Return to Betty Mahmoody book reviews
posts on 9/18/2009 1:52:25 PM
It's been 10 years since escaping from Lebanon with my 3 children. I have lived in hiding since returning to the US and not spoken publicly of my experience. The fear is still very real and I know much of this may be kept alive by my own need to prevent anything from ever separating me from my children against my will and their best interests. I know there are others like me that carry this burden and responsibility and would find solace in having the opportunity to share their own stories with other survivors. How can I find this support? Who can I trust? Who can imagine the world I have chosen to live in, in order to keep my children safe?(yes,he may not physically have control of me now, but my fear of him (even after all this time)still gives him control over my life. How can I get in touch with these women who live their lives with new names and identities, as I do, yet carry deep within themselves an experience that will forever color their perceptions of the world around them and the direction they must go? I hope someone can direct me in my quest to make contact. Thanks for a badly needed bridge.

This was an extremely educational message. It's hard for me to believe that the Spaniards are so dark ages! I look at Spain as a beautiful country to visit, the men are gorgeous and the women beautiful; I never envisioned that women were treated so badly there. It makes my 20 years married to a Palestinian Arab and having my children yanked away from me with all contingent problems then, and now, when they are grown seem so tame. I experienced nothing like this woman did but I thought I was experiencing the worst! Was it Oprah who said how fortunate we women are who are born in the US.

What happened to Betty Mahmoody is far from being a problem with Iranians, Arabs or Muslim. I lived, and am living a similar experience with a Spaniard, his Spanish family in Spain. The age old traditions and cultural norms of the domination and subordination of women is not a religious based problem, even if religious dictates and norms do encourage it, it is a culturally based problem. I have had many Muslim and Middle Eastern friends over the years, and the same disrespect, abuse and subordination they recieved from their husband's and his family I recieved from my ex-husband and his family. After 17 years of living with an abusive husband, the last 4 years of which were insupportable, I filed a complaint against my husband's repeated threats to kill me if I did not stop my efforts to become financially independent and leave him. In retaliation a corrupt, antiquated judicial system did the following: -abducted my children -embezzled all of my assets ($1 million)and threw me on the street destitute, obliging me to return to the US -made me financially responsable for the mortgage on our home -obliged me to pay child support to my ex-husband -and now are in the process of initiating criminal proceedings for non-payment of said support so that if I ever return to Spain for my children I will be incarcerated All of this with US Consulate complacently watching AND with lawyers recommended by the US Embassy in Spain. Amnesty International reports that foreign women in Spain in domestic abuse cases have 1/4 of 1% chance of survival. And, I can assure you that the judicial system in Spain is no different than Arab ones. Laws may have changed, but since no one within the judicial system is obligated to respect these laws and the constitution they mean absolutely nothing. During my divorce in Spain I was tortured by the system, worse than my ex-husband and his family ever did. What they did to me is no different that the honor killings and suicides of Muslim women. And, I know understand why and how these women are driven to suicide. More and more women around the world are being killed in their efforts to extricate themselves from abusive relationships and husbands. Cultural biases, often perpetuated in the media, that this is somehow a Muslim problem does more harm than good to the battle these women are fighting. If my case had happened in a "democratic" Muslim country the media would be all over it, but since it happened in Spain, my case is politically incorrect. More info. on my case can be found by googling my name.

I do feel that Betty Mahmoody did the right thing. I have been in a marraige to a man of a different culture. When I watched the movie "Not without my daughter", it was a big reminder to me of just how my ex husbands family acted. You know, the sisters and brothers and whole family fighing in their foreign language and then of course there is always one single sister with no kids who has the biggest mouth and the ugliest frown on her face. My ex husband's family was not Iranian. They were some strange cult that spoke in German and wore a uniform. I can't say what they are to protect the innocent ones that are not like he was. If Betty Mahmoody had stayed in Iran, no telling how things may have turned out. We all know what would have happened if she had to leave without her daughter. I don't feel one bit sorry for her ex husband. He HAD a very good job as a doctor in the US and he HAD a home WITH his daughter but instead chose to try and control someone else by lying and tricking. What Betty did was very dangerous but she was very brave. I don't know if I could have made it like she did but then again, I would have NEVER agreed to go to a place like Iran in the first place. If my husband were persistant and I was afraid of him taking off with my daughter to Iran I would have left him while he was at work and I would have went into hiding. Anyway, great job Betty Mahmoody!

reaction to the Dr's death??
posts on 8/21/2009 7:33:08 AM
The crux of the matter is Betty's husband dceived her. If one were to turn the tables and imagine a western man taking a traditional/rural woman ( his wife) to a capital city of a developed westernised country and then telling her this is her home, till death, I don't she would manage even a month. It is sad and tragic that Mahtob grew up without her father but hey, wasn't that fate spelt out for her, sooner or later Betty's husband would have deported her, locked her up somewhere or killed her and Mahtob would have grown up without her mother. I wonder if Betty's husband remarried and had any other kids?
posts on 8/11/2009 6:14:28 PM
Betty Mahmoody tries very hard to show respect to the Iranian culture in her book. She does not overgeneralize about the Iranian citizens. As a matter of fact she is quite explicit when she describes how she was aided by very good Iranian people. She also describes in her 2nd book how when she got back to America she did not want Mahtob to be ashamed or regretful of her Iranian ancestory. See kept that part of Mahtob's heritage alive for her daughter by still preparing Iranian meals, etc...

