A recent messageboard topic on tips for first-time gym-goers stirred my thoughts this morning while I savoured my regular routine of a cup of tea. I reflected upon the hurdles faced when we begin this path, and few appear more daunting than the gym -- though I put calorie counting right up there, and the new, rather daunting awareness which comes with just how many calories are in a slice of Giordano's pizza.
Facing the coordinated regulars in a group class can be enough to send me running for the consolation of the stationary bike, which though a steady friend, fails to give me the same cardio burn as leaping around, bending, squatting, and dancing my way through a grueling routine for an hour. Let's face it, the Y's group classes burn far more and keep me focused much longer than anything if left to my own devices. But realizing I have the roundest tummy or happen to be off the beat more than anyone else is incredibly daunting.
And given my limited experience, since I've been "off" for a good three weeks from doing a gym class, I can say unquestionably it doesn't matter one whit. Getting all worked up about what people think about me proves to be a waste of energy, brainpower, and focus best turned upon breathing regularly or getting those weights in tandem. (I'm terrible at that, sometimes, especially when distracted by "Oh darn it, I'm doing this wrong!" thoughts.) No one else really pays attention to you. They're watching the instructor or their own weights or space around them.
This is a hard lesson to learn when first starting out, I admit. But there comes a point when you can stress over whether you look like an idiot or if you're feeling the burn in the right place. My goal is more and more to get a better workout, specifically where it counts. Now that I'm a little past the awkward stage, improving my form means more than if I just messed up. I've learned if I'm off from the rest of the class, don't sweat it and keep going. Everyone knows I'm new. I haven't been here with the rest of the ladies since April doing the same routines. Releasing anxiety is *so* important.
It's a lesson I have to regularly learn, and Spark messages go a long way to reinforcing positive, healthy behaviour. So what if I messed up? Nothing is impossible and at the end of the day, I just spent an hour in aerobics or 35 minutes lifting weights correctly, grimace or no grimace.
Good luck, first-timers, and I hope to see you back next week.
When I realized my last blog entry was dated for nearly two months ago, it saddened me considerably, especially since I haven't been consistent through the later half of June with working out. I can blame a 10 day vacation in Canada for that, but in the end, it's time to look forward rather than staring back at a heap of "meant to do" and "could have beens."
Today my brother and I will go to the gym, and I intend to put in my hour-long workout to meet my goals for the day. Maybe we'll swim against one another in a competitive challenge, maybe we'll both bike or something on the machines. The YMCA is great for permitting me three guest-passes, and I resolve to get involved in the classes this week instead of balking at the times they happen. Maybe going to bed earlier so I rise gracefully as I did this morning will be the key but I have to get control.
I went to the doctor and saw my weight hasn't changed -- just 10 lbs lost, but I suppose that's something to be proud of. But I want to be in the 160s, and hitting 140 by September at least. Therefore I will use this time to motivate myself and stop worrying about what I haven't done these past fourteen to sixteen days. Excuses may be plentiful but in the end, it's my body and my routine I control.
So let's make the most of it.
My challenge this week is pushing myself to do better than I have last week. Small steps get us to our goals better than mighty leaps, but I am one of those people who finds herself mid-stride expecting to clear a great chasm instead of taking another route. It's probably the product of high expectations and the "instant results" generation I belong to.
Take, for example, my fitness circuit. Today I pounded out 35 minutes or so on the stationary bike at the Y, but came away feeling less tired, sweaty and exhausted than I did from the strength training the day before. Even though I was hitting 125 RPM by the end for a full two minutes, I didn't get the same burn. Obviously I need to up the settings to get my heart in the anaerobic zone (and who says you don't learn anything from the blog articles...). Still, it's getting myself to recognize that.
My levels seem so variable. Sometimes I have tons of energy and other times I can barely lift 30 lbs. with my arms. I do not know where to find the means to overburden my body without going extreme, and trying to mentally convince myself another 5 minutes of biking (or 2 of running), let's do three more pulls on this machine, let's not eat that cookie can be a little difficult.
Is there a better way to manage this? I find organizing a fitness plan to be a little less advantageous than following a circuit. I know interval training gets high marks, but it's again finding the way to measure these bursts and make them happen that eludes me.
"To dare is to do." It's a good quote to live by.
Today I think it summarizes very well. It urges me to go farther than I have, to stop thinking about all the reasons why I cannot and just do it. Nike knew what they were about choosing that as their slogan. A trainer I met with at the YMCA on Friday led me to a valuable point during our conversation. I could be done my goal in the time I spend coming up with limiting reasons or growing wishy-washy on a decision.
Today's lesson lay in a silver, black, and red frame that for months hung from a hook in my garage. Such grand ambitions I had about this bicycle and all the things I was going to do with it last summer, none of which I actually achieved. Seeing yesterday's post probably gives a very strong indication of what actually happened. I did all my research about a subject I became enamored of, discovered the bike I wanted at a very modest discount during the height of bicycle-riding season, and promptly ignored the desire to be able to make 10 to 20 miles in one trip after some practice.
The bike came down the other day, with a cracked reflector from getting it over the hook, and my derriere has been planted on it almost every other day. When I feel my cardio has been insufficient for the day or I am officially on a strength training day, this steed has become my faithful companion. The trip from my house to the library directly clocks in at 1 mile each way. I've done that and roamed around the adjacent subdivision with all its winding roads on three occasions in the past week, staying out for at least ten minutes to qualify for calorie burning.
Last time, I pondered going all the way to Bailey Road, which is the first major cross-street up from us. High in traffic and a major thoroughfare, I wanted to use back roads to get safely there. My incentive would be getting my nails done at Salon 21. It's the closest facility though the one I normally go to is several miles down the road by car, and it seemed appropriate. Eventually I wanted to ride over to Spokes, the local bike shop, across Bailey for some distance. J saw a bike team riding up our road led by two people with jerseys from the shop on Thursday, and advised I look into a beginning rider's group. Sound advice.
I gave myself to the weekend to do two things, on account of it being lovely (and obligated to drive downtown for a Mogwai concert, limiting my available time).
1. Ride to Bailey.
2. Ride to Spokes.
Yesterday I tried #1, but I couldn't figure out how to get there because I couldn't find a through road. I felt I should be able to do it. Today I got on my bike after eyeing up Google maps and determined the shop was 3 miles away by the correct route avoiding all the crazy traffic built up on a Saturday afternoon. I leapt on my bike, put my feet to the pedals, and started off. I got to Spokes easily enough, found out they were swamped and was asked to come back Monday or Tuesday to discuss the biking group.
Serendipity, really, as it means I'll do it again.
They tightened my kickstand and gave me two free reflectors to replace the one I broke on the front wheel taking the bike down. Not matching the ones I have but good enough, and definitely made me feel good. I rode across back to the Bailey bridge, and instead of crossing the river and going straight home, I turned down the bike/jogging path. I'm so glad I did. Contrary to my beliefs the lower half of the trail is not closed and I swept along the river at a moderate bore, actually breaking into heavier breathing than I had up to that time. I stopped at the light, and turned around rather than heading up that hill.
But I broke both the things I set out to do - get to Spokes, cross Bailey via a new, safe route - and one other thing. I got 7 miles total in.
I could be sitting back at an intersection deciding if I really wanted to go that way, or I could be pedalling myself there. I chose the right path today.
Sometimes positive motivation works when I have a clear goal in mind. I like to say, too often, that I lack any sort of willpower. And yet, when it comes down to it, I got myself through an international move in three weeks (from time of resume submission on a lark to physically crossing the border), figuring out immigration on my own without relying upon a lawyer, and renewed my passport. This draws me to the conclusion I may not be totally as undriven as I like to make myself out to be.
This time it needs to be my body, and I cannot stop just as soon as I reach my stated goal (lose 45 lbs.). I like to get the components I need for whatever goal together, throw it all into the pot, and then presumably forget about it. My hobbies can be a testament to that, which means the sticking power proves my greatest threat. I can start with all pistons firing but the gas sometimes runs out when something bigger, better and brighter comes along.
To counter that, I've made a visual commitment to myself in some ways. In this case, I went out and bought a pair of shorts from Nordstrom Rack I had been eyeing up and thinking about sporadically for the better part of three weeks. I am digging the "board" clothing lines lately, since I think they personify more health and the radiant vitality I am aiming for, plus they suit more to my age and interests (or wishful interests) than trying to look like a glitterati 20 year old clubber. Volcom is my brand du jour, though I have eyed up O'Neill and Roxy at Pacific Sun just as often. This all started with an Australian magazine article, a scan I read at girlwithasatchel.blogspot.com/ (Girl with a Satchel) blog. I'll get to that, one day.
And here they are.
Point is, I decided rather than _reward_ myself, I was going to motivate myself.
Besides, those shorts might not be there when I was ready to wear them. And I assure myself, I am *going* to be ready to wear them by summer's end. Ideally they will be too loose around my thighs and require the next size down but I truly want to find my legs toned enough that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear them to the store, riding my bike, or walking about on the weekend. Right now I'd be fairly mortified.
I admit the colour is bright, the design a bit out there... but that's the whole point. Something that draws attention will reinforce to me, that, hey, I am healthy. I am doing the right things. One of these days I will be the girl with the glowing skin and assurance walking around the gym, and it won't be too long. I was scared, too, I did my job wrong. Sure, we all make mistakes, but I was so doubtful I could get it done.
Those same doubts never hit with the project for immigration. Why do they haunt me in day-to-day activities? I am going to nip that in the bud. This is a material reward, and I shouldn't need them, but it points me where I will go. I want to fit in my favourite Seven for All Mankind jeans. I want back in the upper 20s sizewise again.
And my ultimate reward, I think, may be running down Moonlight Beach in San Diego with my best friend, carefree, full of energy, realizing I not only look good but I feel good.
And knowing then, in my heart, yes, B and J and N were right all along.
It just took 10 years to accept.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, every single leading Muslim intellectual was in love with the west, and wanted their countries to look just like Britain and France. Some of them even said that the Europeans were better Muslims than they themselves, because their modern society had enabled them to create a fairer and more just distribution of wealth, than was possible in their pre-modern climates, and that accorded more perfectly with the vision of the Quran. Then there was the experience of colonialism under Britain and France, experiences like Suez, the Iranian revolution, Israel, and some people, not all by any means have allowed this ... these series of disasters to corrode into hatred. Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death. crucified, and that turned into victory. Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength. But against the West, it's been able to make no headway, and this is as disturbing for Muslims as the discoveries of Darwin have been to some Christians. The Quran says that if you live according to the Quranic ideal, implementing justice in your society, then your society will prosper, because this is the way human beings are supposed to live. But whatever they do, they cannot seem to get Muslim history back on track, and this has led some, and only a minority, it must be said, to desperate conclusions.Karen Armstrong

