Via The World: One month alone at sea and it's every bit as challenging as I expected
British adventurer Sarah Outen is currently on a bid to loop the planet using human power – rowing, cycling and kayaking from London2London:Via the World. Having completed the first phase in 2011, Sarah is now embarking on a gruelling solo row across the North Pacific. She will be blogging for The Independent all the way back to London. Sarah was the first woman and youngest person to row solo across the Indian Ocean (2009, aged 24), was appointed MBE in 2011 for services to rowing, conservation and charity and earlier this year, had her first book published – 'A Dip in the Ocean: Rowing solo across the Indian'.
Thirty four days have passed since I pushed out of Choshi Marina, Japan in my boat Happy Socks, bound for Canada, with only oars for engines. Goodness knows how many months we have ahead.
It has certainly been a month to remember, and every bit the adventure I had hoped and every bit as challenging a return as I imagined it would be. I say a return as last year my attempt to row solo from Japan to Canada failed after a tropical storm damaged my boat. This is unfinished business.
After a first week plagued by seasickness and self-doubt, I was pleased to find my sea legs in good shape and settle into my new life as the culture shock faded and I edged out to sea.
In fact edged isn't really a fair description – I positively raced away from the coast, making good use of the strong Kuroshio current which heads up the coast of Japan and Eastward for just under one thousand miles or so. Within two weeks I had passed the point at which I was rescued last year, a distance, which had taken me double the time to cover on my first attempt. Although at times the weather was rough and the wind strong, and I spent many days confined to my tiny cabin, physical progress east was rapid and encouraging. For some blog followers who hadn't seen an ocean row before, they wondered if I was over half way to Canada and would I be there in time for the summer?! Not quite.
If the ocean has taught me anything over the years it is not to take things for granted and to remember that nothing will last forever, good times or bad.
This last week has been a week of negative progress – I am sixty miles closer to Japan than I was six days ago. Counter currents and contrary winds have conspired to push me south and west, my tracker looping loops – 'knitting' if you like. I feel lucky that it took a month for that to happen, although I know that many more months of it lie ahead.
For now I feel robust and strong, though I wonder at how the rough times and loss of miles will affect me in future months, when I am ragged and tired. One step at a time, moment by moment – this is how the ocean will be crossed. I won't use words like won or conquered because there is nothing to be conquered out here but my own fear and foibles. And the ocean cannot be conquered – it is mistress of all, untameable and wild - and she reminds me of that regularly.
While I haven't seen the strength of storm that put paid to last year's attempt yet, I have seen some wild weather already – a harbinger for what lies ahead. For days at a time I have been confined to my cabin, strapped to my bed for safety. My back howls with pain at such lengths of forced stillness and my head turns to cotton wool with the heat. There is nothing to do but wait it out and listen to Winnie the Pooh or something calming. Staying safe in such weather is a very passive process – you let the boat do the work, taking comfort in the fact that you have prepared her well. When we capsized for the first time three weeks in, a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I had been so scared of capsizing after last year's storm, but I took great relief in the fact that Happy Socks rolled as designed and that everything worked as it should. A violent capsize in the dark more recently didn't have the same feelings of relief attached – it just shook me up and scared me, letting the self-doubt in, as the negative chatter reminded me how many months lay ahead and goodness knows how many capsizes. Happily, daylight came and I could talk myself back down, remind myself that I had done everything I could to stay safe and that Happy Socks rolled as she should. It is all about attitude – framing things with as positive a slant as you can muster. The ocean is a mind-game after all, a half year marathon of extremes, emotional mountains and adrenaline. To think that one month has passed already seems mad, to think of the unknown time and events ahead rather mind boggling.
Yet, to look backwards and see where I have come from is also pretty mind boggling too, but in a great way. To be back out here within a year of being rescued, having rebuilt the project, raised more finance and kitted out a new boat makes me happy. To be visited by whales and dolphins and albatrosses and turtles makes it all worthwhile, even with the odd capsize along the way.
So for now I shall just focus on taking it one moment at a time, relishing the great bits and toughing out the crazy stuff, and making my lists of Good Things About Today. If I can keep doing that through the hours, days and months ahead, I reckon we have as good a chance as any of making it safely to the other side.
Bring. It. On.

By Jay Calderon | May 02, 2012 | Comments
On how he's recovering after his nearly fatal motorcycle crash that took place on May 5, 2011: The recovery is going as well as we expected. I almost lost my foot along with my life. So, the recovery has been pretty tough. Every day, it's been very painful, the therapies very painful. But, I'm already back in the ring in a limited capacity. Not quite at Hurricane level yet. But, I had to get back out there because it's my dream, it's what I love doing. So, it's going as well as can be expected. I only see good things happening in the future.
On his new partnership with the iMMAFightFan cell phone app: "Well, it's kind of a dream project. It's something I'm actually going to be doing for pro wrestling as well. But, first we wanted to do the one that was MMA-based. It's pronounced 'I'ma Fight Fan' but as you said, it's a little "i", capital "MMA". It's sort of like a [FIND] locator and this is something that you can't find anywhere else. It's exclusive only to this app.
"When you turn the app on, it will pretty much list every MMA show coming up for all the big, major companies. No doubt. But, it will also have a lot of smaller companies that you probably haven't ever heard of. This is where the app is really going to be beneficial because any company that gets the app -- and it's a totally free download -- they can go and put their even in there. It goes to our database and then anybody that has the app can find out about it.
"As MMA fighters know and just like you were talking about, promotion is everything. Especially on these smaller-scale shows. UFC, they've got their promotion down pat. Strikeforce, they've got their promotion down pat. But these smaller shows -- even Bellator just did some really bad ratings. They need help with that and that's what this app is designed to do.
"The best part of the app is when you turn it on, it goes into the GPS on your phone and it finds the shows that are closest to you. It just helped me out because there's a show 30 miles from my house which I didn't even know about."
On what he feels about Brock Lesnar's return means for the business: "I think it's definitely a plus for the business. I can't see anybody having a realistic argument against that. [Extreme Rules] itself, in my opinion, exceeded WrestleMania in execution. I don't know if expectations were low, I didn't think they were low, but it was definitely a barn-burner of a show.
"As a professional, I wasn't sure if Brock Lesnar was ready to come back and compete at that stage. But, it got really rough out there and it's got a lot of people talking. ... Like you said, that Chicago crowd was just out of control. One of the best crowds in the world and, as you well know, I've been in pretty much every country that does pro wrestling. Every major city in the world, I've been there and that Chicago crowd is at the very tip-top as far as reaction. ... We still have a higher injury rate than MMA. We still go out there and beat each other to death. But, there are some people because of the predetermined notions kind of shy away from it. But this match, Brock Vs. Cena, put a lot of doubts in people's minds."

