maybe you are old school reader of my blogs and you remember when I moved to msmvps.com from blogdrive.com (it didn't support RSS feeds). Now it is time to leave msmvps.com and select new blog provider (if you tried to reach this blog in last 4 days, you know why ;)).
Few weeks ago I run into issue with embedding HTML code that contains flash (Jing videos) - this is not possible due to community server configuration. I started to think about moving to different blog provider - ideally big one that is being often updated and is keeping up to date.
Few days ago msmvps.com stopped working - and it was not available till today, without giving any reasons why and when it will be available again.
So I decided it is time to move my blog to new location. For various reasons I decided for Blogger.com.
So if you like my blog and you want to follow my (professional only) life path, change your registration to http://martinzugec.blogspot.com/
Yesterday I run into very strange problem with one of my friends - Echo. stopped working.
In batch scripts, you use Echo to output something to screen - and of course you can redirect it to file.
By using Echo. (mind the dot), you specify that you want to output empty line. So if you want to create empty file from batch, you can use Echo. > c:\Temp\Empty.txt
Yesterday one script stopped working - Echo. was not working. It was working for everything else (including log files etc), just not for creating files in one folder. I have absolutely NO IDEA how that was possible (and if someone does, share any ideas, I am very curious about this one).
I remembered of less known feature from FSUtil - FSUtil can create for you empty file with predefined size. And it worked:
FSUtil File CreateNew C:\Temp\Empty.txt 0
In my case I used it only as alternative method because Echo. failed, however it can be useful if you want to benchmark performance or do something similar.
For example if I want to create 10 files with 10GB size, I would run following command:
for /l %i IN (1,1,5) Do FSutil File CreateNew C:\Temp\PerfTest\Test%i 1073741824
This would create 5 files with 10GB size. What I like about it that all files are created within miliseconds.
I haven't seen PowerShell for last 2 years, so I was pretty curious what will be my learning curve now - if it will be like riding bicycle (once you know it, you will never forget it) or if I will spend countless number of sleepless hours trying to copy one file.
Well, I was surprised how easy it was to start using PS... I decided that I will try to do everything from PowerShell today - not only some manipulation with files, but also reading emails, replying to messages or listening to music... When I say everything, I really mean it :D And it was not always easy ;)
At first I checked few sources I remembered - first Mow's excellent blog, but also PowerShell Analyzer and tons of other great resources (of course all blogs from MS PS team)... BTW I can highly recommend Top 10 tips for using Windows PowerShell at WindowsDevCenter, basic stuff there, but you can refresh your memory really quickly.
Getting help
I was able to remember how to use PS almost immediately (Jeffrey, if you are reading this, you have done GREAT job on PowerShell, it is very easy to use once you remember few rules). Of course I forgot some bits, but after implementing MSDN (and Google ;)) function on System.Object (as described by Jeffrey 2 years ago) and installing PowerTab from Mow, I had all I needed. Function Get-Member (my favorite cmdlet in PowerShell) was my best friend again ;)
BTW if you want to have also Google option, use following snippet in type definition:
<ScriptMethod> <Name>Google</Name> <Script> if (($global:IE -eq $null) -or ($global:IE.HWND -eq $null)) { $global:IE = new-object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application } $global:IE.Navigate2("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en" + [Char]38 + "q=" + $this.GetType().FullName) $global:IE.Visible = $TRUE </Script> </ScriptMethod>
First command
But of course I started with Hello World - and because Hello World is too easy in PS, I tried something more complex:
BTW I did the code right on first try - but because (due to small experiment I tried before) .NET itself for corrupted, form only blinked and disappeared, so I spend lot of time trying to figure out why it doesn't work (BTW Mow, if you read it, it would be nice if PowerTab could support Enums, I remembered that 5 = Fill only by accident ;))
Oops, mail arrived
While playing with Hello World new email arrived - so I tried to read it - and it was not that easy ;)
After few trial\error tests I came up will really dirty one-liner (of course it will be slow, but I just wanted to see that email without opening Outlook and then just kill Outlook.exe):
$(New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application).GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder("olFolderInbox").Items | Where {$_.Unread -eq $True} | Select Body | Format-List
As I said, this is definitely not something I should be proud of, but it was working ;)
Messenger message
Later on I received message (Live Messenger) from my girlfriend... I spend some time trying to somehow manage messenger from PS, but no luck :( When I saw that window is really blinking and it is obvious that I am behind computer not replying to her messenger, I left PS and replied - I gave up the fight with COM interface of Messenger ;)
PowerShell Community Extensions
Before running powershell I installed PSCX from CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/PowerShellCX) - they are different extensions for PowerShell, some of them are very nice, some of them are not and I already found few problems (especially in CD function, but I didn't really have time to debug and fix it yet). What is really nice that (as far as I see) 2 providers are added - AD and Feeds.
I am thinking about writing some providers for myself, just to test that functionality.
PSCX is nice project, however I think I will really need to have a look and remove stuff I don't want (it slows down PS quite a lot and I already encountered few problems).
Later that day I run into problem when one of my files was locked by something - I wanted to use Handle from SysInternals, but then I figured out that I don't have it locally yet. At first I thought I will try to download that file using PS, but then I realized that SysInternals recently went Live (most sites reported that http://live.sysinternals.com/ is live - it is just web page. More interesting is file://\\live.sysinternals.com ;)).
So I tried to access it directly (cd \\live.sysinternals.com\Tools), however without luck - there is problem in CD.ps1 from PSCX. I wanted to remove CD.ps1, but then I realized I can map it as PSDrive...
I tried New-PSDrive -Name SysInternals -PSProvider FileSystem -Root \\live.sysinternals.com\Tools - and it worked like a charm :) So now I can simply use cd SysInternals:
I think PowerShell is extremely cool - and I think biggest drawback is still cmd host... I spent some time (few months ago) searching for some replacements, however there are none (tools like Console etc are not really what I am looking for). For powershell I remembered I was using PowerShell Analyzer as beta tester, so I downloaded PowerShellPlus (currently in beta) from same author and I am veeeeery very happy :)
Only thing I am missing is global shortcut for Mini-Mode, otherwise it is perfect (and free for non-commercial use).
You will also get nice Code Editor with it:
Well, that was my first day with PowerShell after 2 years :) From now on I can start using it on daily basis and I am really glad I can finally forget about all batch scripts - it was fun sometimes, but I can finally leave DOS past behind and focus on .NET future :)
Some time ago I mentioned that with new Desktop PC I will post more and more on this blog... If you have a look at posts numbers, you can see that it really happened :)
This month I joined company Login Consultants and I really love my new job :) One of advantages is that I am now consultant - which means I could focus on my blog again and post new and new stuff here ;)
Another advantage I can see is that I can finally return to PowerShell after years (and now I need to learn it again ;)).
Just wanted to let you know that in near future you can expect more posts about PowerShell and all SBC (Citrix, TS, Softgrid...) related topics
After Linux-mania we can see that Mac-mania is starting (in my opinion Apple could have bigger success than Linux due to marketing)...
Few years ago everyone was buying iPods - even I bought one for my girlfriend. I really loved iPod itself, but I was never able to get used to iTunes, especially not after I gave a try to Windows Media Player 11 and XBMC ;) For MP3s I used my PDA, old Dell Axim (first version) - it had one huge advantage compared to other MP3 players, enter button was bigger, so when I bound it to Skip song button in WMP, I was able to switch to next song by simply hitting my pocket.
Right now everyone is buying iPhones - but I am still conservative and keep my WM6 device. There are 2 reasons for me:
You ask which feature? Most of the time I am
For calls and sms messages I first need to find person - and this is for me field where WM6 is still superior. For searching through address book WM6 is using T9, which is extremely fast if you get used to it.
For example if I would like to call my girlfriend (Iwy Janeckova entry), I can simply press either 499 (4=i, 9=w, 9=y) or 5263 (5=j, 2=a, 6=n, 3=e)... Also if I am not sure if I should use "v" or "w", I can use 1 (which acts as *). So I could achieve same result witt 4*9 (i, *, y)...
This is really killing feature for me - hope so that either WM will become competitor of iPhone in rest of categories (WM7 maybe, but it's going to be TOUGH challenge) or iPhone will implement something similar for searching (which is more probable)...
Well, I missed searching emails bit - T9 is also implemented there and most people are not aware of this... Most of the time if I want to get email I am searching for I need to type only 3-4 numbers. I wish something similar could be implemented also for desktop Outlook ;)
Sometimes I figure out that solution for some problem I am using is not very common between rest of world, so I will try to share such tricks.
One of them is how do I handle websites that require email address for registration. My favorite way to solve it is to use MailExpire - you simply specify your (real) mail address, when you want to expire temporary mail and that's all.
For specified time period everything that is send to that mail address (for example firstname.lastname@example.com) is redirected to your real mailbox. You can change expiration if you want or immediately kill that mail when it is no longer needed.
I would like to write comprehensive article about symlinks\hardlinks\junctions\reparse points and mount points in future - however that topic is so complex, that I would need to spend few days just to prepare materials etc for this...
So for now all I want to tell you is that symlinks were supported by Windows since Windows 2000 - implementation was done through "reparse points", which is something like special tag on NTFS object that allows special FS filter to process them. Biggest limitations were that explorer was not able to handle them correctly (well, it was not able to delete junction, it deleted also target) and only L2L (local to local) symlinks were supported.
In Windows Vista, symlinks are implemented as new NTFS object - so major change is NOT introduction of concept, but rather possibilities and different implementation.
Major difference is that Vista supports all 4 common scenarios:
I don't have (yet) experiences with R2L and R2R, however I really love L2L (which is possible also in w2k and wxp) and L2R (which is something new, but I love that functionality).
If (for any reason) you want to disable particular scenario, you can use FSUtil .
Syntax is FSUtil Behavior Set SymlinkEvaluation followed by symlink type (L2L etc) and status.
For example if I want to disable R2L and R2R, syntax is FSUtil Behavior Set SymlinkEvaluation R2L:0 R2R:0
It doesn't make sense to spend time describing what is Goosh all about - go there and try it :D
After using it for 2-3 days (I really like minimalistic interface) I even accidentally tried dir few times :)
Well, some people use their blog as reminder - I am one of them ;)
It is loooooooong time ago since I wanted to replaced everything in Windows and I modded everything possible and even impossible - currently I prefer mostly built-in utilities, I don't even have FireFox... However there are some utilities that I really need to have on every computer I must work with for more than few days.
So I decided to put together list of tools\utilities I like to use for easy reference in future. All of them are freeware (except Total Commander):
Command line utilities
fciv -add "<Folder>" -r -bp "<Folder>" | find /i /v "End Time..:" | find /i /v "Start Time:" | sha1
This command will generate hash from specific folder. Because we include -bp, you can also use to to compare 2 folders (fullpath is not hardcoded ;))
GUI Tools
Obsolete (I don't use them in Windows Vista anymore)
Tools I am missing :(
As you can see, it is not really long list, I like to keep my computer as close to default configuration as possible... I would however like to add few tools to this collection, so if you know about any, let me know ;)
First I would like to make big announcement - after almost 3 years I left DHL and joined company called Login Consultants... So after long time I am consultant (again) and you can expect more posts about different problems I encountered during my consultancy career...
And I already encountered one during my first day - working with domain-based environment from non-domain computer. As mentioned before, I really love Vista (it took me however some time to get used to it) so I immediately installed it on my new laptop (that is no longer under corporate policies and rules). And then I realized that customer have (well, of course) domain and my non-domain laptop won't be able to do much (except accessing remote shares and running RDP\ICA sessions).
So I started to investigate and came with solution. I found MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682434(VS.85).aspx and one specific part of the article grabbed my attention:
Log on, but use the specified credentials on the network only. The new process uses the same token as the caller, but the system creates a new logon session within LSA, and the process uses the specified credentials as the default credentials.
This value can be used to create a process that uses a different set of credentials locally than it does remotely. This is useful in inter-domain scenarios where there is no trust relationship.
The system does not validate the specified credentials. Therefore, the process can start, but it may not have access to network resources.
Sounds very interesting - so I started to play with this API and it turned out (to make it very simple) that it acts as token that contains multiple credentials (Logon SIDs):
Notice the Logon SID - there are 2 values
This way you can specify MULTIPLE accounts you want to use. In example below I have 3 different credentials:
Cmd with 3 Logon SIDs
Just be aware, based on my testing each credential should be from different domain, otherwise only FIRST match is used.
