Interesting stuff.
Gotta say, all the look and feel of it are all very encouraging. The adaptation is going to be interesting, though. A whole bunch of the emotional power of the stories comes from the observations and thoughts of the characters that are never actually said aloud. I'll be interested to see how it comes out on screen.

Mar 6th 2009 8:27AM Definitely Warbringer Om'rogg from Shattered Halls. I use his dying words all the time"
"This all your fault!" "I.... hate... you...."
Personally, I like idiot check fights (Heigan, Loken, etc). Makes you really think about the people in your guild...
Breakfast Topic: Pick a title, any title {WoW}
Mar 5th 2009 8:37AM For me personally... (character name) Demonbane. Or Scourgebane. Something for X kills of the appropriate type mob, just for fun.
For showing raid attentiveness "fireproof". Complete XYZ instance/raid without standing in the fire.
The Almighty title would be fun. Slew of "Bruce" and "Evan" characters would result.
My wife would be "Amorula, the Ice Queen" (frost mage obviously).
And to show my true geek colors "Mother Confessor" would be a great title for any Terry Goodkind fans.

Shuttle's rate of descent
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
When the shuttle burns out of orbit, What is its rate of descent? During daylight hours, at what altitude does it become a naked eye object?
I have watched a shuttle land. I saw the next shuttle that went up after the "Challenger" disaster land at Edwards Air Force Base in California. You *hear* the shuttle before you see it: it produces a characteristic double sonic boom as it crosses the California coast. Then everybody looks for it --- in those days typically thousands of people turned out for each landing --- and it takes about 3 or 4 minutes from when it is spotted until it lands, which is much quicker than if you were watching airplanes at the airport, because the shuttle lands faster than a jet and glides downward at a much steeper angle. The outside limit on seeing far-away objects is the resolution of your eye --- how small a thing can you make out? As a rough estimate, you can see something L feet long at a distance of D = 1720 * L/x feet away, if you can resolve something x seconds of arc across. To estimate how big x is for you, look at craters on the moon or a bird flying across it: the moon is 30 seconds of arc across, what fraction of the moon would an object have to be for you to recognize it? If you can make out things 1/5 the size of the moon, x = 6 and you can see 100 foot objects (the size of the shuttle) 30,000 feet away. But the problem with the shuttle is not the outside limit, but *finding* the thing in the sky. If you have ever watched a child's balloon rise up in a clear sky, taken your eyes off it for a moment and then tried to find it again you know what I mean. It helps that the shuttle is black (from below) but normally it is not spotted until it is well within the outside limit.

My nephew went on a vacation to the Island Of Molokai. If you need a place with quiet and something more like the orig islands that is the place. They have a little bit of a rain forest for hiking, only 3 or 4 restaurants, that are very expensive. He got mad at their prices and bought some food at their store for sandwiches. LOL He had a hut on the beach that was rocky, look like black lava rock, no swimming. He rented a car there and drove to a stretch of beach 3 miles long and they had the place to themselves. I thought of going there but not sure about going alone. Sounds like paradise to me. This is not a commercial, I love nature and thought I would share this with any one else that likes to hike and enjoys solitude. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Molokai
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds interesting. Considering HI for next year but I think we will stay on "the beaten path" since we are first timers. |
stir fryi, I am one of those rare people who likes solitude, communing with nature, etc.. It would suit me just fine. Wish I knew someone with the same likes, so I wouldn't have to go alone. |
Hi Ever consider Costa Rica?? They have 10 climate zones both oceans , scuba ,white water, real rainforests Any kind of accomadations you can imagine. Almost a quarter of the entire country is parks so you can be as alone ,not alone as you chose.lol The flora and fauna is mind boggling. Ground trans is excellant as is air. Have nothing against Hawaii,Caribbean just sooo much more to see and do for a lot less money have meet many people traveling alone there even to very remote areas. but you can always go with a tour group either arranged here or there depending on where you want to go and how much time?? gary |
Costa Rico is very dangerous, don't believe it if you are told differently. I was there and the guides were saying it is safe to wander around alone. Later on a cruise I was discussing this with someone and she said her brother married a woman from PR. He moved there set up his dental and had children. He carried a gun, there was a gun in every room of their home, guns in his dental office and bars on all the windows. When the children grew up they went to college in the US and never came home and they were begging the parents to move to the states where it is safe. |