This three day course will focus on the Philosophy, Principles, Process, Products, Practices and the People and provide the partipants with practical experience. Those include communication skills, team collaboration, but also planning and time management.
Intended for all skill profiles interested in working in an Agile way, reaching from business analysts or even business visionaries, consultants and testers, developers and architects.
None per se, but it makes sense if you have worked in projects in the past.
To provide training in the DSDM framework and give guidance on how the delegate's skills might be applied on a DSDM project. It is aimed at those intending to gain a deeper understanding of DSDM or to those that will take an active role in a DSDM project team. At the end of this training, delegates should have a detailed understanding of all the component parts of DSDM and how they work together to support DSDM as a whole, together with practical experience of DSDM.
The course will examine the following questions and points surround DSDM, as an Agile methodology, covering the entire Project Life-Cycle:
The course will examine the philosophy, reproduced below, and look at what this really means in the real-World:
The DSDM Philosophy is that any project must be aligned to clearly defined strategic goals and focus upon early delivery of real benefits to the business.
This is best achieved when key stakeholders understand the business objectives, are empowered to an appropriate level, and collaborate in order to deliver the right solution. This solution will be delivered in the agreed timescale, according to the priorities set by the business.
The stakeholders must be prepared to deliver a fit-for-purpose solution. They must also be prepared to accept that change is inevitable as they understand more about the solution being developed.
The 8 principles of DSDM are examined in depth, using examples and exercises to deepen the understanding:
The DSDM Life Cycle is examined in depth concentrating on:
The Roles and Responsibilities are presented and examined and used in practical exercises to embed understanding of:
DSDM encourages the use of five practices, each of which is examined in detail.
There are a number of additional areas that need to be examined in order to support DSDM projects:
All training partners & trainers are provided via Accredited Training Organisations, in this case of the DSDM Consortium.

If there is more than 1 serving in a package, I divide it into the number of servings it says into snack size bags.
Easy measureing. Since servings are not always easy, for things like cereal, I keep the proper serving size measuring cup in the container. I get the exact serving size without having to pour into a measuring cup.
Confused by what "ONE SERVING" looks like? It varies so much from food to food. Here's a pretty comprehensive guide.
Good Morning All. I know we all Love to try new recipes and posting them to SparkRecipes.com...PLEASE When entering a new recipe, put the serving SIZE (eg. 1 cup or 4 oz etc..). It's quite difficult to make a recipe and then divide it by the number of servings to find out the serving size.We all try to watch our serving sizes and acturally measure them out all the time.It would be so helpful to include the serving sizes in your recipes for all of us.Thank You.You are all the BEST....OXOX

text: Having been handed an opportunity at EuroBasket Women 2013 after helping the team during the qualification process a year earlier, Hamilton recorded some nice tidy cameos despite being given only limited court time. She has since been back in France at club level after being handed a gig at Lyon, having played her rookie pro-season in EuroLeague Women with Brno. This additional experience is priceless and builds on the notion that she can crank up her output and influence to realise her bucket loads of promise as a youth player. She brings a physical element to the frontcourt, does the simple things well and will now look to show she can be an important post-player and make a breakthrough in terms of minutes and output.

Stratford is already a great place to live and enjoy but the East London suburb will be one of the best places to live in London by the end of 2011, especially if you like great entertainment. With the new Westfield Stratford City opening on September 13 2011, Stratford will be a great place to shop. The giant shopping centre will also offer a Vue Cinema, an art gallery, a casino and a bowling alley.
It has just been confirmed that the bowling alley will be run by All Star Lanes and will provide a 14 lane bowling alley, a restaurant and a bar within the venue. All Star Lanes already runs several bowling alleys in London including on in Holborn, another in Bayswater and one in Bricklane and they are planning to expand over the next few years to Bristol, Manchester and many other cities. All Star Lanes Westfield Stratford City will be the company's fourth venue in London. The Bowling alleys, cocktail bars and restaurants are designed to capture the American retro style while offering superb quality of service in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
All Star Lanes Bowling will not only offer great entertainment for all the family, but also a trendy stylish place to hang out for a cocktail or two. The group now has just 3 months to get everything ready for early September. All Star Lanes founder and CEO Mark von Westenholz said: "We are delighted to be a part of Westfield Stratford City site."
All Star Lanes is a great addition to the list of leisure and entertainment on offer at Westfield Stratford City. With the UK's largest casino – the new Aspers Casino Stratford, three hotels – Premier Inn, Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites, a 17-screen Vue cinema and great restaurants and bars, and now an All Star Lanes Bowling, Stratford will definitely be a great place to spend time.

Though the recently released Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGSCE) results are said to have improved by a slight 1.4 percent, thanks to the 32.4 percent (65, 798) candidates who got grade C or better, as compared to 2011's 31 percent (65,303) - much more needs to be done to align the school output with market demands.
In addition to the 1.4 percent improvement, the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) reports that results show a significant improvement in performance in Home Management, Music and Fashion and Fabrics."Generally, a decline in performance across the rest of the subjects has been noted," BEC states.
The examinations body adds that females performed better than males. Though female candidates continue to outperform their male counterparts in Humanities and Languages, Mathematics, Sciences and Creative and Vocational subjects remain males' domain.In an interview with Mmegi yesterday, the Managing Director of Human Resources Management Consultants (HRMC), Stuart White said the labour market would require expertise in ICT, telephony and telecommunications, financial services, mining and explorations in the next 10 years.
He says the ICT field is going to be absolutely paramount and the telecommunications, which are very rare in supply because the more the nation becomes dependent in doing business electronically and the further the complex the field becomes, more qualified human capital is demanded.
"As the country comes under pressure to diversify its economy from dependency on diamonds there is a need for commercial and entrepreneurial skills in the country," White says. In addition, services will also top the agenda in the coming decade. The HR guru called for more investment in call centre and other knowledge-based services training.
With the recent results, which he called unacceptable, White says the economy would face a tough future if the situation is not redressed as a matter of urgency. "It has to become a national priority," he says, adding that the standard of teaching across all levels, from primary, junior and senior secondary to tertiary have to prepare learners for meaningful value addition
to the labour market both locally and across the globe.
Another HR personality, Batsho Dambe-Groth of Resources Logic, told Mmegi that vocational skills would be (and are currently) required because the focus has been much more on the academics. The managing director of this human resources consultancy company adds that entrepreneurial skills will be critical, as attention has been shifted towards being employed as opposed to being employment-creators. She says even those absorbed in the employment roll at the moment need to have these skills because generally, the conventional approach has been that school prepares one to be an employee.
"Technical computer skills will be needed because currently students go to university to concentrate on the theoretical aspect," she says. She mentions service orientation as another crucial aspect that the nation needs to work on. Dambe-Groth says in most instances people are qualified in various disciplines but lack service delivery skills and not applying themselves fully in their respective vocations.
She calls upon each stakeholder to take responsibility in ensuring that the education system produces market-fit individuals and those who can help diversify the economy through entrepreneurship. However, she says this can be realised if the method of delivery embraces independent thinking, instils ambition among learners and other soft skills such as self-belief and aspirations to make a difference.
"Students should move away from that mentality where it is okay to supplement, they should focus on passing the examinations," she says. Lastly, she says government should provide structure in which people would want to go into teaching, and that teaching should not be viewed as a last resort but the noble image that the vocation once had ought to be restored. Learners on the other hand, she says, should fully apply themselves regardless of the environment.
Globally, it is also believed that best jobs follow the hottest markets being medicine, consulting and the e-economy. Global competition means more work for consultants with management experience. The web economy means more jobs for the web-savvy.

