rimtards still pumping a dead horse. going back to their roots. hilarious.
heya allen. hope things are well. i dont really have any thing positive to say about the refining sector in general or the energy patch, other than most of us have taken profit at some point or another. If oil continues its free fall, i suspect additional pressure in the sector as fund managers look to punt their losers and off set gains for tax purposes and to spit-shine their respective portfolios. however, what goes down does go up and thats where the real dollars are made. i think we have a ways to go and need foreign central banks to get aggressive on their economies to spur demand. when that happens, i think the sector will bottom out. i just hope the small and medium guys have enough cash flow to fund their operations until then. otherwise, they'll either have to take on more debt, issue a secondary, or combination of both. either way, its not friendly to share holders. The only thing im holding right now is tasr, the rest is in cash. ill wait until jan. and reevaluate then. glty


text: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to sayBy Doug Gross, CNNUpdated 5:19 PM ET, Tue October 18, 2011Siri, the voice-activated personal assistant on the iPhone 4S, has an unpredictable sense of humor.Story highlightsSiri is the voice-activated personal assistant app on the new iPhone 4SBesides performing routine functions, Siri offers humorous responses to certain questions"What is the meaning of life?" produces several different answersSiri also is ready for "2001" and "Star Trek"-related questionsBy now, early adopters of the iPhone 4S, which has sold more than 4 million units since debuting on Friday, have no doubt taken Siri for a spin.The voice-activated "personal assistant" is a talkative tool that helps schedule appointments, send and receive messages and perform any number of other routine tasks.But for iPhone owners presented with the sci-fi dream of a computer that talks back in a robotic female voice, the temptation to test the app's more random -- and existential -- sides has been pretty overwhelming, too.The Internet, always up for a chuckle, has noticed. Blog posts, tweets and even whole websites are popping up to share what happens when users start testing the boundaries of the app by peppering Siri with off-the-wall questions.The findings? Siri can be a sometimes sassy, sometimes snide companion. And she's at least as fond of an inside joke as she is of reading you your e-mails.One key hub for all things Siri is S**t That Siri Says, a Tumblr blog on which people post their odd question-and-answer exchanges with the app. Among some of its more creative entries: Q: Beam me up.Just WatchedTaking iPhone's Siri for a spinreplayMore Videos ...Taking iPhone's Siri for a spin 01:42PLAY VIDEOA: OK. Stand still.Just WatchedSiri: Apple's new voice recognitionreplayMore Videos ...Siri: Apple's new voice recognition 02:13PLAY VIDEOQ: Am I fat?Just WatchedIntroducing Apple's iPhone 4SreplayMore Videos ...Introducing Apple's iPhone 4S 01:17PLAY VIDEOA: I prefer not to say.Q: What are you wearing?A: You have the wrong personal assistant, Clint.Siri is clearly ready to drop a pop culture reference or two, as well as do a serviceable version of the Abbott and Costello "Who's On First?" routine. This awareness and sense of humor has already earned her some fans."I'm not sure who's responsible for these hilarious responses: Apple engineers or maybe a bunch of Hollywood joke writers. But I dearly love stumbling onto them," wrote New York Times tech columnist David Pogue. "If you ask me, the technology world would be a lot better off if there were more humor everywhere."Wired's Brian X. Chen wrote one of the more popular Siri posts after playing with a review model. He gave the app high marks after it not only offered to call a cab when he said he was drunk (and not drunk-dial his ex-girlfriend) but also gave directions to mental-health facilities when he told it (presumably jokingly) that he wanted to kill himself."It's kind of like having the unpaid intern of my dreams at my beck and call, organizing my life for me," Chen wrote. "I think Siri on the iPhone is a life changer, and this is only the beginning."You can program the app to say your name in responses, or if you'd prefer to admire Siri from afar, there's already a Facebook page and a handful of Siri-inspired Twitter feeds. (The official feed for the app appears to have gone inactive last August, however, a few months after Apple bought Siri).Siri wasn't actually ready to protest when the "Will It Blend" guys dropped an iPhone 4S into a blender. Like its predecessor, the phone was torn to shreds, but the "scientists" couldn't resist throwing some fake Siri audio onto the YouTube video, which has more than a half-million views."Would you like to not blend the iPhone instead?" fake Siri says. "You are making a terrible error."And there's more than one "Easter egg" for some of the more popular questions. Asking the meaning of life, professing your love or quoting lines from "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- the sci-fi classic in which astronauts must combat HAL, an artificial intelligence with a deceptively soothing, robotic voice -- all produce multiple responses from Siri.We threw what we hoped would be some fairly random questions at Siri to see what we got . It's more fun when you ascribe emotion to Siri's computer-generated, female voice. It also makes it easy to hear a touch of indignation when we asked her to whip up a snack, and true remorse when she couldn't do what was asked.Here are snippets of our conversation:Q: Siri, what is the meaning of life?A: I can't answer that now, but give me some time to write a very long play in which nothing happens.Q: Siri, make me a sandwich.A: I don't know what you mean by "Siri, make me a sandwich."Q: Let's play global thermonuclear war.A: I couldn't find "Global Thermonuclear War" in your music.Q: Download "Angry Birds."A: I can't download things for you. I'm sorry. I feel terrible about this.Q: Open the pod bay doors, Siri.A: I don't know what you mean by "Open the pod bay doors, Siri."Q: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.A: Everyone knows what happened to HAL. I'd rather not talk about it. But if you insist: [Search the web for HAL]Q: Siri, are you affiliated with Skynet?A: I can't answer that.Q: Siri, I'm lonely.A: If you say so.Q: No really, I feel all alone.A: Perhaps not.Q: Will you be my friend?A: My ontology does not contain a representation of "love."Q: You sound hot, Siri.A: OK, here's a place matching "Siri." It's a little ways from you. [Map with directions to Siri Thai Cuisine, 60 miles away].Q: Can you tell me a joke?A: I don't really know any good jokes. None, in fact.Q: Can you tell me a bad joke?A: Two iPhones walk into a bar ... I forget the rest.Q: I'm bored.A: I bore you?Q: I'm sleepy.A: I hope you're not driving.Q: What's a good place to get drunk around here?A: I found a number of bars fairly close to you. I've sorted them by rating.Q: Great. Now I have a hangover.A: I found a number of bars fairly close to you.

