My Story, Part 8 In Conclusion: Final Reflections
It's been very hard work, dedication and a revamp of my life to get where I am, and I'm not done yet. My goal is to be 120 pounds with 22% body fat. This means I need 93.6 lbs of lean mass (muscle, bones, organs) and 26.4 lbs of fat.
Being obese was a huge hit on my self-esteem. I felt discriminated against. I believe most of it was subconscious, and a very minor amount was outright malicious. Either way, it sucks.
It's clear to me what they say about weight loss being a lifestyle change is true. Diets didn't work. Changing my life did. I have to be very serious and honest about what I am willing to do, and what I am willing to eat because I have to do it forever. I'm not drinking Slim Fasts to lose weight, because I can't stand the thought of drinking them everyday. I'm not giving up beer and wine. I drink a glass with dinner. I'm not giving up burgers and pizza. I have a single slice of pizza, or a single patty burger every once in a while.
This is moderation. However, when I first started, I had to get rid of the junk. I was not able to do moderation. I did not have the self control. I was addicted. Having it around was not helping me. It was hurting me. Slowly, over time, I have been able to incorporate more moderation, but while being very conscious about not letting it take over my life.
Even when I eat pizza or burgers, I'm more choosy about what I eat. Because the calories I consume have to be worthwhile, I only eat high quality pizza or burgers. I avoid Pizza Hut or McDonalds. I love wood fired neopolitan style pizza, which has a thinner flatbread crust and higher quality ingredients. I enjoy 1-2 slices. I make my own burgers at home with a food scale and high quality ground beef.
I don't starve myself. I eat 1200-1600 calories per day. I lose inches and weight.
I make meals at home, and I go for making high quality meals. Veggies don't have to be bland and boring. I go for 'healthy gourmet'. Brussel sprouts halved and sauted in a pan with a splash of olive oil, slice of lean ham, and chopped shallots. It's fantastic. It looks gourmet, tastes gourmet, and yet it doesn't break the calorie budget. I enjoy taking favorite recipes and finding ways to make them low calorie and fabulous. Eating healthy can taste good!
I used to be the typical girl that was afraid of lifting weights because I didn't want bulky muscles. Now I love strength training because I love what it does to my body. It makes me look lean and toned. And smaller.
For activities, exercise isn't just about the gym. It's about living life. I kayak, bike, hike, rollerblade, ski, dive, snorkel, or just plain walk. I do not enjoy running, I never really have, so I don't do it. I don't like the impact on my feet and knees. It is unlikely I will ever join a marathon.
If you don't like running either, then you don't have to. If there is nothing at all you like to do, I'm not sure what to tell you. You'll have a tough time. Find something you like to do. I started off by playing the game Dance, Dance Revolution. People scoffed at me - "That's not exercise". The heck it ain't. It improved my balance, coordination, and cardio fitness. How does that not count? Think outside the gym. When you were a kid, did you ride a bike because you needed to burn off your peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Or did you ride your bike because it was fun?
I do 30 minutes of gym time 3-4 times a week Monday-Friday. I do something fun and adventurous on the weekend. Hike a new trail. Walk around a park. Ski. Something that takes about 3-4 hours to do. I look forward to doing it all week. It's not a chore. It's not something I have to do to get my calorie burn in. I want to do it.
While originally I may have been driven to lose weight because I hated how I looked and how I was treated, now I am driven by performance. I absolutely love the activities that I have learned to do. I want to be better at doing them. I can go backpack-camping further and longer if I lose an extra 10 lbs. Backpacks with gear usually weigh about 30-40lbs. I don't need another 10lbs on top of that. My bowling ball weighs 10 lbs. I would not take my bowling ball camping with me!
If this is what it took for me to lose the weight, then this is what it takes for me to maintain it. If I stop eating this way and doing activities, I will gain weight.
I have a problem with portion distortion. Changing behaviors is extremely difficult. This is one that I have learned how to work with. I divide my plates into quarters. 1/4 meat of my choice, 1/4 starch of my choice, and the rest are veggies. This has worked very well for me.
We went to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica and I did not gain weight. How is this possible with endless buffets? I used my quarter portioning strategy. Believe me, I ate tons of delicious fatty food, just less of it. I wasn't deprived or eating like a bird. I ate a plate of salad with every meal. I sampled a couple of bites of desserts, but not huge plates. I did fun activity every day - kayaking, diving, biking, snorkeling or plain old beach walking.
I setup checkpoints to catch me slipping. I threw away my oversized clothes. When I fell into my old habits, getting squeezed in my clothes was a trigger to remind me I need to do something about it.
I resumed counting my food and fitness calories. I don't mind doing this. I love journaling. This is just another type of journal, and I'm happy to keep it a part of my life. If fast food starts showing up frequently, this is another checkpoint that says 'danger! danger!'
I love my life. I love living this way. Can I live this way forever? Yes. Can I guarantee it? There are no guarantees in life. I may slip again. If I do, I'll just have to pick up where I left off.
Each time I stalled in my progress, I needed something to propel me forward again. Once it was because of a broken life I needed to reboot. Another time, it was humiliation. The next, it was a warning sign that old habits were returning. There were plenty of stumbling blocks and opportunities to give up.
I'll leave you with one of my favorite motivational chinese proverbs:
"Fall down 7 times; stand up 8."
The future has yet to be written!
Special Note:
Thank you so much to everyone that has taken the time to read my stories. Your encouragement has inspired me to continue telling it. Thanks for letting me share! I've really enjoyed meeting new friends, and hope that we will continue to motivate and inspire each other in our individual journies for better health and happiness!
In writing my blog posts about my weight loss story, I don't think I mentioned in great detail what my eating disorder is.
Portion distortion.
If you put it in front of me, I will eat it. All of it. Like a starving alley cat, I will eat anything. I am not picky.
I grew up poor. My parents are both high school educated. They worked manual labor jobs. I remember one year when my dad was out of work, we were so poor, the only thing my parents could afford to give me to eat was a bowl of rice, soy sauce and a pat of butter.
My dad got a better job, but we still lived frugal. I was eating better nutrition than rice and soy sauce, but that memory never really left me.
I can't waste food. Starving children in Africa guilt and all.
So when I got a restaurant portion with 2-3 servings on it, I cleaned it off. Every morsel. No matter how big or small the plate.
My solution I learned is to cut everything on my plate in half. When I eat my cut portion, I stop and get a take out box. I eat the rest for lunch the next day.
Still, it is very, very hard for me to resist the impulse to eat it all. If the server is slow with the box, I may end up continuing to take bites of what's left. Once it's in the box, I'm safe.
When cooking at home, I learned to segment my plate into quarters. 1/4 meat of my choice (fish, beef, or chicken), 1/4 starch of my choice (potato, corn, rice, or bread), and the rest are veggies. That way, I can eat everything on my plate and everything is still properly proportioned.
When going to buffets, I do the same thing.
I clean off my plate and satisfy an inner yearning to eat everything put in front of me, but it's balanced properly.
I lost 30 pounds, found a new love of fitness and adventure, and a new love to share it with. My life was back together.
Old demons lie sleeping, though. They never really die or go away. Humans are creatures of habits, and each of us have our own rhythms.
My demon nearly sent me back to the past.
After we came back from our Jamaican vacation, we set into a different rhythm. Yet, a familiar tune.
Over the summer, we hiked Mount Si and he hurt his back. After climbing the mountain, his back muscles tightened up like a coiled string. He could barely walk for a week. After that, he became wary about going on long or strenuous hikes. Thus, we didn't go as often as we did previously.
Winter set into Seattle. I've tried many times, but when the Seattle winter rain comes in, I do not like walking or riding my bike. I've been told to get good rain gear. I tried, but I still don't like it.
We could have gone to the gym, but didn't.
The result: we became less active.
