Monday went as planned and I came in at 1655 calories for the day, I have not ridden my bike in more than a week and right now I have a pain in my lower back from driving for 3 hours and rough housing with my daughter on Easter. Over all I am feeling back on track from what I was doing for the last week or so and its got to be that way because I still have a lot of weight to go. I believe that losing the amount of weight that I have lost is starting to feel good to me and this may be the reason that I am slacking off a bit on the eating properly thing. Exercise has been halted because I have back pain and when that comes around there is nothing that I can do besides waiting it out BUT the eating I CAN control. I think that I am comfortable at my current weight as it is close to the weight that I have been for most of my adult life and it feels like end game to me. Though it is awesome that I feel good and feel like I can do anything that I want to right now the cold hard truth of the matter is that I am still a 350 pound fella and I have a ways to go before I am at a healthy weight. Is this 350 pound body that I walk around in better than the 534 pound one? absolutely! but I do think that I have to remind myself that I want to be smaller, I still need to lose close to another 100 pounds to be at the weight that I WANT to be at, I made a decision 16 months ago to drop ALL of the weight that was holding me back not 66% of it and that's what I gotta do. Admitting that the last two weeks was not so good is the first step so there it is, the last two weeks of no weight loss was my fault and I own that, now its time to get back into a groove and keep on keepin on...now where have I heard that before? As Ever Me
It is time to refocus, because I have to. This weekend was worse case scenario for me where eating goes, Saturday for whatever reason I was very easy on myself where grabbing the random candy went but for the most part stayed within my calorie range if not over by 100-200 but I did not drink enough and I was up late Friday and Saturday night, when I say late I mean 2:00am-ish. Easter Sunday was a disaster and I had the willpower of a 10 year old at a candy buffet, The day started off well enough with wify making omelets for breakfast but I did grab a piece of french toast after I ate the omelet, not so bad as it was early. The kids were rummaging through their Easter baskets and I had bought myself a box of 4 cadbury eggs a few nights ago with the intention of eating one per day on top of my calories for Easter weekend as a treat, so out came the box and before we left for Easter dinner at wifys family's place I had eaten 2 of the eggs among other random morsels of goodness, this was all before 1:00PM. Upon arriving at Wifys aunts house I was promptly handed a Sam Adams white ale and as it was a holiday I don't count calories on holidays I accepted. Before too long I had consumed 2 Sam Adams and a Spaten and meandered into the back yard where the "man folk" were boiling clams and grilling hot dogs, I was handed another Spaten and a couple clams, again I obliged. Dinner was being served at this time and it was buffet style everyone brought something but wify asked if I wanted to wait until everyone was done so that we could take our time after the dinner bell madness died down and that's what we did, I stayed outside watching the kids look for eggs and chatting with the fellas around the grill. The madness died down and wify asked if I was hungry and that I was! I am 4 beers and a nipper of brandy into my day here and my judgment was not the best at that point judging by the decisions that were made. Scalloped potatoes with bacon, curry rice and veggies, ham, grilled hot dogs, tortellini, eggplant parm and cheese cake cupcakes were among the bounty and surely some of that has attached itself to my ass by this morning. I ate like I use to eat back about 2 years ago, After dinner a red stripe and another nipper of brandy went down and it was time to decorate cupcakes with the kids and it is now roughly 3:30pm. There was literally no holding back and its time to take my lumps like a big boy (again literally on the big boy part) I drank less than 1/2 gallon of water and zero tea during Saturday and Sunday as a whole. I was up until 2:00 am Friday and Saturday nights and last night was 1:30 am, This IS NOT good for my weight loss regimen! today I cannot stay out of the bathroom and I feel like shit, I am disappointed in myself for having ANOTHER bad weekend and I am sore and tired today. Flashback to 2 years ago and I was not able to walk around the block, I was eating like I ate on Easter EVERY day, I was "feeling like shit" all of the time and here I am by my own hand having a day like that? I will say it here and I have already told my wife, NO MORE of that kind of day. This does not mean that I am dropping my "no counting on holidaze" rule, it just means that even though I am not counting that I need to stay reasonable with the intake on these occasions. Bottom line, I deserve to feel like crap today mentally and physically and I accept my lumps. A lot of the time I get comments and emails saying that I inspire someone or am doing a helluva job on the weight loss front but this time it is I that dropped that ball that you see rolling into the street but this post is me refusing to chase it into the path of the truck that I see coming up the road. I figure if I can write a blog about how wonderful and great I am doing in this weight loss game that I can pop a not so good look at a day in the life of as well, so there it is. This morning I weighed in at 355 pounds, I KNOW that there is water retention and bloating within that number but it is what it is and seeing a number above 350 on that scale again when I am so close to losing 200 total pounds sucked and I cannot say it any more simply than that. Today marks the beginning of the new beginning as I have had a not so good couple of weeks now and I HAVE to get it rolling in the right direction again, so its on... As Ever Me
This week I have been away from the blog for the most part, and its nothing more really than an extremely busy week. I will get right to the weigh in and I am afraid that its a gain this week but there have been some obstacles this last week. From my previous entry's if you read regular like, you know that I had 4 days of terrible eating but that was straightened out on Wednesday and since then I have not gone over my 1700 calories. Monday I woke up and was 353 pounds which is Nine pounds more than I was on Friday but I knew that it was an impossibility for me to have gained that much "actual weight" in 3 days, I mean that's 31500 EXTRA calories and I know that was not the case so I chalked it up to sodium and no water and did not worry about it. All week I have been inching closer to my 344 pound weight, and by all week I mean since Wednesday when I actually started eating within my 1700 calories and getting enough to drink, so for two days now. I have done zero exercise all week and that has nothing to do with me not eating well in the beginning of the week. Out of the blue and for no reason at all, meaning that I did not injure myself or do anything obvious that would give me a reason why, my hip/lower back on the left side started hurting last weekend so I decided that I would take it easy until the pain went away, it is a dull almost not there pain but when I get a good stride going it comes back harder. Busy comes in because opening day for fishing is coming up on the 18th and I have been going through all of my fishing gear and making sure everything was in order. I bought a new light action reel and plan on putting some fresh fish on the table this year and for those that do not know, I am very obsessive about things when I am doing them (mayby this is why I was able to lose 190 pounds) and I have been in fishing mode all week, before you think that "ahhh he obsesses on one thing at a time hence the lack of attention to the weight loss" know that its not the case, I quite literally blew it for 4 days and have been back in full on weight loss mode since late Tuesday night and I don't believe that a person could eat bad for 3-4 days and not have a bad effect from it. Green tea and water have been flowing and a balanced intake has been the case for the end of the week and the plan is to stay on that path. I do have a date at Wifys family's Easter dinner this Sunday but as with all holidaze I don't count my calories for holiday meals but I do eat reasonably and that won't change just because I had a bad start this week. Oh I almost forgot to mention how much of a gain I had this morning, I weighed in at 347.6 (with socks and a tee shirt on which is not usually the case) so just over a 3 pound gain from last Friday but I do expect that it will be at least a pound lower tomorrow morning as I believe that I am still on the flushing sodium/rehydrating thing but that's to be seen and the 347 is what it is. I was up nine pounds just 4 days ago and I think that after today I will be properly hydrated once again. I am not changing my "start/current/goal" ticker on the side bar this week but if I am still at a gain by next Friday it will be changed so that right there is some motivation for me to stick with the program this week. I am going to try the bike tonight to see if it hurts my hip/back and if not I will do some low intensity rides in the coming days. Over all its just been a very busy week for me hence the lack of attention to posting every day but this week should be filled with posts for your reading pleasure! just do not expect a post on the 18th! when 6am rolls around know that I will be standing on a body of water or a stream trying for some trout, I WILL be out fishing ALL day! Don't forget that H2O (I know someone that should be taking his own advice on that one!) and keep on keepin on, Thanks for the support and hopefully I will have some fish photos to share next weekend! As Ever Me
