The most Helpful Favourable review
Last winter I passed by a group of Gujrati speaking ladies , one of whom was saying " Fada ni khichdi kari hathi. Bahu fine laagi.. " I'd never heard the name nor did I know what the main ingredient was . A general (superficial) google search later, I initially dismissed it as a fanciful name for the 'namkeen dalia ", I'd been making.
Out of curiosity for Tarla aunty's version and of course having successfully attempted some of her recipes earlier, I checked the recipe on this website and noticed that the ingredients were considerably different although the method was probably simpler than what I was doing. What I was cooking was wholesome but the gujarati version as interpreted by Tarla aunty was exactly what you could call a complete one dish meal with the nutrients also intact.
If I have the vegetables required, then this is what I cook on the spur. The best part is that I still haven't tasted it made by an authentic gujarati or even at a restaurant. All the same it tasted good each time I made it and my family agrees. Thank-you Tarla aunty!

President Barack Obama – Thank You For Your Leadership
He really needs to write his own speeches more often. Bravo, bravo Mr. President.
Sometimes I seriously think he reads this blog or even more, my mind. I guess that is why I support him like I do. I read his two books and he is a very good writer and thinker. I really wish everyone would read his books before judging him as a person or the caricature that the right has painted him as. He is a true leader, whether some fight like hell not to be led by him or try to throw roadblocks in the way of his leadership, he perseveres and rises above it. Anyone who underestimates him, does so at their peril.
I wonder what sort of depths Rush, Glenn and Sarah will sink to now…..you know it has to drive them absolutely nuts that he is so good at his job. In Rush's case, of course, it's because he is black. But Sarah and Glenn I think are just opportunistic and too fucking stupid to really know what they think. There doesn't seem to be a bottom to how low they will go.
More on the vitriol later, lots of good stuff out there on the internets.

Our President did a great job last night, which even right-wing columnist Charles Krauthammer found commendable, as did Fox News' Brit Hume, and Chris Wallace. (In reading some right blogs they are now getting some hate, too).
I too was so "blown away" by the President's speech, that I didn't notice the applause, even cheering.
Krauthammer's latest column states that Palin, Limbaugh, and Beck et al are being "libeled" by the left.
Comment by Grant in Texas | January 13, 2011 |
The Mayor of Tucson was just interviewed by Dylan Ratigan and he had high praises for the President's speech. The mayor was not offended by the joyous tone of the audience saying there is a time to grieve and people will continue to do so in their own time, but there is also a time to return to normal life and felt the service indicated that needed turning point has begun.
I was also inspired by the humble Daniel Hernandez's speech. Although only an intern a week on the job, he has known Giffords for a couple of years partly through her support of the GLBT community in Tucson (a reason she switched from being Republican to Democratic several years ago?)
Comment by Grant in Texas | January 13, 2011 |
I'm pretty pissed at how incredibly stupid the American public really is.
Showing yet again how the public is incredibly stupid and is blinded by whatever the media preaches.
Comment by Jeff | January 13, 2011 |
Good point. Anyone who doesn't support Our President and Our Party is obvious stupid and shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Comment by Orson P. | January 14, 2011 |
boy you are a little troll aren't you? How old are you btw 5? I wasn't saying they shouldn't be allowed to vote I was saying simply that the public is being mislead and will continue to be mislead on where the real issues are.
Comment by Jeff | January 14, 2011 |
i was morbidly curious about what the firebaggers felt about the speech….big fracking mistake
Comment by 7thangel | January 13, 2011 |
I think we all owe Our President and Our Party a vote for thanks for his wonderful historic words. I think we also owe Extreeme Liberral a vote of thanks for his wonderful support of Our Party and for deleting trolls and banning firebagger comments so we all have a safe place to blog. THANKS EL!
Comment by Orson P. | January 14, 2011 |
I support the statement by EL about making this an open forum. Although we disagree on some issues, OK most issues because he is just wrong, he just insults me and lets me post.
Comment by atlanta ralph | January 14, 2011 |
I know that it doesn't mean much to many on here but I'd like to address something McCain said recently. I know we don't like McCain and I myself cant stand the man at times but than their are times he puzzles me and actually makes me think that he is actually a good person whose been sort of befuddled with politics.
I just hope that in time that at some point we can all come together but of course that's probably a hopeless liberal dream of mine that probably wont happen.

Alex Avila is hugged by Prince Fielder at home plate after his walk-off winning two-run home for a 13-12 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ/DFP
It's only three games in and we're already running low on interjections. "Wow!" doesn't suffice any longer as it pertains to the offensive possibilities of the Tigers.
"This was the craziest game that I had ever played in," Alex Avila declared after Sunday's 13-12, 11-inning win.
Here's a little friendly advice: Leave Comerica Park at your own risk when the Tigers trail approaching their last at-bats. "That's especially true," Avila said, "with Miggy and Prince coming up."
It also was true with the young catcher, who launched a dramatic blast into the late Easter afternoon air, giving the Tigers their second unimaginable comeback of the day. Twice, they stared at multi-run final at-bat deficits that sent the nonbelievers heading for the exits and their holiday festivities. And twice, they recovered with a display of high theater, turning what remains a pitching-friendly park into baseball's version of Cape Canaveral.
Miguel Cabrera tied it in the bottom of the ninth with the Tigers trailing, 10-7, and Avila won it in the bottom of the 11th with the Tigers training, 12-11.
"We know what we're capable of doing with this lineup," Avila said. "We know that we're never really out of any game with the hitters that we have.
"But this was probably one of those occasions that might have even amazed us a little bit."
The Tigers and Red Sox combined for 25 runs, 35 hits and 11 pitching changes in a nearly five-hour marathon.
The Tigers aren't going to score 23 runs for successive games very often, but in some respects, Sunday is how it should look on most nights. The games will be long, the runs plentiful. The Tigers will detonate scoreboards with their offensive proclivity. Whenever Cabrera and Prince Fielder step up to the plate, lumber in hand and malice against the baseball in their hearts, everything in this town will stop and all will pay attention.
Games like these are tremendous for the fans, especially those keeping score with thick enough pencil leads to mark all the runs. But these games are not easy for a manager like Jim Leyland, who's often more comfortable recognizing the dark cloud within the sunny horizon.
"Our pitching was horrible," he said afterward.
He's not apologizing for pasting good Boston starting pitching over the weekend. His is a team certainly capable of scoring runs in bunches, but he also knows baseball ultimately remains a game of steady pitching and defense. It doesn't matter how electrifying the offense, the ultimate key to any long-range success will be the Tigers' ability in pulling the plug on the opposing team's power.
Leyland succinctly phrased it that if the Tigers thought all they needed to do was wield a big stick, they were going to get their butts kicked. Max Scherzer was terrible Sunday. And Doug Fister will miss at least a couple of weeks with a strained muscle in his side.
"Pitching is the one constant," Leyland said. "We're going to have days like the last two when everything's jumping off the bat, and that's great. But there are going to come times when we're not going to be able to score anything, and that's when you're going to need your pitching to hold you together."
But there's nothing wrong -- for the time being -- impressing everyone with mammoth shots that tease the imagination of how explosive this team could become.