I think that one person's experiences should be valid. People complain about generalities, but unfortunately generalities of all types are often valid in a lot of people. She wrote of her own experiences and what she felt. She has a right to that, whether or not anyone likes it or not.
posts on 8/1/2009 11:45:29 AM
Its not what Betty wrote regardless of the exaggeration but how she did it. She married into one muslim family during a controversial time in Iranian history and yet she generalises the whole Iranian culture as a stereotype of her husband and his family. It is as if i married a Catholic man in the United States who has a history of violence and crime and wrote about all Americans as criminals and the religion as one encoraging violence. Look at the KKK's who still exist in America today. They are a Christian group who kill people that are different from the colour of their skin to their religion. What she did was not right in expressing 'her experiences' to that of the whole Iranian culture. Finally, it is the stupidity of the public who believe everything they see and hear on the media without really knowing anything for themselves!

Betty, I don't know how often you check this post. I will leave this message for you and others that happen upon. Recalling our conversation last Spring in Ovid, I place this post. American media for what ever reason or rational has been, except for NPR, silent on the extreme situation the Baha'is of Iran now find themselves. Recently I was handed a copy of the Sentinel project. In brief it deals with the issue of genocide now approaching the entire, what remains, Baha'i population within Iran. If you want this report, please email me. Edward

Gabby looking for doctor's OK
Marian Gaborik, out since Oct. 15 with a separated left shoulder, participated in the Rangers' morning skate for the third straight time and will be examined by the team's doctors tonight. Gaborik hopes if all goes well, he'll be cleared for contact drills, which is the last step before returning to the lineup, something Gaborik has said he hopes to do during the four-game homestand that opens tonight against the Blues.
"I'll see the doctors again tonight," Gaborik said after coming off the ice this morning. "I still need to strengthen it (the shoulder). Hopefully, I'll get the OK from the doctors and I'll do a practice with the team."
Gaborik worked after the morning skate with assistant Mike Sullivan and healthy scratch Matt Gilroy, doing some intensive skating drills with stops and starts finished off by a one-timer at goalie Henrik Lundqvist. There were also three-lap conditioning skates.
"It was a good day for skating and I took a lot of shots," Gaborik said. "Hopefully (the shoulder) will respond well. Every day it progresses more and more."
The Rangers also host the Capitals on Tuesday, the Sabres on Thursday and the Oilers in a matinee next Sunday.

My new fish
Ok so i just purchased the last couple of fish i will put in my tank I know my tank is sorta overstocked but the fish are very compatable and i have drifwood and plants in the tank
So here are my fish-tell me what you think
3 neon tetras
1 male fancy guppy
1 female fancy guppy
1 glass catfish
1corry catfish
1 snail
The tank is a 4 weeks old 5 gallon minibow runnin a millenium 1000 power filter and a in tank spong filter
keep a close check on the guppy population. definately do-able but don't slack on maintenance.
Are you saying my guppies will mate?-If they do mate then i will take the babys out and sell them for like a quarter to a freind of mine.
Also i do not slack on maintainece i actualy sorta enjoy it :D
guppies give live birth and spawn like rabbits. as long as you maintain it well you should hopefully do alright.
Yeah you should be okay, especially if you're giving the fry to a friend. Guppies do breed constantly, but since you only have 1 female the cycles will be far enough apart to not be a huge problem, so long as you're factoring in the constant breeding. I enjoy watching my guppy fry grow, I'm about 2 weeks away from being able to put them in a community tank safely!
Sounds like you have an awesome tank though, if you have a digital camera be sure to post a pic!
Glass catfish will need to be kept in shoals, not singly or in pairs. To keep them singly is impractical.http://www.smilies.our-local.co.uk/i...iles/shake.gif
They will easily pine away and therefore, will not last long.
Add your neons by 6. 3 is not enough IMO.
blue i cant buy any more neons or glass catfish :cry:
I would love to but my tank is not big enuff.
my glass cat has been very shy he did not eat the other day so do you think if i buy one more glass cat he will be alright?
Is there any way i can hand feed him so at least he will survive intill i get my 20 long around christmas?
cause he dident eat so much as a flake the first feeding :(
OH and by the way the neons are doing very well blue I think 3 is enuff for now
Sounds like you have an awesome tank though, if you have a digital camera be sure to post a pic!
Thanks! :D wonce my fish are good and comfortable i will post a pick
actualy blue i dont think he will survive in my tank.I just read a article about them and it said they cant be cept singularly :(
Do you think the lf i purchase him from can take him back for a month or two?
wait blue before you respond
I have decided that i will return the glass fish tomorrow
i called them and they said they can take him :D
But i here that guppies are herbevors what is the best way to suplement there need for vegies?
Blanched greens cliped to the side of the tank?
sea weed bits?
alge waffers?
or my live plants?-I have seen them nibling on them?

