- Seasonal (14)
See Tuck come into life when you add a foam shell, a pom-pom, googly eyes, and a felt hat to a green egg.
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
From the green self-adhesive foam, cut out a large oval, about 4 inches long and about 3 inches wide. Remove the paper backing and secure it to the long side of the egg.
Have kids press two wiggly eyes onto the green pom-pom. Then they can glue the green pom-pom to the top of the egg, just below the shell.
From the blue felt, cut a 3/4-inch circle. From the white felt, cut a slightly smaller circle. Glue the white circle on top of the blue circle. Then glue the red pom-pom to the white circle. Once dry, glue the hat on the Tuck's head.
As the hat dries, cut a strip about 1/2 inch wide by 7 inches long from the green foam or construction paper. Curve it to form an oval-shaped loop, overlapping the ends and stapling or gluing them in place. Place Tuck inside the oval base.

Just wanted to let you all know that $20,000 for the second course at Camden Park was unanimously approved by the Village of Milan at their Council meeting last night!
Club members and advocates present at the meeting were Chad Eng, K. C. Randall, Paul Roesner, Paul's dad (Bill?), Brad Ellis, Reed McDaniel, and myself.
Much of the credit for getting the project approved needs to go to Milan's Economic Development Director, Annette Ernst, who really went to bat for the disc golf community.
Big thanks also needs to go out to the Roesners and Reed for being disc golf's link to the Village of Milan, and for keeping this project alive. Thanks, you guys!
Here's a link to Milan's contact page with Annette's contact cued up. There's a pulldown menu to the right that has contacts for those that voted to approve the funding. Those include the mayor, and the six trustees at the bottom of the menu. If you have a minute, drop them a line and say thanks.
Make sure you thank Paul, Paul's dad, and Reed when you see them!

Short Sellers Pounce on Twitter's Drop
Short sellers are pouncing on Twitter big drop this year, taking a bearish view that the stock still has room to fall.
Twitter shares have tumbled more than 50% this year, including an 18% drop Tuesday when a key lockup period expired, giving early investors and employees their first, big chance to sell their stock. Now, it appears, many investors are betting that the stock will continue to drop.
Borrowing of Twitter shares, a proxy for short-selling activity, this week hit its highest level since the company went public in November, according to Astec Analytics, a unit of financial technology firm SunGard. The cost to borrow Twitter shares has risen eight-fold over the past seven days, according to Astec, which pulls its numbers from broker-dealers and custodian banks.
"While short selling activity may have been steadily on the increase for months, the share price slide…was matched by borrowing at a more rapid pace," said Karl Loomes, a market analyst at Astec.
Short sellers borrow shares to sell them in hopes of buying them back cheaper at a later date, aiming to profit from a price decline.
Twitter shares dropped as much as 6% on Wednesday and briefly fell below $30, their lowest price since the company raised $2.1 billion in its initial public offering at $26 a share on Nov. 7.
As borrowing has increased, the so-called utilization of Twitter shares — the percentage of stock available on loan that is actually being borrowed — has increased to almost 100%, Mr. Loomes says. That's one of the highest utilization rates among the universe of stocks that Astec tracks.
"Everything would seem to indicate that despite the falling share price, short sellers are still increasing, or at least attempting to increase, their positions for Twitter," Mr. Loomes says.

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State moved to within one victory of bowl eligibility with a 31-20 win over Texas State on Saturday.
The Spartans (6-2, 2-1 Western Athletic Conference) can become bowl eligible for the first time in four years with a win at Idaho next week. SJSU hasn't been invited to a bowl game since 2006.
"We're not even thinking about it," Spartans coach Mike MacIntyre said. "If we can take care of each week in itself, then all of that will work out."
Quarterback David Fales threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns, and De'Leon Eskridge rushed for a career-high 134 yards. SJSU gained a season-high 571 yards and clinched at least a .500 record for the first time since 2008.
"In the back of our minds, we're still hoping we can win a WAC championship," MacIntyre said.
The Spartans play at Idaho on Saturday. San Jose State has lost three in a row to the Vandals, all by four points or fewer, and fell in overtime in 2010 in Moscow. Idaho is 1-7 and recently fired coach Robb Akey but will have SJSU's full attention as it tries to move a step closer to the postseason.
"Every team is capable of beating us," Fales said. "A lot of the veterans and seniors who were there the last time at Idaho remember the feeling of losing there. You can get caught up in the bowl thing, but that'll take care of itself at the end if we go week by week."
Texas State (3-4, 1-1 WAC) didn't look like a team in its first season of Football Bowl Subdivision play, and its option offense gave the Spartans fits early.
Bobcats quarterback Shaun Rutherford had a 45-yard touchdown run, and Tim Gay had a 48-yard burst that set up a field goal late in the half to help Texas State take a 20-17 lead.
But the Spartans stiffened in the second half and allowed only four first downs and 98 yards while shutting out the Bobcats over the final two quarters.
"They put in a few new wrinkles and misdirections that we got used to," MacIntyre said. "I thought we would play really well in the second half, and we did."
SJSU's big-play ability showed up in the third quarter. Fales hit running back David Freeman on a play-action pass up the sideline for a 78-yard touchdown, the Spartans' longest play from scrimmage this season.
Freeman had a 10-yard touchdown run earlier in the game. The third-string back has seen limited action this season but saw his role increased after running back Tyler Ervin injured his shoulder in the first quarter and didn't return.
"David was prepared," MacIntyre said. "We have him in certain packages, and we have him in special teams, but he had to carry a little bit more of a load today. I was proud of David stepping in there."
Eskridge topped 100 yards for the first time in six games as the Spartans had the second-highest rushing total this year with 195 yards.
"It definitely was important to get the run game going," Eskridge said. "As the run game started going, you could see how the offense was clicking and how good we were doing."
Eskridge capped the game's scoring with a 32-yard run in the third quarter. That tied Ervin's earlier 32-yard run for the longest rush of the season by a Spartan.
SJSU opened the game with an Austin Lopez 20-yard field goal on its first drive. Freeman's touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Spartans a 10-7 lead.
Texas State took the lead on Rutherford's 45-yard run and opened a 17-10 lead before SJSU tied it on a 6-yard pass from Fales to Chandler Jones with 1:20 left in the first half.
The Bobcats took their final lead with eight seconds left in the second quarter on Will Johnson's 42-yard field goal.
The Spartans' defense adjusted at halftime. After overpursuing at times, SJSU slowed itself down to make plays on Texas State's cutback runs. The Spartans also forced a pair of turnovers, with Cullen Newsome and Keith Smith recording their first interceptions of the year.
"They used our speed against us," Newsome said. "They let us pursue to the ball and tried to attack us backside. Once we were able to figure that out, we were able to adjust."

