Back on Course
Thursday, June 05, 2014
for 2 days now!
I went to my Weight Watcher's weigh in and meeting last night and it wasn't too bad. I only gained .8. I know most of the reason for that is the mega water I drink and the fact that I was pretty active (even though my eating was way out of whack!).
Since I've basically not been tracking anything, I decided to switch over to the Simply Filling plan with WW. I like the "food list" (it kind of reminds me of the South Beach options, but with fruit!) and you have weekly points if you eat anything not on the list. It's easy to keep up with and I like pretty much everything on the list.
I'm also challenging myself to "no sweets" this week and I'm 2 days strong - no sweets or chips/crackers!
Last night's meeting was a little humbling and motivating. My sister and I got our "16 week Charm". I felt a little embarrassed, because in this 16 week period, I've only managed to loose 4.2 lbs. (I was up to 6 lbs. at one point). I also remembered the WW days of old (a couple of years ago) where I was consistently loosing and in the 6 months it took me to get to goal, I never had a gain!
The motivating part was the actual meeting. The leader is very good (funny & motivating). I think I mentioned before she has lost over 200 lbs. on WW and has kept it off for over 12 years (she's been on Today show, People mag. etc.).
The topic of the meeting was "Summer Strategies" and we discussed ways to meet the challenge of summer, i.e. vacations, weddings, kids being around, etc. (which is what I had last week and didn't do too well!).
There is also an "Ace Your Summer Challenge" which starts next week and goes for 12 weeks. Without going into details, my sister and I decided our "goal" for this challenge would be GOAL (me back to my goal weight and her to finally reach it). We both have about 10 lbs. to loose which is very doable for 12 weeks (but not based on our past 16 weeks results!).
So we are motivated! We went on our strenuous hike after the meeting. It's 3.8 miles and parts of it are very hard (steep hills and the end actually has about 20 steps straight up a hill). It was extra hard last night. I think part of it was the heat and humidity. Most of the trail is wooded, so it's a pretty nice hike for a summer evening.
I was going to do my Coach Nicole DVD this morning, but I don't quite have my "summer morning routine" down yet and forgot to reset the alarm. I'm actually finding myself rushing in the mornings and I think it's because most of my time now is spent making my breakfast/lunch and feeding/walking the dogs. In the past I would have more time in the summer because my girls were out of school, but apparently they don't take as much of my time as the dogs do now!
Anyway, I need to work the DVD in a couple of mornings, so I guess I can't sleep as late.
I actually just got an e-mail for a Virtual Race Series where basically "run Your Race - on a treadmill, in a park, in the city, in the morning, in the evening...basically anywhere and anytime you choose during the race period. Once your race starts, your clock runs until you complete your goal of 3.1 or 13.1 miles!" You actually get "swag" when you complete it. It's the week of July 19 - 27, which gives me some time to at least "train" a little. I've been wanting to get back into some running and this could be motivation for that. I'll have to read a little more about it, but it sounds fun. Maybe I'll get my family involved too!
So I have some motivation and challenges. Hopefully I can keep this going through the hot (and busy) days of Summer!
2 of my 3 girls get back home tonight. DD#2 will start her insane summer work-out schedule with volleyball and basketball. She actually already started with basketball last week and is at team camp this week. The next 2 weeks of June will be both basketball & volleyball and then she has 2 weeks off from volleyball and the week of June 30 - July 4 is a "dead week" for all High School sports in Georgia (we will be going to Florida that week). July will be all volleyball with practices, team camp and a couple of tournaments. The tryouts are August 1st and then the season starts right after that!
DD#3 has a back to back Vacation Bible School and Girl Scout Camp (away camp!), so DH and I will be busy trying to set up a driving schedule. DD#2 can't drive until mid-July and DD#1 won't be back from Arizona until June 10th, but she'll be able to help with some of the driving then.
So I'm back on course, I just need to stay there!

After having only relatively recently been discovered, the saola is now the focus of scientific attention for another reason, for being in grave danger of extinction. The species only has a small range where it is increasingly threatened by hunting and habitat loss (1). Snare-traps and hunting dogs are used to capture the saola, whose meat is sold in affluent urban centres. In the past, hunters have also tried to capture live saola because of intense interest from the world's scientific community (3). Sadly, all of the 13 known saola captured and held in captivity to date were badly kept and with the exception of two, which were released back into the wild, died within five months (2) (7). Habitat destruction poses another threat, with forests being fragmented by infrastructure development and shifting cultivation (2) (7). In Lao, the threat of hunting is exacerbated by the creation of logging roads, which fragment the remaining forest patches and make these animals more accessible to hunters (1) (2). In particular, the new Ho Chi Minh Road is a cause for considerable concern, since it slices through the length of the species' range in Vietnam and has feeder roads branching into Lao People's Democratic Republic (1).

How do I calculate the maximum policy value?
This is the total value of all bikes and spares at home including multiple bikes that you own. Spares should only include components that normally form part of the bike and are not included in the Accessories & Spares or Clothing & Headgear lists. These normally include spare wheels, spare forks, saddles, handlebars, chainsets, workshop tools and workstands.
What is the total value away from the home?
This is the total value of bikes and equipment that you take away from the home at any one time. If you have 4 bikes but only take one out at a time then it'll be the value of your most expensive bike including any spares such as wheels.
If you have a partner or family members who cycle then you may need to add up the total value of all the cycles and kit that goes out at any one time.
When calculating the values don't forget that we we include £250 or 10% (whichever is the greater) of your total sum insured for each of accessories & spares, clothing & headgear and bike boxes.
I've got a second set of expensive race wheels - are these covered?
They can be easily covered under your Bikmo Policy. Your 'Maximum Bike Value Away From Home' can be increased to cover a second set of wheels or, depending on the value of your wheels, they may be covered under the accessories and spares cover.
You have cover for £250 or 10% of your total sum insured for accessories and spares, which could be used for a second set of wheels. For example, if your total sum insured is £5,000, then you have £500 of cover for accessories and spares.
I ride trail centres in the UK - am I covered if I damage my bike whilst riding the trails?
Yes - trail centres are a large part of mountain biking in the UK and we wouldn't exclude places that a lot of us ride. Your cover includes accidental damage to your bike(s), personal injury and third party liability. For full details of your cover, please refer to the Main Benefits page.
I have a bespoke bike with non standard components - can I insure my bike?
Yes - you can insure your bike irrespective of brand, model or upgrades. You need to decide on a value against which to insure and that's the value you'll pay your premium on.
If you have a classic or bespoke bike then we may ask for a specialist bike shop to confirm the value of your bike before approving a claim. If you're unsure as to the value of your bike, your local independent bike shop should be able to help.
What lock do I need for my bike?
You'll need a lock if you leave your bike in a public place and it's dependent on the value of the bike as to what lock rating you'll need. Check out our Lock Requirements in the Locks & Security section/tab for further details.
What does the bike need to be locked to in the house, garage or shed?
If the bike is in a locked house, garage, outbuilding, wooden or metal shed which is within the boundaries of your private residence, it does not need to be locked.
However, when away from home, if left unattended, the cycle must be locked, through the frame, to an immovable object using an approved lock. You are covered for a maximum of 24 hours including if locked at a train station.
What accessories & spares are covered under my policy?
As standard, you get £250 or 10% of the total sum insured to cover accessories & spares that are stolen or damaged at the same time as your bike, which include lights, panniers and GPS units (excluding smartphones). For a full list of what accessories & spares are covered, please visit the Accessories & Spares section in Product Definitions.
Are my clothes, shoes and helmet covered under my policy?
As standard, you get £250 or 10% of the total sum insured to cover clothing and headgear that are stolen or damaged at the same time as your bike. For a full list of what is covered under clothing and headgear, please visit the Clothing & Headgear section in Product Definitions
Can I use a local shop to replace or repair my bicycle?
This is possible, subject to agreement with Hiscox. You have two options with any claims - the first is to replace yourself or have repaired at a local shop, provided the costs are reasonable. This option is subject to an excess. For a replacement, you may elect to have the policy replacement undertaken by Bikmo.com - they'll source a replacement bike from a local retailer and you won't have to pay any excess provided it is a cycle claim above £1,000.
What do I need for proof of ownership?
It's particularly important that you have proof of ownership of any major cycle parts and/or lock. Proof of this could be packaging, manuals or photos of all of the relevant parts, clearly showing the make (and model if applicable) of that item.
Alternatively bank or credit card statements can be provided and in some occasions, retailers may be able to provide copy receipts for larger purchases.
To save you having to look back through old documents in the event of a claim, you can upload any photos or receipts to Your Account section of Bikmo Plus.
What do I do if I don't have receipt for my lock?
Please refer to the FAQ above - the receipts for locks are treated in the same way as for bicycles.
Can I make changes to my policy?
Yes. You can make changes to the value insured, contact details, bikes and equipment in Your Account section of Bikmo Plus. Any changes to the policy may be subject to a change in the price of the policy.
What if I want to cancel my policy?
We're confident that Bikmo Plus represents the most comprehensive and best value cycle insurance product on the market so we hope you're happy with it. If you do however wish to cancel your policy for any reason then you need to take the following steps;
You can cancel your policy within the first 14 days for any reason and receive a full refund of premiums paid.
Contact Bikmo Plus on 01244 470337.
What is public liability cover?
Public Liability is also known as personal liability or third party liability. It provides cover for claims brought against you by other parties for bodily injury or property damage as a direct result of your ownership or use of the cycle.
New for Old
Bikes can be priceless. You're covered for a replacement provided your sum insured is sufficient to cover the cost of a replacement bike at today's prices. There is no time limit on the age of bikes that can be insured.
Race Fee Cover
Race fees can be expensive whether you're competing in road, MTB or tri. With Bikmo Plus, you can claim up to £500 of race fees lost as a results of theft or an incident with your bicycle.
Excess Free
Don't like paying an excess on claims? We can replace your bike from a local retailer and won't charge you any excess. This is limited to cycle claims above £1,000 - all other claims are subject to a £100 excess.
Family & Friends
If your friend or family need to borrow a bike for the weekend then they'll still be covered under your insurance, to the value of the maximum equipment away from home. This only applies to bikes and kit, not personal accident or third party liability
Breakdown Cover
It happens to all of us. If you're on a ride and can't make it back to your car or home as a results of an issue with your bike then we'll pay for transport back to your car, home or the nearest transport link up to the value of £150.
We know you can't ride all your bikes at once and taking out a policy on each of your bikes could be prohibitive. That's why we can offer up to a 50% discount for the bikes you leave at your house.
Competition Cover
Compete regularly on the road, MTB or tri? You, your bikes and kit are covered before and after the start line in competition as long as your annual competition appearance fees don't exceed £5,000. That's most of us then.
Worldwide Travel
Travel regularly with your bike for competitions or holidays? You can travel worry free with Bikmo+. You're covered year round for your equipment, anywhere in the world, whether in competitions, on a ride or during transportation.
No Claims Discount
We like to reward customers who look after their bikes. Stay with Bikmo Plus and you can earn up to 15% no claims discount, making our policy more unbeatable.
0% monthly payments
Pay for 12 months upfront and forget about it, or split the payments over 12 months, with 0% interest. There'll be an initial payment followed by rolling monthly payments. You're covered for as long as you pay your monthly installments and you won't pay any interest. Simple.
£2m Public Liability
Rest assured you're covered for any damage or injury caused to third parties up to the value of £2 million when cycling anywhere in the world, excluding the USA and Canada.
Theft, accidental & vandalism
Whether your bike is stolen, vandalised or you damage it whilst riding on the roads or trails, you're covered. Restrictions apply to locking requirements when your bike is left in a public place.
£20k Personal Accident
You have Personal Accident cover up to the value of £20,000, anywhere in the world, for serious injuries sustained from riding your bike.
Spares, Clothing & Bike Boxes
We know the value of the kit you ride or travel with, in addition to the value of your bikes. Whether it's lights, GPS, posh bib shorts, full face helmets or bike boxes, they can cost a lot to replace in the event they're damaged or stolen.
We include £250 or 10% (whichever is the greater) of your total sum insured for each of accessories & spares, clothing & headgear and bike boxes that are stolen or damaged at the same time as your bike.
For a full definition of the additional equipment included in your policy, please refer to the Product Definitions section.
Bikmo DNA+ Pack
To help you protect your bike, deter thieves and prove bike ownership in the event of theft, we're providing a Bikmo DNA+ kit worth £30 with every Bikmo Plus policy.
Emergency Hire
Bike lost or damaged in transit on the way to an event you've been building up to for months? You'll be covered for a replacement bike and equipment to help you compete. Our partners at Bikmo can even help you source a replacement from a worldwide network of bike rental companies.
Free Legal Advice
We all need it sometimes. If you're involved in an incident whether at fault or not then you can contact our partners at Bikmo who have arranged for Bikmo Plus policyholders to take advantage of free advice from Poole Alcock Solicitors.

SiS tweaks chipset roadmap, AMD platform gets priority
By - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) recently made a few changes in its chipset roadmap, adjusting its business plans to market realities, the company said. According to SiS, the company has separated the SiS671 and SiS771 northbridges, which respectively target the Intel and AMD desktop platforms, from each other by timeframes.
SiS previously planned to make both chipsets available in samples in August, and volume production was scheduled to start in October. Now, the company pushed the SiS771 chip schedule forward, with sample availability scheduled for July. Its volume production, as planned, will start in October, SiS said.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Early versus Non-Early Intervention in Acute Migraine Based on Evidence from the 'Act When Mild' Study
Slof, John, Applied Health Economics and Health Policy
Key points for decision makers
* Although its acute nature needs to be kept in mind when comparing it with other diseases, migraine is one of the most prevalent and disabling neurological disorders worldwide
* In spite of the important progress in the abortive treatment of acute migraine episodes since the appearance of triptans, in many cases reduction of pain and associated symptoms is still not as effective nor as fast as would be desirable
* Recently, early triptan treatment when pain is still mild has been found more efficacious than the usual strategy of waiting for the attack to develop to a higher pain intensity level
* The present cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis suggests that early treatment is also the preferred strategy from an economic perspective
Migraine is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders worldwide. The WHO estimated that in 2004 there were over 324 million migraine sufferers across the world.[1] Its prevalence in the US and Europe is estimated to be 18% in women and 6% in men;[2] therefore, around 37 million US inhabitants and 60 million EU inhabitants suffer from migraine.
Individuals with migraine experience substantial pain and disability during migraine headaches. The WHO ranks migraine as one of the most disabling diseases (disability class VII on a scale of I to VII) and, even though it does not reduce life expectancy, it is included in the same class as active psychosis, quadriplegia and terminal-stage cancer.[1] Despite the disabling nature of this disorder, 50-60% of migraineurs remain undiagnosed.[2,3]
The financial burden of migraine on society comprises direct costs associated with medical care and indirect costs caused by absence from work and reduced productivity.[4] With a total cost of [euro]27 billion in 2005, it has been estimated to be the most costly neurological disorder in Europe.[5] Conservative estimates for the burden of migraine in the US range between $US14 and $US20 billion per year.[4] In many studies that analyse the burden of migraine, indirect costs have been found to be far greater than the direct costs of care, accounting for over 90% of the total costs.[4-9]
The main objectives of acute migraine therapy are to reduce/eliminate pain and associated symptoms, to prevent recurrence of the attack and to rapidly restore the patient to normal functioning with minimal or no adverse effects.[10] Triptans (serotonin, 5-HT1B/1D agonists) are highly effective and well tolerated agents for the abortive treatment of acute episodes,[11,12] and current guidelines recommend their use, particularly in patients who reported that NSAIDs were not effective in past attacks.[13] However, reduction of pain and associated symptoms is in many cases still not as effective and rapid as would be desirable.
The triptan clinical trial programmes used a substantially uniform approach that typically involved asking patients to wait for the development of moderate or severe pain prior to treating an attack, and this approach to timing has been used as a standard for treatment of acute migraine in clinical practice.[14] Essentially, the rationale for this approach is that fully developed attacks are more easily distinguished from other types of headaches.[15] While justified in the context of a clinical trial, waiting for the development of moderate or severe pain prior to treating an attack is not necessarily the ideal strategy in clinical practice. On the contrary, in retrospective analyses,[16] observational studies[17-19] and clinical trials,[20-27] early treatment when pain is still mild has been recognized to provide superior outcomes. Consequently, it is now increasingly advocated that patients treat their migraine attacks when pain is still mild.[28,29]
Migraine attacks typically evolve, with differing speeds, from mild pain to moderate/severe pain, followed by stabilization and then finally resolution, unless treated with medications to shorten the duration of the episode and/or to avoid pain reaching high levels. …

Fontana — Sometimes, traditions come to an end.
After more than 20 years of hosting the Lake Geneva Triathlon in Fontana, it appears the group will move the event to nearby Williams Bay.
On Friday, Fontana Village President Arvid "Pete" Petersen said, "That's terrific."
A couple of weeks ago, he said he would like to keep the event in the village.
Now that the event is gone, Petersen said he won't lose sleep over the change.
"In general, we are happy," Petersen said. "The Public Works Department is rejoicing."
Petersen said the triathlon creates a large work burden for village employees.
He also said the village still will experience the economic stimulus the triathlon brings.
"The Abbey won't sell any more or less rooms if its here or anywhere else on the lake," Petersen said.
Trustee Patrick Kenny, who participated in the triathlon in the past, said he is disappointed the event is moving, but is "happy it is still going to happen in the area."
With little discussion, the Williams Bay Village Board approved a contract Jan. 17 with Frank Dobbs and Lake Geneva Sports LLC to have the Sept. 10 Lake Geneva Triathlon hosted at Edgewater Park, Williams Bay.
Last week, Williams Bay Village Administrator Bob Carlson said he was waiting for Dobbs to sign the contract.
A major part of the agreement is the event organizers have $5 million in insurance and it includes a hold harmless clause for the village in case of accidents.
Petersen said the village of Fontana never had a contract with Lake Geneva Sports and planned on requiring one if the event stayed in the community.
Dobbs gave two reasons for wanting to move the extreme race to Williams Bay.
First, he said, Stateline Road, which is a part of the bike course out of Fontana, is in terrible shape, and he doesn't want to send bicyclists down that road again until it's repaired.
Kenny agreed and said Stateline Road "was the worse."
Second, Dobbs said he wasn't happy with Fontana, which billed his company $12,000 for village services in the 2010 triathlon. Dobbs said that charge seemed excessive.
Kenny also said the change in location likely won't affect how many people participate in the race.
"From a participants point of view it will be fine," Kenny said.
Dobbs told the Williams Bay Village Board he received commitments for parking from the Williams Bay High School, Lions Field House, Gage Marine and Calvary Church. Participants and spectators will be bused to the triathlon site.
Dobbs also promised triathlon workers would pick up every bit of litter from the event.
The Williams Bay Business Association supported Dobbs' request, and the police and fire chiefs said they believed their departments could handle the safety and security for the race.
The triathlon also has private security, which is headed by Chris Severt, the Walworth police chief.
Although not a charitable event, Dobbs said the triathlon spreads about $20,000 through a number of organizations in the Geneva Lake area.
At the website lakegenevasports.com., the following were listed as recipients of donations from Lake Geneva Sports, LLC: Big Foot High School, Elkhorn Boy Scouts, Fontana Community Church, Fontana Dive Team, Geneva Lakes YMCA, Lake Geneva Water Safety Patrol, Linn 4-H, Linn Rescue Dive Team, Sharon Fire and Rescue, SMILES, St. Benedict Catholic Church of Fontana, St. Francis de Sales School of Lake Geneva, Walworth Fontana Rotary, Walworth Immanuel United Church, Williams Bay Dive Team, and the Williams Bay High School Athletic Boosters.

The Pocket Scavenger (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
From the creator of "Wreck This Journal, "an exploration into the creative process and chance...
Within the pages of "The Pocket Scavenger," you ll be instructed to go on an unusual scavenger hunt, collecting a spectrum of random items: something that is miniature, a stain that is green, something from the year you were born, a used envelope, and more. Once your quarry is in hand, you ll apply an alteration dictated solely by chance: create a funny character, make it into a building, conceal it, add polkadots, remove a section, add stripes, scribble on top, fold, turn into an article of clothing, make it pretty, and so on.
The results: you ll be forced out of habitual ways of thinking or acting, discover new connections, and try things you might not have done on your own, creating a version of The Pocket Scavenger that is unique, dependent on time, place, experience, and you.

Although you spend a lot of time on your heli-ski trips with a few guides, there is one guide that you may never ski with. This guide, even though he or she may never ski with your group, has a job that affects you more than you might think.
The snow safety guide plays a huge role in the safety, and smooth running, at each of our heli-ski areas. Mike Welch, area manager of Galena, gave me some insight as to what the snow safety guide might do to make our day out in the mountains better.
Snow Safety- Digging snow pits, checking stability, and explosives control are all part of the snow safety guides day. They might be doing all of the above on runs that are going to be skied later that day, or ensuring more consistent stability for later in the season. Once a run has been deemed safe, the snow safety guide may also check for snow quality. We all know how a thick sun crust can kill a great run, the snow safety guide will relay information back to the lead guide so their group can successfully avoid any poor snow conditions.
Helicopter Safety- We love skiing in deep snow, so what happens if it snows a couple of feet overnight and the landings are no longer accessible? This is where the snow safety guide may quickly become your best friend… They might be out early in the morning digging out landings, replacing landing flags, or clearing brush all so that your pilot can land safely and you can start skiing.
Refueling- When it comes time to refuel, the helicopter will often head to one of our remote fuel caches to avoid the long flight back to the lodge. Generally at the lodge, the helicopter engineer will refuel and avoid the need to turn off the engines, saving you a lot of time. Because our remote fuel caches are so remote, it often becomes the job of the snow safety guide to meet your helicopter at the fuel cache so that refueling happens quickly and efficiently.
Finding the perfect lunch spot- Did you ever wonder how that amazing lunch gets set up in the middle of nowhere? Although the guides may often have an idea of where a good lunch spot would be, the snow safety guide will pinpoint a spot where there is maximum sun, minimal wind, and you aren't sinking up to your chin in snow. Lunch is one time where deep snow isn't optimal conditions!Balancing the groups- What happens when you or someone in your group gets tired and starts slowing down your group? Often, the snow safety guide will be called in so that the faster parts of the group can do a lap while the slower group members take a break or slow down their pace. This keeps everyone skiing, and everyone happy!

During the colonial period in West Africa, European officials and businessmen faced a perennial shortage of labor; their response was to rely on coercion. Despite their rhetoric of "free wage labor," colonial officials thought Africans needed encouragement to understand time and work discipline. Africans continually resisted, making forced labor inefficient and costly. West Africans incorporated the European rhetoric of the abolition of slavery, free wage labor and workers' benefits into their protests against colonial labor practices. By the late 1940s, most forms of forced labor had been abolished.

If you let off the brakes the noise dissappears what could the noise be? I just had the oil changed and the differential fluid changed as well. It wasn't making the noise before. Please help.

Wugong Temple (the Five Officials' Memorial Temple), about five kilometers away from downtown area of Haikou, is a top-notch tourist attraction with historical significance in Haikou. Wogong Temple was built in memory of Li Deyu, a ministerial official of the Tang Dynasty and four other ministers of the Song dynasty: Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Li Guang and Hu Quan.
The 2800-square-meter Wugong Temple is a group of ancient buildings, consisting of Guanjia Hall, Xuepu Hall, East Hall, West Hall, Shugong Temple and Pubo Temple. The Temple complex was first built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty and was revamped during the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1889 AD). It is a two-storied red building, featuring plain tiles and red rafters and columns, and it is credited as the Number One Building of Hainan.
On the east side of the Wugong Temple is the Shugong Temple, which was built as a tribute to Shu Shi, a great poet-statesman of the Song Dynasty. There is a courtyard garden attached to the Shugong Temple, which is laid out with fountain pools, pavilions, and balustrades etc, testifying the life trails left behind by the great poet-statesman.
Left of the Shugong Temple is the Qiongyuan Garden. The Garden covers an area of 10 acres and boasts of attractions such as Fuli Hall, Liquan Pavilion, Xixin alcove… and they were also associated with Shu Shi. The spring water gushing up from the Fuli Fountain is crystal clear and free from any contaminations. The spring water is great for tea and a delight to the palate, thus earning Fuli Fountain the name of ' the Number One Spring water of Hainan.

Troopers say a trucker fell asleep at the wheel and when it was over thousands of pounds of meat and produce were spilled onto Highway 70.
The Highway Patrol say it happened around 2:45 a.m. Monday morning near the Dover exit in Jones County.
Eastbound lanes of the busy highway were shut down for about nine hours.
The Highway Patrol says the trucker will be charged with careless and reckless driving.
The strawberries, meat and potatoes had to be moved to another big rig before the overturned truck could be removed from the highway, allowing the road to reopen around 12:30 p.m.
Previous Story
An accident on US 70 at the Dover exit in the Jones County community of Wyse Fork has blocked all east bound lanes of the highway at this time.
It happened just before 2:45 am Monday morning.
Highway Patrol Troopers say a Tractor Trailer carrying produce fell on its side, spilling the truck's contents on the highway.
We're told there are no injuries, just a mess to clean up. DOT officials say it could be hours before eastbound traffic will reopen.
There are marked detours to follow to get around the scene.

The word of the swine flu is spreading faster than the actual virus, so what have you heard?
Dr. Ramsey is the medical director for the infection control at the Brody School of Medicine.
He spoke with WITN on Monday to clear up some misconceptions about the swine flu virus. Dr. Ramsey says flu shots will not protect you from the virus.
He says people cannot contract the swine flu virus through eating pork. You can only get the virus through human to human contact.
Dr. Ramsey says products like Tamiflu will treat the swine flu.

What better way to go into the weekend than with a photo of tennis star Andy Roddick strutting around shirtless with a retarded look on his face and a visible cock line? See it after the jump. Happy Friday!
!! omg blog !!
cute fail gossip art fashion candy
!! OMG, his bulge: Andy Roddick !!
(Click for more nude male celebs)
..you're weird…
yea u just made my day… lol
I want that!
Ummm, looks kinda intsy, tinsy. Can I upgrade to a LARGER model??
He "adjusts" himself constantly when he's playing…..
I have a friend who loves to watch the waggle of a dick in loose fitting sweats or shorts. I guess it's a personal thing. Worthy of an OMG entry? Not quite sure.
Hope it grows….alot
oh my fucking god. he's so hot. i'll fill his ass cum & then suck his balls out through the eye of his cock. he is one of the most beatiful men on earth. he'll be pretty messed up by the time i've finished with him though. hope his pants fall down on the court one day. oh that will make the world a beatiful place.
you can't judge it when it's soft…
You can also see some really good bulge flapping on the episode of SNL that he hosted.
OMG, The Things I'd Let Him Do To Me
Super Hot (Super Small too, but still Super Hot!)
For gay men, I'm surprised that posters don't know that penises grow when they are played with, and sometimes when they are not being played with they go back into hiding, even the big ones!
omg his so hot i love stroking it to that pic
The people who post comments here are completely obsessed with penis sizes, or just pathetically depraved.
Nice work Tezzy! I couldn't agree more! Andy is gorgeous and I think that we all would have few complaints rolling over in the morning to this hottie!
strap2900, I hope you "grow up" alot! That is a beautiful man.
Hate to disappoint you people, but having been to dozens of Andy's matches and practice sessions, I can tell you that he wear black lycra tights under his tennis shorts at all times. Word of mouth (pun intended) is that he actually does have a very small d**k, but his gonads are the size of large almonds.
wa……… if i get it … i wnt take any food … i vl drnk his cum always in my like………!

I wouldnt recommend it. i ruined a pair of my gloves one time doing it...i usually just fill a bucket with water and soap and hand wash everything and then hose it off and let it dry in the sun
"so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever"
You can put all your gear, minus the helmet obviously, in the wash. Put it on the "delicate" setting though. Don't put them in the dryer, they need to air dry.
Don't wash your gear the day before practice/game because they won't be dry in time.
Be strong when you are weak, be brave when you are scared, be humble when you are victorious, be badass everyday.
you can wash *most* of you gear in the washing machine. its not a good idea with gloves with leather. specifically what gloves did you have in mind?
"What're you rebelling against, Johnny?"
"Whaddya got?"

I have k18s. My palms are kind of hard. Any way to make them softer? Does the washer machine do that?
Dont put k18's in the washer!!!....you will ruin them...try rubbing some kind of lotion into them...i did this with mine before they ripped and now they are palmless
what about defts? will they be ruined?

I've been washing my stuff and drying it for years in machines. I've had Gait Insanitys, MacDaddys, Brine Exodus and Kings and never had ONE issue with my gloves being "torn" or "shredded" apart. I also use whatever soap I have on hand.
You can put almost any glove in the washing machine, and in the dryer.
thnx guys mucho mucho!

Yep just put it on gentle or in a pillow case. I do it to my k 18s and they are fine
Just put your stuff in the tub with a bit of laundry soap and wash, then rinse and hang dry. Been doing that for years with hockey and lax stuff.

In this segment, I would like to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts that have been brought on by advertisements that are trying to prevent the use of tobacco. It seems that the tables have turned. Where we used to see smoking advertisements, we now see the exact opposite with anti-smoking billboards and commercials.
These non-tobacco advertisements are not only out in abundance, but they are powerful as well. Commercials show harsh realities of what happens to smokers. Some display those that are living with holes in their necks, talking about all of the adjustments they have to make in their daily routines. A recent one features a woman who has greatly had her vision affected from smoking, and now must receive routine shots in her eye. They are not by any means easy to watch. These ads are graphic, and that's how they need to be. No longer can we sugar coat it.
These ads have also touched us emotionally as well. I heard one on the radio the other day where a father had to explain to his curious little boy why he had so many doctors' appointments. Dad had developed lung cancer, and was worried that he may not be around for his son much longer. No doubt, this advertisement is effective in tugging on your heart strings. However, what's even more painful to think about is the fact that this is actually happening every day. Sons and daughters are losing their parents to tobacco far too often. Spouses are looking back on their wedding photos, wishing that their significant other had quit smoking before it was too late. The thought process often is, "it will never happen to me or anybody that I know", but with all the data and knowledge we have today, anybody who says that is being naïve.
These efforts to put out advertisements against smoking need to continue. Imagine the effect an advertisement like the ones I talked about can have on a smoker. Sitting in the living room, enjoying the television with your family when suddenly, one of these anti-smoking commercials comes on. The room will suddenly grow tense, perhaps awkward because this ad cannot be ignored. I hope these families get anxious when these ads come on, in my opinion that's a good thing. It needs to be uncomfortable to wake everyone up and to help these families realize that smoking needs to come to an end.
We are nowhere near putting an end to tobacco. However, it really gives me hope now that I am seeing these powerful ads in such large quantities. We are no longer listening to the lies of cigarette companies; instead, we are now fighting back. For once, it seems that the people have finally gained leverage against large tobacco corporations, and these companies have nothing that they can fight back with. We see through all their lies and attempts to get around the inevitable truth. Finally, we are on the attack, and this should not stop until tobacco is put to an end.

Blah about half marathon training.
Monday, April 29, 2013
This is not going to be one of my most inspirational blogs. Today I feel defeated. I really let myself down this weekend and the scale said 204.4 this morning.
I actually ate every meal at home, but I guess I ate too much of it? I had a beer and a big glass of wine on Friday, 3 32 oz beers at a football game on Saturday, and a whole frozen pizza w/ like a cup of cheese added to it (but the pizza itsself was only 750 calories). I also didn't do a long run when I absolutely should have. 10 miles, is what I have to look foreword to tonight- at the GYM because it's raining all week.
So I don't know where 4 pounds came from- I think about 2 may be water weight, but still I believe I will have a gain on my hands come W.I. on Wednesday. Seriously- another one. I really do want to give up right now! Don't worry, I won't. I'll settle for being a grumpy beast all day, not talk to anyone and probably struggle through 10 miles on the hampster wheel at the gym, head home, nom a couple tacos and give Josh the grump face all night.
Today I eat right, and if I need a snack to tide me over I must eat the 2 fruits I have here. Then I get to the gym and even if it takes 3 hours, run 10 miles and burn 1300 calories! Then go home feeling accomplished, eat some tacos and find something to do with myself for the rest of the night. Which will probably involve a hot shower and a bit of reading or netflixing Gossip Girl (almost half way through season 5!)
Then tomorrow I wake up sore as heck and eat even better at work since It will be a rest day. Then take it easy at happy hour with my friend, maybe go for a walk if it's not pouring, and enjoy my pork tenderloin, carrots and baby reds.
Then Wednesday morning perhaps my body will reward me for my efforts.
I also have a 12 mile run on Saturday (or Friday evening if I'm ambitious). Then after that long azz run it will all be downhill from there.
And that makes me a bit more motivated. Only 2.5 weeks until the big day. I know that I will be able to finish, but I hope I will be able to finish in under 2.5 hours. I did 11.5 mi in 2:07 min so that should be a possibility.
As awesome as it sounds to be running so much and beating my goals- there are many things I won't miss about training for a half marathon:
The 2 hour workouts after work
Not eating dinner until 7 p.m.
Chafing on my chest/back from bra and pants rubbing
sore calves
Will be VERY ready to cut my hair
Not NEEDING to work out on the weekends- but choosing to
Worrying about how my eating the day before a run will effect it.
Missing scheduled runs and feeling terribly guilty
Only running as a workout because doing ST leaves me too sore to run
Being so tired after a long run that the rest of the day is shot unless it involves couch.
post-run stomach cramps
That's about all the complaining I can think of now...
I am ready to really dig into cross training, intervals, strength training and building my muscles back up. I know that will help me lose weight even faster. Enough of this 200's bullsh!t.
2 weeks after the half I have a 10K, and after that I will take a definite break from loooong runs.
But I still have the hump of this weekend's 12 mile run, after that- it's all downhill! Bring it... But until it's all over I want to exceed my own expectations.
Wish me luck.

Good luck!
I ALWAYS used to weigh significantly more on Mondays, didn't seem to matter HOW I ate over the weekend. (Also, if I drink, rest assured, the scale WILL go up. Even just one drink!
Eat lots of protein day, drink water like it's going out of style, and ROCK your workout today, you will feel so much better tomorrow, regardless of what the scale says.

text: 0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 10, 2012Reviewer: Barbara in OregonI need to qualify this review by stating up front that I'm one of those people who can really, really taste artificial sweeteners - although I do fine with Splenda/sucralose. That's apparently a genetic trait, so I'm stuck with it. This product is sweetened with acesulfame potassium and sucralose. For me the product was overly sweetened (a common failing in reduced-fat products) and just plain nasty-tasting. I drank it at night and could still taste the artificial sweeteners the next day, after brushing my teeth and drinking coffee. I have not yet tried the chocolate but I'm hopeful that the extra flavoring will mask the chemical taste.This review is specific to Muscle Milk 100 Calorie Ready-to-Drink Shake, Sugar Free, 8.25 fl oz., Vanilla

To Whoever Left These Lobster Cards On My Desk At The Dock- Thank You
The way they helped our friend who they'd never met before is all I need to know about the type of caring people they are.
Big time thanks from the GMG Family.

Cigarette butts are right up there as the most common and yucky litter. Gloucester offers a quick ride right into our ocean waters. We were required to clean our sidewalk daily in front of our business or be fined. Some smokers would flick one right in the midst of our dustpan and broom without missing a step.
Smoker trash is just an unfailing source of __________. You fill in the blank. There's a big blind spot.
Business owners, employees, property owners, tenants: a lot of what we pick up downtown are piles of the same cigarette brand. Case in point:
Award for BUTT FIEND on Parsons goes to a proud Parliament smoker. Residents including kids are out here with gloves picking up your butts. We're not talking the random passerby flick. We're talking regular and routine breaks where you just sit there dropping.
Big shout out to Dan Leaman and Mike Carter today with Dan Leaman Landscaping. Thank you for coming back again to help with Parsons Street.
In life, look for the helpers. Donna Ardizzoni, Patty Amaral, and many volunteers –See Donna's post for this Saturday's clean up
Our fearless leader, Super K, Donna Ardizzoni, Melissa Cox, John McEhenny and many more volunteer to brave the dunk tank in order to raise money for Relay for Life!

A lot has changed in the 4 years since that day except how hard Pete works to provide for his family- THAT IS A CONSTANT.
One of the best guys you'd every want to have the pleasure of knowing as a friend OR a business acquaintance.
Pete Mondello is the kind of guy everyone should be lucky enough to have in their circle of friends.
I first met Jackie as part of our founding group of Block Party organizers. I can tell you this- there was never a doubt that we couldn't have done what we got done without Jackie clearing the way to make them such a hit.
Never a doubt that Jackie always put the city and her constituents best interests first. She was a councilor who did what was right for the city and put the decision making based on what was right and not on politics.
A great Gloucesterite and one of the best City Councilors ever. Thanks for all you've done to make this a better place Jackie.
God bless you and our thoughts are with your family.
Check out the interview with the ever upbeat Heidi Wakeman
Here's the blog-
Send in pics of your bike, start up the conversation about local biking, all that good stuff. Heidi is about the sweetest woman you'd ever wanna meet.
Here's our interview from August 2008 when the GMG was only a few months old-
If you're looking for a great Sunday breakfast buffet, look no further. The Gloucester House puts on an incredible breakfast buffet on Sundays from 9:30-1:00.
I and all the artists who took part, want to give a big round of applause and our thanks to The Gloucester House, Lily, Lenny, Dottie Linquata and all there who made the St. Valentine's Art Show one of the best I've seen and participated in. They made us feel like family and were so kind and generous to give us an exhibit and sales opportunity, in a delightful lovely space in the cold of February. If that wasn't enough, each day they put out coffee, tea and wonderful homemade Italian cookies for us and visitors to enjoy. The Gloucester House and the Linquatas do much for the community, and the artists especially appreciate their generosity and kindness.
Special thanks also to Ray Lamont who gave the Show such great coverage in the Gloucester Daily Times, which drew many people to the show. It was great to meet artists I didn't previously know and many people who don't make it over to Rocky Neck, as well as to see those I do know but wouldn't normally see in the dead of winter. All in all, a great four days that we all enjoyed immensely. Many thanks.

If you don't know by now that The Hive is just an incredible gift to our community and positive force than you just aren't living breathing and opening your eyes enough to realize what positive juju is being pumped out there daily.
It's a testament to Founder David Brooks, his staff and the teens that make the place hum.
Thank you for this gift.

Just after 7 pm tonight (8/20/13), two young ladies came into my gallery to look around after out dining together at Jalapeños next door. On their way out, they stopped at the counter and one of them asked if I wrote the Drive by Shooting post for GMG. Yes I did, and one of them said it was her sister who did the shooting. Wow! After talking about the Drive by Shooting experience for a few minutes, they left. Seconds later, they returned and said: "We found a lot of money scattered on the sidewalk outside." So we went all of ten feet from my door and I scooped up $106. They saw who dropped it and noticed that he went into Jalapeños. I went into the restaurant with the two girls and we searched for a man in his 30's wearing a blue shirt and shorts. Good detective work, but no luck. I told the hostess (owner Alex's daughter) to send the person looking for the cash over to the galley. If he doesn't come in by 8:30 or so, I'll bring it to the 24/7 lost and found, the Gloucester Police Department.
I took a photo of these two friends, and got the left to rights. On the left is Page Harmon, sister of the Drive by Shooter, and on the right in front of the Gloucester flag is Baylee Kirk, both from East Gloucester. Bailee's parents are journalist Bill Kirk and Carolyn Kirk. Carolyn is the Mayor of the City of Gloucester. It was a good experience for the three of us, and a lesson in karma: Always do the right thing. Tomorrow I'll drop off an envelope to the GPD with five $20 bills, a five, a single, with my business card. Karma is coming our way! Gloucester.
This is not to be missed. If you haven't experienced a GMG Mug Up Food Competition at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, you have been missing something big.
It is time for the World Famous GMG Biennial Deviled Egg Competition. Those who would like to have their special deviled eggs included in the competition, be featured on the blog, and go down in deviled egg history, just bring 'em on Sunday, June 9th at 9:15 am at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck Ave., Gallery 3. All those masterful in the art of deviled egg making are welcome. Beware, I did not enter my world famous deviled eggs in the last competition to give people a fair chance. Not so this year – I'll be there with my eggs and will show no mercy. Gigi Mederos has already started posturing, as she wants to go home with the ribbon again this year. We'll just see about that Ms. Gigi. Haven't heard a word from Kathy Chapman yet, but she is a strong contender who has a couple of GMG food competition ribbons under her belt.
We've assembled a distinguished panel of experienced deviled egg competition judges, including: Joey C., Ed Collard, Paul Morrison, Adam Bolonsky and newcomer, Richard Rosenfeld. If you missed our first GMG Deviled Egg Competition in 2011, or are not sure how the judging works, you can see the distinquished panel at work here https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/2011-good-morning-gloucester-deviled-egg-competition/
People who don't like deviled eggs or are not entering into the competition, feel free to bring along something non-egg related to share for Mug Up. Mug Up is alot of fun and everyone is invited and welcome. Come meet GMG peeps and make some new friends.

Hi Joey
The Gloucester Committee for the Arts announces $13,200 in new private donation!
This jumbo gift enables the current conservation work on six of the Charles Allen Winter New Deal murals in City Hall to be completed without interruption. We would have still pressed on but there may have been an interruption (scaffolding down and then set back up again months later) as we continued to raise funds. While the donors of the $13,200 contribution wish to remain anonymous, the funds were provided to the Committee through the Belinda Foundation at the Boston Foundation.
Committee member Roger Armstrong, the owner of the State of the Art Gallery on Rocky Neck and the State of the Art Gallery II located downtown on Pleasant Street , secured this immediate funding gift. Armstrong stated, "We are so very fortunate to be the beneficiaries of generous Gloucester citizens who share our appreciation for these art treasures in City Hall."
And it's also thanks in no small measure to the recent local media coverage –from GMG, Cape Ann Beacon and the GDT –of the current restoration of City Hall murals! The Committee is extremely grateful for this support of the conservation work and the recognition of the significance of the City's collection of WPA-era murals.
If you would like to join the effort to care for the irreplaceable City art including these historic murals and the work of the CFTA, contributions in support of our City Art can be mailed to:
The Gloucester Fund
45 Middle Street
Gloucester, MA 01930
Be sure to put "Committee for the Arts" on the memo line of the check.
Well at the Mass Cultural Council Meeting at Fred Bodin's I was envious of my pal Melissa Cox' super soft scarf. I asked her to make me one and she gave me the one around her neck. Such a good egg that Melissa.
Wore it home and when I entered the door I was greeted by someone I may or may not be related to through marriage with a quizzical look. I asked her "What with the look?" To which she replied- "You know that's a girls scarf, right?"
Upon further inspection the pattern is a little frilly. So I returned the scarf and asked Melissa to make me a new scarf which I would pay for that had a more manly pattern.
So we sauntered (yes sauntered) over to Coveted Yarn and picked out a manly scarf design and some new yarn.
It was a daunting task with the bazillion different types of yarns and thicknesses or yarns and yarns with different yarn properties, some of which need to be hand washed, some of which can be thrown in the washing machine- anyway I learned way more about yarn than any man should ever need to know about yarn.
With some guidance from The Yarn Pimp- Roberto we picked out a super soft yarn for the scarf which my pal Melissa would be producing for me just in time for the balmy days of spring.
You can see the pattern and yarn we picked out below-
Straight sexy, right?
And here's the yarn being made into a cake at Coveted Yarn-

Per our discussion in the GMG comment section I contend that if the energy produced and saved results were made available online that it would make the proponents happy and the skeptics happy if the results are what they've been projected.
Without the data the general public whose tax dollars erre used in part to fund it are left to (pardon the pun) drift in the wind.
Can you request that at one of your meetings?
Anyone else who would be interested in tjis data chime in on the vomments to this pist as well.

As I was preparing my list of books to take on vacation there was one I had at the top of that list- Adam Carolla's Not Taco Bell Material. Last year in Playa del Carmen I read his first book In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks and was laughing with every turn of the pages.
No luck on the shelves locally, I headed to Barnes and Noble where it was also out of stock and since I was leaving in two days time there was no chance of ordering it in time to take it on vacation.
So the Mrs suggests ordering it to read on my iPad. While she has a tendency to not take care of her electronics I don't like taking mine to the beach. Sand and saltwater and suntan lotion- just way too much chance of messing stuff up. However when looking online at the Library inventory of availability I see my book available in hardback edition.
I place the book on hold at 7:30AM. Show up at 10:00AM and ask for the book. It hadn't been pulled from the shelf yet but the librarian (total unsung hero) walks around from behind the desk, goes and finds it for me, hands it to me and I straight up walk out. With a $25 book. For free. Just by showing up! I gots it for three weeks.
Customer service? You betcha! With a smile.
I thanked him and told him I appreciate his service to the community.
Twenty Five Dollars Savings In My Pocket.
This is not to mention to the free museum passes that are always available, the cds you can take out and burn to your iTunes collection listen to before returning, art exhibits, lecture series, free wifi, ect, ect, ect…
Point is, the library isn't just a place for the homeless to hang out once the shelter boots them out for the day. It's probably one of the greatest resources in the community and it's free. If you end up on the positive end of savings and all these resources, please consider giving back and supporting the library. http://www.sawyerfreelibrary.org/
