Fantasy NASCAR: Matt Kenseth showing championship form
By Steve T. Gorches 314-3797 or firstname.lastname@example.com July 4, 2013 7:16PM

Fantasy NASCAR
The annual Post-Tribune Fantasy NASCAR contest has almost completed a sixth season. Each week readers pick five drivers and points are based on the same system NASCAR uses in its standings. Lineup entries can be submitted via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or phone (219-314-3797). Entries can also be texted to that cell number. No faxes, please. With your entries, please include your name, hometown and a contact number. First and second place each week will be entered into a drawing in two weeks for two tickets to the Brickyard 400.
Top 10 readers this week
Sheila Smith 195
Wayne Cates 192
Sonja Ison 189
Bob Curtis 185

Steve T. Gorches picks
KENTUCKY: Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truex Jr., Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr.; Total points: 153; DAYTONA: Carl Edwards, David Gilliland, Juan Montoya, Michael Waltrip, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Updated: August 6, 2013 6:30AM
Who knew Matt Kenseth could be this dominant? Granted, he's only fifth in the NASCAR points standings so far this season, but that doesn't matter once the Chase starts as long as he's in.
What does matter is those four victories he's accumulated — the latest coming Sunday at Kentucky after the race was delayed a day due to weather.
Kenseth did win the Sprint Cup title back in 2003, but it was one of the fluke titles that caused NASCAR to go to the current Chase system.
He won the crown with only one race victory, but he had 11 top-5s and 25 top-10s. He wouldn't have won the title now because victories matter so much more with bonus points (each driver receives 10 points per win during the first 26 races to begin the Chase).
Kenseth's got a great start to the Chase already, and he still has a couple months to get more wins.
As for the Post-Tribune's sixth annual Fantasy NASCAR contest, readers only have a couple more weeks left to qualify for our drawing for two tickets to the Brickyard 400 on July 28. And one of our regular entries over the last few years qualified for the first time this season.
Sheila Smith of Porter had Kenseth, along with Joey Logano (fourth), Kyle Busch (fifth), Jeff Gordon (eighth) and Kasey Kahne (11th) for 195 points. Smith edged Wayne Cates, who had 192 points for his second runner-up finish this season and second qualifying spot for the drawing, which will take place the week after he New Hampshire race next Sunday.
As for this week's race, it's another Saturday night event, and we're back to the restrictor plate racing, which means unpredictability returns, as well as some pretty big crashes. Or at least if I were a betting man, I'd wager on accidents galore.
This past week, so many readers fell short because they had a combination of Denny Hamlin (35th), Greg Biffle (34th) or Brad Keselowski (33rd) in their lineups. A combo of those three won't work this week either. Going back to our first year of Fantasy NASCAR, my advice holds true — well-known, popular drivers don't finish well collectively in resrictor plate events.
There will always be a David Ragan or Michael Waltrip or Aric Almirola or Jamie McMurray (who finished second in Kentucky) who finishes in the top five or top three. Ragan won the last restrictor plate race, so keep that in mind.

Bomb's Breakfast

I eat breakfast on the run almost every day, and McDonald's Egg McMuffin value meal was a common breakfast choice. Then I discovered I could make my own sandwich at home in the time it would take me to go through the drive-thru, and I could make it much healthier (and I think tastier, too!). I have even made this sandwich at work to eat at my desk by just cooking the egg and warming the ham in the microwave. I pair it with a serving of fruit, and my day is off to a great start!

Starpoint begins 2013-14 budget process
BY: Rikki Cason | December 30, 2012
The budget process is underway at the Starpoint Central School District for the 2013-2014 school year.
Director of Administrative Services Jonathan Andrews presented board of education members with the district's budget goals and financial factors they would be facing.
"We certainly want to provide a fiscally prudent school budget," said Andrews. "Our goal is to continue the programs we have but be as responsible as possible."
For the 2013-14 year, Starpoint will look to eliminate an additional $950,000 from it budget. For the 2012-13 year, $1.6 million was cut, in order to present a 1.26 percent tax rate increase.
Andrews said there would be no new staff members hired, a zero percent increase in stipends and most overtime will be kept at zero.
The staffing effect on the budget is an increase of $416,380, a two percent rise from last year.
Other potential items affecting the staffing budget are contract settlements, changes in federal and state grants, enrollment size for kindergarten and if the district offers a retirement incentive.
Hurricane Sandy could also have an effect on next school year's budget. Andrews said because the state spent $42 billion on the storm, it may possibly delay the 2012-13 building aid because the state has a cash shortfall. It could also have an impact on the amount of state aid the district will receive for 2013-14.
The fiscal cliff will present a loss of federal grant funds, which currently covers 15 full-time positions, approximately $600,000 in salary.
Andrews said Starpoint continues to follow their five-year plan to work through these "difficult financial times."
"We have a supportive community that values education," said Andrews. "We've gone over a decade with out a budget defeat."
The 2013-14 budget vote will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 21. Voting will take place in the middle school gym and three board of education seats will be for election.
In other district news:
• Superintendent C. Douglas Whelan said the district is going to take a look at the bus loop at the high school and consider making it one way.
He said they want to look at congestion patterns and will consider different drop off points for sports teams.
• Starpoint received approval from the state for their APPR plan for the teachers and principals annual performance reviews.
The plan had to be submitted in July, and if not approved, they would have lost $408,000 in state aid.

Over the last year, the company, product, and direction have all grown and shifted. Vera Films has backed several internet shows including The Fever, and now Angel has realized his first full length film project entitled, High Grade, which already has attracted the interest of several heavy hitters.
The High Grade synopsis is as follows:
High Grade is a hilarious comedy thriller filled with action and excitement from beginning to end. Ace, Mike, and Dakota are college dropouts that share an apartment in
Why did Vera Films choose marijuana as the topic for its first full length feature?
"We have so many ideas and things that are actively being worked on," says Angel, "but High Grade is one that just stood out. The subject of marijuana is one that has always been popular in our society, especially now with several states trying to legalize it and its use medicinally. I think the topic is great for a movie because it's fun, young, and the script is hilarious. I don't see this being above the other ideas; I just think this is the right one to put out first. I want our fans to enjoy something different and funny; I know this movie fits that mold.
"Seeing my vision come to life in script form is amazing,
Vera Wear has truly turned into their moniker of a fashion-entertainment company; and now with a full length film in pre-production, it looks like the sky may not even be the limit!

