The Background: The unnamed editors of the revision say they chose to use and retitle the King James Version to the Queen James Version because of the "obvious gay link to King James, known amongst friends and courtiers as 'Queen James' because of his many gay lovers."
The website for the "big, fabulous Bible" claims that homosexuality was first mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version:
There is no mention of or reference to homosexuality in any Bible prior to this---only interpretations have been made. Anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin; Eight verses in a book of thousands!
Ironically, the site explains that they didn't completely remove the offending verses because, "Revelation says not to 'edit the book,' and people often extend that to mean the entire Bible, not just the book of Revelation." The editors then go on to say, "We edited the Bible to prevent homophobic interpretations. We made changes to eight verses."
An example of one of their edits is Romans 1:27. Here is the verse in the KJV:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And here is the new QJV translation:
Men with men working that which is pagan and unseemly. For this cause God gave the idolators up unto vile affections, receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
What It Means: In 1807 an English physician named Thomas Bowdler published The Family Shakspeare (sic), an edition of Shakespeare's works edited to remove some of the more objectionable content and phrases. Bowdler's work was designed to provide a more "appropriate" version of the classic texts for 19th-century women and children. In the preface to his work Bowdler announced his desire to make Shakespeare accessible "without incurring the danger of falling unawares among words and expressions which are of such a nature as to raise a blush on the cheek of modesty." His name later became a verb, bowdlerize, and synonymous with expurgation of literature.
How times have changed. In our politically correct age, texts are bowlderized not because they contain works and expressions "which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family" but rather because they offend the sensibilities of those who wish to engage in and apologize for immoral behavior.
What will we see next in this line of bowlderized bibles? Will we soon see a Emma Bovary Version that scrubs all references to adultery? A New Lucifer Translation that removes any references to pride? A Gordon Gekko Study Bible that teaches "greed is good?"
Perhaps instead of trying to justify one's sinful behavior, the editors of the QJV should have spent more time reflecting on Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 4:1-2:
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Ron Lambert was killed in a horrific drunk driving crash last June on PTH 384 near Moose Lake.
Credits: HANDOUT PHOTO
WINNIPEG -- A Moose Lake, MB, man who killed his friend in a horrific drunk-driving crash while speeding home from a liquor store will spend the next five years in prison.
Kelvin Knight, 47, will serve a sentence of 5.5 years after previously pleading guilty to impaired driving causing Ron Lambert's death and impaired driving causing bodily harm.
Knight had two prior impaired-driving convictions at the time of the fatal June 9, 2011, rollover near Moose Lake.
RCMP found his blood-alcohol level to be .29 -- well over three times the legal limit. He had no driver's licence.
After a day of drinking, Knight, his sister and Lambert, 40, were making the 65-kilometre trip back home from a booze run, provincial court Judge Larry Allen wrote in a recent decision.
"I kept telling him to slow down, but he wouldn't listen," Knight's sister later told RCMP.
Just north of Moose Lake, Knight's speeding vehicle left the road and rolled several times.
RCMP encountered an intoxicated Knight and his sibling -- both injured -- walking on the road.
Both initially told an RCMP officer they were certain there was no one else in the vehicle and Knight said his sister was driving, Allen said.
The woman eventually took a cop aside and said Lambert was also in the car and that it was Knight behind the wheel.
Lambert was found by police in the bush about 40 feet away from the crash site. He was conscious, but died in hospital days later.
Data from the vehicle showed six seconds before the air bags deployed, Knight was travelling at 136 km/h in an 80 km/h zone and didn't hit the brakes, Allen said.
"Mr. Knight's crime was not spontaneous. It was conducted over a relatively long drive," Allen said. "Mr. Knight had a lengthy period to recognize that what he was doing was dangerous. This was not a momentary lapse of judgment."
Knight, whom Allen accepted hails from a disadvantaged aboriginal community and has a troubled background, filed several letters of support from people who worked with him at a rehab facility.
Knight lived and underwent extensive treatment at the facility after being released on bail in November.
The victim's wife also told the Crown she felt Knight had suffered from what happened and didn't necessarily want him behind bars, Allen said.
However, the seriousness of Knight's conduct outweighed factors in his favour, Allen ruled.
Allen also barred Knight from driving anywhere in Canada for 15 years.

The New Rules for Your Cell Phone at Work
When your cell phone accompanies you to the office, it's no longer a toy. Make sure it acts like a grownup and doesn't distract others from work.
That's a message we hear frequently nowadays, as people try to figure out how to politely integrate their new technology into the workplace. But what constitutes good manners? In a recent story in the New York Times, writer Eilene Zimmerman offered these tips:
- Work is for work, so don't play games on your phone or update your Facebook status.
- During meetings, turn off the gadget or leave it back at your desk. You don't want to appear distracted.
- If you must make a personal call at work, find a private place to talk. Hallways and stairwells are not private.
- Don't walk around the office wearing your wireless headset. Other people don't want to look at you while you're blinking.
Anything else to add to the list (or delete from it)? How do people use their cell phones at your office? Is it a help or hindrance to getting work done?

AHHHHHHHHHh ahahahahahahahahah! Hey, speaking of this video, how excited is everyone for the release of The Three Stooges this weekend? I'm not joking, I'm so excited. That movie looks incredible. That is the word I think makes the most sense to describe that movie: incredible. Back to this video, though: if this happened in The Three Stooges or any other movie ever you would just be like, well, no, no way, this movie sucks. Luckily, though, it happened in real life, so that we can all enjoy it so much. Hahahahah. LET'S MARRY THIS VIDEO IN THE EYES OF GOD! Caption this video really quick and then come to our party!
Winner will receive special placement AT OUR PARTY! (Thanks for the tip, Megan and Josh!)
Good thing he auto-corrected his route.
What you can't see is that the bear was also texting
Actually he was on Twitter: "Throwin' caution to the wind and going for a walk in the city. #makeitcount"
#honey #salmon
Is there an emoticon for "HOLY SHIT A BEAR!"?
"Cannot find a listing for "Chinese RestauraaaaAAAAAAAH! HOLYSHITIT'SABEAR! FUCK! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" — Siri
He's still more afraid of the Instagram/Facebook thing than that bear.
Plz like&share if u dont want barz to eat u. Ignore if u want 2 die.
"I know that Videogum party is around here somewh…oooooooo a snack." –bear.
"were you scared?"
"does a texter shit in his pants?"
Standard mauling rates may apply.
I'm not sure if he should feel relieved that the bear didn't chase him or insulted that the bear thought a stationary garbage can was more interesting than him.
"I warned you!"
Sheeeeeeit. Sorry, dj!!!! Darko Boner. The texting dude apparently isn't the only person who needs to get his head out of his ass.
I'm less upset at the Spider Darko and more upset about the duplication of her moronic face.
At least the Bear guy saw the bear. This dummy still managed to FALL OFF OF A PIER.
What's a good way to say I'll deal with a difficult situation well, oh a bear, grin and bear it that's it
that's my fuckin' show.
let the Texts From Grizzly meme commence
Oddly enough, he was texting her.
Behold, the new face of Donna Darko.
I am ashamed.
I think we all know our course of action now.
Only if we live in Oregon, you mean.
gary: do u think our mistakes r permanent?
zelda: what mistakes?
gary: like on a record with god
zelda: what did u do?
zelda: gary?
gary: sorry i was running from a bear. I guess god does know. lol.
Oh my b didn't mean to darko you. We darkoin' all up in this caption contest.
So Darko
His text messaging rates had become almost unbearable. (I'll show myself out.)
"Place salmon here and here"
This made me laugh. Partly because I imagined Scott Baio writing it. Scott Bear-o.
"Damn Google Maps!" - this bear
Also, why do you never see the bear and the guy in the same shot?
Stealth Bear!
"omw" followed by "no longer omw cuz bear"
Someone already said this. I did not make it count.
Where's George Zimmerman when you need him?
Not in prison?
"Well I went out to go get me a cold pop, then I thought somebody had left some old fish out. I said, 'Oh lord Jesus it's a bear.' Then I ran out. I didn't grab no shoes or nothing, Jesus. I RAN for my life. And then the bear bit me…I got rabies. Ain't nobody got time for that!" - Sweet Brown's son
Jesus saves.
I don't think he even saw the bear – he probably just heard that Santorum had dropped out and ran home to celebrate
Unlike Treadwell, I do not see a friend in the bear. When I look in to the eyes of the great beast, I see only a half bored interest in food.
I was waiting for a Grizzly Man reference. Thank you!
Wow, he didn't even paws before he took off!
hey what's ur sine?
There isn't an app for that.
"Woop woop whoaWHOAAA AH'M OUTTA HE-UH!" – funny person
It was the bear who called 911, however.
BRB – Be Right Bear
Chief Wiggum: Book 'em, Lou. [points to the bear] Chief Wiggum: One count of being a bear. [points to Barney] Chief Wiggum: And one count of being an accessory to being a bear.