Since weighing in on Friday everything that I have chosen to do that is directly related to this weight loss program that I am on has been full of Fail. for the first time since starting down this path I am not in control, that old fatter me was driving or the past three days and I am pissed at myself for it. I do not like writing in this blog when it is not positive and my momma always said iffin ya got nothing nice to say, keep that mouth shut, but I deserve to out myself for the past four days of NOT doing what I NEED to be doing so here it is. Saturday I counted my calories right up until dinner time when I decided to order a Chicken parm grinder from the local pizza house, and on the side I had 2 slices of bacon pizza off of a small pie. Later Saturday night we watched a movie and I had my big ol bowl of popcorn that I always have with a movie. Then there was Sunday, the only good thing about Sunday was that I literally did not stop moving all day, wify bought a space at a flea market and off we went @ 7AM and we stayed until 1:30PM up $160 minus the $15 space fee so that was good and all I ate at that point was a bowl of cereal and a peanut butter and jelly sammie that I brought along, then when we got home somehow we ended up basically landscaping almost my entire front and side yard but that meant that dinner was late and someone decided that KFC was on the menu this is where the bucket of fail entered. I was HUNGRY by the time that dinner walked through the door from all of the yard work and I did not hold back, this is where you should brace yourself. I ate 2 breasts, 1 Thigh, 2 biscuits w/gravy, 2 T Mac n cheese and 2 T of mashed potatoes and honestly I did not enjoy the meal at all, maybe the first piece tasted good but only for a split second, and that will conclude the weekend. Monday came around and I had about 750 calories left for dinner and we ended up stopping at Subway, no worries right? wrong! I ordered a foot long Subway melt with provolone and mayo on it and shared a small bag of cool ranch doritos with my daughter so I did go over calories yesterday. Now for today, This morning started off well enough once again but around dinner time I ate extra rice as well as extra peas with my Gortons fish fillets which would have put me over my calories for the day but then I added a Fiber one bar because "I needed something sweet" and about 45 minutes after that (just before the biggest loser started) I had 2 dannon light and fit yogurts, well I'll tell ya something, I bet they are not so light nor fit when you eat two after your calorie limit is gone for the day! I have since Saturday had exactly 1 gallon of green tea and maybe 2 gallons of water, that's four days! I usually have 1.5 gallons PER DAY! so to say that I am dehydrated is an understatement, let me put it this way as I am typing this the taste of chapstick is on my dried lips. I have not been getting enough sleep either, last night I was up until 3am researching some lakes and streams in the area to go fishing in on the 18th as opening day is upon us. Now let us talk about the exercise, I have done none since Friday besides the yard work and flea market and that my friends is not the way to lose weight. Now that I have demonstrated how NOT to do it, I am back to my old self...er..my New old self! because I did not lose 190 pounds to just have a few days like that pull me into some sort of a spiral or even just a slight back up because that is not how I get down anymore. I am honestly pissed off at myself for the last four days worth of eating and not exercising not to mention the lack of drinking anything so tonight is the end of that. I have no clue what the scale will say this week but I am heavier today than I was on Friday, whatever it is I have to accept it because I am the one making the choices. As Ever Me
Last night I told my wife that if I stayed even with my weight this week that I have changed everything about my eating habits and health in general, let alone if I showed a loss. Changing ones life by making better food choices is a concept that has escaped me for many years but I think I got it this time around, I believe that just a small bit of success can go a long way where pushing someone to keep on keepin on with something, even through the not so good weeks. This week I have struggled a bit because of hurting my back early in the week so I couldn't exercise the way that I have been in recent weeks but hey! Friday is here and that means that I weigh in. First time on the scale told me 344.2 pounds, this is good news! second time on 344.0 pounds, third time was 344.2 again so that's what we will call it, 344.2 pounds which is a 1.2 pound loss for the week! with no exercise? how can that be? I have read all over the internet that you must exercise for hours per day and starve yourself! all joking aside I am very happy with the loss this week. This weeks loss brings me to a total of 190 pounds lost since starting and only 10 pounds away from having lost 200 pounds, That feeling is surreal to me. Here is my scale photo for the day as well as some things that weigh the same as me and as much as I have lost. Fred Flinstone eat your heart out! would ya look at that scale drop! An adult Striped dolphin weighs up to 344 pounds or 156 Kilos which is what I weigh currently. Jenn from season 5 The biggest loser weighed in at 190 pounds by the finale, That is what I have lost so far! Last night I did go for a walk, in the rain, and it was very nice to get out alone and walk in the dark with the light rain falling on and around me, I should probably say almost alone though. The walk was 1.5 miles and it took me 26 minutes so slightly better than 3mph and I said almost alone because there were little frogs all over the road! not something I am use to having grown up in a city, seeing trash, or the random stray dog maybe but not little frogs everywhere! I snapped a pic of one last night with my flashlight and cell phone. This guy was about 3 inches long from nose to butt. Over all I am pleased with this weeks scale result, especially because I have done next to no exercise besides a couple of walks. I am a mere 10 pounds from having lost 200 pounds and am enjoying things that I was letting pass me by just slightly over a year ago, Lots of people think that it will take too long to lose the weight, or that the amount of weight to lose is just too much to lose by eating correctly and moving more, including me at one point. If I had kept that way of thinking I would surely have been on my way to 600 pounds and maybe even death, look at it this way, do nothing and guarantee that the weight will stay attached to our bodies or choose to do something about it and it will come off, even if its slow, isn't slow better than not at all? if I had chosen to keep on the road that I was walking...wait no I couldn't walk very far back then, so if I had chosen to stay on that road I do honestly believe that it would have been short lived. We cannot stop the clock, time WILL keep going whether we chose to do something about our condition or not and there is nothing that we can change about that fact BUT we can change how we spend our time. Will it be spent shoveling piles of processed high calorie high fat junk into our pie holes while sitting motionless watching Doctor Phil or Oprah? or will it be spent living life to the fullest, eating properly and exercising moderately? I have made my choice, have you? Grab a big glass of H2O and thanks for following. As Ever Me

