Race nutrition: Three days before Race Day
Posted by Kate Percy of Go Faster Food under Nutrition on 1 April 2013 at 11:00 PM
Race nutrition doesn't start on the morning of the race, here are some top tips from Kate P of Go Faster Food on how to prepare for your endurance event three days ahead of race day!
You've trained hard for an event, now it's time for the icing on the cake. Three to four days before the race is the critical time to fuel up so that your energy levels are at their absolute peak on race day. A few tweaks to your diet as you taper your training will 'super-charge' your muscles so you can have the race of your life!
8 top Go Faster Tips to maximise your muscle glycogen stores for optimum energy
1. Carbohydrates are the key energy provider for any type of endurance race. Carbs are converted into blood glucose and used for energy or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle. The bad news is that your body can only store enough carbohydrate for approximately 90 minutes hard exercise. To perform at your best you want to be standing on the start line with the maximum amount of glycogen in your body. Eat around 10%* more carbohydrates than you would normally eat over the three to four days leading up to the race, choosing nutrient-rich, low to medium GI carbohydrates, the less refined the better, to keep your blood sugar levels stable and sustain energy.
2. Taper your Training by reducing the duration and intensity of your workouts in the week before the event and your body. This will automatically store the muscle glycogen which would normally be used to fuel your long training sessions and, in combination with an increase in your consumption of carbs, will help build stores to the maximum. The taper will undoubtedly make you feel frustrated, desperate to squeeze in that last workout. Try to resist temptation; the training's done now and you need to rest your muscles, sleep well, eat well and take it easy.
3. Reduce Protein and fat; the aim is to increase carbohydrate intake, not your overall daily calorie intake. If you do this you will gain weight and feel uncomfortable. As you eat more carbs, reduce the amount of protein and fat you eat. Don't cut them out entirely though. You'll need around 15% lean protein, such as fish, chicken and eggs, and 15% fat, with a focus on heart-friendly unsaturated fats, such as oily fish, nuts, avocados.
4. Watch the Calories! You don't want to be standing on the start line feeling fat and nailed to the floor. Eating excess carbohydrates can make your stomach feel distended and uncomfortable, so choose your carbohydrates wisely. Some carbohydrate-rich foods, often the processed convenience foods such as crisps, donuts, buttery croissants, cheesy pizzas, or creamy pasta meals and curries, buttery baked potatoes, lattes and frapuccinos, are high in calories and unwanted fats. Choose lower fat carbohydrates such as oats, basmati rice, pasta with tomato-based sauces, noodle stir-fries, English muffins, wholemeal toast, plenty of fruit and vegetables.
5. Stick to plain and familiar foods, whether this is your first event ever or you are a seasoned competitor, you will no doubt suffer from pre-race nerves! This, combined with your taper, can play games with your stomach. You might feel unnecessarily bloated or full of wind, you might feel constipated, or worse suffer from diarrhoea. To minimise these effects, avoid high fibre foods, such as lentils, pulses, bran and brown rice, and keep to familiar foods that you would normally eat in your training diet.
6. Eat little and often. Your appetite may decrease with the taper and this can make eating your daily carbohydrate requirement difficult. Try to eat smaller meals and snack frequently. For examples of carbohydrate-rich snacks, see FuelSmart for Race Day.
7. Keep hydrated and you'll enjoy the race much better. During the three days before the event, keep a bottle of water with you and sip it frequently. Tea, coffee, squash, smoothies, juicy fruits and fruit juices, even soups will also boost your fluid intake. Some competitors find a glass of wine or a beer in the evening helps them relax. This is fine, but it is best to limit this to the one glass or to avoid the temptation completely.
8. The night before the race, continue to follow steps 1 to 7, and, most importantly, don't eat anything new. Sticking to familiar foods will ensure your stomach at its happiest! Drink plenty of water during the day and eat some plain carbs with a little protein and fat for your evening meal, like spaghetti with a pesto or tomato sauce, rice or couscous with grilled chicken and vegetables, perhaps a light salad, followed by a comforting pudding like an apple crumble to promote a deep sleep.
Athlete and cook, Kate Percy, brings sports nutrition to life with mouth-watering recipes for training and racing. Her new book, FuelSmart for Race Day, will steer you through the critical three days leading up to an endurance event with delicious recipes for optimum performance and advice on what, when and how much to eat for your best race ever.

