District 14A Special Election Announced
A special election will be held to fill the open District 14A Minnesota House of Representatives seat.
The seat is open after former Representative Steve Gottwalt resigned. Governor Mark Dayton has issued the writ of special election and Minnesota Law states that the special election must be held within 35 days of the Governor's orders.
Candidates who wish to file for the open seat have from January 9th until January 15th to do so.
If more than one person in a party files for the seat, a primary election will be held on Tuesday, January 29th.
Filings need to be done in the Stearns County Auditor's Office or at the Secretary of State's Office.
Polls for the special election will be open the same hours as the general election, from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Polling locations are also the same as they were for the general election.

I've put on over a stone. So how come I've gone down a dress size? How High Street stores are 'vanity sizing'
Drop a jeans size without trying: Many High Street stores are encouraging us to believe we are smaller than we actually are
Browsing through the reams of party frocks at Debenhams, a pretty dress catches my eye. Plucking my find from the rail, I waltz off to try it on.
It's lovely, but to be honest, it's a little pricey, and I'm not sure about the colour. I'm already having second thoughts before I get to the changing room.
In there I get a shock. No matter how much I tug and pull, the evidence is incontrovertible. The dress doesn't fit: it's as baggy and billowy as a tent. I've been a size ten for 20 years, but now I'm a size eight — hurray! I haven't had to lose weight to drop a dress size. In fact I've gained 1½ st since my 20s, when I was last this size.
A wave of happiness washes over me. Suddenly the dress doesn't seem so expensive after all — and lime green, which before drained me of all colour, has taken on a new, flattering light.
Whipping out my credit card, I purchase my party frock without a second thought. Rarely have I felt so good about parting with cash.
A quick survey of my friends finds that I'm not alone in experiencing the miracle of dropping a dress size without shedding a single pound.
Joanne, 43, has worn a size 14 for years. Now, however, she can slip into a size 12. 'I know I haven't lost any weight — in fact I've put on a bit, but it's really lovely just thinking I'm a dress size smaller,' she admits.
So could it be that the fashion industry — so often accused of pressurising women into trying to be an unfeasible size zero — is in fact doing the exact opposite? Is it colluding with us in vanity sizing — encouraging us to believe we are at least a size smaller than we really are?
Gemma Seager, who writes the vintage lifestyle blog retrochick.co.uk, says there is no doubt that sizes have got bigger with each passing decade.
'An M&S jumper from the Seventies with a 36in bust was a size 14. Now a size 14 has a 38in bust,' she says. An M&S skirt Gemma sourced from 1974 labelled size 14 has a 26in waist, which is slightly smaller than the measurements for a current size ten.
Tamara Sender, senior fashion analyst at Mintel, a global consumer research company, acknowledges that most High Street shops have increased the measurements on their sizing, but very few stores will admit to it. 'It's a feel-good factor for women to get into a smaller dress size, and psychologically it's hard to buy a larger size,' she says.
M&S says it 'tweaked' the sizing on its website in 2007 so that sizes 'more accurately reflect customers' body shapes'. A spokesperson added that sizing varied slightly according to cut and fit.
A Next spokesperson says the store changed measurements in 2010 in order to fit around the core customer size 12-14. In other words size 12-14 was taken as a benchmark and sizes were adjusted around that.
Pleasant surprise: Fitting into a smaller size can boost your self-esteem - but is it good for your health?
Both Debenhams and BHS said they did not keep sizing information from a decade ago and so were unable to tell me if they had increased measurements. All the evidence suggests, however, that most High Street retailers are guilty of vanity sizing.
'Sizes are substantially bigger than they were ten or 20 years ago,' says Carly Syme, a senior retail analyst with Verdict Research. But if getting into a size 14 instead of a 16 makes women feel better about themselves and gives large ladies greater body confidence, is vanity sizing really such a bad thing?
Well, yes, according to Tam Fry, a spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum. Obesity cost the NHS £5.2 billion last year; 32 per cent of women are overweight, 26 per cent are obese and the figures are rising.
'It isn't helpful for women to think they are slimmer than they actually are. If someone had to buy a size 16 or 18 instead of a size 14, she might get a wake-up call'
'It isn't helpful for women to think they are slimmer than they actually are. If someone had to buy a size 16 or 18 instead of a size 14, she might get a wake-up call. Obesity shortens life expectancy.' he says bluntly.
Mintel reports 42 per cent of women have a waist measurement of 35in and above, compared with 20 per cent of women in 1951 — the evidence we are getting fatter is incontrovertible, but this isn't reflected in what size clothes we're wearing.
Dr Rachel Pryke, an expert on nutrition and obesity for the Royal College of General Practitioners, says the implications for our health are troubling. 'The problem isn't that women are being pressurised into believing they should be a size zero. There is a greater problem in that women are being lulled into a false sense of security about their true size,' she explains.
Carly Syme explains that many High Street stores no longer do separate plus-size ranges (traditionally size 18 and over) because women don't want to think of themselves as plus-size. 'Larger sizes have simply been incorporated into main collections,' she says.
Down with Size Zero: Debenhams had a good response when they used size 16 mannequins
Next stocks women's clothes in sizes six to 22, Wallis stocks sizes eight to 20, BHS eight to 22, Debenhams sizes four to 26, and M&S eight to 22; in selected ranges they go up to 28.
Even the introduction of sizes six and four has been driven by the knock-on effects of this size inflation.
Waif-like size zero models might be in evidence on the catwalk at the top end of designer fashion, but they aren't making much of an appearance on British High Streets.
A couple of years ago, Debenhams trialled size 16 mannequins across some stores to an enthusiastic response from shoppers, who liked seeing plastic dummies that looked like them.
'Customer feedback was very positive and we are hoping to display larger mannequins across our stores in the near future,' said a Debenhams spokesperson.
Debenhams aren't the only ones displaying clothes on larger models. Sales of mannequins in size 12 and above grew by 16 per cent in 2011.
Quite simply High Street retailers are falling over themselves to reassure us that despite our expanding waistlines and rolls of back fat, we are lovely and curvaceous — not fat.
But we are in the midst of an obesity crisis, and we need to wake up to the fact we're all getting far too fat.
The sooner the High Street stops colluding with British women — now the fattest in Europe — in normalising obesity, the better.