The site, developed by digital agency The Raft, has a gift theme, and brings the Old Git character to life in a downloadable screensaver, which acts as a reminder for important dates.
Users can play a viral game challenging them to stamp grapes to fill bottles, without wearing the old man out, while a range of greeting cards is also available to download.
Dan White, marketing director for Boutinot, said: "The wine has spread as a tongue-in-cheek gift and we wanted to extend it online. We want people to think about Old Git when they are buying gifts for Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas."
Wine details and tasting notes, retailer links and an online buying facility adds the trading face, and traffic is driven to the site through offline advertising, starting with a campaign in GQ, and the inclusion of the web address on back-labels.
White added: "The point of the site is to take people from the back of the bottle, to the site and promote the brand."

Are Gulf carriers getting too big for their boots?
Canada denies the UAE valuable landing slots while European carriers seek restrictions. It should be fine, as long as everyone acts in a mature fashion. Unfortunately, this is the Middle East.
October 11, 2010 2:30 by Samuel Potter
Plenty of news in the air industry this week, as GCC carriers seem to be falling out with just about everybody. The latest news is that European airlines are ganging together to ask the European Union to contain the expansion of Gulf carriers in the region. The European companies think that airlines like Etihad and Emirates pose a major threat to their market share.
Air France Chief Executive Officer Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said, "Europe is at the crossroads of international air travel, and this is a role we need to value and defend. What we're telling the authorities is that we need a strategy that gives us a chance to resist."
According to Emirates 24-7, top European airline chiefs will also meet to ask for changes that will make it easier for their companies to get credit. At present they cannot get plane financing deals that are anywhere near as competitive as the government-backed deals seen in the Gulf.
"Our ability to fund the acquisition of new aircraft is handicapped by the so-called 'home-country' rule," BA spokesman Paul Marston was quoted as saying by Bloomberg. "These guarantees are not operating in the way they were intended — and we therefore urge the EU to amend the rules to remove the competitive distortions that have developed."
Gourgeon says that a company like Emirates pays very little in the way of airport charges in or fuel tax, and avoids the "social charges" faced by European companies. "When you're supported in this way you can offer the end product at very low prices," he said. "They don't pay tax — they don't even have a word for it." [Yes, we do Pierre, we call it "tax."]
Meanwhile, clearly eager to get itself into a showdown before Europe makes its move, the UAE has managed to pick a fight with Canada. Talks between the two countries have been going on for years to try to secure more landing slots for UAE airlines Emirates and Etihad, but they finally broke down this week when Canada turned down the request. The UAE carriers were seeking dozens of new slots on the basis that the six weekly flights currently permitted are not enough to meet demand. But Transport Canada, the government agency that oversees the airline industry, is worried such a move would damage Air Canada, according to Bloomberg.

Airlines such as Air Canada cannot possibly compete with Emirates and Etihad who get massive support from the government. At the end of the day, it's Canada's airport so it's their call as to who lands there. The UAE, with its own "it's our country, we can do as we please" attitude just doesn't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.
Also, kudos to Kipp for being the first UAE media outlet to mention the military base issue in this story.
Air Canada (with Canadian French speaking) and Air France are trying to monopoly the air travel between Europe and Canada.
Emirates air line does not get a massive support from the government.
Emirates air line provide many jobs for the people that operate on.
i think the solution for U.A.E is:
To buy the lobbies groups in Canada specially the french speaking people "you can find many with north African Arab background".
make a campaign inside Canada to show the benefits of opening the air to Emirates.
counter attack all the lies and cheap fallacy against Emirates air lines in the Canadian media.
Mr. Sal. Go and buy a box of rocks so you'll have something of a similar intellectual capability to converse with. If you think Emirates and Etihad don't reap the benefits of partial or complete government ownership, no taxation, and cheap regional labour costs – you're deluding yourself.
The Emirates increasingly reminds me of the Virgin Group and Richard Branson; constantly trumpeting free trade and competition – but generating most of its revenues from business units that are in limited competition or outright monopoly situations.
If Canada wants to trade Camp Mirage for the issue of landing rights that's their right, especially given the incredibly petty reaction of the UAE to deny landing rights for Canada's armed forces minister and chief of staff to land at their own base.
I am baffled at Mr Sal's idea to raise up a French-speaking lobby group of north African-Arab background to take on the Canadian government. What a great plan. Does he really think a small minority group who is probably delighted to be enjoying Canada's freedoms will gleefully rise up against a country with which they owe no loyalty? And even they did rise up, what would it achieve apart from a racist reaction from any Canadian Islamophobes out there?

