Quackwacker, you could turn out to be right about people supporting Cathy.
What might turn out to be more important, though, is that the general public has gotten a glimpse of the "character" of these politicians ... "If you disagree with me, I'll find a way to punish you." That is a very scary message to hear from someone to whom you have given a lot of power over your govt. It is counter to the very basis of what this nation was founded upon.
Emanuel could better spend his time trying to figure out how to solve Chicago's problems with crime and decay, rather than directing his attention to quashing legitimate business licenses.
I understand that Rahm is trying to tell people how his statements were misunderstood.

So, your teen is on MySpace or Facebook and you are, too. Before you "friend" your kid, keep some basic rules in mind:
Don't make comments about everything you see-and believe me, you'll see a lot. Bad language. Suggestive photo poses. Links to crude humor. It can be hard to keep your mouth shut. But try. If the bad language and links are coming from your child, by all means call them out on it. But do it face to face and in private; never post a reprimand on their Facebook. Remind them that what they post can hurt them if they're not careful.
By the time you're ready to cut the digital apron strings, you'll have a good vibe for how your teen is socializing online. And she'll know you understand, too. Your reminders and interest will let her know that even if you aren't a friend on Facebook, you're a supportive force at home if she needs your help.
Social media is a part of life-and parenting-today. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Valerie O'Connor initially joined Facebook to find grade school friends for an upcoming reunion. Now the stay-at-home mom of two from Clarendon Hills logs onto the site about three times a day. "I use it to share pictures of my kids with family and friends, to reconnect with lost friends and to keep in closer contact with my good friends," says O'Connor. "It helps me feel more connected to those I can't speak with regularly."
What about you? Whether you're just getting the hang of Facebook or have your own Twitter account, chances are you're using some kind of social media. That's part of life-and parenting-today.
"Social media is just the new way that parents can connect socially, the new way that they share and the new way that they communicate," says technology and parenting expert Sharon Cindrich, author of A Smart Girl's Guide to the Internet (American Girl Publishing, 2009). "It's not that different from the socializing we're used to in real life but it allows us a farther reach and anytime connections-and more opportunities to connect. For example, in the past, you wouldn't connect with your high school folks but now you will because you see them on Facebook."
Whether you work outside the home or not, social media provides additional benefits to parents of all stripes. "Where we used to connect over the backyard fences, the social dynamic has changed," says Cindrich. "More parents are working or working different hours and it's harder to just walk out your door and find groups of parents you can hang with or ask a question."
Say you're a single parent, or an adoptive parent or a parent raising a child with a health issue or learning disability. Social media gives you multiple opportunities to connect and exchange info with parents dealing with similar issues. Ask a question, and you'll be amazed at what you can learn from your online friends.
O'Connor says she's gotten great craft ideas, menu tips and medical advice from friends online. "In fact, a couple of weeks ago, my son was very sick-puking and not able to keep any fluids down at all. So in my status update I asked if something was going around and how to get him to take fluids," she says. "By the end of the day I knew that a stomach bug was circulating, how long it would last and what worked for my friends' kids."
If you only use social media for work purposes (such as using Linked In for career networking), it may not impact your role as a parent. But for most moms and dads, the time you spend online may impact your kids-whether you realize it or not.
"The way you use social media, the time you spend doing it, the photos you pick, your status updates and posts-your kids are picking up on that and absorbing it," says Cindrich. "So, for example, if you're making fun of someone's post or photo, that's a behavior they're going to note and possibly repeat."
It's not only your attitude toward social media but the way you use it that affects you and your kids. That's why it's important to be aware of your "digital image," says Cindrich. "You have to be thoughtful when you're choosing what you're putting online and think about how that's going to impact your family."
In other words, posting about your wild night at your high school reunion probably isn't a wise idea, nor is bashing your husband because he forgot to pick up your daughter from her play date.
Still, social media lets people stay connected more easily than ever before.
Andrea Cummings, a customer service representative, says she enjoys the games on MySpace and Facebook but also uses the sites to keep up with friends, family and former classmates. "I admit I check it at least once a day if I can," says Cummings, mother of one who lives in Lynwood. "I use it to keep in touch. And I love to see and share all the precious moments … that I cannot be there for."
So what's the right approach to social media? It all depends on you. "There are absolutely no rules," says Cindrich. "Some people only use it for their private lives, some use it only for their work lives and some do both."
The amount and types of posts you make will also depend on you. Take today. On Facebook's News Feed this morning, I saw friends post about their kids' latest milestones, current work projects and relocation plans. I read posts asking for advice and sharing new photos. I learned what was going on in the world and reconnected with friends-without even leaving my chair.
But that's one of the drawbacks of Facebook and its ilk. If you're obsessed with rescuing lost farm animals online or mastering Mafia Wars (an addictive online game) but haven't seen an IRL ("in real life") friend in days, it may be time to step away from the keyboard-at least for now. "It's really important to strike a balance," says Cindrich. "Personal social interaction-whether over the phone or meeting face-to-face-is important for your relationships and happiness."
Stay-at-home mom O'Connor considers her Facebook time "a little sanity break."
"It's a balancing act, though. It's easy to spend a lot more time than I should on Facebook," she says. "A drawback to Facebook in general is that by knowing what people are up to on a daily basis, we're less inclined to call each other or use other means to see how people are. It's a lot easier to post a happy birthday message on someone's wall rather than call them and say happy birthday, which I think is kind of sad."
But it's clear that social networking is here to stay-and can facilitate and build IRL relationships as well. "We used to think of social networking as the online or not quite 'real life' experience but it is," says Cindrich. "It's a regular way of communicating. It's a very natural and normal evolution of our social interaction and it's important to embrace it to a certain extent and take advantage of the opportunities that are there."
Despite the drawbacks to Facebook, O'Connor agrees. A relative newcomer to the Chicago area, she admits it's been hard to make new close friends locally. "Additionally, I am a stay-at-home mom and as a result feel a bit isolated at times-lonely occasionally," she says. "Facebook allows me (in a very small way) to feel less alone. Plus I've been able to reconnect with people who were just acquaintances in high school, but because of common ground now (being moms, etc.) we've become friends-in an actual way, not a Facebook way."

