It's a place to work out from group fitness classes to lifting weights. It's a place to swim laps with its top-floor pool that offers beautiful views of downtown Chicago. It's a place to hop on a treadmill and run out some miles, especially when Mother Nature is wreaking havoc on the Windy City. And now Fitness Formula Club's Lincoln Park location is a USA Triathlon Certified Performance Center.
Facilities that are certified as USA Triathlon certified performance centers must meet specific criteria set forth by USA Triathlon. Those requirements include having a 25-meter pool or endless pool, a performance lab, a recovery center, USAT-certified coaches, USAT testing protocols like VO2 and lactate, swim and run video analysis, and bike fit. FFC Lincoln Park is the first USAT-certified performance center in the Midwest and the seventh in the country (according to this list). Other performance centers are located in North Carolina, Arizona, Texas (one in Dallas and one in Houston), Florida and Georgia.
At FFC Lincoln Park, triathletes will find a training facility loaded with amenties. The 55,000-square-foot club features a human performance lab, multi-lane lap swimming pool, 16-seat CompuTrainer cycling studio, physical therapy center and a full-service spa. Bike fittings, the AlterG Zero-Gravity treadmill, metabolic testing, blood lactate threshold testing, underwater video analysis, and one-on-one time with a variety of fitness professionals are available at the Lincoln Park location.
Those who hold USA Triathlon annual memberships and join the club receive an eight-week CompuTrainer cycling program. Talk about a good place to start training when the cooler weather sets in. Or if you're a USAT member just visiting the Windy City, stop by for a guest pass and discounts on select services and testing.
"Fitness Formula Clubs is honored to have the Endurance Training Center at our Lincoln Park location to be named an official USA Triathlon Certified Performance Center," said Gale Landers, Founder and CEO of FFC, in a press release. "We are excited for the opportunity to provide a facility, coaches, resources, and free parking for athletes and our members of all levels to improve their training, racing, and overall health. Our goal with the guidance of USA Triathlon is to continue growing participation in triathlons and providing the most comprehensive and innovative training to triathletes across Chicagoland."

Landa NanoInk®
The Heart of Nanography®
Prints on Anything
Many materials, when reduced to nano particle size, acquire unexpected properties. Some particles become super-hard, able to protect surfaces from abrasion; some become super-absorbent in the blood stream, enabling unique drug delivery systems.
In the course of a decade of research, Landa observed that ink pigments, when reduced to nanometric scale, become unusually powerful colorants.
On the basis of this discovery, Landa created Landa NanoInk® containing ultra-small pigment particles that are tens of nanometers in size – about one-half the size of pigment particles used in offset ink.
Water-based Landa NanoInk® colorants are at the core of the Landa Nanographic Printing® Process and help make it a breakthrough printing technology.
The precise and extremely efficient low ink lay-down enables a Landa NanoInk® image to consistently produce extremely round dots with super-sharp edges, high optical uniformity and consistent density. This is equally true whether you are printing on glossy or matte paper—or on any other substrate.
The extremely small size of the Landa NanoInk® pigments achieve a light dynamic range in the Nanographic Printing® process wider than any other printing process. The four color palette (CMYK) and seven color palette (CMYK + OBG) cover more Pantone colors than offset printing and practically eliminate the need for spot colors, off press color mixing and on-press ink replacements.
One of the most important benefits of Landa NanoInk® is that the ultra-thin Nanographic Printing® ink film has the extraordinary ability to bond to any off-the-shelf paper and plastic printing substrates. Due to the Nanographic Printing® process, Landa NanoInk® images can be applied to a wide range of sheet or web substrates without any priming or pretreatment. It prints on any off-the-shelf, coated or uncoated paper, newsprint, heavy cartonboard, and plastic (such as PE, PET, PVC, BOPP).

What is this new month going to bring me? :)
Thursday, August 01, 2013
Hello August, welcome...
I always get so happy when a new month comes around because its just another way of continuing something that has helped me with my weight loss journey (juicing). It seems easier for me to start something at the beginning of a month, I dont know why, but it just gives me better results in accomplishing what I am seeking.
This new month I am going to start with my water intake that I had left behind for one reason or the other. I have to incorporate my water consumption because its very important to keep my body hydrated... I will continue with juicing, the only difference is that for the last couple months I just drinked a glass of juice a day. This wonderful month I am going to drink two glasses, one in the morning and one at night time after coming from jogging. Hopefully this month is going to bring me more creative ideas to make more juice to drink, which is going to bring me better health benefits, yay! Last month I just focused on vegetables, which are good for my body, but since I am always into moving forward, this new month I am going to incorporate more fruits and why not more vegetables, other than just the regular kale, cucumber, beets and celery as my main ingredients :) Iam happy because I been able to keep up with the strong flavor(s) of the vegetables I just mentioned, so now its time to get creative and have fun choosing more fruits and vegetables.
I been taking this juicing process little by little just because I dont want to give it up quick, everything takes its time to start kicking in and for me to see noticeable changes, other than my skin clearing up, so lets continue with the juicing! This process is just not about drinking juice, but about obtaining so many nutrients that otherwise I just wouldnt be able to obtain as naturally.
Lets start this new month the right way!

Good for you, Franchys! I tried juicing and I went too fast and I ended up giving it up because I couldn't keep myself on schedule and my husband's schedule. I overcomplicated. I think you are doing it the right way. And, the fact that your skin cleared up is amazing!

Harry Potter Wears Shocking Black Hotpants, Sin Skinsuit to Premier
Harry Potter showed up to the premier for his new movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, and we can see this child is now dressing in sinful girl's clothing.
The crowd was shocked and jeered as Harry Potter stepped out, wearing a form-fitting skinsuit that showed of a suspiciously feminine, curvy body. Potter also purportedly received Lasik surgery, for he was without glasses and made comments about not even 'needing contacts' to see all the shocked fans who showed up to the premiere countdown.
It is very sad to know that the gay wizard, Dumbledore, was able to corrupt young Harry Potter. He probably found him on Hogwars playground one day, and said, "Do you want some candy after this scene?" Harry Potter said yes, then met Dumbledore in an old, abandoned trailer on one of the lots.
Since in the movie the try to make playing with magic wands normal, Harry Potter here had no idea that when Dumbledore said, "Let's play magic wands" that it should have sent up red flags and by wands Dumbledore was using euphemism for playing satan-scepters with each other and Harry doing some "magic tricks' with his wands. This is sick and why gays love Harry Potter, because it makes it easier for them to trick children.
The movie has the right name. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, because wearing a girl's clothing and exercising your body so it looks like that of a young woman is basically steps 1 to 2 of how to get a first class ticket straight to hell, where you will burn and sear for all time. There is no spell, not even a frigid ice winter's cold front from Alaska, that can break the eternal heat-spell that you will endure in Hell.
Look at these images. Harry Potter is so happy to be 'out' and flaunting about London, thinking he's a girl and showing off his skin to try to tempt boys and girls to come see this dangerous movie. Somewhere in the background you can bet Satan squeals with delight.
Parents, as has been the case for now the last half decade, Harry Potter is a very dangerous book series. The book's author is a British guy who does not care about the well-being of your child, but only about lining his coffers with the blood diamonds that is the soul of our children.
If that wasn't enough, we know all the stats. After seeing Harry Potter, the risk of a girl catching teen pregnancy increased from 2% to a shocking 63%. The risk of experimenting with drugs and alcohol a whopping 18%. Harry Potter movies make it seem like it's normal to be friends with gays and not have them try to dally you, like that is something to expect when in reality, for everyone one gay, four children get dillied. It is a sad and true fact and these movies try to obscure these realities from children, encouraging them to partake in a dark lifestyle of blood rituals, vampires, wizardrly which leads to premarital relations, pregnancy, desperate drug seeking, disease and then death.
Keep Harry Potter merchandise, movies and books out of your home. Punish your children for seeking or having it, and let it be known you have zero tolerance for this movie. Just imagine if your son came home in the outfit Harry Potter is wearing, with the musk of a musty trucker eminating from his body. Don't let your sons turn into little diner whores.
Deny Harry Potter's entrance into your homes and the lives of your children.

