Graham v. Florida - Post-Decision SCOTUScast - MP3
Running Time: 00:13:25
On May 17, 2010, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Graham v. Florida. The question in this case was whether the imposition of a life sentence without the possibility of parole on a juvenile convicted of a non-homicide offense violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments. By a vote of 6-3 the, Court struck down the sentence. In an opinion for the Court written by Justice Kennedy and joined by four Justices, the Court held that the Eighth Amendment does not permit a juvenile offender to be sentenced to life in prison without parole for a non-homicide crime. Chief Justice Roberts wrote a separate opinion concurring in the judgment on the ground that the particular sentence at issue in this case was unconstitutionally disproportionate under the Court's precedents.
To discuss the case, we have University of Florida Levin College of Law Assistant Professor John F. Stinneford.

Front Spherical EndlinksImprove a known failure point with a set of high grade PERRIN Endlinks!
Why you need these endlinksOEM steel endlinks are small, flimsy and can fail if a larger front swaybar is installed. PERRIN Performance endlinks are made of super stiff 6061T6 aluminum with solid type steel spherical bearings, which provide a solid No-Flex connection between your swaybar and the chassis. They will also hold up to the stiffest swaybars.
If you frequently travel rougher and more demanding driving routes or through poor weather climates where your suspension has to hold up against road salts and De-icer chemicals, consider the PERRIN Xtreme Duty Endlinks.
ConstructionPERRIN Sway bar endlinks are machined from solid 6061T6 aluminum and feature spherical type bearings. These spherical bearings are the same kinds of parts you would find on a no compromise race car suspension. The low profile design of PERRIN endlinks allow for ample clearance for even the largest diameter sway bars.
Spherical BearingsPERRIN endlinks feature Teflon lined spherical steel bearings which provide the necessary articulation angles while maintaining a smooth resistance free sway bar motion. These precision bearings are use to provide a solid connection from your swaybar to the chassis compared to flexible rubber bushings. Each bearing is held in place using spiral-lock bearing retainers to ensure they will NEVER come out of the body.
InstallationPERRIN Endlinks take roughly 1 hour to install and only require that you lift the car onto jack stands for clearance.
HardwarePERRIN endlinks include high quality hardware including stainless steel spacers. We do not use cheaper, soft aluminum or plain steel spacers like our competition. Also included are high quality Grade 8 bolts and other hardware ensuring that you will not have a failure while driving around the track.
5 Year WarrantyPERRIN Performance warrants to the original purchaser, all PERRIN products to be free from defects in material and workmanship within a sixty (60) months period from the date of purchase. *Some exclusions apply

" The funniest part of electric cars, to me, is gas cars have stringent CO2 controls and other pollutants, however when you plug your car into the power grid you can be generating that energy with anything from dirty coal plants that payed clean credits to operate or nuclear power like Fukashima. So in all honestly, not many people who have electric cars are running them cleaner, in truth. It just looks cleaner because you plug it in. "

WQOW ABC-18 (Wisconsin) - Stimulus money to pay for clean energy job training
Governor Jim Doyle Wednesday announced a $6 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant to expand Wisconsin's Apprenticeship Program and train nearly 3,000 workers for clean energy jobs in building trades and manufacturing.
Under the goals of the Sector Alliance for the Green Economics project, approximately 2,950 workers will complete training and receive a certificate or degree, and more than 2,500 will be placed in training-related jobs.
Governor Doyle thanked the Obama Administration for their continued investment in Wisconsin's workforce and economy through the Recovery Act. According to the White House Council of Economic Advisors, over the last nine months, 44,000 jobs have been created or retained in the state through the Recovery Act. [1/20/10]
The Seattle Times (Washington) - Stimulus funds going for green jobs in state
Washington state will receive another piece of the $787 billion federal stimulus spending package, this time a $6 million grant to train workers in energy-efficient construction jobs.
The money will be used to pay for 4,700 veterans, disabled or low-income adults and other residents to get certified to work in green industries -- one of the fields targeted for investment under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed by President Obama last February.
Washington credits money from the Recovery Act with preserving or creating 34,500 jobs -- most of them teaching positions funded by the state -- more than any other state except California and New York. [1/20/10]
The Charleston Gazette (West Virginia) - $6 million grant to put 1,600 people in ''green'' jobs
West Virginia is receiving $6 million in federal stimulus funds to promote clean energy jobs.
U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announced today that the money would go to the state's Workforce West Virginia office to train about 1,850 people.
The money is expected to help about 1,600 West Virginians find employment in 'green' jobs.
As part of the grant, about 70 people will receive certification for jobs at water and sewer plants, and 60 people will receive wind energy technology certificates across the state.
The money also will train current and future workers in the construction and bio-mass/bio-power industries. Training will be offered in retrofitting and installation, and 'green' entrepreneurship. [1/20/10]
Denver Business Journal (Colorado) - Colorado gets $6M for green-energy job training
Colorado will receive $5,998,050 through the federal stimulus program for worker training in emerging industries, including the renewable-energy industry.
The funds come from the U.S. Department of Labor under its State Energy Sector Partnership and Training Grants program and are being received by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet said Wednesday in a joint statement.
The Colorado funds will be used to train some 1,200 Colorado workers, the senators' announcement said. [1/20/10]

