Form Java and realtime signal processing a paradox?
Should one use C++ instead of java?
The basic idea is this:
1 get a sound into the comp (mic)
2 convert A -> D
3 do something with this (this part should be real fast)
4 convert D -> A
4 get it out (loudspeaker)
point 3 could be written n a low level language
linked to Java. These small code fragments do
the actual sound calculation but are managed
by the (slower) java application
how realistic is this?

Fox 6 sports in Milwaukee reported that ESPN is reporting that Favre is leaning toward rejecting the offer on the table from the Packers primarily because it doesn't allow him to play. I heard this very early this morning because my son got up super early – not a welcome fact considering that I partook in significant imbification last night, if you will.
Favre leaning toward rejecting offer?

I'm leaning against retiring **primarily** because that means I can't play football.

Great, looks like I sent Andy down to imbibification last night, and I also ended up waking far too early, but my reasons were more self-inflicted (damn late-night eating!). Good times though, and it was cool to see everybody.
Can the Pack just send Brett for a conditional second-day pick? I don't even care if the trade is to the Vikings right now. Just end this stupidity- everyone looks bad, and I'd rather worry about the Brewers right now.
And for the moderators, this is my email if my fan club wishes to contact me. Keep up the good work.

After the results of the election became clear, Eric Hartsburg was "totally disappointed," and not just because he'd been showing his support for Mitt Romney so strongly.
Hartsburg, an independent wrestler from Indiana, got a tattoo of the Romney campaign's double "R" logo on the right side of his face at the behest of a winning eBay bid.
Now, he says he wants the ink gone, but not because Romney failed to unseat President Obama. Hartsburg told Politico he only decided to remove it after he heard Romney's post-election comments about Obama giving "gifts" to his supporters.
"It stands not only for a losing campaign but for a sore loser," Hartsburg said. "He's pretty shameful as far as I'm concerned, man. There's no dignity in blaming somebody else for buying votes and paying off people. I can't get behind that or stay behind that."
Hartsburg said he accepted an offer from tattoo removal chain Dr. TATTOFF, after initially turning them down, to remove the "R" tattoo for free.
Perhaps Hartsburg will change his mind again after Thursday's lunch meeting between President Obama and Romney, in which the former opponents will attempt to mend fences after a brutal campaign.

At first glance the Ritchey Break-Away® Pro looks like any road bike, but on closer examination there's good reason for calling it a "Break-Away."
The frame comes apart at the seat tube for easy breakdown and transport in a soft travel bag, which comes with the bike, as does the Ritchey headset.
I heard about the bike several years ago and remember watching the video on assembly and disassembly. It seemed interesting at the time, but I wasn't in the market for a new bike. It turns out Dave Prion, manager at Bicycle Outfitter, and cycling commentator Bruce Hildenbrand also ride Break-Aways. I decided to take the plunge.
My past 24 years was spent riding the same road bike, built by Dale Saso, and using ancient Campagnolo parts. I was ready to join the 21st century. I could have had a bike custom-built, but the Break-Away intrigued me, not only for the transportability, but also because I wanted to try a carbon-fiber fork.
The original Break-Away came with a steel fork, but now uses a carbon-fiber fork and steer column. The rest of the bike is steel with fillet-brazed joints. I debated using a steel fork, but decided to see if carbon-fiber would hold up and if the ride was noticeably different.
After buying the bike at Bicycle Outfitter I settled on Shimano Ultegra components and Shimano Ultegra hubs with Mavic Open Pro 36-hole rims. I chose a 50-34 chainwheel and 11-25 freewheel, which gave me a wider range of gears than I had on the old bike (52-42 and 14-24).
Once I had all the parts and bike, Bicycle Outfitter kindly let me assemble it in their shop, although Dave and shop mechanic Kenny Ellis did almost everything. I could assemble and disassemble my old bike, but this was all new technology and I had no clue.
I would not recommend doing assembly yourself, especially when it comes to the headset and steer column sizing.
I had to be fit for the bike and after 20 years living with the same setup I was due for a major change. I needed a much shorter, higher stem. This change is mostly due to old age.
The carbon fiber fork needs to be cut and while it's easy to cut with a hacksaw, you need to know exactly what length the fork column needs to be, which depends on the type of headset and how high you want your stem. The worst thing that could happen is to cut the column too short.
Carbon-fiber forks use a unique clamp in place of the star nut found on threadless headsets with steel fork columns. Understanding how this works is important to maintain the carbon-fiber fork's integrity.
Assembly took about four hours with me getting in the way. I also needed to learn about the ins and outs of assembly and disassembly of the frame for transport. More on that later…

Elder Upton looks to recapture hitting stroke
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Braves clubhouse grew a little more crowded on Sunday morning when the Upton brothers arrived to work out with the other position players who have made early arrivals to Spring Training this year.
While Justin Upton will be looking to build on what was a productive first season in Atlanta, his older brother, B.J., will spend the next few weeks preparing for a season that he hopes will be much different than last year.
Burdened by the pressure created by the five-year, $75.25 million contract he signed the previous offseason, Upton hit .184 with nine home runs and a .557 OPS, which ranks as the fourth-lowest mark by any Braves player since the club moved to Atlanta in 1966.
Though last year proved to be miserable, the elder Upton maintained a good attitude and displayed a work ethic was routinely lauded by his teammates and coaches. Manager Fredi Gonzalez and hitting coach Greg Walker have been encouraged with what they have heard and seen from the 29-year-old outfielder over the past month.
"I got to spend a little bit of time with him in the outfield," Gonzalez said. "His spirits are good, which I didn't expect anything else."
Walker kept in touch with B.J. during the winter and traveled to Tampa to watch him hit during the latter portion of January. The veteran hitting coach's optimism is fueled by the fact that he does not believe there is a need to make significant adjustments.
"When he broke into the league, he was a lot more efficient with his swing and body movements," Walker said. "We just want him to get back to being B.J. Upton. Over my years of experience -- and that's a lot of years -- this is a lot different than going in and telling a guy we have to throw everything out and start over."

Unintentionally Delayed, Must Read Update!
Hello, my lovelies! It has come to my attention that a lot of you think that The Vigil Idiot has been dead for a while. This is simply not true! The comic has been more active than ever these past few months! Just, not on this site… I figured that it shouldn't really matter where the comics are posted, right?
Only, it does matter, if I forget to mention where the new ones are going to be posted. I know, I know! My bad, you guys! I blame my own laziness. However, better late & all that, yes? Here's a list of all the new comics you might have missed because of my dumbassery:
Now, while I promise to be good & start cross-posting the comics here like I shoulda all these months, it might be a good idea for you to 'Like' The Vigil Idiot page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/thevigilidiot), or follow me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/SahilRiz) to keep yourself updated. Not to shift blame or anything, but why weren't you doing that already? Jerks.

There seems to be a widespread notion among mariners that class B signals will create too much noise and clutter on displays, so it needs to be turned off. I have even seen this attitude among single handers sailing small craft.
Large carriers have great difficulty seeing small boats because they are so high off the water. At a distance, small boats do not show up against larger waves. Up close, small boats may fall in the visual shadow of the ship. On radar, a small craft may appear to be sea clutter. Class B AIS is the most effective method of avoiding the rundown of small vessels by large carriers. Please don't turn it off.

