Giving thanks and Advent links
We celebrated Thanksgiving at Nana and Pop's this year and on the way, I set my phone's timer for five minutes and asked the kids to blurt out anything and everything they were thankful for and I then listed them in the exact order they were shouted out and also did not edit their contributions (e.g., Mary Elizabeth's blessing of "roasted beef" was jotted down just as she said it).

Time's up!
Once at Nana and Pop's we were not only treated to the feast of feasts, but Madeline had written a Thanksgiving play and the kids performed it for us. The red wagon is the Mayflower. Madeline is Squanto. Thomas and Mary Elizabeth are pilgrims, and Rachel served as the narrator.
Now it's time to start thinking about Advent. I have a speech at a parish not too far from my home on Sunday where I'll talk a bit about cultivating a peaceful, joyful heart during a season that can easily become a path to burnout for a multitasking control freak like myself. Your life this Advent and always should be full, not just busy. Just because our culture hypes jam-packed schedules as the norm doesn't mean we have to subscribe to it. My running injury (still not anywhere close to running again) has forced me to slow down not just on the pavement and treadmill but in life as well. I'm getting more sleep these days and really focused on embracing simplicity. At its heart, simplicity really means less of us and more of Him. It can also mean staying in your PJs all day (I'm typing this in my pajamas; no Black Friday madness for me.)
We don't need to over-schedule our kids now or ever. Madeline really wanted to try basketball this winter, but we have a brief respite from soccer and I didn't want to fill it with more practices. If she's meant to be in the WNBA someday, she'll discover that talent soon enough. For now, I am drawing my family near, pulling out our favorite Advent books, and trying to decide what Advent traditions we will embrace this year. I've included a few links from the archives that include all sorts of ideas for bringing this season alive for little ones. BONUS: You'll get to see the kids when they were wee ones. Happy clicking!

