Alien dir. by Ridley Scott
Dir. Ridley Scott
Can you believe that this film is 31 years old? Thirty one years old. That's as old as I am. And yet it is still as effective as ever. And perfect for the RIP's Peril on the Screen.
You probably all know the plot; a commercial space vessel's crew is woken from cryo-sleep midway through their journey home. The ship's computer has picked up a transmission that may be an SOS call. As they investigate they find an abandoned ship but suffer an attack on a crew member. They retreat to their own ship, carrying their injured member, and ignoring quarantine procedures, they undergo treatment from the science officer. And then things begin to go wrong…

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City fans saw what looked more like a hockey match than a boys basketball game Friday night.
The Eagles hosted East Noble in the Northeast Hoosier Conference opener — in a game with two technical fouls and two Columbia City players who took a trip to the trainer's office with injuries.
Despite the rough-housing, the Eagles came out with their sixth victory, by a 76-35 score — improving to 6-0.
The physical play began late in the first quarter, when Columbia City had a 20-12 lead.
Though no technical foul was called, Austin Paul was knocked down. The sound of his head thumping the floor echoed across the gymnasium, taking him out of the game for the rest of the first half.
East Noble's first technical foul came in the second quarter, when nearly the same thing happened to Drew Benedict.
The second technical foul came four minutes later after Derek Hinen was fouled en route to the bucket.
Hinen hit his free throws and Mason Coverstone converted his fourth of four free throws from technical fouls, giving Columbia City a 36-22 lead.
Hinen was pulled from the game late in the second quarter, due to blood on his jersey, but despite missing their leading scorer for the remainder of the half, the Eagles still carried a 45-22 advantage at halftime.
Hinen scored 19 points in the first two quarters, a 3-pointer short of East Noble's entire score.
The second half appeared less like a hockey match and more like a basketball game, as Columbia City continued to stretch its lead.
Coverstone knocked down three 3-pointers in the third quarter. He finished the game with 19 points, two steals and an assist.
Along with his game-high 28 points, Hinen led the team in assists with five and steals with six.
Daniel Woll had three blocks to go with his 14 oints and six rebounds, and Drew Benedict chipped in 12 points.
The Eagles' defense held East Noble to two points in the final quarter, making the final score 76-35.
Columbia City is back in action Tuesday, hosting Wawasee in a non-conference match-up.View more articles in:

JACK'S CREEK — Church members who spoke out against their preacher for alleged racist remarks recently learned by mail that their membership at the church had been terminated.
In December, several members of the Jack's Creek Baptist Church appealed to the Southern Baptist Convention after they said their pastor used racially insensitive language from both behind the pulpit and in a Sunday School class. Appealing to forces outside of the church has earned each of the protesters a loss of membership.
Ozark Slone, Burman Newman, Freddy Johnson and Mary Hall, the members who challenged Rev. Paul Grainger's alleged use of "the N-word" in church, each received letters this last week notifying them that their membership in the church has been terminated.
In a letter from Jack's Creek Baptist Church dated March 7, 2013, Burman Newman was told, "This letter is written to inform you of the Jack's Creek Baptist Church's decision regarding disciplinary action that was taken on your behalf at the last Church's Business Meeting, as you have caused and continue to cause disruption and affliction to the Church."
According the Newman, the other members who opposed Grainger's use of racial epithets in church also received similar letters. Newman says he wasn't told of the meeting, and his first knowledge of the disciplinary action came from the letter he received by certified mail.
"The only thing I've done is tell the truth," Newman told The Times Wednesday.
Tom Biddle, leader of the local Southern Baptist Association, said he received a letter of apology March 4 from Rev. Grainger concerning his racially insensitive comments, three days before the letters were drafted depriving the protesting churchgoers of their membership. Biddle said the church is autonomous, and that no one at the local, state or national level can force any changes upon them.
"It's a church matter and they're going to have to figure it out on their own," Biddle said.
Newman says that after Grainger wrote the letter to the association, he considered the matter done and settled. "It was over. We couldn't have done anything. We was dead in the water until he came back to get revenge. Revenge is belonged to the Lord."
When asked how going to the press yet again would be received, Newman said, "We'll see. As of this point, I'm not a member.
"He wrongly done every one of us, wrongfully done every one of us only because he couldn't get by with what he wanted to."
Newman says the meeting to dismiss him and the others from the church was held in secret with only a few members and Grainger in attendance. Time staff attempted to contact those who attended the meeting. One, Barb Foster, declined to comment.
Elvis Isaac said the move to oust Newman, Slone, Johnson and Hall was, "Church discipline, and we did it within the church body."
Rev. Grainger also could not be reached for comment.
In January the now-ousted members sent a letter sent to the Southern Baptist Convention, saying, "In a day and time when we finally have an African American as the United States president, and an African American as president of the Southern Baptist Association, these types of remarks should not be tolerated. This has greatly upset several members of Jack's Creek Baptist Church, some of whom have African American family members and biracial grandchildren, and feel as though these remarks were made to discourage their participation at Jack's Creek Baptist Church."
When Times staff spoke to Grainger in December about the claims made in the letter, he said he was unsure if he had made racially sensitive remarks and that no one in his church had come to him about stepping down.
Given the controversy that continues to surround the church, The Times asked Newman why he and his fellow objectors didn't simply leave the church and find a new place to worship.
"It was the first church I've ever been in. I helped build the church. We got a new church. I've got a lot of money in it, and time and effort, and all I did was tell the truth," Newman said. "There's not a soul there that helped build the church any more. He's (Grainger) run them all off, and that's not right."

JWOWW Has Wardrobe Malfunction at MTV New Year's Show
The morning after New Year's Eve is often full of regret. As for JWOWW, she probably wishes the ultra-short sequined dress she wore to MTV's New Year's Eve event had a few extra inches of fabric! The barely-there shift covered up all her no-no bits just fine—so long as she was standing straight up! However, when photogs caught her bent in a huddle with a couple of her Jersey Shore co-stars, they captured a bit more of her ass-ets than she expected! (Click here to see the NSFW pic!)
JWOWW's fashion faux pas wasn't the only technical difficulty of the night. According to her tweets, she and Snooki got had to recover fast when their teleprompter stopped working. "Opening @MTV New Year's Eve with the teleprompter going out and me and @snooki improv-ing!!! Holy sh*t wild."

