Are you one Tough Mudder?
Mud runs have exploded in popularity in the past five years, with people of all ages and fitness levels lining up and paying $65 to $150 (or more) to jump into storage containers full of ice water, climb over 8-foot walls and shimmy through dark plastic tunnels with 6 inches of muddy water.
Some mud runs (particularly the 5K distance ones) are fairly easy and fun. Some -- like the Tough Mudder -- will test every fiber of your being.
Tough Mudder organizers bill their races as "probably the toughest event on the planet." After participating in the Ohio Tough Mudder on May 17, I concur.
I'm no wimp. I've given birth without drugs twice, run five marathons and 10 times as many half-marathons, participated in a triathlon. I still say that the toughest physical feat I've accomplished to date was the Ohio Tough Mudder on May 17. It made 26.2 miles of hills at the Baltimore marathon feel like a cake walk.
The toughest Tough Mudder
I did it because I got caught up in the hype, and I thought it would be warm in May. It sounded like a great idea in January when I signed up with Erie chiropractor Steven Krauza's team. You really get caught up in the team momentum ... and they get you excited about it.
We did some Tough Mudder workouts at the local woods and at playgrounds. We practiced doing monkey bars, pull ups, parallel bars, climbing up and over playground equipment -- all in addition to normal core and strength workouts like running and weight lifting and other general exercise. In the Wintergreen Gorge, we climbed up and down mountains, carried logs through the woods, and submerged ourselves in the freezing cold Four Mile Creek twice.
The conditions in Mansfield, Ohio, were extreme. It downpoured for days before the event. It rained so much that the day before the event, organizers weren't sure if the race was going to happen.
They did manage to pull it off, but the entire course was a quagmire. I don't mean it was sloppy and slippery I mean it was shoe-sucking, soul-crushing, shin-deep mud for 10 miles.
And it was cold -- in the mid-50s, which is a nice temperature for a 10-mile run, but not for one in which you're forced to get wet every 10 minutes.
I've never been so cold in my entire life, and I've run through every Erie winter since 1997. Halfway through the event, our team of 23 was huddling after every obstacle like a waddle of penguins, sharing body heat in one shivering mass, while we waited for the last of our teammates to finish the obstacle.
One of my teammates, Matt Kleck, 30, of Erie, who has done four Tough Mudder races, said Ohio 2014 was the hardest so far. "The mental and physical challenge of being cold, on top of the strength required for the obstacles and the running, really takes a toll on you," he said.
A little help from 29 friends
Our team, "Run Hard, Finish Wet" led by Krauza, owner of Krauza Family Chiropractic in Lawrence Park, included 29 people in various physical conditions and ages, mid-20s to early 50s.
The team aspect is paramount at a Tough Mudder. It would be impossible to do this race without teammates, and that's just what the Tough Mudder founder, Will Dean, intended. It's not a race. It's not a timed event, and Dean says it never will be. The point, Dean frequently says, is to help each other get through the event and finish together, with a bond forged by miles of mud.
"I love that fact that Tough Mudder is all about camaraderie, not competition," said Jenn Kelly, a 40-year-old Harborcreek mother and member of my team in Ohio. "It pushes you physically and mentally to your limits, but when you're done you're saying, 'let's sign up for another one.'"
The obstacles
In the Ohio race, there were 23 obstacles including the Arctic Enema (ice bath), Walk the Plank (12-foot jump off a platform into muddy water), Electroshock Therapy (dangling electric wires that deliver a mild shock), Trench Warfare (crawling through dark trenches in the mud/water) and the Funky Monkey (angled monkey bars over a pool of water).
Some obstacles (partner carry, lugging sandbags through a twisting path in the woods), were easier than others; most required help from teammates; and a few were extremely challenging for even the most fit participants. You can skip any obstacles that you don't want to do, but few do.
"The feeling of accomplishment and pride I had was overwhelming when I crawled out of Trench Warfare, an obstacle I was terrified to go through," said Donna Rose, 43, of Harborcreek, also on the Run Hard, Finish Wet team. "My teammates were there for me and stayed in front and behind me the whole way."
Due to course conditions, the race took us nearly five hours to complete, which is about an hour longer than average for a large team. Every member of our team finished the race and got their free beer (though it was much too cold to drink it), hard-earned finishers shirt and orange Tough Mudder headband.
The verdict(s)
"Ohio was the first Tough Mudder for me and my husband, and we're already signed up for our second," said Lisa Meyer, 43, of North East. "Because of the conditions, we were glad this was our first because we didn't know any differently. We just figured that was Tough Mudder. Hopefully any we do after this will seem easy. It was great to complete the run and make strong bonds with some amazing people."
After getting out of the Arctic Enema in Ohio on May 17, I swore I'd never do another Tough Mudder but, like childbirth, you end up forgetting the pain and thinking, well ... maybe ...
"This was my first Tough Mudder, and throughout it, I swore it would be my last," said my teammate Debbie Humphreys, 43, of Harborcreek. "But I feel like Mother Nature interfered with my Tough Mudder experience. So, after I thawed, I decided I have to try at least one more."
Me, too (but only in July or August).
Final thoughts
"I learned that fear doesn't have to stop me," said LeAnne Morton, 42, a Harborcreek two-time Tough Mudder. HT