Force India driver Sergio Perez is expecting the pecking order to remain the same at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.
The Mexican finished ninth at the last race in Spain, after all 11 teams fitted their first major upgrade packages. Mercedes pulled further ahead of Red Bull Racing, while both Force India cars finished behind the Williams of Valtteri Bottas, the two Ferrari drivers and Romain Grosjean in the Lotus.
The next race takes place around the streets of Monte Carlo. It is one of his favourite tracks. "It's a big challenge and I have always believed it's a circuit where the driver can really make a difference," he said.
"So you always have the chance to do something special there. It's not the most difficult lap of the year, but you have to always keep your concentration.
"I enjoy Casino Square. It's quick and you have to be very precise with the way you position the car. The other thing that makes Monaco so special is the fact that it's unique in every aspect. Every corner is iconic and there is no other race like it."
When asked if he is expecting any surprises, he replied: "I don't believe that there will be a major surprise and I expect the same teams to be at the front. It's hard to predict how strong we will be, but I hope we can continue our good form."
His team-mate Nico Hulkenberg shared a similar view ahead of the weekend: "I think it will be a normal track for us. As far as the pecking order is concerned, it's very tight and competitive at the moment so we need to keep working hard and keep developing."
Force India is currently fourth in the constructors' standings, nine points behind Ferrari and 11 ahead of Williams. Hulkenberg and Perez are sixth and 10th respectively in the drivers' championship.

I installed this in a blown 2001 yz250f. the 03 and up spec crank is a great upgrade for the weak 01-02 bottom ends. Bigger crank pin is far more durable. (you will need an 03 up flywheel and flywheel nut if you plan on dropping in an 01-02). This kit is great. measured runout was less than .001" and factory allows for up to .002". not bad for a mass produced crank from Taiwan. What's the difference between Taiwanese products and some made in China, Quality Control. Taiwan has good QC; China not so much. the components of this kit all are of high quality. rod stamped made in U.S.A., vertex gaskets, Taiwanese main bearings, and KSF (I think? cant remember) oil seals. the only beef I have with this kit is that the O-rings for the oiling sytem passage ways seemed thinner than OEM so I re-used the OEM ones as I thought they would seal better. had I known that before I would have ordered new OEM O-rings when I ordered this kit. (there's your notice would-be buyer) Overall a very high quality kit with no issues. So far, I have over ten hours on this kit and expect to get lots more. Hot rods kits are all high quality priced right! they are the only kits I will buy from now on.Read All Reviews

I can't run. But I ran anyway.
You've listened to me prattle on about this for a while now, I know. About how I felt ripped off when I ignored a prodding from God about the SheLoves Half Marathon. About how I decided to be fearless this year, to learn how to say "yes" to everything that I've always thought I was too weak, too fat, too silly, too tired, too embarrassed, too self-conscious, too "me" to do. About how I decided that this year, I won't be on the sidelines, no, this year, awkward gait and extra forty pounds be damned, I will be running. I decided to run, not just for me, but for our girls at Mercy Ministries. I wanted to run because I believe in miracles and somehow, it made sense in my heart, I don't know why.
I decided to run because this year, I wasn't content to organize and plan, I wanted to sweat, to hurt, to be physically present, to hold each one of our brave and strong Mercy girls – residents, graduates, hopefuls, supporters – in my heart and pump my blood faster, push my body harder, do something I was so afraid I to do because I was so afraid of failing again.
It was awful.
I hate running. Like, hate hate hate hate hate it. If my sister had a loonie for every time I showed up at the track, grumpy and tired, with a plan to manipulate her into somehow agreeing to go get a glass of wine and an appy at Earl's instead ("Come on! They won't care if we're in track clothes! It's Monday night in Abbotsford! We're mothers! They expect that sort of thing!"), she would be a wealthy woman. And for the record, she resisted me each and every time. (Except once. And that time, oh, we had fun. Totally worth it. But sshhh…don't tell our husbands.)
Yes. Running. I don't like it. I don't understand you people that do like to run. But we ran and we ran – although my version of running likely requires the use of ironic air quotes around the word to properly convey the complete awkward visual of me "running" – but you get the idea. We ran in the rain and the snow and the sleet and the winter dark and the wind even though I gave her fits with my bad attitude and Angry Eyes, my protestations about wind and cold and foggy glasses. I registered for the run. I set up my little sponsorship page on the website. Thanks to all of you and a few others, we even raised more than $1500 for Mercy Ministries!
And as Race Day loomed, I looked for a reason to quit. I bargained with myself. I hadn't actually managed to run 5K yet. I couldn't do it on a flat surface, let alone a hilly park. Every walker would finish that race before me. It was ridiculous. I was ridiculous. This was ridiculous. Come on! It's not like it matters. No one needs me to run a race. It's a 5K, not a marathon, certainly not world peace, it doesn't matter, I can quit, right?
But no. I couldn't and I wouldn't. I still don't know why it felt like such a big deal, why it felt like a watershed moment for me, but it did. I felt like I was bumping up against every lie I've ever believed about myself.
We showed up on race day. I have no clue about these things, and I severely overdressed in heavy black yoga pants plus two t-shirts. I helped pack sack lunches from 7AM onward, and I didn't drink any water. My friend, Sarah, showed up as a surprise to cheer me on – she runs half marathons once a year "just to keep in shape" – and I burst into tears at the sight of her, clearly I was slightly hysterical. I had a knot in my stomach and I tried to distract myself from my certain defeat by laughing too loud, flitting around, acting so fine.
We gathered at the start line. I've never run a race in my life, I was so nervous. And then the horn went off and we ran.
We ran. We ran.
I was running.
It was a gorgeous day in the park. We ran in the shadows of mountains, past derelict red barns, fields of wildflowers, arched by the spring blue sky of a perfect BC day. My sister encouraged me every step of the way, I had never ran in our training as much as I ran on that old path through the park, two minutes of straight running felt like an eternity. We were almost entirely alone – the last of the runners, but just ahead of the walkers. But I ran. We walked when we needed to walk. I was boiling hot. But I ran. Mercy graduates stood on the path with big signs, with cups of water, and I wanted to cry at the sight of them, I wanted to hold them and say, thank you for letting me do this, thank you for teaching me just a bit about courage and guts and miracles. My sister and I talked about other stuff, anything to take my mind off the fact that I was making my body do something I had never made it do before. Around the 4KM mark, I was hit with a bad headache – an "I-haven't-drank-anything-but-coffee-in-12-hours-and-I'm-sweltering-in-heavy-black-clothes-on-a-hot-sunny-day-what-the-hell-were-you-thinking-woman" kind of headache. One of my little physical quirks is that I get sick to my stomach when I have a headache and this was no exception, I was miserable. My sister had her second wind, I could tell she wanted to run, but she stayed with me, she matched her pace to my shuffle, she did not leave me.
We walked and hobbled through the fourth kilometre, I swore profusely as we wound our way up the final incline, she hooked her elbow around mine, half-dragged me up the dusty hillside path. We hit the final 100 metres and an impossibly cheery race attendant kept encouraging us to "spring to the finish" and I nearly kicked her in the shins. I was dripping wet, hot, miserable, sore, tired and my head hurt.
But we rounded the final bend, and I saw a finish line. And I swear to you, my heart leaped up into my throat, and I couldn't see for the tears in my eyes. My sister turned to me , she was already running, her eyes full of tears for me, she held out her hand, I grabbed on, and we ran, we ran, we ran those last 100 M across my first finish line. I cried and cried like I had just finished a marathon, instead of a measly 5K run. I didn't even check my time, I bet it was close to 55 minutes, no joke, I was just relieved I'd beaten the walkers. I had a drink of water and promptly went over to to the bushes and threw up everywhere. No one laughed at me, they celebrated for me. My mother had pushed my niece in a stroller that entire path with her friend, they made it over the line, we laughed and hugged all over again. I laid in the grass and moaned with misery. Every one hugged and danced like we'd completed the Tour de France, they were all so happy for me, I made me realise, most of us, we want to cheer each other on, we really do.
I still hate running. But I love finishing.
I hate the process of growing and changing and doing something new and hard. But I love this moment, sitting on my back deck, listening to the birds sing and the creek run by my house, hardly able to feel my legs, feet aching, but feeling so satisfied, so real, so human, this knowing that I was so scared of this, so sure I couldn't do it, and now, it's done. It's done.
It was amazing.

