Last night was really hard. It shouldn't have been. It was actually a scheduled easy day of 4 miles sandwiched between my speed workouts for the week but it was so hard. I think there were multiple factors at play. The family and I had just been out at my mom's getting haircuts. We didn't leave until later than I expected and by then temperatures were in the single digits. The minivan never truly warmed up on the 6 mile trip home. There wasn't a question of whether I would use the treadmill. Beyond the extreme cold there was a fresh layer of snow from the previous day and I knew enough people would have done a shoddy job shoveling to make the sidewalks dangerous to anyone moving beyond a saunter. I'm also 18 pages into a new book. I love it when you can tell from the first few pages that it's going to be a good book. This is one of those books. I don't know what argument I used to convince myself that getting in my PJs , crawling under the covers and spending a good hour and a half reading wasn't a good idea, but it worked.
I got back out into the cold and drove to my alma mater to use their treadmills. The treadmills are located on an indoor track which overlooks a gym below. I would have run on the track, but it's 7.5 laps to the mile and I knew I'd lose count after the third lap. So I climbed on the treadmill, and started the longest 4 miles in quite some time. The Motley Fool podcast was interesting, but probably not the best motivator while running. I really do need to update my music playlist and get some fresh stuff in there. The treadmill overlooked a pool (they used to face out to the track and gym, but were turned for safety reasons), but the pool closed about halfway through my run and I could only stare into the inky blackness. I plodded through my run and stuck with it even though I thought of cutting it short at 2, 2.25, 3 and 3.5 miles.
Fortunately I made it through my 4 miler. Tonight is 1K repeats, so hopefully the oxygen deprivation and muscle burning will distract me enough while on the TM. I'm trying to remind myself that this is just a brief part of the year and I just have to perservere. In fact, last night I noticed I had to put on my sunglasses as I drove home from work. I don't think I've had to wear sunglasses since early December, so it means daylight is sticking around longer. And that means warmer temperatures are somewhere out there. Somewhere. Hang in there people.
If you really want to boss it up, wear the sunglasses on the mill.
Congrats on getting your run in. I, too am sick of the cold weather. I long for the day I throw on a T-shirt, shorts and my shoes and get out the door not dreading the weather.
Rock on and keep on running.....
If you can recall that argument, you should publish a motivational book. Nice job toughing out the "easy" 4 miler.
Life's a little better when we run.
Good job toughing out the run. It will be March before you know it.
I've decided that I would rather TM run than risk injuries during the winter. I have had a few twists and strains due to ice, so I will accept the boredom.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Watching Motley Fool podcast and thinking about your investments (retirement or otherwise) while you run. Now we're talking motivation!
So did I read this right ... you spent all that time in your PJs, then changed and went for a run??? On a treadmill? One you had to drive to? On a cold night? Wow. That is big motivation.
I actually like that kind of calculating (I'm referring to the 7.5-mile track), because it keeps your mind occupied and keeps you focused. Anything to stay off a treadmill!
4 miles for you is only like what, 24 minutes?
At least speed work keeps it interesting on the treadmill. Not only spices up the workout, but you get to add in the factor of trying not to fly off the dang thing.
Somebody should invent an app that makes treadmill running better.
Warmer weather soon please
Attitude is everything
this man drops knowledge everywhere he goes!

When it rains, it pours and even though I love the kind that falls from the sky, I'm about to go look for some desert.
When it rains, it pours and even though I love the kind that falls from the sky, I'm about to go look for some desert.
If it's not one thing, it's another and with just a month to go until he gives his daughter away in marriage, I'm about to give my sweetie another nickname, which may sound a little sour.
Along with tending to the last minute details of the wedding my car started making strange noises. Typically when this happens and I ask him to take a listen, then the car won't do it again and I look like the person who is hearing things. This time it was obvious and an appointment was made to take it to the car doctor.
While trying to figure out how to function with just one vehicle, his truck decided it was time to explode the emergency brake and since it's noises were louder than my car it went to the shop first. The week was full of calls from the car guy about the various things that were wrong with both vehicles and of course, the price tag to make them well.
We were sitting in the front room, trying to make a plan of attack on the bad luck we seemed to be having when he just stopped talking and started staring at the ceiling. I thought I'd lost him. He's gone over the edge into stress land. They say trouble comes in threes, and our third was a crack in the wall coming down from the ceiling as if the house decided to split in half.
I know I've been in a funk lately worrying about Dad but it didn't help matters when the nursing home called and said he had begun to use the restroom in any room but the restroom. His jogging pants makes easy access, so now he's sporting a new pair of bib overalls which hopefully will make the task harder to accomplish, so it's no longer a free for all.
When the going gets tough I mow. While gassing up my new mower, which is capable of going faster than the speed of light, he suggested it may be too wet to mow. I threw a little temper tantrum and may have even stomped my foot so he ended the conversation with "don't get stuck in the mud."
As the grass was flying I was fuming. Just because he's in a bad mood doesn't mean I don't know how to stay out of the mud. I was nearly done and the only thing left was the valley near the pond. It looked dry as I bounded toward it in high gear. It wasn't. Sitting in a mud pit I just kept spinning the tires as mud flew all over me and the mower. Frustrated, I turned it off and just sat there.
Page 2 of 2 - It was quiet and all I could hear were the birds singing and my mind telling me something I didn't want to admit to. He hasn't been the one who's been in the bad mood this week and although I wanted to blame it on someone else, I've been the sour one.
I guess sometimes it takes getting a little mud on your face to realize you owe someone an apology.