He started working a lot of overtime. He worked 60-80 hour weeks because his project was badly managed and behind. Disenchanted with my job, I came home angry and depressed often. I didn't feel like, or didn't have time, to cook. We ate late night happy hours at restaurants for dinner. We ate chicken wings, nachos, and copious amounts of margaritas. Ordering dinner plates, why eat half when I wanted to eat it all?
(Whoa. What happened here? Is this blog #7 or #1? Hello, d�j� vu.)
I stopped tracking food and fitness calories on Spark. I thought I was cured, and didn't need it.
The result: we gained weight.
Mine is a clever and stealthy demon. I didn't know it. It wasn't revealing itself on my scale.
My scale weight wasn't changing. I stepped on the scale and thought I was doing fine, because it wasn't moving. Still reading about 130-135, which was normal.
When I lost fat, the scale didn't move much, but my clothes became looser. When I gained the fat, this happened in reverse. My scale didn't move much, but my clothes became tighter.
The demon of atrophy and happy hour snacks slowly consumed muscle that made me looked toned and trimmed. It was replacing the muscle with fat, while keeping me the same weight.
This is why the scale is a terrible measure of fitness alone. It is a tool, but you have to look at it along with all the other evidence.
The evidence was clear: I wasn't exercising or eating right. I gained fat.
I ignored the tightening of my clothes. I ignored the increasing muffin-top.
Two paths were available to me. Return to the familiar path and know exactly where I would end up - 160lbs. Or take a different route and keep on truckin'.
We took a picture of a reunion with my outdoor group friends. I saw a strangely familiar sight of an unflattering thickening thighs from behind.
A memory stirred.
I drove home from work and my leg nearly fell asleep. My thighs were being compressed in my jeans.
A memory stirred.
I was in a clothing store and stopped at a pants rack. I picked up a size 10 pair of pants. I thought, "Maybe I should get this so I can be more comfortable. I've got to get back on my diet and to the gym. I'll start this weekend."
I snapped wide awake out of a familiar nightmare. I've heard this before. A familiar promise of demons I thought had been laid to rest.
I donated my size 14, 12, and 10 clothes with the intention that I would never, ever be that overweight again.
I looked at the size 10 jeans and a flood of memories came back. A relationship that drifted and faded into unhappiness. Out of control spending. Heartbreak. Rejection. Tears. Despair. Loneliness.
What would it cost me? Would I trade an experience of whale song in Maui? Confidence to learn to scuba dive? Learning to soar down a mountain on a pair of skis? A new life that I loved?
A pair of size 10 jeans once was a symptom that took me down a path of out of control unhappiness. It could happen again.
I put them back on the rack. There was another way.
I got home and said, "Let's go for a walk".
We walked. We went to the gym regularly. I suggested he get a personal trainer to help him with his weak back.
Turned out his back problems weren't due to a weak back at all. It was due to weak core muscles. All of the muscles in our body are designed to work as a system. If one group of muscles is stronger than another, it can cause all kinds of problems.
Typical for men, he worked only on his arms and legs during strength training. He didn't do 'girly' exercises like situps. Situps strengthen your core muscle group, probably the most important system in your body. You can't stand up straight without your core muscles. You can't balance on one leg. If your back muscles carry the work of weak core muscles, you end up with overstrained back muscles. His personal trainer said he had the worst balance of anyone he had ever trained.
After a number of sessions with the PT strengthening his core, he got out of bed and said he felt a "twang" in his back like someone plucked a guitar string. It hurt like hell. Then he felt fine. He hasn't had a single back problem since. We don't really know what it was, but we figured it was tendons that got stuck together like a rubber band, then finally pulled apart from all the stretching. OUCH.
I resumed counting calories and fitness minutes. It's clear this is something I have to do, or else my demons reawaken. I'm ok with this. I bought a GoWear Fit to help me analyze my activities during the day better. I resumed Martha Stewart Sundays, chopping and prepping fruit and veg for the week. I control my portions. I drink plain coffee, and like it that way.
My scale weight isn't moving much, but my clothes are fitting better.
To Be Continued, In Conclusion: Final Reflections
If you've been following my tale from the beginning, you know that when I first had a serious weight problem, I was obese at 160lbs on my 5'0" frame. This was brought on by bad eating habits mostly due to eating at restaurants and supersized fast food. When my boyfriend and I split, I was left with the baggage of 160lbs and a lot of debt.
I dropped to 130lbs through a lot of emotional and physical ups and downs. I changed my eating habits and adopted a better lifestyle. I lost the weight and paid off the debt. The key is, I wanted to live this way. I wanted to eat fresh vegetables and fruit. I wanted to be active and explore the world. I wanted to eat delicious meals and my favorite foods, just less of it. I wanted to do this forever. This wasn't a diet, this was changing my entire life.
The more active I became, the more I wanted to do. Living in the gorgeous northwest, there were so many things available for me to try from sea to land to sky.
I took kayaking lessons. I went on a wonderful kayaking day trip adventure where I explored wetlands and inlets in the Puget Sound. I saw a pair of bald eagles, the very first with my own eyes. I saw a pair of young bald eagles playing in the sky. I saw more varieties of birds than I could count. I saw a pair of seals playing in the water, watching us in our kayaks curiously. I felt more free and alive than I had ever been in my life.
I traveled to Maui on a kayaking/snorkeling trip. There is a picture in my profile. It's probably my favorite kayaking/snorkel trip to date. I went in January, and a humpback whale pod was in for the winter. A giant mother whale and her baby swam around our kayaks. I saw their tail flip up and splash in the water, just like you see in nature videos! They swam circles around us. I got the feeling they were 'human watching' as much as we were 'whale watching'! When we got out of our kayaks to snorkel, I dunked my head underwater, and I could hear their whale song. It was so LOUD. I wondered if they were talking about us. "What are those?! What are they doing, mom?"
I saw a giant manta ray with about a 6 foot wing span 'fly' right under me while we were snorkeling. So gorgeous and graceful. I felt like I was living a nature video. Would the old me have dared to try this?
While I was having a great time exploring and adventuring with my new found fitness, I was lonely. I wished I had someone to share the adventure with.
I didn't know how to meet the kind of guys I wanted to date. The bars were not doing it for me. I wanted something substantial, not superficial.
I got over another fear I had: online match making. I joined Match.com.
Just like the gym, it wasn't the horrid experience that I thought it was going to be. It doesn't have to be that way. I found I had a lot of control over who I wanted to meet, and how we did so. I only met a guy for a first meeting at a very neutral spot, and only for a short, casual encounter. A coffee shop on a Saturday morning, or for a happy hour beer. We could chat, and then setup another more private date for dinner if we clicked. If not, then we only spent an hour of our time and moved on, no pressure. I only met someone at a neutral, public location that I never frequent in case of weirdos. If we didn't click, then they would be unlikely to find me again.
I liked it better than 'traditional' dating, in some ways. I was able to screen out guys that didn't interest me right away. It was really important for me to find someone interested in kayaking, camping, traveling, hiking, biking, and more. These were things that had become important to me, and the key was I wanted to share this with someone. They didn't have to be a super athlete - I would find that too intimidating. Just an average guy looking for some outdoor fun. So, I weeded anyone out who sounded like a couch potato. I did not want to go back that way. I wanted someone who ate healthy, but not too much of a health nut that they can't have a beer and a burger every once in a while.
At 160lbs, I was invisible to men. At 140lbs, I was a nice girl, but not dating material. At 130lbs, I was getting my groove back. I started catching extra long stares in the corner of my eye, double takes, goofy grins, and responsiveness to flirting. I set up a lot of Match dates, and it was an amazing ego boost. A ton of the dates didn't work out, but the feeling of getting ready for a date and meeting people was wonderful. I tried a lot of new restaurants (dutch only, I'm a modern gal), and got to see more of Seattle.