Race Recap: Athens Half
This isn't going to be a lengthy recap or review of Sunday's Half. It's more of an ode to my body for taking me across that finish line and allowing the strong spirit within me to give me a 1:44 finish time even when my injured leg/bum (dealing with piriformis syndrome and possible minor hamstring strain) was hollering at me to just please stop.
At mile 10, I knew for certain that my sciatica nerve is involved as the physical therapist and some other medical folks (and fellow runners) suspected. My entire left leg started to feel numb from right below my butt cheek (sorry, no other way to explain it) all the way down to my calf. The left side of my rear hurt, too, and was angry at me for most of the race. But I kept on going on and weirdly enough I couldn't stop smiling.
There were four very specific moments when I found the strength to push harder. One was when I saw my husband, four kiddos, and my dad (my mom was on her way back from a pilgrimage to Medjugore; she said Mary would be running with me). They were cheering me on near mile 4. They were also at the finish line, but I missed them. I was too busy urging my heavy legs to keep moving. In my previous half and in most past races from my long-ago running life, I could count on a strong finish. But not yesterday. I definitely felt depleted at the end, but that's okay. About three weeks ago I thought I'd have to sit out the entire racing season. And I can still walk today. Sitting is another story. Ouch! It hurts.
Later around mile 7 or so, I saw a young man cheering us on from a wheelchair. I don't mean to go all banal on you, but I thought to myself, "He can't even walk and here I am running. I am so stinkin' blessed. I'll run for him."
Then at that mile 10 marker when the weird tingly, numbness started and my leg felt like it might just give out under my weight, I thought of two very important people in my life. First, my mom with her buttery blond hair and her infections, slightly off-kilter smile popped in to my mind. Yes, she's had horrible sciatica, too, where it hurt to sit all of the time (mine is fortunately caused by muscle inflammation rather than a back problem). An invasive back surgery helped, but it's returning again. Then there's the atypical trigeminal neuralgia (AKA the suicide disease). Every single day her face feels like it's on fire, but she keeps smiling, hoping, and looking beyond herself to minister to others – so much so that you forget that she lives with chronic pain.
Next, I thought of my little brother, who has constantly teased me in my life for not being much of an athlete in a very affectionate way (he got all the natural talent; I just have the grit). For the record, he did text me a congratulatory, post-race note that referred to me as his "athlete sister," and I felt like I'd finally arrived. Well, he's had a medical ailment that's required two surgeries, one of them recently. Two days after his surgery he landed himself in the ER because a blood vessel had broken. He lost a pint of blood. I called him and as soon as he answered, I started to cry. I know, I know – not too cool to be calling to offer support and to just start losing it. He immediately began to comfort me and said he was going to be just fine. He is so strong. Ironically, his injury also renders his bum painful, so we've been making a lot of pain in the you-know-what jokes lately. In fact, the Athens race's slogan is "Run Your Ath Off." Well, I was worried there for a minute that I might literally do just that!
The final moment I urged my body on was when I saw a great, past professor of mine near the end of the race. I'd been contemplating walking, fearful that I might trip because I was losing feeling in my left leg. Well, she called me out by name, and I knew I had what it takes to go all the way. Later she said I didn't look like I was hurting and that I had a big smile on my face.
There was a lot of smiling today. (There were plenty of grimaces, too. Trust me.)
And I was most definitely not smiling so much after the race when I plunged into an ice bath per medical advice. This has been shown to reduce inflammation and help with recovery. It's also been shown to turn your lips a nice shade of Smurf blue and be more painful than actually running a whole lot of miles in a row.
But there were two reasons I subjected myself to this form of torture (next up was foam rolling with this, which definitely falls in to the hurts-so-good category).
#1 I want to show my body a little TLC. I get frustrated that I've been more injury-prone lately, or I can't go as quickly as I want and believe I have the potential to do, but I refuse to fall in to the trap I once did of punishing my body or using racing as another thing to control or to serve as a measure of my worth. Crazy lady that I am I'm tempted to lace up my running shoes tomorrow and hit the pavement, but I'm going to take it easy and see what the PT says on Wednesday. I'm going to stretch and ice a whole lot and work on my core. I'm going to focus on being kind to my body. I do have lofty goals for myself. I've never really engaged in smart, purposeful training. I just run a decent amount of miles at a conversational pace but after today, I have this drive to marble in some speed workouts and more challenging runs into my workout when my body is ready. Technically, with this injury I'm supposed to run slowly and avoid hills. Today was a fairly hilly course, so I need to see how I feel in a few days. I'm not going to get all futuristic (or fatalistic, for that matter) like I frequently do. First things first. I need to heal. I need to pamper this tired, aching leg and bum of mine.
#2 I am in this for the long haul. I want to be running for a really, really long time. I can't tell you how much it's lifted my mood and at a time when I wasn't even aware that my spirits needed a little lift. It can be very spiritual, too. I didn't have a profound "religious experience" today, but I did see a t-shirt that said "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me," and that definitely became one of my mantras (so did: "You've given birth naturally four times, and this is easier than labor," and "The faster you run, the sooner you'll be finished."). I did have some pretty moving moments during my first half last spring, and I definitely did during a marathon I ran way back when.
Running has also been a way to connect in a very meaningful way with other people. It has been so much better for me than just hanging out in Blogland. I want to be meeting new runners and, of course, gathering my peeps together for years to come. I've joked about making us over-the-hill running shirts one of these days, and I can just see us plodding along when our kids are all grown up. For today I want to inspire my kids to be healthy and to love and respect their bodies, and to also use them to give glory to God. Someday I want to inspire my grandchildren.
Although I would have loved to have been off having an alcoholic beverage or at least gorging on a big plate of delicious food with friends during one of the many post-race celebratory gatherings, for these two very important reasons I jumped in to ice cold water instead. And if I'm completely honest, I may have an inner sadist.
Before morphing into an ice cube, it was good to be with my family and to eat my husband's delicious omelet that was studded with onion and jalapeño bits and filled with cheese. Usually, we have other veggies on hand like bell peppers and spinach, but our cupboards are bare right now. I couldn't believe how good it tasted just with the spicy bits. Maybe I was just really hungry after burning roughly 1,300 calories.
My sweet 8-year-old Madeline is a very loyal fan and said encouraging things all day. Both she and 6-year-old Rachel picked flowers for me and offered them as gifts. They were worth more than any medal, although the medal for this race was gorgeous. We're thinking of running a Thanksgiving fun run together. Rachel, in particular, seems to have caught Mommy's running bug.
I know I started this blog as a mom blog or really just a writing outlet for me. Then it became a place to share my faith (or lack thereof), work out my mothering dilemmas, post only the most flattering pictures of my precious progeny, and hopefully along the way it served as a way to encourage other moms or at least to let them know they're not the only ones who hide in the bathroom for some alone time. Eventually, I admit that it became a source of angst. I've found some balance now even if I've lost a big chunk of readership and am likely boring a lot of my readers with my reflections on running. But all along, I've always tried to offer an authentic glimpse into my life and into me. That hasn't changed and never will. I'm not sure where I'm headed or what I'll be writing about next week, two months from now, or three years from now. As one of my running peeps texted post-race, it's great to share this one experience, but what's greater is to share the everyday moments. She wrote, "It's the journey, not an event…" Thanks for coming along on this zigzagging journey with me.
I thanked my past professor for her awesome encouragement and how it made a big difference for me and that the spectators really made the event. This is so true. It's the people who support us along our journey who really deserve the medals. The husband who makes me an omelet on my long run days to refuel me. It's the kids who scream, "Go, Mommy!" and brave the cold, fall morning for me. It's the grandparents and the little brother who listen to my whining when I've had a setback. It's the friends who send me encouraging texts, emails, or messages via this blog. It's all of you who have read through this long-winded, meandering post that I claimed in the very first sentence was not going to be long (ha!). Thanks for cheering me on and sticking with me.
I feel very, very blessed right about now.
Oh, and I just have to give a shout out to my running peeps. One was MIA because she had a wedding, but the other two rocked the half! R (on the far right in the picture above) had a finish time of 1:39 and placed 9th in her age group. L (in the middle) was shooting to come in under two hours. She ran the half last time and has said it was a very difficult experience, but she came back and she was amazing! She finished smiling today with a time of 1:53. You go, girls!!!
Next up, the Kiawah Half! I'm very excited about this because my family is sharing a house with one of my besties and her family for the whole weekend.
I'll end with a random shot of my littles that just makes me smile because it captures one of those candid, unplanned moments where my kids are just being kids, and Thomas is in his superhero stance ready to take on the world.
(We went to the fair on Saturday night, and I had the worst possible pre-race meal ever – funnel cake and some popcorn – so I'm thinking aside from more mindful training, I may need to work on my sports nutrition!)
7 Quick Takes: The Chores, Snake Stew, & More Edition
So I witnessed something strange the other day. I was unloading groceries from our minivan when a pickup truck came roaring down the street. Three large flags – including a rebel flag – were proudly pitched int the truck bed and were flailing in the wind. The tricked-out truck screeched to a stop in front of our neighbor's house. I watched a young man in a t-shirt with its sleeves torn off step out of his vehicle and amble over to our neighbor's yard. He crouched down and when he straightened back up, he had a huge, black snake in his hand. I figured he was going to toss it somewhere away from the road since it was likely a king snake or some other harmless species. But, no, he walked over to his truck, held it up, examined it, and then climbed into the cabin along with his new friend.
I've been wondering ever since if this hapless reptile was about to be his new pet or his dinner's main dish.
I need some advice. I really don't know how to do the whole chore thing with my children. I've been struggling in this department for some time now and have been wondering if I need charts or something to get all of us more organized and in more of a routine when it comes to keeping home.
My kids (other than my hippie 3-year-old and the baby, of course) are fairly good at cleaning up their toys, but they constantly forget to make their beds and I haven't been terribly good at establishing other habits like sweeping after meals, etc. I honestly don't know where to start, and sometimes it's just easier to do it myself. However, each child is a part of this family and needs to have an age-appropriate way to contribute to the household. I don't stand by this belief simply because "many hands make light work," but because giving children responsibilities as well as imparting the confidence in them to uphold these responsibilities helps build character.
Long story not-so-short, I want mandatory chores to be a routine element in our days, but I don't know if we need charts or what a realistic expectation for a 7-year-old might be. My husband thinks my oldest should be responsible for vacuuming the entire main level of the house every day. That seems a little much to me, but sweeping the kitchen after each meal, making her bed, and helping to set and clear the table seems reasonable. Your thoughts? How do you make daily chores become more habitual? Do you use chore charts with your younger children – or even your older children just to keep them on track and organized?
A Wicker version of QTs would not be replete without me sharing something funny one of my kids said. We were discussing the seven corporal works of mercy – that is, seven ways to minister to the bodily needs of our fellow human beings like clothe the naked and feed the hungry. My 7-year-old and 4-year-old both wanted to recite them by memory. After they did so, Mary Elizabeth, 3, said she wanted to do it, too.
"Okay, baby, go ahead," I said.
"Um," she said, her green eyes glinting with confidence. "Marry the dead."
All of us cracked up.
"You mean BURY the dead," her sisters corrected.
My sweet, girly-girl Mary Elizabeth, always the romantic.
I've said before I sometimes feel like a movie star. My oldest is the paparazzi, taking random photos of me when I'm engaged in ordinary tasks. And everyone wants to sleep with me – including our dog. Oh, and I've got my little entourage that follows me everywhere I go. Sometimes I just want to be alone. But other times, like the other day when I was primping and had two fawning admirers, I feel glamorous, adored, and grateful for my very loyal fan club.
I want to thank everyone for their support of my posts – especially this one – following the outrageous Time cover. I had no idea that what I wrote would go viral. Although I was very grateful something I wrote resonated with so many people and was equally grateful for some of the charitable discussions the post encouraged, it did become difficult for me to not be distracted by the hubbub – to remain unattached to it all and attached to my family. That said, I love my readers – new and old alike – and I cherish every word you write to me even when I'm unable to respond. So thank you for being here. Thank you for encouraging me. And thank you for sharing and letting me know when something I've written has touched you. And thank you for understanding when I don't personally respond to a note or comment you've gifted me with.
So long as I'm thanking folks for things, I want to tell you how much I appreciate you looking past the innumerable typos and blunders I seem to make in every single post these days. Sheesh. Sometimes I wonder if I this tired mush of a brain of mine has any business at all participating in weekly word slinging. If I can't put perfect, typo-free posts out there, then maybe I shouldn't write at all. I really have had these thoughts. And not just about blogging. But if my aim is perfection, then I might as well just stay in bed.
Which reminded me of what a friend of mine recently told me. She said God isn't waiting around to watch our fall. No, He doesn't scrutinize the falling at all. What He pays attention to is the rising.
Isn't that beautiful?
What are you going to do with your messy self? What do you do after you do what you promised you wouldn't do ever again or when you commit the same sin you've confessed repeatedly? Do you stay down? Do you stop trying? Or do you rise and try again and believe in God's goodness as well as your own?
Please join me in congratulating Bonnie of Learning to Be a Newlywed on the birth of her daughter, Teresa Marie. And while you're at it give this mama some major kudos. Her baby girl weighed in at 11 pounds 9.5 ounces and was delivered completely naturally. As Dwija Borobia proclaimed over on Twitter, Bonnie is the natural birth MASTAH!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Be safe.