From megastars like Matt Damon to Cutting Edge alums like D.B. Sweeney , it seems like every celebrity in Hollywood has an opinion about this November's presidential election. Earlier this week, actress Jessica Alba decided to muzzle herself if that's what it would take to get America to vote (an enticing motivator, though perhaps not as compelling as keeping Diddy out of sight forever ). Now, a curiously able-to-speak again Alba has decided to pay it forward, muzzling other celebrities like Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and 90210's Tristan Wilds (is this because he made out with Dakota ? Is it?! ). Props must be paid to Alba, whose maniacally enthusiastic pitch should probably shoot to the top of her reel. Extra points if she can sew Dane Cook's lips shut next time! The clip, after the jump:

The strife-torn 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago marks the dividing line between the traditional nominating campaigns and those of the postreform era. In retrospect, few of the anti-Establishment reformers at the tumultuous 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago could have realized at the time how successful their demands for party reform would be and how soon they would be implemented, at least in their own party.
Shortly after the loss of the White House to the Republicans, new Democratic National Chairman Senator Fred Harris of Oklahoma appointed a reform commission headed by Senator George McGovern of South Dakota to review the entire presidential nominating process. McGovern and his fellow commission members held a series of hearings in the nation's capital and across the country before issuing their report, Mandate for Reform, 1 to the Democratic National Committee. The report was accepted and approved with minimal changes in May 1970, well in advance of the 1972 nominating season. Among the unanticipated consequences of the McGovern-Fraser Commission's work, the reforms unintentionally spawned the rapid spread of presidential primaries to more than a dozen new states, bringing the total number of primary states to twenty-nine in 1976 and thirty-five states in 1980. Thus, instead of nearly three quarters of the national convention delegates being chosen in the caucus-convention states, as was the case in 1968, the ratio was almost completely reversed. By 1980, almost three quarters of the national convention delegates were now elected

A look at Major League Baseball's first-half phenoms
First-half phenoms in Major League Baseball have a way of catching one's heart.
From kooky Mark Fidrych to lovable Fernando Valenzuela to entertaining pitchers such as Hideo Nomo and Dontrelle Willis, baseball fans have fallen in love with breakout players.
That's no different with Cuban-born outfielder Yasiel Puig, who is the toast of Los Angeles and baseball right now.
The Dodgers rookie is off to a torrid start, batting .391 with 59 hits in just 38 games, causing fans to go into frenzy. He's also turned heads in baseball with his reckless play and fiery attitude.
But the fans have been the most crazed.
Here are stories of some Oklahomans who were caught up in the aura of first-half phenoms.
Gene Burrus remembers high school football fans at games in his hometown Los Angeles tuned into their transistor radios listening to Vin Scully.
It was 1981, and Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela had captivated the city every fifth day when he took the mound with Fernandomania.
"It was incredible," said Burrus, 49. "There were people that had written songs about Fernando and everyone was listening to the songs about Fernando. The whole city was really just kind of tied up in what this one kid was going to do every five days."
Valenzuela started that season 8-0 and eventually helped the Dodgers to a World Series title.
But it was his popularity that is often talked about among the Los Angeles community, which has a strong Mexican demographic.
"It was just an amazing thing to watch that community get so fired up for this guy," Burrus said. "He really was just this good-natured kid who couldn't really speak much English, or at least he pretended he couldn't speak much English, so he would always use a translator for interviews."
Burrus, a lawyer who attended the University of Oklahoma for his undergraduate degree and now lives in Seattle, was one of those fans in the stands.
"I grew up a big Dodgers fan and I suffered through disappointments in the '70s," Burrus said. "That season started and it was amazing because every five days it had to be a fluke. He couldn't possibly do it again. But that spring he did it again and again and again."
Rob Clark did not necessarily talk to the baseball. He might have manicured the mound a few times. Maybe circled it once or twice.
"You think about things you did — you were just enjoying the game like he did," Clark said. "He was having fun, whether he talked to the ball or patted the mound."
Clark, 53, grew up in the era of Mark "The Bird" Fidrych. The Detroit Tigers' one-season wonder was tall and skinny with a red mop top. Nicknamed after the Sesame Street character Big Bird, Fidrych had the baseball world aflutter in 1976.
Fidrych's statistics were a worthy sports bar topic, but his on-the-mound antics made him a popular watch on TV and from the grandstands.
Truth: He had one-way conversations with baseballs. He often patted the dirt on the mound to clear away cleat marks. He sometimes exchanged balls with the home plate umpire because they might have "too many hits in them."
"We all did stuff like that as kids," said Clark, a former Oklahoma City 89ers pitcher who is now the computer and business department chairman at Moore High School. "We identified with him. I had a routine just like other kids did."
The crazy part was Fidrych's act seemed to work.
He was 7-1 the first half of the '76 season and earned the All-Star Game start. Fidrych was named American League Rookie of the Year after finishing 19-9 with a 2.34 ERA and an astounding 24 complete games.
People could not get enough of The Bird.
"He entertained people," Clark said. "But he was also out there having fun, enjoying the game just like us."
Knee and shoulder injuries limited Fidrych's career to five seasons, all with the Tigers. None were more spectacular than his rookie season. He died in 2009, at age 54, in a farming accident.
But he's still remembered for the Bicentennial summer when fans were pasted to television sets and packed stadiums.
"I wanted to be just like him," Clark said. "I worked hard to come up with some kind of unique routine of my own as did most kids that pitched. Our Little League coaches laughed at us sometimes ... it was a fun time period to be growing up and playing baseball."
Gordon Moody has been a Los Angeles Dodgers fan for as long as he can remember.
With the emergence of rookie phenom Yasiel Puig, the first half of this season provided some of the most unforgettable memories for Moody as a fan.
Puig — the Dodgers' top minor league prospect coming into this season — made his major league debut on June 3, starting in right field against the San Diego Padres. He wasted no time getting to work on what would be one of the most electrifying starts to a career in baseball history.
Puig hit leadoff in his debut, going 2-for-4 at the plate. But the most memorable moment that night, at least for Moody, came on a game-ending double play.
After making a catch just shy of the wall, Puig threw on a line to first base, doubling off the tying run and preserving a 2-1 victory.
"I said just 'wow' when I saw that," Moody said. "Not everyone can make that play. And to do it in his first start — that was pretty incredible."
Not only has Puig provided jaw-dropping highlights and a scorching .391 batting average for the first half, but he's also turned the Dodgers' season around. Before Puig's arrival, the Dodgers were nine games under .500 and failing to live up to lofty preseason expectations.
"When he got called up, I was surprised but really excited," Moody said. "It seemed like almost a desperation move at first because the Dodgers were playing so bad, but they had to do something. He's definitely stirred up the team with the way he plays."
After Puig showed up, the Dodgers closed out the first half of the season going 24-15 to pull within striking distance of first place in the NL West.
Moody, 49, is a lifelong Oklahoman currently living in Tulsa. He still manages to watch every game he can with DirecTV's MLB Extra Innings package, which allows him to watch the Dodgers broadcasts.
"It's kind of funny when I listen to the Dodgers broadcast to hear Vin Scully call him the Wild Stallion," said Moody, referring to the nickname Puig has received for his sometimes reckless play. "He's a guy that needs some polish, but despite the mistakes I think he plays the right way because he hustles. I've been watching baseball all my life and I've never seen a talent like this. He's not perfect, but he's been pretty incredible."

