Started off today with a relay lead off close to my best time in the 50 free. Then it was the 200 Fly which was off my best by .3 and it felt good. Good meet over all and had a great time.
Good friends, good food, good times. All of you who missed this need to plan to come the next time we go to a nice vacation destination.

This morning I went up to Riverbank State Park to swim. The lifeguards opened up another lane shortly after I arrived, so I ended up swimming with just one other swimmer most of the workout. Heres what I did:
1000 lcm warmup (400 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull, 200 rev. IM drill/swim by 25
200 kick with fins
6 x 50 (25 fast / 25 easy) FR @ fins @ big rest
6 x 50 (25 fast / 25 easy) BK without fins, working on turnover/rotation puzzle
200 easy swim and dolphin dives
Switch to outdoor pool
Extra 200 warmdown, plus floating and sculling
When I was doing the udk on my fast backstroke breakouts this morning, I noticed that the bubbles from my exhalation came in spurts that coincided with my undulations. When I dolphin kick hard, it seems to force a bit of air out of my lungs on each contractionprobably ab muscles are causing my diaphragm to press against my lungs. I hadnt noticed that before.
I remember a few years ago I was reading a book by Bernd Heinrich, where he talked about how various animals run. Many of them are built so that they have to time up their strides and their breathing, because their lungs can expand only in certain phases of their strides, since some of the muscles involved are the same. Humans are exceptional in that their running and breathing motions are independent of each other. Heinrich, an ultramarathoner as well as a biologist, experimented with different ways of timing up the two as part of his training. This made me wonder if loping freestylers who breathe every stroke are actually unconsciously incorporating some sort of diaphragm contraction into their stroke movement.
(I dont run much, but when I do jog I breathe in and out on every 2nd or 3rd footfallmuch the same way I time up breathing and armstrokes when swimming. Mr. Addict, who is a runner but not a swimmer, thinks of this as a weird holdover from my swimming background).
9 more days til Zones! Im done with weights and plyo and rowing and anything but swimming and stretching at this point.
Catalina Channel Part III
Since I had planned to have little feedback and conversation while swimming, I was completely in the dark as to how much longer I might be in the water. I had read many accounts of English Channel swimmers spending three/four/five/six hours fighting the last half mile only to surrender unsuccessfully... close enough to smell the croissants baking, but this isn't the EC. It isn't supposed to be like this! With no visual reference, I didn't know if I was gaining toward the mainland at all, and I wondered if I would be pulled for lack of progress. No matter, I was going to swim until I hit land, got pulled, or my arms fell off.
As it turns out, I was making progress. The Outrider was on auto-pilot and we were creeping slowly toward my rocky exit. As the current swept northwest, we turned southeast to face it, and so, inched sideways toward the California coast which was mostly blocked from my view by the boat on my left.
I tried to keep my pace steady and my stroke rate held in the mid 60's throughout. My neck was getting sore. I tweeked it a bit the day before my swim in a sneezing fit (of all things) and though I managed to keep it loose for a good 12 hours, it was time to quit alternate breathing and go to my old standby left only for the home stretch. I hoped my kayakers, paddling on my right side, would not be offended. I could see the hull of the kayak under water and follow easily.
Tobey jumped in again, and sensing that I was in need of some encouraging words said the perfect thing: "Hey, lets just go for a swim." We did. I felt a surge of energy and picked my stroke rate up a bit. The end didn't matter to me now and I was able to enjoy just moving through the water.... finally the Zen moment! I felt briefly that the coast would get in the way of my finding out just how long I could keep going and started to feel sorry for all those poor bastards whose swim is over after nine or ten hours.
A strange thing happens when one is engaged in a singular activity for hours on end, and its the exact opposite of what one would expect; time accelerates. The time between feeds passed so quickly now and loud cheering now accompanied each chug-a-lug like a frat party drinking contest. I can only assume we are getting closer to the beach and try to keep up the pace. Jim gives me a two fists in the air salute and holds it until I respond with a thumbs up. It feels good to have the officials so solidly in my corner.
I deliberately avoid looking forward but hope to see some kelp soon.... No kelp, but the end is near. John, Tobey and Harris were all in the water to escort me the last 200 yards to the rocky beach. The surf was slight, but I lacked the balance to deal with it, so I crawled slowly on all fours until I could find some footing. There were a few people sitting nearby in some beach chairs; they looked pretty relaxed.
After a very brief respite, we swim back to the Outrider.
Back aboard the Outrider, hot chocolate, mini snickers, degrease, and a hot shower... yes a hot shower! Everyone was exhausted and I'm sure looking forward to terra firma followed by a soft bed... as was I. The boat ride back to the dock wasn't long enough to fully express my appreciation to everyone on board. Before the swim, I had thought it would be fun to buy everyone a few rounds at some dockside bar and grill, but we were deep into double overtime, and I could sense that everyone was anxious to get on with the rest of their lives. Feet dragging but spirits high, we cleared our gear from the deck of the Outrider and made our way to our vehicles that waited patiently for us, parked across the road in a newly paved lot. It is unlikely that we, as a group, will ever find ourselves in the same place at the same time again, though John, Ian and Roz will be in Dover with me shortly.
I know that I'll be back to Catalina sometime soon to swim or crew with some friends......
Updated August 12th, 2010 at 05:07 PM by chaos
Day 3 was off to a sour start as I got heartburn just before the 200 Back so not a good swim but for how I was feeling it was good. 3:12.72 which kept me in 7th place. Even with a best time I would still have gotten the same place so I'll take that.
The 100 Fly hurt like #&*@ but it was a personal best with a 1:35.69 for 4th place. I went out much harder than I had planned. Steve said my first 50 looked like I was swimming a 50 only. Then came the wall....
After a long day at the pool with my teammates it was off to the old city of San Juan and some site seeing and dinner. Too much fun hanging out with the GAJA crew and some of our adopted friends.
Last event for my is the 200 Fly tomorrow. I am tempted to learn butterfrog. Nope I just can't bring myself to do it yet.
That's it. I'm beyond tired of applying sunscreen. I think 10 days at the beach is enough for me. 1 week is slightly too short to achieve max relaxation; 2 weeks is slightly too long. Unless you're somewhere else perhaps. I spent most of the day reading my book and floating over waves or on an inner tube.
Anyhoo, as I had done a couple speed workouts in a row, I opted for a "recovery" ocean swim today. I swam from the Johnny Mercer pier to the other end of the island and walked back. No idea how far that was. It seemed like quite a bit, and I got bored. I'm naturally happier in the pool. Mr. Fort made some noises about me converting to OW swimming in my old age. I brushed this off, and believe he was thinking quite selfishly in suggesting this. hehe
I hope I wake up and actually get psyched when I get home for Zones. A certain ennui has set in with so much vacationing and inadequate training & training goals. I am a bit jealous of those in PR; it sounds like a fabulous time. And the PV contingent is acquitting themselves very well.

