The nifty footwork of quarterback Antwuin Prowes and the steady leg of kicker Loren Fonseca was the ultimate difference as the host Hercules High football team walked off the field with a 34-33 victory over Kennedy, second straight Tri-County Athletic League-Stone Division title and another shot at the postseason.
Hercules (9-1, 5-0) ran the table on the Rock Division but it took a 54-yard scramble by Prowes in the game's waning moments to hold off a game and competitive Kennedy (4-6, 4-1) team. The Titans will now advance to the North Coast Section Division III playoffs.
Kennedy fullback Ernie Timoteo, who led all ball carriers with 163 yards on 34 carries, scored five touchdowns, and his 4-yard bolt with 5:03 left in the contest gave the Eagles their one and only lead of the game at 33-27.
He added another 2-yard touchdown run earlier in the fourth quarter and a two-point conversion on the touchdown play as Kennedy tied the game at 27-all with 7:11 left on the clock. Timoteo scored on runs of 6, 3 and 1 for his other scores.
Hercules led 14-13 at the intermission. An electrifying 81-yard kickoff return by senior Jalen Doss gave the Titans a 21-13 edge.
Prowes was the top offensive threat for Hercules, ending the game with 152 yards on 14 carries and three touchdowns, including the game winner.
Kennedy quarterback Roman Espinosa completed eight of 15 passes for 153 yards.
Albany 52, John Swett 0: Running back Jack Johnson celebrated his final home game with a three touchdown performance in the host Cougars' win over John Swett (3-7, 1-4 TCAL-Stone). Albany (3-7, 3-2) jumped out to a 8-0 lead four plays into the game when Rio Root took a pass from fellow senior quarterback Nicholas Sternad and scored from 45 yards out.

2.0 is a notable improvement over the previous versions, as far as speed and functionality. As far as Windows boxes are concerned, 2.0 (unoptimized) is faster in my experience than IE7, and usually better than IE6. On my Mac, it's bordering on Safari's speed to the point that I am almost ready to drop Safari entirely (I still use it out of habit, the previous versions of FF were noticeably slower).
All in all, a truly great browser. I've tried Omniweb, Opera, and several other browsers, and I keep coming back to Firefox because it's just plain better.
Yes 'diggn_it' I do indeed find these tools very useful.
I can see you have had a quick whip round to bash the other browsers. And yes I'm a fan of OmniWeb. I tend to use every browser I can find. Firefox does indeed have great versatility. I've had a look at and do use some extensions and will launch Firefox to use them. It's just a shame that the user experience is just not as nice. You are left to either leave all the toobars out or go to some length turning lots of nonstandard bit on and off to keep your surfing clutter free.
I work as a designer and also have problems with Mozilla browsers picking up Postscript fonts over the system fonts and then rendering them badly. I also have problems with forms and the search field being locked up on my older mac.
But as I have pointed out before Firefox is a great browsers. Perfect for those who wish to treat their browser like a Swiss army knife for the internet. What other browsers offer may at first appear to be a bit 'touchy feely' is actually tighter integration with a mac users work habits.
Everyone should keep a copy of Firefox in their applications folder, but it's worth having a long think about what one wants from a browsers and shopping around. Most have a little something the others don't.
Name one feature? How about thumbnails of all your tabs (Omniweb & Shiira). How about site specific preferences? And they need to sort those dog-ugly widegets out!! I only open Firefox to make use of those very useful web developer orientated extensions. It just not 'mac' enough. I would say I use it as about as often as Opera (ie not much). They are the same but different. Get used to how either work and they do the job, but they are not for me.
That said, if someone asks me to recommend a browser I would still say Firefox, but only because it is popular enough to run into less problem websites and certainly better than Safari.
I still get locked out of form fields on the old blue & white G3.
Google for Adblock, Filterset.G, and FlashBlock. Those three extensions should make your browsing experience a little more pleasant.
GREAT shout there. I just did as you recco'md and switched to the Deer Park release. MUCH faster especially if you have more than 4 extensions installed.
The only thing I changed was the icon from the G4 globe back to the standard firefox one.
Here is the link for those who are interested:
PS as it is the same app only streamlined, it keeps the same file structure so your bookmarks/settings/prefs etc remain unchanged. Simply trash your old Firefox (NOT with Appzapper, just the firefox.app alone, leave the ancillary files) and start using the deerparks version instead.
Firefox themes especially made for Mac OS X
"The themes are based on the Mac Firefox default theme and are designed to fit well in the Mac OS X environment."
As others have said, the extensions are what make Firefox the killer app of Mac web browsers. Having become reliant on certain conveniences that I get from the Firefox extension community, it's hard to switch away even to prettier and faster browsers!
That said, the speed issue is hugely reduced (I wouldn't say eliminated) by getting an optimized build. Because Firefox is cross-platform, the official download is basically a generic executable that plays nicely with the major operating systems. In keeping with the spirit of open source, dedicated geeks from around the world have taken the code and compiled it with special flags to optimize it for particular platforms. Personally, I like the Deer Park releases from BeatnikPad for my Macbook; it still isn't quite as fast as Safari, but it's noticeably better than the default Firefox.
Very good.....but not as good as Safari
I don't like Firefox for 2 reasons
1. It's not a Cocoa application
2. I don't like extensions, Firefox looks like a Christmas tree to me
OmniWeb 5.5 b1 is much faster. But Firefox is my favorite browser on Windoze.