Wickes Decorators Caulk White is a fine flexible crack fliier that is easy to tool and overpaintable.
Wickes Decorators Caulk White is a fine flexible crack fliier that is easy to tool and overpaintable.
"This product is easy to use, smooths on well,fills, holds and finishes perfectly. When painting over with emulsion it tends to show through,is supposed to be overpaintable but I always paint over first with one part emulsion one part water. Recently used an alternative caulk as bought wrong size of this one by mistake, and it was awful to use compared to this. Must have item for every decorating job!"
"I've used this stuff for years with no trouble. Put it. On and paint over it. However this must have changed. Goes on fine leave for a while (days in my case) and when I painted over the top it continues to craze. I will never use this product again it has put me back days. I don't normally do reviews but I felt so strongly about how useless this was I had to share."
"Waste of money! Like the other reviews used to be really good and now just cracks and needs re-doing after a couple of weeks with another well known brand!. Dont waste your time or money!"
"I used to swear by this caulk, it was the best one the market, once uopn a time. But since the supplier has changed, so has the quality. Its does NOT dry white and cracks (no flexibility) within 2 weeks of being applied and is definitely over-priced. The only plus side to the product, is that it is paint-able."

Human Rights and Development
Respect for Human Rights and the Rule of Law is strongly correlated with effective poverty-reduction and the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. The respect for the right to life, human dignity, equality under the law, the integrity of the human body, and economic, social and cultural rights, form a prime pillar in all of the programmes in French cooperation.
The French approach, which considers respect for Human Rights and democratic principles as a process that develops within a society, lays emphasis on promoting the capacities of local partners: Human Rights proponents, professional organisations and associations (legal specialists, lawyers, journalists, etc.), mediation institutions (national commissions/institutions for Human Rights, mediators or ombudsmen), civil society and NGOs.
The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs also conducts targeted actions, in particular in favour of the fight against forced disappearances, trading in human beings, torture or inhuman or degrading treatment. It defends and promotes children's rights and is working to develop a strategy on women's rights and the gender issue in development policies.

I have two old-fashioned climbing roses to give to anyone who can meet me for a dropoff or come and get them on a weekend.
A friend gave these to me early last summer, and they are not happy in my shady yard. They're very vigorous in the right setting. Not sure what color- haven't ever had the chance to see them bloom! A warning- right now they're young and unhappy and look sraggly, but even under these conditions they've grown and I know in the right garden they would take off. No trade necessary, but if you've got shade loving perennials to share, they'd be most welcome! |

George M. Laffoon was sworn in as a deputy sheriff on Wednesday, March 26, 2014. This new position with the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office represents the latest post in a 39-plus year career in public service. He said most know him as Mike and he is proud of his Chesterfield roots. "I was born in Chesterfield. I'm a Matoaca boy, that's what they call us," Laffoon said.
Mike Laffoon's career in public service started in 1975 with the United States Postal Service's Youth Opportunity Plan. "It was a great opportunity to start a career in public service," Laffoon said. That early decision propelled a successful postal service career that would see him elevated to the post of Chesterfield Branch Postmaster. He would hold this position for seven years until his retirement on March 1, 2014.
In 1990, Mike Laffoon joined the Chesterfield County Auxiliary Police. "I was always interested in law enforcement and the Chesterfield Auxiliary Police allowed me to serve the public while also building a career with the postal service," Laffoon said.
He would excel in his auxiliary role and steadily progress in the posts of Auxiliary Training Sergeant, Assistant Squad Leader, Squad Leader, Training Lieutenant, Auxiliary Lieutenant and Unit Commander. He was recognized as the Chesterfield Special Police Officer of the Year in 1991 and the Auxiliary Officer of the Year in 2007. In 2011, he was awarded the Chesterfield Police Life Saving Award and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police Valor Award for assisting fellow officers remove a loaded weapon from a subject's hand in a residence filled with propane gas.
He was also recognized for his instrumental role in restructuring the Auxiliary Police Unit into platoons, creating a mentoring system, and assisting with training in crowd control and mass arrests. All told, Auxiliary Unit Commander Mike Laffoon has provided the citizens of Chesterfield more than 18,000 hours of volunteer service.
Public service is a family affair for the Laffoon household with his wife, Sherri Laffoon, serving as Program Manager for the Chesterfield County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Sherri Laffoon's public service career is likewise about giving back to the citizens of Chesterfield with positions in the Emergency Communications Center (ECC), Chesterfield Fire Department and currently as the Chesterfield Fire & EMS CERT Program Manager.
On March 28, 2014, Unit Commander Mike Laffoon retired from the Chesterfield Police Auxiliary and was recognized before the Board of Supervisors for his 24-plus years of faithful service. "It's what I always wanted to do," Laffoon said.
The next chapter in his public service career will be as Deputy Sheriff George M. Laffoon with an initial post in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. We expect this is only the start of an exceptional career with the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office.

