Due to the fact that I work over night, and sleep during the day, the times that I sleep varies nearly everyday. The same goes for the days that I am off. You can keep the times the same, and I'll just try my best to make it in.
Would you like me to add you to the reserve list?
Having some issues with videos. If I record, do you guys want your voices to be recorded as well?
I won't be recording the voices if I join. Also, again can't guarantee that I'll join tonight, but I would love to though.

SF to LA and back on a 950SE
So I took a ride down to LA for the weekend. Mostly to visit college buddies, drink beer, bbq, and watch football. I only stopped for a few photos, and I'm afraid they are pretty monotonous: a 950SE in the foreground, scenery in the background. :evil
Packed. Going with backpack instead of soft panniers. Better mileage, not carrying a lot. Most tools under seat, including puncture kit. Did forget to bring a spare tube. D'oh. Wouldn't be a problem though. Tent and a very warm sleeping bag in case I get stranded overnight somewhere. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6232/6...5d236db4_b.jpg Random Moss Landing sculpture garden: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6...ea58da27_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6...1e2d6f1f_b.jpg http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6052/6...dc0f7eaa_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7023/6...e8f2ccf9_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6...1e23f0ec_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7174/6...8bcbc72f_b.jpg The place had a bit of a survivalist/redneck vibe with the Confederate flag out front. Don't see that often in the Bay Area. Gassed up in Big Sur with a quick Philly Cheesesteak with a side of chili. :D http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6...2a0da5a5_b.jpg Add a sticker. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6...82111f12_b.jpg Wasn't going all the way to LA before dark, so I looked for Nacimiento Road, and finally found it just South of Lime Kiln, and right across the highway from Kirk Creek campground. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6...05e16711_b.jpg Some stunning colors on the back-side of the hills. Camera overdid the saturation a bit. Very dark and moist micro-climates, despite bright sunshine at the coast. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7169/6...66a190d0_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/6...f6d4ed85_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/6...c5802d56_b.jpg The ride through Fort Hunter Liggett is beautiful. You come out through wine country on Jolon Road. Leaves had already changed from red to brown, sadly. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6...e745b103_b.jpg Stayed in San Luis Obispo. Rolled in at 5 as it was getting near dark. Negotiated a bargain on the broom closet room. Only had to kill one spider in the middle of the night. :eek1 :lol3 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6...aa1c541b_b.jpg Rolled into Westlake after noon and stopped for a snack. Found the holy grail: a cherry donut. In the entire bay area, all you can get is chocolate, glazed, maple, powder, plain. All donuts brown and lifeless. I could still call the trip a success if I had to turn around right there. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6...47444ce7_z.jpg Rolled in and my friend's son wanted to sit on the white whale. At 37"-38" height (maybe 39" with airhawk), he's got a little growing to do yet before I let him take it for a spin. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6...761629d3_b.jpg I learned "The Tennis Game." Essentially tennis without a racket, you throw the ball into the other court, and your opponent has to catch it barehanded before it bounces twice. He throws it back into your court. It's a good workout and a heckuva lot of fun, actually. The 10 year old beat the two 42 year olds. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6...26a86229_z.jpg And then it's time for two hand touch street football. I'm defending the youngster whilst wearing flip flops. He got by me every time. Hell, I just rode an SE into the cold wind for 400 miles, give me a break! The kid is a budding Jerry Rice though; hands like glue. And he was all-time receiver for about 50 plays and 18 touchdowns. I can't remember what it was like to have that kind of energy. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6...8364848e_z.jpg My hosts. It's a mixed marriage: she went to U$C. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6...6b55859d_z.jpg Bruins getting smoked? Time for some cornhole! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6...ecbf4a8f_z.jpg Too dark? Let's feed the lizards some crickets. Seriously, this kid does more in an afternoon than I do all week. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7174/6...8783e825_z.jpg Sunday it was up early, on the road by 7:20a.m. Decided I had time to try Nacimiento back the other way too. Stopped in Lockwood for trail mix and a sticker. Skull and bones not my thing, but it is Lockwood's thing, apparently. Meh, sticker no. 2 adds some character. Moved it back to the side panel later. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7030/6...572e5823_z.jpg Great switchbacks going up through the Los Padres National Forest. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6...f21b9e44_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6...e458f5be_b.jpg The view is definitely better going West on Nacimiento. You twist down from 2750 feet, incredible ocean views at every turn. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6...a412b4f6_b.jpg Yes, that's Hwy 1 WAAAAY down there. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7003/6...0da549c0_b.jpg Looking South, the direction I did not take. Beautiful, done it many times, but lots of slow going with holiday traffic. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7023/6...d890c5c3_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6...189027eb_b.jpg Couldn't get enough of that view. The SE peformed flawlessly. Not a single hiccup. Unfortunately the suspension is still stock-stiff, and the lack of windshield had me missing the r1200gsa a LOT. The SE is defninitely NOT an interstate highway bike, but it sure beats every other dirt bike I've used for the task. I think the severe cupping of the front nobbies is due to suspension and 70mph droning for hours at a time on the 101. Gotta drop some cash and get that revalved, but it will be worth it. EDIT: 40mpg for the trip! Go ride Fort Hunter Liggett and Nacimiento if you get the chance. Cheers. |
Enjoyed your report.
Nice pix and good lookin' katoom! The white is a very good look. I got to ride the Naci/Fort HL road this summer with one of my sons. It truly is stunning and is a must see/ride. Great stuff, thanks for sharing. |
Did the same ride north from SD back in Jun. Naci-Ferg road was awesome. I just came up to King City (and will be for the next few weeks) yesterday and took the 23 off the 1 outside of malibu. Great time. Left TJ at 12:36 and got in after 10. starter problem, but great ride up the 101. I'm going to be going up to SF next week or the following on the GW. I plan on hitting Naci-Ferg again on my way out of town.
One year bump. :D
Did the same football party trip this year in a car with the fiance. Took I-5 both ways. :snore EDIT - This is what a car report looks like (and the reason you can still own the url "interstatedriver.com" if you want to): http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8059/8...1520e605_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8067/8...a1617230_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8485/8...606b0db1_c.jpg The SE is under brand new black & orange plastics now, along with the original tank. She's purdy and perfect, but doesn't get ridden much any more. I did take the future Mrs. for short 25-35 mph spin around town last weekend -- her very first ride. She liked it, right up until I snapped open the throttle on an empty country road and accelerated up to 65mph in about 2 seconds then rolled it back down again. Squeezed the stuffing out of me. "Don't ever do that again!" Still -- she wants a helmet of her own now. With sparkles on it. :rolleyes EDIT- This year the good guys won, 38-28! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8057/8...e0ae6caa_c.jpg |
Sic bike:gerg
Awesome Pictures!
Yes, cool bike! Enjoyed the report and pictures.
Great pics. I spent time in that region while training as a bike racer. I plan on riding out this May and will be riding the same route north up into Oregon.
Spectacular photos of your bike ... I like:eek1
greetings Medel |
I like the colours
A colourful time of year for a ride; the seasons are something that I miss living where I do at present. Traveling light is the way to go.
hi Jim,
nice report. Glad to see you still have the white whale...get her that sparkly helmet... did you go to UCLA? I met my wife there at 424 landfair, crazzy party house:freaky |
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Yes R, I did go to UCLA--a long long time ago. Lived in 8-10 different apartments down there, different ones each summer and fall. :lol3 Cool that you met your wife there! The bike is not white anymore. Back to stock tank and all new plastic. White is in the bin until needed (or sold). http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8364/8...29d6d57c_b.jpg |
that bike is looking :freaky |

