Hello -- I've been running for several years now, and have averaged out to about 20-26 mpw. How many should I be running to consider myself a "true runner"? I would love to run more, but since I can only run 3 (sometimes 4) days a week, this is the most I can do. My week usually consists of: Work three days (long 13+ hours on my feet...on work days I don't do any exercise at all); run three days (8-10 miles one day, 6-8 day two, and 6 on day three); weight train two days a week; road bike or mountain bike one day a week; and swim a mile once or twice a week. Because of my work schedule, I have to cram all my exercising into three or four days, which means doing at least two forms of exercise each day. With all that cross training, is running only 20-26 mpw okay? Also: if ANYONE can tell me why with all that exercise and working a job that I am on my feet for over 12 hours a day I can't lose ANY weight at all, please tell me! I count every calorie and eat mostly all healthy foods, but am unable to lose even 1/2 a lousy pound! I average about 1700 -2000 calories each day. I've tried less, but even eating 2000/day leaves me hungry and thinking of food all the time. How do people who exercise a lot survive on only 1400 or so a day? I am 5'5", 140-142 lbs, 40 years old and female. Please don't say that "muscle weighs more than fat" and "maybe you don't have any to lose" because I know how I look and how I could look if I was only 10-15 lbs. lighter. The last time I had my body fat % checked it was around 20% (which is way too high). I know I've asked a lot of questions, but I really need some answers to help me feel better about my exercise routine and to keep my sanity!
Have you had your thyroid checked? In our 40's unfortunately our metabolism does tend to slow down apart from a potential thyroid issue. Weight lifting can help increase your metabolism. Also, if you tend to do the same workouts more or less your body adapts to what you are doing.
You know, you may be a healthy looking 140 lbs and have more muscle like you didn't want to hear. I'd be interested in knowing what your friends think.
LASTLY!!!! You are a true runner...not sure how and why you would think otherwise.
Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I have had my thyroid checked. Actually, I've been on 150mcg of generic synthroid since I was 23 years old. I get my levels checked every 6 months, so I know my dose is correct. I guess I look "okay" for my age, however, I'm so frustrated by exercising so much with no results. Don't get me wrong... I love to work out, but a little results wouldn't hurt. Thanks again!
Being a "true runner" is more about attitude than mileage or speed, etc. We had a discussion about this on the Marine Corps Marathon board a couple weeks ago. I'll have to see if I can find it. You certainly get your share of exercise. 20 - 25 miles per week is what I usually recommend as base mileage for (recreational) racing. There are race training programs (up to marathon) that have only 3 running days a week. As for losing weight . . . from what I've read 2000 calories is pretty much maintenance for a moderately active person of 140 pounds (not including all the exercise). No offense, but I have to ask about your calorie counting. Or you could be like me. I counted calories for several months at basically maintenance level, and should have been losing weight and didn't. Metabolic rate comes into play too, and I don't know enough about it to figure its role.

What do you consider "results"? Results of working out, to me, include longer life, better health and conditioning, higher energy levels, etc. Part of that may be weight loss, but not necessarily. Weight control is more likely.
Thanks, Len. I guess I'm just eating too much. (Sigh....) I don't know how active people survive on fewer calories, but if they can do it, I guess I should be able to, too. As for my calorie counting: I'm pretty diligent about it. I use a website called fitday.com where I customize all my foods according to their label. If anything, I err on the high side. If you have any menu ideas to keep me around 1400/day, I'd surely appreciate them. Thanks again for the reply.
Hello again. I guess results for me would include: a flatter midsection; more definition in my arms; less body fat; and weighing what I did three years ago (128). It's not that I don't appreciate all the other benefits of exercise... I do. I just want to see some of the external benefits, too. I guess I just figure that with all my hard work and trying so hard to eat healthy, I'd like to look a little better in a bathing suit.
No matter what you think, you are a true runner. Maybe you should see a nutritionist about your diet. I personally wouldn't worry so much about your weight. You are in excellent shape and probaly have lots of energy , Thats what its all about.

