Clio Cup championships
- fr
- en
Fans love to see cars racing side by side, which is just what they get with the Clio Cups. This season's finest drivers in the category got to grips with an entirely new car, a variant of the Clio R.S. 200 EDC.
Renault Sport Technologies is proud to announce that eight national Clio Cup series will be held in 2014 : France (the Renault Clio Cup Elf), the UK, Spain, Italy, Benelux (Belgium/Luxembourg/Netherlands), Sweden, China and Germany (the Clio Cup Endurance Speed Trophy), with a separate championship, the Bohemia Cup, also taking place in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. While the French series will be organised by Renault Sport, the remainder are all run by officially approved promoters.
Following the launch of the legendary Coupe R8 Gordini in 1966, Renault Sport has continued to maintain its presence on the racetracks of Europe and the rest of the world. Sold by the thousands since 1991, the four generations of the Clio Cup were recognised for their performance, reliability and accessibility.
Replacing the model in use since 2007, New Clio Cup has all the attributes of the Clio R.S. 200 EDC. The all new 1.6L directinjected turbo engine delivers 220bhp and a constant torque of 270Nm and is hooked up to a sequential gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts.

Prom Night with Allen Stoneon March 27, 2013 @ 4:35 pm (Updated: 7:24 pm - 3/27/13 )
Those last three things mentioned are just what is going to make 'Prom Night with Allen Stone: The Official Bumbershoot 2013 Music Lineup Announcement' the Best. Prom. Ever. The Crocodile is hosting the prom this May 2nd and 3rd with Allen Stone acting as the house band and on top of that the 2013 Bumbershoot line-up is to be announced as well.
When asked why a prom, Allen Stone has this to say: "In all honesty...an adult prom simply sounded fun. But the more the idea became a reality, the more I realized that this was a great excuse for my community to get together and celebrate with one another. This isn't your normal �Allen Stone' show... this is prom... and it's going to be silly. I want this to be an event for the ages!"
A prom king and queen will be announced each night and the lucky couple will win a 3-Day Platinum Pass to Bumbershoot. Holy hell, this is going to be awesome.
Go here for more info and to buy tickets when they go on sale this Friday, March 29th.

From the village of St. Leonhard down below, you can reach the summit of the Untersberg mountain at 1850 meters via a pleasant cable car ride. From this vantage point, you'll enjoy a lovely panorama of the Salzburg basin, the Berchtesgaden region and, on clear days, the lakes of this alpine region, including the Königssee lake in Bavaria.
You can also reach the top of the Untersberg via various marked hiking paths, such as the Dopplersteig, the Reitsteig, and by way of the ice caves. Especially beautiful are the paths along the Untersberg plateau. If you are not a seasoned hiker, the trails along the base of the Untersberg also offer relaxation and enjoyment. Our Information Office has hiking maps available for all routes.

The News Journal cuts staff by 28, eliminates two magazines
The News Journal Media Group is cutting 28 positions and eliminating two magazines.
Publisher Ellen Leifeld announced the changes at the Gannett newspaper in Wilmington on Monday.
Leifeld says the changes will help the company "better align" resources. She says the focus must be on "providing strong local news coverage - including serious investigative reporting - and effective solutions for our advertisers."
Spark, a weekly magazine, and Signature Brandywine, a magazine with 10 editions annually, will close, but some content will appear in the newspaper and online.
The newspaper claims an average daily circulation of more than 80,000 and average Sunday circulation of more than 107,000.

Don't let its pretty petals fool you—this sunflower is one tough blossom when it comes to scraping mud, dirt, snow and slush off your shoes and boots. There's nothing more effective than its stiff coir bristles for keeping outside muck from being tracked inside on your clean floors. Crafted of coir and resin. 11 1/4"Diameter.
Bright Idea
These are so sunny and cheerful - and useful! My husband is horrid about tracking in mud so I bought two and put one at each door. The tracked in dirt is much less now. And they're so pretty you don't look at them and think Tool. -

The presidential election next November looks more and more skewed in favor of the incumbent, Mr. Obama. The present front runner for the Republican party, Mitt Romney, is sliding (backwards) in the polls as the economic situation is improving.

Seldén Reversible Winch in operation
Kapten Boat Collar Trials showing this innovative new product in action
SailChute in action on Sydney Harbour
Riviera is preparing for the 2011 Sydney International Boat Show in July where the 53 and 61 Series II will make their Sydney debut.
The Belize Motor Yachts 52 was launched at this years Sanctuary Cove Boat Show
Riviera's flagship 70 Enclosed Flybridge will star at the 2011 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show
Selden Mast
Exhibitor Contender Sailcloth, who represents Selden Mast, is unveiling in Australia the Selden Reversible Winch in a national launch.
The ingenious feature of the new Selden winches is that the sailor can let the rope out by reversing the winch drum.
The purpose-made winch handle has a knob, which is pushed down with your thumb to prepare the winch for reverse drive. The winch handle is rotated clockwise and the rope is eased out. The rope remains in the self-tailing jaws all the time, which means it is a one-hand operation to trim the sheet, the halyard or the windward guy.
For the family cruising sailor, one-handed operation means safety – no hands are even close to the drum when easing out the rope.
In rough conditions, you can hold on with your free hand. Single-handed sailors can steer and trim at the same time.
The unit was awarded overall winner of the coveted DAME Award 2010, which recognises innovation at the Netherlands' METS trade show. The reversible winch also won the Pittman Innovation Award 2011 in the US.

The Station Fire hearings
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

The Pasadena session is set for 9 a.m. Oct. 12 at the U.S. Court of Appeals building, 125 S. Grand Ave. But Larry takes listener questions now in a conversation with Schiff.

Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2014
George III (1738-1820)
George III is depicted wearing military uniform, although the coat, which should be a richer scarlet, has faded to a pale pink. The King is shown almost full face, which allows the artist to convey more of George's character and also to demonstrate his own technical skills in his modelling of the face and depiction of the wig.
Jeremiah Meyer (1735-89) was born in Germany and his father was portrait painter to the Duke of Württemberg. He came to England about 1749 and studied under the artist Christian Friedrich Zincke. Meyer was commissioned to paint the King's miniature portrait, set in an oval of diamonds in the pearl bracelet given to Princess Charlotte as an engagement present. He also drew the King's profile for the new coinage which earned him a gold medal from the Society of Arts in 1761. He was appointed Miniature Painter to the Queen and Enamel Painter to the King in 1764. A founder member of the Royal Academy, he exhibited miniatures, enamels and watercolour drawings from 1769 to 1783. When he died, according to a contemporary, Charlotte Papendiek, Meyer's widow sent his remaining miniatures, including portraits of the royal family, to the sitters without making a charge. The Queen was so pleased that 'she liberally rewarded Mrs Meyer for her honourable conduct'.
Catalogue entry adapted from Masterpieces in Little: Portrait Miniatures from the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen (1992) and George III and Queen Charlotte: Patronage, Collecting and Court Taste (2004).

