Viz manga and Eng Tv
Viz manga takes precedence over English Tv, since it comes out first. English tv is meant for how the technique is called in the dubbed episodes, not in the subbed episodes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:35, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
- And if the name used in either is the same as the one used in the manga, it's redundant to add it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:48, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
Please to read ^this.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:06, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Similarly, if a technique's name game matches its literal name, there's no need to list it as game name. Usually, if the technique has kanji, odds are the article name is the literal English. For example, you've recently edited Five-Mountain Jump and Cat Fire Bowl. Those two are the game names, but they're also the literal English, so no point in listing those as game names. Game name is only for when literal English differs from game name. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:49, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
Another thing, where are you getting Viz names? At least one name you added is not matching a Viz name provided by other user, and he's giving volume and page for the names. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:44, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Hoops Haven entered four pools and came up empty (thank you, Roy Williams), so we caution that these picks are for recreational purposes only.
Ohio State 75, Georgetown 73: Greg Oden and Roy Hibbert play to a draw, but Ohio State's guards are the difference. Conley, Lewis, et al are athletic enough to stifle Georgetown's perimeter shooting, and there's only so much the Hoyas can get through the backdoor with Oden standing guard. All bets are off if the refs decide to call ticky-tack fouls inside (please, please let the behemoths slug it out on their own terms). If Driscoll, Cahill or Burr draw this game, we're gonna be sick.
Florida 67, UCLA 60: Embarrassed by last year's title-game debacle, UCLA puts its best foot forward and leads for much of the game, but Florida's inside game wears down the Bruins' bigs in the last five minutes. Much of the world will be shocked if UCLA wins this game. We will not be, but it's foolish to pick against the defending champs.
We welcome predictions from our basketball-savvy readership…
–Does Billy Packer make you cringe? If so, you have to read this USA Today story about him. The guy is a first-class egomaniac. I'm half surprised he didn't claim to have helped James Naismith put up the other peach basket. Give him credit for one thing, though—he doesn't pull any punches in this interview.
Here's the link: nuttybillypacker
–Fellow Seton Hall beat writer J.P. Pelzman has written an outstanding story on The Hall's 1989 Final Four team. Great quotes from John Morton, Anthony Avent and Pookey Wigington. Morton is right…that team was NOT a Cinderella.
John Clougherty's awful foul call with three seconds left will be his epitaph, and he knows it. Has there ever been another call in a major sport's championship game that so clearly swung the verdict from one team to another?
Anyway, here's the link: the1989finalfourteam
–Also, J.P. is blogging from the Final Four in Atlanta. His first entry has noteworthy stuff about that 89 team and Rutgers' 1976 Final Four squad. J.P. has a good eye for interesting tidbits, so keep an eye on his entries this weekend.
Here's the link to that: http://njmg.typepad.com/final4/
–Keep your other eye on Bowling Green's coaching search. Louis Orr is a serious candidate. The MAC school, which hasn't been to the NCAA Tourney since 1968, could do a whole lot worse than Orr, a capable coach and a gentleman who has Ohio roots.
–Speaking of coaching news, is Harvard going to hire Mike Jarvis? Or (gasp) Tommy Amaker? Check out Gary Parrish's column on cbssportsline: harvardcoachingsearch
–Eight of my 10 Wooden Award selections made the All-America team. The exceptions were Chris Lofton and Drew Neitzel (Tyler Hansbrough and Aaron Brooks got the nod instead). Georgetown's Jeff Green, by the way, was left off the list of finalists in an egregious oversight by the Wooden committee. Stats don't mean everything, fellas.
–Lastly, nice job by West Virginia in Thursday night's NIT final. The Mounties' title was good for the Big East and good for the program. They came within five seconds of making the NCAA Tourney, and they would have been a handful for somebody in the first round (unlike, say, Stanford and Arkansas).
The long-running debate among hoops aficianados revolves around the worth of a strong NIT showing. There have been teams that built off of it (Connecticut in 1988, Stanford in 1991, Wake Forest in 2000, Memphis in 2002) and ones that didn't (Nebraska in 1996, St. John's in 2003, Michigan in 2004, South Carolina in 2005 and 2006).
West Virginia, with its young roster, would seem to be a team capable of using this as a stepping stone. Of course, that could change in a flash if Michigan or another school poaches John Beilein, who is one of the 10 best bench coaches in the country.
Bloomfield Tech's DeSean Butler posted 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds, by the way, and Summit's Wellington Smith added two points and three boards. Both of those guys are freshmen.
Enjoy the hoops. We'll be back Sunday night with a title-game preview.

|What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States. It is caused by deterioration of a portion of the retina, the back of the eye that records the images we see and communicates them via the optic nerve to the brain. Macular degeneration affects the central portion of the eye, along with our ability to read, recognize faces or drive a car. Early stages of macular degeneration may not be entirely recognizable, as vision impairment at this stage may be mild. Therefore, regular eye examinations are highly recommended to help diagnose eye conditions, including macular degeneration. Risk for this diseases increases with age; although, there is not yet a fully determined cause of macular degeneration or a known cure. Diet is one of the most important factors in treating macular degeneration, along with exercise and protecting your eye health overall.
If you are experiencing vision loss, or have any questions about macular degeneration or nutrition for your eyesight, please contact us for more information.
Nutrition and Your Eyes
As you've probably heard, carrots are good for your eyes. Technically, they can't give you superhero-quality eyesight like you may have been told when you were young, but they do contain ingredients that are instrumental in protecting your vision and overall health. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene (which the body converts into vitamin A) and antioxidants known to reduce the risk of some cancers, such as leukemia and lung cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The vitamins and nutrients in carrots also help protect the delicate surface of your eyes.
Nonetheless, carrots are not the only foods known to be beneficial for your eyes. In fact, brightly colored fruits and vegetables in general — including pumpkin, red peppers, watermelon and broccoli — have been found to help protect your vision health.
Here are some of our favorites:
It's best to eat a balanced diet instead of focusing on one single nutrient, because, as with zinc and vitamin A, many of these nutrients work together for your vision health. Moreover, your overall health will thank you too.

It was a typical Cook's Illustrated recipe, for an Italian vegetable stew called Ciambotta, flavored with a quickie pesto called pestata. Yes, it had long directions and a lengthy list of ingredients. But in my summer-packed kitchen, I thought I had them all - basil, eggplants, onions, potatoes, zucchini.
Except -- uh-oh -- no canned tomatoes, which is what was supposed to provide the liquid to turn it into a stew. And there was all that time hanging out in a hot kitchen. I wasn't crazy about that idea at the end of a long weekend.
Time to innovate. Ditch the potatoes, tomato paste and canned tomatoes. Keep the pestata, zucchini and the trick of pre-cooking the diced eggplant in the microwave to dry them out and give them a head start.
We ended up with a flavorful summer side dish, sort of a zippy and shorter version of ratatouille. It's definitely versatile. You could toss it with pasta for a vegetarian summer supper, or add some broth and turn it into a simple soup with bread on the side.
And more of those summer vegetables will find a home.
Short-Cut Ratatouille
Adapted (very adapted) from the May/June 2012 issue of Cook's Illustrated.
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Eggplants (I used about 4 of the long, skinny ones; aim for enough to have 2 cups of peeled, diced eggplant)
About 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Cooking spray
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large tomato, cored and diced, or several plum tomatoes, diced
Combine the basil, oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Pulse to chop it all. With motor running, drizzle in the olive oil to make a juicy sauce. Set aside.
Peel the eggplant and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with the salt. Spread a couple of coffee filters on a plate and spread the eggplant on the plate. Spritz with cooking spray and microwave for 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes. You want to soften the eggplant and let it start cooking.
Heat the 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add the eggplant and the onion and saute, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue cooking, stirring often, about 5 or 6 minutes, until everything is softening up. Stir in the tomato and cook another minute or two.
Stir in the pestata and saute quickly to finish, mixing everything together. Taste and add a little more salt if needed.
Makes about 4 servings.

