This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Donald Driver
I really appreciate this man. He's is actually an athlete that kids can look up to and learn from. He isn't afraid to thank God first before anyone else for the blessings in his life. In today's world it isn't often that athletes who make a lot of money thank God for what they have been blessed with. Donald has a wonderful work ethic, does a lot for charities and those less fortunate than he, loves his family, can dance, has one heck of a smile AND appreciates what an organization like the Green Bay Packers has done for him.
He's stil a young man and has many, many years to continue to make Packer fans proud of him. And, he will.
Let Me Tell You About Our Carnival Cruise from Hell
Back in the late 90's we booked a cruise on the Carnival mid-sized ship - The Tropicale. It was an older ship but still going strong. This would be our second cruise - the first cruise was on a beautiful ship called the Royal Majesty and was not a Carnival ship - a slightly larger ship than the Tropicale.
A few months before we were to take our cruise on the Tropicale, the ship was in the middle of the ocean when one of her engines caught fire. It crippled the ship and the ship was right in the path of a tropical storm that was headed towards the ship. Long story short, the ship got back to port and all cruises up to ours were cancelled. We were assured that the ship would be in tip top shape mechanically and clean and ready to set sail. We were a bit concerned and hesitant but decided not to cancel our vacation on the ship.

A whirring mechanical lift raised Davien Graham's wheelchair to the witness stand in Department X on the fourth floor of the Los Angeles County courthouse in Alhambra.
Pain burned at the base of his spine.
His eyes met Jimmy Santana's for the first time since the shooting. He thought Santana seemed much smaller sitting at the defense table than he had with the gun in his hand. In his baggy blue jail uniform, he looked like a child.
Two months earlier, on Jan. 12, 2008, Davien had been gunned down as he rode his bike in front of his church, a bystander in a gang war that had raged in Monrovia for two years.
He recognized Santana as the shooter. They had gone to school together. Still, Davien was afraid to identify him to police. He had been raised by a father and an uncle who were Crips, who taught him that victims don't snitch.
But Davien had shunned gangs for a Christian life, and believed lying was wrong. So when asked by detectives, he had circled Santana's photo in a lineup of mug shots.
Now he was being asked to set aside fears of retaliation and testify.
Staring at Santana, Davien said the first thing he remembered telling his family after the shooting was, "I forgive the person who did this to me."
Santana stared back, appearing unmoved.
Sitting in his wheelchair, legs paralyzed, Davien could see Santana's mother in the gallery, a small woman with a strained face. A group of young people lounged behind her.
Maybe they were in the car with Jimmy that day.
Police never caught the getaway driver.
The prosecutor asked a question, addressing Davien as John Doe, an effort to protect his identity. It didn't matter. Everyone involved in the case knew Davien.
"Do you see the man who shot you here in court today?"
"On the right side of the courtroom, and he's wearing a blue uniform," Davien said.
That was all the judge needed to hear. He ordered Santana to stand trial. Davien was free to go.
But he didn't feel free.
Sheriff's investigators said he wasn't at risk, and his family didn't need protection. But he didn't trust the Sheriff's Department. The sheriff had sent a task force to Monrovia to stop the gang violence. They dropped warnings at gangsters' homes.
His uncle got one. So did Davien.
That upset him. Unlike his uncle, Davien had never joined a gang.

Break dancing and hip-hop moves are gaining renewed popularity among young dancers and up-and-coming artists.
Hip-Hop's popularity was reflected during the recent MTV dance competition show, "America's Best Dance Crew" produced and hosted by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson. The show's March 27 finale attracted nearly 5 million viewers, and ranked high in the 12- to 34-year-old age range.
The MTV television network recently announced that the dance competition show would return for a second season. And "Dance Crew" is only one of several dance shows that include hip-hop elements, including the popular show "So You Think You Can Dance?" on the FOX television network.
Dancers who want to practice or perfect their hip-hop moves under the guidance of a master of the dance can attend Ballet Nevada's Hip-Hop master class on Friday. The $15 class starts at 4 p.m. and will be held at 2920 Mill St. in Reno.
"Anyone can come, not just experts," said Carrie Wick, Director of Ballet Nevada. "It's going to be a lot of fun."
The class is taught by hip-hop dance artist Joel Gamble, or "Jo`~L," who has opened for artists such as Marques Houston, B2k, Ashanti and George Huff, among others.
Gamble has trained with choreographers who work with popular artists Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Destiny's Child and Aaliya.
Over the years, he has developed a diverse style by studying tap, hip-hop, funk and jazz styles of dance.
Gamble is locally grown, and is returning to teach the hip-hop class to develop "the next generation of dancers."
"Joel is a wonderful dancer," Wick said. "He's from here, so he'll be visiting us again throughout the season."
Growing up, Gamble found a creative outlet in music and dance. Gamble said he sang in church and in choir at school, eventually being selected to participate with the Creative Performing Arts Center formerly housed in Parklane Mall in Reno.
The Creative Performing Arts Center taught dancing, singing and acting skills to more than 1,000 at-risk youth back in 2003.
Gamble said he was able to explore his love for dancing, as well as choreography and singing, and earned several awards during his time there. In 2005, Gamble auditioned for "So You Think You Can Dance" in Los Angeles and made it through the first round, Wick said.
After that, Gamble studied in summer intensive programs at Synthesis Dance Studio and Debbie Reynolds Millennium Dance Complex.
For more information on the Master Class with Jo`~L, or to register for the class visit the Ballet Nevada Web site at: www.balletnevada.com or email: email@example.com or call 775-329-2026.
Ballet Nevada also offers classes in ballet, jazz, tap, "Tiny Treasures," boys dance, lyrical jazz and "Movement for Mobility."

Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Sara Gambetta moved to SP
Let us discuss actively,what is the lastest news on multi-event,who will continue progress ,who will drop down in your mind,did the scores will grow or down and so on,
Last edited by nianchengyu on Sat Aug 10, 2013 3:08 am, edited 7 times in total.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
Re the heptathlon, these are the main questions for 2013 for me, based on the last couple of seasons and the upcoming champs in Russia:
1. Can Ennis build on her 2012 form and break 7000pts?
2. Will Chernnova get back to her best?
3. Is this the end for Dobrynska or can she return to the medals?
4. Is Oeser over her injuries?
5. Can any other Russians step up? Bolshova and Savitskaya?
6. Will the top juniors continue with their great progression - Ikauniece, Schippers, KJT
7. Will Schwarzkopf be at the same level?
8. Can Nana Djimou and Yosypenko – just outside medals – continue this form?
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
1. I think Jess will be over 6900 again, but 7000 I'm not so sure. One assumes that Chernova will come out fighting - she will be on home turf defending her title - so hopefully this will inspire Jess as well, but will she be on a downer after London?
2. Chernova has still only had one exemplary season; 2011. She was the only woman in the top 6 in London that did not end up with an overall heptathlon PB. We all know she has the ability to set a massive score, so defending her title at home may be the time to do it. And she has a BYE to qualify as defending champion.
3. Dobrynska is always an enigma. She started off in good form in London, but messed up her two strongest events, the SP and LJ The question is now psychological and whether she is mentally strong enough to carry on, especially with her personal circumstances. Judging by her 100h and HJ she was heading for over 6600 in London and would have been a medal challenger.
4. Oeser was doing ok in London despite her achilles injury, but DNF the 800m. Had she finished she would have been touching the top 10. Not her usual recent form but good considering her injury. I think she can get back to 6600 next season but I don't think that will be enough to medal.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
5. An interesting one for me. Chernova has a BYE so we will see another 3 Russians with her on the start line. Just like the w400m, Bolshova & Savitskaya left their best form behind them at the nationals. However, both still performed well setting some PBs & being at a level just below their best form. Bolshova is the better runner & overall more consistent jumper but Savitskaya is far superior in the throwing events so is more rounded & comes out with 200+ better PB. Savitskaya may not have been the medal challenger predicted but to finish in the top 8 in her first international champs was superb.
Ekaterina Bolshova
Cherboksary (6466) 13.53/ 1.91/ 13.58/ 24.17/ 6.45/ ?/ ?
Helsinki (6298) 13.66/ 1.86/ 12.36/ 24.32/ 6.30/ 40.47/ 2:10:10
-2 x PBs in Helsinki
-Needs to improve her throwing events - only 16th in the SP, over 1m down on her best
-JT needs a big improvement. All the top women can throw comfortably over 45m & most near 50m.
Kristina Savitskaya
London (6452) 13.37/ 1.83/ 14.77/ 24.46/ 6.21/ 43.70/ 2:12.27 Cherboksary (6681) 13.52/ 1.88/ 15.25/ 24.61/ 6.65/ 46.83/ 2:14.73
-3 PBs in London
-LJ way down on her best
-JT 3m down on her best & significantly lower than the other top women
-Would have had to be at her very best to medal
Anna Bogdanova was showing great form in 08/09 but then had a baby break, returned below form in 2011 & injured in 2012. She could in theory do a Scharwzkopf-type jump in 2013 & if she is just near her PB level she can do damage as some of her PBs are great – 100h – 13.09, HJ – 1.88, SP – 14.8, LJ – 6.5, 800m – sub 2:10
6. Ikauniece was superb in both Helsinki & London, PBing in both. She's over 6400 pts to be one of the top younger athletes. Her weak event is the SP at just over 12m but this will improve with age & of course she has the 50+ JT. She has good sprint speed, but she needs to tidy up her hurdles and LJ – her 100mh doesn't reflect her sprint speed and her LJ needs to be more consistent. Of course Latvia also has Grabuste, so this is a good rivalry for them. I will leave you to comment on Schippers, nianchengyu, but the Dutch woman set some good PBs in London, especially that great HJ, but unfortunately she tailed off on the second day.
7. Lilli's injury in Talence will probably mean that is it for her at the 6600+ level & I feel she will be back down to being a 6400 athlete. Had she not got injured she may have been able to repeat it, but her running and jumping is mediocre at best, so I don't see her as a medal threat again.
8. These two women were great in Helsinki & repeated that form in London. Overall they are strong but still have some weak events that can be improved. Like Skujyte, it was a shame to see them drop from medal contention because they couldn't hang on in the 800m. Moscow could be similarly close so they really need to improve their endurance.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
1.Dafne Schippers mainly got improvements in LJ and HJ,flying to 1.80m indeed a good thing,but how to deal with other events and treat her knee is critical.What is more,how to transfer indoor achievements to outdoors,how to enhance her SP and JV,even with hurdles and 800m,her speed is terrific and showed 8.18s,8.26s 60mH result this winter already,however,not obviously improvements even not stumble in london.Of course,that suggest she has larger room to go up.As for her sprint,I am confident she has chances to rise to a new level if staying fit.After all,her biggest problem for heptathlon is her knee trouble.As long as treating knees well,her future will be brillant.
2.Skujyte has a fantastic year but regretly no medals in london,unbeliveable she get HJ,SP "B"standard both.she set 1.92m HJ pb,17.31m HB,6.43w/2.3,6.34m pb,8.57s 60mH pb and 54.10m JVwhich I never notice before.As ages increasing,her speed is hard to breakthrough,I predict she can got around 6450p in 2013.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
3.Sara Gambetta,nearly forgotten this year for injury,I do not know how her current information.She potentially has chances to be unusual type in heptathlon,even if injury with her,she tossed shot to 15.38m and already a 51m JVer,if she can recover well,could she be world-class in hep and throws?Let us see.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
There was an article on the DLV facebook site this week on Gambetta, Rath and some other heptathletes doing warm weather training. It seems she is over the torn ligament that ruined her 2012 season. She was looking very powerful and muscular.
Gamebetta's problem is that she doesn't have as much natural speed as some of the other women, and it's the speed events that get you the most points. Her hurdles are just atrocious - her PB is just 14.66 which nets her just 887 points, whereas if she were 1 sec quicker at 13.66 she'd be getting 1027 points (and let's face it; 13.66 isn't even that fast) However, compare this to her JT, which is very strong - her PB here is 51.17 - but this equates to just 883 points. Until the points system is evened out and thrower-types are properly rewarded, she'll struggle to get the really big scores.
The hurdles is the event she needs to improve the most but her 800m is also extremely poor at 2:24.74. She's very similar to Skujyte in many respects, although better than the Lithuanian at the same age and is naturally faster over 200m.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
It is not the level of points that matter, it is only the gradient. Can you restructure the argument in those terms. This requires an assessment of how much of a performance differential gives what sort of point differential. This can be highlighted with some cases across athletes. [I realize that this is not an easy thing to do; I could do part of it (the quantitative number pushing, but would not have the full background to assess the arguments about the appropriateness of the gradient). This is also the right ground for those like decafan, etc (and our new poster whose handle is complicated enough for me that I have to copy it here -- nianchengyu).
I would tend to say it is a bit of a tough thing to lose so many points to an element such as basic speed versus basic strength. However, poor hurdles performance at this level is probably not that closely connected to raw speed. I doubt that Ennis is 2 seconds faster over 100m but she has honed her skills much better.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
More interesting things are that her 14.66s,1.82m HJ,24.31s 200m and 6.41m LJ pb comes form 2010[17year-old],in 2011 she had 14.85s,1.81m,24.65s and 6.23m LJ each but enhance her SP and JV much.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
4.Katarina Johnson-Thompson had great speed,fabulous jumps but very weak throws,yes,she is still young,however,not many athletes can enhance their throws in their senior time like Ennis,so her problem seems to how to balance her different elements.If not,she is likely to move to jump events.
5.Yorgelis Rodríguez of Cuba will be 18-year-old next year,already 5994p this year,could she find more potentials for not many young talents are capable of being medal contenders?
6.Ivona Dadic is brillant to break AUT NR this year,she is one of the unusual generation heptathletes,her 200m already broke 24s but only 14.55s 100mH,comparing to 13.26s and 24.70s around pb.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
1. Can Ennis build on her 2012 form and break 7000pts?
possibly, however part of her London points boost was on a veyr fats track. I'm not sure she will better her hurdles or 200m times. However Ennis have to remain at her best to fight-off a fully fit Chernova. 2011 showed one poor event and Chernova will win.
