Inspiring post from Gabby Giffords in the NYT today - www.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/opi...
"We will seize on consensus where it exists, on solutions big or small. We will fight for every inch, because that means saving lives. I've seen grit overcome paralysis. My resolution today is that Congress achieve the same. How? Step by step: Enhance enforcement by passing a law making gun trafficking a serious crime with stiff penalties. Make it illegal for all stalkers and all domestic abusers to buy guns. Extend mental health resources into schools and communities, so the dangerously mentally ill find it easier to receive treatment than to buy firearms. And even as we lay the groundwork for expanding background checks, pass strong incentives for states to ensure the background-check system contains the records of the most dangerous and violent among us."
From Sandy Hook Promise:
Every donation up to $200,000 that we receive today will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous donor. So please don't wait – make your tax-deductible gift now, before midnight, and have it go twice as far.
Interesting idea:
An idea? Make firing/owning a gun in USA exactly like flying/owning a plane: 4-6 months training, written & practice exam, retest each 2 yrs— Dan Roam (@dan_roam) October 5, 2013
Presented by San Francisco General Hospital Foundation
Special Guest
Congressman Mike Thompson
Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force
Includes a panel discussion of community-based solutions for reducing gun violence in San Francisco
4:00 p.m. Reception, 4:30 p.m. Program
Seating is limited. Please RSVP by September 12th
to Leah Wagner-Edelstein at email@example.com
It sounds like Richmond is doing some interesting things to confront gun violence that could be a model for SF:
"Most neighborhood safety programs target individuals downstream from acts of violence, including victims and their families. But when ONS reviewed the homicides in Richmond, one thing became clear: About 15 young men were responsible for nearly all of them, but police couldn't prove it. So rather than working only with youth who were at-risk to become violent, ONS chose a more innovative strategy — to confront the young men who were perpetrating the violence and give them a chance for a better life."
Featured in a forthcoming documentary, "A Confused War," a few dedicated community leaders in Richmond, Calif., are working tirelessly to change their city's deadly reputation.
A vast majority of Americans support expanded gun control measures, but the NRA has again and again stopped every effort in Congress to pass common-sense legislation. So now it's time to stop the NRA.
The NRA and its lobbyists have overpowered the will of the majority of Americans for too long.
Join StopTheNRA.com and the millions of Americans who support legislation to prevent gun violence. Sign up for the latest information on efforts to end gun violence and make your voice heard.
The Sandy Hook Promise mission is to work to identify and implement holistic, common sense solutions that will make our community and our country safer from similar acts of violence through education, outreach and grass-roots discussion. SHP believes the time has come to enter into these discussions with equal parts of Love, Compassion, and Common Sense.
I promise to support common sense solutions that make my community and our country safer from acts of violence. Join me. Make the Sandy Hook Promise.
The Whitehouse has set up a Thunderclap to show Congress how important this issue is to US citizens. Learn more here:

Tom's Guide says:
Overall, the Oral-B SmartSeries is a well designed product that fully utilizes the two-way communication between toothbrush and smartphone to improve your brushing habits. I especially like the Focused Care feature for setting up custom brushing guidelines, and the Achievements. However, I wish the brush could track its own movement in your mouth, as the upcoming $100 Kolibree can. At $160 for the starting model, the Oral-B brush is also considerably more expensive than a nonconnected toothbrush with similar features (around $115). Overall, the Oral-B SmartSeries is worth a look for people who are serious about their dental health and the quantified self, but I'm waiting for something even smarter. quote

There are two kinds of automotive owners: those who care about their automobiles and those who really, really care about their automobiles. Those who belong to the former are content of having decent-looking vehicles that run adequately. On the other hand, those who belong to the latter want everything about their automobiles to be perfect. People who seek perfection for their cars go the extra mile in order to keep their rides not only in tip-top shape, but also stylized to their liking. Perhaps you belong to the same group of automotive owners if you're looking for hood insulation.
Functionality and Style
Hood insulation is just the thing for those who want to keep their rides protected as well as looking stylish. Hood insulation shields your hood's paint job from terrible engine heat, thus preventing the paint's deterioration. And as you now, a paint job—even just for the hood—can be quite pricey. With those said, this accessory definitely comes in handy when things get too hot under the hood.
Another practical use for hood insulation is to muffle engine sound. Noise can be a real bother when driving after all. Hood insulation is particularly useful for automotive owners that possess loud motors.
As stated above, hood insulation is a stylish addition to your automobile. Hood insulations come in different colors and designs. In fact, there are literally thousands of variants to choose from! You'd certainly find one in the market that would nicely complement your ride.
Since hood insulations come in numerous variants, prices for these accessories vary immensely. Basic hood insulations can go for as low as $30 while the more high-end (and stylish) ones can set you back for as much as $100. When talking solely of practicality, even the cheapest variants can provide the hood protection and muffling that you're looking for. There's no need to go for fancy and pricey hood insulation when you don't have extra cash to spare.

