I'm planning on getting a 7 gallon grafted tree from pine island nursery. I already have a small grafted pace mamey, but I will need to wait a year or so for it to start flowering. I'm thinking about getting another one that is already or about to flower. But, I'm undecided whether to get the green sapote or the mamey sapote. I'll appreciate any advice. :) |

In my experience, small grafted mameys don't bloom in a year. Maybe yours will, but mine go many years before blooming and even more before setting fruit. In my opinion, Green Sapote is better than Mamey, but it produces a smaller fruit and I think may even longer to fruit than Mamey. I have seen only two fruiting Green Sapote trees in my years of fruit hobbying. One is at the TREC facility in Homestead and that is where Pine Island is getting their plant material to do the grafts. The other was at Bill Whitman's home. Green Sapote does get to be a much larger tree than Mamey from what I have observed. However, both are painfully slow in growing. Mamey also seems to be much more prone to some of our local chewing bugs (especially the Cuban May beetle) which, like most Cubans, much prefer the delicious leaves of the Mamey to more foreign Green Sapote. Harry |
Another factor to consider is how long it is from flower to fruit. Mamey can be up to 18 months for a fruit to mature, which is painful, Green I believe is less than half that. Gary |
Here in my area I have seen only one mamey tree that produces fruit. The tree is over 20 years old, but it takes it 26 months from flower to edible fruit. It usually has fruit growing at different stages of development. The leaf weevil loves my green sapote tree, but does not attack my 1 year old mamey seedling. A good friend of mine has a mamey tree that he grafted, it is only 3 feet tall, flowers but has yet to set fruit. Mamey trees are usually planted for your heirs to enjoy, because depending on your age in your lifetime you may never get to eat fruit from that tree. |

Nice. My grafted pace mamey is like about 4ft tall with juvenile-like branches that are pretty long, but covered with leaves from top to bottom. It might flower next season. Seems to be growing pretty quickly. Lets see. I might get a 15 gallon or even a 25gallon mamey sapote that are already fruiting in the pot. I've had a grafted mamey a long time ago and the beetle attacked the leaves. This time they don't attack my new grafted mamey, nor the seedling. My old one died from a huge weed-whacking accident and it had one small mamey fruit. I've learned from my mistakes and it won't happen again. Thanks for your help! :) |

I went by Spykes Tropical Nursery in Davie where I bought my 3 gallon grafted pace mamey last year and I purchased a healthy 15 gallon sweetsop (anon, sugar apple). It is about 5 1/2 ft tall with 4 sugar apple fruits and one flower. :) |
Ouch! Spykes sure likes to spike their prices. Are they in competition with TOP to see who can outdo each other with the most inflated prices? |
- Posted by tropicalgrower89 10b (My Page) on Sun, Aug 1, 10 at 17:25
Well... From what I saw, Top is worse. lol Actually, as a price comparison example, a 7 gallon mamey in Top is 79.95 bucks, while in Spyke, it is 59.95. I'll post a picture of the sugar apple I bought. Also, this nursery was close to my house compared to the ones in the homestead area and it is open 7 days a week. :) |

