Maybe I'll visit my friend Mr. Stepmill this morning at the gym. Haven't had that pleasure since before last marathon cycle. Anyway, some type of cross training and stretching at the gym in a bit. What 'cha got today?
PRs: HM - 1:38:10 (2014) FM - 3:34:03 (2015)
Morning everyone.mdawg - enjoy the cross training and reintroducing yourself to the fun little toys at your gym.I got 14-15 or so with some MP repeats. Not sure how long the repeats will be just going to see how the first few miles go. Then it is Wednesday so that means cheap beer and chicken at the local watering hole. Badger if I could I would have a PBR for you.Have a great day everyone
Trying to wake up... 10 w/2k repeats for me...
5k - 17:55 ('12), 10k - 37:58 ('08), HM - 1:23:13 ('13), M - 3:04:34 ('13)
Morning, I am also trying to wake up. I seem to be out of sync with my sleep again. I have 8 easy miles on tap, should be enjoyable.
Mdawg - What do you do when not in a formal training? You get selection on your workouts.
TaylormadeRW - Good luck with the mileage and repeats, that's a solid workout.
RA - You have an impressive workout too. I like my easy days.
Once I wake up.
mdawg-enjoy the stepmill
taylormade-is this your last time doing the longer midweek workout before the race, or is there another week of it.
RA-enjoy that workout
maureen-enjoy your easy 8
I ran 8.4 with 5 miles at MP, around 8:03. Not bad, but again my legs are tired. Taper madness has set in I think. Achilles is fine, so either I stretched it nicely yesterday, or it was just phantom taper pain.
For some reason I thought that the Chicago marathon was on October 6th this year. I was all excited since I had that weekend off, and DBF lives along the last mile of the race, so really best seats in the house off of his balcony. Well then I looked it up and saw it's on the 13th! Stupid Columbus Day being on the 14th this year. Might not be able to make it, since I have to teach 2 classes that weekend, but maybe, maybe someone will be nice and cover for me
21:31 5k, 1:43 Half Marathon, 3:43 Marathon.
Did 5 easy last night and will do ten tonight. The longer runs at night are becoming a problem as I really do not have a good 10 mile course (6 miles is about the longest natural route from my house) and as it is getting darker, it eliminates some options for me. I don't mind running busier roads in the light, but I avoid it when it gets dark.
1/24/2015: Icebreaker Indoor Half Marathon
4/18/2015: Hoosier Half Marathon
Good morning all!
5 for me this AM, with 6x400's @ 5K pace. Woke up to 44 degree temps. Brrrrrr! Broke out the long sleeves for the first time. When I turned on my Garmin this AM it told me the battery was low. Uh-oh! I always recharge it after every run. It should have been fully changed. It almost made it through my 5 mile workout, dying at 4.75 miles. Fingers crossed that it was a fluke.
Oh, ya. I'm still not ready to declare victory on the PF, but it is about 97.4% healed. It is not affecting my running at all, but I am still being very cautious. Icing it right now in fact.
DD1 started her training for the Disney half this week. DW says she is planning to start her training for the Disney 10K next week. Lots of sweaty laundry in our future!
mdawg - enjoy the stepmill, if that is possible!
taylormade - good luck with your 14-15, and enjoy the chicken and beer!
ra - 2K repeats sounds killer!
maureen - wake up! Only a marathoner would call 8 miles "easy"!
taylorma - glad to hear the Achilles is behaving. Nice workout! Hope you can get the 13th off!
morgan - can you do two loops, a 6er and a 4er?
Have a good one everybody!
PRs: 5K - 22:02 (3/14), 10K - 47:33 (5/12), 13.1 - 1:52:08 (3/11), 26.2 - 4:31:05 (10/14)
Morning Folks.
Taylor-rw - I like your evening plans a lot better than your morning plans... that one sounds tough for a week day.
Taylor-ma - nice job too with the MP miles. Lots of quality workouts going on today by the looks of things.
jmh - nice temps !! and with those new garmins coming out in the next month or so, I'd take that as a sign
dawg, maureen, ra, morgan - hey !
Groundhog day for me. I was meant to hit the track yesterday, but work interfered, so off there shortly. An odd workout for me there. 2K @ 10K, then 200m repeats, then 2K @ 5K, then more 200m repeats. With wu and cd I'm guessing 7 or so. Then 6 with a run club tonight. 17 days until gluttony.
17:50 ('11) 37:24 ('15) 1.23:02 ('13) 2:53:22 ('13) 6 Majors & Comrades done. Now what ?
I have a wednesday night running club. Our 10 mile run was 8 miles last week and I fear 7 miles tonight. We are running out of daylight. Grrr.
2015 in review:
Jan-Rocky Raccoon 100 Finished