De Blasio: NYC Will Handle Next Storm Better
Mayor Bill de Blasio is vowing to learn from mistakes made in New York City's response to this week's snowstorm.
Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
Mayor Bill de Blasio is vowing to learn from mistakes made in New York City's response to this week's snowstorm.
Universal Pre-K's been a centerpiece of Bill de Blasio's campaign. But to fund it, the Democrat will need to convince Governor Cuomo to let him raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers. At the debate last night, he was asked what he'd do if he couldn't get it passed.
The records of two former New York City mayors were at the forefront of a free-wheeling, often testy, debate between the leading candidates to replace Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, is endorsing Bill de Blasio for New York City mayor.
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is endorsing her former Democratic foe, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, to be mayor.
Republicans are always fighting an uphill battle in the heavily Democratic city of New York. To get voters to the polls, candidates have to convince them that they can win in November, whoever the Democrat may be. John Catsimatidis made his case in Sunday's debate saying only HE has the ability to garner support of minorities and the pro-business Democrats in the city. And the billionaire businessman said he has *something his opponent Joe Lhota doesn't: money.
The biggest labor union in New York City has weighed in on the mayor's race. Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union is providing a prized endorsement for Public Advocate Bill de Blasio in the competitive Democratic primary.
President George Gresham said Friday the health care workers' union sees de Blasio as a champion of working families.
The union represents more than 200,000 workers citywide. It's considered a powerful political ally that can turn out fleets of campaign volunteers.
It would seem as though announcing his candidacy would be unnecessary.
Less than two years after having to resign his House seat following a highly-publicized online scandal, Anthony Weiner is among the leading candidates of a contentious New York City mayoral race.
Should he enter the Democratic primary race for mayor today, Weiner would be supported by 15 percent of registered Democrats in New York City, according to an NBC New York-Marist poll released Tuesday. Christine Quinn is the only candidate that leads him with 26 percent of the votes.
Christine Quinn, the New York City Council speaker since 2006, announced her candidacy for Mayor on Sunday morning when she released a biographical video on her new campaign website. If elected, Quinn would be the first woman and openly gay mayor of New York City.

Too much happens when I only check in every 3 weeks! MCMers, loved reading your race reports, and amazing finish times! I did that race in 2011 and I keep thinking I might want to revisit it.
Lindsay- awesome job on your first, congrats!
CARunningGirl- I'm racing that weekend too, on Nov 30, but on the East Coast. Just a few weeks to go! Are you nervous about running the week of Thanksgiving? Great excuse to carb load on stuffing
Me- I'm back on the training bandwagon- I did 36 last week, with an 18 mi long run at 8:54 pace. This week I'm aiming for 40 with a 20 miler this weekend. My dirty secret: my peak mileage was only 40 mpw before Steamtown (I'm not on the high mileage bandwagon... yet), so I'm going to stick to that for 2 peak weeks (this week and next) and taper 2 weeks before NCR. I did a 3 week taper before Steamtown but I feel the need for just a teeny bit more training before gunning for my BQ.
5K: 22:24 (12/2013), Half: 1:49:02 (5/2013), Full: 3:37:07 (11/2013)
Laurel - I'm in Canada, so hadn't really given much thought to it being thanksgiving, except that we need to find somewhere to eat out on the holiday. Is Steamtown the race you got your marathon PR in? Great time in your sig!
drock - yeah it's suddenly winter here. HOpe the lights are on for your track workout.
honky - do you do tri's or just run/bike? I really enjoy cycling but it's hard to find time for everything!
as for me: yesterday's run was great, did a progression run and spent 4k at MP, which was hard to keep moving that slow, ended with 2k at HMP. Tonight is 15-16k w/ my RP after work.
Blog: http://terryruns.wordpress.com5k - 22:56 (2011) (unofficial 21:37 - 2014) 10k - 45:24 (2014) HM - 1:44:27 (2014) FM - 3:42:54 (2014)
Brent - I dreaded the mile repeats initially, but then I loved them. Such a fun challenge.
Welcome CARunningGirl!
HG - Thanks! I generally hate clips, but I will use them.
As for me: I followed Mac's advice. I ran 3 miles last night at a really easy 10 minute pace, some foam rolling of the calves, and a stick massage on my Achilles. I feel a lot less tight, tender, and sore this morning than I did two days ago. I had another round of Graston this morning and it hurt a lot less.
Drock - I've heard the same about the shorter repeats. I have found a couple workouts for 5ks now since. 400s and 800s. 3 x 1 mile repeats with 3:00min-ish between as a light jog. Not sure why but some were saying not to go beyond a mile with repeats. I'm going to do more repeats tonight after a good warm-up. Just need to get these old sprinter legs awake!
Keep rock'in it Dreamn! You will get your body all square and dominate the race!!!!
Dreamn - glad to hear you are recovering. Agree with Mac that your timing is perfect to smash Philly
Thanks for the comments on the mile repeats. Agreeing with Dreamn above, they were tougher earlier in the program and while hanson isnt easy, i "knock on wood" have got through it tired but with fewer niggles than with Pfitz. Perhaps its the short LR. Perhaps its toughening up over the cycle. Perhaps its my legs getting better over the years.
WHo knows, but taper nerves are starting to jangle............
Terry, I'm an ex-triathlete from many years ago (1980's). Definitely not any more. I don't swim at all anymore. I hung my bike up in 1997, and didn't get it down until last spring, to use for marathon recovery. It stuck, and I really like it's recovery aspects, as well as added cardio with less pounding. I don't really push it. I like to say I ride to become a better runner, not to become a better cyclist.
You 5K'ers are nuts…I did one 5K this summer, and it was a 100 meter dash followed by 3 miles of wanting to die. It hurt about 100 times worse than my marathons ever did.
Me- Decided to go for a tempo run and see how long I could last. Went 6 miles in 7:57 average, and surprised myself. It did help that it was 38 degrees and I was in shorts and a t-shirt. I also did my daily 10 miles on my spin bike.
Next Marathon: Eisenhower Marathon, Abilene Ks. 4/11/15
Hello Everyone...I am hoping to join in your discussions with long term goal of getting a sub 3:45 and a BQ at the same time! I just ran my second marathon last Sunday and finished with a 3:50:16 (hate that 16 secs). I ran my first marathon in 4:00:51. I am hoping to start training toward my new goal soon but I am taking some much needed down time right now! I used Pfitz 18/55 for the last training cycle and loved it.
Feel free to add any words of wisdom or advice on how to shave off 5-7 minutes
Hi RM3! Welcome to a great group!
Your 1st and 2nd marathons are very impressive. If you feel healthy, and injury free, keep doing what you're doing! Improvements come in healthy increments, as you gain experience and keep pushing. Look at your first, and what you did for your 2nd to shave off 10 minutes, and know that if you repeat the process, you'll shave off another 10 at least. If you're already planning your next, and can't wait to get started, I'm betting your going to get your goal easily
welcome RunMama3, that's a good 2nd Marathon, hope to get closer to 3:45 on my second. I'm using Pfitz 18/55 as well.
Honky - I have to try a 5k someday, even though it sounds so painful. At least it's a short pain.
me - 16.12km @ 5.28/km pace (10.02 mi @8:48/mi) with 4x1200m intervals.
Really felt cold and dark this afternoon, the lights were on at the track though. Ran these a little slower than the last couple weeks, splits in kms for the 1200m intervals:
4:19, 4:19, 4:24, 4:25
and miles:
6:57, 6:57, 7:06, 7:07
Did 800m between the first 2, and 400m before the last. Pfitz says you can leave up to 90% of the interval time between intervals, so 800m was about right. I think i'm still recovering from the 10k on Sunday, even though I didn't get to go full out. Running 6km after the intervals on tired legs was a little difficult too. Heavy rain here tomorrow, so good thing it's my SRD.
PRs: 10k - 44:20 (11/13) 15k - 1:13:16 (9/14) HM - 1:46:29 (06/14) FM - 3:58:29 (12/13)
Upcoming races: Shamrock HM - 03/15 / BMO Vancouver Marathon - 05/03
Also a Pfitz user. My only suggestion is to stick to the plan as tightly as possible and do speed work from now until the marathon. More speed work the better. Your times will go up the more you run and your endurance is built up.
Tough week so far for me.. had a very tough run this morning... and good ole GI issues are always a joy!
The joys of running right?
M: 3:19:28 | HM: 1:35:08 | 10 M: 1:12:36 | 10k: 42:07 | Next Up: Turkey Strut