Best Growing Plant
What is the an easy and fast growing plant?
You can consider Ceratophyllum demersum(hornwort), Elodea densa, Lemna minor(duckweeds), Vallisnerias, Vesicularia dubyana(Javan moss), Microsorium pteropus(Javan ferns) and Hygrophila polysperma.
These are fast growing if the conditions are correct. All plants need proper lighting and suitable nutrient levels to grow.
I would suggest doing some reading to be sure your tank situation is optimal for live plants. I'd also be sure that you are not keeping vegetarian fish, and if you are, to be selective on the live plants you work with. Some are heartier than others.
One name I didn't see listed above that's also easy is Anubias.
well swords will grow in any tank, i am talking about the common one you see being sold in bunches- i would prefer something with a nicer shade of green like java fern it does well in most tanks and its not that fussy- give it a great home and its one of the best plants you can buy- simply beautiful when matured.
I've never seen swords sold in bunches... they are a rooted plant. Are you sure it's a sword? There are many pretty shades of green, and while java fern is one of them, it is only one option. Sword plants tend to need a lot more light than some of the other plants, and if there are plecos in the tank, swords are usually the first plants eaten.
Wisteria will grow faster than any plant I have ever seen if you fertilize and have 2ish w/g of light.
Sunset Hygro and Cabomba all grow really fast in medium lighting and moderate fertilizing.
Anacharis/elodea will grow like a weed regardless of your setup as long as you have light and fish.
Hornwort is the one I've always found to be the easiest to grow without any special requirements other than fish and light.

I Need a Hero
Seeking a bomb-throwing, passionate, visionary, liberal Scalia for a seat on the Supreme Court.
Folks are wondering what kind of thumbprint Barack Obama should be leaving on the U.S. Supreme Court. It's hardly a theoretical question. Justice John Paul Stevens will soon be 89. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 75. And while both have insisted they aren't going anyplace anytime soon, the rumor mill continues to whisper that Justice David Souter (a mere 'tween at 69) is also thinking about packing it in.
The prospect of a liberal slot on the court being filled by a liberal president has some liberals dreaming big—as was evidenced in a piece last weekend, by Adam Liptak, asking whether President Obama should appoint someone "who by historical standards is a full-throated liberal, a lion like Justice William J. Brennan Jr. or Justice Thurgood Marshall?"
Today's high court is balanced between four conservatives and four moderate liberals. Moderate-conservative Anthony Kennedy remains the deciding vote in hotly contested cases. But liberals have long fussed that despite this 4-1-4 lineup, the court has still lurched far to the right of mainstream American thinking. One of the most vocal proponents of this view is Harvard's Cass Sunstein, who wrote in 2007 of a massive rightward tilt at the high court: "What was once on the extreme right is now merely conservative. What was once conservative is now centrist. What was centrist is now left wing. What was once on the left no longer exists." To those who doubt that the court is now more conservative than ever, a study (co-authored by Richard Posner) last year showed that four of the five most conservative justices to serve on the court since 1937 are sitting on the current Supreme Court.
But beneath the claims that the court has shifted radically rightward with each successive appointment lurks the sense that the remaining liberals have somehow let us down. Right or wrong, critics continue to insist that even though each team has four players, they have the lions and we have the Aristocats. The University of Chicago's Geoffrey Stone describes the current court as "flying on one wing." As parlor games go, What's Wrong With the Liberals of the Roberts Court? only gets you so far. As Liptak's article makes plain, beyond vague assertions that the court's liberals are just too, well, Jarlsberg-on-mayo-on-white, it's never clear what seems to be lacking there. Indeed, the most consistent aspect of the liberal grousing about the court is that there is no left-wing counterpart for Justice Antonin Scalia.
This longing for a Scalia is often cast in purely acoustic terms. Liberals evidently want someone loud.Here's Geoffrey Stone telling Liptak that he's looking for "a really powerful, articulate, moral, passionate voice on the left." Nan Aron, president of the Alliance for Justice, echoed that wish when she told the Los Angeles Times: "I think Obama would want to make a statement with his Supreme Court justices. We hope for a justice who can replace the lost voice of an Earl Warren or Thurgood Marshall or William Brennan." And my colleague Emily Bazelon has also asked for more noise from the left: "The goal should be to find someone who can speak with a roar that matches Scalia's."

In Freedom's Cause
Jim Hodges Productions
20601 S.E. 74th Street
Newalla, OK 74857
This unabridged reading of G.A. Henty's
In Freedom's Cause
covers events that took place in 1296, when Edward I (called Longshanks) stormed Berwick, massacred the whole town, conquered the Scottish army of John Baliol, and proclaimed himself King of Scotland. The Scottish nobles acquiesced to his brutal and tactless rule. A capable and heroic leader named William Wallace led the people in a rebellion for freedom.
The CD is 11 hours and 33 minutes--all on one CD in MP3 format. This means that the audio on these CDs can be played on your computer, or on an MP3-compatible CD player, or on an MP3-compatible DVD player. They will not play on a regular CD player.
What we appreciated most about this rendition of Henty's story is the fact that it is unabridged and is not dramatized. The story is simply and sweetly read, with plenty of expression and feeling, not unlike how you would read to your child. It leaves room for imagination and has no background noise to distract from Mr. Henty's beautiful writing.
These CDs would be great for any homeschool environment. They cover history wonderfully and accurately and give the child an example of great literature even before he is ready to read at this level.

Food Demand to Double by 2050, Urban Agriculture to Become Increasingly Important
Posted By Brit Liggett On November 22, 2011 @ 11:08 am In Architecture,Design,global development,Urban design,Urban Farming | 2 Comments
A new report from researchers at the University of Minnesota says that the world's food demand will double by 2050 [1], however thankfully there is a gaping hole in their research – the team neglected to consider advancements in urban farming [2], which could provide agricultural solutions for Earth's growing human population (as it is already doing [3] in places like Havana, Cuba). The University of Minnesota researchers estimate that an area the size of the United States would need to be cleared by developing nations in order to make enough to feed their growing communities, and that clearing that area will significantly increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere leading to increased climate change. Or, we could build farms on empty urban lots [4], on city rooftops and in community spaces and feed ourselves on the open land we already have by using new technologies being developed in empty storefronts in London [5] and high-tech laboratories nestled into Subway sandwich shops [6] in Japan.
"Agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions could double by 2050 if current trends in global food production continue," said David Tilman, Regents Professor of Ecology in the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences. "Global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions." Unfortunately, though they've released an enlightening report, the team seems to offer only simple solutions of trying to get richer nations to help poorer nations increase crop yield and use nitrogen fertilizers more efficiently. For some reason, they completely leave out all of the innovative advancements being made in the world of agricultural sustainability [7].
This study presents a huge issue that is facing the world in more arenas than just agriculture. If we are to solve these daunting problems that are staring the human race in the face we've got to think outside the box of conventionality. In the report, the researchers from the University of Minnesota [8] offer up three different scenarios. In order to make enough room to grow plants first off we could clear more land, secondly we could increase yields on current agricultural land or finally we could do a combination of both. Perhaps the researchers working on this team didn't look out their windows at the lawns that most definitely spread out from the building they are researching in and think that, "by golly, there's some open space right there. Let's plant a vegetable garden and feed ourselves."

Granite Bay stars shine at Optimist game
By: Brett Ransford, Press Tribune Correspondent
There was one last hoorah before the region's top volleyball players ship out. The Optimist All-Star Game had the area's best crashing the nets and dazzling spectators at Capital Christian High School Friday night. The 12th Annual Jake Schales boys game lasted just three games as the Sierra Foothill League-dominated north team fell to the team from the south 25-13, 27-25, 25-23. The north squad consisted of five Granite Bay players, three from Rocklin, two Nevada Union, and one each from Woodcreek, Whitney and Placer High. Senior hitter Mason Jaynes of Granite Bay took game honors with the north player MVP award. The 6-foot-2 setter/outside hitter leaves this summer for California State University Chico. Having been part of back-to-back Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championship teams, Jaynes said the game was a chance to have some fun before leaving for college. "This was a fun scrimmage between the best teams from around the Sacramento area before high school is completely over," Jaynes said. "We're able to get together one last time. It's cool to have so many Granite Bay players on this team, but it wasn't just them to make this team. I'm off to Chico and pretty much done around here." Joining Jaynes from the section-title winning Grizzlies were Tyler Towery, Tom Patterson, Garrick Monaghan and Scotty Santor. Playing alongside them were three players from the Rocklin team they beat for the section final - Braxton Drunstone, Tyler Makanin and Mark Van Camp. Cameron Deatherage of Woodcreek, Whitney's Chris Adams and Placer's Brenden Lewis joined the roster as well. Coaching the most talented high school team in the Sac-Joaquin Section for two years running was good preparation for his duties as the head coach of the north team for Granite Bay head man Bruce Honberger. In the Optimist game every player has the chance to get some action on the court as substitutions flow freely from both sides of the net. Honberger chose to keep rotating through his 13-player roster. "Quite honestly it's a blast to coach all of these guys," Honberger said "We don't need to spend a lot of time on technique and skill so we just fine tuned some things and let it roll. This game is kind of a different animal in my opinion. It's all about the seniors and we were fortunate to have a really good, deep group of seniors this year. It's really about these boys and letting them do a last showcase of talent. It's not really about winning at all." Honberger's toughest job in the laid-back all-star setting may have been adjusting when the three Rocklin stars left early in order to get to their graduation ceremony. The north team may have dropped three straight games, but collectively it is a group that features an all-star game MVP, five section champions and 13 players with futures at some of the best universities in the country.

