This study aimed to ascertain whether self-control predicts heart rate, heart rate variability, and the cortisol slope, and to determine whether health behaviors and affect patterns mediate these relationships. A sample of 198 adults completed the Self-Control Scale (Tangney in J Pers 72:271–322, 2004), and reported their exercise levels, and cigarette and alcohol use. Participants provided a complete account of their emotional experiences over a full day, along with morning and evening salivary cortisol samples and a continuous measure of cardiovascular activity on the same day. High trait self-control predicted low resting heart rate, high heart rate variability, and a steep cortisol slope. Those with high self-control displayed stable emotional patterns which explained the link between self-control and the cortisol slope. The self-controlled smoked less and this explained their low heart rates. The capacity to sustain stable patterns of affect across diverse contexts may be an important pathway through which self-control relates to psychophysiological functioning and potentially health.

Expanded Stem is often used in American blend cigarettes because of its economic and technical benefits.
Expanded Stem reduces the cigarette weight, while preserving the natural tobacco taste. It increases the filling value and burn rate, which reduce the number of puffs, which in turn reduce the tar and nicotine deliveries per cigarette.
The Expanded Stem is usually included in the blend at 5 to 10 percent at full-flavor cigarettes, and 10 to 15 percent or more in light or ultra-light cigarettes.
Expanded Stem (ES) is considered as one of the main tools for reducing harm of tobacco products. Expanded Stem are rolled, flattened, and shredded tobacco leaf stems that are expanded by being soaked in water and rapidly heated. Then it is dried.
The Expanded stem can be also used as a means for reducing standard ISO tar and nicotine yields
The rate of Expanded Stems with absolutely neutral taste in cigarettes may increase up to 30% without creating a negative after taste or change in blend characteristics. It can be also used as a means for reducing standard ISO tar and nicotine yields. Expanded Stem, in particular, imparts firmness to tobacco rods.

Political Activity of Muslims
in America
Steve A. Johnson
Islam has become an American religion. Recent estimates of the number of Muslims in America range from 2 million to 8 million, with the most reliable 1986 estimate being approximately 4.7 million. 1 The first major wave of Muslims emigrating from the Middle East to the United States began between 1875 and World War I. This was followed by second and third waves of immigration between the 1920s and World War II, and 1947 and the mid‐ 1960s, respectively. 2 A recent study reports that "relative to the total number of all immigrants entering the U.S., the number of Muslim immigrants has nearly doubled over the last two decades...." 3 However, despite the growing number of Muslim immigrants attaining U.S. citizenship, and the fact that nearly 30 percent of all Muslims in the United States are indigenous American citizens, as a group Muslims remain essentially a political nonentity.
This study is an initial investigation, albeit sketchy, into the political activity of Muslims in America. It describes two independent spheres of political activity, the political activity between Muslim groups in America and the current political activity of Muslims vis-à-vis the larger non-Muslim American society.
On December 6, 1986, the Planning Committee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) held a public hearing in Plainfield, Indiana, in an attempt to identify what a broad cross-section of Muslims in America viewed as strategic priorities for Muslims in the next decade. The report submitted by that committee noted six priorities, including community development, which was further subdivided into political, legal, and social action. The section of the report on political action is brief but important:
In order to exert influence on the political decision-making [sic] and legislation in North America, ISNA should launch a campaign to educate Muslim citizens about their voting rights and mobilize them to vote on issues affecting Islam and Muslims. On a longer term basis, ISNA should develop communication with and among politically active Muslims and establish a separate political organization in due course. 4

I would love to add all of the Gen IV if I could, although Emerald only has a limited amount of free spaces for Pokémon which would eventually result in over writing currently existing Pokémon. If I do figure out a way to work around this then my next update would probably include the Sinnoh Pokémon.
I believe that there are 25 free Pokedex spaces between Celebi and Treecko but I don't know what would happen if those placeholders are altered. Btw Love your hack :D