Eventually, I found the guy that 'clicked'. He became the guy that I was spending more time writing to, and calling. We spent more and more time together. Soon, I didn't spend much time looking on Match for new contacts, or setting up new dates. I called him first to see if he was busy for the weekend.
I joined a hiking/camping/general outdoor club. They were going camping on Mt Rainer for a weekend. I was really excited about this, I'd never really been camping before! I invited my new guy to come with me. He accepted.
We went shopping at REI for camping gear. We both didn't have any. We bought the same, matching single person tents. No, we weren't going to share a tent - this isn't that kind of story!
We went to Mowich Lake on Mt Rainier. The first day, the group went hiking and we stopped at a gorgeous, idyllic lake for lunch. In the evening, we barbecued chicken, burgers, and Korean kalbi. We looked at the stars, and I taught my special friend a few constellations that I knew. I could feel myself growing quite fond of him, a little extra twitter in my heart. At some point in the night as I was alone, I saw a shooting star. I made a wish. I wished for a future with this guy and I. This was the summer of 2006.
I got my wish. We stopped dating others. We moved in together. We continued to go hiking and camping. We biked and kayaked. We went to Jamaica and I learned to scuba dive. I earned my open water certification in 2007. I learned to ski with him. I grew up in Colorado, but never had the nerve to ski until I moved to Washington! For you northwesterners, I learned to ski at Snoqualmie.
It was everything I wanted. Who's afraid of turning 30? My 30s have been the best years of my life! If I had known what I was capable of, I wonder what I would have done in my 20s. I'm reminded of the George Bernard Shaw quote: "Youth is wasted on the young."
Everything was going great.
To Be Continued, My Story, Part 7 History Threatens to Repeat Itself
I got rid of my size 14-12 clothes after buying new clothes because I was determined never to rebound back. If clothes were a little uncomfortable, I hoped that would be a trigger to remind me it was time to do something about it. I did not want return of the slow creep.
Getting rid of the junk food was supposed to deter me from mindless snacking. It worked, for the most part. I made it less convenient for me to do so. There were times immediately after throwing everything out that I had urges and cravings. I was almost desperate to have a sugary candy bar. It was no longer immediately accessible. I couldn't go to my pantry and have a chocolate bar, then decide it tasted so good I wanted more.
There were times when I absolutely had to have a candy bar. Had to. I was going to go crazy without one. Because it wasn't in the house, I had to leave my apartment and walk to the convenience store down the road to get one. At least I had to walk! I merrily ate my candy bar, satisfied. My nature to gravitate towards laziness worked in my favor in this instance. Sometimes, I got a desperate craving for a candy bar, and be too lazy to get up and walk to the convenience store. Each time I did this, my desperate craving to have a candy bar eventually faded. I went less and less.
I read an article about how to become an early riser. It said to set your clock to the time you want to get up, then get up at that time every day. Do it for 30 days straight, even weekends, and it will become habit. Your body becomes accustomed to it, and you just naturally wake up at that time, ready to start your day. I wondered if this would work with eating habits as well.
Eating junk food had become a habit, something I had learned. I was accustomed to it. I expected food to taste rich, sweet or fatty. I wasn't used to the taste of vegetables and fruit, which weren't sweet enough to my empty calorie palate.
I adopted a rule - no calories from drinks. This meant juice and soda. Only water, tea or plain coffee.
I hated plain coffee, but I wanted to drink my coffee plain to follow my no drink calorie rule. I bought premium coffee from the store and made it at home. Even then, it took getting used to. The first time I took a sip, I almost gagged. I wanted to add sugar and milk. I stuck with it. If I wanted coffee, I ordered it plain. After a while (30 days?), it worked. I was accustomed to the taste of unsweetened coffee. I tried a sweetened drink and almost gagged - it was *too* sweet.
Every once in a while I get an urge to get a high calorie latte. What stops me? I know how many calories are in it. I know how long it takes on the elliptical to burn it off. I know how long it took me to lose this weight. That's usually enough for me to keep ordering plain coffee.
This is why losing the weight gradually has kept it off. It was difficult with a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs for me to get here, and I'm not finished yet. Blood, sweat, and an ocean full of tears. If it had been easy or quick, I wouldn't have learned anything. For me, it's not worth the calories. I just really want the caffeine from coffee anyway. Rarely, I do get a short (small) mocha.
I readjusted my palate for salads. I wanted to eat salad with no salad dressing. Salad dressing was the enemy. This was a hard habit to break. I had to, and still do, need some sort of flavoring on salad. I found a squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of olive oil, pepper, and fresh basil mixed in tasted delicious to me with no added calories. Balsamic vinegar also works well. This still took me some time to get used to, but it's a new habit now. Salad with heavy dressing tastes too rich.
Eating more fruits and veggies is easy in Washington. Outside of California, it has a widest variety of farmers markets and fresh locally grown fruits and veggies on the west coast. Every weekend in the summers I would go to the farmer's markets and get season fresh veggies and fruit. One thing I noticed about farm fresh produce: they taste sweeter and 'brighter' than supermarket produce. The zucchini was so fresh, it tasted good raw. It was easy for me to adjust to making steamed vegetables with no added butter. They tasted good without it. Same thing with fruits. I was shocked the first time I bit into a plum and so much sweet water ran out of it. I was used to eating supermarket plums that were dry and bitter because they were picked under ripe. Eating fruit that was just picked made it so much easier to incorporate into my diet. I left fruit bowls where my cookies used to be, and snacked on the fruit when I got hungry. It's a habit that I still keep today.
I learned to cook healthy, quick, delicious meals watching the Food Network on cable. I worked a full time job in the tech industry, which has funky hours and a lot of overtime. Typically, I said that I didn't "have time" to cook and make healthy meals. I decided that I was going to make time. I had time to play computer games and watch tv, surely I could make dinner. My favorite shows on the Food Network were "30 Minute Meals" by Rachael Ray, "Good Eats" by Alton Brown, "Emeril Live", and "Calorie Commando". "30 Minute Meals" is the one that absolutely changed my life, though. It was perfect. I learned how to prepare a quick meal from prep time to cook time by emulating Rachael.
All those farmer's markets veggies I would buy and prep on the weekend. I called Sunday my "Martha Stewart Sunday". I chopped up onions and bell peppers and put them in a container in the fridge. When I came home during the week, all I had to do is throw the onions and peppers in a pan to saute, then add whatever ingredients I wanted for a meal.
Using my food scale, I measured appropriate portions of steak and starch, and ate as many veggies as I wanted until I was full. I'm so used to seeing a 3-4 portion of steak now, that anything bigger looks too big. When I get a 12 oz steak, I can't believe I used to eat all of that on my own!
In the process of doing this, I saved a ton of money, which also helped me with my debt problem. Steak is expensive. I bought a 1 pound steak and cut it into 4 pieces. I had 4 nights of steak for essentially 1/4 the price.
I'm eating more northwest fresh salmon these days than steak.
I finally got the nerve to join the gym. You know what? It wasn't this crazy pseudo-athlete place I thought it was going to be. True, there are some 'pickup joint' gyms where people are there to show off their hot bodies - avoid those. I joined the YMCA. There were no pseudo-athletes or pseudo-supermodels; only regular people of all shapes, fitness levels, and ages there to get healthy. No one judging me or anyone else.
There were women aged 60-80 who were there every morning for a water aerobics class. They looked strong and healthy. Very inspirational.
Oh, and I found SparkPeople! I quit e-diets and joined Spark. It's free! The message boards are very lively and informative. The support from friends is uplifting and keeps my spirits high. The articles are extremely high quality. The food and fitness calories are very well developed and extensive. I'm still surprised when I search for food and dishes that I'm certain aren't going to be there, and there they are!
I dropped to about 130 pounds, and paid off my debt completely. Old boyfriend and bad lifestyle baggage officially gone! I donated the size 10 clothes and bought brand new size 8s. Woo!

