|Surrey, B.C., Canada
|High School:
|Elgin Park HS
AS A FRESHMAN IN 2012: Redshirted the season.
CLUB: Selected to Vancouver Whitecaps Women's Elite twice (2010-11 and 2011-12) ... one of 10 selected to team ... Provincial Champions U12 and U16 ... MVP Provincial Finals Coastal Cup ... Member of BC Provincial teams U13, U14 and two years at U16 ... Leading scorer on all club teams from U9-U16 ... recorded 10 goals at Albion Cup ... scored 25 goals in a 17-game season for the U13 BC team ... member of Canadian U12 DANONE Nations Cup where she was one of six girls to compete with 560 boys while she started all games for Canada ... selected to Canadian Soccer Association NTC West ... identified by CSA ... silver and bronze medalist at Canadian Nationals.
PERSONAL: Daughter of Rick and Yvonne...father is a roofing contractor…mother is a homemaker…has one sister, Nikki who currently plays on Santa Clara's soccer team…born in Vancouver BC, Canada…enjoys soccer, basketball, volleyball, web design and shopping…goal is to own her own business and/or pursue a career in finance…majoring in Economics.
Why Brittany chose Santa Clara: "When I was examining my post-secondary options, my family and teachers encouraged me to take my time and consider all the possibilities. While I visited several schools and was impressed by the merits of each, none really excited me the way Santa Clara did. Santa Clara's academic reputation, coupled with a nationally ranked soccer program, put SCU at the top of my list. I want to earn my degree from a respected school, but didn't want to just make a 'sensible choice.' I've been to the University several times and each visit was a great experience. The school and the community spirit is contagious. My sister, Nikki, is a student-athlete at SCU (women's soccer), and she and her 'second family' have made me feel welcome. I love playing soccer, and the enthusiasm shown by Bronco players and coaches convinced me that I wanted Santa Clara to be my home for the next four years."
Head coach Jerry Smith on Brittany: "Brittany will assimilate very quickly into our program as her sister, Nikki, is currently in her second year with us. This will allow Brittany to gain a heads start on how things run here. Brittany is a tough-minded, hard-working, goal scoring forward which are all welcomed additions to our team. Like the Canadian that she is, she plays in front of the net much the same way a hockey player would and is fearless in going after goal scoring opportunities."

While that famous documentary showed how Hamptons socialite Edith Beale and her daughter oversaw the eponymous estate's slide into squalor, the inhabitants of the 17th-century monastery in Portugal at the heart of Convento, a selection at this year's Margaret Mead Film Festival, lovingly resurrected a ruin into a home full of life and art.

Imagine a mirror as wide as a football field at the South Pole of the Moon. Instead of polished glass, its surface is made of a reflective liquid, which spins in a circle.
Scientists hope to make this vision into a reality one day by using a liquid mirror to build a giant lunar telescope that would allow astronomers to see farther into the universe than ever before. In the Museum's special exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, visitors can see two liquid mirror telescopes: one featured as part of a Moonscape diorama, the other, an interactive model that can be operated with the push of a button.

Transfer of Power: If you play, will college coaches find you?
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 7:10 p.m.
Parents of college football prospects — especially borderline prospects — are often concerned their sons won't get noticed.
Out-of-zone transfers in Volusia
There are two ways students can participate in extracurricular activities at a school they are not zoned for:
■ The school district can approve their application to a career academy not offered at their zoned school. Academies are "nationally recognized" programs that "get students ready for post-high school."
■ They can request a variance. A variance is an application to attend a school other than the one students are assigned to for some reason besides academic purposes.
Source: Volusia County School District
They'll make phone calls, they'll pay for camps and they'll pay recruiting services. They'll even make sure their budding star plays at the right high school — the one that draws the most college scouts.
All for the opportunity to get their kid a scholarship.
Whether or not all those measures are necessary is a point of contention among area high school and college coaches.
"If a player can play, he'll be found wherever he's at," Bethune-Cookman University coach Brian Jenkins said. "There are enough bright coaches out there who can read talent. So no matter what program a player is in, he can be found and placed in the right program.''
Mainland coach Scott Wilson, in his third year at the helm of a program that hasn't missed the playoffs since 1993, said he understands why some college prospects would be drawn to certain schools.
"If the kids are getting scholarships and earning things from colleges — that would attract them to want to go to a school where they have had more opportunities," said Wilson, whose program sent five players to NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools last year.
Pine Ridge coach Scott Surgener, whose team went 1-9 this season, agreed with Jenkins.
"Rarely is a kid missed," Surgener said. "College coaches don't care if you come off a 1-50 team. If you're 6-foot-3, 240 (pounds), can run a 4.4 (40-yard dash) and you can hit and jump, colleges don't care.
"Willie Mitchell played on a 1-19 football team here (in 2009-10) and got a full scholarship to UCF. Case in point. End of story."
Mitchell, a sophomore linebacker at UCF, said he had at least 20 college scholarship offers but was the only Pine Ridge player recruited by colleges during his final two seasons with the Panthers.
"Never give up," he said, "because someone's always looking."
Jenkins said it is true that you will see more college coaches recruiting tradition-rich schools such as Mainland over ones that have struggled in recent years such as Pine Ridge. Standouts at both places will be studied and rated, he said.
He also said parents and players are sending the wrong message when they pull their kids out of neighborhood schools.
"I think it hurts the young man,'' he said. "It sends a bad message to him that if you mess up at this place, you can go to another. If you're not happy at Place A, you can go to Place B. 'If B doesn't work out, then I'm going to go to Place C.' It sends a real bad message to our youth."

Missing Persons
Missing Persons
Purpose: To provide an effective and efficient process for investigating the disappearance of a student or employee from campus, or of a resident student from a college owned residence hall; to provide an effective and efficient process for assisting law enforcement agencies who are investigating a student or employee who has been reported missing from an off-campus location.
The Sage Colleges' will:
1. Inform each resident student that such student has the option to identify an individual to be contacted by the institution not later than 24 hours after the time a student is determined missing.
2. Provide each such student a means to register confidential contact information in the event that the student is determined to be missing for a period of more than 24 hours.
3. Advise each such student who is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, that the institution is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian not later than 24 hours after the time the student is determined to be missing.
4. Inform each such student that the institution will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is reported missing.
5. Establish official notification procedures for a missing person who resides in on-campus housing that:
a. includes procedures for official notification of appropriate individuals at the institution that such student has been missing for more than 24 hours
b. requires any official missing person report relating to such student be referred immediately to the institution's police or campus security department
c. and if, on investigation of the official report, such department determines that the missing student has been missing for more than 24 hours, requires such department to contact the individual identified by such student
d. if such student is under 18 years of age, and not an emancipated individual, the institution to immediately contact the custodial parent or legal guardian of such student.
A Missing Person is defined as a person who has disappeared without explanation.
It is often difficult to determine where a person is missing from. Careful consideration must be given in determining if a person is missing from campus, from a residence hall, from an off campus residence, from a permanent residence, or from a place of employment or recreation.
The disappearance of a person may occur under a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, abduction (by family, by romantic interest, by stranger), intentional flight or concealment (runaway), withdrawal or separation from the institution or when a person becomes lost, disoriented and unable to "find their way". Until proven otherwise, each case shall be treated as occurring under the most urgent circumstances.
Law enforcement agencies may have policies that do not provide for report taking when a person is first thought to be missing. Circumstances such as age, time and place last seen, mental health and personal circumstances may affect their decision to take a report.
College students frequently reside in communal situations. Roommates, suitemates and other residents may have privacy concerns and expectations that should be considered, when appropriate. However, the most important concern is the safety of the missing person.
The location from where a person is missing may be a crime scene. It should be treated as such until determined otherwise.
When a member of the college community is first reported as a Missing Person:
1. Identify and describe the missing person as completely as possible.
First determine:
Address (campus and local)
Hair color/length
Distinctive physical attributes
Status on campus
As soon as possible, determine:
College ID
Academic schedule
Work schedule
Places frequented
Vehicle ownership/usage
Obtain photograph
2. Contact persons who may have information, including
Parents, family
Romantic interests
Residence Life staff
Student services staff
3. Determine where the person was last seen.
The place where a person is last scene is usually used to determine where a missing person should be reported.
4. Determine circumstances around disappearance.
Is there a witness to a potential crime?
Has the missing person displayed concern about his/her safety?
Has the missing person been involved in a dispute with another person?
Is the missing person mentally healthy?
Is the missing person experiencing academic, personal or financial problems?
Does the missing person have an alcohol or drug dependency?
Has the missing person disappeared before?
Has the missing person left behind a communication to anyone?
Have others been reported missing in the area or under similar circumstances?
5. Search appropriate areas.
A quick but thorough search of the entire campus, focusing on areas frequented by the missing person, should be conducted.
Attempt to locate a vehicle on campus registered to or used by the missing person.
Prepare to assist a law enforcement agency conduct a more thorough search.
Do not contaminate any potential crime scene.
Do not contaminate any source of a scent for a K9 search.
6. Notify appropriate authorities.
Notify the appropriate campus officials.
Notify a parent, guardian or other person pre-designated by the missing person as the appropriate contact under these circumstances. The notification should be made by an appropriate official from the institution involved and must be made no more than 24 hours from the time when a person is first known to be missing.
Notify the police department immediately when the disappearance and all of its circumstances create an articuable concern for the safety of the missing person.
7. Cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.
Make persons available as requested.
Make information available as requested.
Provide access to campus facilities as requested.
Provide access to CCTV, building access systems, email, social networking sites and computer networks as requested.
8. Depending on the circumstances of the disappearance and the results of the investigation, prepare:
Media statements and responses
Hospitality services for victim's family
Counseling services for affected persons
9. When a person reported missing returns to campus or is otherwise located:
Verify the health and welfare of the person.
Notify appropriate campus officials.
Notify investigating law enforcement agencies.
Notify the parent, guardian or other person pre-designated who was notified of the disappearance.

Don't ask people why you're a bitch and why they dislike you. They'll just show other people why you're disliked.
I only have a problem with you when you have a problem with me. It seems every once in a while you suddenly become incredibly emotional and direct it towards me. Every 30 day period, one might say.
*shrugs* Some people get emotional... they're called women.
I am not emotional, and I am not on my period. I do however have the flu, I'm throwing up and I really don't feel well. Maybe I shouldn't have made this thread, but I really did just want constructive criticism. I didn't expect to be flamed. Silly me.
You give me the impression that you do not much care for me. Perhaps I am wrong. If I am, you could simply say so instead of being rude about it. I waited DAYS after you posted PMs from me to even ask you what your problem is. I think that is showing restraint.
I trusted you when I sent that to you instead of just posting a thread about it. You betrayed that trust. That is something I wouldn't do to my worst enemy. I would not post PMs even from someone I hate. They are called Private for a reason.
What did IIII do?! You invited ME on this show!
Constructive criticism of a human being is a ridiculous concept and I don't think anyone in this thread will honestly oblige you with criticism of you as a person.
And I do not see any flames. Is Solly using hidden text tags again?
Oh SNAP! Kirbstomp's ShadowBalls IN YO FACE!
No, it isn't okay with me. Please take it down.
I wasn't talking to you Qoorl, I was talking to Solly. I don't remember inviting you here, but thank you for showing up. I'm sure I didn't mean anything negative in your general direction.

I wish "Author X" would take a break from "Plotline Y"
(Title wouldn't fit up there.)
Walking through the book store the other day, I came across Susan Eliza Phillips' new book, which is usually a treat as she's one of my favorites. But then I realized she used her "tried and true" runaway "bride" storyline. So many of her books seem to be about women running away. Am I imagining this? Why not switch it up and have the man run away. Or, better yet, think up some entirely new conflict.
Are there authors who seem attached to the same storylines and who you would like to see switch up their plotting, characters, and/or setting?
Which authors would you like to see write an entirely different type of romance and what would you like to see them tackle?
For what it's worth, I *do not* want to see SEP write about vampires or S&M or any combo ... although I'm sure it'd be a hoot.

I loved, loved SEP, but I couldn't finish her last one because the hero, like so many of hers, was just too abusive. She often does this kind of character. It's effective, I suppose, because it creates tension and you wait to the revelation that he (or she) is wrong and the redemption, but I don't think I'll probably buy her any more.
I find that many authors, if you read a lot of any favorite, use the same plot or characters repeatedly. Elizabeth Lowell, Kristen Ashley, and a host of others. I figure writing is like having a fantasy and something clicks for them and they are turned on to write. When I've tried to write a novel, sometimes, it just flows and the characters "talk" to me. I've read authors who say that they started to write one book, but the the hero or heroine took over and brought it to a different place. You know how your favorite author goes stale, even if you haven't read too much of her? Well, I think that's because she's consciously guiding the plot and characters, rather than tuning into the unconscious voice. You can see and feel the difference when you read it. Authors are at the mercy of forces they cannot control, and their fantasies are the core of their success. That's my theory, anyway.

My biggie is Jayne Ann Krentz in all her incarnations. I wish she would give up anything and everything "Arcane". It used to be that the paranormal elements were in her Jayne Castle books. Then they became part of her historicals and now have even taken over the contemporaries. They just all sound the same and the reliance on this 'power to the nth' degree thing is a crutch for the author. JAK has always had similar hero/heroine types but what I'd love right now is a straightforward contemporary romance, perhaps with a little suspense, but absolutely no paranormal elements at all.

JAK has always had similar hero/heroine types but what I'd love right now is a straightforward contemporary romance, perhaps with a little suspense, but absolutely no paranormal elements at all.
AMEN! My sentiments exactly. JAK/AQ was always a comfort read for me. Her plots and characters often were similar types but since I enjoyed her "types" I knew what I would get when I read her books. I would love a straight contemporary or historical that has nothing to do with the Arcane Society or anything paranormal. From interviews I have read, JAK feels that she has hit her stride and is writing the books she's been meant to write. Based on that I don't see her abandoning this anytime soon. In the meantime, I reread my old favorites and continue to hope.
So many books; so little time!

I have to say I wish Madeline Hunter would take a break from the Regency. Some of her Regency-set historicals have been good, but I miss what she could do with medieval settings.

Until "The Lost Night," I would have disagreed with the comments about JAK/AQ/JC, for even though she always wrote essentially the same story, there was always a considerable amount of wit to entertain a reader even though the story itself was a repetition. "The Lost Night," though, in my opinion, was a collection of events, a non-story with very little purpose or point.

I've read a few Eloisa James books, and I want to like her books, but it seems like each book or series has a couple that has a Big Mis leading to a Long Separation, leaving the heroine to sit at home and 'mature celibately' while the hero goes out and whores around, then he comes home and they patch things up.
Maybe I've just been unlucky when I pick her books, but that seems to be the plot of every book by her that I've read since she's been with Avon.
At my job, the devil wears Payless.

I'm not a great hat maker, but still doesn't mean I can't celebrate the day. And if you guys rock mean hat making skills, please send pictures of your creations. Now on to what's happening tonight.
Project Pink Party at Vintage: Every third Wednesday of the month, Vintage in downtown Orlando hosts a Project Pink party with Capristan, a swimwear and apparel manufacturer. It's the swimwear though that takes center stage with models wearing different pieces throughout the event. DJ Freefall will play dance, house, top 40 and mashups for the 21-and-up crowd. There is no cover and the party starts at 9 p.m. For more information, go to thevintagelounge.com.
I told you I would post the pictures you send me of the hats you make today. Here is one from Paul Hiebing.

It's official. H&M and Crate & Barrel have landed in the Beehive.
By 8 o'clock last night, the line had begun to form. Temperatures were already threatening to drop below freezing, and these folks came prepared with gloves, knit hats, face masks, sleeping bags, hot cocoa and coffee--you name it--all to be some of the first shoppers in the state's first-ever H&M when the doors open today at noon. (Fashion Place Mallofficials took pity on these die hards and allowed them to countdown the hours inside, rather than on the cold concrete and in the frigid November air). Read More

Women's Golf Sees First Round in Hilton Head Canceled
The Princeton women's golf team will play one round instead of two at the Low Country Intercollegiate at Moss Creek Golf Club in Hilton Head, S.C. after Sunday's opening round was canceled.
Kelly Shon is the tournament's defending champion and will tee off at 9:30 a.m. Monday along with teammates Alexandra Wong, Sydney Kersten, Anna Jang and Tiffany Dong.
The Tigers are one of 16 teams in the field and one of three Ivies, along with Brown and Dartmouth. In addition to host Wofford and the Ivy trio, the others are The Citadel, Presbyterian, Gardner-Webb, Radford, Western Kentucky, South Carolina-Upstate, South Carolina State, Western Carolina, Appalachian State, Akron, Division II Ursuline (Ohio), and Division III DePauw (Ind.). Princeton is the highest-ranked team in the field according to the Mar. 17 Golfweek rankings, checking in at No. 92 nationally.
The tournament is one of three on the docket for the team this spring, along with the UNCW Seahawk Classic in North Carolina the first weekend in April and the Ivy League Championship at Trump National the last weekend in April.

I have an MyTouch 4G from TMobile. It's running android 2.3.4. How do I put put a file and delete files from the phone itself, not just the SD card?
You could install the Android SDK on your computer. This would give you the possibility to access your device's storage via the command line using e.g.
ADB FileExplorer is a minimalistic frontend to copy files from/to the device. It's freely available from the XDA developers (simply follow the link). It is written in Java, and thus should run on nearly all operating systems used on desktop computers.
If you want a little more comfort, then there's also ADBBrowser. Available for Linux and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), it offers also an app-browser. And last but not least, there's QtADB available for Linux, Mac and Windows (again 32-bit and 64-bit), full of useful features like file manager, app manager, device information, SMS, shell, screenshots, logcat, backup/restore... Take a pick.
Of course, there are many more possibilities. If your device is rooted, there are several apps available on the Playstore which permit full access to the local file system remotely.
If you mean the Internal SD Card (where pictures etc are stored if they aren't stored on the internal SD Card), then this is mounted along with the external SD card when you connect your phone to the computer.
If you mean the root file system, (I.E where the Android system files are), then this can be done, but not directly.
You would have to do it using an app via FTP, and you would have to be rooted to see the vast majority of the files.
The app SSH Droid allows you to turn your device into an SSH/SFTP server, which allows you to use FTP to connect to the internal file system (where the main system files are stored) of your device, using an FTP client (Nautilus, Windows Explorer, Filezilla for example).
When doing this, be careful not to delete any files that could be important in the functioning of your device, and like I said - root will be needed to do most things here.

Some highlights from the guidelines:
- Ad Networks are committed to maintaining high quality standards for advertisers and publishers and at the same time respecting intellectual property rights to maintain a healthy Internet and promote innovation.
- The best practices include (among other things):
- Maintaining and posting policies intended to discourage or prevent, to the extent possible, websites that are principally dedicated to selling counterfeit goods, engaging in copyright piracy or otherwise violating laws from participating in the ad network;
- Accepting and processing proper notices from rights holders regarding websites participating in the Ad Network alleged to be principally dedicated to selling counterfeit goods or engaging in copyright piracy and to have no substantial non-infringing uses; and
- Providing guidance for the content of a proper notice and identifying the designated agent to receive such notice.
- The best practices are intended to encourage and supplement, not replace, responsible and direct independent actions taken by intellectual property owners to enforce their intellectual property rights and are not intended to impose a duty on any Ad Network to monitor its network to identify offending websites.
As part of this initiative, AOL, along with Yahoo, Microsoft and Google, established this set of self-regulating best practices to address known infringing sites in their respective ad networks.
AOL has been building trust with our users for more than 28 years. And we have been equally committed to maintaining high quality standards for advertisers and publishers – taking piracy and counterfeiting seriously. Many of the best practices guidelines very much mirror what we have been doing all along at AOL and, consequently, we quickly supplemented our current practice and are now in compliance with the best practices. Advertising.com boasts one of the best networks in terms of quality, which is part of our success story, and this initiative will reinforce that. I commend the collaborative efforts of the participating Ad Networks and the industry to help combat online piracy.

I had been looking for a dog to celebrate my recovery from six months of cancer treatment and a stem cell transplant and was anxiously awaiting the OK from my doctors that my immune system could handle a new addition to our family. I searched diligently on Petfinder for the perfect dog. My criteria: 30 lbs or less, long hair, perky ears, "movie star quality." friendly, not a young puppy, and soft, silky fur. I found a posting for a dog named Jewel on the Farmington, NM, animal shelter's Petfinder listing and called immediately, as there was something special about her that caught my eye. Unfortunately, the staff there reported that Jewel had just left the shelter that day to be transported to Denver to a rescue organization for BASSET HOUNDS! We live 350 miles away from Denver but had plans to attend a wedding there the following weekend. I took that as a sign that this dog could be our new pet. Sure enough, the lovely lady who was acting as a foster parent for Jewel in Denver had someone come and do the home inspection and approved our adoption application. We met Jewel before the wedding and immediately fell in love with her playful personality and "movie star" looks. So, she was able to come home with us that weekend. Our last name is Ryan, and we ended up changing her name to "Meg" - the "movie star dog"! We adopted her at six months old and have had her now for 1.5 years, and she is a special dog -- happy all the time and wanting to play. I've used clicker training with her to teach the basics plus lots of tricks. She is a great hiking companion and loves to join me on my archaeology field trips. I credit her with helping in my complete recovery.

Handling Awkward Interview Questions

Interviews can be nerve-wracking enough without the added pressure of dealing with inappropriate questions. So what should you do? Let's examine what's happening and possible ways to deal with it. Recent events such as the killing of Osama bin Laden loom large throughout the media. President Barack Obama's leadership against terrorism, his decision to approve the mission, the political ramifications of the mission and myria...

Twitter is gaining ground as a job hunting resource. Read entire article here. Most of my clients recognize LinkedIn as their chief online professional networking resource.

I think too many people believe Twitter to be just another online time-eater… something filled w...

Staying Mentally Focused
by Randy Wooden - Dec, 2009
The Triad's first quarter, 2010, hiring outlook is not encouraging. Similar forecasts abound throughout the nation. What's a job hunter to do?

And while the media preaches gloom and doom, remember it only takes one qualified yes to end your journey. Just as salesmen can...
The Value of a Verbal Cushion
by Randy Wooden - Nov, 2009
From time to time a candidate will face a question he simply wishes to avoid. Whether that question deals with anticipated income, reasons for leaving your last job, specific career goals, occasionally a candidate may find it advantageous to avoid a direct and specific answer. So how's that supposed to work? First, a definition. A verbal cushion is typically a series of words spoken right after the employer's question....

Eight Common Job Interview Mistakes
by Randy Wooden - Oct, 2009
1. Not asking for the job. While not a literal question, asking for the job means restating your interest in the position. 2. Failing to ask appropriate questions.

Failing to adequately provide examples from your work history to illustra...
Eight Ways To Make A Good First Impression
by Randy Wooden - Oct, 2009
1. Preparation. This takes many forms, but make sure you understand what the employer's looking for and cite examples from your past to show you meet their needs. 2. Resume. No typos, one or two pages in length, include key words which match with those listed in the requirements or qualifications. 3. Stand up in the lobby. Make sure you're standing when the employer pops his head into the lobby. Why? Peopl...

Strava implements new Algorithms to meet riders needs
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Due to popular demand for Strava and KOM's along with Strava's attempt to manage stravassholing they have apparently added new algorithms. Below is a snippet which apparently came from the CEO of Strava. Enjoy!
Problems also arise when KOM holders interact with other actual cyclists and get their shit handed to them on a plate, according to Horvath. "The cognitive dissonance that arises when you think you are the king of a mountain, but then on a group ride you are the last person up the mountain you're supposedly king of, creates so much depression, self-doubt, anger, and disillusionment that our most committed members are letting their memberships lapse," he explains.

Strava is becoming popular, so some people will naturally push back. Doesn't really matter; it's well-designed software, serving a purpose, so will continue to grow. Regarding stravassholes, the term is cute, but I've never witnessed or heard a direct account of any of that stuff happening. Some people are a-holes, most are not, irregardless of what technology they are or aren't using.
I met some of the people who work there; they are very nice, very smart, very helpful, and with a laudable vision. I'm really liking strava.

Agree, Strava is Awesome

And if people haven't tried Strava or the other Strava like products out there I recommend you give it a try. One of the best product innovations in cycling in the last few years. It's uses go way beyond just tracking one's performance.
In case it was missed, this is a "Friday Fun" Post.

You gotta show up!

I have never tried Stava, and I have no intention to. I don't care what your PR is on any course, or even what my PR is for that matter.
Conditions change, wind, stress, sleep the night before, it all has an effect on how you ride and your times. Regardless, You have to show up on race day to prove it, everything else is just noise!

Because the top people on Strava tend to correspond with the most successful local racers, anywhere you go.

I call it going by bike and people *do* seem to make the cotiecnnon between my overall bliss and the cycling habit and how it becomes a lifestyle but boy, would I like to find a way to really convey that they are *not* powerless and could find it themselves. Since I don't have a car people know I'm getting places by the bike, but sometimes still say you rode the bike today?

Agreed - for all the whining, I've never actually witnessed a negative Strava-related incident.

I've only had positive interaction on Strava. When someone beats a KOM of mine I congratulate them and let it go. If I miss out on a KOM because I'm held up due to traffic on a trail, well, that's just part of the game, I'm not going to run someone off the trail to win an imaginary trophy.
I like the tracking ability more than anything else, and honestly the KOM's will be mostly irrelevant for residents of Denver and Boulder because unless you are a Pro racer, National Champion or get 4th on the Olympics, you aren't likely to get a KOM on anything significant.

Honey Boo Boo: Top of The Reality World Programming
Posted by Native NYker in alana thompson, here comes honey boo boo, honey boo boo, white trash on September 26, 2012
Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo is taking the reality world by storm with her TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." For real y'all. The chub-ster is a hit.
There have been many a speculative debate on everything from what the white-trash talking household makes per episode to the desperation of a network in featuring a smart-ass, talking back to her parents, borderline obese sassy kid & household, such as TLC has – but the numbers speak for themselves.
This ain't far from where the countries youth is at so it ain't a stretch.
We are left wondering what Mayor Bloomberg thinks of the show given his penchant at curbing the public's ability of mass consumption of calories.
Just a thought…
But the rest of America luvs themselves some Honey Boo-Boo.
We don't watch personally, but we did sneak a peak at an episode where Mrs. Thompson made reference of "sweating like a whore in church," and it left us practically pissing in our pants.
Don't judge us…
These are folks certainly redefining what is a class act!

What is the LDS practice of home/visiting teaching? Are they the same thing? Where did this originate, as I don't know of other sects which have the same practice... at least with those terms.

Home and visiting teaching are assignments given to church members to visit with one another, in order to uplift and strengthen each other, and to identify needs which each members may have.
The basis for this can be found in LDS scripture, Doctrine & Covenants 20:46-47:
Generally, during a home teaching visit, the home teacher will talk with the family, find out what's going in their lives, and usually share some spiritual message.
Most men in the church are given this responsibility.
The difference between home and visiting teaching is that home teaching is done by the men, and the visit with the whole family, while visiting teaching is done by the women, and the only visit with other women.

Travis Ford put UMass basketball back on the map.
In 2007-08, Ford continued the winning ways which he began at UMass in the 2006-07 season as the Minutemen made their deepest run into postseason in school history, reaching the NIT Championship game in New York. The Minutemen knocked off defending national champion Florida in the NIT Semifinals after rallying from 22 points in the second half to win at Syracuse. The Minutemen became the first team in history to beat Syracuse at the Carrier Dome twice in the same season. UMass finished with a 25-11 record, the fifth-most wins in school history. UMass has a team set eight school records including most points and most 3-pointers made in a season in 2007-08. UMass was in the RPI's top 30 for nearly the entire season, peaking at No. 9. UMass picked up major road wins twice at Syracuse, Boston College and No. 14 Dayton. The win at Dayton was the first for Ford against a ranked team and propelled the Minutemen into the RPI Top 20. The Minutemen was recognized for having the league's player of the year for the second year in a row as Gary Forbes claimed the honor as he tied for the league's regular-season scoring crown (20.3).
Ford is the second-winningest coach in terms of win percentage with a 63.9 mark in three seasons. Only John Calipari won more with a 73.1 mark. Ford is also the sixth-winningest coach in UMass history in terms of wins with a 62-35 overall record in three seasons.
The 2006-07 season was a memorable one for the Minutemen as they had their best season in a decade. UMass captured a share of the Atlantic 10 Regular-Season Championship with a 24-9 record. UMass won its first postseason game since the 1996 Final Four, with an 89-87 thriller over Alabama before a national television audience on ESPN.
With UMass winning Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship for the first time since 1995-96, Ford has returned the energy and enthusiasm to the Mullins Center with winning ways. UMass made its first postseason appearance since 2000, playing in the NIT in 2007, reaching the second round with a memorable 89-87 win over Alabama on ESPN in the first round.
UMass forward Stephane Lasme was named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year as he became just the third player in NCAA history with four triple-doubles in a season. Lasme went on to be drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the NBA Draft and signed a contract prior to the 2007-08 season.
Center Rashaun Freeman earned his third straight Atlantic 10 First-Team honor, the first player to do that since Jameer Nelson at Saint Joseph's (2001-04). Freeman went to finish his career with 1,744 career points, fourth all-time at UMass and added 998 rebounds, third all-time at UMass. Freeman signed a professional contract in France.
UMass averaged close to 6,000 fans per game in 2006-07, its highest crowd since 1998. That included the first sellout since 2001, when 9,493 packed the Mullins Center for an inter-state battle with Boston College.
The year featured Ford defeating his mentor, Rick Pitino, as UMass won the Billy Minardi Classic at Louisville. The Minutemen won 12 games on the road, among the best in the nation, including ending Dayton's home-court win streak late in February.
Ford used his first season at UMass to build the base for years to come. He re-energized all of Western Massachusetts as the Minutemen increased their attendance numbers by 50 percent to its highest in five years.
Ford has done countless interviews with local and national media. In his first few months at UMass he crossed the state and New England region back-and-forth with `Meet-N-Greet' sessions. He was honored by throwing out the first pitch at a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. One thing was sure, if you wanted to meet Ford, you had plenty of opportunities to get to know the new face of UMass basketball.
When Ford was hired, McCutcheon lauded Ford: "We are extremely pleased that Travis Ford and his wife Heather have become part of the UMass family," the A.D. said of UMass' 20th men's basketball coach. "He brings exactly the kind of experience, energy and charisma that we were hoping to find in a head coach. Travis distinguished himself from an outstanding group of candidates and we could not be more excited about the impact his appointment will have on the future of UMass Basketball."
Ford has emerged as one of the brightest, energetic and personable coaches in the nation. A decorated player at the University of Kentucky, Ford earned numerous accolades as the Wildcats' point guard from 1991-94. As a head coach, he led NAIA school Campbellsville University to a 67-31 record from 1997-2000 leading the Tigers to a National Tournament appearance in his final season.
"I am extremely excited to join the University of Massachusetts, a school with rich basketball tradition," said Ford. "I am looking forward to working hard every day to bring the excitement and energy back to one of New England's finest institutions. I know our fans seek the enthusiasm and passion that I can bring to Western Massachusetts and pack the Mullins Center again."
At Eastern Kentucky, Ford guided the Colonels to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in more than 25 years as well as their first winning season (22-9 in 2004-05) in 11 years. Ford was riding a seven-game winning steak -- Eastern Kentucky's longest such streak in 40 years -- prior to losing to his alma mater, Kentucky, in the 2005 NCAA First Round, 72-64. He led the Colonels to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Championship, their first since 1979.
Ford, led EKU out of doldrums as they were a combined 9-44 in the previous two seasons before his arrival. His first two teams won seven games, but his victory total rose each year to 11, then 14 and finally a school-record 22 in 2004-05. In five seasons in Richmond, he led the Colonels to a 61-80 record. .
He put the EKU program back on the map in 2003-04, as the Colonels posted a 14-15 record, giving the team its highest win total since tallying 15 victories during the 1992-93 campaign. The Colonels also made their second straight appearance in the OVC Tournament. Eastern would defeat Samford in the opening round of the league tourney in McBrayer Arena to post the team's first win in the event since 1995. Ford set several personal milestones with the 2003-04 resurgence. His eight OVC wins were the most for the program since 1997-98 Ford also became the first Colonel head coach to lead his team to back-to-back OVC Tourney appearances since Mike Calhoun accomplished the feat during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons.
Ford has also had a long run of producing successful players. He has had at least one player named to the all-league teams in each of his five seasons, including two at the conclusion of the 2003-04 season and Michael Haney this past season. Ford also guided Matt Witt to the OVC Freshman of the Year award in 2002-03.
Ford used his team's success to his advantage during the recruiting process, landing a class that has been ranked No. 28 nationally by HoopScoop Magazine. His class was the second-highest rated in the OVC heading into 2004-05.
Ford's success at EKU, came as no surprise to anyone familiar with basketball in the Bluegrass State. He began his bench duties at Campbellsville University, where he served as head coach for three seasons. During his tenure at Campbellsville, Ford led the Tigers to a 67-31 overall record. During the 1999-2000 season - his last at Campbellsville - Ford guided his team to a 23-11 record and an appearance in the NAIA National Tournament.
Ford's Tigers tallied a 28-3 mark in 1998-99 including an impressive 10-2 record in Mid-South Conference play, earning him MSC Coach of the Year honors. While on the bench at Campbellsville, Ford produced seven First Team All-MSC players and 10 that were voted honorable mention all-conference. Three of his players were named honorable mention All-Americans and one was selected second team.
The playing career of Travis Ford was impressive as well. He began his collegiate career at Missouri, where he was named to the UPI Big Eight All-Freshman team. During that season, Ford averaged 6.4 points and 3.5 assists per game. Ford would transfer to Kentucky prior to his sophomore year and made a big impact on the Wildcat program after sitting out a season due to transfer rules. He helped the Wildcats to NCAA Tournament appearances in each season in Lexington.
Ford went on to earn First Team All-SEC honors once, while also earning SEC Tournament MVP twice. Aside from him athletic accomplishments, Ford was also named to the Academic All-SEC team in each of his three seasons at UK. During his sophomore season (1991-92), Ford's outstanding shooting ability was on display. He connected on 32 field goals during the season and 26 of them fell in from behind the three-point arc. That season he also won the team's Student-Athlete of the Year award.
In 1992-93, Ford averaged 13.6 points and 4.8 assists as a junior and became the first player in Kentucky history to make more than 100 three-pointers in a season, which still stands as a school record (101). He led his team to the NCAA Tournament Final Four during that campaign and was named Southeast Region MVP. As a senior (1993-94), he scored his 1,000th career points (1,143 career points) as he averaged 11.3 points and 5.8 assists per game. He was honored as co-team MVP in 1994 along with current NBA player Tony Delk.
He stands sixth all-time at Kentucky in three-pointers made (190) and second all-time in three-point field goal percentage (.445). In the all-time free throw charts, he is second all-time in free throw percentage (.882). His .912 percentage as a senior also still stands as a second-best mark in a single-season in Wildcat history.
The Madisonville, Ky., native was a part of the gold medal-winning South squad at the 1990 US Olympic Festival in 1990 and later played for the US team that won a gold medal in the 1993 World University Games. Ford's playing career in high school was also stellar. Playing at North Hopkins High School, he led his team to three state tournament appearances during his career and was named to the All-State team. He averaged 31.7 points per game as a senior and was twice named Western Kentucky Player of the Year.
Ford's playing days ended in training camp with the Golden State Warriors of the NBA, but his time in California led to a new job. He landed the role of Danny O'Grady in the movie The 6th Man.
Ford and wife Heather, a former swimmer at Kentucky, have three children: Brooks (7), Kyleigh (5), and Shane (3).

Insurance costs for long-term health care are skyrocketing, with annual premiums more than doubling in some cases. What's going on? And, more important, what can you do about it if you have a long-term care policy or are considering buying one?
The rising premiums are evidence that insurance providers gambled on long-term policies — and lost.
The insurers underestimated just how quickly, and how high, the health care costs of aging boomers — their prime market — would increase. To compensate, 10 of the 20 biggest insurance companies have stopped selling new policies; the rest are charging more than ever for coverage.
(MORE: Should You Buy Long Term Care Insurance?)
In order to beat rising rates, you'll need to lower your coverage expectations and accept some trade-offs. (For the ABCs of long-term care insurance, read this Next Avenue primer.)

Why are people painting fire hydrants and why in a dark color that is not easily visible at night?
That question was answered when I saw who the painters were: People whose only concern is publicity.
Whatever their motives, they should know that color indicates that flow per minute on hydrants.
And, by the way, why are the firemen not doing the maintenance on fire hydrants instead of riding around in the fire trucks wasting expensive fuel?

Jeff Teague, Al Horford power Hawks past poor-shooting Bucks
ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks knew there was a team creeping up from behind in the playoff race.
They're focused on who's ahead of them.
Jeff Teague scored 27 points and Al Horford had 26, taking control after a sluggish first quarter to lead the Hawks past Milwaukee 98-90 on Wednesday night and stifle the Bucks' push in the Eastern Conference.
"We knew they've been playing well," Teague said. "They want to move up, but we want to move up, too. We're not looking at who's behind us."
Coming off an ugly loss to Dallas at Philips Arena, the Hawks picked up a much-needed win in their bid for home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. The Bucks still have a comfortable lead for the final playoff spot in the East but fell 3 1/2 games behind fifth-place Atlanta in the tightly bunched field, which is essentially the Miami Heat and everyone else.
"Teague and Horford did a really good job as far as attacking," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "When we executed what we were trying to do, we got some really good shots."
Teague scored 11 points in the second quarter and a dozen more in the third after being challenged at halftime by assistant Nick Van Exel. The Hawks went to the final period up 77-59, their biggest lead of the night.
Horford scored 10 points in the final period and finished with 15 rebounds, stepping up to help the Hawks hold off a Milwaukee comeback.
"We didn't finish as strong as we needed to," Horford said. "But the most important thing is we got the win."
Van Exel didn't say much to Teague at the half.
He didn't have to.
"He just said, `Come on," Teague said. "I knew what he meant. Pick up my play. Pick up my energy."
Led by Brandon Jennings with 21 points, Bucks closed to 94-90 with just under a minute to go. But Jennings missed a free throw that could have made it a one-possession game, then came up short on a tough jumper with Teague in his face. Josh Smith clinched it by making two free throws with 27.9 seconds left.
Smith also had a double-double, scoring just 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting but helping out with a season-high 16 rebounds. Devin Harris added 15 points.
The Bucks shot just 37 percent from the field, unable to take advantage even when the Hawks let them back in the game. Atlanta won despite turning it over 17 times, leading to 19 points for Milwaukee.
"This is a really good win for us," Drew said.
Larry Sanders had 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks, who had won eight of 11. J.J. Redick added 18 points and Mike Dunleavy had 10.
Milwaukee almost overcame a dismal third quarter.
"When you dig yourself a hole like that, you don't have to play perfectly, but almost," coach Jim Boylan said. "You need to come up with those key loose balls and those key opportunities and we just weren't able to do that tonight. We kept fighting and tried to work our way back. We just couldn't convert when we needed to."
Beforehand, Drew stressed the importance of the game and urged his team to have "playoff intensity from the beginning."
But, with a small, listless crowd looking on that included Super Bowl quarterback Colin Kaepernick, neither team played with much urgency in the opening quarter, which ended with the score tied at 18. The Hawks made only 6 of 20 from the field, while the Bucks were 8 of 32.
Teague came alive in the second, knocking down a couple of 3-pointers to help the Hawks to a 48-43 lead at the break. When the point guard continued to sink shots, Atlanta stretched the advantage throughout the third and appeared comfortably in front heading to the final period.
"Teague had an amazing game," Sanders said.
Milwaukee, which had beaten Portland at home the previous night, found some energy in the final period but couldn't finish.
"It was too late to put the pressure on," Sanders said. "The game was kind of over."
Game notes
The crowd of 11,920 was Atlanta's smallest home turnout since 10,162 for a game against Charlotte on Nov. 28. ... Kyle Korver extended his Hawks record to 61 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer. ... Kaepernick, who led San Francisco to a victory over Atlanta in the NFC title game, watched the game from a front-row seat at center court. Well, actually, he appeared to spend most of his time looking at his phone, though he did look up for the KissCam. ... Atlanta G DeShawn Stevenson went out in the first half with a lower right leg contusion. ... F Ersan Ilyasova (left hip pain) and F Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (sprained toe) did not make the trip for Milwaukee. ... These teams will see plenty of each other in the closing month of the season. They play again Sunday in Milwaukee, then finish up the season series in Atlanta on April 12.

ZF-5708: Zend_Http_Client does not have method to clean headers
Currently, there's no method that would reset the state of Zend_Http_Client , particularly that would clean all headers. While one can set and clean specific headers with setHeaders() and reset some state parts with resetParams(), full reset is impossible. This makes it very hard to reuse same client with same settings for multiple requests, and since many classes in Zend_Service_* still do so, it leads to various bugs.
We need to add either cleanup method or make resetParams() clean all headers, or have setHeaders somehow extended to clean all headers except for those set.
This other method should probably clear last_request and last_response as well, or what are you after? Would you also clear the entire "configuration" (e.g. uri, method, proxy, ...)?
I could do a patch if you gave me some feedback.
Fixed - now resetParameters(true) will reset headers and last_*

ZF-11800: </form> always included with form helper
This just happend when I upgrades to 1.11.11 is it is destroying all my forms. Hence the critical setting, for us who is using this extensively to create the form starter (but doing the form manually) this is critical.
The documentation states:
"form($name, $attribs, $content): Generates an XHTML form. All $attribs are escaped and rendered as XHTML attributes of the form tag. If $content is present and not a boolean FALSE, then that content is rendered within the start and close form tags; if $content is a boolean FALSE (the default), only the opening form tag is generated. "
So, if no content variable is set (or set to false) the should not be included. However, in 1.11.11 this does not work. Looking at the code, the last part of the helper looks like this:
if (false !== $content) { $xhtml .= $content; } $xhtml .= '';
So it is obvious that is included every time regardless of the value of $content. The code should be like this:
if (false !== $content) { $xhtml .= $content; $xhtml .= ''; }
See ZF-11747 (specifically, this comment)

Oregon OSHA, 350 Winter Street NE Room 430, Salem, Oregon 97301-3878
For immediate release:
Sept. 5, 2013
Contact information:
Melanie Mesaros, Public Information Officer
Oregon OSHA launches video series to educate young workers
Humor and song raise awareness about hazards
(Salem) – From singing restaurant workers to a quirky teacher passionate about lifting techniques, Oregon OSHA has created four videos to educate young workers about common workplace hazards.
The videos can be found on Oregon OSHA's website at www.orosha.org/subjects/young_worker.html and on YouTube.
The videos cover general awareness for teens about speaking up on the job, safe lifting, ladder safety, and restaurant safety. Austin Coburn, a 19-year-old summer intern at Oregon OSHA, created the videos. Coburn was the 2013 winner of the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition's "Speak Up. Work Safe." video contest for his video "Safety: The Musical."
Coburn, currently studying film at George Fox University, said he wanted to make young people aware of safety issues on the job and keep the messages entertaining.
"I relied on elements such as music and comedy that I knew teens could relate to," Coburn said. "The videos not only needed to teach the teens, but had to be memorable."
Workers age 25 and younger are more likely to be injured on the job, according to a 2005 study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
"It's important to reach young workers at the start of their career because they are forming safety habits and a perspective that will inform them in future years on the job," said Oregon OSHA Administrator Michael Wood. "Reaching them – getting their attention – requires creativity. We can't just rely on the same methods we've used for years."
Oregon OSHA, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, enforces the state's workplace safety and health rules and works to improve workplace safety and health for all Oregon workers. For more information, go to www.orosha.org.
The Department of Consumer and Business Services is Oregon's largest business regulatory and consumer protection agency. For more information, go to www.dcbs.oregon.gov.

I don't understand why this 'skeleton' template was removed. I guess some people are using this template. Please make a note in the documentation, that the 'skeleton' template is no longer available.
I think but sensible assign again the template skeleton.
Greetings Ramon
the "skeleton" cache template was removed to only have pre-defined templates which are usable without the need of additional configuration. -> Before you got an exception on getting the skeleton cache or on getting all defined caches. (implemented in r22727)
I'll update the documentation and create a migration part to this the next few days.
fixed in r23523 (trunk) & r23524 (1.11 branch)
