For more than half my life, I have been party to the ongoing burial of a literary reputation. Strangely enough, I don't think my victim entirely deserves it.
One hundred years ago, in the August issue of Poetry magazine, Alfred Joyce Kilmer published "Trees." This stubbornly enduring work needs no introduction. Even the smallest schoolchild can lisp: "I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as a tree." Come Arbor Day, every two-bit garden club recites "Trees" as it plants a sapling; Alfalfa Switzer crooned it — or rather, whined it — in a memorable "Our Gang" short.
Of course, "Trees" is a notoriously awful poem. It is singsongy and saccharine. Its imagery is preposterous. As Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks pointed out in their book, "Understanding Poetry," any anthropomorphic flora "whose hungry mouth is prest / Against the earth's sweet flowing breast" as it "looks at God all day, / And lifts her leafy arms to pray" would be "strangely deformed" indeed.
The thing has yielded innumerable parodies. "I think that I shall never see / A billboard lovely as a tree. / Indeed, unless the billboards fall / I'll never see a tree at all," Ogden Nash wrote in "Song of the Open Road." In "Chee$e," Thomas Merton tweaked his fellow Trappists for trading briskly in their popular foodstuff: "I think that we should never freeze / Such lively assets as our cheese." He signed his spoof "Joyce Killer-Diller."
In the movie "Superman II," when Valerie Perrine declares, "I like 'Trees,' " Gene Hackman responds, "So does your average cocker spaniel."
I have been a member of that critical chorus since 1985. That was when I revived an ancient Columbia University literary society called Philolexian, whose alumni include Jacques Barzun (class of 1927), Allen Ginsberg (1948), Merton (1938) and Kilmer himself (1908). One of my accomplices in this enterprise, Michael Kaufmann — now a respectable professor of English at Temple University — joked that we should conduct a wretched poetry competition in Kilmer's honor.
And so we have. Every fall, up to 300 Columbia students pack Philolexian's annual Alfred Joyce Kilmer Memorial Bad Poetry Contest to hear original doggerel composed by their classmates that is intended to produce laughter, cringes or sheer disbelief. Here's a fragment from "The Ballad of Sweet Donna Lee," by Everett Patterson, which took the laurels in 2003:
A great swell of music arose in his breast
His heart, like an alien, leapt from his chest
His soul, like a joy-bomb, exploded with joy
At that moment, gladdest of all freshman boys.
The evening culminates in a thunderous group chant of Kilmer's magnum opus, with particular emphasis on "Poems are made by fools like me" — which Heywood Broun called not only "a wholly spurious humility" but also "the most insincere line ever written by mortal man."
Had poor Kilmer never published anything besides "Trees," the modernist intelligentsia would still have pilloried him for its 80 trite words alone. As it is, he turned out several volumes of verse before he was killed on the Western Front on July 30, 1918, at age 31. Most of his work, like "Trees," was simplistic and sappy. In "Delicatessen," Kilmer finds that merely by plying his humble trade, a deli owner is somehow angelic: "He fights, and for his fireside's sake; / He fights for clothing and for bread: / The lances of his foemen make / A steely halo round his head."
Note the halo. Central to both Kilmer's work and the prevailing disdain of it is his deep Catholicism, to which he converted after his daughter Rose contracted infantile paralysis. Most of his efforts fairly drip with piety, even when the subject is as mundane as New Jersey mass transit. The train in "The Twelve-Forty-Five" is an instrument of the Devil ("I ride, I blasphemously ride / Through all the silent countryside"), disturbing the peaceful faith of the Garden State ("Why, even strident Paterson / Rests quietly as any nun"). In the end, though, the wicked locomotive receives absolution ("My cottage lamp shines white and clear. / God bless the train that brought me here").
This sort of stuff was unlikely to survive the arrival of Prufrock.
Yet in his heyday, Kilmer was a rising literary star. He made it into Who's Who at 25, around the time he joined the staff of The New York Times Magazine. The corresponding secretary of the Poetry Society of America, he was published in Town & Country, The Smart Set and The Nation. He ran the poetry departments of Current Literature and The Literary Digest; the latter eulogized him as "a very gallant gentleman who never wrote a line that was not pure, and sweet, and clean." Reviewing his posthumous two-volume "Poems, Essays, and Letters" here, Charles Willis Thompson, an editorial writer for The Times, declared: "The German bullet that slew Joyce Kilmer at the Ourcq slew a brilliant promise. It could not slay a brilliant partial fulfillment."
It is quite possible, even probable, that if that bullet hadn't cut Kilmer down in his prime and enshrined him as a martyr, he would not have achieved immortality. Still, no poet who could warrant a namesake forest in North Carolina, or a park in the Bronx, or a service area on the New Jersey Turnpike can be wholly without merit.
Every year it falls to me as "Avatar" of Philolexian to kick off the Kilmer event by presenting a biographical sketch of the man. By now, I have my routine down pat. After outlining Kilmer's life and enumerating his poetic sins, I ask, "But was he really bad?" Invariably the audience shouts, "Yes!" And I roar back, "You're wrong!"
Kilmer, I inform the snarky undergrads, is what George Orwell in his essay on Kipling called a "good bad poet." After dismissing most of Kipling's verse as "horribly vulgar," Orwell concedes it nonetheless is "capable of giving pleasure to people who know what poetry means." Admit it, Orwell says. Unless you're "merely a snob and a liar," you get at least some enjoyment out of something like "Mandalay." That's because it's a good bad poem, which Orwell defines as "a graceful monument to the obvious. It records in memorable form — for verse is a mnemonic device, among other things — some emotion which very nearly every human being can share."
That's a fair take on much of Kilmer. Yes, he was proof of Oscar Wilde's pronouncement that "all bad poetry springs from genuine feeling." But he could still touch certain chords with crude, shameless offerings like "The House With Nobody in It":
I never have seen a haunted house, but I hear there are such things;
That they hold the talk of spirits, their mirth and sorrowings.
I know this house isn't haunted, and I wish it were, I do;
For it wouldn't be so lonely if it had a ghost or two.
If you insist on rejecting this admittedly hokey notion utterly, never musing that "only God can make a tree" upon beholding a particularly soaring oak . . . well, take your pick. Are you an Orwellian snob or an Orwellian liar?
I thought so. So here's wishing you a happy 100th birthday, "Trees," in all your inane glory. I just hope that when my spirit finally communes with that of your creator, he will evince the Christian charity by which he lived his short life and forgive some impious upstarts for making sport of him, assured that it is their own peculiar form of homage.

