You may not recognize him, but, his face has been part of the most historic images in U.S. history for nearly 50 years.
North Dakota native, Clint Hill is the subject of a new book, "Mrs. Kennedy and Me".
The former Secret Service Agent was in charge of protecting Jackie Kennedy and her children.
Now, in the first of a two-part series, Valley News Teams Neil Carlson introduces us to Clint Hill and his fascinating story.
This is Washburn, North Dakota, forty miles north of Bismarck. It's the boyhood home of Clint Hill.
Now, Clint Hill walks us back in time to some of the most iconic scenes in U.S. history from November 22, 1963. Hill was working as a secret service agent, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Hill sat down with me during a recent visit to his home town to talk about that day.
Clint Hill, Former Secret Service Agent: "We had just gotten through a very big crowd in downtown Dallas on Main Street. And we were about to go onto a freeway, which would take us to the Trade Mart, where the President was going to make a speech."
They never got there. That's Clint Hill beside the Presidential limo in Dallas.
Clint Hill: "I heard this explosive noise over my right shoulder. I looked across the back of the Presidents car and I saw him grabbing his throat and move to his left. I knew he was in trouble. I jumped from the follow up car and started to run to get to the Presidential car. The third shot I heard, I felt, because it hit the President in the head… right above the right ear toward the rear. And it was such an explosion, impact that the wound spewed out blood, brain matter, bone fragments and that came all over me and the back of the car. And when that happened Mrs. Kennedy got up on the trunk. She was trying to retrieve some of that material from the right rear of the trunk. She didn't even know I was there. I grabbed her and put her in the back seat. The President's body then fell into her lap."
After climbing on the back of the limo, Hill kept his body in the line of fire to protect the President and First Lady from any further gunfire. But, it was too late.
News Coverage, 1963: "The casket carrying the body of President Kennedy is being transferred to an ambulance."
It was years later, in 1975 when Hill retired from the Secret Service that he revealed a terrible burden that had been haunting him for years. He felt responsible for the death of President Kennedy.
Nat, Dec 7, 1975, 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace: "You got there in less than 2 seconds. Clint, you couldn't have gotten there. You surely don't have any sense of guilt about that?"
Clint Hill, 1975: "Yes, I certainly do. I have a great deal of guilt about that."
Hill's biographer says it all lead to a battle with depression and alcohol that lasted years.
Lisa McCubbin, Biographer: "He told me for about 7 years he cut himself off from everybody. Basically, curled up on a couch in his basement with a bottle of scotch and a carton of cigarettes."
Now, nearly 50-years after JFK's assassination, Hill has learned to live with it. But, he still hasn't completely forgiven himself.
Clint Hill: "I still have a sense of responsibility, guilt. But it's something I have to live with."
Reporter: "You've come to terms with that?"
Hill: "Not completely. I did what I could do, based on everything. But I still have that sense that I should have been able to do more, because it was our job to protect the President. We failed.
Clint Hill looks back on happier times. His childhood in Washburn and the time spent with First Lady, Jackie Kennedy traveling the world. He'll also reveal a couple of secrets about Jackie.

The low attendance numbers put the Suns at 23rd place out of the 30 NBA attendance rates.

Gobble, gobble, gobble — it is once more Turkey Day. This huge bird was common over much of the Eastern states and came west along the shrubby area of the Plains watercourses. The adult males make the gobbling sound. The females call in a single yelp, and they both make a soft ("quit, quit") call when feeding.
Probably the question I am most frequently asked by people who have been feeding birds in the area for many years is, "Where have all the grosbeaks gone?" I wish I could give them a good answer, and I also wish I could bring them back.
First, I try to ascertain that they are referring to the evening grosbeaks because we have other grosbeaks in the area. Usually they describe them as the fairly big birds that are yellow, white and black, and used to come to feeders in droves.
The printed edition of the Christmas Bird Count for 2008, the 109th CBC, just came in lat week's mail.
As usual it is full of fascinating facts and bits of information. There are 59,813 participants and 661 species, plus 38 forms and 28 introduced exotics seen on the counts. Two of these were new, never seen on CBC before. They were the Jack snipe at Eugene, Ore., and the little bunting at Greater Massett, British Columbia.
The circular table on the patio looks like a humongous marshmallow or a giant birthday cake. The weathermen are predicting more snow tonight. I can't believe we have this much snow in October. It looks more like the storm and quantity of snow that we usually get in spring storms. Kind neighbors have kept my driveway plowed. Three times today!
The last three weeks have been strange for October. It has been cold. We have had snowstorms about once a week that have kept it cold. Even when the storms have moved on and we have had blue skies and sunshine, the snow on the ground and he wind off the mountains have kept it cold — not at all the warm dry October weather that I consider normal.
I am sorry to say that I made an error in my article of two weeks ago. In the article of Oct. 7, I wrote that grizzly bears "had been all but eliminated in the contiguous 48 states." This is not true, and I apologize. I checked this information in the book "Bears of the World" by Lance Craighead, and assumed it to be up to date, for he is an authority on bears and it is a fairly recent publication. However, I had two phone calls this week telling me that the brown or grizzly bears are indeed still found in the lower 48 states.
A reader of this column recently phoned to ask me if there were any turtles in Evergreen Lake.
Yes, indeed, I have seen turtles in Evergreen Lake. However, turtles are far more common in the rivers and ponds on the plains, mostly below 5,500 feet.
Snow and below-freezing temperatures tell us that winter is here, even though it's still supposed to be fall. Shortening days are growing still shorter and will for three more months until the winter solstice is reached and the pendulum swings the other way and they begin to slowly grow longer. My husband, Bill, used to feel the same way, and we used to celebrate Dec. 22 as if it were the first day of spring and then celebrate again in March when it really was the first day of spring and the days began to get longer than the nights.
The first two days of fall brought quite a few migrating birds to Evergreen Lake. A cold front moving down out of Canada brought cold rain followed by the first snow. I am not ready for snow yet and hope we may still have some Indian summer weather.
The first day of autumn has arrived and with it came our first really cold day, which made it really feel like autumn. I'm not happy to see the cold weather come, but at least it gives me a good excuse to have a fire in the fireplace in the evening. The aspen have reached their peak in the high country; they were beautiful at Echo Lake this week, but those in our valley are still green.

