Without a doubt, the toughest, most dedicated athletes around are bowlers.
That's what this column so emphatically stated the other day – that bowlers are totally devoted to their sport – more so, than say tennis players and golfers.
This point was backed up by numerous examples of local bowlers who had sustained injuries or illness but had overcome them.
One such bowler cited was Jamie Beeler of Chatsworth, who survived a serious bout of kidney stones to complete his three games in league play.
Another bowler was Eric Haugsby of Woodland Hills, who got into a severe car accident during the day but still mounted the fortitude to stumble into his bowling center to take part in his league action later that night.
And a third bowler was Theo Sojourn of the Santa Clarita Valley, who sustained two broken bones in his right forearm but came back that week as a reincarnated left-hander who would soon blast a personal-best with his "off" hand.
But Laura Hanson was not really impressed with all these bowling feats. The Los Angeles award-winning amateur tennis player doesn't dismiss the toughness of bowlers. She just wanted to give her group of fellow tennis players its due.
Said Laura: "Hey, not true about tennis players [that they're not as tough as bowlers]. I have a friend who had surgery on his right arm and played left-handed for quite awhile!"
OK, so we'll allow that some tennis players are pretty tough inside. But there weren't any golfers stepping up to defend their ranks.
REPEAT PERFORMANCE: Just when I finished writing about Rick Auerbach's stellar anchor performance as an example of why league bowling will always be a strong part of the game, Rick did it again.
Here's his email from this week: "Talk about a comeback to win a game. Tuesday night, I was subbing for Kelly Gold. In the last frame of the third game, we were down 71 pins with just me and Dave Lewis, the anchor, to bowl. I said to Dave, tongue in cheek, 'Come on, Dave, we can do this,' making a joke.
"I am on a double going into the 10th and he is on a single. I punch out the 10th with three [strikes] in a row and tell Dave on the way to the lane, 'OK, Dave, it's your turn!'
"Boom! Dave punches out and we win the game by nine pins. Talk about a comeback. Wow! I got a new ball and shot a 701! Must have been beginner's luck!"
League play can definitely be exciting!

The Fat Tire Bicycle group begins its second ride of the season Tuesday night behind the Iron Nugget in Hurley.
HURLEY — The Fat Tire Bicycle group met Tuesday night behind the Iron Nugget to enjoy its second night of riding this season in 80-degree temperatures.
Group members have been riding together for more than 20 years, said rider Chet Kanipes.
Tuesday night events are usually between eight and 12 miles of off-road riding, and Wednesday nights feature road riding of up to 25 miles.
The Wednesday night rides begin next week, departing from Maplewood Steakhouse on Cloverland Drive in Ironwood.
The group starts its evening at different locations in Ironwood, Bessemer and Hurley, and enjoys the exercise before having dinner or drinks to socialize.
Many members are warming up for the "Go Ride R Range Ride." or GRRR, on Sunday, with 50 people signed up so far, said rider Sam Davey.
Sunday's 20-mile ride starts at 1 p.m. from Bluff Valley Park in Bessemer.

Is there any way I can make the KotOR II HQ movies patch work on a 1920x1080 monitor?

I've tried exactly what you're talking about, and, in my experience, it doesn't work. I'm fairly certain that the engine will still down-convert them to 640x272, then back up to your native res. Try converting one of the high-quality movies to 640x272 and compare how it looks and plays in-game to the same movie up-converted to your native res. In my case, the down-scaled movie looked better and played more smoothly than the up-scaled one, even though the latter had been up-converted to my native res. It also looked and sounded better than the movies that shipped with the game.
Even the hex-monkeys over at the Widescreen Gaming Forum never figured out how to get the engine to properly scale the high-quality movies, so we're pretty much stuck with 640x272. I've never had the opportunity to personally test the high-quality movies on a monitor with a vertical resolution of 1200 or higher, so I don't know if they'll work properly in that case or not.
If you come to the same conclusion I did, just convert them all to 640x272 and replace the originals with them. You'll still end up with better movies in the end.
EDIT: You've figured out how to batch-convert with RVT? Would you mind telling me how?

Doran, Bettis Pitch Tech Past Oklahoma State, 5-4
April 10, 2010
Final Stats | Notes | Postgame
STILLWATER, Okla. - Junior catcher Jeremy Mayo belted two home runs and the Red Raiders got outstanding pitching from Bobby Doran and Chad Bettis as Texas Tech evened up this three-game series with Oklahoma State with a 5-4 victory on Saturday afternoon at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
The win moves Texas Tech to 16-18 on the season and to 5-6 in Big 12 Conference play while Oklahoma State drops to 18-11 overall and to 3-5 in league play.
Oklahoma State jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as they capitalized on a shaky start by Doran in the bottom of the first inning. OSU got back-to-back singles from Davis Duren and Tom Belza to start the frame and a sacrifice fly by Mark Ginther gave the Cowboys the early advantage.
Tech didn't waste any time answering the Cowboy scoring as an RBI double by Michael Reed in the top of the second evened things up at 1-1. Mayo led off the inning with a walk and then Reed dropped a ball off the wall in right-center and that allowed Mayo to score all the way from first.
In the fourth, Mayo gave Tech its first lead of the series when he blasted a one-out solo home run over the left field wall to put the Red Raiders in the lead 2-1. Five batters later, freshman second baseman Jamodrick McGruder drew a bases loaded walk to extend the Tech lead to two runs (3-1).
OSU's Nicolas Rosthenhausler needed just one swing in the bottom half of the fourth to tie things up as he deposited a two-run home run to left field and that tied the game at 3-3.
Reed drove in his second run of the game in the fifth inning to break the tie and then Mayo gave Tech a two-run cushion with his second home run of the day in the top of the seventh. Mayo's home run was his sixth of the year and gave Tech a 5-3 lead.
Oklahoma State plated one run on a Tech error in the seventh and threatened again in the eighth but Tech closer Chad Bettis shut the door on the Cowboy rally.
Bobby Doran (2-2) turned in his best outing of the year as he held a potent OSU offense to just three runs on four hits and struckout four over 6 1/3 innings for the win. Chad Bettis held OSU to just one unearned run over the final 2 2/3 innings for his fifth save of the year.
Texas Tech and Oklahoma State will meet for the rubber match of this three-game series on Sunday afternoon. First pitch at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium is set for 1 p.m.