In search of the loci for sex differences in throwing: the effects of physical size and differential recruitment rates on high levels of dart performance.
Duffy, Linda Jane and Ericsson, K. Anders and Baluch, Bahman (2007) In search of the loci for sex differences in throwing: the effects of physical size and differential recruitment rates on high levels of dart performance. Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 78 (1). pp. 71-78. ISSN 0270-1367
Full text is not in this repository.
Contemporary accounts of sex differences in perceptual-motor performance differ in their emphasis on nature and nurture. Study 1 examined the effect of extensive training on one of the largest sex differences, namely accuracy in dart throwing, and found that physical differences in height and reach could not explain sex differences in regional/national level dart players. Study 2 rejected accounts of sex differences based on participation rates by showing that male players recruited from a relatively small pool of club players were superior to the best female players selected from a much larger pool at the international level. Alternative accounts of the source of sex differences in darts, based on male and female players' differential development and practice histories, are discussed.

Family of shooting victim considers retaliation
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - Hours after the murder of one of their relatives, family members of 36-year-old Deon Kinchen chased a group of men they believed to be the shooters.
Kinchen was found shot dead in a parking lot at the corner of Convention Street and North 12th around 1:30am Tuesday morning. His sister arrived to the scene an hour later and said he had been shot five times.
The family wanted to meet News 2 at the scene to tell Kinchen's life story. Minutes after arriving, five people took off down the street chasing who they said killed their brother.
One man screamed, "c'mon man, with that gun." And a woman yelled, "He's gonna kill him. He's gonna kill him. Oh lord Jesus. Call 911. Call the police. He's gonna kill him."
Eventually, no one was shot, and the group returned to their cars and left. We met back up with them at another house a short time later. Kinchen's older brother, Clarence, was still contemplating retaliation.
"I love my brother and justice gonna be done for him. I'm gonna make sure of it. If the police don't do it, I'm gonna do it," Kinchen said.
In a news release, police said they have no suspects or a motive, yet the family believes they know exactly who did it.

|Reconciling the omnivory-stability debate.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22173458 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Abstract Despite attempts at reconciliation, the role of omnivory in food web stability remains unclear. Here we develop a novel community matrix approach that is analogous to the bifurcation method of modular food web theory to show that the stability of omnivorous food chains depends critically on interaction strength. We find that there are only six possible ways that omnivorous interaction strengths can influence the stability of linear food chains. The results from these six cases suggest that: (1) strong omnivory is always destabilizing, (2) stabilization by weak to intermediate omnivorous interaction strengths dominates the set of possible stability responses, and, (3) omnivory can be occasionally strictly destabilizing or intermittently destabilizing. We then revisit the classical results of Pimm and Lawton to show that although their parameterization tends to produce a low percentage of stable omnivorous webs, the same parameterization shows strong theoretical support for the weak interaction effect. Finally, we end by arguing that our current empirical knowledge of omnivory resonates with this general theory.