Feb 26, 2013 1:00 PM by Halimah Abdullah - CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel's rocky and inauspicious path to the Pentagon could haunt him if he doesn't watch his step.
"If people feel Hagel makes a mistake in the future, they will come after him even harder than if this ugly process of recent weeks hadn't happened," said Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a co-author of "Bending History: Barack Obama's Foreign Policy."
Hagel's nomination has been subject to harsh criticism from some Republicans over past statements on sensitive political and national security matters. A shaky performance at his Senate confirmation hearing and subsequent political wrangling over his selection and on unrelated matters have not helped his case.
Nevertheless, his nomination easily cleared a Senate test vote, 71-27, on Tuesday, breaking Republican attempts to delay consideration further and setting up what is expected to be a final vote in favor of his confirmation later in the day.
"He won't be damaged goods---at least not compared with the damage we've already done ourselves through the sequestration dilemma we now face," O'Hanlon said, referring to the latest budget drama now consuming Washington.
"That problem, not at all of his making, will trump bad feelings about him in the coming weeks and change the conversation," he said.
Those bad feelings about Hagel stem, in part, from his 2007 comments that the "Jewish lobby intimidated lawmakers." Republicans who are already uncomfortable with President Barack Obama's policies toward Israel are uncomfortable with a defense secretary holding such views.
The decorated Vietnam veteran's criticism of the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, and his past positions on Iran and on U.S. military intervention also raised red flags with his opponents.
In 1998, he spoke about an ambassadorial nominee as being "openly, aggressively gay," remarks for which he has since apologized.
And Hagel hasn't been sparing in his criticism of conservative and GOP figures, saying radio show hosts like Rush Limbaugh "try to rip everybody down" but "don't have any answers," and labeling George W. Bush as callous on Iraq when he was president.
Last week, 15 GOP senators sent a letter to Obama calling on him to withdraw Hagel's nomination.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a fierce Hagel critic, did not sign the letter.
But he has led the charge against him in the Senate, stalling the nomination at one point in exchange for more information from the White House on the deadly September terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
"I don't believe Chuck Hagel, who is a friend of mine, is qualified to be secretary of defense. But I do believe that elections have consequences, unfortunately, and the president of the United States was re-elected," McCain said on "State of the Union.
That sentiment that has gained traction in conservative circles.
"There is simply no way to sugar coat it Senator Hagel's performance before the Senate Armed Services Committee was remarkably inept and we should not be installing a defense secretary who is obviously not qualified for the job and who holds dangerously misguided views on some of the most important issues facing national security policy for our country," said Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas.
There is no small amount of politics behind the Hagel pushback, some political experts say.
"There is an element of strategic calculation going on here," Alan Abramowitz, a political science professor at Emory University said recently. "They see him as being more vulnerable and they have a chance to stop this nomination or embarrass the president or at least make it more difficult for him."
Some Republicans also believe that Hagel, like Susan Rice, was vulnerable, according to political experts.
Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, withdrew her name from consideration for secretary of state after drawing heavy criticism from McCain and other Republicans over her public statements about the Benghazi attack.
A Democratic proponent of Hagel's, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said Sunday the president's choice to head the Pentagon was receiving undue criticism from Republicans.
"The president wants him in the room as he's making important decisions. There's no question about his integrity of character. I think the president deserves to have the Cabinet he wants as long as the person is qualified," she said on "Fox News Sunday."
"He's qualified, and I think it's despicable how his character has been impugned by some people through innuendo and inference," McCaskill added.
The consternation over Hagel's confirmation has been "kabuki theater," said David Rothkopf, editor of Foreign Policy magazine.
"The political divisions that dictated the pace and twists of his confirmation process pre-date him and will post-date his confirmation," Rothkopf said. "The reality is that Hagel won't drive (defense) policy, the president and Hill politics will."
And time will heal even these political wounds, Rothkopf said.
"The margin of his confirmation victory won't impact this in any way except perhaps in terms of rhetoric," he said. "It's time we ... confirm him and get to the real issues impacting our national security --- from resolving budget issues to devising appropriate plans to deal with getting out of Afghanistan and facing new threats as they emerge."

Mozilla scraps Metro version of Firefox, citing low interest
After more than two years of work, Mozilla has scrapped its effort to build a Metro-specific version of Firefox for Windows 8, saying that users have shown almost no interest.
Microsoft designed what it previously called the Metro interface for touch-screen devices like tablets and introduced it with Windows 8 along with a version of Internet Explorer designed to run on it. Two years ago, after winning a debate with Microsoft over whether it even could be possible to bring a modern third-party browser to Metro, Mozilla embarked on its Firefox for Metro journey.

This whole Paleo vegetarian challenge is definitely…challenging. But with a little pre-planning this soup & salad combo was a quick throw together lunch.
I can totally do salads and soups, but how boring would 28 days of that be? I like food with flare, stuff that's not ordinary, edible art and I wanted to make new & fun Paleo vegetarian meals. Dishes we could incorporate into our regular menu, along with meat, when I'm done with this challenge.
I make salads quite often and soups every once in a while but the point of this was to get creative with veggies and provide alternatives for Paleo vegetarians and so far there's been lots of frustration in the kitchen.
This past weekend, before I started this whole veggie showdown, I did some recipe research looking for more variety beyond soup & salad. I gathered some ideas to build off of but so far there's a few things that have been catching me up.
I can't believe how dependent Jeff & I are on meat and eggs. That's not a bad thing but one of the reasons I wanted to do this challenge was to focus on incorporating more veggies into our diet. And when you get rid of everything else, it's pretty hard not to have more of them. :p
Now I know why there's so many vegetarian and vegan bloggers with so many dessert recipes. Sugar seems to be the replacement for meat & protein. That's a big problem for me. I refuse to become a sugar-burner when I've worked so hard to become a fat-burner over the last year and I already know how sugar affects me. Unless I want to be all Hulk-Smash everyday I've got to really watch the sugar intake and that includes fruit.
I don't have a typical go-to quick meal yet. I mean it's only been
four days, well I guess three since I cheated on day 1…but still. When I came home from CrossFit the last couple days all I've wanted to have were eggs or tuna or leftover korean short ribs or leftover turkey…and yeah, that's not ok. Initially I said I would keep eggs & fish as extra protein in my diet but I didn't want that to happen every day! Gosh.
On Wednesday I put together a hot Paleo vegetarian meal and I can't wait to share that. Plus, stay tuned for the recipe for the Spicy-Garlic Cruciferous Soup. First things first, let's get to the Rocket salad! :)