There was only around 6-7 seconds rest on most of the main set, with 8 seconds on the 200 and 12 seconds on the last 400. The 250s exemplify my ability to automatically swim as slow as the interval will allow. This isn't a good thing, I should have had more rest on the 250s.
Got a delayed indirect compliment from Mark that was reenacted for me today. After I left on my 600 Monday, he said to the girl in the next lane "Yeah, I need more rest before starting the 600. I am not a ing machine like Mike." Very funny since Mark is a machine who has only made about six practices this summer, doesn't have a swimming background and still made most of the set on the hardest interval.
Swam with Anna and Gerald today, which surprised me because Anna has specifically told me she does not like swimming with me, but she does enjoy coming up with hard practices when the regular coach is out of town.
My indirect compliment from Anna at the end of practice.
Me: "How'd you do?"
Anna: "I couldn't keep up... I did 200s on the 250s... I didn't swim much much this summer."
Me: "I know, you were standing on the side yelling at us to go faster."
Anna: "It worked! You did!"
This morning I went to the early AGUA practice. Heres what we did (mutatis mutandis for taper):
200 lcm warmup
300 FR + 200 IM drill (2nd warmup)
8 x 50, 2 of each stroke, IM order, @ :20ish rest
5x thru:
50 Stroke (IM order)
50 easy FR
[I took an on-deck stretching interlude during the first 200 IM, and thereafter did the rest of the set, substituting 200 stroke drills/easy swim with fast IM turns for the IM, and doing sprint BR or BK for the 50 stroke.]
300 warmdown + sculling + play
My sprint breaststroke timing was feeling good today for the first time in a whileI felt like I was able to turn over quickly without losing water. Im still working on getting my backstroke turnover right. After my 50 BK at the Wilton meet, Coach Craig told me that I was swimming too flat, and shouldnt sacrifice rotation for arm speed (or at least not to the extent that I was doing). My body and I still seem to be negotiating what rate of turnover still allows me to get enough body rotation when Im sprinting.
Yesterday afternoon I went over to the Y for a short on-my-own swim. I did
1000 warmup
8 x 25 FR, odds build quickly to sprint, evens easy
400 warmdown
I would usually do the sprint 25s to feet, but I realized one thing Im glad about for Zones is that I will not have to do any flipturns in any of my races! (I dont count backstroke turns as flipturns). For some reason, freestyle turns are my least favorite of all the swim turns. I will get to do all the other 5 possible turns (thats counting butterfly and breaststroke turns as the same) exactly once over the course of my 6 races.
(Math question of the day: How many possible combinations of events would the above info hold true for?)
10 more days til Zones!

Same routine as yesterday. I was on the beach for a couple hours, ate lunch and headed to the Y for a little speed work. I timed it to arrive after the Tri Group, and ended up having a lane of my own. No noodler incidents. Then headed back to the beach. I finished reading Dead End Gene Pool, which you must read if you think your family is dysfunctional. Started reading Open, Andre Agassi's autobiography. Planning on watching A Single Man tonight. Life feels very lazy. I will be quite quite spoiled when I get back to the inexorable routine of food gathering and preparing and chauffeuring. Fortunately, summer doesn't end until after Labor Day in DC, which, btw, is a good place to be away from right now.
Here's a P90X article on nutrition that I saw on FB:
My son turns 18 tomorrow. I can hardly believe it ...
More hardware today. After a leasurely warm up of 500 then another 500 later started with the 50 Fly in 37.30 for 6th place. The 100 Back I jammed the turn really bad, I was so close when I rolled over I almost hit the wall with my head. Still managed a 1:31.84 for 8th place.
Next up were relays we did a Mixed Medley where I did fly and split a 36.89 and we placed 8th and the womens free relay I split 31.70 and we placed 6th!
Great day looking forward to tomorrow.

It's not the years in your life, but the life in your years that matter.
--Anonymous, date unknown
How quickly my once proudest boast, "There is not one ounce of fat on this boy!" has transformed into "There is not one ounce of boy in this fat!"
--Jim Thornton, 1983
The summer continues to pass by in a humid blink. With each passing year, the acceleration of time's flow becomes that much more bamboozlingly rapid. For a FINA-58-year-old like me, no sooner have I had such thoughts than a natural worry comes to mind. To wit, how will I possibly have time to make my burial preparations, so quickly are the nanosecond-like years speeding by.
But then I think: Oh, what an impractical worry you are torturing yourself with, Jim! Given the speed of time's passing, the friction alone will burn you to bits, a spontaneous combustion that all but eliminates the need for any additional mortuary science!
And I find peace in this.
It seems like only a half hour ago since the Range War! of inchoate animosities broke out on the forum, stoked by misunderstandings and turf battling nincompoopitude that very few, if any of us, understood. Not that it stopped very entertaining criss-crossing spurts of bile from ejaculating into every corner of the forumite community!
It seems like only a second ago that I contributed two new slogans to the USMS greater community--one, of course, not mine at all, but rather a "found" gem, like Marcel DuChamps legendary "readymades," the most famous of which was arguably:

Perhaps such ideas are ahead of their time; in any event, they garnered little interest at the time of their posting, and I suspect they will garner little interest now. I include them here only so that 1,000 years from now, swimming cultural anthropologists might perhaps unearth from the rubble of today's ephemerata valuable clues as to how the sport evolved to what they are doing then from what we are doing now.
I daresay such historians will look upon today's strokes with the same bemusement we now regard the doggie paddle!
But enough speculation.
Let me get to the point of today's entry: the official announcement of The Jim Thornton Annual Pre-Birthday Open Rough Water Shark and Snapper Blue 2-Mile Swim.
Two quick modifications. I thought that last year was the first time I did this, but it turns out it was two years ago. Moreover, for the second event, I am planning to change it from a 2-mile swim to a 5K swim.
Thus the new name--and the way I hope you will note the event on your desk calendar, Blackberry-like device, and other reminder technologies is:
The Jim Thornton Bi-Annual (not to be confused with Semi-Annual, as I almost did) Pre-Birthday Open Rough Water Shark and Snapper Blue 5K Swim.
Here are the particulars:
The JTBA(ntbcwsaaiad)PBORWSaSB5KS (for short) will be held sometime during the week of August 23-29th, that is, after the Colony Zones LCM Championships are over at the U. Maryland.The venue for the swim is Ocean City, New Jersey, not too terribly far from my twin brother's house, in the Atlantic Ocean, with the finish line being the pier at 52nd Street, I am pretty sure, though it's possible the pier is on 53rd, 54th, 55th, or 56th Street. This detail will be worked out before the starter's signal blasts or tweets.Chances are fairly good that I will be tired from the LCM meet and probably won't want to hold my event on Monday, or even Tuesday, though these days cannot be ruled out. The actual day will be announced here on my blog at least 24 hours in advance of the actual race.
The starting time for the event will be after 5 p.m., because you don't need to pay for a beach tag after 5.
On the day of the race, I will ascertain whether the rip currents are yanking swimmers in a generally north to south direction, or reverse. I will then use my brother's car to drive 3.1 miles up or down the beach accordingly (we will be swimming with the current, not against it) to establish the starting point.This event is not sanctioned, not recognized, not safe, not protected by life guards, and possibly fatal for a variety of reasons foreseeable and unforeseeable.This event is not really an event. It is more of a communal coincidence. If you want to do a purely personal swimming challenge entirely of your own volition, and you want to coincidentally do this when I do it too, and perhaps even race against me, why then I cannot stop you! It is a free (and under normal circumstances a litigious) country, though there are absolutely no grounds whatsoever for litigation with my communally coincidental swimming thingy.
The above notwithstanding, I will have indemnification papers and liability waivers for you to sign if, in fact, you act against my strongest recommendations TO NOT DO THIS UNSAFE ACTIVITY, which could involved run ins with sea life including, but not limited to, snapper blues, sharks, selkies, and crabs.My cell phone number is (412) 651-2100 and my email address is email@example.com. (If you haven't already, please befriend me on Facebook, too, at James Scott Thornton.) If you are going to be anywhere near Ocean City that week and want to swim, let me know and I will send you a text when I figure out the day.My twin brother John might be cajoled into filming the event.
He does have a garage. Knowing John, I think he would consider a reasonable rent for anyone who wants to camp out in his garage the night before or after the race. I should add that my son Jack once said when he was 6 or 7, "Uncle John, you have a serious green head problem"--green heads being these biting flies that thrive on the salt marshes against which John's garage abuts. Again, there will be waiver and indemnity forms to sign for any potential garage campers.Finally, unlike most OW events where the most threatening form of life one is likely to collide with is the Brooklyn Whitefish (AKA Coney Island Whitefish), the real challenge of the JTBA(ntbcwsaaiad)PBORWSaSB5KS is not the swim itself, which should be relatively easy, especially if the current is strong, but rather dealing with the psychological creepiness of the venue. To wit, you have to go out a fair distance to reach water that is not being buffeted by breaking waves. The water, though extremely clean, is nevertheless murky; and in this murk, the shadows of monsters do occasionally appear to play about. Once, when I was swimming through the pier pilings, trying to avoid being dashed against the razor barnacles encrusting the wood, I saw something about 6 feet across float by right underneathe my body. It was a large ray of some sort. But by the time I realized it meant me no harm, there were a few involuntary palpitations triggered by proximity to such a murk-dwelling leviathan! I guarantee that anyone who signs up for the swim will have phantoms, real or imaginary, to deal with. They become all the more sinister, I must say, when one has swum so far off shore to avoid the crashing surf that land itself occasionally disappears totally from view when one sinks into a wave trough!But still, it's very fun, and the water is a wonderful cool temperature, the perfect antidote to this summer heat and global warming foreshadowing!Here is a vlog from yesteryear about the first official race, which I must say I won handily. I will also separately link the film my brother made of that special day, a film he named simply, Sunk!

