in mid afternoon people, for chrissakes
C: Did you see that report about Congress preparing to hold hearings??
Ja: (interrupts) Yeah, they got my man Doug Morris under fire and shit, they got him going down to go speak to Congress about hip-hop lyrics, are you fucking serious? There's a fucking black kid right now about to get 25 years for having a fight with some white kids over hanging the nooses over the white tree, lets get to that. Let's get into shit like that, because that's what's tearing up America, not me calling a woman a bitch or a hoe on my rap songs. And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and fucking MGM, and all of these other motherfuckers that's making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit. Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid afternoon. Let's talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up America, I don't know what is. There's a lot of issues we can address besides hip-hop, but they want to put everything on us like we're the problem. But see, and this is going to be a shameless fucking plug, but I said, "when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why there's so much corruption, they only need to look in the mirror." It starts with themselves.

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a New York news conference today, Tuesday, March 29th to endorse President Barack Obama's Libya policy
Martin says the "Romper Room Republicans" who pander to Iowa conservatives are not serious candidates for the presidency
Andy says politics used to stop at the water's edge; he supports a return to a bipartisan foreign policy.
Martin hosts a Friday conference in Washington, DC attacking Obama even as Martin supports the general principles of the "Obama Doctrine"
(NEW YORK)(March 29, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a New York news conference today, Tuesday, March 29th at 1:00 P.M. to announce he supports President Barack Obama's Libyan policy as presented by Obama on Monday evening. Martin is the only presidential candidate is either party with actual foreign policy and Arabic experience. Andy has been to Libya and is recognized Middle East expert. He may be the only Republican with an Honorable Discharge from the military.
Martin is expected to separate himself from the "right-wing romper room Republicans" who pander to extremist appetites with relentless criticism of the president on foreign policy matters. Martin says the "Iowa presidential candidates" are entertaining but unelectable.
"I have always said that my differences with Barack Obama were political and not personal. Today, to the 'extreme' surprise of many of my Republican colleagues, I want to support the policy President Obama announced on Monday evening Politically, as a candidate myself, I want to draw a line in the sand between 'adult' Republican presidential candidates and the right-wing romper room presidential candidates that are thrilling Iowa conservatives. When I get to Iowa in a few weeks, it will be with serious policy proposals, not a grab bag of jingles, talking points and entertaining but ultimately counterproductive shtick.
"I was Barack Obama's first critic, and I have been his most relentless political and policy opponent. So why do I support Obama on Libya? Two reasons: policy and politics. I believe Obama's policy is correct and represents mainstream American values. Politically, I believe my Republican colleagues, who I also enjoy listening to, are unelectable because their political views are both extremist and impractical.
"Let me start with Obama's policy. Ironically, both Obama and I, for different reasons, opposed the Iraq invasion. I opposed the Iraq invasion because it was unnecessary, excessively expensive and would enhance Israel's enemies while undermining our allies in the region. I was proven correct. I lived in Baghdad during part of 2003 and I was an early critic of the chaos to come. I also predicted that President Bush's 'surge' would work. But the fact that we are withdrawing from Iraq under honorable conditions should not fool us into believing the invasion was sound foreign policy.
"Watching Bill O'Reilly's reaction Monday evening I was struck by the maturity of O'Reilly's foreign policy instincts. Impressive. O'Reilly was quite correct that Iraq cost America. It cost us at home, and it cost us abroad. Today Iran is stronger and Israel is weaker, all as a proximate consequence of the ill-advised Iraq invasion. Fair-minded adults can recognize the reality of Iraq for what it is.
"Generally speaking, Americans are not a warlike people. We do not like to start wars or stick our noses into other people's problems. We like to use our guns to go hunting and protect our homes, not to send our young men and women off to war. But we are also a humanitarian nation. Like President Ronald Regan, I see America as the shining city on a hill (see link below). We are always first on the ground when there is a natural disaster, and our hearts are always with the victims of terrorism and totalitarianism. When provoked, we fight. Striking the correct balance between activism and restraint is not an easy process. That is why Americans demand maturity, wisdom and experience in the White House. With all due respect, I am the only Republican candidate with the experience and restraint to serve as president and commander-in-chief.
