Does anyone have a good relationship with spandex? But you're right, the more time you spend together, the tighter you become 😉
Off The Rails: A Triathlon-Related Shopping Bender
"The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one." ~Erma Bombeck
It was a big week, folks, in the competitive world of endurance shopping, but the underdog from Nashville takes the gold! Yes, I'm looking at a pile of lovely and sporty purchases and realizing that I may have flexed my spending muscle more than my actual muscles this week.
Scene: A lazy, rainy Saturday afternoon in Acme Multisports, a shop specializing in triathlon gear. It's quiet because it's the end of the day and I am one of the last customers in the store. One of the staff members has his son's adorable puppy in the store with him and it's roaming around looking adorable and trying to find something to chew on. I'm also roaming around the store, looking not nearly as adorable as the puppy, chewing on my fingernails because I know I should stop, but I can't. I have an arm-full of stuff and I'm about to head to the counter when I am distracted suddenly by a book about beginner triathletes. I can't pass it up. I must have it. I'm a beginner after all. Oh, yes, and throw in those handy silicone ear plugs.
I pay for my items and get the following advice from the nice man with the puppy: "Keep it simple. Don't over-pack and bring a ton of stuff with you into the transition area. I see people dragging in 5-gallon buckets and all kinds of stuff they don't need. Keep it to just what you need, so there's less to think about and you can get in and get out." So says he to the girl who just bought another bag full of triathlon-related materials.
Here is a list of what I bought this week at ACME, the Nike Outlet and online:
-A membership to the Nashville Triathlon Club so I can participate in their open-water swim practices.
-A very nifty Blackburn Air Tower 2 bicycle pump.
-Garneau cycling gloves
-TYR soft silicone ear plugs
-2 neon-colored Nike Dri-Fit running shirts
-Garneau Triathlon shorts and shirt
–Your First Triathlon by Joe Friel
Ok, so did I need a complete race-day ensemble at this juncture? Probably not, but spandex and I have had a tumultuous relationship and I figure the more time I have with it, the better friends we will become. And it was on sale.
I actually did need all of this stuff. The book may have been an impulse purchase, but better a book than a kayak. (In case you're wondering how a kayak fits into all of this, I saw a kayak in Sun & Surf Sports recently and had an unexplained urge to buy it. I did not.) I can't imagine what else I could possibly need or want in the sports-related gear department, but I'm sure some need or another will reveal itself and send me scurrying back to the sporting-goods store.
Until then I am going to be planning my first telethon to support my first triathlon: Robin's Holy-Crap-This-Is-An-Expensive-Hobby Triathlon Telethon. Thank you and goodnight.
*On a less ridiculous note: The guys at Acme Multisports in Goodlettsville, TN were awesome and very helpful. Check out their link:

Gordon joins select club with team's 24 hours win
DAYTONA BEACH — Retired NASCAR star Jeff Gordon joined an exclusive club Sunday after his team won the 24 Hours at Daytona. Gordon, 45, is the fourth driver to win the 24 Hours and the Daytona 500. A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Jamie McMurray are the only others to accomplish the feat.
"Not bad company," said Gordon, who has three Daytona 500 victories (1997, '99, 2005). "It was the thrill of a lifetime. I'm just so honored … to be part of this experience."
Gordon was the fourth driver for Wayne Taylor Racing's No. 10 Cadillac in the endurance race.
"Can you believe it? I got him for free," team owner Wayne Taylor said. "I made him pay for the paint on the car. Of course, he sold it to his sponsor."
Gordon drove for free to keep a promise he made to Taylor after the 2007 race. He told Taylor he would return after he retires.
Taylor's son Ricky used a gutsy pass with less than seven minutes left to win Sunday.
U.S. ties in Arena's return as coach
The United States had just one shot on target against a young Serbia team, resulting in a 0-0 draw at San Diego. It was Bruce Arena's opening game in his second stint as U.S. coach since Jurgen Klinsmann was fired in November. Arena used mostly U.S.-based players after a three-week training camp. Jozy Altidore became the 17th American men's player to make 100 international appearances, at 27 years, 84 days the second youngest behind Landon Donovan (26 years, 96 days).
ENGLAND: A pair of nonleague teams advanced to the FA Cup's fifth round for the first time since 1887. Sutton United, a club from the southwest of London, beat visiting, second-tier Leeds 1-0. The upset came a day after host Lincoln, also from outside England's four professional leagues, beat second-tier Brighton 3-1.
BASEBALL: The Royals agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with outfielder Brandon Moss, according to reports.
ALPINE SKIING: Lindsey Vonn finished 12th and defending champion Lara Gut crashed in the World Cup super-G at Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy. Ilka Stuhec won the event, finishing 0.31 seconds ahead of Sofia Goggia. It was the first time Vonn left Cortina without a win since 2009. Mikaela Shiffrin missed the podium by 0.03 seconds in the best speed result of her career. For the men, Marcel Hirscher beat Alexis Pinturault in the World Cup giant slalom at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
HORSES: Dublin Girl ($7.60) beat Toni Tools by a length in the $100,000 Maddie May Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Aqueduct in New York. Dublin Girl's time was 1 minute, 46.46 seconds for the mile and 70 yards.

