This is from one late night at Brother's house. We were all hanging in the living room and look over into the spare room and Ian (Crane) is in his undies and a transformer's mask. Maybe wrestling a bear? I don't know
This is at Carson Wach's house. We were outside and looked through the window and this is what's going on. The girls seem pretty excited about something.
Someone got a BB gun at a white elephant gift exchange. This is my cousin nailing beer cans from across the backyard.
Kolohe's dog Velzy. I love him more than anything. I like taking him on walks and throwing the ball for him or going squirrel hunting with my BB gun. Best dog ever.
Tyler Warren, some guys from Billabong and I were spending the day skating up in Venice Beach. That place is incredible. Probably the only place you can go do a few runs and then hang with predator.
Brother and I were in Hawaii with J.D. (Target Team Manager) at this super good burger joint. We were laughing at J.D. because he said he "broke his mouth" on the food. Weird.

College Hockey:Iona Extends Holy Cross Losing Streak
Williams' Four-Point Night Paces Gaels
WORCESTER, Mass. — Holy Cross returned from the semester break hoping to rebound from a losing streak, but instead suffered its sixth straight loss on Friday night to the Gaels of Iona.
Sophomore forward Brent Williams led the way for the Gaels, scoring four points on the night with one goal and three assists. Holy Cross dropped to 8-8 overall and 6-4 in the MAAC, while Iona improved to 4-11-1 overall, 4-6 MAAC.
The Gaels jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period on one power-play goal by Ryan Swanson, a shorthander by Ryan Manitowich, and an even-strength goal by Tim Krueckl.
Holy Cross counterattacked at the end of the period with two goals of its own with less than three minutes to play, by junior forward Jeff Dams and sophomore defenseman Tony Coskren .
In the second period, Iona struck again with what proved to be the game-winning goal at the 4:38 mark by Chad Van Diemen. The Crusaders pulled within one goal again at 4-3 when junior forward Greg Kealey capitalized on a power play, but would get no closer.
Iona tallied two more goals in the third period to round out the scoring.
Holy Cross outshot the Gaels by a remarkable 56-16 count, but could not manage to find the back of the net often enough. Freshman goalie Tony Quesada stopped 10 shots.
Iona's Ian Vigier recorded an overwhelming 53 saves, his career high, and second on the all-time Iona list.
Holy Cross and Iona are back in action Saturday afternoon in the second game of the two-game series.

Sparkling water, white grape juice concentrate, natural lemon and lime flavors with other natural flavors
Review: Lemon-Lime
Posted: Jun 22, 2005 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Jun 14, 2005 at 12:21 PM)Something went right at the flavor house for Knudsen in this drink, because you can actually taste lime, then lemon as you drink it. Not bad, although it's a bit too sweet due to the use of white grape juice concentrate as the only sweetening element. It could benefit from the use of lemon and lime juice as well as grape to cut that sweetness and give it a bit of zip. The can is mundane but attractive, with too many words on the front but nice pictures of a lemon and lime. Overall, it's worth a try, especially if you don't want to drink something with a ton of additives out of the cooler.


text: I've just recently gotten into the hobby of coin collecting, And I think I found an "Error coin", And I was wondering what it's average value would be.The error is in the mint-mark, For some reason my camera refuses to take extremely zoomed in shots, But from looking at the coin under a magnifying glass, It appears to be the "D" mint-mark, But for some reason the D is not hollow except for a tiny hole in the middle, It sort of looks like a doughnut. I'm not sure if it was double-struck or if it was struck again by a P mint-mark, I'm waiting to buy a better quality magnifying glass to check this.There does not appear to be any errors on the reverse side of the coin, But I also posted a photo of it in case I might have missed something.Hopefully these photos will be good enough to verify is this is an error coin or not. You can click the photos to expand them and get a better view of the mint-mark.Also, Thanks everyone, I have received a lot of help in the short time I have been here.

Industry Insiders Press for Flexible New Cyber Standards
Critical infrastructure experts are meeting again starting today to discuss the voluntary standards that are a part of this year's cybersecurity executive order. While those standards are far from finished, recently submitted feedback sheds some light on what industry insiders think about the new benchmarks.
Many submitting comments on the voluntary standards for so-called critical infrastructure firms emphasized that they wanted the new framework to be flexible, according to a report released earlier this month from the agency tasked with developing those standards, National Institute of Standards and Technology, analyzing the 243 submitted comments from such industry insiders as trade associations, consultants and individual companies.
The same sentiment was shared by some commenting recently through the federal rulemaking process on another component of the executive order, which asks agencies to look into cybersecurity standards for firms with which the federal government contracts.
"Reading in between the lines, a lot of the suggestions are 'please keep this voluntary, because once the standards become mandatory we become so compliance focused that it's hard to be flexible and adaptive,'" said Ahren Tryon, an attorney with Cozen O'Connor in Washington who works with critical infrastructure firms.
Some submitting comments on critical infrastructure standards were nervous about the potential cost of complying with a new set of standards. Many were concerned about any new standards conflicting with cybersecurity guidelines that were already in place within their respective industries, such as the electricity sector's NERC CIP guidelines; one-third of the comments mentioned employing existing best practices in the new guidelines.
"There's a lot of concern that this is already regulated, that there's already a lot out there, [and] you have to trust the private sector," said Stuart Levi, a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and co-head of the intellectual property and technology group, who noted some commenters' "gentle pushback to doing anything more."
IT-sector trade group the Information Technology Sector Coordinating Council said in its submission that "one-size fits all approaches fail to appreciate differences in unique business models, risk profiles, and resources and expertise between and within sectors. It also doesn't work for the dynamic nature of cyber threats; flexibility and agility are essential when managing cyber risks."
Those weighing in on whether or not cybersecurity standards should be incorporated into the federal government's procurement process shared similar concerns. The federal government should "avoid incorporating cybersecurity standards directly into contracts because it would serve to freeze the status quo," wrote TechAmerica, a trade group for technology companies.
As with other compliance objectives, new cybersecurity standards need to have buy-in from top executives, many writing in about the critical infrastructure topic said. "Securing management buy-in and ensuring leadership is involved demonstrates the importance of cybersecurity and conveys a serious message to employees," said John Hunt, principal for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in a submitted comment.
The second of four workshops intended to develop the voluntary cyber standards for critical infrastructure firms will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh on Wednesday through Friday.

You simply can't argue with that. If you try it can only be because you are affraid that kicking is nerfed so you can't 0wn using it anymore. 9 out of 10 a kicker will win against a player who doesn't kick. Sometimes it might take time... but winning is almost certain. The only thing you can do against kick is kicking back. The only reason we don't see everyone kicking is because most people want to use the saber because that is what makes this game fun. This gives those few people who only care about winning the opportunity to use the pull+kick+dfa technique... you don't even need the dfa and kicking itself is more useful since you can push while lying down. I would gladly play anyone and just use kick and they should just use their saber... Your skill doesn't matter because I block all your attacks while jumping.
The kick is risk free.
- With a normal attack you still execute the attack if you miss and that leaves you open.
- If you miss a kick you just jump and that is actually good for defence.
- kick has longer range than the saber and is faster than even blue.
- Kick goes right to your health... shield don't matter.
- If your opponent hit with a kick there is no defence like against a saber hit.

Suppose $\mathcal{C}$ is a Cartesian Closed Category. Letting $B^A$ denote the internal hom of $A$ and $B$ and $ev_B^A:B^A\times{}A\to{}B$ denote the evaluation morphism, there is a bifunctor
\begin{align*} E:\mathcal{C}^{op}\times\mathcal{C}&\to\mathcal{C}\\\\ (A,B)&\mapsto{}B^A\\\\ (f:A\stackrel{\mathcal{C}^{op}}{\to}{}A',g:B\to{}B')&\mapsto{}g^f:B^A\to{}(B')^{(A')} \end{align*}
where $g^f$ is the unique morphism such that
This functor is analogous to the hom bifunctor in many respects. In particular, we may transpose it to get the analogues to the covariant and contravariant Yoneda embeddings
\begin{align*} \mathcal{C}&\to{}\mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{C}^{op}}\\\\ B&\mapsto{}B^{(-)}\\\\ (g:B\to{}B')&\mapsto{}(g^A:B^A\to{}(B')^A)_{A\in{}Ob(\mathcal{C})} \end{align*}
\begin{align*} \mathcal{C}^{op}&\to{}\mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{C}}\\\\ A&\mapsto{}(-)^A\\\\ (f:A\stackrel{\mathcal{C}^{op}}{\to}{}A')&\mapsto{}(B^f:B^A\to{}B^{A'})_{B\in{}Ob(\mathcal{C}^{op})} \end{align*}
1) Neither of these functors are injective on objects. Consider the complete preorder on a nonempty set $X$ as a category. Now take a single selected element $x_0\in{}X$ as the product and exponential of every pair of objects.
2) The usual methods can be used to show that that each of these functors is faithful.
My question is the following: under what conditions can we conclude these functors are full?
One can attempt to use the usual argument, but I have only been able to show that the (necessarily unique) preimage of a natural transformation recovers the original transformation on $1$-elements (here, $1$ denotes a terminal object). This is because $B^f$ does not act exactly as precomposition, except on $1$-elements. As a result, these functors will be full if $1$ is a separator in $\mathcal{C}$, but this is a strong condition and I would be interested in other criteria.

JACKSON – The U.S. Census Bureau will increase its advertising efforts in the poverty-stricken Mississippi Delta to encourage people to respond.
Census Bureau director Robert M. Groves said Tuesday the agency is committed to an accurate count.
The Census is conducted once every 10 years and helps determine how federal dollars are spent. Officials use the updated population figures to reconfigure lines for districts in the U.S. House, the state House and Senate and for local offices such as county supervisors.
Graves met in Jackson last week with several groups concerned about an accurate count in the Delta, including Southern Echo and the Sunflower County Parents and Students Organization.

When Melissa Ruigrok was growing up, she would rather shop 'til she dropped than try to drop putts.
"I grew up as the only girl with three brothers and they along with my dad all golfed. I didn't understand their love of the sport," said Ruigrok, the co-ordinator for Executive Golf's Monday Night Ladies Indoor League at Golf-O-Max. "I actually thought it was kind of a 'stupid' sport because I had only played team sports. We travelled to many places on family vacations where I would chose to shop over golf until just a few years ago."
That's when a friend turned her on to the social upsides of the game and she caught the golfing bug.
"About seven or eight years ago a girlfriend called me and asked if I would come and spare with her golf team in a Monday night ladies league in Perth, with the promise of lots of laughs and cold beer. I did," Ruigrok said. "The rest is history. The first few years were purely for social golfing/drinking, then I started golfing more on my own with friends and family and now I could golf everyday if my finances permitted."
A move to Ottawa, where she's resided now for more than five years, sparked her search for a place to play since driving all the way back to Perth for shotgun starts on Monday nights became a pain.
At first, Ruigrok found it difficult to find a golf club that was (1) affordable and (2) not crazy competitive, yet would still help improve her game.
"I stumbled across the EG website two years ago using a web search for ladies leagues in Ottawa. A friend and I signed up and have been members playing both indoors and outdoors ever since. And now I have even taken on the ladies league co-ordinator role for both as well," she said. "EG allows me to essentially golf once a week all year round. EG is a great league because people can use the pay-as-you-go option at a reasonable price.
"And being an EG member means I get awesome discounts at other courses as well as additional member perks. It's nice that EG does not require that players come out with experience or a team, as this could turn away people who just want to play for the fun of it."
Ruigrok says the EG ladies indoor and outdoor leagues look to attract golfers of all ability levels.
"We are always looking for new ladies to join us. I send out weekly e-mails and all everyone need do is message me back at email@example.com to let me know if they can make it or not. I set up the entire evening for the players, who don't need to have any experience playing golf, a membership or a team.
"We've found that once women give it a try they usually become return players and many even become EG members. We have a lot of fun and learn from each other. It's not always all about the golf. We laugh, socialize, and make new friends every Monday night. It's just a night out with the ladies."
Favourite golfers: Growing up in a house full of boys, I would say my two favourite golfers are Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
Favourite holes: Any ninth or 18th because both usually head toward the clubhouse and that means cold beer refills.
Favourite golf clubs: Silvertip in Canmore, Alberta or Priddis Greens, Alberta. I grew up out west and both of those courses are absolutely breathtaking.
Favourite food: Pizza and poutine hands down.
Favourite TV show: I will watch the odd Bachelor or House Hunters episode. I love to see all the different places they either travel to or live in around the world.

Let's say we have a web-app and there's an automated/under-the-hood process which updates the DB. At the moment, they all ran in the same server.
We'd like to separate the batch-process from the apache activity and the DB:
- server 1: webserver - floating/surges of CPU load and BW consumption
- server 2: dbserver - floating I/O from webserver and steady/heavy I/O from batch-process
- server 3: batch-process - steady/low CPU load and steady/heavy BW
One solution would be to set up 3 VPS (say at Slicehost/Rackspace for example).
Or should we go Cloud? Say Amazon EC2: setting up 3 EC2 instances is really overkill, isn't it? And if I port all the 3 "servers" into 1 EC2 instance, will we gain as much reliability as a 3 VPS solution? (consider 1 EC2 = 1 VPS 1.6GB 1/1.2 GHz Opteron/Xeon)
What are the differences/advantages of each solution (1EC2 or 3VPS)?

I hope this posts correctly:The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes).Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word "diag" should then appear.4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)SP = speedometerT = tachometer6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC's the code will be displayed or the word "none" will appear if there are no DTC's. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.7 - Record the codes.8 - If DTC's are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC's again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.9 – Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.--------------------------DTC FAULT CONDITION MODULEB0563 Battery Voltage High TSM/TSSMB1004 Fuel Level Sending Unit Low InstrumentsB1005 Fuel Level Sending Unit High/Open InstrumentsB1006 Accessory Line Overvoltage InstrumentsB1007 Ignition Line Overvoltage InstrumentsB1008 Reset Switch Closed InstrumentsB1131 Alarm Output Low TSM/TSSMB1132 Alarm Output High TSM/TSSMB1134 Starter Output High TSM/TSSMB1135 Accelerometer Fault TSM/TSSMB1151 Sidecar BAS Low TSM/TSSMB1152 Sidecar BAS High TSM/TSSMB1153 Sidecar BAS Out of Range TSM/TSSMP0106 MAP Sensor Rate of Range Error CarbP0107 Map Sensor Failed Open/Low CarbP0107 Map Sensor Open/Low EFIP0108 Map Sensor Failed High CarbP0108 Map Sensor High EFIP0112 IAT Sensor Voltage Low EFIP0113 IAT Sensor Voltage Open/High EFIP0117 ET Sensor Voltage Low EFIP0118 ET Sensor Voltage Open/High EFIP0122 TP Sensor Open/Low EFIP0123 TP Sensor High EFIP0261 Front Injector Open/Low EFIP0262 Front Injector High EFIP0263 Rear Injector Open/Low EFIP0264 Rear Injector High EFIP0373 CKP Sensor Intermittent CarbP0373 CKP Sensor Intermittent EFIP0374 CKP Sensor Not Detected CarbP0374 CKP Sensor Synch Error EFIP0501 VSS Low CarbP0501 VSS Low EFIP0502 VSS High/Open CarbP0502 VSS High/Open EFIP0505 Loss of Idle Sped Control EFIP0562 Battery Voltage Low CarbP0562 Battery Voltage Low EFIP0563 Battery Voltage High CarbP0563 Battery Voltage High EFIP0602 Calibration Memory Error CarbP0603 EEPROM Failure CarbP0603 ECM EEPROM Error EFIP0604 RAM Failure CarbP0605 Program Memory Error CarbP0605 ECM Flash Error EFIP0607 Converter Error CarbP1001 System Relay Coil Open/Low EFIP1002 System relay Coil High/Shorted EFIP1003 System relay Contacts Open EFIP1004 System Relay Contacts Closed EFIP1009 Incorrect Password CarbP1009 Incorrect Password EFIP1010 Missing Password CarbP1010 Missing Password EFIP1351 Front Ignition Open/Low CarbP1351 Front Ignition Open/Low EFIP1352 Front Ignition Coil High/Shorted CarbP1352 Front Ignition Coil High/Shorted EFIP1353 Front Cylinder No Combustion EFIP1354 Rear Ignition Coil Open/Low CarbP1354 Rear Ignition Coil Open/Low EFIP1355 Rear Ignition Coil High/Shorted CarbP1355 Rear Ignition Coil High/Shorted EFIP1356 Rear Cylinder No Combustion EFIP1357 Intermittent Secondary Front EFIP1358 Intermittent Secondary Rear EFIU1016 Loss of ICM/ECM Serial Data InstrumentsU1016 Loss of ECM Serial Data, Vehicle Speed, Vehicle Inhibit Motion or Powertrain Security Status TSM/TSSMU1064 Loss of TSM/TSSM Serial Data CarbU1064 Loss of TSM/TSSM Serial Data EFIU1064 Loss of TSM/TSSM Serial Data InstrumentsU1097 Loss of Speedometer Serial data CarbU1097 Loss of Speedometer Serial data EFIU1097 Loss of Speedometer Serial data TSM/TSSMU1255 Missing Message at Speedometer EFIU1255 Serial Data Error/Missing Message EFIU1255 Serial Data Error/Missing Message InstrumentsU1255 Serial Data Error/Missing Message TSM/TSSMU1300 Serial Data Low CarbU1300 Serial Data Low EFIU1300 Serial Data Low InstrumentsU1300 Serial Data Low TSM/TSSMU1301 Serial Data Open/High CarbU1301 Serial Data Open/High EFIU1301 Serial Data Open/High InstrumentsU1301 Serial Data Open/High TSM/TSSM-----------------------AFR – Air Fuel RatioATS – Air Temperature SensorBAS – Bank Angle SensorCCM – Cruise Control ModuleCKP – Crank Position Sensor.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The semi-trailers that haul the University of Iowa football team's equipment to each road venue took on a much larger role for the people in tornado-stricken Oklahoma.
Mike Riggan, the president of TanTara Transportation Corporation from Muscatine, Iowa, and the designer/driver of the Hawkeye football semis, led the efforts in collecting food and other goods to assist the areas affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. The items were delivered to a Food Bank today, where members of the Oklahoma football team offered their assistance.
"On behalf of myself, Carol and everyone at the University of Oklahoma, we really appreciate the generosity of the people of the state of Iowa," said OU head coach and former Hawkeye Bob Stoops. "It's really incredible that the people of Iowa brought truckloads of food here to the Food Bank.
"I spent 10 years -- five playing and five as a young assistant at Iowa -- and to see the Iowa Hawkeye trucks here is pretty special."
UI head coach Kirk Ferentz reached out to Stoops a week ago, filling him in on Riggan's plan on collecting the goods and delivering them to Oklahoma.
"Kirk called me and said `Hey, we want to send a couple of trucks down to help the people in Oklahoma,' said Stoops. "(Mike Riggan) has the Iowa football trucks heading that way. Can you have some guys help unload it or will you be there?' I said, `Absolutely.'
The timing of the delivery of goods ended up corresponding with the return of the Sooner players to campus for summer classes and workouts.
"I've got all my big linemen (out helping)," said Stoops. "They're the right ones to unload a truck. We've got all them up to try and help out. We'll continue to do what we can and try to jump in and help people in different ways."
Stoops is an 1983 graduate of the University of Iowa, while his wife, Carol, is also an Iowa alum and a native of Cresco, Iowa.

College Hockey:Clarkson Gets Consolation For Weekend Effort
Kuntz Picks Up Two Goals In Win
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — After a disappointing loss to Cornell the evening before, Clarkson picked up where it had left off last weekend, scoring five goals, including two on the power play, en route to a 5-3 victory over Colgate in the consolation game of the Syracuse Invitational Tournament.
"Each time we lost a little momentum, we seemed to find a way to get another [goal], whereas yesterday we didn't," commented coach Mark Morris. "We had a chance last night to distance ourselves from the opposition, and it didn't happen, but tonight it did. We're such a young team, and we're still learning how to win."
The most crucial momentum swing came in the second period, as one of Clarkson's young players stepped up to swing the momentum back in the Knights' favor.
After Colgate had knotted the game at three-all, freshman forward Mike Nagai picked up his first collegiate goal at the 12:34 mark of the second period, just 43 seconds after Colgate's goal. Nagai took up position on the left side of goaltender Jason LeFevre, and waited as teammate Tristian Lush sent a pass across the ice in front. Nagai had a clean shot at the back of the net, giving the Golden Knights back the lead, 4-3.
"We've battled, scraped, and clawed our way back into games, only to give up what I consider a bad goal," said coach Don Vaughan. "We went back to just playing passively in our own end. Give them credit, they executed, they made a great pass back-door, but we've gotta do a better job of making sure that pass doesn't get there."
With the exception of being announced as the Niagara Purple Eagles, things could have been worse for Colgate.
Clarkson struck first in the contest, with a goal by defenseman Dave Reid at the 6:44 mark of the first period. As Kent Huskins skated into the Colgate zone with the puck, he faked a shot and skated around a defender to get a better look at the goal. The shot from Huskins was saved by goaltender David Cann, but the rebound found its way out to Reid, who took the shot from the top of the right faceoff circle, and put the puck past Cann to make the score 1-0.
The Golden Knights picked up their second goal minutes later. Chris Bahen fed the puck to Gasper Sekelj in the slot. Sekelj took the shot and beat Cann for a 2-0 Clarkson lead.
After the second Clarkson goal, Colgate pulled Cann out of the game in favor of LeFevre. On the evening, Cann allowed two goals on five shots.
As the period wore on, Clarkson wasn't playing with the same tenacity as in the first minutes of the period. With the door open, Colgate was able to pick up its first goal of the game at the 14:45 mark.
Kyle Doyle had the puck behind goaltender Shawn Grant, and passed it to teammate Etienne Morin in front. With both the puck and the opportunity to score, Morin took the shot and beat Grant, making it a 2-1 game.
The second period began for Clarkson as it left off in the first: on the power play. Clarkson wasted little time, and just 26 seconds into the period, Murray Kuntz picked up his first goal of the game. Huskins passed the puck in front of the net to Kuntz, and Kuntz lifted the puck over LeFevre, a power-play goal that increased the lead to 3-1.
Colgate didn't roll over and die, but began to mount a comeback.
2:12 into the second period, P.J. Yedon received a pass from Scooter Smith at the blue line, skated in along the boards, and took the shot that beat Grant right-side along the ice, cutting the lead to 3-2.
At the 10:04 mark, Reid went off the ice on a tripping penalty, and Colgate used the man advantage to pick up its third goal of the game as Sean Nolan redirected a shot from teammate Dan Stay to even the contest at three. However, the lead did not last, as just 43 seconds later Clarkson regained the lead for good on Nagai's goal.
In the third period, Golden Knight fans got a scare when Shawn Grant went down on the ice. Colgate's Paul Kelley skated into the Clarkson zone, and was unable to stop as he upended Grant and went into the net. Grant went down hard on the ice and looked to be in pain. Fortunately for Clarkson, Grant was fine, and he finished the game without incident.
Clarkson picked up their fifth goal of the game at the 8:22 mark of the third, as Kuntz got his second goal of the game. David Evans fed the puck to Kuntz, who was waiting at the doorstep of the goal. Kuntz had an open look at the goal, and beat LeFevre before he could close the hole, a power-play goal sealing the game at 5-3.
Both teams resume league play next weekend, as Colgate hosts Princeton and Yale, while Clarkson hosts Brown and Harvard.

I have two old trees covered in a dark green ivy. My neighbour told me to remove the ivy or it would kill the tree (choke it). Is this true? From Bichon26
Adam says: I agree with your neighbour. Our native ivy, Hedera helix, is a rampant climber, and can cause problems to trees, particularly if they are old or not growing strongly. While some might argue that ivy can grow on healthy trees without causing a problem, I would never recommend growing ivy on a tree in your garden.
Although ivy is unlikely to completely smother all the branches on a tree it will do a good job trying. Ivy is an evergreen climber, and a large head of ivy acts rather like a sail by catching the wind. During strong storms it's often ivy-clad trees that topple, as while bare branches can bend or even break, when ivy catches the wind the force can pull the tree down.
Cut through ivy stems at their base, and remove all the ivy you can. And if anyone has ivy about to clamber up walls or buildings I'd recommend removing this too.
I can't seem to control my neighbour's cat from using my raised veg beds as their loo. Please help! From lucinda.anne
Adam says: Yes, cats cause problems in gardens in more ways than one, killing birds and leaving their mess everywhere. Unfortunately most cats appear to avoid making a mess in their own gardens, but move into neighbouring gardens instead!
I've had this problem on several occasions in the past, and have found that liberally scattering strong smelling cat deterrents in places that cats frequent does keep them away. I've successfully used products containing garlic as well as those with citrus oil.
A gardening friend of mine recommends using any strong-smelling floral soaps, and grating these blocks around his plot. Others have used chilli or pepper powder in the same way. However, applications must be repeated after rain has washed them away.
I have just boxed-off an area of my back garden to grow some vegetables. I am unsure what sort of topsoil/compost I should put into the boxes. Could you please advise me. From steff43
Adam says: Vegetables enjoy a rich and water-retentive but free-draining fertile soil. I would always prefer buying good quality loamy topsoil to fill raised beds, and then digging in extra ingredients if needed.
Check for local suppliers, and try to see a sample before buying it. Avoid buying any that appears very stony or contains weeds. Feel the quality in your hands to gauge its composition, and moisten a handful to see how much clay, loam, sand, grit or organic matter it contains. You could also use a simple soil test kit to check its pH (acidity/alkalinity), as the ideal soil should have a neutral pH of around pH6.5.
You can always add extra grit to improve drainage, or extra home-made compost to increase water holding capacity. If you only need a small quantity then buy bags of John Innes No.3 loam-based compost to fill the beds.
What should I do with one of my compost bins that is full of woodlice? Can I just carry on topping up with kitchen peelings, grass cuttings, weeds(?), leaves and newspaper? Will they affect my plants when used later, or discard the whole lot to be safe? From J.Davey
Adam says: Don't worry about finding woodlice in your compost bin or around your garden. These little creatures rarely do any damage to healthy plants, but feed on dead and decaying plant material. You'll find them wherever you have rotting vegetation, as woodlice play an important part in the natural cycle of turning dead plants into compost.
Mixing your compost may deter them a little, and you should be doing this anyway. Every few months it pays to empty your compost bin, mix up the material and refill, leaving it a little longer for everything to fully break down before using around your garden.
While the composting process is completing in one bin you should start filling a second one with the material you describe. It's far better to do this than continually adding fresh material to the top of one bin, and hope to dig out perfect compost from that little door in the base.
We've set our hearts on a couple of trees we'd like to plant to remember my wife's Mum and Dad, who passed away within weeks of one another. They are the Persian Sil Tree (Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate') and Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa). Both are unusual, attractive, but can grow to about 5 metres. Could we keep them shorter that this, or should we try for ones grown on a dwarf stock? From kia-cat
Adam says: What a lovely idea, but you have chosen two trees that can reach a fair size. If you only have space for small trees then I'd certainly recommend you reconsider to see whether alternative small trees would be better. These could include varieties of maple, crab apple, Amelanchier lamarckii, cornus, or flowering shrubs like one of the many ornamental viburnums, but there are many others.
It's a matter of 'right plant, right place', and I always prefer letting trees achieve their own natural size and shape with the minimum interference at all. Pruned trees look like 'pruned trees', and lose some of their natural beauty.
With that said, it is possible to prune Paulownia hard down every year to keep it to a manageable size. This type of pruning is often called coppicing or pollarding, and involves cutting all stems down to a woody base in late winter, before growth begins. With Paulownia this hard pruning encourages strong new shoots to develop from the woody base that carry large leaves, but you won't get any flowers.
I hard prune several shrubs in my garden in the same way each year, including buddleia, dogwood and sambucus. Albizia can also be pruned, but not as severely as Paulownia.
Last year I bought 1000 double early tulips and planted them in November. I was very excited about them coming up, but sadly about 30% of them are budding near ground level. Will they shoot up? What's wrong with them? From viji
Adam says: There could be a number of reasons for this to happen. Firstly, I wonder whether all your tulips were the same variety, or was this a mixture of different ones. If so, different varieties could have responded differently. I'm not sure where you live, or what soil you have, but November can be quite late in the year to plant tulips in very cold districts. Wet soils and cold weather can be detrimental to bulb development, and many of us experienced quite cold conditions last winter. This can influence flower production and development. And what about planting depth? Tulip bulbs can be planted fairly deeply, particularly if bulbs are being left to establish. I'd recommend planting bulbs of most large tulip varieties at least 15cm deep, and even down to 20cm if you can manage. Deeper planting should also reduce the influence of winter frost and cold on flower development.
In summary, if correctly planted then I think the poor development is probably physiological. Provided their leaves appear green and healthy then I don't think disease is to blame. While they won't recover this spring I would give the bulbs a generous liquid feed, allowing them to complete their growing cycle and die down naturally. Next spring I'm sure they'll flower beautifully. Do let me know.

I have a large NFS share with a variety of software ISOs on it.
I've only tried this on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but when trying to do the following, the
mount comes back with an error indicating no permissions to mount. Why would this be happening?
NFS is mounted thusly:
mediaserver:path/to/isos /media/nfs
This is the
mount call that fails
mount -o loop /media/nfs/product.iso /tmp/product
If I copy the ISO, there is no issue. The NFS share is mounted rw.
How can I loop mount the ISO from the NFS share without copying it first?

Typhoon Bopha killed at least 600 people and left many more missing after floods and landslides hit the country.
12:05, UK, Monday 10 December 2012
More than 600 people have now been killed as a result of Typhoon Bopha in the Philippines, which has left millions more without food and shelter.
At least 900 people remain missing, including 300 fishermen as landslides and floods obliterated entire communities in the south of the country.
Civil defence chief Benito Ramos said the fishermen were headed to the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea and to the Pacific Ocean.
Many of those missing could be among the hundreds of unidentified bodies, many of them bloated beyond recognition, Mr Ramos said.
The United Nations has launched a £40m ($65m) global aid appeal to help the thousands affected.
The UN will provide an immediate aid package as well as long-term support for the southern region of Mindanao which has been hardest hit by Typhoon Bopha.
"Five million people were affected and they need express assistance," Imogen Wall, spokeswoman for the UN, has said.
"Priority needs are food, water and shelter but there's also a big emphasis on helping people's livelihood," she said.
The region will need sustained assistance for at least six months, she added.
A number of villages are still completely cut off and not receiving any aid a week after the typhoon struck.
Nearly 400,000 people have lost their homes and are crowded inside evacuation centres.
Relief workers have reported looting of shops in at least one hard-hit town on Mindanao's east coast. Homeless people without a space in government shelters have been reduced to begging on roadsides.
A 5.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the typhoon-devastated region on Monday showed the precarious situation survivors face, although the quake was too deep to cause any damage.

As part of a larger research project about right-wing extremism and its causes and countermeasures, this article assesses the quality of existing evaluation studies in Switzerland, Germany, the US and other countries in order to synthesize their results. It presents the results of a meta-evaluation of measures against right-wing extremism in areas including education and social work. The meta-evaluation follows the professional evaluation standards of the Swiss Evaluation Society (SEVAL Standards). Analysis of the quality of selected evaluation studies in the field of measures against right-wing extremism allows for an assessment of the value of their results. The meta-evaluation covers 12 evaluation reports, enabling a description of the current practice of evaluation of measures taken against right-wing extremism in selected countries. The article also presents evidence about the usefulness of the SEVAL Standards in an applied setting. Thus the article provides background information on both evaluation of measures against right-wing extremism and the applicability of evaluation standards.

DES MOINES – The recent obscenity conviction of a manga collector on child porn possession charges has comic shops and readers running scared.
As reported last week by AVN.com, Iowa manga collector Christopher Handley pleaded guilty to importing and possessing the stylized comic books that included images of child sex abuse and bestiality.
Handley was arrested in May, 2006 when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intercepted a package of manga comics, containing, the Fed said, "visual representations of the sexual abuse of children, specifically Japanese manga drawings of minor females being sexually abused by adult males and animals."
As Wired.com reports, the 39-year-old office worker is the first person to be convicted under the 2003 PROTECT act, which makes it illegal to buy or own "cartoons, drawings, sculptures or paintings depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct," and also do not have "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
Handley now faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
Comic fans and experts have said the case is not related to genuine child porn or preventing the sexual abuse of children.
"This art that this man possessed as part of a larger collection of manga, is now the basis for [a sentence] designed to protect children from abuse," Charles Brownstein, executive director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, told Wired.com. "The drawings are not obscene and are not tantamount to pornography. They are lines on paper."
Handley's attorney, Eric Chase, added the federal act is "probably the only law I'm aware of, if a client shows me a book or magazine or movie, and asks me if this image is illegal, I can't tell them."
According to Chase, Handley has collected all types of manga for years and this was just a small part of his collection. It was about owning every type and had nothing to do with sexual proclivities, the lawyer said.
Chase did not believe a jury would acquit Handley once the graphic images were viewed in court, so he advised his client to plea bargain.
The questionable comics fell into a category of "Lolicon," a play on "Lolita," featuring young-looking girls in all manner of sexual activity, hardcore and beyond.
"This stuff is huge in Japan, in all of Asia," said manga expert Frenchy Lunning, of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, who was a consultant in the case. She's adamant that Handley "is not a pedophile. He had no photographs of child pornography."
Handley is free while a sentencing date is scheduled. Meanwhile, some comics shops randomly called around the country confirmed they are pulling certain titles from their adult-only section.
As DailyKos notes, because Japanese law forbids illustrations of pubic hair, there is no way to determine the age of a character in manga, adding that it is just a drawing, not a picture/photo of a real person.
In the wake of the Handley ruling the site commented, "anyone who reads any form of media that depicts any sort of sexual contact that involve minors, be it literature, comics, manga, film, television, music, theatre or otherwise is guilty of a crime punishable by 15 years of jail."
Now that manga has been targeted, one also has to wonder if porn anime will be next.
For more details on this case, please see Mark Kernes' AVN.com report.

Many groups like The African American Outdoor Association (AAOA) encourage and support increasing fitness, health, and wellness for the African American community through vigorous outdoor activities. Part of The AAOA's mission is to convince African Americans that outdoor recreation can combat high rates of heart disease, diabetes, and strokes.
All forms of outdoor recreation are encouraged, from hiking, cycling, climbing, to backpacking and camping. The following associations prefer various forms of watersports like canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting and even scuba diving.
Some of these organize programs in several states across the country. According to Heru-Ka Abu, the founder and director of Journey Outdoors "We conduct activities in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Alabama, Colorado, South Dakota, and California." In addition, "We receive inquiries about forming branches across the country. This year we plan to do just that. If you are interested in bringing Journey Outdoors to your neck of the woods contact us and we will get the process underway as quickly as possible."

Although kayaking seems to be a sport for the young, it is still a lifelong sport that anyone enjoys. It is a sport anyone can enjoy, because it is not about strength or even about ability. It is about the desire to travel the everyday. It is about discovery
WOW! What Are You Waiting For?
It is a sense of freedom that I never experienced before. Now I only wish that I could Kayak every day and convince everybody what a great thrill it is. It really is like entering another free of all the stress and worry of that other life.
Bill Pinkney Sailing Solo
In June 1992, Bill Pinkney became one of the first black men to sail solo around the world.
His 22-month-long voyage covered 27,000 miles and took him around the five southern capes, including Cape Horn at the tip of South America, one of the most difficult sailing passages in the world. When he arrived at Boston Harbor, after having successfully circumnavigated the globe, Pinkney became the fourth American to achieve this feat.
A Chicago native and former public relations executive, the 56 year old Pinkney sailed on a 47-foot cutter named The Commitment – his commitment to his dream of sailing around the world solo, and to the schoolchildren who followed his voyage via computer and television. The sailboat, which was designed for a seven-person crew, had been specially outfitted so he could handle it alone. Pinkney had originally planned to sail an easier route, through the Panama and Suez canals, but another sailor convinced him his trip would be considered more significant if he sailed the more difficult southern route around the five capes.

No. 16 Softball Splits On Day 1 Of Speedline Inv.
March 6, 2003
March 6, 2003
PLANT CITY, Fla. - The 16th-ranked University of Massachusetts softball team (6-4) defeated North Carolina (10-10), 8-0 in six innings and fell to No. 4 Washington (19-0-1), 1-0 in eight innings today in first round action of the Speedline Invitational hosted by the University of South Florida.
In game one of the day, UMass struck quickly with two runs in the first inning and that would be all sophomore pitcher Kelli Arnold (Kalama, Wash.) would need. UMass did not record a hit in the inning as the Tar Heel pitcher surrendered three walks and there was an error. Senior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.) scored on a wild pitch and sophomore Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.) crossed the plate after a passed ball.
The UMass bats got going in the fifth inning as it scored three runs on two hits. After walks by juniors KC Budrewicz (Buckland, Mass.) and Aisha Franke (Philadelphia, Pa.), Rubustelli bunted the two runners into scoring position setting the stage for Puglia's first career home run. The three-run blast gave UMass a 5-0 lead. She also recorded a RBI single in the sixth inning for the third run of the frame putting UMass up 8-0. Robustelli and Franke also drove in a run apiece in the inning.
On the mound, Arnold (1-0) held North Carolina to just one hit in six innings. She struck out three and walked two.
In the second game, UMass gave undefeated and fourth-ranked Washington all it could handle. Through six innings, the game was still scoreless and the Minutewomen had not yet been able to pound out a hit off Husky ace Tia Bollinger. UMass senior Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) was equally as impressive, yielding just two hits while striking out seven through six. In the bottom of the sixth, UW had runners at first and second with one out, but Holtz was able to work out of the jam courtesy of a double-play.
UMass senior Brandi Cross (Diamond Bar, Calif.) led off the top of the seventh inning with a single ending Bollinger's bid for a no-hitter. Freshman Kristi Stefanoni (Columbus, N.J.), who pinch ran for Cross, moved to second base on a bunt by freshman KJ Kelley (Rainier, Ore.). Holtz then singled up the middle, but Stefanoni was gunned down at the plate by the Husky centerfielder.
Washington was able to score the games only run in the bottom of the eighth inning with the international tiebreaker and remain un defeated. Holtz (2-3) took the tough loss, scattering five hits and striking out a career-high seven batters.
UMass will play Hofstra at 10:00 a.m. and Ball State at 12:00 p.m. in the second day of action at the Speedline Invitational on Friday, March 7. The tournament will continue through Sunday, March 9.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
While some experts recommend against dry cat foods, others say that it is fine as long as you make sure that your cat is getting plenty of moisture from other sources. However, it's important to pick a species-appropriate dry food. Most dry cat foods are made largely from grain, with little fresh meat (if any). Some experts say that can cause obesity, diabetes and other diseases in cats, which are strict carnivores that haven't evolved to eat much grain.
But a few companies make dry cat foods that are mostly high-grade meat -- and no grain. Among those, Orijen's dry cat food is easily the best you can buy, experts say. This Canadian company hires Canadian farmers and fishermen to deliver the ingredients fresh daily: wild-caught fish, cage-free chicken and turkey, as well as fruits and veggies. Orijen blends in organs, cartilage and wildflower botanicals to mimic whole prey and wild forage.
But while there's no grain in sight, Orijen dry cat foods can be pricey. Orijen Cat and Kitten Formula (Est. $65 for a 15-lb. bag) is the least expensive variety; slightly pricier varieties are Orijen 6 Fish (Est. $70 for a 15-.lb bag) cat food followed by Orijen Regional Red (Est. $75 for a 15-lb. bag), which lists "boneless wild boar" as its first ingredient.
Other grain-free or otherwise good quality cat foods rate nearly as highly as Orijen, but at a lower price. Wellness Core Grain Free Original Formula (Est. $40 for a 12-lb. bag) earns a perfect rating from one top expert. Its ingredients are all human-grade, this expert points out -- and its top ingredients are all quality meat proteins (deboned turkey and chicken, followed by chicken, whitefish and herring meals). Wellness' meat meals contain no byproducts, and its fish meals use only natural preservatives. Wellness includes proteinated minerals (for better absorption) and probiotics (friendly bacteria) to promote good digestion and immunity.
Franny Syufy, About.com's guide to cats, ranks Wellness Core and Innova Evo Turkey & Chicken (Est. $40 for a 5.4-lb. bag) , a similar and similarly well-regarded dry cat food, at the top of her list of the best dry cat foods. "In my opinion, Wellness Core is neck-and-neck with Innova Evo in providing a dry food closely aligned to a raw diet, and my cats enjoyed both equally," she writes. Still, she notes that she has switched her cats to an all-canned diet to avoid dry-food-related health problems.
While grain-free, both Wellness Core and Innova Evo have higher carbs from other sources compared to Orijen. Wellness Core cat food has a clean recall record, but the company's wet food was recalled in 2011 over a deficiency in vitamin B1. In addition, one variety of Wellness dry dog food was recalled in 2012 over possible salmonella contamination at the Diamond Pet Food where it was made, and Wellness cut all ties with Diamond after that incident. EVO sidestepped the Diamond Pet Food recall, but was itself recalled in 2013 after salmonella was detected in samples of its cat food.
If you are on a budget, but still would like to feed your cat something notably better than typical supermarket kibble, Taste of the Wild cat foods deserve a look. Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula (Est. $30 for a 15-lb. bag) is grain-free, but costs less than Wellness or EVO -- and about half as much as Orijen. It's byproduct- and soy-free, too. "Chicken meal" is the main ingredient. That's ground meat and bone, and as long as it's high-quality, experts say it's a good protein source. Fruits and veggies add nutrients, proteinated minerals are easy to absorb, and probiotics promote good digestion -- just like the pricey cat foods. Trout leads the ingredient list for Taste of the Wild Canyon River Trout (Est. $30 for a 15-lb. bag), with "ocean fish meal" as the second ingredient.
But Taste of the Wild does cut some costs to get its low price. Peas and potatoes appear high on the ingredient list of Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain, and is nearly as high in the Canyon River flavor; some experts say these are quality ingredients, but others say cats simply don't need all those carbs.
Taste of the Wild also doesn't enjoy a spotless recall record and Taste of the Wild's dry cat food varieties were part of the 2012 Diamond Pet Food Salmonella recall. Taste of the Wild hasn't been recalled since, but some pet owners wrote scathing reviews of the food at the time. However, plenty of others say their cats have been thriving on Taste of the Wild for years, and most give it rave reviews.

UMass Wins Second Consecutive Atlantic 10 Tournament
Nov. 9, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts field hockey program won its 14th Atlantic 10 Tournament Title with a 2-1 victory over Richmond at Garber Field on Saturday afternoon. Senior Hannah Prince and freshman Izzie Delario recorded a goal each, with Delario providing an assist for a three-point performance.
Freshman Cliodhna Loughlin and senior Alexa Sikalis also earned one assist apiece while sophomore goalkeeper Sam Carlino provided one save and Prince earned a defensive stop.
UMass improved to 18-4 with the victory, its most wins in a single season since the 2000 team finished with 19. Richmond fell to 14-6 overall with the defeat.
Following completion of the game, Lauren Allymohamed was named the Atlantic 10 Championship's Most Outstanding Player along with receiving a nod on the All-Tournament Team with Delario, Prince and Sikalis.
Prince provided the first goal of the day through a penalty corner attempt. Delario inserted the play to Sikalis near the top of the circle before Sikalis pushes a short pass to Prince. The Gorham, Maine, native sent a flick shot into the right side of the cage five minutes, 45 seconds into the contest to build the Minutewomen a 1-0 lead.
Richmond nearly evened the contest during the 14th minute; however, staunch defensive plays from Carlino and Prince kept the Spiders from earning a goal during back-to-back high percentage scoring chances. At the 13:12 mark of the game, Taylor Deitrick broke through the Minutewomen backline with possession and shifted toward the right post, but Carlino was able to drop to the ground to block the cage on Deitrick's initial shot. Deitrick corralled the rebound and lifted an attempt over the prone Carlino, only for Prince to step in front and knock the play down.
Delario followed with her eighth tally of the year at the 14:45 mark to double the UMass advantage. Loughlin created the play as the freshman dribbled into the circle and fired the ball toward Richmond goalkeeper Anna Zarkoski. Delario deflected the attempt deflected up into the air at the goalmouth and tipped it into the back of the cage from the left post to make it a 2-0 game.
The Spiders answered with a tally of their own only 1:46 later to shrink the UMass advantage to 2-1. Amy Cookie converted a penalty corner try following an insert by Christina Amorose and stop by Helen Warner.
However, the Minutewomen defense kept Richmond from finding the equalizer over the remainder of the game, led by backline startersMariajose Rodriguez, Prince and Allymohamed. UMass kept the Spiders from attempting another on-target shot following their goal, a span of 53 minutes, 29 seconds.
Each side recorded eight shots while Richmond led in penalty corners, 7-3. Zarkoski finished with four saves.
UMass will continue its season in the NCAA Tournament against a yet to be determined opponent. The NCAA Selection Show will be live streamed through NCAA.com on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 10 p.m.

Two women, one goal, and multiple results. Celebrity hairstylist Trayce Madre and Biggest Loser season 15 contestant Tanya Winfield are an inspiration to women across the country. They have a stylist and client relationship that fostered so much more than luxurious locks of hair. These Chicago beauties made a conscious decision to save their lives, transform their minds, and fight all fears preventing them from being physically fit. Both of the ladies documented their weight loss journey for the world to witness. Trayce Madre and Tanya Winfield are both pioneers in their fields and are now influential in health and fitness. Typically, women commit to the New Year's resolution of clean eating, hiring a personal trainer, crash diets, and losing weight to have the beautiful beach body they desire for the spring season. However, the cold winter days and nights often leave people reaching for a Klondike bar instead of a kettlebell! Say no to the comfort foods now! Getting started may be difficult but you will discover the rewarding results after reading the stories of Tanya Winfield and Trayce Madre.
Tanya Winfield, the Chief Operating Officer of a restaurant franchise in Illinois, was a hopeful contestant on the Biggest Loser. She displayed strength and courage in her ability to overcome the circumstances of her childhood. Tanya Winfield recognized the seriousness of obesity and refused to allow her children to be a statistic because of the influence of her unhealthy lifestyle. The unfortunate loss of a family friend due to obesity, having gestational diabetes while pregnant, and her daughter who was born weighing 11 pounds, 6oz proved to be the most poignant wake up call for Tanya Winfield. Her trial quickly became a triumph, as she revealed her overall weight loss of 87 lbs. and striking beauty during the finale of the Biggest Loser Season 15. She is now walking victoriously into her future declaring " The rest of my life will be the best of my life".
Trayce Madre offered an excerpt of her weight loss diary by answering the questions we all want to know! This beauty guru has been in the hair industry for over 14 years and her expertise in the application of hair extensions is incomparable. She was devoted to transforming her brand by enhancing her personal beauty with a healthy diet and fitness regimen. Trayce Madre dealt with the same fears we all face to motivate her to lose weight, the increasing number on the scale. She refused to get any closer to weighing 300 lbs. and lost faith in the inconsistency of fad dieting, understanding that her permanent results would only come from changing her lifestyle. The emotional challenge she faced was the fear of failure, which is often the most crippling. "I tried for ten years and was unsuccessful. I had to get that little voice out of my head that kept saying, "What's going to be different now?" I really had to dig deep into myself, deeper than ever before and I got tough. I mean really tough! I had to constantly tell myself "No excuses Trayce. No one wants to hear them anymore!" she says.
Her mental, emotional, and spiritual toughness paid off! She conquered her food cravings by creating a list of alternative foods. She used multiple resources to carry out the vision for her new life including personal trainers, clean eating, and books for the purpose of variation. After three years of mastering this routine, she lost 130 pounds and looks absolutely beautiful! Once she found her rhythm and perfect combo of diet/exercise, the year of 2013 was a breeze and the pounds fell off quickly. Trayce Madre now eats 6 meals per day, works out 4 times per week with her husband Maurice King, who is personal trainer at New Way Life Fitness and she exercises in the comfort of her home. She sums up her experience by offering sound wisdom and encouragement to people dedicated to transforming their lives, "It's difficult to reach what you cannot see. My biggest advice for people struggling with weight is first to plan, plan, plan. It's a big task. Put your goals on paper. Secondly, only keep people around you that support your vision and are willing to help you reach it. Lastly, realize that everyone's journey is different. Do things that you can keep up for a lifetime to achieve true success".
Confidently walk in your beauty this year ladies. Be inspired by the success of Trayce Madre and Tanya Winfield. They are living examples of what can happen when you make an intentional decision to be a better version of you!

Is it possible for everything that you know turned out to be a lie? What happens when you find out that you might not be who you're supposed to be? What would you do to find out the truth? That's part of the premise behind the new TNT drama "Legends," which had one man's world turned upside down with a major revelation that was still hard to believe. The show has demonstrated some potential with the casting of a few of the leading characters, but its way too familiar premise threatened to derail it before it began.
"Legends" followed Martin Odom (Sean Bean) who was one of the FBI's greatest undercover operatives in the way that he could inhabit another identity like it was already part of him. He was able to add some realistic layers to a legend that was pure fiction in order to make sure he wasn't killed during his often dangerous undercover assignments. Unfortunately, Martin's detailed approach to his legends didn't extend itself to working well with others. He often didn't make regular contact with his handler Crystal (Ali Larter) who had a contentious history with Martin in the past. Due to his lack of communication, the ATF nearly blew his cover while he was looking to destroy a group looking to cause some serious damage at a big government event. Martin has been forced by his boss Nelson Gates (Steve Harris) to work with Crystal and her team as a way to build a bridge between Martin and Crystal. Sadly, Martin's undercover assignments often prevented him from spending time with his son Aiden (Mason Cook), which also cost him his marriage to Aiden's mother Sonya (Amber Valletta). It also didn't help that Martin had been having a very hard time shedding his false identities after each assignment. He often signed checks with the wrong name and acted differently than normal. Martin ended up getting the shock of his life when a strange man started following him and told him that he wasn't really Martin Odum, but it was another legend as well. Before he could get answers, the man ended up murdered as a result. Martin's inquiries also made him a target for Tony Rice (Morris Chestnut) who was investigating the crime. Will Rice prove to be a valuable ally or another enemy that Martin couldn't afford in his line of work?
In terms of questions, the show posed a few, but the biggest one involved whether it had the staying power to last due to its weak premise. The show's weekly cases were pretty generic, and were often resolved pretty quickly. Those cases made the show feel more like a police procedure than a mystery thriller that has only just begun to form. Viewers would rather know Martin's true identity and who was responsible for his current state. Early signs in the second episode pointed to Harris' rather vague Gates who could either be a clueless friend or a foe pretending to be an ally. Harris' character hinted that either could be the case as he warned Martin not to share his suspicions with anyone about his situation. Sure, the plot echoed a lot of elements from "The Bourne Identity," but the case seemed to sell the familiar plot in a way that it almost didn't seem too far fetched. Future episodes need to further explore the mystery element of the show without giving too much away. Things can be hinted at without resolving the show's biggest plot, because the series will be over before it truly begins to get interesting. A possible solution would be for Bean's Martin to find an ally that he could confide his secrets to that way the story could get off the ground. The likely candidate will be Chestnut's character who was just as eager for the truth as Odum was. The show also needed to find a way to better weave Martin's family life into his work life without making them feel like a major distraction. It could help for viewers to get a few more flashbacks of Martin's personal life to get a better idea as to why his marriage ended in the first place. The show could also give a few of the supporting cast members more to do than being background players to Bean's character, such as Tina Majorino's Maggie, because those characters helped to provide some much needed moments of comedic relief. Hopefully, that will happen sooner rather than later.
As for breakout performances, Bean and Larter led the pack due to their very dynamic performances and for the fact that they were featured prominently in the first two episodes. Bean's Martin proved to be the show's biggest draw so far because he made Martin to be the ultimate wildcard. No one knew what he was going to do next. He could either hug or kill someone just as easily as flipping a switch. He proved the ghost of a character with a commanding presence that made him worth watching even if he was doing something as mundane as going to the grocery store. Bean easily excelled at doing the big action scenes, but he also proved just as good at exploring Martin's emotional turmoil with struggling to find his true identity amongst all of the aliases. Bean's strongest scene was when he was in a standoff with a terrorist holding a trigger for a bomb. Instead of backing away, he got in the man's face and called his bluff in a way that was justified and frightening at the same time. He also had a decent on-screen rapport with Larter that should remain platonic for the time being. Larter's Crystal, on the other hand, proved to be a bigger challenge to follow because the character wasn't as well defined as Bean's Martin. She was the straight woman to his wildcard, which often gave her little to do other than scold him on-screen. In the second episode, Larter had the chance to explore her character's emotional side when a colleague of hers was killed during an operation with the Russian mob. She demonstrated both a vulnerable and vengeful side in the same scene. Let's hope that she gets to explore that in the next episode, which picks up right where that case left off. Only time will tell if that's the case.
"Legends" premiered on August 13th and airs Wednesdays at 9:00 PM on TNT.
Verdict: Bean and Larter gave strong performances, but the show's overall plots hasn't entirely caught up with them just yet.