"There is no doubt that the policy Obama announced on Monday, called by Sean Hannity and others the 'Obama Doctrine,' arose out of initial confusion and hesitation. Obama is reluctant to deploy military power. Guess what? Americans like that. We can't say that 'we are not the world's police force' and then ramp up a military engagement every time there is a crisis.
"Second, Obama's policy was and is fiscally responsible. Many nations are now bearing the cost of the Libyan intervention.
"Third, subtlety is not a liability in foreign policy. It is a distinct advantage. Obama has our adversaries guessing just where we will strike, how, and what his parameters are. President Richard Nixon would approve of this Obama's policy.
"Fourth, Monday I saw many Democrats adopting my views on America as an exceptional nation that has to act when there is urgency.
"We used to say that 'politics stopped at the water's edge,' and we were a stronger and better nation when Democrats and Republicans came together to project a unified foreign policy. Since the Viet-Nam era foreign policy has been a political football, with left and right winding up on different sides. We are weaker for our divisions.
"As president I would work to develop a bipartisan foreign policy and absolutely a bipartisan consensus on military intervention. If Democrats that I usually dislike, such as Representative Anthony Weiner, are willing to walk the walk on American exceptionalism, as he is, then I want to invite him/them to sit down together and talk the talk.
"I did not serve on active duty in the military, but I received an honorable discharge from the reserves. I have been in Viet-Nam, Laos, Cambodia, China, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere. I have seen the face of war. I believe it is essential we put aside our partisan differences and start working to establish mutual trust between every American, Democrat, Republican and independent when it comes to foreign policy. I hope for the day when, once again, politics stops at the water's edge. That will be my goal as president.
"Now let me turn to the political implications of the Obama Doctrine.
First, this doctrine will resonate with independents. It is a policy of restraint, not interventionism. To the extent that the right-wing 'Romper Room Republican' presidential candidates are seen as either relentless critics or shameless activists, Obama wins.
Second, I want the 2012 election to focus on domestic policy. Obama is dead wrong on his domestic agenda, 100%, 100 proof wrong, wrong, wrong. On that point, I agree with the romper room candidates. We need a 'war' over Obama's ruinous domestic policies. Fighting 'two wars,' over foreign policy and domestic policy, does not serve Republican interests. Republicans need to nominate an 'adult' candidate if they hope to defeat Obama.
"I am the only Illinoisan presidential candidate, and I know Obama's history. If anyone thinks Obama is going to be a pushover in 2011, as the Romper room Republicans suggest, they are mistaken. Obama was a shrewd poker player in Springfield because he played he played his cards close to the vest.
"Monday night, Barack Obama became a president. Barack and I still have vast differences of policy. I don't think he's qualified to be president. My views haven't changed on that point. I strongly disagree with his domestic programs. But Obama was forced to do the right thing in Libya, even though it went against his grain to do so. And, in the end he did the right thing. That's the essence of becoming a leader.
"He made the rest of the world dip their oar in this project. Just because America is an 'exceptional' nation does not mean Uncle Sam should be a sucker and always get stuck with the bill.
"The UAE and Qatar, and Europe's own institutions will be stronger as a result of their joint commitment to the Libya operation. And, like a good poker player, Obama is not announcing his exit plans or parameters in advance. Thus the criticism for lack of an 'exit strategy' is nonsense. From what I see Obama is being very muscular in deploying our men and women. But he is doing so in a 'conservative' way.
"Maybe I'm the only true 'conservative' Republican presidential candidate. I would be a strong leader, but a restrained one. Frankly, there is much to like in the Obama Doctrine. We can improve it, but it is a sensible starting point for the world in which we live.
"Ironically, this Friday I host a Washington DC conference challenging Obama's eligibility to serve as president. No one can deny that I have been the strongest, and often only, voice challenging Obama. I created Obama's biggest nightmare, the 'Birther' movement. But I am a strong enough man, and potentially a strong enough leader, to support the president when he pursues what I believe is a sane policy in Libya.
"I have said from the beginning that I am the only genuine 'Ronald Reagan Republican' in the race and I think my desire for politics to end at the water's edge reflects the Gipper's own worldview. President Reagan did not hesitate to act decisively, and neither would I. But he also saw that in a complex world, subtlety of policy was called for. He succeeded. The 'Romper Room Republicans' are not capable of filling Reagan's shoes. I am.
"In foreign policy, experience counts. I am the only candidate with real experience, on the ground and around the world. That is why I am not afraid to stand up and support Obama on Libya. His approach is reasonable," Martin will state Tuesday.

Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force – Planet Rock (1986)
Released in 1986 on Tommy Boy Records, you can say, this one is a real classic. Including the famous song "Renegades of Funk" (covered by Rage Against The Machine on their "Renegades" record). "Planet Rock" was one of the first hits in early hiphop days, interesting that this song contains samples of the german industrial band "Kraftwerk" and samples of Ennio Morricone. A true must-have record.
Ennio Morricone – Crime And Dissonance
Born in 1928 Ennio Morricone is today one of the most famous TV/cinema composers of the world and my favourite. It would take too long, to list all his film musics or his compositions for live concerts, but you will surely know movies like The Untouchables, For A Fistfull Of Dollars, Lolita etc.
He also worked together with artists like Celine Dion.
If you now think about Italo-Western movies and epic soundtracks, then you´re wrong here, this one is very experimental, the 30 tracks selected by Mike Patton are, like the title shows you, dissonant. Mostly composed in the 60´s and 70´s, you will find some rarities.
No music for every day, but a very special record, if you are open minded in modern-classic or if you are a Ipecac Fan.
Disc One
Man-Or-Astroman? – Experiment Zero (1996)
Here´s another piece from Man-Or-Astroman, their 4th studio record "Experiment Zero"(1996). This one is a little bit more spacy and psychedelic and it sounds more punkrock the guitars and the drum aren´t so surf-rock it more remains like a 80´s punk-band, again you will find a lot of old science-fiction samples, if you know the radio-play Jan Tenner or the classic Batman TV show, you will remember them while you´re listening to "Experiment Zero".
So grab your Batman outfit and a surfboard and let´s go to the beach!

Touch And Go Records
The Appleseed Cast – Peregrine (2006)
The Appleseed Cast, well known for their open-minded, experimental rock style published 2006 a new piece, called "Peregrine", like the last record, this one is nothing for dancing, this is more for a chilled evening with a good wine or a nice and cold cocktail. It´s hard to categorize the band after this record, it´s partly emo, prog-rock and indie.
Conscious – Neo Retro Spectro Graphiks Vol.I
"If I ruled the world I'd send Nas back to school, back of the bus with the rest of the coons."
Said the New York multi-talented artist "Conscious" in his song "Don´t make me angry", one of the best track on his record "Neo Retro Spectro Graphiks Vol.I", a record not for the club or to party to, more to sit back, relax and smoke a fine blunt while you´re listening to Conscious and his fellows Thinker, Kaleal Crooks and L-Star. The difference to other artists is, that he really cares about the art aspect of hip-hop. So check also his other projects out:
Buy his records!
Beastie Boys Video Collection
While I was surfing on youtube, I found some pretty cool old Beastie Boys videos, two from the 80´s and a collection of 3 funny commercials for their "Hello Nasty" record. Have fun.

Miles Davis – Someday My Prince Will Come (Remastered)
Miles Davis interpreting the jazz standart "Someday My Prince Will Come", one of his most famous songs. Credited is "The Miles Davis Sextet", but only the title track is actually played by six musicians (John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb). This is the original (it includes 6 songs, the CD remaster version includes 8 songs (Blues No.2, Someday My Prince Will Come Alternate Take)), remastered in a better quality.
Count Basic – Moving In The Right Direction (1996)
Todays jazz day, another jazz record, this time from the austrian acid-jazz duo "Count Basic", this one is a mixture between acid-jazz and smooth jazz, the right sound for a good wine or some expensive chocolat.
You should know, this is the american cover, the european looks different.
Manhattan Jazz Orchestra – Swing Swing Swing (2006)
Grab your Martinis ladies and gentleman, it´s swing time.
With a quality of 220kbs it´s comin to your cocktail party.
The Manhattan Jazz Orchestra was formed in 1979 by famed Tokyo based record
producer Shigeyuki Kawashima and New York arranger extraordinaire Dave Matthews
as an expansion of the award winning Manhattan Jazz Quintet (MJQ).

I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions. I Have NEW DAY resolutions. Like thinking I should be able to write a blog entry in 15 minutes or less. AND continue on the 1000 word a day novel writing. Deadline January 31.
So, my house is quiet again. Company gone, sick kid back in school, dogs asleep. Except for the sound from the laundry room, and the ticking clock on my desk, things are back to normal.
it was a good two weeks of stress. I am broke but happy and have some more memories and good stories. This is my dad trying to pick Dick Clark's nose.
The next day I let this same man drive my 2008 3.2 Audi TT quattro. But I DIDN'T let the 16 year old nephew. Instead I took him and my son to indoor laser tag and let them all run around the yard with silly string.
We went through a few hundred bucks worth of wine and beer and champagne, and no one died from my cooking ( all meals should take 30 minutes or less, right?) also, no family fights broke out and I am already making plans to travel to NY and see them again soon... thinking of AMTRAK instead of airlines though. Something about the sleeper car intrigues me.. and yes, sadly, it will be nothing like the European railcars I so love.
Also, beginning the search for a family vacation spot this year. Any suggestions?

