---- — Too many of today's cars feel exactly the same.
If you're looking at a new crossover vehicle or mid-size sedan, nearly every one is a slightly different flavor of vanilla. They've all got good brakes, good steering and a good suspension. They're all quiet and relatively smooth riding.
Differences between them are so subtle, it's easy to accuse the auto manufacturers of playing a giant, expensive game of copycat.
Then you drive a Jeep Wrangler and realize just how different a vehicle can be.
The Wrangler is an anachronism, the kind of car that has all but died off as buyers focus on comfort and fuel economy — two things the Wrangler simply doesn't exist to do.
But thank God it's still around.
This is the original Jeep, the one with roots dating back to World War II, and you can feel it all the time. It's like driving a tent on roller skates. There's simply nothing else like it, as anyone who's driven a Jeep knows.
It's become even more of a loner now that the Hummer brand has disappeared, leaving it virtually deserted as the only affordable vehicle that's engineered specifically for off-road driving. Other cars may have boxy bodies and all-wheel drive, but a 4x4 Jeep is the real thing — the one vehicle that's actually meant to spend all day pounding the trails, not just looking the part.
That means it comes with tradeoffs, of course, as it sacrifices comfort at the altar of off-road performance. It's bouncy and rough riding, and also one of the noisiest vehicles at highway speed.
At the same time, it's come a long way in terms of livability in just a few short years. It's still largely a toy, something designed for fun on the weekends — and making you smile throughout the week — but it's also quieter and more modern than it used to be.
The 2013 Wrangler, for instance, comes with thicker, premium cloth material for the soft top that does a better job sealing out wind and road noise. It also comes with new, more comfortable seats and an easy-lift mechanism for helping remove the top.
At its core, though, the Wrangler stays true to the Jeep mission — off-road performance. It's all about tow hooks and roll bars, torque and traction, and it's an absolute blast to drive off the pavement.
To get similar performance in a different car, you've got to pay a whole lot more. Only a few vehicles come close to matching what the Wrangler can do, albeit more luxuriously, including the Range Rover ($83,500), Toyota Land Cruiser ($78,255) and Mercedes-Benz G-Class ($113,000).
Who would actually want to take those expensive cars onto trails, though? You'd have to be both crazy and wealthy to do it.
For those of us who are only slightly crazy and not wealthy, the Jeep Wrangler exists to whet our off-road appetite.
It starts at $22,195 with two doors, or $25,695 for the four-door Wrangler Unlimited.

The Pianist
Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann
Directed by Roman Polanski
What strikes you first about The Pianist, aside from the fact that it is Roman Polanski's most personal and powerful film in years, is its rigorous lack of sentimentality. Polanski and screenwriter Ronald Harwood (The Dresser) never resort to phony Life Is Beautiful uplift in telling the true story of young pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), a Polish Jew who survived the Nazi invasion of Warsaw (where much of this film was shot) by hiding out and living like an animal. If the film lacks the heroic heft of Schindler's List, it is second to none in unflinching honesty.
In telling this harrowing tale, adapted from Szpilman's 1946 memoir, Polanski draws on his own childhood in Poland (he escaped the Krakow ghetto, though his mother died in a concentration camp) and his soul-deep faith in the tender mercies of art. Szpilman is first seen playing Chopin for Polish radio when the Nazi bombs fall in 1939. Until the end of war, when a Nazi officer (the superb Thomas Kretschmann) asks him to play, Szpilman is mostly alone, observing the horror through windows, hearing music only in his head.
That we never get inside Szpilman's head is the film's nagging flaw. Brody (Summer of Sam) works miracles at showing bruises beyond words and tears. But the script, eager to avoid glib posturing, denies the character fullness. That note of detachment could cost The Pianist in the Oscar race, as could the statutory-rape charges against Polanski that prompted the now sixty-nine-year-old director to flee the U.S. three decades ago. Still, nothing can detract from the film as a portrait of hell so shattering it's impossible to shake.

Alex Ovechkin isn't making any waves in this season's goal-scoring race, but he's putting up assists like never before. Since wingers aren't usually known for their playmaking, I wondered how common it is for a left wing to put up numbers like this. Well, it turns out the all-time single season record for assists by a left wing is 70, set by Joe Juneau as a Boston Bruin back in the freewheeling days of 1992-'93. With 21 assists in 24 games, Ovechkin is on pace to break that record with 71.75 assists over 82 games. Ovechkin already owns the record for most goals in a season by a left wing, with 65. Meanwhile, Luc Robitaille still owns the left wing single season points record, with 126 (Ovechkin's best-ever is 112).
Ovechkin's pace would break this record by the slimmest of margins, and a number of things could derail him. He will need to play at least 81 games, something he hasn't managed for the last two seasons running. Alex Semin's fantastic production would need to continue. And if Ovechkin's goal scoring picks up, it may come at the expense of assists if he isn't looking to pass as frequently.
Finally, if he decided to spend the rest of the season at right wing, that bar is set considerably higher: Jaromir Jagr holds the record with 87. But Ovechkin's five assists in only two games on the right side remind us that nothing's out of reach for the Great 8.

