Blickensderfer Hired as Burton's Crew Chief
Richard Childress Racing has named Drew Blickensderfer as the crew chief for the No. 31 team with driver Jeff Burton for the 2012 Sprint Cup Series season.
Luke Lambert, interim crew chief during the latter part of the 2011 season for the No. 31 team, will assume a yet-to-be announced new position at RCR.
Blickensderfer begins his RCR career after nearly a decade with Roush Fenway Racing. He spent the 2011 Cup season leading the No. 6 team and has been a crew chief, in the Cup and Nationwide series, since 2007.
"I'm excited about the move to RCR and the opportunity to help lead Jeff Burton and the Cat/Wheaties Racing team back into Chase contention," Blickensderfer said. "I was around Jeff briefly at RFR and always admired and liked him. He's a very talented driver and I look forward to working with him and the rest of the No. 31 team in 2012."
Burton qualified for the Chase for the Sprint Cup from 2006-2008 and 2010. He finished 20th in the final 2011 driver championship point standings.
"Drew is a strong leader and will be a great complement to the Caterpillar/Wheaties Racing team," Childress said. "He's won some big races, including the 2009 Daytona 500, his first race as a Sprint Cup Series crew chief. There's every reason to believe the combination of Jeff and Drew will be a successful one."
Richard "Slugger" Labbe will remain as the crew chief for the No. 27 team in 2012. It was announced previously that crew chief Shane Wilson will move from the No. 33 to the same position with the No. 29 team and driver Kevin Harvick. Gil Martin, the No. 29 team crew chief since May 2009 and a crew chief at RCR since August 2000, has been named director of team operations.
Further personnel changes within RCR's competition department will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Kippah, or yarmulke in Yiddish, is the head-covering worn by Jewish men at all times. Jewish law requires that Jewish men cover their heads as a sign of honor and reverence of God. Although it is not an explicit law in the Torah, over the years it has become an accepted custom, which, according to most Halachic opinions, makes the Kippah mandatory.
Today there are many types of yarmulkes: knitted, velvet, terylene, satin, suede, and more. In fact, especially in Israel, many people like to associate themselves with a certain sect by choosing a certain Kippah. For instance, it is popular for Haredim to wear a black velvet Kippah, and for modern, Religious-Zionists to wear a knitted Kippah. Of course, there are exceptions, and some Haredim choose to wear a knitted Kippah or suede yarmulke, etc. For many people who are becoming religious, choosing the right yarmulke allows them to express themselves and take pride in their new-found religiosity.
Knitted Kippahs come in endless sizes, patterns and colors. For example, many people like the fact that these Kippot can be customized for people and children. By allowing the children to choose their own favorite Kippah, based on their favorite theme, some parents find that it nurtures a love for Judaism.
Black velvet Kippah can also be customized for children. For example, popular black velvet Kippah would have the name "Jerusalem" embroidered in colorful velvet thread against the black background. Another variation of this Kippah may have the child's name embroidered above a drawing of a Jerusalem wall, in matching colors to the boy's name.
Another type of Kippah that is lately gaining popularity is the Frik Kippah. These Kippot have roots in the Breslev Hasidic movement but are now popular worn by many. Many Breslever Hasidim wear a Frik Kippah with a sort of pompom on top.
Many guys, upon their wedding day, buy a yarmulke that will be worn for the first time on their special day. Such Kippot may be imprinted with the wedding date, the Hebrew name of the groom, a romantic quote from Song of Songs, and more. Similarly, many opt for a Shabbos Kippah. Such people may choose the same Kippah during the week, but on Shabbat wear a Kippah purchased specifically for this day. The Shabbos Kippah may have quotes that mention the importance of Shabbat, such as "Remember the Shabbat", or "Sanctify the Shabbos" and more. Some choose to match their Kippah to their Tallit prayer shawl and even to their Tallit Bags. World of Judaica offers matching Kippah and Tallit sets.
We at World of Judaica invite you to check out our selection of Kippot. To learn more about Judaism and Jewish beliefs, visit our education pages. If you have any other questions, Contact Us and we will be more than happy to answer your concerns.
Kippot Guide
In the Talmud, there is a story that a certain rabbi always walked around with his head covered in order to remind him of G-d's constant presence. As a result of this, a tradition arose that Jewish men would walk around with their heads covered with a hat or piece of cloth called a Kippa, also known in Yiddish as a "Yarmulke". Today the wearing of Yarmulke is a rule amongst many groups of Jews, especially the Orthodox.
What is a Kippah?
A Kippah is a hemispherical head covering usually made from cloth that Jewish men wear minimally in the Synagogue and when performing religious rituals and very often are worn all the time.
What Materials are used in Kippot?
Kippot are usually made from cloth, but there are several types of Kippot, including Bukharian, velvet, knitted, Frik, Terylene, leather, and satin Kippot.
Kippot can be decorated like other Judaica items. However, the type of decoration often varies by the material used in the Kippah. Some of the most common decorations include traditional Stars of David, depictions of Jerusalem and floral patterns. However, some Kippot feature cartoon characters, sports team mascots and other modern inventions. It should be noted that such designs are great ideas if you would like to personalize a Kippah for a child. In addition, Kippot can come in numerous colors and are not limited to the black worn by Haredi Jews and may be red, blue, green, black amongst many.
Kippot can be personalized in numerous ways, from simple embroidering of names to having cartoon characters painted or embossed into them. Adult Kippot are seldom decorated and usually are simpler than Children's Kippot although they sometimes sport decorations as well. Velvet and Terylene Kippot are the easiest to personalize and feature painted or embroidered designs like depictions of Jerusalem, children's blocks, trains and cars.
Knitted and Frik Kippot are crocheted Kippot. These Kipot must be planned before being decorated as the decorations are part of the Kippah itself. These Kippot typically sport multicolored designs and can be nearly any color imaginable, but they may also sport objects such as college mascots, hobbies or even IDF tanks and airplanes.
Suede and leather Kippot usually have the same designs as the other Kippot, although they may also be more subtle in their decoration with simple embossing. Leather and Suede Kippot come numerous colors and typically are decorated with names, Hebrew letters and modern designs.