This sounds great... I am a little late to the party on this note, but I was recently trying to figure out what to do with some eggplant , zuchinni, and summer squash I needed to use before they went bad. I peeled, sliced , salted, drained then oven roasted the eggplant, sliced and roasted the squashes and also sliced red bell pepper and sweet onion to use as a base for a veggie lasagna, using canned crushed tomatoes seasoned with fresh basil and garlic for the sauce. I call it ratatouille lasagna. I froze it and sent it to the beach with my sister, aunt, cousin and her family. It was a big hit.

Ex-Texas officer appeals in teen beating case
A former Houston police officer convicted in the videotaped beating of a 15-year-old burglary suspect during a daylight arrest is seeking a new trial, citing juror misconduct.
Attorneys for Drew Ryser said in a court motion filed Wednesday that the jury foreman researched the case online outside the courtroom, looking up the word "mistreatment" and sharing the search results with fellow jurors, contrary to instructions from the judge, the Houston Chronicle reported ( https://bit.ly/12jxTL3 ).
Special prosecutor Tommy LaFon said the issue will be reviewed.
"It's something that we need to look at and ascertain exactly what's going on," LaFon said.
Jurors convicted Ryser last month of misdemeanor official oppression in the March 2010 beating of Chad Holley. Ryser was sentenced to two years of probation.
Lisa Andrews, one of Ryser's attorneys, said jury foreman Jan Goehring did the online research after a day of deliberations, then brought his findings to the six-person panel the next day. The jury reached its verdict that day after 10 hours of deliberations.
"Bringing something into the jury room that didn't come from the evidence or testimony is called `outside influence' and the law is clear," she said. "Drew Ryser deserves a new trial because the jury foreman did his own research."
Jurors are allowed to consider only evidence the trial judge has allowed.
The motion also said the jury foreman told the other jurors that a "friend" told him not to worry about Ryser because "he has a job and has moved on with his life."
The motion includes affidavits from two jurors swearing that Goehring brought in outside information. One juror said it influenced her decision to convict the officer.
No telephone listing for Goehring was available and he could not be reached Thursday for comment.
The judge at the trial, Ruben Guerrero, repeatedly advised jurors to not do any personal research or talk to others about the case.
"This juror clearly violated the judge's orders," Andrews said. "And he appeared to know more about the case than the other jurors."
Two other Houston officers received probation after pleading no contest in April to misdemeanors related to the March 23, 2010, beating caught on video. A fourth officer was acquitted.
Holley was convicted of burglary and sentenced to probation, then last year was arrested on another burglary charge and sentenced in April to six months in jail.

From Rookie of the Year to the Hall of FameI've always wondered how many Rookies of the Year end up having Hall of Fame careers. The answer is that 19 of the 43 NBA or ABA Rookies of the Year from between 1953 and 1984 are Hall of Famers. Why the 1984 cutoff? Simple. Most of the Rookies of the Year who came into the NBA after that year are either still active or have not been retired long enough to be eligible for Hall of Fame induction. Larry Bird is the only Rookie of the Year from the 1980s who has made it to the Hall of Fame so far. I examined the subject of Rookies of the Year and the Hall of Fame in my most recent NBCSports.com article, which can be found here:

The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a design technique for fractional PID controllers to achieve a closed loop sensitivity bandwidth approximately equal to a desired bandwidth using frequency loop shaping techniques. This dissertation analyzes the effect of the order of a fractional integrator which is used as a target on loop shaping, on stability and performance robustness. A comparison between classical PID controllers and fractional PID controllers is presented. Case studies where fractional PID controllers have an advantage over classical PID controllers are discussed. A frequency-domain loop shaping algorithm is developed, extending past results from classical PID's that …

No. 8 Beavers don't stumble with QB Cody Vaz
Moments after Cody Vaz's first-ever drive as starting quarterback for Oregon State, the Internet was humming.
''VAZzle-Dazzle,'' ''VAZ-tacular'' and ''VAZ-matazz'' were among the nicknames that were bandied about. ''Cody Vaz'' was trending on Twitter.
Vaz, making his first start since high school, threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns in No. 8 Oregon State's 42-24 victory over BYU on Saturday. He completed 20 of 32 passes.
The 6-foot-1 junior, who took over for injured quarterback Sean Mannion, was named a Pac-12 player of the week on Monday.
''I don't think anybody in our locker room was particularly surprised Cody played well,'' coach Mike Riley said. ''I think they've had faith in him as a teammate for a long time.''
In addition to a cool 59-yard completion to Brandin Cooks, and another steady 29-yarder to tight end Connor Hamlett, Vaz made a block on a BYU defensive lineman that paved the way for Markus Wheaton to score on a 12-yard fourth-quarter reverse that bumped Oregon State's lead to 11 points.
Vaz was a pro throughout the game, and even gave the rest of the team a pep talk to start the fourth quarter.
''I just said `The fourth quarter's our quarter,' ... I just wanted to get everybody pumped up a little bit,'' Vaz said.
Now there's talk of ''Beavers BelieVAZ'' T-shirts.
Before Saturday's start, Vaz had appeared in only five games for the Beavers, completing six of 17 passes for 48 yards. He had not played in a live game since 2010.
The victory over BYU moved the Beavers to 5-0 to open the season, their best start since 1939. Vaz's performance was just the latest surprise in an unexpected season for Oregon State, which went just 3-9 last year.
Mannion's injury was also a surprise, even to Riley. The 6-foot-5 sophomore was hurt on a handoff in the Beavers' 19-6 victory over Washington State the week before, but he never left the game and finished with 270 yards passing and a touchdown.
Two days later, the Beavers got word Mannion would need surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee. He had surgery last week and is out indefinitely, although he could return before the end of the regular season.
Mannion was averaging 339.5 yards passing a game, then second in the Pac-12 and sixth in the nation. He has thrown for 1,358 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions this season. He is sixth on Oregon State's career list with 4,686 yards.
Last season as a redshirt freshman, Mannion unseated junior starter Ryan Katz, who had started the 2010 season for the Beavers. Katz has since transferred to San Diego State - making Vaz the backup this season.
Vaz grew up in Lodi, Calif., and played at St. Mary's High School, where he was 24-5 in two seasons as the starter. He was the Stockton Record's player of the year his senior season.
But he had played a supporting role until last Saturday. The Beavers, who are 3-0 in Pac-12 play, host Utah this Saturday night at Reser Stadium.
''It's just a great sign of a guy staying ready over a long period of time and it's part of the identity of our football team,'' Riley said. ''Guys are getting ready to play and when called upon they go in and do the job.''

Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond sidestepped Bath's claims for a penalty try after his side conceded six penalties in the same sequence of 10 scrums - and came away with a precious 12-11 victory at the Recreation Ground.
Sale's match-winner was fly-half Danny Cipriani, who scored four penalties from four attempts to outshine Bath's George Ford, with England's newest cap missing three of his five place-kicks including the crucial conversion of Ross Batty's 75th minute try.
"If you've got that much ball in that situation the onus is on the attacking side to do something with it," said Diamond.
"All we can do is defend as best we can.
"I think Henry (Thomas) was unlucky to get a yellow card - it was just a slip. I don't think the scrums went back. On another day with another referee, you never know - but it didn't happen, did it?"
Cipriani had been ill all week and missed training but insisted on playing, according to Diamond, whose side overcame other troubles even before kick-off.
"We had a 10-hour journey down yesterday on the M6 and then we had our two senior players - Mark Cueto and Dan Braid - cry off in the team run, so we had our backs against the wall," Diamond said.
"As we've proved time and time again, we fought like dogs and got the result."
For all the controversy of the second-half scrums, Sale were in control for much of the match.
Diamond added: "Danny Cipriani and Dwayne Peel are good players. Our defence has been good all year. We managed to control their midfield, who run everything, but they ran into a white wall.
"We managed to get the spoils from either turnovers or penalties and edged our way in front."
Bath head coach Mike Ford cut a frustrated figure after the match.
He said: "We are hurting inside. I am frustrated beyond belief. But look, we've got to move on and prepare to meet Brive next week.
"The scrum-fest in the corner, I don't know how many minutes that took out of the game. Fifteen? With seven penalties on the run, the referee has just got to change behaviours. He sent one guy to the bin but I don't know how he didn't go under the sticks.
"He said he couldn't give a penalty try unless they were going backwards but how can the scrum go backwards if they keep collapsing it?"
Ford did not overlook his own side's shortcomings, however, adding: "Having said all that, for us to move forward, we've got to be able to deal with those sort of tactics. If Saracens were playing tonight, you'd think they'd have dealt with it better than we did.
"At half-time I said we just had to lift the tempo a bit, get some speed into our game and work a little harder. In the first half there was a lot of space that we didn't exploit.
"I think if we could have got one point in front on the scoreboard, then it might have forced them to play a bit. They had to just defend a lead. We missed the conversion and a couple of drop goals at the end.
"But there are different pressures on this team now. People are expecting us to beat Sale at home and stay there as a top three contender. We have to deal with that."

Refreshing Changes....
Well if you're tired of the hazy, hot, and humid conditions your forecast is about to change! Say hello to the blue sky because a substantial cold front is set to arrive by Thursday night, and that's going to help clean out the atmosphere!
Unfortunately, the moisture won't be widespread, so only a 20% to 30% chance for showers and storms are expected by Thursday afternoon and evening.
The big change will come Friday into the weekend. Take a look at the 850 mb temperatures aloft from the 0Z NAM. A northeast flow behind the front will drop the 850's to around a 10 C along with the humidity! That's amazing for this time of the year.
Lows over the weekend will drop into the 50s and 60s with highs in the low to middle 80s for Saturday! In fact if the 850's continue to cool there's a chance that northern areas stay in the upper 70s. What a perfect day for the Razorback home game!