Why do we consider sex as ultra-important and some kind of ridiculous rite of passage? (self.AskMen)
11 ups - 5 downs = 6 votes
I'm a 21 year old virgin. I've had two relationships, neither of which have developed to the point of me actually having any sex. As far as this is concerned, I'm really not at all surprised. I'm overwhelming, overweight, and an übermensch of geeks and nerds everywhere (seriously, D&D, science facebook posts, and pokemon4lyf. I even grow a disgusting neckbeard, as a result of being blonde).
That's not what I'm here to talk about, though.
Being a virgin doesn't bother me at all. The fact that men do some kind of virgin shaming bullshit, not unlike slut shaming for women, strikes me as genuinely pathetic of our entire gender. As if someone's self worth should be legitimately generated from their ability, or lack thereof, to stick their dick into somebody. That's just fucking ridiculous. Yet, we still do it! Why do we do that to people? For a long time, I WAS a little ashamed of my situation, but that changed when I stopped and thought "holy crap of all the stupid fucking things to get upset about." I don't see why I should care if women don't like me. I don't see why we should antagonize other men for that. Someone wanna tell me why we should?

Makes about 2 1/2 cups
This Sicilian classic is churned on the eastern part of the island and stirred instead in the west. We have included instructions for both methods.
The granita is (authentically) very tart. Most of us thought it was refreshing, but a couple of sweet-tooth types found it a bit too puckery. If you like your dessert on the sweeter side, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup.
- 2 to 3 large lemons
- 1 cup filtered or bottled still water (not distilled)
- 1/3 cup superfine granulated sugar
With a vegetable peeler remove zest in long pieces from 2 lemons. Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from lemons.
In a small heavy saucepan heat water and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in zest and transfer syrup to a bowl to cool. Chill syrup, covered, until cold. Discard zest and stir in lemon juice.
For eastern-Sicilian granita:
Freeze lemon mixture in an ice-cream maker until spoonable but not crumbly and serve immediately.
For western-Sicilian granita:
Freeze lemon mixture in a metal bowl, stirring every 30 minutes to remove ice crystals from side of bowl, until liquid has become granular but is still slightly slushy, about 3 to 4 hours. Serve granita immediately.

