The importance of 'being present' or 'in the moment' has become more recognised in recent years as the trend of taking a holistic approach to mental health and well-being has grown. In particular, there has been an increasing collision of Eastern and Western culture in terms of applied strategies that athletes can use to enhance competitive performance.
There is a lot of information in research and practice journals and magazines about embracing Eastern philosophies regarding mind control.
Which of these philosophies relate to elite sport performance and more specifically, golf performance? Mindfulness is not a new concept to Eastern philosophies, but in this article, I will look at the application of mindfulness for golfers of all abilities.
The topic of Eastern practices hit the golf headlines with the advent of Tiger Woods' rapid escalation and sustained dominance at the top of the world rankings. He has often quoted his mother's Buddhist practices, in particular meditation, as a factor in achieving his success.
The breath plays a pivotal role in meditation and as such there has been an emergence of breathing techniques and software programs that aim to achieve similar outcomes to those achieved with meditation, such as being present. For example, several golf touring professionals such as Darren Clarke, Ian Woosnam, and Nick Dougherty have used HeartMath software, which assists players to stay in the present through a greater focus on the synchrony between their breathing and heart rhythms. Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott also use this software to help players achieve peak performance through effective emotional management.
Elite athletes from a variety of sports are turning to alternative practices to enhance performance and there are several techniques that assist golfers to be present to perform consistently at their best.
During the most recent Olympic campaign, I encouraged one athlete to attend yoga classes to help with her 'busy' mind. One of the challenges elite athletes find when engaging in the acceptance-oriented yoga is that they do care about the outcome and yes, it does matter if their technique is not quite right. The acceptance of where things are at for a particular day is not a common trait amongst the successful elite athletic population, particularly in a training or practice environment. So, when this particular athlete displayed her competitive nature by asking the yoga instructor about ways she could really improve her technique, she was met with a blank stare.
The purpose of recounting this story is, that like most tools, techniques and strategies, there is no 'one size fits all' and that it is very important to consider the match between a person's goals and the particular discipline. It is vital that athletes, coaches, instructors, and psychologists (or any practitioner working with elite athletes) take the time to work out how a discipline will best apply to that person.
More specifically, the often very chilled nature of yoga classes and the associated mindful approach can be a far cry from the grueling tough and aggressive nature of many athletes, when in competitive mode. Therefore, it is very important to ensure there is a practical application of any activity to the relevant situation for your sport. Too often we can get caught up in the new trends and pop psychology rather than actually what is truly relevant for you and your sport performance.
Let's now take a look at what aspects of the practice of being present can be applied to the grueling world of elite sport.
Just like the instruction "Be present!" is a modern take on "Focus!", mindfulness is one of the latest popular approaches in applied psychological practice.
So, what is mindfulness? Mindfulness is about experiencing the world that is firmly in the 'here and now.' Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. This mode is referred to as the being mode.
The Centre for Clinical Interventions in Western Australia provides five Core Features of Mindfulness (www.cci.health.wa.gov.au). For the purpose of this article, I have paraphrased the five features below:
1. Observing
The first major element of mindfulness involves observing your experience in a manner that is more direct and sensual (sensing mode), rather than being analytical (thinking mode). A natural tendency of the mind is to try and think about something rather than directly experience it. Mindfulness aims to shift one's focus of attention away from thinking to simply observing thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations (e.g., touch, sight, sound, smell, taste).
2. Describing
This aspect of mindfulness relates to noticing the very fine details of what you are observing. For example, if you are observing something like a golf ball, the aim is to describe what it looks like, its shape, colour, and texture. You might place a descriptive name to it, like "white", "dimpled", or "round". The same process also can be applied to emotions (e.g., "heavy", "tense").
3. Participating Fully
An aim of mindfulness is to allow yourself to consider the whole of your experience, without excluding anything. Try to notice all aspects of whatever task or activity you are doing, and do it with your full care and attention.
4. Being Non-Judgmental
It is important to adopt an accepting stance towards your experience. A significant reason for prolonged emotional distress relates to attempts to avoid or control your experience. When being more mindful, no attempt is made to evaluate experiences or to say that they are good, bad, right, or wrong, and no attempt is made to immediately control or avoid the experience. Accepting all of one's experience is one of the most challenging aspects of mindfulness, and takes time and practice to develop.
5. Focusing on One Thing at a Time
When observing your own experience, a certain level of effort is required to focus your attention on only one thing at a time, from moment to moment. It is natural for distracting thoughts to emerge while observing, and there is a tendency to follow and 'chase' these thoughts with more thinking. The art of 'being present' is to develop the skill of noticing when you have drifted away from the observing and sensing mode, into thinking mode. When this happens it is not a mistake, but just acknowledge it has happened, and then gently return to observing your experience.
So, how do you become a mindful golfer? Mindfulness is a skill that can be learnt and takes time to develop. It is not easy to master, and like any skill it requires a certain level of effort, time, patience, and ongoing practice.
Here are some mindfulness techniques that golfers have found helpful for their golf, starting with some simple exercises you can do in your daily life right through to your time on the course.
In your daily life
On the range
On the course
Some of these strategies are ones that you would have already heard about and you may have even tried. This goes to show that mindfulness is not a new practical application. However, it is one that is extremely useful to experiment with in your life and game to keep the mind from buzzing around, using energy, often ineffectively.
Now it's your turn to try to "Be present!"