I don't think you're eating too much. I think you would quickly be in bad shape if you tried to survive on 1400 calories a day. I agree with the prior post that a nutritionist assessment of your diet and maybe an indepedent assessment of your appearance are in order. In other words, maybe you're too hard on yourself.
Wow, reading your blog was a carbon copy of my very own thoughts towards myself!! I too would love how to shed even one ounce! GGRR! I have a thyroid problem, 125 mcg. Levo. Run like a wild banshee (apx 40 mpw at a 8 to 9 min pace) eat and drink only healthy options - stay about 1200 calories a day and i'll be doggone, not one stinkin' pound wants to leave me!
I want to hear the responses as well. They certainly would help me out too. Thank you for the post...thought i was alone in this frustrated state of affairs.
I too do NOT want to hear that 5'7 and 145lbs is fine. Well, ok, it is ok for some people but i have a goal of 130 and for the life of me can't achieve it! Anyone else on my regimine would be dead! and weigh about 100 pounds.
We have our own goals and it is equally frustrating when the efforts are futile.
Kim Runs
In response to KimRuns
WOW!! We're twins separated at birth! It is uncanny the similarities between us. I read some of your other threads, and I can relate to them as well. I, too, look like the top of a margarita glass after a sweaty run. And, I too live in an extremely humid state (Montgomery, AL) and can barely run during the summer months. I get up at 5 a.m. and still drip with sweat, and it feels like my legs are made of lead. I also work with people who think I'm crazy because I work out all the time and eat healthy. They make fun of my lunches all the time (as they're eating cafeteria food or Chappy's Deli fried, nasty food and then washing it all down with a quart of sweet tea). I would love to chat with you about what you eat (I have a hard time staying under 2000/day... I'm hungry ALL THE TIME) as well as your running regime. 40 mpw is a lot! How do you do it? How many miles do you run each day? How many days a week? Please email me at email@example.com so we can compare notes. I am also looking for some place near me that measures body fat and RMR. I'd be willing to drive to FL if you know of a place that measures these accurately. Hope to hear from you!
I have one other question for both of you. Have you discussed this with your doctor? I would assume you have with the thyroid issues and all, but one never knows. Honestly I can't imagine running 40 mpw, 154 pounds and living on 1200 calories a day. Admittedly I'm 190 pounds but I eat that much by halfway through lunch (I'm in the 3000 calorie per day range).
Hello Len
Yes, I have discussed this with my doctor. His attitude (as with most people I've asked... personal trainers, gym rats, etc.) is that I'm not fat, so there isn't any problem. I realize that I'm not fat. But I also realize that I have a layer of fat that covers my body that should be going away with all the effort I'm putting forth. I just would like to weigh what I did three years ago (128). I know that I'm older and my metabolism keeps slowing, but at this rate I'll be 200 lbs by the time I'm 50. Each time I get my thryroid level checked I secretly hope that my dose is wrong and I'll need a higher one, but no such luck. As it is I am on a fairly large dose for being a female and for the size I am. I'm not being unrealistic in how I'd like to look. I know that the days of looking like one of the "Girls Next Door" are over. But looking a little more like Sandra Bullock or Halle Berry wouldn't hurt.:^0
If you look at all the latest research out there you'll find that you will not lose weight by drastically limiting your caloric intake. 1200 calories is strict, nothing. You need to increase your calories, eat small meals throughout the day, and implement some exercise that helps develop your large muscle groups thus increasing your metabolism. Your body is holding on to what it has because of the decreased calories.
I have heard what Teri said from other sources, but I don't really know enough to be sure how that works either. It's something to consider. Too bad we can't get Nancy Clark in on this discussion. (She's a well known sports nutritionist.) What I do know is that Kim should be burning 500+ calories per day and JeanAnnette 300 to 400 a day just from running. Your basic metabolic rate has to be pretty low to keep going on the remaining calories. And the thyroid issue really complicates the picture. If it were me I would want to find specialists on both the thyroid and the nutrition side, who also are sports/running oriented. That's a tough thing to do though I'm sure. Beyond that I'm out of suggestions. I hope you both find a solution.

HARROGATE, TN -- The Lady Railsplitters split a softball doubleheader with the King Tornado in non-conference action on Thursday at Dorothy Neely Field. Lincoln Memorial University (21-16) fell to King University (15-21), 7-5, in the opener to extend their season-long losing streak to six games before snapping that skid with a 6-2 win in the finale.
The Lady 'Splitters are set to return to Dorothy Neely Field and South Atlantic Conference play with a twin bill on Saturday against the Anderson University Trojans. The first pitch in game one is scheduled to be thrown at 2 p.m. in Harrogate, Tennessee.
Game One Box
King 7
Lincoln Memorial 5
King got off to a quick start in the first game of the afternoon, as lead-off hitter Christina Melcher popped a double into right field to set the stage for a two-run top half of the first for the Tornado. A sacrifice bunt advanced Melcher to third, where she scored on a single by Hannah Smith two batters later. Prior to Smith's single, Fallon Thomas singled back to the pitcher, and she went on to score off of an RBI-single by Amber Walker to give King an early 2-0 advantage.
The Lady Railsplitters did not trail for long, as Brianna Mulkey and Kelly Dreier led off with singles in the bottom half of the first and Amanda Snow walked to load the bases with no outs. Sarah Walz took advantage of that early scoring opportunity by driving a grand slam down the right-field line to propel Lincoln Memorial back in front, 4-2.
From that juncture, King worked to chip away at the Lady Railsplitters' lead. After an uneventful second frame from both sides, the Tornado picked up a run on a sacrifice ground out by Tori McComas, which plated Hannah Smith, who led off with a single in the top of the third. In the top of the fifth, McComas struck again, this time with a solo home run, to knot the game at four apiece.
Kelly Dreier tallied a one-out double in the bottom of the fifth, but a strike out and a ground out stifled that potential scoring rally for the Lady Railsplitters. In the top of the sixth, the Tornado assumed command of the game behind a three-run outburst. Octavia Lewis-Rand recorded the big swing of the inning with a two-run double to push the Tornado out in front, 7-4.
The Lady Railsplitters plated a run in the bottom of the sixth, as Laura Taricano, who reached on a fielder's choice, scored on a throwing error by the King second baseman, however, they would come up empty in the bottom of the seventh to drop the opener, 7-5.
Samantha Smith suffered the loss on the mound for the Lady Railsplitters after surrendering 10 hits and four earned runs in 6.2 innings of work. She struck out four batters over that span but issued three walks with one hit batsman.
Kelly Dreier led the Lady Railsplitters at the dish with two hits and a run in four plate appearances. Sarah Walz added four RBI in a one-for-four showing at the plate.
Hannah Light improved to 10-10 on the rubber for the Tornado after allowing only six hits in her complete-game performance. Light fanned seven batters and allowed four walks over seven innings of work.
King tallied a 13-hit outing in the opener, paced by Hannah Smith's three-for-four day with two RBI and a run. Octavia Lewis-Rand added two hits and two RBI, while Tori McComas chipped in with two RBI and one hit.