Good advice, thank you.
Thanks Kate this really helps as I get close to the Rat Race in May.The race will last 4 hours any advice on what to have after the first 90 mins to keep the energy levels up?
Cags R, Jonathan H and 2 othersCags R, Jonathan H, Brenda D and Nick B encouraged this.
@mjfran there are compact sports gels which some people swear on - just make sure you train with them to save you from any unexpected tummy issues!

Great article, thanks for sharing.
I will put this into action this month. I have two half marathons. Thank you for the article!
Good advice - thanks!
Kate, your timing couldnt be more perfect.Thanks for such a great article :)
Nice article. Thank you.
Thanks heaps Cags :)
Wow, this is great. I was expecting all the carbo loading stuff that people talk about, but this is really good and parallels what I have learnt from the Australian Institue of Sport web site. I have my first half marathon in June so I wil be trying to stick to this advice. Cheers.

'Rise for 5' shirts still easy to buy in Atlanta
Apparently, not every vendor in Atlanta got the memo, like the one across the street from Centennial Olympic Park where this photo was taken. T-shirts bearing Ware's No. 5 were all over Atlanta throughout the Final Four weekend, mostly in the temporary sales tents along the streets between the Georgia Dome and downtown Atlanta.

Hi, I am unsure about what you are trying to achieve here as there is very little of the code.
$_ is a global variable and quite a few places in perl use $_ as the default.
To know more use 'perldoc perlvar' and you will have a good explanation of where and how $_ can be used.Below is a small program that uses $_ as the default for both the while loop and the print statement.
I hope this helps.

Stress Testing the Czech Banking System: Where Are We? Where Are We Going?
This note summarizes the various outputs from the CNB research project Stress Testing for Banking Supervision. Previous research notes in this project presented the key stress testing concepts and discussed the design of stress tests in general terms. Since then, the project has generated outputs that were presented, for example, in the CNB's first Financial Stability Report. The note describes the current status of the project by presenting the latest stress test results and by comparing the methodology of these tests with those presented by other central banks. Finally, the note suggests further steps to improve the stress testing program at the CNB, such as strengthening credit risk modeling, including by engaging commercial banks in the exercise. The note is accompanied by an appendix presenting one of the project's outputs, namely a survey of stress testing practices in commercial banks.

- High-quality 80/20 hamburger meat
- Hamburger Buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- Potato Chips, optional
Maid-Rite Special Sauce
- 1 large onion, chopped
- Shredded cabbage
- Dill pickles, chopped
- Mustard and mayonnaise
Heat oven for lightly toasting the hamburger buns. Brown loose meat and season with salt and pepper. Drain off nearly all fat. Add a small amount of water to keep meat "juicy." Prepare sauce by mixing all ingredients in a bowl. The amount of mustard and/or mayo to make the sauce is a matter of preference.
Each person prepares his/her own MAID-RITE. Spoon loose meat with a slotted spoon onto warmed hamburger buns. Top with special sauce and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Serve with potato chips. Enjoy!
Comment: This is the original MAID-RITE recipe according to my mom. She has been making these hamburgers since 1939 and had the honor of eating her first ones in Muscatine, Iowa *home of the MAID-RITE sandwiches*. Go here to read more about Mom's 1939 experience…
Comment: You can trust that this non-steamed recipe tastes eerily like the first constructed MAID-RITES!

If you like Sassy, Danger and Mystery, you'll love my any-age novels. Silki, the Girl of Many Scarves: SUMMER OF THE ANCIENT and Silki, the Girl of Many Scarves: CANYON OF DOOM are available at your nearest Barnes & Noble Bookseller, on this website, Amazon, B&N.com and more. For your convenience, it's also available on Kindle, the Nook and most other eBook readers.
Book Three of the Silki trilogy, VALLEY OF SHADOWS, launches fall 2016. Here's a quick synopsis:
Bummed that yet another summer has passed all too quickly, Silki and her best friend Birdie head out for one last hurrah at the Navajo Nation Fair. When the fun is overshadowed by the theft of a famous horse, Silki is plunged into a baffling adventure teeming with international undercurrents and intrigue. What's more, boy-crazy Birdie is fluttering her eyelashes at Silki's good-looking, visiting cousin at every turn, and Rez legend Old Man Concho is coughing up secrets dating back to 1942. What possible connection could he have to the Japanese tourists, and will Silki discover an ancient truth about the Valley of Shadows in time to save Lava, the leader of the Ghost Herd, as well as salvage her own broken heart?
Meet my CANYON OF DOOM AND VALLEY OF SHADOWS illustrator, the Drawing Hands.
Jodi Lea Stewart was born in Texas and grew up in Apache County on a cattle ranch near Concho, Arizona. She left the University of Arizona in Tucson to move to San Francisco, where she learned about peace, love and exactly what she didn't want to do with her life. Since then, Jodi graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Business Management, raised two children, worked as an electro-mechanical drafter, penned humor columns for a college periodical, wrote regional western articles and served as managing editor of a Fortune company newsletter. She currently resides in Texas and New Mexico with her husband, two Standard poodles, two rescue cats and numerous gigantic, bossy houseplants. SUMMER OF THE ANCIENT is Jodi's debut novel and Book One of the Silki, the Girl of Many Scarves trilogy. CANYON OF DOOM came next, and VALLEY OF SHADOWS hits the shelves summer of 2016, completing this exciting and fun adventure-mystery set in the Navajo Nation. Next on the horizon? A historical mystery novel set in the 1930s told through the eyes of a sharecropper's daughter.