Muse To Headline Isle Of Wight
Muse are confirmed as one of this years' Isle Of Wight festival headliners.
The festival takes place on June 8, 9 and 10 at Newport's Seaclose Park, and Muse, who have just finished a massive Arena tour of the UK, will top the bill on the Saturday.
The band fronted by Matt Bellamy say they are honoured to be chosen to play. They said in a joint press statement that "The past year has been truly amazing for us and performing live is what we're all about. Getting the opportunity to do that at the Isle of Wight Festival is an honour. Some of our biggest heroes played the festival back in the 70's. It's steeped in history and we can't wait to be a part of that."
Other bands confirmed to headline stages at the festival in June are Snow Patrol, Kasabian and Keane.
Other artists so far set to play also include BRIT winners Amy Winehouse and James Morrison, The Fratellis and Wolfmother - as well as Ash, Paolo Nutini and The Feeling.
There are also excited rumours circulating that The Rolling Stones could be announced as a further headliner for this Summer's event.
The last time Mick Jagger and co rocked a festival in the UK was way back in '76 at Knebworth...
Festival promoters Solo commented that "Bands love coming to the island and feeling the tradition. Tennyson was right about it's magical quality."
Tickets for this years' IOW festival go on general sale from Thursday (February 22) at 9am.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF CHINA 1811 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Huan ying, welcome to China and the start of your journey of a life time through the Orient! When you arrive at Beijing airport our local guide and driver await to transfer you to your hotel. The remainder of today is at your leisure.
This morning, we tour the centre of Beijing, China's magnificent capital, including the massive Tian'anmen Square and the sprawling Forbidden City. Boasting some 9999 rooms, the city within a city was once the sole preserve of the Chinese emperors. This afternoon we take a rickshaw ride through the Hutongs of Beijing to see the more traditional side of this mega city.
Today, we drive beyond Beijing to Badaling, to walk a section of the famous Great Wall. Built in the Ming Dynasty, a 6m wide pathway makes a formidable defence, following the highest contours of a steep range of hills. After taking time to catch our breathe we tour a nearby cloisonne workshop demonstrating the ancient Chinese art of combining copper and enamel to make decorative pieces.
Today we enjoy a visit the Emperor's Summer Palace, set on Kunming Lake and the Silk Alley Markets. After we drive past the 2008 Olympic Stadium commonly referred to as the 'Bird's Nest' and Aquatic Centre before boarding our overnight sleeper train to Xian.
Arriving into Xi'an our local team are on hand to assist with transfer and hotel check in. Later we tour the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and take a bicycle ride or walk along Xi'an medieval City Wall.
Consider independently exploring the Muslim Quarter or see the Grand Mosque before your noon flight to Lhasa. Upon arrival to Tibet you will drive (aprox 1.5 hours) to the fabled city of Lhasa. Once you reach Lhasa the remainder of the day is free for you to relax and acclimatize at 'the roof of the world'.
We begin our exploration of this mystical city first heading to Lhasa's most enduring image, the Potala Palace. The Dalai Lama's Summer palace, Norbulingka, is our next place of pilgrimage. Less daunting and surrounded by gardens, this homely palace reflects the Dalai Lama's more earthly pleasures and it was from here the present Lama fled in the 1950's. However, it is the Jokhang Temple which will be the most enlightening stop of the day. The holiest shrine in Tibet, it houses a solid gold shrine of the enlightened Buddha and it is around which, in varying degrees of exertion, all Tibetans prostrate themselves at some point throughout their lifetime.
Our exploration of Lhasa continues today as we take the short journey to the 15th century Drepung Monastery. Formerly one of the central monasteries of Tibet it was torn asunder during the Cultural Revolution and continues to rebuild is walls and status today. Just north of Lhasa is the Sera Monastery, still a working retreat 600 years after its foundation as a main teaching monastery and one of the three great Gelukpa 'Universities' once housing more than 5500 monks. Returning to Lhasa we will experience the Barkhor markets which surround the Jokhang temple and sell all things Tibetan.
An early morning start as we drive out toward the Himalayas. From Lhasa, itself at 3500m, we travel over the Kamba-La pass and reach 4794m above sea level. As we journey along the winding road, weaving our way through the rocky mountains and valleys, in the far distance on a very clear day it maybe possible to catch a glimpse of the High Himalayan Peaks of Everest and Lhotse. From the top of the pass we can look down on the deep azure waters of Yamdrok Lake, cradled by snow capped mountains before dropping down to the shores itself. Rising back into these vivid and rugged mountains we head back to Lhasa, looking for hoards of Yak along the way.
Today you head for the airport and board another flight - this time to Chengdu. Arriving here, a driver will take you onto your hotel.
This morning fly to Jiuzhaigou - a region that for centuries has been inhabited by various Tibetan and Qiang people. Tour the Huanglong Monastery - built during the reign of Ming Emperor Hongwu, it is now a place of worship for the local Tibetan, Han, Qiang and Hui people, all of which have different religious beliefs. Afterwards enjoy a relaxing stroll by the region's famed calcium travertines. Resembling a terraced field, the travertines flow gently into a series of multi-coloured, mineral rich ponds beneath. Onward travel to Jiuzhaigou.
Today is spent exploring the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Reserve. The Jiuzhaigou reserve is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, it's home to densely growing conifers, broadleaf trees and of rare and endangered animal species. Ancient Chinese legend has it that the goddess Semo accidentally smashed her mirror here and the pieces that fell down the mountain formed beautiful lakes, streams and waterfalls. Afterwards, visits will be made to Pearl Beach Falls, Nuorilong Falls and Long Lake. The ever flowing cascade of Nuorilong spans an impressive 320 metres - making it the widest waterfall in all of China.
Morning flight returning to Chengdu. Today we tour Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding a short drive out of town. China's Giant Pandas are considered the most endangered mammal on the planet. Due to a loss of habitat in the Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu Provinces it is estimated that there are less than 1500 giant pandas remaining in the wild - 80% of which are located in Sichuan Provence.
Driving to Leshan your morning is spent exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Dafo (Great Buddha), which is carved into the red sandstone face of Lingyun Hill overlooking the treacherous confluence of the Min, Qingyi and Dadu rivers below it. It is standing at Dafo's huge 8m feet that you can really appreciate the scale of one of the world's largest Buddhas. Talking numbers, his ears droop 7m, his shoulders span 28m and his nose measures a whopping 5.6m! Later you return to the city, where you can enjoy some free time to explore.
Today you will be taken to the station for the express train to Chongqing, where on arrival we will transfer you to your hotel.
Spend the morning at leisure in this interesting city, the start point for our exciting Yangtze River cruise. Before boarding the cruise in the evening your guide will take you on a stroll along Chongqing's People's Square, in the city centre.
Good morning from the River Yangtze! At 6340km in length, the Yangtze is the 3rd longest river in the world, neatly dividing China into north and south and wending its way through eight very different provinces. Whilst cruising over today and tomorrow, shore excursions are offered at no additional expense to Shibaozhai and Shennong stream, with its unique scenery and four natural gorges. Drift serenely along the stream in small, open 'pea pod boats', looking out upon lush greenery, jagged peaks and ancient villages of the Tujia people - one of the local ethnic minorities.
Disembarking from our cruise in Yichang at 11:30, we drive to the airport for your flight to Shanghai. Here, meet our driver who is waiting to take you onto your hotel.
Today you tour many of the city's top spots - Yu Gardens and Bazaar- Shanghai's finest traditional garden, the Bund, Pudong and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Jade Buddha Temple and take a cruise along the Huangpu River.
A short train journey East is Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. The charming city boasts extensive waterways and canals dotted with traditional bridges, houses and gardens. A cruise on the Grand Canal exposes Suzhou's beauty, as does our exploration of the humble administrator's house and garden. We return in the evening back to the big city.
Today we take to the sky once more on a flight to Guilin. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel is on hand.
This morning your Li River cruise departs from downtown Guilin for a full day's excursion. The 90 Km Li River cruise is the centerpiece of any trip to northeastern Guangxi Province. Gorgeous Karst peaks give you surprises at each bend of the limpid river under the blue sky. Bear witness to rural China as peasants reap rice paddies, school kids and fisherman float by on bamboo rafts. After passing many world renown sights such as Elephant Trunk Hill, Pagoda Hill and more you arrive in to Yangshuo where you will get to explore the famous west street, before returning to your Guilin hotel.
This morning you pay a visit to The Reed Flute Cave, where there are enchanting stalagmites, stone pillars, stele, stone curtains and stone flowers. Then we continue on to Elephant Trunk Hill Located at the confluence of the Taohua (Peach Blossom) River and the Li River, this Hill is too famous to be missed. Later we head off to the station and assist with your embarkation of the Guanghzou bound sleeper train.
Arriving into Guangzhou you will be take to the international terminal for the train to Hong Kong. Arriving here in Kowloon, walk the short distance to your hotel on your own.
The end of your oriental journey is here, make your own way to the airport for your onward journey.