If I cash 1.000.000€ in the lottery then...
I would certainly say: Oh that´s really a lot of money!
Your house is burning...
I don´t want to imagine this situation!
An Affair to Remember...
The Europecup in Russia / Sochi. After landing we first saw palms around the sea – incredible!
What means snowboarding to you?
Snowboarding is a very interesting sport for me, but its not a philosophy or something else. I love it, I love to be in the mountains and I love it to go snowboarding with my friends. And I love the SBX-Races with the best SBX-Riders of the world.
Has your life changed being a snowboard pro?
Sure, like Germans say: He makes his hobby to his profession – I hope I can do it many years and I hope to be successful in the next races.
What kind of rider are you?
I am SBX racer. I love it to go side by side with other competitors in a well shaped SBX park.
What do you like most about Völkl Snowboards?
Völkl has so many experience with racing material, with skis and with snowboards, the Völkl constructors know exact, how to shape a board for the best riders of the world. The SBX-boards are very fast, on hard conditions they have an excellent performance, so in SBX more and more riders take Völkl-Boards.
The place to be?
2014 Sochi Olympic Games in Russia, I hope I will have a chance, last season I had a FIS-Europa-Cup-Competition there.
Your signature trick?
First at the gate to start and to be first at the end of a sbx-race, that´s the best trick I know.
What kind of style is up to date? What trick is done?
To make snowboarding-tricks is another sport as I prefer. I have seen unbelievable tricks, these sportsmen are artists, but I like to go fast, to jump fast and to go fast through the curves... It's another sport.
How do you motivate yourself?
The German National Team SBX is a very good team – with good trainers, physiotherapeuts and medical care and with very good methods of training, physical and mental!
You had any dangerous situations on the mountain so far?
I am lucky... up to now, I hadn´t.
Highlights of last season?
There were much highlights, in Kongsberg Norway I got the second place and had my qualifikation for the preolympic races in Sochi on the original place of the Olympic Games 2014. And in March I raced in Spain at the Junior World Championships 2012 at Sierra Nevada... an important experiences for me.
Blue bird & perfect conditions – who should be in your riding crew?
An easy question – my SBX-Team, its cool and we riders have much fun together.
The best Snowboard trip ever was...
...my trip to Sochi. Super racetrack, the best riders of the world and a big party at the end of the trip.
What stuff is in your backpack when you head up to ride or travel?
MP3-Player, GoPro, shoes and my helmet.
What is your favourite contest & why?
The Olympic Winter Games, the sport event of the whole world with the best sportsmen of the world.
What do you do when you are not riding?
I make my car license these days, a little late, all my friends made it when they were 17 ½.
In five years I want...
to be well-known in the World Cup and want to start at the X-Games.
Life is to short to ride a bad board!!!

CLEMSON Dabo Swinney said his program is on the doorstep of greatness following Clemsons win over LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
You cant win 12 (games) until you win 11, Swinney said. You cant win a national championship until you learn how to win games like this.
Is Clemson close to becoming a national title contender?
An analysis of national champions since 2001 found there are characteristics shared by BCS title teams. How does Clemson stack up? Do the Tigers have the proper ingredients?
REQUIRED COMPONENTS First-round picks
Every national title team since 2001 has had at least two starters who became first-round NFL draft picks. Alabama (corner Dee Milliner, defensive tackle Jesse Williams, center Barrett Jones) will continue the trend. Teams need players who present physical mismatches. Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins is projected to be a 2014 first-rounder even after a disappointing 2012 season. Clemson requires a difference-maker to emerge on defense.
Preseason Top 10 ranking
Clemson could begin next season in the top 10 of polls, even with the early departure of receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
This is important as 10 of the last 12 national champs began the season in the top 10. Notre Dame was attempting to become the first team in the BCS era to begin a season unranked and win a national title.
Dominant defensive line
Elite defensive line play has been the key in the SECs seven straight national titles. Nine of the last 11 national champions produced at least one defensive lineman selected in the first 35 picks of the draft and Alabama figures to make it 10 of the last 12 title winners.
Clemson does not have any proven defensive line stars but Clemson does have a number of intriguing young players, including defensive tackle D.J. Reader and defensive end Vic Beasley, who registered eight sacks in a part-time role. Freshman tackle Carlos Watkins is talented and figures to be more involved next season.
Third-down efficiency
Six of the last seven BCS champions ranked 21st or better in converting third downs, converting at a rate of at least 44 percent. Clemson ranked fifth in 2012 at 51.7 percent.
Elite rushing attack
The last six national champions have finished in the top 20 in rushing offense. Alabama ranks 19th in the country. Clemson graduates 1,000-yard rusher Andre Ellington and has little proven depth at the position. Roderick McDowell will likely top the spring depth chart at tailback.
Stopping the run
Take away the run and opponents are forced into third-and-long situations and become one-dimensional. Run defense also speaks to the physical nature of a team. This season, Alabama ranked No. 1 in the nation in run defense, Notre Dame ranked fourth. Ten of the last 12 national champions have had top 20 rushing defenses. Clemson must improve in this area, ranking 59th, though showing improvement against LSU.
LUXURY ITEMS Hurry-up offense
Clemsons offense took a toll on LSU as a number of LSU players dealt with cramps on Dec. 31, when Clemson outgained LSU 159 yards to 1 in the fourth quarter.
Clemson totaled a whopping 100 plays. It doesnt hurt to have an up-tempo offense. Of the last eight national champions, four Texas (2005), Florida (2006), Alabama (2009) and Auburn (2010) ranked in the 20 of offensive plays.
Star quarterback
Having an elite college quarterback is not a prerequisite for a national title team. Ohio State won with Craig Krenzel, Miami won with Ken Dorsey, and LSU won with Matt Mauck. But it sure doesnt hurt to have one, either. Just look at Auburn (Cam Newton) and Texas (Vince Young). Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd will return for his senior season and he could be a Heisman contender.
Proven coach
While Swinney is relatively light on experience, having completed his fourth full season, five BCS-title winning coaches since 2001 (Larry Coker at Miami, Gene Chizik at Auburn, Jim Tressel at Ohio State, Urban Meyer at Florida and Pete Carroll at Southern Cal) had four or fewer years of experience as power conference head coaches.
Clemson has some of the ingredients to have a special 2013. Clemson is excellent on third down, the Tigers have at least one projected first-rounder in Sammy Watkins, Clemson could begin the year ranked in the top 10 and will benefit from an improving defensive front. But Clemson has questions surrounding its ground game and defensive front.
The Tigers might be on the doorstep of greatness, but there are questions to answer before it can enter and join college footballs elite.

