Cisco Systems shares are trading higher Wednesday morning as investors celebrate the company's better-than-expected earnings report for the fiscal first quarter ended October.
For the period, Cisco posted revenue of $11.9 billion with non-GAAP profits of 48 cents a share, ahead of the Street at $11.8 billion and 46 cents. The company projected FY Q2 profits of 47-48 cents a share, about in line with the Street at 48 cents. Revenues in the quarter rose 6% from a year ago.
The major takeaways for the Street: Huge relief that the numbers weren't worse. While guidance was only in line, investors were braced for far worse. CEO John Chambers actually sounded an upbeat note on U.S. enterprise spending, which could give a confidence boost to the broader IT sector. While it wasn't exactly a blowout quarter, the company edged official estimates, and blew past the more dire whisper numbers. For now, at least, the Cisco bears are waving the white flag.
Here's a look at some of the reaction to the quarter from the Street:
- Troy Jensen, Piper Jaffray: "Cisco reported solid results despite macro headwinds with revenue and EPS slightly above consensus and guidance for FQ2 relatively in line with expectations," he writes. "The company managed to squeak out these favorable results during a period when other technology suppliers are struggling and this speaks to the improvements Cisco has made in sales execution and cost controls. Management's tone regarding the U.S. enterprise market was stable to slightly improving, but European demand appears to be deteriorating. We continue to recommend CSCO shares as one of our favorite large cap ideas given the attractive valuation, improved sales execution, tight cost controls and 3% dividend yield."
- George Notter, Jefferies: "Cisco's guidance was in-line – we were expecting worse given the anecdotes we've gathered so far this earnings season. At current levels, we remain inclined to stay on the sidelines."
- Tim Long, BMO Capital Markets: "Cisco's strong results and relatively positive commentary on U.S. enterprise spending stands in stark contrast to the host of IT vendors that have highlighted weakening trends," Long writes. "Cisco executed very well, with its efforts on improving the gross margin profile finally paying off and, with the exception of Europe and the public sector, business is trending in the right direction."
- Ryan Hutchinson, Lazard Capital: "Cisco reported October quarter results ahead of consensus and guided in line with expectations, which we believe should quell recently heightened fears regarding the further deterioration of demand trends," he writes. "Not surprisingly, Europe remains notably soft, but management's commentary suggesting early signs of improvement with respect to US enterprise and SP spending dynamics was encouraging and should lift sentiment around the broader group."
- Shaw Wu, Sterne Agee: "CSCO reported a 'beat and keep' quarter, much better than consensus fears of a miss and guide down," he writes. "We find this impressive in light of a fairly disappointing earnings season with miscues from AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, INTC, to JNPR. Our concerns with Europe and China turned out valid, but better than expected resiliency in the U.S. and rest-of-world more than offset driven by fundamental demand. The bigger picture takeaway being perhaps IP networks are more mission critical than widely thought."
- Shebly Seyrafi, FBN Securities: "The bottom line is that CSCO did not disappoint on the report and the guide, and its margin performance was impressive," he writes. "Therefore, we think that there will be some capitulation by the bears today. With $5/share of net cash (resulting in P/E ex-cash of only 5.5x) and a dividend yield of over 3%, shares are especially attractive at current levels."
CSCO this morning is up $1.19, or 7.1%, to $18.04.