Meredith comes to O's in deal for Salazar
Baltimore upgrades bullpen in trade for San Diego righty
CHICAGO -- The Orioles made a move to bolster their bullpen on Sunday by acquiring reliever Cla Meredith from the Padres in exchange for infielder Oscar Salazar.
The 26-year-old Meredith has appeared in 35 games for the Padres this season, going 4-2 with a 4.17 ERA. For his career, the right-hander is 14-12 with a 3.49 ERA.
Originally a sixth-round Draft choice of the Boston Red Sox in 2004, Meredith enjoyed his best professional season two years later in San Diego. Opponents hit .170 against Meredith in 2006, when he went 5-1 with a 1.07 ERA. During that time, he put together a scoreless streak that stretched across 28 appearances and 33 2/3 innings.
Meredith was born in Richmond, Va., and went to Virginia Commonwealth University. He heads back east to join a Baltimore bullpen that entering Sunday was 17-13 with a 4.51 ERA.
In the 31-year-old Salazar, the Orioles lose a reserve off the bench who was tied for the American League lead with four pinch-hits. He was batting .364 (4-for-11) with one home run and three RBIs in those situations.

Jericho boatyard's future is back on the agenda
9:30am Friday 21st December 2012 in Oxford
BUSINESSES in Jericho have welcomed the prospect of getting the area's boatyard redeveloped.
It comes after news that discussions are set to take place next month over the sale of the boarded-up Castlemill boatyard.
Administrator PricewaterhouseCoopers has announced that it will meet the Jericho Wharf Trust (JWT) next month to try to end a 20-year row over the future of the site.
Since it ceased to operate as a working boatyard in 1992, there have been a number of proposals to redevelop the site at the bottom of Cardigan Street. The people of the area formed the JWT with the aim of buying the land themselves.
Once it gains ownership of the site, JWT intends to turn it into a public square with a new community centre, housing and a working boatyard.
Josh Mullett-Sadones, landlord of the nearby Old Bookbinders Ale House, said: "It will mean there will be more people coming into Jericho and it will be nice for there to be somewhere people can use as a social point, because there is nothing apart from Walton Street."
Patricia Baker-Cassidy, of King Street gallery Art Jericho, agreed: "If it is developed, more people will go there, which is excellent."
In 2009, the boatyard found itself in the hands of PWC when developer, Spring Residential, went into administration after purchasing the site but failing to get planning permission to redevelop it.
PWC spokesman Stephanie Howel said: "When we last met with the trust we outlined our hope that a more fruitful conversation would be possible in January 2013 and we have been able to offer such a meeting recently."
Ms Howel said an asking price for the site had not yet been decided.
The JWT is made up of local bodies such as the local community association, St Barnabas Parochial Church Council and the Jericho Living Heritage Trust.
JWT vice-chairman Tony Joyce, who is also a member of the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, said: "I very much hope that this will be the start of negotiations to purchase the boatyard."

Eagles Split Doubleheader with UNF
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University baseball opened up its A-Sun slate with North Florida, splitting a doubleheader with the Ospreys at Swanson Stadium on Saturday. The Eagles came up short in the first game, 5-1, and won the second, 4-3 in 10 innings.
The Eagles move to 5-1 overall and 1-1 in the Atlantic Sun Conference, while the Ospreys record now stands at 3-2 and 1-1 in the A-Sun.
In the first game, junior Casey Coleman (Cape Coral, Fla.) pitched four full innings, allowing five earned runs with three strikeouts to earn his first loss of the season. His record dropped to 1-1 on the season.
Ty Pryor of North Florida picked up the win for the Ospreys after pitching six full innings, while giving up one earned run and three hits with seven strikeouts. His record now stands at 1-1 on the season.
The Eagles fell behind early as the Ospreys put together a four run second, courtesy of a three-run double by Ryan Lowe to right center. Lowe would later score on a single through the left side by TJ Thompson.
The Ospreys would tack on another run in the fourth on an RBI single by Ryan Lowe.
Senior Stephen Rassell (Lake City, Fla.) singled through the right side to lead off the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, senior Jason Peacock (Bartow, Fla.) singled up the middle scoring Rassell.
In their first loss of the season, the Eagles were held to just five hits on one run.
In the second game, senior Richard Bleier (Davie, Fla.) threw six full innings, striking out four, allowing two earned runs. Classmate JJ Crumbley (Lakeland, Fla.) pitched the final four innings of the game. Crumbley allowed no runs, and struck out five to earn his first win of the season. His record now stands at 1-0.
"As a reliever my job is to leave the game with the same score it was when I entered," said senior J.J. Crumbley. "I knew it was a matter of time before our hitters would find a way to win."
The Ospreys once again jumped out to an early lead, scoring one in the top of the first as Preston Hale reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Thompson.
The Eagles would answer back with two of their own in the bottom of the first. Junior Josh Upchurch (Cape Coral, Fla.) walked on five pitches, and then Rassell singled through the right side on a full count, advancing Upchurch to second. After a balk by Ospreys starting pitcher John Atteo, senior Ozzie Borrell (Hialeah, Fla.) drove in his ninth run of the season on a sacrifice fly to right field to score Upchurch. Peacock would add another RBI, as he singled down the left field line to score Rassell.
The Eagles lead would not last long as the Ospreys added one in the top of the second.
Once again the Eagles responded. With two outs, Upchurch laid down a drag bunt and Ospreys third baseman Andrew Hannon threw it away, Upchurch advanced to second. Borrell singled through the 3-4 hole to give the Eagles the lead for the second time, 3-2.
The Ospreys would tie the game at three in the bottom sixth. After nine innings of play the game remained tied at three.
In the bottom of the tenth inning, with two outs and a runner of second Upchurch singled to right field to score pincher runner DJ Bissell (Longwood, Fla.).
"I told myself I need to make good contact," said Josh Upchurch. "He got ahead early and I knew he was going to come right after me."
"These were two hard fought games," said head coach Dave Tollett. "This was a big A-Sun win tonight. They are a top notch team and we need to come tomorrow and get ahead early."
The Eagles will return to action on Sunday, Mar. 2 against North Florida in the series finale at Swanson Stadium, starting at 1 p.m.

Good day,
Our company developing IPHooking component for Symbian OS since 2008. We are successfully using old Symbian Signed Developer certificate for 1000 IMEIs with approved publisher ID, which allow us to install IPHooking component as patch to c32.exe module with UID: 0x101F7989. Then we successfully performed Certified Signing process on such application.
But now we unable to use new Symbian Signed generated Developer certificate for 1000 IMEIs, because it restrict us with only our own UIDs.
So, how we can solve such problem, how we can use Developer Certificate to be approved for UID: 0x101F7989, to be able to install c32.exe IPHooking patch component?

