Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Laura Roesler ran a 51.45 anchor for Oregon.
She also ran a 2:05.29 800m in the prelims.
Anybody think she should move down to the 400m?
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
No, unless she can run sub-23 in the 200.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
If she can run sub-23, then she makes the NCAA 200m final!
I think sub 24 is sufficient.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
I guess if she would be happy finishing in the top eight in the 400, sure.
She has pretty decent speed for an elite 800 runner. She has run 2:03.08 already. That is her best event.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
She didn't even make the finals of the 800m.
So maybe it's not her best event.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
Unless she really belongs in the 1500 (no, really).
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
Now THAT I can agree with, gh. Her future is probably at the longer distance.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
16 high school championships including 4 straight at 100 up to 2 at XC and at least one at 1600. She will need the speed to finish the 1500 at the world level, whereas I doubt she will be world-class in the 100. 200. and even the 400. Remember that someone that has been that dominant does not get a lot of practice before college in the art of racing, so not making the 800 final does not mean that much about capabilities.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
You beat me to the punch, bub! Aye! I think she should, and stay there, unless her coach thinks she could possibly double (400/800), which I think has never happened at an NCAA or AIAW Championship.
Does Camara Jones still hold the school record in the open 400 (51.45, 1995)? Laura's split is easily worth an open 51.95 (give or take .1). She ran 24.2 for the first 200 of her anchor leg, which is incredibly impressive for an 800 runner who has yet to break 2:00.0. With a little work to hold her late-race speed (perhaps another half-second faster on that second 200), she could find herself running 50.xx, possibly next year. Depending on the rest of the field, I'd bet good horse money that it would be worth a top-4 finish.
Who among the women returning next year have run faster than 51.45? How many under 51.00? Given that Laura's PR of 2:03.08 as been lingering since her HS sophomore year, I think her path to a faster 800 begins with a faster 400, and she clearly has the potential to go high-50.xx.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
Again, I disagree; she has enough speed to do well at the long end, but her speed and speed endurance will not be that great on the world stage for the 400. Remember, she got beat by almost 2.5 seconds on that anchor leg; in the 400 that is a 'country mile', and it is 3.5 seconds slower than the anchor leg by AF who has yet to win any medal at 400m.
If I recall correctly, there are several other runners that ran great 400 legs given their specialties but I do not think that anyone was suggesting that they were in the wrond events, and they were closer to the WR time than LR.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
I think Laura is best at the 800 mtrs. Yes, she can run a fast 400 mtrs, but to be the best of the best in the 800 you need to be able to run a fast 400 mtrs. I say her coach is doing a great job in having her compete in the open 800 & throw her on the 4x400. However we look at this, this young lady is a beast on the track. I love to see her run. I think if A&M, LSU & even Texas had her, they will still have her open event as the 800 & throw her on the 4x400. The 1500 is out of the question for this young lady. I'm not saying that she can't run a descent 1500 but to place top 3 by her junior or senior year, I just don't see it.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
I think Laura could do better in the 400m than in the 800m.
Obviously she is a great talent, and can do well at a wide range of distances.
But the 400m and 800m are not related events. As usual, everyone is assuming that great 400m speed translates into a fantastic 800m time.
It ain't necessarily so.
We've seen it time and time again - 400m runners moving up to the 800m and doing OK, but not that well. (I know there are exceptions, but this is the rule. So don't even bother mentioning them).
The 800m and 1500m are more closely related than the 400m and 800m.
Most very good 800m runners are actually better at moving up to the 1500m than moving down to the 400m. How many 800m can move down to the 4 x 400m relay and have one of the best splits in the race!?
I think Laura can be quite good at both events, but is more naturally a 400m runner who has been moved up to the 800m. I'm not sure she can be top 3 USA at either, but I'd put her in the 400m.
...and I don't think there were any non-400m runners who had a better split than her in the 4 x 400m relay.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
Jack, she won two state high school XC championships. She appears to be the relatively rare type that crosses the 400/800 line. I think that she is more like the new WR-holder in the 800; good 400 wheels, but stronger in the 800. I think her 800 PR is better than her 100/200/400 PR even though she ran those races a lot of times (but I am guessing here).
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
She also won four 100m and 200m state championships.
But otherwise I agree with what you're saying.
She is a very rare talent that can run the sprints and longer distances.
But she trained for the 800m this year, and wasn't as fast as she was in high school.
Meanwhile, based on her relay running, it seems her 400m got better.
So are talents better suited for the 400m or 800m?
I don't think we'll ever know because she probably won't train/run both.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
What is Laura's open 400 PR? Is her 51.45 split the fastest split she has ever run? If I'm not mistaken, she ran a 52.4 leg in her HS senior year. I'm almost pretty certain that her 400 times have improved quite significantlly since her HS sophomore year, when she ran 2:03.08, which still stands as her 800 PR, unless she has a faster relay split that I don't know about.
The fact that her 400 times have steadily improved, while her 800 PR has stood still in the last 3 years, still convinces me that her best event, right now, is the 400. I say again, I think her path to a faster 800 is by way of a faster 400, or at the very least, more training geared toward both events. It is not beyond the imagination to think she has the potential to run an open 50.50-50.99 before she graduates, fast enough to put her in contention to win an NCAA Championship in this event. Next year should be very interesting; even more so if she decides to double, dependng on the schedule.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
I wouldn't put too much stock on her sprint state titles in high school. It was North (or South?) Dakota, remember.
She should give the 400-800 another year or two before focusing on one. Maybe nobody knows her best event yet.
Re: ¶NCAA w4 x 400—Texas A&M 3:26.31 (WL, CL)
My point exactly. That is why I believe her path to a faster 800 is by way of a faster 400. I think her coaches ought to bump her down to the 400, and see what that kind of training will do for her in the 800...
...Come to think of it, if she is running 51.45 on a relay with 800 training, can you imagine what she could run with 400 training? I could imagine her going a second faster.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
If she can't make the step up to the mile in Eugene, unlikely she'll do it anywhere. But she does have the Decker-like wheels to move on up to international class.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
She would do better to step down first. I like her potential better in the 400.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Agree w gh's points in this thread. The fact that she didn't make the 800 final at NCAAs doesn't doom her career at that distance. Seemed rather to be case of her being tired at the end of her long first season as a collegiate athlete. She ran 2:03-something at regionals, I think, which was close to her PR from OT in 2008. I think the 400/800 work she's doing now seems a good approach to developing her speed/strength at those distances, but -- reiterating my agreement w gh -- I think longer term her best bets are at 1500/mile. All of this, imho, of course -- can't prove any of it. I think that's what the future is for...
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Cooky and Jack, thanks for the voice of reason.
On December 22, 2009 I wrote the following: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38336&p=639566&hilit=dakota#p639566
-Jearl Miles at the age of 31 PB'd to run 23.03. It was the same year she ran her PB of 49.40. (btw, she ran her first 800 in '92 at the age of 26)
-In '07 Monica Hargrove ran a then PB of 23.54 she also ran 51.40 that year. Her PB is now 50.39.
-Mary Wineberg PB's 23.48, 50.24
-Jana Rawlinson-Pittman PB's 11.94, 23.60, 36.34, 50.43, 2:04.03, 53.22
-Pacemaker Karen Shinkins PB's 23.60, 51.07
Roessler was PLENTY fast enough to sprint on the college level. Reasons given a year and a half-ago
It is complete NONSENSE to think that Roesller couldn't have been a sprinter on the college level and quite possibly internationally! Her high school ability was no worse than the top high school sprinters at that time - or any other year! Roessler, Schueller maybe Prandini...this is the constant foolishness among board members and the high school coaches community of pushing the melanin deficient towards the 800 or the 1500 (But not Reynolds or Rogers; wait, you'll see). Oh, did I forget Jeremy Wariner?
Where were the deafening calls for Monique Hennagan, 2008 Olympic Trials champion who set the record of 49.56 at 400m, to run the 800m? Here was her '96 season:
1996: Won NCAA 800 (2:03.27), 4th in 400 (52.47)...won NCAA Indoor 400 (52.57); ran leg on 7th-place 4x400 (3:38.34)...won ACC Indoor 400 (53.64)...won ACC (51.44 MR)... 8th in 400 semis (52.50) at Olympic Trials...best of 51.44, plus 2:02.5.
1995: Won ACC (52.58)...hamstring injury shortened season...made NCAA final but did not compete (52.75 heat)...best of 52.32, plus 2:06.83 (800).
And for those of you who think she's a miler...you're smoking crack.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Her speed wheels are impressive -- for a middle distance runner. They are pretty ordinary for a long sprinter. She did not qualify for the final. Is it possibly be because (in addition to things mentioned above) she did not run a tactically strong race. I remember someone else that did not make the final in 2009; should he have given up the 800 and gone back to the 400 -- if so he might not have run several 1:41s the next year.
International 1500s are won with fast finishes rather than fast races. Last year's number 1 did not even go under 4:00 but she closed better than almost everyone almost all of the time.
Someone said, sure, she won the 100/200/400/1600/XC championships mucho times, but it was North Dakota. Give me a gal from California that could have won North Dakota's 100 four times, the state XC crown twice and all of the ones in between without, essentially losing a race. I cannot think of anyone that might have been able to do it except maybe for Mary Decker, and I am not sure that she was fast enough to run 12-flat/24-flat (especially training in ND weather).
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Hey 26mi235, dude you are seriously giving the competition in North Dakota far too much credit. I'll take you up on the bet that a kid from Cali could've done that, and a kid from Texas and Florida and maybe New Jersey as well.
Just say the Roesler kid is talented and has a bright future and leave it at that. But please, enough about what she did at some Dakota state meet. That's almost like bragging about being 6-foot tall at a small people's convention.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
5,000 and 10,000... she has shown she has long-distance endurance and shown she can kick on a world-class level. If the USA wants to compete for real medals against the great African distance gals, she is the type of talent that needs to be developed.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Name those that could run 24-flat, 11-high, win the state XC race both times, win 22 championships with, I think a single loss (plus an XC loss while in 7th grade). This has to be a pretty good high school sprinter who ran run well at 1600 and 4000meters.
If it is so easy, name all of those high school stars.
Here are the marks to beat:
100 Meters - 11.90, 200 Meters - 24.01, 400 Meters - 53.25, 800 Meters - 2:03.08,
Then has to be able to win both XC, athough she was only second at age 12 before she was in high school. and the 1600 several times (?). Now, remember they have to win the 400 something like six times in a row, not just one season, the 200 and 800 five times, but get a pass and only get the 100 four times because you are allowed to be second once and they do not have to run 10.90 each time, but they do have to do quadruples (win all four events at state).
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Those performances, in my opinion, are impressive for ANY state! She could have won any event she chose (among those 4) at last year's New York State Championships with those PRs. The fact that she ran 24.2 for the first 200 of her 51.45 relay split makes it obvious that she is capable of running even faster now in the 200; maybe fast enough to have even made the top 16 (23.27), but probably not the NCAA final (23.06). That just makes the case for her to drop down to the 400 even stronger. Did Oregon run a 4x1 or 4x2 this year, and if so, was she on any of those relays?
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
No, she was not on the 4x100. She ran the 400 once, a 54.63, and ran a bunch of solid 800s, including six of her top 10 ever. One of those was a 2:03.12 at regionals.
She also ran a 1500, in 4:42.29.
Edited to add: Roesler is a delightful young lady who would probably laugh at all this speculation.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
I find it quite interesting that you would say that, since you yourself have participated in this speculation as well...
...I think most of us have already made the case for why it is not beyond the imagination to think that she could be just as formidable a 400 runner, maybe even more so than the 800 or quite possibly even the 1,500, among the NCAA ranks, if not the pros. After all, isn't this what this thread was all about; to speculate on her potential in any of the events she has run, and which event presents the greatest potential for success for her, either in the NCAAs or long-term?
One other note: She wouldn't need to run sub-23.00 in an open 200 to run under 51.00 in an open 400. Jearl Miles-Clark could hardly run under 23.00 herself (her PR was 23.03), yet she ran 49.40. And Jearl is a perfect example of why Laura's road to a faster 800 is quite probably by way of the 400. Should I dare mention Jarmila Kratochvílová?
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
A 24.2 opening 200 is about a 25-flat straight or open 200 equivalent; fast but not that fast for a 51.5 (52.2 open 400).
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
If that 200 had come with a 10m fly zone, maybe it would be worth 25.0. In a 4x400, except for a few steps forward and looking back toward the incoming runners, you're as close to standing still when you get the stick. I'd say 24.5 for the first 200 in an open 400. She's closer to an open 51.8 if you add her 27.3 final 200, which is still impressive or a college freshman who (supposedly) specializes in the 800.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
It was my impression that a 400r is about 0.7 faster than an open 400, not a couple of tenths. Otherwise we would not have the 4x400 times that we see (about 2 seconds faster than the runners can run at that point in an open race). Others might want to weigh in, because the differential might be smaller than 0.7.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
It all depends on how fast you are trotting when you receive the stick and cross the middle of the exchange zone (the finish line). If you are slow coming out of that zone, it becomes quite conceivable that your takeoff from the blocks of an open 400 could be just as fast or even faster. That is why I don't give much credence to the .7-second addition or subtraction rule-of-thumb when it comes to an open 400 or 400 relay split. Same with the 800.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
This is silly; if you laze around you might be slow; duh. No reaction time, rolling start, NEVER slower.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
T&FN has been using the 0.7 figure for more than 50 years; have never seen anything to make me doubt it.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Let me see if I have this right? We're discrediting her sprint wins in North Dakota, supposedly because of a lack of talent/development, but we're giving her full credit for her XC wins? Why would the talent be better for XC?
26, If she went out in 24.2 then she's at least a 24.2 open! Why? (And I can't believe you missed this) Because noone is going 100% to 200m when running a 400m. In all likelihood she's running about .7 slower than she can at fly-in pace; it negates the .7 that you calculate. I'm fairly confident that she's sub-24, if it was important to her.
did someone actually post that she was a 5k/10k candidate? Staggering track illiteracy
It needs to be pointed out, again, that Roessler ran those times I posted as a Sophomore, the year she made the OT final at 16!!! Look at the athletes below and you can see that she was AS fast at 16 as some of the top sprinters from the region. Not saying that she's a candidate for sub-11 but it doesn't necessarliy make her a 1500 runner either!
-When Alison Peter ISV was 16 she ran 12.16/23.99 (PB was 11.99); her current PB are 11.47/23.08. She was 8th at 2010 Wjr with 24.09
-When Sheniqua Furguson BAH was 16 she ran 11.93/24.98; her current PB are 11.17/22.85
-When Jura Levy JAM was 16 she ran 24.18/54.89; her current PB are 11.16/22.95
-When Jeneba Tarmoh USA was 16 she ran 11.81/24.04; her current PB are 11.19/22.65
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Alrighty then, Vin and his staff are obviously blithering idiots for not realizing they have a sprint star wasting her talents in the 800. That explains why the Ducks have been so unsuccessful of late at the national level.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
i don't see her being sub 50 type in 400
but i do see her sub 2 at 800
800 is her distance, her 400 speed will serve her well there
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
Just because you have an incredibly talented athlete in AN event doesn't necessarily mean that they're in the CORRECT event. It's also much harder to determine with more talented athletes. It could easily be argued that Eaton could be an 8.80+ long jumper and win for the next 10 years but he's so incredibly talented in the multis that it doesn't make sense for him to move. IF Roessler were to run 50.50 she would EASILY be a candidate for every 400/4x4 WC/OLY team for the next decade and quite possibly bring home a medal!!! She ran 2:02 3 years ago, if she ran 1:58.00 in the next 6 years, there's barely a guarantee that she would make a USA team and less of a chance at a medal. If medals are an indication of how good you are in your event and she has a better chance of medalling at the lesser distance, then she's better at the lesser distance. It's really quite simple. Vin, or his staff, are not idiots but she's also just a freshman, he's just maximizing her preference - she is in that tweenerville where she COULD be an 800m runner. But to insist that an 11.9/24.0 sophomore is automatically 800+ is stupid. IDIOCY is thinking that she would be better at an even longer distance. Oh, that's right, who said that again?
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
But 2 minutes and 50 secs aren't equivalent benchmarks. 2:00.00 isn't even the A standard, while 50.00 will easily make the Olympic final, and may not be too far away from a medal.
Re: Which event for Laura Roesler? [split]
EXACTLY!! I'm shocked that veteran posters are not aware of the difference between the two events/times.