A Novel
Kathryn Harrison
Random House: 315 pp., $27
Kathryn Harrison's new novel begins with drama and a famous death: "The day they pulled father's body out from under the ice, the first day of the new year, 1917, my sister, Varya, and I became wards of Tsar Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov and were moved, under imperial guard, from the apartment at 64 Gorokhovaya Street to the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Seloe, the royal family's private village outside the capital."
The father in question is Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, the feared and despised influence behind the czar's throne, and the speaker is Rasputin's 18-year-old daughter, Masha. The Mad Monk had children — who knew? Harrison's discovery of this historical information, she notes in her acknowledgments, inspired her narrative.
Masha is soon recruited by the czarina, in the hope that she has inherited her father's powers of healing and will be able to help the young czarevich, Alexei, with his precarious health. Masha comes to know Alexei more intimately as Alyosha. He suffers from hemophilia, the blood disease that has turned out to be another part of his royal birthright. Masha's mention of the year, 1917, tips us off, however, that she will not be able to save Alyosha and that the Romanovs will soon fall.The young czarevich will indeed bleed to death, though not because of hemophilia.
The territory of "Enchantments" is familiar therefore, but the perspective is new. Masha's redemptive gifts turn out to be those not of the healer but of the storyteller. In the months after the czar's abdication, when the Romanovs and their entourage are incarcerated, she and Alyosha weave a magic carpet of story — stories they trade, embroider, re-invent; stories about horses, America, the devil and especially their own families. Masha re-invents our ideas of Rasputin, and the world of Nicholas and Alexandra is imbued with a glow whose fierceness is governed by the imminence of its loss.
Harrison has written previous historical novels, notably "Poison," but her most famous book, and in a way her ur-text, is "The Kiss," a devastating memoir in which she tells of the sexual abuse inflicted on her by her own father. "The Kiss" burns with submerged fury, and it announces themes that weave through her work like intertwined veins. In her books, we find a wounded yet steely and profound understanding of power and the hope, the dream almost, that through the wonder of words history might be understood and reclaimed.
One chilly scene features Derevenko, who "had cared for Alyosha for eight years with a devotion that appeared sincere," testing the new power that the revolution has given him by ordering Alyosha about: "'You!' he barked. 'Light my cigarette. Polish my boots and shine my buckle. And when you've done that, go to the kitchen and get me something to eat.'"
Another wonderful moment occurs when the deposed czar tries to take a ride on his bicycle and discovers that even such an innocent desire has been rendered dangerous and absurd by the new forces in control.
The novel's guiding metaphor is the collection of jeweled eggs that Fabergé crafted for the czar's children, and one of those eggs in particular, a replica in miniature of the grand imperial palace.
"Inside the egg was a park and trees and a white-and-yellow palace so detailed I almost had to believe I was seeing a real building, only through the wrong end of a telescope," Masha remembers. "There were balustrades and balconies, patios, windows, arched porticoes, a man-made pond and grotto, a Chinese village, a marble bridge, and an elephant house."
This egg, Masha says, has a window, which magnifies and casts a spell: "I saw into the egg, all the way in, and not only did I see the tiny palace's rooms but I entered them, and there were people inside, not people made of jewels, but real people, and the people were us. I was in the palace in the egg and in the palace the egg was in, and one was the same as the other, and I didn't know who was the real me…"
Eventually, we see Masha married, not, of course, to her beloved Alyosha but to Boris Soloviev, a charlatan, a parody of Rasputin himself, who has "made a career of conducting séances in St. Petersburg, bilking women of their jewels in return for messages from their departed."
Those jewels help fund Masha's escape from Russia to Europe and America, where she becomes a circus entertainer. The bigger lion that she tames is history itself, a beast that devours the Romanovs without compunction. "Enchantments" climaxes, as the reader senses it must, with the grisly extermination of Alyosha and his family and the annihilation of their corpses, stacked "like logs on the back of a truck" — dismembered, thrown down a mine shaft, burned and covered with acid.
Harrison's narrative tactics deliver this oft-told moment with shocking freshness, and a major part of the job of any historical fiction is fulfilled. Harrison acknowledges Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" as an influence; I think I also detect shades of Angela Carter. Harrison is ruthless in her exposure of emotion's darker side. The Romanov world isn't idealized, exactly, but the way that world is crushed reminds us of a crucial truth: The individual counts, always and forever.
Rayner is the author, most recently, of "A Bright and Guilty Place."

Potential cellular mechanisms for activating inflammatory signaling.
Obesity and high-fat diet activate IKKβ/NF-κB and JNK pathways in adipocytes, hepatocytes, and associated macrophages. Stimuli that have been shown to activate these pathways during metabolic dysregulation include ligands for TNF-α, IL-1, Toll, or AGE receptors (TNFR, IL-1R, TLR, or RAGE, respectively), intracellular stresses including ROS and ER stress, ceramide, and various PKC isoforms. Obesity-induced IKKβ activation leads to NF-κB translocation and the increased expression of numerous markers and potential mediators of inflammation that can cause insulin resistance. Obesity-induced JNK activation promotes the phosphorylation of IRS-1 at serine sites that negatively regulate normal signaling through the insulin receptor/IRS-1 axis. Examples include serine-302 (pS302) and serine-307 (pS307). By contrast, evidence has not been reported for obesity-induced effects on transcription factors such as AP-1 that are regulated by JNK. IKKβ and/or NF-κB are inhibited or repressed by the actions of salicylates, TZDs, and statins.