The Seahawks signed former Colts LB Tyjuan Hagler and ex-Northern Illinois WR Matt Simon on Tuesday. To make room for the two roster additions, the team released CB Chris Richards and waived/injured WR Marcus Maxwell, both of whom had been signed in May.
Hagler played five seasons with the Colts after they drafted him in the fifth round in 2005. He started seven games last season before a ruptured biceps landed him on injured reserve. His best season was 2007, when he made a career-high 54 tackles. The Colts chose not to re-sign him this offseason.
Simon signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent following the 2009 draft and spent one week on their practice squad before being released.
These roster moves raised the total to 120 since head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider were hired in January.

On September 9, 2013, Health Robotics, S.r.l. issued a press release, entitled "Health Robotics' Releases i.v.STATION's 63% Annual Savings vs. PharMedium, or a 5-Month ROI on Just 4 APIs," which reported annual savings attributable to the use of one its products as opposed to using the sterile compounding services offered by PharMEDium Healthcare Corporation. The press release purports to release cost savings allegedly experienced by Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids.
Portions of the data reported in the press release regarding the purported costs of PharMEDium services, the types of sterile compounds provided by PharMEDium to Mercy Medical Center, and the claimed savings experienced by Mercy by using Health Robotics' i.v.STATION as opposed to PharMEDium's sterile compounding services are inaccurate. Part of the inaccuracies reported by Health Robotics, S.r.l. were based on unverified and/or inaccurate information received by Health Robotics, S.r.l., and Health Robotics, S.r.l. has no way of verifying the accuracy or methodology of any cost savings allegedly experienced by Mercy. Consequently, Health Robotics, S.r.l. retracts the September 9, 2013 press release in its entirety.

The winner is awarded $25,000 as well as a signed and numbered print by artist Willem de Kooning, created especially for the Prize. Each of the finalists receives $2,500.
Blackburn Prize judge Cynthia Nixon (Wit) presented Baker with the Prize — currently celebrating its 35th anniversary — at the Awards Presentation March 17 at the Alley Theatre in Houston. The Prize is awarded annually to recognize women from around the world who have written works of outstanding quality for the English-speaking theatre.
Baker will also be the next writer-in-residence with the Horton Foote Legacy Project, a newly established venture where emerging and established playwrights receive a month-long writing residency in Horton Foote's home in Wharton, TX.
Playwrights Horizons describes The Flick as "a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world. In a run-down movie theatre in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35-millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles, and not-so-tiny heartbreaks, more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on screen, play out in the empty aisles."
The Flick was nominated by Playwrights Horizons, where it premiered March 12, following previews from Feb. 15. The Flick is the result of a Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust Commission awarded by Playwrights Horizons.
American playwright Jennifer Haley received the 2011-12 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for her play The Nether, which was nominated by Center Theatre Group (Los Angeles), the company that is producing its world premiere, which will open March 19. Other recipients of the Prize include Katori Hall's Hurt Village, Chloe Moss' This Wide Night, Judith Thompson's Palace of the End, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's Behzti (Dishonour), Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House, Dael Orlandersmith's Yellowman, Cheryl West's Before It Hits Home, Susan Miller's A Map of Doubt and Rescue, Gina Gionfriddo's U.S. Drag, Bridget Carpenter's Fall, Charlotte Jones' Humble Boy, Naomi Wallace's One Flea Spare, Wendy Kesselman's My Sister in this House, Jessica Goldberg's Refuge, Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive, Moira Buffini's Silence and Caryl Churchill's Serious Money.
This year's finalists include Karen Ardiff (Ireland), The Goddess Of Liberty; Jean Betts (New Zealand), Genesis Falls; Deborah Bruce (U.K.), The Distance; Katherine Chandler (U.K.), Before It Rains; Amy Herzog (U.S.), Belleville; Dawn King (U.K.), Foxfinder; Laura Marks (U.S.), Bethany; Jenny Schwartz (U.S.), Somewhere Fun; and Francine Volpe (U.S.), The Good Mother.
The international panel of judges for the 35th annual Susan Smith Blackburn Prize included included Mandy Greenfield, artistic producer of the Manhattan Theatre Club; and award-winning Broadway and regional stage director, Michael Wilson. Judges from the U.K. were Laura Collier, head of the National Theatre Studio; Matt Wolf, London editor of Broadway.com, and London theatre critic of the International Herald Tribune; and BAFTA Award-winning actor and writer, Susan Wooldridge.
As previously reported, to celebrate the Prize's 35th anniversary, theatres around the world have been producing works by playwrights honored by the Prize. Over 75 productions by winners and finalists have been produced by theatres on both sides of the Atlantic during the 35th anniversary year.
The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize was co-founded by Emilie S. Kilgore and William Blackburn. Many winners have gone on to receive other honors, including Tony Awards and The Pulitzer Prize.

SSL does not insure your site is safe, in fact it can create a total sense of over confidence.
What SSL does however bring is encryption for what's sent to/from your site making it very difficult for someone to "snoop" and read credit cards, names, passwords, etc. Remember while it seems like we go right to a website, the data actually hops around before hand, and in the case of wifi starts out literally in the open air. SSL will not stop a site from being hacked, encrypt the data that it receives, or make up for poor practices elsewhere but it does do a lot to help with that over-the-air stage of the process.
Then of course there's the consumer piece of mind. We've been trained to believe the security lock and a badge on a website means it's all safe, go ahead. The lift of one of these buttons alone can be a few percent to existing conversion rates, sometimes more.
Having SSL is really not an option on a transactional / membership driven site from a practical or marketing perspective.- Ted S

The United States defense is back to looking like, well, the United States defense. They were flat, unorganized, and left a huge hole, which probably isn't a good idea when the other team has someone like Tim Matavz. The U.S. defense allowed the Slovenian striker to get in all alone on goal and he wasn't going to miss that opportunity, slotting home his shot to equalize this match at 1-1.
Somehow, the U.S. left a huge hole in the center of the field. Their central defenders were spread out and Timothy Chandler was completely missing, allowing Matavz to slip in unmarked. The PSV striker equalized and this match is back on even terms.
The question now for the U.S. is whether they'll be able to keep Slovenia quiet with their high line. They have been vulnerable to getting caught napping, as they did on the Matavz goal, and while they've done well to get Slovenia caught offside a few times, they are straddling a fine line.

From Wayne Simmons comes a well-paced, terrifying, frighteningly real zombie horror story.
"Narrator Michael Kramer delivers a pitch-perfect performance. His voice is low and weary, his tone thoroughly creepy. With deliberate pacing, the narrator takes his time with the story---heightening the book's tension in a way that will make listeners squirm.

