Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. — Frank Deon Christensen went to be with his Lord and Savior on June 8, 2013, at the age of 67. He has now joined his parents Frank Dewey and Sophia Minerva (Moler) Christensen in heaven.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. June 29th at the First Christian Church, Mutual, OK. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at First Baptist Church, Midland, TX.
Deon was born in Mooreland, OK on October 12, 1945 and grew up on the family farm near Mutual, Oklahoma. He worked his way through Phillips University, Enid, OK. During this time he also earned his pilot's license. He enlisted in the Army in 1968 and served for 4 years. He received a master's degree in Geology from the University of Texas at Dallas. He made his home in Midland, TX, for the past 39 years were he was a geologist. However, his first love was flying which led to his later vocation as a flight instructor. Deon loved teaching people. He was a professor for over 10 years in the aviation program at Midland College. He always had lots of ideas and had hoped to one day write a book. He was happiest when he was outdoors. He loved to hunt and was an excellent marksman. His favorite gun was a 22 rifle. He was an active volunteer for the Meals on Wheels, and he enjoyed making recordings for the Recording Library of West Texas. As an active member of First Baptist Church in Midland, Deon served in the Golf Carts Ministry, and on the Trail Partners Ministry that mentors with students at Sam Houston Elementary School. He will truly be missed by all.
He was a loving husband to Dianna Christensen. He leaves a son, Scott Christensen of Edgar, WI; one step-son, Sean Chaney and wife Andi; two granddaughters of Midland, TX, and a step-daughter Katheleen Chaney of San Angelo, TX. He is also survived by 3 brothers, Dr. Marion Christensen and wife Roberta of Kiowa, KS; Bob Christensen and wife Mary Beth of Mutual, OK; Tom Christensen and wife Gena of Mutual, OK, and a sister, Dee Snyder and husband Trigg of Enid, OK, and in-laws Robert and Nancy Gray of Midland, TX; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Meals on Wheels, 3301 Sinclair Ave, Midland, TX 79707 or to the Recording Library of West Texas, 2012 W. Cuthbert Ave, Midland, TX 79701.

PtheKing said 106 weeks agoNow that's funny!
tking6565 said 106 weeks agoYou might have to be a little older to appreciate this one!
TavernaLuna said 106 weeks agooh man! Really cool design and super funny but the only reason I'm not buying this is the AWFUL shirt color which I realize Teefury picks that and NOT the artist so shame on you teefury. Gross color!!!
duckythecook said 106 weeks agoAs much as I love Star Wars...I grew up when they were being made...Han Solo was my first crush =) ...This shirt is just pervie and disturbing...
rocketdave said 106 weeks agoCute. Coincidentally, I was recently made aware just how much the Coppertone logo has evolved over the years. This is how it must've looked long ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
chubley said 106 weeks agoAfter Hours HUH?
reeciekins said 106 weeks agoCute, but I look hideous in yellow :( I hope it does well :)
johnmason said 106 weeks agoFrikkin hilarious, but not a buy from me. If only because my kids would laugh their butts off every time I wore it. Still, kudos.
RYEbread9 said 106 weeks agoInteresting idea,
bonitadelrio said 106 weeks agoThe image is really funny but I've bought a lot of Dr. Who tees lately, and hubby's bought some too....
Meanwhile THANKS for creating the After hours section-- there have been a couple of shirts I missed because I remembered them too late.
Tankgrl27 said 106 weeks agoI love the design! ...But DONT want to look like a Simpson character :( Poor shirt color choice this time Teefury.
chronicangel said 106 weeks agoIf the shirt were a light blue, or any shade of blue, it would've been 'perfect'. :) The color choice was not the best choice . . at all. D:
But wow! Afterhours sale! How generous!
Thanks Teefury!
TimothyP said 106 weeks agoIt's gorgeous, it's beautiful, I laughed out loud like you wouldn't believe. BUT--I can't purchase. I'm a teacher, and what I wear outside the house matters as much as what is in my classroom. Love it, best of luck, but can't go there. :(

You do know that this is a take offo of the old suntan oil ad with the girl's bathing suit being yanked by a dog, its not just some random C-3PO rump.
MycoJ said 106 weeks agoJudging by the fact that you've added a button up top, am I to assume this After Hours thing is here to stay? Well I approve. I like an extra day to snag a shirt I would otherwise never forgive myself for missing. And a different price point is appropriate. And If it helps artists sell a few more shirts, that will only equal more wonderful shirts for us as more artists are able to support themselves. Bravo.

Are we seeing the same sideart?

Best practices for Xen?
My company wants to use XEN for virtualizing of some of our RHEL systems. VMware has a very clearcut explanation of best practice for their systems (e.g., how many network cards, SAN topology, etc). I've done some searching but I can't really find anything concrete for XEN/RHEL/CentOS. What is the best practice for a XEN virtual machine?
Xen is a much newer product than VMWare and has less "best practices" material available. In terms of resources you can look at, I suggest the Xen documentation for basics; it describes the tradeoffs in different configurations, which you can look at in terms of your own situation. Also, while you're focusing on RHEL/CentOS, XenSource has documentation for their products that can be looked at for guidance. There are a couple of Xen books available that offer practical guidance as well.
Here are a few links that you might find useful:

5 Smart Money Moves to Make This Summer
As temperatures heat up, here's a look at ways to improve your finances this summer and beyond.
For most people, summertime conjures images of lounging on the beach or barbecuing in the backyard. With the relaxed attitude of the season, it's easy to justify splurges on sandals, surfboards and other summertime treats.
"A lot of times we'll see expenses increase in the summer," says Scott Gamm, author of "More Money, Please: The Financial Secrets You Never Learned in School." "People are looking to take a vacation and enjoy the warmer weather, but you don't want a financial lifestyle that's completely disorganized." With a little time and discipline, you could actually improve your finances come fall. Here's a look at several savvy money moves to make this summer.
1. Review your spending. July 1 marks the halfway point of the year, so it's a good opportunity to analyze your spending over the past six months and adjust as needed. Jason Hull, owner of Hull Financial Planning in Crowley, Texas, suggests considering the following questions: "Are you spending money on things that truly matter to you? Are you being intentional with your money? Are there leaks? Did you wind up having expenses that you didn't expect?"
[Read: 6 Money-Saving Strategies That Could Backfire.]
Identify your financial and personal goals and consider whether your spending aligns with those goals. This can help ensure you're "consciously funneling money to the things that are important to you instead of letting money fritter away for things that aren't important to you," Hull adds. If, for instance, you're spending money on a boat, or golf membership or a digital subscription you no longer use, consider cutting the cord to free up money for other things.
2. Start planning for the holidays. Total holiday retail sales hit $579.8 billion last year, according to the National Retail Federation. To avoid holiday-related debt come January, set aside money now. Hull suggests creating a side account that's specifically earmarked for holiday purchases such as gifts and travel. Start with the amount you spent on the holidays last year and adjust up or down depending on your anticipated spending. Then divide by the number of months until the holidays.
"Ideally you're doing this in January, so at this point you'll probably have to divide it by six rather than dividing it by 12," Hull says. "The whole idea is that you're setting aside money each month so when those expenses come, you've already got the money there, and you don't have a huge hole in your wallet."
The other reason to start planning now is to avoid overspending on last-minute gifts or travel purchases when you're under a time crunch and have few options. If you're planning to save money by knitting, sewing, painting or otherwise making gifts, it's also smart to give yourself plenty of time.
3. Consider refinancing. Low interest rates make this an ideal time for many homeowners to refinance their mortgage if they haven't already. "Rates are incredibly low right now, so if you're continuing to wait for them to go lower, I think that's a mistake," says Joe Heider, managing principal at Rehmann Financial's Westlake, Ohio, office. If your lender previously denied a refinance due to low equity, try again, especially if it has been a few years, and you've built up more equity.
[See: 10 Ways Your Home Can Pay You Money.]
Also think beyond home loans and consider other big-ticket items you may have financed. "If they own a boat or an RV, interest rates on those types of vehicles are very low, and it may make sense for individuals to take a look at refinancing those," Heider says.
4. Automate savings and bills. Why waste precious summer days writing and mailing checks? Automate your finances so you'll never miss a bill while you're away on vacation or spend money you planned to save. Most bills can be set to auto-pay, and most bank accounts have the option for regular auto-transfers to savings, which eliminates the potential for you to cheat on your savings goals and spend the money instead.

If given time say 30 minutes, I could have answered the questions. And I wasn't expecting such a detailed interview questions over the phone. It really seemed like on site interview.

The essayists are all members of the Wesleyan Holiness Study Project, a gathering of scholars and leaders who have met since 2004 to explore the mission of the churches of the Holiness movement. The book begins with two compelling ecumenical statements articulating the holiness message for today's church: "The Holiness Manifesto" and "Fresh Eyes on Holiness." These are followed by a dozen penetrating essays grouped in three parts: (1) the understanding of holiness in Scripture, (2) holiness in historical and theological perspective, and (3) holiness in relation to various practical aspects of ministry. The book concludes with appendixes offering five considered descriptions of holiness.
The fastest-growing segments of the church worldwide have their roots in the Wesleyan Holiness tradition. Catholic, Orthodox, and other Protestant denominations are discovering its relevance to their own traditions and practices. The Holiness Manifesto offers an ideal overview to those wishing to understand more about this extremely influential movement.

In times of desperation or frustration, I've heard people use the term "godforsaken." It is often times prefaced or followed by other not-so-nice phrases to further describe or express how she or he is feeling about current circumstances. It is usually uttered when folks have a sense of loss or abandonment.
The basic meaning of "forsake" is to leave or abandon, to severe a relationship or to leave behind. But it can also mean to let someone alone or put distance between so a problem can be resolved, to let go, to set free or let something lie on the ground. Or as seen in the New Testament, it sometimes refers to being set apart or to renounce.
When I think about being forsaken, I think about loners. I have a thing about loners as I used to be one. In fact, in much of the fiction I've written, the main character is depicted as a loner. That's why I like westerns and science fiction because the heroes (or anti-heroes in some cases) are usually loners. Since childhood, my heroes have always been cowboys.
Loners prefer to be apart, to go their own way, to stand alone. They are hard and cynical on the outside but tenderhearted and hurting deep on the inside. Real relationships do not come easy because trust has been broken at some point in a loner's life. He or she was rejected or neglected or abused, all symptoms of being forsaken.
I'm here today to say that while everyone in the world may have forsaken you, God hasn't.
I don't know how many times in my younger days I cried myself to sleep. I struggled with rejection on a daily basis and spent so much time alone. Now don't misunderstand — I had my brothers and sister at home to play with and loving parents who cared for me. I just simply did not fit in at school or work or even church.
My saving grace was Jesus. I met Him when I was 9 and He kept me sane. I have always clinged to Him and He has remained my utmost hero. Through it all, He has never judged me, rejected me or forsook me as I had put my trust in Him all those years ago.
His favorite promise to me is in the first chapter in Joshua: "No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:5-9, NIV)
Beth Moore summed this passage up in one of her Bible studies: "I (God) will never fail you. I've got you in My grip."
I was captivated by the recent Sunday sermon in Hebrews 13:5-6: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'"
I'm no longer a loner, or at least I'm not as much of one as I was before. I've come to realize that God has my back, so when man attacks me, they are attacking Him, too.
He has promised to never leave me behind and thus far I have had no reason to doubt Him.