Used to listen to this when i was younger | Reviewer: Hammer | 8/8/2008
and now when I listen to it, it seems very juvenile. It actually reminds of the kinds of things we used to say as kids, always trying to be vile and disgusting to each other just for shock value. But now when I listen it just seems shallow and without meaning, the lyrics are no longer shocking and most of the songs I'm (re)discovering a lack creativity. I still beleive the album is art, and it was new and different in its time. After all, ICP made an impact in music (went platinum), and while it was an odd impact, it was change, and it was noticed. So I give them props for doing what they did and starting something new. I'm sure there are many kids out there in my position though who have since 'grown up' and looked back on this group with a chuckle.
Gotta love it | Reviewer: Bake | 3/23/2008
I listen to almost nothing but ICP (and nothing but Psychopathic Records) and I'd have to agree with "josh" that some of the songs tend to get old, however, Halls of Illusion and Under the Moon are two of my favorites out of any album I own.
the "great" milenko | Reviewer: josh | 5/17/2007
its one of their more popular and it is great but some of the tracks get old a bit faster than from their other albums.....(the neden game is badass)

crippled for fear of crapping your self
Dude I almost crapped myself because I was so crappled last night.

When you sit on the toilet for so long your legs go numb.
One time I was on the toilet at work playing on my phone and looking at pictures of girls I've slept with and I got crappled. I had to crawl out under the bathroom stall door using my hands and drag my body back to my desk. After a few minutes I was able to feel my legs again and pull up my pants.

You named your baby what?
Over the weekend, not one, but
two celebrities welcomed wee packages of joy into their lives. No, not
that kind of wee package of joy, Lindsay Lohan. Geez, I thought
you got that straightened out. Still, as word got out that Nicole
Richie and Christina Aguilera
had given birth, I braced for the inevitable. The inevitable being whatever
wacky, weird thing they decided to name their kids. Like, say, Tundra
or Unicorn or Suri.
Luckily, both Richie and Aguilera decided to go relatively restrained,
with Harlow Winter Kate Madden (for Nicole's little girl) and Max
Liron Bratman (for Christina's little boy).
But other celebrities have
been considerably less, shall we say, discreet when naming their offspring.
Pilot Inspektor? Fifi Trixibelle? Sage Moonblood? Moxie Crimefighter?
(The bad parents being, respectively, Jason Lee, Bob Geldof,
Sylvester Stallone and Penn Jillette.) Dudes, do you not love
your children?
With so many celebrities pregnant
and expecting babies this year (among them Halle Berry, Jessica
Alba, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Lily Allen
and Jamie Lynn Spears — OK, so maybe I'm being liberal with
the term celebrity), I'd like to enter a public plea. Please,
for the love of your offspring not getting wedgies on the playground,
stop naming your children insane things. It's too late for Audio Science
Clayton (actress Shannyn Sossamon's boy). But maybe we can
spare future generations the teasing and the taunting.
Now, I don't mind unusual
or different names, per se. Peter Sarsgaard
and Maggie Gyllenhaal named their daughter Ramona, and I totally
dig that, in part because I totally dug those books. Jennifer Garner
and Ben Affleck have the cutest little Violet. And I don't
even really mind Gwyneth Paltrow
and her adorable Apple. OK, now I'm lying. That last one bugs me.
Children are not fruit. Sometimes fruity, sure, but never part of the
food pyramid.
Look, celebrities, I wish you
all happy, healthy bouncing bundles of joy in the coming year. Just, for heaven's sake, please don't name your children something that sounds like you've lost a particularly hilarious, drunken game of Mad Libs.