My vote goes to Findlay Prep in Nevada. They have one of the nation's best power forwards in Tristan Thompson and point guards who can do everything in Corey Joseph
Oak Hill obviously needs to be high in the rankings. They have some of the best talent year in and year out. Montrose CHristian is another to keep an eye on. But my sleeper team to finish No. 1 is White Station TN
White Station is a bball powerhouse how I feel never gets any love. They always have some legit teams. Im sure a Texas team will sprout up to be very good Duncanville was suppose to be that last year and had like 7 -9 losses.
One of the best teams in California Mater dei lost to Orange Glen a few days ago. Is this a sign that the monarchs are not quite as good as the preseason rank? I still think mater dei is one of the top teams in the state.
Mater Dei has two losses already after falling to Gonzaga Prep last week as well. Mater Dei was hit hard by graduation losing the Wear Twin both 6'11 and now at UNC and Andy Brown 6'8 and at Stanford. They do return one of the states best pgs in Gary Franklin (CAL) and Tyler Lamb (UCLA) and a transfer but the experience and height they had last year is hard to replace.

CINCINNATI (November 5, 2012)--President Barack Obama is counting on former President Bill Clinton and Bruce Springsteen, top surrogates for his campaign, to carry his message, but he also has enlisted an army of A-list performers and public figures ranging from Lady Gaga to Billie Jean King, from Jay-Z to Crosby, Stills and Nash to promote his re-election.
The Obama campaign provided a who's-who of 181 actors, musicians, authors, athletes, mayors, and more that fit any and all demographic groups in the president's target zone.
All are being deployed to carry his message to television and radio in the waning days of the campaign.
The list includes some of Hollywood's big names such as Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson.

Auburndale Man Tells Deputies 'Bear Hugs' Responsible for Fatal Injuries to Stepson
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 3:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 3:39 p.m.
BARTOW | Edwin Cruz Vargas told detectives he didn't intend to kill his 11-month-old stepson but out of frustration gave him "bear hugs" that might have broken the boy's back or caused fatal injuries Aug. 4.
Prosecutors recently released new documents in the first-degree murder case against Cruz Vargas, including a recording of his interview with deputies.
The 26-year-old Auburndale man demonstrated on a baby doll how he bounced and squeezed his stepson when his growing frustration boiled over, the records show.
"I really didn't mean nothing to happen," Cruz Vargas said. "I really did not."
In addition to murder, Cruz Vargas is charged with aggravated child abuse stemming from the death of his stepson, Josiah L. Figueroa.
Cruz Vargas pleaded not guilty to the charges, court records show. His lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Robert Trogolo, declined to comment for this story.
A trial has not yet been scheduled.
The State Attorney's Office has decided not to seek the death penalty in the case. If convicted as charged, Cruz Vargas faces life in prison.
Investigative reports estimate Josiah was left in Cruz Vargas' care for less than an hour on the afternoon of Aug. 4 before the man called 911 for help.
Cruz Vargas initially told detectives he didn't do anything to harm his stepson and said he thought the child died from choking on some baby formula, reports state.
An autopsy later found Josiah's lower back was broken. There were also visible bruises on the front and top of the boy's head, and his brain was extremely swollen.
Detectives worked to piece together what took place inside the family's mobile home on Oleander Avenue.
The boy's mother, Rebekah Figueroa, had left to attend an Herbalife meeting, and Cruz Vargas stayed home to watch Josiah.
Rebekah Figueroa told investigators her son was a healthy baby who didn't suffer from any ailments or diseases.
When detectives confronted Cruz Vargas with the autopsy's findings, and he described squeezing the child in a fit of frustration. "I didn't measure my power, my strength."
Cruz Vargas told detectives he was feeling sick that day and decided to skip breakfast. When his wife left for the meeting, he stayed behind to take care of Josiah.
He recalled the boy as happy and laughing at first. But during a session of trying to teach the boy to walk, Cruz Vargas said his stepson was tiring and began to whine.
"Josiah was kind of like a little lazy at some points," Cruz Vargas said. "He didn't crawl. He was lazy. He didn't want to. He always wanted to be held."
Cruz Vargas said his frustration with the boy's fussiness grew, and he resorted to "bear hugs," kissing and bouncing the child as a way to soothe him.
He said that after squeezing Josiah he gave the boy a bottle of baby formula. He said the formula came out of the boy's mouth and nostrils, and he called 911.
Cruz Vargas told detectives he pounded on Josiah's back to try and get the formula out, and he suggested damage to the child could have happened then. He said he performed CPR until emergency workers arrived to take over.
Cruz Vargas insisted throughout his recorded statement that he didn't mean to harm the boy and any injuries were unintentional.
"I was, like, overwhelmed," he said.