I'm going to start by saying I really do enjoy the game. By far, WvWvW is my favor part.
My experience with dungeons on the other hand, has been extremely disappointing. Currently the dungeons feel like a mess. I wish I didn't have to say that, but it's true. I find them to consist of dying and running back until the pull is dead.
There are two main reasons for this in my eyes:
1) There is no way to really "taunt" in the game and assure agro.
I know there are no tanks or healers in this game, but a way to taunt would go very far. It's really hard to kite a mob if you can't have it focus on you, and with the amount of powerful AoE in this game, it's hard to be the only person damaging a mob. The only other solution I can think of besides adding a taunt would be to lower the AoE damage drastically, but that would hurt a large amount of class balance.
2) This game is way too fast.
I found that most of us were dying before we even had a chance to do anything. My first runs consisted of me being specced nades AoE on my engineer. I started dying as soon as a mob touched me, because without a tank in this game, there really is no way to garuntee agro is held. My next runs were as a support elixer engineer, which was much more satisfying. That being said, when my two DPS players died instantly from stunlock, I was the next target, and I definitely didn't last very long. The only solution I can think of is if the developers lowered the damage output of mobs but increased their health. Make it so a DPS has a chance to live considering he will be pulling more threat. Most times they die before they get a chance to dodge.
Now I'm not looking for "Maybe you should play another game yaryaryayryaryaryarysdfvskdk fs af" or "Lol I've been telling everyone this game sucks lololololol". I'm looking for constructive feedback. Are all the dungeons like this and have you guys experienced the same thing I have? Anyway, thoughts?

this is what ANET has said about dungeon difficulty
our own internal testing teams and alpha test groups learned to beat them using a combination of player skill, synchronous builds, strong use of cross-profession combos, use of cooking/consumable buffs (these make a huge difference!) and well formed player tactics. By comparison, after having months to play the game and the time our alpha was complete, some of our better dungeon groups felt the explorable dungeons were too easy for launch, we decided not to make them any harder given the expected player skill on launch.

As far as 1 is concerned, of course most dungeons are like that. Gotta watch out for your own health. Mobs tend to go for the lowest hp target first.
As far as 2 goes, I don't find it that overwhelming as far as it goes. The problem most players are having is that you can't build straight damage and expect to be in the mobs face. You have to build at least some tanky with vit, or you will fall over everytime. Its reality. You shouldn't expect any less either. I find most mobs have almost too much HP to start with, and the damage output is at a decent medium, that I and others can live as long as they utilize their dodge and cds effectively to keep themselves up.
Dungeons are more learning curve intensive than anything else in the game PvE wise, and thats how it should be. I don't want them to make it any less difficult, only because if I blew through content I wouldn't learn anything and I would be disappointed in the fact that the instance wouldn't have a lasting impact on me. If I blew through something, like one of CoF explorer mode, I get bored out of my mind because it's nothing special. No cool mechanics. No special fights. Just a quick and boring adventure, yipee.
Dungeons literally help you realize how you should spec and play with your build to match the damage and dps needed to conquer it. Its not forcing you to play tanky, its more that you are not suited to sitting back and keeping yourself as safe as needed to keep yourself alive, so you need to change your play habits or gear accordingly. I never once complained about having to go tanky on my warrior, because I enjoyed the melee aspect and 2 handed weapons and knew that building pure dps would eventually get me into trouble.

"No path is darker then when your eyes are shut." -Flemeth
IMVPO the story mode of dungeons NEED to be casual/PUG friendly. Then they can add 1 or 2 more difficult modes if "hardcore" is not enough for some. But SOME people just want a fun time in a dungeon.
As it is, it simply isn't.
People don't ask questions to get answers - they ask questions to show how smart they are. - Dogbert

(like golem in SE but the rest of with ease..) also it sounds like you don't even play the game... its very common knowledge there are a total of 33 dungeons (in a way). 8 base dungeons with a story mode, and each of the first 7 have 3 explorable paths which are much more difficult than story (most story are plenty pug worthy) Arah, the final dungeon, has 4 explorable paths.

First came pride, then envy.
The main problem with this game is the way they introduced dungeons to players. They came from a more traditional MMO background, with the tank/healer/dps setup, and yet new players are not shown how to use combos effectively. The balance is off, especially for an entry-level dungeon such as AC. They also could have restricted Explorer mode until 80, because this way, they are perceived "heroic and/or hardmode", as seen in other MMOs. Then again, the downscaling would be pointless for them too.
The best description i've read, that describes dungeons in GW2, is "It's like a tank dying, and everyone has a "oh s*&#" moment, and chaos ensues." Granted, this doesn't describe players who actually know how to coordinate, but for new players, this is dead on.
Originally posted by observer
Sorry but ANET doesnt hand hold, and many of us respect them all the more for it. Only like AC (maybe manor?) has non-80 level gear for tokens, so it's pretty obvious you should only be messing with story mode until level 80... Luckily ANET buffs, not nerfs. (except for broken fights of course)

Guild Wars 1 was the same way, first month or so people QQ'd a lot until they started to actually learn their classes and how to play. The mechanics of combat in this game are actually very complex as theres a wide variation of builds than can be created, especially when you take into account that builds can cross build between professions. You could trait yourself, slot yourself and use specific weapons to achieve very powerful combination with say a friend of another class. It's up to us to learn the complexities. Hopefully as even more dungeons are added they will be so difficult that if you don't have a well oiled team you will have no chance.

This is true when you need to unlock your weapon skills, collect skill points, gather crafting materials, and to some extent, WvW. Is it possible as a lvl 10 to go to a lvl 50+ zone? Sure, but you will not get far, and will most likely die. You need to level up first, hone your skills, acquire gear, experiment with traits and combos. Then you will learn how to play effectively, but this will take many hours and a lot of knowledge, and in effect the average player has only been to lvl 30 with little knowledge and little play time.

They are a mess but I can't exactly agree with your points. The biggest problem is difficulty isn't really there. Its the diablo style "beat you by cheaping you' tactic. If you got a good clean group set up in place, you WILL still get downed. Maybe its just a part of the game that you need to accept downed as a natural state to expect to get into, but even with a good group knowing what to do I can't get through it without getting downed, sure not 'killed' but I'm not really comfortable with the fact I even go down in the first place. It feels like such a thing shouldn't be happening at all with a 'good' run.
The worst thing is difficulty wise, I find trash to be the hardest part of the dungeon. The bosses for the most part a so much easier. To me, this is a problem. Its not just GW2 that has this issue mind you, but when trash mobs are able to present the group with the greatest amount of difficulty, its not a good sign.

