TAOS, N.M. — The Northeast is famous for its autumn palette, but New England doesn't have a lock on fall color. Bright yellow foliage decorates many parts of the Southwest this time of year, and there's no better place to experience those hues than on a drive around the Enchanted Circle, an 85-mile loop in Northern New Mexico that begins in Taos.
"It's the aspens everyone comes to see, those gorgeous golden colors," said Jolene Mauer, a spokeswoman for New Mexico Tourism.
As in other parts of the country, peak leaf color is fleeting, lasting about two weeks. It's often the end of September and first week of October, but the exact "timing depends on Mother Nature," Mauer said.
Folks coming to Albuquerque for the annual Balloon Fiesta, Oct. 5-13, might consider a side trip to take in the Enchanted Circle. Taos is about 130 miles from Albuquerque and offers museums, food, and tours of the Taos Pueblo, a centuries-old Native settlement famous for its adobe dwellings.
You can cover the Enchanted Circle route in a couple of hours if you drive straight through. Looking out the car window will provide plenty of scenery as you wind around mountains, across valleys, past rivers, through small towns and ranchland. But there are numerous places to stop along the way, as well as a few worthwhile detours, so you can also make a day of it if you want.
From Taos, you'll drive through the wooded byways of Kit Carson National Forest and take in views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, including the state's highest point, Wheeler Peak (13,162 feet). The aspen gold is offset in many of the vistas by deep greens from spruce and other trees.
You'll pass through the towns of Questa and Red River, with a beautiful stretch through the Moreno Valley, then on to Eagle Nest, with a lake and state park. In the resort town of Angel Fire, you can pay respects at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park before heading back to Taos. And if you want to extend your trip, keep going northwest about 10 miles past Taos to the Rio Grande Gorge, where you can park and walk across a bridge for a view of the river 565 feet below.

Who the Heck is Martin Beck?

One of the most common – and most destructive – pitfalls in any relationship is the phenomenon known as projection. Projection occurs when we attach a quality, belief, motive, or feeling that we have disowned in ourselves onto another person. For example, to avoid feeling that we're not good enough, we judge others as inadequate.
Projection is destructive to relationships for two major reasons: 1.) It prevents us from truly knowing and accepting ourselves, and 2.) It prevents us from truly knowing and accepting others. In addition, the traits or feelings we have denied in ourselves have an unexpressed energy acts like a magnet, repeatedly attracting the "wrong" people into our lives until we're willing to accept both the light and dark sides of ourselves.
Frequently, we are unaware that we are projecting and are unaware that the very trait we are projecting is our own. A man who secretly thinks that his boss secretly hates him may actually be projecting his own hidden rage against authority. Or a woman who is feeling tempted to have an extramarital affair may project her desires onto her husband and become obsessed with the idea that he is being unfaithful. At one point or another, we have all used projection as an unconscious defense to avoid looking inward.
Embracing Your Wholeness
The essential nature of the universe is the coexistence of opposites. You cannot be virtuous if you do not have the capacity for evil. You cannot be wise if you do not have an inner fool. And you cannot be generous if you do not have a stingy person inside you. In fact, the most enlightened people are those who accept their own ambiguity and full potential for light and dark. As the ancient Vedic sages observed, "The measure of your enlightenment is your level of comfort with your own paradoxes."
The first step to stop projecting is to see when you're doing it. Negativity is a major clue that you are projecting, for projection is never neutral. It expresses itself as negative energy because what it's disguising is negative.
Contact your hidden feelings. The moment that you realize you may be projecting a hidden feeling, tune into what that feeling is. Don't delay because the opportunity will quickly evaporate. Just before you deploy your defense, you actually feel that which you don't want to feel. Ask yourself, What am I feeling right now? and notice the sensations in your body. Feelings are so named because we feel them in our body. Our mind may try to rationalize or dismiss feelings, but the body never lies. To connect with your feelings, you will need to be alert, wiling, open, honest, and courageous.
Make peace with your feelings. Once you are in touch with your feelings, acknowledge them. Don't attack them, bemoan them, attempt to change them, or even try to feel "fine" about your unwanted feelings. All of these strategies reinforce denial of your authentic inner life. Feelings have feelings, and they know when they are unwanted and will cooperate by going underground. Fear cooperates by trying to hide. Anger cooperates by pretending it doesn't exist. It's impossible to accept an unwanted feeling, and until you simply allow and acknowledge a feeling, it will persist. That is all you need to do. Tell your feeling, "I see you. You belong to me."
As you practice acknowledging your feelings, they will start to feel less unwanted and then they will begin to tell you their story. Every feeling contains a story: "I am this way for a reason." Be receptive to the story that emerges, no matter what it is. Most painful stories of guilt, shame, resentment, inferiority, and other primal negativity are rooted in childhood. Imagine the small child that you were and, as best you can, be gentle and accepting. Remind yourself that you had a valid reason for denying or rejecting a feeling or aspect of yourself.
As an adult, you no longer need to protect yourself from a childhood that is long past. You can now experience the full range of your emotions in complete safety, knowing that you aren't a threatened child but a magnificent spirit. The more you practice allowing your feelings, the more peace, love, and self-acceptance will expand in your experience.