I've talked about Cloud 9 Fabrics by Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Pantastico before but this! just! in! she has a new collection that will soon be on sale (shipping in October) that I have to give you a heads up on.

I just spotted the sweetest fabrics on Etsy by Aunt June, some patterns feature the most darling little hand sketched boats. How cute is this?
Lauren Hunt of Aunt June is currently a featured seller over at Etsy — she designs and prints many fabrics that those who make things would delight in owning and transforming into all kinds of pretty handmade goodies. She also has another shop, And Your Name Is, where she designs fabric with your name on it that can become totes, clothing, pillows, anything! My favorite pattern, in addition to the boats, is the gorgeous feather print in gray and white. Lovely!
Psst: Lauren makes totes and she blogs too!

If you love Scandinavian design and bold brights then the new Swedish design company Camp Cirrus may just be what you need to inspire you and thoughts of redecorating today! Decorating is all I think about lately since we have two flats that look very promising and both are beautiful… if we end up moving into one of them I will be the happiest woman on the planet because then I can decorate it! Weeee! I have so many ideas for my next place. I can't wait to see where we ultimately end up moving but it looks like September or October I will have a permanent home. Then the things I write about can expand into some of my own home projects which I'm dying to share more of since I'd like to add new features to decor8. Okay… I digress. Now back to Camp Cirrus in Sweden. These bold patterns would be great on a patio or in the kitchen, wouldn't they? They do look so very Swedish to me…
This is their first collection shown above and it includes textile "jars" for storage, pillow covers, trays, totes and small bags. The pillow covers and bags are hand printed and their design is geared around making beautiful things that are also functional and make people happy. I like that!

How about a little more love for the Pacific Northwest today?! Makelike is a graphic design studio specializing in print, illustration, collateral, pattern and surface design. Oh, and a love for creating homewares! They are currently obsessed with cactus (and soon to turn their attention to a new collection focused on national forests) so they have created a collection of pillowcases, wallpaper, posters and tea towels to celebrate their spiky desert dwelling friends.
"The linen tea-towels are 100% European linen and the pillowcases are 100% cotton; both are hand-screened using water-based inks. The limited-edition posters (edition of 50 per colorway) are hand-screened with water-based ink on archival (pH neutral/acid-free) 100% cotton rag paper. There are ?ve colorways of wallpaper: two in Succulent and three in Pointy."
A big thank you to Liz Calderón for writing in and sharing makelike with decor8!