If there was ever an action movie that didn't warrant a sequel, it's Speed. However, the film grossed enough money to be numbered among the big summer hits of 1994, and the unfortunate result is this film, which reunites director Jan de Bont with leading lady Sandra Bullock, while leaving Keanu Reeves somewhere safe and dry, "working on his music" with his band, Dogstar. Considering the dubious quality of the final product, this may be the wisest decision of the young actor's career. Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made.James Berardinelli
Aristocracies hate and fear demagogues most of all, while democracies in their pure form hate and fear elitists most of all, because they are unjust, i.e., they do not accept the leading principle of justice in those regimes. Hence each regime discounts those who are most likely to recognize and compensate for its political and intellectual propensities, while it admires those who encourage them.Allan David Bloom

As it stands, philosophy is just another humanities subject, rather contentless, without a thought of trying to take command in the crisis of the university. Actually it contains less of the exhilarating presence of the tradition in philosophy than do the other humanities disciplines, and one finds its professors least active of the humanists in attempts to revitalize liberal education. Although there was a certain modesty about ordinary language analysis We just help to give you clarity about what you are already doingthere was also smugness: We know what was wrong with the whole tradition, and we dont need it anymore. Therefore the tradition disappeared from philosophys confines. ... [Todays jargon] was produced by philosophy and was in Europe known to have been produced by philosophy, so that it paved a road to philosophy. In America its antecedents remain unknown. We took over the results without having had any of the intellectual experiences leading to them. But the ignorance of the origins and the fact that American philosophy departments do not lay claim to them are in fact just as ignorant of them as is the general publicmeans that the philosophic content of our language and lives does not direct us to philosophy. This is a real difference between the Continent and us. Here the philosophic language is nothing but jargon.Allan David Bloom
I felt dissatisfied with traditional perspective. Merely a mechanical process, this perspective never conveys things in full. It starts from one viewpoint and never gets away from it. But the viewpoint is quite unimportant.