...I haz n0 subj3ct
04:43am 30/03/2011
I wanna say something... but i dont know what to say..
well i do know this... hayley needs to not be disapered and get in contact with me.... it's been far to many years... and all this old music i downloaded... is actually pretty good. it's a damn shame more people dont have this stuff up for download on torrents in huge packs. I dig the old music formats.
I miss hayleys thonged butt. hmm oh well if we get in contact again i'll hopefully be able to get a friendship going again like we once had. hopefully she's still fairly the same in personality. 5-6yrs changes a person alot sometimes. God knows i've changed in the last 5-6yrs quite drastically. tho sadly most of the people from my past wouldnt care to find out bout the new me. hah being a douchebag totally backfires on people ya know? dont be one. it never works out longterm in life
09:01am 05/12/2010
Am I the only one attracted to Israeli women? I wouldnt think so but something bout them is attractive. Ah well just a passing thought I suppose. I have those alot.
In a week i'll probably forget this hence why I am writing it here.
Ha imagine if the net is around in 400yrs still. And further more this site is somehow still up and running or archived completely. Some fool will come across this silly blog and read this and all my other posts and think man people in that time were wierd. haha amusing to me
No photo's of my vinyls BUT....
04:39am 07/11/2010
I've been really lazy about doing anything last few days. I pretty much spend all my time watching movies or old clips or shows... and i'm also listening to music in there at the same time.. and if i'm not doing those 2... i will be reading up on things in my many researches of the past.
I did score a few things tho....
I pick'd up The Masked Marvel 12 episode serial.. from 1943 I think it was., Score'd that for vhs along with about 10? 12? other vhs tapes and a few cassette tapes.
My vinyl growth has slow'd to a complete crawl lately... I build up about 4 milkcrates worth of vinyls in about 4months. So as much as I want to buy vinyls... I'm focusing more on cassette tapes and vhs tapes right now. Least for a bit..
Also in there ive started buying up old walkmans and other sources of audio if I can find them for cheap enough.. Score'd a pretty decent walkman for 1$.. Emerson brand. not sure when it's from. but it's pretty sweet looking.
Still buying up glasses in there and other dishware and other trinkets.... i'm mostly saving my money for this month tho... wont be buying as much as I wanted but that's ok to me... next month I take the combined amounts and ...well the plan is save as much as possible again... we'll see how it goes. hopefully I save up a few months worth of cash for my retro shopping plans..
The reason I find it so easy to score so much music/movies is because of 2 key thrift stores in my town.
One sells vinyls for .29 each.. and cassette tapes for .49 cheapest in town at all the thrifts..
The other sells vhs tapes for .50 each and dvds for $1. Makes it insanely easy to score a bunch of movies&tunes on the cheap. Works great for me...
For people that want better examples..
.29 vinyls
.49 cassette tapes
let's grab 10 vinyls.. $2.90
and 10 c.tapes $4.90
include tax .48 I think..I always get this wrong
For a total of $8.28
Not bad for a total of 20 albums.
Obviously mix and match what you want for better or worse prices.

Zen Mechanics - Industry of Love
.....nothing really exciting to this post..... the title is kinda misleading... just a thought I had...how I read a girls profile then try to say hi and most of the time get no replys back.
isnt that life really? a whole series of trys and fails....then the occasional sucess and whatnot..... really life is kinda like trying to talk to a chick.... it's mostly setbacks fails and rejections... but once you hit that stride and get a string of great luck with girls going.... or with life...... it all flows together
wierd thought I know but it kinda makes sense to me..
aint no life is like a box of chocolates but i do think life can really be like the process of talking to females.
now if only females werent so caught up in looks and money and all that and just wanted a guy for who he was... not how ripped he could be or how much money he shits out daily..
ahh well i just go with the flow of life these days
speaking of girls.... melissa was a bust...... she basically told me for about a week that oh hey i like you oh hey imma come over and we'll date.... then it changed to idk...then it became im with someone else to im with my ex adam even tho he's in jail. >_< thing is i caught her in a few lies i wont share here..... her loss. she could have had a very interesting relationship with me that wasnt like alot of her ex's... IE gdawg gansta yo! heh i do chuckle tho cuz every guy she dates from this point out that doesnt work out is just another thing i can chuckle at and go well if it WAS me you dated you wouldnt have had that problem. cuz im a cynic like that towards girls that lie and lead men on
My tastes are varired... much like my musical tastes lately
03:39am 15/08/2010
Man I feel so completely different about life then I did 6months ago..
I smoke alot of weed and during those times I really solve alot of life's mysterys and inner workings of my mind... basically I work thru shit bugging me and am content with the outcomes.
So during alot of my high times I really expanded my mind in ways....
I now take an interest in learning and music and movies.... especially music. I have expanded my musical tastes by so much in life.. some of this stuff i have or listen to i wouldnt have had around 6months ago... and I like this change
well enough gushing with happy ... off to finish my research into music and sub-genres...
new window screens
01:51am 26/06/2010
... you know.. i'm not gonna lie. these new window screens kick ass. I love having my windows open at night without the asshole bugs getting in.
keeps it nice and cool in here.
that is all
hmm... seems alot has changed for me and yet nothing has
12:45pm 11/06/2010
I dont even know where to start.... it seems life is always some wierd form of chaos with me and my life.... but at the same time Ive begun to understand the chaos and work with it instead of against it. I noticed a slight change in how my life goes once this happened...
I am seriously cursed in love
05:05am 19/04/2010
It seems no matter what i say/do with females im instantly put into friends list or banhammer'd. it's amazing. and im not even talking bout 9s/10s .... this is shit coming from 2s/3s. seriously i got me some less then attractive females telling me im not good looking enough.
i knew my gut was bad but i didnt think it was so bad unattractive females are turning me down.
trust me i was purposely looking for some very unattractive females and sure enough. rejected. man im putting serious thoughts into losing my gut by any means now....cuz i know my face aint fugly. gotta be the gut man...gotta be.
i am ego crush'd and perplex'd by this series of events.
i beleive im truely cursed in love for something

