Thank You Town Council For Open Process
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 19 December 2012 22:52
- Written by Super User
Dear Editor,
I wish to thank the Carolina Beach City Council for the time and energy they spent researching and qualifying candidates applying for the open council seats vacated during 2012. Extensive phone and face to face interviews were conducted by council members utilizing time taken from both their personal and professional lives to properly evaluate the candidates. Carolina Beach citizens should recognize that sixteen candidates were willing to invest personal time towards the opportunity of improving the quality of life and investments of their fellow citizens.
I also wish to thank all those who on my behalf provided unsolicited written support to council persons in order to assist them in making their final decisions. I am fortunate to have many friends who believed in my qualifications, integrity, and ethics, and that were willing to publically voice support for my appointment to city council.
Lastly, in response to previous inquiries presented regarding my residency and voting eligibility, I would like to provide some clarification and history to support my eligibility. In November 2012 close friends encouraged me to apply for appointment to one of the open council seats based on their belief that my experience in business operation, finance, and strategic planning, would serve my fellow citizens in Carolina Beach well. At this time I was registered to vote in New Hanover County and submitted a voter registration change immediately to reflect my address in Carolina Beach. While the timing of this change might have appeared suspect to many, my change in domicile could have been made legally some time ago. My rationale for not acting on this change in a prior year is too complex to discuss in this correspondence. I have owned property in Carolina Beach and paid property taxes since May of 2002, and the home listed on my voter registration card was purchased in September of 2010. To those who questioned my residency qualifications related to this appointment, persons who know me well will attest that since moving to the Wilmington area in April 1993 my personal life and recreational interests have been centered at Carolina Beach. In support of my connection to Carolina Beach, please recognize that my daughter attended Carolina Beach Elementary, both my grown children played in the Pleasure Island soccer league, we shop for groceries on this island, and when not working you will either find me on my boat, or at our Canal Drive home. Historically, my father after returning from WWII during the late 1940's even waited tables at the original Ocean Plaza Building Ballroom.
In closing I would like to encourage my fellow citizens to fully support the current and newly seated council, and allow these individuals to spend their time providing solutions and guidance as opposed to dealing with non-productive controversy. I am personally looking forward to the guidance and vision that this council can bring to positively impact the lives of the citizens of Carolina Beach.
Douglas B. Andrews

SOURCE Feeding America
CHICAGO, June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 21 million children currently receive free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, yet most of those children will lose access to those meals as public schools close for the summer months.
This abrupt loss of up to ten meals per child per week creates a tremendous burden on millions of low-income Americans who are already struggling to provide adequate food and necessities for their families.
Many Feeding America food banks are working to make up for these missing meals by offering nutritious meals and snacks programs that vary around the country to best serve the needs of individual communities. Many of these efforts are meal based and reimbursed through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Other programs utilize innovative models to get food to children during the summer months. The New Hampshire Food Bank, for example, brings bags of "child-friendly" groceries to the homes of children living in very sparsely populated areas. The bags include items such as cereal bars, peanut butter and jelly, microwaveable soups and apple sauce.
Last year 131 Feeding America food banks helped distribute nearly 8 million meals to children at 4,200 sites. All meals and snacks were provided to children free of charge.
"We are especially grateful to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack for his commitment to increasing the number of eligible children reached by SFSP. The USDA provided nearly $428 million in funding in 2013, which helped feed more than 3.5 million children," said Bob Aiken, CEO of Feeding America. "We hope to see participation increased by at least ten percent this year. We encourage families who may be eligible for these programs to contact their local food bank to find out what services are available in their area."
"Every summer we see a sharp uptick in need, as more families come more often to the food pantries our network serves. At the same time, many of our food banks tell us that they see a big drop in donations of shelf-stable food, as there are few food drives at this time of the year. This summer will be even tougher for low-income families who are enrolled in the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, commonly known as food stamps) due to the loss of $11 billion in benefits last Nov. 1, when the temporary boost to the program through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act expired," Aiken said.
Here are some highlights of Feeding America's summer efforts this year:
"As Congress begins working on legislation to renew child nutrition programs, there is an opportunity to strengthen SFSP to help close the summer meal gap. We encourage our legislators to visit a summer feeding site, to see these vitally important programs in action," Aiken said.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My husband's doctor said that he had a ministroke. What does this mean?
DEAR READER: Most strokes occur when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked. These are called ischemic strokes. When the flow of blood is blocked badly enough, for a long enough time, brain cells die.
Not all blockages of the brain's blood vessels are bad enough, or last long enough, to cause death of brain cells. Instead, the part of the brain that isn't getting enough blood temporarily malfunctions. Such temporary blockages that do not lead to brain-cell death are called ministrokes, the technical term for which is "transient ischemic attack," or TIA.
TIAs usually last several minutes to hours. Below I list the symptoms of both a full stroke and a ministroke. The main difference is that the symptoms of ministrokes are temporary.
If the blockage and the symptoms are temporary, why is it important for you to know about TIAs? Because they greatly raise the risk that a bigger, permanent stroke may be on the way. And also because medical care can reduce your risk of having that stroke.
For that reason, a TIA should be regarded and treated every bit as seriously as a full-blown stroke. It's a warning sign, and unfortunately many people don't get a warning sign before a stroke: They just suddenly have a stroke and suffer permanent brain damage. So if a person is lucky enough to get a warning sign, he or she needs to act on it.
Now that your husband has had a TIA, he might well need drugs to prevent clotting and to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. These help prevent a full-blown stroke.
If he hasn't already, your husband also may need a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study. If he is found to be at high risk for an impending stroke, he should be hospitalized right away.