Cataclysm beta: New raid markers {WoW}
Nov 7th 2010 10:04PM I don't like the idea of having only 5 raid markers, we used to have a lot more options. However, for the purpose of identification in arenas (5v5s in particular), it is sufficient in identifying whose who amidst a confusing battle. The glow is a very beautiful touch though!

We have lined up a number of terrific speakers including Dr. Joachim Wenning, responsible for Global Life Reinsurance at Munich Re, as well as Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science Officer, SENS Research - who has an intriguing take on longevity. Adam Kreek, Olympic Gold Medalist will also be joining as our guest speaker. In addition, Dr. Angus Macdonald and Bob Howard will be sharing their genetic testing impact findings in a must-see breakout session. Watch for more details in the new year!
The CRC is one of the longest running and largest annual life (re)insurance gatherings in the world. It attracts over 500 delegates from insurance, reinsurance and retrocession companies, as well as a wide range of other key industry stakeholders including regulators, suppliers and consultants. Delegates attend from Canada, the United States and abroad to experience a unique combination of thought provoking information/education sessions and professional networking opportunities, all packaged into a dynamic one-day conference format!
The 2015 Conference Theme is:
Building on the fact that Toronto will be hosting the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan summer games, the 2015 CRC Theme is "REaching for Gold." The 2015 CRC will provide delegates with an opportunity to listen to how industry stakeholders are leveraging their technical, human and information resources. The goal of the conference is to ensure that every delegate is put in a position to reach for gold within their own organizations and within themselves.
The conference will focus on the radically changing global and North American landscape and the actions taken within the insurance and reinsurance business. Convergence, reform, and global risks are leading to a dramatic shift in product design, underwriting and administration.
We will be engaging champions both from the insurance and athletic world to share how they have been able to reach their aspirations and further delve into how companies are achieving success. Gold standards in technology, underwriting, professionalism and innovation will be the cornerstone of this year's conference.
In addition to welcoming the leaders above, the conference breakout sessions have been designed to further explore these themes from a number of perspectives including Longevity, Global Innovation, Genetics and more.
Save the date today and mark your calendar for what promises to be one of the "must attend" industry events for 2015 !