2. Will Chernnova get back to her best?
Luck, prep and training will answer that. However a "poor" Chernova still got a Bronze.
3. Is this the end for Dobrynska or can she return to the medals?
Let's hope she can. She still broke a world record this year and still has gas in the tank, it's the motivation after tragic circumstances. Still until she dropped out in London she wasn't exactly flopping out even if she was clearly not at her best. By all accounts she is a tough cookie who never exactly had it easy and is likley to be back.
4. Is Oeser over her injuries?
Lets hope so.
5. Can any other Russians step up? Bolshova and Savitskaya?
I'm personally predicting big things for Savitskaya, 21 and alreayd in the top 8 with a good score. She has little in the way of weaknesses besides the 200m IMO and looks likely to improve everything else. As for Bolshova, I'm not sure she is anywhere near the potential or class of Savitskaya or Chernova and the Olympics and Europeans showed a number of younger Heptathletes are already a fair bit stronger than her.
6. Will the top juniors continue with their great progression - Ikauniece, Schippers, KJT
I'd have placed Savitskaya in this group as she is more or less the same age. All 4 look to be genuinely excellent Heptathletes and all of them have different weaknesses to work upon (LI - Shit put and jumps, DS her stamina, Javelin, 800m and jumps, KJT her throws, KS her 200m). If anything Schippers looks the overall weakest one but who knows.
The Heptathlon certainly looks amazingly exciting in future, these girls have made large jumps in progress and looks like they are continuing
7. Will Schwarzkopf be at the same level?
I was actually gutted at her DP and hugely happy it was a mistake. Well deserved and I expect now she has sorted herslef out she wants to maintain into the worlds next year. She doesn't have huge number sof years left but seems to be the best in germany right now.
8. Can Nana Djimou and Yosypenko – just outside medals – continue this form?
Nana had a good yera winning the Europeans (I know it was a weaker field etc) but I think her and Yosypenko aren't going to get much better and have a huge number of youth all aged 19-21 who are only just below them and seem to be making big jumps already in performaces.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
I fail to se where jess is going to make up significant points to enable her to go over 7000 unless she equals PB in all events in 1 Hep
I don't see significant improvement in hurdles
I'll be happy if high jump stays the same as it's not the strength it once was
There are about 30 points to be gained in SP on her OG score but it would be very easy to lose this somewhere else
I can imagine running faster over 200m in an individual race but at the end of day 1 i'm not so sure
LJ 6.50 seems to be her limit, changing legs and not having very sound technique means i don't see much improvement here
JT i can imagine 50+ she had very steady improvement in this event
800 she can run faster but it's not worth many points
it's not that she can't do it, it's just that there is no room for error at all
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
The gradient does matter, absolutely. But also the scoring method is formula based but when they were contrived many years ago the bench marls in the events were different. The landscape has changed since then. The other, major point IMO, is the fact that the points and formula didnt change when they introduced the new javelin model. Currently athletes lose about 10% compared to the old model, yet the scores remained the same. This is not right! (The impact of this is that, had JJK had the new model, of her 5 scores over 7100 pts, there would only be 2 with the new javelinl, and her 7291 drops to 7203. Turn it round, and Kluft's best, 7031, jumps up to 7125 with the JJK model and she'd have two other scores over 7000pts)
Some argue that despite the 100h, LJ and 200m awarding more points than the JT and SP, its the spread of points and how much the top and bottom end get, such that the best hurdlers gain, say, 200 pts on the worst hurdlers whereas the best JTers gain 400 pts on the worst JTers. You could argue that specialist throwers therefore gain an unfair advantage. But this is a red herring, as the reality is you need to be good at all events and have all round athleticism. Specialist throwers will, on the whole, not have the speed over 200m or endurance over 800m to be competitive over 7 events.
Re raw speed vs 200m. It's not a fixed correlation, I agree, but fast heptathletes over 200m tend to run the fastest times over 100mh.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
She was only 45 points off in London and she did not hit every event. The point about her Olympic SP was that it wasn't about not being in good SP form; she'd already thrown further in 2012. It's just one of those events where if your timing is slightly off you're down. She could quite have easily got another 30 pts+ in that event and there's no reason why she can't throw further again. The key 'mess up' in London was her HJ (again) but it was a question of timing her take-off, not of ability. I guess all technial events come down to technique, but she had the height on 1.89. She doesn't need to jump 1.9+ again (and doesn't need even 1.89 to win) but she does need 1.89 for 7000 pts. She had 1.89 in her in London and again, she had jumped higher than 1.86 in 2012 so it's not like we are asking her to be at 1.92+ form again.
In terms of improving events going forwards, it has to be the LJ and JT. With her speed and spring ability, there is no reason she cannot jump over 6.6 regardless of leg switch. I can see a 40pt gain in this event. She just needs a little more focus, just like she did with the JT and training under Mick Hill. She has the ability to pick up technique going by her other event improvements and the LJ should come more naturally to a speed athlete than the throwing events. Then, in that JT, I can see her improving again. The JT isn't quite like the SP where you benefit a lot from being taller, and I don't see why Jess can't sneak up to 50m. Her improvement curve in this one event has been great since Osaka.
Of course you are right it's about putting it together on one day; it always is. But she can do it! The problem for me is the 100mh. I doubt she'll do 12.5 again in a heptathlon, but marks below take her tantalisingly close to 7000 and I dont have a problem with these:
12.80, 1.89, 14.50, 22.90, 6.50, 48m, 2:08 - 6986
Get that LJ up to 6.6 and she's on 7019.
I wonder, she's done great under Coach Tony, but I wonder how she'd fair under Van Commenee? I'm sure she'll never switch, but I'd love to see her change during the 2014 season and see what she could do under someone else. Charles took Lewis to great things and completely changed Sotherton's attitude to the event; could he take Jess over 7000?
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
A timely article on the European site, it seems Savitskaya was very happy with her London performance and is raringt to go for the European indoors:
http://www.european-athletics.org/32nd- ... eborg.html
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
I agree with all of this but as you note it is doing it all in the same competish that poses the problem. I've just finished reading her autobiography (it takes about 2 hours) and the LJ is a much bigger problem than we think. It's not just about converting speed to distance, she has a MASSIVE problem with take off that has yet to be corrected and was interrupted by the leg change.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
Well, 'yes' and 'no'. Chernova wasnt exactly poor in 2012 or London (hence your quotation marks around "poor" I assume). She was actually in her best form apart from 2011. In 2011 she set that great PB of 6880 and then had a 6778 and 6679. In London she scored 6628, her 5th best mark ever, behind those 2011 marks and her Gotzis mark earlier this year (6774, her 2nd best ever)
Obviously something may have happened between Gotzis and London, or it could just be back to the around her psychology again, but the 2012 Chernova was more akin to the pre 2011 Chernova, and her bronze in London was around the same score as her Beijing bronze (6591).
Let us see next year if Chernova will be the 2011 version or not. It seems she will have to if she wants to challenge Ennis and fight off the challenge from some of the up and coming athletes.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
The bit that makes me doubt is Chernova will always have a good Heptathlon but doesn't seem to have the year on year consistency to be at the top. I'm not entirely sure her mentality is that strong either, she appeared to give up by the Javelin in London, while even if things go wrong for Ennis her response is to pull out a PB or great result (800m last year, 2nd longest jump in London after a poor one). That makes a difference, a big one, but I can't ignore her because her natural Heptathlon talent is huge really and she has all the tools. You feel on a random day she could glue together a seemingly easy 7000+ run.
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
Let us turn to decathlon,could Eaton enhance his LJ to 8.40m, run 13.20s in 110mH and reach a WR again?Could Karpov put his individual marks together for which he has got some improve since 2008 but fall apart in second day?
Re: Let us discuss the change of 2013 multi-event
AE's prospects of event improvements this year (all are possible . . . )
100 - v low
LJ - v low
SP - high
HJ - med low
400 - med
110H - med low
DT - high
PV - med high
JT - med high
1500 - v low
another WR is possible this and next year but all the planets would have to align.
Look for 2015 AND 2016 WRs.
9200+ in 2016.