I tested this solution today - and it works like charm :) For accessing local PC, I am using my account (MartinNB\Martin), for accessing any domain resources, I am using Domain\Operator account automatically. I tried this with accessing remote shares, MMC console (AD Users and Computers) and also PsExec with implicit authentication (that means no username\password defined).
When I knew what I was looking for, it turned out that my whole research was partially waste of time - this functionality is already included in RunAs itself through /NetOnly parameter :)
To show you example how to use it:
We have company XYZ. They provided account SuperAdmin for me with password SuperPassword.
I will first run command RunAs /NetOnly /User:XYZ\SuperAdmin cmd and specify password SuperPassword when prompt appear. New cmd window will automatically appear.
Now I can simply kill explorer (taskkill /f /im explorer.exe) and run it again (explorer.exe) - my desktop will switch, so from now on I can normally work with XYZ domain AND my non-domain laptop :D
I am just thinking about writing some small utility that would allow you to easily switch between different customers profiles (codename Desperate Consultant)... I wrote to Joe from Joeware if he is willing to add this (NetOnly functionality) to his cool utility CPAU - if he agrees, I will wait for him and build it, otherwise I will create some wrapper around RunAs.
Idea is that you will predefine any credentials and that easily merge that credentials into your session.
Maybe you noticed that one of my projects I would like to finish in summer is also offline shortcuts editor - and you probably think "why some editor when I can build shortcuts using Explorer?"...
Think twice - it's not as easy as it looks like and you will be maybe surprised how many gotchas are there.
Problem with .lnk files is that they are WYSINWYG (What You See Is NOT What You Get). Windows is sometimes too "intelligent" - and it can be very, very annoying.
My blog is primarily focused on scripting, deployment and SBC - so I expect that my audience have also some experiences with this. And most people tried to create some shortcut and copy it somewhere else (you create shortcut to some drive letter on your PC and then copy it to desktop of all users for example). Problem is that together with shortcut you provide more information that you know - you provide also last successful resolution of that shortcut and you won't see this information anywhere in properties of such shortcut.
Let me show you example. You map home drives of your users to H: drive. You want to have shortcut to H:\MyDocs on your desktop. So if you create shortcut to H:\MyDocs, then you just need to distribute it to all your workstations and its done. You open properties of this shortcut and you see that it points to H:\MyDocs, so it should work everywhere, right?
WRONG - don't forget, Windows can be sometimes unpredictable ;) If you open properties of your .lnk file, you can see that it is (still) pointing to H:\MyDocs - however .lnk file also contains information that H:\MyDocs is in fact \\Servers\Administrator$\MyDocs and it will automatically open this folder even from different PC! Quite nasty, right?
And thats not all - try to remove that drive letter and open shortcut - because it remembers that location, it will automatically map H: to \\Servers\Administrator$\MyDocs
If you will try to map something else (\\Servers\Projects) to H: drive, Windows will surprise again - not only it will map that shortcut to different drive (X:), but it will also modify your shortcut so it is automatically changed from H:\MyDocs to X:\MyDocs... Which means that if you have 50 shortcuts pointing to H: drive, 1 accidental click can corrupt that shortcut for you.
You can find many (well, not tons of, but still few of them exists) offline shortcuts editors, however most of them covers only situation I described above (and not of all them covers this). There are some bugs that are (as far as I know) not solved by any existing product - for example if you use variables to define your folders (for example %Programs% for D:\Programs), you WON'T be able to create such shortcut if variable is not defined. When you try to create it, C:\ prefix is automatically appended (so %Programs% is in fact pointing to C:\D:\Programs, which is invalid value).
Well, this was just quick overview why I want to have offline editor where all such bugs will be fixed (btw I already have first version of code and it works correctly there, so it must be something in Explorer itself)... There are tons of other bugs - I will try to spend some time testing different results and share results with you. I am now very sorry Microsoft didn't implement something like XLNK in Windows Vista :(
Well, I know this is quite controversial, but in some cases (specially scripting frameworks) I think it is good idea to use Windows directory to store some settings\configuration...
Why that? Generally you can always divide such solutions to push or pull (and mixed of course) - that means that (if we talk about servers), sometimes you push some data to server (from your workstation\laptop) and sometimes you want server to retrieve information from some central storage\share.
Windows directory is suddenly only directory that is easily accessible both locally and remotely - from remote system you can use \\Server\Admin$ and from server itself you can simply use %WinDir% variable.
I know most people would say that you can use \\Server\C$ and %SystemDrive%, but you never know if C: drive really exists (this is happening in SBC environment when you want to have client's C: drive mapped at C letter).
So for these reasons I like to use Windows directory - and then I make symlink\junction to some other location (so for example C:\Windows\CentralStorage\MyFramework --> C:\MyFramework). That way all required files are easily accessible for scripts (both push and pull) and also for administrators or people working with such environment.
There are of course another ways how to achieve that - create new shares etc, however this method is most reliable and can be easily accessible for all scripts\tools and also for all administrators.
Good news everyone - I just received email from Roger (a.k.a. Kephyr) - he is author of brilliant SystemSherlock. He allowed me to include SystemSherlock in one package with my GUI - so now you can download one package with both GUI and command line interface :)
To remind you, SystemSherlock is snapshoting utility (like Regshot), that can track changes on your filesystem or registry...
Snapshoting is sometimes (often) better than using ProcMon\RegMon\FileMon - you only see real changes, no reads etc... So I prefer snapshoting when I for example want to find where in registry are some changes hapenning.
Compared to RegShot, SystemSherlock is I think much better - you can compare unlimited dumps (not only 1st & 2nd snapshot) and I like GUI more ;)
Download and enjoy :)
P.S.: If you have any feature requests or bugs to report, feel free to contact me, I would like to keep SystemSherlock alive
as you maybe know, this summer I would like to focus on some (of course freeware ;)) projects... So here comes list of ideas that I have and you can vote what are you most interested in:
If you think something is missing or you would like to add anything, just comment :)
Leave comments like VOTE: ADGroupsOverview, HA (suddenly community server have some problems with embedding flash objects, so my voting is not working)
based on feedback I made few changes to Elevator and uploaded modified version:
- Works for all extensions, not only .exe
- No need to modify anything - simply run (elevated) Install.cmd
- Should work from any location on filesystem (including Program Files)
Heya everyone,
Elevator is much more popular than I expected, and spam likes popular sites ;) Also I probably found bug in Live Writer - when I publish anything, it will try to add whole post as comment.
So I had to enable moderated comments here - no worries, I am publishing all of them and I dont filter\alter anything.
I just wanted to let you know that if your comment is not posted, just hold on ;)
Scripting? Sometimes...
Vista? Sometimes...
Deployment? No post for long time...
I was thinking about this for long time and I finally decided to change name of my blog - and because only thing I am sure that won't change (at least I don't expect it) for some time is my name, I am changing blog name to it ;)
If you tried elevator, you probably know that it is running thought context menu:
It is assigned only to exe files (if it is needed, I can extend it)... But sometimes you may want to change shortcut to always run specific action using elevator.
In fact it is pretty easy - just run ElevatorRunner.exe with filename and parameters and you are all set :)
First parameter is executable you want to run and then any command line arguments you want to include.
For example if you want to elevate MMC.exe, simply runs ElevatorRunner MMC.exe and thats it.
To also show example with command line parameters, this is command line I use to run Joost:C:\Data\SkipUAC\ElevatorRunner.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Joost\xulrunner\tvprunner.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Joost\application.ini"
In following screenshot you can see few examples:
It is also pretty easy to modify shortcuts to use Elevator:
Recently I wrote about SystemSherlock Lite - really nice snapshoting tool that supports command line... I also posted small utility for parsing log files.
After that I started to heavily use SystemSherlock - and I must say that it is really really great utility. Problem is that usually you want to have command line AND GUI interface - and SystemSherlock is cmd only :(
So I decided to create wrapper around it - and for me combination of GUI and SystemSherlock is much better snapshoting tool than RegShot or InstallRite...
SystemSherlock GUI consists of 3 different tabs - one for creating snapshots, second for comparing snapshots and third for displaying log files in friendly structure.
Create snapshot
Below is GUI used for taking snapshots:
It allows you to create snapshot configuration, specify output file and also to include exclusion list if you want to ignore particular entries. This is configured snapshot for detecting HKCU and C:\Temp folder:
I tried to implement quite logical interface, so there are feature like auto-suggest or auto-repair of entries (for example HKLM is automatically translated HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)... Another feature is that entry type is automatically detected (you can see it in video - I don't select whether entry is registry or filesystem, it is automatically filled):
Update: Embedded video from Jing doesn't work :( So click on following link instead).
Once you specified what you want to monitor, just click on create button - dump is automatically created. Then do whatever you want - and just click on Create button again. One of SystemSherlock advantages is that it allows you to create as many dumps as you want - you can even compare current dump with one created months ago...
When finished, move to Compare snapshots tab.
Compare snapshots
Below is screenshot of Compare snapshots tab:
It is divided to two parts - on left you can see source dumps and on right target dumps. Source dumps are the ones that were taken first - this is VERY important to understand that source must be always older.
System Sherlock Lite can report unexpected results if you are not aware of this behavior - if you will swap source and target (so target will be older file and source will be newer file), results will be opposite (for example if you deleted folder between snapshots, it will report that this folder was created etc.).
For this reason I implemented some logic to processing. When you select any file on left, ONLY newer files then selected are displayed on right.
Parse logs
When you compare two dumps, differences between these two entries are automatically displayed in GUI.
Current version should be already functional, but I am sure that there will be some issues - after all, this is really first version I just finished. If you encounter any problems or you have some features requests, feel free to post them in comments - if nothing, I will at least respond (but probably also implement such changes).
Advantages compared to RegShot:
Is it even possible?
First of all, I really like UAC and I think it is big step forward. I got it enabled on my developer PC...
But there are few programs that I run pretty often and UAC can be quite problematic - for example Regedit or MMC. I always run at least 2 programs with highest priorities (Total Commander and CMD session), usually under different account (with higher priorities).
Problem with UAC is that there is no exclusion list... So yesterday I decided it is time to find some workaround.
Result is first version of Elevator - program that will add new Elevate me entry to context menu.
Using this you can bypass UAC without disabling it.
To show you example, MMC always require admin privileges and you must also click that you want to run that program (sorry for no video - got some problems with my web cam).
See what happens when we use Elevator.
How does it work?
Few days ago I tried to run some scheduled task that required admin privileges. After some investigation I found out that you can specify that scheduled task can run using highest privileges:
These scheduled tasks don't prompt you with UAC. First idea that came to my mind was - OK, so if scheduled task runs on demand, then it should in fact disable UAC for specific program? I tried it and it worked... So for some time I was using on demand scheduled tasks - for example instead of running MMC I run Schtasks /Run /TN "Elevated\MMC".
This was working fine - problem was that you needed to prepare your tasks. So I started to think about some general parser - something universal, easy to implement and use etc.
So I came with idea of two executables - first will prepare "configuration" (what to run etc.) and second will parse this configuration (but from scheduled task).
I tried this concept - Elevate me context menu points to ElevateRunner, ElevateRunner creates configuration in ElevateThis and then runs scheduled task called Elevator that will parse through this folder and run anything in it. Quite advantage is that neither ElevateRunner nor Elevater needs to run - they are not residents programs and they dont monitor something, so they are pretty quick and perform well (whole installation is about 36k).
Concept is definitely not the best, but it works at least for me and compared to ACT solutions it works for every program. This is definitely not solution for normal end users.
If you will decide that you give it a try, let me know if it works for you... I always love to get some feedback (maybe I will change my utilities to feedbackware ;)).
UPDATE: David Phillippo pointed out there was error during installation (hardcoded path was not only in template, but also in reg files). When I tried to fix this, I accidentaly rewrote whole installation script - so there is no need to modify now anything. Just unpack, run install and new context menu should appear. Please dont forget however that you must run Install.cmd in elevated mode!
Uninstallation is pretty easy - simply run Uninstall.cmd script and then you can delete whole folder.
Be aware that this is pre-alpha version, only proof of concept that it can be done. Because I try to share as much as possible, I will also provide you with elevator:
UPDATE: New version uploaded - it now works for all files, not only exes. If you want to specify some shortcut to always run elevated, check following blog post.