This makes me worried… but unfortunately doesn't totally surprise me.
The results of a poll commissioned by AOL and conducted by Zogby, are showing a staggeringly low-level of knowledge about politics and government but startlingly high-levels of knowledge for anything pop-culture related.
The results showed that more Americans could name the members of the Three Stooges than can name the three branches of government with 73% knowing Larry, Moe & Curly and only 42% knowing executive, judicial and legislative.
Within this same group, 77% percent could name 2 of Snow White's seven dwarfs but only 24% could name two Supreme Court justices.
Is it any wonder George W. Bush is president??

|Thousands listen to President Barack Obama's remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Obama lost the support of many bankers in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the passage of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law, which sought to shore up the financial system but also cost banks billions of dollars in annual profit.
The Democratic president has openly stated his distaste for "fat cat bankers" who "don't get it", and bankers fears more losses ahead if they cannot influence how the Dodd-Frank rules are implemented."He will continue to increase regulation, demonize and vilify businesses, and spend a lot of money, and tax people, and so forth," said Dick Kovacevich, a former Wells Fargo CEO and supporter of Republican challenger Romney. Wall Street firms are also worried about Elizabeth Warren, whose victory in the Massachusetts Senate race may galvanize her to push for more regulations on bank lending to protect consumers. Warren was instrumental in creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which critics say could weigh down the economy with new regulations.
"I think the Obama win, along with Elizabeth Warren, will lead to more accountability and tighter regulation on Wall Street," said Chris Tobe, who advises pension plans as a principal at Stable Value Consultants and is a trustee of the Kentucky state pension fund. "Especially after a big shift to Romney from Wall Street, Obama I believe will be less likely to hold back on regulation this term."
People working in the U.S. securities and investment industry gave $20 million to Romney's campaign, versus $6 million to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Four years ago, Obama received $16 million and Republican nominee John McCain only attracted $9 million."I voted for Obama in 2008 but obviously believed that Romney would be better able to handle the problems that we're confronting," said Scott Sperling, co-president of private equity firm Thomas H Lee Partners. "It is incumbent on us to work with the administration in a productive way to deal with these issues." Some banking industry lobbyists say their focus will be on the key regulators Obama is expected to name in his second term.
Among the financial industry's top complaints are the Volcker rule, which prevents banks from making big bets in financial markets with their own money, and the Durbin amendment, which limits the fees they can charge merchants for processing debit-card transactions.
Banks also want to scale back capital requirements, which cut into the returns banks can earn on their equity capital.
As key details of Dodd-Frank have yet to be ironed out, the banks need good relations with regulators to influence their interpretation of the rules.Chairmen often determine agendas at agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), so Obama's choices to fill any open spots could affect how quickly new rules are rolled out. ...

Building a better borough - together
Published: Monday 29th November 10
Council leader Edward Lister has set out a borough-wide agenda for transforming the way the council works with local residents and organisations on the big issues that affect people's life chances.
The main principles underpinning the challenge will be considered by councillors at a special meeting on December 6.
The approach seeks to engage the whole community in drawing up priorities for action over the next four years. This could include local initiatives to tackle worklessness, make neighbourhoods safer and improve the environment.
Cllr Lister said the coalition government's public sector reforms were offering councils an opportunity to develop new patterns of service provision that would respond directly to local issues:
"Now, more then ever, is the time to challenge ourselves by setting an even more ambitious agenda. It is a challenge in which we must engage councillors, staff, residents, local businesses - in fact partners of every kind including those in the public sector and voluntary sector.
"We share ministers' commitment to devolving powers and responsibilities away from the centre. This is a process of continuous devolution which goes beyond local authorities to communities and individuals. It maintains the central direction of this council's own policies which for many years have encouraged greater degrees of personal choice.
"We will be building this approach from the bottom up. It will be less about the council 'doing things' to its residents and more about freeing them to do or decide things for themselves - and helping them to make a difference.
"This programme will enable us to raise our sights above the immediate demands of today's difficult financial situation. If will be about demonstrating how the council can make a difference in every area of public life."
The report highlights the potential for new approaches in areas including schools, families, environment, health, social care, community safety, partnerships, voluntary sector and employment.
Cllr Lister's proposals for change will be debated at the finance and corporate resources overview and scrutiny committee on 6 December. If approved they will be launched for public consultation in the New Year.