Double Golf Organizer is rated out of 5 by 95.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mabelline from Great Purchase The golf organizer was purchased as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law. However, I purchased the same organizer for my husband 2 years ago and he loves it. Holds 2 sets of clubs and all his accessories. This unit is very durable and keeps all golf items nice and neat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Boops from Great to organize your Golf gear !! My husband and I play Golf around 3 to 4 times a week, so you can imagine that we have alot of Golf Gear stuck inside our garage, we are constantly moving Bags, shoes, etc. around to get our cars in ! I happened to see The Double Golf Organizer in the Frontgate catalog! I decided to buy one for my husband Birthday! I spent about 1 hour putting this together before he came home from Golf, he was so excited to see how well it was made and very sturdy and he couldn't believe I could put it together on my own, he Loves it and I do too! Our garage looks so organized now ! I'm so glad I spent the money for the Golf Organizer !! Thanks for a great product !!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mame from Best Golf Storage Rack High quality construction. Spacious enough to hold even big bags and all the accessories. Great design especially when you add casters so you can clean under it. Ours is in the garage and it really looks nice next to the door into the house. Keeps clutter to zero.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bebop from Great Product We waited to buy because the cost seemed rather high, but after looking at a number of cheaper alternatives, we went ahead with this product. We're glad we decided to go with the quality option in the end. It's sturdy, handsome, has plenty of room for our golf equipment, and looks like it will last forever. We also bought the casters, which really should have been included in the price but are still worth it. The assembly was easy, and the reviews to the contrary are somewhat puzzling. The plastic sleeves (which must, of course, be properly oriented and positioned over the grooves in the standards) worked just like every other similar steel shelving unit that we have purchased from Lowes, Container Store, etc. One of us put the unit together in about an hour. The only tools involved were a rubber mallet to gently set the shelves onto the plastic sleeves and the included wrench to install the casters onto the unit. Our only real complaint (apart from the high cost) is that the rings at each end, while working fine for extra clubs and things like ball retrievers, are too small for storing our rolled umbrellas. But this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LVgal from Great Golf Organizer This is a great golf organizer once you get it assembled. It's very sturdy, and nice looking; however, it does come in several pieces that you need to assemble. It took my finance and I approximately 2 hours to assemble although we knew this beforehand from reading prior reviews. It's a good exercise in tolerance and patience! We do love the finish product, and highly recommend it. My golfing friend is going to purchase one on our recommendation providing my finance assembles it for her. Hopefully our previous experience will shorten the assembly time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VGCC from Repeat Purchase I purchased one of these double golf organizers over a year ago, for two sets of clubs. Very satisfied with that purchase, so when my wife said we'd be keeping extra clubs at our vacation home, "so our friends don't have to bring their own, or rent from the clubhouse", I thought I'd buy another organizer. Turns out, I bought a new double organizer and a single organizer to hold the three extra sets of clubs my wife wanted to keep. I also bought the casters, to make the organizers easy to move. Like with the first organizer I bought, I'm again very satisfied with the new purchases. The instructions seem a bit daunting, but the assembly is not difficult - just take your time and read each step before you proceed. The finished product is very sturdy, and definitely does the job. Shipping was good, right to the garage door.

Are there brakes on the casters? Is there a total weight capacity for the Double Golf Organizer?
Thank you for your interest in the Double Golf Organizer. Each shelf has a weight limit of 175 lbs and if you purchase the set of 5 casters, item 31056, 2 feature a lock/break and the other 3 do not.
Date published: 2015-10-29
If ordered today, when could this be delivered to zip-code 15085. It will be a gift for my brother.
Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The Double Golf Organizer is presently in stock. The item would arrive within 5-7 business days once the order is placed.