Really? Lacrosse Player Wears Blackface
The Duke website put up a picture of a female lacrosse player wearing blackface this week, before quickly yanking it offline. The University's official website briefly put a picture from a Halloween party online, showing a student athlete apparently dressed as "Buckwheat" from the Little Rascals, in full blackface makeup.
While the image is now gone, it seems that the image was taken at the lacrosse coach's home, which certainly shows some bad judgement (or worse) on the part of everyone involved. This is the latest in a checkered history for Duke lacrosse, scandals, and race relations - the program is still synonymous with the sexual assault scandal that rocked college sports in 2006.

I think you have picked the wrong fight. Find something that is worth a cause and go for it. We have already achieved the right(in some states) to oc. Be happy in that and move along.
I actually put some serious thought into carrying a BP revolver. I figure, one of the biggest concerns with OC is that the "man with a gun" calls start pouring into the local PD or 911 call centers (and this is very well documented fact). An old time BP revolver is probably among some of the least threatening looking guns that is somewhat viable as a self defense tool, and there may be less people concerned about it enough to call the cops. But there's no real basis for this theory other than my own opinion. It's the "somewhat viable", and "may be's" that I've been hung up on.
With open carry I think you are kinda asking for trouble
I have no interest in arguing about the merits of OC. But I do OC and most people I meet think it strange. The general reason is some variation of "You'll be the first target." Maybe so, maybe not. My reasoning for OC is perhaps a little different and may provide some other food for thought. If the bad guy comes in looking for a target, chances are he's going to shoot everything he can. Whether I'm the first target or the last makes little difference IF I CAN"T GET MY GUN OUT! I have tried a number of IWB tuckable holsters and find that I am unable to reliably clear my shirt to draw in any useful time. I ruined one shirt trying to figure out how to clear it, how to tuck it to make it easier, etc. I got to where I could clear the shirt in one pull perhaps 25% of the time. I tried timing a series of draws. After 10 draws I found I cleared the shirt in one try just twice. The other 8 attempts involved three or more pulling movements. Average time was over 10 seconds to get my gun. I'm pretty sure the bad guy is going to notice someone tearing at their clothes on the holster side. Probability of survival, low at best. So, out of all possible scenarios, that one is one I probably won't survive. But I don't think I'd survive either way. But for a large number of other scenarios, the presence of the gun functions as a deterrent. Bad guy enters looking for an easy score. Sees gun. Chooses another store or waits till the gun leaves. Chances of that being reported for statistical purposes, very low. Or, bad guy enters with concealed gun to scope it out. Decides to do something. Maybe I can see him do so, maybe I can't. But at least I have a chance at drawing in some useful time. Number of occurrences like this, zero. I'm often mistaken for an off duty cop because of open carry. Lots of bad guys don't want to shoot a cop. They watch a lot of TV and believe that shooting a cop attracts more unwanted attention than just a private citizen. True or not, it may work in my favor some of the time. What it comes down to is that I have not been able to figure out how to carry concealed with a reasonable chance of success. And in a lot of scenarios, the perceived disadvantage of OC is not as significant as the deterrent and the faster access when needed. All of the above is merely my opinion and belief. I can't substantiate it with statistical studies. But I believe it enough to bet my life on it. YMMV.

Kudos on you Balota. You said everything I would like to say myself. On a side, have you tried different holsters? There's such a ridiculous number of options out there that a man could go broke trying them all. I would suggest trying to find a store that will let you try a few on. That is, if you would really like to go concealed and still be able to draw. My longballer holster is great in every regard. It's a shame that particular vendor is no longer active, regardless of reasons. It's so secure, and draws beautifully. Reholstering can be a bit of an ordeal though, but I figure if I have to actually use my gun in self defense from the holster, I may not be too concerned about that at the moment.

How to Keep a Goldfish Alive
This article will give you some basic steps for keeping your goldfish alive. If you want to get more extreme with it, as in Guinness World Records extreme, read How to Make a Goldfish Live for Decades instead.
1The water must be filtered or it will DIE!Ad
2Feed it at least twice a day for as much as it can eat in five minutes.
3Watch out for any type of fungus on the fins or around the mouth, some fungus will rot the fins.
4Change 75% of the water every week.
5Keep them out of direct sunlight.
6The temperature should be a little more cooler than most fish like.Ad
We could really use your help!
mobile phones?
- The water should be under 70 °F (21 °C)
- Feed it ONLY a few flakes.
- Don't forget that every fish has a chance at life, as long as you give it the right care.
- It always helps to have a filter or pump to keep the water cleaner
- I use the filtered water they have at the stores and refill it for a few cents every time I clean their tank.
- Always have some medicine handy, just in case.
- Do NOT use a fish bowl. The tank should be at least 30 gallons (113.6 L).
- If the water gets too dirty it can cause bloodworms in the goldfish and they can easily die!
Things You'll Need
- Gravel
- Filter
- Fish flakes
- Medicine
- Good sized tank
- A goldfish

