Good Times and BBQ Highlight Alumni Weekend For Baseball
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Close to 40 former players were in attendance this past week as the Jacksonville University Baseball team hosted its annual alumni weekend event.
On the field, the 2014 JU Baseball team came out on the winning side of things on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon beating the alumni 11-1. With one of the biggest turnouts in years, the 2014 team got to see some of JU's all time greats close up. Among the former JU greats in attendance were New York Mets starting 2B Daniel Murphy, Minnesota Twins 3rd round pick Adam Brett Walker, and last year's 1st round pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers Chris Anderson. Dan Gulbransen (Astros) and Matt Tomshaw (Twins), and former Angels minor leaguer Gordie Gronkowski, whose brother Rob plays TE for the New England Patriots were also on hand.
"It was a great day for JU Baseball. My staff did a tremendous job in preparing all week to get our facility in tip top shape," said Head Coach Tim Montez.
"Our team did some good things today, but what I was most proud of was the energy they showed from start to finish. We have a long ways to go in being ready to compete in the spring vs. a top 20 schedule. We are short in some areas, but I can guarantee one thing and that is these young men will be prepared, play fundamentally sound baseball and will do the best to their abilities day in and day out."
The day was capped off by a country style barbeque and auction where all the proceeds from the evening will go straight to capital improvements within the baseball program. Former JU standout and current JU president Tim Cost was in attendance with his wife Stephanie, along with Director of Athletics Brad Edwards who starred in the NFL.
The event was held in the CP Cost Pavillion which serves as the JU hitting and pitching facility. Jacksonville's own celebrity radio sports talk host Dan Hicken handled the live auction flawlessly, which was highlighted by some great trips, and framed signed jerseys from Murphy and Rob Gronkowski.
Over 100 additional silent auction items included a signed Pete Rose bat and a mint condition Greg Maddux rookie card.
"Our committee which was spearheaded by Sharon Murphy (mother of JU alums Daniel and Jonathan) did a fantastic job in such a short period of time," Montez added. "I truly appreciate all of their hard work. This annually event will be held in conjunction with the alumni game and will only get bigger and better each year."

I had an imperial pint served to me at the Fishbowl. It was too firkin cold but I was able to make the most of the circumstance. Mudshark starts with a compact head that holds itself well enough to retain elevation contours -- an elegant distinction. The individual bubbles are actually too small to see with the naked eye. The net result is heavy concentric lace rings that descend along the glass, making for a visually pleasing experience.
Mudshark is opaque black with a faint aroma only perceptible upon agitation. Within this faint aroma lies a broad greenness reminiscent of an active conservatory. The taste harkens to chicory and also somehow to walnut. The mouthfeel also suggests a glint of walnut, as it is a bit dusty to the tongue.
This is not a bad porter but neither is it an especially charismatic brew, certainly not by the standards Fish Tale has set with its other products. The body is thin and the flavor stunted. Im a big fan of Fish Tale and Ive lived in Olympia for years. But Id like to see Fish revisit their recipe for this one.

3.28/5 rDev -12.5%
Appearance Dark with a slight reddish hue and a pure white head that looked really cool.
Smell The light chocolate and dark yeast aroma was very pleasing to the nose. I could also pick up a little coffee.
Taste The scents from the nose found their way into the taste. The roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate were pretty evenly matched, with the coca powder winning out in the end There was also a slight sour tang though that threw things off a bit.
Mouthfeel This was the Porters weak point, IMO. The light carbonation was cheap and fizzy, and the body was so thin I wouldnt even call it medium.
Drinkability This went down OK, but the sub-par mouthfeel and that sour tang ruined the effort.

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a barely translucent black, much darker than most Porters and about the same as some Stouts, with about an inch of dark tan head that had OK retention and light lacing.
The aroma had a solid roasted scent with just a hint of coffee in the background. The flavors also were solidly roasted malt, as expected, and roasted notes had a nice lingering finish.
The body was a bit thinner than typical for the style. Drinkability was very good, having a couple isn't a chore. Overall, a nice, pleasant, solid beer. An easy go-to choice when I'm in the mood for this style.

Fish Brewing : Mud Shark Porter
LOOK: Pours a dark brown with about an inch of tan foam. Leaves lace down the glass. Appears to be a hearty porter.
SMELL: Roasted malts, chocolate and coffee.
TASTE: Roasted malts with some coffee and char giving way to a citrusy hop character. Moderately bitter, with a lot of dark malt character.
FEEL: Smooth and creamy feel with a medium carbonation.
OVERALL: A solid sessionable brew from the Fish lineup. Kind of reminded me of a black n tan as there seemed to be different grainy flavors. I thought this was enjoyable for what it is.

A - Dark brown with a nice tan head that last awhile while leaving nice lacing on the glass.
S - Nutty, roasted and a bit of coffee.
T - All of the usual porter flavors. All are pretty mild and balanced.
D - Good carbonation and a heavier body.
O - Nice Roasty malty coffee porter. Better than I was expecting.