Feds approve plan to identify source of Gulf sheen
Published: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 6:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 6:02 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Federal officials said late Friday they have approved a joint plan from BP and Transocean to identify the source of a sheen in the Gulf Of Mexico associated with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Officials said in a news release that the federal on-site coordinator approved the joint plan on Thursday. Coast Guard Capt. Duke Walker had required the plan, and federal officials informed BP and Transocean they might be held responsible for the costs of identifying the source and the cleanup.
Federal scientists and BP say oil appears to have leaked last month from the drilling wreckage lying at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico near where a BP well blew out in 2010, causing the nation's worst offshore spill.
A probe started after a sheen was discovered Sept. 16 in the waters near the site indicates the oil may have seeped from a mile-long metal tube, called the riser, which connected the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to the Macondo well.
The plan calls for "satellite observations and mobilizing remotely operated vehicles to examine the original Macondo well area including the wreckage, debris and the riser on the sea floor," according to the news release.
The Coast Guard will oversee the remote vehicle mobilization Sunday, with operations taking place early next week, logistics and weather permitting.
The well itself, capped after more than 200 million gallons of oil spewed, is not believed to be leaking, officials said. The oil sheen posed no environmental threat because it was a small amount of oil and was far from land, federal officials said.
The announcement of oil leaking out comes at a sensitive time as BP and the Justice Department negotiate terms of a possible settlement to resolve government's claims against the oil giant. Several billion dollars are at stake if the talks produce a settlement for what likely will be record-setting civil and criminal penalties.

Two mothers and their children in a boat
Two mothers and their children in a boat, a large canvas demonstrating Mary Cassat's allegiance to the Impressionist movement, depicts two young women in a boat with their children who are ready for a swim.
The scene could have been observed on the pond at the Château de Beaufresne where Mary Cassatt spent the last years of her life.
The two women dressed in gowns by the couturier Paquin, quite unsuitable for the pleasures of boating, offer an opportunity for some fine painting. The delicacy of their complexions is emphasised by the strong contrast between the complementary yellow and violet of the fabrics. The painter has chosen to frame the painting in such a way as to exclude the sky. The boat is completely surrounded by the blue-green reflection of leaves on the water. The allusion to Japanese prints can be detected in the distortion of perspective and the bold diagonal of the boat, the end of which is excluded from the field.
This painting was incorporated into the Petit Palais collections during the artist's lifetime courtesy of the son of a major American banker, James A. Stillman. When he retired to Paris in 1909, Stillman asked Mary Cassatt to advise him on the purchase of works to expand his personal collection. At the time of his death in 1918, he owned some twenty works by Cassatt including Two mothers and their children in a boat, initially purchased in Paris in November 1910 from the Durand-Ruel gallery.

A 22-year-old woman was seriously injured early Wednesday morning when her car struck a tree and she was thrown from the vehicle.
The woman, whose name was not released, was driving a blue Dodge Avenger west on Koons Road at 12:55 a.m. when the vehicle ran off the road and hit a tree, said Inspector Bill Holland of the Summit County sheriff's department in a news release.
Deputies believe speed was a factor, and the Summit County Sheriff's Office Crash Team continues to investigate.
The victim's condition was not listed.

Good day to all.
Just wanted to mention that in newer versions (1.02 and 1.03) some ASS/SSA subtitles, encoded in cyrillic, are totally unreadable. Thinking that this may be a Windows problem (we ARE talking about Windows here), i tried to roll back to earlier version (1.00) and it worked just fine. Please, take some time and look into this problem, 'cause i think it's really important for some people (including me).
Also is there any way to correct the timing of the subtitles?

Police are looking for two men who unwittingly entered a closed fast food restaurant, stole food and made a mess.
Officers said the pair walked into the Delhi Road White Castle about 2:15 a.m. Jan. 25 and found that it had closed.
Instead of leaving, police said they stayed inside for about 20 minutes.
They not only helped themselves to food, police said, but they also threw food around the inside of the eatery.
The men left in what appeared to be a silver or tan Pontiac Bonneville.
The case remains under investigation.

Standard Setting Luxury and Speed
Fountain's 48 Express Cruiser was designed to set a new standard in high-speed luxury diesel powered yachts. Although slow when getting out of the hole she planed off in an unbelievable burst of speed
Good Room for Entertaining
The cabin features a wraparound sofa with TV/VCR combination for comfortable entertaining. The galley has Corian countertops, sink, two-burner stove, and a wet bar with icemaker.
Overnight in Total Comfort
The layout on the 48 Express Cruiser features a forward cabin with large V-berth with comforter and pillows, dresser, and cedar-lined hanging locker.
Good "Head Room" Below
The stand up head offers plenty of room to comfortable move around.
Give your Guests the Royal Treatment Too!
The guest quarters are privately located aft. Inside is a queen-sized bed that is sure to make guests think you gave them the master cabin.
Fountain's 48 Express Cruiser was designed to set a new standard in high-speed luxury diesel powered yachts. The 48 Express Cruiser was just introduced into the line for 2002. Fountain has incorporated diesel power into this beauty while maintaining her luxury and speed.
The 48 handled very well and was easy to maneuver to and from the docks. She was a bit slow when getting out of the hole however when she planed off an unbelievable burst of speed took her to a top speed of 65.1 miles per hour. A 48-foot diesel boat reaching that speed is very impressive! We found her best cruising speed to be 43.4 miles per hour, and she handled the tight turns like a true thoroughbred. Now this boat was built with racing in mind but she will hold her own in open ocean conditions.
When standing at the helm of a 48-footer it's quite impossible to see everything around you, however in the 48 Express Cruiser your visibility is much greater than most boats this size because of the sleek low profile of the bow. The helm on the 48 Express is just what you would expect to find on a racing boat, and this being a diesel you'll find a few extra gauges on this full instrumentation panel.
The layout on the 48 Express Cruiser starts with a forward cabin fit for royalty, with a large v-berth with comforter and pillows, a dresser, and cedar-lined hanging locker. There's also a stand up head with plenty of room to move around. The galley has Corian countertops, sink, two-burner stove, and wet bar with icemaker. The cabin features a wraparound sofa with TV/VCR combination, and there's also an aft cabin with a queen size bed for any quests that stay aboard.
Topside the lounge area starts just aft of the captain's chair and has enough seating for eight to ten people. The engine hatch is just aft of the lounge area and doubles as a sun pad. A bench seat aft seats another two to three people and there's a walk-through to the swim platform on the portside. The 48 has an impressive layout both topside and down below.
So if you have the experience in boat handling, and you want to maintain a high standard in speed and luxury, you'll appreciate this exceptional cruiser, and the safe fuel-efficient benefits of a diesel power plant