Hamilton Chief Promotes Community Policing
Hamilton's new police chief says his first few weeks in charge have been eye-opening.
Robb Bell assumed control of the department on July 1, following the retirement of former Police Chief Walt Sellens.
Bell has been in law enforcement for 12 years, the last seven with the Hamilton Police Department.
He appreciates how Sellens took the time to prepare him to be the man in charge.
Bell says some of his top priorities as chief are to combat the spread of drugs into the community and to make sure Hamilton's children know the police department has their backs.
Bell says the community policing efforts will continue next month as his department and the Hamilton Fire Department will host the 2nd Annual Safety Expo on Saturday, Sept. 22.

At least that crew is safe, because Stiles and Lydia have gotten themselves into a bit of a mess over at Eichen House. For some reason they don't scream "red flag!" at each other and run in the opposite direction when Brunski pops a mixed tape into his cassette player—you know, like the ones the Benefactor and no one else in the world still uses—right before he takes them to the records room, and they don't even notice when he locks the door behind him after they go inside. But as just about everyone should have guessed, that guy is evil, and he immediately tases them, chains them up, and tells them that all the suicides were, in fact, his doing, including Lorraine's. But he's no serial killer, he was just "helping them."
Too bad, because Parrish is about to do a little "helping" himself, when he storms in after figuring Brunski out, to find him holding a syringe to Lydia's neck, and is forced to shoot him. While Parrish frees them, Stiles and Lydia put together all the puzzle pieces: Brunski was controlling Meredith, he used her to create the dead pool, and he killed her when she tried to help them. So, you may have been more surprised to hear him gurgle his last words: "You think it was me? That I was controlling her? She was controlling me!"
Oh, hey there Meredith, been lurking in the shadows, organizing mass assassinations for long?
It was a little unfortunate that in Meredith's previous Teen Wolf outings, she was characterized almost entirely by her Banshee-induced mental illness; but if everything we've seen so far is an act, her "fragility" could end up making sense beyond just being a plot device. She certainly seemed in charge of her faculties when she demurred: "He wasn't on my list... but he was a bad man."
As excellently shocking as the Meredith reveal was—and, for me, it was shocking—we'll need a lot more development of both the conceit and the character, and quickly, for this Benefactor reveal to not feel like a bit of an easy out. Meredith is one of many interesting tertiary characters that has come and gone this season before really being able to have any sort of impact on the larger Teen Wolf world. Without a connection to the other characters and their world, what does it matter if she has to be taken down? Once they defeat Meredith, not only is there no real permanent effect on the future of the pack, but helpfully, Lydia also no longer has to feel bad about the pain that she and her grandmother inflicted on an "innocent" person.
Don't get me wrong—I'm all in on shock value; Meredith coyly sauntering around that shelving unit was simply chilling. Just as long as that shock has value. And it will! There are still three episodes left and approximately 700 storylines to tie up. We can only wait and see what Meredith's motives are, but until then, some questions if Meredith is really the head of this operation: Does Meredith not age? How long ago was that flashback supposed to be? Even with Brunski's help, how is she holding down the technology side of the dead pool exchanges from Eichen House? And further, how does an Eichen House patient cash $117 million in bearer's bonds?
A few more things…
–Clearly there is much more to the Benefactor story than just a vengeful Banshee—let's not forget Kate's weird hand-delivered mixed tape about werewolf history in Beacon Hills. Was that the doings of a 17-year-old girl? With all the technology and coding involved, I'm still holding out for Danny as the top of this pyramid scheme…
–You can mark my time of death as the exact moment I watched that Stilinski hospital scene. They just love each other so much!
–Stiles' ever growing need for that money, and Scott's fierce protection of it (but really terrible job at hiding it) seems to be building to something I am most certainly not emotionally prepared for.
–When Stiles and Lydia inevitably open up a detection agency, will their tag line be: "We're smarter, prettier, and snarkier than you… how can we help you with your supernatural emergency?"
–I'd watch a whole hour of Braeden breaking creeps' noses right after confusing them.
–And finally, what is with Derek's sage attitude about dying? Get some fight in you, old man, it's not time to go yet—you just got a normal girlfriend! (Well, she's a mercenary, but it's as normal as a Hale could hope for.)

Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese
A psychological thriller adapted from the 2003 novel of the same name, the film uses Alfred Hitchcock's noir style to keep the audience guessing throughout. Leonardo Di Caprio goes to Shutter Island, Ashecliffe hospital (an asylum for the criminally insane) to investigate the case of a missing prisoner. Special effects are used cleverly in order to transit between reality and the protagonist's alter world. The location where the film has been shot depicts the much-needed coldness in such a suspense thriller. An incredible plot, stunning acting by Leonardo Di Caprio, a good ensemble cast and an unexpected twist in the ending makes it a must watch.

Hey! I am wondering: What are your tips to stay motivated during weight loss?
Thanks alot!
Thanks alot!
Weight Loss Support - Motivation tipsView Full Version : Motivation tips LondonAngel 03-22-2008, 09:17 PM Hey! I am wondering: What are your tips to stay motivated during weight loss? Thanks alot! Princess0113 03-22-2008, 09:26 PM it helps to have something concrete to shoot for - something more than a number on the scale. like a certain outfit or size, buying new clothes, a certain activity, an event.... everyone can think of one thing they will be able to do or wear, or a reward they will give themselves when they lose weight. i think about shopping for a swim suit without getting totally disgusted with what i see, and being able to go to the beach and not stay wrapped in the towel the whole time. for me, it also helps to set mini-goals, like each month. then you have a lot of small successes along the way to your final goal. motomom2 03-22-2008, 10:05 PM Two other times, I have "committed" to losing the weight. When I have failed before, I looked back a month or so later and thought, "Darn, I could have been a few pounds lighter by now, had I stuck with it." This time, I am celebrating every day (currently on day #4) and know that one day, enough days will have passed for me to be looking better and noticing a difference. OnlyMeantWell 03-22-2008, 10:23 PM I bought a pair of size 14 jeans (I'm currently size 18) and everytime I think about not going to the gym, driving down the road to get a greasy hamburger, or just plain giving up I look at those jeans and think about how good they're going to look on me when I can lose the weight. The first time I tried to lose the weight I bought a pair of size 6 jeans..which is where idealy I will be after this journey, but I realized that I kept failing because it was going to be such a long time before I could get into them. To get into my size 6 jeans I would have to lose at least 85 pounds! I figure to lose 85 lbs it would take me about 14-16 months at the least! After continually getting discouraged, I bought the size 14 jeans because that is a goal that I will be able to see a lot sooner than the size 6 jeans. I figure once I can fit into my 14's I'll be even more motivated to continue. Sorry this was so long :) Heather 03-23-2008, 01:25 AM It's difficult to stay motivated for a long weight loss journey, at least it was for me. Rather than relying on motivation, I tried to really make a commitment. As an example, for me, getting the exercise in is always difficult. I just don't want to do it most of the time. So, I commit to an exercise goal each month and stick to it. Then, motivated or not, I have to do it! Tomato 03-23-2008, 11:32 AM To get into my size 6 jeans I would have to lose at least 85 pounds! I figure to lose 85 lbs it would take me about 14-16 months at the least! After continually getting discouraged, I bought the size 14 jeans because that is a goal that I will be able to see a lot sooner than the size 6 jeans. Hey OnlyMeantWell, that was a smart decision! I agree with your thinking, it is much closer goal (and therefore more easily achievable goal) to shrink into size 14 than into size 6. At my fittest (in the last 15 years, when I already lived in Canada), I wore size 8 pants. They were from Gap and I think Gap maybe one of those places where they "downsize" the labels for psychological purposes. I think I still have the pants somewhere, because I was never able to give them up. I doubt that I will ever be size 8 again, but that is not important to me (the size, that is). I want to lose weight to the point where I think I am at the right height and maintain it from there on. Besides, sizes vary from one store to another. :p fiberlover 03-23-2008, 11:33 AM Motivation is fleeting. It gets you started on the journey, but commitment and dedication are the ones that keep you going. I was reading the book "Confessions of a former fat girl" and she has a saying that she uses. "It's not an option". So if you think of straying from your plan, say "It's not an Option". Start flexing that dedication muscle and make it strong! oreokitty 03-23-2008, 01:39 PM I keep on thinking of how I want to be comfortable in my body. A day at a time, I commit to eating no sugar, white flour, white pasta, etc. which helps me not binge eat. So the food has been okay since Sept 07. But as I just said in another post, I'm waiting for the hand of God to come down to help me exercise. I definitely need a change in mindset in this area. Amy Apple Cheeks 03-24-2008, 09:48 PM I keep pictures of me at my flabbiest looking on my refrigerator and in the room where I work out as a visual reminder of exactly why I am now chosing to exercise and eat healthy. I also keep pictures of me at my fittest (from a few years back) posted around my computer, so that I can see what I am working towards, and I know it's possible to achieve it. I scribbled out a little mantra to post in my office at home that says, "I can be lazy, or I can be fit, but not both." It's a reminder to me that I can't just lounge around eating junk food and expect to be slim. I remind myself that losing weight is like a long road through the desert: there may be pot holes, bumps, and curves in the road, but if I just stay on course and keep going then I will get to my destination. I can't let little slip-ups cause me to slam on the brakes and give up. I come onto this website and read lots of posts that give me inspiration, and tips that I have really found useful. Knowing that I can seek out and get positive support here whenever I need it is gratifying, too. :hug: horsey 03-24-2008, 11:18 PM I think I agree, motivation seems to come and go... mine went for a time and now it's back to the program because I see a few pounds. I'm gonna have to make this working out thing like brushing my teeth, something I HAVE to do no matter what. I don't like mornings but it does seem to be the time to get it done and feel more energized for the day. On eating I"m doing ok, I sort of "automated" what I eat, buy certain things, learned what superfoods are, mostly know the calories I"m eating... it's exercising motivation. I AM NOT going to get FAT again, I've done the yo yo thing before... almostheaven 03-25-2008, 12:26 AM They should be the same thing that motivated you to lose weight in the first place. And if that wasn't something solely for yourself, then it's not likely to have a large impact to keep you going. If you were motivated for your health or to enjoy your time better with your family, a reason that can keep you going and not a here today gone tomorrow one, like maybe a boyfriend, then that motivation is still there. You just have to keep reminding yourself of that reason you first decided to lose weight. You can do small things to help push you, but the motivation is really what made you want to lose it to start with. Some of what I did along the way was to picture my favorite actresses tummy as being MY tummy. ;) Course I wouldn't mind looking like Julia Roberts all around, and not just in the tummy. ;) I also bought an outfit that was more expensive than I would normally buy, and a size smaller than I wore. I hung it on the front of my dresser so I'd see it daily, have to move it to get into my drawers, and would try it on daily until the darned thing fit. LOL Then I'd go buy another one. And the best way to stick to it...get all the junk out of the house. If you have a spouse or parents, which might make that impossible, try at least relegating your healthier foods to a separate cabinet and fridge shelf. That way you don't have to look at the other stuff, so it doesn't tempt you. PhotoChick 03-25-2008, 12:38 PM Motivation is fleeting. It gets you started on the journey, but commitment and dedication are the ones that keep you going. Yeah. The more I go through this journey, the more I realize this. I have days that I'm motivated and days that I'm not. But overall I realize that I feel better and I feel better about myself when I do what's "right" for me. So it's just a lifestyle commitment. Just like brushing your teeth every day, getting up in the morning and going to work, choosing what TV shows you'll watch. You choose what to eat, choose to exercise, and choose to be healthy. Which kinda sucks. :) It would be a lot easier if there were a magic motivational bullet. . Daffy29 03-25-2008, 01:36 PM Several things have helped me so far. Visiting here every day, and reading and making at least a few posts. There's always something inspirational to find, and it reminds me I am not alone in this. Keeping a blog, which helps me work through things and be aware of what I'm learning, and the unexpected benefits of eating better, losing weight and becoming more fit. These two things keep me 'engaged' in the process by keeping it in the forefront of my mind. Thinking about my long-term reasons: I am only a few years away from retiring, and we plan on carrying out big renovations on our retirement place and doing the work ourselves. I need to be healthy and fit to accomplish that, and then to be able to enjoy the results for many years to come with my spouse. Ti'an twentysixpoint2 03-25-2008, 01:42 PM My biggest motivational tool is thinking about the benefits of either option, maintaining a lower weight and my fitness vs. being overweight and unfit. In the fit column, we have fun activities like hiking, running races, chasing nephews, not paying for cable television... In the tubby and unfit column, we have getting to sleep in every day, eating crap (but then feeling like it... a con...), obsessing about stupid tv shows. Then I just mentally make the decision every time my motivation wanes that the fit and healthy benefits are more important to me. I imagine these things vary by person, but I think generally, most people will find more benefits to weight loss. I also try to steer clear of aesthetic goals too much, personally, because there are so many days where I find myself not caring what I look like and frumping it up, so I can't put all my eggs in that basket. I can be a frump having fun if I'm fit! trooworld 03-26-2008, 01:16 PM God, I really needed to read this today. I need to read it everyday, actually. I haven't lost my motivation now, but I am just coming back from a spell of losing motivation. You guys are so wise. Thanks. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