State of Confusion
Horses movin' out, horses movin' in,
Because their runnin' out' their skin,
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
A lane for a lane, horses bearin' out
Bet on me and I'll pay the fee
Ride on, brother, ride on.
But more on the Gulfstream stewards later.
How about those Derby preps?
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL., February 22, 2015--Fountain of Youth favorite Upstart did everything right except get the money. But, as stated, more on that later.
As the three year olds entered in the short stretch of the mile and a sixteenth Fountain of Youth Stakes, the newly blinkered Frosted created a little separation.
Then, just as quickly and, frankly, disappointingly, he shortened stride and bore out into the hindquarters of Upstart.
At the point Frosted appeared to be on his way, Jose Ortiz was working on Upstart which, at the time, was running in place.
But when Frosted began to shorten stride, Upstart lengthened his and was about to join his rival as Itsaknockout, now in full stride, loomed up and momentarily appeared set to run right on by.
For an instant there were three across the track, then Frosted dropped out and when that happened, the undefeated Todd Pletcher trainee had reached almost even terms and it looked like it was going to be a horse race.
But Upstart would have none of it. He showed his class, asserted himself, bothering Itsaknockout but, by the time it was over, he was 2-3/4 lengths in front at the wire.
When the official chart arrived in the press box, all were incredulous that the margin was that big.
Of course, Rick Violette was extremely disappointed in the eventual outcome, but not in Upstart.
"He's a good horse, Violette said. "Again he was wide on both turns, the horse ran great." When he was reminded that he had an experience edge over the eventual winner, he looked the reporter in the eye and simply said: "Six pounds."
Violette was, of course, correct, as Upstart, beneath 122 pounds, spotted Itsaknockout six pounds.
In finishing second, Itsaknockout ran extremely well. "I feel bad for the connections of the other horse," said Pletcher.
"But we definitely got impeded and Luis [Saez] had to stop riding for a couple of strides. I don't know how it would eventually affect the outcome."
"Bad call," said Violette. "[The stewards] have to understand that when a horse gets hit behind the girth, the only place the horse can go is to the right."
Then Violette said: "Don't know what's next, but we might have to go to New York."
As for Frosted, "he just pulled himself up," trainer Kiaran McLaughlin explained. "We don't know whether it was from hitting him. I think the blinkers helped, but not the last quarter. We thought we were a winner turning for home."
The time over a tiring surface was a very ordinary 1:46.28, with a final sixteenth in a very slow 7:30 seconds. The horses were racing into a fairly significant headwind in the stretch.
The Main Man: Given his Eclipse winning record of four consecutive Grade 1s, it's difficult to accept the idea but the fact is that Turf Champion Main Sequence might just be a better horse in 2015.
What else can you say about a horse that looked beat on the inside into the stretch, allowed surface loving Twilight Eclipse to separate himself from the field nearing the sixteenth pole, then ran the defending Mac Diarmida winner down before drawing off to his largest margin in his undefeated U.S. career, a whopping 3/4s of a length!
Main Sequence ran his final three furlongs in 34 4/5 seconds. "It sure felt like it," said a very happy Rajiv Maragh.
"He was awesome," said a liberated/reprieved Graham Motion. "He broke well and for one minute I thought he might be a little close. I think every time this horse has run he has improved, his behavior has improved. He was good as gold today in the paddock, which really impressed me. I think he kind of won for fun, to be honest."
Motion might have been a little more anxious than Main Sequence has been before his races, feeling the pressure of bringing an undefeated-in-the-U.S. champion to win at not be at tops, saving a little something for the next one.
"It's a huge relief," Motion admitted. "I think Rajiv has a pretty good rapport with him. He knows what it takes, and [Main Sequence's] just got some turn of foot. I think he's a horse that can overcome whatever. Because he's got that turn of foot it doesn't really matter where he is. You don't have to make excuses for him because he can overcome it.
Clearly this was a big boost for Maragh who recently returned from injury after spending nearly four months on the ground, has gotten off to a slow start at the Gulfstream meet, but got the mount back on his 'big horse' yesterday. Johnny Velazquez rode him to victory in the Breeders' Cup Turf.
"It's very special. It just goes to show you what kind of people I'm dealing with from the owners, the trainer and John Velazquez. He rode him in the Breeders' Cup perfectly and won. He compensated me, which shows what an honorable guy he is. He didn't have to do that. Everybody involved with this horse all deserve this. Special horse, special people."
"On to Dubai, hopefully. Fingers crossed," said Motion, obviously referring that he continues to do well before shipping to the Middle East. As for the horse, Motion has it exactly right. With that kind of kick, Main Sequence makes his own luck.
Once Again, Zero Consistency from Racing's Stewards: In full disclosure, I benefitted monetarily from Upstart's disqualification in the Fountain of Youth.
But I did say to colleagues before the official was posted that not only had Upstart come out twice, bumping with Itsaknockout, but I thought once was enough to justify the DQ after seeing Luis Saez fight to maintain his balance in the saddle aboard the runner-up.
Now Red Board players will insist that the 2-3/4 length margin proves that the incident didn't affect the outcome. I agree with Pletcher, making the case before the take-down that Itsaknockout reached near even terms shortly after entering the stretch and it looked like, to me anyway, that it was going to be a horse race.
When the press returned upstairs to write their stories, the conversation began anew. "What is the Florida interpretation of the [infractions] rule, same as California's, New York's?"
Good question, but the answer matters little.
Just like medication rules, interpretation of racing's rules vary from state to state and while jockeys might know what they can and cannot get away with, in terms of race riding, the public doesn't, just as trainers are sometimes fooled by therapeutic medication rules; withdrawal times and the rest.
If the public doesn't know what's legal and what's not, racing suffers, especially incurring the wrath of serious racing fans and bettors who make the whole enterprise possible.
I am not in favor of strict constructionist, "a-foul-is-a-foul" standards. I favor that stewards are not paid by the racetracks but the states, after passing a stewards' bar exam, as it were. This should not be the purview of political appointees.
But, even if stewards were incompetent, there is no excuse for two things: the process--no matter how many times head-on and pan replays are shown--is still not transparent.
We have been promised video in the stewards' stand here, just as surveillance cameras on the Santa Anita backstretch. Neither is in place and probably never will be as long as the game is allowed to police itself.
Is any more proof of this really required at this point in time in the sport?
However, the most unforgivable breach of trust with racing's customers is the inexcusable inconsistency.
In a turf race immediately following the Fountain of Youth, the payoff race for the Rainbow Six, Pick Five and late Pick Four, the winner came out and bumped repeatedly the second finisher, significantly enough to affect the neck margin at the finish.
*If anything, the finale might have been worse because the horses did reach even terms, and after the rider of the inside horse switched the whip to his left hand, he came out twice, indeed knocking the runner-up off stride.
Or was there no change because the bothered horse, ridden by Javier Castellano, was getting a message from the stewards that they allowed him to get away with herding when his mount, House Rules, came in, forcing the runner-up to alter course in the Rampart earlier in the day?
(It highly likely didn't affect the outcome, but Castellano could be seen tugging on the inside rein at the point of incident).
Or maybe the stewards didn't want to take down two winners in a row to end the day?
Or maybe they remembered the bad public taste left from the highly controversial incident last season that allowed a huge Rainbow 6 jackpot to be carried over to the next day.
The only reason I raised these questions is that it occurred to me, and two other bettors who texted me late in the day with a mnessage ending with "only in Florida."
Perhaps only in every racing state in America would have been more appropriate.