UK Govt: 'big improvement' in Work Programme
The UK Government says there has been "a really big improvement in performance" from its Work Programme, but Employment Minister Esther McVey will meet her counterpart at the Welsh Government soon, to "ensure jobseekers in Wales have access to the same range of help available to those in England."
– Esther McVey MP, Minister for Employment
There has been a really big improvement in performance from when the Work Programme began in 2011 and we are committed to making sure providers in Wales continue to improve the service they give to jobseekers.
Providers get paid on the results they achieve, so it's in everyone's interest to help as many people into work as possible.
I will soon be meeting with Ken Skates, Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology from the Welsh Government - I want us to work together to ensure jobseekers in Wales have access to the same range of help available to those in England.

It's not often that a woman can sit on a tire or drag a parachute and become the buzz of the sports world.
Already well known as John Force's youngest daughter and NHRA's Rookie of the Year in 2012, Courtney Force's public awareness rose to rock star proportions on July 9 when she graced the cover and the inside pages of ESPN's 2013 Body Issue. On the cover, Force was sitting on a tire. Inside she was pulling a parachute that would deploy at the end of a run in her Funny Car. She wasn't in a fire suit. In fact she wasn't wearing anything except a smile. A discreet placement of an arm and an equally discreet ESPN photographer made the photographs attractive but not provocative.
"The biggest thing I emphasized," Force said in preparation for this weekend's Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway, "was that I didn't want to come across as a pin-up girl. Actually, I had a lot of rules. They wanted me to sit in the car. I said no, that's too weird. They wanted me to stand next to a dune buggy. No way. That's not what I race. I don't want to downplay our sport. They wanted me to lay across the car. That wasn't going to happen either."
Repair shop garages across America are filled with calendars of attractive women in hot pants and halter tops lying across cars. Hardly the working definition of art, which is what Force wanted from the photo shoot.
How Force got to the point in her life that she agreed to meet a dozen people from ESPN in May on the Mojave Desert Salt Flats, that what convinced her to pose sans clothes, all that back story is more interesting than the pictures themselves. A picture, in this case, is not worth a thousand words. It's only the end of a very long sentence, not the beginning of one.
"It wasn't something I wanted to do," Force said, and it wasn't that long ago that she said it. Hers is not the path the most commonly taken, but then again she gave hint a long time ago she was willing to think outside the box.

Two firefighters were hurt working to put out a fire in East Nashville on Thursday night.
Tonight one remains in the hospital while the other is home.
This comes as the firefighters' union works to stop Metro from cutting pay for firefighters who have been hurt on the job.
Shattered glass from a window alerted neighbors that something was wrong at the Airpark Drive home.
Lance Warren ran outside to find the house next door on fire.
"That back bedroom was engulfed in flames," said Warren. "I ran around the side of the house to make sure no one was home."
Warren said luckily no one was home.
Firefighters quickly worked to put out the flames.
When firefighters were inside the home, the unthinkable happened. Two of their own got hurt.
James Trollinger, 61, received burns to his face while David Powell, 56, was found unconscious.
A spokesperson for the fire department said Powell was attempting to leave the home to replace his oxygen tank, which was empty, when he fell down a flight of stairs, which left him in the basement with no air.
Capt. Dale Pickens works with Powell on Engine 18.
He said when word spread that Powell was in critical condition, it put the risk of the job into perspective.
"It's family. You work with these guys for 24 hours at a time for years and years," said Pickens. "You eat with them, sleep with them, joke with them. You know your family inside and out like they know yours."
Currently the firefighters' union said a proposal is set to go before the Civil Service Commission that would cut their salary if hurt on the job.
Union President Mark Young said right now a firefighter gets 100 percent of their pay if they get hurt, but the proposal would cut that to just more than 66 percent.
"We have firefighters that are out every day, saving lives, putting their lives on the line for the community and Nashville," said Young. "Metro needs to step back and re-think this policy."
The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Texas Method and Getting Unstuck from Progression
Disclaimer: This is meant to be a supplement to the Starting Strength Sticky(http://www.wannabebig.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=124795 ) It is best to understand that routine and the information in the Starting Strength sticky before moving on to this routine. Consider it a prerequisite for Texas Method. This is not meant to be a substitute for the book, which is an invaluable resource for form descriptions and troubleshooting. I highly recommend that your purchase a copy of Practical Programming for your personal library.
Get your copy here:
Getting Unstuck from the Linear/Novice Progression in SS
This is the next step to take after SS. Rippetoe and Kilgore go on to write Practical Programming for Strength Training to address the needs of the intermediate trainee. I think it is important to qualify the Rippetoe discussions with a thought or two on linear programming and why you should be doing it.
The basic idea we are all chasing is to see our numbers go up. We can use this as a springboard for hypertrophy training, strength training, etc To achieve this we use various routines and progressions that sell us short. Most routines work, some just better than others. The key here is to start with simplicity (i.e. SS) and slowly add complexity, as our bodies need more diversity in training. This means a couple of things for us trainees. First, if we want to make the most out of what we do in the gym we need to start our bodies off on something simple. When that simple routine stops working we add complexity. By taking this stepwise approach we can eek every pound that we can from each step and be as efficient as possible. But, before changing routines you need to evaluate what has happened to make you level off in your current routine (SS).
When using basic linear programming, like that of SS, there will come a time when you reach a plateau and start seeing your numbers stop increasing, miss reps, or a combination of both.
To get unstuck the possibilities are endless. At this point in the training game the trainee should be getting well acquainted with his own recovery periods. As the trainee approaches his genetic potential and moves past it the more precise the needs are when getting unstuck. A very high level Olympic Weightlifter who is stuck may only require a few weeks of 20rep squats to get unstuck. Likewise, he may also need a break or less volume or intensity. The more advanced the trainee the finer the line of too much/too little.
The most common and efficient approach when stuck from SS is to deload. Loosely, this means drop your working sets by 10% and bring it back up to the sticking point and continue to move past the point. This is the simplest tactic that will not put you too far behind. If you get stuck 3 times then it is time to find something more complex and you are no longer a novice and need to find an intermediate program. Again, this needs to be qualified. If you get stuck it is only a genuine stick if, and only if, the following are all in check: diet, nutrition, rest, consistency, and effort/intensity.
Texas Method and Intermediate Programming
The very next step of complexity comes in the form of Texas Method (another Rippetoe gem). Here is the basic setup:
Monday: Squat 5x5 across
Wednesday: Front Squat 3x3 across OR Squat 2x5 across @ 80% of 5RM
Friday: Squat Work to 5RM
A full week may look like this:
Monday: Volume
Power Clean 5x2 Across
Squat 5x5 across
Bench Press 5x5 across
Deadlift 5RM
Wednesday: Recovery
Front Squat 3x3 across
OH Press 3x5 across
GMs 3x8
Friday: Intensity
Squat Heavy 5
Bench Press Heavy 5
Pendlay Row Heavy 5
This is a mere template. It can be used the way it is shown or with changes. For example, I think dips would be a suitable substitute for bench press. Also, dumbbells can be used in place of barbells along with many other movement variations. Many people like to use RDLs or GMs instead of DLs too. The options are many.
The following rendition of TM is something Ive used in the past and have had great results. This one is specifically focused on increasing the olympic squat and the full snatch. It is the result of an evolved TM. This is a bit more complex due to the way one must load the olympic lifts but it is built upon the same principles as above. There is no problem getting creative but make sure everything has a carefully weighed purpose and meets your recovery needs. If you cannot recover from workout to workout you need to back off of the weight and reevaluate what went wrong and where. Recovery is of the utmost importance.
Snatch High Pull 3x3 @ 85-110% of Max Snatch
Snatch + OH Squat 5x2 @ 85% of Max Snatch
Olympic Squat 5x3
OH Press 5x5
BO Row 5x5
Snatch Balance 3x3 @ 85% of Max Snatch
Snatch High Pull 3x3 @ 85% of Max Snatch
DB Press 3x8
Snatch to a heavy single
Squat to a heavy 1-3
RDL 3x3/ 20 Rep Squat (every other week)
Pullups 3x8
As you can see in the above template each day follows volume, recovery, and intensity respectively. This is a stark delineation from SS. This is where we begin to see individual recovery coming into play, the next step after linear progression for every workout session. Volume is enough to stimulate growth, recovery is, well, recovery and intensity is a chance to move up to the next highest poundage. Each factor augments the other factor extremely well.
How to progress:
You progress by adding weight to the bar on Monday to the net week's Monday, Wednesday to Wednesday, and Friday to Friday. The amount of weight you add to the bar will vary depending on a number of things including: sex, age, weight, diet, experience, etc. General guidelines for a healthy man would be to add:
5-10lbs to the deadlift
5-10lbs to the squat
2.5-5lbs to the bench press, overhead press and powerclean (Most gyms do not have weights that allow you to progress in 2.5lbs increments, so you will have to experiment with microloading. Visit you local hardware store and get creative with chains or washers in order to make smaller weights.)
You will be progressing linearly but rather linear from workout to workout (like in SS) if will be Monday to Monday, Wednesday to Wednesday, and Friday to Friday.
M:Week1/ Week 2
225 x 5x5 / 235 x 5x5
F: Week / Week 2
315 x5 / 325 x5
Briefly, before concluding, I would like to say a word or two about volume on Intensity day. When aiming toward hitting a max it is ever so important to be sure to have enough high end, heavy volume to induce the ability to move to the next weight. Here is an example of a Squat Intensity day's working sets with the goal of doubles:
Max Effort Squat Session
325 x 1
335 x 1
365 x 2, x 2 - Max
355 x 2, x 2
345 x 2, x 2
As a result of the high-end volume the next Intensity session will have a much better chance at hitting a higher PR than if there was less of the high-end volume. This has to do with everything from blazing neuro pathways to being able to hold a certain amount of weight on your shoulders/traps.
This is a great style of progression and should keep things going for sometime. Getting stuck in this progression calls for the same back off period as SS. One great way to avoid getting stuck is to vary the RMs on Friday. You could work on a 4-week cycle working to 5RM, 3RM, 2RM, 1RM, or a 2-week cycle of only doubles and triples, etc You can also work in speed work/ dynamic effort on a max day instead of hitting a max. Working for 10 sets of 2 reps at 50-75% as fast and perfect as possible is highly efficient and worth consideration. Notice, that this method is used by the powerlifters at Westside Barbell and is known as conjugate programming rather than linear programming. Also take note that SS uses linear loading, Westside uses conjugate or two loading phases and Texas Method uses three, sometimes four if speed work/dynamic effort is done. The possibilities are vast and the Texas Method progression should continue for a while.
Remember, this is all about gauging and working with your individual recovery. Extra additions and editions should be looked at very closely and should be weighed as to the benefit it will lend to your major lifts. Doing dips on Wednesday may prove to be detrimental to Fridays workout, so be wise in choosing you movements and your assistance movements, if any.
Most importantly, take things slow and listen to your body. Track you progress in a journal so you can watch and see what worked and what didnt. You will need this knowledge and experience to move to the next level.

