The Harrisburg Mile is different from most races. Instead of starting all the runners at once, the race is staggered with each age group going out separately; a new group every ten minutes. As I sat at the start I realized that waiting for my turn to race was like waiting in line to get on a roller coaster. Fear and nervousness would wash over me as I watched other runners take their place and then take off down Front Street. I started questioning my reasons for being there, like when you look at the Super Dooper Looper and think, "Did I really pay to do this?"
The goal for today was to race between 5:15 and 5:19. This would give me a one mile PR. Not just an old guy PR, but a legitimate, genuine I've-never-run-a-mile-this-fast-before-in-my-whole-life PR. The temperature was brutal, it was 94 when I left the house at 6:15 and at best it was in the upper 80s when the 40-44 age group went off at 7:35. I moved to the front of the line a few minutes before the start and realized I had not set my Garmin to go off at each quarter mile. I desperately tried to remember how to do it as the starter started announcing the time until the start.
"One minute!" he shouted. I was pushing buttons, but getting nowhere.
"30 seconds!" he called out. Forget it. I hoped the 1/4 mile markers were accurate and I quickly set the display to the timer, then leaned forward as the starter counted down from ten.
Even though I lined up front, a dozen runners passed me within the first few feet. Forget them, I reminded myself. Most of them will fade...at least I hoped they would.
And they did, for the most part. As we approached the quarter mile there were still several people in front of me. What concerned me more was my 1/4 mile split. I saw 1:08 as I approached. I quickly checked my Garmin and confirmed the distance was accurate. I think I went through at 1:11 or 1:12. That was about 8 seconds faster than I had planned. I was hoping I wouldn't pay for that fast first quarter later on, but I was reassured by the fact that I felt surprisingly good. My breathing was in control, I didn't feel like I was pushing it, so I didn't worry about it. And in the back of my mind I knew I was on a sub 5 pace.
I was really in the zone during this race. I don't remember much except the runners in front of me. As we approached the 1/2 mile mark I had moved into 3rd place. I had purposely slowed after the first 1/4 mile, but I came across at 2:30. I still felt good, in fact I almost felt like I was holding back. I knew I was on a 5 minute pace, but I didn't want to get too cocky. Just hold this pace I kept telling myself.
By the 3/4 mark I had moved into 2nd place. The first place runner was about 5 yards in front of me. Part of me thought of going for him, but even though I could see the finish, I knew picking up the pace would be the end of me. I knew I was going to run out of steam at some point and I didn't want to do it with almost a 1/4 mile left. I can't remember what my time was coming through the 3/4 mile mark, but I knew I was on pace for a PR if I just held on. I told myself to not worry about placing, it was all about a PR at that point. With about 100 meters to go I was running on sheer will. My form was atrocious. My shoulders were hunched, my head was tilted to the side, I was done. It was at that point I was passed by two runners. I had nothing left to chase and I staggered across the line at 5:18. A PR by 2 seconds. Here's some video my wife took of the end of the race:
I feel incredibly happy with my time, but to be honest I want more. PRs are awesome, but a sub 5 mile is what I really want. I think the key to getting it is losing weight. My training is where it should be, but I need to lose another 10-15 lbs. I've started counting calories and keeping a food journal, and it has helped me lose 5 lbs so far without feeling hungry. My next mile race is in September. I plan on being a few pounds lighter by then and perhaps that much closer to sub 5. I can't wait to find out!
Stop the presses!! Thanks to chip timing, I'm actually faster than I thought (and closer to that sub 5):
A PR! Impressive first quarter at 71. That must have been a bit of a surprise which cut both ways I'm sure. A 5:18 is seriously fast and you have every reason to be very proud of that. It looks as if the finish is uphill on the video. Whoa.
Congrats on that PR! What a fun video. I bet that incline felt like a mountain in that last 100 yards.
I'd be happy too. And I believe you will be going lower--maybe even below 5!
That was great. Nice way to rock the PR.
Congrats! Sounds like you had an awesome race!
Excellent job! I'm looking forward to reading about your September sub-5.
Run fun! ~Mike
Congrats on the PR!! If you can get that much speed during the heat, I've got confidence you'll be much faster in September.
Life's a little better when we run.
September is going to be a big month! Cooler weather, a little lighter, and some more training should have you right where you need to be!
Awesome job! Those PR's don't get any easier, but they are very much worth chasing!
Congrats on the PR! Super speedy! I agree that in the fall you should better your time because it will be cooler. WTG!
Running = Happiness
Watching you train and tackle the mile has been fun. I loved the video too... "Come on Steve!" I felt like I was there hehe. 5:18 is FANTASTIC! I know you can get that sub 5. Good luck with your goals
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing" - Hunter S. Thompson
Congrats on the PR! You can tell in that video you pushed until you had nothing left. Great race! It is funny that in a mile race 1/4 mi left is a lot.
Can't wait to hear about the one in September!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
-Lao Tzu
Well done! A PR on a gross day is a good omen for the fall.
Congratulations on the new PR and a great race!
That's pretty impressive!
Way to go on that PR! Congrats!
Congrats!!! So happy that you got a time you wanted, a PR, and hey-- if you can run such a blazing time in July and with the heat/humidity we have going on right now, that 5:00 is going down this fall. Third place in you AG is great, too! Great report.
Actually I was 4th, but I'll take a PR over an AG award any day!
5:18 is pretty darn fast! Congrats on your PR!
DUDE! Congrats on the legitimate, genuine I've-never-run-a-mile-this-fast-before-in-my-whole-life PR!!
Thats an awesome time and an even awesomer effort! Sun 5 is on my radar now, too! The mile is definitely a different beast from all the other typical distances. Great video, and having been there myself, seeing your form fall apart gives me a pretty good indication of how you were feeling right then....awful!
Congrats! That's crazy fast. And I agree, your form was TERRIBLE at the end! Ha! I can almost feel the pain and the muscles filled with lactic acid. Thanks for the motivation.
Wow, that's solid! Good luck on losing those last few pounds. the myfitnesspal might be a good app and it's free if you hit a plateau. It keeps track of activity and calories (protein, fats, and carbs seperately) so you can experiment a little to see the best mix of nutrition and activities.
Wow! That's ridiculously fast. Enjoyed reading and watching it. Good luck in September!
Way to go on the PR, your training has really paid off, that is way fast!!! Loved the video!!!
Way to push to that PR! Sept. temps will help and you have that sub-5 in the bag.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Congratulations!!! Super impressively fast!
Love that you got a great finishing video. Very cool that your wife took that for you.
What a race! That is definitely a solid time..but from having raced the mile before, I know how painful it is when you go out just a couple seconds too fast in the first quarter. You definitely pay for it later. And hey, you beat that skinny guy in the shorty shorts at the end! Way to go!