The culinary story of Loudoun includes a thriving wine industry and foods as diverse as the land that grows them. The Touring Guide to DC's Wine Country: Loudoun, Virginia is a144-page booklet designed to guide you along your journey of Loudoun's food and wine experiences.
In the guide, Loudoun's twenty-two wineries have been divided into five driving "clusters." Each drive is an experience in itself, along winding roads and up mountainsides, past horse farms and historic estates, and beside miles of stone stacked fences. Every cluster includes driving directions so you can focus on the scenery. The guide also provides suggested spots to pick up to-go goodies along the way and makes sure you also know where to stop when you get a chocolate craving!
Along your journey, learn about the owners and winemakers, the history of the land and its structures, and what makes each winery in Loudoun unique. Sample the wines the author of the guide suggests and use it to make your own tasting notes – after all, wine tasting is as personal as winemaking. And while you're breathing in the aroma of years of winemaking experience, stop to admire each winery's breathtaking backdrop, many with vineyards set against beautiful rolling hills, and painted by the colors of the seasons.
At the end of each cluster, the guide directs you to the perfect culinary ending to your day in DC's Wine Country, a dinner at one of Loudoun's Destination Restaurants. In a nomination and juried process, these establishments were selected based on the unique, authentic, and cultural experience they provide, the quality of their product, the use of locally grown ingredients, and their appeal as a local favorite.
Five cluster experiences, for one to five days, or five separate trips. Come and share a taste of Loudoun, DC's Wine Country, again and again.

Huard: 'Would feel better' if QB Lindley started
The Cardinals have lost their last eight games while the Seahawks have won three of their last four.
After pulling him two weeks ago for rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley, head coach Ken Whisenhunt has named John Skelton his starting quarterback once again.
All the while, the Seahawks have been thriving with rookie sensation Russell Wilson under center.
So on paper, you would think the Seahawks have this in the bag, right?
Brock Huard, co-host of the Brock and Salk Show on 710 ESPN Seattle and former NFL quarterback, doesn't think that's the case, and the reason is Skelton.
"I don't like the fact as a Seahawk rooting desperately for the Seahawks on Sunday to keep this thing going. I don't like the fact that Skelton is getting another lease on life," Huard said on Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo.
Huard mentioned that Skelton has already started and won two games against the Seahawks in his career and feels that Sunday's game might be the quarterback's last chance to establish himself.
"If you are in his shoes, you have got to feel like, and his significant other and his agent and his family have got to be making sure he knows what an opportunity he has," Huard said. "You don't know if you are ever going to get one of these again if you're John Skelton."
Huard said that he "would feel better if it was Lindley quarterbacking" and that he was "surprised" that the Cardinals ever started him.
"To me, from a far in studying him collegiately and everything else, he was a nice player in college but he had a long ways to go before he started," Huard said. "I thought that was a move of desperation by [Ken] Whisenhunt."

The retirement thread
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
http://www.european-athletics.org/index ... 2&Itemid=2
Kjersti Platzer has retired. She was actually on the same team as Kristiansen at the 1986 European Championships!
Well, according to the article on the front page he is contemplating retirement and it seems like he is leaning towards it, but hasn't made a final decision.
I'm wondering whether the the exclusion of the Hammer Throw in the Diamond League has played a (minor) role in that process too.
Someone on another forum (who is Slovenian) said it could have something to do with his quest to get the country to finance top athletes after they retire from sports...
I very much doubt that. Very few, if any, of those meets had hammer throws anyway. He did not compete in any meet this year that will be part of the Diamond League next year.
I read another article that said his decision was due to "personal reasons."
That was last year when a lot of other events got the same treatment. Come 2010 the HT is basically going to be the only event that will be left out, giving less financial incentive. The WAF is also gone which was a possibility to get huge earnings compared to standard meetings Hammer Throwers were invited to.
As I said, I don't know if that was part of the reason why he is contemplating retirement, but I would imagine that financial aspects are also being considered.
Another miler calls it quits:
I, Christopher Lukezic, am officially retired. Peace out!
A couple oof LetsRun threads with too much of the LR junk.
[There seems to be a bit of confusion:
There is this later post by him (poster has a e-mail link, although not a certainty]
Christopher Lukezic

It was meant as a joke dude! You'd be surprised how many professional runners post on here in anonymity.
Ahh. I'll miss this site.

Has he represented the U.S. on any Teams? I cannot recall. Though, ran respectable times a few years back
According to a story on the T&FN homepage, Schwartz has switched nationality to Israel and aims to compete in 2012. Does anyone know if she has married an Israeli athlete?
On the subject of retired athletes, Rakia Al-Gasara has hung up her spikes at the age of 27 with some health concerns. "Her decision came after many months of medical tests," according to EME news (link on homepage).
If Jillian Schwartz's mother and grandmother are Jewish, she can get Isreali citizenship, regardless of who her husband is.
She competed in the Maccabbee (spelling?) Games, so it seems likely that she is Jewish
You don't actually have to be Jewish to compete in the Maccabiah games. It used to be that way, but then the rules changed as international participation waned. Additionally, as long as she can prove her mother was Jewish she can easily obtain Israeli citizenship.
Jillian is Jewish and not married. Israel is actively recruiting athletes with Jewish heritage to compete for them. There are others pending.
It appears that she was married last weekend.
http://in-the-arena-mike.blogspot.com/2 ... ltius.html
Can you point me to source that says that? I was not aware of that change and everything I can find on the web suggests that, apart from non-Jewish Israelis, the event is still open only to Jewish athletes.
can't point to a source other then first hand experience. Having competed several times in the Maccabiah games and been very friendly with several of the T&F athletes, I can assure you that starting in 2001 they opened the competition up to non-Jewish, Non-Israeli athletes by invitation. 2001 woman's 100 meter champion was from Turkey.
Baby on the way too!
Last weekend, Steffi Nerius has been elected German sportswoman of the year. (First track and field athlete to win since Heike Drechsler in 2000.) Steffi has had a great career and saved the best for last. World champion on home soil at age 37. Perfect ending.
Double mazeltov!