Dungeons in some ways are a lot more chaotic.
However, and I'm not trying to be insulting here but, a lot of this comes from learning how to handle a different type of mechanic.
GW2 doesn't need a taunt mechanic. It doesn't. It instead revolves around everyone paying attention on their own. This means both, knowing how to use your skills & being aware of your surroundings.
- Help teamm8s up if they go down, but mind yourself so you don't get killed in the process.
- If you don't have the skills to negate a lot of damage; then don't go in first on pulls, and try and stay out of the line of fire.
- Invest in a higher HP pool. Many people who have issues with dying in dungeons have almost no vitality (neither traits nor gear). This is VERY bad when it comes to dungeons. Not only do you go down a lot quicker, but part of the mob's AI revolves around attacking the targets that seem to have the lowest health. More often than not, if you are standing near a beefy tank, unless he does a lot of CC to grab the mob's attention, you are going to get hit, not him.
- Balance CC, survivability, and damage. For example, my warrior is mostly specced for damage atm. However, this also means that he doesn't take hits as well. So, for fights I often have to juggle self-preservation with damage. Do I rush in and smack people around w/ a greatsword (which does a crapton of damage), or do I stay safe but have my damage suffer?
- Bring some skills to help kite if you are getting hit a lot.
- Don't go in first / try not to unload too much damage if you can't handle it when an enemy gets your attention.
GW2 is pretty fast paced, and it does take some getting used to. That's where practice comes in, though. People are clearing this dungeons with ease. It's not impossible, and it can be done fairly quickly with a coordinated group. It may be an issue of the class you're playing. Some classes demand a higher base skil lvl to perform well, while others are more straight forward and easier to grasp.
If you are having trouble with dungeons (and this really goes for anyone having trouble with dungeons), I'd highly suggest finding a guild that runs dungeons that would be willing to take you along. I've met quite a few newbie friendly guilds that like to run dungeons so far. It's much easier to get an understanding for how these dungeons work if you can observe groups who are capable of clearing them without dying all the time.
Just my 2c.

Down is a part of the game, and while there are cheap parts in some dungeons they are getting fixed. However its obvious you have not taken on the challenge of explorables (or you've only played the easiest paths..) otherwise you would certainly not be considering bosses to be pushovers. (Arah is the greatest example of the balance of bosses being far more challenging than trash). It is definetly true that trash throughout the story modes is more challenging than the bosses, but story modes are supposed to be minimal challenge regardless.
I can see how down can be considered something bad, but you need to move past that. However, a truly good group would barely have any downs whatsoever. (it has been rare but I have run an explorable or two where no one went down). Many of us are too attached to how the trinity over the years has molded us. Combos are a huge part of becoming a great group and for any truly successful group t hey need to be understood and studied carefully, not just happen because you happened to throw X field in front of X projectile thrower.

Downed is a part of the game, and it's rare when a group never has a single person go down during a dungeon run (though it does happen). However a good group keeps those occurances to a minimum, and if someone does go down, there is usually at least 1 person there immediately to bring them back up.
In a good group people are enough aware of their surroundings to both help downed players efficiently, but also avoid unnecessary death penalties by ressing players within the line of enemy fire, all without having to be told. A bad group, it won't matter how much you say, or whether you're on vent or not, people will die, because they aren't thinking on their feet. They're rushing into places without knowing what to expect. They're standing there DPSing the boss while an ally is downed right next to him. They're doing nothing to draw an enemy's attention when needed, or two kite aggro if they happen to get it.
All this comes with being a skill-based game. The trinity model takes the skill out of combat; by replacing it with a very linear, easy to understand rotation of events. There are no surprises, and there are rarely ever more than 1 way of dealing with a boss. The trinity model may be a lot simpler, but for people who enjoy a challenge, it's way less fun.

2 things.
1) You do NOT need to be 80 for explorable mode. All explorable modes can be done at the designated lvl. It just takes some thought & proper skill useage. While it's true that you can't really use the coins until later on (unless you want some of the runes / potions), it's not a bad idea to start stocking up early, or to get some practice in before you hit 80.
2) There IS a penalty for dying a lot. There's actually 2 of them, and a 3rd if your entire group dies at the same time.
- First off, everytime you get defeated (regardless of if you respawn) your armor breaks, and it can get somewhat costly to repair it. Especially if you are dying a lot.
- 2nd, every time you go down you rally with less health. It's even called a death penalty. If you are dying to frequently, your health pool gets hit pretty hard.
- 3rd, bosses reset, and if you can't keep pressure on them they will start to regen health.
Call it handholding if you want, but if you are dying that much, you are generally coming out of a dungeon having lost money, and gaining little.

Also, a few more of them wouldnt hurt either, 8 is a bit little even if they have 3 different explorable stories.

Good nutrition ideas?
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Not sure what you're doing right now, but a good idea would be to eat mostly organic foods. A lot has to do with what you don't eat. It's one thing to consider what you should put into your system, but also consider what you already put into your system. I had to stop drinking soda so much myself. I've cut way back on red meat and I don't eat or drink dairy foods that come from cows, except a little cheese. But that is because of an allergy to bovine derived dairy products. It gives me body acne for some odd reason or another.

We are what We eat. The key point is to maintain good eating habits and enough water consumption (right volume) and go for a stroll, walk.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
roger that on the water - i wasnt drinking enough & it caught up w/ me.
for food, i like the paleo diet in the "4-hour body" book (really good). so i have been trying cut out all gluten & eat more farm to table. been off milk (not 100%), fast food & soda for at least 15 years. my wife got the book "wheat belly" - just crazy how much gluten is in the american diet & how it is killing us. one eye-opener is how the book is saying gluten is the main contributor to heart & blood-sugar diseases...vs. fatty steaks & bacon (w/ a gluten free diet). i was kinda psyched because i love burned meat.
then hot yoga is a slam dunk...make "endurance" gigs somewhat easy.

Juicing is getting really big. Load all those colorful veggies into a juicer with some fruit, some seaweed and algae, pour it on down and go out and conquer the world.
I prefer playing on an empty stomach. Unless there's free food, then I prefer playing with a full stomach lol.
No energy drinks, no soda, no caffeine, no alcohol, no white flour, no sugar.
Water and whole foods provide all the energy you need.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
I agree with all of the wise comments so far. I've been a vegetarian almost 20 years now and love to juice. I don't as much as I should, but there are some decent juicers out there for $150 tops. And yes, lots of spring water. Tap or even filtered water still has flouride in it. We get enough of that junk from toothpaste and other drinks made with water. Lots of sleep too.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
About a year or so ago I started thinking more about what was going into my body. I was raised on the typical American diet of meat, starch, and sugars for every meal and never thought much of it.
Then I asked myself if eating animal flesh for literally every meal was something the human body should really be doing. Until mass farming and freezer trucks, I think humans probably ate meat a much, much smaller percentage of the time. We certainly were not able to base literally every meal on chicken or beef.
So, I now eat meat maybe a few times a month. I feel immeasurably better just in terms of my general sense of well-being. Now when I go at a steak, I really notice how heavy I feel for the rest of the day, and how hard it is for the body to deal with it. This is not the norm for my body anymore, and I feel it's a positive change.
Then there's the plethora of chemicals and things I don't understand in all the processed foods the grocery store markets to us so hard. If I can't understand what's on the ingredients list of a product, I shy away. One of my main enemies right now is corn syrup, and all artificial sweeteners.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
People are responsible for being vigilant about what goes into their bodies. I'm convinced that my government wants me to be as unhealthy as possible. Everybody is out to poison me with something it seems, from Red Bull to cigarettes to hard liquor to bad bad prescription drugs. There are so many everyday things like Coca Cola that are so bad for you...nutritional knowledge and the effect that things have on your body is free for the taking on Google and is vital information if you eat.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Don´t eat junk food. Don´t eat at McDonalds!
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
The formula for healthy eating is very, very simple. Michael Pollan put it like this:
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
That's pretty well all there is to it.
Source (Sauce): http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/ma...pagewanted=all
A digression:
However, they care more about keeping their masters - big business - onside. That's just political survival. Big biz do what they want. Occasionally the government delays BB's gratification but not for long if BB really wants it baaad.
Meanwhile big biz tries every manipulative approach in the book to get you eating their cheap, unhealthy and (often) unethically produced food. If you die, then they didn't force you to eat their rubbish - not their problem.
Meanwhile, if you're a small business owner and a baby spills a bit of drink in your shop during a busy time and someone slips on it then you get sued into the poorhouse. Welcome to Land of the Free (and it's Oz branch).
Yes, it helps to be informed. Fortunately it's not hard. If most of what you eat is largely unprocessed plant matter you'll be eating healthily. People always tell me I look young for my age and I tell them it's a tribute to decades of late nights, smoking and bonging on. Seriously, eating healthy food with just 1 or 2 small serves of meat per week, and walking regularly have helped me stay relatively healthy despite my lack of discipline.
People in this society eat waaay too much red meat. It's a proven cancer forming agent when eaten too much.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
I've been vegan for five years this month and to be honest I can't compare it to anything else because I simply don't remember. But I do know that I never really have any food related health complaints (except for a mild caffeine addiction!) and I have had food poisoning maybe once in the last five years.
All of the people I know who have adopted a vegetarian diet are really glad they did. Especially the guys.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Well, i`ve always been a potato couch that never did any sport or exercise and ate a lot of junk food.
About a year ago, i decided that i HAVE to change something because i wasn`t feeling good physically. I gave up drinking Coca Cola and basically any soda`s. I also never drank any "natural juice" sold in stores ever since. The only fruit juice i drink is the one i make my own at home. Except of that, lots of water , tea, beer and sometimes, at parties and stuff, hard drinks. This is all i`m drinking and i`m trying to reduce the alcohol. Oh, and also, i don`t smoke, don`t drink coffee and energy drinks, don`t eat fast food.
I then tought, well, if controlling what i can drink is so easy, i can also control what i eat. And that`s what i did, i eliminated margarine (only use butter now) and everything that contains E`s , i always check what a product contains before buying it. I also changed the meat/vegetables ratio in favor to the greenery.
I also started to make some physical activities: i do push-ups every morning and i commute with my bicycle now. You have no idea how healthy and strong i feel now and i have also lost my back aches and problems! I am 12 months into this fitness regime (or whatever you want to call it) and it`s the best thing i could ever think of.
My 7 piece Millenium MX-222 kit. I love it!
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Yeah, push ups are fantastic.
Not all E numbers are bad as such, knowing what number is what is what's important. Sometimes things are listed by either their name or E number, so they are just the same thing under a different name.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
All you need is a good general diet. That may look many different ways. Keep it organic and minimally processed.
I eat a typical breakfast of oats, with walnuts sweetened with my favourite honey. I add dried fruits and usually some sort of superfood powder.
For lunch it's a salad or more often a smoothie filled with, teas, herbs and a all sorts of raw superfoods. Mostly ordered from www.rawfoodworld.com
For dinner I never fry anything. Usually grilled meat, steamed/baked fish or soup(home made stock is the bomb) with salad and different veggies. Lots of high grade oils and fresh raw herbs added.
In addition or with these foods I drink a lot of my own formula of Chinese tonic herbs. I use tons of probiotics and fermented foods.With some spices and oils they can be made really tasty.
Between meals it's different teas. Green tea, nettle with mint, more of my home made TCM tonic or whatever else I'm experimenting with at thee moment.
The only real supplements I take are fish oil and plant dreived MSM. There is all sorts of powders and extracts added to anything, though.
For snacks I've completely fallen in love with my own homemade quinoa tortillas(quinoa, salt and just enough spelt flour so they stick together) that I eat pretty much like potatochips with different sorts of healthy dips whenever I crave anything. I also keep some raw chocolate handy.
My grains of choice are oats, millet, quinoa, wild rice and spelt.
I'm careful with juicing expecially sweet fruits, however a juice made of stuff like celery, cucumber, beet and a few carrots can be very helpful both for nutrition and cleansing. A few other great cleansing agents are lemons and cilantro.