How do you order the casters for the double golf organizer
I don't see an option to order the casters for the double golf organizer. How can I order both?
Thank you for your interest for Frontgate. The casters that are compatible with the Double Golf Organizer are the Set of Five Casters for Steel Shelves, Item: 31056. When using with the Golf Organizer, you will only use 4 of the 5 casters that come in the set.

I'm not the greatest sports buff in the world. I know a few facts and trivial statistics, and I can tell you some stories about some great games I once saw. But I'm not really the best commentator on the technicalities of the game.
What I do know centers, obviously, on the way the Church works, particularly in the area of human relationships. For example, I understand that when tragedy strikes, people pull together. Folks start to draw on their traditions and their long held beliefs. And when one of our number is struck down, we come together and absorb the damage as best we can, distributing the stress and pain across a broader platform.
I think the same thing is happening at Penn State.
Players and fans are being punished for crimes committed off the field and apart from the athletic program. Rather than the guilty parties suffering at the hands of the NCAA, the entire university is being punished. The cry of "improper hero worship" may apply, but that doesn't diminish the severity of the discipline that has been handed down. While Joe Pa's status and prestige almost certainly contributed to the cover up, that status and prestige was otherwise well-deserved.
And the pain of the punishment is being absorbed across an entire culture, a dispersed community of Penn State fans when it should be dangling sharply over the small group of back room officials and administrators who conspired to keep the crimes a secret.
But there is no sharp point on this punishment. It is a blunt instrument, bludgeoning athletes, coaches, staff, alumni, and fans who knew nothing of these horrible crimes. And so an entire program has been gutted and a legacy of a proud university has been undermined by the crimes of one assistant and the cover-up perpetrated by numerous officials at Penn State.
Such a tragedy is unparalleled on the Penn State campus, and hard to find without doing a little research. You'd have to know someone from the University of Kentucky basketball program for the 1952–53 season. Or maybe the basketball program at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) for the 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons. There's the tragic demise of the Southern Methodist University football program for the 1987 and 1988 seasons and the men's soccer program at Morehouse College for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. You also have the Division III men's tennis program at MacMurray College for the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons.
Each of these schools earned the Death Penalty, as it is so often called by fans, coaches, and athletes alike. In each of those situations, the NCAA banned the program from participating in that particular sport for at least a year. In each situation, the program benefited from a rules infraction that gave their athletes an unfair advantage.
While Penn State will not suffer the Death Penalty, the severity of the sanctions will result in near identical damage to the program. It has taken SMU more than two decades to rebuild its program. USAToday summarized it this way:
[In] Penn State's case, the NCAA confronted a scandal unlike any the association had ever seen. The wrongdoing, while egregious, did not reflect traditional violations of NCAA bylaws. And no obvious competitive advantage was gained by the cover-up of criminal activity.
Surely, there is a better way for the NCAA to react. Surely, they can apply a more surgical solution with a precision that will spare the innocent and punish the guilty.
Worst of all, Joe isn't around to defend himself nor to offer explanation. If he knew, and it appears he did, then the infractions are indefensible. But the punishment comes to far too many. And the innocent help to pay the price for the guilty — again.

Federal Long-Term Care Insurance Program Raises Rates
Federal employees have had access to a group long-term care insurance plan backed by two of the major carriers in this field for several years. Interestingly, if an individual is in reasonably good health, they could often get a better deal by going directly to those two carriers to purchase an individual policy instead of choosing the government plan.
Recently the Office of Personnel Management announced a rate increase for the government plan because the contract for the next seven years had come up for bid. The contract was awarded to only one of the major carriers, John Hancock. The rate increase for current policyholders has been announced as being between 5% and 25%.
Of course, this makes the government program even less attractive to many when factoring in the current rate increase. My recommendation to prospective buyers of the federal plan is to be sure to compare premiums with the major insurers of individual plans as it makes more sense than ever to do so.