Dennis Tivel Senior has actively been researching the Tivel family connections for nearly a decade. He has traced family connections through seventeen generations from our youngest family member, back to the 15th century. Truly, the work has been a labor of love.
The first goal of Tivel.org is to present the results of Dennis work to family connections.
The second goal of the site is to help anyone who is interested in creating his/her own genealogy. We will do this through informative articles, tips, tutorials, and resource links on our blog.
We encourage family connections to contact us. You can use the contact form on our genealogy pages or blog to tell us about any information, photos, and documents that can be used to make our current genealogy more inclusive.
We want to hear from family connections who would like to help us at Tivel.org. There are many gaps in the genealogy that need to be filled. With each new generation, the genealogy expands to include new surnames, and these new family connections need to be recorded here.
Searching for Our Family Connections by Dennis Tivel Ancestry and genealogy mean roots. For most Americans, roots do not go very deep. America is about the future, not the past, as in most European countries. Americans arrived and had a tendency to move often, to start over and over again, to go west, etc. As a consequence many of us, including myself, would have great difficulty itemizing our ancestors beyond our grandfathers and grandmothers, who were still alive and with whom we were somewhat acquainted. Beyond them, we had scarcely any knowledge of their ancestors and where they came from or how they lived.
Hans Tivel Biography by Elizabeth Marie (Tivel) Kowalski My Father, Hans Tivel, was born in Viljandi, Estonia April 9th, 1878. His Father's name was Henri Tivel, and his Mother was Rita Karu. (My sister, Marguerite, was named for her.) Henri Tivel was a stage coach driver and the family lived above the station. Dad was a very young child at the time and he remembered riding high up on the coach with his father on many trips, and he described the sensation of traveling at such a height. The coach line serviced the public much on the order of the Greyhound bus lines today. New drivers would be exchanged at stations and would continue on with the passengers. Fresh horses would replace fatigued animals.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on this site, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

UPDATE: Now that I've earned my wings, I'm still flying and learning. This blog will
remain open and active for those interested in the flight training process, however, if you want to see
what I've been up to since becoming a pilot, please check out my columns in Sport Aviation magazine. - Brady
Today's flight was a bit overwhelming. I navigated to another airport and communicated on the radio for the first time. The radio alone wouldn't be overwhelming, but doing that while also still learning to fly the plane in a traffic pattern was a handful.I found if I'm concentrating too much on the radio communications, my flying suffers and vice versa. Radio communication is simple if you know the language. As the video shows, I'm still learning it. When we got back on the ground in Oshkosh, Jason told me most people feel overwhelmed when they first try to do all these tasks simultaneously. It seems like a simple thing, talking on the radio, but it's amazing how much it distracted me from flying. I'm hoping the more we practice the better I'll get at it. Next flight: emergencies and more landings

Hi Brady, you are doing just fine. I told you in a previous email that frustration can set in but this is normal. Pretty soon with practice, things will become automatic. If learning to fly was easy, more people would be pilots. You are becoming part of the elite (?) group. Thanks for sharing all your experience.

AIM calls for the recipient of radio call (ie Osh Ground) to be first, followed by type and N# of aircraft. Example: Oshkosh Ground, Light sport 430RA, This deviation is a bit unusual from the Who you want to talk to, who you are and what do you want format called out in the AIM.No doubt the pucker factor kicks in strong while communicating and in the pattern for landing.
Posted by Ron
@ 10:10 AM, November 20
Brady,Don't be so hard on yourself. I was totally impressed with how you handled yourself managing all of your tasks. It's obvious to me that you are figuring all of this stuff out and the fact that you are able to do so much after only a few hours in the air is very encouraging. By the way, I came across the term "helmet fire" the other day on wikipedia. Look it up!

"When we got back on the ground in Oshkosh, Jason told me most people feel overwhelmed when they first try to do all these tasks simultaneously." - Truthfully you are overwhelmed and will be for many more hours. I am surprised Jason has you talking while landing at this early stage of training. My CFI had me say the words out loud over the intercom initially after his actual calls and them before his actual calls. After I got more relaxed he would key the radio as I was "calling" - sneaky ! Then I was on my own, occasionally he would do the radio as we were in high stress situations and I was plenty busy. Aviate - navigate - communicate - in that order.

Brady you have just brought the memories flooding back of the single biggest problem that I had in learning to fly, using the radio! Your video made me chuckle because I was EXACTLY like that. It can be intimidating even if you're normally confident and fluent in communications. I think this is one of those things that just comes with practice, slowly but surely. I found it helpful to have an airband radio tuned to the local airport, exposure to the "lingo" helps you pick it up, subliminally. You can listen to any number of live ATC feeds at www.liveatc.net

Hi Brady,I'm coming into your training a little behind the power curve, so please bear with me while I give a couple of suggestions...__ Keep your hand on the throttle from takeoff through the climb and from the devcent until you are back at the hangar. My examiner almost failed me because of this...__ As others have said, the accepted way to talk on the radio is "OSH Ground, Remos N430RA"...most instructors will say not to break up your radio transmissions, but I do simply because if the controller is busy, I want his/her attention before I try to tell them what I want. __ Landings get better with practice...so practice, practice, practice :-)I know that it really seemed overwhelming until one day I went out to the airplane and everything just "clicked"...and I'm sure it will with you as well...just DO NOT GIVE UP...you CAN do this.As one CFI said to a class I want attending... "If you can count to 4, then you can learn to fly"I'm excited to see the rest of your video blog.