DOVER — You know you're doing well if a hat trick is blas�.
Peter Lajeunesse scored three goals on Saturday for the Marshwood/Traip hockey team in a 6-0 Western Maine Class A season opening win over Westbrook. For Lajeunesse, a junior, it was a subpar performance, only compared to what he did in the Hawks' season opener a year earlier.
"Last year in the first game I had four," Lajeunesse said with a chuckle. "It was a little less. But I'm not too worried about it. We won 6-0 so that's all that matters."
Lajeunesse hopes it will be a big year for the Hawks' junior class, which will provide all the upper-class leadership on a team devoid of seniors.
"We lost a lot of guys," he said. "We're juniors, so that's as high as it gets. We have to step up."
Marshwood/Traip goaltender Tyler Gagnon made 17 saves for the shutout, including on a few breakaways in the first period.
"Feels nice," Gagnon said. "I just wanted to get through it. We lost a lot of defenders from last year and we had a lot of young guys stepping up. Trying to give them some support."
Seth Lawrence also scored twice for Marshwood, which was all over Westbrook from the start. The Hawks scored twice each period.
Marshwood/Traip coach Eric Royal al was happy with the win and his team's offensive output, but wasn't crazy about the odd-man rushes it allowed that kept Gagnon on his toes.
"We gave up way too many odd-man breaks early on," Royal said. "Tyler bailed us out early, which gave us a chance to get a couple of goals each period."
Lawrence scored the game's first goal at 10:49 of the first period, taking a mid-ice faceoff down the left wing then shooting to the glove side of the Westbrook goalie for the lead. Lajeunesse made it 2-0 at 13:11 and the Hawks took the 2-0 lead into the second period.
"Our team defense got better this week," Royal said. "What I saw in our jamboree last week was disappointing, so we worked on it a lot this week. I thought they progressed, but if you give up that many odd-man breaks you're still doing something wrong. But we're happy that we won."
The Hawks outshot the Blue Blazes 38-17.
Marshwood/Traip freshman Devon Mitchell scored his first career goal at 4:58 of the middle frame as the Hawks staked themselves to a 3-0 lead. Lajeunesse potted his second goal of the game less than a minute later and the rout was on. Marshwood/Traip led 4-0 after two.
"It's the first game of the season," Royal said. "As long as we get better from here, we're in good shape."
Westbrook did not get called for a penalty until 9:53 of the final frame. The Blue Blazes killed off the first penalty, but their frustration showed near the end of the game as one player was slapped with a 10-minute major. The Hawks added a pair of power-play goals in the final two minutes to account for the 6-0 score.
Marshwood/Traip hosts Bonny Eagle on Tuesday, the first of three games in five days for the Hawks.
Marshwood, 6-0
Westbrook (0-1) 0 0 0 — 0