Get down and dirty in the garden
by Dani Hurst
green your life, dani hurst, growbottle, Potting Shed Creations, repurposed bottles, repurposed glass, self watering planter, container gardening, hydroponic garden, hydrogarden
Three of my current obsessions are bottle cutting, container gardening and creative repurposing, especially glass. So you can imagine my abundant glee when I came across these self-watering planters by Potting Shed Creations comprised of cut, recycled wine bottles.
Truly a marriage of form and function, growbottles are as sustainable as they are stylish. Each one is made from a reclaimed restaurant wine bottle, and each kit includes everything you need—seeds, clay pebbles and vermiculite to retain moisture, wool wick to evenly distribute moisture, and plant nutrient mix—to start your own miniature hydrogarden as well as easy-to-follow directions to get you started.
I usually keep my growbottle near the window in my kitchen that gets the most sunlight, but if it's a particularly beautiful day out, I set it outside for some fresh air. Photo By Dani Hurst.
I started my hydrogarden a little more than a month ago, and after some trials and tribulations, I am the proud caretaker of a family of thriving basil plants. Here are a few tips I learned along the way:
Another great thing about growbottles is that they are meant to be used again and again. Once one crop has run its course, all you have to do is wash out the bottle, rinse off the clay pebbles and start over again. Potting Shed Creations sells replant kits ($6 each) that include seeds, plant nutrient, wool wick and vermiculite.
You can buy these amazing growbottles ($35 each), as well as view the many other Potting Shed Creations products, on the company's website.

Here we are again, buying school supplies and preparing to say goodbye to the lazy, hazy days of summer. But it's not over yet. There's still time for a getaway before the mental change of pace that signals fall has arrived.
Great Reno Balloon Race (Sept. 7-9) International Camel Races in Virginia City (Sept. 7-9)
Sure, you've seen photographs of balloon festivals -- but only by attending one can you appreciate the three-dimensional aspect created by 100 hot-air balloons decorating the sky like so many Christmas-tree ornaments.
Another surprise: It's not a silent spectacle. The balloons roar and huff like living beasts as pilots open the blast valves on their burner systems to heat the air in the colorful envelopes holding them aloft. They call it "sky breathing," and it's sure to send shivers up your spine.
The Great Reno Balloon Race, billed as the world's largest free hot-air balloon festival, provides three early-morning opportunities to fill your eyes with color, sound and a scramble of activity. You'll have to get up early -- really early -- for the Saturday and Sunday "glow show" and "dawn patrol" events featuring seven night-flying balloons ascending to choreographed music at 5 a.m. The mass ascension of an expected 100 balloons begins all three mornings at 6:45 a.m., with activities on the ground (including a pajama party and tethered balloon "rides") continuing through midmorning.
After that, it's time to travel up the hill (a 26-mile drive) to Virginia City for the 53rd International Camel Races, a rip-snorting, Wild West affair featuring outlandish costumes, unpredictable dromedary antics and jockeys from several countries. Ostrich and zebra races, plus a chicken scramble for kids, fill out a bill that draws fans who come back year after year.
To make a really full day of it, travel to Virginia City from Carson City aboard the historic Virginia & Truckee Railroad.
Where: Balloons lift off from Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, 1.5 miles from downtown Reno. Parking, $10, is limited, and lines to get in and out are long. Consider taking a taxi or using the RTC Ride service, which picks up near downtown hotels. Alternatively, you can buy a $20 VIP parking pass in advance and be assured of getting a close-in spot. A "Cloud 9 VIP Club" pass ($75 for adults, $50 for children) includes parking, a ride to the event tent, front-row seats, breakfast and other perks.

Sacramento Gold Rush Days
(Aug. 31-Sept. 3)
If you have a Western hat and cowgirl costume moldering in your closet, pull 'em out and put 'em on -- or at least get into the spirit by wrapping a bandanna around your neck.
This annual event sees the 28-acre Old Sacramento historic district transformed into an 1850s Western set for a celebration of "gold and glory." Some 200 tons of dirt are spread on the streets to add to the illusion. Horse-drawn wagons and carriages clamber past 19th-century buildings, a tent city springs up and more than 100 costumed performers stroll the wooden sidewalks, helping to re-create Gold Rush-era happenings. Street dramas, period music, gold panning, gunfights, parades and the arrival of the Pony Express are highlights at the four-day fest attended by some 125,000 people each year.

Sonoma Wine Country Weekend
(Aug. 31-Sept. 3, various locations)
Family affairs have their place on Labor Day weekend, but Sonoma County's largest annual food and wine event is just for grown-ups. On the menu: winemaker luncheons and dinner parties, a "Starlight Supper Club" affair at the over-the-top Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyserville and the 33rd annual Taste of Sonoma at MacMurray Ranch in Healdsburg.
Programming for the last, expected to sell out at around 2,500 guests, includes 170 wineries and 70 chefs participating in activities ranging from food and wine pairings to sommelier-led tours, a blind tasting challenge, a "Steel Chef" competition, educational seminars and grape-to-glass winemaking demos. It all takes place on a sweeping lawn overlooking the redwood-cloaked Russian River.
Wine Country Weekend can be experienced in small bites or with multievent packages. A la carte pricing starts at $85 for luncheons and tops out at $500 for a seat at the Harvest Wine Auction at Chateau St. Jean.