This Sunday for the second year in a row I'll be hosting Easter brunch. I'm pretty pumped to have my entire family over to spend the day, but I'm sure at times I'll want to wring some necks. I always try my best to leave my electronics alone (or off) on holidays, but sometimes it's not that easy. We have such a crazy attachment to our devices that trying to be without them for just a day is an impossible task for some. So what we want to know is if you survive without your devices on holidays or it's business as usual. Let us know in the poll above, then hit up the comments!

My Bold is never ever never ever never more than 3 feet from me and usually clipped on my belt or held with a G.I. Joe kung-fu grip that Chuck Norris couldn't break.

I never turn my phone off, and is with me at all times, holidays, work, always!!
Kingkracker Apr 7, 2012 at 11:11 pm
My BB never leaves me. It is attached to one hip and my Playbook is attached to the other. Today I prepared for Easter by looking up recipes on my PB, making shopping lists on my BB , used the timer on the PB while I baked goodies, communicated with friends and family via BBM and phone. Now I catch up with email and Crackberry while in bed.
Yeah, I guess I can say I use my Blackberries on holidays. :)

When people say do you take your bb on vacation the inference is "do you take your work on vacation?". For most of Us our bb is either personal or a combo. I have a work and personal bb. On holiday (heck even the weekends my work bb stays in my laptop bag. On Sunday I check if I need to charge it or not, which is the extent of the love that bb gets). My personal one like others have mentioned--never more than a few feet away :)
As kingcracker states- using the pb to look up recipes, etc, and the bb for shopping lists bbm's and texts.

It doesn't leave me.

I am on holiday right now. I'm on Vodafone UK and I'm currently in the Philippines. I have used up my £100 data allowance already and I've only spent a week here, doing extremely light browsing. EXTREMELY LIGHT! I turn my data services off whenever I don't use it, yet I used 100MB within 5 days. I have to leech off Wi-Fi hotspots to connect to the internet and receive work emails. I have another three weeks to go and I am already showing signs of BlackBerry withdrawal symptoms. I go to an internet café at least once or twice a day. Still, though, I get to enjoy the white sand, palm trees and 100°F sun.

My 9850 and PlayBook do not do business work during holidays unless it is a (life-threatening) emergency. However, they are a part of my personal holiday. Yesterday, my PB was busy taking videos of the Easter Egg hunt and other activities to share with family that could not travel to attend. Wouldn't think of leaving them out!
That said, family dysfunction stemming from lack of "family policy" on media use is increasing. Blurred and innappropriate boundaries are leading to more distress between couples, and adolescents are losing sleep and getting into trouble. Laws and cultural norms always lag behind advances in technology, so some couples and families are having to catch up. Others are ahead of the curve and initiating trends such a "media fasts" or very clear relationship boundaries concerning media use. These are issues even hard-core Berry lovers such as ourselves should probably consider.
SummersLastNight Apr 8, 2012 at 11:37 am
Typical calendar holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc) I will use my Bold 9900 as if it were any normal day. If it is a vacation from work, where I am on a beach, camping or any other get away I will put it away and leave the world behind. That is why I planned a get away afterall, to leave the people and work I have behind.

My bb is my home phone since I've cancelled my land line(nobody called my land line for ages but telemarketers). So It is always with me. Only problem is that my boss bbm me at home & I can't really pretend not to notice.

Daily News Analysis
Neo-cons flock to Hillary's camp like flies to garbageby crescent-online.net
July, 2014
America's neo-cons have found Hillary Clinton's aggressive policies to their liking and are flocking to her like flies to filth. Pity the American people for they will end up even more isolated--and hated--globally. The military-industrial complex will get a major boost in their projects for endless wars and killing of innocent people.
Main Stories
Meet al-Baghdadi, America's newest "poster boy"by Yusuf Dhia-Allah
July, 2014
The world has a new poster boy in al-Baghdadi. Some naive Muslims will be taken in by his brandishing a kalishnakov instead of the sword but it is important to look deeper. Emotional outbursts are no substitute for clear analysis and understanding.
How to establish the Khilafahby Zafar Bangash
July, 2014
With the bursting of the takfiri group, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) on the scene and their declaration of the Khilafah, it is important to understand this phenomenon through the Seerah of the noble Messenger (saws).
Significance of Quds Day ralliesby Zafar Bangash
July, 2014
Every year, al-Quds rallies are held worldwide on the last Friday of Ramadan. They are important because they remind the Muslims as well as non-Muslims that the first qibla of Muslims remains under alien occupation. Its liberation is the responsibility of every Muslim.
News & Analysis
ISIS: have guns will fight, even in Saudi Arabia?by Zafar Bangash
July, 2014
The Saudis may have created a monster that is likely to bite them as well. Should the ISIS invade Saudi Arabia, it will be a fight of a lifetime. Muslims will have a ringside view of a blood-curdling duel between ideological twins.
İslamic Movement
Masjid al-Aqsa in Islamic historyby Zafar Bangash
July, 2014
Masjid al-Aqsa has a rich history. It is intimately linked with Prophetic history, not of one but numerous prophets. It was first built by the Prophet Ibrahim (as) years after he built the Ka'aba with his first son Ismail (as). Muslims have always been its true custodians despite illegal Zionist encroachments.

Obama's unfulfilled executive order on Gitmoby Tahir Mahmoud
July, 2014
Five years after promising to shut down the torture camp at the illegally-occupied Cuban island of Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), it remains open. In fact, there are plans to expand the gulag. The American regime acts as an outlaw.