Another beautiful beach day. I had no desire to make the trek to the Y today, so I braved the ocean. Probably not so wise. It was a yellow flag day and very choppy. Plus, I was swimming against the current somewhat. I felt like I was going nowhere. I swam about halfway to the far pier in almost the same time it took to go the whole way last week. No idea how OW swimmers do this all the time ... I'll head back to the Y tomorrow for some sprints.
Mr. Fort had much better luck. He rode part of the B2B course, going 68 miles and averaging 22.3 mph. He's anxious to see how fast he'll be with zipps.
Heading home on Friday. I'll be beached out by then. I've managed to weasel out of a small family reunion that weekend involving travel and young children. I need to get back to my own pool, dammit! And I need to start plotting some good 3-4 day escapes for the rest of the year. I also need to start formulating a training plan like Patricks. Not sure what my meet agenda will be (although I will plan on the Sprint Classic).
Got in late yesterday so I was only able to to 1200 meters yesterday.
Today managed a good 1500 Free in 22:55.85 for 4th place. Had a little difficulty breathing half way thru and had to slow down but after I got my breathing under control it was back to normal pace. When I looked at the splits I held 45-46 per 50 with one 48 (breathing issue here). Very pleased with the swim over all.
With warm up and warm down went 3000 meters today.
This was a sneaky workout.
Warm up
- 4x
-- 100 swim
-- 50 kick no board
-- 50 stroke
Main Set
-- Goal to hold the same pace the entire set
-- 15 seconds rest
-- I picked 1:10 pace (wisely?)
- 12x50 on :50 (held :35s without problem)
- 6x100 on 1:25 (1:10s-1:12s)
- 3x200 on 2:35 (2:21-2:23s)
- 40 seconds extra rest (waiting for Mark was my excuse)
- 1x600 on 7:15 (7:20 oops)
Cool down
- 200 ez
This doesn't look like a hard set and I was worried during the 50s that I picked a pace that was too easy. During the end of the 100s I started to worry and I held back just a little during the 200s knowing that 600 was yet to come. I am very happy with the set, and I probably would have made 7:15 if I hadn't had to raise my head so many times to check to clock to figure out where in the 600 I was. All the clocks short course are on the end walls, with none on the side walls so no checking the clock on a breath.
Mark did this on the same intervals, but didn't grasp what doing the 50s on 50 meant for the 200s. He had a rough time during the 200s and took a couple minute break before the 600 as a result. This is the first time since Lazy Wife stopped swimming that someone has swam a set on my intervals which was nice, especially with the set being as long as it was.
Non-swimming nonsense
I read Fort's article on finding happiness in life and there are two things that were pointed out that I have done (accidentally).
First, when we bought our current house, a prime consideration was its proximity to a masters team. Activities bring happiness, and close proximity to those activities encourages you to more frequently participate in them (from the article).
Second, taking two 3-4 day vacations instead of a 7 day vacation or longer. Our reasoning behind this taking 2 trips instead of one is outside the scope of this forum, but the first trip worked out great, and next year we are planning on taking several short trips instead of longer trips. The idea is that a lot of pleasure from trips is derived from the anticipation that goes along with them, thus more frequent is better. From my experience, after about 5 days on most vacations I don't want to be vacationing anymore. Asia was an exception.
Thanks for the article Fort.

This morning I swam the early AGUA workout. August is such a nice peaceful month in the citythe pool felt very spacious this morning, with just 4-5 swimmers per lc lane. We had a treat this morningCoach Frank from Curl-Burke guest coached (our regular coach, Craig, is away with our national team in Puerto Rico). Frank was super nice and full of energy, at 5:30 in the morning no less. I adapted the workout as necessary for my taper. Heres what we did:
500 lcm warmup
5 x 100 (50 K / 50 easy swim) @ :20 rest
4 x 200 wrap-around, skip-stroke IMs @ 4:00: 1st 200 = FL/BK/BR/FL, 2nd = BK/BR/FR/BK, 3rd = BR/FR/FL/BR, 4th = FR/FL/BK/FR
4 x 300 w/ paddles:
First we had a technique talk on correct paddle technique (keep elbows high and rotate, should feel it in the lats, not the shoulders)
--On the first 300, we wore a paddle on our right hand only, and swam 100 right-arm only (50 w/ left arm at side, 50 w/ left arm in front), 100 left-arm only (50 w/ rt. arm at side, 50 w/ rt. arm in front), then 100 using both arms.
--On the 2nd 300, we wore a paddle on our left hand only, and did the mirror-image of the above
--On the 3rd 300, we wore paddles on both hands and otherwise did the same thing as on #1
--The 4th 300 was paddles on both hands, 200 back build + 100 FR
[Doing the one-arm drills with just one paddle on felt confusing, plus I was getting remarkably far behind my lanemates, so I got out mid-way through the 2nd 300 and watched how my teammates did these drills for a bit. Keeping the motion continuous and fluid seemed to be the keyI think I was stopping and starting too much with each single arm stroke. Then I noticed that two of our swimmers who were PR-bound today were doing some fast swims from a dive in another lane, so I went over there and practiced a few dives and got some good pointers. I hopped back into my lane near the end of the 3rd 300. On the 4th 300, I ditched the paddles and did 4 x 50 BK (25 sprint, 25 easy) + 100 FR easy
4 x 200 w/ fins (150 kick + 50 swim choice)
[I just did the first of these with fins, and really hammered the 50 swim (FR), which was majorly fun. I then warmed down finless for the last two.]
Midway through my warmdown I was submerged under the water doing breaststroke on my back, and I happened to look backwards and saw one of my lanemates doing fly with fins swimming towards me. It looked really cool! After that, I tried lying on the pool bottom and watching several of my friends as they swam by. Its a neat effect.
Over the weekend I watched U.S. nats on tv. Heres some thoughts:
--I wondered what Lochte could go for a 200 BRthat stroke looked great on both of his IMs.
--My disapproval of earlier tech suits on purely aesthetic grounds still stands for the current generation. I dont at all like seeing all 8 finalists wearing the same solid black suit. If Speedo can make sparkly emerald green sneakers for Lochte, cant they custom-make some colorful graphic-y suits for their stars? (Or if not custom makeI think that might run afoul of FINA regs, alasat least produce their suits in a variety of colors and patterns, a la their very successful Flipturns line?) For $375 you should get pretty suit, not just a fast one!
On one night that swimming was not on Universal Sports, they carried a track meet from Stockholm at which Usain Bolt was wearing a cool custom designed singlet. It would be neat to see something similar done with our tech suits.
--The thinner parts of the Speedo suit are very sheer, especially in the sunlight at outdoor meets. Some of the guys almost looked like they were wearing black nylon stockings over codpieces.
--The Arena womens suit (worn by Rebecca Soni) is very aggressively cut in on the sides. Arena racing suits were always cut like that in the 80s and 90s, but its interesting that they went back to that minimal-fabric back design once zippers were outlawed.
--I want to try those starting blocks with the slanted bit in the back. Do any pools that host masters meets in the northeast have them?
Yesterday I went over to my 220y track and did plyo. I had planned to plyo while on vacation in Lake PlacidI had even chosen the grassy infield of the Olympic speed-skating oval as my venuebut had to postpone it for a few days after stubbing my toe on a heavy wooden Adirondack chair. Nothing broken, but the toe swelled up under the nail and was painful for a few days. I was worried that I might lose the toenail, but now it seems fine, and I can once again wear running shoes without pain.
Heres what I did yesterday:
4 x 40y sprint (85, 90, 95, 100%)
5 x 40y skip:
warmup skip
skipping for height, both legs
skipping for height, right leg
skipping for height, left leg
skipping for distance, both legs
I left off the one-legged skips for distance, because my right knee was feeling a little wonky right at the place (MCL) where it was injured last summer. It feels ok today, though, so Im glad of that. Im still very nervous about injuring myself with the plyo, so am being pretty conservative about how much and how quickly I add stuff. I might get in one more plyo session before Zones, if my legs feel good this Wednesday or Thursday, or this might be the last one for a couple of weeks.