On tap at an area watering hole, Prospectors Bar & Grill in Airway Heights. Served in a pint (room temperature) glass.
Pours a black walnut color and is opaque. a bubbly beige head forms, but is not real resilient. It fades away quickly.
The smell is faint. Roasted (charcoal) grain and coffee notes.
The taste is a roasted malt flavor, smoke, charcoal, coffee and dark chocolate.
Mouth feel is smooth full bodied.
This is a nice easy drinking porter, but somewhat filling. A real bargain though at $2.50 a pint.

On-tap at the brewpub in lovely Olympia.
This beer appears a clear dark cola hue, with a thin cap of off-white head, which leaves some webbed lace in its wake. It smells of caramel malt, milk chocolate, and earthy hops. The taste is nutty chocolate malt, a bit of lactic sourness, and leafy, earthy hops. The carbonation is moderate to low, the body medium weight, and somewhat weirdly clammy. It finishes fairly dry, a root-like chocolate essence still pervading.
A nice, traditional porter, the sourness quotient agreeable in its subtlety, and even tempered overall.

Black color, medium tan foamy head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee and a touch sweet. A medium bodied porter. Deeply roasted malts, nicely hopped. Nice mellow roasted malt flavor, very smooth. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter, toasted malts.

Enjoyed from a growler during Super Bowl XLVI. Poured near-black with a finger of dark tan head. Mild, roasty aroma of coffee and hints of chocolate.
Moderate carbonation and a full, creamy mouthfeel. Roasty malt up front with hints of caramel sweetness and a nice mix of coffee and bitter chocolate. Very dry on the finish.
Light, easy-drinking porter. Not too sweet, but not excessively bitter or coffee-dominated either.

from notes, came across this on tap randomly at Bottlescrew Bill's in Calgary
A - very dark brown, thin mocha head left pretty nice lacing
S - rich roasty malt and coffee notes, semi sweet dark chocolate, light sweetness
T - much like the nose, the roasty and espresso malts dominate, dark chocolate and silky vanilla, some toffee sweetness comes through on finish
M - rich yet appropriate level of thinness, fairly chalky finish
O - a nice surprise to come across, has all the characteristics of a solid porter, easy drinking, I hope to come across this again

Served in a nonic at the brewpub, Mud Shark is pitch black with garnet edges and a light tan head that leaves tons of thick, foamy lace.
Smell is rather soft, lightly roasted chocolate.
Taste is also lightly roasted chocolate, semi-sweet, dry and soft, but well balanced and tasty.
Mouthfeel is light and crisp, with a nice level of carbonation.
Drinkability was high for me, as I really enjoyed this porter and could have drank them all night. Like all the other Fishbowl brew's I've had, well made although a bit forgettable, with varying degrees of tastiness, Mud Shark being on the higher side.

The first Porter I ever had and I am glad it was Fish brewed!
Poured a black color with a medium tan foamy head. Nose of mostly chocolate and earthiness. A good medium bodied porter with decent hops and good backbone. Pretty chewy and def organic. Nice mellow roasted malt flavor, very smooth. Finish is subtle cocoa and roasted malt.

I've had this on-tap numerous times at the Viking in Spokane. I've also drank this at the Fishbowl on the only occasion (so far) that I've been there. While it's probably been given it's name due to the overall nautical theme of Fish Brewing Company, I can't help but think of the legendarily infamous Led Zeppelin mudshark incident (if you know what I'm talking about you should be ashamed of yourself;).
This is a deep, dark brown with a good sized tan head. The head takes a couple of minutes to drop. Moderate amount of lace left behind, along with a very modest foan cap sitting atop the beer.
The smell is of roasted malt and coffee, with a nice dark chocolate cloak thrown around it. Bitter, but slightly sweet as well.
The taste of this is nicely balanced between the bitter, roasted apsects of this and a mild sweetness that keeps the bitterness from being too dominant. I think this edges Black Butte in the repeatably drinkable department.
I think I'd prefer this to be a little thicker in the mouthfeel department. It's a little bit too fizzy for a porter. This is pretty much my only gripe about this beer (besides the fact that it's not bottled anymore).
Why this is no longer bottled, I have no idea. I asked the barmaid on duty at the Fishbowl, she replied, "Yeah we don't like to bottle that one," and left for the kitchen. I was never given an opportunity to ask why that was the case. This makes an excellent session porter. I prefer it to the usual Pacific Northwest porter standby, Deschutes Black Butte (though I like it as well). If only I could find it more often on the east side of Washington, I'd be a happy man.

This 12 oz. unlabelled bottle was brought to me courtesy of jcwattsrugger, from his trip to the NW. As I understand it, it is not normally bottled - Thanks, John!
Pours very dark brown with a thin, tan head that becomes a lasting patch.
The smell is of dark caramel/toffee with some coffee/chocolate notes and a touch of peppery spiciness.
The taste is of toffee/caramel - chocolate and cream - An earthy, slightly nutty, background has a touch of pepper. The roasted character in the dry finish balances out the malty, chocolatey sweetness well.
Creamy, rich and smooth, this is a well-crafted American porter. A good example of the style. Very drinkable and enjoyable!

This porter has a ncie thick body and good head to go along with its nice dark brown color. Chocolate and some roasted character to the flavor with a nice, non-harsh bittering. A must try if you are on the west coast.