From the Inside Flap
'What time was it exactly?'
'Well, let me think,' she replied, pausing for a moment. 'The milk is usually dropped off around five, a good two hours before I open up, and my usual half a dozen litres was tucked away to the left of the doorway. But the box was right in front, making it impossible for me to miss.'
'I see.'
'I was a bit annoyed actually and was thinking I was going to give the wholesaler a piece of my mind for not letting me know they'd be delivering outside opening hours,' she continued, her tone measured. 'And then, just as I was about to open the box to see if they were indeed the culprits, I heard ... well some kind of sound coming from it.'
'A sort of whine, I suppose? Very weak, like from a small animal or something. Of course straight away I thought; here we go, another wretched creature to add to the family.'
'You thought that someone who knows you take in strays was leaving another one for you?'
'Exactly. Everyone here in Lakeview knows what I'm like and that I can't say no.' She smiled a little. 'But then I thought well, at least this one was coming with a ready-made name. So I reached inside, already deciding that if it was a cat, dog, hamster or whatever that I would call it Doughnut.' She shook her head. 'But when I pulled back the folds and discovered exactly what I'd been landed with this time, I got the biggest shock of my life.'
'And what did you do then?'
'Well, I called the guards of course ... Frank was here within a couple of minutes, the police station is only walking distance but he took the car anyway. And I rang Jim Kelly too.'
'The local GP.''
'Yes. An ambulance too just in case, although the box looked well insulated and there were plenty of blankets. Still I thought it best to be sure.'
'Sounds like you were very clear-headed about it.'
'Not at all,' she protested, sounding a little nervous. 'Truth be told I was in complete shock. It was only when the ambulance left and Doctor Kelly told us that vitals looked good and there were no signs of hypothermia that I managed to relax a little. As I said, I doubted the box was there that long - and we all agreed that whoever left it must have been acquainted with my routine.'
'No excuse though, is it? I mean what kind of person would dump a new-born baby in a cardboard box on the side of the street in the freezing cold?'
'I know and Frank suggested that maybe the mother was hiding nearby, keeping an eye out, waiting for me to show up. To be honest I was so taken aback that I didn't think to look.'
'He reckoned that it was most likely a misunderstanding of some kind and that he'd have it all sorted out in no time. He said to me "Ella, for what it's worth, I think leaving it outside your place was intentional because if there's one person in this village who'd know exactly what to do it's you. You're great with kids and sure aren't you always taking in strays? This place isn't nicknamed The Heartbreak Café for nothing." She shook her head sadly. 'And while I agreed with him, I just thought that this was a lot more than a miserable old mongrel - it was a poor innocent little baby. And not only that, but this is a small town, a small community where people look out for each other - not some anonymous city.'
'I know what you mean.'
'So I had very little sympathy and as far as I was concerned there's nothing - absolutely no reason in the world that could justify abandoning a poor defenceless baby on the street. But,' Ella added with a heavy sigh, 'I suppose it's all too easy to play judge and jury until you know the whole story.'