Celui ci ressemble beaucoup à pinterest je trouve. Bien pour de la photo!
Clean,clear,shiny,superb theme!
The fonts are very readable,and the layout is perfect for any image-rich blog
i have been using this theme for about a month now. Even though it is a great theme; you have to edit raw code to change something simple. This can result in wasting a lot of time.
There is also a lack of widget options on the homepage. If you could place widgets in the footer (which wouldn't mess with the great home page outline), life would be so much easier with this theme.
other than that, great theme and very different to the traditional WordPress structure.
It's a nice Pintrest rip off theme but nowhere near as well designed but I guess that's for copyright reasons. Lots of bugs around imagery. For example, FB links on the image pages open a new window with the same content, not the FB login window. However they work on the post pages.

India, Bangladesh and Nepal are in need of urgent aid and development support, following the latest disaster.
NGOs and development agencies are acting swiftly to the South Asia flood emergency - which has already displaced in excess of 20 million people. Donations can be made via Christian Aid, which operates with secular, multifaith and church partners - and promotes relief and development irrespective of creed. This point is worth stressing, given that there is (rightful) concern in many quarters about 'faith based' initiatives working in a sectarian way.Tweet

Max Storms
Nov. 9, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The 2016 Olympics may still be 1,000 days away, but they are a lot closer for current Tiger Max Storms, who stamped his ticket for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon last weekend. Storms, who will close out his eligibility after the indoor track season, was the fourth finisher overall and the second American in the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon on Nov. 2, clocking in at 1:04:28.1 for the 13.1-mile race.
"I don't have cross country eligibility, so I needed something to keep me focused and about two months ago picked out the Indianapolis Half Marathon as a good thing to do that," said Storms, who closed out his cross country last year with a 56th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. "Initially, I didn't think I would run as well as I did, but I changed my goals through training when I got more and more fit. I knew 65-minutes was the standard, so decided to shoot to hit that and qualify for the Trials."
He certainly did that, putting in a final time over 30-seconds below that 65-minute mark after traveling out with friends and sleeping on a hotel room floor. He'll have a couple more years now to continue preparing for the Trials, the location of which will not be released until early December.
"I had never run a half-marathon before, so had no idea how it was going to feel," said Storms. "It felt really good, I kind of took to it like a fish to water. I just gained confidence throughout the race and was able to finish pretty easily under the standard. At about ten miles I knew I was going to qualify [for the Trials], so just tried not to mess up those last three."
Now the focus is back on track season with the first meet only two months away. Storms, who already owns the Missouri 10,000-meter School Record in outdoor track, is now planning on taking the confidence from Indianapolis and directing it towards a second Missouri School Record - the indoor 5,000-meter run, which is held by friend and recent graduate Dan Quigley.

Defensive end: Greg Hardy, Panthers; Cameron Jordan, Saints; Robert Quinn, Rams; Cameron Wake, Dolphins; J.J. Watt, Texans; Mario Williams, Bills.
Interior lineman: Gerald McCoy, Buccaneers; Haloti Ngata, Ravens; Dontari Poe, Chiefs; Justin Smith, 49ers; Ndamukong Suh, Lions; Kyle Williams, Bills.

Among its offensive players are linemen Branden Albert (knee, elbow), Jeff Allen (groin/hand) and Jon Asamoah (knee), tight ends Kevin Brock (shoulder) and Anthony Fasano (ankle/knee), wide receiver Donnie Avery (shoulder) and running back Anthony Sherman (knee).
The defensive players listed as probable are cornerback Brandon Flowers (ankle), linebacker Dezman Moses (knee) and tackle Dontari Poe (ankle). Punter Dustin Colquitt (knee) is also probable.

Other defensive contributors were Sean Smith (four solo tackles), safety Eric Berry (two solo tackles, two pass defenses, one fumble recovery), linebacker Justin Houston (two solo tackles) and defensive tackle Dontari Poe (two solo tackles).
Poe added two other solo tackles to strengthen his good start. He will try to stay on a roll Thursday night at Philadelphia.

A 6-3, 346-pounder out of Memphis, Poe played in every game last season, making 38 tackles.

RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT to Kick Off Year-Long Run At LVH

April 03, 2014
|Related: RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT
The history of rock 'n' roll will come to life like never before when "RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT," a one-of-a-kind rock concert experience boasting the ultimate set list, kicks off a year-long run Saturday, March 9th at The LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Tickets for "RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" go on sale Saturday, February 9th at 10am.
"RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" performs nightly (dark on Fridays and schedule subject to change) at 9pm in The LVH Theater, the same stage where Elvis Presley performed 858 consecutive sold-out shows, breaking all Vegas attendance records.
Narrated, sung and acted along with compelling imagery including historical footage, the show transports the audience back to a magical musical Journey from 1948 to 1989, traversing the genre's history chronologically through the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. "RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" features classic anthems from The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Eagles, Queen, Van Halen, AC/DC, Journey, Free, Bryan Adams, Supertramp, Toto, Deep Purple, and more, truly boasting "The Greatest Set List Ever."
These timeless gems are translated on stage live and loud by an all-star band comprised of Howard Leese [Guitar] (Heart, Bad Company), Tracii Guns [Guitar] (LA Guns, Guns n' Roses), Robin McAuley [Lead Vocals] (MSG, Survivor), John Payne [Lead Vocals and Bass] (Asia), Paul Shortino [Vocals] (Rough Cutt, Quite Riot), Jay Schellen [Drums] (Badfinger, Asia), Andrew Freeman [Lead Vocals and Guitars] (Lynch Mob, The Offspring), and Michael T. Ross [Keyboards] (Lita Ford, Hardline). In addition, rotating special guests will be confirmed, kicking off with Bobby Kimball [Lead Vocals] (Toto), followed by Joe Lynn Turner [Lead Vocals] (Rainbow, Deep Purple) joining the show at The End of March.
"RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" follows a compelling theatrical narrative told via narration by acclaimed actor Richard Malmos in front of the giant ROCK VAULT onstage. The music, performance, and visuals come together to tell this unforgettable tale.
Written by esteemed Grammy Award-winning record producer David Kershenbaum (Joe Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Supertramp) and musician, producer and vocalist John Payne (Asia), "RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" was born to give audiences an illuminating look at the history of rock and for those who lived it, an exciting trip down memory lane. It's a rock-u-mentary you do not want to miss.
"The LVH is thrilled to host what promises to become a must-see show for Las Vegas visitors and locals alike," said LVH Vice President of Entertainment, Rick White. "Classic rock music...real rock stars...the legendary LVH Theater...the story of the greatest musical genre of all time...it doesn't get any better than that," added White.
The VAULT will open and you may never view rock 'n' roll the same way.
Ticket prices for "RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT" range from $49 to a special Rock Star Package for $100(which includes tickets in first five rows, t-shirt, signed concert program, signed album, meet and greet and VIP pass) plus fees. Tickets can be purchased by visiting The LVH box office or by logging onto thelvh.com,vegas.com, or ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 702-732-5755 or 1-800-222-5361.

Originally written on Baseball Hot Corner | Last updated 7/4/13
The Miami Marlins offense has been handicapped for the first two months of the season and their record reflected it, as they went 14-41 combined in April and May. They just finished their first winning month in what seems like an eternity for them by going 15-10 in June. The main reason they struggled in the first two months was that they had key players injured on their team during that time. One of those players is the best offensive player on the team in right fielder Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton is your prototypical power guy in the line up. He has the ability to hit the ball a long way, and puts on a show every day during batting practice. He is the one guy on their team with the game on the line that you don't want to face in the ninth inning. Stanton is only 23 years old, but has already earned a reputation of being one of the most feared hitters in baseball. The other player that is crucial to the success of their franchise is outfielder Logan Morrison. Morrison missed the fir...

Well-known skeptic and acclaimed popular science writer Martin Gardner presents a complete history of the Urantia movement, from its beginnings in the early 20th century to the present day. In addition to providing an outline of the Urantia cult's worldview, Gardner presents strong evidence to establish the identity of the man whose trancelike orations formed the basis of the book. Gardner also analyzes the flaws in Urantian science and points out many instances of plagiarism in various sections of the book.In a new postscript to this paperback edition, Gardner details recent developments in the Urantia movement, corrects some errors in the original edition, and responds to critical reactions from Urantia believers to his skeptical perspective on the book and the movement.Although there are other histories of The Urantia Book, this is the only one written by a skeptic. Anyone interested in the New Age, cults, or the development of new religions will find much fascinating material in Gardner's thorough overview.

Director Ed Wood, Jr.'s auspicious feature film debut took on a subject no less controversial than tranvestites, one of the few new subjects still available by that time. Originally titled "I Changed My Sex," and generally considered one of the worst films of all time, the film has still maintained a solid cult following over the decades due to Wood's decidedly distinctive style and z-budget production values. Ephemera from the film of any kind is rare.
The aim of the film's producer, George Weiss, was to capitalize on the story Christina Jorgensen, who in 1952 became the first man widely known to undergo sex reassignment surgery. The film's first half guides the viewer down a crooked path that includes multiple narration techniques, BDSM pornography, and a buffalo stampede in order to convey a story about a man named Glen who wishes to become a transvestite, struggling to gain acceptance from his girlfriend. The second half, added largely at the demand of the distributor to include sex change in the content, is about a pseudohermaphrodite named Alan who fights his way through World War II in women's underwear, finally returning from the conflict to have the surgery he/she has always desired.
The photos cover most key elements from the film, including narrator Lugosi in his armchair, Glenda in her new angora sweater, the doctor in front a female physiology chart, the surgery, and the luckless woman involved with Glen.
All photos vintage silver gelatin prints, Very Good plus to Near Fine, 8 x 10 inches (20.5 x 25.5 cm).

Famous for his two-step Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross does it again! This spring, the NYC skin wizard introduces the beauty industry's first anti-aging, exfoliating self tanner with active Vitamin D- the perfect multi-tasking beauty treatment. It provides a radiant, sun kissed glow year round without exposure to harmful UVA/UVB rays. In fact, studies have even shown that women who use self tanners have a significant reduced risk of sunburn and sunbathing activity- leading to healthier skin overall. Formulated with Active Vitamin D, "the sun vitamin", and Soy Protein, Alpha Beta Glow Pad guarantees believable, natural color for the face and body.
To up the ante even more, Dr. Gross added his infamous blend of Alpha& Beta Hydroxy Acids to the formula along with Antioxidants and Vitamins to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and imperfections, improve texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of pores. Microencapsulated DHA, the key ingredient, provides odorless, streak-free application and time-released custom color for a look that's not painted on, without blotchy fading. For best results, apply Glow Pad following the Alpha Beta® Peel.