At least 21 people have been killed in twin attacks on Saturday night at Hindi in Lamu and Gamba in Tana River according to Kenya Red Cross.
In Hindi, 12 bodies have been recovered from the bushes where others are still lying following a raid by suspected Al shabaab militia.
The attackers killed nine others at Gamba police station including a police sergeant manning the station. They then hijacked a truck with unknown number of people. The truck is yet to be found.
Most bodies had deep cuts and some had hands tied in their backs just like those killed in Witu two weeks ago.
Earlier in the day some suspects had been arrested at Mpeketoni including a key suspect of the last month attacks in the area and were being held at Gamba police station. Sources say the attackers freed the four at around 11pm on Saturday.
Two casualties from the Hindi attacks have been taken to Lamu District hospital while two police officers injured during the Gamba attacks have been evacuated to Malindi district hospital.
Shooting was reported in Hindi area at around 11 pm.Hindi is around 15kms from Lamu.
Although police remain mum on the attackers but a spokesman for Al Shabaab issued a statement claiming that the Al-Qaeda-linked group's fighters had carried out another attack in the area.
"The attackers came back home safely to their base," Al Shabaab military spokesman Abdulaziz Abu Musab told AFP. The group claimed that 10 people had been killed in the attack.
Al Shabaab also claimed responsibility for last month's attack at Mpeketoni, saying it was in retaliation for Kenya's military presence in Somalia as part of the African Union force backing the country's fragile and internationally-backed government.
Survivors of the massacre in the town and a similar attack the following night in a nearby village reported gunmen speaking Somali and carrying Shebab flags killed non-Muslims and said their actions were revenge for Kenya's military presence in Somalia as part of the African Union force fighting the Islamists.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, however, denied that the Al Shabaab were involved and instead blamed "local political networks" and said that the victims had been singled out because of their ethnicity.

Dear eBay Queen:
A customer opened a case against me today (without contacting me first,) for a book that I sold him and mailed on May 7th. Tracking says it was delivered on May 10th, but he says he never received it. The book was only $8.99 with free shipping. I sent it Media Mail in a padded envelope. Ironically, the title was: How to Buy, Sell & Profit on Ebay. How can he open a case if it shows delivered? His message to me through the case:
"Just to let you know for your information, the book I purchased from you has been delivered but not to me. The U.S.P.S. tracking number said it was delivered on 5/10. Still haven't received it? I am on the phone with the local P.O. to see where it is. They said, there was no address on the package??"
I am wondering if there is anything I can do from my end since he has already contacted his local post office. I am also wondering how the post office knows there was no address on the package and how it could have already been delivered if that were the case?? I don't know what to do!
Dear Leslie:
I've always wondered why eBay allows a case to be opened when the item shows delivered through tracking. I've had this happen a few times. Each time, I called eBay and the case was closed in my favor. I did however, contact the buyer and try to work with them. In this situation, I would contact your buyer through the case messaging system. I would ask them for the location or name of their post office, so that you could contact them yourself. I would also ask if they contacted their neighbors to see if they had received the package by mistake.
eBay will close this case in your favor, as it shows delivered. I suspect your buyer is confused when it comes to the address not being on the package comment. If they respond and give you the information for their post office, I would contact them and ask if they are familiar with the package.
Strange eBay item of the week: eBay item: 380896901723. Mourning wreaths were created in the Victorian Era. Hair was taken from the deceased and put in a wreath as a memorial. Some of them are quite intricate. This is among one of the more fabulous wreaths I've seen. Antique 19c Framed Mourning Hair Wreath w/ Porcelain Flowers Stunning French SOLD: $400.00.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) today permeate all areas of life and fields of application, making them the economy's number one innovation driver.
As a service provider for the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF), the DLR Project Management Agency "Information Technology" is responsible for continuing to strengthen and expand Germany's leading position as a location for research and production.
The DLR Project Management Agency (DLR-PT) consists of the working areas "ICT Strategies and EU Synergies", "Communications Technology", "Electronics and Electronics Systems" and "Software Systems and Knowledge Technologies", which provide services to four different divisions of the BMBF. PT-IT has been performing project management duties for the Ministry for many years, covering a range of topics in several R&D key areas aimed at application-oriented, holistic, interdisciplinary research and development funding and long-term economic effects in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT).
The funded projects are largely joint projects carried out with several consortium partners and lasting up to five years, and have entailed the development and application of substantial expertise in research funding, technology and market trends. In addition to technological innovations, the funded projects have allowed us to gain important knowledge and experience in areas such as legal frameworks, business models, standardisation and social acceptance. The Project Management Agency can also draw on a wide range of administrative experience in working with an SMB clientele that often has no previous experience of project funding, and with highly heterogeneous consortia.
We consider our interdisciplinary work, our experience of contributing to ever-changing combinations of ICT and various fields of application, to be a specific and arguably unique competency of the Project Management Agency Information Technology. This also includes the ability of our research assistants to communicate with and moderate between representatives of different subject areas, allowing us to build a relationship of trust in our administrative and technical work both with our client and the funding recipients. This "bridge function" of the Project Management Agency has contributed significantly to the success of previous funding measures.