Game Two Box
Lincoln Memorial 6
King 2
Much like the opener, the Tornado got out to a quick start in game two, as they tallied two hits and two runs in the top half of the first to run out to a 2-0 lead. Christina Melcher led off with a single and went on to score on a passed ball. Hannah Smith added another run on an RBI-single, which plated Fallon Thomas, who reached thanks to a fielding error by the Lady Railsplitters.
Lincoln Memorial recorded a single hit in three of the next four innings but came up empty until they exploded for four runs in the home half of the fifth. After two-straight outs to open the inning, Brianna Mulkey and Kelly Dreier singled, while Amanda Snow was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs. Once again, Sarah Walz came through, as she slugged a double into the right-center field gap to clear the bases and give LMU a 3-2 lead. Cierra Mudd reached on an error in the next at-bat and Laura Taricano plated another run for the Lady Railsplitters with a single through the left side of the infield to extend the lead to 4-2.
The Lady Railsplitters kept the Tornado grounded in the top half of the sixth, and Danae Reed propelled LMU out to a 6-2 advantage with a two-run home run in the home half of the sixth. Reed's third home run of the season plated Ashley Hanes, who walked to lead off the inning.
Starter Samantha Smith shut the door in the top of the seventh, as she pitched around a one-out error to cap the Lady Railsplitters' 6-2 win in the finale.
Smith rebounded from the loss in game one with a stellar performance on the mound for Lincoln Memorial in the night cap. The frosh tossed a complete game and allowed only four hits in the contest while striking out five to improve to 15-9 on the season. Smith surrendered only one hit over the final five innings and did not issue a walk in the game.
The Lady Railsplitters doubled the Tornado's offensive outing with eight hits on the day, headlined by Brianna Mulkey and Kelly Dreier's two-hit performances. Sarah Walz added a game-high three RBI, while Danae Reed chimed in with two RBI and a hit.
Morgan White fell to 5-8 on the season for King after allowing eight hits and five earned runs in six innings of work. Hannah Smith recorded the lone RBI of the day for the Tornado.

These look nice but are apparently not designed for a little use. We had them for a little over a month (on a table for four that only two people usually use for one meal a day) before one of them opened up at the seam. I managed to repair the tear but just a week or two later, it happened in another spot and on another cushion. And then again on another cushion until all four had at least one hole within just a few months of purchasing. Their pretty color and style are not worth the trouble to maintain.
I was afraid they would be too small on my large seat DR chairs- but they are just perfect. Very happy with the size! And the color is just beautiful! They look even better in person, and are very comfortable. The ties are nice and long- I can actually tie a full bow around each chair leg (could not do that with my old ones). The individual "tufts" sewn in the pad are really cute and add a lot of character to an otherwise very functional item. My 2 year old already wrote marker on one of them, but I wiped it with a damp cloth and it came right off. If anything I might put anti-slip pads under each seat because for the kids they want to move a bit. Very happy with the pads and the price was right!

"Now I think I'm past all the awkward phases and stages, and once you feel the baby kick it's a whole new experience," Kardashian said Monday while attending the E! Network Upfront in New York. "I finally really embrace it. I love it now, but it took a minute. It was a lot, you know, a lot of body changes and stuff."
The reality star has received a lot of scrutiny over how she's chosen to dress her baby bump. For a while she avoided maternity clothes, wearing see-through tops and leather pants. The 32-year-old also opted to still wear designer clothing but in larger sizes that maybe weren't meant for an expectant woman.
Kardashian says she's not only feeling better but is pretty calm about giving birth and isn't nervous.
"At the beginning that was what I feared the most, and now, I mean, it's inevitable," she said. "It's gonna happen. I'm really not worried or nervous."
Kardashian and her baby's father, rapper Kanye West, know the gender of their child but are keeping it a secret. She said she's careful when she goes shopping to not give anything away.
"We buy all white," she said, laughing. "Or we'll go and buy both (girls' and boys' clothing), and then no one will know.
Besides Kardashian's belly, the cast of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" is getting bigger. The upcoming eighth season will include stepdad Bruce Jenner's sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner, along with Brandon's wife, Leah Jenner.
Brandon and Brody Jenner's mom is actress Linda Thompson, who was engaged to Elvis Presley.
Kardashian said it only makes sense to feature her step-brothers on the show.
"Our parents got married when I was 10 years old so people don't see that side of our lives," she said, "but they've been in our lives for so long so it's fun to share that with everyone."