Libya's 'elections' fail to attract voters
July, 2014
Parliamentary elections were held in Libya on June 25 but few people bothered to cast ballot. They had more weighty things on their mind: the growing security problem, lack of food and fuel and total chaos that has gripped the country since the US-Nato alliance "liberated" it from the clutches of Colonel Qaddafi.

El-Sisi's crimes in Egypt
July, 2014
General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, after declaring himself president through a farcical election in which less than 10 percent of the people bothered to vote, has intensified the reign of terror against enemies—real and perceived. The ever-pliant judges are with him.

Advocates for HIV/AIDS awareness start conversation in Baker appearance
Advocates for the prevention of HIV and AIDS opened on the Baker University Center Theatre floor to a conversation regarding stigma, honesty and emotional turmoil resulting from personal experience of the virus.
Tyler Helms was diagnosed with HIV in 2007 and spoke Tuesday about the consequences of having unprotected sex, the impact of the disease and how he coped with it.
As part of HIV/AIDS Awareness Week on the Athens Campus, addressing the ignorance surrounding the virus is an important issue, said Terry Koons, Associate Director of Campus Involvement.
"We encourage students to get tested for HIV/AIDS," said Koons. "Students this Thursday can get either an anonymous or a confidential testing for the virus. We are trying to have safer sex options open for students on campus."
Confidential testing means that an individual will have the diagnosis associated with his or her name and that the health care provider and insurance company might have access to the records.
Anonymous testing means that the individual will get assigned a number and once diagnosed, no one other than the individual will know the results. The individual's name will not be associated with the results of testing.
It is the individual's choice whether or not he or she wants to become sexually active. However, the importance of getting tested is still crucial, said Lauren Jensen, a senior studying health services administration and an intern for the Department of Health Promotion.
"It's important to know your status," Jensen said. "This week we have a discussion panel, and discuss methods in having protective sex."
The stigma of HIV/AIDS resulted in both negative and positive experiences after becoming open about his diagnosis, said Helms.
"It changes perspective. If we were all more honest with each other you'll find someone who is similar to you," he said. "However seeing someone you cared about not able to handle the reality you're living, and not making an effort to be a part of my life is very hurtful. That's why it's important to initiate a conversation."
Helms hopes that having discussions about getting tested for HIV/AIDS in relationships will provide a more understanding environment for people to be open about being diagnosed.
Helm's speech about HIV/AIDS was important to hear, said Kyerra Carter a senior studying sport management.
"If you avoid talking about it, then it doesn't exist anymore," Carter said. "I thought Tyler was honest and open and I really liked him a lot."
As for telling a partner about HIV/AIDS there is no perfect time, said Helms.
"If you can't talk about it, think about the relationship," he said. "It might just be a hook up and not the intimacy you're looking for."

Transcript Staff
The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Sonia Gensler remembers winning first place in the Oklahoma Writers' Federation annual contest — it was almost as exciting as receiving the Oklahoma Book Award in the juvenile category for "The Revenant" (Knopf , 2011).
Entering the contest was a significant early step of her writer's journey.
"I didn't win anything the first couple of years I entered, but the contest helped me take my writing more seriously. It gave me a deadline and a tangible goal for revision that was a little less daunting than submitting to an agent or editor," Gensler said.
Aside from the boost to her ego and feedback from Oklahoma Writers Federation, Incorporated (OWFI) contest judges, winning the contest also gave her an award to mention in query letters to agents.
"I won the young adult fiction category in 2008, and within the year I had an agent for that manuscript. Sadly, it didn't sell (to a publisher), but my next manuscript did," Gensler said.
That next manuscript became "The Revenant." In addition to the Oklahoma Book Award, it also was named on the ABC New Voices Extended List in 2011 and won the Parent's Choice Silver Award in 2012. Gensler's next book , "The Dark Between," is due out from Knopf in 2013.
In the past, all entries have been submitted by mail, but this year, entrants will have the option of submitting their manuscripts electronically. Gensler said this change reflects a shift in the publishing industry in recent years.
The OWFI contest is open and entries will be accepted until Feb. 1. Categories include all genres of fiction, for children and adult readers, as well as non-fiction, poetry and screenwriting. Awards are announced at the annual OWFI conference, set for May 2-4 at the Embassy Suites in Norman.

All residential students are required to sign a Housing Contract which provides general
policies and regulations for students living in college-owned housing. Students need to adhere to other disseminated college community standards and policies as well. Having a housing contract allows you, as a resident, to be informed of all of your rights and responsibilities. It is important that you read over your entire housing contract prior to signing it.
A housing contract is issued for one academic year (two semesters). You or the College can cancel your agreement. You may cancel your housing agreement by submitting a
cancellation form or written statement to the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Refer to your agreement or contact the Office of
Residence Life and Housing for information regarding cancellation fees. Cancelling your
housing contract does not cancel your meal agreement.
You agree to pay to the Business Office the published Agreement rate for your housing
according to the Business Office's schedule. Failure to make required payments does
not relieve you of the obligations and duties of the agreement. You are also subject to the
Business Office's late payment fees for past due balances on your account, including
housing and any related housing charges.
For more information about the housing sign-up process for continuing students please follow the above link