SAN JOSE -- Late last year, not long after she'd moved with her 10-year-old son into a first-floor apartment at 940 N. First St. -- just across from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, less than a mile from the San Jose Police Department -- a neighbor heard Sandra Cruzes-Gonsalez arguing in her kitchen with a man.
"They were shouting at each other," said the woman, who asked not to be named out of fear of her safety. "It was very loud. She told him, 'You need to get a job and get the (expletive) out of here! You need to leave!'"
But the man with the goatee -- the man whose face the neighbor said matched the police photo of Juan Ramirez -- kept coming back, she said.
About 2:30 p.m. Friday, police say, Ramirez, an ex-boyfriend whom Cruzes-Gonsalez had stopped dating two years ago but feared so much that she got a restraining order against him, made his final visit.
And within an hour she was dead.
The murder occurred in broad daylight, next to a Togo's sandwich shop, where witnesses saw a man attacking the 29-year-old mother.
In the parking lot of her home, just a few feet from her black Nissan Xterra, with its matching string of crystal and black rosary beads dangling from the rearview mirror, Cruzes-Gonsalez was stabbed multiple times with what one witness described as a butcher knife.
By the time neighbor Lowell Fulsom, 71, made his way to the scene, he could see a pool of blood seeping from Cruzes-Gonsalez' side onto the asphalt. A pair of women's black boots was nearby, and a piece of material was pressed against her body where the paramedics had tried to staunch the bleeding.
"They were trying to keep her alive; they were trying to get her to breathe,"Fulsom recalled Saturday.
But Cruzes-Gonsalez died at San Jose's Valley Medical Center at 3:15 p.m., the city's 10th homicide this year.
"She was doing all the right things and trying to protect herself from this individual,"said San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer, adding that investigators have since learned from friends and relatives that Ramirez "was always in the background."
"He would not leave her alone," Dwyer said. "She did everything she could, and she was still killed."
A sister of Cruzes-Gonsalez contacted by this newspaper Saturday night said Ramirez is not the father of the 10-year-old boy. But she declined to comment further on the tragedy, saying the family was too distraught to talk.
An intensive statewide manhunt continued Saturday for Ramirez, 25, who police believe may be heading to Mexico driving a dark green, 1996 Toyota T-100 pickup truck.
Witnesses Friday told police they watched the suspect run away from the scene, jumping over a nearby fence into the neighborhood just east of the parking lot.
The San Jose Police Department's Metro Special Operations team -- wearing body armor and with police dogs in tow -- went door to door and through backyards but couldn't find Ramirez.
At a brief news conference Saturday, Dwyer said police had executed search warrants, but would not divulge the results. Nor would he discuss Ramirez' previous criminal record or personal history.
The neighbor who heard Ramirez and Cruzes-Gonsalez fighting said she'd often see Cruzes-Gonsalez dart in and out of her apartment, seemingly wary of her surroundings.
"She was always on the lookout," the neighbor said. "She looked scared. I'm so sorry about this. It's so sad."
John Nguyen, who has owned an insurance agency across from the apartment complex for 32 years, said that since she'd moved in a few months ago, he'd often exchanged pleasantries with Cruzes-Gonsalez and her son because Nguyen parked his car in the same carport.
He said she would take her son to school every day and that the son often played soccer with another boy his age in the apartment parking lot. He said he thought Cruzes-Gonsalez worked for a local garbage company.
"She was very friendly -- she always had a smile," said Nguyen, who on Friday was alerted to the crime when one of his customers called him after being blocked from entering the Togo's parking lot by police.
"It's pretty sad," Nguyen said. "In one day, this happens to her, and what about the child? Now there is no mother."
Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact San Jose police Detective Sgt. Ray Avalos or Detective John Barg in the Homicide Unit at (408) 277-5283. Anyone with information about the case is also urged to call Silicon Valley CrimeStoppers at (408) 947-STOP (7867) or to go to www.tipsubmit.com and be eligible for a cash reward.

STOCKTON - Dorothy and Jonnie Palmer had a rushed wedding ceremony in a hotel lobby in 1941, re-dedication vows described by their grandson as "short and sweet" on Thursday, and in between, more than 71 long years of joyful wedded bliss.
The Palmers, residents of Atria Bayside Landing in Stockton, said it took a little arm-twisting for them to agree to retake their vows (the management wanted someone to honor on Valentine's Day), but they didn't really see the need, to hear them tell it.
"There've never really been any ups and downs, have there, hon?" Dorothy Palmer asked her husband. "No, not really" Jonnie Palmer replied.
They met in Santa Ana Canyon in Orange County back before the space age, Elvis and even WWII.
"The first time I saw him, I knew he was the one," Dorothy Palmer said. "Something just clicked. It wasn't too long after that we decided ... instead of being one we'd be two."
To get married not too long after that meeting, they rousted a judge from his sleep that April in 1941, and were married in a hotel lobby.
"We thought we'd be married on the 23rd," Dorothy Palmer said.
"It took us all day to finally find a justice of the peace," Jonnie Palmer remembered.
After 71 years, they are still in sync, sharing memories and a love that has seen - to hear them tell it - no ebbs and flows.
To grandson Michael Palmer, 44, of Sacramento, they're a living example of what love is all about. He's grown up observing "what a good loving relationship is about," he said. His grandparents "set a good example. I hope to strive to have that with my family."
As for the vows, Dorothy Palmer said retaking them was "very exciting, unusual."
They were fitting for a couple so wrapped up in each other that they forget about ever being single.
So, how old are they?
"I'm 71," Dorothy Palmer said, before being corrected lovingly by her 93-year-old husband. "Oh, yes. I'm 91, 71 years married."
With a love that holds no regrets.

Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- This time next week some of us will be sitting down around the table giving thanks with our families. But before you hit the road for Thanksgiving weekend, you need to make sure your car is in tip-top shape.
Nothing puts the brakes on your holiday plans like your vehicle breaking down.
One of the most important things you must maintain is your brakes. If you hear squealing, it's a good indicator your brakes need to be replaced. Grinding means your pads may be beyond their wear limit.
Loss of pressure on the brake pedal can mean a number of things, including a failing brake system.
The point is that you never want to cut corners when it comes to your brakes.
"Brakes are one of the most important functionality of the car and we don't want to ignore them because it can be a very big issue. If you start hearing noises with your brakes, have it checked out right away. It's not a repair you want to put off. In fact, you should probably have your brakes checked over every six months just as a precaution," said Angie Hicks of Angie's List.
Regardless of the vehicle, brakes generally need to be replaced every 20 to 30,000 miles. Don't wait until noises develop or become significantly louder.
Don't procrastinate before hitting the road to get your brakes checked. Add that on your to-do list this weekend if you plan to travel next week!

Pentagon Extends Benefits to Same-Sex Spouses
Hours after the Supreme Court ruling, the Pentagon announced that it would move to quickly extend all benefits given to opposite sex spouses to same-sex couples including medical, dental and housing allowances.
Defense officials also said that same sex spouses would have the same rights to be buried alongside war veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
"The Department of Defense, will move very swiftly, expeditiously, on implementing the law, the decision of the Supreme Court," said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. "We think it's the right decision, and we're looking forward to taking that decision and implementing the required next steps."

The Pentagon also said within six to 12 weeks same-sex spouses will be give official identification cards that will entitle them to equal access to military bases, child care programs, military commissaries, gyms and other facilities open to military families.
One issue that could take longer to resolve is overseas tours. In some countries, like Germany and Japan, military service members are allowed to bring spouses with them. Defense officials said they are going to have to review local laws and bilateral military protection agreements with all countries before allowing same-sex spouses to accompany service members.
A defense official said the intent is to ensure equal treatment of same-sex spouses, but the department must ensure that gay family members have the same protections when travelling overseas.
Officials said they couldn't immediately say how much equalizing benefits will cost the department.
"The Joint Chiefs have been very clear that we'll follow the law of the land, and the law of the land has just changed, and we will now as quickly as possible assess what that means," said Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "I'm sure there will be some cost, but we'll figure it out because we'll follow the law of the land."