Ben Nelson has been carving out an interesting career niche for himself lately. What Joe Lieberman was to foreign policy, he's decided to become to domestic policy.
By now, you've all heard of conference committee: that magical land were a couple powerbrokers from the House and a couple poobahs from the Senate meet to decide what the final budget will look like. Yesterday, the representatives from both chambers were named. They are:
Senate: Kent Conrad, Judd Gregg, and Patty Murray.
House: John Spratt, Allen Boyd, Paul Ryan, Rosa DeLauro, and Jeb Hensarling.
In both cases, you have the chairman and ranking member of the relevant budget committee. That means Conrad and Gregg in the Senate and Spratt and Ryan in the House. The others are appointed to the process.
We know a deal was struck on reconciliation. And we know what that looks like on the reconciliation side. But what did it take to get that? Cohn suggests Obama made a firmer commitment to paygo rules. Which is strange, as his commitment to them was pretty firm already. Congressional Quarterly has a more worrying suggestion: That Kent Conrad extracted promises that the administration would let him start tinkering with Social Security:
One outstanding question is what Conrad may get in exchange for not standing in the way of reconciliation provisions.
"Would I want things? Yeah," Conrad said.
One outstanding question is what Conrad may get in exchange for not standing in the way of reconciliation provisions.
"Would I want things? Yeah," Conrad said.
First, a bit of background: Awhile ago, we talked about the three types of reconciliation possible on health care. The first type was a simple reconciliation process. The second type was a timed process where reconciliation would begin if the Congress didn't pass a bill by "X" date. And the third type was a threat to pass another budget at a later date that would include reconciliation.
Most of the amendments I've put up here today have been a bit galling. This one, however, is a pleasant surprise. David Vitter offered an amendment "to require States to implement drug testing programs for applicants for and recipients of assistance under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which would encourage healthy, drug-free families instead of encouraging dependent behavior or on-going drug abuse." In other words, welfare would require a drug test. If you're a poor child, and your mother can't pass the test, or is afraid to try, no welfare.
Everything I'm hearing suggests that amendment 735, Mike Johanns effort "to prohibit the use of reconciliation in the Senate for climate change legislation involving a cap and trade system," will remain in the final legislation. It passed with 67 votes. More on reconciliation soon.
Reader Myrtle finds a gem from Wyoming's John Barasso. Amendment 765 demands that "climate change legislation decrease greenhouse gas emissions without regulating carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, water vapor, or methane emissions from biological processes associated with livestock production.
I elided this earlier, but what the Senate passed last night were not binding amendments. They were, in general, instructions to conferees. Put simply, the Senate is building its budget. The House is building its budget. Eventually, representatives from both bodies will have to go to conference and make the two budgets the same. When that happens, a lot of extraneous elements from both budgets will be thrown out. For that reason, amendments passed during this phase act as suggestions to those conferees. Which doesn't mean they're not worth ferreting out: Every passed amendment is saying that this is what the budget should look like. It may be the case that Henry Waxman refuses to play along. Or it may be the case that their instructions are heeded by the conferees.
They say that an important fact needs a striking number. So here's a striking number: $1.7 trillion. That's what people on the Hill are telling me they think health care reform will cost over 10 years. It's a tremendous sum. Larger by far than anything the candidates admitted during the campaign. Larger by far than anything anyone has explained how to pay for. The public plan gets all the attention, and it's important. But if we can't pay for the underlying reform, there's nowhere to even put a public plan.
Over Twitter, Ewstephe unearths a very weird amendment from last night. Roger Wicker submitted a change to the section of the budget that funds Amtrak. "None of amounts made available in the reserve fund authorized under this section may be used to provide financial assistance for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) unless Amtrak passengers are allowed to securely transport firearms in their checked baggage."
In other words, if I can't pack a rifle, Amtrak doesn't get funding. This was passed by the Senate in a voice vote.
Stock Market guru Benjamin Graham:
Mathematics is ordinarily considered as producing precise and dependable results; but in the stock market the more elaborate and abstruse the mathematics the more uncertain and speculative are the conclusions we draw there from.
A lot of weird stuff happens when the Senate opens for amendments to the budget. Take health care.
From a talk Peter Orszag recently gave to the Association of American Universities:
The Lewin Group "Staff Working Paper" examining the feasibility of combining the Baucus health care proposal with Ron Wyden Healthy Americans Act is, on first glance, a bit puzzling. For those interested, the paper concludes that harmonization is, indeed, feasible. But that's not a particularly interesting result.
I try, when possible, to link to useful explanatory documents in the financial crisis. And this IMF two-pager on the basics of securitization is pretty clear. It doesn't do a very good job getting into the problems with the practice, but it's a very clear explanation of the mechanisms beneath it. In particular, watch how each step in the securitization process takes the holder of the security farther and farther from any actual knowledge about the underlying assets.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.