RC - Well done an a great run yesterday.
GBM - I don't know who's more nervous about your sub 3 attempt in Amsterdam on Sunday, me or you! Good luck.
The person I'm about to talk about never comes on the thread but she's a very good friend of mine and a fellow Stockport Harrier to us all. She doesn't even know I'm doing this and when she finds out she'll probably be hugely embarrassed as she doesn't like a fuss. Anyway, I'm sure some of you already know that last year Jenny Knass was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and spent most of the year having intense chemotherapy treatment. It soon became apparent that running was out of the question so it was decided that friends and family, some of which have never owned a pair of trainers would each pick an event, a 5k, a triathlon, the 3 Peaks, to name a few, in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for The Christie Hospital. My event was supposed to be the Manchester Marathon but that was kiboshed due to injury and unless a miracle happens, there's no way I'll be squeezing one in before this Sunday so this is my appeal for sponsorship on Jenny's behalf. Like many of you on here she's been training throughout the summer for an autumn marathon and is off to Amsterdam on Saturday to run in the marathon on Sunday. Since August last year over £13,000 has been raised and as Jenny's marathon is the final challenge we're hoping that we might hit the £13,500 target. I realise none of you really know Jenny so there's no pressure but I just wanted to let you have the opportunity to contribute just in case. Any donatations will be hugely appreciated by her family and friends as The Christie has been fantastic. I've attached a link to 'The Trotters' Just Giving page below along with a link to the spreadsheet detailing who's been involved and in what event (s).
Thank you.
NI- Yes! Saturday May 18th, entries don't open til January but it fills fairly fast these days. I am sure clairster or I will remind you nearer the time
Looking forward to seeing 'Fast Jenny K' finish not far in front of GBM Sunday or I will be worried!
NI - that sounds like you're entering 2 marathons??
White Peak is a really nice - but yes it gets full immediately.
NI, you've said those forbidden words again
Stop talking about Manchester Marathon...I said I wasn't doing it but all this talk is starting to make me think twice about it.
Nice post JS. I see Jenny quite often running around the Heatons. GBM, she will more than likely run sub 3 unless she is "using it as a training run". I think you should sponsor her for £10 every minute she beats you by.
BHB--Thanks for dominating me for that deal! Last time i spoke to Jenny (or was it Dave Turnbull?) she was considering 2.50 ish. So if she does that and i have a bad race/blow up, erm, i mean 'i decide part way through to use it as a training run' then that could be costly. And now you've made me look like a right tight git for worrying about how many hundreds of pounds i might have to sponsor a very worthy cause! Thanks!
JS--I wasn't nervous but i am now that i know other people are nervous for me!
GBM, "thanks for dominating me..." stop giving away our little secrets.
good luck amsterdammers esp GBM x
Ni - lol, this is one time I may actually beat you..am on 66 WP is still the best and the half fills very quickly..the full less rapidly but mort and I get invited to enter..does that make us elite?
mort - I am glad to hear that you now look like a proper runner I will almost certainly be entering Village Bakery: so much better than 4 Villages
I have developed a touch of plantar fasciitis, which I am blaming on the unaccustomed number of flat tarmac miles I have done recently, training for Preston 10M
however, it didn't stop me taking yesterday off work and doing 9 hours out in the Lakes
DTS-were you swimming?
JS- Donated but my message didn't appear, please wish her all my best.
I started feeling a bit rough yesterday afternoon, felt absolutely drained on a 5 miler yesterday evening, felt really light-headed afterwards and still feel a bit rubbish this morning. I can't decide whether the virus has got a second wind or if i've picked up another one. But its only Weds morning and Sunday morning is ages away! Luton Marathon, 18th Nov! Hmmmmmm!
Jonah8--I will see how i feel tomorrow and let you know whether i will be at the track.
GBM-give your body a rest, the next 3 days aren't going to make that much difference, as you'll be running at a set pace, you don't need to "sharpen up", you'll be there on the start line, you might feel a bit lethargic at the start but you'll be fine once you get into it, thank goodness, i got rid of that virus
GBM - TB is right, whatever training you do this week will not have any bearing on Sunday.
I've got that paper coverall for you if you still want it.
GBM - Banish those negative thoughts, YOU WILL BE FINE!

On my Facebook page (facebook.com/TonyHarmerTraining) today I've posted a really short – and silent – video that demonstrates in just a few easy steps how to use Photoshop's Colour Range feature. The what? The Colour Range feature – it's been there for absolutely ages and before you go reaching for the Magic Wand give this a go – you might be really surprised at the results!
I've heard Lynda.com's Michael Ninness call the Magic Wand the Tragic Wand – I don't think that's because of the tool itself, but more around the efforts and coping strategies employed by those trying to make it work for them against the odds, when there are features like Colour Range that may be able to achieve what they're after in a fraction of the time.

Located only minutes from Olympic Whiteface Mountain! Available year round, Red Spruce Lodge is within an easy drive to Lake Placid, Lake Champlain and Montreal. Local ferries also provide easy access to Burlington, Vt. and beyond. Your escape begins with our comfortable, spacious and carefully furnished four bedroom lodge. New and luxurious bedding provides the rest you crave and will recharge you for memorable days in the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains. Each bedroom is decorated and furnished with your comfort in mind. The great room, kitchen, den and three bathrooms offer creature comforts inside, while the Adirondack deck and woodlands beckon you outdoors.
Year round activities include: fishing, boating, biking, hiking, horseback riding, and a wide array of alpine activities. Nestled on two acres of private property, Red Spruce is surrounded by Adirondack forest. Guest privileges include access to tennis courts, 6 miles of hiking trails, and a pond.
Guest Comments: An absolutely outstanding accommodation. We're minutes from fishing and we'll be back for skiing in the winter.'
'Went wake-boarding in Lake Placid, hiking in the mountains and saw so much wildlife. This will be a memorable vacation because we were relaxed at the Red Spruce and could spend time as a family. Thank-You!'
'Glenn!! We just finished unpacking the car and we are in heaven!!! This place is fantastic, we absolutely love it! '
'Very quiet and peaceful in your Adirondack woods location. We enjoyed snowmobiling, skiing and skating while we were here. Reserve this date for next year because we'll be back'
"We rented during the Iron Man competition and it was everything we expected and more."
"This was really a nature experience. Our first thought was, where are the people? But we soon began to enjoy the serenity of the trees, the deer, and all of nature around us.
More Guest Comments: "We never got a chance to use the television because there was so much to do. We walked every morning and saw the deer. During our stay we visited Lake Placid, went Kayaking in Taylor Pond and visited Fort Ticonderoga. In the evening we spent hours in the screened porch. Is there as much to do in the Winter?
We bought this home because we vacationed in this area for years and realized that if you like to hike, kayak or bike in the summer and ski or snowmobile in the winter this is where you need to be. We also wanted a home that was secluded yet offered all the amenities of a modern house.
A unique blend of town and country in Jay, N.Y., Red Spruce Lodge provides peace and serenity reminiscent of an age long ago. Surrounded by the beauty and wilderness of Adirondack Park, year round activities include: fishing, boating, biking, hiking, horseback riding, and a wide array of alpine activities. Nestled on two acres of private property, Red Spruce is surrounded by Adirondack forest. Red Spruce Lodge guest privileges include access to tennis courts, 6 miles of private hiking/cross country trails, and a nearby pond for a mellow paddle or some serious bird watching! Some prefer to sit on the banks and chat or watch the water roll by. Going to a country store, village library or for a country breakfast at a nearby restaurant brings back the joys of a time gone by in most places but remains in the Forever Wild Adirondacks. Swimming, fishing and kayaking are just a few ways to enjoy the beautiful Ausable River. Lake Placid Village is just 20 beautiful minutes away.
Other Activities: Snowmobiling

Quality program for local Restaurants
One of the tasks of Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) is to assure the quality of products and services provided by our tourism industry. CTB strives to achieve this target among others by stimulating industry stakeholders to meet quality standards. In this context CTB has approached ICC, to together develop a quality program for restaurants.
The quality program developed is designed, based on what customers (and in particular tourists) generally find important. The aim of the program is to better satisfy customers' needs and to offer them better customer experiences. In this program the focus is on hygiene and quality services, qualities that are objectively measurable and important to all customers.
The program also addresses two other qualities: social corporate responsibility, and employee and customer safety. These qualities show whether a company cares about and invests in the safety and wellbeing of its customers, staff and environment.
Below you can find some additional information.

Shop Talk
Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Big gains for Big Lots and Wal-Mart
Low price retailers appear to be in. The top performing stock in the first quarter among components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, through Friday, was Wal-Mart, with a 9.66 percent gain — one of only five stocks up in the index.
And in a much wider group, Big Lots is the big winner in the S&P 500 with a 40.25 percent gain in through Friday. The shares of the company, which specializes in the sale of excess inventory, posted a 33 percent increase in March alone.
As the U.S. economy struggles, lower-priced retailers like Wal-Mart and Big Lots have benefited from consumers trading down.
Warehouse clubs like Costco and BJ's have also been helped by customers looking for bargains on food and fuel.
So as the economy worsens, Wal-Mart shareholders gain. Through Friday, Wal-Mart investors are collectively $18.4 billion richer this quarter, the biggest quarterly increase in Wal-Mart's market cap in four years.

Covering everything from planning and installation, through configuration and troubleshooting, there's no better way to get familar with UAG and what it can do. Myself and (co-author) Ran worked for many months compiling our knowledge into this guide, which is written mostly for administrators new to the world of UAG. With both of us experienced both in customer support, training and IT, this book is guaranteed to be the best resource, both from a technical point of view, and readability, making reading it both useful and fun!"
What made you want to write this book?
"Despite its age, many of UAG's abilities have never been documented, and very few people out there know it well. Customers, however, have been clawing for more information about working with this clever and versatile product, and as Support Engineers, Ran and myself have known all too well what kind of demand there is for this compilation of information. When Packt expressed interest in publishing this book, we both jumped at this opportunity, and the reception by customers has shown us what a great decision it has been!"
What benefits do you think your Microsoft book can offer the reader?
"As I said earlier, many of the things UAG can do, and how it does them have never been documented. The documentation that is available, via Microsoft's TechNet is extensive, but is mostly designed as a reference, and so people who have never used UAG found it hard to follow. This often forces companies who purchased UAG to spend large amounts of money on Consultants, or on support cases with Microsoft. With this book, a lot of this can be saved. The book's 350+ pages describe the product and its features clearly, and progressively, so the reader can start on page 1 without even knowing what UAG is. As the administrator reads through the book, the topics advance gradually, culminating with DirectAccess, considered by many to be one of the most complex technologies out there. With this approach, the administrator can finish the book and possess advanced understanding and knowledge of the product, and ready to deploy it fully and take advantage of all its abilities."