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, April 18, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Hyde Park relocation process continues. City leaders say everything is on time, but there is still lots of red tape.
Renters are being moved out, and homeowners are glad it's their turn next.
"I packed up three months after our last meeting. I started packing then," said Hyde Park resident Joanne Jones.
Jones has lived in Hyde Park her whole life and is more than ready to go. Every box has a label and is in its proper place.
"I'm somewhat pleased and happy. I will not be totally happy until I see the first package going to homeowners," Jones said.
"I'm glad once we're able to get the title work done.The appraisers are on board," said Housing and Community Development Executive Director Chester Wheeler.
The first round of property appraisals took place during Master's Week. One more round will have to happen before the city can start to buy their property.
"After we get the appraisals and know exactly what we are looking at, then we will move forward. We will try and find them places," Wheeler said.
"I have already spotted land in house plans and presented them to housing. I plan to move to south Augusta on Deans Bridge Road," she said.
Jones will have to stay on that road a little longer. The city plans to relocate 25 families per year.

Imagine : In the realm of highest possibilities, what could America look like in 50 years? What kinds of changes would have to occur in order for that to happen? How can an individual or an institution best contribute to such change? And what is the deeper story trying to emerge within this nation and the world? Best-selling author Marianne Williamson posed these questions to nearly 40 of her well-known contemporaries, inviting them to open their imaginations to all the possibilities that could exist. Imagine is their collective response: a powerful, provocative, and compelling vision of a better America and a prescriptive call to action for significant positive change.

SAN JOSE -- Just when it looked as if the Sharks' dormant offense might be waking up, the defensive side of their game went to sleep.
Three Philadelphia Flyers goals in less than a three-minute span early in the third period Monday night doomed San Jose to a 5-2 defeat, but it wasn't as if the Sharks and coach Todd McLellan didn't see it coming.
"Even in the second period, we weren't the better team," McLellan said. "We were playing with fire. It was a matter of time. If we were going to continue to play that way, we were going to get burned. And we did."
Two first-period goals by rookie Matt Nieto matched San Jose's production for the previous four games combined -- shootouts excluded -- and enabled the Sharks to enter the third period with a 2-1 lead. But goals by Philadelphia forwards Matt Read, Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux before many in the crowd could get back after the second intermission turned things around quickly.
The Sharks contributed to their own demise as the Flyers beat San Jose for the first time since Dec. 21, 2000.
Read's goal at 1:11 came on what looked like a harmless shot from a harsh angle in the right faceoff circle that clipped defenseman Matt Irwin's stick. Just 78 seconds later, the Sharks failed to clear their zone, and Raffl pounced on a loose puck after Marc-Edouard Vlasic had blocked the previous shot. And Giroux made the Sharks pay at 3:56 for a neutral zone turnover by Irwin.
"I've got to go up the wall on that," Irwin said, taking responsibility. "I heard 'man on, man on,' and I should just bump that right up the wall. It's the safest play. I kind of turned and just wanted to get it out. That's just the wrong play at that time."
Giroux's goal prompted McLellan to yank Antti Niemi for the fifth time this season, but the Sharks coach said that while "Nemo's got to stop some of those," it was really a "team-wide issue."
The Flyers opened the scoring on a power-play goal by Mark Streit at 4:23 of the first period and closed it on a shot by Jakub Voracek that beat backup Alex Stalock with 2:16 left in the game.
Nieto was involved -- directly or indirectly -- in all three first-period goals. He was in the box for hooking when Streit scored, then ended San Jose's 0-for-16 drought on the power play when he redirected a centering pass by Tommy Wingels past Flyers goalie Steve Mason at 7:33
The Sharks took their 2-1 lead at 12:32 when Brent Burns sent a slick backhand pass to Nieto as he cut to the net through the right faceoff circle for a quick 11-foot wrist shot for his first multi-goal game.
But McLellan said he saw troubling signs at that point.
"In the first, I didn't think we were as sharp as we needed to be," he said. "We broke the cardinal rule. When you get outworked and you get outnumbered all over the rink, you're going to lose. It's as simple as that."
Philadelphia had the Sharks on their heels much of the second period but needed to wait until the third period before its comeback began.
San Jose did get two power play chances in the third period -- one less than a minute after Giroux's goal -- but failed to capitalize
"You go down 4-2, it would have been nice to score on the power play," Joe Thornton said, "but it's tough when they get three quick ones like that."
The announcement came on the same day that the NHL named Pavelski its third star for the month of January, when he had a league-high 12 goals in 17 games and added four assists. Finishing ahead of Pavelski were Carolina Hurricanes goalie Anton Khudobin and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel.