October 31st is usually a day of getting dressed up in crazy costumes, going to Halloween parties, going trick-or-treating, eating lots of candy, going to corn mazes, going on hayrides, going to haunted houses, etc....but for those who are Girl Scouts, October 31st symbolizes something more important! Juliette Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, was born on October 31st! In honor of her birthday, our Girl Scout troop is going to participate in a nation-wide project that was started by a troop in Wichita, Kansas. It is called Birthday-in-a-bag. Our girls have decided that they want to donate their birthday-in-a-bag to help a very special child! After they do so, I will tell you all about it! :)
Fall is here! :) I am so excited. I love this time of year! I love the trees changing colors, the grass dying (and my allergies to grass fading!), the pumpkin patches, the yummy food, the holidays, the weather....pretty much everything that fall has to offer. I LOVE FALL!
In celebration of the Girl Scouts 100th year anniversary and in honor of our hard-working girls in our troop, our girls are creating a troop cookbook that we are going to sell to raise money for summer camp or possibly some other trip. We are needing recipes! They can be any kind and come from anywhere. All contributors or recipe creators, please put your name how you want it printed in the book, your city/state, and if you have any Girl Scout affiliation (parent of a GS, leader, asst. leader, volunteer, current GS, former GS, etc.) and if you remember what troop, council, or city/state your troop was in, that would be great too! We need as many recipes as we can get! We need to start getting this put together and hopefully have it sent out for publication by December or sooner. We will be taking pre-orders and also will be selling extra copies. If you are interested in contributing a recipe or more, or if you would like to put your name down for the list of pre-orders, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. My name is Jami. Thanks!