Bhindi Aloo Bhujia is one of my favorite memories from childhood, a bihari way of making bhindi, as rustic as it can get, and creates magic, when served with basic tadka dal, and steamed rice. I have memories of having this in sunny winter afternoons with a slight chilly nip in the air.
I have fond memories of winter lunches at home. Amma would prepare fresh meals for us everyday, i have never seen food lying in the refrigerator, everything cooked on the same day, same time, and she was brilliant with her measures, food would never be less, but never be too much to be dumped in the refrigerator. Iam kinda proud that i follow the same principles as Amma, and create fresh meals for us.
So this quick to cook bhindi aloo bhujiya is also special because, unlike other bhindi recipes, it doesnt need too much bhindi to suffice for all, what a point eh?, dont we all worry about it when we make bhindi. I always say, someone invented this form of bhindi when they had less bhindi and more people to feed, and what an idea! I simply love this combo, indeed more than the regular bhindi. Serve it with dal, rice and some papad to go on side.
If you are looking for more bhindi recipes, try this Kurkuri Bhindi, and also this Hyderabadi Dahi Bhindi
Serves : 2
- 250 gms bhindi, washed and dried.
- 2 medium sized potato, peeled and diced.
- 2 onions, thinly sliced.
- 3-4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 2 pinches of grated ginger
- 2 tbsp mustard oil for frying.
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp amchoor powder
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Cut the vegetables. Bhindi, in 1 inch pieces. Potator in 1/2 inch dices, Onions, 1 inch long thin slices.
- Heat the oil in a kadhai, pan, and let it fume, before adding the veggies.
- When the oil has fumed add the potato dices, and fry it on medium high, for 4-5 minutes, till it had browned edges.
- Add the ginger, garlic and the onion slices, and fry for 2-3 minutes, till onions becomes translucent.
- Now add the bhindi, and increase the flame a little to fry and cook the bhindi.
- Add the masalas after 4-5 minutes, when the bhindi looks a little wilted.
- At this stage you can fry for 2-3 minutes, and cover for 3-4 minutes, if you are not patient.
- Else cool on medium high on open, to get the perfect color of both bhindi and potatoes.
- Serve hot with dal, rice and papad.
- If you don't like mustard oil, replace it with your regular refined oil, the mustard oil just adds to the earthyness in the taste.
- If mustard oil is fumed well before the cooking, it doesn't smell raw and stauchy, as many experience. [Learnt this from a good friend Rohan, ages back! and its an awesome tip to keep in mind while cooking with mustard oil]
- If you don't have amchoor, add a little chat masala, or anardana, or just a 1/4 tsp of lemon juice.
- Add few pinches of sugar, increase the spice, and you have another level of flavor to experience.

Cryptococcosis is a pulmonary, meningeal or systemic mycotic disease of human beings and animals. It may be acute, subacute or chronic. The disease is caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, a non-fermenting, non-sporulating, encapsulated yeast- like fungus which occurs abundantly in old pigeon excreta. The pulmonary form is usually mild, benign, and transitory and often goes unnoticed. Though the pathogen has a tendency to invade central nervous system, lesions may also occur in bone, liver, spleen, kidney, skin and other organs during dissemination. The natural infection of central nervous system has been more frequently recorded in small animals. The affections of lung, lymphnodes, nose, eye, mouth, skin, intestinal tract and mammary gland have also been noticed in many animals. This fungus has been recognized as the most important pathogen of mycotic mastitis in the cow, buffalo, sheep and goat. The infection is often serious and may occur both in sporadic and epidemic forms.
Cryptococcosis has a broad host range. The disease has been reported in cattle, horse, dog, goat, monkey, sheep, pig, buffalo, cat, mink, cheetah, baboon, ferret and bat. Though the disease is world-wide in distribution, the source of sporadic infections has not been fully established. It has been presumed that human and animals acquire the infection from the saprobic reservoirs in which fungus grows preferentially. Presently, pigeon droppings are considered the main source of infection and respiratory tract is the most common route of entry. C. neoformans lacks the ability to form a true mycelium.Symptoms: Clinical signs of cryptococcosis are not well defined. In cats the lesions have been reported in brain, lymphnodes, lung, nostril, tonsil and skin. The wound is usually non-suppurative and contains tenacious, translucent and gelatinous fluid. In dogs, cryptococcal infections are mainly recorded in central nervous system and lungs. The dog shows anorexia, listlessness, emaciation, dilatation of pupils, blindness, epileptic form seizures besides severe dysponea and nasal discharge. Autopsy reveals consolidation of lungs, congestion of meninges, enlargement of spleen and nodules in the liver. Monkeys also suffer from pulmonary and cerebral cryptococcosis; the clinical signs more over resemble with dog. In horses, infection usually involves upper respiratory tract particularly nose and is characterized by persistent nasal discharge and myxoma-like growth in nasal passage. The yeast has also been isolated from the lip, brain and intestinal tract. Among the milch animals, cows are most commonly affected with C. neoformans and suffer from mastitis. There is swelling of one or more quarter, reduction in milk yield, swelling of supramammary lymphnodes, reduced appetite and mild fever. On palpation the mammary gland appears full, firm and indurated. Mucilagenous greyish white, stringly discharge comes out from the teats. In addition, the pathogen has also been isolated from the lymphnode, abomasum and endocardium of cattle.
Diagnosis: The diagnosis may be made by direct microscopic examination of circular, yeast-like encapsulated cells in the nasal discharge, milk, cerebrospinal fluid, urine or other body discharge. The affected organs show slimy, mucilagenous appearance on autopsy. Histological examination of brain, lung, liver, spleen, lymphnode and kidney reveals the presence of yeast-like encapsulated cells with or without budding, tissue reaction takes place when stained with mucicarmine and silver methanamine. C. neoformans differs culturally from the dimorphic systemic fungi in that it forms smoth, mucoid, yeastlike colonies when incubated at 20 °C and 37°C.Identification is confirmed by characteristic growth on cornmeal agar, rapid urease production, inability to reduce nitrate and brown pigmentation on nigerseed creatinine agar (Bird's seed agar). In the genus Cryptococcus, only C. neoformans assimilates the purine creatinine. C. neoformans selectively absorbs a pigment derived from Guizotia abyssinica seeds (nigerseed), thereby causing the colony to become brown. The morphology of the isolate is studied in lactophenol mount. Capsule of C. neoformans can be demonstrated in India ink preparation. Animal inoculation test is conducted in mice to find out the pathogenicity of the isolate recovered from clinical specimens. Mice can be infected by intraperitoneal, intracerebral or intramuscular routes. Serological tests, particularly latex agglutination and tube agglutination, are also helpful in cryptococcal diagnosis. Skin test with cryptococcin is not of much si gn if ic a n c e . Di ffe r e nt ia l d i a g no sis s ho ul d b e ma d e fr o m b l a s to myc o si s, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis and tuberculosis.
Treatment and prevention: There is no satisfactory treatment for cryptococcosis in large animals. However, human beings and lower animals may be treated with 5- flurocytosine at 15-150 mg/ kg body weight intravenously. The severe form of cryptococcal mastitis is rather difficult to treat; affected animals may be destroyed. In mild form, cycloheximide at 2 mg/ quarter for 9 days may be tried, proper sterilisation of dairy utensils, syringes and needles used for intramammary infusion, segregation of the affected animal and personal hygiene of dairy attendants may also help to minimize the cases of cryptococcal mastitis in dairy animals.