Showers weren't predicted for last Saturday morning, but the early morning rain did not keep serious bike riders away from CCHASM's Spirit 76 Ride. The ride, with the starting point at Chester Baptist Church's parking lot, gave bikers a choice of either a 76-mile ride or a 40-mile ride through southern Chesterfield County. Of the 83 bike riders registered, over 40 riders kicked off the 76-mile ride at 8 a.m., and with the sun breaking through around 9 a.m., 35 riders began their 40-mile ride. Sharon Juozapavicius, CEO for CCHASM (Chesterfield Colonial Heights Alliance for Social Ministry), said, "This is our third year [sponsoring the race] and it is our biggest. We have almost tripled [the number of riders] from last year."
All proceeds from the ride go to CCHASM a 501(c) (3), which has been assisting area residents with emergency needs for over 22 years. "We now have over 19 food pantries in the area," said Juozapavicius. Along with Chesterfield, CCHASM now serves Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Prince George and Dinwiddie County. With four major sponsors for the ride, Agee's Bicycles, Anytime Fitness, Martin's and Papa John's Pizza, the riders helped raise several thousand dollars for CCHASM's projects. "We thank everyone for their support," said Juozapavicius. "It's wonderful of everyone who turned out to support and enjoyed the ride."
Bike riders came from all over the area as well as a few from out of state. Leading the group on the 40-mile ride was a group of riders that ride together each Tuesday evening at Richard Bland College. Mike and Mary Anne Williams, of Chester, Kent Dodd of Chester, Scott Morehead of Petersburg and Mike Peterson of Ft. Lee, try to get in a 30-mile ride each Tuesday evening. Sometimes riding with as many as 13 bike riders, Mary Anne Williams said, "We can get 22 to 30 miles in before it starts to get dark. Now that the days are getting shorter, it will be a little less."
Traveling from Raleigh, N.C., Neal Hood rides for the escape. Hood found out about the Spirit 76 ride last weekend when he traveled up to Ashland for the 100-mile ride during their BikeFest. Hood said he has been riding long distances for about four years. "It is just an escape," he said. "And I like the sitting aspect of it a lot." Hood rides around 150 miles each weekend. "In the winter around 90 to 100 miles," he said. "This is the first time for the ride, but I try to ride all the mountain rides in Virginia. Hood said a typical 100-mile ride in the mountains takes around seven hours, and on flatter terrain like in Chesterfield it will take around five and a half to six hours. "I tried to make it up for the 76-mile ride, but I was running a little late." The bike Hood was riding in the 40-mile race ran around $3,000 and he said his mountain bike was $6,000. "It is not cheap," he said about his biking, "but you only live once."
Along with maintaining the 19 pantries, CCHASM's biggest project lies ahead of them. They will distribute several thousand meals to families in Chesterfield County for Thanksgiving and will add a new distribution of Thanksgiving meals at the V.F.W. in Hopewell to help families of Hopewell, Prince George and Dinwiddie County.

