Canon's new Pixma MG6220 multifunction printer carries an impressive list of features compared with other consumer-level printers that sell for $200. This capable machine achieves top-scoring marks in both speed and output quality, but also innovates with features you can't get with the competition, like a 3-inch display that pairs well with the touch-sensitive control panel. The touch sensitivity can use some tweaking, but if you're on the hunt for a printer truly worthy of its all-in-one moniker, the Canon Pixma MG6220 won't disappoint.
The Pixma MG6220 features a thin shape and a unique design that incorporates folding trays to keep the footprint small. The printer measures 18.5 inches wide, 14.5 inches deep, and just under 7 inches tall with both front and rear trays folded. It also weighs slightly more than average at 20.1 pounds due to the rear-mounted ADF and the six internal ink tanks, but it should still be relatively easy for anyone to transport around the home or office.
The far left side of the printer houses the only hard button for power. Touch-sensitive virtual buttons for copy, scan, and print controls light up the top-mounted interactive panel when you initially hit the hard power button, but the printer only illuminates the commands necessary for each function once you select a print mode. This feature helps eliminate confusion typical of heavily populated control panels.
The MG6220 will always display the "home" and "back" navigation buttons regardless of which application you access (print, copy, scan), but you can also scroll through the menus and adjust the number of print copies using the active touch wheel. Finally, an ample 3-inch color LCD screen lifts up from the middle and tilts 90 degrees forward and back to allow visibility no matter where the printer sits in relation to the user.
The new "as-needed" buttons are useful and easy to use, but I hope the next version will let you adjust sensitivity settings. The fixed setting is so sensitive that a quick swipe can easily trigger an accidental press, and even hovering your finger over the sensor can activate it.
Dual 150-sheet paper trays fold out of the top and bottom of the MG6220 and adjust forward and backward to accept a range of paper sizes from 4-inch-by-6-inch snapshots all the way up to legal-size sheets. The 300-sheet overall paper capacity means you can put different-sized media in both compartments, but the trays themselves both feel easily breakable; I can't vouch for their durability over time and continued use.
The MG6220 can also print labels for your blank CD and DVDs using the extra feed tray included in the box. Canon calls it the Printable Disc tray, and it even has notches that fit full-size CDs as well as mini-media, but the special slot located just above the paper output tray can only accept one disc at a time. Regardless, the process is easy to use thanks to Canon's free label-printing software (included) that lets you design and print your own stickers.
Setting up the printer is simple no matter how you choose to connect it to a computer, and the installation disc offers onscreen instructions that guide you through three connectivity options using either 802.11 b/g/n wireless, an Ethernet cable, or a simple USB cord. You can choose Easy Install to grab everything, or pick Custom Install for a-la-carte features, including Easy-PhotoPrint EX for managing your digital photos, MP Navigator EX to guide you through the scanning process, and more. Keep in mind you'll need 691 megabytes of free hard drive space on your computer if you go with the comprehensive Easy Install.
Once Easy Installation is complete, Windows users will notice several new buttons displayed above the taskbar on the lower right side of the screen. These shortcuts are designed to give you quick access to five of the most commonly used printer functions: Scan a document, Layout print, Photo Print, Show Main Screen, and Hide.
The MG6220 also includes Canon's HD Movie Print that pulls still photos out of videos shot with compatible Canon HD video cameras. I tested the printer with a Canon Powershot S95 top-flight handheld camera and was impressed with the Canon Solution Menu EX software's step-by-step walkthrough instructions.

No one who walks into Jeri and Jesse Hannon's townhouse in Mays Chapel North is likely to forget the dining room chandelier.
Hanging from a 10-foot-high carved ceiling medallion, this magnificent fixture, fashioned of cut crystal and looking much like a carved ice sculpture, commands the space around it. The elegance of the chandelier almost solely defines Jeri Hannon's decorating scheme in the home she and her husband have occupied for the past seven years.
"I like shiny things," says the 46-year-old Realtor, who together with her husband, is one-half of Homes by Hannon, a team of Re/Max executive brokers. "This house is filled with glass-topped tables, mirrors, chandeliers and crystal."
"And lot of art," added her husband of 19 years. The two met via the Baltimore County school system, where they both taught before their foray into real estate.
Since it's difficult to decide which interior element to focus on first — paintings or radiant furnishings — it's best to absorb the entire design picture as it has been artfully laid out, room by room.
Walking past the living and dining rooms to the back of the home, the open kitchen and adjacent family room give the impression of an interior wider than the actual 25 feet. Both rooms look out on a deck with a western exposure and beyond that, wooded acreage reminiscent of the home they previously owned in Sparks, which, Jesse Hannon said, "became too much to take care of" for a busy couple with no children and always on the go.
And so, the two chose to live in nearby Lutherville, in the townhome community developed and built by the Keelty Company.
The Hannons paid $472,000 for their brick-fronted home. An additional $80,000 went into upgrades and changes, including high-quality paint for every room, porcelain flooring in the kitchen and family room, thin-planked oak flooring throughout the rest of the home, ceiling moldings and, finally, new furniture.
"We changed the whole interior of the house," Jeri Hannon said. "l took a lamp from the Sparks home, but most of the furniture is new and I still have more coming."
Furniture and interior design accents were bought from a number of stores including Ethan Allen, Nouveau Contemporary Goods in Baltimore and Leesha Lee, Ltd.
"The floor plans in these houses may all look the same, but the interiors are distinctive, some formally decorated," she says. "When I changed out furniture, I was going for glam, elegance, Manhattan chic. You know when the elements come together."
And even casually observing the whole picture, room to room, it certainly does come together.
The kitchen area's glass table top takes the form of a large quatrefoil set on a massive piece of carved walnut. The kitchen boasts maple cabinets and shiny stainless appliances from Kitchen Aid.
The leather furniture in the family room is smartly elegant, especially paired with mirror-front end tables and an oversized microfiber ottoman. The focal point is a framed painting of a cityscape hanging over a gas fireplace.
The wall color in the back of the home is a soft sand shade that segues to an elegant gray in the dining and living rooms, accented by columns and ceiling molding.
The couple is proud of their extensive collection of paintings, etchings and watercolors, all framed in gleaming gilt. The wall of the stairway to the second level features a pair of Shaefer-Miles landscape paintings. Upstairs, a modern Picasso-like painting of musicians by the artist Alfred Gockel is on display. A lovely oil painting of the Amalfi Coast by Alex Perez graces a wall in the couple's bedroom.
A crystal chandelier hangs above a French-designed, kidney-shaped vanity in Jeri Hannon's bedroom-turned-dressing room. Its crystal drops are magnified in a mirrored door.
The home's finished lower level, decorated in office-modern, serves as the workplace for the couple. Contemporary walnut pieces, including a conference table, contrast with the light microfiber upholstery of the chairs and sofa. Two desks are separated by a center counter with, what Jeri Hannon calls, "the dueling printers" facing back-to-back.
"This house really fits our needs," she says. And of the beautiful living room that is always used and the crystal glasses that are always served to guests, she adds, "These things are meant to be enjoyed; life is not a dress rehearsal!"