Re: The retirement thread
Noted in the FIN vs. SWE thread but... Frantz Kruger
Re: The retirement thread
German shot putter Petra Lammert has announced her retirement after numerous elbow injuries, aged just 26. She finished 6th at the Euro's this year but was the European Indoor champion in 2009 and finished 3rd at the Euro's in 2006 and 5th at the Worlds in 2007. Her best is 20.04 from 2007.
Another German to retire is Jala Gangnus, at just 24. She is not so well known, but got silver in the European U20 champs in 2005 and was the German champion in 2006, reaching the SF in 2006. Her best time is 23.24 from when she was 20 but again, injuries have wrecked her career.
Re: The retirement thread
Gary is a class act person and athlete.
Thanks Gary for representing our city, our club and our country so very well.
Your silver medal performance at the Worlds was thrilling to watch...now you can lift a pint whenever you want!

Re: The retirement thread
Strange retirement the one of Ruth Beitia. She is not that old (33 years) and is still jumping well (she was almost over 2.03 at the olympic games and cleared 2.00 metres twice this year). She is still among the best high jumpers of the world (still capable of clearing a personal record) so I wonder why she decided to retire.
Re: The retirement thread
Derek Miles and Danny Ecker just had their final meets.
Re: The retirement thread
a. to get on with 'the rest of her life'
b. training to stay that good is very arduous and time-consuming
c. to pursue other dreams (see a.), perhaps to be more fully involved as a parent (or to become one)
d. to actually make enough money to live on
e. tired of peeing in a cup for other people's purpose.
f. feels she has fully explored her athletic identity
g. has been accumulating niggling injuries that never fully go away
h. wants to start eating desserts again
that's the first several of 100s.
Re: The retirement thread
Beitia concludes her career with 19 national titles (11 indoors). She's headed to Rome for holidays. She'll then head out for some cycling and skiing. As far as her personal goals are concerned, consider that she's held the Spanish national record from 1998 onward, when she jumped 1.89m. She's been unrivalled in Spain. Appears as though she works as a Regional Deputy in the Cantabrian Parliament, and will continue along that course.
For more info on her retirement:

Re: The retirement thread
And to follow her, Anne Cibis nee Mollinger, announces her retirement, aged just 26. I find this a strange decision as she set a good PB this year of 11.17. To retire, at your peak while still young....me no compute

As the fall semester comes to an end, the Diamond Dukes took part in a unique team-building task coined the "Omaha Challenge" on Friday, Nov. 30. The activity included four separate sections designed to mimic the rigors of a run to the College World Series. This challenge required physical effort, mental fortitude and teamwork in order to achieve overall team synergy towards a common goal.
The team broke into four groups of eight while needing a well-rounded group in order to combat the tasks ahead. The afternoon began with a one-mile run, which was scored in cross country team scoring fashion. That was followed by a team challenge of situps and pushups. From there, the teams hit the field for a group activity of overcoming obstacles. The afternoon concluded with a trivia challenge.
After four "Gold Standard Dukes" (a status earned for high achievement during offseason conditioning) drafted their teams, they developed a strategy to succeed in the upcoming challenges they would face. "I started out wanting to go with team speed, but I also wanted team strength as well", said Colby Roberts, captain of the champion Black Team.
The Gold Team started off strong as five of their team members finished in the top ten in the mile race. Ty McFarland led the pack, clocking in at 5:06, with Cole McInturff (second), Aaron Hoover (fourth), Kyle Weston (eighth) and Conner Brown (ninth) crossing the finish line soon after. The Black Team finished second with Colby Roberts and Chad Carroll in the top ten, White finished third with Tyler Duke and Ben Garner in top ten and purple finishing last with only Tyler Carroll finishing 10th.
The second event consisted of each team executing a plan to complete 1,159 pushups and 1159 situps as a team. The number 1,159 signifies the number of miles from Veterans Memorial Park in Harrisonburg to Omaha, Nebraska, where they hope to compete in the College World Series in June. The key to success in this challenge was identifying the golden number of repetitions that each team member should perform in order to avoid exertion in the endurance activity. For the Black Team, that number was 15, a strategy that won them the event in the shortest amount of time with 25:56. Second was the Gold team with 26:08 followed by White in Third and Purple in Fourth.
The next event was the ultimate team-building challenge labeled the "Road to Omaha". This event required each team to build a road from the warning to the infield of the baseball field, using weight plates. The trick was, players could only step on the weight plates during this exercise, and not the turf, or else the whole team would be sent back to their starting point. All players wore their backpacks, full with all their game day equipment including their bat, spikes, gloves and helmets. Each team also had to pass a bucket of balls, a water cooler filled with water, a fifty pound sandbag and three 12-pound medicine balls down their line while also maneuvering over a hurdle with all their equipment. "Just watching them starting to think and getting their ideas and starting to talk and communicate", noted coach Spanky McFarland on his favorite part of watching the challenges. By utilizing communication, leadership, balance and strength, the Black team was able to finish first despite their initial struggles collaborating in the planning stage. Purple finished second with White third and Gold fourth.
Dukes Baseball Trivia was the last of four events and was designed to test each team's knowledge of the JMU baseball program and history. Coach McFarland described it as "taking pride in your program and knowing about the great players that passed". Of the 100 questions, some included JMU and CAA facts as well. The Purple team finished on top with 96 correct answers, followed by Gold with 89, White with 88 and Black with 86.
Concluding these events, the numbers were totaled to unveil the champions. The Black team edged Gold by a score of 24.75 to 23.125 and Purple with 20 and White with 19 points. The Black team, which included Colby Roberts, Billy Logan, Nick Merullo, Matt Tenaglia, Chad Carroll, Michael Howerton, Johnny Bladel and Bobby San Martin, was awarded with Gold Standard T-shirts as a result of their win.
The activity was the final organized event of the semester for the Diamond Dukes, who head into semester exams and the holiday break. Upon returning in January, JMU will resume team preparations for the season-opening series Feb. 15-17 against Coastal Carolina.