Sebastian Couture's Design Come to Life
I am a sucker for theatrics and can't help but love when designers know how to entertain their audience. I literally had goosebumps during this one. Shutter lens, wardrobe malfunctions, and my personal comparisons to Alexander McQueen complete this live action video. Enjoy Sebastian Couture as his designs come to life in this live from the front row video taken by yours truly.
I am no cinematographer so I quickly learned that I should have turned my iPhone sideways. Oops will do next time blog reader!
Hope you enjoyed this little bite sized snack from the Atlantic Fashion Week: Designer Showcase. I will be posting more photos from the runway along with my "outfit inspo" photos in the very near future. Stay tuned!

This story was originally printed on April 6, 2008.
Copyright 2008
The El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System is the worst in the nation, according to an internal performance survey, the El Paso Times has learned.
Reported problems at the El Paso VA involve patient care, outreach, technology, medical equipment and supplies, and staff morale that apparently resulted in threats of "mass resignations." The situation prompted a visit Friday from U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Asked whether he thought the El Paso VA was failing local veterans, Filner answered, "No question."
The El Paso VA is not providing the level of customer service it should, system Director Bruce E. Stewart said late Friday, but it has made recent improvements. And, in some cases, the way the El Paso VA answered survey items gave a wrong impression, he added.
Although Filner said he saw reason for optimism after meeting with top El Paso VA staff, including Stewart, he said he told them he would conduct a congressional hearing if things did not improve in the near future.
"It seemed clear to me that the culture of the place needed some radical changes," Filner said in an exclusive interview with the El Paso Times. "There wasn't a service orientation."
Filner said the problems in El Paso also are symptoms of a systemwide culture that doesn't put veteran care first, but all too often focuses on cost-cutting.
He said the present funding mechanism -- which doesn't provide enough money to get through a year without supplemental budgets -- is a major stumbling block for the department.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Web site lists more than 70 health-care systems, which can include other types of treatment centers.
"He (Filner) has been leading the effort around the country to make sure we're doing a better job taking care of veterans," said U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, who asked Filner to make the trip and also attended the meeting Friday.
Congress has put together the largest budget in the department's history, Reyes said.
The additional money, Stewart said, is allowing him to hire more than 100 people, which will significantly improve the overall quality of care provided by the agency.
The survey -- which measured clinical quality, access and patient satisfaction -- scored the El Paso VA at 71.4, while the national average was 81.3, according to a letter to Reyes from Susan P. Bowers, VA Southwest Healthcare Network VISN 18 director.
The letter, dated Feb. 29, was provided by Reyes' office in response to an El Paso Times request for information on the survey, which was concluded last fall.
"This is the lowest aggregate score in the country, and is (an) area of significant concern," wrote Bowers, who was at the meeting Friday.
A 1.9 percent decline in visits from 2006 to 2007, reported by Bowers, is an indication some veterans are giving up on the El Paso VA, Reyes said.
However, Bowers praised Stewart for consistently approving "the immediate recruitment of any physician position as soon as there is an indication that the position will be vacated," and added that "many of the problems noted existed when Stewart assumed responsibility as the director."
El Paso veterans advocate Ron Holmes, who attended the meeting, said he has worked with three El Paso VA directors. He said he and another veterans advocate were promised a more-direct way of passing along problems veterans are experiencing.
"Let's wait and see," Holmes said Saturday. "I would like to say we've got new people, and we're carrying baggage from the last group."
A long-standing problem for the El Paso VA has been its "front door" -- the telephone system.
During the past two years, Bowers wrote, hold times on the system have dropped from an average of more than two hours to fewer than 15 minutes.
A new phone system, which is installed and being debugged, Stewart said, will provide VA officials with the data they need to identify bottlenecks.
That will include finding out why veterans are calling so that staffers can be allocated in a way that allows more calls to be answered by humans instead of recordings, he said.
Regarding a complaint that a "large" backlog of patients are waiting for outside consultant visits because of slow payments or nonpayments by VA, Bowers said no "significant issues" have been brought to the attention of the financial department, although she added, "there have been isolated instances of problems in individual cases" that were quickly resolved.
Although Bowers acknowledged that there have been delays making appointments in specialty areas such as eye care and urology that "are short staffed internally as well as in the community," she wrote that nearly all primary-care appointments for new and established patients are completed within 30 days of the desired date.
An extended-hours program requested by Reyes to allow for walk-in patients who can't leave their jobs during the day was "designed to fail," in part due to inadequate publicity, according to a summary of complaints provided by Reyes' office.
Veterans also were required to get appointments rather than simply walk in.
Bowers wrote that the after-hours clinic was not set up for walk-ins "because of the level of staffing that would be required to make that a safe and effective model. Essentially, all areas of the clinic would have to be open during that time if (the El Paso VA) were to adopt that model."
But both congressmen said Bowers' response illustrated the problem.
Rather than detailed explanations of why the programs won't work, they said they wanted to see proposals -- including requests for more money or other resources, if necessary -- that would make them work.
"Maybe two days a week they could open at 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. and stay open late at night," Filner said.
Filner said he asked Bowers to rewrite her response with a focus on what can be done to improve things, and both congressmen said they planned a follow-up meeting in the near future.
"Being rated lowest in the nation was a huge embarrassment, and I think they're committed to changing," Filner said, but he added, "It doesn't change with one meeting."