Making the dream
Dream element: The Hannons' townhouse in Mays Chapel North is located in a bucolic setting that is less than a mile from the Interstate 83. "We can be downtown at Vaccaro's [Italian pastry] in Little Italy for dessert in 20 minutes," boasts Jesse Hannon. In addition to the proximity to Baltimore's bustle, the couple can sit on their back deck and enjoy the wooded area beyond their property. "We have a herd of deer, a family of foxes, cardinals, blue jays and hummingbirds," said Jesse Hannon. "This place is a haven for wildlife."
Dream design: The townhome's steep roof, with a front gable over a garage door that is barn-like in appearance, suggests a cottage ambience. And while the townhouses on the street are all architecturally alike, many options for landscaping personalize each exterior.
Dream interior: "Being a Realtor, I show a lot of houses with many different tastes," said Jeri Hannon. "You don't buy the house to fit the furniture; you buy the furniture to fit the house." The couple's tastes lean toward contemporary, with neutral colors in cleanly designed upholstered pieces, some with metal studding, fine wood pieces that include cabinets of tiger maple, walnut, rosewood and burl wood. Accent pieces comply with Jeri Hannon's love of shiny metals, such as her tin counter chairs, large mirrors in cut mirrored frames, glass lamp bases, crystal chandeliers and copious pieces of fine cut crystal displayed under the soft lights of a birds-eye maple wood hutch.
No one who walks into Jeri and Jesse Hannon's townhouse in Mays Chapel North is likely to forget the dining room chandelier.

It has been a while since I've had the urge to do anything crafy and handmade... but when I stopped by Trader Joe's the other night (after forgetting my chico bag) I was taken by how cute their Holiday paper grocery bags were. I felt compelled to use them again and after some card stock and double-sided tape, I now have gift tags to use for Christmas!

I love these! Can you post more specific instructions for those of us that are totally uncreative?
- December 11, 2008 at 12:46 PM
- Katie said...
Plummie - Of course! Sorry, I didn't really list any instructions!
-Cut out large pieces of the bag that you want to use (Whole Foods has cute bags too).
-Find a heavy-weight paper for the tag. (If you don't have cardstock, try the cover of a catalog or an old greeting card)
-If you have a steady hand, you can try to cut the shape of the tag freestyle. Otherwise, with a ruler, draw out the shape of a tag (or circle, square, etc). Once you have one cut out, you can use it as a template for the others.
-Find the space on the bag you like, cut out the approximate size and use double sided tape or glue to attach the cardstock to the back.
-Cut the excess bag from around the edges of the cardstock.
-Use a hole punch (I didn't have one, so I used a pair of sharp scissors) to poke a hole.
-I used old school hole reinforcers (think 5th grade) around the edges, but that's not really needed.
Hope that helps!

S. J. Vellenga
The Official Website
Use the arrows to meet the people of Dryas...
Alatya Pela
Head of Ordo Extraho, the vampire coven
Born into a life of witchcraft and magic, Alatya Pela was destined to find a powerful place in the ranks of Kryall. This was not her first destination, however, as she had spent several years studying the arts under the ancient witches of Gorahn, honing her skills for her eventual position in the council of Ordo Extraho.
It was brought to her attention that the tombs of the ancients were being sought, and she made it her own mission to ensure that they would remain safe. For many years, she spent most of her time either traveling through the vast lands of Kri and beyond, keenly searching for a clue as to the location of a tomb, or charging others with the same task.
Upon the discovery of the first, she returned to Kryall and appointed one of her own to watch over the door and study its markings. It was hoped that this was to be the closest anyone would get to one of the ancients.
Aran Rheyatis
Head researcher of ancient tombs
Abandoned on the steps of an orphanage outside Arnath, it is assumed that he was born nearby. His childhood was a solitary existence, excepting his close friendship with Mika.
Before his sixteenth birthday, he relinquished his place in the orphanage and decided to travel through the countryside, honing his natural magical abilities and undertaking freelance work to sustain himself. Upon his return to Arnath, he convinced Mika to travel with him, taking her as far north as Tarlos before returning to Kryall.
They both joined Alatya's ranks, Aran choosing to undertake further historical studies at her request.
Arkeus Baratis
Capitol guard appointed to the protection of Alatya
Very little is known of Arkeus past. He arrived in Kryall twenty years before the great war erupted, badly wounded and keeping to himself. After being treated by the city's medical staff, he decided to remain within its walls until his debt was repaid.
In the years that passed, he kept his story to himself, only once admitting that he had spent some time in the forest of Kilana. Having spent a number of years working in the gatehouse to the capitol building, he was promoted to capitol guard and stationed within its walls.
Using his new position to his advantage, he requested to be present during all meetings of the council. He was granted this wish and noticed by Alatya, who decided to take him on as a personal guard whenever she was to leave the city.
Krahn Motahr
Personal guard of Rakah L'Sterah
Left by his parents in Gorahn, he was adopted by a military family and raised with such values. His youth was unlike that of many other children, with many hours spent within the walls of the barracks, watching the soldiers train and occasionally assisting them with whatever they may have needed.
He took a special interest in the werewolves among the ranks, carefully studying their features as they changed into a more wolf-like form and noting their enhanced abilities. It is assumed that his time spent in the barracks is what convinced him to request to be turned, and as he reached his thirties, his request was granted.
With his newfound strength and detailed knowledge of combat, he was appointed to the special guard of the city, and later appointed to Rakah's personal guard.
Marus Ceran
Werewolf leader of Gorahn defences
Born far north over the ranges and into the lands of Tarlos, Marus' first appearance in Kri was as a young adult. He was but a merchant at the time, and did not spend long, travelling through Selos and over the Barros ranges to the south.
He returned to Kri years later however, and headed straight for Gorahn, meeting a witch by the name of Elatos, commonly known as The Fire Queen. She taught him the ways of Kri and gave him a basic understanding of magic before he decided to take the path of a werewolf. She assisted him in this choice, only to have him abandon her and continue his travels south.
His final return to Gorahn saw him appointed as the leader of the werewolf soldiers. With his new position, he was taken in by Rakah and made to be not only a personal guard, but a strong friend.
Mika Rheyatis
Second in command to Alatya Pela
Left as an orphan at birth, she spent much of her childhood at an orphanage outside Arnath, using her free time as she aged to work on the city's docks. Her early years were spent as a normal citizen, saving to buy her own land and working at a local café well into her twenties.
Things changed, however, when an old friend from the orphanage, Aran, returned to her after years of absense, now changed drastically and speaking of magic. Convinced by his tales, she abandoned her old life and pursued a future of witchcraft, later marrying him. Their time together eventually led them to join Alatya and assist her personally in her ventures.
Rakah L'Sterah
Leader of Contempus Orcanus, the werewolf clan
One of the most powerful witches of Kri, Rakah L'Sterah rules over the mountain city of Gorahn and all that fall within its lands. His face is pockmarked with scars, and his body shriveled and old. In his youth, he appeared quite handsome, but the many, many years that he has lived and fought have taken their toll.
Rakah's focus is bent on the tombs of the ancients and the fabled keys that are told to unlock their doors. Few know of his reasons or intentions, and fewer wish to find out. Many have died as a result of his single minded desire, and it is feared that many more shall meet the same fate.
May those that step between him and his goal have the gods' mercy.
Shepherd Pela
Leader of the vampire elite guard
The result of a failed relationship, Shepherd was left in Cenora by his mother shortly after his birth. He was found by a travelling blacksmith who took him as his own. Together, they travelled the lands of Kri, Shepherd learning his father's craft, until they were ambushed in Me'Thora by a group of vampires.
They killed his father and kept him as their own personal slave, using his skills as a young blacksmith to craft them whatever they required. At his eighteenth birthday, they decided that they would train him in their arts, and turned him at the age of twenty.
With his newfound strength overwhelming him, he disappeared not long after, only reappearing years later in Kryall. He was taken in by the council and appointed to their secret training facilities in the far west.
Skarlette Feros
Commander of vampire defences in Kryall
A relatively young vampire, Skarlette was born to loving parents in Daera, a city heavily populated by vampires north of Me'Thora. Due to the city's inhabitants, she found a particular fascination with the creatures, and decided quite young that she wanted to become one herself. Denied at the age of thirteen and told she would have to wait, she finally achieved her goal five years later after taking matters into her own hands.
Upon her return to Daera, she was confronted with a werewolf battered city. Her mother had been slain and her father sent insane by infection, killing himself not long after. She ensured all her family's business concerns were taken care of before once again leaving, heading straight for Kryall.
She was welcomed with open arms and quickly appointed to the city guard, rising in the ranks to eventually become commander.
Tarina Syr
Oldest vampire on record
The first records of Tarina are from a document penned in the year two thousand one hundred and seventy three after creation, so it is assumed that she was born within the fifty years prior. Little is known of her, however, so her true age may be much, much older.
She appears in several other documents, as well as reported sightings of vampires, in various towns and cities throughout Kri and beyond, her name and description becoming somewhat of a legend. It was not until the year two thousand three hundred and eighty five after creation that she is noted to have built a structure somewhere between Cenora and Meera Creek that she would use as a sort of safe house.
Her knowledge of the ancients is unknown, as is her intentions regarding their release. It is assumed, however, that she will assist Kryall as she has done in the past in their efforts to keep the tombs sealed.
Willow L'Sterah
Adopted daughter of Rakah L'Sterah
Turned at a very young age, Willow was found by Rakah at the age of ten, alone and fighting desperately with her uncontrollable transformation. She spoke little of her past, choosing only to reveal fragments of her tale to those that she trusted most, finally opening up to Rakah after he spent years teaching her to control her rage.
It is known that her parents were killed in a werewolf attack, but little more has been divulged to the general populace. Rakah took her in as her own, but speaks little of their relationship himself, choosing to keep it private.
Once she felt comfortable with her level of control over her transitions, she chose to join the special guard in Gorahn, training almost exclusively under Marus, before joining her adoptive father's search for the ancient tombs.