Flush from a combination of factors working in his favour — a clean chit from the apex court on his role in the infamous 2G scam, restoration of the more glamorous finance ministership and the shunting out of Pranab Mukherjee — P. Chidambaram is back, voicing his views in dulcet tones.
Where is the loss when coal is cocooned safely inside Mother Earth, he asked the opposition and the CAG with injured innocence. It has not occurred to him that the valuations of shares — the major underlying asset being coal, which was obtained for a song — of the steel and power companies benefiting from the government largesse shot up sharply, much to the joy of their promoters. This in a way is the common thread between the two giant scams — 2G and coal.
In 2G too, the shares of the promoter-companies started commanding stratospheric premiums on the back of spectrum obtained dirt cheap from the government. And these shares were substantially unloaded to the foreign telecom companies who became the joint venture partners.
It has furthermore not occurred to him that there was no claw-back clause, usually written in when precious national resources are given away, to pummel the beneficiaries with.
It has not occurred to him that there was no condition attached to the coal allottees as to guarding of the price line of their own finished product, steel and power.
In other words, the government's argument that low fixed price for allocation to select parties a la the first-come-first-served criterion in 2G was necessary to guard the price line for the ultimate consumers does not carry conviction.
This is for the simple reason that there is no guarantee that they would sell power and steel cheap or at a fixed price, and would not hike the prices ever. That much of the coal bartered away has not in any case been extracted is also no defence inasmuch as the same can be mined anytime.
In other words, coal might be ensconced in the womb of Mother Earth, but its cost has been artificially lowered to the allottee for all times to come with no obligation on him to mind consumer interests.
There could have been an extenuating circumstance for this largesse had the allottees in return been enjoined to give a sliver of their revenue to the government ad valorem so that the government can use it for public spending.
Hail the CAG
In a milieu where auditors are pilloried for their shoddy work, the CAG in India stands out as an island of excellence. But since his work embarrasses the government no end, he is being asked not to exceed his brief. The popular refrain in the ministerial circles is he has no business to question policies. Touché!
In the name of not questioning a policy and sticking to the straight and narrow of traditional auditing, he is asked to look the other way even as the nation's resources are either bartered away or plundered. Even commenting on proper accounting of revenue and expenditure, which admittedly is well within his remit and rights, calls for examining whether what ought to be received has been received or not.
Can a company management say that it is the policy of the company not to account for sale of scrap to the extent of 75 per cent in the books, with the money taken outside the books for various purposes -- and that the auditor should not comment on scrap?
Auditors' credibility
The reason why auditors of private sector companies are suffering from a credibility crisis is they often play ball with the promoters and gloss over shenanigans so long as their tenure is continued and fees increased.
In the milieu of such general decadence, it is amazing that the CAG is criticised for his alleged overzealousness when what he deserves is applause.
Granted, he might have been remiss in not discounting the loot to its present value but that does not absolve the facilitators of the loot of their guilt. The Net Present Value (NPV) of the revenue foregone for the government, say, is Rs 86,000 crore and not Rs 1,86,000 crore, the figure trotted out by the CAG, but does that make the government any the less guilty?
A white-collar criminal cannot take solace from the fact in the trial that the magnitude of loot has been scaled down from Rs 500 crore mentioned in the charge sheet to Rs 250 crore on examination of evidence.
Selective allotment of scarce and precious natural resources raises the hackles of both auditors and other conscience keepers. If auction is found inappropriate, revenue sharing must be insisted upon as a viable alternative, with the bidder offering the highest share of revenue getting the licence or whatever is on offer.
In Coalgate, the weakest defence is that the benighted tribals would get 26 per cent of the share of mining profits from coal and hence steel and power companies benefitting from the lax allotment norms have not after all been favoured.
The truth is: it is one thing to share revenue but quite another to share profits, with the latter capable of either vanishing completely or chopped off substantially thanks to licentious accounting practices. The CAG perhaps would not have been critical had the route adopted been auction or revenue sharing.

