It's no secret that one of our guests' favourite things about staying at Harwood House is our delicious hand-crafted breakfasts. Every morning co-owner and chef, Ian, lovingly creates wonderful meals made to order, which our guests enjoy at private tables overlooking our beautiful garden. While Ian's skill in the kitchen is undeniable, it all starts with the locally sourced ingredients as well as the house made jams and marmalades. Almost all of our meats and produce come from the surrounding farms, giving us an opportunity to share the bounty of Essex with our guests year round. While we believe that every part of our breakfasts are important, this time of year we like to focus on what we consider the quintessential breakfast meat: bacon, in honour of International Bacon Day 2015.
International Bacon Day 2015 at Harwood House
Every year around this time we like to showcase different bacon that comes from local farms in celebration of International Bacon Day. Great Dunmow has a rich history related to bacon that culminates in the Dunmow Flitch trials which are held every four years, a tradition dating back to 1104. Needless to say, the nearly thousand year old tradition has had a great impact on the fine quality of the bacon produced in this area. Each farm has their own way of curing the meat, creating different flavour profiles. This year, Harwood House compared a number of bacons including locally produced rashers from Wicks Manor in Maldon and Priors Hall Farm in Lindsell. Each bacon is unique and sure to please even the most discerning bacon lover and Chef Ian is excited to offer these little delights to our guests. For the second year running, our house bacon took the winning title!
Locally Sourced Breakfast All Year Round
Regardless of the time of year, guests will always find the best breakfast with the finest ingredients from local farms. Our sausages and eggs also come from area producers whose quality is second to none. In addition to our fabulous breakfasts, guests are also treated to recently refurbished rooms, award winning service and those travelling through Stansted can take advantage of our Park and Fly or bespoke Taxi service. If you are planning a trip to Great Dunmow for any reason, we'd love to show you the beauty and bounty of Essex. You can easily book online and feel free to ring us with any questions you might have.

Love the photo (so much that I had to say something!) --- Am feeling pretty celebratory of gray right now even though Seattle will soon only be gray and I'll have had too much of it! But this image perfectly captures 'grayness.' Thanks-

Sunday Teleconference Notes (10/4)
-- Richt said the team needs to be able to block better, but put a great deal of the onus for the under-performing running game on the tailbacks. "There's been times when we've gotten just about as far as we've blocked, and we need backs that will get more than just what's been provided. That's why (Charles Scott) is such a great player. We need a little bit more of that, too."
-- But the playcalling is an issue as well: "We need to have enough of a good mix of run-pass to keep people off balance a little bit."
-- Richt said he watched the film of the running game today and said that the coaches discussed it and have decided not to change the pecking order yet, but Richt didn't rule out making changes tomorrow or after practices this week.
-- Richt said he is waiting to talk about the celebration penalty with Rogers Redding, the SEC's head of officials. He said he saw nothing on any of the film that would be considered a penalty and was given no indication that anything happened to cause the penalty that was not caught on camera. He said A.J. absolutely went immediately to his teammates following the TD, which fits with the rule.
-- Richt was asked about the playing time battle between Bryan Evans and Baccari Rambo, and while he stopped short of saying Rambo would be the starter, he said the redshirt freshman would continue to get more playing time and that the best player would play, regardless of seniority.
-- Richt said that he was not any more involved in the play calling in the second half than normal, despite having the head set on for nearly the entire half.
-- Regarding the special teams problems, Richt only spoke specifically about this game but said that, a.) the kick coverage was affected a great deal by the wind and by Trindon Holliday's immense talent and b.) the use of Logan Gray on punts is in large part because Georgia is using essentially its regular defensive unit to prevent a fake.

Why is that MR does not ever want to rock the boat? This team needs a shake up to send a message about performance and penalties. Maybe Samuel's best position is LB and maybe Rambo needs to be the starter. I would like to see Logan Gray get a real series at QB once in a while. This is not a slam on Cox but we can't go into next with none of our QBs having any game experience. What is up with AJ Harmon? I thought he was supposed to a better OL than DL.
- October 4, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Richt talked about a better run pass mix. We run to set up the pass which would be fine if we could run effectively. I think we need to pass to set up the run. It seemed like we had a lot of 2nd and 8s last night and we ran the ball again leaving us a 3rd & 7. The play calling seems very conservative especially after our success against USC & Ark.
- October 4, 2009 at 7:38 PM
As a journalist, why do you let him get away with this BS? Wind? Seriously?!
- October 4, 2009 at 8:00 PM
- David Hale said...
I get your frustration, but what can I do? I can't force the man to answer a question any differently than he wants to answer it. The bottom line is that as journalists, we are at a constant disadvantage because A.) we're not football coaches so we'll constantly be told we don't really understand what's happening, and B.) there's only so far you can push a line of questioning before it becomes a fight, and that's something the reporter almost never wins.
Not saying that Richt is being deliberately elusive in this case, but that's really the battle that every journalist faces all the time -- whether you're covering the White House or Pee-Wee football.
- October 4, 2009 at 8:03 PM
The wind? He's blaming our lousy kick coverage on the wind? Was it the wind that caused only 3 players to line up on one side of the kicker?
I used to give Richt credit for not sounding like a undereducated good old boy when he spoke (cf. Ray Goff and, at times, Donnan), but there's no way any journalist should let him get away with that answer without laughing in his face.
- October 4, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Just curious, but does anyone know if LSU would have received anymore than a start at the 40-yard line if we kicked the ball out of bounds? Given the fact that we rarely ever stop the opponent inside the 25 when we kick from the 30, it seems like it may have been the right move given our anemic kickoff coverage and kicking from the 15.
- October 4, 2009 at 8:36 PM
David please ask CMR if Logan Gray is one of the 11 fastest and best hitters on our team, otherwise why in the name of Wally Butts is he on the Kick Off coverage team. There are no other 2nd string QB's in the country covering KOs. Is this part of Fab's liking a challenge or are do we just have the dumbest coaches in college football.
- October 4, 2009 at 8:46 PM
We would have had to kick the ball out of bounds between the LSU 40 and the LSU goal line. If not they would have gotten the ball where it went out of bounds.
- October 4, 2009 at 8:49 PM
- adam said...
i'd be very curious to hear if there's any chance we'll see another QB if cox continues to struggle.
- October 4, 2009 at 9:00 PM
On a kickoff out of bounds, the ball is spotted 30 yards from the spot of the kick, i.e. the 40 on a normal kick, or the kicking team's 45 on a kick from the 15.
The coaches know the rules, and anyone saying they should have kicked it out of bounds is ignorant.
- October 4, 2009 at 9:04 PM
- adam said...
meant to also say "or why we haven't seen anyone else take any snaps either."
i can't imagine what they could be afraid of logan doing that cox hasn't already done. miss open receivers? stare down his receivers? make poor decisions? throw picks when it keeping the ball matters most? fumble? misread blitzes? audible into the wrong play (or never audible at all)? force a throw into double or triple coverage? not go through his progression and miss an open man underneath? not feel defensive pressure coming? take a dumb sack running out of bounds? rely too much on AJ? hold the ball too long in the pocket? throw it to a receiver who's already finish his route and is waiting around as the defense closes in on him (ya know... bad timing)?
cuz seriously... cox has done them all. i can't really think of another mistake that logan can make. its not like we're digging that deep into the playbook. we've gotta be able to run these plays with logan too. how much worse could he be? is there NO chance he'd play better? i mean... ealey was almost out of the picture until this week. why not logan or even aaron murray? stafford beat out guys that new the playbook better. we need a QB that make plays, make good reads and decisions (and go through a progression), and that can hit open receivers. i find it hard to believe that we don't have one somewhere.
- October 4, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Adam, it's pretty clear that Logan Gray will never start a game for UGA. If he can't get PT now, after several years in the system, why would he start next year as a senior--so we can be in the same position of having a one year qb?
Murray will be the qb next year. If Gray were the answer to any questions, he would have played already.
We'll see.
- October 4, 2009 at 9:15 PM
- Unknown said...
" he said the redshirt freshman would continue to get more playing time and that the best player would play, regardless of seniority."
Do you see Gray or Murry getting more reps at QB to start preparing them for next year?
- October 4, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Stafford didn't beat anyone out...he had to have the wonderful all world JT the III to suffer an ankle injury before he got a chance. Makes you wonder about our coaching and playing the best guys doesn't it???
- October 4, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Richt benched Stafford in the CO game and put in Cox to generate a spark. Remember that game? So Richt isn't above benching a poor performing QB. So either his loyalty to Cox is deeper than doo or else Gray is just pathetic beyond belief (and he'd have to be in order to be worse than Cox). But that doesn't make any sense either (Gray being that pathetic) unless he has just continued to digress daily since the G-Day game...
And obviously the Fresh QBs (M and M) aren't ready.
Gonna be interesting to see if one of the pine riding QBs gets some more reps with the starters in practice this week. If ever there was a game that would jump start that possibility then the LSU game is it.