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is upset and infuriated over a fake video on the YouTube, in which he is shown promoting Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Big B said that he did a campaign for a media group in the year 2007 where he talked of the glorification of the country. But, someone has made a fake video by using his voice and text and uploaded it on the YouTube.
"Somebody has made a fake video by using my voice and text of what I spoke in the original, and falsely and mischievously, interspersed it with visuals which indicate a campaign for the promotion of the honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi," Bachchan posted on his blog (http://srbachchan.tumblr.com/), Wednesday night.
The 70-year-old also added that he has alerted authorities and would take action against the person, who had created the fake video and uploaded it on Youtube.
"I wish to state that this is an illegal act, inviting strong action, one that I am appalled by, and one that has no concurrence from me at all... I have brought this to the notice of the concerned authorities, and asked my Digital Team to find out its origin so that we can initiate action against the perpetrator," he posted.
"This is a blatant misuse and infringement of the Copyright Act, and needs to be condemned by all those that become a part of the platform. I am infuriated and angered," he added.
Bachchan's fans have shown support and posted comments favouring deletion of the video from YouTube.

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/22/2015
Since we last visited ExtremeBisexual...
I was wondering what was going to be so hardcore, beyond the obvious sex, on Extreme Bisexual. I discovered that the scenes have men and women in threesomes (obviously), foursomes or bigger groups (but there are only a few occasions of group sex beyond three or four). I guess that's what they mean by the bisex action being "extreme."
There are 170 videos on ExtremeBisexual and they're downloadable as clips and full-length films. They come in Windows Media and MP4 formats and offer mostly good-quality playback. The more recent movies also come with an HD version. The flicks can be streamed in Flash as well.
After enjoying the videos, there are about 127 photo galleries to check out. The quality varies, but you should find many high-res pics that are always large and crisp. You can download all the sets in Zip files.
The site provides a good range of performers. However, an interracial male duo and a hot blonde chick appear in multiple sets. I also liked that there were Latin and ebony studs on board, as well as some diversity in age and body type. I also noticed that sometimes there's bareback action.
The action itself tends to be hardcore from start to finish. My favorite scene shows two smooth, slender guys doing it with a babe with a strapon. Actually, there are several dildo-toting ladies fucking muscle studs and slim fellows up the butt.
Bonuses include other sites, but they often overlap in content. Nevertheless, there are some unique ones, like BBW Hunter, Gay Groupsex Videos and Big Cocks Sex. You can access all the sites through the network's mega-site All Porn Sites Pass. Overall, there are many heterosexual choices with a peppering of gay and tranny exceptions. There are also a bunch of video and picture feeds as well as a number of exclusive bisexual scenes on the site Bi Sex HD.
Extreme Bisexual has some hot bisex content and nice bonuses, but nothing is exclusive. Another unfortunate thing about the site is that it hasn't updated since 2014. Overall, though, the good outweighs the bad here, so go ahead and get yourself a membership if this kind of material is something that interests you.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Agira Travel guide
Agira : Michelin's recommendations
Agira, overlooked by the remains of a castle built during the Swabian period, owed its fame and prosperity to the Basilian monastery of San Filippo, which received substantial revenues from its properties throughout Europe. In 1537, Charles V granted the title of "Royal City" to Agira, which granted the town numerous privileges. However, once the Spanish crown began to experience financial difficulties, Philip IV decided to sell the city to Genoese merchants and Agira gradually fell into decline.