June-Black Hills 100 Finished
Sept-Superior 100 Finished
Oct-Wild Duluth 100K Finished
Hey all. Decided on a whim to replace the 6x1200 Pfitz workout with the old 10x800 Yassos. Partially because I know I don't have a single shorter race with good enough conditions (heat humidity and hill-wise) to really pick a goal pace. The other part because I just think its a fun workout.
I did them considerably faster than I expected after the first repeat seemed really easy. I wish there was some decent local race in the next week.
On the bright side, since my marathon PR (one race only) was set with 85 degree temps 100 percent humidity, off of 30 mpw less, and I had the flu, as long as I'm not injured I'll PR by over an hour... even if I blow up.
Does anyone think the Yassos are at least somewhat useful as a confirmation of ability?
Hi, guys-
5-6 miles of some sort of intervals this morning before my 10:30 class. GOt in my 20 miles on Sunday with cooler temps and it was so much nicer in that weather. Monday did 3miles recovery on treadmill after the 10k Sat and 20 Sun- legs felt dead. This was after an hour of step class. Yesterday two classes. Running in the Talladega Half marathon this Sunday in Alabama. It's on a NASCAR speedway and grounds, with it starting and finishing on the apron of the track. Should be different.
JMH-glad to hear your PF is going, going, going...
PRs: 5k- 20:55 (3/13), 10k- 43:34 (2/14), half- 1:35:46 (9/13), full- 3:29:13 (4/13)
yeah this was my last longer midweek run. Next week my midweek run is 12 miles but without any intensity involved.
I ended up doing 15 with 12 at dream MP. I know pfitz has you doing the MP as part of a long weekend run but that has not fit into my schedule as I enjoy running with my friends on the weekend to much to run solo while getting in some MP miles. I am fortunate in that at this time of year my work schedule is very flexible so I can do longer runs during the week.
Good Morning
Once again I have nothing of value to contribute to will post senseless drivel and offer undying support for all of you who are running incredible workouts! Lots of speedy, hardworking folks who should be able to crush their races in the next month!
H2H: I'm sorry about the Boston numbers
taylorma: Glad the niggles are not serious. It would not be a good taper without random freaking out! Sorry for asking as I know you've said, but is your marathon this weekend or next? I do remember where it is, though!
Mfam: Jewel it is! I do like Sunday afternoons as I run into so many people!
Badger: No excuses, strap on that headlamp and keep going!
jmhubba: Good luck on the move! Be careful and don't strain anything!
I wish I could. You can't park at the forest perserve after sunset. I already picked up one ticket.
That's a bummer, badger. I do remember the police telling runners at Waterfall Glen one spring that we could not park in the lot early. We could park along the street and risk opening our doors into traffic, though.
Danced for an hour with Mr. Stepmill this morning. (Only made it up to level 12 badger!)
Maps/Maureen: Well, I did find a flight to Ontario CA that's less than 7 hours and only has one stop each way. That's also the same weekend DH is doing a 24 hour race. Hmmm...
ebunny: We may do something similar in Daytona Beach in February. They have a half down there that starts and ends on the Daytona race track. My sister lives in Ormond Beach so we're seriously thinking about it.
jmh: Good news!
Our coaches must chat. I had 3 easy, 8 * 100 m strides, 3 * 2k a bit faster than 10k, 6 * 200 m "float", 2 easy. I sure as heck wasn't floating on those 200s... My legs were definitely not ready for the faster stuff even on the indoor track, which I ran to/from. Ended with 12.3 miles and sore feet.
That's awesome. I need to get back to using that machine. It's been months. Summer is so busy.
Good Afternoon!
Mdawg: nice job on the stepmill. I've never tried one. I just stick to the treadmill.
Taylormade: sounds like you had a good run. Seems I am always moving runs around as well.
RA/RD: do you guys run speedwork more often than the Pfitz program?
Maureen: enjoy the easy 8.
Jmh: I just broke out the long sleeves on Monday. I always run down my battery to empty either by multiple days of running or if there isn't enough juice, I just let it run while laying around the house. Don't know if it helps but thought I heard running batteries down helps extend the life of a battery.
Taylorma: good news your achilles is better.
Morgan: any business parks nearby? Luckily, I have one within 1/2 mile from the house. It's only 1.3 miles around, but it is well lit and minimal traffic after dark.
Badger: regarding ultras, if I can BQ this December, I will then want to focus on an ultra next year. Will try to find an easier 50K to get my feet wet. I am sure I will have a ton of questions for you.
Darth: Hope the weather cooperates at Chicago this year. You might even decide to move North if you get to experience a nice cool Chicago Marathon.
Ebunny: Don't know if you've ever been to a racetrack, but it's crazy to see how steep the turns are. At the Indy Half, they let the runners run the straight aways, but direct them to the infield on the turns.
Maps: thanks. I'm not too bummed since I kind of expected it. Will just keep plugging away.
Ran 10m today over lunch with 10x100 strides built in (every 5 minutes). I also pushed the pace a little more between strides. Not the Tempo run I was looking for, but with the temps in the 70's and dewpoint in the low 60's, I was able to get my HR in the targeted Tempo HR zone for the last 7 miles.
Why don't you just run there? Problem solved.
26.2 2007-4:19, 2008-4:00 2009-3:42 2010-3:36 2011-3:18 2012-3:06 2013-3:04
I don't really recall what Pfitz does, since I haven't used him for a few years. But I think I have done more speed work the last few cycles, than I did with him. I actually think it's one of the key things that helped me finally get the sub-3. Partly improving running form, but I also noticed my strength and speed at other distances seemed to improve as I ran more track.
firstly congrats. secondly - I'm surprised you came back to marathon running if your first experience was 100% humidity and 85 degrees !!! OMG - that sounds horrendous.
thirdly - unfortunately no. At least not for me. I didn't find Yasso predicted very closely for me. I ran it before my first marathon and averaged 3.02 - and then ran a 3.20 marathon. I could probably go out now and average 2.45, and not get anywhere near that for a marathon. It worked for him, but I certainly wouldn't bank on it being an accurate predictor unfortunately. Still - it sounds like you're in good form and will certainly CRUSH your previous time !!!
On the road or off the road? The lakefront 50K in March is a perfect transition to Ultras for road runners..
Before getting the coach, I'd mostly follow Pfitz. Off season, I'd sometimes do interval + tempo. So, not consistently two sessions. As a rule; I've always found that adding speed work makes a significant difference with my race times. Thus far I feel my strength and durability are killing me in the marathon. I have the speed (sometimes).
Currently I do 2 speed sessions a week, unless it's a cutback/recovery week then I'd get 0 or 1. Typically I have a Wednesday interval or fartlek. Like today it's often >10 miles. I'll then have either a Friday tempo (this will be either be 4 miles @ HM pace or a 3 mile at 10k pace) or speedwork in my long runs. Long run fartlek - 60 second 5k effort every 10 mins - do that for 14-18 miles; GMP - building to 10 @ GMP. I have had GMP and HM pace in a long run - THAT was nasty
I think Yasso 800s are typically seen as a test as to whether you'll make it rather than your potential, i.e. if you can't to do the workout the odds of running the marathon time are decreased. Like RD, I could do the workout faster than my marathon time. The Hansons marathon simulator run may be a better indicator, i.e. run 26 km / 16.3 miles at GMP. I'd recommend doing that in a group as a solo effort would be brutal.
I do that - it's ~2 miles for me. Probably 5-6 miles for Badger - you know, the typical WU.
Think I'm going to scrap Dec marathon and build up for Pfitz 18/85 leading up to Boston. This will give me another month or two of just messing around with some 5Ks.
Wow! Peak of 85 miles! That's a whole lotta miles! What's the average mpw with that program?
It is a lot of miles...but I think I'm better suited for it vs other plans were they put more empashis on speed work...I'm just not cut out for it. I made 0 progress this summer.
It goes anywhere from 65 to 87 miles. I will modify it a bit...he goes 7 days a week and I do like to take a day off once a week. Of course it might be impossible to follow it in the winter.
Maps: Not yet. Still wringing my hands over it. Wonder if there are any hotel rooms left? Probably need to check that too.
Preferably on the road. Something like the lakefront 50K sounds more my speed.
Yea, I thought you guys ran a lot more speedwork, and a lot more unique runs. Just checking my Pfitz program. Speedwork starts in week 10 (3 more weeks for me). 1 per week for 6 weeks with 3 races.
87 miles? That's it? Anyone could do that plan.
I did this one in March. It fits your December timeline perfectly.
I think I still have 2 reservations going because I couldn't make up my mind, I should check that, don't want to pay for both and have to remember to cancel.
The higher mileage does seem to work for you. It'll be interesting to see how fast you get in the shorter distances. I think you'll need to line up some half marathons.

Picked Acadiana on the referral of a friend that went last year during Restaurant Week for lunch and raved about it. The great thing about Acadiana for RW is that they allow you to choose any entree off the main menu (most give you only a few limited choices).
First up… Appetizer…. I was torn…. because I like to always try something new during RW…. SO I was looking at the Turtle Soup…. then I googled and saw that it was actually made with turtle meat (I thought they just threw the shell in the pot (like with the rock soup we made in kindergarden)….eh… not so much. So I asked the waiter for his opinion. He said it wasn't a big draw on the menu…
So I went with Roasted Corn and Crab Soup…YUM
But since we were so curious the waiter said he would bring us a sample. Not bad… I certainly didn't feel like I was eating turtle…. it just tasted like a spicy vegetable soup to me… but I am glad I went with the Corn and Crab soup.
Next up entree… I was looking at the shrimp and grits… but ultimately went with the -blackened tilapia – sweet corn pudding, collard greens with benton bacon, crawfish lemon tabasco butter. So good. Haven't had blackened anything in a while… so this was nice for me. Can't go wrong with corn pudding….
Dessert - Gianduja chocolate crème brulee – chocolate crinkle cookie, hazelnut brittle – I love me some creme brulee… and this was no disappointment.
This is a major benefit of working downtown…. can hit up RW options for lunch… which is about $15 cheaper than the dinner option… The only problem is if you have an afternoon meeting…. you may be in a food coma

Recipe: Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Onions
This Fried Cabbage dish is a staple in a lot of German and Irish homes…. and with good reason… it's absolutely delicious…. and very easy to make… let's face it… how can you go wrong with bacon and onions?
Serve this with baked ham slices or Polish sausage and potatoes… and you have yourself a really tasty and quick meal.
This recipe is a substantial side dish for about four servings…. if you think they'll want seconds… you really should double the recipe.
I wrote the recipe with the cider vinegar as 1-2 tablespoons of cider vinegar… start with one and taste it… if you like it tangy.. add more…
Cut the head of cabbage in half, then lay cut side down and cut into slices.
Don't salt this dish without tasting it first… the bacon adds quite a bit of salt.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we did!
Recipe: Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Onions