04:03am 11/03/2010
idk..... I have a bunch of thoughts but it's nothing i should post. i'd be accused of being a racist *eyeroll* cuz having an opinion that isnt anything bout blacks being great is clearly racist in this day and age.
and personally im sick of how society tries to tell me since i'm white i should be ashamed of myself. well fuck society I have pride in my white heritage. and I refuse to be ashamed of that for some crap that happened 120yrs before my birth. and to all the blacks going on bout racism and how they was opressed and reperations. i dont' hear the jews and indians bitching...
ugh i get so tired of things sometimes.....where's my WET ....white entertainment television...or my white history month. oh wait those would be racist. but damn you better not have a problem with BET or black history month...cuz otherwise your a racist for thinking anything else. *eyeroll*
fuck all this shit... blacks have got to be some of the most racist people iv'e ever had to deal with in my life.....yet it's only whites that can be racist..and people wonder why I show no interest in society
myspace musical updates
12:35pm 22/01/2010
So I finally am getting around to updating my myspace music. dont get me wrong I do enjoy listening to icp/twiztid. They get it ...least what i enterpret their music as. alot of it comes down to stop being bigots and assholes and just be cool to eachother. thats the bottom line of their music. most dont get it or hear it tho. they just think of a bunch of "Faggot clowns rapping" *shrugs* to each their own right? EXACTLY!
Anyways I finally got around to putting a new playlist together.
now what could a guy like me possibly put up as his playlist?
what could he listen to?
Well.... some of my fav music from 2 of my fav era's of music. the 70's and 80's. *GASP SHOCK AWE*
Bands like:
Blood Sweat & Tears
Rolling Stones
Alice Cooper
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin *Stairway To Heaven is one of the greatest songs EVER in my humble opinion*
Deep Purple *my band of choice*
*nods* Good bands great music

another update in the land of battle hobos
10:55am 21/01/2010
everyones' mad at me right now because all I do is sit in my apt and not give a shit about going out and about to hang with anyone. except they only have half the story.
yes I don't care to go out and socialize right now. i'm really enjoying my alone time... I find the human mind accomplishes alot more for me this way. I also take more stabs at cleaning my apt and misc projects when I keep to myself. If im always socializiing I never accomplish shit. funny eh?
either way the part everyone is missing is I have NO money. well some change scrounged up and whatnot but for the most I have no cash to throw around..... on top of this I also have no gas. I can't go anywhere. and it'd seem most of my friends dont have cars or their cars dont run or they have no licence and guess what that means. yeah i have to go see everyone. no gas means I dont do shit...
but they dont seem to factor that in or when I tell them still get all butthurt. *shrugs* I can't win with people. so I stopped trying. I just pretty much sit here .. play my games watch my movies and listen to my music. and if someone's butthurt by it.. tough shit. I like my friends but they gotta accept that I have things I wanna do.
these old friends of mine... tony and dennis. they used to get butthurt cuz I didnt wanna go out and do shit and spend money I didnt have. I'm happy sitting in nightly watching movies and chilling. they wanted to be out and about and have the night life. which is not for me. not anymore really. My idea of night life is far far FAR different then most people.
just goes to show you can't please everyone all the time. so i work on pleasing myself most of the time. mauahahah
a selfish sounding post but im not getting younger. I dont have time to deal with others bullshit and crap... so I tend to take a me first stance. and *GASP* I wont feel guilty for it. something tony and dennis tried to push on me. i definetly do not miss those assholes

so with my ps2 stuck in not really working land... i'm down to a few consoles right now..
my modded psx
My modded xbox
my dreamcast
I really am hesitant to use my modded psx because it's really old. it could quit working at any point.
I also am hesitant to hook up my modded xbox because....well to be honest. it's got NOTHING on it. I can't ftp into it anymore since my wireless setup is broken. So the hd on my xbox sits empty and useless.... I can play burn'd games on it ..thats good.
That leaves my dreamcast. I do love my system. tons of great stuff on it and whatnot. I'll probably hook that up sometime in the next few days.
i've mostly been playing around on my pc. downloading apps you can run off a flashdrive and games from the 80's/90's I play thru dosbox *program for running older games* it's not the most exciting pc existance I have currently but it's passable for now.
i'm anxious to purchase a new pc rig with my income taxes. but we'll see how it goes and what I can afford.

Always nice to find out I have 38$ thats been sitting in my drawer for 3-4yrs.
let me explain...
in 2005 i got a gift card for the holidays to best buy. for reasons unknown to me I didn't use it. it had 20$ on it.
Also in 2006 for the holidays I got another gift card. I beleive this was either 25 or 30$. it has $18.82 on it.
they got put in the drawer and have sat all these years unused. dont ask me how they just have.
Well I pulled them out today when i spotted them when i was looking thru the drawer. Logged onto best buy and check'd their balance. imagine my surprise when I found out I had $38.82 on them total. not too bad if you ask me.
I might pick up something off bestbuy.com today with them. not sure tho. maybe 2 pendrives or something. no effin clue. but it's defiently nice having the options :)
well that was nice
01:12pm 12/01/2010
my mom just called me a few mins ago and she couldnt get her email to work. *not sure exactly what happened but yahoo isnt exactly easy to use* so i ended up making her a brand new email account with login and settings *i'm fairly computer based so it was quick and easy* and got that up and running.
she seem'd pretty greatful so that's cool. and I felt useful. bonus! ^_^
tho it definetly cut my snooze time short. ah well. it felt good to help her out. especially with tech stuff which is my stronger area in life
Sure enough
04:07pm 06/01/2010
Ol reliable is hook'd up right now. I actually unhook'd my hd from it and hook'd up a spare one my friend gave me. turns out it has windows xp already on it and some photo's/videos from some lady and her kid.
I ask'd him about that and he had no clue. found the hd in somebody's trash LOL guess they didnt know the hd still work'd just fine. I'm on it right now even. Installing steam/champions online *gaming stuff* and updates and various fixes ... then once again i'll switch back over to my ol reliable hd that originally came with this pc. but today imma spend a bunch of time tweaking and fixing this install of windows xp up.
I don't really have any big plans for this pc. I plan on having it as my backup in case the other hd crashes on me. Not to shabby of a plan if you ask me. now that i got the internet running on this and i can update everything it'll be good to go once I need it. tho there's a part of me right now going use this one instead. sure it's only got 25gigs of free space on it *40gig hd* but i could definetly use it and keep the installs to a min. either way I have 2 hd's on here and my laptop will be fix'd and back in about 1.5months.
OH! I get my income taxes within the next 60 days. which means NEW GAMING RIG! woopwoop! *does the happy dance* This badboy is gonna rock. it's gonna have at least 6gigs of ram and hopefully at least a 1gig vid card. hopefully also a hd of at least 500gigs. ^_^ I seriously can't wait. I'll finally be able to run alot of newer games at maximum resolution. hot damn indeed
also... I need more females around. especially of the dont mind im short fat and not so good looking type. the females in this town are a waste tho.... they only seem to be interested in a guy if he's black/rich/drives nice car/asshole/in a band/abusive/controlling/wigger or any combo of those listed. i'm not the only person who's noticed this too. it's not uncommon for me or my friends *even some of the better looking ones* to be told oh sorry your not black. oh sorry your not rich oh sorry thats a shit car.... and I really try to keep my "racism" down to a minimum but if someone tells me sorry not interested your not black... it just makes me kinda have a brain twitch.. *eye roll at people in general*
well back to running updates and fixes on this hd. ^_^
Grr....laptop hd goes poo and my own fault for it
11:48pm 31/12/2009
I got stupid and tried to fix a few issues with my laptop....the hd went poo and i cant even install windows again cuz my dvd drive also is crapped out. ARGH!... luckily I have ol reliable still and hooked it back up *knocks on wood* i swear this pc is gonna outlast me at this rate haha.
I need to build!
07:06am 30/12/2009
So I decided I need to build and craft things... so i've taken it on myself to download sims2 + all expansion packs. plus i have this odd urge to make a house the size of my bathroom *decent size...could fit a small cot in there along with the toliet/sink/shower* so im downloading them to see how it plays itself out with a virtual sim. obviously i have planned ahead tho and he will be having a kickass outdoo patio to go with his house. i'll add on as I go .. he must have a hottub and a dj booth also. LOL
AND he'll fix cars.

