'Subway Guy' Visits Lindenwood
April 13, 2006
By MELISSA COSSARINI "The Subway Guy" who lost 245 pounds over the course of one year talked with Lindenwood University students about weight loss and healthy living during a campus visit earlier this year.
During his college years at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., Jared Fogle topped the scale at 425 pounds. He suffered from high blood pressure, sleep apnea and edema.
"Life was not fun back then," Fogle told a packed crowd of students in the Anheuser-Busch Leadership Room in the Spellmann Center.
Fogle's daily consumption of 10,000 calories and endless hours playing Nintendo had caught up with him. When he finally admitted to having a problem, he decided to do something about it. His first course of action against obesity was to visit a specialist, who weighed Fogle.
"I thought maybe I weighed 325 pounds," said Fogle. To his amazement, the scale read 425 pounds. "That really opened my eyes."
In March 1998, Fogle walked into a Subway restaurant, picked up a brochure and began counting calories. He ate a six-inch turkey sub with no mayo, cheese or oil and baked chips for lunch. Dinner consisted of a 12-inch veggie sub with diet soda. He followed this menu every day for a year.
"The diet fit my lifestyle and actually tasted good," said Fogle.
In the first three months, Fogle lost 94 pounds. Eager to lose more weight, he started walking 30 minutes a day.
In March 1999, at 190 pounds, Fogle's friend Ryan published an article in their college newspaper about the Subway diet. Because of that article, magazines and media around the country wanted to interview Fogle. In January 2000, Fogle's first Subway commercial aired nationally. He later appeared on Oprah and Larry King Live.
Six years later, Fogle has visited all 50 states and several countries, meeting with young kids and adults to tell his story and just how important it is to eat healthy. He travels 200 days a year and stars in five to seven commercials a year.
"It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it," said Fogle. "I just feel very fortunate. Hopefully people can relate to my story."
Nowadays Fogle eats Subway sandwiches only two or three times a week. The sweet onion chicken teriyaki sandwich is his current favorite.
After his presentation, Fogle was surrounded by Lindenwood students, many of whom asked more questions and wanted to be photographed with "The Subway Guy."

Fifty new officers graduated from training in Jenkins County Thursday and many of them are just thankful to have jobs. (WRDW-TV / Feb. 2, 2012)
News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012
MILLEN, Ga. -- Jobs are scarce in Jenkins County, Ga., but thanks to a new prison set to open next month, many people in the area are getting a fresh start.
Fifty new officers graduated from training Thursday and many of them are just thankful to have jobs.
"I'm thankful, so thankful for this job and our community here in Jenkins County is so proud to have C.C.A. here," said Officer Tonia Davis of Millen.
Many of these new officers are just thrilled to be going back to work.
"I was laid off two years ago and when I got the opportunity, I've never done work like this, but I told them I'd give them 110 percent," Davis said.
Officer Sheena Oliver of nearby Sylvania had been out of work for six months.
"I'm just grateful for the opportunity that's been given to me," she said.
The prison is hiring 200 positions. So far 4,000 have applied.
"It says there's a lot of folks unemployed out there that are still looking for work," said Warden Ralph Kemp. "A lot of good people have applied and it's just unfortunate that we don't have more positions than we do."
Jenkins County has the third highest unemployment rate in Georgia. In December, 17 percent of residents were without jobs. It's nearly double the state average of 9.4 percent.
"A lot of people are out of work. We need more businesses here. We need more jobs for our people," Davis said.
But there is hope. The prison has plans to expand in the future and could be an economic driver many in the town have been looking for.
"Since the first day that we started we've had a tremendous amount of support from the community," explained Officer David Pierce from Statesboro.
The community is behind them, and so is the room packed full of family, friends and Jenkins County leaders.
"Thanks you God ... we made it!" Davis exclaimed.
The speakers from the Department of Corrections said the crowd was one of their biggest ever for an officer graduation. The new officers go to work on Monday.
With prisons all over the state overcrowding, the prison has a few acres ready for when it is time to grow in the years to come.
News 12 got one of the first tours of the new Jenkins Correctional Center, which is set to open next month. There will be room for more than 1,100 inmates. Corrections Corporations of America is the company behind the new facility.
They own, or operate, five facilities in Georgia, opening the first two locations back in 1998. They have prisons in 19 states and offer rehabilitation and educational programs to help inmates transition back into civilian life.
"It will be minimum and medium security Georgia male inmates, there will be a number if sex offenders, of course, that's normal that's the way it is across the state. It will be a group of inmates that for the most part aren't problematic," Kemp said.
The prison will have a ribbon cutting March 7 and start bringing in about 50 inmates at a time March 13.

Gray Rollin sits on the front patio of Santa Rosa's Belly Left Coast Kitchen and Tap Room, where he's the executive chef and part owner. He greets lunch customers and chats with friends and every now and then, glances up at the TV over the bar, where talking heads yap on an ESPN show.
"I cooked for that guy," he says, casually nodding toward sportscaster Tony Kornheiser. "He can't have garlic and onions. No salt."
Good to know.
It isn't the last time Rollin pulls that TV trick today. Not that the 38-year-old former San Ramon and Los Gatos resident is bragging. It just happens that he cooks for a lot of famous people -- mostly rock stars.
"Touring is my bread and butter," he says.
Rollin just got back from Los Angeles, where he put together his mobile kitchen for an upcoming tour with Linkin Park, a regular gig. Over the past five years, he's toured with, cooked for or did both for Motley Crue, KISS, Prince, Justin Timberlake ("coolest guy ever," he says), the Black Eyed Peas, Sarah McLachlan, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Blink-182, Metallica, Godsmack, Buckcherry and Tori Amos, among others. This summer, he'll also cook for Oscar-winner Jared Leto and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, which will open for Linkin Park.
"Prince is a vegan," he says. "Thirty minutes before his arrival, the buffet goes vegan. He doesn't want the smell of meat lingering." One of the perks of the job is seeing an artist's personality in ways fans just can't. "While he's playing, Prince says he wants all these stage lights (turned) purple. Where do you get purple lights at 1:30 in the morning?"
Rollin -- whose look and sense of style could get him mistaken for an extra member of Linkin Park -- grew up in San Ramon before moving to Los Gatos with his newly widowed father Grant Rollin, the former financial officer for the San Jose Sharks. He got the cooking bug in his early teens in San Ramon. "My mom was a horrible cook," he says, with a laugh. "I got tired of that. I'm good with my hands."
Rollin applied his skills in the kitchen, where he not only cooked for his family (including twin brother Garth), but his friends as well.
"I'd ride my bike to his house and he'd make us breakfast, then we'd ride to school," says Aaron Silverman, Rollin's longtime friend and manager, whose goal is to make Rollin "the next Guy Fieri" (Fieri is a friend of Rollin and owns a restaurant not far away). "He loved cooking for his buddies."
So Rollin's dad sent his teenage son to learn the ropes in the restaurants of East Coast family members for three summers. He went to Chico State, cooked in a few local places, and attended the California Culinary Institute. After some jobs in California and Hawaii, a friend hooked him up with someone who arranges tour chefs for musical acts. It wasn't long before Rollin -- whose first concert was a KISS show he attended with Silverman -- was cooking for the people he used to pay to see.
"Chef Gray's creations are far greater than the sum of their parts -- they are quintessential in maintaining the stable energy required by a performing artist," says Jim Digby, Linkin Park's production manager, who has also worked with Backstreet Boys and Stone Temple Pilots. "A well-fed artist is a happy artist, and chef Gray keeps Linkin Park happy."
Touring has taken Rollin to 50 countries, and he has the stories to prove it -- of shopping in an outdoor market in Malaysia with armed guards and in a bulletproof SUV in Mexico, after Linkin Park received death threats; of cooking in a 1,600-year-old house in Denmark; of hitting 120 mph in a convertible on Germany's autobahn, a maneuver that caused his groceries to fly away. His duties range from cooking individual meals for band members and putting their beverage of choice on stage right before they go on, to handing out backstage passes to attractive women -- on orders from Motley Crue's Tommy Lee.
"In some places, I'm the first one on stage, in front of 80,000 people," Rollin says. "And the crowd goes crazy. Every single time, the reaction literally pushes me back."
Rollin spends so much time on the road, he doesn't have much of a permanent residence. He has his own room at Silverman's Danville home, plus he also occasionally crashes at a co-worker's house in Petaluma. He isn't married, doesn't have kids (that he knows of -- after all, he does tour with rock stars) and isn't planning on settling down.
"At least until something else comes along," he says. His smile says that "something" doesn't need to happen anytime soon. At least not until he's the next Guy Fieri.

Captain's Report by Dan Armitage
The Mission
The 3100 Coronet is a high-end day boat built for an owner who seeks a quality yacht capable of handling offshore conditions -- and stay dry -- with cruiser-class aplomb. Further, by making the beam 12'6" (3.81 m) it has a lot more room inside than much bigger day boats costing much or more -- 10 people can sit in the cockpit and another five people can sit on the bridge deck. This is a boat for a big party, both under way and at anchor.
Even though she is built with state-of-the-art techniques and high-quality materials Tiara is able to offer it for less money than some blue ribbon names we can think of. The Slikkers have remembered the "3 Ps" -- Performance, Packaging, and Price.
The radar arch is low and attractive and makes a good place to hang a canvas top if wanted. There are two canvas soft top options. Notice how the cockpit is protected from stray by the wide beam, bow flare and the side widows.
The helm console has conventional controls for the standard twin 375-hp Crusader gas engines. We like the optional "Flag Blue" console molding which is easy on the eyes and will reflect less glare in the windscreen. "Carbon" is standard. The teak wheel is optional.
The Coronet's helm console is designed to allow the operator to stand or sit when the boat is underway, the latter position made available by the boat's level attitude when running. The helm position features a double-wide, adjustable seat behind a tilt wheel, surrounded on three sides by large, unobstructed window areas for an open view all around. Tiara uses the same composite for the windshield frame on the Coronet that it does on its larger-sized yachts.
The floor layout of the 3100 Coronet.
The L-shaped companion settee is set at the same height as the helm so that guests and operator are at the same eye level to facilitate conversation and sea the action outside the boat. Note that there is the option of going through the windshield to the foredeck. Molded in steps cannot be seen in this photo. The sidedecks are adequately wide for traversing forward as well
From the companionway to the swim platform the Coronet's sole is the same level, something that new guests will appreciate.
The cockpit offers roomy seating for 10, all at the same level, taking full advantage of the boat's 12'6" beam. Note the padded bolster atop the transom door, the teak-tread boarding steps integrated to port and starboard and the standard synthetic Sisal Seagrass carpeting.
A transom door leads to a 40-inch-wide integrated swim platform with teak inserts and a three-step ladder nested into a center compartment with integrated hand-holds built into the cover.
Cabin Highlights
The 3100 sleeps two below in a cabin with a queen-sized bed. The classy and traditional teak and holly sole is optional, but a solid teak sole comes standard.
The bed hides a huge bulk storage area with twin gas-assisted lifts. We think all boats should equipped like this to maximize this valuable space in the bow.
A hanging locker contains the Coronet's breaker panel and cabin stereo controls.
The wet head is decent-sized for a day cruiser. Note the track on the overhead so the shower curtain (left) can be drawn around to minimize the mess. Guests wanting privacy when showering will appreciate both the wet head and the curtain.
The minimal galley offers good headroom, counter and storage space. The microwave and the optional refer drawer are at right.
Amenity Highlights
One of two flat-screen television options available on the Coronet, the other offered bedside in the cabin.
Aft of the helm seat is a drawer-style refrigerator beneath a food prep area with integrated sink and electric grill. Everything you need for a picnic is right in this console.
The Coronet's engine compartment is readily accessible in its location beneath the cockpit sole. The engine room is specially insulated to dampen engine sound for quiet cruising topside.
The Coronet's new hardtop option for 2012 provides permanent overhead protection yet features a retractable sunroof that opens a full one third of the canopy. Best of all, the new hardtop blends harmoniously with the graceful curves on this yacht.
With a new hardtop option to extend the Coronet's comfort range in 2012, discriminating day cruisers have yet another good reason to entertain a long, hard look at the new 3100 from Tiara. Speaking of entertaining, the options available for enhancing that use are impressive; however, the standard Coronet, priced at $272,000, has plenty to offer those who value quality and style in a boat built for fun.
Note the graceful, sweeping curve to the windshield, the rounded stern quarters and the reverse transom. There is lots of utility and beauty in the Cornet 3100 in our opinion.

It wasn't until Andrew Zolintakis' pass on fourth-and-13 floated high over his receiver's head and bounced harmlessly on the sideline that the magic was, at long last, finally extinguished for the 2012 Campolindo High football team.
Right up until that moment, with 1:49 left on the game clock, it seemed possible -- probable, even -- that the host Cougars would somehow find a way to overcome a seemingly endless string of big-play knockout punches from Analy-Sebastopol.
In the end, the Tigers made too many huge plays on offense and just enough plays on defense to hold off the Cougars 38-34 in the second round of the North Coast Section Division III playoffs Friday.
No. 5 seeded Analy (12-0) advances to face the winner of Saturday's game between No. 1 El Cerrito (11-0) and No. 9 Bishop O'Dowd (7-4) in next week's semifinal.
"They've got big playmakers," Campolindo coach Kevin Macy said of the quick-striking Tigers. "When they need to, they can just put it up to a big playmaker. We don't have that option."
It seemed for all the world as though Darrin Newman's 80-yard dagger to big playmaker No. 1, Aaron Maher, which put Analy up 38-28 with 6:27 to play, would toll the death-knell for the No. 4 Cougars (10-2). But Zolintakis marched them 65 yards in 58 seconds and five plays to draw within four points on a 31-yard strike to Hunter Rosenbaum. The ensuing PAT was blocked, but Analy went three-and-out to give Campolindo one final shot.
Newman arced a 57-yard bomb to Maher on Analy's first play from scrimmage to set up Kyle Lewis' 3-yard scoring plunge. Maher was virtually undefendable, catching eight balls for 217 yards and two scores.
Zolintakis, who took over at quarterback after starter Brett Stephens went out with a season-ending injury, completed 22 of 35 passes for 368 yards with an interception and four touchdown passes. His favorite target, Phillip Rei, caught six balls for 131 yards and two scores.
Newman went 22-for-38 for 347 yards, three touchdowns and one pick.
Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa 40, Encinal 14: The Jets committed three first-half turnovers, which led to 20 points for the Cardinals in the Division III quarterfinals.
The Cardinals (11-1) will play the winner of Saturday's game between Marin Catholic and Miramonte next week.
The No. 3 Cardinals didn't waste time jumping on the Jets, as Phillip Wright returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. Wright found the end zone again later in the quarter with a 3-yard run as the Cardinals took a 14-0 lead.
The Cardinals then scored 26 points in the second quarter, as Jacob Webb scored on a 50-yard pass play from Keaton Dunsford before Kenny Carter added an 18-yard TD run after a Jets fumble.
Dunsford connected with Webb on another scoring pass, this time from 13 yards after Chris Steele picked off Jets quarterback Taivale Tautalatasi as the Cardinals took a 40-0 halftime lead.
Encinal (7-6) got on the board in the third quarter when Tyrell Carrigan opened the half with a 43-yard run before finishing the drive with a 20-yard scamper to the end zone. Tautalatasi added a 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
-- Tony Gonsalez, correspondent
Justin-Siena-Napa 48, St. Mary's 14: The host Braves (9-2) scored 28 points in the second half to pull away from the No. 9 Panthers and advance to the NCS Division IV semifinals.
St. Mary's (6-6) got on the board with 11:05 left in the first half. Quarterback Kevin Flemer found Caleb Coleman open for a 9-yard touchdown to cut the Braves' lead to 12-7. But Justin-Siena drove 70 yards on eight plays on its next possession, capped by a 15-yard touchdown run by Austin Connolly.

There is a shit ton of waiters and waitresses that straight up suck and when you suck at your job you don't deserve a nickel more than is listed on the final bill.
if you get paid $2.13 that's your fuckin problem, take it up with management or go get another job, the people that showed up to the restaurant aren't there to pay your wage.
Mark in Minnesota wrote: I'm interested in hearing what people think about tipping with cash versus credit cards. For a long time I had heard that cash tips are the way to go because they aren't taxed unless the server claims them, where credit card tips are taken out automatically. So I would pay by credit card but tip in cash, even on things like delivery orders.
However I learned in the last year or so that some restaurants use claimed tip percentage to rank their servers, and that in these places, servers with higher claimed tip percentages are given more tables, more shifts, better shifts, etc. I also recently even heard that in some restaurants servers claim more cash tips than they actually received, figuring the extra taxes they pay on those tips are worth it for the higher income they will receive later on as a result of getting more shifts and more tables per shift. Plus in some bar situations with multiple bartenders on duty, bartenders are supposed to pool and split their tips; in these cases a large cash tip can be a temptation to one bartender to pocket something instead of sharing with the others. Same thing at restaurants like Fogo de Chao where the whole staff restaurant-wide apparently pool their tips and as a result you don't have one primary server per table.
So, at certain restaurants that I've been told are run this way, I've mostly stopped doing cash tips in favor of credit card tips, figuring it's the best way to be sure I'm being fair to everyone involved. But when I'm at new places I'm not really comfortable asking those kinds of questions. How prevalent are those kinds of practices?
Mark in Minnesota wrote: So, I'm at the bar right now. My work cellphone rang and it was a co-worker/fellow barfly. I saw who was calling, showed the phone to my bartender, and asked if she wanted to answer it. She said yes, had a brief conversation with my co-worker, and then asked if he still wanted to talk to me. He said no, and joined me at the bar later, without talking to me in the interim.
Were tips a piece of that? Probably.

To summarize, Im happy tipping people, but i want the person to take the money for themself. Which is the conundrum here in Aus. Next time i actually go to a restaurant i must formulate a proper tipping strategy.

From there, you would login, tell tmdb to allow access and then the user name would appear in the tmdb account name section of the media library. In the end, it looks like info was still begin pulled from tmdb. At least tmdb specific info appears to be in the database now.
Nothing has changed in there, but I've noticed the login being frequently down on the tmdb side. It shouldn't be a big issue, as I'd be surprised you've used the only feature using the configured account. If a a tmdb account has been set, a folder to rate movies on tmdb can be added when showing a file as a folder.
killa339 wrote:2. When imdb/tmdb info was being pulled for my movies, I noticed this error consistently coming up:
Every revenue db entry is 0.
- Code: Select all
The plugin='tmdb' returned a value of the wrong type for the FileProperty='VIDEO_REVENUE'. Expected='class java.lang.Integer', Received='class java.lang.Long'
Had missed this one, going to fix it.
killa339 wrote:Another thing I just noticed. It seems that files with periods are not rendered properly on my tv anymore. It's not the first period that messes it up though. For example:
File name: 'Louis C.K. - Chewed Up (2008)' shows up as 'Louis C.K' on my tv. Everything after the second period is lost.
File name: 'G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra' shows up as 'G.I' on my tv. Everything after the second period is lost.
The full name is showing up in the library and tree views. This all worked fine with 0.6
More info on the above. If I make a folder that is A-Z or by Genre then it cuts off like in the way I mention above. These folders are set to 'display as file'. If I make a folder that is 'display as folder' then the folder on my tv has the full name but when I go inside, the file to play the video has the name cut off like I discuss above. Both have %name as the mask.
Uncheck 'hide extensions' in the navigation/share settings tab. This feature removes everything after the last dot in the file name. This tab should vanish at some point (https://github.com/taconaut/pms-mlx/issues/26).
killa339 wrote:Another bug: I have a directory initially set to 'display as file' and set thumbnails to be cover. I then chose to display as folder. In the gui, I right clicked the initial green folder, chose edit and then chose to display a picture as the thumbnail.
When I view this on my tv, I see a folder with cover icons rendered inside the folder icon, rather than the picture I chose. If I go back in, change back to 'display as file', choose the pic I wanted (removing the cover option that was there), change back to 'view as folder' then it displays properly. I guess the 'display as file' options are overriding the initial folder thumbnail setting under 'display as folder'?
I'll have to first understand the bug and then see what's going wrong..
[edit] after some coffe, it starts to make sense; your Bravia can show thumbnails for folders! None of my renderers can and folder thumbnails aren't being set by pms-mlx. I'm surprised it is configurable where you said. Pms supports folder thumbnails and it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to add it. What thumbnail do other folders show?
Thanks for the feedback!

November 29, 2006
Richmond County is ranked worst in the state for the number of cats and dogs it's forced to euthanize.
By the end of this year, the total will likely reach 12,000.
That's a lot more than last year's total...and the problem is clawing away at the county's resources.
Animal control is understaffed with a limited budget. Yet they still have to take in thousands of animals.
The truth is, they're making up for thousands of irresponsible pet owners.
Getting animals off the street is often just the first step.
Animal control is left with no choice but to end the lives of unwanted animals.
It's what they describe as a pet population crisis.
"I mean, it's outrageous," animal caretaker Megan Griffin told News 12.
"It's horrible," said Animal Control Director Randy Teasley.
Director Randy Teasley showed us this wing they all call death row, where sick, abandoned animals wait in cages for lethal injections.
By the end of the year, nearly 12,000 cats and dogs will have been euthanized.
That's an average of one animal an hour, or 32 a day.
And to put that into perspective, that's 3,000 more animals than even the James Brown Arena could seat.
"So that says to me we're basically horrible pet owners here in Richmond County," Teasley said.
After four years with Animal Control, Teasley is fed up.
"I could imagine if anyone's been hungry, then magnify that by a hundred, or, you know, get hit by a car," Griffin said, describing the state of the animals.
And ask any one of the ten staffers who administer injections. It doesn't get any easier...especially knowing it can be avoided.
"It's just more convenient, rather than to spay and neuter their animal, just to dump the animal and their puppies and kittens here," Teasley said.
Teasley also says adopting out is competitive, with more than ten rescue groups in Augusta providing that exact same service.
It's why he's pleading with pet owners.
"If people were to obey the laws we have on the books now, the local and state laws, we would probably have half the problems that we have," he said.
The numbers are hard to believe.
Richmond County's population is three to four times less than these other counties, but we are among those leading the state in euthanasia.
Euthanasia by County
RICHMOND COUNTY - Population 195,000
9,455 Animals Euthanized
COBB COUNTY - Population 608,000
6,900 Animals Euthanized
DEKALB COUNTY - Population 666,000
9,000 Animals Euthanized
FULTON COUNTY - Population 816,000
11,000 Animals Euthanized
Animal Control does go into schools to education children about proper pet care...but they're often forced to take adults to court. In fact, they have a 95 percent conviction rate.
So how much of a difference would it have made if more people spayed and neutered their animals?
We used the Animal Rescue League's formula and figured out that if only 800 cats and 750 dogs had been fixed last year, 12,000 unwanted animals would not have ended up euthanized at Animal Control.
And the Animal Rescue League also says that if left alone without spaying and neutering, 2 dogs can produce 4,372 dogs in 7 years, and 2 cats can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years.

VAIL - After the World Cup, it's the higest level of ski racing competition in North America.-
The-International Ski Federation (FIS)-North America Cup (Nor-Am) visits Golden Peak this weekend, bringing with it national teams from four different continents.-
Racers from the national teams of Canada, Argentina, Great Britain, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, New Zealand and the U.S. kicked off the action Thursday in a men's giant slalom, where they were greeted with dumping snow and low visibility. Despite the race's timing - taking place during the tail end of a storm that would leave roughly 2 feet on Vail Mountain before letting up Thursday afternoon - both runs went off without a hitch and ran perfectly on time.-
"It was soft for sure, but the course workers did a good job of getting it smooth,"-Kieffer Christianson of the U.S. Ski Team said after his first run.-"In terms of race organization, Vail always makes sure things go off smoothly, so it's a great place to race."
Leading the field after his first run, Christianson hung on in the second run to ski away with the win, his first time atop the podium in a major event since 2009, when he won a National Junior Race slalom in Stratton, Vt.
"First time I've won a big-boy race," he said with a laugh. "Or at least a medium-boy race."
He said the conditions didn't bother him.
"I grew up in Alaska so I'm used to skiing bad weather all the time, I actually kind of like it," he said after the win. "I feel like it gives me a leg up before I even start racing, more confidence."
Christianson said the early-season training the U.S. team runs at Golden Peak also gave him an advantage.-
"Over the last few years we've spent quite a bit of time at Vail, so we know the hill pretty well," he said. "They always do a good job preparing the hill so it's fun to race here."
Second-place finisher Nikolai Tornoe Narvestad of Norway said the weather may have helped him, as well.
"It was super bumpy," he said. "But I'm just so happy I could stay focused."
Last year's winner, Ski and Snowboard Club Vail alumni Will Gregorak, couldn't find the same success on the course again this year. He cited his skis as a potential issue - at the Nor-Am level racers are still allowed to use a shorter-radius ski, which performs better in softer snow, as opposed to the World Cup.-
"It was my first time back on these old skis again this year, and on the soft course I just putted my way down," he said. "I was really comfortable on this hill but ... Maybe I'll put something better together tomorrow."
Another Ski and Snowboard Club racer, Seppi Stiegler, put two solid runs together to just miss the podium by a hundredth of a second.-
"I've had a lot of days on the hill here, but unfortunately the snow is nothing like what we've been training," he said after the race. "We've been here training since November, and we have a lot of great people here who support us which really helps."
Upon winning, Christianson was greeted with handshakes and congratulations from Stiegler and the other North American competitors, Canadians included. The high level of sportsmanship is one of the things Christianson likes about competing on the Nor-Am circuit, he said.-
"In North America we compete against each other, but when we go across the pond to Europe where the big-time racing is, we're all friends," he said. -
The FIS Nor-Am Cup continues at Golden Peak all weekend and into next week -- men's GS action takes place once again today, with men's and women's slalom races on Saturday and Sunday, and finally women's GS on Monday and Tuesday.

Sunday afternoon marked the end of the eighth annual Breckenridge 100 Mountain Bike Challenge, as winner Michael Weiss made his way to the finish line.
Weiss finished up first and rode through the finish line at Carter Park with a flat tire. He had been riding the last five miles of the race with a flat, after repairing two more along the entire course.
The hardest part for Weiss was the terrain and riding over bridges after a small amount of rain, making them slick, but he managed to overcome the obstacles and come out on top.
Cameron Chambers, the first-place singlespeed winner and third-place overall rider, had a good race without major mechanical problems. Although this was his first time competing in the Breck 100, Chambers said this course was the hardest 100-mile race he has done, not just in Colorado, but ever.
Chambers also applauded the Rocky Mountain Endurance team, who hosts the race, for its well-supported and marked trail, deeming it the most well-supported he has ever done.
Kalan Beisel, a season passholder in the Colorado Marathon Series, was a favorite to make it to the podium, but pulled out during the race after a flat tire. Zeke Hersh - who owns Blue River Anglers in Frisco - finished up in seventh-place overall, beating his 2011 time by 25 minutes.
Hersh described the course as "phenomenal" and "butter," stating this year's trail conditions were better than last year's.
The Breck 100 race began early Sunday morning and took nearly 500 racers across town to Beaver Run where they began their ascent up Wheeler Pass. The course climbs more than 13,000 feet during its 100 miles.
The race is the fourth stop in the Colorado Rocky Mountain Endurance Series, and the fifth stop in the NUE National Series. This high-altitude race through the Rockies - which is arguably the toughest course in the national series - offers valuable points for the overall series title.

Whitmire receives committee appointments
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 3:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 3:55 p.m.
N.C. Rep. Chris Whitmire, District 113, has been appointed to the following committees: Commerce and Job Development; Agriculture; Public Utilities; Regulatory Reform; Education; Appropriations; and Appropriations Subcommittee on Education, vice chairman.
"These were all my primary choices and will directly impact the greatest challenges facing Transylvania, Henderson and Polk counties," Whitmire said Wednesday in an email.
Whitmire's swearing-in will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at the Transylvania County Courthouse in the large courtroom with Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby administering the oath of office.
"During 2013, my colleagues and I in the North Carolina General Assembly will endeavor to return North Carolina to prosperity by transforming our great state into a place that rewards hard work and is the location of choice for job providers with tax and regulatory reform measures," Whitmire said in the email. "This will not be a quick fix, but rest assured we will be making major corrections to get our state back on track."
Whitmire also announced that Janet Crain will serve as a legislative assistant.
"Janet knows our area and is an excellent communicator," Whitmire said. "We are fortunate to have a local resident familiar with our needs and local values serving in this capacity."

Robert Kee: `Ireland A Television History`: Episode 1 `A Nation Once Again`
January 23, 2013
Nora Connolly
And Ireland, long a province be
This song was written by Thomas Davis, one of the founders in 1842 of the nationalist periodical, `The Nation` and appeared in his paper alongside similar verse described by Robert Kee in `The Green Flag` as "trite but often of stirring quality". In this programme he explains the song served as the unofficial national anthem of Ireland. While pointing out the melody depicts an unrealistic version of nationhood which is also inconsistent with what the nation of Ireland had been and what it became. Further, how he asks could Ireland become `A Nation Once Again`, when a significant minority oppose the very idea?
Commentators seeking to analyse Irish Nationalism dispassionately, such as Robert Kee, can find themselves subject to criticism based on the unfounded notion that they are taking sides – a problem familiar to all historians. But the issue is more potent when it concerns Irish History/Nationalism. The resurgence of interest in Robert Kee following his death has lead to a rise in viewers to his television history on Youtube. Some of the comments give a flavour of the problem, as Kee is criticised on the one hand for producing an overly sympathetic portrayal of the Irish, while on the other hand criticised for being hostile to the Irish. Both assertions are ridiculous, the programme rightly received wide-spread acclaim when broadcast. Kee`s `The Green Flag` contains an inscription, from AG Richey,"to appreciate the history of this or any other country it is necessary to sympathise with all of the parties". Kee`s television history achieves this but his sympathy does not inhibit him from looking at Irish nationalism with a critical analytical eye. His inquisitorial approach allows for a balanced appraisal, while outlining the adversarial history of this most distressful country and the part played by Britain. Read more of this post

Indeed, the OP said it was so with TVersity, but I don't see how that would fit in the DLNA spec.
However, one could imagine that the video thumbnail could be overlaid with a "progress bar" showing how much of a video has already been streamed. Probably non-trivial work for a very small improvement, but nothing impossible...
Just my 2 cents

'Glee' Recap: Confession Is Good For the Soul Music
The tagline for this week's episode was: "It's a week of confessions as the gleeks come clean about their deepest (if not darkest) "guilty pleasures." With no leadership (Finn is gone–literally, he's not in the episode, and Will is sick), Blaine and Sam take over New Directions for a week.
Blaine tries to give Sam $50 because he saw Sam taking food from the cafeteria to (possibly) feed his family. Sam asks Blaine to keep a secret — he's been stealing pasta for art, not food. Macaroni portraits. Emma Stone. Leanne Rimes, Ralph Macchio, Duck Dynasty. Kurt. They are really good! Sam asks Blaine to share a guilty pleasure – Blaine bursts out that he loves "Wham!" The two become closer and decide that it's a good bonding exercise for Regionals. So the group tackles their musical indulgences — songs that everyone is embarrassed to admit they love. But since this is Glee and everyone ends up loving everyone else, this is this great display of friendship and support. The first song of the week is "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham!. Cute, very neon. Very 80s.
Brittany tells Kitty that everyone hates her and that's why nobody wants to work with her. Brittany calls Kitty out: "you're really mean, you tell Marley she's really fat even though your face looks like a soccer ball." Brittany tells Kitty that blondes have magical powers and Kitty should use them for good instead of evil. So take off her joker mask and show the world who she really is — on Fondue for Two. Brittany introduces Kitty as "the world's biggest b_tch" and says she's a two-faced lying sl_t who nobody can trust" and wants to share guilty pleasures. Kitty responds: I like to fart around old people and watch the look on their faces because they assume they did it. Brittany: when I look at a white dog or cat I assume that they're racist. Lord Tubbington's guilty pressure is Scientology. Finally Kitty admits (on the safe space–the Internet)…wait, no, she won't because it's too horrible. She whispers in Brittany's ear. Response: "Oh my God." What could it be? Ha, it's not as bad as you think.
Sam wants to confide more secrets to Blaine. "Do you have feelings for me?" Blaine asks. (Ha, he's so hopeful but plays it off). Sam shouts out his secret in the boys' locker room: "I like Barry Manilow…It's like he's talking right to me!" Sam says. Blaine tells Sam to tell everyone and once he stops hiding it, he'll feel so much better.
Tina, Unique and Marley confront Kitty ask school to demand to know what her secret pleasure is. Kitty won't budge but Brittany whispers it: Spice Girls. Everyone is SO PSYCHED because they all love the Spice Girls too! Unique will be Scary Spice! (Nothing is scarier than a girl with a penis, Kitty says…Kidding!–eesh. over the line there).
In Glee Club, Sam admits his secret. "I think [Barry Manilow] is an amazing song-writer/performer and I also believe he's is under appreciated and has amazing hair and has done a lot of good for this world through his light-rock talent." There, that wasn't so hard. "This is who I am and I make no apologies," he says as he starts to sing "Copacabana." Turns out that everyone loves Barry too! And they can all admit it now because Sam paved the way.
Later on the girls are deciding on who will be which Spice Girl. Brittany tells (Mercedes) Unique that she shouldn't be Scary just because she's black. Kitty tells Marley to be Posh because she's skinny and makes everyone uncomfortable. Brittany says that Kitty will be Ginger and she'll be Sporty. Unique is Baby Spice and Tina should be Scary. (huh?). But Tina has big news! She saw Marley confront Jake about singing a Chris Brown song. (ooh! that is bad!). All the girls get super mad at Jake; but he chose his song because he likes Chris Brown and feels guilty about it. It doesn't mean he likes Chris Brown as a person or thinks he's a role model. He points out that the group does Whitney Houston and Britney Spears and none of them are role models either. Technically Rihanna isn't a role model either especially since she got back together with Chris Brown. "Are we saying that it's OK to go back to someone that abuses you?" Jake asks (And I think of Coach Beiste and how she went back to Cooter…) "No, we're not," Jake counters. "I think we should be able to celebrate the art from the artist." I understand what he's saying, but it's very hard for people to do it. As it's a democracy the girls can't tell Jake what to do, but they want him to think about it. Because, after all, Chris Brown is a powder cake.
Blaine, sitting in his Cheerios uniform–so he's still infiltrating?, is proudly reading a Goosebumps book. Ha. Sam says that Blaine has to be honest about his guilty pleasure, especially since Sam wore those tiny little Wham! shorts for the number. Sam asks Blaine to really set an example for the Glee Club. What could the guilty pleasure be? He goes to auditorium to sing "Against All Odds" (Take A Look at Me Now) by Phil Collins as the rest of the group looks on. I love Blaine solos but I wasn't in love with this song. It does get better as it goes along. And I don't understand why Phil Collins is a guilty pleasure. A lot of people like him. In fact the Glee Club gives him a standing ovation. Blaine says the song was obviously about Kurt (to Tina's disappointment) but it was also about Phil Collins and he plans to spend the rest of his life making sure that Phil isn't under appreciated. See that look Sam shot him?
Back in the classroom, it's time for a double feature! First, the Spice Girls, singing "Wannabe." They look great. I love it! The girls really nailed the looks. I'm not even sure who my favorite was. (Marley's dress was VERY tight; I loved Kitty's hair and Brittany as Sport was perfect). I also like how all week the kids aren't supervised. That's awesome. I wish I had clubs like that in high school. Quite a fun number. "I applaud your courage especially in such a Spice-phobic time," Artie says, and singles out Kitty. "I don't think I've ever seen you so…." "So what?" she asks. "Happy to be part of the team," Artie finishes.
But we're not done yet, here's Jake with his guilty pleasure. He performs a Brown song, but thankfully not Chris. He chooses Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative." The rest of the guys help out on vocals but Jake's dance moves are pretty great (No Mike Chang, but definitely fun). I always liked this song, so I think it was a good choice for the assignment. But Jake's voice doesn't sound as good as it usually does — maybe the dancing threw it off? But Bobby Brown also apparently hit Whitney…and got her addicted to drugs. So should he really be featured on Glee?
Tina is dressed as Vicki the Robot Girl from the TV show "Small Wonder." Which I have never seen. Ever. Before everyone (Tina, Marley, Kitty) can scatter, Jake apologizes to them about not knowing about Bobby's allegedly sordid past. "You know about Vicki the Robot Girl but you didn't know about Bobby and Whitney?" Kitty asks. Marley is still annoyed at Jake — I'm not sure if it's about Chris Brown or Bobby Brown, and Jake says (rightfully so) that it doesn't matter what a couple of teenagers think. Marley remains mad and Jake is worried they aren't alright. Marley admits that her guilty pleasure is anything starring Jessica Simpson. And they make up, so they are OK. Good because I don't want any more Marley/Jake drama.
Blaine is working on one more guilty pleasures song in the auditorium — before they put their guilty pleasures away. Sam says they don't have to hide their guilty pleasures…Blaine says if they indulged themselves all the time people would get uncomfortable. Sam comes out with it– he knows that Blaine has a crush on him. He's known all year. "If you weren't into me I'd probably be pretty offended," Sam ponders. Blaine is amazed that Sam isn't freaked out and doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship. Sam says nothing will change. "We're like brothers. I trust you and to tell you the truth the attention feels kind of good, it's flattering." Sam wants to hug it out. Sam, you're a good guy. (At least this wasn't like Jimmy and Thomas on Downton Abbey).
Kurt is in an acting class and he gives an internal monologue about his guilty secrets as a gay man: Obsessive marathons of Golden Girls, Moonlighting, Designing Women. Or workouts to Richard Simmons DVDs. But his biggest guilty secret: his boyfriend arm, which he ordered one night off the Internet while on Ambien (couldn't he just be feeling lonely instead of taking Ambien? I hate when Glee advertises bad habits for teenagers). He loves being held by Bruce (the arm's name). If anyone found out about Bruce "It would totally destroy me."
It's a 3-way in the bathroom and of course Santana has nothing nice to say. She's paying a third of the rent but gets no shelf space. She thinks all the products are Rachel's but they aren't, they are Kurt's (figures. Kurt's hair is always perfect). Kurt and Santana have a little back and forth while Rachel practices her voice lessons in the shower– and Santana says if Kurt plays hardball, she'll break their pact and tell Rachel about her BF and his man-whoring ways. "We had a pact," Kurt whispers. If Santana broke that pact, what would Kurt do? "Attack me with your exfoliating loofah?" Kurt says Rachel can't find out until after her Funny Girl audition because she'll be a wreck. Ah, so we learn that Brody has moved out and it's too soon for Santana to make any Brody jokes. Turns out that Brody didn't even give a reason. Santana says that Rachel doesn't need a friend like Brody, but Rachel questions Santana's "friendship", which undermines confidence. Santana says that they can play a prank on Lady Hummel for fun and to bond. They sneak into Kurt's room to do the "stick his hand in warm water so he pees himself" trick and they find Kurt snuggling up to Bruce. Aw. Well, Santana points out that it's safer than trolling Grinder. She has a point.
Kurt gives the girls their very own cuddling arms. Santana loves it but Rachel says she doesn't need anything to cuddle with — she's sure she'll get back together with Brody. Santana does NOT like the sound of that; she tells Rachel her relationship with Brody is going to stay over. Brody may not have been a drug dealer but he was selling something else. She tells Rachel the truth: Your boyfriend was a gigolo, like Magic Mike with happy endings for money. Rachel asks Kurt if he knew and if it was true. Kurt can't say anything and Rachel storms off. "Why did you have to do that?" Kurt asks. "It was for her own good." It was for her own good. I understand why Santana did what she did but she could have had a better bedside manner with it.
At NYADA Rachel confronts Brody. "I was hoping I could have dinner with you tonight" she says as she slips some cash into his hand. "I'm sorry is it not enough? I wasn't sure what the going rate was these days for male hookers." "Don't judge me," Brody says. "Not everyone has doting daddies to pay their bills." Rachel is upset and crying. "I'm such an idiot," she repeats. "You told me that if we were honest with each other anything was possible. Why did you lie to me?" she asks. "Why did you lie to me?" he counters. Rachel has no clue what Brody is talking about until he tells her that Finn is the one that messed up his face. "Finn came all the way here to do that?" she asks quietly. "And who's the liar now? I know you still love him and I know that you slept with him at that wedding." Rachel wants to blame Santana but Brody says "No one had to tell me. Look, I'm sorry I lied about all that stuff OK, but I meant everything that I ever said about how I feel about you." Rachel admits to not being completely honest, she believes she was partly using Brody to make Finn jealous but to also fill her own heart ache. Brody asks if it's over and Rachel says "It feels like it is." Perfect time to start singing Radiohead's "Creep." I don't love Brody/Rachel duets, maybe because I love Finn/Rachel's duets better so I'm biased. I also think it was a little cheesy to have Rachel and Brody running through the halls and then meeting on stage. And I hated Rachel's dress. And I also used to love this song back in the 1990s….and this version didn't do it any justice.
I hope this means that the Brody story is done. I don't want Finn and Rachel to get back together yet, though. They aren't ready for that.
Kurt and Santana are bonding over "The Facts of Life." That's cute. We rarely see Santana bond with anyone unless she's making fun of them. They talk about turning "The Facts of Life" into a musical as Rachel walks in. Rachel wants to do a duet with Santana…Santana says it depends on what happened with American Psycho. Rachel says that they're going to be professional because they go to the same school but it's really over. She thanks Santana for not giving up and for making her see. "I appreciate you getting Finn to come and defend my honor…I swear I will never doubt your Mexican psychic third eye again." Rachel is still sad (understandably so), but she is ready…for her audition, to see other guys, for their new and permanent roommate. But Rachel is going to pick the movie to watch and she picks the best guilty pleasure musical ever! "Mamma Mia." And the three of them sing it. This is true, this is a huge guilty pleasure. The producers make this an entire cast number. I like the costumes; they are spot on.
Glee returns in 3 weeks with their final 5 episodes of the season. What did you think of this one? Not much of a plot, but some fun songs, no?

1Tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude: such a conclusion by itself would be reductive
More example sentences

- Crass, cheap, reductive and - if viewed in a certain light - even rather homophobic?
- But such a view is surely reductive: Young has not only been actively releasing albums throughout the 90s and into the 00s, but several of them been unexpectedly solid as well.
1.1(With reference to art) minimal: he combines his reductive abstract shapes with a rippled surface
More example sentences
- Nor is it merely the fact that they are swimming against the tide of Modernism with its utopian sense of inevitability and its flagship aesthetic of reductive minimalism.

- So, if living systems cannot be reductively defined in some other way, it will follow that no reductive account of life will be forthcoming.
- Do we perceive symbols reductively, through the filter of our own experience, and if so how do we know we are seeing what the artist intended?
reductiveness noun
- Example sentences
- Let me state this point in a different way: the reductiveness of the usual kind of 'historical background' has its appeal, and also its utility.
- Aghion, moreover, covers all the relevant topics in sufficient depth to escape any suspicion of reductiveness, at least as far as I am concerned.
- We're left with a social parable of mind-boggling reductiveness.

The USASA south Tahoe series continues this weekend at Sierra-at-Tahoe Ski Resort with a rail jam and slopestyle competition.
The events are for amateur athletes of all ages looking to score points for the national competition that starts March 30 at Copper Mountain in Colorado.
Even though the competitors aren't professionals - yet - the series offers a unique opportunity for Tahoe athletes to prove their skills and possibly break into the pro ranks.
"This is how Maddie Bowman, Jamie Anderson got their start. It's a great circuit for amateurs to showcase their talents," Sierra's Communications Manager Steven Hemphill said.
Riders who compete in Saturday's rail jam could qualify for the chance to ride at the USASA X-Games rail jam in Aspen this month. It might not be the actual professional X-Games competition held annually in Colorado, but it still givers snowboarders a chance to show their skills at the X-Games Vendor Village.
Athletes also have the opportunity to snag some cool swag Sunday when the slopestyle competition starts at 10 a.m. Prizes include helmets, boots, watches and more and each participant also receives a raffle ticket and the chance to win more merchandise.
"It's a really welcoming environment. We have kids who have been doing this since they were young kids to kids who just got started. Even if you're new to competitions, you can still walk away with some cool stuff," Sierra's Events Coordinator Katie Hunter said.
The next event in the series is another slopestyle competion set to take place at Sierra-at-Tahoe Jan. 26. The series hops between Sierra and Heavenly Mountain Resort, and also includes a bordercross and skiercross event, two slalom and GS races and a halfpipe competition. For the full calendar, visit http://tinyurl.com/bhbmwe8.
Hunter said she expects about 80 athletes to compete in Sunday's event. The Jan. 27 bordercross competition, which has the lowest barrier to entry, could draw up to 130 people, she said.
"We see a lot of the same rock starts competing," Hunter said.

Review style Screencast video of Fedora Linux 13 Beta 32bit KDE edition Live CD Open Source GNU/Linux Operating System. I demo this OS inside VirtualBox Virtual Machine inside of Kubuntu Linux 9.10. My conclusion is that Fedora is not easy to use or ready for the desktop or laptop masses of everyday uses, it is still just for geeks in server rooms, in my opinion. Fedora Jesse Keating has announced the availability of the beta release of Fedora 13: The beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 13. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading up to the general release of Fedora 13, scheduled to be released in the middle of May. A universe of new features for end users: automatic print driver installation; desktop enhancements – the Shotwell photo manager, Deja-dup backup software, Pino Identi.ca / Twitter client, and Simple Scan scanning utility; NetworkManager improvements include better Mobile Broadband, Bluetooth, and new CLI abilities; color management; enhanced iPod functionality; experimental 3D graphics support extended to free Nouveau driver for NVIDIA cards…."