These days, wireless routers are everywhere. Nearly every house, apartment, business, and sketchy van parked down by the river has one. A functional wireless router allows you to easily connect your computer to a broadband Internet service so you share data files and stream media between mobile/Wi-Fi devices.
Although you could opt for a wired router, we suggest a wireless model so you can avoid stringing Ethernet cable around your home unless you absolutely have to; besides, a wireless router is the best way to access the Internet using your smartphone or tablet. And if you ever discover you absolutely must have a wired connection, the router will have a built-in switch to handle it. While you're at it, check out the best 802.11ac routers on the market, along with our guide on how to secure your wireless network.
Do you need a router?
Routers are not absolutely necessary if you prefer to use a hard-wired connection and run an Ethernet cable directly to your computer, but given most mobile devices lack a dedicated Ethernet port, opting for a wireless network remains the only solution for picking up an Internet connection using a smartphone or tablet.
Routers also allow you to share media, stream music and video, and seamlessly connect every device in your home — whether you want to stream music to your speaker system or simply pick up an Internet connection on the other side of the room. A single desktop may not need a wireless router, but for a house full of devices, it's often a necessity.
Choosing network standards
Now let's talk about the features you should look for in a wireless router. Just like smartphones, router manufacturers are constantly implementing new and more powerful wireless standards (IEEE standards, specifically) as technology becomes more advanced. That's why we have standards like 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac – these aren't just random numbers, they are a description of router capabilities. The traditional single-home user will likely need a different kind of router from the heavy-gamer or media enthusiast.
The latest standard is 802.11ac, which you see on all the newest routers. That means that the router can support up to Gigabit speeds, much faster than the previous 600Mbps limit. Like previous standards, "ac" is backwards compatible with devices made for older standards. As it becomes widely adopted, 802.11ac is growing more affordable and will soon be commonplace.
If you are buying a new router, look for the "ac" standard first. However, be aware that you won't see the new standard's full benefit unless your devices also support it. If your smartphone only supports 802.11n, for example, then you won't see any speed boost on that phone if you purchase an 802.11ac router. You might find none of your devices support 802.11ac, in which case an older, less expensive router could make more sense.
Capable routers touting the "ac" capability include ASUS Dual-Band AC1750 Wireless Gigabit Router and Netgear Nighthawk AC 1900 Dual-Band Wifi Gigabit Router, each of which offers considerably quicker speeds at the expense of compatibility.
Interpreting Wi-Fi network speeds
Remember, you should always take manufacturers' speed declarations with a grain of salt. For example, many manufactures list "theoretical" maximum bandwidth on their boxes. You'll see anything from 350Mb/sec to 1900Mb/sec (megabits per second), but you'll rarely see throughput that high in realistic environments in which walls, doors, appliances, and other barriers separate your router from its client devices. A plethora of other specs and standards also influence real-world speeds from router to router, so use listed speeds as more of a general guideline.
Fortunately, wireless routers manufactured in compliance with the 802.11ac standard should be capable of streaming high-definition video over a reasonable distance, provided there aren't too many obstacles in the path between the router and its client.
All wireless routers also feature built-in Ethernet for hard-wired network connections, but cheaper routers will have switches rated at only 100Mb/sec. You won't regret spending a few extra dollars to buy a model with a Gigabit switch (that's 1,000Mb/sec).
When buying, remember that a router's speed only determines the speed of your home network. It won't make your Internet connection quicker unless it was bottle-necked by your previous router. Today, that's unlikely in most parts of the world. A typical American router on Comcast, for example, will have bandwidth between 40 and 150 Mb/s. That's not enough to utilize all the bandwidth recent Wi-Fi standards can handle.
Wireless data security
Wireless networks are as insecure as they are convenient — if you don't take steps to secure your network, just about any troublemaker within range can eavesdrop on your online activities, leech off your Internet connection, access any of the files stored on your computers, infect your systems with viruses, and cause all sorts of other problems.
Any router you buy should support at least WPA2 (the second implementation of the Wi-Fi Protected Access protocol), but every device you add to your network must also support WPA2 for this to work. Your network is only as secure as the least-secure device that's connected to it. WPA is acceptable, though not ideal. It's not a good idea to rely on WEP, which is easily cracked by tools that anyone can download for free.
Also keep in mind that some routers are designed with enterprise or advanced family security in mind. These devices come with many extra features, including the ability add extra encryption, monitor devices, block unwanted users from the network, and even see what people are browsing.
How many bands do I need?
Manufacturers have sold dual-band routers for years, but now many are starting to roll out tri-band routers as well.
Dual-band typically means that the router is equipped with two radios, one that operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band, and one that runs on the 5.0GHz frequency band. This enables you to set up two separate wireless networks, so you can improve speeds in a crowded wireless network by bumping some devices over to the alternate frequency.
Make sure you read the fine print, though. Some dual-band routers in fact have one radio that can operate on either the 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz bands, but not both at the same time.
Tri-band routers include a second 5.0GHz band. This is helpful if you have a lot of mobile devices on one network and need to spread them around three bands for greater efficiency and data management. Tri-band routers remain rare, because very few people need them. They can be useful in a dorm or office, but aren't necessary for the average house.
Smart Wireless Management
(Bill Roberson/Digital Trends)
One of the worst problems to plague the average router is interference. A router isn't much good if it can't give you acceptable wireless signals everywhere you want it. Fortunately, most modern routers have a couple other tricks to deal with this problem.
The solution is using "smart" processes that identify devices or dead zones and target them with Wi-Fi signals so they they always get service. The monstrous D-Link AC3200 Ultra, for example, has SmartBeam technology to do just this. Products like Luma, on the other, encourage people to buy several routers and link them together to create a Wi-Fi web around your home that eliminates dead zones. These solutions are something to keep in mind if you've had bad experiences with routers in the past.
Google's recently introduced OnHub router goes a step further, baking extensive Wi-Fi functionality into an easily understood smartphone app. Other manufacturers are also taking this route, though OnHub's is the easiest to understand so far.
Quality of Service
Despite the label, Quality of Service (QoS) is not related to the quality of your Internet connection; rather, it's a set of mechanisms within the router's firmware that reserves certain resources for different applications.
If you rely on a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service, such as Vonage, for telephone service, QoS allows you to configure the router to assign that data flow higher priority. So if someone in your home is downloading a large file while you're talking on the phone, the quality of your call won't degrade.
QoS can also be used to optimize your network's performance with online games, video streaming, and similar applications. QoS can't increase your network's bandwidth or speed up your Internet access, but it can make the best use of the online resources you do have.
USB connections
(Jessica Lee Star/Digital Trends)
The last router feature we'll examine is USB support. You'll find USB ports on many routers, but it's important to find out what that port is used for. On some routers, it's merely a means of transferring setup information (network ID and password, for example) from the router to a client via a USB memory key. Better routers will allow you to plug in a USB mass-storage device to add NAS (network-attached storage) functionality. Plug a large USB hard drive into your router and every device on your network will have access to that storage resource — it's like having a cheap server.
You should also pay attention to the generation of the USB port. Many routers have a combination of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. Some only have one or the other. At least one USB 3.0 port is a smart feature to purchase if you plan on attaching any accessories.
What to spend: Price vs. performance
Router prices vary greatly based on their features, antennas, ports, and much more. Generally, the best routers available today vary from $100 to $250. You can find smaller routers below this range, and large enterprise routers above it, but most fall somewhere along the line. If you're on a tight budget, you can find some decent routers for $50 or less, but they won't offer all the latest and greatest features.
A cheap router that delivers sub-par performance is no bargain. Product reviews will give you a hint as to what you can expect, but setting one up in your own home is the only sure way to know how the router will perform in your unique environment. When you buy yours, make sure the retailer you do business with offers a liberal return policy if you're not satisfied.

Jennifer Lawrence Lends Voice to New University of Louisville Video - Watch Now!
Jennifer Lawrence's voice is completely recognizable in a new video for Kentucky's University of Louisville to honor the college's move from the American Athletic Conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference!
"I grew up in the Derby City, home to a proud and storied university, filled with rich athletic tradition and packed with fans who are as loyal and passionate as any in college sports, the 23-year-old actress says in the video.
She adds, "This region and these people live and breathe the Cardinals. The 'L' is the sign that connects all of us to one strong and united Card Nation. Now the next chapter of Louisville athletics is upon us as we join the prestigious ACC and prepare to face some of history's most accomplished and elite collegiate programs."
"The competition will be fierce. Let's do this!" Jennifer closes.
FYI: Jennifer's mom Karen was once a cheerleader for the university.

1. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushsinious Jul 31, 2012 7:29 AM (in response to streamworksaudio)
You might want to try enabling inBufferSeek:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetStream.htm l#inBufferSeek
It might retain a bit longer. Also shortening your overall buffer length will reduce this issue to that amount of time.
Lastly, if it's just a "get around it" issue you might consider adding a "flag" of some sort to tell yourself when those events fire off. Then when a NetStream.Buffer.Flush fires, you set the flag to true to let yourself know it's emptying. Then when the NetStream.Play.Stop is fired off, you simply check that flag and if it's true you know you're in a flush and can run a ns.play() to make sure it plays after the seek.
Just remember to reset that flag when the buffer starts to fill or you do a seek so the NetStream.Play.Stop functions as normal.
2. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushstreamworksaudio Jul 31, 2012 10:57 AM (in response to sinious)
Thanks Sinious,
I will give inBufferSeek a look.
I was looking at shortening the buffer, but the correct me if I am wrong... but after ready about setting buffer, is that it only appluies to videos from a URL. I should have added that the video files I am working with are for local playback.
As a workaround I did have a listener for the NetStream.Buffer.Flush event, and disabled the scrubber bar upon that event, as the problem only occurs if seeking took place after that event (i.e seeking after NetStream.Buffer.Flush fired - would cause it to fires several times). Most of the time it causes no problems, but if I test it by doing a large amount of seek requests in short succesion (again after NetStream.Buffer.Flush), suddent the NetStream.Play.Stop event gets fired (which I have a method for that event).
I will look into inBufferSeek to see if that helps.
3. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushsinious Jul 31, 2012 11:27 AM (in response to streamworksaudio)
Code operates at gigaflop speed so as long as you have the right conditions setting the right flag at the right time you should be able to avoid the issue. A HUGE amount of code can be completed in just a seconds worth of time. It might even be worth using a timer to put a "hold" on interaction for a single second before the user can proceed, only after the buffer emptying process begins so you don't bother normal seeks.
Playing off the local filesystem renders the buffer size moot. You are getting events for it however. You may as well set the buffer time to 0 and perhaps the event will only fire at the completion of the video.

Yeah, I think I am going to disable the scrubber bar after the Flush starts to avoid the issue (that seeking while the Flush is happening can sometimes result in a NetStream.Play.Stop event).
I tried setting the buffer size (ns.setBufferTime) but I get a warning "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setBufferTime through a reference with static type flash.net:NetStream." I have no idea as to why....mmmmm
I traced out the buffersize while playing... and it's mostly at 1.4 seconds.... till it starts to flush, which is about 1.5 seconds before the end of the video. So I am thinking if I can set the buffer to zero (or .1 even) I would avoid the early Flush.
5. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushsinious Jul 31, 2012 12:53 PM (in response to streamworksaudio)
It's just bufferTime:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetStream.htm l#bufferTime
The default is actually already 0.1. It mentions you can set it to 0 for live streaming content but playback off a desktop is pretty much the same, so I'd probably set it to 0 anyhow.
6. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushstreamworksaudio Jul 31, 2012 1:13 PM (in response to sinious)
Thanks again for you help..... my newbie status to AS3 is starting to show.... when I try ns.bufferTime(0); I get the error....
Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method bufferTime through a reference with static type flash.net:NetStream. Streamworks Audio Video Player/src/actionScript actionScript.as line 24 1343765208891 877
Like I say... newbie
7. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushsinious Aug 1, 2012 5:42 AM (in response to streamworksaudio)
bufferTime is a property of a NetStream object, like .x and .y are properties of a MovieClip. You set properties like so:
myNetStream.bufferTime = 0;
A method is a function and only then do you use your syntax with parenthesis around arguments. The error description mentions it's not a method (because it's a property).
8. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushstreamworksaudio Aug 1, 2012 11:02 AM (in response to sinious)
But it appears that hte buffer cannot be changed... still showing the same value for size even if I set it to 0.1
9. Re: netstream seek during buffer flushsinious Aug 1, 2012 11:31 AM (in response to streamworksaudio)
If it were being downloaded it'd work but in your situation I think 1.5 seconds worth of "seek disable" time for the buffer to empty isn't so bad .