While not "traditional", it is the "class act" of southern style chicken... An interesting variation calls for using evaporated milk... and spices could include Thai sweet chili dipping sauce as well as garam masala and other spices. It could be called southern Thai fried Chicken. Bonne Appetite Mark D., Penang, Malaysia
mmm, sooo good! i used half the salt and it turned out really well. very flavorful, but not too overpowering or spicy. buttermilk is a key for any good fried chicken marinade. i will definitely make this one again!
This recipe is delicious. We also cut down on the salt, and used chicken drummettes in a deep fryer. Everyone loved it as an appetizer.
I followed this recipe exactly - except that I cut the portions in half b/c I was making it for 2. I have to agree with the reviewer who said it was salty. I would cut the salt in half next time. We did enjoy the kick of the spices, but they were not overpowering. I am 7 months pregnant and was concerned that I might get indigestion if the chicken was too hot. It was perfect. We served this with curried cauliflower (my husband's recipe) and it was a perfect compliment. We'll make it again.
Excellent fried chicken with Indian spices that are incorporated in the marinade and in the flour coating. One of the best recipes I have ever made, simply devine.

Danica Patrick
The last thing Danica Patrick needed to see this afternoon at the Daytona Speedway was the 12 car crash that took place on the final lap of the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. The accident that took place included 12 cars and at least 28 NASCAR fans were injured when the debris flew threw the catch fence and into where spectators were watching the race. It was the catch fence that claimed the life of Patrick's fellow Indy car driver Dan Wheldon after he was caught up in a 15 car pile up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Danica took Wheldon's death rough, they were not only fellow drivers, they were friends. After seeing what happened at Daytona today, with just a few hours before the first women ever starts the Daytona 500 from the pole position, you just have to wonder what is going threw Patrick's mind. It wasn't that long ago when Wheldon lost his life and that is something that has to be etched into Patrick's mind. Unlike today's wreck at Daytona which t...