I've considered renaming this blog "Reana Louise talks about the weather," but to be honest that sounds boring. Maybe my weather talk is boring, but in trying to live sustainably I obsess about the season. You may know Brisbane's current situation 'oh-my-fucking-god-am-i-swimming-through-lava?' as its less descriptive name: 'a heat wave.'
Heat is fine. Heat is dandy. But there's something real awkward about being at the farmer's market and maintaining direct eye-contact with a lovely old chap who you're buying a fig off while you're really, very conscious of the fact you have beads of sweat hitting your knicker line. Does he know? Oh god, does he have beads of sweat reaching the top of his knickers? Do farmers have knickers? Should I break eye contact, or would that make it more awkward? How the hell can the back of my knee produce so much sweat?
All useless whinging aside (why do I let you guys see this side of me?!), the farmer's market (I usually go here) is the place to be for local, fresh, delicious food and ingredients. One my favourite post-market meals is smoked salmon pasta with zucchini and lemon salad. Fresh. Simple. Good with wine. Minimal preparation. Farmer's knickers not included.
Smoked salmon pasta with zucchini & lemon salad - Serves 2
1 zucchini (use 2 if small)
Juice of half a lemon
Good quality olive oil (~1 tbs)
200g fresh fettuccine
170g piece smoked salmon
75g greek or natural yoghurt (2 heaped tbs)
20 capers
Herbs ripped into smaller pieces - If you already have herbs on the salmon, like I did, you won't need much. Any herb is fine, dill is particularly delicious with salmon! When ripping don't be precious, it's hot so we'll just say it's rustic ;)
Salt & Pepper
How to
1. Cut off the hard bit on the top of the zucchini, where it joins to the plant
2. Using a peeler, cut your zucchini long ways into long, thin ribbons
3. Put zucchini ribbons into a bowl. Mix through lemon juice and olive oil. Leave aside until pasta is ready
4. Now for the pasta! Cook pasta as per the instructions
5. Using the back of a fork, roughly 'smoosh' your smoked salmon
6. Mix your smooshed salmon with ripped herbs, yoghurt, and capers
7. Serve on top of cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper

Roland R-05: Handheld Recorder for Musicians, Engineers & More
The Roland R-05 field recorder has arrived at Sonic Electronix! This little darling packs a lot of great features in a small (read as "affordable") package. It certainly defies those nasty old connotations behind the phrase, "You get what you pay for." How would you like the ability to record audio at professional studio quality resolutions without the hassle of carting around a bunch of gear? The R-05 can record uncompressed WAV files at 24-bit/96kHz for just under an hour on the included 2 GB SD memory card.
Or, if you'd be satisfied with CD quality audio at 16-bit/44.1kHz, you can record up to 88 min. per GB: the length of several albums worth of material. You can even record both WAV and MP3 files, for quality and sharing purposes respectively, without the tedium of dumping the files onto your computer and converting them manually. Pretty convenient, eh?
What About The Musicians, Man?
|This unit is packed with some real handy features for musicians. The R-05 comes with Looping and Speed Change features that can help vocalists and guitarists to practice by looping or slowing down pieces of audio without altering the pitch. You could conversely speed up the audio 150% to quickly skim through a song in order to start jamming as soon as possible.For the more eager (read as "impatient") of us out there who want to start playing immediately, the R-05 has a feature called Rehearsal Mode that will automatically set an optimum recording level – no need to spend lots of time messing with input levels. With this convenient feature, there's no need to worry about overloading the input(s) and ending up with a remarkably high-resolution recording that's sadly distorted beyond recognition.
Did You Fall Asleep In Class AGAIN?
|While certainly no substitute for a good night's sleep or for the highly respectable behaviors of actually staying awake and paying attention in class, the R-05 can serve as a real handy backup study aid for students. Simply set the recording quality to 128 kbps MP3 (lectures don't necessarily need to be recorded at astounding, crystal-clear quality, you know), and hit record. Backups like that can definitely be life savers, especially if you're not too good at taking notes.After you're done studying, feel free to give your left brain a rest, load up some tunes onto the memory card and rock out for the next 30+ hours or so. The R-05 has quite the extensive battery life – perfect for you insomniacs out there! Hey, if KISS could rock and roll all night, why shouldn't you? Make sure to check out our handy list of optional accessories when you pick up your R-05!