Carey Price continues to show Montreal Canadiens brass that it was the right move to keep him around.
Price made 34 saves and came within 73 seconds of his fourth shutout in his last nine starts as the Habs skated away with a 3-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre on Saturday night.
Rested for just the second time this season on Friday (a 3-0 loss at Atlanta), Price came within 1:13 of another shutout before Jordan Leopold spoiled it.
"We played pretty hard tonight," Price said. "We all wanted to bounce back from (Friday) night's game and I thought everybody came out with the right mentality and played hard the whole game."
Brian Gionta had a pair of goals and an assist and Andrei Kostitsyn had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens, who won for the seventh time in their last 10 games.
Gionta set up Kostitsyn's goal during a two-man advantage in the first, then added goals 4:20 apart in the second to help the Canadiens rebound from Friday's loss. Tomas Plekanec also contributed with a pair of assists.
"I thought it was a much better effort ... we couldn't really get much going against Atlanta," Gionta said. "Right from the start, we were jumping and we made things happen."
Ryan Miller stopped 30 shots for Buffalo, which beat Toronto 3-1 in Friday but has lost four of six.
"The opportunities were there," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "You can't stand here and talk about it any more, though. Some of those have got to turn. I mean, Price has been on his game, he played well, but we did have a couple that I thought, 'If we hit the right spot, we're going to score."'
The Canadiens took advantage of a lengthy 5-on-3 opportunity in the first to open the scoring. Sabres defenseman Andrej Sekera put the puck over the glass at 12:32, just 22 seconds after Steve Montador was called for hooking. Kostitsyn went to his backhand to put away a rebound of Gionta's shot from the left edge of the crease for his ninth goal at 13:41.
"We talk about not taking penalties on a nightly basis, especially in here, where they kind of thrive on that," Miller said. "We got off on the wrong foot."
Kostitsyn got his second point when he and Gionta went in on a 2-on-1 in the second. Gionta worked a give-and-go with Kostitsyn and put a shot past Miller off the return pass to make it 2-0 12:26 into the middle period. Plekanec, who assisted on Kostitsyn's goal, set up Gionta's second goal of the period at 16:46.
"Like I've said all along getting the chances, getting the opportunities is the big thing," Gionta said. "They'll find their way in eventually."
Senators 3, Maple Leafs 0 | HIGHLIGHTS
Mike Fisher scored twice and Brian Elliott made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season as Ottawa beat Toronto at Scotiabank Place.
The line of Fisher, Alex Kovalev and Milan Michalek accounted for all the scoring, with Kovalev scoring the other goal and adding 2 assists and Michalek finishing with 2 assists.
The Senators (11-12-1) ended a two-game losing streak, as Elliott made his first start in four games.
"Not a lot of Grade-A scoring chances ... we did a great job," Elliott said. "It was huge. Playing the Leafs at home, it's always a good atmosphere. Hopefully we can keep it going."
Jonas Gustavsson made 25 saves for Toronto, which has lost three of its last four.
"I don't know if I'd call it frustrating, but it's tough for all of us," Gustavsson said. "We had some scoring opportunities, but the puck wasn't bouncing for us. We just have to keep working the same way, try to improve myself and the other guys will do their part."
Kovalev opened the scoring late in the first period, collecting a rebound and scoring on the game's first power-play opportunity.
"It's nice to see those guys score goals," center Jason Spezza said. "They've had a lot of chances lately and it's nice to see them get rewarded."
Fisher made it 2-0 at 12:51 of the second, waiting for Gustavsson to commit before slipping a backhander past the goalie. With a minute left in the period, scored on a 2-on-1 break.
Fisher's goals we're just his second and third in the past 12 games and his first points in four games.
"When you're coming out of little slumps and you have one good (game) where you're almost feeling it and the next game you're right there, that's what happened," Fisher said.
Panthers 4, Lightning 3 (SO) | HIGHLIGHTS
Stephen Weiss scored in the fourth round of a shootout as Florida edged Tampa Bay at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Radek Dvorak scored on a penalty shot, and Dmitry Kulikov and Shawn Matthias also scored in regulation for the Panthers, who stopped a three-game losing streak. Florida went 0-for-4 on the power play and has failed to score in 37 straight opportunities.
"We needed that, probably, more than they did," Florida coach Peter DeBoer said. "We played some tight games this week and managed to find a way to lose them, so it was an important two points for us. I think the guys wanted to make sure that we worked for 60 minutes to get an opportunity to win the game."
Teddy Purcell, Dana Tyrell and Sean Bergenheim scored for Tampa Bay.
Both teams were coming off shutout losses Friday. Tampa Bay was beaten 6-0 in Washington, while the Panthers were blanked 3-0 at home by the New York Rangers.
"I thought our effort was there," Tampa Bay forward Martin St. Louis said. "We gave them a couple of their goals. We didn't make it hard enough for them to get their goals."
Panthers goalie Tomas Vokoun made 34 saves and stopped all four Tampa Bay attempts in the shootout, while Dan Ellis stopped 24 shots for the Lightning.
Florida went up 3-2 on Matthias' goal at 8:31 of third, but Bergenheim pulled the Lightning even with backhand rebound goal with 6:45 left.
"I thought we played really well for 60 minutes, as did they," Weiss said. "We competed back and forth all night."
Purcell put the Lightning up 1-0 with a power-play goal from the low slot off a pass from Steven Stamkos at 10:21 of the first. Stamkos has 18 assists and 39 points this season.
Tyrell made it 2-0 on a rebound goal with 9:48 left in the second.
Dvorak got the Panthers to 2-1 on a shorthanded penalty-shot goal at 12:22 of the second that ended Florida's goal drought at 130 minutes, 8 seconds. The Lightning have allowed six shorthanded goals this season.
"That turned the game around, obviously," Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said.
Kulikov tied at 2 from the low right circle 3:08 into the third. He stopped a personal stretch of not scoring a goal in 65 straight games, dating exactly one year to Nov. 27, 2009, against Toronto.
"It's tough when you give up a lead like that," Ellis said. "We've got to bear down and close that game."
Stars 2, Blues 1 | HIGHLIGHTS
Kari Lehtonen made 35 saves and Jamie Benn scored another big goal as Dallas completed a home-and-home sweep by beating St. Louis at the Scottrade Center.
The Stars rallied in the third period for the second straight night, beating Jaroslav Halak on two of their first five shots. Benn tied it and Loui Eriksson scored on a power play for the lead at 5:05.
B.J. Crombeen scored late in the second period for the Blues, who became the last NHL team to lose in regulation at home. St. Louis has 17 points in its first 10 home games, going 8-1-1.
Benn has five goals in 19 games, including a shorthanded breakaway Friday in Dallas' 3-2 win.
"You don't want to have to do that all the time, and certainly we don't want to make a habit of it. But it's nice to know that you can," Stars coach Marc Crawford said of the back-to-back third-period comebacks. "I don't think it's a huge surprise that the Blues started with such a fury."
Crombeen scored his first goal in 10 games late in the second period for the Blues, who outshot Dallas 36-23. But the Stars blanked the top line of David Backes, Andy McDonald and Brad Boyes, which had totaled 28 points the previous eight games. Halak started in goal for the second straight night and had 21 saves.
The Stars have won three in a row overall and evened their road record at 5-5-0.
The lone Blues goal came after Lehtonen's apparent save on a drive by Patrik Berglund. The puck slowly trickled between the goalie's pads and Crombeen swept in for an easy tap-in at 18:49 of the second. It also was his first goal against the franchise that waived him in November 2008.
"I tried during the intermission to kind of get my things together, and I made some good saves," Lehtonen said. "I try to remember those things rather than the goal. It was nice that I didn't touch the puck before we scored those two goals."
The Blues had a whopping 13-4 shots advantage in the first, although their best chance came on one that didn't count when Chris Porter's backhander from the side of the net slid through the crease.
"It's a tough one to lose whether we've lost all eight at home," rookie defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. "It's a tough one to give away, especially going through the same thing last night."
Rangers 2, Predators 1 (SO) | HIGHLIGHTS
Erik Christensen scored the only goal in a shootout to give the weary Rangers a gritty victory at Nashville.
After losing in Tampa Bay on Wednesday, the Rangers -- who were playing without Marian Gaborik due to the flu -- shut out Florida on Friday and beat Nashville to close their three-game, four-day trip. The Predators have lost four straight, two in shootouts.
"We talked about it in our (pregame) meeting that if we want to get to where we want to be at the end of the year, this is the kind of game -- last of a road trip, coming off a big win, played a lot of games in this stretch here -- we have to find a way to win," said coach John Tortorella, whose team played with just 11 forwards because Marian Gaborik was out with the flu. "These are the points at the end of the year that kill you if you don't get them. It was a good gut check for us in getting points that we needed to get."
Ryan Callahan scored for New York in regulation, and Colin Wilson connected for Nashville.
Wilson took advantage of a turnover by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi inside the New York blue line, and beat goalie Henrik Lundqvist with a wrist shot high to the glove side just 5:10 into the game.
The goal was Wilson's third of this season, but first since Oct. 24, a span of 13 games. He has a goal in each of his two career games against the Rangers.
Callahan tied it at 13:04 of the third period. After a long shift inside the Nashville zone, his wrist shot from the slot tucked just inside the right post for his seventh goal of the season.
After Christensen scored on the first attempt in the shootout, Lundqvist stopped all three Predators shootout attempts for his first win of the season in the tiebreaker.
"We fell behind early, but we didn't stop working," Christensen said. "I thought we took over for stretches of the game."
Nashville has just five regulation goals in its last five games.
"We need more chances than that to score," captain Shea Weber said. "We need to close games out by getting two or three goals when we can and getting that lead, making it easier on ourselves when it comes to later in the game."
Avalanche 7, Wild 4 | HIGHLIGHTS
Greg Mauldin, a recent minor-league callup, scored twice and set up two other goals as the Avalanche overwhelmed the Wild.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- Federal officials say they're investigating reports of swimmers harassing a sperm whale that drifted close to shore as it was dying off a South Florida beach.
Blair Mase of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tells WTVJ in Miami that the whale was likely ill or injured as it floated Sunday off Pompano Beach.
A bystander told authorities that she saw two swimmers approach the whale twice. She also snapped pictures of one swimmer getting on the whale. She said the whale appeared to still be alive at the time because its tail was flapping in the water.
Mase says the swimmers could have caused more harm and stress to the whale. It's a federal offense to harass a marine mammal. Sperm whales also are an endangered species.