good news? awesome - then by all means lets find a way to stuff more people in, maybe we can bring traffic to a total and complete standstill.

Wise decision by the council to revise the forecast.
on Dec 18, 2012 at 10:33 pm
"Between 2003 and 2013, the city's expenditures on salaries and benefits have gone up by 24 percent, despite a major reduction in staffing levels. Pensions alone have increased nearly 10-fold, from about $2.4 million in 2003 to more than $24 million this year."
This says it all. Improving revenue will serve as a very short lived band-aid if the council doesn't have the courage to stand up to the public employee unions who have dragged the city into this mess. Unfortunately, Price, Sheppard, Kniss, and very likely Berman are likely to continue to view the public as a cash cow for their special interest benefactors. We need the rest of the council to take a very courageous stand.
Meaningful pension reform (or outsourcing if the unions manage to stop the process) should be priority one.
The Utility Users tax should be repealed as well, since it causes a structural conflict of interest. The city leadership is supposed to oversee ratepayer interests, but with the UUT being paid directly into the general fund, the city has an interest in rising rates that directly contradicts their supposed role as ratepayer advocates. Gail Price and company would be more than happy to have utility rates continue to rise 20% per year (in this time of record cheap natural gas prices strangely enough) so that her union benefactors can keep their six figure pensions.

We ordered a few burgers medium well. I showed up to pick them up and was ignored by hipster beardo staff. Finally got someone's attention and left with my food. Upon arriving home, discovered that the burgers were rare at best, and that was disturbing because they have sausage in them. Also, no pretzel buns as advertised. Instead stale brioche buns. Very disappointing. Not going back.

I Work at Juniper Galaxy 82 Bond so on Saturdays we sometimes order burgers and pick them up-They are very tasty. Lately I am going there for dinner when friends stop by my store. I only order burgers or salads and beer here-That is what appears to work best for this place. Nice beer selection on tap and the food is consistent simple and good -I think the service is fine. My only complaint would be the dude who pulls this big dog around the tables while we are eating ; that guy has no clue about training a dog!

BoB has the makings of a cool neighborhood spot. Most of the food I have had there has been solid. And it a great looking place. If they just put a little more effort into satisfying customers, it could be a great place, but that would require...ya know...effort.
Posted by Verona on 11/02/2010
The restaurant has the making of what could be a cool, eclectic little spot. But with a sparse menu, poor service, and many items already missing from the small menu to begin with, I wouldn't come here again for a meal. A lingering drink, or cup of coffee is about all this place should offer. We placed our orders at 7:10 - the meal didn't come until 8:15. And the pasta dishes were cold, and had to be returned. When asked about the dessert menu we were told they were out of everything except one thing, so "didn't want to be misleading." Good to know!