Week in Review
So I have to confess...I found out I was pregnant in January of 2006 and almost immediately any desire I had ever had to cook went out the window. I was very fortunate in that I didn't really have any morning sickness at all...however, I did just feel nauseated from time to time...especially when I smelled food cooking...especially if I was cooking it. My sweet husband was very patient with me and we cooked some together, I cooked some from time to time and we did a lot of eating out. Now mind you...we're fairly frugal people, so the majority of our eating out was probably under $15 for a meal for both of us (including tip) - sometimes under $12...we have a great little place down the road from us, Classic Cafe that takes Buddy's Lot coupons, but I digress. It's now 2+ years later and I've just never gotten back into the swing of cooking like I should. It feels like a constant battle for me...I finally realized that it's not so much the cooking, but the coming up with what to cook that drives me crazy, so we've both started working together to come up with weekly menu options and then it's much easier to do the cooking without feeling like I'm shouldering a huge burden. All of that to say, I thought I would share what we cooked this past week as well as a recipe that we came up with for a delightful stir-fry. In addition to maybe sharing some dinner planning ideas I know that posting menus here will also help hold me accountable to cook the way I should! So here is our deal for last week:
Monday: Chinese takeout @ my parents' house (before they went on vacation)
Tuesday: dinner @ Classic on the way to pick up Walker
Wednesday: Tacos/Gorditas with refried beans and fixings
Thursday: Chicken/Veggie Stirfry w/ Lomein Noodles (recipe to follow)
Friday: Spaghetti w/ meatballs
Saturday: meatball subs

About Bill Fay
Obscure British singer/songwriter Bill Fay made a couple of albums in the early '70s that matched Dylanesque songwriting with unusual arrangements. Fay had actually done his first single, "Some Good Advice"/"Screams in the Ears," for Deram back in 1967, produced by early Donovan co-manager Peter Eden. The single introduced his characteristic downbeat melodies and scrambled poetic lyrics, though with somewhat more pop-oriented production and melodies, than those heard on his albums.
It wouldn't be until 1970 that his self-titled debut appeared. Bill Fay is an odd record, in large part because his songwriting had the obvious ambition of song-poets like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but it was more cosmic in scope. There was a bit of the lilting British storytelling style to his songwriting, in the path of Al Stewart, Donovan, and Nick Drake, as well. Orchestral arrangements figure strongly on that first self-titled recording.
His second LP, Time of the Last Persecution (from 1971), was more straightforward and rock-oriented in its production. Major British session players, including guitarist Ray Russell and drummer Alan Rushton, contributed to the sessions. While his debut received generally favorable critical notice, it was Time of the Last Persecution that got the lion's share. Due to its rather dire and apocalyptic subject matter, there was some outlandish speculation by music journalists about the state of Fay's mental health (it was nonsense).
Due to poor sales of both records, Decca released Fay from his contract and eventually deleted both recordings. They subsequently became cult classics and were reissued on CD in 1998. They were greeted with nearly universal acclaim. This cultivated a renewed interest in Fay from artists like Jeff Tweedy to David Tibet; the latter released the songwriter's lost third album, Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow (credited to the Bill Fay Group) in 2004. Bill Fay and Time of the Last Persecution were remastered and reissued again in 2007 by Esoteric. In 2010, Tibet released a compilation of early demos, as well as newer home recordings entitled Still Some Light.
Producer Joshua Henry, who had grown up listening to Fay's early albums from his father's record collection, tracked down and finally persuaded the reclusive songwriter to record a new album. He hired Matt Deighton to assemble a band, and also recruited Russell and Rushton to appear on several tracks; the end result, Life Is People, appeared on Dead Oceans in August of 2012.
The near universal critical acclaim that greeted the album didn't faze its creator. Fay slipped quietly back into the shadows, but was hardly forgotten. The War on Drugs played his song "I Hear You Calling" at shows on their 2014 tour, and A.C. Newman's cover of "Be Not So Fearful" was used in an episode of The Walking Dead television series.
At home, Fay continued to write and demo songs. In 2014, he and producer Henry re-teamed with many of the same players from the Life Is People sessions -- including Russell and Rushton. They worked at North London's Konk Studios and finished an album in 13 days. A pre-release single, "War Machine," was issued by Dead Oceans in February of 2015, followed by the full-length Who Is the Sender? in April. ~ Richie Unterberger & Thom Jurek