Firstly, great forum!
Ok so I am planning to ride from London to Paris at the end of september (8 weeks away) (60 miles, then a 4 hour rest on the ferry, then another 100miles to Paris so a total of 160 miles with a 4 hour stop in the middle). Here are my vitals:
Age: 29
Height: 5'8" (1.72m)
Weight: 160 punds (72kg)
I've only been riding (semi seriously) for a couple of months after buying an entry level road bike (trek 1000). I'm reasonable fit - i play soccer regularly, did a marathon in April and hit the gym at least a couple of times a week.
My longest ride to date was 60 miles (3hrs 25mins in the saddle, about 4hrs 15mins in total including stops). There were some rolling hills which were pretty nasty (probably due to my lack of climbing skills!) but nowhere near mountains! In fact it was similar terrain to the 1st stage of the Tour De France which they say surprised many riders in terms of hilliness! By the end i was pretty knackered however I was happy with the time and felt my hydration/feeding was spot on, so no issues there.
Most of my other rides to date have been in the region of 1/1.5 hours, covering a distance of between 16-25 miles. (see attached)
Having done a fair bit of reading on HRM training zones I am a bit worried I am training too hard as I often find it hard to ride in zone 3, let alone 1 or 2. Using the ( i know it is unreliable) age minus formula my MHR is 190. I t seems most of my rides are at in the 80-85% of MHR zones which I have read in a few places is 'no-mans land'.
Due to work etc I can only really get long rides in at the weekends. During the week I am limited to shortish rides in the evening or more usually the gym at work during the day, which I am keen to utilise the odd hour/hour and a half I can spend in there each day. I am thinking about doing a few spin classes and maybe spending some time on the indoor ergo trainer things to maybe do some intervals / hill workouts.
Has anyone got any advice about specific workouts I could use or can see anything I am doing wrong with my training as a whole? Any advice re my training intensity would be appreciated!
Thank you!

- 1 tablespoon of oil
1Boil 4 cups of water. Take packets of Achiote seeds and brew them like tea in the boiling water.
2In a frying pan, sautee onions in the oil.
3Combine rice, achiote water, remaining 2 cups of water, and sauteed onions in a large pot or a rice cooker.
4If using a pot on the stovetop: heat to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer approximately 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Do not remove lid while cooking.

- Instead of using achiote seeds, you can skip step 1 and just add 4 tablespoons of ground achiote (annato) along with 6 cups water, rice, and sauteed onions in the pot or rice cooker. Use more if you like it redder, less if you like it orange.
- For added flavor dice and cook several pieces of bacon then add diced onion and sauté with the bacon in the bacon grease before adding it to rice.

Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea)
|Sterne arctique
|Sterna (1)
|Wingspan: 66-77 cm (2)
Length (including tail streamers): 33-39 cm (2)
|95-120 g (3)
The Arctic tern is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1). It is included in the Birds of Conservation Concern Amber List (medium conservation concern) (3). Receives general protection in Great Britain under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and listed under Annex I of the EC Birds Directive. Listed as a Species of European Conservation Concern (4).
The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a long-distance migrant, making a staggering annual round-trip from its Arctic or northern temperate breeding range to the Antarctic where it spends winter (3). This is probably the longest migration undertaken by any bird (2) and means that the Arctic tern sees more sunlight each year than any other animal, as they experience a 'second summer' by travelling south in winter (5). They are very similar in appearance to the common tern (Sterna hirundo), so much so that birdwatchers call unidentified terns 'commic terns', an amalgamation of the two common names (6). Arctic terns are slightly smaller than common terns, and have a shorter bill and longer tail (2). The rump is white, the underparts are darker and the wing lacks the dark wedge on the outer edge, which is a key identifying feature of common terns (6) . During summer, the bill becomes bright red and lacks the black tip seen in common terns (2). Long tail streamers also develop in summer (2). A 'kee-arr' alarm call and a piping 'pi-pi-pi-pi-pi' call are produced (2) (6).
Arctic terns breed around the Arctic and temperate northern parts of the northern Hemisphere. They travel massive distances to overwinter in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica (4). The population that breeds in Britain and Ireland is at the southern-most limit of its breeding range. This range extends through Greenland and Iceland, along the Baltic and Scandinavian coasts reaching into Siberia. Most of the British breeding population occurs in Scotland, Orkney, Shetland and the Hebrides. Populations also occur in England in the northwest and northeast and there are small numbers in Norfolk and around the southern coast; they also breed in Anglesey in Wales (4).
In Britain, the Arctic tern breeds around the coast (4) in open sand or shingle habitats or in moorland and coastal heathland (3). As they are vulnerable to predation, they often breed on offshore islands areas where there are no mammal predators such as rats and mink (3). In winter this species stays out at sea, resting on floating objects and ice (3).
The Arctic tern tends to arrive back in its breeding habitats after the long migration from May to June (3). Males court females with a 'fish flight', an impressive aerial display which culminates in the male presenting the female with a 'gift' in the form of a fish (6). Nesting tends to occur in a hollow on the ground at a good distance from the shore in short vegetation (4) (6). Pairs, which mate for life, produce between one and three eggs, which are incubated for up to 24 days (3) (6). After a further 24 days or so, the chicks will have fully fledged. The males defend the nests if they are threatened, by diving at potential predators and livestock (6).
Arctic terns are very long-lived species, with a maximum recorded life-span of 29 years (3). This species feeds mainly on fish, particularly sand eels (3) (4), which they catch by making short dives into the water (6). Feeding tends to occur within three kilometres of the breeding colony, although they have been recorded to travel ten kilometres away in order to feed (4). When the breeding season is over, these birds head off once more on their long journey south (3).
The Arctic tern is listed on the Birds of Conservation Concern Amber List; its population has experienced periodic declines since the 1980s and low breeding success throughout the 1990s (4). Declines have also occurred elsewhere in Europe. The main threats facing this species include nest predation by hedgehogs, introduced American mink (Mustela vison) and rats, as well as coastal development, disturbance by recreational activities, and a lack of the most important food source, sandeels, possibly caused by over-fishing by humans (4).
38 percent of the British breeding population of Arctic terns occurs within Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and so the species receives a level of protection at these sites (4).