Sussex Habitat seeks homeowner applicantsWest Rehoboth Community Land Trust and Habitat partner for project
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity is seeking applicants for two special upcoming home building projects, one in the West Rehoboth community and another Veterans Build home in Georgetown. Habitat and the West Rehoboth Community Land Trust have partnered to establish a shared project to create a permanently affordable homeownership opportunity for a qualified low-income household to purchase a home on Norwood Street in West Rehoboth. Habitat is strongly recruiting in the West Rehoboth community for a qualified applicant.
At the same time, Habitat announces the beginning of a second Veterans Build Project and home in Georgetown Point. Habitat dedicated its first Veterans Build home Sept. 11 as the culmination of a yearlong series of fundraising events, volunteer build days and cultivating donors to support the Veterans Build project. Mari Ellyn Hellard, a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran, and her two sons are the proud new homeowners.
"Now it is time for us to once again build upon our great experiences last year and provide another simple, decent and affordable home to one of our local veterans," said Tom Protack, community engagement director for Sussex Habitat. The first step for Habitat to begin the next Veterans Build is to seek qualified applicants and rally the community for support.
All applicants must meet the following criteria: be able to pay a not-for-profit mortgage and demonstrate a need for affordable housing and a willingness to partner with Habitat, which includes 250 volunteer hours, sweat equity, from each adult in the household. To learn more about the application process for these two upcoming projects or any other projects, contact the Family Services Department at 302-855-1153, Ext. 204, email email@example.com or go to www.sussexcountyhabitat.org.

Creating a safe and sound environment in the bedroom helps to create more restful sleep as well as a more comfortable experience when reading or relaxing in bed. When it comes to safety and preventing falls, a bed rail warrants consideration. Bed rails can serve two purposes: keeping you from falling out of bed while asleep and acting as a mobility device to assist you in getting in and out of bed safely and easily by offering support. A bed rail is among the easiest safety devices to install; some styles are made for travel so that you can take your bed rail with you on overnight trips.
A mattress pad, including designs like a memory foam topper and convoluted mattress pad, adds a layer of cushioning that helps you sleep more comfortably. A memory foam pad is designed to mold to your body. "Egg crate" textured foam mattress covers and air-filled mattress pads are designed to ease pressure on the skin and distribute body weight more evenly. This is especially important for people who must spend a lot of time in bed because this cushioning helps reduce friction on pressure points, encouraging better circulation and preventing skin ulcers from forming.
Better comfort is also the goal of foam bed wedges and other specialty pillows. Body positioners—longer and firmer than a regular bed pillow—enable you to better align your body, especially helpful for people who sleep on their side. Bed wedges are meant to support you when sitting up in bed to read, for instance, while other shapes are made to elevate your upper body while asleep for better breathing. Besides cervical rolls to cushion your neck, there are also wedges meant for under or between the knees to better position your back.
Some bedding products are designed to protect the mattress itself. A waterproof mattress cover that fully envelops the mattress and zips closed is a great barrier against dust mites and other allergens as well as fluids; a mattress cover is your first line of protection when managing incontinence to prevent the mattress from becoming soiled. Sizes are available to fit virtually every bed, from twin to hospital to bariatric. Waterproof sheets can be used on top of the mattress cover to double the protection.
One of the most popular bedroom specialty items is an overbed table, just like the ones used in a hospital setting, but designed to better fit in with home décor. More than just keeping essentials within reach, some overbed tables tilt to provide the right angle for reading a book or newspaper.
We spend a large part of our lives in bed, and there are products designed to maximize that time, giving us more of the restorative sleep we need.

All Washington state school districts should assess all children for their readiness to learn, although a majority do now. Though state budget dollars are tight now, such screening should be part of basic education, and should be built into planning.
A recent survey of Washington elementary-school principals, preschool teachers and parents found vast support for preschool screening to determine if children are ready for kindergarten.
The question of whether to assess children at the outset of kindergarten is practically a no-brainer. There are few other ways for teachers to learn how to meet individual student needs. The majority of districts already screen children before they start kindergarten or soon afterward. But the effort is less effective because it is voluntary and not all districts do it, or can afford to.
A statewide policy on readiness testing would ensure proper assessment of students in all districts. This solution is backed by the state Department of Early Learning and is part of the agency's report to the governor and the state Legislature on early-learning needs.
The department's take on early assessments is credible, coming via a survey of schools statewide. Nearly half the schools that offer kindergarten in the state participated in the survey. A favorable sign is that the majority reported already testing kids going into kindergarten for language, literacy and communication skills.

About three-quarters do assessments on cognition and general knowledge. A smaller number look at physical well-being, health and motor development and a few assess social development and enthusiasm for learning.
It would make sense for all schools to assess children for developmental delays, allowing for earlier intervention. But only three-quarters of the schools in the study do so. Changing this ought to be a priority. Teachers teach best when they understand the needs of their students.
Enthusiasm for early screening is tempered by understandable concern over how the test would be paid for. The process, including tests, ought to be seen as a part of basic education and funded accordingly.
Budget shortfalls preclude statewide assessments for now. Gov. Christine Gregoire has proposed cutting education funding, including pulling $8.5 million from early-learning programs. But educators and lawmakers could, and should, start planning for universal school readiness screening down the road.