"Until you get comfortable with being alone, you'll never know if you're choosing someone out of love or loneliness."—Mandy Hale (via jaeboogie)
Have you ever fell more in love with someone because of something tiny they did/said? Tonight is a prime example of that.
I'm starting to question if going out is my thing anymore. Maybe I prefer drinking a few and enjoying it with a few friends? Anyone care to join?
I can cross getting a job abroad off of my New Years Resolutions. Taichung Taiwan, here I come.

Kraft gets cheesed at Cracker Barrel
The consumer foods giant wants to block the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain from grocery stores.
It's shaping up to be a fight between two big cheeses.
Kraft (KRFT) is suing Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (CBRL) in an effort to keep branded products from the restaurant chain out of grocery stores.
The lawsuit will pit two well-known consumer brands against each other over who controls the Cracker Barrel name in grocery stores.
The problem began when Cracker Barrel Old Country Store -- no relation to Kraft's line of Cracker Barrel cheeses -- announced in November that ham, bacon and other foods would soon appear in grocery stores with the Cracker Barrel name.
The restaurant chain noted that the plans would have no effect in its 2013 fiscal year, but that it hoped to increase visibility by reaching out to supermarket shoppers.
It's getting the type of visibility it probably didn't want, however.
Kraft, which has sold its Cracker Barrel-branded cheese for about 60 years, wants to ban Cracker Barrel Old Country Store from any branded food beyond its restaurants, stores or website, USA Today reports.
"I think this will be a serious fight," trademark attorney Mark Patterson told the newspaper. "Kraft could prevail in this case."
That could hamper Cracker Barrel Old Country Store's growth plans, notes FoodWorldNews. Losing the battle with Kraft could "be a hard setback to the country store chain."
For its part, Kraft has been on a push to promote its Cracker Barrel brand. Last year, it introduced a new advertising campaign, taking out its first TV spots in more than a decade, to tout the cheese's award-winning flavor.
Kraft said it's willing to talk with Cracker Barrel, suggesting a settlement between the two food companies is a possibility, USA Today notes.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, which started in 1969, operates more than 600 restaurants and has about $2.4 billion in annual sales. Kraft owns dozens of brands, ranging from Jell-O to Oscar Mayer, and has $19 billion in annual revenue.

