When I started doing the morning (breakfast) rides with the retired members of the club I belong to, I thought it was kind of neat..
Ride 20 miles and stop for a coffee and bagle break then ride back to the start.
Then I started doing a tuesday morning ride with a rider who didn't like stopping for more than the power bar and water.
"What" I discovered was: I stopped having the leg cramping and muscle fatigue I was having after those 20 min./half hour 'coffee breaks'.
I got more out of the ride as well (conditioning wise)
So I ask: Ride Breaks over 5 min or so..yea or nay for the rest of you folks?

Lopez is new Del Mar race starter
"My dad isn't doing well, and I've got to take care of him this summer," Brinson told U-T San Diego in the paddock area Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park, where Brinson joined others in saying goodbye to I'll Have Another. "I talked to Joe Harper about it Friday and let him know I can't make it down there this year. I hate to miss it, but family comes first, and Joe understands that."
Brinson arguably is the best in the business, having perfected pushing the starters button from the ground, rather than a starter's stand. Brinson said being on the ground gave him a better perspective as to whether the horses and riders were ready for the gate to open. A poor start usually costs a horse any chance at winning.
Brinson also assembled a crew that is considered one of the best in training problem horses to settle down in the starting gate. A good start to a race is one of the most important aspects of horse racing.
Brinson learned the game from his father, Ross, and older brother, Clay. Gary walked hots and mucked stalls when he was just 5 years old. He and Clay also rode as jockeys and exercise riders. He learned to love Del Mar.
"We could hardly wait to get there every year after Hollywood Park," Brinson once said. He and his brother, Clay, often rode horses down at the Del Mar beach before horses were banned from the beach. They had match races on their ponies.
Brinson started working in the starting gate at Hollywood Park in 1971 when track owner Marj Everett hired him. He also started horses at Los Alamitos. He became Del Mar's starter in 1997, and his trademark became his move to the ground level to start races. He perfected that move, and other starters around the country have copied him.
Brinson and his staff through the years also have helped problem horses like Lit de Justice and Rock Hard Ten become more relaxed in the starting gate.
Brinson once said: "Assistant starters are worth their weight in gold. If you don't have an experienced crew behind you, you can be the best in the world and you ain't nothin.' The crew makes the starter. I just push the button."
Del Mar opens for its 75th anniversary season on July 18. The 37-day meeting extends to Sept. 5.

hope it isnt london, it would be too getawayish- and the getaway sucked, im from glasgow in the uk, i still dont want it based in the UK. it should always be based in the usa, who would want to play through a lock stock and too smokin barrels game, not me hate london cockney accent, would ut me off playin the new gta if was based in london.
stick to the usa it always gonna be better
There is nothing wrong with a cockney accent. I live in London, I see crime every day. In fact, I was woken up this morning after somebody abandoned a stolen car. London would offer different crime, different people. Same with France. France has a lot of dodgy shit and that would be a great place for a money making storyline.
In fact, it would be even better if London and Paris were joined up. Start in London, drive down to Dover, get a Ferry, go to Calais, Drive to Paris. Just shorten the journey a bit, and you would have two amazing settings for GTA 5.

France has a lot of dodgy shit and that would be a great place for a money making storyline.
You just made me remember something, back when I was in secondary school we went to Paris on a trip (I think it was for our French lesson or something ) We were under the Eiffel tower and there were loads of dodgy vendors selling cheap tacky shit, one came up to me brandishing a lighter waving it under my nose, he then pressed a button on the side of the lighter and a flickknife came out, I said "what, are you trying to sell it to me or mug me?" Then later we were at a McDonalds near the Arc De Triomphe, outside there were (more) dodgy vendors selling (more) tacky shit, models of the Eiffel tower etc. We went into McDonalds, managed to order some "le froggy fries" sat down, began eating, and some guy on a table opposite ours began going crazy, throwing his drink at the walls, kicking chairs. Then a black guy in a suit came running out of a door nearby and punched the guy in the face, knocking him out, he had a McDonalds badge on so I assume he was the manager. We shrugged our shoulders, carried on eating and left, as we were leaving we heard police cars getting closer, the vendor outside quickly gathered up his shit in the towel it was laying on, chucked it over his shoulder and ran off.
True story nigguh, was one funny trip.