That is brilliant! I have been searching for more information about this as i saw it one of the guys's journal. This is a great post and addition to the Starting Strength sticky!
Great post Zen. I just recently started SS and I'm hoping i can ride the progress out until late fall where I plan to do a heavy bulk, and this is great to know that simply changing volume and weight will help with any plateau.
I'm thinking I'm going to get the SS book to read this summer. I also hear a lot about Practical Programming, is it similar in knowledge?
This is awesome dude, but one thing though. Deadlifts shouldn't go on recovery day though in the TM. Deads should either be placed on Volume day or Intensity day. Personally, I put them on Intensity day when I did the TM. This can be confirmed by Rippetoe on his forum. Recovery day is meant to have all "light" exercises, which aids recovery from Monday's very taxing, high volume workout ,and it is useful for preparation for all the PR's that are to be hit on Friday's workout. Deads definately are not considered a "light", and definately shouldn't be used on recovery day.
The whole "deads on Wednesday" thing comes from the internet Madcow 5x5 routine, which is a completely different idea then the Texas method.

Ya definately post a link, because I remember him making a big deal about "recovery day" being about....well, recovery. And deads having the opposite effect of what recovery day is actually for. I tried to do a search for the thread, but I couldn't find it.

I really like this routine.
I get bored if I stay on routines for too long, so this one looks like a good change of pace for 5/3/1.
I realize you're not supposed to stop a routine until gains have been exhausted, but I'm a big fan of changing things up every 10-16 weeks.
I'll probably do 3-4 cycles of 5/3/1 and go on the Texas Method for 6-8 weeks and then jump back into the 5/3/1...
Great series of posts, Zen.

