"He (IMS CEO Mark Miles) sent an email to every company employee asking for recommendations"
Curt Cavin for the Indianapolis Star
Mr. Miles,
Admittedly, I am not an employee of Hulman & Co. I am simply a lifelong fan of the Indianapolis 500 and just happen to be sitting on an "idea list" for the Speedway that has been building in my Evernote account over the past 2 years. I attended my 31st straight race this year and am still on pace to fulfill one lifetime goal of being interviewed by the local news for dragging my old self up the stands for 75+ straight Indy 500's. My 11-year old son also attended his first race this year. The tradition continues!
Nothing fancy here; simply a list entitled "Indy 500 Ideas". Some totally random, some off the wall, but all well intentioned. Enjoy!
- Georgia Street. Take advantage of this new infrastructure built for the Super Bowl. The IMS should host an Indy 500 village downtown with concerts, etc. Fans can enjoy daytime activities at the Speedway and head downtown to continue the party at night.
- Zip Lines. Ok, so you made this happen in 2013…kind of. Zip line riders, especially at the Speedway, want a thrill. That little structure in Turn 4 this year isn't going to cut it. Let someone come in and construct a zip line that carries fans over the yard of bricks behind the Pagoda. Or let fans zip line over the concert crowd on Carb Day.
- The IMS needs a permanent playground. My wife and I enjoy bringing the little ones on practice days in May, but track activity and current "family" activities organized at the track don't keep their attention all day. There is plenty of room to play with inside the track. Why not build a playground? Better yet, make it a sprayground that would also get used by adults on the hot days. It doesn't matter if some families might come and ignore track activity for the day. Simply indoctrinating their kids to the IMS pilgrimage each May is a step in the right direction. Once kids are old enough to appreciate the cars, they'll already be accustomed to spending their May weekends at the track.
- Sticking to the family appeal, why not give the IMS Museum a makeover? Admittedly I haven't visited in several years, but there really isn't much kid appeal in the current museum. The IMS maintains a presence at the Children's Museum. Why not let them collaborate on new kid-friendly, interactive exhibits at the IMS.
- Pictures with the Borg Warner trophy. Jim Irsay did this one right with the Super Bowl trophy. Give fans an opportunity to get up and personal with the real thing. Maybe also a museum idea, to build an interactive station that lets you "place your face" on the trophy. See what you look like "Borg-Warner
- Speaking of Jim Irsay, put him in charge of an annual contest or activity. Only if he wears his Master of Ceremonies top hat though.
- Food trucks. Indianapolis' food trucks hold monthly "Cluster Truck" events downtown. Organize a Cluster Truck during an open day at the IMS next May. Foodies and race fans unite!
- One word: Turbo! I'm sure the blame falls on Hollywood's side, but shame on them for not timing the release of the movie on Memorial Day this year. There is still an opportunity to take advantage of the movie at IMS. Take the playground idea and let DreamWorks come in and build a Disney-esque interactive playground featuring the movie. Or do the same with a new kid's exhibit in the museum. This might also create a true year round attraction for families.
- Take a note from the Super Bowl and Final Four fan "experiences". The IMS could do a better job organizing true experience activities. Provide hands-on activities like getting to change tires on a real Indy Car. Build a "tricycle track" for little ones that includes the bricks and all. Create something so over the top and awesome, you get to charge extra for fans wanting to "experience" it.
- Built a playground for kids? Now build one for the adults. A "vintage" playground with large swings and a merry-go-round would certainly be appreciated by adults too.
- IMS = Innovation. "The Indianapolis 500 is a laboratory for innovation", Jack Arute. Take advantage of the track's place in automotive innovation. Organize an annual automotive/motorsports innovation awards. Hold the ceremony at the track during May. Give others in the racing and automotive world a reason to make the trek to Indy even if they are not directly tied to the Indy 500.
- Motorsports incubator. Develop a startup incubator for the motorsports industry that operates on the IMS' grounds or down the road on Main Street. Work with the town of Speedway to further develop a community that already leads the way in this field. This year's Innovation Showcase is being held at the Dallara Factory in July. What if tech startups, motorsports safety, clean tech, automotive engineers, etc all shared an incubator space to work on developments that benefit the IMS and industry as a whole.
- Work with the city's tech and startup communities to help make the incubator happen. Connect the new tech in Indy to the business of auto sports. Verge Indy and Tech Point could be great resources here.
- Concerts. I love the change the IMS made in recent years to move Carb Day to Friday during the month of May. This has really helped boost attendance; not only for track activities that day, but also for the headliner concerts that have been arranged (i.e. Kid Rock, Poison). Why not take advantage of this concert venue the rest of the year? In the summer of 2000, I had the privilege of working security down at the Kentucky Speedway for Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour. The crowd was 60,000 strong and they put on a great event. Why let Lucas Oil Stadium get all the mega-crowd fun when it comes to stand alone concerts? Bring Kenny Chesney and company to the Speedway one summer. Let U2 rock the Brickyard. Organize a large outdoor music festival for the summer. SnakePit Fest anyone? The track is certainly used to large, raucous crowds. 50,000+ for a summer concert would be easy to manage.
- Triathlon. Drivers such as Tony Kanaan are active triathletes in the offseason. Organize a summer triathlon at some point in the offseason (if possible due to seasonal weather). Ideally active drivers are involved. If not, hold one in the summer anyway. Contain the whole event on the grounds of the Speedway if possible.
- Photo Booths. I don't remember seeing these, but work with the Social Media Garage to set up photo stations and photo booths around the track and outside along 16th and Georgetown. Don't just provide fans stations to take pictures of themselves that can be shared on social sites, but also provide goofy props, etc in the booths. Every one of all ages loves those little plastic racing helmets!
- An interactive art wall. At Big Car's Service Center on the West side, they've built a chalk wall that lets people list what they want to do "Before I Die…" Something similar at the track could prompt fans to list their favorite track tradition, etc. Yes, this could invite graffiti and vulgarity on certain days, but place it front and center near the pagoda which might cut down on shenanigans. Or simply don't put it up on Carb Day, using the extra time to prepare it for exhibit on race day.
- Repurposed flags, banners from the Speedway. Work with local organization People for Urban Progress (PUP) to help them repurpose the used signs and banners from each race. PUP is already working with the old RCA Dome roof and Super Bowl banners. A race collection could also be sold in the IMS gift shops.
- Marketing Summit for IndyCar. Indianapolis is a national hub for marketing technology (i.e. ExactTarget). Tap into this resource and organize an IndyCar industry marketing summit for race teams and others involved in the industry. The event could be held at the IMS and include conference session and exhibits. Increasing the marketing skills and power of IndyCar teams means increasing the entire league's efforts.
- Arts Community. Tap into Indy's arts community and hold art contests where entries are inspired by the Speedway and/or the Indianapolis 500.
- The Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace is also growing in popularity. Organize an annual "collector's road show" at the track. This could be a big show on the IMS ground for Indy 500 memorabilia collectors, etc.
- X-Games. Final, random thought. It could be pretty cool if ESPN's Summer X-Games were held on the grounds of the Speedway.
Whatever changes you decide to make this offseason, I am confident the IMS will continue to build and improve year after year. I look forward to Indianapolis 500 #32 in 2014. You'll find me in my seats up in J Stand.