When Daryl Hamby took over at Weaver High School in 1999, he was pleasantly surprised to find his new basketball team sported frontline players who checked in at 6-foot-6, 6-5 and 6-3.
For a Class 4A squad, that worked just nicely.
After that, though, things began to change. Weaver had already felt the sting as Fort McClellan downsized in preparation for base closure, as the government's decision to move thousands of soldiers, civilians and their families to Missouri. When the post actually closed its doors, the athletics programs at Weaver, as well as other county schools, took a big hit.
'The next year, my biggest kid was 5-11," Hamby said. "There was such a drop in athletes. It was directly related to Fort McClellan closing. Most of the people had a dad in the military or they worked there."
Just before the base closure, Weaver moved up to Class 4A, which is in the upper half of classifications of the Alabama High School Athletic Association. The unfortunate thing for Weaver, however, was that the classifications are adjusted every two years, meaning they played in a big classification with a dwindling student population.
Schools such as Saks, Jacksonville, and Anniston were also hit by the closure, but Weaver seemed to be the place where the bulk of the military children attended.
"Weaver was the transition school with all the Army brats," Hamby said. "We had the majority."
Weaver principal Frances Shipp has seen the Bearcats adjust from a vantage point of coach, as well as administrator. She served as a coach for 16 years, stepping down when she became assistant principal in 1999.
Back then, Weaver boasted more than 600 students from seventh to 12th grade.
"As the closing began, we began losing students," Shipp said. "I guess the lowest point was about 450-460 students. They'd reclassify and we'd be half a student into the (next) classification."
After getting up to 4A, Weaver has dropped back to 3A and settled in there.
"It was very difficult," Shipp said. "It was a hard time for everything — everything short of our wrestling."
Terry Willingham served as an assistant then head football coach for 20 years, leaving in 1999. He witnessed many ups and downs involving military families.
"You'd have kids, then all the sudden a family would be transferred and athletes would leave," Willingham said. "You'd have no warning, no idea it was going to happen or when it was going to happen. Some did graduate, but most moved on before they graduated. Keeping them from seventh to 12th grade was very difficult."
Hamby said the school is still catching up to the losses from the closure in some ways. With the losses, coaches had to be creative in finding ways to win.
"In lower classifications, you've got to start developing athletes when they're young," Hamby said. "When we had Fort McClellan, we were blessed with athletes. You'd always have a good rotation. Since that went away, you've got to build athletes. You've got to see who's got potential and take them and build them up."
Willingham said the association with the fort meant there were certain things coaches just had to accept.
"You just go in and do the best job you possibly can," Willingham said. "If (players) are there and develop, it's fantastic. We had some very good athletes that we could win with, then in their junior or senior year, they'd move out and there was absolutely nothing you could do with it.
"It comes with the job. It comes with the area and school. There were other schools that had kids in there. There were other schools affected with it like us."
Shipp said there's been something of a resurgence, although that translates to just an additional 20-30 students, but doubts it will ever reach the numbers before the fort closed.
There was a lesson to be learned in how to deal with it, she said.
"You just worked as hard as you can work, get kids pumped up the best can and try to pull together as a team and give it all you've got," Shipp said. "You work hard and hope success comes from that and people don't get discouraged."
Coming Tuesday: Expatriates say Fort McClellan is a community they hope finds its way back to life.
10 years laterEditor's note: Wednesday marks the 10-year anniversary of Fort McClellan closing in Anniston and moving to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
In a four-part series, The Star looks at where we are and where we're headed a decade after losing what was once the economic engine of northeast Alabama.
Part 1: Our loss, their gain: 10 years later, Fort McClellan's move continues to bless Missouri