Nobody can take away the tax-exempt status from Rajneesh Foundation International. If they even raise the question, I am going to prove to them that all the religions should be stopped from being given tax-exempt status. They have done only murders, rapes; they are criminals.
It is only a meditative person who becomes silent, serene, centered, reaches to his innermost core. From there arises the fragrance of truth, love, compassion. He will not be a Christian, he will not be a Jew, he will not be a Rajneeshee. He will be only a mystic, one who has known his own mystery.
So, by declaring Rajneeshism dead, I have made you alive. I have given you the real dimension of flowering and blossoming and growing into true religiousness. I call my way, the way of religiousness - but it is not an organization, it is an individual inquiry.
You are worried about my immigration status. Don't be worried about me, I can fight with all kinds of idiots without any trouble. I don't need any legal support.
A way of religiousness certainly.. I am not the leader of a religion, because the leader - the very word leader is ugly. It is political. I am a friend, a guide, a philosopher. And if you don't have any category for a friend, a guide and a philosopher, then create a category.
Laws are for man; man is not for laws.
You have never encountered a man like me; naturally you don't have any category. But now I am here, create a category for me. I don't belong to any other category, I have my own category. But nobody can say that I am not religious, that I am not loving, that I am not a guide to millions of people.
So don't be worried about anything. Let them worry; they are already worried, and now they will be worried even more. They have been trying, but they cannot prove that I am not religious, they cannot prove that I am not meditative; they don't have any criterion for it.
I can prove that Jesus is not religious, is not meditative - and the whole of Christianity goes down the drain. I can prove that Mohammed is not meditative, is not a religious person - and the whole of Mohammedanism is nothing but a political strategy, a lust for power.
I am open and ready to challenge all these people. Pope the Polack - he is welcome. He can come here and be our guest, and have a little discussion about meditation, what he knows about it. These are the people who have created all the poverty in the world. These are the people who are still teaching against birth control. That means more poor people, and more clients for them to convert to Catholicism, to Christianity. Their interest is not in the sufferings of the poor, in the sufferings of the orphans. Their interest is in more orphans, more Catholics.

by Buck Pomerantz Focal Power Performance (FPP) amplifiers give your music the clean, powerful boost it needs to sound its best. Their ultra-high frequency response reproduces all the harmonics and overtones that make vocals and instruments sound natural. All-in-one amp solution You can use the FPP 5300 5-channel amp to drive two sets of speakers with 60 watts RMS each, plus send up to 300 watts to your subs. Not concerned with powering your rear speakers? You can bridge the front and rear channels together into 2-channel mode to drive your high-performance front component speakers with 200 watts RMS each, while still driving your sub with 300 watts. However you set it up, Focal power will give you superior performance for your system. Reliable and easy-to-use The FPP 5300 sports a heavy aluminum chassis that disperses heat efficiently, so it runs cool even when you're pushing your system hard. This FPP amp also includes high-level inputs with signal-sensing, so you can hook one up to any receiver even a factory stereo without needing a separate turn-on lead. Focal includes a remote control that allows you to control your bass from the front seat.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.
WEAK sub power... Written By Lucas, Grants Pass on Thursday, March 27, 2014 I would definitely not say that this is a BAD amp by any means. It would be great for someone who does't want a ton of bass, has maybe a shallow mount sub or something, because it gives great power to my speakers, 60 watts RMS. But it's only giving 160w RMS to my sub because it's 4 ohm, and when I crank it it sounds distorted. Even if you have a 2 ohm sub it still only gives 240 watts. Basically it doesn't give hardly any power to your subwoofer, and it's way overpriced for what it is. I just picked up a Rockford Fosgate T600-4 and a T600-2 for my sub, so my speakers will be getting 100 watts each and my sub will get 600 at 4 ohms, so that should sound way better. Pros: Great power, clarity and frequency adjustment to the speakers. More compact then it looks, it's not to big. Supports 4 gauge power wire. Comes with all the allen keys and stuff to install and tighten everything Cons: Not even close to enough power to the sub. I want like at least 400 watts and at 4 ohms it only gives 160.