The Baha System from Cochlear Americas has been a widely accepted treatment option for candidates in Europe with conductive and mixed hearing loss since the 1970's and in the United States since the mid to late 1990's. Baha candidates who are 5 years of age and older should have a mixed or conductive hearing loss that can not be satisfactorily treated with conventional hearing aids or where surgery is not a clear option or previously unsuccessful as far as restoring hearing. The audiometric criterion of the candidate is a 45 dBHL bone conduction pure tone average (.5K, 1K, 2K, 3K) and 60% monosyllabic word score in the indicated ear. The patient can have a bilateral or unilateral conductive hearing loss. Patients with auricular atresia, microtia, chronically draining ears, cholesteatoma, otoslcerosis, and traumatic injuries are very good candidates for the Baha system.
In addition to the mixed/conductive indication, Baha is an effective treatment for patients with single sided deafness (SSD). These patients have traditionally had few effective options for hearing treatment. The Baha System uses transcranial routing of the sound from the deaf ear to the normal hearing ear. Patients who are 5 years of age or older with a profound sensorineural hearing loss and normal hearing in the opposite ear defined as a 20 dBHL air conduction pure tone average (.5K, 1K, 2K, and 3K) is considered a Baha candidate.

Pour the soup through a strainer set over a bowl, transfer the solids and 1 cup of the liquid to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or use a food mill fitted with the medium disc), and puree.
Return the puree and remaining 3 cups of liquid to the pot and set over medium heat.
Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Add the scallions and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
Ladle into heated bowls and garnish with croutons of toasted french bread and snipped fresh chives.