Gear is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Ain't Your Daddy's Protein Pill!
It's finally here…the amino acid supplement that was a long time in the making. And we think it's one amazing supplement….so good in fact, we decided to call it GEAR.
GEAR is truly like nothing else on the market today. The concept is simple – not unlike amino acid tablets but FAR more concentrated, FAR more potent, and FAR more effective. It's actually on par with injectable amino acids. But it's portable!
Ultimate Nitrogen Retention
Way back in the dark ages of bodybuilding supplementation the idea of taking Protein pills was a pretty good one – pop a few pills here and there and get extra aminos. The old timers, with limited resources, committed to this tactic and got pretty good results. But at best, each pill was barely a gram of Protein and it's so much easier to get 30 grams from a modern Protein shake. So Protein pills fell out of favor. What we've done is mix some old school thinking with state of the art technology!
GEAR using a concentrated form of Protein that is both ENLARGED and FRACTIONED. In other words, each amino molecule not only encompasses more space, it's split into "micro molecules" which essentially increases the bio-availabilty ten-fold! So a single gram of Protein become more like TEN grams of amino acids!
Science Meets Simplicity
Anyone who uses steroids knows that they work by increasing nitrogen (Protein) retention. But few people realize exactly what that entails.
Without getting overly technical, Protein basically passes through the intestines after which, it's absorbed into the small intestine and eventually, the bloodstream. At that point it travels throughout the body into the various muscles and glands. When Protein is needed the intestines grabs what's available. THAT'S THE KEY! It isn't so much the "amount" of Protein you eat, it's what's "available " at any given time. More often than not, the opportunity for muscle growth is lost because, even though you ingested a lot of Protein, it wasn't "ready to go" at the time when it was needed.But now, with GEAR, you'll have that Protein available at ALL TIMES.
AND IT'S THE HIGHEST GRADE Protein ON THE PLANET!
That statement may sound like a lot of hype but it's absolutely true and we stand behind it. Nothing… I mean NOTHING, is a better Protein source than GEAR. We made sure of it.
Here's How It Works GEAR contains…
This is the main ingredient in GEAR and anyone familiar with this stuff will tell you it's nothing short of miraculous. Studies have shown than test animals fed a comparable calorie diet with Super Plasma Serum grew an average of 20% LARGER than those on a diet without it. How can that be? Because Super Blood Plasma Serum is the Protein that already exists in the blood plasma. It's instantly recognized as "useable." It's like if you added blood to your blood, there's no conversion -- whatever you add is "more." That's what happens with Super Palsma Serum. It's essentially, instant muscle! And since the actual amino molecule of SPS is FOUR TIMES LARGER than that of meat, egg or whey Protein it can be dispersed over a greater area of the intestines, allowing for maximum nitrogen dispersion. The extrodinary growth potential from Super Plasma Serum may also be due to the fact that it contains the highest IGF-1 level of any natural food source. This is the closest thing to actual "injectable aminos" which the pros have been using for years, BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST.
HYDROLYZED Protein CONCENTRATE:
This is another form of Protein used back in the days when serious bodybuilders would use anything in order to grow. It was called "pre-digested " Protein, with good reason. The essential aminos are already broken down so it requires no digestion. It enters the intestines instantly, allowing for immediate use. It was great stuff and worked well. There was just one problem. It tastes like rancid cleaning fluid! I mean, really, REALLY horrible. It's pretty much impossible to get down. But since it's in a capsule form, taste isn't an issue. You get the full benefit of this incredible Protein source directly into your stomach unfiltered in any way.
GEAR also includes…
Protein has many functions but it's the BCAA's that are directly related to muscle growth. It's the BCAA's that convert into glutamine, which is the main amino in muscle tissue. So why doesn't GEAR contain glutamine? Because it is so poorly absorbed orally! Whenever you use glutamine you're wasting 99% of it! The body was designed to convert glutamine from BCAA's which is why we use the highest quality peptide bonded BCAA's with a hefty L-leucine laden dosage into GEAR. It's pure muscle growth without waste.
WHEY FRACTION peptides:
This is a revolutionary amino acid complex containing high concentrations of Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulins in a "fractioned" base, allowing for the aminos to "split and separate." Remember, the intestines act like a huge sponge ready to take in Protein. "Normal" Protein globulins are like single shots, here and there whereas FRACTIONED aminos is a like a SHOTGUN, spraying a much wider area and allowing for more muscle growth. By creating "sub-particals" of nitrogen, the amount of surrounding Protein (from other food sources) is dispersed and magnified. This is a breakthrough potential muscle building technology. And just as an additional kicker, we added… Aminogen and Bromalain. Bromalain is a natural enzyme known to aid in the absorption of Protein. Aminogen helps liberate free form aminos from whole food sources. So when you take GEAR it'll boost the Protein and muscle building capabilities from both the supplement and the food you eat!
How to use GEAR.
GEAR is incredibly versatile. It can be use five ways.
In-between meals – to insure a constant flow of nitrogen to your muscles.
Pre-workout – to prevent catabolism while training.
Post workout __ to fuel starved, overworked muscles fast!
Plus, it's especially useful in enhancing the muscle building capabilities of any meal !
This may be the biggest advantage to GEAR. Let's say you're on the run and all you can grab is a slice of pizza. Pop a handful of GEAR and instead of a junk food snack, it's a powerkeg of Protein power meal! Each cap equals 1000mgs of amino acids but since GEAR is up to FOUR TIMES as potent, 5 caps is like 20 grams of whole food Protein! Suddenly a slice of pizza has the muscle building potential of an 8 oz steak! Ya gotta admit…THAT, is pretty awesome.
Don't let the name throw you. We're not saying this product works like a steroid. The name GEAR is to imply "a necessary tool." Even when using enhancement, you can't grow without Protein. It's the catalyst…always. And the more the better. When you use GEAR, you just increased your chances to grow more muscle, and grow it faster.
So if you want the biggest anabolic advantage you can get…you need to get some GEAR

I think once more people realize they can add superior protein with no excess calories easily throughout the day for less than 2 bucks a day, it'll become a staple in their ritual. With how difficult it is to grow just an ounce of muscle, it seems foolish not to take advantage of that.
AAAH me thinks this is a re post. However I will allow it bwaahahaaaa

Also, two of th ingedients, SPP and Hydrolyzed caseinate are super expensive. The SPP is $35 bucks a pound and Hydrolyzed caseinate (Pepto-Pro) is $30 per pound anywhere you can find it.
The ingredients are super expensive, and high quality. If this were just BCAA's then the price would probably be half of what is is here.