Place this recliner in the corner of the room or position it next to your living room sofa for a complete lounge ensemble.
The Latitudes - Julio Power Recliner with Bustle Back by Flexsteel at Zak's Fine Furniture in the Tri-Cities - Johnson City and Bristol Tennessee area. Product availability may vary. Contact us for the most current availability on this product.
Thanks to a nifty counter-balanced linkage system, you can stop your reclining chair or sofa back at any and every angle. It's truly the best option for customizing your comfort to your body, this feature is available on both manual and power recliners.
Don't be fooled by the technical jargon- Blue Steel and Dualflex springs are the real deal.

If you don't believe it, the spring system can be replaced by the manufacturer at any time thanks to a lifetime warranty.
Recycled NuvoLeather™ leathers are colored and processed to have the best look and feel. With a lower percentage of actual leather, NuvoLeather is technically a performance fabric, which means it has the weight and durability of leather with a cleanable surface that's ideal for active families with small children or pets.
Leather match is an industry term that denotes different qualities of material used on different parts of a recliner. Helping make the piece more affordable, top grain leather is used on the parts of the recliner that touch your body, while a lower-quality split leather or color-matched vinyl is used on the back and sides. This is very common for reclining furniture, and the doesn't change the sophisticated look of your chosen leather upholstery.
Unlike recliners that are built with a two- or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a single chaise cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers a fuller comfort and support for your legs, as well as eliminating the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.
Make your recliner less cumbersome by removing the back when you are moving in or out of your home. Locking brackets safely join recliner and back, ensuring your chair will be stable when you use it.

Are you celebrating the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but didn't grow up celebrating the holiday yourself?
FREE! Prep Class for the High Holidays: Through hands-on activities and stimulating discussion, participants will explore the "how-tos" and purpose behind the various High Holiday rituals; examine some of the prayers one will hear in synagogue and in the home; and learn the virtues of some traditional Rosh Hashanah foods and the concepts behind fasting for Yom Kippur! Participants will also discover ways to answer their children's questions and discuss some of the intricacies of participating in--or even hosting!--a Jewish holiday celebration when you yourself are not Jewish.
For more information, contact The Mothers Circle National Coordinator, Sarah Sechan, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-760-1440.

Those who use the Self-Guide will be able to reflect on the stories, recommendations, and questions posed in How to Raise Jewish Children…, as well as further articulate their goals and determine the choices they will make as they raise their Jewish children. By creating an introspective guide that a mother can work through alone at any given time, JOI hopes to serve more mothers who, whether due to geography or other commitments, may have previously felt alone in the venture to raise Jewish children.

For the past three years, the Wilson Center's Africa Program has been deeply involved in directing a leadership training program in the war-torn Central African nation of Burundi. When the country selects its first democratically-chosen president since 1993 on August 19th, Burundians hope to bring a close to 12 years of conflict, instability and inter-communal massacres that have left more than 300,000 dead and 1.6 million displaced. There is great optimism within Burundi and among international observers that this election will proceed peacefully and mark the beginning of a new era of recovery and development in Burundi. Over the past year, there have been many great strides.
The country has already witnessed a successful Constitutional Referendum with over 90 percent voter turn-out and an overwhelming "yes" vote, and largely peaceful elections for the parliament, senate and local administrations.
The United Nations established an observer mission in 2004 that has had a significant calming effect on a very nervous population. Within the security forces, key elements to a stable and sustainable transition, demobilization, disarmament and reintegration are moving forward, and the Chiefs of Staff of both the army and the national police are demonstrating a commitment to building cohesive, reformed national institutions.
Six of the seven former rebel groups are participating in the electoral process, and there are positive signs that the remaining rebel group may be willing to be integrated into a peace process after the elections. Overall, the peaceful and responsible unfolding of the general elections are a cause for optimism – and testimony to the strength of the prevailing peace dynamic among Burundians.