That being said, I'm pretty sure Silfverberg will play tonight, as the team wants to get a long look at him and use the playoffs to accelerate his adjustment to the NHL game. We all also know that Murray is very, very infatuated with him, so he wants to see what he has in Silfverberg.
Maclean decides who is in, not Murray.
I don't think the decision to play Silfverberg is to accelerate his adjustment to the NHL game. The coaches feel he is the best option to help the team win.
If he does falter again, they will probably just shorten the bench since its must win situation. No different if it were Butler or Stone in.
Let's hope for a W tonight, Go Sens

Triple Signature 1882 $100 Gold - Unique in Collector HandsFr. 1202a $100 1882 Gold Certificate PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35.
Three examples of this note are known in spite of the Track & Price census of zero. One, a damaged Fair, is in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, examined and graded in 1994. There is an Extra Fine in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, examined and graded in 1999. The currently offered note was sold by Barney Bluestone as part of the Grinnell Collection on March 10, 1945. This cataloger was not in attendance as he was ten months old and his mother would not let him go. It was later part of the Jim Thompson Collection and most recently was auctioned in December of 1998 as part of the Levitan Collection, where it realized $253,000. Heritage later placed the note privately into the Greensboro Collection accompanied by the 1863 $100 Gold and 1891 Treasury $1000, both of which we sold last April for over $2 million each. This Unique In Collector Hands note is now in a PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35 holder with the Apparent assigned for minor edge restorations. We do not doubt the accuracy of that assessment, but are unable to locate the restoration. This unique, small brown seal, triple signature $100 has the appearance, color, and eye appeal of a high end XF. Although it is unlikely that it will reach seven figures this evening, it is a certainty that it will approach that level.

I am running php scripts in parallel on an AWS lamp server. Right now I have a cron job set up to run each script at 10 min intervals, and then the script is set to exit after running for 20mins. I limit the time each script runs to keep from running out of memory on the server. I have tried to plug the memory holes as best I can, but as I work on this, timing out the script is a good interim solution.
The problem is I get too many scripts running at the same time. So rather than use cron to run the scripts at set intervals, how can I script the server to
A) monitor how many instances of specific php script are running at any given moment
B) if that number drops below n (say 4 instances) the server would fire up another instance of the php script?
Thanks for the help still learning my way around linux!

Jay Fulk's comment, July 5, 7:31 PM
I have mixed feelings on this one. I do see the point of having such a clause in the laws about disposal of trash. I, however, do not agree with the charges being brought as misdemeanors. I think that he should face a fine and lose hunting privileges for a year or two. At the end of the day, these are just animals and they were on his property. I grew up in Ketchikan, so having black bears in our trash was not uncommon. We never shot a black bear for getting into our trash though.
Marei Benton's comment, June 28, 9:13 PM
As a nurse, I would definitely vote this as all being a final mercy. Having dealt with a few dying patients in my time (albeit, not a lot comparatively-speaking to, oh, say a hospice nurse), it seems to me that an individual's death can be quite beautiful. It can also however be quite draining on the person, and, let's admit it, damn depressing for everyone involved (the patient, the patient's family, etc.)... I took the survey and was rather surprised at how liberal France rated on almost every single question. I never think of France as being a bastion of liberal ideas, as I think most people associate Scandinavian countries in that role. I was pretty surprised to see that France even "beat" Sweden in quite a few of the questions.
max mckernan's comment, June 29, 4:43 AM
I think that this should untimely be up to the person and the doctor. if the person and the doctor are willing to or even just the person the they should be aloud to. i mean it makes sense that a person should be able to make decisions about when and how they are going to die. i know i would want that choice.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 5, 7:27 PM
I actually really like this idea! I would feel much better knowing that my wife could meet someone outside of the police station, rather than our home. We sell things on craigslist sometimes, and I usually meet people at my office during the daytime. I feel like being in a public place during the middle of the day is perfectly safe. This just gives the seller and buyer more comfort with the transaction. I don't think that anyone should sell things at their home and in the evening. Those two things are recipes for disaster.
Rob Duke's comment, July 5, 7:38 PM
Yup. Millions of satisfied customers in eCommerce, but all it takes is one (and there've been enough incidents to make this a legitimate concern). This is an interesting idea, though, to shine some transparency on a quasi-legitimate marketplace. I think we're wise to figure out ways to tame these markets.