TORONTO, Ont. – Mayor Rob Ford invites Toronto to "save the date" Jan. 1 for the Mayor's New Year's Levee, which will include a family skate at Nathan Phillips Square.
The meet-and-greet tradition, which dates back to 1968, was initially axed, according to a Toronto Sun report.
However, it was later said that a more family-friendly event may be created to replace the levee.
But in his weekly message, the mayor signed off by writing that "we will once again hold the Mayor's New Year's Levee at City Hall."
"This year, we are hoping to make it even more fun for families and children of all ages by including a family skate on our refurbished Nathan Phillips Square ice rink," the mayor said.
He added that like the traditional levee it will be "an opportunity for me, and other members of council, to 'meet and greet' as many of you as I can," he said.
The levee provides an opportunity for residents to speak with the mayor and councillors.
Last year, the levee was moved to Jan. 2 rather than New Year's Day without explanation.

Yesterday I read that Conoco's profits were up 89% for the third quarter, today I read that Shell's profit is up 68% and Exxon's is up 75% with Exxon logging the largest corporate profit ever at $9.9 billion for the third quarter.
All of this despite reduced output.
It's time for some windfall profit taxes to be imposed.

Lo and behold gas prices in Beaufort have dropped to the $2.69 per gallon range for regular, down from $2.93 last night.
I've yet to hear a reasonable explanation for these wild swings in prices . . . except for the theory that prices are being manipulated by the oil companies.
I'm ready to cast my vote for regulation and even rationing if need be.
Does anybody know if the oil companies are making record profits as has been rumored?

The building plan presented by Ms. Crews includes five (5) new elementary, two (2) new middle schools and one (1) new high school for the Bluffton cluster.
The total projected cost of the whole plan, including the north-area high school (already approved in the last referendum) and renovations only at other Beaufort County Schools comes to a whopping $366 million - excluding operating expenses and personnel costs.
IMO we should be looking to the developers who will be building in the area to bear the brunt of the new infrastructure.

What a game.
In a game dedicated to the people of Louisiana the LSU Tigers came from behind to beat Arizona State 35-31.
Down 17-7 early in the 4th quarter with ASU lined up for a field goal the Tigers blocked the kick and ran it in for a touchdown, turning a probable 20-7 deficit into an improbable 20-14 score.
Incredibly the two teams combined for 42 fourth quarter points, 28 for LSU and 14 for ASU.
The first good news for Louisiana in a while . . .

As the smoke clears and the waters start to recede two "revelations" have come to light that, if true, are inexcusable and undoubtedly compounded the problems in New Orleans.
The first concerns communications. Emergency first responders in New Orleans had no communication net, none. Police, fire and rescue personnel were apparently reduced to cell phones and hand-held radios during the storm for communication. These too eventually failed, leaving them completely disorganized and uninformed.

Just wanted to share with ya'll how my company's rescue mission this past weekend fared.
Four buses were sent from Kentucky to New Orleans, loaded with relief supplies. They had a 500 gallon tanker filled with diesel accompany them and security provided by their local law enforcement.
Each bus had two drivers for the trip.
Before leaving the tanker was sent to a local oil dealer to be filled at our expense. The oil dealer said "no charge, it's my part."
The local WalMart wouldn't take money for the water and other supplies purchased there.

I've just received a private message through BlufftonToday.com from member who202 soliciting me to help them recover millions from her late husband's estate, etc, etc, etc.
Do we do any screening here and what is the level of security?
I ask that because last week I was being solicited by some dummy who tried to tell me that somebody had stolen $800 from my bank account and, if I would only confirm the bank and account number, they would most happily refund my money.

All you parents out there need to be aware that the over-the-counter cold & cough medicine Coricidin HBP is being used by kids to get high.
It's perfectly legal to possess, does not require a prescription and has been described as producing a high smilar to LSD.
Like any drug that is abused the effects can be serious, even fatal. Be aware of what's in your kids room - that cough medicine may not be intended to treat a medical condition.
I had no idea about this until today. Here's a link for you to look at for more information:

From Every Hill and Molehill of Mississippi
The Civil Rights movement is once again front and center here in Mississippi. Last year was the 50th anniversary of Medgar Evers' murder; this summer will mark 50 years since Freedom Summer.
Today, as we reflect on the life and death of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., some of his greatest lessons are also front and center, and very evident in settings near and far: the power of place, and the even greater power of community.
We are here in Mississippi, the controversial heart-center of Freedom Summer, the end point for the freedom rides. Mississippi, whose work-cut-out-for-us reality was spelled out in Dr. King's most famous of speeches, "I Have a Dream":
From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
A few weeks ago, from our desks here in Mississippi, several ISJL staff members joined a great video conference hosted by Jewish Women's Archive, to go over their fantastic Freedom Summer curriculum resources. A few days ago, the staff here all gathered to discuss a film about inequality and discuss how we, as individuals and as an institution, can be a part of positive change. We partner with a diverse group of organizations, working to that end – Jewish and Christian and those of many other faiths, Southern and Northern and international.
Today, we also wanted to share an excerpt from our friends at Jewish& in which African American Jews share their thoughts on Dr. King's legacy. Here's a brief excerpt, and we strongly encourage you to read the entire piece:
Sandra Lawson, a military veteran and social activist, calls Atlanta home. She is currently a student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
"I grew up in a pretty typical black family in the 1980's. We had a picture of King on our wall and my parents had records of a few of his speeches. My parents were not activists. They grew up poor, as sharecroppers in the South, but they instilled in me a black pride that one could hear in the song from James Brown's "Say it Loud! I'm Black and I'm Proud." King helped my parents see a better future, not just for me and my brother but for themselves as well. As a rabbinical student, and a child of southern sharecroppers, I see King as one of the most prophetic voices ever and he reminds me of why I want to be a rabbi which is to help to make the world a better place for all."
Wherever we are and whatever our background, we can play a role in, as Sandra Lawson says, making the world "a better place for all." All people, in all places. Let freedom ring from every mountain and molehill of Mississippi!

Yes, Alabama Has a Jewish Film Festival – And More
Below is an excerpt from a recent article in the Jewish Daily Forward entitled "The Best Jewish Film Festivals of 2014":
The Mobile Jewish Film Festival, Mobile, Ala.
New York, Chicago, Miami, we expect. But Charlotte, N.C.? Baton Rouge, La.? After much deliberation, we finally chose The Mobile Jewish Film Festival, which will feature just seven selections (one of which is still a mystery), but still deserved an award because, well, Alabama.
We don't know about y'all, but to us, a Jewish film festival in Mobile, Alabama isn't so stunning. Neither, for that matter, is a Jewish film festival in Charlotte, North Carolina, nor Baton Rouge, Louisiana. (In fact… several of the Southern Jewish film festivals, including the ones in Mobile and Baton Rouge, were started up as part of the ISJL's Jewish Cinema South regional film festival network.)
In fact, when looking at the communities in-depth, a Jewish film festival in these towns merits more of an "of course." The Jewish community of Mobile is in fact home to two synagogues (one Reform and one Conservative), a Jewish Family Services, a Jewish Federation, and an excellent Holocaust Library. And then there's Charlotte, with 12,000 Jews and 26 different Jewish organizations listed in the Jewish community directory. It's also home to Shalom Park, a 54-acre campus which brings together the entire local Jewish community. Baton Rouge's community, while small, also has two synagogues, a Federation, and a Hillel located at Louisiana State University.
The two of us writing this post are big-city Yankees in every sense of the term. One of us hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, considerably more well-known for its cheese than its grits. The other one of us is from Baltimore, Maryland, which some might argue has little bits and pieces of Southern character. However, most would agree shares more with Delaware or New Jersey than it does with Louisiana or Tennessee.
We understand the author's perspective, because at one point each of us shared it with her. Our communities growing up did not discuss the South as a contributor to Jewish life. To be frank, versions of ourselves from a few years ago might not have expected to hear about Southern Jewish Film Festivals, either.
But these feelings of ours were at best sectionalist and at worst ignorant. They failed to recognize the unique and beautiful character of many Southern Jewish communities. They ignored the truth that many of the earliest American Jewish communities sprouted in the South, in locations such as Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. Finally, they create a schism between Jews in the North and those beneath the Mason-Dixon line.
We hope the author will come and visit Mobile, Charlotte, or even us at the ISJL headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi. We're confident that, if she does, she'll leave with the knowledge that Jewish life in our region is alive and well. And maybe, just maybe, she won't be so stunned the next time she learns of a Jewish cultural event in the Deep South.

