JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks are used to going all out, all the time.
Super Bowl Sunday is a unique beast relative to the typical NFL game day with extended breaks that force teams to tap the brakes.
The team will arrive more than three hours before the scheduled 6:25 p.m. ET kickoff, waiting through pregame concerts, split warmup schedules and after kickoff, longer commercial breaks and a halftime break about three times as long as the typical Sunday.
"As we finish the week, we're dealing with that so that we can prepare our guys and actually practice the time frames," Carroll said Thursday from The Westin Jersey City at his final press conference at Seattle's hotel.
That doesn't mean significant changes to the usual midweek routine. After Competition Wednesday -- a live scrimmage atmosphere with starters against starters, a scoreboard and time clock -- the Seahawks turned to Turnover Thursday, a 90-minute practice focused on turnovers. For the offense, it's about limiting fumbles and interceptions. For the defense, the opposite.
"We think turnover ratio and results of turnovers is the most compelling stat. It's the No. 1 emphasis in our program," Carroll said.
For good reason, quarterback Russell Wilson said he calls it "No Turnover Thursday."
The proof is enough for the Seahawks to push the ball-hawking intensity in practice. The Seahawks led the NFL with a turnover ratio of plus-20, and a league-best 39 takeaways (28 interceptions, 11 fumbles).
"It's intense," Sherman said. "We go really hard at practice. The defense has won most of the time and I think that's manifested itself. I think the last three have been ended by (rookie cornerback) Akeem Auguste. Turnover Thursday is really the embodiment of our program. It's the embodiment of what we do."
Auguste, a practice squad player out of South Carolina, went undrafted and signed with the Seahawks in November. He's the latest in a growing line of underdogs rising to the occasion in Seattle. Carroll said it all sprung from the basic plan for his coaches to always get every player in their best position to succeed.
"We run this program with extraordinary standards," Carroll said. "We've created an environment where not only is that at the top of the charts. We're just trying to get the best out of our guys. It doesn't mean you're going to win. We may play exceedingly well (Sunday) and still not win."
Sherman described practice intensity as off-the-charts Wednesday leading into his favorite day of the week. Sherman got his hands on 24 passes this season, with an NFL-high eight interceptions and 16 passes defended. He senses confidence in growing with every day and echoed quarterback Russell Wilson's line, "preparation is separation."
"There's a tenor, there's a focus that you can feel," Carroll said. "I know it well enough, we've been doing it this way for a long time, you can sense when it's on. The players can feel it too. ... If anything, we have to take care of each other as we're flying around. But we're going to have a rocking day today."
One player who was elated to get to the practice field Thursday was Marshawn Lynch. Carroll said "I'll be relieved some," when Lynch finishes his Thursday interview session and no longer is forced to meet with the mobs of media. His next scheduled mandatory press obligation is following the Super Bowl.
"It's going to be good to get back to football. Real good," said Lynch, who was more conversational Thursday
NOTES: Carroll said the Seahawks hoped to simulate game day in every practice but the team would remain indoors at the New York Giants' practice facility in East Rutherford, N.J., about nine miles from the team hotel. ... K Steven Hauschka and P Jon Ryan worked out at MetLife Stadium, getting comfortable with footing, and will be two of the first on the field Sunday. Carroll said not having them practice outdoors before Sunday will not be a factor. If the game comes down to a field goal, the Seahawks consider it automatic. "Hey, he's Hausch Monday," Carroll said. Hauschka was 33 of 35 on field goals this season. He missed just once in 15 field-goal tries over 40 yards.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Bob Lash
Competing at Heartland Park Topeka for the first time this season on July 14th, the 77-year-old Lash won the Sportsman championship in HPT's E.T. Bracket Racing Series, defeating Kole Vogel in the final round. Lash clocked an elapsed time of 12.682 seconds at a speed of 104.72 miles per hour in his 1972 Chevrolet Nova.
"That surprised the heck out of me,'' Lash said of the win. "I had no expectations of doing that. I figured I'd be done second round and leave.''
Lash has been a staple at Heartland Park since the track, which opened in 1989, launched its bracket racing series in '90. But Lash had cut back on his HPT schedule of late.
"I made an attempt to run for the points in 2012 and it didn't work out very well,'' he said. "I had a problem with the car that I found later on that was causing it to run a little erratic.
"But I decided to come back and try it on the 14th -- nothing else to do.''
Lash's most recent victory added another chapter to a drag racing legacy that began in the fall of 1953.
"The first race us guys went to was down at Edna, Kansas,'' Lash said. "I took my mighty '38 Ford that was so slow it was unbelievable. But that's the way they ran back then.''
Lash has claimed a pair of Sportsman track championships at Heartland Park and his recent win was his 12th in 21 final-round appearances at the track.
"I have my trophies all lined up in order against my wall,'' said Lash, who lives outside of St. George on Highway 24.
Lash won his track championships in '97 and '03 and one of his biggest highlights came in 2000 when he won a Division V event at Bandimere Speedway in Denver and earned the right to compete in the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, Calif.
"That was a big deal there, for just an ET racer like me, to be able to get some national recognition and race out at Pomona, California at a national event,'' Lash said.
But for Lash, last month's win at HPT also holds a special place in his heart because it gave him bragging rights over another longtime local drag racing stalwart, 76-year-old Topekan Dean Steward.
"He's a year younger than I am and he's been doing pretty good in the Pro class,'' Lash said of Steward. "I was worried that he'd take over as being the oldest guy to win an event out there, so I took care of two things. I won a race and now I'm a year or so ahead of him.''
And Lash has every intention of being back in action when the E.T. Bracket Racing Series returns to Heartland Park on Aug. 25th.
"For some reason I'm still pretty alert and have good eyesight, reaction and my muscles work fine,'' Lash said. "If the weather looks good I'm going to try my darndest to be there.''