MISSOULA — University of Montana Grizzlies starting quarterback Jordan Johnson is to appear in court next week to counter a temporary restraining order granted to a woman who says he sexually assaulted her.
"We deny the allegation," David Paoli, Johnson's attorney, said Friday. No charges against Johnson have been filed, according to the Missoula County Attorney's Office.
Johnson and the woman are acquaintances, Paoli said. The alleged incident happened last month. Johnson did not return calls for comment.
Paoli said he's had no communication with UM about the order. "I'm dealing with my client on that, not the university," he said.
UM vice president Jim Foley said that neither he, nor president Royce Engstrom, nor athletic director Jim O'Day knew about the restraining order until Thursday evening.
"With regard to practice and his being on the team, we'll decide on those actions over the course of the next couple of days," Foley said Friday.
He said he's spoken with Engstrom and with Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir about the details of the allegation.
The order filed March 9 states that Johnson must not threaten or harass the woman, and must stay at least 1,500 feet away from her and her home. The Missoula County Sheriff's Office presented it Monday to Paoli, according to court records.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Missoula Municipal Court on whether to continue the restraining order against Johnson. Paoli, a former Griz player and member of the National Advisory Board for Grizzly Athletics, said he expects testimony from both sides.
The university is under intense scrutiny for the way it handles sexual assault cases. In December, it appointed former Supreme Court Justice Diane Barz to review the issue after allegations that two students were drugged and gang-raped by several male students that month. Barz's report, filed in January, focused on nine alleged sexual assaults between September 2010 and December 2011.
Another UM football player, Beau Donaldson, was charged with sexual intercourse without consent in connection with one of the cases cited in Barz's investigation.
In response to the Barz report, Engstrom has asked administrators "for a change in standards and expectations, particularly around our athletic program. I have received from the athletic program a new student athlete code. Essentially, it's more rigorous, with a separate body who will do the disciplining of a student who finds him or herself violating the code."

To play the AVCHD Lite video files generated by the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 smoothly on Mac, the AVCHD Lite must be converted to QuickTime compatible format, like MOV, MP4, etc. Here comes Pavtube AVCHD to MOV Converter to help you convert M2TS to MOV, convert AVCHD Lite to MOV, and convert MTS to MOV. Read through the following guide to get what you are looking for.
Step One. Free download, install and launch the Mac MTS to QuickTime Converter.
Once you run it, click "Add Video" or "Add from folder" icon to load the source AVCHD/AVCHD Lite MTS files.
Step Two. Select QuickTime (*.mov ) or H.264 Video (*.mov) as output format for QuickTime
In order to encode M2TS to MOV, you should select MOV as target format. Simply click on the drop-down list of "Format", and follow "Common Video"> "MOV-QuickTime (*.mov)".
Step Three. Click "Settings" button to adjust video and audio parameters
Notice that which parameter to select has close relationship with the hardware configurations of your computer. For common MOV video files, you may use the video and audio parameters as the image below shows:

Wordless Wednesday: Lemon Rainbow Cake
Nope, I didn't make this. Virtual Frolic made it as a special surprise for my birthday (which is later this week). The colors were so alluring and vibrant — it's almost too pretty to eat! Flavored with lemon, it was both refreshing and satisfying. It made for a delish dessert after strawberry picking.
Mmm. Good cake.

The Tech Bench: Backing Up and Restoring MySQL Databases
The best advice I've ever heard is: if your data is important to you at all, then you should back it up. What would happen if you suddenly lost it? How devastating would it be? Backing up is such a simple step, and can potentially save you many hours of work, stress, and possibly your job (if the data is that important).
Even if your web host backs up your data, you can never have too many backups.
To backup a database, we simply need to export the database. To restore it, we need to import the database. I'll show you how to do both using a few different methods.
Backing up / Exporting
Backing up a Single Database from within cPanel
In cPanel, you can download a copy of your database by simply logging into cPanel and clicking on the 'Backup' icon.
Then click on the link for your database name. It will prompt you to download your database in a compressed archive (tar.gz) to your local computer.
Backing up a single database with command line
If you prefer the command line and SSH, you can backup your database using a single command:
mysqldump -Q –add-drop-table your_database_name > file.sql
Don't know how to log into your server via SSH?
Backing up all databases to separate files
If you would like to play it safe or know that you have many different databases that are all important, then you can run a 'for' loop to individually dump all databases to their own file:
First, create a directory where all the dumps will go and create an empty list of all the database names:
mkdir /root/database_backups ; touch /root/database_backups/list-of-databases
Then, run the 'for' loop to dump the databases and generate the list of database names:
for db in `mysql -e 'show databases' | grep -v Database` ; do mysqldump -Q –add-drop-table $db > /root/database_backups/$db.sql && echo $db >> /root/database_backups/list-of-databases ; done
Restoring / Importing
In the event that you've got missing data, corrupt tables, or generally something went wrong, don't worry! You have backups that you can restore from. Here's how you restore databases from the backups you took above.
Restoring from phpMyAdmin
First, you'll need to log into phpMyAdmin. From cPanel, it is found in Databases section.
Once inside, you'll select your database on the left-hand side. This is the database that you want to import that data into.
**Warning: This will overwrite your existing tables.**
Once you have the database selected, click on the 'import' tab at the top.
Click 'Browse' and navigate to the file on your local computer.
Look over the various options. Most times, you can just leave them as is. If you don't know what the options are, I'd advise just to leave them set to default.
Hit 'Go'.
Restore a single database from command line
If you are logged in as root, simply run:
mysql db_name < file.sql
Make note of the direction that the arrow (greater-than sign) is pointing. This indicates the direction where the data is going. In this case, the arrow points to the left towards the MySQL database name. This indicates that the data is being imported from the .sql file and to the server's MySQL database, which is exactly what we want.
If you don't have root access, you can still import, but the command requires a couple more flags and for you to know the database credentials:
mysql -p -u db_username db_name < file.sql
It'll prompt you for that user's password. Enter it in and the import will begin.
Restore all databases from command line
Remember that command we did to export all databases to their own separate dump files? Well, lets say you wanted to easily import all of them back in for whatever reason. We just need to run another simple 'for' loop in order to get them back in. Basically, we are doing an individual database import, but for each database that is in that 'list-of-databases' that we generated earlier:
for db in `cat /root/database_backups/list-of-databases` ; do mysql $db < /root/database_backups/$db.sql ; done
Once that finishes, you'll have all your exported databases fully restored back as they once were: Fast, safe, and easy!
Final thoughts
If you have a huge database, running a mysqldump can cause your entire website to go down. This is because you are locking the tables during the dump (cPanel backups can do the same thing). If you are worried about this, be sure to perform your backup export during a time of low site traffic. With that said, SQL backups are a great idea. An equally good idea is to occasionally try to restore your backups (to make sure they are good). Simply restore them to a different database name if you don't want to overwrite a running database.