I've tried this product twice & I have to say it does nothing for me. At this price point it's defo not worth the money. First of all i noticed both times that the mascara dries out really fast & secondly this mascara isn't even that great - it starts to clump after a couple of coats. Save your money - because this mascara is not worth it.
Gave me raccoon eyes by the end of the day and dried up in around 4 weeks - and I don't even wear makeup every day and when I do it's light. Normally a tube of mascara will last me months. I wish I hadn't of thrown the box away so I could return it to Macy's. What a waste of money.

I used to be a die hard DiorShow fan, but had to switch to MAC PlushLash because I was on a student budget. I recently switched back to DiorShow and though I love it, my bottle dried out quickly! I normally get a new mascara every four months just as they are drying out, but this bottle dried out in two months. I was so disappointed, because though I love the mascara, replacing it every 2 months is not worth it for the price.
All the hype and recs for this mascara made me want to try it. It didn't work for me. This mascara clumps a lot, even after wiping the wand the look was clumpy. I tried to fix the clumping by using my lash comb which made my lashes look almost spidery. After applying two coats (worse after three) I lost the curl in my lash and ended up with stick straight lashes. After letting the mascara dry, I curled my lashes again and lost some product making my lashes even more spidery. This mascara also smudged and I ended up with raccoon eyes. I really wanted to love this mascara because I'm tired of searching for the right mascara for me. My lash goal is length and volume, and this didn't work very well for me. Won't be purchasing this again.
This is my HG mascara, of all time. It gives incredible added length, dries quickly, amazing blackness/intense color, this holds a curl very well, DOES NOT FLAKE (which is the most amazing part about this). The only thing I will say, is that this mascara tends to clump easily if you do not apply it carefully. I love how big the bottle is & the brush. I love the effect this gives, very dramatic. But, you have to be very careful with this so it defines your lashes, instead of clumping them together. This mascara is expensive (around $30), but I think this mascara is worth every penny. Overall, IF you are careful....you will get a great effect/result. & of course I will continue to buy this mascara! I've tried so many & none have came close to this one!
I love this mascara. This is the blackest mascara I've used but, it actually isn't that great for thickening and lengthening lashes. Although you won't have to worry about clumps unless you use the primer which I do not suggest.
My review is for the waterproof version. I bought the waterproof version for my wedding. I usually don't use waterproof mascara. Anyway, every time I used this mascara, I lost lashes. I remove my eye makeup with the same remover every night. I rarely lose lashes. When I used this, I lost 4-5 lashes. At first I thought it was a coincidence. However, this happened each time I wore this. Yes, it is a great and intense color, but it's not worth me losing my lashes.
I personally have very short, straight and thick lashes, and all I can say about finding this product is thank gosh. I initially went to the Dior counter to buy regular Diorshow and the saleswoman recommended this one since I told her I wanted major drama, and one of her clients who is a news anchor on TV swears by it. This mascara truly emulates the look of false lashes. It is extremely thick and dense and dark in formula, but since I reserve it for a night out, I don't mind that it takes an extra thirty seconds to fully take off. The formula itself isn't too dry or too wet, although it does stay wet for long enough to comb your lashes if you wanted to or curl them with the spoon method. It does not flake or clump either. I actually feel bad for my collection of false lashes and lash glues because ever since I found this product, they've been used about twice in the past three months. I honestly don't need them anymore. I use Clinique High Impact Mascara on an everyday basis, and I use this one when I'm either going out at night or have a big day ahead. I recognize that it is pricey, but the formula lasts for EVER so I see it as a smart investment every three months. I recommend it to EVERYBODY, especially the people that stop me in passing to compliment my "false lashes." I strongly urge you try it. As a side note, I use another small-brushed Clinique mascara I don't particularly like on my bottom lashes because I don't like for them to be too prominent, and if I used Diorshow Blackout on them they'd look fake too. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone has the same complaint. And if you ever DO wear false lashes with this, it makes your real ones and fake ones blend seamlessly! GO BUY IT! :) I honestly feel like I have been waiting for years to find a product this amazing.

This is hands down the best mascara I've tried that works amazing on its own. It's the blackest mascara I've ever used--even blacker than loreal carbon black voluminous IMO. It does smudge though which don't like. It gives great volume which is what I need and ok length. The price kills me though I seriously don't want to spend that kind of money on a mascara every 3 months. This does clump so it's necessary to use a lash comb. My mom who has the tiniest lases I've ever seen actually has lashes that you can see when she wears this!!! I really recommend this for people with tiny lashes. Although I like it I won't buy again. I've found my hgs and they're ds mascaras which is great. (loreal voluminous carbon black And maybelline the falsies in case you're wondering)

I love this mascara! It gives so much volume in just one coat, and with two my lashes look beautiful! I honestly would buy any other mascara now apart from this one. I have had it for a little over two months now and it staying strong and still looks amazing, but the formula has definately gone past its best, however i still use this mascara daily and adore it! It doest go flaky or loose volume and doesn't smudge easily, i even went in the shower, and it stayed on perfectly, i was amazed! Overall a fabulous mascara :)

mainsheet adjustment
You bring up a pet peave of mine on a lot of newer boats. Between wheel steering planting you at the aft end of the cockpit and cabin top mounted travelers I find myself running the length of the cockpit in order to play the mainsheet. It drives me crazy and there are so many more blocks required on a mid-boom set up that you are really working a lot harder to overcome friction as well.
Anyway it is posible to run the mainsheet back to the cockpit by running the sheet outboard to the base of the shrouds and then aft along the deck. This set up is standard on the Beneteau 40.7''s except that the traveler is set up right in front of the wheel. In the racing package the 40.7 has a 2:1 mainsheet and so a winch is required. (I crew on a 40.7 doing mainsail trim.) I don''t know enough about your setup to know if you will need to add a winch back at the cockpit. You should be able to set up the mainsheet as double ended with one end at the wheel and the other adjustable at the cabin top.

State officials gathered in Lima Monday afternoon to celebrate the signing of a resolution directed at their colleagues in Washington. The balanced budget amendment resolution demands Congress pass such a requirement or allow the state to call a Constitutional convention. Gov. John Kasich has pushed for the resolution, and says it's a bipartisan issue.
Nearly 9,000 civilian workers went back to work Monday at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. That's after the Department of Defense reinterpreted a new law in order to end furlough days.
Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10th) has voted with the majority of other House Republicans in favor of a 2014 budget that would defund the Affordable Care Act. Republican congressmen pushed for the bill with the knowledge the Senate and the President would reject it, and in the final days of the fiscal year, the controversy devolved into a showdown, and finally to a partial shutdown of the federal government for the first time in 17 years. As of Thursday, Oct. 3, that shutdown was still underway with no end in sight.
WYSO spoke to Rep. Turner Thursday morning.
Gov. John Kasich will unveil his second budget today, and it's expected to include changes in the state income tax and an increase in the severance tax on oil and natural gas drillers. Budget director Tim Keen wouldn't give any hints in a recent interview, other than to say that the governor is focused on economic competitiveness and job growth.