damn, i wish you were wrong
come onnnnnnnnnnn murray
- October 4, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I do believe that CMR knows whats he doing!Dawg nation has to realize its gonna take time to develop talent..As far as us starting a true freshman as Qb,thats not the answer were looking for right now @ this time of the season.There just kids..all it takes is a missed blitz or a horrible throw and there confidence is shot!Gray will not be a Qb for us ..hes just one of those players that just dosnt have that"it" factor..Ride with Joe and lets give these freshmen a little bit more time to grow.Players cheat themselves when they dont master the playbook.Remember were not playing paperchumps!These are real legit programs!Dont expect to see Arron or Zach this year unless of injury.Everybody needs to realize that every good freshman is not AJ Green or Matt Stafford.Both of those guys were top 5 national players in their classes.We will be ok!!Were gonna make a title run with AJ next year.AJ has heisman skills and will make a nice run at it next year!
- October 4, 2009 at 10:21 PM
I just wish that he could answer the question about why Logan isn't getting a series a half...just to shake things up...I understand we only had the ball for 19 plays in the first half but damn-- and why is covering freaking kicks. What the hell is that about...we don't have another saftey/linebaker that could do that?
Is he just that bad of a quarterback to not warrant playing time. I guess next year will be the same story...quarterback with no experience.
- October 4, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Check the replay of the final two kickoffs.
Georgia had three walk ons and a backup quarterback covering the kick from a huddle formation. LSU fields the ball on the 17 and no Georgia player enters the picture until the returner had already returned the ball 15 yards to the 32.
LSU had 10 first and second team defenders covering the kick and lining up in their lanes. Georgia fields the kick on the 22 and the first LSU player enters the picture when the returner reaches the 26.
Yep. It must have been the wind.
- October 4, 2009 at 11:33 PM
"So either his loyalty to Cox is deeper than doo"
Joe Cox threw the potential game-winning pass against the #4 team in the nation with a minute left.
- October 5, 2009 at 12:18 AM
i cant believe that we "fair catch" almost every punt that could pin us in our own territory to prevent a freakin fake. Way to help the offense out! thats just ridiculous either go after the punt block or set up the return. no other team seems to have this problem. What has happened to our special teams the last few years? what changed?
- October 5, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Looking at that final UGA kickoff, I counted four walk ons, a back up fullback and a back up quarterback attempting to cover the kick.
- October 5, 2009 at 1:13 AM
- Muckbeast said...
I really don't think Cox is the problem for the offense. Mike Bobo is the problem.
- October 5, 2009 at 1:57 AM
- adam said...
honestly, it HAS to be a combination of the two. the play calling isn't very good, no doubt. but cox missing open receivers, holding on too long, not knowing how to look off db's, etc. isn't all bobo's fault (though... what position does he coach? o yeahhh...). so maybe it is all bobos fault. but for sure cox is doing his best to make it his fault as well.
while i do appreciate joe's last second heroics, that only means so much if you lose. he's like a closer that can only pitch in save situations. good thing to have if you're playing alot of close games, but you'll lose as many games as you win on that pressure-only arm. cox leading some late-game charges (in a losing effort, no less) doesn't excuse being 3/9 for 31 yards late in the first half. especially when he had a chance to hit AJ wide open for a 95 yard TD in the 2nd drive of the game and miraculously overthrew him! how big would that play have been? it was as dumb as blair's missed field goal. that was a good call by bobo. the call got us a 95 yard TD. cox's pass got us an incompletion. so, mike doesn't get to hold all of the blame.
- October 5, 2009 at 3:16 AM
- Muckbeast said...
The point is, Cox is not losing us these games. I didn't say he's Danny Wuerfell. He's an above average QB, and that should be fine considering all the other talent.
Good play calling makes the QB look good because he is in a good position to make plays.
Defense that actually gets 3 and outs gives a QB more opportunities to mix up a defense.
Our problems are with the OC, DC, and ST coaches.
Our players are great and give it their all every moment on the field. They aren't perfect of course, but they are very talented, work hard, and clearly CARE about what is going on.
- October 5, 2009 at 4:35 AM
Make Bobo thje defensive Coord. He can stop any offense.
- October 5, 2009 at 9:07 AM
- JRL said...
The slide in defensive production (or lack thereof) has been blamed on CWM. While I admit he has looked lost on more than one occasion I think the blame should be directed at BoBo first and special teams second.
BoBo has some big numbers to his credit but that is more a function of the talent he has had to work with than his skills. I challenge anyone to name an SEC team where he could get the same position (OC). Taking it a bit further name a top 25 team that would offer BoBo the OC position.
- October 5, 2009 at 9:30 AM
Just wanted to point this out. Watch Evans get pulled down on Scott's long run. The refs have continued to blow and fabricate calls. Its rediculous and Georgia is getting the short end of the stick everytime. As far as Tim Brando's comments, to me they were not so much about race but about having a match up between the # 4 and the # 1 teams in the nation facing off in a "showdown in the bayou." Anybody else see the money and tv playing into the outcomes of games. Maybe I'm being a little cynical but something just doesn't seem right.
- October 5, 2009 at 10:12 AM
why was Rennie off the field for much of LSU's first possession of the second half?