MAY 4 — It's voting time again, and in honour of the electric political mood that we're all in at the moment, let's take a look at some excellent and probably underrated (or overlooked) films about politics or the election process that you may have missed throughout the years.
I won't be including the more mainstream or popular ones like Primary Colors, Wag The Dog, The Campaign, The Ides Of March, Mr Smith Goes To Washington or All The King's Men because they're pretty obvious choices, so I hope the more left-of-field recommendations I'm making here will provide you with much enjoyment.
This teen movie starring Matthew Broderick and a young Reese Witherspoon is not exactly unpopular, but due to its status as an MTV Films production most adults would have probably passed it over because they think that it's just another dumb MTV teen movie. Wrong!
Cleverly transplanting the election process onto a high school situation, it's actually a remarkably funny and surprisingly smart satire, driven by Witherspoon's relentless performance as a relentless go-getter who'll stop at nothing to win.
If that still doesn't convince you, then the fact that it was directed by Alexander Payne, who made Sideways, About Schmidt and The Descendants will probably change your mind, especially when it's — in my humble opinion — still the best thing he's done so far.
The Candidate
Despite starring Robert Redford at the height of his fame in the '70s, I don't think that many people are aware that this film exists. Telling the story of how an idealistic candidate played by Redford gradually loses his nerve for being honest in his campaign because he's fallen behind in the ratings and polls, it's an especially special film for possessing an understated yet highly depressing ending that hits you like a sledgehammer (but softly).
Being There
One of the gentlest and funniest satires I've ever seen, this classic by forgotten New Hollywood man Hal Ashby (at least compared to his more famous compatriots from the same era like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg) comes at the tail end of his remarkable string of outstanding films in the 1970s (which include Harold And Maude, The Last Detail, Shampoo and Bound For Glory), but may be the finest one in that outstanding bunch.
It's about a simpleton gardener called Chance (played by Peter Sellers) who knows only gardening and what he's seen on TV, and by chance (i.e. a hilarious series of misunderstandings) stumbles into the inner circle of political power brokers and rises all the way to the top, even being mentioned as a presidential candidate. Do check this one out.
The Contender
Smear campaigns are something that we Malaysians are more than familiar with in the political and election game. Because of the different sets of morals that we Malaysians have compared to Americans, the whole moral point of this film, in which Joan Allen's vice-presidential candidate was subjected to an appalling smear campaign concerning things that happened when she was in college, will unfortunately never apply over here.
But that shouldn't stop us from watching this electrifying thriller, which will no doubt inspire some moral steel in some viewers.
Advise & Consent
Made by Hollywood legend Otto Preminger three years after his classic hit Anatomy Of A Murder, this awesome examination of the kind of dirty tricks and backroom deals necessary to make things happen in the political and governmental machine is rather forgotten now, despite the kind of star power it has (Henry Fonda, Walter Pidgeon, Charles Laughton). But if you find the deal-making parts of Spielberg's recent hit Lincoln intriguing, then I assure you that you'll be overjoyed to see this one.
King's Game
In the great tradition of '70s paranoid thrillers and conspiracy movies, this Danish film is a hugely efficient thriller that uncovers what happens when a leading candidate for prime minister became involved in a car crash 11 days before the parliamentary elections, and the behind-the-scenes power play, cover-ups and media spin involved when other politicians smell an opportunity to strike and rise to the top. Again, the ending is a huge downer, but when a political film wants to be "real", there really is no other choice for endings, right?
Silver City
US indie legend John Sayles rarely makes films that one would call "entertaining" or "easily digestible", but this political satire, which combines elements of a whodunit or murder mystery as well as the usual elements of political satire is a surprisingly pleasurable watch. Chris Cooper's very George W. Bush-like accent and vocal performance probably helps a great deal, but this is truly one political-film-with-a-bite that deserves to be seen by more people than its rather pathetic US$1.4 million (RM4.25 million) worldwide box-office collection suggests.
* This is the personal opinion of the columnist.

David Freese has big night in return to Angels lineup
David Freese drove in four runs in his return off of the disabled list to lead the Angels to a 9-3 win over the Astros.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The pain in his fractured middle finger, for the most part, has gone away, Angels third baseman David Freese said. The slight pain he experiences, for example, when he fouls a ball off of the end of the bat, comes and goes but is just more annoying than anything else.
Tuesday night in his return to the Angels lineup for the first time since May 2, Freese became a huge annoyance to the Astros. The Angels third baseman proved to be a tough out while driving in four runs in the Angels' 9-3 win.
Any annoying feelings that he had in his finger were all but non-existent, even in the field where he said he was having the most trouble during his rehab.
He was tested early on a Jesus Guzman grounder. Freese fielded it cleanly and threw a strike across the diamond to first to record the out.
Angels activate David Freese from DL; Josh Hamilton nears return
In the next inning, he fielded a grounder and the throw got away from him a tad but the out was still recorded.
"(It sailed on me) a little bit," Freese said with a laugh. "I was just trying to chuck it and put it that bubble for (Angels first baseman) Albert (Pujols) to get it."
It was at the plate, however, that he did the most damage.
In his first at bat off of the disabled list, Freese hit a single to knock in two of the Angels' three runs in the first inning.
"Early on we got some big two-out hits and, obviously, David got us going," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We knew that when he gets it going it's going to be important to our lineup.
"He's got a great approach with runners in scoring position. He just knows his way around the batter's box and we are really happy to have him back."

In the fifth, another three-run inning for the Angels, Freese drove in another. He followed that up in the sixth inning with a double off of the wall in right field to score Howie Kendrick.
"I was fired up," Freese said. "I'm just happy to be back.
"It was a productive night."
The run support provided by Freese and company was more than enough for Tyler Skaggs to pick up his first career win at Angel Stadium. Skaggs improved to 4-1 on the season in a seven inning outing, striking out six, and allowing just one earned run.

Alumni Board Elects New Officers
KGI's Alumni Board has elected members and officers for 2011-2012, bringing in new leaders for the postions of president, vice president and several other officer posts.
This year five alums have joined the board as new members, including two as officers. The new leadership consists of:
President - Nicole Sindy (MBS '09)
Vice President - Ryan Peeler (MBS '07)
Secretary - Aditya Kelkar (MBS '10) (new member)
Admissions Chair - Aanchal Kamra (MBS '09)
Curriculum Chair - Garry Seid (MBS '03)
Networking Chair -Jennifer Boyd (MBS '08) (new member)
The board members (non-officers) returning from last year are Darren Leva (MBS '05), Ravneesh Sachdev (MBS '06) and Louis Shamel (MBS '09). Those joining the board for the first time are Joanna Mullen (MBS '04), Andrew Peters (MBS '06) and Bill Casey (MBS '06).
Since its establishment in 2009, the Alumni Board's purpose has been to connect and support the KGI alumni network as well as the current student body.
Of the board's more notable accomplishments is its involvement with the Annual Fund, which raises money to support student fellowships and KGI academics. According to President Nicole Sindy, alumni giving to the Annual Fund has increased from 23% to 40% since the board began encouraging KGI graduates to donate.
Sindy, a 2009 graduate of the Master of Bioscience (MBS) program, has been on the board since its beginning, having previously served as secretary of the board and worked with the networking committee. She was motivated to be a part of it because of what KGI did for her career. "KGI basically introduced me to the company I currently work for, and I wanted to contribute in any way I could to make sure students continued to be given those same opporuntities," Sindy said.
One of Sindy's first goals as president is to leverage the alumni network to bring practical industry knowledge to current students. "Now that we have an alumni base with several years of industry experience, I would like to collect what they have learned and translate that into workshops or other components of the curriculum," she explained. The plan is to introduce KGI students to specific programs and topics that might not be currently covered.
Other initiatives that the board will continue include an interactive mapping tool accessible to all alumni. This database will connect with LinkedIn to provide information of alumni, Advisory Council members and KGI trustees from across the nation.
Sindy also said the board wants to have a stronger presence in supporting career services as future classes graduate and the alumni base grows.
The board met on November 2 to officially set its goals for the coming year. The admissions committee will continue to work with the admissions department to increase alumni interface with prospective students at KGI visitation days and provide support for off-site recruitment events. The committee will also utilize alumni expertise to provide constructive feedback towards career services development.
Chair Garry Seid will work to fill gaps in the curriculum that have been identified by alumni, Advsiory Council members and trustees.
The networking committee will continue to host events in Los Angeles, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area that feature panels of noted industry leaders. The committee also will work with the admissions committee to develop a workshop for current students to discuss and practice proper networking etiquette.