Had a few samples and settled on a pint at the fishbowl brewpub.
A - Deep brown with dark shades floating in and out after the pour. Highlights of garnet topped with a small tan head.
S Cocoa and malted milk odors with noticeably roasty odors and a gentle berry scent.
M - Full, roasty, dry and on the light side of medium bodied. Great carbonation with a clean finish
T - Dry, roasty with creamy cocoa and lightly citrus hop flavor with a nutty but mellow crystal malt essence. Starts with an excellent chocolate malt and hints at piney spruce hops when the malt recedes sweet and hoppy are balanced pleasingly with a spicy java essence.
D - Highly drinkable and balanced with accent on malt up-front. Nice blend of hops to compliment the malts and gentle
effervescent mouthfeel. A bit dry but certainly worth trying - a nice Northwestern american porter.

The great gun debate
Gun control agenda narrows as skepticism grows
Senators seek tougher gun background checks for mentally ill
Some US communities seek to make gun ownership mandatory
Letter: Gun cartoon draws fire
Letter: Gun prohibition won't work either
Letter: Liberals distort gun facts
Letter: Lop off head of gun monster
Column: More ammunition for gun debate
Letter: Promoting hysteria in gun-control debate
Letter: Gun ammo column was 'spot on'
Armed Hanover walk peaceful, no permit needed
A deeper divide: The gun control debate after Newtown
There is no argument that America has a gun problem. No matter how many studies, statistics or mass killings, there will always be individuals who find comfort and even patriotism in owning guns. Most have a primitive, juvenile, single-minded interpretation of the second amendment which, through many years of effort by the pro-gun lobby, have managed to amend the amendment by simply never mentioning the preamble.
We have allowed this interpretation to flourish and now find ourselves with millions of humans with millions of guns, slowly killing ourselves without any constitutional constraint. This paradigm will continue. Just like the problem with illegal immigrants, we cannot go back to the beginning by sending millions back or taking back guns. The only option now is a dedicated effort by Americans to understand that owning even one gun creates huge responsibilities.
It is undeniable that because of inadequate background data and timely availability, many guns are bought by humans with serious mental problems. Indeed, it could be said that nearly anyone driven to buy a gun has some level of mental paranoia, formed by a possible pre-conceived future event. This is why a national background data base is needed, available at any time in any state.
Every state must be required to provide mental health programs that respond timely to requests from citizens for help. When individuals are identified by police or medical offices as needing possible mental help, action should be immediate. In every state, the mental health programs are grossly inadequate and should comply to new national standards, with upgraded facilities, personnel and follow up procedures. In addition, to decrease the gun glut, a national buy back program offering generous rewards is needed.
These proposals should be financed and maintained by a surcharge on any future gun sales, specifically dedicated to the development and maintenance of the national background data base and buy back program. Also, just as tobacco companies were required to provide substantial funds, by litigation, gun makers should also be tasked to provide funds to help control another true national health hazard.
But, to insure that gun owners never forget the huge responsibility they are undertaking with a gun purchase, every gun show should be required, by law, to display prominently, a 10-by12-foot collage of all 20 of the angelic faces that were mutilated at Newtown.

We've been around for a while. Long enough to understand where digital has come from, smart enough to see where it is now and hopefully futuristic enough to have at least some idea of where it's going.
We are part of the Extension family, a leading marketing & creative agency.
We share offices in South Melbourne. Some of us love cats, others hate apples. There are differences, there are similarities but together we provide a full service line that spans marketing, advertising, branding and digital.
The Bunch
Digital Director
Part nerd, part marketer, Angus has 15 years of technical and digital experience up his sleeve. Angus understands how to leverage all facets of the digital landscape and when he isn't building all things web, he is surfing (the other kind) and riding his bike.
Jon brings the "ke-ting" to marketing. Jon's experience crossed with his ability to identify emerging trends gives strategic firepower to our clients. Jon is a saltwater tragic and loves to kite board. Jon works from 8am to 22 knots.
UX | Developer
Joel is all things front end and making websites zing. Joel has a keen eye on what makes a great website, both for visual appeal and usability.
When he puts down the keyboard and energy drinks, you'll find Joel skating. (Actually he probably never puts down the energy drinks)
Head of Design
Sam is our sense of design. With his broad experience and his innate eye for detail, he brings the visual punch that differentiates our client's campaigns.
When Sam puts down the loupe you can find him checking the snow report and preparing the rails of his snowboard.
Ryan is all things code. He has a broad skill base that stretches both front end and back end code. He has the steady hands and focus to see the project through from start to finish.
Ryan has a fetish for keyboards and headphones. On the side he's busy tinkering with Arduino and building bikes. And oh, he's into coffee and cats.
Nadia makes the pixels sing. With a strong sense of design for the digital space, Nadia gives our websites the balance of flair and usability. With a strong eye for emerging digital trends and design aesthetic our sites are on the forefront.
Nadia is a summer fanatic and also loves all things fashion. Did someone say shoes, handbags and jewellery?

Perfect location. However, it is not a very good place to stay. I stayed in a private double room and the bathroom was not good, room with bad smell of cigarette and the owner bothered us sometimes (putting aerosol in the room and knocking the door for us to leave in the check out day). You are going to be received by a couple who only speaks Italian, but they are friendly.