Job | Character on Itchy & Scratchy |
First Appearance | The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show |
Voiced by | Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson |
- "Catch you on the flip side, dudemeisters! Nooot!"
- ―Poochie
- "Hello there, Itchy. I know there's a lot of people who don't like me and wish I would go away and I think we got off on the wrong foot. I know I can come off a little proactive, and for that I'm sorry. But if everyone could find a place in their hearts for the little dog nobody wanted I know we can make 'em laugh and cry till we grow old together."
- ―Homer's passionate speech[src]
- "Always stay in character, and no flirting with pretty moms... TO THE EXTREME! "
- ―Poochie
Poochie was a character on The Itchy & Scratchy Show. The network executives decided that the show needed an "update" to keep the interest of its audience, so they devised Poochie, a cartoon dog "with an attitude". Poochie has a song, the Poochie rap.
After widespread auditions, Homer was chosen to provide Poochie's voice. The character debuted to an unreceptive audience following a massive publicity campaign; he only served to interfere with the well-oiled machine of hyperviolent slapstick that Itchy and Scratchy had perfected over the years.
When dissatisfied viewers flooded the network with letters crying for Poochie's immediate removal, if not death, the executives quickly decided to get rid of the character. Homer begged for another chance, insisting that Poochie would grow on the audience; this argument held little weight until the actress who performed voices for both Itchy and Scratchy declared her support for Poochie as well.Homer was shocked, however, when the next cartoon aired: it contained a hastily-animated, redubbed segment in which Poochie, not voiced by Homer, stated he had decided to return to his "home planet." Dialogue written in bloody letters across the screen read, "Note: Poochie died on his way back to his home planet," and cuts immediately back to Krusty telling kids happily, "Poochie's dead!" Despite his death, however, he made a brief cameo in the Itchy and Scratchy episode The Tears of a Clone.
He appears periodically on merchandise such as dolls and T-shirts. possibly a parody of the "nostalgia" trends of consumer culture.
Non-Canon Appearances Edit
The Simpsons GameEdit
He is the main enemy on the Grand Theft Scratchy level, where he acts and speaks like a rapper. After Marge and Lisa re-form the Ice Cream cars, Poochie talks to the Feline "ho's" watching the show, ordering them to destroy the cars. Using her Hand of Buddha, Lisa defeats the prostitutes, while Marge sends the dogs to destroy the stage on which Poochie stands. Marge apologized and told him that "even he isn't a match for a stay-at-home mom with too much time on her hands."

Having tight, vibrant or youthful skin above the age of 35 is an instant ego booster and attraction factor for anyone. The people of today do not have to live with wrinkled and sagged skin as their ancestors did because it is the age of cosmetic surgery, laser treatments and radio frequency treatments.
A radio frequency treatment is a non-invasive, not complicated treatment that tightens the skin by being absorbed into the deep layers of the skin without causing any harm to the epidermis. Radio frequency has been used in the past to treat many non-cosmetic surgery related problems such as for pain relief and tumor removal but today it used for cosmetic procedures such as cellulite reduction, skin tightening, defining eyebrows, breast lift, improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, tightening abdomen, cheeks, jowls, neck and melolabial creases.
A radio frequency treatment is a much preferred substitute for a facelift, as it does not involve incisions, sutures and long healing time and shows immediate skin tightening. A radio frequency treatment for skin tightening works best on loose and thin skin. The process takes about one hour and results are seen immediately.
To acquire the best results, repeated treatments of radio frequency are essential. Some frequently asked questions regarding this treatment are the following:
How does radio frequency tighten the skin?
Radio frequency mildly heats up the temperature of the skin and subcutaneous area below the skin. When the warming is maintained for several minutes collagen synthesis begins and over a number of treatments and the skin becomes visibly tightened.
What frequency and time is required for attaining the best results?
Usually, the face and neck require a series of four to six weekly treatments lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Body treatment sessions could be up to 40 to 60 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.
When will the results be apparent after the first treatment?
Most clients see tightening, lifting and plumping in the face and neck immediately. For cellulite and fat reduction processes such as underarm flabbiness and sagging, immediate results can be seen as well.
How long will the results last after treatment?
The results of radio frequency treatment are long lasting but most professionals suggest repeated treatments every 3 to 4 months. Following a healthy diet, doing facial exercises and avoiding fatty foods can also help prolong the results.
A radio frequency treatment is highly opted by celebrities, VIPS and ordinary people alike due to its non-complicated and quick result nature.

In early May, the Italian publication La Repubblica and Reuters, reported that the Ara Pacis Museum, completed in 2006 by noted American architect Richard Meier, was in danger of being demolished or relocated to a suburban site.
Rome's newly elected Mayor, Gianni Alemmano announced at a news conference in which he outlined his plans for Rome that "Meiers building is a construction to be scrapped." Alemanno, later told TV audiences on the popular Italian show "Porta a Porta" that he would be holding a citywide referendum to allow Roman citizens to decide the fate of the Museum, the only modern structure built in the historical city center since Mussolini's time and reportedly the third most visited site in Rome. According to the Mayor "It is an issue of compatibility: the [building] is in a baroque part of the city, and that style suits the area. It is not a priority, but I think that some interventions were excessively invasive".
Mary Lou Bunn, a communications spokesperson for Richard Meier's office said, "things have been quiet" (since the announcement was made). She added that Meier "is willing to talk to the Mayor" about the matter and that "people at the firm are very attached to the project." Ms. Bunn said that the Italian daily, the Corriere della Sera, had polled its readers about the matter with the results being that somewhere near 70% of respondents want the building to stay.
The Ara Pacis Museum was created as "fitting and secure housing for the Ara Pacis", a sacrificial altar dating back to 9BC.