Too Many Black Belts?
So I had a conversation a little while ago about rank. Someone was saying to me that they felt a certain dojo had too many black belts. The implication was that standards were low. I am not going to speak to standards here: the last thing the anyone needs is yet another rant about McDojos and what they are doing to the martial arts. However, the idea of a dojo having too many black belts stuck with me. If you have been training for a while you have probably noticed that not that many people stick it out. For arts that use that ranking system, just before or just after black belt is one time where you see a lot of attrition. So given the turnover, and that it often happens right around black belt, it seems obvious that a dojo with a lot of black belts is giving them out too easily. Otherwise they would be rare, since people that stick it out are rare.
But that is bad math. Bad statistics, really. How many people stick it out in general does not matter. You are not looking at the entire population of people who have ever trained, but at who is currently training in a given dojo. If a dojo is a good one, and by this I mean one where there is a solid knowledge base, good teaching methods, high standards, and a collaborative atmosphere, there should be a high percentage of black belts. If the knowledge base and atmosphere are good people will stay. Not all. Maybe not even many. But some will stay. And unless the teaching is bad they will learn. And since 1st degree black belt is a relatively junior rank, they should eventually become black belts.
People that stay learn, and are (eventually) black belts. People that leave leave, and are therefore not counted when looking at who is currently training. So at any given time only the newer members will not be black belts. The statistics are simple: in a well established dojo with high standards you should see a large proportion of black belts. If not, it means either no one is staying, or no one is learning. And that would not be a good dojo.
Kodokan Boston in the Blogosphere
as you may have gathered by the last post, the new Kodokan Boston website is more than a dojo site. While we will certainly be using our blog for news and information for dojo members and announcements of upcoming dojo events (like our open training) the blog will also be a forum for some examination of the arts we practice and how we practice them, additional information on these arts, and hopefully the thoughts of various members of the Kodokan Boston community. We hope that people find these posts interesting! Please enjoy, and welcome to the Kodokan Boston blog.
Master on the Mountain
Everyone knows this image: the old master of the martial arts living alone on a remote mountain top, students coming to him for wisdom and training. His mastery comes from arduous training and an enlightenment that springs in part from his solitude. It is an image that plays perfectly into our "self made man" ideal, and I see it reflected in martial artists who claim they "just train alone". A nice image, but in my opinion it is nonsense.
This stereotype does spring from something. Training is a profoundly lonely task at times. Endless repetitions, hours spent developing strength, stamina, and mechanics, and knowing that while your teacher can guide you, you are responsible for your progress. No one else but you. That is lonely. Nevertheless, for most of us, and certainly for any real martial training, our practice is actually a profoundly social act.
Day after day, year after year, we come down to the dojo and train. Sure we also train alone, but we train with others. We are members of a dojo, or a club, or simply a group of people who share a common interest. We come together to learn, to sweat. We share our weaknesses, our failures, and our successes. We rely on each other for support, assistance, criticism. A group that is really pushing you will see you fail. They will see parts of yourself you like to keep hidden- fear, lack of faith in yourself, laziness. They will also see you succeed and develop. You have to trust them with your safety, and with your emotions. You have to be trustworthy the same way. I don't know about you, but to me that is pretty personal.
And it cannot happen alone. To push your boundaries in the martial arts you need people to work with. In primarily solo activities- strength training, forms, flexibility, etc.- partners help you push past barriers, show you where you are making mistakes. But while you may be able to develop strength, form, or flexibility alone, you will never learn how to apply them without partners.
Real martial arts are interactive because violence is a form of social interaction. In learning to deal with it you need to feel other bodies, deal with different weights, sizes, ways of moving and ways of thinking. You need to respond to attacks and learn how to manipulate an opponent, physically and psychologically. An imaginary attack is just that- it has no intent, no feeling, no heft. Without partners, the arts are a hollow shell, like learning a foreign language without ever speaking to anyone: how do you know if you can communicate? So training is, has to be, social.
And that is a good thing. While the ideal seems cool- being a master sitting on a mountain alone- who really wants it? I don't. I would prefer a group of friends around me. We share sweat, pain, failure, and sometimes blood. We share laughter, achievement, and the pure joy of training. And more. We have dojo parties, go out for an occasional drink, know each others' families, share milestones like weddings and birthdays. If I am going to spend this much time at something, I want that something to have depth, value. If I am going to show that much of myself to a group of people, I want them to be people I trust and respect. People I like. They are my community, my martial brothers and sisters.
So when I hear about great masters or experts in the arts, I tend to wonder: who are their training partners? Who helped them get that good? Who do they continue to train with? Who questions and critiques them? Who are their friends? For me, who their friends are will show me more about them than their technique. If they have no friends, no training partners, and are sitting alone on a mountain, then I know all I need to.
Open Training!
Thank you to everyone who came out for our demo and open training. It was a fun afternoon! Everyone in the dojo did an excellent job, and it was great fun share some of our practice with friends and family, and to see folks trying a few things- chishi, hitting the bag, and pushing each other around in kakie! It seemed like everyone enjoyed it, and we had a great time.
As always, we appreciate the support and friendship of the community around the dojo, it is one reason we can keep doing this.

Fire Hydrant Flushing
The Mayfield Village Fire Department will be kicking off our annual fire hydrant flushing and maintenance program beginning this week and continuing through the summer months until completed, weather permitting. Hydrant flushing and routine maintenance including lubrication is essential to ensure proper operation in the event of an emergency. Streets will be posted at least one day prior to flushing. Discoloration of the water during flushing operations is normal. Residents who notice discoloration should run their water for a short time to ensure it is free from the normal sediment that is sometimes present after flushing procedures. It is advisable to avoid laundering clothes when the crews are flushing. Fire hydrant painting will also be performed as needed during this period. Hydrants will be painted with a spray on finish and a reflective stripe applied once the paint has dried.

Yesterday was our favorite day of the year: April Fool's Day! April 1 is about the only day we can play practical jokes on our friends and coworkers and not be unfriended (or fired!)
Celebrities like to prank their fans, too - though they have to resort to using Twitter and Facebook to pull off their jokes. Did these celebrities fool you, or were their attempts at a joke pretty lame?
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan - fresh off her trip to Brazil - attempted her own April Fool's Joke. At least we're assuming it's an April Fool's joke - she never really came out and clarified.
"It's official. Pregnant . . ." she tweeted.
Let's hope it's a joke. The thought of Lohan as a mom is pretty terrifying!
New mom Snooki confused some fans - and even a few gossip watchers - when she tweeted about her impromptu wedding to fiance Jionni LaValle.
"Jionni and I eloped! Here's a pic of the magical day!" she tweeted, adding an obviously Photoshopped photo of the pair in wedding gear.
"Mannn you fooled me!" LaValle joked back in his own tweet.
Mike Tyson
Champion boxer Mike Tyson is almost as well know known for his face tattoo as he is for his powerful punch. But, is he getting it removed?
"At the doctors office this morning. Getting this tattoo removed from my face."
"This is going to be painful," he tweeted.
Of course, it's all a joke.
"Ok. April Fools. There is no #GoodbyeMikeTysonTattoo," he added in a later tweet. "This tattoo is with me forever."
Farrah Abraham
"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham, who was recently arrested for a DUI, also scared us with her joke about a new bundle of joy.
"Big day for Sophia & I," she tweeted. "Were adopting a baby brother, Sophie is super excited xo! Adopting is a #blessing."
She later confessed to the joke. Good thing, 'cause the thought is almost as terrifying as Lindsay Lohan as a mom.
George Takei
"Star Trek" star - and Facebook user extraordinaire - George Takei incited rage among fans when he announced he's switching intergalactic franchises.
"Friends, I am thrilled to announce that I'll be starring in the Star Wars reboot directed by JJ Abrams," he wrote on April Fool's Day. "I'll be playing Master Ceti Maru, a member of the Jedi High Council. The new film, entitled 'Star Wars: Galactic Empire,' is greenlit and will begin filming sometime early next year. It is truly a moment for The Star Alliance."
Of course, it's a joke. Fans would not allow that.

I have a jailbroken 2g and downloaded a lot of apps using a friends itunes account. I want to be able to sync my iphone to my itunes at home (which I just installed) so I can create a back up. I also want to sync my contacts. Here's the issue:
When syncing apps, itunes says it is going to clear my iphone to match what I have in Itunes - yet I have nothing so it's going to wipe out my apps.
When syncing contacts, itunes transfers my info from the computer to the phone (rather than the other way) which deletes any new contacts I have added to my phone manually.
How do I create a back up of exactly how my phone is now (with apps and contacts)?

Each day, federal, state and local decisions are being made that directly affect you and your colleagues. Laws regarding animal neglect and abuse, small businesses and veterinary practice regulations are just some of the recurring issues.
National, state and local veterinary organizations, individuals, and society as a whole all benefit from the activities of volunteers. AVMA volunteer leaders can help shape crucial policies and procedures for associations and at every level of government, ensuring that the profession's voice is heard. Helping to make decisions and determining actions can also help you feel more involved, because you know that you are making a difference. This is your opportunity to make your association be heard and to enact change.
You may also become an advocate for the veterinary profession. Locally, you may monitor ordinances and offer your insight to local governmental bodies. At the state level, you can join your state veterinary medical association's (State VMA) legislative committee and provide input into the legislation and regulations that govern the practice of veterinary medicine.

The Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer is a Swing component that can display PDF documents. It is intended for developers who don't require the full API. The PDF Viewer can be installed as an applet, an application, via Java Web Start, or embedded in a Swing application. Printing, saving, text search, forms, digital signatures, and annotations are some of the many features available. The viewer can be tailored to include just the features you need, and is a cost-effective solution for those needing the features of Adobe Acrobat on a Java platform.
jPDFNotes is a Java bean component which can be integrated into Java applications or deployed on the Web in an applet or using Java Web start. It allows users to mark up, review, and annotate PDF documents online. Most PDF annotations and features are supported, including graphical, sound, free text, typewriter, measurements (distance, perimeter, and area), file attachments, and bookmarks. All PDF fonts are supported (Types 0-3, OpenType, and TrueType).
jWordConvert is a Java library which can read and render Word documents natively to convert to PDF, to convert to images, or to print the documents automatically. The library is 100% Java, so it can run on any platform which supports Java. It does not use any third party software or native calls, and can be run in a server environment or integrated into a desktop application.
jPDFWriter is a Java class library to create PDF documents directly from Java programs without having to install any third party drivers or software. It emulates the standard Java classes to print and draw graphics to reduce the learning curve when using the library and reuse existing code. It can create PDF files in two ways: PDF files can be created directly using jPDFWriter's very simple API (simply create a PDFDocument object, create as many PDFPage objects as necessary, draw strings, graphics, or any other elements supported by Graphics2D to the pages, and save the document), or jPDFWriter can extend the standard Java PrinterJob to create PDF files as though printing to a physical printer. This allows reuse of existing printing code and lets an application decide, at runtime, whether to send the output to a printer or to a PDF file. PDF files can be saved to files on a disk, written to a java.io.OutputStream, or written directly to a javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream to show in a browser when working within a J2EE application server. jPDFWriter is written entirely in Java, so application portability and operating system independence are not compromised.
jPDFSecure is a Java library which can digitally sign PDF documents and change security settings on PDF Documents. With jPDFSecure, your application or Java applet can encrypt PDF documents, set permissions and passwords, and create and apply digital signatures. jPDFSecure is optimized for performance and is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology, so there is no need for any third party software or drivers. jPDFSecure has a simple interface to load PDF documents from files, network drives, URLs, and even input streams, which can be generated at runtime or come directly from a database. After changing security settings, jPDFSecure can save the document to a file, a java.io.OutputStream, or a javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream when running in a J2EE application server to output the file directly to a browser. jPDFSecure is platform-independent and can be used in any environment which supports Java.
jPDFProcess is a Java library to work with PDF documents which can be used to deliver customized PDF content to your users or to process and manipulate incoming PDF content. The library has a simple interface to work with PDF documents and is designed to be integrated easily and seamlessly into your PDF document workflow. jPDFProcess provides the functionality found in many other Qoppa Software libraries, including printing, setting permissions and security, creating and assembling documents, digital signing, working with form fields, extracting text, and more. It can work with PDF documents from files, URLs, and input streams, and can save documents to files and output streams, so it can serve documents from a J2EE application directly to a client browser without any temporary files. jPDFProcess is platform-independent, and can be used in any environment which supports Java.
jPDFPrint is a Java library which can load and print Acrobat PDF documents directly from your Java programs or applets with or without user intervention. It is built on top of Qoppa Software's proprietary PDF technology, so there is no need for any third party software or drivers. Simply call the library from your Java programs, and documents can be sent to the printer.
jPDFAssemble is a Java library to assemble PDF files. It can combine, merge, or split PDF documents, and allows the addition or manipulation of bookmarks. It can save resulting documents to the local filesystem or to an output stream, to be able to serve the documents directly to a client browser when working within a J2EE server. jPDFAssemble is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology, so you do not have to install any third party software or drivers. It is also 100% Java, so it is completely platform-independent.
jPDFFields is a Java library for working with interactive PDF forms in both AcroForm and XFA formats. It allows your application to get and set field values, and can import and export to the FDF, XFDF, and XDP formats. It can also "flatten" fields in a document. (Flattening is the process of merging the fields into the PDF content layer so the information is retained, but as static PDF content.) jPDFFields is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology, so it is 100% Java and does not require any third party software or drivers.
A tool allowing the developer to create user-configurable source code templates.
A simple WebDAV 1.0 server.

6/24/2012 - BM - shreveport, LA
I only purchased this to be a bluetooth for my cell phone so I can not vouch for its music ability, or television, or movies. But as a cell bluetooth it is GREAT! Far superior to a normal, one ear piece bluetooth. I can walk all around the house doing chores while clearly hearing the conversation. Those on the other end report that they can hear me very clearly and could not tell that i was not speaking directly into the phone. A GREAT deal for the low price. I have tried several other standard one piece bluetooths, both low and high end,.. and i had difficulty clearly carrying on a conversation with all of them to one degree or another. This works better!

Artists you may like: Marco TezzaGianluca LuisiAlessandro Deljavan Farshi
Carlo Tamponi, flute
Francesco Bossone, bassoon
Stefano Micheletti, piano
Trio Hormus. Recently formed, these three artists had already worked together in the past twenty or so years in various chamber
music events tied to the Cecilian movement. However, their connections began back in their years of study at the Conservatory. It was
in February of 2008 that their musical "fellowship" started taking shape when they were all involved in concerts for the hundredth anniversary
of the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia to which the two wind instrumentalists (of the Trio) have belonged for many
Trio Hormus (from the left: Carlo Tamponi, Francesco Bossone, Stefano Micheletti)
The enrichment of the repertoire through the use of transcriptions or arrangements is dictated by a particular choice, with the aim
of exploring areas of timbre and musicality that differ from the traditional ones, rather than an objective lack of specific and original
songs. Even if in some cases the flute replaces the clarinet, or the bassoon the cello, or the piano the harpsichord, and this represents
a valid yet easy alternative to a choice of timbre, in other more difficult cases, the transcription of the score is a real challenge
for all the members of the Trio.
Despite the long experience of the three musicians, it is still a "young" ensemble'' which is ready to embark with enthusiasm on
a journey that started in the early 1800s, and brings one through the various musical languages up to today's new contemporary productions.
Trio Hormus has recorded his first album devoted to Beethoven, Donizetti and Von Weber for OnClassical while a second album is nearly
to be released.