I say head south to the most fabulous Bierkeller(s) you�ll ever encounter. If the weather�s nice, this is the best thing about Franconian beer culture: pedaling your way from Bierkeller to Bierkeller, not to indoor places or places with outdoor seating.
Lame-o Googlemap
Take the S-Bahn train to Eggolsheim. Ride from there to the Witzgall Keller in the woods just before you get to Schlammersdorf (B) for gravity-pour Witzgall Landbier (their "Kellerbier", blond, normally dry and hoppy), then on to Hallerndorf and the Lieberth Dorfkeller on the left side of the road at the far edge of the village (C) -- passing by both Rittmayer and Lieberth breweries, which aren�t really open during Kellersaison.
(I have the slightly longer, slightly more difficult route through Trailsdorf, but it�s a MUCH quieter stretch of road, and the view�s great, being uphill from the valley floor.)
Then you�ll probably walk your bikes uphill to the Kreuzberg, unless you�re used to biking uphill. It�s not that far though, so don�t despair. And it�s worth it: not only Brauhaus am Kreuzberg, but also Lieberth and Rittmayer have Keller(s) there. The former is the most traditional of them all, the only one with gravity pour (same beer as at the Dorfkeller). Then downhill to Stiebarlimbach and Roppelt�s Keller, with his naturally-gassed Kellerbier served from a 1000 L plastic bag inside a tank which is squeezed by an air compressor.
These places offer a really one-of-a-kind Bierkeller experience, moreso than the likes of the other places suggested so far, IME. Witzgall and Stiebarlimbach are the *definitive* Kellerbier(s), FWIW. Yeah, we all soil ourselves over G�nstaller, save that for another time.

I�d personally replace a number of those with a detour down to Geisfeld for the most excellent Griess Keller and the hit-miss Krug. Griess is the other definitive Kellerbier. The three comprise the holy trinity of Kellerbier.

The main issue I see, is hitting so many breweries will get you fairly drunk and it won�t be so safe to ride around.

Very good point about becoming betrunken! You really have to pace yourself. This is why I suggest at least two days...
You can ride along the canal from Bamberg, or you can take the train to Eggolsheim like I posted. At any rate, a train ride back would be most important. The ride from the Kreuzberg/Stiebarlimbach to Eggolsheim station is very level (except for the Kreuzberg hill itself) and quiet (except on Sundays).

AUSTIN - Bill Henly was right, and then again, he was wrong. The Dalhart coach thought it would take 16 feet to win the Class 3A state pole vault title.
It did, but then it didn't. But who cares? All that matters is that his vaulter and son, Grant, is the state champion.
"I don't think it's hit me yet, but soon, it will," said Grant.
"When he puts that gold medal around his neck, it will," said his father.
The Dalhart junior, who lost his left kidney and spleen to a vaulting accident just more than a year ago, completed a remarkable comeback by winning the 3A vault title at 16 feet Saturday morning at the University Interscholastic League state track meet.
Henly was one of five area 3A athletes - including double-silver-medal winner Kyle Atwood of Muleshoe - to capture medals Saturday at Mike Myers Stadium. But Henly was the only one to win gold.
He could have won the gold at 15 feet in what was a mediocre field. Only Henly and Breckenridge's Trey Smalley cleared 14-6. When Henly cleared 15 feet, which didn't happen until his third attempt, but Smalley failed to do the same, the crown was his.
"All week we talked about setting up our heights and making sure we cleared on the first attempt because we thought it was going to be so close," Grant said. "I messed up on the second attempt and I was scared on the third one. I knew I had to clear it."
After getting over 15 feet, a relaxed Henly sailed over 15-6 on his first try - "that would have been way over at 16 or 16-3," he said - and set his sights on a personal best of 16 feet.
Using a bigger pole for the first time, he hit the bar going up on his first try and came up short on his second effort. On the final try, Henly finally cleared the barrier in a meet, becoming only the third local vaulter to break 16 feet.
"I hit it with my back on the way up," he said. "It didn't feel right or real good, but I cleared it."
Atwood used a punishing finishing kick to grab the silver in both the 800 and 1600 meters. In the 800, the Mule sophomore was seventh with 300 meters remaining before charging past a line of runners.
He was in third with 100 meters remaining but caught and passed a laboring Chris Gage of Decatur to finish second in a personal best of 1 minute, 55.14 seconds. Crane's Manuel Esparza won in 1:54.24.
"I slowed down some the first lap so I'd have something left on the second," he said. "The last 200, I had a lot more than I usually do. At the 100, I still had a lot left, and I was thinking that if I want a medal, I still better go."
It was a similar finish in the 1600. Fourth after two laps, Atwood worked himself into third, seven seconds behind leader Tyler Stanfield of Crockett with a lap remaining. Atwood's furious last-lap kick sent him past Gage again and on the heels of Stanfield, who won in 4:25.24. Atwood shaved five seconds off his previous best in 4:27.65.
"This whole day went great - better than I expected," he said. "It's my first time at state, so maybe it's just the intensity of it."
Improving about as much as Atwood was Friona's Daniel Wiseman in the discus. Wiseman entered the meet with only the seventh qualifying mark at 162-10 but cut loose with a best of 170-4.
Childress' Kevin Keys benefited from a fall by Elgin's Nathaniel Garcia over the last barrier in the 300 hurdles to go from third to second in 39.77.
"I thought if I ran my race, I'd be in there at the end," Keys said. "It's a crazy race. Anything can happen."
In the girls' division, 300 hurdle favorite Amy Mills of Sanford-Fritch could not duplicate her area-record time of 43.8 set at regionals and had to settle for the bronze medal in 44.45.
"I got off stride at the second hurdle and went over with the wrong leg," she said. "I don't know if it was the faster track pushing me out, but my steps were not the same."
Sealy's Lauren Kershner won in 43.96, while Rusk's Krystal Ward was runner-up in 44.07.
"I'm disappointed," said Mills, also third last year. "I expected more out of myself. I put a lot of pressure on myself, my senior year. But third isn't bad. I'll take it."