IOWA CITY — Iowa's special team units remain in flux.
The placekicking job is undetermined with senior Daniel Murray returning from an injury this week. Murray will battle sophomore Trent Mossbrucker, who connected on all 10 extra-point attempts in Murray's absence.
"We'll see how everybody kicks this week and go from there," Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said.
Murray and Mossbrucker have battled for three years. They split time two years ago, and Murray took full-time duties last year as Mossbrucker red-shirted.
Freshman Mike Meyer entered the fray as kickoff specialist. In two games, Meyer averages 66.9 yards per kickoff, a 6-yard increase from Murray's kicks last year. Meyer has booted four touchbacks, one behind Murray's total in 13 games.
Ferentz said he'll take all three kickers to Arizona if necessary. The team has a travel roster of 70 players.
"It may not be the most prudent or smartest thing," Ferentz said. "But I don't know how it is with other teams, but with 70 … we can typically get everybody that we need to get on the plane."
Meyer's emergence has created other problems. Three kickoffs against Iowa State sailed for touchbacks, but on three others coverage allowed 40 yards per return.
In two games, opponents average 24 yards a kick return, up from 18.4 yards last year.
Ferentz compared Saturday's effort to 2008 at Minnesota when Iowa gave up 31.4 yards per return on nine kickoffs in a 55-0 win.
"We can't just (say), 'OK, Michael you've got to kick the ball in the end zone,'" Ferentz said. "That's an easy answer. And maybe we assumed he was going to, I don't know. I think we figured we could just jog down there. We probably ought to straighten that out. So it was pretty pathetic the other day. It was really bad."
Ferentz said the team is looking at using starters or making changes on all special team units.
"Throw punt coverage in there, too," he said. "We opened the door on that one, too."
Ex-Hawkeye Prater recovering from injury
Iowa cornerback Shaun Prater is back healthy after a muscle pull cost him the season opener against Eastern Illinois. The same can't be said for his twin brother, Shane, a wide receiver at Iowa Western Community College.
"He tore his ACL back in February or March in the spring but he's running now," Shaun Prater said. "He'll probably be out but if he wants to play, he'll probably play the last five games. He's good. He's fine."
Iowa Western lists Shane Prater as a medical red-shirt for this season, but he red-shirted at Iowa in 2008 when Shaun Prater saw action as the Hawkeyes' nickel back. Shane Prater, a 2009 honorable mention all-region selection, caught 18 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns last year, amassing 152 yards in a game against Ellsworth. He left Iowa before the 2009 season.
Former Iowa quarterback recruit David Blackwell also played for Iowa Western last year and transferred to Bethune-Cookman this fall.
Criner likely to play
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner practiced Monday and is expected to play Saturday after suffering a shoulder sprain last Saturday against The Citadel, the Arizona Daily Star reported.
"I'm good to go," Criner said. "I'm ready to go full-speed."
Criner, a 6-foot-4 junior, hauled in Arizona's only offensive touchdown last year against Iowa. This year, he's caught 12 passes for 236 yards and a score despite missing the second half against The Citadel.
Criner caught 45 passes for 582 yards and nine touchdowns last year.
"His size presents some problems," Ferentz said.
Arizona free safety Adam Hall hurt his shoulder against The Citadel, but his status is undetermined.
"He's a guy who's going to bring the big lick," Arizona co-defensive coordinator Greg Brown told the Daily Star. "We're going to check Adam day to day. If he does not (play), then that's why we recruited (freshman) Marquis Flowers."