Reviews of The Meadows of Napa Valley Assisted Living
Average Rating: 3.7 out of 5 stars based on 3 Reviews
I am/was a resident of this facility
The experience at The Meadows is very good, but of course it is a big adjustment. For the most part, it is very pleasant; the people are very nice, and the staff is very nice. The place is very well-kept and well cared for. The food is reasonably good. Their preparations are quite good, and they have a pretty good selection of things. It is very nice served, the dining room is moderate with linen table cloths and napkins, and you have wine with your meals if you want. It's very well done.
There are a number of activities like clubs, cards, pool, exercise, computers, yoga class, arts and crafts,and bridge, and in the evening they do have sort of a happy hour in the main room where they served wine before supper. They bring in entertainers so there's a chance to meet other people to talk and meet our friends so it's very useful. It's a little pricey, but for what you get, I think it's certainly well worth the price.
I visited this facility
The Meadows of Napa Valley has got something for everybody. It has really extensive grounds. I know as far as assisted living that the rooms are very nice. It is the grounds that I am most interested with. They have a super nice floral walking ground that you can walk all around. It is huge. You have a private area where you can walk. They go all the way from a regular 1-person apartment style, up to a hospital facility. It is so huge that I don't think everyone gets personal care. The dining area is a buffet style. The size of the facility can be a little too big if you know what I mean. It is extremely expensive. It is an older facility, so it is not quite as clean as the newer facility. We had a bad earthquake here in Napa, and a couple of the facilities here still have a gigantic crack on it. The staff here is absolutely friendly. The residents there are quite happy although I know quite a few who ran out of money and transferred to something cheaper.
I visited this facility
The Meadows of Napa Valley is a continuing care facility. The property is very large with lots of amenities. They have a pool and an exercise room in there. They have everything, but you also need to pay more. I was able to have lunch there, and the food was very good. They also have a huge list of activities.

This is definitely one of my go-to's. It's bright, pretty, girly, and very low on the shimmer. It's perfect,I get so many compliments on this color. This was from the Espana collection right? I think so, I forget sometimes, but it's one of my favorites and I hope they don't discontinue it, I'm going to be very sad.

Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

This color is gorg! I have alot of polishes but I was surprised to find nothing like this in my collection. It's somewhat of a mullberry color to me, a soft pinky purple. I love the big fat brush and I like that the polish dries quicker than most. When I use my seche vite topcoat over I can wear this for a good 4-5 days with minimal chips an that's with my crazy mothery duties as dish washer. I would def repurchase since this color is really very unique!!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Dark, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I seriously love this color!! Its a nice mix of purple/pink and it looks amazing on! I always compliments when I wear it. Of course its great for summer but I think the color would be a nice pop of color in the winter as well. If you find it grab it...it's a keeper :)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
So I thought i would adore this colour & since receiving it ive only worn it once because it just doesn't make me happy like other opi colours like 'atomic orange' or 'pamplona purple' for instance. its a very pretty colour but it doesnt have a huge WOW factor for me. i can imagine this colour with a hint of shimmer in - i think that would give it a bigger wow for me. saying that, it looks amazing when paired with a chic black outfit!!!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Curly, Other
Eyes: Brown
Love it! In the bottle, it looks similar to a lot of OPI colors (All that Razzberry especially), but there is something subtly different about this one when it's on. Perfect mix of bright pink and purple, and the color really pops without being too childish or garish. No problems with streaks, and lasts very well (even for OPI) without chipping. Looks good whether I'm tan or not, and on toes or fingers.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is such a gorgeous, yummy creme berry colour from the Spain collection (have it on right now!). I think it has the teeniest tinge of purple in it, making it cool toned. When I first got it, I thought it was all too similar to All That Razzberry from the Chicago collection, but after swatching it (above) & also swatching All That Razzberry, I found the latter to be slightly deeper.
I found the formulation of this to be OK - I had some issues with other colours in the Spain collection, particularly the darker ones, but this one applied fine. Great shine and great wear also. And this is a colour that can be worn all year round, because it's not dark but not bright either - really gorgeous.

