I just got the W movie channel and this is what they showed tonight. The listings said Contact with Jodie Foster was on. Instead, they showed this derivative, hackneyed, poorly acted and amateurishly written made-for-TV movie. Someone is clearly asleep at the channel, but I gave it a chance. It does have a plot that seems to be leading up to a violent encounter a la Single White Female. There is tension - who is going to get hurt or killed? Everything that is going to happen is telegraphed and obvious. I won't put any spoilers here, but it was watchable purely because of the hilariously bad (like a high school play) acting and the unbelievably overdone plot - haven't we seen a story like this about 1,000 times only without the plot fizzling out? PS I found out the name of it by typing in the keyword "roommate" in IMDb.
I didn't expect too much from a TV mini-series based on an adventure
novel, which was later made into a big budget action film.
I had not enjoyed the 2002 version of The Bourne Identity with Matt Damon, but this one was gripping from the first frame. I read a lot of the reviews and posts here as I always do to compare reactions, and found people were praising some elements, and criticizing others. Here is how it affected me.
Primarily it was a story about a man's search for his identity, and Chamberlain, never known as the greatest actor in the world, was very believable and effective. Jaclyn Smith was just adequate in her role and she is definitely one of the worst actresses they could have chosen, but one can't have everything. She makes good eye candy. The movie's other characters played pivotal roles and delivered excellent characterizations. Notably Denholm Elliott as the doctor.
The story was a fast moving adventure, which was almost Hitchcockian, the story of one bewildered man with villains trying to kill him, and a random pretty girl he abducts to help him (also echoes of the Redford movie Three Days of the Condor), and the extensive scenery of Paris was beautiful. Except for the obvious pauses where commercials used to be, this looks like a real movie and not a TV series. It doesn't look cheaply made. They obviously took pride in this production.
But to me the most surprising thing of all was the human element, the complex emotions in the amnesiac's story. Richard Chamberlain delivered them far above what one would expect from him, or from a TV movie. Yet this movie is all but forgotten since the theatre versions were made. I think that Hitchcock, if he had been alive to make this picture, would himself have chosen Chamberlain as he was very much like the James Stewart "everyman" who raced against time to solve the mystery of his amnesia.
There are a few places where key scenes from the past are shown briefly and never explained (apparently a sequel was planned, which would explain them), and yet I was able to fill in a likely explanation, from my own imagination. This is the mark of good film making.
There were no fantastic special effects or avant garde techniques. It was straightforward story telling.
I am easily bored, highly critical, and so because I loved this, I am very surprised and had to post about it, in case it might help someone decide to go ahead and see it. Yes, it is well worth it and highly enjoyable. It hails from another era (where the story was more important than the chases and effects).
I am glad it is still available in video, and if I find it in DVD I will buy it because it was a movie I would like to see again. I still think about it - and went to the library to get the book the next day - and that rarely happens with an action movie of this type.
For a TV movie this is surprisingly well done. Many twists and turns in
the plot. Good characterizations by all the players.
I disagree with the negative comments here. The movie held my attention throughout and was a delight to watch. Faye Dunaway's portrayal of the dual roles was over the top but that was the nature of the two women she played. The actress Jane Wilkinson is clearly based on some of the mannerisms of Marilyn Monroe and Faye does this convincingly.
I didn't initially think Peter Ustinov would make a good Poirot, but he captures the detective's droll and determined persona and is quite convincing.
I wish they would make more movies like this. Though Peter and Faye are clearly the lead actors in it, there's an ensemble cast that works together to lead us on a merry chase of suspects. The locations are magnificent. All in all this is definitely worth watching even if it lacks the big budget of the ones Ustinov made for theatrical release.
I used to rate every movie I saw from one to four stars, and I was very
strict; four stars was the highest and it meant that: It surprised me
more than once (it was not predictable); it had a wonderfully rich
story; no plot holes or annoying gimmicks; good acting; no flaws;
gripping; held my attention throughout, and I cried at the end, because
it moved me so much. With this strictness, you can see that other
"great movies" would not get 4 stars from me.
Well, I am not going to write any spoilers or any reasons why I loved this movie. Let me just say that I don't care that much about rating movies anymore and most of them disappoint me either totally or in part and would get, say, 2 and a half stars even for quite a good movie.
But this movie, it shocked me - for once the critics weren't wrong: it is great.
It fulfilled my strictest criteria, and I have given it my highest rating.
I am especially pleased at the many extras on the DVD which add to the richness of the presentation of this story.
Wonderful - wonderful movie.
Bob Hope was 58 and Lana Turner was 40 when they made this movie. They
have no chemistry whatsoever so a romance is not believable. Perhaps
with softened makeup and hair she would have been appealing. Anyway the
story is beside the point now, 45 years later.
The movie is all about the huge, spacious, tract developments in undeveloped parts of California in 1961. I lived in one, so this movie takes me back there. Watching it takes me back to those days when Kennedy was the new president, when there were brand new houses in pale pink, light green, and yellow; each house divided from its neighbour by a row of cacti. Families moved to them from the older, two-story traditional houses. It was supposed to be a great thing to have no stairs; to live in a sprawling "rancher." Just looking at the houses with the huge kitchens and wall phones brings nostalgia, as only the very rich can afford space now; back then it was taken for granted.
A major "comedic" event in this film is Bob putting too much detergent in the washer, and the ensuing crisis when soap suds flood the entire house.
The houses were spacious and everything was inexpensive - such houses were $20,000 new. Nowadays any surviving houses from that era have been remodeled and no longer have the orange built-in bars, the gold appliances, or wood grained walls.
This is my parents' world, post-war - 16 years after the end of WW II. This is an era where everything is available, where the kitchen is the size of a restaurant, but there is no happiness whatsoever.
A scene in the supermarket is jarring when a little girl who had been left in the car by her mother is talking to Bob Hope and her mother comes along and just leaves her with him as she goes about her shopping. That would never happen now and reminds us of a more innocent and trusting time.
The development is called Paradise. It's more like Paradise Lost, or Discarded. There's a dark subplot of an unhappy marriage, a couple that is "practically divorced" and the wife (Janis Paige) is throwing herself at Bob Hope. But he's secretly a gentleman who only has eyes for the stiff, unmarried Lana Turner, and when he finally gets her, there is the obligatory panning across the floor showing their discarded clothing and then we hear her giggles. Just like a Rock Hudson/Doris Day ending.
Then the movie ends and I guess maybe we are meant to think they will have a real life together. They're too old to start having kids to populate the housing tract and be ignored and spoiled, so maybe they will write and think and discuss real things and have a happy life together.
The sixties are gone - but here in this movie we have the remnants of what it started out to be, if people could only have held on to it and preserved something for the future.
Who knew a fluff piece like this would be so thought provoking 40 years later.
I thank Turner Classics for realizing these are valuable period pieces that give us insight on a bygone age. An age where people lost the values they had in the 30s and 40s. After the war, people wanted comfort and ease, and wanted their kids to enjoy a carefree life without the privation of the depression and the war. Unfortunately it only shows that comfort and ease do not bring happiness.

This is the last episode of season 4 so I sadly wait for seasons 5 and
6 to be released and then there are no more that will be "new".
First of all this one has good colour and film quality unlike many of the previous colour episodes (except for the grainy and scratched stock footage of the naval ships inserted at various points in the story).
The plot is absurd yet it's possible to get into it simply because they all play it straight. Jimmy and Lois, in peril again, tied up and blindfolded, only this time Clark Kent is among them. It's a comedy but it's not very funny - just surreal. Leonard Mudie is one of the main pirates - he was Brockhurst in the most frightening and memorable episode, A Ghost For Scotland Yard. Here he plays a slapstick role in elaborate Shakespearean style.
The problems that keep this just a comic book episode are in continuity and plot holes. We see several pretty young women and there is no explanation where they came from. If the pirates are part of a family descended from other pirates who landed 300 years ago, where are the older women who would be the mothers of these girls? And inexplicably, one of the young women makes eyes at Jimmy Olsen even though they were never introduced. I suppose several scenes were trimmed out since there is so much going on.
Superman has to pretend to be tied up and captive until no one is around and he can change into Superman, which provides some tension, but since we know it's a matter of time till he saves the day, there's really no fear. The story falls apart as the pirates and the two criminals meander around doing random things. The criminals have a vague plan to steal the plane and escape with some of the jewels but they dither around and it never happens.
Superman finally gets to rush to the naval ship and tell them not to shoot, but they think he has gone insane when he tells them there are pirates living on the island. So he has to go back and bring proof: a photo he makes Jimmy take, and develops into a negative using his x-ray vision. Yet he never delivers the negative to the ship; it's too late as they start bombing and he has to stop each bomb and blow it up in mid air. We aren't able to see this because there would be no possible special effect - so various characters talk about what he is doing. These are some of the problems with the story. Too many things going on and it doesn't all flow together or end with proper resolution. Why have the whole picture taking scene unless the photo is going to be delivered in time to stop the bombing? I still think it's a fun episode, but it kind of plays like a comic book fantasy. Despite that, our heroes remain in character and give it their all.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is probably more implausible than any of the other outrageous scripts in this season. First of all, if Superman is frozen solid and chalky white, putting on Lois Lane's makeup (all over his face, neck, hands and hair!) would not make Clark look that natural. There would have to be some plausible reason why it would fool them. But this could only happen in a cartoon or a comic book. I just felt sorry for all of them having to act in this terrible story. This is not the real Superman series - the first two seasons are. Having said that, I still enjoyed the action and the danger. It's just that there is such a lack of subtlety or craftsmanship in these later episodes.
The upside down effect and the noise of the machine were absolutely nauseating which made this a hard episode to watch. Not to mention the invention made no sense at all. Compared to this I think I'd rather watch the episode with all the stolen bent knives, or the one with Chuck Connors and the mule. When the audio and visuals are both assaulting your senses, and the story is absurd, there is nothing else left but to ask "why did they do this?" This was probably the epitome of the show going downhill. It was 100% a kid's show by this point. Ah, what's the use in criticizing these later episodes - they too were made 50 years ago... how dare I nitpick? Well I'd like to go back in time and have some better episodes than these, that's all. They did not do justice to the great talent and charisma of George Reeves. He deserved better scripts than this.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
There are only 104 episodes. This is the only one where he calls her
darling and she calls him dear, so why begrudge them? In every Superman
movie and in the original comic book, there is some kind of romance
between Superman and Lois Lane. It had to occur at least once in this
My problem with it was simply that there wasn't enough romance and there wasn't even a kiss. It was too austere. If you are going to have a dream for Lois, it should be a white wedding. What was the matter with a white gown and veil? It's not as if she had been married before, or was over 50.
The worst part was the end. It totally fell apart. In her dream, Superman had confessed that he was Clark Kent and told her she must never tell anyone else. Then she goes ahead and blurts out in front of two other people "aren't you Superman?" Nice going Lois.
Then she doesn't want to know who sent her flowers in real life just in case it isn't Superman or Clark. Whoa. It doesn't ring true.
Anyway it was stilted and fake, but let's be fair, it was Lois's dream. As dreams go it was not the worst one ever shown on TV. And at least they got to embrace.
I really could not fathom the premise of the knife collection, and the
knife thefts. Even when it was explained it made no sense at all. It is
like they reached the bottom of the barrel in their list of ideas for
screenplays. Too bad! This is a very confused and convoluted story
without any really satisfying conclusion and without enough tension.
It's worth watching twice though, just to try to figure out what they
were trying to do with the story line, but it is frustrating. Superman
and Clark Kent hardly get a chance to shine in this one. After watching
it twice I still can't give you a good plot outline that would make you
want to see it. It's certainly one of the weaker episodes of the
series, unfortunately.
I am sorry to have to compare it with the excellence of the many episodes that remained memorable to me more than 50 years after I saw them as a child. But maybe that alone proves that this one does not meet the standards they had in the beginning.

Monkey or chicken?
Six-month-old Maxwell Drew Johnson just couldn't decide – so she went with both, Jessica Simpson Tweeted Wednesday.
The Fashion Star mentor, 32, shared family Halloween photos of her daughter being toted by fiancé Eric Johnson on her website, commenting, "Maxwell wanted to be a monkey too."
Which costume fit this cutie best? Given Simpson's infamous "Is this chicken or fish?" tuna gaffe, we're leaning towards Maxwell's feathery get-up.

In 1955, a 31-year-old Swiss ?migr? photographer named Robert Frank loaded his wife and two children into a rattletrap automobile and set out to discover America. Financed by a Guggenheim fellowship, over two years Frank took more than 28,000 shots, which he gradually winnowed to the 83 images he arranged in The Americans, his groundbreaking book of photographs.
"Robert Frank established a new iconography for contemporary America," said John Szarkowski, the influential curator at the Museum of Modern Art; "bits of bus depots, lunch counters, strip developments, empty spaces, cars, and unknowable faces." In his attempt to replicate Walker Evans?s celebrated documentation of the Great Depression, Frank abandoned the sharp focus, even framing, and careful lighting characteristic of postwar photography, a style Frank had mastered in his work for clients such as Vogue, Fortune, Life, and Harper?s Bazaar.
For his haunting representations of empty highways, desolate houses, and alienated individuals, Frank created a moody chiaroscuro: shadowed lighting, unusual angles, abrupt cropping, grainy texture, and deliberately blurred focus. The combination of subject and style seems a visual summary of the decade: The Lonely Crowd meets On the Road. (Indeed, Jack Kerouac wrote the introduction to the book.)
So revolutionary was The Americans that Frank had to publish the book in France; the first American edition appeared a year later, in 1959. The photography establishment, perhaps unsurprisingly, condemned it: Popular Photography, for example, disparaged Frank?s work as "meaningless blur, grain, muddy exposures, drunken horizons and general sloppiness"; sales amounted to only 600 the first year. However, for a young generation of photographers, The Americans was a revelation. Frank?s style of personal documentary, his "irony and detachment," as Walker Evans put it, is evident in the work of Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, Danny Lyon, Bruce Davidson, and Nan Goldin, among others. Frank himself received his first individual show in 1961, at the Art Institute of Chicago and first exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art the next year. "You can photograph anything now," Frank declared; as John Szarkowski commented, his "iconography has become a common coin," discernible in fashion advertisements, films, and rock music — perhaps Frank?s most widely seen work is the cover for the Rolling Stones? album Exile on Main Street.
Appearing at the close of the 1950s, The Americans has commonly been interpreted as a covert political judgment of the United States (random examples: "The Americans represented a significant challenge to America?s image of itself"; the book is "a critique of America"). Fifty years on, it may — at last — be possible to appreciate Frank?s achievement for its artistry, especially in Steidl?s beautiful new edition, which uses modern reproduction techniques and which enjoyed Frank?s close collaboration: he recropped some images and changed two of them from the original edition. And now that the aesthetic of The Americans is what most of us think of as the look of art photography, we no longer are disconcerted (or exhilarated) by the shock of the new. Rather, it is possible to confront, and to be confounded by, the sheer force of Frank?s vision.
A driven, uncompromising artist (shortly after finishing The Americans, he abandoned photography and devoted himself to filmmaking; his 30 movies include Pull My Daisy and a documentary about the Rolling Stones), Frank invests the subjects of his photographs with a psychic unease difficult to describe and impossible to evade. He depicts the ordinary — a political rally, a funeral, a college graduation, a cafeteria — yet imbues each with an uncanny malaise, the banality of the uncanny. His vision contrasts tellingly with that of a photographer who might seem a kindred spirit, Diane Arbus. However, Arbus?s choice of the outr? — the nudists, the freaks, the eccentrics — betrays her self-conscious self-satisfaction: what an arty outcast am I! Frank?s isolation is far more profound; his estrangement from the mundane is not a matter of choice but almost a psychic penance. And his craft is cunningly concealed. His snapshot aesthetic may appear casual, the images seemingly taken on the fly, but their composition serves to anchor as well as capture a fleeting moment, which, now recorded, becomes emblematic. (This technique of imposing artistic discipline on random contingencies recalls the work of another ?migr? master artist of the'50s: Alfred Hitchcock, cinema?s premier expositor of psychological subversion.)
Frank rigorously organized the sequence of photographs in The Americans. Each "chapter" begins with an image of the flag: obscuring the windows of a tenement, hanging on the wall of a Navy recruiting office, at a Fourth of July picnic, adorning a tavern between paintings of Washington and Lincoln. What follows may be a platform orator, a blunt depiction of racial segregation on a southern bus, a rodeo cowboy, a Yom Kippur service, a television studio, a sharecropper?s cabin. What story do these pictures tell? Who can say? Meaning seems to be just beyond comprehension, frustratingly present but tantalizingly out of reach. "I do not anticipate that the onlooker will share my viewpoint," Frank wrote in 1958. "I feel that if my photograph leaves an image on his mind — something has been accomplished." What is left by The Americans is an uncertain discomfiture, the quiet anxiety that one has beheld more than one has absorbed, let alone understood. And yet, one also feels that one knows more than one can express. The vision of Robert Frank is relentless but not dispassionate, penetrating but not cruel, witty but not cynical. Most of all, it is distinct, unitary, mastered by a determined exercise of artistic control. To view The Americans is to surrender to the exemplary power of artistic accomplishment.

radiator and coolant
Well thursday nite my truck decided it needed a new radiator. leaking where the plastic and aluminum come together. Anyways to get it home i stopped at the loca wal mart and picked up some universal green mixture antifreeze. Was not sure what was in the truck. Orange or green. It was 1145 pm. I am replaceing the radiator today. Have been reading that mixing orange and green not good. When i change out the rad. That should take out most if not all the universal coolant i bought right. Don,t want to mess up the new rad. any and all help will be appriciated. thanks
Yes, do a total flush and use what the mfgr recommends on coolant for your year & engine truck.
For your HEMI, use of Propylene Glycol coolants is not recommended.
Use a 50/50 mix of Ethylene Glycol & water solution. Mopar anti-freeze/coolant formula MS-9769 was used in your truck when new and was combined with organic corrosion resistors.
So a good Ethylene Glycol anti-freeze with corrosion protection, mixed 50/50 with water, will do the trick.
Your cooling system capacity is 16.2 quarts.
Great answer, Mike! :smileup: Keep us posted, redeye!
BTW, I moved your thread for you! :D
Make sure you don't use Tap water,Unless its an emergency.Mix with 50% distilled water
Or like Maddog said buy Manufacture recommendation 50/50 pre mixed.
Thanks guys. Got the rad. in and working fine. Used prestone with distilled water. 50/50 orange the good stuff. :smileup: Was not that bad of a job.

Connecticut Light & Power has now restored power to most of its customers in southeastern Connecticut who were left without electricity in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
CL&P reported as of 8:40 p.m. that 30,877 of its customers statewide were without power. That number — 2 percent of the utility's customers — dropped from more than 120,000 on Friday night and a peak of more than 600,000 earlier in the week.
The only town with a large number of outages remaining was Old Lyme where 419 or 7 percent of customers were still without power.
On Saturday a CL&P spokesman said the shoreline damage and outages in lower Fairfield County have been the biggest challenges for the utility.
"The damage on the shoreline is on par with New York and New Jersey," spokesman Mitch Gross said of the two states hit the hardest by Sandy. "We're talking about the total rebuilding of portions of our system."
CL&P said in a news release that it has repaired more than 800 broken utility poles and has restrung more than 78 miles of power cables. It said the power restoration effort included more than 7,000 storm responders from across the country.
Gross said the company still stands by its earlier estimate that projects a "substantial" restoration to customers by either Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, the critique of CL&P's response to the storm will likely continue.
"There will be plenty of time for assessment and comparison and measurement," Gross said. "Job No. 1 is getting those remaining customers back on as quickly and safely as we can."
East Lyme: 21 customers, or .22 percent of town
Groton: 20 customers, or .24 percent of town
Ledyard: 10 customers, or .15 percent of town

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

Here's a release with real legs — and feet. Although there's considerable race-related joking during the behind the scenes footage, everything shown during the actual release is as serious as having a girl stroke a cock with her feet until it ejaculates can be.
Each girl announces that "it's time to jam" and moves into position for a bit of foot adoration before showing her balance, control and level of ticklishness.
Luscious Lopez has tasty red toenails and pretty, silver strapped high heel sandals, and a languid way of masturbating while having her toes sucked. Aiden Starr asks Tony Tedeschi if he licks pussy like he licks toes. Liv Wylder encourages him to bite her toes. Kitty and Dwayne Cumminz look like they'd rather be elsewhere, and Franky Vixen's French pedicure inherits Nick East's appreciative spunk.
Retailing: Lovely feet and legs for those who consider them essential to sexual satisfaction.

Jun 16, 2014It's basically a copy of the ridge racer from the psp. Since psp games are very cheep to buy you might aswell buy the psp version. There's not much point.
Awards & Rankings
Mar 3, 2011Anyone looking for a true Ridge Racer experience shouldn't find one here, and with such a lack of true content and more of a DLC extravaganza, Namco has managed to once again destroy a once beautiful franchise.
Mar 3, 2011A disappointing effort that manages to stall on nearly every count from lacklustre racing to limited content to technical issues preventing play.
Mar 3, 2011There is nothing technically wrong with the game, but there is very little we could call right, either. It's the epitome of average. As such, we can hardly recommend this to anyone when there are much better racing games on the market.

The move announced Sunday follows an identical one by Verizon Wireless in April. AT
Extending the time between phone upgrades saves the phone companies money, since they subsidize each new phone by hundreds of dollars to make it available to customers for $199 or less. AT
The change reflects the growing popularity of expensive smartphones. Verizon subsidized upgrades after just 13 months until January 2011, just before it introduced the iPhone, one of the most expensive phones on a wholesale basis. Carriers pay Apple over $600 for it.
Dallas-based AT
Breaking with industry practices, No. 4 wireless carrier T-Mobile USA ditched its service contracts and phone-upgrade waiting periods in March. It now sells phones on installment plans, giving customers more flexibility on the timing of their phone upgrades.

Visual Art Group Show!: How Are the Artists Feeling Today?
posted by November 3 at 15:45 PMon
I called a bunch of artists this morning and asked to describe how they're feeling on the eve of the election by choosing a work of art that represents their mood. Here's what they came up with:
Brad Biancardi (who's right there in Chicago): Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper
Claude Zervas: Salish basket
Anne Mathern: Canned Heat doing "Going Up the Country"
Margie Livingston: Giacometti, The Artist's Mother
Whiting Tennis: Nothing. No work of art is real enough, he said while driving on tour with his band (he was heading into Baltimore and has spent the last few weeks listening to the Christian radio stations of the south, which has been upsetting): "This is not about metaphor or aesthetics. I'm almost at the point of not breathing. It feels like a make-or-break thing for me. I don't know if I could handle it if [Obama] doesn't win."
Matt Browning: Dan Attoe's Lightning storm above timberline (says in tiny letters at the top, "You still have some time")
Sherry Markovitz: One of Francis Bacon's screaming popes
Drew Daly: The Butthole Surfers, "Moving to Florida"
Margot Quan Knight had already made her own Obama-related work:
Here's a photo I took recently. I was watching the Daily Show and they were joking about "small town values" and how "American" values change depending on who you talk to. I made a 3 x 4 foot glass quilt out of pieces of mirror. I hang it up vertically and photograph the reflection on the mirrors. The quilt is a blank, it only gets color from the surroundings. So I'm taking it to different people's houses. This one was a test, during the first presidential debate.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
it`s missing some vocals. Good job bro.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
dont like it
i think it doesnt sound good. ummm. dont like the synths used that much. it is blended very nicely I can give you that. but the melody and sound of it dont sound like something that i would want to listen to when i want to hear house....
Rated 4 / 5 stars
better than ok
it's got an okay beat and a good sound, but this should be in the trance or ambient genre.. it has more of a dream sound to it so i can see why you put that in the title. it's calm and kinda ambient and i like that in techno. good job
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Sounds like...
... you're playing a melody to Casio keyboard.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I think this track would be great with some vocals. Otherwise, its ok.

This guy knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable in the areas of consumer debt. I spoke with a few lawyers in this area and none of them was of any help only pretending to know. Then i found Mr Klass and he got the job done in 48hrs.
Posted by Robert
I've known Richard Klass for about 10 years. Over that time he's been a steadfast and reliable legal resource. He's handled a real estate closing for me and also a handful of matters for my business including collections cases. He also mediated my divorce, making the best of an otherwise unpleasant event -- and that's not easy.
Richard has become more than just a lawyer to me, he is one of my business advisers and an extension of my circle of friends. He's even referred customers to me. I can't think of anything more I could possibly expect from an attorney.
As an aside, even if you don't hire Richard, sign up for his newsletter. It's the best lawyer newsletter I've ever read -- interesting, informative, and even downright hilarious sometimes.

WACO (October 11, 2013)--Hawaiian Falls Water Park in Waco hopes to expand, adding an adventure park and a campground, spokesman David Alvey said Friday.
The proposed expansion would cost roughly $5 million and would include an RV Park that backs up to the Bosque River.
The plan also calls for volleyball courts, two new playgrounds, a nature trail and a zip-line course.
Hawaiian Falls officials presented the plan Thursday to Waco's city Park and Recreation Board.
A public hearing will be held on the plan on Nov. 14.
If Hawaiian Falls gets a green light, the expansion would be completed by the spring of 2015, Alvey said.

How to Compare Anti Static Mats to Conductive ESD Floor Mats
- Definition of Anti Static Mats
- Definition of Conductive Floor Mats
- Summary of 5300 Series Anti Static Mats
- Summary of 5700 Series Conductive ESD Floor Mats
- Shop ESD Mats on Elimstat.com, a Bennett & Bennett Company
Before you buy "esd mats" or "static dissipative mats" you should know how anti static mats and conductive floor matting are used in static control. Both types of mats are used with grounding to capture and drain static from the top of work surfaces and floors preventing the release of static as electrostatic discharges (ESD).
What is an Anti-Static Mat?
Anti Static Mats are typically constructed of rubber, but sometimes vinyl. If they are made of rubber they are typically constructed with two layers laminated together known as "2 ply". If they are made of vinyl they are typically constructed with three layers laminated together known as "3 ply".
An anti static mat drains static off of its top surface at an "Anti Static Rate"( between 106 and 1011 ohms square) across the top surface of the mat.
Anti Static mats are designed to move charges they collect on their top surface at rates that do not allow the mat's surface to hold those charges. However, they must be connected to an electrical ground that is connected to Earth to accomplish this.
Placing the mat on insulating materials like a wooden desk or wood floors cuts off the path static would take under the force of gravity to fall to the Earth. This will cause the mat to hold charge. So if you intend to set the mat on an insulating material, the mat must be tied by wires or cables to an electrical commons such as a common point ground that has a connection to the Earth in order for the mat to be considered "grounded".
Bennett & Bennett Anti Static Mat: The 5300 Series
Material Standards. Manufactured to ANSI / ESD S20.20-2014, and MIL-PRF-RoHS standards. Available in Blue, Dark Blue, Gray, or Green.
Electrical Properties. 5300 Series Anti Static Mags dissipate static electricity on their outer surface at an anti-static rate (less than 1011 Ohms Square per ESD S11.11) preventing the mat from holding static and causing electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Uses. Can be used to drain static off of surface mounts or floors where workers are standing, walking, or soldering.
Conductive Floor Mats
Black carbon-based conductive mats are used on floors where static needs to be drained from the people or vehicles moving over it as quickly as possible.
An anti static mat drains static off of its top surface at an "Anti Static Rate"( between 101 and 105 ohms square) across the top surface of the mat.
These mats can be connected to ground via grounding cables if they are sitting on top of an insulating material, but if they are sitting on top of an anti static or conductive surface they generally would not connected to an electrical commons by grounding cables.
Bennett & Bennett ESD Floor Mat: The 5700 Series
Work Conditions. These mats have been tested per ANSI / ESD S20.20 according to Test Method ASTM D575. They compress .415 inches when tested at 35 PSI. Their standing surface is diamond-plated to prevent tripping, and beveled at the edges.
Grounding. 5700 Series Anti-Fatigue ESD Floor Mats are constructed with a conductive vinyl Nitricell sponge base. If sitting on an insulated surface ground the mat securely by attaching a common point ground cord to the 10mm snap installed at the corner.

Lotus has been bulking up its lineup over the past couple of years with the introduction of the Lotus Evora and the new Lotus Elite for 2014. We thought that would be enough on the tiny automaker's plate, but the company has decided it can take on more and unveiled four other concepts at the Paris Motor Show.
Arguably the most important to diehard Lotus enthusiasts and us is the Lotus Esprit, which grounds the British carmaker back to its roots of making uncompromising lightweight, high-handling sport cars.
The Esprit has been off the market for nearly half a decade now. When it comes back in spring 2013 it will be rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine V-8 powertrain like the original Esprit.
Lotus isn't robbing Ferrari designers this time for its looks. It's got a little Lamborghini going on, but with a full slate of cohesive Lotus designs. It's safe to say that this car just looks like a Lotus, plain and simple. The interior appears nearly production ready and reminds us of an Audi R8.
The model sports a 611-horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8, which sounds a lot like (and probably is) the same Toyota-sourced powertrain that's going in the Lotus Elite. A hybrid powertrain will be optional, according to the automaker.
The Lotus Esprit is a supercar and will have a supercar price of $140,000 to $165,000. It's part of an interesting trend we're seeing from Lotus – first with the Evora and then the Elite – which is a decrease in affordability and attainability in the brand's offerings to the everyday person. The auto company seems to be positioning itself as England's answer to Porsche. Of course, the 2004 Lotus Esprit wasn't cheap either, but you get the point.

Yes, the Peeps Donut is real. I know this because someone sent me a press release explaining that I could now go into Dunkin' Donuts and purchase a donut "shaped like flowers, decorated with pastel pink or green icing and topped with a pink or yellow PEEPS® Marshmallow Chick." My fillings hurt.
"We are excited to partner with Dunkin' Donuts to introduce PEEPS Donuts and provide millions of people a delicious new way to express their PEEPSONALITY this season," said Brian Bachrach, "Senior Marketing Manager of Innovation" at Just Born Quality Confections, where they make Peeps and I have no doubt that people walk around saying words like "PEEPSONALITY" in all capital letters. (But where's the registered trademark, Brian? You're slipping.)
Anyway, if anyone has tried one of these donuts, please let me know care of this blog, attn: Senior Marketing Manager of Innovation.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — A judge has rejected a request to delay a smoking ban in St. Joseph while a civil lawsuit opposing the ban is considered in court.
Circuit Judge Randall Jackson on Wednesday ruled that opponents of the ban had not shown that a preliminary injunction was necessary. The smoking ban will begin June 7. Jackson did not give any more explanation for his ruling.
Bar owner Stephen Peterman contends in his lawsuit that the smoking ban in unconstitutional because it exempts the St. Jo Frontier Casino gambling floor. He also says the city did not follow state law when it imposed the ban.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports (http://bit.ly/1pBopY8 ) that the city has argued that there are many examples of special exemptions in similar bans.

Edit 6/8: A disabled document will show up in the Disabled Items list just like a disabled add-in would. I have seen this happen several times over the years, however have not found a way to consistently recreate it.

In July 1845, Henry David Thoreau built a small cottage in the woods near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. During the two years and two months he spent there, he began to write Walden, a chronicle of his communion with nature that became one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature. As the favorite book of generations of readers, Walden has become part of the American landscape. Its message of living simply, in harmony with nature, is needed now more than ever. Here are select passages that provide a perfect introduction to Walden, along with woodblock engravings by Michael McCurdy and two audio CDs with samples of the text read aloud.
About the Author
Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, and philosopher, who is best known for his works Waldena treatise about living in concert with the natural worldand Civil Disobedience, in which he espoused the need to morally resist the actions of an unjust state. Thoreau s work heavily reflects the ideologies of the American transcendentalists, and he has long been considered a leading figure in the movement along with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and, at first, Nathaniel Hawthorne (who changed his views later in life). In addition to his writing, which totaled more than twenty volumes, Thoreau was an active abolitionist, and lectured regularly against the Fugitive Slave Law. Thoreau died in 1862, and is buried along with Louisa May Alcott, Ellery Channing, and other notable Americans in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.

Retailers should point out the first scene for fans of parturient sex.
While this series has always been a reliable source of stroking for perverts into the pregnant kink, the latest edition of Ready to Drop offers scenes above its usual par.
Breaking the mold of previous volumes, the first scene includes an interview with Amber (who says she's due "any day now") and her man Johnny. There's actually a fair degree of foreplay not usually seen in pregnant videos, or regular hardcore videos, and the added familiarity the couple has for each other adds to a hot scene.
Also of note is the final g/g between big-bellied Chocklate and Krista Leigh; it's a nice conclusion, with lots of tongues, fingers and toys and should satisfy strokers who like their lesbian lust with ladies who have buns in the oven.

I got this rod for a three day camping trip it worked fine I caught a five and a half pounder and a couple smaller largemouths on it and it worked ok.
This is a great purchase for only 40 dollars. I had a abu garcia silver max and this is just as smooth as the other. You just can't beat it for 40 dollars for a combo. Absolutely great for beginners. Definitely change the line though. Its good line, just put on there real loose. You can just tie it to a tree or something walk all the line off the reel then keep tension on it'll get back on there nice and tight
I am new to baitcasters and only just purchased my first 3 months ago. I bought a Shakespeare $36 combo and learned the basics and caught a couple 5+ pounders on it. This past week a accidently slammed the back glass window on the rod and broke 3 ft of it off and started looking for a replacement. I have been eyeing the Abu Black Max since i bought the Shakespeare then saw the Pinnacle Ultra Balance. It was marked for $41.36 at my local walmart but then when scanned came up as $60.99 so i put it back. I went to a Walmart 1.5 hrs away while at the beach and the same rod/reel combo rang up $41.36 so I bought it. I First thing i noticed was how smooth it was. WOW!!!. It only has 1 more bearing than the Shakespeare but is 10x more smooth. However, Like a previous review it seemed like every single cast required you to thumb the spool no matter how you adjusted the spool tension and magnetic brake. If your thumb wasnt on it, it backlashed. I was getting pretty aggravated and over the last three days have completely adjusted my casting style to compensate for the backlash but was disappointed because i couldnt cast as far due to the thumb pressure problem. Well I found the issue. The screw that holds the magnetic side cover on was slightly loose. After tightening the screw all the way down, (and cleaning and regreasing with a good Abu Reel Grease). The problem has completely dissappeared and I can now cast a country mile without ever putting my thumb on the spool. It is a Excellent combo for the price and I am currently thinking about buying a second Ultra Balance after i get the Black Max. If you have the issue with constant backlashes no matter what the brake and spool tension setting, double check the side cover bolt. you will immediately feel the difference and the backlashes will be gone. when the screw was loose i would tighten the spool tension and get it right then cast and it would seem as tho the spool tension had come loose again but when reeled in after getting the birdnest out it would still be tight. the screw being loose was allowing the reel to flex and loosen the spool which was canceling out the spool tension knob. Trust me. If you have that problem it is most likely the side cover screw being loose. Check it as soon as you get home. I now love this rod and reel combo!!!!. Definitely recommend it to anyone beginner or advanced.
I thought I'd get away from spincasters and get into baitcasters and I knew it would be a big change. The rod is decent and presented no problems but the reel itself was of low quality. Since the spool itself is soft plastic and can be scratched with a strong fingernail, it isn't the most precise spinning spool. Everytime I got a backlash and try to repair it, the fitting was so loose that the line got caught up within the housing between the spool making the problem worse. Then as the spool spins around, it wears at the line until friction cuts the line. As a result, I lost two good lures and all it did was entangle itself even worse. I eventually had to cut all the line it came with and will have to repeat this process. Why did I decide to get into a good baitcaster when spincasters worked? I don't know why either.
brought this baitcaster about 3 months its well built. first time using a baitcaster and had no problems with it. since then brought a blackmax and they work about the same. so this is well worth the money if u want to learn buy this one learn on it and move up good reel the rod is not that good or just buy the reel and buy a different rod. thanks
Novice fisherman. I bought this because it seemed compact. The layout of the reel allows for the first guide hole to be small, instead of the huge one required for typical reels. It should have come with instructions. 1) labeling of the parts (I can't write this reveiw with correct terminology) 2) rigging instructions. Does the line go over or under the pin?
A marker for the beginning of the line would have been nice. Took forever to find the beginning of the line.
From other reviews, I now see that I will have to unwind the whole reel and re-wind tighter. I also feel it is too loose.
I also am terribly frustrated with the backlash. I could get 1 out of every 4 cast to work without backlash. I'm hoping the other reviewer's advice to tighten the pin will work. I had it hand tightened, but I guess I need to use a screw driver. Shouldn't have to hold the line with your thumb.
This is a good baitcaster for the price. I would t recommend using mono on this baitcaster. First thing I'd recommend is buying braid and relining it when you buy it. I've read a lot of these reviews complaining of the reel bird nesting on them. You need to adjust the settings on it if you are not familiar with baitcasters. Turn the magnets on the side all the way up. Then adjust the tension for the spool. You want your lure to fall to the ground at about half the speed of normal gravity. You shouldn't have a bit of trouble out of it after that. Use it like that till you get a better feel for baitcasters. another thing is your casting form. I would recommend this reel to a beginner withh E exception of the mono line included with it. Place braid on it and you'll be just fine.
bought the ultra balance in march returned it a few days later it cut my line and could not stop it from backlashing even made sure everything was correct on it tightened all the screws nothing helped kinda liked the rod but the reel is not worth the money
the rod its self is very good. how ever the reel is a cheap mess
This reel and rod combo is the most unreliable piece of fishing equipment i have ever laid my eyes on. I bought it hoping it was going to atleast be decent, but i was very, very, very wrong. The reel gives you really bad line burn. I've never experienced that problem with any other reel i've purchased or used. I do not recommend this combo to anyone. Buy a shimano if you want a good deal on a great reel.

"This film changes people's lives," Dr. Martha Rose, a professor of special education at Salve Regina University, told me. "I've seen teachers transformed by it." The film, How Difficult Can This Be?, is a PBS documentary about Rick Lavoie, an educator with many years of experience in the field of learning disabilities. I took Martha at her word and ordered a copy of the film to share with my colleagues here in India. She was right. The film has changed our lives, and we are doing our best to make sure it changes a few others.
As part of our work in disability here, the organization I'm with runs an awareness campaign to increase public understanding of the subject and to inculcate a spirit of acceptance when it comes to differences. We offer many approaches, ranging from seminars, workshops, and lectures to more interactive exercises in which people experience what it might be like to have a disability. This is fairly simple to do with physical difficulties, visual handicaps, and hearing problems. We put someone in a wheelchair and ask her to negotiate a gravel driveway or a flight of stairs. We give another participant a pair of dark glasses smeared with Vaseline and ask him to get from point A to point B, using only a map with very small print.

This time libs can't say it was just a lie about sex. It's about 4 honorable Americans death and the politically motivated lie told to us with no shame whatsoever.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Sleazy people usually marry sleazy people.
do not forget when I was there I had to duck down because they were shooting at us .
And the Democrats are keeping Obama around for just as many!
Hey Guys be kind to Clark Kent and David they are fighting Fascists by supporting big intrusive powerful government that support using the IRS to punish the Tea Party. You know the way Nixon and Roosevelt did.
As opposed to the 52 American deaths under Shrub?
Yet another example of the Right's elevation of "belief" over facts.
In a few more weeks Benghazi will be old news. The new story about the IRS investigating the tea party is interesting. However, both parties have misused gov't agencies for their own gain, and in many states, are actively doing so right now. The republicans may not be anxious to bring too much media attention on how legislatures manipulate agencies, even if it does make Dems look bad in the short run.
Anybody hear any talks about plans to encourage job growth?
No you're wrong, Obama said today he will not tolerate such conduct from the IRS and the CIA said Al Quida was involved and state washed that clean and said it was the you tube vid.
Your comic made me laugh.
I'm not blase, Ansonia. My comment is actually a question about why more Republicans aren't pushing on this. Is it because they don't think it goes high enough or because they've done it too?
I consider this a bigger issue than Benghazi as far as a Constitutional matter goes.
RT, the IRS went after the NAACP in 2004. The IRS has been inappropriately use before, and it never is appropriate unless the group being audited has a history of tax dodging. The fundamental-FLDS families lived off of taxpayers while hiding their funds in land purchases, and back door businesses. Some of the FLDS then used welfare to feed their multiple families while state authorities ignored the abuse. The IRS should no more target the tea party members, than anyone else unless they have a history of tax evasion. Of course a conservative judge gave a peaceful environmentalist a prison stay in Utah as payback for his liberal views. So the conservatives are not above the same behavior, and a uber-conservative judge incarcerated a nonviolent environmental activist ,Tim DeChristopher inappropriately.
This comic has no relation with reality.

Rich, that's really good news. I think recovering from an injury makes the next one less devastating because you know with a little work and patience you'll be back on the road. While I'm a little frustrated with this new kink, I already have a support system in place and have options to get that endorphin fix. I have a pool running lesson this morning, but will go to the pool an hour earlier to get my planned work accomplished. I'm going to be careful with wishes, but I envy your snow and xc skiing opportunities.
We have a new dog flying into Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon. I'm giving serious thought to driving in early for some of the marathon excitement. It will be a chilly one this year! I have an old husband flying in today and yes, I've had lots of opportunities to travel, but I've become a homebody after all the moving we've done during the last 29 years. I think we've settled in a good place with lots of fun times to be had.
Hope you all have interesting weekends and holidays planned. You Canadians should take an extra one and celebrate with us.
Helo Euphoric! I cooked a turkey yesterday and will watch a lot of football this weekend! Isn't that the essential Thanksgiving experience?:)
Same route as yesterday. I thought I was running quite a bit faster as HR was 145, but when I finished I was actually 10 sec slower than yesterday. Now.............what game should I watch first?
Rich - good news about the heel!
Tigger - prolly a smart decision for your dd.
Euphoric - I understand about the old husband but are talking literally about a new dog or am I missing something.
Today ran my same 10 miles of hills. Last week avg 7:09 and today 7:03. Am finally feeling good about the 4 mile race next Thurs and the 1/2 on 12/20.
My wife and I ran a local fiveK this morning. This is the one they have every month, right near my home and I like to use it to measure my progress. I had no high expectations for improvement going into it and it worked out pretty much how I thought it would. I ran 26:44 (8:37's), which is 8 seconds per mile faster than my last one.
The reason I didn't have high expectations for today is that there is no significant change in my training. I am running about 20 slow miles per week. I expect to see changes when I can run longer and my weekly mileage grows. It is funny that when I used to see people post on the running forums who would run 20 miles a week and then run a slow fiveK and complain about how they wish they were faster, I would think "What do you expect?" So now I am running 20 miles a week with no speed work too, but I know not to expect to go any faster.
I think I would see faster times at around 30 mpw, and/or if I did more speed. But speed is out of the question for me at this stage as the effort needed for just a normal run is still pretty high. I will also admit to being a bit nervous in the last mile. Normally I would push through the 3rd mile of a fiveK, but I worry now and start questioning myself if I should run so hard. I need to get over that, and I imagine I will if I ever am in a race where someone is near me and pushes me. Today was very bad: 8:35, 8:27, 8:51! :50. I must remember that I have plenty of time to get back in shape. I am actually very lucky to be in the condition I'm in right now.
I sure am proud of my wife though. She ran 28:23 which was a big PR as she has never been under 30 minutes. She ran the last tenth very strong. She goes out a bit fast and we ran the first half mile together. Still, I think she can get under 27 with a better start. Spareribs
I have the same problem trying to get DD to slow down at the start and not worry about keeping up with the other runners. I keep telling her to run her race and let the toher girls go....that they will eventually come back to her....but she will have to learn that herself, just like you and I did Ribs. My best 5k race (not my PR, but 7 seconds shy of it) was one where I ran the final 4k at 4:55 avg per k, after a 5:30 first k. Final time was 25:07, and I was really happy that I did not slow down over the final 4k. I have a couple of other races like that, including a HM where I started at 9:45 per mile and finished with a final 4 miles at 8:35. You would think those examples would make DD change her ways but...........
Started out cloudy today and ended with heavy blowing snow. I was on a long easy run, going 2 hrs and 32 min. Going out felt great. I turned around at 76 min feeling great. It stayed that way until the final 5k when my right hip began to feel a bit wonky. After finishing I stretched it really well and there is no further soreness. After two weeks at 40 miles this was a breakthrough of sorts. 54 miles running plus about 5 or 6 walking. Next week will be a bit of a cutback due to business in Vancouver, but should still be over 40.
Nice racing team Ribz - I'd guess this time next year Ribs you won't be worrying about your heart. Keep working so it's natural again. congrats to the Saint.
Tigger - more snow?
Rest day for me. Next week will be easy thru Thanksgiving and then 4 mile race. then Fri and Saturday log some good miles as time for the 1/2 draws near. My run yesterday was only 7:04 pace but it was in the hills and just had the feeling of strength and not using it all. Hope this half comes together with that same strength and descent weather. It could be frigid or scalding hot Dec. 20. Could be raining, hailing, so we never know till it arrives.
cya tomorrow
I tried to post Sunday's workout yesterday but kept getting the message this place was down for maintenance.
Not much of an opportunity to get in workout, but managed 20 minutes on a Nordic Track ski machine and 2 miles on the treadmill.
Spareribs, you're doing great. And a big congrats. to your wife!
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...

Congrats Ribs. When you get it going, and not if, you might be even faster than before because your
plumbing is wide open, and you can pump more blood to the mitochondria.
How's this for humility? My boss is a pretty accomplished runner, placing 25/7231 in Philadelphia yesterday. I handed him lunch saying, "I made chilli for the top 25 finishers." He had no idea where he had placed and then asked if I knew his time. 2:35:35.
I'll do 1 hour of pool running this afternoon and I have a PT evaluation tomorrow.
Sounds like Mrs. Ribs deserves some flashy running gear for Christmas.
That's an excellent time Euphoric, your boss ran really well.
5 miles easy. I warmed up on the Nordic ski machine for a few minutes before heading out, trying to give me heel every opportunity to stay happy...
Here's one I bet you've never heard. My in-laws had a homing pigeon show up at their place. After hanging around a few days and making no attempt to leave, my brother-in-law got the owner's ID from the bird's leg tag. After a couple of unanswered phone calls, b-i-l left a threatening message and finally got hold of the owner.
The guy says he doesn't own the bird anymore and can't remember who he gave it to. Being animal lovers, my in-laws are feeding the bird and giving him shelter, but it's obvious the owner has no use for a bird that can't find its way home, the jerk.
Anyway, it seems people race 'em, released all at once from the same site, I guess the object is to see who's bird gets home first...
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Good Tuesday morning. Long sleeve shirt felt good running this morning. Wish I had gloves at the start. Then the sun came out and it was perfect. Should get to mid 60's today. Some fool 'bout ran over me this morning. He never saw me until I was standing next to him in the middle of an intersection. He didn't just pause at a stop sign; he rolled thru it to beat the traffic as I was crossing the street. Looked right thru me. 6.3 leisurely miles this morning. Running easy to race Thursday morning.
Jim - how's your injury coming along? Rich - good to see you coming back little by little.
Things are busy here in Vancouver but last night I managed an hr on the TM with 40 min at 9:30 pace. This morning I was set up for 90 min, but got a late start due to the TM's being full. It was raining heavily outdoors so I had no choice but to wait. I got 25 min into the workout when I inadvertently touched the emergency kill button. So I quit the workout and will go back for an hour tonight. It's still raining here, as per usual in this part of the world in the winter.
Thanks a lot fred. That means a lot to me. Let me share with all of you why that is.
I believe that in order to recover well it is important to have a positive, highly optimistic vision of ultimate success. For me this means keeping myself highly focused on running under 7 minutes a mile toward the end of 2009. Nothing will deter me from this idea and all my work is done to achieve it. In my corporate work I help executives think and act this way and I have been successful doing that.
I know that once I say, "Well, I might not be able to..." or "I don't think I can..." then I can't put the same kind of enthusiasm into it and I won't have a goal to work toward. Nothing could be worse than not having any expectations or goals to shoot for. Right around the time of my surgery a guy on Kick wrote me and said, "You may just have to get used to the fact that you're not going to be able to run 40 miles a week any more." I was stunned by this comment, as I never thought about limiting myself. And on Sunday at the race a guy who is older than I am who had had prostate surgery for cancer 4 years ago told me, "And one thing you just have to accept is that no matter how hard you work, you will never be in the same condition you used to be in." I said to him, "Well, you can choose to think that way, but I don't."
If next year I am not where I want to be, I will keep working at it, but it does no good to just draw an imaginary line of lesser competency and say I can't do something above this line. As Henry Ford said, "You believe you can, or you believe you can't. Either way, you're right."
3.2 miles easy for me today. Tomorrow is a day off because I plan to pace my wife in her TG Day Turkey Trot. This is an 8-miler and since I haven't done more than 5 as of yet I am going to be cautious to see how long I want to run with her. Spareribs
Ribs, I believe you are going to keep improving and I think you are going about it the right way. You've been very consistent but have not been rushing things. A much better approach, imo, than going for the quick fix. Nice going on the 5k, btw. Jim
KS, After straining the same muscle again on Saturday I decided to pull out of the marathon. However, I've made a lot of progress since then and am reconsidering. Today was the closest to normal I've felt since the 30k earlier in the month. Good luck to you in your upcoming 4-miler and half marathon.
Hang in there Euphie. I have no doubt you will--and then some. You can't keep a good woman down.

Volunteerism booms around the holiday. If you want to spend part of your Thanksgiving week actually giving, consider volunteering at or donating to one of the free Thanksgiving dinners in Erie and Crawford counties. Here's a list of free meals, courtesy of my colleague Dana Massing. While most of these dinners already have volunteer cooks…

text: Barren River Lake Resort Park Proposed Partnership in Barren County Would Result in More Farm-Fresh Foods at State Park By Associated Press • Feb 17, 2013 Farmers in south-central Kentucky are discussing a partnership with a state park that would lead to more farm-fresh foods being served at the location. The Glasgow Daily Times reports farmers around Barren River Lake State Resort Park met recently with chef Rick Lenoir to discuss a partnership in which he would purchase more local goods to serve at the park's Driftwood Restaurant. Lenoir, who started working at Barren River Lake State Resort Park last summer, said his preference is to use locally produced food. "I want folks to be more aware of what we have around here," Lenoir said.