Boerum Hill needed this restaurant. The food is exceedingly decent. The atmosphere is lively and ecclectic. There's a great neighborhood vibe, though a bit snotty at times. I've enjoyed nearly every meal I've had there. I have to say some of the negative reviews below are beyond petty. They ran out of fries, and this is a BFD? Get real. The menu is limited? Don't go so often. The wait staff unable to handle small scenes? I know that's bull, I've seen them handle a huge crowd on trivia nights with aplomb. Seems likely these "guests" don't know what they have in this local treat.
Posted by friendly neighbor on 03/14/2010
This place is great to grab a drink, catch up with a friend, but starts falling apart if you're stopping in to have dinner. Yesterday, they ran out of french fries! (note everything on the menu is served with fries). Their special was Steak frites (minus the fries). They served this with a macaroni salad instead, not much of a substitute.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/11/2010
I live around the corner from Building on Bond and was happy it's in the neighborhood. But, things have changed a great deal since the beginning. The menu has become very limited, particularly for dinner. In fact, there are only appetizers and sandwiches.

Which one of these is not like the others? The CPA exam, the GRE, the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination, the Series 7 exam, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, the GMAT, the Dental Admission Test, and the LSAT. All of these exams are administered by computer except the LSAT.
Why the peculiar persistence — in 2013 — of the No. 2 pencil for LSAT takers? Last week, in partnership with our friends at Blueprint, we surveyed current LSAT prep students on their views and preferences regarding test-taking technology.
There were strongly held opinions in both the traditionalist and high-tech camps. Here are the results….

The manager of a restaurant at a Long Island mall is dead and 27 others were injured in a carbon monoxide incident. It happened at the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington Station on Saturday night.
Suffolk County police were called to the Legal Seafood for a report that someone had fallen and hit her head in the basement.
Soon after arriving, police and emergency personnel felt nauseous and dizzy and recognized it as a carbon monoxide incident.
Police evacuated the restaurant and found the manager, Steven Nelson, 55, of Copiague, unconscious in the basement. He was transported to Huntington Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
27 other victims, including four ambulance personnel and three police officers, were transported to five area hospitals with non-life threatening symptoms. Most of the victims were employees at Legal Seafood. The investigation is focusing on the restaurant's heating equipment.
Legal Seafood and surrounding restaurants, Panera Bread and The Cheesecake Factory, were evacuated. The carbon monoxide appears to have been confined to the basement of Legal Seafood.
Carbon monoxide is toxic and is easily absorbed through the lungs. Inhaling even relatively small amounts can lead to injury, neurological damage, and death.
Officials say a faulty water heater flue pipe is to blame for the carbon monoxide leak.
Huntington Chief Fire Marshal Terence McNally says the fumes were circulated in the basement by the ventilation systems at the Legal Sea Foods restaurant at the Walt Whitman Shops on Long Island.

On Friday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected former Alabama Crimson Tide safety Mark Barron as the No. 7 overall pick in this year's NFL draft.
Here's what Mocking the Draft had to say about Barron prior to the draft:
Ball skills: For a safety, Barron has excellent hands. He makes a play on a lot of passes and gets himself into good position to intercept the ball. Had seven interceptions in 2009, his first year as a starter. Finished career with 12 interceptions.
Final word: Barron has nice strength, on-field intelligence and three years of starting experience on the nation's best defense. Although no area of Barron's game is elite, he's fair and away the best safety in the 2012 NFL Draft. He should be able to contribute in the NFL immediately at strong safety. Has had some injury issues. Missed the NFL Combine with a sports hernia. Tore a pectoral muscle in 2010, which knocked him out of the team's bowl game.
For more information about Mark Barron and the Alabama Crimson Tide, please visit Roll 'Bama Roll. For lots more on the 2012 NFL draft, please visit Mocking the Draft. You can learn more about Barron by watching the video below.