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Chicago Bears tight end Evan Rodriguez was reportedly arrested early Thursday morning in Miami.
According to CBS Miami, Rodriguez was charged with resisting an officer without violence and disorderly intoxication.
The Bears released a statement Thursday and said the team is "aware of the reports. We are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the situation."
Rodriguez had four catches for 21 yards in 12 games last season, his first with the Bears.

i am alt lit
'airplane food' by gabby gabby // nap, 2012
I usually judge poems by whether or not I would get a part of it tattooed on my body
I would get this line from 'Airplane Food' tattooed somewhere on my stomach, in bright red letters
I'm just going to swallow you whole, okay?
'Airplane Food' feels like one long poem, broken into 25 sections
the 25 poems aren't titled, they're numbered like chapters in a novel
and although the 'narrative' is severely jumbled and discrete, it keeps resurfacing through all the poems and holds them together
There is a 23-year-old male in California.
There is a 19-year-old female in Virginia.
'Airplane Food' is about a long distance relationship between these two people
long distance relationships, aka perpetually wanting something you can't have
I wouldn't get these lines tattooed on my body but I might turn them into image macros for my desktop background:
Last night I woke up from my sleep and you were the first
person I thought about.
I feel like I should be bitter.
Bury me in a hole in the bottom of the world and just watch the loose dirt rise
and fall. It's okay to laugh.
I want to ask you to unskillfully eat my heart with wooden chopsticks
but I don't know how to start that conversation.
the poems jump around from scene to scene and thought to thought
Gabby Gabby sitting in a movie theater with her boyfriend:
'an excuse to sit / quietly in the dark / …for at least 90 minutes'
Gabby Gabby doing homework in the library:
'I am silently having a nervous breakdown
while trying to run regression equations.'
Gabby Gabby on a train
Gabby Gabby at the doctor's office
Gabby Gabby walking around her new college campus
she seems mostly saddened and unimpressed with the world around her
she thinks a lot about people jumping off the Golden Gate bridge
this chapbook seems to straddle the fence between 'alt lit poetry' and 'real poetry'
feel like I could show this book to my old english professor and not feel 'embarassed'
and I could also loan it to one of my irl friends as proof that poetry isn't 'lame as shit'
from my POV, this book doesn't try to tell you much about the world at large, or how to live, or what is meaningful
it isn't a deeply intellectual book that you can puzzle over and think about for months on end
the 'voyeurism' aspect is minimal, it isn't full of juicy/gross/sexy Vice confessions
what this book does very well is create an atmospheric mood, and pierce you with it
Come hold my hand while I jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.
I will edge up against your body as people shout to us from their cars.
Through the wind it will sound like they are cheering us on.
When we hit the water the San Francisco
salt will rush up our noses on an inhale.
It's all tenderness and bruising.
This is the only thing I am actually looking forward to.
the writing is more sophisticated than a lot of 'alt lit poetry'
you can tell that Gabby Gabby spent a lot of time working on this and revising it, thinking it over
I'm very excited to see what she comes up with in the future
underestimate Gabby Gabby at your peril
after reading this book a couple times I listened to this song and thought about girls that I don't see anymore
I smoked a bowl and took a long walk
missing people that you like is shitty
passed a tattoo parlor and stared at it for a long time, but I'm broke

Maeklong Railway Market is a unique local fresh market.Just before the train arrives in the town, the market stallholders have to pull back their awnings and remove their produce from the tracks. They then have to repeat all of this when the train returns. Fortunately it is not a busy track. The train leaves four times and it arrives four times.
On the way, experience countryside and look for the windmills, this has long been a salt- producing area, and wind sails still revolve quietly above the flats. Traditionally, ocean water was drawn into the drying pans with wind power, using windmills made with bamboo frame and canvas vanes. Amphawa Evening Floating Market, this one doesn't start to get going until the late afternoon. Very good news for late risers and It is also more authentic as you won't find the rows and rows of stalls selling the same tacky souvenirs. This is where the Thai tourists come to experience a floating market. Enjoy a private long-tail boat ride to see the fireflies flash over the trees on the bank of the peaceful river. Notes:

For Supreme Court's new term: rise of a new centrist
Key abortion and racial cases could signal whether Justice Kennedy shifts court to the right or maintains precedents.
Abortion regulations and race-based public school enrollment plans are among major national issues at the US Supreme Court this year in a term that offers the first real insight into the constitutional vision of the high court under Chief Justice John Roberts.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Constitutional scholars and other analysts are watching closely to see if respect for legal precedent – the principle of stare decisis – emerges as a defining approach, or whether the Roberts court will seek to build on the conservative agenda of the Rehnquist court, with sweeping rulings that erode or erase liberal precedents.
A major factor in the direction of the court, whose 2006-2007 term begins Monday, is Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is emerging as a primary centrist power on the court following the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Analysts say he may provide the swing vote in several key cases.
"The absence of Justice O'Connor will be one of the most fundamental changes the court has seen," former acting solicitor general and Duke Law School Professor Walter Dellinger told reporters in a recent preterm briefing.
"It is difficult to overstate the significance of that shift," said former solicitor general and Pepperdine Law School Dean Kenneth Starr, in the same briefing. "All eyes will be on Kennedy."
Justice Kennedy's new judicial clout will be on full display in both the race and abortion cases. Similar cases were decided by 5-4 majorities in recent years with Justice O'Connor joining the court's four liberal justices. In contrast, Kennedy dissented in both cases.
Last term was a year of historic transition for the court with the passing of Chief Justice William Rehnquist and the retirement of O'Connor. It marked the arrival of Mr. Roberts as chief justice and Samuel Alito as an associate justice.
The change in the high court's roster is expected to swing the balance of power to the right, possibly overturning legal precedents on a range of hot-button issues, including both the abortion and race cases, analysts say.
Although it is not clear how Roberts and Justice Alito will vote in these cases, many analysts suggest they are likely to align with the court's conservative wing and that Kennedy will be in position to provide the decisive fifth vote.
At issue in the abortion case is the constitutionality of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Act of 2003. The law was passed by the Republican-controlled Congress in open defiance of an earlier Supreme Court ruling that so-called partial-birth abortions could not be banned by states unless lawmakers provided an exception in cases where a woman's health might be threatened by the unavailability of the banned procedure.
Congress swept aside the court-imposed requirement by declaring in its law that there were no circumstances when a partial-birth abortion might be medically necessary. If no circumstances exist, lawmakers concluded, there is no need for a health exception. That Congressional finding disregards the testimony of some medical experts who say the procedure can be necessary in certain cases.
One key issue in the case is whether the high court should defer to Congress on what is medically necessary or set the standard itself.
Three district courts and three federal appeals courts have struck down the 2003 statute, ruling that it is unconstitutional because it fails to provide a health exception as required by the Supreme Court.
Despite universal defeat in the lower courts, supporters of the law hope that O'Connor's retirement and Alito's arrival may have tipped the balance of power on the issue.
In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down a Nebraska law nearly identical to the federal law by a 5-4 vote. Justice Kennedy wrote one of the most impassioned dissents of his 18 years on the court. "The majority views the procedures from the perspective of the abortionist, rather than from the perspective of a society shocked when confronted with a new method of ending human life," he wrote. He stressed in his dissent that he opposed "the decision, the reasoning, and the judgment."
With the possibility of the court divided 4-4 on the issue, Kennedy may wield the decisive vote. If he sticks to the analysis in his dissent in the Nebraska case, court watchers say the law will be upheld. If he adheres to his strongly held belief in stare decisis – affirming precedent even when a justice disagrees with it – the federal law will be struck down.