I was overall happy with my stay--the only concern I had was that I did not have a lock for securely storing my belongings, and apparently the hostel does not sell/rent/otherwise provide locks for the under-the-bed storage bins (even though it says on the website that you can purchase a lock for 20 PLN). So bring your own lock if you would like to lock up your belongings. "

- " This is a crazy and unhealthy place to stay when it's more than 30 degrees outside. There is no possibility to cool down, the rooms on top are incredibly hot. Besides the fan in the room, the staff doesn't do any effort to make it better. Please don't ask money for a room to sleep in when it is not possible to sleep. This ruined my holiday. Tip: Let the management and staff sleep one night at the top floor, things will change soon. "

Logrotate usually runs as a daily cron job in /etc/cron.daily. It can also be configured to run at set times, or when logs reach a specified size. Log rotation frequency depends on the volume of processed mail and reporting requirements (archived data from log files is no longer included in PureMessage's pre-defined reports).
Log rotation parameters are determined by the configuration of the /opt/pmx6/etc/logrotate.conf configuration file, and the parameters configured for individual PureMessage log files. Parameters for individual log files are stored by default in the /opt/pmx6/etc/logrotate.d directory, and include a configuration file for both the system log (pmx_log) and the message log (message_log), among others. The log configuration files (pmx_log, etc) are imported into the (logrotate.conf) configuration via the 'include /opt/pmx6/etc/logrotate.d' statement in the logrotate.conf file.
The logrotate.d directory contains configuration files for the following logs:
You can specify frequency and backlog settings globally in the logrotate.conf file, or individually for each log file in the sample pmx_log and message_log configuration files. The logrotate documentation for your operating system will include information about parameters.
The logrotate utility can be run as a scheduled job owned by the PureMessage user (by default, "pmx"). In the PureMessage Manager, create a new scheduled job. Enter /path/to/logrotate for the command. Add a description, and use the scroll boxes to configure how often the logs will be rotated.
Alternatively, from the command line, create a file named pmx-logrotate.conf in /opt/pmx6/etc/scheduler.d, and add an <event logrotate> section. For example: <event logrotate> desc = "Rotate PureMessage Logs" enabled = 1 type = exec action = '/usr/local/sbin/logrotate /opt/pmx6/etc/logrotate.conf' <when> s = 0 m = 0 h = 3 </when> </event>
<event logrotate> desc = "Rotate PureMessage Logs" enabled = 1
type = exec action = '/usr/local/sbin/logrotate /opt/pmx6/etc/logrotate.conf' <when> s = 0 m = 0 h = 3 </when> </event>
On some platforms, the default location of the state file for the system will be in a directory for which the PureMessage user has no rights. If so, specify an alternate state file, by inserting the following string in the logrotate command (before the specification of the .conf file):
-s /opt/pmx6/var/log/logrotate.state

Catalysis is a strategic field of science because it involves new ways of meeting energy and sustainability challenges. These challenges are main concerns in the context of a global vision on societal challenges and world economy, rendering green chemistry a "leitmotiv" in any project. The concept of green chemistry, which makes science of catalysis even more creative, has become an integral part of sustainability. Chemists and engineers working in these disciplines are creating scientific and technological breakthroughs that will be crucial to the future success of human society. This is only made possible by innovative discoveries from research groups all over the world. Scientists are working very hard to discover a variety of nanocatalysts to develop green and sustainable protocols, and this Special Issue on "Green Chemistry by Nanocatalysis", with guest editors Vivek Polshettiwar and Jean-Marie Basset (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) and Didier Astruc (Univ.

Nanotubes say goodbye to H2S: Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) are synthesized by using a chemical vapor deposition method under a mixture of C2H6/NH3/Ar with Fe/Al2O3 as a growth catalyst. N-CNTs can be used as a metal-free catalyst for the selective oxidation of H2S into elemental sulfur. The desulfurization activity can be further improved by supporting the N-CNT on a macroscopic host structure such as SiC foam.