With Rick, I think the culture just lags behind great artists much of the time, and it takes time for it to catch up.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we log off Twitter for just a day so all the facts can catch up with the rumors?
These types of problems do tend to catch up with presidents.
I catch up with Kent again as he takes a breather from the tour, back at his flat in St John's Wood, North-West London.
She used her time off work to run errands and catch up with friends.
We know that death is ever marching behind us but we never name the day when he will catch up.
He seems to have tried to catch up with us fellows of his age, and he began to plunge.
But, if I were in your place, I would make no attempt to catch up with the classes this term.
It flashes upon him that even now by running he can catch up with the other fellows.
But it was impossible to catch up with him, and pretty soon he disappeared in a cloud of dust.
c.1200, "to take, capture," from Anglo-French or Old North French cachier "catch, capture" (animals) (Old French chacier "hunt, pursue, drive (animals)," Modern French chasser "to hunt;" making it a doublet of chase (v.)), from Vulgar Latin *captiare "try to seize, chase" (also source of Spanish cazar, Italian cacciare), from Latin captare "to take, hold," frequentative of Latin capere "to take, hold" (see capable).
Senses in early Middle English also included "chase, hunt," which later went with chase (v.). Of infections from 1540s; of fire from 1734; of sleep, etc., from early 14c. Related: Catched (obsolete); catching; caught.
Meaning "act as a catcher in baseball" recorded from 1865. To catch on "apprehend" is 1884, American English colloquial. To catch (someone's) eye is first attested 1813, in Jane Austen. Catch as catch can first attested late 14c.
late 14c., "device to hold a latch of a door," also "a trap;" also "a fishing vessel," from catch (v.). Meaning "action of catching" attested from 1570s. Meaning "that which is caught or worth catching" (later especially of spouses) is from 1590s. Sense of "hidden cost, qualification, etc." is slang first recorded 1855 in P.T. Barnum.

Christian Responses to the SABThere are several web sites that have responded to the SAB. The ones that I know about are listed below. Please let me know if there are any that I have overlooked. [I am especially interested in responses from Christians on the Cruelty and Violence list. These verses show that the Bible could not have been inspired by a kind and loving God. They are the ones that are most likely to challenge the faith of those who believe in (or who pretend to believe in) the Bible but have never read it.

Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Lionel Nelson was born in November 1912, moved to the United States and volunteered for the Air Force in 1944. He served as a stateside chaplain throughout World War II, officiating marriages and funerals, and remained in the service until 1948. Nelson reentered civilian life as a pastor at the First Methodist Church of Oviedo in Florida. Now 100 and a widower, Nelson continues to minister at Sunnyside Manor, the assisted-living facility in Sarasota, where he lives.
'I was a minister, and I was a little bit older than most of the men who were going into World War II. About eight or nine of the men who I worked with went into the military during the war, so I decided to join them. About half of them didn't come back, I found out later.
I remember being so proud in my uniform. Soldiers were everywhere, coming back from overseas and shipping out, and one of the things I did was I tried to help them reorient themselves back into civilian life. It's never easy. Being in uniform was a rigid, demanding and satisfying dedication, and the men mostly felt that during the war years, I think.
I married a lot of people and officiated a lot of funerals. I went to Washington, D.C., many times for meetings with the chaplaincy. I knew all of the top men in Washington and was friendly with them, and I was a captain at the time.
There was a time when I was stationed in San Francisco, Calif., and my job was to meet the dignitaries who were coming in, but I had strange assignments sometimes. When the dignitaries went into our headquarters building, I had to make sure the military men were in perfect dress with all of their buttons buttoned. I had to give them a quick inspection and make sure everything was running smoothly. That was just one thing I did. I remember doing some military funerals that were pretty ornate. I remember doing one service in Alaska on a very frozen hill.
I also worked a good bit with incoming ships from the Aleutian Islands. We saw quite a bit of traffic with ships coming in and unloading supplies. One time, a big freighter came into the station and it was its last trip and the ship was going into storage in the shipyard for repair.
The sailors had a lot of materials, such as communion wine and other communion elements, and they gave them to us so they didn't have to destroy or leave them. A man with a superior rank on the ship saw me taking supplies off the ship and into the chapel and wasn't sure what to think at first, but he finally said to just accept it as a great gift as they were taking the ship to dry dock.
After 1948, I continued my church work in Oviedo. I married lots of beautiful, young people.
I did quite a number of funerals, too. Even now, I help with communion whenever I have a chance and I speak every now and then. I have loved every minute of this work.'"

Show Detailed Description
Promising result of intra-arrest cooling on neurological intact survival in cardiac arrest patients has recently been published in the PRINCE-study in Circulation 2010.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether prehospital intra-nasal cooling initiated during resuscitation, in addition to systemic cooling at hospital, increases neurological intact survival measured as cerebral performance category score (CPC-score)at 90 days in witnessed cardiac arrests outside hospital.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest |
Device: Prehospital intra-nasal cooling with RhinoChill |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: No masking Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | PRINCESS - Prehospital Resuscitation Intra Nasal Cooling Effectiveness Survival Study |
Resource links provided by NLM:
Further study details as provided by Karolinska Institutet:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Neurologically intact survival (CPC-cerebral performance categories scale 1-2) [ Time Frame: 90 days after cardiac arrest ]
The Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) are used to describe neurological outcome. A CPC of 1 or 2 is considered "neurologically intact."
- - Good cerebral performance: little to no deficit.
- - Moderate cerebral disability: capable of independent activities of daily life
- - Severe cerebral disability: conscious, but dependent on others for daily support
- - Coma or vegetative state
- - Death or brain death
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Total survival [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Proportion of patients achieving Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC). [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
- Time to target temperature of 32-34º Celsius [ Time Frame: 8-10 hours ]
- Admitted alive to hospital [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]Proportion of patients that are admitted alive to hospital
Estimated Enrollment: | 900 |
Study Start Date: | June 2010 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 31, 2017 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 31, 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
No Intervention: Control
Patients in the control group standard advanced cardiac life support care. Patients that achieve return of spontaneous circulation will be treated with hypothermia according to current guidelines upon arrival at the intensive care unit.
Experimental: Intervention
Intra-arrest trans-nasal cooling with RhinoChill will be initiated during advanced cardiac life support. In patients achieving return of spontaneous circulation, trans-nasal cooling will continue until systemic cooling is started at the intensive care unit.
Device: Prehospital intra-nasal cooling with RhinoChill
Patients in the intervention group will receive prehospital intra-nasal cooling with RhinoChill as soon as possible during the resuscitation (i.e. intra-arrest). Intra-nasal cooling will be ongoing until systemic hypothermia is started at the intensive care unit.

W.Va. water tests encouraging after chemical spill
DRY BRANCH, W.Va. - West Virginia Gov. Earl Tomblin says water tests are encouraging after a chemical spill tainted the supply, but people are still being told not to drink or bath in the water.
Tomblin did not give a timetable Sunday for when people might be able to use the water again. But Maj. Gen. James Hoyer, of the West Virginia National Guard, did say that testing near the water treatment facility has consistently been below 1 part per million.
That's a key step officials needed so that they can begin the next step of flushing the system.
About 300,000 people were told Thursday not to use the water after a chemical leaked from a plant into the Elk River and tainted the water supply.