Town Square
BUSC Soccer fees soaring
Original post made by Mark on May 22, 2013
on May 22, 2013 at 11:27 am
This is a good deal at twice the price. The overall program is very well-run and the players have a great time. The coaches, trainers, and staff are there for the kids and genuinely enjoy what they're doing. In large part it's a volunteer-based program, especially at the recreational level, and the $50 volunteer fee is there to coax you into giving up a little of your time for the club. Most people spend their four hours doing field marshal duty at one of the soccer tournaments at the Sports Park - pretty painless.
on May 22, 2013 at 12:33 pm
Are those fees for the traveling level or just rec? Either way they are outrageous. I think we need to get back to the basics where kids just go out and find a few friends to play some free soccer,basketball and baseball in the park its all about the exercise and social aspects that these sports bring to the kids so no need to pay someone to have fun whiile playing a sport. Especially if you really think of the number of people who really play beyond HS and college, just be healthy and happy having pick up games.
on May 22, 2013 at 3:00 pm
nice try Going Ballistic. Pleasanton parents are too competitive to go back to the basics of a pick up game with your friends. Most of these parents are living vicariously through their kids in these sports. Especially football and baseball. Plus with the competition to get on a high school team, these parents will spend all sorts of money to get them to play, that is until it comes time to pay the fair share "donation" in high school. Then everyone bails.

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Deals damage every second; stacks duration.
— In-game description
Burning is a condition that inflicts damage over time and stacks in duration. However, there is a cap at 9 stacks for this condition, meaning that the duration for this condition will only be increased by the first 9 sources that apply it, and all stacks that would normally increase the duration beyond the first 9 stacks will be ignored. Once the duration from the first application of burning has run out, another stack can be applied, further increasing the duration of burning. Characters suffering from burning will have flames emanating from them. Damage is determined by the following formula:
(0.25 * Condition Damage) + (4 * Level) + 8damage per second
(0.25 * Condition Damage) + 328damage per second at Level 80

Profile Statistics
Hi All,
I was browsing the WordPress Addon website and came accross this plugin. At the moment; everything I am searching for is currently supported by BuddyPress, which is great; because I thought I would originally have to combine a number of components.
One thing, however, that I can't seem to find is this:
What I am looking for is the ability to view statistics on the custom profile fields I will add to my system. For example; BuddyPress would allow me to add custom fields, but what if I wanted statistics on these fields. If I had a custom field that allowed my users to choose their favourite colour from a dropdown list, would I be able to see (graphically or otherwise) how many chose blue, red, orange etc.?

We grow up, but our PSN account can't: Let us change our names
Markus "Notch" Persson refused to tell me what name he used to use when playing Quake. I pressed him on the issue, as it seemed weird to keep something like that a secret, but he explained his reasoning.
"There are people who know. I'm proud of them for not telling the general public. It's turned into this stupid thing where I keep it a secret," he told me. "If I give you the name of who knows it you're going to find them, so no! I do like it, it's funny. Sometimes people come up to me and call me that nickname, and I know they knew me from a while ago."
I think about this conversation every time I'm frustrated by Sony's decision to keep us from changing our PSN name.
The power of what we're called
Our names are important things, and for those of us who grew up playing video games our names can anchor us to different points in our history. You may have used a certain tag during your Battlefield days, and an older one while playing Quake online. People on one server know you by a specific name, but your Xbox 360 friends know you as another.
There are still people I meet who call me my old name from the early days of Ars Technica, and it feels good, like a secret handshake. That's the name I use on my PlayStation Network account and, while I don't hate it, I've outgrown it. I don't use it on any games if I can help it, and it makes me feel like I'm in high school to see it in use. It's one thing to hear it from a friend, but it's quite another to be shackled to it through an online system.
Another person I know gave me his name so we could be PlayStation Network friends, and he admitted that he was embarrassed by the name. A name that he picked a very long time ago. I don't want to shame him, but it has the word "vomit" in there somewhere.
Sometimes the things that we used to think were funny or silly end up looking a little less so in retrospect, but there's no way for us to update our identities on Sony's systems. At least, not without losing all the purchases we've made and trophies we've earned.
What we could ourselves, and what other people call us, is important. Identify is fluid online, and the ability to change your name is an important part of that. It allows us to change, to grow, to leave the old behind and to celebrate the new. There are tags I've used that make me happy when I think of them. There are others that I find troubling. I can't imagine most of them being stapled to me for this long, immovable, unable to be changed.
Sony wants us to keep our information and purchases and carry it with us from platform to platform, system to system, and that's great. But if we're going to be tied to one account for so long, let us change the name. You outgrow so many things in life, and what name you used online is definitely one of them. I don't really care if I have to pay a few bucks, it's time to let the people who were early adopters of your platform grow up.