Tony Gwynn: A star on and off the field
Letters to the editor on the death of Tony Gwynn, for June 16, 2014
In the annals of the baseball world, he was elite. His statistics, his records, his consistency, his stardom, his work ethic, and his Hall of Fame enshrinement validate it. But what truly mattered to him and guided him throughout his much too short life was his common touch.
If you were lucky enough to meet him, you would walk away believing he was now one of your best friends. I was one of the fortunate ones — he was a friend for 30 years, and I will miss him like he was one of my family.
Si Coleman
You're never too old to have heroes, and Tony Gwynn will always be mine. Part of my childhood is gone .... the best part. Even when I was the worst player on my Little League team, getting placed in right field where I would rarely even get a chance to touch the ball, there was still some dignity in that because Tony Gwynn was a right fielder, too.
Tony taught me a lot — indirectly, of course — about baseball, and about life. He showed me that a commitment is something to be admired. Staying with one team for 20 years, especially when that team finishes in last place over and over again, is something that has to be admired. A good work ethic can make up for your shortcomings in life. No matter how good you are at something, never rest on your laurels, because even something good can be improved. Never forget a teammate, and never take your eye off the ball. Heck, fat guys can be talented too. These are all things that I've taken from watching Tony Gwynn over the years.
We never truly crossed paths, never formally met, never shook hands. I regret that I never had a chance to say "thank you" in person. But for a kid growing up in San Diego in the '80s, Tony Gwynn was one heck of a good role model.
John Robert Crawford
Del Cerro
In 1999, a couple friends, my youngest daughter (11 years old then) and I made a trek to Yuma to watch the Padres play a Saturday day game against the Diamondbacks. Toward the end of the game Tony was making his way to the charter bus sitting behind left-field.
My daughter, Rachel, and I headed over to the stands at the left-field line so she could get his autograph. She was waiting patiently while Tony was signing "anything and everything put in front of him." She had been waiting for awhile when all of a sudden a man with "Santee" emblazoned on the back of his T-shirt started pushing my daughter out of the way so he could get closer to Tony for an autograph. Livid, I called out to the man, "Hey, the guy with the Santee on the back of your shirt, you want to quit pushing my little girl out of your way!"
Without missing a beat, as Tony finished the autograph he was signing, he looked up and said, "Now where's the little girl that's getting pushed out of the way?"
Bobby Hedrick
Monday morning, for the first time in over a decade, I put in my old VHS tape of the Padres vs. Yankees in Game One of the 1998 World Series. As I am watching the interviews of Tony and how excited he was to be in the World Series in New York, I got a call that Tony had passed.
More than bizarre, but something else at work maybe? As I typed this letter, Tony was rounding the bases after his home run into the upper deck at Yankee Stadium, soaking in the moment, living his childhood dream. I watched him on the screen, regally circling the bases, and it made me think that he lived the life he was born to live.

Films and accompanying talks by two highly acclaimed filmmakers will be presented at Sarah Lawrence College the week of February 22. All programs are free and open to the public and will be held in the Donnelley Film Theatre in the Heimbold Visual Arts Center.
On Monday, February 22, at 6.30 p.m. the legendary experimental filmmaker, Ken Jacobs, will screen recent short videos, as well as footage of a Nervous Magic Lantern performance with John Zorn, the avant-garde composer and musician. Jacobs is one of the most distinguished and well-known experimental filmmakers in the United States. In addition to making numerous canonical avant-garde films, he has been at the forefront of exploring the possibilities of other moving image media, such as digital video, and incorporating these media into live performances. He has also created unique film projection systems, such as The Nervous System, a double-analysis projector that derives 3-D from standard 2-D film most often using archival and other found footage. Jacobs was a former painting student of abstract artist Hans Hoffman and an influential teacher of Art Spiegelman (known for his work Maus). A reception will follow.
Four films by the renowned Brazilian film director Bruno Barreto will be shown over three days beginning on Tuesday, February 23. The screenings will culminate with a talk by the director on Thursday, February 25. Barreto was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1955 and started making movies at the age of fifteen. At twenty-one he made his first international hit, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1976, with Sonia Braga), a comedy that will be the opening film of the series. It will be followed by the political thriller Four Days in September (1997, with Alan Arkin), the comedy Bossa Nova (2000, with Amy Irving), and Barreto's most recent work, Last Stop 174 (2008, based on the true story of a bus hijacking in Rio de Janeiro). The film-viewing and talk schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday, February 23 at 1:30 p.m.: Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands
- Tuesday, February 23 at 3:35 p.m.: Four Days in September
- Wednesday, February 24 at 7 p.m.: Bossa Nova
- Thursday, February 25 at 3:35 p.m.: Last Stop 174
- Thursday, February 25 at 5:30 p.m.: Bruno Barreto Talk

Building owners and utilities stand to save over $3.4 billion in energy costs if they work together to improve multifamily structures, according to a report by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a nonprofit advocating energy efficiency, and CNT Energy, a sustainability think tank.
Due to the complexity of the utility industry, there is no one incentive that will attract utilities and building owners nationwide, according to Engaging as Partners in Energy Efficiency: Multifamily Housing and Utilities.
However, some utilities are working with building owners to streamline data collection. For example, ComEd in Illinois provides free benchmarking for commercial customers. Partnerships like these offer savings for buildings and the opportunity for the utility to shut down old, inefficient power plants or avoid building new ones.
Replacing aging equipment with more efficient ENERGY STAR-rated models is a vital step for building owners, the study noted. In some areas, multifamily buildings may be eligible for lighting or appliance rebates and weatherization programs.
A few utilities have developed programs for multifamily buildings, but many don't recognize multifamily properties as separate from residential and commercial properties. The study offers three strategies to make energy efficiency more attractive to utilities:

The weekend Tyler and I went to Boston to visit his brother and sister-in-law, we decided to dedicate one night to home-cooking. This means, Tyler does all of the cooking. Keith airs out the apartment when it got too smoky. And I sit with Anita with our legs up basking in the apartment's amenities, covered in plush, warm blankets with a glass of wine, and watching New Girl on Hulu. Isn't Zoey Deschanel the cutest!? I contributed by cutting the Brussels sprouts in half, helping with the table set up, and pouring the champagne. It takes extra skill to pour the champagne, you know?
Since it's Thanksgiving week, I figured I'd share pictures of this amazing meal. I guess I was also in the way of the cook photographing the meal, so I wasn't that idle. I'm just giving myself undeserved credit.
The menu included a whole roasted chicken, Brussels sprouts and bacon, lettuce salad made with homemade croutons and dressing, and fingerling potatoes. For dessert, we had one fruit tart and one chocolate tart that we most certainly did not bake, but purchased at the local cafe/bakery.
I should also give credit to Anita for creating the rustic and beautiful atmosphere with her choice of plates, serving dishes, and utensils.
Also, because it's Thanksgiving week, we might as well write about what we're most grateful for. Everyday, I have a new list, but I'll just focus on the top 5 for now.
Here's my list:
- My family's unconditional love.
- My boyfriend's undeniable support in everything I put my time into.
- Having great friends in this exciting but crazy city that can be very lonely at times.