Does this mean that businesses will be consulted too, and, if so, will they actually be listened to? My experience shows that in reality the council pays lip service only to a great many consultation exercises and then they do exactly what suits them later, and probably what they had been scheming up all along. There are too many cosy deals being done behind the facade of consultation.David Rosemont

No money to keep York Gardens library open but enough in the coffers to buy the Putney Hospital site for "educational purposes"? There is little sign of fairness in WBC's agenda as described by Cllr. Lister. I was at a Putney school's centenary celebrations this year. I could see many of the features (plumbing and electrics) that were there (but needed replacing) in the late 1960s when I taught there. Schools deprived of funding for repairs and building but WBC buying a site to offer to a "free school"? Where's equality of opportunity on Cllr. Lister's agenda?Celia Blair

I haven't thrown up since 2nd grade. But... after downing 1500 calories worth of strawberry Ensure and imagining the day I had ahead of me... that smell of 2000 flushes blue came flooding over me... thankfully my fathers upbringing overcame me as well... A four pack of Ensures runs you about $8 - way too expensive to throw up.
The janitor from the high school must have sensed some anxiety... He offered to pray over me before the race - I was hoping it wasn't a one time deal... Lord knows I was going to need a few more hours than that... Grand Columbian iron distance Tri... here i come.
I thought about my buddy Lew Hollander that morning. He was 79 years old when I found him trying to finish the Ironman 2 years ago. Struggling at 11pm with just one more hour to finish... to be considered an "ironman"
I joked and jogged with him... balling my eyes out when he crossed just 6 minutes before midnight. The next year we met up again for our "date" - this time an hour sooner (he had improved that much!) He was the reason I even considered doing this. I wanted to finish this race so that when I see him in Kona in a few weeks I can make good on our deal that I'd complete an ironman distance race too.
I told this story to the high school kids at a pep assembly in Grand Coulee the day before. Some 50 kids out of the 200 were volunteering and I wanted them to know how much we appreciated them handing out water and spending their day helping us finish this crazy race.
Headed into the water with my wave. Two loops of 1.2 miles. I love the swim. My favorite part.
200 yards in... I'm all wet and warm - and not by my own doing, if you know what I mean...
I started taking on water! ...my wetsuit had come unzipped and I was soaking wet within seconds. Luckily we had to exit at the beach, run across a timing mat and then do the loop again. Someone would help me get zipped back up on the beach... right?
Running out of the water I said "can someone help me?" Shockingly - no one moved. Two of my girlfriends from Iowa came up for the race from Seattle and heard me yell and ran down the hill to me. They put me back together and I ran back into the water. Now I was frantic. I put my head down and tried to make up time. Eagerly awaiting the moment where I would finally see feet in front of me I just kept at it. I sensed something nearby but it wasn't feet. It was a canoe, with a man who looked at me and said, "excuse me ma'am you're going the wrong way".
My right hand is stronger than my left and it's hard enough to swim in a straight line. Damnit. In my mind it was a better strategy to angle towards the buoy I was supposed to swim around rather than make a sharp right turn and then head north again. Canoe Man was probably getting quite a kick out of this... "you're still going the wrong way"... a few minutes later "nope - you gotta go more that way" he pointed.
I finally made it back on track and to the beach where my poor camera man was probably wondering why exactly he got assigned to the rookie...
Sopping wet I conveniently forgot to put a towel into my transition bag. I told you I'd forget something...
All our bikes were lined up together. I strolled past all the nice tribikes (supposed to help your average about 2 miles faster and hour)... I just had my regular old road bike with aero bars. The guys who did the first ever Ironmans did it on old school bikes so i figured if they could do it, I could do it on the bike I already sunk a grand into... bikes aren't cheap....
The first 56 miles were pretty hilly... thankfully it was at the beginning when you still think you're invincible... But the views were absolutely incredible. Remember the song... when we walked in fields of gold? I thought i'd seen it before... but it paled in comparison to the rolling golden fields that flanked that first half. Every 20 minutes I was supposed to be eating half of a GU packet. The thought behind it being, if you get behind on intaking calories, you're screwed. It's rather important that you not ever get to a point of being hungry or thirsty because at that point it's too late. Minor detail. I don't eat until I'm hungry and I don't drink until I'm thirsty...
Peter rode the bike course with me, reminding me to eat and drink. One time I got kind of mouthy and he said "Ann, you're being mean to me because you're blood sugar's low. You take a big swallow of that GU and talk to me in a couple of minutes" I hate when he's right :)