If I were going to make this a longer series, I certainly have more folks and topics I would talk about from my undergraduate career. Back in the 1970s, I was very glad that I took courses from Ken Rebman, Ed Keller, John Summers, Dan Jurca, Art Simon, Russ Merris and many others. But I'm going to jump ahead to my graduate career, which starts in 1999 and continues for about three years until I get my master's degree.
Once again, I had a lot of good teachers during my second stay at Cal State Hayward, including Keller and Merris (again), Edna Reiter and Massoud Malek. It was also great to reconnect with old friends like Dan Jurca and Gary Lippman, as well as meeting and getting to know folks who weren't there in the 1970's like Tom Roby, Julie Glass and Don Wolitzer. But if I'm going to make this the last post in the series, it has to be about Dr. Stuart Smith, known at Cal State as the one man graduate program.
I took at least two classes a quarter during my second stay at Cal State, all of it math or computer science. I took at least one class a quarter from Stu Smith and sometimes two. He is simply amazing. I've never met anyone who knows more math than Stu, or does a better job presenting it.
(If any voters from the MacArthur Foundation stumble upon this humble blog, let me just say... Dr. Stuart Smith! Throw some cash his way. He deserves it.)
The first class I took from Stu when I got back into the program was Group Representation Theory, which is the major 20th Century addition to the greatness that is group theory. If group theory is about symmetry, group representation theory is symmetry meets orthogonality. If two lines meet at 90 degrees, we call them perpendicular. When we jump up into three dimensions (or beyond), mathematicians use the word orthogonal instead of perpendicular. Group representation theory was terrific fun. Filling in a character table is kind of like a sudoku problem, though with a little trickier rules involving both real and imaginary numbers, which when combined are called complex numbers. The great thing about a class from Stu Smith is that you get to find out where this very abstract stuff is actually being used, and group representation theory is very important to the study of atomic and sub-atomic physics. It's what brought the mathematicians and physicists back together after a decades long rift.
At Cal State, you have to pass the comprehensive exams to get your degree, so many classes were aimed at the stuff every grad student should know about algebra, topology, real and complex analysis. But Stu also taught classes in topics he found interesting, so I learned about Lie algebras and Lie groups, differential topology, algebraic topology, Lebesgue measure, Ferrers diagrams (another fun sudoku like field), spectral analysis and more. We learned the math that underlies relativity and the stuff that makes quantum theory so goofy, and why either relativity or quantum theory is wrong, though we don't know which one right now.
Stu told great stories about the people of mathematics, so we find out about a guy following a soliton wave while riding a horse beside a canal in England, about the great Von Hemholtz asking the muckymucks at Yale "Where's Gibbs?", about Sophus Lie and Felix Klein deciding over dinner one night that they would figure out everything about group theory between them, Lie taking the infinite groups and Klein the finite. (Lie got the easy half.)
I remember my classmate Jeremy Gross bringing up something Carl Sagan said, and Stu, casting some skepticism, said. "Well, Sagan smoked pot."
"Feynman smoked pot." Jeremy replied.
"Sagan smoked a lot of pot." was Stu's reply.
I could go on and on about my graduate classes, but I will end this chapter with my small contribution to the education of Cal State students to this day. We were studying simplicial complexes, which can be classified by their Betti numbers and the torsion that is found in the maps from one dimension of their component parts to the next smallest dimension. The method for doing this is creating a series of matrices and then reducing these to Smith Normal Form. (Not Stu Smith, some other Smith.) It's a labor intensive process, so I wrote a little C program I call sc_classify, where sc stands for simplicial complex. I showed it to Stu and he was impressed. It worked so fast that he thought I might be cheating, that the answer to the problem had been downloaded with the program. He did a second example to see that it in fact answers a difficult math problem in the time it takes to hit the enter button.
A colleague at Laney is taking classes up at Cal State this quarter, and he told me that Stu is still giving his students sc_classify to use in the classes where he teaches about simplicial complexes (and an important subcategory called pseudomanifolds). I'm happy and proud that I'm able to make people's work in this field a little easier, so they might have time to study the fascinating field more deeply.
This is the last chapter for now of Math Is Hard... And Then You Die. I may come back to the memoir at a later date.