International Lease Finance, a Los Angeles-based aircraft leasing firm, switched an order for five Airbus A380 cargo planes to the passenger version, according to news reports. ILFC also deferred delivery of the aircraft to 2013 and beyond. ILFC had ordered 10 A380s in all.
The latest fallout in the A380 market follows the FedEx decision to cancel its orders and a decision by Emirates to convert its small A380 freighter order to passenger planes.
UPS still is considering the future of its a380 freighter orders. But industry observers say the air cargo version becomes less viable as orders decline.

What the OP (313 comments)
It's implied that they have userland software that for some reason won't work in 64 bit windows. The asker then goes on to suggest using 6 different OS's as well, as if their finicky software has no problem with linux or windows from XP to 8. Is the real question about PAE? I feel like we are missing something here.

What other feedback mechanism is in place to prevent secrecy being used to just cover up rather than protect legitimately secret documents?
I'm of the opinion that if you give anyone the power to declare information secret if will be abused to some degree X. What can be done to keep X as small as possible while still protecting real secrets?
I don't think there is a simple answer. While Bradley Manning's alleged actions are illegal and there should be punishment, the secrecy system has no practical safeguards right now - so in general I have a hard time saying that those actions had an overall negative effect for my country.

Re:My view. (396 comments)
Very well written. I only wanted to make one, trivial comment - an OS cannot possibly allow an email program to directly change the latency of interrupt handlers (your DPC latency remark). This implies that a userland program can somehow change the behavior of the kernel and hardware significantly, which either cannot or should not be the case.
As tiny as that statement is, especially mixed in with a sea of insightful, poignant insight I found the juxtaposition of your knowledge with that one remark vexing.

Reality VS Expectations (396 comments)
When are the Windows folks going to get to the desperation phase?
I'm lucky I was able to do so, but I jumped the Windows ship entirely mid-Vista era. Before I get flamed to death, I'm only speaking for my perspective, here.
For me, I can spend mental resources on several things: learning new technologies, making things work, development, etc. The key point is those resources are finite. Having done Windows administration since NT, I can tell you from past experience and from where the Redmond train is headed you will always be re-learning how to do the same things. Damn near everything I learned in linux with Redhat Valhalla still applies or is just slightly different now, in 2012. What has changed is me. Because of the time I have spent honing my skill with an OS whose skills tend to carry over, I have an entire corporate network that I can easily manage, with comfort knowing there will always be a distro, mine or someone elses, I will be able to get work done in. From a software persepective, I'm really happy I didn't spend a bunch of mental resources learning Silverlight/.NET whatever and put the time into learning Scala, Python bunch other exciting techs that are Free to do what I want with, not just MS. I don't want career lock-in, essentially.
Just my 2 cents, we'll see if my bet continues to pay off.
The PBX istelf is the easy part (224 comments)
You need to really be concerned about the following:
1.) Provisioning the equipment. I don't know how "small" a small office is, but this is going to spiral out of control quickly if you don't have an elegant way to setup handsets and make changes.
2.) Your change from circuit switched to packets. There are a lot of discussion points here, but the biggest you need to be aware of is latency is king. You might have a really slick p2p setup with OpenSWAN on 2 high bandwidth, cheap DSL or cable connections, but the jitter will kill you.
3.) How does your voice come in? If you are under contract and you have a PRI or some TDM circuit, you have to consider how you will interface that, and the cards you will need, or the SIP gateway you'll buy are not cheap.
4.) Who is going to manage the call routes, system secuity. I'm well versed with Asterisk, and you'll not find an all inclusive interface unless you go the Digium SwitchVOX route. If you don't pay close attention to security up front, you will experience toll fraud pronto.
5.) Handset support. What are you going to do for replacement parts, who is going to setup all the buttons, etc.
6.) Codecs. Some of the best are not free, i.e. G729. Just about any handset you get will support G711, but 12 bits of fidelity at 64k/sec each way (plur overheard for UDP/RTP) is not that great.
7.) Voice prompts, auto attendants, voicemail, etc.
8.) Status/BLF lights on phones. There isn't really a standardized way to do this, but SIP's Subscribe/Notify is used by some, I think Aastra.
9.) Key system habits. You won't be able to "pick up Line 2".
If I haven't scared you out of it yet, Aastra and Snom make excellent, RFC 3261 compliant handsets, Asterisk is a lot better than it used to be, and there are some alterntives you might find interesting like FreeSwitch or YXA.
Good luck.

Obama, Boehner Dig In on Raising Taxes for Wealthy
Compromise has become mandatory if the two leaders are to avoid economic harm and the anger of a public sick of government dysfunction.
Obama says he is willing to talk about changes to Medicare and Medicaid, earning him the ire of the left. Boehner says he will accept raising tax revenue and not just slashing spending, although he insists it must be done by reworking the tax code, not raising rates. The framework, at least, is there for a broad deal on taxes.
Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor, Donna Cassata, Julie Pace, Matthew Daly, Jim Kuhnhenn and Ken Thomas contributed to this report.___ Follow Ben Feller on Twitter at www.twitter.com/BenFellerDC

I am shocked and saddened by the sudden death of my friend and colleague Michael Scott. Michael cared passionately about public education and made many courageous decisions as president of the Board. He gave his time, energy and talents to improving the life chances of children. Chicago has lost a great leader, and the city's school children have lost a devoted champion. I extend my deepest condolences to his wife and family.