Well not exactly. But it might as well be a playoff series with the victor taking the series and possibly the one playoff spot guaranteed to the winner of the NL East. The Mets have handled the Phils all season. As I watch the game online with a first inning run from the brethren, I am nervous that may not be enough. If my entire head is not grey already, it surely will be after this weekend.

We started our day by watching Lucy from Room 15 perform two amazing Irish dances. She did the Irish Reel and then a special dance called St Patrick's Day dance.
Lucy was an outstanding dancer and we enjoyed her performance. She had a fantastic costume too.
This is a movie of her dancing. Later in the day we had a go at Irish dancing too!
When we came back to our class Cillian shared some incredible information with our class about St Patrick's Day. He told us all about who St Patrick was and he told us that he scared all the snakes out of Ireland....and now there are no snakes there! Cillian spoke very well and we loved how proud he is of his Irish heritage.
Have a listen to him here.'
After this we made some green jelly....we made some to share with our Room 15 friends too!
During reading time today we worked on a poem about Leprechauns and did some other fun Irish activities. We were going to go on a Leprechaun hunt too but the weather was too wet.
We also played with some very cool green slime!
When it was lunch time Room 15 children came into our class singing "Happy St Patrick's Day to you" to us....and the children each had a special green drink for us!
We enjoyed eating jelly and drinking green lemonade!
At writing time we wrote stories about St Patrick's Day.
Before we went home we each did some Irish dancing.
What a cool day we had!

Graphic NovelsHey there everyone out in comic book land,
Today marks another return/another try at bringing you a blog on my thoughts on all things comic books and geek related.
I'd love to get some interviews and reviews with independent comic book creators to help spread the word about your comics. Please contact me here and I will tell you how to send me your comics. I will also be looking at some webcomics for the first time and more movies as I can.
I've tried this blog thing before a few times and I put too much pressure on myself to get it out on time and I just couldn't keep up and so I cancelled it. This time around I'll have no schedule but try to get something out every week.
I hope you all come back and enjoy some comics with me.

Britney Spears (No, really!), A Possible Splintering Of The GOP, Raw Politics, Elissa Walls Interview, And Clarence Thomas Speaks (Monday's Show)
Anyway, we kick things off with Anderson admitting that Britney actually isn't the most important news story of the day. She's not even a news story! She's entertainment news. Is there no line anymore? We then get a Randi Kaye piece that basically recaps the pop princess's career. I've always been grateful that my formidable teen years leaned more towards the Nirvana part of the 90's, than the bubble gum groups that came later in the decade. But enough about that. Next we've got some legal analysis from Jeffrey Toobin. Oh, Toobin. What are you doing, man? This is your week. You've got a best-selling book that's getting great reviews. Couldn't you tell them to suck it? Be a diva. You know you want to.
On now to discussion about Britney with Dr. Gail Saltz, psychiatrist. Oh boy. "Is this bottom?" asks Anderson. At this point I'm not sure if he's talking about Britney or the show. You know, when I heard she was having her kids taken away, I just felt sad. This is a person who obviously has a lot of problems and now there are people who don't even know her discussing her life on national television. How does this help? It's sickening. Suicide is mentioned and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we hear of an attempt in the future. And the media will bear some responsibility.
Transitioning now to a John King piece on how conservatives hate Giuliani. It's the abortion and gay rights thing. I was wondering when this was going to happen. They're threatening to create their own party if he gets the nomination. Good! The country went down the toilet when the GOP was united, so the party in shambles can only mean good things. To talk about that possibility, we're next joined by Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. Anderson asks if he's worried about the plan backfiring and the democrats going home with the prize. Tony then says that they're not creating this new third party now, only if Giuliani gets nominated. So it's a threat then. And my guess is an empty threat at that. Anderson points out that people care more about domestic issues than social issues anyway. But Tony's all about stopping abortion and he calls the other side "pro-abortion," which is really annoying and unfair because people who believe in choice are not for abortions. Tony also thinks that in a Giuliani/Hillary Clinton battle, Clinton's the one who will end up picking out the White House drapes.
Next up we've got Tom Foreman with our "Raw Politics" and it seems the Democrats are kicking Republican butt when it comes to fund raising. Poor GOP. You should make yourself feel better by wasting a lot of time talking about a bad pun. Joe Johns has the headlines tonight, but perhaps someone forgot to tell him that included doing "What Were They Thinking?" because there's a moment where he and Anderson kind of awkwardly stare at each other before Joe is basically like, "oh yeah, I gotta do that thing." And Anderson almost started laughing, but he quickly swallowed it down and gave us his Larry-King-has-just-said-something-really-weird-but-I'm-not-going-to-react face. Oh, so what's the segment about tonight? Well, apparently in order to teach about racism and the "Jena 6", some school decided to put a noose around a couple of kid's necks. So . . . wow. Yeah, not much thinking there.
Moving on now to the case of Warren Jeffs and the story of Elissa Walls the woman that was forced by Jeffs to marry her cousin when she was 14 years old. We begin the polygamy coverage with a Gary Tuchman piece that kind of recaps everything. We also see Gary getting shunned. Again. Poor Gary. Then Anderson has an interview with Elissa and her current husband that she loves. They discuss why she decided to come forward and pretty much for her it's all about the child abuse. She doesn't believe any child should be abused, whether under the umbrella of religion or not. Amen. BTW, she's only 21 now--barely an adult, but oh so brave.
We've got Toobin back again now, but he's going to talk about something a little more worthy this time: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. I said more worthy, not fun or likeable. From Toobin we learn that Thomas is angry. Oh and you won't like him when he's angry. You know, mostly because he takes away your rights and stuff. Apparently this guy has some sort of massive chip on his shoulder and furious is his default state. He was on 60 Minutes and we're played a clip of him speaking about Anita Hill. Anderson notes that he dismisses all those charges, but doesn't address the details. Toobin points out that he actually wasn't asked about the details. Anderson then has to stick up for his 60 Minutes colleague by asking whether or not they knew for sure he didn't ask, as opposed to the questions just not airing. Toobin admits he doesn't know, but um, the difference means nothing to those of us watching at home. Sounds like Thomas got a softball.
Toobin says that, actually, all evidence points to Anita Hill being the truthful one. And after reading David Brock's Blinded by the Right, I completely believe that. Brock is a recovering Republican who is the founder of mediamatters.org., current nemesis of Bill O'Reilly. He wasn't just a Republican, he was an Ann Coulter Republican, and his hit piece and book on Anita Hill (which he has admitted are full of lies) were instrumental in her smearing. But Brock has since left the darkness and works for the good guys now. Hey, maybe there's hope for Ann yet.
The Shot tonight is the Great Pumpkin Regatta. Pumpkins float. Who knew? The show tonight started out surreal and the rest was okay. C-