On Face Transplantation
Life and Ethics in Experimental Biomedicine
|Publication Date
|August 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Pivot
Drawing together interview material, medical publications, and first-hand accounts, this book shows that what is being remade in the burgeoning medical field of face transplantation is not only the lives of patients, but also the very ways that state institutions, surgeons, and families make sense of rights, claims for inclusion, and life itself. This sophisticated account traces the work done by medical and bureaucratic elites to make the life threatening operation a clinical reality. Working within the context of increasing ethical scrutiny, their endeavour has resulted in the delineation of the 'ideal patient' of face transplantation: a person whose particular state of health and suffering allows the operation to be performed given current technical constraints. The operation has introduced into the lives of face transplant recipients a profoundly new sense of personhood in which they continue to negotiate questions of how to relate to their new biology and to those around them.

In a statement released on Aug. 17, Russell said:"Regarding the
closures, while the innovation behind Russell's next-generation ETF
products received substantial interest in general, the market for
them is still in its early days."
In part this is true.
Russell had-or, really, still has-a splendid array of very niche
ETFs:the Russell Small Cap Low P/E ETF (NasdaqGM:SCLP), the Russell
1000 High Volatility ETF (NYSEArca:HVOL) and the Russell Developed
ex-US High Momentum ETF (NYSEArca:XHMO), to name a few.
Perhaps the market wasn't ready, or maybe will never be ready,
for such specific investment vehicles.
However, another part of this unhappy ending for Russell
shouldn't be overlooked-the fact that the company simply couldn't
compete with the big dogs of the ETF world.
Its most popular ETF is the Russell 1000 Low Volatility ETF
(NYSEArca:LVOL) with $69 million under management. However, both
the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio
(NYSEArca:SPLV) and the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility Index
Fund (NYSEArca:USMV) handily beat LVOL in assets, managing $2.4
billion and $375 million, respectively.
The three funds launched within months of each other last year.
But the ETF world is tough, and the competition for the lowest
management fees is cutthroat. LVOL charges 20 basis points, right
between SPLV's 25 bps and USMV's 15 bps.
Although the low fees were great for investors, it made running
the funds with relatively few assets unsustainable. That's exactly
what my colleague Carolyn Hill pointed out in an earlier
blog-namely that Russell's ETF business wasn't profitable.
Based on July 31 management fees and asset figures, Russell's
yearly revenues for its 26 funds would fall just under $1
However, Russell did decide to spare one ETF from liquidation,
the actively managed Russell Equity Fund (NYSEArca:ONEF) in a
gesture toward the company's strategic shift toward actively
managed ETFs.
As most investors know, passive management outperforms active
strategies nine times out of 10. Also, active ETFs are
significantly less popular among investors than those that track an
At present, actively managed funds in the U.S. enjoy a total of
$8.2 billion in assets-a small fraction of the $1.228 trillion of
total assets. In addition, passive funds are in general much
ONEF was Russell's first ETF. However, since it launched in May
2010, it has amassed a mere $4.2 million in assets, which is less
than the $5 million that most funds use as seed capital.
With an annual management fee of 0.51 percent, ONEF has the
highest fees out of any of Russell's ETF. But based on its fees and
assets, yearly revenue for ONEF would average $21,500-much less
than income on LVOL, which at current rates could bring in $137,755
If Russell is downsizing, why get rid of its most popular ETFs,
such as the Russell Equity Income ETF (NYSEArca:EQIN) and LVOL?
Leaving just one ETF on the market, unless it is truly something
special, raises the probability of failure now that Russell has
already foisted the stigma of fund closures upon itself.
What is the justification of leaving one lone survivor-an
actively managed one at that-that carries a high expense ratio,
trades poorly and has low investor interest already?
The IndexUniverse multifactor fund closure risk system has
pegged 23 out of 26 of Russell's funds at "medium" or "high" risk
of closure. Even before Russell put out its press release late on
Friday, ONEF was put in the "high" closure risk doghouse, and one
has to wonder how long it will stay afloat.
It may just be a placeholder for actively managed funds to come,
or maybe Russell is looking to sell its exemptive relief to a
company that wants to break into the world of active ETFs.
But no matter what it does, it's not at all clear that any new
actively managed Russell ETF will be any more successful at
achieving what ONEF couldn't.