TMZ has obtained the last photo of Wesley Snipes as a free man -- at least, for the next three years.
This photo was taken this morning at Bradford Regional Airport in Pennsylvania -- near the federal prison where Wesley surrendered soon after.
We're told dude was waiting in line for a rental car so he could drive himself over to the clink.
Hertz, don't it?
Free Wesley Snipes!!!! Charlie Rangle got a "slap on the wrist" for not paying taxes for 17 YEARS and he wrote the dayum law. That is some straight up, Frakkle Nakkle Bull _ _ _ _!!! We shoulod all petition the "Man" for one o dem 'Censure' things for poor Wesley.
Snipes goes to jail for doing the same things Rangle has been doing to the American people for fifty years. Gets a slap on the wrist and told not to get caught next time.
FREE WESLEY SNIPES!!! i guess this could be a great opportunity to film the third installment of "undisputed 3".
Yep its a shame he isn't in Washington as the man that runs the Treasury had the same issue yet hes not behind bars..
If you actually look it up there are several Senators this past year that had "tax issues" yet they are not held to the same standards as everyone else in the minon class..
Some of you need to go and study history, but, "Oh", I forgot, they don't teach real history nor education in this country. Some of you are missing the boat and I don't have time to educate you on this, so, I will just say this, go on line and pull up and read the Grace Commission Report, that was commissioned by president Reagan. You will find that all income taxes that were collected did not go toward any services but instead went straight to the servicing of the national debt. The next thing you all should do is go and read the UCC code book or the IRS manual and read the definitions for wages, income, and worker. See, the powers that be know that the American people are so dumb and arrogant; they know reading and research are things that most don't do. Once you have done just the few things that I have suggested here, some of you would not make the uninformed, off base, ill conceived and ignorant comments that I am reading. "Oh", one more suggestion, go and pull up Ellen Brown's book, "Webb of Debt", it's online and will help you better understand this, so called, economic crisis that we are experiencing. The reason I say, so called, is because the whole thing is deliberately done.
Torrence dont forget they also need to learn where money actually comes from.
But, if everyone knew this people would really be upset with TPTB right now and want real reform.. But we just keep slaving away...
notice he didn't get convicted of failure to pay taxes.he got convicted of not filing.there is no law stating that you have to pay income tax.it is unconstitutional.google the do***entary called "freedom to fascism".it will explain it really well.
Not fair. Half the *******s in Washington did not pay theirs. That little dude who Ganiter or whatever his name is...the secretary of the treasury...the whole bunch should be in jail.
"Any of you would not pay them (taxes) if you actually thought you could get away with it"
Not in that price range. Million dollar black actor - and may I say - with a big mouth = moving target! Sitting duck. Whatever you want to call it.
Uncle Sam says : BULLS-EYE !!