We need this thread to serve as a warning to all to not order anything from RCM Plans. But it is too easy for such a thread to turn into a flame fest and has required frequent moderating.
And let's face facts. Each new report at this point is just another swing of the whip against a long dead horse. As a result I'm going to lock and sticky this thread to act as a warning to all but one which doesn't require constant monitoring to become just a place for venting.
To those which got caught and feel the need to tell someone take heart that you're not the first to be caught by this issue. Please accept it and move on. Nothing will be gained by adding another tale to those already posted at this point.
At this point it is clear.
Hopefully we'll see this condition change soon and RCM Plans will pass on to some new operator that takes the idea of integrity seriously and we can again buy these plans in good faith. Until that time this thread will stay stickied as a warning.
Edited by BMatthews on Feb 12, 2014 to add the warning above.

Does anyone know if the RCM plans service is still open and has anyone ordered anything from them lately? They have so many good plans I hope they are able to keep it going after the demise of RCM

There was a problem, though: Whenever I tried to use it, it just gave me the error "Invalid connector". The unit didn't come with a manual, so I was stumped as to what exactly this error meant.
Searching for the manual online didn't yield anything besides a few old forum posts with broken links. The manufacturer, Pharmacia, had since been bought be Amersham, which in turn had been bought by GE Healthcare. It seemed like a long shot, but I rang up the GE Healthcare customer support and asked for the manual. They were amazingly helpful and sent me a PDF.
Armed with the manual, I learned that the error I was getting was connected to one of the many safety precautions that were built into the device.
First off, the unit has four power outlets. All four need to be plugged in with something, either a power cord or a dummy connector - otherwise, the unit won't output anything.
I eventually came across the three dummies that came with the device while moving. I thought that might fix the problem, but the device still gave me the same error.
Reading the manual further revealed that the device's safety measures include what the manual calls coded sleeves - specific pieces of plastic that are slid over the dummies and power plugs. In a dummy, they don't do much except be there, but for the power cord, they code for the voltage which the cord is rated for - 500V, 1000V, and 3500V, respectively.
And it turned out that this coded sleeve was missing for the power cord.
So in a leasurely Sunday afternoon session, mltn and I set about reproducing the missing sleeve. mltn attacked one of the sleeves with a slide ruler and rebuilt it in openSCAD. We then printed the thing on an Ultimaker at the Raumfahrtagentur, and - lo and behold - it fit and worked on the first try.
Well, almost. Since the recognition of the sleeves employs light sensors, and there happened to be transparent filament in the Ultimaker when we printed, we had to paint the printed sleeve with a black marker.
I hooked up a multimeter to the Multidrive and confirmed that it was really putting out the set voltage. Which is particularly satisfying as a search for replacement parts for this unit yielded - unsurprisingly - nothing.
We only made the lowest, 500V version of the coded sleeve since I was unsure what the cable and connector that came with the unit had been rated for, but it's nevertheless satisfying to turn a non-operational device into a pretty nifty gel electrophoresis power supply with a bit of 3D printing.
Granted, it would have been possible to make this work with a few well cut-out pieces of cardboard or acrylic, but somehow, making an actual sleeve seemed a little more robust.
Anyway, here's the quick-and-dirty OpenSCAD code for the sleeve:
$fn=100; //main difference () { hull() { translate([14,0,0]) cylinder(r=7.5, h=31); cylinder(r=7.5,h=31); } hull() { translate([14,0,0]) cylinder(r=7, h=31); cylinder(r=7,h=31); } translate([7,-8.5,8]) rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=1, h=5, $fn=100); translate([7,-8.5,27.5]) rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=1, h=5, $fn=100); } ; //side difference () { translate([21,-0.6,0]) cube([10.5,1.1,33.5]); hull() { translate([23,-0.7,6.25]) rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=1.75, h=1.2, $fn=100); translate([24,-0.6,4.5]) cube([8,1.2,3.5]); } hull() { translate([23,-0.7,13.85]) rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=1.75, h=1.2, $fn=100); translate([24,-0.6,12.1]) cube([8,1.2,3.5]); } hull() { translate([23,-0.7,21.75]) rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=1.75, h=1.2, $fn=100); translate([24,-0.6,20]) cube([8,1.5,3.5]); } hull() { translate([24,-0.6,28]) cube([8,1.2,6]); } minkowski() { translate([19,-0.6,31.5])rotate(270, [1,0,0]) cylinder(r=0.5, h=0.6, $fn=100); cube([3,0.5,3]); } } translate([32,0,0]) cylinder(r=1, h=28);

I strongly recommend against making Exchange 2000 a domain controller or a Global Catalog server. There are several reasons for this. First, both Exchange 2000 and Active Directory are resource-intensive applications. Indeed, the server may very well overwhelm itself with lookups and other requests while providing both functions. Second, it seriously complicates recovery in the event of failure or disaster. Not only would you need to recover Exchange, but you would also need to recover Active Directory, as well.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) will speak at President Obama's two campaign fundraisers in San Francisco on Wednesday night, a Democratic official said.
The events are Obama's first fundraisers for the DCCC for the 2014 election cycle; the president has 14 events planned this year to help raise money for Democrats.
The first event is at the home of Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor. A hedge fund billionaire, Steyer has recently and controversially waded into the Democratic primary for Massachusetts' open Senate seat, attacking Rep. Stephen Lynch. The second event is at the home of Ann and Gordon Getty.
Campaign finance watchdogs have criticized Obama for his frenetic fundraising and super PAC support, saying the president became part of a problem he promised to fix.