I was part of the bike tour for this event and I have to say that I thought everything was perfect! It's awesome being the first one out of the course and seeing so many people up and helpful that early. Thank you to everyone that volunteered and offered support. You have no idea how much your cheers and encouragement helped as I made my way through the course!
I had a great time. Thanks to Cliff Bar for having the marathon pacing groups! What a great experience. I qualified for Boston!
The weather was PERFECT- overcast and drizzly. I was terrified last weekend when it was 90 degrees in Long Beach! What a difference a week makes.
I LOVED the course. It varied. The boardwalk was great. Hearing the ocean waves crash onto the shore was very relaxing. Super cool to have all of those college teams out to cheer us on when we weaved through CSULB campus! Please thank them for us. The high-fives and cheers really gave me a boost. I'll be BAAACK. I'd recommend this course to anyone. Fast and fun.
This year I did the bike tour (last year and ran the 1/2). I don't think they care much about the bike tour, we didn't get timing chips which shouldn't be a major expense as all of the timing equipment is out on the course. There were no photo line photographers and we didn't get the same great snacks the runners did.
The line for the foot bridge was ridiculous, please add more foot bridges in the future.
My first 1/2 marathon and I couldnt have picked a better one!! Had a great time,the crowd was wonderful,music was good, and so was everything else !!! Great itme see you next yr!!!!
I ran the 1/2 marathon yesterday...definitely some goods and bad about Long Beach worth noting
It was a fun course that snaked through town and along the beach. Things got a little cramped on the beach running paths (they weren't designed to handle that many people) but it was still nice.
The weather was ideal for running, mid 60s and overcast.
The expo was also set up well and it was easy to get my bib/shirt/goodie bag.
The pre-paid parking was efficient and I had no trouble getting to the lot and parking.
The technical shirts looked really nice, but they're too narrow of a cut. Their XXL was about the size of a regular XL shirt and I heard several people complain about them not fitting properly.
The wave start could have been handled a little cleaner. The volunteers didn't seem to know how to properly inform/corral the runners. It lead to some confused runners and a little bit of chaos.
The layout/execution of the post race party. It was spread out without any proper layout or organization. And worst of all was getting out of the party. The only real exit was walking over one bridge and it had about a 20-minute wait to use it. Not only is this very inconvenient (just ask the poor people who ran a marathon to stand for almost half an hour) but also extremely dangerous...what if there was an emergency? Can you say "stampede." This MUST be redesigned.
The bag check was a disaster. Bags were strewn everywhere without any logic. The poor kids working the booth just looked lost and without enough supervision. After 25 minutes of them being unable to find my bag, I stepped in myself and sorted for another 15 minutes before finding my bag (well away from where it should have been). This needs to be handled better. I do think it's funny that this was sponsored by an airline (Jet Blue).
I echo the issues posted about the horrendous LINES to get from the finish area over to the baggage claim area. Once I arrived (over 45 minutes later), baggage claim couldn't find my bag so I had to dig for it myself.
How do directors expect competitors to relax and enjoy post-race festivities when they cannot get to their sweatshirt to take off the chill? I find it difficult to lounge and socialize in sweaty workout gear when I'm shivering!
I did the LB Half Marathon in '05 and it was so much more manageable in terms of size and organizational structure. The event has grown significantly in 5 years which is good, but directors MUST keep the COMPETITOR in mind to make it as comfortable for us as possible. After all...it's about us, not the spectators.
Going forward I will not attend the LB Half...I will find smaller half marathons and stick to them.
I ran the 1/2 marathon. This was my second 1/2 marathon and I previously ran the full marathon a few years back. We love this race as there is always a lot of support on the course. Plenty of water stations, etc. Having said that, this year I noticed a definite lack of forethought regarding the finish line festival in that there was only one way back over to the downtown area and that was to cross a bridge over the course. We waited in that line 30 minutes and then it just got hectic with people cutting in line, etc. Also, moving the start line made for some confusion for those of us who have run this race previously since the change was not communicated properly. Also, PLEASE announce to walkers to stay out of the middle of the road next year.
The wave starts is a great idea - if you can separate the various waves!
You need to organize the waves so that there are entry points into the starting area with volunteers ensuring you are entering the correct wave... there were so many Wave 1 people who had to start in Wave 4 and that eliminates any possibility of a good start.
The race course, volunteers, first aid, water stations were all top notch.
The finish area was very weak - a bag w/ a banana and apple? seriously?
And then all the vendors with food that were for purchase was on the opposite side of the bag check... So, if your money was in your checked bag, you needed to wait 20 min to cross the bridge, get your bag, and wait another 20 min to get back over... no thanks... need some better logistical planning on that one.
I have run or walked this marathon as a both a full and half since 2005. This is a wonderful course that highlights the best parts of the city. This year I ran the half. The medal is their best yet.
The pre-race and expo are great. The pre-paid parking was also a great idea. I purchased a parking permit the night before, was emailed a receipt and used it as entrance to the lot. Post race, me and other runners found that the pedestrian entrance/exit of the underground lot was closed. We walked around to 3 other car entrances to see them closed also. We finally found one car entrance that we could walk down the ramp into the lot. This was not identified well and was not expected. To improve, information about lot entrace/exits should be included with the permit or at the time of entering the lot. The park above the lot was filled with homeless people (no biggie, I gave them my post-race food) and gang members (not so much fun).
As this event keeps getting bigger, 2 big problems emerged (as was clear at yesterday's race). There were not enough portapotties for that many people, so quite a few could not get into their waves on time. There was no way to move up to your wave as there were no paths for people to get by. And above all, the line to get over the bridge back to the Convention Center was ridiculous! I finished the race at 9:18 and got in line right away. I got back to my car (which was parked at the Convention Center) at 9:56, so I spent over 30 minutes just waiting to cross the bridge. With so many people, they needed multiple pathways to cross.
The event itself was great-perfect weather, wonderful volunteers, great course. It's my 3rd year running this, and this was by far the busiest and least organized.
This was my 3rd year walking the Long Beach Full Marathon. I really enjoy having the early start even though I can finish within the time frame, it just makes it a little more relaxing. This year there was concern over the walkers getting in the way of the runners and although I can understand the concern, some consideration needs to be placed on the locations that the runners are complaining about. Most of us tend to be courteous and stay to the right, but when you get onto the Beach path, it becomes to narrow and you are not just dealing with Marathon participants but this year there were several people in general walking or bike riding the path. Although it is nice to walk/run along the actual beach maybe the route needs to be reconsider in this area.
race itself was nice. getting to other side on bridge was terrible. it took over 2 hours to get my bag at the bag check when everyone got fed up and stormed the tent. all the volunteers who checked-in the bags in did a horrible job. (can't really blame the volunteers trying to find the bags, when everyone uses those red bags) they had at least an 1.5 hours to organize the bags. jet blue should be upset being associated with such a poorly run bag check. poor supervision overall.
It was my first marathon (age 44), I will be in the M-45-49 age group next year when I do it again. It was a perfect race (almost) for me, nice weather, great support from all the volunteers. I did miss my time by 5 minutes, but I am still very happy with my results. Thanks for the organizers and the volunteers and kudos to all the marathon runners.
Likes - Donut Holes by the Lakers tent and running through the Cal State Long Beach university with the students cheering us on through the marathon, energetic announcer, instructions for walkers to not group in packs of four and to stay to the right.
Opportunity for Improvements - Walkers and half-marathoners should start at 6:30AM. Marathoners should start at 7:00am. The congestion of all the half-marathoners is not good as there were so many marathoners that had to push their way (RUDELY) through crowds of people to get to their appropriate waves. Waves should be blocked off with rope with only specific entry on the side. Powerade, Cytomax, or Gatorade should have been available at each water station. It was not even at the ones listed and advertised in the guide. Mile 8 and 10 volunteers did not have it ready and were surprised that we were looking for it. Unacceptable! One line for pictures was incredibly terrible. It took too long to get out of the finish line area. After running 26.2 miles, you should not have to do more walking unnecessarily and then climb up steps to go out of the only exit.
This is my third event at Long Beach and it's a very good event. The expo is the best compared to the others that I have attended. The course is scenic and the post race festivities are great. However, the organizers need to solve the problem at the start line. There were only 6 waves and very few people were in their appropriate wave. They should set up about 20 corrals and have them start every 3-5 minutes. It took me about 2-3 miles to get some running room.