Digital Focus: More than just fun and games
Gamification can deliver real benefits to brands if agencies follow the rules of game psychology and focus on enjoyment
Standing, as I was the other day, in a crowded stairwell for 40 minutes while engineers tried to fix the fault on the aeroplane I was about to board, I found myself in what I now know is a recognised state in gaming. I was in the "flow zone" – a state between anxiety and boredom – and I only know to recognise it having read Adam Graham's article on page 47 in this collection of pieces on gamification.
Sadly, for me, this was no game (I had no choice but to wait and no way to influence the outcome), and the title of the Weapon7 chief executive's article, "Where's the fun in that?", swam much too clearly into mind.
When my delayed flight finally landed in Amsterdam that night, I felt more than ready for a dose of what Essence's Alastair Cole claims psychologically informed game design can replicate: the positive feelings generated by alcohol, drugs or gambling.
The principles of gaming weave themselves almost imperceptibly throughout our lives, and 'twas ever thus. Just ask Jon Davie's sister-in-law or, better still, read his essay that crystallizes the elements needed for the successful gamification of brands.
What do I mean by gamification? It's a good question and one that is not sufficiently interrogated as brands and agencies rush to bolt this new-ish concept on to their communication strategies, Elle Graham-Dixon of Elvis argues in her thought-piece on page 43.
This is Campaign's first "Focus on Gamification", created from a demand that readers told us they had for more information about a concept that sounds so simple – mere child's play – yet is one that few truly understand or use to full effect.
Anyone who takes the time to read the pieces that follow will find the reward truly worth the effort. The perfect game.
Suzanne Bidlake, consultant editor, Campaign
Play like an entrepreneur
Gamification now requires agencies to think like businesses bringing a new product to market
Mind games
By gathering data from psychologically informed game design, brands and marketers can better connect with the intrinsic desires of players
Gamification: where's the fun in that?
When considering a gamification strategy, forget points, badges, leaderboards and prizes - and focus on enjoyment
A new buzz for a timeless principle
The idea of using gaming mechanics in marketing is not new, but any use of gamification must be appropriate to both the brand and the audience

Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta - Il Duomo, San Gimignano
16 Reviews
16 Reviews
In the 15C the Collegiata was extended and among the additions was a special chapel to its local Santa Fina (who died in 1253).The chapel has two paintings of her deathbed and her funeral painted by Ghirlandaio. Inn the central part of the church there are also several works by Benozzo Gozzoli.
The inner surface of the west facade is covered with frescos depicting Paradise, the Last Judgement and vigorous scenes of Hell. The outer aisle walls are covered with Bible scenes of the Old (left) and New Testaments (right). The facade is the work of Taddeo di Bartolo, while the Old Testament is done by Bartolo di Fredi. Some think the right wall was mostly done by Barna di Siena until he fell to his death while creating the Crucifixion. (Alternately the work is attributed to Lippi Memmi and his family).
Inside the nave of the church, it resembles most Tuscan churches of the 12 and 13 C with usually seven lateral arches created of alternating white and dark stone. Above this are Byzantine decorations covering the upper inner nave walls. These are topped by small clerestory windows yielding a dark interior, A narrow window is on the east wall and in front of it is large wooden crucifix.
The major church of the town is at the highest part of the city on the east side of the Piazza del Duomo at the top of a tall staircase. It was bullt in 1239 and originally had a nave and two aisles.and is quite plain on the outside. It has entry doors at the lateral ends of the west facade and a small upper window.
When we went to San Gimignano, the Collegiate Church was closed. But, we knew that this church has many sculptures and wooden statues inside that were works of art. There are also frescoes inside which make this church a beautiful church.
This church was consecrated in 1148. According to the history of this church, it has frescoes made by Tadeo di Bartolo.
It also has frescoes like the "The Old and New Testatment", and the "The Last Judgment.
Known simply as il Duomo, la Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta is the main church in San Gimignano. It was once a cathedral, but was reduced to a collegiate when San Gimignano lost its bishop. Although the construction of the existing structure began in 1056 AD, the church was not consecrated until 1148 AD. Over the centuries, several additions and expansions occurred, including the 15th century work on its interior. The plain brick façade conceals a beautiful polychromatic interior with rich artwork. The basilica was originally dedicated to San Gimignano, but was later rededicated to Santa Maria Assunta.
The Collegiata (Cathedral) is the main church in town and it is located on Piazza del Duomo. (It is not officially a cathedral these days as it no longer has a bishop, though it is still called a cathedral everywhere you read).
The Romanesque cathedral was consecrated in the 12th century, though the façade you see today dates from the 13th century. The outside is very plain, but inside is another story. The interior is covered with impressive 14th century frescoes, which cover the walls, telling stories of days gone by.
The Collegiata is actually one of Tuscany's most decorated churches, and is therefore well worth the admission fee (3.50 euro in Sep 2006).
The Collegiata is located over a stair in Piazza del Duomo. It was built in 1056 and dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. It was restored in 1460 by Giuliano da Maiano.
Inside the church has got three aisles and on the walls and the roof there are wonderful frescoes which were restored after the daming in the Second War World.
On the white facade there are two gateways and three circular windows.
The walls and the roof inside the Collegiata are full of wonderful frescoes. On the wall of the facade you can see the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian made by Benozzo Gozzoli. The walls of the aisles are painted with scenes of the Old and New Testament made by Lippo and Federico Memmi. On the roof there are frescos made by Ghirlandaio
The Collegiate Church, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, was built in Romanesque style in the 11th century. The front facade of this three naves building is very simple, almost undecorated at all, but the interior is rich of numerous art treasures. Probably the most valuable are two wooden statues carved by Jacopo della Quercia, the Chapel of Saint Fina by Giuliano da Maiano which is the jewel of Renaissance art, and above all frescoe scenes from the New Testament which should be attributed to Simone Martini. This frescoes are considered a milestone of Italian Gothic art.
This 12th century Romanesque church contains a feast of frescoes. In the north aisle the frescoes comprise 26 episodes from the Old Testament (1367) by Bartolo di Fredi. The opposite wall features scenes from the "Life of Christ" (1333-41) by Lippo Memmi, while at the back of the church there are scenes from the "Last Judgement" painted by Taddeo di Bartolo.
The church dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption was built in the 12th century. The church originally overlooked Montestaffoli but was then turned around, with the creation of a new façade and stairways on Piazza del Duomo. The Romanesque building has three naves and its walls guard numerous art treasures.
Just off the Piazza della Cisterna, is the best square of the city, in my humble opinion. Especially in the morning, the sun creeps over the towers and lights up the facade, as you see in this picture. Also, in this square is the Tourist Information and, some mornings, the markets.
The Duomo or Collegiate Church, was consecrated in 1148 and is adorned with valuable Sienese School frescoes: "The Old and the New Testament" (Bartolo di Fredi and the "Bottega dei Memmi" or Barna da Siena); "The Last Judgement" (Taddeo di Bartolo) works of art by the Florentine school: "Stories of St. Fina" (Ghirlandaio), "St. Sebastiano" (Benozzo Gozzoli), wooden statues (Jacopo della Quercia) and the Sculptures (Giuliano and Benedetto da Maiano). Frescoes, statues and sculptures make the Collegiate Church of San Gimignano a very prestigious museum.
Attached to the south side of the church, off the Piazza Pecori, is another fine Annunciation by Ghirlandaio,

51 year old woman | Dover, NH, USA | Seeking men 49-57 within 50 miles
I love the outdoors and would like to find someone who on a moments notice could take off to do something fun. Could be a ride to somewhere, a hike, a walk around town, pretty much anything can be fun when you have someone to do it with. I like to be social but also enjoy quiet time. I love to swim, kayak, ski occasionally, and I'm agreeable with other people's suggestions as long as it doesn't involve heights. Lol, please don't make me bungee jump. I have a camp on the most beautiful lake where I love to relax. I am a successful business woman so If you are worried about gold diggers that's not me, however on the other hand I would like to meet someone who can at least pay their own way. Someone who has enough time and money to go to the movies, out to dinner, or spend an evening out. I do have the best children in the world but they are all grown up and no longer need me. My animals have all passed away so my time is really my own. I used to cook all the time but according to my kids comfort foods are now out, so I let them cook me all the heathy stuff.
Cycling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I've been to Cancun, probably too many times now. My favorite restaurant is Radicci's in Portsmouth. I would like to go places with someone who enjoys life and is amazed by all the different things to see.
I really like ice cream, frosting, chocolate chip cookie dough, gardening, auctions, sunsets, and the lake.
I like being with other people for fun, kayaking, movies, sunsets, bowling, hanging around together. When I'm alone, I like to appreciate the outdoors, whether it's working in the yard, gardening, or watching the sky

