The breakout season for the Earthquakes' Alan Gordon continued Monday when the powerful striker was named to the U.S. men's national team for upcoming World Cup qualifying games against Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala.
Gordon was one of 24 players picked for all-important CONCACAF semifinal matches Friday at Antigua and Oct. 16 at Kansas City.
"He's a guy who went through ups and downs," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "But he always had the right spirit. He never took things for granted. And he's a giver."
The 6-foot-3 Gordon is enjoying a career season in San Jose where he has scored 13 goals and added seven assists for Major League Soccer's most potent team.
"The players are fighting for each other," Klinsmann added. "He's part of that. That's why he deserved that call. It proves to you if you stay on course, if you are completely dedicated to what you're doing you can get those rewards. And this a reward for Alan to come back in."
Earthquakes coach Frank Yallop echoed Klinsmann's sentiment, saying, "He's among the best comeback stories in the league right now."
Gordon, 30, joined Seattle's Eddie Johnson as the big surprises on a roster that excluded Jozy Altidore, the leading scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie, and the Quakes' Chris Wondolowski, who is two goals shy of tying the MLS single-season scoring record of 27.
Klinsmann said Wondolowski will get his chance in future training camps. He and Vienna-based forward Terrence Boyd were included as alternates in case any of the five strikers get injured over the next week.
Klinsmann said Wondolowski, who was named MLS player of the week Monday for the fourth time this season, deserves a shot.
"Obviously Wondo is on a roll," he said of the player who has seven goals in the past five matches. "He is so fun to watch."
But the coach decided to call upon Gordon and Johnson for tactical reasons in the two games Klinsmann said the Americans must win. The United States is even with Guatemala at the top of CONCACAF'S Group A with seven points and matching totals in both goal differential and goals scored.
A win at last-place Antigua would mean the United States need only tie at home against Guatemala to advance to the final qualifying round.
"We wanted Eddie and Alan because both are strong in the air," Klinsmann said. "We expect two difficult games where opponent will play more defensively. We need to force things with crosses over the wings. Those two guys are good in the air and can lay balls off."
Klinsmann also called up Landon Donovan of the Los Angeles Galaxy, who suffered a knee injury over the weekend but told the U.S. coaches he is ready. The other strikers are Clint Dempsey of Tottenham Hotspur and Herculez Gomez of Santos.
U.S. soccer fans were buzzing over the omission of Altidore, 22, who is tied for the scoring lead in the Dutch league with eight goals. But Altidore has only one assist in six appearances for the United States this year.
"I communicated with Jozy that I was not happy about his latest performances with us, maybe over the last 14 months," Klinsmann said. "Jozy can do much, much better. The reason why he's not coming in is mainly about his performances at Jamaica and at home, also in training. Also certain things that went on through the May-June camp."
"Both guys deserve to get their chance," said Yallop, adding he is not worried about their fitness before the playoffs begin next month. "The intensity of games are good for Victor and Marvin."

You're right, I don't have much of a sense of humor when I think people may be planning to do something that might put a child at risk. I'm not concerned about you - I don't think you will have a problem finishing or miscarry on the course - it's the long term effects on your baby that concern me. I think I'm grasping the situation a whole lot better than you appear to be, perhaps because I've studied toxicology and problems that can effect the unborn and know that many things done during a pregnancy can harm an unborn child and the effects not be realized for years, like smoking, some drugs, etc. Don't forget the fact that when you do have heat problems, one of the things that happens is confusion, so maybe you shouldn't be quite very confident in your ability to gauge your exertion level; you may not realize how bad a shape you're in. I know many seasoned marathoners who have run Boston, thought they were doing OK, but ended up in med tents. You certainly aren't going to know what your'e doing to your baby, despite your being "very confident" in your ability to care for it. If you travel to Boston (sounds like you're not local) and the day dawns unusually warm, once you're actually at a race it's a lot harder to make the decision not to run - same goes for overheating late in the race. Will you really not start if your'e at the race? Or be able to realize you should stop, if you are just a couple miles short of the finish line?
So add a few more to your list of concerns about mercury and the like, concerns about your own elevated temperature while doing a marathon - how different is it likely to be from getting into a hot tub, which you already know you should't do? Also add dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and the likely long time delays to get back if you decide to stop. It's not just the corticoid steroids released that can be problem for an unborn. Maybe you shouldn't be quite so confident about your ability to care for your baby and run a marathon at the same time.
Could be the risks are low, but noone knows one way or the other, so why take a chance? To answer the question you first posed, is it possible and not completely foolish to still want to go to Boston and just participate: to want to go is quite reasonable and understandable, but to take the risk and actually do so? Possible, yes, but also foolish.
You can run Boston another year - your baby doesn't have another chance to develop. Put your baby first.

Are you looking for an opinion or for permission? Not trying to be mean, just trying to get to the heart of the matter. Completely agree w/ Laker and Mary--not worth the risk.
Boston will always be there. Why not run it when you can give it your all?
[http://This message has been edited by tuscaloosarunner (edited Mar-02-2007).|http://This message has been edited by tuscaloosarunner (edited Mar-02-2007).]
I am in the maryt, laker, tuscaloosa camp. You should still be qualified for 2008. I understand the desire to get the Boston experience, but I personally would never put that before the health of my baby
even if there was no definitive proof that getting that experience would do harm. And I say this as someone who regularly pushes the envelope in terms of running with minor injuries, chest colds, in extremish weather, etc. Running regularly through your preganancy is cool if sanctioned by your ob. But running a marathon is different then running an easy 20-30 mpw. Even if you run it slow, you'll be out there under stress for around 4 hours or so. I just don't understand why it's worth it. I don't think you're a bad person or bad mother for considering itI can relate to your perserverance--but I have to say I think you're really risking way too much for something you can do next year. That's my opinion anyway. I wish you the best whatever you decide.
Thank you all...I really do appreciate all of your comments and MaryT I do appreciate your knowledge of toxicology...I'm just trying to keep this thread light because the stress and shock of finding out I'm pregnant to begin with is already ovewhelming. Maybe that didn't come across very well. I'm actually very paranoid and cautious just in general and just naturally assumed I had to give up running Boston but was hoping that maybe that wasn't true which is why I asked to begin with.
It's hard to give up on something I worked very hard for especially since there are no guarantees that I'll get back to Boston.
But, marathon or not, I plan to keep on running. Thanks again!

Wow, gotta love your priorities. If this was letsrun I'd swear you were a troll.
?? how do you know anything about my priorities? my ob and everything I've researched says that running during pregnancy is healthy for both mom and baby. My original question was whether there was a safe and modified way to participate in a marathon to which there are differing opinions....I'm pretty sure I'm not running Boston because it seems there are valid risks, but I certainly don't feel bad about being disappointed in that fact.
Wow, I appreciated everybody's opinion on the marathon but certainly don't appreciate being judged by someone who has no idea what they are talking about and no constructive information to add to the conversation.

Mayfield - Amen to that! I completely agree and that's why I chose not to ask others' opinions about what to do with regards to deciding to run my marathon. Lots of differing opinions and yes a lot of judgment. I made the decision to run my marathon while pregnant (8wk) in a cool weather marathon, but actually did not tell anyone (except my OB and DH of course - my OB actually was completely fine with it and I made sure she understood that this was 26.2 miles, not just an average run) because I knew the criticism and judgment that comes with that. I actually felt the best I have ever felt after that marathon. FWIW, that was my 8th marathon, and although that doesn't consider me a veteran marathoner, I have never had to visit the med tent (and don't plan to). I know my body and my limits, yes even at mile 23-24. I did have support with me throughout the course in case something did happen and I needed a way back. In fact, I still haven't told many in my running community because of others' judgment re: my decision to continue running (much shorter distances now of course) and I would just rather not be judged in my decisions. It just seems to make others overly concerned which in turn makes me irritated so I figure there's absolutely no point in that. I too am missing Boston this year and would have loved to have gone. I am disappointed because my qualifying race would have put me in wave 1. I'm not sorry I'm missing Boston, but yes I am disappointed to have to miss it this year. Sorry for those of you who judge me to be a bad person because I feel this way. I pondered the idea of paying the fees and deferring for one year, but decided against that because of course there's another Boston, even if I will no longer qualify for the first wave. And of course, my baby takes priority above all else. Disappointment about not being able to run Boston does not equal disappointment in having this baby. I am absolutely thrilled.
Good luck with whatever decision you choose.
I am very sorry that you must deal with this negativity. maryt is usually very harsh and misinformed so I would tend to ignore that person. As for the others meh. It is my understanding that when you are pregnant your body does everything that it can to protect the fetus. You will not be able to perform very well and it seem that you have excepted that.
After talking to your doctor and of course pledging to keep the HRM on during your run, I wish you well. I hope that no one on the course is as judgmental at those popping up here though. They may have things to throw at you while they run. Title 9 was not that long ago and many people are not accustom to seeing pregnant women in sporting events.
Do it for the love of the sport. Do it to show the world that we can. One of the best things I have ever seen in my life was a very pregnant woman running in a college track meet. I loved watching every minute of it. Good luck!

Good luck in Boston. I have full confidence you will make the right choice when you see you are overexerting yourself. Getting in the car is dangerous, eatings fresh spinach can be risky. There was an article once in either Runner's World or Running Times about a woman completing a marathon and being just fine. Talk to a doctor who knows a thing or two about running (most of them are pathetically ignorant), observe how you respond to increases in training and enjoy the experience.

I have a degree in medicinal chemistry, and read the medical literature, so I really don't think I'm misinformed. Yes, your body does everything it can to protect the fetus, but it needs help from the person carrying the fetus. Your body has a very tough time protecting the fetus from elevated body temperature, for example, and the body can't help the fetus deal with folic acid deficiency, smoking, alcohol, all sorts of things, if the mother doesn't consciously make an effort to do everything she can to help protect the fetus as well.
Unfortunately, unless there are lots of cases to study - and there certainly haven't been a lot of women running marathons while pregnant - long term effects of risky things that happen during pregnancy just aren't known. Many women smoked during pregnancy and most of their babies appeared to be healthy at birth. It wasn't until long term studies were done that it was realized more of those babies had more colds, more infections, and were overall slower learners than children of mothers who did not smoke. The drug Thalidomide caused obvious birth defects, but Diethylstilbestrol given to many pregnant women before 1971 was later shown to cause increases in vaginal and breast cancer and sterility in their daughters - serious effects not realized until 20-30 years after birth, when their babies couldn't have babies of their own!
So that's why I say no one truly knows at this point what harm running a marathon can do or has done to a fetus along for the ride, even if a few women have completed marathons and their babies appeared to be healthy at birth. Elevated body temperature for several hours duration of a marathon (elevated body temperatures of 2-3 degrees or more happen routinely during marathons) or electrolyte imblances (30% of people tested after one marathon were found to be low in sodium levels), or a period of dehydration, etc., or those eleveated levels of cortisol that don't appear in shorter races where you don't run low on muscle glycogen - it's known that all those things can be bad for a fetus taken alone, but nobody knows just how bad they might be in any particular marathon. Nobody knows what the effect might be on any particular fetus either, but seems like most would agree there is at least some extra risk compared with running shorter distances.
I really don't mean to be harsh. I can undestand you're still tryng to come to grips with the unexpected pregnancy and I swear signing up for a marathon does strange things to one's mind regardless! It's very hard to give up the idea once you've put in all that training - it's like an addiction. I know lots of people, myself included, who ran marathons when they were injured, for example, and knew (or should have known) it was a really bad idea and would set them back. Did that myself in 2000 and it helped turn a minor knee problem into a major chronic injury. Just remember, you have more than just yourself to consider. Regardless of what you decide, best wishes for you both!
Here's an interesting article:
http://active.com/story.cfm?story_id=7944&sidebar=13&category=running[/URL" target="_blank">
The thing to keep in mind:
she ran a marathon while pregnant

she miscarried later at 10 weeks
This is just one story. But it has to make you think.
Here's another:
http://www.newwest.net/index.php/topic/article/running_after_baby_back_on_the_trail/C40/L40/[/URL" target="_blank">
Another person training for a long run...another miscarriage.
It can happen. Maybe it was because of the marathon. Maybe not. The truth is...running a marathon can jack up the risk-factor. To what extent is unclear...but are you willing to live with it?
There's a great quote in there:
"I ran through early twenties angst, moving across the country, Oregon rain, Montana ice, turning thirty but pregnancy was one thing I could not run through."
Running a marathon is hard enough when you're healthy and not pregnant.
I've done 5 marathons and every time I think I've come out in worse shape then when I went in. Unlike normal running of just a few miles a day, marathons tend to hurt your health rather than help it. The recovery takes a while and it does put your body through stress.
I'm not an expert, I'm not female, I've never been pregnant and I can't quantify the level of risk that you are exposing yourself to by running a marathon at a certain stage of pregnancy. But I tend to agree with maryt...there is a dearth of data...especially long term... out there on this. Not many women were running marathons until the last 15 or 20 years and I don't know what studies have been done.
My personal belief is that one should only do a marathon if they have no other ailments that could get potentially get in the way. I've seen too many people run through marathons with stress fractures, tears or other injuries; and I've seen them reap the consequences for months or even years afterwards.
As for just "participating" in it rather than racing in it...I know from experience that that can be deceiving too. It's very hard to hold back once I make up my mind to go a certain pace...and I only tend to go faster once I start and not slower.
I'd be asking myself: "at what speed exactly am I comfortable with?". Is it 30 seconds slower than normal pace? A minute? Why not 2 minutes? Why not 10 minutes per mile slower? I'd also be asking myself: "Am I comfortable knowing that I'm going to be exerting this effort but still not putting forth my best performance" while taking into account the risks.
If you have any doubt about whether your physical condition is adequate, I would say don't do it. From my point of view, a successful pregnancy is more impressive than a great marathon.
There is a really great book called Exercising Through YOur Pregnancy by a Doctor John Trapp. Please get it and read it. I didn't find it til my 8th month and had I found it sooner I would have exercised much more and maybe participated in some races while pregnant.
Boston has always been my dream- I have not BQed yet but I totally understand where you are coming from, and the dissapointment you will feel if you decide not to run. If it was me I would consider enjoying the day, taking it way easy, and stopping if I felt anything abnormal. The pace you must keep at to keep your HR under 140 is REALLY slow, at least for me. The concern I would have for myself would be weather I can truly hold back in a race, being a very competitive person.
One other point. In the year after my only child was born, my times started coming DOWN and I PRed by many minutes in the 5k, 10k, and Marathon. I gained the recomended 25lbs and exercised moderately during my pregnancy and I am convinced that the whole experience made me stronger and faster. If you're smart and take care of yourself, you'll be ready to qualify again next year!

That's also a point made in the articles that I posted too...there's some mention of the women running faster after pregnancy. That's also consistent with what I've observed in my own daily life. I know a lot of women, even a cousin, who did marathons after having a baby and came back even faster than before.

Thank you all for the different perspectives, insight and information. I think that while I am pretty comfortable judging my own exertion level, I am also just as confident in realizing that 26.2 miles is going to be past my comfort level...it's just taken some time to adjust to this reality.
Shuffling Feet, I think you are a great inspiration. And I look forward to coming back faster than ever after this baby is born! Getting back to Boston will be great motivation for getting in shape post baby.
Thanks again all and happy, happy running.

BERTHOUD PASS - As the whumping helicopter dived into the valley, Roger Hedlund's dream suddenly become palpable.
The heli had just dropped its 25th load - hand-hewed timber beams harvested from the valley floor - and the Broome Hut up the Second Creek drainage of Berthoud Pass was no longer simply a vision.
"After 15 years of planning, we just have to put it together. This is a really incredible feeling," said the president of the Grand Huts Association, who quickly recovered from his revelry to direct a team of 12 hard-hatted volunteers for the next helicopter load.
"This is an old-fashioned barn raising," Hedlund said as the rumble of the helicopter again filled the lush alpine valley. "It's going to be a tremendous community asset."
The journey to the June 1 day-long barn raising was long, with an intensive federal environmental review that examined the Broome Hut's impacts on soil, water and wildlife mere feet from the Vasquez Wilderness boundary. This winter the 1,800-square-foot, 16-bunk hut 1Ω miles from U.S. 40 will begin hosting day-trippers, overnight backcountry travelers, avalanche educators and students.

At one time, the "alter ego," an alternate character created by a regular user, was used tastefully. However, now that this idea has caught on, the use of the alter ego has gotten out of hand. What do I mean by this?Now we have several posters posting as themselves, and also as four or five other alter egos at the same time. There is no way for the TW members to correct these members through flames, criticism or scourgings because we are not ever sure who they are. In an extreme example, I believe we have at least one member who posts as at least 15 other people.Consequently, we have forums flooded with dozens of alter egos: regular members hiding behind fake characters to purge their inner autism.This creates a sloppy and silly message board. How to solve this problem? Alter egos can be identified and "outed" by the mods. Thus, the regular members can at least criticize those who abuse the alter ego concept.Unfortunately, those who have tastefully and brilliantly used alter egos to create parody and satire will suffer. I am sorry. But it is possible that you would finally like to receive credit for the creative use of alternate characters?
I agree. These alter egos must be stopped! . . . cue Sysiyo and a "sensible answer".i ate TJ
I so goddamn agree! Should I alone be in charge, all the alter egoes would be banned right away (except the ones I like)!Unfortunately, we'd have to reach an agreement with the other mods and shit like that, so it would never work... KArt | Project Michelangelo | LiveJournal
Hunh unh. We can't agree on anything. Why, at the very last moderators' shindig we had, Sysiyo and I had voted on watching Clockwork Orange and having hummus and beer. Well, Adam and EJ thought we needed to drink red wine, eat yellow cheeze, and then go bowling. So, needless to say, we ended up getting a demonstration from an internationally renowned taxidermist who showed us how to stuff a cat. Then we had tea sandwiches and went home. Tati, being the only sensible person around just sent her regrets. (Her movie vote was for Butt Sluts V, but Sysiyo, not having seen I through IV nixed that idea immediately 'cause he was afraid he wouldn't know what was going on.)shitr
If that would stop the slowness of opening threads, and pages within threads, and put an end to the oops messages, I couldn't agree more.If you don't have anything nice to say, go to London and say it in front of 2000 people. NM.
I discussed this (in person) with Adam at the Adelaide after show party and, unless he wasn't telling me the whole truth, he indicated that it's not possible for the Mods to do that, as they can't see the IP addresses - only Evan can. (Unless some of you New Mods know different).
In reply to:I believe we have at least one member who posts as at least 15 other people.

Hmmm, yes. One wonders how you know that. Interestingly I indicated to Adam that another TWer firmly believed that you, pianocraft, are Evan. Adam was surprised by this so it can't possibly be true....can it?But Tati is right, Butt Sluts V is the best.StuGet Bowie Back DownunderThe GBBD 2005 campaign starts here!
I firmly believe there are very few new members at TW. When you see a new username, it is merely an old member registering a new alter ego. Those with the least to say, say it with the most alter egos.

I dunno. It seems in the last few weeks, we've gotten a giant wave of newbies who are quite vocal about being such and have tons of annoying questions. To make matters worse, they like to start new threads all over the place asking dumb questions instead of just being a bother on existing topics as many newbies are at first. And I have noticed that they're all being treated decently by everyone! What's going on here?I'll be seeing YOU in Philadelphia, Kansas City, St. Louis, Holmdel, and Wantaugh. So dress sharp.
I reckon 50% of people on here are actually a Mr. D Bowie (New York).He does it to keep his name alive among the Net fraternity and cannot stand to go on BowieNet anymore, as on here he sees it like it is.Oh and what's the story with Butt sluts, I only saw up to IIII.

Just a clarification, isn't "Mermaids" a spoken word piece? I'd take The strange famous spoken word out of the two... "throwin a can o pee off a canopy, can a pee-brain hit me in plain day? Are we game for wee games with weak aim?" hahaa.
Also, throw on the full version of Her Schlag if you have it. Xaul Zan has to be repped or he'll pull his mullet out.

hmmm....from a British point of view (baring in mind how hard it is to get ANY good shit over here).....i would suggest making 'waiting tables' and 'waging war' a double disk release...
However if not...and you do condense it...stick gun godz on and maybe re-record eye of the tiger cuz i've only ever heard it in bad quality....unless thats just the shitty downloads of it i've had....
if i had my way i'd say keep em all comin cuz the back catalogue will take off bg style the more ish you do.....and you might regret simply dismissing it for the individual stages of your progression through hip-hop that it is.
Good luck with the decision.

I hope that if you're doing this, you'll get the final result professionally mastered once and for all? In that case, you won't have to worry as much about some of the mixes you may not be happy with - you can chill with the engineer and he'll fix them for you (if he can, which is not unlikely).
I can't imagine that you could really satisfy everyone without compiling absolutely every studio track from the three comps, and that will require a double CD. You know you have collectors who will make that worthwhile... BUT! If you want to compile a streamlined intro to the early years, then you'll have to keep it single disc and actually pretty short and sweet or it won't really serve that function.
I hate saying that, because personally I'd rather buy the two disc set with the full collection of material and I'd hate to influence you away from that path, but if you want it to work for you, you should probably keep it to ten songs.
Incidentally, the Introduction To Buck65 CD compiiled from his reissues has only six songs on it (and two of them are The Centaur).
I'd love to see the chaff excised from your wheat crop and have those studio tracks placed in a context fairer to them, but where I want all of them remastered to keep forever... I get the feeling you're not looking to craft a collectors' item?

a live cd or dvd would be dope.
a freestyle cd would be cool too, for those of us who are aspiring to learn what it takes to be a good freestyler. I listen to the apathy and sage one all the time.
and this cd is a good idea too.
i would like to hear the "whore monger singalong" redun, it's a really good song, but i don't like the quality.
mourning aftermath over come come now.
and add inner conflict to that list.

When Jimmy Walker moved to Breckenridge 17 years ago, his first job was at a ski shop in town, a pretty average start for the man who's now the potentate of pilsners, porters and pale ales at the local Breckenridge Brewery.
Eventually, Walker got work at the brewery, doing all kinds of jobs from bussing tables to bartending, until the head brewer moved on. The assistant brewer was promoted, and the part-time assistant job opened up.
"After working here, I started caring about what we were doing, mostly from bartending and serving the beer all the time," Walker said.
He had been home brewing since college and had put in a good chunk of time at the brewery, so he applied to be the assistant brewer. After only two years, the head brewer again moved on, and Walker's apprenticeship as assistant propelled him into the lead brewing role at the Breckenridge brewpub.
"After working here so long, they figured I could handle it," Walker said. "I got assistance as I needed it. I'm a pretty lucky guy."
Walker has been running the show in Breck for a little more than a year now. He said that having the support of the larger brewery in Denver allows him freedom to try new things at the brewpub, rather than simply being a production line for Avalanche and Agave Wheat.
"At this location, we can do more experimental stuff, more first-time beers," he said.
Walker's got a couple of small-batch pilot brews he's working on at the moment. He's putting together a Belgian series, brewing Breck favorites with Belgian yeast strains and higher grain profiles. He's also serving a beer brewed with a fruit called Buddha's hand, which gives it a citrus flavor, and experimenting with an imperial chocolate stout.
And Breckenridge Brewery has started doing some barrel aging of its beers, both the classics and new concoctions. Walker added Belgian yeast to the brewery's flagship Oatmeal Stout, with two times the amount of oatmeal generally used for that beer. The result was a full, bitter brew that was a perfect candidate for some time in a barrel.
"We're calling it 23 in honor of our 23rd anniversary," he said. "Oatmeal Stout was one of the first beers we ever brewed, so this is a twist on that beer."
Walker said brewing can be perceived as a difficult industry to crack, but all it takes is some persistence and a willingness to start at the bottom of the ladder.
"It's such a competitive field," Walker said. "Do what it takes to get your foot in the door, and then the sky might be the limit. You just start on the bottom line, which might be at a brewpub waiting tables."

Sue Frisch is a professional dog trainer with 25+ years of experience working with dogs and their owners. She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) and Tri-State Dog Obedience Club (TSDOC). After 25 years managing an animal shelter while also running a dog boarding business at her farm and teaching training classes at night, Sue's expertise includes everything from basic manners training and behavior modification to dog psychology, nutrition, and exercise. Over the years she has worked with hundreds of families and their pet dogs. Sue knows that the science of canine behavior and training—and the resulting training techniques—is a field in constant development, and she makes sure to keep abreast of the latest discoveries. She regularly attends seminars with eminent behaviorists and dog trainers, and reads every significant book and publication on relevant topics. She is currently an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, is in the instructors training course for K9 Nose Work and studying to become a C.L.A.S.S. evaluator for the APDT's Canine Life and Social Skills program. Through her business, Your Dog's Place, Sue helps dog owners train dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments to be polite four-legged family members—and she gives dogs a home away from home when they board at her farm, Countryside Kennels. Sue lives in Honesdale, PA, with her four dogs, Mackie, April, Mystery, and Monkey.
The Association of Pet Dog Trainers, the largest educational and professional association for dog trainers in the world, has proclaimed January "National Train Your Dog Month." The goal of this campaign is to promote the importance of training and socialization to all dog owners. According to the Humane Society of the United States, between six and eight million dogs and cats are turned in to animal shelters each year, and about four million are euthanized for lack of good homes. Many dogs are turned in to shelters for common behavior and training issues that could easily be solved with the assistance of a professional trainer or behavior counselor. In fact, it has been proven that training and socializing dogs when they are young reduces or eliminates behavior problems in the future.
The first step is to find a trainer to work with. To do this you will need to decide what you want to do with your dog. Are you looking for basic good manners training, does your dog have aggressive or fear issues that will require the help of a person experienced in behavior modification, or are you interested in a particular sport, like K9 Nose Work®, Agility or Rally-O? There are training clubs that train for competitive dog sports, as well as individual trainers and training centers that focus on classes to help you teach your dog good manners.
Once you have an idea what you might be looking for ask your veterinarian, groomer or dog friends for a referral or go to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT.org) or a breed-specific site to see their recommendations.
When speaking with potential trainers, one of the first questions you should ask is if they train using POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. This translates as rewarding your dog for making the right choices, instead of the older method of using harsh correction to train through fear. If they do not use positive reinforcement, I would suggest leaving them as your very last option. You should also ask if it is possible to observe a class or a training session with a dog they are working with. Any club or trainer worth their salt will let you see what they do before you sign up. Note the way the instructor teaches, how he/ she relates to the class and the dogs as well as observing if the dogs and handlers appear to be succeeding in doing what the instructor is asking.
Once you have chosen your trainer or class then you and your dog can start the amazing journey together towards an improved relationship and better behavior! This is a great New Year Resolution that is a win-win for everyone involved.
I would like to close with a reminder about the dangers of anti-freeze to your pets! Last New Year's Eve a friend of mine lost her beautiful American Eskimo Dog to anti-freeze poisoning. Dogs and cats find antifreeze quite tasty and if they find it they will drink it. Antifreeze is extremely toxic, causing kidney failure that is often fatal.
Very small amounts of antifreeze can be fatal. If a cat walks through a puddle of antifreeze and then licks its paws, it can ingest enough antifreeze to cause death. About five tablespoons can kill a medium sized dog. If you see your pet drinking antifreeze, or are at all suspicious that your pet may have had access to antifreeze, contact a veterinarian immediately. Signs of antifreeze poisoning depend upon the time after ingestion. In the first few hours after ingestion the pet may be depressed and staggering and may have seizures. They may drink lots of water, urinate large amounts and vomit. The pet may appear to feel better but in a day or two will get much worse as the kidneys fail. The diagnosis of antifreeze poisoning is made by blood and urine tests and antifreeze poisoning should be considered in any free-roaming dog or cat with consistent signs. Treatment for antifreeze poisoning needs to be started as soon after ingestion as possible, the earlier treatment is started, the greater the chance of survival. Once kidney failure develops, most animals will die.

TED Blog Post Highlights Progressive Research Models on Rare Diseases
TED Blog Post Highlights Progressive Research Models on Rare Diseases
01.24.13 | By
Confession: I'm a dogged TED talk enthusiast. The website provides doses of genius, innovation and creativity in 20 minute takes; a great brain break for my mid-afternoon caffeine crashes void of all intelligent and rational thought.
Earlier this week, the TED blog highlighted children with rare "orphan" diseases and published a dialogue with C Jimmy Lin of the Rare Genomics Institute. RGI has set up a revolutionary patient-focused approach to rare disease research, empowering patients to research and understand their own disease in new ways.
As it happens, rare diseases aren't altogether actually that "rare" at all. According to the National Institutes of Health, 25-30 million Americans have one of the nearly 7,000 diseases that are officially deemed "rare" because alone they each affect fewer than 200,000 people. Sometimes, only a few hundred Americans are known to have a particular rare disease. There are challenges to research, treat and understand these often little-understood maladies, but there's also been great progress in recent years. In addition to organizations like RGI contributing to patients' understanding of their condition, there are currently more than 400 medicines in development for a variety of rare diseases. See our report on those new medicines here.
RGI promotes an open data model and crowd funding for patient research projects, which depends on strong collaboration between researcher, physician and patient and caregivers. It's been a somewhat controversial model, but could make some big gains in areas like rare diseases where small patient populations could stand to benefit from being actively involved in research into their condition.
Check out Lin's blog and look into RGI's new research models on TED; their innovations are worth a look.

What Do Dandelions, Camping, and Juicing Have to Do with Each Other?
I've Moved! The Boomer Chronicles has closed after 6 years, but you can keep up with me on my new blog at http://www.rheabecker.com
Six years ago I created a blog for baby boomers called The Boomer Chronicles. I had a blast doing it. But I recently closed the blog because I felt I wanted to expand beyond the boomer niche. But once in a while something comes along that gets my attention. An online chat board called Senior Forums invites people of a certain age to post their questions/concerns to a board so they can crowdsource with folks of their own generation. I really like it. I found the following topics (of personal interest to me) among the many threads:
- Buying a house at an advanced age
- Living in foreign countries
- Juicers
- I like camping but don't want to do tent camping anymore
- Dandelions — weed or superfood?
Full disclosure: I accepted a paid incentive to write about Senior Forums. But, seriously, I like Senior Forums.

I quote from the Lonely Planet guide: "If you're unlucky you'll stumble upon the old stone building housing the city's meat market, not a place to explore if you're even slightly squeamish". Since I'm not I went here twice (once to check the light conditions, but the market was past its prime, once to take pictures). Unfortunately a man would not let me take a picture of the wheelbarrow filled with sheep's heads, nor of the pile of heads next to it. But I managed some other shots. The Turks are not squeamish, meat is often on display in all its gore, so why not?
And by the way: the meat on these heads can be very tasty.

Treatment can be life-saving
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, approximately 20.6 million persons can be clinically defined with substance (alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs) dependence or abuse.
With the economy declining, prices continually rising and individuals' stress levels ever-increasing, without treatment, these numbers are sure to continue growing.
Incidents like random mass shootings, cell phone "sexting" and other dangerous Internet practices, many times come back to mental health and/or substance abuse issues.
As we say at Victory Addiction Recovery Center, a person with an addiction can come, get treatment and help decrease those very scary numbers.
I've heard countless stories of lives completely turned around after treatment at a private facility like ours.
Nowadays, treatment is better than it's ever been.
You and I can help.
If you know a friend or a family member for whom you think has a substance abuse issue, don't wait — call a private treatment center today and get them assessed.

Hendersonville native to represent NC in Cosmopolitan
Published: Friday, August 15, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 7:57 p.m.
Hendersonville native Maria Caserio will represent North Carolina in Cosmopolitan's "United States of Style" feature in its September issue.
After attending Florida State University, Caserio, 30, moved to New York City and worked for Condé Nast, diving head-first into advertising in the media industry.
"I have just kind of had a network of a lot of creative people over the last eight years that I have been fortunate enough to work with through my job, and so I met the bookings director with Cosmo," Caserio said. "And he was doing the casting for it and was hoping for me to represent North Carolina as part of it."
For the issue, Caserio was interviewed about how she looks at fashion and the ways her North Carolina roots have influenced her style. The magazine hit stands Aug. 12.
Caserio is currently working for the communications and creative department of ID Public Relations, whose clients range from Madison Avenue to Silicon Valley, but returns home to visit her parents in Hendersonville for the holidays.
While she is in town, Caserio said she always makes sure to stay true to their family traditions of grabbing pancakes on Sundays at Fireside and eating dinner downtown, followed by a movie.
"I also love the thrift stores on Main Street because a lot of people from there don't realize how many amazing things we have in our little town," Caserio said. "Having lived in big cities over the last several years, when I come home and can see all of these great things that we have, it is such a great opportunity for me to get some great shopping in too."
At Hendersonville High, Caserio worked on the school newspaper staff and was a co-editor for the yearbook her senior year. Her English teacher, Ms. Sumner, was an influential teacher in her life who Caserio says was the first to make her realize she could turn her love of writing into a career.
"She really was the first teacher that I felt recognized that I could write and that I had an ability to write," Caserio said. "It gave me confidence in a place that I wasn't the best student at math and science, but for some reason English and writing was something that really connected to me."

Queens of the Stone Age had just released their first new album in six years when they took the stage at The Ed Sullivan Theater for their Live on Letterman webcast. Like Clockwork had only been out for one day, but it was already topping charts and garnering countless rave reviews.
The inspiration for Like Clockwork was pulled largely from frontman Josh Homme's near death experience during a medical procedure and the unraveling of his life around it. The album and the fan support surrounding it is quite literally a rebirth "a dark rebirth, but one just the same."
The excitement for the band and the new material was a given, but how would it all play out live with the world watching as Homme and company took over the legendary stage? We knew QOTSA would be playing some new material, but no one was quite ready for what followed: a nearly hour long of set of brand new songs.
Queens of the Stone Age entered the theater like no one has before: animated by Boneface, the artist behind the album art. As the doors swung open, Queens of the Stone Age flipped from the magnificently macabre characters to their human selves and took the stage.
Queens kicked it off with the first track of Like Clockwork, "Keep Your Eyes Peeled." It opened heavy, yet pensively waiting to pounce, before it sprung open and poured down upon the crowd, raining a fury of drums and fuzzed out bass on the Ed Sullivan Theater.
After finishing the song, Homme looked over the crowd and commented on how great it was to "have the whole building to ourselves," as they launched into "My God is the Sun."
Homme continued to reflect on the unique position the band was in, playing a live webcast from the historic venue, before he announced, "This is a little dance number. It's called "If I Had a Tail.'" Throughout the show, the performance was complemented by more animations of Boneface's art, which matched the dark and perplexing mood set by the music. The two media fit perfectly, each enhancing the other.
Sitting behind the keyboard, Homme said, "Let's see how this works. I'm Elton John, everybody," as he played Sir Elton's part from the track, "Fairweather Friends." There may only be one Elton John in the world, but Josh Homme pulled it off and nailed the track live.
From there, Queens of the Stone Age continued with new material from Like Clockwork but changed gears with "Kalopsia," which played out live like a manic, opiate dream, in all the best ways possible. "Smooth Sailing" and "I Sat By The Ocean," followed, as the sixth and seventh straight songs off the new album, before Queens tore into the title track.
While one might expect "Like Clockwork" to be the song that tied the whole show together, it was actually the final track, "I Appear Missing," beautifully illustrated again by Boneface's art, that seemed to punctuate the entire experience and illustrate the mood, message, and impetus for the entire album.
Many bands perform Live on Letterman to promote new material, but few others have been brave enough to stand on that legendary stage and play only new songs. Queens of the Stone Age were that brave and they pulled it off with style. After making a powerful statement with a nearly hour show of all new material, QOTSA left the stage. Still, the crowd wanted more, so Queens returned, and for the first time that evening, dipped into their back catalogue to perform "Little Sister" as their encore.
Critically acclaimed, GRAMMY Award-nominated, gold and platinum arena/stadium/festival vets Queens of the Stone Age " consisting of founder and lead vocalist Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita and Michael Shuman will release Like Clockwork, their sixth studio album, on June 4. The album marks Queens of the Stone Age's first full length offering of new material since 2007's Era Vulgaris and boasts an impressive roster of collaborators, including Elton John, Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor, new Queens drummer Jon Theodore, among others. The band has built huge cadres of fans among critics and consumers alike with its eclectic, hypnotic and relentlessly intense brand of desert rock, with many already hailing ...Like Clockwork as the finest Queens effort to date. Queens of the Stone Age has already embarked on an extensive tour of theaters, arenas and festivals all over the world to support the album's release. Their LIVE ON LETTERMAN webcast will be an intimate and unforgettable stop along the way.

Mobbers to help local businesses
Published: Monday, October 15, 2012 at 4:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 15, 2012 at 4:33 p.m.
There is a new trend on the horizon to help locally owned businesses, and Terrebonne Parish has joined in on the fun. The Terrebonne Economic Development Authority has planned its first in a series of Cash Mob events for Wednesday from 5- 6 p.m. at JuJu's Boutique in downtown Houma.
Branching out of the flash mob concept, the cash mob uses social media to plan events and encourage the community to join together in support of local businesses.
"The goal of the cash mob idea is trifold. One would be to boost sales for smaller businesses, (two) create clients for new businesses or smaller companies people don't know about and (three) create a way for the community to give back," said TEDA employee Brandi Roach.
The first cash mob started last year in Buffalo, N.Y. After becoming an international hit in other countries such as Australia and Canada, the getting mobbed concept has made its way to JuJu's Boutique.
Sheri Duplantis, owner of the boutique, was more than excited to participate in the event after she volunteered her business during a TEDA meeting she attended.
"It's a great way to highlight local businesses and give back to those businesses that give back to the community," said Duplantis said. "It will have a positive impact on local and small businesses, and I think it's a great way to keep dollars in the community," she said.
Mobbers typically spend $20 or more at the business being mobbed, creating an instant economic boost.
The event will kick off 15 minutes prior at courthouse square, which will be the meeting place for those who are participating. From there, mobbers will walk over to the boutique and begin shopping.
Also as an incentive for the mobbers, there will be a prize given away.
"Anyone who participates and makes a purchase within the hour will be entered into a drawing to win tickets to the Saints versus Tampa Bay game," Duplantis said.
The next business TEDA hopes to spotlight is a restaurant during lunch time. The poll to choose that restaurant will be available for public voting on Monday. For more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/TerrebonneParishCashMob.

LMAO..I figured out the problem with many of the regular Fox news viewers! It isn't that they are stupid, they're not...they are gullible, and misinformed! Case in point...Saturday 2 friends of mine stopped by while I was watching Bill Maher, when Maher brought up that the Duck Dynasty guys were all frauds they freaked! They had to go online and see it for themselves. As they cycled through picture after picture of Tommy bahama wearing, no beard having frat boys they started to wise up.
I knew it all along...grew up with hunters and rednecks without count, they were faking it. Nothing added up, but it does now. It is a put on...just like storage wars. Not based in reality! They portray themselves as fresh from the trailer, they mangle the language on purpose soley to bilk money out of their fans. They don't merely imitate the true southern redneck...they are downright making fun of them! yet they fill the cracker barrel to buy up their copies of Duck Dynasty Christmas carols! LMAO! Cracker barrel how fitting!
As Maher put it....... Fat cats pretending to be just folks, Pay attention Tea Party....because that's what the GOP has been doing to you for years!

Reading is a religion for South Tahoe High School junior Kora Link. So it was only natural that she thank the South Tahoe Rotary Club for helping fund the school's library in person. The rotary club awarded the library with a $1,600 grant to pay for the subscription to the Junior Library Guild, a program that stocks the shelves with new books every month. Link joined STHS Teacher Librarian Doug Dilts at a rotary meeting Jan. 9 to show her appreciation to the organization and explain her love of books. "A lot of people can't buy books. I love books but I can't buy them. So it's important that we have the books here. You learn a lot from reading — themes, morals. Reading, to me, is like another form of religion," Link said. Since state funding for the library dried up four years ago —a $15,000 budget from 2008-09 had shrunk to zero by the next school year — Dilts relied on fees to add new books to the shelves. Dilts also received money from the school's general fund to pay for supplies, but the principal didn't often have much cash to spare. So the grant from the rotary club, which will enable the library to add 96 books per year to its 14,775-title collection, comes at a welcome time. "Our students really like to see new books coming to the library. They get really excited and motivated," Dilts said. "There's been a lot of research on reading achievement and access to books. There's a correlation. If students have access to a library and books they want to read, reading achievement goes up. And a lot of students who are socio-economically disadvantaged don't have access to books at home or to the public library," he said. With less money to purchase books and rights to online data bases, students' ability to research was limited, Dilts said. He would have to turn students away because the school library didn't carry the book they were looking for. From everything he's seen, Dilts is convinced reading — and print —isn't dead. "Young adult literature is huge, and it all pretty much started with the Harry Potter books. I see kids get really excited when they see new books and they still love print books," Dilts said. Link said news about the grant is already spreading and whenever there's a new book at the library, students swarm to be the first one to check it out. "It's really appreciated. I know a lot of people who are like, 'We need this book here.' It's definitely a good outlet for people to go," Link said.

European glass lizard
The European glass lizard got its name from its ability to 'shatter' its tail into several pieces if it is caught by a predator. Its tail will eventually grow back.
At four to five feet, more than two-thirds of the glass lizard's length is made up of its tail. Though it does not have any limbs and looks like a snake, the European glass lizard has many features that distinguish it from snakes, such as outside ear openings and eyes that can blink.
In the wild European glass lizards will sometimes eat snails, mice, lizards, small birds, and eggs of snakes and birds, but they mostly enjoy insects, especially grasshoppers.
During the breeding season, male glass lizards become extremely aggressive because there is such fierce competition for mates. Females lay five to ten eggs at a time. They hatch in about a month.
Range: southeast Europe to southwest Asia
Habitat: grasslands, open forests

PARKERSBURG - Despite gray skies and occasional raindrops, about 50 people Monday afternoon attended a Veterans Day event at Fort Boreman Historical Park by the Carlin's Battery D Civil War re-enactors.
As visitors watched, battery commander Jim Miracle explained the steps taken by Civil War artillery soldiers as they loaded - and fired - the battery's replica cannon. The event has been held for the past several years on Veterans Day.
Parkersburg resident Craig Metz was at Monday's open house with his daughter. Metz said it was their first visit to Fort Boreman Park and they wanted to see the cannon fired.

Carlin's Battery D Civil War re-enactors fire their cannon Monday afternoon at Fort Boreman Historic Park in Parkersburg. The battery's members held an open house as part of the local Veterans Day activities in Parkersburg.
He was given the chance to pull the firing cord for one of the shots and said it was an interesting experience.
"It's nice up here, it's really surprising," Metz said of the view from the park.
Joe Thorpe of Vienna also visited Fort Boreman Park on Monday to see the cannon, based on his own interest in history. He thought the open house was informative for all ages.
Fact Box
Other Events
In Marietta, Veterans Appreciation Day will be 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 14 at Campus Martius Museum, 601 Second St., with admission free to veterans.
William Reynolds, Friends of the Museums historian, will give a narration on the new Civil War Exhibit "Touched By Conflict" beginning at 2 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be available throughout the day.
Regular museum admission applies for non-veterans. For more information contact Campus Martius Museum at (740) 373-3750 or www.campusmartiusmuseum.org.
"I'm glad to see they are promoting this part of history, of West Virginia and Parkersburg," he said.
A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Thorpe thought the open house fit well with the Veterans Day holiday. Prior to going to Fort Boreman Park, he also attended the annual Veterans Day ceremony at City Park and was pleased with the large turnout he saw there.
"That was one of the biggest crowds I've ever seen," he said.
During Monday's program, the battery's 200-year-old log cabin was open to the public. Miracle talked about the uses of cannons during the Civil War and about the history of Fort Boreman, which was built during the war.
Fort Boreman was named for West Virginia's first governor, Arthur I. Boreman of Parkersburg. Union troops with the 11th West Virginia Infantry manned the fort during the Civil War.
The hill is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The Wood County Commission formed the Civil War living history and re-enactors group Carlin's Battery in February 2008. The original unit started in Wheeling and was ultimately discharged from Fort Boreman.
Battery D was organized in August 1862 with John Carlin as captain.
Miracle said the past weekend was a busy one for the battery. The re-enactors attended a program Saturday at Neal Cemetery in Vienna and also went to the first Veterans Day Picnic on Sunday at Veterans Park near the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport.
On Monday, Carlin's Battery D participated in the Parkersburg Veterans Day parade and ceremony at City Park. Following a "test drive" a couple of weeks ago in St. Marys, Miracle said Monday's parade along Washington Avenue was the first time the battery had its cannon and ammunition limber pulled by actual horses, as they would have during the Civil War.
"A lot of people talked about how nice it was to see the cannon and the horses, it's a really nice sight to see," he said.
"We usually pull it behind a truck, but when you've got two big draft horses pulling that thing, it's a sight," Miracle said.
Carlin's Battery D has one more event planned before the end of the year, its third annual Christmas at the Cabin program at Fort Boreman Park. The holiday program will be 6 p.m. Dec. 17 and will feature carol singing, cider, and other activities. Miracle said there will not be any cannon-firing during the holiday program.

Turkey Day Classic: Stillman making national TV debut
Published: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
Reaching greater heights is paramount for college athletes, and for the Stillman College football players, the chance to make a statement in today's 90th Turkey Day Classic is beyond measure.
Stillman at Alabama State
When: 3 p.m.
Where: ASU Stadium, Montgomery
Records: Stillman 6-4; Alabama State 7-4
Radio: 90.7 FM
Photo Galleries
The Tigers (6-4) have been preparing for their final game of the season against the Alabama State Hornets for three weeks.
Stillman has not competed in a Turkey Day Classic and will make its national TV debut at 3 p.m. on ESPNU.
"We have played on regional TV before, but to be able to be on national TV is big for the program and the players," coach Teddy Keaton said. "A lot of these guys were being recruited and could have been playing at other schools, but they chose Stillman, and now they get an opportunity to broadcast their talent."
The Turkey Day Classic has featured Tuskegee and Alabama State since 1992.
In an Alabama State press release, Hornets coach Reggie Barlow said he has built a relationship with Tuskegee's program over the years but has not had the opportunity to do so with the Stillman's yet. Barlow expressed his respect for Keaton's team and commended their talent level offensively.
"I think on their offense, their receivers are as good as any that we have played against in this conference," Barlow said.
Stillman last played Nov. 9.
"We went back like it was training camp and worked on the fundamentals of football," Keaton said. "We have been really working on us."
The time off helped the Tigers reflect on the season and what it will take to beat the Hornets.
"We have worked on finishing, which is one thing that has given us trouble," Keaton said. "If you look at our schedule, we win one then lose one, win again then lose."
Keaton said one thing he always preaches to his players is that it is never about the other team. It's about them, and they can never let the environment dictate their performance.
"We have been trying to keep ourselves focused this week," quarterback Torrance Moise said. "Everyone has been talking about this game all week, and it's all over the social media, but we cannot let us get to us while we are preparing."
So what's the game plan?
Moise said one aspect that will give the Tigers an advantage is their speed.
"We know that they are probably a lot stronger than us, but we are going to try to stretch the field out more and let them chase us," Moise said.
Said freshman running back Rovonta Johnson: "We have been working on our tempo, and since they are bigger than us, we are going to simply make them run."
The 5-foot-7 Moise and 5-6 Johnson are embracing the underdog role.
"We feel no pressure on us, and we can come out and beat any team that we face if we play Stillman football," Moise said.

At this time last week, many Summit County residents figured that the winter season had come to an end. Temperatures were warm and the resorts were gearing up for closing day.
Then the weekend hit, bringing with it a superstorm that piled more than a foot of snow on Copper Mountain and Breckenridge Ski Resort. Closing ceremonies, concerts and festivities continued, with Copper and Vail Mountain celebrating 40th and 50th anniversaries, respectively.
But the storm wasn't finished yet. Both Copper and Breckenridge reported another foot-plus of snow each after closing day, with Vail reporting more than 2 feet.
In response to the sudden increase of snowfall and forecasts that it would continue throughout the week, the three resorts announced that they would briefly reopen for the weekend - April 19, 20 and 21 - giving skiers and riders three more days on the slopes.
The snow also meant the resort towns could expect an influx of visitors at a time when, traditionally, streets are emptying and seasonal staff are leaving the county. The short notice of the resort announcements meant they came too late for some and caused difficulties for others.
Peak Nine Restaurant, for example, closed its doors on Sunday and will not be reopening this season.
"Fortunately, it won't be affecting me at all, because they're just opening Peak 8," said owner Kevin Brown, "which is good because I'd have a very difficult time. My staff, half of them were gone before we closed and the rest of them were leaving shortly thereafter, so I wouldn't have had anybody to man the place."
Also, at the end of the season the restaurant gets rid of the rest of its food and stops deliveries, Brown explained. "It would be real hard to start something up for a weekend."
Restaurants aren't the only businesses affected by the resorts' decision to reopen for the weekend. Steve Lapinsohn owns Main Street Outlet, the North Face store and the Columbia store in Breckenridge.
"We have seasonal workers, but they're done," he said. He would have liked to give them the option to work additional hours, but there wasn't enough advance notice.
Fortunately, he has enough year-round staff to keep his businesses open.
"We're lucky that we haven't let everybody go on vacation yet. We still have a number of people around. We let a lot of people go, but we do have people who can cover."
Lapinsohn said his issue isn't with the act of extending the season, which he believes is a good idea under the circumstances; it's the lack of advance notice.
"I think it's a good thing," he said of the reopening, "but it would have been a better thing had we known about it."
Nevertheless, Lapinsohn is expecting a "decent weekend" in terms of visitor numbers.
Jennifer Hopkins, owner of the Worldly Traveller, also on Breckenridge's Main Street, said that she, too, is looking forward to a final push of visitors through town before the off-season.
"I'm glad, I'm definitely glad," she said. "Any extra reason to give people to actually make the effort and come up is a good thing."
For businesses catering directly to skiers and riders, like Precision Ski and Golf in Frisco, the extended season is a welcome opportunity.
"Maybe things will rev up over the weekend," said owner Jim Deines. "That would be great. A little more energy right at the end of the season, that's a stronger finish."

GlassFish v2 Offline Configuration
By Byronnevins-Oracle on Feb 15, 2010
Review of Clustering Features in GlassFish v2
A typical GlassFish v2 enterprise installation consists of one administration domain controlled by the Domain Administration Server (DAS) which handles all of the administration duties of the domain. The domain provides a common authentication and administration point for a collection of Java EE server instances.
Each JavaEE server instance gets it's configuration from DAS and has its lifecycle controlled by a Node Agent. A Node Agent is a very light-weight process that DAS interacts with. Node Agents and remote Java EE server instances synchronize with DAS during startup to get the latest configuration from the central repository managed by DAS.
GlassFish v2 supports the concept of cluster where multiple Java EE server instances can be grouped for horizontal scalability. Each Java EE server instance in a cluster shares the same set of applications and configuration information.
Typical Configuration
Say you have a running DAS (Domain Administration Server) and you wish to add a cluster, a few instances and a Node Agent running on a separate machine. Here is how you would do an online configuration:
- Login to the new Node Agent machine
- asadmin create-node-agent NA-Name
- asadmin create-cluster
- asadmin create-instance (probably need to run this command a few times)
- asadmin start-node-agent
You can see how if you have a lot of machines this can become a headache. Note that create-instance has many required parameters that I'm not showing here.
Offline Configuration
Offline Configuration lets you do all of the configuration right from the DAS machine. On each Node Machine you run two very simple commands:
- asadmin create-node-agent NA-Name
- asadmin start-node-agent NA-Name
There are several good reasons for developing scripts for offline configuration of complex GlassFish installations:
- You can develop scripts that will exactly recreate your system from scratch. I'm talking about deploying your applications, setting complicated jvm-options, configuring database connections, setting up multiple clusters and instances -- the works! This is very powerful. I have a personal website that has been running v2 for 4 years or so. I can recreate the entire site anytime I like on any new machine that has v2 installed. It has a ton of applications, a database, etc.
- You need the complicated configuration information to be used on just one machine, DAS, in a multiple machine installation.
- You can replace a Node easily at any time
- No restarts are needed during the creation of the instance, cluster and node-agent configuration since it is all being done offline. Once ALL of the configuration is complete everything is started at once and no restarts will be needed. This is a key difference with online configuration.
- Faster to automate a multi-node GlassFish cluster setup with desired configuration.
- It works!
Example Offline Configuration Session
Generally one would want to edit a script and run the script. Here is a an example session to show you how to do it from a command line:
(For clarity the credentials such as --user and --passwordfile are left out of the commands)
- asadmin start-domain
- asadmin create-cluster c1
- asadmin create-node-agent-config na1
- asadmin create-node-agent-config na2
- asadmin create-instance --cluster c1 --node-agent na1 i1_1
- asadmin create-instance --cluster c1 --node-agent na2 i2_1
- asadmin create-instance --cluster c1 --node-agent na2 i2_2
We didn't start anything. All of the commands changed the configuration in the domain.xml. Namely it created 1 new cluster with 2 node agents and a total of 3 instances.
To get everything running we do this:
- For each machine (in this case 2 separate remote machines with v2 binaries installed)
- asadmin create-node-agent na1 or na2
- asadmin start-node-agent na1 or na2
- note: the Node Agent name must match exactly the name in create-node-agent-config above. Otherwise you will get a new Node Agent created!
Example Script
Kedar Mhaswade created the attached example shell script. The script demonstrates how you can automate building a four-machine Enterprise GlassFish v2 Installation.

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
It's cleaning your chimney...a job that is needed to keep your home from going up in flames.
Clevland pope with the chimney sweeps pulls his van into your driveway....
Rolls out his industrial vacuum, shows the homeowner that he is a certified chimney sweeper, and with that the work begins, and there is a check list to abide by to keep your chimney in tip top shape.
"Fireplaces should be checked every year," says chimney sweeper Cleveland Pope.

"Every time I opened my damper soot would fall everywhere so I knew it was time, I actually work with the fire department, here in the city and I know what can happen I have been to many fires, that were caused by dirty chimney's and fireplaces," says homeowner Tim Hartzell.