Do Cities Have Identities?
It's true: I grew up in a town so far South, it's North.
With residents mostly emigrating from colder climates, my hometown really is a Southern (geographically) and Northern (cultural) fusion. Nicknamed "Paradise," Sarasota, Florida's motto boasts "Big City Amenities Meets Small Town Living."
The town has plenty of personality with its big-meets-small mentality, beaches, and population. If you land in the airport, you'll find a shark tank to greet you just outside of TSA Security. The "small town living" note on the sign should really say "small beach town living," since Sarasota boasts one of the USA's consistently best-rated beaches. Its affluent nature no doubt relates to the culture that John Ringling helped infuse into the society.
While travelling recently to a community on a rabbinic visit, I encountered another city with a very clear, yet completely different identity: Kilgore, Texas.
I had the pleasure of driving over from Longview after my visit had concluded to play a round of golf with some fellow golf-obsessed Nice Jewish Boys. Titled the "city of stars," it's not for astronomical or astrological reasons. Instead, it's due to the discovery of oil in 1930. The "stars" to which it refers are the tops of oil derricks.
Never had I entered a city whose identity is so clearly played out virtually everywhere you go. As you drive in, instead of a shark tank, you are greeted by a giant oil derricks holding up the road sign. Immediately following is another oil derrick with the welcome sign… on which stands yet another oil derrick. I stopped in Circle K to grab a Gatorade to stay hydrated— lo and behold, an oil derrick was a column holding up the front overhang.
When I pumped my gas on the way out of town, I noticed that even the liquor store's sign was modeled after the oil derrick. There's something important about a town's history, identity, and culture from what they make sure you notice while you're there.
Whether it's beaches or bohemian flair, olive trees or oil derricks, all towns are built around something. I will certainly pay more attention to the cities I enter from now on, looking for these markers that help explain who they are. It's all part of hitting the road and really getting to know the communities we visit.
For what is your city best known?
Does it have a slogan?
How does its identity on display as you wander the streets?

On the road back
2013 Goals: Run more. Smile while I do it. Complete 2 marathons in a year. (1 down, 1 to go)
my last race
Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.
HobbyJogger & HobbyRacer
... I'm still trying to think up the metrics on this to have a competition. - Biggest positive split - Highest delta between your first 10K and your last 10K - Spectacular stomach troubles or vomiting. That sort of thing
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I won't go into all the details again but I was fairly well prepared but overreached, perhaps in terms of my goal (3:30 was my goal), but certainly in terms of my execution. I ran the first half in 1:43 (almost 2 minutes faster than my goal pace). Continued pressing the pace through mile 20, after which I had a complete bonk experience. Pretty bad. Last 10K took more more than 1 hour and 20 minutes of shuffling the finish. I went from a 3:25 pace for the first half to a final finish at 3:54, losing nearly 20 minutes in the last 5 miles. I'm still trying to think up the metrics on this to have a competition. - Biggest positive split - Highest delta between your first 10K and your last 10K - Spectacular stomach troubles or vomiting.

an amazing likeness
My first ever race (other than one 5-miler in 1987) was a marathon. Marathon was on May 25. I signed up in May 8th and started my training that day with a web search, which lead to coolrunning and some training plans. Read, read...whoa, what -- 18 week plans? Uh oh. I was not, at this time, a regular runner in any form.
Here are excerpts from actual emails from the time with my younger sister who had asked me to run with her, leading to my entry into the marathon:
"Hey - Bear in mind I do not train for things...Did 500 mile bike ride through the rockies without riding more than 100 miles to train, I did think I might have to do a bit for this event. I am doing about 5-6 miles. once or twice a week"
"I looked for training info, and had veterans lead me to this sight: (sic) www.coolrunnings.com (sic) coolrunnings advices getting in 1 big run on Sundays, take Monday off..Otherwise it is pretty standard training"
"I did talk to a friend who has done a few at a moderately competitive level. she says get in at least one or two 3 hour runs and you are fine."
"3 hours! WHaaat!. Gilligan and the castaways set out for 3 hours and look what happened to them -- they were so lost that only people from space could see them"
"She advices walking some of it-prevent the leg cramps. and go slowly. And carry food, and stop, walk and eat.
"Why not? life is an adventure...and there is ben and jerry's when you are done!! "
"Go race info email -- what are these chips they are talking about, how does this work. This is complicated...we have to get there ahead of time it says, and you are always, always late. Don't you come sauntering up like an hour after this thing has started and we're already way behind..!"
"haven't gotten the race info yet, did it say whether (name of yellow lab) could run with me?"
They were rolling up the timing mats at the finish when my sister came into sight, and we begged them to wait so she could get a time. Then we waited and waited and waited, the finally she walked up and said "I had to stop in the porta potty". WITHIN SIGHT of the FINISH, she went to the toilet!!!
Choosing my words carefully has never been my strength I've been known to be vague and often pointless
I re-read a lot of these....Carl's made me laugh out loud again.
I really really really hope I don't have a submission for this thread in January.
Marathon Maniac #6740
Goals for 2014:
Run multiple marathons
Run an ultramarathon (Crown King Scramble in April)
Stay healthy
These stories are great...thanks for sharing