A collection of my favourite photographs taken between 2005 and 2008. The book is split in to three sections:
* Infrared
* Fur & Feathers (Lots of cows, horses, sheep and ducks!)
* Shadows and Reflections
These three areas represent the things I enjoy most about taking photographs.

lftp is one of the best utilities currently avaiable for working with ftp servers.
Writing smart programs using bash script is not easy, there are many issues along the way and one of them is what i'm going to describe here.
Sometimes it's require for bash scripts to know their location, for example when they are part of a package and there are other require files (on the same location) for them to run properly, and it's also not possible to change the path to where they're located simply because they also need the current directory.
Linux Kernel is the heart of the opensource movement, because it allows users to have a complete open source operating system. With every release it brings lots of cool new features to the Linux community. Although it's very important piece of software, propely the more important the any other software in open source community it's unknown to many users. The are two reasons for this.
This article is not finished yet and it might not work for you at all, if you're still interested you can subscribe to its rss so you will be noticed whenever i update it.
XAMPP source code http://www.nat32.com/xampp/index.htm
Issue : INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
This is one of the issues i had for several months, i couldn't find any specific information about it and never had time to trace it in order to find a solution. But today i managed to fix it by reading many threads and articles and then tracing it from the beginning , since i'm not the only one with this problem i decided to share it.
I used CentOS 5.3 for this tutorial , but it might be still useful even if you're using a Debian based distribution.
As you might have already noticed most of my blog posts and tweets are related to Linux. Unfortunately not everyone knows about Linux so i guess it's time to introduce it.
CentOS's kernel is a very old kernel comparing to many other distributions. The reason is stability but some times it gets annoying.
For example today i wanted to upgrade CentOS 5.2 server at work to 5.3. to make this process as trouble free as possible i cloned the server into another computer but once it booted , i noticed that it doesn't detect new computer's on board network card! and it was impossible to do the upgrade without Internet.
I had to move 264 databases from one Linux server (Fedora) to another (CentOS), hard copying /var/lib/mysql wasn't a good idea because version of two MySQL databases were different and i had to repair all the tables after move so i decided to write a very short and usefull bash script.
It dumps all the databases but each database into a different file :

During pregnancy it is expected for women to gain some weight and for some of us, we're not able to do as we would normally. Most expectant mothers tend to be worried about their figures post pregnancy, not to mention the hard work of getting back in shape.
Let's think about it, wouldn't it be easier to regain our figure if we are able to regulate the amount of weight we put on during pregnancy? Most certainly. So what do we do then? It's simple really, we remain fit during pregnancy. Bear in mind that everyone has a different experience during pregnancy and is affected differently. Be sure to talk to your obstetrician or gynecologist about what works best in your condition.
Here are 3 simple tips to help you remain fit during pregnancy:
Start By Eating Healthy
With all the food cravings and junk food that we tend to consume during pregnancy, you can expect to put on weight. It's true that most of the weight we put on in this period is due to the foods we eat. So choose healthier foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Try creating your own fruit and vegetable juices using little or no sugar, keep it as natural as possible. More importantly, hydrate the body with lots of pure water. Remember you must eat foods that contribute to the well-being of both you and your baby, those foods that give the essential nutrients. Don't get carried away because you are pregnant and don't blame food cravings, you must make healthier choices.
Be Active
A lot of women believe that once they are pregnant they should be less active. Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are some pregnancies that are considered delicate or high risk if the mother has a particular illness or condition. However, for the majority of healthy expectant moms, this is not the time to avoid exercise. Pregnant women need to stay active.
Walking helps to promote circulation in the body. However, there are some people who have swollen feet and aching backs to contend with. When you are active from the beginning it will become easier throughout the pregnancy. Doing low impact exercises like certain stretches will be beneficial to you.
Exercise is absolutely essential during pregnancy. It helps to promote better mood and improves sleep. It prepares you for delivery and is also important in strengthening muscles, thus making it easier to get back in shape post-partum. Again, remember to consult your doctor to talk about what types of exercise routine works best for you.
Stick To It
Once you have established a routine that works well with you, make an effort to do it consistently. Many of us are guilty of starting out strong only to give up later on. Stick to your exercise routine during pregnancy and even when you are near your delivery date. Even walking everyday will greatly assist you in childbirth.

We all know that Manning will be released during the offseason and will be searching for a new home. Lets get right to it and go through where he will end up based on what we are being told by sources.
Some sources are saying that Peyton wants to remain in the AFC because he knows the competition and does not want to switch to another division at this stage in his career and may not want to go to the same conference as his brother. So that eliminates 16 teams right off the bat. We can also eliminate the Colts, Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Patriots, and Chargers because they already have their QB.
Next we are told that he wants to play in either a dome or a warm weather area. That eliminates the Browns, Denver (they have Tebow anyways and Manning wouldn't want to get in the middle of it), Chiefs, Bills, Jets (he probably wouldn't want to go to the same city as his brother anyways), and the Titans (who already have Locker who played well when given the opportunity).
That leaves the Jaguars, Raiders, and the Dolphins. Next he wants a good Defense, which eliminates the Jags. Leaving the Raiders and Dolphins. The Raiders have already traded 2 first round picks for Palmer. Plus I believe the Dolphins are in a better position to win now.
Let's just say however that the conference doesn't matter to him and the sources are wrong. We eliminate the cold weather teams and those who have a QB, Packers, Lions, Bears, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Seattle, Rams (or at least Fisher thinks so).
Leaving the Dolphins, Vikings, Redskins, Buccaneers, 49ers, and Arizona. I do not think that the 49ers will give up on Smith to take the risk on Manning since Smith did play really well and Jim loves him. The Vikings are in a tough division and i don't think they have a team that can win now. Same could be said about the Redskins who will also be eyeing the #2 spot for RG3. The Buccaneers are also rebuilding and they have Freeman.
That leaves the Dolphins and Arizona. Both warm area places so neither advantage there. The Dolphins have a better O line and skill receivers, but the Cardinals have Fitz, so lets call this a tie. The Dolphins have a better Defense so advantage Miami. The Cardinals have a proven head coach, nothing on Philbin but he doesn't experience so advantage Arizona. There is a tie based on the overall team. I think however Miami is a more attractive place to live and Manning having a condo and his wife liking the area and Ross willing to spend whatever it takes could give Miami the advantage.
Could this be how Madden 13 looks like?