Just a curious question not really meant to cause chaos. I have been racially stereotyped when I was in 6th grade. A white kid asked me why I talk like a white person. I got kinda pissed but since we were in PE, I couldn't really focus on talking to him.
I also remember one time I was thought to be Asian, though it makes me laugh when I think about it now.
Girl: Are you Asian?
Me: No.
Girl: Are you sure you don't have a long lost Asian father you don't know about?
Me: I'm pretty sure.
Girl: Isn't she like my twin?
Her Friends: No.
Me: ......
This makes me laugh somewhat to this day.
Has things like this happen to you?
Please lock up if duplicate.
I get stereotyped too many times a week. Whether it be my skin color, my clothing, my words, my thoughts, my kinks, or my bank account. in my own household and out in public.
Let me be with you.
Oh to many times:
"Who that guy running the ball so fast, he must be black"
"This guy is black with white clothes on"
"He plays three different types of sports, must be black"
"Having trouble with a question, must be black"
"What types of Kool-Aid do you love?"
"You must live at KFC"
"You know black people are good at football and basketball"
Like come on people, this is getting redundant.......
The sports genre has finally got up and kick some ass
As a racial minority, yes.
I'm unable to walk up to people at an Anime convention and have a conversation with them if they have skin of a lighter shade than me. They don't talk to me.
I once had a good friend back in High School. He always talked about another friend he had, one who had similar taste in anime, games, and music.
The primary difference between his old friend and me, was I'm a Minority, and his friend is racist. I'm not talking the funny hahaha racist, I'm talking the avoids any conversation with someone who's not as white as cotton. Now he was from Arizona and I heard bad things about that place, but seriously? I couldn't strike up a conversation with him to save my life.
Then you have a Korean guy I know. We called him Brandon, but he was 100% South Korean. The only thing he ever said to me, was that he's not from North Korea. I went to school with him for 8 years, and according to people I knew, he was usually outgoing and sociable. But he would always get quiet and not speak around me. Similar to the previous example. He knew I wasn't mexican, I was half-asian. Full Asians often times don't like half asian.
I'm somehow extremely attractive to black women, and white women have an odd disdain for me.
It's safe to say I've been racially Stereotyped a few times.
My sister's able to pass for white, and often gets this line when she talks to someone new
"Oh I thought you were Asian, but you speak like you're white"
its happened to me. a class mate found out i was half blackfoot Indian. at first he thought I was black. then he started making crazy indian noises like the natives did in the old days dancing around fire. I didnt get offended, i laughed a little. Those crazy noises he was making was more funny than him stereotyping me.

The Beast of Times 6/15
The Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center
Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 8:00 PM (PDT)
Los Angeles, CA
Event Details
The Beast of Times is like Portlandia meets the animals from the cartoon The Far Side, but with sexy progressive queer people of color politics!
The Beasts of Times is also a satirical and queer allegory, which explores the contradictions and pains of coming to political consciousness as "Other" in a world where environmental and ethnic diversity are quickly becoming passé.
A work that employs incisive and poignant humor to expose the human love of greed and the human greed for love, Adelina Anthony writes a theatrical work for a new generation of poltico/as with a good measure of 'throw-back' 'movement memory' thrown in and a queer bent to shape it all.

Whistles may harm hearing, study shows
A study by audiology graduate student Nathan Williams and Professor Gregory Flamme shows that referees were much more likely to report symptoms of ringing in the ears and trouble hearing than people of the same age in the general population. The study, "Sports Officials' Hearing Status: Whistle Use as a Factor Contributing to Hearing Trouble," was published in January in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene.

Comments On Jan 04, 2014:Bought this intake to resolve the issue older rzr's have with the stock air box getting very dirty inside. Wow, what a difference!! Took some time to install (removed bed for easier access, but not too hard) This gives your rzr a deeper sound at idle and while riding, not so high pitched anymore. Even gave me a little more acceleration and a few more mph on my top speed. Highly recommended product for any rzr owner!!!

The AeroPoint jacks utilize an all mechanical system to negate the ill effects of potential hydraulic failure as in common hydraulic jacks. This allows the jacks to maintain positive holding power at all times, during and after jacking. This eliminates the need for an operator to engage backup safety holding devices which usually are effective after jacking only. The mechanical design further utilizes the benefit of cordless drills/drivers to power the jack. The use of modern 14.4- or 18-volt cordless drills (with a low speed range of 400 to 500 rpm with a minimum of 400 inch-pounds) makes light work of lifting an aircraft. Included is a crank to operate the jacks manually. The compact design allows the operator to easily select the right height for the job. The jacks come in two sizes: short (23 to 45 inches) and tall (34 to 76 inches) and are on collapsing casters. The pyramid shape allows the stand to be filled with ballast to a maximum total weight of 500 pounds. For more information visit www.AeroPointInd.com.
xenon/LED light
The Night Com Xenon/LED from Streamlight features multiple lighting modes including state-of-the-art LED night vision protection. The flashlight is ideal for aircraft mechanics and other professionals who occasionally work under low-light conditions because it preserves and optimizes night vision. A special mode select dial allows users to choose from three lighting positions — two Ultra-Bright red or safety green LEDs when the light will be used for an extended period of time, a Xenon bulb when high-intensity light is needed, and one low-power red or safety green LED to provide optimum night vision protection. The Night Com light features a 4.8-volt Xenon bulb, providing 72 lumens (typical) of incandescent light for a maximum of 2.5 hours. The two Ultra-Bright LEDs offer up to 8 lumens (typical) of LED light, while the Indicator Type LED is able to preserve complete dark adaptation per MIL-1472D. The LEDs feature a run time of up to 28 hours and last for 100,000 hours. For more information visit www.streamlight.com or call (800) 523-7488.