This is in response to a letter to the editor in last week's Port Washington News (Feb. 8). In said letter, Dana Geiger suggested that "the proper way to accomplish the enhancement of our school facilities is to do some of it each year ... fund $2-3 million per year ..."
I respectfully disagree with that theory. Let's say, for argument's sake that we abandon all reason and fiscal responsibility and deem it "proper" to proceed with Ms. Geiger's funding scenario. Where do we start? How do we prioritize? In short, who gets the short end of the stick for a few years? Can any of our needs afford to wait five to 10 years for the attention they deserve right now? If you were building a house would you build the living room, see how it turns out then proceed with another room til that was done to your satisfaction and so on? I think not.
In addition, I find fault with Ms. Geiger's assessment that our school board has a one sided educator/administrator view and not that of a taxpayer. I dare say that all the members of our board, being Port Washington residents are ipso facto taxpayers.
The real point, however, is that our schools are in dire and immediate need of improvement and expansion. These are not mere wish list luxuries. Look at the numbers of the incoming kindergarten classes. Walk through the cafeteria at Weber. It isn't big enough to accommodate an entire grade during lunch. Do the math.
Please join me in voting for the school bond on March 20. We can't afford to wait another year.

Take your kids to work day invaded our offices last week, and Organic Gardening entertained the kiddos with a project that combined our love (nature) with the kids' love (sugar). The kids candied pansies and mint leaves, and most were shocked when they actually enjoyed how they tasted. So we decided to share this little project with all of you; it's a great way to keep kids busy, but if done delicately it can also be a beautiful pastry decoration (and if you manage to put the two together, free labor!).
Start with a bowl of egg whites, a bowl of white sugar, a paintbrush and any edible flower or plant.
Brush the egg white carefully onto the leaves or petals of the plant, making sure to cover every part.
Then dust, dip, or paint the sugar onto the wet leaves or petals.
Let dry (most of the kids skipped this step in favor of a sugar rush) and use in any number of creative ways (cakes, drinks, waking up in the morning)
Below are some flowers Christa did at home
Thanks to Megan and Sean for being great models, and our Photo Director Christa Neu for her pictures
Anyone who knows me knows that my first and true love is salmon. I love salmon sushi, salmon pasta, salmon mousse; if it's made out of salmon, I love it. One of my favorite salmon recipes is my family's poached salmon which, I kid you not, has three ingredients. I'll get to that in a minute, but first the not-so-tasty topic of GMO's. The FDA will soon decide on whether to approve the sale of salmon which has been genetically altered to grow twice as fast as it normally would. nytimes.com has a great article on the topic, and I can't speak intelligently on the issues of food politics or scientific modification of organisms. The question I would like to pose is much more basic – should we eat this stuff? I love salmon (clearly) and I'm all for inexpensive, healthy food, and theoretically, creating more salmon would lower its price. But should we be altering other living creatures on a genetic level? We've been altering plants for years (40% of american corn is genetically modified – The World According to Monsanto), is that more okay than altering fish? I have never walked up to my grocer and asked if any of the produce I was buying was a GMO. Have I helped support an industry that has modified food, and therefore encouraged it to move on to animals? These aren't questions that can be answered in a blog, but they are questions we should be asking ourselves. We, hopefully, ask our doctors and our pharmacists questions before we put lab-created medicine in our bodies. Why don't we do the same thing with the food we eat every single day?
Even after all of that, I could still go for some lox. If you are able to get non-farm raised, wild salmon, try my family's poached salmon recipe, it may be the simplest thing you've ever made.
Poached Salmon
1 small salmon fillet
2 Tablespoons fat free mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon dill
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put salmon in a glass baking dish. Spread mayonnaise on top of the fillet, and sprinkle dill to cover the mayonnaise. Fill the baking dish with approx. 1/4 inch of water, and cover with aluminum foil. Put in oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy!
A report came on NPR last night that left me so terrified I wanted to get out of my car and give it all up, right there and then. It wasn't a report on the oil spill or the wars, it was a story on a new basil blight that has been appearing over on this side of the country. I'm nowhere near qualified to go into the science or specifics of basil blight, so you can read and hear the NPR report here. But the idea of loosing my precious basil made me want to cry. My basil is such a faithful, trustworthy plant. Everything else in my garden is flirting with producing, kind of looking coy and sprouting a flower here and there. The basil is producing and bringing me loads of gardening pleasure, while the other plants are currently just using me for my water (full disclosure – I would too if I was a plant in this heat wave, but I digress). The report said that cases have been reported in New York, New Jersey and Ohio, amongst other places. Let's think about this – it's a disease transmitted through the air, and what's the air that connects New York, New Jersey and Ohio? That's right, it's Pennsylvania! The home to my poor, dear, sweet basil. You should all read the NPR article, it has great information and pictures on what to look for. I especially like the suggestion at the end of the article, that if you find the spores on your basil, harvest what isn't affected, and start stockpiling pesto. For ideas on how to preserve basil, in case you get hit, check out this article from Organicgardening.com.
I feel that my revelations in this blog are only news to my fellow newbies and myself. I can just picture all of you experienced gardeners, shaking your head at my wonderment over something you learned 25 years ago. But alas, I suppose I'm here to entertain you, and remind you of when you, too, were a newbie gardener. So today's revelation: plants are as needy as three-year-old children! They require constant care and attention, and if you leave them by themselves for, say, a weekend, they're likely to not survive. Now, I would never dare leave a three-year-old alone for 10 minutes, let alone 2 days. But I leave my plants alone all the time, and trust that they will fend for themselves. With the rare exception – basil, which I'm convinced will grow anytime, anyhow, possibly in the desert – my plants are all sickly and sad when I return from a few day's absence. Now I know that I need to care for my plants, but I didn't realize that when I planted my garden, I was putting myself in the position of parent for the next five or so months. I'm too young to be a parent. I'm not ready. My life has turned into an episode of "16 & Sprouting." But with my trustworthy friend Mimi by my side, I think I'll be able to overcome these co-dependency jitters and raise a garden that will eventually get on okay without me. Or one that will live in the basement and snack on Doritos all day. Here's hoping for the former.
It was with great sadness last night that I uprooted the first plant to give me joy. It was my pea plant, the one that sprouted and gave me such happiness way back when. This pea gave me the courage to believe in myself and my shoddy gardening skills. It made me think that I, humble little katie, could create life. That I could plant a seed, give it water and watch it grow. But just as I held that little pea's creation in my hands, I also held it's death. Yes, with the same hands that gave that little pea life, I took it away. I took it away by leaving for two weeks, by ignoring it while I moved and by foolishly trying to transplant it into my bigger community garden plot, when clearly all it wanted was to stay in its cozy little container and produce pods. My pea plant left behind 7 pods, which were promptly eaten by my fellow gardener. I will never forget you, dear pea plant. May you compost in peace.