RTX Red Rock
June 18, 2003 - Considering the potential of a Mars, um, license(?), it's strange to find that there's actually quite a void in the number of games that actually utilize the red planet as a game environment. Looking to fill one notch in that void is LuacasArts' RTX Red Rock, a third-person action-adventure game that takes place on, you guessed it, Mars.
LucasArts Studio Tour
April 22, 2003 - We take the tour of the RTX team's office space.
RTX Red Rock Developer Commentary #2
April 14, 2003 - IGN recently had the opportunity to visit LucasArts to get some one-on-one time with the team behind its new space-themed action adventure, RTX Red Rock. It's a completely original franchise, and to help us better understand its direction and overall concept, we got a detailed explanation from the game's producer Reeve Thompson. However, as it so often happens, readers only get a chance to read what the editors relay from these types of conversations. This is why we've designed our Developer Commentary feature, which cuts out the middle-man and delivers you the word direct from the game maker's mouth. In this second edition of the RTX Red Rock Developer Commentary, producer Reeve Thompson talks about RTX's vehicles, weapons, and much more. Join us and check out all the new direct-feed footage of Red Rock in action.
RTX Red Rock Hands-on
March 31, 2003 - Mars. The red planet is the subject of numerous movies, books, and even the daily news. Something so prolific and fascinating was bound to make its way to videogames, and this May, LucasArts will be bringing their latest original franchise, RTX Red Rock, to gamers everywhere. Well, we just got in the latest build of the game are here to give the lowdown on life in low gravity.
RTX Red Rock Site Launches
January 31, 2003 - LucasArts just shot word down the pipe that it has launched the official web destination for its upcoming Martian adventure, RTX Red Rock. Located at the cleverly titled RTX Red Rock.com, the new site has all manner of information for the curious gamer.
RTX Red Rock: Progress Report
November 6, 2002 - LucasArts invited members of the press to the ultra-modern W-Hotel this morning to celebrate the upcoming release of its approaching videogame roster. Among the small list of titles that were unveiled was the NASA-inspired third-person action title RTX Red Rock. The originator of an engine that was eventually snagged by another team in the LucasArts developer cove to create Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Red Rock has revealed itself to be an even deeper experience than originally anticipated. Approximately 70% finished in its current form, LucasArts' newest member of the action family has incredible potential.
RTX Red Rock: Interview with Reeve S. Thompson
June 12, 2002 - One of the first real high profile games to come out of LucasArts that isn't a Star Wars title in quite some time, RTX Red Rock has been catching the buzz from curious genre nuts and action fans alike. Taking place over 100 years into the future on a Martian colony that's been invaded by aliens, you assume the role of Eugene Zeno (E.Z.) Wheeler: A Special Forces commando sent in to stop the alien threat and bring peace to the colony.
RTX Red Rock
June 10, 2002 - A century into the future, in the year 2103, human advancement is at its peak. Colonizers of other planets, (including our crimson neighbor Mars) the citizens of the earth have been striving to reach previously unattainable goals through the power of technology. But without warning, and quicker than anyone could have imagined, alien bullies have powered their way onto the homeworld's Martian structures, and have become an immediate threat to the people of Earth. That's where you come in. Assuming the role of "E.Z. Wheeler", you are thrown into the persona of a kick ass futuristic samurai more popularly known as Radical Tactics Expert or RTX. Accompanied by sleek digital companion IRIS, and supported by a bevy of weapons and super powers, E.Z. has been sent to the tarnished Martian colony with a single task at hand: Stop the alien threat.
RTX Red Rock Announced
May 7, 2002 - LucasArts Entertainment today announced that it is in development with a new GameCube and PlayStation 2 action-adventure called RTX Red Rock. The title will debut for both platforms in the spring of 2003, according to the company.

Once upon a time, Kim Kardashian wore a white sweatsuit with "Mrs. Humphries" printed on it. But on that August day, the reality star changed into a stunning Vera Wang gown, walked down the aisle and said "I do" to Kris Humphries.
Friday, the 31-year-old stepped out in L.A. wearing a different white hoodie with the words "I am love" printed on it. The reality star looked like she was trying to remain incognito, pulling the hood up above her hair and keeping dark sunglasses on.
While Kim filed for divorce on Oct. 31, Humphries responded with his own legal maneuver Thursday: responding with a request for an annulment of their 72-day marriage on Thursday.
But a source close to Kim tells Us Weekly that she "initially asked for an annulment, but he said no."
The pal adds that Kardashian has no interest in haggling with her ex (they married Aug. 20) in court or in the public eye.
"Kim just wants it to be over and done with and move on," the source says. "She doesn't want a battle, she wants to leave this drama behind."