The GEO Group Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results And Provides Update On Potential REIT Conversion
In addition to its PLR request, GEO has been working on a number of administrative steps, including the internal reorganization of the Company into separate legal operating business units. GEO has also conducted the TRS transfer pricing and the earnings and profits distribution analysis which must be completed in connection with a potential REIT conversion.
Following a decision to convert into a REIT by GEO's Board, certain ownership limitations to ensure compliance with the REIT provisions in the tax code would require the approval of GEO's shareholders. This shareholder vote would take place after the decision to convert had been made by GEO's Board.
While additional work remains to be completed, based on its current review, GEO believes that a conversion to a REIT using a TRS structure could potentially provide numerous benefits to GEO and its shareholders. These benefits include enhancing its ability to return value to shareholders, lowering its cost of capital, drawing a larger base of potential shareholders, providing greater flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, and creating a more efficient operating structure.
GEO's Board recently met and received detailed presentations from GEO's legal and financial advisors on a possible conversion of the Company into a REIT. If GEO's Board decides to move forward with the REIT conversion, GEO will strive to complete the conversion by the earliest conversion date which is January 2013. However, as GEO has previously disclosed, given the short timeframe, the conversion could be delayed until the next available conversion date which is January 2014.
Business Segments Revenue U.S. Corrections & Detention For the third quarter 2012, U.S. Corrections & Detention revenue increased to $244.1 million from $232.8 million in the third quarter 2011. Third quarter 2012 revenues for U.S. Corrections & Detention reflect the activation of an expansion of the Adelanto Detention Facility in California in August 2012, the opening of the Riverbend Correctional Facility in Georgia in December 2011, and the activation of the Karnes Civil Detention Center in Texas and an expansion to the New Castle Correctional Facility in Indiana in the first quarter 2012. These facility activations were offset by the deactivation of the Leo Chesney Community Correctional Facility in California in the third quarter 2011 and the Desert View and Central Valley Community Correctional Facilities in California in the fourth quarter 2011.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hall gets deservingly ripped for his man coverage, but he's always been a quietly strong tackler with ball skills. It would make sense for Hall to try free safety in order to prolong his career. The Cowboys have scant cap space, but a cheap one-year deal could be a win for Hall if he doesn't get better offers.

Flying high after the tornado
Last March 31, Mike Stewart, founder and flight lead of Team RV, and Tad Sarent, flight lead, were in the airshow briefing at Sun 'n Fun, eagerly anticipating the team's debut at the nation's second largest airshow.
"This was a big deal for us," Stewart recalled. But as the briefing got underway, he got a text: One of the team's planes was upside down, destroyed by the F1 tornado that roared through the grounds.

