Chinese government may be behind Anthem hack that exposed data of up to 80 million people February 6, 2015 at 4:19 pm
The massive Anthem hack yesterday has been tentatively identified as a Chinese operation according to investigators. The attack was likely motivated by something other than a pure profit motive, but may have exposed details on up to 80 million people.

North Korea kicked off the internet by giant DDoS: Was it the USA, or someone else? December 23, 2014 at 8:28 am
Yesterday evening, North Korea was unceremoniously knocked off the internet by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. This comes shortly after the US government promised a 'proportional response' to the Sony Pictures hack, which the FBI believes was carried out by North Korea. While it would be rather funny if the US government was responsible for taking North Korea off the internet, it's more likely to be the actions of some disgruntled hacktivists such as Anonymous or Lizard Squad.

Obama becomes the first US president to write a computer program December 9, 2014 at 1:41 pm
President Barack Obama, to kick off the annual Computer Science Education Week, has become the first US president (at least as far as we know) to write a computer program. While this might not seem like a big deal, this will be seen as a glowing endorsement for the code literacy movement — a campaign that, for the last couple of years, has been extolling the virtues of teaching kids how to program.

Russia now has an 'inspector satellite' that could chase down or destroy other orbiting spacecraft November 18, 2014 at 1:34 pm
According to Earth's dedicated team of satellite observers, Russia is developing a satellite that can chase down other satellites. Obviously, such an ability could be used for the forces of good, such as repairing or refueling other spacecraft — but the rest of the world is worried that Russia might be looking to blow up other satellites, or to get close enough that it can take photos of classified designs or eavesdrop on communications.
Our terrifying reliance on GPS, and the need to develop a ground-based alternative November 7, 2014 at 2:16 pm
The Global Positioning System, or GPS, has — somewhat surprisingly — found itself at the heart of modern civilization. There is no doubt that the ubiquity of GPS across all areas of civilian, commercial, and scientific endeavor has improved the quality of life for billions of people.

Even more remarkably, WireLurker is surprisingly virulent, possibly already infecting hundreds of thousands of iOS and OS X users. While OS X malware isn't that rare, it's almost unheard of for iOS to be susceptible to such attacks — and no, even if your device isn't jailbroken, you can still be infected.

Owner says horse assaulted: Man offers reward for arrest in case
A horse on a farm east of Dickinson was recovering Friday from an apparent sexual assault, an illegal act ranchers suggest happens all too often in this area but rarely gets reported.
When Rex Cook saw his son-in-law's horse Jan. 17, he knew something was wrong with her. He phoned the Stark County Sheriff's Office which responded.

I ordered one bundle of the dry erase boards. The bundle comes in packages of 4. I was sent a single board. So I called. The customer service people were nice and said they would send out the bundle. I received a single board in the mail. This happened THREE times. I have three boards out of the four, and a headache. Cut your losses because apparently, 1 and 4 are the number.

We've determined that the pump will drain a small (test) load, thought we had the problem fixed--cleaned out a bunch of debris from the pump-- then put in a full load, and of course it no longer pumped the water out. Why would the pump drain the water on a small load and not on a full load? The lid switch seems to be working, at least enough to stop the agitator when we open the lid. Once the water is drained, the washer will spin. Any thoughts? Are we barking up the wrong tree thinking that the pump is dying? We're not very electrical in nature- better with mechanical stuff. We do have a multimeter but I honestly don't understand how to use it.

Cold mornings next week?
Hi everyone,
It's looking pretty likely that we're going to have 2 or 3 cold mornings early next week. I wouldn't be shocked if the northern half of Oklahoma saw temps at or below freezing at least one morning. The European, Canadian, and UK global models all show this. The GFS from the U.S. hasn't totally bought into it, but is trending that way.
This is just a heads up to have a plan in place and keep an eye on the forecast as we get toward the weekend.
Thanks Lee! I've been watching the forecasts. For my area next Monday night is a forecast low of 36. That's of real importance to my onions. I can't do much with the wild plum thicket. It is what it is. I also monitor a couple of weather peeps on FB - but I always come back here to see what "say you?".
This is all I need to know. Again, thank you!
Thanks, Lee. I have been watching the Monday night (and beyond) forecast low temps and reining in my desire to get more planting done because those cold mornings are lurking out there in next week's forecast.
Like Paula, I've been waiting "to see what Lee says". Now that you've said it, I'll start revising my plans to go crazy putting plants in the ground beginning tomorrow. I am determined not to put anything else in the ground that would need to be covered up.
Paula, We're looking at an overnight low almost the same as yours next Monday---37.
As for the plums, native or otherwise, my trees have frozen or been frosted so many times since they bloomed that they should be producing popsicles at this point.
I didn't plant my tomatoes over the weekend because of this. Our local morning guy said in his morning blog starting last Friday that the Euro model had some really cold temps coming early next week but the American model didn't. It's good to hear that the other two models agree with the Euro, because those all appear to be more accurate that the American the majority of the time. Unfortunately the American is the only one I have a good webpage for that shows the detailed precip forecast.
Thank you for those details Lee. A lot of us get early hints about 7-10 day weather but we have no good source to tell us when things change or become more concrete. We only can look at the 7 or 8-day forecast on the local tv website, or read the meteorologists' blogs, and they are hit and miss.
Anyone know why the American model is less accurate than the Euro in most situations?
Paula....don't be surprised if that forecast goes down a couple more degrees. The latest run of the GFS is actually colder than the European model now.
Mike.....I'm in Tulsa, too, and I was going to plant out on Sunday. I'm going to keep mine in the greenhouse (overnight) until at least Wednesday now.
Scott......if you haven't seen this link, it's an interesting read. It's over a year old now, but still valid. "Flaws in US Model" I know that NOAA is supposedly sinking a ton of money into the GFS, so by 2015 it shouldn't have less computing power. We'll see.
Dawn......as I'm sure you know, your microclimate means that forecast of 37 for you is likely too optimistic. Looking at the latest runs of the Euro and the GFS, the Euro places the core of the high pressure right on top of you. The GFS places it over NE Oklahoma. Wherever it ends up, ideal radiational cooling conditions will occur Tuesday morning.
For what it's worth, the GFS brings in another shot of air just as cold 3-4 days later. The Euro does not show this. I'm going to believe the Euro, for now. We'll see how it evolves over the next couple of days.
Lee, Thanks so much for coming back to address everyone's individual concerns and to update us on the situation. I hope you know how much everyone here appreciates you.
I'm ready for next week so tell that high pressure ridge to just come here and park itself right over my house and give us its best shot. My best row cover gives 10 degrees of protection, so I am not going to freak out unless we start talking about lows in the low to mid-20s.
Before next week's weather started looking uncomfortably cold, I was going to start putting the rest of my tomato plants into the ground today, and was going to sow bean and corn seed. All those plans are on hold for sure.
Y'all, remember that even if your forecast is only going into the mid- to upper-30s, frost can form at temperatures above 32 degrees under certain conditions. I have it often here when the air temp is 36 or 37, occasionally at 38 degrees, and once in a blue moon it even can happen at 39 degrees. Frost at those temperatures is one of the hardest lessons I learned about gardening in OK.
Our forecast for last night was 43, and at our house it went to 38 and at the mesonet station they hit 35. Our local TV mets usually hit our forecast low much more closely than the NWS Point forecast does. They said we'd go to 37.
FYI, at our farm, about 25% of pecan trees are at budbreak, 25% are close, and 50% still need a few days. It got down to 32 there last night, but the next few nights will push the trees. I think 50% would not be damaged at all even if it got down to 26. The other 50% will suffer some in the 26-30 range.
I'm probably the only one really interested, but as Dawn has mentioned in previous springs, you can tell which trees are pecan when you drive down the road in early April because they are the ones that still appear dormant when all the other trees have green at different stages.
Hopefully everyone that already planted made it through this one mostly unscathed.
I looked today at a few model forecasts for the next few weeks, and I don't see anything upcoming near this cold. There may be a decent cold snap in the May 10 range, but by then anything considered cold would only be 40's. I'm going to plant out my tomatoes on Saturday.
Is it worse for the person to be executed to have a long notice of the exact day so that he/she can worry about it, or is it worse not knowing until right before the execution.
I'd probably complain either way. Thanks for the heads up regardless.
22 degrees, #%&@*!
Scott, Are you serious? 22? How many hours did y'all stay that cold?
Lee, When you said "May 10th" I felt sick, and then I read on and saw it would be only the 40s. Well, heck, compared to last night, the 40s are a piece of cake. Thanks for the heads up, though. It is a reminder that cold weather still can slap us around in May.
I start putting more tomato plants in the ground tomorrow.
And, for anyone interested, I covered up every planted row with my DeWitt 10-degree frost blanket, even the cool-season crops that didn't really need it. I figured since I had it, I'd use it. We were below freezing for about six hours, much of that time at 28 degrees, and there is not one speck of damage on anything growing in those rows that I covered, and that includes summer annual flowers growing as companion plants in the veggie beds.
Next year I am going to plant more stuff earlier and just drag out the row cover as needed.
There is a lot of dead foliage on trees and vines (trumpet creeper) that had leafed out, and my pecan tree got hit fairly hard, and now the tiny little leaves are shriveled up and just look sad. However, all those will bounce back fast. The comfrey was in bloom and was feeding tons of bees a day, and it froze back to the ground, but will regrow quickly. Considering how cold it got and how long it stayed before freezing, the amount of damage on trees, shrubs and vines is minimal and not unexpected.
I heard the helicopters seem to have saved the peach crops at Livesay's Orchard in Porter. Yay!
I have not been to the farm to collect the data from the weather station computer, but I know it was 30 at 11:00pm and 22 at 7:00am so it was bad. Our place is at the low end of a large valley and is always the coldest place in the county on the still nights.
My guess is that at those temps and the current stage of budbreak here that 60% of the trees will lose most of the crop and 40% will not be impacted. Much of the southern third of the state and in Texas there was expected to be a large crop and if it got down to 28 for a few hours it will really hurt the crop.
This why I love cold March temps. But even with the cool March, the last week of warm nights still pushed all the trees. Had the freeze happened last Tuesday we would have lost only 10% of the crop. This is why we as pecan growers in northern OK need to plant Kanza or other northern varieties. Kanza damage is 10%, Caddo is 100% lost.
Thank you for that. I decided on planting another pecan tree or two on my property. What I didn't know is which kind was best. With the strange weather, pecan nut identification of my existing trees is daunting.
I hate to hijack this thread. I'll start another thread about pecan varieties in a few days when I see what the damage done by the freeze has been. For now I can tell you that you need a northern cultivar in your location for sure, the OSU pecan extension publications will tell a little about them, and your best route to take is to get some seedlings dug up in winter and moved and then get some graftwood a year or two later to change it over to an improved variety. Unfortunately this will take 10+ years to get many nuts.
My method has been to germinate natives nuts and plant them in small pots in spring, then plant them in the ground in October. For just a few trees this might be too much work.

Tracking Website Successes
To be successful with a website, you need to define the goals you want it to achieve. Common website goals are receiving a contact email or a cart submission.
Being able to track those goal and analyse what causes them to happen can be a great weapon to help you optimise your website design, online advertising and promotional activities.
Working on increasing the rate you achieve goals will focus you on activities that most benefit your business through leads and sales.
To help you do that, Google Analytics allows you to setup Goals and analyse all the other data in relation to them. What search words cause more goals? Which websites send you visitors that trigger goals? What route do visitors use that trigger Goals?
This article will take you through the steps of creating a standard goal in Google Analytics
Determining a Goal Page
The simplest and most common way to define a goal is through the viewing of a certain page. If a visitor reaches that page, then a goal is made.
For example, if you have a contact page, have it go to a thankyou page after the user has posted their message. The thankyou page can provide the visitor with a nice message while also triggering the goal.
In a similar way, you can create a thankyou page for after a cart is submitted. Again this can be setup to trigger a goal.
Setting up the Goal
Once you have determined the page that will be the trigger of your goal, you can go into Google Analytics and setup the Goal:
Go to your Analytics Settings page (login if required)
Choose the account you wish to add the goal to, and click on the Edit link...
Scroll down to the section on Goals, and click on the Add Goals Link. In this case you can see I already have a few.
Here you will see a few options...
For our simple goal we need to fill in a few fields as shown above.
First create an appropriate name for your goal. This gets shown when you are looking at your Analytics Data.
In this case we are triggering a goal based on a page on your website, so select a Goal Type of URL Destination.
This will open a new section where you can enter the URL of your page. Leave the Head Match setting as is and enter your pages file name in the Goal URL field. Make sure you start the URL with a dash(/) as the comments request.
Finally, Allocate a value to your goal. I normally choose 1. Then click Save Goal to have it activated.
I would then recommend you test that goal is working, for example, submit a form. It may take a few hours for your goal to show up, and make sure your including today in your date range.
Viewing Goals
When you go back to viewing your websites statistics you will see there is a Goals option in the left hand menu. This will give you direct access to your goals and how they are performing over time.
An keep an eye out when viewing other statistics such as traffic sources which has a Goals Tab to cross reference with goals:

Elsie Marie Jensen
Elsie Marie Jensen passed away and was born into eternal life on Friday, August, 23, 2013 at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, SD. Funeral services will be held at 2:00pm, Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at Ascension Lutheran Church in Brookings. Visitation will be held from 5:00pm to 7:30pm, Monday, August 26, 2013 at Rude's Funeral Home in Brookings.
Elsie was born to Christian and Evelyn Winther on January 13, 1933. She lived in the Arlington area during her youth graduating from Arlington High School in 1951.
Elsie attended General Beadle College in Madison obtaining her one year teaching certificate in 1952 and her two year teaching certificate in 1954. She taught school in Eastern South Dakota from 1953 to 1957.
Elsie met her true love and soul mate, Karl Jensen, and they were married on June 23, 1956. Following their marriage, Elsie and Karl resided in Brookings and raised their three children, Linette, Kevin and Patricia.
Elsie dedicated herself to her marriage and raising her children. When Patricia entered kindergarten, Elsie enrolled at South Dakota State University and Dakota State College (taking classes only when her kids were in school). Elsie obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in 1974 with Karl and her three children beaming with pride at her graduation.
Elsie then taught school as a third grade teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School in the Brookings School System. She was a dedicated teacher and loved making a difference in her students' lives. She retired from teaching in 1995 after having taught third grade for 20 years.
Elsie was active in many organizations. She was a Charter member of Ascension Lutheran Church having served in many capacities: church council, Sunday School teacher, office volunteer and circle member. She was a Girl Scout troop leader for many years. She was a member of three bridge groups, Literary Club, ADK, extension club and Brookings Retired Teachers. She delivered Meals on Wheels for many years. Whenever and wherever there was a need, Elsie would fill it.
Elsie was preceded in death by her husband, Karl, her parents, Christian and Evelyn Winther, and her brother, Dwayne Winther.
Elsie is survived by her three children: Linette (David) Ulrickson, Canton, South Dakota; Kevin (Gina), Sioux Falls, South Dakota.; and Patricia, Kansas City, Missouri; her five grandchildren, Hillary (Luke) Dingledine, Elkhorn, Nebraska, Tanner Ulrickson, Canton, South Dakota, and Regan, Anika and Kaia Jensen, Sioux Falls, South Dakota; one sister, Arlyce (Mel) Thorne, Brookings, South Dakota and one brother, Elden (Delores) Winther, Aberdeen, South Dakota; and many nieces and nephews and close friends.
Elsie will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren, family and friends. She taught us that God is always faithful, that family is important, that service to friends and persons in need is vital and that determination and hard work are expected.

First Regional Consultation on Migrants Caught In Countries In Crisis Held In Manila
On 23-24 March, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), on behalf of the Philippine government, hosted a regional consultation for South, South-East and East Asian countries under the global 'Migrants in Countries in Crisis' (MICIC) initiative. The meeting provided an opportunity for governments to exchange views and identify best practices on how to assist migrants in countries in crisis. As Ambassador Guy Ledoux of the EU Delegation to the Philippines explained in his opening remarks, 'we know that many countries, notably the Philippines but also others in Asia, already have good systems in place to protect their nationals abroad, and we want to learn from these experiences'.

Social remittances to the Philippines create long-term, genuine progress
The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) gathered the country's most influential Filipino community leaders from around the world for the 3rd Global Summit last February 25-27 at the Manila Hotel
MANILA, Philippines (March 5, 2015) – In 2014, around 10.5 million Overseas Filipinos (OF) working or residing in more than 200 countries had remitted an astounding $28 billion or P1.2 trillion to the country, according to the World Bank. And yet, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), the primary government agency tasked to protect and uphold the rights and welfare of OFs, says there's a much more important currency that global Filipinos are sending back. They are social remittances.

Aeromat Elite Mats
By Mark from Sarasota on 2/18/2015
Size: NA
We bought 20 for our in-house fitness room. I've heard great remarks about the feel and they like they can hang up out of the way. A few said they wished they were a few inches wider but they still liked the mat's construction.

Works for what i needed
By Jenn Bauer ZIN from Charles City, IA on 2/14/2015
I used the search to find "Aqua Mats" for teaching my Aqua Zumba Classes. When the mat arrived I was a little worried that the tag said "do not get wet"... I try to keep this as far from the water as I can and it has done a great job reducing the impact of all the jumping I do. Only down side is it's not quite wide enough. Overall pleased with my purchase for the price.
DO NOT hang this mat
By TP from Seattle, WA on 1/21/2015
The mat, itself, is of great quality. The downside, the handle. Do not try to hang it as there is no reinforcement for the handle. I am not sure why it even has a handle. As soon as I hung it, the mat drooped. By the next day, the handle hole was so stretched out that I could tell it would break with continuous hanging. Sad, because I only have space to hang mats and no area to stack mats.
Yoga mat is fine

Yoga mat is fine.
unpleasant smell
By katalina from fredericksburg,va on 11/29/2014
I bought this mat beacause was Pthalates-free PVC closed-cell foam.However, it has a noxious odor that no matter how long air out has not gone away:(I'm only 5'1" and it would be helpful if just a few inches longer, so for someone tall this mat would not work.

Foam Roller
By Marilyn from San Pierre, IN on 9/2/2014

Great mat!
By Marilyn from Michigan on 8/21/2014
Great mat to help you feel secure in your poses. Feels secure without being sticky, even when slightly damp from sweat. It does have a bit of a new mat smell, but that subsided after a week or so. I would have liked it to be a bit softer.

Too large for spine rolls
By Serenity from Peoria, IL on 8/11/2014
I purchased this roller expressly to do spine rolls from shoulder to the lower back. This roller is too thick to do this comfortably. The length is good but the roller is too firm for a comfortable transition rolling from the low back to shoulder. It is great for using under the legs or thighs.
Easy to order, use and quick delivery

I was new to these and my friend had one a little softer. He's not an athlete and doesn't train at anything, so that was good for him. I got the extra firm and I AM TELLING YOU GUYS.. Best product I've ever used. Your own body weight massages and rolls knots out of just about anywhere! Must have. Use this in the morning, stretch with it. And before you go to bed. You won't regret it
Exactly what I expected
By Casey from Nashville, TN on 6/21/2014
This foam roller came in exactly as described. It appears to be durable and well made. I'm very happy with my purchase
Does what it is suppose to do.
By Fitness Fanatic from Va. on 6/16/2014
Good for a quick work out. I recommend it.
True to description
By Michele from West Palm Beach on 5/23/2014
This roller is excellent and really extra firm,if this is what you are looking for.
very nice- but small
By sunny p. from nashville, tn on 5/21/2014
these were just too tiny for adults to use as workout mats
Great workout Mat
By Tam from Tennessee on 5/7/2014
This is by far the best workout mat that I've found. It's thicker than anything I've found locally. And, Even though it's thicker, I don't think it is any heavier than some of the lighterweight mats. Great mat for the money!
By Willie W. from Ames, IA on 4/14/2014
The roller is firm and sized correctly for rolling out my back and legs. I am 6"2" and 170lbs. I have had some mid-back pains and lots of muscle knots. This roller has helped massage out the knots and relieved the pain. It also popped my back in-place!
Just what was needed
By Mary from Missouri on 2/27/2014
The price was certainly good. I needed the cylinder to exercise with after hip surgery. The difference between this one & the one I used at rehab was that this one isn't covered with a vinyl cover nor does it have a rope handle to hang it up - the foam meets my needs. Your shipping was reasonably priced for an item I wanted to be at home when I got home myself.

Top quality.
By anthony from new jersey on 12/1/2013
Same as the one I use in the gym for about half the price.
the grid is awesome!
By John from Temple Georgia on 11/27/2013
awesome to use on legs after a run! great product! use it everyday!
Good workout with this
By Sue from Snohomish, WA on 10/17/2013
Size: TRUE
We use this band (and heavier ones) in our Silver Sneakers class at the Y. I wanted one to use at home and also to take to the Y, since there aren't many yellow ones there. It is sturdy, versatile (you can use it with a door to get different exercises), and the handles make it easy to use. I have bad shoulders, so this light-weight band is best for me. I use the green one for some exercises.
Great mat, glad I bought it!
By Redo from Tennessee. on 10/8/2013
The surface is a little rough so it took me a while to get used to it, but I love this mat! Made downward dog position doable for me...
By Sergi from Fort Pierce, FL on 9/13/2013
love it
Love a sticky mat
By Vicente G. from Miami, FL on 9/11/2013
This mat has a slightly sticky texture and has great grip and I like the size.
Great for swimmers
By Paul A. from Longmont, CO on 8/19/2013
Just the right amount of tension for several different exercises.I've used them everyday for the last 6 months.
great roller
By Tina from Philadelphia, Pa on 8/16/2013
This roller is great!! Love it! Use it on my back and legs and now my husband is using it too. Can't beat it for the price.
Therapeutic uses
By Judy from Corona del Mar on 8/14/2013
Really helped work out my IT band problem, although roller could've been a bit softer. Using it now for behind the knee support after hip replacement! Great for travel -- can stuff clothes in tube.
Small and firm, but full width of refular size
By sgp from PA on 7/30/2013
For what it is, it works very well. Because it is full diameter of a regular foam roller, that cuts both ways. It's tough top fit in a backpack, for example, but can do much that a full size does.
good product
By vince from irving, TX on 7/29/2013
Great product and it does exactly as promised.It was delivered on time.I would highly recommend this product to anybody.
Very good
By Andrea from EC on 7/28/2013
Comfortable to lie on and stretch but sturdy enough to work out with.
By Silver Lake Pilates Studio from Los Angeles, CA on 7/17/2013
Softer than the black version so that you can lie on it and stretch but doesn't warp after continual use.
By JennFL from Orlando, FL on 7/12/2013
I was turned on to the foam roller by a co-worker, this has got to be one of the best suggestions I have received in a long time! It has helped me to relax my back after a long day of work, sitting at the computer.
Great buy for the price
By giojp from williamstown on 5/3/2013
Great buy, just wish it came with a list of uses
Great roller for the price
By Matthew B. from KINGWOOD, TX on 4/30/2013
I searched all over for rollers & RunOutlet had the best price, by a lot, and it was delivered as promised. I like the 6"x23" size, large enough to hit all the needed areas & small enough to use on the floor at home without hitting furniture. I am new to rolling, though I've been doing long distance triathlon for years and only recently started having problems with tightness and knee pain. Adding the roller into my routine has helped tremendously, the knee pain is gone and I feel so much looser.
Great Roller
By RunForever from Kennewick, WA on 4/18/2013
I use this roller in the morning and the evening every day an it has significantly helped! I run and my muscles get very tight and sore, but this roller keeps them feeling fresh and light. Will definitely buy again!
roll away tightness
By jim from avon,ohio on 4/15/2013
great for tight muscles took some time to learn how to roll with it in certain areas that you want massaged.
Worth the money
By Kathy717 from New Jersey on 3/16/2013
I use this after workouts to help break up the muscle tightness. I also use this to massage my calfs after running.
Love It!
By CAM94 from Arden, NC on 3/10/2013
Not only did you have the hard to find size that I was searching for, it was at a great price & also proved to be an item of very good quality. It suits my needs perfectly and I couldn't be more pleased with the item, value & your speed of light shipping.
Great Price for Tough Roller

Very pleased with this roller. I didn't know what to expect at this price, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality. Seems tough enough to withstand my 1/3 year old boys playing with it as well as my own use. Would definitely recommend!
Foam rollers rock!
By C Ro from Spokane WA on 3/8/2013
By using the roller after a workout, I greatly reduce the amount of soreness I experience. It's pretty easy, just lay your quads, hams, calves, back or arms on it and roll over it with body weight, like you're rolling out cookie dough, only the roller is under the dough, not on top. It will be uncomfortable, but the action of the compression brings on myofascial release of knotted up or tight muscle/ connective tissue and stimulates blood flow to get the sore out. I like this particular one because of the rigid inner tube that gives a harder tube to roll on, and it lasts longer than just a solid foam tube that will break down over time. The only drawback I can see is that it isn't the most convenient to use on arms, but it still works on a table or against a wall or on the floor. Bottom line- I would recommend this roller to anyone that wants a quality roller that will last, and work if used correctly.
Love it
By Trina S. from SLC, Ut on 3/4/2013
I love rolling out the muscles. My husband always complains when I rub him I don't use enough pressure, but with this thing I can! :)
Great stiff foam roller. Good size too. Fast shipping. No complaints on my end.
By Dirty D from Boise, ID on 2/25/2013
Been using this foam roller for my IT band, quads and hamstrings. If everyday stretching just is not doing the trick, this is the next step. It was super cheap compared to the stores and is just as advertised.
Does the job
By RonG from San Francisco, CA on 2/15/2013
Bought a high density foam roller at the recommendation of my physical therapist. While he uses a 30 inch roller, I picked the 23 inch one so that it would fit in my luggage. This roller seems to be the same quality as the more expensive brand used by my therapist, and 23 inches is more than sufficient for my purposes.
Finds just the right spot to release!
By Birthday Girl from Davison MI on 2/15/2013
The roller is large enough to make rolling legs easier and firm enough that it doesn't crush under the weight. It's a real hit at the gym on sore muscles.
Does exactly as expected
By reallypickyaboutthings from Boone, NC on 2/13/2013
I can't really say much about this, except that it's a foam roller, and functions as such. It's a bit wide, but that's the norm for all of them, I think
great for aches n pains
By ram12ez from Corona, ca on 2/7/2013
Found this roller to be firm and useful. Able to help with my back and IT bands. I have very tight and stubborn knots which this roller has been able to releave. Perfect size to perform every routine perfectly.
Very dense, very light, Perfect for back
By ''Pie from Boulder, CO on 2/5/2013
Quite restorative back roller. Easy to hide behind couch. Easy to clean.

For the first time, Sai Baba's most important 1978 interview with Westeners:
1. Fully assembled in one piece, in one place
2. With english subtitles added for extra clarity
3. Important even though many devotees have seen this before, important due to the significance of Baba's words.
4. Video quality is very poor, but content of words spoken trump quality of video.
Welcome to Souljourns. Questions or comments? Email: email@example.com
Gyani Baile is from Midland, Michigan and with this video comes one of Souljourns most revealing interviews.
Gyani, a serious follower of Sri Sathya Sai Baba unlocks for all to appreciate a significant part of the mystery of self-realization. His own self-realization, as well as that of his departed wife, Shivangini, a woman who in the end became a jivanmukta (A Jivanmukta is a liberated sage. She is released even while living. She lives in the world, but she is not of the world. She always revels in the eternal bliss of the Supreme Self.)
Note: Shivagini's own story can be found here in this list of Souljourns video interviews.
Welcome to Souljourns. This interview was recorded on April 26th, 2012 in the home of Sai Baba devotees, Drs. Rashmi and Ravi Goyal in Ponte Vedra, Florida.
An amazing story of complete spiritual transformation. The Making Of A Yogini is a 5 part series.
In part 1, how Dolly Baile (later to be called Shivangini) of Midland, Michigan, a woman of no significant spiritual inclination until mid life, was taken by Sai Baba to the level of Jivanmukta. Unlike those blessed individuals who have occasional periods of self realization, a Jivanmuka is a person who lives at constant self realization. Until her death in 2005, Sai Baba told her that she was one of 27 Jivanmuktas alive.
And, this is also the story of Shivangini's husband, Gyani Baile (his Souljourns story of self realization has already be uploaded to Souljourns) who chronicled Shivangini's story of transformation in several books and in interviews.
Welcome to Souljourns, this interview was recorded in Midland, Michigan on August 17, 2012. Your comments are welcome below, or email us at: email@example.com

I had send my resume on friday, immediately after I received a phone call to set up a conference call with the Sr.DM and VP. We had a 15min conversation, I thought all went well but WITH IN 2 hours I received an email that they didn't think I was the right person for the job. I did not see that coming to be honest. A few questions they asked me:
What do you know of the company, what would your formal supervisor tell about you, how would this person rate you on a scale from 1-10. You have to tell what your strength is and also weakness. Prepare a few questions yourself for at the end of the conversation. You need to tell them about your management skills.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Public Storage in June 2014.Interview Details
Phone interview with Senior District Manager. Was supposed to be 45 minutes, but ended up being over 90. Got a call back within an hour to fly out the next week for a second interview in-person (scheduled for 3 hours). Was told that the position was for a DM-in-training. Didn't get much information at all about the position or demands during the phone interview, so I asked about work/life balance, percentage of travel, and vacation/time-off accrual (all logical questions that most anyone would want to know before accepting an offer). Really just wanted to compare to my previous career. I got another call saying that there were "concerns about our alignment" and that they were going to pass on moving forward with me. Evidently the organization doesn't care much for what they can provide the employee in exchange for their hard work. It's too bad that they pass on people with proven excellent record of results just because they inquire about work/life balance. Doesn't sound very people-oriented. I was already suspicious based on the employee reviews and the fact that they tout the salary and bonus so much in the job listings. Must be paying for hard servitude.Interview Questions

This was the most unprofessional disorganized interview I have ever been part of. The person called 30 minutes prior to the interview needing to reschedule for later in the day. When she rang later in the day she seemed hurried, obviously had not read my resume prior to the call, and worst of all was clearly reading from a script and could not change based on my previous answers. It is as if she felt the only way to interview was to do it from a canned script and had no idea what to do with the answers.Interview Questions

- At the end of the interview she indicated that if I had questions for her now was the time to ask. I asked her: "Based on my resume, and my skills and abilities, how do you think a person like me would do at this position." Her response was: "Well, I do not know much about your background, so I cannot answer that." This was after the supposed interview and after she supposedly read my resume. I am very disappointed that a company such as this has such low standards for the training of their interviewers. I also asked her of her background prior to coming to into the storage game, she indicated that it was with a Blockbuster Video store, I tried to draw comparisons from her previous job to the one she has now to see if she could see where my background could come in helpful...she was unable to do so. For the record, I have extensive multiunit management of hotels and work with REIT's, something I thought would be very transferable. I guess not, got the form letter today that they were not interested. Answer Question

Iranian crude oil supertanker "Delvar"_370.

The European Union on Sunday implemented tough new energy sanctions, denying Iranian crude oil imports to EU markets. There is, however, a growing consensus that the US and its allies need to further ratchet up the economic pressure on an increasingly recalcitrant and jingoistic regime in Tehran.The goal is stop Iran's drive to become a nuclear-weapons power.EU sanctions will severely cut into Iran's energy sector, which provides roughly 80 percent of the country's exports, and almost half its state revenue.Nonetheless, as the noose of sanctions continues to strangle Iran's economy, the country's leaders are scrambling to show defiance. Central bank Gov. Mahmoud Bahmani declared on Monday, "We are implementing programs to counter sanctions and we will confront these malicious policies." He cited $150 billion in foreign reserves to be used to cushion the impact of new sanctions.In response to repeated Iranian threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, with a view toward shutting down the vital passageway to Persian Gulf oil shipments from other countries, the US has stepped up its military presence in the region. Brig.-Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who commands the aerospace division of the Revolutionary Guards, told Iran's state-controlled Fars News Service, "We have thought of measures to set up bases and deploy missiles to destroy all these bases in the early minutes after an attack." All of Tehran's saber-rattling in the Persian Gulf—coupled with its efforts to circumvent sanctions—helps to explain why there is a pressing need for a comprehensive embargo.In light of Iran's ability to set up front companies to bust sanctions, The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday bemoaned, in an editorial titled "Obama's Iran Loopholes," the lack of sanctions enforcement from the Americans. According to the Journal, "It's so weak, in fact, that all 20 of Iran's major trading partners are now exempt from them. We've arrived at a kind of voodoo version of sanctions... But if you're a big oil importer in China, India or 18 other major economies, the sanctions are mostly smoke."Writing in late June on the website of Foreign Policy magazine, Mark Dubowitz, a leading US sanctions expert, urged greater "economic warfare" targeting Iran's entire energy apparatus and branches of its non-gas-and-oil sectors.Dubowitz,the executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, advocates a creative piece of US legislation from Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Florida), Rep. Robert Dold (R-Illinois) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) that designates Iran's entire energy sector as a "zone of primary proliferation concern."The proposed law would bar businesses active in the US and in the EU from engaging in commerce with the Islamic Republic's energy branch. Dubowitz proposes zooming on punitive measures for "Iran's automotive sector, which is the largest part of its economy outside the energy industry" as well as the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps -controlled construction and engineering sector. He further argues that the Revolutionary Guards-dominated Iranian telecommunications and technology sector ought to be designated a "zone of electronic repression."Lastly, the UN Charter permits a full embargo against a country that consistently violates UN resolutions, permitting the Security Council to impose a "complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations."The enactment of an exhaustive UN embargo of Iran's economy remains largely a utopian idea because Russia and China—Tehran's main enablers at the UN—would go to great lengths to prevent it.Economic warfare might very well have a solid chance of compelling Iran's leaders to suspend their illicit weapons-grade nuclear-enrichment program. The principal challenge is for the US and its allies to strictly enforce sanctions and to rapidly move toward a comprehensive embargo of the Islamic Republic's economic activity.

Cellist Zuill Bailey kicks off series of free performances for Northwest Bach Festival
Cellist Zuill Bailey kicked off a series of 6 free Flash-Bach concerts on Wednesday with a noon performance in the Riverpark Square Atrium.
These flash performances are organized to make classical music more accessible to various people in different locations.
"I think that concerts are one thing. Those are people that know to go, they know the beauty of the music, they prepare themselves to go. But I really feel the need to bring music to people that may not know," Bailey said. "It's basically bringing music to the people, in any way that I possibly can outside the concert hall."