Monroe native Molly Moore had a difficult decision to make.
She was a graduate of Adrian College.
She was the head softball coach and served as the assistant athletic director.
Her ties to the small, liberal arts college in Lenawee County obviously were strong.
But that didn't stop Mrs. Moore from taking a stand against something happening at the college that she thought was wrong. She saw instances of gender discrimination within her own athletic department.
She decided to take action and filed a complaint with the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights in May, 2007. And after a lengthy investigation, the school was cited for 11 violations of gender equity rules under Title IX.
The school has been ordered to add at least one more women's sport, increase pay for women's sports coaches, build a women's locker room in its multi-purpose stadium, increase the number of games scheduled and recruiting money for women's sports, and buy equivalent sports equipment for male and female athletes.
Mrs. Moore, who left the school a few months after filing the complaint to accept a position with Mercy Memorial Hospital in her hometown of Monroe, should be commended for her courageousness. She had the bravery to wave a red flag, to make a difference, and now, female athletes no longer will have to endure what she and her players endured.
Mrs. Moore was the main whistleblower for the complaint, but two other women with ties to Monroe County also played a role and filed complaints to support Mrs. Moore's claims — Monroe High graduates Jenna Kloster and Lindsay Mandeville.
Both played softball for Mrs. Moore at Adrian and both experienced the discrimination firsthand.
All three were unhappy with the lack of amenities their softball program had compared to male athletic programs. The baseball team, for instance, boasted a state-of-the-art stadium with restrooms and changing area, but the softball complex had neither.
Other complaints included knee-high grass and weeds covering softball field at the start of fall practice, early morning practice times, inadequate locker rooms and travel vans for road trips that were an embarrassment.
The investigation and findings give a black eye to the college's otherwise sterling reputation. The administration should be embarrassed.
There is no excuse for what happened — it is appalling. Adding to the embarrassment was the college's lame response when Evening News reporter Jeff Meade asked for a comment for a story that ran in Wednesday's paper.
College Director of Public Relations Jennifer Compton said the school "has maintained the highest commitment to equality and respect for gender equity" during its 152-year history, adding that the school believes it offers "a quality higher educational experience to all students."
Clearly, the Department of Education thought otherwise, and the college's refusal to properly address the issue was a defiant example of arrogance.
One would hope that the citations and orders to become compliant will do more than just bring women's sports up to par with men's programs at the college.
The findings should go far to change attitudes at the college and create an environment free of discrimination.
Mrs. Moore didn't get a chance to work in that kind of environment, but because of her character and strength, others most certainly will. For that, Adrian College should be indebted to her.

Samos is famous for its (internationally awarded) wines, particularly its delectable vin doux liquer wine or other sweet wines such as Nectar and Anthemis, and more recently its dry whites such as Phyllas, made with organic muscat grapes. All wines produced on Samos are by law made by the Union of Vinicultural Cooperatives, who in 2005 created this museum on the winery's grounds in tribute to the island's winemaking past and present. Start by looking at the photo exhibition of local winemaking over the last century and proceed to see large and small the tools used in production, as well as early 20th-century casks, and finally the French oak barrels used today, before proceeding to the main hall to indulge in a wine tasting of the union's wines, which are also sold at the museum shop (in some cases at a higher price than you will find in other local shops).

Team Colombia training camp in Arco, Italy, ended today after four days of fruitful job enjoying Garda Trentino's sunny landscapes. Eighteen athletes under the guidance of General Manager Claudio Corti and Sport Directors Valerio Tebaldi, Oscar Pellicioli and Oliverio Rincon underwent an overall briefing looking forward seasonal debut at next week Tour Mediterranèen in France. The team training session was also open for the press to attend during the last two days.
"It was a great experience, Garda Trentino is a really beautiful area, the perfect one to ride – Team Manager Claudio Corti said – The guys trained every day for about three-four hours, on different routes. We also held meetings on topics such as race programme, dietary habits and media training. We noticed that the riders were very involved in our working method. This training camp was a positive experience also because of the perfect relationships the riders were able to build with each other. Definitively, our 2013 campaign started smoothly."
During their stay at Trentino, the Colombian team had the opportunity to experience the next Giro d'Italia uphill time trial stage Mori-Polsa and the unknown climb of Sega di Ala to be tackled at upcoming Giro del Trentino's final day. "This region looks perfect for us indeed, with plenty of hard climbs – commented Darwin Atapuma, the winner of 2012 Giro del Trentino final stage on Passo Pordoi – and we found the course of both these two races very demanding and challenging".
"The Polsa climb is quite regular, in some terms pretty similar to the ones we have in Colombia, and I immediately had good feelings on it – Esteban Chaves stated after getting first to the top of the 19 km ascent. "On such a climb it is possible to set a pretty strong pace, making it suited to powerful riders who had a good recovery after the previous stages. And I like it a lot too."
At the farewell lunch in Polsa with local authorities leaded by Trentino's Tourism Assessor Tiziano Mellarini, Colombia General manager Claudio Corti expressed his optimism "We are confident in our chances to be protagonist at next Giro del Trentino and all the Giro d'Italia's mountain stages. We got wild card to the "pink race" and this represented an extremely important step in our project. We also hope to lineup at Tour de Pologne departure exceptionally held here in Trentino, and maybe be on the spotlights on Passo Pordoi once more."