On January 24 at 9:00 pm, Kim Jaebong, the DPRK Deputy Foreign Minister, summoned the chiefs of all diplomatic missions from socialist countries accredited to Pyongyang and the representative of the National Liberation Front (NLF) from South Vietnam to the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform them of the capture of the American military ship USS Pueblo weighing 1000 tons by the North Korean coastguard after [the ship] ventured deep into North Korean waters. The Deputy Foreign Minister explained that the ship was observed at a distance of 10 miles away from the coast and was captured after it advanced up to 7.6 miles away from the coast in the waters of the bay formed by the Hodo Peninsula and the Yeodo Island. Kim Jaebong informed the diplomats that the ship was meant exclusively for intelligence gathering (focusing in this case on the military bases on the coast), having, at the same time, a great quantity of arms on board. The crew numbered 83 people, of whom six were officers, 75 were sailors, and two were civilian technicians. One member of the crew died following fire exchanges, which resulted from the crew resisting measures undertaken by the North Korean military; three people were injured, one of whom was gravely injured. Judging this provocative act directed at gathering intelligence as the most outrageous one [committed by the United States] since signing the Armistice [in 1953], the Deputy Foreign Minister asked the chiefs of diplomatic missions to report back to their governments on this new and serious provocative action undertaken by the American imperialists and expressed his conviction that the governments [of socialist countries] would take the appropriate actions and vehemently condemn these pirate-like acts. He laconically added that it was likely for the situation to become worse because the American imperialists had already deployed an important unit from the Seventh Fleet to the seas neighboring the DPRK. Answering the questions of certain ambassadors, Kim Jaebong declared that although the DPRK had not publicly announced the width of its territorial waters, he said, for the personal use of those present, that the DPRK had a territorial waters width of 12 miles. He added that his government was going to release a declaration on this matter. Judging from the sources of the Czechoslovak Embassy, which was promptly informed by its delegation in the Armistice Commission, we know that the USS Pueblo was captured by the North Korean coastguard when it was 16 miles away from the DPRK shore, while press agencies stated that the ship had been 25 miles away from the shore when it was captured. We believe that, owing to the uncertainty around the conditions in which the incident took place, it is not advisable for us to take any particular measures. Nevertheless, we suggest that our press organs publish the news issued by the Korean Central News Agency, quoting the sources it uses, as well as inserting a line about the forthcoming declaration of the North Korean government. Signed: N. Popa.

Hi from Ohio!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hi from Ohio!
Welcome from Adrian, MI ~ when you received your Brother machine did it come with the manual? If not sometimes you can find them on the internet
Welcome from Michigan!
Welcome, Renna, from Oklahoma. This is an amazing place to learn from the best. These quilters are always eager to help. I think you will enjoy it.
It did come with a manual. Being a visual learner, I don't learn so well by reading; I learn by seeing. I have figured out quite a bit more about the machine, though, since posting my introduction. Playing around with it revealed a lot to me. I've not tried the embroidery features yet. I wanted to learn the simple sewing features first, which I did, finally, last night.
Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I feel the love!
Welcome from Louisiana
Hi Renna, welcome to the board from NE Ohio.
Hello Renna, and Welcome to the QB from North Carolina. You're going to LOVE it here
Happiness is a form of travel...not a destination.
Thank you, ladies.


text: You may not remember Ryder Murphy, or know that he has ever served you at Mangia Italiano. Maybe all you have is some vague recollection of last Friday night, one that involved double-fisting cans of Schlitz while dirty dancing to John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" with a total stranger (even though you hate jazz). Maybe you don't remember ever being at Mangia Italiano or maybe you have a problem. But maybe just maybe you vaguely remember the bartender being a really nice dude and foggily recollect that last Jack-and-Coke you didn't really need being mixed just right. So on Fridays, call up your buddy who was nice enough to drive your befuddled butt home on the Coltrane night and ask how to get back to South Grand. Ryder will greet you with a modest smile, engage you in casual yet concerned conversation, and quite possibly call you by name. And then he'll make you your favorite drink because he already knows what it is. Even if you don't remember telling him.

U.S. Const. amend. XIV |
Godinez v. Moran, 509 U.S. 389 (1993), was a landmark decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that if a defendant was competent to stand trial, they were automatically competent to plead guilty, and thereby waive the panoply of trial rights, including the right to counsel.[1][2]
On August 2, 1984, Richard Allan Moran entered the Red Pearl Saloon in Carson City, Nevada and shot the bartender and a customer before robbing the cash register. Nine days later he shot his ex-wife and then himself, and also unsuccessfully tried to slit his wrists. On August 13 Moran summoned the police to his hospital bedside and confessed to the killings.
He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, but pleaded not guilty. Two court-ordered psychiatrists concluded that he was competent to stand trial, although both noted he was depressed.[3]
The prosecution sought the death penalty. Two months after the psychiatric evaluations, Moran stated to the court that he wished to discharge his attorneys and change his plea to guilty. He also waived his right to counsel. After his trial he was sentenced to death. Moran then sought state post conviction relief on the grounds that he was mentally incompetent to represent himself. The trial court held an evidentiary hearing and then it rejected his claim.[2]
Moran's appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court was dismissed and a Federal District Court denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. However, the Court of Appeals reversed this decision, concluding that due process required the trial court to hold a hearing to "evaluate and determine" Moran's competency before accepting his decisions to waive counsel and plead guilty. It also held that the trial court erred by using the wrong legal standard. It stated that competency to waive constitutional rights requires a higher level of mental functioning than the level of mental functioning required to stand trial. They reasoned that competence to stand trial requires only that the defendant have a rational and factual understanding of the proceedings and is capable of assisting his counsel, while competence to waive counsel or plead guilty requires that the defendant has the capacity for reasoned choice among those choices available.[2]
Moran petitioned the Supreme Court on a writ of certiorari.
In a split decision (7–2), the Court found that competency to stand trial and competency to plead guilty were equivalent competencies. In other words, if a person was found competent for one, the person was automatically competent for the second. Further, the court held that a person who is competent to stand trial is also competent to waive an attorney and proceed pro se. The court held that it was irrelevant if the individual represented himself inadequately.[3]
As Justice Kennedy stated in his concurring opinion: "At common law, therefore, no attempt was made to apply different competency standards to different stages of criminal proceedings or to the variety of decisions that a defendant [509 U.S. 389, 407] must make during the course of those proceedings."[2] Further, the Due Process Clause "does not mandate different standards of competency at various stages of or for different decisions made during the criminal proceedings."[4]
The court appears to be moving toward a single standard of competency to be applied throughout criminal proceedings. The court finds nothing in case law to the contrary. "[S]etting out varying competency standards for each decision and stage of a criminal proceeding would disrupt the orderly course of trial and, from the standpoint of all parties, prove unworkable both at trial and on appellate review."[4]
As Justice Kennedy notes, this holding in Godinez v. Moran may seem harsh in equating all competencies as essentially equal. However, there are limitations noted in a careful reading of the decision. One is that the Court emphasized that competence to waive legal counsel alone does not make a waiver of counsel valid. The trial judge must determine if the waiver is "voluntary" and "intelligent".[5]
Further, in a decision, McKaskle v. Wiggins, the Court held that even if the defendant successfully waives counsel, the court can provide a "standby counsel" if the pro se defendant has actual control over the presentation of the case to the jury, and the jury retains the belief the defendant is in charge of his own case.[3]
Implications for evaluation[edit]
Following this decision, a forensic clinician conducting a competency evaluation for competency to stand trial, should also include an evaluation of competency to waive counsel.[3]