Here is another sports logo for all you football fans out there that are Tennessee Titans fans. Up next, we will learn "how to draw the Tennessee Titans logo", step by step. I have to say, out of all the logos I have drawn, this is one of my favorite. I think it's because of the large sword with the over sized blade. This football team are members of the NFL's South Division of the American Football Conference. They have been a team since 1960, and they are based out of Nashville. The mascot for the Tennessee Titans is T-Rac, and some of their players both past and present are Chris Johnson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kenny Britt, Jake Locker and others. There is actually a story on Locker which can be found on ESPN's website. Drawing the Titans logo is going to be wicked so enjoy. I will be back soon folks so stay tuned in.

Dan Burke is an award-winning author, writer, and speaker on Catholic spirituality. He has written and/or edited nine books on faithful Catholic spirituality and is the President and Chief Operating Officer of EWTN News, Inc. Dan is the president of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, and the creator of Divine Intimacy Radio and SpiritualDirection.com.
We are in a particularly important time as faithful Catholics as the election cacophony swirls around us. Which voices do we listen to? How do we know who's telling the truth? And what version of what's supposedly true do we follow? How do we sort out the many decisions we have to make and the parameters we should be using to make them?
The process we use could be one of quick judgment, of liking X or Z, of being in line with Y or Q. We might let someone else make the decision for us and just tow a party line. In fact, there are many approaches, but which among our defaults is a truly Catholic approach, one that will bring us closer to God's will for our lives and our country?
So often, we are quick to complain that God's not listening to us and not sending us the help we need when and how we need it. Maybe the problem isn't God. Maybe the problem is us. Father Mitch Pacwa's recent book, How to Listen When God Is Speaking (Word Among Us Press), points us to the Ignatian model of discernment and spirituality. Father Mitch maintains that listening to God requires a set of skills that we need to learn. There's not a switch to flip, as there is on our mp3 players and smartphones.
Consider what Ignatius termed consolations. Father Mitch explains, "Consolation is experienced with tears of sorrow as a person meditates on the depths of God's love manifested in the sufferings of Christ." He maintains that without being "aflame with love of [our] Creator and Lord" we will not fully be able to experience the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives. This love affects our attitude toward everything else in our lives, including the possession of things or the pleasure derived from them, instead of the love of them for their own sake.
Experiencing consolation leads us to a change in attitude and also a "strong emotional response to the realities of the spiritual life." You don't cry over your sins when you think they're no big deal, but when you see their consequence and the way they separate you from God, you can't help but be moved. "Consolation is experienced with tears of sorrow as a person meditates on the depths of God's love manifested in the sufferings of Christ."
Ignatius describes desolation, on the other hand, as the opposite of consolation. "The soul feels sluggish, slothful, sad, and separated from God. The spiritual life is tepid or lukewarm and does not bring joy or peace."
Using the rules of discernment is a great help for listening to God and determining if what we hear is, in fact, really God's voice. Father Mitch takes you on a journey through them and teaches you to use them in every area of your life. After reading this book, you should be equipped to not only sift through the clamor of election voices, but also to determine whether the voice you hear is your own or actually God's.

A look at the Qatar Sustainability Expo – more than green-washing
After driving by artificial islands, sprawling construction, and manicured gardens in the desert, it would be easy to approach the Qatar Sustainability Expo with some skepticism. However, after a closer look at this country, one can see a very real problem that regional governments and companies are trying to solve. Sustainability for Qatar and the region is more than a buzzword. It is a necessity.
Qatar's vulnerable future
The pavilion, like all things United Nations, was massive. At the center of the hall was a hospitality tent in the shape of the Zubara Fort, built in 1938 and most recently a station for the coast guard. The Expo's free food provided our class with sustenance throughout the day when overpriced conference center food was not an…
Obama's Second Term – The World Awaits Much Needed Leadership on Climate Change
by William (Niancen) Miao
in UNFCCC, COP 18 – Doha
"We want our children to live in an America that […] isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet." Many still remember this brief, yet hopeful and encouraging moment during Obama's acceptance speech after his re-election in November. Observers hoped that Obama and his administration would bring much needed leadership from the top in addressing climate change issues during the UNFCCC COP18 Summit in Doha. Yet, the conference is now done and dusted, and the United States was again among the array of developed countries to block the progress with an unwillingness to commit to collective mitigation and adaptation goals. In fact, the second largest emitter has since scored not one, but four of the Fossil of the Day "Awards" civil society doles out after each day of…

Provision of water to households in Bangalore, India's sixth largest city and my parents'home city, is at best erratic and at worst non-existent. The state owned water and sewerage works department, BWSSB supplies water to the city's 8.45 million inhabitants. The supply runs (or trickles in, especially during the summer months) for only a few hours every day and for a few days a week. The volume of water delivered per day totals 0.34 billion gallons. New York City delivers 1.2 billion gallons of water per day to its 8…
Last Words of Advice on Preparing Your Application
I recently asked Sarah, our Student Assistant, to write up some last words of advice to those of you putting the finishing touches on your applications. The biggest thing that we want you to walk away with is the idea that the application is many parts to a whole. Therefore, each piece should tell part of a cohesive story as to who you are. The personal statement is probably the best way to pull everything together for us. This is what Sarah had to say (and I'd second all of her advice!):
Ask two new people to read over your personal statement. First, find someone who has applied and been accepted to the program. Then ask another person, whom you respect, but is not a close friend. This close…
Interview with the Latvian delegation @ COP18
I arrived for the second week of the COP18 to replace David Emmerman and Kathryn Wright to continue our project with the Latvian NGO homo ecos:. The goal of this project was simple, to get progress updates from working groups on matters that are important to Latvia. These updates were then disseminated to the broader public via a social media campaign (@LatviaCOP18Chat).
Unfortunately, I only had observer status and was not able to attend most of the important meetings. But the updates on the progress made in the three tracks were still accessible from tweets and emails at the COP. In fact, everyday there was more information coming in than one person could handle. Sorting through all the information, picking and choosing messages was difficult and time consuming. Thus, from…
Featured Alum: Matt Strausser and…Space Cows?
by Emily Schosid
in Admissions, Alumni
Hello again, FES Blog readers! Emily again with latest from the Admissions Office.
Applications are trickling in, just before the dam breaks and the flood of just-before-the-deadline applications hits us. Looking forward to the reading season—cozying up with a cup of tea (maybe some hot chocolate?) and some applications, it's almost like a good book.
This week, I've brought another recent alum to the spotlight, Matt Strausser, MEM '12. We sat down to talk about his time at FES and what he's doing now, which, like many of our alums, is pretty awesome.
Emily: So, Matt, what do you do these days?