March 11, The Iran Project – After terrorist groups lost their strongholds in Iraq and Syria, so far several Iranian and foreign officials have censured US over its measures to relocate Daesh terrorist groups to Afghanistan.
On November 19, Daesh terrorists were flushed out of their last stronghold in Syria's Al-Bukamal. The city's liberation marked an end to the group's self-proclaimed caliphate it had declared in 2014.
Daesh militants made swift advances in northern and western Iraq over the summer of 2014, after capturing large areas of Syria.
But the timely support by Iran helped Syria and Iraq fight off Daesh. In addition, formation of military units by volunteers, known as Hashd al-Shaabi or Popular Mobilization Units, in Iraq blunted the edge of Daesh offensive and later made the terror group withdraw from the territories it had occupied.
The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan under the guise of the war on terror. Some 17 years on, the Taliban militant group has only boosted its campaign of violence, targeting both Afghan civilians and security forces in bloody assaults.
More recently, Daesh has established a foothold in eastern and northern Afghanistan and stepped up its attacks despite the presence of thousands of foreign troops there.
"Option for Immigration"
According to media report, Daesh in Afghanistan is inviting Muslims worldwide to come to the war-torn country if they cannot reach Syria or Iraq, as it seeks to expand its foothold.
A 25-minute propaganda film released by the Islamic State-Khorasan Province on March 4 promotes Daesh strongholds in Afghanistan's north and east as an "option for immigration," the SITE Intelligence Group said.
"O you Muslims in every corner of the world! Immigrate to Khorasan! If you are incapable of immigrating to Iraq and Sham [Syria], come to Khorasan," a fighter said on the video.
The video comes amid growing concerns that Daesh fighters fleeing battlefields in Syria and Iraq are finding their way to Afghanistan, where the group has a small but potent presence.
Foreign Militants Joining Daesh
Recently, General Saleh Mohammad Rejistani, a military analyst and former parliamentarian of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan said over the past months the number of foreign militants joining Daesh has considerably increased.
According to Rejistani, Daesh footholds are located in four provinces in the north and north-east of Afghanistan: namely, Faryab, Jawzjan, Sari-Pol and Badakhshan.
The general specified that the militants enter Badakhshan via two routes: the first one is going through Chitral (northeast of Pakistan) and the Warduj valley. The second one is through Chitral to Nurestan. Pakistan serves as a "bridge" for the transfer of militants. The main centers of the terrorist deployment are in Chitral, Waziristan and Peshawar, according to the military analyst.
Major Challenge
On March 9, Iran's permanent representative to the United Nations said that security has remained the major challenge for Afghanistan, declaring Iran's continued support for peace and stability in neighboring country.
Gholamali Khoshroo made the remarks in a UN Security meeting on Afghanistan on Thursday March 8 to extend the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for another year.
Khoshroo added "sustained international support is needed to help the Government in that fight, as well as in addressing its complex security, economic and political challenges."
Tool of Oppression
Islamic Revolution's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the US is pursuing its goal of justifying its presence in the region and providing security for the Zionist regime of Israel by moving Daesh to Afghanistan.
"The same hands that created Daesh and turned it into a tool of oppression and crime against the people of Syria and Iraq are now, after Daesh's defeat, trying to move Daesh to Afghanistan; recent massacres are actually the onset of the plan," said Ayatollah Khamenei in his Fiqh class.
He reiterated that the Americans themselves are the main source of insecurity in Afghanistan, and the slaughters that have taken place in the name of religion in the past 20 years were carried out directly or indirectly by the US agents.
Escalation of Tensions
Meanwhile, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri has cautioned about transferring Daesh terrorist group to Afghanistan, noting that "The Americans point to (the existence) of tensions in the southwest Asia region as an excuse for their presence in the region."
If the region became calm, they would have to withdraw their forces and then the regional counties would ensure the security of the region, he added.
Regional Instability
In an interview with IRNA, Former Pakistani ambassador to the UAE Air Marshal (rtd) Syed Qaiser Hussain praised Iran's role in the Middle East region, adding that no doubt Iran will come out victorious against all American conspiracies.
Former Vice Chief of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) stated that since the success of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has always stood up for its national interests and never accepted the American hegemony.
He added that it is the US that has airlifted the people of Daesh from Iraq and brought them in Afghanistan to create instability in the area.
Pakistan won't be US "Proxy"
Moreover, Pakistan's Foreign minister Khawaja Asif has accused the US of trying to use Islamabad as a "proxy" in defending its interests in war-torn Afghanistan.
Maintaining that Pakistan wants constructive ties with America, he said that in the high-level engagements recently, the US officials have been told that Trump's "unwarranted" allegations against the country were against the cooperative history of the US-Pak relationship.
In his new South Asia Policy in August last year, Trump had called for tougher measure against Pakistan if it fails to cooperate with the US in its fight against terrorism.
The US also blocked about USD two billion in security assistance to Pakistan.
Consolidating Daesh's Position
Speaking to Sputnik Dari, Ahmad Wahid Mozhda, a political scientist and former Mujahedeen commander, explained that many Afghans believe in the presence of a 'mysterious foreign hand' in their country helping to consolidate Daesh's position
"Many members of Afghanistan's parliament, as well as ordinary citizens, are saying that Daesh terrorists are being brought here by unidentified helicopters. There is a great deal of evidence to support this," Mozhda said. "Afghans believe in a kind of 'mysterious hand' working to strengthen Daesh's positions," he added.
Mozhda challenged the US's long-standing assertion that fighting terror was its main mission in Afghanistan, and pointed out that in its 17 years of fighting, the US has not only suffered significant material and personnel losses, but has not been unable to win this war. On the contrary, he noted, the number of terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan has grown exponentially.

La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club meets every Thursday morning at 6:58 am at the La Jolla Shores Hotel. We have a "social hour" from 6:58 until about 7:25 am when a delicious breakfast is served buffet style. The formal meeting starts at 7:30 am with an invocation and pledge to the flag, introductions of visiting Rotarians and guests, plus announcements and reports, etc. At approximately 7:50 am, a guest speaker is introduced who presents a program. The meeting ends by 8:30 am.
La Jolla Sunrise Rotary calls itself "small but mighty." The relatively small size of the Club fosters camaraderie among its members. But, our size doesn't stop us from immersing ourselves in the Rotary tradition of "service above self." We're involved in many local, district and international activities. La Jolla Sunrise Rotary has at least 8 projects/program/events going each year through the Rotary Avenues of Service - Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service and International Service.
In 2013, for example, we raised almost $30,000 for the non-profit Angel Faces at the beautiful and inspiring Angel Faces Gala, plus $10,000 for polio eradication at the Global Swimarathon (matched 2-for-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). Additional funds were raised for Angel Faces and for our Gift of Life Program through the Rotary International Grants Program; We sponsor MicroCredit programs internationally. Annually, we are hosts for the semi-finals of the 4-Way Speech Contest. We provide Christmas gifts to the teens at San Pasqual Academy. and we are engaged in a "work day" at San Pasqual Academy every April.
But we have fun too. "Club Service" in Rotary encourages a "spirit of fellowship." We have an annual Christmas Party, a demotion (for the President) party and several impromptu small social events throughout the year.

You are here
The Badger Hole
PIERRE, S.D. – Located behind Legion Lake in CusterState Park sits a four-room log cabin made of ponderosa pine and native rock. The home of Charles Badger Clark, nicknamed "The Badger Hole", now acts as a dedication to the work and life of Badger Clark.
Badger was a very kind individual who expressed his feelings through his writings. His most famous works include: "A Cowboy's Prayer", "Sun and Saddle Leather" and "Sky Lines and Wood Smoke". Many of his poems reflect his love for the West, especially for the majesty and beauty of the Black Hills.
The cabin remains as Badger left it. His favorite books line the shelves, his boots neatly lined along the bedroom wall and his photograph collection lining one wall. The Badger Clark Historic Trail sits nearby, where visitors can read his poetry at quiet stops among the pines.
After his death in 1957, the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks purchased the cabin and dedicated it as the Badger Clark Memorial.