KILLEEN (May 12, 2014) Police responded to a standoff Monday night at a home off Joy Drive in Killeen.
A command post was established at the Killeen Mall.
According to a Killeen Police spokesperson, a neighbor made threats against another neighbor.
When police were called, one of them refused to come out of their home and barricaded themselves inside.
The subject did not have a weapon.
The standoff ended peacefully just after 10 p.m. Monday.
No one was arrested and no one was hurt, according to police.
The Temple and Harker Heights police departments responded to the call to allow Killeen police officers time to mourn the death of a police detective who passed away Sunday after being shot in the line of duty.

The Franklin Institute held a VIP opening night to kick off their newest exhibit, Titanic - The Artifact Exhibition. The attire was business or yacht wear, the rotunda was decked out, so to speak, with rattan deck furniture, palm trees, and ice sculptures in the same vein that one could imagine them being aboard the great ship Titanic.
The Friends of Rittenhouse Square held their annual ball (that's the Ball on the Square, not the Square Ball) on Thursday, June 17th, a swelteringly hot night. Not to worry though, the tent in the middle of Rittenhouse Park was well air-conditioned. (For $700 per couple you bet it was.) Next time you walk through the park, note the beautiful flowers, lush grass, and numerous benches - proceeds from the ball go towards upkeep of the most popular park in Center City.
The Morris Arboretum's Moonlight and Roses gala did indeed feature many roses, and other beautiful flowers. Held outside in the gardens on Friday, June 11th , it was unseasonably chilly but still a festive night. Most wore garden party attire, albeit with wraps (or jackets filched from husbands) for the women.
The Philadelphia Zoo held a pre-party called The Animal Ball on Wednesday, June 9th for their annual Zoobilee. The attire at this high ticket, invitation only gala was exotic couture, which meant lots of animal prints. The swelteringly hot weather meant that many men showed up in shorts and loafers. They managed cummerbunds and dinner jackets, but the legs were bare.
The Children's Crisis Treatment Center held their annual Rodeo Roundup at the National Constitution Center on Friday, June 4th. James Ingram showed his support for this wonderful charity in a stellar performance. Supporters of the CCTC wore jeans and flannel shirts, red handkerchiefs, cowboy boots and hats, and other western-inspired gear. CCTC provides mental health services to abused, neglected or troubled children and their families, such as a therapeutic nursery, outpatient services, trauma assistance, and a West African Refugee Assistance program, among others.

This time of year, you can't open a magazine or turn on the TV without coming across yet another year-end round-up. Best moments, worst moments, funniest moments, best albums, best movies, best books—the list goes on and on.
All this reminiscing has us looking back at our 2010. Such a big year for us! We quit our full-time jobs as editors at national magazines, started our freelance careers, launched The Fit Trip, said goodbye to New York City, drove more than 4,000 miles across the country in a car named Fonda, and started our new lives in Portland, Oregon. Talk about a year of change.
2010 is going to be hard to top, but that doesn't mean we're not going to try in 2011. As you might have guessed, most of our resolutions revolve around our two favorite subjects: travel and fitness. (Ok ok—cookies are our true favorite subject, but we don't need a resolution to make sure we eat plenty of those…).
Resolution #1: Travel to sunny places. As you may have heard, winters can be a bit gray and rainy in the Pacific Northwest. To be honest, it's not nearly as bad as we'd expected—but then again, we still have a good 4-5 months to go before we can be sure we won't need our rain gear at the ready. Locals have told us that the best strategy for Portland winters is to plan vacations to sunny places during the gray months, so that's exactly what we're planning to do. So far on the docket: a January trip to Park City, a February trip to Lake Tahoe, and a March trip to Hawaii.
Resolution #2: Eat more fruits and veggies. We really do try to get 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day. Bananas and/or berries in our morning cereal, blueberries and bananas in our smoothies, a constant supply of clementines in our refrigerator fruit drawer, and edamame in the freezer that we can boil up anytime we need a quick veggie fix. Still, sometimes we fall short. This year, we're going to be on the lookout for even more ways to incorporate fresh produce into our busy lives. As always, we'll be sharing our favorite recipes with you, so stay tuned!
Resolution #3: Learn something new. Even the best workout can start to feel boring if you do it too often. The best solution? Try something new. In 2010, we had a blast learning to stand-up paddle board in Hood River, OR, and trying snowshoeing for the first time in Washington state. What will it be this year? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out!

