It was a warm evening tonight at 40! It felt like a heat wave so John and I tackled a longer route. We ran down 202 and around the loop of Darbick road. The road was very dark, but it was nice to get off the tar for awhile. The run was a total of 3.95 miles. At the end I was going so slow that John had to stop jogging and walk beside me, but I kept plugging away. After the run, John and I headed to the grocery store for steak and we cooked up a tasty meal. Now I'm fighting sleepiness as I start the many hours of school work that I need to complete tonight.
3 runs in one week! (woo-hoo and a click of the heels!)

Happy new year! I figured I'd begin the new year of food blogging by concluding a set of food adventures to bring some sort of closure to the wild ride that was last year. I've still got a bunch of posts to put up so January will be a busy month. :) Here's the last and probably most fun food adventure we had during our stay in Victoria last summer during Nationals (for dragonboat). Eating at The Fish Store in Fisherman's Wharf was probably the most anticipated meal during that entire week. It wasn't just the food and atmosphere that made it special; it was the journey, literally.
Fisherman's Wharf
Victoria, B.C
The Fish Store (@flotngfishstore):
"When it comes to seafood, fresher is always better, and whether you are looking for some seafood to take home with you or a bite to eat on the dock you can rest assured that our location right here on Fisherman's Wharf means that only the freshest seafood is available. There are times of the year when many of the items in our store have never been on land…..until you walk off the dock with them!"
For hours, check their site. Right now, their winter hours are 11am - 4pm, 7 days.
This was our last day in the capital of B.C. (hands up if you thought Vancouver was the capital!). Like I mentioned in a previous post (Ferris Oyster), there were a few of us on the team that had been craving seafood and oysters since we landed in the west coast but abstained until after racing just in case our stomachs didn't agree with our appetites.
Well this was it. The day for oysters has come! To make the most of the day, we rented bikes (imma sound all valley girl here but only because the following statement is so true, "best idea ever!") and rode around the shoreline. We stopped at Breakwater to relax for a bit, eat our veg snacks and ponder about life. Tim's "life quotes" were horrendous, but entertaining. Ie. "Guys! Life—is like the waves, it goes in and out. You never know which way it'll go."
|A no-bullsh*t menu. Gotta love these.
While the sun wasn't out, it was still great to be doing something active and having the mobility of a bike meant more exploration! We arrived at the Fisherman's Wharf HUNGRY. I mean the five of us were ready to chow down. The Fish Store, like most other places that offer oysters, has a "Buck a Shuck" deal. We took advantage of that.
The marina where boats are docked. Not that cool? Well how about this: while we waited for our food, a boat pulled in, FRESHLY caught salmon were divided into containers and slid right into the back of The Fish Store. It doesn't get any fresher than that!
For a dollar a piece, you get salmon scraps to feed to seals. The tricky part is the game of patience you play while waiting for seals to come to you. Tim couldn't justify spending money on food that he wouldn't be eating so he spectated.
The ads for king crab outside the airport sat in the back of our minds until this moment, when we found out we could eat the fresh stuff, steamed to order. Can we have one please?! Sounded like a fantastic idea at the time, you'll find out why not so much in a bit…
Our loot! We were pretty sensible. Some oysters, tacos, chowder (that came with some focaccia), and CRAB.
3 Way Salmon Chowder – local salmon fillet, smoked salmon and candied salmon in a creamy broth with onion, potato and corn (12 oz, $7)
So good. If I could, I'd bring a vat of this home with me.
"Our soups are made right here on the dock from the freshest ingredients. Focaccia bread is served with the 12 and 16 ounce bowls"
"Buck a Shuck" – between 3pm-5pm, $1 feature oysters!
These weren't showstopping oysters, but they sorta hit the spot? Got a few bits of shell and grit here and there which didn't help. Oyster craving—not fully satiated.
Fish Tacos (soft corn tortilla, house smoked tomato salsa, shredded cabbage, citrus cream, fresh cilantro and lime
Salmon (1 pc, $5)
Pacific Cod (1 pc, $5)
These were good and grilled well. I really liked that they kept it simple and didn't try to do anything super fancy to the fresh fish. Sometimes simplicity is the best way!
Steamers ("shellfish gently steamed and served when just done, accompanied by focaccia bread")
Local Dungeness Crab (MP, it came up to around $9.50pp)
This turned out to be a lot pricier than any of us anticipated. Seems like it was around $20/lb. That could've been rationalized if you get the WHOLE crab, head, brains and all but nope, just the legs. What a downer. I know you be using that in your stocks but we paid for it and we're Asian, so we're not scared of eating it/making our own stock with it! Also, how unimpressive is this?! :(
Verdict: A few hits and misses. That 3 way salmon chowder is still on my mind for all the right reasons while the rip off that were the crab legs sits as a poor reminder of how the meal ended. Still, I'd return if I ever find myself in Victoria again because besides the slight crab hiccup, the food is all prepared with integrity. Also, it seems like you can buy live dungeness crab from them for $6/lb. Will do that next time! And I really do like their motto, "fresher is always better!"

Hundreds attend Temecula hospital job fair
With a big smile, Downs said she's excited about her prospects and thrilled at the idea of working about eight miles from her home.
"I could ride my kid's skateboard to work!" she said.
The 140-bed, five-story tower that's under construction is the first phase of a hospital complex that could include another five-story tower, which would add another 100 plus beds, a cancer center, a fitness center and medical office buildings.
The Temecula hospital project was delayed for years because of legal challenges and setbacks related to battles that pitted Southwest Healthcare System, a subsidiary of Penn.-based Universal Health Services, against the state.
In 2011, Universal removed the project from Southwest's control and started construction, a move that was heartily cheered by Temecula council members who had been frustrated by Southwest.
Southwest, which cleared up licensing concerns with the state and opened the expansions that had been stalled, continues to manage hospitals in Murrieta and Wildomar.
Marcia Jackson, a hospital spokesperson, said Universal was thrilled with the turnout for the five-hour event.
"Oh my gosh, we're very excited. We feel so fortunate to have so many people interested, so many good people," she said.
In the coming months, Jackson said the hospital would be hosting more recruitment events, including a narrowly focused job fair for recent nursing graduates.
When the hospital opens, it will employ more than 400 people, a mix of full-time and part-time employees.
Jackson said the hospital was hoping to hire about 40 people at Friday's event.
"This is just the beginning of our hiring process," she said.

Officials in the Pheasants Forever Chapter 630 are hard at work fundraising to create an endowment for assisting in this year's Youth Outdoor Adventure scheduled for Sept. 16-18.
"It all started with a dream to take local terminally ill or permanently disabled youth on outdoor adventures," said Jane Bryndel, a Pheasants Forever Chapter 630 member and treasurer also charged with publicity responsibilities.
"We feel we are ready for our first event this September. These events will be a unique experience to the selectee, and will provide a fulfilling and memorable experience to the family."
The Jay Township Volunteer Fire Company, which serves both Jay and Benezette townships, is attempting to proactively combat its declining membership by holding an informational meeting for individuals who may be interested in volunteering in an emergency or non-emergency setting. The meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the township fire hall on Cleveland Street.
According to fire chief John Schneider, the declining membership is due both to members retiring and to a general loss of interest in the department by the community.
Indoor performance groups from Elk County Catholic and St. Marys Area high schools turned in impressive performances during the culmination of their seasons at the Atlantic Coast Championships recently held in Wildwood, N.J.
Each SMA group finished in the top 10 of their class, with the dance team bringing home top honors and a championship banner for the eighth time in nine years. The colorguard placed eighth out of 13 units, while the drumline placed ninth out of 21 units.
Letter carriers in St. Marys and Fox Township will not only be delivering the mail this Saturday; they'll also be collecting food donations from residents for "Stamp Out Hunger," the country's largest annual food drive. The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), in conjunction with the United States Postal Service, sponsors the annual food drive, which collects nonperishable food items that help to feed the hungry in all 50 states.
Computer Games 4 Fun, an organization founded earlier this year by Ridgway resident Bob Schloder, is seeking old computers that can be refurbished, filled with games, and given to area residents at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or those in similar situations as a means of mental stimulation. In recent months, Schloder has already provided computers for a few residents at Silver Creek Terrace and Elk Towers, both in St. Marys, and Ridgmont in Ridgway.
The St. Marys Area School District Board of School Directors approved numerous business items Monday evening during their regular meeting.
Among the items approved were increases in lunch prices for the 2011-12 school year, including a five-cent increase for elementary student and 25 cents for middle and high school students, teachers and a la carte menu purchases.
The Kentucky Derby may be over, but anyone who feels the need for speed can enter into an entirely different kind of race for a good cause that will take place this Saturday. The second annual "Kick the Crap out of MS Outrageous Outhouse Race," held on Market Street in downtown St. Marys, will feature the best outdoor thrones Elk County residents can come up with to help raise money for local sufferers of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Year after year, local high schools host a mock crash prior to their proms in hopes of deterring students from consuming alcohol, and more importantly, not getting behind the wheel of a vehicle with someone who has been drinking.
This year is no different, as Elk County Catholic HIgh School played host to the sobering event, which took place Tuesday afternoon in the school's parking lot.
The St. Marys Golf Club will be holding an open house on Saturday to provide area residents with an opportunity to check out the pro shop and golf course, which are now open to the public. Previously the St. Marys Country Club, the club was private until late last year. With the public now invited to join, golf club employees felt that it would be a good time to hold an open house so people can check out the course and visit the pro shop.

Our motto, flowers before bread, reflects our belief that living is more than a roof over our heads and food on the table. In addition to offering material and physical support, we believe that living requires the presence of people who care about us and about whom we care. Living requires the little touches that bring joy, like flowers, music and shared laughter. Flowers before bread is the cornerstone of all of our year round programs.
Getting help with my medical appointments is vital, but I look at those beautiful yellow flowers and I remember the visit. I touch them and smell them and I know that someone is thinking of me. When I come home I see them and I know that I am not alone. – Michiko, 80 years old

RENOWNED Ndola-based gospel out-fit DMK's latest hit track worry not has been short-listed for best gospel video to be presented at the KORA Awards slated for December 29th in Abidjan Ivory Coast.
This a feat which no Zambian gospel music group has ever achieved.
The KORA award for best gospel video will be contested by groups from five countries namely Zambia, Uganda, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa.
This came to light in a n interview with the trio Davis, Mark and Kelvin (DMK) with Times entertainment who stormed the Zambian gospel music scene in 2003 when they released their debut album Shimwitwa Pakakala.
'"Our first album was released in 2003 and is called Shimwitwa pakakala which is the title track and also includes Fintu fikabafye bwino among others, " they narrated.
Shimwitwa pakakala became an instant fan's favourite gospel song and was always requested for whenever the trio performed at concerts and other musical functions.
The trio which is best known for its live stage performances then embarked on its next album favour which was released in early 2010.
In the same year favour was nominated for the award of best music video at the year end's Znbc organised Born and Bred music awards.
"Favour equally had a good response from our fans and we put some songs on YOUtube enabling people in countries such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States of America to listen to our songs, " they said.
The album was also shortlisted at both the Mukuba awards in 2010 and Radio Christian voice music song of the year awards held in 2011.
The trio who have just finished working on third project "worry not" aim to use the KORA awards as a platform to interact and learn from internationally renowned artistes and producers who have taken gospel music to another level.
Apart from performing locally DMK has also performed in other countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Democratic
Republic of Congo and recently Namibia where they performed in front of a capacity crowd of 1800 people at that the Namibian University.
With their third project due for release in three weeks, and the possibility of winning the converted best African gospel video award beckoning the sky can only be the limit for DMK.

Enormous collection of Nepalese beware of the dog signs? Why not.
Can we just take a minute to close our eyes and give thanks for the internet? Once that's done, have a look around this collection of naively brilliant Beware of The Dog signs from Nepal. These little nuggets of creativity warn trespassers not just of dogs, but of horses, cats, enlightened chickens and even spiders. The woman behind this awe-inspiring collection is Michelle Page, whose interest in the signs goes beyond their charming aesthetic.
"Michelle opened her business in 2007 after noticing inexpensive digitized computer-generated graphics were beginning to replace hand-painted signs. She feared the art and expertise the artists employ would soon be lost to modern technology."
The good news is they're all for sale, the bad news is that you're going to have to pick a favourite. Good luck!

This 1,200-acre reservoir is nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range, just west of Forest Grove. Hagg Lake has long been a favorite still- water retreat for Multnomah and Washington county residents. It reaches depths of over 100 feet and is well-stocked with rainbow trout, some reaching 7 pounds. Smallmouth bass and brown bullhead are also present. Many a young angler has landed his or her first fish at Hagg Lake!
There are two boat launches on the lake, and several picnic grounds. If the fish aren't biting, Hagg Lake also offers great waterskiing, personal watercraft riding and other boating pursuits. It's also surrounded by 15 miles of biking and hiking trails, where you might encounter the elk, deer, coyote or even bobcat that call these woods home. The mixture of habitats around Hagg Lake attracts a variety of bird life, including nesting pairs of bald eagles and ospreys.

Looking Ahead
WHO: No. 3 Georgia (11-1, 7-1 SEC) vs. No. 2 Alabama (11-1, 7-1 SEC)
WHAT: SEC championship.
WHEN: 4 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Atlanta.
RADIO: Albany— 1450 AM or 103.5 FM; Americus — 98.7 FM or 1390 AM; Donalsonville — 106.3 FM; Moultrie 93.9 FM or 1300 AM.
LINE: Tide by 7 1/2 points.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — That running back duo in the Southeastern Conference Championship game has been punishingly effective all season.
Pick a team — No. 3 Georgia or No. 2 Alabama — the description fits.
Bulldogs freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall roll into Saturday's game with 1,858 combined yards and 22 touchdowns.
The Crimson Tide counters with junior Eddie Lacy, freshman T.J. Yeldon and their collective 1,848 yards and 24 TDs.
The stats hardly settle the debate of which tailback tandem is better.
"They've got two great running backs," Tide cornerback Dee Milliner said. "We've got two, three great running backs here."
Well, that's no help.
There's not an easy answer. Both backfield combinations have been terrific. If one player gets winded, the other goes in. If one gets a little dinged up, no problem.
Fresh legs and no rest for the weary defenses.
It has been Alabama's formula since Nick Saban arrived. The two-tailback system has flourished with 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and 2011 finalist Trent Richardson, and both gained 700-plus yards as freshmen. Yeldon has already surpassed the first-season production of either of those two first-round NFL draft picks with 847 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Saban said the system is effective if the backs present defenses with different styles, like Gurley and Marshall.
"Todd is a little bit like our guys in a way," he said. "He's big, physical, can run inside, can run outside. He'll make you miss, but has power. Their second guy is a very, very good back in all those regards, but he's a very fast guy."
Gurley has been the most prolific of the bunch. He is second in the SEC with 1,138 yards while he and Lacy's 14 touchdowns are tied for tops among running backs. Lacy has 1,001 yards.
Georgia linebacker Christian Robinson said Yeldon and Gurley compare favorably.
"They both run really hard," Robinson said. "When I look at Todd I just see lower body. You know, people try to hit him high a lot of times, and he just keeps turning his legs and gets those extra yards and makes a lot of people miss.
"What I've seen of Yeldon, he has the speed to get around the edge. He turns up a lot on people that don't think he's as fast as he really is. You've got to hold the edge of the defense or else he's gone. I think Todd has speed as well. He's obviously looking a little bit faster. But I would say Todd's a little bit bigger and more of a bruiser."
Georgia's backs have the clear advantage in one area: Nickname. No. 3 Gurley and No. 4 Marshall (720 yards, eight touchdowns) have been dubbed "Gurshall" after Herschel Walker, who led the Bulldogs to the 1980 national title as a freshman. Their numbers just happen to smush into his 34, and Walker has praised the two freshmen.
"That's great, to have one of the best players to ever come through college football to say great things about me," Gurley said. "But I've got to keep working."
He's not into any comparisons with the former superstar, either.
"We're not trying to be like nobody else," Gurley said. "But it's a cool thing for the fans."
Gurley is one touchdown away from matching Walker's 15 as a freshman. He and Marshall have already blown by the 1,739 yards and 14 combined touchdowns by Arkansas freshmen and future first-rounders Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in 2005.
"Playing as a true freshman in the SEC, two guys, that's enough said right there — at the University of the Georgia," Alabama defensive end Damion Square said. "I know they've got some big-time guys there. For those guys to come in and play early and often, that makes them great. Those guys run hard. They're going to make you pay when you make mistakes. Come in and tackling those guys, they're going to make a 2-yard gain a 7-yard gain. You've got to be really fundamentally sound when you're playing against those guys."
Square passed on the question of which tailback tandem is the best.
"I play for the University of Alabama. So…" he said.
Maybe Saturday's game will provide a more conclusive answer.

MATHISTON – It took an intentional foul late in the fourth quarter for the Eupora High School boys' basketball team to beat East Webster.
The Eagles managed to sneak out of Mathiston Tuesday night with a 51-49 win.
With less than 4 seconds remaining in the game. Derrick Jones of Eupora pulled down a rebound. In attempt to send him to the free-throw line, Charles Guyton of East Webster fouled him in a way the referees deemed an intentional foul.
Jones knocked down one shot and with 0.3 seconds remaining the Eagles got the ball back and ran out the clock.
"That fourth quarter was a dog fight," Eupora head coach Bryant Thomas said. "As long as my kids kept fighting, I kept believing in them and I never doubted that we could get out of here with a win."
The Eagles jumped out to an early lead as they entered the second quarter leading 19-4.
However, the Wolverines did not go away and made a game of it the for the other three quarters.
"We just got a slow start," East Webster head coach Corey Stidham said. "We let them get up 15, 16. I told them we just have to fight it off a little bit at a time. That first quarter they out-hustled us, they got loose balls, and they got offensive boards. Things that we can not let happen for us to win basketball games. We have to have all loose balls, all rebounds, and things like that. We have to do all the little things. And we let them do that the first quarter. We took care of that the other three quarters, but we have to play four quarters to win a basketball game."
Getting a big lead and not being able to slam the door, seems to be a constant for Eupora.
"That seems to be the story all year," Thomas said. "We jump out on people. We are trying to get some consistency where they understand you have to sustain long drives like a football game."
The Wolverines managed to cut the lead down to eight at 29-21 at the intermission. They trailed by 10 points after three quarters.
The closest East Webster got was one at 50-49, before the intentional foul.
"I told them they got to keep their heads up," Stidham said. "They fought their tails off to get themselves back up. We needed another 30 seconds. If we had another 30 seconds, we could have got it done. We couldn't make free throws or shots around the basket. There is going to be nights like that, but you've got to find a way to win. We almost got there, but we didn't and that is something we've got to be able to do."
Although, his team did not close the door like he hoped, Thomas was glad to get the win.
"(Tuesday) actually I am proud of them because we have been in this situation really a number of times this year, and (I am proud) just for them to pull through, have some success, and see a smile on their faces," he said.
The Wolverines were led by Guyton with 15 points. Ty Hendrix added 11 points. East Webster dropped to 7-12 for the year.
Jones led all scorers and Eupora with 29 points. The Eagles improved to 4-13 for the year.
Girls Game
East Webster 44,
Eupora 28
MATHISTON – It was the tale of two defenses in the girls' game.
The Lady Wolverines only allowed eight points in the first half, but managed to score only 17 points themselves.
"We played OK," East Webster head coach Mandy Fondren said. "I wouldn't say we played great tonight. We missed a lot of opportunities with the fast break and we didn't at times know who we were guarding."
The Lady Eagles led 6-4 early in the first quarter. That was the last time they led the ball game.
The Lady Wolverines ended the quarter on a 8-0 run and never looked back.
There was only eight points total in the second quarter. The Lady Eagles managed to score first, but the Lady Wolverines ended it on a 6-0 run.
"I thought overall we played pretty decent defense," Eupora head coach Curtis Ford said. "We turned the ball over too much. And that is one thing we have been working on. We are trying to keep from turning the ball over a whole lot."
Although her team played great defense, there was some offense that was missing. Fondren believed her team played the tempo of its opponent.
"We were turning the ball over," she said. "We wouldn't attack the basket and we wouldn't look for our tall girls down low. We weren't playing basketball we normally play. We kind of were playing like they were playing. We let them set the tone of the game."
But at the end of the day it was a district game, and a school that is spitting distance away.
"I'm pleased with the win," Fondren said. "It's a district game."
Jaliyaah Patterson led Eupora with 16 points. Both the Eagles and Lady Eagles will be back in action Friday night when they travel to Pisgah.
East Webster was led by Quantisha Patterson with 20 points. Jada Washington added 14 points. Both Wolverines squads will travel to Greenville St. Joseph's Friday night for their next game.

Serving up a treat
The quality of Andy Murray's first serve bodes well for his semi-final with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, says Barry Cowan.
Last Updated: 05/07/12 10:24am
Andy Murray's impetus is building very nicely.
He had to dig deep to beat David Ferrer in the quarters but when he did, the quality and ruthlessness that he'll need if he is to win the title were there.
I've never seen Andy serve as well as he did in the fourth and final set - especially in a match as big as this. He was 90 per cent for first serve points won and wrapped up victory in impressive fashion.
If Andy can start his semi-final against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the same rousing way, we could be in for something special.
The onus is on Andy to maintain that high level of quality for the rest of the tournament - something he could not achieve at the start of the quarter-final.
As expected, Ferrer came out and didn't hold back; the Spaniard served for the second and deservedly so. Up to that point he was by far the better player and should have won the opening set by a greater distance.
Sadly for him he choked when he had Murray in his sights. The 10th game of the second set was by far his worst of the match and then he squandered a 5-2 lead in the tie-break to allow Murray back in.
From that point Andy's level simply got better and better. For quite a few years now I've been urging him to play with greater aggression and when he did he reaped the rewards.
Although Andy has a decent record against Tsonga, the Frenchman is a better player than Ferrer; he's stronger and presents more of a threat.
I'm a little worried that Andy has barely served and volleyed during the tournament because it may well be that he needs to revert to that if Plan A comes unstuck. Sometimes you need to revert to other options.
The same is relevant of Federer, who still appears reluctant to serve and volley in some of the bigger matches - his match against Djokovic at the French being one example. It will be interesting to see if that changes in Friday's semi-final match between the two.
When your opponent is playing better than you then you have to come up with something different. Andy did just that against Ferrer; he came forward more and started to hit his forehand much better.
Tsonga is a more flamboyant player who is justifying the billing I've been giving him. He served fantastically well at the French, where he had a great run, and he's confident and dangerous.
Yes, there will be huge pressure on Murray on Friday but expectation will also weigh heavily on Tsonga because Wimbledon is his best Slam.
After beating Federer in last year's quarter-finals he didn't quite hold it together when he was in a good position against Djokovic in the last four.
He realises that he has a great chance of making this year's final and I'm sure he'd much rather face Murray in the semi-finals than Djokovic or Federer.
Tsonga will try to rattle Murray with his serve - he hit 17 aces in despatching Phillip Kohlschreiber - and won't walk away from the court wondering what might have been.
It will be interesting to see what sort of tactics Murray adopts on the return of serve. Personally, I'd like to see him be really assertive. Anything else will give Tsonga the chance to get on the front foot and that's when he's at his most dangerous.
The two other semi-finalists - Federer and Djokovic - wasted little time in booking their place in the last four.
I had no doubt that Djokovic would steam-roller Florian Mayer but on paper Federer's match with Mikhail Youzhny looked less clear-cut given the Swiss' back problems against Xavier Malisse.
I didn't doubt he would win - as you'd expect given Federer had beaten Youzhny 13 times out of 13 - but he needed to put in a performance and he certainly did.
Federer looked really assured in everything he did and now he faces a genuine test of his mettle. If he doesn't beat Djokovic on Friday, then the baton has well and truly passed to the Serb because Djokovic will have beaten Federer in all the big matches on all surfaces.
Although Federer was my tip to win the title at the start of the tournament - and my heart tells me to stick with him because this is his court and he's won a lot of close matches here - it's clear that Djokovic is playing the better tennis. The World No 1 looks so confident and secure in everything he does right now.
This could just be the ultimate challenge for both players.

Drivers hope to put brakes on 'tax' plans
Posted: April 30, 2013|
AN online petition against residents' parking zones in Bristol has collected hundreds of signatures in just a few weeks.
It was set up by teacher Michael Owen who lives in Redland and believes the cost of the permits is another form of council tax.
Mr Owen told the Bristol Post: "There is no problem where I live but I am against residents' parking zones as a matter of principle. I think there are alternatives which do not involve a tax, charge or fee on residents who already pay enough in council tax."
Mr Owen and his partner have a car each which he said they can park easily in Harcourt Road where they live.
He said: "When I set up the petition, it soon became apparent that people who were giving their support are from all over the city."
The petition has now collected more than 300 names. Another, which supports a residents' parking zone in Redland, has collected only 87.
Mr Owen said: "When a scheme was introduced in Richmond, London, it seemed pretty innocuous as the cost of a permit was only £30. But now the permits are linked to the amount of carbon emissions from your vehicle which has led to big increases and I can imagine they might decide to do something like that in Bristol.
"I do not see why they cannot have a curfew system like they use in Redbridge and Woodford in London where there is no cost to residents."
He said in those districts, parking is banned for an hour in the morning and afternoon which stops commuters driving to the outskirts of London and catching the Tube for the rest of their journey.
Mr Owen is concerned that none of the political parties have had anything to say about the introduction of residents' parking zones across the city to stop commuters clogging up residential streets during the day.
His petition can be seen at http://epetitions.bristol.gov.uk/epetition_core/view/HERPS#div_sigs – it runs until Monday, September 30.
He is hoping to collect more than 3,500 signatures which would trigger a debate among councillors at City Hall, College Green.
Bristol mayor George Ferguson has revealed plans to introduce 18 residents' parking zones to cover most of the city.
They would include the city centre and extend to Bishopston and Ashley Down in the north, Totterdown and Windmill Hill in the south, Bower Ashton and Ashton to the west and Easton and St Philip's to the east.
The rest would be in Cotham North, Redland, St Andrew's, Montpelier, St Paul's, Spike Island, Bedminster East, Bedminster West, Southville, Cliftonwood and Hotwells, Clifton Village, Clifton West, Clifton East and St Werburgh's.

Cooking and Baking
Oil-less salad dressing?
So last night I was making a dressing for a salad with delicious veggies from our CSA.
Then I realized that we had completely ran out of all oils in our house - no olive oil, no canola. Being the lazy person that I am (and not wanting to buy crappy olive oil from the bodega), I used mostly mayo and a bunch of vinegar but it was a bit too thick. I felt like water would just make it too runny so I didn't try it.
Is there anything else that I could use in place of oil in a dressing? This is more of a "what to do in case of an emergency" kind of question than "this is a huge problem". :)

to 1888. Arnon was in Miles City, Montana
beginning a sheep ranching business and John
was in Rosendale, Missouri farming with his
father, David H. Laney and trying to figure out
what to do next. I think you will enjoy these letters

What ultimately differentiates highly successful people from everyone else? The one common denominator of all successful people is a routine built on good habits. The most successful people in any field - the most successful athletes, lawyers, politicians, physicians, business leaders, musicians, and sales people, those who are the best at what they do have one thing in common: good habits. Habits are that important. Up to 90 percent of your everyday behavior is based on habit. Nearly all of what you do each day, every day, is simply habit. The techniques outlined in this book provide easy-to-implement action steps to help you effectively change bad habits and establish good habits that will make you more successful. The keys to habit change is what this book delivers. It explains why the difference between those who are successful and everyone else is not found in differences in intelligence, talent, or work ethic; but rather in habits. It explores why habits are so powerful and how we can harness this power to reach our God-given potential and obtain a higher degree of success. The wisdom contained in this book will empower those who read it to transform their lives and become more successful.

Danny's Barbecue - Cary/Morrisville, NC 05/25/2013
New bike, gorgeous weather, holiday weekend.... barbecue, right? Well, that's what I thought. Couple guys at work had been talking about a place not too far away called Danny's Barbecue and speaking pretty highly of it. In retrospect, I should have paid attention to the fact that:
A) they're both from Florida
B) well, that should probably have been enough.
Danny's Barbecue
Three locations. I went to this one:
9561 Chapel Hill Rd
Morrisville, NC 27560
The fact that all their locations are in or very close to Cary, should have been another giveaway about what was to come. Cary is often referred to as an acronym for Containment Area for Relocated Yankees. But, I went anyway.
Got to the address and it's a f'ng strip mall... Tucked neatly between the Food Lion and the Dollar Tree, I found it. No place to get a pic of the bike in front and honestly, I didn't want to just yet...
The menu proudly proclaimed that they were voted the best in the area by a local TV station's viewers for one month in 1997. Really? Is this damning by faint praise or what???
What the hell... I'm here, right? And the menu also says "Lean meat, great sauce", so, you know, how bad could it be? Since barbecue is lean meat anyway, isn't that a fuzz redundant???
First thing I notice is that they don't serve hush puppies, but "texas toast" with their barbecue. Who the hell thunk this up? And they have something called "fried corn". I asked about it and it's a half ear of corn on the cob dropped in the fryer. Wondering at this point if I should just walk next door and get some chicken or something from the Food Lion cold case.
Here's an interior shot. It's bigger than this, but just imagine four copies of this pic arranged in a neat strip mall format:
Their sauce selection. Remember, it's "great sauce". So there.
Okay. I'm here. Go for it. Ordered the Barbecue Plate with fries (yeah, I know...) and green beans. Sorry, not feeling adventurous enough to try and slug down fried corn on the cob.
The food.
Texas toast. Seriously? And just some thick sliced white bread that had been toasted on one side a while ago? Not only was it not hush puppies, but it was the lamest excuse for "texas toast" I've seen anywhere. That frozen crap from the grocery store laughs at this.
Green beans. Canned and likely nuked. Not even the good brand of canned, but the generic crap that comes loaded with stems and other garbage. Passingly edible, but nothing more.
Barbecue. Simply, the most bland excuse for barbecue I've had. Ever. Completely tasteless. You know how meat you've cooked previously tastes when it comes reheated out of the microwave a couple days later? Yep. It had a vague barbecue-like look and texture to it, but nobody that actually enjoys it would mistake this for it. I'd expect better if McDonalds ever started selling Pork McBBQ or the like. Seriously.
The sauce. Four different ones. All unlabeled, but two were vinagery and two were ketchupy. Both the vinegar ones lacked even a vinegar taste and were indistinguishable from each other even though they looked a good deal different. The ketchupy ones - one was, well, ketchupy and the other was the same but with some drug store generic heat added to it. One word covers all four: awful.
Fries. Wow. This is going to sound odd, but they were the highlight of the meal. Frozen to begin with, of course, but cooked perfectly. Hot, crisp and tasty. Went well with the actual ketchup provided. Maybe that was the "tasty sauce" they mentioned. When I looked around and realized that everyone that worked there, friendly as they may be, probably got their food experience in a fast food joint, it made sense.
Oh yeah, the tea was watery.
Even if I had been able to get a picture of my bike with the sign/entrance, I wouldn't post it. This place did nothing but make me try to figure out the worst place I'd been to for barbecue. Didn't matter though. This is the new winner in that category. Hands down. By far.

Knowing a loved one is having trouble hearing can be frustrating, especially when holiday gatherings are right around the corner. The good news is there's still time to get help for family members with hearing loss before the festivities begin.
The majority of adults lose their hearing slowly over a long period of time, which may make them unaware of their impairment. Signs of hearing loss include:
- Listening to the television or radio at high volume.
- Continually asking people to repeat themselves.
- Displaying difficulty understanding women and children when they speak.
- Contributing inappropriately to the conversation or answering questions incorrectly.
- Displaying difficulty hearing in noisy environments, such as restaurants or shopping malls.
Children exhibit similar symptoms including:
- Tilting their head to one side when listening.
- Displaying balance issues, especially when trying to sit or stand.
- Failing to be startled by, or turn toward, loud noise.
- Failing to respond when their name is called.
- Exhibiting slow, delayed, or limited speech.
- Watching your lips when you speak.
While it may be tempting to stage an intervention during the family get together this holiday season, opt for a more private conversation instead. Tell parents that children with untreated hearing loss often suffer from isolation and depression due to their inability to communicate effectively with peers and family members. Let adult family members know you're concerned about their health and safety since their impairment may mean a decreased ability to hear important warning signals such as smoke alarms or railroad crossing warnings.
Finally, if they're older than 65, let them know they're in good company! According to the National Institute for Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), one of every three Americans over the age of 65 has some degree of hearing loss.
Regardless of age, the first step to healthier hearing is to see your family doctor. Once they rule out medical issues for the cause of your loved one's hearing loss, such as ear infections or earwax buildup, they may refer you to an audiologist, ENT, or otolaryngologist for a thorough hearing evaluation.
Fortunately, most age-related hearing loss can be improved with the use of hearing aids. Depending upon the type and severity of the hearing loss, some individuals may be able to walk out of a hearing aid clinic with a new set of hearing aids the same day. If the instruments must be custom made, it can take as long as three weeks to receive them from the manufacturer. Regardless, the sooner you get started, the better the chances everyone will be participating fully in the family conversations this holiday season.

BURNS-HOFFMAN and ASSOCIATES:
We provide a unique consulting service to Life Insurers and Reinsurers; Legal Firms; Employer Groups and Pension Funds throughout South Africa.
Our business has offices based in Cape Town and Johannesburg and an Associate office in Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Burns-Hoffman and Associates offers services and skills to its clients developed over the past 20+ years of the team having worked in the professional field of Occupational Therapy; across a wide spectrum of Life Insurance and Reinsurance risk management; specialised training and MVA / medical negligence and other litigation matters, including those arising from incapacity issues as set out under Labour Law.
The combination of skills and experience inherent in the BH&A team is further enhanced by its association with selected professional Associates in the medical, legal, actuarial and relevant risk (and other) training fields.
BH&A has developed a reputation for being competitively priced, as well as for providing one of the fastest turn around times in the South Africa Life Industry in respect of independent claims consulting, as well as on functional capacity evaluations.
There is no incapacity and/or claims related matter that is too small or too large for the BH&A team, nor is the list of services finite. Clients often call for an individually tailored service, which is then developed and provided especially for their particular needs.
Our association with AR Training Group (a black-empowered SME Group), provides BH&A with constant exposure to market training and qualification standards, including current assessment criteria and INSETA requirements. Regular contact and correspondence with local and overseas markets; frequent project work with and alongside Tontine Advisory (Legal Associates); a keen interest in the Constitution and Human Rights issues The Institute for Accountability in Southern Africa and keeping up with relevant Case Law; the accreditation held with Learning to Lead and Connemara (Business coaching specialists) along with media exposure of BH&A via seminar work/publication of articles - all contribute to the fact that there is no consulting firm able to offer the same expertise and/or spectrum of professional services as offered by Burns-Hoffman and Associates.
As a result of the case management role Elise Burns-Hoffman plays for a large international clothing manufacturer in South Africa, BH&A has linked up with Northstar Solutions in rolling out a Financial Literacy Program to all levels of employees in different work environments. Case management in this context is not limited to incapacity matters only, but rather stretches across a wide spectrum of issues faced by employees in the personal and working lives.

New Gaerne G-Midland Adventure Boot
View Single Post
Joined: Jan 2007
Location: Pacific NW
Oddometer: 1,945
Okay, I have revisited this thread.
I currently have a pair of SG10s and a pair of Balance Oiled - I LOVE them both. I use the SG10s for off road, and racing. and the Balance for commuting.
However I am seeking something in between protection wise, for Adventure rides. The G-Midland seems like a good option. I really wish they used a 3rd strap up top instead of Velcro.
I have some questions regarding sizing of the G-Midland.
I wear a 10 / 44.5 in the "Balance" and they fit great.
Based on your comment below, should I go up a size?
Originally Posted by

Most Gaerne off road boots are a little generous. This includes the MX and the trials boots. These fit more like the G-Adventures, which are slightly smaller in the toebox area. When we initially began shipping the G-ADVs, we got returns from many people with other Gaerne boots, that felt they were too small. Since then we randomly 2x check customer orders on their size choices, and returns are now minimal.
It is never a good idea to think of fit in 2 dimensional terms (bigger or smaller) but generally speaking I would say these are about 1/2 - 1/3 size small.
To fit Gaernes, we always suggest you take an average of the EU (NOT USA size) size of 3 - 4 pair of your casual, athletic, or hiking shoes (NOT other moto boots) and cross against this:
8 = 42
9 = 43
10 = 44.5
11 = 46
12 = 47
13 = 48
I suggest you stay at or preferrably under the EU size. Don't egregiously order larger than normal. FWIW I am a 46.5, and wear an 11/46 in SG10s, SG12s, GX1s, and Balance. In these and in the G-ADV I am a 12/47.
As with all motorcycle boots, we recommend staying
large on sizing, and adding a performance insole. Insoles make a huge improvement in fit and comfort, and have the net effect of slightly reducing the size.
Turns out I like the rain, easier to Spin, Skid and Slide.

The five-course concentration in Ecotherapy integrates perspectives from the following areas as a theoretical underpinning for an approach to practicing counseling within the larger counseling profession:
- Ecopsychology
- Deep ecology
- Ecofeminism
- Ecology
- Nature-based experiential learning
- Historical and current perspectives on indigenous people's world views
- Earth-based traditional healing practices
- Eastern philosophy
- Anthropological study of ritual and rites of passage
- Transpersonal psychology
- Consciousness theory
The program applies this integration of perspectives in the context of current wilderness therapy and ecotherapy practices. It includes an emphasis on experiential learning, group work, and facilitation of insight as therapeutic techniques, as well as an examination of issues of transfer of learning.
Unlike other ecopsychological educational approaches, this program requires a commitment to application as a portion of practicum and internship, and as evidenced by records of the student's practice and experiences in the field. Students will be required to document competence in the practice of ecotherapy skills under clinical supervision in a clinical setting as a portion of their training. Because the program is Limited-Residency, accessing opportunities for application of these skills is a significant expectation to be fulfilled by the student.
Emphasis placed on the transpersonal nature of ecotherapy and the significance of attachment theory in explaining pathology in an ecopsychological model.
Students interested in wilderness; adventure venues; horticultural; broad based animal-assisted or nature- based settings; and counselors aspiring to consult to industry in the area of ecopsychological health and environmental design will find this program worthy.
Courses (15 semester credits)
- Foundations of Ecopsychology
- History and Principles of Ecopsychology
- Wilderness as a Healing Environment
- Risk Management in Ecotherapy Practice
- Standards of Practice and Ethics in Ecotherapy
Students who have already attained a master's degree in a field of mental health practice may apply to join the program and work toward a certificate in Ecopsychology. This requires completion of five 3-credit courses, and successful participation in two optional intensive workshops.

Kaduna — Nigeria requires 17,000 fully qualified electrical technicians to produce 20,000 megawatts of electricity, statistics have shown.
The President of Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Engineer Ibikunle Ogunbayo said Nigeria is barely producing 2,000 technicians in a year.
Engineer Ogunbayo said this in an interview at the end of a one day workshop in Kaduna for Engineering Regulation Monitoring (ERM) chief inspectors, ERM desk officers and COREN zonal officers from the north-west geo-political zone.
He said an emergency situation needs to be declared in the Engineering profession, saying there is urgent need to resuscitate technical colleges in the country.
He said: "Lack of technicians and craftsmen is posing a very big challenge to the country. The normal proportion is that if you have one engineer, you have two technologists, four technicians and 16 craftsmen; unfortunately the situation is so bad in Nigeria so much that craftsmen are being imported from Togo and Benin-Republic.
"So we are trying to find a way of resuscitating all those old technical colleges that have been allowed to deteriorate, we want to see how we can bring them back to live so that they can teach and produce the required number of professionals."

Denny Hecker, a once-giant in the automotive sales industry, was taken into custody Tuesday by court officials for failing to provide adequate financial information for case dealing with his second wife.
Judge Jay Quam ordered Hennepin County sheriff's deputies to arrest Hecker because he was not able to make alimony payments to Sandra Hecker, according to the Star Tribune.
"I don't like doing this," Judge Quam told Hecker. "But I am going to take you into custody to motivate you," according to the Star Tribune.
This came after Hecker testified for about an hour on the stand. He mentioned difficulty raising money for his defense, the financial debt he accrued over the years and problems with family life, according to the Pioneer Press.
"I have never had an intention problem to pay. I have had an ability to pay problem," Hecker said, during his hearing, accordng to the Star Tribune.
Hecker is scheduled to make another appearance in court on Tuesday dealing with matters involving his fourth wife, Tamitha, according to the Pioneer Press.

I've been at my new base for over two weeks now and I can tell you that it feels great to be out of technical training.I don't have to abide by some of the ridiculous rules that I was forced to follow in tech training and no longer do I have to worry about some NCO walking around trying to find things wrong with you because he has nothing better to do.
No curfew ever and I can have as much alcohol as I want in my room. :P In fact, I had myself a beer not long before typing this.
I can finally be treated as an adult. :D
Work is well...laid back...and boring. Very boring. Where I work is also where a lot of intel people are. I have to wait to get my clearance passed before I can actually do my job. So right now, my job is...waiting. :lol:
It's easy work at least.
I've been behind on playing the DS games I have with me. I've been tired lately after the duty day. As an introvert, new places and people are very tiring for me.
Before Halloween, I should finish Apollo Justice and Investigation: Miles Edgeworth. The I'll move on to Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword and Ghost Trick.
Lately I've been exposed to the world that is figurines. In the past years I bought the Zelda statues from First4Figures simply as a collector of just about anything Zelda and had a couple Zelda action figures as a kid, but collecting other figurines such as Figma and Nendoroid wasn't my thing. I wasn't even familiar with the big name companies in the industry such as Max Factory, Good Smile Company, and Kaiyodo. I preordered the Link and Samus figures from Figma when a re-run was announced. Can't wait to get them. Should be here in time for Christmas.
However, now I'm getting addicted to it. I imported a couple figurines for my husband as gifts and seeing how cool they looked, I'm buying some for myself.
Already purchased a couple Hatsune Miku figurines. [I've been a fan of hers for a couple years now.] One of the Miku figures I purchased was one I read about that was only given at conventions and was open to online orders for two weeks and I preorderd it! And I preordered the Hatsune Miku Figma due to come out later this year.
At least it'll add something to my room. Something to look at other than random animal plushies and the spines of cases of countless games. :lol:
I can't wait to move into a house with my husband and finally have the space to put those F4F Zelda statues on display.
For anyone who hasn't bought figurines, look up Max Factory's Figma line. They're very detailed, but can be put into may poses so you don't have to look at the same pose everyday and it comes with many accessories. And they're a hell of a lot cheaper than buying those PVC figures that can easily go past the $100 mark. Some may see them as small, but if you like in a small place or don't have a lot of shelf space, it's the perfect size. And the prices is reasonable too considering how detailed they are. Every other action figure looks like crap once you get your hands on a Figma. A perfect balance of being a collectable item but still being able to play with it.
Also look up Bandai's D-Arts series which also consist of articulated figures. Recent figures in the line include Pocket Monsters and Rockman.

LeBryan Nash played for the USA Basketball U18 squad during the summer of 2010.
Nov. 11, 2010
Stillwater, Okla. — LeBryan Nash, a consensus five-star recruit who is ranked as high as the No. 4 high school recruit in the country nationally, has signed a National Letter of Intent with Oklahoma State and head coach Travis Ford, it was announced today. The 6-7, 215-pound small forward is a Dallas, Texas, native and attends Lincoln High School.
"We're very excited about LeBryan joining our basketball family here at Oklahoma State," said Ford. "It's been a lot of fun getting to know him and his mom and all his coaches throughout the recruiting process. He's been very blessed to have a terrific mother (Samantha Nash) who has raised him as a fine young man, and he's been very fortunate to have great coaches around him who have taught him a lot about the game and a lot about life."
Nash is the second-highest ranked recruit to ever sign with OSU in school history, and will certainly be the highest-rated recruit to ever step on the court in a Cowboy uniform. Nash is ranked as the No. 4 player nationally according to Rivals.com, including the second-best small forward in the country. Scout.com has Nash as a five-star recruit and the No. 3 small forward in the country. ESPNU.com ranks him as the No. 10 prospect nationally and the No. 3 small forward.
"LeBryan is first and foremost a terrific young man who represents himself very well," Ford continued. "He's also a great basketball player. On the court, he's one of the most talented players I've seen in a very long time. He can play multiple positions, from point guard to two-guard to three-guard to any position on the court that you'd like for him to play. He's just great with the ball in his hands, from scoring to passing."
Nash was named to the 2010 USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team in June and averaged eight points in five games as the USA squad won the gold medal in San Antonio, Texas. He scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench against the U.S. Virgin Islands in the opening round.
"From all the years I've been in this profession recruiting players of an elite status, he's the most talented and skilled player I've ever recruited," said OSU associate head coach Butch Pierre, the primary recruiter for Nash's services. "From a maturity standpoint, he's an impact guy who makes players around him better."
A two-time All-State selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, Nash was also named an all-area pick in both 2009 and 2010 by the Dallas Morning News. He is a three-time all-conference selection and was named the 2008 Newcomer of the Year by the Morning News as a freshman.
As a junior last season, Nash averaged 20.2 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, leading the Tigers to a 28-4 record. He has a three-year high school record of 82-18. The Tigers have advanced to the regional semifinals in each of his three years, making the regional finals in 2008.
"One thing I've always said to LeBryan, I think he's too unselfish at times, because he loves winning," said Ford. "Anytime you talk to LeBryan, it's about winning and he loves to win. He's got a great competitive nature. We're just very excited about what he brings to our basketball program as a person and as a player. Obviously, he's got a great future ahead of him."

Rainforest Cafe Coupons
The first Rainforest location was opened in Bloomington, Minnesota. Three years later, in 1997, the chain was growing rather slowly and consisted of six restaurants and they were situated in the United States. One year later, the company was planning to build 10 more restaurants in the US, 7 in Mexico and 5 in the United Kingdom within 10 years.
The Rainforest Café was bought by Landry's Restaurants – a company that specializes in hospitality, entertainment, dining and gaming. Nowadays, this company owns restaurants in Mexico, US, France, UK and Japan.
The company
As we can figure out from the restaurant's name, each restaurant depicts certain features of a rainforest: mists, waterfalls, plant growth, animals and insects and is designed accordingly. Restaurants are also populated by animatronic figures, which are manufactured by UCFab Int., LLC of Florida to enhance the atmosphere.
The restaurants are divided into different rooms by rain curtains that fall into basins that run atop of partition walls, aquatic tanks and booths.