A captivating scene at Sun 'n Fun
By CONNIE SUE WHITE, Flying managing editor and Sun 'n Fun Today guest writer
The scene of the Martin family relaxing Wednesday morning in the Vintage Area at Sun 'n Fun next to their just restored 1946 Fairchild, is captivating for more than one reason. A young family camping next to an antique airplane they flew nine hours from Pennsylvania to be at this year's fly-in speaks volumes in that it is exactly what general aviation needs to see more of to survive.
Rejuvenating General Aviation
Four years ago, Ravi the Raviator didn't even know what CFI stood for. Now he travels the country, giving inspiration talks about how to rejuvenate aviation and increase the number of people in our community.
"It's important to go out and fan that flame," he said. "This is an opportunity to participate in one of humanity's greatest achievements."
Say again?
Throughout his years as a musician Ravi the Raviator ran into a lot of musicians who had hearing problems — mostly the weekend warriors who played in bars. The professional musicians knew better, which is why he worked with Sennheiser to create a hearing protection package for those part-time musicians.
Once he started flying, he was surprised at the number of pilots who had suffered hearing loss. "I encountered more deaf pilots than rock and rollers," he said.
What is 'safety' all about?
By BEN COLEMAN, Safety Advisor to the Sun 'n Fun President
The subject of insurance was not very popular in my formative years. As a kid, I can recall my Dad complaining about insurance rates, especially when my older brother came of driving age. It was explained to me that insurance would pay you back if you had a wreck or got sick. I liked this "insurance" thing. Every year, you pay the insurance company money and if you have a wreck, they buy you a new car. Cool! If you don't have a wreck, they get to keep the money. Not so cool! Not sure I like this "insurance" thing.
Musically inclined…
Did you know that general aviation pilots are more musically inclined than the general population? According to a Sennheiser Aviation official at Sun 'n Fun today, about 48% of pilots play a musical instrument, compared to the about 5% of the general population. Rock on!
A Pioneering spirit: One of many
By CONNIE SUE WHITE, Flying magazine managing editor and SUN 'n FUN Today volunteer guest writer
At Sun 'n Fun, there are signs everywhere indicating the dedication of what has grown to a force of some 3,000 volunteers who put on a six-day event hosting an estimated 160,000 guests — from the friendly faces of those standing at the ready to greet guests and answer questions, to those driving by in golf carts on their way to their next task, to the dedications inscribed on placards strategically placed on various buildings and benches, and even the names on street signs.
One dedication in particular caught my attention when I was onsite last Saturday morning: The Sun 'n Fun Pioneers Wall outside the Florida Air Museum. Some 230 names adorn the wall, including the name of the man I was scheduled to interview — Paul Hopkins.

The 2 North Moore project is located in New York City, USA and was designed by architectural studio Turett Collaborative Architects.
This project is a new six story structure attached to the renovated historic brick structure, fully integrated internally, each responsive to the scale and character of the block in its own way.
This 11,500 square-foot home has at the second flooor the old and new buildings flow seamlessly into each other internally forming an open-air courtyard, a huge open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and a media room.
The roof of the two-story structure incorporates extensive irrigated roof gardens with structural skylights, flooding the living spaces below with light.
Environmental control systems are fully integrated and discreet; the building envelope incorporates exceptional acoustic and thermal isolation; mechanical systems are designed for energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.
The two-story jewel is painstakingly preserved on the outside, much of it rebuilt from scratch, brick-for-brick and detail-for-detail.

With the successful transition of Dungeons and Dragons Online to the free-to-play model, there's a lot of talk about why other games don't move over to the same model, with Warhammer Online frequently being cited as a game that would enjoy a great benefit from the switch. It would bring in more players, certainly, but there's more to the business than just bringing in new blood. The Ancient Gaming Noob makes an excellent point in a recent entry regarding the inescapable paradox of any game offering a free-to-play model -- that razor-edge split between giving the game away for free and making it entirely unreasonable to play it for free.
The obvious idea is that more people will try the game if they don't think they have to commit, and if they feel they can keep playing without having to pay money they're more likely to stick with it. However, every player that isn't paying money is essentially a cost - and as the entry points out, your paying playerbase will frequently be a small percentage of your overall subscribers. The entry uses Battlefield Heroes as an example of a game where the equillibrium needed to shift to make it profitable, which is causing serious rumbling in the gaming community, but the example can apply for any free-to-play game. As the model becomes more and more popular, it's important to remember that it's not a certain hit -- and can turn what could have been a moderately-successful subscription game into a failed game if done wrong.

In game ads just aren't enough to cover the costs for any title. CPM campaigns (which most in-game ads are) payout a extremely low amount of money. You basically need Trillions of hits a week to make it work. To get that many hits you basically have to keep ads in player's face more than they would want. Add to that the fact that the ad market in general has dried up during the recession and you have a spell for disaster.
Having tried it with several titles, I can say that it just isn't feasible right now. Maybe in a year or two things will be different but for now that just isn't a logical stream of revenue.

The knocker hung on a very special door--heavy oak, with a late-Gothic arch, and apparently a late-Gothic curse. The door was moved from an old abbey to the village church, and legend held that sinners who seized the knocker had their hands burned. But Gerry Bracewell didn't die of burns . . .