This government shutdown nonsense is hurting people
This letter is 100% sincere. The inflammatory name-calling aside, I don't see how an elected official can look at the *facts* presented in the article referenced and not see that they are doing the American people a great disservice.
I would love to get an answer from Mr. Sensenbrenner, but I don't expect to get one.
October 4, 2013
120 Bishops Way, #154
Brookfield, WI 53005
Dear F. James Sensenbrenner,
Regarding the ongoing federal government shutdown, you should read the Oct. 1, 2013 article from Esquire Magazine titled "The Reign Of Morons Is Here."
I know it's long, I don't know if you have time to read things on the internet, so I'll highlight one of the better clips for you:
"We have elected an ungovernable collection of snake-handlers, Bible-bangers, ignorami, bagmen and outright frauds, a collection so ungovernable that it insists the nation be ungovernable, too."
Is that a fair characterization? I like to think its untrue, but I'm not sure. You are part of that system. You tell me.
Only you, Mr. Sensenbrenner, have the power to change that characterization. Only you, Mr. Sensenbrenner, have the power to stand up and shout: "No! You are wrong! I am not a snake handler, bible banger, ignoramus, bagman, or outright fraud! I am compassionate, intelligent human being, and I will do what's right and end this government shutdown nonsense because it is hurting people and I am not a monster!"
Will you do that, Mr. Sensenbrenner? Or is the Esquire Magazine article right? You tell me. I'm not seeing evidence to the contrary, that's for sure.
Please forward this letter to as many of your colleagues you feel would benefit to see it. I don't even mind if you read this message verbatim and pass the words off as your own. I won't tell anyone.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Constituent,
In love and friendship,
Gabriel D. W. Wollenburg
Watertown, WI
'This is not something you can experience on Facebook'
The speech given by John Greendeer, President of the Ho-Chunk Nation speaking during the powwow following the Penokee Hills Education Summit on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2013, is as good as explaination as any as to why my family and made the trek up to the Whitecap Resort to be part of the Penokee Hills Education Summit.
'It is our duty to protect her'
John Greendeer, President of the Ho-Chunk Nation, told the Penokee Hills community that the Ho-Chunk Nation is committed to supporting the ongoing efforts to protect the Penokee Hills from destructive and unnecessary mining.
"This place is not something you can experience on Facebook," he said. "You have to travel up here and be part of this to understand."
Every difference we have ever had is set aside while we get together to protect Mother Earth, Greendeer said. This is our grandmother. It is our duty to protect her.
Its about the water.
Posting this before the big summit this weekend.
This is footage I shot at Tyler Forks and Peterson Falls in Ironwood and Ashland counties a few weeks ago. The audio comes from the speech given by Mel Gasper at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources public hearing held at Hurley High School on Aug. 15.
If you can't be at the Penokee Hills Education Summit this weekend, you should watch Indian Country News' live announcements from the Summit at White Cap Mountain Sept. 20 and 21. The live broadcasts are planned for Friday and Saturday IndianCountryNews.com, IndianCountryTV.com or on their livestream.
In Memory of A Friend
Many of us lost a good friend yesterday. I remember Ty, and what is remembered, lives.
To his memory, I offer this:
In Memory of Tyler
The D&D Games that will never be played
and the Pink Floyd songs that will never be the same
remind us of the struggle and the pain
that accompany talent and an almost limitless potential.
Escape comes too soon, my friend.
It was one of those sticky hot days of summer when you were young
that I held you on my lap to make sure you could breathe.
The air was thick on the island and we brought you water to drink and hid your shaking body in the cool shade of the willow trees along the river.
I was one of your many friends who held you that day.
If only we could have done it for you one more time.
Remember when you were young, you shown like the sun.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
A tale of two camps
Tomorrow, at some point, I will have to wash the blood-red mud from my boots that collected as I wandered through the Penokee Hills this weekend.
I brought my Mother-in-law and her friend up to the LCO Harvest Camp on Saturday, August 10, 2013. We had two stops in mind. The first was the Harvest Camp itself. The second was to try to see, first hand, what the impact commercial mining interests are having on the land up there. It is a tale of two camps, really. Two different approaches to working the land.
The LCO Harvest Camp
It was my second time visiting the camp; I am not a local. I am not native to Iron County in any sense of the word. I'm a guy who believes in the healing power of nature. Both times I've stepped into the Harvest Camp I have been greeted warmly, offered dinner, and showed great hospitality. I meet people for the first time and I know that I am among friends.
The campers have made homes away from home in the woods, and are harvesting its bounty while doing healing work to the land and to our culture. Around every corner is a welcoming sight: a row of squash, a collection of firewood. A wigwam built just in case someone decides to stay overnight even though they didn't bring any gear.
The Harvest Camps trails and pathways are sculpted using natural methods; putting the lay of the land and the method of ingress at balance with each other.
My daughter made fast friends with other kids at the camp.She learned how to identify at least six different types of edible plants growing in the camp itself. She and another little girl parked down the hill for some time and raided the raspberry bushes. My mother-in-law wanted to stay and talk politics and swap protest stories with the other folks at the camp. I wanted to wander off into the woods and see what there was to see.
We came to the camp as protesters, and we left it as human beings. There is magic in the camp; magic in its bounty and in it's people. There is magic in the whispering winds and the lightening strikes and the pile of discarded cooking materials that the campers have cleaned out of the public lands and put on display.
There is a magic in this camp that comes from the union of people, tree, flora and fauna.
The site of the ongoing mining
A mile up the road is a site of another kind. Visitors are not welcomed with warmth and compassion, but by a gate bound with a lock and chain. Although both lands are public, this site is fenced and the only greeting a visitor receives from is a callous yellow sign demanding that visitors to this parcel of not ride motor vehicles, and do not stay overnight.
There is no face to great you. No name to welcome you. No friend to see that you are well. On this site, there is Only the cold hard path of destruction wrought with the carelessness that only a corporation can.
While we were on our hike our little family van was cased several times by men driving black trucks. We found walking sticks to help us up the incline and around the muddy trenches that have been carved in the side of the hills by heavy machinery. The path is lined with synthetic riprap and optic orange fences. At certain points the riprap funnels runoff into a couple of hay bales that do not seem to be doing much in the way preventing erosion.
As we walked, the mud grew thicker and the pathway became more torn up. The woods here is different. Not less beautiful, (industrial trenches notwithstanding), but different. Here, the woods is somber. Is it hurting?
And even still, life grows here. The aformentioned hay bales have sprouted, as if succumbing to the land's great fertility. Mushrooms and toadstools take advantage of the disruption in the forest floor to grow quick and die young.
I spotted a small prayer bag dangling from a tree. The ribbon was made from raffia and the bag was made of cotton. It contained wishes for healing, no doubt. It was certainly left as a gift from the human campers down the road. I stopped and silently added my own wish for an end to this unbalanced and unnessesary destruction of our natural resources.