I'm not yet the fastest, the strongest or the leanest, but I do love to run. I was born to run. We were all born to run. But unfortunately, in Scotland we were also born more likely to have our lives cut prematurely short with many Scottish males not living much beyond 50 years old.. We smoke too much, we drink too much and we sit about too much (You all must really love my posts- disabled children, mental illness and now premature death).
So this week, I thought I'd share the words of Dr Andrew Murray. You may remember him as that dude who ran seven ultra-marathons in seven continents in seven days last November. But, to me, he is an inspirational runner and more importantly a huge advocate of physical activity. I shared a stage with him last year at the Paths For All Networking Event and his words resonate as much now, as they did then.
You don't have to run marathons. You don't need to be Usain Bolt. All you need to do is be more active, more often to keep the monster that is Smokadiabesity at bay.
The Men's 10K is the most inclusive race I know. It doesn't matter if you are 15 or 50 years old, 15 stone or 50 stone or can run 5K in 15 minutes or 50 minutes. Everyone is welcome and everyone supports each other. But for many the prospect of running 10K may be a daunting one, especially those new to running or those who have yet to start and are looking at the Men's 10K as the starting point to getting fit.
Ask any runner and they'll all usually say that the only way to get faster and run further is to run more (as much as I love running, there has to be another way).
And what better way to run more (until I find an alternative, that is), than to run every day. And don't worry, I'm not suggesting we all copy Rodger and run EVERY day of our life (not yet, anyway). In fact I'm not even saying you have to actually run, for that matter.
Instead I would suggest maybe making a pledge to run, cycle, swim or walk 5K or even do 30 minutes of activity every day for 50 days. And that activity can be Thai boxing, badminton, yoga or even Zumba, if the notion takes you (I've tried all four and I'm equally inept at them, as I am at running).
And while you are at it, why not do it with some friends, family and colleagues? By being active for 50 days (not as impossible as you might think) you may just develop a thirst for more and embark on a fitter, more fun and er, longer life.
I did the Run The World Challenge for seven days last year (to coincide with Doc Murray's ultras) and loved it, so I personally can't wait to get started on March 31st
Should you want to try it yourself simply go to http://5×50.co.uk/about-5×50 and sign up, for as little as £5 and see what doing 50 days of physical activity can do for you. And hell, if you do smoke 50 a day, let me know, and I might have a special blog to help you stop. Got some great contributors signed up for future blogs.