Nurd Rock is one of the larger chunks of stone in the Windy Point area. It was mostly developed in the early to mid-eighties when the classic Desire went up by Stieger. What is most striking about Nurd Rock is not only the lines that are developed, but the expanses of perfect rock that are not developed. At its highest, Nurd Rock has 200 feet of perfect, east facing, Windy Point stone. Most visit Nurd Rock to climb Desire -but not that many- due to its unforgiving first clip and old school flavor.
Getting There
There are many ways to get to Nurd Rock from Windy Point parking areas. From the Rupley routes, continue south past Trilevel Spire to the next large formation (Nurd Rock). From Hunchback Pinnacle, head down the drainage for 5 minutes and contour around to the left of Nurd Rock to get to its base. The fire has made both approaches quite loose.

I picked up that idea and created a block that shows similar games from one category of the game, e.g. shoot them up or platform. The ranking is random, so every time you enter the page you see different games listed there.
In addition to the hand picked similar games it created a more associative selection for the rather random browsing user.
...I'll evaluate wether it can entertain me :D
But the license limits the use: you can only use it for evaluation purposes, and not entertainment.
Lgdb news: Similar games
> isn't the poll for what to remove?
It is, but I've noticed it too late.
Lgdb news: Similar games
isn't the poll for what to remove? I voted for (i.e., against) the similar games thingie. Browsing history can be interesting, at times.
But I agree, the best solution would be manual links, with an option for users to add 'similar games'
Game: FLARE
Today I released Flare v0.11. Enemies now have all flavor of powers: bow shooting, fireball spitting, lightning casting, and more.
The Windows and Mac version are not free, so think you are right, that the Linux version will cost money. But at the moment you can get the full Linux version for free, because its currently being tested.
I do no think it is free. It is released under evaluational license only. Thus it is shareware at best.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A man who originally claimed he was carjacked off of Gordon Road Monday morning now faces several charges himself.
Graham Ward's story changed several times, according to the State Highway Patrol. Trooper K.A. Lee said an investigation found no evidence of an attempted carjacking.
"There's no way someone got in that car," he said.
Ward told law enforcement that he was at an intersection when he asked a man standing outside if he was okay. The stranger pulled out a knife, according to Ward's account, scaring him so much that he sped off. His story ends there, according to Trooper Lee.
But the early morning incident continues, according to the SHP. When Ward sped away, he crashed into a parked car at an estimated speed of 45 MPH. He left the scene of the accident and drove around the neighborhood for about two miles, according to Lee. Ward and his vehicle were found stopped in front of a pond at the intersection of Potomac Drive and Herford Court.
Ward suffered some minor scrapes, but no one was seriously hurt according to Lee. The driver is charged with driving while impaired, hit and run and failure to reduce speed.

FULTONDALE — A woman from Warrior was killed Thursday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Fultondale.
Kristy Leigh White, 35, was killed when she was thrown from a Ford F-150 pickup truck in which she was a passenger, according to Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Phillip Russell.
The crash occurred at the intersection of U.S. 31 (Decatur Highway) and Honeysuckle Drive at about 12:30 p.m., Russell said. The driver of the truck, John King of Warrior lost control and struck a Lincoln Town Car in a side-by-side impact, according to Fultondale Police Officer Jim Griffin, who handles reconstruction of crash scenes. The Lincoln was driven by Deborah Goodwin of Gardendale.
The truck wound up on its side, and White's body was thrown out of the cab. She was dead at the scene.
Moderate rain was falling at the time of the crash, and Griffin said that hydroplaning may have been a cause of the crash, as the pickup truck had slick tires.
Russell said that King, Goodwin and another juvenile passenger were transported by ambulance from the scene. Griffin said that all three had been treated and released as of Friday morning.