The Goddamn Gallows -- San Diego, CA -- September 26th, 2011
I already explained in my other thread the awesomeness that is the Goddamn Gallows. Well yesterday, I got in my car at 5pm, picked my friend up and drove through three hours of traffic to San Diego for one of the greatest nights I've had in a very long time. We arrive at the Shakedown Bar around 8pm to find out nothing has even started yet. I wanted to find James Hunnicutt so I could tell him that I was able to make it out, but couldn't find him. We decided to go get some food at the Taco Bell next door in the mean time. After we ate, I saw James outside the bar and said hi. My friend and I were put on the guest list for making the effort to drive so far for the show and he was showing his appreciation. :D I thought that was fucking cool of him. I then went in a bought two Goddamn Gallows shirts, a James Hunnicutt cd and a shirt.
Here's where all the fun began. After putting the merch back in my car, my friend and I walked back and started talking to James for a bit. We ended up talking about Star Wars for a good 30 minutes and somehow transitioned to how he needs to go visit Legoland the next day. Next thing we know, Mikey Classis from the GDG walks out and interrupts our conversation to tell us the bum standing outside the liquor store next to the bar was jerking off :lol: We were all dying of laughter cause it was such a random act to occur 15 feet away from a group of people at a bar.
After this, I went inside and ran into Jayke. He was glad to see that I made it out to the show again. I told him I brought my mandolin down and he told me to meet him out front in about 10 minutes cause he was going to go get his equipment and then show me his custom made mandolin. I met up with him a bit later and we went over to my car. I was really nervous cause he is such a beast on the mandolin and I'm terrible. I know how to play it, but I'm still on the beginner level. Well he looked at my mandolin and told me how it was a great instrument, then shredded on it for a few minutes. I had the biggest fucking grin on my face while I watched the man who inspired me to want to pick up the mandolin play my mandolin! He then handed it back and opened up his case to show me his custom made mandolin. It was such a beautiful instrument!! He jammed on it for a minute or two, then handed it to me and told me to have fun. I didn't believe what was going on. I didn't know what to do. I played the best I could for a minute or two while he talked about how much he loves that mandolin. I handed it back after a minute or so cause it was too much to handle :lol: We then went back in to see James perform his solo set.
James played guitar for the Broken Band and plays a few songs here and there the GDG. This was my first time seeing him perform live since he wasn't able to perform at the Viper Room last night. I had actually told him at the Viper Room that Risk the Fall and Good For You, Good Riddance and Goodbye were some of my favorite songs, so he told me he would play them for me in San Diego. I never reminded him about it, but when it came time for the fourth song, he asked me what the two songs were. He then told everyone the next two songs were dedicated to my friend and I for making the long drive down for the show.:D
99 Lives
My Pain
The Misery That's Me?
Rick the Fall
Good for You, Good Riddance and Goodbye
Dick to Cry On
Cherry Red
Bad Girl
Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young(Faron Young)
Don't Let Teardrops Fill Your Eyes
Jayke Orvis and the Broken Band went on around 11:15 and played for 45 minutes. That was better than the 30 minutes I got last night. I was really happy to have the set switched up a little and a few of my favorite songs were added to the set including Streets and Empty Bottles. It would've been a perfect set if they played Beating my Head but I'm happy with what I got. I was really surprised by how many people were there to see Jayke. That underground scum americana punk scene is pretty much dead in my area, but everyone in SD was all about it. There were about 50 or so people watching his set. There were a lot of people moving around and singing along, so that made the show so much better than last night. The strings on James' guitar kept breaking during the show, but he still managed to play the guitar solos without having to stop the song.
Bound to Ride(Ralp Stanley)

Empty Bottles on a Broken Shelf

The Goddamn Gallows went on at 12:15 and by this time the bar was pretty much filled up. There were over twice as many people in there as there were last night. The second they opened up with Shattered, people were pushing others around and singing along. The vibe throughout the whole set was so amazing. Everyone just wanted to get rowdy and sing along to their favorite punk/pyschobilly band. At the very end of the set, Fishgutzz took Baby G's drums back out into the crowd and had him play while laying on his back. As I'm watching this, I feel a big wave of heat hit the back of my neck. I quickly look back to see Avery spitting fire out of his mouth!!:eek: That's fucking metal right there!!:rocker:
Pass Me The Bottle
Born To Lie
Waiting Around to Die(Townes Van Zandt)
Instant Major Felony

Ghosts of the Rails

Ticket to Bleed
In the end, this was one of the greatest nights I've had in a while and won't ever forget this show. I said my goodbyes to James and Jayke and went home. I didn't get home until 3:30am. Completely worth it. :D
Another awesome review from the 'Topher. :lol:
Man, that sounds incredible.. Happy you got to meet and chill with your idols so properly!
I seriously can't get over how amazing last night was. That whole interaction with Jayke Orvis will be one of the best memories I have. He has been my idol ever since I first heard hime play mandolin. To have him play my mandolin, then let me play his custom built mandolin is such a...I can't explain how happy that makes me. I will always cherish that memory. I just wish more people would appreciate him because he is on of the greatest musicians out there right now imo.
I've found one video from the San Diego show, but its Waiting Around to Die. That is a slow song, so you don't get to really see the intensity that was at that show here. Hopefully more videos pop up on youtube soon..

Edit: Here's a video of Ticket to Bleed. At the very end of the video, you can see Fishgutz take Baby G into the audience to play the drums on his back. Around 1:50, you can see the crowd light up twice. That is due to the flames being spat out of Avery's mouth.