If you've ever had a GU packet you're probably very thankful for a product that can supply you with all the nutrients you need in one swallow... But 7 hours of GU (12 packets) is another story. Unfortunately, nothing else sounded good.
The side of the road looked good for my bowels on one occasion... but not for the other.
Had to detour into a small town on the route. Hartline, Wa. Population 134. Popped into a cafe that said it was "open". It wasn't going to be pretty and I'm not one of those hard core triathletes that was willing to sit in my own poo for the next 40 miles.They looked a little surprised when I walked in... I kind of forgot I was in day glo yellow...
I have all these nice shots because that poor camera man who got suckered into this was right alongside me riding backseat on a Harley... the whole ride. The town of Grand Coulee must have been pretty concerned with my abilities because the high school janitor who prayed over me earlier in the day also tagged along for the entire ride on his motorcycle too. God Bless 'em.
I finally turned the corner for the last 27 miles and almost lost my marbles. It was one of the most stunning views I'd ever seen. Sheer rock faces and a roaring river ran along side me and the Grand Coulee damn spanned as far as I could see. It helped that at some points I was hitting 27 miles an hour. Certainly a nice change up from the 9 mph I was averaging with a headwind a few miles back. Any sort of angst just melted away as the scenery took my breath away. I never knew this part of the country was so darn pretty.
Then it was time for the fun part, or so that's what everyone told me. My friends Mary and Margeaux came in from Seattle and planned to split the marathon with me. Well as Margeaux and I headed down by the Grand Coulee Dam (It is the largest electric power-producing facility in the United States[3] and one of the largest concrete structures in the world) They denied her access because she didn't have a wristband.
Luckily there was a nice woman from Montana who was a fast talker like me and the next thing we knew, 13.1 miles were down and we were back at transition. She needed some ibuprofen and I needed cake.
To celebrate Margeaux's birthday the next weekend I brought a cake and had it waiting in transition. We sang happy birthday to her and I tore a piece off... ready for a change up from all the GU. It was chocolate. They had talked someone into giving them wristbands and so loop 2 I enjoyed with some fellow Iowa Hawkeyes who filled me in on the big win earlier in the day... It was about time. It only takes one loss in college football...let's not get into that right now.
In the bottom of the canyon one aid station was making s'mores, another one had music pumping from their car. By nightfall everyone had been given flashlights or glow sticks and we looked like a bunch of ravers in the bottom of a canyon!
they always have these funny heat blankets that look like tinfoil.
For once... I actually got to be on the other side of the microphone at a finish line.
One of the tallest high school boys I'd ever seen handed me a cup full of warm chicken noodle soup and I headed over to strap up to my Pre-purchased IV. Probably the single greatest purchase of my life. $35 and 20 minutes later I was popping up off the cot and loading up my bike to go to bed. Well maybe "popping" isn't the right word, but I was moving.
Got home to the SunBanks Resort and Peter and the girls had made the post race meal I picked out the day before...
Red Baron pizza, ShockTop and Ibuprofen :) This was only because there wasn't a McDonalds in town... the next day I got the real reason I did a 140.6
The race director knocked on my door the next morning and said
"Ann you'd be proud, we had even more high school kids out volunteering than we originally thought."
I figured they wanted to witness the delirious blonde girl who "claimed" she could do this race.
"We thought they were getting tired around 11pm. The finish line was kind of thinning out. We saw some of them leaving with their flashlights... but then about 20 minutes later we saw all these flashlights bounding towards us... The kids had run out and started "adopting athletes, just like you told them"
I'm crying just writing this...
That day at the pep assembly I just hoped I wouldn't be so boring that they didn't listen, didn't care. I just wanted them to know that as insignificant as it may seem to hand a person water... that may be exactly what they need, but may not be able to show their appreciation. I had no idea they would hear every single word and take it to heart... I've met some pretty incredible people in my life. But now alongside Dean Kamen and Lew Hollander are the kids from Lake Roosevelt High School.
But who was I kidding... An entire pizza, a McDouble, 140.6 miles later, and the emotional roller coaster those kids sent me on... this is what I was really doing :)

Great story Ann! You deserve a title bigger than ironman. To do a full 140.6 without all the crowds cheering you on and on a course that difficult is a huge accomplishment. I only did the half and I can't even comprehend doing it twice. Way to go!!!! R. WagnerReplyDelete
Thanks for the kind words about our great kids and beautiful area. Come back anytime.ReplyDelete
AWESOME!!!! :)ReplyDelete