earlier was wierd. cassie sorta vaguely implied she wanted to spend some time with me in her underwear. I think i'll assume she ment clothed and just regular friends even tho i bluntly said cassie in undies time. odd odd odd.
so my pc got raped by a bunch of virus and malware earlier. It's still not 100% cleaned out. there's this shithole new virus/malware thats raping a bunch of people. it redirects you to some stupid ass survey site. bastard thing.
Hopefully i can clean it up a bit soon.
nothing to exciting really. downloaded a bunch of games and i'm slowly trying them. I wanna spend hours more on dynasty warriors gundam 2 but at the same time i just wanna role my eyes at it and go no more 3 days straight is enough.
god knows I have tons o games to play thru/with. I think i wanna install star trek bridge commander. seems pretty badass that you can mod it. on top of it I have a few star wars games i can play with.
I seriously want a russian / australian gal. one or the other.

Welcome to Goal Planning Monday!
If you are new here be sure to check out the guidelines before you join in. We would love to have you! If you are returning, I hope you had a good week. Thank you for stopping in and sharing with us. Be sure to keep sharing with your friends as we all could use some accountability from time to time! I hope to see some new members this week. Keep spreading the word as we could all use some encouragement and support as we go about achieving our goals. If you have a moment get sure to hop over and see what others are doing.
I know that it sucks that I've changed locations for this meme/bloghop again. I hope that you will all find me here. If you would be so kind as to point out in your post that Goal Planning Monday is back at it's original home that would be very much appreciated. Thank so much for sticking with me and I hope that you have a wonderful, productive week.
Last week's goals:
1. Unpack half of that is left to unpack. DONE! There's very little left to unpack now. I'm not quite as organized as I thought I was going to be in this house, though.
2. Limit my time on facebook a little. Partially done. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped because I was a little low on energy and under the weater this week so had more time when I was just sitting around without much to do.
3. Contemplate moving my blog back to self hosted. DONE! I actually did that immediately after posting GPM last week so some of you might not know where to find me today!
4. Try to keep up with my "house a little bit cleaner in the evening than it was in the morning" plan. DONE! It took me until Wednesday to get back caught up to where the house was before the weekend where I let things slide. In the end, my house isn't a whole lot cleaner now than it was this time last week.
5. Do something special for the kids for Valentine's Day. DONE! I wrote about it here.
6. Comment on everyone's post who joins up this week. Not Done. I think I started to and then got distracted.
This week's goals:
1. Promote Goal Planning Monday being back at it's old home so people can find it.
2. Visit everyone who linked up last week so that they know to come here from now on.
3. Work on my widgets for the blog. Some of the information on the blog is still the stardard stuff that was on the style sheet and not my own information.
4. Work on an upcoming review. It feels really good to be getting back into it.
5. Write a blog post about computer programming that has been floating around in my head. I've been talking about it on facebook a bit.
6. Do some deep cleaning in the house. There are areas that needed a good scrubbing that I didn't get to because I was busy just getting us set up.
7. Drink water. I've been doing a really bad job with that.
8. Be more patient with the kids. I've been yelling too much. Part of that is hormonal and I've done things to balance that back out as I'm sick of being emotional. Part of it is habit. Opps. I'm not going to get the results I'm looking for through yelling, no matter how frustrating "blah, blah, blahing" out the same information is. There are days when I think I should just put them on the bus so they can not listen to someone else for a while just to give me a break. I'm sure I'm not the only who's been there!
9. Work on a grocery list for the next month. Mike is probably coming a week earlier than planned to see us as he is expecting a rush of calls after a new ad he put out. I don't know if he is leaving the van this time or not and if not, he will probably be gone for the long haul and I will need to be prepared. I need to have more healthy snacking foods as I tend to eat small meals and the kids have NOT been good at leaving me leftovers. I'm shocked at home much Liam can eat now so I need to take that into account more when cooking and preparing. We have more than enough meats (because the kids will happily eat beans/legumes here that they wouldn't normally touch). I have a much better idea of what we eat and need so I can prepare well whether or not we keep the van.
That's about it for the week. I hope that you will drop in and let us know what your goals for the week are as we could all use a little accountability.

Take Two for September 18, 2013
Some realtors producing 'home movies' to market luxury homes
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Real estate agent Katie Hayes (R) answers questions about a home for sale during an open house on May 28, 2013 in San Francisco, California.
The housing market here in Los Angeles continues to recover in a way no one really could've expected. The bidding wars are back, there are long lines at open houses and people making offers on the spot.
In California as a whole, the median home price was up nearly 30 percent in August from the same time last year. If you're selling, you may not need the services of Film House.
They're an outfit in Nashville, Tennessee, that makes movies for home-sellers about their homes. Curt Hahn , founder, director, and CEO of Film House, joins the show with more.