WTF?! I've shown up for every game! But this was a great chance to win the series, and they couldn't pull it off.
fair point that
WTF?! I've shown up for every game! But this was a great chance to win the series, and they couldn't pull it off.
See comment below. Technology fail
That creaking sound you hear is the bandwagon struggling to hold all of the weight as everyone leaps back on the bandwagon
The Hawks had the best record in the NHL, I don't think many people lost hope in this team.
Because there were so many Hawks fans on these threads after games 2-5...
Because there is so much for us to say to Wings fans while they are completely outplaying us
Haha. Right. I guess we should've been posting about how awesome the Hawks are when we are losing. I don't even see any Hawks fans talking garbage on here so I don't see why anyone is upset.
I think it's probably the right call to not post when your team was getting worked the way the Hawks were after game 4, but to your point of "I don't even see any Hawks fans talking garbage" I mean look up, it's already happened lol........were you here in game 1 when every Hawks fan said the series was over, and that the Wings didn't even belong on the same ice.
I was here game one and did not say that so EVERY Hawks fan didnt say that. It's whatever, I don't see a need to argue with my fellow MGoBrothers over a hockey series, immature people will be immature. There have been some ignorant posts about Chicago by some wings fans and I've decided to keep quiet after game one. It's not worth arguing like children.
Who's talking garbage?
Nevermind. I see the ONE Hawks fan talking trash.
What are Hawks fans supposed to say--that Toews's meltdown was a Bettman led conspiracy?
It's a 99% Wings board and I've tried to keep quiet for the most part. I think Hawks fans have been pretty respectful on the board during this series so I don't get the vitriol. Should be a great game 7 though, this is how these two teams should go it together.
Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you guys from bitching about the refs the whole game.
LOL...It was pretty silent from Hawks fans after game 4.
Funny how Hawks fans come out of the woodwork after you make the playoffs after finishing in last place for like 10 straight reasons.
I guess that is the strategy to do well in the new NHL. Tank a few straight seasons and get a team full #1 picks like Hawks, Pens, and Islanders.
as well for Edmonton
The Hawks have been in the playoffs 5 straight seasons including winning a Stanley Cup. At what point can Hawks fans not be considered bandwagoners?
6 seasons? 10 seasons?
Come back to me when you reach 20 straight playoffs. \
Hawks = bandwagon
Historically Chicago was a hockey town--not in terms of getting the results, say, Detroit had, but good fans who really supported the team. Bill Wirtz really killed the fan base, first by letting every big name player walk or get traded (I particularly remember Roenick and Chelios). The second step was the kicker--blacking out games that were not sold out. For many of my pre-college years when I really became a sports fan, Hawks games were just a box score of rotating names to me. I enjoy hockey but am not particularly knowledgeable--mostly because I had no chance to watch it.
Once old man Wirtz died and his son took over, things got better for the team in a big hurry. Very high draft picks were well spent, and the team developed its young players. Because there wasn't a several year lag between Rocky Wirtz taking over and the 2009 Western Conference Finals run, it was hard to distinguish between the normal bandwagon fans (and c'mon, as Michigan fans we have plenty of those under our tent) and those who were more like Michigan basketball fans who were alienated by the dark post-sanction years and are now fully back. Imagine how hard it would have been to be an out-of-state Michigan bball fan if one of the sanctions was no televised games!
So I know there is lots of vitriol right now for Blackhawks fans, and those of you who grew up in Michigan but live in Illinois are probably frustrated, but the fan base isn't as horribly bandwagon-y as it seems.
(And I realize that posting this in an open thread featuring some very unhappy wings fans is inviting a response)
You can add Tony Amonte and Eddie Belfour. Good post too.
I'm from Michigan and played hockey since the late 70s.
After I graduated from UM in 95, I lived in San Fran for a year as I thought of going to grad school at either Cal or Stanford (top programs for my field of study). That didn't turn out and I eventually needed to get a real job to support myself. But in the meantime, I found multiple places to play inline hockey in SF neighborhoods as well as an indoor rink there, not far from Giants' stadium.
I ended up moving to Chicago as I had some contacts here and family still in Detroit area. I was pretty happy to be moving back to an Original Six city, thinking I'd get all kinda hockey action here. Well, turns out, if I talked to anyone about hockey here, they looked at me like I was from the moon. They don't give the least amount of fucks about it unless their team is in first place.
I've only found one place to play outdoor inline hockey here and that was from some random Craigslist post I found, and they only played at 10 in the morning on Sundays on the far north side of the city. You'll never find a group of people just playing in some neighborhood here. People don't play or care about the game in the city. I did end up playing at Johnny's Ice House for a few years when I had some friends from Detroit who played here.
I realize that old man Wirzt did plenty to hurt hockey in this city, but you are full of shit if you think the people here care the slightest about it when the Hawks are no good. It is the biggest bandwagon population in professional sports.
I have been in Chicago for less than a year, and I've been really frustrated at the lack of inline/street/pickup hockey. I used to play every day at Elbel before they put the stupid turf in, but haven't found anything close here. I did actually play ice in an outdoor league here this past winter, which was pretty fun.
I played at Elbel all the time while in school. Michigan hockey players were frequently playing with us over there.
If you know anybody who plays, let me know and maybe we can get something going.
To add to my post: up until about 6 years ago when the hawks got good, I used to go to every Wings/hawks game and there were 75% Wings fans there. With "Let's go Red Wings" chants drowning out the moronic "Detroit Sucks" chants the mouth breather "fans" are so pleased about. See, there's one difference, we actually cheer on our team rather than just denigrating the opposing team. That's the kinda thing that a Nashville fanbase does, i.e., know-nothing hockey fans.
I got a free ticket from a friend to a hawks/avs game about 10 years ago. Even though I hate both teams, I figured I'd go just to see a pro game. There couldn't have been more than 5000 people in attendence. It was disgraceful for an Original Six team. Tell me again how great that hawks fanbase is. What a joke.
Great 3rd period. Can't wait for Wednesday night.
I love all the Chicago fans jumping on at the end here. They've been quiet until now and now that the series is tied, they're full of bravado. Kind of like Sparties.
Gotta regroup... Really don't want to end up as the next epic choke job in sports... Still one shot left, and I want to really hand it to those jack-off Hawks in game 7... I'm sick of them... Go Wings
The Hockey Gods were happy to let the Wings win while no one had hope. As soon as hope was in the fans' hearts, the Gods took it away.
Apparently, is post game on CBC is correct, there was no offsides on that third goal. So can we all just agree the wings blew this game, no excuses and complaining?
Babcock made a great point after the game that this team shouldn't lose confidence from this tonight... While a loss is a loss, they didn't come in and squash us. They took what we gave them, and we need to take what they give us in game 7 on Wednesday.
LWLWWL Everybody would be in awe of the Red Wings pushing the Hawks to a game 7
I can't speak for all Blackhawks fans, but since this is a MICHIGAN board, populated by RED WINGS fans for the most part, I sometimes check in on the pulse of Wings fans, but mostly stay the hell away from NHL posts on here.
Why? For the same reason, I'd expect a Wings fan brought along to a bar in Chicago to stay quiet too. I'm not going to hide who I'm rooting for, but I'm not going to be that idiot going "YEA! TOLD YA LOSERS! WINGS SUCK!"
Just know that the city of Chicago has lots of Hawks fans slowly coming back after being driven off during the mid-90s, 2000s. And lots of has to do with the fact that anybody between the ages of 18-35 right now wasn't able to see Blackhawks games for 15 years on local television. That kind of puts a damper on building a fanbase.
So, yes, I'm extremely happy the Hawks won tonight. And, yes, I'm hoping they win in Game 7. Good luck to you guys as well.
This will be my last post on the series/subject.
This is the funniest thread ever. There were two Hawks fans on the entire thread, and that somehow constitutes a bandwagon and the entire fan base is being compared to msu and ohio while Wings fans want players and refs dead. A little perspective can go a long way.
The number of Chicago douches on this board tonight has been annoying.
Pav has got to show up tomorrow, this is where the stars come out.
Go Wings!

I think what I need is someone to catch a grenade for me.
… perhaps someone to throw their hand on a blade for me.
Someone to jump in front of a train for me?
Wait. What? Clearly I have a problem. I can not stop listening to this silly song.
… and now I want people catching grenades. Please.
Actually, no. All I really need is someone to make cookies for. … and maybe someone to push a piano around Los Angeles for me. That would be… odd.
Just listen to the song… most of the words I've written will make more sense.
I've wanted to make chocolate chip cookies for weeks. For one reason or another I've been dilly-dallying with quinoa and scones and vegan cookies.
None of these things really removed my brain from chocolate chip cookies.
Yesterday morning I woke up and browned butter.
See? It's literally brown. It smells just as delicious as you might imagine. The kind of delicious that you want to rub all of your body. That kind. The good kind.
Once the butter was browned, I knew there were chocolate chip cookies in my future.
I just had no idea how dang good they would turn out. I mean… seriously. I kinda impressed myself.
With browned butter and and AAANNNDDD toasted coconut, these cookies have depth.
If I had to use words to describe them (and I do have to), I would say these cookies are: nutty, toasty, chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, studded with dark chocolate, a total high five, and a pat on the back.
And they don't bake up super flat. They have junk in the trunk… thick thighs… you know what I mean.
Make these. Catch grenades.
Brown Butter Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes just over 2 dozen cookies
recipe adapted from this smittenkitchen recipe
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and browned to about 3/4 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty you like things)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup toasted coconut (I used unsweetened, but sweetened will work as well)
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On one baking sheet, spread out shredded coconut. Toast coconut for about 6 minutes, until browned and fragrant. Remove from the oven, place in a small bowl and let cool.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam and crackle. That's a great sign. That means that the water is evaporating from the butter. Once the crackling subsides, keep an eye on the butter. The butter solids will begin to brown. You'll smell the butter as it browns. Once well browned, immediately remove the butter from the flame and place in a small bowl. Removing the butter from the pan will ensure that it doesn't continue to cook and burn in the hot pan. Allow the butter to cool for a few moments.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, measure granulated and brown sugar. Add the brown butter and beat together, on medium speed, for about 2 minutes. The sugar may still look grainy. That's ok.
Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should become silky smooth. Add vanilla extract and beat.
With mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients. Beat until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a spatula to fold in the toasted coconut and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick.
Cookies can be baked immediately, or the dough can be left in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Spoon balls by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Remove from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container until you can't help but eat them all. Delicious.

Oh, I love you!
These look amazing and thank you for always making me laugh and drool, allin one.
I think I'm missing out on a whole world of brown butter desserts. I need to get on that asap.
I've been depressed about exams but your website cheers me up so. Can't wait to make these! (:
looks delicious!! :)
Mmmm…I did this the other day but made my cookies with cane sugar and chunks of vanilla fudge. Brown butter is completely awesome.
Magically breaking picture frames are always a gold star in my book. Also, my friends and i have discussed this in depth – clearly mr. bruno is also magical because lugging that piano all throughout LA in a suit and not a single drop of sweat?! magic. pure magic.
Its the first time I've seen coconut used in choc chunk cookies, it would be awesome. I generally prefer coconut with white/milk chocolate but I suppose toasted will go well with dark chocolate
oh, man. joy, why do you do this to me? i was just thinking about doing pilates, but now i might bake these cookies instead (because doing both isn't an option somehow…)!
browned butter is my kryptonite!
Great adaptation, I will surely try them!
I've been following your blog for over a year now, and every recipe i've tried has worked perfectly! And oh my god I spent the entire day yesterday all over yours and other foodblogs looking at recipes for chocolate chip cookies!!! and I kept wondering, why can't I find a recipe with browned butter in chocolate chip cookies?? Especially on your blog, since you love it so much ;). It's like you've read my mind! I'm definitely trying these soon! (without the coconut though because I've never liked it). Thanks and keep on posting these fabulous recipes! You're my favourite foodblog!
Ooo, I did this (minus the coconut) with Alton Brown's chewy recipe since brown butter is the best. I ended up freezing most of the dough balls, but then my friend and I finished them off as is. oops…but not. These look fantastic, and I'm intrigued by the coconut!
I like that guy's hair, by the way.
A batch of these coming up this weekend I feel. Coconut AND chocolate AND brown butter!
I love that song, I admit it. Also, until I read this, I thought it was "throw my head on a plate" not "hand on a blade"…I googled the lyrics, and you are right.
I like my version better. (like a lot better. hmph.)
Also, the cookies look scrumptious. And browned butter is HEALTHY- it's BROWN! like "whole-grain" butter or something, right? :)
HAH, I laughed out loud when I read this.
Francesca, that's awesome!!!!!! I like your version WAY better:) ha!
Joy, I love you and you are awesome! (Just thought you should know!)
I've been lurking on your blog for quite some time but I decided to come out of my silence. I too have been itching to make chocolate chip cookies and just haven't gotten around to it yet, :-( but these look awesome and I have to make them. I seem to be out of butter (ACK!) but that is something I'm going to remedy, here at 2:30 in the morning! Nothing like a trip to the store and then baking in the middle of the night! :-)
Thank you!

Keir Moreano's muted yet moving record of his father's experience as a volunteer physician in Vietnam documents a journey that's substantially more philosophical than medical. Following Dr. Alex Moreano, an ear, nose and throat surgeon from Albuquerque, as he treats advanced disease and reflects on his profession, the movie presents a portrait not of a saint but of a complicated man who understands that one of the the lives he's saving is his own. — Jeannette Catsoulis

For decades, universities were in the money. They expanded their administrative staffs, splurged on new buildings, tolerated money-losing sports and indulged professors too busy with their research to be bothered with teaching.
This produced bloated institutions that, while still outstanding in many ways, are dreadfully inefficient and keep raising tuition despite (or perhaps because of) the billions of dollars in federal and state money flowing in each year.
But now the good times appear to be ending, which stands to be good news for anyone in search of high-quality education at a ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A new survey shows that average retail food prices rose slightly in the last three months of 2013 in supermarkets across Kentucky.
The Kentucky Farm Bureau says the year ended with the highest prices in the decades-long history of its Marketbasket Survey.
According to the latest survey, the total cost of 40 basic grocery items was $120.08. Those results were 93 cents higher than the same list of items reported in the third quarter of 2013, which was the previous record high for food prices.
The latest survey reflects a 3.9 percent increase over the average price reported in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Five years ago, the average cost of the same 40 surveyed grocery items was $111.63, or 7.6 percent less than what those items cost on average today.

Epic Thinks People Will Pay $45.00 To Have Access To Purple Guns In Gears of War
So, Epic just released this big Xbox 360 exclusive called Gear of War 3. Coinciding with today's launch, they've also released a Gears of War 3 DLC pack that manages to be both pointless and insulting all at once. The "Weapon Skin Collection – Launch Collection" allows you access to every single weapon skin available for loadout when you play GoW3 multiplayer. Neat! You can have a purple gun. Or a golden gun! Sure, it would be nice if they'd made it available with the game, but surely it's not that big of a deal. Probably 100 microsoft points max, right?
For those of you who don't know the current conversion rate between Microsoft Points and real money, Epic wants you to pay $45.00 for the ability to blast Locusts with a pink gun. After you already paid 60 bucks for the game itself. I'm going to come right out and say it: if you purchase this DLC, you are an idiot.
When it comes to successfully selling DLC to credulous buyers, you need to offer up a plausible reason why you're not, in fact, ripping them off by charging them extra for content you damn well could have included in the main game. Maybe you're "bridging the gap" between sequels. Maybe you're simply using the game's universe to tell another interesting story. The important thing is that you need to at least preserve the illusion that the game you sold on release day, the one you certified gold, was indeed the actual, really final product you intended.
What you must not do is reveal to all the world that you consider your customers to be suckers who will literally lap up anything you offer. Which is exactly what Epic has done here. DLC that neither expands the game nor improves player experience is bad enough, but actually charging an outrageous sum like this for it just insulting. I beg the Internet not to fall for it. The only way Epic will learn their lesson is if this DLC crashes and burns. That goes double if they have the nerve to include it in the GOTY edition.
GameFronters, I know you are all exceptional people and would never fall for this nonsense. But if you know anyone who isn't as wise as you, please make sure not to warn them about the sweet deal to smuggle money out of Nigeria I am about to send to them, OK?

He does have a choice who he may test with. His hand is slowly improving, when the paddle operated gear change failed he was able to use a gear stick with his right hand. Even if it will take another year, he is young and as long as there are teams that consider helping him to return to F1 he has a chance to do so, IMO 2 agree 0 disagree

WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla Sweets have announced the first signings of the 2014 season bringing back infielders Jarod Gonzales and John Skrbec, and catcher Renae Martinez.
All three players were part of the 2013 Sweets team that won the North Division pennant.
Gonzales, a 5-foot, 11-inch 190 pound infielder is a sophomore from Walla Walla Community College. A native of Kennewick, he appeared in 46 regular-season games for the Sweets last season, smacking three home runs, six doubles and two triples.
Martinez, a native of San Pedro, Calif., is a sophomore at UC Irvine. The 6-foot 1-inch, 185-pound catcher hit .308 last season with four doubles, two home runs, and 15 RBI, and was one of nine Sweets selected to the 2013 WCL All-Star game in Victoria, B.C.
Skrbec, a junior at North Dakota State, is a 6-1, 185-pound infielder. Last season he hit .261 with 10 doubles, two triples, and five home runs.
The Sweets open the 2014 season on June 5 at Borleske Stadium with an alumni game in honor of the team's fifth season.

Power cuts after quake to delay Japan's recoveryComment on this story
Japan's earthquake has left a gaping hole in the nation's power capacity that looks set to last months, threatening to make economic recovery far more feeble than hoped. The first rolling power cuts in the history of the giant Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) have already closed many plants, with Toyota shutting down until today at least.
Rolling three-hour blackouts have wrecked the clockwork precision of Japan's railways while a thousand schools across Tokyo cancelled classes. Even Tokyo's ubiquitous neon signs have gone dark, a big blow to confidence in a country that lives by routine and order.
With a new explosion at a nuclear plant in Fukushima threatening a far more serious radiation leak, the power shortage will not get better anytime soon.
"It looks like Japan could be in a 'power down' state for a protracted period," said Stephen Roberts, Nomura's chief economist for Australia. "That's what makes it different from other major quakes.
"People tend to compare it to Kobe and assume a V-shaped recovery, but Kobe never caused this level of power disruption. It means any proper recovery could be delayed right out to the fourth quarter."
Early estimates for the cost of the latest earthquake run up to around $150 billion (R1 trillion) to $180bn, but analysts assume the boost from rebuilding will spark a swift recovery.
After all, the Kobe quake of January 1995 is estimated to have cost around $100bn, but the economy rebounded faster from it than many expected at the time. While manufacturing production fell by 2.7 percent in January, it climbed 4.4 percent over the following three months.
That largely reflected industry's ability to shift production to plants in unaffected parts of the country. There is certainly still plenty of unused manufacturing capacity in Japan, less when it comes to power.
Analysts at Macquarie estimated the earthquake and tsunami took out a quarter of Tepco's total capacity of 65 gigawatts, shared between nuclear and oil.
In all, 15 nuclear plants were shut down and it was not clear how many would re-start or when, though Macquarie expected power supply shortages and rations in Tepco's supply area to continue for months rather than weeks. And the growing crisis at the Fukushima plant brings into question Japan's experiment with nuclear power, which provides about one-third of total generating capacity. "We believe this increases the risk of Japan's nuclear policy being scaled back," said Macquarie.
Nomura's Stephens said there was perhaps scope to ramp up power output at some of Japan's oil and coal plants, though at great extra cost. Japan's increased demand for coal, oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) for generation would also add to upward pressure on resource prices and so to inflation risks elsewhere in Asia. But even then it was unlikely to be enough to make up the current shortfall in power. "If this lasts to the summer, which is more than possible, there is no way the system could supply the power for air conditioning," he warned.
Even the simplest gas turbine power plants takes between one and two years to build, with coal plants usually a lot longer. Still, Japan was lucky to have a potential major supplier of LNG in Australia, where a number of massive projects are under way. "Any potential switch away from nuclear power is likely to favour gas-fired generation, the most practical low carbon-emission alternative," said Arnon Musiker, a director in the energy team of ratings agency Fitch. – Reuters

greys is the only show i will flip out over no one better erase it off my dvr lol no really i even like watching the old shows..... i agree with greys fan come on thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this show is my absolute favorite . i dvr it when im at work and watch it before i go to work and watch it on my laptop. i was afraid i had missed an eposoide but im glad i havent. the relationship that merideith and christina have is so funny they truly act like bff s i told my bff she is my person she says i knw. my husband dosnt understand how i can just watch them always .i tell him it is just like him watching his dumb westerens only better.!
I think the conflict between Cristina and Owen is amazing, it is real! A quick break-up or resolution would be a shame - this storyline has showcased both actors' depths and range. It took me a bit to warm up to them as a couple, but now they're one of my favourites because they compliment each other so well. They are so REAL! People today, they give up too quickly as soon as they hit a speedbump in their relationships...I'm voting to see this couple weather all the storms and make it through...together!
Sloan is sooo going to hook up april and jackson!! About time!!!!
I have seen every single episode too!!! I can't get enough of this show. I agree it should be more than once a week lol!
Christina and Owen, work it out or move on to the next! She needs to want to have a baby soon! Love the show!!!!
Im such a greys addict, once a week just isn't enough. I've watched every single episode!!!! Thursday hurry up :)

One thing that True Blood has done really well over the seven seasons is kill characters; even if we didn't want them killed. Watch a video that nicely chronicles the most memorable deaths on all the seven seasons. See Godric meet the sun, Russell Edgington kill the newscaster, watch Sam turn into a fly and jump into the mouth of The Authority's Rosalyn Harris and turn back into himself and exploding her, and see Bill Compton kill Salome before he drinks Lillith's blood and miuch more.
4 comments
And now....a look at the weather!
A classic moment.
Luved this part.....this was the BEST of Russel Edington
Truly a memorable list. Gran's death should be on there, although we didn't actually see it happen. Debbie Pelt was another notable one. Also, Rene, Terry, Alcide, and Tara when she first "died" before becoming a vampire.