Peanuts vs Almonds
When you need a nutty snack, what's better for you peanuts or almonds? You may associate peanuts with your childhood – peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or getting a bag of peanuts at a baseball game. However, almonds are hitting their stride in light of the rise of peanut allergies and research which shows that eating an ounce of almonds per day may help you lose weight and keep it off. Almond butter and almond milk are also becoming more and more prevalent on your grocer's shelf.
Are Peanuts or Almonds Healthier?
When comparing nutrition facts labels – peanuts vs almonds – you'll find that peanuts contain slightly more calories and saturated fat for a one ounce serving. Almonds are denser in iron and calcium as well as antioxidants like vitamin E. When it comes to taste between almonds and peanuts, almonds have a more unique flavor and take longer to chew which has been tied to keeping you more satisfied on a smaller amount. However, peanuts in the shell have a leg up in the sense that you need to crack them open, rather than putting more than one in your mouth at a time.
While both nuts contain beneficial nutrients such as heart healthy unsaturated fats, fiber, and protein, when you compare the nutrient and health benefits of peanuts and almonds, almonds come out the victor.

7 Back-To-School Tips For Kids With Special Needs
Back to school is always a hectic time of year (understatement alert). But when you have a kid with special needs it can be even more of a challenge, especially if you have a child who doesn't like changes in routine. I've found that getting Max a new backpack or some other new school item early in August helps; it gets him psyched, and it comforts him to know he's prepared. I asked Facebook parents of kids with special needs what makes the return to school go more smoothly for their kids and them. Their strategies:
• Get back into a routine. "I start the routine two weeks prior, bedtime and morning wake-up. I let him pick out his new lunch box and pack up his school supplies and pick his first day of school outfit. I drive him to school to re-introduce it for familiarity."—Amy S.
• Keep it visual. "We do a monthly schedule color-coordinated for each of the four kids, and now a color for the dog! Kids and I like to see what's ahead and what we get to look forward to."—Nancy B.
• Two words: "Online shopping!"—Maria K.
• Build excitement. "A giant wall calendar shouts the term 'starting day' and conversation touches on the new teachers and responsibilities."—Dave W.
• Get some teacher scoop. "It helps to have a hint of what the coming year will bring. Some inkling of who this teacher is, into whose hands I'm about to place my child's well-being and education…. I'm in a state of horror as I know none of that yet!"—Barbara H.
• Practice homework to build confidence. "We do some 'school' work from workbooks every day to reinforce what he already knows!"—Amy S.
• Know that it will get better. "My son actually does a lot better during the school year. He gets bored at home, and begins cycling through his preferred activities at a much faster rate. But adjusting to change is never easy for him. I expect to see increased frustration and aggression during the first few weeks of school. Knowing that situation will improve as he becomes more comfortable in school makes it easier to deal with a change in behavior."–Regan B.

New for 2015The BMW 2 Series now offers the xDrive all-wheel-drive system with the 228i and M235i, in addition to making the Track Handling Package available on 228i Coupe models.
Vehicle OverviewThe BMW 2 Series is a sporty coupe that fits below the 4 Series as the automaker's smallest available coupe. The 2 Series replaces the discontinued 1 Series.
SummaryThe 2015 BMW 2 Series is a two-door coupe or convertible that is available in rear- or all-wheel drive, and comes with an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. xDrive models are only available with the automatic, as are all convertibles. The 228i models get a turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 that makes 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque, which is good for the following EPA-estimated city/highway ratings: Coupe 23/35 mpg (automatic/RWD) and 22/34 mpg (manual/RWD) 23/35 mpg (automatic/AWD); Convertible 23/34 mpg (automatic/RWD) and 22/33 mpg (automatic/AWD). The M235i models are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 that makes 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, which received a range of EPA-ratings: Coupe 21/32 mpg (automatic), 19/28 mpg (manual), 20/30 mpg (automatic/AWD); Convertible 21/32 mpg (automatic), 19/26 mpg (manual).
Notable features on the 2015 2 Series include an 8.8-inch iDrive infotainment screen, Harman Kardon premium audio system, adaptive HID headlights, parking assist (automated parallel parking and spot finding), a moonroof, BMW Apps (including M Laptimer), lane departure warning, frontal collision warning/city collision mitigation, pedestrian warning, and an adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers.
The 2015 BMW 2 Series has not been evaluated by the NHTSA but is considered a 2015 Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS.
What We ThinkThe 2015 BMW 2 Series is a return to form for BMW, welcomed by enthusiasts (and journalists) because of its simplicity. The things that made the 3 Series great are alive and well in the 2 Series, but have become dull in the more luxury-oriented 3. In the M235i, BMW offers "the best six-cylinder motor not made by Porsche" and a chassis we've called "perfectly balanced" and "predictable."
In an Around the Block Review of a 2014 BMW M235i coupe, we said, "The M235i exhibits the kind of focus that is too often missing from modern BMWs that try to please an ever-wider audience." We liked it so much that we named it a 2015 AUTOMOBILE All Star, and after a spirited drive through some twisty, deserted, back roads with a Volkswagen GTI we said, "The [2-Series] and GTI might be starting from two polar opposites—a rear-wheel-drive coupe trying to downsize and simplify, the front-wheel-drive hatch trying to muscle up -- but the goal is roughly the same. Fun for real people on actual roads."