Oral History — Carl Schnoor Part 1
Interview with Carl Schnoor for the Historic Preservation Committee of Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, May 6, 1995. Mr. Schnoor had two interviews, one by an unnamed interviewer, and the other by John Hokenson. Here's the first one. The unknown interviewer is indicated below as simply "I".
|This is an oral history being conducted by Mountain Lakes Historic Preservation Committee. This morning we are very happy to have Mr. Carl Schnoor, who was a former mayor and a former president of the school board who is here this morning for this interview. I would like to start by asking to tell me where you were born, and where and when you were born, and when you came to Mountain Lakes.
|Well, I was born in Queens County of New York City, and that was 1913 into-oh, boy, I don't believe the numbers. [chuckles] At any rate, I moved-I was married in 1938 and we moved to Mountain Lakes in 19-January, 1951, and we moved to Morris Avenue-337 Morris Avenue down near Rockaway Terrace. Within a year we looked into buying this lot on Lake Drive, and we did buy it and built the house there at 351 [unclear]. And we moved in Lake Drive 1952 and we left Mountain Lakes for Florida in 1977.
|Did you return to Mountain Lakes after 1977 or is that-
|Well, we came back on visits but never moved back. You know, we've maintained continuous residence in Florida-Sarasota, Florida.
|Okay. Are you married?
|My wife died March, 1994. [several words unclear]
|Did you have children?
|I have a son, Donald, who owns the Boonton Pharmacy and a daughter, Betty Jane Bryant, and she lives in Monroe, North Carolina. She has two children, a boy and a girl. One has graduated from Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina last year, and the daughter is a sophomore at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. My son, Donald's children, three girls-one's going to-I guess she's in the third or fourth year-fourth year at the American School of Design in New York. That's Allison. Elaine, the middle daughter, is finishing her sophomore year at the University of North Arizona. And the youngest one, Carly, was just accepted. She's finishing high school in three years. She was just accepted at the University of Delaware, among others, but she's selected the University of Delaware and she'll be in her freshman year next fall.
|So she's graduating this year and then-
|That's right, going up in June.
|Okay, now, is she going to Mountain Lakes High School or is she going-
|No, Boonton High School.
|Boonton High School, okay. That's right. She's on the transition.
|Ya. Well, that's right, ya. When Mountain Lakes agreed to accept students from Boonton Township, why, the girls had started already-
|-and weren't about to change. I would have liked to have seen them change.
|Can you tell me something about your parents? When you moved here in 1950-
|-'1. And then just tell me about your-you know, your parents and what they did here in Mountain Lakes.
|Well, they lived on Long Island.
|So we just had them out here.
|Oh, I see. They didn't actually-when you moved here you didn't move with your parents.
|Oh, no, no, no.
|Okay, I see.
|No. No, not until-we had been married, as I said before, in 1938 and we moved to-in 1949 we came out here and we made up our minds right then and there that this is where we were going to go. In fact, we bought a lot on Lake Drive-at the corner of Lake Drive and Lake Drive, and there was so much legal problems that we dropped out of that.
|I see.
|There was a deed restriction. There was a town-it was a bona fide town lot but it was a deed restriction that only three houses could be bought on this-could be built on this-oh, I don't know, it's probably about a two-acre area.
|I see.
|And ours would have been the fourth. That would have meant a court battle where some of the neighbors objected right from the start. We weren't going to start fighting with neighbors right off the bat, so we backed out of that and we built our house on Morris Avenue near Rockaway Terrace-37 Morris Avenue. It's a Cape Cod house over there. And then when this lot came up it was-
|You couldn't pass that up.
|Ya, we went for it right away.
|What attracted you to Mountain Lakes?
|Well, I had a friend here, Bill Kirkland, who lived down in Low Plain and he and I worked together with Bell Labs, and he invited us out for a day. And we came out here and saw it and loved it right off the bat. When we got home we put our house on the market, as fast as that. [chuckles] And then we-let's see, what did we run in-we ran into a problem. The Korean War started somewhere in there. And that-I don't know, that delayed-building took quite awhile. It took almost a year to build that house on Morris Avenue, problem getting materials. Prices were skyrocketing so-not like they are now. [chuckles] Pretty cheap when you look back.
|Better than now, right.
|Ya. It was a nice house; we liked it over there but when we had the opportunity to get on the lake, why, we jumped at that.
|So you were attracted by-just by the characteristics of the town.
|Just the all-appearance of the town, the-you know, the trees, the houses, the school system, everything about it.
|There was what I guess was the Hapgood concept, which is you offer a change from the city, something that's they call-
|This is a Hapgood house.
|That's right.
|All the big ones. And when we moved here I guess they were very attractive to large families-Mahoneys, among others-they had eight kids. He never complained about taxes. He was ahead of the game.
|[chuckles] Right.
|But I understand that's gradually gone down. Families aren't as large.
|Well, it's interesting. We've got-that's been the case but now the lower grades in Wildwood School are crowded with-in fact, they're taking a look at maybe having to expand Wildwood School as a possibility.
|Because they're-they've gone from two or three kids in a family as being a large family-now, four or five being more normal. So we're going back to-
|It's changing [unclear].
|So you-the last house you were in then was-in Mountain Lakes here was the one on-
|On 60 Drive-61 Lake Drive.
|Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And so did you do a lot of activities using the lake then, I guess, or-
|Oh, sure-all year round. We had a raft out there, go ice-skating. Nothing like coming out of your basement and walking right out onto the ice to go skating-just beautiful.
|I guess you can answer one of the questions that's been debated a lot, and that is whether the winters were colder then than they are now. There seems to be some feeling that we've got milder winters and the lake isn't frozen over as much as-was it pretty much frozen over for several months then as a regular basis or-
|Well, what would happen, you'd get some pretty good ice skating on about Christmas, that area, and so much depended upon snowfall. I can remember going out on the ice, clearing the snow off the ice so the kids could play hockey. And, after the third time, I gave up and the snow would take over and get a crust and they couldn't skate. But I didn't-I think the winters are not very different. You'd have cycles where you wouldn't have ice skating for a couple years.
|And then you'd have beautiful ice and another time you'd have too much snow and you-
|Well, that's right. If you get a lot of snow then it just sort of ruins the ice.
|It builds up and you can't cope with it. [chuckles] In fact, that house I had on Lake Drive is down in a hole and I got to the point one year, I couldn't even get the snow off-out of the driveway. I had-there was-I had piles six, seven feet high.
|So did you park your car up in the street there?
|Well, I would do that going to work. I'd-I would put the car right up at the [unclear] of the driveway so I could get out in the morning. And of course the plows would come through and push snow right up against [unclear]. So I had a little pushing to do but-[unclear] had that problem. I had a funny comment from somebody when I was the mayor-you know, Lake Drive is a road that ties into the railroad station and the schools and the rest of the town. And somebody said Lake Drive was always cleared out first because the mayor lives on Lake Drive. Well, what a silly thing. [chuckles] There was never any such thing as that. There was no favoritism.
|Right. Well, now, you're here today for a luncheon for former mayors, So maybe you could tell us about that aspect of your life here in Mountain Lakes when you were-would you rather start with the mayors that were-when you were mayor or school board president? Which do you think is-
|Well, I-first would be the school board. I was on the school board for three years and the second year I was vice president. In the third year I was the president. And in the second year we tried to put something together so that we could have an addition. We recognized the problem that the baby boomers were coming in and that-into the high school. But we really took a beating, like two to one on that addition.
|This was a proposed addition to the high school?
|To the [unclear] school.
|The Briarcliff-
|Ya, [unclear] extended out into where the ball field is.
|Right. And this is-at the time Briarcliff was a high school.
|That's right.
|That's right. That was built in 1936 with WPA funds at the time. And when I look back at it we lost two to one for several reasons. I don't think we communicated the way we should have. We thought, 'Well, we'll do the job. That's what we elected [unclear].' We didn't get enough out to the public; that was one strike against us. Then it was-didn't want to spend all the money no matter what. We had another group that wanted us to get into a regional system. Well, with all that conflict-in fact, there wasn't unanimous vote on the board either, though [several words unclear] one or two objected to it. Then the papers would clobber us all the time about the whole thing and not communicating. And the atmosphere just wasn't right to put anything across. We're talking about a million, one at the time, which maybe is nothing now but at the time it was a big nut to crack, and people objected to the-people are always against higher taxes. I think I remember, we-[unclear] go back to this later. We got into the next year, we decided to start all over again. We set up-I think I set up 10 different committees that I remember [several words unclear] the curriculum or financing, whatever, the building itself, and a variety of committees. And I set it up so that there would be people who were in opposition to the Briarcliff Commission on the same committees. I think that helped us because the committees file their reports and everybody had to be in on it. There were more than 50 people involved in those committees. And the other thing, I think we came up with a price of a million, six, as I remember, [unclear] one million, one or two for the other one. And I guess they-many people feared if you delay it another year it'll go even higher. That went through two to one, just the reverse. It's a good thing we did lose the first time-got it the second.
|Was that an addition to Briarcliff School or-
|No, no, no.
|This was-
|The one we were defeated on was-
|-the proposed addition to-
|Ya. And what was the-
|A million, six was-
|For the [unclear] High School.
|Okay, so in other words, you went from an addition to the new high school, the building.
|Separate building.
|All right. Okay.
|Appealed to a lot of people. At least [unclear] had opposition, you know. I know some people wouldn't spend a nickel more, if they could help it. [chuckles]
|So you were-when you were on the school board and when you were the president, that was at the time the high school building was built then?
|No, that was when it was approved.
|The referendum was-
|-approved. And then I was off the board when the building went along.
|Okay. But it took place-
|Everything was set in motion.
|Set in motion. Okay.
|You don't see that in [several words unclear].
|Mm-hmm, okay. So, now, at the time was it a [unclear]-it wasn't everything that's there now, I don't think, was there? I mean, I think the auditorium-was that later, or was it-did you also include the auditorium at the time?
|I think the auditorium was there. There was some-something was added on, I know. I don't know what it was.
|So we moved to town when we moved to one [unclear] after that. [unclear] build the Wildwood School and that-there was a lot of opposition to [unclear]. They finally put that [unclear].
|Now, that was-and that-but that was later. Wildwood School was later?
|No. No, that [unclear]-that had to be about '52 or '53.
|All right.
|I think '53.
|Uh-huh. So was Wildwood School built in the same-now, that was built a few years before the high school, right?
|Ya, that was-I'm pretty sure it was '53 and the new high school-I'm losing my voice.
|Do you need some water or something or-
|It was approved in '59 but I-let's see, my son was in the first graduating class. That was 1959 so it opened, I guess, in '58. And it had been approved in '56. I remember the kids were moved from Briarcliff School to the new high school on Marlboro Road and they were very unhappy about it. [chuckles] They loved their Briarcliff School. But anyway, we had to make a cut over and they were the-son's class was the first graduating class.
|But that was a time when there was really a big increase in the number of students, I guess, [unclear].
|Well, my son's graduating class, if I remember correctly, had about 50, 60 kids graduating. My daughter was graduated in 1964 and there were about a hundred. And I don't remember [unclear] after that; I think it went up higher after that [unclear].
|Mm-hmm. Anything else you remember about the days on the school board that-did you have a lot of people coming to meetings for the most part or-
|Well, they were well attended. There must have been a lot of experts in town about school business. I can tell you're working on it as a mayor and as a councilor it's a lot easier. I can tell you in that year I was president I worked longer hours than I did on my job. I was either on the phone or a meeting every night, all day Saturday, all day Sunday. [chuckles] After that one year I was ready to resign and I did. I could keep that up just so long.
|Right. Now, you set up the committees at the time you were on-president, you started the committees?
|I started these committees in connection with the proposals for the high school. They were for that. Well, I think that might be in my notes there. We had a variety of [unclear]. And, as I said before, there were a good mixture of people for and against-
|So it was a good idea.
|-the expansion. Right. And I think that really got around the real problem we had and we lost on the first referendum. [several words unclear] because people got-found out what the story was and what the problems were. And it showed up in the fact that it changed from a beating of two to one to a winning-
|-two to one. No outsiders got into it-still had an [several words unclear].
|Didn't want any taxing things.
|Oh, ya, all the time. I can remember Joe McCabe was president of the school board and he tried to get the Briarcliff position [unclear]. And he'd have to get [unclear] in the auditorium and talk about the plan and [unclear]. And I can remember one friend of mine who would sit back right in the first row right underneath and she'd knit. And Joe said to me later on, "[unclear]." [laughter]
|Well, why don't you tell us about your years as mayor now, [unclear]?
|Well, I started out as a councilor for a couple of years and the main contribution I made, as far as I remember as a councilor, is I put together rules and regulations for everything we did as far as the government was concerned. Like, I had write-ups on the Board of Health. A lot of us expected what we had to do, the planning board, things like that. I don't remember all. And I remember setting up all those rules so that we could look back on. That's one of the things I want to ask [unclear] this afternoon whether they still have those rules [unclear]. The thing is I did it mainly to have a guide for future councilors, [unclear] kind of, you know, rulings-things that we had ruled upon, so they had some background before they made decisions. That was-[unclear] then I got into-I won the Athletic Committee and we had a-I'm trying to think of the baseball field.
|The baseball-
|Ya, we wanted to have a better baseball field for the high school team. And we had family playing down at Nafie Field. I think that's-[unclear] Nafie Field down below the railroad, that [unclear].
|That was-okay, that was before-
|Well, I became mayor.
|But that was before they built some houses down there? Is that right?
|No, no. I guess I'm mixing that up. That happened a long time ago. The school board-now, let me back up-
|-on that. When I was on the school board the first year I had the Athletic Committee. That's where it was. And we felt we needed a better field for the high school. And the Nafie Field that I remember, there was a big boulder out in the center field, kind of dangerous for kids to be playing baseball there. So we went to the council meeting [chuckles] and one of the council members said, "What do you fellows want anyway, a polo grounds?" They weren't in the least bit sympathetic. So what we did was that Bill Faringer was on the council at the time and he was kind of building [unclear]. And the two of us went out and set up the baseball field along side of Briarcliff School. It wasn't ideal. They had played down in the-where the football field but there was a short right field. [several words unclear]. So anyway, that's where they had their games. Now, of course, they have a much better field at the-
|-new high school.
|Now, you helped create that baseball field at Briarcliff then?
|Right along side it, ya.
|[several words unclear] as you got out there you take-as you-[several words unclear]. I didn't think I'd be doing that kind of work but glad to do it, you know.
|Now, was there a lot-were there a lot of trees here? I mean, did you have to cut down trees or-
|No, there was not. It was hilly [unclear]. I'm hazy on the detail about it. I'm sure there was some but-
|Ya, ya.
|To get back to the council, I mentioned I put together like rules and regulations and that sort of thing. That was the main thrust at the time. When I was on the council, Wally Taylor was the mayor the first year. The second year, Doug Ellems was the mayor. And about that time the county government wanted to take over our property up at the [unclear]. They wanted to put in a reservoir. And we resisted it. We [several words unclear] of the commissioners-county commissioners came to our meeting and Doug Ellems virtually threw them out of the meeting. [unclear] "We don't want to listen to you and we don't want any part of it. We're not selling," and all that sort of thing.
|Actually, our attorney suggested that we sell rather than get into a court case and all that sort of thing. We wouldn't have any part of it, anything to do with it. And in fact we even went to the extent of rezoning the end of Birchwood Lake into residential property-
|I see.
|-to get the price up. At one point we thought we were going to lose. And we thought, 'We'll get the price up as high as we possibly can,' so that property was rezoned-
|Mm-hmm, I see.
|-to residential. Well, when the threat disappeared and they backed off, we-somebody noticed that a later council changed it back to parkland.
|I see.
|People wonder what we were doing back then. That was the reason for it. I mean, it's some legal assistance on the side who suggested that, you know, was a good idea-anything to thwart the county commissioners.
|Right. Well, that was a pretty important step then in resisting, you know, takeovers, because that's been one of the strengths of Mountain Lakes is that we have so much property that's-
|I should say, that was a big move. The biggest move, of course, took place when Dick Wilcox was mayor and they took over that land-very important. Something like $70,000 [unclear]. But then we had to fight. In fact, it continued into my term after John Allens was out as mayor. We could see the threat subsiding [unclear]. [sentence unclear].
|What did you say when Mr. Wilcox was mayor? When you bought-that land was bought then. When was that when he was mayor? Was that just a few years before that or was that for sometime before that?
|No, he was way back. He was mayor in the early '50s.
|Right. And you were on the-started your first year on the council was what year?
|'65 I think it was.
|All right.
|John Allens preceded me with a two-year term. Wally Taylor, I think, was mayor for I think two years. And before Wally Taylor was [unclear] and there was another one in there; I can't remember his name. And then Wilcox; Wilcox was in the '50s.
|I see.
|I made the right move on the [unclear]; that's for sure. And then-well, there's a YMCA property. I [unclear] be on the board of reviews but, you know-YMCA, that turned out to be a bit of a problem. Dick Wilcox was by that time working with the YMCA [unclear]. And he was dead set on erecting a YMCA [unclear] down on Route 46. The council didn't want any part of that because it was going to be right in the middle of an area which we thought could be commercial.
|Mm-hmm, right.
|[unclear] reduce the taxes somewhat. Well, we did; we offered them the land [unclear] they are now at the assessed value.
|Oh, really?
|Ya, I've forgotten the number of acres, and a side note to that, Powerville Road comes down that way. And there's a lot of turns and we were trying to get Boonton to straighten out their roads. Well, what we did, we got a deed restriction we orchestrated. We just didn't sell the property to the Y where the curve goes. You'd cut off-you know, the curve is like-comes out like so. We cut it off so that Boonton could go right through and wouldn't have any complications with the Y. Well, that area right in front of the YMCA on the road side is [several words unclear] Mountain Lakes property.
|I see.