Snub-Nosed Monkey Unwilling to Have Hideous Snub-Nosed Baby
…so has one forcibly extracted from her by snub-nosed monkey midwife:
A female monkey gave birth to her first infant within fifteen minutes late one morning. While sitting in a rhododendron tree, she began twisting her body and calling faintly. After 10 minutes she started screaming, and then another female climbed up the tree. She was an experienced mother, and sat beside the labouring female while the crown of the infant's head appeared. Once the head was fully exposed, the "midwife" pulled the baby out with both hands and ripped open the birth membranes.
No, that's great, and pretty cool. Also, the monkey told everyone in her due date club that she reached orgasm while the baby was crowning, and was super happy she didn't wind up getting an epidural, and then the baby effortlessly latched and got double nines on her Apgars.
(Image is of black snub-nosed monkeys mercifully ducking the camera.)

text: HI everyone i8 was searching about this and I found very useful information about ths. And I would like to share that with you for Maximizing utility of new decorations in Empire and Allies, Don't worry with the decorations as they exist today. It's too much work and/or EP, and you don't even make as much as if you simply replaced the decoration through a working facility (oil well, mine, whatever). It probably doesn't make sense for most people who would like to reduce military costs, either. Figure that the best-case discount is through surrounding a single military facility through 8 refineries that you have to carry on staffed. That would result in a discount of 80% for a single facility. It would have cost you 240 EP for that discount. The most expensive unit you'd build uses 100,000 coins - 75,000 if you've researched it already. So you might save 60-80,000 coins every 18-24 hours and you'll have used a whole 3x3 grid to do so (as well as 240 EP).

You once asked me
Why did I do it
Wasn't nothing to it I found
Cuz you stole me
Thinking you owned me
But you're so lonely now
And you were worried
Making up stories
Hoping I would be out
And you ruled me
Saying what would be
Now I just see you around
I'll tell you something
You're not gonna win this time because I'm through
You're good for nothing
You saw right through me I don't think you knew
Who the hell I was
And I was waiting
Thinking you were changing
Hoping youd turn this around
But you were faking
Hanging on maybe
Now you're just lost in the crowd
And you fooled me
Saying you knew me
You were just keeping me down
And you were crazy
Thinking you'd change me
Now I'm just waking on out

Post-War & Contemporary Art
On view now
The reinstallation of the Wadsworth Atheneum's Contemporary Art collection—featuring work from 1945 to the present—opened on January 31, 2015 in three dedicated galleries that have been newly renovated and refurbished over the past year.
The year 2015 also marks the 40th anniversary of the museum's MATRIX series of contemporary art exhibitions. To celebrate this momentous occasion the reinstallation focuses especially on works by MATRIX artists.
Huntington Gallery includes mid-century abstract painting and sculpture by artists including Ellsworth Kelly (MATRIX 1) and Willem de Kooning (MATRIX 15), along with Alexander Calder, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Tony Smith.
Hilles Gallery features much loved masterworks by Duane Hanson (MATRIX 40), Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman (MATRIX 88), Bob Thompson (MATRIX 90), and Andy Warhol (MATRIX 50). New, large-scale gifts and acquisitions include important pieces by Chuck Close (MATRIX 35), George Segal, Kiki Smith, Richard Tuttle (MATRIX 10), and Kara Walker. A permanent video gallery features James Nares' STREET, a grand tour through the streets of Manhattan.
The newly reopened mezzanine gallery of the Colt building presents a wall drawing by international artist and Hartford native Sol LeWitt (MATRIX 3, MATRIX 6, and MATRIX 143). The first wall drawing to enter the museum's collection, it has long been off-view to visitors. The space also includes a selection of LeWitt sculptures from the collection.
(L): Willem de Kooning, Montauk 1, 1969, oil on canvas, The Ella Gallup Sumner and Mary Catlin Sumner Collection Fund, 1973.46; (R): James Nares, STREET (film still), 2012, high-definition video with sound, running time: 61 minutes, Purchased through the gift of Charles A. Goodwin, 2012.14.1