The SCHS girls' cross-country team looked strong Saturday despite missing their top runner.
Shelby County finished third out of nine teams in Class 3A, and placed three runners in the top 30 at the Kentucky Track and Cross County Coaches Association Meet of Champions at Masterson Station Park in Lexington.
Freshman Taylor Webb led the way, placing third overall out of 78 runners. Webb just missed the 20-minute mark with a time of 20 minutes, 4 seconds.
The folks around Tapp's Feed Store in Shelbyville were pretty excited watching the Breeders' Cup races this weekend, and it wasn't because of a wager pool.
Tapp's actually feeds two of the horses that won at Santa Anita in the spectacular event that culminates the year of Thoroughbred racing.
Manuel A. Hernandez, 21, of 355 Midland Trail in Shelbyville was arrested Nov. 8 at Neutral One at 132 Midland Boulevard and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, first and second offense, second-degree disorderly conduct and third-degree criminal mischief.
Felipe D. Rodriguez, 40, of 800 Main St. in Shelbyville was arrested Nov. 7 at that address and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, first and second offense and second-degree disorderly conduct.
It's not pretty in there -- big guys exploding off the line into one another. It's not a place for the faint of heart or the timid.
But games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage.
From wandering carolers to horse-drawn carriage rides, the annual Celebration of Lights kicks off the holiday season in downtown Shelbyville on Saturday.
"It's the perfect time for families to get out and roam the streets and go into shops and start their holiday festivities," organizer Harriet Massey said. "The weather's going to be pretty, and we're going to have a great time."
7:30 p.m. Friday, at Robert Doyle Stadium
Radio: WXLN-FM (93.3)
Records: Seneca 4-6, Shelby County 8-2
Last week: Seneca won, 28-19, at Eastern; Shelby County won, 28-13, at Oldham County.
Previous meeting: Shelby County won 31-30 at Seneca on Sept. 11.
Coaches: Seneca, Louis Dover (21-46, 6th year at school); SCHS, Todd Shipley (52-58, 10th year at school)
Shelby County officials learned last week that they had been awarded a Homeland Security Grant of $222,918.
The money will be used to complete for new electronic equipment, including three receivers, three microwave links and the construction of a tower, which will improve communications for first responders in the county and surrounding areas.
Emergency Management Director Charlie Frazee said these communications upgrades would improve reception greatly.
With the boys' Class 3A, Region 4 cross country meet, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
For the past two years, Shelby County's Stacey Eden has taken the top individual honors and Trinity has taken the team title. And this weekend, when the region meet begins at 1:15 p.m. at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park, those rules may remain constant.