Albany, New York - In 1808, when New York Governor DeWitt Clinton proposed building a canal from the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, he might as well have suggested flying to the moon. Many called the project "Clinton's Folly," believing the fledgling nation lacked the resources and expertise to cut through the 360 miles of swamps, rocky cliffs, forested wilderness and 568 feet of elevation change between the Hudson River and Lake Erie.
In fact, "Clinton's Big Ditch" was the Space program of its day, spurring inventions and paying for itself in just ten years. Plus, by creating a super highway to the west, the Erie Canal cemented New York City's role as the prime seaport for goods from the Midwest and Great Plains. The canals were progressively upgraded to meet growing demand and three offshoot canals were incorporated--the Champlain, Oswego and Cayuga-Seneca--further enhancing New York's commercial strength.
These days, hikers, bicyclists and Rollerbladers follow the canal side paths once trudged by barge-towing mules and men, while kayaks, canoes, historic canal boats, fishing skiffs and other pleasure craft ply the waters, happily passing through the locks. Along the way, quaint villages entice visitors to enjoy an ice cream cone, a homemade meal, or tastings of regional wines and to stay in bed & breakfast inns and resorts. And it's hard not to be drawn into the canal side festivals, historic sites, museums and living history attractions that celebrate the region's rich past. Here are some highlights of what to see and do along the canals:
Hitting the trail from Buffalo to Newark
Sure, almost no one walks the full hundred mile footpath between Tonawanda, just outside Buffalo, to Newark, but it's nice to know it's all there. This westernmost segment of the Erie Canal is the longest continuous section of the Canalway Trail, and whether biking, boating or traveling by car, it's fun to explore the nostalgic small town Main Streets, farmlands, lift bridges and multi-tier locks. And as an added attraction, Niagara Falls is just a ten minute drive from Buffalo.
In Lockport, the triumph of building the canal is apparent. The town is built around two impressive five-lock staircases built to move boats up the steep Niagara escarpment, and an excellent Lockport Cave and Underground Boat tour travels through five flights of locks and includes a walk through a tunnel blasted through solid rock.
Another worthwhile stop is Medina, with its Railroad Museum, a beautiful wooden freight depot filled with memorabilia and model trains, where visitors can take a train ride along the Canal. And in Brockport, the restored Italianate Morgan-Manning House reveals the lifestyle of a wealthy 19th century resident.
Nearby, Rochester offers a big city break with sophisticated attractions such as the Rochester Museum and Science Center, with its hands-on Erie Canal model and exhibits on the Underground Railroad, as well as a nostalgic toy museum and Susan B. Anthony's House and the courthouse where she was tried for voting.
And for those who want to know more about Mitt Romney's religion, a stop in Palmyra is a must. It was here that the Morman Church got its start. The Joseph Smith Farm and other Mormon sites are a mecca for Mormons, and at most places, everyone is welcome.
Connecting to the Finger Lakes
Just beyond Palmyra, at the historic town of Montezuma, the Cayuga-Seneca Canal shoots off to connect the Erie Canal with 92 miles of rivers and lakes, including the Seneca River and two of the Finger Lakes--Cayuga and Seneca.
The canal-connected waterways and trails provide a relaxed-paced way to explore this sophisticated, rural region, acclaimed for its fine wines, artisanal food, historic inns and natural beauty.
A visit to the Seneca River Crossing Canals Historic District in Montezuma and Tyre helps visitors visualize the engineering feats and improvements the canals underwent. The 70-acre site encompasses intact portions of the original and enlarged canals as well as the Richmond Aqueduct, with its massive Roman-style arches.
At nearby Seneca Falls, the Women's Rights National Historical Park, which includes the homes of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Wesleyan Chapel, site of the movement's first convention, honors the town's central role in the women's movement.
Those looking for narrated boat tours or charters will find plenty of choices in nearby Geneva, while at the southern end of Lake Geneva, Watkins Glen is known for auto racing, plentiful accommodations and its popular pier and park, the site of summer concerts. Not to be missed is Watkins Glen State Park, with hiking trails that lead through a waterfall-studded gorge.
Spanning the lands between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, the Finger Lakes National Forest has more than 30 miles of trails winding through gorges, ravines, pastures and woodlands. And at the tip of Cayuga Lake is Ithaca, with two stunning waterfall parks, Buttermilk Falls State Park and Robert H. Treman State Park, as well as Cornell University. With so many natural and manmade attractions, it's no wonder so many travelers feel a connection to this region.
Exploring the original Erie Canal in Central New York
When Central New York's original Erie Canal became too narrow for the big barges of the early 1900s, traffic was rerouted through rivers and lakes just north of the original route. Nevertheless, towns such as Port Byron, Weedsport, Camillus, Syracuse, DeWitt, Chittenango, Canastota and Oneida that were bypassed by the new route, maintain and showcase their Canal heritage, making the area ideal for those who want to combine outdoor fun with living history.
The 36-mile Old Erie Canal State Park Trail, which runs from DeWitt to Rome, connects the original route by land and water, cutting a scenic pathway through the surrounding woodlands and wetlands for walking, bicycling and horseback riding as well for canoeing and fishing.
Fascinating interpretative museums bring the region's role in history to life. In Camillus, Sims Museum is a replica of an 1856 canal side store. From here, the trail passes a nine-mile aqueduct and a replica lock tender's shanty en route to the town of Chittenango, where the sight of a 96-foot cargo boat under reconstruction at the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum puts the scale of the canal's traffic in perspective. In nearby Canastota, home to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the Canastota Canal Town Museum brings the history, folklore and engineering achievements of the canal into focus with artwork, artifacts and activities.
Farther east, on the site where the first shovelful of earth kicked off the mammoth canal construction project, the Erie Canal Village in Rome presents a reconstructed 19th century town complete with a tavern, schoolhouse, blacksmith, and the chance to ride a mule drawn packet boat along the canal. Syracuse, whose Erie Canal Museum is housed in America's only remaining weighlock building, is also the region's hub for narrated sightseeing tours as well as canal boat charters while Verona Beach is action central for beaches, boat launches and water sports on Oneida Lake, the largest inland lake in the state.
Stretching to the Seaway
While the Oswego River Canal is the shortest segment, it provides a necessary connection between the Erie Canal and Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Oswego has been an important port since the 1700s. At Fort Ontario State Historic Park, costumed guides tell tales about its strategic roles in history and fans of the "Madeline" stories will enjoy learning about author Ludwig Bemelmans' time at the fort.
In addition to its rich array of historic sites, Oswego is a center for water sports, boating, fishing and hiking, and its annual four-day Harborfest draws more than 150,000 visitors every year.
The 23.7 mile waterway also passes through some of the most remote areas of the state. Several conservation areas preserve the pristine environment while encouraging recreation. Birders are especially drawn to the 45-acre hiker-friendly Curtiss-Gale Wildlife Management Area's towering old-growth trees, which harbor a variety of songbirds as well as red-tail Hawks, Osprey and Bald Eagle, and Three Rivers Bird Conservation Area in Lysander, whose 3,615 acres of grassland, shrub land, wetland and forest habitats attract many at-risk species including Henslow's, grasshopper and vesper sparrows and Cooper's hawks. Nearby, hiking and mountain-biking trails wind through the 236-acre Great Bear Springs Recreation Area, and golfers can enjoy stunning river views the 18-hole course at Battle Island State Park.
Driving and Cycling the Mohawk Valley
Even those who yawned their way through history classes will enjoy learning about the important role the Mohawk Valley played in opening up the American West at the region's many captivating historic restorations and sites. And have no fear: the region also offers plenty of opportunities for boating, biking, hiking and other outdoor fun.
Helping visitors navigate the region is the Mohawk Towpath Byway, a well-marked series of local, country and state roads that follow the historic route of the Erie Canal between Utica and Waterford/Cohoes Falls where it joins the Hudson River. Today, the small canal towns and cities of the region nestle into idyllic farmlands and pristine Adirondack foothills.
While Utica was built by the canal, one of the most popular visitor activities is the scenic train ride into the Adirondack wilderness. Back in town, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute displays an excellent collection of Hudson River School paintings and Saranac Brewery Tours end with a sampling of beer or root-beer.
Just to the east, the village of Herkimer provide a glimpse into the region's evolution. The native people were known as "the people of the crystal" and tourists today can prospect for shiny quartz "Herkimer diamonds" at several local mines. For a picture of 18th century life, visit the restored Georgian-style home of Revolutionary War general Nicholas Herkimer. And at Historic Four Corners, four 19th century buildings illustrate post-canal village life: there's a Victorian mansion, a church, a courthouse and a jail.
In nearby Canajoharie, the Arkel Museum offers a wonderful collection of American art, including works by Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Maurice Prendergast, and Georgia O'Keeffe, while in Fort Hunter, the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is the only place to see parts of all three stages of the canal's expansion.
Schenectady offers insight into life on an 18th century Dutch farm at the Mabee Farm Historic Site and at the Schenectady Museum, visitors can marvel at the ingenuity of hometown General Electric's early televisions and appliances. Historic districts and sites also beckon in the state capital, Albany, including the 1761 mansion of noted Revolutionary War General Philip Schuyler.
Heading north through the rolling hills and farmland from Waterford to Whitehall, the Champlain Canal connects the Erie Canal to Lake Champlain. This area's key role during the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars becomes apparent at the Rogers Island Visitor Center in Fort Edward.
Nearby, Saratoga National Historic Park in Stillwater focuses on the Revolutionary War, while the Old Fort House Museum complex takes visitors back to the 19th century with a one-room school house, an 1840 Tollhouse, and five other historic buildings. And in Whitehall, the Skenesborough Museum features a sound and light show describing the settlement of the town and exhibits with artifacts that take visitors from the Revolutionary war through the building of the canal and the age of the railroad.
Throughout New York State, canals are generally open to boat traffic from May 1 through November 15, as canal side towns roll out the red carpet for visitors with an array of festivals, concerts and other special events and everyone enjoys "Clintons Big Ditch."

