1 < (10.30 a.m.)
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving?
3 MR IRVING: My Lord, I have provided your Lordship a copy of
4the fresh off the presses closing speech which I
5would propose to read tomorrow.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: How does that ----
7 MR IRVING: It is 104 pages. It continues from where the
8version left off which I supplied your Lordship yesterday
9and I have also reversed the order what I would call
10sections 2 and 3 of it. If I can say simply it starts off
11with have an opening preamble. It continues, my Lord,
12with a look at some of the historical issues and then only
13after a while does it, after about 30 pages, then go on to
14what I call bundle E matters.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Just so I understand how the two relate to
16one another, I had yesterday from you 56 pages, I think it
18 MR IRVING: Yes.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Are they the first 56 pages?
20 MR IRVING: They are the first 56 pages, but they have been
21cosmetically worked over. I have ----
22 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Have they?
23 MR IRVING: --- a gentleman who I refer to as my political
24correctness editor, he came over and worked over it for
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good. I have read and marked up slightly
1what you gave me yesterday.
2 MR IRVING: That is what I feared. The page numbers will make
3no sense to you now, my Lord, because of the bulk change
4I did. I switched, effectively, sections 2 and 3,
5although they are not numbered, purely to put them into a
6more optimistic up beat sequence.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Right. I will try to -- I see, yes, it is
8completely changed .
9 MR IRVING: When I get back, my Lord, I am sure it will help
10your Lordship if I produce a brief concordance and fax it
11through to your office which will give your Lordship an
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I can probably make my own way through it.
14 MR IRVING: I have put headings in ----
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you very much.
16 MR IRVING: --- which will assist your Lordship. I would also
17just like to say I had not at the time I wrote it had the
18opportunity of reading the Defendants' own statement. So
19it is written in vacuo, so to speak, not that it will
20alter matters, I am sure.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think the theory was there was going to be
22an exchange so that is inevitable.
23 MR IRVING: Effectively, there has been an exchange,
24simultaneous change, because I am sure they have not read
25mine and I have not read theirs.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good. Thank you very much.
1 MR RAMPTON: Your Lordship has got I think now, I hope, a
2complete version of our written submission. All the
3sections are now, I hope, complete.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
5 MR RAMPTON: It is right. I will not not say any more about
6that at the moment. It is over 200 pages of rather dense
7reading. I will tomorrow, as I have your Lordship's
8permission, I think, make a very much shorter summary
9submission orally. I have not written that yet. Your
10Lordship will not find any of the contents of it, having
11regard to this, in the least surprising, I am sure.
12I shall try to make sure that your Lordship gets it and
13Mr Irving in good time before the hearing starts tomorrow.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
15 MR RAMPTON: But I will be surprised if I am on my feet for
16even more than a part of tomorrow morning.
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good. Mr Irving, you are proposing to do the
18same thing, as I understand it?
19 MR IRVING: I was hoping for some kind of guidance from your
20Lordship. If your Lordship would mark in bulk or inform
21me in bulk at some time which passages you felt were not
22proper to deal with orally or in detail. It is a detailed
23submission which I have made to your Lordship and your
24Lordship may feel that some of the matters are too
25detailed to be dealt with in a closing statement.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think I will give you a bit of guidance
1because, having read yesterday's 56 pages, and I do not
2say this critically but it did appear to me that there was
3a great deal on the topic about which you obviously feel
4passionately, namely what you see as being a conspiracy to
5bring your career as an author to a premature end. Those
6are not your words, I appreciate.
7 MR IRVING: I astutely avoided that word.
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, but there is an awful lot on that topic.
9Much of it did not appear to me to have anything to do
10with the Defendants. You may take a different view, but
11I am not sure that the evidence suggests that the
12Defendants are as involved with all the things of which
13you are complaining as you suggest. I, therefore, rather
14doubt whether it would be appropriate for you to use this
15court as a platform for what one might call a general
16attack on the conspirators, as you regard them.
17 MR IRVING: That is precisely the view that I expected from
18your Lordship which I obviously anticipated in the letter
19that I attached to the document.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
21 MR IRVING: I will edit substantially with that in mind before
22I come to make the oral presentation.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
24 MR IRVING: It will remain a part of the submission that I make
25to the court, but it will not be put in the oral part of
26the submission, if I can put it like that.

What about the new pvp power/pvp resi one?
Wowhead suggests that because it can't calculate the effectiveness of the 3% crit modifier, so yeah, you just have to ignore Wowhead suggestions for meta gems (everything else it's very accurate on though). I'll do some math later to determine how the int+crit, mastery, and new pvp power/resi one all compare.

HAGERSTOWN — A warrant has been issued for a 46-year-old man accused of robbing Columbia Bank on Wesel Boulevard at 10:57 a.m. Wednesday.
Charles Sylvester Bolden III reportedly went to a kiosk in the bank at 1571 Wesel Blvd. and wrote a threat and demand for money on a withdraw slip that he handed to a teller, according to Hagerstown police.
The teller complied and Bolden allegedly grabbed the money and ran across Wesel Boulevard and through the Lowe's parking lot. Witnesses told police he got into a white Chevrolet Cavalier with a female driver.
During the investigation, Bolden was uncovered as a suspect and police said his photo matches bank surveillance footage.

Alfred Korzybski
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Korzybski, Alfred)
Alfred Korzybski (3 July 1879 – 1 March 1950) was a Polish engineer, mathematician, and philosopher, most famous for creating the theory of General Semantics.
Manhood of Humanity : The Science and Art of Human Engineering (1921)[edit]
- Let us imagine that the aboriginal-original human specimen was one of two brother apes, A and B; they were alike in every respect; both were animal space-binders; but something strange happened to B; he became the first time-binder, a human. … He had thus a new faculty, he belonged to a new dimension; but, of course, he did not realize it; and because he had this new capacity he was able to analyze his brother "A"; he observed "A is my brother; he is an animal; but he is my brother; therefore, I AM AN ANIMAL." This fatal first conclusion, reached by false analogy, by neglecting a fact, has been the chief source of human woe for half a million years and it still survives. … He [then] said to himself, "If I am an animal there is also in me something higher, a spark of some thing supernatural."
- Chapter: What is Man?
- Humans can be literally poisoned by false ideas and false teachings. Many people have a just horror at the thought of putting poison into tea or coffee, but seem unable to realize that, when they teach false ideas and false doctrines, they are poisoning the time-binding capacity of their fellow men and women. One has to stop and think! There is nothing mystical about the fact that ideas and words are energies which powerfully affect the physico-chemical base of our time-binding activities. Humans are thus made untrue to "human nature." … The conception of man as a mixture of animal and supernatural has for ages kept human beings under the deadly spell of the suggestion that, animal selfishness and animal greediness are their essential character, and the spell has operated to suppress their REAL HUMAN NATURE and to prevent it from expressing itself naturally and freely.
- Chapter: What is Man?
- Such as contribute most to human progress and human enlightenment — men like Gutenberg, Copernicus, Newton, Leibnitz, Watts, Franklin, Mendeleieff, Pasteur, Sklodowska-Curie, Edison, Steinmetz, Loeb, Dewey, Keyser, Whitehead, Russell, Poincaré, William Benjamin Smith, Gibbs, Einstein, and many others — consume no more bread than the simplest of their fellow mortals. Indeed such men are often in want. How many a genius has perished inarticulate because unable to stand the strain of social conditions where animal standards prevail and "survival of the fittest" means, not survival of the "fittest in time-binding capacity," but survival of the strongest in ruthlessness and guile — in space-binding competition!
- Chapter: Capitalistic Era.
- To regard human beings as tools — as instruments — for the use of other human beings is not only unscientific but it is repugnant, stupid and short sighted. Tools are made by man but have not the autonomy of their maker — they have not man's time-binding capacity for initiation, for self-direction, and self-improvement.
- Chapter: Capitalistic Era.
Science and Sanity (1933)[edit]
- The only link between the verbal and objective world is exclusively structural, necessitating the conclusion that the only content of all "knowledge" is structural. Now structure can be considered as a complex of relations, and ultimately as multi-dimensional order. From this point of view, all language can be considered as names for unspeakable entities on the objective level, be it things or feelings, or as names of relations. In fact... we find that an object represents an abstraction of a low order produced by our nervous system as the result of a sub-microscopic events acting as stimuli upon the nervous system.
- p. 20.
- "Say whatever you choose about the object, and whatever you might say is not it." Or, in other wordsː "Whatever you might say the object "is", well it is not." This negative statement is final, because it is negative.
- p. 35.
- The map is not the territory … The only usefulness of a map depends on similarity of structure between the empirical world and the map...
- Edition:Institute of General Semantics, 1995, p. 58.
- Any organism must be treated as-a-whole; in other words, that an organism is not an algebraic sum, a linear function of its elements, but always more than that. It is seemingly little realized, at present, that this simple and innocent-looking statement involves a full structural revision of our language...
- p. 64.
- The main thesis of this non-Aristotelian system is that as yet we all (with extremely few exceptions) copy animals in our nervous processes, and that practically all human difficulties, mental ills … have this … component.
- p. 73.
- Man's achievements rest upon the use of symbols.... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us.
- p. 76.
- The word is not the thing.
- p. 222.
Quotes about Korzybski[edit]
- "What is good in Korzybski's work," they say, "is not new, and what is new is not good." On the other hand, many "Korzybski-ites" proclaim that Korzybski's work has "nothing to do" with semantics. They go so far as to say that the very term "general semantics" was an unfortunate choice; that had Korzybski known what confusion would arise between semantics and general semantics he would not have used it at all. Korzybski himself has maintained that while semantics belongs to the philosophy of language and perhaps to the theory of knowledge, general semantics belongs to empirical science: that it is the foundation of a science of man, the basis of the first "non-aristotelian system," which has had no predecessor and which no academic semanticist has ever achieved.
- Anatol Rapoport in Et Cetera, (1953), p. 14.
- Scientific language, which Korzybski used as his model of sane language, is almost exclusively extensional and denotative, or at least tries to be. The language of the mentally ill, most obviously "un-sane," is almost totally intensional and connotative. This is the language that does not correspond to anything "out there," and this is, in fact, how and perhaps even why the user is mentally ill. Korzybski's concern with keeping the conscious "connection" or correspondence between language and verifiable referents is, for all practical purposes, paralleled by the process of psychotherapy. In this process, which is largely "just talk," the purpose is to foster closer and more accurate correspondence between the patient's language and externally verifiable meanings.
- Neil Postman, Teaching as a Subversive Activity (1969).
- Following Korzybski, I put things in probabilities, not absolutes... My only originality lies in applying this zetetic attitude outside the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, to softer sciences and then to non-sciences like politics, ideology, jury verdicts and, of course, conspiracy theory.
- Robert Anton Wilson, in an interview in High Times (2003).

For the Sony Ericsson MD300, there's a FREE version (called SE I think).
for many modems, network operators and cell phones you need hours to set it up correctly. And you still have no roaming or statistic features. So you have to compare the price to the hours it can save you, and for many customers it means they earn more money spending the saved time than paying for launch2net.

Most of the modems are cheaper than this app!

BRENTWOOD -- School district administrators and board members Tuesday delivered what at times became an emotional apology to parents for the controversial handling of a special-education teacher's discipline.
"I see myself as an advocate for your children and in this case I did not," said Margo Olson, director of special education for Brentwood Union School District, choking back tears.
The district -- which has been lambasted by angry parents of special needs students for the transfer of former Loma Vista Elementary teacher Dina Holder after she kicked a 5-year-old autistic child in 2010 -- also laid out plans to overhaul its mandated reporting training and teacher complaint documentation to better address problem teachers.
The emotionally charged special meeting was less chaotic than the last board meeting where angry parents hurled cat calls at presenters and screamed at district officials. On Tuesday, a group of parents announced the formation of the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education, created to advocate for special needs families and work with the district to prevent such an incident in the future.
Tensions grew after the Times reported earlier this month how the district decided to transfer Holder to another teaching job at a different school rather than fire her after she admitted to the kicking incident. The district agreed to settle with the boy's family for $950,000 and remove Holder from the classroom, two years later.
Halfway through Tuesday's meeting, Margaret Kruse, the assistant superintendent of human resources who determined there was not enough evidence to fire Holder after the incident, stood and apologized.
"Your comments were like daggers in my heart," she told the audience. "We'll never view the same type of decision through the same lens."
She said their decision was "technical" and "legally recommended" and vowed to change.
She said there was a "huge gap" in the district's mandated reporting.
"People did report, but there were delays in reporting and emotions got in the way," she said.
Kruse said every employee, including new hires and eventually substitute teachers, will receive retraining through an online module once she creates a process to ensure that happens.
Kruse said the district will create a school safety plan that will buttress state law on mandated reporting by March 1. Complaints to Child Protective Services or police will be logged, including their responses, she proposed.
One parent suggested that the policy should require those reporting incidents to call police and CPS to avoid the chance that the improper agency gets contacted.
The district will also provide professional development to help administrators properly document and investigate complaints that might not reach mandated reporting thresholds. Training would include recognizing the difference between redirection, physical contact often needed with some special needs students and abuse.
The meeting opened with Superintendent Merrill Grant and board President Carlos Sanabria apologizing and telling parents they hope to work together. Grant later pledged to talk personally with those with issues and meet with the advisory committee.
It was too little, too late for parent Todd Guilliams, who spoke before the board and told them they needed to "divorce Merrill Grant from a leadership job in Brentwood."
Another father addressed trustees, before storming out of the meeting: "I just can't get my head around what took place....I question whether any of you are qualified to be on the board."
Stephanie Stewart handed out to the trustees photos of her son Dylan, who has Down syndrome and spent two years in Holder's class.
"We're forgetting who you guys are supposed to be supporting," she said. "I challenge you to take (the photo) out at every board meeting so you can remember who you are here for."

Building Project: Updates
University of Michigan Museum of Art Announces Temporary Location
The University of Michigan Museum of Art has announced that it will operate a temporary exhibition space—to be called UMMA Off/Site—at 1301 South University Avenue (at the corner of South Forest Avenue) from June 25, 2006 through mid-2008 while the Museum is under construction for its expansion and restoration project. Located immediately adjacent to the University's Central Campus, near much off-campus student housing, and less than a block from the Forest Avenue parking structure, the open 4,000-square-foot space will house temporary exhibitions as well as a modest Museum store. The space will be leased from the First Martin Corporation.
"The Museum has been committed to maintaining its service to the University and the broader community as best we can during this important transitional period. I'm delighted that the Museum will be able to retain a lively Central Campus presence," said UMMA Director James Steward. "The South University neighborhood is an especially vibrant student area, with easy access for the general public, and we look forward to engaging both communities energetically."
The Museum will present four to five exhibitions per year in the temporary space. "The limited amount of space we will have available suggested that we look at a focused exhibition schedule that built on certain themes and artistic media," according to Director Steward.
The first year's slate of exhibitions focuses on photography and the moving image and will include proto-cinematic sculpture by New York artist Gregory Barsamian; Embracing Eatonville, a photographic survey of Eatonville, Florida, the oldest black incorporated town in the United States and the hometown of celebrated Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston; and Imagining Eden: Connecting Landscapes, a long-term study of idealized human-made landscapes by California artist Lyle Gomes.
Ten-foot ceilings and exposed brick walls will lend the space a more "downtown" ambience appropriate to the exploratory projects planned for the space, while remaining a sophisticated exhibition environment. Public hours will be adjusted in order to encourage more diverse social uses of the space and its exhibitions; additional evening hours are planned. More structured educational visits by University and K-12 classes will continue to be arranged and exhibition tours will be presented in the temporary space.
The dramatic nature of the restoration planned for the Museum's current home in Alumni Memorial Hall requires that the existing Museum close for a period of over two years beginning in late June 2006. During this time, it is planned that Museum offices will be relocated to the University's Rackham Building at 915 East Washington. For safety and preservation purposes, most of the Museum's collections will be placed in storage for the duration of the construction period.
The $41.9 million building project expansion and restoration of Alumni Memorial Hall has been designed by architect Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture and will include a 53,000-square-foot addition, as well as the complete restoration and renovation of Alumni Memorial Hall, the elegant Beaux-Arts style building that has been the Museum's home since its foundation in 1946.
The University of Michigan Museum of Art is considered one of the finest university art museums in the country, with more than 17,000 works of art and an ambitious and diverse schedule of special exhibitions and educational programs. UMMA's extraordinary Western, Asian, and African holdings include masterworks by such artists as Dürer, Monet, Picasso, and today's avant-garde, along with well-known collections of Chinese, Japanese, and African art.

The boys were taking formal and stylistic risks aplenty then (starting with Trey's attempts to abdicate onstage leadership!), but playing also with open-hearted fluency and empathy, integrating their decade-old musical tricks and nerd-rock games with brand new dance-pop expressivity. They were still more aggressive and complicated and outright weird than the Dead, but the chaotic/algorithmic noise had smoothed out into accessible post-techno dance music. 1995's roar had faded; the ambient textures of 1998-99 hadn't yet oozed in. Damn, it was a great time for Phish fandom.
It's enough to say: This show is on par with the rest of the best.
So I'll say it again. If you have any interest in Phish, you can feel safe downloading Fall Tour 1997 in its entirety. It's bold, polymorphous, rainbow-coloured music, populist but not pop. It's...well, it's fucking great. Yeah.

HOUSTON -- The A's made a lot of hard contact Wednesday at Minute Maid Field, particularly Coco Crisp, who delivered a two-run homer in the seventh inning that proved to be the difference in a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros.
For catcher John Jaso, the hard hitting cut both ways. He drove in the A's first run with a first-inning, opposite-field homer. But for the second straight day, he had to come out early because he was struck by a hard foul ball that left him with a headache and some dizziness.
For that reason, he had to be checked out for a concussion for the second time in less than 24 hours. It's not clear if he'll be ready to play when the A's start a four-game series in Oakland Thursday night against the Angels, although he probably wouldn't be starting anyway with left-hander C.J. Wilson scheduled to pitch for Anaheim.
Jaso was talking about how he dislikes coming out of games when pitcher Jarrod Parker wandered by and suggested he was on a starting pitcher's schedule -- seven innings and out of the game.
Jaso smiled and took the ribbing in the manner intended.
"I hate coming out like that," he said, "but I was getting pretty dizzy. (Tuesday) when Parker was pitching, I had to call time out after I was hit because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see the pitch. I don't want to let pride get in the way, and I don't want to hurt the team."
Jaso came out of Wednesday's game after a discussion with manager Bob Melvin, a former catcher who knows what it feels like to get hit by a batted ball. Jaso was cleared to make the flight home with the club, although he was still feeling a little dizzy and had a bit of a lingering headache as the A's were packing up and heading out.
"We're not going to mess around with anything like that," Melvin said of the possibility of a concussion. "He told me he had a bit of a headache, and we got him out of there."
Jaso was in the game long enough to see Crisp's decisive home run in a three-run seventh that erased a 3-1 Astros lead. Eric Sogard knocked tiring starter Bud Norris out of the game with a one-out RBI double that trimmed the deficit to one run, and Houston manager Bo Porter asked former A's reliever Travis Blackley to face his old teammate.
Crisp was ready, jumping on an 0-1 pitch and hitting it out to left for his 10th homer.
"It's nice to see the late power these last few games," Crisp said. "That not really part of our game. We don't rely on home runs to win. We go up and battle. We're always out there trying to manufacture runs."
Josh Reddick hit a game-winning two-run homer in the eighth on Monday, and Brandon Moss belted a go-ahead homer in the eighth on Tuesday, though closer Grant Balfour wasn't able to hold it, suffering his first blown save in almost a year and a half.
The Astros were more than willing to play the home run game, too. All three runs allowed by starter A.J. Griffin (9-7) were on home runs, a solo blast by Jose Altuve in the fourth inning that tied the game and a two-run shot by Carlos Corporan in the sixth that landed in the bleachers.
He's allowed 23 homers, putting him among the league leaders in that unwanted category.
"I thought maybe the pitch was going to bounce," Griffin said. "Jaso's getting ready to block the ball in the dirt. And then he (Corporan) goes down and hits it out. I guess the home runs are pretty me. But I'm getting sick of giving them up."
Yes, but not of having them hit on his behalf.
"That was a huge performance by Coco," Griffin said. "After that, the pitching just had to bear down and not mess it up."

Take the example of the European community, it developed because every country made exchanges with all other countries … If one of those countries was constrained to have exchanges only with only one other country it would have been worse for the 1st country, the 2nd country and for the whole European community as well (By the way, English is the 1st foreign language of all European countries). The language barrier for those African countries is inhibiting and impeding countless possibilities for cooperation and development with many countries, therefore, it is harmful to all the countries involved. Our action is aimed to give the necessary support to the African officials to do it and to call for the rejection of any negative policies and practices in the matter that are detrimental to everybody.
In this page you will find all the elements of our "Connect Africa" Campaign aimed to support all African countries in any efforts to modernize its education system or any other part of their government by the use of the English language in order to get them out of isolation. This campaign includes all the countries in Africa where English is not the 1st foreign language (North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa), last regions in the world not to speak English. West Africa and Central Africa are among the poorest regions in the world.

December 6, 2005
Tuesday's runoff is nothing new. This makes three Augusta mayoral races that have ended in a runoff. News 12 takes a look back to see if today's race will follow the trend.
There are many trends when it comes to runoff elections. Augusta voters don't seem to follow any of them.
It may be the first runoff for this little campaigner, but the rest of Augusta is used to them. This is the city's third mayoral runoff in a row. As routine as this is, past results have been mixed.
"I think that's a tribute to really when you have good candidates that are running," Willie Mays said.
In the 1998 election, the front runners were Ed McIntyre and Bob Young. Young came out on top in both the general election and the runoff. But when the two faced off again in 2002, McIntyre won the most votes in the general election, but Young won the runoff. So what about this time around?
"I don't make predictions in runoffs," said Ralph Walker.
Political expert Ralph Walker says this is anyone's game.
"They're very hard because they are so dependent on turn out," Walker said.
And Augusta's runoff turnout bucks the trend. Early voting numbers suggest turnout may be higher in this runoff than the general election in November.
Same story in 1998, almost 9,000 more people turned out for that runoff.
"Why that is I'm damned if I know it. It doesn't happen any place else, Augusta's unique as far as I know," Walker said.
The unpredictable history doesn't seem to matter to this year's candidates.
"I'm not focused on history. I'm focused on Augusta's future, so I'll wait to see what happens today," Deke Copenhaver said.
And for both candidates, what happens today is all that matters.

OAKLAND — Six days ago, the Oakland Coliseum served as the backdrop to one of the most unlikely images Major League Baseball has seen in years.
While pitcher Grant Balfour screamed and triumphantly raised his arms after getting the final out of Oakland's stunning American League West title-clinching win over Texas, television replays showed someone in a Rangers uniform at home plate also raising his arms in celebration.
Shocking, right? Not to those who know Brett Bower, the batboy who for six years has donned the uniforms of the Rangers and every other team that visits Oakland.
Hiding his affection for the A's while wearing the enemy's colors is one of the most difficult aspects of Bower's job, which includes more than just picking up bats and helmets.
"That boy loves his A's,'' said Mikey Thalblum, the A's visiting clubhouse manager, who excused Bower's temporary show of emotion.
For Bower, a 22-year-old Pleasanton resident who will give up his dream job after the A's season ends in order to pursue his teaching credential, watching Michael Young's fly out to center field erased years of frustration
"I love the team and I always take the A's losses hard," said Bower, who will be wearing a Detroit Tigers uniform Tuesday night in Game 3 of the ALDS against the A's. "But I'm usually able to contain my emotions out on the field."
That all changed last week when Young sent a Balfour fastball skyward that landed in Coco Crisp's glove for the game-winner.
"I went to go get Young's bat and I thought I was safe and that I wasn't gonna be in any (TV) replays," Bower said. "It was such a relief moment. A bunch of nobodies stealing the AL West. It was like taking down Goliath. I figured I could just do my own thing and no one would notice.
"Then I saw the replay of me raising my arms and I'm like (darn)."
Truth be told, it marked the second time in five days a TV camera caught Bower rejoicing an improbable A's win at the expense of the visiting team. Bower was working as the Seattle Mariners batboy when Brandon Moss' ninth-inning home run sent the jubilant A's to their 14th walk-off win this year. Bower was seen on TV excitedly rushing to watch the flight of Moss' game-winning blast.
"When Moss hit that walk-off, I thought that was pretty much a playoff clincher, even though we hadn't won anything yet," said Bower. "I was just pumped.
"I assumed like everyone else that this was going to be one of the A's worst seasons. It's more than I expected."
Bower's allegiance to the green and gold is part of a family affair that started years before he landed a job with the team. It began with his dad and mom taking him to 15-20 games per season.
"My mom would even get me out of school to go watch the A's games," said Bower. "We'd go to all the `Dollar Wednesdays.' The A's have always been a big part of my family."
Bower's extended family has grown to include Thalblum and A's assistant clubhouse manager Matt Weiss, which only makes it harder to realize that Tuesday night's game against the Tigers could be the last time he puts on a major league uniform.
"It's going to be hard this off-season knowing that I'm not coming back," said Bower, who graduated from San Jose State and will attend Azusa Pacific to earn his teaching credential after the season ends. His goal is to land a high school teaching job.
His A's devotion aside, Bower has grown to appreciate the visiting teams and players he spends most of his time with at the Coliseum. He puts the Minnesota Twins and their stars, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, at the top of his list of favorites to deal with.
"The Twins are just the best and Mauer and Morneau couldn't be nicer,'' said Bower. "The Twins said I could come and batboy for them anytime I want."
Thalblum says it's not just the Twins who appreciate his hard-working batboy, who also assists the clubhouse crew for hours of preparation and cleaning.
"You won't find a team in Major League Baseball that hasn't said Brett's the best in the league ... the best ever," Thalblum said.
Still, Bower's heart will always remain with the team he grew up with. The one he used to secretly root for while watching them from the other side of the field before the television cameras gave him away.
"The A's and this job feel more a part of me than anything in my life," Bower said. "I couldn't ask for a better job to have. And I couldn't ask for better people as bosses than Mikey and Matt.
"It's definitely been a blast and I'm going to miss it."

VIENNA - A different exercise will soon be available as hula hooping is moving from the playground into the yoga studio.
"What I teach is very different from what you did in the backyard as a kid," said Angie Iafrate, owner of Mid-Ohio Valley Hoopla. "With the right instruction, hula hooping can burn up to 600 calories an hour and it doesn't feel like exercise."
Iafrate will teach classes from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays and from 3 to 4 p.m. on Sundays at Full Circle Yoga at 1515 Grand Central Ave., Vienna, behind the strip, beginning the first week of April.

Angie Iafrate, owner of Mid-Ohio Valley Hoopla, demonstrates moves people will learn in her classes at Full Circle Yoga at 1515 Grand Central Ave., in Vienna. Classes will begin next month and take place on Thursdays and Sundays to give area residents an alternative to traditional exercise.
"Hooping has become popular recently as television shows and health and beauty magazines have been featuring it as a great way to get in shape and have fun," she said.
Iafrate said no experience in using a hula hoop or dance is required to take her classes.
"You just need to want to have fun," she said. "The best part is that it tones the entire body and develops strength without you realizing it.'
Iafrate has been teaching classes around the area since September and received her hula hooping instructor certification by Hoopnotica, a company in Venice Beach, Calif. Iafrate has taught workshops in Vienna and Marietta and hopes to do more to get more people involved in the exercise.
Hooping involves the combination of dance elements with manipulation of an adult-sized hula hoop and helps tone the body, calm the mind, and increase energy.
"The number one reason I became involved in hooping in 2011 was because it is fun," Iafrate said. "It doesn't feel like you are exercising; it tricks you into working out because all you can think of is how much fun you are having."
The classes use an adult hula hoop, which is made and provided by Iafrate.
"These aren't your average kids' hula hoops you can pick up at a toy store," she said. "These are different and they make the classes different."
Iafrate will also hold a hula hoop making workshop that will include a short class from 7 to 9 p.m. on March 16 at the Parkersburg Art Center.
For more information on the art center classes contact the center at 304-485-3859.
Space is limited for the classes and people are asked to contact Full Circle Yoga at 304-656-9854 to register.

It's vacation time. You're focused on your family, a beautiful destination, and having fun.
Maybe too focused.
"Most (burglaries) are a crime of opportunity. We become lazy... whatever it might be, careless... and we don't keep an eye on our stuff," Security expert Bruce Reesman said.
Bruce says don't forget to protect your belongings, even in a locked a hotel room.
"Use the latch, use the door knob block, and use the dead bolt. And hopefully this little device we're going to test today will be another level of security," Bruce said.
That little device is the Ila Security Wedge Door Alarm. It claims to sound an alarm if someone tries to break in. And it promises to prevent the door from opening all the way.
We bought it for $18.95. That does not include shipping.
The instructions say all we have to do is turn it on and it's ready to go. Bruce turns it on and wedges it under the door. Then I try to "break-in."
"I think that would wake you up," Bruce said as the alarm went off.
But the Wedge Door Alarm didn't stop the door from opening. Bruce thinks the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor was too wide. And, he thinks the Wedge Door Alarm would work better on carpet. So, we find another room and set it up the same way.
"And it stops the door," Bruce said.
Not only does it stop the door. It sounds an alarm too. This security expert likes the results of this testing.
Does it work?
"It does," Bruce said.
The instructions say the alarm will sound for up to ten minutes if it's not turned off. And, the company says the battery is designed to last for at least three years.

A Day in the Vineyard
Vijay Kripalani
Tasting room director, Swirl on the Square
Vijay Kripalani is a fixture at this Livermore wine bar, pouring sips and flights and sharing his expertise. He particularly enjoys wine tasting with friends from his wine classes because, he says, "we are all enjoying the same wine and approaching it through the same procedure, but all kinds of ideas and thoughts are expressed." This is a wine route he would do with one of those friends.
Page Mill Winery: "Dane (Stark) is an artist when it comes to making wine his own," Kripalani says. "All of his wines are wonderfully balanced, and he is one of the only local guys to make his own sparkling wine. The winery is hidden in a vineyard behind trees, and since all the production is done on site, you can get a taste of the life of a winemaker."
1960 S. Livermore Ave., Livermore; www.pagemillwinery.com
Ruby Hill Winery: "Winemaker Chris (Graves) has a full library of local varietals and shows how different winemaking procedures can change a single varietal so much. It is impossible to walk in their gorgeous tasting room and not fall in love."
400 Vineyard Ave., Pleasanton; www.rubyhillwinery.net
Steven Kent Winery: "Steven Mirassou's winery showcases Bordeaux varietals grown in the Livermore Valley. Quality of fruit is paramount here, so expect very small production with big and bold flavors. Pop into La Rochelle Winery next door for unbelievable Burgundian varietals -- chardonnay and pinot noir -- from around the state."
5443 Tesla Road, Livermore; www.stevenkent.com
Lunch: Underdog Wine Bar: "Naturally, Swirl on the Square is my first choice for lunch, but another wine country staple is the Underdog Wine Bar in Concannon's beautiful winery. Underdog takes a global approach to tapas, each dish acting as a snapshot of different culinary traditions. They also have a top-notch world wine list."
4590 Tesla Road, Livermore; http://udws.com/underdog-wine-bar
Java stop: Panama Red Coffee Company: "This is a major social hub in the heart of downtown. You'll find a diverse group of people and myriad teas and coffee beverages -- I'm a huge tea person. The interior is decorated with books and games to provide a very 'living room' feel, and you might catch some live music if you stop by in the evening."

WVU fans look for scapegoat
January 1, 2013
It never fails....
So we will be entering next year with under 70 student athletes under scholarship. Not going to cut it in the Big 12 or any other large football conference. The average fan does not understand that depth (and overall skill) of the roster effects each Saturday's outcome. Holgi has his hands full and this is not going to be a quick fix. Increased numbers in the each class and athletic ability will determine how long Holgi stays or wants to stay at WVU. Look for more JUCOs at DubV. Hold on boys it's goen to be a bumpy ride for a year or two more.
Mr. Butta you may want to investigate to see how many athletes we had on scholarship during the Nehlen, RR, and Stewart eras. The average fan would probably be amazed that we never had 85 scholarships players on the sidelines although we were the "Beast in the Big East".
Different beast now days in the Big 12.

The "scapegoat" is with the media (yes you Butta) and obnoxious fans who talked smack all off-season about how your team was going to slice through the B12 like a warm knife through hot butter on your way to an NC! I guess you based it solely on the anomaly of winning the Orange Bowl last year...of course the rest of college FB felt you were overrated and would meet your demise - much like you have.

Interesting through the first 5 games....nobody was talking about the roster and scholarships at that point. Excuses. Two things matter in college football. $ and W's

Hey Butta, here is an idea. Put the blame on the recruit failures where it belongs, the coaches and recruiters. Stop talking to the players who have a history of authority problems, do some flipping research before you offer to a kid with a history of failure. If the recruiters and coaches would do some investigation of these kids background and character, maybe that would help!! Everyone deserves a second chance, but many of these kids have had a dozen chances just in one year. Hey recruiters, here is a quote for you; "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Stop sighting trash, you may have some success. Oh course that's just my thought, who can argue the logic of sports writers like Butta and Poe?
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I understand writers like Poe and Butta want to write great things about WVU. They are true WV fans such as I am. (I graduated from the school ) What gets me is that some people are not being realistic, they build up this hype, then they lose. An old saying, shut up and play, let your actions speak for themselves. Stop the hype because when you fail to succeed, everyone is going to let you you have it. Whenever WVU gets in the top 15 rankings, they get cocky, they lose. Been going on that way for 15 years now. The bowls that WVU has been attending is getting worst
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is not the first time West Virginia has lost a bowl game and it won't be the last either.The expectation level for fans was way beyond reason when Dana H.got the coaching position. Let us not forget that since joining the Big East in 1991 we have only won "that" conference 7 times in 20 years. Only time will tell how many times we will win the Big 12 championship, if we ever do. It is a lot tougher league overall than the Big East. You could always figure at least 5 or 6 wins in the big East but there are no easy games in the Big 12.

In celebration of Hanukkah we had a friendly dreidel battle and partook in a traditional Hanukkah treat -doughnuts.
Dreidel playing is a fun Hanukkah tradition using a spinning top. We decided to play our own version- where we timed player's spin and the longest spins won yummy chocolate coins (Hanukkah gelt).
The traditional way to play dreidel -you will need a dreidel and some coins (but you can use anything; buttons, pretzels, or other small easily counted items). All players begin by placing equal amounts into the "pot." Than each person takes a turn spinning the dreidel.
If it lands on:
Nun– get nothing
Gimmel– take the whole pot.
Hay– take half the pot.
Shin– pay two into the pot.
For more fun Hanukkah facts and fun check out the links below:
Wikipedia has a ton of information.

3.1-6 Proximate Cause - Intervening Cause
Revised to January 1, 2008
In this case, the defendant
asserts that (he/she/it) did not legally cause the plaintiff's injury
because another cause, proceeding entirely from an independent source,
intervened to produce that injury after the defendant's own alleged act[s]
of negligence had already occurred. In particular, the defendant claims
that the plaintiff's injury was legally caused by <describe the alleged
conduct which the defendant claims to have been an intervening cause of the
plaintiff's injury>.
Negligent conduct can be a
proximate cause of an injury, even if it is not the nearest or the most
immediate cause of the injury. Thus, when the act of a third person or some
other intervening cause operates actively to produce the injury after the
defendant's negligent act or omission has been committed, the defendant's
negligence is a proximate cause of the injury if the following (two / three)
part test is satisfied:
First, the defendant's negligence
must have been a substantial factor in bringing about the plaintiff's
injury. <See
Proximate Cause - Substantial Factor, Instruction 3.1-4.>
Second, the plaintiff's injury
must have been harm of the same general nature as that which a reasonably
prudent person in the defendant's position should have anticipated. <See
Proximate Cause - Foreseeable Risk, Instruction 3.1-7.>
<Read the next section only in
cases where evidence of superseding cause has been introduced.>
Third, the intervening cause which
actively operated to produce the injury after the defendant's negligent act
or omission was committed must not have been a superseding cause of the
plaintiff's injury. <See
Proximate Cause - Superseding Cause, Instruction 3.1-8.>
Fleming v. Garnett, 231 Conn. 77, 86
(1994), citing Doe v. Manheimer, 212 Conn. 748, 758 (1989).
An intervening cause is any
cause proceeding entirely from an independent source that "breaks the line
of causation" from the defendant's allegedly wrongful act to the plaintiff's
complained-of injury. See generally Edwards v. Tardif, 240 Conn.
610, 615 (1997). A superseding cause, by contrast, relieves a negligent
defendant of legal responsibility for the plaintiff's complained-of harm
without breaking the line of causation between the negligence and the harm.

Parish anticipating major tree park
Published: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
The Terrebonne Parish Council is expected to approve a grant application Monday for a major tree-planting project at one of the parish's gateway corridors.
The Terrebonne Parish Tree Board wants to apply for a $10,000 development grant from the Houma Area Convention and Visitors Bureau tourism development sponsorship program to plant 64 trees and 70 shrubs within the large cloverleaf area at the U.S. 90 and La. 311 corridor.
"The Tree Board is trying to get that area to look better because it is a gateway entrance to the parish," said Tree Board member Barton Joffrion.
The chosen trees are cypress and live oaks. The surrounding shrubs will be wax myrtle and pampas. The trees that will be planted are already 8 to 10 feet tall.
The job is expected to cost about $30,000.
The Tree Board has about $13,000 in its budget.
The group plans to join with other organizations for additional money, said Laura Browning, Tree Board chairwoman.
"This is a major project for us, and it is part of our mission of conserving and planting public green spaces in Terrebonne Parish for our generation and for future generations to enjoy," she said. "These trees are going to arrive as mature plantings so they'll make an immediate impact."
The state Department of Transportation and Development has issued the parish a permit to plant the trees. The permit expires toward the end of July.
"These projects are for enhancing tourists' and visitors' experience when they come to the parish using this major entry corridor," said Chris Pulaski, parish senior planner. "This is a big project for the Tree Board. I'm glad they have the ambition to do it."
The landscape design for the project comes from Dana Brown and Associates, a Baton Rouge-based landscape architectural firm that also did the designs for Houma's downtown Bayou Walk.
Several local landscape contractors have been approached for the project, Pulaski said, but a company hasn't been selected.
Pulaski said the window of opportunity to plant trees is looming.
"The hotter it gets, the harder it is for trees to get established," he said. "Because there's no irrigation system associated with this project, we are relying mainly on Mother Nature to provide water."
The contract with the landscapers, however, will involve watering the trees for 30 days, Pulaski said.
Given that the trees are native to Louisiana, Pulaski said, they should grow fine.
"I think this project is going to go a long way to see how a Tree Board can be an asset to a community," Pulaski said.
All council meetings are open to the public, which can comment on any item before the council.

Getting home from work is no easy trek for Tick Trecartin. Although the view can't be beat, he still has to walk several blocks from his office and catch a ferry each and every day. Even though he's done it for decades, this routine almost became unbearable.
"I knew I had a problem."
After suffering from arthritis for years, Rick went in for a knee procedure. He came out with MRSA, an antibiotic resistant infection.
"All of a sudden, I started getting this puss out of the lesion of the leg where they had cut my skin," said Rick Trecartin, Arthritis Sufferer.
The infection was in Rick's bone, just two centimeters from his knee joint. If it got inside the knee, doctors might have amputated his leg. But orthopedic surgeon Amir Matityahu had a different plan.
"You need to stop it as soon as possible to take care of the infection."
First, he cleaned out Rick's bone and placed hardware inside to keep it stable. Then, he implanted a wafer filled with antibiotics near the knee. The high dose of antibiotics spread to the surrounding area, killing the bacteria.
"Bone basically heals without scar."
After six weeks of antibiotics, bone from Rick's hip was transferred to his leg to replace what had deteriorated. Now, Rick's bone has completely healed.
"I just had a blood test to see if I had any indications of infection, and I don't."
"If that infection got worse, he could have lost his leg," said Amir Matityahu, M.D., Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery.
The next step for Rick is a knee transplant. He feels lucky to have that option.
"Amir saved my leg, and in the process saved my life."
A grateful patient who's looking forward to getting out of the doctor's office and on with his life.

All aboard mates, Geo is a pirate this Halloween! Chocolate-y graham crackers add flair to these cute as can be cupcakes.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Spoon 1/4 cup of vanilla frosting into a plastic resealable bag. Tint 3 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting yellow with the food coloring. Spoon it into a resealable bag. Seal the bags.
Divide the remaining vanilla frosting in half. Tint one half light pink with a drop of red food coloring. Tint the other half blue with the neon blue food coloring. Spoon the neon blue frosting into a resealable bag. Tint the dark chocolate frosting black with the food coloring. Spoon the black frosting into a resealable bag. Seal the bags.
Cut the graham crackers in half crosswise to make 12 squares. Cut a 1 1/2 inch semicircle from one corner of each graham square. Round the corners with a small knife. Repeat with the remaining graham crackers.
Spread the pink frosting in a thin layer on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Snip a small corner from the bags with the blue and yellow frosting. Pipe an outline of the blue area with the blue frosting. Fill in with more blue frosting and make smooth. Pipe a line of yellow frosting along the edge of the blue frosting.
Pipe a very small corner from the bag with the black frosting. Pipe the eye patch, eye, and mouth with the black frosting. Pipe the blue hair with the blue gel.
Place the graham cracker at the top of the cupcake as the pirate hat. Use a pretzel stick to help support the graham cracker hat. Snip a small corner from the bag with the vanilla frosting. Pipe an outline of the hat and the skull and crossbones. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.

Not Even Giving In To the Sudden Rain
this wiki
Not Even Giving In To the Sudden Rain (ニワカ雨ニモ負ケズ, Niwaka Ame ni mo Makezu), performed by NICO Touches the Walls, is the thirteenth opening of Naruto: Shippūden. It began in episode 307 and ended in episode 332. It was succeeded by Size of the Moon.
Jyū yoku gō wo seishimashite
Gō yoku jyū mo tatsu
Muchū de kakkō tsuketara
Hijyōberu ga naru
Gojyuppo ijyō mo saki aruite
Chototsuōshin na sutairu
Jiyū de kibunya no
Kimi ha dōyattatte mushi
Dare ni mo tokenai nazo ga aru
Fukidashita kaze ni furueteru
Kono meiro wo hodoite yaru
Kimi ga waratta ashita ha ame kai
Sōmei na hikari ga chikachika hikaru
Me wo korasanakucha mirai ga kawatte shimau
Mae ni kitto kitto ima wo saratte iku
Kimi to jyanakucha mirai ha kawaite shimau no kamo
Isoge kitto ima wo waratte iku
柔よく剛を制しまして 剛よく柔も断つ
夢中で格好つけたら 非常ベルが鳴る
五十歩以上も先歩いて 猪突猛進なスタイル
自由で気分屋の君は どうやったって無視
誰にも解けない謎がある 吹き出した風に震えてる
君が笑った 明日は雨かい?
聡明な光が チカチカヒカル
目を凝らさなくちゃ 未来が変わってしまう前に
きっと きっと今をさらっていく
君とじゃなくちゃ 未来は渇いてしまうのかも
急げ きっと今を笑っていく
The willow branch ties strong wood together
yet strong wood cuts the branch
If you are going through the motion
an alarm should go off
Getting too far ahead is really reckless
You are really emotional
you don't care how you get your fix
There's a puzzle that no one can solve
trembling in the blowing wind
Come on and unravel the labyrinth
You are laughing and having fun
but tomorrow will it rain?
The light of wisdom is flashing before your eyes
You better adjust your vision
before the future changes once more
And for certain you can
seize the moment for yourself
It's better if we are together
because the future might vanish
Hurry up and be sure to smile while we still can
The characters in order of appearance:
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Tsunade
- Ōnoki
- Mei Terumī
- Gaara
- Sasuke Uchiha
- Obito Uchiha
- Madara Uchiha
- Kurama
- Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki
- This is the third song by NICO Touches the Walls used in Naruto media, the first and second songs were "Broken Youth" and "Diver".
- This is the first opening in the Naruto: Shippūden and overall Naruto series in which none of the Konoha 11 appear except Naruto.
- There is an animation error during the scene where the Raikage attacks Madara's Susanoo. As he is attacking, A regains his left arm.
- This opening features many symbols/images that can be linked to the Japanese festival of Tanabata such as Naruto carrying a branch of bamboo with wishes attached to them and the constant recurring of lights.
- Naruto can be seen standing on a furry surface at the end, perhaps hinting the physical presence of Kurama.

I know I'm missing something, so please excuse the simple question, but I can't seem to find a solution.
I'm attempting to install and use pmsencoder. I've followed the instructions and am now trying to test my set up to ensure it's working, with the provided WEB.conf file.
When I start PMS on Mac osx 10.6, it finds the pmsencoder plugin, without errors. My PS3 finds the PMS. However, there is no web folder. Is there something additional I need to do enable to make the web stream appear on my ps3?

if you finished week 1 - go to week 2.... every week I felt "I dont know if I can do it!!!" But I always have - so far anyway - lol... I have just finished week 5
I agree - If you completed W1D3 then you should go on. I define completed that you were able to complete all of the running intervals in reasonable comfort (NOT EASY! REASONABLE)
If you were not able to complete all of the running intervals then you might want to repeat W1D3 until you can.
Good luck!

W7:D1 down! I am amazed how quick the recovery is at this point. Usually after running 2.5 miles I'd be able to milk it for a couple of days w/ my wife sayn' I was sore, but it doesnt seem to be working anymore... . Singed up for a 5k race on 8/13 which should put me right at the end of week 9. Still hanging aroung the 10:30/11:00 minute mile mark. I'd be happy with that for the 5k but would love to really get it down to a 10min mile or less. It would be so cool to run a 5k in under 30 mins and I feel like I'm really close to being able to do that but want to make sure I work towards the distance 1st, time 2nd.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement! I'll try wk2d1 on mon and see how it goes.
Military Challenge Complete!
finished in 1:05 - had a few obstacles where you had to wait for people to climb over ,crawl through, etc. but what a blast.
Now I'm just focusing on getting my distance built up for the half-marathon next month (September 4).
I'm hoping to finish in 3.5 hours, running more than I walk.
I've been increasing my distance each week - I'm up to 14 miles for the week, with tomorrow being my "long run" of 5 miles (3.5 miles done today, so I'll finish the distance tomorrow)
Still considering repeating some days of the week 5 run during the week with the long run on the weekend just to get my pace back on target. Last week I did 4.5 miles in an hour, so I'm thinking I'll shoot for 5 miles in 1.5 hours (legs feel sore right now).
Signed up for a 10K as well in October.
July done - been running for 2.5 months now - can't believe how much I can do. What will my posts say in another 2.5 months

So happy to have finished W6D3!!!
Legs started to fatigue after 15 min of running.
Pushed through it to make it through the last 10 min
with NO STOPS ! Yeah! Next 3 runs are the same so I am hoping
to up the pace a bit but still remain somewhat comfortable. I am
thrilled that my breathing kicks into a steady even cadence now.
When I focus on my breathing I tend to forget the tiredness of my
legs. Also, I am noticing that my "runners high" isn't as annoying as it
used to be!
Keep On Runnin'
I did it -- I made it through 25 minutes and finished W6!
The first ten minutes went quickly and uneventfully -- it felt as if they were gone before I even noticed. The next ten minutes I increased my pace slightly but I didn't have much issue although it was more of an effort. The last five minutes were the toughest. But by that point, there was no way I wasn't going to finish!
I can't believe I'm done with the walking intervals -- at least until I move onto the next program.
Three more runs of 25 minutes. I hope the next one is a bit easier.
Happy running everyone.
C25K started on 06/19/11 and completed on 08/22/11!
8/6/11 -- Inaugural Harrisburg Hydro 5k Walk/Run (not timed)
Hey Lisa ~
My physical therapist gave me a rather large list of running shoes to choose from. I'd be happy to scan it and email it to you.
Just let me know!
I start the final week tomorrow morning, should of ran today but the weather had other plans for my house and yard... so tomorrow starts the final week!
AND today, total spur of the moment, not really sure why I did it, BUT I signed up for a 5k, to run this saturday! I have yet to run further than 2.75 mi, so hopefully, that extra .35 mi won't kill me
Question for those of you that enter in these runs, how do you warm up? I want to run the whole 5k from the start, not walk 5 min from the start line then run the rest of the way...
Finished up Week 7 yesterday. Pushed myself a little bit and was able to run the 1st 1.25 mile in 9:42. The 2nd was a bit slower at 10:22, but overall an average of 10:02 on the 2.5 mile run & I'm pretty happy! Resting today and starting the 2.75 mile runs tomorrow. Don't plan on hitting that 10 min mile mark on the 1st run, but trying to hit it by W8:D3.
Tonight was W7D1 for me. There was good news and there was bad news.
The good news is that I finished and this 2nd 25 minute run was actually a little easier than the 1st one at the end of W6. I also did this 2nd run with only one day's rest.
The bad news is that I had to slow down by a whole minute per mile (to a 13:00m mile) for half of the run. For whatever reason, I guess that was what my body could handle tonight.
Some days there are great runs, some days there are good runs, some days there are disappointing runs. I figure my body is working on improving my aerobic capacity and as long as I ran a challenging pace tonight, I'm where I need to be.
Happy running everyone!
C25K started on 06/19/11 and completed on 08/22/11!
8/6/11 -- Inaugural Harrisburg Hydro 5k Walk/Run (not timed)
I started on June 19th. I have never ran before then and truly was a couch potato. I have enjoyed reading all the posts up to now. I completed Week 7 Day 1 this morning. I thought this 25 minutes was harder than Week 6 Day 3. I ran 2 miles on both runs, so at least I'm consistent. I think the first mile feels good, but the second mile is so hard. The heat here in Texas isn't helping any either. We are having 110 days and it was still 88 this morning at 5:45 AM! Really ready to run in cooler weather.

November 22, 2012 (Dallas Turkey Trot 8 miles) - 1:33:08 (avg 11:38 a mile)
Just completed W7D1
I agree with Running Queen, it seemed more challenging
than the 1st 25min straight run of W6D3!
This time my calves and ankles started to hurt a bit at the
15 min mark. I slowed my pace a bit and it helped my calves
but I barely made 2miles by the end of the run!
A rather disappointing run today, but it was completed.
Keep On Runnin'
Funny how three of us had the same experience with w7d1! I do the 3rd 25 min run tomorrow so I will let you know how I do. Happy running everyone!

Latest IPCC Report Deliberately Excludes, Misrepresents Important Climate Science
Is man-made global warming a crisis? Don't just wonder about it, understand it yourself. Read one or a few chapters of one of the NIPCC reports, and ask if what you read is logical, factual, and relevant to the debate.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The No. 73 Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis team will begin the 2012 season on Thursday afternoon in a 3 p.m. contest against No. 53 New Mexico State at the New Mexico State Tennis Complex. The match will be the first of a four-match, five-day road trip in the state.
The Islanders come into the season with five returners from the 2011 Southland Conference Regular-Season and Tournament Champion team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in a four-year span. For Director of Tennis Steve Moore, it was the fourth-straight regular season title for the team and third tournament title in the past four years. The team also has been ranked in the NCAA Top 50 in each of the last four seasons.
The returners will be led by seniors Aurelien Tave, Nathan Robinson and Andrew Maingot, with junior Gergo Weidinger and sophomore Matt Westmoreland rounding out the group. The team will also feature three newcomers in freshmen Pietro Jordao of Brazil, Fernando Llorens from Spain and Peter Nagy of Hungary.
The trio of freshman will complement the group of returners that fell to Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Championships a year ago. The Islanders lose their top two players in Laurent Montoisy and James Langford, but the familiar faces continue to be part of the program as student assistants this year.
Against New Mexico State, the Islanders will face a familiar opponent, having played the Aggies during the first week of the season the past two years. After the first match on Thursday, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will play in Las Cruces, N.M. two days later against Utah State on Saturday, Jan. 21. Following the first two matches of the year, the Islanders travel to Albuquerque for a pair of back-to-back matches on the 22nd and 23rd.
On the 22nd, Nevada and Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will square off in a neutral court match at the Linda Estes Tennis Center. The trip finishes on the 23rd in a match between the Islanders and No. 53 New Mexico on the Lobos home court.

Monday, July 9, will see the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the cornerstone dedication at the Cooper County Courthouse. The ceremony, presented by Cooper Lodge #36, will include an address by Presiding Commissioner Eddie Brickner.
The event, scheduled to take place between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., will include old-fashioned root beer floats and cookies. A powerpoint presentation featuring historic pictures will be joined with an open house, available for tour by the public.
"We're planning for somewhere between 100-200 guests to show up. As far as we can tell, there has not been any other marker-type events like this that have celebrated with cornerstone dedication at 50 or 75 years. This is the first, and we hope to see a good public turnout," said Brickner.
Boonville's courthouse was built in 1912 by Robert G. Kirsch Jr. The architect was responsible for the construction of several courthouses throughout Missouri. The counties of Carroll, Adair, Vernon and Polk all bare structures by his name. Additionally, Kirsch built courthouses in Texas and Illinois.
Kirsch was also responsible for building the Miner's Theatre in Collinsville, Illinois, and his name is attached to the National Register of Historic Places through his design work.