4 March 2009 — Still reeling from the Israeli massacres in the occupied Gaza Strip, Palestinians have lately had little to celebrate. So the strong start to intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks in
An end to the schism between the resistance and the elected but internationally-boycotted Hamas government on the one hand, and the Western-backed Fatah faction on the other, seemed within reach. But the good feeling came to a sudden end after what looked like a coordinated assault by United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, European Union High Representative Javier Solana, and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas whose term as president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) expired on 9 January.
On Friday 27 February, the leaders of 13 Palestinian factions, principal among them Hamas and Fatah, announced they had set out a framework for reconciliation. In talks chaired by Egypt's powerful intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, the Palestinians established committees to discuss forming a "national unity government," reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to include all factions, legislative and presidential elections, reorganizing security forces on a nonpolitical basis, and a steering group comprised of all faction leaders. Amid a jubilant mood, the talks were adjourned until 10 March.
Then the blows began to strike the fragile Palestinian body politic. The first came from
The next strikes came from Ramallah. With the EU's top diplomat Solana standing next to him, Abbas insisted that any national unity government would have to adhere to the "two-state vision" and abide by "international conditions and signed agreements." He then demanded that
Was the Sharm al-Sheikh summit then really about helping the people of
Hamas warned that Clinton's and Abbas's statements set Palestinian reconciliation efforts back to square one. "Hamas will not recognize
Such statements will of course be used to paint Hamas as extremist, intransigent and anti-peace. After all, what could be more reasonable than demanding that any party involved in a peace process commit itself to renouncing violence, recognizing its enemy, and abiding by pre-existing agreements? The problem is that the Quartet conditions are designed to eliminate the Palestinians' few bargaining chips and render them defenseless before continuous Israeli occupation, colonization, blockade and armed attacks.
None of the Western diplomats imposing conditions on Hamas have demanded that
For Palestinians to "renounce violence" under these conditions is to renounce the right to self-defense, something no occupied people can do. Palestinians will certainly note that while Abbas stands impotently by, neither the US nor the EU have rushed to the defense of the peaceful, unarmed Palestinians shot at daily by Israeli occupation forces as they try to protect their land from seizure in the West Bank. Nor has Abbas' renunciation of resistance helped the 1,500 residents in the
While Israeli violence is tolerated or applauded,
Yet Quartet envoy Tony Blair, asked by Al-Jazeera International on 1 March how his masters would deal with a rejectionist Israeli government, said, "We have to work with whoever the Israeli people elect, let's test it out not just assume it won't work." Unless Palestinians are considered an inferior race, the same logic ought to apply to their elected leaders, but they were never given a chance.
It is ludicrous to demand that the stateless Palestinian people unconditionally recognize the legitimacy of the entity that dispossessed them and occupies them, that itself has no declared borders and that continues to violently expand its territory at their expense. If Palestinians are ever to recognize

Those who claim to be peacemakers should heed this advice. They should allow Palestinians to form a national consensus without external interference and blackmail. They should respect democratic mandates. They should stop imposing grossly unfair conditions on the weaker side while cowering in fear of offending the strong, and they should stop the cynical exploitation of humanitarian aid for political manipulation and subversion.

Today marks the 4 week countdown until I am toeing the line (well, back in the corral…) at the NYC Marathon. While part of me wants November 6th to hurry up and get here already, part of me kinda wishes I could enjoy training a little longer. Dragging myself out of bed each morning has been rough now that it's dark out, but I love challenging myself on each run to work towards a goal. And more than all, I love challenging myself to hit new records, like a new high mileage for the week.
This past week (10/2-10/8), I capped out at 70 miles off 6 days of running, 1 day total rest. When I set out my marathon training plan a few months ago, I knew I was setting some aggressive weekly mileage totals (for me). It's pretty tough for me to get in 60-70 miles on only 6 days of training a week. Long runs and workouts really beat up my legs, and it's often tough to get in quality miles in between. Amidst working 40-50 hours a week and trying to enjoy a social life. My one rest day-no cross training- is essential (for me) to stay healthy, keep my legs fresh, and get a mental break. I know compared to other marathoners, 70 miles per week isn't much, but for me- a new high mileage total!
I'm gearing up for a goal of 75 miles this week, fingers crossed all goes well and I can hit another new mileage high. There are many benefits of high mileage training, so as long as I'm staying healthy and having fun, I'll continue to hope it pays off!
Here's how the week shaped up.
- Sun: 20 miles in Chicago- felt great!
- Mon: 9 miles before work
- Tues: 6 miles in morning; 6.5 run commute home after work
- Wed: 6.5 miles easy
- Thurs: 3 easy in morning. 3 warmup, 6 miles CPTC workout, 3 cooldown
- Fri: OFF
- Sat: 7 miles easy
Surprisingly, my legs still felt great throughout the week and Thursday's workout felt great. We did 4 loops of the reservoir, starting around marathon pace and getting faster each lap. It was dark by the time we started, and kinda scary in some spots where the lamps were out!
Mission accomplished! Each lap was consistently faster. I felt really strong, especially on the last lap. Nice practice to get faster and faster and continue to dig even when fatigued. Hopefully I'm feelin' that good at mile 25 of the marathon
Today, I did my last 20-miler of the cycle. Alex and I met in Central Park at 7:45am to do a mile or so before heading over to Riverside Park and then down the Hudson River Path, over the Brooklyn Bridge, back on the Manhattan Bridge, and then back up through Battery Park to finish the run at Chambers Street. The pace was nothing special, around 7:40 average, and I was definitely feeling more dehydrated than normal due to the heat.
After the run, I took an ice bath in hopes to stave off muscle soreness, and enjoyed some warm treats to pass the time. Pumpkin oatmeal and some hot coffee! Excuse the crappy camera phone pics. I was starving and freezing.
After warming up, I decided to take advantage of the unseasonal mid-October temperatures and head to Riverside Park with a few magazines to enjoy the sunshine for (probably) the last time until next summer.
Lovely, lovely view. Lovely, lovely weather. Lovely, lovely week and weekend.
What was the best part of your weekend? What's the highest mileage total you've ever hit? How many rest days per week do you like to take?

