Breckenridge Ski Resort's new Peak 6 terrain and lifts open to the public for the first time at noon on Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25.
The Peak 6 opening represents one of the biggest ski-area terrain expansions in North America in the past decade and will be the first at Breck since the Peak 7 expansion in 2002.
Visitors to Breck on Wednesday, will be able to ride the resort's two brand-new chairlifts, the Zendo Chair and Kensho SuperChair, both of which start operations for the first time at about noon.
Once skiers arrive at Peak 6 via the new lifts, they will have access to the above-tree-line intermediate and expert terrain that the expansion will become famous for.
Trails and terrain available on Peak 6's opening day will depend on weather conditions and snow coverage; guests can stay tuned to Breck's social media outlets at facebook.com/breckenridge or follow the new @BreckConditions Twitter account for the most current terrain status updates.
"We couldn't be more excited about being able to open Peak 6 this holiday season," said Pat Campbell, chief operating officer of Breckenridge Ski Resort. "This project has been years in the making, and thanks to the incredible efforts of the entire project team, we are poised to be able to open Peak 6 right on schedule and deliver the holiday gift of a lifetime to our guests from around the world."
A detailed, behind-the-scenes look at the final stages of Breck's operational completion of the Peak 6 project can be seen in a video titled "The Finishing Touches" (at youtube.com/breckenridge); it's the latest episode in the resort's "Inside the Creation of Peak 6" series, presented by GoPro,

Oracle Coherence & Oracle Service Bus: REST API Integration
By Nino Guarnacci-Oracle on Nov 17, 2011
This post aims to highlight one of the features found in Oracle Coherence which allows it to be easily added and integrated inside a wider variety of projects. The features in question are the REST API exposed by the Coherence nodes, with which you can interact in the wider mode in memory data grid.
Oracle Coherence and Oracle Service Bus are natively integrated through a feature found in the Oracle Service Bus, which allows you to use the coherence grid cache during the configuration phase of a business service. This feature allows you to use an intermediate layer of cache to retrieve the answers from previous invocations of the same service, without necessarily having to invoke the real business service again. Directly from the web console of Oracle Service Bus, you can decide the policies of eviction of the objects / answers and define the discriminating parameters that identify their uniqueness.
The coherence REST APIs, however, allow you to integrate both products for other necessities enabling realization of new architectures design. Consider coherence's node as a simple service which interoperates through the stardard services and in particular REST (with JSON and XML). Thinking of coherence as a company's shared service, able to have an implementation of a centralized "map and reduce" which you can access by a huge variety of protocols (transport and envelopes).
An amazing step forward for those who still imagine connectors and code. This type of integration does not require writing custom code or complex implementation to be self-supported. The added value is made unique by the incredible value of both products independently, and still more out of their simple and robust integration.
As already mentioned this scenario discovers a hidden new door behind the columns of these two products. The door leads to new ideas and perspectives for enterprise architectures that increasingly wink to next-generation applications: simple and dynamic, perhaps towards the mobile and web 2.0.
Below, a small and simple demo useful to demonstrate how easily is to integrate these two products using the Coherence REST API. This demo is also intended to imagine new enterprise architectures using this approach.
The idea is to create a centralized system of alerting, fed easily from any company's application, regardless of the technology with which they were built . Then use a representation standard protocol: RSS, using a service exposed by the service bus; So you can browse and search only the alerts that you are interested on, by category, author, title, date, etc etc..
The steps needed to implement this system are very simple and very few. Here they are listed below and described to be easily replicated within your environment. I would remind you that the demo is only meant to demonstrate how easily is to integrate Oracle Coherence and the Oracle Service Bus, and stimulate your imagination to new technological approaches.
1) Install the two products: In this demo used (if necessary, consult the installation guides of 2 products)
- Oracle Service Bus ver. 184.108.40.206.0 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/service-bus/downloads/index.html
- Oracle Coherence ver. 3.7.1 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/coherence/downloads/index.html
2) Because you choose to create a centralized alerting system, we need to define a structure type containing some alerting attributes useful to preserve and organize the information of the various alerts sent by the different applications. Here, then it was built a java class named Alert containing the canonical properties of an alarm information:
- Title
- Description
- System
- Time
- Severity
3) Therefore, we need to create two configuration files for the coherence node, in order to save the Alert objects within the grid, through the rest/http protocol (more than the native API for Java, C + +, C,. Net). Here are the two minimal configuration files for Coherence:
This minimum configuration allows me to use a distributed cache named "alerts" that can also be accessed via http - rest on the host "localhost" over port "8080", objects are of type "oracle.cohsb.Alert".
4) Below a simple Java class that represents the type of alert messages:
5) At this point we just need to startup our coherence node, able to listen on http protocol to manage the "alerts" cache, which will receive incoming XML or JSON objects of type Alert. Remember to include in the classpath of the coherence node, the Alert java class and the following coherence libraries and configuration files:
At this point, just run the coherence class node "com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer"
advising you to set the following parameters:
6) Let's create a procedure to test our configuration of Coherence and in order to insert some custom alerts in our cache. The technology with which you want to achieve this functionality is fully not considerable: Javascript, Python, Ruby, Scala, C + +, Java.... Because the protocol to communicate with Coherence is simply HTTP / JSON or XML.
For this little demo i choose Java:
A method to send/put the alert to the cache:
A method to query and view the content of the cache:
Finally the main method that execute our methods:
No special library added in the classpath for our class (json struct static defined), when it will be executed, it asks some information such as title, description,... in order to compose and send an alert to the cache and then it will perform an inquiry, to the same cache. At this point, a good exercise at this point, may be to create the same procedure using other technologies, such as a simple html page containing some JavaScript code, and then using Python, Ruby, and so on.
7) Now we are ready to start configuring the Oracle Service Bus in order to integrate the two products. First integrate the internal alerting system of Oracle Service Bus with our centralized alerting system based on coherence node. This ensures that by monitoring, or directly from within our Proxy Message Flow, we can throw alerts and save them directly into the Coherence node. To do this I choose to use the jms technology, natively present inside the Oracle Weblogic / Service Bus. Access to the Oracle WebLogic Administration console and create and configure a new JMS connection factory and a new jms destination (queue).
Now we should create a new resource of type "alert destination" within our Oracle Service Bus project. The new "alert destination" resource should be configured using the newly created connection factory jms and jms destination.
Finally, in order to withdraw the message alert enqueued in our JMS destination and send it to our coherence node, we just need to create a new business service and proxy service within our Oracle Service Bus project.
Our business service is responsible for sending a message to our REST service Coherence using as a method action: PUT
Finally our proxy service have to collect all messages enqueued on the destination, execute an xquery transformation on those messages in order to translate them into valid XML / alert objects useful to be sent to our coherence service, through the newly created business service.
The message flow pipeline containing the xquery transformation:
Incredibly, we just did a basic first integration between the native alerting system of Oracle Service Bus and our centralized alerting system by simply configuring our coherence node without developing anything.
It's time to test it out. To do this I create a proxy service able to generate an alert using our "alert destination", whenever the proxy is invoked.
After some invocation to our proxy that generates fake alerts, we could open an Internet browser and type the URL http://localhost: 8080/alerts/ so we could see what has been inserted within the coherence node.
8) We are ready for the final step. We would create a new message flow, that can be used to search and display the results in standard mode. To do this I choosen the standard representation of RSS, to display a formatted result on a huge variety of devices such as readers for the iPhone and Android. The inquiry may be defined already at the time of the request able to return only feed / items related to our needs.
To do this we need to create a new business service, a new proxy service, and finally a new XQuery Transformation to take care of translating the collection of alerts that will be return from our coherence node in a nicely formatted RSS standard document.
So we start right from this resource (xquery), which has the task of transforming a collection of alerts / xml returned from the node coherence in a type well-formatted feed RSS 2.0
our new business service that will search the alerts on our coherence node using the Rest API.
And finally, our last resource, the proxy service that will be exposed as an RSS / feeds to various mobile devices and traditional web readers, in which we will intercept any search query, and transform the result returned by the business service in an RSS feed 2.0.
The message flow with the transformation phase (Alert TO Feed Items):
Finally some little tricks to follow during the routing to the business service, - check for any queries present in the url to require a subset of alerts - the http header "Accept" to help get an answer XML instead of JSON:
In our little demo we also static added some coherence parameters to the request:
I would like to get from Coherence that the results will be sorted by date, and starting from 1 up to a maximum of 100.
Just incredible, our centralized alerting system is ready.
Inheriting all the qualities and capabilities of the two products involved Oracle Coherence & Oracle Service Bus:
- RASP (Reliability, Availability, Scalability, Performance)
Now try to use your mobile device, or a normal Internet browser by accessing the RSS just published:
Some urls you may test:
Search for the last 100 alerts :
Search for alerts that do not have time set to null (time is not null):
Search for alerts that the system property is "Web Browser" (system = 'Web Browser'):
To compose more complex queries about your need I would suggest you to read the chapter in the coherence documentation inherent the Cohl language (Coherence Query Language) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22837/api_cq.htm .

Lafourche considers lengthening weekend bar hours
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 8:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 8:29 p.m.
The Lafourche Parish Council is considering whether later bar-closing hours on the weekend would provide an economic boost or a law-enforcement problem.
The council is scheduled to decide Jan. 22 whether to give Lafourche bars the option of staying open until 3 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Bars would still have to close at 2 a.m. Monday through Friday mornings — the same time required throughout the week now.
The change would not apply to bars in the incorporated areas of the parish. Thibodaux, Lockport and Golden Meadow have their own regulations.
"Bars right now are in terrible shape because of the down economy," said Councilman John Arnold, who introduced the proposed change. "This would help them out."
Arnold owns Club Illusions on La. 1 near Lafourche Crossing. The club was formerly known as the G-Spot strip club. Arnold said it is closed and will reopen as a night club.
"That extra hour is going to help out each bar owner," Arnold said. "Consider there are 20 to 25 bars in the parish. ... They each have about five to 10 employees. They will benefit."
Arnold also argued the parish would benefit from extra tax collection and increased video poker royalties.
But not everybody is convinced.
"I don't know about it," said Councilman Daniel Lorraine. "I'm going to listen to the public and see what they want."
Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre said he is opposes the change.
"The existing law has functioned well for the 30 or so years it has been in place," Webre said. "To expand it further will create safety issues. Particularly with impaired drivers and such."
Webre also said there will be a greater likelihood of alcohol fueling other crimes such as domestic violence.
There are no plans to change Thibodaux's 2 a.m. bar-closing ordinance if the parish passes the change, said Ryan Perque, executive assistant to the Mayor Tommy Eschete.
"You would have another problem if the people in Golden Meadow and such leave (at 2 a.m.) and then drive somewhere in the parish for an extra hour of consumption before driving back to their home," Webre said.
Arnold said he will ask the change be made for a six-month trial period. If anything goes wrong in that time, the law will revert back to a 2 a.m. closing requirement.
"The idea of the trial period opens itself to the possibility for irreversible harm," Webre said.
Not all bar owners support the idea.
"First of all, I don't need no regulations," said Bobby Beck Grabert, owner of Beck's on La. 1 in Raceland. "I have enough government regulations. If they are asking me for my vote, I don't see if the extra hour is going to make or break me."
Grabert has owned his establishment for 23 years and said he wouldn't change the hours if the ordinance allowed.
"If you have a bar with 200 people, it would help," Grabert said. "But with my size establishment and my patrons, it isn't going to do much."

Welcome to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the most controversial holiday of the year.
If you thought it was just another day when government agencies get nothing done, you're selling it short. That happens most days of the week. MLK Jr. Day has a place in history that's almost as special as the man himself.
For starters, it was 14 years in the making. First proposed in 1969, one year after King's assassination, it didn't come before Congress for 10 years -- and then it failed by five votes in the House of Representatives. One of the arguments in opposition was the added cost to the government of another paid holiday. (That was back when elected officials still cared about deficits.)
After four years and a monumental petition drive -- an estimated 6 million people signed nationwide -- legislation easily cleared both the House and Senate and was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. Of course, it didn't go into effect until 1986. No sense rushing things.
Even when it was official, not every state celebrated the holiday.
North Carolina Sens. Jesse Helms and John Porter East, both Republicans, were among the most outspoken detractors, citing King's opposition to the Vietnam War -- who could find fault with the Vietnam War? -- and his alleged association with communists, the key word being "alleged."
Some argued that King's accomplishments didn't measure up for such an honor. All he did was give his life for the cause of civil rights. Others said only presidents deserved their own holidays, apparently not wanting to diminish the distinction accorded President Christopher Columbus. (You knew he was president, right?)
The two states that held out longest -- New Hampshire and Arizona -- finally changed course only after coming under considerable pressure. The turning point for Arizona might have been when the National Football League, in protest, relocated Super Bowl XXVII from Phoenix to Pasadena. Super Bowls aren't easy to get.
Arizona was recalcitrant even then. It referred to the holiday as "Civil Rights Day" until 2000, before finally stepping in line with the rest of the country.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day has taken on added meaning in recent years. It now is known as a day of service -- "a day on, not off," as the saying goes -- when Americans are urged to volunteer their time to the betterment of their communities.
Philadelphia pioneered the concept -- 100,000 volunteers there participated in 1,500 projects last year -- but it now is common practice across the country. These are a few of the examples in the East Bay:
The Women's Initiative in Concord will organize assistance for women with startup companies who need help with filing, cleaning and other office chores.
Red Cross units in Pleasant Hill and Pleasanton will open their doors to blood donors who are least 17 years old and in good health.
The operators of Mare Island Historic Museum in Vallejo will welcome help in rehabilitating their facility.
Shepherd Canyon, Dimond and Peralta Hacienda Historic parks in Oakland will ask volunteers to weed, mulch and clean the grounds.
There are 10 federal holidays on the calendar, beginning with New Year's Day and ending with Christmas, but none of them generated the controversy -- nor faced the opposition -- this one did.
In many regards, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is just like the man.

Watches for that corporate look
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 9:37:34 AM in Parmigiani Fleurier (29)
In the grueling and highly-competitive corporate world, how do you tell everyone you mean business and you're on top of the game? Aside from everything contained in your curriculum vitae or portfolio and your communication skills, your success also depends on your looks. Believe it or not, superficial as it may sound, people judge us first by appearance. We also tend to draw people our looks deserve. In the corporate setting, structured clothes--like tailored jackets and trousers and coats and blazers are professional. Looking neat and simple yet classy and elegant would mean to tell the world you are responsible, and organized. Designs in darker colors and shades and simpler geometric patterns also tend to look more professional. For style, you may work around accessories. Discreet metal-based jewelry is more classic and elegant that the flamboyant ones you wear in parties. Watches are perfect accessories in the corporate workplace, besides that fact the they're important too. Parmigiani Fleurier has a fine collection of men and women's watches perfect for your corporate look. The watches are trendy, modern and youthful and will surely standout in a dynamic work environment.
Parmigiani Fleurier is available in Shreve & Co. at San Francisco, California.

Q: The doorknob has hit the wall so many times it has made a large hole in the wallboard. I tried to fill the hole with newspapers and then spread some drywall paste over the hole, but, as it dried, it would crack and fall off. What should I do to fix the hole so I can paint the room?
A: Normally a doorknob hole is small enough to be repaired using a drywall repair kit that contains a small metal screen with an adhesive backing. The screen is placed over the hole and drywall compound is spread over the screen.
If the hole is "large," as you stated, then you will have to remove some of the damaged drywall to make the repairs. Here are two suggestions:
1: Using a pencil, draw a straight line just above and just below the hole. Use a drywall saw and cut each line until you reach a wall stud on either side of the hole.
Next, measure more than three-quarters of an inch from each edge of the hole to find the center of each stud. Expand the hole with a box knife.
Purchase a small piece of drywall from a home store and cut it to fit the opening. Attach the drywall to the studs using drywall screws.
Use a 4-inch-wide putty knife to apply drywall compound to the joints and cover with mesh drywall tape. Allow the compound to dry and apply several more coats, feathering the edges of the compound further out each time. Sand the area and you're ready to paint.
2. Using a drywall saw, make the opening slightly larger and as square as possible. Purchase a small piece of drywall and a 3-foot-long (or longer) piece of 1-by-3-inch lumber. Cut two pieces of the 1-by-3 to the width of the opening plus an additional 2 inches.
Remember, there will only be 14 inches of space available between the wall's 2-by-4-inch studs. Place the 1-by-3 inside the opening of the existing drywall with half of the 1-by-3 exposed. Use drywall screws to secure the 1-by-3 to the rough opening of the existing drywall. Do this at both the top and bottom of the hole to act as a backing for the piece of drywall you will be adding.
Cut the purchased piece of drywall to fit the opening and secure to the 1-by-3 backer boards using drywall screws. Tape, apply compound, sand and paint.

OpenSpace Shower Wall 35 3/8" W x 39 3/8" L x 80 3/4" H for Right Installations, with Clear Glass
The shower partition that enlarges the bathroom.
A shower enclosure takes up a lot of valuable space in the bathroom – but does it really have to? The EOOS group of designers thinks not and has developed the innovative OpenSpace shower enclosure. A frame in brilliant chrome provides the contours on the wall. Two large self-locking glass doors are fitted in the frame, in a translucent design or with a mirror on one side. After showering, these doors can simply be "folded" against the wall. This avoids a rail protruding into the room, the tap fittings and shower hose are concealed and the bathroom appears much larger, particularly with mirrored glass. OpenSpace is ideal for combining with the DuraPlan shower trays.
- Glass construction
- Product width: 35.375" (measured at the widest point)
- Product length: 39.375" (measured on the longest side of the product)
- Product height: 80.75" (height of the product from lowest to highest point)
- Doors can be "folded" in when not in use to give your bathroom a larger feel and appearance
- Great for small bathrooms with limited space

CHAR-KOOSTA Newspaper of the Confederateti Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation VOLUME 13 NUMBER 2 MONTH OF THE CAMAS JUNE 1, 1984 More details about the petition Petitioners take their show on the road A group of Tribal members calling itself the Kerr Dam Relicensing Team has had a busy spring. They've been busy knocking on doors with a petition, The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs. qr ni lenii vm asw m ili l-l t3" O ¡3 3 Sa lis appearing at at least four Tribal meetings in two weeks, sending out "news releases" to various newspapers in Montana, and have been in contact with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Washington, D.C The team's core appears to include spokesman E.W. "BUT' Morigeau, Stella Morigeau Jamison, William "Ernie" Gefeller, and Pat McAlpin Morigeau said the group had grown from an initial membership of "about 20 poor Indians" to 1,500, evidently meaning 1,100 petition signers and 400 off-Reservation supporters. The team's stated purpose is to secure a new lease agreement between the Tribes and the Montana Power Company. Terms of the proposed agreement are the granting of a new 50-year lease to MPC to operate Kerr Dam in exchange for MPC paying $31 million for the first 20 years The money is requested to be divided up evenly among the Tribal membership. The proposed lease ignores estimates of the dam's actual value The dam today earns $2.6 a year for the Tribes MPC offered to raise that to $3 million a year last October. MPC has admitted to FERC in written testimony, however, that a fair rental is $11.92 million a year. Experts hired by the Tribes say a reasonable rent is $30 to 40 million a year. The team's proposed deal is equivalent to $1.1 million a year, less than half the dam's current rent This fact, says the Council, would cause the Secretary of the Interior to disapprove the lease as bad business, even if the Tribes' governing body supported it According to a May 11,1984, letter to the team from MPC president Joe (Continued on page three) Another district meeting announced A combined Poison- Pablo- Ronan district meeting has been scheduled for 6 pm on Wednesday, June 13, in the Council Chambers in Pablo. On the informal agenda will be discussions about Kerr Dam, per capitas, sec- retarial elections, economic development, and any other concerns the audience may have Dinner will be served, and all Tribal members are encouraged to attend and speak to their district representative

In Philadelphia, Jeffrey Stockbridge presents large-format photographs of the interiors of abandoned houses and those who live in their midst. Shooting with a 4x5 view camera and available light, Stockbridge adopts a humanistic view that expresses his subjects' will to survive.
Jeffrey Stockbridge photographs the neglected buildings and resilient inhabitants of economically depressed neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. For his exhibition at the DCCA, Stockbridge juxtaposes images of empty or derelict interiors against portraits of local residents who have entered such inhospitable spaces and in many cases made them their own. United States Census data from 2008 indicates that Philadelphia is home to approximately 60,000 abandoned properties. Stockbridge states, "Nearly half of these are located in North Philadelphia... Although North Philly has been hit the worst, drugs, prostitution, and abandoned houses can be found in abundance across many different neighborhoods throughout the city."
While the United States is still reeling from the current recession, Stockbridge's images allude to the persistent poverty these communities have long been facing. Attuned to the contested history of photographic depiction of disenfranchised communities, Stockbridge strives for a humanistic portrayal of individuals whose material reality stands in sharp contrast to the mythical American dream. Stockbridge is on a first name basis with many of his subjects and has interviewed several of them about how they cope with daily survival. He re-casts deserted homes and vacant buildings as almost apocalyptic stage sets that evoke a narrative about the lives of current and prior tenants. While there are many glossy ads and tourist-oriented portrayals of the city, Stockbridge visualizes a more nuanced and non-commercial version of Philadelphia that acknowledges multiple experiences rather than one of privilege and perfection.

I was recently given some as a gift and told that it helps to give you energy and speeds recovery between workouts.
This article does a great job of explaining the pros and cons of creatine. http://www.active.com/fitness/Articles/Creatine__Behind_the_Hype.htm.
Hope it helps! Good luck.
Thanks for the article. I wish there was more out there on Creatine though.
Since most supplements serve a certain purpose it would be nice to know what exactly the supp was that was given to you, and what sport you are trainig in.....
Basically I'm a runner. I lift weights and do some triathlons also. I'm never going to set any world records, but always trying to improve my times (and I like to beat my friends!!!).
The Creatine that I was given is Xyience NOX-CG3. I've taken it about 1/2 hr before a workout. I was told that it would give me energy in the middle of my workouts, which I don't know if it is true. Also, I've tried it a few times and I became a little queasy a couple hrs after the workout (I don't know if the creatine is the reason for this, but I don't have any other expanation.)
Any input would be appreciated.
Well Here is my input.
Many atheletes that require short quick bursts of speed supplement creatine. Creatine can make you alot stronger. The amount in the particular supplement that you are using is not really enough to cause significant strength gains but there is enough in there for WATER RETENTION. To keep speed during races atheltets will cycle off creatine to keep strength gains but loose the excess water, because that's added weight that will slow you down. So I would say that's your downside. You may be slowed down a bit due to some extra water....
Thanks for the input. The main reason that I would (I stopped after 3 times) is to help out with workouts. I really don't care about water retention (and I don't really know what that means).
Basically Creatine (what I'm taking) can give me energy during a workout, increase my strength and not really have a downside? Am I wrong but it sounds like a win win win situation.
What you claim is true. But the water retention is what I think will get you. Water retention is when your body hols onto more water than it needs to, therefore making you weigh more, and the more weight you carry in theory, the slower you will be.
Thanks for the responses Cody. The water retention may actually be good for me as I am terrible about drinking water during races .
Creatine is the most researched and documented sports supplement to date. It has been clinically proven to be effective in over 50 different clinical trials and is a benefit for any athlete. Creatine occurs naturally in muscle tissue and is an energy source for muscle function and supplementing creatine has been proven to increase the aerobic and anaerbic thresholds of muscle tissue. Creatine was first released as a powder in the early 1990's as Ceatine Monohydrate. This first creatine required a loading phase of 20 grams per day for 5 days and then a maintenance dose of 5 - 10 grams per day. Fluid intake also needed to be maintained to a minimum of 64 ounces, 1 gallon, a day to facilitate transport into the mucsle cell. This first version of creatine did cause interstinal bloating and that was the only most common side effect. Some reported creatine caused water retention but this is not exactly true. Creatine causes cell volumization which is not the same as water retention. Water retention occurs in the skin tissue whereas the cell volumization occurs in the muscle cells.
Creatine has evolved over the years into its newest compund by being esterified thus providing better absorption and no gastric upset. The new versions are all typically labled as creatine ethyl ester compounds and these are the premier compounds and are highly effective.
The product you have is a good quality creatine and should be taken as labeled. The great thing about the creatine ethyl ester compounds is that they are so easily absorbed by the body that they can really be taken anytime of the day or evening. I do not supect your stomach upset was caused by the creatine but I would give it another try and take it before bed or with your first meal.
Creatine is great at building lean mass for those interested in that and it is fantastic for endurance athletes because it increases your ability to exercise longer by providing additional fuel.
I did read in one of your posts that you poorly hydrate during events. Proper hydration before, during and after the event is essential to peak performance. Slight dehydation significantly impedes performance, so even if you decide not to try the creatine, your fluid intake really needs to be carefully monitored. You need to come in the race fully hydrated and continue to consume fluids throughout the event then rehydrate fully after the event. I am confident that with careful attention to your hydration program you could easliy beat your personal best without creatine supplementation. Adding creatine ethyl ester to a properly hydrated body will only imporve your results.
Creatine is the safest and most effective sports supplement on the market today.
WOW!!!! That was great and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
One question further though. Should I take it only on days that I workout (about 5 1/2 days a week) or everyday?
As for hydration, I've always said that water and stretching are for suckers:) . Actually, I have trouble drinking in the middle of a race. Trouble breathing properly and not getting a stomach ache. I kind of feel that any race under an hour I don't need to drink during a race. Am I wrong (I'm sure I am but.....)?
Thanks again.
In the old days daily supplementation was needed due to poor absorption, but with the new formulations the same cellular creatine concentration can be achieved with half the dose and no loading phase. With that being said I do not believe skipping days will be detrimental, although I have not read any clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of daily versus training days only supplementation. If cost is not an issue, then daily supplementation should be your regimen when preparing for an event or while you are "in" season. Off season supplementation could be limited to training days only.
I have gotten advice from some fitness sages over the years and it has really helped me keep my supplement budget in line and my performance at its highest. The basic should be followed consistently before adding additional supplements as costs increase with each level and adding costly supplements without following the basics can impede the effectiveness of the supplement you are adding. Once you are consistently doing the basics, adding the intermediate and advanced supplements will take you to the next level. Here is my supplementation advice young Skywalker.
Basic supplementation - Doing this ensures you are getting the daily essentials and may increase your performance enough without spending any extra money or adding any other supplements.
Divide your total daily calorie need into five or six small meals evenly spaced throughout the day
Drink at least 1 gallon of water a day in addition to your other beverages
Take a multivitamin everyday
Take an additional b complex or stress tab daily
Eat a high quality protein and complex carb meal no later than thirty minutes after your workout- a meal replacement shake is excellant at this time
Intermediate supplementation
Add creatine to your daily routine
Add whey protein to your diet
Hydrate and rehydrate before, during and after the event with a glucose and electrolyte solution
Advanced supplementation
Add a nitric oxide stimulator prior to all workouts and events
Carb depletion/loading phases before competition
Fitness basics
Do not poo poo stretching and hydration. Stretching has been proven to increase sprint speed and recovery time, but stretching should only be done after your workout or after you have warmed up to a light sweat. Any other time stretching can hurt performance.
Dehydration can reduce performance significantly, slow reaction times and set you up for injury. When you sweat and do not replenish your water loss your cellular fluid thickens which slows down chemical process, decreases lubrication and reduces your cooling abilities. The rule of thumb for water rehydration is to weigh yourself before your event and immediately after then drink 1 quart of fluid for every pound of lost weight (or 1 liter for every lost kg). To be more precise you should weigh in minimal clothing to prevent the wet clothes from altering your after workout weight. Hydration during the event should be a few ounces every 15 minutes or so. Plain water is sufficient for events less than 1 hour and a glucose/electrolyte solution for events over 1 hour.
The bottom line is there is no magic pill and supplements are meant to assist an already established foundation. They are supplements to and not replacements for good nutrition.
Great stuff. Thank you, I really appreciate it. I've taken multivitamins on and off for years and I haven't noticed a difference. That said I'm going to try working on this stuff.
As for hydration and stretching I was kidding. I've compared the two to dental floss. Everyone knows that you should do it and do it often but many do it wrong and not enough if at all. I've been trying to go to yoga to work on my flexibility.....humbling to say the least.
My real problem w/ hydration is that I have to go to the bathroom just about every hour....the price one pays for health
Everyday I seem to learn something new that I could or should do for my health/body. I'd be in the gym for 16 hours a day if I did them all.
Glad to help.
I am going to assume you are male, so unless you have prostate problems which causes you to urinate frequently once you get properly hydrated, the frequent trips to urinate will subside. Most people stay in a state of mild dehydration. This dehydrated state increases the concentration of electrolytes (primarily sodium) in your blood and tissues so when you add water in amounts more than you are accustomed to your sodium level falls and to correct the sudden change the body sheds water. This water is primarily excess from your tissues so regular water intake will eventually equilibrate your electrolyte status in your tissues to optimal levels. Once done, in two or three days of consistant hydration, the urination frequency will subside.
There are reports of people losing 2-3 pounds in a few days simply by getting there fluid balance back in order. This weight loss is from retained tissue water due to the mild dehydration that existed.
I don't know about you, but I am really thirsty right now. lol
It will do nothing for an endurance sport at all..In fact the extra water you retain will make endurance activities harder. It helps only with explosive movements lasting 5-15 seconds. It retards lactic acid build up and will add a rep or two to your strenght. It does not give you energy so to speak rather a boost of power- one could say energy in as much as an extra rep or 10-15 lbs of power very quickly is concerned. Sports such as shot putting, power lifting, some foot ball positions would benefit. Loading is not necessary, thats only a way for the marketers to make money. It makes the muscles seem fuller and thicker.

Responding to the HIV Epidemic in Ethiopia
Ethiopia's HIV crisis
Ethiopia's first cases of HIV were reported in 1986 and the disease rapidly spread. By 2009, an estimated 1.1 million Ethiopians were living with HIV but the country had limited resources and capacity to address the epidemic.
In the late 1990s the Government launched a major HIV programme with support from UNDP's Leadership Development Programme and Community Conversations approach. By 2008, the prevalence of HIV had been reduced and 53 percent of people needing treatment were receiving it.
Engaging with people and communities
As a co-sponsor of UNAIDS, UNDP works to help countries respond to the development and social dimensions of HIV. It recognizes that action in social protection, gender, human rights and the environment can contribute to better health outcomes. UNDP helps countries integrate HIV priorities into national planning processes, strengthen governance and coordination of HIV responses and promote human rights and gender equality.
Major achievements include:
- increased demand for voluntary counselling and testing;
- increased condom use;
- integration and expansion of voluntary counselling and testing;
- initiation of prevention of mother-to-child transmission and antiretroviral services; and
- encouraging trends in the involvement of people living with HIV and AIDS to strengthen local engagement.
In the 1990s UNDP launched the Leadership Development Programme and Community Conversations methodologies to promote partnerships and encourage strategic multisectoral responses to HIV. The Leadership Development Programme unites leaders from across sectors, empowering individuals to develop organizational cultures that can generate transformational change. Community Conversations is a community-based programme that facilitates dialogue and decision-making, enabling communities to generate their own responses to the HIV epidemic. Both approaches aim to develop leadership at different levels of society; they are mutually reinforcing.
In Ethiopia, UNDP's approach began with advocacy and support to the Ministry of Public Health in planning a nationwide response. UNDP later became operationally involved by supporting the introduction of Community Conversations. Applying expertise developed around the world, UNDP trained local facilitators to initiate community conversations across four provinces, with striking results. Communities were enabled to acknowledge the HIV epidemic and to explore harmful norms or practices that fuelled its spread. Women in particular were empowered to address issues such as gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health.
In 2004, the Government adopted the Community Conversation approach as part of its national strategy. The methodology was mainstreamed throughout the country and used not only to stimulate open discussion and behavioural change, but also to help prioritise within the national AIDS programme.
In 2009/10, 89.3 percent of kebeles (Ethiopia's basic administrative unit) conducted community conversations, and 24,723 community facilitators were trained. An equally impressive performance was reported for school-based community conversations. The number of engaged communities continues to increase.
Making a difference: the transformational impact
Ethiopia's achievements in stemming the spread of HIV are impressive. Not only has incidence of the disease been controlled and reversed, but the country's ability to treat those already infected has grown (see graphs below). Life expectancies have increased, reducing the economic consequences of early death.
Nevertheless, significant challenges remain. A high turnover of key government staff and tensions between local and national institutions complicate the sustainability of progress. Extending the national programme to sparsely populated areas stretches available resources to the limit and sustainable funding remains a challenge.

Lessons Learned
There is little doubt that UNDP's Leadership Development and Community Conversations programmes contributed significantly to the success of Ethiopia's HIV programme. A number of factors influenced this outcome:
Strategic positioning of HIV in the wider public health and development arena: HIV was not treated as an isolated health sector issue but as a challenge requiring a concerted effort among health and non-health sectors.
Government leadership: From the outset, the Government responded to the HIV challenge. It put in place a national institutional framework to manage a national programme. Faced with the early success of the Community Conversation methodology, it quickly financed and mainstreamed the methodology nationwide.
Applying global programmes at a country level: At the time they were introduced in Ethiopia, UNDP's Leadership Development Programme and Community Conversations were global programmes. This enabled Ethiopia to share its experience and benefit from similar work in other countries.
International partnerships: UNDP was one of a range of actors who complemented each other in supporting national programmes. To its credit, the Government was open to these international partnerships. This ensured the necessary financial resources to address the HIV challenge.
Paving the way with institutional development: The flow of international funds required empowered and responsive institutions. While there were tensions between national institutions at different levels of society, overall national capacity to design and implement programmes has been greatly enhanced over the past 15 years. There was a steady escalation of capacity development policies and programmes during the 1990s and early 2000s, of which the Leadership Development Programme and Community Conversations were an important part. This paved the way for major resource flows starting in 2005, from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

West Nile virus (WNV) first emerged in the Western Hemisphere in 1999 in the New York City area and has since spread across the United States. The virus is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes.
Most human infections are mild, causing fever, headache, and body aches, often accompanied by a skin rash and swollen lymph glands. If the virus crosses the blood-brain barrier, however, it can cause life-threatening conditions that include inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
NIAID supports research on WNV through its comprehensive emerging infectious disease program. This program supports research on bacterial, viral, and other types of disease-causing microbes.
West Nile fever is caused by a virus that is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. WNV is a member of the Flaviviridae family. Other diseases caused by flaviviruses include yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, dengue, Saint Louis encephalitis, and tickborne encephalitis.
WNV was first isolated in Uganda in 1937. Today, it is most commonly found in Africa, West Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In 1999, it was found in the Western Hemisphere for the first time in the New York City area. In 2000, it appeared again in birds and mosquitoes and then spread to other parts of the eastern United States. By 2004, the virus had been found in birds and mosquitoes in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.
In 2012, the United States experienced the highest number of human cases of West Nile disease since 2003, with a confirmed 5,674 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Visit the CDC WNV website for the most recent numbers of reported human cases of WNV infection in the United States.
The first step in the transmission of WNV happens when a mosquito bites an infected bird or animal and gets the virus while feeding on the animal's blood. The infected mosquito can then transmit the virus to another bird or animal when it feeds again.
Crows are highly susceptible to lethal WNV infection, as are robins, blue jays, and other birds. Scientists have identified more than 138 bird species that can be infected with WNV and more than 43 mosquito species that can transmit the virus.
Although the virus usually cycles between mosquitoes and birds, infected female mosquitoes also can transmit WNV to humans and other "incidental hosts," such as horses. With so many susceptible hosts to amplify the virus and so many mosquito species capable of transmission, WNV has spread rapidly across the United States.
Most cases of human disease occur in people over 50 years of age and in people with impaired immune systems. In a very small number of cases, WNV has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, and breastfeeding, according to CDC. The virus does not spread through casual contact, such as touching or kissing.
Approximately 80 percent of people (about 4 out of 5) who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all, according to CDC.
Most people who do develop illness (up to 20 percent of people infected) have relatively mild disease with symptoms that include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, and vomiting. There may be swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach, and back. The illness often ends after a few days, but some people may experience symptoms for several weeks.
About 1 in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. Symptoms of serious illness include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness, and paralysis. Serious illness can occur in people of any age; however, people over age 50 and those with weakened immune function are at the highest risk for getting severely ill when infected with WNV. These symptoms may last several weeks to years, and neurological effects may be permanent, according to CDC.
People typically develop symptoms between 3 and 14 days after they are bitten by an infected mosquito.
According to CDC, preliminary diagnosis of WNV infection is often based on the patient's symptoms, recent activities, places and dates of travel, and whether the virus has been detected in the location where the patient was bitten by a mosquito.
Laboratory diagnosis of WNV infections generally involves testing blood serum or cerebrospinal fluid for the presence of WNV-specific antibodies, or in some cases, the viral nucleic acid. The Food and Drug Administration has approved four commercially produced diagnostic tests for WNV. None of these tests can yet be performed in doctors' offices; rather, the blood sample must be sent to state health labs or other testing facilities for analysis.
No specific drug treatment is available for WNV infections. Milder WNV illness improves on its own and does not necessarily require medical attention. Severe cases, however, usually require hospitalization to provide intravenous fluids and respiratory support and to prevent other infections. If you develop symptoms of severe WNV illness, such as unusually severe headaches or confusion, seek immediate medical attention. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should talk to their physicians if they develop symptoms that could be WNV.
NIAID conducts and supports the research and development of new diagnostic technologies and treatments for WNV. Researchers at several institutions are working to develop simple devices for rapid, point-of-care diagnosis of arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses), including WNV. NIAID-funded scientists are also working to develop rapid diagnostics to detect multiple viruses known to cause hemorrhagic fevers and encephalitis. It is hoped that the different approaches being investigated will lead to cost-effective, rapid diagnostics that could eventually be performed in physician's offices or even at home, so that treatments could be administered very early in infection to reduce severity of disease.
Through the NIAID Preclinical Services Program, researchers are evaluating compounds for antiviral activity against a panel of viruses, including WNV. In 2011 and 2012, nine compounds were tested for activity against WNV in rodent models of disease, and 220 compounds were tested in vitro (in cell culture). Promising compounds will be further analyzed for safety and efficacy.
In 2011 and 2012, NIAID awarded six research grants to scientists studying small-molecular-weight compounds as potential antivirals to treat flaviviruses, including WNV. Other therapeutic approaches that are being investigated include
Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent WNV infection in people. The best way to prevent infection is to limit exposure to mosquitoes. For example
NIAID supports research on a variety of vaccine approaches that could potentially lead to a safe and effective preventive vaccine for WNV. These approaches include vaccines containing cocktails of individual WNV proteins and chimeric vaccines, which combine genes from more than one virus into a single vaccine. A third approach involves DNA vaccines, in which DNA that codes for a particular virus protein is combined with bacterial DNA, and the combined product is injected directly into the skin of the person or animal being vaccinated.
Currently, there is no licensed WNV vaccine for people. In 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture licensed a DNA vaccine to prevent WNV in horses, and since then, at least four other types of WNV vaccines have been approved for use in horses. Because federal regulations for veterinary products are less stringent than those intended for human use, products developed for animals can proceed at a faster pace.
WNV vaccine research conducted and supported by NIAID includes
NIAID conducts and funds basic and clinical research on
With NIAID support in 2001 and 2002, researchers found that hamsters and mice are good models for WNV in humans. As a result, golden hamsters and mice are now used to test the efficacy of WNV vaccine candidates and antiviral treatments. NIAID-supported researchers are studying the different ways the immune system responds to WNV and how these responses interact to affect infection. Scientists are also examining how WNV evolves and adapts to changing environments and the structural changes that occur to the virus when it replicates.
NIAID has long supported the World Reference Center for Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses (WRCEVA), located at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, which helps support research and outbreak investigations throughout the world. In response to the 2012 WNV outbreak in the United States, WRCEVA scientists sequenced several newly isolated WNV strains from Texas. Using genetic analysis, they compared different WNV strains to see if the virus has changed over time. In addition, the center has long provided research resources, such as viral isolates and reagents, to the scientific community. The center's repository currently includes more than 500 WNV strains and isolates from across the globe.
In July 2012, in a NIAID-supported observational study of WNV patients in the Houston area, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine discovered chronic kidney disease among 40 percent of patients long after recovery from acute disease. The study highlights the continuing need to investigate the pathology behind persistent infections, clinical outcomes, and treatment options.

STOCKTON - California Highway Patrol officers conducted a traffic enforcement stop early Tuesday and then arrested the driver after finding him in possession of a gun, ammunition and a bulletproof vest, authorities said.
Officers stopped a silver Dodge Dakota for traveling slowly about 12:50 a.m. near Wizard Avenue and Vicki Lane, the CHP said. The driver, identified as Jose Perez, 31, provided a fake name to officers and said he did not have a driver's license, authorities said.
While investigating to determine his identity, officers noticed Perez was wearing a bulletproof vest with an inserted trauma plate, the CHP said. They also found him in possession of a .45-caliber Glock 21 handgun and a 26-round magazine, officers said.
Perez was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a high-capacity magazine and possession of body armor by someone convicted of a violent felony, officers said.

Wonderful evergreen scent
Most pine scented candles have me running for the hills. They just don't smell "right" or realistic; like watermelon candy instead of real watermelon.. very different tastes.Anyways, this candle was given to me as a gift. I looked and saw "fir" and thought... oh please let it smell nice or I'm going to be in an awkward situation of ... oooh pine scented candle... you shouldn't have... while fending off a mild wave of nausea or sharp recoil of gah! To my relief and delight, I was very pleased when I smelled it and very excited about giving it a whirl when I got home because I love the natural smell of evergreens (well, except juniper or wintergreen ;) ). I was not disappointed when I used the candle the next day. It smelled heavenly (and does right now too since I'm burning it). The candle (votive size) has lasted several hours so far. It has burned clean and the scent is staying true. Hope the review helps :)
Amazing intense conifer aroma
I live in a cedar log home, ....and really am drawn to all aromas & decor in pine, cedar & fir scents. No surprise, as my last name means "white pine" in German! I had purchased at candle from this manufacturer from a boutique in Wausau WI....they had one burning in the foyer....and it's scented presence haunted me for days....until I went back & wiped them out of their stock. Very, VERY impressed
I love the Fraser fir fragrance.
When I saw some products on sale (through the website which has been very good to me before Christmas sale) that I had longed for in an exclusive hotel gift shop, I hurried and purchased them. The packaging from Thymes is an art unto itself, plus free sample packets. I have been consistently delighted with the products I have ordered from Thymes.com and appreciate their sale notifications. My sweet mother who I no longer have here, introduced me to this line over 30 years ago, (she was also from Minnesota) and we continuously gifted each other back and forth with these products. My sisters also love Thymes products. Please keep making Frasier Fir, Eucalyptus and Filigree as they are my favorites.
Great Scent, doesn't last long enough, costs too much...
I LOVE this scent! It's so fresh and covers up any of those yucky kitchen smells, eliminating the need for room spray. HOWEVER, the votives don't last very long, and the cost is high for the amount of time the candle actually lasts for. I want to get more, but the cost is too much compared to other brands out there.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The defense attorney for one of two brothers accused of shooting four women to death in January says he plans to call witnesses at a Monday preliminary hearing whose testimony will point to other suspects in the killings.
John Echols told The Associated Press on Thursday that his client, Cedric Poore, had nothing to do with the killings of 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.
The four were found tied up and shot in the head.
Poore has pleaded not guilty. His brother, James Poore, has also been charged in the deaths and has pleaded not guilty.
Authorities believe the brothers robbed the women at a rundown apartment complex, then killed them because they feared they would be identified.