Local Vulnerabilities in Current Kernels
Recent kernel versions back to the older kernel 2.6.17 may contain a vulnerability that can be exploited by local attackers.
Although a fix for the vulnerability is now available, the solution does not seem to be totally secure. A vulnerability gives local attackers the ability to manipulate or hijack the system. Network attackers are said not to work. The vulnerability has been confirmed in kernel versions 2.6.17 through 22.214.171.124. A new kernel version, 2.24.2, was released Monday, however, the developers were not entirely sure if the vulnerability had really been removed. The current developer kernel 2.6.25 is said to have reliably fixed the security bug.
The bug was caused by pointer handling in programs. The "vmsplice" function, which was affected, was introduced with kernel 2.6.17. It supports faster transfer between various memory areas. The vulnerability was caused by incorrect validation by the "vmsplice_to_user()", "copy_from_user_mmap_sem()" and "get_iovec_page_array()" functions prior to performing memory operations. Under certain circumstances attackers could use a carefully crafted call to "vmsplice()" to read or write to kernel memory space.

Undoing Reagan - Restoring the California Dream
by Charles Lemos, Thu Nov 19, 2009 at 11:27:09 PM EST
Ronald Reagan launched his political career in 1966 in his run for the governorship in California by targeting UC Berkeley's student peace activists, its professors, and, to a great extent, the University of California itself. His oft-repeated mantra was "to clean up the mess at Berkeley." In the end, he destroyed what was one of the great equalizers in California's meritocracy. Under Reagan began our shift from education as a right to education as a privilege for the wealthy or as an investment for the rest of us.
Reagan, who attended a bible college without distinguishing himself, viewed the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley with deep suspicion. In his campaign he vowed to "investigate charges of communism and blatant sexual misbehavior on the Berkeley campus." He proposed deep across budget cuts for the system and cavalierly suggested that Berkeley sell its collections of rare books in the Bancroft Library and hold bake sales in Sproul Plaza. He repeated Milton Friedman's views whenever and wherever he could: "Individuals should bear the costs of investments in themselves and receive the rewards."
"The state should not subsidized intellectual curiosity" declared Reagan when he finally ended a century-long state policy of free tuition in what has long been the nation's crown jewel of public universities. Founded in 1868 as a city of learning, the University of California was free for all. Today tuition runs $9,748 for in-state residents. Total cost runs over $28,000. And it is about to go up significantly effectively ending the American dream for tens of thousands who will be priced out of the nation's largest higher education system. For the 2010-2011 academic year, tuition will rise by 32 percent.
That the state of California is in crisis is by now a well-known fact. Our cupboard is threadbare and the state faces a $20.7 billion dollar deficit over the next 18 months. The implications are stark given the political impasse in the state legislature where a rump Republican minority has decided that it is to their political advantage to hold the state hostage. Nothing will get solved and lives will be ruined.
It's not just the ten flagship campuses of the University of California system that are hurting. It is the entire system. The state's 110 community colleges are designed to be affordable launchpads to further education, with the assurance that after a two-year foundation, students can land at one of the California State University or University of California campuses. Once they arrive at universities, data shows that transfers are successful, graduating at a slightly higher rate than students who enter as freshmen. But six in ten community college students are unable to graduate largely because cuts have so devastated the system that they can't get the classes they need to complete their associate's degree. California now ranks 39th among states in the percentage of bachelor's degrees awarded to high school graduates.
And as California's educational prowess sinks so does the state overall. Restoring the California Dream does, in fact, mean undoing Reagan.
From the New York Times:
The state's higher education budget has been slashed by $2.8 billion this year, including $813 million from the university system -- about the equivalent of New Mexico's entire higher education budget.
"Dismantling this institution, which is a huge economic driver for the state, is a stupendously stupid thing to do, but that's the path the Legislature has embarked on," said Richard A. Mathies, dean of the College of Chemistry here at Berkeley, long the system's premier campus. "When you pull resources from an institution like this, faculty leave, the best grad students don't come, and the discoveries go down."
As the litany of cuts continues, there is a growing worry that senior faculty members may begin to defect. In fact, some colleges around the nation have begun identifying funds to use to recruit U.C. professors.
Since California adopted a master plan for higher education in 1960, the state has been, in the words of the historian Kevin Starr, "utopia for higher education." Eight of the 10 University of California campuses -- all but Merced and San Francisco -- are in the top 100 in this year's U.S. News & World Report's rankings. But maintaining that edge, without resources, is difficult.
In 2004, international rankings by the London-based Times Higher Education named Berkeley the No. 2 research university in the world, behind only Harvard. This year, Berkeley plummeted to No. 39, mostly because of its high faculty-to-student ratio. The other international rankings, by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, rated Berkeley No. 3 this month.
Patrick M. Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, a nonpartisan group that promotes access to higher education, said that while public universities in many states were facing financial problems, California was in a class by itself.
"In most states, it's the economy, and you can say that in a couple of years, it will bounce back," Mr. Callan said. "But in California, it's really part of a significant retrenchment of the whole public sector. If the perception is that it's going to be chronic, and people give up on California, the pre-eminence of Berkeley and U.C.L.A. would be in danger."
No wonder, then, that people like Bruce Fuller, a Berkeley professor of education and public policy, are asking themselves whether it is time to move on.
As co-director of the Institute for Human Development, an interdisciplinary research group that suffered big cuts, Mr. Fuller worries that the unit is losing its intellectual excitement and its ability to support his grant proposals. Then, too, he lost his two best graduate students last year to Stanford.
"To stay on top, you need to be bringing in new people," Mr. Fuller said. "And I'm not sure how many of my most stimulating colleagues will still be here in three years."
So although he was not swayed last year when the University of North Carolina came calling, Mr. Fuller said, he may be more receptive this year.
Formerly taboo ideas, like allowing U.C.L.A. and Berkeley to charge substantially more than other campuses, or even eliminating the research mission at some of the newer campuses, are being put forward. Many here seem to be in a state of shock that things have been allowed to get so bad at one of the nation's leading public research universities, one with a long tradition of excellence. Berkeley faculty, past and present, have won 21 Nobel prizes. And last month, two of the 24 MacArthur fellowship grants went to a Berkeley computer scientist and a molecular biologist.
Students, professors and union workers alike say the state's 20 percent cutback in financing imperils the system's ability to provide a top-quality education to all qualified California students, particularly those from low-income families, who make up almost a third of the university's student body.
A nation is only as good as its public universities. The total cost of sending every single public university undergraduate to college for a year, a group makes up 75 percent of the total college enrollment, was $39.36 billion in 20062007 according to the Council of Higher Education. That's not an insignificant number, but that's less than half the cost of the AIG bailout, or the cost of five months in Iraq (in October 2009, our bill for Iraq came to $7.3 billion). Just put that into consideration when you consider the billions more we are about to pump into Afghanistan. We can send our kids to school or we can send them to die. Choose wisely.