ISSUE: Fiscal Court's revote on government move
OUR VIEW: 'Do-over' was right decision
Hardin Fiscal Court conducted a second meeting to receive public input and allow magistrates an opportunity to recast a vote on the plan to relocate county government offices. Although those in attendance who spoke in opposition will continue to view relocation as the wrong move for county government, Fiscal Court's decision to hold a second meeting certainly was the right decision to make.

Bigon: Napoli could not have done more
Napoli director of sport Riccardo Bigon was content with his side's performance against Chievo despite criticism levelled at the players for not taking their chances.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The 41-year-old former footballer was drafted in to speak to the media following news that coach Walter Mazzarri had felt unwell in the Serie A game. Bignon, however, did assure the assembled journalists that it was nothing serious and Mazzarri would return to duty within the next few days.
On the match, he did not share the view of the media that Napoli were not focused in the game. The team missed at least two chances to bury the ball into an open net and only a second-half goal by Marek Hamsik settled the match and allowed Napoli to keep pace with league leaders Juventus.
The result was much welcome at the Stadio San Paolo after two consecutive defeats to Juve and Dnipro had threatened to derail Napoli's promising start to the campaign.
Bignon was content with the manner of the victory as he told Sky Sport Italia, "I don't think we could've asked any more of the team tonight [Sunday].
"Maybe they could have taken a few more of the chances that were created, but I am truly happy for the work this team is doing both on the field and in training.
"I want us to remain as high up the table as possible, but it doesn't only depend on us. If Juventus continue winning at this rate, then it'll be tough to keep up with them."
Much of the goalscoring burden has fallen on star striker Edinson Cavani but he was unable to feature in the Chievo match due to a thigh injury. This had led several journalists wondering whether Napoli were too dependent on the Uruguayan international but Bignon stated that the club had carefully deliberated on, and decided against, the purchase of another striker over the summer.
"In general, in the summer there was talk of forming a quartet of pacey strikers capable of finishing well.
"But the coach has found a formation that works. [Goran] Pandev? He's a player like [Alexandre] Pato or [Sergio] Pellissier, a good player capable of attacking from deep.
"Sometimes you realize that we [just] need players with different characteristics."
Napoli continue to be just three points behind Juventus with Inter Milan close behind in the Serie A table. They next face Atalanta on Wednesday at Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