Voters in Montgomery County chose incumbents for two open seats on the Dayton City Commission. Dean Lovelace and Matt Joseph each earned more than 36% of the vote. First-time candidate Mark Manovich took 15% and William Pace came in fourth with 11%.
Matt Joseph has been in office for eight years, but he acknowledges that being an incumbent doesn't mean an automatic win.

Sorry, it was a bit rough
SD thank you and you have a cause for concern with good reason, it is not to be taken lightly. i have ERIB and survival suit, i want an adventure and thus far have used this forum for advice over the past two or so years when i started to think about getting back to the water, to this point.
unfortunately i have the propane bulkhead heater, but will be taking an uncomfortable amount of propane. previous owner decided that, could replace everything.
yeah the swells were interesting, south of Lawson Reef east of Hein Bank, ended up heading for the hills, but what was great was i didn't hear any significant creaks and bulkheads stayed put. since then it has been surveyed, i have reinforced chain plates, support beam just in front of mast, and bulkheads, while on the outside sanded and reinforced weak spots around deck midship.

I've seen a lot of threads about these mats, but none about their durability or longevity. I bought my OEM mats the same day I picked up the truck. There was a hole in the driver's side within the first year. Now, a little over two years, and there are two holes.
Today, while vacuuming both my truck and my wife's Jetta, I realized we bought her VW OEM mats at the time of purchase also. TEN years ago, and neither one of them have any holes!
So, I'd like to here how the Weathertechs hold up or other brands. Do any of them last as long as the Jetta's?

If the mysterious plague sweeping the nation wasn't bad enough, Dean is still going ahead with his doomed wedding tomorrow morning. That leaves him with a choice. Pick up the button holes and chocolate fountain as instructed by bridezilla Elaine, or go with five mates (and a stripper) to play 'Zomball' at a top secret military compound where you get to shoot zombies with huge stun guns. Disobeying the golden rule of Zomball ('never never humiliate a zombie') the stags face overwhelming odds from the massed undead and each stag is hunted down. The truth about Zomball is finally revealed and suddenly the mother-in-law is the least of Dean's problems....

The Monthly GNU Column
This column looks into projects and current affairs in the world of free software from the perspective of the GNU Project and the FSF. In this issue, I'll focus on Comspari and the EU decision on software patents.
In the past, the German government has often caused a (positive) stir due to its activities with free software. The Federal Ministry of the Economy (BMWi) sponsored Gnupg [1], for example. Add to this a number of accompanying activities, such as a report by the Bavarian Accounts Office, the KBST letter, and the highly acclaimed migration guide by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). Kolab Besides dedicated sponsorship, the Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (BSI) part of BMI launched the Kroupware project in 2002. The public tender by the BSI was aimed to produce a groupware solution that would support strong cryptography and integrate seamlessly into a heterogeneous environment.

I like the bag very much. I cannot say much more than I am pleased with the purchase.
First of all, the colors shown on the product description do not match the actual color. I ordered a Khaki/Brown bag and got a Khaki/Black bag. I can live with that... BUT then I realized that the bag is too small to fit my laptop (which is only 13" wide). The measurements are very misleading. It states that the bag measures 15" wide, but what it does not state is that the interior of the bag is only 11". The extra 4" is a flap that is separated from the interior pocket and has a mesh pocket on one side and nothing on the other. I will definitely be returning this bag. I think the bag itself seems to be good quality, but the description is far from accurate. This is not at all what I thought it was going to be.
My husband was looking for somthing smaller than a backpack but which could hold a nook etc. that could be used when he rode his bike to work or didn't want to carry his daypack. He was pleased with the amount of inside space and the nook fit perfectly in the front pocket and he could safely put his other personal items inside. It also doesn't look like a purse or totebag which was a big selling feature. Would recommend it to anyone who needed a sling-type bag for someone riding a bike, pushing a stroller, etc.