My thoughts were interrupted when I hear a man yawn in the woods. I can't be sure, but I am convinced I hear the sound of someone stifle a yawn and then a branch shake. I spun around to look at where I think the sound came from. I looked deeply into the woods. I did not see anyone. I looked deeper. Still nothing. But I am convinced there was someone there. We were being watched.
At that point, I decided was time to return to our car. The path had become mostly impassable for foot traffic without doing some serious off-roading and I'm not sure I wanted to startle the sleepy spy over in the trees by accidentally treading on him.
It is a far, far better thing I do now
A tale of two camps. One seeks to build communion with the land and the
other seeks to take resources from it. One camp seeks to healing the rifts that separate flora from fauna, and the other seeks to dividing and conquer both.
Come to the land. Listen to it. See if with your own eyes. There is beauty there. It is public land. It is open to you. You owe it to yourself to set foot on the Penokee's sacred soil and feel her sing beneath you feet as you hike.
A road that takes you home.
There is a road that takes you home no matter which way you are traveling.
My friend Sgt. Pete and I are headed out on County Trunk X, northbound. The sun is setting in the west as I roll both driver and passenger windows down and let the springtime breeze throw my hair around and this song comes on.
The Long Winters' Blanket Hog. It might not, thematically, be the appropriate piece of poetry for the moment I was feeling, but it certainly was the right song.
I've driven, bicycled, walked, and skateboarded down this road before. I have been traveling on this road betwixt my homes for 38 some years. Now I am at a stage in my life where I am literally driving both to and from home.
There are people in this world who will never come to this place.
And fewer still who find a good song playing on the radio when they realize this.
oh, you know, resting
The plan was to slow down this weekend so Jenifer could rest and get ready for Tuesday. I'm pleased to report that we did a really good job of slowing down. We only did a ton of things this weekend instead of the shit ton of things we usually do.
- Went rummange-saleing in Jefferson.
- Danced a Maypole and hand a wonderful celebration at a friends
- One load of laundry.
- Introduced a friend to Sgt. Pete
- Had a friend spend the night.
- Three loads of laundry.
- Assembled a four-peice patio set
- Picked up some of the sitcks in the yard.
- Recovered an herb garden in the back yard, and turned it into a cucumber patch.
- Went to Ace and bought a huge bag of dogfood.
*Introcuded another friend to Srgt. Pete.
- Moved an upright freezer out of a friend's basement in West Allis.
Put that freezer (temporarily) in my Garage.
Made a butternut squash soup.
- Made a quick stop for groceries.
- Brought up all the garden stuff from the basement.
So yeah. Rest assured, it was a pretty slow weekend.
Struggling... and stuff.
I have really been struggling with depression lately. It's bad. As bad as it has ever been. Whil Wheaton talks a good game about depression.
I, like Whil, have a hard time "reconciling my awesome life" with feeling shitty all the time. I have great friends, good support, an awesome kid. I wasn't on fucking Star Trek, but that's a pretty high bar.
I don't get suicidal. That's just never been on the table. But I walk around with this internal self-talk that whispers lies to me about what a terrible, incompetent, ugly person I am. And I know it's not true, but its still something I hear a lot. I'm not fishing for compliments here. Please don't feel the need to respond to that.
I am simply calling out the fact that I seem to be my own worst enemy, wallowing in the negative self-talk. Especially after surviving a summer that cost me my job, car, and home, in that order. It's easy pick up the pieces and say 'hooray! I get to start over,' and it's quite another to mean it.
Of course, there's power in that shadow talk, and I have it within me to harness that power. But, seriously, it's hard work. It takes working with a professional, and having a treatment plan, and sticking with it and stuff. It's not just a thing you can "buck up and get over."
When I worked in Mental Health, there was this chestnut that compared the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment to seeking medical treatment: "You wouldn't expect yourself to just snap out of a broken arm."
And it's true. You wouldn't. But at the same time, there's not an entire fucking culture and industry swirling around you that denies a broken arm is a "serious" thing to suffer.
Case in point: What kind of emergency mental health coverage do you have? Emergency mental health care isn't even a thing. A 72-hour hold isn't health care, it's a parking lot. Our culture doesn't have a way to address a mental health emergency, for the most part. That's fucked up, right?
I don't have any answers. I just want to enjoy the richness of my life and feel safe and content once in awhile.
Phase IV
I have this artificial barometer for "How I'm Doin'" these days. It's called this here blog.
I started blogging a long time ago because I felt like I couldn't put everything I wanted to put into my Newspaper collumns into my newspaper, and I needed an outlet where I would write about videogames and movies and tv shows I liked. I did some podcasting and made some observations about life and culture.
Then, awhile later, I said that everything had to change. And I reinvented this here blog. I put up one of those Everything new is old again posts, and launched WriteLarge.com, Phase II: Now with Drupal.
The internet kind of grew up around that idea and became an outlet where everyone writes about video games and movies and tv shows they like. I like that. There's so many good places out there nowadays to read about what video games and movies and tv shows that people like. It's good.
Then, in a post that I'm pretty sure I didn't think was rambling and incoherent at the time, I launched WriteLarge.com, Phase III. Now with more of the same things.
I still want to write about things, I really do. But videogames, movies and tv shows are not really the things I feel compelled to write about anymore. I guess it's a sign of being not-quite 40, but I no longer care to compel you to like what I like. I guess I don't care if you and I have a difference of opinion on whether it is a good emotional investment to watch sportsball. Fandom comes in many flavors. Whatever makes you happy, I guess.
I wrote a letter today to my lawyer about the car accident I was in last June. It made me sad and upset. I wrote a release note for a piece of software that you'll never use but will impact the lives of 4 in 10 of you today. It did not make me sad and upset. Both of them created compelling writing. But neither of them was very satisfying.
That's what I'm getting at here. I'm done writing for you, dear reader of this here blog. (As if I ever did....) I'm writing for me now. I want to write in fucking markdown with links and in a CMS that I like, and I want it to be published immediately, and I want it to be ok if it has 10,000 typos in it because fuck you, guy who has to point out typos.
*ahem.* ... And so.
Here comes Writelarge.com Phase IV.
Look the fuck out.
It's where I live now
People of Watertown! Hear my plea!
Its not you; it's your children. They are ruining it for everyone. They are surly and obnoxious. They fear no man. They linger in the shadows, hiding in the dark places where old beer cans linger and trash bags stop swirling and rest. They sneer as you drive past, avoiding your eye, but challenging you from beneath their furrowed brows. Have you raised a city of feral beasts?
Shackle them! Shackle them, I say! Let them taste the willow switch! Help them to know how meaningless they are! For your dark places, dear people of Watertown, are overrun with these feral beasts. And they are not studying late at the library, as they have claimed. They are under a bridge by the river where the cops don't come by and they can smoke their cigarettes in peace.
I am aware of these truths, People of Watertown. I am aware because I know of these children. I am one of them returned. I am a feral child sprung from your riverbed, loosed on the county trunk highways. I walk again through your garbage strewn alleyways. I prowl across the parking lots surrounding the parkways.
But it is different now. This time, Watertown, I stop to pick up the trash in those alleyways. I chase the rat-children back to their homes.
Help me. Help me. Help me to help you, Watertown. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in.