Q: Hi! I am frustrated and hope you can help...I was laid off 2 months ago from a toxic job, but still have not found employment. I have had a few interviews, but nothing has panned out. My most recent interview has me stumped - it went great (I thought), and at the end, the HR rep gave me her card, told me to call/email her any time for an update, and told me things about the 2nd interview. I sent her a thank you letter by email immediately. Then I received a rejection letter in the mail. Any ideas??
A: You raise a common situation that I think many of our readers have experienced during their job hunts. Lets discuss the positives first.
You are no longer in a toxic job.
You have had a few interviews.
There was some initial interest in bringing you back for a second interview.
You understand the importance of sending a thank you note quickly.
What this tells me is that you are probably applying for appropriate jobs for which you are qualified. Your resume is also probably strong. You have an understanding of professional etiquette and have demonstrated that by emailing a thank you note quickly.
I dont know what happened in your specific situation. I can offer several educated guesses but they are guesses and I can not be certain that any one of these reasons apply.
Some of the plausible reasons include:
The employer hired someone else for the position. Another candidate could have been stronger. An internal candidate may have raised their hand during the selection process.
The company did not fill the position. Or the employer has delayed the filling of the position.
There was something about your thank you note that was not well received. Either the content or perhaps a glaring typo?
Perhaps the qualifications or requirements of the job changed? After a hiring manager interviews several candidates, this can happen. After gathering intelligence from candidates, sometimes a different skill set is identified.
HR Reps sometimes have difficulty having these conversations with candidates. While there are candidates who welcome honest feedback, other candidates can become very defensive, even argumentative or belligerent.
Don't let this single outcome impede your search. Dust yourself off and keep swinging.

The day of action was planned jointly with Idle No More grassroots founders as well as regional organizers from across Canada.
"Over the last two years, we have witnessed amazing organizing and mobilizing in Canada – from student movements in Québec, to the 'Defend Our Coast' struggle against pipelines in British Columbia, to scientists speaking out against the 'Death of Evidence,' to the environmental community standing together through the 'Black Out Speak Out' campaign," said Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians. "The time has come for Canada-wide coordinated action against the Harper government's agenda, which is fundamentally changing our society and our country."
Various actions and events will be held today in Ottawa, Montréal, Saint John, Summerside, Windsor, Oakville, London, Guelph, Toronto, Regina, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Edmonton, Campbell River, Kamloops, Kelowna, Comox Valley, Vancouver, Hamilton, Calgary, Sechelt/Sunshine Coast, Winnipeg, Nanaimo, Victoria, and Charlottetown to bring people together and mark the launch of Common Causes.
"The vision of Idle No More is rooted in the protection of water, air, land, and future generations and is guided by Indigenous ways of knowing and the rights of Indigenous sovereignty," said Idle No More co-founder Nina Wilson. "This movement is about education and the revitalization of Indigenous peoples as both knowledge holders and leaders and aims to achieve this through awareness and empowerment of all people."
"We are sending a clear message today. Stephen Harper's Canada does not reflect the values that Canadians share," said Paul Moist, National President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. "Working people have an alternative vision, one where all people, our collective wealth and the environment are respected. We can build an economy in Canada that works for all."
"There are many processes converging, including Common Causes and the People's Social Forum, which just had its founding general assembly this past weekend," said Michel Lambert, Executive Director of Alternatives. "We are building something no political party has done so far – we are creating an opposition that can stop the Harper agenda."
Common Causes is a new assembly of social movements dedicated to defending democracy, the environment, and human rights. Common Causes will launch today with several community actions taking place across the country.