Iconic rockabilly/cowpunk crooner Dwight Yoakam is touring in support of his acclaimed album '3 Pears'
The evolution of country music has been schizophrenic the last 30 years, going from traditional to bland pop to neo-traditional to a harder rock edge and back again with no seeming rhyme or reason. These days Nashville seems dominated by the guys doing country rock and the ladies pure pop.
However, there are some artists who have stood their ground as the changes swirled around them,determined to let their musical inspiration be dictated by what their heart tells them is right.
One of the most brilliant of these country artists is Dwight Yoakam, who ironically enough, managed to stay true to himself by bypassing Nashville and going west to southern California, where he developed his own unique twist on the Bakersfield sound of roadhouse rockabilly and wailing laments about pain and heartache. He not only found success with the cowpunk movement, but also as an acclaimed character actor in such movies as Sling Blade, Crank, Panic Room and The Newton Boys.
Now he is back with an acclaimed new album, 3 Pears, his first one of new music in seven years, and a tour that stops at the Golden Nugget this Saturday, Jan. 26.
A few years back he talked about his career with Atlantic City Weekly and his work toward a new album.
"It sounds trite to say I can't label what I do. Certainly it's country music, but I know it has transcended that at various times. I've been writing of lot of things recently for an upcoming album that I hope to do this year that is beyond [the country] boundary."
He also noted that his acting career was also based on an interest in acting that paralleled his interest in making music.
"I did theater growing up, nothing sophisticated, high school, but then I set it aside. I did a play when I first got to California and realized that actors are at the mercy of opportunity, that it's a struggle, so I focused on my first love, my music."
"When I really decided I wanted to do this, it was during The Highwaymen tour. I was probably about 15; that's when country became like rock 'n' roll to me. I remember Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. It was nothing fancy they were doing but it was very hardcore."
Dwight Yoakam is out on tour with new music for the first time in a while, seven years to be exact, and that gave his concert last night at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City an extra spark. Not that Yoakam has ever needed added motivation to be engaged and dynamic on-stage.
Plus, Winter Prose and Poetry Getaway at Seaview, the Album of the Week and Drew Toonz
Plus other outstanding releases of the year, including several extraordinary re-issues from the Fat Boys, Velvet Underground and the soundtrack to the documentary 'Searching for Sugar Man.'
This is exactly why I spend my working vacation every year at the Toronto International Film Festival. The 35th TIFF takes place this year from Sept. 9-19. This will be my 23rd trip to cover the global cinematic feast. The festival has grown from an understated, unpretentious celebration of emerging filmmakers, to a film festival that officially launches the Oscar buzz season
Dwight Yoakam ignored the conventions of the "get them back to the tables" casino show. He walked out on the Circus Maximus stage at Caesars and proceeded to put on a two-hour plus show that by my count included over 35 songs.
Singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam, who headlines at Caesars this Friday, was the original cowpunk crooner, a visionary who never was a Nashville insider. After he was rejected by the Nashville set in the early 1980s, during one of Music City's bland pop periods, he went to California, following the trail blazed by his musical heroes Merle Haggard and Buck Owens and developed his own unique twist on the Bakersfield sound of roadhouse rockabilly and wailing laments about pain and heartache.