Well, it's here. The week of my first marathon. My packet is picked up, the signs for my mom to spectate with are made, the taper madness has set in. I know what my nutrition will be, I'm mostly decided on what to wear, and my pre-race carb load festivities are on the books. The hay is in the barn.....and I don't think it's enough. I am not saying that to have a pity party or fish for pats on the back. And it's not the taper madness talking. I'm worried. I don't feel great. My legs feel heavy almost all the time. I missed my 20 miler due to this knee thing that has quieted but not disappeared. The stress of my marriage has added 100 lbs to me emotionally in addition to the extra 10 I'm physically carrying around right now. My heart hurts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited. And I WILL finish. I'm just worried it's going to be a disaster. I didn't train for this to have it turn into a humiliating, painful, 6-hour limping slogfest. I wanted to feel successful, reach a huge goal, and hit a time that feels satisfying and respectable TO ME. My mom is coming. My brother, who has never made it to any of my races. Many friends. I don't want them to have to stand around forever watching me torture myself and suffer. I want to enjoy myself and achieve a dream. And I'm trying SO HARD to DECIDE that's how it's going to be. But I'm a realist. I'm not sure my training was enough. I'm just not. I don't know how I'm going to run EIGHT more miles than I've ever run before, when during training the 2-mile jumps were really obvious and sometimes difficult.
I haven't done speedwork since the week of April 1st. I took a whole week off and missed the 20, which really messed with me mentally. My last really long run was 18 miles on March 30th. 5 weeks prior to the marathon. 5 long weeks. I don't have faith that will help me a whole lot, but maybe I'm wrong? The FIRST program is a little light on mileage compared to other plans, and I still barely made it through. My biggest week was barely 30 miles. That's base mileage to many of you, and it nearly broke me. I'm not convinced that what I've done in the last 5 months has accomplished what I thought it would.
I guess why I'm writing the sad-sap bloop is to ask not for comfort or encouragement, but sage advice. I'm a logical person. What should I be focusing on to be as positive as possible? Will the 18 really help me more than I feel like it will? Does anyone have any positive techniques or worst-case scenario advice? Done ok with what might actually be minimal training? What worked, what didn't?
Here's what I know I can do, so this is my plan. I can:
--Eat well this week.
--Hydrate the heck out of myself.
--Finish an easy 3 on Tuesday and an easy 3 on Thursday.
--Show up at the start line and give it EVERYTHING I have.
--Run a solid, SMART first half.
--Make it another 2 miles to 15.
--Make it another 2 miles to 17.
--Make it another 3 miles to 20.
--Meet my wonderful friend Ruth who has agreed to pace me in from 20.
--Galloway if I have to.
--Dig deep and hope for the best. Try not to break physically or mentally. TRY.
My original goals were as follows:
A -- 4:20 / 9:55 pace
B -- 4:30 / 10:17 pace
C -- Under 5 hours or just finish.
I think I'm still going to stick to holding a 9:30 - 10 min pace...anywhere in there is really fine, depending on how I'm feeling. Slowing down never makes me feel much better, and it messes my form up so sometimes I actually feel worse. I know I'm not negative splitting this, and that's fine with me. I just want to be as smart as possible, keep my form neat (as it ever is haha), and not dip into the mental doldrums. Enjoy the day. Have a fun experience. FINISH.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!! I'm going to go check the weather 85 times now, bathe in hand sanitizer and drink some Emergen-C!!!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 26.2.
You've already got 11 points that you are going to use to help you. The only things that I would suggest is to relax and have fun. (A therapist might say that you're creating a lot of stress yourself.) I think you mileage so far will work fine. Good luck with everything!
Hugs. Can anyone ever really be ready for a 1st marathon? Sounds like your plan is pretty good...hold your pace as long as you can and just know you may have to go into the run/walk method.
My training was almost identical to yours going into my first full in March. Same 18-miler 5 weeks out, same skipping of the 20-miler, same peak of about 30 miles in a week that almost killed me. I was definitely worried about those last 8 miles, and how much fitness I'd lost over 5 weeks. Adrenaline is a wonder drug though! I predict that once you get to the start and the whole thing finally feels real, your legs will feel light and peppy and you'll be raring to go! As far as the end of the race goes, it's not going to be easy and it's probably going to hurt, but you'll push through it! Gallo-walk if you need to; you definitely won't be the only one doing it
But just speaking from my own experience last month, you have plenty of hay in the barn and you're going to do awesome!! Can't wait to read all about it!
I like your plan! I say stick with me the first half...we'll run smart together ;-) As for the rest, I'm gonna share the advice I got from my sister (love this): "Run smart, run happy. When it really sucks remember you can always always always take one more step. You just have to repeat that mantra for a little while."
And just think how GREAT it's going to feel to cross that finish line!!!!!!!!!
Oh Gingerooni... you have all the symptoms of the grumpy pre-marathon jitters. Ok, so you've skipped a 20-miler. Fine.
I have used FIRST as well; there's not a lot of difference between an 18 and a 20-miler. Your barn may not be full; this does not mean you won't be doing well... just don't give too much importance to your time goals. Your plan is still a good one. Just enjoy the experience; there is nothing like finishing your first marathon - no matter how fast or slow.
I thought I was super-ready when I did my first one: I ended up run-walking after 20 miles, despite having done all my training runs as prescribed. Running marathons is NOT an exact science, so just take it easy and focus on finishing. You really want to finish and still be hungry for more marathons! What's the point of finishing and then vowing never to run another one?
I repeat: savour your experience. I am sure you won't end up slogging to the end; just start conservatively, then see how you feel after 18-20 miles.
Hope this helped
There are no guarantees except you're sure to be OSOM, since you already are. Just don't stop.
Attitude is everything
No one ever really feels ready for their first marathon! My first two went so badly -- DNF and then horrible GI distress capped off with leg cramps -- that I figure I'll never run a worse marathon, which takes off a lot of pressure now. I think you're more than ready if you've finished 18 miles. Just enjoy the experience! Can't wait for the RR!
You're gonna do great! One mile at a time. It's fun....remember that
Think of your favorite short run. When the going is getting tough, visualize yourself on that short run and how close you are to getting it finished. I'm not a shiny positive person, so my advice is to embrace the "OMG this sucks" feeling until you cross the finish line. You won't believe how awesome you'll feel mentally when you've pushed through to the end. It will also be the best beer ever!
Life's a little better when we run.
First question - who do you run for? Do you run for your family in the stands? Us watching and supporting from afar? Your "husband" (wasn't sure how to put that...apologies...)? Or for you? I'll answer it for you - you run for YOU. To feel good about yourself, and to better yourself, and to enjoy yourself. Your family (us included...henceforth referred to as "we"..."we" being the combination of your blood relatives and your Loop family) will be proud of you no matter what you do. If you finish in your goal time, we will be ecstatic! If you finish after your goal time has long since past, we will be happy for you! If you get halfway through and fall on your face, we will be happy that you had the courage and fortitude to go as far as you did. If you go 10 feet and sprain your ankle, we will be happy that you're okay, and able to do another race sometime in the future. If you don't even make it to the start, we will be happy you had the courage to sign up for this race, and train for it with everything else happening in your life right now. You are amazing no matter what happens at the race - NOTHING can take that away. Don't worry about us (same meaning to "us" as "we" was defined earlier) - focus on YOU.
That's my biggest piece of advice for you - run the way YOU want to...not the way you think WE want you to run, or in the time you think WE need you to finish. Erase that from your mind. During the race, we don't matter. It's just you and the course.
My second piece of advice is to relax and enjoy the race. Don't focus on what went wrong during training - that doesn't matter now. Focus on the course, and the smiling faces lining the course, and the support of everyone around you, and how good you feel doing what you love to do, and how strong you are, and what an amazing woman you are, and how not many people can do what you are doing. Live COMPLETELY in the moment, and soak in all the positive energy that's out there waiting for you.
Three - remember there's beer at the finish line...
oh - and +1 Dave...
Embrace this moment.
Remember - we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
Focus on what you can control and I am sure you'll do great. Stay positive and have fun.
Did you know that training doesn't need to be perfect and you can still perform just fine in a marathon? It's true! I say relax and enjoy the experience. A marathon should be a journey, not a race. Give high-5s, hug some strangers, take beer when offered, greet every new neighborhood you enter. As you run, plan the OSOM bloop you're gonna write for us next week.
Good luck, lady! Lots of love!!