I wish they would quit whining, I promise I will not confuse the two businesses. My husband loves Cracker Barrel's bacon and I would love to buy it in the grocery store. We also eat Cracker Barrel, the cheese companies cheese, but it is expensive and we only buy it when it's on sale. So come on, why can't we all just get along?
". "We can't charge $16 for a salad, it's unreal." as if that bothers any of those who have no problem fleecing the public.
Americans do appreciate your honesty and candor .
As for the lettuce , no one will die if you don't serve it for a while, apple sauce is just as good, if not better for us.
Do what the old timers did when someone doubled the price of a product; they doubled the amount of the product they did not use.Like , coffee, if they drank 2 cups before , they only drink one now.

IEnumWbemClassObject interface
The IEnumWbemClassObject interface is used to enumerate Common Information Model (CIM) objects and is similar to a standard COM enumerator.
An object of type IEnumWbemClassObject is received from calls to the following methods:
- IWbemServices::ExecQuery
- IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnum
- IWbemServices::CreateClassEnum
- IWbemServices::ExecNotificationQuery
CIM objects are retrieved from an enumeration as objects of type IWbemClassObject by calling the Next method. You can reset an enumeration back to the beginning by calling the Reset method.
The IEnumWbemClassObject interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IEnumWbemClassObject also has these types of members:
The IEnumWbemClassObject interface has these methods.
Method | Description |
Clone |
Makes a copy of the enumerator. |
Next |
Retrieves the next object or objects in the enumeration starting from the current position. |
NextAsync |
Retrieves the next object or objects using asynchronous integration with IWbemObjectSink. |
Reset |
Resets an enumeration sequence back to the beginning. |
Skip |
Causes the enumeration to skip ahead so that future calls to the Next method retrieve objects one, or more, ahead of the current location in the enumeration. |