Down on pit road, all eyes were glued on the track, every ear tuned to the radio headsets connecting them to their drivers. In the No. 36 stall, Wendy Parker, Hank's bride of three months, sat unmoving, one hand over her mouth, the other pressing the headphone to her ear. Finally — "I'm OK! I'm OK! I don't have a scratch on me. I don't know how, but I missed the whole thing. There's no damage to the car!" "Great piece of driving, Hank!" said Cogswell. "Just hang in there." When the dust settled, 27 cars were towed off the track, and the race continued with just 13 cars left to battle it out. Parker maneuvered the No. 36 car into fourth place and settled there, waiting for his chance to move ahead. He was running strong, and hopes were building among the crew for the season's first win. But those hopes were soon dashed. In avoiding the massive pileup, Parker had put enormous pressure on the brake pedal. It snapped as he pulled in for his second pit stop of the race. Instead of the 16-second stop they had hoped for, the crew found themselves scrambling to install a new pedal — a task that cost them 15 precious minutes and any chance of a win. Though disappointed, rear-tire changer Ira-Jo Hussey was pragmatic. "That's NASCAR racing," he said, shrugging. "Stuff happens. No time to dwell on it. We're off to California." Never Enough Time Off to California, then to New Hampshire, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina. "The biggest problem in training a NASCAR pit crew is the constant traveling," says "Personal Trainer" columnist David Hawk, who's working with the GNC Live Well No. 36 crew. "They're at home just three days a week, and then they're working 12-hour days getting the cars ready for the next race. It's very hard for them to work out even two days a week during the season." By now, David knows all about the trials and tribulations that a NASCAR pit crew faces in their quest for fitness. When GNC took over sponsorship of the No. 36 car more than a year ago, the pit crew was not in good physical shape. Their average pit stop was 19 sec, and in a sport where speed is everything, that's moving slower than Aunt Fanny. Granted they were changing four tires and filling the gas tank in that time, but they needed to shave off some seconds to be competitive. Knowing that a fitter pit crew would be a faster pit crew, GNC commissioned David to design a fitness program for the guys. He had his work cut out for him: Several crew members were overweight, and they all needed to gain muscle and strength. Fast food was their main diet. After spending time with them at the track and during their practice sessions to learn what their individual jobs entailed, David designed a complete workout, diet and supplementation program that he hoped would fit into their busy workweek.
RTD 40 from MET-Rx These ready-to-drink shakes contain 40 gm of protein and a precise ration of 26 vitamins and minerals. They are crew favorites because of their convenience and unique flavors.
Xenadrine from Cytodyne Technologies The thermogenic actions of Xenadrine are well-documented. In a recent study reported in Current Therapeutic Research, subjects taking Xenadrine showed fat-loss results 38.6 times greater than subjects using diet and exercise. In addition to its fat-burning properties, Xenadrine provides a significant energy boost.
Z-Mass PM from Cytodyne Technologies Z-Mass PM is an anabolic supplement that stimulates muscle growth, increases free testosterone levels and stimulates natural growth hormone production.
AquaLean Fitness Water from Pinnacle AquaLean is water with a twist. It contains blueberry extract and anti-oxidants that enhance thermogenesis and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It's also popular for what it doesn't contain: no calories, no carbs and no caffeine.
TRAC Creatine from Maximum Human Performance Trac Creatine is a sugar-free, timed-release creatine that doesn't require loading. It also contains arginine, which works as a vasodilator, allowing muscles to engorge with blood and stimulating growth.
Ripping Gel from Urban Biologics This fat-emulsifying gel designed for use on the abs penetrates into the skin and dissolves surface fat, providing better definition.
"From the beginning, time was an issue," David remembers. "These guys build the cars from the ground up, and even in the off-season they work long hours. Then, there's the problem of sticking to a diet on the road, where fast food is the main fare. I was able to come up with some alternatives for them, such as a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a hamburger. Of course, the protein shakes and bars helped a lot. The guys jumped right into the program, and I was surprised by the quick progress they made in spite of the difficulties."
Throughout the year, David adjusted the program to the guys' changing fitness needs. As they trimmed down and built muscle, he added individual exercises to the weight routine that concentrated on the requirements of each job. "It was a challenge to come up with a workout that would give them overall strength and conditioning, and would also concentrate on the individual bodyparts that each job required — especially since they had only 45 minutes twice a week." Yet a larger challenge was in store. When the new season began in February, time became an even bigger obstacle. "Busch Series races are usually on Saturday," says gas man Art Harris. "The car has to be at the track several days early, so we usually leave Wednesday night and come back on Sunday. Getting in two workouts a week is almost impossible." Despite their busy schedules, Harris says the crew felt it was important to maintain the fitness edge they had gained in working with David. "I joined the crew just a few months ago, so I haven't been on David's program long. But I've already lost 13 pounds of fat and gained lean muscle. I can see what the program has done for the other guys, too. Jim Kent is a better jack man because of it. He's much stronger and more agile," says Harris. The crew asked David if he could design a once-a-week workout that would keep them performing at their peak. Oh, yeah, and they had to be able to finish it in one hour, so they could get back to work. Once again, David rose to the challenge. One-Day Fitness "For a once-a-week maintenance program to be effective, it's necessary to hit all major bodyparts. But with our time constraints, we could work in just one or two exercises per bodypart," says David.
In deciding which exercises to incorporate, David says he chose the ones that would be most helpful to the guys in the pits. "I'm having them do the wide-grip bench press and dumbbell flye, because the tire carriers have to have a strong wide grip to be able to pick up the tire in a bear hug and move it into position quickly. The back exercises are designed to strengthen the lower lumbar region, because all of the guys work bending over. The equipment they have to lift — tires, jacks, gas cans — has to be maneuvered in this awkward position, and their backs need to be able to take that punishment without injury."
The program includes just one biceps and one triceps exercise. David chose the hammer curl for the biceps because the equipment is gripped more in the hammer position than in a curling position. The machine dip was chosen because this triceps exercise is similar to the movement of pushing the jack down or pushing the tire onto the car. "These are the exercises I feel are most important for every job category," he says. "This training is as good for a jack man as it is for a gas-can man or a tire changer or tire carrier." The exercises are performed in drop sets, starting with heavier weight for 10 reps, immediately lowering the weight for 12 reps, and lowering it again and doing reps to failure. This keeps the guys moving throughout the workout, saving time as well as building their cardiovascular strength. "The objective of this workout is not bodybuilding or even to lose body fat or get in better shape," David explains. "The goal is to maintain the conditioning and strength that the guys have gained over the last year and to improve their performance in the pits."
Warm up on the bike or treadmill for 10 minutes. Then do a good warm-up set of each exercise, followed by 1 drop set. Drop sets consist of 3 sets done with only enough rest to change the weight. Start with a heavy weight and do 10 reps, immediately lower the weight and do 12 reps, then lower the weight again and go for 15 reps or to failure. Stretch between each exercise.
Chest Wide-grip incline bench press — 10, 12, 15 reps Dumbbell flye — 10, 12, 15 reps Back Wide-grip barbell row — 10, 12, 15 reps Medium-grip deadlift — 10, 12, 15 reps Shoulders Alternating dumbbell front raise — 10, 12, 15 reps Medium-grip upright row — 10, 12, 15 reps Triceps Machine dip — 10, 12, 15 reps Biceps Hammer curl (both arms at once) — 10, 12, 15 reps Hamstrings Lying leg curl — 10, 12, 15 reps Thighs Leg extension — 10, 12, 15 reps Wide-stance machine squat — 10, 12, 15 reps Adductor — 10, 12, 15 reps Abductor — 10, 12, 15 reps Calves Standing calf raise — 10, 12, 15 reps Abs 2 giant sets of: Decline crunch — 30 reps Leg lift — 30 reps Cable oblique pull-down — 30 reps Cardio: 20 to 30 minutes on a treadmill or exercise bike
A Force to Be Reckoned With The strategy seems to be paying off. Asked about his crew before the Talladega race, Parker was full of praise. "This crew is fantastic. They've gone from averaging 19 seconds in the pits to an average of 16 seconds. And I see them just getting better as the season goes on." Harris agrees: "The team has really come together. We're averaging 13-second pit stops in practice, which translates to 15 or 16 seconds on the track. The car's running well, and Hank's a super driver. We are a force to be reckoned with."
During the weeks when the pit crew has time to do more than the usual one-day program, David recommended that they try adding the following workout.
After joining the guys in their workout, freelance writer and firefighter Lynne Hall says, "Now I know why they're in such good shape!"