Review Title
This is a great tool for the price, pretty much has everything you need on it, Im happy with it.
Chris Bell
What I needed
This tool is a little heavy, but it has everything that I needed and still fit into my axiom seat bag along with CO2 cartridges and a spare tire. So far it has been very durable and I use it around the garage as much as on the road. If weight is a big issue then look elsewhere, if not then this tool is great.
Liron E.
good stuff!
Solid build, a bit on the heavier side but not a deal breaker, recommended.
Cutter Flip Small Travel Multi-Tool - everything you need, nothing you don't
The Cutter Flip Small Travel Multi-tool is great because it is sturdy and allows you to really torque on it with no issues. It isn't the lightest multi-tool I have handled, but its not going to bother you too much unless you are racing. I have used it several times and I have never needed a wrench or screw driver out on the trail that I didn't have, thanks to the Cutter Flip Small Travel Multi-tool. Great product.
Grant Sun
Got this for a friend and it is a great tool for someone that only needs the basics. Tool seems to be durable enogh when really cranking on it also. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it for roadies as with the toughness comes heaviness
RE: Too big and heavy for cycling
If you're looking for a more compact multi tool check out the Cutter Switch. It is smaller in size. Does not have the Torx 25.
Golden M.
Too big and heavy for cycling
If you really needed some heavy duty leverage, this might be a great tool, but I wouldn't want to carry that boat anchor around in my saddle pack. It was a lot bigger than I imagined from the picture and bigger than I need to make any necessary adjustments on my road bike.

Died: February 12, 2013
Bill Shell, age 69, died peacefully Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at Markey Cancer Center in Lexington, KY following a year-long battle with leukemia. Born April 15, 1943 in Stanford, KY, Bill was the only child of Henry and Laverne Estes Shell.
Bill married his childhood sweetheart, Darla Singleton on June 13, 1964 in Eubank, KY. Two sons, Charles Alan and Joseph Michael, added abundant joy to their marriage.
His activities included earning his private pilot's license in 1969 and flying for a few years. He also enjoyed riding his Honda Gold Wing motorcycle with friends and taking week long trips throughout the United States and Canada. When his beloved granddaughters arrived "Poppaw" began woodworking. His favorite project was making large rocking horses from walnut his dad, Henry had saved from his timber business years before.
Bill became a member of Eubank Baptist Church in 1955. He joined the Army National Guard before graduating from Eubank High School in 1961. He was the retired owner of Bill Shell Plumbing Company in Lexington.

Donations may be made to Hospice of the Bluegrass 832 Nandino Blvd. Ste. J., Lexington, KY 40511.
Morris & Hislope Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
Bill was given extra months of wonderful days because of the generosity of blood and platelet donors. Platelets help the blood clot. I ask you to please consider giving the gift of life to other blood cancer patients at your local blood center. We are so thankful for those who gave.
I thank all who visit Bill's memorial and leave flowers and tender messages. For those who pray, please remember our family.

Feminists irate over game show
ISTANBUL - A new game show claims there is entertainment value in asking men to guess which pair of women has managed to answer a simple trivia question. Women's rights activists react after just two episodes, claiming the show is evidence of the discrimination against women in Turkish society. 'Its format is an attack on women,' the activists say
Women's activists are up in arms over a new television show they argue depicts all women as unintelligent. The show's producer, however, says the show unveils the failure of the Turkish education system in an entertaining way.
The show "Ah be güzelim," which can be roughly translated as "Oh, my lovely," has appeared on private channel atv only twice, but its format has already attracted the ire of women's groups. In the show, three teams composed of two women each answer questions in advance, with three teams of two men each trying to guess which of the women answered the questions right.
In one episode, one of the women's teams did not know what a locksmith did, nor did it recognize a baboon. It didn't know what a solar eclipse was either. When asked to show the southern-most city in the country, one girl picked Cyprus. The women's teams have to come up with answers to the questions and the ridiculous responses the teams come up with are the show's source of entertainment. Women's Media Watch Group, or Mediz, which specifically monitors discrimination against woman in the media, said in a statement on June 29 that the show "insults and encourages insulting women. Its format is an attack on women."
Mediz said in its statement that atv had signed the "Ethical Principles of Broadcasting" document on July 3, 2007, in which the second article says "not to broadcast programs that include discrimination, insults or prejudices based on ethnicity, color, language, religion or gender." Mediz also noted that, "The fourth article says the signatory parties will avoid representing women as objects," and called on atv to cancel the show.
Melek Özman, a member of Mediz, told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review that the program is formatted in a way that presents girls who pretend to be foolish beauties.
"The format is constructed in a way that depicts women as stupid. They are probably choosing women who cannot answer the easiest questions and through them they insult all women," she said.
Nevin Öztop, a representative of the Ankara-based LGBT organization Kaos GL, said, "Gender discrimination on television is not a new issue, but it is done so openly that it has become normal." The program was imported by the production firm "Sinevizyon" and adopted from its original format titled "Pretty Smart."
Doğa Sülen, from Sinevizyon, producer of "Ah be güzelim," said they thought they might get some adverse reactions, but added, "There is no need to think like that since we do not have any kind of discrimination in the format and nobody is acting on the show." He said the general response to the show was positive.
Sülen also agreed the girls' answers were very poor. "It is nothing to do with our show but the problem is our education system. We hold up a mirror to society, unfortunately this is the result." When asked by the Daily News why only women answer the questions, the producer Sülen said they have already filmed two other episodes in which men answer the questions.
Öztop, however, said she did not find this answer satisfactory. "Why does the show's name only mention women?" During the show, host Hale Caneroğlu and competing men shout, "Oh my lovely," when a female team, picked by men to answer the questions correctly, do not give the right answer. The show will be broadcast on atv throughout the summer. Sülen called on people not to focus on the discrimination issue and just watch the program "since it is only an entertainment show."
TV critics
Television critics agree that gender-based discrimination should not become a tool for media outlets to boost their ratings. But their views about the mentioned program differ.
Mesut Yar, television critic at daily Posta, said he found the show very discriminatory against woman. "The show falsely presents men as smarter than women." He said he is against the usual defense of the producers of such shows who often base their arguments on this being just entertainment and the real blame must fall on the participants or even society when something goes wrong. Yar said he believes the format of those kinds of shows should be amended. Yüksel Aytuğ, another television critic from Sabah, said competition shows based on gender have been done before in Turkey and attract higher ratings. "It should be rememberedi however, that there are other programs that insult men, such as the one on Kanal D where woman send their husbands to become better husbands," he said.
Posta, Kanal D and the Daily News are member of the Doğan Media Group. Sabah and atv are part of the Atv-Sabah Media Group.