| format primary hard drive Hey, I'm running 7 on a logical drive (I have windows xp on my primary, which I don't really want anymore). It should be alright if I just format my primary hard drive partition yeah? If not is there any alternative to completely overhauling my OS? |

| I THINK you could image the drive Windows 7 is on.....format and partition your drive and restore the image to where you need it. Get a second opinion before you do this, but I think it should work. |

| If you are dual booting 7 and XP your boot loader is probably on the XP/primary drive. If you format it I think you will find that you can't boot into windows 7 any more. Is each OS on it's own hard drive or one hard drive with two partitions? |

| This is true, you will have to take care of that. EasyBCD should do it or there are other programs and methods you can use. |

| Lots of alternatives. Depends how many partitions you have and how big they are. You could use the free Partition Wizard to convert the logical to Primary. Make the 7 ( now Primary) into the "system " partition and then delete XP and copy 7 partition into that space, or use the Move/Resize function on a free partition manager to extend 7 partition into the space. Or, make an image of the 7 partition - Macrium free is good for that - restore it to the current XP partition , selecting Active and Primary during the restore - then run startup repair from the 7 install dvd 3 times. Post a screenie of your Disk Management window - and we can the easiest/best way: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...en-forums.html |

| Here's a screen of my disk management. It's all on one hard drive. I'm booting off the C:drive right now, which is has my windows 7 and I want to delete the D drive which is active and boot right now. Thanks for the help. |

| Well here's an attachment using window's disk management, if it helps. What about it confuses you? If it's about the names that's just because I got bored of the old "local disk" thing. They don't really mean anything. Omega (C: ) is the drive I'm booting off of, it has Windows 7 and its a logical. Alpha (D: ) has windows XP and it's the primary drive I'm trying to remove. All the other ones are just partitions I've made for media/programs etc. There's an extra unallocated space separate from the rest of the free space. I don't know why that happened but I just resized my D drive since I didn't need all 50gb I allocated for it, and apparently they sequestered that bit of space (because it was cut from the primary drive I assume?). |
My System Specs |
09 Feb 2010 | #9 |
| You are not actually booting off of your C drive, you are booting off of your D drive. Actually we shouldn't be using drive letters and should be talking partitions. I bet if you boot up in XP and open disk management the drive letters will be different. The primary partition (the one you are booting from) will be C not D. The reality is you are booting off of the primary active partition, the one with XP on it. That is where the boot loader is. If you format it you will get a no operating system found error message. |
My System Specs |
09 Feb 2010 | #10 |
| Use Partition Wizard - rt click the C drive and select Modify>Set as primary. Apply. Then d/l this sispar.zip ( as usual, rt click, properties>unblock>apply>ok). Unzip it and dble click on sispar.cmd. Select C as the system partition. Hope it helps. |

Probably a bit like bikes.
If you want primo quality and primo service, you'll pay for it at a specialist trade-focussed shop. Or you can bypass the service and get it online (give or take some electrical compliance certification and power point adaptors).
If you want consumer-grade quality, they actually do sell some half-decent stuff at department stores. Not pro spec, but better than bad. And there's not much to be gained by shopping online in that segment.
Bunnings is a department store. Big volume, crap to moderate quality, not much margin, and we won't talk about the service or else Ian might get upset
I recently needed to cut up some concrete, neatly. So I asked a few tradesmen mates and they recommended a really big Ozito angle grinder. The diamond blade cost nearly as much as the tool. They just buy them and throw them out when they break, it works out cheaper than buying the good stuff. On another note I remember a tradesman ranting about my folding ladder (which he didn't know that I'd owned and used for 15 years) he reckoned that they all corrode and jam. The thing is that I use it once every 2 months and always oil it and store it under cover whereas the average tradie uses one every day and leaves it out in the weather.

Gridiron Grit:
Danny Amendola just joined the New England Patriots a month ago and he's already making an impact. The former undrafted product out of Texas Tech has pledged to help in the relief efforts via Twitter following Monday's horrible tragedy at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured at least 144 others. Photo Credit: Patriots.com Amendola, 27, caught 63 passes for 666 yards and three TDs in 11 games (eight starts) in 2012. He's played in 42 contests (17 starts) and made 196 receptions for 1,726 yards and seven scores in four seasons with the St. Louis Rams. This is an awesome gesture from a player that doesn't appear to have any ties to the area prior to joining the Patriots. Hopefully he has a huge impact with Tom Brady and company and this decision inspires others to get involved and come up with ways to make donations of their own. Michael Gartman is a College Football and NFL Senior Writer, the AFC South and NFC West Lead Writer and the Founder, CEO ...