NOTE: This is not a currently working PS3. It suffers from YLOD (Yellow Light of Death). It turns on, but immediately beeps and briefly flashes a yellow light, then has a constantly flashing red light.
Selling as is, where is.
Would be good for parts, or anyone who is willing to attempt to re-flow the motherboard.
Blu-ray drive also doesn't work. I suspect it is the Blu-ray drive logic board, as I temporarily replaced the laser assembly with a new assembly which didn't fix the Blu-ray drive. The laser assembly currently in the Blu-ray drive is the original assembly.
This PS3 was a replacement/refurbished unit for my original PS3 which failed with a YLOD back in July 2009. Sony gave me this refurbished unit in August 2009.
Model: CECHG02
The plastic grilles on the air exhaust at the back have been cut out to improve airflow. (see photo)
There are a few minor/medium scratches on the body/case.
It comes with the original 40GB hard drive. The hard drive has been taken out and securely wiped using dban, then re-installed into the PS3.
Warranty sticker has obviously been VOIDed/taken off the screw plate when testing new laser assembly.
Comes with power cable and original A/V Multi Out cable (RCA composite video + Left and Right audio)
Does NOT come with controller.
Price: $40
Pick-up Dunedin (or could arrange shipping with buyer to rest of NZ)
Feel free to ask any questions.
Leave a reply or PM me if interested.