Glass says franchise at strong point of his tenure
Club president sits down with MLB.com to address the state of the team
Dan Glass is entering his 15th season as president of the Kansas City Royals. He began in 1993 as a baseball operations assistant and eventually worked in scouting and player development, taking special interest in the Latin American program. Glass discussed his outlook for the Royals, his relationship with general manager Dayton Moore and other issues with MLB.com's Dick Kaegel.
MLB.com: How optimistic are you about the Royals' postseason chances in 2014?
Glass: I am very optimistic, and, in fact, there's a lot of high expectation with the club this year based on the way we played in the second half and the additions that Dayton and his staff have made through the winter. It appeared to me that somewhere along the second half of last season that the team really clicked. Maybe it's a maturity or a belief that we can win every day but something happened with these guys. My hope is the second half will carry on into this year.
MLB.com: How do you feel about the team's offseason moves, notably Norichika Aoki, Omar Infante, Jason Vargas and Bruce Chen?
Glass: I think those are all good additions that really shored up the needs that we had, particularly from the offensive side. Setting up the order now where you have guys at the top that are table-setters, the guys at the bottom are table-setters, and hopefully, those kids in the middle can be run-producers. And also the defense is improved. Arguably one of the best defensive teams in the American League, or in baseball, got better with the addition of Infante and Aoki.
MLB.com: The current payroll is pegged at about $90 million, a franchise record and your GM, Dayton Moore, was quoted as saying that's beyond the break-even point. Have you reached a spending limit for this year?
Glass: We're pushing it a little bit, yes we are pushing it. I think most clubs try to live within their means, and the way it's always been is you try to break even with the club and any additional revenue that you get, you put into the club -- you invest in the team usually. A lot of it is an indication of teams' local revenue, especially teams that have big broadcasting deals that are kicking in or whatever. But it's a testament really to central baseball and the job the Commissioner's Office has done in growing the revenues -- Tim Brosnan and Bob Bowman and Tony Petitti on the business side of things have done an outstanding job of growing the revenues and getting more revenue to the teams.
MLB.com: Your family has been deeply involved with the Royals since Mr. Kauffman's passing in 1993, and you acquired ownership in 2000. Are you satisfied with the ways things have progressed overall?
Glass: Yes, as of now I am. No doubt that since Dayton came on board, maybe it took longer than what we all anticipated, and Dayton may tell you that as well. But the main goal when he came in was to invest in the farm system, scouting and player development. We had to have the best player development people and develop our own talent. That's the way that teams in our situation, revenue-wise, have to do it. And so in our current team, many of the core players are the ones that our scouts drafted and developed, and they're really the heart and soul of the club. Then, if you look at our pipeline again, it's almost as if he turned it over twice -- the run where we were the top-ranked organization by Baseball America and now where we're like No. 5 or 6 again. There's a new wave that's going to come behind this. So he and his staff have really done it twice.
MLB.com: David Glass is the team's chairman and your father; is there a strict division of duties among you two, or do you collaborate on most team issues?
Glass: We collaborate on everything. He calls up on a daily basis, he calls up all of us for that matter -- either myself or Dayton or Kevin [Uhlich] on the business side if he has any questions at all. But he's in direct contact with what we're doing on an everyday basis, and we'll lean on him when we need him. He's really involved with the bigger-picture issues with the industry and Major League Baseball. He really enjoys that side of it, and I think they enjoy having him in that role. He has a lot of passion for it.
MLB.com: Dayton Moore has been your GM since 2006, and his contract has been extended through 2016. What are the attributes that you admire most in him?
Glass: He's probably the most hard-working, honest individual I've ever worked with. He's a family man -- they're just genuine people, he's a genuine guy. He has a work ethic, though, that he's not going to quit until he gets this right. And that's what you want in people you hire. In my role, you want to hire people that are better than I am at things. And he has that same attribute -- he hires people underneath him that are good at what they do in certain areas, and he listens to them and ultimately makes the right decision based on the information that he has. Just a man of outstanding character, I can't say enough about him. The more I work around him, the more I respect him and the more he just kind of feels like family when I'm around him. We think alike.
MLB.com: You, personally, always have been very forceful in the development of Latin American players, notably through the Dominican Academy. How important is the international aspect of player development to the Royals?
Glass: It's very important. In fact, that is one area where seemingly we're all on an equal playing field, competing for talent among the teams. But it's just a love that they [Latino players] share for the game that I share. I have the same love for the game they have. You go down into these countries and they play the game the way I played it when I was a kid. You had a lot of passion for it, you played it every day, you played it until you were tired -- but you just couldn't get enough of it. And the Latin kids today are no different than they were back when I was heavily involved with the Dominican program. With Rene Francisco and others, we have a very talented staff of evaluators that are able to identify good kids that share those same attributes.
MLB.com: Do you feel the Royals and other middle and small-market clubs can ever achieve parity with the big-market clubs like the Yankees or Dodgers?
Glass: Well, I used to think so. I think it's a lot harder now with the broadcasting deals and the broadcasting revenues locally becoming what they are. But it still doesn't mean that we can't do it. It all gets back to the scouts and the player development people -- they're sort of the unsung heroes in all this because they're the ones that identify the talent, they're the ones that develop the talent. So, much like Tampa Bay and Oakland and others have done, it can be done. Just because you have the most money to spend, it doesn't mean that you're always going to win. We just have to be more careful in our selections, I guess.
MLB.com: Is the Royals franchise now as strong as it's ever been during your tenure?
Glass: I think so. Financially, it's on solid footing -- baseball side, business side, with quality people on both sides. Yes, I'd say so.
MLB.com: Do you feel that the Kansas City fans are connecting with this team you have now?
Glass: That's the sense I got at FanFest. It's just a great group of guys. I think it goes back to Dayton and his staff. They like guys with good character, and the thing they did on stage in front of the audience was really fun. The one with James Shields as the emcee -- you don't get better than that when a player can bring out the personality in guys. During the season, we talk about it every night at games. You look out into the stands, you might see every player represented on a kid's T-shirt or an adult's T-shirt. Fans really relate to this team. It's a fun team to watch.
MLB.com: How important was holding the 2012 All-Star Game for the Kansas City franchise?
Glass: It was big. It had a major impact locally, obviously, with the economic impact that it brings. But nationally was where it really shined. Still today, I get letters from fans that came to the game and enjoyed themselves and actually have come back when their team has been in town because they enjoyed coming to the ballpark and the setting, but also the city. It made a big difference in showing the world basically what Kansas City has here.
MLB.com: You and your father have great respect for Commissioner Selig, don't you?
Glass: We do. I think everybody does. It's a tough job that he has, and it would be hard for some people to maneuver the different egos within ownership and the other issues he's had to deal with during his time. But he's been able to do it in a very graceful way. When he leaves, he will have left the game in a much better place than when he took over. He will be hard to replace.
MLB.com: By taking over the Royals, your family probably saved the franchise for Kansas City yet over the years you -- and primarily David Glass as the CEO -- have come under harsh criticism from fans. Isn't that difficult to understand at times?
Glass: Not really. I think a lot of it is just reaction to losing. But I hope they understand that we feel as bad about it as they do. Somebody's got to take the blame, and it all starts at the top. Hopefully we can turn all that around, and our winning ways will continue.
MLB.com: Do you see your ownership going far into the future?
Glass: Quite possibly, quite possibly. I think if for some reason there was a better ownership group that we felt like would be better for Kansas City than us and would agree to contractually keep the team here in Kansas City for a long time, then we'd have to consider that I think. But right now, I would say yes.