WEEI NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: Patriots charge to No. 1 | 12.13.12 at 7:14 am ET |
The mighty have fallen. After seven straight weeks occupying the top two spots, the Texans (4) and Falcons (5) no longer can be called the two best teams in the league. The Patriots surge all the way to the No. 1 spot for the first time this season after a dominating Monday night performance. The 49ers (2) and Broncos (3) round out the new top three.
The Seahawks (9) finally break into the top 10 after winning four of their last five games. Their impressive play of late has catapulted them in front of both the Bears (10) and Steelers (12). The Colts are another team that continues to inch closer into the league's elite. Andrew Luck has Indy (11) poised to make a playoff appearance after the team won just two games last year.
The top two teams in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings rarely play each other, not to mention in December, but we'll get to watch the regular-season version of the Super Bowl this Sunday night. That's not the only top-10 matchup we'll see in Week 15. The Broncos (3) play the Ravens (8), and the Giants (7) will take on the Falcons (5). We're in for another interesting week of pro football.
1. (3) Patriots (10-3) ' The Patriots defense did what it had to do: improve. Bill Belichick's D held the Texans to just 14 points. The only other team in the league that was able to hold Houston to fewer points was the Bears. Under Tom Brady, the Pats have won a remarkable 20 straight home games in the month of December. Super Bowl-caliber teams get better in December and that's just what New England is doing once again.
2. (4) 49ers (9-3-1) ' The relentless 49ers defense is at the top of the league in pass defense, run defense and points allowed. Sunday night's matchup pits the best defense in the league against the best offense. Football fans are in for a treat.
3. (5) Broncos (10-3) ' The way Knowshon Moreno has been able to step up and fill Willis McGahee's shoes is very encouraging for Broncos fans. With Peyton Manning at the helm, an effective run game makes the Broncos offense extremely difficult to defend against.
4. (1) Texans (11-2) ' Are the Texans good enough to rebound from a loss like this? Their pass defense has officially been exposed. On a big stage, the Texans crumbled. Stupid penalties, turnovers and an overall lack of competitiveness has many across the NFL questioning if this team is as good as its record indicates.
5. (2) Falcons (11-2) ' The Falcons have a tremendous opportunity this Sunday to prove to the NFC that they are an elite team. The defending Super Bowl champion Giants will be in Atlanta and both teams have a lot on the line.
6. (7) Packers (9-4) ' Green Bay has won seven of its last eight and has come storming back to take control of the NFC North. Aaron Rodgers has been terrific, though it has been production from the run game over the last two weeks that has made a huge difference on offense for Green Bay.
7. (8) Giants (8-5) ' Keep an eye on the NFC East race and the Giants. New York travels to Atlanta and Baltimore the next two weeks while the Redskins and Cowboys are just one game back and hold a better divisional record.
8. (6) Ravens (9-4) ' It's never a good sign for a playoff team to fire its offensive coordinator in December. Unlike the Patriots and Broncos, the Ravens have played worse as the season has progressed. If recent play is any sign, the Ravens look to be on track for falling just short of the Super Bowl once again.
9. (11) Seahawks (8-5) ' There have to be many organizations out there that are extremely jealous of the Seahawks' recent success. This is a team that not only drafted a quarterback in the third round but started him over Matt Flynn after signing the former backup to a three-year deal. Teams struggling to find a quarterback like the Cardinals, Jets and Bills must be envious. Russell Wilson has played outstanding of late. In his last five games, he's thrown 10 touchdowns and just one interception.
10. (9) Bears (8-5) ' Jay Cutler's health is imperative to the Bears' success. Everyone watched the Bears go 1-5 last year at the end of the season when Cutler was injured. The starting QB has been sacked 31 times this year and already has suffered a concussion. The offensive line has to get better if this team is going to be successful. Chicago has dropped four of its last five.
Bruce Arians: 'You really can't prepare' for what Patriots secondary will be | 11.15.12 at 11:37 am ET |
FOXBORO — The working assumption this season has been that any team taking on the Patriots will attack the secondary by all means necessary.
And for the most part, that's been a pretty good idea. The Seahawks and Ravens won games because of it. The Jets and Bills should have.
But for interim head coach Bruce Arians and the Colts, looks can be deceiving. Especially when the personnel could change drastically with an impact player like Aqib Talib.
"Yeah, we played him [in] Tampa Bay two years ago," Arians said of his 2010 experience as the Steelers offensive coordinator. "I know how talented he is and he's got a good passion for the game and he'll be a great addition I think to them."
Whereas Bill Belichick said Arians has transplanted the Steelers offense to Indianapolis, the same could not be said for Arians and his thoughts on the corner since he has no idea how Belichick plans to use him in the Patriots scheme.
"There's nothing that I could go show them that I know he is going to do in this defense," Arians said. "I don't even know where he's going to line up. So it would be hard. I think we would just be asking our guys to over-study.
"You don't know if Patrick [Patrick Chung] is going to play, you don't know if Aqib is going to play, you just know the coverages and the things that they've been doing and then what they've done in the past. You try to get your guys ready to play and really concentrate on their own games as much as you do on the opponent's games. That part of it, until you see who's active and who's inactive, you really can't prepare."
One player Arians has film of in a Patriots uniform is Devin McCourty, both as a corner and a safety. How much different do the Pats look with McCourty at safety as opposed to corner and how does that alter his preparation heading into the game?
"It really doesn't," Arians said. "There's going to be a blue jersey with whatever number on it playing safety and there's going to be one playing corner. He is an excellent athlete and when one of your top corners is playing safety you would think there would be a drop off at corner and I think Patrick Chung is an outstanding safety, so there's a change there. I really couldn't say either way. Like I said, we'll get ready for their coverages and wherever they end up lined up and whoever is out there we'll see at game time and then prepare to attack."
As for 481 yards the Patriots allowed to the Bills last week? Arians was very tactical in his answer about the weaknesses New England has shown.
"I would throw the statistics out because they've got 23 turnovers," he said. "And when you lead the league in turnover ratio by 16, you're going to be in first place. They've always been a bend-don't-break group and feasted on turnovers ever since I could remember. There were only a few years when they were totally dominant, but they've always been as well coached as anybody in this league. Interceptions, fumbles, kick returns, fake kicks, they've got it all and Coach Belichick does as good a job putting his players in position to be successful, offensively and defensively, as anybody that's ever coached the game."