Hi All!
STOKED for my race on Sunday! OBX Marathon. I hope to BQ for 2015 if all goes well. Taper sucks, as always, but I feel healthy. No nags, no upper resp issues (I used to ALWAYS get sick during taper till I started doing captain obvious things like 1. get enough sleep 2. take vitamin C tablets 3. avoid people that are obviously slinging snot everywhere)
I think my training went very well. Don't have a strategy other than staying on my target pace and gutting it out over that damn bridge that's nearly two miles long toward the end that spans the Albemarle Sound.
My wife and I are driving down tomorrow to make a 4 day weekend of it. Run and Race well everyone!
Over 50 PRs: 5K - 20:16 (3/14) 10K - 44:37 1/2 - 1:35:50 Full - 3:41:57
Marathon Maniac #8545
The Laws Of Physics are merely Suggestions
Good Luck BM sounds like your ready to put a hurting on the race go getem
RM3.. welcome to a great group they will give u great advice.
Drock... u def have to do a 5K all speed lungs burn lol I love it
zanrok... hate when that happens, maybe your legs just need a lil more time to recover because you have been racing a lot.
HG ... looks like 6 miles at a 7:57 wow someone is training to knock Brent off lol.
Me.... still in taperville and going crazy thinking about my first FM checking the weather legs feel real freash but it feels like im losing in durance that has me concerned.oh well nothing I can do now except trust I have trained enough.
good runs to all
Dreamn - I've had achilles issues in the past, they can be a bear! Hope it continures to improve.
honky - I enjoy a ride to flush out my legs when they're tired also. Nice tempo!
runmama - welcome! I'm new to this group also. Congrats on your great marathon time, sounds like it's just a matter of time till you get down below 3:45.
drock - nice run last night!
zanrock - your run this morning sounds like mine last night... ugh.
billmurray - good luck this weekend! Sounds like some good lessons for taper!
runfor1 - oh isn't taper fun!?
and for me: Ran 16k (10mi) last night, and though it wasn't pretty, it's done. I had a stomach flu last week and for some reason it resurfaced yesterday, so the run brought on some GI issues, and it was slow, but it's done. Today is 10k, it'll be on the TM in the work gym as I just have a sliver of time between meetings to fit it in.
Welcome new Runners!
Me - Some more mile repeats. Temps are really down here in Minnesota and the snow isn't completely melting All the North facing spots (lawns, roofs, etc) still have snow and its giving the air a little extra chill. Depressing actually. But I went out on a quick 4 miler last night.........almost in full winter gear.
Splits: 9:03 warm-up,6:25, 3:00 min jog,6:29 and 10:08 cool-down.
RF1, SS, Dreamn - good luck with your tapers.
CARunningGirl - welcome. I am from Canada as well (Burlington, Ontario).
RM3 - welcome. I am a new runner (and shouldn't be in this thread) but these guys have the best advice. I have learned a lot in the last few months.
Me - taper is going OK, except for the decision/indecision on what pace to run. I did get some advice in another thread. Leaning towards finishing with a smile rather than trying sub 4:00 - especially if my hamstring problem is still around on race day. I have visions of the aspirin not working and running the last 20K with a tight hamstring or cramp.
Happy running to those I haven't mentioned.
Goals - 3:45 marathon (Glass City April 26th, 2015).
welcome RM3 and CA_girl. Lots of good advice and support to be found on here
good luck with the race BM....and any others running on Sunday that I am missing
me - last hard workout of the cycle on the pgm for later today (13m w 10m @ GMP) - then 10 days to go ..... nervous much?
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I hope to learn lots from all the pro's here .
gmp262 and CARunningGirl - I am from Canada too. Just on the east side of Toronto.
Zanrock - thanks for your advice with Pfitz. Do you suggest adding speedwork (in addition to what is in the program?) or do you suggest doing weekly speedwork during your base building time?
I want to add in some hill repeats over the next 6-8 weeks before I start the 18/55 again. I try to choose a hilly route for my long runs but I feel like I am still missing those hill repeats? Do any of the other Pfitz users add those to your schedule. I just don't know where to add them in. The program is already quite
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!
Bill, Good luck Sunday!!!
Terry, always nice to have another cyclist on board! It really helps my old muscles stay loose and recover.
RF1- I think Brent and I are going to train our butts off this winter… how cool would it be to race each other to BQ's Anyone else want to come to the Abilene Kansas Marathon this spring (April 12)? Super flat, all asphalt wide open country roads… out in the middle of nowhere. Small town, about 200 marathoners, and 400 half marathoners. They also do 10K and 5K the same day. Amazing support, aid stations every mile.
Ok, how do you Hansonites do it? I did a long run last Saturday, speed workout on Monday, and then a tempo run Wednesday (rarely do speed/tempo/long in the same week) And when I woke up this morning, it felt like I was visited by Aliens in my sleep, and they surgically removed all my leg muscles. I was able to waddle through 6 miles at a 9:22 pace today… and it will be interesting to see if the Aliens bring me back my leg muscles tonight. I took it super easy, and got a nice 10 mile bike ride. I'm thinking seriously of trying Hanson for my spring marathon… For those who have the book (I don't) does it say anything about using the program if your an old geezer?
I went to the LRS today and signed up for a 10 mile race on Nov. 24, and a Half Marathon on January 1st.
I thought I would try to capture the upcoming marathons. Please add and correct as needed. I am looking forward to reading some RR's in the coming weeks!
OBX, 11/10- BillMurray (This looks like a cool race!)
Richmond, 11/16 – gmp
Philly, 11/17 – Dreamn, Sunday Shuffle, Mvallone
Myles Standish, 11/17 – RF1
NCR Trail, 11/3 – Laurel
Seattle, 12/1 – CARunningGirl, Drock
CIM, 12/8 – Zanrock
HG - The BQ for us is 3:30 and I think we are on our way! This is going to be a great winter. Speaking of that Mac, enjoy the winter training. It is better than 90 degrees!
Run 4 1 - from today the plan is 7 / 8 / 8 / 6 / 5 / SRD / 6 / 6 / 3 / marathon. - but all at easy pace which is a drop
Brent - Mvallone and I are doing Philly.. Not sure of others
Honky - from one old geezer ....I supect your aliens were hidden in a spaceship called "too quick". Hansons intervals are at either 5k pace and what they call tempo miles are at GMP. Two other FWIW points are that i) leading up to start week I did weeks looking like hansons but not the full distance (so for eg 8x400m not the 12 like you did) and ii) in the first weeks of the plan my legs were "on the edge". Even though the distances went up I found them easier and easier to hold and although the night before the next hard workout I was often wondering "how am i going to make it tomorrow" somehow when tomorrow came I was always able to. Easy is also EASY (from 60 to 120s/mile slower than GMP with LR at about 40s slower than GMP)
If you dont have the pace charts and would like them please let me know
me - last night 12m with 10 @GMP for the last hard workout. Today taper started with 7m easy
run / taper well all
That marathon sounds tempting, HG! I'm looking for a spring marathon in case Philly sucks for me. Wow, you guys have a faster BQ time than me! Ideally, I'd like to run a 3:30 marathon to get into Boston 2015 . Is that too much to ask for between now and next September?
Thanks for the update, Brent. I meant to update the list yesterday but didn't have time! Yes, Mvallone is joining Sunday and I for Philly.
BillMurray - Have a great OBX! KILL it!
Thanks CARunninggirl. What I thought was simply tight calves has evolved into something else. Fortunately, I caught it early enough to manage it without any major trauma .
mac - yup, snow is here also! It's been a bit of a shock to the system.
gmp - I know a few other runners in the burlington area, one is even driving to richmond to do the half.
as for me, yesterday was an easy 7 miles on the TM @ a 9:10 pace, tomorrow is 20-22 mi, I'm hoping to go further than 20 but am going to see how things feel. Anyone here do greater than 20 mile long runs? It's my 3rd 20, and I'm peaking at 50-ish miles, that's all my body and schedule can handle right now.
Thanks, SS! There were a ton of racers, so I'm expecting there will be more mod's.
Dreamn, you've got racing to do - I'm happy to assist and let you get ready! It would be cool if you could do Abilene!
NCR Trail, 11/30 – Laurel
Philly, 11/17 – Dreamn, SundayShuffle, Mvallone
If anyone has more, just modify as needed. I'll check in later!
CARunningGirl - Nice job on the TM miles and peaking. Some go further than 20, some don't. I peaked at 16 miles (3 times) on the Hanson Plan and still pulled off a 3:44 last month. Everyone is different.Dreamn - I dont think that is too much between now and Sept! I am hoping/dreaming of running sub-3:30 in the spring and then sub-3:15 in the fall. Now that is crazy!Sunday - Congrats on making it to taper and enjoy it. Just remember to keep all the runs now EASY! Super, super important.sbpbrent - I would take the cold over 90 too, but at least with 90 there is no ice to deal with.HG - The book really doesn't say much about old geezer, except they need longer recovery times. But I know what you are saying, there was some weeks my legs were done-toast-tired, but I still somehow managed to get the runs in. But I think that was the secret sauce, it seemed to work for me.Mac - Keep the snow and ice up there please. I am holding onto dry pavement as long as I can before the lake effect snow machine turns on. Nice repeats! I need to do those soon or maybe not...my 5k is next weekend. So maybe a repeat session on Tues to see what my legs can do?Me - Been in a crazy daze with running. Think all that summer training fried my mojo. I have a couple of runs in this week, but nothing the last couple of days. Planning some easy miles at lunch with co-workers today. There is a group LR tomorrow with Shalane Flanagan downtown with the LRS. Maybe that will recharge my batteries?Next question: My sights are now turning to sub-3:30 for spring and maybe sub-3:15 for next fall...is it cool to hang with you guy/gals still on this thread? I like the vibe and stuff over the summer in this thread!