August 11, 2009, 8:45 AM
By Chris Jones
Jeffrey Milstein
On the Atlantic Osprey,the men looked at the wreckage on their monitors and tried to picture how it would respond to being raised. Normally, straps would be looped around the top deck the tangle of mechanics at the base of the main rotor and a crane would hoist the helicopter to the surface. But Chaulk was nervous. He knew that a lot of the components in the rotor's transmission were made from magnesium, which corrodes quickly in water, first turning purple and then into dust. He also knew that the helicopter, even broken open, would bring up thousands of pounds of ocean along with it. Once, Chaulk had watched film of a helicopter recovery in the North Sea: As soon as the wreckage had cleared the surface, the rotor snapped off, and the helicopter sank back to the bottom. It was never recovered. Telling the story, Chaulk covers his eyes with his hand once again. "I said to myself right there, That, I can never let happen to me."
He joined the TSB in 1999, after beginning his career in aircraft maintenance. Now his job was to reverse-engineer what he once did: Instead of figuring out how to keep planes in the sky, he was charged with explaining why they fell out of it. In September 1998, Swissair 111 crashed off Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, shortly before Chaulk began his new job, and his first assignment was to help with the massive effort to reconstruct the plane, an MD-11, piece by tiny piece. The work had made an impression on him. In some ways, a plane that hits water can be more damaged than a plane that hits land, or at least it can be damaged differently. A plane that crashes into the ground crumples and folds into itself, the way cars accordion through their impact zones; a plane that crashes into water usually explodes instead, blown apart from the inside out by the column of water that surges through the fuselage. During the Swissair rebuild, Chaulk would lift a small fragment of wreckage out of the seemingly endless piles in the hangar, identify it, return it to its original shape, and "fracture match" it back into place. The puzzle was eventually finished, but not before Chaulk was repeatedly reminded about the tenderness of our flying machines. The most robust part of them is frequently the bodies they carry.
Now, looking at the monitors, Chaulk decided that was true here, too. Unlike the helicopter, the men on board, still strapped in their seats, looked much as they had when they had lifted off into the morning light. Chaulk stared at the monitors and into their faces he could see their mustaches, their wedding rings and he decided, for one of the first times in his life, that the machine could wait. The bodies would be raised first, on their own. The helicopter they would figure out later.
Chaulk believed there were between ten and thirteen bodies inside the helicopter. After consulting with the ROV operators, he decided the dead would be raised still strapped in their seats. The seats were held in place by latch mechanisms. Fortunately, the ROV's two arms were deft enough for the operators to guide them to push the pins that held the latches in place. Once the latch had been opened, each seat could be tilted forward and lifted out of the tracks that ran along the floor. The seat and the man strapped into it were then gently placed by the ROV into a basket, which was brought to the surface by the ship's crane and laid to rest on the fantail. The body was unstrapped from the seat, the seat and the body were each tagged so they might forever be linked, and the body was zipped into a bag. It was somber work, but the men on the ship were propelled through the night by the feeling that with every husband and father they brought up from the bottom, another family had a chance to fill the hole that had been torn in it.
By Sunday, the crew of the Atlantic Osprey had recovered nine of the passengers. They decided to bring them to port. The ship returned to the crash site the next day, and the men in the windowless container managed to recover the remaining seven passengers Chaulk had been conservative in his earlier counting as well as the helicopter's black box. It was packed into a cooler filled with water and hand-delivered to Ottawa, where a man named Ted Givins was waiting with his computer and headphones. The bodies were taken to Simon Avis and his scalpels.
On Chaulk's third trip to the crash site, with his mind finally able to turn toward the wreckage, he thought about how neatly the pieces of his latest puzzle were falling into place. As recently as the 1970s, that helicopter and the men inside it might have been gone for good, the ocean swallowing them whole, along with their secrets. Instead, in only six hours, Chaulk had found them and the record of their last moments, stored in binary code on memory chips, and he had raised them into the air and the light, and now he believed that they would tell him everything he needed to know. On the deck of the Atlantic Osprey, he would bear witness to the end of mystery.

