Tubbs Men's Flex ESC Snowshoe
DECENT FEATURES of the Tubbs Men's Flex ESC Snowshoe
- FLEX Tail: The patented FLEX Tail technology allows the snowshoe to roll more naturally underfoot from heel strike to toe off. The FLEX Tail absorbs shock from the initial heel strike, reducing the amount of stress on ankles, knees and hips
- Torsion Deck: Tubbs' advanced Torsion Deck design adapts to variable snow conditions underfoot. The deck allows torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe, enhancingtraction, biomechanics and comfort on uneven terrain
- Rotating Toe Cord: The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow off the tail and reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%. The underfoot pivot point also allows the teeth on the toe traction to bite deeply into the snow when weighted
- Rotating Toe Rotation Limiter: The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow and reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%, while a Rotation Limiter prevents over-rotation
- Quick FLEX: The molded Quick FLEX binding is gender-specific with patented Control Wings to center the boot. A dual-pull strap system secures fit while a cinch pull strap makes entry and exit easy The heel strap pulls tight against the boot, centering and securing it in position. women's size 5-11
- Traction Rails: The 3D-Curved Traction Rails ensure superior side-hill grip in hard packed and icy conditions. The curved shape helps prevent fore-aft slippage on steeper terrain by avoiding the "saw blade" effect. The Traction Rails are curved up at the tip to provide traction during toe off without causing you to trip

I've never snowshoed before, but took these ESCs on a camping trip last weekend and really liked them. They're lightweight, easy to carry, and the cleats are solid and give you good traction on the snow and ice. To me though, the pull straps are the best feature on these snowshoes. I tried on a pair Tubbs Flex RDGs at the Moosejaw in East Lansing and almost bought them because of the "Boa Closure System" - which is sweet btw - but I really didn't want to spend the extra money on my first pair of snowshoes, so I took a chance on these ESCs and I'm glad I did. The pull straps are easy to tighten down, and they stay snug while you wear them. When you're done, they loosen really quickly and come off really easily. I may upgrade to the RDGs someday, but I am really happy with my decision to get the ESCs.
My friend and I both bought these snowshoes and we take them everywhere! Because of the side grips, the stability is incredible and you definitely feel like you can climb up, down, over and around anything. They are also really nice because when climbing up a hill you don't feel like you have to dig the front into the ground. The whole snowshoe feels connected to the ground. The straps are extremely easy to use and the heel strap stays nice and snug the whole time. They are lightweight, easy to transport and super fun to use! I keep them in my car all the time.

We had a good evening last night (and, alas, substantially into the morning).
First, we enjoyed a too-brief dinner with a niece visiting from out of state, my brother's eldest, and with her daughter, who has recently put in her papers to serve a mission. My brother would have been absolutely insufferable with pride over this. In fact, he probably is.
Then we headed up to Abravanel Hall, adjacent to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, where we attended a performance of the Utah Symphony under the direction of Thierry Fischer. (Do people along the Wasatch Front appreciate what a remarkable thing it is to have an orchestra of this quality, and so fine a concert hall, in their general neighborhood?) It was an unusually varied program, beginning with "The Representation of Chaos" from The Creation, by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). Next were the very modern Figment V, featuring a marimba, and Two Controversies and a Conversation, starring piano and percussion. Both are by Elliott Carter (1908-2012 [and no, that's not a mistake]), having been composed in 2009 and, essentially, 2011, respectively. Then back to the past, with the Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel (1603-1656), which a small group from the orchestra played while standing. I freely confess, trite though it is, that I love Pachelbel's canon. I can still remember very clearly when I first heard it. But my favorite version, by far, remains that of Jean-François Paillard, who, sadly, died almost precisely a year ago. And, last, the orchestra, greatly expanded in size, performed Gustav Mahler's (1860-1911) enormous, lengthy, complex, and energetic Symphony No. 5. It was entertaining to watch Thierry Fischer conduct this work. Quite an aerobic workout for him. It is said, by the way, that, when the composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein died, having suffered a fatal heart attack just five days after, at age 72, publicly announcing his retirement from conducting, he was buried with a copy of the score of Mahler's fifth symphony lying on his heart.
Then, settling down for the evening, we flipped on the television and found that one of the cable channels was just a few minutes into Ben Hur, which neither of us had seen for many years. We thought that we would watch it for a little bit, just to relax. But we ultimately watched the whole thing. Until near 4 AM. Absolutely mad. Quite irresponsible. Clear evidence of a lack of self-discipline. Still, although Ben Hur has a few weaknesses — there are three or four places where it's too didactic even for me, and I caught an undeniable chronological error — I was surprised at how well it held up, over all. And I absolutely love the score, by Miklós Rósza. We've justified our madness by pointing out to each other that watching Ben Hur is a really good way to get into the spirit of Easter. And it is. If you have time, I recommend it. An alternative is to watch Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ. I realize that this film was controversial, and that many were frightened off by its reputation for bloody violence. But that reputation is exaggerated. And, anyway, a tamed and domesticated crucifixion is virtually a contradiction in terms. To be accurate, and to have the impact that they ought to have, portrayals of the crucifixion of Christ should help us to understand how very brutal it was, how lonely, and how high the price was that the Savior paid on our behalf. My family and I watched The Passion of the Christ some years ago for Easter, and we found it remarkably powerful.