It has taken six seasons for the Golden Globes to finally recognize Lena Headey for her work as the conniving Cersei Lannister on "Game of Thrones." The Hollywood Foreign Press usually loves to recognize performers on new shows, but Headey wouldn't be the first to pull off a win for Best TV Supporting Actress for a later season of her series. Kim Cattrall ("Sex and the City," 2003), Chloe Sevingy ("Big Love," 2010) and Joanne Froggatt ("Downton Abbey," 2015) also achieved that feat.

with experts' latest predictions and breaking news
Many prognosticators believed that after her walk of "Shame!" in season five's finale "Mother's Mercy" Headey might contend at the Globes, but she was snubbed. However, season six belonged to Cersei. It began with Headey mourning the death of her only daughter, Myrcella (Nell Tiger Free). Then while awaiting trial by the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) she plotted how to take him down. Seemingly defeated, it wasn't until the season finale when Cersei vanquished all of her enemies at once by blowing up the sept. On top of that, her son Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman), the reigning king, killed himself, thereby completing a tragic prophecy handed down to Cersei when she was a child. But Ceresei finally gets what she's always wanted and is crowned Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. To put it mildly this was Headey's best season to date.
Besides the Globes' love of awarding what's new, they love to correct the Emmys' mistakes. Cattrall had been nominated for "Sex and the City" at the Golden Globes and Emmys two years in a row (1999-2000), but with her co-star Sarah Jessica Parker pregnant in real life Cattrall's story line was increased and she won the Globe (2003); however, the Emmys never awarded her.
Dish 'Game of Thrones' with Hollywood insiders in our notorious forums
Several years later Sevigny was completely snubbed by the Emmys for her work on "Big Love," but the Globes saw fit to award her (2010) on her first and only nomination for that role. And Froggatt, who had always stood in her co-star Maggie Smith's shadow, won the Globe on her first try (2015) with a storyline in season four focusing on sexual assault; she never won an Emmy either.
Headey has contended three times in a row at the Emmys without winning (2014-2016), and now she could easily be the next on this list redeemed at the Golden Globes.
Diversity at the Golden Globes: Actors of color could make history
For its first season in 2011 "Game of Thrones" received two Globe nominations: Best Drama Series and Best TV Supporting Actor (Peter Dinklage), winning the latter. The show was snubbed entirely for its second and third seasons, but it returned to the Best Drama Series race in 2015 and 2016 for its fourth and fifth seasons, but none of its actors were singled out for recognition.
Now that "Game of Thrones" is the Emmys' most awarded primetime series of all time, the Globes are beginning to look foolish for not awarding one of the most popular shows on television. That's what happened in 2014 when "Breaking Bad" and star Bryan Cranston finally won for their final season. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association does not like to look as if they're out of touch, so if they choose this year as their opportunity to correct that Headey could easily go along for the ride.
Golden Globes 2017: Full list of nominations
According to Gold Derby's exclusive odds in the catch-all Best TV Supporting Actress race, Thandie Newton ("Westworld") sits in first place with odds of 2/5 as of this writing. Chrissy Metz ("This Is Us") is currently in second place with odds of 9/2, while her on-screen mother, Mandy Moore, is right on her heels in third place with odds of 18/1. Olivia Colman ("The Night Manager"), the only nominee from a limited series or movie, sits in fourth with odds of 33/1. Headey is in fifth place with odds of 40/1, but if there is ever a category designed to give us an upset it's Best TV Supporting Actress — remember Maura Tierney's surprise win just last year for "The Affair"?
Don't underestimate Headey; while the odds might have her in last place this category is ripe for an upset. The Globes clearly are paying attention to her stellar work on "Game of Thrones." Keep in mind the only other performer ever nominated for the show (Dinklage) also won when many thought he might not.