Commitment to Triad Trumps Commitment to Nuclear Zero
On 10.03.11 10:30 AM posted by Michaela Bendikova
The Obama Administrations commitment to maintain the U.S. strategic triad appears to be fading, writes Mark Schneider, former special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense during the New Strategic Arms Control Treaty (New START) negotiations.
Indeed, experts at The Heritage Foundation have been pointing out problems with the Administrations commitment since it announced its plans to sustain the U.S. nuclear weapons complex. Unfortunately, it seems that the White Houses commitment will not survive the first year after the treaty entered into force.
During the New START debate, the Obama Administration promised to increase funding for the U.S. nuclear weapons complex. But its modernization plans have been constrained by its policy of no new nuclear weapons, no new military missions for them, and no new capabilities, as well as the Presidents priority to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
In addition, the Obama Administration has announced yet another round of sweeping defense budget cuts, which are likely to translate to fewer resources for the U.S. nuclear weapons complex.
The first glimpse of the direction that the Administrations modernization plan is heading was given earlier this year when the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development Subcommittee cut $500 million from the Presidents $7.1 billion budget request for nuclear weapon activities. The Senate counterpart has cut $440 million. The Administration has made very little effort to prevent these cuts.
Despite its earlier claims of support for nuclear modernization, the Administration is now considering further unilateral nuclear cuts and eliminating a leg of the nuclear triad, which is comprised of intercontinental-range ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and heavy bombers. This might adversely affect the nonproliferation regime, as the United States is the only nuclear state that does not modernize its nuclear weapons but guarantees nuclear security to more than 30 nations all over the world.
Each leg of the triad is indispensable to assuring U.S. allies and deterring U.S. enemies. Without these assurances, allies would seek to develop their own capabilities. The Administration should realize that its commitment to nuclear weapons is more important than its unrealistic commitment to nuclear zero.

Hi All,
I am trying to extend the Zimbra authentication to incorporate our custom Authentication Logic. To do so I was able to successfully create a server extension by extending the ZimbraCustomAuth class. I placed the jar in /lib/ext<my extension> folder, and it was called and executed just fine. Now, for my custom logic, the original client IP address is of utmost importance. From what I could gather, the authenticate method in this class has a "context" object:
public void authenticate(Account acct, String password, Map<String, Object> context, List<String> args) throws Exception
Within this context object there is a value for "Original client IP address", which can be retrieved as:
Now, this works fine for POP and IMAP. I get the calling clients IP address in ocip field. The trouble is with SMTP and SOAP. In case of SOAP, the ocip value is always the Zimbra's server's local IP and in case of smtp it is null.
Could someone please explain why this is so? Is it by design? Is it a bug? Has someone else faced this issue?
The IP is very critical for my implementation so if someone could suggest a way of extracting the correct originating IP in custom authentication, it would be hugely appreciated.

Riesling Report: Selbach-Oster 2009 Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken
July is riesling month! We're drinking it all month long...and maybe longer. Got a favorite riesling? Recommend it in the comments!
A month (or a summer) of riesling is a beautiful thing—there are wines made from this grape to satisfy almost any craving...piercing and eye-opening, rich and heady, all rocks, or all fruit. But as much as I love the diversity of bottles we've been trying, this Mosel wine is one I could stock up on. This is a wine I could stick with and be truly happy.
Zingy and glistening, this silky golden wine has a little more stuffing than the rest, balancing fragrant nectarine notes with a lightly buzzy acidity (lemons squeezed on honeydew, soccer-game orange segments) and lots of green herbs (sprigs of thyme and fennel, eucalyptus.) The lemon-drop and spearmint finish doesn't go away, leaving your mouth tingling. It encourages lip smacking. It encourages refilling the glass.
Serve it with roasted root vegetables or shrimp and crabmeat with herbs and cream, saffron perhaps. Experiment with creamy, even earthy cheeses. To be honest, you may empty the bottle before the food is served.
Around $19, sample provided for review.

I got this small collection of shelled peas from an 8 foot row. And this was a good year with an early spring.
It turned out that I planted a bush variety pea, so they didn't need to grow on the tree house trellis where I planted them. Either peas just don't grow well in my yard, or people who can peas must be planting literally hundreds and hundreds of feet of them.
Do you freeze or can peas from your garden?

Couple challenges Ohio law denying gay marriage benefits
Men married in Maryland claim law unconstitutional
Two Ohio men have filed a federal lawsuit alleging Ohio violates the U.S Constitution by denying legal recognition to same-sex couples married in states where gay marriage is legal.
James Obergefell and John Arthur of Cincinnati filed the lawsuit Friday in Cincinnati against Ohio's governor, attorney general and the Cincinnati health department registrar who files death certificates.
The lawsuit says the men married in Maryland, which recognizes gay marriages. They want the court to rule Ohio's law and constitution violate their rights including equal protection. They want Arthur's eventual death certificate to show his status as married.
Gov. John Kasich's spokesman declined comment on pending litigation except to say Kasich believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
Messages left for the other defendants weren't returned.

A computer is only as fast as its slowest component, and the disk is by far
the slowest part of your computer. It is at least 100,000 times slower
than your RAM (Random Access Memory) and over 2 million times slower than your CPU.
When it comes to the speed of your PC, focus on disk performance first, before you
opt for more memory or a faster CPU.
So what can be done to improve disk performance? Since fragmentation – the scattering
or fragmenting of files on your hard drive from continually writing, deleting and
resizing them – is a major cause of disk performance degradation, start with disk
So what causes fragmentation and why is it hurting my hard disk performance?
By the very nature of the way the Windows® operating system stores
data on the hard disk – by breaking files into pieces all around the disk in tens,
hundreds, even thousands of pieces per file – your PC naturally accumulates fragmentation.
Since fragmentation is the primary cause of poor disk performance, anything that
can be done to eliminate fragmentation is going to increase disk performance.
One of the primary reasons fragmentation hurts disk performance is because your
hard drive head has to go and retrieve each and every piece of a fragmented file
before you can access it. This excessive and unnecessary disk activity causes
slow PC performance.
There are essentially two ways to address fragmentation. You can wait until it happens,
then use defrag (the act of putting fragmented files back together), or you can
prevent the fragmentation before it ever has a chance to slow down your disk performance.

The first defragmentation solution is a reactive approach to fragmentation and provides
a temporary solution to an on-going problem. Just because you defrag your PC, doesn't
mean the problem has been solved. The minute you finish running your defrag, your
PC will once again start accumulating increasingly more fragmentation with each
and every use, so you feel like you are fighting a losing battle.
It also means that your PC is wasting resources by first writing fragmented files
to your hard drive, and then requiring the defrag engine (built-in or other defrag
only solution) to go to work locating and consolidating your files so that they
that they are contiguous. This reactive, after-the-fact approach to fragmentation
still leaves you vulnerable to an unreliable and slow performing PC.
The second solution, fragmentation prevention, is proactive, providing a more complete
solution that keeps your disk performing at optimum speeds at all times.
Diskeeper combines the best of both
worlds by automatically handling any fragmentation that is already hurting your
disk performance, and combining that with IntelliWrite® fragmentation
prevention technology to stop future fragmentation before it happens. As a result, Diskeeper keeps your PC running better than new.
When your files are written to the disk contiguously (without fragmentation) rather
than scattered across your disk, your PC doesn't have to work as hard to read or
write your files. Plus as an added bonus, the reduction in disk activity actually
extends the life of your hard drive by an additional 1-3 years - saving you money
in replacement costs.

