Dropping deep
I can't ne'er stand why we do this so often after going ahead. We invite teams on and then isolate our attackers. We've got to stop this coz it will be our undoing in the long run.
In saying that it's early days and we will improve but we need to nip it in the bud ASAP.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It certainly keeps happening but we are picking up points for fun. I'm not convinced there was a tactic at Swansea, as D said, when PC got injured, the game just changed. The ball just wouldnt stick on the counter, there was a time late on when we had 5 players in front of the ball. I think it is just us coming into the season still, when we take a lead we focus on getting ourselves right defensively then try to play but it just isnt as fluid. I think Sturridge isnt fit and the focal point running out of energy makes a big difference. My feeling is that we are exerting a lot of energy early on. Again though, Swansea have very fast wingers, you dont really want Kolo and Skrtel playing high lines in the closing stages when they can be opened that easily with one ball over the top.
I am not trying to be clever, I am just thinking out loud! The difference between this and the other games is that Swansea werent just taking potshots from far out like United etc, they really had us rattled. Hopefully Agger or Toure will be fit enough to return to the starting eleven on Saturday.

I tend to agree with you that Swansea had us more rattled than what we've faced so far. The fast wingers is one point, which I think really held our full backs getting forward which is our only real width in attack. Not having Glen also really hurt as Wisdom really is a centre back and not an attacking full back.
But on the other side of the ball I do have to give credit to Swansea, Bony and Mitchu were both very effective, and able to get the ball to stick when it arrived. Skrtel had a great game, and may have been the difference in terms of getting us the point, but he's much more in the mold of a Carra in that he saves the day with a last minute block or tackle rather than being proactive in preventing a chance from developing. I was impressed with Sakho, he's comfortable on the ball and a beast to get by, but there were a couple times he jumped in early which created space when the tackle did not come off.
So for me while I think Sakho will grow as he gets used to our system and his new teammates, like you I do hope Agger will be available for the weekend. But the bigger loss is going to PC, who it looks like will need surgery. For me that is going to be a big loss as he's been the engine of creativity either when cutting in from the left, or on Monday when he really dictated the play from the center. I'm sure we'll manage without him, and with Suarez coming back soon I think we're now going to see more of Sturridge and Suarez together, but it does annoy me that one simple deliberate foul to stop a breakaway could cost us a lot more than one missed chance. Thanks Williams!

Some might call it dropping deep and inviting (danger) teams onto ourselves, but others might call it controlling the game and looking for the counter attack. Personally I find it a little nerve raking myself, as controlling the ball always seems the best defense, although against a side like Swansea you can't expect the ball all the time.
But for me the big turning point was when Phillippe went off injured. We lost our rhythm, and the glue that brought the front line into the game. The first half, especially the first 20-30 minutes (other than when JonJo got his goal) it was the Coutinho show, and it was absolutely sublime. When he went off, and with Gerrard now sitting deeper we just had little creation, and while I'd been impressed with Aspas to date, last night I have to say he was awful.
End of the day, while I'd like us to dominate throughout I think we have to recognize away from home, and against better teams, BR will look to manage the game, and yes grind out the result if that is what is called for. But sitting top of the table using that tactic I'm not sure we should complain too much. Is it better to complain after the fact that we played some great stuff but held on at the end of the result, rather than say we were the better team playing the better prettier football but got robbed of the points?
While sitting top of the table at the moment is fantastic, and nothing we envisioned after 4 matches, and a potential 5th winnable, we could have easily been sitting on 4/5 points, if not for the outstanding defending, particularly of Skrtel and Mignolet in net..
I was lucky enough to be at last night's match here in Swansea, (magnificent atmosphere), and I left feeling very lucky to have 1 point in the bag, must have covered my eyes 5-6 times in the last 15..
My only guess is that until Suarez is back, perhaps BR feels the bench lacks a little for us to extend ourselves offensively should Sturridge or Coutinho (who did) get hurt.. Not sure that makes much sense though

Speaking of Coutinho getting hurt, from what I saw it was the result of Ashly Williams leaving his knee out for the pint sized Brazilan to crash over on his shoulder injuring him for god knows how long now, it genuinly felt at times like a few Swansea players almost hold a grudge against Liverpool or Rogers or both, a couple of times specialy Williams almost went looking for trouble which colminated in the injuring of Coutinho. I seem to remember him also having a few unpleasent words in regards to Suarez a while back.
Williams has really gone down in my book and am glad we didnt buy him as he has showed signs of being quite a unpleasant individual.
Almost felt like Liverpool vs Shelvy at times, why on earth have we sold a kid with so much potential, strengthening Swansea, could we not have loaned him out a couple years ready to take or play the role Gerrard fills now??
He was an absolute beast against us and if it wasnt for his silly/ recless mistakes probly would have put us to the sword and taken all three points, he wont always be a liabilty and looks to me be a deadly in future.
So many more things to say about this match about the loss of posesion in the second half due in my eyes to a tired and week midfield after Coutinho went off. Sakho looks to be a truly awsome center back at some point soon but was a little bit reckless in his tackles but will only improve with time.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - I'm surprised that many people mistakenly think that the preservation of Royal Gorge - 2,900 acres at the crest of the Sierra Nevada - is a done deal. Yes, the Truckee Donner Land Trust, in partnership with The Trust for Public Land and support from the Northern Sierra Partnership, is in escrow to purchase the property and preserve it in perpetuity.
But the very challenging task of raising $13.5 million to fund the deal by the December 20 close of escrow is far from over. With the deadline looming, let me share a little information - much of it borrowed from the website of the Truckee Donner Land Trust (www.tdlandtrust.org), which provides greater depth for those who want more detail.
What's the current status?
The Truckee Donner Land Trust and The Trust for Public Land, working with the Northern Sierra Partnership, have reached an agreement to purchase the 2,900-acre Royal Gorge property at Donner Summit.
This deal comes after the current landowner, contemplating a 950-home development at the site, went into foreclosure last year. To date, we have raised over $8 million. The response from the community and people that care about conservation has been overwhelming.
Why is it important?
The Land Trust and its partners have been working toward this opportunity for twenty years. We now have our best shot in a generation to protect all of Royal Gorge's remarkable meadows, peaks, forests, streams, and lakes forever.
This rugged but delicate terrain at the crest of the Sierra offers remarkable beauty, natural habitat, peace, fresh air, dark skies, water quality, and rich historic significance.
The Land Trust will work with the community to develop a management plan for the property that includes open space, recreation, habitat protection, fire suppression, and forest health. Donner Summit is a hiker's paradise. It's the birthplace of California ski resorts. And Royal Gorge Nordic Center provides some of the best cross-country skiing opportunities in the United States.
The agreement will ensure that Royal Gorge Nordic Center, which generates more than $1 million dollars in gross revenue and employs up to 75 people, will stay in business. And furthering Donner Summit's role as a summer destination for recreation will benefit outdoor and tourist-based businesses in our entire region.
How do land trusts work?
I first learned about land trusts in 1982 when I was studying Natural Resource Economics during my college junior year abroad in New Zealand. We did a case study on the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, of all places, while I was in a classroom 6,000 miles away.
"What a great idea," I thought. "Willing buyers deal with willing sellers, without cumbersome regulation, costly legislation, or intrusive intervention. A land trust, funded largely by private donations, is a great way for a community to come together to express its collective values by putting its money where its mouth is. If people don't want development in their backyard, they can pool their money and collectively buy land to set it aside forever."
Who will own and manage the property?
If the purchase is successful, the Truckee Donner Land Trust will ultimately hold title to the Royal Gorge property. Uses will be limited to conservation and recreation purposes. The threat of development that began in 2005 is still fresh in people's minds, and it will rear its head again in the future unless this deal comes to fruition.
Current county zoning calls for as many as 3,238 new houses for the Royal Gorge property and even some commercial development. A successful purchase by the Land Trust will assure that development is not an option.
Leverage your donation
The time to donate is now. Several challenge grants are available until November 15, so your tax-deductible donations to the Truckee Donner Land Trust will go even further if you contribute in the next couple of weeks. Contact the Land Trust to get in on the action by calling 530-582-4711 or clicking on www.tdlandtrust.org.
Let's take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime chance to preserve a precious slice of the Sierra in perpetuity. It's a tremendous opportunity, which comes with an enormous challenge. Let's step up and make this dream a reality. Let's buy it!

A Brown County father is in jail after he said he shot his son on Sunday afternoon.
Deputies said John M. Louderback, 41 was killed around 1:20 p.m. in the 6100 block of Conn-Geeslin Road.
Deputies said the shooting happened after a domestic dispute between Louderback and his father, Leroy Louderback, 71.
Detectives said the elder Louderback called the sheriff's office after the shooting.
"Actually, the shooter is the one who called 911. (He) said he had shot his son and he needed somebody to come out here," said Chief Deputy John Schadle.
Leroy Louderback was charged with voluntary manslaughter. Bond was set at $50,000.
The case will be turned over to a grand jury. Additional charges are possible.

Ancient wisdom and quantum physicists make unlikely bedfellows: In quantum mechanics the observer determines (or even brings into being) what is observed, and so, too, for the Tiwis, who dissolve the distinction between themselves and the cosmos.

Concord police Detective Amy Hendricks has become an expert on prostitution. Her two-year tour on the Special Victims Unit opened her eyes to a sad reality of which not many people are aware.
"When you talk to the average person about prostitution, they think about a brothel or a 'ho stroll,' women out on the street," she said. "Since the creation of the Internet and cellphones, there is so much more activity that goes unnoticed. There are people out there willing to pay for sex with minors."
And there are pimps willing to force young girls to provide it. The crime is known as human trafficking, and Hendricks says it's almost impossible to quantify because it so often goes unreported.
"The average age of a girl who gets involved is 12 to 14," she said. "We refer to them as high-risk youth because they tend to already be troubled. They could be from a group home. They may have a broken family. Many times, there was physical or sexual abuse earlier in their lives -- something that made them susceptible to victimization."
One thing's for certain: Almost none of them set out to live this life.
Hendricks said pimps groom girls for the trade in one of two ways. A "Romeo pimp" wins her affection, promising a relationship. Once he's earned her trust, he persuades her there's easy money to be made from turning tricks. The "guerrilla pimp" is less subtle. Violence is his training tool.
Hendricks choked up last week as she talked about the victims she knew at the annual Community Violence Solutions Champions Luncheon, where she was honored along with Richmond Detective Rebekah Ireland-Clark and Contra Costa Deputy District Attorney Alison Chandler for their efforts in fighting sexual violence.
Hendricks, who was attracted to police work because she was once a victim herself -- "I really don't like bullies," she said -- first encountered human trafficking as a patrol officer. It was natural transition into the Special Victims Unit.
"I've always found myself drawn like a mama bear to calls that involve children, victims who didn't have the ability to stand up for themselves. I was in the trenches with a lot of these girls, seeing them walk the track. I just wanted to up the ante in my involvement."
She now is regarded as an expert in the field and often called to testify for the prosecution. She was involved in the arrest and prosecution of Bay Area rapper Joel Williams, recently convicted of human trafficking, pimping, pandering and drug furnishing and transportation."
The victim in that case was different -- older, in her 30s and from out of state -- but the repercussions were sadly familiar.
"This girl suffered so much trauma in her life that she has remained a child socially and emotionally," Hendricks said. "The only people she knew were people in this life. She requires a great amount of care."
Exposure to the seamy side of society takes a toll even on officers. Hendricks, a mother to three, ages 4 to 11, said the hardest part of the job is trying to not bring it home. That challenge will end soon. She rotates out of Special Victims in another week.
"But I'll still stay attached to my cases," she said, "and the DA's office has promised it will continue to use me for other court cases."
There always are more bullies to put away.

ROHNERT PARK -- Jalon Luque rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including a back-breaking 66-yard score in the fourth quarter to lead the No. 2 Rancho Cotate High football team to a 21-14 win over visiting Las Lomas on Friday night in the North Coast Section Division II semifinals.
Las Lomas (5-7) got a break late when Rancho Cotate fumbled the ball on four consecutive snaps in the fourth quarter, including one that led to a blocked punt. That led to Adam Wood's 1-yard touchdown run which cut the deficit to 21-14 with one minute, 31 seconds left.
However, the seventh-seeded Knights were called for an illegal touch on the ensuing kickoff and the Cougars ran out the clock.
It was a miserable night for football, with rain falling constantly and steam rising up from the field like it was coming off of the head of Otis Sistrunk. The conditions led to 14 fumbles between the teams. Amazingly, only two were lost.
However, the weather forced Rancho Cotate (11-0) to keep the ball on the ground. Michael Courchaine threw only three passes for the Cougars, completing just one. But it was a big one, an 11-yard touchdown to Chris Taylor-Yamanoha late in the first half to break a scoreless tie.
Las Lomas responded by converting an onside kick to open the second half. A 12-play, 46-yard drive culminated in a 1-yard run by Wood to tie the score at 7-7.
By that time, however, the Knights defense had begun to tire and Luque took over. Rancho Cotate marched 84 yards on 10 plays -- all on the ground and seven by Luque -- to take the lead for good. Luque scored on a 7-yard run.
The Cougars defense forced a punt and it took Luque just one play to break the game open. He took a handoff up the middle, spun through the line and broke into the open field for 66 yards.

CHARLOTTE -- A suspect has been arraigned in the double murder of a Delta Township couple this past Sep. 22.
He is identified as 38-year-old Christopher Allen Perrien of Sand Lake, charged with four counts -- two of felony murder, two of felony firearm possession.
Perrien, who has an extensive non-violent criminal history (mostly financial fraud) was arraigned Thursday at the Eaton County Courthouse.
Michael Greene, a retired Michigan State Police detective and his wife Terri, an employee at the Department of Environmental Quality, were found dead in their Delta Township home.
Officials declined to say whether or not Perrien knew Michael Greene, nor have they released details of how the couple was killed.
Perrien was on a court-ordered work release from the Eaton County Jail when the murders occurred. But an investigation afterwards showed Perrien didn't have a job, according to Sheriff Michael Raines.
State Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, told News 10 on Thursday he plans to revamp the work release program.
"I want to mandate that every work-release inmate that goes out of the jail has a tether on with GPS," Jones said. "That'll deter any kind of crime, but certainly this type of crime."
He's also calling, in light of Perrien's alleged ability to slip through the cracks, for closer monitoring of a work releaser's employment.
In Eaton County, the sheriff is taking preemptive action, requiring all work-release inmates to wear a GPS ankle tether, paid for by the inmate. He also proactively revoked the work release of several inmates and will now require work releasers to provide an original pay stub each period to jail staff.
Perrien will be back in court Jan. 5 for his preliminary examination. Bond has been denied, and he'll be issued a public defender.

Interview w/ the Worcester Telegram re:This Sunday's Show
What happens when I try to answer broad interview questions at 3am:
This Sunday's show is at The Raven in Worcester, MA and will probably my last New England show for 2011. It's all ages, starts at 7PM and is only $10. Hope to see the forum folk there.
Could you tell me more about your background and how you got into music?
I was born in Antarctica in 1981. My father was a Sealer and my mother was a Research Assistant who got drunk in a dive bar. She abandoned me shortly after my birth, and I was raised for the first 10 years of my life by my biological father there.
When I was 10 my father was permanently disabled by a fairly brutal hunting accident, which led to us moving to live with my grandparents in Hanton City, RI. He died several years later.
After that the story is pretty typical. Boy finds rap. Boy lives in isolation, becomes estranged from what little family he has, is homeless for a period of time, goes to battle with all of hip hop and the world and wins, shatters genres, meets Sage Francis, triumphs briefly and ultimately dies penniless.
You are coming to Worcester on June 26th. What's the tour called? Are there any special guests playing with you? What can fans expect when they come to your show? What do you like best about touring?
Worcester will be the first show in a somewhat sporadic schedule that's still being filled in, which will probably take me all the way through November. This show will be the debut of my new set for 2011, featuring lots and lots of new arrangements and new songs that I'll be trying out for the first time.
Joining me for the show will be a number of other acts, most notably Shane Hall, who's an incredibly talented musician from Uxbridge, MA that has been a sort of secret player on a lot of my past projects. He's a crazy multi-genre multi-instrumentalist song writer / arranger / jack of all trades, and his live chops are something a lot of folks could learn from. He never fails to entertain and I'm looking forward to his set.
Alex Charlembeides will also be on the show, and he's a performance poet I've been enjoying since 2004, and a tireless activist and organizer of the Worcester scene. I'm glad to have him involved as he's a peer that's been a fan and advocate for me for years now.
It'll be an eclectic, weird show with something for everyone. I feel fairly certain of that. As for touring, I like lots of things about it... but most of all the way it causes weak people to de-evolve into vicious, hateful, lizard brain monsters before your eyes.
What was the process like creating your new album, "Fallen House, Sunken City"? Could you tell me a little more about the album and your inspirations?
"Fallen House, Sunken City" is the latest in a series of artifacts I am creating for an Alien Excavator Race. After each of my albums is done, I encase them in 3-ton titanium barrel molds and bury them 10 feet below the earth. It's my hope that they will survive whatever nuclear or environmental crisis mankind falls victim to and outlive humanity.
In order to keep this hobby of mine funded, Strange Famous Records presses up digital and physical reproductions of my artifacts and sells em for me. So I can buy enough Titanium for the next project.
Alias is the producer who supplied all the beats on the album, and our inspirations ran the gamut, I'm sure. For the sake of naming some names though, I think the album sounds like: The Knife, Public Enemy, Kool G Rap, Ice-T, a young LL, Edgar Allen Poe, Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf's Cadet years, Aphrodite's Child's '666' album, haha... I might just be naming things I like now.
Any future projects? Where do you see yourself in the future?
As for where I see myself in the future, see previous answer. As for future projects,
House of Bees vol. II: We Live in the Air Now
is coming together now and features a lot of material i'm excited for people to hear. I'm also working on a number of big shows which will be announced soon. People can catch up with what's going on at
Lot of new developments are posted there weekly and daily.
Thanks for the interview and I'm looking forward to playing Worcester for the first time in 4 years... See you Sunday!

Since HIV was first identified in 1983, enormous progress has been made in understanding how the virus attacks the immune system to cause disease and in how to intervene therapeutically. NIAID-funded researchers have also made great strides in reducing mother- to-infant transmission of HIV. Twenty-seven different preventive vaccines have been evaluated, and efforts are under way to increase the number of new vaccine and microbicide candidates.
Still, research is needed to identify new strategies and tools to accelerate drug and vaccine discovery, to better understand immune reconstitution, and to determine the most promising drug candidates. Viral drug resistance remains a major obstacle to effective, long-term therapy. Finally, for HIV prevention efforts to have a global impact, effective, inexpensive, and easily administered regimens need to be developed, especially with regard to mother-infant transmission.
Epidemiologic research provides information that advances our understanding of the biology and clinical course of HIV infection. Comprehensive data and biological sample collections from individuals who are either at high risk for HIV infection or are already infected provide a complete picture of HIV infection and disease, and serve as a unique resource for investigations of immunologic, virologic, genetic, and other factors that may modulate the various stages of HIV disease.
HIV pathogenesis research increases our understanding of the biology of HIV by studying the virus' life cycle, virus-host interactions and mechanisms of disease progression and transmission. Knowledge gained from these studies enhances the ability of researchers to create new agents and vaccines to combat HIV infection. Nonetheless, more information is needed about how the virus evades the immune system.
NIAID-sponsored therapeutics research has had a dramatic impact on the clinical management of HIV infection over the past decade. Recent studies have shown that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), regimens of at least three antiretroviral drugs (i.e., reverse transcriptase inhibitors and usually at least one protease inhibitor), is capable of suppressing HIV viral load to undetectable levels in many infected individuals and partially restoring immune function. Such regimens have had a dramatic impact on HIV morbidity and mortality in this country. Nonetheless, there is an ongoing, urgent need for new therapeutic agents to control HIV replication and boost, rebuild, and/or replace immunity lost in HIV infection.
Three-dimensional image of the HIV protease enzyme critical for viral replication.
The discovery and development of a vaccine that protects against HIV infection is one of the highest priorities of the NIH AIDS research program. To accelerate identification of effective vaccine candidates, future studies will need to address the significance of latently infected cells, immune responses induced by current vaccine candidates, and the impact of HIV and HLA diversity. Because the majority of new HIV infections are occurring in the developing world, strong international collaborations will need to be formed and ethical issues addressed in order to conduct efficacy studies in developing countries.
Control of the AIDS epidemic will probably require a combination of prevention strategies, even in the presence of an efficacious vaccine. Such strategies include methods to interrupt mother-th4o-infant transmission of HIV; biomedical approaches, such as topical microbicides and the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); and behavioral interventions.

On the surface, a BA in French Studies from a small university seems largely useless. Until I ended up on a small vineyard in St-Emilion with shears in my hands racing an impending storm, I would have agreed. While the link between studying French literature at the Sorbonne getting my hands dirty in St-Emilion limestone and sand might not be immediately clear, it is the path of education that led me there and my continued interest in studying the why of it all that keeps me going. Although I have been in various aspects of the wine industry (restaurant, retail, import and wholesale), and I had been exposed to great wines long before that harvest in Bordeaux, it was that one adventure that cemented my love for wine.
For me drinking wine is about enjoying what is in the bottle to the fullest extent, and that starts with the history. Knowing where a wine came from, who had their hands in the making of it and what the future might hold all adds a dimension. Of course how the wine smells and tastes in the end is by far the most important factor, but other influences such as food pairing and the company sharing the wine matter too. Drinking wine should be fun, and for me food and friends contribute to that greatly. When I drink wine I am searching for the ultimate experience in the moment.
Another key factor for me – that often gets raised eyebrows or scoffs – is the glassware. People can argue the merits of shape all they want; for me, it makes a big difference. I never wash my glasses with soap either. Lead crystal is porous, and if soap seeps in once every wine thereafter will be forever tainted. Hot water, steam, and a lint free cloth do the trick. It is the little details that really bring out the true cork dork (wine geek, wine snob; take your pick, we've heard them all). Why bother? When I open a bottle I don't care about what score some critic gave it; beginning with the first swirl of the glass, I care about what I am getting from the wine, because I am drinking for me.
I began making notes when I drank wine as a reference method for myself. With so many wines from all over the world, I wanted to be able to better understand what it was that intrigued me about wine, and why I enjoyed certain wines more than others. Whether in a formal dégustation or at home with friends, I still make notes for myself on every wine I taste. If my notes can help me pick a great wine the next time I am looking for something new then it is all worthwhile.
On that note, my 1998 Deutz Blanc de Blancs should be just about at the right temperature now, so it is time to put away the computer and indulge in some elegant, rich, honeyed bubbles.

The best way to pick up speed is track and hill work
and fartlek (speed play) during some training runs. Be careful though as you stress the heart more, particularly when older, at the shorter, faster pace races if you race them hard. I hit the track once a week and do 400m 800m and 1mi repeats. I use club races (weekly less formal 5Ks) and race them at sub-fastest pace but push. During a lot of runs, even jogs, I pick up the pace quite a bit
for 1/4-1/2 mi stretches. If you don't do these type
of things your times will saturate quickly (not improve)---however, if your times saturate (don't improve) you are still staying in shape and burning calories. We take for granted where we are and what it takes to stay there.
Wow! I am a 49 yr old female and JUST started running in September. I ran my first 5K Oct. 28 (my 49th birthday!) and came in around 42 minutes, and I never walked! In comparison to everyone else who responded, I feel REALLY slow. So to "Respectable", you rock, Dude!
My goal is a full marathon in January 2008. When I can get to your level, I'll really feel like I've arrived, and I WILL!
Hi, I am a male age 40. One year ago I weighed 237 and am 6'-3. I started running a couple times a week and then started to run/work out at our YMCA locally. When the weather broke and spring had sprung, I hit the road running.
My first 5-k race was in July and posted a time of 24:11
My second 5-K was 3 weeks later and posted a time of 22:06
My third 5-K was 2 weekends ago and posted a time of 27:28+/-.
This last race was the best!!! What better feeling is there than running it with your 11 year old daughter and seeing her push herself and being excited with her finish of 27:26.
Congratulations on your time and don't worry about the norm. Reality is, there is none, there's only your Personal record. Try to beat that, not the other young, faster,lighter runners.
Run for yourself, run with passion, run for the high, run for your health.
197 lbs.. and hooked
I'm in my senior year of Highschool,and I enjoyed the first few weeks of XC,but I got tired of 5k's easily.My best time was a 17:07.9 at an away meet upstate.My best time at Bethpage is a 17:22.Maybe it was the course differences,but Bethpage made 5k's unenjoyable.I'm running my last one there since I missed going to States,but i'm not mad,winter track is comming,and i'm more then ready.I can run under 4:30 for the mile,and its time to push my limits.
I would say that any time that is a new personal record is pretty respectable. It will only take a few new P.R.'s and you'll be staring at a 20:00 5K. Keep training hard and be proud that your doing it. Before long you won't know what to do with all of your medals. That's respectable!
Ha ha, 440's? When's the last time you were at a track?
Hi everyone.... interesting
a 22:20 is very good! i am in high school and a female but i run that time! it takes a lot of work to get there! good job keep pushing you can do anything!!!
Methinks a respectable finish time is relative.
Like others who have posted on this thread, I'm a relatively new runner with an October 2, 2011 5K in my future.
My goal is to finish my first-ever 5K. While I am training and working towards impriving my running, for this first 5K, my primary goal is to finish - running the whole way.
While I haven't really focused on my pace/speed, I do know that in the 6 weeks that I've been training, I've improved in both endurance and speed.
The only person I want to do better than is myself.
I figure anything in the 18s will put you near the front of your age group depending on the size of the race. If there are a lot of good runners you might have to run in the 16s to win your age group. You can usually go to the event website and look up last year's winners by age group.
My advice is to train at multiple paces. Here are some sample workouts:
3 X 1 mile repeats
4 X 800m intervals
6 X 400m intervals
4 X 200m intervals
4 X 100m intervals
6 X short hills
Each of these would be run in increasingly faster than the previous workout and you can do one of these per week. Sprinting up hills can make you very fast and strong.
I'll add my $.02 to this very old thread, though it's probably worth a lot less than that.
First, I have never run a 22:something 5K. If and when I do that, I will declare myself a Kenyan. Second, I'm 45 years old and am happy running mid to high-20's in a 5K. Is that respectable? Probably not to many of you. But to me it is. You see, my very first 5K was 12 years ago and I "ran" it in 42 minutes. Yeah, that's a pretty high time and it's probably even worse given that I "ran" the whole thing, never taking any walk breaks. But see, that was my only goal at that race: to complete it. I, of course, hated the fact that middle-aged (and older) heavyset women beat me to the finish line, but I never gave into my temptation of tripping them the last 100 yards or so. Have I improved that much in the 12 years of on-again off-again running? Not really. But I enjoy running more now than I ever have. I'm much more physically fit than I was. And at 45 years of age I weigh about what I did in college 20-some-odd years ago.
In short, the answer to your question of respectability really depends upon whose perspective you're looking through. While a 22:something 5K is pitiful as compared to world class runners, it's phenomenal compared to most everyone else. If you're happy with your time, then it's clearly respectable. And by the way, I respect the heck out of that time. I'd have to quit after 2 1/2 miles or so to achieve it!
The MOST important thing at our age (50 and over) is to have fun and stay active and fit. For the vast majority of us who actually have little things like uh families, jobs, and other minor obligations to attend to, the time nor inclination is not there to train as we did in our teens and twenties. I once ran in the 17's for a 5k; now my times are around 24 min, which is above average for this age group. My Dr. says I am very fit. Don't let 5k times affect your enjoyment of running.
Every race that I've ever seen has divisions broken up every 10 years or so and awards are given to top three in each div. So, if it is an award you are after then look at last years result and factor in that most folks got a little faster. Most high school track kids don't run the 5K, but go for 10K or above. Those that do, like my son, can do a 5k in 17.5. By why on earth would a 40-50 want to do a 5K under 18? However, in the 40-50, normally and I mean normally unless you are in an elite race a 20 will place you. A 22 is doing very, very well and you should be proud of yourself.
Respectable is subjective...I think sub 30 would be fantastic and low 30 min to be quite respectable. my son would think that sub 17 is respectable (he is former XC runner and his PR is sub 17 for 5k ) I am 48, former loose head prop - weigh in at 225 currently (down from 250) and have PR around 33min. Respectable to me is finishing race period. For folks who wish to finish closer to front of pack Go for It! I'll stay out of your way (at least at the start) and give you a thumbs up and a wave if/when you pass me by.

This creative play activity is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Come roll with us! –Valerie
Looking for a simple idea to get the kids outside this summer? This recipe for summer fun could not be any easier, yet it inspires imagination, creativity, and plenty of active play! Welcome to Trunki Town!
We visited a local playground with some sidewalk chalk and our Trunkis in hand to create our very own town. My daughters loved embellishing their town with roads, a park, lakes, houses, and many other interesting details. Lots of creative playtime fun!
Then it was time to drive their Trunkis all over town! It was quite an impressive little town they drew. I love how such a simple activity kept them happily occupied for a long time–all while burning lots of extra energy!
I especially loved seeing their smiles while they did this! They pretended to drive their Trunkis to the store and library. Later, the streets became an exciting Trunki racetrack!
Clara was especially proud of her hand-drawn parking spaces. Aren't they lovely?
If you create a Trunki Town of your own, be sure to share your pictures with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!
Have fun playing outside with your kids this summer!

Troops in Afghanistan Tell Hagel of Sequester Worries
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan–Washington isn't the only place waiting to see if there is a budget deal. Troops in Afghanistan are also hoping a Congressional deal can come together this week to roll back, at least temporarily, the across the board spending cuts known as sequester.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is in Afghanistan this weekend to meet with troops—and what he heard were worries about budget cuts.

- Seib Video: Defense Secretary Hagel to Depart Amid Frustrations
In a talk with troops at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan's Helmand province, the first question Mr. Hagel heard from one Marine was about the sequester and what additional cuts would be necessary.
Mr. Hagel said the troops in the field would get "everything you need to do your mission" even if all the cuts remain in place.
He said while he was planning to make a new round of cuts in January, he hoped a deal would be reached this week between House and Senate negotiators to reduce the across the board spending cuts for the next two years.
"The sequester has cut deeply into the Department of Defense budget," Mr. Hagel said. "We are planning and preparing for continued reduction in our budget."
The Pentagon faces a $52 billion cut to its half-trillion dollar budget in January if the spending cuts are not suspended.
"The budget agreement they are working on would give us an opportunity to get some of that back," Mr. Hagel said. "Whether they will make that deal or not I don't know."
Many in the military are concerned that particular missions could be consolidated or eliminated if the cuts are not reduced. Air Force Staff Sgt. Scott Shalek said he was worried that the combat search-and-rescue mission could be taken from his service and given to the Marines or Army.
Currently the Air Force has responsibility for rescuing downed pilots. But rather than developing a new combat search and rescue helicopter, some defense officials believe the Marine Corps tilt rotor Osprey V-22 could be used for such rescue missions.
Sgt. Shalek said cutting the Air Force out of the mission of rescuing downed pilots in the name of budget cuts would be a mistake.
"This is all we do, combat search and rescue," he said. "We support fighter plane operations all over the world. Wherever they go we go."
Not everyone in the military is opposed to the sequester, however. At Mr. Hagel's second stop of the day, in Kandahar, he was hit with two more budget questions, but both from soldiers worried about wasteful spending.
Chief Warrant Officer Four Randall Schlensig, of the Nebraska National Guard, asked Mr. Hagel, a former Nebraska senator, about whether deficit spending by the government could trigger even deeper cuts later.
Later, as Mr. Hagel was handing posing for pictures with the troops, Chief Schlensig said while he understood the military chiefs' frustration with the sequester, current levels of governmental spending is unsustainable.
"Given the irresponsibility of Congress an across-the-board spending cut may be the only practical way to implement it," he said.

CORPUS CHRISTI - With fall classes underway, the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball staff is finally able to get its first work in with its group of nine newcomers.
NCAA rules limit the coaches to two hours of on-court activity per week with each player, so the Islanders split into three groups, two of which worked for an hour on Thursday. The groups will each have two sessions per week until the team is allowed to begin full squad workouts.
"It's exciting to get into the gym with our players after months of anticipation," head coach Willis Wilson said. "We're limited in the amount of time we can spend with the guys, but I assure you we'll make the most of it."
The Islanders open their 2011-12 season on Friday, Nov. 11, at Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. The following Monday will be the home opener, against Denver, in the American Bank Center. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi plays host to 12 home games this season, including non-conference matchups with Utah State, Texas Tech and South Alabama.

De Blasio Wants Lower 9/11 Museum Ticket Price
By Michael Howard Saul and Jennifer Maloney
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday he hoped the admission price for the National September 11 Memorial Museum – set this week at $24 – will be lowered and he called on the federal government to provide significant funding.
"We deserve substantial federal funding for this museum, and I don't think we're getting what we deserve," Mr. de Blasio said at a City Hall news conference. "Let's face it, what could be more of a nationally important site than this? It was a national tragedy. And people come from all over the nation, all over the world to see it."
On Thursday, the memorial's board of trustees approved the $24 ticket price as part of a $63 million operating budget and financial plan to keep the memorial and museum running in the absence of government support. The memorial currently does not receive any government funding, but officials are renewing a push for money in Congress. The museum is scheduled to open in mid-May.
Mr. de Blasio said he hoped the memorial's board of trustees would consider lowering the admission price if government funding could be secured.
"I certainly hope that the museum, particularly if we can get that federal help in, will get that admission down as much as possible," he said. "I'd like to see them do better."
"To be fair to the museum," the mayor added, "they could do a lot better if the federal government will hold up its end of the equation."
Joe Daniels, the memorial's president, said if the memorial gets federal funding, "We will absolutely use those funds to increase access." That could be done, he said, by reducing the ticket price or increasing free categories.
Under the current plan, admission for children under age 5 and family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will be free. First responders and recovery workers who worked at the World Trade Center site will be able to register and then be admitted free. Seniors and students are eligible for a discounted ticket. The museum will be open free to public three hours each Tuesday, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Mr. de Blasio declined to say whether he believed admission should be free to everyone, as some of the victims' family members have advocated. The mayor said he would like to hear from museum officials what they believe the ticket price should be if additional resources could be obtained.
Memorial officials do not plan to ask Congress to underwrite the entire $63 million annual budget. In the current budget, ticket sales, concessions and gift shop sales cover nearly two-thirds of the budget. At this point, officials plan to cover the remainder of the budget with annual fundraising.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the memorial foundation planned to ask Mr. de Blasio to subsidize the memorial's operations. A new city subsidy would reverse a decision made by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who felt that because the terrorist attacks were a national event, Congress—and not the city—should help fund the memorial. Mr. Bloomberg has been chairman of the memorial foundation since 2006.
When asked on Friday whether the city planned to provide funding, Mr. de Blasio dodged the question.
"The bottom line is we're not going to speak about the financing from our side until we see something from the federal government," the mayor said. "We have to hear a federal response here."

These "Tropical Tidbits" video forecasts are great. Thanks for posting on here. The guy talking obviously knows his stuff and he was right on about the storm gaining moisture and cloud formation after it crossed the 50W line into warmer water... it was a good call.
Well things are definitely looking interesting this morning with 2 potential storm tracks heading our way. Funny we might get swell from the second storm first as it comes up and makes it's turn around Bermuda sometime next week..
Lot of land mass and mountains this storm has to deal with coming across DR, Haiti, and Cuba. Kind of hard to imagine it staying cat 1 over all that mess.
100% chance of forecast innacurracy, but it doesnt stop us from geeking on all the reports. Been a long summer. We'll all get waves come sep/oct. Keep the faith.
"Go-Cart Mozart was checking out the weather charts
to see if it was safe to go outside...." Boss
Irene passed mostly north of the big islands like Cuba and DR.
The islands rip the storm apart more if it passes south of the islands putting the NE quadrant over the mountains. If it stays on the current track the NE qaudrant will be in the water leaving it to maintain the cat 1 status.

A Practical Guide to Sustainable Pet Care by A. Pace
In Carol Frischman's new book, Pets and the Plant: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Pet Care, a zoo educator, wildlife rehabilitator, and science teacher helps us to make the pet-to-planet connection and forge a realistic route to sustainable pet parenthood.
This well-organized, conversational (and this just in --award-winning!) guide covers a wide variety of topics pertaining to pets and the environment. Important and timely topics such as choosing the right pet, how pets affect the environment, and the importance of green pet food, equipment and dog toys are covered. Additionally, discussions of how to manage pet waste responsibly, pets and household health, and thoughts on ecologically sensitive pet services are detailed here. With an eye toward both the present and the future, Pets and the Planet also includes a summary contemplation on the unique twenty-first century issues of pets and sustainability.
We like the accessible nature of this book's, along with its mission to be helpful. Every chapter comes complete with a list of resources for the topics that have just been covered. For example, the chapter on ecologically sensitive pet services lists several organizations that promote and advise on green practices, pet-sitters, trainers, vets, and pooper-scoopers (er, make that waste specialists) in your area. And the chapter on green pet equipment and toys lists websites on that topic along with a list of suggested further reading, and so on throughout the book.
Based on the author's belief that lists help translate thoughts and feelings into action, each chapter of Pets and the Planet also includes a "My Sustainability Plan," section in which ways to implement all the new information and advice are laid out in a step-by-step and, more importantly, achievable way. Additionally, throughout the book readers are invited to take quizzes on different topics to find out if their current practices rate "good," "better," or perhaps "best" on the green and sustainability scales. Take note, there's no way to score a "bad" or even a "poor" on these tests, something that's nice for the overachiever in us all but also really true to the spirit of the book. Pets and the Plant teaches that even the little efforts are good and absolutely count for something. So even if you can't get to best every day, there are still plenty of ways to do good. And this book hopes to show you the way.
And because we never stop learning, in order to share new ideas from readers and information discovered since her book's publication, Frischman has created a free newsletter: "Pets and the Planet: A Conversation." In order to receive updates and to join this ongoing conversation, please go to www.thiswildlife.com to sign up.
Recently, Carol Frischman, the author of "Pets and the Planet" took the time to have an email chat with us and answer some questions about her book:
Pampered Puppy: As the author of Pets and the Planet: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Pet Care you've researched and written on a great many topics related to pets and the environment. What was it that compelled you to begin this project?
Carol Frischman: After a walk with my dog, Onyx, I tossed the poop bag into the trashcan, as I always did. That night, for the thousandth time, I wondered if that's what I should be doing with the poop. Should I have buried the poop in the back yard, or used a digester, or a bio-bag? A friend with a small dog suggested I flush the poop. What started as a simple question turned into a research project. No one seemed to have an answer I could understand. That's how it started, and as I looked for those answers, I came up with more questions. What about diets? What about pet products and services.
PP: A big aspect of your book is your "Good, Better, Best" approach toward being environmentally friendly. Can you explain how you came to that philosophy and why it's so important to consider in terms of helping the environment?
CF: Sure. I like the idea of doing the best that I can at that moment. If I don't have time to bury the newspaper I use in my parrot in a part of the garden that's reserved for building soil, I clean the cage anyway, and toss as much of the paper as I can into recycling. The rest I trash. Tying to do clean the cage perfectly (Think Bre Hodge on Desperate Housewives) makes me postpone cleaning the cage at all. That's not healthy for me or for my pet. Being aware of a "good approach, a better approach and maybe the best approach allows me to do what I am able to do and feel successful. Much about the environment feels like failure. Let's look at the positive actions we take, and keep doing as well as we can.
PP: What's one easy and efficient thing our readers can start doing,right now, to make a positive impact on the environment?
CF: The easiest thing that readers can do is to pick up after their dogs in public spaces. People seeing, smelling, and stepping in dog poop makes people hate pets and their owners. Using anonymous surveys, more than 60% of pet walkers admit they do not clean up after their pets in public spaces. That's a lot of fouling of parks and sidewalks.
In the home, keeping cat boxes clean is important. The number one reason cats lose their homes is inappropriate elimination and the top reason cats don't eliminate in their boxes is that they are not clean. And homeless pet takes us to the expense of county shelters, a real burden our communities.
Readers can do easily take an interest supporting municipal proposals for curbside organic waste recycling. Commercial composting of household waste would allow composting of pet solid waste, eliminating ten million tons of waste from landfills each year. To picture the volume of waste, imagine 1100 football fields (including the end zones) piled to a depth of five feet.
PP: In the introduction to your book, you describe yourself as a "pet person," someone who has loved and lived with companion animals of every kind. What kinds of pets do you live with a present?
CF: Two pets oversee my life: a cranky African Gray parrot that's been with me for 23 years and corrects the behavior of my dog, a Doberman Pinscher,eight, that has been our family for five years.
PP: How would those pets describe you?
CF: Well meaning but sometimes extraordinarily slow to understand what they are telling me. A writer is a boring family member, using the computer excessively. The up-side is that they get great toys to play with during the long office hours.
Pups from the toy and terrier group say I'm not a fashion diva, but working dogs like Onyx dig my "suitable for long walks" outdoor eco-wear.
My pets love our urban back yard garden with edible plants. Gray bird prefers grapes, Onyx enjoys occasional cherry tomatoes, and blueberries are my favorite.
I keep trying to understand my pets. When she joined our family, Onyx shredded one fabulous fabric dog bed after another. I almost came unglued. She'd not done this in her former home. Now I heap beautifully colored scraps from Portland's Cagoule Fleece into Onyx's recyclable plastic dog bed. Onyx shreds those scraps, it seems, to relieve tension, especially when I have not given her enough exercise. Okay. She doesn't chew my furniture or bedding-just her bedding and her chew toys. We compromised.
Maybe we'd describe our lives together as perfectly adaptable.

OAKLAND -- Abram Pringle prayed before every meal. He addressed people as "sir" and "ma'am." He was president of his church's youth ministry and a member of its praise team.
He was his father's best friend, his infant daughter's doting breadwinner and absolutely the last young man his pastor, Bishop Joseph Simmons, ever thought he'd lay to rest.
"When someone pulled that gun on him, I can imagine Abram trying to reason with him and tell him that it wasn't worth it," Simmons said.
Yet, under circumstances his wife and parents still don't fully understand, Pringle was shot multiple times in a carjacking in the wee hours of Oct. 15 at Olive Street and 81st Avenue. The 22-year-old was Oakland's 92nd homicide victim last year.
Pringle's family, still grieving his loss, is angry that police have made only one arrest in connection with his killing. And they're furious that the person who was arrested, Charles Byrd, a 23-year-old acquaintance of Pringle's, has pleaded no contest to an involuntary manslaughter charge and is expected to be sentenced next month to just six years for being an accomplice to the crime.
Oakland tallied 110 homicides last year. Only 35 are considered solved or cleared, including six officer-involved shootings that involved five Oakland police and one Oakland Public Schools police officer.
But even if police do apprehend the gunmen, it wouldn't lessen the suffering of those who loved Pringle.
"For a mother to lose her child from a violent death, it's another kind of cry," Angeleter Pringle said. "It's a cry that comes from so deep within, it's like someone's gutted you like a fish."
Pringle, a social worker, has cried those tears for more than two decades. Her older son, Derrick Turner, was just 20 when he was robbed and shot to death in Los Angeles while visiting friends in 1991.
Before Abram's funeral last year, she had the mortuary unwrap his body, revealing two big holes in his chest. "To have two sons killed at ages 22 and 20 and to be shot at the same places on their body, it's enough to kill you," she said.
Details unclear
Abram Pringle worked as a mentor at Oakland's Esperanza Elementary School, while studying forensic science and modeling. He returned to his parents' home on the evening of his death, excited for a model search photo shoot the next day, said his father, Abraham Pringle. Abram Pringle then borrowed his parents' SUV and headed out for the night with a friend.
What happened later is hard to piece together. According to court papers, Byrd confessed to driving the carjackers to the scene of the crime, where "the armed suspects shot the victim and took his car."
Pringle's mother said relatives had talked to Byrd in prison after the killing, and that Byrd had set up the carjacking. She said Byrd, who shared a mutual friend with Pringle, had asked him to follow him in his car to Byrd's father's house so Byrd could return his father's van and get a ride home with Pringle. Instead, the gunmen jumped out of Byrd's van and attacked Pringle, his mother said.
"The plea deal he made is ridiculous," she said. "He's the one Abram knew. He's the one that lured Abram to his death."
Alameda County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Teresa Drenick released a statement that evidence did not show that Byrd was present during Pringle's slaying. "We continue to work closely with the Oakland Police Department to identify and prosecute Abram's actual killer," she wrote.
Still mourning
Pringle was clinging to life as he was rushed to Highland Hospital, which placed calls to his parents and his wife, Tamisha Pringle, who lives in Hayward.
They weren't allowed to see him, even after he had died.
Tamisha returned home from the hospital later that morning to face her two elementary school-aged sons from a prior relationship. "They asked if something was wrong with Abe," she said. "Then I just started crying. I couldn't even put them in school for a week, because they had so much sadness and so much anger."
A few days after Pringle's death, the couple's then-7-month-old daughter, Tai'Jah, began rubbing photos of him. "She was his world," Tamisha said. "Every time she would cry, he would run and pick her up, even if it was just a little sound in her sleep."
More than six months after her husband's death, Tamisha still hasn't touched his closet and still retreats to her car so she can cry out of view of her children. "I can't let them see me in a state where they might think that I don't have it together," she said.
Pringle's parents, who had no other children together, still have Abram's track medals and awards displayed at their house -- a reminder of his life and their loss. "We have to live here every day," Abraham Pringle said. "We have to look at his picture; we have to look in his room."
The medals and awards will go to their granddaughter, so she knows the kind of man she had in a father. Along with that may come some advice that Angeleter Pringle gives to the children she works with.
"I try to tell them, if you have one friend, you're blessed, and that you shouldn't call everybody a friend and you shouldn't trust everybody," she said. "But Abram thought he could trust everybody. He thought everybody was all right."

Hello all. So I had gone through hours of research and troubleshooting and finally got PMS to work marvelously. However, recently my operating system needed a re install. I forgot to take notes on what I did to get PMS to work, and well I am having troubles recreating what I did to make this thing work. So here are my specs, and after this I will address what I have already attempted.
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: To be filled by O.E.M.
System Model: To be filled by O.E.M.

Available OS Memory: 12250MB RAM
Page File: 5452MB used, 19046MB available
PMS version is 1.72.0
Streaming to a PS3 with no custom profiles being used.
Everything is connected with Cat-5e cables and the PS3 and my PC are both set to 100mbps half duplex I believe it is. The ps3 is connecting through a Netgear WNDR3400v2 router.

Wednesday October 26,
Lincolnton, Ga--Lincoln County coach Larry Campbell has seen pretty much everything there is to see on the football field. He's had lots of great players in his tenure. This year, his biggest surprise is our Operation Football Live player of the week, Denzel Gunby.
A year ago Gunby broke his leg in week two and missed the year. Fast forward 12 months and here Gunby is leading the red devils to an undefeated record. Against Aquinas on Friday, he had his best game to date. 261 yards passing and three long scores, 97 yards rushing and another touchdown. Coach Campbell calls him the catalyst to the team and never really saw him playing this much of a role when the season started.
"He's so much of a surprise on how he's come along and not only as a passer but a rusher." said coach Larry Campbell "I never saw him as being a hundred yard rusher or throwing for 300 yards. Knew he was a great kid, knew he was a good athlete but it's been a phenomenal year for him."
"We really needed that game, we had to win out to win this region and so it was very important for me to come out and play big and I felt I played alright." added Denzel Gunby
He played better then alright! Gunby could have had over 300 yards passing in teh first half but another TD pass was dropped. For his efforts, we honor Denzel Gunby of Lincoln County as our player of the week

I am trying to understand how the Thumbnail cache works. Do PS3 Media Server rely on the scan that I do in Windows Media Player to access thumbnails. Not sure how I get my thumbnails to reside in cache for PMS uses it. I have checked "Enable Cache", "Image Thumbnails", "Use Mplayer for video thumbnails", and "Generate thumbnails". Should all of these be checked? What is Mplayer?
I have reset the cache and restarted. When I go to my pictures directory (which has over 100 directories) and I drill down to a director that has 80 pictures in it, I have to wait for PMS to draw each and evey thumbnail. Not sure why it doesn't use what is in the cache instead of going thru this every time. I'm sure I have a setting wrong. Once I clear the cache do I have to go to my PS3 and individually open up each and every directory on my PS3 so it rebuilds the cache?
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!!

Clean Water
Right now as I type the smell of my husbands left over lunch is drifting into the living room.
It's tuna fish. BARF!
Guess what though?
I have clean water with a wave of my hand to clean it up!
I have clean water to shower off the smell, cause it may come down to that.
I have enough clean water to drink, hydrate my children
and not worry about anyone getting sick or even dying!
Not everyone has that luxury.
You might think water isn't a luxury.
But that's because you've never had to walk for
miles while leaving your children just for a little bit of dirty water.
Some of my friends have HUGE hearts.
Hearts for families just like ours without clean water.
Hearts to change the world!
I am jumping on board to help them build a well.
They have already built 3 wells in the past two years!
This year they want to build more :)
Here is how you can help...
Click onto the Project 320 page.
Donate as much as you are able.
For every $10 you donate you are entered into my giveaway.
So if you donate $20 you need to leave 2 comments to be entered twice...
This giveaway will include a stitched wall hanging.
and a $10 giftcard to Starbucks!
A TEN DOLLAR donation gives one person clean water for TEN YEARS!!!!
Be part of something amazing this Christmas!

Humanly speaking, Camillus was not a likely candidate for sainthood. His mother died when he was a child, his father neglected him, and he grew up with an excesive love for gambling. At 17 he was afflicted with a disease of his leg that remained with him for life. In Rome, he entered the San Giacomo Hospital for Incurables as both patient and servant, but was dismissed for quarrelsomeness after nine months. He served in the Venetian army for three years. Then in the winter of 1574, when he was 24, he gambled away everything he had–savings, weapons, literally down to his shirt. He accepted work at the Capuchin friary at Manfredonia, and was one day so moved by a sermon of the superior that he began a conversion that changed his whole life. He entered the Capuchin movitiate, but was dismissed because of the apparently incurable sore on his leg. After another stint of service at San Giacomo, he came back to the Capuchins, only to be dismissed again, for the same reason.
Again, back at San Giacomo, his dedication was rewarded by his being made superintendent. He devoted the rest of his life to the care of the sick, and has been named, along with St. John of God, patron of hospitals, nurses and the sick. With the advice of his friend St. Philip Neri, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the age of 34. Contrary to the advice of his friend, he left San Giacomo and founded a congregation of his own. As superior, he devoted much of his own time to the care of the sick.
Charity was his first concern, but the physical aspects of the hospital also received his diligent attention. He insisted on cleanliness and the technical competence of those who served the sick. The members of his community bound themselves to serve prisoners and persons infected by the plague as well as those dying in private homes. Some of his men were with troops fighting in Hungary and Croatia in 1595, forming the first recorded military field ambulance. In Naples, he and his men went onto the galleys that had plague and were not allowed to land. He discovered that there were people being buried alive, and ordered his brothers to continue the prayers for the dying 15 minutes after apparent death.
He himself suffered the disease of his leg through his life. In his last illness he left his own bed to see if other patients in the hospital needed help.
A doctor in Philadelphia is a modern-day Camillus. An AP news story reports that the 31-year-old bachelor does not have an office, and gave up a lucrative health center job to treat the chronically ill in the inner city who cannot get to a clinic. He limits his practice to house calls in that inner city neighborhood.

Man dead after disturbance at Boiling Springs intersection
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 8:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 8:46 p.m.
Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies say a man has died after a disturbance at the intersection of Mountainview and Peachtree roads.
Photo Galleries
Authorities responded to the area about 8:15 p.m. Master Deputy Kevin Bobo said it appears the disturbance involved a father and son, and the father has died.
Bobo said the man was beaten but was conscious when someone called 911 and when the first officers arrived, but died a short time after the incident. He was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center but Bobo was not sure if he died on the way to the hospital or after he arrived there.
Deputies have set up a perimeter around the area to search for the son, who fled on foot, Bobo said. K-9 units are in the area to search for the suspect and several roads are blocked off for the search.
Crime scene tape cordoned off the intersection of Mountainview and Peachtree, and activity appeared to center around a car at the intersection. Bobo said the father and son were traveling in a vehicle together before the altercation.
The father and son's names have not been released. Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said his office is also at the scene investigating, and identification of the victim was pending notification of his family.

Roger advance
Roger came through his first round match of the Basel Open tonight 7-5, 6-3 after a tough first set against Benjamin Becker from Germany.
Roger had a sluggish start against Benjamin Becker in his first round match of the Basel Open tonight before completing a sparkling second set to win 7-5, 6-3 in a time of 1hr.28mins. Becker's serve is a potent weapon when on song and he kept Roger at arms length saving a string of set points – including a set point in the 12th game. Roger kept coming forward though and at the 8th time of asking he broke through. Becker refused to wilt and shocked the crowd when breaking Roger in the 5th game of the second set but our champ gave an immediate response with a break of his own to love. Two games later he broke for the second time to fashion his victory.
Roger is bidding for his 6th win in 5 years – he last lost to Novak Djokovic in 2009. Roger will play either Thomas Bellucci (Brazil) or Go Soeda (Japan) in the next round.

Septic arthritis is a serious infection of the joints caused by bacteria. This infection causes the joint to be filled with pus cells. These pus cells release substances directed against the bacteria. However, this action can damage the joint structures, bone, and surrounding cartilage.
Septic arthritis develops when bacteria spreads from the source of infection through the bloodstream to a joint. It can result from:
Septic arthritis can also be caused from injury or trauma. It can result from:
Septic arthritis can strike at any age. However, it occurs most often in children aged 3 and younger. In infants, the hip is a frequent site of infection. In toddlers, it is the shoulders, knees, and hips.
Septic arthritis rarely occurs from early childhood through adolescence. After that, it occurs more often. In adults, it most commonly affects weight-bearing joints, such as the knees.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Factors that may increase your chance of developing septic arthritis include:
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about you or your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist.
Bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Antibiotic therapy is started as soon as a diagnosis is made. In the beginning, antibiotics are given by IV. This is to ensure that the infected joint receives medication to kill the bacteria. The specific medications used depend on the type of bacteria that is causing the infection. The remaining course of antibiotics may be given by mouth.
Fluid may be removed from the joint to reduce the likelihood of joint damage. This may be done either by placing a needle in the joint or through surgery.
Rest, preventing the joint from moving, and warm compresses may be used to manage pain. Physical therapy or exercises may also speed recovery.
To help reduce your chance of getting septic arthritis, get prompt treatment of infections that could lead to septic arthritis.