Bill Belichick: Bruce Arians has Colts looking a lot like old Steelers offense | 11.14.12 at 9:54 pm ET |
Bill Belichick said Wednesday that the new-look Colts offense bears more than a passing resemblance to how Pittsburgh has operated the last few years. That's no surprise, given the fact that Indy's offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was with the Steelers from 2004 through last year, serving as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator from 2007 until 2011.
Belichick was asked how much of the Pittsburgh offense he sees in what the Colts do.
'A lot. A lot. That's their offense,' Belichick said. 'We played [Pittsburgh] when [Bruce] Arians was there, so we're familiar with what he did. Those games, [we're] familiar with how he attacked us. I'm sure you use those games as somewhat of a reference.'
According to Belichick, some of the carryover can be seen at the wide receiver position, where Arians has veteran Reggie Wayne doing many of them same things that Hines Ward did when he was with Pittsburgh.
'They moved [Wayne] around a little in the past — but not much — and now he's Hines Ward,' Belichick said. 'He's in motion a lot, he's blocking, he's cracking, he's lining up close to the formation, he's in the slot. He's doing a lot of things that Hines Ward did in Pittsburgh. It's interesting to see him in that role, but he's always been good at whatever he's done. You see him working the middle of the field on middle reads, on option routes, that kind of thing or working on the perimeter. He's good at all of it.'

Clearly, the best method to lose weight is through dieting and regulation of food intake with an increase in physical activity (exercise). In fact, many dieting programs are very successful at helping people lose weight.
However, the main problem is in maintaining the new lower weight. Less than 25 percent of people who start a weight loss diet program will lose 40 pounds or more and maintain it for one year. In fact, most patients regain all the weight they lost. This failure of weight maintenance occurs because the diets are very difficult to adhere to. Foods are frequently non-tasty, all one type or mostly liquids.
Surgery may be an option when dieting programs are unable to help a person achieve and maintain the weight loss.

Officers' Quarters: Surviving as a small guild {WoW}
Dec 20th 2010 3:24PM Same problem here. I am an officer in a guild of really good friends. Our guild has a current roster of about 115 (just kicked about 30 characters for not loggin in for the last year.) The same goes for us as aelastain, i would say that well over 50% of those are alts of alts of alts. We are lucky if we have more than 4 guildies logged on at any given time. At Cata's launch we were having no trouble hitting the xp cap but now that most of us regulars (once again, 4 of us) have hit 85 and moving away from the majority of time spent quest, and are more focused on farming and dungeon running here and there. I feel the pain for those of you in our situation and i hope we can find some sort way to attract new members.

Workplace violence is a very hot topic right now. Whether you're thinking of the recent shootings at the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris, France, the shootings of two Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers in Edmonton, Alberta, the attacks against nurses and other healthcare workers that are making the news in Canada and the United States, or the poor treatment of workers in many factories and other work environments through-out the world - workplace violence most definitely deserves your attention.