"Family Remains"
ATTENTION: The following review contains spoilers in the manner that I tell you everything that happens. Anyone who hasn't seen last night's episode yet and doesn't want to know all the good stuff, please stop reading! :)
When Kripke conceived Supernatural and they first started working on the show, they intended it to be "a horror movie every week." In the last couple of seasons, there's been a bit of a departure from that.
Until last night. "Family Remains" returned to the horror movie format, in all ways.
Creep Factor Dialed to 11
First we have the old guy watching TV. Lights go out, door creeps open, standard freaky-looking female with messy hair and tattered clothes approaches. Camera pans to a cross-stitch on the wall, the "home sweet home"-style message splattering with blood.
Then we have the Impala. Moment of joy, right? Except it's sitting in the middle of nowhere, in front of a gate (blocking what?), surrounded by bramble and fog and dark. Dead silence. Dean sits in the front seat, perusing a newspaper. It feels like a million other tense moments, the kind just before something attacks and makes us jump. This sets the tone for the entire episode, which is full of such moments:
*The ball rolling out of the closet (reminiscent of the ball coming down the stairs in the 1980 George C. Scott film The Changeling--scariest movie I've ever seen in my life).
*The dog disappearing.
*The girl stepping over the salt.
*Dean and Ted sneaking through the walls.
While I don't consider this episode the best of the season overall, it gets the "Creepiest" label without a fight.
Bringing the Funny
We all love Supernatural's one-liners, right? Again, this episode isn't full of them, but it gives us a few gems:
Dean, going down a hole into a dark sub-basement, after the murderous chick: "Please no one grab my leg. Please no one grab my leg."
Dean to Sam, who just said old houses all had dumbwaiters: "Know-it-all."
Sam: "What?"
Dean: "What."
Sam: "You just said--" *shakes his head, walks away*
Dean: *smirks*
Dean, shouting, upon finding the Impala's tires flat: "What kind of a ghost messes with a guy's WHEELS?"
Horror Movie 101
"Family Remains" had a lot of the tropes of old-school horror movies. A nice family looking for a change moves into a big old house surrounded by open land, not knowing there was a murder there. And, it turns out, not just a murder. A suicide, as well, by the daughter of the guy who was murdered in scene one. The ghost connects with the young son, the most vulnerable family member. Mysterious words appear on the walls. The family dog disappears when no one is looking (and we get some gore with that, too, though the limitations of prime-time TV keep that minimal). Dean turns and jumps, we jump with him, as he comes face to face with...something gross, but not threatening. Which primes us for a short time later when the expendable guy turns and comes face to face with...the creepy killer, and we learn why the sarcastic uncle is helping his sister's family move. Did I say he was expendable?
Twisting it Up, and Leaving it Open
While this episode can be labeled "Classic" as it goes into the Supernatural archives, it's not as neatly wrapped as such things usually are. I say that's okay.
First, we have the twists. We've had lots of ghost episodes. We've explored the complexity of "evil" versus "supernatural," and we've even done the "Dude. They're just people!" thing. (Ref. "The Benders," episode 1.15) But they trick us here. They give us the ghost things:
*flickering lights (but they actually go out)
*inexplicably locked doors
*a female ghost that mimics (or mocks?) the recent trend of dark-haired, sloppy, sunken-eyed horror movie monsters
*things happening so fast a human couldn't possibly do them (emptying the trunk of the Impala, slicing the tires, killing the dog)
But then the ghost doesn't flicker in that horrible way. It doesn't skip across the floor as it approaches Dean and the family safe in the salt circle. It approaches slowly. And it crosses the salt. The iron poker doesn't dissipate her. Dean fights her off, and declares her human.
If you were like me, you were skeptical. I mean, in "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" (episode 2.4), we had a solid, strong, fast-moving zombie. Why couldn't she be that? But no, they held on to the human thing, and that always changes our heroes' position. Stopping supernatural evil is easy. Stopping evil humans is a whole 'nother mess. But they have to save the family, right?
The other twist comes to light when Dean rescues the young boy, Danny, who's been dragged down to the girl's hidey-hole. Danny yells that the BROTHER is coming back! Oooh, that explains a lot! When they killed the lights (and then the man who appears to be their father/grandfather EW!), the door wasn't inexplicably locked--the brother was holding it closed. The chick wasn't flitting around with the boys' weapons. She was distracting them inside while brother dear stole the stuff and slashed the tires. It's all explained now.
Well, not everything. We don't always get neat answers. Sam found a diary in the attic that tells us the man impregnated his daughter and told her he was going to lock up the baby away from her. So she killed herself. Obviously, anything they think they know from that point until now is speculation. If Sam and Dean can't possibly know it, we can't possibly know it. So it feels like holes. Fortunately, I am annoyingly able to fill them in with hypotheses. :)
How did they learn to speak and write, if they were locked up in the walls? Why did the father even keep them around? Why did they wait so long to kill him?
We kind of assume they've been locked up in the walls for close to two decades, but we don't know that's the case. They have clothes, and have been fed more than rats, for sure. I think the father/grandfather kept them in the house the way he'd have kept the daughter. Probably in secret, because of the (ick) incest thing, of course, so no one else would have known about them. Why did he keep them? He was a sicko who needed power, as evidenced by what he did to his daughter. Her suicide removed her from his influence, so of course he kept the kids so he could keep his power. With TV around, they would have learned a little reading and writing and the ability to communicate. He probably locked them in the walls as they got bigger, maybe harder to control. I think he boarded up the dumbwaiter recently, and that caused them to break out and kill him (hence the delay).
For a show that's usually written quite neatly with few gaps, open questions such as these feel like a flaw. But I don't mind having a reason to keep thinking about and talking about the show, and I find the lack of spoon-fed detail refreshing. Also, being as in the dark as Sam and Dean about those things makes me feel closer to them.
Speaking of Sam and Dean...
Brotherly Moments
At the end of the last episode before the break, Dean revealed what happened in hell. That he'd resisted for 30 years, but in the last 10, he gave in, climbed off the torture rack, and started dishing the torture himself.
At the beginning of this one, Sam wakes from a deep sleep (scrunched into the back of the Impala) to find Dean looking for a job. But they just finished one bare hours ago, and Sam knows what's going on. Dean's running, either from what he told Sam, or the fact that he told it. We get Sam's knowing look and Dean's silent acknowledgment of it, with a few beautifully framed, beautifully lit shots. (Okay, maybe it's just the boys who are beautiful.)
Late in the episode, we see some of what's driving Dean. He blames himself for Ted being killed, and is absolutely determined to save the young boy. You can see the fervor in his eyes, feel it when the father asks, "Why do you care so much?" He's clearly trying to make up for what he did to the souls in hell.
But can he? That's the other big brotherly moment. He's tried. Over the last month, he's attempted to distance himself from his admission and atone for it. But he knows, and finally admits, that he can't. It's not just what he did. He liked it. It makes him sick now, but the torture eased the pain of his humanity, turned around what he'd endured for three decades, and he was glad to do it. When I watched him say that, I cracked inside. He's broken, so broken, perhaps unhealable.
But that's a topic for another post.