The opulent Silverene apartment is located in the heart of Dubai Marina, conveniently close to the vibrant Dubai Marina Mall.
This excellent location is perfect for keen shoppers and diners alike, with easy access to some of the finest shops and boutiques in the city, and a wide range of restaurants, bars and cafes to enjoy.
For guests looking to explore further afield, there is a water taxi stop directly outside the building, which runs a variety of routes to some of Dubai's best sightseeing spots.
Over the years, the face of Dubai has changed considerably. Once just a small trading port, the city has flourished to become a vibrant, energetic urban oasis, with a landscape that features dramatic mountains, sandy beaches, wind-swept deserts and an international airport; which is now used by over 100 airlines.
It is also a land of contrast. Tradition mixes seamlessly with modernity here; and visitors can enjoy a day at the tracks, watching camel racing by day and horse racing by night, or alternatively, spend their days exploring the impressive designer boutiques and electronics stores in the malls. Indeed, shopping is a real event in Dubai, and most stores stay open until late at night; though remember, if you like to shop at the weekend, the official weekend days are Friday and Saturday here, not Sunday! Duty free shopping is also extremely popular in Dubai and all visitors enjoy the benefits of tax free purchasing at the airport.
The exotic Middle-Eastern ambiance blends with a strong sense of Westernisation, and it's one of the few countries where visitors can experience a taste of desert life, whilst enjoying the comforts of a thoroughly 21st century city. Worried about not being able to drink alcohol? Don't be! Many hotels in the city have bars, where you and your friends can relax and sip a drink or two in comfortable surroundings. Likewise, don't worry about having to cover up; bikinis are perfectly acceptable on the beach, and sun worshippers will enjoy the impressive public beach, just a short distance from the Marina.
Dubai also has a thriving culinary scene, and the city boasts a wealth of restaurants to suit every taste and budget. Bear in mind that Ramadan takes place during the summer, and as a result, some cafes and restaurants will be closed until sunset. However, most hotel restaurants and bars will remain open throughout.
When you stay in Dubai, you stay in a city that offers cultural experiences, remarkable landscapes, fine dining and shopping in abundance. It's no wonder that it's such a popular destination for travellers!

Long established for its ancient sea-routes, which reached as far as India and the East African coast, it is the heart and soul of the city.
The existence of the sheltered creek, as a waterway, is the reason why the settlement of Dubai was established here in the first place.
Dubai Marina
Marina living has become one of the most desirable and sought-after lifestyles in the world. The exclusivity, the status and the rewards of waterfront living are virtually boundless. and now you can have part of this lifestyle if only for a few days.

This two bedroomed, two bathroomed apartment sleeping upto six people, with the Dubai Water Taxi stopping right outside Silverene, and adjacent to Dubai Marina Mall where you will find over 150 shops and restaurants this is the most perfect location for your stay in Dubai.