Jets' GM Chevy looks for right guy
Interviewing potential draft picks in Toronto
TORONTO -- He called it a week of speed-dating.
Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff certainly needs it to lead to just the right phone number at the NHL draft, given the team's thin list of in-the-system prospects.
Cheveldayoff and his hockey department and scouts have been busy at the NHL scouting combine this week, interviewing more than 70 draft-eligible prospects since Monday.
The NHL brings the top 105 17- and 18-year-olds together for four days of conversations and then today's and Saturday's fitness testing.
"You get essentially 20 minutes with each player," Cheveldayoff said Thursday during a break between interviews. "You get a chance to learn a little bit about their personality, a little bit about them as a person and their background. And to hear them evaluate themselves, how they feel their game is and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
"These players are very professional even though they're not in the pro ranks yet. They all train, have off-season programs. Hockey has become a 12-month sport, not just in the NHL and the business side of the game, but also from a prospect perspective.
"The amount of time, effort and dedication they put into the game is evident."
The Jets are in a cross-current heading into the entry draft, June 22-23 in Pittsburgh. They sit in the No. 9 spot in the first round, with a more urgent need for more forward prospects.
The highest-ranked draft prospects this year are forwards, like consensus No. 1 Nail Yakupov, Filip Forsberg and Mikhail Grigorenko. But those players are all but guaranteed to be gone by the time it comes the Jets' turn, and the next wave of players is a bona fide crop of elite defencemen prospects, which is not exactly what the doctor is prescribing.
Compounding it all is that numerous top prospects this season have missed varying amounts of recent time with injuries.
"I think that this year's draft, it's going to be really tough to predict," Cheveldayoff said. "You've got a lot of guys who have had injuries throughout the year and missed a good portion of the year."
"You've got a lot of team dynamics, different teams that may want to draft more for position than player. I think you'll see a lot of players ranked very differently on each and every team."
Cheveldayoff said the wide variety of individual team lists this season could lead to any number of unexpected developments "on how the top 20 kids will fall into play."
"It's still very early in this process and at No. 9, it's still the great unknown as far as what happens in those eight spots in front of you," he said.
"You try to get the feel for the different things that might or might not happen (ahead). You just don't know. All of a sudden there could be a trade. You just have to be prepared and have your own thoughts and lists in place."
It was at this point of Thursday's conversation that Cheveldayoff again refused to rule out dealing the No. 9 pick.
"Those kind of conversations among GM's are ongoing and we had the meetings there yesterday in New York," he said. "So any time you get together, you talk about different things. I think everyone will get through this combine and as the weeks start leading to the draft, lots of conversations about different things could happen."
The GM has certainly left the door open for it.
Some even think some kind of deal at draft time could be the perfect opportunity to create the roster spot, or even two, on defence that the Jets may want for an in-the-system promotion for someone like Paul Postma.
"Moving up or moving down, does that make sense for us?" Cheveldayoff said. "That'll be determined as we continue to meet more and try to target who we want."

It's all in the bulb right?
How are you supposed to pick the lighting when there are so many options? So confusing. For instance, you look flawless in the dressing room at Anthropologie, but look washed out in the doctor's exam room. The only thing I know I don't like are those energy lights..a friend uses those and her house looks terrible at night, like it has a green haze. |
Follow-Up Postings:
For color accuracy, you will need to check the advertised CRI (Color Rendering Index). Anything >80 would be good. Also bear in mind that the price also tends to rise with the CRI. The whiteness of the light will also have an impact. This is typically measured in terms of kelvin. Most people will prefer something from 2700K - 3000K, which is what most incandescent bulbs produce. Cheap CFLs (< $2) may not be the solution. CREE LR6 lights are pretty good. |
great, thanks for explaining this..have it written down. I've seen the 2700 mentioned a few times and didn't know what it meant. Thanks so much! |