Less than a week after the Union Budget, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan reduced the repo rate - the rate at which RBI lends to banks - by 25 basis points, to 7.5%, citing improved government finances. However, the burden of home and auto loans on borrowers is expected to ease only in April, the beginning of the new financial year. This is RBI's second rate cut in the last two months but only three of 45 banks - Union Bank, United Bank, and Karur Vysya - have so far lowered the benchmark rates.
Banks are yet to pass on the benefits of the earlier midterm cut in rates on January 15. "Since there is a lag effect for the monetary transmission to take place, effect of previous 25 basis points cut together with the present rate cut would encourage banks to review their base rates," T M Bhasin, chairman of Indian Bank, said.
Although banks have seen a marginal dip in cost of funds, they are reluctant to lower rates now due to earning pressure on account of rising bad loans. Also, the financial year end is the time banks try to beef up their balance sheet by aggressively mobilizing deposits and often offer better deals.
An immediate rate cut would reduce interest income for banks. Although some economists did forecast a rate cut given the improvement in the quality of fiscal deficit in the Budget, the timing of the rate cut took markets by surprise. Apart from announcing the cut midweek, this was also the first time that RBI announced its decision before markets opened for TRADING.

I finished adding the binding to the green and orange doll quilt yesterday. If you click on the pictures you get a better look at the dinasours. I was a little disappointed with the binding on the pink one. It puckered badly .Maybe because I was sewing four layers of flannel or because I didn't have enough fabric to cut it on the bias?Not sure but it is what it is I'm not doing it over.

Sometimes I'm my worst enemy and struggle to keep from continually sabotaging myself. My Achilles heel? Procrastination. I struggle daily to just get it done, whatever it is that's pending. I don't understand why I can't just tackle whatever it is and just get it done. Later, I tell myself, later and sometimes waiting until its too late costs me something.
Despite all the pitfalls, I continue to procrastinate. I've managed to curtail my habit at work but in my personal life it runs rampant. Is it procrastination or am I hiding a problem with laziness? I almost missed the deadline to challenge my property tax assessment and when I realized the deadline was extended I still procrastinated. I have until Friday to send in my cell phone rebate, will I make it?

text: Im getting more and more confused with the whole egg laying process. I have several questions that I really need answered if you guys wouldn't mind. 1. Do your chickens NEED a nesting box to lay eggs? Or will they simply find a cozy spot in your coop in order to lay? Will a nesting box increase egg laying numbers? 2. What in the heck does broody mean? 3. Will a chicken sit on a non fertile egg? 4. Will a chicken always sit and raise a fertile egg? Once the fertile egg hatches do you need to bring the chick into a brooder or will nature take its course? 5. How do you make sure that the chick is eating the chick starter and not layer and the hens are eating layer not chick starter?? I know it sounds like i don't know alot but those are the main gaps in my poultry knowledge that I would like to find out about. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ANYONE THAT TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER THESE!!!!!

I am a big believer in blogging about current news…really, because people are always interested in the latest buzz.
But, as we all know, the latest "buzz" usually lasts for about 72 hours, and then we're onto another story. So, I am also big on talking about what the futurists are saying about trends on the horizon and how those are going to impact our world.
The following ten suggestions will give you access to cutting edge content about future trends…just by looking through these sites, you will begin to uncover ideas that will keep your blog fresh and up to date:
1) List your site with http://blogburst.com to get the media's attention quickly.
2) Go to http://www.wordle.net and create a word cloud for the right of your blog. With Wordle, you can see what the most used words are on your blog, and you can capture the attention of the public quickly by using hot words in your posts and in the tags on your blog.

|Gastroschisis is a defect of the Umbilical ring: Evidence from Morphological evaluation of stillborn fetuses.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23554304 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Gastroschisis (GS) is usually described as an abdominal wall defect, to the right of a normally inserted umbilical cord, without membraneous covering of the extruded organs. However, precise anatomical descriptions are lacking in the literature. Our aims were to provide evidence that allows reconsideration of its current definition, as well as an explanation for prenatal death, based on detailed observation of stillborn fetuses with GS and a review of the literature. METHODS: Prenatal studies, clinical examinations, and histological findings of five stillborn fetuses with isolated GS are described and photographic evidence is provided. RESULTS: In all five cases, the umbilical cord was only attached to the left side of the umbilical ring, while the right side remained uncovered, allowing evisceration of abdominal organs. Histological evidence of mucoid-like tissue at the free border of the ring suggests that at that site the cord was initially inserted and later detached. Characteristics of the umbilical ring, bowel dilatation, and autopsy findings of acute asphyxia strongly support compression of umbilical vessels as the cause of fetal death. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these findings, on the lack of evidence in the literature demonstrating full-thickness abdominal wall separating the defect from the umbilical cord, and on a critical review of the proposed mechanisms favoring the hypothesis of a defect separate from the umbilical ring, we propose that GS represents a failure in the normal attachment between umbilical cord and umbilical ring. The consistent clinical course of fetuses with prenatal demise suggests careful targeted monitoring during late gestation. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