Can't wait to add these to my day!!Confucius say...
A ripped guy who eats a pizza, then does an hour of cardio is still ripped.
A fat guy who eats a pizza, then does an hour of cardio is still fat.
just ordered some and well see what type of maintenance i can keep with my pct by adding GEAR, im really counting on that positive nitrogen balance while coming off!!! wooohooLive Free, Train Hard
New-Man Nutrition
im a few eeeks in using them, i take 3, 3x day, early aft, pre and post workout, the added pumps have been long lasting, and its a great peice of mind ive got those nutrients in me working on gainsConfucius say...
A ripped guy who eats a pizza, then does an hour of cardio is still ripped.
A fat guy who eats a pizza, then does an hour of cardio is still fat.
will grear give me any sort of stomach upsets or gas ?
Great stuff. Very helpful when dieting. Positive nitrogen balance = PRICELESS
1) So you are saying you split an amino acid molecule in half or into its subatomic structures? If I am understanding this right (sorry, the info given is limited) you are creating carbon (glucose, ketones or both) and waste product ammonia intentionally? For what purpose? Unless your copy is meant in another manner you have made sugar/usable fat and toxic waste so I am sure I am not catching your meaning.
2) What are the ratiod uses of amino acids? From what I have read it appears to simply be another amino acid 2200 type product. Which is just fully hydrolyzed whey and has an NNU of about 18 % (the part used) and negative waste of about 82% (toilet trash and cytotoxins). I am sure you have corrected this accounting for enzyme alterations in a conditional environments so please do not think I am bagging on the product. There just is not much science to use for equations so I ask.
3) You state for the highest NNU you do this. Based upon the description it cannot exceed 18% out of 100% NNU possible.
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your reply Lad. Thanks
^^^^ bump for response
So, with question #1 matter of waste that is created from this process is entirely inaccurate. In fact no where in the original post is the word half even mentioned.
and for #2, and #3 the entire basis for the latter question is based on the guess that your #2 assumption is correct. Basically your assuming something and than making another question based off of that assumption. I would let him respond first before you ask further on something your not sure about.
My apology Need2, not directed at you. Actually asking your take on some pretty basic chemistry before the 2 kids who live for drama jumped in so now I am stuck and apologize in advance.
BTW Breezy, HumaPro can be taken with anything anytime and it will dramatically improve the NNU of the meal. Most want the how to get the best from a product info, not can I eat anything and hope for the best. As an example, if you ate 4oz of lean beef with 5 tabs of HumaPro you get an inproved NNU:NC ratio of 13.91g:19.14g so you get more Net Nitrogen Utilization than had you eaten the same amount of beef and a decrease in Nitrogenic catabolites. That is quite an increase in anabolism vs catabolism. So there are no rules, just best approachs. Thanks for pointing this out to me. I always give people credit for being so much more intellegent and there are always a couple that bring me back to reality. So, just for you I will go explain nutrient partitioning in the HUmaPro info (THank you on the real, I assumed it was common knowledge) so everyone can realize that they can take HumaPro with anything and improve the meals utilization, up-take, partitioning toward muscle and away from fat as well as leave less waste in the toilet. Guess I should have asked you two if you knew what 99:1 anabolic ratio meant in regard to growth, recovery and fat loss. So plan on lots of questions in the future! You two are now my go-to guys for what needs to be explained better...thanks! If you two get it, EVERYONE will. (Come on now, that last one was almost funny...cracked me up!)
(Okay, sorry again Need2)
Basically Gear is a remake of an old idea with inadequate amounts of anything to do anything except its 2 key factors...digestive enzymes that were popular in the early 90s that increased protein hydrolysis (digestion) to some extent but did nothing about the waste, utilization, lipolitic effect, repartioning or toxins.
1) 3 caps contains 2925mg of amino acids. Just over 60% are EAAs and not in a human ratio so at least half waste, and less is utilized. (Getting a bottle to test for actual NNU and content to be sure)
2) The human body cannot orally abosorb IGF-1 after 4-5 months of age
3) It takes 3g of Bromalain per day to show any increase in protein digestion
4) Aminogen is claimed to increase protein hydrolisis up to 250%. That means out of 100g of whey you now could utilize 40g...if you ingest 4g of Aminogen leaving a NNU:NC ratio of 40:60 and 60 grams in the toilet. Unfortunately you would need to eat half the bottle to get that 40g....but the good news is that Aminogen creates awesome pumps!
5) Plasma protein: Plasma proteins are proteins found in the blood plasma the clear, protein-rich fluid which is left behind when platelets red blood cells, and white blood cells are removed from the blood. These proteins play a number of important roles in the human body, and levels of plasma proteins are sometimes evaluated in a laboratory analysis to gather information about a patient's general health and specific health issues which a patient may be experiencing. Plasma proteins make up around 7% of the total blood volume with levels which can fluctuate at times. If its human plasma proteins its broken down in the GI like any other protein. Plasma must be IV to go systemic in origin form....ad the proteins that are not free form all compete with each other...but eventually work it out either as muscle, fat or...
You asked!
This is all the ingredients and their amounts:
Per capsule:
Super plasma protein: 250 mgs
Hydrolized Caseinate aminos: 100 mgs
Fraction complex: 100mgs
BCAA's: 525 mgs
Aminogen and Bromalain: 50 mgs
So 200 caps
Author Humapro really is a protein replacement, gear seems to be a supplement. So in actuality u could use them together. Gear can be added to ur meal and supplement or add some protein and you can use humapro as ur meal w/fats etc other times as u choose. So really its not a replacement for ur product just another way to try to make us,better. I hope u didn't think I was putting down ur product but know with some clarification it should be easier to see that now.
Breezy, please check your e-mail late today like evening please. Give me your feed back if you wouldn't mind. I have a lot of writing to do!
Wow, I have a warehouse in Dallas and a plant in Plano...and a home in Mckinney! I will be out in a couple weeks. Get Laina an e-mail addy and cell #, we need to do dinner. You can even try some of the new toys coming!
Don't trip, when you are the chemist, CEO and name on the label you get to be pretty thick skinned. We are good! Writing BTW....something to you soon.

If we "break the rules" of humapro in regards to the timing of ingestion relative to other foods, roughly, how much of the hp can we expect to not be fully absorbed?
Depends upon the amino acid profile in the food you eat with it. Say a whole protein like chicken and you would be in the 37-45% waste range. The reason HumaPro works so well is that it is a ratio matrix resulting in near perfect human plasma amino acid profiles.
Thanks for pointing this put Phillchops. There are several post I did of this nature on a couple boards and it does say in the copy and in Q and As as well as on 3 radio shows a few things to the point of best results are had by... But I was trying to make a point not make Breezy feel stupid for not doing the research first. Good guy IMO. Bottom line is ALL of HumaPro is always fully absorbed, its the other foods that are not though more will be thanks to HP. Make sense still?
Thanks Bro

So what is difference between Gear and HP?
I am asking this because you talk about taking the Gear in place of protein when your on the go. I thought that was one of the perks of using Humapro? (which is great!)
But i guess im the one who lives for drama....
Will be back in a second. And L ray thank you for showing up in this thread my friend.