A limited liability company is a hybrid business entity that combines elements of a corporation and a partnership. All states have their own laws regarding the formation of an LLC, but the following are general pro's and con's unique to most LLCs:
Advantages of an LLC
- LLCs may be formed by a one or multiple persons, who don't need to be U.S. citizens or residents. Members can be a part of other business entities, including corporations, LLCs or foreign entities.
- The management structure of an LLC does not require a board of directors, thus it allows the members to self manage the business. All members may be involved in the day to day management of the business unless the operating agreement specifies that the entity will be managed by managers.
- An LLC can choose to structure itself like a corporation and elect a board of directors and officers and follow other corporate formalities.
- LLC owners are allowed to pass profits and losses to their personal tax returns instead of filing a company tax return.
- By default, LLCs with just one member are taxed as a sole proprietorship.
- By default, limited liability companies with multiple members are treated by the IRS as partnerships.
- An LLC may elect to be taxed as a corporation.
- The LLC itself does not pay taxes, nor is it required to file an income tax return, although an information return must be prepared.
- Members of an LLC have personal liability protection from business creditor claims (with the exception of certain types of fraud and misrepresentation).
- LLCs require less record keeping and paper work than a corporation, do not require annual meetings and are ultimately an easier business entity for a single person to manage.
Disadvantages of an LLC
- In many states, professionals such as attorneys, accountants, architects, doctors, chiropractors and engineers cannot operate in an LLC and alternatively can organize as a Professional Limited Liability Company.
- Some states do not allow a single member LLC.
- An LLC has no retained earnings, so any profits at the end of the entity's fiscal year must be distributed to its members.
- Single and multi-member LLCs that are not electing S or C status must pay self-employment tax.
- Raising outside capital from angel investors and venture capital firms is much more difficult.
- LLCs do not have stock option plans.
An LLC is a newer form of business entity that in recent years has become increasingly popular throughout the world. Its main draw is the fact that the liability of its owners for the debts and obligations of the business is limited to the owners' financial investment. By default, LLC's are taxed as sole proprietorships or partnerships (both pass through entities), are relatively easy and inexpensive to form, and require less record keeping and paperwork than a traditional corporation.

Milford (Ohio) Police officer Russell Kenney is serving a 15-day suspension for having sex with Mayor Amy Brewer while he was on duty, WKRC TV is reporting.
Kenney waived his right to a disciplinary hearing. Here's more from the report:
According to Milford Police Chief Mark Machan, his department used GPS software to determine Officer Kenney's vehicle spent significant amounts of time at Mayor Brewer's home while he was supposed to be working the night shift. Machan also says he has a cruiser camera recording of Kenney having a sexually explicit discussion with a woman named "Amy". The chief says Mayor Brewer acknowledged the sexual relationship after she was confronted with the evidence.

It was early in the 2011 season, after a hard-fought win, and eight-year Summerville head coach Dave Reel was about to address his team with some encouraging words.
SUMMERVILLE BEAR TRAVIS ARENAS is the 2011 Union Democrat All-Area Most Valuable Player. Arenas played on the varsity for Summerville for three seasons. He was the unquestioned leader of the Bears' defense which gave up just 20 goals in 20 2011 games. MAGGIE BECK/UNION DEMOCRAT
Reel looked up at his 6-foot-5 senior star sweeper Travis Arenas.
"I will never, ever forget the look Travis had," said Reel. "His face said it all: Exhaustion, determination and happiness. He was proud of what he and his teammates had accomplished. There were tears of joy running down his face. He's got this huge smile. There's blood running down his legs. He's completely spent but he was so pumped up he kept yelling out encouragement to his teammates. He had great things to say about everyone. He knew he and his teammates had accomplished something — and he was determined that they'd keep it all going."
And did they ever.
Behind the leadership and all-around sensational on-the-field efforts of Arenas, Summerville went 10-3-2 in Mother Lode League play, knocked off No. 1 seed and Trans Valley League-champion Riverbank, 2-0, in the playoffs and advanced to the Final Four of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Championships.
The 2011 Summerville Bears gave up an astonishingly-low 20 goals in 20 games. To put that statistic in perspective, Bret Harte gave up 37 goals in 20 games during its 2010 MLL-championship season. The Frogs were again formidable in 2011 and gave up 53 goals in 22 games.
This season, Sonora had one of its strongest teams in years and the Wildcats yielded 52 goals in 22 games — a very respectable figure.
"Travis was the centerpiece of our defense and he would not let goals go by," said Tanner Anderson, the Bears 2011 top offensive threat.
"Defensively, Travis shot teams down," said Bullfrogs head coach Doug Gilbert. "I never thought I'd ever see one guy completely shut down teams — but Travis became that guy."
And he's our guy, too.
For his overall outstanding play and superior leadership, Travis Arenas is the 2011 Union Democrat All-Area Most Valuable Player.
"Great choice!" proclaimed Gilbert. "Beyond just playing excellent soccer, Travis made everyone else on his team play better."
"There is no doubt in my mind that Travis earned this award," said Reel. "No matter which players we put around him on defense, Travis made sure everyone fell in line, that everything was in sync. The reason you couldn't take that soccer ball from him is because he is calm, confident and he trained so hard to become technically sound.
"He'd keep things simple. If there was a ball in the air, Travis would head that ball out of danger. When people were on the attack, he'd either just swipe it from you or delay you."
"This is a great honor to me and I'm ecstatic about it," said Arenas. "It lets me know that all of the hard work I put in has paid off. When I think back to my sophomore year, I never would have thought I'd be honored like this as a senior."
When Arenas was a sophomore called up by Reel to play varsity, Summerville won just one of 18 contests.
And if anyone back in 2009 would have told then-sophomore Travis Arenas that his senior season wouldn't end until a Final Four contest involving Summerville had been played ...
"I would have completely shrugged off what that person was saying," said Arenas. "I could never have seen anything like this happening. If anyone would have told me, 'In 2011, Summerville will be in the playoffs and make the Final Four,' I'd have said back, 'That would be a miracle.'
"But what happened this season is that our team came together. Unity was the key to our success and each one of us was very coachable. We always gave 100 percent. Our team had a lot of heart."
"The heart of Summerville's team this year was Travis Arenas," said Sonora head coach Lloyd Longeway. "He was their glue and the unquestioned leader of their defense. He doesn't back down from anybody. He won't let you in spaces that you want to get to. He will not allow forwards into the dangerous areas. I definitely think he was the top player in our area this season. He deserves this honor."
Summerville's second game of this season was a 2-0 home win over Sonora.
"That was a big win for us," said Reel. "Sonora has a ton of speed and skill and that win seemed to give our kids confidence."
In its first MLL contest, Summerville blanked eventual-league champion and host Linden.
"From then on," said Arenas, "we knew we had something special with this team."
Teammates Josh Gonsalez, Michael Piech, J.B. Mitchell, Brandon Reel and Anderson are 2011 First-Team All-Area honorees.
Gonsalez and Piech sometimes flanked Arenas as fullbacks. Gonsalez is physical and fearless, and Piech is a ball-thief with lightning speed. At forward, Mitchell and Reel were perpetually on the attack. And Anderson, at center-midfielder, with pinpoint bazooka blasts, was the team closer with 21 goals.
"It's great to have a team leader like Travis," said Anderson, who also had 11 assists. "Travis would yell, but it would always be something positive."
During the 2011 regular season, Summerville twice defeated two-time defending MLL champ Bret Harte (and one contest ended in a tie).
"We were so used to Bret Harte dominating us in the past that, this season, we decided to just treat them like any other team," explained Arenas. "After awhile, we were aware that other teams were worrying about us."
"Travis was like a coach on the field," said Gilbert. "He'd be telling his teammates what to do, but never screaming at them. He could lead because he had his teammates' respect. We'd send Freddy Barboza (First-Team All-Area forward) downfield and Travis would be planning out the defense, and pointing out where everyone needed to be and then Travis, a lot of the times, would be the one to make the defensive stop. He's so athletic, fast and strong. He's so tall and still so coordinated."
"As the field general," said Arenas, "I felt it was my job to make sure everyone attacking us was covered. Personally, my own rule was never, never back down from anyone."
"What makes a great leader? I think, in part, it's when others want to be led by you," said Coach Reel. "My wife (Mary) doesn't comment too much about soccer but she told me this season, 'I like how Travis is always talking out there and encouraging everybody.' She was right. When the forwards made a good play, Travis would yell, 'Nice pass!' or 'Great shot!' and his approval meant so much to his teammates. The truth was that Travis also inspired me."
Regarding the Bears' season-ending team banquet in November, Reel recalled, "Once I started talking about Travis, remembering his face after the games, I broke down in tears like a baby. Travis has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've ever coached.
"Did he leave his mark at Summerville? You bet he did. He left a big impression on any fan or any teammate or any young kid who ever got to watch him play. What he did here will live on because, most definitely, I will never stop talking about Travis Arenas. I will continue to talk about the drive he had, his commitment, his energy, his selflessness, his leadership and what a great human being he is."