I want the fairy tale
***Wouldn't you know as soon as I would let my subscription run out, I would get several responses and emails! I am not going to be able to renew it for a little while. ABOUT ME: Well, first off, a little bit about how my friends see me. When asked, they described me as: versatile, sweet (I have gotten that a lot), compassionate, kind, dependable, talented, hard-working, loyal, dedicated, intellectual, philosophical, sincere, honest, fun-loving, humorous, altruistic, artistic, musical, spiritual, thoughtful, forgiving, optimistic, genuine, down-to-earth, etc. If you want a better mental image in addition to the pictures: people are always saying they think I look like Reese Witherspoon. Hope that helps somewhat! ;) I am very loyal to friends and family, and I love my dogs to pieces! They are my baby girls! I often like to do little things for those I love that shows them I care and am thinking of them. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. I will go out of my way to help someone in need, and love performing "random acts of kindness". I also like to experience life in all sorts of ways, especially trying things I have never done before. I am usually not afraid to step outside my "comfort zone". SOME OF MY GENERAL INTERESTS: These are some of the things I put in another general section of another popular website where you tell all about yourself. I thought it would be good to include them here as well. "These are a few of my favorite things", that I have not included elsewhere in my profile: art..romance..the rustic mountains..old fashioned, traditional ways of living..morals and virtues..country music and country living...americana..a beautiful sunset..small towns..the fifties way of life..30s, 40s and 50s clothing..anything or anyone full of class and elegance...nurturing others..elderly people and their stories..old photos..Thomas Kincade artwork..Nashville..traveling..landscaping..reading..movies...etc. WHO I AM LOOKING FOR: There are many things I would ultimately look for in a guy. But, I guess the most important thing is he is a strong Christian. If his life displays this, then most of the other desires I have will probably naturally fall into place! In detail, it would be awesome if he possessed some of the following qualities: outstanding character and moral values, passionate in general not only towards me but also about his own hobbies and interests, loves children, loves God with all his heart and "on fire" for the Word and his faith (following the Word as closely as he can); altruistic, generous to others, motivated, creative as in can "think outside the box", dedicated, selfless, understanding, caring, positive and optimistic, genuine and humble, easy-going and even-tempered, a good communicator, has a good sense of humor, etc. etc.

I don't believe in astrology
I have Dogs
I like Birds, Cats, Exotic Pets, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc., Horses
Three dogs, long story...Bebe (chihuahua), and two pure breed Beagle sisters (Minnie and Ginnie) :-)
Ultra Conservative
Of course, all the important music venues in Nashville are top on my list! I love to travel to try out different destinations where I have never been, especially if it is a historical spot or has some other significance or personal interest..
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY
Favorite books: several types of non-fiction Christian, motivational, music-related/ Favorite TV Shows: mainly old classics like "Beauty and the Beast", "Little House", history and mysteries, Animal Planet, etc./ Tons of favorite movies and music
I am an aspiring country music singer/songwriter with a wide variety of interests. To just list a few: singing out, hanging out with close friends, traveling, just experiencing the wonderful, fulfilling aspects of a purposeful life!
Celebrity biographies. Also, I like reading motivational and inspirational books. I also keep up on my country music! I love to read, and wish there was more time in the day to catch up on the books I have already bought, just waiting to be read. :)

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Joseph Lowery shows how to create a robust WordPress-based site using Dreamweaver. The course lays out the essentials of planning a site, explains how to implement custom sidebars, and demonstrates building page templates. The course also explains how to integrate PHP functionality and extend the WordPress database.
While the same header across all pages in a web site is fairly common, sometimes you need to modify the header to make a particular site section really stand out. In this video, I'll show you how to change the code in the header.php file in Dreamweaver to accommodate any number of custom page templates. So let's open up header.php from our theme folder, tpa. I'll switch to Code view. As you can see, the header area has actually already been adapted once with an if-else clause.
So I'll scroll down a little bit here so you can see the entire body area. This is set up now so that if there is a page template named working_future.php, as you can see on line 31, it will insert two specific images: logo_working.png and working_name.gif. Otherwise, if it's not this specific page template, show us the default images: logo.png and tpa_name.gif.
Let's expand the conditional statement to check for another template, our new Explorers template. The easiest way to do that is to copy this if statement that we see here all the way down to, but not including, the closing PHP bracket. Then I'm going to just add a little bit of whitespace here so we can concentrate on the code we're working on, paste that right in the middle, and I'm going to change this else statement to an else-if statement, and we'll have it check the condition within the parentheses using a WordPress function called is_page_template, as you see employed in the if statement up above. And the name we're looking for here is the name of our template file, explorers.php.
Now let's change one of the images to identify our page more clearly. We'll keep the same logo, but let's change the underlying name, so instead of spelling out Trans Planet Airlines, it says explorers. So I'll change it from tpa_ name.gif to explorers.gif. Now I happened to know that this has a different height as well, so I'm going to change the height from 37 to 48. Okay, let's get it rid of our additional spaces here, save our page, and let's preview it.
So I'll move back to my index.php page and toggle in and out of Live view to make sure that we have the most recent version. There you can see my new Explorers navigation item. So I'll press the Ctrl key, Command key on the Mac, and click on that, and now you can see that our header has changed specific to this template. And we have TPA Explorers now. If I go back to any of the other pages, like Planets, you'll see different headers for those as well.
You can see that the default header is showing and if I click on the default header to go back to my homepage, it's there as well. So it's only when we go into Explorers that we get the custom header here. Of course you can do whatever you need to to transform your header to work with your custom page using this conditional technique. Just add your code in the proper if or else-if clause and you're good to go.

Our clients have included blue-chip law firms, high quality boutique practices, middle market growing firms, large firm spin-offs, and small firms with big growth goals.
Our corporate and institutional practice derives from assignments in most major practice disciplines for Fortune 500 companies, large institutions, partnerships, not for profits across the complete range of legal disciplines.
Law firm and business assignments come from industries across the board with unique expertise offered in related regulatory matters.
Our reputation for results has been hard-earned; it allows clients to skip the process of asking for references and conduct their own.