Meal Planning 101
Why do I meal plan?
- Naturally I am really badly organised, we'd eat beans on toast every single day if I didn't force myself to meal plan.
- It saves me time and money. This pleases me folks.
- We will very easily break down and get a takeaway if we're not in meal plan mode. Takeaways are stupidly expensive. That's not to say we don't get them but we tend to save them for evenings we have friends over (they usually pay and we provide the booze/DVDs.)
Planning the meal plan
Deciding what to eat
- Throughout the week we go through cookery books, surf the web and hunt down interesting, budget recipes. Whilst we do have staple meals, we like to shake it up a bit so we don't get bored and find ourselves calling for a takeaway. Recipes we like the look of go into a 'To Try' folder, either a physical folder which we keep with our recipe books or a bookmark folder on our computer. If we use it and like it we put it into our 'permanent collection' regular recipe binder, if we don't like it we throw it out and if we're unsure it goes back in the 'To Try' folder with a red sticker on it. If we try something with a red sticker on it again and still aren't sure about adding it to our 'permanent collection' we bin it.
- When we use something up during the week we make a note of it straightaway on our kitchen whiteboard so it can be added to the shopping list.
- A lot of our meal plan is based around our main Sunday meal. We try to buy a large joint of meat or medium sized bird and do something a bit different with it each week. We then use the leftovers to make lunches for Monday - Wednesday and evening meals for Monday and Tuesday depending on the size of the joint.
Making the shopping list & plan
- We work out which days we're out in the evening, which days we're having lunch with a client etc. so we know how many meals we need to make in the home.
- We map out firstly, what we're going to eat for supper every day and put it onto our white board. We usually make enough to feed 3 people rather than 2 and divide the left over portion for lunch (with salad and fruit). Then from there we make a list of ingredients we need for the meal, checking cupboards, freezer and our inventory first to see if we have anything in our stocks.
- After we've added the ingredients to our shopping list we save it to both of our phones. We can add to the list as we go and both of our lists sync so we both have an updated list to add to should anything pop into our head when we're out on the go. We find it easier to have the list on our phones and on a phsyical list because scraps of paper go missing in the bottom of my handbag or on my desk.
- Occasionally we'll spend a Saturday cooking up stews, lasagnas and soups. We freeze them and include them on the meal plans for the days we know we're going to be late home or really busy. Really busy for us = not wanting to do more than warm up some stew and eat it with a husk of bread.
- We have a weekly food budget we like to stick to, so we try to average out our meal price across the week taking into account any expenditure outside of the home.
Shopping for meal planning
Where to shop
- We've tried a few different methods and honestly none of them are totally perfect so we tend to switch about but for the moment we're shopping online for general groceries, buying meat from the local butcher and having our fruit and vegetables delivered from a local grocer.- Shopping online may not always be the cheapest method, however I'm a sucker for buying things I don't need when wandering around the aisles. We're not loyal to one shop, we hunt down discount or free delivery codes and shop at which ever shop will save us the most money.
- Shopping around shop to shop for different products works for some and not for others. We've tried going to one shop for one thing and to another for another product when we know it will be cheaper, however where we live large shops are fairly spread out and the cost in time or petrol would negate the savings we make at the till. If you live in an area with shops very close to each other this might make great sense but for us driving 3 miles between different large supermarkets or discount stores to save 10p makes no sense at all.
When we shop
- We finalise our meal plan and shopping list on a Wednesday and do our shop with which ever supermarket has the best discount codes. We have our supermarket delivery arrive on a Friday evening or Saturday morning. And our veg box arrives on Thursday. We do a big Aldi shop once a month stocking up on tinned foods, oil, washing powder and other cheap bulk items that we like.- We visit the butcher on Saturday to pick out out joint of meat for Sunday and any other meat we might need for the week. We try to have a lot of meat free meals meaning we don't spend too much at the butchers.
- We never, ever shop when we're hungry. It's an old, worn out tip but honestly it works.
Putting the meal plan into action
- Stick with it. You'll soon find your evenings feel longer and less stressful.
- Mix it up. Look if it says spag bol on the meal plan and you really, really don't want it - mix it up. Use the mince to make a chili, cottage pie or lasagna. We always keep a stock of different pasta or and beans in so the main element of a meal can be transformed. We only allow for mixing it up once a week (but rarely do it) or it just gets out of hand.
What do you need?
Put the time into work out which meals will work for your family on which days. You'll also need to spend time putting together shopping lists etc. However you'll soon get into the swing of it and you'll find it takes hardly any time at all. Plus you'll spend less time at the other end when you're making your meals.A white board
We employ a few around our house, one of my favourites is this one which has days of the week on it and this one which doesn't. I'm sure it is perfectly easy to meal plan without one but I think it makes it a seamless process.P.S. Do you meal plan?