Determining enemy locations
When you have a difficult time seeing where your enemies are shooting at you from, send Team Bravo directly in front of you and look which way they are shooting. You will probably lose many men because of their bad aim, but can always restart the level after you know where they are located to easily take them down the second time.

New York Doll

Thursday, October 16, 2014, the Pennsylvania senate unanimously passed House Bill 1796 after removing a problematic amendment having nothing to do with housing. The legislature sent the bill to the Governor for approval. Advocates from across the Commonwealth urged the senate to stand up for victims of domestic violence and pass this important housing protection.
A victim of a crime should never be punished for seeking help from those who are charged to serve and protect. In response to your advocacy, your senators showed that they agree! Please click here to thank your senator for supporting victims of domestic violence by voting "YES" to House Bill 1796. Please also give your senator a call and thank them for their support. You can find your senator's number by clicking here and you can access the roll call for the final vote here.
House Bill 1796, sponsored by Representative Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery), prohibits local nuisance ordinances from penalizing tenants for calling police to respond to domestic violence and other emergencies. Victims should not be forced to make the impossible choice between stable housing and police protection. The case of Briggs v Borough of Norristown illustrates the harsh options with which victims are faced. Ms. Briggs, the plaintiff in the case, was repeatedly attacked by her abuser, but each time refrained from calling the police because she feared that calling for help would result in her eviction due to a nuisance ordinance. Ms. Briggs' fears came true after a particularly brutal attack in which her ex-boyfriend slashed her throat with broken glass. After the attack, a neighbor called for emergency assistance. Ms. Briggs was airlifted to the hospital, and shortly thereafter the city forced her landlord to institute eviction proceedings. With the passage of House Bill 1796, such policies will be eliminated.