I hope most of you stick around, even if you pass 3:45 . What marathon are you planning for the spring, Pete?
Then I will stick around! I am thinking about the Martian Marathon in Dearborn, Michigan on 4/12. I ran it before and it is pretty flat and fast...so perfect for getting the PR down.
CA-RG, it depends on how you feel. But I mainly say stick to the plan he has listed. If he calls for speed work, don't slack off and not do it. I noticed a great performance increase by pushing myself on the days I didn't want too. Like this morning. But again listen to your body and adjust for races and such.
Dream, I will probably move up to a 3:25 or under group if one exists, to try and push myself harder for the next cycle. But yes I will still stick around the 3:45s =)
This morning, I ran 9 miles with 5 at half marathon pace, with hills . Suffice to say I'm exhausted. With the half marathon scheduled for Sunday I think I will just do yoga tomorrow instead of the scheduled 5 miles and stretch/ice and take it easy the rest of the day.
And winter weather hit this week very hard. I have had 5 days of full winter gear, and 3 days in the 20 degree mark. Hoooray! lol
Happy running everyone and good luck this weekend!
Sending positive vibes your way! If you're up to traveling to the West Coast, I'm running in Ventura again. It's a fantastic, fast course.

wow thats a lot more than what Im doing, I hope I don't crash and burn :/
I hope your getting better and you will be able to run
Thanks Mom and RF!! So funny that you mentioned Ventura, a friend just sent me a link and course description. I'm considering it, especially since flights to Duluth for Grandma's cost a small fortune! (Sorry Mac )
Welcome newcomers and congratulations to those who posted great runs last weekend.
Good luck this weekend to those lucky enough to have a race to run.
Been absent for a few weeks as I continue to nurse the back of my knee. I have foam rolled it, took Ibuprofen, heated it and iced it and got a couple of short runs in.
It is feeling much better but still not 100 per cent.
I refer to it as 'it' as between work and home life (wife out of town), I have not got any formal treatment yet.
Honky, I do not think it is meniscus but am leaning toward a lower hamstring or upper calf pull, which happened at 40 k mark of my Oct. 20 marathon.
But it could be a host of items.
Goal is for 2-3 short runs this weekend to test it on consecutive days.
Good luck to all this weekend, whether training, racing or maintaining. Remember those who fought so we could enjoy a long Sunday run!

Is the same as what you have? I like the "Too fast" mother ship… I think I get abducted aboard too often! My long run was pretty easy, my speed work was right on my last 5K time, but my tempo run was 15 seconds a mile too fast! Thanks for the insight! I'm all ears. I've got to get serious here… don't want Brent to show me up in my home state!
Terry, yes, I do runs longer than 20 miles. Normally I'll go at least one 26 miler 4 weeks before. But that's just me. It's very mentally reassuring. I did two 26'ers before my last marathon and set my over 50 PR and it was possibly the easiest to finish marathon I've ever run. Caution: This is a very hot topic on these forums outside of this thread, and usually produces long heated discussions!
Pete, I lurk in the 3:30 thread… but like it here. I'm not going to kill myself for the 3:30, but if it happens cool. That's why I'm playing around with the Hanson workouts. I've got two months to experiment, before the schedule would start. If I can eek out a long run tomorrow… I will have successfully made it through one typical Hanson week (but might need a week to recover). Even if I break a 3:30 again someday, this thread is where my heart is. There is a fine line between having fun and hurting too much, and for me, I'm flirting with it right now.
Kevin, probably not a meniscus injury (Thank God!) because you wouldn't be recovering as quick. Be very careful, and remember that swelling and fluid on your knee is a bad thing, indicating further internal trauma. So if that happens, stop!
Me, 6 miles run and 10 miles bike today. I'm not sure how, but I managed 8:57 pace on the run battling 40 mph wind gusts. I hope I didn't over do it too much, as I have to play late tonight at a local bar.
Run 4 one - you're going to be more than fine. Remember hansons have a different philosophy including no 20m (well on the 63m max pgm). This "difference" is evident in the taper.
Pete - awesome goals sir! Will you follow hansons 63m max or get their 20 week / 80m max pgm (which does have 20m LR's)?
honky - thanks, no way I'm going 26 but maybe 22, we'll see. I know it's a hot topic and like so many of these running questions, there is no right answer I guess.
zanrok - there is no 'he' in the plan as I've just made it up myself... which I guess I'll continue to do tomorrow Great workout for 2 days before a half!
Pete - I'll have to do more readon on Hanson's, I've heard people training with it, but haven't looked it up myself. A run with Shalane!? Awesome!
HG - I think I might lurk in the 3:30 too now. Good group in here and some are already pushing the 3:30 barrier! Pushing too hard and not having fun would void the spirit here. I think you would do well with the principles of the Hanson plan, but in a schedule that would work for you. But from what I saw this summer, you do already. Looking forward to seeing what you do this winter. How is for running in the winter for you?Sunday - No need to worry about mass loss of cool runners here. I think we have a solid group that is sticking together. My goals might be a bit nuts, but I am looking forward to giving it a try! BQ for me right now is 3:10 and will be 3:15 in 17 months...so I have a long, long road ahead. I did follow the Hanson advance and peaked at 63 this past cycle for my 3:44. I have not seen their 20 week/80m max pgm...is that in the book? I have it and only see the "elite example" at the back, but that is like 100+ stuff. They do give guidance for going above 63 with adding miles on the easy days or to the warm-up / cool-downs. At the minimum, I would like to repeat the same mileage, but at the faster paces a 3:30 requires. But I am aiming to increase the mileage a bit if possible.Me - I ended up running 4.7 miles at lunch with the two co-workers. One just ran NYCM and finished in 4:00:04, he followed the exact same hanson plan as me and used the same paces, but did not want to push the pace. The other is a new runner and was intimidated by my speed, but I reassured him we would go whatever pace he was comfortable at...so we avg 10:45 and had a great time. Plus his confidence running with other runners was boosted. Big win for him...and a needed recovery run for me.
Pete - nice that you ran slow for the new runner. I know that would have been a big boost for me too!
i really enjoy the back and forth about the different training programs. As a beginner I didn't know what to do for my training so I found something on the Internet that looked like something I could keep up with. It was an 18 week intermediate program that had 3 20 milers in it and peaked at about (70km). I was able to keep up with the mileage but had to curtail some of the speed stuff after I hurt my hamstring.
What would be a reasonable program to follow for my second marathon (next spring)? I'm not looking to BQ - yet..... But something that would give me a solid chance at 3:45 would be very motivating. Thanks.
SS... Thank you I think I'm just in my first taper freak out lol
1975Pete... I ran with a club last week at that speed and it was fun just to run with people for once.
CRG....looks like you do we'll with ur own workouts you have good speed in the shorter races
HG... Love the alien stories made me lol
gmp262... I did the same thing found the HH plan on Internet because I had no clue but it has work out good for me also.
2days of running this week end TG