DescriptionStar Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is an arcade action game where you take control of the Starship Enterprise. Your mission is to save the Federation from NOMAD! Before you get a chance at destroying NOMAD, you'll have to battle your way through ten levels (each consisting of multiple rounds). In each round you may encounter Klingon fighters, deadly anti-matter saucers, asteroid fields, and deadly meteors, all of which are capable of depleting the Enterprises energy. The game ends when your energy supply has completely run out. To fight these dangers, the Enterprise is equipped with an unlimited supply of phasers and a limited supply of photon torpedoes. Each round also contains one or more starbases; if you dock at a starbase, some of your supplies (such as energy and torpedoes) will be replenished. The game is played from two points of view; the top of the screen contains a third person view of the Enterprise (along with the ships gauges), and on the bottom of the screen is a first person point of view

April 26, 2013, Winnepeg (ISN) – Athletes will begin flying into Winnipeg on Sunday, April. 28th for the 2013 Women's Senior National Team Open Selection Camp.
The camp officially begins on Monday, April. 29th and will run until Thursday, May 2nd at the Investors Group Athletic Centre at the University of Manitoba.

Chippewa 50k 2011 Race Report
Despite me clearly being out of the running for first, I still like eyeing up the men and women and trying to figure out who will win. We had already chatted with Helen Lavin Helen Lavin at our hotel that morning and she seemed like the clear candidate to win the womens' race. She has the female course record and has won the last three years. And then we saw Brian Peterson ,who looked both fit and had the race times to suggest he would win the men's race. But I was secretly hoping SR would surprise everyone and win the artistic rendition of a dissected fish, which was the men's first prize, created by Wynn Davis.
Having gotten up at 4 am, I had found time for a large breakfast and this made the beginning tough. It was also raining a little and cold, which made dressing appropriately a challenge. I had very fortunately received a bunch of awesome Reebok running clothing from Piccola Pinecone, which included the running jacket and pants I wore. Cool stuff. The funny thing was, though, that with the cute pink jacket on, no one could tell I was pregnant.
Which is strange, since it sure seems obvious in this picture from a few hours before the race.
Actually, Ross saw me quickly switch my shirt underneath by the start, revealing my belly, and said "Hey, Sea Legs Girl! I read your blog. I recognize your bump!" He he. I then forgot to even say what my real name was. So he must still think my first name is Sea.
Here is a picture from the rainy, chilly start. You can see Brian Peterson, Helen Lavin and the girl in black all the way to the right was running her first ultra and in Vibrams. Edit: I learned from her comment that she made it to mile 19.5 before her foot was injured. She will certainly be back racing and doing great since she clearly has the right chearful attitude.
After the first mile, I was all the way at the back of the pack, out of breath and feleling crappy. Needless to say, I didn't start out too fast like the rest of the field probably did. Once we got onto nice single track trails in the forest, though, I was in my element. I took it easy, but for nearly the entire first half, I was on track to tie my time from 2008. The was, however a year where the trails were covered with 6 inches of snow. So it made sense my time would be similar. I passed more and more people, which was such a confidence booster.
I should add that this is perhaps the most technical trail race in the Midwest (oops - Helen reminded me of The Superior Hiking Trail races, which I've heard are technical to the extreme). It is not that there is anything completely unrunnable, but you are almost never running on flat land. And the hills are not tiny. Besides this, the trails are very thin and covered with rocks and roots or mud the entire way.
The race is out and back, so that meant I got to see the men's and women's leaders on the way back. And it was very tight in both groups. An unknown woman, who turned out to be Christie Nowak, was in the lead and Helen was actually in 4th, but pretty close behind. The men's race was being led by Brian Peterson, by a narrow margin, and SR was in 6th, but right behind 2nd to 5th. It was a amazing how fast both fields were. I forgot to mention that there were 160 runners, which is a lot for a race on a single track.
Right before the half way point, at around 15 miles, I began thinking my race was over. I started having palpitations. Not just once in a while, but we're talking every other heartbeat and I had a lot of trouble breathing and was afraid I would faint. When I arrived at the aid station, I saw Karen S., who had amazingly been at three aid stations so far. She was a beacon of happiness. I told the workers that I was having palpitations and wondered if they had any electrolyte caps. They rummaged through John Storkamp's drop bag and gave me six (thanks, John!), of which I took two. They reprimanded me for not having taken any so far. I ate and drank a bit and then I was off again. Incredibly, the palpitations were gone and I was back to passing people. I will have to remember to take one or two of those caps when I get palpitations outside of a race.
Then it was just a question of what it was going to be that stopped me from running and, when I did stop, how I would get back to the finish. I know it's a pessimistic attitude, but 31 miles seemed too long in many ways. I was just amazed both my foot and hip weren't giving me problems. Oh and I forgot to mention I had put on the support belt on at the half way point, which was a complete waste and totally irritating. All it did was rub my upper back. It didn't support a thing. And trust me, I readjusted it like 10 times, it wasn't that. I gave it to a spectator, who was heading back to the start.
I put on my music and was still feeling pretty good and had the goal of making it to a marathon. But then, at 18 miles, the contractions started. First mild, but then so painful that I had to take running breaks. By the time they got really strong, at 20 miles, there were two miles form the next aid station. I could run in spurts in the beginning, but then had to just walk. I started getting very cold and my left leg and foot started cramping up. There was absolutely no way to run and walking was very uncomfortable. I talked to people passing me and enjoyed the scenery and my music.
Finally the 22 mile aid station arrived after 5 hours and 15 minutes of being out on the course. The previous director (Rollie?) of the Voyageur trail race was there and took me back to the start. And that was just how the whole day was, aid stations workers and fellow runners willing to help anyone at the drop of a hat.
SR had apparently completed the course exactly an hour before I dropped, in just under 4:15. This was good enough to come in fourth for the men, right in front of fifth and sixth and just behind second and third. The race was won and possibly a course record set (it's down to the second) by Brian Peterson in 3:59.
The women's race was won by Christie Nowak, a cross country skiier from UMD, running her first ultra, in the amazing time of 4:45. Helen came in third in around 5 hours. She was pleased and always has such a good attitude. She said she hasn't trained much at all in six months. Plus she hasn't had time for her Bikram Yoga, and some of you may recall, that is the real secret to her success. Maybe.
There really isn't too much to say about my race. If I had been running ultras since the beginning of the pregnancy, maybe I would have made it further before Braxton Hicks contractions set in, but I'm not sure. I also think part of it was I was having trouble eating or drinking during the race because it just seemed there was no room in my stomach. Dehydration probably brought the contractions on sooner than later. But running for such a long time on such a technical course at 26 weeks is nothing to be ashamed of and, importantly it was really fun until the last couple of miles. PLUS, I'm still not injured! I'm still a pregnant runner and the baby is doing fine. So there was a happy, albeit unimpressive, ending to the attempt at the pregnant ultra.
SR was really pleased with his race and even hinted that he had wished it had been a fifty miler so he could have done better. Hmmm. Gotta admit I'm dreaming of fifty milers, too. Right now, it may not even be in my cards to run a marathon, but I know I'll be back out there in a matter of months competing seriously in 50 milers. For a little while yet, it's a matter of obeying my ever growing, ever changing body, and enjoying that, too.
Here are SR and I on a little hike by Mirror Lake in Wisconsin Dells on the way back to my parents' Easter Morning.
And The Lorax organizing his treasures from our Easter Egg Hunt.

I am glad you stopped when the going got too painful and useless. there are times we just have to do it. Ditto for starting, and ditto for stopping, and even more so for positive attitude. Congrats to SR too.

Wish I could've been there. Glad to hear you took it sensibly.

It was so fun to actually meet you in person!
I am glad you were smart and not hard on yourself. Next time your back in the area give me a shout, maybe we can go for a run.
SR did look pretty good the times i saw him.
Do you think you might have gotten funny looks at the airport with that trophy had he won. :-)

It was good to meet you on Saturday, Sea.
I should have pointed out then that I read your blog less for the tips on running while pregnant and more for the consistently high quality running songs of the day.
So, what were you listening to during those tough miles?
By the way, I too saw SR on his way back. He was looking so strong compared to the other front runners that I thought he still had a good chance to win.

Sounds like you ran smart and made the right decision to stop when you did. Racing while pregnant truly does change your running mentality.
Congrats to SR.

It was great to catch up again in person!! Congrats again to SR. Hope you are both recovering well.
I have to say... The trail was muddy and the constant hills kill me every time but really... "the most technical trail in the Midwest"???? Have you run the Superior Hiking Trail?? :) if not, then we need to arrange a post-pregnancy run in the fall if you're back in town!
Ok. Time for a hot yoga class... :)

It sounds like you ran smart and had a good experience with the race. I'm so impressed with your pregnancy running. Those pics from your hike look so beautiful. I miss Wisconsin. Congrats to SR on his impressive finish. Happy Easter (only a few days late)!

I just realized I had written Christie Nowak's time wrong. Now it is correct at 4:45. And Brian Peterson's time was also slightly off and was 3:59.
Steve, there was actually some chocolate that had already been sorted out by the time of the picture. Normally chocolate alone would be sufficient, but the cool eggs had crappy candy in them.
Ross, the reason I didn't mention the song of the day was I actually just listened to old stuff. I listened to almost all of The Shins' Chutes Too Narrow. I hadn't heard it in a good while.
Karen, I would love to go for a run with you and we will no doubt be back in the area :).
Helen. Dang, I thought about The Superior Hiking trail shortly after I wrote the post and didn't correct it. Sometimes I enjoy being ridiculed for my foolishness. SR and I have just been talking about moving to Duluth some day just so we can enjoy the Superior Hiking Trail on a regular basis.

Hey - well done. Smart to stop. Great that you started. Still in awe of your ability to run distance while preggers.
note to self: giving running clothing that fits me snuggly to a woman 25 weeks pregnant is NEVER going to be good for my ego :)
- 27 April 2011 at 02:42
- SteveQ said...
Have you had "Everyone You Know" by Now, Now as your running song of the day yet?
- 27 April 2011 at 17:23
Hey Sea Legs Girl, great to find your blog! It's the girl in black with the Vibrams writing here. Just wanted to thank you for your encouragement along the way; you are an inspiration! Quick update about my run, I made it to the turnaround before the cutoff and headed back. Unfortunately, I injured my left foot around mile 19.5, and knew it was something I couldn't just run through. I ended up hobbling to mile 21 (the road with the hill) and one of the race coordinators found me and ran ahead to get my friend to pick me up. Even with my foot resting and recovering, I can't wait to run (and hopefully finish!) my next ultra! Hope to see you on the trails again!