► Hsp90::client interactions quantitatively surveyed in mammalian cells ► Hsp90 binds 60% of kinases, 30% of E3 ligases and 7% of transcription factors ► Cdc37 acts as a kinase-specific adaptor cochaperone ► Within kinases, thermal stability is a major binding determinant
HSP90 is a molecular chaperone that associates with numerous substrate proteins called clients. It plays many important roles in human biology and medicine, but determinants of client recognition by HSP90 have remained frustratingly elusive. We systematically and quantitatively surveyed most human kinases, transcription factors, and E3 ligases for interaction with HSP90 and its cochaperone CDC37. Unexpectedly, many more kinases than transcription factors bound HSP90. CDC37 interacted with kinases, but not with transcription factors or E3 ligases. HSP90::kinase interactions varied continuously over a 100-fold range and provided a platform to study client protein recognition. In wild-type clients, HSP90 did not bind particular sequence motifs, but rather associated with intrinsically unstable kinases. Stabilization of the kinase in either its active or inactive conformation with diverse small molecules decreased HSP90 association. Our results establish HSP90 client recognition as a combinatorial process: CDC37 provides recognition of the kinase family, whereas thermodynamic parameters determine client binding within the family.

The Manchester United striker played all 90 minutes of the Red Devils' victory over Aston Villa on Saturday but will not feature in the midweek friendly against Germany
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has pulled out of the Netherlands squad that will face Germany in an international friendly on Wednesday with a thigh injury.Van Persie played the full 90 minutes of United's 3-2 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday but has now dropped out of Louis van Gaal's party for the midweek game.
12/1 | Netherlands are 12/1 to beat Germany 2-0 with bet365 |
Wolfsburg striker Bas Dost will replace Van Persie in the squad for the fixture. Van Gaal has been forced to leave four other players out of his plans for the match in Amsterdam.
The encounter will come too soon for goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, midfielder Kevin Strootman and attackers Luciano Narsingh and Jermain Lens, so RKC goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet and Feyenoord trio Jordy Clasie, Ruben Schaken and Stefan de Vrij have been called up.
Although Dost has been summoned to replace Van Persie, the prolific forward's injury is likely to open the way for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to start at centre forward.
The Schalke star has scored 34 goals in his 59 appearances for his country, which compares favourably to Van Persie's record of 31 goals in 71 international matches.
Manchester United are back in action on Saturday when they play Norwich City in the Premier League at Carrow Road.