Hola everyone.
Hopefully you´re all doing great. Well...things are good down on this end of
the world. Here´s info from this week:
Little kids and people in general like to say English swear words sometimes.
I´ve heard them at the most random times. For instance, during the
sacrament. :D
There are stray dogs EVERYWHERE here. Seriously! It´s crazy. I'm working on
sending some pictures home of some of the dogs.
Chilenos talk really fast. I think I mentioned it last week but it´s still
true. I´m actually starting to understand though! Whoo. I understand a lot
more than the people think sometimes and also than my companion thinks. Ha
ha. All is well though. Everyone is obsessed with Mayonaise. I don´t know
why, it´s not THAT good...
Anyway...this week I´ve learned a lot. Definitely more than I can fit in
this email, but to sum it up, this work is real! The church is true. We have
the answers to questions of life and religion that people are searching for.
That´s our job. To find those people and teach them the truth. It´s hard
sometimes here. Me and my companion are the only two in our house...in our
little town of Labranza. It´s hard when I want to express myself, but I
just...simply....CAN´T! Because my companion doesn´t speak English. And I
don´t speak enough Spanish yet. Through all of this struggle, however, the
best times are when we are teaching people the restored gospel! A lot of
people know about the bible thoroughly, and they have strong beliefs. I
love it when they do though, because they are searching for truth. And
that´s why we´re here. To bring them the parts that they are missing! The
more we are talking to people and teaching people, the more comfortable I
feel here! So I try to do that as often as I can!
Sorry this is so short! But maybe that´s good for you all so you don´t have
to read so much!
I love you all,
Elder Gomez

This report has put forth that the positive benefits of cycling (e.g., increased physical activity, impact on mortality and chronic disease, reduction in carbon emissions from motorized transportation) far outweigh the risks (e.g., crash injury risk to cyclists, health reduction from breathing in polluted air in an urban environment).

compose the frame of the world - have not any subsistence without a mind.

Hellboy II The Golden Army costume, mask and prop display...
If you're a fan of Mike Mignola's comic book creation, 'Hellboy', then you'll love this tribute to Guillermo del Toro's movie sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, on display at Universal Studios in Florida.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army movie exhibit
at Universal Studios Orlando
Included amongst the movie memorabilia was all sorts of make-up prosthetics, masks, animatronics, concept artwork, plus original costumes and props used in the filming of the fantastical movie.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army movie poster
Mike Mignola's unconventional comic book hero is a red-skinned demon, with a tail, horns (which he files off to appear more 'normal', leaving his signature circular stumps), and an over-sized right 'Hand of Doom', made of stone. He works for the United States Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.) and in the movie adaptation, the gruff demon is portrayed by Ron Perlman.
Hellboy prosthetic mask
This is the face of Hellboy, as worn by Ron Perlman and his stunt doubles in the movie. Lots of latex in the form of prosthetic attachments are used to create the look of the surly, red demon
Hellboy prosthetic make-up
The make-up in the 2008 movie was so good that it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Achievement in Make-up for Mike Elizalde and Thomas Floutz. Sadly it didn't win the Academy Award, but it did garner lots of other sci-fi, horror and fantasy genre awards.
Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom Glove
In addition to Hellboy's facial prosthetics, they also had his big stone hand on display, plus an animatronic tail used in the movie.
Hellboy's animatronic tail
Next is Hellboy's trademark trenchcoat, which appears to be one of his stunt doubles as the label says 'Max', so possibly it was worn by Canadian Max White who doubled for Ron Perlman in the movie.
Hellboy trenchcoat costume
The exhibit also had Hellboy's gun and holster on display. If you like these, you can also see Hellboy's 'Big Baby' gun prop here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props which was previously on display at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Original Hellboy II: The Golden Army gun and holster props
Hellboy's world is populated with weird and wonderful mystical creatures including the 'Elf King Balor's' royal guard. This is the creature mask worn by one of guards, who fights and is defeated by 'Prince Nuada'.

Endemol comes to Middle East, will Big Brother return to the Arab TV?
Endemol International has unveiled plans to set up a new company in the Middle East, to be headed up by managing director Ziad Kebbi and creative director Dany Karam.
Scheduled to officially open for business this month, Endemol Middle East will be based in Dubai with a branch office in Beirut.
Endemol Middle East will produce all Endemol formats in the region and has already secured its first commissions from broadcaster LBC.
There are several Endemol shows playing across the Middle East, including top formats such as Star Academy and Deal or No Deal.
In 2004, Arab Big Brother (locally known as al-Rais or "The Boss") was played based in Bahrain, but in less than a month of public airing, the show was suspended. The decision had been made "so as not to expose the network to any accusations that it is offending the virtues and traditions of the Arab world".
A 1,000 people protested against the show because Islam has strong values which say boys and girls should not mix together.
The Arab version of Big Brother, put 12 housemates - six men and six women - from around the Arab world in a purpose-built house on Amwaj Island in Bahrain.
For the first time since the show's inception, men and women were barred from each other's sleeping quarters.
There was also a prayer room, a separate women's lounge and a mixed-sex communal area.
But these modifications to reflect Arabic customs did not go far enough for some protesters.
In their culture, it is normal for males and females to mix, but not to put them together in the same house for a long time.
i received an invitation from The Artist League for Culture and the Arts (ALCA) to watch their show at the Liwasang Bonifacio Phil. Embassy Riyadh tomorrow. The title?? "Joseph the Dreamer... (with sub-title- What really happened to Joseph?" (lol!)