and so it continues
Today, I played around with adding more protein, in the form of cottage cheese + soy milk. Thanks for all of your suggestions on what works to fill you up. I hope to try a few of them this week!
I keep my soy intake fairly low [~3 servings of whole soy per week]. This soymilk is gluten free, organic, and non-GMO. You can read more about it here. A 1c serving has: 120cals – 6g fat – 12g protein. That is more protein than any other milk [dairy, nut or seed] than I've ever seen. The only ingredients are: organic soybeans + reverse osmosis purified water - Thanks to Angela, for finding this protein packed milk!
As a warning, their packages are all very similar, and this is their only soymilk that is GF. They do have a soy/rice milk that is GF as well.
Does anyone else have this dairy company in their stores? It's only carried at Natural Grocers here. The company is based out of Iowa, and they offer organic, grass-fed [!!!!], dairy. I'm in love with this cottage cheese. It is extremely thick and creamy, with a nice tang. I wish they sold their yogurt. I bet it's fantastic!
I go through waves of eating cottage cheese. I will eat it everyday and then go on a hiatus for months. Not sure why! Right now I'm loving it for it's quick supply of protein + fat. It's my go-to snack. The other day I combined it with ground flax + jelly, which was surprisingly delicious!
Adding 1/3c of this to my oats, adds about: 70 cals – 1.5g fat – 9g protein
I've tried adding cottage cheese to my oats, twice now, and am still on the fence. Time for round 3!
The other day, Kath + I chatted about breakfast. We talked about oat mix ins, what keeps us full the longest, the difference between oats + buckwheat bakes, etc. Total foodie nerd fest. She was surprised that I don't like cottage cheese oats and said it reminds her of a cheese danish.
As soon as she said that, I got an idea.
Apple cheese oatmeal danish anyone?
I cooked up the cheesy danish oats with my new bamboo spoon. Thanks dad!! I actually like the spoon more than using a whisk!
I browned the apple in a pan, with coconut oil, banana, cinnamon + a sprinkle of sucanat. I'm not a fan of warm, soft apples, so I made sure to get these nice and crispy.
Then I stuffed the mixture into the middle of the oats, sprinkled with sucanat, and broiled for a few minutes.
And I now like cottage cheese in my oats!
I used a mixture of oats + oat bran, which is one of my favorite textures.
I topped the bowl with walnuts and coconut almond butter.
My appetite might have been a bit more ferocious than typical because of Sunday's hard work. I was really expecting this to do the trick, but I was hungry about 2hrs later. Such a mystery!!
At least I have a new stellar recipe to share!
Apple Banana Cheesy Danish Oats
- 4T rolled oats
- 3T oat bran
- 3/4c high protein soymilk
- 3/4c water
- 1/2T coconut oil
- 1t sucanat
- 1t cinnamon
- 1/2 medium apple, chopped
- 1/2 banana, chopped
- 1/3c 2% cottage cheese
- Combine oats + oat bran in a pot with the liquid, over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce heat to simmer for about 6-8min. Stir occasionally.
- While that is coming to a boil, heat coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add chopped apple, banana, cinnamon + sucanat to the pan.
- Cook, stirring as needed, until golden brown.
- Set your oven to broil.
- When the oats are to the consistency you like, add in the cottage cheese for 1min.
- Pour into an oven safe dish, and stuff the apple mixture into the center.
- Dust with 1/2t sucanat and broil for a few minutes, until golden brown on top.
This was loaded with protein + fat. Somewhere around 25-28g of each! My stomach was hungry 2.5hrs later, but I think it's a trick hunger. It's the only time of day, that I can drink a cup of tea or glass of water, and then my hunger goes away. So maybe it did hold me over?
Oh crazy stomach. Can't you just tell me what you want!?
Since avoiding gluten, I've obviously been eating less carbs. Maybe I need to up the oats/carbs + tune down the fat a bit. Hmmmm…
I'm going to test out different oat concoctions all week, to see if I can find an answer. Stay tuned!