We are proud to be the only non-university-affiliated pediatric medical center in the United States to have a research institute of this magnitude, with a yearly institute budget of more than $47 million.
Researchers are making significant progress in such areas as diagnosing and treating pediatric cancers, sickle cell disease, AIDS and HIV, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, developing prenatal techniques for diagnosing mental retardation and birth defects, and improving infant nutrition. Research institute efforts have led to Children's Hospital Oakland operating the only nonprofit sibling donor umbilical cord blood bank in the United States.
Volunteer lab assistants are needed regularly and students may gain valuable experience in one of the insitute labs.

Edited by Dr. Stephen J. Blank.
The essays gathered here represent a panel at SSI's annual Russia conference in 2011. They focus on the analysis of Russian foreign policy both on its material side or actual conduct as well as on the cognitive bases of Russian thinking about international affairs and Russian national security. They span much of the gamut of that foreign policy and also show its strong linkages to the Russian historical tradition and to the imperatives of Russian domestic development.

Old Naples' newest see-and-be-seen scene, Handsome Harry's at 1205 Third Street South, is another reason to come downtown after dark. Or, for that matter, to liven up an otherwise laissez faire end-of-summer Southwest Florida afternoon by lunching al fresco on the spacious terrace.
Floors are attractive black and white marble squares, artwork includes vintage-look black and white photographs, cinnamon serves as the accent color and exotic orange birds of paradise poke from glass vases in the center of each table.
For starters, try Handsome Harry's bloody marys. At 24 ounces each ($8), they set the stage for the restaurant's fetish for BIG.
The average person needs two hands to heft the humongous glass.
Foodies give a big thumbs-up to the "Colossal Shrimp Cocktail" ($12), another eye-popper. Are you familiar with giant Tiger Gulf shrimp? These "crustaceans on steroids" were the size of a child's hand but surprisingly tasty (sometimes bigger isn't better). Kouri Killmeier poaches them in an aromatic white wine court-boullion, which brings out the seafaring flavor. Avid crab cake lovers should skip Harry's offerings however.
Filet mignon stems ($14 on dinner menu) were outstanding: tender steak crusted in cracked black peppercorns served skewered with a fragrant rosemary stem and finished with a brandy-butter sauce.
Seared ahi tuna ($28) was another winner.
Other entrée possibilities ride the range from Colorado lamb loin chops and a stuffed pork rib chop to roasted turkey rolatini, lobster fra diavalo, breast of boneless chicken and a raft of grilled steaks.
Desserts were spectacular — and, again, size matters. It's hard to believe they go for just $6 each. The carrot cake and Blackout Chocolate are the best of the best.

AP on Fox
Without Andy Roddick or Mardy Fish, the U.S. Davis Cup team will count on a roster of John Isner, Sam Querrey and twins Bob and Mike Bryan for its semifinal at Spain on Sept. 14-16.
U.S. captain Jim Courier announced the team Tuesday at the U.S. Open.
Roddick announced last week that he will retire after the year's last Grand Slam tournament. Fish withdrew from the U.S. Open on Monday after a health scare, although Courier said it already had been decided before the tournament that Fish would not be part of the team facing Spain on red clay.
Spain will be missing 11-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal, who will be out at least two more months because of a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee.