For more than a decade Florida has been making steady improvements in education, now ranking sixth nationally according to Education Week. Our students' performance has improved thanks to Florida based initiatives, increased competition, greater choice and local control over our schools. This must be protected.
In July, Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford sent a letter to the Education Commissioner requesting that Florida withdraw from the national education consortium known as the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers or PARCC. They believe that Florida should be in full control of creating the assessments and curriculum for our students, and not restricted to using a nationally created test. We couldn't agree more. Floridians know what is best for Florida students.
Now, Governor Scott has issued an executive order requiring Florida's withdrawal from PARCC, that Florida control student assessments, and that student data is protected. He made clear that he wants to ensure Florida students have the highest standards possible and that curriculum and instructional materials are decided at the local level.
The time to act is now. Please send an email to your Senator and Representative asking for their support of legislation that will codify Governor Scott's executive order and requests into law.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

MMT and Investment Dispute Settlement
The new conditions of complex institutional responsiveness in general, and the new network of NAFTA institutions in particular, offer firms of different scale and scope a rich array of specific incentives for overcoming national and local environmental regulatory protectionism in critical foreign markets and thus for enhancing their overall competitiveness. To what extent have these new opportunities actually been identified and employed by firms? With what skill have they been implemented? And what success have they enjoyed? In short, are the rational incentives offered by the new conditions of complex institutional responsiveness a powerful predictor of, and explanation for, actual firm behaviour?
To address these questions, and test the logic outlined in the previous chapter, this chapter, along with the following two chapters, conducts detailed case studies of three particular environmental regulatory issues that have involved industries from the three North American countries and that have engaged in varying degrees and ways NAFTAs' environmentally related institutions. The first is the case of MMT, an apparently environmentally harmful automobile fuel additive whose importation was banned by the Canadian government, leading its US-owned exporter into and distributor within Canada to activate NAFTA's Chapter 11 investment dispute settlement mechanism. The second is the case of agriculture, where disputes over the often discriminatory application of sanitary and phytosanitary standards have restricted trade throughout North America and beyond. The third is the case of the automotive industry, with a particular focus on efforts to reduce vehicle emissions on the part of original equipment manufacturers, fuel suppliers, and those involved in operational inspection and maintenance.
Together, a detailed exploration of these three cases allows a careful, disciplined process tracing and test of how complex institutional responsiveness is practised-- how firms actually employ the NAFTA institutions and other instruments, as a matter of corporate and political strategy, to overcome, reduce, and circumvent environmental regulatory protectionism and thereby enhance competitiveness. These three cases embrace all four types of firms at their different levels of internationalization. The agricultural case centres on domestic producers faced with competition from imports, and often competing with small home-based exporters seeking to take advantage of the newly opened NAFTA market place. The MMT case deals with a US home-based exporter and multinational, Ethyl Corporation. And the automotive case has at its core the US-owned big three automakers and their major suppliers who are transnational MNEs operating on a global scale.

Moultrie, Georgia - August 2, 2011 -
Deputies say some folks going to buy drugs were taking their infants and toddlers with them.
Colquitt County Deputies say bags of fake cocaine were sold during a drug sting the morning of Thursday, July 28th. What buyers didn't know was that inside the bags were dry apples.
A Crack house sits next door to a couple of kids, but on Thursday, a search warrant was issued and deputies set up shop.
"It's been five years since we've done an operation like this and by far this has been the most successful," says Colquitt County Drug Task Force Commander Steve Exum.
He says more than twenty people were arrested. Mary Johnson and Derrick Ryles were the first thrown behind bars.
Deputies say the window at the home located at 819 Ninth Avenue S.E. in Moultrie was used to distribute crack cocaine.
Exum tells WCTV they found about 10-12 grams of cocaine inside the home. He believes the people operating it cashed in more than one-thousand dollars a day.
"Drugs in the area, there's nothing we can do about it," says Colquitt County Resident Ted Jordan.
It wasn't the amount of money or the number of arrests that shocked Ted Jordan. Instead he says it was word that three of the people arrested brought their children, ages nine months to five years old, along for the ride.
"It must be one over-whelming powerful thing to do to have your kids there by your side," says Jordan.

Henderson is expected back this week, he was with the team Monday, though Cole's performance was enough to make the coaching staff give him more playing time. He should be rotated in more, but it's to be seen who's playing time he'll cut into.

"Never Under Estimate the Power of Stupid People, In a Large Crowd"

There aren't too many its a 14 team league. I have D. Washington, Alonso, and Worrilow I had Henderson but he's been awful for the past 5 or 6 weeks and not playing due to personal issues I dropped him. D Washington has been terrible as well so thats why I've been looking elsewhere - I have been considering Brad Jones or Audie Cole but I'm worried Cole won't get as much play time... 1 point per tackle, 1 point for tfl, 2 points for sack, 2 points for forced fumble, 3 for int, 6 for td - next year we'll be adding .5 for assists and 1 point for deflected passes...
Posted 28 November 2013 - 01:31 AM
I like your 3. If you need LB help keep your eye on E Sims - DAL hes playing the Mike and could be a tackle machine for your league scoring.
Henderson is probably looking at a suspension, word is he wont start this week

This was very tasty. My husband liked it too. I added onions and carrots to add more volume. I had enough points to crumble 1 oz of potato chips on top. That adds only 1 point per serving. I liked the crunch the chips added.
New favorite!!!
We really enjoyed this. My husband wants me to make it again next week. This is quite a compliment to the recipe, as HE is the good cook in the family, not me!
A little dry. Overall, pretty good flavor.