The goal of all of the facilities planning is to achieve equity in the Iowa City Community School District. Some schools have been waiting for decades.

Justin Thomas overcame a double bogey on the 14th and some nervous moments on the final hole Sunday to win the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for his first PGA Tour title.
The 22-year-old American holed a 6-foot par putt on the par-five 18th for a one-stroke victory over Australian star Adam Scott. Thomas shot a six-under 66 for a tournament-record 26-under 262 total at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

June 13 -- Last month, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced to the Los Angeles Times that two-thirds of the gas thought to be available for hydraulic fracturing in the U.S. does not exist.
This was a rough blow to those who have touted fracking as a surefire path to energy independence, as was the recent discovery that the Canadian tar sands oil planned to be transported via the Keystone XL pipeline is specifically intended for sale overseas.
But those who relied on these filthy energy sources to make the U.S. energy-independent need not despair: energy independence is still easily attainable. >>View Article

Winter break might present a unique challenge - staying focused while, in most cases, traveling home for the holidays.
Still, it's better than the alternative.
After finishing finals last week, the Arizona Wildcats don't have to go back to class until Jan. 11.
"A lot more free time," guard Kyle Fogg said. "You can get extra treatment if you need it, you can rest more. You can just focus on basketball."
The Wildcats will play four games before returning to school - Thursday against Bryant, and then conference games against Arizona State, USC and UCLA.
"We all came here to play basketball," Fogg said. "And that's what we can really focus on doing during winter break."
Laval Lucas-Perry tried to treat Tuesday night's game like any other, but it was difficult.
The former Arizona Wildcats guard made his first start for Oakland, his third college, on his former home court.
During player introductions, he received a loud ovation from UA fans.
"We just had to take it like another away game," he said. "It was emotional for me, because I played here as a freshman."
Lucas-Perry made 2 of 5 shots, but 7 of 10 free throws, to finish with 11 points.
He had five rebounds and one assist.
"It was fine," he said. "My shots weren't falling. But it's a great tradition, and it feels good to be a part of history."
The big number
The Wildcats eclipsed 80 points at home for the first time this season, kicking in two free tacos for every fan in attendance.
Mr. 1,000
With the second of two made free throws early in Tuesday night's game, senior guard Kyle Fogg reached the 1,000-point mark in his career.
Fogg became the 46th player in UA history to do so and later passed Wildcats radio color commentator Matt Muehlebach, who scored 1,008 career points.
Fogg's next target? Joe Skaisgi and Albert Johnson, who each scored 1,034 for the Wildcats during their careers.
Fogg said the milestone "hadn't really sunk in" after the game.
"Looking back on it after the season, it will be great," Fogg said.
"The way our team is built, you never know who is going to be hot."
Solomon Hill, who scored a career-high 23 points
Francisco Romero, the Wildcats' Spanish-language radio play-by-play voice, pointed out an interesting fact about those in attendance Tuesday night.
Three of the 13,735 fans were major-league baseball announcers.
Romero is the Houston Astros' Spanish play-by-play radio voice. Former Tucson Sidewinders voice Brett Dolan, who now calls Astros games in English, was at McKale Center, too.
And Oakland play-by-play voice Mario Impemba calls Tigers games for Fox Sports Detroit.
Another big number
Wins by Greg Kampe at Oakland, the fifth-most by any active coach at one school. In his 28th year with the Golden Grizzlies, he trails only Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Sacred Heart's Dave Bike, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Troy's Don Maestri.
She got game
The most accomplished player on Oakland's bench might be its director of basketball operations.
Sarah Judd, one of the few female operations directors in the men's game, if the fifth-leading scorer in the history of the Golden Grizzlies' women's program.
She holds the school record for blocked shots, too.
Judd is considered maybe the best Oakland female athlete of the Div. I-A era.
She led her team to their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2002 and graduated in 2003.
She has served as the operations director for six years.
Another quotable
"That is a very talented team, and they were better than us tonight."
Oakland coach Greg Kampe

Spinning around or stagnation - what do osteoblasts and chondroblasts really like?
Department of Orthopaedics, Heinrich-Heine University of Duesseldorf, Germany
European Journal of Medical Research 2010, 15:35-43 doi:10.1186/2047-783X-15-1-35Published: 29 January 2010
The influcence of cytomechanical forces in cellular migration, proliferation and differentation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is still poorly understood in detail.
Human MSCs were isolated and cultivated onto the surface of a 3 × 3 mm porcine collagen I/III carrier. After incubation, cell cultures were transfered to the different cutures systems: regular static tissue flasks (group I), spinner flasks (group II) and rotating wall vessels (group III). Following standard protocols cells were stimulated lineage specific towards the osteogenic and chondrogenic lines. To evaluate the effects of applied cytomechanical forces towards cellular differentiation distinct parameters were measured (morphology, antigen and antigen expression) after a total cultivation period of 21 days in vitro.
Depending on the cultivation technique we found significant differences in both gen and protein expression.
Cytomechanical forces with rotational components strongly influence the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.

We occasionally receive statements from Pennsylvania State Police about the results of special efforts to inspect heavy commercial trucks for state vehicle code compliance. We can't remember a single one that didn't contain a litany of problems, citations and warnings.
Whether it's tractor-trailers, panel trucks, garbage trucks, what have you - the bottom line is that we all face a responsibility to keep our vehicles maintained and safe. The burden is much heavier for commercial vehicles. But so is the responsibility: Heavy commercial vehicles cause more carnage when systems fail, and many of them transport hazardous materials.
So we're at a bit of a loss to explain the wave of animus lately sweeping over Franklin County regarding truck inspections by local police. State vehicle codes are important to enforce for personal vehicles, but not so much for trucks carrying thousands of gallons of gasoline?
C'mon. This is routine stuff, a normal cost of doing business. And any community with a police department can avail itself of truck inspection training by state police, who can only dream of having enough spare time to inspect trucks as often as needed.
First, Mercersburg's business community staged a revolt against what it calls oppressive inspections. (Although to our mind, their problem has less to do with trucks inspections than general concerns about the role of law enforcement in such a unique community.)
And now, Chambersburg might be getting into the act. Mayor Pete Lagiovane recently revealed that authorities had been considering their own truck inspection effort. Lagiovane said the idea had been proposed before things blew up in Mercersburg; maybe so, we have no reason to doubt him.
In any event, it didn't take long - a day, in fact - for letters and statements to arrive accusing the borough of everything from cynical exploitation of sainted commercial operations that would never cut corners to stereotypical big-small-town government run amok.
Maybe everyone should just relax and re-read what Lagionvane actually said.
It's not happening yet. It might never happen. Lagiovane simply said he planned to bring the matter up to get borough council's opinion.
Hardly a matter for hysterics at this point.
Meanwhile, think about how many heavy trucks we see on the road every day, and consider the likelihood that every single one of them is rambling along in tip-top mechanical condition.