Emily: Why would a space center need a…
What's going on at the China Corner in the COP18? Eye-catching performances showing China's connumdrum
The Chinese government again put up an elaborate China Pavilion in the COP18 Climate Change Conference in Doha. Everyday is filled up with fanfares of side-events and ceremonies from dawn to dusk. Despite the heavy dose of corporate footprint in the China Pavilion and official statements on China's climate achievements, these presentations and performance in some ways reflect China's strategic positions and dilemmas in negotiating for climate and advancing its economic development.
China Sold-out?
Since the Durban climate summit, China National Petroleum Company (CNPC) has been sponsoring the China Pavilion activities. This year, CNPC gave 1 million Chinese yuan (160,000 USD), which explains the subtle and quite ornate addition of CNPC's logo at the bottom of the China Pavilion banner (picture left). CNPC is the largest oil and gas producer…
Second Time Around: Reflections from COP17 to COP18
For a week I have been trying to put my finger on the cause of the fog that I feel at COP18.
Durban felt better than Doha. There is a lingering feeling that something vital is missing, and I'm sorry to say that I am underwhelmed because of it. To be fair, last year was my first COP, and there's always something extra special about the initiation experience because the future experiences tend to have diminishing returns.
I'm not jaded, but definitely hoping for something more and not finding it. Perhaps it is because we are a few months out from Rio+20, and there is a "big conference fatigue" amongst the crowd at the end of 2012. Maybe I'm just disinclined to sift through the rhetoric of the…
"we are all neighbors with joined doors" climate justice & the UNFCCC
Wednesday, December 5th: deep within the bizarre landscape of minarets, oil refineries that stretch out into the sandy horizon, and a wildly ad hoc, opulent, and strangely 1970's-going-on-the-future skyline, the annual UNFCCC conference moves along in its second week. In these last days of COP 18, much still remains open and on the table. It appears that there will be a second commitment period to the KP, but what will it look like? Progress on the Durban Platform inches forward – but will any solid groundwork be laid for the 2015 climate agreement? Overall, ambition throughout this COP has been extremely low…
CROWDSOURCING ACCOUNTABILITY: DECISIONMAKR RANKINGS Day 7 – WHO'S ON THE BOTTOM?
By Yiting Wang and Angel Hsu
DecisionMakr welcomes you back to the final week of the Doha climate conference. Brief showers of rare rain cleared up the afternoon sky on Saturday, but the battle goes on. As the second week of the Doha climate talks begin, ministers from around the world are arriving, which means the stakes of the negotiations have automatically been raised. Most of the technical discussions (Subsidiary Bodies, etc.) have concluded, and delegations are working overtime to shape up the text for their ministers to hammer out remaining details. Many people especially the youth constituencies welcomed that the Subsidiary Bodies of Implementation adopted the Doha Work Programme on Article 6 of the Convention, which addresses climate change education and garners support and broader participation, including from…

Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake
Posted 23 April 2011 - 09:05 AM
I had a conversation the other night and the above article is the result. I sat down and thought what I would want a potential Halo remake to do right (and maybe wrong).
Agree, disagree or have anything to add that I missed? What are your thoughts on the potential issue?
Posted 23 April 2011 - 02:12 PM
Posted 23 April 2011 - 04:53 PM
Yeah, short notice work with the font. I doubt I'll ever use it again.
Perhaps slightly off topic, but the Haloesque font you used for the separate topics is really bothersome.
Posted 24 April 2011 - 07:08 AM
Posted 25 April 2011 - 12:53 PM
I think the multiplayer will be left out. If they were to put it in, I would really love it if it was exactly the same with only system link and the option to go 16 players where everyone can have their own screen. The reality is that this game doesn't work well online, and it would be really bad to segment the population away from Halo Reach so it's just not worth it.
Not really sure I agree with no multiplayer. There were a lot of gamers that jumped into Halo only went into multiplayer like they do today. Leaving such a feature out would be a massive mistake.
I for one would be very upset if the game was changed at all or re-done with a different engine. I would love Halo 1 with just up-res'd graphics and achievements. We've never been able to play this game with even just widescreen graphics on the xbox so it would be awesome to do it now.

It's not crazy when you consider that the game doesn't work reliably online. Taking the exact game and code online would be a waste and a disappointment if it didn't work for everyone the way we expect online games to work in 2011.
No online multiplayer? That's crazy talk. Beyond crazy, actually. Especially for the reasons given. If a decade old game with a more limited playlist and fewer social features takes away from a "new" game, then that says more about the "new" game than it does anything else. Also, anyone expecting "new" maps for Halo: CE is unequivocally daft.

Buh wuh? Halo PC's online gameplay is still some of the best online shooter gameplay ever, period. How in the world could you say that it doesn't work well online? It's fucking awesome.
The reality is that this game doesn't work well online, and it would be really bad to segment the population away from Halo Reach so it's just not worth it.

No multi, no purchase. If I want to play the Halo: CE campaign I can just throw in the disk.
Exactly. Or, in my case, run the $5 version I bought during that awesome XBL sale around Christmas.
Personally, I find it preposterous that there would even be a market for a prettied-up offline only port of an ancient FPS with dated mechanics. Think about it: No hijacking, no dual-wielding, no Mongoose, no Battle Rifle, no Laser... I mean, I get Ivan liking it. "Halo geek" doesn't cover it.
A Halo remake would be far better suited to a handheld market, if only MS would enter that realm (won't happen, but Halo 3D? That would be a system mover). Even then, I think it would be more Crono Trigger than Final Fantasy - a mythic game that gets an awesome treatment on a handheld, but gamers won't put their money where their nostalgia is and refuse to buy it.

Pretty much. There's no reason for it not to be 1080p w/ 4xMSAA at 60FPS.
Halo PC runs at a different resolution and frame rate and feels exactly like Halo with a better resolution and frame rate.
Posted 02 May 2011 - 05:54 PM
I agree with Drew. It's not something to be concerned about. Does it give some of an advantage to someone who has a widescreen setup? Yes, but that's not different than people who play Reach, Halo 3, and Halo 2 on widescreen vs people who still play on SD.
Pretty much. There's no reason for it not to be 1080p w/ 4xMSAA at 60FPS.
Also, as Blaze pointed out if you're ever played Halo PC or Halo 2 Vista in HD with a very high frame rate you would know that it doesn't change the game and it looks glorious.

text: Monday, January 27, 2014 Group Urges President to Acknowledge Physical Activity in SOTU Address While the upcoming State of the Union address will almost certainly include remarks about the economy, foreign policy, and health care, if President Barack Obama listens to a suggestion from APTA and more than 100 other organizations and companies, the speech may also include a nod to the importance of physical activity. In a letter to the White House delivered last week, a long list of signatories including the American Council on Exercise, the Arthritis Foundation, NIKE Inc, University of Tennessee – Chattanooga, and APTA thanked the president for the administration's promotion of healthy lifestyles through the "Let's Move" campaign, and they urged him to keep the momentum going by mentioning physical activity as a crucial component in the overall health of the country, both physical and economic. "Physical activity has been shown to reduce health care costs, prevent chronic disease, enhance productivity, and improve quality of life," the letter states. "With its ability to treat and prevent obesity, diabetes, heart and bone disease, and other chronic conditions, exercise is powerful medicine indeed." The State of the Union address is scheduled for January 28 at 9:00 pm Eastern time.