Looks like a 110 BCD, in which case you can use a compact ring set, usually 50/36 or 50/34, pretty ubiquitous these days. If you really want the 48t, you should be able to source one for this bolt pattern without too much trouble.
You'll want to verify the BCD, though. If it's 130mm, the smallest it'll take is a 38t, and you'd likely have to search high and low for a 48t.
Your FD might look a little unsuited to the curve of a 48t ring, but it should work pretty well since FDs were a lot less fussy back in the day.
No dramas with your freewheel (I can't imagine what), except if it was me I'd ditch it for a 7s Hyperglide job.

Cranks don't care how many "speeds" you have in back so any road or MTB crank will work. A newer 9-speed or 10-speed crank may not be happy with your wider chain but otherwise, they will work. If you do change the crank, you will most likely need a new bottom bracket to match.
As best I can see from the photos, you have a crank with a 110 mm BCD (bolt circle diameter) so any chainring with that bolt circle will work. You can fit as small as a 33T chainring to that crank so you can regear it as you wish and chainrings in that bolt circle diameter are quite available.
Keeping your crank is definitely the go, much simpler (although chainrings cost nearly as much as entire cranksets). You'd just fit the rings, lower the FD and shorten the chain.
This is a nice old bike; I wouldn't replace anything that wasn't a wear item with non-original stuff, or it'd be spoiled.
+1) just change the chainrings themselves ,, a 48 34 is possible .. and EZ.
a TA 33t is overspending a bit..

Salon Pedicure At Home - EASY Step by Step
Even if the snow is falling and you aren't
wearing your sandals or walking barefoot
in the garden.
It is good to still pamper your feet or get them
Here are some easy at home pedicure steps
to save you money from going to a salon:
Pamper Prep
Position a chair behind a clean, wide bucket filled with hot water.
Fold a bath towel into a square and place it at the bottom of the bucket. This will give your feet a comfortable surface to rest on when you soak them.
Add half a cup of epsom salt, a natural disinfectant. I also like to throw in a few capfuls of Johnson + Johnson Soothing Vapor Bath for Colds. It contains rosemary, eucalyptus and menthol -- three therapeutic, cleansing herbs that make the room you're in smell just like a spa.
Grooming Guide
Use a cotton pad soaked with nail-polish remover to take off old polish. If your cuticles are dry, add a drop of olive oil to the pad before using it on your nails.
Clip your toenails straight across with clippers.
Use a nail file to smooth the edges, including the sides. Best shape: square with rounded edges.
Soothe Your Soles
Soak your feet in the hot water for five minutes, then rest them on the edge of the bucket.
Dip a foot file, in the water, then use it to smooth your heels, the balls of your feet and the outsides of your pinkie toes.
Pat feet dry with a towel.
To get cuticles under control, use the edge of the nail file to push your cuticles back, then a nail brush dipped in an exfoliating scrub, like some of the homemade exfoliating scrubs we have posted on body shoppe, to clean the area where your nail meets your skin.
If you feel that you must get rid of your cuticles, have a pro do it in a salon so you don't end up with painful, ingrown toenails.
Rinse, then dry feet and apply a generous amount of super-moisturizing foot lotion or cream. If you have someone around - let him/her massage it into your feet and calves. ;)
Wash the moisturizer off your toenails with soap and water and let them dry.
Polish How-To's
Create space between toes with a foam toe separator.
Apply one coat of base coat, two coats of color and one coat of top coat.
Use a Q-tip moistened with nail-polish remover to remove any polish that missed the mark.
Let your polish dry for a few hours before putting on close-toed shoes.
Apply one coat of top coat three days after your pedicure, then every third day after that to keep polish from chipping.

I've read a ton of these and Pelagia Horgan's appreciation of Fra Angelico is the best by far. Give it time to build: The loveliest image I know is Fra Angelico's 'Entry of the Blessed into Paradise', a scene from his painting The Last Judgment of 1431. In it, the blessed, just risen from their graves, gather together in a flowering garden to join hands with angels and dance into the light of heaven.

ABOUT 1,000 people joined a community event on an Oxford estate arranged to coincide with a resident's 100th birthday.
The annual Barton Bash is usually held in either August or November, but organisers made the decision to bring it forward to celebrate Dorothy Pearce's centenary on Saturday.
And the heavy downpours did not stop the crowds pouring to the Neighbourhood Centre, in Underhill Circus, for the free event, which organisers say attracted hundreds of people. The day included judo demonstrations, dancing, face-painting.
Barton Community Association secretary Sue Holden said: "Because of the weather we did have our apprehensions, but it was absolutely brilliant."
Visitors also sang Happy Birthday to Ms Pearce, below at the bash. The centenarian, of Stowford Road, has lived in Oxford since the 1940s.
She said she was surprised the event had been moved for her, adding: "Everyone was so jolly and happy. I enjoyed it very much. I did not know they were doing this just for me. My family have come up from Wales and it was really nice seeing them all. I haven't seen many of them for a long time."
Mrs Holden said: "Dorothy is still an active volunteer with us and we had to acknowledge her. It is in honour and celebration of Dorothy."