Pirates eye match in free-agent crop of pitchers
Pirates/MLB Videos
Stellar pitching was one of baseball's top storylines this year. It's a big reason the San Francisco Giants won the World Series.
It was also the main culprit for the Pirates' 18th straight losing season and their major league-worst 57-105 record.
Their 5.00 team ERA was the highest in the majors. Left-handers Paul Maholm and Zach Duke each had 15 losses, which tied them for second-most among NL pitchers. Ross Ohlendorf, who hoped to build in a mini-breakout in 2009, instead was hampered by injuries and hard luck.
"We must pitch far better in 2011," team president Frank Coonelly said.
So when the free-agent market opens Sunday, the first day players are allowed to negotiate with other clubs, general manager Neal Huntington will begin shopping for help.
"We know we've got some holes to fill and some money to be able to do it," Huntington said. "But, we'll still have to do it intelligently."
As usual, the Pirates will not be bidders for the top arms — Cliff Lee will have to get his millions somewhere else — and will instead eye second-tier starters and those trying to rebuild their value after disappointing seasons.
That could be someone like Doug Davis, 35, who became a free agent when Milwaukee exercised a $1 million buyout instead of his $6.5 million option. Although he put up double-digit wins each year from 2004-07, Davis has a total of just 16 victories over the past three seasons.
Also available is right-hander Jeremy Bonderman, a former first-round draft pick who went 8-10 with a 5.53 ERA this year with the Detroit Tigers. Bonderman, who last week turned 28, missed most of 2008 after having surgery to remove a blood clot. In 2009, he was limited to just eight outings (one start) because of shoulder pain.
Bonderman's situation — a young player with upside who's trying to re-establish himself — would fit with the Pirates. But his price tag — he made $12.5 million each of the past two seasons — likely is beyond the Pirates' budget.
"It's a low-supply, high-demand market," Huntington said. "That lines itself up for some contracts that, as an industry, we'll realize in three or four years weren't very good contracts."
The Pirates' $35 million payroll this year was the lowest in the big leagues. However, Coonelly on Wednesday said the Pirates "have the capacity to have a payroll over $50 million" in 2011. Huntington said the Pirates could afford a big-money starting pitcher — if the conditions are right.
"If the right guy is out there ... ideally, it's a guy who we feel comfortable with for multiple years," Huntington said. "If it's a one-year deal, it also might make sense."
Huntington stressed that he's looking to free agents only as a way to supplement, not reload, the rotation.
"We need some of our guys to continue to develop, and we need some guys to bounce back," Huntington said. "We're not going to be able to go out and find five starting pitchers in a very, very weak free-agent market."
The Pirates could try to bolster their rotation through trades. They did that this season with righty James McDonald, who arrived via a July 31 deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But dealing for pitching prospects, even highly touted arms, is a gamble. Consider Charlie Morton, whose shattered confidence landed him in the minors, and Tim Alderson, who was demoted all the way back to Single-A with his mechanics in disarray.
Huntington's preferred option is to insert homegrown talent into the rotation. But the organization's most promising prospects are at Double-A and lower.Additional Information:
Arms race
Some free-agent pitchers the Pirates might consider:
Jorge de la Rosa, LHP, Rockies : Type A free agent, so he also would cost No. 1 draft pick.
Hiroki Kuroda, RHP, Dodgers : Getting old (36) but still gets Ks and grounders.
Dave Bush, RHP, Brewers : Born in Pittsburgh one month after '79 Series.
Rich Harden, RHP, Rangers : Didn't do much for Rangers and was cut before playoffs.
Kevin Millwood, RHP, Orioles : Wildly inconsistent last three seasons.
Jeremy Bonderman, RHP, Tigers : A solid innings-eater; just turned 28.
Todd Wellemeyer, RHP, Giants : Could be worth giving a minor league contract.
Aaron Harang, RHP, Reds : Can he squeeze out one or two more good years?
Jeff Francis, LHP, Rockies : Age (30) and shoulder injury history are concerns.
Doug Davis, LHP, Brewers : Made just 8 starts with 7.51 ERA this year.
Chris Capuano, LHP, Brewers : Only 9 of 24 outings this season were starts.
Nate Robertson, LHP, Phillies : Went 6-8 with 5.47 ERA before Marlins dumped him.
Chris Young, RHP, Padres : Former Pirates prospect battled injuries lately
Rich Hill, LHP, Red Sox : Has made just 18 starts over past 3 seasons.

Now you've piqued my interest. Why would a beam splitter be incorporated into a lens? What purpose would it serve?
Early three strip Technicolor cameras had beam splitters in the body of the camera. A set of three color separation negatives were exposed simultaneously on these cameras, and they all needed to be in perfect register. Canon's Pellix along with a couple of later models had a beam splitter in the body in place of a moving mirror so it would work with an ultra fast (for the time) motor drive (reference here). As a plus, it could be used with non retrofocus wide angle lenses where clearance would be a problem, without flipping the mirror up and blacking out the viewfinder. Nikon made a few specialty cameras using the same technology too, and for pretty much the same reasons. The drawback was a dim viewfinder and reduced light transmission to the film plane. But a beam splitter inside a lens designed to cast a single image? Doesn't make sense.

Why would I sign... Cause i think the UN cares about public opinion, or because my name isnt yet on enough databases of dissidents to round up when the time comes?
Google warns UN's telecom treaty conference threatens 'free and open Internet' - Yahoo! News IndiaGoogle has warned that upcoming United Nations-organized conference threatens 'free and open Internet'.Government representatives are set to agree on a new information and communications treaty in December.
It has been claimed that some countries will try to wrest oversight of the Internet's technical specifications and domain name system from US bodies to an international organization, the BBC reports.
"The [UN agency] International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is bringing together regulators from around the world to renegotiate a decades-old communications treaty," Google wrote on its Take Action site.
"Some proposals could permit governments to censor legitimate speech - or even allow them to cut off internet access," it said.
"Other proposals would require services like YouTube, Facebook, and Skype to pay new tolls in order to reach people across borders. This could limit access to information - particularly in emerging markets," it added.
According to the report, the UN has, however, said there would be consensus before any change was agreed.
Google has asked web users to add their name to an online petition to support its view.
Google added it was concerned that 'only governments have a voice at the ITU' and not companies or others who had a stake in the net.
It concluded that the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) was 'the wrong place' to make decisions about the Internet's future, the report said.
Are you going to sign the google petition?

I can understand their concerns. Free speech lets the cat out of the bag regarding the massive amounts of corruption and dirty deals that take place in governments around the world. It is hard to hide from the Internet. The more corrupt, oppressive and fragile a government is, the more they want to curtail free speech.
If you think the Internet has not added to the large amount of unrest in the world, you probably have not been paying attention. The web is the easiest way there is to spread rumors and nonsense, as well as hard facts and truth.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin
Completely agreed. The other thing the internet is being used for a lot is straight up fear mongering. I have seen plenty of completely false statements go viral in form of videos and blog posts. And once they start being shared on Facebook and Twitter, people seem to start believing them the more they get shared.

The flipside of Mikes argument is that people see a few fakes and they become desensitized to news they simply would rather not believe... Even if it IS verfiably true based on primary sources.