Memories of Wheldon linger for Kanaan
INDIANAPOLIS - Tony Kanaan can barely talk about the late Dan Wheldon.
Wheldon won last year's Indianapolis 500 on the final lap when rookie J.R. Hildebrand crashed before the finish. Then Wheldon died five months later in a fiery wreck in the IndyCar finale at Las Vegas.
In Kanaan's mind, Wheldon's legacy lives on as a connoisseur of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the entire experience of this race.
"Every time I have come here I've learned to enjoy it," said Kanaan, who has never won at Indy despite five top-10 finishes, including a second in 2004. "I learned that from Dan — to look at the fans, to look at the flags waving in the breeze."
After Kanaan paused to collect himself, he was asked his chances of winning this year's race (Kanaan will start eighth) and getting his likeness on the Borg-Warner Trophy.
"I hope I can put my face next to his," said Kanaan.
n A couple of wild cards this year could be the cars and engines.
The IndyCar series mandated new chassis with revised aerodynamics and new engines with a return to turbochargers. Also, Chevrolet has returned to the series to compete with the dominant engine made by Honda.
"When you're talking about the heat, you're talking about the new cars and how they're going to react," said Ganassi, whose team uses Hondas. "We know where they're at on the road courses (in the first four IndyCar races); we don't necessarily know on ovals. Everybody's been playing with their (applications) and playing with their engines, so we'll see where we're at."
n Speaking of engines, the Chevrolets have won all four IndyCar races this year — and all went to Team Penske drivers, three to Will Power and the other to Helio Castroneves.
But Sunday's Indy 500 is the first oval race of the year. It's also the longest so far, and with the temperature at race time forecast to be in the mid 90s, that could have an effect on the engines.
Bu the drivers can only go on what they've seen so
far, on road courses.
"The first four races, I would say the Chevys had an advantage there," said Dario Franchitti, who will start 16th in his Honda-powered car. "But who knows with the new stuff. We'll find out on Sunday."
n Sitting in the last row for the start of the Indianapolis 500 usually means a driver has no chance of winning the race. All they can do, really, is try to be careful and not screw it up for the other drivers.
"I think the biggest thing when you come up to (slower) traffic is make sure they do the same thing every time," said Franchitti. "You can't get out of the way here."
So drivers such as Simona De Silvestro, who will start in the middle of Row 11, will have to watch out behind them as well as in front of them.
"I'll try to be as much out of the way as possible because I know when you have a fast car it's annoying when somebody is that much slower," said De Silvestro, whose qualifying average of 214.393 mph was considerably slower than pole sitter Ryan Briscoe's 226.484 mph.
"We all respect each other, and I just have to do my job to be quick and not try to be in the way, too," she said. "That's kind of our goal for the race."
Then there's Jean Alesi. He will start last, on the outside of Row 11.
"This is an amazing experience for me," he said after qualifying considerably slower than even Silvestro, at 210.094 mph. "I'm 47 years old, and I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career."

No longer a member... Give me reason to come back :)
My friends would describe me as 100% random, and I would have to agree. You never know what to expect while I am around but it is usually worth finding out. I am described as bubbly, flirty, outgoing, love to joke and have fun. I also have a unique sense of humor so laughter is a must and I am a hopeless romantic at heart. When I am not doing things that make my heart race, I am finding humor in any given situation. Variety is the spice of life and I love trying new things, but I am also up for the quiet nights at home cuddling so I can showcase my sensual side. I like to spend my time with people who love being happy and strive to live life to the fullest. The world is full of fun and mystery and I would like to find someone to enjoy some of my time with and maybe more. The best relationships develop slowly, so I am in no rush to jump into anything right away, let's just have some great fun getting to know each other and see what happens. I am looking for a man that is independent that will want me, and appreciate me for who I am, but not depend on me. Conversational skills are a must. I would like to find someone that is smart, loving, funny, and outgoing, but sensitive, kind, and generous as well. Chemistry and passion are qualities I admire above all else. I can be your friend, lover, partner in crime, or the person to try new things with. In general I am looking for a person who just wants to have fun enjoying life and wants to see what comes natural; no pressure or expectations here.

Originally written on Section 303 | Last updated 5/6/12
In game four of the Western Conference Semifinal series between the Nashville Predators and Phoenix Coyotes, defenseman Rostislav Klesla buried Predators winger Matt Halischuk head-first into the boards. The Phoenix blueliner only spent 2:00 in the penalty box. The 17,113 inside Bridgestone Arena were so upset with the call, when PA Announcer Paul McCann did his trademark "Your… Nashville Predators are on… the… power play!", a thunderous level of boo's came down from the stands. Most fans thought the hit (especially in today's concussion-conscious NHL) warranted at least a major. Some even wanted a game misconduct. Regardless what the fans wanted, the referees handed out just the lone 2:00 minor to Klesla. Today, the NHL handed Klesla a one-game suspension for the dangerous hit. Below is the video explanation.