This is just an overlook of what I do. Going into detail would take a whole book. Everyone's body is different, though. You have to experiment to find out what works best for you.
Make your own food from scratch from organic fresh ingredients and you know what you're getting. You can be your own quality control. Also choose a salt that you know is pure and free of contaminants.
I like Jazz-rock, it both swings and rocks.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
I suppose beer & chips/pretzels wouldn't make the ideal list?
My diet has gone to the pits this past couple years. As a result another 10 lbs have been added to my body. I'm the only on responsible for this.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
here's a similar thread when i asked basically the same question. it has some good points that haven't been brought up yet. best of luck. i wish i could say i've followed all of the advice but there are still things i need to get with the program on. i do eat a much cleaner diet than most americans...that's about all i can say. the paleo diet and the ha powder are two goals for me.
putting the funk in dysfunctional...
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
All it takes is choosing to be conscientious, then pick the path you like. The American Heart Association publishes a diet that I like. My daughter is a veggie, and is very healthy. My son does a diet he got from an athletic trainer, and is healthy as hell. Paleo diet folks seem pretty happy, and it's what Crossfit recommends. Just pick something besides eating what America appears to want to serve you. Stick to the outside aisles at the supermarket, and try not to eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Hi, this is a great question and one that all drummers should think about seriously. I run my own Integrated Health Clinic and am also a semi professional Drummer, so drumming and health are my two biggest passions.
My advice to you in simple terms is you only get out what you put in, so 'crap in, crap out'!
1. Eat only organic foods
2. Reduce pro inflammatory foods, like gluten and possibly milk.
3. Reduce all, stimulant foods and drinks, like tea and coffee and those God awful energy drinks!
4. Hydration is a big key area for me. filtered or bottled water rather than tap water and add a small amount of Celtic Sea Salt to your water, just enough to taste.
There are some basic tips on good foods, but do what works for you and keep a diary of what you eat and you'll soon start to see patterns of foods that work and those that don't.
Drumming is a very physical job and so fueling the body for the job is paramount. Great question though, so good you made me join this forum!
Have fun!
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Welcome to the forum!
Organic foods - are you meaning items specifically advertised as organic? I ask because organic produce is almost impossible to find where I am. And when I do see it, it's hugely expensive. My diet already consists of mostly fresh veges/fruit and grains, is taking the step to exclusively organic food worth it?
What does the sea salt do?
What are other examples of inflammatory foods?
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Wow - you guys are making me look bad. I try to stay away from really fatty foods, but almost everything you buy today is processed. I don't know how people have time to make such healthy food like salads for lunch or juicing, let alone organic stuff.
"Through many dangers, toils and snares..." - Amazing Grace, third verse
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
If you have time to post on a drumming forum, then you have plenty of time to make a salad ;)
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Organic is worth it long term, but organic means a lot of things. The ultimate would be fresh, local and wirl crafted.
To make a home made diet work, you just have to learn to plan things ahead. I don't really use more time than most people who live on frozen pizzas, which is my country's nww national dish. I probably use less, since those people plan so little that they have to go to the store to buy one frozen pizza at a time.
Chopping off some veggies for a salad takes 2 minutes. Have things ready and have your kitchen set up so that it really works for you. Get rid of everything that's not in use and let everything that you need regularly have it's own place, where it can be used as is on the bench. You can prepare many things ahead just like e.g. marinating a piece of meat which I just do before I go to bed along with making my breakfast ready so it can soak up all the goodnes over night in the fridge. Or maybe do it if you have some extra time while making today's dinner. Make enough to have leftovers and have a plan to use them.
My smoothies which are my lunch tale litterarly 1 minute. I have the fluid base ready in the fridge. I have the dry ingredients already combined in one bowl and then just throw in whatever else I feel like. Ready to run out the door. I could also bring it with me in the morning or just do it at work.
Anything on a stove or an owen does pretty well on it's own. So just set a timer and continue with whatever needs to be done.
Both your health and also your bankaccount will thank you. Offcourse the save can be spent on fancier foods. Planning also helps so that you don't throw any food away. After observing a lot of modern people, including my own family it appears that the biggest mouth they are feeding is the trash can. It's like there's a whole other family living in there, which means they are spending easily twice as much as they should on the food they are eating because they don't plan.
People used to be really good at this during bad economic times. Imagine what could be done today. With the same amount of planning you can eat like a king every day, kep it healthy and add small amounts of tonic medicinal herbs from all over the world, previously reserved to emperors and those few in the know, for pretty cheap, and with the internet and international mail service it really doesn't matter where you live.
If you ask around I'm also sure, there are local people that produce stuff you can make use of at extremely low straight from the farm prices. Offcourse, all the plants in the forest are free and as fresh as it gets.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
The only stuff I take daily (I'm only 20, but was a nutrition major in college for a while) is...
Fish Oil (Omega-3)
Your basic multi-vitamin
Melatonin- At night... it helps me sleep, and has been shown to be beneficial in many ways
DMAE- an alternative ADD medication. It's all natural, doesn't crack you out, and makes me feel sharper than ever before. It's also been shown to reduce aging if you take it for many years, decrease cancer, and many other things.
Superfoods- ie. blueberries, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, celery (just google superfoods).
Pickles- I love pickles especially after a long drumming sesh (even though I'm skinny, I sweat like a pig). They replenish sodium levels, and can reduce cramping.
Water Water Water!- I can't stress that one enough. It's amazing to realize the change in energy and sense of well being that you have when you're hydrated.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
If you are average, I would suggest eating less...wouldnt suggest this to anyone at a low BMI of course...there is research showing increased logevity at sub 900 calorie intake levels...hard to do as an active drummer...but can be adjusted accordingly.
Vitamins are far more helpful than most realize...just stay away from mega dosing.
Drink water...being careful not to go bonkers and wash out all electrolytes.
...and, though not exactly the topic....exercise.
From there on out, follow your intellect when buying food...not your palete.
...and never take health advice without consulting your doctor about it first...