North Korea Might Have Accidentally Hit Its Own Cities With A Missile
On April 29, North Korea conducted a third test launch of the Hwasong-12 from the Pukchang airfield in the South Pyongan province, about 45 miles north of the country's capital, a new location, as the missile had previously been test-launched-unsuccessfully-twice before that month from a site near the port city of Sinpo, on the northeastern coast.
The rocket reportedly crashed into the city of Tokchon and seriously damaged industrial or agricultural buildings.
As for what this means for the USA, the Diplomat explained that rather than coming from known launch pads, DPRK missiles may originate from hardened tunnels, hangers or other newly constructed storage sites scattered all around the country, which has added to and diversified its list of launch points.
"The other could be to use the pro forma launch of a satellite into space to test whether the missile was capable of re-entry into the atmosphere".
There are claims North Korea may have accidentally hit one of its own cities with a missile.
Satellite images from May 2017 reportedly show damage caused by a failed test launch that struck the North Korean city of Tokchon weeks earlier in April, according to a United States government official.
Because of the secretive nature of functioning in North Korea, many say it is not possible to completely authenticate the report but that there is evidence to show that the IRBM caused destruction in a civilian area.
Although the images show that the explosion caused considerable damage in the heavily populated area, there is no way to tell if the crash led to casualties.
Since 2008, photographer Eric Lafforgue ventured to North Korea six times. North Korea launched its first ICBM back in July and the U.S. did nothing but impose more sanctions.
It is believed that the test is likely to take place later this week or next.
Past altercations have also involved Trump calling the North Korea's Supreme Leader as the "little rocket man", whereas, Kim Jong-un called the US President a "dotard" as a sign of insult.
He may have a nuclear button on his desk at all times but North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may not have complete control over his ballistic missiles. "We are sending an armada, very powerful".

A BUSY WEEK part IIThese two posts today are in reverse order. Part II deals more with local issues and the previous post with national events. Newt Gingrich articulates well the plan which I conceive to be in alignment with our own local Inland Empire RHIO effort.
His comments can be watched at the following link
Mr Gingrich has the unique ability to articulate what must be done locally by local resources according to each region's needs. Many of these regions are well along with their own efforts.
Plans are underway for the next RHIO meeting which has been postponed until late May due to important meetings and events that will influence the deliberations of our next RHIO advisory committee meeting.
In May the CMA will hold a meeting led by Jack Lewin M.D. in Indian Wells which will discuss amongst other issues, Health Information Technology,state representatives are slated to be in attendance as well.
A line of communication has been opened between Inland Empire RHIO and Cindy Ehnes, the Director of Managed Care for the State of California. Mrs. Ehnes has been assigned the task of liason for the state with private HIT inititatives. A number of plans are under review, and the state is asking what it can do to encourage local initiatives. From other sources, there are rumors that if CALRHIOs efforts fail,the state
would step in to act as the central leadership. It appears that the state does not as yet have a cohesive plan, nor is there active legislation pending to provide funding as has occured in some other states.
Ms Ehnes opined that foundations, such as the CMA Foundation which has received funds from a number of class actions suits from payors should share in funding of RHIOs. Somewhere in the middle of our conversation, mention was made of "capitation" being involved in incentivizing state participation
in funding RHIOs. Also, somewhere in the conversation the idea of pay for performance and outcome studies also was mentioned.
Personally I do not feel that P4P, nor outcome sudies should be the driving economic engine of RHIO or EMR utilization. If the State of California wants CMA to use funds from payors that resulted from legal actions to recover monies illegally extracted from physicians originally, it reveals how little the state understands the plight of most physicians providers. The mention of capitation brings chills to my mind, and introduces more chaos to the attempt at developing HIT. CMA, I am sure will take a careful look at that proposition.
The comments and opinions are solely those of the writer, not CALRHIO, nor IERHIO.
Gary Levin M.D.

The year 2008 was one of momentous change and wild uncertainty. Though many concerns were raised about China's prospects for mounting the Olympic Games, Beijing triumphed in spectacular form and staged many of the sporting events in uniquely designed venues. Later in the year, the global economic collapse sent the financial markets plunging and investors scrambling and forced consumers to tighten their belts. Worldwide, populations that were already struggling to meet basic needs were further hampered by soaring food prices. Meanwhile, freegans, individuals dedicated to finding alternatives to a consumerist economy, munched on discarded vegetarian foodstuffs. A fractious U.S. presidential campaign resulted in the election of Democrat Barack Obama, who made history as the first African American to win that office...
The wrap-up of 2008 awaits your perusal and promises to provide a historical look at one of the most memorable years in history...

Three cheers for the Arcola Theatre/SEArED revival of the controversial 1976 Dennis Potter television play Brimstone and Treacle. Out of fashion and favour for so long, Potter deserves to be resurrected from the hellish archives of the BBC and to assume his rightful place as the master of the deliciously insightful.
Written as part of an informal trilogy, Brimstone and Treacle challenges aspects of spirituality, belief, duality, morality, deceit, suburban paranoia, xenophobia, innocence and symbolic representation. Alasdair Milne, then Director of TV Programmes at the BBC, 'pulled' the play on the grounds that he found it 'nauseating'. It was finally aired on TV in 1987, by which time Thatcherism was firmly entrenched, Michael Grade had replaced Alasdair Milne, Dennis Potter had become a writer of 'complex intelligence and vivacious imagination', and, as Ludovic Kennedy stated in 'Did You See', 'time has moved the goal posts'. The political landscape and social structure of
has changed immensely in the years since Potter created his masterpiece, and thus it was with great anticipation and glee I found myself wending my way, via train, boat and plane, to this out-of the-way eco-theatre in the wilds of Hackney. Britain