Sounds like you had a great time despite all the pain. Enjoy Wisconsin in the springtime. That's my favorite time of year there!
I have a question about compression socks. My mom is pre-diabetic and has swollen, tingly feet. Would compression socks help her feet or do they just help with calf muscles?
- 27 April 2011 at 18:47
- sea legs girl said...
That made me laugh so hard. I never thought of it in that way. The clothing is clearly from a taller, thinner woman (you) but is baggy enough to fit. I certainly wouldn't be offended!
Steve Q, thanks - no I haven't heard that one yet.
BethAnne, oh my gosh. It is so cool that you found my blog! You are totally an inspiration to me. I loved your attitude and smile. Now I will have to correct what I said about you. I must have misjudged the time when I saw you - so cool you made it as far as you did. I hope your foot recovers quickly.
Karen, I'm afraid that compression socks probably wouldn't help with your mom's foot pain since pre-diabetes or diabetes does not cause decreased venous return, but it is the increased sugar in the blood that has a toxic effect on the nerves, causing pain. It is a really hard thing to treat. One natural supplement to consider taking is alpha-lipoic acid, which has been shown to decrease pain in a number of smaller studies.
- 27 April 2011 at 19:49
So great to see you and to meet SR. The time was too short for our visiting, but it I am very happy we found some time. Hope you are both doing well and let us know next time you are in the country!

Texas Shootout Suspect 'Evil Evan' Dies From His Wounds
(FORT WORTH, Texas) -- The man identified as the shooter who opened fired at police in Texas when they pulled him over during a traffic stop Thursday died from his wounds Friday.
Evan Spencer Ebel was involved in a high speed car chase and shootout in Texas, and police were eyeing for the murder of Colorado's prisons chief and a pizza deliveryman earlier in the week. Ebel is a paroled Colorado inmate and white supremacist gang member who signed his name "Evil Evan," sources tell ABC News.
Ebel shot one deputy three times and then started a 100 mph car chase across two Texas counties while continuing to shoot at police on Thursday. The chase ended when the driver was hit by an 18-wheel truck. Ebel emerged from the wreck and kept shooting at cops until he was cut down by return fire, according to Wise County Sheriff David Walker.
Ebel was flown to a hospital in Fort Worth and where he was put on life support. He was pronounced dead Friday. Police and medical examiners are performing an autopsy on Ebel's body.
Ebel, 28, has been in and out of jail the last 10 years, and was a part of the white supremacist prison gang 211 Crew, his friends told ABC News.
He had the word "hopeless" tattooed on his body and signed his name "Evil Evan."
Walker said Friday that police are still investigating whether Ebel committed the Tuesday murder of Colorado prison executive Tom Clements, and are searching through Ebel's vehicle for evidence that might tie him to the Colorado killing.
Clements, 58, was shot and killed at his home. Neighbors told police they saw a black, "box style" car in the neighborhood at the time of the murder. Ebel was driving a black Cadillac with Colorado license plates that match the "box style" description.
Walker said that there is no clear motive for the Texas shootout, but they believe the Cadillac was pulled over as part of a drug stop. They are looking into his affiliation with the prison gang 211 Crew to help explain why he was in Texas.
Police are also investigating whether Ebel was involved in the murder of a pizza delivery man in Denver on Sunday. Texas authorities said evidence found today in the suspect's car -- including a Domino's pizza uniform jacket and a cardboard pizza box -- may link him to the unsolved murder of Nathan Leon, 27, who was killed delivering pizza near Golden, Colo.
Friends of Ebel, who grew up in Wheat Ridge, Colo., told ABC News that he had been depressed and on edge for years. He had been in prison on an assortment of assault, robbery, and menacing charges dating back to 2005, according to jail records.
"He was depressed a lot," Ryan Arici, a friend of Ebel's from Wheat Ridge, told ABC News. "And he was a dark person. His walls were painted black and his windows were blacked out."
Ebel dropped out of school, where he had been in a special education program for "severely impacted" students, and friends said he "lost it" when his sister, Marin Ebel, was killed in a car crash as a teenager in 2004. The death set off a string of criminal behaviors and jail stints for Ebel.
"Everyone was always afraid of Evan. Even the hardest kids were afraid of Evan," one friend told ABC.
Ricky Alengi, another friend from Wheat Ridge, said that Ebel had been doing better upon his latest release from prison. Alengi said he was shocked to find out about the shootout in Texas.
"I thought he was getting better," Alengi said. "He was writing books in prison. His mom and I were going to see him soon."
His father, attorney Jack Ebel, once testified on his behalf in front of the Colorado legislature about prison conditions for mentally ill inmates. He did not immediately return calls for comment.
His mother, Jody Mangue, who now lives in Costa Rica, was distraught over the news of her son, friends said.

People have an irrational hate for the 1980s. It's a decade that gave us tons of bracelets, Alf, neon clothes, and the worm. Delta realizes they were awesome. That's why we have this new video.
Airlines need to be creative to get people to pay attention to their safety videos these days, what with magazine, iPhones, and the fact that even Mayans would know how to use a seatbelt without instruction.
So Delta has gone the 1980s flashback route. And it's stellar.
Hat Tip to @justinhyde!

BMC's Managed Services help simplify IT operations, increase user satisfaction, and improve service quality while reducing operating costs. Our options range from short-term post go-live assistance to long-term application operation and administration of your BMC products.
Day 2 Operations
After implementing new software, it is critical to drive adoption within the first three months of going live. If the solution is not well-accepted within these first few weeks, it is unlikely that the return on investment (ROI) will be fully realized.
Consulting for Day 2 Operations ensures that the solution is stable, provides quick help on trouble tickets, and implements minor refinements to reflect actual customer usage patterns. These collectively speed adoption and enable rapid ROI.
Applications Managed Service (AMS)
AMS provides application administration and support for your specific customizations and integrations, as well as the day-to-day operation of your BMC solutions, allowing you to free up skilled resources to focus on creating more value for your business. With AMS you get:
- Structured service transition: A structured transition phase, which can take from two to six weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of your environments

NEW YORK — Heeeere's Johnny on iTunes!
For the first time, content from "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" is available for digital download.
Starting Tuesday, two volumes of material from the King of Late Night can be purchased from the iTunes store.
A compilation edition (priced at $14.99) includes highlights from the 1960s through Carson's emotional farewell show and his memorable next-to-last show with guest Bette Midler, which aired in 1992.
A second volume ($19.99) features 16 "Tonight" episodes with some of Carson's favorite guests, including Don Rickles, Jay Leno, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Betty White, David Letterman and Ellen DeGeneres in one of her first TV appearances.
Roughly half the material has never been available before in any form of home video, said Jeff Sotzing, president of Carson Entertainment Group, which is releasing the nearly 15 hours collection.
In addition, a selection of 50 "Tonight"-derived alert tones (with such signature catchphrases as "Here's Johnny!", "Hi-yo!" and "We'll be right back") will be available for 99 cents each.
This online release follows the digitization of 4,500 hours of "Tonight" hosted by Carson during his 30-year run on NBC.
Sotzing, a former "Tonight" producer (and Carson's nephew), drew on past experience assembling the "Tonight" anniversary shows in culling material for the new releases.
"I have a pretty good sense of where the nuggets can be found," he said. "We go back and try to find things that are representative of what the show was and that are still entertaining."
And there's plenty more to come.
His dream: to put every show online for instant download. It's an achievable goal, he said, though a slew of legal clearances remain before it can happen.
Meanwhile, visitors to iTunes can expect to find the current Carson content supplemented by more "Tonight" clips as often as each month, Sotzing said.
"We just want to see how much demand there is for these first releases," he said.