Crisis Management Guide

By now, the majority of meeting planners recognize the reality: mobile apps are a must for today's meetings. Millennials and Baby Boomers alike are joining the mobile revolution. They're powering up smartphones and tablets, and they expect a smooth mobile experience throughout every minute of the meeting.
"No event organizer can afford to overlook the trend happening with mobile devices," Jason Paganessi, VP, Business Innovation, PCMA, says.
As mobile adoption continues to accelerate, something very important is going to accelerate, too: the ability to make money from mobile technology.
SEE ALSO: How to Take Your Meeting Mobile
A new white paper from ACTIVE Network offers a look at where mobile is now and where it's going in the future. There's good news for meeting planners, too. It's headed in a very profitable direction, thanks to mobile payment technology.
"Event organizers should ensure events are mobile-payment ready and incorporate this into programs and events as soon as possible," the experts at ACTIVE Network declare. "If event organizers can offer mobile payments as part of their services, they're already riding the mobile wave and setting themselves ahead of the competition right off the bat."
In addition to setting themselves ahead of the competition, organizers who embrace mobile payments will also uncover new real-time revenue opportunities. While attendees typically pay registration fees long before the meeting actually begins, mobile payment technology carries the potential for convenient last-minute purchases.
SEE ALSO: An App-titude for Revenue
For example, an attendee arrives and hasn't purchased a ticket to the exclusive opening night party. She realizes she can't miss the networking opportunity. Forget the hassles of credit card swipes and signatures. Mobile payments are instant with credit card information stored securely in the attendee's phone. Just tap the mobile device in front of a terminal, and the transaction is complete. Want to sell your OnDemand education package? With mobile payments, you won't have to wait to send an email after the meeting. Capture attendee attention while they're already in session rooms, and offer a discount for on-site buyers.
Perhaps the most recognized retailer that has enjoyed great success with an app that welcomes mobile payments is Starbucks. The cafe processed approximately $500 million worth of mobile payments in 2012. While the Starbucks on the corner and your big annual meeting may sound like drastically different operations, mobile payments are built on a model that applies across all on-the-go customers, members and attendees: conveniences translates to cash.

Deniece Cornejo speaks: 'I'm the victim and the innocent one'
Deniece Cornejo, the 22-year-old student who had filed a complaint of attempted rape against Vhong Navarro, told GMA News TV on Monday noon that she is the victim and the innocent one in the incident that resulted in the mauling of the TV host and comedian last week.
"You want justice, I'll give you the real justice. In the field of women's rights, the right will always be right. Mataas ang paghanga ko sa mga lalaki na marunong rumespeto at ipagtanggol ang mga kababaihan. Kung may biktima at innocente dito, walang iba kundi ako," Cornejo said in a text message aired on the GMA News TV program "Balitanghali".
At this writing, she was reportedly on her way to file her complaint at the National Bureau of Investigation office in Manila.
Immediately after Navarro identified Cornejo on Sunday, netizens sympathetic to his plight wasted no time posting information and photos about her and one of the men who mauled him Wednesday night inside Cornejo's condominium in Taguig City.
In no time, the names "Denise Millette Cornejo" and "Cedric Lee" became trending topics on Twitter as they became the objects of scorn of the fans of the embattled comedian and TV host.
In several tweets, Twitter users identified the girl Navarro was referring to in his interview with ABS-CBN's "Buzz ng Bayan" as actually Deniece Cornejo or Deniece Milinette Cornejo.
According to the information that can be viewed on the Facebook page of this Deniece Milinette Cornejo, she is from San Mateo, California and studies at De La Salle University. Her Facebook account's cover photo shows her lying on a large couch wearing a black cocktail dress with the caption, "Dark Closet".
Following Navarro's revelation, Cornejo blocked people from posting and seeing her posts in her Facebook fan page. On her supposed real Twitter account (@realdeniece), she said also deleted her previous posts and left last two tweets.
Prior to blocking her Facebook page, an intriguing photo of her posing with GMA Network chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon and two other elderly individuals can be viewed by anybody. In the photo caption, she referred to Gozon as "lolo", prompting GMA's Corporate Communications Department to issue a statement to several media outlets clarifying that Gozon is not related to Cornejo.
On Monday, singer Wency Cornejo also declared he was not related to Deniece.
A 2013 magazine article about her entitled "Good girls can finish first" written by one Pio Granada revealed more about this mysterious young lady.
Granada's article described her as "the spitting image of Leighton Meester AKA Blair Waldorf".
"Notorious for being the mean girl in the TV hit series Gossip Girl, her Leighton Meester association gives people the opposite impression of her true character. When you first meet Deniece you would think she has a diva attitude. However, once you start getting to know her, you will watch all your assumptions melt away as you spend more time with her," Granada added.
The article also disclosed that Cornejo's priority was finishing her Hotel and Restaurant Management course in La Salle. She has been tapped to endorse several brands and has even represented the Philippines in a hair and make-up competition in Indonesia.
As for showbiz association, Granada noted that Cornejo has also appeared in the ABS-CBN teleserye "Lovers in Paris" and in an episode of "Maalaala Mo Kaya".

Advertisement It now appears online support for all of these titles was quietly pulled at the beginning of this month.The only 2K Sports titles with confirmed online support today are 2011's Top Spin 4, Major League Baseball 2K12, and, of course, NBA 2K13. I booted into College Hoops 2K8, All-Pro Football 2K8, and even NBA 2K12 and got messages saying 2K Sports servers were offline in each one. Kotaku has reached out to 2K Sports representatives for clarification.AdvertisementThe server shutdowns are significant because it effectively means the end of College Hoops 2K8's roster sharing community. Though the game was canceled in early 2008, its online support—and the ability to share edited rosters with real-world, re-rated performers—continued through this autumn. All Pro Football 2K8, the spiritual heir to the beloved NFL 2K5, no longer has online multiplayer. NBA 2K12 likewise has no online support, at last check.In 2011 EA Sports shut down online support, including roster sharing, for its NCAA Basketball series, which as a physical release outlived College Hoops by a year and was canceled after its November 2009 release. Theoretically, rosters may still be shared among PC gamers playing College Hoops 2K8 or playing college mods of 2K Sports' NBA series, but this is effectively the death of college basketball in console video gaming.NBA 2K12 gamers first noticed the outage, according to this thread, begun three weeks ago. They pointed to this message on 2K Sports' Forums, saying the servers for everything but MLB 2K12 and NBA 2K13 went dark on Nov. 1. I checked and was still able to create matches and connect to other players in Top Spin 4, 2K Sports' acclaimed tennis simulation released in 2011.SponsoredCollege basketball has long been a problematic license for sports publishers. Though the NCAA has a billion-dollar television contract for its championship tournament and summons millions of viewers in North America in March, titles under its license released in November, typically at the end of the simulation sports publishing cycle, and were cannibalized by the professional basketball games. College sports simulations also face the threat of litigation; a lawsuit currently in U.S. federal court claims the NCAA and its licensed games publishers—i.e. EA Sports—unlawfully used actual amateur players' likenesses.EA Sports developed a roster-sharing feature through its console games in response to the NCAA's unwillingness to license the use of its athletes' real names. 2K Sports' "roster share" feature, which arrived later in its College Hoops title, was similar in structure.Reply50 repliesLeave a reply