South Beach Diet - Fabulous Friday Beach Chat!View Full Version : Fabulous Friday Beach Chat! Schatzi 07-28-2006, 08:09 AM Morning Beachers! Up and Ad'em! :jig: Got to go make the Cawfee, and will be back in a bit :cofdate: cottagebythesea 07-28-2006, 08:37 AM Good Morning to you all! Schatzi, you beat me to it again today! :) Thanks for merging my thread yesterday. Yesterday wasn't too bad watching all the kids, but it was a very long day, Audrey and Maggie didn't get picked up until 7:30. Cindy was in a tournament that ended up being a double-header. I was sure ready for some "me" time after that! Carley woke up just before 6am this morning, I think she heard Jake leaving for work, but she went back to sleep, thank goodness! I like to be able to have at least one cup of coffee in peace. The plan is to pick up the girls and bring them back here, and if the T-storms hold off we can play all day in the pool. I hope it'll be a short day, usually Cindy lets me go early on Fridays, so I hope she doesn't have too many appointments scheduled today! Did I mention, I'm on vacation next week!!!!!!!!! Schatzi 07-28-2006, 09:18 AM Cottage! :wave: my fellow Morning Lark ! oh how you must be looking forward to yer Vacay :dance: I wonder if the weather we had yesterday is headed for Pennsy. We had Torrrrrential downpours, boomers and lightning all afternoon yesterday! My poor Darby was a basket case. :( .... I'm sooooooo enjoying my cuppa cawfee :coffee: this morn - I'm sitting at the kitchen table watching all these beautiful ruby throated hummingbirds feed at the feeder I have hung right outside the kitchen window... and the bluejays, doves and robins are pecking at the feed I have strewn around the shrubs. Louren: and Grasshopper Louren, Re: your goal of a 1.6 loss a week seems doable if you are near perfect with eating and exercising... You might want to use Fitday.com to track your calories, nutrients and exercise and weight loss.. You will hit plateaus, but if you are "good" you will see some drops, increases, and holds , but it should average out.. Grasshopper/Louren... There are other free "trackers" out there other than Fitday as well, like nutridairy... Find one that works for you , and if you use it it's a real eyeopener to what you are eating and how much.. I like it to track my exercise as well. Jessie:cp: on the New House!!!! How exxxxciting!!!!! Tell us all about it !!!!! how many rooms, style, etc.... Wishing you years of happiness and health in your new place! Also, you might be interested to know that 3FC is starting a new subforum for "Whole Foods" not the store ;) but eating organics and unprocessed foods.. Ok..time to finish my morning crossword and have my date with Gilad..that hunky sadist! I did only half of his buns and thighs workout :wl: yesterday... I was tooo tired after walking 4 miles on my dreadmill :tread: while watching Project Runway!!! Louren 07-28-2006, 09:28 AM Good Morning. I will check out fitday. Still holding at 7.6 lbs lost, but no backslide, and my fancy scale seems to think I lost body fat. Whatever. DH (who means well) made me an egg this morning, cooked in the skillet after the canadian bacon, using fleishmans olive oil spread. I had one bite in my mouth and gagged so bad at the taste that I had to spit it out and throw the whole thing away. AND he drank my V8 last night, and left me with at most 1 oz this morning. He said "you wanted me to drink it too!" and I said "but not all of it before breakfast when I can't get more before swimming!" I went to the Y again today, and did 30 minutes on the eliptical. Also spent 3 hours at a friends neighborhood "waterpark" and had a blast running after the kids, but since it was overcast, completely forgot to reapply sunscreen to the kiddos. So ds is a lobster for his 18 month checkup today. Nice. little grasshopper 07-28-2006, 09:35 AM Good morning everyone!!! Schatzi - I looked at fit day and used it one day. Since then I have been running busy and it takes a while to get initial foods in there. I can see how once you get your basic meals into the system it's faster though! Thanks for the tip! Cottagebythesea- that name paints such a pretty picture...sounds like you still have your hands full! I can understand the need for a moment of quiet in the a.m. Today is my day off and I'm going to play. First I'm taking doggie to the vet to check his anxiety. He's an Aussie and even when I run him 8 miles a day (mountain biking) he still seems to have some sever anxiety issues of over some things. So dog whisperer be darned - there's something wrong here. He's a sweet and wonderfully behaved dog until thunderstorms hit or windows are moved in a car....then something switches in him. Time to see if we can help him. THEN I'm going to play!! I haven't had a day for myself in a LOOONNNGGGG time. It's time for one. I'm going to the gym. Cardio and weights today - and then we are probably going to bike tonight....and I'm doing a bit of shopping for the wedding. I'm looking forward to no responsibility today. It's back to work tomorrow :) But that's tomorrow!! No today!! I'll check in later and catch up here too!! Kiko 07-28-2006, 09:52 AM Good morning! Cottage You must be SO ready for your break next week. You deserve it!! I am often amazed how tired I can be by the end of the day with my girls- even if we aren't out and about running around! Schatzi Enjoy your exercise this morning! Louren My 4 1/2 year old got a bit too much sun on Wednesday. I am usually SO careful about it, but dind't reapply either. Poor kid! Grasshopper Interesting about your dog..... I guess many of us, animals included, suffer these days. Me- DD has a playdate today, so I will just have the baby for several hours. I have to go to school for a short bit to meet up with some of the new teachers. Since my role will be different this year, I won't have my own class or grade level. I am going to help quite a bit with the 5th grade team since that is where I have been for the last 9 years. They have 3 new teachers to get up and going. So I will do that in addition to pulling my groups of kiddos. SO excited about a change- it will be neat to work with so many teachers and not just the ones on my grade level. Eating has been so-so. I do really well for a day and then cheat the next. I am PMSing this week, which doesn't seem to be helping anything! Let's all really dig our heels in this weekend for the July weigh in on Monday. I know I could use some motivation!!!!!!!! :hug: Scully1280 07-28-2006, 10:08 AM Mornin' All! TGIF, and one day closer to going to my Chicago vacation (my sweet home town!) Yesterday was a fun day, my DH had an all hands meeting at our house which really was the equivalent of a BBQ. Again, I made all kinds of food -- including Ghiradelli brownies and there were tons of cookies and ice cream. I didn't touch a thing. I ate a nice, yummy lunch which was a beautiful, multi-colored, multi-veggie salad with a sirloin grilled burger and 1/2 of a skinless chicken breast. I made a fab dressing out of EVOO and Balsamic, using my fresh garden herbs. Later on a had some sugarfree jello which was good. The smell of the chocolate was so good. I said to my DH, too bad I'm allergic to chocolate LOL. So, one more party down, and I succeeded in staying firm with my plan. While the party was on, the mail came, so in the mail was my present to myself, A pair of padded bike pants and a bike shirt! This left me no room to squirm out of getting out for a ride. So, last night one DS and I went out to ride the trail for about 45 minutes. We got stuck in a downpour, but it was so steamy out, that it felt great! I'll tell you, padded pants are the way to go. I have a nice bike with a great saddle and a an extra padded seat, but when I recently went for ride, my pelvic bones felt bruised after riding a mere 12 miles. Now, it may be just the thing. You'd think I ALREADY have enough padding! ;) So, I came home and ate dinner at 9 pm, which may have been a mistake. My scale was up a pound AGAIN. At least I know for sure, it wasn't that I cheated. I ate well, (maybe in abundance), and late, but I had no frackin sugar. Today is going to be another sweltering 93ish stormy heat. I planned on taking my 3 boys to the Baltimore Aquarium today, but I have stuff I need to do before my 15 y/o goes to camp. Still need to paint... and of course, get out on my bike! I tivoed Gilad, since he comes so highly recommended!! The weekend is almost here ladies! It's gonna be a great day! I hope you are all blessed and feeling great! TTFN Ruthxxx 07-28-2006, 10:29 AM Quick check-in, Chickies. I miss you all! :grouphug: The Fair is underway and sure is taking up a lot of my time. Yesterday I spent six hours with the baking and canned goods judge as she sampled and evaluated tons of entries. She didn't even seem to get full - skinny little thing! I felt absolutely no desire to taste anything except for one dilled yellow bean that she insisted was fabulous! We had a major emergency yesterday when Betty, one of the older Directors, had a heart attack! Our on-site med folks were right on the job and took good care of her until the ambulance arrived to take her to the hospital. She was very annoyed that she had to go to the hospital because she wanted to see her grandkids in the Mini-King and Queen contest! What a lady! She is going to be fine according to her daughters and will probably be back at the Fair as soon as she can get out of the hospital! Anyhow, I'm certainly managing to keep busy and my Girls are feeling neglected! They were on their own for seven hours on Wednesday while I did Homecraft Registrations and the same yesterday! I was so darned pleased to see no puddle when I came home. Food? Don't want to talk about it. Let's just say it has not been stellar. I'm up two pounds but am insisting it's water retention. I'm trying to drink more but can't take my diuretic because it's a darn long walk back to the Office if I'm doing walkabout and I refuse to use a portapotty - never have and never will! Anyhow, I just thought I'd check in. I have to get over to the Fair now to do the Baby Show Registration. That's one of my favourite events along with the pet show. I must have a salad today - if I can remember how to make one! :lol: JessieW 07-28-2006, 10:30 AM Schatzi, I am so proud of all your exercise! You're awesome!!! Our new home is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath townhouse in a brand new condo neighborhood. So everything is brand