Sounds like you're doing just fine. It's a pretty steep learning curve at first, but as they say, practice makes perfect.I did my PP training at a towered airport (KHLG), so I learned the aviating and communicating simultaneously (every flight started and ended communication with the tower). I think this is one thing that makes me much more comfortable communicating with ATC than many other pilots are.I found that using a radio scanner to monitor ATC communication in my spare time also helped. It's easy to hear what you need to hear when you know what to listen for.Best of luck to you!

I'm hoping to take my PPL checkride in the next few weeks. I've been a student for 38 years. I started in 1970 and took a great many years off and then picked it up again. Like some other I've been training at a controlled field so I've had to use the radio.One thing I've found helpful is to use resources like liveatc.net jfktower.com and atcmonitor.com I just sit in the evenings sometimes and listen to the chatter and learn the lingo and the flow.Another thing I've used for navigating to new airports is to look at it using Google Earth to get an idea of what I'll see from the sky.Good Luck to youRandy Epstein

You're doing a great job, Brady. When I learnt to fly, prior to my lesson, I had to write every little thing down that would be spoken on the radio throughout the flight, from start up to shutdown, including the ATIS, and the responses from ATC, with blanks for the variables. As I went through the flight, I would fill in the blanks, and then 'read' the sentence out over the radio, such as "G-BVFX, at the North Tees, with "Alpha", requesting taxi for a VFR flight to the "west" etc, etc. Everyone handles things in different ways, and that was what worked for me. I needed a lot of paper and a spacious kneeboard tho' ,)Good luck with the flying!

I am really enjoying your videos! They bring back memories of my similiar problems with the radio! What helped me was to make a pattern diagram with the typical radio tranmissions written at each appropriate position. Then I used to practice while driving a car. Keep up the posts!

Watching Brady's learning curve has brought up a question. In the case of light sport aircraft. During radio communications - what do we call ourselves? ELSA is easy as Experimental but what about SLSA? Osh tower - Light Sport - XYZ or Remos XYZ, or just XYZ. To me "light sport" makes more sense but what are we officially? I have a friend who used (note past tense) "Challenger" in his radio calls - created quite a moment when he was working with ATC in class C. - couldn't understand how he was able to fly at 55 knots in a corporate jet.jim

We didn't include landings in the logbook data up top, so every now and then I'll mention where I'm at.Adam: Thanks for your comment. It's good to know others have gone through the same learning curve and came out successful in the end. Thanks also for sharing the link to liveatc.netRon: "Helmet fire" should've been the title of this post. Thanks for sharing the term. And again, it's nice knowing I'm not the only one that struggled with this at first.Phil Solomon: In the future, I may do a post about how we are recording the flights because I've received several questions. For now though, here are the basics: we're using two cams from raceoptics.com then synching them together with the audio recorded on an Edirol R-09. Using final cut pro, I edit it the video/audio together and toss in my narration (recorded on an iMac's built-in webcam). Brian: Thanks for your comment. Keep in touch and give us updates on your training. Have you soloed yet?Douglas & Randy: I've listened to my handheld several times this week for those exact reasons. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully it will help.Paul and Richard: Thanks for checking in and for your encouraging comments.Janet & Phil: I really like your suggestions. Since I'm a visual learner, I think it will help seeing the pattern with the appropriate calls at each spot. I think it will also help to see that it's always the same message with different blanks to fill in. I'm going to try this next time. Thanks for the tips!Larry: Thanks for checking in on me. As long as the weather cooperates we should have at least one video a week - and most weeks hopefully more.Jim: I've enjoyed your comments, and good question. Hopefully somebody will have an answer. Is it appropriate to use the manufacturer name in most calls - i.e. "Remos" ?

You did fine. If you find a pilot that says that he/she has never been where you are now, they are full of it. There will be more flights where you will be happy to be on the ground. Your solo flight will be one. I was never so happy when that plane was on the ground. Best of luck and keep up the good work, it will all come together soon.

Brady...very inspiring to watch your progress. I hope to be a student pilot myself next year if all goes well. Your experience with the radio is very similar to my experience working in mission control at NASA. Its not "normal" communication in the sense that the protocol is very precise and takes some practice. I found that rehearsing these conversations (by myself) could be done as many times as I wished and really helped me to get comfortable talking with flight controllers on a headset. After a while, you'll be as comfortable as talking on the phone. Great videos...looking forward to seeing more!!!