Start kicking ass, and take out the crap that doesnt matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff that works, and do it today and forever. You want science and studies? **** you. Ive got scars and blood and vomit."
Big, big thanks !
I'm in a position where I cannot make the gym three days a week at the moment. I've been working on a push pull routine, but my progress has all but stopped and would like to give the Texas method a go. Can somebody explain the importance of the third day of this routine? would it be a massive deal if i could only do day three say, once a fortnight?
Quick question since I'm supposed to have my first Intensity day today. I'm shooting for 275 for my squat 5RM. If I get 5, should I go back down for another one, essentially just training to failure?
I have a Big 3 total of 140. My curls, and flys are good but the skullcrushers are really holding me back!
I have a Big 3 total of 140. My curls, and flys are good but the skullcrushers are really holding me back!
Well, you might not need that much, that depends on your body, but you do need some top end volume.
Right, but intensity should be ramped to a 5RM then a back off set or two.
Sure, to clarify, once more TM goes:
Stress, Rest, Test
You want to test your abilities on "intensity day" but not necessarily induce the kind of stress that one would get from "volume day". Remember, as you advance there is an ever increasing fine line of too much/too little. The only answer is to listen to how your body responds to certain stimuli.
I have a couple questions, I hope you don't mind. It's time for me to move on to this routine. I read the intermediate chapter. I read that the routine calls for a volume, recovery, and intensity day. I didn't show a routine, I did read where it say's Monday is 5x5 squat, Wed, is front squat (for recovery), and friday is 1 set up to 5rm. I'm just wondering where you got those other lifts listed from? Are you suppost to add in stuff to the volume, recovery, and intensity day and just follow that template? I don't mind doing them, im just wondering. I know how to do everything besides GM's. Thanks for your time.
My Journal: http://www.wannabebig.com/forums/sho...=1#post2241618
Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Row 5x5
Front Squat 3x3
GM 2x5
OH Press 2x5
Squat to Heavy 5
Bench to Heavy 5
DL to Heavy 5
The only trick here is making sure what you did the WO before does not inhibit what you push for on "Intensity Day"
I hope this answered your question. If it is still not clear the feel free to ask more questions.
Depending on you ability (or inability) to go heavy on all three lifts in the same day, another way to set this up is:
Squats 5x5
Bench to heavy 1-5RM (vary each week)
Rows 5x5
Front Squats 3x3
OH Press 2-3x5
DL to heavy 5RM
Squat to heavy 1-5RM (vary each week)
Bench 5x5
GM 2-3x5
This way you can go heavy every day on only one movement.

The safety of food worldwide remains challenged by the potential for emergence of new pathogens and re-emergence of known pathogens. Microorganisms have an inherent ability to evolve–to mutate and adapt to environmental stressors–allowing them to survive otherwise lethal conditions. The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT),1 the 22000-member nonprofit scientific and educational society, convened a panel of internationally renowned experts to address the concern that the use of antimicrobials in food production, manufacturing, and elsewhere may lead to the emergence of foodborne pathogens that are resistant to antimicrobials, thus compromising the ability to subsequently control them, whether in production agriculture, food processing, or human medicine. The outcome of the panel's deliberations is presented in this Expert Report. IFT's objective for this Expert Report is to increase the understanding–among IFT members, senior policy officials, and other interested groups–of the state of the science on the public health impact of the use of antimicrobials in the food system, and development and control of antimicrobial resistance. This report is the fourth Expert Report produced by IFT.
DIGITAL OBJECT IDENTIFIER (DOI) 10.1111/j.1541-4337.2006.00004.x
The availability of antibiotics to treat infectious diseases has radically improved human and animal well being, and to a minor degree, plant health. Paradoxically, this very success threatens the future utility of antibiotics. The discovery of penicillin in 1940 ushered in the era of "modern medicine." Numerous antimicrobials, including most structural classes of antibiotics were discovered during 1920 to 1970. Chemical modification of many of these compounds led to new entities with superior activities. Because of the great success in antibiotic discovery, by the late 1970s, many proclaimed that the war on infectious diseases had been won, leading ultimately to de-emphasis of antibiotic discovery during the 1980s and a decline in the 1990s. At the same time, however, widespread antibiotic resistance was emerging and resulting in impaired treatment of human diseases (Neu 1992). As the genomes of bacteria, especially pathogens, have become increasingly available, the prospect of using them to identify new targets for antibiotic discovery has renewed interest in such investigations between the public sector and large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Many of the larger companies and much of the public sector, however, have redirected research efforts toward noninfectious disease targets.
All uses of antibiotics in human medicine and animal husbandry create selective pressure that favors emergence of antibiotic resistance among microorganisms, which could undermine the effectiveness of the antibiotics and potentially give rise to a "postantibiotic" era. The selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in agricultural production environments and the subsequent impact on animal and human health has become a major concern and is the subject of many reports (Table 1). This document focuses on the use of antimicrobial agents to control bacteria in the food system; other microorganisms are considered as well, however. This document builds upon the IFT Scientific Status Summary "Resistance and Adaptation to Food Antimicrobials, Sanitizers, and Other Process Controls" (IFT 2002a), to inform readers about the various types of antimicrobial agents, including antibiotics, food antimicrobial agents, and sanitizers that are used at various stages of the food system, and the mechanisms that microorganisms, particularly foodborne pathogens, have for surviving the stress of exposure to these substances in their environments. Trends in antimicrobial resistance, and the resultant human health, economic, and clinically relevant environmental impacts are also addressed.

Michael Larson wins the P12 race at Little City Stage Race. Great job Mike!
Western Lithium USA Corp. is developing a major lithium deposit in Northwest Nevada with the intent of supplying new lithium demand requirements brought on by the wide spread adoption of lithium-ion batteries for consumer electronics and, increasingly, electric and hybrid vehicles.
Lithium demand for batteries has grown steadily over the past several years and is forecast by Roskill to grow annually by 21.5% until 2017 (1). Western Lithium believes that demonstrated new acceptance of electrified vehicles as plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will increase demand for lithium further over the next several years.
Western Lithium believes that a domestic supply chain will emerge in the United States consisting of new innovation and invention around lithium powder chemistries, and battery technology. As a domestic supplier of lithium molecules, we think we are well positioned to fuel this important technology for the future of automation, energy optimization and energy storage.

HPHT drilling environments are encountered for certain shale and deep offshore oil and gas deposits. Western Lithium believes that HPHT opportunities will continue to grow as new directional drilling technology is used to globally target new unconventional oil and gas reserves.
The Hectatone™ organoclay plant is on schedule to begin manufacturing specialty drilling fluid additives in the fall of 2014.

I have to say that this hotel has some really positive reviews online when I planned my trip so that was the main reason I opted to stay here and the trip turned out okay for me as I didnt have that much problems at the hotel. I have to admit though that at the reception check in was pretty slow but asides that little inconvenience, every other thing went well for me. The front desk staff should be more eager to attend to customers for check in as I got a hint of unwillingness from them but like I said, that was just a little inconvenience I didnt bother myself with and went ahead to have a nice time here. When I eventually got to my room, it was worth the wait because apart from it being clean and all, it was spacious and had a well equipped and spacious bathroom as well. The room had amenities such as television with variety of channels and the bed was very comfortable, the room also had a nice looking balcony. There was a little ant problem as well even though it didnt disturb my sleep or anything like that, it was rather uncomfortable to think that ants share the same room as me so I would ask for them to take care of that, I spent two nights here. The buffet breakfast was really nice and had varieties to eat and there was also a varied selection of drinks as well.

We spent few days in Havana and we really enjoyed this place. The hotel is a bit far from the city center, but in a nice and quiet district were most of the embassies are located.
We stayed on third floor with two large double beds and a flat TV, our room was clean, well maintained and had every things you may need.
We loved the swimming pool, huge with a lovely view to the sea and it was really a nice place to relax for a couple of hours.
Main restaurant was ok, but maybe a bit chaotic for breakfast due to the high occupancy during our stay.
The lobby bar was a pleasant place at night to drink a couple of mojitos and listen a good Cuban music.
I definitely would stay here again if I came back to Habana.

Good morning, I stayed at your hotel in May 2008 and the service, staff, facilities and food were excellent. I had the opportunity to talk to two of the people working at the restaurant and I would like to contact them. They are Mr. Adolfo Castillo Arias and Ricardo. They worked on the morning shift. I would like to contact them for friendship reasons. In addition, I want to travel there again in 2010 and stay in this hotel and in another one in Santa Clara, a region I would like to visit. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Cuba is an excellent, wonderful country, which teaches people about everything. What I admire the most is its tenacity to continue moving forward. I LOVE CUBA and I want to learn about all of it. Once again, thank you for your attention and cooperation.

Expansion leads to apprentice scheme
12:00pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in News
has announced plans for a new apprenticeship scheme as part of its plans to expand.
Eastleigh-based FireCare Solutions Ltd wants to take on at least one trainee a year and hopes to increase this number in the future.
This year the firm has drafted in Bradley Abrahams to work as a fire alarm and extinguisher engineer on a three-year electrical apprenticeship, in partnership with Eastleigh College.
Managing director Darren George said: "We've taken Bradley on because of the additional volume of work we are generating, twice as much in the past 12 months as in the year before. We are committed to employing local staff and investing in young people and we expect to take on a new apprentice each year."

Do you like international friendlies? Who doesn't like international friendlies?!? Okay, probably the club managers of all of the players who are playing today, but they're all a bunch of Debbie Downers anyway. No one who plays for a team I personally support is playing in today's friendly between Germany and Brazil, so I'm very much in support of it being a thing. I'm also in support of both teams fielding extremely strong, if not entirely first choice lineups.
Germany's lineup is kind of odd, and I am assuming that Christian Träsch is a fullback. Brazil's makes a lot more sense. Here are the lineups
Germany lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels, Träsch; Schweinsteiger, Kroos; Podolski, Götze, Müller; Gomez
Brazil lineup (4-3-3): Julio Cesar; Andre Santos, Thiago Silva, Lucio, Daniel Alves; Ralf, Fernandinho, Ramires; Robinho, Neymar, Pato
The game kicks off at 2:45 pm ET and can be seen on ESPN3.com in the USA. We'll have live coverage of this and all of the other big friendlies in this StoryStream.

ANDERSON, Ind. — Did you know there's futuristic, Star Trek-style tech gear being built right here in Madison County?
Producing everything from lasers to software, fuel efficient cars to advanced germ fighters, the county is home to innovative problem-solvers and tech gurus, many drawn from the long local history with manufacturing, engineering and technology.
"This area is still a repository for some very gifted people in electrical and mechanical engineering," many of whom have trickled into the companies at the Flagship Enterprise Center and business park, said CEO Chuck Staley. "Several of them are on our board and serve as mentors and guides to many young companies."
The five-building, nearly 300,000-square-foot Flagship exists, "to be a premier technology based business center, creating, growing and attracting jobs, and contributing to the long-term economic development," he said, for the city, county and all of Indiana. And, in many cases, that means big flashy, high-tech gadgets that might fit aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Whether through its micro-loan program or business incubation, Flagship has played at least a small part in the development of everything from software to military defense technology, such as Coeus Technology's Monofoil, a high-tech anti-microbial that prevents the reproduction of icky things like staph, E. coli, MRSA, H1N1, fungi and black mold.
"While we do not require our companies to be technology driven, many are," Staley said. "Our sweet spot is, and always has been, power electronics, energy storage, advanced manufacturing, software development/consulting and electrical engineering." For example:
Boosting fuel economy
In the green-tech vein is EchoDrive, developed by Echo Automotive, whose automotive battery and electric vehicle technology development occupies Bright Automotive's old space at Flagship.
The aftermarket, bolt-on EchoDrive converts fleet vehicles, notably the Ford 250 van, into plug-in electric hybrids, enabling them to travel up to 100 miles per six- to eight-hour charge. The "revolutionary cost-reduction platform," Staley said, was hailed by the National Truck Equipment Association as "Most Innovative Product" earlier this year.

Major League Baseball teams with Habitat to help rebuild Gulf Coast
MLB postseason platform to support housing reconstruction effort
As part of Habitat's Operation Home Delivery, volunteers build containerized houses outside Minute Maid Park in Houston, national league location of the Major League Baseball 2005 World Series. Volunteers will reassemble the houses in partnership with families displaced by Hurricane Katrina – Photo Gallery [1]
Major League Baseball will leverage its biggest events of the year, the 2005 Division Series, League Championship Series and World Series, to raise money and awareness to help build housing in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita through Habitat for Humanity International, it was announced today.
The announcement of this new initiative follows the initial phase of the league's hurricane relief effort benefiting the American Red Cross. The overall combined efforts of the Office of the Commissioner, Club owners, players, and fans have raised more than $10 million for hurricane relief to date.
"The Major League Baseball postseason provides a great opportunity to contribute to the next step of the hurricane relief efforts – the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast region," said Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "While we took immediate action to help in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, those efforts were only an initial response. We are pleased to do what we can to aid in the enormous task of rebuilding this region of the country."
As part of this effort to benefit those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Major League Baseball will make a donation of $1 million to the Habitat for Humanity International rebuilding effort, called "Operation Home Delivery." In addition, beginning tonight with the start of the Division Series, and running through the conclusion of the World Series, MLB will provide collection boxes at the gates of all ballparks hosting postseason games for fans to donate to the Habitat's rebuilding effort.
The $1 million donation will help fund the construction of one new home in each MLB market through the Habitat For Humanity program. The entire baseball community will take part in this effort, with new homes specifically designated for those affected by the Gulf Coast Hurricanes being constructed in parking lots or designated areas around each MLB ballpark.
In addition, Major League Baseball will utilize in-game advertising during its postseason games to promote the initiative through both domestic and international postseason broadcasts. The promotional efforts are designed to inform fans of how they can make donations to the Habitat for Humanity rebuilding effort through the telephone number, 1-800-HABITAT and the Web site www.habitat.org [2]. The promotion will include TV drop-ins and signage behind home plate, as well as national advertising inventory on ESPN Radio and XM Satellite radio during all postseason games.
Additionally, MLB.com [3], the official Web site of Major League Baseball will feature a link to the Habitat for Humanity Web site where fans can make online donations.
Also as part of its postseason efforts, Game 3 of the 2005 World Series will have a special theme to highlight the overall hurricane rebuilding effort. The special rebuilding effort elements will be geared to reach fans in attendance at the ballpark as well as those watching on television and listening on radio.