Ski Bretton Woods for $12 on 12/12/12
Bretton Woods, which already had a nice layer of snow on the mountain this past weekend, plans to open by Thanksgiving weekend, but in one month, the New Hampshire resort is celebrating the grand opening of its new Telegraph T-bar and rustic warming hut on Mount Stickney with some discounted skiing and riding. Like, really discounted.
On 12/12/12, Bretton Woods will be selling lift tickets for…guess..the price of $12. More than just a "12" gimmick, the price also reflects the retro effect Bretton Woods is instilling on Mount Stickney, erecting a T-bar in lieu of a new chairlift, and creating a "sidecountry" sort of feel to the gladed area. The highlight of the new lift is that skiers and riders will no longer have to return to the base area and traverse over to Stickney.
As for why they decided to name it the "Telegraph" T-bar, history plays a part there too. According to director of ski operations Chris Ellms, during the clearing for the lift over the summer, workers found the remains of an old telegraph cable that ran from a summit fire tower during the days of forest industrialization. The cable was a means for communication with the Mount Washington Resort Hotel, at the base of the mountain.
Unlike that nod, the $12 deal is one day only, of course.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Odd Fellows Cafe
1525 10th Ave, Seattle, WA | Directions 9812247.614732 -122.319450
Sun.& Mon. 7 a.m. - 1 a.m.; Tues. - Sat. 7 a.m.- 2 a.m.
Neighborhoods: Broadway, Capitol Hill
Big, bright, lively and comfortable room great for a quick drink, a long work session or an evening out with friends. The menu has something for everyone and the tiny outdoor courtyard is lovely.
Morning, noon or night! Oddfellows serves up delicious coffee, food and cocktails. All in a super fun space.
My favorite casual spot in Seattle. This Portland gal feels right at home with the great food, cute servers, awesome cocktails, and quirky-chic decor. Yes, it's hip, but it's also welcoming.
Great spot for happy hour deals and Cap Hill people watching. Plus great deviled eggs, a dish not on nearly enough menus.
Ideal bar to work out of. Free wifi, casual cafe style atmosphere with breakfast, lunch & dinner as well as coffee, spirits, wine & beer.
Much improved from my first review – It seems my gripes were heard. (read my original review below)
I recently came back to try again and everything was spot on. The service was nice and smooth and the food was much better than last time. The BEST service was from the floor staff..the behind the counter folks were still a bit stiff and bothered..but the people running and working the floor were super helpful and nice.
This is welcome news as the decor is amazing and is a really fun place to meet friends and clients. Hopefully this is a sign of still more service and food quality improvement in the future.
My old review:
Previous headline:
Come on guys... let's kick it back in gear..
I am a patient person....but come on.
I have eaten here quite a bit...and each time I go it seems to get steadily worse...in both quality of food and attentiveness of service.
I am getting a little fed up with the hipster crowd these days...I'm totally down for the ones who actually like to work and do their job and can also give the vibe of current cool..but I'm not down for the ones who just want to look the part and "stand there". If you really don't want to work...go sit at any local coffee shop or ride your fixie bike.
I recently ordered two lunches and 3 coffees to go. The coffees came out fairly quickly..but the food took over 20 minutes (two salads..yes...SALADS...) and the coffee was cold by the time they were brought to the counter.
The only saving grace was the ONE person who said "thank you for the wait...how bout a cookie?" That person is the only one who gets a hug from me.
Oddfellows is a super cool restaurant (the design elements are fantastic) that deserves kick ass neighborhood service.
Please don't fall the wayside of trying to be too cool for school...doing your job consistently without fuss MAKES you cool.
Welcome to the fraternity! – The feel of an old fraternity's cafeteria, Oddfellows can provide a great lunch option or late night drinking spot.
In a space that looks like an old warehouse, with fir floors and long communal tables this venue creates a welcoming space for the casual diner and drinker alike.
Although a small menu, the selection provide a variety of the well known (Potato Leak Soup, Rotisserie Chicken) and the unique (Buffalo Fried Chicken Livers, Lamb Ragout). The coffee leaves something to be desired and the alcohol choices are limited, but this venue, otherwise, offers great place to get to know your neighbor.
Being located in a busy part of Capitol Hill, there are many shopping and activity options nearby, but there is also very limited parking.
Oddfellows is not odd at all! – I recently visited Oddfellows with a friend of mine with the sole purpose of getting a bite to eat, sipping on a cold libation, and knitting. Yes, knitting. The best part about walking into this wide-open friendly restaurant is that to our left a couple noshed on a fresh hummus platter while playing cribbage while their neighbor to the left sat solo sipping on a cappuccino while surfing the internet. We knew that we'd fit right in.
As soon as you walk in you feel like your visiting your best friend and they've been expecting you. We stepped up to the counter and rattled the first dish that made our mouth water and ordered a couple drinks as well. Then it was off to secure one of the quaint little table in their small yet adorable back patio that is reminiscent of Brooklyn on a summer's day.
The waitstaff was polite, the drinks were stiff yet flavorful, the food was fresh tasting and overall, we had an excellent time! Will surely be stopping by again soon!
AMAZING FOOD, PEOPLE, AND COMMITTMENT TO COMMUNITY – Oddfellows ROCKS!!!! The space is incredible. The staff are fantastic - friendly, attentive, cool. I go there almost daily to work, eat (love the pulled pork and chicken salad sandwich), meet with people and soak in the good vibe. AND Linda and the Oddfellows crew are incredibly philanthropic. Recently they sponsored the Equalityoga event on June 27th. Linda is deeply committed to creating great establishments, creating a cool and welcome vibe in Seattle and ensuring we are a healthy and thriving community. I love all of Linda's establishments but Oddfellows is definitely my favorite. I highly recommend it.
Great place, blend food – I have tried the specials, such as the tuna sandwich (which had no flavor), the baked eggs were ok, but didn't even come with bread and for $8 it's over-priced - the strata is a joke! It's basically a piece of bread with some cheese on top. I would say, if you want to be on your computer, drink a coffee and have a scone, this is the right place for that- but skip the food, unless they really get it right in the near future.
Linda Derschang created an instant classic with this morning-til-night cafe and bar serving up homey food in a space beautifully ringing of history. – In Short
It's a match made in Seattle hipster heaven: club queen Linda Derschang (Smith, King's Hardware, Linda's, Rob Roy) and chef Ericka Burke (Volunteer Park Cafe) have teamed up to gift the Emerald City with this feisty bistro. Turn-of-the-century cafeteria by day, rustic-and-trendy bar by night, it's hard to imagine a Capitol Hill social scene without Oddfellows. With antique metal sewing factory chairs, church pews salvaged from nearby St. Joe's, and black and white pictures of very serious looking men on the walls, the decor respectfully plays on the history of the space. The kitchen opens at 9am, plating up filling breakfast dishes like rosemary apple compote with granola. Lunch is a frenzy of fedoras, leggings and boots as the youngish crowd grabs bites like a PB&J panini, old-school French dip, or simple chicken salad. The best part of the day at Oddfellows falls at dusk, when the fleet of servers flits about the room dispursing votives like candles on a birthday cake. It's Linda's party and we're all invited.
i wish it weren't true – I was so excited for Oddfellows to open. Capitol Hill needs establishments with better food and Vol. Park cafe is great. I wasn't expecting much, it's comfort food for the love of all things holy. No matter how many chances I give Oddfellows, the food is no good. The environment, very comfortable but the grub is ghastly. The panzanella salad is always way overdressed and tomatoes are not in season. The pulled pork sandwich is on a bun from Arby's and the meat and coleslaw is bland. The strata is dry and plain and I love strata! I tried to eat it between a side of bacon and strangely enough the bacon was flavorless! How can this be?
I will say, I love the cookies and Stumptown coffee but you've got to wait in line forever to get it. Oddfellows, you've got potential, I know you can do better!
Stingly with the grub and overated for the buzz – I know the owner has a bunch of bars and cafes that the poser/hipster crowd flock around . I admit I must be one of them since I found myself on a Friday night sitting at a communal table surrounded by loud and annoying strangers. The menu was limited but I chose a $10 shepherds pie. It was bland and overpriced for what it was. I could've bought some Trader Joe's shepherds pie that would've been more staisfying. For $10 they could've have included a small side salad or a freaking dinner roll. Smith , the owners other bar/cafe is guilty for being stingy with the grub as well! My friend ordered the steak. It came out on a huge platewith a tiny miniscule steak, and the side dish was a onion half with blue cheese crumbled on it! An onion half is a side dish! For that price they could afford a freaking potatoe. And what is this popularity of communal sitting tables? I hear so many people bitching about communal sitting, are these owners aware of this? The desserts were items I saw on Martha Stewarts magazine covers like 8 years ago. Things like a captain crunch bar thats like a rice krispie treat. big whoo! I love the interiors of all of the owners places but how about having a bit more substance and give more food for the price Linda?