Sourced from the family of a former Jets team owner1965 Joe Namath Original Painting by LeRoy Neiman. For nearly half a century, LeRoy Neiman has enjoyed the distinction of being the most famous practitioner in the sports art genre, but his recent passing has only served to intensify interest in his work, further strengthening his already red-hot market. Evidence of the iconic artist's rising stock can be found in our own Permanent Auction Archives, which features no fewer than three six-figure sales of his unmistakable impressionistic style. Absent is any sign that this trend is leveling off, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by those collectors with an eye toward investment potential.
Though he captured all manner of sporting competition on land and sea, traveling the world in pursuit of athletic excellence, Neiman was a true New Yorker at heart and his Big Apple subjects are widely considered his most desirable. Here we encounter just such a piece, a marvelous study of a rookie quarterback out of Alabama who would soon author the greatest underdog tale in the city's athletic history. From the chaos of Neiman's swirling paintbrush derives perhaps the finest Namath portrait ever created, a premonitory celebration of the greatness to come. Neiman's signature at lower right is dated, "'65," the year Namath was claimed with the twelfth pick of the NFL draft.
The 15.5x8" oil on board was recently sourced from the family of a former Jets team owner who almost certainly commissioned the work in celebration of his exciting new acquisition. Little could he have predicted the soaring trajectory, with both artist and subject bound for immortalization in the sporting pantheon. Painting is housed in its original museum quality frame that concludes the dimensions at 20x12.5".

Our family has worked closely with Allstate for years to help people with their insurance needs – from homes to auto to boats and more. Our quality, service-oriented agency is not only owned and operated by a family, customers tell us we make them feel like family too.
One of the things I like best about working with Allstate is the variety of products and services I can offer customers. More than insurance, I can offer a variety of solutions to address their financial needs – such as saving for a child's education or retirement.
I'm committed to helping you protect not only what you have today, but to also prepare for tomorrow. I can help you understand how insurance is a part of your "safety net" and a cornerstone to your financial security. Together, we'll work to evaluate your coverages and select flexible payment options that work for you.
When it comes to life insurance, Allstate in Simsbury puts you in charge. Our term life policies allow you to choose the term lengths you want—there's no need to settle for a 20-year term, when you only want 17 years of protection. We know that your life is constantly changing, which is why we created term life insurance with customized protection. By paying only for what you need, you'll save money. Call (860)408-9300 to learn more.

We might start by trying to stem the sale of arms to those who are perpetrating the violence in the first place.
Officials try to stem fears that the Mayan apocalypse will hit, while shoppers stock up on candles, vodka.
In 2012 San Francisco had a significantly lower share of stem jobs per capita than Santa Clara County.
Old English stemn, stefn "stem of a plant," also "either end-post of a ship," from Proto-Germanic *stamniz (cf. Old Saxon stamm, Old Norse stafn "stem of a ship;" Danish stamme, Swedish stam "trunk of a tree;" Old High German stam, German Stamm), from PIE root *sta- "to stand" (see stet).
Meaning "support of a wineglass" is from 1835. Stem-winding watches (1875) were advanced and desirable when introduced, hence slang stem-winder "excellent thing" (1892). The nautical sense is preserved in the phrase stem to stern "along the full length" (of a ship), attested from 1620s. The verbal phrase stems from, first recorded 1932, American English, translates German stammen aus, probably from a figurative sense represented by English stem (n.) in the sense of "stock of a family, line of descent" (c.1540; cf. family tree, and German stammvater "tribal ancestor," literally "stem-father"). Stem cell attested by 1885.
"to hold back," c.1300, from Old Norse stemma "to stop," from Proto-Germanic *stamjan (cf. Swedish stämma, Old Saxon stemmian, Middle Dutch stemon, German stemmen "stop, resist, oppose"), from PIE root *stem- "to strike against something" (cf. Lithuanian stumiu "thrust, push"). Phrase to stem the tide is literally "to hold back the tide," but often is confused with stem (v.) in sense of "to make headway against, head in a certain course" (late 14c.), which is from stem (n.)).
stem (stěm)