The New Jersey Nets struck out on Dwight Howard at the NBA trade deadline Thursday, and so they did the logical thing and traded their best non-Deron Williams asset in a wild attempt to make the playoffs despite entering the day with a 15-29 record.
The Nets sent their 2012 first-round draft pick and some expiring contracts to the Portland Trail Blazers for Gerald Wallace. New Jersey did protect the pick ... through the top three. So if it lands No. 4 or higher, it will go to Portland.
Why oh why?
From the great NetsDaily (emphasis is mine):
"This trade was really done to get us a small forward," King said, "a former All-Star, somebody to give us some great defense, versatility, someone to play hard ..." As for protecting the pick only #1 through #3, King said following conversations with their scouts, the team did not see any immediate-impact players beyond their projected top three in next year's draft.
Well, uh, the Nets do know that crazy stuff happens and one of their three impact players could have been available at, say, No. 6 or 7, right? (The Nets currently have the league's sixth worst record, making the sixth or seventh pick most likely, before accounting for expected improvement with Wallace.)
Here's where it gets even worse. From ESPN's Chad Ford:
NJ source on why they traded their pick to POR Top 3 protected: Only 3 players they loved: Anthony Davis, MKG and Thomas Robinson.
Anthony Davis will be the No. 1 pick. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, if he leaves Kentucky, could go as high as No. 2. But Thomas Robinson? DraftExpress does have him slotted at No. 3 currently ... but he seems like a good bet to fall into that 6-7 range eventually, once everyone falls back in love with Andre Drummond and Perry Jones, who had awful Thursdays in the Tournament. If you figure N.J.'s decent chance of vaulting into the top three where Davis or MKG would be in play plus the decent chance that Robinson would have fallen to them, you come away with a fairly reasonable probability that the Nets would have landed one of their three impact players.
I understand that this deal was about getting talent now to keep Deron Williams happy. But rationalizing draft pick trades by pooh-poohing the depth of the draft is silly. Like the Nets are too good to need help from someone like Harrison Barnes or Terrence Jones!

HMMM Update
May 20th, 2010 by noiseislife
I'm going to break from the monthly schedule for upcoming HMMM events. My life is going to be getting more complicated in the coming months culminating with a move to Wisconsin. My job will still be located in Minneapolis so it is my intention to continue with HMMM, but I need finer control of the schedule.
I will be scheduling HMMM4 in the coming days, please let me know if you have something to contribute or any ideas for fun activities. Also let me know if you are a performer or know of anyone that would like to perform (or jam) at a HMMM event.
Noise is Life.

PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. -- Creek Road between Airport and Middle has been reopened.
The road was closed overnight as crews cleanup coal and debris from a train derailment Thursday evening.
Just before 5 p.m. Thursday, four Union Pacific Railroad carts derailed spilling loads of coal right underneath the Harmon Highway Bridge in Peoria.
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) officials said they don't believe any damage was done to the bridge.
No one was injured in the incident.
Peoria County officials said the derailment may have been caused by damage done to the tracks during recent flooding.
"Some of the police officers I have talked to say that is the only recent occurrence that we have had down here, but we have no way of confirming that," said Captain Dave Briggs of the Peoria County Sheriff's Office. "It doesn't appear to be any sort of vandalism at this time. We're not sure, and we will leave that up to the railroad people."
IDOT is currently investigating the incident.
Authorities added that parts of Kickapoo Creek Road may be closed in the future to fix the parallel tracks.

- On the Lunar Calendar: 7 to 10 ½ days after the Full Moon
- Degree: 270-315 degrees ahead of the Sun
- Inner Directive: to reassess how things are done
You were born at a crossroads, and carry the seriousness of needing to make important choices. You embody the gifts and burden of having a strong sense of purpose. You're not one to dillydally, feeling an inner pressure to dig out what's vital for the next stage and leave the rest behind.
It's a friction between the old (being released) and the new. In is book, The Astrological Moon, Haydn Paul writes of this phase,"This personality type often feels a secret destiny, for which they endeavor to serve as pioneers by anchoring future strands into the present."Soul Searching
You were born at the last quarter, before the descent into the Dark Moon. This gives you a sense that it's time to disengage from certain outdated ways of living/thinking. You sense the need to prepare for the descent, by shedding old skins.
It can make you appear detached from what's going on around you. You may feel alienated from the same-ole' social rhythm that others seem in synch with. You can come across as discontented, and feel misunderstood.
It's important to have life's work that makes use of your discernment and sense of inner struggle. You straddle two worlds, but feel equally the pressures of both. You master this energy when you understand it as an important point in the transformation process. To work with the inner tension, rather than deny it exists. To find the right personal vehicles for your particular sturm and drang.
Your lunar phase is a confrontation between the status quo, and the emerging possibilities. If you ignore this inner turmoil, and go along business as usual, you will likely suffer in quiet desperation. You honor your life purpose when you find ways to live this tension through hobbies, competition, a demanding career, etc.
You also play an important role, often seeing what needs to go before others do. You may be ahead of the curve, and face resistance to your ideas. There may be many times when you doubt yourself because you seem so at odds with the mainstream. But you grow stronger when you learn to trust your unique way of knowing, and use it to alter your course. With the Sun-Moon square, you are the creator of new realities, and these emerge from the friction of letting go of the old. You show others, and society at large how to churn and compost what's dead, and make space for the new.