Two impressive hepathlon junior marks from the cuban NCs this weekend:
Yorgelis Rodríguez (born 95) 6186P
Yusleidys Mendieta (born 94) 6024P
How did Cuba develop a multi event program out of nothing? 10 years ago their NRs were below 8000 for dec and 6000 for hep. All of a sudden they had several world class decathletes and now some female talents too.

Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event- Mikhan and Maksimava l
It's probably premature to declare a "program" after so few years. The distribution of talent is rarely even across the board, and the smaller a nation is, the more a random happening looks out of place. By way of comprison, a dozen years ago one might have asked "how did the Czechs develop a decathlon program out of nothing?"
From 1947 to 1954, the Czechs had 3 World Rankers in the decathlon. From 1955 to 1989 they had none. And then.... 24 rankings by 3 guys!
1990 Dec 9 Robert Změlík (Czechoslovakia)
1991 Dec 5 Robert Změlík (Czechoslovakia)
1992 Dec 1 Robert Změlík (Czechoslovakia)
1995 Dec 5 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
1996 Dec 3 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
1996 Dec 8 Robert Změlík (Czech Republic)
1997 Dec 1 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
1997 Dec 8 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
1998 Dec 4 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
1998 Dec 8 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
1999 Dec 1 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
1999 Dec 5 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2000 Dec 1 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
2000 Dec 3 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2001 Dec 1 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
2001 Dec 3 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2002 Dec 1 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2003 Dec 2 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2003 Dec 6 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
2004 Dec 1 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2005 Dec 2 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2005 Dec 9 Tomáš Dvořák (Czech Republic)
2006 Dec 3 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
2007 Dec 1 Roman Šebrle (Czech Republic)
And now we've gone 5 years without a one.
Just like I'm sure no Briton in the '80s, reveling in Coe/Ovett/Cram/Elliott/Moorcroft, if told that the nation wouldn't have a ranker from '95 through '12 would believe it. Nothing happened to the British "program" other than random chance.

Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event-Mendieta and Rodrígues
Johannes Hock (GER) is having a Wonderful first day at the Big 12 meet in Waco. He leads the competition with 4,222 points after breaking four of his PBs (10.78, 7.46, 15.40, 1.94, 49.80).
He is good thrower so he is likely to add ~4000 points to his score and become the third NCAA athlete to break 8000 this season.
Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event-Mendieta and Rodrígues
Yeah,he is a great thrower as far as his age/21y,15.57m SP,50.28m DT,62.34m JV,plusing his strong body.
His second day individual pbs sum up 4050p and his weakness including running events and HJ,which may restrict his future.
Re: Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Krauchanka and Rodrígues
20-year-old Anouk Vetter of NED scored 5872p in Firenze including 14.12/0.0 - 1.75 - 13.86 - 24.95/-1.0 / 5.55/+0.6 - 53.10 - 2:30.69,comparing to 18-year-old Nafissatou Thiam/6021p 14.53/-3.3 - 1.90 - 14.01 - 24.89/1.8 / 6.00/0.9 - 46.48 - 2:31.32 ) 19-year-old Yusleidys Mendieta /6024p 14.61/-1.6 - 1.79 - 13.76 - 24.15/0.0 / 5.99/1.6 - 48.63 - 2:26.31
18-year-old Yorgelis Rodríguez /6186p 13.97/-1.6 - 1.82 - 13.17 - 24.58/0.0 / 6.00/1.1 - 48.70 - 2:18.05
Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event-Mendieta and Rodrígues
Weakness in the running events and HJ is a characteristics that most top German decathletes share. Of the top ten German decathletes nine have a PB of 2.03 or lower and five below 2.00m. Similarly, eight have a PB of more than 10.8 and five below 7.50 in the LJ.
I guess when looking into decathlon potential American coaches look for sprinet/jumper athlete whereas the German look for the heavier built.

Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event-Mendieta and Rodrígues
It's the same as in sprints, our best 100m sprinters are 0,5-0,7s behind the best, and so are our best decathletes.
Re: Let us discuss 2013 multi-event-Mendieta and Rodrígues
Very odd, especially in light of the fact that the one recent German OG Deca champ, Schenk had as his strongest event the High Jump where he held the Deca WR for it... now if that were not counter intuitive enough consider the fact that he did it with the straddle technique. More facts like this and one will have to conclude that the Germans are today as focused on T&F as inner Mongolia is on the Americas Cup.
Re: Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Krauchanka and Rodrígues
Don't know his event PR's, but Hock is continuing to score big points.
After 7 events, he's at 6040.
(14.86--1.0--867 pts......176-8 DT--951 pts)
Unless he bombs in the PV, looks like 8000+ is his.
But why is he just a freshman at age 21??
Re: Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Krauchanka and Rodrígues
Went to high school in Germany, and then didn't plan to come to the U.S. and/or didn't get recruited by UT until later.
Re: Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Krauchanka and Rodrígues
110h was no PB, but DT was by about 3m. Hock is also more than 600 points ahead of 2nd place after seven events.
Re: Let's discuss 2013 multi-event-Krauchanka and Rodrígues
Close, in Germany you go to school for 13 years (12 in some states) before you can go to university. So he would have been almost 20 before leaving school.
If he continues like that he could go over 8300 points. And if he keeps destroying his PBs he's getting closer to 8400.

need to make sure you restore original backup to the truck first before updating the trinity...
you also need to have the DSDownloader program installed on your Windows PC... installing that will also install the Trinity usb drivers that need to be installed...
after restoring original backup to your truck, connect the trinity to your PC... let it boot up to main menu/screen...
start up the DSDownloader program... select Trinity T-1000 on first screen and click Accept Modifications... on the next screen it will start searching for and find your trinity and tell you what com port it found it on... click ok to that popup and then it will start downloading/installing any available updates for your trinity....