Taxpayers footing bill for Sounder commuters
More buses could do the job for less, retired planner argues
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Passengers step off the Sounder train at Everett Station earlier this month. A retired transportation planner contends that replacing the Sounder's north line with more buses would be a more efficient use of taxpayers' money.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald The Sounder train pulls into Everett Station Friday evening.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
The Sounder train pulls into Everett Station Friday evening.
For Sound Transit Express buses, it costs taxpayers $4.33 for each rider between the same destinations.
The standard adult train fare between Everett and Seattle is $4.50. The bus fare is $3.50.
That's why the agency should discontinue the Sounder north line and replace it with more buses, according to a retired transportation planner from Bellevue who crunched the numbers. He based his conclusions on operating and capital costs and ridership figures over the next 30 years.
"If properly informed of the situation, Snohomish County taxpayers should be pressing to stop continuance of Sounder north," James MacIsaac said in a letter to Sound Transit in January.
Sound Transit officials dispute MacIsaac's method -- he includes capital costs in cost-per-rider figures while Sound Transit does not, per industry standard.
Still, Sound Transit's own figures show cost-per-rider at $32 last year without capital costs, compared to about $7 for Express buses systemwide.
One of the biggest expenses for the system is $258 million the agency paid up front to Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad for the permanent right to use the rail lines between Seattle and Everett. MacIsaac counted this payment as a capital cost in his cost-per-rider numbers, along with stations, trains and other costs.
This access to the rail line is a long-term investment that will pay off in the future as the population grows and the roads become more congested, Sound Transit spokeswoman Kimberly Reason said.
"It was really a pioneering move because we have access to that rail line forever. You really can't put a price tag on that," Reason said.
MacIsaac, 70, worked for the precursor of today's Puget Sound Regional Council, a planning organization, in the 1960s. He ran his own transportation planning firm, the Transpo Group, from 1975 to 1995, and worked as an independent consultant afterward.
MacIsaac in January sent a report with all his calculations to Sound Transit. It's been forwarded for review to the agency's Citizen Oversight Panel, a 13-member group that provides input to the staff and board of directors.
Sounder commuter rail and Express bus service both were approved by voters in 1996 as part of the original Sound Move ballot measure.
Last year, nearly 10 times as many trips were taken on Sound Transit Express buses between Everett and Seattle than on the Sounder -- roughly 2.3 million versus 280,000.
The Sounder figure includes an average of 515 riders each way per weekday in 2011. It also includes 48,000 riders who took the train to sporting events on weekends during the year.
By contrast, Sound Transit Express buses between Everett, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Seattle carried about 3,950 people a day each way, according to MacIsaac's figures.
Sounder trains runs eight trips per day, four each way, while the 510 and 512 routes from Everett run a combined 161, according to a Sound Transit schedule.
Those 500-plus-per-day round trip riders on the Sounder line could be moved to new buses and commute for that much less, MacIsaac says.
Add in the fact that the Sounder north line has at times been plagued by mudslides that have forced the cancellation of many runs over the years, and that means an inefficient operation, he says.
MacIsaac said that to make his projections, he used raw data he obtained from Sound Transit through public disclosure requests. Sound Transit supplied only annual ridership and cost figures for the past few years.
Harold Wirch of Brier, who recently retired from the Snohomish County public works department, is on the Citizen Oversight Panel. He said a sub-group has been formed and has just begun examining MacIsaac's report.
"You really need to take a look at everything," he said. "We don't want to jump to conclusions."
Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts, a member of the Sound Transit board of directors, said Sounder north ridership is a legitimate concern, but that it doesn't mean the service should be discontinued.
The trains began running between Everett and Seattle in December 2003. After ridership hit an all-time high of more than 1,200 riders per day in June 2008, it began a slow decline, hitting a low of fewer than 800 per day in late 2010, according to agency figures. That winter the line was plagued by a record number of mudslides.
Ridership rebounded in 2011 and in January of this year, but agency officials are nonetheless discussing how to increase ridership, Roberts said.
"It's a fair question and we need to see if we can't do better. They're trying to set up some discussions and brief us in more detail," Roberts said of Sound Transit staff.
Ridership on the southern Sounder line from Tacoma to Seattle, a longer trip with more stops and nine trains per day each way, is much higher than in the north: about 2.5 million trips were taken last year, an average of nearly 9,500 per weekday. The operating cost per rider last year was slightly more than $10, according to Sound Transit figures.
Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine, also a member of the Sound Transit board, said one way to increase ridership on the north line would be to add parking at the Sounder stations in Edmonds and Mukilteo.
The parking lots are full to overflowing every day, he said. Sound Transit already is planning to add parking in Mukilteo.
"How can you possibly get more ridership if you can't get people down there?" he said.
Either way, Marine said, the $258 million investment for the right to use the rail line has been made.
"Even if we stop it tomorrow, none of that goes away," he said.
MacIsaac says Sound Transit's belief in future ridership doesn't hold up based on its own figures. He notes that the agency predicts 310,000 trips in 2030 -- only a modest increase from today and still far fewer than buses.
Sounder is limited in part by the fact that the railroad so far has not agreed to allow Sounder to run more than four trains per day each way even though the agency paid $258 million. Much of the line is a single track that Sounder and Amtrak must share with freight trains.
MacIsaac said other factors favor buses as well. They make multiple stops in downtown Seattle while Sounder stops only at King Street Station, and the buses generally take less time to travel from Snohomish County to downtown than Sounder.
On the other hand, as noted in a Sound Transit PowerPoint presentation, the state recently received more than $16 million in federal money for mudslide prevention projects. The agency contends that in the long term, population and employment growth will increase demands for all kinds of public transportation.
It's one thing for ridership not to meet expectations, but it's another to conclude that the service should be discontinued, Roberts said.
"It's very easy to take a snapshot in time today," he said, "and say, 'Let's make a decision that'll have an effect 50 years out.'"