Weekly Roundup: Hunger for change, Wangari Maathai's legacy, and renewable energy abroad
Every week, we report on the conversations surrounding the big issues in the world of social entrepreneurship and change.
Debates on Food Take Center Stage in the U.S.
Americans appear to be hungry for change, literally, as in– change in what they are eating. And agro-corporations have noticed.
The New York Times reported that the newly-formed U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, made up of the largest agricultural groups in the country, has launched Food Dialogues, a series of panel discussions about agriculture in the United States. Look for updates and thoughts on Twitter at #foodd ("d" for "debate"!). "When did agriculture become a dirty word?" asks the Food Debates website. The campaign is framing itself as a way for farmers to talk back to BigAg, but, as Times writer Julia Moskin points out, some of the biggest agricultural corporations and marketing campaigns are behind the debates, including the American Egg Board, the National Pork Board, Monsanto, and DuPont. Responses from food activists have voiced skepticism toward the campaign, and organic food producers like Earthbound Farms have declined to participate. Thought-leader and food journalist Michael Pollan called Food Dialogues "BigAg's new PR push" on Twitter.
On the flip side of the food coin, there was some buzz about the locavore movement this week. In Upstate New York, where farmers' crops were devastated by Hurricane Irene and post-storm flooding, farmers are bouncing back, slowly. The Times reported on some of the innovative ways farmers are raising money: hosting fundraisers, selling T-shirts, and benefiting from the loyal support of Community Supported Agriculture programs. Times columnist Mark Bittman wrote about the potential of the Slow Food movement to raise awareness and provide low-cost ways to have tasty, fresh, home-cooked meals. And the Village Voice pointed out that healthy-food writers like Bittman and Pollan are having an impact on wider audiences, as shown by recent polls that reveal Americans' dissatisfaction with the current food system. 78 percent of Americans polled by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation said that making nutritious and healthy foods more affordable should be a top priority in the next farm bill.
Looking at food news globally, specifically in Africa, the Global Impact Investing Network announced this week that a capital investment of $25 million will go into the small-to-medium-scale agricultural sector in sub-Saharan Africa. The fund was established collaboratively by the USAID, J.P. Morgan, Gates, Gatsby, and Rockefeller Foundations – all members of GIIN's Investors' Council. The African Agricultural Capital Fund (AACF), as the venture is called, is meant to boost agricultural prevention in sub-Saharan Africa so as to prevent situations like the ongoing drought-induced famine in Somalia. The fund will be managed by Pearl Capital Partners (PCP), a specialist African agricultural investment fund manager based in Kampala, Uganda. Over the next five years, PCP aims to invest the fund's $25 million in at least twenty agriculture-related businesses in East Africa.
Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Winner Wangari Maathai Leaves a Strong Legacy of Activism
Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmental activist and winner of the first Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to an African woman, in 2004, passed away on September 25 at seventy-one years of age, due to cancer. The Guardian's John Vidal wrote a thoughtful obituary outlining her upbringing and life's accomplishments. The Green Belt movement that Maathai spearheaded in the late 1970s became a mechanism for pushing Kenya toward democracy and battling corruption. This work led her to found the Kenyan Green Party in the 1990s, and Maathai became a junior environmental minister in the government of President Mwai Kibaki. Throughout her life, tree-planting and protecting Kenya's natural resources and parks were the platforms from which she voiced pro-democracy and women's empowerment messages.
Maathai's ability to link human rights to ecological issues stands out in sub-Saharan Africa, where many countries are struggling to move forward in the global market economy, and few are making a prominent effort to do so sustainably.
This week Zimbabwe's dictator Robert Mugabe caused quite a stir when he announced a new "indigenization law" that would require foreign companies to have fifty-one percent of their shares owned by black Zimbabweans. Mining company Zimplats, along with British American Tobacco, Nestle, Cargill, Barclays, and Standard Chartered Bank have all been given fourteen days to comply with Mugabe's order.
It seems that foreign business is also being received antagonistically in Zambia. Journalist Howard French, who has written extensively about Africa, wrote in the Atlantic about controversy surrounding China's ongoing expansion, through business and migration, into Africa: "Chinese have migrated to Zambia by the thousands, setting themselves up in mining, farming, commerce and small industry." Chinese contractors in Zambia are building highways, dams, and other large infrastructure projects for the copper mining industry. A presidential election in Zambia last week was, French wrote, indicative of how many Zambians view the Chinese presence questionably. While campaigning for the presidency, the newly-elected leader Michael Sata proclaimed the Chinese in Zambia "profiteers" and generally fomented anti-Chinese sentiments.
Energy In the News Following Solyndra Scandal
Post-Solyndra, energy investment has been at the forefront of a loud media debate. And beyond North American borders, investment in renewable energy was also all over the news this week, with stories highlighting its rise and sketching out some of its problems.
The Guardian reported that renewable energy production has reached an all-time high in the UK, where a combination of wind turbines and hydroelectricity makes up 9.6 percent of the country's usage.
Goldman Sachs is investing $200 million in an Indian renewable energy company called ReNew Wind, reports the Financial Times. The Mumbai-based ReNew plans to have 1,000 megawatts of wind-generation capacity by 2015, according to Bloomberg. Goldman will have representatives on the ReNew Wind board and the company may begin trading publicly in the future, Bloomberg reported.
Energy bills are no joke in the UK, as both Damian Carrington and Leo Hickman pointed out this week in the Guardian, and many within the debate see renewable energy as a way to lower those costs for the country as a whole. But some doubt has arisen around renewable energy subsidies in the UK, which are reportedly long overdue for a review. Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC) reforms are reviews of subsidies that apprise investors of how much support the government will provide to the renewables industry. The UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is working to implement the twelve-week review this fall and hopes that investors won't lose interest or put their money elsewhere in the meantime.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Fight:
Since Joshua Clottey has a remarkable chin, Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao is more likely to attack the Ghanaian's body.
According to his coach Freddie Roach, Pacquiao will test Clottey's body like no other fighter has done before.
He's (Clottey) got a good chin and so forth but nobody has tested his body as much as we will, Roach said in an interview with FightFan.com. People with good chins don't always take it into the body.
Although Clottey was knocked down by Miguel Cotto in 2009, the durable Ghanaian has never been knocked out in a fight before.
However, Roach said that this might change when the power-punching Pacquiao assaults Clottey in the body.
He's punching really [expletive] hard, the trainer said of Pacquiao. I mean I wear that body suit, it doesn't help that much. He kills me. He's punching really, really well.
Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Clottey on March 13 in the match called The Event. The bout is slated to take place at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas , Texas .
Secret to good conditioning
Pacquiao, earlier, said that his training is going really well because of his conditioning.
Maganda kasi na nakuha ko agad ang kundisyon ko kasi hindi ako masyadong matagal nagpahinga, Pacquiao told ABS-CBN Sports commentators Ronnie Nathanielsz and Dyan Castillejo during the live telecast of Pinoy Power 3/Latin Fury 13 on Sunday.
Last fight ko November so January, nakapag-training agad ako. Nandoon agad ang kundisyon ko, he added.
In addition to that, Roach said Pacquiao regularly played basketball during his downtime after the Cotto fight.
He plays basketball everyday
it's like his favorite sport. He runs and runs the court and he came in to the New York press conference [for the Clottey fight] at 148 pounds, said Roach.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Opposition re: 269 MOTION for Reconsideration re; 262 Order on Motion in Limine,,,,, Apple Inc.'s Notice of Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's Rulings Excluding Portions of Dr. Murphy's and Dr. Burtis's Expert Testimony. MOTION for Reconsideration re; 262 Order on Motion in Limine,,,,, Apple Inc.'s Notice of Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's Rulings Excluding Portions of Dr. Murphy's and Dr. Burtis's Expert Testimony.. Document filed by Unites States of America. (Fairchild, Stephen)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK __________________________________________ ) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) APPLE, INC., et al., ) ) Defendants. ) __________________________________________) Civil Action No. 12-cv-2826 (DLC) __________________________________________ ) THE STATE OF TEXAS; ) THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT; et al., ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v. ) ) PENGUIN GROUP (USA) INC. et al., ) ) Defendants. ) __________________________________________) Civil Action No. 12-cv-03394 (DLC) PLAINTIFFS' OPPOSITION TO APPLE'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THE COURT'S RULINGS EXCLUDING PORTIONS OF DR. MURPHY'S AND DR. BURTIS'S EXPERT TESTIMONY "[A] motion to reconsider should not be granted where the moving party seeks solely to relitigate an issue already decided." Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995). That is precisely what Apple is attempting to do here with respect to the Court's rulings on Plaintiffs' motions in limine to exclude portions of the testimony of Dr. Murphy and Dr. Burtis. 1 With respect to Dr. Murphy, Apple does nothing more than offer more of the same arguments concerning its interpretation of Monsanto Co. v. Spray-Rite Service Corp., 465 U.S. 752 (1984), that it has offered in great detail in multiple prior filings. Apple continues to assert, wrongly in Plaintiffs' view, that it may avoid antitrust liability in this case by asserting that its conduct was "driven by its independent business interests." Mot. at 3. As in its earlier arguments, Apple fails to come to grips with United States v. General Motors Corp., 384 U.S. 127, 144-45 (1966), or with recent Second Circuit authority holding that, where there is direct evidence of a conspiracy, the requirement that a plaintiff must "tend to exclude" independent action "do[es] not apply at all." In re Publ'n Paper Antitrust Litig., 690 F.3d 51, 63 (2d Cir. 2012). Apple and Dr. Murphy's proposed test for whether a defendant participated in a conspiracy—whether the conspiracy served its unilateral self interest—misapplies the relevant legal standard, is contrary to common sense, and would have exonerated defendants in analogous cases such as Toys "R" Us, Inc. v. FTC, 221 F.3d 928 (7th Cir. 2000), and Interstate Circuit, Inc. v. United States, 306 U.S. 208 (1939). As to Dr. Burtis's opinions, Apple does not even pretend to offer new controlling authority or overlooked evidence. It relies entirely on new articulations of prior arguments. Apple thus fails to meet the "exacting standard" applicable to motions for reconsideration and its 1 Apple does not take issue with the portions of the Court's ruling excluding portions of Dr. Murphy's testimony for usurping the proper role of the factfinder. May 23, 2013 Tr. at 35:7-24. 1 motion should be denied. See Callistro v. N.Y.C. Parks Dep't, No. 11 Civ. 2897 (DLC), 2013 WL 655083, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2013). APPLE FAILS TO MEET THE STRICT STANDARD FOR MOTIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION "Generally, motions for reconsideration are not granted unless the moving party can point to controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked—matters, in other words, that might reasonably be expected to alter the conclusion reached by the court." In re BDC 56 LLC, 330 F.3d 111, 123 (2d Cir. 2003) (citation omitted). The decision to grant or deny the motion for reconsideration is within "the sound discretion of the district court." Aczel v. Labonia, 584 F.3d 52, 61 (2d Cir. 2009) (citation omitted). Apple's motion, which merely recasts arguments previously made in its pretrial papers, does not come close to meeting this standard. Apple points to no overlooked controlling authority, no intervening new authority, and no new or overlooked facts or data that might conceivably support a motion for reconsideration. It is just more of the same. Apple cannot suggest that its latest extended discussion of the nature of the evidence necessary to establish its participation in a conspiracy under Monsanto likewise was not the subject of prior briefing. Apple simply disagrees with the Court's ruling that Dr. Murphy's opinions (in part) are based on a fundamentally misguided view of the law and therefore are not helpful to a resolution of the issues to be determined at trial. Finally, Apple's brief discussion of the Court's decision excluding portions of Dr. Burtis's testimony presents no evidence, arguments, or decisions that the Court overlooked. 2 2 Apple claims that excluding portions of the expert testimony of Drs. Murphy and Burtis would deprive Apple of its due process right to present a defense. "The fundamental requisite of due process of law is the opportunity to be heard." Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385, 394 (1914). Here, Apple was afforded opportunities to be heard on the 2 A. Apple's Monsanto Arguments Were Fully Briefed and Considered by the Court. As this Court observed at the Final Pretrial Conference, Monsanto was "all over [the parties'] motions in limine . . . and the trial briefs." May 23, 2013 Tr. at 44:15-17. Apple articulated at length its arguments concerning Monsanto in its Memorandum of Law, see Apple Mem. at 22-35; in its Opposition to Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Law, see Apple Opp. at 7-10; and in its Opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion in Limine to Exclude Portions of Dr. Murphy's Testimony, see Apple Opp. to Murphy Mot. In Limine at 1-3. Counsel for Apple also addressed Monsanto orally at the Final Pretrial Conference. In short, Apple offers nothing new here. Apple's motion for reconsideration is simply an attempt to relitigate these issues and should be rejected on that basis alone. But Plaintiffs must also point out that Apple mistakenly continues to focus individually on "each piece of evidence" and asks whether that piece of evidence is consistent with Apple's independent economic interest. Mot. at 4. The law is to the contrary. "The character and effect of a conspiracy are not to be judged by dismembering it and viewing its separate parts, but only by looking at it as a whole." Cont'l Ore Co. v. Union Carbide & Carbon Corp., 370 U.S. 690, 699 (1962) (citation omitted). B. Apple's Arguments Concerning Direct Evidence Were Fully Briefed and Are Irrelevant to the Subject of Apple's Motion. As with its arguments concerning the proper interpretation of Monsanto, Apple also has fully briefed its positions concerning the role of direct evidence in this case. See Apple Mem. at 22-23; Apple Opp. at 5-7. Apple's only new argument—that at the trial stage, a factfinder is not required to accept direct evidence as sufficient to demonstrate the existence of a conspiracy issues raised in its motion for reconsideration in its multiple pretrial memoranda and during the Court's hearing on the motions in limine during the Final Pretrial Conference on May 23rd. 3 (Mot. at 10)—relies wholly on its inexplicable misreading of an unpublished, out-of-circuit decision, Toledo Mack Sales & Service, Inc. v. Mack Trucks, Inc., 386 F. App'x 214, 223 (3d Cir. 2010). That court merely held that a district court did not err by failing to instruct the jury that the evidence the plaintiff had adduced was direct evidence of a conspiracy. Id. at 222-23. Indeed, in the very same opinion, the court reiterated the Second Circuit's rule that "in direct evidence cases, the plaintiff need not adduce circumstantial evidence that tends to exclude the possibility that the alleged conspirators acted independently." Id. at 222 (citations omitted). See also Publ'n Paper Antitrust Litig., 690 F.3d at 63-64; Plaintiffs' Opp. to Apple Mem. at 2-9. Apple's arguments are, accordingly, irrelevant to the Court's decision to exclude portions of Dr. Murphy's testimony and provide no basis for the Court to reconsider that decision. C. Apple Offers No Basis for the Court to Reconsider its Exclusion of Portions of Dr. Burtis's Testimony. Apple's argument in favor of the Court's reconsideration of its exclusion of portions of Dr. Burtis's testimony consists of nothing more than an explanation of why Apple believes Dr. Burtis's conclusions are relevant to this case. It offers no controlling decision or data overlooked by the Court as the basis for its motion and thus nothing that satisfies the exacting standard on motions for reconsideration. Apple's motion should be denied. 4 Dated: June 1, 2013 Respectfully submitted, s/Mark W. Ryan Mark W. Ryan Lawrence E. Buterman David Z. Gringer Stephen T.