Potter's visitation drama is set in
North London, Summer 1977:
As a nation prepares to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee, a middle-class, middle-aged and small-minded couple struggle to come to terms with the incapacitation of their beloved daughter Pattie, following a hit-and-run car accident. Out of nowhere, an apparently respectable young man arrives on their doorstep to change their lives forever.
From the moment Martin Taylor enters the house we, the audience, know he is not what he pretends to be. His claim to be Pattie's fiancé is quickly undermined by his furtive and sneering glances at the audience. This stranger in the Bates' household creates an air of mystery and fear. Before long he controls all events, and whilst he represents dark forces he clearly is a force for change too. Martin's role as the Devil's Advocate allows him to reveal the bigotries and ideals held by Pattie's parents. The sinister and powerful Martin brings the play to a dramatic and unexpected ending which leaves the audience stunned.
Whilst there are some who may believe that Dennis Potter is a playwright from the past, and that is where he should stay, I would argue the exact opposite. One theatre critic wrote '…it's hard to imagine a more relevant play for today'. I couldn't agree more. More Potter revivals please as his work is truly masterful.

If you're good at baking, then cooking cupcakes and cakes is an excellent concept. If you're no master baker, purchase some pre-made fairy cakes plus cute, baby-themed cookie cutters. Move some royal icing out plus cut shapes out of it with the biscuit cutters. Footprints are adorable, and when you cut out gingerbread men you may use edible icing pens to pull nappies on them.

The main element is not to rush your project yet follow instructions carefully and stick with the exact measurements. Once you have done your best set no doubt you will want to go on in order to many more.