1Now this is the commandment, the statutes and ordinances that Adonai your God commanded to teach you to do in the land you are crossing over to possess
2so that you might fear Adonai your God, to keep all His statutes and mitzvot that I am commanding you and your son and your sons son all the days of your life, and so that you may prolong your days.
3Hear, therefore, O Israel, and take care to do this, so that it may go well with you and you may increase mightily, as Adonai the God of your fathers has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad
4Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one .
5Love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6These words, which I am commanding you today, are to be on your heart.
7You are to teach them diligently to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.
8Bind them as a sign on your hand, they are to be as frontlets between your eyes,
9and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
When You Prosper, Do not Forget
10Now when Adonai your God brings you into the land that He swore to your fathersto Abraham, Isaac and Jacobto give you great and good cities that you did not build,
11and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns dug that you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you eat and are full,
12then watch yourself so that you do not forget Adonai, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
13You must fear Adonai your God and serve Him, and swear by His Name.
14You must not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
15for Adonai your God in the midst of you is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of Adonai your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you from the face of the earth.
16You are not to test Adonai your God, as you tested Him at Massah.
17Diligently keep the mitzvot of Adonai your God, and His testimonies and His statutes that He has commanded you.
18You are to do what is right and good in the sight of Adonai, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and possess the good land that Adonai swore to your fathers
19to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Adonai has spoken.
When Your Son Asks
20When your son asks you in time to come, saying What are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Adonai our God commanded you?
21then you are to tell your son, We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Adonai brought us out from Egypt with a mighty hand.
22Before our eyes Adonai showed signs and wonders, great and terribleon Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house.
23Then He brought us out from there so that He might bring us in, to give us the land that He swore to our fathers.
24Adonai commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Adonai our Godfor our good always, to keep us alive, as is the case this day.
25It will be righteousness to us, if we take care to do all this commandment before Adonai our God, just as He has commanded us.

Charles Barkley is known for his over-sized physique and personality and unfiltered approach to basketball analysis.
Babies know way more than we ever thought possible. Sure the munchkins are ridiculously adorable and all, but don't let their cuteness fool you. Tiny kiddos are smart. In fact, we think they're onto us.
This guy has made all of us laugh for years...he's show business legend, Carl Reiner, & Carl is going to be joining me Monday afternoon on Puffman Show at 4:30. Ca...
February 14th is upon us, so it's time to whip out all the lovey dovey cliches, y'all. We're talking about the stuff we expect on V-Day-- the chocolates, roses and, of course, the proposal stories. It's a pretty cute idea to propose to your significant other on the most romantic day of the year, but with that comes a big, big risk-- that other person might say no. Yikes.
They say you can't judge a book by its cover--well that old adage holds even more true for albums. In preparation for this weekend's Grammy Awards, here's a handy guide to what the nominated albums would really be telling you if they had the freedom to be completely honest about the albums' content and creators.
They can cite healthcare costs all they want, we know the real reason the Post Office is going to stop Saturday deliveries in August. Clearly, it is because they never redesigned their bags to hold tacos and mail. People love the tacos. But they need their mail. Way to drop the ball, USPS.
Last night's Super Bowl was certainly eventful. What with the power outage and the Beyonce's thighs, there were many jokes to be made. And joke the internet did. Some took to Twitter, others prefer more visual tactics. Here is their work. The best Super Bowl XLVII memes on the web.
In most scenarios we're totally against the idea of picking up a hitchhiker. These people can easily be crazed maniacs. But in the case of this video, it was the driver who turned out to be insane.
What? No lights? A power surge caused a blackout at Super Bowl 2013, which gave people on Twitter plenty of opportunity to move on from Beyonce's half-time performance.
This contender in Doritos' Crash the Super Bowl commercial contest features a goat that just can't get enough of that nacho cheese taste.

I just found this list the other day. After snooping around a bit I figured it looks like a pretty interesting group.
I've been a "fair weather biker" for several years, but finally decided to get more serious with commuting to work this year. I decided to cancel the plates on my car to force myself to ride to work. The round trip is 23km (14mi).
I look forward to some interesting conversations in the future & thank all those who have gone before me on this list for the valuable archive resource that has resulted.