Please try to take the pressure off, Ginger. You have done so much work and overcome so many obstacles. Now it's all about having some fun for a few hours on a Sunday morning. My advice is to forget the time goal. No one will judge your performance (or if they do, screw them). The people who really love you will rejoice with you no matter what time is on the clock. Also, there is no shame in walking. (The only marathon I've done with perfect splits was a big Galloway party - 9 minutes run, 1 minute walk all the way from start to finish - the most beautiful splits you've ever seen ..). Good luck!
It sounds like you have a good plan......first half go slow and go as long as you can. Adrenaline will help push you through those tough miles and a run/walk plan will help also when the going gets really tough. Embrace the support of the spectators and most importantly, have fun! You are all that matters!
Running = Happiness
Join a pace group. Running with a group takes your mind off of the race and the time goes by very quickly. Running with people you have never met, trading stories, makes the miles just go by.
+1 LadyCap
You are going to have so much fun, and you are going to achieve a stupendous accomplishment! I'm already proud of you. Go crush that thing!
If you start to struggle, Loop Love will carry you to the finish line. Enjoy your run!
Run fun! ~Mike
Just try to relax and have fun. And follow HotPinkSneakers advice. She has been there, done that, just over a month ago. Good luck!
Run on everyone.....................Steve
no one is ever ready for the first marathon. i doubt my training in all 6 i've done. You'll be fine!!! training never goes as planned. i don't think there's much difference between 18-20 either. you just need to get through this one. walk if you want. a good time to do it is at the water breaks. it also helps you from not choking on the water, that's not fun. having your friend at mile 20 for the rest is really going to help you! it will motivate you to get to 20 and she'll do a lot of the work getting you to the finish. good luck lady!!!!!!!!!! you're going to do great. don't stress. enjoy!
you CAN finish the marathon. you might be more sore than you expected, but the second 50k i ran, I hadn't done a run longer than 2 hours in about 2 months... you'll be surprised.
AND my first marathon i only trained 12 weeks for. my second one i missed several important runs during monster month. no one ever is 100% ready. just get out there and bring what you've learned in training- that you LOVE running. and most importantly that you can persist and endure when things get tough.
i know you can do it! i'll be at miles 13 and 23 with my sign and cowbell cheering for you! (i love the grumpy cat btw i wonder if i can incorporate that in to a sign hehe)
You will finish this thing, I'm sure. 18 miles isn't much different than 20 and the last part sucks no matter how experienced you are.
Maybe if you try to soak up the energy of the crowd when it gets tough. High-five people or focus on reading the signs or something. And just keep moving forward! You're tough and you can do this! Good luck!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
-Lao Tzu
Take this for what it's worth, which isn't much. When I lined up for the 2010 Philadelphia Marathon I felt amazing, my training was better than I could have ever imagined, I had no aches and pains. I ran 10 Yasso 800s in an average of 3:19 my last two in 3:10 and then 3:07. I was only aiming to run 3:30. I finished in 4:26. About a year later I trained for the Lehigh Valley Marathon. My longest run was 16.5 miles(I used the Hanson-Brooks plan which only called for that but still, 10 miles shorter than I'd have to run in the race). It was hot, humid, my hip was in bad shape. I ran a 17 minute PR.
Run the best race you can that day sometimes even a little hay is all you need.
Good luck!
You will be great, you will surprise yorurself, you will succeed. Hey, some of us haven't even built up the stones to commit to a full yet! I am going to use your awesome RR to inspire me.
Good luck! We will be waiting to hear about it!
You can do this. You know you can. Believe in yourself. BELIEVE. IN. YOURSELF.
Ok ... I'm a little late to the party, but here is my 2 cents (for what it's worth).
My first marathon I trained well. I did every run on every day it was scheduled. I rested when I was supposed to. I cross trained when I was supposed to. I never ran one mile less than what was listed on the calendar. And my race went well. I hurt at times, but I pushed through and I made it to the finish.
For my second marathon, I skipped some training runs. Then I skipped some more. I logged a lot of time with ice packs on various parts of my body. I did my 20 miler, but it was awful. AWFUL! My confindence was down and I was dreading the actual race. But then I decided to just give it whatever I had, quit putting so much stress on myself and have fun. And you know what? My race went well. I hurt at times, but I pushed through and made it to the finish.
The biggest difference between my 2nd full and the 1st was that the 2nd was so much more fun! I let go of the pressure of finish times and I high fived people and I drank beer and I walked a minute or two when I felt that I needed to. I made friends on the course and I sang along to music and I wore beads that people threw at me (it was the RnR New Orleans). When I finished, I felt FANTASTIC ... and all that fun I was having in my pressure free race added a whopping TWO MINUTES onto my first marathon time.
Just have fun with it .... the rest will fall into place.
Get lots of sleep or at least rest. It will help. I just ran a marathon 2 weeks ago with only doing one long run of 16 miles since December. If I can do it you can do it. Trust me, you are tougher than i am and better prepared. Just go slow. Especially through 15. I was feeling too good at miles 13- 18 and paid for it from 23-26. but there's no shame in run walking to the finish. Good luck!
I went into my 100 miler scared too. My training much less than yours even. I had moments of panic too! "You miss 100 percent of the shots you do not take." -- Wayne Gretsky. You're taking a shot here, on the stage of your dreams. You're doing something that most people will never even attempt. Your training cycle may not be perfect, but its still pretty solid! We all believe in you. And most of us slog a little in those last 6-8 miles! Even if you're slogging a little, hold your head high and be proud of yourself. Hang in there!
Then just enjoy as best you can.. don't have your mind fixated on any specific goals. Just run with KEK... enjoy and meet your family at the finish! You are brave! I still am not ready to attempt a full.
Most limitations are self made.