Hobby board game scene booms
By Josher Lumpkin
When I say "board games," it's likely you cringe in horror, flashing back to an eight hour game of Monopoly that ended in tears when your big brother bankrupted you. Or maybe you have fond memories of playing endless games of Scrabble with Grandma, or chess with Dad. Either way, if you're like most people you probably don't realize there is an expansive world of fun and games out there, vastly more exciting and satisfying than Risk and Sorry!
Hobby gaming is an activity that has been growing in popularity in recent years, and is widely enjoyed throughout the Miami Valley. In Dayton and surrounding areas, we are fortunate to have many outlets to purchase and participate in this satisfying and addictive —though sometimes trivial—pursuit. Basically every night of the week, at least one of these shops holds an event that allows people to pop in for a game or two.
One such location—Epic Loot Games & Comics—has been this writer's preferred purveyor of all things game-related since they opened their original location in Centerville in 2011.
"We think of ourselves as sort of half a community center and half a retail store," says Scott Cozzolino, co-owner of Epic Loot.
Cozzolino illustrates his take on the growth in popularity of the traditionally niche activity of board gaming.
"It's definitely grown over the years. Now you have families coming into the store, and people that probably 10 years ago, the only exposure they would have had to hobby gaming was maybe they'd heard of Dungeons and Dragons. But now they're actively seeking out hobby stores, and coming in looking for some of these games that have really broken into the mainstream," he says.
According to Cozzolino, the increase in popularity for board games in the US is due to European-style board games, or Eurogames. Eurogames, which range in complexity from extremely simple to mind-bogglingly complicated, usually involve strategy over luck, with the management of resources being a recurrent mechanic. In lieu of dice, often these games include marking progress with wooden cubes or tokens, and use person-shaped wooden figures known lovingly as "meeples."
"The interest in Eurogames started picking up about 15 years ago," Cozzolino says. "I think that picked up interest in board gaming in general. And over probably the last five years it's definitely been roped into the mainstream. You've got games like Cards Against Humanity breaking into the mainstream. It's not a hard core strategy game, [it's a] fun party game, but it's increasing the public awareness of gaming in general and it's bringing people into hobby stores like ours."
This growing popularity has brought growth to the Epic Loot brand, as well.
"When we first opened the Centerville store, with 5,800 square feet, we thought, 'Wow that's so much space!' Like, bigger than almost any other game store," Cozzolino says. "So, we couldn't even imagine that we would fill that space on a regular basis, and as we've grown we're finding that we are. That store gets packed a lot."
In October, Cozzolino and the other owners opened another Epic Loot location. Cozzolino says the owners were looking to open a shop that wasn't too close to their original location, with more space to play, and more parking for gamers.
"We started looking around, and we thought Springfield would be the perfect place," he says. "We found the Upper Valley Mall, which had some vacancies in it. So we ended up leasing a space out there."
I asked Cozzolino, a skilled gamer with a lifetime of experience under his belt, what he thought would be a good entry-level board game for people who are interested in the hobby, but don't know quite where they should dive in. He recommended an old favorite.
"Settlers of Catan has always been a great one to start with," Cozzolino says. "It's a nice kind of bridge game between old school, mainstream games that people may be familiar with like Monopoly, and the more Euro strategy-type games that are popular with hobby gamers. Most people are used to the 'roll and move' mechanic, where you roll the dice and move your piece that many spaces, then you do whatever the space that you land on says to do," Cozzolino continues. "Settlers of Catan is a slightly more evolved mechanic. You do roll dice every turn, but you're not using those dice to move figures around. There's some luck involved and there's some skill involved, so it's a nice bridge game to get people used to games that have a larger skill component, and then from there maybe moving on to ones that have even larger skill components."
Thursday nights at the Centerville Epic Loot location are a great time to make some new friends and play some games.
"It's a very open, inviting group. We have a big games library, so people will take games out of our games library to play, but also people bring in their own games. Usually you know people will grab a game and say, 'who wants to play this one with me here?' So it's very open and inviting kind of situation," says Cozzolino.
Game-Day, the group that puts on the Thursday night board gaming event at Epic Loot, has been organizing such functions around the Miami Valley since their inception in 2005. Patrick Hillier, longtime member of Game-Day, says he, too, has noticed a surge in attendance at the group's board game nights.
"I'd say Wil Wheaton's show, TableTop, which shows TV stars playing games and lead to a deal with Target carrying the games he shows, really opened up the Big Box retailers to the hobby game market to the masses," observes Hillier. "This has branched out to even Walmart and Meijer carrying [popular hobby games] Dominion or Ticket to Ride. Barnes and Noble has become a significant source for hobby games."
Wil Wheaton, who was made famous by his childhood role on Star Trek: The Next Generation, has been the de facto spokesperson for all things "geek" in recent years. His web series—TableTop—has more than 1.3 million subscribers.
Hillier postulates that TableTop, along with things like the popularization of comic book movies, are bringing into the mainstream things that were once considered too dorky to discuss.
"I think the nerd chic movement helped, and it was okay to do things like play board games," Hillier says. "The characters on Big Bang Theory are playing real board games [most of the time. The card game is obviously a play on Magic the Gathering, but uses cards with funnier names for humor] on their table and we have fun while watching, figuring out what it is."
In the end, Hillier says Game-Day works because board gaming is a breath of fresh analogue air in a rapidly digitized society.
"For me it is all about the social interaction and the experience I take away from a game," he tells me. "I really prefer larger groups, in stores with a variety of people. We love to sit around and harass each other. 'Oh man, you took the spot I was going to!' or tell stories of past conquest: 'Remember that time when we played [blank] and that exciting thing happened?'"
Boardgamers of Dayton (BOD) is another local group that loves to hit the table to roll dice and push tokens. Their biweekly board game night takes place at Bell, Book and Comic on the first and third Tuesdays of every month.
BOD formed in 2003 as a group on MeetUp.com, a website where people with similar interests can find others of their ilk. The founder of the group, Renee, passed away earlier this year. Current Administrator Kay Osborn found herself unwittingly thrust into a leadership position.
"I just got on the site one day and somebody had made me a co-organizer," Osborn explains. "I'm kind of good at organizing and running things so I was probably a good option from that point of view. When I do something, I take it seriously, and I spent a lot of time trying to learn the MeetUp site and going through all the help files, and going through all the membership, and getting in contact with the other organizers trying to figure out how we're going to keep going. So I'm the kind of person that I would spend the time doing that and learning it and trying to take control of that."
Osborn speaks highly of Boardgamers of Dayton's departed founder.
"She was involved in so many things, everybody knew who she was," Osborn remembers. "It wasn't just gaming, she did everything with her life that she could. She just tried to do everything with every night of the week that she possibly could. Filled it in with as much as she could, and just tried to have as much life as she could while she was here."
Osborn says BOD has definitely experienced an increase of attendance at the group's meetups since Renee's passing.
"To be honest, I'm not sure where some of these people are coming out of the woodwork," she says. "There's a few of us who were regulars, about three or four other people that have been coming for a while. We never got up to 16, like recently, but there were nights that we would have 12 or 13, and it would last for a short time and people would disappear again."
Osborn believes that the group inspires smaller subgroups to form, carrying the love of board games into new territories.
"I think a lot of times it would be because people found some other people that they like playing with and then started just kind of playing at somebody's house," she says. "It was more a place for them to meet-up, and then kind of find each other and then they would disappear from the group and go do their own thing."
A childhood love of gaming sparked Osborn's interest in the hobby. She quickly got addicted once she finally found her people.
"I've always loved card games and board games, ever since I was a kid," Osborn says. "It's just that there was nobody to play with so I had this huge chunk of time where I was playing junk on the computer. I was playing computer games and I didn't even know some of those games existed, and there was nobody to play with and I, too, just got up on MeetUp. I wasn't looking specifically for games necessarily, so I just got on MeetUp and kind of went through some of the subjects and stuff and said, 'Oh games, I like games,' so that's how this popped up. […] If I'd had people to play with I'm sure I would have been playing them that whole time."