The Breck Pro Team's elite 26 were announced Thursday for the 2012-13 season, a cadre of ski and snowboard professionals and amateurs, male and female, who are sponsored by Breck and represent the resort and community.
They train at Breck and they compete worldwide. The team includes returning athletes such as three-time XGames gold medalist Bobby Brown, top AFP overall world-ranking athletes Anna Segal and Keri Herman, former Olympic bronze medalist JJ Thomas and Summit County native Eric Willett.
"Being on the Breck Freeride Team means I have my home mountain as my backbone of support through my career," Willett said. "Breck is the mountain where I train, learn new tricks and compete in competitions. Athletes from all over the world come to Breck to train every year; it's definitely a privilege to have the best park in the world in my backyard. I was born and raised, started my career, married my wife - all here at Breck."
This year's team is comprised of athletes from five different countries, includes 15 Coloradans and seven hometown heroes who were born and raised in Breckenridge. Now, all on the team will call Breck their hometown.
New to the team are athletes like the United Kingdom's freeski big air and slopestyle star James Woods and 2012 Youth Olympic halfpipe and slopestyle silver medalist Arielle Gold.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The end of the year can be a time of reflection, of looking back on the journey made over the past year. It is also a time of new beginnings.
Snowmass Village has seen some changes this year, including new businesses and new faces in town. Some of those changes are still their infancy, and so the Snowmass Sun is looking forward to what 2013 and the years ahead will bring.
For the first time in several years, businesspeople and developers are feeling cautiously optimistic about the town's economic climate. Sales tax revenues were up for all but one month from June 2011 to October 2012. The Silvertree Hotel underwent a $55 million renovation and was transformed into the Westin Snowmass, and the Wildwood above the Mall got a facelift too.
With the change in ownership at the Westin and Wildwood, Snowmass said goodbye to some shops on the Mall, some of which had been there for many years. But a few, including the Snowmass Bakery and Local Rebels, have found new homes in the Village while others returned to theirs this season.
The stalled Base Village project finally found itself in a new owner's hands. An entity of Related Cos., which formerly owned the project starting in 2007, closed on a deal in September that transferred all the site's assets to the company and ended litigation with the lender group. Some people have expressed skepticism with the deal based on Related's history with the project - the company defaulted on a loan in 2009, sending the assets into foreclosure - but some progress has already been made. Since closing the deal, Related has made improvements to the Arrival Center, released residences at the Viceroy Snowmass for purchase and recruited new tenants for Base Village retail spaces.
Snowmass Village voters also made a lot of choices in this year's general election. The measure to increase the mill levy for the Snowmass-Wildcat Fire Protection District passed on Election Day, ensuring the department won't have to cut staff or continue drawing from reserves next year.
Snowmass voters also chose a new councilman, Chris Jacobson, in the general election. The majority of Snowmass residents also voted in favor of President Barack Obama's re-election, Amendment 64, which legalized recreational use of marijuana, and John Young for Pitkin County commissioner, although Young was defeated by Steve Child.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association has said that the January to November period of this year in Colorado was the driest on record in the state. While Snowmass Village's area was lucky to not have any large wildfires like other parts of the state, the drought still impacted everything from snow conditions to wildlife.
Last winter was one of the worst recorded in terms of snowfall for much of the U.S., and the Aspen Skiing Co. had to make do with about half the usual amount of snowfall in the area.
With higher-than-average temperatures as well, area bears came out of hibernation early only to find their food sources compromised by lack of water. In Snowmass Village, a trio of cubs continuously found their way into residents' cars.
Avalanche danger was also especially high last winter. Two local men died on the slopes in separate accidents on the same day in January, one of them a longtime local living in Snowmass at the time. Keith Ames, 43, was killed during an avalanche while skiing on Burnt Mountain adjacent to the Snowmass ski area.

The first Arab Regional Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction
Date: 19 - 21 March 2013
Location: Mövenpick Resort & Residences Aqaba King Hussein Street – 77110 Aqaba, Jordan
Disasters are not sudden events, they are the outcomes of natural hazards that affect highly vulnerable areas and populations with low capacities and resilience for disaster risk. Disasters occur when natural hazards meet high vulnerability and low resilience coupled with lack of information and data on risks.
Moreover, lack of resources, weak or non-existent early warning systems and fragile infrastructure all contribute to the magnitude of disaster losses in lives, livelihoods, assets, economy, environment, etc. It might take years for a disaster hit community or country to recover socially and economically.
The Arab region is not immune from disasters. Different parts of the Arab region are regularly exposed to geological hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, in addition to weather related hazards such as floods, extreme temperature events, drought, sand storms, wildfires and cyclones.
The 2010 Environment Outlook Report for the Arab Region points out that most of disaster losses in the Arab region were caused by drought, earthquakes, floods and storms. The report also states that more than 37 million Arab people were affected and more than 20 billion dollars were lost between 1980 and 2008 due to natural disasters.
Rapid urbanization, environmental degradation, water scarcity, changing demography and migration trends are further amplifying levels of vulnerability among the Arab population. Secondary risks associated with population displacement, disease outbreak, pandemic influenza, conflict and civil unrest pose multi-fold challenges to the region, on a larger scale than ever before. All these factors challenge countries and limit their capacities to reduce and manage disaster risk.
About the Conference
The first Arab Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) will bring together the key actors in DRR from the 22 Arab countries.
This conference will provide a forum for Arab politicians, policy makers, planners, academia and development experts to discuss issues and challenges facing the region with regard to disaster risk reduction. This session is being co-organized by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA), the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) and the League of Arab States (LAS).
The Conference will discuss:
- the existing policies and institutional mechanisms for disaster risk management
- the regional progress towards risk reduction and HFA implementation
- the regional position and input towards HFA 2 or post-2015 DRR Global Framework
- the nature of urban risks in the Arab region and
- good practices on urban risk management.
Based upon these discussions, the Conference will formulate and issue a Conference Outcome Statement and a Mayor's Declaration on Urban Risk Management in Arab Cities.
The Mayor's Declaration will set goals, targets and indicators for reducing disaster risks in the Arab Cities. The Mayor's Declaration will demonstrate commitment of the participating city authorities to improve their capacities for disaster risk management.
The Conference Outcome Statement and the Mayor's Declaration will also provide the basis for advocacy to city and national governments in the Arab region to enhance and accelerate their actions on disaster risk management.
Furthermore, the conference will also debate and discuss current globally evolving issues of concerns with regard to disaster risk reduction in order to understand their implications on the Arab region as well as how to best address them regionally and nationally in the context of Arab regions' priorities and challenges.
- The Conference will launch the Arab Regional Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction as a regional coordination mechanism on DRR that facilitate exchanges among countries and partners and ensure follow-up of progress and engagement of stakeholders in regional and global policies and plans on DRR and sustainable development
- Conference will facilitate development of an Arab position for the 4th session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction taking place in Geneva May 2013.
- Conference will facilitate development of recommendations for HFA 2 (post-2015)
- The Conference will issue an Arab Mayor's Declaration on Urban Risk Reduction that aims at establishing benchmarks for reducing disaster risks in the Arab cities, given the fact that many capital cities and business centers of the Arab region are exposed to variety of disasters, which could lead to colossal losses.
- Official delegations of the Arab governments representing national focal points for disaster risk reduction in each country
- Mayors from major high risk Arab cities
- The Secretariat of the Arab League and all the Arab specialized organizations
- United Nations organizations and International organizations working in the Arab region with focus on disaster risk reduction
- Bilateral development agencies
- Civil society organizations active in the field of risk reduction at the regional level
- Arab Funds for development, the Islamic Development Bank and the African Development Bank
- Arab media organizations
- Representatives from the private sector, insurance corporations concerned with issues of risk reduction and the Union of Arab Investors.

Two wet, blustery storms down, one more to go before the weekend is over.
The second in a series of three big storms blew threw the Bay Area on Friday, causing a peak of 13,800 power outages at noon, felling power lines and trees, snarling traffic and creating minor to moderate flooding on freeways, onramps and city streets. Weather Central meteorologist Tim Woebbeking warns another is on the way, expected to slam the Bay Area on Saturday.
"I would call that a very active pattern," Woebbeking said, "significant, and significant for this time of year. I see (rainfall totals of) 3.33 at Kentfield in the North Bay, I see 3.5 at Sonoma County Airport. I see 5.3 at Big Sur. That's certainly some heavy rainfall."
The first storm sped rapidly through the region Wednesday, while the second deluge that started Thursday night "stalled out" and lingered awhile, accounting for higher rain totals -- 1.96 inches at San Francisco airport, 1.99 inches at Oakland airport and 1.33 inches at San Jose's Mineta airport for the 24-hour period ending at 2 p.m. Friday.
With Saturday's soaker expected to deliver a similar punch, the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch through Monday morning for the coastal mountain areas. The region is expected to get a brief respite Monday, but there is a possibility of rain Tuesday, especially in the North Bay, Woebbeking said.
Much of Friday's damage occurred in Santa Cruz County, where heavy rain and wind knocked down power lines, particularly in the San Lorenzo Valley area. Lane closures were reported due to downed wires at Trout Gulch Road and Highland Way, and Highway 9 between Felton and Ben Lomond was closed all day for PG&E power line repairs. By midday Friday, 7 inches of rain had fallen in the Santa Cruz Mountains over a 24-hour period and residents and city officials were anxiously watching the streams and creeks.
"At this time, all rivers and streams are well below warning levels," said Melodye Serino, Santa Cruz County's public information officer. However, Serino urged Santa Cruz County residents to be ready for quick action if flash flooding is observed or a warning is issued.
Temporary power outages were experienced on the Bay Bridge, San Mateo Bridge and Richmond-San Rafael Bridge during the morning commute. San Francisco International Airport reported 60 canceled flights as of 2 p.m. Friday, and delays of up to three and a half hours.
Highway 84 experienced heavy flooding between Decoto Road and Newark Boulevard, and between Mission Boulevard in Fremont and Main Street in Sunol. A mud and rock slide closed the highway east of Palomares Road near Fremont. Highway 84's woes stretched into San Mateo County as well, when a fallen tree knocked down power and telephone lines and blocked the highway in Woodside early Friday morning, San Mateo County sheriff's officials said.
Alpine Road in San Mateo County reopened just before noon after being closed because of downed power lines and trees.
More than 7.5 inches of rain fell in parts of Sonoma County, and a fallen tree and downed wires blocked both directions of state Highway 1 in Olema on Friday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol. Highway 121 at State Route 12 was shut down due to flooding.
The East Bay suffered less disruption, although there scattered reports of flooding and two people were injured and taken to a hospital after their car spun out during the rainstorm and collided with other vehicles. The steady rain also forced the early dismissal of Antioch Charter Academy II, which is located in the flood-prone area near the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds and West Antioch Creek.
"We were looking at the weather report and the history of this creek," said teacher Tim Rubin. The baseball fields near the school were taking on quite a bit of water, which is an "indicator that we don't have much time," he said, adding that teachers at the school monitored the creek throughout the day to see if it was rising, and plan to do the same Sunday. If it crests the bridge, parents will be notified by phone, email and text message.
"It got close today. The creek was very high this morning, about a foot below the bridge. Luckily the tide was low," Rubin said.
There was flooding in downtown Martinez on Berrellesa Street and along a stretch of Marina Vista Road, public works superintendent Bob Cellini said. Though there was no flooding in Pleasant Hill on Saturday, public work crews would be on call throughout the weekend. Several weekend events were canceled in anticipation of inclement weather, including Oakland Zoo's ZooLights, known to be the largest LED holiday light display in the Bay Area. The event will instead open Monday and run through Dec. 31 (except for Dec. 24-25).
Sunday's monthly Alameda Antiques Fair was rescheduled for Dec. 9.
Friday night's Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Los Gatos was postponed until Dec. 7 because of flooding in Town Plaza Park. But Saturday morning's 56th annual Los Gatos Children's Christmas and Holidays Parade was still on.
"I just picked up the radios and the barricades are all ready, so we're a go," parade chairman Butch Lumby said.
Likewise, Saturday's 13th annual Oakland Holiday Parade in downtown Oakland was set to go on as planned, rain or shine.

I'm right now playing around with the new QCAD Version / Block Attributes.
My Question is: If I have more than three Block Attributes in a Block and will insert this block in my drawing - I'm only able to define, during the insert process, three Attributes?
Or in my test two - because the third one is not working?