Well this week hasn't been the focused, relaxing week I was hoping for. Between trying to minimize my annoying injuries, to getting ready for my Grandma's funeral next week…well let's just say my anxiety level is pretty high.
It doesn't help that I only have 8 work days left of the year (yes, the year) which doesn't leave me a lot of time to finish up some projects. I'm averaging 6 hours of sleep a night and I'm exhausted.
Yesterday was the first time I ran since Saturday. I ran just a slow, short 3-miles on the treadmill before my Core Training class. The problem with such short runs is that by the time you start feeling good and find your stride, its over. And I think it will be my last run before Sunday. I haven't hurt this much going into a race before. Not even Seattle.
After my Core Training class the instructor spent about 20 minutes with me teaching me some exercises that will help to open up my hips and loosen up my hamstrings. Then last night I had a deep tissue massage that hurt so bad that I was almost in tears.
But despite all of this, I'm not too worried about being able to run the race. I've pretty much thrown any PR goals out the window, but I know I can still do this. I've ran 9, 10 and 12 miles in the past few weeks, have done a lot more core training this time around and most importantly, allowed myself more rest days. Well, more like my body forced me to have more rest days. But I'm ok with that. A year ago, I wouldn't have been, so I'm learning as I do more of these races, which is my answer to the question of, "Why do you race?"
The Lululemon blog recently had a post written by a guest blogger about why he races. Its an excellent post that I think expresses the sentiments for many runners. Personally for me, a race is not just about the race day; its about my whole training process:
– When I sign up for a new race the first thing I do is find a training program that works for me and map out the entire schedule on my calendar. I love having a daily schedule that tells me what to do and takes the thinking out of it me. My training programs have usually been 12-16 week periods and it feels good to cross off each workout after I've completed it.
– During the training process I religiously track my progress and bury myself in reading magazines, Internet articles, blogs – basically anything that may help me improve my training and preparation.
– I spend weeks building the perfect play list. Music is a huge part of running for me and I create a unique play list for each race. My main music sources are referrals from other runners and tracks from Les Mills classes.
– If its a destination race, planning the trip and who's going with you is all about the process too.
When the race arrives, I view the weekend as a celebration; a culmination of weeks of blood, sweat and tears. I love the experience of going to the expo, picking up my bib and timing chip and going out for a pre-race dinner. On race morning, I feel proud to line up with my fellow racers, compadres, who understand what the past 3-4 months were about. During the race, as each mile passes, I get a little sad knowing the experience is almost over, but the elation of crossing the finish line is priceless. Then, when its all said and done, I can't help but start to think, "When can I do this again?" And another training period begins, with new takeaways of what I learned from previous races.
One more day till the party gets started!
PS And who doesn't love race photos (from the Mermaid 5K two weeks ago)

Why are harps and bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints (Rev. Rev. 5:8+), connected with the Lambs taking the book of the inheritance? Did the prayers of the saints bring about this scene? Would our Lord have commanded His disciples to pray Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth, if (a) God had not meant to bring this to pass, and (b) if the prayers of the saints were not a vital factor in bringing about this glorious result?2
Some view only the elders as possessing the harps and bowls. The fact is that the details of the following description are not appropriate to the living beings. To see them as possessing harps and bowls is unnatural, and to attribute to them priestly functions ignores the priestly function that is distinctive to the elders (Swete; Charles; Lenski).3 Although one of the living creatures handles a golden bowl later in the Apocalypse (Rev. Rev. 15:7+), this bowl is full of wrath and is not seen to reflect a priestly function whereas the golden bowls of incense are priestly in function (Lev. Lev. 4:7; Num. Num. 4:16; 1S. 1S. 2:28).Notes

The platform also consists of interposer boards. These boards route the 120 pin connector signals between the SDP connector and a second connector. They can be used to monitor signal output on the SDP 120 pin connector or to allow SDP daughter boards connect to certain third party FPGA development modules. This allows users to develop system prototypes around their ADI evaluation boards using their preferred FPGA.
The SDP Breakout Board has a 120 pin connector that connects to a controller board and a 120 pin connector that connects to a daughter board. There are through hole probe points on each signal line between the 120 pin connectors.
The BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer has a 120 pin connector for connecting to SDP daughter boards and an edge connector for connecting to Arrows BeMicro SDK.
The SDP-I-FMC interposer has a 120 pin connector for connecting to SDP daughter boards and a FMC LPC connector for connecting to Xilinx FPGA Evaluation Boards.
Interposer boards route signals between connectors. They do not have any additional functionality on board.
The System Demonstration Platform (SDP) is a low cost, re-useable and versatile evaluation system. It is comprised of controller, interposer, system function and daughter boards and is compatible with a growing number of ADI component evaluation boards and Circuits from the Lab™ Reference Circuits.

Manufacturer-to-dealer sales of consumer electronics products will total a record U.S. $101 billion in 2004 – a 5-percent increase compared to 2003 – according to figures released by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). CEA also announced that estimated year-end sales for 2003 total $96.3 billion, marking a 2-percent increase over 2002 figures, exceeding the previous forecast CEA released in July 2003. "Consumer electronics continue to win over American consumers by providing the tools to create, educate, entertain, and connect," said Gary Shapiro, CEA president and CEO. "Consumers have shown that they look to our industry to provide them with the tools to access information, culture, friends, family, and the vast world of possibilities." Sales of stand-alone DVD players maintained its position as the fastest selling technology of all time during 2003 with factory-to-dealer shipments of some 22.1 million units on dollar sales of more than $3 billion for the year, up from 17 million units and $2.4 billion in revenues during 2002. Currently, 50 percent of U.S. households now own at least one DVD player -- a figure that is expected to increase in 2004, as CEA projects DVD player unit sales to reach more than 23.8 million units by the year's end. Total sales of digital television (DTV) products accounted for an estimated $6.1 billion of industry revenues in 2003 on nearly 4 million units, representing a 44-percent increase in sales and a 56-percent increase in units over 2002 figures. Plasma television sales were estimated to reach nearly $1.5 billion in revenues for 2003, up from $515 million in 2002. LCD television sales for 2003 totaled $651 million, compared to $246 million in 2002. CEA projects DTV product sales to total shipments of more than 5.7 million units, with $8 billion in sales. Sales of plasma displays were expected to generate $2.2 billion in 2004, while LCD displays sales were projected to increase to more than $1 billion. Manufacturer-to-dealer sales of direct-to-home satellite systems totaled 9.7 million units on dollar revenues of nearly $1.4 billion in 2003 and sales of personal video recorders (PVRs) increased more than 239 percent over 2002 to $193 million in revenues. Audio equipment sales increased as MP3 players shot past estimates in 2003, despite continuing debates over home recording rights. Factory-to-dealer shipments totaled 3.8 million units during 2003 – an increase of 121 percent compared to 2002 – and are expected to rise again in 2004 to more than 5.1 million units. Dollar revenues of MP3 players for 2003 totaled $556 million, a 171-percent increase over 2002. CEA projects dollar revenues of MP3 players to increase another 27 percent to $706 million for 2004. Digital camera sales totaled some $3.4 billion in revenues for 2003, up 22 percent from 2002, with unit sales of 12.5 million. PC unit sales rose 15 percent with sales totaling $12.5 billion. Sales of wireless telephones increased 20 percent to 70.5 million units on dollar sales of almost $9.2 billion.