Cub Scout Belt Loops & Pins: Art - Music
It is unclear to me how leatherwork is related to the Cub Scout art belt loop or pin. It is far less clear to me how it might be related to the music belt loop or pin. If someone else could clarify this point in the article, I would be most appreciative. Leatherwork is a classic scout craft, and I'm sitting at the dining room table preparing for day camp trying to find a reference to leather work in one of the Cub Scout handbooks.

Central Stop
I'm a web developer who has worked at large agencies for many years. Frustrated with the lack of communication agencies typically have with clients, I left to start a company focused on customer service in addition to the typical services agencies provide. Part of that service is targeted at education, since most clients do not have a full understanding of how technology can best help them reach their customers.
Target audience will be American based companies who need to manage or create an online presence through seo, sem, web design, buzz marketing, social, ad campaigns, etc. The marketing directors are the most likely targets for the education piece. The Central Stop brand is focused around a train stop metaphor, where everything converges.
I require a double sided business card with logo to represent my interactive business: Central Stop.
The business card will serve a dual purpose to provide my contact details and also to promote the benefits of Central Stop.
Details to be contained on the card include;
* Business Name: Central Stop, Name: Jeff Owens CEO, Phone and Fax Number: 800.656.7045, email address: email@example.com, web address: http://www.centralstop.com.
Ideas (feel free to come up with something else than below):
* The London Underground sign was a design starting point I considered for the logo: http://bit.ly/9WtYi
Other Specs:
* Professional looking with room to be creative
* The typeface should be clear, simple and easily understood.
* Please feel free to experiment with colors.
* The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
*SIZE - 3.5 x 2 inches, 10up on an A4 page preferable with minimum 1/8 inch bleed and cut marks (ex. AI template: http://bit.ly/5v7JO)
*Prefer file in Adobe Illustrator CS3, with record of fonts noted for future reference in case minor changes are needed and type converted to outlines.

Mahoney's first homer trumped by Cubs' shots
MIAMI -- Joe Mahoney, an intriguing rookie first baseman, displayed the power the Marlins have been looking for from their cleanup spot.

MIAMI -- Joe Mahoney, an intriguing rookie first baseman, displayed the power the Marlins have been looking for from their cleanup spot.
Unfortunately for Miami, it was the Cubs' left-handed hitting first baseman who made the biggest difference.View Full Game Coverage
Anthony Rizzo connected on a pair of two-run home runs that propelled the Cubs to a 4-2 win over the Marlins on Friday night in front of 16,017 at Marlins Park.
On a night Mahoney belted his first big league homer, it wasn't enough to prevent the Marlins from dropping the first two of their four-game set with the Cubs.
Scoring runs has been a struggle all season, and Miami has just 59 in 23 games, which keeps it on pace for the lowest April total in club history. To see Mahoney come through with the club's seventh homer was encouraging.
"We've all seen the power," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "It was nice to see him put it together in a game. That's what we're looking for out of him. He's kind of a wild card. He's never been given an opportunity. He's getting a chance to go out there and put together some at-bats. Hopefully he will make the most of it. We'll see how it all shakes out."
Marlins lefty Wade LeBlanc (0-4) surrendered both blasts to Rizzo, a South Florida native from Parkland.
In six-plus innings, LeBlanc gave up four runs on eight hits.
Chicago right-hander Scott Feldman (1-3) yielded two runs, including a homer to Mahoney, in 6 2/3 innings.
At 6-foot-6, 245 pounds, Mahoney is getting a long look at first base. In the fourth inning, he showed some pop with his home run to right field. The drive, estimated at 423 feet, came on Mahoney's 23rd at-bat of the season and the 27th of his career.
"In the heat of the battle, I was thinking, we're three down at this point," Mahoney said. "I'll reflect more on it, probably tonight. It's starting to sink in. It's good to get that first one out of the way, to settle in. I've been waiting to get that one for a while now. It's definitely a good feeling."
Mahoney received the baseball from a fan, exchanging a signed hat and signed bat.
But it was Rizzo who struck first for the Cubs.
Mahoney is well acquainted with Rizzo. In the past when he was in the Orioles' system, Mahoney played against the Chicago first baseman.
"I played against Rizz coming up when he was in the Red Sox [organization]," Mahoney said. "I've known him for a few years now. He's a pretty good hitter. He's definitely got that power swing. It was fun. But he came out on top tonight."
Rizzo enjoyed the second multi-homer game of his career. He previously accomplished the feat on Sept. 16, 2012, against the Pirates.
Rizzo enjoyed a three-hit, two-homer night in front of his family and friends. He had his big game after striking out three times on Thursday.
"There were a lot of people here, friends and family, and a lot of people I don't even know are here supporting me," Rizzo said. "It feels good. Last night was a little embarrassing, but to come back today and get the win in front of everyone that's here feels really good."
Rizzo and the Cubs struck first against LeBlanc, whose first-inning struggles continued. The left-hander's first pitch was lined by Dave Sappelt for a single, and with one out, Rizzo belted a two-run homer to right-center.
"At some point, I have to figure out something to do to give these guys a shot," LeBlanc said. "I can't keep forcing these guys to try to hit from behind from the very first inning. I've got to figure out how to get three outs and give these guys a chance to get a lead for us, relax and play with the lead. This is four out of five now that I've given up runs in the first inning. It can't keep going like that."
In the third inning, Rizzo struck again with a two-run blast, this time unloading a home run to right field. To LeBlanc's credit, he was able to work into the seventh inning on a night that could have been disastrous.
"Give LeBlanc a lot of credit," Redmond said. "He battled. What looked like could have been a short night for him turned into a grind. He gave us some innings, which was nice. It saved our bullpen. But he went out there and pitched. He didn't give up. He didn't quit. He kept fighting."
Miami closed the gap to 4-2 in the seventh inning on Chris Valaika's sacrifice fly to left, which scored Rob Brantly, who walked. Chris Coghlan doubled in the inning off Feldman after the righty walked pinch-hitter Austin Kearns with two on and two out. But a chance for more was thwarted when lefty reliever James Russell retired Juan Pierre on a flyout to left.
Now 5-18, the Marlins are in danger of having their lowest win total in April. The club was 6-17 in April 1999, and 6-16 in the month in 2006.
"I think we have to stay positive," Redmond said. "If they see me panic, that puts more pressure on everybody else. I'm not that way. We keep talking to these guys. We keep talking about approach and at-bats. Stay positive.
"That's me. Some people may say, 'You shouldn't do that.' But I've found that over the course of time, when you stay positive with guys and you keep patting them on the back, it's all going to come together."