Santa Cruz's Moon Eater could definitely take the Black Keys in a fight.
At a recent house show, Moon Eater's heavy-blues punk rock kept getting interrupted by power outages during their performance. When the third one hit, drummer Dustin Roth just decided to keep playing, and vocalist-guitarist Pat Crowley followed along, continuing to sing the verse. The power came back on right at the chorus. Without missing a beat, everyone jumped back in perfectly—as though it were planned.
"There's no way you could reproduce that," Roth says. "When you play house shows, or a skate park, and you're on the floor with the audience, there's this connection. It's way more intimate. You're just sitting there in somebody's living room and playing your heart out. The whole crowd's into it."
The raw intensity of Moon Eater's sound was inspired by the immediacy of the backyard and basement hardcore shows they went to growing up in the '90s. It's an element they try to recapture whenever they are standing in front of an audience.
"We just want to be pure energy on stage. That's what it's always been about for me from being in bands since I was younger," says guitarist Pat Crowley.
Yet one listen to their debut self-titled album, which was released in November 2012, reveals more than just a full-throttle assault; there is sophistication to their sonic arrangements. It was recorded at Audio Design Studio in San Diego with a level of detail paid to every nuance of the sound, which actually brings out their intensity rather than hampering it. Engineer Ben Moore, and producer John Reis captured their thick, meaty riffs in a way that is unique for standard hardcore, rock or even metal groups, and gives it punch.
"As a band, we're really into having good tone. We have good-sounding amps, good-sounding drums," bassist Scott Tarasco points out.
While the two guitarists play bare bones '70s garage-rock power riffs, the way they interact with one another is complex, and creates a full, consuming sound—which is in part a byproduct of the fact that they both play slightly different parts, and that they use two different brands of amps, with different sound palettes. Crowley plays on a Marshall, which has that signature, heavy "crunch" sound, while guitarist Josh White plays on an Orange amp, which is known for its bright, punchy tone. Backed by Tarasco on bass and Dustin Roth on drums, their music, while loud and heavy, is actually much denser than most punk bands, and has greater power than other modern blues-inspired alternative rock bands like the Black Keys or the White Stripes.
Yet, with all that fine-tuning on their album, the band still insists that the place they truly shine is still at their live shows.
"I feel like you don't get us until you see us live, then you see the energy and everything we put into it," says White.
What makes that energy so potent is how direct and honest it is. There is nothing between the audience and the feelings the band is communicating.
They aren't married to the house show setting. They like nice clubs just as much because of how well they can showcase their tone and tight musicianship. In either setting, their music is always built around simple, basic rock n roll songwriting, which is a much more subtle craft than complex technical music.
"If a band can sit down and play the same riff for three minutes and still make it interesting, and you still want to listen to that track again, that's amazing music," says Roth. "You can play the most simple G blues song sped up, and it's so good. As long as you have that great vocal hook over it, nice little lead somewhere, guitar solo, it doesn't need to be more."

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Memphis police say two people are dead in an apparent murder-suicide in the parking lot of ServiceMaster's offices.
Police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph tells The Commercial Appeal that a man shot a woman, then shot himself, shortly before 7 a.m. Monday outside the business in east Memphis.
Identities have not been released. Rudolph says an initial investigation shows that it was a domestic violence incident.

Next steps at future Lowman Beach sewer-overflow-tank site: Fence this week, 'painting party' SaturdayAugust 13, 2012 at 4:07 pm | In Utilities, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
Sometime before Saturday, King County's Wastewater Treatment Division plans to put up a fence around the future site of its Murray Combined Sewer Overflow Control Project – a million-gallon tank across from Lowman Beach. That will precede demolition of the county-purchased homes/apartments on the site. "No parking" signs line both sides of the Lowman Beach section of Beach Drive this week, and the fence is scheduled to be up by Saturday (August 18). That's the day the county plans a community "painting party" – 10 am-3:30 pm:
You are invited to help paint the mural that will cover the Murray Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Facility construction site fence for at least the next year. The Nature Consortium's teaching artist will be onsite to explain mural design and help painters get started. Materials and templates will be provided, but wear your painting clothes! Families and children of all ages are welcome, and there is no obligation to stay for the whole day. You can paint for a while, enjoy a snack and then go enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
Along with the community-painted art, which will be on the Beach Drive side of the fence, King County's Doug Marsano tells WSB that Urban Artworks will produce art panels for the Lincoln Park Way side.

King County enlisting the help of children and "neighbors" to, in their words "dress up the neighborhood" is tantamount to employing slave labor to put lipstick on a pig before it is roasted and eaten by fellow pigs…
Several neigbhorhood friends are posting signs to the effect of "Don't Paint" "Protest" — "We invite you to protest the killing of this neighborhood by King County. No one we know of is celebrating ("paryting") the death of an entire neighborhood and the destruction and disappearance of 19 rental units and 30 neighbors."
A wake would be more appropriate.
For those of you who will start bashing the whole concept of holding King County's feet to the fire for the foreseeable future, please, give a few thoughts to accountability and consequences.
Your neighbors and friends' homes could be next.
On this block, we miss our former neighbors and friends.
If you think this siting of the underground sewage tank was inevitable, you have not done your research.
Bye, bye, neighborhood, hello sewage tank, I think I'm a-gonna cryyyy…
Good to see there are right thinking people like Duckitude out there to stand up in favor of dumping raw sewage in Puget Sound.
Funny, you'd think all the West Seattle NIMBYs would be thrilled about removing rental units, considering all the hateful diatribes against renters that get posted in these comments all the time.
Comment by godofthebasement — 5:10 pm August 13, 2012 #
Again, god, do your homework. Many possible locations for such a CSO tank. The community advisory committee of which I was an active member did not recommend nor endorse the site chosen, and, in essence, were seriously betrayed by King County. I would be happy to send you more information about that process if you would like it.
As for NIMBYs and diatribes against renters… yah, I am a renter. So? What's it to you? I guess your diatribe against me would be an example of the hateful diatribes against renters found herein. You should really choose a side and stick to it.
I can tell you this. The owners south of Lowman Beach Park and 7043 Beach Drive SW are ecstatic about getting rid of the "riff-raff." I don't live south of 7043, nor do I own.
I think my comment wasn't clear, Duck. I'm an advocate for high density housing and I always challenge those who speak I'll of renters. Please don't think of me as your foe on that just because we disagree on the CSO. And yes, please post links to all the information you have. I will read it. But remember, just being on an "advisory group" (who chooses those anyway?) doesn't in itself make you right. I believe King Co engineers are smart people capable of making the best decisions on infrastructure projects, so I'm inclined to favor their decision.

Bunched Cory Cactus
(Coryphantha ramillosa subsp. ramillosa)
Other Scientific Names: Mammillaria ramillosa
Other Common Names: Big Bend cory cactus, whiskerbush, whiskerbrush pincushion cactus, Big Bend mammillaria
Status: Federal and State Threatened
Global Rank: G2G3T2T3
State Rank: S2S3
Global Location: Bunched cory cactus is only known from West Texas in southern Brewster and Terrell counties. It also occurs across the Rio Grande in Chihuahua and Coahuila in northern Mexico.
Description: Bunched cory cactus is a succulent perennial usually with solitary, unbranched stems 3-9 cm tall and usually 3-7 cm wide, without mucilage in the stem interior. The stems are covered in spine-tipped cone-shaped projections 6-20 mm long, each with a groove on the upper side that extends from the tip to the base. Spines arising from each of these projections are numerous, but are not so dense that they hide the stem completely. Some of the spines (radial spines) form a ring around the tip, somewhat similar to the spokes of a bicycle wheel, except the spokes are irregularly spaced and twisted or curving as well as straight. Other spines (central spines) arise interior to the radial spines and point somewhat outward and away from the stem. There are typically 13-16 radial spines, although rarely there can be as few as 9 or as many as 20 per cluster. These radial spines are typically white or gray and usually reach 1-2 cm long. Usually longer than the radial spines, the three to four (rarely six) straight or somewhat curved central spines vary from white to gray to dark brown. The upper central spines are between 1.7-3.9 cm long and the lower central spines are 2.2-4.3 cm long. Bunched cory cactus flowers are pink to red-purple and 3.5-6.5 cm long, and the outermost petals have smooth edges. The egg-shaped to round fruits are 1-2.5 cm long and green at maturity. The seeds are brown or yellowish to reddish.
Bunched cory cactus usually has one unbranched stem and smooth, not fringed, flower petals.
Bunched cory cactus has spine-tipped cone-shaped projections, each with a groove on the upper side that extends from the tip to the base. In the illustration, seventeen light-colored radial spines arise exterior to four longer central spines (three upper, light-colored central spines and one lower, darker-colored central spine). Bunched cory cactus can have 9-20 radial spines and 3-4 central spines.
Similar Species: Big-needle pincushion cactus (Coryphantha macromeris) usually forms colonies up to 1 m across composed of many multi-branched individuals. Stems of big-needle pincushion cactus also have spine-tipped projections with a groove on their upper side, but the groove arises from the tip and extends half way down the projection. Flower petals of big-needle pincushion cactus are fringed, not smooth. The =2.5 cm, green fruits of Texas cone cactus (Neolloydia conoidea) greenish-brown or tan and dry at maturity and contain black or gray seeds.
See the table below for more detailed, but important characteristics to differentiate between bunched cory cactus, big-needle pincushion cactus, and Texas cone cactus. All measurements given are typical lengths, though measurements (rarely) can occur outside these. For unabridged measurements, see references below.