As a local architect who also does work in surrounding communities, I have been very impressed with how much of a leader Holy Cross Energy is as compared to other electric utilities in terms of saving energy, reducing green house gasses and promoting renewable energy, while still providing reliable cost effective electricity.
Please take a moment to vote in this important election, where there are three open board seats to ensure that the future board of directors continues the excellent work that Holy Cross Energy has achieved.
If you care about saving energy, reducing green house gasses and promoting renewable energy like myself, I suggest that you place your vote for Kristen Bertuglia as well as Adam Palmer for the two Northern District seats (Gypsum to Vail).
Adam is an incumbent and has served on the Holy Cross board for the past three years in which he's helped increase renewable energy supply to meet and exceed a voluntary goal of 15 percent by 2015, and develop and launch Holy Cross' energy efficiency plan. In the future, he plans to expand our renewable energy portfolio which includes solar, wind, hydro, and soon coal mine methane and biomass from Gypsum utilizing wood waste and beetle kill pine.
Kristen will use her experience as sustainability coordinator for the town of Vail and manager of the town's recent $3.2 million energy efficiency overhaul to continue to establish Holy Cross as a leader in energy efficiency, clean power and innovative programs. She is experienced in commercial and residential energy efficiency and biomass, and will ensure long-term price stability and smart investment in renewable energy.

Perhaps it was his over-entitled LA Lakers fandom that caused Alex von Furstenberg, heir to Barry Diller's fortune, to think that (attempted) public shaming was the best reaction to a basketball star pursuing his fiancee. That, or stupidity. Same thing.
Alex VF is Diane von Furstenberg's son, and now the presumptive heir of her new husband, IAC megamogul Barry Diller. He owns a surf shop in Malibu! Now what happened was that former Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, who by the way can totally blow me for beating the Knicks all those times, had some sort of little text message-based fling with Alex's fiancee, Ali Kay. The New York Post says their attraction was mutual, according to a lawyer, at least:
But fiancée Ali Kay sent two provocative photos of herself to the NBA announcer during a three-month phone flirtation, the former hoop star's lawyer Marty Singer insisted.
"There was one of her in bed and one with a bathing suit on," he said.
Pics or it didn't happen, Marty Singer. So! The average man, confronted with this situation, might 1) Break up with this girl; or 2) Keep this whole thing quiet, reasoning that the fact that one's fiancee is hot and heavy for a pro athlete is not something that reflects well on you, her ostensible man; but probably would not 3) File a restraining order against Reggie Miller, and then also hire a plane to fly over beaches in Southern California towing a banner that says "Reggie Miller Stop Pursuing Married Women."
But that is the course that Alex von Furstenberg chose to pursue! Strange also since his fiancee is not a "Married" woman! (However, as the Post points out, Alex was very "married to Duty Free heiress Alexandra Miller" — no relation to Reggie — when he first started dating young Ali.) But I guess that's just how Lakers fans do it! Barry Diller, your empire is in good hands.