Doctor Robert The Beatles Tribute Band
Doctor Robert, The Beatles Tribute band from Crested Butte, CO, is proud to share a video from 5/24/14 at Dickens Opera House in Longmont, CO. Enjoy…
Aspen Wedding, Live Music Entertainment
Doctor Robert, The Beatles tribute from Crested Butte, Colorado, traveled to The Limelight to play our first Aspen wedding last Friday. We can't thank Anne and Cole enough for having us for the live music entertainment for their amazing wedding reception, and for helping pick songs for the night. Over 100 people were part of the celebration, and did they know how to enjoy themselves. Even staff members were enjoying the music, and everyone made their way to the dance floor for the after-dinner dance sets.
We started out playing more acoustic, quieter music during dinner. This gave us a chance to ease into the evening, and play a lot of songs that don't normally make the set list at other shows. Here are a few from the dinner set:
Here Comes the Sun 10-5-12
I'm Looking Through You 10-5-12
I'm Only Sleeping 10-5-12
Bungalow Bill 10-5-12
Michelle 10-5-12 (Casey on bass, Kevin on guitar)
Mother Nature's Son 10-5-12 (Ben on keys, Kevin on Guitar)
I Will 10-5-12 (Casey on bass, Kevin on guitar)
Things We Said Today 10-5-12
We Can Work it Out 10-5-12 (Only the third time played by Doctor Robert)
After dinner brought out the best in everyone's dancing and singing abilities. We loved watching everything unfold, as the dance moves only got better the longer we played. Had it not been for the 10:00 hotel curfew, we probably could have played all night. Here are some songs from the dance sets:
Day Tripper 10-5-12
Drive My Car 10-5-12
Hello Goodbye 10-5-12
Help! 10-5-12
I Feel Fine 10-5-12
I Shoulda Known Better 10-5-12 (Casey on harmonica)
I Want to Hold Your Hand 10-5-12
I've Got a Feeling 10-5-12
Lady Madonna 10-5-12 (Karen's first live performance on piano)
Money (That's What I Want) 10-5-12
One After 909 10-5-12 (Karen's first live performance on piano)
Strawberry Fields Forever 10-5-12
Twist and Shout 10-5-12
With a Little Help From My Friends 10-5-12
Thanks again goes out to Anne and Cole for having Doctor Robert as the live music entertainment for their Aspen wedding. We enjoyed their fun group of family and friends as well as The Limelight (an Aspen Ski Company hotel) and their staff.