Layton >Restaurants > Outback Steakhouse
1664 N 1200 W, Layton, UT | Directions 8404141.084907 -111.98566
M-Th 11am-10pm, F-Sa 11am-11pm, Su 11am-9pm
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.
That last review was written by their manager – This is a good restaurant that knows how to cook steak the way you order it! The onion blossom is NOT their best appetizer, no matter what the management says. It is too greasy, the breading falls off easily, and you are left dipping pure onion into the 1000 island dressing. With their generous potions and bread brought before the meal I reccomend skipping the appetizer, and try to save room for dessert. They make great Virgin Daquiris and Pina Coladas too. If you want a quiet evening don't even bother. This is a classic tile floor "loud" restaurant. Carpet would be nice to help soak up the sound. Expect a wait during peak evening hours (6-8). Waitstaff is usually very helpfull and professional if you treat them with respect. This is a great place for large groups too. Hope this honest, non-management writen, review helps!! ENJOY
G'day, Real Steak! – This is definately, with out a doubt, my favorite restraunt. Fairly similar to other good steak houses with a bit of personal touch. Their bloomin' onion is the best onion blossom I've had. If you like spices you'll love this place. When you say "steak rare" that is exactly what you get, and in generous portions. The wait staff are polite, and prompt. They even go the extra mile to accomodate you on specialty drinks.
Start off with the bloomin' onion and their really great bread, move on to a nice juicy steak, have a couple of drinks, and if you aren't stuffed grab some cheesecake. The atmosphere rocks, and the bar is great for spectator sports and a well poured beer.
The steak is definately the best that I've ever had.

FORTUNE -- I'm signing off Facebook for the month of August. And Twitter. And Instagram. And LinkedIn, Pinterest, & MessageMe. If you'd like to reach me before September, please send an email to my @fortune address or better yet, call me. I suspect I'll have a bit more time than usual to call you back.
Put simply, I want to find out what I've gained -- and what I've lost -- since I first logged on to Friendster back in 2003. I don't remember what my life was like before I had a profile pic. I've been writing about -- and making efficient use of -- social networking tools since I authored the first business cover story on social networking for Business Week in 2005. By stepping away for a month, I hope to see these technologies with new eyes -- and to write smarter stories about how they will shape our future.
In case you haven't noticed, it seems to have become a trend this year. In May, Paul Miller wrote about his experience living one year Internet-free for The Verge. The New York Times has written about digital detox camps, and Fast Company ran a cover story about a guy who unplugged for 25 days. Seriously, that was the conceit of the story.
I believe this is happening now because we American Internet users have reached a point of maximum social overload. I credit a perfect storm of new tools -- smartphones, tablets, Up bands, Fitbits, and hell, even Google (GOOG) Glass -- and new services that all feel necessary even as the old services (like Facebook) remain staples. Each morning when I wake, I check (in this order): Text messages, work email, Gmail, Yahoo (YHOO), Instagram, Facebook (FB), Twitter, and then anything else on my iPhone notifications panel.
Much as with any other technology , we need to figure out how to integrate social services (and here I am defining social broadly as including email and text as all of these services now have a social network at their core) into our lives. Remember when we all got cell phones in the mid-90s? For several years, we let them ring in restaurants and movie theaters and answered them mid-conversation before we developed a set of cultural norms around how to use them. This set of culture norms is harder to pin down with social services since the services themselves are evolving so quickly.
MORE: Are teens fleeing Facebook or not?
For several years, I've sought the refuge of an international vacation each spring in order to wean myself off the Pavlovian response to reach for my pocket every time I feel a vibration. I've enjoyed small windows of solitude in Hungary and Croatia and Turkey, but even these far-flung destinations are hyper-connected. (A couple of years ago, I shut off my phone, donned a backpack and hiked to a bed-and-breakfast on the south coast of Turkey only to come across a wedding party dancing to the popular Turkish pop song lyrics: "Facebook! Facebook! I met a girl on Facebook!")
Also, a vacation is, by definition, a break from routine.
So this summer, I'm choosing instead to explore the impact of this technology on my routine. I have constructed a set of somewhat arbitrary rules to cut down on my social intake:
-- I will be available over both work and personal email between 9am and 6:30pm, the hours in a basic work day.
-- I will also be available on my work phone and my cell phone. At home, I plan to leave my phone in the kitchen, in the area once reserved for a landline. (I ditched mine in June 2003.)
-- I will not be available at any time on any social service.
-- I won't be available over any instant messaging service.
-- I will not text.
It's harder than I thought to figure out how to disengage. For one, social services have no incentive to offer vacation responders in the way that my email does; after all, once we leave for a brief period, we may not come back. Also, my social feeds provide the backbone for many of the tasks that I do online -- from watching movies on Netflix (NFLX) to ordering food through Seamless. Trying to decouple the tasks from the networks is daunting. And: Social is not just social. It's critical to my work life. I have no doubt I will long for LinkedIn (LNKD) before important business meetings this month in the same way that I craved caffeine when I tried to give up my morning coffee last summer. It won't be pretty.
But, I plan to keep notes on the process, and I hope to learn a bit more about myself -- and as important, about these social technologies I cover -- in the process. I'll share these thoughts at month's end. And I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on any similar journeys. Extra attention goes to the letters I receive by snail mail ...

Re: Photon 4G to Photon Q 4GLTE
Do you want the physical keyboard? Thats a great reason to switch. There's a nice review of one person's switch from photon to the q in this forum. (its not mine, i came from the Epic)

Re: Photon 4G to Photon Q 4GLTE
I have mixed feelings about a physical keyboard. I bought my first moto phone for boost mobile (motorola i465, dont ever get that phone), and that had a qwerty on it, but then after deciding the rates were too high i switched back to sprint under my parents account and got the photon 4g and fell in love with it. But i want a better phone. I know im gonna have to wait until my contract with sprint ends in dec next year to swap for the Q, and i was wondering if switching to the Q would be a good idea or if i should wait until there is a newer version of the photon.