A look at the world through my eyes. Well, just part of the world.
I've never been the most up to date with modern technology. I was still playing my PlayStation while all my friends were enjoying their nifty little GameCubes and Xboxes.
But lately I've been feeling a bit left out of this strange phenomenon of the smartphone.
I was one of the last of my friends to get a cell phone back in middle school, and I've continued to feel perpetually behind the times when it comes to my mobile devices.
My first phone was a black Pay As You Go phone. My parents thought having me pay for every individual minute I spent talking to someone was a good way to teach me responsibility. What they didn't know about was the social stigma that came with the pathetic excuse for communication.
I quickly earned a reputation as the only member of my family not included in my family plan, and my inappropriately loud Jimmy Eat World ringtone drew attention to the fact that I was one of few people in my grade who still hadn't bought the RAZR.
I was beyond excited when that phone died from natural causes – my hands – and could only hope the replacement would put me more on par with the rest of society.
The replacement was worse. It was called The Oyster for the sole reason that it was white and oval-shaped. It was designed to look like a crustacean but ended up looking like a deformed egg.
This pansy-ass device stuck with me until I was 16 years old, at which point my parents promoted me to a slider with light-up buttons. I was overjoyed. Within a week or two, I had filled the phone's camera to capacity with pictures of myself holding up peace signs.
I kept that baby through October of my freshman year of college. When I was due for an upgrade, I went with my mom to the store feeling nervous about my fate. I had a selection of free phones to choose from, the best of which was a slender, touch-screen called the Laser.
I was immediately attracted to its sleek and shiny appearance, not to mention the badass name. Most of all, I was thrilled that my new phone had access to the Internet. It may not have been an iPhone or a Blackberry, but it had most of the same capabilities.
Of course, my dad warned me I had to pay for every second I spent on the Internet and should avoid using this feature. My first Friday night out with the phone, I had three too many margaritas and spent two and a half minutes online making Facebook statuses like "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"
My dad called the phone company the next day and deactivated my Internet access.
But as the years go on, I realize that it doesn't matter if I don't have the next best piece of technology. My Laser and I have had some great times together, and I wouldn't change that for the world.
And even though I can't use FaceTime or BBM, I'm grateful for my phone because it's kept me humble. Plus, I can drop it on the ground and it's not a big deal at all.

I can't really see it being useful for anything but module load/unload, and I'm sure in 2.5 we will see people needing other APIs - disable_cpu(int cpu)-like. > The weakness in this (and in your proposal, Rusty) is the case where > some module code does a schedule() when the module reference count is > zero. I'm not aware of any which can do this, but all it would take is You're still not allowed to be stupid, no. What makes this slightly less problematic is schedule() with a zero reference count is a bug, even on UP. Note that schedule() in the cleanup_module function isn't a bug, as long as you can guarantee the module count won't be incremented again. > Two more things: > > You had: > > if (atomic_read(&mod->uc.use) == 0) > mod->cleanup(); > > This could be changed to > > if (atomic_read(&mod->uc.use) == 0) { > atomic_inc(&mod->uc.use); > mod->cleanup(); > atomic_dec(&mod->uc.use); > } > > to avoid bizarre reentrancy happenings if the module destructor somehow > calls schedule(). I think we should mark a module that's being unloaded anyway. incrementing the use count would be nice because it would mea schedule() with a zero use count is always a bug. Philipp Rumpf

I know I am silly, but free cheese makes me so very happy. I have been telling everyone I know how to get Cheese free at Albertsons this week. The first question they always ask is "can you freeze it?". Well I am not a cheese expert, but I have been freezing cheese for as long as I can remember.
I DO NOT freeze brick cheese, because it will become very crumbly once you thaw it. You can still eat it, but it just looks weird….so I choose not to freeze it.
But I DO freeze grated cheese. It will freeze really well, and once it thaw's, it looks and tastes the same. If it starts to form ice on the inside from temperature variation (may happen if your freezer door is left open or if it gets unplugged) it can make the cheese a little "sticky" once it thaws, so keep an eye out for that. But for the most part I have always had great luck.
How about you, do you freeze it?

AS THE AFL continues to push into the US to recruit players, the poster boy for the campaign has found himself out of a job.
Shae McNamara, the American basketballer who has spent the past three years rookie-listed at Collingwood, was cut by the Magpies yesterday. McNamara is featured in a video recently made by the AFL promoting the league to prospective international recruits, including an interview in which he says he ''plays for the Collingwood Football Club''.
McNamara, 27, from Milwaukee, signed an international rookie contract in 2009 after posting YouTube footage of himself playing football. He played some NAB Cup games for the Pies, but was never elevated to the primary list. He was one of five rookie-listed players cut by Collingwood yesterday. Irishman Paul Cribbin, Daniel Farmer, Lachlan Smith and Trent Stubbs are looking for new clubs. None played a senior game.
''Football, at this level, has to be a way of life and all of the boys committed to that, which we thank them for,'' Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh said on the club's website. ''We certainly hope they find success with whatever it is they choose to take on next.''
The AFL ran a combine in Los Angeles recently where basketballers were targeted for a switch to Australian football. Two of the 20 to 30 athletes who took part will be invited to the AFL's draft combine after this season.