I am new to the forums and just want to say hello to all the good people here. I have learned quite a bit about bikes in general while searching the archives and hope to learn more as I am becoming more and more obsessed with this greatest of all human achievements: the bicyle! I live in an area of W. Mass. that has some nice riding close by and would be happy to join others in the area for some modest (distance and pace) rides. I am just getting back into riding after years of neglect so need to take it easy. Currently, I have more bikes than I know what to do with:
1996 Croll road
1994 Bridgestone RB-T
1991 (?) RB-T frameset (cyclo cross project)
1983 Univega Super Strada
2006 Kogswell P58
I will post some pictures once I learn how, computers scare me.

Two Catholics Differ on Same-Sex Marriages; Let's Invite Gay and Lesbian Catholics to a Church Wedding
Daniels, Dwight, U.S. Catholic
Let's invite gay and lesbian Catholics to a church wedding
The time has come for the Catholic Church to invite gay and lesbian Catholics to the celebration of Matrimony. Such an invitation would have a positive impact on the lives of many gay and lesbian Catholics and would be equally beneficial for the life and health of the institutional church.
Access to Matrimony would be a great boost to the self-esteem of gay and lesbian Catholic couples. It may be more acceptable to be gay today than it was a generation ago, but many lesbian and gay adults still carry considerable internalized shame from messages received while growing up. They have been taught that there is something deeply flawed--"intrinsically disordered," to use the phrase of a recent church statement, in being attracted to someone of the same sex.
"Guilt is when you make a mistake; shame is when you are a mistake" goes a shorthand explanation of the difference between these two emotions. Most gay and lesbian adults have grown up with such toxic shame. It manifests itself in all sorts of unhealthy and destructive behaviors. Abuse of alcohol or drugs, promiscuous and careless sex, and transitory and sometimes abusive relationships within segments of the gay community can be traced to low self-esteem.
With same-sex Matrimony, the church could help gay and lesbian Catholics construct healthy, loving, nurturing, and lasting relationships. Matrimony would encourage stability by bringing the entire faith community to the aid of the couple. Is this not what church and society do for heterosexual couples? We witness their commitment, pledge our' support, and give them the best send-off possible, materially as well as spiritually. Why not do the same for same-sex partners who seek a permanent and faithful relationship?
By opening Matrimony to gay and lesbian couples, the church will gain greater access to their lives and will be in a better position to teach and support the values the church upholds for all human relationships: compassion, justice, honesty, and generosity. These noble values are not absent from the gay community-witness its compassionate response to AIDS that set new standards. But at the same time, gay culture is quite vulnerable to the influence of a materialistic consumerism that encourages an obsession with sexual attraction, youth, and fashion. The church at its best holds up an alternative vision--the vision of Jesus, Saint Francis of Assisi, and Dorothy Day. The gay community would benefit from hearing more of this message. Absent the alternative vision, much spiritual energy is wasted: "Without vision, the people perish."
The church can and should call gays and lesbians to a high standard of behavior, but one that is based on the core values of compassion, justice, honesty, and generosity. Instead, church leaders have focused on something beyond a person's control--sexual orientation (something even church teaching has acknowledged to be morally neutral)--and have condemned certain sexual behavior regardless of context, merely on the basis of orientation. This kind of thinking heightens, rather than lessens, the alienation gay people feel and perpetuates discrimination and ostracism.
The sheer amount of energy and attention the institutional church devotes to sexual issues suggests an adolescent obsession with the topic. This is not to denigrate the holy witness and chaste, healthy lives of many of those in religious life, but on the level of church teaching and discipline something seems clearly out of balance. Given today's pressing social issues and the hunger for spiritual leadership, it is a shame to see the church squander so much of its moral capital on issues best left to mature adults in the privacy of their bedrooms.
To accept the validity of gay and lesbian Matrimony, the church would need to embark on a major rethinking of its sexual ethics. Such a reexamination would be as refreshing to church life as was Pope John XXIII's call for a new opening--an aggiornamento--at the Second Vatican Council. …

Bridal Veil Falls in the Pacific Northwest @ 125.7 Megapixels
Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall located on Bridal Veil Creek in the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States.
The Historic Columbia River Highway passes over Bridal Veil Falls on a bridge. From a parking lot on the highway, a winding footpath and another bridge lead to a vantage point for the falls. The falls consists of two cascades in quick succession along angling rockfaces, so when there is a good amount of water the falls looks very much like its namesake.
There is a post office in the nearby community of Bridal Veil. Many couples have their wedding invitations shipped there in order to have the town's postmark applied to them.