quote:Originally posted by David12.75 = 16 might cause confusion because the rule for division by a fraction is generally [and necessarily] taught without explanation. That is so since it's basis lies in a more general knowledge of the number system, albeit in fundamental properties, and young people ready to learn by rote are not ready to encompass that just yet. If there is a problem it is in that the basis for the rule for fractions is not taught later on either, for the most part.It's easier to explain algebraically if the decimal [.75] is seen as a fraction [3/4]..."If this is 3/4 of that, then that is 4/3 of this." It's still not simple to see in terms of physical division of blocks, as in aliquot parts.

Short On Time? 10 Ways To Squeeze In More Sex
Just because you lead a busy life that doesn't mean you should put "have sex with significant other" in your PDA! If you want to keep your sex life spontaneous, you need to begin to see even the most mundane activities of your day in a more sensual context. Remember, what's really sexy is not always being available, but when two people lead independent, exciting lives. Follow these suggestions and you'll keep sparking each other for years to come.
1. Make sure to multitask.
Many women are under the misconception that sex is an activity that needs your full and undivided attention. Not true! In fact, you can have some of the best sex of your life while doing double duty. Hop in the shower together to get clean and dirty at the same time. Get through dinner with your boss by discreetly teasing your man under the table. Multitasking of this manner is not recommended for activities that do require all your attention, like French braiding hair, making stir-fry or Sudoku.
2. Put your kiss on his list.
If the quick kiss you give each other when you leave for work has become automatic, spice things up by savoring the moment. Try going for his neck instead, or playfully bite his lip when he comes in for a smooch. Save the dry pecks on the cheek for grandma.
3. Don't reciprocate.
Sex doesn't always have to be a "you rub my genitalia/I'll rub yours" proposition. If you set up a dynamic in which every sexual action is tit for tat, you not only risk falling into a routine, but you make sex into a project rather than a pleasure. Next time you're pressed for time, let him take care of you—then zip up your jeans and be on your merry way. (Just remember to let him be on the receiving end, at least some of the time!)
4. Beat the clock.
When time is short, seize the opportunity to get down. Guests arriving in ten minutes? Go for it! If you think you won't be able to get in the mood that fast, you'll be surprised how the spontaneity of the moment, combined with the pressure to finish in a hurry can make for an explosive encounter!