I love playing with my toy.
He's so cute in his squishy diaper.
What's underneath makes me as wet as he is.
I love to reach down inside and feel him,
Hot and hard,
Ready to please.
And please he does.
He's always ready for me,
My eager,
Desperately horny little boy.
My pleasure is his overwhelming desire,
And seeing his desire fans mine.
Watching the only part of him that is a man twitch and pulse
Gives me tingles that radiate from my clit
And spread through my body,
Making me ache for his touch.
But teasing him comes first.
I love how he shivers and moans,
And the way goose bumps prickle his skin under my fingers.
I love to have him spread eagle,
Completely under my control.
I love his giggles when I tickle him,
And how he tries to wiggle away.
I tell him to be still.
He wants to,
But his body fights.
The binds keep him where I want him:
Completely at my mercy.
He is an obedient boy, though.
He stops himself from cumming when I tell him to,
Even when he's panting and groaning,
Precum oozing out
As his hips thrust involuntarily.
I like to keep him there,
On the edge of exploding,
Again and again.
Each time I try to get closer to the point of no return.
Sometimes fast,
Sometimes slowly,
Sometimes only using my fingertip.
I run my nails along his chest,
Skimming my lips across his neck
And breathing in his scent.
I nibble at his ear
And whisper,
"Mommy loves her good little toy."
I push my body against his,
My hard nipples grazing his arm
And leaving trails of milk…
Little white dots against his course hair.
I grind myself against his leg,
Moaning and writhing
As I continue to stroke him.
It takes less and less time before I have to stop.
I'm playing his body like a fine instrument,
Every sound,
Every tightening muscle telling me something…
How long can I prolong his torture?
Finally I allow a release,
But not a full one.
I move my hand away just as he starts to reach his climax,
And watch the ribbons of his cum spurt across his stomach,
And pool in his belly button.
It was just the faintest touch of my lips against his that set him off.
I scoop up his cum and feed it to him,
Smiling as he greedily swallows it down,
Thanking me and begging me for more with his eyes.
Insatiable boy.
I give him my nipple,
Swollen and red,
And let him drink the sweet nectar
While I pat his head.
But I'm too excited and ready to burst.
I straddle his face,
Making him lick my pussy
And drink my juices.
Cum and piss,
He gulps it all down
Like the dirty fucktoy he is.
When he needs to go,
I let him use his diaper.
Good little boy.
I need his throbbing cock inside of me,
So I take him.
But as I lower myself onto him,
I remind him that he doesn't get to cum unless I say so.
I make it difficult, but not impossible.
I rock and sway,
Move up and down,
And make myself cum again.
I give him a small break if he needs it,
Pausing just long enough for him to regain a little composure.
But not much.
My pleasure is the goal, after all.
It is so much fun to play with him!
I lose hours and hours
In that bed with him.
We're sticky and wet with every bodily fluid there is:
Cum, piss, spit, milk, sweat, even tears of pleasure.
And my toy is a messy boy.

Climategate - heating the debate?
In the past month or so each of us at GCBL has been asked for our thoughts and opinions about the illegally obtained private emails from University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit. We've responded to these inquiries individually, but here we offer everyone a bit of insight into what has come to be known as Climategate.
While some news sources pounced on the opportunity to try and instill doubt in the public, via a misinformation campaign based on approximately a dozen messages taken out of context and misconstrued as proof of climate data manipulation, climate scientist, researchers and other news sources were reading through the 1,000+ emails to get the whole story and objectively answer the question ? did these prominent climate scientists manipulate data to further their own agenda?
Over the holidays GreenCityBlueLake steering committee member Bud Talbott put together a helpful list of resources for anyone interested in learning more about the side of the story that didn't receive as much mainstream media coverage.
- Here one can read about an exhaustive study by the Associated Press of all 1,073 stolen messages - some 1 million words ? which concluded that "the messages don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked."
- Here one can read about stolen email messages that demonstrate "just how hard the scientists work to make sure they are getting the information right."
- Here one can read about "why the great majority of knowledgeable scientists are convinced that climate change poses a serious threat to us," as explained by climate scientist and Climate Central Executive Director, Berrien MoorenIII.
- Here one can find links to a variety of resources including background information, press releases, factchecks, and analyses by the Union of Concerned Scientists. Among the resources found on this site worth highlighting are:
- An open letter to Congress from some of the most prominent climate scientists in the country reemphasizing that "The body of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of global warming is overwhelming. The content of the stolen emails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming. The scientific process depends on open access to methodology, data, and a rigorous peer-review process. The robust exchange of ideas in the peer-reviewed literature regarding climate science is evidence of the high degree of integrity in this process."
- A Washington Post op-ed by Michael Mann, one of the implicated scientists, in response to an op-ed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in which he notes, "The conspiracy theories about the e-mails are fueled in part by their criticisms of the quality of two papers regarding global warming and a suggestion that at least one of the papers be kept out of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. As Nature noted in a recent editorial, neither the e-mail writers nor the IPCC suppressed any findings. Both papers were included in the IPCC's report.
- Here one will find a searchable list of all 1,073 stolen emails, arranged chronologically from March of 1996 to November of 2009 - in case you want to form your own opinion.
- Here one can find a handy set of Frequently Asked Questions about climate science
Bud also recommended the recently released "Storms of My Grandchildren" by Dr. James Hansen, adjunct professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University and at Columbia's Earth Institute, and director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies as an "additional and more detailed resource that clearly describes the emergency nature of this issue."
Many thanks to you Bud for gathering these resources for us.

1,848 articles on DariaWiki, with excellent recent efforts by Nighthawk, Dr. Mike, Brother Grimace, and Quiverwing. Thank you!