Upgrade Patch:
New Features:
Added import/export commands to server help menu for saving system settings to an XML file. This is handy when moving to another computer or loading different setups and color schemes. Unlike the table and account settings, the system settings are saved to the Windows registry and thus previously you had to run RegEdit to export your system settings.
Added sound volume option to client lobby menu. Now you can control the volume of the sound effects. A slider bar is used to set the volume from 0 (mute) to 100 (full volume).
Chat setting in player accounts changed from a Yes/No value to a date, indicating resumption of suspended chat privileges. Now you can suspend a player's chat privilege by setting this to a future date and time. When that time comes, chat privileges are automatically restored. This setting is backwards compatible so that Yes settings will be converted automatically to 0000-00-00 00:00 and No settings to 9999-99-99 99:99.
Players can now flip their hole cards face up/down by clicking on them and a new "Deal cards face down" option has been added to the table options menu in the client. This is handy when you are playing against other people in the same physical room and don't want to have to keep your screen covered.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a chat text color bug.
Fixed a bug in the remote administration interface that didn't allow selection of avatar 0.
Fixed a bug in the client where the next move call box didn't work for amounts over 999 chips.

I had a Windows 95 that had Mystery screensaver on it. The Windows 95 crashed, but I got a Windows ME as a gift. The Windows ME has a USB port and the Mystery screensaver. I want to copy the screensaver to a flash drive then run it on my Windows XP. But when I tried, I just get a blank screen on my Windows XP. What can I do?
That's more a desktop theme than just a screensaver so I'm not sure what files you copied. I believe it came on the 95 Plus! and 98 plus! disks and I was part of a regular ME installaiton.
I found this:
The download link appears to still be good.
If I copied the theme would it work then?
I assume that download will install the necessary files.
If you have the screensaver file--the one with an .scr extension--you can copy it to the windows\system32 folder. It should then show up in the screensaver list. But that won't make the entire mystery theme work, only the screensaver.
When I put Mystery.scr and Mystery.dll in c:/windows/system32 and went into display to pick the screensaver, I just got a blank screen. Also, in display, it is named WL32 and not Mystery.
What about the download I linked to in # 1?
It said, "This page cannot be displayed."
The page I linked to is good. It looks like it has a video that shows how to install the software. I haven't looked at the video cause I'm on dialup and everything is so slow. Is that where you're getting the error?
The download for the software is the mediafire link a little farther down the page. That works too. It's a 10.3 meg file called w98pl.exe.
I realize this was posted years ago, but I recently got the mystery screensaver working on Windows 7.
The files you need are:
The DLL files are located in CAB3 of the Microsoft 95 PLUS! folder called PLUS. They all need to be in the same folder, or placed in your system32 folder.
I can't post links to the 95 PLUS! Iso files, but google can help you OR you can purchase the cd off amazon/ebay for 5 bucks. Good luck!
Thanks for posting. I'm suprised you could still post on a thread almost 3 years old. You might want to post the info in the windows 7 forum, linking to or mentioning this thread as the reason for posting.

Florida beaches open after shark attack
14-year-old girl killed offshore in the Florida Panhandle
Jamie Marie Daigle died Saturday after being attacked by a shark near Destin, Florida.
MIRAMAR BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- The beaches of northwest Florida reopened Sunday, a day after a 14-year-old girl died in a shark attack, but were largely abandoned as visitors shied away from the water.
Jamie Daigle, of Gonzales, Louisiana, and her friend Felicia Venable, also 14, were swimming Saturday morning about 200 yards offshore in the Gulf of Mexico when they saw a dark shadow in the water, according to a statement issued Sunday by the Walton County Sheriff's Office.
Daigle was severely bitten, with bites on "the lower portions of her body," the statement said.
Police said Venable began heading for shore to get help from relatives when she saw her friend had been bitten and was being pulled under.
The attack happened at about 11:15 a.m. in front of a campground near the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in the Florida Panhandle between Pensacola and Panama City, eight miles east of Destin.
Emergency personnel were on the scene quickly and attempted to save Daigle, but she died as a result of her wounds, authorities said.
Both girls were using boogie boards, said Lt. Frank Owens of the Walton County Sheriff's Office.
"For a regular swimmer, she was pretty far out," Capt. Danny Glidewell of the sheriff's office said. Usually, only surfers go that far out in the water, he said.
Once swimmers pass the first sandbar and drop-off, "you will experience more sightings of sharks," he said, although the area has never before had a shark attack.
A shark also was spotted in area waters Sunday, closer to shore than where Saturday's attack occurred.
Daigle's family was back in Gonzales, about 60 miles west of New Orleans. Their priest, Father Gary Belsome, said he met with her relatives early Sunday.
"They're doing well," Belsome said. "They're surrounded by friends and family. People are pulling together."
Center of the 'blood pool'
Tim Dicus was surfing near the girls Saturday when he heard a scream.
"I was about 200 yards out, just past the second sandbar," Dicus said. "And when I heard the scream, I turned around and saw one of the girls swimming towards the beach frantically and the other one had disappeared and there was a big dark spot where she used to be in the water."
"She was unconscious when I got to the blood pool," Dicus said.
"So I tried to pull her from the water -- the shark had made an attack when I was trying to get her out of the water. But it gave me enough time to get her on to the board once he had to come back around to make another attack."
Dicus said the shark -- about 8 feet long -- continued to try to attack them on his surfboard as he made his way to shore.
"He was really aggressive," Dicus said. "I've been here a long time and I've never seen a shark get that aggressive."
"She was hurt really bad. It looked like she was going to at least lose her leg," Dicus said.
"The damage on her left leg was really extensive, and I didn't know whether she had just gone into shock -- but she'd pretty much stopped bleeding by the time I got her on to the beach -- so I didn't know how we were going to save her."
Dicus said he had warned other swimmers earlier in the day against going out too far, fearing shark attacks.
Although shark sightings are not uncommon along the coast, no one had seen a shark in the area Saturday before the attack, Owens said.
The area was under green flags, meaning calm surf, Glidewell said. Authorities did not know the kind of shark that attacked the girl.
Deaths from unprovoked shark attacks are rare, according to statistics compiled by the International Shark Attack File.
Seven people were killed in shark attacks worldwide in 2004, including two in the United States. California and Hawaii each recorded one shark attack death last year.
There were 12 shark attacks on Florida beaches in 2004, down sharply from 30 in 2003. Experts credit the busy hurricane season in 2004 for the lower numbers.
Shark scientist Dr. Erich Ritter said he would attend the girl's autopsy Monday morning in Pensacola.
Ritter, who describes himself as a shark behaviorist, said an examination of her wounds would reveal the shark's size, species and likely motivation.
Ritter said it is possible the girl was attacked because she got in the shark's way as it headed toward a meal.
The shark also could have mistaken splashing by the girls as activity by fish, he said. The wounds could show which it was, Ritter said.