Keep up the video reports! I totally relate with your experiance. Entering control space and making those decisions while listening and communicating with the tower is truely multi-tasking. Can't wait to see your video on IFR through the same. Now that winter is here we will surely have some IFR weather to contend with.

Brady, you're doing great. Keep it up! One thing that really helped me with radio communications was to use the PC software program Aviation Radio Communications Made Easy, VFR Edition, from Comm1. You're right- it CAN be intimidating. But the Comm1 exercises really helped.

"We found this card perfect for the announcement of my granddaughter Averey. It allows for photos on the back as well. It is super adorable and current for today. Love!"
"Easy to modify, select pictures and choose fonts. We received lots of compliments from friends & family. In fact, the finished product was so gorgeous that my husband framed a copy for his desk at work! We are very satisfied and will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to our friends."
"This card is perfect! Really shows off our baby in the large photo on the front. Only wish the photo on the back was slightly larger. Everyone loved it and so did I!"
"This is the first time I have used Tiny Prints but I will definitely use them again for personalized stationary. I ordered the Lovely Toile: Chenille card in pink for my daughter's birth announcement. The process of designing the card was incredibly easy to complete, as was the ordering process. The card, envelopes and address labels arrived before the scheduled delivery date. The card itself was exactly like the photo on the website and extremely good quality. Everyone I have sent the card to has loved it and it makes a beautiful keepsake."
"We ordered these for our daughters birth announcements. They are perfect for the outer space theme that we have been using with her. The cards are beautiful and they print out beautifully."

Molecular biology is defined as "The study of the structure and function of large molecules associated with living organisms, in particular proteins and the nucleic acids DNA and RNA" (Oxford Dictionary of Biology, 4th ed., 2000), while cellular biology is the study of cells, "the structural and functional unit of most living organisms" (Oxford Dictionary of Biology, 4th ed., 2000). Molecular biology is among the most rapidly growing fields within biology with recent success stories such as the sequencing of the entire human genome (reported in Science and Nature). Molecular biology is unusual in that the major information source for molecular biologists is not journal articles, but public databases such as GenBank, PDB, and DDBJ (annotated below in the databases section). This is one reason why there are relatively fewer handbooks and treatises for molecular biology than there are for other biological subjects. There is a natural affinity between this chapter and the ones discussing reference materials for Biochemistry and Genetics. Given this very substantial overlap, it is essential to review the sources annotated in these sections for a more complete understanding of the literature of molecular biology.
Molecular biology information is available extensively on the World Wide Web. Many of the databases discussed here provide access to gene or protein sequences. Each time a researcher sequences a gene or protein, he or she is expected not only to publish the sequence in a research journal, but also to submit the sequence to a sequence database. Sometimes journals will not accept articles until the sequences have appeared in a database, which is one of the few cases in which journals will accept data previously published elsewhere. The annual Nucleic Acids Research Database Issue is the best source for information on the major databases. The 2001 Database issue (volume 29, issue 1) lists 95 databases, and there are many others as well.
There are innumerable excellent books, series, and Web sites containing information on protocols for molecular biology. This selected list contains a great deal of redundancy in order to provide access to various levels and currency of techniques. It may be necessary and most effective to peruse several examples, concluding with protocols that have been updated in an online database. Also, refer to the sections on Biochemistry and Biophysics and Genetics, and see the section "Methods, Protocols and Software" listed in the WWW Virtual Library of Cell Biology.

Amid the hubbub over the fiscal cliff these past few weeks, an important event happened Dec. 11 that many Americans probably missed: The union movement was struck a critical blow in the state it calls home.
That day, a "right to work" law was passed and signed into law in the birthplace of the United Auto Workers. As in 23 other states, Michigan workers no longer can be required to pay membership dues in order to have a job.
The state joined a growing list of right-to-work states that includes the entire South, Texas and much of the Midwest. A big part of the reason Michigan passed its law in December is because its neighbor, Indiana, had passed one in February and was already seeing success.
Union leaders don't like it, of course, and President Obama waded unsuccessfully into the debate. But Gov. Rick Snyder and Michigan legislators were only conceding to reality.
In today's global and highly competitive economy, employers cannot give in to unrealistic union demands and still create jobs. In a post written for the American Enterprise Institute, Dr. Mark Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, pointed out that since June 2009, more than two jobs have been created in right-to-work states for every one job created in forced-union-membership states, despite the fact that fewer Americans live in right-to-work states. The unemployment rate was a full percentage point lower in those right-to-work states.
For more evidence, look no further than your kitchen cabinet, which, if you are like many Americans, contains the last box of Hostess Twinkies you'll ever buy. Hostess, one of the country's most iconic brands, went out of business last year when the company couldn't come to terms with its union's demands. Now 18,000 people — union and nonunion members — are out of work.
People in Michigan are beginning to see this, which is why their elected officials felt free to change the law. Much of the auto industry has migrated south to right-to-work states. Michigan's November unemployment rate of 8.9 percent was the 46th worst in the nation. Detroit officials are trying to figure out the best way to shrink their city so they don't have to maintain infrastructure and public services in places where hardly anyone lives anymore.
Who's next? Who knows, but it's hard to see how Michigan will be the last state to take this step. Nationally, fewer than 12 percent of workers belonged to a union in 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 1983, more than 20 percent belonged.
Unions have played an important role in American history and can continue to do so. In the first part of the 20th century, workers saw them as a guarantor of good wages and benefits and were glad to join. But now employers and workers alike see them as job destroyers that provide little in return.
To reverse that trend, unions no longer can rely on brute force. Instead, they should provide such obvious benefits that people join willingly. Other powerful American associations succeed so well using carrots that they don't need a stick. AAA — the American Automobile Association — has 53 million members in the United States and Canada, and AARP has a membership of more than 37 million Americans over age 50. In both cases, members voluntarily send in their checks knowing those organizations will provide them benefits and effectively advocate on their behalf.
If membership weren't worth the dues, those organizations would die, and rightly so. The same should be true of unions.