So much opportunity to do far more on both fronts - and finally, given the impacts of SharePoint and Google - digital content is becoming recognized as the massively powerful business opportunity for companies large and small - not just for e-commerce applications, but for employees, suppliers, partners, and more.
Still a lot of maturity to run through for most companies, but Level 1 awareness of the potential is sinking in, and causing people to want to run much faster and farther than I've seen in years. Exciting times for those who are putting in the investment of skills and tech to take advantage of the still fairly early days of digital content.
Interesting twist on re-use - The P (Put to other uses) in SCAMPER (a creative problem solving technique, for those who don't use it - deceptively simple, extremely powerful - I know Wayne knows this well, given his DI background) - is one of those areas that people really seem to have a hard time focusing on.
It's often that we try to create something from nothing, and waste valuable cycles creating solutions to problems that nobody particularly cares about, when we could much more easily Observe what people are doing/saying, Orient our mindset to meet their (the user/customer) needs head on, Decide on how best to improve/tweak (or if needed, outright overhaul/innovate) to address the need, and then Act (and deliver) the proposed solution, and see what the reaction is.
Repeat and refine as needed.
I'm describing OODA loops above - fascinating back story for those who are interested (Based on John "40 Second" Boyd http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/59/pilot.html ). For more on loops, collaboration and re-use at http://www.slideshare.net/dan.keldsen/enterprise-... - apparently that presentation has caught on, with over 10,000 views since I posted it.
Of course the realization that content and reader/usage analytics is possible is a major mental barrier to entry, as until the digital age snuck up on us, while some people (smart marketers/advertisers) would test copy and see what behaviors were driven, the vast majority of people who write (not well, to your point), have no idea that writing style is not just a personal choice, but needs to be targeted to the context of those who are going to consume it.
But once that alignment is found... and monitored/adjusted over time... it's a tremendous competitive advantage, and hits both the the top-line (revenue) and bottom-line (cost) which is where you start to unleash real, sustainable growth over competitors (rather than the pure cost reduction focus that many take).
Great post - keep up the good work!

385 weeks ago @ Seek Omega - Yammer - What You Need... · 0 replies · +1 points
IMHO, Yammer is yet another Enteprise 2.0 silo, and while there is always a need for real-time answers, and Twitter has proven that (although frequently dubious value) vs. the closed silo of mass e-mail, I don't personally (or professionally - this is a space I've covered for years after all) believe Yammer is ramping up fast enough to compete with all of the other E2.0 solutions that provide what they are doing (microblogging), alongside a larger suite of collaboration tools.
They are also, from what I can tell, running behind SocialCast, who is their closest direct competitor, and any way you slice it, while I wish them the best, people don't "do" microblogging or (for that matter) Enterprise 2.0 AS their job, they use the capabilities as part of whatever they ACTUALLY do for a job, and no job that I know of requires a single tool in the toolkit.
On the integration front - SharePoint 2007 integration is weeks away? My god, MOSS 2007 came out, well, 3 years ago. What's the rush? The swarm around MOSS 2010, unless Yammer has carved out some space with Microsoft directly, is going to be incredibly crowded, right out of the gate. BTW - integration code is almost literally free at this point, license it, or hire an offshore team in Russia, Korea or Taiwan, and you'll have your enterprise connectors in no time. If they are building all of that themselves, that's another major warning sign that they are not going to live much longer.
It's high time for convergence, folks. And it's completely in your grasp. Don't confuse easy to deploy and easy to use, with long-term value. I'm all for providing entry points to E2.0 within organizations, but think larger than microblogging - there's no need to limit to such a narrow toolset at this point.
Agree that doing nothing is not a good strategy, and neither is "run with a tool that only solves 10% of your collaboration problems." Hit pause for a second, and throw out a handful of the collaboration scenarios you might need and THEN take a look at what would solve those problems.
BTW - I described several ways to look at the need for (or lack of need) for real-time collaboration, and how to frame the capabilities to support those needs in a webinar hosted by AIIM and Google a few months ago. See IA Webinar: Real-time Working with Collaboration.
In all honesty, when we do consulting work, frequently the answer is not any MORE technology (freemium or not), but the reapplication/deployment of investments a business has already made. No capital expenditures, no new POs, just fix what was broken and get back on to BUSINESS, not chasing a featureset.
As a former CTO, and now consultant, I don't care whether you're in IT, or on the business side, focus on the BUSINESS VALUE first, and not the features, or you're only making the problem worse.
And in 2010, that shouldn't be good enough. Your business, your employees and your customers deserve more. Think Macro, not Micro.