NAPLES — Every dog has its day.
Fergie's came when her owner decided to open a shop in Naples that shares her name.
Alex Gross recently opened Fergie's Closet Doggie Boutique in the Shoppes at Naples Bay Resort. The store sells unique and custom dog clothing and accessories.
However, the story behind the boutique is just as unique as the products Gross sells. It began with a loved one's death and an unexpected cross-country trip, and ended with Gross taking a gamble on a new life and new career.
Originally from Colorado, the 24-year-old moved to Cape Coral with her family in September after her father, David, died unexpectedly of illness.
Gross, along with her mother, Jackie, and sister, Katrina, purchased an RV and made a nine-day trip to Cape Coral, where Gross's aunt lives. Gross's dogs, Ozzy, Sharon and Fergie, came too.
"We just couldn't be there," Gross said of Colorado. "We were looking for ourselves again."
The dogs were a vital part of the trip. To the Gross girls they are more than just pets, they are their "babies."
Ozzy, a Chorkie — a Chihuahua and Yorkie hybrid — is the oldest dog. Sharon, a Morkie — a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkie — is Ozzy's "girlfriend." Fergie is their child.
"I get the whole dog weirdo thing," Gross said. "I am one."
Katrina Gross referred to the trip to Florida as "the Gross girls adventure."
"Three little women and three little dogs on our way to the unknown," she said.
After arriving in Cape Coral the family decided to stay with the dogs in an RV camp and play the next couple of months by ear.
Moving from a spacious home to a crowded RV in a strange place posed its challenges. For instance, the girls used unconventional measures to stay warm during the winter.
"I was in a zombie state. I grabbed the hair dryer and blew it under the covers," Alex Gross said. "We weren't RV people."
During the winter Alex and her mother experimented with different crafting ideas. They sold many of Jackie Gross's custom doggie clothing at a local flee market.
"It was cool that she was making something and people were liking it," Alex Gross said.
By May, the family was in a new house in Cape Coral and they decided to open the store.
"My first thought was 'They have lost their minds,'" Katrina Gross said of her daughters.
Alex Gross began looking for a rental space in Fort Myers, but had no luck. Business owners were advising the family that their target audience was not in Fort Myers, but Naples.
Broadening the search to the Naples area brought about a heart-warming coincidence.
When Alex Gross found the virtual listing for Naples Bay Resort the listing address was 1444, a significant number for the Gross girls.
The name of their father's construction company in Colorado was, 144 Construction Corp. The sisters have the number tattooed in black on their wrists. David Gross had it tattooed on his arm.
"Whenever I see that number I gravitate toward it, obviously," Alex Gross said.
"It gives us comfort and hopefully luck," her mother said.
After several offers and counter offers with Naples Bay Resort, Fergie's Closet opened in suite 108 on June 4. Despite a great location for the store, there are many challenges facing the new business owner.
Alex Gross drives at least an hour to work every day, has no retail or marketing experience and has started a business and a new life in a town where she knows nearly no one.
"We know this is a huge risk," she said. "This is make it or break it."
Yet, the hardest part is still waking up each morning without her father, she said.
"We would give it all back. You lose somebody and you lose your whole life," she said.
"Our whole world was turned upside down," her mother said.
Despite the challenges and the slow season, the Gross family has high hopes for Fergie's Closet and their fresh start in Florida.
"I don't want to be a sales clerk my whole life." Alex Gross said. "I would like to own multiple stores."
Bob Jack, owner of Character Eyez, a sunglasses store next door to Fergie's Closet, shares his business expertise with Alex Gross regularly.
"They have got the heart," Jack said. "Everything is in the right place."
Jack, who opened his store in 2008, has been in retail long enough to understand the risk in opening a store under extreme circumstances and wants to help the family bring Fergie's Closet to its fullest potential.
"I said, 'God why aren't you scared'," he said. "But, seeing their bravery, hearing their story … they will do well."
Jack said he believes this is the year retail will start to click.
Fergie's Closet experienced its biggest day of sales at the end of July. The most popular product is Doggles, sunglasses for dogs. Jackie Gross is able to alter items and take custom orders for clothing.
"My store is not perfect, it's a little rick-a-dink," Alex Gross said. "My big thing is I want to share with people what I love about dogs."
Customers can find clothing, treats, strollers, drinking bowls, collars, jewelry, hair accessories and life vests for their furry loved one.
Fergie's place has a lot of things that regular pet stores don't have, Jack said. It also has a story.
But, Alex Gross doesn't want customers because of pity.
"I understand I am not the only person who has lost someone. I want (customers) to want to come," she said. "It's not a pity party over here. I am more proud of myself then I have ever been no matter what."

It took place in a wacky suburb, it starred cartoon adolescents, it charted the ups and downs of junior high school, and it aired as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning block, but Pepper Ann was no Doug clone. In fact, the two stars couldn't be more different. Unlike her laid-back male counterpart, Pepper Ann was outgoing, headstrong, and a true free spirit. The twelve-year-old redhead knew what she wanted and went after it, cooking up any crazy scheme necessary to get it.
Pepper Ann may have been excitable, but she was by no means a spoiled brat. She was generally well-liked at school, where she usually hung out with best friends Milo (a video game and pizza-loving artist) and Nicky (a straight-A student and calm voice of reason). At home, Pepper Ann lived with her single mother Lydia, melancholy kid sister "Moose," environmental activist Aunt Janie, policeman Uncle Jo Jo, and cousin Ned.
Pepper Ann's fellow students included rich and smart Trinket, German boy Dieter Liederhosen, cool kid Craig, popular airhead Cissy, and gossipy twins Tessa and Vanessa. Pepper had no real enemies except Principal Hickey, a tough disciplinarian with zero tolerance for Pepper Ann's shenanigans. And there were plenty of shenanigans not to tolerate. Pepper Ann had a vivid imagination, which often got the best of her. When trouble reared its head, Pepper's emotions came out in Ally McBeal-like fantasies (the two shows actually debuted within a week of each other, so nobody stole anyone else's idea).
One of the original segments of One Saturday Morning, Pepper Ann was a hit with audiences. The spunky star's girl power has kept the show a popular part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup ever since.

Reestablishing vegetation after a fire will help mitigate the expansion of cheatgrass and other invasive species, and restoring native vegetation will help a variety of wildlife species such as Sage-Grouse.
NDF is working with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to collect and purchase native and adaptive seeds to reestablish vegetation in burned areas, and both agencies are working with Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to share resources for reseeding efforts.
To date, NDF's seedbank has purchased more than $100,000 of seed and has collected more than 1000 pounds of sagebrush, forage Kochia and four-wing salt brush seed through volunteer efforts organized by NDOW and by utilizing NDF's conservation camp crews. To further aid rehabilitation efforts, NDF's state tree nurseries are growing sagebrush and bitterbrush for use throughout the state.
If private landowners would like to discuss rehabilitation of their lands affected by fires, contact the local NDF office and ask for the resource management officer. Reacj the northern and northeastern Nevada officer at 738-3454.
For more information, visit www.forestry.nv.gov or call the Nevada Division of Forestry at 684-2500.