Texas cone cactus generally has shorter spines than bunched cory cactus.
Habitat: Rocky limestone flats, hills and mesas of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Life Cycle Events: Flowering occurs August to November, and occasionally as early as April.
Survey Season: Although the plant is visible year-round, bunched cory cactus is most easily detected while in bloom August to November.
Comments: A geographically distant, yellow-flowered variant of bunched cory cactus in Mexico has been described as Coryphantha ramillosa subsp. santarosa. Based on recent findings, the purple-flowered bunched cory cactus (Coryphantha ramillosa subsp. ramillosa) are more common than initially thought.

LCD TVs have recently become a revolutionary device in one's home. Due to their wide screen, perfect fit and flawless viewing, people buy them in large number today. In addition, famous brands have lowered their prices tremendously due to the fierce competition of LCD TVs.
The Samsung LCD TV comes along with difference screen sizes. The bigger the better, for individuals with massive homes. But how effective are in fact these TVs and what are their problems, you're about to find out. For starters, if you're not an expert in installing a flat screen TV, then you shouldn't try to fix things because you might cause more harm than good. Nevertheless, when installing the TV customers begin to have several Samsung LCD TV problems regarding certain popping noises. When looking for a signal, they say that the device starts to make a weird clicking and they're afraid it might break down.
Another impediment is connected to motion blur. Frequently, there have individuals saying that Samsung has some difficulties with this attribute in its LCDs. When watching really fast movement on TV, you'll probably witness some blurring instead of speed. Football games for example, happen really fast and thus, if your TV is suffering from motion blur then it's probably because of the resolution or the "refresh rate", which is mainly the speed. Generally speaking, several Samsung flat screens have 60 MHz speed and they do have blurring, however those that operate with 120MHz and 240MHZ work perfectly.
When watching TV, especially an interesting movie, you don't want the device to shut down instantly. This automatic feature is the cause of the Samsung LCD TV problems that was established at manufacturing. For some people, it is a problem because it's really annoying to have your TV closed when you don't want to.
Samsung LCD TV problems can also be seen in angle viewing. From certain positions the clarity of the image is lost. This really bothers individuals and the cause is mainly due to the brand that hasn't stabilized the color properly. Samsung comes along with this limitation on cheaper LCDs and specialists say than even the more expensive ones are not that great. Moving forward, people are just irritated with Samsung LCDs that have too much brightness. It's really disturbing for the eyes and it creates discomfort for the people, not to mention tiredness. Some LCDs have color settings, but not all of them can reduce the intensity of the brightness.
Other Samsung LCD TV problems are directed related to glare. A flat screen TV must not reflect too much light from outside sources like the sun, or in-house light. Nevertheless, Samsung does that. Their products are not that revolutionary when it comes to screen perfection. When watching a movie on broad daylight, you'll certainly see the difference. Only the newest models have some sort of black base screen meant to slow down the glowing. Overall, Samsung is a good brand for TV watching but these issues make people skeptical about the product's performance.

The liability of loathsome, link-level web spam (SEM 101) has some useful data concerning what the Bing team sees as web spam -- and therefore how to avoid having your site penalized by Bing.
On Page:
- Add backlinks to all UGC content. When users go onto websites that allow UGC to be created, those who use post web spam include backlink URLs to their sites, even if they don't have anything to do with the comment or, more significantly, the theme of the UGC-sponsoring site.
- Automation. Spammers often use automated techniques to repeatedly submit the same UGC post containing short, generic text and a clickable URL to their sites in every UGC-sponsoring page possible.
- Keyword stuffing. Post web spam text is often keyword stuffed.
- Massive repetition. Lots of non-relevant, poor quality, inbound links come from such pages as online guest books, forums, and blog comments.
Off Page:
- Large, sudden surge of new inbound links. When dozens or hundreds of inbound links suddenly appear for a new or a previously small website, such a big change can indicate link farm web spam activity. The relevance of the outbound linking sites will be a key factor in whether or not such a sudden change warrants further investigation.
- Consistent similarities between outbound linking sites. If a large number of the inbound links for a site come from sites that are very similar in design, structure, and other key characteristics, this can lead to deeper scrutiny of a website for web spam.
- Poor linking standards. A link farm will often have a large number of unrelated links on the page, or will have related links to many sites that employ other spam methods.The pages themselves are designed to maximize the number of links on them, favoring outbound links rather than original content on the page.
There is a lot more great data in the article.

New Exhumed album "Necrocracy"
[QUOTE]2012 was a year of guts and glory for the rotters in Exhumed. Thanks to all the ragers, earth dogs, hessian aggressors, crusties, bandana thrashers, grind maniacs, necromaniacs and other humanoids that made it out to one of our 155 shows in 16 countries during 2012. We got to welcome back the inimitable Bud Burke on lead guitar, and found time to record a new record for you guys for 2013, "Necrocracy." If somehow you didn't get out to bang, barf and blast with us last year, we are already planning a bunch of madness for 2013, so save your strength for the day we come to your city! See you in the front or in the morgue - cheerzzzzzz....[/QUOTE]
Slightly old news (it was on Metal Underground at the beginning of the month), but new Exhumed is still good news. :party:
The aforementioned MU article says it comes out in the spring sometime soon, and I'm assuming a summer/fall tour will follow it.
Would love another date with them here! Trog knows all these dudes and that's how they get to play tiny bars and restaurants here!
Not a huge fan of these guys, but I respect the hell out of them for 155 shows in 16 countries. Pretty damn impressive.
I can't wait! :D
I can't really sit down and listen to them on album, but live... omg... they fucking slay! I'll still check this album out though :rocker:
I'm definitely ready for another round of Gore Metal :rocker:
New song