Downloadable Content has become for gaming what bonus features has for DVD film releases, essential if you want to confirm its success. If a game doesn't have DLC te publisher doesn't want to know about it. DLC adds longevity to games, it allows for re-invention or re-iteration, but ultimately it allows for more money and lower distribution costs.
Other games offer you new kits, outfits, purely aesthetic downloads that do nothing to alter the game in any meaningful way. No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise let players purchase clothes and beam katanas for Travis to wear and use, yet neither altered the game in any way. Most famously of all was the extortionate price of Horse Armour in TESIV: Oblivion, something that Bethesda have tried very hard to get away from; in fairness to Bethesda they were the first to deal with DLC and so no pricing structure had really been set up yet. Needless to say was that really even a necessary piece of DLC to create?
On the other side of the spectrum you have the lazy DLC releases. These do add something to the game, but they add what should have originally been there, or indeed what was once there and then taken out, Fallout 3's Broken Steel shows this perfectly. Adding the endgame part to the story, allowing players to continue exploring the wasteland, and allow for the changes of the main story to begin to take shape, it is strange that it had to come as DLC and wasn't something included in its original release. The DLC that provides a full unlock for a games content seems to have replaced the now seemingly archaic cheat code, meaning that now companies can charge those too lazy, unskilled or busy to complete the game fully. Some games, like Crackdown and Crackdown 2, offer these unlocks for free (Keys to the City) so players can enjoy and explore what the game has to offer without being penalised for not being able to finish the game themselves.
For a reviewer, and massive gameplayer like myself, DLC is a double edged sword. Its offerings are tempting, but the graft to enjoy everything on offer for all the games is near impossible. With the exception of Oblivions DLC I have not finished a single piece for any other game. Fallout 3 I managed to complete 2 of the 5, having left one entirely untouched; Borderlands offered 4 packs alongside its already lengthy and impressive main game, and yet not a single pack has been finished due to sheer lack of time. I find myself skipping the more instantly enjoyable packs of DLC that would provide content like cars and multiplayer maps/levels as they don't seem meaty enough, yet picking up a beastly expansion to an RPG tends to end up with an unfinished offering.
Ultimately DLC may be toted as content that is developed in the fans favour, but most of the time it is weighted completely in the publishers interests. Short development times, low publishing costs and high returns all shouts that it DLC is an essential component to any games portfolio. Adding to this is the hype they can generate around DLC to make it instantly marketable, people clamber over each other for the latest Call of Duty pack, despite it essentially being the same as before but with a new visual coat of paint. Most annoyingly is the announcement of DLC before the game has even launched! It seems that DLC will forever be a part of the industry as players find that new t-shirt, extra grassy knoll or virtual weapon just too enticing for their wallet to resist.
One Comment to " That DLC Problem "
Is it really here to stay? As money gets tighter and the Industry keeps jewing gamers out of money, more gamers will just adapt and find new ways to circumvent this DLC plague. Whether it is by becoming a pirate/hacker and getting the content that way, or passing on the game for a year before the complete version with all the DLC comes out on disc- things aren't going to quite work out the way developers believe.

I'm new to riding and I have a training question. I have been doing some research since I started riding, about a month ago. I am overweight and getting into shape now. I have two goals: a 30 mile ride in October and, next summer, the Bike Ride Across Georgia. So I am building up my endurance because I really was starting from zero.
So here is my question. I read that I should be building my base by doing a "long ride" each week. Right now I ride for about 8.5 miles, five times a week, which feels like exertion, gets the endorphins going, but doesn't leave me feeling drained and exhausted. Should I do a substantially longer distance one day a week? At this phase, what would a "long ride" be for me? I am learning to be very sensitive to my body and the distance I'm doing now, which I'm increasing by about 10 percent each week, feels pretty good--I sleep well, my appetite has moderated, I feel good.
Any advice, O Wise Bike Gurus?