Definition of feline in English:
- Having just recently lost a very favourite feline member of our household, the title caught my eye immediately.
- And the feline family 'plays' with its food before eating it, taunting and chasing their prey.
- My cat, being a fully paid-up member of the fastidious feline world, now refuses to eat anything else.
- Unafraid and unhurried, the great black beast padded silently down the centre of the trail, not quite a cat but a fluid feline shape.
- There were two eyes, oval in shape and quite feline in their appearance, riding above a long, thin, pointed nose.
- She had four legs with large clawed paws beneath her white-furred feline shape.
- But except for the Florida felines, as far as one can tell, wild cougars no longer live east of the Mississippi.
- Large felines like the bobcat and lynx don't have this physical feature, but the cougar does.
- She specialized in felines; from the alley cat to the Siberian Tiger.
- Example sentences
- She smiled in satisfaction and walked with an uncanny felinity, calling out.
- She very nearly made Edie feel inadequate by the sheer felinity of her movements, by the sensuous grace of her silent prowl, the lively flicks of her tail.
Late 17th century: from Latin felinus, from feles 'cat'.
cat from Old English:
The original Latin word for cat was feles, literally 'she who bears young' and also used of other animals such as polecats that were domesticated to keep down mice. This is the source of our feline (late 17th century). In the early centuries ad cattus appears in Latin. It is generally thought to be Egyptian, as this is where cats were first domesticated, but a Slavic language is another possibility. Most modern European languages used a word derived from this. It is typical of the different roles played in English by words from Latin and Germanic sources that while feline is generally linked with positive words like 'grace', catty (late 19th century) is an insult. Catgut (late 16th century) is typically made from sheep not cats, and may come from a joke about the caterwauling (Late Middle English), from cat and a word related to 'wail', noise that can be produced from the strings. Cat features in many colourful English expressions. A cat may look at a king, meaning 'even a person of low status or importance has rights', is recorded from the mid 16th century. If you let the cat out of the bag you reveal a secret, especially carelessly or by mistake. The French have a similar use of 'bag' in the phrase vider le sac, literally 'empty the bag', meaning 'tell the whole story'. When the cat's away the mice will play dates from the 15th century. To put the cat among the pigeons was first recorded in 1706, and appears then to have referred to a man causing a stir by surprising a group of women. No room to swing a cat probably refers not to the animal but to a cat-o'-nine-tails, a form of whip with nine knotted cords which was formerly used to flog wrongdoers, especially at sea. Something really good might be called the cat's whiskers, the cat's pyjamas or, in North America, the cat's miaou. Like the bee's knees, these expressions were first used in the era of the 'flappers', the 1920s. African-Americans started calling each other cats from the middle of the 19th century, a meaning that jazz musicians and fans took up. See also whisker.

Knee Replacement Surgery for Arthritis
In this article
Who Needs Knee Replacement Surgery?
You and your doctor may consider knee replacement surgery if you have a stiff, painful knee that makes it difficult to perform even the simplest of activities, and other treatments are no longer working. This surgery is generally reserved for people over age 50 who have severe osteoarthritis.
What Happens During Knee Replacement Surgery?
Once you are under general anesthesia (meaning you are temporarily put to sleep) or spinal/epidural anesthesia (numb below the waist), an 8- to 12-inch cut is made in the front of the knee. The damaged part of the joint is removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces are then shaped to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint. The artificial joint is attached to the thigh bone, shin and knee cap either with cement or a special material. When fit together, the attached artificial parts form the joint, relying on the surrounding muscles and ligaments for support and function.
What Are Recent Advances in Knee Replacement Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized knee replacement surgery as well as many fields of medicine. Its key characteristic is that it uses specialized techniques and instruments to enable the surgeon to perform major surgery without a large incision.
Minimally invasive knee joint replacement requires a much smaller incision, 3 to 5 inches, versus the standard approach and incision. The smaller, less invasive approaches result in less tissue damage by allowing the surgeon to work between the fibers of the quadriceps muscles instead of requiring an incision through the tendon. It may lead to less pain, decreased recovery time and better motion due to less scar tissue formation.
Currently this less invasive procedure is performed by only a small percentage of orthopedic surgeons in North America. Researchers continue looking at the short-term and long-term benefits of minimally invasive versus traditional knee replacement surgery.
What Happens After Knee Replacement Surgery?
The average hospital stay after knee joint replacement is usually three to five days. The vast majority of people who undergo knee joint replacement surgery have dramatic improvement. This improvement is most notable one month or more after surgery. The pain caused by the damaged joint is relieved when the new gliding surface is constructed during surgery.
After knee joint replacement, people are standing and moving the joint the day after surgery. At first, you may walk with the help of parallel bars, and then a walking device -- such as crutches, walker, or cane -- will be used until your knee is able to support your full body weight. After about six weeks, most people are walking comfortably with minimal assistance. Once muscle strength is restored with physical therapy, people who have had knee joint replacement surgery can enjoy most activities (except running and jumping).

Crews from Jackson County Fire District No. 5 and the Oregon Department of Forestry have stopped a wildland fire in its tracks after it grew to about three acres east of Phoenix.
The fire was reported at 12:49 p.m. in the 5700 block of Hughes Road, a rural area of orchards and farmland. Engineer Marcus Goss said sparks from a lawnmower ignited the blaze. A mix of engines, water tenders and grass rigs responded, along with about 13 firefighters. Crews had the flames knocked down by about 2:30 p.m.
ODF crews are currently finishing drawing lines around the fire and mopping up hot spots to prevent its further spread.
"The fire has been extinguished," Goss said.
Crews from Jacksonville Fire are also finishing up containing a grass fire in the 10000 block of Sterling Creek Road, which was reported at 1:33 p.m.
A lawnmower also ignited a small 15- by 20-foot fire in the 700 block of Tolman Creek Road in Ashland at 9:45 a.m. Crews had it under control in about five minutes, Ashland Fire & Rescue officials reported.

What challenges do palm oil producers face?
Among the 92 grower members of the RSPO there have been public commitments to produce up to 15 million tonnes of RSPO-certified palm oil by 2020—more than enough to meet the demand for palm oil in Europe and to start also supplying against demand in China and India.
Unfortunately, the users of palm oil in the RSPO have not yet matched these commitments.
Since the first batch of RSPO-certified palm oil was delivered to the market in 2008, less than half of what was available has been bought.
WWF's 2011 Scorecard shows that, although many retailers and manufacturers using palm oil have made public commitments to use only RSPO-certified palm oil, fewer have made public what volumes of palm oil they use or have started to actually use it.
This situation makes it very difficult for responsible growers, who have made commitments to produce RSPO-certified palm oil, to judge whether they have made the right decisions. It also hinders efforts to persuade other growers to start certifying.
In the longer run, it makes it difficult to persuade certified growers that the RSPO standards need to be improved. All this needs to happen and palm oil users need to play their part in making sure it does.
One of the reasons WWF is publishing a second Scorecard is to help growers ascertain what the likely demand for RSPO-certified palm oil is going to be in the coming years.
That is why we have not only recorded the commitments made but also asked the retailers and manufacturers to disclose what volume of palm oil those commitments represent.