A thank-you to tea party
for helping re-elect Obama
On behalf of President Barack Hussein Obama and Democrats across the United States, I want to thank tea party members everywhere; we could not have done it without you, and I sincerely wish you well.
Wil Struggard
Let's pray that Obama will do what's right this term
I wonder if President Obama, Harvard Law School graduate, knows two of the countless difficulties — besides freedom and liberty — facing the Founding Fathers were mandatory taxes and tariffs required by England's King George?
On Nov. 13, 1789, Ben Franklin made a profound statement in a letter to Jean Baptiste Leroy. Franklin wrote, "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
Consequently, as President "King George" Obama begins his second term in office, there is nothing to proclaim for certain, except death and taxes.
So, as we approach "King George's" second term and the financial cliff facing our nation, let us pray: God save Barack "King George" Obama and our jobs, 401(k) savings plans, pension plans and the defense funds required to fight off Islam extremists here and abroad. Amen.

Many problems here caused by Chicago housing projects
The spillage of dysfunctional people into Northwest Indiana from Chicago was inevitable, considering the close proximity and the demolition of housing projects.
Let's face it, or at least I will, the escalation in violence throughout Chicago and Northwest Indiana is primarily due to the failure of a plan. When the various housing projects in Chicago were built more than 50 years ago, the planning process did not include the potentially destructive mentalities of the poor occupants when they were bunched together like sardines. When generations of a problematic and dysfunctional community are dispersed, do you suppose their anger and problems will be dispersed as well? Of course not.
What we are experiencing as a whole is the same problems the tenants of the housing projects experienced, but now, those problems are scattered. When they were contained, it was no big deal. The demolition of those containment walls catapulted the occupants into society, with catastrophic consequences.
If a person has been incarcerated for the last 20 years and, during that time, he was constantly exposed to hatred, violence and self-pity, and then he is released, do you think he will function well in society without being gradually reintroduced?
Just as that inmate needed to go through a transition program, occupants of the housing projects should have gone through a similar program.

GVM Snow Equipment: Four-wheel steering, three modes
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On October 6, 2011 @ 2:54 pm In eRoadPro Newsletter | No Comments
GVM Snow Equipment's PowerPlatform multi-purpose machine maintains a road legal 102-inch tire width and can reach road speeds up to 45mph. The four-wheel drive machine offers four-wheel steering with three steering modes: front steering, coordinated steering, and crab steering. The unique frame design allows the PowerPlatform to turn with a 9-foot shorter radius than a pickup truck, allowing the vehicle to turn around on a two-lane road intersection and maneuver through cul-de-sacs. The forward-mounted cab features with floor to ceiling glass and carries 26,000 pounds of cargo at 45 mph, and 44,000 pounds at lower speeds.
Powered by a 260-horsepower Cummins 6.7L Tier III engine mated with a ZF 6-speed power shift transmission, an efficient mechanical drive train is created. A 43-gpm of hydraulic accessory flow is standard. For an interview by Better Roads editors and video walkaround of a control system from GVM, go to http://www.youtube.com/user/BetterRoadsmag#p/u.

Alice Coachman
Olympic medal record | ||
Women's athletics | ||
Competitor for the United States | ||
Gold | 1948 London | High jump |
Alice Marie Coachman (November 9, 1923 – July 14, 2014) was an American athlete. She specialized in high jump and was the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal.[1] In 2002 she was designated a Women's History Month Honoree by the National Women's History Project.[2]
Born in Albany, Georgia, Coachman dominated the AAU outdoor high jump championship from 1939 through 1948, winning ten national championships in a row.[3]
However, she was unable to compete in the Olympic Games as they were cancelled in 1940 and 1944 because of World War II. In the opinion of sportswriter Eric Williams, "Had she competed in those canceled Olympics, we would probably be talking about her as the No. 1 female athlete of all time."[4]
In the high jump finals of the 1948 Summer Olympics, Coachman leaped 1.68 m (5 ft 6⅛ in) on her first try. Her nearest rival, Great Britain's Dorothy Tyler, matched Coachman's jump, but only on her second try. Coachman was the only American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics in 1948. Her medal was presented by King George VI.[5]
Coachman also excelled in the indoor and outdoor 50 m dash and the outdoor 100 m dash. Representing Tuskegee University, Coachman also ran on the national champion 4 x 100-meter relay team in 1941 and 1942. Coachman was an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, inducted in 1998 during the sorority's international conference. She was inducted to the USA Track and Field Hall of fame in 1975 and the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004.[6] She died in Albany, Georgia on July 14, 2014 of cardiac arrest after respiratory problems. She also had a stroke a few months prior for which she received treatment from a nursing home.[7]