Info on adoption loans?
We applied for a no-interest covenant loan from LIfesong. We haven't heard back yet, but we expect to hear sometime by the end of February. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with this. What are the chances we'll be approved? We're hoping for like $8000, just enough to send in the dossier. I'm hoping with the adoption tax credit in place they'll still be lending money. Anyone know? Thanks!!

The Empty Crypt
A long time ago, a young man who had heard legends of a magic crypt that contained the secret of immortality decided to search for it. After searching for many years, he found it. It was in the Holy Land, hidden underground among some old Roman ruins. He entered the crypt, but it was empty. He saw no secrets written inside about immortality, and no magic elixir or fountain of youth. There was not even a coffin or a sarcophagus. The underground crypt just had an empty recessed area cut into the stone wall where a corpse or a coffin would have been placed. He lay down in the bare alcove, confused.
Suddenly, he felt like he was outside of himself, looking at where he sat. Time seemed to pass swiftly. Watching helplessly, he saw himself quickly age and die. He witnessed his corpse and clothes rot away until there was nothing left. The crypt was empty again.
Time continued to race by for him—years seemed to pass in minutes. Eventually, he saw a husband and wife approach the crypt. They build an enclosure over the crypt's entrance, then entered and carved on the wall their names and a short account of their discovery of the crypt. They lay down in the same alcove. In nearly an instant their bodies aged and rotted away, just as his had. After a few years, their children came to the crypt looking for their parents. They found the enclosure built by their parents and their writings carved on the wall. Every few years, the children returned to visit the crypt. Their numbers grew over time as they brought their spouses and children, then grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each time they came, they would build onto the protective enclosure at the crypt's entrance, gradually turning it into a grand building. They would also add to their ancestors' writings on the stone wall, turning them into a grand epic.
The man awoke from his vision, young again, lying on the bare alcove of the crypt. He urgently made the long journey back home. He married; had children; lived well; built; and wrote. For, in the crypt that day, he learned the secret of immortality.

The Emperor's New Clothes
There once was a vain emperor for whom nothing mattered more than what others thought of him. One day, two swindlers entered his kingdom. They presented themselves as weavers and tailors of fine clothing. For a very large sum, they offered to make the finest, most beautiful, and splendorous suit of clothes ever seen. Even more, they said that the clothes' fabric was magic and would be invisible to anyone lacking in wisdom or virtue. They were very convincing. The emperor and his ministers believed the swindlers, and the emperor hired them to make new clothes for him.
As the swindlers pretended to fit the clothes on the emperor and cut and sew them, neither the emperor nor his ministers could see anything. Each of them began to doubt whether the swindlers had been telling the truth, but none wanted to admit that they couldn't see the clothes. No one wanted to contradict what they thought was the consensus of the group. And no one wanted the others to think that he was lacking in wisdom and virtue.
Finally, the swindlers declared that the clothes were ready. It was announced to the subjects in the empire that the emperor would have a procession to show his new clothes, which could only be seen by the wise and the virtuous. The emperor presented himself to the swindlers, dressed only in his undergarments. The swindlers pretended to dress him. The emperor doubted whether there were really clothes on him, but he feared admitting that he could see no clothes and looking like he lacked wisdom or virtue. And even if he could prove that the tailors were swindlers, he feared looking like a fool for having been deceived by them long enough to get to that point. He thought it better to go along with them and rely on the small chance that maybe the clothes were real.
The emperor marched out in a regal procession amongst his subjects, who were gathered in large crowds outside the palace. The subjects all made a show of being in awe of his fine clothes. None wanted to disagree with the received wisdom, and none wanted to appear to be lacking in wisdom or virtue.
The emperor passed by a child who laughed and asked why the emperor was parading around in his underwear. The child's parents were deeply embarrassed. They sharply disciplined him, and the child learned to not contradict the group's opinion.
Later, the emperor passed a man who was known for standing up for the truth as he saw it. He was not argumentative, but he wasn't afraid to share what he thought, even if it contradicted others. Like the boy, he stood up and said that the emperor had no clothes. The man was ostracized by his friends and neighbors, and few paid heed to his opinion.
The emperor continued to wear his new "clothes." The swindlers began making clothes for the emperor's ministers, then for the nobles in the empire, then for the wealthy, and then for the commoners. The swindlers grew wealthy and powerful.
Only a few people who were not afraid to stand up for the truth (as best they could understand it) continued to wear clothes. They were looked down upon by the majority and sometimes even shunned. They were mocked for lacking wisdom and virtue.
The empire had a warm climate. For many years, the majority who dressed in pretend clothes were able to go about their lives dressed only in their underwear with relatively little discomfort. Finally, though, a rare blizzard came through the empire. Most of the subjects no longer had any real outer clothes left to wear. The ostracized subjects who still wore clothes tried to share them with the others, but they refused. By now, they had banished their doubts. They had fooled themselves into believing that their clothes were real. They all froze to death, firm in their false beliefs.
The only ones who survived were those who did not let themselves be fooled by the swindlers and the group's opinions. They showed their wisdom and virtue not through imaginary magic or by pretending to see things that weren't there, but by firmly standing for truth, even when it was hard and there often seemed to be little immediate reward for doing so.

The Community of the Sighted
(A continuation of The Teacher to the Blind and The Healer of the Half Blind)
One of the disciples of the healer of the half blind grew dissatisfied with the secret teachings of the healer. The disciple recognized that he could see many things he couldn't see before. He was grateful for the half-sight he had received, but it felt like there was also much that was missing from the healer's cure and from his teachings. The disciple started noticing how much he still couldn't see. Objects were blurry. He couldn't see detail. He couldn't tell the difference between similar shades He couldn't see far away. And he couldn't see well in the dark. He also began to suspect that there were other things to see that he wasn't even aware of. He resolved to journey to the healer's original community and see if he could discover more about the cure that had been preached by its original teacher.
After a long and difficult journey, he found his way back to the original community of the blind. They were still blind, and they were still divided into groups that clung to different beliefs about the teacher. He studied the teachings of the different groups of followers of the teacher. He noticed some things in common between almost all of the different groups, some of which were absent from the healer's cure. He tried those things, and noticed that his eyesight got better. Next, he tried the unique teachings and practices of each group. (Some of them came from the teacher, and some were new. The new ones had mostly developed slowly over time as the groups diverged from each other and came up with new practices and teachings not from the original teacher.) Most of these unique teachings and practices had little value and had no effect on his eyesight. But occasionally some of them would make his eyesight even better. He paid careful attention to what was successful and compiled a list of what worked and what didn't. Combined together, the things that worked had great positive effect. Eventually, he re-discovered a complete cure to his blindness. With the new additions, the cure was even better than the teacher's original cure.
He wanted to share this cure with everyone. But he know that the members of the community had rejected such cures in the past. He thus avoided forcefully promoting his cure. Instead, he sought out those who felt their blindness, even though they didn't know what it was like to see—those who yearned for a real cure, as he had. He taught first in the community of the blind, then he returned to his home in the community of the half-blind. Finally, he started traveling and teaching throughout the country. He discovered that everyone in the country was blind and needed to be cured. The followers of the teacher and the healer had also started teaching throughout the country, though, and there were many who chose to follow their useless or only partially successful cures.
Those who applied the real cure to heal themselves began to form a group focused on the cure, not on the healer or the teacher of the cure. And they tried out new approaches to improve the cure; some worked, some didn't. They kept the ones that worked and discarded the ones that didn't. The cure got better and better as more people tried it out and worked on improving it. They did not try to be secret or covert about what they were doing, but they were discreet. They knew that many weren't emotionally prepared to accept this new approach or for the sensory overload of complete sight. Their group of cure-followers grew. It was not as large as the others, but it attracted wise and practical people who could tell the difference between falsehood and truth, between that which is relevant and irrelevant. They became leaders in their communities, helping the rest to see the way. Eventually, many were healed of their blindness.

The Healer of the Half Blind
(A continuation from The Teacher to the Blind)
Long after the teacher left, one of the blind who had heard the teacher's original instructions finally heeded them and cured himself of his blindness. He declared himself a follower of the teacher and a healer of the blind. He tried to spread the teacher's original message. The members of the community had known the follower since he was a boy. They knew all of his weaknesses and imperfections. Among all the conflict about different beliefs in the teacher, they refused to believe that the follower's simple message had any relevance. They mocked him and refused to listen to him. They cast him out.
The follower spent time in contemplation and meditation alone in the wilderness. He finally realized that the cure he was preaching was so easy and simple that no one believed it would work. After wandering alone in the wilderness, he found his way to another community of the blind. He preached to the community members, saying that he had a great hidden secret to cure their blindness. He refused to reveal it to them at first. He said the cure was a grand and sacred secret, and that he would only reveal it to those who had been initiated in its mysteries. When he did reveal the cure to new initiates, he added many unnecessary steps and false explanations about how the cure worked, making the cure a much longer and more onerous process. Worse still, he had forgotten several necessary, easy steps and failed to teach them to his followers.
His followers were only partially cured of their blindness, but even this partial cure appeared miraculous to them. The follower was hailed as a visionary, and acclaimed as a great healer. He drew many disciples to himself. They were never fully cured of their blindness, though, and the cure they did receive came after much unnecessary pain and effort.

The Teacher to the Blind
A wise teacher came among a community of the blind. He taught the people what they needed to do to cure their own blindness. The people whom he taught were so in awe of his wisdom and compassion that they wanted to know more about who he was. Being blind, they used their hands to feel him to understand his features. Each person touched a different part of him. Only being able to become acquainted with a small part of the teacher, they each concluded different things about his nature and traits. Each person was so self-assured about his or her limited perception of the teacher, though, that each presumed to understand the full truth about him.
The teacher was only with the people a short time. Almost as soon as he left, the people began arguing about who and what he was. News of his visit, as well as news of the disagreements about his nature, passed quickly through the community. Each person who had encountered him in person told a different story about his visit and gave a different interpretation of his nature. As the stories spread, the details were slightly changed with each retelling, and each person formed an opinion about the teacher based on which story they had first heard or based on which story made them feel best. None of them acknowledged the teacher's imperfections—they could not idolize an imperfect being.
The people began to divide into groups based on which opinions about the teacher they believed. There was great disagreement between the different groups, and the people spent much time debating the minute details of all aspects of the teacher's superficial nature. Almost all of their opinions were either wrong or misleading because they were taken out of context. The people were so obsessed with validating their faulty perceptions and opinions about the teacher that they ended up ignoring most of his teachings about how to heal their blindness. Each group remembered only small remnants of the teacher's original cure, remnants that were usually ineffectual on their own or which gave only the barest inklings of sight. Some people realized that the cures promised by the different groups didn't work. They became disillusioned, and spent their time attacking the groups and the teacher, rather than seeking out a real cure. They relished every opportunity to point out the mistakes and foibles of the teacher and the leaders of the groups. The members of the community of the blind lived out their lives in unnecessary darkness, clinging to false, misleading, trivial, and petty beliefs about the teacher, rather than searching for a cure to heal themselves.

Screencast: What is the spirit?
This is a screencast called "What is the spirit?" It is based on a talk that I gave at the Phoenix Mormon Stories Conference in February 2012. It discusses the Mormon practice of trying to discover truth by relying on feeling the spirit, and how Mormons' experience with feeling the spirit compares with the experiences of those in other religions.
I have written more on this subject (but with a more general, less Mormon-centric approach) in my book, The Triple Path. See Chapter Five of the book and more specifically, pages 223 through 244. You can download the book for free here (PDF). You can also download the book in EPUB or Amazon Kindle formats here.

The Travelers and the Dry Well
Long ago, two men in a far-off desert land were traveling on foot down an empty road through desolate country. They had drunk the last of their water. Feeling thirsty and nearing one of the infrequent wells along the route, they stopped to refill their waterskins and to refresh themselves. When they dipped the bucket into the well, though, it came up dry. They tried again, and again it came up dry.
The first traveler, a wise, practical man, decided to set off again on his journey to search for a well further along the road with water in it. The second traveler, a fool, disagreed. He said to the wise traveler, "you fool—you do not know how long it will be until you reach the next well. You do not know if that well will be dry too. I will stay here instead and keep trying to draw water from this well."
The wise traveler replied, "you are right, I do not know how far it is to the next well, and I do not know whether it will have water. But I do know that this well is empty, and it would be foolish to continue seeking water from a dry well. If I wish to complete my journey, I must seek water where it can be found, not where it is convenient for me to look for it." Moved with compassion for his foolish friend, though, he added, "If I do find water, I will try to bring some to back to you." And with that, he got up and left.
The foolish traveler remained, dipping the bucket again and again into the dry well. It always came up empty. By the time the wise traveler returned with water, it was too late. The foolish traveler had already died, weak and thirsty, full of regret for his foolish choice.

The Pelican and the Fisherman
A poor fisherman would go out to sea each day to catch what he could to support his family. A lazy pelican that lived nearby hated the effort of flying over the water, searching for fish, and diving to catch them. One day, it was flying over the poor fisherman's boat, and saw his catch of fish for the day—a small pile—stacked up in his boat. Sensing an opportunity for an easy meal, the pelican dived down and stole a fish out of the pile. The fisherman shooed the pelican away. The pelican flew up into the air, waited until the fisherman was not looking, and then dived down again to steal another fish. Over and over again, the pelican stole more and more of the fish. The fisherman's catch had been meager to begin with, and the pelican's thefts depleted so much of it that the fisherman did not have enough to both feed his family and sell fish at the market for money to buy other necessities.
The fisherman kept a lifelike wood carving of a fish in his boat as a sort of good luck charm. He knew that the wooden fish did not really bring luck—that his success really depended mostly on his own hard work—but his father and grandfather had carried the wooden fish with them every day when out to sea, and so he brought it with him to continue the tradition (especially because his aged father lived at the fisherman's house with his family, and seeing his son carry on the tradition brought him comfort). Seeking solace, the fisherman picked up his wooden fish and despaired the meager remnants of his catch following the pelican's thefts. The fisherman then set down the wooden fish and started to row to shore.
The pelican, still circling overhead, saw the wooden fish. The fish looked real to the pelican and it was larger than the rest. Greedily, he swooped down, plucked it up, and swallowed it. As he tried to fly back up into the air, the fish caught in his throat, and the pelican fell back down to the water's surface, struggling to get the fish out. He expended much effort trying—far more than he would have spent just working to find and catch his own fish. He had swallowed the wooden fish so enthusiastically, though, that it was firmly lodged in his throat. No matter what he did, he could not get it out. The pelican flailed around on the surface of the ocean, and soon choked to death. The fisherman used his net to catch the pelican, and rowed in to shore—with his wooden fish (retrieved from the pelican's throat), a small pile of fish to sell, and a pelican for his family to eat for dinner.
When he entered his home with the dead pelican, the man's father smiled knowingly and asked one question, "the wooden fish?" The fisherman nodded.
The pelican died because it failed to learn the simple lesson that each must work for his own sustenance, rather than living off the labors of others. The fisherman and his family did not go hungry that night because the fisherman had learned to value tradition, even though he could not initially recognize its purpose.

The Prayer Dog and the Eastern Wall
A spiritual teacher would meet with others for prayers at his home once a week. His dog, though, would always cause a commotion and distract them from their prayers. The teacher thus began tying up his dog outside each week at the start of their meeting, and would then release the dog after they had finished their prayers. The teacher eventually died, but a spiritual community had grown around his teachings, and they continued to meet and pray together weekly at his house. Every week, they would tie up the dog before prayers and then release him afterward. Eventually the dog also died. As a way of remembering the quirks of their beloved teacher, the community adopted a new dog to tie up before their prayers and release at their completion. After many years had passed, the original reason for this practice—to remove distractions from their prayers—was eventually forgotten, and also it was forgotten that the second dog had been adopted in remembrance of their teacher. The practice became a tradition, though, and continued through the years as a part of the community's weekly prayer ritual.
Many decades later, after all who had known the teacher had died, some members of the community began to question the need for tying up the dog, and whether it served any real purpose. The community's leaders were horrified to hear such talk, and considered this questioning to be blasphemy. The learned members of the community took for granted the necessity of their ritual of tying up the dog. In response to the questioning, they offered long discourses and wrote complicated treatises, justifying the importance of their dog-tying ritual and its spiritual symbolism.
The questioners eventually left the community and started a new one with no dogs. They would meet in a building with a noisy street to the east. Eventually, they filled in the windows and doors on the east of their building to block out the sound and create greater peace and serenity during their meetings. When that building grew too old and fell into disrepair, they tore it down and built a new one with no windows or doors on the east. Many decades later, they moved to a new location surrounded by quiet peaceful streets. So much time had passed that the original members of the communiy had died. The remaining members did not know the purpose of having no windows and doors on the east. It felt improper and irreverent to most of them, though, to construct a new building that was not faithful to their previous one, so they built it with no windows and doors to the east.
Some members of the community began to question this decision. The leaders saw this questioning as blasphemy, and their learned members offered long discourses and wrote complicated treatises explaining the spiritual symbolism of this practice. . . .

One day a hardened and greedy man was walking through the forest when a poisonous spider bit him. He fell to the ground, unconscious and dreaming. He felt as if transported to hell. He saw a banquet room, with an endlessly long table piled high with delicious foods. The people sitting at the table, however, groaned in misery. Their arms were tied with splints so that they could not bend their elbows, and they thus could not lift food to their mouths. Worse still, they were tied to their chairs and the food was piled in the middle of the table, so they could not bend forward to eat with their mouths. They would try over and over to feed themselves by picking up food, throwing it into the air, and catching whatever they could in their mouths. Without being able to bend their arms, though, their throws were clumsy, and most of the food landed elsewhere. The banquet hall was a chaotic mess, with food flying in the air and food spilled and rotting all over the ground and the diners. The hall was filled with the diners' moans of hunger and angry shouts at one another.
The man was suddenly carried away into heaven. He was puzzled, though, for heaven was set up identically to hell. Once again, there was an endlessly long banquet table, with guests tied to their chairs, their arms tied to splints. But here, the banquet room was clean. The only sounds were the sounds of happy conversation between the guests. One thing caused this marked difference: in heaven, since it was not possible to feed oneself, each person would pick up food and feed it to that person's neighbors. Invariably, the person receiving food would thank the one feeding, and then offer food back to that person in return.
The man found himself again back in hell. Puzzled that those in hell had not figured out how to feed each other, the man approached the nearest suffering diner, leaned down and whispered, "You fool! There is no need for you to go hungry. Feed one of your neighbors, and certainly he will return your kindness and feed you.
"You expect me to feed him?" the diner said, looking with disapproval at his neighbor. "I'd rather starve than give him the satisfaction of eating!"
The man returned to himself, laying on the ground in the forest, but he soon everything faded again and he found himself in a hell nearly identical to that of his first dream, except that now there was no ceiling to the room. Far off in the distance, he could see heaven up above him. He now believed he was truly dead, in hell. Somehow a thread from a spider web hung down from heaven, extending all the way to him in hell. He figured that the thread must be compensation to him for his untimely death from the spider's bite.
The man had not yet been strapped to a chair. Not wanting to spend eternity in hunger with such selfish companions, he began climbing the thread, eager to reach the banquets of heaven.
The climb out of hell is a long one, and the man eventually grew tired. He stopped halfway up the thread to rest. He saw how far he had come, and laughed lightheartedly as he realized that he might escape. To his dismay, however, he saw others climbing up after him. They were also new arrivals to hell who had not yet been tied down and had seen him escaping. They had begun climbing to escape as well. Fearing that the thread may break from the weight of so many other climbers, he shouted down to the others, demanding that they get off the thread, that it was his and his alone. At that moment, the thread broke. The man fell down into hell, and was strapped into a chair for all eternity. His table companions were those who had also been climbing the thread. He was so angry with them for breaking the thread that he refused to feed them.
With regret he called out to heaven, "please warn those who are still living—I did not learn, but if I had seen what I see now, I would have learned."
A voice replied, "you did see when you were still living, unconscious on the forest floor, and many times before that, yet you never learned. Even now, you still refuse to learn. The living have teachers enough. Those with ears to hear and hearts that feel have what they need to learn and do to become worthy of heaven. Those without ears to hear and hearts that feel will never learn, no matter how many times they are taught, unless they choose to open their ears and hearts." With that, the man's dream ended and he died from the effects of the spider bite.
Now, to you reading this story, this man likely seems foolish and selfish. But, it is easy to see the foolishness and selfishness of others, to correct them and offer advice. It is much harder to see your own foolishness and selfishness. Focus on shedding your own foolishness and selfishness, and you will build heaven around you.

Brisbane Lions coach Michael Voss praised his side's toughness
- From: Herald Sun
- May 18, 2013
BRISBANE Lions coach Michael Voss has lauded his side's renewed toughness after a win over Essendon that eased the pressure on the club great.
The Lions hit the Bombers in a ferocious opening quarter at Etihad Stadium and then refused to wilt in a match that featured 18 lead changes, seizing a memorable victory by 10 points.
Justin Clarke and Daniel Merrett will likely come under video scrutiny after a fiery opening in which Michael Hurley was subbed out with concussion. But Voss made no apologies after the final siren.
Staker through the Dons' heart
"I thought it was the toughest we've played for a long period," Voss said.
"When you have those, you always have borderline contests, but that's the game and that's how physical you've got to play. You've got to test those boundaries sometimes, so the guys certainly put their bodies on the line in the first quarter and they set it up for the rest of the match.
"We didn't focus on too much during the week, apart from getting our starts right, and to do that you've got to be able to bring a physical presence."
The win couldn't have come at a better time, with the Herald Sun revealing the Lions' administration had given Voss two months to save his job after a disastrous start to the season.
"My focus has not changed, the board's focus has not changed and we'll continue to do it until I'm told otherwise," Voss said last night. "I believe in our guys and we've got a good group coming through and they're capable of moments like that."
Voss said he was excited for the players.
"But we've got to put it into context - it's a great win, but it's one win and we've got a whole season to unfold," he said.
Best afield Dayne Zorko said he and his teammates had never stopped playing for their coach.
"Vossy's game plan is Vossy's game plan and we back that in 100 per cent and try to execute every week," Zorko said.
The Lions dominated the tackle count 73-46 and, despite conceding a whopping 22 more inside 50s to Essendon, they battled and scrapped with a hunger not seen since the NAB Cup triumph.
"We did lose our mojo and we've been steadily getting that back," Voss said
He made special mention of knee victim Brent Staker, who marked his first game in 18 months with the match-winning goal from the boundary line with the clock ticking down.
"What a story, hey? Brent Staker coming back and playing the way he did and being able to sink that goal," he said.
A disappointed Essendon coach James Hird said he felt his side's lacklustre performance was reflective of its preparation.
"I've said all year we've played the way we've trained and I thought our training on Thursday was pretty disappointing and we went into the game with that sort of intensity," Hird said.
"Today wasn't a great day, but we'll move on with next week."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer My Cat Like many other reviewers, my cat chewed through the cord. I was disappointed that I could not get this part in a local store but the cost and overall experience in ordering online was very good. Plugged in the adaptor and everything was perfect. Now to keep the cat away from this one! April 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer My cats keep chewing on my power cords so I needed so get a few extra. These are perfect! February 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DC Just what the doctor ordered The wife told me not to plug the phone in where I did and of course I didn't listen to her like I should have. I only had the phone for two or three days when I noticed one of the remote handsets had a message on it stating there was no power at the phone base unit. Sure enough, one of my cats chewed the power cord in half. I ordered a new power supply that day and a couple of days later the new one was here. I connected the new power supply to the phone base and DID NOT plug it into the same receptacle. Phones work fine. February 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by birdbrain Easy to order this part! My cats bit through 2 of these! But they were east to replace here! If you own cats? Plastic tubing at the hardware store slit laterally will protect these tiny cords in the future. That's what we did! January 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by rmf What was Panasonic thinking!? I ordered a Panasonic KX-TGE270 telephone system. Guess what! It didn't come with a power supply! So, I had to order that separately. When it finally arrived, the system worked flawlessly. The question is: why would a customer have to order (at our own expense) for something that should have been part of the original package? January 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barb cord for phone My cat keeps chewing on these cords, I need some kind of cover for them as she must do this when she gets either frustrated or nervous. I bought 2 this time as I have 4 phone system and she won't let me know which one she will pick on lol November 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buck-I Saved us $$ I few years ago we purchased 4 cordless Panasonic phones which we loved! We had a power surge at the house recently and two of our four phones stopped working after that. My husband thought the adapters had been blown for those two phones so we thought for a minimal cost we'd order two adapters and see what happens. They arrived, we plugged the adapters in and they immediately started charging the two phones! Now all of our phones are working and we didn't have to go to the expense of replacing them! So glad we could purchase these accessories! October 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Support Help The support woman who helped me was so patient and polite. I could not have ordered this without her. Thank You. August 17, 2015

Fair Haven man denies sex chargeMay 07,2013Fair Haven man denies sex charge
A Fair Haven man already facing criminal sex offense charges pleaded innocent Monday to three additional charges alleging sexual acts involving an 11-year-old girl.
According to court records, Brandon Ellis, 18, answered to two felony charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and one felony charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in jail.
In an affidavit, Vermont State Police Detective Michael Notte wrote that investigators with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, received a report from a 13-year-old female who said when she was 11, Ellis exposed himself, wanted her to touch. The girl told police she did not say anything before because her family trusted Ellis and did not want to ruin it.
Ellis was arrested in April. At the time of his arrest, Ellis was out on court-ordered conditions of release pending sex charges including sexual assault and lewd and lascivious conduct that police said occurred at the same time as the new charges.
On Monday, Ellis was again released on conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

Camenker: Gay Rights will 'Fall' like Nazism, Slavery and Segregation
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 10/16/2012 12:00 pm
Brian Camenker of MassResistance spoke to Sandy Rios of the American Family Association yesterday to promote his anti-gay group's "What same-sex 'marriage' has done to Massachusetts" booklet. Rios insisted that marriage equality advocates have "had to do tricks, they've had to threaten, they've had to cajole" in order to legalize same-sex marriage, and Camenker said that "the whole gay marriage thing and the whole homosexual issue is artificially held up through threats and propaganda." In fact, Camenker said that the gay rights movement will inevitably "fall" like a "house of cards" just like Nazism, slavery, segregation and Communism.
Rios: This is an area on which really still most people in Western civilization when asked do not embrace homosexual marriage. State after state has rejected it, and even in liberal New York and even in liberal California they've had to force it through in other ways, they've had to do tricks, they've had to threaten, they've had to cajole, it's just an amazing thing. Brian I don't know if it was you who wrote this, maybe it's you who wrote this, that this whole wave of homosexual rights in every way—whether its marriage or workplace or whatever—you feel I believe you wrote that this is a phase, this is not something that is here to stay, this is like a fad, like a moment in history that cannot last. Are you the one that wrote that?
Camenker: I've written that a few times, yes, and I believe it very, very strongly. There have been times in our history when very strange things have happened and then disappeared and people thought that it would never happen. We think of the rise of Nazism in Germany and Europe, people thought that would never disappear and never change; people thought slavery would never change; I lived in the South as a young guy and nobody thought that segregation would ever end; we all remember that nobody thought that the Soviet Union and all of that would ever fall. I believe that the whole gay marriage thing and the whole homosexual issue is artificially held up through threats and propaganda and everything else. As soon as that doesn't continue the whole things is a house of cards and will fall. People do not naturally support this. Everybody is looking with doom and gloom and everything but I believe that it is all going to fall at a certain point.

The owner lives on-site. The park is very clean. It's in a commercial area and is old but meticulous. The owner met us and helped us park.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
They have a very nice indoor pool, old but well maintained. The park is older but easy to get around in a big rig. Office people are always nice. 2 dog limit. Highway access is a little difficult as it is under construction but not bad. We stay here every time we drive through.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
Post office right across the street. Safeway right next door. A lot of full timers or seasonal, but very clean, well maintained, right off the highway. We would stay here again. Big rig friendly sites are long enough for 40' and trailer.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
This is the nicest KOA park we've stayed in. Little to no trees for shade but very clean. Beautiful pool, hot tub. Exercise room. Dog run. Lazydays RV is right next door. Decent RV store, don't stock much but willing to order. Lazydays RV service is very slow they do not keep their promises and bumped us for service we had scheduled three weeks in advance to service a unit they just sold.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
Passport America rate. Awesome park, great for big rigs. Beautiful outbuildings, nice staff. We plan on staying here whenever we drive through this way.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We love this park. They are located right on the bike or running trail in North Salt Lake. It is a new park so the trees are small. The pool is very seasonal and quite small. The office staff is very friendly. The gate going in and out is large and easy to use.

Apparatently, eating "real food" is starting to become more natural to me. This morning, when my breakfast was delivered to my table at a restaurant in the Denver airport, I snapped this picture because after looking at the meal, I realized it was very close to "real food" and I really hadn't thought too much about it when I placed the order.
If the bagel was whole wheat, this would be a completely "real food" breakfast. It's smoked salmon, capers, bagels, tomato and cucumber slides, thin slices of red onion and some capers. And, it was delicious. Next time, I'll remember to ask about a whole wheat bagel.

Stonewall woman receives award for bravery in dog pack attack
STONEWALL — Daniel Murray was on the home stretch of his eight-mile morning run recently when a pack of angry dogs descended upon him and began chomping at his legs.
Murray said he would have been killed if he hadn't managed to jump on top of a car and ride out of danger when a passing motorist came to his rescue.
Murray, 47, is an avid runner. Every morning he runs eight miles as part of his marathon training. On July 8, he set out before the sun was up, pacing his strides along the side of the old highway that led out of his hometown into the country. He was on the last section back with only a half mile to go when the dogs made their first strike.
"They were coming at me like hungry piranhas, and I was dinner," Murray said. "The harder I fought the more aggressive they got."
Murray tried to ward them off with a small pocket knife, but the six dogs — ranging from medium to large — kept coming at him with all their weight behind their snapping, sharp teeth. He said the canines had him surrounded. Although blood oozed from the numerous wounds the dogs had made in his calves and thighs, Murray continued plugging along, covering five blocks while the dogs repeatedly lunged at him.
"I think once they smelled blood that was it," he said. "I was sure if they knocked me down, I was a goner."
At the time of the attack, Jennifer Sweet, 28, of Stonewall, was on her way home from dropping off her husband at work. Her toddler was in the back seat of the car when she drove up on the horrific scene — a man covered in blood surrounded by a pack of animals acting more like hungry wolves than domestic pets.
She honked her horn — again, and again, and again. The dogs weren't spooked and stayed focused on their prey as Sweet followed.
"I knew I was really in trouble when I saw the horrified look on her face," Murray said. "She kept screaming 'what should I do,' but I didn't know either."
Murray said he knew the dogs would turn on Sweet if she tried to get out of the car to help him. He was afraid to get in the car, because he might not be quick enough to keep the snapping dogs out.
Finally, he climbed on top of the hood and they drove away, leaving the barking, growling dogs standing in the roadway.
Sweet awarded
Stonewall Police Chief Jason Teel said Sweet was honored with the police department's first citizen's award for her bravery and willingness to come to the aid of another.
Teel said the dogs were rounded up and have been quarantined to ensure they weren't infected with rabies. He said dog attacks are rare in his town, but outside city limits there is no animal control and dogs often roam freely.
"We felt like we needed to do something special to honor her," Teel said. "It's not every day an average person steps up to do something heroic, especially when it puts their own well-being in danger."
Teel said the dogs' owner agreed to pay Murray's medical expenses, and the costs of boarding the dogs and putting them to death.
Teel said Murray was fortunate Sweet came along. If he had fallen during the attack, his injuries could have been far worse. Murray said the dogs bit him seven times on his left leg alone.
Teel suggests runners arm themselves with spray device like mace or pepper spray, similar to what police use to subdue criminals.