"Don't hesitate - just book"
A fabulous apartment, spacious and well planned. Furnishings are of high quality and the block itself is very close to many amenities. Dubai Marina Mall is deceiving when you walk in to it, it opens out into quite a large area with plenty of shops to choose from. The beach as stated in previous reviews is a short walk away with the lovely clean beaches with shallow waters for children to be able to walk into. Not difficult to get around from here into the main Dubai malls and places of interest as taxis are relatively cheap and reliable. the views from the apartment are stunning especially at night. Pool was a bit more crowded on Fridays and Saturdays as that is the Dubai weekend, they go back to work on a Sunday.
Don't do as we did though, being British we asked at reception and they did not want to let us up to the apartment. Had we just gone up and used the code Karen supplied, we would not have had any problems!

Thanks so much to you all for taking the time to write a review on Silverene. I pride myself on ensure everything is perfect for my valued guests, the décor, furniture, linens and towels are so important and I insist that only the best are provided. I too love the pool area at Silverene and agree that it is a fab pool with the comfy sunbeds. One of the reasons I chose that area is due to the close proximity of the beach and, as you say, the vibrant atmosphere of the marina. I do hope I have the pleasure of welcoming you all back to Silverene very soon. Thank you again for your time.

Thank you so very much for your greatly received review. I am delighted that you and your family had such a marvelous time and the accolade of your 5* rating and the best apartment you have stayed in is so appreciated. I do apologise about the gym but this is why it was not advertised as a facility at the time of your booking as it was in the process of being built and therefore I knew it was not available to my guests. I am delighted to say it is now completed and available for all guests to use.
I strive so very hard to ensure the continued luxury of quality towels, bedding and décor is maintained at all times - so when a guest kindly notices my hard work it is extremely satisfying. Thank you for your kindness towards our future guests by offering up so much helpful information regarding the welcome pack we locate in each apartment and our delightful reception staff that are so helpful. I believe it is imperative that guests arriving during the early hours find food and drinks available along with all extras such as the iPod dock and HD TV. The stunning views from the balcony are a nice surprise to all our guests.
We hope you return very soon

MIG CRASH IN BANGALORE: The wreckage of a MiG 21 aircraft which crashed at the Bangalore Airport on Wednesday. One of the pilots was killed and the other injured. A bird-hit is suspected to be the cause of the accident. Photo: G. R. N. Somashekar
BANGALORE: An Indian Air Force MiG-21 aircraft crashed a few seconds after take-off at Bangalore's HAL airport on Wednesday afternoon, killing one of its crew, Sqn. Ldr. K.R. Murthy, a trainee test pilot. Sqn. Ldr. K.D. Bhat, flight test engineer, who ejected to safety, was rushed to the Air Force Command Hospital where he is recovering, an IAF spokesman said.
Preliminary evidence suggests that a bird-hit might have caused the accident. But the exact cause will only be known after a court of inquiry, headed by Air Cmdre P.V. Patel, is completed, Wg. Cdr. V. Raghunath said. The externally damaged Flight Data Recorder of the aircraft, which was recovered from the spot, has been delivered to the court of inquiry team.
The aircraft's debris was strewn on the left shoulder of Runway 2709, forcing the suspension of all civilian and military flight landings and take-offs for over two hours at the airport.
IAF sources said the two-seater trainer aircraft belonged to the Aircraft Systems and Testing Establishment (ASTE).
Taking off on a routine training sortie around 12.45 p.m., the pilot of the Type-69 trainer aircraft experienced a sudden loss of thrust. This was preceded by "the sound of something striking the aircraft," the spokesman said. Sqn. Ldr. Murthy immediately initiated the ejection procedure. The aircraft's fuel tank caught fire, trapping him in the fireball and detaching him from the parachute. Eyewitnesses at the airport said they saw the MiG-21 go up in flames with a loud noise before disintegrating into two parts. The carcass of a kite-like bird was found on the windshield.
Within minutes, fire extinguishers from the airport were at the accident spot dousing the flames. For the 111 passengers aboard a Delhi-bound Air Sahara aircraft, it was a providential escape as their flight had taken off barely 10 minutes before from the same runway. A duty manager of the airline said it would have been a major disaster if the crash had been closer to the airport terminal and parking bays.
A Jet Airways aircraft and a SpiceJet flight with nearly a hundred people on board were ready for takeoff after all the passengers had checked in.