Good morning.
Can you belief that we have December already? I am NOT ready for it!! Lucky are the ones, who got all their shopping, cards etc, done! When taking the youngest to the airport, she complained of a sore throat. Well, guess who laid in bed all day yesterday? Yupp. Instead of cleaning, I slept all day. Having a cat in full heat does not help much either lol. Poor thing does not know WHAT is happening rofl. Since the weather is so crazy, How about if we start December of with a sky picture?
The son send a picture yesterday from El Paso, SNOW! lol But he has only one more day and then they are on their way to Iraq. Wishing everyone a wonderful day.
Our thoughts are with you Lucy |

It's Dec alright. I got up this morning to 30 degrees brrrrrrr! I was getting used to the unseasonably warm temps we'd been having. My best wishes are with your son. I just wish all of our service men and women were home already. Spay your cat or shoot her! (just kidding about the shooting part) A cat in heat is just about the worst sound I can think of. My house is still in disarray. At least you have until the end of Dec to prepare. Hanukkah is somewhere around 12/12 this year. I hate when it's so early. I did do some shopping yesterday..... for myself. lol A Kate Spade trunk sale!!! My two favorite things, a handbag and shoes. At least I enclosed a gift card to myself from the kids. lol |
Good morning all. Neat pix Lucy. Hope you, and your DD, are all better today. Please know that our prayers and thanks go to every service man and woman who so bravely protect us all. I got a Christmas card on 11/30 and was totally floored! I usually don't send out many now, but when I do, they go out the end of the 1st or 2nd week in Dec. Karyn, that's funny about enclosing a gift card from the kids, LOL! |