A thinker ahead of his time:
LCU remembers James D. Strauss
Send a link to a friend
27, 2014]
In 1962, an article entitled
"Race, Redemption and Responsibility" appeared in the February
edition of the Christian Standard, a Christian periodical in print
since 1866. The article claimed it would be difficult to find any
clear evidence that any one race is distinct and superior. It was
published during the civil rights movement, one of the most volatile
times of national division in America since the Civil War, and was
written by a 33-year-old scholar named James Dean Strauss.
Strauss died recently, on March 19,
but hundreds of family members, friends, colleagues and students
have been paying their respects to the beloved professor through
visits, phone calls, email and social media.
Strauss served as professor of theology and philosophy from 1967
to 1994 at Lincoln Christian Seminary, now part of Lincoln Christian
For years, his intellectual capacity and wide academic interests
amazed both his students and his colleagues. Those who knew him
understood that his mental energies always pointed toward fulfilling
the mission of Christ in the world. His appetite concerning the Word
and world of God was insatiable as he wrote extensively in books,
articles, papers and presentations. He once taught 47 courses in a
single academic year, and it was said that his course summaries were
100 pages long.
Strauss graduated from Butler University and Christian
Theological Seminary in Indianapolis (BA, MA, MDiv) and the Chicago
Graduate School of Theology (ThM). He received a Doctor of Ministry
in 1975 from Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, where he
majored in contemporary theology. He studied with the late Francis
Schaeffer in Switzerland and took additional work at the University
of Strasbourg in France, Tubingen University in West Germany, the
University of Chicago Divinity School and the Institute of Christian
Studies in Toronto, Canada.
In a speech to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1998, Bill
Redmond, an LCU alumnus and then representative for the state of New
Mexico, called attention to Dr. Strauss' recognition from LCU as
professor emeritus. Distinguishing Strauss as "one of America's
living treasures," Redmond went on to note that the honor of
"emeritus" was one that Strauss "in his humility, would deny that he
has earned," and yet his "vigor and quest for service to God will no
doubt give new meaning to the word emeritus."
Strauss was described by many to be the "Einstein" of the
Restoration Movement, a Christian movement for unity that began in
the early 19th century under the leadership of Barton Stone, Thomas
Campbell and Alexander Campbell. The Restoration Movement promotes
world evangelism by practicing church unity based upon the
restoration of biblical authority and the essential elements of New
Testament Christianity.
Strauss was a scholar and proponent of Christian apologetics, the
branch of theology concerned with the defense and proof of
Christianity. A collection of essays was published in Strauss' honor
in 1997, entitled "Taking Every Thought Captive," a life theme of
his, based on 2 Corinthians 10:5.
"What many discovered," wrote the editors and contributors, Drs.
John Castelein and Richard Knopp, "was that for Dr. Strauss, it did
not matter whether it was theology, anthropology, archaeology,
psychology, sociology, biology, epistemology, logic, law ... it was
all apologetics."
Strauss has been credited with introducing the concept of a
"biblical worldview" years before it became a common phrase in
Christian academic circles.
[to top of second column]
A living testament to the scope and depth of his apologetics and
worldview is the Strauss Institute at Lincoln Christian University.
The institute sponsors lectureships each October to reinforce
Strauss' convictions by inviting some of the finest minds in the
Christian arena to address a variety of disciplines in the
marketplace of ideas and the Christian response to them.
Through his life and teaching, Strauss' influence has spread
both generationally and geographically.
Stephen Collins, interim dean of students and professor of Bible,
knew Strauss for nearly five decades. "There are thousands like me,"
he said. "We are day care workers and university presidents. We are
local preachers and world evangelists. We have written books and
started institutions. We have fed hungry children and taken care of
the elderly. We have ministered in the halls of Congress in
Washington, D.C., and the slums of Nairobi and Port Au Prince. We
minister around the world. We have started new churches and
faithfully preached in the oldest congregations in the nation. We
have started mission works all over the world and yet served right
here where we first met him. We have taken on the world with the
Word as he taught us."
A roster of LCU leaders bearing Strauss' mark would include men
and women like Castelein, professor of contemporary theology, who
said he was immediately comforted by "the person of Dr. James
Strauss because he understood my questions ... and knew the
resources to begin constructing answers."
Dr. Dinelle Frankland, seminary academic dean and professor of
worship, called Strauss "an immense intellectual with a big heart."
Knopp, professor of philosophy and Christian apologetics, summed
Strauss' impact to be "incalculable," while Dr. Robert Rea,
professor of church history and historical theology, believed
Strauss to be "foundational to LCU, and especially to the seminary."
Amid the unending appreciation and praise of his work and
ministry, Strauss lived contentedly with his wife, Jewel, for 60
years. Their union gave them two daughters, Joye and Jeaneen, both
graduates of LCU, married, and living in the Illinois communities of
Ashley and Lincoln, respectively. Jeaneen is the wife of LCU
President Keith Ray, who is retiring from higher education at the
end of May.
Jim Strauss was loved for his quick and lively sense of humor, a
trait he used to his advantage as he engaged and awed his students
and audiences for nearly 60 years.
In the months following the Strauss article on "Race, Redemption
and Responsibility," riots raged, the Freedom Riders were attacked
by mobs, and buses and churches burned. A man named Wilt Chamberlain
made history by becoming the only NBA player to ever score 100
points in a single game. That's what many will remember about 1962.
But a few Christians may remember a two-part article by a
forward-thinking young scholar who challenged them regarding the
cultural climate of their day: "This is one area in which we are
daily being put to the test. Shall we succeed or shall we fail?"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- The Pentagon snubbed an Iranian warning not to return a U.S. aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, saying Washington will operate there as it has for decades.