I keep seeing compelling pictures claiming to be atrocities committed by the IDF in Gaza, but then the pictures turn out to be cropped photos of things that took place elsewhere years ago or were staged for effect. Any day we me see pictures of a dead guy that looks suspiciously like a still shot from Star Wars accompanied by a caption accusing Israel of employing lightsabers against civilians.
Then again i told a guy the other day about the US government purchasing military grade hardware for innocuous domestic agencies and he laughed and made a dismissive remark about people watching Fox News. In fact the information came from the official GSA website and tapes released by the US government.
Credibility is a tough thing to verify on the net. "Useful idiots" will repeat lies without knowing they do so, provided those lies conform to their predisposed opinion. Meanwhile truth gets buried in the process, and putting the government in the position of becoming the arbiter of truth is a pretty pollyanaesque thing to do given our government and all others can and will lie on their own behalf.
Truth is found by research of primary documents, not by sitting on Santa Govs lap and asking him to hand it to us.

Cisco today axed its Flip camera division in a bid to bring the company back into shape. The company provided few details but said its new "network-centric platform strategy" meant the former Pure Digital group had to be closed. Those on the FlipShare service would be supported through a "transition plan," though Cisco didn't say what that was.

This is the most realistic flame effect you will find! The OptiMyst technology creates the illusion of flames with water vapors and light reflecting off the rotating motor. The Amsden will also give you up to 400 sq feet of supplemental heat. The river rock bed adds to the contemporary look. It comes with an optional back - remove it and you have the only see through fireplace that I am aware of - absolutely stunning!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Oh. Em. Gee. I LOVE this color. It's a color that would look good on all skin types. Perfect for any season! I didn't have a problem with the polish streaking.
Age: 19-24

Essie usually takes a couple coats to apply an some start out streaky but, it always goes opaque after at two coats. I think it is worth it because it isn't a nail polish that chips easy it really does last. Plus this color is just freaking gorgeous.

I agree with pretty much everything the previous reviewer said about this polish and Essie in general. I *love* the color of MCA - it's a pastel aqua blue green. It really does remind me of the green of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But I can't abide the streaky, gloopy formula. I have not had the best of luck with Essie polishes in general (and I've tried many colors, having the best luck with the darker shades and Mademoiselle) and MCA is another example of why. I just think they are overpriced and very hit or miss as far as quality (much more so than OPI or China Glaze imo). I will keep trying different colors since I have discovered a few gems in the line, but this one is going up for swap.

I'm a neutrals girls but something abt this blueish-minty-green really drew me in. Part of me doesn't like it bc its too flashy and stark against my skin, part of me loves it for that exact reason. It's a really unique and fun color.
HOWEVER, the application is a bit of a nightmare. As much as I want to be happy with this purchase, I can't be! It's just SO high maintenance. It takes so much work to get it to apply even and look neat. If I wipe off the excess it becomes too thin and streaky looking but if I don't it starts gooping up and dripping everywhere. Too much gets on the nail and it's a huge mess. It gets all over my cuticles. To add insult to injury, it chips within 2 days. It's pretty much up there, in terms of terrible consistency, with Essie's Van'dgo which I think is the worst Essie polish I've even purchased. Unless you're an expert @ applying nailpolish or really have a lot of patience, I recommend you not buy this color.
Essie is SO hit and miss for me in terms of quality. Wish I could return it but instead It's sitting in my nailpolish box taking up space and collecting dust. REGRET.

This is my favorite polish to wear. I always loved mint green creme shades and this is the best. It lasts and covers my nails perfectly in 2 coats, it dries super fast also. It was my 1st Essie purchase and I'm very happy to try more shades now!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This is a beautiful nail polish. The color is unique and very pretty. It applies very smoothly and is opaque in 2 coats. Wearing this polish i have been asked if I got my nails done because it is so smooth and shiny. The color is so pretty I have even gifted bottles to a few of my friends. You need it!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm

This is the worst polish I have used in terms of application. The color is a bit more blue than "minty". This is so goopy, thick and streaky. This specific polish kind of turned me off Essie :/. Sigh.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine

I was really late to the party with this one. I wound up getting a few of the many dupes that are running around these days, and they are nice, but MCA really is worth the purchase. It's got this tiny bit of blue running through it that sets it appart from the other mint greens, but the blue isn't so intense that it sends MCA into turquoise territiory. It's unique, beautiful, and earns it's spot in my collection. :)

The boyfriend's sister in law gifted me this particular shade because she knew I was on the hunt for a Chanel Jade lookalike. It's very similar, lovely and great quality. You can't go wrong with Essie.

Love love LOOOOOVE this nail polish. I searched high and low for it last year when it came out (winter 2010), but I could only find the mini version in a gift package (which I knew wasn't going to be enough). I finally found the full version last winter and I couldn't have been happier!
I describe the colour as more of a robin's egg blue than seafoam or mint green, because it does look a bit more blue. That being said it still has a minty-green feel to it. I get fantastic coverage with two coats, and like any other Essie nail polish I've tried the lasting power even without a top coat is great.
This is a great colour for spring (mint greens, along with lilacs, oranges, and yellows are really hot for spring right now!) and it's a colour that I like to wear when transitioning from winter to spring as a nice pick-me-up :)
Will definitely repurchase when I run out!

Two men sentenced to life for rape get resentencing after Supreme Court ruling
UPDATE: Paul re-sentenced to 27 years in prison
Two of the four teenagers who were involved in the kidnapping and rape of a 17-year-old girl are being resentenced for their crimes.
When the attack, rape and carjacking occurred in 1994, the victim was a student visiting West Palm Beach from Switzerland. Tuesday morning, a resentencing hearing began for Emmanuel Paul and David Slocum, who were both 16 at the time of the crime.
The victim was grabbed at gunpoint and raped on North Flagler Drive. Paul and Slocum were sentenced to life in prison -- but that could change soon.
A Florida Supreme Court ruling in 2010 made it illegal to sentence juveniles to life without parole for crimes other than murder.
The victim, Jenny Clark, said she was comfortable showing her face and her name on television because she believes her purpose is to bring hope and strength to other women. She said the idea of her attackers walking free makes her "nauseous."
Clark described for the court how her life has been affected since the crime. She said she believes she would have been a bigger success in life had she not been attacked.
Two detectives spoke in open court Tuesday, both suggested the maximum sentence to Judge Garrison, who was the sentencing judge in the original case. Garrison told the court that during the court case in 1995, "At that point, I don't think I'd ever heard a more horrific story, until I heard the case of Mr. Slocum."
The defendants will have their sides of the case heard in mid-December. It is unclear when the new sentences will be passed down.

A Green Workplace
The NM Center on Law and Poverty maintains an energy-conscious, green workplace. We use 100% recycled paper, toilet paper and toner cartridges. We use paper on both sides and recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass. We use cloth towels, napkins and rags and washable dinner ware and utensils rather than disposable products. At meetings, rather than offer plastic water bottles, we bring glasses and water in 2½ gallon containers. Thanks to support received through the PNM Resources Foundation, the Center is taking steps to improve our energy efficiency, cut down on energy waste, and reduce our water consumption. With funding provided by PNM's "Reduce Your Use" grant program, the Center purchased and installed energy-efficient appliances, programmable thermostats, and water-saving sinks. We also hired a consultant to conduct an energy audit of our office space. The audit helped identify several larger structural improvements that we must make to become even more energy efficient in the future. We've already implemented two of the audit's recommendations. First, we replaced all of our old, single-paned, leaky glass windows with new, more efficient double-paned vinyl windows. We also added insulation to the ceiling of one of our office buildings.
Thanks again to the PNM Foundation for providing the resources to make these important energy-saving improvements possible.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee's Pat Summitt is among a dozen recipients of AARP The Magazine's Inspire Awards in the wake of the coach's announcement that she has dementia.
According to AARP, the awards pay tribute to people who inspire action in others.
Summitt has said she decided to reveal she'd been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, because she wanted others to understand that they could continue to live their life with the disease. The 59-year-old Summitt has led the Lady Volunteers to eight national championships and says she is determined to continue to coach as long as she is able.
Other Inspire Awards recipients include conservationist Jane Goodall, late Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs, U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye and country music singer Toby Keith.