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.
At the start of each new Congress, the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate take this oath of office. The same oath is administered each year to more than 400 high school students from across the country at the beginning of the annual Student Congress competition.
Since 1991, the Stennis Center has sponsored the John C. Stennis National Student Congress as part of the National Speech & Debate Association's National Tournament. The country's top high school debaters assemble every June to compete for the honor of the nation's best.
The Stennis Center supports Student Congress as leadership training for public service. Rex Buffington, executive director of the Stennis Center, told the participants, "This program is a fertile training ground for talented individuals who want to use their leadership abilities to help make our communities, states, nation and world better."
The year 2003 marked a milestone in the competition with the retirement of Iowa debate coach Harold Keller, affectionately known as "Mr. Congress." As the National Clerk of the Congress since 1978, Keller has played a major role in planning and implementing Student Congress for 25 years. He prints and distributes legislation, organizes the chambers, supervises judging and scoring, and records and checks the results.
Billy Tate, the NFL national president, said, "No person has done more to promote and improve NFL Stennis Student Congress as an event that Harold Keller." James Copeland, the NFL national secretary, stated, "Harold is directly responsible for the expansion of Congress to 16 Chambers, the semifinals, the National Student Congress Rule Book, the format to select champions and the upgrading of Congress awards." The Stennis Center for Public Service established the Harold Keller Public Service Leadership Award to honor this long-time leader of the Stennis Student Congress. The award that pays tribute to Keller's long-time support recognizes an individual who has successfully applied lessons learned through Student Congress to become an effective leader in public service. It is awarded annually at the National Forensic League Tournament.
The Student Congress event impacts not only the hundreds who attend the national tournament, but the thousands of students nationwide who compete for the right to attend nationals. And its legacy is lasting. Marc Adler, who recently completed a term as student body president at the University of Florida, said, "Student Congress taught me that in order to make progress you need to learn to respect and appreciate other people's points of view." He added, "It also taught me how to be a citizen and that it is my business as a citizen to know about the government that guides my country."
This competition has carried the work of the Stennis Center nationwide. Sites for the Stennis Student Congress have included Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah. The 2014 competition was in Kansas City, and the 2015 tournament will be held in Dallas, Texas.

Today's Leader Post
Latest News
Duncan touts new education legislation
Mark Kennedy, Postmedia NewsPublished: Friday, February 08, 2013
Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan says the Conservative government plans to pass legislation next year that will provide better educational standards for aboriginal children in schools on reserves throughout Canada.
In an exclusive interview with Postmedia News, Duncan said the forthcoming legislation is a centrepiece of the government's agenda for improving the lives of the country's First Nations people.
Duncan also spoke candidly about other issues, such as: His personal reaction to the poverty he sometimes sees on reserves; whether a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women is needed; and how Canadians have reacted to the Idle No More movement and Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence's protest.
Duncan has been at the heart of a political storm in recent weeks, as aboriginal leaders and opposition parties accuse the Harper government of neglecting long-standing problems of inequality and poverty that plagues Canada's First Nations.
In the Commons, MPs have blasted the Tories for failing to provide proper housing, health care and education to aboriginals. And at a Senate committee this week, some Liberal senators walked out on Duncan as he explained his bill that will require aboriginal band councils to provide more public information about their expenses, such as salaries.
Speaking to Postmedia News, Duncan defended his government's record and maintained it has taken significant action in areas such as settling aboriginal grievances and providing new funds for First Nations.
"We have been doing a lot," he said.

Charlies Angels
28 Days Later
Capturing The Friedmans
By Dennis Morton
Ive seen four films in the past week. Two were advanced
screenings and the other two are playing now in area theatres.
Ill start with the latter.
The latest installment of Charlies Angels is a ubiquitous
presence in American theatres right now. Its the top box
office draw in the country. Still, on my own, I wouldnt
have chosen to see it. But it was my friends turn to choose.
I entered the darkened temple with extremely low expectations.
To my great surprise, I found myself enjoying the movie. Especially
Drew Barrymore. She manages to seem simultaneously vulnerable
and invincible. For those of us who remember the Angels from
TV, there is the reassuringly avuncular voice of John Forsythe
as the disembodied Charlie. And, to spice up the stew of athletic
pulchritude, theres even a fallen angel, played by Demi
Moore. This episode of Charlies Angels doesnt take
itself too seriously, which is good, because its a funny
film. It opens with Cameron Diaz riding a mechanical yak in
a bar populated with hordes of Mongol bad guys. Thats
about all you need to know. Its not art, but it is entertainment.
For a few hours of harmless diversion, check this one out.
While in London last Fall, my friend and I watched 28 Days Later
in a small movie house off Picadilly Square. Its just
now reached America, and the critics seem entranced by it. I
returned for another look but left the theatre with pretty much
the same impression I had the first time. 28 Days Later is the
work of a dour imagination, bereft of humor. Its been
typed as a genre film, specifically, the latest incarnation
of the zombie flic. To be sure, there are a few scary moments,
but not many. And Director Danny Boyles take on humanity
leaves me cold.
The film opens with a team of animal liberationists breaking
into a London laboratory. They free an ape and all hell breaks
loose, in the form of a virus. As the movie lugubriously marches
its eye-gouging way to a conclusion, were not quite sure
who the real bad guys are the infected zombies or the
few surviving uninfecteds. The movie is so somber and humorless
that I hardly cared. Dont waste your money on this one.
Now for the good news: opening this weekend are a pair of wonderful
movies Respiro, an Italian film, and Capturing The Friedmans,
a feature length documentary.
Respiro is about community. However stultifying the small town
life can be, it is not without drama. Valeria Golino plays the
part of an eccentric mother of three children. Shes a
free spirit tethered by the traditions of her isolated, male
dominated, fishing village. When her impulses conflict with
the communitys expectations, something has to give. Leavened
with comic moments, Respiro, a tragedy-in-waiting, is a breath
of sea freshened air. Good writing, good direction and plenty
of fine acting makes Respiro a sure bet. Dont miss it.
Capturing The Friedmans is about a real life tragedy. Its
one of the oddest films Ive ever seen. Its an invisibly
intrusive look at the Friedman family, of Great Neck, Long Island.
It asks questions that cant be answered, which is the
point of the movie. What is truth? Who really did what, and
to whom, and why? We may not be much closer to the answers after
watching this film, but quite possibly well have a greater
appreciation for the complexity of life in contemporary America.
The Friedmans may not be embarrassed for themselves, but after
watching two hours of the intimate details of their lives, we
the viewers will have experienced embarrassment and much more.
This is a true story and its far stranger than most fiction.
Brace yourself and catch it. Capturing The Friedmans is very
bizarre and very powerful.
So then, my score card for this week reads thumbs up
for Charlies Angels, Respiro, and Capturing The Friedmans.
And one thumb down for 28 Days After.
For KUSPs Film Gang, this is Dennis Morton.

Richland Golf Center summons clubbers of all stripes with its sprawling, multifaceted swing-honing facility and a staff of ace instructors. Revolving around a central pond, the nine-hole executive course helps players master their approaches with seven par 3s and two par 4s that ensure drivers won't start questioning their self-worth. Clients can groom their game in pressure-free sessions at the 40 all-grass hitting stalls of the driving range, at the 2-acre short-game area, or by enrolling in one many golf lesson options.
The center also encompasses an 18-hole mini-golf course, which eschews gimmicky clowns and windmills in favor of a calming layout with misting fountains and obstacles such as water hazards, bunkers, and out-of-bounds areas. Clients can pair renovated swings with brand-new clubs in the pro shop, which peddles gear from brands such as TaylorMade, Srixon, Cleveland, or enlist the center's experts to regrip their current clubs or replace driver shafts snapped during sand-trap pole-vaulting competitions.
At Riviera Fitness Centers of Madison—a women-only fitness haven—patrons tackle Les Mills group fitness classes, strength and cardio equipment, and one-on-one personal training, all designed to make gals feel comfortable as they forge toward their fitness goals. The onsite childcare staff supervises tykes so moms can cartwheel off to classes such as BodyAttack and Zumba. During Zumba classes, the studio transforms into a club-like dance-party atmosphere, accented with colored lights and thumping Latin-inspired beats. The instructors lead the easy-to-follow dance steps on an elevated stage, allowing everyone to see the right moves instead of getting discouraged and reverting to the Hokey Pokey. Boot-camp sessions fuse cardio and resistance training to tone physiques as campers wield exercise equipment including kettlebells, barbells, and bosu balls.
In addition to getting fit during group training, ladies can seek one-on-one fitness advice during personal training sessions, which are tailored to suit their goals. Riviera Fitness Center also offers tanning, bronzing recently toned bodies for the beach or flexing in front of a mirror.
SportsMed Fitness Center, named one of Tennessee Valley's best gyms by CityVoters, operates 24 hours a day on the ground floor of SportsMed Huntsville Clinic. Members can tone muscles and burn calories with cardio and strength training equipment and group fitness classes such as kickboxing or hatha yoga, or opt for sessions with a personal trainer. New Core Barre classes are fat-burning exercises based on ballet techniques and are designed to increase strength and flexibility and give a lean, ballet-body look. A class schedule is available, and as an added convenience, the gym offers complimentary childcare during select weekday hours.
Owner George Wade wants Steve's Cue and Grill to be a place where regulars and newbies mingle, knock back a few, and clink pool balls on one of the bar's 14 pool tables. As another stripe drives into the corner pocket, bar tables populate with 1/3-pound burgers, chili-slathered hot dogs, and platefuls of nachos and crispy fried appetizers. Guests can savor a philly steak sub or a spicy buffalo-chicken sandwich on the enclosed outdoor patio, peruse the eatery's retail billiards supplies, or surf the free WiFi for variations on the spelling of Steve, such as Stefan, Stephen, and Earl.
H&H Home and Truck Accessory Centers decks out trucks with attractive parts for both maintenance and flair, while luxuriating homes in leisure-inducing add-ons. Brand-name truck products include sun subduing window visors (from $49.99) as well as bed mats for pick-ups (from $79.99). Make a modest auto out of an underdressed Chevy or Ford with a protective tonneau cover (from $299.99). A selection of truck toolboxes from brands like Weather Guard and United Welding Supply grants tool slingers extra space to stuff favorite construction components. Inside the home, games of billiards improve after guests replace fire pokers and bent-wire hangers with name-brand cue sticks and racks (from $19.99).
Voted Best Bowling Alley in the Valley by readers of the Valley Planet in 2010, Plamor Lanes houses gleaming floors for rented shoes to squeak over and polished lanes to send multicolored orbs sliding down. Feast on a cheese-laden pizza and quench powerful thirsts with two large drinks, which motivate arms to continue performing twisting trick shots and fuel mouths' attempts to convince rivals that the lowest score wins. Comfortable pairs of rented shoes are included with this package, which can be redeemed during open hours, Sunday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight or Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., except during league play from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Taken at an unidentified airport where seaplanes were abundant in 1957 or so. I believe the pretty blue and white plane is a Piaggio P-136-L1, dwarfed by a Brazilian Consolidated PBY. View full size.
My wife thinks I'm kidding her when I tell her that planes can remain in service so long. Here's a photo of perhaps the prettiest plane my dad ever owned, a Mooney, taken 1962. This plane is still in service, somewhere in Texas, and I bet it's still a beauty!
That does look like a Piaggio P136. Unfortunately, that N-number is no longer assigned to that aircraft, so I can't tell for sure. N220A is now a Beech 95 TravelAir.
At some point the N220A number must have been freed up - either that amphibian was removed from service for some reason, someone requested a new registration number, or it was re-registered in another country.
For what it's worth, there are only 14 P136's left in the FAA registry, so if that plane's still around, it's a real rarity.
Interestingly, Piaggio P136 serial number 220 (a 1959 model) is still around, currently registered in Ohio under the number N40029. Could that be the same airplane, perhaps?

Updated 11/18/2009: Added more VPN throughput test results.
|At a Glance
|SonicWall Internet Security Appliance (TZ100W)
|Relatively low cost multi-function UTM device
|• High UTM and VPN Throughput
• Flexible configuration options
• Dual WAN capability
• Stable
• SSL and IPsec VPN
|• No Gigabit ports
• Menus could be better organized
• SSL VPN installation can be challenging
The white plastic cover and simple design of the SonicWall TZ100W give the impression of just another wireless gateway router. But don't judge this book by its cover, since the TZ100W has a lot more than meets the eye!
The SonicWall TZ100W is a Unified Threat Management (UTM) device with the ability to securely manage complex networks and the horsepower to handle the traffic loads efficiently. In addition to wired and wireless network functionality, the TZ100W provides Anti-Spam, Content Filtering, Anti-Virus, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Anti-Spyware, SSL and IPSec VPN services along with a powerful firewall.
SonicWall's TZ line has been revamped for 2009, replacing previous models including the TZ180 and the SonicWall TZ190W I reviewed a few years ago. The newer TZs are designed to provide a significant upgrade in performance "maximize the highest speeds available from modern ISPs while delivering full UTM protection," according to the SonicWall spec sheet.
Under the Covers
The case on the TZ100W is a white plastic housing measuring 6.3" wide x 5.6" deep x 1.5" high with two large popsicle stick shaped wireless antennas in the back. The actual indicator lights are on the top front edge of the device as shown in Figure 2.
The TZ100W runs on a 64-bit 300Mhz CPU from Cavium Networks. Along with this processor, the TZ100W has 128 MBof RAM and 16 MB of flash memory. The board is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: TZ100W main board
There is an Atheros AR9160 chip visible on the Wi-Fi radio board. This is the BB/MAC for the AR9100 chipset. There are three antenna terminals on the board, which indicates that the radio chip is probably an AR9132 3X3. Note that only two antenna connects are used.
The CPU is passively cooled with the heat sink shown in the lower right of Figure 1. I noticed the heat sink gets pretty warm to the touch. There is a small cooling fan on the right side of the board that exhausts heat through ventilation holes on the top of the case.
Fan noise was never an issue with my test unit. SonicWall told me that the cooling fans in their TZ products are controlled by ambient temperature, thus they only run when the temperature reaches a certain threshold. With the case open (which would help the device run cooler) and the device turned on, I could see the fan wasn't even running.
In the back of the TZ100W (Figure 2) are the five 10/100 Ethernet ports, a pair of detachable antennas for the 802.11b/g/n radio, and the power connector. Also on the back is a serial console port for device management.
Figure 2: TZ100W rear view
I think the TZ100W should have Gigabit Ethernet ports. When I asked SonicWall about this, they replied that the more expensive models in the TZ line have Gigabit Ethernet ports. But to keep the cost down on the TZ100W, they equipped it with only 10/100 Ethernet ports. In my mind, SonicWall went half way on this one. They equipped the TZ100W with the latest 802.11n wireless network capability, why not the latest wired network capability?