Solar power may go on the wide-scale in the western state of Gujarat as the Clinton Foundation is currently considering an "Integrated Solar City" in the Kutch or Banaskantha region. If followed through, the investment would create the world's largest solar project and will involve a number of players in the private sector.
The project, tagged as one of the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) into the state, will also be a landmark project as the cost of power generation is likely to be 70 per cent less — around Rs 20,000 crore — than the conventional cost of generation, say sources close to the development.
The project envisages an integrated solar city wherein all the raw materials including glass and panels will be produced by them, bringing down the cost substantially, said a senior government official.

As fraudsters grow in sophistication and experience, they often aren't acting alone. Syndicated crime rings are big business around the world. In the fraud economy, different fraudsters specialize in different aspects of the attack, from gathering data and creating profiles of targeted victims, to socially engineering call center agents, to creating tools like robotic dialers. These fraudsters might work alone, selling their skills on the black market. In other cases, fraudsters are running entire call centers overseas dedicated to executing attacks.

AS3651 Sprint Review tells you about IP addresses owned by this Internet Service Provider. So, you will learn about AS3651 ISP quality. Then, you can assess Sprint's safety performance.
AS3651 Sprint Review Audience
Before you start, I wrote my review for people looking for an American ISP. So, for Internet Service Providers based in other countries, please read ISP-ASN Safety Reviews
AS3651 Sprint Review
Firstly, I log IP addresses when AS3651 access my network. Secondly, I review that access data. Thirdly, I give Stars for security threat levels. Also, I consider other safety factors. Therefore, you will see different safety and security issues in the detailed records. To clarify, I record all that ISP traffic data below. To begin with, these are static facts about AS3651 Sprint.
Static AS3651 Sprint Information
Generally, I identify unique ISP-ASN information (courtesy ipinfo.io AS3651):

2015 Adepticon on it's way........
So I plan on attending the con as I have the last few years. This year I plan on spending most of my cash on emperor's children preheresy. Just enough to get a legal army. Next year I will expand on the army will the cool stuff. I do have a kabuki Fulgrim, palatine blades, and kachophni squad painted. So this year it is troops and the rule book. That will pretty much tap me out. But the bases and bits will make me over spend. Hope to see the judge and new new people.
Sorry I have not been posting had a great loss in my life and have had to heal. I still not recovered and don't think I ever will but I have been surviving.
Hope to post more soon.

Semi Truck Falls Over On A Bridge In Terrible Crash!
This is wild! We see a semi truck driving over a bridge along with traffic. Nothing unusual there right? Well, all of a sudden the semi trucks trailer begins to fall over which is the scariest thing ever! The trailer falling over just barely misses the driver of the car with the dash cam. As the semi trucks trailer crashes in front of the car, the car slams on his brakes. It's obvious that cars behind the car crash into it due to the sudden braking.
This is an absolute disaster. You see debris, dust and even the trucks wheels roll by after the crash. There isn't really much information on what exactly happened. Some say the wind was the cause of the truck falling over but it isn't really clear in the video. As for the semi truck driver, he wasn't injured at all! The dash cam driver was also not injured. This crash looks REALLY bad but fortunately everyone was ok! What do you think about this insane and terrible semi truck crash? Do you have any thoughts or opinions? Let us know in the comments what you think may have happened. For more videos, stay tuned on PowerNationTV.com.