Like it or not the allergy season is here. And the moisture from Hurricane Sandy is actually making the beginning of this allergy season that much worse.
Dr. Mike Cirigliano, of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, says he is already getting calls to his office from people dealing with allergies.
Dr. Mike joined "Good Day" on Wednesday morning to talk more about the problem and what you can do about it.
"It might be the worse seasonal allergy year on record,
if some people's predictions are correct," Dr. Mike said.
He said sarcastically that the hurricane is the gift that
keeps giving because now, with all of that moisture and mold that were created,
you're going to have high pollen counts.
A U.S. allergy map shows we're already in the moderate to
high region the southeastern part of Pennsylvania and northern Delaware. We're
going to be in for a lot of pollen and allergy symptoms.
"What you need to do is avoid pollen, as best as you
can," Dr. Mike said.
If the allergens get brought up into the nasal passages, and
they lead to significant histamine release, that causes the runny nose, runny
eyes, sneezing, all of those things.
"The key is avoidance," Dr, Mike said. "One
of the things that I preach all the time is to make sure and use saline – big
fan of the sinus rinse."
The doctor said he harps on flushing out the allergens all
the time at his practice, and if you do it right that can help keep the nasal
passages clear so you don't get sinus infections.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
There are programmes specifically designed to convert your PowerPoint documents into Flash 'movies' and they include Power Point Flash, compatible with Window versions from 2002 to the latest 2010 as well as iSpring. Converting Microsoft PowerPoint into flash makes your presentation more accessible because it can then be opened in a web browser and help you deliver a better PowerPoint presentation to a wider audience.
iSpring is a free trial download and you can also check out Open Office.
Using software, all you will need to do is click a couple of buttons and the software does all the work for you. If you opt to manually convert your PowerPoint Presentation, you will need to know some code, which isn't as scary as it sounds for non-techs because there are ample tutorials. And, of course, for techies it will be a breeze.
Below is a step by step guide on how to convert your PowerPoint File to Flash:
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Stern to retire as commish in 20149:00 am | October 26, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — David Stern spent nearly 30 years growing the NBA, turning a league that couldn't even get its championship series on live prime-time TV into a projected $5 billion a year industry.
Confident the NBA is in good shape and certain he has found someone who can make it even better, Stern is ready to end one of the most successful and impactful careers in sports history.
Stern will retire as commissioner Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years to the day after taking charge of the league, and be replaced by Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver.
"I decided that things are in great shape and there's an organization in place that will ultimately be led by Adam that is totally prepared to take it to the next level," Stern said Thursday during a press conference following the league's board of governors meeting.
It's hard to be any better than Stern, perhaps the model sports commissioner.
Name an important policy in the NBA — drug testing, salary cap, even a dress code — and Stern had a hand in it. A lawyer by trade, he was a fearless negotiator against players and referees, but also their biggest defender any time he felt they were unfairly criticized.
"For all the things you've done for the NBA and for sports generally, I think there's no doubt that you'll be remembered as the best of all-time as commissioners go and you've set the standard, I think not even just for sports league commissioners, but for CEOs in any industry," Silver told Stern sitting to his left on a podium.
Stern told owners of his plans during their two days of meetings, and the board unanimously decided Silver would be his successor. Owners will begin negotiations with the 50-year-old Silver in hopes of having a contract completed by their next meeting in April.
Stern, who turned 70 last month, became commissioner on Feb. 1, 1984. He has been the NBA's longest-serving commissioner, establishing the league's brand around the world, presiding over team expansion and overseeing the establishment of the WNBA and the NBA Development League.
"There is no debate that David Stern has earned his spot in the pantheon of sports commissioners. Deservedly, his name and reputation will always be synonymous with the phenomenal growth and success of the NBA over the last three decades," union executive director Billy Hunter said in a statement. "His absence will surely be felt by anyone connected to the NBA and the sport of basketball, although clearly the league will be left in very capable hands with the appointment of Adam Silver as the next commissioner."
Seven franchises have been added under Stern and the league has seen a 30-fold increase in revenues. Stern insisted the NBA have a presence on social media, and the league and players have more than 270 million likes and followers on Facebook and Twitter.

Babies need tummy time because they are spending more and more time on their backs. In the early 1990s, the American Academy of Pediatrics' Back to Sleep program successfully decreased the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the United States by 40 percent by encouraging parents to place their babies on their backs to sleep. Around the same time, a number of infant carriers that doubled as car seats and carriers became widely used. This combination of back sleeping at night and daytime pressure on the infant's head can create a flattening of the skull.
When a baby develops flat areas on the back of the head and possibly the forehead, it's called plagiocephaly. Often, this flattening is made worse by a condition called torticollis. Torticollis is a single muscle or group of muscles that are tight or weak on one side of the neck, causing a baby to tilt or turn to one side. The muscle fibers can shorten because of continued resting in one position.
It is very important that an infant be placed on his back to sleep. However, it is also important to a baby's development that he get supervised tummy time and constant repositioning throughout the day.
The activities in Tummy Time Tools increase your cuddle time and contact with your baby and will enhance the time you spend together. Teach these activities to family members and other caretakers, so the activities become an important part of your baby's day.