Has anyone had slow embryo growth and been told they are going to miscarry even though the gestational sac is still growing?
I went in for ultasound at 6 weeks and was measuring 5 weeks 2 days with gestational sac and yolk sac and Dr had me come a week later in which I was measuring 6 weeks 4 days but embryo was barely visable with no heartbeat. I was told the baby is not growing fast enough and their should be a heartbeat. His best guess is a misscarriage but we are to come back in a week. Has anyone had this happen?. I am now experiencing migraines and thinking maybe I will miscarry. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I also miscarried with the first. Is it possible the embryo is just behind? I am really confused. I would not think a doctor would say that unless it was very likely going to happen.

I am going through a similar situation. I just had my 3rd u/s in just a few weeks. Baby is measuring at 5-6 weeks. It has not gotten any bigger from last week. I'm so confused. I need to go back in and have my HCG levels checked again. They were at 35,000 just two weeks ago. I still feel completely pregnant, but have slight spotting and a little cramping. I feel like I might miscarry, so I am trying to keep my mind wrapped around the idea. Has anyone gone through this before, and not miscarried...? I haven't heard back from my doctor yet on what our next move is. I just need to find out one way or another.posted 09/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My first pregnancy, I miscarried because the baby had reabsorbed in the sac due to abnormalities. My second pregnancy as of now, I had went to my ultrasound September 25th, 2012 and I was 12 weeks, 2 days and saw my baby. The doctors said that he was too small to determine any genetic issues. They measured him at 7 weeks and determined that my baby stopped growing and there was no heart beat. They claim it is a miscarriage. But I'm still carrying the baby around in my stomach. So even if you still have the baby in your womb, the sac is going to continue to grow, the baby won't.posted 09/28/2012 by amandammoore1992
I had an ultra sound last week (11-12 weeks was my guess) but all they saw was what looked like a 6 week baby. So either it stopped growing or my dates are off by a month. I have to wait until next Friday for another ultra sound to find out. My question for those of you who have gone through this, did the sac look like it was deteriorating at all? My Dr said his gut tells him it is all fine as my dates could still work for conception and the sac looks good. I am so worried and confused. Good luck to you all. I have lost babies in the past... It is a pain like no other. I hope you all have great support to help you through this!posted 09/23/2012 by WillowSM
Hi i'm going throught this situation now. after having a miscarriage in september 2010 i fell pregnant again in december 2010 :). When i was nearly 7 weeks lmp i started spotting so went for a vaginal scan and there was a sac and a yolk sac measuring about 5 weeks and there was no blood in the sac or around the baby all looked good i was so relieved. I went for another ultrasound 2 weeks after on 5th jan 2011 and was told my baby had not grown as much as it should have and has a very weak heartbeat i am gutted. Apparently it has grown to 2 mm and she told me that the heartbeat will probably stop this week and i will miscarry :( My scan is in 2 days time now and i am so scared to hear the news that the heart has stopped. i just hope their dates were off slightly but deep down i know the outcome. :-( xx Hope everyones outcome was a happy one xxposted 01/10/2011 by louise41
Hi. Can anyone help. Ive just found out im pregnant. Went 4 a u/s due to bleeding but was fine at 5wk. 2nd scan a wk l8r showed twins then 3rd scan 10dys l8r tech said b4 u/s that twins can be slow growing. Then during u/s ssid shr couldnt c clearly enough so 2nd tech had look and said the same. Wad told i maybe having a m/c but i had m/c previously this id differnt as no pain anx bleeding has practically stop. I decided to go home but feel like im on tender hooks. Whst do i do? Do i wait or get intervension?posted 07/04/2012 by rugratr_racheal

Hi I had an ultrasoubd two weeks ago and only had gestational sac which apparently measured 5weeks4 days had a second ultrasound yesterday and sac still measures 5 weeks 4 days but there is also now a yolk sac. They wont say what this means until I see my doctor. Has anyone had a similar experience and how did it turn outposted 06/22/2012 by niomemeaton
I just had the exact same thing happen to me. I went in for ultrasound at six weeks the sac only measured 5 i began having these terrible headaches and yesterday june 3 2012 I miscarried. They didnt d o a D AND C which I am going to demand my doctor to do to be sure that there is nothing left inside of me because I am cramping so bad and still passing on huge blood clots. I had 3 ultrasounds done and there was only the sac seen my ultrasound was 1 week 2 weeks and three weeks apart from each other.posted 06/04/2012 by Jones89

Secrets of Success
Today was a good day!
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
Today was day 14 of S90 and LEGS. I got up and did the workout prior to breakfast and found that I struggled a bit with a noted lack of energy. LEGS continues to be a challenge for me. I do see my legs getting more defined and toned but I am not noticing a huge increase in strength. I still have a hard time doing lunges with the 6 lb weights, which is frustrating considering the 12 lb weights feel too light for sumo squats and dead lifts. Those darn lunges get me every time. However I WILL conquer them someday. I just don't know when, LOL! After I had some breakfast and some quality kindle time I woke up Gunn and we went to a small lake in our area, one we didn't even know about until yesterday, and spent over an hour hiking the hilly trails along and around the lake. Our dog had a blast and wanted so badly to chase the ducks! We saw a beautiful crane that took wing just as we came within 10 feet of him and he was so graceful. It was very peaceful and we only encountered one other person our whole time there. We stopped at a picnic bench by the boat launch and had some fruit and string cheese. The dog splashed around in the water some more and then we headed back home, happy to have found a new place to play and hike and give our dog a fun outing and a good workout. Boy do my legs feel it! Today was definitely all about working those legs.
All in all it has been a pleasant day. We are having an awesome indian summer here in Seattle and Gunn wore shorts today. That is unprecedented, wearing shorts in the 3rd week of September! I was in jeans but only needed a t-shirt, my fleece jacket eventually wrapped around my waist. Now to heat up some good leftover peachy pork chops and make a salad and we will plant our butts down for the evening. I hope my sparkfriends had a good day also and that you enjoy your evening wherever you are and whatever the weather!
Day 14 down, 86 to go!

Your day sounds
. So jealous of your quiet time.
I do Sumos with 15 and can do lunges with 8s but it is tough - I have laid off legs for now.
Have a great rest of the week.

What a great day!! That spot sounds wonderful!! Ouch to those legs--that's a lot of work for them! Our weather is cooler and it feels wonderful! We have had such a miserably hot/humid summer that this cooler, dry air makes me feel energized. Been doing my walking and some ST but the scale hasn't budged. However, I can tell my body is changing and looking leaner. I have more energy which is a real plus. I need to stay off that @#$% scale!!

Microsoft said Thursday that Windows 7 will be cheaper than Vista, the last version of its trademark operating system.
Echoing a companywide theme of affordability, Microsoft said Thursday that Windows 7 will be cheaper than the last version of its trademark operating system.
Retail prices for Windows 7 when it rolls out Oct. 22 will range from $119.99 to $319.99. The price points are 10 percent lower than Windows Vista, the version of Windows that 7 will replace.
From today through July 11, Microsoft is running a half-off special, with Windows XP and Vista users able to pre-order the new operating system for as little as $49.99.
"For first time we will have some aggressive offers that customers can take advantage of," said Tami Reller, chief financial officer of the Windows group in a conference call Thursday.

Anyone buying a new computer that comes installed with Windows Vista starting today will qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 7. "There's sort of this continuing trend with Windows 7 of removing any potential barriers to getting people to upgrade," said Michael Cherry, an analyst at independent firm Directions on Microsoft in Kirkland. "The pricing just seems to follow that pattern."
As the economy remains stalled, Microsoft has capitalized on the penny-pinching zeitgeist with several campaigns. Earlier this year, the company released a barrage of television commercials featuring shoppers hunting for a laptop that cost less than $1,000, chiding Apple computers of being expensive.
In addition, a recent online-video ad campaign for Microsoft's portable music player Zune says it would cost $30,000 to fill a rival Apple iPod with music.
Even Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has been pitching Microsoft's technology internationally as an investment to help companies squeeze more juice out of limited resources.
The Windows 7 pricing released Thursday applies only to boxed copies. Most copies of Windows are sold installed on new computers, and the computer makers pay Microsoft per copy. Microsoft does not disclose how much it charges computer makers.
The company also plans sell a simpler, less expensive version of operating system called Windows 7 Starter to computer makers that build netbooks, small laptops that cost about $300. Another less-expensive version of the operating system, Windows 7 Home Basic, will be sold only in developing markets.
Executives have been calling Windows 7 everything Vista was supposed to be. Vista, which began selling in 2007, had numerous technical problems when it first hit the market and quickly became the target of derision in Apple's "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" television ads.
Early reviews say Windows 7 is smoother-running and easier to use. Several features are aimed at making it easier to manage having several windows and applications open at once, including pop-up preview screens. The operating system allows a user to clear everything off the screen by jiggling a mouse.
Windows 7 reduces the number of steps needed to share music, photos and other files across a home network. It also includes more touch-screen features.

Apologies, for the long read.
As some know in here, I did the Capital to Capital, Cap2Cap, Century ride on Saturday, May 11. I started in Williamsburg, VA(Chickahominy Riverfront Park to be exact), rode to Richmond, VA and then back to Chickahominy Park.
I came in First!!!! First at arriving at the start venue--not to finish, LOL. First cyclist to arrieve at just before dawn(~0550), LOL.
After unloading and checking the bike, I puttered around the park riding in an easy gear off and on for around 40 minutes. One fear I had was the forecast of scattered thunderstorms during the day and as we were lining up, I swear I heard a low rumble of thunder way off in the distance. I noticed a few drops coming down as we lined up for the start.
When we began, on the side of the road leading the Park exit, there were two cyclists--one helping the other change a flat--neither even out on the road yet. (0730 with temps around 69ºF and humid--temps were in the 80s at the end)We climb up the bridge that goes over the Chickahominy River(a climb for me) and we are off. The rain begins to fall a little bit and we go riding. The roads are wet as we get a few miles past start and I suspect those areas had rain earlier that had not fallen on us since there was little to none falling on us now. We we get on some nicely paved roads. I increase my alertness since the smooth roads are quite wet. Around 7 or 8 miles in, and going downhill, I(we) notice a pack of cyclists stopped and several bikes down--it appears a pack had a crash but, hearing a report from a SAG driver, there not any great injuries--only the most injured cyclist that was taken by ambulance--had no broken bones. I pass by the first Feed Zone stop as it is only 10 miles out. I stop at all other Feed Zones. The Sun comes out around 0900 I believe. I get to Richmond at around 1020 (after stopping at two Feed Zones before) feeling really good. Unfortunately, I spend too much time in Richmond after re-greasing, food, milling about, and re-applying Sunblock--I don't get back on the road until around 1115 or so. Between the long stop, the now headwind, and some more climbs(Hey! Aren't we supposed to be going downhill back to Williamsburg), I was feeling the toll. A humorous note about a rather long steep climb shortly after Richmond, there are some Cap2Cap signs reading, "Worst Parade Ever," and "Shut up legs!"
At around the 70 mile mark, my feet are bugging me...probably "hot spots." I'm wondering if go to clipless, since the shoes have a more firm, if not solid sole(thus not the compression and the pressure on the foot more spread out), I might not have as much of an issue. In addition, I think the toe clips are creating pressure on my toe which has led to an issue I've been having(I don't have the clips tight--they're kept loose). Right now I use toe clips and ride with running shoes which have a much softer sole.
I spend more time at each of the last Feed Zone stops, mile 74 and 86, and stop at the side of the road several times to get relief for my feet(some for my hand too). One stop I make is because I see two cyclists on the side of the road changing a tire. Good I stopped as the guy helping the young lady broke his second tire lever and asked if I had any. I hand him two tire levers and after the tire starts to come off, he realizes that her tire is toast(blown). He hands me back my levers. A SAG vehicle begins to approach and we flag him down. It kind of sucks as she is only 10 miles from the finish.
After a while, with a few stops I take, the guy catches up to me and I give him the thumbs up and say that I'm fine and just trying to get my feet back. He stops anyway and lets me know there is only 3.2 miles left--nice guy. I finally get to the Bridge--one last climb to the end--and descend to the park. It is now 1530. 30 minutes before Food Service stops and an hour before all SAG support ends.
I have no idea of my traveling time since I forgot to reset the computer when we lined up at the start. I would guess there were about 4 miles on it and around 40 minutes or more extra time. Don't recall what the travel time on the computer was now. As for Feed Zones and stopping for my feet, I guess I that would be around 90 minutes, maybe a bit more. I think my time was close to my riding time for the TdC:Hampton Roads. This is good news for me as there is more climbing, hills and all, than the TdC Century.
Now, some, maybe many, would call this a flat ride and to those like JimF from Northern Va, it would seem so. There are some rolling hills and a few steep(to me) short climbs as well as a fair amount of low grade long inclines. I did not have to walk up any and a couple or few I was in a really low gear and small crank cog only going 6 to 8 mph. Many areas are well shaded and many areas that are quite exposed. I'm a tad pink but if I hadn't been wearing sunblock, and re-applying sunblock, I'd be a lobster.
I will have to decide if I will do this again as there are some dangerous areas, Route 5 in particular. There is a long section of completed trail along 5 leading to Charles City courthouse and will ride on that for that section if I do this again. Some traffic came really close and one driver(a real jerk) passed me and slowed down in front of me trying to slow me down--fortunately, he did not do that to the rider 2 or 3 hundred feet in front of me. There were definitely scary areas. Most of the ride was little traveled. Another disincentive would be what happened to some cyclists out of Richmond. They were hit by a tractor trailer during this year's ride--a hit and run.
During the TdC, IMHO, there was a more support, rest stops(one or two more on the TdC), road markings, route marshalls(none on the Cap2Cap) and police. The only police support I saw was for the first 4 miles and at the Richmond Feed Zone. There were fewer road markings and much were just signs that could easily be taken, moved, or blown away. The Cue sheet was better on the Cap2Cap, but that is mainly due to fewer turns and a less complicated route. I never missed a turn or got lost, but I heard from a few cyclists who did and had gone up to 10 miles out of the way.
Anyway, I still had a good time.
Meant to take more photos than I did during the TdC, but the threat of rain, the triple bagging of the wife's camera, and being packed in the handlebar bag, I only took a few at the end. Thinking about getting a good waterproof camera for myself. Here are the few I did take and if I see some uploaded by others, I post those later.
100+ miles later yet still smiling
Shot from above--just call me salty(surprised no deer chased me down as a salt lick)
Post ride meal....mmmmm, BBQ--choice of pork or chicken--I chose pork. The cookies and brownie went home to the wife--I was going to have pie.
Of course, pie, no sugar added blueberry.

DIY Christmas Ornaments
Homemade ornaments make great keepsakes. I'm excited to add these to our collection of ornaments, and maybe you will too!
Supplies: Clothes pegs (found at Michaels, Walmart, etc), paint (red, white, black, orange, yellow), felt (red, white, black – very cheap at Michaels), one cotton ball, twine, string, hot glue gun, toothpicks
Paint all but the round part of the clothes peg red, the round part will be Santa's face. Once dry, paint on black shoes and a black belt using a toothpick. Add a yellow belt buckle. Make beard out of felt and glue on. Make hat out of felt (cone shape) and glue on. Use some of the cotton ball to add fluff to Santa's hat and glue. Add black eyes. Don't forget to glue your hanging string on the back.
Paint the entire clothes peg white and let dry completely. Use toothpick to add black buttons, mouth, and eyes. Use another toothpick to add orange carrot nose. Cut long red felt strip to use for frosty's scarf and secure with glue. For frosty's top hat cut out a square from the black felt, that will be the brim of his hat. Next cut out a long rectangle from the black felt and roll it up and secure with glue. Glue the square onto frosty's head and glue the top of the hat onto that. Attach your hanging string on the back.
This one was easier, no painting involved! Take 2 plain clothes pegs and glue together, having one shorter than the other (Mary and Joseph). Cut (break, chop, or file) a clothes peg to make Baby Jesus (that was the toughest part for me). Tie a bow around Jesus' neck using twine. Glue Jesus onto Mary and Joseph. Attach twine as a hanging string in the back.

The clock's ticking. Tomorrow, on June 9, the face of notorious bad boy resort Magaluf in Majorca is set to change irrevocably – but for the better. Cynical, me? Heard it all before? You bet. All the same this time there's been a seismic shift towards creating serious, and some might say, draconian ground rules for the mobs of excitable British teens that descend on the resort year after year.
For one thing the fines imposed for bad behaviour will be eye-wateringly steep. Youths caught urinating or going naked in the street will be slapped with an instant €750 (£550) fine and if they're foolhardy enough to contemplate leaping from one hotel balcony to another or attempting to jump into the communal swimming pool below, they can kiss goodbye to €3000 (£2,200) that they probably won't have. And that of course is one of the small hitches in this clean-up-maga scheme. How will local police officers impose hefty fines when many of the young miscreants will be on all-inclusive holidays for less than 500 smackers? Of course putting them in a cell will be one option but for how long and how will the money be extracted?
It appears that a squad of 36 officers will also used to boost existing police presence in the resort but with thousands of marauding teenagers sweeping the streets like a tsunami wave by night, I'm not sure how effective these brave souls will prove to be. Still, new rules are also being imposed on outlets selling alcohol so that between the hours of midnight and 8am the most exciting drinks available to revellers will be the soft and fizzy variety. Organisers of pub crawls are also being reined in. Two minders in official uniforms must accompany every group of no more than 20 participants, all of whom must be over 18 and wearing identification. Drinking on the streets will be banned between 10pm and 8am, meaning that youths will now have to get tanked up in their rooms before they head out for a late evening of fun and frolics.
This should all be music to the ears of long-suffering locals in the zone but there will also no doubt be a degree of nervousness on the part of business owners as to how Britain's youth will take the news. Will it vote with its feet, kiss goodbye to the resort and head for key party towns in Greece,Turkey and further afield or just take the party indoors? The Balearic tourism councillor, Jaime Martinez, says there is "no way back" for Magaluf now that the resort is upgrading to the benefit of tourists of all ages. Does this mean the end of an era and that at last a new dawn beckons for the troubled resort?

AbstractThe proposed project will create an innovative sensor system to augment an outer ring of defense used for queuing, classifying, and tracking go-fast boats, small and commercial craft, swimmers and divers that are a threat to harbors, anchorages, and other high value assets. The Littoral, Deployable, Modular Sensor (LDMS) system will be part of the Navy's deployable capability in locations where US or host nation security infrastructure is either inadequate or nonexistent. It utilizes a combination of proven sonobuoy sensors and adaptations of current technologies to meet the mission needs. SkySight Technologies' experience and expertise, combined with this unique approach, creates a low cost, lightweight, modular, and reusable system to be easily deployed and recovered by a single person in a small surface craft. The LDMS system can remain on station for 6 months with a weekly battery refresh and is capable of being moored in littoral waters for extended periods because of an innovative, multi component, mooring system. The LDMS system fills a critical gap in Navy sensors, and offers additional governmental and non-governmental applications persistent sensors in littoral waters.

Welcome to Shore Lab Discovery Center
We were founded and incorporated in the State of Florida as a not for profit in October of 2009. Our tax exempt status, 501 (c) (3), was received from the Internal Revenue Service in June of 2010. Our purpose is to build and operate a World Class Aquarium that will help define humankind's role in controlling, interpreting and preserving earth's aquatic wonders. The Shore Lab Discovery Center experience is an exciting opportunity by which millions of people who have limited contact and knowledge of Earth's aquatic wonders will be exposed to the beauty, complexities and perils these ecosystems face in today's world.
What makes us different?
Our story line starts with a simple question: How did water originate on our planet? What does water mean to us today and for the future? How has the presence of water influenced the complex relationships that have developed among its inhabitants? It's about the unique environs found on our planet and what humankind is doing to protect these places for our children and our children's children. It's about the importance science can play in the classroom: reading, mathematics, problem solving and collaborating with others. It is also about unlocking nature's secrets that someday will cure the incurable, ensure the integrity of our water ways, provide new technologies that will feed humankind and new energy sources that do not pollute and will someday propel us out of our galaxy in search of other blue water planets.
We will guide you through the rainforests, explore the great lakes, travel down the major river systems, swim on tropical reefs, explore the ocean depths, travel across the polar landscapes, watch nature footage in 4D, walk through a park full of life and examine the effects water has had on humankinds cultural and commerce over the millennia. The story does not end here on planet earth but continues out into the universe and showcases humankind's advancements in exploring other worlds for signs of water and life.
What motivates us?
The chance to inspire young minds to someday ask the questions that lead to the great discoveries that cure the incurable, find clean new energy sources, discover new technologies that better humankind and find ways to fix and protect our ailing planet.
Our vision:
Inspire generations of explorers committed to discovery and living in harmony on our planet. We shall do this by providing programs that are thought provoking and fun, advocate respect for the natural environment, provide balanced forums on relevant issues and convey the beauty of our world.
Our values:
We believe in creating an atmosphere of equality, fairness and trust by recognizing that strength lies in teamwork. We will provide exceptional service internally and externally by exceeding the expectations of our peers and those that we serve. We are committed to quality and excellence in all that we do and we embrace innovation.
Our creed:
Advocate for education, promote technologies that conserve our planets resources, explore our world in new ways and encourage cultural diversity, personal growth and tolerance.
Who we are:
Shore Lab Discovery Center is a learning lab encouraging participation and growth at one's own pace. We are reexamining our world and inspiring generations of thinkers and explorers in the tradition of: Herodotus, Charles Darwin, Bob Ballard and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. If we have aroused your passion for this worthwhile project please contact us to learn more about how you can become involved. We are seeking visionaries who share our passion for knowledge, education, exploration and preservation.