Former Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot made an appearance with Holden and Danny on 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. and once again ripped into head coach Mike Shanahan.
"If he loses this game, this is the end of the Red Lobster," Smoot said via The Washington Post. "I think you can put him in the broiler if he loses this game right here."
Like last time, Smoot went on to say how "terrible" Shanahan is and that the Skins need a head coach that "understands RGIII talent."
Smoot did give Shanahan credit for bringing in good players. But said he can't coach.
"I didn't say he shopped for bad groceries. He shopped for good players," Smoot said, before launching into the most Smoot-like analogy of all Smoots.
"Like we said, he just cannot cook. You know, sometimes grandma gets too old. She know what to go in the grocery store and get, but she just cannot whip it up like she used to."
"Great coaches get the most out of players, even the players that are not that good, they get the most out of these players. With Shanahan right now, I think right now the game has just passed him. Like he's not a bad coach, he's a Super Bowl winning coach, but I just think right now, today's athletes, and everything that goes on with today's football, has just simply passed him."
You can certainly always count on a very entertaining interview with Smoot.

Winamp lite v5.581
WavPack plugin v2.8a
I'm at a loss here. I used to use Winamp v5.35 lite along with the WavPack plugin to listen to my WavPack files. I just installed it yesterday and it works normally for all files except WavPack files. The .WV extension doesn't show in the file types list, but the in_wv.dll is installed in the C:\Program Files\WinAmp\Plugins folder.
I've tried Winamp versions 5.35, the current 5.581, and even an old 2.x version, and the .WV extension never shows up in the file types list despite the in_wv.dll being installed in the C:\Program Files\WinAmp\Plugins folder.
Any ideas?

Despite you thinking v2.6 of the plug-in wouldn't work I decided to try it.... and it worked.
Installed it and right away I saw WV in the file types list in Winamp's preferences. Then I got v2.7 of the plug-in by editing the link you gave me, installed it, and WV was gone again.
Earlier this evening before you replied I was messing around with Dependency Walker. I've used it before but I really don't know what I'm doing.
If I see something in red I just assume it's a file that's missing or corrupt, so I download a copy and see if it fixes the issue.
In the case of Winamp the following DLLs were listed in red and said not to be on my PC:
wzcdlg.dll (related to Wireless Zero Configuration)
msoert2.dll (related to Outlook Express)
msjava.dll (related to java)
I don't know why any of those would have anything to do with the issue but I downloaded them from some DLL website and put them in the system directory but it didn't solve the problem.
I was Googling and trying to see if I could find anyone else with this problem and I did find a couple, and one of the suggestions had something to do with putting libmmd.dll in Winamp's plug-in folder. Did it, didn't help.
Dependency Walker also shows the icon (or whatever) for mpr.dll in red, but the file isn't missing, it's already on my PC. This is the message it gives:
"Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
That's all Greek to me, and I was ready to give up because I didn't know what else to do, but v2.6 of the plug-in worked, so thanks very much for making it available.
Do you have any ideas as to why it worked though? How do versions 2.6 & 2.8 of the plug-in differ?

The feature added for 2.7 was the reading of embedded cover art from APEv2 tags (see changelog). That was actually a significant change because it involved adding C++ code to the plugin for the first time (and I got much-needed help from Benski on the winamp team to do it). It seems like your problem must be related to that, but I would think that if you were missing any C++ dependency then winamp would not run either (I am no expert in this area).
But anyway, now that I know what the difference is I can investigate further (or maybe one of the winamp guys will know what's going on).
The important thing is that you're up and running; thanks very much for the help!
edit: adding this after I read your latest post...that "side-by-side configuration" seems to the problem, but I don't even know what that means so it will take me a little work to figure this out...but thanks again!

Sleep Meditation for Children
January 19, 2011
Getting me to bed was a long routine for my mother. She'd have me all tucked in and start to leave my room and then I'd say, "Mommy, I want some water". Off she'd go for water, and once I'd had that, she'd be on her way again. My next ploy for keeping her near was — "leave a crack in the door". She'd leave the door a little open and I'd say "bigger", and she'd open it a bit further and start to step away. "It's too big, make it smaller", I'd say. You can see where this is going! I'm not sure how she would finally make an exit, but I do remember what was going on inside me. I was anxious!
I haven't thought about this for years, not until I started recording this new podcast (Sleep Meditation for Children). I wanted to go back and remember and get into my child world. What would have helped me if I could have had a guided meditation back then? I tried to speak to the child that I was, and this new podcast offering is what resulted. It is designed to help a child settle into bed and relax into sleep. For children who are fearful at bedtime, there is an added element of a "make believe friend" to help them feel reassured.
Please listen to the meditation first and see if you feel it will be suitable for your child. It's for fairly young children. I'm sure you'll check to see if your child liked it after the first time they hear it, and see if he or she has a question about what something means. Like all guided meditations, this will work for some and not others. I do hope, though, that it will send lots of children off to sleepyland feeling relaxed, safe and loved.
I'd love to hear about your experiences with it here. And it's fine if you use it as an adult. We've all still got the child we were within us!