i'm using Platform 1.3.9 by PageLines
i'm trying to center my header logo.
how do i add the header logo in css? what code do i need?
support for pagelines themes is at http://www.pagelines.com/support/
Well you can do it manually by adding some center tags around your logo area, In header.php file
are you using this theme: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/platform
put this code in
.branding_wrap img{display:none;}
.branding_wrap .a{
height: 60px;
width: 400px;
background: url("http://cdn3.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fugue/icon/question-frame.png") no-repeat left;
TimDesain, I tried that code and nothing happened. I add the logo through the wp-admin panel. But i'm not sure if it's centred?
What I actually want do, is centre my horizontal menu under the logo. I want the horizontal menu to be the exact same width as the logo.
any thoughts?
platform has been modified.
so, the code is not working
So, what does that mean?
Is there another way to do it?
Looks like I am not the only one having difficulty centering their header.I am using the Thematic theme ver. 3.4.1 just updated it today.I also uploaded my logo to my site and it is way off to the left border.How do I center it and where do I go to change or alter the code? I also have that horrid default text title I want to get rid of..any advice on how to eliminate that? anyone help, help, help!! http://www.ricksfitnesstips.com

I saw Jerry Bailey when I went for coffee this morning at the hotel. He wasn't leaving for another 20 minutes. This meant I was going to beat somebody to the race track. It was pushing 7:30 a.m. Anyone with any credibility gets there by 5 a.m. Hats off to those who did.
Those people didn't get to experience what I did.
Driving north on Interstate 83 out of Baltimore I closed in on a police escort of a horse van on the way to Pimlico. I knew the third choice in the Preakness, Sweetnorthernsaint, was arriving in the morning. I figured this was him. A small rush of adrenaline went through my bloodstream or bone marrow or into my femur. I was having a brush with greatness. It wasn't as cool as when I got to usher a Muhammad Ali fight in college and helped lead him to the ring, but helping usher a potential winner of the Preakness to the track was pretty good for a Saturday morning.
In front of the horse van was a highway patrol car, lights flashing. Behind the van was a vehicle that looked like a sawed off tow truck. I have high respect for AAA, but this vehicle wasn't all that intimidating.
I considered going for the pass.
It would be a careful pass. I'd do nothing to spook the van driver.
But then it hit me.
I should back off and let Sweetnorthernsaint lead the way. Out of respect for the 131st Preakness Stakes, no civilian should pass this Triple Crown Series runner on an Interstate. It's just plain wrong.
It was a little bit like the dilemma back home in Seattle at a crosswalk. If the red light is on, pedestrians just don't cross. It's not civil. It's also really stupid when this rule is followed at 11 p.m. and there's not a car in sight for a mile in either direction.
I didn't show restraint in honor of Seattle. I showed respect of today's sacred event. It's the Preakness. The same race won by Secretariat. The same ground covered by Seabiscuit.
I was backing off. I was going 54 mph.
The lady behind me is not a fan of thoroughbred racing.
She was bump drafting me for a mile like Dale Earnhardt. She'd had enough of my respect for the game and she swerved with haste from the fast lane across two lanes and made an aggressive pass on the far right.
The state trooper leading the charge was not amused. He jerked his wheel hard at the lady. He forced her off the road.
The lady was made to wait for another trooper to come along and be reprimanded severely for not respecting the Preakness. As I understand it, that's a $245 fine in the state of Maryland.
The motorcade exited one stop shy of where I was headed.
They'd cost me 15 minutes. I was back at 75 mph in no time.
In another five minutes time, I learned that the van I followed did not contain Sweetnorthernsaint.
He had arrived 45 minutes earlier. About the time I was ordering coffee with Bailey.
The 5 a.m. arrivals had a great view of Sweetnorthernsaint, who had a rough start to his day. The van driver tried to drop him off at the media parking lot and Sweetnorthernsaint carried no media credential. But he has cred. He's in the Preakness.
And I came so close to ushering him to the track this morning.

The Israel Ambulatory Pediatric Association is calling for an end to a controversial circumcision-related rite that is also under fire in New York.
Direct oral-genital suction, known as metzitzah b'peh, should not be performed during Jewish ritual circumcision, the IAPA said. The association is calling on Israel's Health Ministry to require maternity wards and clinics to advise parents against metzitzah b'peh, Israeli media reported.
IAPA is recommending that mohels, or ritual circumcisers, use a tube to take the blood from the circumcision wound, preventing direct contact with the infant's incision.
The rite is not used in most Jewish circumcision ceremonies, but many in the haredi Orthodox community still adhere to it.
Rabbi Chaim Moshe Weisberg, a mohel, told Haaretz that IAPA is not after the child's best interest and is against circumcision.
"They want all parents to stop circumcising their sons, as they did in Germany," Rabbi Weisberg said. "The cases of reported diseases allegedly originating from the custom are very few — and even then they can't prove it was actually transferred from the mohel. Only if a parent requests metzitzah b'peh, as people have done for 3,000 years, do we do it at his request."
The controversy over metzitzah b'peh was reignited in New York in March after it came to light that an unidentified infant died Sept. 28 at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center from "disseminated herpes simplex virus Type 1, complicating ritual circumcision with oral suction," according to the death certificate.
New York Health Department investigations of newborns with the herpes virus from 2000 to 2011 have shown that 11 infants contracted the virus when mohels placed their mouths directly on the child's circumcision wound to draw blood away from the circumcision cut, according to a statement from the department. Ten of the infants were hospitalized, at least two developed brain damage and two babies died.