Two appear in court over knifepoint robbery at McColl's store in Crichton Avenue, Clifton
Updated 12:20pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News By Victoria Prest
TWO York men have appeared in court over an armed robbery at a Clifton convenience store.
Twenty-one year old Luke Russell and 18 year old Jake Nolan have been charged with robbery and possession of a bladed article.
The two men, of 86 Cromer Street, Clifton, spoke only to confirm their names and entered no plea in the short hearing at York Magistrate's Court this morning.
Prosecuting solicitor Martin Sleights told the magistrates that Russell and Nolan allegedly stole £1897.48 from the McColl's shop on Crichton Avenue this weekend.
They were both alleged to have gone into the McColl's store on Crichton Street, Clifton, just 300 yards away from their home, at about 9.30pm on Saturday. They are said to have had scarves covering their faces, and threatened two shop workers with knives, he added.
The two men's defence solicitor Neil Cutte made no application for bail and both were remanded in custody until February 3 when they will appear at York Crown Court.

Spectacular decision by the Network to broadcast these games. I'm terribly jealous that the Bruins won't be participating in the tournament -- but this kind of coverage might encourage them to take part in the future.

LOS ANGELES Ś As Jay Leno lobs potshots at ratings-challenged NBC in his ōTonightö monologues, speculation is swirling the network is taking steps to replace the host with Jimmy Fallon next year and move the show from Burbank to New York.
NBC confirmed Wednesday itÆs creating a new studio for Fallon in New York, where he hosts ōLate Night,ö but the network did not comment on a report that the digs at its Rockefeller Plaza headquarters may become home to a transplanted, Fallon-hosted ōTonight.ö
The New York Times reported the plan in a Wednesday story, citing unidentified network executives. The Hollywood Reporter had a March 1 report about a Fallon-Leno switch, which was denied by the network.
Looming over NBC is its messy, failed effort to replace Leno with Conan OÆBrien, which ended in 2010 with Leno regaining ōTonightö and NBC losing OÆBrien Ś who got a $45 million exit deal Ś to TBS. LenoÆs current ōTonightö contract expires in September 2014.
That occurred under a different regime, before NBCUniversal was taken over by Philadelphia-based Comcast Corp., which has a reputation for discipline. While NBC dithered and backtracked on its ōTonightö succession plan involving OÆBrien, Comcast is likely to be more decisive.
ōI donÆt know if itÆs possible to have a less orderly transition than Leno-OÆBrien,ö said analyst Brad Adgate of media-buying firm Horizon Media.
Fallon contacted Leno in an effort to help smooth the potential switch, according to a Hollywood Reporter story Wednesday.
The latest roiling of the late-night waters began in January when ABC moved ōJimmy Kimmel Liveö back to 11:35 p.m. Eastern to offer direct competition to Leno and CBSÆ David Letterman.
With the potential for Kimmel, 45, to draw advertiser-favored young viewers away from Leno (62) and Letterman (65), itÆs unsurprising that their networks might step up their succession planning.
At 38, Fallon is the youngest of the pack.
Leno, who took over ōTonightö from Johnny Carson in 1992, did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment. But he might be taking advantage of other ways to communicate Ś the ōTonightö stage and its audience of millions.
Although late-night hosts are known for needling their network bosses on-air, the timing of LenoÆs latest jabs at NBC seemed to make the network particularly uncomfortable. They reportedly asked him to stop; he hasnÆt.