spanking new. I am SO ready to get over there to my NEW stove and NEW fridge and best of all, big old island in the kitchen! I will actually have room to cook! We unpacked a lot of kitchen stuff last night. I plan on living in the kitchen!!! Our family room has pretty wood floors and a big window and that's about it right now. Just your basic little house, but I am proud of it and so excited to be a homeowner! Well, I have done like no work this morning and been here for an hour and a half. I need to hit the coffeepot in a major way and get working! Jess Barb0522 07-28-2006, 12:11 PM I am not going to even mention exercise and jynx myself. I was certain there would be time in the afternoon to use the treadmill yesterday. NO, we had to have two outages at work and I ended up working late and having to rush to get dinner ready. At least my eating was healthy and I am back down a little today. If I can keep losing until Tuesday, I might just end up where I started the month which is better than a gain. :) Tonight is Taco Bake which is one of my favorite meals. And tomorrow I'm making Jambalaya but I'm also taking Brian to a birthday party that lasts from 4-8. I'm thinking I should fix the jambalaya earlier in the day so that it will be waiting for me when I get home. That way it might be easier to resist the food that I'm sure will be at the party. If I knew the parents, I would just leave Brian there but I don't so I'm staying. Schatzi 07-28-2006, 12:32 PM Just a quick Peck back in....! Barb: Geez, you really work hard fer yer Money! DH has been doing VO (what you call WAH.. ) and he is up and down all night doing cut overs.. I feel fer ya! Jessie: Sounds like a beautiful house to make into a beautiful home! I just finished my session with Gilad.. he is tough! I now have flippers for arms and my legs feel like puddles of jello... but even in this short 2 weeks of getting back to exercise being part of my everyday..I feel a difference already. Tomorrow I think I'll standup Gilad and opt just the :tread: Have a great day everybuddy! I got to run some errands this afternoon..... little grasshopper 07-28-2006, 01:33 PM Just checking in to catch up on my reading... Scully - be careful with the paded shorts and padded seat. When you start going high mileages on a bike it's easy to get "rub" in your personal parts. You might want to hit your local bike shop, or outdoor shop and look at a chamis cream (my favorite is butt butter - that's REALLY the name of it!). It helps with the chaffing. Also, sometimes if you get too much cushion (usually from the extra padded seat - not the shorts) the cushion will give and move and is more likely to give you saddle sores. I was shocked when I started road cycling that my best saddle was a little bity plastic thing with no padding at all! It was most comfortable. Oh - and the sore bones thing will improve with time! I use to ride between 12-25 miles a day. So in the same mileage range as you - hopefully you won't have any problems at all. I just want you to have information in case you do :) !! Ruth - my goodness! I'm glad your friend is going to be okay. You're having an active and stressful week, huh? Fair food always does me in!!! It's usually water weight with me too ;) hahah!! schatzi - still impressed with the galid thing! I'll have to check it out again soon.... jessie - your new place sounds wonderful!! How exciting for you!!! okay, I guess I'd better get to the gym. Took the pup in today. After talking an hour with the vet he has decided that there is definately something going on with Mac. He is worried that he does have anxiety but that it's been going on for a while and that now his fears and anxieties are kind of growing on themselves. As he asked questions about things that have happened in his life I suddenly started to feel like he's had a traumatic little life! Things like being stuck in a car in a HORRIBLE thunder storm, when he was a puppy. The manager of the store I'd gone in actually went out and got him - but he was running and yanked him from the car and shoved him in his jacket to get him inside. Mac was a little wreck. But he seemed to recover okay. Except that now he's a basket case in storms. Screams and paces and tries to sit as close to my head as he can get. It makes me cry to think about it. They're doing blood work today to make sure he is okay to go on meds for a bit and then we'll do some behavior modification with him. Poor guy. I feel bad that we were trying all this time to obedience train this out of him.... Well better hit the gym while the day is yet young. Talk with you all soon Scully1280 07-28-2006, 01:51 PM Little Grasshopper :hug: Do you put it on you or the chamois? :dizzy: Thanks for the info! I am going to look in to it! I appreciate knowing about the soreness going away. The funny thing is, when you're a kid, you never even think about such things - you just ride your bike. I was hoping that the soreness would go away eventually. I didn't get sore at all from the ride yesterday. Well, then again, I'd have to go for a ride to be sure. I'll have to do that. JessieW 07-28-2006, 02:53 PM LOL about the butt butter. They have something for babies called Butt Paste that comes in this huge yellow tube. I always laugh when I see it. Jessie Scully1280 07-28-2006, 04:05 PM :coach: Well, I just got back from riding my :bike2: bike on the trail for 1 hour! Whew!!! :cheer: Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Something tells me that I will be needing the Butt Butter! LOL Schatzi 07-28-2006, 04:16 PM Ruth, sorry I missed the part about yer friend... I'm glad she will be okay :hug: Have fun at the Fair..and don't you worry bout a thing here .. We'll be fine !! Grasshopper: I feel fer yer doggie... I have one just like Mac.. Darby was just a little skittish with thunder.. We would pick her up and talk to her..and I played this "Nature sound" CD one of which is "rain and thunder" and she got use to it.. until, hmm bout a month or 2 ago, we took a lightning strike that hit about 50-100 feet from the house... and well, now she is soo freaked by it again... I hope yer Mac will be okay :hug: My other one, Casey is just a ballsy little broad... I was gonna name her Belle, but after a week with her she is more like a big bad bertha! :lol3: Butt Butter!! Butt Paste!!!! :rofl: Too funny! You bikers ROCK!!! :cheer: Sorry to say I always hated bike riding... :( ...even as a kid... hurt my butt and my knees even as a little kid! But it is one of the best forms of exercise! soooo RIDE ON GALS!!!! little grasshopper 07-28-2006, 05:34 PM hah - I never considered that question! I always put it on the pad. Oh and it's absolutely a MUST that you NEVER EVER EVER wear them twice before washing. I know that's a bit much anyway, but don't ever be tempted. We have a guy here that got a saddle sore and didn't take care of it. It got bad and he still didn't (we're talking SERIOUSLY neglecting his warning signs here - not normal "should I see someone about this - it was REALLY bad) Now he's in a wheel chair. It got infected and he still did nothing and it progressed worse until he got bacterial menengitis or something like that. Anyway he now sells bikes and educates people about the importance of taking care of "yourself" and that's the first step. Keep everything in that area clean as possible. Always, change your shorts as soon as you can after you workout. I usually take a pair of regular shorts with me and change at the car when I get back. (it's a long ride home). I've never had any issues with saddle sores or the like but I did get plain old tender for a bit until I got use to it. Still riding is worth every bit of it! :) :) Just take care of your "stuff" :) Scully1280 07-28-2006, 05:57 PM Oh crap. I wore them twice in a row, and THEN sat in them til I got my a$$ in the shower. Well, heaven knows that I will never do THAT again. Going out to get the "butter"... uh BTW, when I said saddle sore, I meant as in tender, not "boo-boo's". But, I know what you mean though. (no pun intended) ;) Do you have a favorite wash (for bike shorts) that you use? Louren 07-28-2006, 08:03 PM You absolutely have to be proud of me. I was driving home from buying a new dishwasher (the trick for this to happen fast after the old one giving up on life is to let dh do all the handwashing for 2 days) and some crazy lady drove into the side of my car. I am fine (I think - a little tension in my neck, but probably just stress and nerves), my poor car will need fixing on my side panel. But I did not walk straight to Starbucks to buy a frappuccino and espresso brownie (my old "everything is going wrong" standby)!!! Yay me for staying strong. At least it is the weekend now! Kiko 07-28-2006, 08:13 PM Tragic news today.... I found out that one of the moms at my daughter's preschool was killed in a car accident last night. Her twins went to DD's preschool last year. There are also 2 teenagers in the family. The mom is more of an aquaintence (sp?), but it is so heartbreaking to think of the family and the kids. Extra hugs for my girls tonight. :hug: cottagebythesea 07-28-2006, 08:56 PM Kiko, that is such tragic news, so upsetting. I can only pray that her family can get through this awful time and I hope they have plenty of friends and family to give them the support they surely need right now. little grasshopper 07-29-2006, 08:30 AM Kiko - wow, I'm very sorry for you all. That's really is horrible news. It's so sad for children to lose a parent. scully - you're fine :) Just don't make it a habbit. That is more of a "yeast" type issue. I understood the soreness thing. I only mentioned the actual saddle sores because I almost had an issue when I was using a seat too cushy for me and padded shorts together. I didn't know what was wrong until I finally told DF about it and he explained it all :) BTW, Carnari has some Gel shorts that are AMAZING!!! I've NEVER been sore after using them. They're pricing but REI (if you have one) sometimes has them for as much as 1/2 off. I LOVE MINE!!! Ride on!!!! Louren - if you are sore today, please go get a massage. I work with people that have been in wrecks all the time and it really helps move the sitffness and soreness on out of your body. I'm sorry you had a wreck - even a small one is HARD on the nerves!! Feel better soon - that goes for your car too :) Well Im probably posting on the wrong page now so I'll stop and go find the right one! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