Sorcery (7)
I originally made this deck as a budget deck when I first started playing, it had twice as many theft effects, and a bunch of jank that has been replaced. I would like to revisit it and make it more powerful. I am trying to turn it into a borros control deck. The main stategy is to get sunforger, and try to control the board. Brion helps along with theft effects, sacing and recurring creatures, and gaining life. I would love some suggestions on how to improve the power level of the deck, improve its consistancy, and turn it into more of a control deck.
Cards I am considering:
Goblin Bombardment - Sac outlet, goes infinite with Sun Titan/Angelic renewal
Loyal Retainers - Got a commanders Aresonal, seems like a good addition
Shattering Pulse/Vandalblast - I need more artifact destruction. I also need some enchant removal, ideas?
Mother of Runes - all around great card
Reveillark - returns creatures (inc karmic guide/kiki-jiki/loyal retainers)
Yosei, the Morning Star - great for controlling an opponent, can be returned with Loyal Retainers
Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon - could change the less useful non-basics to basics and make room for these.
Stonecloaker - Seems pretty powerful when used correctly, especially as I don't have much graveyard hateTormod's Crypt, Relic of Progenitus - I need some extra graveyard hate, but I don't know which is better, or what to cut for them
Things I am considering cutting:
All non-instant theft effects. Instant speed theft effects are great as a defensive mechanism as well as offensive, and blind with anger/grab the reins/temporal insanity can be found with sun forger, and word of seizing can grab non-creature permanents, so I will probably keep them around.
Savage Beating - Can be a complete blow-out, but as I am moving towards control and less aggro, it doesn't work as well.
Preacher - originally put in because a friend made a dream halls progenitus deck, pretty underwhelming most of the time
Aladdin - normally dies as soon as he is active
Bazaar Trader - a relic from when the deck had 20 theft effects, no longer very powerful
1 of Darksteel Plate/Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots - haste is great, but I don't think I need both Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves when I can get them with stonehewer/stoneforge, and the hexproof/shroud is often more relevant. Darksteel plate is useful, especially when playing larger games with lots of wraths, though I could cut it for my gy recursion, so I wont mind if things are destroyed.
I think some of the creatures need to be changed to help my mana curve. 13 of my creatures are cmc 6+, with a further 6 and 5cmc. I either need some more creatures/spells at lower cost instead, or more artifact ramp to help get to 5/6/7 cmc quicker.
Notable inclusions
Jester's Cap was an addition as many of my playgroup started to make combo decks, and half of them fold to jester's cap
Staff of Nin - the best solution I found to the lack of card draw in r/w, would be open to other suggestions (or additional suggestions for card draw)
35 Lands - it seems a little low, and perhaps it is, though the first thing I often do is try and get land tax (enlightened tutor, or find sunforger -> enlightened tutor -land tax) I possibly need either more mana rocks, 1 more land, or another way of finding land taxKamahl - probably one of the creature to cut, put in to keep slivers and tokens in check in my play group, been pretty good though could be cut for better cards
Baneslayer - just an awesome creature, needed as there are a few kalia decks in my meta
Any suggestions on where to go from here would be great. I have been slowly changing this deck as my collection grows and I am probably too fond of it to properly evaluate its downfalls. Some fresh thoughts and ideas would be appreciated greatly!
i also run brion, i actually just left equipment mechanic to switch to more steal spells heh, i found that the equipment mechanic was too clunky in multi-player, its amazing in 1v1 though. with steal i find that i can lock down the board because no one wants to play any creatures plus some artifact/ench spot removal and its pretty controlly.
November 9, 2012 1:11 p.m.
Just built my Brion, only played 1 game and solitared it once and im already seeing a lot of potential combos =P one in particular is Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Geist-Honored Monk , make a new monk every turn and you get 2 more 1/1 flying spirit tokens so it just gets bigger every turn, swing, fling, repeat. Also got the Ajani Goldmane avatar token combo off in the game.

Park hours are 6 AM to 10 PM.
Mine Falls Park is one of the most instantly recognizable and vital parts of the city of Nashua. The park is located in the heart of the city and was purchased in 1969 with city and federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) monies. The 325-acre park includes forest, wetlands, and open fields; it is bordered on the north by the Nashua River and on the south by the Millpond and canal system.
Visitors enjoy numerous passive recreation opportunities such as walking, boating, fishing, cross-country skiing, and biking. The park also includes several fields for organized sports.
The name "Mine Falls" derives from the 1700s, when low quality lead was supposedly mined from the island below the falls. In the early 1800s the potential of the Nashua River to drive the wheels of industry was recognized. Workers used shovels and mules to dig the three-mile long canal, which provides a vertical drop of 36 feet at the mills.
The Gatehouse near the falls was built in 1886—with the first gates being built in 1826—and it still brings the river to the Millpond. Currently, the gatehouse is the focus of a middle school student led restoration project. The hydroelectric plant near the falls was built in 1984.
In 1987 the Nashua River Canal and the Nashua Manufacturing Company Historic District (the Millyard) were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1992 the park trails were designated part of the New Hampshire Heritage Trail system, which extends 130 miles along the Merrimack River from Massachusetts to Canada.

Technology gives an extra kick to the spa services estheticians perform at A Little Skin Studio. In addition to the Clayton Shagal products they use during 12 kinds of facials, they rely on LED light therapy and microcurrent tightening to fight acne and signs of aging. Unlike people who have been beaten senseless with scepters, the studio's not afraid of a little flair; treatment rooms bear funky zebra-print rugs.