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

There's nothing like nothing to lose!
Cruising along Sugar Hollow, trying to keep it together (this and all photos by Andrew Zapanta)
Last December, I volunteered at the Three Bridges Marathon, a new local marathon held in White Hall, Virginia at the base of the Shenandoah National Park (SNP). The course is USATF-certified and a Boston qualifier, perfect for those marathoners seeking a late fall race and a BQ on a *relatively* flat course. It is a 6-mile loop done 4 times with a 2 mile spur at the start, on a road that parallels the Moormans River and crosses three bridges as it winds through Sugar Hollow.
Low-key and a labor of love for the folks at Ragged Mountain Running Shop, 3B benefits Meals on Wheels and the Ragged Mountain Racing Team, a post-collegiate Olympic training and racing team coached by my friend Mark Lorenzoni. The ultra-like vibe, the beautiful course, and curiosity about how I would fare 9 years removed from my marathon PR (3:28, set in 2001 in Richmond), sold me once I decided to take a break from my usual December challenge, the Hellgate 100K. I waited until I felt recovered--somewhat--from Masochist, and filled out the last entry before it closed two weeks ago!
A wise man once said, "the hardest race distances are 100 miles and the marathon." No kidding. There is a reason I had not run a road marathon since 2002: pain and suffering. I finished my first marathon at Marine Corps in 1990 in 3:40 after a long day struggling with ITBS. After taking about ten years off of racing to have children, I ran my PR at Richmond in 2001 and attempted to top that in 2002 at Marathon in the Parks, but fell short with a 3:32. In 2002 I also ran my first trail ultra, and after experiencing the beauty of aerobic pacing on trails, racing another road marathon didn't make sense. It took me 8 years to find one that did.
My top-10 reasons to love the Three Bridges Marathon:
10. The setting. Beautiful Moormans River, the SNP looming above, the loop course for cheering others...and only 20 minutes from my house.
9. The vibe. With 70+ half-marathoners sharing the course, it was awesome to see runners back and forth and give and take the good kharma.
7. The schwag. At the finish, I was handed a schwag bag with a homemade chocolate chip cookie, a coupon for deals at RMRS, a RMRS water bottle, and Three Bridges cotton gloves. The winners got a 100.00 gift certificate to dinner at the Clifton Inn (sweet!).
6. The entry fee. My 40.00 entry went to Meals on Wheels and supported the young bucks on the Ragged Mountain Racing Team. For an additional 15.00, I could have gotten a great looking adidas technical T.
5. The vibe...and the pacers! Did I mention the vibe? At 3B, one can have a pacer jump in at any time. I had pacers during loop 3 (Rick Kwiatkowsi) and loop 4 (Quatro and Erin Boyles) who blocked the horrendous head wind we encountered every 6 miles heading west. During the last 4 miles, Q and Eric Magrum, my PT who has kept me healthy for 8 years of ultrarunning, kept me in good spirits when my spirits bonked. Thanks, guys!
Quatro handing out water at the AS
4. The aid stations and support. Every 2 miles there was a rowdy group offering water, Gatorade, and assorted soup and yummies. Ultra celebs Bill Gentry, Quatro Hubbard, and Bill Potts manned the turn-around point on the east end and I was able to swap out bottles and gels. Where else can one have the best PT in Virginia cruise up and down the course on his mountain bike looking to help injured or cramping runners?
Eric Magrum, PT extraordinaire
3. The music. It wasn't the Rock N' Roll Marathon (thankfully...) but it was just as fun to hear songs we had requested that had been burned into a race-day CD, playing at each AS. I heard my song "Two Step" by Dave at least twice. Nice.
2. The distance. I have HUGE respect for my friends who are devoted to their marathon training. The marathon distance is a great challenge, and running 11:30 mile pace for 50+ miles for 9+ hours at Mountain Masochist was a lot easier than 7:45 mile pace for 3.5 hours!
1. Speaking of my marathon peeps...the absolute BEST thing about Three Bridges is, of course, the people behind the scenes who make it happen. From course measurement, parking logistics, aid stations, the fabulous finish line brunch (thank you Mike Gaffney!), the cheers and energy...this race has fabulous support. Thank you volunteers!
Bill Potts, Aid Station Chief
Bill Gentry, Aid Station Party Guy
As for my race...I was not sure what to expect four weeks after running Masochist, but I figured I had nothing to lose. Two weeks ago I ran a solid track workout with AJW coaching me (in person!), and felt great. Andy told me that, given my track times, I could run a fast race, but my goals were varied: first and foremost, I wanted to finish without any injury or issues. I also wanted to run close to 3:28 and see what my 47-year-old body could do with eight years of ultra training effect.
I was on pace for 3:28 after a conservative first half (1:44), but the wheels started falling off on the fourth loop as I was climbing into the headwind and losing energy. Q and Erin did their best to block the wind, but when Eric cruised by on his mountain bike, we started chatting about ultras, families, and friends and I realized I was cruising along at 8:50 pace...and liking it. So much for racing...I managed to hold on for a 3:37 finish time and first place female. It was so much fun to break the tape! Yay!
However, I was NOT proud when I discovered at the end that my full Hammergel flask was only 50% consumed...which meant I had only taken in 470 calories (counting 270 from my bottle of PERP) for the entire 3.5 hours. DUH. No wonder I felt like crap those last six miles. Another lesson learned: Nutrition is everything!
Many thanks to all the wonderful folks at Ragged Mountain Running Shop for dreaming up this fabulous race. We are so blessed to be able to live in a town where the running community is so strong, vibrant, and supportive. I was totally humbled by the marathon distance and honored to be part of such a fine event...now I will go quietly back into the woods and mountains, where I belong!
"It's worth it all learning at last
The future begins with the past
Step out of the shadow it casts
And let the sun shine on your shoes
Kick 'em off in the rain if you choose
There's nothing like nothing to lose
We traveled so far
We traveled so far to be here"

What does a person do when they step out of their comfort zone? They do just what you did. You ran great. Yea there is always something we can improve upon, but you have to remember that it is much harder to eat and drink when you are moving quickly. There are no walk breaks up a long climb in a road marathon. You had the whole ultra world out there for support and it sounds like they kept you in line and focussed on the task at hand. I am proud of you Sophie. You showed those younger chicks just what you are made of. Congratulations on breaking that tape!

A great way to start the day; reading a heartfelt story on Sophie's blog! I'm sure with some "extra mustard" in the training (and watching your race nutrition :-)), you could PR your next marathon if you desired. Oh, and it sounds like a wonderful event.

Thanks, friends! This was such a fun race. It meant a ton to have the ultra celebs (Gentry, Potts, Q) out there alongside the C'Ville running community too. So fun to mix it all up! I have huge huge respect for those of you who run fast marathons. It was fun and "comfortably hard" for the first 20 and then it wasn't. Amazing how the switch goes so quickly.
I *thought* I knew nutrition and had it dialed in, but this race was a smack in the face that "snooze, you lose!" Wow. I had not really felt a bonk like that since MMT in 2005 and we all know how that turned out---ugly.
Rooster, I am taking a page out of your book and got WAY out of my comfort zone. VERY impressed with you and your new found love---mountain biking!
Thanks again for all the kind comments and support!

Jense marched in last night and told me he had something awesome to show me. He proudly showed me his latest lego creations. I take a lot of pictures of his lego creations, but this one is different because of the question that went along with the reveal....
With his face beaming with pride he asked me, "Mom? Do you have time to do a blog about these?"
For you Jense, I have all the time in the world!
I love my lego boy and I love how he loves to show me ALL the cool things he makes. He has developed quite the creting bug. He has something different attached to the top off all of his remote control cars every other day. He has asked me every day this week to go the recycling center so he can makes something out of "old things." Our recycle pile doesn't keep him busy enough. :-)
He is such a fun and rewarding son!
I also love that he requested that I blog (my hobby) about it.
Love you Jense!