Egg-cellent tip I read on Facebook: 1/2 tsp baking soda added to water while it boils will help the egg shell come right off.
Reviewed Jan. 17, 2013
Very Good - I used 1 tablespoon horseradish and that was plenty. These had a nice "bite" from the horseradish
Reviewed Nov. 22, 2012
My family loved these eggs. I had a co-worker who gave me eggs from her chickens. The eggs were super fresh; I used just 1 Tbls of the horseradish-which gave the eggs just a subtle hint of taste. Awesome recipe. Thanks for sharing.

When I made these I thinned the filling with sweet pickle juice, and it added another element of flavor that blended well with the current recipe. My husband's new favorite deviled eggs

Compare and contrast the following two stories:
KFC bans trans fat vs. New York looking to ban trans fat
What's the difference here? One is a corporation reacting to market forces, the other is a government institution legislating diet and menus in restaurants. Which is the best solution in reducing trans fat intake in our citizenry?
It's a question to which I don't have an easy answer. My preference is for the former, but I understand that there are times that there is a need for the latter.
But first, some information – while the majority of trans fat nowadays are created by the processed food industry, it's important to note that there are some trans fats that occur naturally, specifically amongst the milk and fat of ruminants (ie. cows, sheep, goats, etc). That means butter, milk and cheese from these ruminants all have some measure of trans fat, called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). I don't believe that anyone wants to go down the path that leads to the banning of milk, butter or cheese in restaurants.
What I believe the intent of the ban is to reduce or restrict items made with partially hydrogenated unsaturated plant fats (oils)…think margarine or Crisco, although there are many other products in this vein, including industrial agri-products that most food consumers likely have never come across, as they are added to things like Oreos, Fritos and Twinkies a long time prior to ending up at the supermarket.
So in reality, what people should be talking about is a ban on partially hydrogenated unsaturated plant fats and NOT a ban on trans fats, because the former is only a subset of the latter. Because of this misuse of language and misunderstanding of fat definitions, it's already strike one against any governmental ban.
The second strike comes from my own philosophy and biases: Supply the people with enough information and they can make decisions for themselves. Can a restaurant provide me with the information needed to make informed decisions? Absolutely. In fact, KFC did just that with their press release.
It should be noted that KFC has the resources to provide such press releases. My favorite teriyaki place down the street from me most assuredly does not have the funds or pull to get that kind of press. However, it is not impossible for said teriyaki restaurant to communicate what fats and oils are used in the back room.
Is not possible for all restaurants to keep a list (available upon request) that states the
fats used in each dish? Perhaps the restaurant owners out there could give me an idea on how feasible something like that could be.
I'm of the mind that for any industry that allows for a transparency in their business practices, the government should try to refrain from imposing it's will upon them. The restaurant industry, where production techniques are nominally known and ingredients can be easily communicated; I can't for the life of me see why we should ban foods. Contrast this against the production techniques and processes of the industrial farms I alluded to yesterday, which are hardly known.
What it boils down to for me is whether I want the ability to make the decision of what foods I eat (based off of the best possible information), or whether I want to have the government make that decision for me.

Hutchinson Cobra 29x2.25 Tubeless Ready Mountain TireThe Cobra, tested at the highest level by Olympic champion Julien Absalon, is a versatile tire that is ideal for dry trails. It features multiple knobs that optimize your traction on dry trails. The makeup of the tread consists of low profile knobs on top, for greater efficiency and lower rolling resistance, and high lateral knobs for excellent grip that will hold your line entering and exiting turns.
The Cobra has good mud clearance and puncture resistance, but it shines above others in its class with superior lightness and dependable performance. The 2.25 width is the best balance of between having a narrow tread print for quickness without conceding necessary grip on tight singletrack. The narrower width means less material used as well, so each Cobra is a mere 760 grams.
The Hutchinson Cobra is tubeless ready. You can run very low pressure for added grip without the fear of a pinch flat, which you usually happens miles away from your car in the parking lot.
- Only 660 grams each
- Tubeless Ready for lower pressure and no more pinch flats
- Perfect for dry conditions
- Hardskin provides excellent puncture resistance