An update on the recent pet food recall. Officials are now saying the death toll is in the hundreds.
At least 471 cases of pet kidney failure have been reported in the 10 days since the Menu Foods recall. About a fifth of those pets have died from their illnesses.
However, Menu Foods is only confirming that 16 pets have died from eating the food found to be tainted with rat poisoning.

Kingston Youth Soccer: Good Sportsmanship
The central mission of KYSA is for every child to have an equal opportunity to play and enjoy soccer. After a game, every child should feel good about his/her experience and be looking forward to the next practice or game.
In the U5, U6, U8 and U10 divisions, KYSA soccer is strictly developmental and non-results oriented. This means that the focus should be on developing the individual and team skills of every player. Players and teams can be encouraged to play their hardest, but the outcome of the games doesn't matter. We don't keep track of the score, and we don't tally wins and losses.
In the U12 division and up, play is more competitive and scores are reported. However, player development and good sportsmanship are still our top priorities. We expect all players, coaches and spectators to keep their comments positive.
All referees, including the young referees in training who work the U8 and U10 games, should be accorded maximum respect. Referees should not encounter any interference or criticism from coaches, parents, or players in their oversight of a game. Coastal League's policy simply states: "No one is to address the referee during the game." In addition, KYSA will not tolerate any inappropriate conduct, nor violations of the spirit of its mission.
We appreciate your cooperation. Let's have a great season and keep working together to make learning soccer fun for our children!

- Validity constraint: One ID per Element Type
- No element type may have more than one ID attribute specified.
- Validity constraint: ID Attribute Default
- An ID attribute must have a declared default of #IMPLIED or #REQUIRED.
- Validity constraint: IDREF
- Values of type IDREF must match the Name production, and values of type IDREFS must match Names; each Name must match the value of an ID attribute on some element in the XML document; i.e. IDREF values must match the value of some ID attribute.
- ID recognized by XML tools as an identifier type
- IDRef recognized by XML tools as a reference to an identified element
- ID uniqueness constraint (document scope only)
- IDRef must match some identified element in the document
- ID and IDRef cannot contain colons, whitespaces, or start with numbers
- URIs and qualified names are not valid IDs because both contain colons.
- Requiring unique IDs may cause problems with bundles

NAIDC History
North American Dairy Challenge was established in 2002 as
a management contest to incorporate all phases of a specific
dairy business. The first contest was held in April of 2002
at Michigan State University, East Lansing. The contest had
14 participating schools.
In 2003, the first
regional contest was added in the Northeastern US. Since then,
3 other regional contests have been added: Midwest, Western
and Southern. The events are structured very much like the
national contest. However, the emphasis is more on education
than competition. As such, schools are invited to bring more
than just a 4-member team, allowing them to expose Dairy Challenge
to more of their students. Students are placed on aggregate
or mixed teams with students from other universities with
varying skills and backgrounds.
Dairy Challenge strives to incorporate a higher-learning atmosphere
with practical application to help prepare students for careers
in the dairy industry. More than 1,000 students have enhanced
their dairy management, communication and business skills
through Dairy Challenge, in turn generating highly qualified
graduates to lead and further improve the dairy industry.
Challenge relies on financial support of industry for the
success of the contest. We are establishing a fund to provide
a financial base to ensure stability of the contest. Our goal
is to raise $2 million for Dairy Challenge in 5 years.
Dairy Challenge also
plans to continue to grow the contest, both regionally and
nationally, to make it more available to a larger number of
students. Exposing the contest to more students each year
benefits the dairy industry as a whole, as it generates prospective
employees who are more experienced and knowledgeable.