Only reason I didn't give it a 5 rating on the performance was I wasn't all that impressed with the 11n speed or range but otherwise it's a pretty snappy router and doesn't need constant reboots from changing settings or p2p apps slamming it. Wish they had included a USB port for USB mobile broadband WAN support like in their upper models. Also, they're latest firmwares support any/all of the LAN ports being set as WAN ports for more than just two WAN connections.
There's definitely a learning curve with the interface and all the options and they're 1000+ Admin guide could actually be written more clearly and not just for the non-technical reader/user either. I've spent a year messing/tweaking getting familiar with the interface and I still don't have it mastered but I'm close and relatively happy with the product and it's latest firmwares.

For many, losing weight is a never-ending struggle -- especially since our bodies are designed to keep weight on at all costs; it's a matter of survival.

5 lbs ankle weights
from fort laudedale, florida
on 7/4/2014
This is just what the doctor ordered. I need to build up my strength in my legs in the pool and this is fit the bill. The right price, the right weight and easy on and off.
I use these almost daily

I swim in a chlorinated pool almost daily and the last pair of these ankle weights are still okay...just now getting worn out from the chemicals eating away the outer shell after over a year's use. I ordered a new pair so I would have them on hand when I need them. They intensify my water workout and I can highly recommend them for anyone who does not have joint problems. I am 65 years old, fyi If you do have joint issues like arthritis or osteoporosis, I would not use them dailly, but in moderation as they do stress the hips and knees a bit. Great product!!!

Sporti 5lbs Fitness Ankle Weights
from Denver CO
on 2/23/2013
Used in swimming pool to increase strength. Coating on weights does not allow weights to pick up water and weigh even move. Both weights are made exactly the same. That means that one of the sets of buckles are on the outside that can't easily be reached. If one set of straps wer put on the other way then both sets of buckles woud be on the inside. I have to turn one set of weight over to accomplish this.

Producers cope with drought reduced feed supplies
South Dakota
The month of February 2013 saw mixed temperatures with an average snow depth at the end of the month of 7.0 inches across the state, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, South Dakota Field Office.
As the winter season progresses, producers continue coping with drought reduced feed supplies and stock water supplies. Livestock were doing well in most areas of the state. County road conditions in the state were rated at 94 percent open, 5 percent difficult and 1 percent closed. Township road conditions were rated at 91 percent open, 7 percent difficult and 2 percent closed. Major activities last month included moving snow, caring for livestock, hauling grain and repairing equipment.
A more active weather pattern during February brought several more storm systems across the state including large events in from central to northeast South Dakota on Feb. 10 and 11 and south central to southeast part of the state on Feb. 21 and 22, according to the State Climate Office of South Dakota. Several smaller systems occurred across the state during other parts of the month. Current snow conditions are deepest in the northeast and largely non-existent in the west. The amount of snow and snow cover greatly impacted the temperature pattern leading to colder than average temperatures over most of the snow covered areas, while the non-snow-covered areas were warmer than average.
Precipitation was heaviest across eastern South Dakota with widespread amounts of 0.8 inches to over 2.0 inches in the far northeast. Most of the west received less than half an inch with the far northwest receiving less than 0.1 inches. Webster received the most precipitation for the month at 2.36 inches of liquid. Several other northeastern stations had over 1.5 inches. Of the northwest stations with low precipitation amounts, Bison was the lowest with 0.03 inches. The additional precipitation in the northeast did lead to a one category improvement in the U.S. Drought Monitor because of the larger liquid totals, which should produce some run-off. Most of the current snow will do little to change soil moisture conditions. Temperatures were heavily influenced by the snow cover. Colder average temperatures and coldest daily temperatures occurred over the northeast where monthly temperatures were 2 to 4 F below average. In the northwestern part of the state temperatures were 3 to 6 F above average. The highest daily temperature was 59 F at Pickstown. The coldest temperature was -31 F at Aberdeen. Soil temperatures were generally in the 20s to low 30s. Warmest temperatures were in the south and west. Parkston was the highest at 32 F; Aberdeen was the coldest at 21 F.
Concern continues with some producers about the lack of snow cover protection for the winter wheat. Winter wheat condition was rated at 20 percent very poor, 46 percent poor, 31 percent fair, and 3 percent good.