Also guys, is anyone on the protein shakes with this programme. I am debating some protein powder but i am so lost!! There are so many to choose from, how do i know whats right for me?
Levy501 - My favorite breakfast is egg whites mixed with homemade salsa or veggies and served on top of a slice of whole wheat bread. I just stir all the egg whites & stuff together in a skillet. I'm no chef, so others probably have much better ideas!
Hi, Team February! So excited to join in. I would love to see your goals for this challenge so I can bug you about them. Here's mine:
At the end of this challenge:
I will be a size 6. Specifically, I will be wearing that pair of gray dress pants that have been gathering dust in my closet.
I will be about 140 pounds. The number doesn't matter to me as much as the shape.
I will be able to crank out 10 perfect pushups in a row. (I'm at about 1/2 right now...)
It helps me to post my meals for accountability, but please don't feel pressured to read them:
M1 - vegetarian chili (breakfast of champions)
M2 - grilled chicken breast, veggies
M3 - vegetarian chili
M4 - EAS bar
M5 - whole wheat toast with 1 tbsp. sunbutter
M6 - didn't happen. was coaching a basketball game and got home late
Water - about 64 oz.
Workout - upper body
Oooooops! Messed up my dates - I wanted to sign on with a group starting Feb 18. Sorry! But good luck to all of you!
Levy501 - I wouldn't stress over it (my theory is that stressing over "getting it right" is usually more detrimental than getting it a little "wrong"). Personally, for my first challenge I used EAS Soy Protein powder (chocolate) and Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein (also chocolate). My primary reasons were (a) low price per gram of protein - with two kids in college I'm watching $$ closely; and (b) easy availability - they can be picked up at WalMart. I have found that you probably won't want to mix soy protein in regular milk, or whey protein in soymilk. They aren't bad, but the taste is ... off.
If you do use a powder and don't use a blender for mixing, I'd suggest a Blender Bottle (WalMart carries those too last time I looked). They mix really well, especially if the milk or soymilk isn't too cold (really chilly liquids tend to make the powders clump), and just rinsing them under hot water cleans 'em up nicely.
Hey, Billy Joe! How was your day today?
M1 - whole wheat toast with 1 tbsp sunbutter
M2 - vegetarian chili
M4 - orzo and black bean soup
M5 - vegetable soup
M6 - EAS bar
Water: less than 64 oz. Will do better tomorrow.
I've got to get more protein in here somewhere. I'm not much of a meat eater, unless it is a huge, juicy hamburger. So obviously that's out...
I'm in! Started today, 2/13. Let's keep our heads down and push on for the next 12 weeks!
How's everyone getting on?
Murph6 thanks for the info!
Went for Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs (1 egg + 2 whites) and a small slice of wholemeal toast!! Was yumee!!
Cooked some veggies in the oven last night with salmon so will use left overs in an omelette tomorrow morning :)
Day 4 reached my 10 on cardio this morning, looking forward to lower body tomorrow. Think I can feel a change already after 4 days! May sound silly to some but I have noticed a 'better me' waking up in the morning, its getting easier!!
What exercises are people using for upper and lower body?
Ohhhhhhhhhh. Salmon sounds good! Levy501, I swear I had a headache for the first two days and it had to be some kind of sugar withdrawal! Ha! Much better now. I'm sure you are a "better you" now.
I'm total old school on upper and lower body. I do the most basic lifts, pushups, etc. Never could figure out the machines, bands, etc. UBWO: Push ups, inverted rows, bench press, biceps, triceps LBWO: Squats, step downs, pitcher squats, lunges. I usually add a couple of planks to each workout.
Popo, how was your first day???
M1: WW toast w/ sunbutter
M2; vegetarian chili
M3: vegetarian chili
M4: EAS bar
M5: vegetarian chili and grilled chicken breast
M6: ww toast with honey
Water: 64 oz.
Dang, where the heck is the protein? Need to work on that.
I'm rollin' and feelin good, thanks for asking. I had a real high stress day today. This would usually make me hit the junk food but I stayed strong, ate good. I'm taken this 1 day at a time. As a wise man once told me, "We all in this together "
Stay strong everyone
Levy501 I eat a bowl of instant oatmeal with cottage cheese mixed in on cardio days and an omelet made of 2 whites, 1 whole egg, a little cheese and some salsa on lifting days. On Free Day we usually have Popovers with Bacon and a glass of juice.
I use the Lean 15 powder or bar depending on day after my workout
Lunch is usually a turkey sandwich with a salad or leftovers from dinner if I went out
2nd snack I alternate between fruit with cheese stick or Greek yogurt with fruit or another lean 15 depending on convenience.
Dinner varies widely because we eat out a lot but I look up the menus before we go and choose based on what has the right nutritional goals for me. If a healthy portion can't be found I divide the meal into one and take the rest home. I do eat a lot of steak and shellfish when I eat out.
Last snack is usually a lean 15 shake but if I am in a dessert mood I do fruit with whipped cream or frozen Yogurt. If my wife has baked I will sneak in a brownie or cookie once in a while and just train a little harder the next day. :D
I highly recommend the book "Eating for Life" and the magazine "Cooking Light" for nutritional preparations of more interesting food than plain chicken breasts.
2012 Body-for-LIFE Champion, Mens 30-45
Thank you for the book reccomendations! Our grocery list now always includes cottage cheese, cold cut turkey and frozen chicken. The other biggest change we've made with preparing to eat and planning ahead is have an assortment of both fruits and veggies at any time.
On protein powders- doesn anyone have input on whey vs. soy? I'm a really big fan of protein bars vs. shakes my favorite options are Cliff Builder Bars any flavor(the plain cliff bars are way heavy on carb vs. protein), Power bar Protein plus chocolate brownie (old formula- the new power bars are a different consistency/texture that's like a cardboard 3 muskateteers filling), and of course the EAS bars(any of them). I'm thinking the powder would be a little more pocket book friendly to fit into my daily menu at least once per day, so any suggestions are welcome!
Keep it up ya'll!
I cannot be trusted on free days.
I'll spare you the details, but I will admit that BBQ potato chips were involved. Geez.
Back at it.
Does anyone ever cook up ground bison?
Murph, not to worry, there's going to be a few missteps along the way. This time I'm determined not to quit just because I'm not perfect with my diet everyday, like I've done in the past. I'm thinkin more like 2 steps forward, one step back (on occasion.) I hope everyone is doing well and staying the course. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
I can say the first 5 days were good with food and workouts but we went out of town over the weekend... With the driving and road trip it was really hard to stay on track. We got back at midnight then up for work at six. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna plan this week out better. I won't give up, just need to plan better... Tomorrow is a new day and I'm off to the garage for lower body :)
Don't worry about overdoing it on Free day the first few times. Once your body gets used to eating cleaner and smaller portions overeating on free day will give you a hangover feeling on Monday that will make you naturally start cutting back so you feel better.
Just stay focused on making progress and don't feel like you have to start over because of a bad meal choice or two. When I did my last challenge I had plenty of food mistakes, missed workouts and days I just didn't want to do it anymore but the next day I just pretended like they didn't happen. My only goal was to finish the 12 weeks and actually submit my entry packet. You can imagine how shocked I was to get the call that I won! Never in a million years had that thought entered my head during the three months.
I did the challenge while getting blood transfusions every two weeks due to a rare form of Leukemia I have been fighting for 4 years now. If I could do it, I promise you can too.
Brian Miller
2012 Men's 30-45 Champion
Brian, your story is very inspirational. I know we all need inspiration, there will be good days and bad days. For a number of reasons it's really important that I stick with it this time out. I hope everyone else is staying on tract, if not, tomorrow's another day, get back on that horse!