Running Rake Tasks in the Background with Monit
In my last post, I had briefly talked about how I ran a rake task in the background to accomplish the twitter worker functionality. After the course of a couple of weeks, I've got a couple of updates to that process, so that hopefully, you'll have an easier time of running a rake task continuously in the background.
Use Monit instead of god for monitoring
I started with god to monitor my rake task. It was very easy to setup, almost too easy. After a couple of weeks, I started to notice that the god process was starting to leak memory all over the place. I'll qualify this by saying that I use slicehost for hosting tweetrics. I've seen some messages on the slicehost boards that talk about how god doesn't work well on the VMs. That being said, I had to switch to something else. Enter Monit. I didn't have that much experience using Monit so, I had a learning experience in front me. I found some instructions on the web on how to install Monit, which were fairly painless. Within a few minutes, I had everything installed. Now onto getting the rake tasks setup.
Setup the monitrc file
The next step in setting up monit to handle my background task was setting up the monit control file. This is analogous to setting up the configuration file that you'd use with god to handle the monitoring of your processes. I have to admit that the syntax for the monit control file was relatively straight forward. To make things even easier, I found this post from Ilya Grigorik. I copied the monitrc file and put it in my config directory of my merb project. Although Ilya's post was directed toward using mongrel with monit, all I needed to do was change the start and stop program lines to something like this:
start program = "/path/to/bash/script start" stop program = "/path/to/bash/script stop"The purpose of these lines are to start an stop the rake tasks, which leads us to the next step.
Create the bash script to handle the startup of your rake task
Since rake tasks are not daemonized and do not create their own pid files, we'll have to set that up. Time to setup a bash script. I couldn't do this part without looking through the FAQs on the Monit site, more specifically what to do to set up a script for processes that don't create pid files. I'm not the best person when it comes to creating bash scripts, so finding this information in the FAQ was a big help. Now came the part for creating the rake specific parts:
#!/bin/bash export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems case $1 in start) cd /path/to/merb/root/directory; echo $$ > /path/to/log/metrics_gen_master.pid /path/to/rake twitter:metrics_gen MERB_ENV=production ;; stop) kill `cat /path/to/file/metrics_gen.ppid` kill `cat /path/to/file/metrics_gen.pid` kill `cat /path/to/file/metrics_gen_master.pid` rm -rf /path/to/pid/files ;; *) echo "usage: twitter_worker {start|stop}" ;; esac exit 0Important notes:
- In your rake task, make sure that you save the pid and the ppid to a file.
`echo "#{Process.pid}" > #{Merb.root}/log/metrics_gen.pid` `echo "#{Process.ppid}" > #{Merb.root}/log/metrics_gen.ppid`
This is important because we'll need to stop the rake processes.
- If you're running monit using init be careful of permissions.
Since my rake task loaded the merb environment, it would be running as root and would write to merb.main.pid. If I restarted apache, passenger could not write to the file merb.main.pid and would throw errors instead of running the app.
- Don't use & when invoking your rake task!
By using & in the bash script, the rake task will get forked and and the incorrect pid will get written to file. Trust me, I spent a lot of time on this one.
Run it!
Not much I can say here other than take the time to really extensively test your monit script. The log output can be found at /var/log/monit.log. Also, make sure you run it with sudo if you are going to use init.

We ask Allaah to bless you with a speedy recovery.
Because this bleeding is caused by sickness, your fast is still valid, and you do not have to do anything even if the blood is a large amount, so long as it comes out without you doing anything (to cause it).
The guidelines concerning the blood that invalidates the fast are as follows:
1 â If the blood comes out as the result of a personâs actions or choice; this is subject to further discussion:
(i) If the blood comes out by means of cupping, this invalidates the fast, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âThe cupper and the one to whom cupping is done both break their fast.â
(ii) If it comes out by a means other than cupping, such as venesection (opening a vein). If the amount is large and that has an effect on the personâs body, then this invalidates his fast (such as donating blood). If the amount is small and it does not harm the person, then it does not invalidate his fast, such as the small amount of blood that is taken for testing.
2 â If the blood comes out through no deliberate action, such as an accident or nosebleed or an injury to any part of the body, his fast is still valid even if the amount of blood is large.
This is the summary of a fatwa issued by Shaykh Ibn âUthaymeen. See Fataawa Islamiyyah, 2/132
But if the blood that comes out through no deliberate action is of such a large amount that he becomes weak and unable to fast, then it is permissible for him to break his fast and he should fast another day to make up for it.

The campaign will run in the traditional trade and online venues, as well as on taxi tops and in Times Square. It was dreamed up by its in-house marketing and creative executives.
One of the campaign's tag lines, "We don't sell pages. We sell attention," was clearly front of mind at the company's Digital Showcase Wednesday, given the recent shift in focus on many of its Web sites from page views to "engagement." This coincides with a decision by Nielsen/NetRatings last month to give measurement of time spent on a site more weight than simple page view rankings. Even before the Nielsen move, some Time Inc. sites already had begun to shift their emphasis from breaking news to video content and social media, as shown in presentations from people.com's Mark Golin, si.com's Paul Fichtenbaum and Southern Progress Corp. representatives. Executive vice president John Squires acknowledged that, while those brands have made fairly natural transitions online, it is more "difficult to consider a unique position online" for a site like time.com, relaunched in January, though he hopefully pointed to that site's blogs.
Time Inc. also is beginning to package its principal 15 Web titles — those that have seen the most investment so far — as a group buy. The digital future was touted as the company's savior in an earnings conference call, also Wednesday, during which Time Warner chairman and chief executive officer Dick Parsons said that just about every quarter, he is asked about Time Inc.'s future within the group. His answer hasn't changed: He said the company is committed to the division and is "focusing on the titles that can have a life in the online space." Publishing revenues of $1.3 billion were essentially flat for the second quarter, reflecting higher ad revenues, offset by lower "other" revenues. Operating income rose 13 percent to $256 million, based on an increase before depreciation and amortization.

Our Food
Liquor Store
Inspired by many a run down street corner liquor store punters can immerse themselves in the ambiance of industrialised, honest reclaimed materials where the only thing you can be certain of is the brilliance of flavour combinations from this bar and kitchen.
The Liquor Store; that originally traded as a pop up; is a boozy burger bar serving up our own brand of burgers, hard liquor, cold beers and an ever evolving cocktail bar focusing on premium liquor using the freshest ingredients upending modern and classic cocktails and spiking them with calimocho, chilli and hibiscus. Where the cocktails are concerned, it's the more weird, wonderful and wacky the better but what you do get is crafted with love and one to remember.
Our drinking den menu specialises in mostly burgers – Meaty Bitch, Krispy Kreme Burger, Mac N Cheese Burger and others too; using a formula of juicy beef patties, minced in house from prime cuts of 28 day hung Scottish meat with plenty of cheese, bacon, peanut butter (aye! peanut butter) and attitude thrown in for good measure.
Not one for the faint hearted glaze over our Meat Sweats carnivore platter – stacked with 8oz beef ribs, braised, roasted and char-grilled to perfection; baby back pork ribs smothered in jack daniels bbq glaze. Juicy beef sliders with cheese and garnished with spicy slaw and red onion pickle- feast your eyes and belly on this!
For those who are a bit burgered out there's Chilli Cheese Dogs, Chicken N Chips and Peppered Meat Buns. The Bingo Wings and Baby Back Ribs are addictive as hell though. Cheap eats for you to scoff at the bar take your pick of these; Disco Fries, Mac N Cheese, Sliders or get down and dirty without the guilt, with our Sleazy Salad.
Safe to say that Bath Street & Saint Judes has never seen anything like this, an atmosphere to immerse yourself in a boozy, culinary journey that will open you up to exploration, temptation and obscurity.
Opening hours: Tues: 4pm-1am; Wed-Sat: 12pm-1am.

