Keep your backyard safe

Some guidelines from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for making your backyard safe.
n Always supervise children on swing equipment.
n Most injuries are caused by falls. Install a protective surface under and around play equipment to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries. Use wood chips for equipment that stands 8 feet high, or sand for equipment up to 5 feet high.
n Kids need room to run and play. Make sure each piece of equipment has at least six feet of play area around it.
n Strangulation is a danger. Do not allow children to wear helmets, especially ones with chin straps, and never attach ropes or cords of any kind to the equipment.
n Hooks can catch clothing. Close S hooks and other types of hooks so that the gaps are less than the thickness of a dime.

See you in the spring
Have a great winter, stay safe and warm, don't eat too much and try to get to the gym a few times, the first race of the 2015 season will be here before you know it.
RIP Dave Mignault
Dave Mignault passed away on February 11, 2015. He was found in the snow in the pit area. Although Dave lived at Capeway Rovers Motorcycle Track he was homeless and had no contact with his family. He had family but they are unable to provide burial or funeral services for him. He did have many friends and acquaintances. These people were the folks that Dave encountered during his trips around North Carver and while living at Capeway. Dave's only possessions were his dog and his bicycle. His only transportation was that old bike. It was that bike that got him to the places he needed to go to to survive. And as he pedaled he made friends. Besides his friends around town and Capeway he had a few special friends who looked out for him. When Lisa Brouillard heard of his death she didn't want Dave to be buried in an unmarked grave. This what happens to the homeless and destitute. She could not fathom a person living their whole life and then be buried in that manner. So we am asking you, his friends and community to donate so that we as a community and friends of Dave can provide a decent farewell to our friend on a bicycle.

Initial Thoughts on 15.5
Open Workout 15.5 Preliminary Thoughts
It's Decision Time……
Castro came out with a bit of a burner in the form of:
For Time (no time cap):
27 Cal Row
27 Thruster 95#/65#
21 Cal Row
21 Thrusters 95#/65#
15 Cal Row
15 Thrusters 95#/65#
9 Cal Row
9 Thrusters 95#/65#
The decision this week comes in the form of you, the athlete, needing to decide how much you want to hurt. For higher level athletes this workout can, and will, be done unbroken (no drops of the bar). Will it hurt? Absolutely it will hurt. But when it is a "for time" workout with simple movements the winner will be he/she who is willing to push both movements harder who will come out on top.
We saw three great competitors go after this workout this week and we saw three very different styles of athletes that we need to take note of:
- Camille Leblanc-Bazinet (finished third tonight): she is a bit shorter, more compact athlete. She has to work quite hard, in comparison to Briggs and Thorisdottir, to push the row pace. She went unbroken on the thrusters and still finished almost 1 minute behind Briggs
- Samantha Briggs (won tonight's workout): She is a slightly taller athlete with a BIG aerobic engine. She can use the levers of her body to move the rower very effectively but she can also maintain good rhythm on the thrusters. She was able to outpace Thorisdottir on the thrusters from round 1 on
- Annie Thorisdottir (finished second tonight): She is also a taller athlete but she is also quite long in the limbs so she was struggling a bit more than the other girls to push the thruster pace hard
All 3 women went unbroken on this workout which will be the norm for top athletes but it will absolutely NOT be the norm for the bulk share of the world. So how do you go at this workout?

Supporting Your Athletes
When you hear the phrase "support your clients", what thoughts come to mind?
Guidance? Listening? Cheerleading?
Often times 'support' can get pinned as a 'soft-around-the-edges' kind of term.
However, I beg to differ.
Support isn't just about cheerleading. It is about helping somebody build a stronger belief and accountability in themselves.
As coaches, it is imperative that we recognize this.
Helping athletes define their own personal journeys is why I truly love to coach. Supporting an athlete's journey is rewarding as the athlete develops the confidence and awareness of their own potential to go after their highest values not only in fitness and in life.
Developing your athletes' confidence and awareness, around their own thoughts and actions, can be done through a simple detached coaching method, as follows:
- Keep EMOTION out of the PLAN. Training and Coaching is not (and should not be) emotional. The more I coach, the more I realize how emotions get in the way of the plan. Putting a program together is logical and practical not emotional. The best athletes don't respond to cheerleading, they already are driven enough, they respond to good leadership and trust.
- Be Logical. Developing a plan and coaching is logical, cheerleading is emotional. There is a fine balance between both that allows for a coach/athlete relationship to work for the embitterment of the athlete. Too much emotion (aka cheerleading) doesn't lead to mentally strong athletes. Athletes that look for the emotional cries, in my opinion, are in their sport for the wrong reason. Great Athletes are NOT developed by the loudest coach. Great athletes are driven internally and look for their coach to lay down the MOST logical way to achieve their goal.
Simple? Yes.
Easy? Not always.
Separate emotion from the plan, and keep a clear head in your interactions and coaching up of your athletes.
Support goes much further than cheering your athletes and clients on…be strong.