Roughly speaking, dynamic range is the range of brightness that can be recorded with fidelity without blowing the highlights to pure white or turning dark tones to pure black. Dynamic range can be measured, but as a practical matter what counts is usable dynamic range: dark tones that aren't usable if they also contain defects like blotchy or pattern noise.
Medium format cameras tend to have a wonderful dynamic range of 12 stops or a bit more, fitting into their 16-bit image files. The D3x has no quoted dynamic range but it does offer 16-bit internal processing stored as 14-bit files. Further testing should establish usable dynamic range for the D3x. It is clear that ISO 50 on the D3x does not have the dynamic range of a medium format digital back at ISO 50. Photographers who must have maximal dynamic range will need to use medium format digital, or HDR multi-shot techniques.

As City Evolves, So Do Places of Worship
By F. ROMALL SMALLS
Published: November 22, 1998
MOUNT VERNON— IF someone wanted to tell the story of this city, founded in 1853, a good place to start would be with the development of places of worship.
One of the latest chapters in the city's changing identity was written this fall when two of the largest Jewish congregations celebrated Rosh ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur for the last time in synagogues that have long been cornerstones of Judaism in southern Westchester.
Also underscoring the changing demographics, several black churches are on the move, out of neighborhoods that have traditionally been black and into new neighborhoods. In two cases, they have relocated to buildings that once housed synagogues.
And, in one instance, a synagogue is temporarily sharing its space with a black congregation, Allen Memorial Church of God in Christ, until the synagogue's smaller new home is ready next year. The Jewish congregation that will worship there is expected to come from the planned merger of two shrinking Reform temples, the Free Synagogue of Westchester and the Sinai Temple.
The Free Synagogue has already sold some of its property, on North Columbus Avenue, for a housing development for the elderly. The Allen Church eventually hopes to take over the Sinai building; it has already sold a smaller former home in a residential neighborhood on the city's largely black South Side to another Pentecostal group, the Christ Centered Ministries.
The Friendship Worship Center, a Baptist congregation with nearly 200 members, spent $1.3 million last summer to buy the Emanu-El Jewish Center, the last Conservative synagogue in Mount Vernon.
For nearly 50 years, the Friendship congregation had been known as the Little Friendship Free Will Baptist Church and occupied a cream-colored building with a copper steeple on the corner of South Ninth Avenue and Fifth Street on the South Side. (Before Little Friendship moved in in 1955, the church housed the First Italian Baptist Church.)
''I have always had a larger vision for this ministry than what most of the congregation had,'' said the Rev. C. Nathan Edwers, who has been at the helm of Friendship for nine years and was recently chosen bishop-elect by the regional conference of the United Free Will Baptist Church. His vision was also bigger than the church's 7,000-square-foot building.
''Little Friendship didn't have the necessary space to accommodate the ministry that we were doing,'' Pastor Edwers said. ''We started those ministries despite the facilities. We had tutoring services down in the basement. We offered during the holidays toys for children, food and clothes for those who needed them.''
In line with what Mr. Edwers calls his ''full-service vision,'' the church has established a nonprofit subsidiary called Agape Community Services, using a Greek word for love. The center will operate an after-school tutoring program, a catering service, a Christian book store and a day-care center for the young and old.
Though Mr. Edwers got the congregation's permission to sell the old building and negotiate the purchase of the 26,000-square-foot Emanu-El Jewish Center, not everyone was happy with the move. As a result, he has lost some members and deacons who preferred to stay in their neighborhood.
''Most of the members didn't believe it was going to happen, so they voted not thinking it was going to happen,'' Mr. Edwers said.
Patricia Randolph, 36, a member of Friendship for more than six years, acknowledged being unsettled by some of the changes, especially the decision to sell Little Friendship. Still, she said she believed that the move would be a great opportunity for the new programs that Mr. Edwers envisions, adding, ''He said he wanted a school and to feed the homeless, and now we have the space.''
Mr. Edwers said there is a link between the synagogue and his new church. ''Jewish people have always put emphasis on making their place the center of their community,'' he said. ''Generations to come will see this place as a place of hope and as a place that will provide direction and education.''
That is not the only connection between his congregation and Emanu-El.
''Some years ago we had an ecumenical exchange service here, with this synagogue, not knowing that we would purchase this building,'' he said. In October 1994, Mr. Edwers and Emanu-El's rabbi, Barry Dov Lerner, agreed to have each of their congregations worship together. They did this in an effort to temper tension between black and white residents at the time when there was a divisive school board election.
For three decades, the number of blacks in Mount Vernon has steadily increased and the number of whites has decreased. Blacks today represent about 54 percent of the city's population of 67,000. In the mid-50's, only 15 percent of the population was nonwhite.
Whites make up about 39 percent of the population here and people of Hispanic origin make up about 7 percent. In the 1950's nearly 24 percent of Mount Vernon's population was Jewish. Today Jews represent less than 4 percent.
The Mount Vernon Department of Planning and Development estimates that there are more than 400 predominantly black churches of various sizes and denominations in the city, including some of the oldest and largest black congregations in Westchester County, like the 110-year-old Grace Baptist Church, which has about 3,000 members.
Dr. Larry H. Spruill, Mount Vernon City Historian and the school district's former director of multicultural education, offered this perspective on the changes:
