Even with my hair in a pony tail, a lot of baby hair/overgrown bangs sticks to my face once I starts sweating, and I have to keep pushing them to the side and off ( and they keep moving back onto my face).And recommendations for keeping hair out of my way during a run?
Wear a visor. They also keep the sun and rain off your face and soak up sweat.
i love bondi bands. they are perfect for the flyaways.
Bondibands are good, but I have worn mine so much that they stretched out. I can't keep them on my head anymore. Now I only buy Chicabands or Sweaty Bands.

I wear doo rags. It's kind of my thing. No hair in the face ever. And it holds in sweat as well as warmth

Winter racing series:
I wear BicBands or Sweatybands (same thing basically), they work great! And as a bonus, they're cute and I just leave the headband in at work in the afternoon
Blog: http://terryruns.wordpress.com5k - 22:56 (2011) (unofficial 21:37 - 2014) 10k - 45:24 (2014) HM - 1:43:37 (2015) FM - 3:42:54 (2014)
I like the Urban Halo headbands. They are like Bondi Bands (same material) but sewn slightly differently. The sweat wicking is a plus. They suggest hand washing and air drying but I just toss them in the washer and dryer. The thinner headbands don't work as well for me. Everything slides right off my hair, so I use bobby pins on my headbands.
I like the BicBands/SweatyBands (CARunningGirl is right, they're pretty much identical, but the BicBands are a little bit less expensive). I have super silky fine hair, and an oddly small head, so I was skeptical that these would actually stay on me. They do. I now have 4, from the super thin to the wider, they all work. My new favorite is one that has a strip of 3M reflector on it. Great for dusk.
For winter, I HATE hats, but I like the ear-covering headbands. I have the Run With Me from Lululemon and I like it a lot. It keeps the hairs under control, and also does a nice job of absorbing sweat. I really would like to try out the Reflective Run headband from Athleta. I do a lot of dark running in the winter, so I'm always a fan of any extra reflection.
Thank you all for suggestions. I've heard good things about sweatybands from a coworker but since it are kind of pricy for a headband, i didn't get any yet.
Since so many people are saying good things about it, i am going to try it out.
I wear one that Brooks makes, its the brooks double headband. I have a smaller head and this headband fits great, it adjusts in the back so it really stays put. I liked the first one I bought so much that I ordered a second. They also look nice for casual wear. If you order one from runningwarehouse you get free 2 day shipping.

I second (or third!) BicBands. They stay put pretty well.
I like Punkeelove headbands. They're awesome because they are adjustable, which is perfect because I have a weirdly shaped head or something and most regular headbands just don't fit right.
I use a Buff and I am completely in love with that thing. For $20 you get a lot out of a simple tube of fabric. I have a lot of very fine curly hair. And my hair has an attitude. Most headbands slip off of my head within 3-5 minutes. Even if I get one to stay with bobbi pins and slip-proof clips, I have little wisps of hair that mutiny and try to make friends with my eyeballs. Not cool.
I never intended to use my Buff as a headband. I wanted something to function as a scarf or balaclava once the weather got cold. The first time I wore it, it was cold when I left the house for a long run, but it ended up getting hot and sweaty halfway through. So, the Buff started as a scarf and I just pulled it up to my forehead once I needed a headband. It dries fast, and there are at least a dozen different ways you can wear it.
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." - Ghandi
I love the plain thin bands made by sunci, and they can be found at Target or Walmart. Once I start sweating, they don't slip at all.

Sweaty bands are great. They are the only headbands that actually stay on my head while running and hold all of my hair back.

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
Licensing Confusion
An interesting little licensing escapade occurred recently. Matthew Garrett noticed that CloudLinux corporation had released their lve kernel driver under a new, proprietary license, whereas before, it had been released under the GPL. Technically, nothing too fishy is going on here because the original author of GPL'd code is still free to release that code under other licenses. But Matthew noticed that, in this particular case, the driver still pretended to the kernel to be a GPL'd driver and still used kernel symbols that were restricted to GPL-only code.

A Stunning 'Good Wife' Death: Why Did [SPOILER] Get Killed Off?
Warning: Major spoilers ahead.
Plot twist? What happened on "The Good Wife" this week was so shocking, we need a new term for it.
The CBS series left viewers stunned after killing off one of its lead characters, Will Gardner (played by Josh Charles). The jaw-dropping turn of events happened as Will was defending a young client on trial for murder. The nervous, fragile client lost it, grabbed a bailiff's gun, and fired several shots in the courtroom. One of those shots hit Will in the neck — and he died.
There was absolutely no hint that Charles, an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated original cast member and the show's male lead, was departing (good job on locking down those spoilers, Michelle and Robert King). But, according to a letter written by the Kings (the show's creators) to fans, the actor first approached the showrunners last year about leaving at the end of Season 4.
[Related: CBS Renews 'The Good Wife,' 'NCIS,' 'Two and a Half Men,' and 15 Others]
Julianna Margulies, his co-star and a "Good Wife" producer, persuaded Charles to stay on for part of Season 5 so the writers could plan his exit. The staff considered keeping Will alive but sending him away, much like "ER" did with Margulies's love interest, Dr. Ross (played by George Clooney). Instead, they ended up going big.
And ratings were big, too: Sunday's "Good Wife" earned the series its best ratings in the key 18-49 demo since January, despite being delayed on the East Coast by the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
The Kings even took the unusual step of penning a letter to fans explaining the shocking development (which you can read below):
@MrJoshCharles Every moment has been a pleasure. We'll more than miss you. With all our gratitude, Michelle & Robert #thegoodwife— Good Wife Writers (@GoodWifeWriters)
March 24, 2014
@GoodWifeWriters The pleasure has been all mine. I've learned so much working with both of you & I'm in awe of your talent & storytelling.— Josh Charles (@MrJoshCharles)
March 24, 2014
Will's death set Twitter aflame (#TheGoodWife trended all evening) as traumatized fans expressed their sadness, disappointment, outrage, and concern for what might happen next on the show:

Tomorrow is National Peanut Cluster Day. Yes, there's a food holiday for everything! But don't scoff … these holidays can be great justification for indulging in a particular treat that's been calling your name. Or remembering a special treat that will perk everyone in the house up a bit! I've always loved Chocolate-Covered Peanut Clusters. I'm being a redundant here as I don't know of any peanut clusters that are not chocolate covered (thinks like peanut brittle don't count), but the chocolate part is really important, right? Yeah, I thought so, too!
Did you know that these treats can be made in your slow cooker? The beauty of making candy in your crockpot is that it's almost foolproof. No candy thermometer is needed. Stephanie (A Year of Slow Cooking) describes her wonderful Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters: "The chocolate flavor is quite rich, and tastes dark. If you aren't a fan of dark chocolate, use milk chocolate chips. The salt flavor from the nuts is subtle, but is there, and it makes your tongue itch for more. And more."
Get Stephanie's Chocolate Peanut Clusters recipe over at A Year of Slow Cooking. Check out all her terrific slow cooker cookbooks and her Totally Together: Shortcuts to an Organized Life book as well, but be sure to take a look at her newest books: 365 Slow Cooker Suppers and 5 Ingredients or Less Slow Cooker Cookbook.

The Saucy Sisters, Barbara Wichman Nowak and Beverly Wichman Pittman, are siblings, best friends and wine experts with a down-to-earth sensibility. In their books and in person they bring their sense of humor - as well as their passion - to the subject of wine. More than one reviewer has called them "GrapeNuts"!
Barbara and Beverly grew up in Northern New Jersey (Morristown, Parsippany, Mountain Lakes) with parents who loved to laugh, listen to music, and eat and drink well. That meant the girls had early exposure to such things as weeding the vegetable garden (which Barbara hated), opera recordings (which Beverly adored) and wine (which they both took to immediately).
Perhaps it was inevitable that, after separate careers (Beverly in a top-secret job at the CIA and as a Human Resources Professional and Barbara as a writer and Public Relations Manager), the sisters would come together to collaborate on food and drink-related projects.
Their first collaboration turned out to be a radio show, Sauced!, which they hosted and produced for ten years. They interviewed thousands of guests from the food and beverage world and even incorporated food and drinking songs submitted by independent song writers (many of whom came from the girls' adopted hometown of Nashville).
Writing accompanied their radio career. Following on Barbara's cooking reference book, Cook It Right, the sisters wrote restaurant guides, magazine articles, newspaper columns and, of course, blogs. The Saucy Sisters Guide to Wine - What Every Girl Should Know Before She Unscrews is their third book on wine.

Yes it's sad, as any end of any era always is! But look at the publishing industry; everybody is publishing themselves, and all the real editors have been laid off a while ago. All one can do is uphold a certain standard of quality and hope that someone will notice.
As long as people like Richard Thompson draw cartoons, I have hope.

SAN ANTONIO ZEITUNG. The San Antonio Zeitung, a "Social-Democratic Newspaper for the Germans in West Texas," began weekly publication as San Antonio's first German-language newspaper on July 1, 1853, under the editorship of C. D. Adolph Douai, a German-born scholar, teacher, and social reformer. The newspaper, written largely in German, was aimed at the large German population in San Antonio and the surrounding region. In a prospectus Douai announced that the Zeitung would regard every political question from the viewpoint of social progress. He published the free-soil platform adopted by the Texas State Convention of Germans in 1854 and in a series of editorials attacked the institution of slavery as an evil incompatible with democratic government, a form of government that required "free tillers of their own soil." Despite the fact that the Zeitung was primarily a German-language paper, it regularly published antislavery articles in English, so that, in August Siemering's words, "the attention of the Americans was soon drawn to it." The paper's abolitionist stance quickly elicited a storm of controversy and became a target of the proslavery American (Know-Nothing) party. Sentiment was so hostile that members of the local Turnverein (see TURNVEREIN MOVEMENT) volunteered to protect the newspaper offices from proslavery mobs. Douai retaliated in print, attacking the Know-Nothings in editorials with such titles as "How to Put Down a Know-Nothing." The stockholders of the Zeitung, sharply divided over the slavery issue, decided to sell the paper. Douai, however, was determined to continue publishing the paper and with the aid of a number of northern abolitionists, including Frederick Law Olmsted, purchased it in late 1854. But many merchants, fearful of being associated with the abolitionists, withdrew their advertisements from the paper, and several German communities passed resolutions publicly condemning it. Douai continued doggedly and in the February 9, 1855, issue of the Zeitung went so far as to declare that western Texas must be free. In May 1856, with ill-feeling mounting and revenues on the decline, he was forced to sell the paper. It was purchased by a member of the opposition, Gustav Schleicher, who took over the publication and renamed it the San Antonio Staats-Zeitung. Douai left Texas that year and settled in Boston, where he continued his educational and political work.

Andrew Swrote a review of POC Trabec Helmet on April 11, 2015
Best Helmet I've had
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is best fitting helmet I've had. I tried a few different brands and was always fidgeting with the adjustments every time I wore it. With the Trabec I set it and forget it. It ventilates well enough for me and looks nice too. I've had mine for a few years and luckily it's never taken any hard hits but if I needed to replace it I would get another.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & brotherhood of lan & goodroi
Google is not a publically funded library, it is a publically held for profit corporation whose media product is the serps, which are in turn generated from the data you refered to. Think of it this way: The New York Times does not own the news it reports on, but it is nevertheless able to report on that news.
It's much more useful to think of Google as a media company than as a library in terms of its rights and supposed obligations. A public library has obligations to serve the public, that's what it's for. A for profit media corporation has an obligation to return a profit to its investors. In google's case, that means keeping income high enough to return such a profit, and they keep that income high enough by ensuring that for the average user, the serps are what those users were more or less looking for. Fewer users equal a drop in revenue.
When google does an update they are always taking a chance of losing users. However, historically, their position has remained remarkably stable, update after update. WebmasterWorld members have suggested hundreds, if not thousands, of times, that Google would lose users and fail, and this has not happened. So let's make the obvious conclusion: google knows its target market better than WebmasterWorld members. That's why all these posts about google failing are so pointless, how many times can we be wrong before we finally realize we are wrong?
Having gotten to that point, maybe we can start working on doing the analysis that webfusion mentioned earlier
[edited by: 2by4 at 9:23 pm (utc) on Nov. 10, 2005]
>"Our site receives over 4000 NON-SEARCH ENGINE free visitors per day, from articles, press releases, inbound links, etc. etc. All that traffic converts as well, if not better, than search engine traffic." <
I dare say everything mentioned in the above is right smack in the middle of Google so a divestiture of dependence on Google is not firmly established to me. The intent of the message is good but the plain fact is you and I wouldn�t be in these forums if we had cut the ties that bind. Google wouldn't even be crossing our minds.
Webmasters constitute a large percentage of buyers. They are the established and proven purchasers on the Internet not these mythical �users� I hear Google should devote so much time to. When webmasters are happy they�re spending time buying (from me) and they aren�t in these forums endlessly watching Google tinker and paw with their incomes.
Anyone else see a recovery of most but not all of a domain hit Sept22? Even if you think you recovered from Sept22, if you have a domain under 1000 pages, how do the last pages listed at the bottom of a allinurl:example.com site:example.com search rank?
In both cases, simply checking backlink counts shows the real source of the ranking, over 7000 in each case.
As is usually the case when I check on a site like this, the seo is all over the place, so people assume the stuff like keyword spamming is the cause of the ranking, when it almost never is. You're much better off ranking for high end keyword phrases having a small amount of relevant text than a huge mountain of every combination. That's what I find anyway.
This backlink inflation is what I always find for seoed sites beating ours. Not the true authority .gov, .edu stuff, but the commercial stuff.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the absolute highest priority for google currently is figuring out a way to start easing these sites out of the serps, one by one. But not as a block, I think it's going to happen slowly.
The main problem of course is learning how to tell the difference between a scraper/directory type backlink and a true contextual backlink. Not as easy as it sounds, that's my guess for the request for more and more spam reports.
Anyone else see a recovery of most but not all of a domain hit Sept22?
This is exactly what I am seeing. Most of my sites have recovered to about July serp levels, but some of the older ranks I had on page are gone. A search using the method you described shows many of these pages are either listed as supps or have no Title and snippet...
Dayo - I can completely understand your issue as it is happening to two of my own sites. However, I do see that the non--www version of both sites has not been cached since late October, and the www has todays cache dates. Let us only hope that this helps...as I do have 301 redirects in place...
My recent posts regarding the appearance of onerailway when searching for 'norwich web designers'. I have now found there pr7 site listed under unrelated subjects as 'Engineering work' - 291 million + & 'world record attempt' 41 million +.
These phrases are obviously nothing to do with their core business and yet the phrases are mentioned textually on their front page.
I leave it to you experts to analyse.
If I search for 'blue widgets' my site is returned in the top 2 positions, say /littlebluewidgets.html and /bigbluewidgets.html. While the main blue widgets page /bluewidgets.html is nowhere to be found.
Then, I search 'site:mysite blue widgets', and #1 result is /bluewidgets.html, followed by /littlebluewidgets.html and /bigbluewidgets.html.
Does this make any sense?
This is across all datacenters, including jagger3.

When Back to School Supplies are an Issue
Every year when the kids come back to school it is important to be sure everyone has enough back to school supplies to get them through. Teachers know their salaries just aren't always high enough to buy pencils and other things children need for the school year and the school doesn't always provide the funding. This means teachers have to rely on parents to provide their children with adequate supplies for the classroom. Here are several ideas that might make this easier, especially when some parents just cannot afford to provide enough of everything.
Supply Lists
The best thing that you can do as a teacher is make a list of everything that your students will need throughout the year. This should include glue, crayons, markers, chalk, pencils, notebook paper, notebooks, folders, tissues, scissors, erasers and any other supplies you plan to use during the school year. You then want to make a separate list for the parents indicating which of the items you already have and which ones you need the most. If, for example, you go through more crayons and notebook paper than glue or chalk, explain this in the list. This list should be available at the front office before school starts for those parents who are prepared for school to start. You will also hand it out to children the first day of school.
After the first week of school, you will have a good idea of which supplies are adequate and which you will need to replenish. You then should create a second list, asking parents if they can help provide the items that you are low on.
Not All Parents Can Afford Supplies
One thing to remember is that not all parents can afford school supplies. Some parents have several children in school and they have to provide new school clothes and shoes for each of them. The cost of school supplies may be just too much to handle at the same time. You should understand this. When supplies come in from students it is best to put them all together in a community supply area in the classroom. This way no student will feel like an outcast because their parents couldn't afford to purchase the necessary items. In most cases, there are always at least a few parents that will go overboard with the supplies for their children and the classroom, which will help make up for those that cannot afford to buy their own supplies.
When Supplies Run Low
As a teacher you should never be afraid to ask the parents for help with providing supplies for your students. As months go by, the school supplies that the parents purchased in the autumn will start to diminish. Monitor your supplies so you aren't asking students to use things you may not have on hand. Send out a note to the parents explaining that you are running low on specific supplies and you need their help to provide more for the class. In some cases, those parents who couldn't afford to buy them at the beginning of the year are finally in a position to get what you need. It usually works out just fine.
Back to School Supplies must be at least partially provided by the parents and this can be a difficult task if you aren't sure how to encourage them to help. The best thing to do is make a list of the things that your classroom will need for each of the parents. Stress on specific items that you use the most throughout the year. Never be afraid to ask the parents because most want to help in any way that they can.

The two of them created the Two of Us Productions so they could perform together. Stephen Sanborn is a director and musician, and his wife, Constance Lopez, is an actress and choreographer. Married in 1997, the couple formed their Columbia County-based theater company in 2000: "I was constantly performing, and Stephen was always performing, so we thought if we put on our own shows, we could perform together," says Lopez. This weekend, they will again be sharing a theater for the musical A Tale of Two Cities, based on the Charles Dickens classic. Sanborn is the show's director-conductor, and Lopez is playing the bloodthirsty Madam DeFarge.
"It's incredibly well written, the music and the lyrics," enthuses Lopez. "And for timing, we couldn't have picked a better show. It's about a people who feel their country is not their own, that a small percentage have all the resources and control everything. . . . It has expressive statements to make. I was moved to tears when I read the script."
"We love literary stories where the music carries it along," says Sanborn. An RPI graduate, Sanborn is also involved with the company's lighting and sound, which he tailors to serve the storytelling. An important part of the Two of Us mission is the use of full orchestras. For Tale, a 22-piece ensemble will fulfill the songbook's pop-opera romanticism.
Set on the streets of London and Paris during the French Revolution, Dickens' tale of "Injustice, vengeance, and the redemptive power of love" is centered on one of the most famous doomed love triangles in English literature. Ken Kasch plays the wastrel Sydney Carton and Jeffrey Jene plays noble Charles Darnay, two men whose destinies are entwined. Tara Young plays Lucie Manette, the girl they both love, honor, and protect. Michael Rivenburg designed the sets, which range from a châteaux to the Bastille, and include ocean crossings, a mob scene, and the ever-present threat of "la guillotine."
Asked what attracted her to the role of the pitiless revolutionary, Madame DeFarge, Lopez explains: "She is strong but conflicted, and I thought it would be interesting to see where she goes with it when she is pushed to the edge. She's passionate in her beliefs but it burns her up."
Sanborn and Lopez consider themselves lucky to have experienced the musical during its 2008 Broadway run, going to see it on a whim, "because I love Dickens," says Lopez. They were both impressed and moved by show, which closed after a mere two months—a victim of the Wall Street financial meltdown.
When the rights became available, Two of Us jumped at the chance, and their production in Hudson will be the musical's regional debut. The show's writer and composer, Jill Santoriello, will be in attendance for the Saturday, Oct. 6, performance, and earlier on Saturday, at 3 PM, she will participate in a talkback with the public at 209 Warren St. as part of Hudson's ArtsWalk weekend. The show's two-weekend run will feature the debut of an original overture composed by percussionist Dan Galliher that was personally approved by Santoriello.
Pictured are Lopez and Frank Leavitt as the DeFarges, aka the original occupiers.
A Tale of Two Cities will be performed at the Hudson High School Auditorium (215 Harry Howard Ave., Hudson) tomorrow (Friday) through Sunday (Oct. 5-7) and Oct. 12-14; shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, and Sundays at 3 PM. Tickets are $18, $14 students and seniors. Visit twoofusproductions.org or call 758-1648 for more info.