SANTA CLARA -- Some Seattle Seahawks fans are aiming to purchase a commemorative brick at the San Francisco 49ers' new stadium -- prompting questions over whether the trash talk between two of the NFL's biggest rivals will make its way to the Niners' new home.
Dozens of Seahawks fans contributed more than $1,000 online to inscribe "Go Hawks" or other anti-49ers messages outside the team's shiny new palace in Santa Clara after the bricks went on sale last week. On Reddit, users suggested buying bricks with phrases such as "Congrats on the second best stadium in the NFC West," "Ravens 34, 49ers 31" (the score of this year's Super Bowl) or sly phrases in which the first letter of each word spells out "G-O-H-A-W-K-S."
But after drawing some media attention for the posts in Seattle and the Bay Area, some Seahawks fans are focusing on a more civil approach, saying they don't want to get a bad rap.
"That (an anti-49ers message) would probably get shot down so I don't think we're even going to try it," said Willy Hu, a 24-year-old Seahawks fan who organized the fundraising campaign. He said he'll put the brick language to a vote among the people who donated. "We don't want to say anything hateful or derogatory. It's the 49ers doorstep."
The 49ers declined to comment and stadium officials would not say whether they would block fans from opposing teams from buying bricks.
In an emailed statement, Boise, Idaho-based Fund Raisers, Ltd. -- which is managing the brick program for the team and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority -- said: "As is our standard practice, all brick messages will be reviewed to make sure they are appropriate for the (Stadium Authority), the community, the tenants and the stadium patrons."
Mayor Jamie Matthews lauded the firm's "experience and success with similar projects throughout the country."
"I have every confidence in their ability to handle this process professionally," he said in a statement.
The bricks are intended to raise millions of dollars to chip away at the $1.3 billion price tag for Levi's Stadium. The red and gold bricks cost $195 to $545 and allow fans to write three to six lines of text.
A Seahawks fan named Ben, who started the Reddit post as a joke, said he didn't contribute to the campaign because it'd be like throwing money down the toilet.
"I think the Niners would put a stop to it -- that's just common sense to me," said Ben, who did not want his last name used. "I think there's no way to do it other than to be polite and gracious."

3.5-7 Apportionment - One Defendant
(With Special Defense of Comparative Negligence) and One
Non-Defendant Apportionment Respondent
Revised to January 1, 2008
This charge is designed to be used when there is one plaintiff and one defendant
who has filed both a special defense of comparative negligence and a notice of
apportionment concerning a respondent who is not a party in the case. It is
designed to be given immediately following Comparative
Negligence – General, Instruction 3.5-1.
In addition to the defendant's claim
that the plaintiff contributed to (her/his) own injuries through (her/his) own
negligence, the defendant makes a claim regarding the negligence of another
person/driver,<insert name of apportionment respondent, hereafter "AR">,
who has not been sued in this case. Because the plaintiff has not sued AR, AR
is not liable to pay money damages to the plaintiff, but the conduct of AR has
been put in issue by the defendant. The defendant claims that AR was also
negligent and that, if the plaintiff suffered injury, it was AR's negligence
that legally caused injury to the plaintiff. Here are the defendant's claims
concerning AR's conduct:
<Charge on the specifications of
negligence against AR.>
I have previously explained to you
how to analyze claims of negligence and causation. The same analysis applies
with respect to the defendant's claim against AR; and, as with the defendant's
claim of comparative negligence against the plaintiff, the defendant bears the
burden of proof.
As to this claim that AR's negligence
was a cause of injury to the plaintiff, unless you first determine that there
will be a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, you need not evaluate the claim of
the defendant about AR's conduct. That is because a finding that AR was
negligent and that AR's negligence caused injury to the plaintiff serves only to
reduce any damages to the plaintiff from the defendant and not to relieve the
defendant of liability.
If you find that the plaintiff has
proved the claims against the defendant so that there will be a verdict in
plaintiff's favor and that the defendant has proved one or more of (his/her)
claims against the plaintiff or AR, or as to both the plaintiff and AR, you will
have to apportion the percentage of negligence attributable to the defendant and
that attributable to the plaintiff or to AR, or to both the plaintiff and AR,
with the total amount of negligence equaling 100%.
As I explained in my comparative
negligence instruction, you must then reduce the amount of damages to be awarded
to the plaintiff from the defendant by any percentage not attributable to the
defendant but rather attributable to the plaintiff or to AR or both. I will
give you two examples to illustrate these concepts.
EXAMPLE #1 – A finding that
both the defendant and AR were at fault
For example, assume you find that the
plaintiff has proved negligence and causation against the defendant and that the
defendant has proved NO negligence and causation against the plaintiff – that
is, no comparative fault on the plaintiff. You must still determine if the
defendant has proved negligence and causation against AR. If so, you determine
what percentage of negligence is attributable to the defendant and what
percentage is attributable to AR. If the defendant has proved that AR's
negligence caused injury to the plaintiff and that AR's negligence constituted
25% of all proven negligence that caused plaintiff's injury, you would then
reduce your award to the plaintiff by that percentage – 25% – that was
attributable to AR. If you determined that the plaintiff was entitled to
damages in the amount of $100, then you would reduce the damages by 25% and your
award to the plaintiff against the defendant would be $75. If you were to find
that all of the plaintiff's injuries – 100% – were the fault of AR, then that
would mean you have found that the defendant is not liable at all and your
verdict must be in favor of the defendant.
EXAMPLE #2 – A finding that
the defendant and AR and the plaintiff were all at fault
Assume that you find another set of
facts. Assume you find that the defendant and AR and the plaintiff were all
negligent to some degree in causing the plaintiff's injury. The rule still
remains that if the plaintiff is more than 50% negligent, the plaintiff cannot
recover any damages from the defendant regardless of the relative fault of AR.
Therefore, the analysis I am now describing only comes into play if you
determine that the plaintiff is 50% or less at fault and that AR's negligence
also caused injury to the plaintiff. You determine what the percentage of
negligence is for each, and you "apportion" damages against the defendant by
reducing the damages to which the plaintiff is entitled by the percentages that
are not attributable to the defendant.
Assume, for example, that the
defendant has proved that the plaintiff's negligence was 25% and that AR's
negligence was 50% of the negligence that caused injury to the plaintiff. If
your finding of damages were $100, you subtract $25 for the plaintiff's own
negligence and subtract $50 for AR's negligence, and the plaintiff is entitled
to an award of damages of $25 from the defendant. The verdict form I give to
you will provide a guide for you with spaces to fill in the blanks so that you
can report your findings.
Sample Apportionment Verdict Form (Plaintiff), Instruction 6.1. The judge
should consider distributing copies of the verdict forms to the jury in
conjunction with the delivery of this charge so that the jury can see the
practical effect of the charge before they begin their deliberations. General
Statutes §§ 52-102b, 52-572h; Carlson v. Waterbury Hospital, 280
Conn..125 (2006).