This report is an analysis of biochip/microarray markets based on technologies and applications. The report starts with a description of technologies as a basis for estimation of markets. Technologies include array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), copy number variation (CNV), DNA methylation, ChIP-Chip, RNA splice variants, and microRNA. Separate chapters are devoted to protein biochips/microarrays, microfluidics and nanobiotechnology-based nano-arrays.
Various applications of biochips and microarrays are described throughout the report. Areas of application such as point-of-care, genetic screening, cancer, and diagnosis of infections are included. Separate chapters are devoted to applications in drug discovery and development as well as personalized medicine
The report provides current share of each segment: market size in 2012 and projected value for the years 2018 and 2023. Gene expression has the largest share and is an established market. Share of microarray technologies in other areas will grow with the maximum growth in RNA splice variants followed by epigenetics. The growth in protein microarrays is somewhat less, partly because it is more mature than the other submarkets and has already shown considerable growth in the past. Impact of next generation sequencing on segments of microarray markets is identified. Customer requirements and unmet needs are described. Markets are also analyzed according to geographical areas.
Brief profiles of companies involved in biochip/microarray technologies are provided. Currently selected 86 companies are included along with listing of 114 collaborations between companies. The text is supplemented by 19 tables, 8 figures and 100 references to literature.

Aeromat Sticky Yoga/Pilates Mats 1/4"- Aeromat 1/4" Thick Yoga/Pilates Mats offer twice the amount of cushion between you and the floor when compared to our 1/8" Light and Sticky Yoga Mats. Each of our mats are made from durable, non-slip
Thermo Plastic Elastomer closed-cell foam that is free of Phthalates, PVC, Chloride and Latex making them environmentally friendly as well as people friendly. A "sticky" texture is provided through a dual-sided wavy surface and provides sufficient traction for hands and feet while holding
poses for a prolonged period. Choose your favorite color mat to use in your home gym, Yoga studio or commercial gym. Transporting is easy with the included carry strap that will keep your mat rolled up tight at all times.
Why use a Yoga or Pilates mat? Both Yoga and Pilates have the potential of enhancing the mind-body connection while performing exercises and poses to improve core strength, promote muscular endurance and flexibility, optimize body composition and
maintain spine health. A lot of these exercises are performed while on the ground. An anti-fatigue, tacky mat not only defines your own personal space, it will prevent hands and feet from sliding allowing you to prolong posture as needed. A thicker mat, such as a 1/4" thick foam mat, can
relieve the pressure to bones, joints and muscles as you exercise on hard surfaces.

Reach into Aquarium waters and have a close encounter of the aquatic kind at the Skate & Ray Encounters touch pool.
As skates and stingrays gracefully glide around the open exhibit, visitors can feel their silky smooth "wings." The Aquarium's stingrays and skates are safe to touch. Aquarists humanely clip the venomous barbs that stingrays use as protection against predators. Unlike rays, skates rely on large thorns on their backs and tails for protection.
A topside view shows off the variety of animals — southern stingrays, yellow stingrays, clearnose skates, Atlantic stingrays and cownose rays. Skates and rays are closely related to sharks.
In addition to the skates and rays on exhibit, many other species can be found in North Carolina waters, including smooth butterfly rays, spotted eagle rays, southern rays, winter skates, little skates and barndoor skates.
The Aquarium offers visitors a chance to feed the skates and rays on exhibit. Check the online calendar for the Breakfast with the Rays program schedule and fees.

Sandusky County Court Judge John Kolesar used to practice law while maintaining his duties as a judge.
- Filed Under
While in court as a defense attorney, part-time judge John Kolesar said on more than one occasion he's been called "Your honor" by attorneys and judges.
"It puts you in a position where it's uncomfortable," Kolesar said. "You don't want to be called 'Your Honor' when you're over there as an attorney. It may not affect you, but the people in the hallway - the other litigants - I don't know what goes through their heads but it can't be good."
Similar ethical dilemmas surround part-time county court judges who maintain a private practice in Ohio. ...

ALM's Law Journal Press Publishes New Book, Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Forms Annotated
Directors and officers liability insurance has recently undergone an explosion in popularity fueled by new decisions, new legislation and fallout from the subprime loan crisis. The new book from Law Journal Press, Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Forms Annotated, is an essential reference and forms book for counsel representing both policyholders and insurers.
A detailed table of contents, as well as ordering information for this and other Law Journal Press publications, is available at www.lawcatalog.com.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Forms Annotated provides sample language and variations, with analysis of critically important D&O liability insurance issues, from the most basic to the most advanced. Topics covered include: Side A, Side B, and Side C coverage; timing and notice requirements; types of insuring agreements; general provisions and conditions of coverage; defenses against coverage; exclusions from coverage; order of payments; presumptive indemnification; and ADR and mediation clauses. From "drop down coverage" to the "relative exposure" rule, practitioners will find the examples and guidance they need to protect clients' interests.
Peter K. Rosen is a partner in the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, where he is a member of its Litigation Department and its Insurance Coverage Litigation Practice. He represents policyholders in a wide variety of matters involving directors and officers' liability insurance. Rosen gained worldwide recognition for his leading role in the massive insurance coverage litigation arising out of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.

Gallup's Annual Values and Beliefs Poll conducted May 3-6, 2012 found Americans self-identified as 46 percent conservative, 32 percent moderate and 20 percent liberal on economic issues. On social matters, they identified as 38 percent conservative, 31 percent moderate and 28 percent liberal. It is hard to understand how a less than 30 percent minority can wield so much influence and power unless one considers liberals control 90 percent of broadcast news time, newsprint and educational communication.
This group has also completely taken over the Democratic Party. If there are any moderates left in that organization their voices have not been heard for four years.
Republicans should be encouraged by the results of the last election. The president's re-election campaign spent a reported trillion dollars destroying Mitt Romney's reputation. Unions put 450,000 members to work in selected precincts and contributed approximately $755 million to the re-election effort. Oddly, you cannot find an exact amount of union contributions on either Bing or Google. That amount was extrapolated from the list of top 140 contributors to both parties from any organization with the word union in its name.
Add the long list of special interest groups that voted solidly for the president to almost solid control of information and he should have won the popular vote by 75 percent instead of a narrow margin. Perhaps the silent majority still believes in the American dream and hopes someday to become part of the evil 2 percent.
Land conservation
I'm writing to applaud former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt for challenging the Obama Administration to put land conservation on equal ground with oil and gas drilling. There are many treasured places such as the Organ Mountains and surrounding areas that do not have the permanent protection that would guarantee that our children and grandchildren would be able to experience New Mexico's unique outdoor heritage.
What Sec. Babbitt proposed is that for every acre of our public land leased to the oil and gas industry during President Obama's tenure, at least one acre should be permanently protected. This common-sense principle would ensure that hunting and fishing and the protection of important historic and cultural areas are on equal ground with the interests of oil and gas companies.
I hope that the administration's nomination of Sally Jewell for Interior secretary will be a step forward in this goal. Her experience in both the energy sector as well as working for a large outdoor retailer exemplifies the kind of equal-ground agenda that Sec. Babbitt proposed. For the 6 million acres that have been leased to private industry since Obama took office in 2009, only 2.6 million acres have been set aside for permanent protection as public use land. Both George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton protected as much of our public land as they gave to the oil and gas industry.