I've made this a few times and the recipient always loves it. One suggestion--don't store the boiled sweet potatoes in the fridge when you don't have time to make the pie right then...it separates a bit and makes the pie grainier than it needs to be. It's much smoother when the directions are followed and it's mixed right after boiling and peeling. :)
I have made this recipe for the past three years and always receive rave reviews. People who have eaten sweet potato pie all their lives say this recipe is the best they have ever tasted. I have made minor changes to suit my taste. I use evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I add a 1/4 tsp of cloves and ginger and 2 tbsp of lemon juice. The lemon enhances the tast of the potatoes. I also add a 1 tbsp flour to the mixture to thicken up a bit. Last, I I halve the white sugar and replace with brown sugar. Try this and you won't be disappointed.
The flavor was delicious, but it was very sweet. The filling did not set well and was slightly loose, as a few other reviewers have noted. However, I printed this recipe last year and just got around to trying it now. Apparently in the meantime the recipe has been adjusted from "1 large sweet potato" to "1 one-pound sweet potato". Perhaps this will make a difference. In comparing this recipe to other sweet potato pie recipes, I've noticed that most seem to call for 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes. I don't believe my "one large" sweet potato equalled 2 cups mashed.

We are accepting applications for individuals interested in working as exit pollsters on Tuesday, November 6th throughout the state of Montana, particularly there is a location in Harlem, MT.. The job requires working from 7am-8pm and the pay is $225 for the day. The exit pollsters' responsibilities are to ask voters to participate in a survey as they exit the polling place. The survey is completely voluntary, and there is no need to pressure people, just simply ask if they would like to participate. Several times during the day, the exit pollster will tally the results they've gotten so far, and call them in to our operations center. We would train this person to follow our survey procedures in a 20 minute training phone call and a follow up 5 minute "rehearsal call". All necessary materials are provided by Edison Research.

All this week, WUWM has been reporting on the skills gap – the challenge employers say they face in finding skilled workers. We've also visited programs that provide training. They range from teaching technical skills, down to basic job readiness habits. As our series, Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted concludes, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson sought opinions on the role government should play in addressing skills shortages.
We conclude our Project Milwaukee series Friday on the skills gap. One solution some business people have suggested is immigration reform. For instance, a company owner told WUWM's LaToya Dennis that he would have an easier time filling jobs, if the U.S. would grant permanent residency to skilled immigrants, including the students educated here. Milwaukee Attorney Jose Oliviera told LaToya that there is no fast or simple way for immigrant workers to remain here, even if employers need them.
Call it a skills gap – or an employment gap – or even a training gap. The reality is there are thousands of unemployed Milwaukeeans, many of them in the central city. For whatever reason, they're not connecting with the existing unfilled jobs available.
This week's Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted series has been looking at the so-called skills gap in Wisconsin - the divide between unemployed and underemployed workers and the jobs that exist but go unfilled.Nowhere in Wisconsin is the employment issue greater than in Milwaukee's Central City, where the number of employed residents dropped by half between 1970 and 2000, and where unemployment rates currently dwarf those found in the surrounding areas. It's an issue that UW-Milwaukee's Center for Economic Development has tracked closely.
All week, WUWM has been digging into the complexities of the skills gap.Our journalists have gathered the perspectives employers hungry to hire AND of workers eager to land good paying jobs.Environmental Reporter Susan Bence sets out to learn if "skills gap" applies to local green industry.
As we've been reporting this week, Wisconsin employers say they have plenty of decent-paying jobs open, but cannot find qualified workers. And the skills gap or shortage is expected to grow, as experienced baby-boomers retire. WUWM's Erin Toner has Thursday's installment of our series, Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted. She observed programs successfully pumping skilled job applicants into the pipeline. Yet she learned, that what's working – is also what's missing.
The presidential election is less than a week away, and foreign policy: America's place, and role, in the world, will be a key part of the job for whichever administration takes office in January.
Businesses in the Milwaukee area say there are not enough skilled workers to fill available jobs.We heard about that frustration Tuesday when WUWM's LaToya Dennis spoke with local managers. Today, in our Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted series, we learn how people seeking jobs are striving to acquire the skills needed.
The challenges and efforts to bridge the employment gap among workers generally are at the lower end of the skills spectrum. But as we've heard during our series this week, employers are reporting the greatest degree of challenge in filling jobs requiring highly specialized skills. Jobs requiring engineering, chemistry, biology, or computer science skills often can't be filled with on-the-job or certificate level training.
As we heard in our last segment, the skills gap - as it affects workers in the Milwaukee area - is about both highly skilled workers and people with lesser skills. And while some employers are looking for workers with very specialized experience, nearly all employers say they need workers with so-called "soft skills" - a good and reliable work ethic, ability to learn and adapt to a job, and good communication skill. But even those skills are lacking in some workers. And so a local foundation - generally known more for its work in aging and childhood issues - has added support for workforce development in the inner city to its priorities.

I don't think there has ever been a meet where I thought I put out my best performance, i think its just part of powerlifting haha.
VERY solid meet though. 120lbs total PR is huge! Congrats.
Ive been in the same situation as you with thinking that a lift was good when it was turned down, its best just to forget about it but thats hard to do. The first time or two it happened to me I got really bad and both times it effected my performance later in the meet. In the end it balances out, if you are going to be doing this for a long time you will also have some very generous calls
Ive had meets where the deads are directly after the bench. my deadlift warmup at a meet consists of 315 x 1 and thats it so I have always liked it, lots of guys lose quite a few lbs off their pull, especially benchers with big arches.

Great work Lones, an impressive total and great jump in your PRs. Suck about the bench but you have made some great moves in your pressing lately, and it will be even bigger next time.

Thanks for the responses guys!
I know I'm right where I want to be with my strength, just a few mistakes made a huge difference in my total. I'm kicking myself right now for that last squat though, or trying to, I'm not sure I'm able to move today
I had some time to let it sink in on the drive home and think some about my training, it will be very similar to how it has been. Its been working great for me.
You won't see me in a shirt for the next 6 months
Congrats on the PR's and it was a good meet.
I'll try to get the bench and DL videos up today. Unfortunately, as you know, DJ and I were also caught in the accident traffic, and I think for the first time they actually started the meet on time and we missed Lones entire squat flight!

Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota announced that a Coram man who was convicted last month of a violent hate crime against a mentally disabled man at a bus stop at Cherub Lane and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station will be sentenced in a Riverhead court on Friday.
On June 10, 2010 Brian Karris, 36, punched Joseph King, who was 46-years-old at the time, in the face then "twice stomped on the unconscious victim's head," according to a statement released by the district attorney's office.
Police detectives arrested Karris 12 days after the attack.
"The victim was in a coma for a week and hospitalized for several months with multiple skull fractures," the district attorney said in a statement,
The judge in his trial found Karris not guilty of assault in the first degree, not guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree but determined he was guilty of assault in the second degree as a hate crime.
In his statement, Spota said that Karris targeted King because he is African-American and has an intellectual disability.
"The defendant admitted to police both a resentment of African Americans, and that he was 'messin' with (the victim) 'cause I knew he was a retard,'" he said.
The district attorney will recommend Karris get the maximum punishment of 15 years in a state correctional facility.

Jack Perkowski, Contributor
The management of Tesla Motors Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) certainly hopes so.
At the Detroit Auto Show, Tesla announced its plans to open a dealership in Beijing — its first store in China — this spring. George Blankenship, the company's vice president of worldwide sales, said the store will house an 8,000-square-foot facility, much larger than its U.S. stores, which typically have 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of floor space. "The China market is incredibly important to us," Blankenship said. "We think our timing is perfect."
2013 is an important year for Tesla. The maker of battery-powered Model S sedans has a goal of becoming profitable this quarter, with vehicle deliveries forecast to rise to a record 20,000 units this year. In fact, Tesla, which received $465 million in U.S. Energy Department loans to develop and build electric cars, is so confident about its prospects that it predicted it will repay the funds five years ahead of schedule.
Despite the confidence of management, though, the company has its doubters, as evidenced by the 50 percent short interest in Tesla's stock. Production snags in last year's second half boosted operating expenses and triggered a wider fourth-quarter loss for Tesla than analysts anticipated. Moreover, a recent New York Times article, "Stalled Out on Tesla's Electric Highway," has sparked a running feud between Tesla and John Broder, the article's author. Tesla management admits that the article has cost the company $100 million in sales.
With pressure mounting to achieve its sales targets in 2013, where else to look for buyers but China, the largest automotive market in the world? The $64,000 question, though, that will only begin to be answered when Tesla's Beijing showroom opens is: "Will the Chinese be willing to buy a Tesla?"
Tesla supporters cite a number of reasons for optimism. First, Beijing is enduring an unprecedented amount of smog, which has reduced visibility on many days to a few yards. Electric vehicles are seen as at least part of the solution for improving air quality. Secondly, the Chinese government wants to decrease the country's dependence on imported oil, and electric vehicles effectively transfer fuel requirements from internal combustion engines that burn gasoline, to power plants that burn coal, which China has in abundance. Third, for these and other reasons, electric cars enjoy many favorable policies from the local governments. For example, Beijing has begun offering free license plates and a $19,000 rebate to private buyers of electrics. And finally, the luxury car segment is one of the fastest growing in China's large and growing car market.
In considering all of the variables, however, it seems clear that if Tesla is going to make it in China, it will have to make it as a luxury brand, not as an electric vehicle. At a base price of $59,900, Tesla's Model S electric sedan already costs up to twice as much as a similar sized conventional car. Optional features can take the price up to $100,000, to which a 25 percent import duty, 17 percent Value Added Tax, and a Consumption Tax must be added before it reaches the consumer. At that price point, Tesla's potential customers will be the wealthy individuals that have made China the world's largest market for luxury brands.
Moreover, Tesla is not likely to benefit from favorable government policies in China because, for the most part, they are reserved for electric cars manufactured in the country. In order to promote sales of its Chevy Volt, General Motors has been urging the Chinese government to extend its electric vehicle subsidies to imported models since 2010, to no avail. Even if subsidies were extended, however, they wouldn't be enough to move the Model S out of the luxury category.
As far as pollution, it's not clear how large an impact electric vehicles would have on air quality in cities like Beijing. Because Beijing already requires that all cars being sold in the city meet Euro V emission standards, with other cities following suit, passenger cars are not really the problem. By the time a car achieves Euro V standards, emissions of NOx and particulate matter are negligible. The real culprits are diesel burning trucks and buses (many of which are still operating at Euro III emission levels), factories, and the coal-fired power plants that will supply the electricity for the electric vehicles. The net result on air pollution of a large population of electric vehicles may well be negligible.
As a practical matter, sales of electric vehicles have been weak in China, and largely limited to government and corporate customers. "The government's been trying to promote them [electric vehicles], but it's not an easy sell," said Tim Dunne, director of Asia-Pacific market intelligence at consumer-research firm JD Power and Associates. "While everyone [who does business with China] would like China to reduce their dependence on oil and reduce emissions," Dunne said, "EV sales are anemic in most markets around the world."
In the first three quarters of 2012, only 3,000 electric vehicles were sold in China. Global consulting firm McKinsey & Co predicts the Chinese market will remain mostly unchanged, at least for the next five years, as individual buyers continue to be indifferent to electric vehicles.
That leaves Tesla in competition with BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, and other well established luxury brands that provide the "face" that every brand conscious buyer of a luxury car in China desires. Whether Tesla can do the same remains to be seen.
Jack – You are asking more like a $64M question for 2014 revenues, and multiples beyond that. If the Chinese drivers rate the quality of the drive experience as the discriminators in making purchases, then yes, the Chinese will buy a Tesla – thousands and thousands of them.
Chinese culture often (not always) looks to the west for influence – in the most culturally influential part of the US, California, Tesla is a big deal. If you accept that the version of the Model S that is currently for sale is likely the worst version Tesla will ever sell – future ones will have more range, a few gimmicks owners long for like cupholders, etc. – then the Chinese buyers will be buying the best car made. Period.
OK, I admit, I own one. It is remarkable. EVERYONE who has ridden in it or driven it LOVES it. I live in Texas, so that means oil and gas producers, lawyers, architects, doctors, engineers, scientists, environmentalists, and the local BMW dealership manager. And even someone of Chinese descent.
It's a competitive world in California as well – and recently the Model S seems to be taking significant high-end share from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi:
Not to mention the Motor Trend, Automobile and Yahoo Autos Car of the Year awards, and glowing reviews from Car and Driver and many others. I'm sure they're being followed by the target market in China.
I understand you're based in China, but you might try a test drive on your next visit to the US. I've had mine for a week, have driven from Boston to New York and back in a snowstorm, and have given rides and test drives to a number of friends and relatives. All are amazed, as I continue to be daily – it's the best car I've ever driven, by far.
Forbes gets it wrong yet again, one multiple fronts. This piece is just poor sloppy or biased reporting. The editor for the Broder story herself proclaimed that Broder's report was poorly done and that he was "taking what seem to be casual and imprecise notes along the journey". As for Tesla loosing $100 million…this was clearly stated by Elon Musk that it was market cap and not sales as Perkowski writes. Seems that journalists these days try to influence the market as much as possible in order to take advantage of fluctuating stock prices. The SEC should zero in on these clowns.