Hello there!
I have run in into a problem with some MKV files with several languages. Now, I know - and always use - the option of going into the Transcode folder and choosing the correct audio track and whatnot. But, I have run into a couple MKV files that do have the relevant audio tracks (I tested with GOM player and I can choose the different languages and it works perfectly), but there are no language options in the #transcode folder - just the file name. If I run it, it works, but in a language that I do not understand at all. :S
I have "eng" only set up in audio priority.
Would appreciate some help on this please, thanks a lot!

Robert Lester honoring his hometown fans
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:14 p.m.
MOBILE | If anyone observing Senior Bowl practices this week had any trouble identifying Robert Lester, the number 251 on his University of Alabama helmet was an easy giveaway.
The former UA safety is back in his hometown this week to try to impress NFL coaches and scouts before the NFL Draft, and he hatched the idea to pay tribute to his roots by pulling his five-year jersey number, 37, off his Crimson Tide helmet and adding his area code instead.
"It was my idea. I went in the locker room and made sure I got the decals. I did it all by myself," Lester said.
Plenty of Lester's friends and family members will be in attendance Saturday at the game. Another Alabama player from Mobile, offensive lineman D.J. Fluker, made the South roster but was unable to practice because of a calf strain. Lester is glad for the chance Fluker is missing.
"I just want to represent where I'm from. I get the chance to play in front of my hometown for the last time. I feel like I'm getting sent off somewhere," Lester said. "I want to show love for the fans in my hometown like they've shown to me in my career."
Lester played at nearby Foley High and was a high school teammate of former Alabama star Julio Jones. He won't be a first-round draft pick like Jones was two years ago, but prospects for subsequent rounds like Lester can help themselves immensely with a strong Senior Bowl showing. Nfldraftscout.com projects Lester as a third- or fourth-round pick.
"Robert's done a fantastic job for us, not only with how he's played the three years he started for us, but the leadership he's provided, the good understanding he has of the system and the scheme," UA coach Nick Saban said. "Robert's a very good athlete, he's got good ball skills, he's a good tackler. Everyone is going to try to evaluate his range, but he made a lot of interceptions and a lot of big plays for us. I think he's definitely got a future in the National Football League."
Lester said he has a keen awareness that NFL scouts are watching not only his play during practices, but other things such as hustle, body language, how he carries himself in interviews and more.
"Every day this week is like an interview. You've got to do the best you can. You go out and show what you're capable of doing. It went pretty good. It's fast out there," Lester said. "There is a lot of talent and a lot of competition. It's a job interview for everybody out there."
Lester has chosen Pat Dye Jr. as his agent, as has former Alabama linebacker Nico Johnson. Johnson, who is one of four Alabama players practicing at the Senior Bowl this week, said Lester is taking on the Senior Bowl challenge with high intensity.
"Throughout the whole year, he's a guy who played a lot. But he couldn't get as much playing time at the beginning of the year because we were beating everybody (badly) and we were out by the third quarter," Johnson said. "I think he feels like he's got more to show."
Reach Chase Goodbread at email@example.com or at 205-722-0196.
When: Saturday, 3 p.m.
Where: Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile

Two Montana oilmen who do a lot of work in North Dakota have a horse in the race in Kentucky, as well — literally.
Billings residents Carter Stewart and Ken Schlenker own a horse that is running in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. It's named Frac Daddy, a take on the oil drilling technique known as fracking.
Stewart tells The Forum newspaper (http://bit.ly/10wwlea ) that the horse is a tribute to all of the oil field workers in America and especially the Williston Basin in the Dakotas and Montana.
Frac Daddy's odds of winning are posted at 50-1, but Stewart says he's optimistic. He says he thinks the horse has a shot.

Knitter's Review
February 10, 2011
Few things divide the knitting community as deeply as charts. Some of us love to see our stitches in graphical form. But others need to read their stitches in words.
To resist charts in knitting is like resisting the purl stitch. Once you make friends with charts, a whole new world of creative possibility opens up for you. If you're ready—or if you already love charts but want to learn how to use them even more to your advantage—let JC Briar's new book Charts Made Simple be your guide.