Associate of Science Degree in Nursing Programs - Enroll Now!
The Associate Degree in Nursing provides students with an academic foundation in nursing on top of clinical experience. As students move through the rigorous curriculum, they are supported by attentive professors in both the classroom and small clinical group settings and they are mentored by a nursing faculty advisor. Students quickly receive hands-on experience, starting their clinicals after the first month of classes. Upon completion of the Associates Nursing Degree program, students are eligible to take the Registered Nurse Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) in order to begin providing direct care to patients and become a licensed RN. Most graduates pursue the Bachelor of Science degree program at Gwynedd Mercy University and the Associate of Science in Nursing is articulated with the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program which requires the equivalent of two years of either full-time or part-time study.
We are proud to say that graduates of the ASN first time NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses) passing rate for 10/1/12 to 9/30/13 was 84%. The national first time passing rate was 84.29%.
The Associate of Science in Nursing Program prepares graduates for entry-level nursing practice as nurse generalists. Students are assisted to develop service oriented and caring behaviors in clinical practice by recognizing, responding to, and valuing caring as the foundation for the profession of nursing. Students integrate concepts from the physical, social and behavioral sciences and humanities with nursing knowledge and evidence-based practice. Using the nursing process as a critical thinking framework students provide safe, quality and individualized nursing care to patients and families within a community context.

Boy meets girl, they rock each other's world, and it's all done to the tune of the 1980s L.A. rock scene in … "Rock of Ages."
This rags-to-riches rock 'n' roll musical is set mostly in a music club on Sunset Strip. A lot of the entertainment, with some energetic musical numbers, includes several big names (Tom Cruise, Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin.) The two leads are Diego Boneta, as a bartender, and Julianne Hough, as a naive kid just off the bus from the Midwest. They prove that they too can sing covers of '80s rock classics.
Basically the film is a set of songs linked together by a very weak story line (so as not to fool you into thinking you are watching a large-scale cover band concert). Honestly, it's not a good movie, but I think it will be a crowd-pleaser. The Broadway musical is better but, still, seeing Tom Cruise make fun of himself is priceless.
The movie is so silly and so dumb you should check it out just for the tongue and cheek of it all. The supporting cast also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones and Paul Giamatti, great actors who don't have a problem hamming it up.
Despite the lack of REAL rock the Flick-O-Meter gives "Rock of Ages" a three out of five.
What you see is what you get … it's either going to do very well at the box office or be a total flop.
In my opinion, you could get more entertainment out of two hours of karaoke … just saying.
Hey, get social, head to my Facebook fan page; it's called TheBrettSide. Click Like.
'Rock of Ages' opens this weekend at in Johns Creek.

Certified Ubuntu on HP Server
HP and Canonical are working together to get Ubuntu certified for HPs Proliant servers.
According to a study by Canonical (registration needed), the popularity of the Ubuntu server system is far greater than that of Debian, Centos, Red Hat or Novell, and a diagram in the Ubuntu blog also shows the extensive proliferation of HP hardware.
HP and Canonical regard the outcome of the study as an opportunity to intensify their cooperation on the server market. As a result, all Proliant HP servers are to issue an Ubuntu certification, and, as Matt Murphy says in his blog, the two companies have promised to work even closer together to optimize compatibility of HP servers and Ubuntu.
Certified Ubuntu on HP ServerHP and Canonical are working together to get Ubuntu certified for HPs Proliant servers. For those who feel that the concept of this blog is quite interesting, the probability is you are thinking about using Linux as your number one or simply a substitute Operating system when you find yourself simply sick and tired of your old OS. Unfortunately the majority feel that Linux is too challenging that it is attractive only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com might demonstrate that this extraordinary operating-system is essentially for most people. It is regularly worthwhile to find out about Certified Ubuntu on HP Server.
Celina Lancon,
Ubuntu popularityJust to be clear the Ubuntu server survey showed how Ubuntu is doing in the enterprise. It doesn't make any statements about Ubuntu server being more popular that other distributions.

Following a competitive essay contest, the Otsego County Conservation Association has awarded nine students from three participating schools the opportunity of a week-long stay at New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Education Camp.
Working with the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society, OCCA selected the winning submissions from more than 70 essays written by Cooperstown, Milford and Oneonta middle-school students. The top three essay writers, and alternates in the event that the winners cannot attend camp, are:
• Cooperstown: Lydia Williams, John Kelley and Grace LeCates (Catherine Thompson, alternate)
• Milford Central School: Toby Harmon, Finn Hall and Lauren Saggese (Grace Brennan, alternate)
• Oneonta Middle School: Joshua Grimm, Hafsa Mohammad and Gabriella Basdekis (Emma Tavarone, alternate)
OCCA will sponsor the campers at $350 per student, thanks to funds provided by DOAS and a private donor. Alternates will be rewarded for their hard work as well with a small cash prize. Emily Kuhlmann of Oneonta Middle School, who authored the best essay written by a student not applying to attend camp, will receive $50.
Otsego and Delaware county students ages 11-13 were invited to compete for camperships via the essay contest. In 750 words or less, they were asked to consider "Why Environmental Stewardship is Important" and to examine why a healthy, well-managed environment is essential to them now and in the future. Middle-school teachers were welcome to incorporate the essay contest into their lesson plans.
"Many thanks to middle-school teachers Kathy Hardison, Eamonn Hinchey and Amy Parr, who were willing to make the essay-writing exercise part of their class work," Darla M. Youngs, OCCA executive director, said in a media release. "We went from less than 20 entries last year to more than triple that number."
"Thanks as well to Jim Hill and Susan O'Handley, who joined me in reading all these wonderful essays. The students' work provided great insight into how they feel about the environment and their concerns about the issues that face not only their generation but also those to come," she continued.
OCCA is a private, non-profit environmental membership organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation and sustainable use of Otsego County's natural resources through education, advocacy, resource management, research, and planning. For more information on OCCA or to support programming, call, 547-4488 or visit www.occainfo.org.