I have one Hitachi i-clean split AC 2ton unit installed in my home. I want to connect another indoor ductless unit to the already installed outdoor compressor. I only need to use one indoor unit at a time. How do I connect two indoor units to a single compressor - is this possible?
If his house is relatively new and well insulated and not too enormous (1500 SF or less) and not in a very hot area, two tons is probably enough for the whole house most of the time. I've got 2.25 tons downstairs and 2.5 tons upstairs in a 3200 SF house and it's always been more than enough so 2 tons for 1500 SF or less is probably fine even if you run both evaporators at once.
However, I would want to be sure that you could switch off one of the two evaporators because that seems essential to his planned usage. It could be for energy savings or just because he already knows 2 tons isn't enough for the entire house, he doesn't say.
The actual question of connecting two evaporators to one condensor is quite easy, you just need to add a T to the freon supply and a T to the freon return. But how will the compressor be told to turn on? You don't want the room with the evaporator you are not using to run the compressor.
And how do you stop freon from going to the evaporator you are not using?
The outdoor unit needs to have a control board that allows for more than on indoor unit to hook to. At minimal you would need to changed the board unless it already has it in it, which is not common. Then the system must have separate valves for each indoor unit so to prevent refrigerant flowing to the unit not being used.
Yes it's possible. If you really do use only 1 at a time, this piping (tee it in where possible) will work. Only 1 terminal will work at a time and the condenser will only see 1 indoor coil (the load).
If you use more than 1 terminal at a time, then it depends if the outdoor unit (outdoor compressor) can meet the demand (indoor coils). A 2-ton outdoor unit will give you a little more than 2-tons when more than 1 terminal unit is operating but there is a limit.
Each manufacturer can be different regarding how to wire in the additional thermostat. Check with a rep to find out the exact Tstat wiring (i.e., the inclusion of another indoor unit) and Tstat programming.
Good Luck!