Safe and Affordable Housing
House Bill 1796 – Representative Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery)
PCADV Position: Support PN 2870, Oppose PN 3107
House Bill 1796, sponsored by Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery), would prohibit local nuisance ordinances from penalizing tenants for calling police to respond to domestic violence and other emergencies. On March 11, 2014, HB 1796 was amended in the Senate Local Government Committee with language that preempts local governments from requiring employers to offer paid or unpaid leave, including to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Leave from employment is often critical to a victim's survival in both the short- and long-term. The bill is before the full Senate where PCADV is advocating to remove the employment leave language. Read PCADV's position
House Bill 1218 – Representative Stanley Saylor (R-York)
PCADV Position: Support
In May of 2014, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed House Bill 1218 sponsored by Rep. Stan Saylor (R-York) after adopting an amendment that outlines tenants' rights in cases of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. PCADV urged the House to make safety for victims of domestic violence and their children a top priority by allowing for early lease termination when they are fleeing an abuser.
HB 1218 balances the needs of victims and landlords by allowing victims to avoid the costs of terminating a lease as long as they give their landlord 30-days' written notice. The bill also requires a landlord to change the locks on the home at the request of a tenant who is a victim. The bill now waits for consideration in the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee. Read PCADV's letter of support
House Bill 1714 – Representative Scott Petri (R-Bucks)
PCADV Position: Oppose
Many victims of domestic violence must flee their home without warning--to shelters, family members or some for hospitalization as a result of their abuse--in order to seek safety. House Bill 1714 sponsored by Rep. Scott Petri (R-Bucks) removes the protection a formal eviction requirement provides for tenants by allowing a landlord to dispose of a tenant's property without court intervention, oversight or supervision. Through PCADV's advocacy an amendment was adopted in House Urban Affairs Committee to extend the time a victim with a PFA has to retrieve her or his belongings. However, this amendment is inadequate to address the problem the overall bill creates by granting the landlord unbalanced authority to dispose of a tenant's property without due process. HB 1714 passed the House of Representatives and the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee. The bill now stands for consideration by the full Senate. Read PCADV's letter of opposition
Senate Bill 1380 – Senator Elder Vogel, Jr. (R-Beaver)
PCADV Position: Support
PCADV supports the "Fund the Fund Campaign" charged with the task of securing a sustainable funding source for the Pennsylvania State Housing Trust Fund. Senate Bill 1380, sponsored by Sen. Elder Vogel (R-Beaver) and Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-Philadelphia), would expand the Pennsylvania Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Act (PHARE) to benefit the entire Commonwealth. SB 1380 would dedicate up to $25 million in future proceeds from the Realty Transfer Tax. The bill passed the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee and awaits consideration by the full Senate.
Firearms and Background Checks
House Bill 1243 – Representative Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery)
PCADV Position: Support
House Bill 1010 – Representative Steven Santarsiero (D-Bucks)
PCADV Position: Support
House Bill 1243 sponsored by Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery) would require Pennsylvania to submit mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. PCADV supports an amendment to HB 1243 that would take language from House Bill 1010 sponsored by Rep. Steve Santarsiero that would require a background check for all firearms, including rifles, shot guns and other long guns. Although the underlying bill was expected to receive a vote on this amendment several times in the spring, the House of Representatives has stalled on action. HB 1243 now awaits full consideration by the House of Representatives where PCADV is advocating for Amendment A06142 to be adopted and create universal background checks for purchasing firearms in Pennsylvania. Read PCADV's letter of support to amend HB 1243
Utilities and Telecommunications
House Bill 1608 – Representative Warren Kampf (R-Chester)
PCADV Position: Oppose
Victims of domestic violence have a critical need for invariable access to affordable and reliable telephone communication service that is capable of connecting the victim to emergency 911 services, crisis and intervention services, and supportive friends and/or family. For a victim in danger, the inability to place an emergency call due to faulty or deficient technology places the victim and their children at increased risk for serious injury or even death. For these reasons, PCADV testified against House Bill 1608, sponsored by Rep. Warren Kampf (R-Chester) that would deregulate telecommunication services in Pennsylvania. PCADV requested several amendments to the bill that would strengthen protections for low-income citizens. The bill is currently in House Consumer Affairs Committee. Read PCADV's testimony before the House Urban Affairs Committee
House Bill 939 – Representative Robert Godshall (R-Montgomery)
PCADV Position: Amend
The domestic violence exemption in Chapter 14 (66 Pa. C.S. § 1417) entitles victims with a Protection From Abuse Order to special billing and termination procedures, including: no liability for debts and arrearages accrued by the abuser; flexibility to make up-front payment of arrearages and/or security deposits; additional payment agreements and/or longer repayment period for arrearages; and an increased notice prior to termination. PCADV seeks to amend House Bill 939, sponsored by Rep. Bob Godshall (R-Montgomery) to expand these alternative billing and termination procedures to be accessible to victims of domestic violence that have a court order—such as a custody order or criminal protective order—a medical report, or police report providing evidence of domestic violence against the applicant. The bill passed the House of Representatives and waits for consideration by the Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee. Read PCADV's position
Domestic Violence Fatalities
Senate Bill 850 – Senator Stewart Greenleaf (R-Montgomery)
PCADV Position: Amend
House Bill 30 – Representative Joseph Petrarca (D-Westmoreland)
PCADV Position: Amend
Domestic homicide is a grim reality of perpetuated domestic violence. Last year in Pennsylvania, there were 158 domestic violence fatalities; 107 of these deaths were victims, and 51 of these deaths were perpetrators. These victims were men and women, elderly and children, and spanned the socio-economic spectrum. PCADV seeks to amend Senate Bill 850, sponsored by Sen. Stewart Greenleaf (R-Montgomery), and the House companion bill sponsored by Rep. Joseph Petrarca (D-Westmoreland) that would create additional rights and privileges for organ procurement organizations. It is important to minimize the likelihood of trauma to surviving children and other family members as a result of the organ procurement process and procedure. PCADV's concerns with SB 850 and HB 30 include the need to establish protections to: 1) help ensure domestic abusers are not able to consent to have a victim's body donated, 2) safeguard meaningful informed consent and confidentiality, and 3) preserve a potential crime scene for evidence collection. It is critical that the amended law balances the rights of crime victims with any additional support to organ procurement organizations. Read PCADV's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Family Law
PCADV's Goals – Funding for Victims
At the federal level, PCADV's primary legislative goals are to:
- Fully fund the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA)
- Protect and increase the cap on the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA)

Bold statements.
Album Rating: 2.5album is pretty boring.
Album Rating: 4.0Excellent Review! just hope to yourself that you won't get any negs
Album Rating: 4.0battery, master of puppets and damage inc: the weakest tracks on the album
Master of Puppets is fantastic.
Album Rating: 4.0TEN reviews for this fucking record. Come on, people.
Album Rating: 4.0ZERO reviews that gave this fucking record a 3 before. Come on, people.
Album Rating: 4.0So, to recap:
Album cannot be surpased (though it's a 3 o_O), it's Metallica, good songs, bad songs, the end. Right?
The word "hyperbole" comes to mind after reading the review, it could've used a lot of condensing. Other than that, I agree with your rating, but am very confused with the justifications. It reads more like a 4 at the least.
Album Rating: 5.0Very good review considering this is your first, but it's way too long. I of course disagree, I think almost everything about this album screams classic. I'm surprised you don't like Master of Puppets or Battery that much, but judging by your criticisms of their speed and "sluggishness" I can see why. I don't see how you enjoy Disposable Heroes and not those songs though...
But Atavan! It's so fucking brutal! Playing the title track on guitar is soooo METALZ!!!!
Album Rating: 4.0TEN reviews for this fucking record. Come on, people.
yeah, but divide 2312 by 10... 231.2 ratings per review
Album Rating: 4.0Oh wow a different rating, how edgy.
metallica invented thrash didnt you know
Album Rating: 4.0Oh wow a different rating, how edgy.
yah, there is 10 ratings appliable to a musical record, and yet there is 10 reviews. Just enough reviews for every rating
I don't think it matters how many damn reviews there are, different perspectives and what not. If it's well written then who cares?
Album Rating: 4.0I don't think it matters how many damn reviews there are, different perspectives and what not. If it's well written then who cares?
another point taken. If this review was written a couple of years ago it wouldn't be getting the response it is getting
Album Rating: 4.0That's the problem - this review is unnecessary. It's not even well written, it's a jumbled mess.
Battery is awesome wtf reviewer
those triple quotation marks were totally necessary