The Narrative: The Texas Rangers, on the back of their starting pitching and a three home run game from Adrian Beltre, beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 today to clinch their ticket to the ALCS for the second straight year.
It was also the second straight year that the team of destiny Rays were beaten in the ALDS at home by the Rangers, ending their run less than a week after beating the odds and making the playoffs in dramatic fashion in the final game of the regular season.
The Rays made it exciting at the end, with Sean Rodriguez scoring his third run of the game in the ninth inning on a Casey Kotchman single, but it wasn't enough to compete with four solo home runs and an efficient Neftali Feliz. The Rangers rotation and bullpen will be in good shape for the start of the ALCS on Saturday, October 8th.
Anatomy Of A Three Home Run Game
In the history of baseball only Babe Ruth (twice), Reggie Jackson, Bob Robertson, George Brett, Adam Kennedy and now Adrian Beltre have hit three home runs in a single playoff game.
This is how it happened.
Leading off the second inning against Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson, Beltre took a first pitch fastball for ball one and then crushed the second fastball he saw all the way into the left field seats.
With one out in the fourth inning, Beltre didn't take his bat off his shoulder until he saw a fastball with the fourth pitch of the at bat. Taking inside heat deep in his last at bat, this time he extended to reach on the outside part of the plate and sent the ball hurtling the opposite way.
After a three up / three down sixth inning, Rays rookie pitcher Matt Moore stayed in the game to start the seventh inning. His first pitch, a four seam fastball up in the zone, was clobbered by Beltre, once again into deep left field.
Altogether, Beltre's three home runs contributed 35.2% to the probability of the Rangers winning their third game in a row and heading to the American League Championship Series.
The Most Important Play Of The Game
While they were all very meaningful to the game, Beltre's third home run off Matt Moore in the seventh inning put the biggest dent in the Rays chances of a come back increasing the Rangers probability of winning by 12.4% at the time.
The Biggest Disappointment Of The Game
With none out and a base runner on first in the fifth inning, B.J. Upton came up to bat against the impressive Matt Harrison. After going down 0-2 in the count, Upton eventually popped one up in foul territory that third baseman Adrian Beltre snagged for the first out in the inning. In his other three at bats today, Upton struck out each time. He single-handedly reduced his team's chances of winning by 12.8% with his plate appearances today. #Ugly
The Shamsky Award
Named after Art Shamsky, who single handedly increased the Cincinnati Reds' chances of winning by 150.3% in a losing effort during a game in 1966, The Shamsky Award is given to the player on the losing team who contributes the most to them winning.
Casey Kotchman went two for four today, knocking in Sean Rodriguez twice, good enough for the biggest contribution from a Rays player with a 12.6% increase in WPA. It will be interesting to see what happens with Kotchman this off season, as he will most certainly seek a raise from the $750,000 he made this year.
The Aggravating Thing That The Managers Did
Watching Joel Peralta dispose of Josh Hamilton couldn't help but make me think that this might have been a completely different series if he was used in yesterday's game by Joe Maddon instead of J.P. Howell.
Once again, Ron Washington, who was roundly criticized for his use of the bullpen in last year's playoffs, used his relievers very well. Derek Holland, Alexi Ogando and Neftali Feliz all recorded shutdowns with their appearances this afternoon.
The Statistics You Won't Believe
Jeremy Hellickson had never given up more than two home runs in a game until today.
Matt Harrison had nine strikeouts after four innings today. That equaled his career high.
Matt Moore's relief appearance to start the fifth inning was the first time he has ever taken the mound at Tropicana Field.
The two third basemen in this series ranked one and two by WAR among players at their position this season.
Carefully Selected Quote Cliche Of The Game
From Baseball Prospectus, today, we'll go with, who else, Adrian Beltre's perspective:
I wasn't looking for the pitch at all, but he just threw it over the plate and I put a good swing on it. They left a couple of pitches over the plate and I took advantage of them.
Stray Observations Of The Game
I think I received a sympathy concussion after Mike Napoli got his bell rung by Sean Rodriguez on the home plate collision that led to the Rays first run of the game in the second inning.
I would've been far more enthusiastic about the safe call if Rodriguez had touched the plate before it was given.
I suppose it could have been worse for Napoli. He could have been this guy:
I wonder if there was a method to the madness. As a team, the Rays have a reputation for not being able to get on base against hard throwing left handed pitchers with high ground ball rates, so they took a ton of pitches over the first three innings from Matt Harrison. It resulted in seven strikeouts, but a tuckered out starter.
Matt Joyce struck out swinging to end the fourth inning. The first pitch was a curveball right down the middle of the plate, and Joyce took a hard whiff on it, obviously expecting a fastball.
So, Matt Moore might be something of a keeper.
A good decision by Ron Washington to bring Matt Harrison out of the game when he did. Yes, he was only at 96 pitches, but that's deep enough in the playoffs and Derek Holland, despite his troubles in Game Two, was one of the Rangers best pitchers in the second half.
Johnny Damon diving head first at first base makes about as much sense, as this does:
Adrian Beltre = Absolute Monster.
Walking David Murphy is like tipping the person who takes your order at McDonald's.
B.J. Upton looked awful today in his four at bats. Three strikeouts and an infield pop out do not a great impression make. He's making $4.825 million this year and set to go into his final year of arbitration. I'm pretty sure Desmond Jennings wouldn't have much of a problem playing center field. I'm just saying is all.

Darin Seth Oleyte Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on May 19, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, DARIN SETH OLEYTE, a 19-year-old resident of Crow Agency, appeared for sentencing. OLEYTE was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 26 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 6 years
OLEYTE was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to sexual abuse of a minor.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Harper Suek, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On July 14, 2009, at about 5:30 a.m., the minor victim was found passed out, with her pants down, laying near the Crow Agency School. She was discovered by two walkers walking around the school's track. The walkers called the police and the minor victim was taken to the hospital. Her BAC was .377.
The minor victim had been drinking at the school after midnight with her friend and three boys, one of them was OLEYTE. OLEYTE was flirting with the victim and, at some point, they separated from the group. He admitted that he had sexual intercourse with the minor victim, and he admitted that she was very drunk. He and his friends, though, claim that she was walking and talking when they left the school, although she was found laying face down, passed out, with her pants down. Her friend looked for her before she went home but could not find her.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that OLEYTE will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, OLEYTE does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Freeport + Mid-Coast
Maine Windjammer Cruises
Camden, ME, 04843, United States
Who cares if you don't know what the difference between port and starboard is, or what to do on a sailboat when someone yells "come about!" After an overnight cruise on a windjammer, you'll be fluent in sail speak. With 12 schooners that make up the small but mighty fleet, ranging in size and styles, this is hands-down one of the very best ways to experience life on the Atlantic—and learn the ropes, literally! Through the summer and early fall, the majestic historic vessels set sail from Rockland and Camden with up to 40 passengers on board (some ships accommodate as few as six) for memorable overnight cruises, which are renowned for their delicious food too.
Insider Tip:
If you just want to keep to terra firma and gaze on the billowy sails from shore, there are numerous windjammer events in the area during the season, many of which you can enjoy from land's end. For more info: www.sailmainecoast.com.