Amount of Rest
The interval of rest between hard efforts has historically been pegged as the time necessary for the heart rate to drop to about 120 beats per minute (bpm). This works fine for shorter intervals since it is typical that the rest period is about the same amount of time as the hard effort. However, for longer intervals, the heart rate will likely reduce to 120 bpm before the runner is physically ready to go again. Some runners simply jog one-half of the longer interval distance as a recovery period, and this takes about the same amount of time as the hard effort.
From this midpoint of recovery time, runners can vary the amount rest they take depending on their workout goal. Runners who are seeking to develop a greater amount of endurance can reduce their rest periods. Runners seeking to run faster during their hard efforts (usually to increase fast-twitch muscle development) can take longer rest periods.
Generally, within a reasonable margin of the midpoint recovery period (20 - 30 percent variation), it is simply a matter of preference to determine the amount of rest between hard efforts. The margin of fitness difference between a little more or a little less recovery period is inconsequential in the overall context of training.
The next question is whether to walk, jog or run during the recovery period. Again, this should be determined by the primary purpose of the training session. Walking obviously provides more rest than jogging if the rest periods are the same amount of time. Walking for recovery might make sense if the primary goal of the interval session is to maximize muscle development. If building endurance is the main goal, a walking recovery makes little sense.
Jogging during recovery is generally preferable to walking if for no other reason than the legs stay warm and loose between hard efforts, reducing the risk of injury during acceleration. Jogging during recovery also has the added benefit of keeping the runner running, which improves endurance and the mental toughness of the athlete.
Active running as "recovery" is used to build endurance. For example, a workout of 4 x 1-mile can have 1-mile recovery runs at 15-20 percent slower than the hard miles (e.g., if the hard mile is 6 minutes, the recovery mile would be 7 minutes). Prefontaine liked the workout that alternated 30- and 40-second 200 meters for 2.5 to 3 miles. This type of workout will improve anaerobic threshold but, like any fartlek, primarily serves to increase endurance. And at certain speeds, this type of workout is very tough and not for everyone.
More: 7 Ways to Avoid Overtraining
How Fast to Run Intervals
The speed at which a runner should do intervals is again influenced by the workout's purpose and the athlete's other training. A runner who does easy mileage is going to need to get more out of his interval sessions and will likely run intervals faster than a similar athlete who does higher quality distance running. In addition, speed is influenced by the volume of work to be done and must be consistent with the recovery time.
Going back to my example of doing 4 x 1-mile averaging 4:19, the reason the workout was not productive was because it was too close to my maximum ability. It simply broke me down too much, given the other training I was doing. Rather than being at race effort, the miles should have been done in the range of 80-85 percent of maximum heart rate, which would be about 10K race pace.
Pegging 1-mile intervals to 10k race pace is generally a good target for the typical runner. 800-meter intervals can be set at about 5K race pace. Intervals longer than 1 mile should be adjusted accordingly. If pace is being varied during the hard effort, the average pace is usually slowed. And for "cutdowns" the average pace is also slowed down slightly e.g., the first mile repeat would be slower than 10K pace and the last mile repeat would be closer to 5K race pace.
The pace of shorter intervals varies much more widely. If a large quantity of intervals are to be done, the pace will naturally be slower than if fewer intervals are to be done. If building endurance and anaerobic threshold is the main focus of the workout, the intervals should be slower than if developing muscles is the main goal. For building endurance and anaerobic threshold, the speed of a 400-meter interval should be slightly faster than 5K race pace. 300-meter and 200-meter intervals should be done at a slightly faster pace than 400-meter intervals.
With all interval workouts. it is important not to go too fast too soon. It is far better to start slowly and increase speed as the workout progresses than to do the opposite. To start the intervals at speeds that cannot be maintained reduces the quality of the workout and makes the recovery take longer. In addition, it is de-motivating to fail at a workout in this manner.

The On-Time, On-Target Manager: How a Last-Minute Manager Conquered Procrastination
Book Overview
The author of the bestselling classic The One-Minute( Manager explores one of the most common and insidious problems plaguing the workplace: Procrastination.
Editor Reviews
From the Back Cover Ken Blanchard's phenomenal bestsellers, such as The One Minute Manager and Raving Fans , have made him a globally recognized business legend. Millions look to Blanchard for innovative approaches to management, leadership, customer service, and much more. Now, he has joined with noted business author Steve Gottry to explore one of the most common and insidious problems plaguing the workplace--procrastination. The On-Time, On-Target Manager is the story of Bob, a typical middle manager who puts things off to the last minute. As a result, he misses deadlines because his lack of focus causes him to accomplish meaningless tasks before getting to the important things. Like many professionals, Bob rationalizes, justifies, and tries to explain. Luckily, Bob is sent to his company's CEO--which stands for Chief Effectiveness Officer--who helps him deal with the three negative side effects of procrastination: lateness, poor work quality, and stress to himself and others. Bob learns how to transform himself from a crisis-prone Last-Minute manager into a productive On-Time, On-Target manager. With this engaging parable, Blanchard and Gottry offer practical strategies any professional can put into practice to improve his or her performance.

The Irish presidential election is in the news these days – it takes place on Thursday, 27 October 2011. There are seven hopefuls in the race, some more controversial than others.
It reminds me of the day, 13 years ago, when we met the current President, Mary McAleese, in Wicklow town.
We were invited to the re-opening of Wicklow Gaol as an interactive visitor centre. It's now also famous for its ghosts (a bit of a theme this month, ghosts).
We'd visited the gaol before, when we were researching Nicholas's story. This is where he spent many bleak months waiting for sentence to be carried out after his trial in December 1799, and many more months after Lord Cornwallis commuted it to transportation on January 17, 1801.
While we were there we met Joan Kavanagh of the Wicklow Heritage Centre. Hugely knowledgeable and helpful, she told us stories of Wicklow in 1798. Biddy Dolan came up, of course, and Joan knew Nicholas Delaney's name. We swapped stories about Nicholas and she and put us on the trail of other local historians.
Wicklow Gaol was undergoing restoration, ready for the bicentenary of the Irish rebellion, and we were thrilled to get an invitation to its reopening on May 30th 1998.
It was a memorable day. Speeches, a blessing, a feast and a tour of the new Gaol, including horrific reconstructions of prison life and the transport ships.
After the ceremony, we had a quick chat with the President. Sadly there are no photos of this as we were too busy talking. But here are some of a very special day in our hunt for the story of Nicholas and how a landless peasant became a convicted murderer and an Australian pioneer.

Jessica Biel Talks Marriage, Justin And Acting In Elle
Jessica Biel Talks JT, Honeymooning, and Future Plans With Elle
Hitchcock star Jessica Biel, dressed in a silk and tulle Dior design, strikes a high-fashion pose on the January 2013 cover of Elle. Inside the magazine, Jessica posed with designers Jean Paul Gaultier, Azzedine Alaia, Maison Martin Margiela, Christian Louboutin, and Giambattista Valli, who famously created her pink wedding gown. It's been less than two months since Jessica and Justin Timberlake tied the knot in Italy, and she's already happily sharing thoughts on marriage as well as plans for the future. Here's more from Jess:
- Jessica on her honeymoon: "Honeymooning is the best thing about being a newlywed. I wish I could honeymoon forever."
- Jessica on marriage: "It means always having someone there to open the pickle jar . . . to share the ups and downs with, have adventures with. Someone to go swimming naked with. That kind of thing."
- Jessica on Justin's domestic sensibility: "He bakes pies. He's Southern, so he's got all this influence from his grandma. He does a three-layer pie . . . and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn't happen all that often, thank God. Otherwise, it would be a big problem."
- Jessica on the future: "My goal now is to work with great directors. Small role, big role, medium-size role—it doesn't matter. I just want to work with someone who's going to push me to a scary, exciting place that I've never been before."