While Grand Prix CEO and president Jay Davidson said earlier this week that the race would go on in "anything short of another hurricane," it might take less than that for the highly anticipated race to either be shortened or postponed until Monday.

Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD, USA
Good weather has followed the IndyCar Series this year, with only one race in Brazil being postponed until Monday after two delays and 15 laps were completed. Last year, an IndyCar race in St. Petersburg, Fla. was postponed until Monday because of heavy downpours prior to the start of the race.
Amy Konrath, director of public relations for the series, said Friday "that our standard rule of thumb is to go the whole way unless the rain is affecting the drivers' visibility" or if there is "standing water" on the track. Typically, street courses such as the one in Baltimore drain well.
If a race is shortened, it is "usually a two-hour timed" race.
Konrath added that, in the event of "active lightning," IndyCar officials would work with event organizers "to make sure all the people are in safe places."
Brian Barnhart, chief steward and president of competitions and operations for the IndyCar Series, wrote in an email, "Our goal is first and foremost to ensure a safe race for our competitors while balancing entertainment for the fans. Once inclement weather comes into play on a street or road course, we look at the elements like standing water and visibility to determine whether we are safe to move forward under these conditions."
In the case of a postponement, Grand Prix organizers would have to determine how to handle the crowd's admittance on Monday. At St. Petersburg last year, fans were allowed in for free to watch the race on Monday.

So as of now I am 5'8 213 pounds. I was 236 pounds about two and a half months ago. My target weight is 194 lbs. Only problem is, for the last two weeks or so, i've plateaued and can't get below 213. I have tried literally everything. I've been on a very strict diet, getting my protein when I need it but essentially going hard on the fruits and veggies. I run about 40 minutes every day and hit up different machines at the gym to vary my cardio. I also PT with my recruiter and other poolee's once a week. Now i'm down to a month and a half left before my next weigh in and I really want to be down to 194 by then. I think i'm going to turn to supplements to help me now, because thus far i've been all natural. I have heard of two things over and over again. One is Oxyelite pro and the other is jet fuel. All i'm asking is which is the best for cutting weight quickly, and if they aren't the best what is??? Please help! Thanks everyone!

Get off the treadmills and run outside everyday. You won't be on a machine in the Corps, so why would you train on one?
Fruit sucks, cut that out entirely.
Up the running to two hours. I guarantee you'll start losing weight again. Jet fuel and oxyelite are both just the same repackaged, reformulated crap that's been out for years. The former is caffeine, synephrine, guggulsterones, yohimbine, etc. etc., the latter is caffeine and DMAA. Waste of your time and money- even if they DO help, they're not going to shave weight off as quickly as you want to.

RhodeHouse and Belial: I totally get what your saying. See before I started dropping the weight I was a linebacker for my high school and was a pretty big muscle head in the gym, so i pretty much am used to being there. Today I started my running outside, especially with the weather being beautiful in central pa right now. Mapped out my 3 mile path on google maps and made sure my run has some hard terrain to cover too. I'm hoping that the running will help me get over this little bump. I plan on starting out with just 3 miles a day and then upping it (been a while since I ran consistently outside.) And JacobH, bro, lets be constructive here bud i don't think we need any more trolls
First, I must ask how does your weight look at your height, Is it muscle or fat? I ask because weight standards don't mean anything if its muscles "you can get a waiver".
I think one of the most important things you need to make sure of is that you can do about 5 pull ups minimum, 100 crunches and make the 3 mile run in time.
The biggest mistake is going into the Marines and you get kicked out of your platoon because you can't pass the first IST test.
I can conclude by saying from experience, you will lose the weight easily in bootcamp, so your most important focus has to be passing the fitness test with ease. If you can already, disregard my advice but if you can't, I would highly advise delaying your entry.
Oh ya trust me i'm used to my meats and protein shakes it sucks major ass. I can post my before and after pics. I'd say most of it is muscle and thats all well and good but as you know the marine's weight requirements are crazy. I already passed my ist with flying colors so i'm not worried about that, and I have friends that have lost between 40 and 50 pounds at boot camp, that is pretty common. For me, I still have that gut from lifting heavy. I wouldn't mind sacrificing some muscle for some weight loss (ik, i can't believe i said that.) Its just that I really would love to be down 15-20 lbs in the next month and a half or so. Running will be a great start, my diet is good, i just wish there was a supplement that could help out a little. We can only dream!

I wouldn't sweat it man. As i said, if you are passing the IST you will easily get a weight wavier. Once in bootcamp, your gut will be gone after the 3 months, i promise. You are better off working on just improving your fitness stuff and forget about the stress of losing a gut that will leave once in bootcamp.
All of your weight goals will be accomplished in bootcamp. After bootcamp you probably be back asking us how to put on 10lbs because you lost 30.

Before I joined the United States Army I poured through the internet looking for any kind of information that could help me. I wanted so badly to know what it was like to be in the Army. I already knew what it was like for the Soldiers I'd already met, but none of them were females like me. Let's face it, there is a difference between males and females in the military, and I wanted to know that difference. Unfortunately I never found any helpful information, so I up and joined the U.S. Army and experienced it myself.
Marine Corps weight standards are not that strict. Being a Marine, i have seen plenty of overweight or out of shape guys come and go. But like people have said, bootcamp will get you to lose a substantial amount of weight so dont sweat it. And you lose evem more weight at SOI. Do what you can now but dont kill yourself stressing out about it.