Armor before 1940
Only three armored vehicles were tested before the German occupation in April 1940. These were two home-built armored cars and a Swedish-built Landsverk L-120 tank chassis. The armored cars were improvised on trucks and armed with a MG.
--- Landsverk L-120
In 1936 Norway bought a L-120 tank chassis from Swedish AB Landsverk to test tracked vehicles. It was delivered in 1937/38 and were fitted with ordinary steel plates and a simple turret housing a Colt MG. It was demonstrated all over Norway and were known as "Kongstanken", while other nicknames were "Norgestanken" and "Rikstanken".
German tanks in late 1940's
After the end of WW2, Norway used approximately 32 PzKpfw. III (5cm and 7.5cm) and StuG III Ausf. G under the designation KW-III. Later on they were replaced with American M24 Chaffee light tanks.
In early 1950s, a contract of arms assistance were signed with USA who supplied some 124 M24 Chaffee, M8 Greyhound and M20 armored cars, M3A1 White and GMC. Further weapons and softskins were also supplied in quantity.
U.S. M24 Chaffee Light Tank, NM-116
The NM-116 was a modification of the U.S. M-24 Chaffee light tank. The bow MG was removed to allow for additional ammunition storage, a 90mm main gun and a 50cal coaxial heavy machine gun installed, a laser rangefinder added, and the diesel engine was replaced with a gasoline engine. The NM-116 was built by Norway and also exported to Taiwan. Norway had 70 vehicles in inventory.

Nico Johnson decks Denard Robinson. Johnson was flagged for a late hit on the play.
The Michigan Wolverines were pounded by Alabama in a 41-14 season opening loss on Saturday night. U-M was in the game briefly as they forced a three and out on Alabama's first possession. On the ensuing drive, Michigan picked up a first down and showed signs that they were going to move the ball. Then a 15 yard face mask penalty on Taylor Lewan forced the Wolverines into a 3rd and 26 which lead to a punt. Alabama proceeded to reel off 31 unanswered points and the game was essentially over by halftime.
The Wolverines imploded with 8 penalties for 99 yards, 3 interceptions – including a pick six – and a slew of missed tackles. Alabama was bigger, faster, more confident and better than Michigan. "Obviously, we didn't play Michigan football, and that is something that bothers our team, bothers the coaches," Brady Hoke said in the postgame press conference. "I don't think we played or tackled well enough ...

News tagged with "digital-camera-history"
At the turn of the 21st century, consumer digital cameras really took off. Technology was evolving at an incredible pace, and camera makers came up with features that we now take for granted, most notably live view on DSLRs. There were plenty of unique ideas going around, as well. Some were genuinely useful, while others may leave you scratching your head. In this article, DPReview's Jeff Keller takes a look at ten cameras that have stood out over the last thirteen years.
Do you remember having to change floppy disks on your Sony Mavica? Or perhaps plugging your Coolpix 100 into the side of your laptop? The early days of consumer digital photography were filled with cameras that broke new ground, though not necessarily in directions that were widely adopted. In this article, DPReview's Jeff Keller takes a look back at ten unique cameras from the era of PC Cards and SCSI ports. Follow the link to explore some of the interesting dead-ends of early digital photography.
In the early days of digital photography a small American company, Imagek, started developing a digital sensor module that could be installed in film SLRs. The idea still generates excitement today, more than ten years after the company (by then named Silicon Film) failed. Photographer and blogger Olivier Duong has taken a look back at the promise and disappointment of the Silicon Film dream.

... land of sprawling windswept plains and rugged mountains, but it's also home to some fantastic beaches. Our rooms were little grass huts built over concrete slabs, with a mattress on the floor and a fly net hanging over. We each had our own balcony equipped with a hammock which got some good use over the next 48 hours. Luckily for us, we were one of the few people that were not directly next door to a loud, obnoxious American couple that chose to have ...

Even when we drove Alberto back to the hostel, there were people sitting on the footpath all along the highway. Nice to see people out and about, this is how the locals spend their Thursday nights with Friday being their holy day.
It was then time to sort out exiting the country. ...
Relaxing by Red Sea... which is blue...