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but the early 20th century decision to plant salt cedar to stabilize stream banks in the Southwest guaranteed diminished flow of the rivers and tributaries vital to the agricultural, environmental and economic stability of the region.
Today, scientists from New Mexico and Texas universities, as well as various state agencies, are spending millions of dollars to eradicate the aggressive, invasive species from the Pecos and Rio Grande river basins.
"We've been testing methods to get rid of salt cedar since 1987," says Keith Duncan, a brush and weed control specialist with the New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service. Duncan works out of the Agricultural Science Center in Artesia in the heart of the Pecos Valley.
Duncan expects results. "We sprayed a large demonstration project in 1995 and 1996 to show what we could do," Duncan says. "Most efforts since then are results of that initial program."
The breakthrough came with a herbicide, Arsenal, a broad-spectrum material from BASF that is "environmentally sound and the only one that works on salt cedar," Duncan says.
Cutting the trees has been ineffective. "The vegetation is so aggressive it grows back from the trunk or the roots. It's also time-consuming and expensive to take out as many trees as we need to."
Initial spraying projects have included relatively short stretches of the river basins, but Duncan says an effective project must include the entire courses of the Pecos and Rio Grande rivers as well as tributaries.
It's time to get started, he says. "Salt cedar is a major factor in low water levels in both these rivers. Studies show that removing salt cedar will improve both quantity and quality of water. Springs come back, steam flow increases, and wetlands return."
Duncan says the exotic species has no native enemies and thrives in the arid Southwestern climate. "Along the Pecos, stands of salt cedar will reach 3,000 to 4,000 per acre. Cottonwood and willow populations, by comparison, will be nearer 200 per acre."
One salt cedar is a giant straw, sucking as much as 200 gallons of water per day out of rivers, springs and wetlands. "When we remove the salt cedar, water begins to come back.
"But success demands a major program. We'll need at least two years to measure kill from the herbicide."
Duncan expects a $5 million project to begin this fall, $2.5 million for the Pecos and $2.5 million for the Rio Grande. "We have not initiated a major program up and down the river basins before," he says. "It's a complex water system and we have to treat major acreage to have an impact. We'll start this year, but we have to treat a lot of miles of the river."
They will apply herbicide by helicopter because of increased control compared to fixed-wing aerial application. Spray area could include up to a 200-foot swath along the river basins. Some areas may require less, depending on how far from the river salt cedar has spread, as well as what vegetation, cropland or sensitive areas might be along the riverbanks.
Duncan says Arsenal has provided up to 90 percent control of salt cedar in early demonstrations. "But we'll be working a larger area and we'll encounter more variables."
One problem the project has not encountered so far is strong opposition from environmental organizations.
"Most environmentalists are behind us," Duncan says. "They understand that something has to be done. Salt cedar is not good for wildlife, fish or native vegetation. They understand that a herbicide is a tool we can use in the right place for an environmental benefit. We all want to assure safeguards."
Duncan says the Audubon Society, the Sierra Club and other groups have supported the effort.
The herbicide is a big reason for the support. Arsenal began as a specialty product to control roadside and right-of-way vegetation.
"It's a broad spectrum herbicide that will kill a lot of plants," Duncan says, "but not everything. It's not effective on legumes. We'll have to be careful around willows and cottonwoods, too.
"But the herbicide label includes a habitat improvement statement and is the only one used for endangered species habitat improvement."
Still, Duncan says some sensitive areas will require other measures. "Where we find susceptible crops and trees, we'll have to cut out the salt cedar."
Duncan says herbicide application "is no silver bullet. It's just part of the solution. We still need rain and snow pack to restore stream flow in these rivers.
"In New Mexico, we need to define adequate water rights. Improved irrigation efficiency is part of the solution as well."
Duncan says if the region gets back to more normal rainfall and snow-pack patterns, eradication efforts will become evident.
"We could see a difference in stream flow within two years," he says. "If drought conditions persist, we'll still be in trouble."
If the project is carried out all the way down the river basins, and if weather improves. and if legislators get behind the project, "we'll see tremendous improvement in five years," Duncan says. "But that's a lot of ifs."
Climate and politics, he says, are equally difficult to predict. "But politicians have begun to realize how important water is to the region. They understand that our rivers are in trouble. The Pecos is in critical condition. The Rio Grande and the Canadian are getting critical. Other rivers face similar problems. That's why politicians are beginning to pay attention to salt cedar."
Duncan says this project will not get rid of every salt cedar stand along the river basins. "But we can get the population down to where native vegetation and the natural ecosystem can function again."