As the legal case by the US Department of Justice, on behalf of British authorities, to subpoena and recover recorded testaments by former IRA activists who participated in the Boston College Belfast Project continues, it is worth looking at some of the claims and counter-claims.
On the defensive is Boston College's Thomas Hachey (executive director of the Irish Studies program), Ed Moloney (Project Director) and Anthony McIntyre (who conducted the 26 interviews with former IRA Volunteers). One argument they have made is that if the subpoena is successful it will have a serious negative effect on the practice of oral history generally, which is only partially true as I shall demonstrate.
But Moloney has also ridiculously claimed that there is a "possibility that the IRA could abduct and torture [McIntyre] to learn the names of others who co-operated with the Belfast Project". This is patent nonsense because McIntyre for the past 15 years has spent his writing life ridiculing the IRA and Sinn Fein and no one expressed any fear of IRA retaliation when Hachey penned a glowing introduction to Moloney's tendentious book 'Voices From The Grave', based on interviews McIntyre conducted with former IRA Volunteer Brendan Hughes, the whole thrust of which according to many respected historians, reviewers and commentators was to undermine Gerry Adams and republican involvement in the Good Friday Agreement.
Lately, the pair, invoking patriotism as a last refuge, hilariously claimed that the release of the material "could be immensely destructive to the peace process in Northern Ireland" and could damage Gerry Adams!
We only need to read their published writings to see that Moloney and McIntyre were never innocent historians or researchers.
This project would have been of immense value to oral history and learning from the past had it adopted a few simple principles. Instead, it was poisoned from the outset and Boston College and Thomas Hachey facilitated this skewed version of the past. Did Hachey ever ask why scores of pro-peace process republicans, prominent in the struggle, were never asked to participate?
The organisers and some participants provoked this court case – though we have a duty to defend the confidentiality of the archive though not alone on the spurious grounds suggested by the organisers. Moloney's book names certain republicans as having been involved in certain killings. One of the interviewees, Dolours Price, in an unguarded newspaper interview, apparently repeating what she had confessed to McIntyre on tape, also speaks about at least three killings.
Did Moloney ever consider the rights of these relatives of victims to go to the PSNI and the Historic Enquiries Team and demand action?
Where was his concern with ethics when he acted as judge and jury to slander and implicate other republicans without giving them a chance to defend themselves or respond to the allegations? To have asked them for their oral history memory would have required a bit of work and might well have undermined Brendan Hughes's account so substantially as to have rendered him an unreliable witness.

The legacy of the conflict and what happened during the conflict and which party or parties bear major responsibility for the conflict, and who won this or lost that, are arguments heavily contested. They are played out in political debate, in newspapers, in memoirs and biographies, but with some recognisable semblance of cut and thrust and fair play.
In West Belfast the Dúchas project has been collecting oral histories for some time (including, from combatants) and has made many of its interviews available. For a humble community organisation the project would appear to have higher ethical standards than that of Boston College. Participants are interviewed on the basis of 'informed consent'; that they can delete things with which they are not entirely happy; and that they know that what they say is going to go into the public arena for scrutiny during their lifetime and they are responsible for their own story. They talk about their own lives rather than implicating others (including former comrades)

Zac Efron's friends are "worried sick" that the actor is back on drugs, according to TMZ.
The "High School Musical" star and his bodyguard were recently involved in a midnight brawl with some transients in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles. No one was arrested, though Efron told police they ran out of gas and were in the area to get sushi.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me that an addict with lots of money would go to a bad part of a large city after midnight to buy uncooked fish. Am I right?
TMZ quoted one of Efron's friends saying, "Zac's a loner. He goes out rarely and the idea of him driving for miles to go to some sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. after midnight is preposterous."
Come on, now ... nobody actually says "preposterous." Unless they're, like, English or something.
TMZ reported several of Efron's friends said the so-called "bodyguard" involved in the reported incident is not a bodyguard at all -- he's really a convicted drug dealer who has spent a lot of time with Efron recently.
Huh ... kind of a coincidence, isn't it ... one guy is a drug addict, while the other guy is a drug dealer. Small world.
Friends of Efron told TMZ the stories of Efron going to rehab twice aren't true. Both times he supposedly went to a friend's house outside California and received private therapy.
TMZ also reported that, despite the "bodyguard" telling the website he was stabbed multiple times by the transients, law enforcement sources said the only one bleeding was Efron, after being hit in the face.

Gettysburg is a sleepy crossroads town. Situated in hilly Cumberland Valley fields in Pennsylvania, it is a musket volley or two short of 215 miles southwest of Manhattan. Now a national battlefield shrine, in July 1863 it was the turning point in our nation's Civil War, known as the War Between the States to our Southern countrymen.
For three days – July 1, 2 and 3 – General George Gordon Meade and his Army of the Potomac battled General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia. The fighting men of both sides, North and South, made history in the battle that forever changed America. A total of 23,000 soldiers of Union forces and 28,000 soldiers of Confederate forces were killed, wounded, captured or reported missing in action in the epic confrontation.
It is worth a trip, if only to stand on the actual ground of General Pickett's famous charge. General Lee viewed the charge, which he ordered and always regretted, from a vantage point on Seminary Ridge in the center of Confederate lines above the battlefield. It is here, at the site of the Virginia State monument topped by a majestic statue of Lee on his horse, Traveler, that you fully grasp what happened on that terrible day.
After a fierce artillery barrage, 12,000 Confederate soldiers advanced almost one mile, across open fields, without cover or concealment, into the jaws of massive Union artillery firing shell and canister (buckshot). They marched toward certain death.
What makes Gettysburg so attractive as a tourist destination is its proximity and easy accessibility. It is an easy four-hour drive from New York City. Head south on the New Jersey Turnpike to Exit 6, and then west on the Pennsylvania Turnpike past Harrisburg, General Lee's ultimate target of his northern thrust, to Route 15. Take Route 15 south for about 30 miles and bear right, west, along Baltimore pike to Gettysburg.
One Thanksgiving past, my wife, Eleanor, and I booked two nights at the Holiday Inn Battlefield at 516 Baltimore Street. The price was reasonable, the room spacious with a king-size comfortable bed, and there was free, convenient parking in the rear. We arrived at dinnertime, showered, dressed, and then enjoyed a delicious, moderately priced turkey dinner in celebration of America's favorite holiday.
The hotel is close to the battlefield, which is a few miles south of the town center. Next door to the hotel is the house where the battle's only noncombatant casualty, a young Irish-born woman, was shot dead by a Confederate musket ball.
The next day, Friday, we drove two minutes to the Visitor Center and the Gettysburg Museum of the Civil War. We could have walked. We arrived at 10 a.m., about two hours after the center had opened for the day, but two hours too late to hire a battlefield guide for a personal, escorted tour. There are only a few guides available in the fall. Many more, of course, are available in summer, the peak of tourism, when millions visit. But you have to be early whatever the season.
So, instead, we viewed the Electric Map display, which describes the battle and uses colored lights to depict various troop movements. We also visited the Cyclorama Center, which presents a sound-and-light program inside a circular auditorium that dramatically shows Pickett's charge by spotlighting selected segments of Paul Philippoteaux's 360-foot oil painting of this historical event
The synopsis: The Confederate Army approached Gettysburg from the northwest and immediately attacked the Union Army, which had been trailing it and was advancing into Gettysburg from the southeast. General Lee's plan was to invade the North and bring the war to Union territory. General Meade, who had just replaced General Joseph Hooker, had been ordered by President Lincoln to track Lee's army and prevent Lee from attacking the city of Washington.
On July 1, in early morning, Confederate troops attacked Union troops on McPherson Ridge, just west of town. You can drive around the battlefield and, using an audiotape, hear a reenacted description of the battle, engagement by engagement. There are thousands of monuments and dozens of convenient parking areas. It takes about three hours to complete the drive. There is a helpful printed guide, Touring the Battlefield, and the paved roadways enable you to navigate the battlefield with ease and gain access to all of the highlights without needing to ask for directions.
By 4 p.m. on July 1, the Confederate troops had driven the Union troops back into the town of Gettysburg, capturing thousands of them. The Union troops retreated to high ground south of town called Cemetery and Culp's hills. Throughout the night, the rest of both armies arrived at the battlefield. When dawn broke on July 2, the armies occupied parallel ridges (the South on Seminary Ridge to the west of town, and the North on Cemetery Ridge to the east of town).