On designing her own fragrance Cheryl said, "It's like every little girl's dream. When I was a kid, I used to create perfumes with my sister, so I've been obsessed even from a young age.
"I always liked to smell fresh, clean and floral. This fragrance makes you feel feminine and elegant. I've been working on this from scratch - everything from the scent to the bottle design. I didn't want to just put my name to a fragrance."

We were so pleasantly surprised by this gem: super clean, great breakfast (even includes gluten-free goods), friendly and helpful staff.It is outside the old city, but less than 10 minutes by car(or about 25 minute stroll, mostly along nice riverside walk) to the big free parking lots. Nice and quiet, comfortable beds and wonderful bathrooms.

|There are now 5 bolted lines. From the right, they go at 5.7 (though listed at 5.8 in Rossiter), 5.8 (dirty at the bottom, better up top), 5.9- (listed as 5.9), then around the corner on the face to the left, a 5.9+, then a 10b(?) or so. All bolts are new, with hangers. The water level today (May, 2002) was low enough you can cross without the Tyrolean.
By Ray Snead
Jun 3, 2002
This is easy to find, but the description above could be a bit clearer. Cross the tyrolean as described above (or wade just downstream) to a talus slope. Follow talus up and right, and catch a trail on the right and just below a chossy buttress. The trail contours around to the Watermark.
Note that right above the talus is a cliff with a single bolt route - this is not the Watermark.

A little more beta on the approach...
Rossiter suggests parking just past Practice Rock. If you do this, the walk is shorter to the 'lower' tyrolian, but you have to cross the road. Drive just over 1/10th of a mile past Practice Rock, park on the right at a small pullout. Cross the road, cross the barrier, and locate the tyrolian. It deposits you onto a large talus slope.
Turn right after getting off the rope, walk about 20 meters staying 25 feet or so above the water. Enter the trees at a faint path just above the water and walk another 25-30 meters before turning uphill to arrive at the Watermark. The arete that is Memory of Trees is fairly obvious.
If you park at Animal World/Boulderado, walk creekside for a ways (5-10 minutes) downhill, until you get to the second, or lower, tyrolian. Longer walk, but probably safer.

There is a hand line across the creek just upstream of the Watermark. On 7/12/04, we were able to wade the creek 30' downstream from the hand line. A climber's path leads up to the rock from this point.
The Watermark is a nice, shady spot for late afternoon climbing on hot summer days.
By Richard Rossiter
Aug 14, 2006
There are two ways to go from Avalon to Watermark: The Low trail and The High Trail. The Low Trail is only useful to reach Watermark from the Tyrolean traverse for Avalon or from the bottom of the First Tier. This trail goes upstream (south) beneath a cliffband that eventually merges with Watermark and arrives at a platform beneath Twin Peaks and Glennevere.
The High Trail is beautiful and was recently rebuilt. It provides easy access to Watermark from the Second Tier of Avalon. Depending on which way you are going, it starts just above the junction on the approach to Avalon where you can go left to the Tarot Wall or straight up to the Free Fall area and Wall of the Dead. Go right just above a big Douglas fir (well below Goat Rock) and follow a beautiful trail that leads south to the top of Watermark. From the top of Watermark continue south, then down to the west and arrive at the bottom of Lothlorien.

|Great, shady summer climbing! However, maybe it's my height, maybe the climbs are a bit soft for they're rating, or maybe it's that the lines are a bit contrived, but of the ones I've climbed Twin Peaks seemed to be the only one that felt like its grade.

|I found a red Nalgene at the base of Twin Peaks yesterday (4/23). Looked like it had been dropped from the belay spot for Twin Peaks, but it could have rolled there from anywhere. Come pick it up in Boulder if it's yours.
By Gary Johnston
From: Boulder, CO
May 24, 2016
|There is a large, recently fallen dead tree across the creek that makes for a fairly easy crossing. It's directly across from Watermark, below the hand line and above the Avalon tyrolean. It's been nicely trimmed with handhold length branches (thank you, whoever did this!). Use at your own risk, especially in high water season when a swim would be very dangerous!