HoustonHawk82 wrote:I have been a major collector of Seahawks uniforms since the early 90's. Over the years, I have accumulated over 300 pieces in my collection. Most have been resold, but I still have a ton of stuff. Many of the guys on this board have stuff from me and they can back me up here. I hate to keep re-hashing this stuff, but maybe it is time again...
The Seahawks have never worn jerseys or pants manufactured by Starter (or more specifically, the "Starter" brand name). So, this is NOT an authentic jersey. Although the names of the companies have changed due to mergers and marketing moves, many came from Wisconsin factories back in the day. MacGregor, Reebok, Wilson, Puma, LogoAthletic, et. al. are all in bed together (or at least friends on Facebook), but very different on the store shelves, but every one has been worn by the Seahawks over the years. They may have worn some items at practice made under the Starter label, but not on game day.
When I think of an authentic piece, I think about a brand name that the team actually wore during games. Then, I look at if it is a retail version or an actual player jersey. Player's jerseys are cut specifically to fit tightly in the body and allow for shoulder pads (duh) and have extra length so as not to be readily "un-tucked". Additionally, the material quality is quite different, it is doubled in some areas, and piece is much heavier than the typical reproduction pieces. This has changed over the years since mesh jerseys were worn, and the quality of the reproduction jerseys has dramatically improved especially during the Reebok era.
The Hawks wore MacGregor "Sand Knit" jerseys from 76 to around 83/84 when they switched to Wilson. Wilson ran from 84 thru 89/90 then it was Puma, then LogoAthletic, Reebok, then of course Nike. I have had numerous pairs of the old silver pants where the Wilson logo on the thigh was actually covered by a Puma logo which was sewn over it. These uniforms were primarily used in practices and in preseason games where 90+ players had to be clothed for games. Once the final roster was established, the game unis were made up and issued according to whatever contract was in place.
There has NEVER been an actual, game-ready, player-prepped, official, real, uniform copy, made of a real player's jersey, that went straight to the store shelves. However, in the days of Wilson, it was possible to buy a real jersey from the proshop that was made of the same materials and cut, but was void of the tagging used by the teams to launder and keep track of them. In the early days, a sharpie on the tag sufficed, then it went to sewn in numbers, then barcodes. Yes, Reebok has the "jock tag" that says "On Field", and the same exact tag was was used on real jerseys, but little "sub-tags" were sewn under the edges with the various sizes and variations (i.e.: 48L, 44S, etc) The Wilson jerseys prepped for the team to wear had the Wilson jock tag, then another one sewn on next to it that said "...Prestige Teams". You find one of those and you have something.
Many of us have stuff that was sold in the parking lot of the KingDome before the 02 season. Pants, practice jerseys, helmets, gloves, all kinds of stuff. Examining that merchandise really told the story. I recently sent a Kenny Easley jersey to Dr. Diags that was a 1994, 75th anniversary away jersey. The team made them up for his Ring of Honor induction and sold a ton of them out of the proshop. Own one of those and you have something also. Oh, and no matter what new Nike jersey you buy, NONE of them will be truly "Authentic" player jerseys. Even the Elites have "beer-belly" cuts and none of them are taylor-fit player pieces. Sorry.

Simeone: Atletico Madrid relishing title bid
Diego Simeone is confident Atletico Madrid can rise to the challenge of winning an enthralling race for the La Liga title.
Simeone's charges were beaten for the first time in 11 matches on Sunday, when Levante won 2-0 to strike a blow to the Madrid side's quest to be crowned Spanish champions for the first time since 1996.
Despite that loss, Atletico's destiny remains very much in their own hands going into the final two games, although Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in with a shout of winning the title.
Simeone believes his squad are enjoying the excitement that has come with this season's title race, stating that they see winning the title as a responsibility rather than a pressure.
"We're in for three weeks of excitement. We have to take it in our stride and keep working well. It's less an adrenaline rush and more a feeling of vertigo," Marca quote the former Argentina midfielder as saying.
"I experienced it a lot during my playing career and it's a feeling we like and are enjoying. You should always believe and we do.
"What we're doing is a responsibility. We don't see these weeks in terms of pressure: we're taking them as a challenge that we have to rise to."
Simeone also called for caution after the defeat to Levante, which came on a weekend where none of the top three picked up maximum points.
The former Inter and Lazio man, who has also guided his side to a UEFA Champions League final against city rivals Real, is relishing being in such a strong position so late in the season.
"We're in an ideal situation and we'd have all taken it if we'd been offered it at the beginning of the season," he added.
"The facts speak for themselves: we lost to Levante but it's still in our hands. We have to be strong."
Atleti are three points clear of Barcelona, with Carlo Ancelotti's Real side are two points further back with a game in hand - at Real Valladolid on Wednesday.

Study Confirms What You Already Knew: Mobile Data Throttling About The Money, Not Stopping Data Hogs
from the it's-all-about-the-$$$ dept
Of course, as I've argued in the past, this is a pretty short-sighted strategy by the mobile operators. While they have every right to set up whatever business models they want in order to maximize profit, this might come back to haunt them. The problem with a tiered or throttled data plan is that it actually makes the mobile data service less valuable. Not only does it cost more for the same usage, it adds mental transaction costs as users have to keep track of their usage. That's only going to make people value alternatives much more. The carriers can get away with that if there are no alternatives (as is the case some of the time), but as more alternatives hit the market, expect people to shift their usage to networks they can actually use without fear.

The 'Beast of Hackney Marshes' mystery - pictures
PUBLISHED: 14:29 17 May 2012 | UPDATED: 16:07 17 May 2012
Helen Murray - submitted
A strange creature has been captured on camera on Hackney Marshes - 30 years after the unexplained sighting of another mystery beast sparked a full-scale search for a suspected bear on the loose.
Terrified university student Helen Murray said she took the snaps while out for a stroll near dense woodland close to a path near the Old River Lea on bank holiday Monday earlier this month.
She said she was stopped in her tracks by the unknown animal, which was larger than a person and covered in shaggy black fur.
"I tried to stay calm as I wasn't sure what kind of animal it was or if it was even alive," she said. "I had my phone ready to call 999. Then the creature moved. Somehow I managed to take a couple of pictures before I ran.
"I managed to get away but was scared half to death."
Ms Murray says she didn't contact the police because she thought they wouldn't believe her.
A spokeswoman for Hackney police said there have been no other reports of sightings, while experts at London Zoo said the pictures were not clear enough for them to comment.
The photographs have revived memories of the unexplained case of a bear reportedly sighted on the Marshes in 1981 - 50 police officers, army marksmen, and a helicopter were drafted in to search the area, but the beast was never found.
Officers at the time stressed the people who'd seen the animal were not hoaxers, although they admitted they could have been victims of a hoax.
Two bear carcasses had previously been found nearby in the River Lea and it remains a mystery how they got there.