ōYou know the whole legend of St. Patrick, right? St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland Ś and then they came to the United States and became NBC executives,ö Leno joked on MondayÆs show.
On Tuesday, he played off a news report about a Serbian woman with a rare brain condition that causes her to see the world upside down: ōIsnÆt that crazy? ItÆs unbelievable. She sees everything upside down. In fact, she thinks NBC is at the top of the ratings.ö
He kept up the pace Wednesday, according to a NBC transcript released after the showÆs taping and with gibe included. Leno quipped that scientists may be able to clone extinct species and bring them back from the dead, ōso thereÆs hope for NBC.ö
Leno, who briefly moved to prime-time to make room for OÆBrien, has proved himself a wily survivor. Despite the challenge from Kimmel, he and ōTonightö have remained top-rated so far.
But if a change is destined, NBC could be eying next yearÆs Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, as a premium launch pad for a revamped ōTonight,ö analyst Adgate said.
ōIf theyÆre going to do it, it makes sense to do it when NBC is dominating television for 17 days,ö he said, and can heavily promote the ōTonightö switch. ōThey could have Fallon in Sochi, talking it up.ö
In the April issue of GQ magazine, ōLate Nightö producer Lorne Michaels (ōSaturday Night Liveö) said a transition to Fallon had ōan inevitability to it,ö adding that he was the closest to Carson that IÆve seen of this generation.ö

When we got to the Dock, early that day, about 1100 or so, we were told it would be at least 1400 before we would be able to board the ship. This was due to a viral problem on the ship and they wanted to disinfect the surfaces better. Well about 1500 we started to get processed to board the ship. This is not our first cruise, so we knew what is expected. We could not get to our cabin for a while, so we went to the buffet area and had a snack. About 1700, after we had toured the ship some, we got to our cabin. Our bags were there and the room had been picked up. The room stewards told us they had disinfected the carpets and bathroom floors, so it would not be vacuumed for a couple days. Okay.
We went to dinner after a very long day and slept hard. The next couple of days, was a nice relaxing time at sea. We found the guest laundry facilities and every one was shut down due to the virus on board. Well, now it has been a week. The floors in the cabin have been vacuumed, the bathroom floor is no longer sticky due to the disinfectant, but no laundry facility for the guests. No complimentary movie check outs, no books, no hot tubs open but the casino has been operating since the first day? Medical concerns? I would think a virus could be spread easier in a casino than from checked out CD's. A guest laundry could get cleaned up with Lysol or bleach and cleaned in a day, I would think. Hot soapy water, rinse and more HOT disinfectant and soap, re-rinse and now ready to clean underwear and clothes.
I am not impressed with Holland American Cruise line. The employees have been very polite and accommodating though. It was two weeks and still no guest laundry facility, no use of complimentary CD's and the ship is not in a normal sanitary condition. You cannot even purchase over the counter diarrhea medication at the convenience store on board.
Well its day 15! And the hot tubs are finally working. Yes and you can even get your own drinks and buffet food. Unbelievably the complimentary movies are finally available with only two days left on the 17 day cruise. Good thing I brought my own motion sickness pills. I am normally easy to please but this was a disaster on a trip of a lifetime.

The agency said 11 adults and one juvenile were arrested, and all will face federal smuggling charges.
Authorities estimated the marijuana to be worth about $625,000.