1 Invisible door lock
Advertisement |
Hotel security is an issue that often rears its head for all the wrong reasons. Hoteliers are left with the challenge of making hotel stays safe without turning the hotel into a fortified prison.
But a breakthrough of the positive kind has been made by VingCard Elsafe, the company behind the world's first invisible door lock —Essence by VingCard.
This new concept in locking design and technology takes minimalism to the extreme, eliminating all lock hardware on the door by encasing electronic components inside the door itself.
Interior electronics include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) compatible locking technologies.
ASSA Abloy Hospitality president Tim Shea said: "Essence by VingCard represents another giant leap forward in hotel design and technology.
It not only makes the lock disappear from the hotel door, resolving design challenges for savvy, design-conscious hoteliers, but it also minimises a variety of operational issues, such as integration, installation and maintenance."

Nicolas Cage is starting Mardi Gras off with a bang! The actor was escorted back to his New Orleans hotel by police for his own safety after management at Stella on Chartres Street reported a window was broken.
"We can confirm that we did respond to an incident at that location on Friday night at around 10:45 p.m. and that Mr. Cage needed some assistance to go back to his hotel," Officer Juan Barnes told RadarOnline.
"A window was found to be broken at the restaurant but the owners decided it was an internal matter and that they would handle it. There was no formal complaint or charge written-up."
Police wouldn't confirm or deny if Cage had been hitting the bottle prior to the incident or if he was the one that broke the window. Restaurant management had no comment and refused to press charges.
It is not out of the realm of possibilities that Nicolas Cage was absolutely wasted and acting like a fool, after all, he does have a history. Last December, the Drive Angry actor was caught on tape having his own special Charlie Sheen moment outside of a Romanian nightclub, screaming, "Get in that car and walk away! I'll (expletive) die because of honor. I'll (expletive) die right now! Don't touch me you little (expletive)!"
"See my eyes! Respect them as you'd respect me!"
Can't wait to see what he does to celebrate Fat Tuesday.

Milwaukee County Board should limit use of outside counsel
Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic told us Monday that the board requires the advice of outside counsel for the time being so that it can get the answers it needs on questions related to Act 14. That's the state law enacted last year that changed the powers of the board.
She also pointed out that the county's own lawyer advised hiring outside counsel last year to avoid a conflict of interest. And she told us that since almost every aspect of county business is affected by Act 14, there are lots of questions.
Fair enough. But we think the public would be helped by two things: First, more voluntary transparency from the board on the questions involved and less hiding behind attorney-client privilege. Second, using outside counsel only when absolutely necessary, and stopping that use as soon as possible. Answering all those questions is costing county taxpayers money.
Journal Sentinel columnist Daniel Bice reported Monday that the board voted to authorize Dimitrijevic to select a firm and spend up to $25,000 to review and possibly challenge the legality of Act 14, a new state law limiting the board's power and budget. The resolution authorizing the hire expressly notes that outside counsel will be used to "provide guidance on the implementation and legality" of the act.
The implementation part is where the rub comes in. Late last year, Dimitrijevic bumped the contract for the firm — Hawks Quindel — to $99,999. She has the authority to do that, as an opinion from the county's deputy corporation counsel noted. That's all by the book.
But Bice noted that the public has no idea what the county is paying the firm to do specifically and that billing records are heavily redacted because of attorney-client privilege.
"They are not being transparent at all," Supervisor Deanna Alexander, a supporter of the new law who was one of four board members to oppose hiring the firm, told Bice. Alexander's concerns are legitimate, and she and the public deserve a full accounting.
Dimitrijevic told us that the board is being transparent and that requests for records are being addressed. She emphasized that Act 14 is a complicated piece of legislation that raises many questions about what supervisors can and cannot do and that the board is simply trying to get answers. As those questions are resolved, she said, there will be less need for outside counsel. "Are we moving forward? I think so," she said.
Some of the questions? A land sale in the Park East, the dismissal of former corporation counsel Kimberly Walker, the long-term deal between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum. Bice's review of some billing records also showed that the firm billed to attend county meetings, provide advice on Obamacare, review a Granville St. project and water tower deal and discuss a confirmation hearing.
Were all those necessary? Dimitrijevic says they were all related to questions on Act 14. OK, but the questions should diminish as time goes on. Dimitrijevic says that will be the case. We also hope that there is a final accounting for exactly what work Hawks Quindel did and will do, that the public is made fully aware of that work and that the attorney-client privilege shield is kept to a minimum.

NBC and production company Shine America announced Wednesday (June 25) that fan-favorite trainer Jillian Michaels will not return to "The Biggest Loser" in the fall.
If you're keeping track, this is the third time Michaels has exited the popular weight-loss reality series.
No other details are in the statement, reported by the AP. A production company spokesman tells the wire service that the focus is on Season 16, which debuts on NBC in September.
This news follows reports that Michaels was concerned about the direction of the show after the Rachel Frederickson controversy last season. A source at that time told People that Michaels was "deeply concerned about the direction the show has been taking" and was "turned off by the mean-spirited storylines and poor care of the contestants."
There has been no statement from Michaels herself or her representatives. Any replacement trainers have also not been announced.
Wednesday afternoon, Michaels posted this on her popular Facebook page … perhaps looking to find that moment of calm before the storm?
Post by Jillian Michaels.
"The Biggest Loser" Season 16 premieres Sept. 11 on NBC.

Thank you for responding.
I will mainly be listening to alternative rock music.
My ears are kind of shaped weird but I have some triple flange tips that will provide the isolation I require. They must be comfortable and lightweight though but not strictly so.
Sound wise I appreciate balanced sound with tight bass and clear mids and highs. Durability is the main issue here. Both my Nuforce and V Moda IEMs lasted less than a few months each and I used them very carefully with their included pouches.