No matter how many times people repeat it, it is still not true. Musk did NOT say that the NYT cost him $100M in sales and cancelled orders. He DID day that it cost him about $100M in MARKET CAPITALIZATION and cancelled orders. For crying out loud. Why can't today's media get facts straight? Is there no journalistic integrity any more? It's like 3rd grade when you pass a saying down the line and it comes out all "purple Monkey octopi".
Well it is certainly possible that you are not a clown, you are quoting a story that is symptomatic of what is wrong with journalism today. Do you not have any responsibility to check on the facts? Here's a link to a story on your very own site that quotes what Musk actually said. He very specifically said $100 million referred to the valuation in the company and NOT sales. In fact he said there were maybe a few hundred sales lost due to the article. So you were only off by a couple of decimal points.
Can't see why they would buy a Tesla….too unreliable. Too many reviews have found major flaws and minimum range. Also and perhaps more importantly, the E-grid system in China is much worse that the one in the USA or in Europe…and sales have been handicapped by that problem. And…based on style and performance is not better than what is offered by German or Italian cars in that price range.
"Too many reviews have found major flaws and minimum range"? Please expand on this.
The car has won numerous car of the year awards, and just about every review I have read has been glowing. There are somewhere around 6,000 Model S's on the road now, so yes, there are going to be isolated reports of problems, but Tesla has a wonderful service team that goes above and beyond what any other auto manufacturer does (who else will come to your home or work to service your car?).
Do you have any first hand experience with a Tesla? By your comments, I know the answer is no. I am the proud owner of a Model S – P85. It is the finest car I have ever purchased! There is no justification to say it is unreliable (where the heck did you get that idea?) and it was found to be car of the year by two major auto magazines. The range is actually excellent and it is one of the most flawless new cars ever introduced. John Broder, if he did not intentionally trash the car, made so many mistakes that he should not be a qualified critic of any vehicle.
I currently own a Porsche 911, a Porsche Cayenne and a Mercedes E350. I have owned BMWs, Saabs, Volvos and a number of American cars in the past. I mention this only because I have experience with luxury vehicles and I have a passion for German cars. In fact, I was considering a Porsche Panamera before I went with the Model S. I can say without question, anyone looking to buy ANY luxury vehicle would be best off with a Tesla. It is in a class by itself and I couldn't be more pleased with the decision I made.
I don't know a single Tesla person that isn't delighted with their car. Punchline is, I suspect you posess zero knowledge of electric vehicles and the Tesla specifically. Maybe you should talk to people who are in the know to help you develop a more informed opinion on the subject.
Tom – I respectfully disagree. I have owned a BMW 5-series, Mercedes SL, and Lexus RX – the Tesla is better than all of them. In spades. I have a friend who essentially mothballed his Maserati when his Tesla arrived. If you need a car for range (drive >300 miles/day often) this car is not for you…yet. That will change over the next several years.
I'm happy to have purchased one now so Tesla can keep on improving the range issue with each succeeding model. However, since range is not an issue for me, I have not 'compromised' – I am driving the best car I have ever owned, every day. By the way, I wake up with a 'full tank' of electrons every morning. Unless you own a gas station, I doubt you can say that about the level of gas in your tank. In fact, it means 'range' is actually less of an issue for me because I never have to worry about filling up at a gas station. Ever again. As in never, ever.
Please go drive one and then make an honest comparison for yourself – you'll be surprised. And re-energized.
Correction… Elon Musk did not say it was $100 million in sales. He said "hundreds of million" in reference to Tesla Motor's market cap.
On Friday, 2/8/2013, Tesla hit a new all time high of $40.00. Tesla (TSLA) is one of the most highly shorted stocks on the NASDAQ. Big money was in play and margin calls were going out. Then, just in the nick of time, Mr. Broder published his fraudulent, defamatory article the following Sunday. As a direct result of that article, the stock dropped 7.5% by the following Tuesday. How convenient for all the short sellers. And although I haven't heard or read anything (the SEC keeps on-going investigations confidential), I strongly suspect that the SEC may be currently looking at Mr. Broder's financials in regards to that article.
As for what Elon said, Tesla has a market cap of about $4 billion. 7.5% of $4 billion is $300 million. That's what Elon was referring to when he said "hundreds of million".
In regards to sales, he thought the article probably caused about 200 reservation cancellations. With an average sales price of about $75,000 that would be $15 million in sales. However, with 15,000+ reservations and about 60 new ones coming in each day, no big deal on the cancellations caused by the article.
It was the market cap that hurt — not sales, Also, the investors that had options expiring that very same week that the article was published suffered significant losses. If the SEC finds any wrong-doing, Mr. Broder and the NYT could be looking at some serious liabilities.
@Jack Burgess
Seems that the "sloppy reporting" is contagious.
After looking at all the data, I have come to believe that Mr. Broder's article was not sloppy. The NYT public editor that reviewed the article admitted that it contained several mistakes. If some of the mistakes erroneously put the Model S in an unfounded negative light and others an unfounded positive light, that would have been sloppy. However, ALL of Mr. Boder's "mistakes" put the car in a very significant negative light, ending with the gratuitous picture of the car on a flatbed tow truck. That wasn't sloppy. That was an intentional, calculated, negative hit piece.
Not to seem too harsh, but I've voiced this complaint elsewhere:
Why are you writing about a product that you only have third-hand knowledge of. There are dozens of showrooms, offering test drives in most major cities. If you don't know anything about the product, then why are you offering insight into how it will be accepted by either a local or international market.
Tesla Model S is a consumer product, like an iPhone. Would anyone listen to an analysis of a smartphone from someone who's never used one?
Coupled with the errors about 100 Million in lost sales (which was clarified in the actual interview with Musk) this appears to be a slightly better "Brodering" of Tesla's product.
Do you mean the facts as Broder saw them? What blinders are you referring to?
For the love of god, do any of you writers check your sources? In the video interview Musk said the article cost them $100 mill in market cap, not sales! and he said as far as sales, they maybe lost 100 or so. Jesus, i've seen this missprinting like 15 times already and you only need to watch a 2 minute video to get the facts.
McKinsey & Co is wrong, Chinese in Beijing is very interested in Tesla Motors. The goverment will produce a policy that allows electric cars not limited by "Yaohao" policy.
"Yaohao" policy started at 2011 for limit the number of traditional cars.
Now there is only 1 person of 80 persons can get the quota. For most people, they are despair for buying a car. Now there are 15 million people in beijing are waiting for the quota to buy their first car.
This year, Beijing government has announced the person buying a electric car will not limited by the "Yaohao" policy, many people are very excited, but chinese electric cars like BYD E6 are very expensive, dangerous, technique-immature and ugly appearance. The tesla will be very popular for these people in Beijing. Many rich men will cost much more money for it like buying iPhone.

When goose is roasted it gives off a quantity of fat that can be strained and stored, once cool, in the refrigerator. Goose fat is an excellent cooking medium with a rich, silky texture and has a very fine, savoury flavour. It can be cooked at a high temperature without burning.
Goose fat can be bought in cans and jars.
Once opened, keep in the fridge. If strained through muslin into sterilised jars, home-produced goose fat will keep for up to six months. Goose fat freezes well and lasts many months. A good tip is to freeze small quantities in small blocks or ice-cube trays for ease of use.
Use it to make superb roast potatoes, homemade confit or pastry and dumplings.

Jeffersonville's boys and girls swimmers ran away with Jeffersonville Invitational titles on Saturday.
The Red Devil boys won all but two of the 11 events and beat runner-up Jennings County 205 points. The girls also won nine events and left second place Jennings County behind by nearly 120 points.
"This meet is always a good meet for us," Jeff coach Keith Gast said. "We have just come out of Christmas training, the kids have become accustomed to the higher work loads we have been doing and we tend to swim pretty well. Today was no different."
Timothy "T" Martin, Karlee Demsey and Elizabeth were four-time winners for the Red Devils. The trio each won two individual events and were members of a pair of winning relay teams.
Martin won the 200-yard freestyle and the 100 butterfly, Browne won the 100 and 200 freestyle and Demsey captured the 200 individual medley and the 100 fly titles.
Amber Leininger won the 500 freestyle, breaking 5:40 for the first time. Freshman Michael Cain finished second in the 500 with a 5:04 and junior Max Weidekamp won the 200 IM in a lifetime best of 2:07.89.
The Jeff girls will battle for the Hoosier Hills Conference championship on Saturday.
"This was a good meet for us as we head into HHC week for the girls," Gast said. "I think we finalized some of the swims we will use this weekend."
• FC sweeps Owls: Floyd Central swept Seymour on Saturday with the girls beating the Owls 108-77 and the boys dominating 129-56.
The Highlanders and the Owls are among the favorites in Saturday's Hoosier Hills Conference girls' meet. Floyd won seven of the 12 events and won comfortably with superior depth.
Meg Taylor won four events for the Highlanders. She was victorious in the 200 freestyle, the 500 freestyle and was a member of both of Floyd's winning freestyle relay teams. Maryn Meldrum won three events, including the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke. She also teamed with Taylor in the 200 free relay.
The Highlander boys won 11 of the 12 races, led by Oscar Anderson, Kyle Crater and Eli Anderson, who each won four events. Brendon Smith won the 100 butterfly and was on two victorious relay teams.
• Highlanders second at Corydon: Floyd Central finished second at Corydon Central's Old Capitol Classic on Saturday, just five points behind champion Zionsville.
Terrence Kennedy, Tre Marler, John Meldrum, Chase Herron and Nick Ottersbach all won championships for the Highlanders. Ian Bagwell, Cory Troutman and Michael Kruer, who was unseeded, finished second. Lance Youtsey and Sean Brown — also unseeded — placed third and Brennan Banet was fourth in his weight class.
On Friday, the Highlanders defeated Charlestown 60-15. Tyler Crowl, Kennedy, Marler, Troutman, Kruer, Meldrum, Herron, Bagwell, Youtsey, Banet and Ottersbach all defeated their Pirate counterparts.

The Engineering Chapter
The Engineering Chapter is a partnership of:
The Faculty of Engineering
The City and Guilds College Association
The Royal School of Mines Association
And us the CGCU
City & Guilds College Association (CGCA) is the corporate association of Imperial College's Faculty of Engineering. Essentially, the primary aim of the Association is to promote the maintenance of close links and networking between members. For typically the price of membership of an Imperial College society, the Association offers students and academic staff, past and present, the chance to meet other members, most of whom will have already graduated from Imperial College, and now will be engaged in all aspects of engineering. This can range from design, consultancy, manufacturing and education, to government, finance, commerce, and related professional activities. This informal network can prove to be extremely valuable as a source of information and contacts.
Membership brings immediate benefits. You will receive the membership list allowing networking opportunities. You will also obtain a copy of the Association's Journal "Imperial College Engineer" twice each year, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a range of functions, held either in London or in one of the overseas branch locations. Members of the Association may be found in all parts of the world, and are always found most willing to help a member when in new territory.
The CGCA maintains corporate membership of the New Cavendish Club, located in elegant and recently refurbished premises close to Marble Arch and Oxford Street. CGCA members are always welcome to make use of the facilities of the club upon proof of Association membership. Through the OC Trust Fund valuable support is provided for student enterprise and initiative, not to mention the odd case of hardship.
The Association's programme includes a full range of social, networking and re-union events. Social activities include a reception and private view at the Courtauld Institute, a luncheon at the House of Lords that is preceded by a tour of the Palace of Westminster and the annual 'Decade Reunion Luncheons'. The CGCA Annual Dinner takes place in a City Livery Hall, and provides the opportunity to hear well-known speakers drawn from industry, commerce and national life.
The annual Career Networking Reception for Graduating students is one of the many events sponsored by CGCA. It is aimed at students in their final year and has been timed to co-ordinate with the Imperial College Careers Fair. Hosted in recent years at the National Liberal Club, it aims to introduce students to the CGCA and the network of contacts that are available to them.
Above all else, the CGCA is your association, uniting all those from the Faculty of Engineering who value the College's reputation as one
of Europe's leading Engineering and Management schools, and who are committed to extending its influence in the academic, business and professional world for the benefit of its members.
As industry and commerce become more fragmented, and executives in all sectors make an increasing number of job moves during their careers, the City & Guilds College Association's informal network can prove to be extremely valuable as a source of information and contacts.