'Tis the season for market predictions for the year ahead, and while most analysts keep their crystal-balling within tight ranges, Saxo Bank has compiled 10 surprises that could rattle financial markets. How about a surprise selloff in gold to drive the yellow metal to $1,200 an ounce, for example? Or an unusually sharp oil-production rise to slam crude-oil prices back to $50 a barrel?
"These ten predictions are not Saxo Bank's official forecasts for 2013. They could, however, prove far more relevant for investors because of the huge impact if any one of them sees the light of day in the New Year," said Steen Jakobsen, chief economist at Saxo Bank.
"Before trading or investing, investors must know the worst case scenario -- capital preservation is a must and portfolios need to be able to weather a perfect storm, or for that matter any storm," he said.
Here are the 10 outrageous predictions for 2013:
- Germany's DAX plunges 33% to 5,000 –- China's economic slowdown will continue and add pressure on Germany's industrial expansion. Such a scenario will stoke low consumer confidence and large price declines in industrial stocks, which make up a large part of the German benchmark index.
- Nationalization of major Japanese electronics companies –- Japan's electronics industry suffers after strong competition from South Korea, causing annual losses of $30 billion for Sharp Corp. , Panasonic Corp. and Sony Corp. alone. Credit worthiness will deteriorate and the Japanese government feels obliged to nationalize key industry players –- similar to the U.S. government's bailout of the auto industry.
- Soybeans rise by 50% -- After a year of extremely poor harvests due to bad weather, new crop soybeans will be just as exposed to new weather disruptions in the U.S., South America and China. Increased demand for biofuel will also push prices higher and food security will become a buzz word.
- Gold drops to $1,200 an ounce -- The strong U.S. economic recovery surprises the market and especially gold investors, which flee the traditional safe haven investment. Additionally, lack of pick up in physical demand from China and India trigger a round of gold liquidation, and the metal falls to $1,200 an ounce before central banks eventually start taking advantage of lower prices.
- Crude oil slumps to $50 a barrel –- U.S. crude-oil production continues to rise through advanced production techniques and with domestic inventory levels already at 30-year highs combined with limited exports options, oil prices come under renewed selling pressure.
- The dollar/yen falls to 60.00 -– Japan's new leader Shinzo Abe has vowed to use aggressive easing measures to boost the economy, which has punished the yen. Not all measures are introduced, however, and the market becomes over-positioned to for yen weakness and risk appetite retrenches, prompting the dollar to drop 60.00 yen, as the Japanese currency emerges as the world's strongest currency.
- Euro/Swiss francs relationship breaks peg, touches 0.9500 –- As European Union tail risks are aggravated –- maybe by the Italian election or a Greek exit of the euro zone –- capital flows surge into Switzerland once again, inspiring the Swiss National Bank and Swiss government do abandon the franc's peg to the euro rather than push reserves past 100% of Switzerland's gross domestic product. As a consequence, the euro/Swiss franc touches a new low.
- Hong Kong unpegs the Hong Kong dollar from the U.S. dollar and re-pegs to the Chinese renminbi –- The renminbi's volatility increases and Hong Kong becomes a major world currency centre.
- Spain steps closer to default as interest rates rise to 10% -- With social tensions in the country, the public sector cannot cut costs further and Spain's sovereign credit rating will be downgraded to junk. Yields rapidly rise as an inevitable default is priced in.
- 30-year U.S. sovereign yield doubles in 2013 –- The Federal Reserve's low-interest-rate policy forces investors to leave fixed income and substitute bonds with stocks. As the bond market is far larger than the equity market a 10% reallocation to stocks should amplify equity fund inflows by around 30%. This leaves to higher yields in the U.S. and marks the beginning of a decade-long outperformance by stocks over bonds.

DOVER, NH — Less than two years ago, Joe Peppe stepped away from the World Gym license he'd held for many years on one club and stepped into a Planet Fitness franchise agreement for seven clubs. His move didn't come from disenchantment with World Gym, he said, but rather from a move to a different model — a low-priced, no-frills model.
Planet Fitness facilities don't include group exercise classes, day care or swimming pools — just selectorized and free weight equipment and cardio equipment. Providing just the basics means Planet Fitness can charge less for memberships. The average Planet Fitness membership is less than $15 per month, said Mike Grondahl, founder of the franchise. Fees differ by franchisee and by the package that the member buys.Peppe's Planet Fitness memberships average $14 to $15 per month compared to the $55 per month he charged at World Gym.
The lower membership fee has netted Peppe more members and profits. While he declined to give exact figures, he said that his member numbers are "much higher" now than prior to the switch. He has a penetration of 20-25 percent of the population in a three-mile radius of his clubs. And despite some of his clubs not being fully mature, he said that his clubs are generally a "great percentage more profitable" now than before.
Peppe isn't the only licensee/franchisee moving from a traditional gym model to Planet Fitness. Planet Fitness has nine corporate facilities and 54 franchised locations. Many of those franchised facilities are owned by former franchisees of World Gym, Gold's Gym and Powerhouse, said Grondahl. Their experience is helping to increase Planet Fitness' bottom line. The company had $9.8 million in sales in 2004, but Grondahl is projecting $12 million in sales this year.
Jeff Innocenti, a former Gold's Gym owner, switched his three facilities to Planet Fitness in June 2004. In March, he opened what has become his most successful club, a 20,000-square-foot facility in Nanuet, NY. On opening day, the club had already signed 8,000 members, and as of June, it had 13,000 members.
The average monthly membership at Innocenti's Nanuet club is $11 a month with a monthly electronic funds transfer of $145,000 and monthly expenses of $90,000.
Competition was a motivating factor for both franchisees in changing over. Not only had both seen other facilities pricing lower, but they had seen the success of Planet Fitness in the Northeast and decided that rather than someday competing with the business, they'd join up.
"I've been in this business for 10 years," Innocenti said. "I've seen where it's gone. And now, if I keep putting up more clubs, it doesn't mean more money; it just means more aggravation. So where do I want to be in the next 10 years?"
The switch also allows both men to go after a broader market of people who have never belonged to a gym because the bodybuilder image of their former brands hurt membership recruitment in the broader market, they contend. Female enrollment at Peppe's Planet Fitness club is more than 55 percent, which is "tremendously higher" than at his World Gym facilities, he said. He continued by saying that his Planet Fitness clubs may attract more mainstream people because the free weight and strength equipment are kept to a minimum.
Planet Fitness also gave Peppe more opportunity to grow his number of clubs because territories are still relatively open compared to more established franchise/licensing gyms, Peppe said.
Both Peppe and Innocenti said that mid-priced clubs may find it difficult to compete in the future.
"We felt being that middle-priced club was dangerous for what we were trying to accomplish," said Peppe.
However, not everyone thinks low pricing is the wave of the future.
"If the reason for being for a company is to offer the lowest price, what is going to stop someone from going to the next lowest priced club?" asked Mike Uretz, CEO and president of World Gym.
Still Uretz said there is room for everyone in the industry. "I look at the fitness business as a big tent," Uretz said. "There's room for everybody. We will do our World Gym business, and they can do theirs."
And "their" business seems to be astounding people with their low rates. People constantly question Innocenti about how he can run a club with $10 memberships. "We don't understand how other people don't do it," he said.