great location great price
i had a student massage. It was pretty gd. The location is perfect in downtown chicago. Perfect for a stop while you wait for family to finish shopping..etc. I'd say, give those students a try!

Perfect for a quick after work massage
The masseuses are students who are perfecting their techniques. My masseuse was friendly, explained what she was doing, asked what areas I wanted her to concentrate on - just like any other masseuse I've worked with. The room was a perfect smell/temperature. She had a couple of things she could improve on, but I fully expect that from a student. I was very happy with the massage, the service, ambiance, and price. Next time, I would probably try to go without my heavy work bag, as afterwards, I really didn't feel like lugging the bag back home. I highly recommend Cortiva - it's an awesome way to help those students get the experience they need to continue to improve their skills!

Best massage! Better price!
I visited cortiva not too long ago and I have to say I will definitely return! Everything from the costumer service to the atmosphere was above and beyond what I expected. I decided to go with the student 1 hour massage b/c it was affordable but I had no idea it would be such a great massage. I scheduled another appointment and will be telling all my friends about this place.

Welcome to San Francisco!!

Reviews From Guests
Golf and her staff were amazing, always friendly and helpful without being over the top. Breakfast was great and a real bonus, kept us going all day without needing lunch. Apartment was ideal for us and spotlessly clean. We will certainly try to stay again if we get the opportunity to.
Top!Super!Extreme Good Host! We can recommend this BB, because all the facilities you expected are there. The place is superclean, safe and we love the owners, who also runs the Art Bistro downstairs, where you 'll have your super breakfast. The BB is at the intersection of several public buslines, so easy to get around. Nice neigbourhood. We had a no show issue with a airport shuttle service, who forgot to pick us up. Our host did everything to solve this issue for us, so we were just in time to catch our next flight. Dear Golf we appreciate this at the most. You made the good feelings we had about San Francisco remains. If we visit SF again, this BB will be our home.
Excellent. Sometimes we had a little trouble to park on the street, nothing that we couldn't solve at the end. Anyway, there are buses going everywhere from your door so you can leave the car parked all day long if you wish. Amazed by the cleanliness of the place. Breakfast was a big plus; Golf and his staff at the Art Bistro downstairs were really nice, they look like happy hard working people. We'll be at Golf's again for sure our next time in SF.
Me and my mom we had an awesome time living in Golf's Studio appartment! Thought it was only for 4 nights, we felt at home right away. It was nice to have your own flat with all the amenities it provides. Golf's appartment was very clean and very well furnished - nothing was missing! The bathroom's huge! And the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast, if you want. As for the rest of the appartment: It was luxurious, yet very comfy! The room has large windows, so there's always a lot of sunlight and it faces the backyard, so it's always very nice and quiet, also at night! The neighborhood was great, too! Just around the corner is a supermarket where you can buy anything you need. The flat is also in walking distance to the Legion of Honor, Lands End and the Presidio and also a great starting point for trips to the Golden Gate Park and the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the Marina Headlands. We had no car, but there were lot's of busses we could take to ride into the city center with the bus stopps right in front our door step - taking the bus # 1 it takes you for instance about 40-50 minutes and you're at the Ferry Building and Market Street. Last but not least a word about the hostess: Golf was very warm and welcoming as were the people working at the Arts Cafe on the corner where we had our free breakfast! The latter was truly delicious (that goes for the various bagels as well as for the coffee and hot chocolate)! Thank you very much, Golf, for having us stay at your beautiful Studio appartment! Thanks to you we enjoyed our holidays in San Francisco very much!
Great !!!!! The place gives u the feel of the real San Francisco.The bus stops to go all over are right at the door steps so no need to worry about transportation.There is a Fresh and Easy super mart 2 minutes away....The apartment is very very clean and well organised .... And the complimentary Breakfast is just WOW !!!! It's their own cafe called The Art Bristo and the stuff there is so YUM ... The Cheese Egg Sausage Croissant ... The Bagels .... The Apple pie .... The Coffee.... The Hot Chocolate ...all just super delicious ... And the decor is wow .... Such a friendly atmosphere And Golf .... Is a very nice host and a great human .... She was there for everything and also guided me and my wife and my two small kids how to get around San Francisco ... The area is very safe and also there's a coin operated laundry in the basement which was very convenient..... Every thing is Great about Golf's apartment and is just as shown in the pictures ..... Thanks a Lot Golf for everything and will always stay with you !!!!!!!!!!
We had a wonderful time at Golf's apartment! It was really clean, beautiful, exactly like it is in the pictures. It is really easy to get everywhere from there, it has a cvs and a grocery store near by. Golf is super nice! I really really recommend this place to anyone who's looking for somewhere to stay in SFO!
Everything as represented. Host was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast sandwich and coffee was a plus. Safe and secure. Good home base.
San Francisco was the starting point of our honeymoon and despite our luggages were not delivered on time, we really enjoyed Golf place. Completely jetlagged we got a very warm and smily welcome from Golf and the art Bistro. The very nice breakfast at the art Bistro is a first happiness in the morning to start a long day visiting Sn francisco.
We had a wonderful stay in SFO and our accommodation was just perfect. Thank you so much to our hosts for making our stay so comfortable and for the fabulous breakfast to start the day.
We enjoyed our stay. Hosts were great and apartment was perfect for my wife and I. We did not have a car and did not need one as public transport here was very good in all directions. WE stayed 8 days and were not ready to leave! 4 block walk to Golden gate park which is a must see area. Also we rented bikes and went across the golden gate bridge to Tiburon.