Alaska Airlines will use biofuel on 75 flights
This month, some Alaska Airlines flights will be flying on used cooking oil as they travel from Seattle to Portland and Washington D.C.
Flights taking off this month, 75 in all, will use a 20 percent biofuel blend. The company reports the fuel was hard to find, and it cost nearly six times as much as regular jet fuel.
Keith Loveless is the vice president of corporate affairs for the airline. He says the purpose of running some flights on biofuel is to call attention to the larger need for more aviation biofuel.
"The reason we're doing it is simply to communicate to the supply chain and government that if we can get an affordable supply of biofuel, we'll use it. We'll buy it. It's not all that esoteric from an operational perspective. We can make it happen. It's just really a question of an affordable supply," Loveless said.
He says the extra cost of this month's flights will not be passed onto customers.
Loveless said biofuel burns cleaner than petroleum and offers airlines insurance against volatile oil prices. A recent industry study concluded the Pacific Northwest has the feedstock, infrastructure and political will to launch an aviation biofuel industry. But Alaska Airlines had to get its biofuel from Alabama through a broker in the Netherlands.

ANC Satisfied with Bi-elections results
Jessie Duarte, 5 Mar 2009
The African National Congress (ANC) is satisfied with the results ofyesterday's by-elections in which it retained all but one of the seats it
won in the 2006 local government elections.
While by-election results are not considered to be a reliable indicator of
broader trends, the ANC is pleased that its average share of the vote across
all 21 by-elections is higher than in the last round of by-elections in
With the exception of Ward 3 in Imbabazane in KwaZulu Natal, which the ANC
lost by 25 votes, the ANC won in all the wards it held previously.
The ANC will build on the campaign work done in all these wards, to ensure
that it consolidates its support and increases its share of the vote in
these areas in the national and provincial elections on 22 April Back to top

Researchers now believe that low to moderate drinking is "safe" during pregnancy.
A study conducted by Danish researchers suggests that women who consume one to eight alcoholic beverages a week would not cause harm to their child.
The study, published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, did not find any signs of neurological or developmental effects from drinking in children up to the age of five.
Women in the UK are encouraged not to drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy while those who do should limit it to one or two per week.

Judged: 4 2 2 Murray Davis is not so much a "Salesman for Christ" as he is a "Profiteer of Christ" making Jesus's sacrife on no effect on those who desperately need it. There will be a special place in hell for the likes of Davis, and all others who profit at the expense of Christianity. I'm sure that when Islam stares him in the face, he will have found some other "state of Grace." I'm sure Murray Davis already has plans to benefit himself under Islam. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Yes sir.. This was well written and on point! I first learned about Davis through a co worker who has been 'drinking the kool aid' it's sad |
Judged: 2 2 2 Our text for today is Proverbs 28:17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. and Proverbs 26: 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Only a fool is deceived by a fool with an idle heart. |
Wow very good post 'Jesus saves' I too have a colleague that follows this man and he even had to show his W4 to the church to ensure he is paying 10% |
One of my coworkers is a member of this church. He is one of the most unchristan people I have to endure for a long time.The frighting part is that he is a mentor in one of their programs for the youth of the church. People please be aware of the danger this church represents. Pray for them that they may see the light and walk with Jesus Christ
Jesus said, many will come in my name. I cannot imagine what torment await those who merely profit by imitating the teachings of Christ.
United States |
I have no idea who this person or "church" is, but what does he do? Is he like "rev" peter popoff on tv? |
Most of these preachers are nothing but profitters. They tell u its ok to live in what u have, make the best of it they say. But their hindends live in luxury thanks to ur contributions.I dont buy it. I believe in God but not man. My poor husband believes every word he says. I know u can seek forgiveness for anything and he has turned his life around but like anything else they become power hungry. Alot of so-called christians sure dont display being one by their actions.

Judged: 1 Maury Davis is a murdering sack of Shultz! |
Saint Paul, MN |
Judged: 1 1 You are an idoit. I have been at Cornerstone for more than 10 years and this is not true. YOU ARE AN IDIOT! |
Saint Paul, MN |
Judged: 1 You may work with someone who goes to Cornerstone and works with the teenagers who is a hypocrite, but I can assure you that if the church knew that this person did not live a Christian life, they would not be in leadership. The thing that we all need to remember is that no one is perfect and being a Christian does not mean that you make the right choice all the time. We are all still human, but we should strive to be more like Christ. We are all still imperfect, even as Christians. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Then why does he not speak of Jesus as being our personal Savior? Why has he thrown people out of his church? Almost everyone believes in God .... even Satin. Why did he not speak on the power of the Resurection of Christ who die for our sins? My husband goes there every Sunday and has never been told how important it is to get in the Word ... reading his bible. Maury is a showman, and a profitable one at that. What does he giv to the poor, the needy, the ones that need to build a "relationship" with God? |

Just a simple question. I've read a lot about these and their supposed healing and uplifting powers. What I am wondering is, does anyone here use them and do they work?
Of course I don't think to just listen to them and instantly have my mind completely opened or anything like that. I figure one would have to sit and meditate while listening to them and gradually over time feel them helping with the natural process.
Anyway, I am just curious about your views on them and their helpfulness, if any at all.
took me more than a week on and off of listening to them it isn't instant normally and when it hit me IT REALLY hit me. I could feel tingly feelings on top of my scalp (like energy swirls) wasn't painful at all kinda itchy and no i don't have lice or any other parasites lol .... and now that they are, usually always activated, also raw foods help kickstart the sensations as well ^_^. being in a good mood also:D

Dialene 4 - holy cannoli bat woman ! You totally feel this product working. And if you take it and then go to the gym, take towels !!!!!!!! You will sweat like your in a sauna! I love it for my cardio too ! It smells good too.
DCP - This product does not smell good, LOL I can only take down one pill at a time because of the size as well, they have a tendancy to get stuck ! Drink lots of fluids when using it ! I cant say I feel it because it is not a product that you really feel the effects. I have no cramps or anything like that so far and really do not expect any as some MP users may experience.
RapidCuts- This is the product that gets me going in the morning ! I do not take it twice a day, I may later down the road though. It lasts a long long time ! Very clean energy, no jitters, great focus and well being is felt right away.
Between my diet and the 3 supps above I have lost 3 pounds in 4 days. I also want to note that my carbs dropped ALOT so Im sure alot of that is water right now.
NeoVar & IGF-2 I feel that Banaba ! I am experiencing all day pump effects on these two products. So fat I cannot say any strength gains as it is much too soon.
Xtend - I am using Xtend by itself during training now. I had previously mixed it with Sizeon, which was great but now have a different creatine product so will use the Sizeon again after my cut cycle.
I can also say that my hunger pains are not bothering me.......... What hunger pains ? This I am suprised at. But with the combo above along with Special Tactics I am doing great !
I'll be watching ya Fit. I'm sure you'll rock da house