Re: Photon 4G to Photon Q 4GLTE
Now that I have seen the N4, I have decided on getting that instead. I am gettimg a bit tired of Sprint, and after hearing multiple stories of Motorola mistreating its customers, i feel that moving to the Nexus will give me some freedom to do what more of what I want with my phone.

Re: Photon 4G to Photon Q 4GLTE
I have had both. They are both good phones albeit the Q LTE is faster and will be upgraded to at least Jellybean. If I were you, unless you live in one of the Sprint LTE areas, keep the 4G for now since your data speeds will suffer until LTE is deployed in your area; the Photon Q LTE does not support the old 4G network. When LTE is available in more places, then I would do the upgrade. I am sorry I didn't wait since I will lose 4G speeds for at least a year in my area.

Comments On Nov 15, 2013:I bought this windshield because of the reviews that others gave it. But, after riding with it on for several hours the rubber part on the bottom of the windshield started to come off. So I just took it off completely until I had a chance to put it back on.
When I got home and started to clean my RZR off I noticed a dark black line where the rubber piece was sitting on my hood. At first I thought it was dirt that would come off easily - not so much! I tried everything to get it off and had to resort to using fine sandpaper to remove it. Several hours later and a buffer and heat gun I was able to get the mark to go away!

Comments On Sep 26, 2013:This windshield is nice to be able to fold up and down. The securing post that goes on the hood sticks slightly over the "scoop" part of the hood on a 2013 RZR 800 LE. Instead of bolting it, I used double sided automotive tape. The top bend of the windshield is right in my line of sight, its a bit annoying but I can live with it (well, maybe not if I get in a crash cause I cant see where Im going!) All in all, I like the windshield but my biggest complaint is how easy it scratches!

Comments On Oct 28, 2012:I like this windshield. Gives some additional buffer for dust and wind. I too had the issue with it being right in my line of sight but I got used to it fairly quick. We did some riding through the river and this thing kept us quite a bit dryer that the week before without it. I like being able to fold it down on hot days to get the full breeze. My did not come with installation instructions and it took me a few tries to figure out which way each mount went (then again it was dark out and I was drinking which couldn't have helped :). I have not had an issue with scratching but I have been extra careful after reading other reviews.

Comments On Oct 01, 2011:If you have Pro-Armor doors on a RZR900XP, you'll want to just use a 4" bolt through the roll bar bolt, and install the pivot on that bolt, WITHOUT using the black roll bar clamp.
I'm 6'1", and the bend is right at my line of sight, and makes it awkward to see through while driving.
The plastic scratches pretty easy, especially around where the knobs go, that hold it all in place! I have numerouse swirl scratches where my gloves rub the plastic as you tighten the knobs.

Comments On Aug 28, 2011:Easy to install. Folds up or down quickly. Mounted it about an inch off cowling and there seems to be less back draft. Downside: scratches easily.

Comments On Mar 15, 2011:It is awesome to be able to fold the windshield almost flat then in a couple of seconds fold it up and have the protection of a windshield. I fold it up for the faster roads and fold it down for the trails. If it is way dusty fold it down. when the sun goes down, fold it up. I think this is one of the best parts i have added.

BOISE-- Idaho Steelheads head coach Hardy Sauter announced on Tuesday that the team has traded the rights of defenseman Cody Lampl to the Utah Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations.
Lampl, a native of Ketchum, ID, and only Idaho native to play for the Steelheads, appeared in 114 games, tallying one goal and 27 assists. The 25-year-old was well known for his community service in the Boise area, and was a two-time winner of the team's Bill Campbell Community Service Award.
Forward Kyle Reed was also traded to Utah on Tuesday.

Duo Realis Jerkbait 120SP - $13.49
Made in Japan with high quality components and advanced engineering, the Duo Realis Jerkabit 120SP means business. Built with a bold, flat-sided body, the Realis Jerkabit 120SP produces an intense flash that will be sure to gain any fish's attention. The sound performance of the Realis Jerkbait 120SP is also second-to-none. Included in each bait are four rattling weights, two tungsten for a low pitch tone, and two steel for a high pitch. Together they produce a unique sound bass can't resist. Molded into the bait's anterior is also a fixed weight, which ensures optimal balance and long casting capabilities. To bring the Duo Realis 120SP Jerkbait to life, simply snap or quickly twitch the rod tip for a sharp darting and flashing action. Available in a variety of realistic colors, the Duo Realis 120SP Jerkbait is premium bait that you will be fishing for years to come!

Comments: These things look awesome. They are indeed high quality and cast a mile. However, I tried fishing these in the fall on St. Clair. I was not able to get the same success I had with the old trusty Rogue, or a Jack-It products jerkbait. The baits are high quality, and the finishes look great, I just couldn't get them to produce the smallmouth on St. Clair like other baits. I am not giving up, because they look like they SHOULD be strong, just have not figured out the best way to fish it yet I guess.
From: Jesse: Detroit, MI
Comments: I was a pointer guy until i discovered these. I wish the 100 size had a weight transfer system. Hint hint. Need all bait color in 120 size.
From: Ben: MN
Comments: duo has some amazing colors I am very impressed with with their lures: please expand color selection so I don't have to buy off ebay.
From: Brett: NY
Comments: best casting 120mm bait! this thing looks back after every jerk. don't buy it, save it for me instead
From: Striper Team: CA
Comments: Great ripbait. This is the "flagship" lure in the Realis line-up. It has a great side to side darting action and comes with very strong Kishida hooks standard. Look out for the 100SP as well.
From: KBullington24: Ca
Comments: It's hard to explain other then this jerkbait flat out catches them. It's unique sound and action really drives the smallmouth crazy from Minnesota to the New York Finger Lakes. If your talking largemouth then this bait just as good, I was catching cold water largemouth on Lake Minnetonka in 39 degree water. Great bait in all conditions.
From: Jason: Tonka Bay
Comments: great lure. But tw needs the "all bait" pattern. I'll pick that one up for sure if Yal carry it