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. Our basic authorities come from four federal statutes: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
OSC's primary mission is to safeguard the merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing. For a description of prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), click here.
PPPs & Whistleblower Protection
OSC receives, investigates, and prosecutes allegations of PPPs, with an emphasis on protecting federal government whistleblowers. OSC seeks corrective action remedies (such as back pay and reinstatement), by negotiation or from the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), for injuries suffered by whistleblowers and other complainants. OSC is also authorized to file complaints at the MSPB to seek disciplinary action against individuals who commit PPPs. For more information on how we process PPP complaints, click here.
Disclosure Unit
OSC provides a secure channel through its Disclosure Unit for federal workers to disclose information about various workplace improprieties, including a violation of law, rule or regulation, gross mismanagement and waste of funds, abuse of authority, or a substantial danger to public health or safety. For more information on our Disclosure Unit, click here.
Hatch Act Unit (Political Activity)
OSC promotes compliance by government employees with legal restrictions on political activity by providing advisory opinions on, and enforcing, the Hatch Act. Every year, OSC's Hatch Act Unit provides over a thousand advisory opinions, enabling individuals to determine whether their contemplated political activities are permitted under the Act.
Hatch Act Unit also enforces compliance with the Act. Depending on the severity of the violation, OSC will either issue a warning letter to the employee, or prosecute a violation before MSPB. For more information on our Hatch Act Unit, click here.
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (Veterans' Rights)
OSC protects the civilian employment and reemployment rights of military veterans and members of the Guard and Reserve by enforcing the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). For more information about our USERRA program, click here.
Section 2302(c) of title 5 of the U.S. Code makes agency heads and officials with personnel authority responsible (in consultation with OSC) for informing federal employees of their rights and remedies under chapters 12 and 23 of title 5. These chapters deal with prohibited personnel practices, whistleblower disclosures, political activity, and access to OSC and MSPB.
OSC endeavors to assist agencies in carrying out their employee information responsibilities, including by the development of a general guide to federal employee rights and remedies under title 5. Click here for web and PDF versions of this resource.

What comes first for you, the plant or the pot? For me it's usually the pot. When a friend presents me with a special pot, it's a given that I'll plant it with succulents. But I don't always know what will look good in it. So I ask the pot what it wants. I take it to the nursery, and walk the aisles with it, trying on plants. What I look for are good scale and proportion; repetitions of shapes, colors or patterns; and (sometimes) an element of whimsy.
Above: This was a gift from potter Don Hunt, whose work I collect, and who sells at San Diego's Cactus & Succulent Society shows. Dots in the glaze, and the fact that the pot seemed to be asking for a trailing plant, inspired the selection of string of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus). I added beads for bling. Continue Reading →

DAC chapter presents memorial gift of books
The Pocahontas Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Colonists, recently presented four of the Society's lineage books to the Library of Virginia in memory of past Chapter Regent Mary Leigh Boisseau. Boisseau, who died earlier this year, was a genealogist, author, and active volunteer supporting veterans and active duty military throughout Virginia. She was serving as chapter registrar and Virginia State First Vice Regent at the time of her death.
Library of Virginia Collections Management Coordinator Tom Ray accepted the books at the chapter's Sept. 13 meeting from Chapter Librarian Betty Camp.
The Pocahontas Chapter, with 30 members, is one of nine chapters in Virginia. The Chapter's members are female descendants of an ancestor who rendered civil or military service in any of the colonies prior to July 4, 1776. The Pocahontas Chapter meets four times a year in Henrico County. For details, visit http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vapcdac

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Convenient that these reports of the Cubs interest in Choo have come out near the end of another total failure of a season on the field.
Despite the fact the season is still under way, and if there could be any direct reports linked to the Cubs, they would likely get nailed with tampering charges, the slurpers are already falling all over themselves, patting each other on the back with how they have been right all along about this rebuilding process completely ignoring that signing Choo would be the exact same type of signing they have whined and cried against the last two years. The major league team is worse than it was two years ago and no closer to being competitive than they were the last two seasons when the slurpers stood on their soap boxes claiming that spending money was dumb.
Typical hypocrisy.
And this report about Choo is no different than the reports of the Cubs interest in Fielder, Pujols, Sanchez, Darvish or numerous other top FA's the last few years that the Cubs never signed.
But some people are completely satisfied that the Cubs are trying as hard as possible as long as a couple reporters write an article about how much the Cubs are trying while reality has a AAA team playing for top dollar ticket prices on the field.

ITHACA, N.Y. — Nebraska was knocked out of the NWCA National Duals, falling to host Cornell 19-17 in Sunday's regional final.
No. 10 Cornell advanced to the championship round next weekend in Minneapolis. The next event for the No. 13 Huskers is the Big Ten championships March 9 and 10.
Cornell never trailed, as it won the first three matches to take a 10-0 lead. NU won three of the next four to make it 16-11. Then Cornell got a big win at 184 pounds as Steve Bosak, ranked fourth nationally, earned a 3-0 decision over No. 8 Josh Ihnen.
Caleb Kolb and Spencer Johnson won decisions in the final two matches, but that left the Huskers two points short.
Earlier in the day, NU advanced to the regional final by beating 11th-ranked Virginia 28-8. The Cavaliers, who have seven ranked wrestlers, won the first two matches before the Huskers won the last eight.
Five Huskers — Kolb, Johnson, Jake Sueflohn, James Green and Robert Kokesh — went 2-0 on the day.
No. 13 NEBRASKA 28, NO. 11 VIRGINIA 8: 125 pounds: Matt Snyder, V, tech. fall Eric Coufal, 16-0. 133: George DiCamillo, V, dec. Shawn Nagel, 8-2. 141: Ridge Kiley, NU, dec.