Peanut Free Tim Horton's
In today's world peanut allergies are growing to be a concern for our youth and adults. Big corperations are refusing to process their products in a peanut free facility, there by not making it safe for all buyers to consume. Large business's need to know that this will be a positive step forward in the sale of their products. We are targeting Tim Horton's Canada in hopes that they will follow in the footsteps of companies such as Quaker, Dare, Nestle, and Chapmans which has already come out with a line of peanut free products.

To the point, like has already been said, I had no idea this would be a raw footage DVD, which will require some adjusting to, especially since Budokan and Score spoiled me so thoroughly.
Also, James Labrie's singing was just…off! I totally loved Blind Faith (Six Degrees was my first DT album), but I found myself wincing every time he hit the high note in the hook. That's my main complaint really, he's great so long as he stays in the mid to low range. I'm really sorry about his throat injury from years past, but it seems like it's still plagues him. I sincerely hope he overcomes this.
Now for the good stuff: The muscianship! These guys are incredible! Right now I've just finished listening to Surrounded and the ad libs and embellishments are brilliant. They have set the bar pretty high and they continue to live up to it. I can't wait to hear the rest.

Wearing blinkers for the first time, Kentucky Derby Future Book favorite Lookin At Lucky worked four furlongs on Pro-Ride Saturday in preparation for his 3-year-old debut, probably in the San Felipe Stakes on March 13.
With regular rider Garrett Gomez aboard, the son of Smart Strike was clocked in :47.40, working in company with Indian Firewater, who was timed in :48.20.
"Gomez felt the horse might need blinkers," Bob Baffert said, "because when he makes the lead, he feels like a sitting duck. Today, I worked him behind a horse, and as soon as he got by his workmate—usually, he shuts it down—but today he just kept on going. Garrett likes him better with the blinkers. It just keeps him focused. If he goes in the San Felipe, he would wear them."
It was the first official breeze for Lookin At Lucky since winning the CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park on Dec. 19. Lookin At Lucky is one of three finalists for an Eclipse Award as outstanding male 2-year-old of 2009. His lone loss in five starts came in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, when he missed by a head to longshot Vale of York after he was bumped in deep stretch.
Lookin At Lucky already has three Grade I wins on his resume: the Del Mar Futurity, the Norfolk Stakes and the CashCall Futurity. He has earned $1,243,000.
Bob Ike already has made his selection for next Saturday's Grade II $150,000 Santa Ynez Stakes, even though the race hasn't been drawn yet. The syndicated handicapper usually waits 48 hours before publicly rendering his expert opinion, but since he has a vested interest in the filly that's running in the seven-furlong race, his early conclusion is understandable.
Ike is one of the owners of She's Funomenal, a daughter of 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, who is unbeaten in her two starts, both 6 1 /2-furlongs sprints on Hollywood Park's Cushion Track. She is managed by STD Racing Stable or Summit Racing, and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer.
"Summit Racing consists of myself and Brett Lindenbaum, who's a bloodstock agent," Ike said. "We got together and formed Summit at the end of 2008, so we're in business just over a year. We have seven horses, three with Hollendorfer and two with Bob Baffert. A couple are back east right now."
She's Funomenal won her maiden race by 5 1/2 lengths, then came back to win a minor stakes race by three-quarters of a length while breaking from the challenging No. 1 post position. Each time she was ridden by Joel Rosario, who will be aboard in the Santa Ynez.
"She had trained really well from the beginning for her debut," Ike said. "She came to us around the Del Mar meet. Hollendorfer and his partners owned her, and sold us a piece. We brought in STD Racing (Steven and David Kenly of Paradise Valley, Az.). We thought she was a good filly, but you never know until they run.
"We weren't expecting her to be as impressive as she was in her first race. It was pretty awesome the way she won, geared down. Going into the race we knew we had a good shot (she went off as the 3-2 favorite, winning handily). I thought she'd be better going long, and I still believe that.
"She was 3-10 in a four-horse field in her second race, so we were supposed to win. She showed a different dimension sitting behind a horse early, because we were on the rail and she didn't break that well. But she dug in pretty gamely. She looked like she was beat at the eighth pole and I thought we were going to run third, but she galloped out full of run. She's got ability and she's got some heart and I'm looking forward to the race very much."
Ike could be cited for conflict of interest if he didn't offer She's Funomenal to his clients as his top selection on Saturday. Honesty has proved to be the best policy, in racing as in other industries diminished by a downturn in the economy.
"I've managed to hang in there (as a handicapper) since 1985," Ike said. "I'm one of the sole survivors. Will I pick She's Funomenal on Saturday? It's safe to say I'll put her right on top."
Probable for the Santa Ynez: Amen Hallelujah, Chantal Sutherland; Franny Freud, Garrett Gomez; and She's Funomenal, Rosario. She's Funomenal worked six furlongs on Pro-Ride Saturday in 1:14.
With two wins yesterday, Victor Espinoza took the lead in the Santa Anita jockeys' race, 11-10 over runners-up Garrett Gomez and Rafael Bejarano. Espinoza rides Quindici Man for trainer Craig Lewis in next Saturday's Grade II $150,000 San Fernando Stakes for 4-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles. Espinoza won the Pomona Derby on the gray son of Came Home at Fairplex Park last Sept. 29.
"It's different," Espinoza said about the five-eighths mile track at Fairplex Park and the one-mile of Santa Anita's Pro-Ride, "but he likes this track. He ran good on this track before (beating Eclipse Award Sprint finalist Zensational in a one-mile race last March). I think we have a good chance."
As for his quick start at Santa Anita, Espinoza said, "It's important. The colony here is very competitive. I have to keep it going."
Probable for the San Fernando: Gallant Son, Alex Solis; Mythical Power, Joel Rosario; Papa Clem, Tyler Baze; Quindici Man, Espinoza; Rendezvous, Rafael Bejarano; and Supreme Summit, Michael Baze.
Rendevous worked seven furlongs on Pro-Ride Saturday in 1:25 for Jerry Hollendorfer.
FINISH LINES: Dottie Ingordo, wife of trainer John Shirreffs and racing manager for Jerry and Ann Moss, owners of Breeders' Cup Classic winner and Horse of the Year finalist Zenyatta, enjoyed a sun-filled morning at Clockers' Corner Saturday along with her 3-year-old toy poodle, Sophie. The question everyone is asking her is, "Will Zenyatta be retired as announced after she won the Classic on Nov. 7, or race again?" Three recent workouts at her Hollywood Park headquarters have raised speculation in that regard. "It's very cold in Kentucky, two degrees," Ingordo said when asked when Zenyatta might ship there for breeding. "We sent one horse there and it got sick." . . . Today's Pick Six carryover of $76,179 is only the second one through the first 11 days of the meet. In contrast, there were five Pick Six carryovers through the first 11 days last meet . . . Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic winner Life Is Sweet worked four furlongs on Hollywood Park's Cushion Track Saturday in :49.80, breezing, for Shirreffs . . . Blind Luck, prepping for her 3-year-old debut in the Grade I $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at one mile on Feb. 6, worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Saturday in 1:02.80 for Jerry Hollendorfer. Rafael Bejarano was aboard . . . Probable for next Saturday's Grade III $100,000 San Rafael Stakes for 3-year-olds at one mile: Cardiff Giant, Christian Santiago Reyes; Conveyance, Garrett Gomez; and Domination, Joel Rosario . . . Probable for next Sunday's Grade II $150,000 El Encino Stakes for 4-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles: Best Lass, Alex Solis; Dream Empress, Tyler Baze; Freedom Star, Martin Garcia; Gilded Gem, Victor Espinoza; Justwhistledixie, Gomez; and Spirit Seeker, Rosario. Dream Empress worked four furlongs on Pro-Ride Saturday in :47.80 for Ken McPeek . . . Probable for the Grade II $150,000 San Marcos Stakes for older horses at 1 ¼ miles on turf on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 18: Aggie Engineer, Solis; High Court Drama, Michael Baze; Obrigado, Rosario; Quasicobra, Julien Leparoux; and Ridge Dance, Martin Garcia . . . Entering Saturday's races, there were 289 contestants alive in ShowVivor. WinVivor ended with seven tied for first, each sharing $2,500 in prize money.