Mary I really love all of the meditations and was very excited to see the children's meditation added to the list. I am a mom of two (9 & 5) and find that it is hard to introduce meditation into their lives. I didn't really love the idea of a make believe bedtime friend, I think it was confusing for the children and sounded strange to me. To have your thoughts going to who that person should be or about, just started the mind thinking. I believe younger and older children can learn to fall asleep on their own if they quiet their thoughts in the same way we have to as adults. I would love to have a meditation similar to deep relaxation but done in language a child can understand. I am not an expert, just wanted to give some feedback. Looking forward to more for children.
Mary on
January 25th, 2011 9:37 am
Caryn, Thank you for this feedback. Actually, I added the make believe bedtime friend because some other mothers thought that would be good! Am wondering if your children actually listened to it and how they responded. I can certainly consider doing another meditation leaving out the make believe friend at some point in the future. It always takes time to get enough feedback on a meditation to know the overall response to it. Thanks so much for weighing in!

Hi Mary. I absolutely love your podcasts. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon them about 6 months ago and have been using your guided meditations ever since. Our daughter is 7, and I have been trying to introduce meditation to her. I tried a few different ones, and she really enjoyed them. When the sleep meditation for children was posted, I immediately tried it for her to use at night. She has the same 'many requests of anxiety' that you described. Now she asks for the meditation when she gets in bed. She really enjoys it. I think it is absolutely perfect for her. Thank you so much!

Thank you for providing this meditation. It came just in time, now that my son (11) is dealing with anxiety issues at bed time.
I provided him with iPod and head phones at night so he could listen to the episode. Although he sometimes says that it is boring or even spooky. He still listens to it. He has also listened to the Deep Rest meditation.
I think it is working well for him. When I later pick up the ipod and headphones he is fast asleep.

Mary, just wanted you to know that this 54 year old child loves this meditation. I discovered your podcasts in January while recuperating from a hysterectomy. Right after surgery, how do my toes feel was a much better question than how does my tummy feel! I'm almost back to normal now, and while I've branched out to your other meditations, I still listen to this one quite often. After all, the reminder to snuggle into bed is good for any age! Thanks.

I just wanted to thank you for ALL your meditations- they have literally changed my life.
I do have a quick suggestion/request, and perhaps it's already something you have to offer and I'm just not seeing it: every day I come to work and sit at my desk and it takes a long time to focus and get started. I don't have the time or to listen and go into to a longer meditation, but I always wish there was something fairly quick I could listen to in order to get centered, find my focus, trust in the process, and then dive in to the work at hand.
It's almost as if I'm afraid to start my day and my work, even though I deeply enjoy it. I have been thinking about how a "small" Meditation Oasis podcast on getting started, focusing, and centering might be perfect.
Thanks for reading this and for your consideration. Again, HUGE thanks for all the insights, comfort, calm, and joy your meditation podcasts have brought me. i have been a fan for years- I purchased a CD with several of your meditations of it years ago and was delighted to find your podcasts. What a treat!

You are very welcome, Chel. It's great to hear from someone who has used the meditations for a long time and gotten so much benefit! The Work Break Meditation is about 9 minutes, and our very first podcast meditation, Relaxation Break, is about seven minutes. If you want something really short, our Remember to Breathe app (on iPhone and Android) has some very brief breathing break meditations. They're just about a minute long and help you get started with breathing/centering. We will add your request to our list — how many minutes were you thinking?
Chel on
May 6th, 2011 3:29 pm
Mary- thank you so much for your response! I was thinking just a handful of minutes- maybe 3-5? Enough to calm and center, but not enough that I would decide "heck, I'm just going to let go and meditate for half an hour" 😉
I love the "Work Break" meditation. It's great for lunch and during afternoon tea breaks. I also meditate in the evening, when I have the time and focus to spend 15-30 minuted with your meditations. Last night I did the Chakra meditation.
I also have to thank you for the Source meditation- it has always brought about some very, very powerful experiences for me. What a wonderful meditation- thank you again for sharing all of these with us.

just found your site from the ipod podcasts..marvellous. I have been listening to them most of the day and they are really helpful so have put a link on my blog to here. I played this to 2 of my sons last night and they nodded off so it works and it calmed me down too!

Firstly want to say how much i love and appreciate your meditations. I played this sleep meditation to my 12 year old son the other day, as he was curious. He was really into it until the 'imaginary sleep friend' bit came in – then he absolutely cracked up laughing, and by the time he was supposed to 'cuddle his imaginary sleep friend' he was on the floor crying with laughter saying 'ooh thats disgusting' and went bright red embarrassed. The minds of pre-teens eh? Lol, I think he was imagining this girl he likes in his class..
Mary on

What a funny story, Mel! Yes, a preteen would hear the imaginary friend in a different way 😉

I am a huge fan. My favourite is your Opening the Heart meditation, which I play for my children almost every night. They had heard me listening to it before bed and begged to join in, and now they do it on their own and ask for after their story.
I also did that particular meditation a week before my mom passed away; she lives far away. The night I did the meditation, I visualized my mom as the person I made the heart connection with. The next day she called me. I was out so she left a lovely message on the answering machine saying that she had a very strong feeling about me the night before, at the same time I was doing the mediation, but didn't call as she was afraid she would wake me.
A week later she died before I could get home to see her, and I saved her message and play it often. Now that she is gone, I still do the meditation and think of her.
Thank you so very much.

This and some others (eg music) have a preamble that I wish were not present. I just want to park the laptop, click the link, and have the meditation (or music) play. My 'child' is old enough not to wish to be thought of as a child. The preamble, besides being distracting, in this case causes my child to think, 'I'm not a child. This is not for me.'

Thanks for this Mary, I will definitely try this with my 2 year old.
As a coincidence, I had started doing my evening meditation in his room as he settles down to sleep and that has been working wonders. This will be the next step for sure!
Mary on
June 11th, 2013 11:20 am
How perfect to meditate in your 2 year old's room as he's settling down to sleep! There's definitely an influence on others when we are meditating, and with your bond with your child, it's especially strong. Often children of meditating parents ask them to meditate when their parents are stressed

Mary, Our daughter, Lily-True slips off to sleep with your meditation every single night! Last night my mum was here and she told Grandma she needed her "Angel Lady" – every night!