I love the sky when it looks like that Lucy. It looks the the beach with waves rolling in except the color is so divine. Sort of like our brugmansias? Sorry to hear you're sick, gargle with salt water, take vitamin D. Our community chorus is performing this weekend and I'm singing "Sending you a little Christmas" which we're dedicating to the servicemen and women - I'll be thinking of your son. So what are you gonna do with your poor kitty? If she's not being purposefully bred, get the girl spayed. You'll have every Tom around looking for her and kittens to find homes for otherwise. Kittens are fun tho! Happy Day! |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 9:49
Lucy are you sick or was it your GD? I thought you stayed in bed just to have a lazy day. God knows we all need one once in a while. If you are feeling bad I hope you are feeling better soon. |
- Posted by givelittle_getlots Zone 8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 10:16
Karyn no I was sicker then a dog yesterday, but feel 100% better today. Thanks. And your first posting made me laugh a lot lol and laughter has a healing effect lol. Hubby learned his lesson and he buys my gifts these days...ha ha ha About Precious and her misery ....I was going to call and make a appointment yesterday...I think she can not be in heat when they spay her. If I remember correctly and from what I remember my vets always said they should have their 1st time before spaying them. Been a while since a had a baby kitten :-) But I do not breed and there are to many unwanted animals out there already. Karyn I know you were just kidding about the shooting ha ha ha had to read it again and it is just so funny lol Well got to get the garage empty for the guy who installs the openers today. Got the Ping Pong table still up. Man that was a lot of fun playing with the grandkids. Have not played since our kids were little. I do not know who played worse...the GK or I roflmao Eloise I have had so many years were I wrote x mas cards...but never got around to mail them out. My organizing skills just went away lol Thanks everyone for keeping our soldiers in your thoughts and prayers. I am so glad I am feeling better, that means I can go and take pictures of Caren's son coming home tomorrow :-) Hugs |
- Posted by haase 10 CA (email@example.com) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 10:39
Lucy I'm glad you are feeling better. Take a German white beer radish, hollow it out so that top and bottom have a hole, and pack it with brown sugar. Then set it on a plate or bowl and wait till the juices come out. Scoop up the juices with a tablespoon and swallow them. Works wonders on a sore throat. But tastes weird. Ingrid. |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 11:05
Ingrid that just sounds nasty! lol Lucy I'm not sure if they can be spayed during a heat cycle or not but things have changed over the years. I remember they used to wait to spay until after the first heat. Now they do it when they are very young, sometimes too young IMO. When you adopt from the ASPCA sometimes the kittens are spayed/neutered before being adopted out but I think that's to make sure the adoptive families comply with sterilization. We got our last cat from a rescue group 4 years ago and you had to agree to spay/neuter before they reached 6 months of age. |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer 8a TX (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 11:36
Lucy, glad you are feeling better. Thank your son for us, too. The sky picture is pretty. It is looking like December here; December somewhere else that is. Temps are 25 degrees below normal today and cold, cold rain. No lights or decorations going outside today. We are looking at a freeze here soon. |
- Posted by givelittle_getlots Zone 8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 11:43
Ingrid, just reading this, I feel no more pain in my throat. rofl. Actually I will write this down for the future and try it. Never heard of that one. Thanks Ingrid. Karyn I agree. All I know is that now Precious is not attacking Aisha as much anymore. So one good thing already came out of it. I totally believe in spaying and neutering pets. Always done it. Besides....YES the noise is just heartbreaking. Shirley the weatherman predicts 29 Degrees for I think, Thursday night. Did not pay attention when I saw that it does not even heat up much during the day. Will pass all the thank yous on to son right now. Hugs |
I just LOVE a Texas Sunrise!! Beautiful pic!!!! I am so very glad to hear you are feeling better...I spent all day Sat. on the couch with sweats and 2 blankets and was still cold...I think my taste buds are sick..LOL Everything tastes Gross! My Thoughts and Prayers are with your Son and all of our Men and Women who serve and protect!! Kylie |
- Posted by napdognewfie MD zone 5b (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 15:09
They CAN be spayed in heat but it's best to wait because of more bleeding & everything being engorged & all. You can also knock your female out of heat with a Q tip. Email me for directions if you are interested. They don't come back in season for a few months. No, I'm not a pervert. LOL Linda |
- Posted by givelittle_getlots Zone 8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Dec 1, 09 at 15:29
roflmao I do not even want my imagination to go there ha ha ha ha Precious is pretty ok. Sleeping a lot. I will e mail you just in case it gets worse Thanks Linda |

How dare JC Penny even request a consumer report on me as to my character, its bad enough that to obtain a job these days you must submitt to a drug test , polygragh test, employment verification, references, and now a consumer report. I can sit my behind on state assistance with food stamps and let people like myself drain the system squeezing out one kid after another while they sell their foodstamps , take in boarders for unclaimed cash and smoke meth or crack all day , but know I am trying to get a second part time job and you want to trace me back to the womb?
Here some facts for you I never call in I am always early to work, dressed accordingly for my job the United States has almost put me in the street while your FAT CAT CEO is cleaning up on my back. All I want is a job to keep my house, if companies like you paid what some of us are worth we wouldnt have consumer issues, and wouldnt be looking for part time jobs to hang on to our houses. Your consumer report wont tell you Ive been in customer service for 25 years that Ive received awards and letters as to how good I am, its not going to tell you that Im to proud to borrow money to keep my head afloat and that I chose to look for a part time job its not going to tell you.
Ive been out of work for almost a year and just now getting back on my feet at a minium wage job, it wont tell you during that year i lived in the street. FOR SHAME ON YOU JC PENNY, I WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB , NOT JUDGEMENT.

- Conference date: 25-30 Jun 1995
- Location: Dana Point, California (USA)
We present results from a hydrodynamic model of the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM), self-consistently taking into account the effects of charge exchange between the plasma component and the interstellar neutrals (for a detailed description on this model see Pauls et al., 1995). The simulation is fully time dependent, and is carried out in two or three dimensions, depending on whether the helio-latitudinal dependence of the solar wind speed and number density (both giving rise to three dimensional effects) are included. (Note that the neutral/plasma interactions are ignored in the three dimensional case). As a first approximation, it is assumed that the neutral component of the flow can be described by a single, isotropic fluid. Clearly, this is not the actual situation, since charge exchange with the solar wind plasma in the region of the nose results in a "second" neutral fluid propagating in the opposite direction to that of the LISM neutrals. These problems are addressed in the papers by Zank et al. (1995) and Williams et al. (1995).