"It's [organic food] a bunch of bull," he said. "How do you know what's really organic? Today, there's all these impurities in the water and the air. The water for the fruits and vegetables has junk in it. If you get enough vitamins and minerals out of normal food and whole grains, and you get enough proteins and exercise (that's the key), then nature builds up a tolerance to all of these things. It's survival of the fittest. You can't have everything perfect, that's impossible, but the fit survive."

Maybe go macrobiotic if you don't mind hideous, unidentifiable food. I went to the local macrobiotic restaurant with a friend, having no idea of what I was in for. Some nights they would have a speaker to talk while you were gagging. Our speaker of the nights subject? His 'problem' of compulsive masturbation. I wish someone could have gotten a picture of my face as that presentation unfolded. The restaurant and the setting it was in were awesome though.

Little healthy dietary changes will make big improvements over the long term such as adding a couple extra fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. For example, a few carrots and an apple every day will have enormous effects over the long run.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
Yes, I actually like them better. They are 100% additive free and the farming practices have less impact on the environment by using sustainable agricultural practices. I grew up on organic food and my ex insisted on it. Nowadays I'm not so adamant about because I don't make a lot of money anymore.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
You hope they play fair. You figure they won't want to risk getting put out of business, but you don't know.
Maybe they are adding some Intestine a la Canine but they pay off someone important so they'll never get caught?
Maybe the CEO figures that he'll be in Rio with the loot by the time they find out about Des Liver D'Labrador?
We don't know - but we trust. Same with organic. I think it's important to eat healthily with lots of fruit and veggies (organic or whatever) when you are maintaining a suite of enjoyably unhealthy habits ...

They have a brand here called American Spirit that's pretty good. The company is from New Mexico. Not sure where their tobacco is grown, maybe Nicaragua. Who knows?

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
I don't know about food, but I can tell you: Do a lot of excercise.
I eat every kind of food, but I play football soccer at least two times a week or you can go out and run in a park near your place. Running is very healthy
I'm 27 years old and I'm a thin person, and some many people thinks I'm 23, because I don't drink alcohol, and I don't take drugs, I don't smoke much. I eat every kind of foog and I do excercise.
And don't forget to practice drums at least two hours a day.
Re: Good nutrition ideas?
If you're in a good health then don't worry about your weight because I'm also thin but I'm healthier than my fat friends So I'm quite alright about that matter. I like your daily routine continue doing exercise, eat nutritious foods and try to quit smoking forever.

Re: Good nutrition ideas?
I've found that living in Germany I'm eating much healthier than when I was living in the U.S.. It's much easier to stay off the junk food when the idea of it isn't being crammed down your throat constantly.
I'm not a vegetarian or anything, but I watch what I eat. I like, if I can, to eat a nice pasta dinner a few hours before playing. I feel like it helps me have the energy to get to the end of the set.
I don't like the energy drinks. Also, I don't drink alcohol at all when on tour or during shows. Not any reason outside of not wanting to feel sluggy while on the road or the next day. Also, to me, a drummer is like a bus driver. Everybody else is along for the ride. Wouldn't want a drunk bus driver. The whole thing could end up in a ditch somewhere.
After a show I'll try to eat a banana and drink water and try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.

A lot of local law enforcement leaders have spent large parts of their careers at the departments they head up now, but Texas A&M University Police Department Chief Elmer Schneider probably has as long, if not a longer tenure than anyone in the area.
After 42 years at UPD -- he's been the chief since 2004 -- Schneider is retiring from his post.
A reception is set for Friday from 3:00-5:00 p.m. at the Annenburg Presidential Conference Center at the Bush Library complex. Presentations to the chief will get underway at 3:45 p.m.

I spotted these cookies over here and they have been calling my name ever since. Again, in an attempt to satisfy all cookie lovers in my family, I doubled the recipe and divided it in half. Half the dough got regular semi-sweet chips and a roll in raw sugar. The other half got mint chocolate chips and a roll in confectioners sugar. I feel like I say this a lot, however, these were AMAZING! And the dough? Well, let me just say that this dough is some of the best dough I have ever tasted. Which is huge because if given the choice I always choose vanilla over chocolate. The melted butter, along with the other ingredients, results in warm, melt in your mouth, absolutely can't stop eating, cookie dough.
I pulled out the sewing machine on Thursday and it felt really great. My sister asked if I would make her bible study girls tissue cozies. (Thanks, Julie! :) ) I make a small change to the tutorial...I like to overlap the top piece.... so I cut two 6x4 pieces and two 6x4 1/2 pieces. I sort of drug my heals at this request but after I got started, loved it. It was the perfect little project to bring back my sewing mojo. Although, I will not let myself sew another thing until I finish this sweater.

A Lifeguard Ambulance paramedic is dead and his wife is fighting for her life after both became infected with the H1N1 flu virus, according to family members.
Rodney Gajewski died Sunday night, after calling 911 for paramedics to help him. His sister, Sheela Cooper, Ft. Lauderdale, says she spoke with her brother Saturday and he had just finished a breathing treatment.
"I talked to him the night before. He prayed for his wife, for himself. The next day he called paramedics because he couldn't breathe."
Cooper says she doesn't believe her brother realized how sick he was.
"He was a fighter. I think he thought he was getting better, but he wasn't. He was more concerned about his wife. That is just the way he was. He cared about everyone."
Cooper says Kelly Gajewski, who works as a toll taker at the Garcon Point Bridge, has been hospitalized for about three weeks. "She was sick first. It's very bad. This is her fourth day at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is in an induced coma. She doesn't even know he's dead." Cooper says Kelly is undergoing a ten-day treatment. "This procedure is her last chance. If she makes it through, she'll be fine."
Lifeguard Ambulance employees are grieving.
Lifeguard's owner Deborah Roche says Gajewski – known as "Big Daddy" to his friends and co-workers – called in sick a little more than two weeks ago, saying he didn't feel well.
Despite his work as a paramedic, Roche says Gajewski did not have contact with the public when he was ill, noting it is company policy that employees who work closely with people do not come into work when they are sick.
"We give them personal time off and do not want them at work," she says. "They don't come in even with the sniffles…they are working with people in health situations."
"He removed himself from work," she adds. "He told us he was coming down with something. Then he developed normal, flu-like symptoms."
Just over two weeks later, Gajewski was dead. Doctors told his family he died from pneumonia resulting from flu complications.
Roche says the loss has hit hard. "This is devastating for us at Lifeguard. The surrounding EMS community has been calling, offering to help in any way they can. They are offering back-up, ready to help. I can't tell people how much we appreciate that support and love."
Roche says Gajewski was a favorite at Lifeguard Ambulance. "Rodney, as a supervisor and team member will be greatly missed," she adds. "We are grieving for his family and teammates. He cared about everybody. Even on his worst day, he was there for you. It might have cost him his life. He took care of everyone else instead of himself."
Cooper says her brother had been in Gulf Breeze Hospital, but was released around the same time Kelly was flown by medical helicopter to Birmingham.
"In order to save Kelly's life, they had to medevac her to Birmingham," she notes. "He was hospitalized for a few days. I don't know if he was released or he checked out. I'm going to investigate that when I get there."
"He wasn't thinking about himself. He was so worried about Kelly. He cared so much about everybody else, sometimes I think he forgot to care about himself."
"He just wanted to help people. He would work extra shifts when they needed him. He just wanted everyone to have a fighting chance."
During his career, Roche says Gajewski worked as a firefighter for the Midway Fire District; the South Walton Fire District; Sacred Heart Health Systems / Air Heart; Atlantic Life Flight; Escambia County EMS and Broward County Fire.
Roche says his employment file contains numerous letters from the public, complimenting his professionalism and caring. Even a new crew member wrote he, "provided excellent leadership while working hard all day on a truck."
She adds, "He was always available for bear hugs, positive outlook, and straightforward guidance. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him."
Cooper says her family is shocked by his death. "My brother was a great guy, son, father, uncle – all he cared about was that he helped people. He cared about everyone. Sometimes he forgot to care about himself.
"It's not right," she shared. "He shouldn't be gone."
Arrangements for the memorial service are being finalized and will appear at: www.srpressgazette.com and in Saturday's edition of the Press Gazette.
About Flu Shots
The Santa Rosa County Health Department says the public should check with their own physician first about obtaining a flu shot. The current shot being used carries three strains of flu, including H1N1, and uses a dead virus. "Everyone says the flu shot gives them the flu, but it does not," says Deborah Stilphen, Operations Analyst II.
She points out flu vaccines are readily available this year, even at local drug stores, and at the health department.