Breezy I think you got the best and right Idea my friend. I must also add that my first reply to you in our pm conversation I glanced over the humapro product thus my reply was off base . At the time I could not give it the time that it deserved and for that I am sorry. Its a lot more advanced and interesting then I had Originally saw when I glanced over it.
It looks awesome.
L-ray please forgive the original write up that was in the store for this product. I am sure to some one like you it looked kind of gibberish like. I think its great you have come up with a awesome new protein source that is better digested by the body. I think Gear can be used "with" your new products to enhance the two and make a super product. Please let me try to explain, but forgive me as I know my knowledge is prob not on your level. Thanks
Protein is one of the best – and worst – understood macronutrients in the bodybuilding world. Every bodybuilder knows they need at least a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, but very little is understood about the quality of protein. That's like telling someone they need to drive 100 miles to get to your house, but not telling them what direction! Proteins are just long chains built up from "links" of various individual amino acids. Some of
those links are like titanium: essential amino acids. Other links are more like regular old iron: non-essential amino acids. .Joining two amino acids together
with each other forms a dipeptide, three joined togetherform a tripeptide, etc…Once we get 50 amino acids all joined together, we have a protein – the
chain made from all of the little links.
If we were making a chain, we want it to be strong, right? In fact, if we could, we'd want to make the entire chain from titanium. Well, it's the same when we look at a chain of amino acids…we want it to be made from high quality links. This is because the ratio of one amino acid to another determines the overall quality (or strength) of the chain. The highest quality, most anabolic protein sources all have an amino acid chain that is most
closely associated with natural human protein.
Gear is advanced protein delivery system And Nutrition octane booster. When you take 2-4 capsules of Gear with your meals, it not only provides you with valuable, high quality aminos, serum proteins, and fractionated whey, it also provides you with the bioactive enzymes your body needs to convert that protein into muscle. It's like taking a pill that turns every meal into a high-quality protein shake!
Once in the body, protein is broken back down into smaller peptides (dipeptides, tripeptides, etc…) and individual amino acids in the gastrointestinal tract, after which they're sent to the liver, kidney and eventually the blood, thereby raising blood plasma levels of amino acids – and when those get high enough, we see increased protein synthesis, which results in the accrual of muscle tissue. This is an anabolic effect – the
building up of new muscle tissue. As you can see, that the processing and digestion (breaking down) of proteins back into aminos is very important. If you're not digesting your protein, then your body isn't going to use it - which is exactly why we at Need2BuildMuscle.com formulated Gear with loads of high quality digestive enzymes, like Aminogen and Bromelein.
GEAR uses a concentrated form of protein that is both ENLARGED and FRACTIONED. In other words, each amino molecule not only encompasses more space, it's split into "micro molecules" which essentially increases the bio-availability ten-fold! A single gram of protein become more like TEN grams of amino acids! On top of this gear uses the power of super plasma blood serum protein.
super plasma blood serum protein, Studies have shown that test animals fed a comparable calorie diet with Super Plasma Serum grew an average of 20% LARGER than those on a diet without it. How can that be? Because Super Plasma Serum is the protein that already exists in the blood plasma. It's instantly recognized as "useable". It's like adding blood to your blood, there's no conversion -- whatever you add is "more". That's what happens with Super Plasma Serum. It's essentially instant muscle! And since the actual amino molecule of SPS is FOUR TIMES LARGER than that of meat, egg or whey protein it can be dispersed over a greater area of the intestines, allowing for maximum nitrogen dispersion. The extraordinary growth potential from Super Plasma Serum may also be due to the fact that it contains the highest IGF-1 level of any natural food source. This is the closest thing to actual "injectable aminos", which the pros have been using for years, BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. Super Plasma Protein is protein isolate and made from hydrolyzed beef plasma. Because of its high concentration of bioactive proteins, peptides, and potent amino acid profile, this protein has been used to increase growth in multiple animal studies.
When we look at proteins, we want to make sure the chains are made from as many high quality links as possible, because once the protein is in your body, your body breaks it back down into those same links, and uses it to produce more muscle. Proteins are in a constant state of synthesis, being built up and broken down. And if you're breaking them down at an accelerated rate, with intense weight training, you need to replenish them at
an increased rate as well. But when you go to the local hardware
store to buy a chain, you can ask them how strong it is (its tensile strength).
This tells you how much pressure the chain can take before it snaps. But try
going to a restaurant and asking about the amino acid chains in their chicken
cordon blue. They'll look at you like you're crazy! Most bodybuilders can
rattle off the exact amount of protein in a glass of milk or a 6 oz. steak, but they have no idea about the quality of that protein or the rate at which there body will absorb this protein. That's a huge mistake, and it's like buying a chain without knowing what it's made of. Who cares if it's 50 feet long, if it's made of paper?
Scientists have figured out a way to measure protein quality, just like they've figured out ways to figure out how strong different metals are. Protein Efficiency Ratio, or P.E. R. was one of the earliest ways they used to gauge the quality of various proteins. It was based on dividing body mass gains versus the amount of ingested protein: As you might expect milk protein rates very highly, while corn, oats and other plant sourced
proteins rank poorly.
Biological Value (B.V.) is another method used for determining the quality of various proteins. This method basically looks at the amount of protein consumed versus the amount excreted, with the logic that the rest of the protein is being retained by the body.As you probably expect, milk is ranked very highly in this system as well, while corn,potatoes and wheat are still ranked poorly.
Hold your jaw in place as you read what you are about to feast your eyes on. CHICKEN BLOOD PLASMA PROTEINS: PHYSICOCHEMICAL, NUTRITIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES - RIO DE REYS - 2006 - Journal of Food Science - Wiley Online Library .
I have attached the pdf file of the complete study for the hard core gear heads, however its simple enough for anyone to understand what they are looking at. Blood serum proteins have a Digestibility above 90% and a protein efficiency ratio (PER) of 2.8! . THE HIGHEST SCORE EVER. In fact off the charts. But the power of blood serum protein does not stop there. Read the next part.
"Addition of plasma to wheat flour for bread making at 2.5 and 5% levels raised the PER of bread from 0.87 to 1.67 and 2.02, respectively."
EXACTLY!!!!!! It just hit you didn't it? The fun is not over.
The problem with BV is that it doesn't tell us how much of that protein is being digested adequately, only that it's not being excreted. It also doesn't tell us Neither of these two protein measurement systems are widely used any longer, because they've given way to another measure of protein quality, known as the protein-digestibility amino acid score (PCDAAS). This is the most accurate method of ranking various proteins, and it's the one
currently being used by scientists and doctors. This score ranks the essential amino acid content of various proteins and compares them with amino acid requirements in humans.The amino acid that is represented most poorly is found to be the limiting amino acid (the weakest link of our chain), and that system ultimately determines which protein sources provide the most abundant supply of amino acids that match human protein needs. And
of course, this isn't just science, it's what we see in the real world too, isn't it. How many people get huge by eating wheat protein? Nobody. As you can see from this chart, the stuff that ranks the most highly is the stuff that makes all of the top bodybuilders huge –whey protein, beef, eggs, and milk:
But now what? What about when we add gear? Now you get huge of everything!
Of course, nobody eats a meal of just one food, right? People combine their foods at meal time, and if they're smart about it, they can make some of those poor quality proteins into better ones. This is why we always see vegetarians combining certain plant-based foods; rice and beans, for example. Rice is deficient in several aminos that beans have in abundance. The amino acid profile in one of the foods is lacking, and the aminos from the
other food makes up for it. This strategy of combining foods is exactly what we're doing with Gear, from NeedtoBuildMuscle.com – we've included Branched Chain Amino Acids as well asamino rich superfoods like Super Plasma Protein, a protein isolate made from hydrolyzed blood plasma proteins.
This strategy of combining foods is exactly what we're doing with Gear, from
With Gear, you can have a peanut butter sandwich, which isn't a great source of quality protein, and the digestive enzymes will insure that you're processing every single gram, and the BCAAs, Super Plasma Protein, and Whey Protein Isolates will "fill in" the missing aminos. It's like every peanut butter sandwich, every slice of pizza, and every piece of French toast becomes a whey protein shake! Unfortunately, a banana split is always going to have a lot of fat and sugar, but with Gear, at least it'll also have a lot of
high quality protein as well.
So we basically need two things from our proteins:
1. We need to be able to process these proteins and break them down into amino acids, i.e. we need them to be digestible.
2. We need to have the proper amino acid ratio, i.e. we don't want to be limited by missing aminos.
And that's really it. When we talk about protein quality, we're really only saying that they have a proper amino acid profile, and to be digestible. And when we talk about Gear, we're talking about making everything you eat into a high quality, easily digestible, source of protein!
Humapro is of course a better form of protein. A protein that is digested and used better then most other proteins. A protein that already tops the Protein Efficiency Ratio and Biological Value charts. I would assume combining Humapro along with gear would simple make the most powerful protein ever known to man kind? protein that doubles the charts lol..
Again I am deff not at the same level so please forgive my feeble explanations at times. And again thank you for showing up in the forum my friend its always good to have a bro like your self around.
With this reply I think its best for me to digress and lock this thread. I would rather not have any more trolls show up hoping for drama. I know I can be respectful, and I know L Ray is more then respectful. However the two of us having a conversation I feel is sure to bring out the trolls. I cant watch my little corner of this forum all day and night and I know nether can L ray. We both have way to many other things to do and not nearly enough time to do them.