2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - Mark Dever (III)
from Karisa Schlehr Oct 12, 2010 Category: EventsMark Dever started off the afternoon with a session expounding on conversion. Biblical faithfulness entails apparent exclusivity in our churches. The common wisdom among pastors today is that that is not the case. Keep Reading
2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - Mark Dever (II)
from Chris Donato Oct 12, 2010 Category: EventsWhat does it mean for the church to be "confessional"? This is the question Mark Dever sought to answer during his first session at the Ligonier Pastors Conference. The title of this lecture, "No Creed but Christ?" represents, unfortunately, a widespread sentiment across the American Christian landscape. Typically, there are two types of critiques of creeds and confession—one liberal, one conservative. Keep Reading
2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - R.C. Sproul (I)
from Keith Mathison Oct 12, 2010 Category: EventsR.C. Sproul opened the 2010 Pastors Conference speaking on one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. We are looking at the Nicene Creed's description of the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. A cynic might suggest that it is hard to imagine how the contemporary church could be described as such. Our church today is fragmented. There is dissention. The cynic would say that there is anything but unity, sanctity, catholicity, and apostolicity. Instead, the church is fragmented, corrupt, parochial, and modernistic. Keep Reading

2010 Regional Conference Round-Up
from Karisa Schlehr Sep 23, 2010 Category: EventsToday, we are living in a post-Christian and even anti-Christian society where the holiness of God is mocked, Christians are silenced, and the gospel is largely seen as irrelevant, even in many professedly "Christian" churches. On September 17-18 in Washington, D.C., we held Ligonier Ministries' 2010 Regional Conference to address the this important topic of being a Christian in a post-Christian culture. Thabiti Anyabwile, Robert Godfrey, Albert Mohler, Burk Parsons, R.C. Sproul (via video), and R.C. Sproul Jr. provided sound teaching as to how Christians can recover a biblical understanding of the world around us and, consequently, how we can reform our lives and our spheres of influence.

This is what he had to say on this important and timely subject. What is statism? It is the claim or exercise of the power of the state as absolute over society.

from Karisa Schlehr Sep 18, 2010 Category: EventsWe kicked off day two of the 2010 Regional Conference with Burk Parsons who was tasked with the topic of "The Gates of Hell." The term "post-Christian" is not a new word. We see it throughout history and as a country we have been post-Christian for a long time. We have come to a place where many of the people who surround us not only don't know the simple truths of what makes Christianity our faith, they don't even understand things as basic as what a pastor is. Christianity has lost its influenced. Keep Reading

Showing 1 - 20 of 1,493 resources
Using educational software, learners use a graphic organizer to compare the life cycles of plants and animals. This lesson is supposed to be completed in conjunction with a unit on the topic. It calls for the use of Kidspiration, but another software program could be substituted.
Young scientists view videos to watch the changes through the life cycle of a plant. Then they will germinate seeds on a sock and in a plastic bag. Finally, they answer questions about the sequence of plant growth and record changes in local plants and make an original garden.
Research plant life cycles using a variety of materials. Researchers will visit four stations set up with books, digitized version of books, and software offering text-to-speech support. They will then answer two plant life cycle questions posted on the board and write their responses on Post-it notes. Finally, they mark evidence in the text to support their answers, and then gather as a group to share.
Students look at plants under a microscope, go to a local farm, draw pictures, and more to do with sequencing life cycles of plants. In this plants lesson plan, students observe plant and fruit seeds.
Learners observe and identify the characteristics of the life cycle of a butterfly.
Using computers, Students work in small groups and progress through the roles of Explorer, Researcher, Designer, and Evaluator as they study the life cycle of plants, insects, butterflies and frogs.
Fourth graders explore life cycles. They examine pictures of the various stages of life cycles and put them in the correct order. Students match pictures of eggs to the correct parents. They discuss the importance of knowing the life cycles of plants and animals.
Here is a fascinating lesson about the life cycles of plants and animals, and other cycles found in nature. Learners explore the cycle of the moon, the tides, and other sequences of events in every day life. The big activity is the construction of a habitat for mealworms. For one month, pupils examine what happens with them. They see that mealworms have basic needs to survive, and that the environment provides them with everything they need.
Second graders investigate the life cycles of different living organisms and make important connections regarding the organisms' classification, physical traits, environments, and sources of food and shelter. For this life cycle lesson, 2nd graders participate in the Canal Critters Scavenger Hunt and search for animals native to the area using clues. Students develop conclusions through kinesthetic learning. Students then participate in the Eco-Active boat ride.
Butterflies are fascinating! Their development is an intriguing example of natural life cycles. Read a book about butterflies to your learners (several are recommended), and focus on the term life cycle as you explain stages animals go through. Learners can act out the butterfly's life cycle, and create a book illustrating the various stages. This is not included, but you could create or find a template. Pair with further insect research or a trip to a preserve!
A cross-curricular expository writing lesson plan has third and fourth graders listen to and discuss the book The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss. They write a journal entry from the perspective of a carrot seed. Pupils use the writing process to create a book explaining the life cycle of a plant of their choice. Emphasis on transition words and sequencing are part of the lesson plan. This is a great way to introduce primary and secondary sources, too! For fourth graders, choose a more sophisticated plant life cycle book.
Explore the wonders of the life cycle by first focusing on the growth and development of the green turtle. The class will discuss the life cycle of different plants and animals, then turn their attention to the green turtle. They view a presentation, play a game, and then name each stage of the turtle's life cycle. There are two suggested extensions, one for older students and one for the younger set.
All living things grow and change throughout their lives, but few as dramatically as the monarch butterfly. Explore the interesting life cycle of this insect as children collect caterpillars, create habitats, and observe the incredible metamorphosis that follows. Keep daily observation journals, recording changes and making predictions about what will happen next. Establish cross-curricular connections by measuring and graphing the growth of the caterpillars before they become chrysalises. A great activity that provides an up-close-and-personal look into the life of these beautiful insects.
Pupils cut out the stages of the life cycle of a bean plant, put them in the right order, and make a book out of it. In this bean plant lesson plan, students also color beans on a worksheet and write descriptions.
First graders access prior knowledge about pumpkins and read the story Pumpkin, Pumpkin. They will sequence the life cycle of the pumpkin through the use of picture cards and then sing a song about the life cycle of the pumpkin and plant seeds. In the end, they should be able to recognize patterns in nature.
Second graders extend their knowledge of life cycles to other animals. They demonstrate their understanding that at the beginning of an animal's life cycle, some young animals represent the adult while others do not. They will participate in a variety of investigations to support their learning.
Describe each stage in the life cycle of a butterfly. Second graders will identify the stages of the life cycle of the butterfly, using correct vocabulary. They will also share their new understandings about the stages of the life cycle of butterflies, with a partner and then they may volunteer to present their center project to the class.
Perhaps you don't use plant-related apps in the classroom because you haven't botany (bought any)! Here is one that you may want to purchase. Elementary green thumbs explore the stages in the plant life cycle as well as some of the processes that allow them to proceed.
Fourth graders complete various activities related to the plant life cycle. They read the book "The Tiny Seed," read and discuss the poem "Five Little Seeds," complete a "Plantenstein Mystery" and other online activities, write and illustrate a plant life cycle comic strip, take a field trip to a wildlife refuge, and dissect beans and seeds.
Curb spring fever by bringing some of the great outdoors into your classroom with plant life cycle activities.