Activision has won a court case against the man who bought the domain ModernWarfare3.com back in July and redirected it to the Battlefield 3 homepage.
The site later ran something of an anti-COD propaganda campaign as Activision filed a complaint against its owner.
"It appears that the Respondent supports the game Battlefield from the game developer Electronic Arts ("EA")," Activision stated in the legal documents at the time.
"EA is one of Complainant's principal competitors in the video game industry, and Battlefield game competes in the marketplace with Complainant's MODERN WARFARE games and its other military-themed shooter games in the CALL OF DUTY series."
ModernWarfare3.com owner Anthony Abraham argued during the case that the term "modern warfare" is generic and is not monopolised by Activision.
Activision in turn was required to prove that modernwarfare3.com is identical or confusingly similar to its trademark, that Abraham has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain and that domain name was registered and used in bad faith.
We doubt Activision found it too hard to do so and a three-member panel ruled in the publisher's favour.

Cancer Facts for Lesbians and Bisexual Women
Protect yourself and the people you care about.
Recognizing barriers. Saving lives.
The most common types of cancer among women are breast, colon, endometrial (uterine), cervical, lung, and skin cancer.
Studies have found that lesbians and bisexual women have higher rates of breast cancer than heterosexual women.1 They also get less routine health care than other women, including colon, breast, and cervical cancer screening.2 Some of the reasons for this include:
- Low rates of health insurance: Many health insurance policies do not cover unmarried partners. This makes it harder for many lesbians and bisexual women to get quality health care. Many states now offer family health insurance plans that may help you get coverage in other ways.
- Fear of discrimination: Many women do not tell their doctors about their sexual orientation, because they don't want discrimination to affect the quality of health care they receive. This can make it harder to have a comfortable relationship with a provider. A lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual (LGBT) community center or group may be able to refer you to LGBT-friendly health care providers.
- Negative experiences with health care providers: Fear of having a negative experience with a health care provider can lead some women to delay or avoid medical care, especially routine care such as early detection tests. Missing routine cancer screenings can lead to cancer being diagnosed at a later stage, when it's harder to treat. Today, there are many LGBT-friendly providers. Don't give up – find the respectful care you deserve!
The American Cancer Society can help you learn more about the cancers that women are most at risk for, as well as how to find these cancers early (when they are small and easier to treat). All women can do things to help reduce their cancer risk and stay well.
Breast cancer
Who is at risk?
The 2 biggest risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and getting older. A woman whose mother, sister, grandmother, or aunt has or had breast cancer is at higher risk. Smoking, being overweight, especially after menopause, or drinking alcohol may add to the risk. Women who have not had children and have not breast-fed, have not used oral contraceptives, and are older when they first give birth – all factors more likely to affect lesbians and bisexual women – are also at a slightly higher risk.3
What you can do
The best defense against breast cancer is to find it early – when it's small and has not spread. This is when the disease is easiest to treat. The American Cancer Society recommends the following guidelines for breast cancer early detection:
- Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram done every year and continue to do so as long as they are in good health.
- Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam done as part of a regular check-up by a health professional, preferably every 3 years. Women 40 and older should have a breast exam by a health professional every year.
- Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change to a health professional right away. Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20s. Talk to a doctor or nurse about benefits and limitations of BSE.
Some women who are at high risk for breast cancer – because of family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors – should be screened with MRI along with mammograms every year. Talk to a doctor about your risk and the best screening plan for you.
Colon cancer
Who is at risk?
Most colorectal cancers (commonly known as colon cancer) are found in people age 50 and older. People with a personal or family history of the disease, colon or rectal polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease are at greater risk. A diet high in red and processed meats, alcohol use, being overweight, smoking, and being inactive also increase risk.
What you can do
Colon cancer almost always starts with a polyp – a small growth on the lining of the colon or rectum. Testing can save lives by finding polyps before they become cancer. If pre-cancerous polyps are removed, colon cancer can be prevented. A diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and limits red or processed meat may also lower risk.
The American Cancer Society recommends all people at average risk for colorectal cancer have 1 of the following tests starting at age 50:
Tests that find polyps and cancer:
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years*
- Double-contrast barium enema every 5 years*
- Colonoscopy every 10 years
- A CT colonography every 5 years *
Tests that find mainly cancer:
- Guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) or fecal immunochemical test (FIT), also known as a stool blood test, every year**
- Stool DNA test (sDNA), every 3 years*
* If the test is positive, a colonoscopy should be done.
** Highly-sensitive versions of these tests should be used with the multiple stool take-home method. One test done by the doctor is not adequate for testing. A colonoscopy should be done if the test is positive.
Tests that have the best chance of finding both polyps and cancer should be your first choice when possible. Talk with a doctor or nurse to find out which test is right for you.
Gynecological cancers
Who is at risk?
The 3 most common types of cancer of the female reproductive organs (gynecological cancers) are cervical, endometrial (uterine), and ovarian cancer.
Cervical cancer can affect any woman who is – or has been – sexually active with a man or woman. It occurs in women who have had a virus called human papilloma virus (HPV), although most women with this virus do not develop cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is also more likely in women who smoke, have HIV or AIDS, or haven't had regular Pap tests.
Endometrial cancer starts in the lining of the uterus. A woman's hormone balance plays a part in the development of most endometrial cancers. This cancer is more likely in women who have taken estrogen therapy without progesterone, are obese, have never been pregnant, have never taken oral contraceptives, have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or have a family history of hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).
Ovarian cancer is more likely to occur in women as they get older. Women who have never been pregnant; are obese; have had breast cancer or a family history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer; have never taken oral contraceptives; have taken androgens (male hormones); or have taken estrogen therapy without progesterone are at higher risk for ovarian cancer.
What you can do
The Pap test is used to find cervical cancer; it does not find endometrial or ovarian cancer. The Pap test can find changes in the cervix before they become cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that, starting at age 21, all women begin cervical cancer testing by getting a Pap test every 3 years.
Starting at age 30, the preferred way to screen is with a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. This should be done until age 65. Another reasonable option for women ages 30 to 65 is to get tested every 3 years with just the Pap test.
Yearly testing is no longer needed. But some women (such as those with a history of HIV infection, organ transplant, or DES exposure) may need to be tested more often. These women should follow the advice of a doctor or nurse.
Protecting yourself by using dental dams and condoms during sex may reduce exposure to HPV.
Be aware of symptoms of endometrial and cervical cancers, such as unusual discharge, spotting, or bleeding. Ovarian cancers tend to cause vague symptoms, such as swelling in the stomach area, unusual vaginal bleeding, pelvic pressure, back pain, leg pain, or digestive problems. See a doctor or nurse if you have any of these symptoms.
Lung cancer
Who is at risk?
People who smoke are at greatest risk for lung cancer. Current evidence suggests that lesbians and bisexual women are about twice as likely to smoke compared to heterosexual women.2 Smoking is responsible for 70% of lung cancer deaths among women. Smoking is also linked to many other types of cancer and causes other tobacco-related diseases, too, such as heart disease, bronchitis, stroke, and emphysema.
What you can do
Lung cancer is one of the few cancers that can often be prevented simply by not smoking. If you don't smoke, don't start. You can also reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke by seeking smoke-free places. If you or a loved one smokes, talk to a health care provider about quitting, or call 1-800-227-2345 to find out how we can help increase your chances of quitting for good.
Certain women at high risk for lung cancer may want to talk to a doctor about whether getting a low-dose CT scan to screen for early lung cancer is right for them. Screening may benefit adults who are active or former smokers between the ages of 55 and 74, who have no signs of lung cancer, and who have a 30 pack-year smoking history. (A pack-year is 1 pack of cigarettes per day per year. One pack per day for 30 years or 2 packs per day for 15 years would both be 30 pack-years.) You should discuss the benefits, limitations, and risks of screening with a doctor before testing is done.
Skin cancer
Who is at risk?
Anyone who spends a lot of time in the sun is at risk for skin cancer. People with fair skin, especially those with blond or red hair, are at greater risk than people with darker coloring. Those who have had close family members with melanoma or who had severe sunburns before the age of 18 are at higher risk for skin cancer.
What you can do
Most skin cancers can be prevented by staying out of the midday sun for long periods of time. Here are some other things you can do to help prevent skin cancer:
- Protect your skin by wearing hats with wide brims, long-sleeved shirts, and sunglasses when you are outside.
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher on all exposed skin. Sunscreens should block both UVA and UVB sun rays, and should be applied at least 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Be sure to wear sunscreen on cloudy or overcast days too because UV rays travel through clouds.
- Avoid other sources of UV light, like tanning beds and sun lamps. These are dangerous and can damage your skin.
- Know your skin, and report any skin changes to a doctor or nurse. Have a skin exam done during your regular health check-ups.
Finding cancer early
Early detection – finding cancer while it's small, before you have symptoms, and before it has spread – gives you the best chance of getting treatment that works.
All women should see a doctor or nurse on a regular basis, learn about the benefits and limitations of testing, and get the cancer screening tests that are right for them. They should also try to make healthy lifestyle choices that help reduce cancer risk.
Knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help reduce your risk for cancer or find it early may save your life or the life of someone you love.