Sant'Egidio Hails New Jersey Death Penalty Vote
| 2552 hits
The community lauded the New Jersey Assembly's 44-36 vote today proposing to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment without parole. The vote followed on the heels of a similar decision from the state's Senate on Monday. Governor Jon Corzine is expected to sign the bill in the next few days, making New Jersey the first state legislature to abolish the death penalty in more than 40 years.
"This historic vote in New Jersey is the clearest signal yet that the American public is moving away from capital punishment," a statement from the Sant'Egidio Community said.
Mario Marazziti, spokesman of the community, called the vote "a crucial step that coincides with an international drive in the U.N. General Assembly for a worldwide moratorium on the death penalty. It sets a new standard of decency in the justice system, a system that must always protect and respect life under all circumstances."

Title: Bleach
Genres: Shonen, Action, Comedy
Author: Kubo Tite
Artist: Kubo Tite and assistants(?)
Publication: Weekly Shonen Jump
Start Date: August 2001
End Date: Ongoing
Number of chapters at review: 305
Number of chapters read by reviewer: 305
General Overview: Bleach is the story of Ichigo Kurosaki, your average 15 year old kid, only he's not so average. One night, a female shinigami named Kuchiki Rukia invades Ichigo's life, when he takes her shinigami powers from her to save her life. The story revolves around Ichigo's struggle against the Hollow world and putting his newly found shinigami powers to the test.
Category Ratings: (1-10 scale)
Art: 8
Kubo's art is awesome. While bland, barren white backgrounds plague his manga, his character designs are part of the Bleach craze. Every character has a unique ability, allowing Kubo to further his awesome character design. And everyone loves his stylish color spreads. Right out of a fashion magazine!
Plot: 7
Kubo's plot is sort of a downside to his manga. Both of his major arcs have been rescue arcs, and they're pretty similar to each other. Fight a group of baddies, and save the girl. The plot also progresses at an odd pace, stretching fights like the Syazel Apollo fight over many chapters, instead of showing it in about 7 consecutive chapters.
Characters: 9
Kubo's strong point. Why do I read Bleach? To see my favorite characters do stuff. The manga is filled with awesome, manly badasses. While most characters are generic looking, there's a certain charm to them. And when your favorite character pops up, you're hooked to the manga for the next 3-5 chapters.
Of course, I'd give it a 10, but the main characters all suck. Except for Chad.
Themes: 7
Lot's of friendship themes in here. Ichigo constantly tries to prove that he's strong enough to protect his friends, and kind of shows in a corny way, like gaining random power ups cause your friend tells you to get up.
Originality: 6
Bleach isn't really original. Sure the zanpakuto concept is pretty good, but we've all seen guys with big swords, spiky hair and bulging muscles. Oh, and guys who control ice. There's something new.
One thing that is pretty original is his use of Spanish, which really contributes to Bleach's charm.
Overall: 8
Bleach isn't the best shonen out there (One Piece and HxH hold my heart.) but it's a good series. I rather enjoy watching the anime more than reading the manga, but I still enjoy Kubo's work. And there's still so many things left to look forward to, that Bleach still has a lot of steam left in it. Keep it going Kubo.
Spoiler: Manga's images taken from earlier chapters to avoid spoiler, generally the art improves show

The Sierra Pelona Mountains,[3] or the Sierra Pelona Ridge, is a mountain range in the Transverse Ranges of Southern California.[4] They are located within Los Angeles (northwest) and Kern (southern) Counties.
The Sierra Pelona Mountains lie northwest of the San Gabriel Mountains. They are flanked on the south by the Santa Clarita Valley and on the north by the Antelope Valley. The San Andreas Fault runs to their north. Within the Sierra Pelonas can be found the rural areas of Three Points, Lake Hughes, Elizabeth Lake and Green Valley, as well as Liebre Mountain, Burnt Peak, Sawmill Mountain, Grass Mountain and Mount McDill.
The Tejon Pass separates the Sierra Pelonas, the San Emigdios and the Tehachapis near Gorman and Lebec. The Vasquez Rocks are in the southern section.
Snow is frequent in the high areas of the range during the winters. The mountains are prone to wildfires in the summer and fall, during which the Santa Ana winds may blow.
Cultural history[edit]
The Sierra Pelona Mountains were the homeland of the Tataviam and Serrano Native American Native American Californian people. They traded with the Tongva and Chumash people to the south and west, until the Spanish invasion and subsequent colonization relocated them from their Sierra Pelona and Santa Susana Mountains homelands.
Highest peaks[edit]
- Burnt Peak 5,788 ft (1,764 m)

Southern hospitality
Southern hospitality is a phrase used in American English to describe the stereotype of residents of the Southern United States as particularly warm, sweet, and welcoming to visitors to their homes, or to the South in general.
Southern hospitality described[edit]
Some characteristics of southern hospitality were described as early as 1835, when Jacob Abbott attributed the poor quality of taverns in the south to the lack of need for them, given the willingness of southerners to provide for strangers.[1] Abbott writes:
[T]he hospitality of southerners is so profuse, that taverns are but poorly supported. A traveler, with the garb and the manners of a gentleman, finds a welcome at every door. A stranger is riding on horseback through Virginia or Carolina. It is noon. He sees a plantation, surrounded with trees, a little distance from the road. Without hesitation he rides to the door. The gentleman of the house sees his approach and is ready upon the steps.[1]
Abbott further describes how the best stores of the house are at the disposal of visitors.[1] Furthermore, says Abbott:
Conversation flows cheeringly, for the southern gentleman has a particular tact in making a guest happy. After dinner you are urged to pass the afternoon and night, and if you are a gentleman in manners and information, your host will be in reality highly gratified by your so doing.
Such is the character of southern hospitality.[1]
Food figures highly in Southern hospitality, a large component of the idea being the provision of Southern cuisine to visitors. A cake or other delicacy is often brought to the door of a new neighbor as a mechanism of introduction. Many club and church functions include a meal or at least a dessert and beverage. Churches in the South frequently have large commercial style kitchens to accommodate this tradition, but many "fellowship suppers" are "covered dish": everyone attending brings a dish. However, if a newcomer arrives without a dish, he or she will be made to feel welcome and served generously. When a death or serious illness occurs, neighbors, friends, and church members generally bring food to the bereaved family for a period of time. A number of cookbooks promise recipes advancing this concept.[2]
Other features of Southern Hospitality include proper local etiquette (i.e., calling one "Sir" or "Ma'am", opening doors for women (as well as men removing their hats when in the presence of a woman or inside her house), cooking enough for everyone who might be around at mealtime, inviting one to church functions, etc.) While persons from outside the region often view the southern hospitality customs as being disingenuous or fake in some way, Southerners see the customs as a way to make the visitor feel as comfortable as possible in an unfamiliar setting.
Critical examination[edit]
Southern hospitality has been examined by sociologists and other social scientists, one of whom has characterized the practices as a masquerade designed to cover deficiencies in southern culture, such as slavery, discrimination, and widespread poverty.
For example, Tara McPherson writes:
|Tradition and manners are repeatedly framed as the glue that binds the South together, distinguishing it from other regions. This is a familiar mantra, one linked to the "famous" southern hospitality capitalized on by many of the tourist attractions highlighted earlier in the book. Contemporary fascinations with the "grandeur" of the Old South depend on a certain sense of decorum, and this genteel mise-en-scene of southernness is constructed via a carefully manipulated stage set of moonlight, magnolias, and manners. White southerners frequently stress the importance of keeping up appearances; for example, in her Womenfolks: Growing Up Down South, popular writer Shirley Abbot describes the "natural theatricality" inherent in southern hospitality. It requires "a talent for taking on a special role in a comedy of manners that will apparently run forever, no matter how transparent its characters and aims" (106). This maintenance of an aura of tranquility despite a certain degree of transparency suggests that southern hospitality is a performance, a masquerade, an agreed-on social fiction, albeit a powerful one with material effects.[3]
Southern hospitality has also been examined as a reflection of the deeply held religious beliefs of the region; the idea that one should be good to strangers is an outgrowth of such Biblical parables as the Good Samaritan. Indeed, Ernest Hamlin Abbott wrote in 1902, "as religious observances are in the South as naturally included in the hospitality of the home as anything else, so, conversely, hospitality in the South is an integral part of the church services".[4]

Hello Rams Fans,
I am a Bears Fans, but I am honestly not trying start trouble or stir up anything. I was just wondering what you guys make of the fact that the Rams are only offering the Bears game and the Dallas game as part of a 4 game package...at least initially. Now I know the Bears have done something similar with the Green Bay game in the past, making it part of a 2 game package with the other game being a pre-season game and I also understand that other teams have done 2 game packages for certain games as well but man, a 4-game package is pretty steep at least from my point of view. Whats youre guys take on this? Will this help the situation that occurred a few years ago...I was at that game too
Btw, after hearing about package setup, I went ahead and got my tickets for the game from strubhub not real happy about it, but whats a guy to do
Thanks and good luck with the season minus November 23 that is ;)

By now, you're probably familiar with the local food movement that champions low-carbon living by way of noshing on edibles that come from regional farmers and producers. But as an excellent recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle written by Tracey Taylor points out, there's a burgeoning local home design movement, too.
Reads the opening of the article:
Hear the words 'locally sourced,' 'sustainable' and 'artisanal,' and you're likely to think of the Bay Area culinary movement, which puts an emphasis on provenance and purity. But it's not just food that's getting the locavore imprimatur. Home design has followed suit, and some of those commissioning new homes now are as evangelical as the most ardent food purists about choosing local architects, designers, craftsmen and furniture-makers. Sustainability is almost always part of the package.
As the trend becomes more popular, provenance in designing a home is becoming as pivotal an issue as it is at a restaurant run by Alice Waters or Thomas Keller. The names of favored suppliers may not appear on menus, but their influence is evident in many new homes in San Francisco, the East Bay and the Wine Country.
Click here to read the entire article that includes some insightful observations on the locavore home movement from those on the forefront of San Francisco's building and design scene.
Then, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, as Oakland-based designer-builder Michael McDonald puts it, "natural extension of the farm-to-table idea." Scroll down to the comments section and share your experiences on how you've been able to support (or not support) local home design and building. Is it easier said than done? Do you end up turning to the web for much of your home design needs or are you generally able to keep it close to home?

Arthur Makaris on Chi Kung, Kung Fu, and Chinese Medicine
Interview by Amy Shoko Brown, MRO
Featured in Mountain Record 25.4, Summer 2007
Arthur Makaris: Well, my parents are Greek, and as a young child, my father would often talk to me about the Greek philosophers. There was a spark that quickly grew inside of me. I grew up outside of Boston and when I was about 12 years old, I started riding my bike to Walden Pond with my friends. We used to go there swimming. I became very interested in Thoreau. When I was a teenager, one day I found a copy of the Tao Te Ching. I read that, and I said, "Oh! This is what Thoreau said —even a little clearer I think." From that point on I was hooked on East Asian philosophy, mainly Taoism.
When I was 18, President Nixon formalized relations with the People's Republic of China. It was big news. He traveled to China with an entourage of reporters, etc. While they were there, one of the reporters needed an emergency appendectomy, and that was partially done using acupuncture anesthesia. That was headline news for about a week. And I remember being fascinated by all those stories; I had never heard about acupuncture. And that's it. I was very interested. However, I put it in the back of my mind.
Around that time I began studying martial arts with a Chinese teacher in Boston's Chinatown. The school I studied in had its roots in a Buddhist monastery in China. Two years after the U.S. formalized relations with China, Dr. So came here. to start teaching Chinese medicine. Well, it just so happened that my martial arts teacher and Dr. So came from neighboring villages in the old country, and they were friends. And so, Dr. So would come by this Kung Fu studio and hang out. I got to know him. Dr. So tried to make inroads with the Western medical community at that time. However, nobody wanted to listen to him, so he started his own school. That was the New England School of Acupuncture, and I became a student there. At that time there were no acupuncturists and no doctors of Chinese medicine in the U.S. I studied acupuncture and Chinese medicine only to deepen my understanding and knowledge of Chinese philosophy; I never had any intention of being a doctor or practicing. But very quickly in the Boston area people's desire for acupuncture and Chinese medicine grew. It kind of exploded! I finished studying with Dr. So when I was about 24 years old. I worked in a clinic in Harvard Square but when my Kung Fu teacher was moving to Florida, I wanted to continue learning from him so I moved to Florida.
I still had no real desire to practice Chinese medicine. However, because I had gone to school and people thought that I knew Chinese medicine, people kept asking me. In 1986 my wife and I moved to Vermont—solely to live a simple country lifestyle, to start a farm. I got a job on a vegetable farm to get more training. There was someone on the farm that summer who had hurt his back. One day I said, "I think I might be able to help you. You know, I know some acupuncture." So, I did, I helped that person. Two days later someone else comes up to me on the farm, "You know, my shoulder's been killing me. Can you help me?" From then on it was like an avalanche. And I guess from that moment on I've just been offering those services.

Impressive Victory Casts Aside Doubts About Manny Pacquiao's Boxing Demise
In the last major fight Bob Arum promoted in the Far East, he walked out of a Philippines arena to a burning sun, mourning the destruction Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier delivered to each other in their third bout, the "Thrilla in Manila" in 1975.
Sunday, Arum looked outside to cloud coverage in Macao, China, and beamed with delight.
Arum's fighter, Manny Pacquiao, is back.
In Pacquiao's decisive victory over Brandon Rios on Saturday night Pacific time, the Filipino star buried thoughts of retirement, which his trainer, Freddie Roach, said he would have suggested had Pacquiao lost.

Barron Building is an 11-storey building containing 130,834 square feet of office and retail space. The property is located in the downtown commercial core, in the south west quadrant of Calgary. Barron Building was designed by Cawston and Stephenson and construction was completed in 1954. We at Strategic Group share and appreciate J.B. Barron's vision and creativity. In Mr. Barron's tradition we have embarked on a redevelopment program that will see the Barron Building restored as a historically significant building providing tenants with premises that are, environmentally, technologically, and aesthetically, some the finest in the City.
The Barron Building marks the shift of the Oil and Gas industries focus from Edmonton to Calgary, as well as the growth in Calgary that followed. The new Art Deco building was an immediate success; Mobil, Shell and Sun Oil were early tenants.
The Barron Building is a classic example of late 1930's architectural design that is found in cities such as New York and Chicago. This design is unique in that the fascia is very prominent on the building and it doesn't just rise up a straight slab like many modern towers. The corners step back at the eighth floor and then again on the eleventh floor where there was originally an apartment with a lawn and patio off the living, dining and bedrooms. The multi-use vision for the Barron Building was grand and ahead of its time, combining commercialism with entertainment and living.
The property is located on Stephen Avenue with easy access to a variety of amenities such as boutique and chain retail locations, various restaurants and greenery such as Century Gardens.

Superdome symbolizes Katrina recovery
Friday, January 02, 2009
By PAUL GATTIS
Times Sports Staff email@example.com
Refurbished arena where 10 died during Katrina regains its glimmer
NEW ORLEANS - A stroll down Poydras Street outside the Louisiana Superdome tells nothing about the story.
The traffic roars, the buildings gleam with prosperity and the kids play on skateboards outside the building where hell came to visit three years ago.
"I don't know how they went through what they did," said Stephanie Godfrey, the wife of University of Utah receiver Bradon Godfrey. "I think a lot about what I would have done."
Tonight, Alabama will play Utah at the Superdome in the 75th Sugar Bowl. More than 70,000 people will crowd into the place as part of the fun and frivolity of the New Year's weekend.
And it will all happen at a spot where 10 people died in wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, including one man who leaped from the upper deck to his death.
"This was a horrid situation, an incredible thing that happened in here," said Bill Curl, the coordinator of media relations at the Superdome. "A terribly tragic thing for the people who were in here. Some of those people went through hell in this building and say they can never come back."
Is this like throwing a party in a cemetery? Estimates say about 30,000 evacuees migrated to the dome as an escape.
It then grew into a haven for those escaping the floodwaters that decimated this city when levees broke and turned Poydras into an Americanized version of Venice, Italy - sans the romantic gondolas.
"It puts things in perspective," said Alabama tailback Glen Coffee, who had family living in Louisiana displaced by the storm. "We take football really seriously and it's a job for us.
"At the same time, when things like that happen, sports are not even in the picture."...

Myron L Meters Thanks Plant Masters Wholesale Nursery!
Plant Masters Wholesale Nursery of Kountze, Texas is the owner of a new AG-5 Agrimeter from
Myron L Meters.
Checks soil salinity
Checks water salinity
Checks correct fertilizer concentration
Checks boiler water conductivity
Automatic temperature compensation means no thermometers or adjustments
Only small amount of soil needed for tests
Budget priced
Plant health can be greatly affected by pH (acidic or basic), salinity (soluble salts), and alkalinity, yet growers often ignore these factors. It is easy to test for these three important parameters using a portable AGRI-METER with Soil Test Kit.SOILS
Optimum soil pH is essential for obtaining maximum efficiency from fertilizers and herbicides.This is especially true for artificial growing media which, without buffering capability, are much more pH sensitive than natural soil. In addition, the pH of artificial soils can vary greatly when new, and must be adjusted (leached) before use.
Dissolved salts (salinity) in soil must also be monitored to guarantee healthy plants. Salt build-up in soil can be due to high TDS (total dissolved solids) in water, excess fertilizer, or poor drainage. Each plant has its own salinity tolerance level. If excessive salts accumulate in the soil, roots will take in little or no soil solution, resulting in reduced plant growth and quality.Using a Myron L Model AG6/PH for checking soil salinity and pH is easy. Simply mix one part soil with two parts pure water in the vials provided with the Soil Test Kit. Some organic media, such as peat moss, need a 5:1 water: soil dilution ratio. Only a heaping tablespoon of soil is required. Agitate container vigorously. Let settle for 45-60 minutes and decant the water into the instrument cell cup. Push buttons to read directly in millimhos/conductivity (salinity) and soil pH.
Myron L Meters is pleased to do business with Plant Masters.