This week US Politics Today highlighted a case study about how NYC Department of Probation is using Pentaho Business Analytics to gain visibility into the lives of 35,000 convicted felons, helping them get back into their communities and building productive lives under a monitored probation program. At the heart of NYC Department of Probation's mission to "restructuring lives" is powerful analytics, giving the department access to massive amounts of data, such as detailed information on the background of the men, women and young people being supervised, the types of crimes that they have committed and their progress. This is a vivid example on how powerful analytics is empowering public sector and government organizations to improve their performance, streamline their administration services, and ultimately help the public. Business Analytics is no longer a novelty specifically made for investors, financial analysts, and executive managers. Today business analytics serves all. Anibal Sempertegui, director of information technology, software, New York City Department of Probation explained, "Because of Pentaho's open source business model, we can affordable to make it accessible throughout our department and use it to facilitate data integration with other city departments as...

France consistently tops the European charts when it comes to Open Source software adoption, partly due to the leadership taken in by its public sector, which has a knock-on effect in the private sector. Lately we've felt like the best thing since sliced bread, with our popularity on the rise and several new customers joining the fold over the past few months. We've attracted companies from a range of sectors, including one of the largest technology companies in the world, leading health insurers and local government organisations. One reason behind the success is surely our new French account manager, Cédric Fauvet*, but we suspect there are a few others: We've truly localized so our French support and presence is better than ever, delivered by native speakers who truly understand the market and customer needs. Our partners are a big part of this, providing hands-on training , workshops and Webinars (in French) to actively working with our team on customer projects. Our collaboration with them has never been better. Enterprise product differentiation and value . The added functionality and value of our enterprise offering compared to the community open source project...

If you have been dealing with business analytics related sales activities or are searching for that "right" business intelligence tool, you will find that most organizations: Use manual tasks, that include desktop query and reporting tools, to answer their business questions. Have "something" in place that they are not happy with or is costing them too much money. Have data in multiple silos that they need to access, consolidate and optimize. Hence, they are usually looking for a low cost business analytics alternative that can provide them with the answers to their business questions, as well as ease of use and functionality they are looking for within their budget. Don't believe me? Join the many business intelligence groups available in LinkedIn and Quora as well as other social networking type sites and you will see the barrage of questions from those looking for recommendations on BI and analytics tools. I was on a call the other daya with a well known organization where the "prospect" stated: "We need basic reporting with the ability to access all of our data without moving it or massaging it." "Okay? That is absolutely possible,"...

Cipal an IT service provider to Belgium's public sector, has completed a successful pilot of its Pentaho-based OEM application 'Athena BI' with four social welfare organizations in the Flanders region.

I'll admit I didn't watch all of the Auburn-Georgia football game Saturday. I was channel surfing trying to find the best game and, with Auburn leading 37-17 early in the fourth quarter, I settled in on the Duke-Miami game.
I did get back to Auburn-Georgia just in time to see the final dramatic moments.
If you are a fan of Southeastern Conference football, you're probably aware that Georgia came back and took the lead with 1:49 left in the fourth quarter. Then, in dramatic fashion, the Tigers pulled the game out on an amazing — and somewhat improbable — 73-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Ricardo Louis with 25 seconds left.
The pass was deflected by a pair of Bulldog defenders and, as Louis turned around, the ball floated into his hands for the easy score.
Veteran CBS color commentator Gary Danielson went a little batty on the play. Danielson called the play, "A miracle of miracles."
I'm sorry, Gary, but that was a football play, not a miracle. Yes, it was a great play, an amazing play and an improbable play. But calling it a miracle is going overboard.
Too often, members of the sports media confuse great plays or great wins with miracles.
Al Michaels' call of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team's win over the Soviet Union will forever be remembered by his rhetorical question, "Do you believe in miracles?" A few years ago, a movie, "Miracle on Ice," was made to celebrate that special team and the place it holds in our nation's sports lore.
To answer Michaels' question, Yes, I believe in miracles, but no matter how spectacular the play or improbable the win, don't expect to see me call an athletic endeavor a miracle.
I have five nieces, two nephews, three great-nephews and two great-nieces; each of their births was a miracle.
I have watched several couples stay together a lifetime when society seems as comfortable with divorce as it does with marriage. As an old bachelor, I know that finding love is a miracle. And having a love that lasts long after that first spark of romance is, what I believe, to be a true miracle.
I have witnessed, and been a part of, the miracle of friendship. I believe it's a miracle when people walk away from hurricanes or tornadoes uninjured after the storm leveled their home.
I believe in healing miracles, but not in the way some TV preachers go about it.
I would hope that everyone, regardless of their faith or lack thereof, would consider the functioning human body just by itself a miracle.
I believe that fine-tuned athletic bodies are miracles that allow the athlete to do amazing, seemingly impossible things, but you won't hear me calling those plays a miracle.
In Crestview High School's spring football game earlier this year, Bulldog running back Emmanuel Reed reached behind his back and flipped an under-thrown pass over his head and caught the ball in stride. Reed's play was amazing — and probably better than the Louis catch.
I once covered a high school girls basketball game when a player made two half-court shots at the buzzer to end two different quarters.
Again, great plays, but no miracle.
I understand that those of us in the media rely on hyperbole when we are caught up in a moment we find hard to describe. But highly sought after, well-trained athletes making great plays will never be a miracle in my book.