Cocksure Men: Shawn Hunter and Park Wiley
Southern gentleman Shawn Hunter pairs up with urban hipster Park Wiley in this hardcore scene at Cocksure Men. Park may be the bottom, but make no mistake: He's the one in charge, throwing Shawn down and using his body any way he wants. Park blows his load getting fucked, but he's immediately ready for more and gets into a 69 with Shawn before getting plowed again. At the end, Park gets Shawn's load blown right in his face. Just where he wanted it. Park Wiley is putting the "power" back in bottom!

Occupy Wall Street live: protesters regroup after eviction
Posted on November 16, 2011 | By admin | Leave a response
1.31pm: Despite Mayor Bloomberg's office assuring protesters through Twitter that the 'people's library' was safe and well, some of Occupy Wall Street's librarians have been to see the books taken on Tuesday morning and complain some items are damaged or missing.
The Occupy Wall Street library blog quotes people at the sanitation centre as saying "many books [have been] destroyed".
One of the librarians has compiled a list of what is missing:
* Between 2,000 and 4,000 books (we'll know if it looks right when we see it ), this includes five boxes of "Reference" materials many of which were autographed by the authors;
* Our custom made "OWS library stamps;"
* 5 (4?) laptop computers;
* Our wifi device;
* miscellaneous paper supplies;
* A round portable table;
* a rectangular portable table;
* 6 metal shelves (five of which had been set up in two pieces);
* three sets of wooden drawers;
* a periodicals spinning rack;
* Approximately 60 plastic tubs/bins of varying sizes (most small, but several big);
* archival materials (I was starting to collect some stuff in the library);
* posters (including many original posters created by OWS participants);
* two lamps;
* four solar lights;
* 7 (or so) chairs;
* a wooden dinner table (that was our's right?);
* periodicals/newspapers/zines (not counted in our book total);
* our awesome tent;
* signage;
* personal belongings of librarians;
1.10pm: Daniel Alterman, one of the lawyers from the National Lawyers Guild who represented OWS in their attempts to take back Zuccotti Park on Tuesday, said he was concerned about police going beyond rules they could legally enforce at the park, Karen McVeigh reports.
He said that police efforts to impose a ban on sleeping bags could be challenged.
"We've very concerned that the camping equipment was seized and was either thrown out or is not being made available" said Alterman.
"We are also concerned about unreasonable searches going on in the park. They are trying to say that you cannot bring a sleeping bag into the park. In our view that could be challengable."
Alterman said lawyers were talking about these issues and would decide later today whether to take any action. They will also decide whether to appeal Justice Michael Stillman's decision not to grant an emergency order which would have allowed activist back into Zuccotti Park with their tents.
1.06pm: On the East side of Zuccotti Park, where Occupy Wall Street had built up a considerable collection of books in the so-called People's Library, members of the library committee are laying out freshly donated books in plastic bags to protect them from the rain, writes Karen McVeigh.
Stephen Boyer, 32, from the library committee said that, over the last hour, the library has already triped in size.
"Yesterday there was so much press about the destruction of the library and 5500 books that Mayor Bloomberg put out a picture saying they hadn't been destroyed. But we've had donations come in fast. In the last hour, it's tripled in size."
Boyer said that people from the committee were "trying to salvage what they can" from the Sanitation Department garage where the city dumped all the confiscated property from the eviction. But he wasn't confident that much could be salvaged.
"Ten computers donated to us were all destroyed. The majority of the books are destroyed."
In the process of Tuesday's eviction, during which police confiscated tents, clothing, backpacks and other property, protesters claim more than 5000 books from the library were thrown into a dumpster truck and destroyed. The mayor's office then tweeted a picture and the message that "Property from #Zuccotti, incl #OWS library, safely stored @ 57th St Sanit Garage; can be picked up Weds."
According to the city's eviction notice, the "property will be stored at the Department of Sanitation parking garage at 650 West 57th St."
But the librarians dispute this: "It was clear from the livestream and witnesses inside the park that the property was destroyed by police and DSNY workers before it was thrown in dumpsters."
12.12pm: A small group of up to 40 diehards who stayed in Zuccotti Park all through Tuesday night, after the previous day's eviction, were tired and dazed after two nights of little rest, writes Karen McVeigh.
Anyone found lying down and even a few of those who tried to sleep sitting up were woken by security guards for Brookfield Properties, the park's owners, in a fresh crackdown of strict rules, which, in case anyone is in any doubt, have been posted on metal plaques around the park. Huddles of security guards in yellow jackets were dotted around the park, while metal barricades surround it. There are a couple of entrances and police were searching those with large bags attempting to enter.
Kristopher Cook, 32, from Buffalo, New York, has been with the protest for a month, said the police and security guards were no longer allowing people to sleep in the park.
"I tried to get some sleep. I didn't have a sleeping bag or anything because they took all my stuff – my tent, my clothes and all I had. But a female cop came and told me to sit up, she wouldn't allow me to lie down."
Cook said that he was unable to go and collect his confiscated belongings from the Sanitation Department, where the city authorities told protesters they could collect them, because he did not have proper ID.
"I've got a social security card and a metro card with photo ID and that's it."
Another protester, Alex Wilkins, 24, from Yonkers New York, said he stayed all night in the park with about between 30-50 others.
"They were scattered around the park," Wilkins, who arrived at the protest on Tuesday after seeing the eviction being live streamed by Occupy, said.
"I managed to sleep for about two hours. The sign outside says you can't lie down and I saw the guards enforcing it all around, but it seemed to be totally arbitrary. There was one girl who wasn't even lying down, she was trying to sleep sitting up but they disturbed her. No-one got much sleep.'
"We're not allowed tents, sleeping bags, large backbacks. We're not allowed cardboard but if it's written on, they allow it because then it's a sign."
Wilkins said there was a "bit" of trouble as protesters, tired from lack of sleep and bored, fought with security guards and vice versa: "The security guards are bored too."
He was concerned that the security guards have no identification badges.
"None of the Brookfield guys have badges. They have no accountability to us. And the enforcement of these rules seem to be entirely arbitrary."
Others in the park said they had spent the night with friends or in subway tunnels as they were warmer than the park.
11.40am: A London update – officials have attached eviction notices to protest tents outside St Paul's Cathedral, asking demonstrators to remove the camp within a day or face legal action.
The notices posted by the City of London corporation said the encampment was "an unlawful obstruction" of a sidewalk, and asked protesters to take down "all tents and other structures" by 6pm (1pm EST) Thursday.
Cathedral and city officials had suspended legal action to remove the camp two weeks ago, and offered the protesters a deal to allow them to stay until the new year if they then agreed to leave. But the corporation said Tuesday that talks had failed and it was resuming legal action.
If the tents are not removed, the corporation says it will go to court seeking an eviction notice – a process that could take weeks or months.
More than 200 tents have been pitched outside the famous domed church since Oct. 15 in a protest against capitalist excess inspired by New York's Occupy Wall Street, and the protesters said they would resist attempts to move them.
"We will contest it," spokeswoman Naomi Colvin said. "We will be speaking to our legal team and we will be fighting it."
The governing Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral said in a statement that it recognized "the local authority's statutory right to proceed with the action it has today," but would continue to meet with protesters in a bid to find a peaceful solution.
10.56am: AP reports that an 84-year-old woman and a pregnant woman were among the protesters pepper-sprayed at an Occupy demonstration in Seattle on Tuesday.
"Police police scattered a crowd of rowdy protesters … with blasts of pepper spray," the agency said.
The picture below shows 84-year-old Dorli Rainey after she was hit by the spray. The image looks dramatic but it should be noted that the fluid dripping from Rainey's face is probably a solution applied by medics to calm the effects of the pepper spray.
Seattle protest organizers apparently denounced the use of force, saying that police indiscriminately sprayed the chemical irritant at peaceful protesters.
From AP:
The Occupy Seattle movement released a written statement late Tuesday expressing support for "a 4-foot 10-inch, 84-year-old woman, a priest and a pregnant woman who as of this writing is still in the hospital."
Dorli Rainey is an activist who has supported liberal causes in the Seattle area for decades. A photo showing Rainey being cared for by fellow activists in the immediate aftermath of the police incident appeared on news websites around the world.
Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel said he didn't have specifics on the Rainey incident, but he said pepper spray is "is not age specific. No more dangerous to someone who is 10 or someone who is 80."
He added, that if it were harmful, "we probably wouldn't be using pepper spray if that was the case."
Kappel said police had not yet established whether a pregnant woman was involved.
Paramedics examined a handful of people, including a 19-year-old woman who was three-months pregnant, Seattle fire department spokesman Kyle Moore said. The Seattle Times reported on its website that the woman was taken by ambulance to Harborview Medical Center.
This photo shows the pepper spray being deployed by police:
10.30am: Occupy Wall Street's website has a list of the action they are planning tomorrow.
It begins with a bid to "shut down Wall Street", and includes a bid to occupy the subways. From the OWS site:
BREAKFAST: Shut Down Wall Street – 7am
Enough of this economy that exploits and divides us. It's time we put an end to Wall Street's reign of terror and begin building an economy that works for all. We will gather in Liberty Square at 7am, before the ring of the Trading Floor Bell, to prepare to confront Wall Street with the stories of people on the frontlines of economic injustice. There, before the Stock Exchange, we will exchange stories rather than stocks.
LUNCH: Occupy The Subways – 3pm
We will start by Occupying Our Blocks! Then throughout the five boroughs, we will gather at 16 central subway hubs and take our own stories to the trains, using the "People's Mic".
DINNER: Take The Square – 5pm
At 5pm, tens of thousands of people will gather at Foley Square (just across from City Hall) in solidarity with laborers demanding jobs to rebuild this country's infrastructure and economy. A gospel choir and a marching band will also be performing.
Afterwards we will march to our bridges. Let's make it as musical a march as possible – bring your songs, your voice, your spirit! Our "Musical" on the bridge will culminate in a festival of light as we mark the two-month anniversary of the #occupy movement, and our commitment to shining light into our broken economic and political system.
10am: On Tuesday morning Occupy Wall Street protesters were removed from their base at Zuccotti Park, two days shy of their two month anniversary.
This morning a small group of protesters have returned to the base in Lower Manhattan, after a chaotic day yesterday which saw protesters decamp to Foley Square half a mile from Zuccotti, briefly occupy Duarte Square after a protest march, and fail in their court bid to win the right to resume camping in Lower Manhattan.
On Thursday Occupy demonstrators were already planning an 'Occupy Everywhere' day of action, with call for action across the globe.
In New York protesters say they will "shut down Wall Street" at 7am, before protesting at various Subway stations around New York. In the evening a march is planned from Foley Square to Brooklyn Bridge – where some 700 protesters were arrested in October.
Follow live coverage as planning continues for Thursday's day of action, and as protesters adjust to having lost their Zuccotti Park base.