Hi, I wanted to post this at the DH buffy boards, but 1, the place is almost deserted and 2, for no reason the validation email does not get send by their system.
SO maybe someone here who is reading Buffy, but more importantly Angel & Faith can help me.
I have read, and asked before, whatever IDW Angel and Spike comics are still in continuity. Because when IDW was doing them, Joss Whedon said that the last Angel series from IDW was the official season of Angel after the show ended. Just like Buffy season 8 was by DH comics.
There is an interview in which current DH BUffy/Angel writers says: "yeah, those stories (IDW) are still cannon".
IDW made a good effort with their last spike series (which just got a TPB from IDW this month) in putting their story as part of the continuity since only in IDW's comic you can get the story about why spike has a space ship with bugs. Said space ship, appeared before in buffy but didnt get an explanation. So IDW got to make the explantion.
But the major problem I have are with Angel & Faith latest issues. WIllow shows up and ask for help from Connor. BUT now, when they go to him with Angel, suddenly all of the AFTER THE FALL season got erased/reboot/reckoned Connor is not running angel investigations, Gunn has 2 eyes again. Lorn is alive, no beta george, or the watcher girl. nothing. Its as if all that after the fall story never happened.
Nobody even explained how angel was twilight while running angel investagation in LA. I always tought that MAYBE the Twilight thing was AFTER IDW's series. But no. with the latest 2 angel & faith comics, everything got erased.
So, anyone reading this and the IDW's can make any sense, is simply IDW out of continuity?
if yes, does that means that sooner or later, DH will make me buy a new "in continuity" after the fall series, in which even spike's ship's origin is retold?
In last month's buffy letter colum in the comic, there is a question to whatever changed to the original plan for season 9. The answer was that the original idea was having buffy in a cosmic adventure. but got scrapped in the last minute for what is currently being published as season 9. So maybe there was in fact another explanation for spike's space ship, that would have made IDW's explanation out of continuity.
I liked what IDW did, Joss said he liked, and that's why he made sure to named it as the official next season for angel. He even is credited in those comics as Executive Supervisor, just like in Buffy's.
I am reading the current Angel & Faith series, but with each issues I feel like DH wants to make me in the future spend money in a story that was already told and I bought (after the fall). In fact that would be the 3rd time, IDW's firt angel series was said to be out of continuity.
and I hear there is an upcoming Spike and Willow ongoing for 2013.
Altought it seems that the current series are not selling as well as the previous Buffy season.
Can someone made any sense of the Buffyverse continuity? any help?

"Safer roads" initiative kicks off in St. Louis
Cyclists and drivers in St. Louis are being asked to do their part to make our roads safer.
Monday morning local leaders kicked off the "Safe Roads for All" initiative. It's a call for drivers and cyclists to follow the rules of the road.
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson says St. Louis ranks 2nd in the state when it comes to cycling-related deaths.
It was a year ago when Susan Scott's son Sam was killed while riding his bicycle. "He was killed by a drunk driver february 2012 coming home from work...it was his main mode of transport."
Sam is among many millenials, young people 25-35 years old, who choose to use their bicycle as their main mode of transportation. The safe roads initiative is a cooperative effort by the people at Trailnet, MODOT, METRO and city police.
Ann Mack, CEO of Trailnet; Ed Hassinger, MoDOT's District Engineer for St. Louis region; John Nations, President & CEO of Bi-State Development Agency – the parent company of Metro Transit; Chief Sam Dotson, Metropolitan Police Department, City of St. Louis and mother Susan Scott, whose son was hit and killed by a drunk driver last year while commuting on his bicycle all stressed the need for cyclists and pedestrians need to understand that they have primary responsibility for their own safety. They said the motoring public also has a responsibility to share the road in a safe and courteous manner with these vulnerable road users.
Trailnet and MoDOT then lead a group of cyclists on a safety ride downtown. Metro Transit workers lead a group of pedestrians over to the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station to take the train downtown.