Luke Harding
Berlin: The European Union's top justice official has warned that any E.U. country found to have operated secret CIA prisons could lose its voting rights.
In a move that increases pressure on the U.S. to explain the activities of the CIA, justice and home affairs commissioner Franco Frattini said there would be ``serious consequences'' if reports of CIA jails in Europe turned out to be true.
``I would be obliged to propose to the Council [of E.U. Ministers] serious consequences, including the suspension of voting rights in the Council,'' Mr. Frattini said at a counter-terrorism meeting in Berlin.
Mr. Frattini's remarks follow claims that the CIA set up a covert network of ``black sites'' in eastern Europe in the wake of September 11. Earlier this month, Human Rights Watch claimed that the agency secretly interrogated Al-Qaeda suspects at Soviet-era jails in Poland and Romania. Both countries deny it. Poland's President Aleksander Kwasniewski reiterated in a broadcast by news station TVN24 that his country has never hosted any CIA prisoners.
U.S. urged to clarify
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has urged the Bush administration to clarify the issue amid further reports that secret CIA planes carrying terrorist suspects regularly stopped off in several European countries. Germany's Foreign Minister Franz-Walter Steinmeier will raise the subject during his first visit to Washington. His symbolic fence-mending trip to the U.S. has been overshadowed by new allegations that the CIA used Germany as a hub for its so-called ``rendition'' flights. During the flights Islamist prisoners were allegedly transferred to third countries where they could be interrogated beyond the reach of international human rights legislation.
Last week, the Berliner Zeitung reported that at least six CIA planes had touched down at Frankfurt's Rhein-Main air base. The claims are embarrassing for Angela Merkel, Germany's new Chancellor, who wants to repair relations with the U.S. Several European governments have launched their own investigations into clandestine CIA prisoner-transfer landings.
The European Commission has also asked the U.S. to confirm the existence of secret CIA military jails, which almost certainly breach the European convention on human rights and the international convention against torture.

In theory, yes but it would be bad idea becasue of the draw through the cable. there are probably other things that wouldnt allow it but theorecically yes. i say give it a try and see what happens.
Posted 12 February 2005 - 01:18 AM
lcd screens dont draw that much power. if u need 120v (or w/e it is where u live) just solder on to the points on the psu. but u have to plug the power cable in the same way every time, if not the polarity will be wrong for the screen.

maybe it's not a good idea too much power could travel through the xbox cable or not enough you can go ahead and try it tho
Posted 12 February 2005 - 01:25 AM
get a black extension cable....shorten the xbox cable up and the lcd cable...then run them into the xbox behind the dvd rom where you plug them into the extension cable...problem solved