Over the past few weeks we have begun work on incorporating support for Decaptcher and we have begun to internally test sites using it. These do not yet show up on the supported sites list as they cannot be used by members. In our testing we have come across various issues and have decided to change the way we implement captcha sites into IMAutomator as a result.
The original plan was to funnel requests for solving a captcha directly to the Decaptcher service using the login credentials supplied by the member. In this way we do not handle any funds directly and at first it seemed like the simplest solution. Whilst simple, it is not optimal:
1) It immediately forces all members who wish to take advantage of captcha sites to create an account with Decaptcher. This is not ideal as the whole premise behind IMAutomator is to shield the member from this very need. Also, there is a $10 minimum deposit. This would exclude many members from the outset.
2) It forces us to store your login data and we'd prefer not to store sensitive data unnecessarily.
3) Due to the nature of the submission process, one submission could make several calls to the Decaptcher service and cost the member varying amounts of money. This is the biggest hurdle we have faced and feel it is unnacceptable. Submissions do not work 100% of the time – web sites are slow, they time out, have bad days, have random errors etc. We have a retry mechanism in place which will retry a failed submission several times over a 24 hour period before marking it as failed. If a captcha is involved in that process, depending on what point at which the submission failed, several captcha solves may be required. This is of no concern to the member and you should not be charged for these additional calls.
4) Similarly to the above issue, sometimes the Decaptcher service gets it wrong and this causes the submission to fail. Again, here we can retry it later but the member should not absorb the cost for this.
5) Another cost issue – sometimes our own system is not performing 100%, sometimes the login fails or we have issues with our engine. Obviously we are always taking steps to minimize such issues but there should never be a case where the member is directly charged for something that has not worked. You should only be charged for a successful submission.
6) Not a single captcha submission can be done without the member supplying a Decaptcher account. We'd like to at least give some freebies to our Pro members!
Therefore we have decided to go in a new direction and do all of the captcha submissions with our own Decaptcher account, doing the retries as normal but the member will be able to purchase packages of 'credits' to use against these submissions. Pro members will receive a free package each month as part of their existing subscription but may purchase additional credits.
Each credit allows a single link to be submitted to a single captcha site – the PR of the site does not matter. When submitting new links, you will be able to choose precisely what sites you would like to choose, if any and you will know exactly how many credits the submission will use at most. Failed submissions will be refunded – you would only charged for a successful submission and only a single credit regardless of how many attempts was made for it to succeed. For example, if we add 20 new captcha based bookmarking sites and you submit a particular link to half of them, that would cost you 10 credits assuming they all succeed.
We haven't set the prices in stone yet and at this stage we are not even sure how we are going to incorporate payment into the system as these will be one-off purchases and not a monthly fee. This is a rough ballpark so far:
$5 for 500 submission package ($1 for 100 subs)
$10 for 1,200 submission package ($1 for 120 subs)
$25 for 3,000 submission package ($1 for 140 subs)
$50 for 8,000 submission package ($1 for 160 subs)
$100 for 20,000 submission package ($1 for 200 subs)
We would give Pro members the $10 package of 1200 submissions free every month. This would not carry over from month to month (purchased credits DO carry over) and would be in addition to any credits purchased separately. So what would that get you? It depends on how many sites you select for each link. For example, if you have a really important piece of content you might want to push that out to as many sites as possible. If we had 20 sites and you selected all of them, that $10 package would buy you 60 URL's. To be clear that's 60 URL's x 20 sites = 1,200 total backlinks.
This system will still be entirely optional. For those who choose not to use it, IMAutomator will remain exactly as it is now. We are continuing to add as many totally free sites as we can on an on-going basis. For those who have purchased a credit package or for Pro members who will have one free, the submission form on each tool will have an additional section to allow you to select captcha sites to include.
We'll have more details available in due course!

I believe that the two greatest prayers you could pray would be for another person's salvation, and for the hearts of others to be filled with the love of God in Jesus Christ–both of these are the will of God.
I wish you grace, salvation, assurance of salvation, assurance of eternal security, growth in grace and knowledge, discernment in your spirit from God's Spirit, God's presence and comfort, His guidance, His peace, love, joy, wisdom, revelation, spiritual fellowship with God, spiritual fellowship with other believers, strength, health, healing, stability, security, provision, protection, honesty, purity, sincerity, success, bravery, righteous anger, blessing–and maturity, and heavenly rewards, in Christ. I wish you His love.
I send these emails to you because I love you and I care about your current and afterlife well-being. Here are some of my favorite Bible verses that clearly teach salvation by God's grace through faith in Jesus, eternal security, and sanctification by grace through faith in Jesus.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he [or she] who believes in Me HAS everlasting life." -Jesus, in the Bible book of John, chapter 6, verse 47.
"He who believes in the Son HAS everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." -John 3:36
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son, that who whoever believes in Him should not perish but HAVE everlasting life." -Jesus, in John 3:16
"this [Jesus] is He who BAPTIZES WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT." -John 1:33
"Moreover, brethren, I declare to you THE GOSPEL which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved…For I delivered to you FIRST OF ALL that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.."
-Paul the apostle in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.
"In Him… HAVING BELIEVED, you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the GUARANTEE of our inheritance…"
-Ephesians 1:13, 14.
"For THE LAW was given through Moses, but GRACE AND TRUTH came through Jesus Christ…" -John 1:17
"Everyone who…believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I [Jesus] will raise [resurrect] him [or her] up at the last day." John 6:40
"He who testifies to these things [Jesus] says, "Surely I am coming quickly."
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Revelation 22:20,21 (the last two sentences in the Bible)
All these verses are quoted from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible. The NKJV is the Bible translation I have found most accurate to the original Greek. It is a near-perfect English representation of the original.
.."what must I do to be saved?"
.."believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. -Acts 16:31
"…whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Acts 2:21
If you are not saved, or are not sure if you are saved from God's Hell-punishment of you for your sins, just call out to Jesus right now with a sincere heart, "Jesus save me!" and you will be saved immediately and permanently. You can call out to Him and be saved by His grace through faith in Jesus. You will be immediately saved, you will be immediately forgiven of all sins: past, present, and future, you will immediately be declared righteous, you will immediately be indwelled by God's Spirit–forever, and you will be guaranteed to go to Heaven the very moment you die.
"Therefore, HAVING BEEN justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." -Romans 5:1
"Through Him we have received grace… for obedience to the faith…" -Romans 1:5
"There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus.." -Romans 8:1
"For sin shall NOT have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
-Romans 6:14
You are a new creation in Christ.
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
"…forgive…" -Matthew 18:35
"Let brotherly love continue…."
-Hebrews 13:1
"Love others as yourself."
"Fight the good fight!"
"…God is love…" -1st John 4:8
"He who does not love does not -know-* God, for GOD IS LOVE." -1st John 4:8
*This verse refers to -knowing- God in -spiritual fellowship-. This is -not- a salvation verse.
–Curtis Smale

Different spectrophotometricmethodsmanipulating ratio spectra for simultaneous determination of salbutamol and bromhexine in binary mixtureAuthor(s): KhalidAbdel-SalamM.Attia,MohammedW.I.Nassar,AymanOsman
Four simple, specific, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods manipulating ratio spectra were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of Salbutamol (SL) and Bromhexine (BH) namely; dual wavelength, ratio difference, ratio derivative, mean centering. The proposed spectrophotometric procedures do not require any preliminary separation step. The accuracy, precision and linearity ranges of the proposed methods were determined. The four methods were applied for the determination of the cited drugs in tablets and the obtained results were statistically compared with a reported spectrophotometric method. The comparison showed that there is no significant difference between the proposed methods and the reported method regarding both accuracy and precision.

Maybe you've been running marathons for awhile. Maybe you're just starting out or are thinking about starting. No matter which category you fall into, there is one important thing that may sometimes get overlooked when training yourself for these kind of events...your feet! Without keeping them in great condition, you can't run marathons. Here are a few tips for keeping your feet in marathon-ready shape!
-Start out slow! Stretch your feet and stay hydrated to avoid muscle cramping.
-Wear proper running shoes! This is one of the most important things you can do for your feet. At the end of the day your feet will thank you.
-Pay attention to the kind of surface you are running on. Different types of surfaces can impact your running and even cause injury to your feet. For example, asphalt can injure the joints of your ankle, while running on soft sand increases your risk for injuries to your Achilles tendon. The best surfaces are those that are smooth and absorb the most shock.
-Increase your training regimen by 10% per week. This is the best way to let your body and feet gradually work up to the level of running you are trying to achieve.
-If you feel like you've injured your foot in any way, stop running for the day and contact your podiatrist. Treating injuries early is the fastest way to get you back to your marathon training.