The world of benefits administration and technology is evolving rapidly and in the midst of a lot of noise and rumbling such as mergers, acquisitions, shifting healthcare economics and changing regulatory burdens. It's like a big pinball machine with all of those realities bouncing off of each other, with each one altering the course of the game in its own way.
With all of that noise comes a lot of confusion. And intentionally or otherwise, amid all of that noise and confusion, a lot of information — a lot of truth — is failing to get through. Or at least it's not getting through clearly.
It's time to take a step back, simplify things, and see the situation more clearly. In this webinar we discuss the changing benefits administration landscape, those questions that make you "hmmmmmm" and you can avoid falling into a benefits administration trap in 2016.
Listen to insights on 2016 benefits trends from Rhonda Marcucci, Jen Daniel, and Sue Boland-Harter in our latest webinar with Business Insurance.

This is not our bridge!ReplyDelete

It's someone's bridge and they are not doing their job. This could make the cracks in the bridge much worse, the longer the weeds are growing.ReplyDelete

It sure looked like OUR bridge when the new lights went on, but when the weeds are overgrown it's not our bridge!ReplyDelete

If everyone who walked or jogged across the bridge pulled one weed, the problem would be solved in a day. I guess it's just easier to take pictures and complain.ReplyDelete

wondering when the last time this bridge has been inspected for the crumbling and deteriorating concrete. safety 101?ReplyDelete

Do you think walkers and joggers carry gloves to be pulling weeds. Complain complain complain MORE!!!!! It's not their job. Someone is being paid to maintain the bridge, when they do MY job I'll do their's.ReplyDelete

Make a correction please Columbia Spy!!! Apparently the bridge is to be maintained by random passerbys. Penn Dot approved? Should save money.ReplyDelete

Post a sign: Toll bridge: Each walker or jogger must pull one weed in order to cross. Those actually being paid to do this may now take a break.ReplyDelete

Is this the entire justification for the "switch current to new buffer" mechanism or are there any additional benefits? SQL> startupORACLE instance started. each GRANULE contains aan array of BUFFER HEADERS and also array of Buffers separately 3.To avoid the contention, heavy traffic ..

Parent latches are allocated statistically.

It's a long post that i'll not paste here. Your observation about the relationship between those two parameters is an interesting insight into how convoluted the mechanisms may be. The hash table is the core memory structure of the cache buffers chains - each chain is based on a single hash bucket in the hash table. Apparently, library cache latch is defined as a latch set.Q: What is library cache ?A: The primary function of the library cache is to store shared cursors together with their parse
On the plus side I only see that other sessions that need a CR copy with a target SCN prior to the modification can access the old buffer, rather than having opiodr()+2496 PTR_CALL 00000000 31 ? 2 ? Comment by Jonathan Lewis -- January 28, 2013 @ 6:33 pm BST Jan 28,2013 | Reply Hello Jonathan, Thank you for your reply. I presume that it would still point to somewhere in the "first tier" of buffer cache, i.e.

Where does the COLD_HD pointer point to in this scenario? The number of next slot reaches to 255.

Solution1. This would however violate the claim "every buffer header would be on one of the lines". You're now being signed in.
The big table is to fill up the buffer_cache; capture the statisitcs for tablescan on T, sleep 3 seconds between table scan on table T, see if the TCH incremented. It is just a simple error (which I've now added to the Errata) in the Note at the top of page 107. So, disable this fix is another workaround. kglfall()+560 CALL kghfrh() 6 ? 2FC9DAC ? 4000000 ? 7C00 ? 7FFF ? 2FDB030 ?

With all the linked lists linking the buffer headers, there will be many times when different elements from the buffer header array will be accessed consecutively. had been using all those hidden parameters to adjust the rate at which blocks were allowed to drop off the cache, and there are version dependencies that make a difference.