'Explore Wild Munnar' tour package targets conservation with people's participation
The 'Explore Wild Munnar' project launched recently by the Forest Department is turning out to be a big draw for tourists arriving at Munnar. It is a one-day conducted tour programme designed by the Anamudi Forest Development Agency.
Chief Wildlife Warden V. Gopinathan told The Hindu that the project aimed at tapping the tourism potential of the Munnar wildlife division by providing a means of livelihood to the tribal people living within the Chinnar wildlife sanctuary of the division. It covers the Eravikulam National Park, the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Shola National Park.
He said that within a protected forest area, all human activity was prohibited unless permitted. But a lot of people continued to live inside or in the periphery of the forest areas. They traditionally depended on forest produce for their livelihood. With enforcement of forest protection and conservation rules leaving no room for compromise, the government was exploring alternative livelihood means for such people without causing much disturbance to their way of life.
The 'Explore Wild Munnar' is one such measure to improve the living standards of hill Pulaya and Muthuvan tribes living within the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary.
Mr. Gopinathan said that besides being a part of the department's initiative for the welfare of the tribal stakeholders in the wildlife division, the venture also targeted the conservation of the biodiversity in and around Munnar with people's participation.
He said the project provided a fine opportunity for tourists to experience the grasslands and the deciduous, shola, and sandalwood forests of the region, in addition to ample sightings of wildlife. Very close encounters with the Nilgiri tahrs were one of the main highlights of the tour. The watchtower at Chinnar was another attraction.
P.U. Saju, Wildlife Warden of the Eravikulam National Park, said 'Explore Wild Munnar' was a one-day programme for tourists covering the Rajamala zone, Lakkom waterfalls, and Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. The tour started at 9 a.m. from Munnar and returned to Munnar by 6.30 p.m. It was managed by forest dwellers working as watchers in the eco development committees of the Eravikulam park.
He said the tribal people dwelling in the forest areas were among the poorest mainly because water scarcity posed a threat to farming in the area. To provide them livelihood, the government had appointed many of them as forest watchers and trekking guides. But, the wildlife tourism potential on the Munnar-Chinnar route remained largely untapped owing to lack of transport facilities. This was denying the tribal people working as trekking guides, especially at Alampetty and Chempakkad in the Chinnar sanctuary, a source of income. The new project included guided river trekking at Chempakkad. The tourists were also taken to visit the vestiges of the dolmens and the sandalwood forests in the area.
The Lakkom falls is another major attraction. The water from the falls reaches the east-flowing Pambar river, a tributary of the Cauvery. The tour enables good revenue from the amenities centre operated by the forest dwellers at Chempakkad. They also earn money by serving traditional food to the tourists.
Mr. Saju said the tour cost Rs.750 for each person, inclusive of lunch, two refreshments, and entry fee to Rajamala and Chinnar. It would be operated only if there were at least 10 persons.
The Rajamala programme of the tour would stand cancelled during the annual closure of the Eravikulam National Park for the calving season of the Nilgiri tahrs.

The Andromeda Galaxy
January 27, 2005
This detailed image of the Andromeda Galaxy was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera. Located in the constellation of Andromeda, the Princess, the Andromeda Galaxy is a large spiral galaxy very similar to our own Galaxy, the Milky Way. It is over 65,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 2.2 million light-years in distance. The area shown in this image is quite large on the sky, covering about five times the area of the full Moon. This true-color image was created by combining images taken in seven filters: U (violet), B (blue), V (green), R (orange), I (red), Hydrogen-Alpha (red) and Oxygen [OIII] (green).

Pro-Pakistan Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani's son Dr Naim-ul-Zaffer Geelani has created a stir in the Valley by giving a written undertaking in the J&K high court that he is "law abiding citizen who is interested in the peace and prosperity" of the restive state.
In a writ petition filed in the court for the issuance of the passport, Naim, 53, and his wife Dr Rehana Nazir, 39, have prayed that withholding the passports on the ground of their father and father-in law (Hurriyat hawk) respectively being an "opposition political leader" is a violation of Article 14 and 21.
Naim, whose sudden return from Pakistan two years back had kicked off a debate over the ageing Hurriyat hawk's succession, now wants to leave Kashmir along with his wife for working in Gulf countries as medicos.
Naim and his wife had left for Pakistan on a valid passport in 1996. During his stay in Pakistan he obtained post graduation degree in surgery.
After 10-year validity of the passport expired, they applied to Indian high commission for temporary passport which was granted for one year from 2007-08. It was extended till November 2010 when they returned to India on exit certificates. They later applied for passport which was not granted prompting them to approach the HC.

County still has time to recycle trees
iles of Christmas trees at Rhodes Jordan Park show Gwinnett residents are continuing the tradition of recycling their firs, pines and spruces. It's a little too early, however, to gauge how this year's Bring One for the Chipper program compares to years past, said Connie Wiggins, executive director of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. Many people bring their trees to a recycling location after Jan. 10, she said.

Mike Napoli signing finally official

Slugger, Sox adjust to hip condition
Slugger, Sox adjust to hip condition
During his seven-year major league career, Mike Napoli has gone on the disabled list because of a sprained ankle, an irritated shoulder and strains of a hamstring, an oblique and a quadriceps.
But he never has injured a hip.
So, consider Napoli's surprise last month when the condition of his hips raised red flags with Red Sox doctors during a physical exam. Then, imagine the slugger's alarm when he learned more about the severity of the problem.