At first glance, Monferno may appear to be outclassed by Blaziken due to his lower defenses and attacking stats. However, this NFE Pokemon has a few tricks up his sleeve that give him a niche in UU battles, such as access to Stealth Rock, Nasty Plot, and a unique base Speed of 81. The most important note to keep in mind is never to play Monferno like Blaziken—otherwise, you will just end up with an inferior Pokemon. However, if you make the most of Monferno's unique traits, he can be an effective sweeper or supporter.
This set is designed to set up an early Stealth Rock while putting heavy offensive pressure on the opponent's lead as well. While suicide leads are generally less effective in UU than in OU due to the slower nature of the metagame, Monferno sets himself apart from traditional suicide leads through his access to Endeavor. Endeavor sets the opponent's HP equal to Monferno's, so he can use it to bring bulky Pokemon like Uxie and Milotic down to 1 HP before he is KOed. Fire Blast is a standard STAB attack that lets Monferno deal damage before his Focus Sash is broken, or even finish off Endeavored Pokemon who decide to use a support move instead of an attacking one. Finally, Taunt is the primary option in the last slot since it can prevent leads like Omastar from setting up any hazards. However, Vacuum Wave lets Monferno KO faster Focus Sash leads after they are hit by Endeavor.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Since Monferno's bulk is essentially nonexistent, its sets should place all EVs in Attack, Special Attack, or Speed. Max Speed is usually the best choice to outpace the abundant base 80s, such as Blaziken, Venusaur, and Kabutops. If going mixed, a Special Defense-decreasing nature rather than a Defense-decreasing nature is usually a better idea, since the majority of priority attacks are physical.
Monferno has access to both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, but both of those moves are hard to pull off due to Monferno's frailty and relatively low power when compared to similar UU sweepers. Blaziken is usually a more effective user of Swords Dance due to its much higher Attack stat, but Blaziken doesn't have access to Nasty Plot. Nasty Plot Monferno is a rather nasty stall killer, as a +2 Life Orb Grass Knot has a good chance to OHKO Milotic after Stealth Rock damage, and many other common stall Pokemon will fall to either Fire Blast or Close Combat. However, Monferno faces stiff competition from fellow Nasty Plotting Fire-types Houndoom and Ninetales.
Much like its big brother, Infernape, Monferno can try to run a mixed set that takes advantage of Close Combat to OHKO Chansey. Unlike Infernape, Monferno is often too weak to KO even Pokemon who are weak to its attacks. Monferno has access to both Vacuum Wave and Mach Punch, but it is usually hard to fit these attacks on a sweeping set.
Checks and Counters
Defensive Arcanine is usually the best Monferno counter; he has Intimidate to buffer Close Combat, a resistance to both Fire Blast and Grass Knot, and Morning Sun to abuse Life Orb recoil against mixed Monferno. Monferno is so frail that ExtremeSpeed or Flare Blitz will usually KO him after one round of Life Orb recoil and Stealth Rock. As long as Moltres can avoid switching into Hidden Power Rock, it can outpace Monferno and OHKO with a STAB Air Slash.
Milotic is a good counter for most physical and mixed Monferno. She should beware of Nasty Plot versions, though, as they deal 84.5% - 99.7% with boosted Grass Knot. Slowking is a more reliable counter than Milotic due to his higher special bulk and Fighting-type resistance. Slowbro is also a good counter to Monferno, somewhat ironically—while special Blaziken has no problems smashing through Slowbro but cannot break Milotic, special Monferno usually has no problems with Milotic but cannot beat full health Slowbro. This is because Blaziken must resort to the 70 Base Power Hidden Power against Milotic, while Monferno is able to use the 100 Base Power Grass Knot. Against Slowbro, however, Grass Knot only has 80 Base Power, so Monferno's lower Special Attack comes back to bite him.

Comments On Jun 02, 2010:It holds just as good as some other brands I've used, BUT... The dispenser gives far better control of the amount, and the viscosity is higher than the other brands. This means it stays on the threads nicely while you tighten other bolts instead of running off the threads, creating blotches on the work bench.

Proposing Mil Levy Increase to Cover Infrastructure Costs
WESTERN SAN JUANS – With only a few property owners, a defunct golf course and mounting infrastructure needs, the owners of the beleaguered Cornerstone Colorado subdivision are seeking changes that would allow its homeowners association to provide covenant enforcement and design review services. The owners also hope to hold a special election to raise the district's mil levy to cover infrastructure costs.
Because Cornerstone straddles the Montrose/Ouray county line on Horsefly Mesa, two public hearings are now scheduled to take place in order for the Cornerstone Metropolitan District No. 1 and 2 to change its consolidated service plan. The Ouray County public hearing is set for Sept. 24 while the Montrose County hearing is set for Oct. 7. The move to amend the service plan comes after the massive 6,000-acre development, which includes a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole golf course, fell victim to the housing crash of 2007-2008. District officials are seeking a sustainable way to move forward out of that crash.
Clint Waldron, an attorney representing the Cornerstone Metropolitan District, spoke via telephone with the Montrose County Commissioners on Monday, when he explained the two proposed changes in operations: the first to permit the HOA to provide architectural review and provide covenant enforcement and the second to raise new taxes to cover the district's operating and maintenance costs.
"Right now the cap is unrealistic," Waldron said, referring to the current mil levy. "Overall there is a bulk of service including water and wastewater treatment services and the budget is just two thin."
Commissioner David White summed it up by asking, "Basically, you don't have enough operating capital?"
According to another district official who spoke on the phone, before the housing crash Cornerstone had an assessed valuation of $18 million, which generated $270,000 in tax revenue for the district. That valuation has now dropped to $4.4 million, generating approximately $70,000 in tax revenue for the district.
An increased mil levy would have to be approved by Cornerstone Metropolitan District voters. If it were to fail, Waldron said another possible solution would be to collect a new fee from every owner and "limp along until we can come up with a better solution."
It was approximately one year ago that a group of investors from Arkansas and Nashville, including the owner of The Bridges Golf Club in Montrose, Lew Thompson, purchased the majority of assets at Cornerstone, suggesting that the subdivision could have a brighter future. But last March, members of the Cornerstone Golf Club and the Cornerstone Homeowners Association filed suit against the development's new majority owners, charging that they have engaged in "willful and wanton" breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties and civil conspiracy, among other charges.
The majority owners effectively closed and stopped maintaining the golf course and clubhouse last summer and, according to the complaint, have "indicated they plan to put to private use" both the clubhouse and "the 3,100 acres of open space purchased to the preclusion of the owners of the Homesteads."
It is unclear what the status of that lawsuit is right now. Interim general manager of Cornerstone, Eric Feely, did not return phone calls by press time.

Those trucks have a data feed for the accessory. Best bet is to spend the money on the right harness. There isn't an actual accessory triggered wire at the headunit, the harness kit uses the data input and self generates an accessory wire.