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
The "HEY! LOOK AT ME!!!!!" crowd is about to embark on a full blown grandstanding jamboree, I'm told. Gerry Nutter got wind of it and now it's blowing my way, too. We are in for a motion from Councilor Elliott, in the near future, proposing that a charter change be put on the ballot. You can count on Councilor Ditto to second Elliott's offering.
There is some history to this effort. From 1993:
(h/t Dick Howe, Jr.)
Question 2 - Do you support a change in the city charter to provide for an elected mayor as chief executive instead of an appointed city manager? Yes-10,0441. No-6,760.
That question was put on a city election ballot, as a non-binding resolution. But, it never went any further because after 5 Council incumbents were displaced, the appetite for upheaval diminished. (Funny how that works? Huh?)
Also, another question, that year, showed only a slight edge towards a desire to rid Lowell of Plan E.
Question 1 - Do you support keeping the present Plan E form of government? Yes-8,234. No-8,779.
Should anyone assert that Lowell, circa 1993, has any sort of 'mandate,' they should take a few data points into account.
As of a Jan.2013, Lowell Voter File (using rounded numbers); there is about 55,000 registered voters. Of those, only 18,800 have EVER voted in a City Election. Guess what? Of that 18,800, only 8,500 were registered to vote in 1993. That not much of a legacy to drive some bullshit "mandate." narrative Sorry.
But, hey! It never was about changing the Charter, anyways. This is all about Glory Hoggin'. Y'know? In a sad, sorta desperate, I need to scrape bottom for votes, sorta way. Oh, speaking about 'scraping bottom,' let's all not forget the "Voter ID" motion that C.Elliott was flaunting. Which, btw, he has withdrawn. Don't forget voter suppression, when the word manure about 'increasing public participation' is piled on to grow the rhetorical weeds used to confuse the discussion.
Charter change? Bring it! But, let's bring what Lowell wants. To include as many of the 106,000 Lowellians, as there is, yo.
I say, "Bring it!":
I say, "Bring it!" Because Democracy is a numbers game and I know the numbers. You lose. Most definitely in the long run, when your self indulged leaders move to Dracut & Chelmsford, leaving you high and dry with a mismanaged City and a 'Strong Mayor" whose name you can't pronounce.
I say, "Bring it!" Because, while you're looking backwards, the rest of us are looking forwards. And, as you already know in your gut, there are MORE OF US, than there are of you.
Bring IT!
There's no way one can reasonably claim a 20-year old vote as a mandate for doing something now, but I've thought all along that the person with the authority and job description the Manager currently has should be elected. That's just principle for me and should not be construed as commentary on the current holders of any positions.
I assume your principle is in an idealized context, where many of the ills that plague parochial politics don't exist? Or, do you see electing the CEO of the City, as the cure for such ills?
Keep the Plan E, only form that works for a City this LARGE!
I suppose letting the people decide might fix anything relative to appointing the manager, but that's not my focus. I'm not naive enough to suggest any system could be free of political ills. I just think that just like the country and state elects its executive so should the city. It's just a basic democratic principle I think to let the people choose.
Yeah, I have to say, a strong Mayor scares the shit out of me. Here's why:
In Plan E, you hire a guy to do the day to day tasks of managing the budget, negotiations with unions, manage the guys who fill potholes and fix sidewalks and sewer pipes and (now, anyway) the street lights. This guy is far more likely than a politician to actually have a fucking background and/or degree in managing a municipality.
This takes potholes and sidewalks a bit out of the realm of "panderzone." I mean, some of the old crowd still call Rita Mercier up to fill a pothole, but those in the know realize it's way more efficient for you to use See, Click, Fix on your smartphone and submit the location and a photo of said pothole, where the addressing of that pothole will be tracked and, in every instance so far where I've submitted (and you can do it anonymously) I have seen issues addressed quickly and without political fanfare. Better for my tax purse.
Leaving people like Rita with less and less "meat and potatoes" issues to pander to those who call her on her landline. And meaning there are more and more councilors running (ok, with some serious exceptions) on the Big Picture items which are supposed to be the general arena in which Councilors are supposed to play. Councilors who have addressed broad stroke action on climate and energy efficiency, for instance, or performanced-based budgeting.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
The only problem that this solution seems to fix is that Rodney Elliot could get the rest of the council to vote for him.
Got it in one, Joe!
It's nice to have a system that gives the person who really needs to make the hard decisions one layer of separation.
Best example is the medical insurance reform. Everyone knew it needed to happen, particularly the Councilors. Bernie can be the guy to implement the change, everyone can agree behind closed doors that it was needed, and then when some angry constituent calls a Councilor, they can deflect the blame. They have a public heat shield.
A directly-elected public mayor IS the heat shield. Just ask Rahm Emanuel.
Lots of systems don't put the leader in a position to be directly accountable to the whole electorate. Look at Mrs. Thatcher's labor reforms in the early 1980s, and the subsequent prosperity in the UK. The only people she was *really* accountable to were the 70,000 or so people in her district, and then her fellow Tory MPs…she had enough distance to make the tough calls, and it wound up being a huge net positive for her country.
As I've said ad nasum the only change I would like to see is district councilors vs the at large system we have now. I believe this would increase voter participation but leave the CM in charge of day-to-day operations. Worcester, which also has a modified Plan E, does elect a Mayor instead of one being elected by the council but they retain the CM.
I lean towards ER, and I would like to stagger terms. I'd like to see Councilors have longer terms, maybe every 3 or 4 years. Also, if they were staggered, we could focus on the specifics some more.
When this motion comes up, I'd like to see it go to subcommittee. Thus, allowing other ideas to be tested, via non-binding resolution, as well.
How many Lowell City Councilors in the past 20 years would be qualified to run a city the size of Lowell? Maybe a few (if that). This is a scary proposition.
Jack get of the Ed Kennedy bashing unless you have something concrete your public sector vs private sector on Gerry's website is a joke like you
I must be getting 'warmer.'
A split system w/some at large seats might be good, but with districts you're going to get fiefdoms. In our current system someone can be a challenger without being antagonistic - they're not really challenging any particular person. also no guarantee of better ethnic/gender diversity with districts.
Gee, Greg. You seem very certain about the 'fiefdoms.' Then, on the other hand "better ethnic/gender diversity" is a role of the dice?
Are we seeking "better ethnic/gender diversity?" Eventually, maybe. For now I'd be stoked, if we could get the city vote turnout to 20,000.
As the neighbourhood group leaders loom larger, it may be wise to simply cut to the chase and elect our spokesfolks.
"A split system w/some at large seats might be good, but with districts you're going to get fiefdoms. In our current system someone can be a challenger without being antagonistic - they're not really challenging any particular person. also no guarantee of better ethnic/gender diversity with districts."
One of the problems with the current system is the councilors are not challenged directly for their rhetoric and votes, that's because challengers are not running against any "one" councilor. As for fiefdoms, they already exist. With district representation there is someone from each section of the city instead of a collection of councilors that are traditionally from one or two sections of the city, which also coincidently seem to get the most attention from the city.
I would always put my faith in the collective wisdom of the voting public. Under the Plan E charter the" Executives are the councilors who MAY hire an Administrator.". A City Manager must "cowtow" to at least a majority of 5 councilors. Trust the people! I promise they'll hire the best candidate. Voters are careful in the election of only 3 people(The President,The Governor & The Mayor) After that they vote ethnically,socially or for the guy next door. I don't recall an election when the winner didn't represent the most commonly acceptable positions. We vote for "ourselves" because we are really "We the People"
I'm not against the theory. I am against the reality of Lowell, as it is today.
With only 10% of the population voting, I feel the outcome of a strong mayor race would reflect suspect parochial interests and political clans.
The 'crowd sourcing' that you refer to, works best when the "crowd" has a large enough population to washout the muck of local politics.
You know math well enough to understand why I reject your proposal. The voting behavior you propose is NOT a 'linear relationship,' in my humble opinion.
I assert that a 'horizontal asymptote' exists. If voter turnout dwells below that threshold, then we need to diffuse the trend towards 'mob rules' amongst the representative gov't (Plan E) that selects our Chief Executive.
Of course, should we enliven the sense of civics to the degree that we get a fuller breadth of Lowell diversity engaged, I'm convinced many (not you) of the "strong mayor" advocates will fall silent. Or, Bernie Lynch leaves office. Which ever comes first.
I can live with fiefdoms. I'd rather have some King of the Lower Highlands looking out for the people there than nobody looking out for the people there.
"You have an interesting idea about that zoning change. Have you ever seen the sidewalks on Queen Street? Maybe we can work together…."
@JFL totally fair point. A Lower Highlands Rascal King might mean better things for residents there, even if it would discourage challengers. But the way around it is a hybrid system like a lot of cities have…you could have everyone inside a district w/a single Councilor representing them, and then have some at-large seats set aside, too…then you'd get the accountability stepped up and no one would ever have to take on Tammany.
I brought up the diversity thing b/c people sometimes say that district reps would = diversity, case closed. If neighborhood diversity is what they mean then yes, of course…but if they're just referring to the demographic makeup of the body, it's not that simple. The city isn't balkanized enough to guarantee those sorts of outcomes (and I would think most people see that as a positive..we're more of a mosaic than a paint-by-numbers).
One name to gainsay Bill: Lantigua. 'Nuff said.
You can get graft-gifting idiots who get into and stay in a Mayor's office just as much as you can get a not-so-professional City Manager.
RE districts: I'd like a mix. Maybe 5 at large, 4 districts, or the opposite. Can't get too granular on districts as the smaller an area a district covers, the more likely you have unchallenged races…
But it frustrates me that people do not run "against" someone who clearly needs actual opposition. Ie, Rodney.
But it frustrates me that people do not run "against" someone who clearly needs actual opposition. Ie, Rodney.
Because of he at-large makeup of the council it is rare for that kind of campaigning to happen. The only time I recall it happening in my memory is when Tarsy Poulios ran a campaign and his theme was "Shame on you Bobby Kennedy".
You can get a Mayor Lantigua (Lawrence) or you can get a Mayor Driscoll (Salem). I prefer Plan E govt but would not freak out if it changed. I think the bigger problem is at large councillors.

Magic 107, Heat 91
Observations from Wednesday's 107-91 loss to the Magic at Amway Arena:
It really wasn't as bad as the score indicated, certainly nothing like Tuesday's embarrassment against the Celtics.
In some respects, this was the perfect game for the Heat. Competitive. Risk-free for Dwyane Wade. And helpful in the lottery race.
Plenty of spirit; not much substance.
Wade, Udonis Haslem and Shaquille O'Neal all were out.
And it's not as if, even with O'Neal or Alonzo Mourning, the Heat has ever done much against Dwight Howard.
Haslem could be out for a while, with the dreaded high ankle sprain. All-Star break is a possibility.
Haslem's absence exposed the Heat's lack of depth at the four, with Dorell Wright given Wednesday's start there.
That move actually made sense, with the grotesquely overpaid Rashard Lewis as soft a big man as there is in his supposed tier.
Luke Jackson started and showed some positives, which, basically, is what the balance of this season should be about.
Jackson could yet emerge as this team's shooting specialist. He may not be Jason Kapono, but he works cheap.
Ricky Davis and Jason Williams certainly had their opportunity to be showcased. Anything that brings matching expiring contracts and a first-round pick in return should be considered.
If anything, this week's Damon Stoudamire derby showed there are plenty of contenders seeking experienced point guards.
Chris Quinn not only is good enough to be the Heat's backup point guard of the future, but might get some other teams thinking the same thing during free agency.
Davis' reputation is of a good scorer on bad teams. That should have him feeling at home these days.
The Wright decision that looms in free agency would be so much simpler if the kid ever would consistently hit shots.
Daequan Cook's self-assurance has taken a beating. This is not the same confident rookie from earlier in the season.
Based on his play over the past month, Cook had no legitimate claim on a berth in the Rookie Game.

Sacramento : Michelin's recommendations
California's capital possesses a rich heritage and an appealing all-American gentility. This flat site at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers was urbanized with a grid of straight, tree-lined streets that remind many visitors of the Midwest. Residents, who seem indifferent to the fads of California's trendy hotspots, reinforce this impression. Yet the city has an aura of a modern metropolis, with many contemporary cultural attractions to complement the vestiages of its pioneer past.

Hey guys!!
Coming up next week, October 6th and 7th, is the always awesome Us Open of BJJ in San Jose, CA organized by my instructor Claudio Franca and its definitely a tournament not to be missed! I'm still out of the action due to the arm bar I suffered in the semi-finals of the absolute at the nationals earlier this month and sadly I won't be able to compete. I guess the lesson to be learned is that if the guy's got your arm make sure you tap BEFORE you hurt yourself and are put out of future tournaments. Still, I'll be there cheering everyone on and hopefully not having to referee if I'm lucky (which I'm probably not) so see you there and if I'm reffing your match please don't yell at me too much OK?

Chinese Puzzle (or "Casse-tete chinois," opening today) is an examination of how, despite growing older, one does not necessarily grow up. It follows a group of middle-aged people who, basically, act like children, in this fantastical and whimsical romantic comedy.
Xavier (Romain Duris) lives in Paris and has two small children that are whisked away to New York by their mother, Wendy (Kelly Reilly). Unable to fathom them growing up outside of his presence, he decides to move to the States to be close to them. Conveniently, his lesbian friend Isabelle (Cecile De France) - whom he has donated sperm to - is also heading State-side.
Cue the somewhat effective, if overly cliched situational comedy. Xavier goes through typical immigration complications, fighting desperately to remain in New York while also needing to build a life for himself. He bickers with his wife who now lives with another man. Their lives interlock like scattered puzzle pieces.
Keeping things somewhat light - and full-heartedly foreign - are various cut-aways (aka hallucinations) that represent comical distractions to the current mess of events. There are sequences of animation that represent Xavier's previous life, as well as visits by famous philosophers along the way.
Lost on the mainstream audience will be the history behind these characters. Chinese Puzzle is actually the third in a trilogy of films featuring the same cast and characters, on the heels of 2003's L'Auberge Espagnole and 2006's, Russian Dolls. I must confess that I have not seen either of these previous films and although Chinese Puzzle was an enjoyable watch, I can't say that I found the characters interesting enough to go back and watch their earlier endeavors.
This is a film that focuses on life's complications, without ever feeling the need to deconstruct its complexities. At nearly two-hours, it may have lingered too long. But for those who were hankering for a sequel after Russian Dolls, it will feel like time well-spent.
Unfortunately, Chinese Puzzle is weakened by this lack of depth. The missing pieces to the puzzle may exist in the previous installments, but that doesn't quite bode well for the film to stand on its own. Still, the breezy charm of Chinese Puzzle is that it isn't intended to be taken too seriously...it's adolescence through the eyes of adults.
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Foreign
Run Time: 1 hour, 57 minutes, Rated R
Starring: Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Cecile De France, Kelly Reilly

Country Meadows is one of my favorite neighborhoods in East Manatee County. For home buyers looking in East Bradenton, Country Meadows offers what Buyers like. home sites are big, all homes have tile roofs, all homes have a paver driveway. Not too many affordable neighborhoods have large lots, low fees, and a high minimum requirement on the build.
As a busy Bradenton real estate agent, I have found that many buyer's today like the idea of deed restricted neighborhoods, but most everyone does not like the fees. I really don't think I have met someone who likes CDD fees. In Manateee County, most of the newer neighborhoods are going to have a CDD fee. This is fee built into the tax bill. Country Meadows has none! The HOA fee is a reasonable $900 a year.
School district is great, and shopping is nearby. Country Meadows in East Manatee County is definitely a must see if you are considering South west Florida.
In order of most recently listed the current inventory can be found on this blog, updated daily, I hope that it can serve as a resource for your real estate needs.
Please feel free to contact me, Joe Murphy, with Coldwell Banker for all your real estate needs in Bradenton Florida.

White Denim's New Album 'Corsicana Lemonade' Is Set For An October 29th Release Via Downtown Records And MapleMusic Recordings
Listen To The First Single 'Pretty Green' HERE
Downtown Records and MapleMusic Recordings will release Corsicana Lemonade, the new studio album from Austin-based White Denim, on October 29. Featuring production on two songs and a full mix from iconic songwriter Jeff Tweedy, the 10-song collection channels the group's manic live virtuosity into a rollicking 10-song mission statement.
The band will play the Austin City Limits Festival and tour the U.S. with Tame Impala this fall. Tickets are on sale now for the run, which will kick off at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO on October 8. In a live review, the LA Weekly observed, "it's refreshing to see a band without pretense or shtick, whose only agenda is to play the hell out of their instruments and bring the audience along for the ride." With 'Corsicana Lemonade', White Denim consciously set out to capture the feel of its lightning-rod live sets. "It's taken five records to make one that sounds the way we do onstage," says James Petralli, vocalist/guitarist for White Denim.
The album marks the first time White Denim has worked with outside producers. The band had found its time on the road with Wilco inspirational and turned to Jeff Tweedy, the GRAMMY®- winning group's front man, as they prepared to record Corsicana Lemonade. Working at The Loft, Wilco's Chicago headquarters /studio, White Denim recorded two tracks with Tweedy and his frequent production partner, Tom Schick (Rufus Wainwright, Ryan Adams), in March 2013. Upon returning to Austin, the band members built their own studio at a house on a cliff overlooking Lake Travis, where they recorded the remaining tracks with local music legend Jim Vollentine.
"We wheeled-in a bunch of crazy '50s gear and played from noon until 2 a.m. every day until the album was done," recalls Petralli. "We played live together, doing takes as a whole. Whatever sounded best was what we stuck with." 'Corsicana Lemonade' is the follow-up to White Denim's D, which was awarded four stars by Rolling Stone and MOJO and named by both publications as one of the 50 best albums of 2011. "Expect whiplash of the most intriguing, enjoyable kind," said SPIN while Pitchfork praised D as "White Denim's best-sounding effort yet."
Since its formation in 2005 and first string of EPs in 2007, White Denim has steadily expanded its sound. From the rootsy classicism of Last Day Of Summer (2010) and noisy sun-soaked sizzle of Fits (2009) to the soft-edged riffage of D (2011), the group's commitment to fiery live performance, textured exploration and blissful interludes has never wavered. It peaks on 'Corsicana Lemonade'.

These turnovers are stuffed with a tempting mixture of chicken, ricotta and mozzarella. Fresh pizza dough can be found in the deli section at Publix or at Lazzaroli Pasta in the Germantown section of Nashville. Let's get cooking!
Herbed Chicken Calzones
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 4 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced bottled roasted red peppers, drained and pat dry
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Shape each piece of dough into a flattened disk. On a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough to a 7 inch circle. With a pastry brush, brush off any excess flour. Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling onto each circle, leaving a 1 inch border. Moisten the edge of the dough around the filling with a finder that has been dipped in cold water. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal them. Gently press the filling inside the dough into any pockets in the dough. With a large spatula, transfer the filled calzones to the prepared baking sheets, placing 2 calzones on each of the baking sheets. Bake the calzones 17 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is well browned and crisp.

The man-made version Of Melatonin Is Free From impurities
The food nutritional supplement melatonin is incredibly well-known. Some of the health supplements that can help us sleep is melatonin. Melatonin exists naturally inside the human body since it is created by the pineal gland. The body houses the pineal gland deep inside the brain. The levels of melatonin all of us generate depends on the brightness of our natural environment. During nighttime hours, we can expect our bodies to produce huge amounts of melatonin. Feeling sleepy is a direct consequence by the surge in melatonin that your entire body creates. The wonderful thing concerning melatonin supplement would be the fact it can help treat the symptoms of insomnia without any bad side effects. Regular air travelers have also used melatonin for jet lag treatment. Latest investigation indicates that melatonin has antioxidant attributes too. Consider using melatonin for sleep because it is considerably better than popping those RX sedative drugs and sleeping drugs. Whenever possible, avoid utilizing melatonin on children. If there is a need for you to employ melatonin for children, it would definitely be ideal to provide them the smallest possible dosage. You could also employ melatonin for dogs just in case you have a very nervous dog. There can be melatonin side effects that you need to be conscious of when employing melatonin. The most common side effect of melatonin is becoming sleepy during the day.
It isn't common for someone to experience melatonin overdose. The long term safety of melatonin hasn't been proven and extra research is usually needed. It is ideal to utilize the 1 mg melatonin dosage and step-up your dosage in the future. Different kinds of melatonin supplements can be purchased on health shops. There is no need to obtain a physician's RX when shopping for melatonin. Melatonin tablet is usually the most affordable form of melatonin. Melatonin may also be available as liquid melatonin; it's not inexpensive but it works much faster. Sublingual melatonin is a lot more fascinating since it is typically packaged in lozenge form. You should exclusively buy melatonin that's originating from trusted manufacturers to guarantee that you're getting the highest quality. The synthetic type of melatonin is advisable and it is usually available. Synthetic melatonin functions in the same manner as natural melatonin. You can get melatonin supplements that use natural melatonin originating from cows. This type of melatonin may contain animal viruses. Synthetic melatonin offers high purity and doesn't contain viruses. I am consuming melatonin in order to help me fall asleep at night and I can easily say that it is really effective. My supply of melatonin often comes from the internet because I am a incredibly busy person. Consult your current health care provider first prior to taking melatonin. There are a few interactions involving melatonin and certain medicinal drugs. Pregnant women should never use melatonin because it might affect child development. The lowest melatonin dose should be employed whenever you are just starting to use melatonin.

The NSA is not only listening, they're watching too. The government is keeping a keen and ogling big brother eye out… for your racy photos and texts. The National Security Agency has been collecting, monitoring and analyzing data, but the computer geek analysts who were busy flagging and decoding were also were getting their peeping-Tom on, sharing racy pics and your sexting texts with one another like a 15-year-old with a new iPhone and a sack of raging hormones.
This according to former counterintelligence trainer and everyone's-favorite-government-infiltrator, Mr. Edward Snowden.
Writes NBC: "Racy photos intercepted by the NSA are routinely shared among intelligence workers, according to former contractor Edward Snowden. He said NSA analysts searching for signals intelligence were examining mostly mundane - but sometimes intimate - messages and photographs sent online or through cellphones by 'ordinary citizens.'"
Snowden laid it all bare in an interview with The Guardian published this weekend, saying he saw firsthand the locker room-esque behavior of some very immature analysts.
"Many of the people searching through the haystacks (of information) were young, enlisted guys, 18 to 22 years old," the former CIA data miner revealed. "In the course of their daily work, they stumble across something that is completely unrelated in any sort of necessary sense – for example, an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation. But they're extremely attractive. So what do they do?"
We can guess, but as Snowden details:
"They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says, 'Oh, hey, that's great. Send that to Bill down the way,' and then Bill sends it to George, George sends it to Tom, and sooner or later this person's whole life has been seen by all of these other people."
Why didn't anyone stop the shameless sharing or question the unethical distribution of racy pics excavated out of cell phone records? Snowden says if they couldn't keep tabs on him and his ability to walk with a massive haul of classified data, they certainly couldn't be entrusted with guardianship of boobies found while sifting through photo info.
"A 29-year-old walked in and out of the NSA with all of their private records," Snowden said. "What does that say about their auditing? They didn't even know."
Snowden added though that the analysts were just regular people doing what many would do when stumbling on some salacious photos. They weren't "mustache-twirling villains," he said, commenting that the racy pics were "sort of the fringe benefits of surveillance positions."
Getting serious, Snowden said: "The mere seizure of that communication by itself was an abuse. The fact that your private images, records of your private lives, records of your intimate moments have been taken from your private communication stream, from the intended recipient, and given to the government without any specific authorization, without any specific need, is itself a violation of your rights."
And an intrusion into your underwear. Then again, don't complain that the government can see your privates if your iPhone snapshots would make Penthouse blush.

A pickup truck driver who refused to stop for police in Claremont, N.H., sped down a dead-end road, plunged into a river, and swam away before he was arrested several hours later on Friday, police said. The truck driven by Travis Hattery, 18, of Walpole, crashed through trees, became airborne, and crashed into the Sugar River, police said. A dive team searched for him. Hattery was later found in Claremont. He was charged with reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and other crimes. Police said the pickup truck was stolen.

Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie may have announced their separation in January, but the pair are very much together when it comes to raising their son -- so much so that many have assumed they have rekindled their relationship.
Although Duff and Comrie have yet to confirm any sort of reunion, Duff continues to speak highly of her husband, and in a new interview, she seemingly hinted that there is a possibility that they will one day reunite.
"I don't think Mike would ever go anywhere," Duff told Life & Style Magazine on May 7 when asked if she appreciates having Comrie around to help parent their son Luca, 2. "We're really dedicated to taking care of Luca. We're really good friends and spend a lot of time together -- and we're not in a rush for anything. We're just trying to enjoy our lives and figure out what makes us happy and it's working for us."
At the time they announced their split, it was assumed that their separation would eventually lead to a divorce, but after weeks went by and the pair continued to spend time with one another, it became clear that divorce wasn't something they were in a hurry to do. Instead, they have chosen to focus on Luca and have a great time together in the process.
Their separation could be the most amicable split in Hollywood.
"We do care a lot about each other," Duff went on to explain. "We're adults and we're making our way through life. Sometimes you do that together and apart."
It's good to see that Duff and Comrie aren't letting their separation come in between their relationship with their son. Often times, couples become so filled with anger towards each other that they forget what is important and become unable to enjoy parenting. These two are setting an amazing example.

Nov. 20, 2009
STANFORD, Calif.- No. 1 Stanford and No. 11 Santa Clara are about to square off in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. Stay tuned for a live account of the action:
37:00 left in first half: Stanford with the only chance of the game so far, with Christen Press firing off an attempt blocked by Santa Clara keeper Bianca Henninger.
30:00 left in first half: Now with a 4-0 shot edge, Stanford continues to apply pressure on the offensive end. Cardinal playing like a team that has outscored its opponents 22-4 in the first period this year.
23:00 left in first half: Play becoming more physical, and Santa Clara's Jenny LaPonte receives a yellow card to set up Lindsay Taylor with a direct free kick. Taylor's shot was saved, and meanwhile Santa Clara has ripped off three attempts to cut Stanford's shot edge to 5-3.
21:00 left in first half: Teresa Noyola is Stanford's first sub off the bench, waiting patiently to check in. Noyola has scored five goals for the Cardinal this year.
18:00 left in first half: It's a typical postseason atmosphere at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium. Frigid temperatures, howling, brisk winds and a energetic crowd ready to rock on a Friday night. Meanwhile, Stanford holds an 8-4 shot edge and a rocket from Christen Press just sailed above the crossbar. A near miss for Stanford.
10:00 left in first half: Santa Clara head coach Jerry Smith and Stanford skipper Paul Ratcliffe are familiar with one another in postseason play. The Broncos are 5-1 all-time against the Cardinal in the NCAA Tourney.
9:00 left in first half: Stanford just attempted the first corner kick of the night. The shot was headed out of danger by a Santa Clara defender. Tight, hard-fought match so far, with Stanford holding a 10-4 shot edge.
6:19 left in first half: The Cardinal awarded with another free kick, Teresa Noyola takes it and fires it home for a goal. Point-blank rocket that beat Santa Clara keeper Bianca Henninger top-shelf. Stanford up 1-0, and the Cardinal has taken the early edge. The crowd could sense something developing, with Stanford holding an 11-4 shot edge.
4:00 left in first half: Santa Clara gets its best chance. After Kelley O' Hara is whistled for a foul, Jordan Angeli blasts a shot that skips into the arms of Stanford's Kira Maker. A good, hard liner from Angeli, but Maker was ready for the opportunity to make a play.
End of first half: Stanford takes a 1-0 lead into the break. The Cardinal has threatened throughout the first 45 minutes, holding a 14-4 advantage in the shot department. So far Teresa Noyola's sixth goal of the year is standing up. That's bad news for Jerry Smith's troops, because Stanford has never let an opponent draw even after taking a lead this year.
42:00 left in second half: A light drizzle falling on the field as the second half gets underway. Christen Press and Lindsay Taylor lead all players with three shots so far, as both teams are trading possessions early on.
39:00 left in second half: Kelley O' Hara nearly makes it 2-0 but her 20-foot blast sails high. Courtney Verloo making an impact with some nice runs along the sideline.
36:00 left in second half: Teresa Noyola back into the contest, followed by Allison McCann. Stanford head coach Paul Ratcliffe continues to push all the right buttons. Meanwhile, Santa Clara's Meleana Shim misfires on an attempt from the top of the box and the Broncos are now being outshot 15-6.
32:00 left in second half: Meleana Shim rips another attempt toward the goal, and this one almost eludes Stanford netminder Kira Maker. A key chance for the Broncos, who are remaining patient despite being overmatched against a Stanford squad that is just plain fun to watch.
30:00 left in second half: A rarity: Christen Press misses high on a wide open net. Teresa Noyola tapped a nice cross to Press, who struck it a little early and the shot sailed high. Relief for Santa Clara, which would have been all but finished with a second goal. Stanford outshooting Santa Clara 17-7.
29:00 left in second half: Credit the Santa Clara players' toughness: almost every Bronco player is wearing only short sleeves.
20:00 left in second half: Santa Clara attempting to generate some offense, but play has been centered around midfield. Stanford in complete control, but Cardinal fans are surely anxious for an insurance goal. The Broncos have been here before.
12:00 left in second half: Hillary Heath serves in a corner kick and Kelley O' Hara gives it a header that just misses. Another good chance for Stanford, which is now outshooting Santa Clara 21-7.
9:00 left in second half: Christen Press re-enters the game. She's fresh...and could make an immediate impact. At this point, Santa Clara needs to get something going.
2:00 left in second half: Kira Maker comes up with an impressive save following a high, arching shot from Santa Clara's Jordan Angeli. The ball is punched away and Stanford is minutes away from a date with Boston College in the quarters.
FINAL: It's all over. Stanford has blanked Santa Clara 1-0, advancing to play Boston College next week in the NCAA Tournament quarters. The Cardinal keeps its perfect record alive at 23-0. Stay tuned for additional details.

A Townsend-area man was arrested last week after he allegedly flashed a Middletown woman in the Dove Run Shopping Center.
Brian C. Pyle is accused of exposing himself to a 34-year-old woman in the parking lot of the Giant Food supermarket at about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Middletown Police Chief Henry Tobin III said the victim told officers she saw a man wearing crotchless work pants exposing himself from inside a vehicle with its door open.
The man drove off after the flashing the woman, but she was able to provide his license plate number to officers, Tobin said.
Detectives tracked the vehicle back to Pyle on Friday and charged him with one count of second-degree indecent exposure.
Pyle later was released on a $100 unsecured bond and ordered to have no contact with the victim.
Anyone who has been the victim of an a similar act of indecent exposure is asked to contact Middletown police by calling (302) 376-9950.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton predicted after practice Monday the team would make a roster move at running back, "sooner rather than later," and hours later the team came to terms with Ladell Betts, according to Saints officials.
The contract has not yet been signed, according to the team.
Betts had come in for a workout even before Lynell Hamilton, the Saints third running back, was lost for the season with a fluke knee injury during a non-contact drill at New England last week. At that time, however, the team did not offer him a contract.
Early reports fixed the contract terms at somewhere in the neighborhood of $750,000, but the Saints provided no confirmation of that figure and did not provide any other terms.
The 5-feet-10, 222, back out of Iowa was a second round pick by the Washington Redskins in 2002. He had his best season with the Redskins in 2006 when he rushed for 1,154 yards on 245 carries.

Kondanani Childrens Village
Psalm 68:5 'A Father to the fatherless'
As part of GOD TV's vision to reach out to the lost and hurting, it is a privilege for the ministry and our partners to be able to support the Kondanani Children's Village in Malawi each month as part of our tithe. Featured regularly on GOD TV, this organisation benefits the lives of many children, some of which have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, by caring for them, encouraging their development and improving their quality of life.
Annie Chikhwaza is a dedicated caregiver and the founder of Kondanani who at a time when many other orphanages would not admit babies because of the cost, embarked on admitting these little ones so that they would not be left to die in the villages. Now with close on 200 orphans in her care it is heart-rending to see how these children are blossoming. With a talented choir, a growing orchestra and brand new art classes, they are developing all kinds of skills which will give them a brighter future.
Annie was recently appeared on a GOD TV In Depth Special where she was interviewed by Liz Ray about her biography, 'Mother of Malawi'. The book can be purchased at GODShop.

Is General Motors Really Worth $70 Billion?
Remember 2000? Pop megastar Britney Spears had a hit song called, "Oops, I Did it Again." Pint-sized Haley Joel Osment received an Academy Award nomination for seeing dead people in "The Sixth Sense." And General Motors had a market value of $58 billion.
Now Spears is practically irrelevant, Osment is old enough to drink, and GM….Well, GM is apparently worth $70 billion now, even after it needed a $50 billion life raft from Uncle Sam to avoid the giant scrap heap in the sky. (GM announced today plans to buy back $2.1 billion in preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury, part of the company's plans to ease out its majority ownership by the government.)
Let's take a look at GM then, and now:
Total revenue:

1H 2010: $64.7 billion

Site MAH02: Johnson Springs - Jackson River Float Trip
Elevation: 1286 ft. Johnson Springs provides access to a serene mirror calm stretch of the Jackson River. Massive sycamores stretch out over the river along the bank, hosting chickadee and titmouse flocks as they travel the river in search of food. These assemblies can also include less common species such as worm-eating warbler and white-eyed vireo. The scrubby fields next to the stream support open country species such as indigo bunting, American goldfinch, and song sparrow. Watch along the bank for congregations of butterflies concentrated in moist areas of sand. These include eastern tiger and spicebush swallowtails, eastern tailed-blue and pearl crescent. The shadier edges of the river also host the glittering ebony jewelwing dragonfly.

Stanford, which hit the ball hard all day long, overcame a 2-1 deficit with three runs in the third inning and pulled away late with two in the seventh to snap the longest winning streak in the nation.
Leadoff hitter Sean Ratliff hit a solo home run in the third inning and added a sacrifice fly in the seventh to pace the Cardinal day at the plate, while reliever Erik Davis tossed four scoreless innings from the sixth to the ninth to reign in the red-hot Wildcats and earn his first save of the year.
Stanford starter Jeffrey Inman (3-2) picked up the win with five solid innings on the mound. The freshman right-hander allowed just three runs on five hits while striking out six and walking four.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on single by Brad Glenn and answered Stanford's run in the second with a sacrifice fly off the bat of C.J. Ziegler to take a 2-1 lead after two and half innings.
Ratliff hit his sixth homer of the season off of UA starter Ryan Perry down the right field line with one out in the home half of the third to tie the game, and a Perry wild pitch and a Michael Taylor double each scored runs to hand Stanford a 4-2 lead.
Perry (0-1), who gave up four runs on six hits in just 2 1/3 innings of work, was charge with his first loss of the year.
Arizona pulled within one in the fourth on a run-scoring ground out by Robert Abel and had runners on first and second with two outs and Ziegler at the plate, but Colt Sedbrook, who went 2 for 4 with a run scored in the loss, was gunned down at second base trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt to end the inning.

The word is "vision," its kissin' cousin, "visionary." These are the modern mantras of leadership. A leader must be a visionary, a "vision caster." He must know where he's going and how to get there. He must get the people he leads to buy, appreciate, and otherwise get onboard his vision.
But what if you're a leader...who's not a visionary? I used to believe that a visionary was by definition one who stayed on the cutting edge of society, alert and ready to catch the next cultural wave. I've always had a problem, however, seeing the wave, let alone catching it! Let me give you an example.
A couple of years ago, Mel Gibson made a movie, "The Passion of The Christ." Chances are, your congregation bought rolls of tickets, climbed aboard a bus (or a fleet of buses), and went to see the movie. Why? Christian leaders considered the excursion to be a fresh means of deepening faith and a culturally savvy tool of evangelism. After all, our generation is visually oriented, having grown up on a steady diet of TV and movies. It was the visionary thing to do.
But I didn't have the vision. Somebody else thought of it, not me. How depressing!
Then there was the time our church bought another building. We definitely needed it. The benefits of having another building were obvious. But I didn't suggest that we buy it. I hadn't even thought of us buying more property.
Then there was the M.O.P.S (Mothers of Pre-schoolers) ministry. Wonderful program. It's not only been a big help to the young mothers of our community; it's exposed them to the Gospel. Sure wish I'd thought of it!
About now you're wondering whether this is the church custodian writing. Nope. This is the preaching minister writing. And now you're asking, "What in the world are you, Mr. No Vision, doing in such an important position of church leadership?" Believe me, I've asked myself that question many times!
What Is Vision?
What is "vision," really? If it's being able to see where you're going, I must confess that often I can't. Neither do bats, I'm told. Yet somehow they manage to get where they're going—even in the dark. God gave them the ability to do so. He's done the same for all the people He's chosen to lead. "Blind as a bat" is but one way to describe many of them!
Take Moses, for example. Was this a man with a vision of liberty, aching for a chance to tell old Pharoah, "Let my people go?" As a matter of fact, he argued with God over his qualifications for the job (

Tom-Foolery!: Sinking Boat Not Really Sinking
Artist Julien Berthier built a boat that looks like it's perpetually sinking even though it's not. Affectionately (literally) named 'Love Love', the boat is fully functional and Jaws-approved.
The boat has a built-in motor and is able to move around just like any other boat, albeit a boat that will draw a lot more attention than your standard dinghy. It was created by artist Julien Berthier, and he's since taken it out to all sorts of places such as Canary Wharf in London and Normandy, Francy.
First of all, I beg to differ that this boat draws more attention than a standard dinghy. Especially if said (sub)standard dinghy is my own and I'm pointing at it yelling "EVER-BODY, LOOK -- MUH DINGHY'S ON FIRE!" Secondly, Julien, if you built a boat that always looks like it's sinking, how can you tell if it really starts going under? That's some serious "Boy Who Cried Wolf" shit right there. You gonna get sexed by mermen, yo!
Hit the jump for a shot of the boat out of water.
The perpetually capsizing boat freaks out boaters everywhere [dvice]

Few things say summer like picnics – and what's a picnic without a delicious slice of watermelon to top it off?
But watermelon is for more than picnics. Did you know watermelon can also be used in a variety of recipes, some of which you may not have considered before?
Putting watermelon balls in a bowl with cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, melon and other fruits to make a fruit salad is too obvious. Let's investigate some other possibilities.
Try a salsa by tossing together 3 cups diced seedless watermelon, ⅓ cup chopped cilantro, ¼ cup lime juice and ¼ cup diced onion. To kick up the heat, add 1 – 2 minced jalapeno peppers. Serve with tacos, chicken or fish.
For a different kind of salad, combine 6 cups argula (or another green), 2 cups seedless watermelon chunks and 1 cup diced feta cheese in a large bowl. Toss lightly with a low-fat vinaigrette.
You can even make slushies with watermelon. Combine 3 cups diced seedless watermelon, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ cup water and 1 cup ice in a blender. Blend until icy. This will make four slushies.
Google watermelon recipes for more refreshing ideas like these.