The journey of a thousand orgasms begins with a single quiver, or so they say.
A 42-year-old Turkish woman with Parkinson's disease has quit taking the drug rasagiline because it induced multiple "unwelcome" spontaneous orgasms daily—as many as five per day.
1. The Penis Microphone
GF uses my erect penis as a microphone and sings songs.
I've never faked an orgasm on film. Sometimes I cum 15 times in a matter of 15 minutes.
You know how there's a difference between just an orgasm and a good orgasm.
And other good, clean fun (yes, that means anal douches.)
The "no means no" talk definitely doesn't always apply in the confines of a lot of relationships.
We shouldn't have to be ashamed of these things and we really need to start getting over the idea that some sex questions are going to be embarrassing to ask especially when they're in relation to someone you're actually having sex with.
"But guys are ALWAYS raring to go, right? They NEVER have to fake it." But we do, ladies.
Most of us know more about math than we know about orgasms. This is likely due to the fact our climaxes are so uniquely personal.

Comments about 1-1/4 in. x 35 ft. Measuring Tape:
I had just been looking at this tape measure a few days before. I would not buy it a full price, but the on-line deal could not be passed up. As I anticipated, the tape measure is heavy and, compared with my other tape, not so easy to use. It will span 35' rather than 25' for my current tape. The clip at the end will hook an edge just about any which way. The stand-out is unbeatable. I like this purchase and will find many uses for it, but it isn't my first choice for measuring.

Join Us For A Youth Webchat On The DREAM Act
Ed. Note: This live event has concluded.
The White House Office of Public Engagement invites you to an interactive webchat on the DREAM Act with Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Munoz on Monday, November 29th, 2010 at 3 p.m. EST on WhiteHouse.gov/live.
The DREAM Act is designed to stop punishing innocent young people for the actions of their parents, by giving them the chance to either obtain legal status by pursuing a higher education, or by serving in the U.S. armed forces for the country they've grown up in and love as their own. The DREAM Act has long enjoyed the support of both Democrats and Republicans, and has passed twice out of the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support. The President has been a strong supporter of the DREAM Act, and was a co-sponsor when he was in the Senate.
Join us in learning more about how the Administration is doing whatever it takes to support Congressional leadership's efforts to pass the bill and participate in the conversation and Q&A.
Here's how you can participate:

The Art & Practice of Nothing and No One Against You with Anne Bryer starts Oct 29, Wednesdays
Learn tools that will uncover the myths and messages that are sabotaging your life journey, relationships and intentions. The workbook will be available for purchase in the bookstore. Please sign up in Hospitality.
Wednesdays, starting Oct 29, Nov 5, Nov 12, Nov 19, Dec 3 (skip Nov 26), 6:45-8:45p , Transformation Room.
Contact Anne Bryer at (207) 439-2324 with questions. There is a suggested love offering of $10 per class.
As we move beyond our 3 year Transformation Experience program, we are opening ourselves to make changes, personal shifts in our consciousness. To support us, Rev Dr Gary Simmons and master teacher Rima Bonario have developed this 5 week class. This program is the centerpiece of the Transformation Experience. It is foundational to all other aspects of the Pilot Program because it brings our entire community into congruence with our Unity principles and spiritual practice. When we feel diminished or uncomfortable by what we are having as our life experience, we are no longer relating from our wholeness and worth. The Art & Practice program is a heart-centered, experiential process that teaches how to identify the beliefs we have created about ourselves; how perception and meaning interact with our emotions to create patterns of being and relating that can become ingrained. Then, using the latest brain research and quantum science, it takes us through a transformative 21 day practice by providing an easy to follow template for activating our authentic wholeness and worth.
How can this help me?
- Learn tools that will uncover the myths and messages that are sabotaging your life journey, relationships and intentions.
- Live in even more integrity with Unity principles by expanding your consciousness, opening to infinite possibilities for relationship to yourself, family, friends, Unity and the world.
- Contribute to fulfilling our mission to be a thriving spiritual community.

Amy Winehouse's Posthumous Material Beginning To Surface (LISTEN)
Amy Winehouse's posthumous third album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, isn't out until December 6, but the two tracks released today prove that listeners may have a lot to look forward to.
The first track, "Our Day Will Come" is a reggae cover of the classic '60s song by Ruby & The Romantics, recorded back in May 2002.
The second, "Like Smoke", is a collaboration with rapper Nas, who Amy name-dropped in Back to Black's "Me & Mr. Jones."
Amy's soulful voice opens the jazzy, retro-soul song, with Nas rapping over the second verse. Despite being recorded in May 2008, the song is highly relevant today, with lyrics mentioning "protesting at Wall Street" and the "bourgeoisie".
Listen HERE for the Nas track, and HERE for the "Our Day Will Come" song.
Do you plan on buying Amy's Lioness: Hidden Treasures in December? Sound off in the comments below!

The lira strengthened for the first time in three days, faring better than all the other emerging- and developed-country currencies except India, as the Turkish central bank continued to refrain from lending at its lowest policy rate for a second day.
The currency appreciated 0.3 percent to 1.8616 per dollar at 4:58 p.m. in Istanbul, the second-best among 31 major developing and developed market currencies. The lira has risen 1.6 percent against the dollar this year, the biggest gain after the Colombian peso among emerging-market currencies.
Turkey's central bank withheld lending at its lowest annual funding rate of 5.75 percent for a second day, offering 5 billion liras ($2.7 billion) in one-week repurchase agreements at 10.86 percent. It did not provide liquidity at the minimum rate all of last week. Governor Erdem Basci has forecast inflation will fall to 6.5 percent by the end of this year from 11.1 percent in April, the highest in 3 1/2 years. Turkey's April trade deficit beat estimates as the gap narrowed to $6.6 billion in April, contracting for a sixth month.
"The lira is one of the best performers year-to-date despite the large current-account deficit and the poor risk environment almost fully due to the central bank's high interest rate policy," Arko Sen, chief debt and currency strategist for emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa at Bank of America Corp. in London, said in e-mailed comments.
Repo Auction
The central bank lent 4 billion liras ($2.1 billion) yesterday at 10.85 percent in its daily repo auction. It varies the policy rate daily between 5.75 percent and 11.5 percent within the so-called interest rate corridor which was introduced in October to defend the currency and curtail inflation.
Falling oil prices and rising exports signaled the current- account deficit may fall this year from $77 billion last year, a record high and the second-biggest gap in nominal terms after the U.S. Oil traded near the lowest close in seven months, heading for the longest weekly losing streak in 5 1/2 years. Turkey's exports rose 7.3 percent to $11.8 billion in May from a year earlier, BloombergHT television reported, citing data announced by the Turkish Exporters Assembly in southern Antalya province today.
"We think that a 10 percent year-on-year increase in January-May 2012 when EU is in debt crisis and when EUR depreciated significantly against USD in year-on-year terms is still a success," Ozgur Altug, chief economist at BGC Partners in Istanbul, said in an e-mailed note referring to exports.
The yield on two-year debt dropped 10 basis points, or 0.1 percentage point, to 9.35 percent, the lowest since May 3.
The central bank also provided 5 billion liras in its one- month repo auction it holds once a week on Friday against bids for 11.1 billion liras.
The total foreign-exchange reserve in Turkey has fallen from $85.9 billion in October -- when Basci introduced a flexible interest rates policy -- to $78.6 billion on May 25. Part of the reduction is down to the central bank selling dollars last year to boost the lira, which fell 18 percent in 2011.
The central bank is introducing a new mechanism to reduce the need for intervention in the foreign exchange markets, Basci said. It will gradually raise the amount of lira reserves banks may deposit in dollars to 60 percent from 40 percent, enabling lenders to deposit or withdraw foreign currency as per their requirements, the governor said in a speech in Ankara May 30.