New study: Texas small and medium-size businesses suggest capital markets still tight
Some 65 percent of private small and medium-size businesses in Texas say they need outside capital to fuel their growth plans, according to the new Pepperdine Private Capital Access Index.
At the same time, almost 63 percent of these Lone Star businesses said the current business financing environment is restricting growth opportunities, suggesting that the capital markets are still tight.
The quarterly report, conducted by the university's Graziadio School of Business and Management with support from Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp, measures demand for financing needs among small- and medium-size businesses and the level of capital accessibility. Of the 4,686 responses in the second quarter, 385 were from Texas.
Other findings among Texas businesses include:
- 73 percent indicated slower business growth in the next six months as a result of unsuccessful financing event
- 47 percent indicated hiring fewer employees in the next six months due to an unsuccessful financing event
- 52.7 percent said the current business financing environment is restricting ability to hire
- 35 percent tried to raise outside financing in the last three months
- 39 percent transferred personal assets to business over the previous three months
- 65 percent plan to hire new employees in the next six months

BERKELEY -- Chiney Ogwumike was battling constant double teams, and her teammates never got going from the 3-point line.
Though the Stanford women's basketball team played right into Cal's defensive game plan, the No. 4 Cardinal still won 79-64 at Haas Pavilion on Sunday to complete a regular-season sweep over its rival.
Ogwumike scored 29 points despite the extra attention, while her Stanford teammates made the shots off the dribble and midrange jumpers that No. 21 Cal wanted them to take.
"It's such a problem with Chiney inside, but then I thought their other players did things that we were trying to make them have to do," Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "They were just better getting done what they needed to get done."
Stanford led by as many as 14 points in the first half and 19 with 7:40 to play in earning its 27th straight win against Pac-12 opponents.
And unlike its first Battle of the Bay win on Thursday, there was no frustration at the end.
Stanford (21-1, 10-0 Pac-12) was composed down the stretch this time after it had let a 30-point lead get whittled to five in the final minute of that 70-64 win.
The Cardinal made 12 of 14 free throws in the final four minutes to seal the win after Cal got as close as 64-55 with 3:39 to play.
"My question to our team before the game was, with the end of the last game, who did it help more?" Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "Did it help get our attention? I think it did. We came out and played really well."
Mikaela Ruef added nine points, 11 rebounds and a team-high five assists. Stanford also got another solid outing from freshman Karlie Samuelson, who came off the bench to contribute 16 points.
Cal (14-7, 6-4) saw Stanford take its first double-digit lead when the Bears offense went stagnant in the last 10 minutes of the first half.
"We were settling too much," said guard Brittany Boyd, who led the Bears with 20 points and six assists.
Senior guard Mikayla Lyles added a career-high 16 points and was especially deadly from the outside in her second career start for Cal.
But the Bears didn't get much production from their post players.
Forward Reshanda Gray, Cal's top scorer on the season, finished with seven points and five rebounds before fouling out with 5:09 to play. She was held scoreless in the Bears' first meeting with Stanford.
"I think Tara is the mastermind of trying to really limit other teams' top scorers and make somebody else beat you," Gottlieb said.
Friday's GAMES
Stanford (21-1, 10-0 Pac-12) at Washington State (12-10, 6-4), 6 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
Cal (14-7, 6-4) at Washington (12-9, 5-5), 8 p.m., Pac-12 Networks