I thought it was a very clever episode. Nothing outstanding, but the moments worked for the most part. There was some good tension and some good surprises. I didn't expect the reveal at the end (I suspect he'll be a reoccurring villain).
What's with the backwards poll choices?

I teach middle school, and just last week one of the kids said "So, when should we expect to have a sub?" To which I replied "You won't! I'm only 19 weeks." "Of how many?" "40." "Wow! You're going to be HUGE! I mean, I thought it was coming out any time!"
Lovely. So from the perspective a 14 year old, I'm ready to pop and I'm not even quite 1/2 way there. I tell myself that maybe they haven't seen many pregnanat ladies, so they don't have a good reference. A well, at least I look peggers and not just fat.

Centaurus A X-Rays
February 9, 2004
Its core hidden from optical view by a thick lane of dust, the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A was among the first objects observed by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory. Perhaps the most striking feature of this Chandra false-color x-ray view is the jet, 30,000 light-years long. Blasting toward the upper left corner of the picture, the jet seems to arise from the galaxy's bright central x-ray source -- suspected of harboring a black hole with a million or so times the mass of the Sun. Centaurus A is also seen to be teeming with other individual x-ray sources and a pervasive, diffuse x-ray glow. Most of these individual sources are likely to be neutron stars or solar mass black holes accreting material from their less exotic binary companion stars. The diffuse high-energy glow represents gas throughout the galaxy heated to temperatures of millions of degrees C. At 11 million light-years distant in the constellation Centaurus, Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is the closest active

London: A psychiatrist testifying in the murder trial of Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius has said that the South African athlete has had an anxiety disorder since childhood and was 'anxious' about violent crime.
The double-amputee Paralympian denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year and claimed to have mistook the model and law graduate for an intruder.
According to the BBC, psychiatrist Merryll Vorster said that Pistorius' actions when he shot Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year 'should be seen in context of his anxiety', adding that he is more likely to respond to any threat with 'fight' rather than 'flight'.
Vorster further said that the anxiety disorder was the result of surgery at the age of 11 months to remove Pistorius' lower legs, which was a 'traumatic assault' for an infant at that age, adding that Pistorius felt remorse over Steenkamp's death and hence developed a depressive disorder.
The psychiatrist also said that the reactions of Pistorius in the early hours of February 14 last year would have been different to that of a 'normal, able-bodied person without generalised anxiety disorder'.
Vorster said generalised anxiety disorders are not uncommon, and were not signs of mental illness, adding that safety measures at Pistorius' home were 'out of proportion' to the threat of crime in South Africa.
She said that Pistorius' parents separated when he was six and his father was not a responsible parent, adding that his mother's death in March 2002 meant that he lost an 'emotional attachment figure'.

Ratio, proportion and percentages
The topics in this free course, Ratio, proportion and percentages, are concerned with dividing something into parts. For example, if there are 200 people living in a small village, and 50 of these are children, this could be expressed as a percentage:
25% of the village population are children;
or as a ratio:
one in every four people is a child or there is 1 child for every three adults;
or a proportion:
the proportion of children in the village population is a quarter.

Mediate wins Shaw Charity Classic by 7 strokes
The 50-year-old Mediate, the Allianz Championship winner in February in his first Champions Tour start, closed with a 7-under 64 at tree-lined Canyon Meadows for a seven-stroke victory.
"Calgary's awesome," Mediate said. The crowd is fantastic. Monster crowds this weekend and they obviously like us being here, so we're obviously coming back for a while. I will no matter what. They showed their support big time for all of us."
Mediate opened with a 63 and had a 64 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round. The six-time PGA Tour winner finished at 22-under 191, playing the back nine in 18 under, to tie the tour record for lowest total score in a 54-hole event.
"I liked it when I saw it," Mediate said about Canyon Meadows. "It's just that you've got to drive real straight. I like that feeling, not that I drove straight all the time, but most of the time I did. You can't do anything if you don't drive straight."
Tom Byrum had a 64 to finish second. Duffy Waldorf and Kirk Triplett tied for third at 14 under. Waldorf had a 65, and Triplett shot 67.
Fred Couples shot a 67 to tie for 10th at 12 under.
"It's exciting golf, but it's hard to believe," Couples said about Mediate. "This is not a pitch and putt golf course. If you could just tone down Rocco, you'd have a hell of a tournament out there. There's about 10 guys that could win. It's a good tournament."
Bill Glasson shot a course-record 62 to also finish at 12 under.
"I needed that round," Glasson said. "I've been playing miserably, and I kind of had a good feeling, not 62 feeling, but I've been working on a couple changes."

Every day I get links from Spain, Italy, Germany, and Australia. The first three frequently cause problems. Translation from German is particularly difficult.For example, a Google-translated headline on Welt Online reads ECB chief demonstrates German banker.A cyberspace friend, "EM" writes Google has a tough time with much in this one - title boils down roughly to "Draghi holds Bundesbank President Weidmann Up To Ridicule". Clearly that is an entirely different meaning. Also from the same article, a Google-translated paragraph reads "Thus, the investor inclined saw with great astonishment, as at the last ECB press conference Jens Weidmann by Mario Draghi and the Portuguese Vitor Constancio, the vice president of the ECB, namely the ridiculousness was abandoned. An absolute rarity in the history of the ECB."Here is a better translation from "EM"."Thus, the willing investor saw with great astonishment at the last ECB press conference Jens Weidmann was held up to ridicule by Mario Draghi and the Portuguese Vitor Constancio, the vice president of the ECB. An absolute rarity in the history of the ECB."The point of the article was the increasing isolation of Weidmann, up to the point of open ridicule by the president and vice-president of the ECB.With the help of Bran from Spain, Andrea from Italy, and "EM" from Germany I can frequently provide much better translations of foreign articles than I could otherwise. Of course, articles from Tony and others from Australia and Canada are appreciated but require no translation.Official DenialThe key point of the Welt Online story is the increasing isolation of Weidmann, including an official denial by the Bundesbank. Consider this quote from yesterday as reported by Bloomberg. ..."Nobody should try to create the impression that the Bundesbank or its president are isolated," German ECB Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen told the Frankfurter Rundschau in today's edition.Mish Translation: "The Bundesbank and its president Jens Weidmann are without a doubt isolated and essentially ignored. The printing press door is open and the presses ready for operation."However, there are a few open questions as follows.Open Questions
Spain has been devastated by round after round of tax hikes. Another one is on the way. Via Google-translate, please consider this non-modified translation of government shuffles new tax increases to reduce the deficit
Never two without three. The brutal tax increases approved by the Government of Mariano Rajoy in late 2011, increasing the income tax and the tax on savings , among other figures, and the recent increase launched last July, with the increase in VAT , Taxes -special rate you could add soon a new tax hike to reach the deficit target of 6.3% of GDP set for this exercise. This, with an eye on a country's total bailout, whose application could occur next September.Before formalizing the request for assistance, the government wants to make sure you are ready to meet the deficit target, and for that "is likely to take much more drastic measures they currently have," reveals a member of the Government, on Monday reported the newspaper El Pais. Among these, it weighs a new tax increases and a freeze on state pensions."The evolution of expenditure, with the cuts we have made, we have more or less clear, we do not know is how the revenues are going to go," admitted to the Government. In the first half of the year things did not go well: overall, tax revenues fell by 3.5% annual rate, far from expected for 2012 (increase of 4.3% per year).The Ministry of Finance will report to the Executive on the development of tax collection during the summer months, and "if revenues continue to fall, probably will have to return to raise taxes and cut spending again, although here and can hardly play more ", added the sources. Specifically, in its editorial, the paper notes that Prisa Economy Minister Luis de Guindos, thinks "there is no room for further cuts in spending," which means that additional adjustments would have to come from the side of income.Thus, the government may choose to remove the shelter deduction retroactively (about 6,000 million euros) or relief for contributions to private pension plans (2,000 million); impose verd penny and not only gas, but also to fuels; Excise reraise (alcohol, snuff ...) or implement new environmental taxes, and more. It is not ruled out anything.