Grand Rapids Area Weekend River Flooding Update
A flood advisory continues for Kent and Ionia counties until further notice.
A flood advisory continues for Kent and Ionia counties until further notice.
A flood watch is in effect in Kent and Ottawa counties through Friday morning because of the potential for ice jams in the Grand River, according to the National Weather Service's Grand Rapids Office.
Authorities are telling people to stay away from the Grand River (as in, don't touch it), but a few West Michigan residents decided to take the the flooded river on jet skis and take video of the flooding around the area. And I'm pretty glad they did.
Flooding is still affecting all of West Michigan, and of course, with all of the water comes some road closures in our area. Below is a full and up-to-date list of road closures in our area.
There is a huge potential this week for flooding along the Grand River. So far in April, our area is over 3 inches ABOVE the average monthly rainfall of 1.65 inches.
The forecast for Thursday calls for rain in the morning and storms by afternoon, which could give us an additional 3 inches of rain
There's a lot of buzz around the Grand River these days. There's a group working to restore the rapids in the Grand River, and now a company wants to make it so that you can soar far above it on a zipline! Find out more after the jump!
This Saturday at 9am, hundreds of volunteers will come together with Mayor George Heartwell (Grand Rapids) plus the mayors of Grandville, Walker, and Wyoming to help clean up the Grand River. This year marks the 9th annual Mayor's Grand River Cleanup, and throughout the years, volunteers have managed to clean up over 100,000 pounds of trash from the river and the banks alongside of it. Want to get involved? Find out how you can after the jump!
Over the last two years there have been no ArtPrize entries in the Grand River. This year, art will return to the Grand River during ArtPrize.
There will be two ArtPrize entries in the Grand River in 2012.
March 28 is the deadline to apply for any ArtPrize entry to be displayed in the Grand River. So if you're looking to place a 100 foot rubber ducky in the Grand River, you'd better get busy. If not, there's still plenty to talk about.
Venue registration is open for ArtPrize. Next month artist registration begins. Then at the end of May artists begin to get matched with venues.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Scotland's Melrose Abbey lies in ruins after reformation
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
August 19th, 2011 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Melrose Abbey, a Cistercian abbey in the Borders region of Scotland is
now little more than picturesque ruins. Founded in 1136, it is said to
enshrine the heart of Robert the Bruce. Melrose Abbey as it is known today was founded by king David of Scotland in 1136, and is supposed to have been built in ten years. It was the mother church of the Cistertian order in Scotland. The abbey was damaged by the English in 1322 and 1384. Richard II made it a grant in 1389, as some compensation for the injuries it had sustained in the retreat of his army. Twenty years before the Reformation, there were 120 monks at Melrose Abbey and the possessions of the abbey were extensive. In 1544, King Henry VIII had Melrose Abbey set aflame, and it never recovered. Sixty of the monks are reported to have renounced Catholicism at the Reformation. By 1560, the abbey had ceased to function, its holdings given up in 1561. Its carvings were destroyed by a Protestant mob following the deposition of Mary, Queen of Scots and much of the abbey was carted off by locals needing building material. Visitors should be aware that the best view of Melrose Abbey's exterior is from the southeast side. The Gothic abbey is built in the form of St. John's cross, with a considerable part of its principal tower now in ruins. There are still many very superb windows; the principal one at the east end appears to have been more recently built than the others. The beauty of the carved work, with which the abbey is profusely decorated, is seldom equaled, and has been deservedly celebrated by poets over the years. Alexander II and many of the Scottish kings and nobles are also buried at Melrose. Robert the Bruce's heart is believed to be enshrined in the abbey. A plaque marks its location.

I ended up recording in SD just to be sure, and was glad I did because it was out of sync. Here is the note I recieved from dish today.
Our engineers have been working on the lip sync issue on your local ABC station. Hopefully, by the time you get this, the issue will have cleared.
Either E* is actually working the problem or they just decided to send out these emails to all the people that complained to dishquality.com. I received a very similar letter about ABC being fixed and NBC still being worked on. Do you think these problems were nationwide?

L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Power Moisture Moisture Rush Mask Reviews
Not very good
This is a very heavy mask, does it moisturize my hair? yes. But it also makes it greasy, frizzy and weighed down. How it works for me, is the first 2 days after I use it my hair is horrible and greasy and gross. Then for a day or 2 it's alright, slightly better than it is without this product. Then my hair is back to dry and damaged. Not repurchasing, probably won't even finish it. — 1 year, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Matilda!
Facts about Matilda
- Breed: Lop, English Mix
- Color: Chinchilla
- Age: Young
- Size: Dwarf
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Matilda's Info...
I am housetrained.
Matilda is one lucky bunny, she was saved from a hoarder/breeder in Porter County. She was one of over 70 rabbits saved from a hot garage were rabbits were stacked everywhere.
She is a young adult... she is very social and well handled.
Other Pets at 2x2 Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Matilda, a Merrillville Lop, English was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Lop, English for sale in Merrillville, or seeking a Lop, English from a breeder in Merrillville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Merrillville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Merrillville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Lop, English breeders who help with Lop, English rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Merrillville paves the way for another one to be saved.

text: Annie Mac dropped this as her "special delivery" earlier today, and it's well worth the distinction. We've been waiting for Katy B to hit us with some new tunes, and she's definitely come with a heater. We're not sure who was on the boards for this one, but it has that throwback house vibe that's been taking over right now, with Katy adding her lovely vocals overtop. The best news? Pre-orders for this one are coming "soon," and it looks like a new Katy B album could be out in October.

This fabric takes honours as one of the few pieces I actually cut into within a week after purchase. I really wanted a top, and wanted to showcase this gorgeous pattern. There was only a metre of the fabric however.
I did think about it for it a fair bit (a week's worth of travel time, shower time and dream time surely counts) but couldn't come up with anything better than this. Maybe there's just a problem with my imagination.
I based this on a shift dress pattern and had a grand time fitting and fitting the back darts to give it a bit of shape. I have quite a swayback, but I managed to make it fit quite well at the back (even Mr Tropical agreed!) so I'm proud of myself.
I had to figure out the knotted-neck-hole thing myself. I was ambitious and wanted to line it and all with contrasting melon fabric, which turned out to be a bit too much for my low skillz! But oh well, I think it looks okay.
I did take pics of the whole process so if anyone is interested in making a similar one (less the contrast strip, since mine turned out sucky) and wants to see my clunky inelegant method, let me know and I'll post.