Notable Facts
The descriptors "tar and roses" are often used to describe wine made from Nebbiolo. An odd combination perhaps, but accurate. Wine made from this grape can seem overly tannic and acidic when young, but as velvety as rose petals when mature. It's a grape with the toughness of tar and earth, yet with a soft, floral character keeping it balanced. Many winemakers create approachable-while-young wines from Nebbiolo, like Nebbiolo d'Alba. These affordable representations of Nebbiolo can be quite delicious and give the drinker a preview of the intricacies and complexity that a mature Barolo/Barbaresco can provide.
Summing it up
Successful Sites:
Piedmont and other Northern Italy
Common descriptors:
Tar, roses, violets, blackberry, wild cherry, truffles

June 4&5: Last chance to enjoy Reclaiming Our Heritage weekend at VA
Sad but true, June 4th & 5th marks the 10th and final Reclaiming Our Heritage weekend at Milwaukee's VA Medical Center. (5000 W. National Ave. behind Miller Park) As the JSOnline reported in March, "In some respects the event is a victim of its popularity." The article mentioned that the reenactment weekend grew from just 50 reenactors with around 3,000 visitors in 2002 to hosting 700 war re-enactors and over 10,000 visitors last year.
I have been to a few Civil War reenactor events around the country, but Reclaiming Our Heritage was unique in that it hosted reenactors from many war eras at the same time: Pre Civil War, Civil War, WWI, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Iraq.
However, one drawback to all that variety is that all those groups need open space to set up their camps and conduct Living History demonstrations. And with the the VAs new building plans, vacant areas, large enough to house all those reenactor camps, is said to become too scarce for future events. (Many of the reenactors actually live in their camps for the weekend.)
So attend if you can, because this is your last chance to experience this Living History event at such a history rich location as the VA and National Cemetery.
Reclaiming Our Heritage is billed as Family Friendly and Positively Patriotic and seems to include events of interest for the whole family: plenty of music, dancing, fashions, soldier reenactments and demos, church services on Sunday, and more. Check out the Reclaiming Our Heritage events page for specifics.
The event is FREE, and activities begin at 9am both days.

Watching Perry and Pawlenty for President
Though Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said no to running for president for some time now, it would seem he might be reconsidering. (I hope, I hope.) The Wall Street Journal dangled the slim possibility of Perry entering the 2012 race in New Whispers of Perry 2012 Bid.
"...over the past two weeks, political advisers and friends say, Mr. Perry has changed his tune on a possible presidential campaign. In private conversations, they say, the three-term governor said he worries that the current GOP contenders have yet to stir real excitement within the party and may struggle when facing President Barack Obama.
Sweet 'n creamy coleslaw made easy
Good coleslaw is hard to find. Many people think it is even harder to make! Even at many delis and restaurants*, what passes for coleslaw runs the gamut of being just shredded cabbage and heavy cream (had that several times on the west coast) to something resembling cubed cabbage hearts with a horseradish-like bite--so disappointing. Some people just give up trying.
But if you love coleslaw as much as I do, don't throw in the towel. Give this simple recipe a try.
I make my coleslaw dressing from 4 basic ingredients in equal parts: mayo, cider vinegar, sugar, and cream (either sour cream, light sour cream, heavy cream, or half and half). If you don't want to use any dairy products, you can eliminate it altogether and still have a very acceptable coleslaw. Just use the mayo, sugar and vinegar in equal parts.
The Recipe: Makes enough for 4
1/2 head green cabbage
1-3 carrots (Carrots do give it an orange tint)
1/3 C mayonnaise--I usually use a sweet Miracle-whip type (Aldi's whipped type works great) or other mayos. Depending on the type used, it will change the taste a bit. I have used the olive oil light or other light varieties successfully, but never tried real or no fat types.
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C cider vinegar
1/3 C cream of some sort Usually this is 1/2 and 1/2 or lite sour cream for me
1/4 t. salt or to taste
scant 1/4 t. celery seed--optional
1. I mix the dressing in the bowl I will serve the coleslaw in--that way I don't dirty an extra dish!
2. Measure the ingredients into the bowl and stir around until mixed. (In time, you won't even have to measure. I just put blops of each of the main 4 ingredients and estimate the salt and celery seed.) I did actually measure the ingredients listed above though.
3. Remove the dark green leaves and wash the cabbage, then slice.
You can use a food processor, mandolin shredder (watch those fingers--yes, that is the voice of experience), or a very sharp knife. For a batch this size, I just use my trusty Cutco knife and slice as thin as possible, then coarsely cross cut the shreds. The shred size of coleslaw is a individual preference. You can use the bagged shredded coleslaw or broccoli slaw if you want, but I avoid it. I believe you lose nutritional value when veggies are peeled or cut in advance.
4. Place shredded cabbage in bowl on top of dressing.
5. Peel the carrots and coarsely grate with food processor or hand held grater. If using hand held one, I place that right on top of the cabbage in the bowl and grate directly onto the slaw. (That way I avoid cleaning up the carrot juice on the cutting board!)
If serving later in the day or next, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. If you are taking to a picnic, pour the dressing into a jar or container with a tight lid, then mix it with the cabbage once there.
When ready to serve, toss and mix well, and TASTE. You might want to add a little more salt, make it a little more zippy with more vinegar, make sweeter with more sugar, or creamier with more sour cream or 1/2 and 1/2.
Hope you give this coleslaw a try. I have found that even kids like it--must be all the sugar! Once I made it with red cabbage and called it Barney-slaw. (It turns the color of Barney!)
You can add some a little shredded red cabbage for color, little pieces of sweet pickle, pineapple tidbits, snipped chives, or even peanuts. Don't be afraid to make changes and make it your own.
*Red Lobster and Chili's serve what I consider to be good coleslaw.