"I watched the game late night and they did well. Of course there is always room for improvement but I believe they will put their gear on in the second game.
"They need our collective effort and I am convinced that they can win the title for us.
"We should continue to support and pray for them."
Ghana coach Bashir Hayford took massive positives from his side's opening win and declared they could win the ultimate.

Goose stands tall at Pebble Beach
TIL Desk/ Twice U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen will be standing a little taller at this week's Pebble Beach National Pro-Am after having back surgery last year to resurrect a career he thought might be over. The soft-spoken South African had an operation in London to repair a disintegrated disc and with a titanium and rubber replacement now installed, he estimates he has grown eight millimetres. "I'm feeling good," Goosen told reporters on Wednesday while preparing for Thursday's opening round in the pro-am celebrity event played on the picturesque Monterey Peninsula. "I think I'm the first ever professional golfer who's had disc replacements who plays on the tours, although there have been hundreds of disc replacements on regular business people."
A seven-times winner on the PGA Tour, Goosen tied for 48th in last year's PGA Championship before he was sidelined for the rest of the season after having back surgery in London on August 21. "At that point, my back was so messed up I pretty much couldn't play anymore," the 44-year-old recalled. "It was impossible to go through 18 holes without getting spasms in the back and struggling to hit some shots on certain lies. "For me the decision (to have surgery) was not easy, but in a way I just felt it could only be better. I don't think my back could get any worse. "At that stage, I pretty much felt like my career was over. I couldn't hit the ball anymore; I couldn't practise."

can you use a slice of bread from an 800g loaf as an HEB?
can you use a slice of bread from an 800g loaf as an HEB?
Yes but just the one slice!
I thought so thank you
You are allowed 60g so I think it actually comes to 1 and a half slices, you could syn the rest.
I sometimes do the 60g trick, which is indeed 1.5 slices. Although if you do this every day, keep an eye on if it affects losses. Other point is your HEb bread has to be wholemeal Full lists of what qualifies are on the dropdown menus in the online Food Diary - much more than is listed in the book!
Top tip - if you buy a lot of the 'own brand' breads ie Sainsburys Wholemeal then 2 slices from an 800g medium loaf come to 60g. They seem to slice them thinner. D you weigh it and it's over just cut one of the crusts off

Surprisingly, Gen Y.2 prefers to conduct regular transactions in person at bank branches, at a rate of 2.5 times greater than those consumers over 65 years old. These in-person branch visits add up to a significant cost for FIs, compared to self-service models like mobile banking.
Join us as we explore these two young age segments — Y.1 and Y.2 — including attitudes about managing money and their desire for personal finance management (PFM), their mobile preferences, their loyalty tendencies to banks and other third party vendors, and financial products they desire. We will present pointed recommendations on how to best maximize a banking relationship with this young generation.
During the webinar Javelin will answer:
- How will encouraging positive banking behaviors early on result in a win‐win for banks and Gen Y consumers?
- Who are the Gen Y consumers who frequent bank branches for everyday transactions, and how can FIs encourage these consumers to use less costly channels?
- How willing are Gen Y consumers to go to third‐party competitors for their banking, mobile, and PFM needs?
- How do the Gen Y subgroups differ in their online‐ and mobile‐banking habits?

Howard Malls
Howard Malls
William Howard (1725-1777) owned the Rising Sun Tavern, also known as the Howard Halfway House because of its location between Brooklyn Village and the town of Jamaica at the intersection of the Bedford and Jamaica Turnpikes (now the corner of Broadway and Jamaica Avenue). The tavern lodged travelers, served as a gathering place, and sold basic supplies to the area farmers. Its design was unusual – the Rising Sun had two bars, segregated so its Dutch patrons would not have to endure the perceived indignity of drinking with their slaves.
In August 1776, British General William Howe (1729-1814) advanced on American troops, culminating in the Battle of Brooklyn. During the middle of the night he stopped at the Rising Sun Tavern and took Howard and his family prisoner. Howard supported American independence and tried to refuse aiding the general. Howe threatened to have Howard shot in the head if he did not comply, so Howard and his fourteen year-old son, also named William (1762-1854), led the British along the Rockaway Path (which ran through what is now the Evergreen Cemetery). They were able to avoid Jamaica Pass, which they thought was heavily defended by American troops. There were, however, only five American soldiers at Jamaica Pass. They were supposed to fall back and raise the alarm at the approach of British troops. By circumventing the pass with Howard's help, the English took the lookout by surprise and easily captured its few guards. The British then attacked the American troops from behind their fortified position, nearly destroying it in its first military defeat. General George Washington barely escaped from New York with his troops.
The Howard family remained prominent in the area after the end of the Revolutionary War. A descendant of William Howard, Phillip Howard Reid, opened a flour and feed store at Atlantic and Alabama Avenues in 1857. When the porch became a depot for trains to Rockaway Beach on the Long Island and Canarsie Steam Railroads, people began using it as a gathering place, and Reid quickly recognized that it had the potential to make him more money as a hotel. So, like his ancestor, he opened his own Howard House.
In 1839, Howard Avenue between Broadway and Eastern Parkway Extension was laid out on the map of the City of Brooklyn. The Howard Malls are green spaces that run down the center of the street between Blake and Dumont Avenues. Because they do not connect to Eastern Parkway Extension and Kings Highway, they are not fully integrated with the Brooklyn parkway system that evolved from the vision of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), who designed the Eastern and Ocean Parkways. Nevertheless, the malls complement the parkways and create a pleasantly calm and scenic streetscape lined with attractive two-story homes.

Both the gap in solutions and the assumption of outcomes undermine this argument.
It hinges on the assumption that the Vatican or its metaphysical emanation, the Holy See, is a state.
This assumption, by and large, was a fair one, justified by our particular experience.
An interest in fashion also seems to beget an assumption of selfishness and mean-spiritedness.
The assumption is that he will make good on the wink, just as blacks made good on the nod by supporting him in record numbers.
And I felt that here again the assumption was an untrue one.
With the assumption that I might be within hearing, De Boer tried to trap me.
There is an assumption of superiority, and often a manifestation of contempt.
Such an assumption is based on false conception of the psychology of suggestion.
He had been stunned by the shock and his active imagination had at once accepted the assumption that he had been wounded.
c.1300, "the reception, uncorrupted, of the Virgin Mary into Heaven," also the Church festival (Aug. 15) commemorating this, Feast of the Assumption, from Old French assumpcion and directly from Latin assumptionem (nominative assumptio) "a taking, receiving," noun of action from past participle stem of assumere (see assume). Meaning "minor premise of a syllogism" is late 14c. Meaning "appropriation of a right or possession" is mid-15c. Meaning "action of taking for oneself" is recorded from 1580s; that of "something taken for granted" is from 1620s.