Challenges for the Future
On August 19, there is little doubt that the new president will be Pierre Nkurunziza, who led the largest armed movement in opposition to the government over the last several years, the CNDD-FDD. He will be only the second Hutu President to be elected in this majority Hutu country, the first of whom was assassinated in the months following his election in 1993. So, the tasks confronting Burundi after the election are formidable, both in terms of economic development and reconciliation and justice issues.
Burundians face many challenges in their effort to overcome – indeed, to transcend – their tragic post-independence history. Their hopes for a sustainable post-war recovery will depend, in large measure, on the ability of the nation's highly polarized leadership to find a means of working collaboratively across the lines of ethnic and political division to rebuild its institutional capacity.
This, in turn, will require the nation's leaders to abandon the zero-sum, "win-lose" paradigm induced by war in favor of a paradigm that recognizes their inter-dependence. They must come to a new understanding that, while some of their interests may be in conflict, Burundians – Tutsi, Hutu and Twa -- have important interests in common; as a consequence, they stand to gain far more by collaboration than by struggle. Beyond this paradigm shift, Burundian leaders must also rebuild their personal relationships and trust, reach agreement on how power will be organized and decisions will be made, and develop more cooperative modes of discourse.

Training for Peace and Reconstruction
In order to assist Burundians in meeting these challenges, the Wilson Center launched a major capacity-building initiative in December 2002, with the support of the World Bank's Post Conflict Fund and the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). The Burundi Leadership Training Program (BLTP) aims to building a cohesive, sustainable network of key leaders able to work collaboratively, across all of the lines of ethnic and political division, in guiding the institutional transformation required for the country's economic reconstruction and a durable peace.
Through this program, 95 key Burundian leaders, strategically selected on the basis of Burundian perceptions of their potential for shaping Burundi's future, and drawn from diverse ethnic, social and institutional backgrounds have received intensive training in a broad range of leadership skills: conflict analysis, communications, negotiations, visioning, group problem-solving, team-building, strategic planning, and the management of organizational change.
This training has been expanded, at Burundian request, to include the Joint Ceasefire Commission, the newly integrated Military High Command, the newly integrated Police High Command, leaders of 31 of the 33 political parties, and the Joint Liaison Teams of the United Nations, who oversee the demobilization process.
In all, almost 400 national leaders have been involved. The program also has been expanded to train community based leaders in conflict management and resolution skills, in order to peacefully effect the reintegration of displaced and refugee populations. Almost 3,700 community leaders have to date received this training. The British assistance agency, the Department for International Development, has just announced a two-year funding commitment to the Wilson Center to continue the capacity building work through the difficult transition ahead.

Serving Communities
Policies and Practices
YouthSpark Star
Four Ukrainian students won the Imagine Cup for inventing gloves that turn sign language into speech.
The ideas were wide-ranging, until one of the team members mentioned a recent experience
in a supermarket. He saw a cashier struggling to communicate with a person who was
deaf. That launched the four Ukrainian computer science students into a discussion
about the troubles that students with hearing impairments had at their computer
"It would have taken us years and years to get this kind of exposure globally normally.
Since we won [Imagine Cup], we've had emails from all over the world offering to
help us and invest seed funding."
Maxim Osika, Team Quad Squad
Maxim and the others researched the idea and were surprised to learn that no such
devices are available on the market. The team decided it would create a pair of
gloves that could translate sign language into spoken word.
That day, Enable Talk was born.
They started building the prototype for the gloves in January 2012 and worked though
weekends and nights to finish in time for the Microsoft 2012 Imagine Cup in Sydney,
Australia, in July.
The Enable Talk gloves turn sign language into speech.
They use flex sensors, gyroscopes, touch sensors, and accelerometers and can be adjusted
to any form of sign language. There are an estimated 360 million people globally
who are deaf or hard of hearing, according to the World Health Organization. The
goal of the gloves is to allow the estimated 70 million people who use sign language
to communicate with people who don't.
Enable Talk won first place in the innovation category, beating 350 students from
75 countries. The prize included US$25,000 to help with development and testing.
Imagine Cup, the premier worldwide student technology competition and a Microsoft
YouthSpark program, challenges young technologists to create something that takes
on one of the world's toughest problems.
Team Quad Squad reacts to the news they won the Imagine Cup.
The press was overwhelming. Time magazine named Enable Talk one of the Best Inventions
of 2012. Forbes magazine wrote a news story about the team. The Ukrainian press
went nuts and the government recognized Maxim and the others with an award for creating
a more positive image of Ukraine.
"Imagine Cup has been very helpful for us," said Maxim, now 27. "It would have taken
us years and years to get this kind of exposure globally normally. Since we won,
we've had emails from all over the world offering to help us and invest seed funding."
After Imagine Cup, finalists were eligible to apply for a US $50,000 Imagine Cup Grant
from Microsoft.
Enable Talk won that too.
Team members Valeriy Yasakov, 25; Maxim Osika, 27; and Anton Posternikov, 29.
The team is using the grant money to help with technical challenges and to hire lawyers. The members are now fundraising
to finish development by the end of the year. They have put university on hold and
are working on the project full time.
The gloves can now translate 50 words, but the team is working on expanding to 200
before the launch. The gloves are being tested with native signers to build the
standard signs. It takes about three minutes to program each gesture. The gloves
and technology will cost about $300.

Beginning Sunday, the US Post Office will raise the price of stamps by three cents, from 46 to 49 cents.
The hike is the largest increase in consumer postage prices in more than a decade.
It comes after the agency's regulator gave the green light back in December to keep up with inflation and recoup losses incurred during the great recession.
The agency said in November that it lost five billion in the latest fiscal year.
That's far less than in recent years, but that's on top of years of losses.
The agency has exhausted a 15 billion loan from taxpayers to make up for shortfalls.

Gerd Von Dincklage-Schulinburg was the first person to swim across the Rottnest Channel between Cottesloe Beach and Rottnest Island off the coast of Western Australia near Perth.
He completed his swim in January 1956. Next February, a record number 237 solo swimmers will attempt to duplicate his feat at the 22nd Rottnest Channel Swim, a wildly popular 19.7km solo and relay swim.
One of those swimmers is Salvatore Cimmino.
Cimmino is an amputee, a disabled person's advocate, and a nominee for the 2012 World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year award. The World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year award honors the individual who (1) best embodies the spirit of open water swimming, (2) possesses the sense of adventure, tenacity and perseverance that open water swimmers are known for, and (3) has most positively influenced the world of open water swimming during the year.
The nomination of the Italian non-stop dynamo from the World Open Water Swimming Association reads,
"Salvatore Cimmino is relentlessly positive and positively impatient. He continues his Swimming in the Seas of the Globe (A Nuoto Nei Mari del Globo) and completed two noteworthy swims this year. His first swim in 2012 was a 40km swim across Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the Rwanda border. Cimmino's second swim was a 25km crossing of the Boston Harbor in America. After getting his leg amputated at the age of 15, his passion to help others has enabled him to combine his love of swimming with a campaign to raise awareness about physical disabilities. In Israel, Italy, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, America and Congo, he shows people what is possible and inspires people to dream big. His swims enable others to obtain prosthetic aids and to remove architectural barriers. For his ability to attract funds and scientific resources to his campaign, for his ongoing efforts to prove that disabilities do not need to define individuals, for the audacity of his dreams, Savatore Cimmino is a worthy nominee for the 2012 WOWSA Open Water Swimming Man of the Year."

Zero Hour reveals the secret holy apocalypse clock in Einstein's brain
Before I begin the recap, I want to make one thing clear: I love Zero Hour. I find it massively entertaining. Oh, it has flaws, and the characters are insane, and nothing makes any sense — but Zero Hour is doing exactly what it sets out to do, and making sense isn't one of those things. I may mock the show, but I can… »

Damonte Ranches Kalyn Paque pitches against the Douglas Tigers during their regional playoff game played on Thursday afternoon, May 9, 2013 at Bishop Manogue High School in Reno, Nevada.
- Filed Under
Douglas quietly took care of business during the regular season. The Tigers beat the teams they were supposed to beat; they just couldn't get over the hump that is the tradition-laden triumvirate of Damonte Ranch, Reed and Spanish Springs.
But the Tigers did take Reed to 19 innings and registered six runs against Damonte's Kalyn Paque. So, they were not without confidence. And they finally got over the hump in a big way Thursday.
Little Katie Kluever's grand slam capped a three-homer afternoon and powered Douglas past Damonte, 7-5 at Bishop Manogue, and into Saturday's Division I North ...

room clean, service adequate
ice machine needs fixed. need to air out the hallways so they are not so stuffy.
We got there very late after a Christmas party. The desk clerk was immediately available and also informed me that she had upgraded our room to a suite for free. It was a very spacious, homey room. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean.
Friendly staff. Serve it's purpose. Right off highway.
Price and location
Very dirty room. Quite a bit of trash in the trash cans.
It had a bed, it was dark and quiet. I stopped. I slept well, then I left.
Comfortable right off the the highway
it was very clean
light fixture in our room didn't work and they said deal with it
hot tub was broke, waffle maker was broke
water was so hot could not let my children use sink
The staff were all grumpy and room service knocks on door at 7am
The couch and ottoman were soiled. The bath tub would not drain properly. Breakfast was cold and horrible. The hallway stinked of cigarette smoke even in the non smoking zone.

Nancy Anderson, contributor to the Retirement section of Forbes.com, notes the potential financial downside of today's trend toward having children later in life. She presents several tips on how to plan early for a family and make it feasible to have children at a younger age:
"Obviously, many women feel the biological clock ticking, so it's important for any woman who wants to have a family to also look ahead to how it could impact her family's finances. Here are a few ways to set yourself up for happiness and success:
Plan your career with a future family in mind. Ladies, if you want to meet the man of your dreams, don't spend your weekends in a convent. In all seriousness, think about social contacts as well as your career advancement when making your life plans. The daughter of a friend of mine (who wants to go unnamed) is planning to apply to medical school. The road to becoming a doctor is a long one and since she wants to get married and start a family by age 30, she realized that her best opportunity to do so is to meet her future husband while she's in medical school. She is hoping to get admitted to a medical school in a large metropolitan area where she has a broad social network, hopefully giving her a better chance to get her M.D. and find love along the way.
Don't wait until life is perfect to have children. As a couple, you want to have some financial stability to start a family—one of you needs to have a job, medical insurance and at least three months of net income in savings as an emergency fund (building to six months in the next few years). And, while having children is expensive, there are ways you can economize on big-ticket items—such as hand-me-down or second-hand furniture, strollers and high chairs. Check discount retailers such as Old Navy, Ross and T.J. Maxx for kids' clothes."

Esty Schachter is a social worker for the Franziska Racker Centers, and lives in Ithaca with her family.
One night quite a long time ago, my cousin and I stretched out on our beds, pulled our blankets up around our shoulders and talked about our favorite moments from our favorite book, Sydney Taylor's "All-of-a-Kind Family." We adored the five sisters in that book. We loved that they all slept in the same room and that they all wore matching homemade dresses with itchy woolen stockings. They were girls who loved to play, who cherished their books, their holidays, and their family.
"Remember the part when Sarah lost her library book?" my cousin whispered. "I felt so bad for her." I agreed, thinking back on poor long-ago Sarah, saving her penny allowance to pay for the book she'd lost.
"I really liked the way Mama hid buttons for the girls to find when they were dusting, so it got to be a game."
And then, of course, there was the bedroom scene.
"Remember," my cousin said wistfully, "how Charlotte and Gertie saved their pennies to buy broken crackers and cookies and bits of candy? And then they would hide the paper bag until bedtime and eat the treats together in the bed they shared. They played a game to make everything last as long as possible."
"That was the best part," I said, and then around that time my parents yelled at us from the next room to be quiet and go to sleep, so we stopped whispering, or maybe we just whispered a little more quietly.
That conversation didn't happen when I was eight, or ten, or even fourteen. It happened around the time my cousin and I turned twenty-six, several months before her wedding and a few years before mine. It certainly was not the only thing we whispered about on that last sleepover, but it's the one topic that, ten years later, I remember most clearly.
That magical book had held us in its spell for almost twenty years. I'm guessing everyone remembers books like that. They're the ones you wanted to borrow from the library over and over again, and the titles that first come to mind when someone asks you to name your favorite children's books. They're the ones you can't wait to read to your own children.
My cousin has two daughters now and I have two sons. And since a little thing like "All-of-a-kind Family" being about five girls shouldn't stand in the way of sharing it with a boy, it didn't. I read the book to my five-year-old, savoring each chapter all over again. The garlic necklaces, mushroom bracelets, hot chickpeas served in paper cones and fat sour pickles – all the sights and smells of the old Lower East Side – were suddenly alive in my living room.
As it turns out, my son liked the book. His favorite character was Sarah (mine too). He loved all the trouble Henny gets herself into (me too). And, not surprisingly, he wants to know when he and his brother can have their first sleepover, with broken cookies and crackers and candy to eat in the dark. Very soon, I tell him, and it's a promise.

I'll be going to Crystal Mountain, WA, at the end of January. I'd like to do some tree runs but I only will if I'm with someone else.
After our last trip to CO, I thought of this...
Here's an idea of mine for a system for deep pow in trees. I haven't used it yet, but I have told one of the 2 guys I ride with about it for the next time we get into trees with deep powder. He says it's a smart thing to do. I'm just not sure about stability when stopping at the bottom of each section as I'll mention below, so someone let me know what you think:
Let one drop in for about 30-60 ft, depending on visibility while the other two wait at the top or bottom of that section for the other. Take turns, riding down each section one at a time while remaining in sight. This way, if one of us falls into a tree well the other two are always watching and can come to dig them out.
Does that sound good? I know it would be safer than going balls out free-for-all, but I'd also really like to hear what you guys think, who have more experience with this kind of stuff than I do.
We also wear bright colors (I have a lime jacket and bindings.) I know that two of us carry a rescue whistle, which would help us locate each other a little if a fall were to happen.
All these things add up and make it a little more safer. This one-at-a-time system seems like it would be pretty damn effective, and although we're not equipped for backcountry (we usually ride resorts, sometimes off-trial trees), I think it would be a good way to look out for each other. Like I said though, I'm not too sure about being able to stop without falling in deep snow like that at the end of each turn.
Here's a video of a guy who fell into a tree well at a resort with a helmet cam:

Ester Alvarenga of El Salvador Admired the Strong Testimonies of Oromos at New York
July 24, 2012 (Ayyaantuu.com) — Ester Alvarenga of El Salvador admired the strong testimonies of Oromos during a panel discussion in the presence of a U.N. Special Rapporteur, Professor Juan Mensez at the Catholic University of America. She said, "I have heard many testimonies but that of two Africans (Oromos), Hussien Ahmed and Fayera Nagaraa, was the most powerful of all testimonies I have ever heard."
A delegation of survivors visited the United Nations, hosted by Franciscans International and other faith-based NGOs with observer status at the UN. Out of six delegates, two of them, Hussien Ahmed and Fayera Nagaraa, were from Africa (Oromia).
Hussein Ahmed is a survivor of torture from Oromia, currently living in Norway. He spoke of the real danger that 400 survivors of torture may be deported back to Ethiopia.
He was joined by Ester Alvarenga, from Pro-Busqueda in El Salvador, an organization that reunites children kidnapped by the Salvadoran military in the 1980s with their parents.
Neris Gonazlez was one of three Salvadoran plaintiffs who brought to justice two Salvadoran generals living in Miami for their role in the torture, disappearance, and execution of thousands of Salvadorans during the 1980's civil war.
Aileen Bacalso and her husband Edsil, both from the Philippines, recounted the courageous witness of family members of the disappeared from around the world who successfully lobbied the UN General Assembly to pass a new convention against enforced disappearances in December 2006.
For the second consecutive year, TASSC joined the Program for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (PSTT), a treatment center in Northern Virginia, to convene health professionals in the Washington DC metropolitan area for a series of panels with survivors and workshops with health professionals on "Rebuilding a Life after Torture."
Survivors also joined 40 university students from The Washington Center and lobbied 15 Congressional offices, urging representatives and senators to end the practice of detention of asylum seekers and to condition U.S. aid to countries that torture.
Photo courtesy: Aileen Bacalso. Ester is not shown on the photo. The group consisted six people – two from Asia (the Philipines), two from Africa (Oromia) and two from South America – (El Salvador.)

When I am craving chocolate or other food & have already had enough, I brush my teeth. I don't want to ruin a clean mouth!
When i get hungry, i usually crave savoury/sweet things, like pork pies/pork & egg pork pies/ quiches, chocolate/ice cream/choc ices, i alwys turn to my stopping cravings at bay weapon breadsticks, i have 5 of these, & all my cravings stop212247
Whenever i feel like eating chocolate or something else sweet. I just eat some dried fruit as a treat. After a while I stop craving chocolate and always associate a sugar craving with fruit
I learned that the amino acid L-glutamine will stop cravings for sugar, carbs and alcohol. Just take 500-1000mg 3 times a day and watch the cravings disappear. I kicked my alcohol and sugar addiction with this aid. I have been off both for almost 2 years.

Okay - my third tablet computer in the car.
This time it's with a Raon Digital Vega.
Here's the link with pics and video.
As little tablets go, it's easy to mount in the car and runs XP. It has quite a few limitations for the price, though. I thought I'd share it here to let people know it's out there.
I will be looking into car computer solutions at CES next week. I'll report back with what I find.

PROVINCETOWN — The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is searching for a severely injured North Atlantic right whale that was spotted Sunday 180 nautical miles off Cape Cod, according to NOAA.
The whale was among a group of two dozen right whales that the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center aerial survey team spotted east of Province�town entangled in multiple lines, NOAA said in a statement.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada launched an area search to locate the whale in Canadian waters, the statement said.
The identity of the whale has not yet been determined, Maggie Mooney-Seus, NOAA spokeswoman said Wednesday. North Atlantic right whales have distinctive markings that allow researchers to chart each one in what is known as the North Atlantic Right Whale Catalog. The digital catalog is curated by the New England Aquarium in Boston.

The pairings are set for the York-Adams American Legion Baseball Tournament.
The double-elimination event, which features eight teams, begins on Tuesday evening with four games. The tournament winner earns a berth in the Region 4 Tournament, which will take place from July 20-24 at Hanover's Diller Field.
Pleasureville, with a 3-2 victory over Dallastown on Sunday, earned the final spot in the York-Adams Tournament. Pleasureville and Stewartstown finished with identical 9-6 records, but Pleasureville, by defeating Stewartstown, 7-6, in the regular season, will be the No. 6 seeded-team, and Stewartstown will be the No. 7-seeded team.
Each first-round game on Tuesday will be played at the field of the better-seeded team.
Tuesday's first-round matchups are: No. 8 Hanover (8-6-1) at No. 1 New Oxford (12-2-1); No. 7 Stewartstown (9-6-0) at No. 2 South Western (11-4-0); No. 6 Pleasureville (9-6-0) at No. 3 Wrightsville (10-4-1); and No. 5 Glen Rock (9-5-1) at No. 4 Spring Grove (10-5-0).
All weekday playoff games will begin at 5:45 p.m.
In Pleasureville's win on Sunday, Austin Seitzinger delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning to erase a 2-1 deficit and give Pleasureville the victory.
Seitzinger came through with his game-winning hit after three of his teammates reached on walks. He led Pleasureville with two hits and two RBIs, along with scoring a run.
Dallastown combined a Matt Attig single with two Pleasureville errors to grab a 2-0 lead in the third inning.
The home team cut the Dallastown lead in half on Wyatt Rentzel's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning.
Both Pleasureville pitcher Tyler Lingg and Dallastown pitcher Cyrus Tome went the distance. Lingg struck out two batters, walked one and allowed four hits. Tome recorded eight strikeouts, five walks and yielded three hits.

FARMINGTON — Windy conditions in the afternoon made for a tough third round at the 50th San Juan Open golf tournament.
Las Vegas, Nev., native Nick Killpack shot his second-straight round of 5-under par 66 to take a one-shot lead into today's final round at San Juan Country Club.
Killpack took advantage of the calmer conditions in the morning to post a three-day total of 10-under 203.
Putting and solid iron play were the keys for the turnaround after Killpack opened with an even-par 71.
"In the first round, I putted terrible," he said. "My putting has just improved. My ball striking has been solid all week, and today it was really, really good. I go out tomorrow and hit it the way I did today, then I'll have a pretty good chance."
Killpack, a 2009 BYU graduate, has a one stroke advantage on Nick Mason, who played in the windier afternoon groupings. Mason matched the low-round of the day, along with Jim Knous, with a 6-under 65 to finish his third round at 9-under.
Mason said his putting was the key to getting into contention.
"I made all the short ones that I hadn't been making," said Mason, a Denver resident. "I had a chance to make nine birdies in a row and ended making seven in nine holes, so that was a good stretch. If you get it under the hole and make your short putts, then I think that a 65 is possible. It played hard, but you just have to stay positive. You know the guys played in good weather in the morning, but you can't worry about that."
Mason, who is playing in his seventh Open, said he's looking forward to being in the final pairing and coming out with his first victory at the event.
"I've been in the final group, I think, three time, and I'd like to win this more than anything with all the friends I've made here over the years watching," Mason said. "I think tomorrow in the morning that it will be nicer, and I'll have to shoot five or six under to have a chance."
Albuquerque professional Kent Jones entered the round with a one-shot lead, but slipped to third place after shooting 71.
Jones sits two shots behind Killpack at 8-under.
A group of five San Juan Open veterans sit between three and five shots back and will try to make a run at Killpack's lead and the tournament's $18,000 first-place check.
Two-time champion Ryan Hogue is three shots back at 7-under, along with Jake Yonan-Wise.
Zahkai Brown, who won last weekend's Navajo Trail Open in Durango, Colo., is four shots back at 6-under.
Clay Ogden, the 2010 champion, and 2013 runner-up Jesse Mueller sit five shots back at 5-under.
San Juan Country Club head pro Jeff Roth is seven shots back after shooting a round of 68 to get to 3-under for the tournament.
In total, 33 players made the cut, which was set at 3-over par 216.
Five players made the cut on the number, including four-time PGA Tour winner Notah Begay III.
Marty Sanchez was the low amateur for the tournament after shooting 69 to finish at 2-over 215.
Sanchez was the lone amateur to make the cut.
The tournament will continue today with the final round for the professionals. Tee times begin at 8:30 a.m.

moreThe "Gateway to Africa," Ghana welcomes around a million tourists, aid workers, and business travelers a year—visitors who invariably come away with glowing reports of a fertile land, tropical scenic beauty, rich culture and traditions, and many first-rate tourist attractions. It is, however, the Ghanaians themselves who make the biggest impression. It is through their hospitality and love of peace that Ghana has a claim to be the safest and friendliest country in Africa. Ghanaians are welcoming to foreign guests, respectful to each other, strong followers of tradition, and have deep familial and communal values. For most visitors, Ghana comes as a wonderfully refreshing change, with valuable lessons to teach the outside world.
Ghanaians like to do things their own way, and Ghana is a proud country that does not cater exclusively to tourists but rather expects them to fit in with the Ghanaian pace and way of life. Thus a visit to Ghana is not without its downsides, and visitors can experience frustrations and barriers. This revised and updated edition of Culture Smart! Ghana explains the complexities and nuances of Ghanaian society with clarity and humor. Visitors are expected to be sympathetic to their customs and beliefs, and their hosts will have no hesitation in saying, "We don't do that here," should a faux pas be made or a taboo broken. It is important to Ghanaians that they, and their guests, follow certain rules and codes of conduct. Culture Smart! Ghana describes these rules, explains where they come from, helps to disperse the frustrations and barriers, and offers the reader an opportunity to enjoy more fully all that this beautiful country has to offer. less

Sandy Hook Fire Department Trained By Homeland Security To Conduct Exercises
December 20th, 2012
(Youtube) – December 17th, 2012 –
The HSEEP Training Course
Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs)
Sep 22, 2010
Homeland Security Exercise Evaluation Program (HSEEP) – Newtown CT, 9/22, 9/29, & 10/6/2010
The HSEEP Training Course
The HSEEP Training Course incorporates exercise guidance and best practices from the HSEEP Volumes. Throughout the course, participants will learn about exercise-related topics including program management, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.
The HSEEP Training Course is an interactive course that allows participants to share personal lessons learned and best practices while gaining practical experience. In addition to the instructor-led course presentations, the course includes small group activities, videos, and group discussions. The course also provides overviews of HSEEP-related initiatives such as technology (e.g., the HSEEP Toolkit) and capabilities-based planning (e.g., Target Capabilities List [TCL]). This blended approach will give participants hands-on experience that readily translates to real-world exercise skills. Activities include creating exercise documentation, conducting exercise planning conferences and briefings, and practicing exercise evaluation.
The course has been developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) using input from Federal partners, subject matter experts (SMEs), and State and local representatives. HSEEP is a capabilities-based exercise program that includes a cycle, mix, and range of exercise activities of varying degrees of complexity and interaction. The purpose of HSEEP is to build self-sustaining exercise programs and provide a standardized methodology for designing, developing, conducting, and evaluating all exercises.
Participant Preparation
Participants need a basic knowledge of exercise design and HSEEP terminology. Therefore, participants are required to complete Independent Study (IS)-120.A, An Introduction to Exercises, before attending the HSEEP Training Course. The IS course takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to complete. To complete this requirement, follow these steps: Go to training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/IS120A.asp and select "Interactive Web-based Course". After completing the modules, select "Take Final Exam". Obtain proof of completion of the course.
Additionally, the HSEEP Training Course will briefly cover other DHS initiatives. As such, it is recommended that participants complete the following IS courses: IS-130, Exercise Evaluation and Improvement Planning IS-139, Exercise Design IS-700, NIMS, An Introduction IS-800.B, National Response Framework, An Introduction
The course will be held at the Sandy Hook Fire Department, address below.

|Effects of zatebradine and propranolol on canine ischemia and reperfusion-induced arrhythmias.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10666509 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|1,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-7,8-dimethoxy-3[3-[[2-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethyl]methylamino]propyl]-2H-3-benzazepin-2-one -hy drochloride (Zatebradine) is a specific bradycardiac agent, blocking the hyperpolarization-activated pacemaker current (I(f)), and thus has no negative inotropic effect. The purpose of this study was to examine whether zatebradine is effective against ischemia and reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in dogs compared to propranolol. Arrhythmia was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. Ischemia-induced biphasic arrhythmias were suppressed in both zatebradine and propranolol groups. During ischemia, fatal ventricular fibrillation occurred in four dogs in the control group, 0 in the zatebradine group, and two dogs in the propranolol group. Of the 31 dogs subjected to reperfusion, mortality rates in the zatebradine, propranolol, and control groups were 56%, 75%, and 86%, respectively, and there were no significant differences. In the heart beating 10 beats/min faster than the predrug heart rate by atrial pacing, both zatebradine and propranolol attenuated ischemia-induced arrhythmias but did not affect reperfusion arrhythmias. Our results suggest that I(f) and/or beta-adrenoceptors rather than the bradycardiac action might be related to the antiarrhythmic effects during ischemia, but that they do not play a role in the generation of the reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias.