Luckily for us we didn't have to wait too long and were on our way by 3pm. And that was our last city in Egypt!

Historical Traveler Reviews Swisscare Nuweiba Resort Hotel
Relaxation personified
We arrived late on Christmas Day after a long couple of days getting here - we live in the wilds of the Scottish Highlands and were greeted like long lost friends off the coach. Having stayed at the Hilton earlier in the year we knew what to expect - no bright lights, themed pubs, discos etc and the main reason we chose the Swisscare was we had had a sneak preview when we had visited to snorkel the reef (more of that later). If your type of place is one of the big multi national hotels that litter the coast hereabouts then the Swisscare is not for you. However if you want a more personal experience then the Swisscare is. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. A welcoming bottle of wine, cookies, fresh fruit and chocolates greeted us when we were guided to our rooms by Walid and the House staff carrying our cases. Food was excellent and we never had any stomach problems (unlike many people we spoke to on the few excursions we managed to stir ourselves to book). We can't speak highly enough of the staff, who were all friendly, polite and couldn't do enough for you. The house reef is one of the best that we have snorkelled in the area (evidenced by the visit of the boat from the Hilton) and you can see a wide range of fish, corals and other invertebrates. We saw Emperor Angels, slate pencil anemones, barracuda.........and one of our fellow guests saw a turtle. If you're lucky you may see the local Osprey or even be visited by a flock of Flamingoes, but if all else fails there's always the antics of the local Bedouin boys on their camels and horses to entertain.
Service mit 5 Sternchen
Wir waren �ber Sylvester f�r 11 Tage im Nuweiba Swisscare und k�nnen dieses Hotel ohne Einschr�nkung empfehlen.
Die Zimmer sind gross und gut eingerichtet, der Strandbereich ist wohl der sch�nste und gepflegteste in der ganzen Region und der Service ist unglaublich - jeder Wunsch wird einem von den Augen abgelesen und erf�llt.
F�r alle Ausfl�ge im Sinai (z.B. Katharinenkloster, Mosesberg, Colored Canyon, White Canyon) ist Nuweiba der ideale Ausgangsort und zum Schnorcheln liegt das Riff direkt vor dem Hotelstrand (wir hatten das Gl�ck beim Schnorcheln eine Schlidkr�te zu sehen).
F�r alle die einen Urlaub abseits von Hektik und Trubel suchen ist das Swisscare ein idealer Zielort.
Swisscare really does care!
My partner and I spent the last week of October (2006) in the heavenly Swisscare resort in Nuweiba where we experienced service and accomodation beyond our expectations! Situated away from tacky tourist areas, we enjoyed what I certainly prefer, a more traditional egyptian experience with a personal service second to none!
Relaxation in a fabulous location with superb service
We would echo everything that the other reviewers have written - this hotel is a real gem. It is very difficult to sum up exactly what it is about this place that makes it SO special. Alvin, who owns it, says that he has built it and runs it just the way he personally would like to stay and to be treated. And that extends to every detail of the place and the service.
We have traveled all over the world and lived on 4 continents, and this was by far one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The personal care by the staff was unsurpassed, the food could not have been better, the facilities immaculate, the beach and snorkeling first-rate. If you are looking for a quiet place to visit in Egypt, this far surpasses Sharm el-Sheikh. And, you will not find a better price for a 5 star hotel...anywhere. We could not recommend this hotel any more highly.
Total Relaxation
If you want to get away from people and totally relax, if you want to do nothing but snorkel, read, lay in the sun, eat, drink and sleep, if you simply don't want to think about anything, even about what to eat, then this hotel comes highly recommended.
Ultimate Care at the SwissCare Nuweiba
My Nebraska family of five came to SwissCare for four days of sun and snorkeling. The place is a jewel in the deseret. Alvin, the owner and manager keeps the place spotless and visits with guests at each meal and on the beach! The rooms are very spacious with excellent beds, bath and balconies! The place is like a 5-Star hotel with the feel of a small family home. It's a great place. Breakfast and dinner is included and the cuisine is delicious. There is a beautiful coral reef right off the beach. If you book for five days you can stay for two more days free. What a deal! In the photo, Alivin is the handsome, tall guy in the blue t-shirt and shorts.
Family vacation
My family (My wife, 3 daughters and myself) stayed for 4 evening in early December. As a father of three young daughters who is always concerned for their well being and safety, the things that stood out where:
High Swiss Standards in the vast desert wilderness of the Sinai, Egypt

A great hotel in nuweiba
Last month we have visited Nuweiba and stayed at the new "Swisscare" hotel. It was amazing. It is a brand new hotel, built on one of the most beautiful coral riffs. It has a huge swiming pool, great food and a very very friendly staff. Prices are very raesonable, for the opening campaign. Highly recomended!

"The best part about this product was that I was able to completely change all of the layout to suit our event. The finished product is smart and elegant and looked really lovely on the table top at our wedding."
"I originally chose a different design for my wedding programs, table cards, etc., but that design didn't have green menu cards so I ordered this style instead. The staff at Wedding Paper Divas was kind enough to adjust the coloring of the letters to make this design look closer to the rest of my order. The result? A beautiful, cohesive look that impressed my guests. I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"Loved the ability to custom design this one. The designer made room to accommodate our 'stations of food' for the menu printing. Fonts were great. Colors were stunning. Delivery and processing and proofing were done nicely. Good money spent."