.- The Vatican's former envoy to the United Nations said yesterday that the U.S.-led coalition forces should pull out of Iraq as soon as possible but not before the planned June 30 hand-over of sovereignty to the Iraqis, reported AFP.
"The Holy See, the Pope and all those who work with the Pope have said it would be crazy to leave Iraq at this moment, before June 30," and before the United Nations forces arrive, said Renato Cardinal Martino in an interview with the Portuguese newspaper Publico.
Such a move "would be leaving Iraq in chaos," said the head of the Vatican's Congregation for Justice and Peace.
Cardinal Martino said the Iraqi people must decide their future for themselves. "That is why the earlier this happens, the better," he said.
The cardinal was in Fatima, Portugal, yesterday for the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, where he presided over the annual pilgrimage to the shrine.
When asked to comment on the photos of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, Cardinal Martino told Publico: "Torture speaks for itself."

Quarterback Kevin Kolb won't be on the field for Sunday's season finale against the Seahawks, but he will be wearing a Cardinals uniform next season. You can bank on it.
Despite a groundswell of support for backup John Skelton and a reactionary faction that wants the Cards to release Kolb after a disappointing first season, it's not going to happen for three simple reasons:
• The Cardinals invested too much in Kolb this offseason to give up so quickly. They dealt 2009 Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick to the Eagles, and they signed Kolb to a five-year contract worth as much as $63 million.
• Kolb has only played in eight games and one series of a ninth. Without an offseason to learn the system, that is not enough time to judge whether he can become the franchise quarterback the team envisioned when it acquired him this offseason.
• If they release Kolb, the Cards will have to find another quarterback, meaning they'll have to start this process all over again. Skelton has made great strides this season and will push Kolb in training camp next summer, but his time isn't now. The Cards want a better read on Kolb.
"We have a better sense than we did when we signed him," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "Seeing what he did in the Dallas game obviously is exciting. Seeing what he did in the Carolina game was exciting. You look forward to having more time with him and continuing to grow as an offense."
Kolb was limited in Wednesday's practice, but his practice status is academic at this point. He had a full evaluation on Tuesday that revealed lingering symptoms consistent with a concussion. That's enough reason to shut it down for the year.
"It showed that I'm a little slow with reaction stuff and some processing stuff from my baseline (test) that I had earlier in the year," Kolb said. "They decided to test because the symptoms had lingered a little bit - just to cover all bases."
Kolb said this experience has been entirely different from a concussion he suffered last season with the Eagles.
"The lingering symptoms are the biggest kicker," he said of an injury suffered Dec. 11 against the 49ers. "That's something I didn't deal with last time."
Kolb's doctor told him that with two to three more weeks' rest he'll be fine. Whisenhunt added that he's unaware of any studies that show suffering one concussion makes a person more susceptible to others, so there is no concern going forward.
As for the popular notion that Kolb is injury-prone, Whisenhunt just shrugged.
"That happens in this game, especially at that position," he said. "The chances of guys getting through a whole season without an injury doesn't happen much."
Kolb, who also missed four games due to turf toe and foot injuries, is hoping for better luck next season because it will be a defining year for him. He'll have the benefit of an offseason and another full preseason to prepare. Short of more injuries, there won't be any excuses for failure to master the offense.
Kolb received a $10 million signing bonus in addition to his $2 million in salary in 2011. He's due a $7 million roster bonus and $9 million salary in 2012, and $10 million in the final three years of the deal.
"I feel very comfortable in this offense now," he said. "You know you feel comfortable as a quarterback whenever you say a play or a formation and it just pops in your head immediately. That's what began to happen later on in the season."

After honing his skills as a stuntman on GoldenEye, The World Is Not Enough, and Tomorrow Never Dies (among a variety of non-Bond blockbusters), Gary Powell returned to the 007 franchise as the mastermind of all things action. As a stunt coordinator, Powell works with the Bond directors — Martin Campbell, Marc Forster, and now Sam Mendes on this month's new release, Skyfall — to devise stunts that work in the context of the the suave spy's globetrotting missions.
"When we started off with Casino Royale, Martin [Campbell] set the tone straight away," says Powell. "The opening sequence was great because it was real." Powell says believability is the prime goal when constructing stunts for a Bond movie. The character may seem superheroic, but the mission is to never let the audience forget that he's a regular guy with luck on his side. "Everything we do now, we put it right on the edge of a-person-could-actually-survive-this. If everything worked out right for him. We literally push it to the edge of human capabilities."
Powell worked closely with Skyfall director Sam Mendes and long-time Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who also trusted him with adding his own ideas into the script. Powell points to the film's complex opening sequence, a scene that involves a car chase and a big fight on top of a moving train. Born from a way to introduce us to the characters — namely, the Skyfall version of Bond, and Naomie Harris' character Eve — Powell says the digger sequence was a moment when Mendes and company stepped back and let the action-minded man do his work.
"Everything you see with the train is real," says Powell, who worked with a number of different skilled stuntmen to pull off the feat. For the beginning of the sequence, stunt driver Ben Collins was enlisted to man Bond and Eve's Land Rover — even though the actors would be seen in closeup driving the vehicle. "Basically, I was on the roof in what's called a pod system," says Collins. "It's like a metal cage with the steering and the pedals and the gears, so that basically I'm driving it from the roof with the actress underneath. Then we can really get the characters right into the heart of the action." Collins explains that hydraulic lines divert the steering to the roof, so that any motions made by Harris would be disconnected. He jokes, "It's pretty spooky for the actress."
When it comes to Bond-centric stunts later in the scene, it's all Daniel Craig. "Obviously, we have safety cables when Daniel is up there, but Daniel is up there," says Powell. "He ran up the arm and [it's him] on the train fighting." Powell praises Craig for tackling as many action beats as the production's insurance will allow him to attempt. It's a rare quality in a star, but Powell thinks it defines the actor's Bond films. "He feels like he [would be] cheating the audience. It's not an ego thing. Like, 'Look at me up there!' When the audience pays their money and goes to see the film, he wants them to know it's him up there."
Continuing to add to the reality, Skyfall shot its foot chase through The Tube, London's underground subway, on an actual platform that was no longer used by the public. "Originally, we were looking to use the real underground and having restricted access to it," says Powell. "But it became apparent that if, for any reason, something wasn't working, be it camera or lighting or anything, we wouldn't complete the sequence in the time allocated to us." Still, rigging a real life space for a Bond stunt — even when unoccupied by bystanders — presents a challenge. The space was equipped to send Bond flying down the escalator. Delicately flying. "You have to be respectful of the building. You can't start hacking holes in things. Makes it complicated."
One scene that was too complicated to shoot on location was Bond's infiltration of a Chinese skyscraper and subsequent fist fight — a sequence that sends Patrice the assassin flying out of a window. Bond stealthily grabs hold of the bottom of an elevator to follow Patrice, an effect that involved camera trickery but was no less demanding of Craig. "He does dangle," says Powell. "He's never standing, even if it's a blue screen set." To pull off the brutal brawl, Powell worked with fight coordinator Nicola Berwick, fight trainer Roger Yuan, and stunt double Damien Walters to choreograph a quarrel that would suit Mendes' vision. "We would put things together, video it, and show [Sam]. He says, 'I like that. I'm not too sure about that. Can you do this? Can you do that?' An ongoing process of building it up until we get exactly what he wants. And then when we turn up on the day, it's exactly what he wants. No making it up — that costs time and money."
While Powell avoids putting himself in harm's way these days ("I used to bounce really well when I was in my twenties. By the end of my thirties I wasn't bouncing as good."), his lengthy résumé makes him an asset to the filmmakers behind Bond movies. He knows action, but he also understands storytelling. "[Sam] had a very clear idea of how he wanted the action to be. Which is good — it wasn't just stunts," says Powell. "They have to make sense in the scene. Bond can't be doing something then out of the blue something turns up that doesn't fit in with the scene that's going on. Trying to keep it as real as possible. Making it believable."