The Lebanon Special School District will hold its monthly meeting Monday with several items on the agenda.
The board will consider the district's 2014 school calendar, which Director of Schools Scott Benson said includes some similarities to the proposed Wilson County School calendar.
"We're going to propose a calendar similar to the county, with two weeks fall break and one week spring," he said. "We share so many families with our district and the county, we feel like we need to be family friendly and consider those things."
He noted that the calendars do not match exactly from day to day, but the major breaks would take place at the same times.
Also on the agenda is a resolution to eliminate caps on school buses. Benson said the board was presented a resolution by the Tennessee School Board Association asking for support of legislation that lifts the caps on buses.
"Right now school districts are required to rotate buses out after 17 years of service or 200,000 miles," Benson said. "Buses are inspected annually and if they are mechanically sound, then we put them on the roads. Buses are very expensive, and this legislation would extend the life of a school bus by allowing those that are still mechanically sound to remain in service past the cap."
The board will also draft a resolution for the Election Commission to include an election of one of its board members on the 2014 ballot. Current board member Andy Brummett's seat on the board is up for election.
"School board members are elected for six year terms. Every two years you elect a new one."
The board drafts a resolution for the position to be added to the ballot and sends a letter to the Election Commission.
"We are also recognizing folks for American Education Week," Benson said. "Folks from every school will be recognized."
A special recognition will also be in store for Steve Jones, who was recently inducted into the Quarter Century Club by TSBA.

Friday Book Design Blog: Purgatory/Paradise, by Throwing Muses
Is it a book? Is it a CD? Is a piece of fan-targeted memorabilia?
As a long-time, if rather lapsed, fan of lyrical yet refreshingly obtuse American indie band Throwing Muses, I was intrigued to see this particular item. It's their first collection of new music in ten years, and it comes as a multimedia package: a boutiquey little 64-page hardback book, with a 32-track CD tucked inside its front cover, plus download instructions for further exclusive content.
But it's not being released by any record label. It is being published by The Friday Project (the 'experimental' arm of HarperCollins). It's got an ISBN. Throwing Muses assert the moral right to be identified as its authors – and if that's not the prime definition of bookdom, I don't know what is.
Of course, as an exercise, it's not completely groundbreaking. You may remember Radiohead doing something similar with Kid A and (especially) Amnesiac in the early 2000s. The difference there is that those were 'special editions'. You could buy the straight CDs or downloads for less money. Here, though, this is the straight edition.
There is vinyl, for the purists, and an ebook/app, rather as Hersh did for her last solo album, Crooked. If it's the same as that, then it will tend to get lost on my phone. I've already listened to this album way more than that one, simply because it's right there in iTunes. (It's very good, too. Very good indeed. Hersh's voice is as huskily throat-grabbing as ever, and the songs are strong, strong, strong. But that's not the point.)
The point is, is it a book? Well, no, I have to say, it's not. What it is, is a deluxe CD inlay, blown up and bound all posh. How so, you ask?
Well, because of the glossy paper, because of the interspersed, home-shot but rather stock photos, because of the font (Glypha) that no one would ever set a book in that was actually for reading, because much of it is taken up with the songs' lyrics, with mini-essays by Hersh explaining them afterwards, or not really explaining them – and because these are printed over bright two-tone background images. Just the sort of thing you get in CD inlays. Not the sort of thing you get in books.
The fact is, that font, and that background, makes me push against actually reading any of it. This despite the fact that Hersh is a published author, twice over (though I've not read either of her two memoirs.)
All of this makes the book look to my eyes like it's entirely dependent on/subservient to the music. If, like me, you're someone who, faced with a CD, rips the music to your hard drive then shelves it, never to be spun again unless the hard drive melts down or dies, then I'd be surprised if read any of it more than once.
That Amnesiac special edition, by contrast, has no text at all, beyond one page of track listing and recording credits. It is, in essence, an artist's book by band collaborator Stanley Donwood . As such seems at first glance entirely independent of the CD it houses – though of course that very independence only makes you look and listen closer, to try to find correspondences that may or may not be there.
But perhaps that isn' the point of Paradise/Purgatory. The point of it is that, like many artists in many fields, Throwing Muses have come to the conclusion that they're just not likely to crack the bestseller charts (they last had a Top 20 US single 18 years ago), but have built up a loyal audience that appreciates what they do, and will fund it, in concert tickets and well-packaged artefacts. They have teamed up with The Friday Project to produce something just that little bit out of the ordinary. But is this the start of a great swathe of 'albums-as-books'? I don't think so. No more than The Stranglers 'Aural Sculpture' was the start of a great swathe of 'albums-as-computer-games'.

Poles may or may not work: some horses rush them like they rush jumps (eek.)
Most horses will eventually find peace on a circle; but that's not why you start in them. They teach a horse to keep balance and it's much much easier for a green horse to keep balance on a circle (why it's easier to sit a trot when you pull a tight circle!) then it is for them to keep their balance and remain perfectly straight. You won't always have poles around... but you can always circle. ;)