Rangers hoping for early return of Soto, Profar
ARLINGTON -- Geovany Soto is targeting a July return from right knee surgery for a torn meniscus, but general manager Jon Daniels is hopeful the Rangers' starting catcher will be back in June.
"We're hoping to get [Jurickson] Profar and Soto back in June," Daniels said.
Profar, the Rangers' starting second baseman, is out with a right shoulder injury. Soto is still wearing a knee brace on his right knee and will have to wear it until mid-May. That means Soto can't do any baseball activities until then, which has him less than optimistic about a June return. The Rangers are going with a platoon of Robinson Chirinos and J.P. Arencibia.
"Basically, I'm just being patient," Soto said. "Mentally, it's tough. You come to the park and cheer on your teammates, but it's tough because I can't be out there helping them win."
The Rangers aren't going to push another injured player, left-handed starter Matt Harrison, who could make two or three more starts on a rehab assignment. Harrison, who started the season on the disabled list, lasted only 3 1/3 innings in a start Monday for Double-A Frisco.
Harrison, who had two back surgeries last year, is hoping to come off the 15-day disabled list after his next start on Saturday for Double-A Frisco. He is expected to throw 95 pitches.
"I have to get more than 3 1/3 innings," Harrison said. "I know I'm close."
Harrison has had to deal with two rainouts and cold weather during his rehab assignment. The Rangers may have time to get Harrison completely healthy with the strong start of Robert Ross Jr.
"There's not a set deadline," Daniels said. "I'm expecting him to make two more starts."

Appeal brought on 23 May 2019 by the French Republic against the judgment of the General Court (Second Chamber) delivered on 12 March 2019 in Case T-26/18 France v Commission
(Case C-404/19P)
Language of the case: French
Appellant: French Republic (represented by: D. Colas, A.-L. Desjonquères, C. Mosser, acting as Agents)
Other party to the proceedings: European Commission
Form of order sought
The appellant submits that the Court should:
Set aside in part the judgment of the General Court of the European Union of 12 March 2019, in Case T-26/18, France v Commission;
Give final judgment in the matter by annulling Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2014 of 8 November 2017 excluding from European Union financing certain expenditure incurred by the Member States under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) 1 , in so far as it imposes on France a flat-rate correction of 100% on account of deficiencies in the control system for area aid in Haute-Corse;
Order the Commission to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The French Government asks the Court to set aside in part the judgment under appeal in so far as it dismisses its action with regard to the part of the contested decision which concerns the 'Control system gravely deficient Corse' for the years 2013 and 2014, in that it applies a flat-rate correction of 100% on account of deficiencies in the control system for area aid in Haute-Corse.
In support of its appeal, the French Government relies on a single ground of appeal alleging error of law. It is submitted that the General Court relied on an erroneous interpretation of the conditions provided for in point 3.2.5 of the 2015 guidelines for setting a correction rate higher than 25%. It is claimed that the General Court confused the evidence to be adduced in the situation where the grant of aid is devoid of any legal basis or misinterprets rules of EU law, and the case where the deficiencies in the control system are sufficiently grave as to allow it to be assumed that the aid has been granted in breach of EU law. The General Court therefore wrongly held that the exclusion of all expenditure from EU funding was justified and that the flat-rate correction of 100% was well founded.

Mitchell Marcus, team manager for the Coronado High's basketball team in El Paso, Texas, has a developmental disability. Because of his lifelong love of the game, the Coronado coach allowed him to suit up and enter a game. But when his teammates tried to help him get a basket, Mitchell missed several times and began to get discouraged. Then, something magic happened. With seconds remaining in the game, a player for the other team, unprompted, helped Mitchell get a basket, and fulfill a dream.
The crowd explodes.
"I think I'll cry about it for the rest of my life," Marcus' mom said.

Are You Going to Eat That?The lab activity described here was created by Erin Bardar of TERC for the EarthLabs project.
Summary and Learning Objectives
Students begin this investigation by browsing through an interactive seafood menu that points out several of the irresponsible fishing practices employed by the seafood industry. They then watch a short movie produced by the Worldwatch Institute, which outlines some tips for becoming a more responsible seafood consumer. The investigation culminates with students conducting an independent group research project exploring the availability of sustainable seafood in their community.
After completing this investigation, students will be able to:
- describe multiple types of irresponsible fishing practices contributing to the collapse of currently fished seafood;
- identify sustainable seafood available in their community; and
- make responsible seafood choices.
Context for use
After completing Lab 1: Plenty of Fish in the Sea?, students should be familiar with the dire projections for the sustainability of currently fished seafood. Lab 2: Are You Going to Eat That?, is intended to educate students about the irresponsible fishing practices that are contributing to the destruction of the world's fisheries. It is also aimed at teaching students about the power they have to enact change in the seafood industry by making responsible choices in their own seafood consumption and demanding change in their community.
The entire investigation requires two 50-60 minute class periods plus time outside of class for students to complete their research projects. Part A takes approximately 10-15 minutes for students to read through the interactive seafood menu and watch the short video. Part B will take the remainder of the class period for students to download and compare sustainable seafood guidelines and recommendations. Part C of the activity is to be done as a group research project, conducted by groups of 2-5 students outside of class. Students should be given several days to complete their research and compile their results. A second class period is needed to allow students to present their results to the class. Alternatively, this part of the activity can be adapted as a class field trip to a local market or restaurant.
Activity Overview and Teaching Materials
For Part A, students watch the video "The end of fish?", which provides tips about responsible seafood consumption. Students then explore the World Wildlife Foundation/Marine Stewardship Council interactive seafood menu. As they flip through the pages, students are introduced to several types of irresponsible fishing practices employed by the seafood industry. In order to view both the video clip and the menu, student computers must be equipped with the Adobe Flash Player.
In Part B, students explore how seafood recommendations are developed, and compare seafood guides published by various conservation organizations. There are two readings that accompany this portion of the activity. The first reading, "Harnessing Consumer Power for Ocean Conservation" is available for students to read online. The second reading, which describes the guidelines used by the Seafood Watch Program to make seafood recommendations, is a downloadable pdf. To view this file, student computers must be equipped with Adobe Reader.
Students are also asked to compare three seafood guides. It is recommended that you print and photocopy these guides prior to class. If you wish to avoid printing altogether, contact Seafood Watch, Environmental Defense Fund, and The Safina Center directly to request hard copies of pocket seafood guides.
After comparing and contrasting the seafood guides, students are asked to explore NOAA's FishWatch website. Divide the class into small groups and assign each group to research one of the species listed on the FishWatch site. Each group should prepare a short presentation of the information they found about their assigned species. After the presentations have been made, lead a class discussion about what the students discovered, and have the class work together to rank the species of fish each group researched from most to least sustainable under current conditions.
In Part C of the Investigation, students work in groups of 2-5 to conduct independent research projects about the availability of sustainable seafood in their home community. This majority of this portion of the activity will take place outside of class.
Printable Materials
- Activity Sheet (PDF (Acrobat (PDF) 31kB Sep26 07) and Word (Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx) 19kB Aug7 18))

- Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Become Aware Postcards (Acrobat (PDF) 129kB Jan31 08)
Teaching notes and tips
Begin the investigation with a class discussion of students' personal seafood consumption habits and whether or not they have ever seen sustainable seafood labels on fish at their local market, have seen a seafood recommendation guide, or given any thought to where their seafood comes from or how it is caught.
As students compare and contrast seafood guides published by various research and conservation groups (Part B), engage them in a discussion about reliable sources of information and data on the web.
In Part B, students are asked to prepare short presentations about the fish species' assigned to their groups. Decide in advance if students will create their presentations using Power Point or on poster paper, and gather the appropriate materials.
The following rubric may be a helpful tool for assisting in the of grading student reports.

