I'm trying to run the "Enable-PSRemoting –force" command in order to enable remote script execution on the Local and Remote machine (Could be a VM).
But I getting the following error message:
I have read the above error message, but I didn't understand what to do.
Can you pleae, expalin to me step by step how to fix the above issue?
Important note: I'm trying to control remotely VMs as explained in the post http://powershell.com/cs/forums/p/8571/14049.aspx#14049.
One of the networking cards has it's network type set to public. Firewall exceptions do not work with public network type connections (since there are no exceptions for public network). Change the network connection type to eitehr Domain or Private and try again.
Thank you very much for the reply,
I'm using the following script in order to add a VM NIC (On HyperV):
Add-VMNIC -vm $vm -VirtualSwitch "MyNet"
How can I set its type to Domain or Private?
Add-VMNIC only adds the virtual hardware. The public/private setting is in Windows itself, and as far as I know can't currently be configured with PowerShell (not easily in any event). So you'll need to set it within the VM. It isn't a Hyper-V setting.
Thank you for your reply,
can you please send me a step-by-step instruction about how to do that manually?
Well, no :). There's Windows' Help and Microsoft Product Support for that. It's a basic function of the operating system - it's worth taking the time to learn about it.
There's also Google. Here... that I can help you with: http://bit.ly/yJzofY
Thank you for the reply, I found the problem source.
I used the below script in order to create a seesion between a local machine and the remote one (In my case the VM which I need to control remotely):
Enable-PSRemoting -force
$TestAdminCred1 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList ".\Administrator",$("VMPassword" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
New-PSSession -ComputerName tempDC1 -Credential $TestAdminCred1
Invoke-Command -ComputerName tempDC1 -FilePath .\tempDC1.ps1
tempDC1.ps1 includes some scripts that are needed to executed on the VM.
The VM username is Administartor and the password is VMPassword.
Can you please explain to me the above error message and to fix it?
The first error is the important one. The second command didn't work because the New-PSSession command failed.
It's telling you that it was unable to authenticate. Your screen shot doesn't include the entire error message, but it appears as if your machine was unable to contact an authentication server - in a domain environment, that would be an Active Directory domain controller. If you're trying to authenticate to a local machine, then you have to enable an authentication protocol other than Kerberos in WinRM. Read the "about_remote_troubleshooting" help file for information about authenticating WinRM in a non-domain scenario.
I have read that document, but I still have a problem with the credentials. Below is a sample topology of my servers. I have permission to run the script only from MainHost. the MainHost server has a HyperV Manager, so I can see all VMs that belongs to Hyperv54 and HyperV56. Also, I can control that VMs without facing any problem (For example, adding NICs and other operations). But... by trying to control the VM remotely from MainHost using the following script, I get the error message (I attached it in previous post):
$TestAdminCred1 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "TEMPDC1\Administrators",$("VMPassword" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)New-PSSession -ComputerName tempDC1 -Credential $TestAdminCred1
In the above script, I don't understand how to refer to the required host (HyperV54 or HyperV56).
Please, I still need your help regarding this issue.
It is very appreciated to send me the modified script.
I'm sorry - I don't think I understand what you're trying to do.
A couple of things.
First, create a new credential using Get-Credential, not New-Object. Dunno where you dug up that syntax, but it's unnecessary.
You don't "reference the required host." New-PSSession has no knowledge of virtualization, and it doesn't care. You provide the computer name of the machine you want to establish a session to. New-PSSession will use DNS and Active Directory to locate the machine specified and open a session to it - there's no need to provide its Hyper-V host machine's name.
In order for Remoting to work using the default settings, both MainHost and tempDC1 must be in the same Active Directory domain. This is because Remoting needs to establish mutual authentication and a secured session. If they are in different domains, then you need to read the "HOW TO ENABLE REMOTING FOR ADMINISTRATORS IN OTHER DOMAINS" section in about_remote_troubleshooting.
The error you're getting is indicating that PowerShell can't establish an authentication for TEMPDC1\Administrators. That's likely because MainHost is in a different domain, or in no domain at all, and PowerShell can't locate a domain controller for the TEMPDC1 domain, or TEMPDC1 server. I'm assuming TEMPDC1 is a machine name; if it isn't a domain controller, then TEMPDC1\Administrators is the correct credentials, but you need to read the "HOW TO CONNECT REMOTELY FROM A WORKGROUP-BASED COMPUTER" section of the about_remote_troubleshooting file.
This is purely a question of authentication. MainHost must be able to contact a logon server for whatever credential you provide, and it's telling you that it cannot do so.
Thank you for the reply,
1) I have read the HOW TO ADD A COMPUTER TO THE TRUSTED HOSTS LIST section, but I still don't understand how should I refere to the required host and to the required VM, I mean, I need to add a VM called 'tempDC1' which belongs to the hyperv56 host to TRUSTED HOSTS LIST.
I used the following commnad:
$TestAdminCred1 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "TEMPDC1\Administrators",$("VMPassword" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)set-item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Credential $TestAdminCred1 -Value tempDC1 -Force
get-item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
And here is the result:
2) How can I execute a function (For example, set IP address) on tempDC1 remotely? I'm not asking you about the script itself, but I'm asking you about how to execute it on tempDC1.
Please, I need your help,
On tempDC1, run Enable-PSRemoting and ensure the command runs without error.
On your client computer, where you added tempDC1 to the rusted hosts list, run:
Invoke-command -computer tempdc1 -script { whatever }
"whatever" can be any command or script that is present on tempdc1. Any command or function located in a module must be loaded into memory (eg. Import-Module) first.
The fact that tempdc1 is a virtual machine is not relavent. You do not need hyperv56 involved in any way.
On the front page of PowerShell.com, in the side banners, is advertised a free ebook on PowerShell Remoting. If you haven't read that, consider doing so. It's a very good resource, and it's completely free.
Don Jones:First, create a new credential using Get-Credential, not New-Object. Dunno where you dug up that syntax, but it's unnecessary.
The original syntax uses a simple hack to create a credential object without needing to prompt the user. It's a common approach used in testing, etc. In my classroom(s), "P@ssw0rd" is a commonly used password - so why bother to prompt for it when I can just create credential objects.
Now if you are going to make the point that Get-Credential approach is more secure - well yes there is that. But sometimes convenience and ease of use make security less important.
I got the following error message:
Below is my script that I'm using on the HyperV host side:
Enable-PSRemoting –force
#Set the IP address, MAC address and DNS function Set-IPAddress { param( [string]$networkinterface = "Wired Ethernet Connection 2", [string]$ip = "192.168.0.1", [string]$mask = "255.255.255.0", [string]$dns1 = "127.0.0.1" ) #Start writing code here $dns = "127.0.0.1" if($dns2){$dns =$dns1} $index = (gwmi Win32_NetworkAdapter | where {$_.netconnectionid -eq $networkinterface}).InterfaceIndex $NetInterface = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | where {$_.InterfaceIndex -eq $index} $NetInterface.EnableStatic($ip, $mask) $NetInterface.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($dns) } $TestAdminCred1 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "TEMPDC1\Administrators",$("VMPassword" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)invoke-command -computername tempDC1 -Credential $TestAdminCred1 -scriptblock { Set-IPAddress }
Can you please, explain to me why I'm getting the above error and how to solve it?
The error message suggests it can't find tempDC1 - you might want to resolve that problem first.

I have made a drawing of a cupboard including 2 washbasins. Each washbasin is an ellipse totally englobed in the rectangular cupboard, but not touching the cupboard frame. The cupboard and the washbasins are in the same layer.
http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?fi ... S3TB48.JPG
(NB : I couldn't use the "embed" method...using "http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/<IMAGE-ID>")
Drawing hatch for the cupboard is rather easy but if it's OK to select the frame of the cupboard, I can't select the ellipses to avoid the hatch to be drawn inside these. Therefore the whole cupboard rectangle gets the hatch.
Selecting another layer for the color for the ellipses, I select the frame of each ellipse. Seems to be OK but when I draw the hatch, I'm told that no frame is selected.
I first guessed a simple form like a cercle or an ellipse is not considered as a true frame as it is made of 1 entity only.
However hatching is OK for a circle, even if it's also made of 1 entity only. Selecting as frame this circle, with the circle layer active, allows me to hatch its internal area.
I thought I could do the same for the ellipses. As the original ellipses are part of the cupboard drawing and layer, I duplicate the ellipses to be part of the basin fill color layer. I select one ellipse frame but hatching is unsuccessful : no contour selected !
So an ellipse is not considered equally as a cercle for hatching !
I hope I can be understood...

Sorry I just installed ubuntu a few days ago and am feeling the growing pains so this is probably a noob question. Basically, I installed PMS and it runs but it doesn't recognize any of my other hard drives when I try to share them. They show up in ubuntu under devices but PMS can't see them. Samba doesn't see them either. Any advice?
Thanks for your time!

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The wait is over, and the whispers of skepticism can be put to rest.
Football followers in bars and barber shops and fantasy leagues can stop wondering if Michael Crabtree is capable of producing in the NFL as he did in his brief but fabulous college career.
He is.
The fourth-year 49ers wide receiver is not ready to be an automatic selection for the Pro Bowl, but he can be a star -- and absolutely will be if he continues down the path laid during San Francisco's nationally televised 24-3 devastation of the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.
After three seasons during which the 49ers -- and, more pointedly, their fans -- waited for Crabtree to provide spectacular moments, their wish finally was fulfilled with the help of a stellar performance by quarterback Alex Smith.
"It's about getting opportunities, man," Crabtree said while walking toward the team bus afterward.
Crabtree got five opportunities, five passes thrown his way. He caught all five, two for touchdowns.
The two touchdown passes made no grand announcement; he has done that before. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about catching five passes; he has caught more in a single game.
What made this performance distinctive was the sheer roundness of it.
"You could tell really early that Michael Crabtree was on fire," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He was running the ball extremely hard, physical running (and also made) some good blocks in the secondary."
Already appreciated for his marvelous hands, Crabtree on this night flashed speed and quickness and strength and instincts and determination.
These, you may recall, were the attributes exhibited during his matchless two-year collegiate career at Texas Tech, where he was widely regarded as college football's best receiver and his post-catch theatrics made him a one-man highlight reel.
This is what San Francisco expected but has not fully received since making Crabtree the 10th overall pick in 2009.
The first 50 games of his career have been compromised by a number of factors, from being a rookie holdout to missing his first three training camps to being betrayed by his own body, particularly his feet.
Crabtree is healthy now, fully healthy for the first time as a 49er. And the results are coming in.
He has been targeted 55 times in eight games, and he has caught 39 passes. His yards-after-catch totals are better than those of Atlanta star Roddy White and rival those of Detroit megastar Calvin Johnson.
"He's having a good year," fellow receiver Randy Moss said. "It's good to see guys that you come to work with every day out there making plays. Crabs made some key plays for us."
Crabtree's most impressive catch came in the first quarter, when he outmuscled Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson for a 3-yard touchdown.
"It was a great play by Michael," Harbaugh said. "It was a great throw by Alex, really strong 'hands' catch by Michael Crabtree."
Crabtree's most impressive play was turning a short pass from Smith and using his running instincts to turn it into a 30-yard play, and his quickness was introduced when he caught another short pass and darted untouched into the end zone for a 9-yard score.
"We're always talking about it," Crabtree said of red-zone opportunities, "but when it happens in a game you just have to make the most of it."
It helped immensely that Smith was outstanding: 18 of 19 passing, for 232 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. His rating was 157.1 (out of a possible 158.3).
It also helped that Moss, the veteran hired to bring wisdom and the dimension of speed to the offense, was able to take a short pass and wiggle and race to a 47-yard touchdown that put away Arizona.
Suddenly, there it was, a San Francisco passing game, featuring touchdowns from anywhere on the field and wide receivers abusing an opposing secondary.
This was the vision during those February discussions between Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke. They understood the limitations of their offense and realized the need for speed and explosion.
They got it Monday night.
"It was fun to see, fun to see guys in space and getting the ball to them quick and letting them make plays," said Smith, who conceded that, yes, Crabtree often lobbies for more action.
This is the Michael Crabtree the 49ers thought they were getting in 2009, the player who can be a difference-maker in 2012.
If he can bring it like this every week -- assuming he gets opportunities to do so on a unit built around the run -- he will be a star in the NFL.
And if Crabtree becomes a star in San Francisco, well, you can raise the expectations for him and for this offense.

'Glee,' Season 4, Episode 5, 'The Role You Were Born to Play': TV Recap
Welcome back, Gleeks! This is our first new episode since the beginning of October, when we were so rudely put on hiatus thanks to a presidential debate and the World Series. Five points if you can tell me who won that debate…or who won the World Series. Our last episode was the much acclaimed, yet very sad, break-up episode. Where do things stand now?
It seems like Glee is moving forward with continuity, because they are actually doing "Grease" as the high school musical.
Pity party 1: Finn's working in his dad's tire shop, no girlfriend, no college prospects, wearing an ill-fitting blue jumpsuit. Artie (who says Finn is his hero) is really trying to get Finn out of his rut. Artie begs Finn to help him co-direct.
Sam thinks because he and Blaine are vice president and president that they can pick whatever parts in "Grease" they want; Blaine's not interested. He's feeling sorry for himself too; he doesn't even gel his hair on weekends since he and Kurt broke up. Cue the first "Grease" number of the night: "Hopelessly Devoted to You" as he walks around the football field. Blaine, if you really thought you and Kurt were soul mates, maybe cheating on him wasn't the best idea you've ever had. Oh, that was his tryout for Grease. Artie loved it and says that Blaine's the perfect Danny Zuko. But Blaine just can't…after all, "Grease" is a romance and he can't play the scenes or be the "truth" of Danny Zuko since Blaine ruined his own relationship. And there's probably no part in "Grease" that he can play (besides Teen Angel, ha!).
Finn doesn't even care about Blaine's feelings — he doesn't believe he can direct the play. But Artie does! Here's Mike and Mercedes! Aw that's fun! They cut right to the chase — Sandy will be easy to cast but if Blaine isn't Danny, they're in trouble. Sam wants to play Kenickie — "Grease Lightning" is his cellphone ringtone. Joe Hart can't because he has the wrong kind of dreads. Finn suggests Puck's brother, but apparently he's not trying out. So Finn goes to the Glee Club recruiting sight — the football field, where Coach Beiste gives him a pep talk. (Maybe this episode should be called Finn Gets 100 Pep Talks). That's where Finn learns about Ryder ("The Glee Project Winner" Blake Jenner).
Obviously Marley is trying out for Sandy; Unique isn't because she wants to be Rizzo and she feels she'll never get cast in the part. Out comes Sue and informs Unique (aka Urethra Franklin) that she's a boy. This scene doesn't really fit – it's really mean and unnecessary. But the point is that Sue's back to being a snob and refuses to let Unique play Rizzo and unleash gender confusion at the school. Marley stands up to Sue (probably earning her hatred for life). Then the two break into "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" by Pink, which also serves as their "Grease" tryout. (And Mercedes gets to judge her replacement!). Their voices start off well together but toward the end I thought they were shouting more than singing and trying to outdo each other. But Unique proudly says she wants to play Rizzo, which is cool.
Finn gets rid of Ryder's study hall teacher to get Ryder to join Glee. Ryder says he can't since he has too much on his plate and has to get his GPA up so he doesn't have to quit football. Finn tells him to start slow, just tryout for the musical and see; despite Ryder's claim that he doesn't sing, he gets another bad grade on his History test (and remembers Finn's claim that Glee opened up his mind) and shows up to tryouts–where he wants to audition for the musical without singing. Finn also uses the analogy of a "really good poop" to describe the first time he sang. Priceless.
Anyway, this goes right into "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner. Love when Glee does an 80s song. However I'm surprised that this sophomore (so 16 year old) knows the words to the Foreigner song. This is the best song of this episode. It's alive, Finn and Ryder sound good together, and they turn it into an 80s concert (with Finn on drums). Clearly the audition went well.
Ryder introduces himself to Marley and compliments her mom! He lets it drop that Finn said Marley would most likely play Sandy so he wanted to introduce himself since he is probably going to play Danny….unless Jake (who's wearing Jealousy By U according to Kitty) has anything to do with it. Oh and of course Kitty's going to try out because she's jealous of Marley (even drops a Fifty Shades of Gravy joke, which could be deemed clever if it wasn't so mean). Thank goodness Ryder calls Kitty out on her snobbiness; Kitty owns up to it — She's out to get Marley because in her eyes, Marley tried to steal Jake and she tried to cast herself as the poor adorkable girl, but what she really is is a scheming little kiss-up). I really never thought Marley was a kiss-up.
So Kitty and Jake audition together. For a snobby girl and a macho guy who just broke up, Neon Trees' "Everybody Talks" is kind of a weird choice. First of all, the two have a ton of chemistry, maybe the most of any couple on the show. Secondly, why is Jake hiding all his talent? He can dance, he can sing, he has charisma — so why is he trying so hard to be a punk loser? And it's obvious Kitty would kill her audition because Kitty doesn't have to try for anything, it all comes naturally. Poor Marley watches from the side, quite disappointed.
As Artie, Finn, Mike and Mercedes talk about who to cast as whom, Artie makes some pretty lame comments — Kitty has to play Sandy because she has blonde hair; Unique can't play Rizzo (even though everyone agrees she has the best voice) because she's (technically) a guy. Mercedes wants Tina to play Jan, but Tina won't try out because she won't be in the same room as Mike (oooh what happened there?).
Sue is so anti Unique as Rizzo that she calls Finn to Principal's Figgins's office to argue against it. This is mainly because she fears that if Unique gets Rizzo, she'll then want to be a Cheerio and interrupt Sue's latest scheme to rise to glory with her precious cheerleading squad. Will (oh, he's still here?) points out that Unique never said she wants to be a Cheerio. Figgins says Unique has it going on in all the right places (doesn't know she's a guy — technically?). Will and Finn argue for it — pointing out that back in the day all the girl parts were played by guys. Sue's insults are back and fall flat. Sue points out that if they cast Unique as Rizzo she'll make a very public stink about it and that's not fair to Unique. She asks them not to put this kid in danger because they want to make some grand gesture about how open-minded they are. Will bows out of making a decision, saying it isn't up to him and Finn says it's none of Sue's business and it's his business. Finn points out he lost his girlfriend, future and pride so he has nothing else to lose. He does also (inappropriately) point out that Sue should be more understanding because she "has a retarded baby." Eessh. I'm surprised Sue didn't punch him. Well, Brad Falchuk, you really went for it with this scene huh?
Ah, here's the Mike and Tina scene. Tina says she was fine with their break-up because Mike was out of sight, out of mind. She feels Mike should have called to ask if it was okay to choreograph the school musical. Tina didn't realize it would be weird and Mike says it's weird for him too, but they have to make it not weird because Tina should audition for the school musical. (Side note — Mike got into the Jaffe school and he has time to choreograph a school musical? Is that his freshman internship or something?). Mike gives Tina a pep talk (this is like the 89th pep talk this episode) but she says no.
So Ryder and Marley and Kitty and Jake are called back for the roles of Danny and Sandy. They want to see how they sing, dance, play off each other and what kind of chemistry they have. AND how they dance to 50′s music. Kitty is really cocky and Mercedes warns she better have the moves to back up the words. Mercedes sings "Hand Jive" as Mike dances around to get the tryout started. Jake is a better dancer, but maybe Ryder is a better singer. Jake definitely has better chemistry with Kitty than with Marley, but Marley's voice is purer than Kitty's. But Kitty is a more flamboyant dancer. (And Jake is jealous of Ryder dancing with Marley). Also, for someone who hasn't ever danced before, Ryder breaks out some moves. Towards the end Jake and Kitty kind of fight a bit — clearly Marley and Ryder have more "fun" with the song. Oooh, Kitty is MAD.
Finn finds Unique in the library — she heard about Sue's meltdown but Finn still offers Unique the part. She gladly accepts, but confides she doesn't feel right in her skin — she doesn't feel right in men's clothes but can't wear dresses every day. It's nice for once to feel like she found her place (as Rizzo). I really hope that the Rizzo/Unique thing doesn't detract from what can be a pretty decent play. (I mean, who doesn't love "Grease"?)
And the cast list goes up. Brittany is Cha-Cha (seeing some of her dance moves as she tried out would have been cool). Sugar is Frenchie (so perfect!). Tina gets Jan (did she try out or did she just get the part?). Sam gets Kenickie. Joe is Doody. Blaine gets his Teen Angel part. Jake is Putzie. Ryder is obviously Danny. And YAY! Marley gets to be Sandy!! Kitty is Patty Simcox. (I actually had to look up who Patty Simcox was, she is NOT a character I remember). Kitty blames Jake, pushes Marley and tells her that the stage will add about 90 lbs. Sue comes waltzing over and is MAD that Unique will play Rizzo. She has Finn in her sights now.
Finn and Will have a moment — Finn isn't interested in being back in high school it's just nice helping other people's dreams come true. Will says it's called being a teacher and he'll really miss it. Apparently Finn missed the memo on Will/Emma/the blue ribbon project for the arts. Finn panics – nobody is in charge of Glee Club. Will says they need a leader, with a vision, who understand winning isn't more important than doing the right thing. Apparently because Glee Club isn't an actual class the school doesn't need a certified teacher to run it, they need a class. So Finn gets a job. Will says Finn is an adult and there's no greater joy in the world than helping a young boy turn into a man. It's only three months and Will believes Finn can do it. Will he?
Speaking of Will, in case you care, Emma still doesn't want to go to DC with Will and play the "dutiful 1950s housewife." Will thinks she should so he can work on the blue ribbon government panel to improve arts education nationwide. They bare their souls to Coach Beiste and she says they should take a time out. "It's all about knowing when to pass and when to punt." Will agrees and tries again. He just wants them to always be together so this time they go to DC and next time it can be for Emma. She caves. BOOO-RIIIING. Emma is having a hard time coming to terms with her decision and is pretending to be concerned about the clean carpets in DC. Beiste says Emma has to be honest with Will; Emma said she can't crush Will's dreams because that's what Terry did. Beiste advises Emma to get a new interest — she's way too into being Will's future wife and forgot who she is besides that.
The episode ends with Emma literally being the dutiful 1950s housewife by making 7 new recipes. It's really her OCD coming out and Will gets her to admit she doesn't want to go to Washington. (So Wemma DOESN'T go to Washington?). Emma says for the past three years all she wanted to be his wife, but she actually doesn't know what being a wife is to HER. Emma loves Will but she loves her job and helping the kids and she's excited for Will's opportunity, but she doesn't want to go, resent Will and pull away. She doesn't want to be close to Will and feel really far away rather than physically close to him but emotionally far away. Will actually is mature about it and is Ok with it. He says being husband and wife means trust, having a partner who he will be honest with and who will be honest with him; for Emma it's acceptance. Neither one mentioned someone who is with them every minute or compromises dreams. They decide to switch off weekends and when he's done in DC, they'll get married.
Next week is the big "Grease" episode (Glee is the Word…Go Glee Lightening?)– and Rachel, Brody, Kurt and Cassandra come back. Marley looks great as the Sandy at the end of the film and I'm sure teenagers everywhere who will watch this will say "What's Grease."
What did you think? Was it a good first episode after a five-week hiatus?

But now I'd just like to inform all Windows MySQL users that using Strawberry Perl for your Perl needs is much easier than Active State Perl.
Simply install it. That's it. No need to worry about later locating and installing the Perl DBI and DBD:MySQL modules, as they're automatically installed. How refreshing!

What's up with boneless, skinless chicken breasts? At supermarkets, they weigh between 7 and 10 ounces each — huge! I sometimes trim them down and use the trimmings for stir-fry, but part of the reason to buy them is they're pan-ready. If chicken breasts take a lot of prep, the convenience factor is gone.
— Nancy K., via email
As almost every food in the United States undergoes supersizing, take comfort in knowing that many cooks share your annoyance with this trend.
Chickens are indeed bigger, according to William P. Roenigk, senior vice president of the National Chicken Council, a Washington, D.C.-based industry group. Some 40 percent of birds weigh in at 6 pounds or more, according to federal statistics.
Why? The cost per pound goes down in processing, Roenigk says, and larger birds provide more boneless, skinless meat to use in chicken nuggets, patties and strips for restaurants. Roenigk says when the restaurant business slows — usually in the winter — some of these big birds end up in supermarket meat cases.
"We get more comments about them now," he told McClatchy News Service.
In can't hurt to check with your grocer about whether smaller chicken breasts are available. Ethnic markets can offer a wider variety of cuts of meat in various sizes.
Farmers markets are among the best sources for heritage-breed birds that don't attain such a large size and have smaller breasts. Of course, this may mean paying more money for your meat, but it's likely to taste more like a traditional chicken, too.
If you can manage a little prep work, the best way to handle oversized chicken breasts is simply slicing them horizontally and pounding.

iTunes-Lame is a must-have for ripping your CD library. I can certainly tell the difference in quality from a iTunes-ripped CD. I highly doubt that Apple uses its own consumer (iTunes) algorithm for ripping music to its iTunes music store. Why should you?
I've found that this version that supports multiple cores is much faster than the original. Compare them yourselves, I have two WAV's compressing simultaneously at 16x each (-V 0 --vbr-new -h) on my MBP.
Incomparable MP3 converter!
Mmmm.... Lame ain't an mp3 encoder. My favorite iTunes add on.
Not only does this work great, once I upgraded the built-in LAME encoder with a Universal Binary (available at http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html) for my Intel Core Duo, it was really fast too.

Opposites Attract: Soldier in the Rain (1963)
The most unlikely pairs are proof that opposites attract. Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter forms an unlikely friendship with Sergeant Eustis Clay and neither status, nor rank, nor intellectual capacity prevents the two from building an admirable and loyal friendship. Eustis eagerly awaits the end of his stint in the military and his inexhaustible attempts at convincing Slaughter of the perks of civilian life provide opportunities for comedic adventures and antics. As in any good friendship, each provides meaning and importance in the other's life. But friendships are not without their flaws and their hurdles, and the friendship which forms in Soldier in the Rain is put to the test. What Slaughter and Eustis learn and take away from each other becomes life-changing.
Watch Soldier in the Rain (1963) Saturday, December 15 at 9:30pm on WETA TV26 and WETA HD. Repeats Sunday at 11:30am.
Through Thick & Thin: Garbage Dreams (2009)
In Cairo, recycling is a bit more complex than the American standard of sorting plastic, metal, paper, and glass from trash. In fact, recycling garbage is the Zaballeen's (translating to "garbage people") livelihood. The Zaballeen make their living collecting and recycling eighty percent of the garbage which accumulates in Cairo. For years, the city had no sanitation service and depended on the Zaballeen. And for the Zaballeen, trash is all they know. But in recent years, the city has turned from tradition and begun to rely on private companies to collect trash with garbage trucks. With machines replacing men, the shift in tradition comes as detrimental and dangerous to the Zaballeen's future. How will they make a living? How will they survive?
Independent Lens: Garbage Dreams tells the stories of three teenagers experiencing the life-altering transition directly. Adham, Osama and Nabil, all born into the business of trash, must confront the possibility of losing the security their people have had for decades. But, when one door closes another one opens, and maybe Cairo's stab at modernization is a blessing in disguise for these three young men to pursue new and exciting opportunities.
The United States recycles 30 percent of its waste. Impressive? Not in comparison to the 80 percent recycled by the Zaballeen. How eco-friendly are you? Test your ability by playing the Garbage Dreams online game!

In Sickness & In Health: We Were Here (2011)
San Francisco is a melting pot for people from different walks of life but they all seek the same things: happiness, freedom and acceptance. For a large population of gay men, San Francisco proves to be a source of solace and a place they are happy to call home. In the 1980s, the city was also the site of what was, to some, believed to be the "gay cancer", plaguing the gay community and swiftly. Time would soon tell that the mysterious disease was the AIDS virus. At the brink of its arrival, San Francisco's response to the epidemic showed compassion and empathy, but most significant was the vastly different actions taken by other cities. Subsequently, "The San Francisco Model" became the ideal for creating a healthier and humane society in a world now struggling with AIDS.
Independent Lens: We Were Here tells the inspiring and poignant stories of five individuals who lived in San Francisco prior to the epidemic and were all effected in one way or another by the devastation, loss of life, compassion of strangers, and kindness of humanity that accompanied it. The firsthand stories of these ordinary people who experienced the change and assumed roles as activists and caregivers, friends or lovers to victims of AIDS, and living testimonies of those who suffer from the virus comprise We Were Here.
Check out an educational and informative timeline tracing the history of AIDS.

Man's Best Friend: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2003)
St. Francis of Assisi made it his life's work to care for animals. His compassion for all creatures is admired and praised long after his death. Animal shelters and advocates recognize the importance of animals and family pets are common in modern day society. Whether consciously or not, one man has followed suit of St. Francis of
Assisi and dedicates his days to feeding, caring for and protecting the wild parrots of San Francisco's Telegraph Hill. He is known as the "Bohemian St. Francis". Former homeless musician Mark Bittner was on a search for his life's purpose, and the parrots he affectionately, and rather impressively, recognizes by name just happened to collide with the timing of his search, and help him in ways one wouldn't think a bird could.
Not your typical nature or wildlife documentary, Independent Lens: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill puts the spotlight on parrots but more significantly on relationships between animals and people, and finding meaning in life.

Luis Alberto to join LFC - Building for the future....
From Guillem Balague - Luis Alberto (Barcelona B) is the other Spanish player that is about to agree to join Liverpool. A midfielder in the Xavi/Iniesta mould. He can play midfield/forward and is on loan from Sevilla. So it wasnt in the hands of FCB. Great buy by Liverpool
From Wikipedia:
A product of Sevilla FC's youth ranks, Luis Alberto spent his first two seasons as a senior with the B team in the third division, scoring 15 goals in his second. On 16 April 2011 he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut for the Andalusians, replacing another club youth graduate, Rodri, in the second half of a 0–1 away loss against Getafe CF.
In August 2012 Luis Alberto was loaned to FC Barcelona B in a one-year deal, with the Catalans having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. He made his official debut on 2 September, playing two minutes in a 2–0 home win over CE Sabadell FC.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

I really don't know much about him, but got to assume from what I've read he's not likely to be someone walking into the first 11. More likely as a 20 year old with good technical ability he's one for the future, much like Yessil last season.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Colorado Parks and Wildlife honored longtime Pitkin County Commissioner Jack Hatfield on his last day in office on Jan. 8 with a letter signed by director Rick Cables and a framed photo of a trophy-sized bull elk, according to a statement.
The letter thanked him for defending Colorado's wildlife during his time in public office.
"You have always stood up in the face of opposing views and pressures to champion for wildlife," the letter from Cables said. "Our local field officers have greatly appreciated your support and understanding. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to Colorado's wildlife resource."
Hatfield served on the Pitkin Board of County Commissioners for 12 years. Term-limited, his District 4 seat has been filled by Steve Child. Prior to that, he also had a stint on Snowmass Village Town Council.

Being more human is a promise to ourselves as a company as well as a contract we enter into with the brands we love to work with. It is a promise that we will all walk in open minded, curious, challenging and above all else caring. Caring about the work we create and the people we create it with. And the Dog you ask. Well let's just say making great work is like trying to find a buried bone. You have no option but to keep digging until you find it!
At TBWA\CHIAT\DAY, we have always strived to make work that connects deeply with people through an understanding of brand and why they exist. To do this we have always believed that one must unlock the soul of a brand and in turn its humanity. Lee Cloe always talked about finding the emotional center of a brand. Once you are clear about the soul, you can take a brand to many different places. IF you don't have a soul, then you're just making random work. Given our world of expanding platforms and channels, and the multiple places where brand activity can exist, a strong brand soul allows you to unite work that won't look the same, or even use the same creative vehicle, because it always comes back to the same truth about the brand.
We have always believed that we must do the things we think we cannot do. In today's converged world, we must experiment continuously and embrace the risk that it will succeed and not fear the possibility that it will be wrong. In order to succeed there must be some nervousness – even fear – about what we're trying to do. If we're not feeling a little bit nervous about the ideas we're taking to our clients, then they're probably not brave enough. We're all in the business of managing fear. We're managing our own fear every day and we're also helping our clients to have the confidence to trust that what we're making will have the right impact in the world.
Airbnb tells travelers to stop being basic… and throw out your selfie stick.
Airbnb has launched a new campaign, by TBWA\Chiat\Day, urging travellers to embrace local culture and avoid tourist traps.
According to data from Airbnb, 86% of its users pick the platform because they want to live more like a local. That insight of living rather than visiting inspired the brand's latest and largest marketing campaign, 'Live There'.
The narrator advisers over footage of selfie sticks and packed tour boats saying: ""Don't go to Paris. Don't tour Paris, and please don't do Paris."
The concept behind the campaign is to push back against the modern tourism industry and capture the idea that people shouldn't simply go to a new place, they should live there, even if only for one night.
AdNews spoke global CMO Jonathan Mildenhall in March, where he announced Airbnb would be rolling out a new brand platform.

Campbellsville High School graduate Robbie Durham is officiating at the girls' state basketball tournament this week in Bowling Green.
Durham will be unable to referee any games for the undefeated and heavily-favored Marion County Lady Knights since they are from his home region — the Fifth.
Durham, who played football and baseball for the Eagles, joins a long list of local officials to call the state tournament.
Shelby Winfrey called in the Sweet 16 as did the Smith twins (Wayne and Willard) and B.D. Thompson in previous years.

WASHINGTON (November 26, 2012)—U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says, "it's fair to ask my party to put revenue on the table" as part of the solution to avoid the looming automatic tax increases and across-the-board spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff."
Graham said he's "willing to generate revenue" by steps such as capping tax deductions, which he says would most affect upper-income Americans, but he said he won't agree to higher taxes, a position shared by most Republicans in Congress.
President Barack Obama wants to let tax rates increase for wealthy families while sparing middle- and low-income taxpayers.
Graham tells ABC's "This Week" that "for the good of the country," he's ready to violate an anti-tax pledge followed by most Republicans if Democrats agree to big changes in entitlement programs.
U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said a pledge signed years ago should not necessarily apply in economic conditions that have changed greatly.
He told NBC's "Meet the Press" that "everything should be on the table."
He said "we have to show the world we're adults."

President Obama Calls for Carbon Cap, More Clean Energy Investment
Naming energy as one of the three areas of investment "that are absolutely critical to our economic future," President Barack Obama has called for a greater investment in clean energy technologies and a cap on carbon emissions. "We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy, yet we import more oil today than ever before," noted the president in his address to Congress on February 24. The president asserted that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provides a key investment that will save or create 3.5 million jobs, including jobs "constructing wind turbines and solar panels ... and expanding mass transit." He also noted that the ARRA will double the U.S. supply of renewable energy in the next three years. Claiming that "the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century," President Obama declared that "it is time for America to lead again."
"We will soon lay down thousands of miles of power lines that can carry new energy to cities and towns across this country," said the president, "and we will put Americans to work making our homes and buildings more efficient, so that we can save billions of dollars on our energy bills. But to truly transform our economy, protect our security, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change, we need to ultimately make clean, renewable energy the profitable kind of energy. So I ask this Congress to send me legislation that places a market-based cap on carbon pollution and drives the production of more renewable energy in America. And to support that innovation, we will invest $15 billion a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America."
President Obama also pointed to the example of Greensburg, Kansas, "a town that was completely destroyed by a tornado, but is being rebuilt by its residents as a global example of how clean energy can power an entire community—how it can bring jobs and businesses to a place where piles of bricks and rubble once lay." DOE, by the way, was heavily involved in the effort to rebuild Greensburg using renewable energy and green building principles. See the text of President Obama's address to congress and the article on DOE's efforts in Greensburg from the May 2, 2008, edition of the EERE Network News.

Now, more than two years after the economic meltdown, the industry understands that prosperity is not around the corner. What many call the "New Normal," characterized by slower growth, tighter credit markets, a more conservative approach, less money available for investment, and tighter financial regulations, has become the new operating reality.
It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, however. Even in the best-run organizations, there is an untapped source of cash from what I like to call "creating your own stimulus by buying items and services better." In many companies, the cost of purchased items and services (i.e., the money paid to suppliers) is equal to between 30–70% of total company revenue. In the pharmaceutical industry, this cost is typically between 30 and 50%. What I've come to understand is that regardless of how good or how bad a company is at buying products and services, there is still plenty of cash to extract from its costs. Three methods—spend segmentation, better specifications, and online reverse marketplaces—can improve results.
For example, if a company is making a purchase where the supplier maintains the power in the relationship (i.e., the "critical" quadrant), the buyer is paying an absolute premium. Typically, less than 10% of a company's spend will be designated as "critical," according to my experience. Companies with poor purchasing practices, however, often allow suppliers to act as if they were a natural monopoly. A purchaser should review its spending to move supplier relationships from the "critical" quadrant to "strategic" or better yet to "leverage" positions (see Figure 1). My experience suggests that on average, only 20% of spend is truly "strategic," and most of what is purchased can be highly leveraged among multiple suppliers.
Better specifications . Many factors determine how much to pay for a good or service. In simple terms, supply is what is available, and demand is how much is being requested. Consumption is how much is being used at what rate, and specification is what constitutes a product or service. The interactions of these variables are the main drivers of price paid.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Stanford's quest for the national championship was derailed in dramatic fashion Saturday as a fourth-quarter rally fell short in a 27-21 loss to Utah.
That's right: Utah.
Not Oregon.
Not UCLA.
"This week, more than any other week, we preached: 'Don't overlook this team,' '' tailback Tyler Gaffney said. "This was definitely not an overlooked team.''
The fifth-ranked Cardinal, which hadn't lost in a year -- since the controversial finish at Notre Dame -- simply wasn't good enough.
Stanford failed to contain Utah's spread offense (181 rushing yards) and struggled to repel the Utes' hard-charging defense, which limited the Cardinal to one offensive touchdown in the first three quarters.
Stanford trailed 27-14 early in the fourth when quarterback Kevin Hogan found receiver Devon Cajuste for a touchdown that changed the momentum.
Hogan then led the Cardinal to the Utah 6-yard line before throwing incomplete on third and fourth down. Stanford's 13-game winning streak came to an end as Utah's victory celebration in Rice-Eccles Stadium began.
"We had a good week of practice; we knew this would be a hornets' nest,'' Stanford coach David Shaw said, noting that Utah nearly beat Oregon State and UCLA.
"Everybody in the conference knows this is one of the toughest places to play. They got us. They outplayed us. They outcoached us.''
The Cardinal (5-1, 3-1) controls its own destiny in the race for the Rose Bowl -- run the table, and it wins the Pac-12 -- but its prospects for the national championship were dealt a severe blow.
No one-loss Pac-12 team has played for the national championship in the BCS era.
"I don't care what the talking heads say or where we're ranked,'' Shaw said. "At the end, if we earn a bowl (berth), tell us where to play.''
Far more pressing for Shaw is addressing the reasons for Saturday's loss: The inability to defend Utah's swing passes and up-the-gut runs; the failure to protect Hogan consistently and get off blocks by Utah's receivers; the blown tackles and turnovers; the penalties and missed opportunities.
If not for another brilliant performance by Ty Montgomery -- he returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and was responsible for eight of Stanford's 15 receptions -- the Cardinal would have been beaten soundly.
"Their front seven is strong,'' Gaffney said. "We made some mistakes in critical situations.''
Despite all the mistakes and Utah's first-class performance, the Cardinal had a chance to win.
Hogan's 7-yard touchdown pass to Cajuste with 9:22 remaining pulled the Cardinal within six points and changed the momentum. Utah did nothing on offense and punted away.
Hogan trotted back out, 88 yards from the winning touchdown, and proceeded to make one big play after another:
He hit Montgomery for 13 yards, coolly completed two third-down passes, then found reserve receiver Kodi Whitfield for 23 yards.
With two minutes remaining, Stanford was on the Utes' 14.
Gaffney rushed for 4 yards, and Hogan scrambled for 4 more.
One minute left, third-and-two on the Utes' 6.
Stanford opted for its jumbo formation, with additional tight ends and linemen but no receivers -- no Montgomery.
Hogan missed reserve tight end Charlie Hopkins in the end zone.
"We tried to get outside the pocket,'' Shaw explained. "Either (a run by Hogan) or hit Ryan Hewitt in the flat or the tight end in the corner. They did a good job containing.''
Stanford called its final timeout: Fourth-and-two, 51 seconds left, 6 yards from the end zone.
Montgomery returned to the field but was not a factor. With Utah blitzing through a gap on the left side, Hogan hurried a throw to Cajuste in the middle of the end zone. It sailed high, sealing Hogan's first loss as a starter.
"We had single coverage,'' Shaw said. "They got to the quarterback.''
Twenty minutes later, the trajectory of its season altered significantly, Stanford offered no excuses -- it had no excuses.
Utah was better.
"Disappointment more than anything,'' linebacker Trent Murphy said of the mood in the locker room. "But we've got to respond. It's all about how you respond.''
UCLA is next.

"Demand reduction" strategies focus on actions designed to reduce sex buying. Through demand reduction strategies, state and
local jurisdictions find ways to reduce prostitution and sex trafficking.
Researchers in a study released in June 2012 found that American localities used various strategies that focused on sex buyers,
colloquially known as "johns."
These measures include:
The "Demand Reduction" study, conducted by Abt Associates Inc., showed that localities try demand reduction after attempts
to reduce prostitution have failed, or in response to community calls to do something about prostitution.
Demand reduction strategies appear to be promising, but many have not been rigorously assessed for effectiveness.

OAKLAND -- Two weeks after he is sworn in as an Oakland school board member, James Harris goes to court to defend his right to the seat.
Harris defeated Oakland school board incumbent Alice Spearman by a 14-point margin in November, but the contest isn't over. Spearman has filed a legal challenge, arguing Harris isn't eligible to serve on the board because he lives in a part of Oakland that belongs to the San Leandro school district.
"They're going to find him ineligible," Spearman said outside the courthouse Wednesday, after an inconclusive hearing on the matter.
Alameda Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo sided with Harris in a tentative ruling he issued Tuesday. But on Wednesday, the judge had more questions about the case -- including whether Harris could, theoretically, hold school board seats in different districts.
"Can Mr. Harris run for the school board in San Leandro?" he asked.
Grillo set another hearing for Jan. 23.
Harris said afterward that he was disappointed the case remained unresolved. "I'm not really sure what this has to do with solving problems for kids," he said.
In their challenge, Spearman and her attorney have appealed to common sense, noting that Harris couldn't even vote for himself in the election. Spearman has called the situation "asinine."
In his tentative ruling -- which he might reverse next month -- Grillo acknowledged such "oddities." But he cited the Oakland city charter, which states that school board and City Council boundaries must be the same. Since Harris lives in City Council District 7, he is eligible to represent the same area on the school board, Grillo concluded.
"Although the application of that plain language produces oddities -- i.e., Mr. Harris evidently could not vote for himself, and he might as a Director support the issuance of bonds that will lead to taxes he himself will not have to pay -- those oddities do not rise to the level of an absurd result requiring this court to not apply the Charter's plain language," the tentative ruling stated.
Even if Grillo does deem Harris ineligible, Spearman won't necessarily reclaim the position she now holds. The District 7 seat would be treated as a vacancy, to be filled through a special election or appointment.
But Spearman said she was confident she will be back on the dais, again. "I'm going to be in that seat," she said.

Re the subject: borrowed a "tag-line" from Lou_B.
What event took place?
Elvis Presley graduated from High School !!!
Just messing with you guys.
June 14,1953.....I married my 1948 High School sweetheart
"Mitzie"-after returning home from two military years overseas-[one tour]- Korean War; and being discharged as a patient from Fitzsimmons Army Hospital, Denver, Colorado.
57 year married today.
She is a "rock."
Today, in addition to saluting the Stars and Strips on Flag Day, I salute Frank and Mitzie on 57 years of marriage!!
Thanks Burg!
I/we never forgot, it was also Flag Day.
Flying in the breeze from our front porch as I speak.
Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.[1]
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
Do they still have a big parade in Quincy on Flag Day?
My wife lived in Quincy when we first met.
I remember watching the Quincy Parade with her there back in the late-70s.
Interesting that Obama doesn't use a flag as a backdrop anymore for speeches. I guess finding one for a lapel team is about all we will ever see on him.
Congrats Frank, and Old Glory flapping in the breeze here also. Don
Happy Anniversary Frank
Congratulations Frank! She must be a peach.
Time wounds all heels.....
My flag was the only one on the block. Sad.
That day in 1953 I caught 37 crawfish in the bayou and put them in our bathtub. My Mother freaked. We didn't eat them back then so I had to take them back to the bayou.
Frank had a better day,
Congratulations on the length of your nuptials Frank. I was born 2 months after you got married! The bride and I will be 32 years in August. Life is good...
I have placed a flag in front of any house I have ever owned. A few years ago after my youngest passed, my wife and I built a Farmer's Porch on the front of the house with a memorial piece to our son. The first thing I thought to do after that was to buy some nice flag bunting to hang from the rails of the porch. The flag and bunting make a nice display and if I could figure it out like Chalkline, I'd post a nice picture of a patriotic home in Maine.
Home of the free because of the brave!!
Happy Flag Day to all...
Talking about fishing, I remember years back traveling from Bklyn, NY, to Quincy Ma. to fish in 3 man boats (cant remember name of place we went, but they had the greatest all night dinner near by that was always packed and had great food. Caught over 120 fish, including 3 lemon soles. Great times.
Also interesting, Daque, is that you manage to inject politics into a baseball discussion forum.

i found the link in the other pfitz thread to the older pfitz thread and am more convinced than ever to use that plan for my next marathon (feb 08). but i still have one question:
i plan to use the 18wk/55mpw plan, but my base miles are/will be higher than the beginning mileage, but too low for the 70mpw(avg 40-45 mpw). anybody else in this situation? do you just drop back to begin with the lower mileage or what? i don't want to "waste" the base miles i've built.
I think you are in a perfect position to start the 18/55 then. The program puts in the miles and they increase rather quickly. You will also have some hard workouts. If your base was not yet at the minimum, your risk for injury may be too high.
I would follow it and take the first couple weeks as prescribed and enjoy the "easier" weeks if that is how it feels. If you need to, add a couple miles here or there or do an extra recovery run on one of your off days. You won't want to push it too much though as it is a pretty aggressive schedule - expecially the first time around.
Be sure to get Pfitz's book and read how he suggests you run your various workouts.
Good luck - I had great success with that program 2x and am now starting the 18/70.
I will be using the 24/less than 70 plan for my Jan 08 marathon. I have been doing 40-55 mile weeks since November. Right now I am going through the first few weeks (minus speedwork) to help build my my base even more. I will max at 67 I think before truly starting the program the first full week of August.
The first cycle only takes me up to 57 but it has that speedwork so I think it'll still be a challenge.
I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me. "Come on Mitchell, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait. Fruit on the bottom, hope on top. ~ Mitch Hedberg
My Profile[/URL" target="_blank">
I have used the Pfitz program with modifications, although not your exact question. My guess is that you are running 5 days a week for that mileage. If you note the Pfitz plan only starts you with four days a week for the first 3 weeks or so (I don't have it in front of me). Pretty easy to just keep running the extra day to me.
As the mileage builds you may want to "back off" to the scheduled mileage or you may find that you keep being a little ahead of plan. No problem with running a 18/60 plan, or whatever if you want.
Southern Man
We're on a road to nowhere. Come on along.
thanks runinlaw-i do have the book and have read and re read it--and wished i'd used it the first time around! your advice to enjoy the easy first few weeks sounds good.
southern man- yes i do run 5 days a week so maybe i'll keep that extra day (as low mileage recovery) unless and until it gets too much.
why is it the answer never seems so obvious until somebody else says it??!! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0! thanks for your advice!
What's the name of the Pfitz book you recommend? I am having a hard time finding it at the book stores. Thanks!
"Advanced Marathoning" by Pete Pfitzinger and Scott Douglas - $13.57 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Marathoning-Pete-Pfitzinger/dp/0736034315/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-8136462-5636017?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182608903&sr=8-1[/URL" target="_blank">
I believe I got a copy on Ebay for about $4.
Will your starting mileage be anywhere near the stating mileage of the 70 plan? Remember the first mesocycle of the Pfitz plan is "base training". I think many people don't take that into consideration. If your mileage is going to be near the starting mileage of the 18/70 plan(53 MPW I believe) and your long run is near the first long run of the plan(13 miles?)than I say go for that plan. Build your current base training around his format...that is 1 medium long run, 1 long run, 1 day of striders(altered with a couple easy tempo days) couped together by recovery jogs. Than picking up on his schedule will not be of anything different. I see no reason to seperate your base building from the first mesocycle of his plan. If anything just add on to that mesocycle.
The thing I really like about Pfitz is how systematic his training is. Each cycle prepares you for the next cycle slowing adding in the proceeding elements. Study the trend and just extend the base to your current training.
thanks runawayjessie, i'd considered that too. i may be around 50 mpw by then, so it's possible. i'll see how it goes
If you have the book and you should compare and contrast the 55 and 70 plans. They are very close in layout. So with a bit of imagination you can create a 60 or a 65 plan that lies somewhere in between the one in the book.

Rachel Snider, Livingston County Health Centers Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, hosted the inaugural Big Latch On at the Chillicothe Farmers Market on Saturday, Aug. 3.
The Big Latch On is celebrated worldwide during World Breastfeeding Week. By allowing groups to host the event in public, they raise awareness of breastfeeding support and knowledge available in communities. It also shows communities positively support breastfeeding in public places. Snider said the first year of the event brought with it a lot of enthusiasm.
"There were eight moms and babies that participated in the event," Snider explained. "There were also grandmas, aunts and dads and patrons of the farmers market that were there to support the moms as well. Several stopped by to say they thought what the moms were doing was great."
"I was so happy to be able to a part of such a neat thing," fourth-time mother Brooke Crowe said. "I love breastfeeding and I'm so happy that so many moms are now doing it, too."
Snider said the event was important to show mothers that breastfeeding their child is the normal way to feed their child.
"Being able to see local breastfeeding moms nurse in public and be proud of it will empower any new mom," Snider explained. "I was honored to see these moms that I have gotten to know well take a part in the Latch On and breastfeed their babies in public. They are my super moms and I am amazed by them."

1. Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX with
CrossOver Office : 15:01
So apparently it works now, but
2. Controlled dual-booting --- linux : 15:30
Set up Lilo with two targets: Linux and Winders.
Make Linux the default target to boot to.
When you're inside of Linux, and you want to set it so it boots Windows for the next boot, and only the next boot, then you do a
lilo -R windows ; shutdown -r now
The next boot will be into Windows. The boot after that will be back into Linux.
3. Wearable gadgets : 16:08
4. Migration document from Windows to Linux : 16:11

Dominique Cimafranca brought this excellent site to my attention. It's geared more toward K-12, but it has lots of interesting experiments.
I wonder if we can make a college CS version...