Britton, SD: The funeral for lifelong Marshall County resident, Viola Quamen, will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 29, 2013 at the Pleasant Valley Lutheran Church of rural Kidder, SD.
Visitation will be 4-7:00 p.m. Friday at the Price Funeral Chapel of Britton, with a 7:00 p.m. prayer service.
Viola passed away Monday, June 24, 2013 at the Marshall County Healthcare Center in Britton at the age of 95.
Viola Verna Satrang was born February 28, 1918 on the Satrang farm in Victor Township of Marshall County, SD to Carl Satrang and Helga (Brubakken) Satrang. As a youngster, she grew up on the farm and attended rural Marshall County schools. She graduated from Britton High School before receiving her Teacher's Certificate at Northern Normal in Aberdeen. After receiving her education, Viola taught rural Marshall County schools for ten years.
On November 24, 1946 she married Alvin Richard Quamen. They moved to the Ada Bosse farm in White Township, and bought the farm in 1948. Alvin passed away on January 31, 2002, and Viola continued to make her home on the farm with her son, Ivin.
Viola was an active member of the Pleasant Valley Lutheran Church of rural Kidder. She had served as Sunday School Superintendent for many years, belonged to the ladies organization there and was an active participant in the quilting group. She also was a life member of the Kidder American Legion Auxiliary.
As a farmwife and mother, Viola was always busy with something. For many years she planted and tended a large garden and canned its produce. She was an excellent baker and enjoyed crocheting. Viola was happiest just being around people, and truly loved her family and friends.
Grateful for having shared her life are her two children: Alice Taylor of New Hope, MN; Ivin Quamen of Britton; two granddaughters: Kristin Taylor and Erica Taylor; a brother, Tollof Satrang of Sisseton and a number of nieces, nephews and their families.
Preceding her in death were her parents, her husband, a son, Richard Quamen and seven brothers: Gilman, Clarence, Julian, Carl Jr., Arthur, Harry and Ingvald Satrang as well as two brothers in infancy.
Condolences may be directed to the family in care of Ivin Quamen - 42902 103rd Street - Britton, SD 57430.

Tony Christie – Steal The Sun (Music Video)
As well as producing a short promotional video for the Afghan Heroes charity single by Tony Christie, we were also lucky enough to be given the task of creating a full length music video for the track. Shot on location at Air Studios in London, the music video documents the entire recording process from beginning to end, featuring The Royal Marines Band and of course, Tony Christie himself.
We incorporated stock footage of soldiers serving in Afghanistan throughout the video, along with stills of the dedicated women behind the charity who sadly lost their loved ones in the war. Branding, credits and personal messages were also added to the beginning and end of the video upon the clients request.
It's still possible to download the charity single via iTunes. Click the link below:

Reese Witherspoon said her and Jennifer Aniston make out sometimes. According to Hollywood Life,actress Reese Witherspoon took to the stage last night to present an award to Jennifer Aniston at the ELLE's 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute,and she made a funny speech like she always does. However,this time,it was really interesting.
She said of Jennifer, there aren't that many people who actually have the incredible combination of sex appeal and lovability. "You just want to get your nails done with her and you want to make out with her,at least I do. And that's what we do sometimes on Saturdays. First we get our nails done,so cute! and then we make out. It's totally awesome."
Lol! I like Reese. She always seems like a ball of energy,and ready to crack the craziest jokes. Follow us on Facebook by Clicking Here. Follow us on Twitter by Clicking Here.

Italy announces arrest in Rome of suspect in London bombing
The Associated Press
ROME- A Somali man believed to be one of the four suspects in the July 21 bombing attempts in London was arrested Friday in Rome, Italy's interior minister said.
Earlier, police in London arrested three men in the city's Notting Hill neighborhood and said they were all linked to the failed July 21 attacks on three underground trains and a bus in the British capital. Police did not identify the suspects, but British broadcast media reported that at least two of the three men being sought in the failed bombings had been taken into custody.

Saturday, November 24, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Despite a first half in which nothing went right for Florida State, the No. 10 Seminoles found themselves in control early in the fourth quarter, inching toward a third straight victory over No. 4 Florida.
Then in one moment, one hit, it all unraveled.
With less than 13 minutes to play Saturday, Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison laid a thundering lick on Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel, forcing a fumble that Dominique Easley recovered for the Gators.
On the next play, Mike Gillislee ran 37 yards for touchdown and Florida scored 24 consecutive points to beat the Seminoles 37-26 at Doak Campbell Stadium.
"I think that was kind of the culmination of our football season," Gators coach Will Muschamp said. "Very fitting fashion."
Muschamp, who evened his record against FSU to 1-1, then praised Morrison, a reserve player who was thrust into action after an injury to starter Jelani Jenkins.
"Antonio's a violent, physical football player," Muschamp said. "He's a guy that knocks the ball off a lot of people."
Florida State turned the ball over five times, four by Manuel, who threw three interceptions and had the big fumble.
Manuel, who missed a series after Morrison's big hit, ran 22 yards for a touchdown on the last play of the game.
After the game, Manuel said he'd had the wind knocked out of him but that he also was hit in the head.
"Not one of his more stellar performances," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "We have to do a better job of coaching him. … He was very emotional before the game and I think he wanted to play well very badly.
"Sometimes you try too hard."
The Gators (12-1) dominated for much of the two quarters and were unfortunate not to lead by more than 13-3 at halftime.
Florida possessed the ball for 21:58 in the first half but had only two field goals by Caleb Sturgis and Gillislee's 9-yard touchdown run to show for it.
Dustin Hopkins' 50-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter appeared innocuous, but it started a run of 20 consecutive points by Florida State.
The Seminoles had the ball and momentum when Morrison jarred the fumble loose. After Gillislee's go-ahead touchdown, backup Clint Trickett entered the game but could muster no more than a three-and-out.
"That game was all momentum," Fisher said. " … We changed it and they got momentum back in the fourth quarter -- and we still had opportunities."
Florida's Marcus Roberson returned the ensuing punt to Florida State's 29-yard line, and five plays later Jeff Driskel threw his only touchdown pass, a 14-yarder to Quinton Dunbar that effectively sealed the victory.
Using a variety of short and intermediate passes, Driskel completed 15 of 24 for 147 yards and a touchdown.
Florida touched up Florida State for 243 yards on the ground, led by Gillislee's 140 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Jones added another 81 yards and a touchdown.
With their sixth 11-1 start in the books, the Gators were holding out hope to be in the national-championship conversation.
Florida owns three victories over teams ranked in the top 10 of the Bowl Championship Series standings.
NOTES: Florida's 37 points matched the most that FSU has allowed this season. … The victory marked Florida's eighth come-from-behind victory of the season and its third in the foruth quarter. … Gillislee became the first Florida running back to reach the 1,000-yard plateau since Ciatrick Fason in 2004. … Fisher suffered his first loss to one of FSU's rivals, Florida and Miami, since taking over in 2010. FSU is 5-1 against the two under Fisher. … Junior defensive end Bjoern Werner of Florida State had 2 1/2 sacks, giving him 12 in 2012 with two games remaining. Werner's season is the seventh best all time at Florida State. … Dustin Hopkins' 53-yard field goal gave him 87 for his career, a number that tied Georgia's Billy Bennett for the most field goals in Football Bowl Subdivision history. … Rodney Smith had a four-yard reception in the second quarter for Florida State, extending his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 37 games, one shy of the school record.