It was fabulous. My wife and I rented the one bedroom apartment from Tai and Golf for two months. It was so convient to everything using the MUNI busses. We went to Fillmore street and Chinatown on the #1, to the mall on the #18, and downtown to Union Square on the #38L. I made arrangements for a Zip car, but never used it. The apartment was really clean. We could not have been more pleased. They were able to provide everything we needed for the apartment. The breakfasts at the Art Bistro were awsome. We had something different almost every morning. After a few weeks of various latte's were able to find a favorate. My wife especially liked the music that they played. Something I really enjoyed was listening to the soothing sounds of Golden Gate Bridge foghorns. I was surprised that you could see part of the bridge from the apartment front window. Golf and Tai were great hosts. They were able to help us find anything we needed. We will return! Bill & Kath
We loved staying with Thai and Golf! We stayed in both places on Geary: the one-bedroom apt. and the studio. Both were terrific places to stay. We've visited San Francisco many times before but always stayed in hotels. These rooms were spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Breakfast at the Art Bistro was delicious, and we enjoyed meeting other travelers at breakfast. Reminded us of the Rick Steves "Europe through the Back Door" approach to travel. Loved the Vietnamese sandwiches at the little shop across Geary. Thai and Golf said, "We just want to make you happy" and they did! We look forward to staying with them again. Highly recommend it!

Many computer video games involve a lot of rapid mouse clicking. But there are limits to how fast your finger can click and how long you can keep it up before your hand starts to ache. So I modified a mouse to add a rapid fire button to it. That way you can rapidly activate the clicking function by simply holding down one button.
To do this, I connected a 555 timer circuit to the terminals of the left mouse button. When the rapid fire button is pressed, the timer circuit sends a series of pulses to the controller that simulate the button being clicked. This circuit lets you click up to 800 times per minute. A similar circuit could even be used for console video game controllers.
First I prototyped the circuit on a breadboard to test it. I powered it with a 5 volt USB power supply. I also used a variety of meters to monitor the output. Once you are satisfied that the timer circuit is working properly, you can connect it to the mouse.
Before you can connect the timer circuit to the mouse, you need to identify the positive and negative terminals on the mouse. The easiest way to locate these is to follow the connections from the USB connector. There should be quite a few terminals that are connected to each one. I have illustrated this by highlighting each set in the pictures above. If necessary you can use a multimeter to check which terminals are connected to each other.
Once your circuit board is soldered together, you can connect it to the mouse. The easiest thing to do is to just solder wires from the circuit board to the same terminals on the mouse that you connected the alligator clips to easier.
Now just plug the mouse into your computer and you are ready to kill zombies, aliens or whatever the target of your game is. To test it out I found a flash game that counts how fast you can click. You can check it out here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/wolfups/how-fast-can-you-click. Normally I was able to click at a rate of about 400 clicks per minute. But using the rapid fire button, I was able to get over 800 clicks per minute.
This circuit can easily be modified to work with a console video game controller. The only thing that you need to do is reverse the orientation of the diode. The buttons on a mouse normally connect to the positive supply voltage (5V) to activate each function. However a console controller typically connects to ground when the buttons are pressed. The output of the timer circuit is already a series of pulses that alternate between 5V and ground. So all you have to do is reverse the diode and the output of the timer circuit will connect the controller to ground.