Cheats, Codes & FAQs
Earning the "Street Sweeper" Achievement
The best time to earn this Achievement is at dusk, just before nightfall. Find a grate and wait for dusk. Freaks will begin to spawn from the grate. Find a car and build up speed before power sliding into the Freaks with the A button, before they have a chance to spread out. They should still be close enough to each other than you can take out five of them with one power slide and unlock the Achievement.
Earning the "Pebble Dash" Achievement
Play through the game until you unlock a tall Agency Tower and collect enough green orbs to unlock the Wingsuit. Take a helicopter to the absolute peak of Agency Tower and jump into the chimney stack. Make sure you deploy your Wingsuit before hitting the toilet's water in order to survive. Survive the fall and you'll unlock the Achievement.
Earning the "Bomberman" Achievement
The best way to earn this Achievement is to create a massive chain reaction. Gather as many flammable objects as possible and stack them near each other. Toss a grenade into the pile to set them all off one-by-one. If the Achievement does not unlock, run around and blow up more flammable objects before 60 seconds elapses until it does.
Earning the "Car Jump" Achievement
Only attempt this Achievement during daytime hours, otherwise you'll only encouter police and cell cars that often stop. Daytime hours will bring out fast-moving civilian cars. Jump from a moving civilian car on top of a car going the same speed to get the Achievement. To make this task easier, grab a friend in Co-op and have a friend drive the first car.
Earning the "Co-Op Keepy-Up" Achievement
Trying to pass a vehicle around in open ground is a tough task, as the vehicle will often fly at different angles. In order to make things easier, find a tall building and try to bounce the car off the wall. This makes the vehicle's trajectory easier to predict. Pass the car around a couple of times and every player will get the Achievement.
Earning the "Mosh Pit" Achievement
To earn this Achievement, you must land 20 successful hand-to-hand attacks in a chain, but they don't have to be punches. Grabbing an object like a telephone pole is perfectly legal here, so grab a large object so that none of your strikes miss. WARNING: If you do opt to use a large object, attempt this Achievement when your agent is at a very low level, otherwise you risk clearing out the area of enemies before you're able to land 20 hits.
Earning the "Pin Cushion" Achievement
It's important to note that you do not have to pin 5 enemies to the car in one shot in order to unlock this Achievement. Find an open area with an abandoned car and shoot enemies one-at-a-time so that they're pinned to the car. If you run out of enemies to shoot, simply get in the car and drive to an area with more enemies. The pinned bodies will get dragged along with the car. Continue on until 5 enemies are pinned to the car and the Achievement is unlocked.
Earning the "Scarface" Achievement
The best time to earn this Achievement is at dusk, just before nightfall. Grab a minigun from a base you've already taken and walk towards a vent where a large number of Freaks have assembled. Stay at a safe distance and start shooting and back up as the Freaks begin running towards you. Don't worry about running out of ammo, as each minigun has 1,000 bullets. Mow down 20 Freaks and you'll unlock the Achievement.
Earning the "Chopper Stomper" Achievement
In order to perform a Ground Strike, you'll need to level your Strength to 5. Also, you'll need to be Agility level 5 in order to get the helicopter pad (or have a Co-op friend with a helicopter). Hop in the helicopter at night, where Freaks are plentiful. Jump out of the helicopter and hold the B button over a group of Freaks to perform a Ground Strike. You'll hit at least one Freak and you'll unlock the Achievement.
Earning the "25 Ways to Die" Achievement
You need to die in 25 different ways to get this Achievement. Here's a checklist: -Shot with a normal bullet -Shot with a harpoon -Shot in the head -Shot/blown up by a chopper weapon -Shot/blown up by a Mounted Turret -Blown up by a grenade/satchel charge -Blown up by a rocket -Blown up by a proximity mine -Blown up by an exploding object -Blown up by a Quacker bomb -Killed by a player ground strike -Killed by a player with a held object -Hit by a vehicle -Killed by active chopper blades -Killed in hand-to-hand combat -Killed by a thrown object -Falling from a great height and going SPLAT! -Killed while driving a car -Killed by a Reaper -Killed by a Pounder -Killed by an Agent Reaper -Killed by a Heavy Armored Cell -Killed by a Scrounger -Killed by any cell -Killed by any peacekeeper This all adds up to 25 unique deaths and you'll unlock the Achievement after the last one.
Earning the "Open Up A Can" Achievement
Find a flammable container anywhere in the city and wait for dusk to fall. Find a grate where Freaks will start spawning. Drop the container by the grate and get to a safe distance. Shoot the canister by a group of Freaks before they have a chance to spread out and you'll take at least five of them out. After the big boom, you'll unlock the Achievement.
Earning the "Yippee-Kai-Yay" Achievement
This is easiest in a Co-op session. Have one player at Driving level 4 call in an Agency SUV while the other player at Agility level 5 brings over a helicopter. Keep the helicopter at a low altitute while the first player jumps into the Agency SUV. Drive the Agency SUV towards the helicopter and jump towards it. Even if you hit the chopper blades (which will blow up BOTH the SUV and the helicopter), the SUV driver will still unlock the Achievement. Repeat the process for the second player and both players will have the Achievement.
Earning the "City Glider" Achievement
To earn this Achievement, you must Wingsuit glide through the airspace of all islands in Pacific City without touching down. In order to earn the Wingsuit, you must max your agility to level 5 by collecting about 300 green orbs. Fly as high as you can with a helicopter, jump out, and deploy the Wingsuit. Tilt down until your airstream turns red and tilt back up to keep yourself in flight (think Cape Mario from Super Mario World). Once you fly through the airspace of every island, the Achievement will unlock and the narrator will congratulate you on your feat.