The oil price is a little lower Wednesday, following reports suggesting OPEC could decide to increase some production rates, while keeping the current output cap in place.
That possibility has been raised, as output from some members states is well-below capacity and likely to remain that way for some time, which is exerting upward pressure on prices.
Mid-afternoon Wednesday, the price of Bent Crude was down around 0.43% at €79.25 per barrel. The price of US WTI crude, meanwhile, fell 0.35% to $71.85.
OPEC could discuss 'relaxation' of output cap
Following the oil glut which weighed heavily on the price of oil, OPEC members plus some non-members including Russia, agreed to an oil output cap. This helped ensure the price of the valuable commodity wouldn't sink so low again, while enough oil was still produced to satisfy demand.
That agreement has held since March 2017 and is currently in place until the end of 2018.
Now however, ahead of the cartel's next Vienna meeting in June, there is said to be the possibility that the group will relax the rules surrounding the output cap. And, it's the possibility of higher OPEC oil output levels that is weighing on the oil price.
Collective output cap to remain in place
While it's possible that some OPEC members could be permitted, even encouraged, to raise their output a little, the overall output level of the group as a whole is set to remain capped at current levels.
That's because right now, output from Venezuela is currently much lower than its previous levels and also its capacity. And, Iranian oil output is still likely to be hit by US sanctions.
But, although some OPEC, members are already operating at their output capacity, some aren't. To help make up the shortfall between current output and the cap, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait, will likely be permitted to exceed their individual output cap, by a little.
But, not so far as to exceed the collective output cap for the whole group adhering to the agreement.
And, despite the slight drop in oil prices Wednesday, analysts remain certain that the oil price is set to rise over the longer term, with a growing number of reports suggesting it could hit $100 per barrel by the summer of 2019.

The Munich Philharmonic and Sergiu Celibidache share an exceptional legacy. He started his work as principal conductor in 1979 and remained in this position for as long as 17 years. Sergiu Celibidache played an integral part in making the Munich Philharmonic what it is today: an orchestra of worldwide renown. Today the Munich Philharmonic is critically acclaimed internationally with hopelessly sold out concerts in Munich and the world. On their recently launched label MPHIL, the Munich Philharmonic is opening up its vast archives, giving listeners the opportunity to enjoy one of the richest collections of recordings by legendary artists. Because of the Celibidache era and its part in forming the core essence of the orchestra, this first MPHIL physical archive release consists of two recordings under the baton of Maestro Celibidache.
The chosen repertoire on the album is Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder, recorded 30 June 1983 at the Herkulessaal der Residenz, Munich and Richard Strauss' Tod und Verklärung, recorded on 17 February 1979 also at the Herkulessaal der Residenz, Munich. For a long time, Tod und Verklärung was the most popular of Richard Strauss's early tone poems. It contains a wide range of memorable motifs subtly differentiated with the result that its music recurs whenever there is mention of death or transfiguration in Strauss' later output. Together with the innocent tone and positively artificial naivete of the poems that attracted Gustav Mahler as a composer and prompted him to compose the Kindertotenlieder, this thoughtfully curated pairing creates an altogether intimate character while revealing an astonishing wealth of colours. Mahler's Kindertotenlieder feature German mezzo-soprano Brigitte Fassbaender, who holds the prestigious title "Kammersangerin" from the Bavarian State Opera and the Vienna State Opera.
|Mahler: Kindertotenlieder: I. Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgeh'n
|Mahler: Kindertotenlieder: II. Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen
|Mahler: Kindertotenlieder: III. Wenn dein Mutterlein

The Big Lebowskiis a 1998 comedy film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen . Jeff Bridges stars as Jeff Lebowski, an unemployed Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler, who is referred to (and also refers to himself) as "The Dude". After a case of mistaken identity, The Dude is introduced to a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski. When the millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is later kidnapped , he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release. The plan goes awry when The Dude's friend Walter Sobchak ( John Goodman ) schemes to keep the full ransom. Steve Buscemi , Philip Seymour Hoffman , David Huddleston , Julianne Moore , Tara Reid , and John Turturro star in the film, which is narrated by a cowboy known only as "Stranger," played by Sam Elliott .
The film is loosely based on Raymond Chandler 's novel,The Big Sleep.The original score was composed by Carter Burwell , a longtime collaborator of the Coen Brothers.The Big Lebowskiwas a disappointment at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Reviews have trended towards the positive over time, and the film has become a cult favorite ,noted for its idiosyncratic characters, dream sequences, unconventional dialogue, and eclectic soundtrack.
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski returns home only to be roughed up by two thugs claiming to be collecting money that Lebowski's wife owes a man named Jackie Treehorn. After beating him and urinating on his rug, they realize they are looking for a different person with the same name, and they leave. At the instigation of his friend and bowling teammate Walter Sobchak (Goodman), The Dude decides to seek compensation for the rug from the other Jeffrey Lebowski. The next day, the titular "Big" Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, refuses The Dude's request. The Dude meets Bunny Lebowski (Reid), the Big Lebowski's nymphomaniac trophy wife, while leaving the premises with a rug taken from the mansion.
Days later, the Big Lebowski contacts The Dude, revealing that Bunny has been kidnapped. He asks The Dude to act as a courier for the million-dollar ransom because The Dude will be able to confirm whether or not the kidnappers were the same thugs. Later, a different set of thugs enter The Dude's apartment, knock him unconscious, and steal his new rug. When Bunny's kidnappers call to arrange the ransom exchange, Walter tries to convince The Dude to keep the money and give the kidnappers a "ringer" suitcase filled with his dirty underwear. The kidnappers escape with the ringer, and The Dude and Walter are left with the million-dollar ransom. Later that night, The Dude's car is stolen, along with the briefcase filled with money. The Dude receives a message from the Big Lebowski's daughter, Maude, who admits to hiring the criminals who knocked him unconscious. The Dude visits her at her art studio, and she reveals that Bunny is a porn starlet working for Jackie Treehorn. She agrees with The Dude's suspicion that Bunny kidnapped herself and asks The Dude to recover the ransom, as it was illegally withdrawn by her father.
The Big Lebowski angrily confronts The Dude over his failure to hand over the money, and hands The Dude an envelope sent to him by the kidnappers which contains a severed toe, presumably Bunny's. The Dude later receives a message that his car has been found. Mid-message, three German nihilists invade the Dude's apartment, identifying themselves as the kidnappers. They interrogate and threaten him for the ransom money. The Dude returns to Maude's studio, where she identifies the German nihilists as Bunny's friends. The Dude picks up his car from the police, and he and Walter track down the supposed thief, a teenager named Larry Sellers. Their confrontation with Larry is unsuccessful, and the Dude and Walter leave without getting any money or information.
Jackie Treehorn's thugs return to The Dude's apartment to bring him to Treehorn's beach house in Malibu . Treehorn inquires about the whereabouts of Bunny, and the money, offering him a cut of any funds recovered. Treehorn then drugs The Dude's drink and The Dude passes out. After a surreal dream sequence blending the themes of bowling, the Persian Gulf War, Maude's "vaginal" art, and the nihilists, The Dude wakes up in a police car and is then placed in front of the police chief of Malibu. The police chief physically assaults The Dude and warns him not to return to Malibu. After a cab ride home, The Dude is greeted by Maude Lebowski, who seduces him. During post-coital conversation with Maude, The Dude learns that she hopes to conceive a child with him but wants him to have no hand in the child's upbringing. He also finds out that, despite appearances, her father has no money of his own. Maude's late mother was the rich one, and she left her money exclusively to the family charity. In a flash, The Dude unravels the whole scheme: when the Big Lebowski heard that Bunny was kidnapped, he used it as a pretense for an embezzlement scheme, in which he withdrew the ransom money from the family charity. He kept it for himself, gave an empty briefcase to The Dude (who would be the fall guy on whom he pinned the theft), and was content to let the kidnappers kill Bunny.
Meanwhile, it is now clear that the kidnapping was itself a ruse: while Bunny took an unannounced trip, the nihilists (her friends) alleged a kidnapping in order to get money from her husband. The Dude and Walter arrive at the Big Lebowski residence, finding Bunny back at home from her trip. They confront the Big Lebowski with their version of the events. The affair apparently over, The Dude and his bowling teammates are once again confronted by the nihilists, who have set the Dude's car on fire. They once again demand the million dollars. After telling the nihilists what they knew, the nihilists demand all the money in their pockets. Walter responds by biting one nihilist's ear off, throwing a bowling ball at another's ribs, and knocking the final nihilist unconscious with their portable radio. However, in the aftermath, Donny has a heart attack and dies.
Walter and The Dude go to a cliff overlooking a beach to scatter Donny's ashes. After an informal eulogy which Walter turns into a tribute to the Vietnam War and accidentally covers The Dude with Donny's ashes, Walter suggests, "Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling." The movie ends with closing comments from "The Stranger" at the bar of the bowling alley, who hints that Maude may be pregnant with a "little Lebowski."