Price, Boston's eighth-round pick in the 2010 Draft out of Virginia Tech, received a 50-game suspension after a second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse.
The 22-year-old will begin serving the ban immediately.
Price, who has not appeared in a Minor League game this season, debuted with Boston last year when he appeared in three games for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox and Class A Greenville Drive, striking out four in 3 1/3 innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery in October 2010.
Minor Leaguers are warned after testing positive for a drug of abuse and then suspended after a second violation. The Commissioner's Office does not disclose the specific substance in these cases. Substances considered "drugs of abuse" by Major League Baseball include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, LSD, ecstasy and other opiates.
The Marietta, Ga., native was originally drafted by Atlanta in 2008 but did not sign, instead going to Virginia Tech, where he went 7-4 with a 4.95 ERA and 85 strikeouts over 91 innings in 17 games (15 starts) as a sophomore in 2010, leading the Hokies in wins and innings. He's currently on the 7-Day Disabled List for Greenville.
Price is the 40th player to be suspended for violating the Minor League drug program this calendar year and the third player this week.

Hi everyone, my kitchen will have a 39 inch sink base which is overkill but it worked better for the design so there weren't any filler pieces. I've been looking at sinks and am excited about the Blanco silgranit type sink as I think it will be easier to keep looking clean. I'm having a hard time finding a sink that takes advantage of the wide space I have but isn't crazy deep. The Blanco Perfoma 1.75 looks great and I love the low divide but it's 10 inches deep. My granite will be 3 cm deep and I'm 5'6" tall. My current sink is a drop in and measuring from the top of the sink (which is about 0.5 inches higher than the countertop) to the bottom it's about 9 inches. I'm comfortable with that. If I had the Performa I would be about 3 inches deeper. That seems like a lot, but I don't do dishes by hand just rinse them off so maybe it's not that big of a deal. So has anyone seen a silgranit type sink that's wide but not as deep? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by justmakeit (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 15:15
This actually was one of the reasons I decided not to go with a silgranit sink, despite its allure. I'm also 5'6", and I know that a sink deeper than 9" just spells backache for me. I ended up going with a custom ss sink (for a lot of other reasons too), and had to fight with the KD to make the sink only 8 inches deep. I'm happy I kept it a reasonable depth. I think the general tide on GW is strongly pro-silgranite, whatever the depth. |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 15:30
I am 5'8" and I was really concerned about the 10" depth of the Silgranite sink. My old sink was overmount and only 8 1/2" deep. So, I got the bottom grids. They raise the bottom of the sink a bit. In actuality, I am really loving the depth. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 15:59
I'm also 5'6 and have a smaller Silgranite that is 8" deep. I don't see why they even make a deeper sink than that. With the width of your sink, it'd take forever to put a few inches of water in it. Our new faucet is much slower than the old too. Might take most of an evening to fill your sink! |
- Posted by pseudochef (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 20:45
I must be missing something. What exactly are the grids on the bottom of the sink for? May_flowers, too funny about it taking all evening to fill the bowl :) I never do dishes by hand so I never fill the bowl. I do plan on giving baths to the new baby in the new sink though so there might be a little soaking there. |
- Posted by ellabee_2016 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 21:18
The grid on the sink base makes it an inch shallower, for one thing. It also creates a work surface that allows you to use water in the sink without disturbing the other work going on (because water just moves beneath the grid). For example: draining yogurt, straining/cooling stock, draining salted eggplant, rinsing udon noodles, etc. Replacing our old chipped enamel double sink with a big single sink with grid effectively doubled the amount of prep and working space available to me. Like the original poster, I'd prefer a sink an inch or even two shallower than the one I have (Blanco Silgranit Diamond super single), but the grid makes it tolerable. I keep a small plastic tub in the cabinet underneath the sink, often to use upside down as a base to scrub a piece of cookware, which lets me do it without bending. The rest of the time, right side up, it's a basin for hand washing silver or glassware. For my situation, the advantages of the material and the shape of the sink (with grid and pulldown sprayer-faucet) outweighed the disadvantage of more depth than I'd like. |

The Kauai Bus offers modified routes during Kalihiwai Bridge closure | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Kauai Bus will be offering modified service to and from Princeville and Hanalei on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week due to the scheduled closure of the Kalihiwai Bridge in Kilauea.
The Kalihiwai Bridge will be closed between 5p.m. and 7 p.m. on both Tuesday, April 3 and Wednesday, April 4. To accommodate the closure, The Kauai Bus announces the following route modifications:
- The Route 500 bus scheduled to leave Lihue at 3:25 p.m. will be transferring all Hanalei-bound passengers onto a shuttle at the Kilauea Gym. This shuttle will serve as the last bus into Hanalei prior to the road closure, arriving in Hanalei at about 4:50 p.m.
- The Route 500 buses scheduled to leave Lihue at 3:55 p.m., 4:25 p.m. and 5:25 p.m. must end in Kilauea.
- The Route 400 buses must begin from Kilauea to Lihue, leaving Kilauea at 5:31 p.m. and 6:31 p.m.
- During the road closure, bus service between Hanalei and Princeville will be provided as scheduled, with the exception of the 5:10 p.m. Princeville to Hanalei run which has been cancelled.
The State Department of Transportation earlier announced the Kalihiwai Bridge closure due to a tree trimming and removal process that is causing a potential safety hazard along the bridge as a result of the heavy rains that occurred on Kauai last month.