This site should come with a "No Guys Allowed" sign. The action's all babe-on-babe as these horny honeys discover how tasty pussy can be. Fresh-faced, slim and built to fuck, they dive right into their lesbian fantasies, fingering their friends and fucking them with dildos. The site comes with over 200 vids and a collection of bonus sites so check it out.
These horny lesbians can barely wait for the cameras to start rolling, so they can get down to business in their gal pal's wet muff. These frisky coeds are just ripe enough to be picked for some hot Sapphic action. In the many videos they prove that only another chick knows how to work their sweet slit up to a frenzied climax. Come on in and check it out.
One girl is great, but two girls together is super great! Two pussies and two sets of tits all touching and playing together. How about we add another girl into the mix as some of these scenes do? Beautiful chicks kiss, caress, lick and fuck each other the way only they can. And if they need something hard and long they always have toys and/or strapons.
You'll find many threesomes of lesbians captured in HD footage filled with glamorous babes and more amateur-looking chicks. These pussy-loving girls fuck each other with all sorts of sex toys, finger-fuck their holes then eat each other out in a varied mix of hot girl-on-girl action. Downloads are limited each month though making this site hard to recommend.
It might not be as good as getting to enjoy lesbian action in real life, but watching chicks go at it in high-def is the next best thing. Here, you can see stunning women shed their clothes and get intimate with one another. The chicks kiss, bare their breasts, play with sex toys and take each other to orgasm and they do it in HD videos and high-res pics.
You have to pay quite a bit to access this website and you don't get all that much for your money. Yes, it does provide you with some sizzling lesbian scenes, but they're nonexclusive videos that aren't all that high in quality. The site looks like it's updating daily, but it isn't actually growing, as all it's really doing is rotating its existing material.
If you're looking for a mature porn site with a kinky twist, then this might be for you. Featuring Eastern European moms having fun with strapons, some scenes show a MILF discussing the pros and cons of various toys and soon a variety of rubber dicks are served up on a platter. There are bonus sites, but there isn't much main content and they aren't updating.
In a modest number of decent-quality scenes, you'll witness mature lesbian seductions unfold as older ladies dip tongues and fingers in younger pussy. Tired of dull husbands with limp cocks, yummy experienced mommies get wet with desire seeing a pretty neighbor girl with pert tits, perfect ass and all-around tight body. It's too bad updates ended long ago.
After all of the muff diving, fingering and hard pounding from mature ladies sporting big strapons, these teen babes will be skilled in the art of pleasuring any gal they just so happen to come across. Everything here features all-gal threesomes and although the quality of the videos is excellent, the amount available is low and they ain't updating either.
This decent-quality site is geared toward people who love seeing teen pussy pounded without a dude's dong ruining the mood. The lesbian strapon sex here is dedicated to girl-on-girl hookups with kissing and masturbation in addition to straponing. The issue is that this collection isn't big enough, nor growing, so even with bonuses, it doesn't merit a visit.
Hot starlets take turns searching out straight babes and converting them to some lesbian fucking. The gals all love to stroke on pink clits and lap at pussy, so much so that it's hard to believe they're completely straight. These two chicks are hot enough to turn any straight gal lesbo, but they haven't produced enough content to make a membership worth while
It's easy enough to do the math. One girl plus another girl equals some sexy lesbian fun. Add more luscious ladies to the equation the sum remains the same. Want proof? Just look at all the Sapphic action in the often high-res pics here filled with pussy and nipple licking, hot tub kissing and dildo play. Still, without any vids here, it's not worth joining.
These lovely lesbians might be called lucky, but it's those who get the chance to watch them in HD action that are the lucky ones. The hotties get naughty with one or more gal pals and you can see them kissing, licking breasts, eating pussy and playing with toys. The collection isn't overly large, but it's growing and those bonus sites are pretty enticing.