Alternate Names
Clean intermittent catheterization - female; CIC - female
You will use a catheter (tube) to drain urine from your bladder. You may need a catheter because you have urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery that made a catheter necessary, or another health problem.
What to Expect at Home
Urine will drain through your catheter into the toilet or a special container. Your doctor will show you how to use your catheter. After some practice, it will get easier.
Sometimes family members, a school nurse, or others may be able to help you use your catheter.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for the right catheter for you. Generally your catheter may be about 6 inches long, but there are different types and sizes. You can buy catheters at medical supply stores. You will also need small plastic bags and a gel such as K-Y jelly or Surgilube. Do NOT use Vaseline (petroleum jelly).
Ask your doctor how often you should empty your bladder with your catheter. Usually you empty your bladder every4 to 6 hours, or 4to 6 times a day. Always empty your bladder first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed at night. You may need to empty your bladder more frequently if you have had more fluids to drink.
You can empty your bladder while sitting on a toilet. Your doctor or nurse can show you how to do this correctly.
Using Your Catheter
Follow these steps to insert your catheter:
- Wash your hands well with soap and water.
- Collect your supplies: catheter (open and ready to use), towelette or other cleaning wipe, lubricant, and a container to collect urine if you are not planning to sit on the toilet.
- You may use clean disposable gloves, if you prefer not to use your bare hands. The gloves do not need to be sterile, unless your doctor says so.
- With one hand, gently pull the labia open, and find the urinary opening. You can use a mirror to help you at first.
- With your other hand, wash your labia 3 times from front to back, up and down the middle, and on both sides.Use a fresh antiseptic towelette or baby wipe each time. Or, you may use cotton balls with mild soap and water. Rinse well and dry if you use soap and water.
- Apply the K-Y Jelly or other gel to the tip and top 2 inches of the catheter. (Some catheters come with gel already on them.)
- While you continue to hold your labia with your first hand, use your other hand to slide the catheter gently up into your urethra until urine starts to flow. Do not force the catheter. Start over if it is not going in well. Try to relax and breathe deeply.
- Let the urine flow into the toilet or container.
- When urine stops flowing, slowly remove the catheter. Pinch the end closed to avoid getting wet.
- Wipe around your urinary opening and labia again with a towelette, baby wipe, or cotton ball.
- If you are using a container to collect urine, empty it into the toilet. Always close the toilet lid before flushing to prevent germs from spreading.
- Wash your hands with soap and water.
Cleaning Your Catheter
Most insurance companies will pay for you to use a sterile catheter for each use. Some kinds of catheters are meant to be used only once, but many catheters can be re-used if they are cleaned correctly.
If you are reusing your catheter, you must clean your catheter every day. Always make sure you are in a clean bathroom. Do NOT let the catheter touch any of the bathroom surfaces (such as the toilet, wall, and floor).
Follow these steps:
- Wash your hands well.
- Rinse out the catheter with a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 4 parts water. Or, you can soak it in hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes. You can also use warm water and soap. The catheter does not need to be sterile, just clean.
- Rinse it again with cold water.
- Hang the catheter over a towel to dry.
- When it is dry, store the catheter in a new plastic bag.
Throw away the catheter when it becomes dry and brittle.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- You are having trouble inserting or cleaning your catheter.
- You are leaking urine between catheterization.
- You have a skin rash or sores.
- You notice a smell.
- You have pain in your vagina or bladder.
- You have signs of infection (a burning sensation when you urinate, fever, fatigue,or chills).

Horizon Global Services
I have attached a PDF that shows the type of document I am trying to deign. With the cover page, and header/footer.. I want the header and footer to be more Horizon than this document, but this shows what I'm trying to do.
Horizon Global Services is a US based business offering IT services around the globe. We provide resources in our customers offices, on-shore resources as well as off-shore resources. We do not try to sell anything to anyone. We only offer services that we know a lot about, and can prove this to our customers. We want to keep our customers happy, and that is the bottom line.
The demographic will be both male and female usually middle to upper management and C-level executives. This is for an existing market to compete with companies such as IBM Global Services, Unisys, Fujitsu.
1) See attached Logo - please do not use the gradient in the starburst behind the logo. I do not think this will print well, and always look the same. Please use a solid blue with white letters or the other version with grey letters and white background, or also you can use blue letters.
Overall Requirements: corporate, professional, classy, unique and easy on the eyes, balance.
Please take your time. Do not rush to submit everything I ask for at once. Let's make sure your concept is what we want before you complete all the tasks. Project will be guaranteed as soon as someone submits a design I will purchase. Will consider increasing prize if design is spot on, but the workload is too much.
1) 2-sided color Business card. Shadow image / watermark ok, but not required.
2) Stationary: 1 or 2 sided color. Shadow image / watermark ok, but not required. Need a first page that has more detail, and a second page that matches the first, but with less detail.
3) Report Cover Page (1 or 2 sided color. Shadow image/ watermark ok, but not required). This should have something such as Statement of Work as a heading. For (customer name), Author, Date, etc. Also a project title, and project sub title. This should match the other stationary and business card. This could be used as a cover sheet for a document. An example document would have this as a cover page, and then the second page of stationary.
Preference will be given to a designer that can complete typeset, #4,5, and 6, however it will not be required to win this contest. Only thing required will be business card, stationary, cover page.
Please include typeset for the report/stationary that shows Page Title, First, Second, Third and Forth level of headers. Such as 1) Statement of Work 1.1) Contact Information 1.1.1) Horizon 188.8.131.52) Customer Name also, include bullet point look/feel. Would be nice to have a table grid that shows header row, details with alternating background color, table of contents, footer with page numbers, confidential wording, revision number, date, etc. (this typeset could be done in word document) Would also like a signature block that looks official and banking style something that has a spot for a signature, a name, title, date, etc. Maybe a box around it, large arrow.. something classy and official looking.
4) I would also like to see a pocket folder design
5) power-point presentation template.
6) envelope
prefer adobe illustrator files.
Any other corporate collateral you can suggest and add will help your chances
I have more work like this, so I am hoping to build a good relationship with someone.