Whooping cough cases confirmed at 4 Forsyth County schools
11 total cases within the county, health officials say
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools are dealing with six confirmed cases of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, at four different schools.
The cases confirmed since Friday are at Sedge Garden Elementary, Flat Rock Middle, Kernersville Middle and Reagan High schools, said Theo Helm, WSFCS spokesman.
The school system worked with the Forsyth County Department of Public Health to notify the parents of all children who could have been exposed, Helm said.
Five other cases outside the school system have been confirmed as well, Forysth County health officials said.
Whooping cough is highly contagious and usually is spread by coughing or sneezing while in close contact with others. It's life-threatening in newborns and infants who are too young to be fully vaccinated. A 2-month-old from Forsyth County died of pertussis in August.
Children are supposed to be vaccinated against the disease at 2 months of age, then again at 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months and 4- to 6-years-old. By age 11, children also should have a pertussis booster shot.
Margaret Johnson will have more on the latest cases on WXII 12 News at 5 and 6.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy the 35th President of the United States, was shot dead in broad daylight in the company of his beautiful wife, 22 November 1963, in Dallas Texas.
Jim Braden is thought to have fired the first shot, from the roof of the Dal Tex Building across Houston Street from the TSBD, he was taken in by a Sheriffs Deputy before being released.
Lee Harvey Oswald was blamed for killing the President and Dallas Police Officer JD Tippit, a couple miles away around forty minutes later, despite photos show him at the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, when the shots were fired in the first instance, and when the three tramps were marched by hours later!
The Moorman shot has snipers nests on the Grassy Knoll, and muzzle flashes behind the picket fence left screen, with E Howard Hunt firing, Martin Luther & Coretta King to his right, Afro Secret Serviceman Abraham Bolden is behind and to Coretta's left.

William F Buckley was allegedly "Umbrella Man," who signaled the shooters all systems were go, UM's posture as per the lower shot, is more the straight laced Ivy League, Atlantic North East type as per Buckley, rather than the less formal stance of a Louisiana man .. his accomplice is believed to be Corsican adventurer Lucien Sarti!
As the limousine emerged from behind the freeway sign, the driver William Greer turned and looked over his right shoulder, he turned back and while holding the steering wheel with his left hand, retrieved something from under the dash with his right hand, he transferred the object to his left hand, and turning back around to look at the President, brought his left hand around his body and aimed and fired at John Kennedy's head!
The Three Tramps were E Howard Hunt of Watergate fame, Charles Harrelson father of television actor Woody Harrelson, and Charles Frederick Rogers, wanted in Houston TX, for killing and dismembering both his parents in 1965!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=249DTnfrKMo .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WQr4y1j4Gw&
Ted Gunderson was FBI Bureau Chief in Dallas when President K was murdered, after the shooting he was filmed in possession of one of two rifles, on the sixth floor of the TSBD, he was in Memphis when Martin Luther King was shot, and in Los Angeles when Senator Robert Kennedy was slain .. he was part of the Franklin Case cover up, that goes back nearly thirty years, whence Rusty Nelson testified Hunter S Thompson paid him $100,000 a time, to film snuff killings to the tune of around fifty dead.
In this frame there could be at least two more flash markers, where shots were fired from behind the fence, while there are others, including the "Oliver Stone" flash, from a large caliber weapon, meters further along the fence line, they continue past the corner, with Officer Smith's shotgun blast from behind the Rotunda Wall!
At plus eighteen hrs, around 9:30 pm on the evening of November 23, 1963, on Australian radio a tape recording of the assassination was played, wherein Mrs Kennedy's voice was clearly heard calling "hello Coretta," followed by a volley of gunfire!
The Australian presenter explained, Coretta was the wife of one Reverend Martin Luther King, he played a slowed down version of the tape, which had the sound of some twenty two shots ..

It is clear that unsettling preoccupations run in the Cronenberg family. David Cronenberg, perhaps Canada's most notorious film director, has shocked and fascinated us for decades with the likes of Scanners, Videodrome, Crash, and A History Of Violence. He also enjoys the odd turn in front of the camera, most notably as the horrifying Dr. Decker in Clive Barker's Nightbreed.
With his new film Cosmopolis opening in days, it must do the elder Cronenberg proud that his son, Brandon Cronenberg, is blazing a bold cinematic trail of his own. Young Mr. Cronenberg has recently become the subject of buzz for his debut feature film, Antiviral, which seared through the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and has been graced with a new trailer to announce its wider release.
Antiviral appears to be a dour new specimen of body horror, a mainstay of 1980s allegory and satire. Nowadays this particular subgenre is mostly in the questionable care of directors like Takashi Miike, Tom Six, and Eli Roth. If you do not know these names, you probably do not want to see their movies.
Cronenberg's apparent target is the cult of celebrity – a cultural obsession with fame and privilege that reaches extremely unhealthy levels. As ravenously as we seek to expose and share the intimate lives of the world's luminaries, is it so far-fetched that we might someday want to contract their diseases?
*Sensitive viewers, this trailer may not be for you. Proceed with caution.
Brandon Cronenberg must already be weary of critical comparisons to his father's body of work. Nonetheless, a certain similarity of tone is hard to miss. A new generation of Cronenberg is what many of us would like to see, complete with the old energy that brought us movies like The Brood and The Fly.
Perhaps we can all hold our tongues just a little, until Cronenberg has had a chance to demonstrate his own sense of style. In all fairness, we should wait to continue likening him to his dad until he has made two or three features. We won't of course, but as long as the story holds up, this looks like one hell of a promising debut. The trailer alone is one of the scariest things to rear its head in a long time.

BENTONVILLE - At Overstreet's Jewelry, Ralph Overstreet's 97-year-old hands are still repairing watches, just as they have been doing along the town square for more than 65 years.
BENTONVILLE - At Overstreet's Jewelry, Ralph Overstreet's 97-year-old hands are still repairing watches, just as they have been doing along the town square for more than 65 years.
He works six days a week in a profession requiring concentration and dexterity. On a typical day, he makes his bed and then does at least a dozen push-ups and about 20 sit-ups before coming to work. He repairs watches two or three hours in the morning, takes a break for lunch, and then returns for two or three more hours. He loves his work.
"I suppose that every time I get a piece of machinery that's failed in some way, I can perhaps restore it so that it works again," he said.
A widower, he lives alone and drives himself to work. He takes no prescription drugs.
Asked about his longevity, he said, "I just feel like it's the Lord's been taking care of me. The reason I am here is because He has a purpose for me."
He credits his steady hands to Jell-O. When hip pain once forced him to walk with a cane, after three weeks of eating Jell-O, the pain was gone, and he's been eating it with meals ever since.
Skeptical? Gelatin is produced from collagen, a protein contained in cartilage and bone. I'm not endorsing it, but Google it and see what you find. Regardless, Ralph is repairing watches at age 97.
Despite his many years in Bentonville, Ralph is not originally a hometown boy. He spent several years in nearby Springdale as a child and ran track for three spring semesters at the University of Arkansas. He placed third in the Southwest Conference in the mile his last year. Life took him to Kentucky, where his grades were not quite good enough for medical school, so he instead went to school to learn to make watches. Drafted by the Navy in World War II, he served in the Pacific and, after the war, eventually landed in South Dakota.
He moved to Bentonville and opened Overstreet's Jewelry in 1948 after he attended his wife Belle's sister's wedding in Springdale and learned that a watch repair shop was for sale.
He has seen a lot in his 65-plus years in business. Bentonville was a country town of less than 3,000 when he moved there. Now it has almost 40,000. At least five competing watch repairers have come and gone. Walmart founder Sam Walton opened his famous five-and-dime in the same town square.
For many years, Belle ran the operation while he was "just the mechanic," Ralph said. When she had a stroke, son Don was brought on board. Now grandson Doug works there, too.
Business is good. Sometimes he'll get a batch of 10 watches at a time. Some can't be fixed, and when that happens, he'll inform his customers. But if he can fix it, he will. Some of these watches are family heirlooms. Age doesn't diminish value, and in many ways, it enhances it.
A man whose life has been based on time has been given a lot of it. How that's based on destiny versus genetics versus choices, I can't say for sure. But to some degree, we stop getting up in the morning when we no longer have a good reason to do so. His life is marked by purpose, meaningful but not oppressive work, a healthy routine, consistent time with family, engagement with his community, and faith. Ralph repairs watches with his son and grandson for his fellow townsfolk. If he didn't do that, who would?
An old watch can still tell time. An old watch repairer can still fix an old watch. Age doesn't diminish value, and in many ways, it enhances it.

I'm having one of those days when I can't even bear to look at my Google Alerts on "obesity" and "dieting," because I know I'll want to cry and throw things a lot more than I'll want to write something cogent about them.
So here's what I woke up thinking about. When I wrote about the key steps on my journey toward fat positivity, I left out something important. And I left it out because I don't like admitting it any more than I liked admitting that starving myself was actually a key step. But this is the other thing that helped immeasurably: getting into a good relationship.
I've noticed that a lot of the people I see writing confidently and persuasively about body acceptance are married or in solid long-term relationships. There aren't nearly as many single girls doing this, as far as I can tell. And that breaks my heart a little, because I suspect it's no mere coincidence.
Simply put, it's about a zillion times harder to deliberately tune out the constant "Fat is hideously unattractive" and "Who could love a fat person?" messages when you don't have someone around to give you daily reminders that you're attractive and lovable. On top of that, you have no idea when or where you'll meet the person you're looking for, absolutely no control over your single status — so if you're not thrilled about it, you can't even do anything to change it. I mean, sure, you can put up an online personal or hang out in bars or volunteer at an animal shelter in hopes of meeting someone. You can take up new hobbies, keep yourself busy and happy, refuse to appear — or become — desperate.
But you still can't really fucking do anything about it. You cannot predict when and where the right person (or a right person) for you will show up, so you cannot do a damned thing to hurry that process along.
That's where the people who want to sell you shit come in. 'Cause, see, if you have shiny hair and white teeth and minty fresh breath and clear skin and, above all, a thin body, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR PICK OF TOTALLY APPROPRIATE LOVERS! As soon as you become suitably "attractive" — because of course attractiveness is a universal, objective quality — droves of people who are just right for you, and completely attracted to you (because duh, you're attractive now), and single and baggage-free and witty and charming and loyal and brave and kind and able to do that thing just the way you like it, will appear out of nowhere!
We all know this is utter bullshit. What's more, we all know the best relationships come along when we're feeling confident, together — worthy of a good relationship. And although the people selling attractiveness lotions and potions and diet aids claim they are indeed selling us reasons to become more confident, we all know they would be very, very unhappy — not to mention poor — if the majority of us actually became confident in our appearances. Their livelihoods depend on the insecurity of single people, especially single women.
So my god, it is hard to develop that confidence when you're single and not happy about it, and the whole world is telling you the way to fix that is to make yourself prettier — and, of course, that a crucial component of becoming prettier is becoming as thin as you can possibly be, by any means necessary.
It's a fucking brutal catch-22. It's almost impossible to attract someone who will treat you well if you don't believe that's what you deserve, and it's almost impossible to believe that's what you deserve when you're constantly told you're ugly and disgusting to all right-minded people and destined for an early death, to boot.
So… yeah. I don't even know where I'm going with this. It's not like there are startling revelations here. I guess I just want to give a shout out to the single fatties and acknowledge that yeah, I know it's a kabillion times easier to say, "I'm attractive and lovable just the way I am" when I've got someone around reinforcing that message all the time. When I was single (for approximately 9,000 years), I doubted those things a hell of a lot more than I do now, and it was a hell of a lot harder to steer clear of the "There's absolutely nothing wrong with being fat — for everyone except me" trap.
Single folks, here's what I know: you are exactly what someone is looking for, and that someone is exactly what you're looking for. You just don't have a damned bit of control over when or where you'll stumble across each other. That sucks a hundred kinds of ass. But you don't have to be prettier. You don't have to be better. You don't even have to be patient, if you don't feel like it. You just have to be.
And for what it's worth, I'm not a big believer in the "You'll only find love when you're not looking for it" school of thought. I was fucking looking when I found Al. I don't think I spent a day of my life after hitting puberty not looking, really — but especially a year ago, I'd turned online dating into practically a part-time job. I was literally spending a couple hours a day writing to guys, a couple nights a week going on dates that ranged from pretty okay to horrid. Of course, that didn't turn out to be how I found the right guy, but you'd better believe I was looking. It is okay to look. It is okay to want it. That does not actually send some desperate, self-defeating vibe out into the universe, guaranteeing that you will not find a decent date.
At the same time, Al really wasn't looking at all. So basically, it only happens… whenever it happens. That's all anybody fucking knows about it.
And in the meantime, you're fine. There is no such thing as a universally attractive person (says the woman who thinks Brad Pitt is weaselly looking) — just millions of individuals whose millions of boats are floated by different things. There is no magic gate behind which dozens of people you could have fantastic relationships with are biding their time, just waiting for you to get thin enough for them to bust through it and come find you. The problem is not your fat. (Even if you could get thin, would you want to date someone who wouldn't have wanted you fat?)
The problem is this: you can't control it. That's all. It really is. And it's a big problem to have in this society; westerners in general and Americans in particular want to believe we can always manifest our dreams through our own efforts. We want to believe there is always a direct correlation between what we do and what good comes to us. We need to believe that. We cannot accept that luck and chance have a pretty damn huge effect on how our lives turn out.
But they do. When I met Al, I was already increasing in self-confidence, I was "putting myself out there," I was consciously trying to improve myself in a hundred ways — but I was and am a long way from where I wanted to be, where I thought I needed to be. A long, long way from "perfect." Hell, I'm still a long way from "not broken." I met Al when I did for one reason only: he came to Chicago that weekend, and Paula introduced us. That's the whole magical, mystical story right there. And despite all my unfinished self-improvement campaigns, it turned out that when the right guy came along, I was perfectly fucking fine just the way I was.
And you are perfectly fucking fine just the way you are, even if you're a fat girl wearing unflattering sweatpants and no make-up, with your hair in a ponytail and your glasses on and all your beauty products sitting lonely in the bathroom, as I am right this minute. (Um, I mean I currently have all those characteristics going on, not that I'm currently sitting lonely in the bathroom. I don't usually blog from there.)
The problem is not you.
Man, do I ever wish I knew how to say that so it would actually sound true.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
Very little pure friction in NE... Some harder stuff on Cannon, Future Shock (kinda)Chris- you should check out Hugo's on Willard.. recently redone.. 6 ? pitches
... Stopping and micro managing moves never helps on slab......
we auto block 100% of the time
Quote from: mechanicalchris on May 29, 2012, 09:30:25 AM we auto block 100% of the timewhat do you mean by this?
Ah, 100% of the time while belaying the second(s). Got it.It's probably been mentioned already but that is really slow on the slabs... it's impossible to keep up with two fast moving seconds and it's hell on the elbows after a few years. It's why I love my Trango Cinch and a couple skinny single ropes, around 9.4mm. There is almost no effort required to pull 200 feet of rope through a Cinch and since it only takes a seconding climber 5-10 minutes to clean a pitch I find it so much easier to belay them one at a time this way. You also have the added abrasion resistance of having each climber on a single rope, as we should, even though sometimes we don't.
Placeing gear really should not slow you down much and sometimes makes you climb faster. that is of course provideing that you are good at placeing gear. I have had seconds tell me that I place gear the same speed that they clip bolts. that is obviously a skill to work on. I do find that in many situations placeing a bit more gear helps you climb faster and safer. YMMV On super easy slab that may not be the case but I felt like rambeling.. A big part of keeping your slab head is to just keep moveing upward. tell yourself that I DON'T FALL ON THIS TYPE OF TERRAIN and just keep chugging up. Stopping and micro managing moves never helps on slab......
I can place gear in funky situations or easy ones. No matter. you should be able to look at a crack and pick the right piece in seconds.
Quote from: tradmanclimbz on May 30, 2012, 09:27:58 PMI can place gear in funky situations or easy ones. No matter. you should be able to look at a crack and pick the right piece in seconds. In my rules, we must be able to size the next piece as we already clip the pro that we just place. I don`t climbb 5.11, but I agreee on 5.9 and 5.10.
Unless you are climbing in Indian Creek you usually have no idea what the next piece is. Seems pointless to me, though if I know what the crux piece is I may get it ready ahead of time (Intimidation)

April 19, 1912: More than $10,000 for rescued women raised on Carpathia
Here is the complete text of this article from page 3 of The Denver Post, April 19, 1912:
More Than $10,000 for Rescued Women Raised on Carpathia
New York, April 19.–Before the Carpathia reached the Cunard Line peir last night, more than $10,000 in contributions was available for the women's relief fund to care for the destitute steerage passengers, who were chiefly women and children. All were provided with clothing and comfortably houses and arrangements have been completed to care for them as long as is necessary.
Mrs. Abram S. Hewitt, chairman, is being assisted by more than 100 women. The passengers were removed to the Junior League house, the Swiss Benevolent Home, the Margaret Louisa home, the Municipal lodging house and the St. Vincent de Paul home.
London, April 19.–The fund being raised by Lord Mayor Crosby for the survivors has reached $150,000. Those who hoped that the Curnarder Olympic had picked up some of the survivors of the Titanic were dissapointed. The Olympic was too far away to reach the scene in time.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
Lisa del Giocondo, née Gherardini (15 June, 1479 – 15 July, 1542 or c. 1551), better known as Mona Lisa (archaic Italian for Lady Lisa) was a member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany in Italy.
Little is known about Lisa's life. She was born in Florence and married as a teenager to a cloth and silk merchant who later became a local official. She was mother to six children and led what is thought to have been a comfortable and ordinary middle-class life.
She was depicted in an oil portrait by the Florentine artist Leonardo da Vinci completed circa 1503-1519. A copy of her portrait was hung in the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
In 1996 the newspaper The Guardian reported that "famous painting the Mona Lisa is to appear in latest Tango ads".[2]

Lower your electric bill
Scared of a huge power bill this winter? Well, you don't have to compromise your cozy, warm home to keep your costs down.
First, you should watch out for vampire electronics. These are things like phone chargers, TVs, and coffee makers which suck power even when they're only on standby, and consume $10 billion of energy a year. Use timers and smart power strips to control their power use.
Did you know there are peak power hours? Using more electricity from 6 to 10 a.m., and 3 to 9 p.m. and can cost 30 to 60 percent more than off-peak, which are usually weekends and holidays. Limit use during peak hours by saving chores for the weekends.
Last, buy energy-star appliances. Not only will they save you money, but many power companies offer rebates for buying them. Be sure to check with your company to see if you qualify.
The Department of Energy has tips on saving energy year-round and a list of energy-saving appliances. Check them out at energy.gov.

It's initiative season, and everyone is angry at state Attorney General Kamala Harris.
That's because in California, the attorney general -- a partisan, elected official -- writes the official titles and summaries that appear on ballots.
Such titles and summaries are influential because they are the last thing voters see before casting their ballots.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Harris, like attorneys general before her, appears to have put her thumb on the scale, and issued titles and summaries that serve the political purposes of her political allies.
Writers in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sacramento Bee took her to task for misleading, politically motivated titles and summaries in recent days.
What to do?
For years, would-be political reformers have suggested taking this power away from the attorney general. Most recently, Joel Fox urged giving the duty to the non-partisan legislative analyst's office, or to a committee of retired judges.
Those aren't bad ideas, but there's a better approach. Let California voters themselves draft the titles and summaries.
That's quite workable.
In Oregon, a new process called the Citizens' Initiative Review puts together juries of regular voters to study initiatives -- and then write arguments for and against initiatives. Those arguments then appear in Oregon's official ballot pamphlet.
The same process could be adapted to California, with the juries producing the official title and summary for each measure.
Turning this process over to voters would do more than simply make the drafting of initiatives fairer and less partisan. It would be an opportunity for broader public engagement and greater deliberation in the initiative process -- a process that is dominated by moneyed, powerful interests.
Such a process also would encourage initiative sponsors to draft clearer, simpler initiatives -- so that the voters drafting the titles could be easily understood. That would be an improvement, since initiatives have grown longer and more complex in recent years.

LCC-Mages Guild-J2 - Gathering blueberries
Journeyman –3 MOCs:
2) Capturing/training a "familiar."
On their way back to Garheim from Loreos (GC2) Svea an her brother Tolvo had to ride through Lenfald. On this very long journey they had a lot time to talk with each other. Tolvo asked Svea what happend after Svea stopped the thief in front of their father's shop (Mages Guild A3). Svea told Tolvo the whole story how she captured the thief and how she escaped from Mikithdar after some people started to pursue her (Mages Guild J1). Tolvo was pretty impressed due to this confession. But he wasn't angry, he was curious.
Tolvo: "Show me a trick"
Svea: "Oh, I don't think this is a good idea"
Tolvo: "Come on I'm you brother"
Svea: "But don't tell this anybody else"
Tolvo: "Sure"
Svea: "Let us gather those blueberries behind that bridge"
After Svea and Tolvo crossed the bridge Svea taught Tolvo how he can gather blueberries without kneeling and stooping.
More pics on flickr.
I've had this idea because my girlfriend baked a blueberry cake for us *mmmmhhh delicious*.
I hope you like it.
Best regards