Entrapment, Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Neuropathy
|This article has been reviewed by the NeuroWiki Editorial Board
Lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy, also known as "meralgia paresthetica", is an entrapment neuropathy that produces the pure sensory syndrome of pain, paresthesias, and/or numbness along the anterolateral thigh. There is no motor component of this nerve; thus, motor deficits are not present.
The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve arises from the lumbar plexus from the L1 and L2 nerve roots. It emerges from lateral border of the psoas muscle and travels across the iliacus to the medial border of the superior iliac spine. The nerve most commonly enters thigh by traveling through or underneath the ilioinguinal ligament. After crossing the ligament, the nerve divides into an anterior branch that supplies the anterior thigh to knee, and a lateral branch that supplies the lateral thigh after piercing the fascia lata. The nerve is at risk for compression at the point it passes through or under the ilioinguinal ligament. In certain cases, it may undergo compression as it passes over the bony prominence of the pelvic brim. Any compression present at these structures may be aggravated by chronic stretching due to a thick overhanging pannus or by external compression from a tight belt.
Clinical Presentation
Patient typically complain of pain, numbness, and paresthesias along the anterolateral thigh. Symptoms almost never extend below the knee. Weakness in the lower extremity is not present. Patients often relate a history of obesity, prolonged sitting with a seatbelt (e.g. truck drivers), the use of a heavy utility belt (e.g. police officers or line workers), or diabetes.
In most cases, the diagnosis is made on clinical grounds. Electrodiagnostic studies may reveal impairment in sensory conduction along the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. EMG sampling of the upper lumbar paraspinal muscles and lumbar spinal imaging can help exclude an upper lumbar radiculopathy.
Once the diagnosis is made, a trial of noninvasive therapy is indicated. Patients are encouraged to lose weight, refrain from wearing tight belts, and to maintain better control over diabetes, as appropriate. A trial of physical therapy may be quite helpful. The neuropathic pain medications, such as the anticonvulsants and antidepressants, may be utilized. NSAIDs and opiates may be tried as well, depending upon the patient's response. Steroid and/or local anesthetic injections along the course of the nerve at the site of entrapment may be useful as well.
If nonoperative therapy is ineffective, then surgery is typically the next course of treatment. There is some controversy regarding the optimal surgical treatment. One strategy advocates an attempt at nerve decompression and/or transposition, with every attempt possible made to preserve the integrity of the nerve. An advantage of this approach is the avoidance of permanent numbness along the anterolateral thigh following nerve sectioning. Another approach advocates nerve sectioning in all cases. There have been no good comparison studies to evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of these two strategies.
Patients who are actually able to lose weight, achieve significant activity modification, and/or maintain better control of their diabetes may do quite nicely with nonoperative therapy. Surgical therapy is effective in the majority of patients who require it.
Numbness, and rarely, deafferentation pain or a sensory neuroma can occur after nerve sectioning. During sectioning, the nerve is divided under tension, and allowed to retract to an intrapelvic location, to minimize the likelihood of forming a painful sensory neuroma.