Good Friday,
It's been a tough week. We're all still a bit fried from deadline - except Dan, who's fried instead from having been at Ubidays while PSM3 was on deadline, and will tell you more of it next week (he's off today) - but at least the weekend is here. A bank holiday weekend, at that.
And it's a weekend that we highly recommend you spend downloading the latest update to PS3's firmware (version 1.8), if you haven't already, so you can play your PS2 games on your PS3 in 1080p. If you've a shiny enough telly, that is. Or a PS3. Got your new firmware? What do you think?
Failing that, you could ponder the news that Haze, Ubisoft's ace-looking FPS, is now a 'sort-of' PS3-exclusive, in that PS3 is the only format it will appear on in 2007. 2008 will doubtless see it hit Xbox and PC, but it's nice to be first.
Or you might want to get excited about the announcement of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on PS3, allowing "you to play through the events of all six Star Wars movies in one game for the first time ever". Admittedly, this sounds simply like LSW1 and LSW2 bundled together on one disc, but this still makes us very happy indeed. LSW on PS3 - ace.
Oh, there was something else... what was it?... oh yeah - new screens of GTAIV. That was it. Check them out. Only a few months to go now....

ArtWalk Takes Over Michael's to Support Coalition for the Homeless
Mary Brosnahan. By PatrickMcMullan.com.
The highlight of the evening was the drawing for a photograph by Alix Smith, entitled "Arranged Appearances 1." After a frenzy of ticket sales, the winning ticket went to publicist Susan Shin. "I have never won anything in my life. I always go to charity events and buy raffle tickets to be supportive but this was something I really wanted!" she said. Among those who attended were European society swan Olympia Scarry and curator Neville Wakefield, who curated this year's PS1 Greater New York show. Both were overheard inquiring about volunteering opportunities.
Others spotted in the crowd: Peter Davis, Vogue's Valerie Boster, artist Andres Serrano, Art Production Fund Director Casey Fremont and stylists Natalie Kates and Justo Artigas, who chatted with celebrity D.J. Donna D'Cruz. Men about town William Heath, and Martin Dawson mingled artist Les Rogers, Vincent Fremont, and Topper Mortimer, who was with his girlfriend, Meredith Ostrom. Kayce Freed Jennings, whose late husband Peter Jennings founded ArtWalk in 1994, and curator Sima Familant, who distributed buttons by artist Daniel Joseph Martinez in anticipation of her exhibition "Grass Grows by Itself" at Marlborough Gallery, on July 14. ArtWalk NY will take place on November 4, and is hosted by Alec Baldwin, Carey Lowell, and Richard Gere.