ROCKPORT — Rockporters still hungry for a grocery store have yet to get an answer to their prayers.
But prospective owners looking to open a new independent pharmacy are hoping town officials and residents will see their project as filling at least part of what the doctor ordered for this seaside town.
Longtime Bliue Gate Gardens owners of the family business John and Diane Wonson, have agreed to sell their florist and tree nursery business on Main Street so Sandy Bay Apothecary can construct a new pharmacy on the property.
Rockport residents Amber and Nenad Bazdar have plans to buy out and then construct a new pharmacy, but they need approval from the Board of Appeals beforehand because the site is in a residential neighborhood.
The Wonsons sought and won similar approvals years ago. The board is set to take up the plans at their meeting on June 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rockport Public Library.
Amber Bazdar said the pharmacy will be made with the town's intentions in mind; plans call for the pharmacy to be built to look like a house.
"We're trying to take the corporation out of the pharmacy," Amber said. Nenad Bazdar worked previously at the Rite Aide in Rockport for about seven years.
While the pharmacy will sell perishable and non-perishable foods, it will not constitute as a grocery store, so it will not be selling any beer or wine under a newly approved town bylaw allowing such sales in a prospective grocery store, Amber said. The Bazdars will also be selling canes, wheelchairs, walkers, and other medical related equipment.
The pharmacy will measure 2,000 square feet on the first floor, the storefront, while the second floor which will serve as storage and office space will be about 1,000 square feet. The store would cover about three quarters of an acre, should the building be constructed.

Catholic bishops "will be held accountable" for failing to protect children from sexual abuse, Pope Francis said Monday, his strongest acknowledgment yet of what abuse victims have been saying for decades: that the cover-ups have often been as bad as the crimes.
But without strong action to back up those words, such groups are likely to view Francis' comments as little more than lip service. Vatican officials have so far been reluctant to take action against bishops accused of concealing abuse.
In a homily given during a private Mass with six victims of church sexual abuse, Francis apologized for the abuse and asked for forgiveness.
"I beg your forgiveness, too, for the sins of omission on the part of Church leaders who did not respond adequately to reports of abuse made by family members, as well as by abuse victims themselves," Francis said in the homily, according to a text of the statement provided by the Vatican.
"This led to even greater suffering on the part of those who were abused and it endangered other minors who were at risk," he said.
In his homily, Francis said that "all bishops must carry out their pastoral ministry with the utmost care in order to help foster the protection of minors, and they will be held accountable."
Despite the strong words, a victims advocacy group, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said Monday's session failed to advance the cause of preventing molestation by priests, arguing that "no child on earth is safer today because of this meeting."
"Let's not mistake this meeting today for real action," SNAP President Barbara Blaine told CNN. "The meeting today will not make children safer."
"I think that Pope Francis has yet to take strong action that will protect children and he could do that by firing the bishops who have been complicit and who are transferring predators," she said.
Francis has called for "zero tolerance" of sexual abuse by clerics, and last week a Vatican tribunal defrocked Polish Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski after finding him guilty of sexual abuse of minors.
CNN religion commentator Rev. Edward Beck said that was a sign of change.
"So what people have been calling for with regards to the hierarchy needing to accept responsibility and action be taken against them has already begun to happen," he said.
Blaine rejected the notion Wesolowski's defrocking was a major shift, saying church officials had covered up for him in the past and have failed to do enough to facilitate his prosecution in the Dominican Republic, where at least some of the abuse was alleged to have occurred.
Monday's meeting between Francis and the six victims of church sexual abuse was not the first such meeting between a pontiff and survivors, but it was the first of Francis' papacy.
It involved three men and three women from Britain, Ireland and Germany who met privately with Francis for about 30 minutes in his private residence at Casa Santa Marca, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters.
The abuse survivors also celebrated Mass with Francis.
Lombardi said the victims emerged from the meeting moved by what he described as a "profound spiritual encounter and dialogue."
"If you had seen the people coming out of the meeting, it would have been totally, absolutely clear that it was not a publicity stunt," Lombardi said, reacting to a statement last month by SNAP calling the meeting "self-serving."
"The most important thing the Pope hopes to come out of this occasion, is that the victims themselves felt welcomed and listened to," Lombardi said.
In his homily, Francis acknowledged that sexual abuse by priests has had profound consequences on victims.

Original recipe yields 1 - 9x5 inch loaf
- Place dates in a small bowl with boiling water and baking soda. Let stand until cooled. Melt chocolate chips with margarine in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave. Stir frequently until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg and stir in sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir in the melted chocolate and date mixtures. Combine the flour and baking powder, and stir into the date mixture until just blended. Scrape into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Let stand for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Wrap in aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight, as the loaf will cut better on the second day.