Homecoming weekend
October 03, 2011
Queen Rachel Kent and King Quatez Scott
Contributed by Kelsey Sullivan
This past weekend was Homecoming Weekend at Wilmington College. Friday night we had a hypnotist come and put on a show at the TOP. The TOP is the name of the cafeteria at Wilmington College. It is located on top of the Pyle Center, which is the second floor. Saturday was the big day of the weekend! In the morning we had Greek (frats & sororities) bed races where the Greeks race beds and compete against each other! After that we had the judging of the homecoming banners and then the football game at two o'clock. Unfortunately our Quakers did not win, But it still fun to see the homecoming king and queen at halftime! Later on that night there was a homecoming dance in the McCoy building, next to the Watson Library, that was put on by APB which is an organization that puts on many events and activities for the students of Wilmington College. After the homecoming dance I went to one of the frat houses, Sigma Zeta house, which most students just shorten down to the Sig house. Finally the weekend had to come to an end. Sunday, I went home to visit and hang out with my family, get some laundry done and catch up on some homework. I had a great homecoming weekend. Stay tuned and keep updated with mine and other student bloggers posts to see what happening at Wilmington College.

Where did this month go?
September 30, 2011
Contributed by Brad Fuller
I can't believe September is almost gone! This means that I will be changing my rotation for Wilmington College Athletic Training next week. This month, I was with the women's soccer team. Next month, I will be at a local chiropractic clinic for half of the month and at Dayton Sports Medicine Institute (DSMI) the other half of the month. These locations are both off campus and will be my first off campus rotations that aren't directly athletic training. I believe that this will be a good experience because it will give me a chance to see other medical professionals practice and how the whole medical system is interconnected. Once I graduate from Wilmington College, my goal is to go to Physical Therapy School. The great thing about Wilmington College's Athletic Training program is that you can get clinical experience in many different fields so you can find out if you are interested in something, or so you can know the different professions that Athletic Trainers can refer athletes to. I will be looking forward to the physical therapy clinic rotation!
In other news, this weekend is homecoming here! If you can, come support the football team as they play Muskingum at 2p.m. at home!

Semih Erden: From preseason delight to regular season onlooker
There was something about this rookie. He was more polished than the average first-year player. He knew his role and didn't deviate from it. He understood defensive principles and often made his biggest contributions while hedging the pick-and-roll. He wasn't perfect, not by any means, but he still spent the preseason impressing everyone who watched the Celtics. This Semih Erden kid was going to be a player.
Then the regular season started, and it's been a different story since then. Through three games Erden hasn't impressed anyone at all. He hasn't exactly had a chance to, as he spent his first three NBA games doing what most rookies have done during the Doc Rivers era:
Erden watched every second of those games from his front-row seat. So much for that exciting preseason.
Rivers is well-known and respected as a so-called players' coach, and some have noted that he's the only leading man who can handle the Celtics' strong personalities. But if he has one fault, it's that he doesn't trust rookies. He refuses to play young talents until they sufficiently impress him in practice. One gets the feeling that Michael Jordan would have waited on the bench for a year before finally cracking Rivers's rotation. Okay, maybe not Michael Jordan, but you get the point.
Even though Erden is a rookie, Rivers might not have the option to keep him stapled to the bench. The O'Neal brothers are already ailing, and neither has ever been a candidate to play an 82-game regular season. At some point this season, and it could come as early as Tuesday, there will be a need for additional size. There will be a need to rely on a seven-foot rookie who barely speaks the English language.
"It's tough when you're a rookie and you understand me," Rivers told ESPN Boston. "It's even tougher when you don't."
But Erden looked just fine in the preseason, and he didn't speak any better then. Language is a problem, sure, but the Celtics still need to give him an opportunity to play, an opportunity to blossom, an opportunity to get thrown into the fire and see if he survives.
Even if Rivers loved rookies, opportunities behind the O'Neal brothers would be thin. I know that. But when they do come, like when Jermaine O'Neal missed Friday's game against the Knicks, why not play Erden? He earned spot minutes in preseason, didn't he? At least when one of the O'Neals sits out?
"[Erden is] going to be a good big in this league and he's going to be a good big in this league for a long time," Rivers said. "I don't know if he's a good enough big right now."
There's only one way to find out, Doc. Put him in the game.

Well he didn't play against the Knicks because they have a much smaller, more athletic line up.
When Mozgov is out of the game, they have no legitimate Center, Turiaf is listed at 6'10, but watching him on the court I get the feeling that he took that measurement wearing heels.
The pace of play was very high, so Doc elected to go with Davis at 5 for a lot of the game. He has no problem guarding Turiaf, who barely has an inch on him, and play much more like a PF then Center. So I think it's the smart play against that line up.
When matchups require the size, you'll see Erden (assuming the Oneals are limited/not playing again.)

Of course that is going to happen. With a deep bench of veterans like that, Erden will be see nothing but pine

Erden is ready to play he watched all three games carefully,he is less nervous,he has his teammates support if he can experience little minutes he will warm to the atmosphere and do fine.Rivers will give him the chance if he can shine he'll play more if he can't Rivers will give him a second chance.Nothing has started yet dont be so negative and judging about him!!

This week's song was begun about a year ago, born out of thoughts on the economic hijinks on Wall Street and beyond. Much of the specific inspiration, though, came from this piece, which was part of the fantastic comic-art show Marg had in 2007.
Seriously, a couple of years ago you couldn't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a brand-new condo building. Giant barfing construction anime-critters are the ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. Most of these places never seemed to sell many units, and yet the developers made enough to take a vacation in Paris and then build the next one. Made no sense to me until everything went down the tubes.
I imagine something bigger and proggier for this one eventually, but this version gets the ideas across, I think.
Build it up (get yer .mp3 RIGHT HERE, folks. Step right up!)

Build it up
then walk away
buy it out
then make them pay
fill it in
but never stay
build it up
build it up
sell it off
before it's done
burn it down
just for fun
write it off
while you're on the run
build it up
build it up
it's all we know
and change, change comes slow
these are the cards we show
it's all we know
grab a piece
but don't pay cash
wring it dry
and toss the trash
ride it high
then let it crash
build it up.