So I have a spine surgery in Dec 04 and last week the Doc calls me and tells me I'm one of the people that recieved the stolen tissue out of New York. Now I have to go through bunch of tests. Anybody else have this going on in there mind. It's really hard to think about anything but that right now... |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 8:16
I am assuming that the tissue you received is bone. My understanding is that cadaver bone is specially treated and sterilized because bone infections are so hard to treat. I have cadaver bone grafts in my neck. I was told that because the way bone was handled, there was practially no chance of having any reaction to it as a patient might have to other organ tissue. I wouldn't worry, he has to run the tests to make 100% sure. |
- Posted by muddy_water (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 9:05
Thanks for the reply...Yes mine also was in the neck and the other problem is, I have 1 area that did not fuse properly. So now I am worried about the grafts themselfs with no background information from the person the bone or grafts were taken from. I have no way of knowing if the bone was exceptible for transplant.Much less the possibility of contracting a virus. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 10:28
No surgery is ever 100% free of problems. A lot depends on the general health of the patient and, though we hate to think about it, the technique of the surgeon. A bone graft is dead tissue that forms the frame work for new bone to grow in and around. I was warned that sometime grafts didn't take and had to be repeated. I had to wear a neck brace for six weeks, night and day. My doctor scared the crap out of me about what would happen if I didn't. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 10:37
I can certainly understand your worry about this. I think your doctor is required to check you out to make very very sure that all is well. I was also told that bone, after being sterilized for grafts, is stored for six months. The chances of this bone, not being suitable is almost zero. I am sure that the receiving agency would have treated it properly regardless of where it came from. It's not like it was living tissue. Now, that would really be scary! |

Name: Kaine (verification pending)
Known Aliases: John Smith, Kaine Wesley, Kain Schwartz, Kane Melkovitsch Cain Connors, Cain Leroy, Orihara Kakaine
Age: Unknown
Sex: Male
Nationality: None
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 160 lbs
Classification: Demon (supposedly)
Base of Operations: Undisclosed
Kaine is a lesser demon just recently arrived to the Vice verse. He found Humanity amusing and the land interesting thus decided to stay here for his own amusement. He opened up an agency for "solving problems". If you make contract with Kaine he does any kind of odd jobs, perhaps for a compensation of "equal value". He's cunning, devious and alarmingly sharp. He claims to "love" the entire human race but his actions are kind of suspicious. Approach him on your own risk!
Kaine is a rather suspicious person. He seems to be very cocky with face always twisted in a smirk. On the first glance he appears as an arrogant hoodlum and he does have many streaks of childishness. Yet his eyes hide surprising intellect and a devious mind. Kaine knows much more than he reveals and pretty quick to pick on things. He also appears to be very random and often does the least expected thing possible. He respects no order and does whatever the hell he wants. By his admission Kaine "loves" Humanity which he expresses by putting people into various uncomfortable situations. He enjoys playing with people's heads or just plain annoy them all the time.
Agility: Kaine has insane reflexes and extremely nimble movements. If he wants to Kaine can even avoid a point-blank gunshot with ridiculous ease or move so fast he disappears from view. He's also skilled at the use of switchblades and able to leave several scars on someone in a flash. Plus Kaine can walk on any kind of surface be it walls, water or even ceilings. In a sense gravity has no effect on him.
Omnilingual: Kaine can understand and speak on any and all known languages, including both humans and animals. He can talk with who or whichever he wants to
Shapeshifting: Kaine can assume any kind of shape and even guise himself as someone else. The transformation is strictly physical though and cannot replicate special powers. Overusing his shapeshifting ability may also backfire on him with hilarious effects.
Regeneration: Kaine can slowly repair any physical damage done to him. Normal wounds can heal in days or hours but those of magical sources can take much longer. Even if he were to be completely vaporized, Kaine can eventually return. Exorcism and holy weapons are by far the most dangerous to him and has a chance to kill him for good.
Intelligence: Kaine is deceivingly smart. It doesn't look like at first but his smug smile hides many secrets. Somehow Kaine always knows more than he supposed to and he abuses it to his advantage.
Supernatural senses: Kaine has fine instincts and views the world differently than normal. He can spot unnatural powers and sense the presence of other demons. Furthermore he can feel hostile intents and seemingly avoid attacks without even looking at it.
Dreamweaver: Kaine can project himself in people's dreams to talk to them. It's usually just a short message and normally Kaine has no real control over the world of dreams.
Devil's Associates Agency
Kaine's mysterious office which is technically "nowhere yet everywhere and appears for anyone with a request in need". The building constantly appears on different places all over the world. One day it can be in San Francisco while on another it's located in Rome. His office is usually unseen though and dislocated from both time and space. To spot the Devil's Associates Agency, one must specifically have a job for Kaine to do. At his office the future client meets Kaine in person. They make a contract which ensures Kaine will fulfill the request. As compensation Kaine rarely accepts money. Instead he asks for "something of equal value" which he refuses to tell until the end of the job.
Being in contract unlocks Kaine's repressed powers and he even gains new abilities to complete the request. He cannot use these outside the permitted intents of the contract but Kaine almost always find a good loophole. He can accept more than one contracts but also refuse them if they're outside the scope of his abilities. Once the contract is established it cannot be undone. If either parties goes against the contract, it usually results in death. After accepting a request Kaine must deal with it, one way or another.