What a beautiful meditation – thanks for sharing. My nine year old daughter loves it. I've been using meditations with her before bed for about 5 years now. I create my own, by incorporating her favourites places, foods, animals and people. I then try and include all the senses. If you'd like some help I have a free guide on http://www.spiritualityandparenting.com

March 10th, 2014 8:36 pm
Thank you! You've just helped my family immensely. 1st night it took 5 plays for my Ava to go to sleep, the second night 3 plays and tonight she didn't even make it through 1 play before I heard the sweet sound of her snoring! I only wish it were longer! We have been miserable each night with our daughter who has sensory issues, anger and anxiety. She is 5 and loves your pod cast. I've never seen her relaxed and quiet at bedtime. She used to toss n turn, scream, kick, jump on the bed, if she wasn't agitated she would still talk and talk and talk or I'd need to sing a million lallabys only to have her fall asleep at 10. Now if only we could get my 7 month old to sleep!
Mary on
March 11th, 2014 4:34 pm
Rachel, how wonderful to hear your Ava is relaxing and falling asleep — and helping your family!. I wonder if the music from the podcast (the Music for Meditation episode) would be calming for your 7 month old — worth a try! Thank you so much for letting us know — this warms our hearts. And, you are so very welcome.
Kimberly on
April 22nd, 2014 8:26 pm
Thank you so much for this gentle meditation. My 5 year old daughter loves it, and tells everyone about her imaginary sleep friend and how he keeps her safe all night. She was having trouble falling asleep lately as she worried about monsters etc, this has worked wonders and has helped us to have much more pleasant days as she is well rested and centered. Thank you! I use your other meditations and love them as well.
Mary on

Wondering if you ever did record a version without the imaginary friend part??
I really would love to use this for my 2 year old daughter but that part really doesn't work for us and I saw in the much earlier comments that someone else commented on that and you mentioned possibly recording an alternate version.
If so, I'd love to access it!
Thank you for this gift!
Mary on
May 26th, 2014 9:58 am
Emily, unfortunately I haven't been able to record an alternate version. We do plan on making a special app of children's meditations in the future, and can include another version with that, but that may be sometime off.
Michele on
June 3rd, 2014 5:36 pm
Mary, do ou have other meditation for children? Fr the first few weeks this worked great for my 8 yr old but now She is getting use to it without the same effect of sleeping quickly.
I have the other apps and use several when I can not sleep but can not find one suitable for her beside this one.
Mary on
June 4th, 2014 9:05 am
Michele, we don't have any other meditations specifically for children, although it seems there are some of our other podcast meditations that work for some children. If you listen to our podcast meditations, you might find something suitable.
We do plan on making an app of children's meditations in the future. That will be announced on our website and our Facebook and Twitter pages when it happens.

July 28th, 2014 8:45 pm
Hi Mary, I just wanted to tell you that we LOVE this meditation in our home. I have a highly sensitive child who did all those stalling tactics you mentioned in your blog post. Once we started using this (she's 7) she has been looking forward to bedtime! The imaginary friend, is actually her favorite stuffed animal– we just told her she could use an actual stuffed animal. Worked fine for her.
Her favorite part is when you suggest wiggling to get comfortable in the sheets. We can clearly see her relax in a very genuine way once she is settled.
Thank you!!
Mary on
July 29th, 2014 8:43 am
Marie, your are very welcome, and thank YOU for taking the time to comment and letting us know about your 7 year old daughter. It's very fulfilling to hear that bedtime has become a relaxing, good experience for her. I love that her imaginary friend is her stuffed animal. That's perfect!

Ummmm. You have done what we have been trying to do for years. Calm our daughter down for sleep with no fuss. We've tried everything. I stumbled upon this tonight in desperation. She listened to the whole track once, then I repeated it. 2 minutes later she was asleep. Thank you! This kid is very hard to wind down but she does love yoga. Other meditation stories for kids worked a bit, however you actually sent her to sleep. I'm so thrilled. Thank you.

Tonight you helped my 7 year old daughter settle and sleep which may sound simple but she finds it so hard to sleep and tonight she was particularly distressed so thank you. Blessings and love for being a part of our family from afar. X

do you recommend that they listen to it in bed or siting up in a particular position? Sleep has been a struggle with my 9 year old so we are trying everything.
Thank you.

February 19th, 2015 3:42 pm
Hello Anoush, I would recommend your child listen to it lying down in bed at bedtime. Please let us know how it goes, and if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for sharing this children's meditation. My 6 year old has terrible sleep anxieties, she will not sleep without me sitting by her every night, the whole getting to sleep process can take up to two hours a night, I am a very frazzled mum who has tried everything you can possibly imagine. I sit by her bed most nights searching the Internet for suggestions, tonight I came across your recording which I have just played to her and she was asleep in seven minutes. She spoke to me a couple of times about her guardian angel and then was fast asleep. You voice is soothing and calming and I will be trying again tomorrow night to see if she reacts the same way. Thank you again for sharing. I am a happy mum tonight x
Mary on
April 27th, 2015 9:38 am
Lisa, I am so happy to hear this, for both your sake and your daughter's! I hope she continues to respond so well. Please keep me posted on how it goes.

My marathon is Nov. 13, a date I picked because I don't run well in the heat. November in Richmond gives me at least a decent chance of having favorable marathon temperatures.
What I didn't take into account, and what I forgot from doing this same marathon last year, is that this date is bad for one chief reason–there are too many stinkin' sweets between now and then to tempt me! Let's see, first there's this little thing called Halloween. Then there are the Girl Scout cookies being delivered this week. Oh, and next week? Both my birthday and my daughter's.
Yeah, just a bit of temptation. When I'm not running as many miles. My usual strategy with sweets and things that tempt me is to simply keep them out of the house. With that in mind, here's my plan of attack with all the sweets:
- My husband bought some candy corn the other day–he has hidden it from me.
- I'm not buying Halloween candy until the last minute, even if it means the selection is terrible and we are the most unpopular house on the block because we have to hand out bags of pretzels or some such.
- The Girl Scout cookies? Going to my husband's office or the local shelter.
- The birthday cake will be transported to my parent's house when we visit and will stay there.
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, no?

MOORE, Okla. (AP) - As many as 34,000 students and workers in the Moore school district soon will have access to helmets to protect them during severe weather.
Moore Helmets for Schools, a group of volunteers headed by the mother of a Briarwood Elementary School student who survived the deadly May 20 tornado, has raised $250,000 to pay for skating helmets and storage bins.
Group members are set to deliver helmets and bins to four schools Saturday morning.
The Oklahoman reports (http://bit.ly/1cy6BLH ) the helmets, which cost less than $7 each, are being paid for by private and public donations, including more than $100,000 each from the United Way and the American Red Cross.
Moore Superintendent Robert Romines says the helmets will provide "one more layer of protection for our students and faculty."