Nytimes.com announced today that thirteen operatives working at the nation's underground nuclear waste dump near Carlsbad (New Mexico) have been affected by radiation. This happened due to a leak in the nuclear factory.
While on Wednesday official informed the media about a leak which was denied to be related to another similar incident:
The federal Energy Department said Monday that the results were from samples collected last week at air monitoring stations at and around the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad. Last week, federal officials confirmed the first-ever leak at the facility. It stores plutonium-contaminated waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other government nuclear sites. Officials say there is no public health threat. Waste shipments to the site were halted this month after a truck caught fire underground. Officials say they did not think the incidents were related.
Now, the federal Department of Energy and the contractor that runs the dump confirmed that they had notified the workers about the results and will continue to do the testing.
They haven""t made any further declarations saying they will detail everything on a press conference on Thursday afternoon .
The message ends with the following statement:
Elevated radiation levels have been detected around the plant, but officials have said the readings are too low to be a public health threat.
In January a Youtube celebrity, known as DutchSinse, made a video in which he was measuring the snow radiation level. He wasn""t surprised when he found out that it was more than regular.
He was very angry about the press which couldn""t relate it to the disaster from Fukushima and more than than, they were denying the truth:
Health officials in California are now telling residents not to worry after a video uploaded to the internet last month seemed to show high levels of radiation at a Pacific Coast beach.
The video, "Fukushima radiation hits San Francisco," has been viewed nearly half-a-million times since being uploaded to YouTube on Christmas Eve, and its contents have caused concern among residents who fear that nuclear waste from the March 2011 disaster in Japan may be arriving on their side of the Pacific Ocean.
Throughout the course of the seven-minute-long clip, a man tests out his Geiger counter radiation detector while walking through Pacific State Beach outside of San Francisco. At times, the monitor on the machine seems to show radiation of 150 counts-per-minute, or the equivalent of around five times what is typically found in that type of environment.
It""s good news the winter is almost over and that we don""t have to worry about snow.
But what about the rain? Check our products and arm yourselves with the Radiation Dosimeter Defender.
TEPCO has inspected the readings on the radioactivity levels at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant well to 5 million becquerels of strontium per liter. They are a record and the result is almost five times higher than the original reading of 900,000 becquerels per liter.
"Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope of strontium produced by nuclear fission with a half-life of 28.8 years. The legal standard for strontium emissions is 30 becquerels per liter. Exposure to strontium-90 can cause bone cancer, cancer of nearby tissues, and leukemia," wrote rt.com yesterday.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. initially affirmed that 900,000 becquerels of beta-ray sources per liter, including strontium was the result measured in the water sampled last year on July 5.
However, the Asahi Shimbum newspaper published on Friday the company"s report which informed that the previous radioactivity levels were wrong, so it"s probable that the readings were taken from other wells from the disaster-struck plant were also inexact. The company apologized for the wrong answer and explained it was the consequence of a malfunction of measuring equipment.
TEPCO didn"t specify though any other readings that were taken from both groundwater and sea water, which happened between June and November last year and summed 140 results.
rt.com added that "TEPCO also said on Thursday that 600 liters of contaminated water – which had 2,800 becquerels of beta-ray sources per liter in it, leaked from piping leading to a tank at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
A record high level of beta rays released from radioactive strontium-90 was detected at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant beneath the No. 2 reactor"s well facing the ocean, according to the facility's operator who released news of the measurements mid-January."
All these unexpected problems happened due to a tsunami produced by an earthquake in March 2011, which damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The disaster caused the meltdown of 3 nuclear reactors of the site, leading to the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl. The water that cooled the reactors leaked into the soil, contaminating the groundwater and reaching even the water from the Pacific Ocean.
This is why our radiation detectors and other products are essential in order to protect yourself and your family from all harmful radiated objects you come in contact with.

Four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations using a transformed harmonic oscillator basis
Rodriguez-Gallardo, M, Arias, JM, Gomez-Camacho, J, Johnson, RC, Moro, AM, Thompson, IJ and Tostevin, JA (2008) Four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations using a transformed harmonic oscillator basis PHYSICAL REVIEW C, 77 (6). ? - ?. ISSN 0556-2813
fulltext.pdf Download (335Kb) |
The scattering of a weakly bound three-body system by a target is discussed. A transformed harmonic oscillator basis is used to provide an appropriate discrete and finite basis for treating the continuum part of the spectrum of the projectile. The continuum-discretized coupled-channels framework is used for the scattering calculations. The formalism is applied to different reactions, He-6+C-12 at 229.8 MeV, He-6+Zn-64 at 10 and 13.6 MeV, and He-6+Pb-208 at 22 MeV, induced by the Borromean nucleus He-6. Both the Coulomb and nuclear interactions with a target are taken into account.

Are you on some kind of drugs that clouding up your reading comprehension or do you suffer from it since childhood? I don't know why you are even attempting to start up a debate when it's obvious that I was rip off by Subway. Do you not see it? Or are you too blind to see? Perhaps you are an employee of this filthy company and you are here to defend this restaurant?
A photo is worth a thousand words. I was ripped off by subway that day and to this day I am boycotting this filthy restaurant. How can you serve this pathetic sandwich to your costumers? I would be embarrassed if I hand over this sandwich to one of my costumers had I owned a restaurant.

If ya' thought the sandwhich was bad when you bought it why not ask for more meat daddy? or get your money back and try your luck with the big mac? (you've seen THOSE photos now..you know what to expect)
and i guess you're right Ashley, I really DON'T have much sensitivity against someone abusing the airwaves over some issues appear to be rather superficial to most anybody else. Better save up some money so you can afford a personal chef or something, idunno./ Don't divert your own foolish post, i have nothing against obesity either i just said your 'face was fat', whether it is or isnt'...I have no idea...it's just a figure of speach. But alas, I must be psychic. 'Done talking about this one'

Ashley, I see where you are going at but the fact to the matter is that the website indicates that theirs a lot of meat in the sub, and what I was given was just a speck of it.
- It sure looked like more than a speck. Just how many ounces are in a spec?
As for your disability that has nothing to do with this. You didn't mention it in the beginning, no one else brought it up, but you seem to think it is now important. Well unless you can prove that somehow Subway knew you were disabled when your father went, and they gave you that sandwich specifically because you are disabled..just leave it out.
What would Gordon Ramsay would do had he been given this sandwich?
- He probably would look at the ingredients, experiement a bit, and then create a similar sandwich in his resturants that he would sell that $6-7 sandwich you got for about $30-$40.