8 Money Beliefs Holding You Back
8 Money Beliefs Holding You Back
"I'll always be in debt." "
I don't deserve to earn more."
"My family is bad with money, so I am too."
The moment you hear the inner voice in your head repeating a negative money mantra, it's important to nip it in the bud. Not to get all Freudian, but the way you see yourself can play a big role in how you behave, especially when it comes to making decisions about your money.
Below, we examine nine money beliefs and why they can be harmful. Have you ever caught yourself thinking one of these? Well, many of us—if we're honest—have. Which is why we invited both a financial expert and a psychologist to weigh in on what underlies them, and how you can get to a happier money place.

Noctua NH-U12S and NH-U14S review -
Product Installation
Once we seat the cooler in position you need to align it with the two screw threads. With the help of the supplied screwdriver we can secure the screws, just align the fan blades a little and you can secure the cooler real fast. At the front-side, you need to pop off the fan for this, but it is easily reinstalled.
Once seated you can now connect the two fan power cable to either your motherboard CPU FAN headers or a FAN controller. So yeah, once the motherboard is out, 10 minutes work maximum, we positioned the cooler and are ready for the first test run. It is totally up to you how you want to install the cooler, blowing air from or to the PCI card slots, or turn it 90 degrees facing the rear fan exit of the chassis.
We deliberately installed it this way so that hot air will exit on the top of a chassis. We also did this to show that the high-profile memory DIMMS are not being blocked by the cooler radiator fins. So yes that's all folks. The NH-U14S looks a little bulky, somewhat big and always the brown/beige colors are the Noctua trademark. Like the looks or not, these are amongst the best coolers available in the globe. But let me demonstrate that and put these coolers through our test suite.
We review the all new Noctua NH-D15 dual-fan cooler. The new flagship product from Noctua is huge in both size and performance. The successor for the NH-D14 premium CPU cooler has a six heatpipe dual...
Noctua NH-U12S and NH-U14S review
We test and review the Noctua NH-U12S and NH-U14S CPU coolers. Both coolers have recently been introduced into the channel with kicks performance and versus some really nice airflow OWM controlled fans that are drop-dead silent. Hey, it's Noctua .. so you know it's good, let's check out the review shall we ?
Noctua NH-C14 CPU cooler review
In the long line of Noctua CPU coolers they introduced another CPU cooler, tagged with the name NH-C14, the heatpipes bent in a C shape and armed with not one, but two Noctua NF-P14 FLX 140mm fans this product is bound to keep any CPU released to date nicely cooled and chilled.
Noctua NH-D14 review
It is called the Noctua NH-D14 premium cooler -- but as I like to call it ... the Big Ben. Noctua had to go back to the drawing board and came up with the NH-D14 premium CPU cooler. It is a six heatpipe dual radiator design to improve both cooling performance and noise levels. Obviously what catches the eyes is that dual radiator uneven design with a 140mm fan sitting smack down in the middle of the cooler.

What are you doing?
I have been doing 2 high intensity workouts on my trainer per week, I'm up to 2.25 hours. It is a very simple workout, starts off with spin ups based on cadence per time (50-120 rpm for 1 min each 5rpm interval; 70-150rpm with 5rpm per 15 sec), one leg drills (low gear, high cadence and high gear, low cadence)--LOTS of one leg drills, and then standing at a high gear/low cadence until I puke, with surges adding to the cadence in case I haven't puked yet.
I haven't actually puked yet, but I get very close. I still have a hard time standing 30 min straight, but I can definitely stand for a solid 10 min before I have to sit for a min.
Tomorrow I get to go for a little bike ride OUTSIDE! In the woods! Because all of the snow is gone!!! I plan to do my mtb drills and a nice light ride on my singlespeed.
Yesterday I went on a really strenuous, steep hike for 5 hours, it was great except the way down was very slippery and I didn't have snowshoes on.. it was a mix of slick soil and slush and icy rock!
I have also been xc skiing with my new backcountry skis, haven't done much downhill yet, but I have a ton of lift tickets burning a hole in my pocket.
So, what is everyone else doing for training? Any races planned? I'm super excited because I am going to be racing Singlespeedapalooza in April. My first race is April 21 and I feel very fit already!
I hope everyone is too busy on their trainers to post up!
I just found out that I have been volunteered to join my new teammates on a biking adventure. We are going to ride 90 miles through the Adirondacks to Lake Placid, stay overnight, then ride back the next day. In March. All I can say is... *brrr*. This is going to be an experience.
Hey there,
I only check into this board about once a month.
Still too cold (for me) in New England to bike. More like the roads are still too sucky. Been on the Cybex Arc trainer nearly day at lunch. I should be in good shape for when the weather gets better.
It is not too cold to bike. I went biking for an hour on one of the coldest days (high of 8F during my ride) so far! I was thinking about biking outdoors today, but the nasty weather and an oncoming cold/sinus thing kept me indoors. Instead, I did a 45 minute slow easy warm up and a 1 hour Sufferfest video. Yesterday was pretty cool, I've been doing these high intensity workouts and they include 30 min standing/climbing sections with surges and I was able to do the most amount of standing and the greatest number of surges. I guess I improve every workout, but sometimes I have a bad workout and I can't stand for as long. Tomorrow night is spin class 1 hour easy and Friday is another HIT workout, my long one. Saturday is a rest day and Sunday I hope to go mountain biking.
Just letting you know that your not alone. There are other cyclists out there.
Right now I am just working on my aerobase. I am doing 1.5 hr rides 4Xweek keeping my hr well below LT. I do 80 min Spinnervals Aerobase Builder once per week.
Next week I am going to start a once-per-week intensity ride with Spinnervals.
I have a 300K ride coming up in May, so I better get hot!
Too much snow and ice to ride outside!
holy crap that is a lot of k!
I did a 200K last year and it took me about 9.5 hrs including rest stops. In order to get credit for finishing, I had to finish under 13 hours. The 300k has to be completed in less than 20 hours. I am not sure my butt can handle more than 15 hours, though.
Each pound I lose makes a HUGE difference. There is no way I could keep up with someone speedy like you!
I'm not that fast :P I can't imagine sitting on my bike for more than say 7 hours. I think my back would break or I'd end up at the next bar drinking a cold beer!
I am doing my big ride this weekend. I have not been consistently below 50 g carbs over the last 2 weeks, I have had accidents like 1 or 2 meals per week. I don't want to bonk . I have a full shipment from my new sponsor, gu, that I haven't touched, it contains lots of gels, electrolytes, and recovery shake mixes. I plan to snack on Atkins bars, cheese sticks, and nuts, but to bring some gu just in case. I plan to eat eggs with cheese and peppers and turkey sausage for breakfast. What do u think?

HTC to stop locking smartphone bootloader code ? reghardware
So okay, this may not seem like a big deal immediately, but basically what we're seeing here is the manufacturer of a lot of the biggest selling android handsets listening to community requests and giving people an easy way to install a custom ROM, etc
As Sony Ericcson are also releasing bootloader unlocks for their newer models, we may be looking at a shift in manufacturers perspective - and maybe modders/rooters won't be seen in such an unfavourable light
Me likey!

At last! Hardware vendors accepting that once we've paid up it's our hardware to install what we want to on!
So how long before I get my 0.93 desire bootloader unlocked then?
How To: Root the HTC Desire (Unrevoked Method) (Updated 1.18.11) | TheUnlockr
As I am under a Vodafone warranty at the moment I am reluctant to go about it in an unofficial way.
What a difference just over a week makes, must be something to do with being at home and bored during half term. Have rooted my HTC Desire and now running Cool-Aces-V6. I tried LeeDroid and NeoPhyte but they got stuck at the HTC loading screen. If anybody can tell my why they didnt work I would like to know.
also, I strongly suggest you give CyanogenMOD and Oxygen a go - Cyanogen for bells and whistles, Oxygen for a very lean system
I did do a system wipe so that's not the answer. Cyanogen was the first ROM I tried but I like too many of the Sense features.
Can someone run through how to revert back to a stock ROM? In case I need to send the phone off for a repair.
I believe just installing your stock branded ROM will un-root the device, since the stock ROMs aren't rooted. Reversing any modifications to your HBOOT or recovery might not be quite so straightforward, however, but I'm sure I've seen copious numbers of guides out there, just search XDA-developers.
Is this the same as the Nexus One? If I hold down the trackball while booting it asks 'Select Bootloader'
Never tried holding the trackball down when turning the phone on, but you can access bootloader by holding Vol-Down whilst pressing the power button, from there you can get access to the recovery module, which is the section you would normally use to install new Roms. Also, on Oxygen (don't know what Stock / other Roms do) you get the option to Reboot into Recovery, Bootloader or back in normally.
On my phone, for instance, I've now replaced my HBOOT (bootloader) with the Alpharev S-OFF one, the recovery module with Clockwork, and the main system Rom with Oxygen. Should I need to blast the phone back to stock I'd have to do some research on how to revert out some of the less obvious tweaks, but I'd hazard a guess that no-one at the phone company would even know, or bother, to check these things.
How easy is the Alpharev S-OFF patch?
I want to do this to my HTC Desire as I like the look of the insertcoin rom, but im not sure if I need to have stock HTC firmware on there first, or where to get it from if I do.

Helping hand
FARMINGDALE, NY – The rise of England's Paul Casey to No. 3 in the World Rankings hasn't come without a helping hand or two. During a press conference earlier today, Casey spoke candidly about his special relationship with his longtime instructor, Peter Kostis.
"He's like my second dad or third dad I guess...And (Kostis) has often said I'm kind of like his third son, sort of the annoying one who doesn't return phone call.
"I feel very much a part of his family and I'm very lucky for that…Because of that, I think he can often say things to me that I don't want to hear, you know, that are the truth. Sometimes they're not nice. But because of that he's made me into a better player and a better person."

God the Creator
Post: #2
God the Creator
Dear Mark,
I suspect that the short answer is that you can't convince yourself, and that no one can convince you.
Is it really more improbable that everything should just have 'happened' as it did, than that there is a Creator towards whom we are drawn by His love for us?
No one can 'prove' that creation was just a series of uncaused accidents; although it might have been. Equally, no one can 'prove' God did it; although no one can 'prove' that He did not.
Faith is what it is because we have not seen clearly. But we have received His Incarnate Word, and if we believe what He tells and shows us, then, having seen the Son, we can believe in the Father. To me, that is what it comes down to. We believe in a Triune God, and we are told that if we have seen the Son, we have seen the Father, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and of all things seen and unseen.
In the Creed we declare our faith - that is mine - although I cannot prove it - no more than I can that He rose again on the third day, and ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, by whom all things were created.
No proof - but so many to the loving heart, which needs none; in the end, it is a mystery, and I believe what the Church has always taught - because, in the end, it is what my heart tells me is true.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Beau Palmer, Cethlinn Cunningham and Emily Sexton each earned a top 10 finish in their respective races at the Lyon College Cross Country Invitational Meet held on Thursday.
Palmer placed third for the Scots in the 8-kilometer men's race with a time of 30:24.76. Cunningham earned top honors for the Pipers with a seventh-place time of 23:56.62 in the 5K women's race. Sexton rounded out the top 10 finishers with a ninth-place finish in the women's race and ran a time of 24:15.37.
Cavewomen collect key conference victory
CAVE CITY — Cave City collected a key win Thursday night at home against Conway Christian in a conference volleyball match.
Cave City won the match 25-10, 25-21, 20-25, 25-21 to move to 7-2 in the conference.
"The crowd was in it and it was a big game. We're tied for second now behind Conway St. Joseph," Cave City Coach Crystal Bradley said. "The atmosphere was awesome and the girls played great. I was proud of the fact that we came out so strong. We knew Conway Christian wouldn't back down, so I was happy with the way we kept up the intensity."
Suit filed over cancelation of turkey season
LITTLE ROCK (AP) — A Conway man has filed a lawsuit over the cancellation of the fall turkey hunting season in Arkansas.
The lawsuit by David Clark claims the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission was arbitrary and capricious in its decision. It also says hunters didn't have opportunity to object to the decision.
A Game and Fish Commission spokesman declined comment on the lawsuit.
The commission voted last week to cancel the fall turkey season over concerns the turkey population is falling too low.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Wynne.
Hogs favored in Texas
LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Arkansas' last game in the Dallas area was unpleasant — a blowout loss to Missouri in the 2008 Cotton Bowl.
The Razorbacks' last game against a Big 12 team? A 52-10 loss at Texas last year.
In fact, you have to go all the way back to the 2003 Independence Bowl to find the last Arkansas win over a non-SEC team from a BCS conference. This weekend offers a good opportunity for another, but it's no sure thing.
Tech girls win 5A state crown
PARAGOULD — The home team won here Wednesday in the Girls Class 5A State Golf Tournament.
Led by Anna Flanrey's 4-over-par 74, the Greene County Tech Lady Eagles held off the Greenwood Lady Bulldogs for an 8-stroke victory (246-254) on the Paragould Country Club course.
Tech's other scores came from Clara Tefteller (85) and Allie Massey (87).
Flanrey and Wynne's Caroline Boone shot 74s. Boone won the individual medal in a 1-hole playoff.
Lady Panthers shoot last to first to win Class 4A state golf crown
The Heber Springs Lady Panthers completed a last-to-first surge in the Girls Class 4A State Golf Tournament at The Course at Eagle Mountain on Wednesday.
And that requires even more explanation than you would think. Heber Springs Coach Gaye Stark did manage to say it in a few words, however.
"Commitment," she said of senior Brooke Blankenship's and junior Morgan Fire's big improvements. "And having Katie Webb transfer to your school doesn't hurt."
Rams will try to get well in Batesville
This is not what Paragould Coach Tim Branum had in mind when he returned to Paragould and the 5A-East District.
"Health-wise, it's been one of the worst years I ever remember," he said. "We lost Steven Vericker, our quarterback, the first game with a knee injury. We lost Trent Wooldridge, our best running back, in week 2 to a hip injury. We've had three miss games with concussions, and Zach Franks, our best receiver, has been out all this week with the flu."
Friday night, the Rams are scheduled to visit Batesville for another district contest.
Cavemen look to stay unbeaten as they visit lowly Bobcats
The Corning Bobcats are celebrating homecoming Friday night as they host the Cave City Cavemen for a 3A-3 District contest.
The Bobcats are under the direction of first-year coach Kenneth Moore and they're ailing. Two years removed from a 10-1 year, Corning is in jeopardy of canceling its season due to a lack of players.
"They dressed out about 16 last week. We're really hoping they can hang on and finish the season," Cave City Coach Jon Bradley said.
BHS, Wynne split district volleyball matches
Batesville and Wynne split 5A-East District varsity volleyball matches Tuesday in Pioneer Gymnasium.
The Batesville Junior Lady Pioneers won 25-20, 23-25, 25-15. The Lady Yellowjackets won 23-25, 25-13, 25-14, 25-20.
"We were without two starters (Amy Everett and Anna Richards) who are injured and ill, but I had a couple of girls, Jayme Shell and Shelby McGough, who stepped up and played really well," Junior Lady Pioneer Coach Lisa McCord said.
The coach also cited the hustle of Kinsey Skaggs.
Izard County finishes 2nd as CSJ builds dynasty
LA CROSSE — For the fourth straight year, the Conway St. Joseph Lady Bulldogs are state golf champions.
St. Joseph won the Class 2A State Golf Tournament at Cooper's Hawk Golf Course on Tuesday. The Lady Bulldogs' previous three were at the Class 3A level.
On Tuesday, the Lady Bulldogs carded a team score of 251 — 15 strokes fewer than the second-place Izard County Lady Cougars. Smackover placed third with a 283.
High school tennis
Below are results from Batesville and Southside tennis matches played last week, and Cave City matches on Monday. Batesville played a triangular match with Blytheville and Nettleton in Jonesboro that was cut short by rain. Southside played Heber Springs at Eden Isle. Cave City hosted Harding Academy for dual matches.
Cavewomen win, keep pace in v-ball standings
CAVE CITY — The Cave City Cavewomen defeated the Nemo Vista Lady Red Hawks 3-1 here Tuesday night to keep pace in the conference standings.
The game scores were 25-16, 26-24, 21-25, 25-22.
"This was a big game for us," Cave City Coach Crystal Bradley said. "They are pretty much right up there with us in the top four. It's looking like us, Nemo, Conway Christian and (Conway) St. Joseph vying for the top four spots."
The Cavewomen are 6-6 overall, 6-6 in the conference and scheduled to host the Conway Christian Lady Eagles Thursday night.

The Wolf "Mr. Invisible (James Welsh Remix)"
- Words: Derek Kaneko
- Label: Silver Bear
Having just dropped his "The Wolf's Hour" 12" via the newly founded Silver Bear label, The Wolf has sent over a remix from that record by Hypercolor affiliate James Welsh. Removing most of the growling vocals from the original track, Welsh's soothing house production brings droning loops to the forefront, creating a sense of mind-numbing euphoria. "Mr. Invisible (James Welsh Remix)" progresses across a wide range of chromatic synth-scapes, which helps make it a track perfect for keeping on repeat.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking into an accident involving a Toyota Highlander that claimed the lives of four motorists last year. Stephen Lagakos was driving with his wife and mother in New Hampshire when the vehicle sped up, passed a number of other vehicles on the shoulder and then crossed traffic. The Highlander struck a Chevrolet Malibu in the oncoming lane driven by Stephen Krause. No one survived.
The NHTSA is investigating the possibility that the crash was caused by unintended acceleration. Witnesses reported that Lagakos had been following the other drivers on the road for miles, giving proper following distance the entire time. When the Toyota sped past, the driver had both hands on the wheels and looked as if he was trying to avoid an accident.
So far, there's no indication as to whether or not the Lagakos vehicle had been serviced under Toyota's expansive recall. The 2008-2010 Highlander fell under the same January recall that brought in models like the Corolla, Venza, Matrix and Pontiac Vibe.
According to The Boston Globe, Toyota has expressed its sympathy for the families of the victims of the accident, and underscored its commitment to making all of its products safe to drive.

Natural mutation
natural mutation --> spontaneous mutation
A mutation which occurs by itself without first being affected by a mutagen, for example during the process of dNA replication. Spontaneous mutations arise at a remarkably constant rate. The rate that spontaneous mutations arise has been used as an evolutionary clock to estimate how closely related two (or more) separate species are to each other.

pioneerspirit is re-discovering 43
Happy Year of the Fire Dog, I really hope the shift in energy betters all of the wonderful people here on 43things!!!
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.

BASEL: Denis Kolodin was a relieved man when the referee changed his mind after showing him a red card on Saturday, enabling Russia's 11 men to overpower Holland in their Euro 2008 quarter-final.
Slovakian referee Lubos Michel rescinded a second booking for the defender in stoppage time of normal time after a linesman told the official the ball had gone out of play before Kolodin tangled with Wesley Sneijder.
That meant Russia retained a full team for extra time and were able to score two goals to secure a 3-1 win.
"I paid the referee a compliment," said Russia coach Guus Hiddink.
Kolodin's relief at staying on the pitch was marred by the fact he will still miss the semi-final against Spain or Italy because he was already on a yellow card from the previous game.
He refused to get too down, saying the main thing was the team were through.
"Maybe I will still have another game to play," said Kolodin. – Reuters