Posted by Tom Fornelli
Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino was the first SEC coach to be subjected to the throngs of reporters at the SEC Media Days on Wednesday in Birmingham, and here are a couple highlights of his session.
On why he's had so much success with quarterbacks wherever he's been - "I think when you look at our success in coaching quarterbacks, one thing I really believe in is it's our job to find out what they do well and then ask them to do that.
It's our coaches' job, my job, to find out what our quarterback does best. Let's take this nice, fancy playbook we have, set it to the side, and develop the offense around the quarterback and give him a chance to be successful. I think the other thing that helps a lot is when you get the other ten guys to play real well around him."
On Tyler Wilson's performance in spring practice this year - "Tyler and Brandon [Mitchell] were the two guys taking reps with the ones. I really believe that those reps, they really tried to take advantage of them. I think Tyler also really understood that 'I just need to settle down, relax, and play the game the way I know how to play the game.' Not try to be Ryan Mallett. In [spring 2010 when Mallett was injured] at times he tried to do things that were out of his element and I thought this spring that was something he really understood 'Hey this is what I do well, this is what I have to work on, and I'm going to continue to do what I know how to do to move the ball.'"
On how Arkansas having so much depth at RB and WR helps the quarterback - "I think it'll really help our new QB, Tyler or Brandon, whoever it is. The fact that I have to distribute the ball according to what the defense is doing. There's been years when you're on offense and you know who your number one receiver is, your number two receiver is and sometimes, particularly when you're inexperienced, you try to force the ball into that guy. Our quarterbacks understand that we're very talented. I have to read the defense, understand what's going on and distribute the ball. Get it to my players and let them make plays for me. I think that's something we will rely on, and it'll really help us if you can turn around and hand it to Knile [Davis] 20 to 25 times a game and get to the proper third downs. That's what really helps there."
On Knile Davis and what he means to the team - "I think the first thing you look at when you look at Knile Davis is you look at his work ethic. Here's a young man that, in the weight room, has continued to get stronger and faster. In fact, he just did a great job in the weight room this past week.
"He's a young man that, in the winter, when we had our testing days, he went in there with every group. He didn't have to, but he was in there cheering them on, spotting guys. The offensive line came in after the running backs, he stayed and spent time with the offensive lineman. So it's become extremely important for him to show how much he cares, and how much he encourages his teammates.
"As far as his ability to run the football, you can see he can run with power, speed and has very, very good vision. I'm excited to see him take a step forward and make improvements in what he did from a year ago. He understands what he needs to do to do that."
On Arkansas' defensive line and how important defensive line play is in the SEC - "I'm excited for our defense this year because I really feel like it's the first time where we're physically where we need to be on the defensive front. Our guys will be big and physical and athletic. We've got speed on the edges which matches what we see every week in the conference.
"I've always believed since I was in the conference as an assistant and then coached in another conference as a head coach that the thing that separated the SEC from everybody else in America was the defensive front. The speed and athleticism on the edges and the athleticism and size on the inside. I found out when I came back into the league as a head coach that that was true."
On playing in a division as tough as the SEC West - "It's tough, you're going against guys that are very, very good players. Tremendous coaching staffs. That's what makes it hard is everybody is going to be well-prepared, understands how you play the game and has the talent to win the game. I think it's real important for us that we're disciplined, we understand how to play on the road and how to find a way to win in the fourth quarter."
On the high expectations at Arkansas - "I'm not afraid of high expectations. I'm excited with the fact that two years in a row now we have very high expectations....It's fun to approach the year that way."
On Ryan Mallett sharing Arkansas' hand signals with Jon Gruden in an ESPN special - "Yeah, they're changed. We already changed them. I wasn't real happy with him, by the way, when I was informed that he did that. He called me up and apologized, but he gave us a few ideas for some new hand signals, so that always helps."
On whether he considers 2010 to be an 11-win season rather than a 10-win season after Ohio State had to vacate the Sugar Bowl - "It's a ten-win season, we were 10-3. We had every chance in the world to win that game but were beat on the field."

As of Friday, April 5, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Try as they might, the wily defending champions just couldn't keep their feet on the gas Friday night, falling to the previously winless Knoxville Nighthawks, 31-28.
As Panthers coach Lucious Davis foreshadowed a couple of days ago, you couldn't expect the winless Knoxville Nighthawks to just lie down for the defending champs.
Although their 0-4 record didn't seem like much, they only suffered one particularly bad loss, a 30-point shellacking at the hands of the Columbus Lions.
While they ranked towards the bottom of the league in most statistical categories, they boasted the PIFL's top-ranked pass defense.
Davis remarked earlier that losing to Knoxville was always a possibility if they took them lightly. In that case, on their heels, down 28-21 early in the third quarter, with the home team knocking on their doorstep yet again, the Panthers shouldn't have felt too bad about their chances.
They've survived so many close calls this year, who wouldn't believe they had any tricks left in their bag?
Another well-rounded effort on both sides of the ball kept the Panthers in the game late, despite every break the Nighthawks seemed to catch. With the home team driving early in the third quarter after taking a 27-21 lead into the locker room at halftime, Anton Ceasar's interception off a tipped pass at the 10-yard line looked to be the big break that's come every week so far.
However, after another fruitless drive deep into Nighthawk territory ended with a failed 4th-down conversion, the next one with a fumble by John Harris, and the next with a blocked field goal, every big play the defense made to keep the Panthers in the game mattered even less. Usually-reliable Ryan Gates missed three field goal attempts and had one blocked, and once Nighthawks defensive back Gini Ibe intercepted a Cecil Lester pass with just over three minutes left in regulation, it seemed that the Panthers had run out of mulligans.
The Panthers' scoring efforts came from unlikely sources on Friday. Derrick Wimbush scored on a one-yard sneak in the first quarter and later on a 27-yard reception in the second. Aaron Wheeler scored on an eight-yard reception out of the backfield in the second quarter. A late touchdown on a sneak by Lester with the game out of reach made the score seem much closer. The telling statistic of the game, however, is that the Nighthawks secondary lived up to its hype on paper, keeping the Panthers' receiving trio out of the endzone all game.
Knoxville's Daccus Turman scored on a one-yard run in the first quarter, while quarterback Randy Hippeard scored on a sneak from the same distance. Ryan Schuck scored the touchdown in the second quarter that would put the Nighthawks ahead for good.
The Panthers will try to get the bad taste of defeat out of their mouths next week in Huntsville, Ala., where they'll face the 2-1 Alabama Hammers for the second time this season.

I purchased a used Viking Huskystar E20 today and the machine is in great shape.
After making a few stitches in a scrap of fabric, the needle began to bump into the presser foot.
I can't find any adjustment for this listed in the manual.
The zig zag foot is missing and I realized I had switched it to zig zag and tried to switch it back and that is when it started giving trouble.
Any thoughts or suggestions would help! Thank you so much! Amy
I would try turning the Pattern Selection dial on the side of the machine, to "A" for straight stitch. Then turn the Stitch Width dial (on the top of the machine) to "5" and just turn the fly wheel only careful by hand and see if that hopefully put your needle position all the way on the left and let the needle just do straight stitch only, through the little round hole in your straight stitch presser foot, no metal hitting metal at all, and just let you only stitch like that, as you are missing the zig zag foot. If it does not, and the straight stitch foot is fastened on there right, then maybe something got unadjusted or bent up when the needle slammed into the foot on that zig zag setting.
Change the needle, it most likely bent the first time it hit the presser foot and now is no good.