As for the rest of your hatred post you have no idea what my situation is. I am disabled. No I am not fat, however I can clearly see that you have a hatred against fat people so that tells me a lot about your personality, and how you lack of any sensitivity. I am unable to do what so many of you guys simply take for granted. I am unable to drive a car without blacking out so I need help with transportation. I am unable to go to stores without passing out. It's nice that assholes like you who have no sympathy for the disabled. My father is more than willing to help me out and for that I am grateful for it.

Suns' Lon Babby: Goran Dragic someone 'you want your son to be like'
At least that's what his boss says about him.
Dragic, 27, plays with a determination and hunger that can, at times, seem scarce and latent in the landscape of the NBA. And at times, the Slovenian national plays with so much energy that you'd think the Phoenix Suns would ask him to tone things down.
But have they ever?
"No, because it would be pointless," Suns president of basketball operations explained while a guest with The Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta.
"That's the way he's wired, that's the way he plays and that's what makes him a special part of this team and a joy to watch."
Dragic, who is averaging 16.4 points and 6.4 assists per game with the Suns this season, has suffered a pair of injuries due to his style of play, sitting out with an ankle injury and then needing 13 stitches from a head-first collision with the Portland Trailblazers' Mo Williams after diving after a loose ball.
"He plays at a tremendously hard pace," Babby explained.
The president admits -- there are moments where the team would like to see less all-out play, all the time in order to preserve his health, but those hopes are futile.
"Sometimes, what you want to see is to play with a little bit more calm, depending on the circumstances in the game, because he's always got his foot on the accelerator," he went on. "In terms of his desire, his effort, his willingness to give up of his body with every ounce of energy he has -- nobody would want to stop that and you couldn't if you wanted to."
His on-court play, Babby boasts, is really a testament to his round-the-clock character. The seven-year veteran has displayed seeming humility and professionalism throughout his career. Over the offseason, when the Suns brought in Eric Bledsoe to play point guard and slid Dragic -- the 2012-13 one guard for the Suns -- to shooting guard, he handled himself excellently.
"'Grounded' is an excellent word for him," said Babby. "He doesn't have a big ego and plays with a spirit that is infectious for our whole organization.
"He represents a lot of the qualities you want, not only in your point guard or your two-guard, which are the positions he happens to be playing, but what you want your son to be like."

Secretary-General comments on Redesign Panel's recommendations (A/61/758)
English, French & Spanish: http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=A/61/758
The report of the Redesign Panel on the internal system of administration of justice in the United Nations was issued last summer (A/61/205 - http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=A/61/205). Now the comments of the Secretary-General have been issued (A/61/758). According to the note, the fundamental reasons the UN needs a functioning, well-resourced system of internal justice are: UN staff have no legal recourse to national courts for employment-related grievances; the UN, an organization involved in setting norms and standards and advocating for the rule of law, has a duty to offer staff timely, effective and fair justice; to gain the confidence of both staff and management and thereby promote mutual trust and enhance accountability; and to provide access to all staff, wherever they are located. The document includes organizational charts for the proposed informal and formal systems of UN internal justice. Financial implications of the proposals are outlined in detail.
Secretary-General's Proposals (A/61/749)
English, French & Spanish: http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=A/61/749
A new letter from the Secretary-General outlines proposed changes to the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Department of Disarmament Affairs (A/61/749). The current Department of Peacekeeping Operations would be reconfigured to two departments, a Department of Peace Operations and a Department of Field Support. The proposal for the Department for Disarmament Affairs would establish a new office directly reporting to the Secretary-General. The document includes organization charts for the proposed departments.

World Population Prospects: The 2006 Revision
The world population continues its path towards population ageing and is on track to surpass 9 billion persons by 2050, as revealed by the newly released 2006 Revision of the official United Nations population estimates and projections. The results of the 2006 Revision -- which provide the population basis for the assessment of trends at the global, regional and national levels, and serve as input for calculating many key indicators in the United Nations system -- incorporate the findings of the most recent national population censuses and of the numerous specialized population surveys carried out around the world.

Violence Against Women Case Studies (UNFPA report)
A new study by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) shows that community-based interventions aimed at halting violence against women can yield significant results. "Programming to Address Violence Against Women" offers case studies to show how targeted and planned interventions can reduce gender-based violence. The lessons from the case studies are distilled in a companion booklet, "Ending Violence Against Women: Programming for Prevention, Protection and Care", and an online multimedia exhibit integrates the text from both booklets with videos from each of the ten countries, and links to related UNFPA resources.

If I was them (Bing), I would turn this blind test into the biggest ad campaign ever - spend a billion dollars if that's what it takes.
And there is the big IF. If Bing is winning by far! Otherwise why would anyone switch to Bing?
Difference between Bing and Google is that Goodle is a search engine company, while Bing is just a project of MS. To me it's like comparing a car made by top auto company(say MB) with a car that is made by a company that has nothing to do with cars(say Phantom Corsair by Heinz). The letter may look fancy with fancy gadgets, but when it comes to buying you want something stable and something that is made by people who have experience and vision. What is Bing, where was it, where is it now, where is it going? Go outside and talk to people, at least in US I haven't seen a person who would search something on bing, Yahoo yes, Bing no. Even MS guys agree that Bing is a fail.
I just did an image search on Bing, on the keyterms that I rank pretty well on G, and guess what I see same results. I have an impression that they can't say which one is better so they go and steal results from G. From one of key terms I receive 1k+ visitors a month from G. From Bing? 0 for this year. It wasn't on the firs page from the beginning, it climbed because of high CTR. But why did it climb on Bing?