Further, I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, and next time I would probably use less water. Otherwise, a fantastic dish that I'd definitely make again!
I just made this recipe and it's fantastic! The flavour is amazing! I followed the recipe and used the juice of one lemon. It's easy and quick to make, not to mention healthy! I would definitely make it again!
Yum! Didn't follow the recipe exactly. Instead of pureeing everything I only pureed the beans and spinach (fresh). I sauteed the onions with garlic and mushrooms and added some white wine, then added the pureed mixture to the pan. I let it simmer for about five minutes. Added a dollop of yogurt to my dish before serving/eating. I'll make it again for sure.
A great healthy version to creamed spinach. I used a hand blender just a little bit to leave some consistency. Great the next day too and would make a nice soup base as well.
This recipe was fabulous! I did make it with fresh spinach, which really makes it so sweet. Some we ate straight, some we put on pasta, and if there had been any left, it could have been turned into a dip or soup, it was that tasty! But the bowl was even mopped up with bread, and every bit vanished.
I loved the original recipe as it appeared in Sass' "Short Cut Vegetarian" -- just spinach, stock powder, beans, and lemon juice. Totally amazing and healthy. My kids (3 and 7) even eat this.

Mill Creek Camping
For our final camping trip of the year we spent the weekend just over the hill from our house at our kids favorite swimming hole. For those of you not concerned about your cholesterol you should try cooking some store bought hasbrowns (I'm not even sure if these are real potatoes) deep fried in bacon grease.
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Pennsylvania. Here is a shot down the creek. The kids spent most of the day making dams and catching crayfish. The even built a small pool for their catch, called "crayfish pond"

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Fortunately, the Suns have taken care of business at home recently to pull their season out of the muck and into 9th place in the West. One final win on this homestand tonight against Houston can pull the Suns within 1/2-game of a playoff spot. Sounds rosy, right?
Unfortunately, the only thing rosy about the subsequent 15 games are the thorns.
Starting Tuesday in Miami, the Suns play 12 of their next 15 on the road with two of their home games against Western powers San Antonio and Los Angeles (Lakers). Ouch. If you look at current records and team strengths, the Suns would be favored to win only 4 of those 15 games.
After the jump, take a look at the Suns' upcoming opponents as well as the schedules of their immediate competition for a playoff spot (including pretty charts).
*All graphs courtesy of basketball-reference.com
Playing only the odds, the Suns could comfortably be expected to win just 4 of those 15 games (Cavaliers, Hornets, Kings and Jazz). But really, that's even a stretch since only 1 of those games (Hornets) is a home game. The other teams will likely be tanking though, enhancing the Suns' chances for a needed W.
But what of the other 11 games in that 15-game stretch? Which of those can the Suns hope to win? Maybe Orlando, the NBA's best impression of Jekyll and Hyde. Maybe Indiana, who just got smoked by an energized Knicks team twice in a row. Maybe the Timberwolves, sans Rubio. And maybe Houston, who the Suns seem to be able to beat fairly often.
So, if all goes really well, then the Suns might take 7 or 8 wins out of this 15-game stretch. But you can't put those 7 or 8 wins in your back pocket. Just thinking reasonably, the Suns will lose at least 2 of those "winnable" games. To offset those losses, the Suns would have to pull off a couple of upsets against better teams just to come out of this 15-game stretch with a .500 record.
After that, the season closes with 5 of 6 at home, with 4 of those against playoff teams jockeying for final positioning (Thunder, Clippers, Spurs, Nuggets).
A reasonably optimistic final record after the schedule gets a lot tougher? 33-33.
Now the big question: is that enough to make the playoffs?
Here are the current standings...
According to basketball-reference.com, the Suns project only to 31 wins (a 9-13 finish) and an 11% chance to the make the playoffs (behind Houston, Portland, Minnesota and Utah).
Let's take a look at the playoff projections:
As you can see, the Suns project to have the toughest finishing schedule of any team close to them in the standings. Sure the projected record for remaining games is similar (ranging 9 to 12 wins), but 3 games is a huge difference in the standings.
Will Portland AND Utah tank the rest of the season, dropping them out of the hunt? Probably.
Will Minnesota lose more than half their remaining games without Ricky Rubio? Maybe.
But will Houston lose most of their remaining games? That's the big "I dunno". They've been bad recently, despite Dragic "killing it" in the last few, but they picked up Marcus Camby at the deadline and remain, overall, more talented than the Suns.
That's a lot that has to go right for the Suns to make the playoffs, BSotS fans.
What say you? Will the Suns earn the right to play OKC in the first round?
Last night, the Phoenix Suns took care of business at home by beating the Detroit Pistons who had previously won five of their last seven games. The Suns led early but fell behind in the second quarter, and although the Suns kept it close, the Pistons held onto the lead all the way until the fourth quarter. But the determined Suns just kept pouring it on, hitting clutch shots and getting crucial stops at the end of the game to pull ahead and eventually win the game 109-101.
But this wasn't just any game. No, this game was a milestone of sorts that would prove to the fans, the NBA, and also the team itself that the Phoenix Suns were back. After a disappointing start to the season and plenty of struggles along the way, the Suns have seemed like a different team altogether since the All-Star break, winning eight of their ten games against some tough competition. This was the Suns' third game in just as many nights, and after winning their first two, the Suns were in position to go undefeated over the taxing three-game stretch.
By winning the third game in a row of a brutal back-to-back-to-back stretch, the Suns not only joined the prestigious ranks of the Miami Heat, OKC Thunder, and Chicago Bulls as the only teams to win all three of their consecutive games, they also brought their playoff hopes back to life by earning a record of 22-22 and reaching the .500 mark; an NBA barometer of sorts that separates the wheat from the chaff, or the contenders from the pretenders if you will.
The Suns are now in 9th place in the Western Conference standings, and only two games behind Denver for the 8th and final playoff seed. Even better, the Western Conference is so bunched together that the Suns are also only three games behind the L.A. Clippers for the fourth seed. What once seemed like an impossible long-shot now seems well within reach...The Suns are officially back in the playoff hunt.
The win last night was a total team effort with multiple contributions that helped make a difference. It seems like just yesterday that the only consistency the Suns could count on was from Steve Nash and Marcin Gortat. However, last night nearly every player that stepped on the court found a way to help the team win, and I believe that has been the biggest difference in the recent success of the Suns.
Here are some of the other reasons I believe the Suns were successful against not only the Pistons last night but since the All-Star break as a whole:
Keys To Victory:
As long as the Suns continue to play hard as a team and the individual players continue to work hard at improving their games, I see no reason why this team can't continue it's winning ways. I never would have thought the Suns would be in this position after such a rough start to the season, but they have fought very hard to prove that they can be a winning team who can compete with anyone when they are playing well together. Their 8-2 record since the All-Star break is among one of the best in the league, and the rest of the NBA is beginning to take notice. The Suns may not have the flashiest players, or an owner with the deepest pockets, but they do have a real team atmosphere they've built together headed by two ageless vets who also happen to be two of the finest, classiest ambassadors of the game that the league has ever known. I believe their influence, along with the overall attitude and climate of the organization, has done wonders for bringing these players together and helping each and every one of them truly buy into this team's philosophy and the belief that they can win.