Athlete Spotlight; Sarabeth Phillips
15th place in the World during the Open is no easy task.
Sarabeth Phillips currently holds that spot going into the fifth and final week of the Open, after five long years of fighting to be on top.
Marching into the 2015 Games season, the five-time CrossFit Regional athlete and USAW American Open Champion Sarabeth, knew she needed something 'different' when it came to her training and programming for her sixth CrossFit Open this year.
Hungry to qualify for the CrossFit Games, after having been around the sport since 2008, she didn't know exactly what that 'something different' entailed until she met OPEX Coach Mike Lee last summer at the NPGL Vegas Combine.
Mike saw the natural athlete Sarabeth was from the get-go, and after talking extensively about her as an athlete, and he goals, Sarabeth said she immediately felt Mike could help her reach her goals.
"And not only help me reach my goals but surpass them and do even more," Sarabeth said.
She began training with Mike as an Exclusive Coaching client not long after, and this week, she currently sits in 15th place in the World on the CrossFit Games Leaderboard, on the tails of Open Workout 15.4.
"(Since working with Mike) my training, lifestyle and mindset have changed so much in just this short time! I honestly feel like a completely different athlete. He's helping me become the athlete that I know I'm capable of being. Everything is dialed in and we are continuing to work on that," Sarabeth said.
Her performance on Open Workout 15.4 speaks for itself alone: a score of 166 reps (into her round of 27 handstand pushups).
"If there was a workout with my name it, this might be it! 166. Super fun. When it was announced I literally screamed and I never get excited about Open workouts usually," Sarabeth said.
As a former gymnast of 10 years, it's no wonder she was excited—however, Sarabeth said she also credits Coach Mike's specific work with her on her metabolic engine. Since she is an ICU nurse and often works the night shift, she said that greatly impacts her work capacity. Nonetheless, Coach Mike's individualized design programming has helped her work around that.
"As an athlete, night shift is extremely detrimental in all aspects. I was sick throughout the Open and I was not where I needed to be metabolically. So I knew something big had to change. When I started working with Mike and OPEX, I trusted him fully to tackle all my weaknesses. I dove in head first and let my hard work speak for itself. Aside from training, we have been making sure my work schedule stays the same, my nutrition is on point and I stay feeling great," Sarabeth said.
While there is one more week left of the Open, Sarabeth confidently says this year has been her best Open to date.
"This year's Open was the first time I've ever felt extremely prepared and ready to take on whatever was thrown my way," Sarabeth said.
Her advice for other athletes, with high hopes of continuing to improve?
"A coach can make or break you as an athlete, but you have to buy in to what they are doing and trust them 100% each and every day. Lots of things don't make sense to me at the time but the bigger picture (CrossFit Games) is what I'm focused on and I know Mike has the best plan for me in place. OPEX has changed my life so much and I'm grateful to be working within the system," Sarabeth said.
Look out for Sarabeth on the Leaderboard in the final week of the Open, as well as her presence in the sport of weightlifting.
"I want to be a National Champion weightlifter, qualify for the Pan Am team for USA and have a chance at the Olympic Trials," she said.

Own Your Fear
Jump to 17:25 of this vid and in between the lines of humor there are some great words of wisdom. Two of my mentors have taught me to embrace the struggle:
"Life is hard."
No sugar coating that with flowery language, just three simple words.
And this sentiment is reflected in the video:
"Whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity. And with clarity comes conviction and true originality".

Finishing the Fight
The end is near.
This week marks the final workout of the 2015 Open; and what a long 5-week process it has been.
Year in and year out, as to be expected with any competition in which you give it 'your all', the Open puts a large amount of stress on us physically and mentally.
In turn, many athletes get burnt out before "the end."
This year, in particular, has challenged some weaknesses for athletes, that may have even invoked frustration—thus, spurring on the desire for it all to 'end' even more so.
March 22, 2015
Ideal pre/post workout nutrition
What is the ideal pre and post-workout nutrition?
There is simply no ONE 'size-fits-all' prescription for people out there who exercise.
You know why?
Everyone has variation based on:
- How the workout will feel
- What their function is for training (i.e. competition, strength or muscle gain, body composition, health and longevity, etc.)
- What their gender, training age and ability level is
- The intensity of the session
- And more…
March 21, 2015
Why your clients DON'T have muscle-ups
Open workout 15.3 opened a can of worms for many athletes within the CrossFit community—you either had muscle-ups or you did not, in order to 'get through' the RX version of the workout.
Seven muscle-ups stood between many athletes and a set of 50 wall-balls, and greatly impacted the names on the Leaderboard—particularly for those not necessarily guaranteed a spot at Regionals, or simply competing in the Open to see where they measure up against thousands of other athletes worldwide.
"(This workout) will let us know who in the community who has muscle-ups (and who does not)," Dave Castro said at the 15.3 live announcement at CrossFit Chicago last week.

Artist Name Page URL Error Details Frances McDormand PROFILE One of the few actresses willing to forgo glamour and ego in favor of presenting realistic, multi-dimensional characterizations, Frances McDormand is capable of lending depth and originality to any number of roles. Whether playing a hugely pregnant sheriff, a dull-minded adulteress, or a struggling lesbian shoe saleswoman, McDormand has displayed a rare versatility that has made her one of the more underrated actresses in Hollywood. Born the daughter of an Illinois minister on June 23, 1957, McDormand attended West Virginia's Bethany College and the Yale Drama School. She went on to gain professional experience appearing in numerous stage productions across the country. In 1984, McDormand made her film debut in the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple, thus beginning an association with the filmmakers that was further solidified when she married director Joel Coen that same year. Although she received good reviews for her portrayal of an adulterous wife in the film, it would be four years -- save for a cameo in the Coens' Raising Arizona (1987) and various small roles -- before she would be featured in another. In the meantime, McDormand's stage career flourished, and she received a Tony nomination for the 1987 Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire. She also did periodic television work, co-starring on the short-lived detective drama Legwork (1987) and appearing in a recurring role on Hill Street Blues. In 1988, McDormand once again edged into the Hollywood spotlight, winning an Oscar nomination for her role as a Klan wife who testifies against a good ol' boy sheriff in Alan Parker's Mississippi Burning. Subsequently, McDormand's film career picked up, and she appeared in a wide variety of well-wrought dramas, including Darkman (1990), Ken Loach's controversial Hidden Agenda (1990), the Coens' Miller's Crossing (1990), and Robert Altman's Shortcuts (1993). In 1996, the actress won a Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of sheriff Marge Gunderson in Fargo, another Coen Brothers film. The following year, she co-starred as a German doctor in Bruce Beresford's World War II drama Paradise Road, and then tried her hand at children's films with a starring role in Madeline (1998).

From the botched Theraclone merger:
Only after being pressed by Prescott did PharmAthene admit that its valuable $134 million NOL will be limited to a fraction of its stated value post-merger.
Wouldn't Siga acquire the $134M NOL if a (new) merger agreement becomes the new goal?
If the Siga Accounting team is half as good as the Siga legal boyz there will be joy in both camps. And, hopefully a mediated solution before the Chapter 11 reorg plan is due.
Smells like it when I see the Siga price on volume over the past few weeks.
Small Siga shareholders I wish a rich future, We PIP boyz may even be a part of Sigal via a stock award being part of the reorganization plan. (Ah, the higher prcice needed for Siga share now.
2 weeks, most likely, to 2 years and we will all be on the same team. XXO XX
Pharmathene has $136 in NOL carry loss forwards. Siga has already written off a $50m NOLs (time limits?) because...
Yes, the accounting moves may be looking good for Siga and PIP. Maybe a merger?
I'm guessing Siga's legal team is very happy with the $113M Parsons awarded Pharmathene. Pushing the court case further could open Siga up to expectation damages closer to what many others expected (adding another $100M). Folks I was long Siga in Sept 2006 I have know how many billions the Feds were throwing at the fight to prevent a bioterror attack. Expectation damages? Why did Pearlman fire Drapkin in 2007 after he failed to do thorough research before unloading -246 in 2006. No doubt partly because he saw the ponytail $2.8 Billion contract coming, then one that was eventually modified to $433M plus another $150M possible that are not included in the base $433 million. Maybe some news about that $150M will be hear in the yearly filing for shareholders to dissect. Folks that is around $3/share for Siga.
Siga price move today on nice volume
Expectation damages are going to be easily handled. The best accounting method is likely the only thing they are focused on at Siga. Pharmathene is in their back mirror and the legal team has probably made that clear by now.
GLTA, looks like the small PIP shareholders will never get that one last hysteria price break markets can provide.
Like to see the small shareholders (investors) get a ROI. I'm long PIP. Siga has a lawyered up smell that wants to enrich the insiders as much as possible. It would be nice if the small investor(s) in Siga make a profit.
I'm also a taxpayer. Pharmathene 2006 should have been a good thing for taxpayers and BARDA.
I would also like to see taxpayers get a fair deal from Siga, as in focus on production at a fair price. Legal games and line your pockets seems to have been the focus at Siga.
I pay taxes.
My guess. Siga shareholders will also benefit from the hard line Pharmathene has drawn. Siga "elite" management team, not so much. The legal team at Siga has been very good and I'm sure they have been well rewarded.
Pharmathene bashers??? Probably the boyz trying to collect spooked shares at lower prices.
This Chapter 11 The Debtor in Possession will be Siga. They will need to submit a reorganization plan approved by their chief creditor Pharmathene. No ill will, just complete the BARDA contract in an efficient and timely manner. As for the Bonus Siga requested for he management team...
Nice to see how Pharmathene is starting this process.
To the Delaware Courts:
Siga boys living the life of luxury and would love to know how they spent so many millions in devoting 246. Thinks Pharmathene would have taken hard measures like a well run company and met deadlines and budgets?
"The Board is confident that our strategy adopted today is in the best interests of shareholders and provides the clearest path for value creation while maintaining the viability of our existing biodefense assets as we identify appropriate collaborators moving forward."
Can't wait for Chapter 11 and the bonus plan for management? lol
renewed interest speculating in small cap biotech?
You should see a nice bump in some cancer related companies that are presenting at ASCO, every years biggest cancer meeting. Bumps when stocks are added in annual Russell rebalancing. Then the summer swoon often sets in.
Nov 14 was my first wrong guess. Siga has more reason every day to settle this out of court ASAP. Your one year guess sounds very plausible.
A. The pink slime has to go. Change before it's too late.
B. Today's kids have an attitude about McDonalds and it's not good.
Sell the pops and buy the dips. Because it's a dividend play this should be a good strategy for a long time. It''s going to be a slow death me thinks,
Siga Management:
The record shows that by spring 2006, SIGA was quickly running out of money. See T. Tr. 1396-97 (Konatich); JTX 214 ("If we could have saved the $1.3 million wasted on [former SIGA executives] we could have gone forward on our own.") (Konatich); JTX 205 ("At this point the terrifying thing is if the deal falls through and we are back to no [money], no CEO and a #$%$ off Donny.") (Hruby). In fact, SIGA was able to use approximately $600,000 from the Bridge Loan to begin human safety trials in May 2006. JTX 203, 210.
Decided: September 22, 2011
* Now look how they handle cash while in Chapter 11.
it's so speculative that it's speculative.
PiPtinians hate soup, I'll eat it anyway if comes with a settlement. Or, is the soup just speculative?
I thought it happens when you die. (joke)
Chapter 11?
Delaware Appeal?
Siga, Pharmathene out of court settlement?
My guess November 2014. Now, next week to 2025 (someone else gave that date)
Do you see a logical date? I had a tiny hope that the Siga or PIP 10K would reveal something new.
"doesn't sound too good" for Siga. Phamathene ready for ...a strategy that Court calls: "defense-by-attrition,"
In Chapter 11 Pharmathene can ask the New York club how much luxury is the Siga "conglomerate" now allowed to spend of taxpayers money. Not to mention the many millions the Siga Fan Boys love to see them spend on the Siga Saga.
* Is the Delaware Court of Chancery sick of bad faith and ill will living so well.
* Is Chapter 11 Court blind to the overly complicated accounting and seriously deficient R&D team that is jus nowt getting the 246 dosage correct, I hope
* BARDA no doubt wishes CMX001 could protect a monkey from monkepox. CMX001 and Tecovirimat combination therapy look like the futures therapy of choice for a long time.
Siga Conglomerate needs a lot of money daily to keep this lawyered up game to keep taxpayer money funneling into their genius lawyer expense accounts.
"Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a realignment plan to maximize, for its shareholders, the value of any proceeds from its litigation with SIGA Technologies, Inc"
In connection with the realignment plan, PharmAthene plans to reduce its staffing levels by approximately two thirds. Eric Richman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will remain a member of the Board of Directors, but will no longer serve as an Officer of the Company after March 11, 2015. He will continue to play a key role in managing the ongoing litigation, other legal matters and strategic transactions in his role as Director. Linda Chang will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer through April 30, 2015. In accordance with meeting cost-saving objectives, the Board will be reduced from eight members to six and Messrs. Joel McCleary and Brian A. Markison intend to resign from the Board.
Do Siga Slime Lawyers or their family and friends ever buy/short shares in these cases? Probably not enough money in it for them to waste time or liabilities.
Yo T,
Just saw a level II trade of 3 shares for $1.73. Somebody is playing.
(3) shares, that is what I call a small shareholder
Wall Street "seems" to believe the Delaware Chancery will allow this lawyered up $$$ strategy to go on to 2025, blah, blah, blah. I'm thinking the Chancery will end this before 2025. Maybe after Pharmathene releases a depressing 10K there will be one more nice dip to pick up shares?
GLTA, small shareholders.

Hydra, Poros and Egina Day Cruise from Athens
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Hydra, Poros and Egina Day Cruise from Athens. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Wonderful way to see 3 beautiful Greek islands close to Athens each with unique beauty and attractions. Hydra was completely picturesque with its cobblestone streets and "donkeys" public transport option...no cars allowed on the island.... Aegina offered option to see Temple of Athena Aphaia built in 480 BC which is one of the holy triangle of temples of ancient Greece including Poseidon's temple in Sounio and the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens. Aegina add on also brings you to the fantastic Cathedral/monastery of Saint Nektarios aside from seeing the wonderful countryside of olive, pistachio and orange farms along the way. Large ferry takes about 3-4 hrs to the first island Hydra which is in one word BEAUTIFUL, then shorter trips to the other two (Poros and Aegina) after that. In each island, you will have about 1-1.5 hrs to explore except for Aegina, the largest of the 3 wherein you can spend more time and add on the side trip to the temple and monastery. The buffet lunch on board the ship was excellent with a wide selection of food and drinks-- and later in the trip, Greek dancers in traditional garbs would entertain with audience participation. Overall a great way to spend a full day getting a glimpse of some of the beautiful Mediterranean islands of Greece each with their own unique attractions. Highly recommended!
Lovely way to see 3 islands, favourite island Hydra, good food on boat, entertainment on way back
Great way to see the these three islands. Staff is friendly and entertaining!
Amazing what you can fit in a day - thanks, it was great.
What a wonderful way to spend a day out of Athens !
This was a wonderful tour! The cruise ship was spacious and the staff very attentive and friendly. Due to the many different groups traveling, all instructions were provided in multiple languages which was very nice. You were even able to set up a tour for the last island (Aegina) while on the ship. The islands were breathtakingly beautiful!! Upon arrival, Hydra was probably the most beautiful, but Aegina had amazing panaromic views (from the tour bus). Poros was quiet and so very very pretty. This was my favorite tour during my stay in Greece!
One small issue: Upon return, we had to wait about 40 mins for our bus driver to appear. Our poor guide was so flustered, I felt horrible for her. But even with that, I'd still recommend this tour to anyone going to Athens. It was amazing!!
We enjoyed the whole trip. It was fun and we met nice people. Entertainment on boat good with lots of Greek culture and dancing. Value for money.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially the excellent lunch served in nice dining area with white table cloths, silver and glassware. We felt that the cruise was value for the money and would recommend it very much.
Excellent adventure. I would strongly suggest than anyone visiting Athens enjoy this cruise in the middle of all the city tours.
This tour was wonderful! If you don't have time to visit the islands for many days, this is the way to go. The ship we traveled on was fun. The crew members were hospitable and the entertainment was festive. The islands were beautiful! We especially loved Hydra. We spent our time there swimming in the beautiful water. We got to spend anywhere from 40 minutes at Poros to about 1 1/2 hours at Hydra.
Jose C Rodriguez
My wife and I enjoyed this tour very much. Everyone on the ship was very friendly and the islands visited give you a sense of what the other greek islands would be like.
Wonderful tour. A lot of time was spent on the water. I loved that part - it was a nice change from all the walking we had been doing for days. My husband was a little board but we had a deck of cards with us and passed they time on the boat playing rummy. The employees on the ship were very nice. Lunch was amazing. The three islands were all beautiful. We loved our entire trip to Athens, everyone was so nice and welcoming!
Fantastic day of relaxation and visiting some lovely Islands. Hydra and Poros are fantastic. Egina is OK, but doesn't have a lot to offer. The cruise is excellent. The day we went there were not to many people so we could take our pick of where we sat whether it be the top deck, the middle deck or the deck where they serve lunch. We spent the day on the top deck and saw dolphins chasing the boat and at the end of the day flocks of seagulls following the wake of the boat to catch any fish brought to the surface. Hydra was our favourite Island. Loved the setting and the shops. Poros was good too. The organisation of the whole trip was perfect from hotel pickup to the buses waiting at the end of the day to transfer us back to our hotel. We highly recommend this trip, it was one of the nicest days we have had.
Very good! Very friendly staff!
Cruise was awesome. Islands, especially Hydra is absolutely gorgeous.

Gas Prices
Gas Prices Are Rising…..Why?
Metro Holiday Gas Stations Experiment With E85 Pricing
BLOOMINGTON (WCCO) — If you drive a flex-fuel vehicle, at what price point will you pull in and fill up with E85? That's what Holiday is trying to determine at select gas stations across the […]
Moneyanswers Finance Expert Jordan Goodman
Jordan Goodman from Moneyanswers.com made his monthly visit to the WCCO Morning News with Dave Lee.
Good Question: Why Do Gas Prices Fluctuate So Wildly?
The first two months of 2013 have not been much fun at the gasoline pump. Prices keep rising, changing all the time.
Rising Gas Prices Not Affecting Local Car Buying Habits
As of Thursday morning the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gas is $3.82 in the Twin Cities. That's 60 cents higher than a month ago.
Jumps In Gas Prices A Challenge For Small Stations, Too
Gas is now selling for about $3.76 a gallon in the Twin Cities, and motorists aren't the only ones complaining about big jumps in prices. Independent gas stations are also feeling the squeeze.
The Reasons Behind Gas Spike In Minnesota
The average price of gas in the Twin Cities is around $3.45 per gallon, which is nearly 40 cents higher than it was a month ago. So, why did prices jump so high so quickly?
Why Are Gas Prices Going Up?
If you drive a car, you've noticed a 30 cent jump in gas prices in recent weeks. But why? The reasons are many, according to the experts.
Happy New Year: 2013 Kicks Off With Lower Gas Prices
Consider it a gift that's coming in a little late: the lowest gas prices we've seen in nearly two years.
Expert: Gas Prices Should Stay Low In Early 2013
It's been a nice holiday present to have gas prices dip below $3 a gallon, but what will happen in the new year?
Opinion: We Must Fix Our Crumbling Infrastructure
Most Americans who traveled during this Thanksgiving holiday came face to face with an American reality: while there is much to be thankful for, our infrastructure is not one of those things.
Good Question: Are Gas Prices Dropping Because Of The Election?
Remember a month ago when people were wondering if voters would take out their frustration with high gas prices on the president?
Gas Prices Finally Start To Fall Nationwide
Cindy Schnaith is practically giddy when gassing up these days. It wasn't more than a month ago that filling up her sport utility vehicle cost her nearly $80 per tankful.
CBS Local Presidential Forum: Obama/Romney: Duke It Out Over Energy And Health Care
The two presidential candidates were asked a question by CBS Local about Obamacare vs. Romneycare and asked them to talk about the similarities or differences between the two plans.
CBS Local Presidential Forum Obama/Romney: Square Off Over Education and Energy
Today on the CBS Local forum, Romney and Obama were asked: What will you do to make the U.S. more energy independent?
Opinion: Gas Prices Are The Government and Obama's Fault
Americans continually hear that the president of the United States can do nothing about gas prices. John Hofmeister says that isn't true. The doubled gas prices could have been avoided but no one in a political position who can do anything about the prices wants to do anything.
Gas Prices Still Around $4 A Gallon After Labor Day
Gas prices usually drop after Labor Day, but some Twin Cities drivers have been paying around $4 per gallon this week for regular unleaded fuel.
High Gas Prices Sneak Up On Twin Cities Drivers
If you're filling up today be warned: it's gonna hurt. Twin Cities gas prices rose 10 cents overnight, to an average of $3.89 for a gallon of regular.
Drivers Brace For Nightmarish Labor Day Traffic
It's the start of a holiday weekend. And for anyone driving north, especially on I-35, it could be tough going. As if slow-to-still traffic wasn't bad enough, Hannah Andersen found herself stranded on 35 North. And it was a true holiday weekend driving nightmare.
CBS News Business Reporter Rebecca Jarvis Talks Gas Prices
CBS News business reporter and Minneapolis native Rebecca Jarvis joined Dave Lee on the WCCO Morning News
CBS Business Reporter Rebecca Jarvis On The Morning News With Dave Lee
CBS News business reporter Rebecca Jarvis paid a visit to the WCCO Morning News with Dave Lee on Thursday.
Opinion: Obama's Approval Rating Drops To 43% For Good Reason
Five months before the presidential election, this rating is disastrous for Obama – almost as disastrous as the lack of any results for America these past four years.
Good Question: Why Are Gas Prices Rising When Oil Is Falling?
Even veterans of the local gas business admit — something strange is going on. The price of crude oil is as low as it's been since October 2011.
Gas Prices Not Bad Compared To Last Year
Remember analyst predictions that we could be paying $5 per gallon of gasoline this summer? Thankfully, that scenario hasn't come to pass. Gas prices have been falling over the past few weeks. But why?
Gas Prices On The Way Down
Gas prices are finally falling. They just dropped for the third day in a row. Nationwide, the average for a gallon of regular grade is down to $3.86.

San Antonio Plant Swap
Here are the pics from the swap today. There were not very many there and I only took 5 pics. I'm not in any of them.
We enjoyed it and plan to attend another.
now here are the pics.
Here is a link to my photobucket feel free to brouse around.
Kathy -- I have already tagged your Yellow Iris.
Prince Albert, it was great meet you and your wife! Thank you for taking pictures. I loved touring your garden and seeing the beautiful plants on your Photobucket site.
Yes, we expected and had a small turn out today. A lot of people just didn't have time to get plants going due to the cold winter and late spring. The pavilion has to be reserved months in advance so there was no changing the day.
I guess there were about twelve people there, but the small group gave us a chance to visit and yakkity yak more. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but missed the other people that usually come and couldn't this time. Hoping to see you ALL mid October. Date to be announced.
I've already got some in my things planted -- including the brugs! Can't wait to get out there tomorrow and get the rest going. Thank you everyone for all the neat plants, seeds, soil mixes and yourselves! :-)
Thanks for the pictures! My camera was right on the counter where I left it. haha
I am so glad y'all came to join us. Yes, it is fun to put names and faces together.
I some how got away without getting a cutting of the white brug.
As Roselee said, there usually more people.
Well, I'm all tuckered out, been doing stuff outside! All you guys...it was great. So warm yesterday, so nice to see y'all. And thanks for the plants. roselee, I've got the fig cuttings all set up to root...hopefully I can get some going, got them all labelled so I won't forget the name later...Uncle Nap's Honey Figs.
We could meet you when we go to Beeville the next time to get them to you. we usualy get off in San Marcus and go down 123 to Seguin then on down to Beeville. It would not be out of the way to go through SA then go down 37 toward CC. That's the way my dumb GPS wants to go anyway.
Let me know and we will make it happen.
Thanks for the pictures pa. It was great to meet you both. Thanks for the seeds and the white brug.
Been outside for two days preparing and planting the swap plants. Today is rainy so it's an inside day for research on the best way to plant seeds.
WAAH! WAAH! snif some more crying I was planing on going to the swap but family comes first specially if it happens last minute and I am such a chicken could not bare to go off and worry all the way there and all the way back, but any way prehaps next time.Yes it is nice to be able to put faces to names plus all the goodies you get to see and get its worth the trip. Now who is who on those pictures?Marcie
Well Marcie asked who they are. So here goes with the help of the Boss Lady.
pic-1= Roselee (Ragna) and Castro Gardener (patty).
pic-2 = Plantmaven (Kathy).
pic-3 = phoenix7801 (Joey), Roselee, Sheila and princealbert's boss (Betty).
pic-4= Rock-Oak-Deer (Shirley),Joey, and Merryberry (Merideth).

Welcome to the profile, lasted updated on December 1, 2013. I have been a member of fanfiction.net for over ten years - amazing! I write for a variety of fandoms, and I also have my own original work that occasionally takes precedence over my fanfiction. I prefer writing longer stories, but I am trying to branch out into the occasional one-shot. Most of my stuff does tend to have a happy ending - what can I say, I'm a huge sucker for love and romance, and while my characters might suffer a lot, everyone (usually) gets their just desserts in the end. There aren't many pairings that I won't read, and it's pretty hard to squick me out. I adore reviews, whether constructive or not, but I don't pay much attention to flames. I'm sorry if something in my work disturbs you, but you know what? It's really easy to just not read it. However, if you do enjoy my work, I hope you're willing to let me know!
For all those who are curious about my updating schedule, I always try to update once a week, on Friday afternoon. My schedule doesn't really allow me to update more than once a week. You get shorter chapters so that I can do this; please keep in mind that I have over half a dozen stories on the go at once that all have to be updated. You can always check my profile for additional information; if I ever have to miss an update, I'll try to post here to let you know what's going on.

Carpe Diem Hostel/B&B Brindisi Italy.
Maurizio has completed online and offline ID verification.
Learn more »
The place is a real youth hostel near Airport Brindisi, nothing to see with a B&B. The only difference is that there is no public kitchen. Stay there if you want to catch early plane.
On arrival, they ask for passport and ID card and register each of us in their computer. It smells, as 2 big dogs lay on the ground and in the sofa at the Reception. Concerning the dormitory, no key is provided and the blankets are dusty. In the toilette, no toilette paper provided. Remember to ask the Reception before you use toilette.
a very pleasant night in this youth hostel. Thanks Maurizio
We stayed just one night at the hostel, this was a nice place if a little empty at the time (we came out of season). We were a little confused during checkin because we didn't understand that we had only be charged for a dorm. They gave us an upgrade for some more money, so if you are interested in staying here, it might be good to clarify how much it will cost you all up for the room you want.
Because we were here for such a short time we did not spend much time in the hostel itself, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was mainly clean. They were well located and easy to get to by buses from all the main areas.
Nice people. 20min walk to Brindisi airport. Bed could be comfier
Nice, clea friendly person. Would definitelly host again.
Maurizio is a very welcoming host. His team was also young, very friendly and helpful. I met some nice people while staying at Maurizio's! I would definitely suggest this host, if you want to stay a night in Brindisi!

Two Saline County residents were bitten by a Little Rock police K-9 officer on Monday after the dog escaped from his enclosure. One of the victims was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
The Little Rock Police Department said the dog, Ammo, who had been with the department for three years, escaped from his pen, jumped a 6-foot privacy fence and then went across the street where he bit two neighbors, Trent Holloway, 35, and Beth Norman, 73.
Tylor Wright, 18, of Benton was killed in a one-vehicle accident Monday morning on Midland Road in Bryant when the vehicle he was traveling in hit a tree.
Wright died at the scene, authorities said.
Saline County Sheriff's Deputy Matt Green was dispatched to the accident site around 2:13 a.m.
According to a report from the Saline County Sheriff's Office, witness Austin Hanig, 18, of Bryant had been riding in the bed of the 2002 white Ford F-150 moments before the accident occurred.
Wow, what a week. Sure, there was a lot of driving, but my dad, brother and I went on the trip of a lifetime this past week. Planned a year ago, my dad suggested we go see the baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which was held last Sunday in Cooperstown, N.Y. I knew Greg Maddux with his 355 wins, Tom Glavine with his 305 wins, and Frank Thomas with his 521 home runs and over 1,700 RBI would all be first-ballot hall-of-famers, but we all got a treat when three more were added to the induction.

Opinions on Grazia Rixi Crema BS AND crackle vs. glossy
I love the thought and look of neutral subway/brick ceramic tiles paired with granite. I am going for a cleaner and brighter look, and due to circumstances where a travertine backsplash turned pink on me, I am trying my best to make that happen.
Taken from a model home, this is the look that I am veering for although with a more subdued creme vs. the start white in this tile.
I am unsure of the hard and fast rules of whether or not the exact color of the tile HAS to be plentiful in the granite or if it compliments the granite that would be OK as well. My granite has a lot of gold in it with some flecks of creme/ivory throughout, but there are a few areas where there is none.
Due to the many fabulous suggestions of members here, I was able to find a tile that I really like. It's by Grazia, the style is Rixi and the color is Crema. It is ceramic with a crackle finish.
Do you think it blends well with my granite and/or do you see any glaringly obvious reasons why I shouldn't choose this for my kitchen?
I also like the tile because it has the crackle in it. However I am needing opinions on whether or not crackle seems to be a classic or will I tire of it? Is a glossy tile without crackle in the same exact shade a safer bet?
Thanks! (more photos at link)
These first two photos are very true to my granite color and the tile color.
Here is up on the wall. I am not sure if it's because of the poster board I put up to cancel out the other backsplash or just my iphone, but the granite in real life is NOT this yellow.
In a shadowed part of my kitchen where the existing travertine shows up the most pink.
Here is a link that might be useful: Grazia Rixi Crema
I just mentioned on another thread last night that I had used crackle tile in my previous home when I redid that kitchen about 15 years ago. Since it was available that long ago and is often recommended and used by GWers at this time, I think it's safe to say it is not a new trendy look. I did not get tired of it for the 5 years I lived in that home after installing it. I think your new color choice is much better than the travertine that looked pinkish.
Sorry you have to go through the hassle and expense of changing out your backsplash but its the right thing to do if the other one bothers you so much.
Hi newbie! It is uderstandable that you are having second thoughts. After making one "mistake" you don't want to make another.
Only you can judge how the color goes with your granite. It comes up differently on all of our monitors. And, as you see, your granite seems to photograph differently too.
Here's how I see it. Looking at the model kitchen with the white tiles, it is not what I would choose, but it looks OK. The Rixi WILL look better than that!
When I was redoing my tiles, I was looking for something basic, nothing that would make a statement because my granite could do all the talking! I wanted people to come into my kitchen, look around, say its nice and MOVE on. No discussion about tile, granite etc. That is what I acheived with the Rixi tile.
The crackle gives a bit more dimension but is very subtle. You have to move in close to see those crackle lines.
Live with it for a few more days. Invite some of your friends who you trust to be honest and let them weigh in on this tile.
You might want to keep looking. I went to every tile store and completed the circle back at the first one for this tile!
The advise I was given by one very wise tile sales woman who realized how upset I was said, "At a certain point you need to make peace with this." Simple, but true.
I started out not wanting crackle tile. Most crackle is very obvious but the Rixi is subtle. Put a few in the kitchen and keep going back multiple times to see if it talks to you and becomes your friend.
I really wanted JC, Heath or motawi tile but could not make friends with any of them. (After ruling out back painted glass). I just loved the Heath but a no go on the colors and was too embarrassed to ask for crackle after stating - no crackle and then went with Rixi!
Let us know your decision. Hang in there!
badgergal - thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. The crackle tile is beautiful and does give it a big more dimension that a glossy tile would offer.
ellendi - You are very practical and wise. :) You worded it so perfectly, I don't want a bunch of ooh's and aahh's, I just want an overall nice look and leave it at that. I don't want to take the spotlight away from my granite. I do want a brighter look than what I have now and I am pretty confident the Rixi offers everything I am envisioning. I do need to make peace with this as I am sure you know, it's on my mind 25 hours a day. I have a tile guy coming today to give me a quote! YAY!!
Design question for you - when using all the brick/subway shape, is it a no-no to incorporate a pencil rail in the exact same color to add dimension or is it not necessary and possibly a bad idea? I am afraid all the worrying and anxiousness has clouded my ability to think objectively. ;-/
Do you have a pic of just granite head on?
a2gemini - I think you picked the best of the bunch! Do you also have a close up of just your granite available?
I would love to see the different granites that the Crema goes with.
I have Sonoma Tile in cream crackle. You have to get in very close to really see that they are crackled. The up-close camera shots make crackle look kinda stupid, but in reality, its effect is very subtle and lends a simple, je ne sais quoi quality.
Welllllll.... Tile guy with over 35 years of experience just left. I showed him the tile and didn't elaborate. The nagging feeling in the back of my mind about the Rixi Crema in my space was confirmed. He didn't feel it was an 'ideal' match and was afraid that I may end up with another mistake on my hands. He was very sweet and went over all the variables in the logistics of my kitchen that could be effecting the overall look - window placement, the color of the house behind us that is close enough to possibly cast a color cast into the kitchen, lighting placment, etc. He didn't want the outcome to make one look at it and ask, why did they choose that tile?
While I am thankful that I now have an 'in real life' opinion, and the Rixi in Crema is not for certain nixed, I am indeed a bit bummed.
So sorry. This is exactly why this is so hard. You are the only one that can really see the color variations. Your tile guy seemed very knowledgable. I am wondering what he would recommend for your kitchen?
Can you please tell me 9I am sure you did post this) what your granite is?
He agreed that a simple subway would be a great idea in there. He wasn't 100% sure on color but thought possibly an off white vs. cream. He just couldn't shake the feeling that something just wasn't right about the Crema. He agreed to meet at the tile store later this week to review options and then look again in the house once a few more selections are made.
ellendi - sorry I forgot last post. My granite is Juparana Persa aka Golden Beach(es).
From Artisan-counters.com
"Description: Juparana Persa a luxurious, new, golden-colored exotic from Brazil. It is a very versatile stone that is full of swirling veins with a sandy and dark grey veining sweeping through its surface."
By off-white did he mean lighter than cream? If anything, from the photos it looks to me that something a little darker than the crema might blend better with your granite. (I agree with you that the white backsplash in your first photo looks stark and wouldn't look good in your kitchen.) Hope you can find a tile you're really happy with!
I did some research and found many variations of your granite. In your photos, the Rixi looks like it could go, but I have to believe your tile guy as he is there in person.
I agree with julet in that it might pay to look into a darker tile. I am even thinking glass tiles.Have you considered glass already?
When you look at your granite overall, what colors do you see? Amber, honey, gold/brown?
You do want to try to get the backsplash to relate to a color in the granite.
I so wish that so could meet up with someone here who is also local to my area!
I have looked at several glass tiles. The issue I found is they would turn green once they are propped vertically on the wall. The green tone inherent in the glass takes over any cream or gold that the tile has in it.
I am going to go back and look I think on Thursday. I found another tile place today that has actual designers on staff to help choose materials. That sounds promising as well. There are so many different shades in the granite and it's so varied it's very difficult to pick an actual color to focus on and high light. There are grey streaks and veins also but I am too color challenged to ponder if that would even be an option. For the most part it's a warm granite.
ellendi - I agree. There are times when I think the Rixi Crema blends very well with my granite. On the other hand there are times when I am unsure. I do know that I don't see a hint of pink in it at all at any time. I am pondering purchasing a couple of square feet (is this possible?) and making a sample board to better determine how it shows in my kitchen.
The color that stands out the most, although difficult to choose, I think is the gold. I'm not at home right now so I may have to re-evaluate in the morning. :)
The tricky part in all of this is how it looks in your kitchen. As you saw with the Rixi, even the salesperson thought it matched in the showroom.
As your tile guy told you, there are many variables that come into place in your kitchen.
Have you seen Horus Art? Anne Sacks? Jeffrey Court?
How about starting a separate thread with your granite in the title. Maybe people with similar granites will come forward.
I googled your granite and it seems to be paired with light beige backsplashes. So another difficult point is the variation between the slabs.
You'll get there.
Thank you everyone! I have been reading but due to limited computer access for the past couple days I haven't been able to do much else. I am going to the new tile store today so hopefully I can report back with some good news about options.
Keep good thoughts for me - my fingers and toes will be crossed!
Hello Friends,
I went to two tile stores yesterday. The first one, which I had high hopes for was a failure. I came home with two tiles, both by Sonoma's Stellar series, Toast and Krazy Krackle. Krazy Krackle showed up almost a neon white/pale yellow and Toast was a tinge too orange. The other tile store was so sweet. They are where I have been getting most of my samples from. I came home with SIXTEEN sample tiles. Yes, 16! I brought home every cream tile that we thought might have the possibility of matching my granite as well as some greys and even two black tiles. Hey, I was desperate!
I was depressed. I was teary eyed. None of the new colors worked. So I put them away for a while and did something else for a while. Then I remembered, one of the sample boards I brought home was from Adex in Sand was still in my car. I had brought it home just to see as the lady in the store said it did veer on the pink side (in real life she is correct - evvvvver so slightly there is hint of a pinky undertone in certain lighting but I had brought it home a month or so ago and it's what first got me on the thought of a crackle subway so I took the chance again) HOWEVER when I put this BIG board up against my granite vs. the just the smaller tiles flanked by existing icky backsplash, it showed me something! Having a light tile makes the light areas in my granite POP like they are popcorn!
ADEX tile:
Can a light cream ceramic subway work for me after all?!?
So I dug out the samples of Rixi Crema and propped them against the Adex in Sand. Definite difference, the Rixi is creamier and warmer. Both in the daytime and at night. So I am just not 100% convinced that the tile guy was correct. Am I crazy? Probably...but I can't shake the feeling that this tile just might be a contender.
I spent some time today retaking pictures of the Crema in various areas of my kitchen, different shading. lights, etc. I blocked out the backsplash with an extra cabinet door so it didn't interfere. I also took a picture of it with SW Kilim Beige which is supposed to be a warm beige. The Crema Rixi is similar in shade value (??) and to me, up against the paint, the tile looks even warmer.
What do you guys think? Ignore the accent tile in the pic - I was just playing. More pics at the link, please, please check them out!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Updated Grazia Rixi in Gardenwebnewbie's kitchen
I think a good glass of wine will help you tonight. You hit it on the nail - warm fuzzies!
I realized that was the reason we went with the crema.
But just to throw in a wrench- did you look at any Jeffrey Court series?
Their crema is darker but there were some close contenders.
I can say for sure - no pink in Rixi crema!
When I read your post saying that the tile guy didn't like the Grazia Crema I wanted to reply, " What does he know. Just because he can lay tile doesn't mean he is a color expert". Most men aren't, IMHO but I kept my thoughts to my self. Now that you have added to the post here I felt like I could say what I thought.
When you first showed the Grazia Crema tiles I liked how they looked with your granite and seeing more pictures in your link confirms that the color is good. It doesn't seem off to me and definitely doesn't skew pink.
Have you had any friends or neighbors come look at them in your house to see what they think.
I can see why you are being cautious so if you could do a sample board with the tiles grouted that might help. Good luck in your decision.
I just found these on google. I think the colors that used in the pics that are similar to the Crema look nice with granite (same as mine - Juparana Persa) and gives a similar look to how the subway tile in Crema may mingle with my granite.
a2gemini - A glass of wine may just be in order this evening! ;)
I did look at some Jeffrey Court tiles but they had names like Tipperary, etc., I didn't see a crema...? What series was it in? Do you know how JC compares cost wise to Grazia? Lower cost, of course, would be ideal! The Jeffrey Court tiles I did look at, while they were darker than any Crema would be, did vary quite a bit from tile to tile even in the same color. That worried me. I do need some bullnose pieces (not separate end pieces, preferably a particular whole tile but with a bullnose edge) so I am wondering which line would be better for that purpose.
badgergal - SO TRUE! My husband asks me on a regular basis, does this shirt match these pants? He isn't colorblind by any means, and sometimes it seems so obvious that it does or doesn't match...but I bite my tongue and help him out. I think part of the reason that I took the tile guys opinion to heart was because we were looking at the tile in one particular area of my kitchen - and this area was in the direct sun coming through a tinted window. It's a high quality tint but one on the darker scale due to the direct sunlight/heat I get in my house. That alone could have been skewing that area where we were looking. I don't think there is going to be any tile that is going to 100% spot on color wise in every single area no matter what the tile or material or location. I think an overall great color will be the answer to the equation. With an overall good look, no one, hopefully not even me, will point at one particular area that may have a negligible shade change and goes "OH MY GOODNESS!! Your tile doesn't match. LOL
A good friend of mine is very good with decorating and her mom has her own interior design business. She has been bugging me to come by and see what I have so far - hopefully we can set a time up by the end of next week.
I have been hesitating because she swears that the existing travertine tile can be remedied with paint color and I just don't want to go there. Now that I have something concrete in mind, I feel more comfortable.
Hi, thanks for checking back! :-)
After months of searching to find a tile to match my very golden toned granite, we decided to swap the granite out for a beautiful Santa Cecelia Classic granite and a matching six inch backsplash.
It was a looong and stressful road - with a lot of tears. While I don't necessarily advocate what we did, in our case no stone was left unturned. We haven't looked back once since!