Through the generosity of a member of the club, a Shark has come my way.
Searching on site, I don't see many threads praising the machine; and no comments more recent than 2016.
Are they not valued anymore; were they ever?
This will be my first recumbent and this Shark is an affordable introduction.
Currently I am thinking on how best I will transfer on and off (in and out?).

In Sports News: the Czech Republic will face Italy, Ghana and the United States in the group stage at next year's football world cup - we get the reaction of Czech manager Karel Bruckner; Karel Poborsky is definitely not returning to Sparta Prague; and ski jumper Jakub Janda becomes the first Czech in over two decades to win a World Cup event in front of a domestic audience.
The eyes of the world were on Germany's Leipzig on Friday night, as the draw was made for the group stage of next year's football World Cup. Czech manager Karel Bruckner was at the glitzy ceremony, watching as his team drew Italy, Ghana and the United States in Group E.
While most commentators describe it is a relatively tough group, the Czech manager says he will have to learn more about their opponents before assessing the task ahead.
"I don't know these teams, I've never watched the USA play, or Ghana either for that matter. So we're going to have to do our homework on those two, but whether they'll be easy or difficult, or quite difficult, I just don't know. That said, I'm not happy that our first game will be against America, but that's the way it is."
The second game will be against Ghana, with Italy last. The Czechs will have to go all out to come first in Group E - whoever qualifies second is likely to face favourites Brazil in the knock-out stage.
And between now and the World Cup Czech international Karel Poborsky will be staying at Czech second division side Ceske Budejovice; he was suspended by Sparta Prague after criticising the club's manager, and both sides have now agreed to make the move permanent. Poborsky said he had spoken to national manager Karel Bruckner before making his decision.
"Of course my position in the national team played a big role, but I spoke to the coach and his reaction was positive, luckily. He said the alternative of me staying at Ceske Budejovice was acceptable to him. So life goes on."
Many of Monday's papers carry photos of ski jumper Jakub Janda being kissed by his grandmother, after winning a World Cup event in the north Bohemian resort of Harrachov on Sunday. It was the first such Czech ski-jumping triumph on home soil for 21 long years. Afterwards Janda, who leads the World Cup points table, said it was the hardest competition of his career.
"I'm wearing the yellow jersey at the moment and everybody was
expecting so much from me. I wasn't sure how well I had jumped but when I
reached the bottom I saw that my jump was 141 m, and I said to myself,
maybe that will be enough. I always have to wait to see the official
distance before I will believe a jump has been good."

About This Location
The Ten Mile Point Weather Station is located on the coastline of Ten Mile Point (NE of Cadboro Bay in Victoria, BC), positioned at the eastern entrance of Baynes Channel and Haro Strait. It is sited to accurately measure the conditions on this busy waterway between Victoria and the US San Juan Islands. Winds (and currents) accelerate as the channel narrows between the Point and Chatham Island, often creating unique local conditions that can make a challenging passage for both sail and power boaters.
The water off the Point is a protected Marine Reserve, and is popular with scuba divers and kayakers. Sea life abounds; with many species of waterfowl, otters, seals, and orcas enjoying the rich upwelling waters.
About This Station
The weather station is a professional Vantage Pro2 station designed by Davis Instruments that measures wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, and rainfall. Data are transmitted via a wireless connection to a local server every 10 seconds, and then uploaded to the website. The wind anemometer is located on the coastline 45 feet above sea level, and has highly accurate direct measurement of sea breezes from the north, east and south.
Special thanks to John Vincent for station maintenance and support.

text: SteveBrown 0 Posted August 25, 2004 I've found there's no single "magic bullet" that prevents acne. What works for me is a combination of dietary and hygenic tactics. My diet includes portions of carbohydrates adequate to satisfy my caloric needs, but they are complex carbohydrates, i.e. whole grains, vegetables, and low-sugar fruits such as apples. I never drink more than 1 ounce of fruit juice at one time, because more than that simply contains too much sugar which is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach. The carbohydrates are balanced by portions of protein from meats such as salmon and turkey, and from eggs, nuts, and small portions of cheese such as low-fat mozzarella. Fats are an important component of a healthy diet, as they diminish the appetite for carbohydrates. I use plenty of olive oil in my cooking, and the nuts I snack on contain monounsaturated fats, which are good for you. In previous posts, I wrote about the natural anti-bactierial activity of crushed, raw garlic included in the diet. I also wrote about using an antiseptic applied topically to the face. What works best for me is a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite (bleach), 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dissolved in a liter of water, with a drop of liquid soap or mild detergent added to improve wetting of the skin. Care must be taken not to get any of the solution into the eyes. If that occurs, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Apply the solution after washing, and let it air dry. Good hygene is also important. After washing, do not use a towel to dry the face; let it air dry. Always use clean bed sheets and pillow cases. Brush the teeth regularly, and use mouthwash. I have found the combination of all of the above tactics to be the strategy that prevents acne for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alps 1.3 Converted From Ls13 V1.0
Hi Guys,
Huete I have here for you my converted from the LS13 Alpental from version 1.3
Because I missed the Alpebtal from the LS13 so, I got them in 2 weeks work in the current Farming Simulator. I left everything the same. Every stone is in the old place, and every fals where it was. Besides the biogas plant, and the pig's mesh, it's a 1: 1 conversion. There are about 100 hours of work in the map and the conversion!
Unfortunately, the Map has 2 .lua errors but are not relevant to the game!

|2009 Game
The tournament is over and I would have to say the Championship game was a bit anticlimatic. Tar Heels pretty much took it to the Spartans and the undermanned Spartans did not have a real go to player to rely on. Congratulations to Tyler Hansborough for all he accomplished at UNC in his 4 years there.
As for our NCAA game, again it continues to amaze me that after 28 draft rounds and all the scoring that goes on in the tournament, our game has come down to the last game before final positions are determined for like the 10th time in the past 11 years. Although first place was pretty much locked up due to Rob Stenzel's great year this year, the difference between 2nd place and 3rd place was only 13 points. The difference between 2nd place and 6th place was 52 points and the difference between finishing in the money (3rd Place) and not, was only 3 points. Click on the Updates tab then the Final tab to see what happened.
This is a big reason why we have the +/- calculation payoff because sometimes you should have won the game or finished in the money had your players just scored what they did over the 30+ games they played in the regular season. This year was no exception. Click on the Updates tab the the Final tab then the Plus Minus Leaders tab. Or just click on this link to jump to that page.
The updates tab contains the updated 2009 game information. There are multiple tabs under the updates area for who was ahead after each game. The final tab contains final payouts, leading scorer, round winner recaps etc.