I first interacted with the ultra legend known as Tony Portera back in 2010 while preparing for my very first 100 mile ultramarathon, the inaugural Beast of Burden Summer 100. My friends Marco Cheung, Rick Thiounn (opted for the 24 hour race), & I had signed up and had no idea the torment and indescribable journey we were about to embark on, a distance that is a mere jog for Tony. On the Marathon Maniacs calendar, I noticed that Tony had also registered and contacted him. We met up pre-race and he was supportive through out the race. Tony went on to finish the 100 in an impressive sub-24 time of 22:47:14 while none of us (Marco - DNF at Mile 62.5, Rick - 50 miles, & I - DNF at Mile 93) made it up to 100 miles.
And now, as the very first female runner of RunKino.com monthly "Inspirational Runners" feature, I present to you :

Favorite Quote: "The episodes in life that last so many years in memory are often measured in fleeting minutes as they happen. In minutes, this won't last very long, but the memories sure will."
pre-race at the inaugural Beast of Burden Summer 100.
1.) Describe your life before running.
I started running in 2004 at the age of 33, but it wasn't until 2008 when I became serious about it and, in particular, the 100-mile distance. I had a fairly normal childhood, traveled a bit as my family moved here and there due to Dad's job, went to college, then law school where I met my best friend and wife, and had two amazing daughters.
2.) What prompted you to start running, and how old were you at the time?
2004. I was 33 and 205 pounds (today I'm typically between 160-165 pounds). My oldest daughter had just turned 3 and my youngest was going to be 2 later in the year. I drank a lot of beer, especially on Saturday's and Sundays during the football season. I just wanted to get in shape and be active as my kids grew up, but I had no idea it would balloon into what it has become today. There were two guys in my neighborhood that were into running – Ira Zaroff and Peter Hirsh. We started meeting every morning before work for training runs. Peter was a seasoned marathoner. Ira and I were just starting out. So, we picked a marathon and decided to go for it. Ultimately, Ira and I began reading about ultrarunning...Dean Karnazes book, Ultramarathon Man. And I heard about this race called the Badwater Ultramarathon. Then the fun began.
3.) Why do you love running and what keeps you motivated to continue running?
There are so many things that I love about running. It is so serene, providing hours and hours of time for reflection. It is challenging, and tests the limits of human endurance, pushing the human mind and body in unique ways. It can be so defeating at times, but yet so rewarding and educational. Running brings out a hodgepodge of emotions – anxiety, elation, despair, disappointment, hope – but, ultimately, it is a great facilitator of the triumph of the human spirit.
What keeps me motivated to continue running? For one, the desire to continue to have the great learning experiences that running has already provided. And then, there are the people (many have become friends) that I have met through running. Their accomplishments, their drive, their unwillingness to accept defeat and to always move forward.....they are all heroes to me, and they keep me motivated to always strive to be better – better in running and better in life.
4.) What running gear and nutritional products do you prefer?
On the gear side, I'll try just about anything. Brooks and Saucony have been my shoes of choice for the last several years. Drymax Socks. Nathan handhelds. The new UltrAspire packs looks great, but I haven't gotten my hands on one yet. On the nutrition side, primarily Hammer Nutrition products – Hammer Gels, Heed and Perpetuem. For a recovery drink, I really like Ultragen.
5.) Describe your first marathon experience and did you envision running any more marathons after that?
It was the 2004 Twin Cities Marathon. I was 33. I loved it and hated it at the same time, but was ecstatic when I crossed the finish line (4:07:33). At the time, it was the most difficult thing I had done in my life from an endurance perspective. When I finished, I'm certain I said "no mas"....but I would do 4 more in 2005 before getting into ultrarunning.
6.) What are your Top 5 favorite races, marathon-distance or longer, and why?
For me, there really is only one - the Badwater Ultramarathon. It is grueling, deflating, and full of despair, yet it is so unexplainably life-affirming, rewarding, reflective, and full of triumph. It is a race and a place where the ordinary can become extraordinary. A place where you can drift off into a state where you are one with your surroundings. The event is so well organized.....the race staff and volunteers are amazing and provide an experience like no other I have seen.
2009 Badwater Video from Tony Portera on Vimeo
3 more.....I'd probably go with Umstead 100, Javelina 100 and the Walt Disney World Marathon. Umstead and Javelina simply because they are such well put-on events with great people (and I've done quite well at each). Disney because my family is a Disney family. We went 7 years in a row (missing for the first time in 2012) and just love it there.
7.) What is your proudest running accomplishment?
You would probably think I would say finishing the Badwater Ultramarathon – I've done so 3 times (2009, 2010 and 2011). Well, actually, it is not finishing it but the honor of being accepted 3 times that I consider my proudest accomplishment, followed of course by completing the race. Also, in January of 2011 I, along with friends Chris Roman and Jarom Thurston, ran the entire length of Brazil's Caminho Da Fe (about 340 miles, including running the Brazil 135 in 55 hours straight in the middle) to raise funds and awareness for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. That was an amazing experience for an amazing cause.
8.) Describe your biggest setback in running and how did you bounce back from that experience?
I'll go with obstacles, the biggest of which for me is finding the time to "fit it all in" while being a good husband and father. It is often tough to try to find time in the day for everything. Wake-up is around 4 AM on week days...training done by 6:30 AM...then off to work an hour later.
9.) Who have been influential in your running career?
10.) Do you use running to give back in any sort of way and are there any particular runners that you mentor?
Feel free to add anything else, give thanks, or shout outs.

Things I liked:Solid and stable even at max extension. Forward or backward folding legs. Legs are detented but can lock extension between detents as well. Nice rubber feet. Lots of extension. I think the square legs prevent wobble at full extension. Things I would have changed:Add canting for easy leveling of gun. More aluminum to lighten (but its not that heavy to begin with). What others should know:The $280 Atlas has cant and panning but the legs wobble. This $45 tripod doesn't have cant but the legs don't wobble. Things I liked:Easy to use. Folds forward or backward. Has quick detach mount and a sling swivel mount which means I can use it on two rifles. Folds with a push of the button on each side. One leg folds at a time. All metal construction with a rubber boot over outer leg segment.
Height is perfect for my Condor SS. I am using a Hawke 3/8" to weaver adapter on the Condor SS and there are no clearance issues with this combination. Pans, but is a little stiff. Not a problem because I rarely shoot at running targets. What others should know:I have owned a Parker/Hale $375 bipod and this bipod is just as stable and does everything the $375 one did for a fraction of the price. As far as I am concerned this is by far the best bipod out there for the money! Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers
