This towel is compact light weight and very absorbent. I have used it on my morning runs and it has yet to fail me. I am one of those people that sweat a lot just doing anything so when I run I am Niagara Falls. The towel is constantly getting the sweat off my face and out of my eyes without leaving me feeling like I just pushed the sweat around my face. After my runs I rinse it out with water do a couple of quick wrings of it, let it air dry and within about 10 to 15 mins its completely dry again. Cant wait to use it on the trail this weekend to see how it works out having it connected to my pack. But if your a sweaty person like I am and your looking for something to wipe your face off with the small one is a great addition to any runner who hates the burn of sweat in their eyes.
I guess I should face it. I'm a gear snob. A $1 bandanna may work just as well as this towel for many people, but I like cool campy things that come in stuff sacks.More than that, this is soft and dries super quickly. The loop is super handy for drying outside your pack. Add one to your pack and turn your nose down on those bandanna carries!

Man injured in Gifford shooting
An argument between two men in the 3800 block of 44th Place left one wounded by gunfire about 7 p.m. Wednesday, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
A 23-year-old Gifford man was transported by ambulance to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute in Fort Pierce to be treated for a gunshot wound to the head, said Sgt. Eric Flowers, Indian River County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
The wound is not believed to be life-threatening, Flowers said.
As officials investigated the scene Wednesday, 44th Place was closed between 38th and 39th avenues.
Flowers said the names of the suspect and victim could not be released late Wednesday.
No further information was available Wednesday night.

Where is a Canadian to go for a Ride?

If you haven't been to that part of the world, I highly recommend you ride though southern Utah. Las Vegas has good flight connections, and bike rentals AFAIK.
You could do a great week working your way across Utah (Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, Arches), and dip down to Monument Valley and Grand Canyon, loop back to Vegas. Southwestern Colorado is also amazing, highly recommended if you have the time.
However, Feb/March might be a little early for this (and definitely too early for Colorado), since a lot of it is at pretty high elevation. So either delay or consider a different base, like Phoenix for example. You could stay in the lower desert areas where the weather will be warmer (but you'll run into a lot of Canadians, eh). I don't know a lot about southern AZ, so I'll let someone else chime in. Have fun.

Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much
by Sendhil Mullainathan (Author), Eldar Shafir (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not what I expected but interesting nonetheless.
A book I would read again.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I was really looking forward to reading "Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much" and it did not disappoint. Having too many things can affect many aspects in your life since the more there is, the less you can focus. It's an interesting concept in relation to how we perceive success and our own happiness.
In contrast to other popular science books, here for once is one that acknowledges that there are trade-offs in the world-more of everything is not necessarily better. Much is quite standard for an economist used to thinking about scarce resources, here attention. The novel point is that scarcity itself is costly. Scarcity reduces "bandwith", like a computer overloaded with running programs. An experiment with random assignment of rich and poor show how scarcity itself can be stressful and thus important beyond having fewer resources. Planning ahead is important for success-is there a difference between long-term thinkers and others? Maybe not, since find many who do not think ahead among students at good universities and other resourceful people. But there really are differences among, I would object, the question is what trait or combination of traits is more fundamental. Everyone tunnels, but it is a good idea to structure incentives well inside the tunnel. The authors recognize that we need to prioritize what to incentivize the poor to do, since every activity taxes bandwith. Effects on bandwith are important to consider and also to see as an outcome. E.g. helping a poor mother with full-day child care so she does not have to juggle so many arrangements. Allocated bandwith more important than number of hours, ref Ford and efficiency wages.
This book breaks down scarcity and lean times in easy to understand language. It reminds me of FREAKANOMICS. I did not have to know anything about economics. A layperson can understand what the authors are saying. There is humor in it. I laughed but I also was able to see how I do the same things the poor (or the busy) do in regards to good times versus lean times (extra time versus deadlines). I hope that I will make the necessary changes to save during prosperous times (or free time) for the lean times. It opened my eyes to what I am doing wrong and proposes what I can do for the future.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805092641, Hardcover)
A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture
Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.
Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.

Kitchenaid KSM150PSER Customer Reviews
"I actually bought this mixer as a wedding gift for my niece. I have owned 4 different KitchenAid mixers, all different models, each an upgrade from the last. These are the best machines you can buy. I've been cooking for 50 years and have used a KitchenAid since I was in my mid-twenties. I suspect my niece and her new husband will have this mixer for decades to come."
"like the robust feel and operation, even when 'overloaded' with dough and cheese. minor problem with lock on first but immediate replacement just perfect. last one lasted 35 years! hard to stop this product! could use power takeoff in husbands shop!"
"Kitchen aid should give us more guidelines with video and recipe on their web site for their product. Very difficult to find useful information at their site, this is disappointing to new users !"
"I'm so glad I decided to buy this! Preparing cake batter and cookie dough is so easy now. And making pizza and bread is so much simpler."
"I love to cook for family and friends. I remember my mother's Kitchen Aid mixer, and have wanted one for quite some time. I am not disappointed. It is the same sturdy construction with the same stellar performance. It is truly a classic and it looks beautiful in my kitchen, an added bonus."
"I had never used this product until I went to work at my hometown restaurant. It made preparing meals so much simpler; therefore, I decided I must have one."

8623 Melrose Ave.
West Hollywood, CA 90069
Villa Lounge is the WeHo favorite of tinseltown's party people, and even normal visitors will probably have to push past the paparazzi to get inside. However, with a capacity of only 147, just getting in is a feat in and of itself.
Once inside the wait quickly becomes worthwhile, as the go-go dancers turn heads and the overall bordello vibe throughout transports guests to another land altogether. Don't look for VIP tables though, as Villa's entire space is VIP.

Well, the word is out that Major League Baseball will be creating a task force to help reverse the decline of African-American ballplayers in the game.
Only 7.7 percent of black players comprised major league rosters on opening day this season.
That 7.7 percent figure is a historic low for the game ….. and is alarming the baseball community. That is a big decline from 1975 when 27 percent of MLB rosters were made up of African Americans.
While Hollywood celebrated the premiere of "42'' Tuesday night, the story of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947, four teams opened the season without a single African-American player on the opening-day roster - the St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, according to USA Today. The Giants, who have won two of the last three World Series championships, did not have a single African-American player in their major-league camp.
There are 18 teams who have two or fewer African-American players, with the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees accounting for nearly 17% of the African-American population in baseball.
"I never thought I'd see anything like this,'' Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan told USA. "But I've seen it coming. There, for a long time, there were a lot of African-American players to look up to and emulate, but there's not enough big stars now to dissuade them from basketball and football.''
There's no such problem among foreign ballplayers who comprise 28% of the rosters.
It also has been reported that the number of African-American fans in the stands is reportedly under 10%.

PC Advisor's comprehensive HDTV guide will show you how to set up your high-definition TV, from getting the best possible picture to making the right connections. Here's what to do once you get that brand new HDTV home.
Calibrate your picture
Calibration is the final step to getting the best possible picture from your new HDTV. Most new televisions come with picture "presets" - for specific inputs such as movies, games, and sport - that take the work out of adjusting contrast, brightness, hue, colour temperature, and sharpness. But the quality of these presets can vary.
Some manufacturers do a good job with them, and some don't, so test them before buying to make sure that they deliver the picture you want. TVs often emerge from the factory with their colour temperature and brightness set too high, or with their hues set too vivid, to give their picture a boost in a brightly lit showroom. If you want accurate colour reproduction customised to the lighting level in your viewing room, you should do your own calibration.
Quick and easy calibration
For a quick and easy "free" calibration, you can use almost any DVD that features THX audio. Star Wars director and THX developer George Lucas wanted viewers of his movies to enjoy accurate reproduction of both audio and video, so he provides a set of calibration tools in the DVD setup area of the disc. Just click THX Optimizer, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Before you start calibrating, be sure to do three things:
- Adjust the room lighting to its level during the time when you'll typically be watching TV.
- Turn the set's sharpness down to normal.
- Make sure that the colour temperature is set to 6500 degrees Kelvin (the video standard).
When you're ready to calibrate, the THX Optimizer will lead you through five test patterns for adjusting contrast, brightness, color/tint, aspect ratio, and sharpness to their optimum levels.
The optimiser presents a simple instruction screen for each adjustment, telling you what to look for, and what parameters to alter. Do this while you are standing close enough to the screen to see any necessary detail.

, massage/loosen calf, ice achilles.
The eccentric exercises (to anyone else interested), are desgined to strengthen the tendon over its
(not just part) of its lengnth. Same principle as with tennis elbow eccentric exercises. Basically, I stand off the edge of a step, sink down as far as it will go to stretch the achilles and then rise up on my toes. x10, x 2-3 times a day. Very easy exercise to do as well in terms of discipline, routine etc.
Not sure whether it should be 2 footed or 1 footed, but I've been doing it with 1 foot.
Will see how things go over the next couple of weeks.
Hi Torres,
I'd advise anybody who is currently feeling pain to do eccentric heel drops with two legs, and maybe even in a swimming pool to make it easier if that's where you need to start. Use your leg without the injury (and maybe your arms as well) to perform the "rise" part of the motion, then drop both heels very slowly, about 10-15 seconds. You want to emphasize the down/eccentric heel drop, and think of the UP motion just as a way to start the down/eccentric/heel drop over again. Yes there is a stretching component to the exercise, but that's not what it's really about. If you are doing this correctly, you will feel muscle burn.
Think of it this way. PT is just a fancy word for controlled destruction, you are tearing down muscle so that you can build it back up again with more strength. What the eccentric heel drop therapy does is re-groom all those little micro tears that havent healed properly. By that I mean, the body knows how to rebuild muscle withing the next 24 to 48 hours when it senses that it isnt up to the tasks it is being asked to perform. But chronic problems can arise when instead of taking a day off, you go out and play tennis the next day and the day after that. The muscle is trying to re-build itself, and you are asking it to do this work on the tennis court, so the muscle does not build itself up properly. There actually is still a debate over why eccentric stuff works, but the primary notion is you are re-grooming, re-building muscle in a very specific way that heals, as well as prepares the muscle to handle more stress loads.
The worst thing you can possibly do is push too hard, too fast, and too early in your PT. So when you are 100% certain that the two legged heel drops are working for you (or at least not causing additional pain) do them a little longer. Then move on to the one leg version. The Tortoise beats the Hare every time with Achilles PT. With the one leg heel drop, you want to use both legs on the rise, it's just a way to start the drop again.When you are certain the one leg versions are helping, just stick with it! you are then very close to the finish line. I will find some videos that show how to eccentric heel drops correctly and post them in my thread eventually. When I first posted about this in 2005, the idea was at the at the fringes. Now it's more mainstream, and with that, I'm finding to my horror legions of youtube videos that are poorly demonstrating the proper technique.
PS you need to stop playing for a while. and if you can't manage that, don't play two days in a row.
I'll keep in touch

LOS ALTOS, Calif., – Dec 15, 2008 – Staffing Industry Analysts released its latest list of the fastest growing temporary staffing metro markets today. Although Staffing Industry Analysts is reporting a drop in median metro employment of 3.5% for the twelve months ending in October 2008, the report suggests some bright spots. In particular, three metros—St. Louis, MO which grew its temporary staffing by 2.8% year over year, Baltimore, MD with year-over-year growth 3.7% and San Antonio, TX, with year-over-year growth of 1.7%—top Staffing Industry Analysts' Staffing Growth Statistics by Metro Area Report.
The report released today analyzes 70 metro markets throughout the United States. Although not yet one of the top markets, Milwaukee, WI was notable for an improved ranking, from 49th place last month to 24th in the latest report.
At the bottom of the list, the slowest growth markets include: Detroit, MI with negative 10.4% year-over-year growth, Phoenix, AZ with a decline of 8.8% and Wichita, KS which has lost 16.9% of its temporary staffing jobs.