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS1570190
This kit comes with one ceramic block, metal bracket, wires, and hi-temp wire nuts.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Turned off the power at the breaker box, cut the wires approximately 5 inches from the bad receptacle and removed it after removing one screw. Stripped back the wires about 1/2 inch and attached the new wires with the ceramic wire nuts provided and secured the receptacle back in place with the new screw provided in the kit.My sister's husband wanted to scrap the whole range but I repaired it with $14.00 worth of parts.The element is working great now.Whenever I need appliance parts again I'll use partselect.com.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires, connected the new element using the wire caps, and finished bye rescrewing the element backinto place.
The drip pans, burner knobs and electric surface elements are easily removed and replaced. The new receptacles for the burners were NOT easy to replace, but electricians were on hand to install when they replaced the cook top into the new counter top. Even the electricians had to read the instructions - and remove the control panel to replace one of the receptables. Looks like a new cook top.
This was easier than putting in a new light switch. The old receptacle would not make the necessary adjustments to the heat element to maintain the desired temperature. Even when I turned the temperature knob to "minimum", the heat element would bun at the maximum temperature. I pulled the element from the Receptacle, raised the stove top to expose the receptacle and wiring. My stove was too heavy to pull from the wall, so I had to go to the breaker box to flip off the breaker. I returned to the stove and snipped the non working receptacle (with a wire cutter) and attached the new receptacle with the ceramic wire nuts, that came with the assembly. I turned the electric-breaker back on, and tested the heat element. The element will now make the on/off adjustments on each temperature setting, to maintain the correct heat. I ordered two receptacles because I wanted a spare. I do a lot of baking during special-day dinners, for my family members... and due to the age of my stove, I bought the bake element as a "back up" if the present Bake-element burns out.
Replaced receptacle but it was not the problem. After further inspection I believe that the problem is the switch. The switch is on order now from Part Select.
This was a piece of cake since the parts were a perfect replacement. I took the element apart and replaced the two receptacles by cutting the old wires and using the included wire nuts to splice the wires. The two switches were easily replaced by carefully connecting the wires like they were hooked up on the old switches. The indicator light was also easily replaced, although snapping the lens into place seemed to take a lot of force (I was afraid that I might break it). All in all, quite easy.
Searched for parts and found PartsSelect to substantially underprice Sears for same items. removed old recept. with a screwdriver, no problem, had a little difficulty getting new wires attached as hand wouldn't fit under burner area and the wires were short. Also the recept. bracket screw hole was a little tight for the screw so I had to "stretch" it out a bit. Replacing drip pans and rings was a simple change out of the old, no tools needed for that. Overall an easy job.
First, I removed the two screws holding the element in place. I removed the element from the connector. I then removed the trim ring and drip pan. I unscrewed the retaining screw holding the connector and pulled out the connector about three inches and disconnected the two wires leading to from the old connector. I removed the old connector. I then connected the two wires leading from the new connector and fasten the connector to its retainer with a screw . I reinserted the drip pan and trim ring and plugged the new element into the connector. I turned on control knob to high and tested the element., which glowed red hot. Job completed and customer very well satisfied..
Changing the socket with a new one simply required removing one screw and splicing the two existing wires to the pigtails on the new socket. It took longer to unpack the replacement part than actually doing the job.
replaced parts... the burner receptacle was the only part requiring tools. 10 min. fix.
Worst part of the job was removing the old screws that held the two old rectecles in place for the two burners I repaired. Once the screws were removed cut the wires stripped them and used the porceliean wire nuts provided with the kit. Easy job and good instructions.
Had to drill out screw for old connector bracket and also had to extend wires from controls this took most time. Once done with this used wire cutters to strip back insulation and then put the whole mess back together also used a larger wire nut to reconnect wires.
First I removed a screw that held the element in place then disconnected the two wires . Then I just reattached the two wires put the screw back in place and was done in about 10 minutes. Fairly easy fix, I had this go out a few years ago and had a repairman fix it, and saw how easy it was, so this time I did it myself. Easy job!!
1. Shut the breaker off; Jenn-Air's design will have you working around hot leads if you don't.2. Raise the control panel3. Remove burner and unscrew the burner connector; trace the wires back to the control panel bottom and remove them4. On the replacement connector, add the electrical for the control panel. These are not included and can be found at any hardware store; they are a standard size.5. Connect the new wires and put everything back together.6. Reset the break and test.
removed burner and recepticle and replaced new one. You don't have any place to comment on service, so I'll put it here. I talked to Herb and ordered parts with him on a Monday afternoon. He was very helpful. The part came Thursday about noon and I immediatly installed parts and my wife cooked supper (thats southern for the evening meal) that night. A really wonderful experience. Thank's Herb.

Wondered if I got some first runs how many people would be interested in them. Say $8 each or three for twenty?
Let me know by sunday oct. 19th and I can get some, they will be going quick. If there is a big enough interest I will get some....
Dave said after these first runs, it will be jan. before any more are made due to manufacturer of polymer run behind.

I know myself, Rob and chitman (Apologies if I'm wrong) have recently been nosing the series as have a few other members, and this news comes just one week after David's latest release, How Firm a Foundation, and one week before his next, A Beautiful Friendship, so he must be having an excellent month. Is anyone else going to be interested in this?

This undated image made available by Teva Women's Health shows the packaging for their Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) tablet, one of the brands known as the "morning-after pill." About 1 in 9 younger women who've had sex have taken the morning-after pill, according to the first government report to focus on use of emergency contraception since it was approved in 1998. At least five versions of the morning-after pills are sold in the United States. The results of the study were released Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (AP Photo/Teva Women's Health)
"Plan B One-Step is an emergency contraceptive intended to reduce the possibility of pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse – if another form of birth control (e.g., condom) was not used or failed. Plan B One-Step is a single-dose pill (1.5 mg tablet) that is most effective in decreasing the possibility of unwanted pregnancy if taken immediately or within 3 days after unprotected sexual intercourse."
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a surprise twist to the effort to ease access to morning-after pills, the government has lowered the age limit to 15 for one brand -- Plan B One-Step -- and will let it be sold over the counter.
Today, Plan B and its generic competition are sold behind pharmacy counters, and people must prove they're 17 or older to buy the emergency contraception without a prescription. A federal judge had ordered those restrictions to be dropped.
But on Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration approved a different approach: Plan B could sit on drugstore shelves with other women's health products -- but buyers must prove they're 15 or older at the cash register.
Manufacturer Teva Women's Health says it plans to make the switch in a few months.

Police: Parents left children with homeless man in dirty motel room
Published: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 1:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 6:22 p.m.
SARASOTA - The three children slept in a seedy motel room Christmas night, their parents nowhere to be found, the bare mattress stained with urine and blood.
Sarasota police, tipped off by an anonymous phone call, opened the door of the room at the Seabreeze Inn about 11 p.m. and could not believe the scene — a sink clogged with cigarette butts, a toilet overflowing.
A homeless man whom the children had met the day before was keeping an eye on them. Police did not find their parents until the next day, when they arrested them both on neglect charges.
"Being an Iraq veteran in a third-world country, I've seen houses that were not even that bad over there," said Officer Adam Arena, 26.
Arena and the other officers scrambled to do what they could for the children for Christmas.
No doubt scared by the men in uniform, the children — a girl, 10, and two boys, 6 and 7 — did not want to leave the motel at first.
The middle child cried and would not get into the police car.
"No matter what the conditions are, kids don't want to be away from their parents," said Sgt. Demetri Konstantopoulos, the supervisor on duty.
The children climbed into a police car with a little coaxing.
They had not bathed in several days; the girl said they had not eaten in a while. Two were missing shoes, Konstantopoulos said.
The children warmed up to the officers over the next few hours while they waited for social workers in the police headquarters, playing dress-up with police hats and jackets, running around the station.
The children were also fascinated by the computer with a touch screen that Arena uses to type his reports.
"They had become comfortably very quickly," Konstantopoulos said.
And they feasted on the policemen's leftover holiday dinner in a fifth-floor break room where there was some leftover ham and casseroles and pies.
"We gave the kids all the food they could handle," Arena said. "They just exploded with energy. I think it was because of the Mountain Dew."
Even though it was a holiday — most of the city still closed — the officers found an open convenience store and sprang for stuffed animals, shoes and socks for the children.
One officer, won over, made several trips to the store, returning each time with Cheetos or a bag of sour candies.
Police found the parents on Dec. 26.
Sarah and Bruce Sexton each face three charges of child neglect without great bodily harm. They are each held at the jail on a $15,000 bail and are scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 25 in Sarasota County Circuit Court.
Sarah Sexton had met the homeless man at the Salvation Army a day earlier and had offered him a place to stay for babysitting her children, police said.
During the police investigation, authorities learned the Sextons had rented the motel room since Oct. 29, when they arrived in Sarasota from Missouri.
Sarah Sexton, 31, was a known prostitute on North Tamiami Trail and had sold their food stamps to buy methamphetamine, according to a Sarasota police report.
Bruce Sexton Jr., 36, worked as a handyman to pay for his drug habit, the report also said.
The children were taken into custody by the Florida Department of Children and Families and placed together in a home.
Arena says his most lasting memory is "seeing those kids smile again."

FLOSS Friday
Welcome to the first post for FLOSS Friday. FLOSS stands for Free, Libre, and Open Source Software. Every Friday, I plan to discuss some software, site, or tool that is either free to the ECU community because of purchased licenses, because a commercial vendor doesn't require payment, or is a project of the Open Source / Free Software community.
For our first offering, I present to you KeePass
KeePass is a password organizer/storage/generator. It has a huge number of features, and a huge number of plugins contributed. At its most basic, it allows you to create entries with user names, passwords, labels, and (optionally) URLs so you don't have to remember. The KeePass file you create has a single password that you can then use to access all the passwords it contains. Once you have an entry in KeePass, you can have it automatically paste your password to the clipboard, which means you can then paste that password into whatever application/site/machine you are currently trying to access.
KeePass lets you have folders for entries, and in fact comes with a large default set of folders for things like "Home Banking", "Network", and so forth. These are completely at your control, and can be deleted, renamed, or used as-is. Each entry and folder also has an associated icon within the application, so you have a lovely visual clue about what you're looking at. For instance, you can use a globe for web sites, a penguin for your Linux machines, and a Windows logo for your Windows machines. The application comes with an extensive set of icons for this purpose.
To give you a sense of the application, check out this screenshot:
And here's an entry:
Besides auto-pasting passwords (and user names), you can also have it open your default browser with the URL that you've configured in the entry. Additional plugins are available to not only go to the URL, but enter your user name and password.
Whenever you're talking about passwords, the issue of security is a big deal. You don't want to entrust your credentials to an application that will let someone else readily read the file. Since I'm not an encryption expert, I'll defer to the KeePass security document to explain why what they're doing is a Good Thing ™. As an example use, KeePass files can be sent as e-mail attachments. If you then call the person to tell them the KeePass file password (NEVER SEND PASSWORDS VIA E-MAIL WITHOUT ENCRYPTION) you can give them a collection of passwords they might need in one handy organized file.
As an added security feature, KeePass will let you generate new passwords, with many features to restrict how they are generated (but still be secure). Believe me, if you use a KeePass generated password with the default settings, nobody is going to guess it. Since you can't remember them, it's a good idea to make sure you never forget your KeePass file's main password. If you do, then it's game over. There is no back door. Unless you have a Beowulf Cluster of the world's best super computers (plus a few hundred years), you're not getting back in.
KeePass is available for a huge number of platforms, including:
- Microsoft Windows
- Apple Mac OS X
- Pocket PC / Smart Devices
- Linux
- iPhone / iPod Touch
- Blackberry
- Android
See the offerings at the KeePass Downloads Page.
Even better for you Windows users, you can get Portable KeePass in PortableApps format so you can run the program without installing straight from a USB stick. I'm sure I'll be revisiting why PortableApps are the Best Thing Ever in another post.
There you have it. A small, fast, safe, simple tool to manage your passwords. I'm a big fan.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Sharks own a share of the Pacific Division lead for the first time in 97 days after a 4-3 shootout victory Thursday night over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Just don't expect coach Todd McLellan and his players to get too excited about overcoming the 13-point gap that separated San Jose and the Anaheim Ducks, who do have a game in hand, two months ago.
"I think we've got, what, 15 games left now?" McLellan said. "That's 30 points worth. That's a lot of hockey. Some satisfaction that we caught them? Yes, but lots of hockey left."
Thursday's victory featured two goals by Patrick Marleau -- including San Jose's first power play tally in seven games -- and one by Matt Nieto. There was a game-saving stop by goalie Alex Stalock in the final second of regulation and a third perfect performance by the backup netminder in the shootout that followed with Joe Pavelski scoring the decisive marker.
And it happened in a building where the Sharks have underperformed as of late, losing two games last season by a combined 10-2 margin.
"I think they learned from their mistakes of the past. That team plays hard," McLellan said. "If we weren't ready to go, we wouldn't have come close to getting the results we got tonight."
The Blue Jackets opened the scoring at 5:28 of the first period on Ryan Johansen's wrist shot from the slot. But the Sharks evened it up at 10:53 when Logan Couture made a quick centering pass from deep along the right sideboards, and Marleau deflected it past Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, last season's Vezina Trophy winner.
The only goal of the second period belonged to the Blue Jackets when Brandon Dubinsky scored eight seconds after leaving the penalty box in a sequence that featured a two-man advantage for the Sharks for 36 seconds.
Still, the Sharks were able to bounce back after being scored on while holding a man advantage for a second consecutive game.
"Between periods we talked about getting an opportunity to score on a second chance," McLellan said. "We didn't have any of them in the second, and sure enough the first shot, we get that opportunity. We also said our power play is going to get one more chance and it's time to go to work. And they did."
Nieto's goal came just 15 seconds into the third period after Bobrovsky gave up a soft rebound on a shot by Marc-Edouard Vlasic. And the Sharks took their first lead of the game at 5:56 when Marleau scored his second of the night off a pass from Pavelski just 17 seconds after Dubinsky was penalized for slashing Justin Braun.
"It was on the rush, but we'll take it," Marleau said of his power play goal that came after the Sharks has been on an unproductive 2-for-56 skid.
Columbus made it a 3-3 game at 15:02 on a goal by James Wisniewski, whose rocket of a shot found the far corner despite the fact Stalock came far out of the net to challenge him.
A late tripping penalty by Brent Burns gave the Blue Jackets an opportunity to win in regulation, but Stalock made his best save of the night on defenseman Jack Johnson, who fired a carom off the boards on net in the game's final second with Stalock seemingly out of position.
After the overtime settled nothing, Stalock stopped shots by Mark Letistu, Johansen and Cam Atkinson, while Bobrovsky stopped Couture before Pavelski beat the Columbus goalie with a tight backhand shot.
Stalock now has won all three NHL shootouts he's been in, stopping all 10 attempts he's faced.
"One on one any time is fun," he said. "It's a contest, it's a competition and whether it's practice or a game it's fun."
As is a four-game win streak that gives the Sharks 93 points for their first piece of the Pacific lead since Dec. 6.

This assessment will obviously not be true for ALL straight-edge people, but many people that adopt the purist straight-edge ideals are teenagers that seek acceptance with a group that refutes the prvious generation. At the same time, teenagers cope with the frustration of not having ready access to drugs and alcohol while older counterparts might. So many teenagers will dismiss that which is not already available to them and adopt a hard-line rhetoric which fits their already existing lifestyle and is at the same time marginally threatening.

Most of all the straight edgers in my town are straight edge until they are 21. Then they all seem to turn into bigger drunks than anyone else.
They also tend to be the "jocks" of the scene.

Straight Edgers
In my town, Fitchburg MA, there was a whole 'crew' of hardcore sxe kids. They would do things like go to hardcore shows and hang out in front of Denny's. They would put thick black x's on their hands to indicate that they indeed were straightedge. They would start the craziest mosh pits, and boy, if you messed with them....you'd get it. They HATED drugs and alcohol.....so much.
5 years later many of them decided heroin was a better path to fraternal bonding.

{from an older post}
Seriously, pepole who make a choice to be substance free-cool, go for it....thats your thing, people should do what works for them.
But when the people, or groups, or organizations, or whatever the fuck, that practice abstinance from alchohol and other drugs get really preachy about it....or even just talk about it constantly...it seems to cloud things.
If someone doesnt drink-big fuckin deal-thats their choice, but I've seen it a million times.......
Some kid seeks out an answer to his insecurity, tries drinking but gets clowned because he yaks and makes an ass out of himself or something, or is just too scared to drink or experiment with drugs, and decides to go the sxe route without any solid convictions.....at the end of the day, hes got a newfound vow to sobriety that will haunt him in various social settings.
All in all, i think many of the people who talk about and exploit their commitment the most-are the least comfortable with it, and have the highest likeliness to go against their established doctrine.
I think the people who truly have good reason, and conviction to being substance free already know that the choice they made was for themselves.....not for the people drinking at the party...and not the people listening to their music. When all is said and done.....who are some people trying to convince?
I hope the "straight-edge movement in your backyard" is over....
If you dont drink, say you dont drink-if you dont do drugs or fuck or whatever, say you dont partake in said activity....do not call yourself straightedge if you dont understand what it means. Learn about what it has done for people, what it hasnt done for people, and what its really about. Learn about Ian MacKaye, and what he spoke for.
I have friends that dont drink....and one thing I noticed about them that seperates them from people who are extra preachy about their convictions....my friends that dont drink(do drugs), have no problems functioning in a social enviroment where poeple are drinking and doing drugs.
Yet at partys I see substance free people who mereley function as complete troglodytes, having complete difficulty even engaging in a conversation. Like I said, people should do what works for them.
I need a beer,

when people act like straight-edgers are the preachy ones... ugh.
man, at least once a week or so someone will come on here with rhetoric about legalizing weed, lowering drinking age, or how marijuana is suddenly good for you and would cause an economic boom. pffft
in any given 2 week period, i read more pro-drug ranting on here than i have seen pro-straight-edge in the last year.

I'm new here and new to running, so I need all the tips and ideas that anyone can give me. I want to do this the right way because I want to do this for a long time. I'm a mother of three and workout 5-6 times a week for 1.5 hours a day, but still want to do something more. I know that I will need a running shoe, but is there one better than the other? How far and how oftern should I begin? Again, any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you
An excellent beginning training plan is the C25K, Couch to 5K program http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
it will get you up and running a 5K 3.1 miles in 9 weeks.
As to shoes, find a store that specializes in running shoes. Fleet Feet is one that has a lot of locations. but there are others. Their personell are trained to watch your gait, check the shape and flexibility of your foot and make recommendations as to the type of running shoe you need. Ask them why they recommend a certain type, ie neutral or stability. They will have you try on several styles within your needs and you select the one that feels best. By the way, you will likely wear a larger running shoe than you do in street shoes. Make sure you have adequate toe room.
Also, spend a few $$s on some good wicking socks. They keep your feet dry and help prevent blisters.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
I agree with starting with the c25k! Good luck
I've never been a runner, so when I started couch to 5K, I was skeptical to say the least. I was doing fine with all the intervals where you alternate between jogging and walking. Then I hit a wall (figuratively not literally ;-) ) when I reached week 5. Week 5 Day 3 I was supposed to run for 20 minutes straight with no walking. I tried and tried and never seemed to be able to do it. I did my 20 minjutes, but I worked a few walk breaks in. I couldn't run the whole time. It was frustarting me and I was ready to give up. Then someone on the forum told me to slow my pace down. If I felt the need to walk, it was because I was going at a pace I wasn't able to maintain. As soon as I slowed my pace down, I was able to run 20 minutes without stopping, then 25 minutes and now I am up to 28 minutes. I just finished Week 78 Day 2. So I have just about another week till I finish Couch to 5K.
So my two pieces of advice would be:
1) don't overdo it. Start out slowly and don't expect miracles early on. Develope at the pace you are comfortable with.
2) Even if the current week feels too easy, don't skip ahead or run more days than the schedule calls for. 3 days a week is perfect to start. It gives your body a day to rest in between runs which is really needed. If you try running 5 or 6 times a week, chances are you'll end up injuring yourself.
Oh and I guess one last piece of advice would be to have fun. If you aren't having fun, you'll never finish the program
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome to the Running World Ai,
Here's a great resource site that could help you start-off right --- Marathon Running World. As far I'm concern, you made a great decision to start running.
Welcome! Glad to hear you are making this commitment! Sounds like you have a great start as far as your overall fitness goes. Running shoes can be tricky and the best way to navigate through the maze of trying to find the right one is to go to a reputable running store where they will watch you run and make a recommendation based on their expert opinion of your running form. This can save a lot of aggravation. They can also make recommendations on clothing and training programs as well. Given the amount you are already working out, the c25k may be easy for you, but starting out slow and steady will keep you injury free. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
Welcome to the world of running! I agree with the advice that you should head to a running store to get properly fitted for shoes. I'd also recommend reading the book "Born to Run" which talks alot about the mechanics of running and shoes vs barefoot running. I still run in my sneakers, but I have a different perspective when I'm buying shoes. I also run barefoot for crosstraining and to work on my form. I agree, good socks are a must. And if you do end up with a few hot spots from new shoes, a little Aquaphor will prevent blisters.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

It's hot outside, but what levels would you go to to stay cool? As news 12 reports, popsicles may be to blame for shots fired in an Aiken County neighborhood.
They're a favorite summertime treat. And police says this Beech Island home off Laurie Drive was a popular stop to get one.
"Apparently all the kids in the neighborhood know that the homeowner is in the practice of giving out popsicles to the kids around the neighborhood," said Michael Frank, Aiken County Sheriff's Office Spokesman.
Monday night around 8pm four teenagers came to the door and asked for some Popsicles. Police say when these nice neighbors ran out of popsicles Monday night, shots were fired.
After forcing themselves inside, the teens shot two bullets into the air, ran outside and fired another shot.
"I thought it was fireworks," said Adeline Bostick.
The noise woke neighbor Adeline Bostick up from a nap. What worries Adeline is the young people's real motive. Investigators suspect the teens asked for popsicles simply to get inside. Adeline hopes the gunman is caught soon.
"I hope justice gets served. I want everyone to be safe where I live," Adeline said.
Teens who loose their cool now face serious charges.
The teens were last seen running down Laurie Street. The sheriff's department says they may have dealt with one of the suspects in the past.