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PlayStation 2) review
"As Sly Cooper, you'll be able to learn quite a bit as one page of the Thievius Raccoonus after another falls into your paws. There are somewhere around 15 moves--some of them merely enhancements of simpler ones--that you can learn. But here's the best part: none of them are required. You can go through the game without learning a single one if you're so inclined."

Families & Pets
The Bath Priory provides many facilities for children so that you are able to make the most of your family holiday.
Young children, as long as they are accompanied by an adult, are welcome to use the indoor and outdoor pools (time restrictions apply) and the gardens are ideal for little explorers - although watch out for the pond with toddlers. There is a croquet set available for children to use in the gardens. Easter is particularly popular with the children, when Easter egg hunts are held in the gardens.
Children over 12 years are more than welcome to dine in our restaurant from the a la carte menu, or alternatively we propose a children's high tea between 5pm - 6pm. Room service is also available. When parents need a little time for themselves, Ofsted-approved babysitters can be pre-booked. High chairs are available in the restaurant and cots can be provided in the rooms.
The luxurious suites Camden & Somerset, situated in our Crescent Suites, provide the perfect retreat for families. Somerset provides bunkbeds, perfect for children, and Camden has an extra single room. Some of our light and spacious lounge areas in the suites offer glorious views over the gardens. If your young ones get bored with the toys, there are also plenty of children DVDs to choose from in-room.
There is plenty in and around Bath for children to enjoy - from adventure playgrounds and sprawling parks with duck ponds, to indoor soft play centres, wildlife attractions, zoos and a children's theatre. The Bath Priory's Guest Services' Manager will be happy to provide further information, along with a personalised itinerary.
The excellent combination of attentive service, luxurious surroundings and superb food make this a family friendly hotel with a difference.
As well as being 'family friendly', The Bath Priory also welcomes your canine friends.
There are two dog friendly rooms in the main hotel, Moringa & Foxglove, available for small breeds. Please note that the hotel is not able to accept puppies or large breeds in the rooms (dogs must be ten months or over).
There is a charge of £10.00 per dog, per night and each animal will be provided with a bowl and a dog basket, should this be required.
Exercising your little friends could not be easier with Royal Victoria Park right on the doorstep. Dogs are allowed in our grounds, however we ask that you keep to the far side of the gardens and away from any guests that might be dining.
We request that dogs are kept on leads when passing through the public areas, but otherwise we look forward to welcoming them!

The scale and breadth of the challenge facing IT today is truly breathtaking. Firms have been battered by the global economic conditions, stringent cost control is a fact of life for most organisations for the foreseeable future and IT organisations are having to adapt to this leaner world. At the same time, companies and organisations are looking to IT to support and enable the business growth agenda. How IT meets these potentially conflicting priorities will help determine the winners and the losers, and IT effectiveness will be a key contributor to the overall performance of IT. This study examines how various organisations are set to meet these challenges. We have examined what differentiates top performing IT organisations from their peers and what key capabilities underpin their performance. We have identified the specific, key challenges that are changing the IT industry and flagged the capabilities that IT needs to develop in order to succeed going forward. We have also examined the priorities of the various respondents to understand where the focus of IT will be over the coming period and what the key priorities and challenges will be.

Oct 29, 2012, Hollywood,Ca. --- "OPENING DAY" --- Superstar Manny Pacquiao hits the mitts with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach (L) at the Wildcard Boxing Club as he opens camp in preparation for the upcoming fourth fight of his historic rivalry against three-division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions, Zanfer Promotions, Marquez Boxing, Tecate and MGM Grand, Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay Per View from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, Dec. 8. --- Photo Credit : Chris Farina - Top Rank
Da Manny took a call while taking a sh*t an hour ago. Hahaha! Don't you scribes think over reporting may be going on?
Write about how fighters in the Big Apple are helping with flooding. It would especially be a nice piece about that cat who was born with one hand, but is still able to punch out a muthasucka. Holla!
4sho'. We all know Manny is about to beat up on sparring partners. It's always the same wash, rinse, repeat script comin' from the Wild Card. Zzzzzzzzz.
I read the funniest quote today from MAyweather Sr. It's going on 48 rounds to a attempt to do what his son did in 12 with Marquez. Senior is a jive talking ego maniac most of the time but that truly is the genuine truth. Lmao.
Pop Joys May's arse never could count. He saw 06 on his b-day cake, instead of 60. And I know his arse ain't that dumb. Actually the dance between Da Manny and the crybaby is going onto the 37th round. It could go to the 48th round. But I doubt it, because Marquez's game have gone to the lost and found. He reminds me of a lost hound. I cannot wait to hear his next bytch-barking sound.
"Ev'ybodee kno' I wuz gonna win gen, but da referee stop fight cause dey want Pacquiao win cause Mayweather fight. Mayweather will easy beat he."
WTF! Money May will get KayoED much earlier then the obnoxious crybaby. Holla!
You vs senior In a verbal poem/rap/riddle match up would be much more entertaining. Lmao.
I met him in Big Bear back when he was training DLH. He was telling me the real story about how him and Pedro Fernandez were about to throw blows. Lol, funny cat to yap with.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Big Sur Madness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
So once again I'm Ti Jean the Child, playing, sewing patches, cooking suppers, washing dishes (always kept the kettle boiling on the fire and anytime dishes needed to be washed I just pour hot hot water into pan with Tide soap and soak them good and then wipe them clean after scouring with little 5-&-10 wire scourer) (7.1)
Jack is always calmed by labor – he seems most peaceful while he's working at something.
Quote #5
The blue sky adds "Dont call me eternity, call me God if you like, all of you talkers are in paradise: the leaf is paradise, the tree stump is paradise, the paper bag is paradise, the man is paradise, the fog is paradise" -- Can you imagine a man with mar-velous insights like these can go mad within a month? (7.5)
The constant reminders of Jack's impending madness make us wonder about the perspective of the writer himself – how sane is our author at the time of writing?
Quote #6
Suddenly, boom, the door of the cabin is flung open with a loud crash and a burst of sunlight illuminates the room and I see an Angel standing arm outstretched in the door! -- It's Cody! all dressed in his Sunday best in a suit! beside him are ranged several graduating golden angels from Evelyn golden beautiful wife down to the most dazzling angel of them all little Timmy with the sun striking off his hair in beams! -- It's such an incredible sight and surprise that both Pat and I rise from our chairs involuntarily, like we've been lifted up in awe, or scared, tho I dont feel scared so much as ecstatically amazed as tho I've seen a vision... (23.4)
Jack's delirium isn't just about nightmare and terror; his highs are as extreme as his lows.

Feb. 17, 2008
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- UCLA returned to tough-nosed defense, its passion stoked by crosstown rival Southern California and first-place in the Pac-10 on the line.
Darren Collison scored 14 points, Kevin Love added 13 and the sixth-ranked Bruins won 56-46 Sunday night to remain atop the league by a half-game.
"I'd be lying if I said we didn't look at the standings," said Love, who grabbed 15 rebounds for his 15th double-double. "Tonight was a big win."
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his return after missing two games because of a sprained left ankle. He helped Love on the boards and backed up Russell Westbrook's stellar defense on O.J. Mayo, who scored a season-worst four points in 40 minutes.
Coming off a loss at Washington last Sunday, the Bruins (22-3, 10-2) maintained their narrow conference lead over No. 7 Stanford.
"Luc was a huge boost for us even though he's not at full strength," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "Russell did a great job on Mayo, one of the best players in the country."
Taj Gibson had 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 12 rebounds to lead the Trojans (15-9, 6-6), denied their first sweep in the crosstown rivalry since 2003-04.
"That team is just a great team," Gibson said.
Dwight Lewis added 16 points. Mayo took just eight shots (he averages 20.2 points), had nine rebounds and 10 turnovers in what might have been the final college game between him and fellow freshman phenom Love.
"O.J. is a great player and to force him into 10 turnovers is pretty monumental," Love said.
"Russell's (Westbrook) defense was phenomenal. He and Luc (Richard Mbah a Moute) were MVPs of this game. Probably a lot of what they did didn't show up on the stat sheet. We played harder. Guys took it personal."
Darren Collison on the team's defense
Mayo strained his left groin in practice Wednesday, but he denied it affected his ability to cut and move off screens.
"I don't think my groin had anything to do with my decisions with the ball," he said. "I played pretty good defense on myself with all the turnovers. I just didn't play well. Sometimes it happens."
Mayo failed to reach double figures for the first time this season.
The Bruins avenged last month's 72-63 upset loss in Westwood in an emotionally charged game that featured a combined 32 turnovers (22 by USC) and poor shooting by both teams over the final 6:22.
Love grabbed the last rebound and hung onto the ball for the final seven seconds. A grinning Collison stuck out his tongue at Love and they hugged as time expired.
"Russell's defense was phenomenal," Collison said. "He and Luc were MVPs of this game. Probably a lot of what they did didn't show up on the stat sheet. We played harder. Guys took it personal."
USC was without starting guard Daniel Hackett, whose season is in jeopardy because of a stress fracture in his lower back and a torn oblique muscle.
"It's tough to sit on the sideline and watch," Hackett said. "Guys were tired out there. It's tough when you play six guys. They had fresh bodies coming in every two or three minutes."
Hackett's absence forced coach Tim Floyd to shorten his bench and he used just one sub, Keith Wilkinson, the entire game. As a result, Gibson, Angelo Johnson, Lewis and Mayo played all 40 minutes.
"Fatigue wasn't a factor," Floyd said. "They did a good job with Westbrook on O.J. He had his struggles. I'm sure there were some plays he'd like back. O.J. was probably not 100 percent, but we're not using injuries as an excuse."
The Trojans never led by more than one point in the first half, when they shot 48 percent. The Bruins outscored them 17-8 to end the half ahead 31-23 despite shooting 37 percent from the floor.
Gibson scored USC's first six points of the second half and Lewis added a basket to pull within four. But the Bruins used a 10-2 run to extend their lead to 45-33 with 11 1/2 minutes remaining. Love scored five consecutive points and Collison completed a three-point play in the spurt.
Gibson's two free throws again drew the Trojans within four before both teams went into a shooting funk that kept USC from making a run.

Over the years, Moore has picked roles in more winners than clunkers. Her secret to sifting cinematic gold? "I'm a really good reader," she says. "Sometimes I think if I'd followed what interested me, I'd have ended up a librarian or an English teacher. When I started acting in high school, it just felt like reading aloud. So when I read a script now, when I can hear it and it comes alive, it's like, This script is great! I'll do this."
Back in 1996, one script she loved on first read was The Myth of Fingerprints, a family drama written by Freundlich, then an aspiring director and nine years her junior. She signed on and found herself scheduled to do her most difficult, emotional scenes at the start of shooting. "I was very focused. Then, when I'd done all of that, I woke up at the end of the first week and went, 'Oh, he's cute,' " she says, laughing. "So it kind of happened then."
What happened was that the two became involved, her first (and last) on-set affair with a director. A romance between actress and director seemed to Moore a show business cliché; she says, "I was hugely embarrassed about it, so I tried to keep it a secret. Ellen knew. I was on the phone with her and I wouldn't admit it, but she knew and she was going, 'Don't do it.' But I always say, it all worked out. We stayed together, and we have these kids together."
The couple wed in 2003 with their offspring in attendance. Barkin, who had been at the hospital with Moore for Caleb's birth and rubbed her feet when she was in labor with Liv, lent her friend a pair of long, dangly diamond earrings for the wedding. "It was the something borrowed," says Barkin. "She looked beautiful."
Moore says she and her husband realized on their most recent wedding anniversary that they've now been hitched longer than they lived together pre-ceremony. "We were like, 'Wow, we did it!' Marriage is commitment; it's the ultimate challenge. It's a very mature, adult kind of thing to do, to say I choose to have a household with you, children with you, to spend time with you." And that gets her back, as so many things do, to the idea of narrative. "Family is the ultimate narrative," she says. "It gives a story to your life in a remarkable way. And a witness."
HER FAMILY focus is so strong that she celebrated a recent birthday by going to Paris with her husbandandkids, because the couple couldn't bear to leave them behind. And yet most years, Moore manages to act in two or three movies; Being Flynn opens March 2. She also appears in advertising campaigns, saying the lucrative paychecks from companies such as Talbots, Bulgari, Revlon and Coach enable her to take roles in microbudget indie films.
Her nonacting activities are so extensive that she clearly could teach a course in time management. Maybe even to beavers. She volunteers for Save the Children, Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign (which advocates for marriage equality, among other goals). And she writes children's books, including the best-selling semiautobiographical series Freckleface Strawberry, about a girl with red hair. The first Freckleface book has been adapted to a long-running Off-Broadway musical, and a non-Freckle kids' book is in the works. This backup career, she says, "isn't terribly remunerative, but it's a lot of fun."
Moore's identity appears to be cheerfully grounded in reality, and that attitude extends to the question of plastic surgery. She hasn't had it and doesn't plan to: "I feel that, with a few exceptions, people always look like they've had surgery; they don't look any younger. I'm 51, and no matter what I do to my face, I'm still going to be 51.
"Age is about life span, about the journey we take," she says, and then returns to her favorite trope. "It gets back to narrative: You have to be where you are in your story and enjoy it for what it is." And with that she departs, heading home to add another page to the unfolding story of her life.

Studies have shown that the United States has the capacity to reduce the amount of non-transportation energy it uses by 23% within the next six years. It is estimated that doing so could save more than $1.2 trillion in wasted energy costs.
That is the impetus behind an energy efficiency bill that – in a rare act of bipartisanship – is being sponsored by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH). When first introduced last year, the bill simply sought to create new energy-saving standards for homes and businesses.
The goal was to strengthen building codes, encourage manufacturing efficiency, and called for improvements in energy equipment in government building and technology infrastructure. As is typical with much well-intentioned legislation, the bill languished in the Senate.
Now, however, a revamped bill is gaining traction in Congress. It includes bipartisan amendments, such as the extension of these standards to public low-income housing projects and a new "Tenant Star" recognition program to acknowledge energy-saving achievements in schools and businesses. If passed, the Shaheen-Portman Bill will be the first energy legislation passed by the Senate since 2007.
Proponents of the bill claim it will save consumers $59 billion through 2030 and will not contribute at all to the federal deficit as the new energy technologies will swiftly pay for themselves. Opponents maintain that the measure would create a number of wasteful programs and would fail to change the climate in any meaningful way because the federal government is the single largest energy user in the country and has less incentive than businesses and homeowners to save money.

As promised, there is no room for romance in the upcoming One Direction documentary, "One Direction: This Is Us." Director Morgan Spurlock previously stated that the Harry Styles/Taylor Swift relationship wouldn't make it into the film, out August 30, and in fact, none of the members' romantic relationships are featured in the flick.
Spurlock opened up to MTV News about his decision to omit that aspect of their personal lives, but instead focus on their hectic careers and familial relationships.
"I made it a point to leave relationships out of the film. They're young men and from the very beginning I said I don't really want to have their girlfriends/relationships be in the movie 'cause god forbid in the middle of this shooting, somebody breaks up with a girlfriend," he explained. "And now I've got a story point that really isn't a story point; it doesn't really matter."
Spurlock revealed that that was the case for one of the guys, Liam Payne, who ended a relationship with longtime girlfriend Danielle Peazer in the midst of making the 3-D doc/concert film.
"And, in fact, over the course of us shooting that happened to Liam," Spurlock recalled. "Like Liam broke up with a girl he was dating over the course of this. I think the story Liam tells about relationships is a much better story.
Catch One Direction during our All Access live stream at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday (August 24)!
"Like in the film he's got a great line where he's like 'I just want to make sure somebody appreciates me for me, that's it's not all about this.' For me, that's a much more important story for a kid. He's a young man who's world-famous and has more money than he can ever spend, now suddenly to have someone judge you just for you and not because of that is borderline is impossible."
Before the movie hits theaters on August 30, 1D is slated to appear at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. 1D is up for Best Song of the Summer for their single "Best Song Ever" at the VMAs. They are currently ahead in the competition, with Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" trailing behind. The show goes live from Brooklyn's Barclays Center at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Forecast discussion: Boston has enjoyed a remarkable streak of above average temperatures for the last several days. In fact, the capital city reached 52 degrees on Sunday. Unfortunately, this mild weather is heading south. Also, we have the chance at two weather systems bringing back some snow.
A frontal boundary has passed to our east, and this system is what will help usher back the colder air from Canada. A weak disturbance will pass through later tonight, helping to trigger some precipitation. It will begin as rain showers before mixing and then changing to snow showers. The precipitation will not last long, as it will shut off by the start of the morning commute on Monday. But, a coating to an inch on the ground is expected. There is a slight chance parts of Plymouth County will see 2 inches, due to some snow bands training, or continuously moving over the area. So, just take extra time to make it to work or school in the morning.
Winds will also increase Monday afternoon, as the high pressure ridge builds back over the area. It will continue to give us dry, cold weather into Tuesday night. As we move into Wednesday, old man winter is going to return. A low pressure system developing off the coast of North Carolina, coinciding with a weak low over New York will help bring significant snowfall. At this time, it appears the Cape and Islands will see the heaviest snowfall totals, and that could be 3-6 inches at this time. However, if the low continues to move further out to sea, then the snow totals will go down.
All snowfall will end by the early evening, and then temperatures will plummet. Some areas north and west of Boston will see temperatures Wednesday night fall into the single digits, with winds chills at or below zero. Temperatures during the daytime will be well below normal, and we will not even reach freezing. By the weekend, a disturbance passing to our south at the surface will combine with moisture coming off the Great Lakes. On Saturday, with a low moving south of the region, the precipitation will make its way into Southern New England. We will see more light to moderate snow Saturday afternoon, before ending early Sunday morning. With the help of fresh snowfall and Arctic air, temperatures will only reach the upper teens for highs, and lows falling into the middle single digits.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Mostly cloudy with isolated rain showers by 11 p.m. changing to snow showers after 3 a.m. We will see a low of 29 with increasing winds.
Monday: Mostly cloudy and windy with snow showers ending by mid-morning. Mostly sunny skies expected the rest of the day. It will be colder with a high of 33. Total snowfall amounts will be a coating to an inch. Winds will come from the west-northwest at 16-19 mph.
Monday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 19. Winds will come from the west-northwest at 13-16 mph.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny with a high of 29.
Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy with a low of 19.
Wednesday: Cloudy with light to moderate snow showers by the late morning, and ending by the early evening. We will see a high of 29.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy and cold with a low of 11.
Extended Forecast:
Thursday: Mostly sunny skies. Highs 25-28, lows 11-14.
Friday: Mostly sunny. Highs 26-29, lows 14-17.
Saturday: Cloudy with light to moderate snow starting by the early afternoon. Highs 26-29, lows 9-12.
Sunday: Snow ends by 2 a.m. with mostly sunny skies. Highs 18-21, lows 5-8.

Consistency of the silhouette marks the India ink and collage works of Mark Moleski. The artist works with themes of politics, contemporary life and fashion. Within this style, Moleski has created several series including Shoes, Furniture and Untold Stories. He also has new works in process incorporating people in poses of exercise or depicting cycles of society via collage in the form of tumbling leaves. Moleski has a background in graphic design and fine art. The influences of graphic design blend with the sensibilities of fine art elements and textures. Moleski says of his media," the manageability of India ink and its uncontrollable results" allow for a comfortable chaos, while the control of collage introduces crisp edges and social commentary. The fusion of the controlled graphic elements, contextual thematic, textural fluidity and expressive qualities of the painterly ink handling set this work apart.
Some of Moleski's works show touches of whimsy, such as those in the series Shoes and Furniture. The former, Shoes, plays with the color and palette of magazines for its collage. The works utilize images within the image, thus the viewer will find the shoes whose silhouette is depicted within the collage. In two works from the Furniture series, the artist plays with context. In Moon Birds, four chairs become "kooky characters" in an ambiguous space. While Cave Dweller, incorporates the design of Phillip Stark's ghost chair removed from its context and rearranged, so it becomes personified.
His Untold Stories series evolved from student paintings involving the shadow or silhouette. These medium scale works on paper feature collections of figures upon landscapes, abstract and symbolic backgrounds. Some of the works incorporate soft hints of color. These stories reflect upon the fact that the media often tells a one-sided tale. Clipping from the newspaper, Moleski selects a fragment of a story, wherein a photograph occurs. From this photograph, he claims the silhouette of figures, and then he re-groups them to tell a new story. The viewer can find a part of the original photograph within the final image.
The titles are based on altered meanings of terminology. For example, in soccer, the term Dangerous Play refers to the act of risking injury to an opponent with a reckless or clumsy challenge. In context of the works of Moleski, the title and the clippings employed refer to larger conflicts around the world. In this work the conflict is conveyed and depicted in the form of soccer player's silhouettes. Faded Glory is composed of clippings about deaths of members of the military. Into the background the artist has depicted soft sweeps of the American flag's colors. The artist's colors suggest that by these deaths, the flag's potency is faded and shredded. Moleski draws attention to the significance of American freedoms that are impacted by war and the losses of life.
Moleski's recent works have transitioned to even more focused political statements. During the October exhibit, timed to coincide with Artist's Month, the artist presented a series based on the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The company's advertising campaign, designed to claim responsibility for "Making it Right," are full page ads which Moleski uses for his collage elements. Each work depicts animal, water fowl and marine life affected by the spill. The gloss and matte surfaces in India ink correlate to the oil spilled and poisoning the water. The BP logo is placed where the creature's eyes would be. This is how the ad is incorporated in the diving bird in the work We Will Make It Right. In Plankton, the centers of the cells are depicted with the logo.
Returning to some of his early silhouette paintings of wrestlers, led the artist to elaborate upon the forms of taut effort at exercise in the series of sports works in progress. His silhouettes in this series no longer use the collage element. Instead they take the place of the darkness while the backgrounds are swirling patterns and designs. The first four, which hang in the artist's studio, depict male figures while the designs balance the masculinity with floral and feminine patterning. Moleski plans to produce counterparts with female figures and masculine designs. This ongoing series juxtaposes the variations of figure, gender, and stylistically gendered design.
In the series which focuses on the cycles of life, the leaves depict and represent pieces of the context. In one work the focus is on fashion and style. Two others focus on themes of pattern and travel. A large work charts the tradition of depicting the female nude in art. The leaves cluster or stray from a tumbling spin, their colors and patterns drawing the eye in.
Moleski is an artist in residence at the Coalition Gallery at the Merchandise Mart. This position, originally a six month residency, has been extended another six months for Moleski and his fellow resident artists. Through the efforts of Pepper… of the Chicago Artist Coalition, and the Merchandise Mart staff, the gallery and the artist studios in suite 1562 diversify the offerings at the Mart. The collaboration has thus far introduced a new element of fine art and offered a few dealers the opportunity to incorporate pieces from their showrooms into the gallery environment. The artist is generally in the gallery Monday to Friday, from nine a.m. to six p.m., working in the studio. The current exhibit, including Moleski's works on the oil spill remains up through October 2010.

Listen to the first single off Func VS Pentagram's Skank Be The Rock.
We recently put out news of a new reggae album to arrive on the scene in the form of Skank Be The Rock, Randolph 'Func' Correia's reworkings of a number of Pentagram classics. Today, we're streaming 'In My Head', the first single off the album, slated to release one week from now on Friday, July 26.
It's been a while since a homegrown reggae song was released and the Func VS Pentagram version of 'In My Head' takes the chugging, industrial electro-rock crowd-killer (off 2011′s Bloodywood; review) and gives it some staccato skank, complete with brass and other frills, and allows Vishal Dadlani's words to implode all over the track.
Stream Func VS Pentagram's 'In My Head' below.
For a free download, head over to Func's Soundcloud page. Listen to Pentagram's version of 'In My Head' here.

Do you ever wonder why were here?
John looked down at the set of female legs protruding from out of the maintenance shaft. When he responded, it was in a thick, southern accent that bore its origins in the North American continent of Earth.
Really? came the inquisitive reply. The legs squirmed for a few moments before the asari they were attached to finally pushed herself out of the shaft. She sat up and used a dirty rag to wipe some black smug off her face, though there was no noticeable difference between the two or her black and white jumpsuit. She looked up at him with bright red eyes.
Yes. John replied again, slightly shifting his body against the wall he was leaning on. His bulky armor did not make his position the most comfortable of ones, but hed long learned to ignore the discomfort. His weapons were holstered on his back and waist, and John merely had his arms crossed as he talked to the young asari.
She looked slightly confused. But wait, youre a Chr-whatever? The human god-son thing. Youre supposed to be wondering why youre here.
The Bible says that those who believe do not need to wonder.
Okay, what about the people who dont read the Bible and have minds of our own?
Then I would suggest reading
or, if youre more into the opposite of what that says, maybe
The God Delusion
So its either or to you?
Selia, you are asking why we are here. I am telling you that I know why I am here because of my belief in God, not as to whether one exists. Those were reading suggestions.
It just seems a bit primitive and short-sighted when were out here among the stars.
Well, nobody has ever told me that I am an articulate man. As for being short-sighted, I get a good view of quite of few things with this helmet. John laughed, eyeing her up. Technically, he could have done so without her even knowing. However, it was just as easy to let visible motion guide his head down her body and get a reaction.
The look of shock of Selias face as she realized what he was doing and the subsequent rag-to-the-face-camera was what John was looking for. He was prepared when she wound up and threw the rag at his helmet, catching it in his hand before it could dirty up his optical feed.
You quarian pervert!
What John was not prepared for was Selia going for her tool box and pulling out the first she could find: a wrench. A sudden thwack to his helmet, followed by him seeing stars solidified this fact. He was recovering when Selai tackled him to the ground.
A Chr-whatever, yeah right!
At this point John was laughing heavily, between Selia on top of him delivering weak punches and her poorly worded insults. After a few punches, she stopped. John looked up and she was grinning devilishly, and he could feel his own smile grow wider. Selias face leaned closer to Johns and her hands made their way up to the back of his helmet as his went up her back...
GS Valkerie, this is control - you are clear to land in Dock 17.
Selias smile disappeared, replaced by a frown, and John could feel his undergoing the same change. She got off of him and he stood up, the stance of both of them slightly awkward. John turned to leave, but before he could, Selia grabbed his helmet and gave it a quick kiss before literally diving back into the maintenance shaft. Johns smile returned as he headed toward the mess.
When John entered the mess, he saw Taru in his customary corner and gave a slight nod to the drell before heading into the kitchen to grab a tube of nutrient paste. When the Captain entered the mess, John saw him and said Good morning Captain! How goes your captainly duties?

Amy Donaldson: Everyone should care that Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series will no longer support elite runners
The truth is that CGI built the RNR series on the backs of runners like Keflezighi. Having elite runners in town means a lot more media coverage.
That media coverage attracts recreational runners like me. And having thousands of people sign up for a race that they know they'll never win is how a company like CGI makes millions.
CGI reportedly said in that email to sports agents that it planed to use the more than $400,000 that it spends on elite athletes to cater to the "back-of-the-pack" runners. Does that mean the end of $145 entry fees? Does that mean the races won't run out of food and water for those of us who finish in four or five hours? Does that mean we won't have to wait nearly 20 minutes after the gun goes off just to get across the start line?
Part of catering to us recreational runners is allowing us the opportunity to meet the athletes who inspire us. Running is a unique sport in that the business side is driven as much by those of us who just participate as it is by competitive athletes.
How many recreational basketball players get to compete on the same court as the NBA's best? How many recreational tennis players get to play in the same tournament as the world's best?
That is part of the magic of a marathon.
When I run a race, I line up at the same start line, cover the same course and cross the same finish line as the sport's elite athletes. The reason the energy at a marathon is special is because we recreational runners are part of the same race where world records are set.
If CGI is really interested in investing in the back-of-the-pack, they should do more to put us in touch with and in the same room as the sport's most elite athletes. I don't want more bananas and bagels; I want to an hour with Olympic bronze medalist Deena Kastor.
It's in listening to their stories that I've decided to change my own mind about what's possible for me. It is in understanding their accomplishments that I've chosen different, more difficult paths for myself.
And it's in witnessing their greatness that I feel more power in what I'm able to accomplish in my own much smaller universe.
I may not know what it feels like to break the tape, but I know what it's like to drag myself miles and miles past what I thought was possible. I know what it's like to feel like I can't possibly take another step — and then take 1,000 more.
And maybe most importantly, I understand the symbiotic relationship between runners like Keflezighi and Kastor and joggers like myself. CGI's refusal to support them means they are refusing to invest in the continued development of the sport that has enriched countless lives.
At the end of the day, runners, whether they're competitive racers or weekend warriors, are part of a community that values commitment to the accomplishments of us all.

Ecuador Update 7
We're back! We made it back safe and sound this afternoon around 4:00 pm. The jungle was amazingly beautiful and we had a wonderful time.
We left El Refugio around 8:30 am on Wednesday morning. We all had to pack everything we needed for two days (including towel and 2 pairs of shoes) in a backpack. We made the six hour trek through the winding mountains without anyone getting sick. However, I think most of us took Dramamine! We stopped 1/2 way to eat some sandwiches on the side of the road and made it to a small town called Rio Negro in time for dinner. We split into two teams: one team went to a Young Life meeting and the other group held a VBS for the children of the town. Both events went really well but it was a long day and we didn't get to the house where we were sleeping until about 11 pm. It was raining really hard all afternoon, evening and through the night.
The next morning we were up early so we could load the bus and head about an hour into the jungle to hike up to the waterfall where about 13 of our students were gettting baptized. It was still pouring in the morning, but by the time we arrived at our location, it was only overcast and we had a rain free day. We took some time to hear the students testimonies before hiking to the waterfall for the baptisms. It was such a special time! It was even more special because both Pastor Sterling and Pastor Brian had arrived on Tuesday evening and Sterling was able to perform the baptisms and Pastor Brian baptised his son Micah.
That afternoon we went to the Young Life Center to have lunch and hear about their ministry. We then toured Nate Saint's House. He was one of the 5 missionaries killed while trying to reach the Waorani Tribe. We then hiked to a waterfall called the devils Cauldron. A beautiful and powerful waterfall! After the waterfall hike, Rick Borman had arranged for us to have dinner at a local trout farm. I was amazed at how many of the students not only ate the smoked trout, but even tried the eyeballs!
Unfortunately, we had to say good bye to Rick Borman after dinner as he had to head back to the states. But we all feel so fortunate and grateful to have had him with us for so much of our trip!
After dinner, we headed back to the house and enjoyed a wonderful evening of worship and was blessed to have Pastor Brian share Gods word with us. We then had some free time of just hanging out. The house was very large and open so we had some students singing and playing the guitar and bongo drum, while several groups played cards, twister, hung out and talked, etc. it was a wonderful day!!!
This morning we got to sleep in just a little … Didn't have breakfast until 8 am! We needed to get packed up and clean the house then loaded the bus for the long trek home. The bus trips were a lot of fun with lots of laughter, games, yelling through tunnels, and sleeping. Once again, Dramamine was in high demand, and no one got sick. Once we got near Quito, we stopped at a local supermarket so we could buy some food gifts to bring home to our family and friends. The "mora" jelly is one of the favorites items coming home.
We have our final full work day tomorrow. Please continue to pray for continued good health and good attitudes as we complete our last couple days.
Team Quito Quest

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Amazingly, it works
Posted by 5542580135109936383 on Jun 14, 2016
I would have never tried this product if it wasn't for my friend who bought this spray. She got it for her kids and mostly used it on them. One night when I was staying over at her place, I ended up with a sore throat, so she offered me to try this throat spray. I was very sceptical, but having nothing else to use, I tried it. The nasty sensation disappeared almost immediately! Now it's a must have in my medicine drawer. And yes, it also freshens breath as it says on the bottle.

This came 2 days before I ca,e down with a seriously sore throat and a cold. I woke up at night with that tight, dry and painful feeling, and gave a couple of sprays - it was wonderful. A cool cave opened in my throat and I was able to fall asleep right away.

We bought our first bottle of this earlier this winter, and our whole family has used it at the onset of a sore throat, and it really does soothe and seems to stop the sore throat from getting worse. I don't want to be without this anymore!!