Our e-mail support has been receiving far too many e-mails in regards to our application SoundEffects. I would really like to work with somebody at BlackBerry on fixing these problems. Here is what has happed since we first published our app:
1. SoundEffects v1.0 was published and we started receiving numerous e-mails from Storm users complaining sounds did not play
2. We confirmed that the simulator worked but devices do have issues. The only work around is to adjust volume after the sound plays. There are numerous posts to a firmware issue and how it was fixed but Verizon doesn't appear to be rolling out the upgrade.
3. We take the storm off the supported list for v1.0
4. Created v1.0.1 that works around the issue by constantly setting the volume when sounds play. We post this new version up and set it to be only used for Storms.
5. The fix appears to be working for new customers. Old customers that were on v1.0 cannot upgrade. They get the option to click upgrade but it never downloads and always errors out. Some customers just get the button to purchase the application again. That's not good as we set it to be a free upgrade.
6. We are also getting some e-mails regarding how to download applications again or the downloads are failing in the middle of download. I would like to know how to respond to this. Is there an e-mail for support for blackberry App World because there is nothing we can do to fix these issues.
I wish I could say this process has been worth it but given the number of purchases compared to all the e-mails we have to field because of reasons outside of our control--bad firmware, bad downloads, failed upgrades, etc. We would like to get a better understanding of how to respond to these issues and if there are improvements coming that will provide a better end user experience for our customers. Thanks for any help you may provide.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you guys for letting me know the e-mail support address. I have just e-mailed them with the above information. I will let you know if I hear anything regarding these issues. It has not gotten better at all. And the latest issue is people buying the app, restorting their phone, then not being able to download from My World. So... just to summarize my issues again:
1. Upgrades do not work
2. People claiming double purchase
3. My World doesn't have customer's paid apps for re-download
I guess there is some comfort knowing I'm not alone in this mess...
please let me know if you hear anything.
I received word from RIM support. Sounds like the issues will be solved shortly!
Thank you for your email. I wanted to touch on a few points/issues you mentioned below, and try to provide some light at the end of the tunnel.
a. User cannot upgrade your application (connection error message)
b. User being not seeing your application when logging back into My World
The 2 above issues were identified early last week, and we have been working on putting together a hotfix to resolve these 2 major issues. We are expecting to have this in place and live within the next 24-36 hours. Once this fix is in, users should be able to correctly reconcile their purchased applications by logging into My World, as well as successfully upgrade your application from the older version to the newest version.
I'm getting the same type of emails. What a bloody nightmare. I am completely overwhelmed with 'support' emails for problems that are totally App World related.
Have you had any luck with this issue?
I was able to successfully re-purchase my own application. Two separate PayPal payments! Customers can definitely double pay if they are not careful.
I cannot believe it.

The first half of Vladimir Kott's sophomore feature, "Gromozeka," is so promising that it intensifies the disappointment that follows.
The first half of Vladimir Kott's sophomore feature, "Gromozeka," is so promising that it intensifies the disappointment that follows. A trio of exceptional actors offer some rewards playing former school friends coping with the disillusion of youthful ideals, but Kott can't do enough to grind his characters' metaphorical noses in the mud of life, piling tragedy on top of humiliation that's barely relieved by occasional moments of black humor. Limited fest play is likely, though theatrical is doubtful.
As teens, they were in a band called Gromozeka, but 30 years later, they inhabit different worlds. Surgeon Eduard (Nikolay Dobrynin) can't muster the courage to tell his sour-faced wife (Darya Semenova) he's having an affair. Cop Vasya (Boris Kamorzin) is psychologically emasculated by a demotion, plus his wife, Larisa (Yevgeniya Dobrovolskaya), is having an affair. Cabbie Mozerov (Leonid Gromov) discovers his daughter (Polina Filonenko) is a porn star. Women are cuckolds, frigid or whores (the latter's forgiveness of her father's shocking behavior is especially appalling), while men are pummeled by fate. At least Kott ("The Fly") generally elicits sympathy. Editing is skilful, and lensing nicely textured.Gromozeka

OT: For The Birds
Some days ago, we noticed a bird in the hanging fern at the entrance to our house. Every time we came in, it would flit off. One day, I stopped by and looked down.. and there was a nest!
It's a little grayish-brown bird, maybe a house finch or a small mourning dove. Closer to:
Last year, we had house finches nesting in our patio. It was really cool to see the little birds come up and beg for food when the parents flew in! Maybe I should put up a screen so the mama bird isn't so worried about us being nearby when we come and go from the house. Spring has all kinds of surprises!
Cool Eggs. I am trying to find out what kind of bird would lay an egg about 1 inch long, light blue, with light brown and dark brown speckles.
Thrush? Please post if you have a clue cause I don't!
- young person trying to incubate abandoned eggs

Canada Day Traditions: How to Celebrate
June 19, 2014
The national day of Canada is celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867 which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. The holiday was originally called Dominion Day and it was the day when Constitution Act was created.
Canada Day (July 1st 2014) is one of the most important holidays for Canadians to celebrate the birth of the nation and is usually celebrated with gatherings, great food and fun. If you would like to get in to the Canada Day spirit this year, here are a few suggestions how you can do it.
1. Enjoy Parades and Concerts
If your community is celebrating Canada Day, hit the streets and enjoy the parades and concerts. The idea is to go out and have fun listening to music, face painting for the kids and lots of street performers. Check for details about the parade online or in local newspapers.
2. Visit one of the main Canadian cities
If you would like to travel for this Canada Day and experience the authentic celebration, then one of the main Canadian cities would be a great choice. You'll experience concerts, food booths and excited crowds. Ottawa throws a spectacular event right next to the Parliament House, with activities all day long. Vancouver has a whole day event with amazing activities for everybody. You can also attend the Montreal Jazz Festival or Calgary Stampede. Don't forget that Canada's Air Force throws great air shows on the day.
3. Enjoy the party food
Organize a barbecue party with family and friends or go out to enjoy some delicious multicultural food. You can find great recipes for Canada Day and enjoy holiday food. From Canadian flag cupcakes or cake, hot dogs and hamburgers to french fries with gravy and cheese curds. Other fabulous traditional Canada Day recipes are: Lobster rolls or fried clams, baklava and cupcakes made to look like beavers. Also, you can make anything using maple syrup, from taffy pulls to pancakes.
4. Dress in Canadian colors
You can dress patriotic by wearing a simple T-shirt with maple leaf or going all in by draping the maple leaf flag over your shoulders. There are great Canadian flag hats available and people usually wear red and white clothing. You can also go bold and dye your hair bright red with temporary hair colour spray or put temporary tattoos on your cheek.
5. Send a Card to all your Canadian friends
Even if you are not celebrating Canada Day or you're not based in Canada anymore, you probably have friends and family members who are celebrating this great holiday. Surprise them with one of great cards for Canada Day and show them that you're supporting their tradition.

Anyone else have this issue. I've noticed it on probably 6-10 times in the past week and a half. Phone appears to lock up / freeze, then powers down and reboots. Has happened while sitting idle, while reading an article in the browser and while mid-type in a text message. No pattern, doesn't seem to matter how full the battery is. No clue what it is happening.
Thanks for any insights -- sorry if there is a thread on this already. If so, please share the link.
Do you have any sideloaded Android apps?
That seems to be a common culprit.
Other factors that may have an impact based on some evidence I've seen:
Memory card/memory card encryption issues
Streaming media
Problematic websites (ie with Flash content)
Actually we are testing with 5 x BB Z10. 3 of 5 test users reported such kind of unexpected reboots. All uses BB OS 10.0.10.90 from Vodafone DE.
A few days ago I myself had to type in SIM PIN twice in 3 Minutes.
Certainly there are several apps installed, BB 10 native apps and android ports. But that shouldn't matter.
Which OS allows a silly app to crash the whole system? Especially QNX should be able to protect itself.
Otherwise I also saw iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 crashing because of an app.
In addition my Z10 also crashes my SD Card. So I had to format my SD Card.
Unexpected reboots happend after that, too.
anzoro wrote:In addition my Z10 also crashes my SD Card. So I had to format my SD Card.
Unexpected reboots happend after that, too.
I can't figure out what you mean by "crashes my SD Card". SD cards don't crash.
Re: "Android ports" - I'm talking of "sideloaded" apps, not apps installed from Blackberry World which were originally Android applications, ported over to BB10.
Many people have noted that a lot of the ported Android apps are of low quality, but at least if they are offered on BW they have been vetted to some extent. Sideloaded apps could be anything, malware etc, there is no protection from Blackberry about what they comprise.
Agree, SD cards don't crash
But I'm wondering my Z10 wasn't able to read/write/use my 16 GB SD card switched from BB Torch 9800 until reformat.
We don't use sideloaded .bar apps.

Well I have heard other people mentioning they had issues with certain memory cards before formatting them in the Z10. Perhaps the existing files on the card are confusing it, perhaps there were some bad blocks on the card that needed to be mapped-out with a format, I don't know.
Technically, you should only HAVE to re-format SDXC (64GB and larger) cards, since the early releases of Z10 firmware apparently don't understand the native ExFAT format on SDXC cards, it has to format them with FAT32 to work with them.
But I assume that issue will go away once ExFAT is built-in to the Z10 firmware. BBRY licensed ExFAT from Microsoft last August/September.
Mine does that too. I never noticed until today, but every time it restarts my rotation lock turns off. That's how I twigged on. FYI I have no side loaded apps. I've had other problems with this thing already. I'm really not impressed. I may take it back and try another phone. Technolgy is a great thing, but not if it's unreliable.
Restarts still hapens with Vodafone DE OS Update 10.0.10.99.

Back to the OP: Just keep experimenting to find your optimal layering strategy. The sore calves were most likely not from cold, but from the different footing. Mine do that if the snow is heavy or if the path has that "feedlot" texture. It does take me a little longer to warm up when it's cold. I just start at a gentle jog and speed up from there. This morning it was 11F on my run and it was great. Just about perfect. Keep up the good work! Running outside in the winter is pretty awesome.

The windchill is -34*C or -26*F today. It's hard to get motivated to run by myself in that.

Three half marathons later, I got a number. Half Fanatic #9292. :)
Encouragement welcome
Oh, I was on the same synthetic outdoor track I've been on for months. No snow, no ice, just cold. Same old thing as always. My lower legs probably still have some muscle development to do, and I think that in my desire to get warm quickly, I started out too fast. At one point my app said that I was doing a pace of something like 11 1/2 minutes per mile, and I am NOT ready for that yet.

10k, half, and marathon someday....
(Hey, I'm just getting started!)
Wow... is it coincidence that there is an UnderArmour Cold Gear ad right above my post??
CanadianMeg - Brr! -20F is my lower limit and then I just stay inside. I can see why it would be difficult to get out.
Penguin Forever
I went for a 6-miler in 15 degree weather on Sunday. I'm slow, so the run lasted a while. After the run, I went and bought a cheap neoprene and fleece face mask (has a nose hole cut-out and breathing holes over the mouth); everything else I wore seemed to be just right - cold weather tights, long sleeve tech shirt under a short sleeve tech shirt, fleece headband, those cheapy knitted gloves.
The one problem I run into that I haven't totally solved yet is how to keep my water from freezing in my handheld on long runs. Depending on the temp it will freeze almost right away in the spout or take up to 60-90 minutes. But either way it's annoying to be carrying around a bottle full of slush that I can't drink. Currently, I fill it the night before and let it sit on the counter so it's at room temp before I leave. Any other suggestions?
A little gatorade added to the water will drop the freezing point. Not much but some...salt will do it to...and Vodka.
Go to a bike shop, they have thermal lined bottles. Again, it won't stop it but it will stay liquid longer.
Carry your bottle upside down.
When I train for a spring marathon I drop a cheap thermos. To date nobody has taken it.
Don't stop at room temperature--put hot water in the bottle. It'll still cool down and freeze eventually, but will give you that much more time (especially if you use an insulated cover for the bottle).
Besides what's already been mentioned, check the type of nozzle in your handheld. Bottles differ in the size of the opening. Smaller ones clog faster than the bigger ones. (I was very frustrated when I first started running in colder temperatures and discovered this.)
Keep in mind that a handheld is held away from your body and will be more susceptible to cold than something in a waistbelt or in a jacket packet.
Can I assume that you're running somewhere around -20F and colder if you're getting slush in the bottle before the nozzle actually freezes so quickly? I'm asking because I can run for 1-2 hrs without slush (or minimal slush) in those temperatures - but I'm using a waistbelt, 24-oz bottle, starting with hot water, and putting a sock over the top of the nozzle. The nozzle may start freezing if I don't drink every 15min or so. I can't remember if I was using sportsdrinks or plain water. I know last year, the nozzle froze on me, but close enough to 2 hrs, that running the last 10min or so without water wasn't an issue.
MTA: Some of the thermal lined bottles don't have protection for the top part, others do.
I'm using a standard Nathan 24 ounce handheld. Plain water. No insulation. Room temp in the winter is about 65. Freezing problems start at 20F and then get worse the colder it gets. On the warmer end I can go 2+ hours before the freezing starts and then I'm almost done anyway. On the colder end of the spectrum the nozzle will freeze very quickly. Sometimes I can thaw it out by blowing, sometimes not. I was thinking dropping a couple shots of rum in there might fix the problem. Not sure about the legality where I live though. Technically I'd be running around with a cocktail. We have a bike shop in town. I'll go check out the insulated bottles.

Mine just arrived last week and they are TTS for me. Really nice and comfortable.
Does anyone have some sizing hints? I'm usually around a UK9.5 standard width in C&J shoes and Tricker's W2298 . I'm looking to get the Trickers' Stow boot - should I say with the 9.5 or size down to UK9? Thanks for any help. Jim