What's lurking in your fridge?
Does evil lurk behind the door of your refrigerator? The last time you cleaned out your fridge, did you find a science experiment growing on last week's leftovers?
According to the experts, the home kitchen is a Petri dish for food-borne illness. In fact, what we often mistake for an upset stomach or the flu is often a mild form of food poisoning.
According to the February 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, "food-borne diseases are estimated to cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year."
These bacteria, viruses, and parasites pose health risks for all of us, but especially for pregnant and lactating women, young children, the elderly, and anyone with an immune-deficiency disease.
The good news is that up to 25% of the outbreaks can be prevented with safer practices in the home.
So how do you make sure the food in your refrigerator is safe? Let's start with the basics:
- Clean out the fridge every week or two, using a mild solution of bleach and water.
- Post thermometers to ensure that the temperature stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the refrigerator and 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the freezer.
- Wipe up any spills in your refrigerator immediately, to prevent cross-contamination.
- Use all food by its expiration or "use-by" date.
- Food that is labeled with a "sell-by" date should be used within five days of that date.
It's also important to examine food for any signs of deterioration before you prepare it. When food starts to deteriorate, it often looks and/or smells bad.
But unfortunately, some foods can appear perfectly good even when they are full of dangerous organisms. So when in doubt, throw it out!
Live by this motto, read the dates stamped on containers, and use all your senses -- including common sense -- to determine if food is safe to eat.
Smart Shopping
Safety starts at the grocery store. Begin shopping in the center of the market, proceed to the periphery, and select frozen food last. Don't buy dented or leaking cans or jars, or fresh food that looks or smells old. Make sure eggs are free of any cracks. Check the dates on all foods, including cans and jars.
Once you're home, immediately store perishables and frozen foods. Keep your refrigerator and freezer filled, but with a little room to spare to allow for air circulation. Overstuffed refrigerators and freezers can dip below safe temperatures, thus promoting bacterial growth.

With no Reds game last night and a little extra time on my hands I got my first chance to look at the rosters of the Reds farm teams. I find the year to year ebb and flow of prospect relevance interesting across the different levels as guys graduate and move up. For example in 2011 Louisville was must watch with Alonso, Frazier, Cozart, Mesoraco, etc. This year Louisville is comprised of mostly 30 year old 4A players with almost no prospect relevance.
My question is, as they are constructed right now, which teams do you find to be the most interesting, not the best.
1. Bakersfield
2. Pensacola
3. Dayton
4. Louisville
Bakersfield for me is the most interesting because I think they have the most guys that could surprise to the upside. Is Ben Lively as good as his numbers indicate or does he start getting smacked around? Does Jesse Winker's continue as a middle of the order thumper. Does Seth Mejas-Breen develop power to go along with his solid game. Do multi tool guys like Junior Arias and Kyle Waldrop start to translate tools into skills.
Pensacola is about the arms Stephenson, Lorenzen, Corcino, Contreras. The bats on the other hand do not do much for me. Yorman Rodriguez it seems like every year is going to be his breakout year, but it never happens. Juan Duran I have written off.
Dayton for me is Phil Ervin and high draft picks that have been a disappointment to me (Travieso, Gelalich, Rahier). Garrett and Guillon could surprise as well.
Louisville is pretty much barren. Tucker Barnhart is somewhat interesting. Other than that not much to see.

Dancing With The Stars
Cody Simpson's Bare Butt Photo Deleted From Social Media — But Not By Him (VIDEO)
Cody Simpson will return to Dancing With the Stars Season 18 tonight to sing his new single "Surfboard" on the Finale. He'll also reunite with his pro partner Witney Carson and join in the general end-of-season festivities. What he won't do, is flash his butt again.
Not that Cody, 17, has a problem with flashing his butt, but social media took issue with it.
On Sunday, May 18, Cody posted a photo of his bare tush on Instagram — it's actually his full bare backside as seen from a balcony, with his bare frontside facing the ocean. So anyone who happened to be looking up at the balcony as this shot was taken got a good look at his surfboard. E! News has a copy of the pic, in case you want to see it.
The nude pic was apparently taken by his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, and he labeled it, "Free. throwback to Sunday morning on the coast after a big one. surfed out too. how bout that tan. taken by bae."
According to E!, the pic was deleted from Cody's Instagram and Facebook accounts, but it wasn't one of those "oops did I really just post a nude photo?!" moments of regret. It was taken down by Instagram due to their Terms of Use policy where you can't post nude content. Facebook also disapproves anything deemed "pornographic." As Cody lamented via Twitter on Monday, "looks like Instagram didn't like my ass."
Oh well. Millions of fans do. After DWTS, Cody is kicking off a summer tour of Europe, and maybe he'll find time to moon the ticket-buyers. They probably won't complain!

May 6, 2016
Area leaders say Friday's Mardi Gras Downtown Getdown was only moderately successful--attracting about 1,000 people. Organizers of the event also say they over-estimated beer sales at $5,000 dollars, but only profited about $1,000.
The Community Redevelopment Agency says its agreed to more Downtown Getdowns in Winter and Spring due to its success in the fall--but the agency is weary about the expense of off-season Getdowns.
At Monday afternoon's agency meeting, organizers discussed the importance of at least covering all the costs of putting on the events. Leon County Commissioner Bryan Desloge says the expenses change and available funds change, which creates a challenge. "There's a charge associated with that, which changes a lot of the models, so suddenly having to pay for some of those things creates a little bit of heartburn from a financial standpoint." said Desloge.
There is another Downtown Getdown slated for Springtime Tallahassee. As for the re-development agency, it will re-visit the issue later in the year.

hope he does well and eventually becomes a starter.
thought things were looking good for Rosen till he wound up with Texans