Transition: Student to Professional
11/05/2011 § 14 Comments
About a month ago I wrote a post titled: Some thoughts from a #n00brarian. The day that post went live, I was offered the position at my dream job as the Library Director of Muir Library in Winnebago, Minnesota. Unfortunately, I couldn't announce it because it had to be approved by the City Council, but that's neither here nor there anymore.
I have a job and I love it. I'd like to just play with the idea of my transition from student to professional for a few minutes. (Spoiler Alert!! If you're looking for a post about how easy the transition is, don't read this one)
- I didn't learn everything I needed to know while I was an MLIS student. I don't think this is a surprise to anyone. We all know there will be gaps in our education. Whose fault is that? I'm taking responsibility for some of that. As much as I tried to give myself a well-rounded MLIS education, I missed out on some lessons I'm sure I could have learned in school (example: children's literature – selecting fiction and non-fiction for the collection). And how am I now making up for that as a professional? Well, I'm reading a LOT of children's literature and I'm finding resources (people, books, blogs, etc.) to teach me as I go.
- As a student I was constantly surrounded (heck I even lived with) librarians or future librarians. There was always someone to bounce ideas off of. It's like I lived at Library-Hogwarts and got to practice my librarian-magic on other witches and wizards (errr… librarians) before heading out into the real world full of Muggles (errr… the public). Now, I'm lucky if I talk to another librarian (via phone) once or twice a week. That's partly because I'm in such a rural area – but I'm certain that the transition from student to professional is still "lonely" because you're not sitting in class or on the boards having discussions. You're working. Whereas it was nice to get away from homework and Tweet or check Facebook or write a quick blog post as a student, I find myself not leaving time to do that now that I'm working. I already know the library (and I) need time to talk to other librarians — which is why I absolutely love #libchat and try to get there every week.
- Some people told me (when I was a student), that when I hit the professional-side-of-libraryland I would get a huge wake-up call about being too idealistic and optimistic about the library its patrons because I haven't worked with them and I just don't know what it's like out there. Well, I'm on the professional side now – I'm still fresh – just a month into the job. But, I would say this to those people — I'm STILL optimistic! I'm STILL advocating for the library every day and I'm STILL going to give everyone who walks into my library a chance (even if I know their card is blocked because they have too many fines). I may not know how to develop my collection for children yet, but I am STILL going to help them find something to read when they come into the library after school. Frustrating days are part of life, but they can't ruin hope for the next day or the next day.
The former library director at Muir Library stopped in after I'd been on the job for a couple of weeks. She gave me a pin that has a beautiful globe on it and says READ. She got it at a meeting for the Summer Reading Program earlier this spring. I'm sure it is a generic pin that everyone received, but it means a lot to me that she gave it to me as I started my professional career. I have worn it every day since then. I am going to wear it until it breaks or someone gives me something better because it reminds to think about the big picture (long-range plan as some administrators would say). Whether I'm a student or a professional in libraryland, I'm always going to remember that the world is a big place and I'm just one person – transitioning from moment to moment – helping someone find something to read.

Thanks so much for this! Every time registration season rolls around, or I talk to classmates about their schedules, I worry that I won't graduate with the exact right skills and knowledge I need for my perfect job (whatever that might be). Thanks for reminding me I won't learn everything (how fun would that be anyway?) and that people still are finding and getting jobs they love. Congrats!
Inspiring. on a morning when I need it most.
Look out libraries! I'm graduating before the year's out.
Congratulations on graduation and the new job! And thanks a lot for this post – it's inspiring and just what I needed to read at this point.
This is a wonderful post. Honest and focused. Library school teaches us the technical, while we learn the practical from our patrons and colleagues. Keep at it Heidi. You will do wonders.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I have 4 classes left on my MLIS program and I truly felt everything you said. I so needed to read this today. I often wonder (and worry) about the transition from student to professional. My friends in the field quickly remind me its alot of on-the-job training because you never know what you'll need up doing. Congratulations on you're new career path. And thanks for the encouraging words of wisdom.
Heidi, thank you for this beautifully honest and inspiring post. Reading it made me realize how much I miss you in library(school)land but I totally look forward to joining you in the real libraryland very soon. You are doing (and will continue to do) great things at Muir. Take it one day at a time and before you know it, you'll have a moment or two for some Facebook Scrabble and a killer children's collection too!
P.S. Love the pin!

Congratulations Heidi! Very encouraging post. Like others have mentioned, I too worry about being well-rounded and taking "enough" classes. It's good to be reminded that we are always learning and gaps can be filled through on-the-job training. Keep up the optimism — it's contagious and definitely encourages others to look at library services in a positive light. :o)

American Express and Walmart announced that their Bluebird debit and checking accounts are now eligible for FDIC insurance, according to a statement released today by American Express. This will allow Bluebird account holders to receive government payments like social security payments and tax refunds through direct deposit, the statement said.
Bluebird is also going to offer pre-authorized check writing capabilities to its account holders, which will allow customers to balance their check book in real-time. Customers writing a check can get a pre-authorized code online or through Bluebird's mobile app and the funds for that check are automatically deducted and withheld from the account until the check is deposited or cashed, helping the customer avoid any overdraft fees. The program's new checking capabilities are built on American Express' Serve platform.

The Bluebird account is designed for unbanked customers and brings many features of prepaid cards accounts to a debit and checking account. There are no monthly, annual or deposit fees for the account. Account holders can deposit checks remotely through the Bluebird mobile app and can deposit cash into the account at any Walmart register. The account also features mobile P2P payments and the ability to create and control sub-accounts for family members from a smartphone.

Preppy is one of my favourite looks, especially when you have a bit of a subversive edge to it. Short of getting some dreaded deck shoes and writing swear words on them in tippex (hang on… I quite like that idea!) you can buy River Island's bright blue cardigan with contrast piping for £29.99. For the full-on preppy punk effect wear with aforementioned deck shoes, bleached hi-top and a confident swagger.

Zeta Stone Disc
Touch Discs are your all-natural solution to immediate, on-the-go pain relief.
The Zeta Disc is your all-natural solution to immediate, on-the-go pain relief. Using far-infrared, heat and cold therapy, the acupressure disc goes to work immediately on sore muscles using the healing properties of Zetathermide™. This natural mineral emits far-infrared, which works deep within your body to reduce swelling, muscle aches and pains while increasing circulation. The Zeta Disc can also help to control muscle spasms and reduce surface bruising.
Zeta Stone 2 Disc Kit Features:
- Zetatheramide delivers deep-healing far-infrared for on-the-go, consistent results
- Helps to decrease pain, swelling and bruising
- Increases circulation for faster healing
- Helps to relieve stress and recovery from injury
- Convenient and easy to use anywhere
- Can be used at room temperature, heated or cooled
- Can be used as long as you like without negative side effect
- Helps with acute and chronic pain
- Results on the first or second use
Zeta discs are an effective alternative to traditional heat and cold packs. They help provide relief from pain, swelling and surface bruising FAST. Simply place the Disc on your painful or sore spot and either hold in place or secure with medical tape.
The Zeta Disc does not need to be pre-heated or chilled for an effective far-infrared effect. They only need to be in contact with the skin. However, by increasing the temperature of the stone or disc, the far-infrared emission will be stronger.
Cold Therapy: Place Disc over ice cube for 30 seconds or longer. Touch Stones can also be chilled in freezer.
Heat Therapy: Submerge Disc in warm water at desired temperature – as warm as you can comfortably tolerate, but no hotter. Submerge the Touch Stone or Disc for 30 seconds or longer.