Who said that natural dissenters aren't profitable?
Tower says a lower net profit at $33.4 million is "satisfactory" in a year the country suffered major earthquakes.
The listed insurer and financial services group lost $23.6 million as a result of the earthquakes in Christchurch this year.
Stripping out that amount, and a $2.4 million gain from better discount rates under new accounting standards, a profit of $54.6 million was achieved -- $3.7 million or 6% lower than the year to September last year.
The biggest proportion of that, at $21.2 million, was earned within the life insurance division.
Group managing director Rob Flannagan said the Christchurch earthquakes and the global financial crisis created a difficult operating environment during the year.
Earthquake-related claims of more than $450 million were being processed by the insurer and were to be met during the normal course of business.
Tower, 35% owned by Guinness Peat Group, will pay a final dividend of 2 cents per share on February 1, bringing the payout for the full-year to 6 cents.
Shares in Tower are trading down 4c or 2.7% at $1.43.
Subsidiary Tower Capital made a net profit of $404,000, down 6.5% for the year, on revenue of $8.2 million.

Billionaire Jerry Jones Employs Man To Clean His Glasses (VIDEO)
OK, OK - we don't know for certain that our assertion in the headline is absolutely true. But if you watch this video of billionaire Jerry Jones at a recent Dallas Cowboys match (he owns the team, in case you're wondering), you'll see that he certainly appears to have a rather suave-looking man clean his spectacles for him, rather than do it himself.
Whatever next? Does the man do other stuff, too, like handing Jerry a hankie whenever he needs to blow his nose (and then discreetly disposing of any bogeys)?
And if you're in the market for some more amusing YouTube clips, perhaps we can interest you in our latest round-up of funny viral videos...

To read more news from Washington State ESDs, see 2014 Fall AESD Dispatch.Message from our AESD PresidentGreetings, Summer is officially over and fall has "fell." More than one million Washington students are enrolled in nearly 2,400 schools serviced by our ESDs. This service is not only valuable, but critical to many districts. In 2013, at a cost of just over $5 million from the state coffers, ESDs were able to leverage and provide services to districts and students valued at over $212 million. That's $42 in educational services and programs for every $1 of state core funding. Without this funding student services would necessarily decrease and overall costs to the state and local taxpayers would increase. We often hear criticism of today's educational system. I believe this criticism is sorely misplaced. From my perspective as a former student, teacher, school principal and parent, it is apparent that today's student receives an overall better education than at any time in our state's history. Behind this education is an ESD. Working independently and collectively as a network, our ESDs not only efficiently provide necessary day-to-day services but are also at the forefront of innovative change; providing the knowledge, training and support necessary to make these changes systemic. To my fellow ESD board members and to the administration and staffs of all nine Washington ESDs – I congratulate you on a job well done. It is true that the education of our children is the paramount duty of our state. We can be proud of our role in this endeavor. ~Gary Coe, 2014-15 AESD President Gary Coe is a lifelong Washington resident, is married with two sons and 7 grandchildren. He retired from a 31-year career in education as a teacher, coach, athletic director and high school principal. He is a U.S. Army veteran and earned a BA in Economics from WSU, as well as an MA in School Administration from Whitworth.

a problem with FONT
I tried to install some new fonts from the /windows/fonts (in windows system), and also deleted some fonts of linux.
Now, the system can not run in graphical user interface anymore.
When i run comands:
xdm, the screen turn to black in about 1s, and then come back to the bash console.
startx, the screen displays an error "Fantal Server Error: Could not open default font 'fixed' ".
I tried to reinstall the missing fonts from the installation DVD but it does not help .
I am not sure if this problem comes from my improper setting of the display or from the missing fonts.
Please help me to solve the problem, and tell me which fonts i can delete and which fonts is mandatory and can not be deleted.
thank you very much for the help.

I don't know off-handedly how to fix your problem, but I do have a good idea how to prevent this happening in the future. First, never delete anything outside of your home directory unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing.
Second, if you need the basic MS Windows fonts they're available for free and you can install them on Linux in a number of ways. The easiest way to do this in SuSE Linux is to open up Yast Online Update and choose the "Microsoft TrueType Fonts" package and install it. This will take care of all the gritty details for you and avoid this happening in the future.Registered Linux user #270181

Just boot with the install dvd, go through the reinstallation program.
When you get to the point where it is actually going to start the install, a window will come up asking you what you want to do with the current installation, choose to repair it.How to know if you are a geek.

Both of you stop insulting each other. Your attitudes are not doing your skills justice and its becoming annoying. Pardon my liberal outlook but this is not something thats important enough to be getting this worked up over... or past tense that, not something to have gotten that worked up over. Can a peaceful resolution be the cherry on this turd?
La la la la la, OK points are made in both threads. Time to get some normality back. You wish to carry on, use the Pm system, you can send to multiple people.