On the Road with the Commissioner of Tailgating
December 27, 2011
15 years ago, Joe Cahn left his New Orleans based cooking school business behind to hit the road and experience everything that the world of tailgating has to offer.
Since then, the self-proclaimed Commissioner of Tailgating and founder of Tailgating.com has traveled countless miles from stadium to stadium and has amassed a wealth of tailgating stories and advice, some of which he shares with the Grilling.com community today.
So where did this wild tailgating journey begin?
I first hit the road in September 1996, traveling to the Metrodome in Minneapolis. This was the first game at which tailgating was allowed at the stadium. During that first year I went to every NFL stadium and have since tailgated at over 800 venues and have traveled over 800,000 miles.
When did you first decide to turn your love of tailgating in to a full time job?
It didn't begin as a full time job; it sort of evolved over time. In the beginning I wanted to see if I could live in a motor home, travel the country meeting new people, and possibly create a TV series about the people and food I encountered along the way in the spirit of Charles Kuralt's "On the Road." Sixteen years later and I'm very fortunate to have some great sponsors that allow me to do what I love including the American Aluminum Association which is not only a great partner, but a great cause educating people about safety in the parking lots as well as the benefits of recycling.
So you've been to every pro football stadium, over 125 college stadiums and 20 NASCAR tracks. Is there a favorite among them all?
Wherever I am at the time! Big, small, high school, college, pro…I love them all. When it comes to grilling, though, I would say Houston. The Texans have space, they have big, innovative rigs, and people are doing proper low and slow brisket by starting it at home and finishing it at the stadium. But it's not only the people with professional rigs who make a showing; it's the people doing it themselves who are so impressive, making smokers and grills out of whatever they can get their hands on.
So having perfected the art of tailgating, perhaps you could share a few words of advice for those looking to step up their parking lot game?
Whether grilling at home or before the game, I always recommend keeping it simple. For whatever reason we all try to go overboard when we are entertaining, creating too many complicated dishes that we aren't very familiar or comfortable with. The result is that the cook spends all of his time preparing and no time enjoying his or her friends and family. Keep it simple. Also, always have a designated griller, someone who doesn't have a drink in his or her hand so we don't end up with a bunch of burnt food!
Any advice when it comes to the food itself?
The real key to tailgate entertaining is what I call "reception food." People don't want to be sitting on a folding chair trying to slice a steak on your lap on a paper plate and with a plastic knife. Think bite sized. Instead of serving full sausages, cut them in to slices and serve with toothpicks. Instead of ¼ pound burgers, serve sliders. Kebobs work well because they are portable and easy to eat as are ribs because of the built-in handle! Treat your tailgating event as the reception before the banquet.
And some advice for the first time tailgater?
Again, keep it simple. My suggestion is to bring a couple of sandwiches, maybe pick up a couple of pre-made dishes from the market, and spend your time walking around experiencing what tailgating is all about. Also, a checklist is a must. And the number one thing on every tailgater's checklist should be "tickets." Nothing is worse than having a great time at the tailgate then realizing that you can't get in to the actual game!
At Grilling.com we talk a lot about regional flavors, cooking techniques and specialty dishes. What are some of the local favorites you have encountered on the road?
Well you always have the standards – the hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers and ribs – but then you get people who are more adventurous and want to have fun with it. I've had brisket in Dallas, grits in Atlanta, brats in Green Bay, smoked salmon in Seattle, muffalettas in New Orleans, wings in Buffalo, lobster in New England and so on. Themes are also very big among tailgaters, whether it's a certain cuisine such as Italian or Southern, or creating a menu that plays to the color scheme and regional tastes of the day's opponent.
Finally, we have heard some great things about your tailgater jambalaya and are grateful that you have provided the recipe for our readers. Why'd you decide on this as your signature dish?
Jambalaya is the perfect tailgating food. It's an easy to do, one pot meal that can be started at home, wrapped in a blanket, and be ready to eat at the stadium three hours later. It feeds a whole lot of people, it's easy to serve (again, keeping it simple) and there's very little cleanup!
Thanks again for your insight, Joe, and we hope to hear more about your journeys very soon at Grilling.com!