Rippix is a fork of ripperX, a fast and easy to use CD ripper. While ripperX does a good job of ripping and encoding songs from a CD, it uses a rather outdated user interface. Rippix tries to fill this gap. This includes porting Rippix to GTK+ 3. Additionally, a lot of deprecated code will be rewritten and documentation will be added. The reason for a fork is that after some hacking on the ripperX code, it appeared that more modifications were necessary in order to port to GTK+ 3 conveniently than what could be appreciable by ripperX devs, like removing all the XPM images (including the logo) from the UI.
Color manager is an object that can be used to parse, manipulate, and convert color values. It can parse color definitions in several formats like hexadecimal, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, and colors by name. The object can change the color individual property values such as red, green, blue, hue, saturation, light values, and alpha channel. The manipulated colors can be converted to any of the supported formats.

Several days before the VMA's, which were held in Los Angeles, Selena Gomez was in Toronto at the MuchMusic headquarters.
What a doll! I absolutely adore this outfit! The horse print shirt, the pin-stripe shorts and the suede booties look great together. It is casual and super-cute and perfect for the occasion! This is something I myself would wear! Obviously I won't be going to the MuchMusic headquarters in Toronto anytime soon, but still. I would definitely wear this outfit. Totally fab!
But the very-best part about this photo? No Justin Bieber!

I have tried this program once back in Jan, but things kind of fell off track, so I am pretty familiar with everything, but I have a question concerning cardio.
I am in the military and am currently sitting at 215 (max weight is 202) (I had an injury and gained some weight) and I am going to a formal school on Jan 10 and I need to be below my max weight of 202 by that date. I understand that most folks see differences in their body, but not on the scale. Obviously, I will need to see some progress on the scale.
So if follow the plan alone, I may not get where I need to be. Would it be a bad thing to follow the plan to a "T" but add in another 20 minute cardio session every day or at least add in a cardio session every other day (either on lifting or cardio day)?
My biggest concern here is that if I am not below my max weight of 202 by 10 Jan, my career will be in jeopardy.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Hi Dolfin, My wife and I often double up cardio workouts if our time and energy allows for it, only 3 weeks in we are getting great results.. Man does she look hot and I can already fit into my skinny clothes .. I would say go for it... Constantly aching bodies at this stage though lol
Thanks for the reply. Do you double up everyday or only on certain days?
BTW, congrats on you and your wife's progress.
Anyone else?
I believe if you follow the plan to a T you will lose the weight. But - timing.... Christmas and all. I'd hit the weights hard & do aerobics per the plan. Good proteins & carbs & very little sugar. I lost 12 pounds in the first 4 weeks (started 10/15), but I worked HARD at all of it (well - a cold one every now & then). Anyway, I'm ex-Navy so I understand. I say don't overdo the aerobics. Too much chance for an injury (pulled muscle, etc). If you believe you can do it, you will.
Dolfin -
Former Marine here, always struggled with my weigh in's since I was a bigger guy. Even at my skinniest, literally 5% body-fat I was only a few pounds under my max weight. So, I learned a few tricks about weight loss, in a healthy way.
First, fast weight loss is alot of calories in and calories out, at your weight, probably aim for about 1,700-1,800 calories a days. Then, cardio, preferably running. I'd say run at least five days a week, minimum 30 minutes a day. If you have a stationary bike then an hour a day minimum. Lastly, water, and I mean ALOT of it. You do this for a couple weeks and you'll weigh in just fine.
Now, my advice is to help you with your weigh in for the military, I'm not suggesting this as a modification to the BFL program....just to get you under so your career isn't in jeopardy.
Semper Fi,
Texas Brez
Thanks for the information. I was planning on doing BFL per the instructions, but I was going to add an additional 20 minutes of cardio (bike) each day.