Mumbai: Dilip Vengsarkar will not attend the selection committee meeting at Bangalore on Wednesday, December 5 — to pick the Indian team for the third Test at Bangalore and for the four-Test series in Australia — if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not unconditionally withdraw the seven-point guideline to be followed by the selection committee and also compensates him for not allowing to write columns.
According to sources, Vengsarkar spoke to three of his colleagues — Sanjay Jagdale, Ranjib Biswal and Venkatapathy Raju — of the stand he's going to take and thereafter informed the BCCI on Sunday night saying he would be glad to attend the selection committee meeting in Bangalore, only if it revokes the seven point guideline and compensates him for the loss of income from writing columns.
The BCCI would have to respond before the meeting takes place in Bangalore on Wednesday.
BCCI sources said that in the circumstances, a four-man selection committee may pick the team for the third Test against Pakistan and for the Test series in Australia. — Special Correspondent

Miranda Lambert has been taking her career outside of performing lately -- she's set to star in the upcoming film 'Something in the Water,' she runs a pet charity, and she recently opened a bed and breakfast in her hometown. But the singer says that her next step will not be opening her own record label.
The 2014 CMA Awards nominees were recently announced, but one big name was missing from the list. Despite having a huge touring year in this year alone, Jason Aldean's name was nowhere to be found.
Sony Music's catalog division, Legacy Recordings, is set to release a 21-disc collection in honor of Ronnie Milsap.
The 2014 CMA Awards nominees have been announced!

|Relation of childhood depressive and anxiety symptons to observed verbal behavior [abstract]
|McCadney, Amber
|University of Missouri-Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
verbal behavior
motor behavior
|University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research
|This study examined the relation of child depressive and anxiety symptoms to observed behaviors during a speech task. Preliminary work (Mavers and Bell, 2005; McCadney & Bell, 2005) suggests that child anxiety and depression are related to disruptions in rate of speech, utterance length, pauses in responding, voice volume, and clarity of speech content. The current study extends this prior work by expanding our behavioral observation measure and examining a larger sample of children. A sample of 200 third-sixth grade children completed self-report measures of anxiety and depression and a 5-minute speech task that was videotaped and later coded with the behavioral observation measure. Parents and teachers completed measures of child adjustment. The observation code was developed based on review of literature on verbal and motor behaviors associated with depression and anxiety. The current study focused on verbal behaviors: rate of speech (too fast, too slow), length of utterance (too short, too long), clarity, voice volume (too soft, too loud), and response latency (too long). Three trained, independent coders watched each child's speech and rated each behavior on a 0 to 2 scale (0 = not at all apparent, 1 = slightly/moderately apparent, 2 = definitely/consistently apparent). Analyses will examine associations of observed behavior to child, parent, and teacher reports of depression, anxiety, and adjustment. We hypothesize that child depression will be related to behaviors that reflect slowed or "dampened" responding (i.e., slow speech, short utterance length, soft voice volume, long response latency, and unclear speech), whereas anxiety will be related to disruptions in speech that may be either too much (i.e., rate of speech too fast, voice volume too loud) or too little (i.e., rate of speech too slow, voice volume too soft) as well as unclear.

backer, who was, I venture to paraphrase, the Albert to her
Victoria and the cornerstone of all her subsequent success
despite his comparatively early death.
Space forbids my recounting Mrs. Pennybacker's achieve-
ments as a clubwoman. She literally put Texas federated clubs
in the national spotlight, and became herself a famous person.
However, Mrs. Pennybacker's personality as Rebecca Rich-
mond reveals it is more important to me than her achieve-
ments. Extreme independence and feminine weakness; canny
prudence and stubborn courage; autocratic leadership and gentle
social charm-no generation of American women save at the
end of the nineteenth century has ever successfully combined
these paradoxical powers. Our grandmothers and mothers,
ladies to their fingertips, came close to eating their cake and
having it too. They were as characteristic of the pre-World
War I era as the dreams of world peace and the rise of women's
Students of history, foreign visitors to our shores, and be-
wildered young persons who want to understand the United
States of America today had better ponder the power and
achievements of women like Mrs. Pennybacker.