I made this as a thank you to an office mate. They loved it. He said at Thanksgiving it was the first thing to be eaten. I am making it for all of my Christmas baskets.
This loaf uses a very unfamiliar preparation technique so I was concerned about my chances of success with it. It turned out just ok. My main criticism would be that isn't as moist as some loaves I've made and the top turns out flat and a little crunchy rather than rounded and moist the way a lot of fruit breads do. It is good and chocolatey. I tasted it as soon as it was completely cooled and it was pretty good, but even with tight wrapping it seemed dry the next day. The only modification I made to the recipe was to substitute dried montmorency cherries for the dates... I was actually looking for a recipe to use the cherries up when I came across this one. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. I still have no clue why the fruit is soaked with baking soda or why you leave it to stand 20 minutes before baking and I really don't know if those steps could be modified to the better.
I followed the recipe exactly as is, and it was FABULOUS. Rich and chocolatey!!

The Eagles are off to a hot start at Lincoln Financial Field. On the Eagles first drive, they dialed up a bomb to Riley Cooper, with Vince Young once again showcasing his cannon and winning ability. Cooper reeled in a 58-yarder that set up a LeSean McCoy rushing touchdown. Despite not having Michael Vick, the Eagles have been going to the air to expose the weak New England secondary. It is a secondary that has been plagued by injury and a lack of talent.
Philadelphia is using their weapons to attack mismatches in the secondary with the hope that it results in points. The Eagles will need to outscore the Patriots, because they are such an offensive powerhouse. With plays like this to Riley Cooper, the Eagles will have a great chance for victory. They just need to continue to generate big plays in the passing game.
The Eagles are now holding a 10-7 lead going into the 2nd quarter.

Thinking on your feet—it's something the members of DECA chapter will be doing plenty of Tuesday at the Mansfield Holiday Inn as they take part in a District competition.
In addition to a written test, will be asked to role play with a judge and solve a business problem (like employee theft) or come up with a marketing strategy (like how to maximize sales on a tax-free weekend). The students—some participating in pairs, others alone—are given mere minutes to come up with a solution and present their idea.
"It's the closest thing to actually pitching something to a boss," junior said.
Beyond just building job and business related techniques, the role play helps students practice basic interview skills, like keeping eye contact, junior Brett Hoffman said.
Of the 82 members in the Stoughton High chapter, 71 will be competing at districts, advisor Eddie Rodrigues, a business/information technology teacher at SHS, said.
DECA, a business and marketing education program, has been offered as an extra-curricular at SHS since the 2005-2006 school year. It offers students the chance to develop leadership skills, senior Nick Aliquo said, and networking skills, according to senior Ross Andler.
DECA "makes you a more well-rounded person," Rodrigues said.
"They get good experience how to interview for a job and how to [perform while] being put on the spot."
Stoughton High sent less than 40 to the first district competition in the '05-'06 school year, the SHS Knight reported. Nearly double that will compete this year. Last school year, SHS DECA had 60 members, and despite losing many to graduation, the group grew by more than 20 in 2011-2012.
DECA members, past and present, credit Rodrigues, who is in his second year advising, for the growth in numbers and success of the program.
"Before he became the head of the program, our DECA chapter lacked in numbers and significance," (SHS '11) wrote in an email. "In his first year alone, we were able to send a multitude of students to compete at the national level as well as have two Stoughton chapter members be elected as state officers, an honor that rarely occurs."
"As a teacher and a coach, he is able to relate to his students and that is what makes him so likable. He puts a lot of time and effort into the school," Kenney continued.
"Mr. Rodrigues helped transform DECA to the super power it is," (SHS '11) added in an email. "He helped us rally together a large group of people to travel to districts and an impressive percentage continued onto states. Although Mr. Rodrigues had not fully experienced DECA as an advisor before, he learned all of the tricks and knowledge involved with the program.
"His enthusiasm and interest in the program inspired me personally and I assume everyone else to work harder in our categories and make him proud as well as making ourselves proud. I am very proud of what the Stoughton High DECA program has become and I know that a lot of this can be attributed to Mr. Rodrigues."
Current senior Valerie Szeto said, "I could never thank him enough for the countless hours of dedication and hard work he has put into the program. From fundraising to the actual competition, he is always on top of things and is willing to help anyone who asks."
Rodrigues, a , gives the credit to the students.
"The kids I have are great kids. It's more them; it's very student driven," he said.
Kenney, Zuk and Szeto were among eight SHS students who attended an , which is a mixture of competition and career development, in Orlando last spring. Then senior (SHS '11) competed in Principles of Hospitality and Tourism at the conference, finishing 20 out of more than 300.
Stoughton High will be attending a similar conference in Utah later this school year.
Szeto and Aliquo also serve as Massachusetts DECA state officers this year, giving Stoughton two of eight state representatives.
Both went through a rigorous process to become state officers, passing a test, an interview and delivering stump speeches in front of thousands of Massachusetts DECA members at the state DECA convention.
In addition to competitions, the SHS chapter also does community outreach and runs a school store.
Current and former DECA members speak to how the organization enhanced their high school experience.
"I don't know that I would do without DECA," Szeto said.
"In terms of the impact DECA had on my high school career, words can barely describe it," Zuk added in an email.
"Over the course of three years, I gained a significant amount of confidence and learned how to speak in public clearly and 'properly.' I am so grateful for the experience and newly acquired knowledge that will help me in the future on job interviews and I am convinced it actually helped me with the confidence needed for ."
"The great thing about DECA is that its competitions are based on solving current, realistic problems in business," Kenney wrote in an email. "It allows a student to experiment with possible ideas for their future as well as provide opportunity. It's a great way to meet people and have fun. I was able to go to Orlando with some of my friends to compete nationally."