The U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered supercarrier John C. Stennis will operate in the region to maintain security and stability, Pentagon spokesman George Little said after Iran's army commander in chief told Washington the carrier, which left the Persian Gulf through the strategic Strait of Hormuz last week, should not return.
"We recommend to the American warship that passed through the Strait of Hormuz and went to Gulf of Oman not to return to the Persian Gulf," Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi was quoted by Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency as saying.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will not repeat its warning," Salehi said.
He did not say what Iran would do if the 100,000-ton carrier -- which leads a strike group of five warships -- re-entered the Persian Gulf.
Little rebuffed the warning, saying such "regularly scheduled movements," including through the Strait of Hormuz, would carry on unabated.
"Our interest is in safe and secure maritime passage for ships transiting the strait," Little said, adding the United States operates under international maritime conventions to maintain "a constant state of high vigilance to ensure the continued safe flow of maritime traffic in waterways critical to global commerce."
Roughly a fifth of all the crude oil traded worldwide passes through the narrow strait.
"Our transits of the Strait of Hormuz continue to be in compliance with international law, which guarantees our vessels the right of transit passage," he said.
"No one in this government seeks confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz," Little added. "It's important to lower the temperature."
He recommended Iran "devote its energy and resources to establishing friendly relations with countries in the Gulf region."
Iran's economy, battered by Western sanctions over its nuclear program -- which U.S. and European officials allege is to build nuclear weapons -- received another hit Saturday when U.S. President Barack signed a bill that could penalize buyers of Iranian oil.
Iran, the world's No. 3 energy exporter, relies on oil exports to finance as much as half its national budget.
It also insists its nuclear goal is to generate electricity without dipping into the oil supply Iran would prefer to sell abroad, and to provide fuel for medical reactors.
The European Union said it would consider imposing its own strict new sanctions against Iran, including an embargo on Iranian oil, this month. France Tuesday urged the EU to adopt the stricter sanctions.
EU countries receive 450,000 barrels a day of Iranian oil.
Oil prices remained near the highest price in almost eight months Wednesday after rising more than 4 percent Tuesday to settle on the New York Mercantile Exchange at $102.96 a barrel.
The Iranian currency, the rial, plunged to a record low against the U.S. dollar, reportedly triggering a run on banks by Iranians anxious to convert their savings into dollars before the exchange rate worsens.

David Young held on $50,000 bail
A custodian at Stoddard's Town Hall has been arrested and accused of sexually assaulting a child, and police said more charges are possible.
David Young, 47, was charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault of a child and is being held on $50,000 bail.
Little information has been revealed in the case. State police said they received a report of a child being abused, and Young was arrested two days later. All documents in the case have been sealed.
Stoddard is a small town where everyone seems to know everyone else, so Young was familiar to many residents. Many in town told News 9 that he kept to himself but never struck them as the sort of person who would do what he's been accused of.
Residents said Young has a rough exterior, but they believed he was a good person. One person told News 9 that Young had a heart of gold.
Neighbors said he had gone through a difficult divorce. No one answered the door at his home where neighbors said he lives with his children.
Along with his custodial work in town, Walmart confirmed that Young is an associate at its Keene store. He has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
Sources told News 9 that during the holiday season, Young sometimes played Santa Claus at that Walmart. His neighbors said they had heard the same, saying it was something he had enjoyed doing for a few years.
Young is scheduled to appear in court next week.

Pakistani officials publicly demand an end to U.S. drone strikes but have secretly endorsed them for years, a Washington Post report says, citing CIA documents.
The Post said the "top-secret" CIA files and Pakistani diplomatic memos show that while Pakistan's government -- as recently as Wednesday -- demanded an end to drone strikes in Pakistan it has been backing the program for years and routinely received classified briefings on strikes and casualty counts.
The latest demand that the program stop came from Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who met with U.S. President Barack Obama Wednesday in Washington. Sharif said the drone strikes "have deeply disturbed and agitated our people" and that the issue has become a major irritant in Pakistan-U.S. relations.
The Post said the documents describe dozens of drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal region and include maps and before-and-after aerial photos of targeted compounds from 2007 to late 201 when the campaign was at its peak.
The report said the documents' markings indicate that "many of them were prepared by the CIA Counter-terrorism Center specifically to be shared with Pakistan's government."
The documents point to the success of a strike in killing dozens of alleged al-Qaida operatives while saying no civilians were harmed, the report says.
The Post said Pakistan's tacit approval of the drone program has been one of the more poorly kept national security secrets in Washington and Islamabad. It said in the early stages of the campaign the CIA even used Pakistani airstrips for its Predator fleet.
The report said the files reveal the explicit nature of a secret arrangement between the two countries although neither has been willing to publicly acknowledge the existence of the drone program. It said the documents deal with at least 65 strikes in Pakistan and were described as "talking points" for CIA briefings.
The documents are marked "top secret" but cleared for release to Pakistan.
The report said a Pakistani Embassy spokesman in Washington did not respond to a request for comment. A CIA spokesman declined to discuss the documents but did not dispute their authenticity, the Post said.