Clark Art Institute Unveils Tadao Ando's Designs for Proposed "Clark Greylock" Facility at Phelps Knoll
For Immediate Release
July 15, 2003
*Clark announces internationally recognized architect's first wooden building outside Japan.
*Proposed structure to house new exhibition galleries, educational and conservation facilities.
*20-acre park-like setting to be accessible to the public, with facilities available to the community.
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA (July 15, 2003) - As part of its master plan for building expansion and campus enhancement, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute today unveiled designs for a proposed new facility in a park-like setting with extraordinary views of Mt. Greylock. "Clark Greylock," as the proposed arts and educational center is called, would be located behind the hill known locally as Phelps Knoll along Route 7 in Williamstown. It is the first phase of the Institute's design for its current campus on South Street at Stone Hill. The Clark has commissioned world-renowned architect Tadao Ando to design a building of wood and glass that will house exhibition galleries, studio space, public amenities, and a new home for the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, and will provide additional resources for community programs and educational partnerships. The 40,000 square foot (gross) building, estimated at $17 million, would be Ando's first wood clad structure in the United States.
Clark Greylock is the second site for which the Clark has commissioned Ando, the Pritzker-Prize-winning architect whose designs for the Clark's Stone Hill campus - featuring a one-and-a-half acre reflecting pool and a 95,000 square foot addition that will include new special exhibition galleries, visitor amenities, and space for the Clark's seminal Research and Academic Program -- were unveiled in March. The selection of Ando extends to the new location the Clark's long tradition of land stewardship, demonstrated by the sensitivity to nature seen in Ando's designs at Stone Hill. The design takes advantage of the beauty of Phelps Knoll and its views while respecting and celebrating the landscape.
"As he has done for our Stone Hill campus, Mr. Ando has designed a building for Clark Greylock that is striking, yet blends organically into its wooded surroundings," said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark. "This project brings a different kind of building by this great, internationally recognized architect to this country, and it extends our public art exhibition and educational mission by providing space for new programs. Clark Greylock allows us to preserve the garden atmosphere of our main campus while bringing our mission of 'art in nature' to a second location in the community, making that piece of land accessible to residents and the many visitors who come to Berkshire County each year."
The glass and wood structure would be set back from route 7, just below the top of the hill. The highest point of the site, Phelp's Knoll, would be maintained as a picnic and viewing area. Nestled into the natural slope, Clark Greylock would appear as a one-story building with a 20,000 square foot footprint; two additional levels placed below, on the back side of the hill. About 1/3 of the structure would be below grade.
Two large porches, measuring 670 square feet each, would provide outdoor space taking advantage of the views of Mount Greylock to the east and south. The eastern side of the site, facing Route 7, would be landscaped with a combination of meadows and woodlands in keeping with the natural beauty of the site. The western side of the site and its mature woodlands will remain virtually untouched.
Clark Greylock would include four exhibition galleries totaling 2800 square feet, a 700 square foot studio art classroom, and a 450 square foot meeting room for use by the community, as well as 2000 square feet for a lobby, store, and café. Publicly accessible art storage would add 700 square feet to the gallery space, and there would be 2000 square feet of storage space.
"These public areas will help the Institute expand its exhibition and education mission, functioning as both a community resource and cultural destination," said Conforti. "We currently project summer exhibitions there will focus on photography, prints, and drawings. The galleries would also be available several weeks each winter for student shows, including work by students from Mount Greylock Regional High School. The nature of the new facility would give us the freedom to explore different kinds of exhibitions that the formality of our main galleries precludes, to we could stretch into new areas."
The resources at Clark Greylock would be available to neighboring Mount Greylock Regional High School and Sweetwood Continued Care Retirement Facility. Last week, the Clark and Northern Berkshire Health Systems, operators of Sweetwood, announced the shared programs under discussion, including internships, exhibitions, studio art classes, and other potential opportunities for cross-generational learning.
Clark Greylock would also include 13,000 square feet of space for the Williamstown Art Conservation Center (WACC), one of the nation's premier conservation facilities, which provides essential art restoration to the Clark and to more than 50 other member institutions. In addition to providing the necessary space for the conservation lab -about 40 percent more than at its current space on South Street-the design calls for large windows that would give visitors the opportunity to view conservators at work. Gallery space could also be used to exhibit works of art that have undergone conservation at WACC.
The Institute will maintain the grounds at Clark Greylock for recreational use by the public as well as provide scenic viewing points for the vista over the rolling hills and meadows known as "the Hopper" to Mount Greylock. The site would also remain open for hiking, running, and skiing, with many existing trails to remain and some portions of the trail to be rerouted. Institute officials have met with cross-country skiing and running coaches at the high school and Williams College to discuss the best approaches to the trail system used by both institutions as well as private individuals.
Clark Greylock represents the first phase in the Institute's overall building expansion and campus enhancement. In relocating the conservation center from its existing facility on South Street, the Clark will eventually build on its current site the Visitor, Graduate, and Conference center, most of which will be underground. Ando's South Street design also calls for the expansion of the Institute's 1955 white marble permanent collection building that will include new galleries for American art. Landscape enhancements are also planned for the main campus.
Cooper, Robertson & Partners of New York City, master planners of the Clark's South Street campus, have created the master plan that connects Clark Greylock via trails to Sweetwood and MGRHS. Gensler, the New York City-based architect of record, is involved in interior design along with Ando's firm.
The Institute unveiled its proposed Clark Greylock plans in anticipation of a purchase and sale agreement with the land's current owners, Northern Berkshire Health Systems. A final agreement is anticipated later this summer. The Institute hopes to break ground on the project by March 2004, which would open to the public in 2006.
The Clark
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by its dramatic 140-acre setting in the Berkshires.
The Institute is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history and encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. Its Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world.

Apparently, someone forgot to tell all these Steelers fans that this is Raymond James Stadium, not Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
The way things are going so far, it may as well be Heinz Field -- the Steelers fans dominate the stadium if not by sheer numbers than by their noise and constant waving of gold flags.
Pittsburgh is also dominating on the field. The Steelers came just inches short of a touchdown on their first drive, until a challenge overturned Ben Roethlisberger's run, and they're about to score again.
This could get ugly if Arizona's offense can't get going.
And speaking of that, the Cards have gone to Immokalee native Edgerrin James often early. Edge got the ball on Arizona's first play, but he was bottled up early for no gain. On his next carry, there was a foul-up on the hand-off from Kurt Warner, and James dropped the ball before recovering it and struggling back to the line of scrimmage.
Better luck next time, because Roethlisberger just barrelled through the end zone, and this time there was nothing to challenge.
They're shouting "Let's Go Steelers" in here. Think maybe I'll catch a Penguins game later this week. Oh ... wait ... we aren't in Pittsburgh?