Jim 'N Nick's has been closed since Thanksgiving morning when a fire severely damaged the restaurant. Many of its employees have struggled because of diminished hours.
Trent McCluskey, the chief administrator at the Walker County Jail, helped rally community support for Jim 'N Nick's workers.
"This business has been there for Walker County. We wanted to show that we are there for them," he said. "When the tornadoes struck our area, Jim 'N Nick's fed volunteers. They also took food to families in Cordova, Sipsey and other areas that had suffered damage. We felt this was the least we could do."
The donations from people throughout Walker County allowed organizers to give each employee a ham and a turkey as well as purchase Christmas presents for their children.
"We want everyone in the community to know that we will never forget this outpouring of love that we saw from everyone today," said Paul Liollio, local Jim 'N Nick's owner. "Thanks to you, our staff will be able to give their families a wonderful and blessed Christmas."
Missions Unlimited, a Jasper-based disaster relief organization, also donated boxes of food as well as children's sleeping bags and tents.
"We do our best to try to bless others in any way we can," said Charles Harper, the group's operations manager. "We are happy to be able to help."
For the first time since the fire, pulled pork sandwiches were being sold at Jim 'N Nick's on Thursday. The company brought a food truck to the parking lot and sold sandwiches with all proceeds being divided amongst the staff.
"We would like to sincerely thank the Jasper and Walker County communities for their overwhelming support today at our Jim 'N Nick's benefit," Liollio said. "Words cannot even begin to express how amazed we are by the number of people who waited in line in uncomfortable weather to buy sandwiches, make donations and show their support. Seeing this kind of loyalty and generosity from our family in the community literally brings tears to our eyes."
Liollio said Thursday there is no definite timetable for when the restaurant will reopen. He said early January is their target.
"The fire was a tragedy for our staff, especially during the holidays; however, it has reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas," he said.