On April 4, Big Jones in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood is celebrating Easter all day with an enhanced brunch menu and a family-style dinner to end the evening. The brunch menu will include such items such as soft-shell crawfish, Carolina golden eggs, chicken 'n' biscuits and Big Jones' take on Easter ham. Dinner, which is priced at $40 per person, includes a progression of family-style appetizers, individual entrées and family-style desserts.

A restaurant that has made its mark in Cool Springs and Bellevue, is now set to make a name for itself in Mt. Juliet.
Jonathan's Grille opened its upscale sports bar restaurant recently, and Mt. Juliet residents are finding out about what people in Cool Springs and Bellevue have been talking about for years."Our real emphasis is on the food," said Partner Mason Revelette.
Revelette said the majority of the restaurants in Providence Marketplace are chain restaurants, while Jonathan's Grille is locally and family owned.
"They do what they do, and they do it well, but we are doing something different," said Revelette.
Revelette said that Jonathan's separates itself from other sports bars because they focus on giving a nicer quality meal. There are no plastic baskets and paper lining for the food.
Jonathan's is classic American fare, but Revelette said they try to incorporate healthier options on their menu, such as wraps, salads and fresh fruit.
"We want to be the local's place," said Revelette. He said that he hopes that the Mt. Juliet community continues to grow with them. In the Cool Springs location, he said there are people that come in everyday, sit in the same spot, and everyone knows them.
"I know it's cheesy, but we want to be like 'Cheers,'" said Revelette.
Jonathan's Grille has put a lot of thought into the layout of the restaurant. In the front, there is the dining area, and a patio out front. It is separate from the large bar area, which also has its own patio. Revelette said it's good to keep the two things separate so you can have the best of both worlds depending on what you want your dining experience to be. There is also a private room for parties up to 20-25 people.
In the bar, Jonathan's Grille has subscriptions to all major sports networks like MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA and tons of college sports as well. They have free Wi-Fi as well so you can check your fantasy team while watching the game.
There is some kind of drink special every day of the week. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays is 2-for-Tuesday from open until 10 p.m. There is also 2-for-1 beer on Sunday. There are also different food specials daily.
Jonathan's Grille is located at 613 South Mt. Juliet Road in the Publix shopping center. They can be reached at (615)288-2167.

I would never in a million years thought that I would ever label myself a morning person! And I am pretty sure my Mum, Dad, Brother and also Curly would totally have agreed with that statement!
But in the last year, working from home, I can hand on heart say I try to approach each morning positively, upbeat, awake and ready to hit the day. To be honest, having a morning routine really helps with this, and this I have been working on for the last 2 years! Also having a puppy….as much as I would love him to doesn't have a snooze button, so when Denzel is ready to get up, boy do I know about it!
So whilst before I started working from home I had a full on job in the city, which meant I had to get up early every morning. Setting the alarm at 5am most days, I would be so sleepy, feel lazy and sluggish and just generally pretty grumpy and not too nice to be around in the mornings. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I am perfect in the mornings now, and I definitely have some off days, but now I feel much happy in the mornings.
I'm definitely a night owl, working till late into the night and I don't go to bed most evenings till after 11pm, which is something I am really trying to work on to make my mornings that little it easier. So here are just a couple of things that I have found have helped me become more of a morning person.
1, Don't set your alarm earlier than necessary! I don't know about you but alot of the time I don't need to get up 3 hours earlier than I need to. For such a long time I felt guilty if I wasn't up by 6am! Well that's crazy! I know that if I allow myself an extra half an hour, maybe even an hours sleep, that can make all the difference! And if I know I need to be up at the crack of dawn, then I definitely make sure I head to bed earlier.
2, Have a routine! So for me, the first thing I do once I am up is wash my face, head downstairs to let Denzel out and have a glass of water. This never used to happen, I used to sort of roll out of bed and have a cup of tea, but I know that if I start my day off on the right foot it goes so much better! I am trying to nail not reading my emails and social media straight away and wait for a couple of hours after I have woken up, but I think that one is going to take some time.
3, Make sure you eat something! I never used to eat breakfast, would always skip it and now thinking back on it I wonder if that contributed to me being so flippin' grumpy in the mornings. Now I make sure I have something before I start work. I feel I should definitely eat healthier breakfasts (new years resolution?) but sometimes I can't stomach a full meal, or I am rushing and think its better to eat something than not at all. Usually I will have porridge, or scrambled egg on toast, or if I am in a rush just some toast, a bowl of cereal, or even just a piece of fruit.
I would love to know if you have any tips on being a morning person? I recently started reading a book called the Miracle Morning! Its brilliant so far, and will fill you in once I have finished but the backbone so far is having routine and starting your morning with intention – and having put some of these things into practise, I can definitely see the benefit!
Much love, Charlotte x

Raw Food ProductsPosted: December 18, 2014 Filed under: Wild Food | Tags: Cooking Elk, Cooking Salmon, Cooking Wild Duck 1 Comment
Tuesday dinners with Smarty are fast becoming one of my favorite traditions, and something I look forward to all week. It started as a combination excuse to hang out and a way of consuming the mass quantities of waterfowl that are unfortunate enough to come within range of Smarty's 12 gauge. That's Smarty's hunting partner, Honey, posing with another pile of mallards that are waiting to be picked, cleaned and cooked in a hot oven for a very short time. These Eastern Washington corn-fed ducks are incredibly big and fat. And delicious. I doubt I will ever tire of eating 'em.
More recently, our menu has expanded. Ducks are still the mainstay, but now we're supplementing with some other treats. That's last week's gorgeous, fat-laden Puget Sound winter blackmouth fillet above, salted, steaked and ready for the grill. It's not quite Columbia spring Chinook, but nothing comes closer than this. Especially in December.
Finally, we have elk steaks, courtesy of my good friend Kate Taylor, who not only tipped the behemoth over, but delivered the goods to my house. Did I say "good friend?" I meant great. As in awesome. I marinated these slabs in olive oil, garlic and a bit of rosemary overnight. Hit 'em with kosher salt and cracked pepper, then two minutes a side on a raging barbecue and it was pure, melt-in-your-mouth heaven. I'm already looking forward to next Tuesday.

As promised, "what I bought and what I thought" of comics I bought on the week of December 11!
1. HATE ANNUAL 3: In which we check in with Buddy Bradley and family again, along with some strips Pete Bagge did for various venues. Absolutely hilarious throughout, with several of the Leeway stories and especially the Murry Wilson strips as highlights. Hell, I'd pay 5 bucks for a full issue of Wilson Family Adventures! Worth noting that not only are Murry, Brian and Dennis (along with the rest of the Beach Boys in cameos) featured, but we also get Bagge's hysterical rendition of Charlie Manson! A
2. POWERS 26: Great art, great (if somewhat overly familiar after previous arcs) script. Deena Pilgrim is getting one great wisecrack per issue, and is fast becoming one of my favorite characters. It remains to be seen whether Bendis can go anywhere with this book besides creating dysfunctional superhero groups to propel his plots forward. A
3. FABLES TPB: While I was a bit annoyed at how clumsily the actual plot of writer Willingham's mystery was executed, and how underwhelming the final revelation turned out to be (of course, it didn't help that I had already read #'s 6 & 7), I was still won over by how cleverly he put a twist on all the old fairy tale conventions. The often Bollandesque art wasn't too bad, either, although it was a little stiff and awkward looking in places. So am I sorry I didn't pick up on this book sooner? No. Am I glad I'm on board now? Yes. B+.
4. HAWKMAN 10: Pretty standard superheroics, following the established Hawkman series template: Hawkman traveling the globe to battle weird menaces. I've always had a soft spot for stories that take place in Tibet (comes from growing up reading Doc Savage and Howard novels, y'know), so I kinda liked. Kinda. Problem is, previous attempts to follow the gardner Fox Hawkman template always result in cancellation. Rags Morales is on his way to becoming the Frazetta of his generation, and as always is the MVP of this book. B+
5. KILLRAVEN 3: This well drawn and indifferently scripted Mad Max knockoff is alternately silly and engaging, if you're in a good mood. You know, this book kinda reminds me of this series that Marvel published back in the 70s, in the Amazing Adventures comic, titled War of the Worlds. Except it's nowhere near as good. Only three more issues to go. C+
Music today so far: Suzanne Vega-Nine Objects of Desire, Uriah Heep (stop snickering)-Classic Heep: An Anthology (oh, go ahead, snicker), and Sparklehorse-Good Morning Spider.

Can You Do HIIT with Weights?
If boring cardio machines aren't for you, apply basic HIIT parameters to your favourite calisthenic or light weight movements
Just about everyone's aware of the revolution that has overtaken how we do cardio training. That is, you can still sit on an exercise bike or walk on the treadmill for long periods doing low-intensity exercise, or, even better, you can use high-intensity interval training (HIIT) instead. With HIIT, you alternate short periods of very high intensity work with short recovery intervals, a protocol that burns more calories and more body fat and provides a greater cardiovascular benefit … all in lesstime!
What's news is that HIIT training isn't just for cardio machines anymore! You can apply the same techniques to calisthenic or light weight workouts to get the same benefits without ever having to step on a cardio machine. Let's see how!
Critical Conditions
HIIT is one of the most important exercise revelations we've witnessed. But it's not just restricted to the average or casual athlete; some forms of it can improve performance in already very highly trained athletes, with many more high-level long-distance runners and cyclists having adopted it over the last few years.
Let's start by defining HIIT, since there seems to be a great deal of confusion. I've come up with one (based on all the published studies in which HIIT caused substantial losses of body fat): HIIT consists of a series of at least four intense intervals of at least 90 percent effort, where the intervals are from 20 to 60 seconds interspersed by slow/rest intervals that are between one and four minutes. As a rule of thumb, don't start your next interval until your breathing rateis almost back to normal.
One other point about the research on HIIT is that almost all of the studies done on it have used cycle ergometers or treadmill running. (See my MuscleDiet YouTube videos for more details on how such protocols are set up.) So what does this mean for "other" forms of HIIT? Without question, HIIT targeting the legs and glutes is highly effective because those are the largest muscle groups of the body. But what about training focused only on the upper body? In fact, it appears HIIT is effective here as well. Studies in kayakers show that HIIT does improve fitness in the upper body similarly to what occurs with running and cycling.
However, no one can say for surethat doing HIIT with weights or calisthenics is as effective. Theoretically, if you can get the heart and breathing rate just as high, and you can produce a similar amount of lactate and deplete as much glycogen, then these forms would be expected to have the same effect.
You see, HIIT works in two main ways, and this is important. For one, it burns the calories from the exercise itself, which is pretty apparent. But unlike low-intensity exercise, high-intensity intervals result in raising your metabolism for the next 24 hours; that is, you increase your oxygen consumption above what it might have been. That oxygen is required for the body to burn body fat as fuel, so exercise scientists want to measure what's called the "excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). The problem is, unless breathing, heart rate, lactate and glycogen depletion are all similarlyaffected during these alternative types of HIIT workouts, we can't be confident of getting the similar results.
Well, producing high lactate and burning off glycogen are fairly easy (albeit painful, the muscle-burning type of pain) to do, but what about breathing and heart-rate elevations? I'm just not sure it's as easy to achieve similar bounces with weights or calisthenics as you can with cardio.
Therefore, the best alternate HIIT protocol is probably doing multi-joint movements that can be done with a high cadence. So things such as jumping squats, jumping lunges, medicine-ball throws, and kettlebell swings are likely to work best. Again, the key to this is 20 to 60 seconds of "high" level work, and don't do your next intense interval until that breathing rate has come back down.
Follow the above-mentioned protocol for a minimum of four sequences, though you can certainly do more as your conditioning improves. With a warm-up and cool-down included, your workout doesn't have to be longer than 25 to 30 minutes, tops.

Reintegration Tips for Returning Vets
From the Utica Observer-Dispatch:
Fred Bush, a clinical social worker with the Veterans' Administration hospital in Syracuse, said he has seen many returning soldiers who exhibit a wide range of feelings and reactions as they try to readjust to their old home lives. "Everybody will have some sort of readjustment issues," he said. "Whatever a person has experienced will never go away, and we should never forget what we've done," he said, "But if you can learn to live with them, and symptoms are not stopping you from having a productive life, (it's alright)."
It's when the symptoms don't go away or start to interfere with relationships or the soldier's ability to function professionally or in other ways that the returning soldier should seek help. ... It's estimated many as 30 percent of those may need clinical intervention at some time, he said. Each returning veteran must readjust to life in the United States after experiencing things most American civilians can't fully comprehend.
Click on 'Article Link' below tags for his reintegration tips...
•Readjustment issues are normal, but if they persist, the returning soldier should seek help from a mental health professional.
•Watch for acute changes to behavior, like excessive drinking, social isolation or high levels of anxiety.
•It's normal for a person returning from a combat situation to sleep lightly for a while, but continued problems sleeping, or repeated bad dreams could be a sign help is needed.
•A readjustment period in a marriage after being in a war zone is common. Home-life patterns may have shifted in the soldier's absence. It helps to let the returning spouse feel needed and have them take on responsibilities they used to perform, even if the spouse who stayed home had been doing them.
•It's helpful if a returning soldier can find at least one person to talk to about their experiences. Family and friends should let soldiers know, without badgering or pressuring, that they're willing to listen.
•Returning soldiers shouldn't be afraid to share their experiences with people close to them. It can help to talk. Also, some soldiers think they shouldn't tell their loved ones about dangerous or disturbing situations they faced, because they don't want to hurt or upset them. It can still be important to share those stories with the right person and to reach out for support.
•Returning soldiers may have been near explosions, and could have undiagnosed brain injuries. Behaving out of character can be a sign of such an injury.
•No matter what your view of the politics surrounding the war, be sensitive when talking about them to a returning veteran. A "thank you" or a pat on the back can go a long way.
•For information about readjustment issues faced by returning soldiers, or to find out how to get help, call the Veterans' Administration's TelCare information line at 1-888-838-7890. To ask Veterans Administration Clinical Social Worker Fred Bush to speak at your organization, call 425-4400 ext 52719.

Kirkliston signed off the end of their competitive 2016 outdoor season by capturing a mainstream national honour in the shape of the Andrew D Mackellar Inter County Top Five Singles Championship played at Edinburgh venue Sighthill.Read More
The design and birth of The Top Five Singles format originated from within the Kirkliston club in 1977 so, as with its older brother The Top Ten (1975), it is always a source of great pride when The Cheesetown Boys emerge the king pins in the national arenas of both events.
The final at Sighthill pitched the West Lothian champions against their Edinburgh & Leith counterparts in the shape of mighty capital campaigners Carrick Knowe so the extra dimension of local rivalry set the scene for an epic encounter.The line up produced juicy head to head confrontations in the shape of Raymond Logan v Paul O'Donnell; Steven Forrest v Richard Tough; Mark Allison v James Hogg; Grant Logan v Colin Mitchell; and Neil Speirs v Darren Hush.
Kirkliston emerged the 3-2 winners from a melting pot situation that sizzled from start to finish and with temperatures reaching fever pitch the climax was a cauldron of excited anticipation in both camps. Carrick Knowe claimed first blood with Paul O'Donnell delivering at the 21-10 expense of Raymond Logan, the former Edinburgh Open champion making strong headway to lead the 1998 national champion 18-8 then claiming his scalp in 16-ends.
Kirkliston were brought into the picture through Steven Forrest with the Scotland cap answering the challenge of a 13-12 deficit with a spectacular run of 1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1 to score a vital 21-13 win in 25-ends over recently crowned EBL champion Richard Tough.
Mark Allison moved Kirkliston into a 2-1 lead with the recent WL Master finalist adding 4, 2 to lead James Hogg 18-11 then going onto beat the prominent internationalist, 21-18 in 21-ends. Carrick Knowe kept their challenge alive with their icon figure Colin Mitchell edging a 21-20 thriller in 25-ends over fellow cap Grant Logan, the 5 times Tait Trophy champion battling back from 18-14 down to nip the 4 times WL Master on the line.
The final spotlight focused on multi successful gold medal personality Neil Speirs against the national title winning skills (Pairs) of Darren Hush and the capture of the national crown went right down to the wire.
Speirs looked in trouble at 19-17 down but treated the entire banking to a grandstand style finish of 1, 2, 1 that swept him over the line to clinch game and title with a 21-19 win in 25-ends. "Great bowling skills from both clubs and the final was a sheer joy to watch" was one of the tweets on the website of host Association E&L. The semi finals action saw Kirkliston beat Stranraer 3-0 and Carrick Knowe beat Inverkeithing by the same score.

By Shameka Pollard -- Something amazing happened this summer. I was able to complete my first sprint triathlon. This is amazing because I could not swim. Another issue was that I was not a stronger biker. I attended one of Fleet Feet's Triathlon Training information sessions and talked with Shahin. I told him my issues, and he encouraged me to train with them. I started in June with Collin as my swim coach and Kyli as my bike coach. I mentioned that I couldn't swim, right? That was an understatement because I was completely terrified of the water. The truth is, I would have some serious panic attacks in the pool and it wasn't pretty. It was scary and very embarrassing. It would have been so easy to quit because I started to think learning to swim and getting more comfortable in the water would never happen. I honestly felt like I was wasting Collin's time and taking up valuable lane space in the pool. The funny thing is this is just how I was feeling, but I was never treated that way. Collin continued to work with me and refused to give up on me. The amazing thing about this group is the ridiculous amount of encouragement, inspiration and motivation they offer. The advanced swimmers took the time to encourage me and tell me how and where they started. I would see people in the advanced lane just zipping along and learn that they started the training program just 2 years prior and couldn't swim a lap free style.
It ended up taking a village to get me to swim my very first lap free style; that village consisted of Collin, Cheryl and Shahin. The morning I finally swam my first lap, I got to my car and cried because I was so happy and honestly shocked. I was still terrified of the water and would panic, but I was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I could swim one lap, but it took everything out of me physically and mentally. At this point, I was still fighting the water and had no idea how I would be able to cover the distance necessary for a sprint triathlon even with rest breaks.
I eventually recruited Wendie to help me with my anxiety and increasing my ability to consistently swim a lap before falling apart. She has worked alongside Shahin, and she is a blessing. She gave me the confidence to actually know that I could complete a sprint triathlon. I knew there was a chance it would not be pretty, but I knew I could make it from one end of the pool to the other. My anxiety had been so extreme that I missed the traditional sprint triathlons held in July and August. I wasn't ready at that time, but when I was ready there was the Anchor Splash Sprint Triathlon. At this point, I could swim 25 yards at a time with less frequent and less severe panic attacks. I was usually able to recover and complete my lap if I did experience one of my episodes. My timing with my breathing wasn't great and I couldn't completely relax in the water. However, I felt better about the swim and knew I needed to do this triathlon for myself and for all of the people who helped me during this training season.
Anchor Splash is a reverse triathlon where you run, then bike and then swim. The swim for this race was 300 yards. I, of course, had to pick the race with the longest swim for a pool sprint triathlon. Once I registered, Collin, Shahin, Wendie and Kyli were so excited. I was happy that they were excited, because I was petrified. Race day arrived. I was a nervous wreck, but my parents came to town to watch, a couple of friends came to watch and I had the Fleet Feet Team there. The run and the bike went well, but the thought of that swim was hanging over me. By the time I came in to transition from the bike, I was in full panic mode. Something wonderful happened; Shahin and Collin walked me down to the pool. They stayed on one end of the pool deck while Kyli and Wendie were on the other end. I got in the pool and focused on swimming one lap at a time to reach my coaches.
Each lap was a fight; I would get under that water and doubt would creep in. I felt like I was getting closer to a panic attack, but I also knew I had my coaches waiting for me and I knew there were a lot of people rooting for me. So, I had to finish no matter how long it took me and no matter how ugly this might be. I had to stop at the wall after each lap to rest and try to calm myself down. The best thing was having my coaches there who were reassuring me that everything was okay.
It felt like the swim took forever, but I finally made it to my last lap. During my swim to the pool exit, I could not believe that I was completely afraid to put my face in the water in June and I was now on my way to finishing my very first sprint triathlon. I climbed out of the pool to find Kyli and Wendie right there waiting for me and all I could do was cry. As I came around the corner on the pool deck, there was a huge Fleet Feet crowd cheering for me. I, of course, cried even harder because these people are amazing. They have all been so encouraging and have been a major source of motivation for me. I know without a doubt that I was only able to accomplish this because of these wonderful people. I thought completing a sprint triathlon would be impossible, but the training program has made it possible. Through this training program, I have met some wonderful people, learned so much and met so many goals. Every minute of that swim was a struggle for me, but as soon as I climbed out of the pool I knew I wanted to get better. I will definitely be back for more. I can't wait for next year's triathlon training.