Nassau DA: Burned Home Had Dog Treadmills, Syringes, Supplements
FREEPORT, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Authorities found syringes, medications and supplements for dogs, dog treadmills and a female dog restraint for breeding inside a Long Island home that caught fire Friday, prosecutors said Sunday.
The Nassau County district attorney's office made the revelations in a series of tweets Sunday afternoon.
Anthony Reddick is facing 18 counts of felony and misdemeanor animal-fighting charges after 13 dead pit bulls were found in his one-car garage in Freeport that went up in flames.
Three other pit bulls were found alive, police said.
Reddick fled the scene when the fire broke out, but was arrested Saturday afternoon, a spokesman for the DA's office said.
"Breeding & training animals to fight for their lives in violent contests… is cruel & should be stopped wherever it's found," District Attorney Kathleen Rice said on Twitter. "The laws covering animal fighting need reform but my office will work with whatever legal tools we have available."

Where there's smoke
The controversy over anti-smoking warnings resurfaces with the 'Blue Jasmine' kerfuffle.
Woody Allen films tend to have plenty of distractions, ranging from the neurotic tics of his characters to the propensity of the man himself to pop up onscreen. But the auteur has taken exception to an Indian law that mandates the screening of a health ministry short depicting graphically the horrors of smoking before a film that contains smoking scenes, deeming such warnings to be far too distracting. Blue Jasmine, hailed as one of Allen's best, will therefore not be released in Indian theatres.
Allen would probably have dismissed while no doubt blowing out curls of smoke the very notion of releasing his film here had the 2005 rules, banning smoking scenes in new films, still been in effect. The Delhi High Court struck down the ban in 2009, but the Centre appealed. Finally, it introduced new rules in September last year, which were contested by UTV on the basis that displaying a warning each time the titular Heroine lit up would distract from the film.
But there is evidence to suggest that such warnings work to educate smokers about health risks. A 2006 study of cigarette packet warnings in the US, UK, Canada and Australia published in the British Medical Journal found that graphic, larger and more comprehensive warnings are more effective in communicating health risks. Yet there is also merit in the contention that the insertion of material into a film tampers with the artistic vision of the filmmaker and could slide into censorship. This public health versus art battle seems set to run on unlike Blue Jasmine in India.

I went out in the greenhouse thinking that maybe you had sent me one but that was the King's Ransom I was thinking about. I looked through all the cuttings you sent me (all 100 of them lol) and if there is one out there, I didn't see it. Some are not marked though. I'll keep a look out though and let you know if I find one. And as always, you are welcome to come down and look at the unmarked ones to see if you see one. You need to visit your babies in the greenhouse anyway. They miss you!