CHAR-KOOSTA Newspaper of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation VOLUME 13 NUMBER 13 THE HUNTING MONTH OCTOBER 30, 1984 S & K Electronics lands protested $740,000 contract After two years of not having too much to do, S & K Electronics now finds itself with more than three million dollars' worth of tank heaters to produce, and the promise of more. Word was received Oct 17, and confirmed by telegram Oct 19, that The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs._ ¦ ¦ the fledgling electronics company had finally won a disputed $740,000 Department of Defense contract to build 13,000 tank heaters that the company custom designed Earlier this year, the firm had learned that it was the low bidder on the three quarter-of-a-million dollar job, but a competitor, IDL of California, protested S & K ETs ability to handle the order. After study over the last several months, the Government Accounting Office freed the contract by dismissing IDL's appeal, according to S & K E's board of directors chairman Ron Trosper. Added to a $2.3 million contract to build51,000 tank heaters, a$25,000 job for printed ciruit boards, and an $88,000 order for frame assemblies, the $740,000 job means the newest Tribal enterprise has over$3 million in sales to boast about General manager Mike Tarter said he expects to be hiring assemblers early in 1985, and some support personnel immediately. He points out that S & K doesn't depend on minority business status to bid, but goes into each solicitation with good, solid low estimates, bidding as an equal with its competitors The plant located two miles north of Tribal headquarters in Pablo, will be expanding its floor space to accomodate the initially unanticipated large influx of business. The enterprise thus will benefit the Reservation economy through construction jobs, in addition to the 20-plus people to be hired in the next few months and the half-dozen now on staff. 10 CD • « 10 o Savik apparently okay A month-long search for Tribal social worker AnnaBeth Felsman Savik ended with the receipt in Pablo of a Washington state unemployment insurance claim signed by her. If s evident that her disappearance was an unorthodox good-bye to the Reservation "It looks like everything is above board," Ron McCrea, Tribal Police chief, said, calling off the search Savik was last seen Sept 19. Her pickup was found five days later abandoned near Perma St Ignatius man missing As we go to press Oct 25, a second Tribal member has been reported missing Mike LaFrombois, 36, of St Ignatius, was reported missing Oct 11 after he left a Poison home Oct 6 on foot according to his wife LaFrombois is described as 5'8" tall, about 150 pounds, with black hair and dark brown eyes.

Pituitary apoplexy is the death of an area of tissue in the pituitary gland.
Pituitary infarction
The pituitary is a small gland at the base of the brain. The pituitary produces many of the hormones that control essential body processes.
Pituitary apoplexy is commonly caused by bleeding inside a noncancerous tumor of the pituitary. When pituitary bleeding occurs in a woman during or right after childbirth, it is called Sheehan syndrome.
Risk factors for pituitary apoplexy include:
In most cases, the cause is not clear.
Pituitary apoplexy usually has a short period of symptoms (acute), which can be life-threatening. Symptoms usually include:
Less commonly, pituitary dysfunction may appear more slowly. In Sheehan syndrome, for example, the first symptom may be a failure to produce milk caused by a lack of the hormone prolactin.
Over time, problems with other pituitary hormones may develop, causing symptoms of the following conditions:
In rare cases, when the posterior (back part) of the pituitary is involved, symptoms may include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Blood tests will be done to check levels of:
Acute apoplexy may require surgery to relieve pressure on the pituitary and improve vision symptoms. Severe cases need emergency surgery. If vision is not affected, surgery is usually not necessary.
Immediate treatment with adrenal replacement hormones (glucocorticoids) is needed. Other hormones will be replaced, including:
Acute pituitary apoplexy can be life-threatening. The outlook is good for people who have chronic pituitary deficiency that is diagnosed and treated.
Complications of untreated pituitary apoplexy can include:
If other missing hormones are not replaced, symptoms of hypothyroidism and hypogonadism may develop.
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of chronic pituitary insufficiency.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of acute pituitary apoplexy, including:
If you develop these symptoms and you have already been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, seek medical help right away.

Dear Sir,
I did a small drawing with a few dimensions on QCad-pro 22.214.171.124 for linux. Everything went fine.
Then I saved my drawing and quit QCad.
When I open the drawing again, all dimension value (the text over the arrow) had disappeared!!!
I thought my file got a problem, so I launched QCad on windows_XP and actually all the text on dimensions were here. Then the file is alright.
Would you please tell me what is going wrong on my linux QCad and point out any workaround?
Thank you for answering.
Best regards.

Four Things You Should Know About Your Water (And What's In It)
Four Things You Should Know About Your Water (And What's In It)
02.15.13 | By
Aside from the acai-blueberry-broccoli-pomegranate-pineapple-kiwi-strawberry flavoring you put in your glass of water every day, are you curious about what else is in it? Lots of folks are, and there's been quite a bit of online "discussion" about a new study on the effects of pharmaceutical products in the water supply. Problem is, when you really look at the evidence behind why pharmaceuticals end up in drinking water, you'll find that much of this attention is misguided and erroneous.
1. Your Pee and Poop Are The Biggest Sources of Pharmaceuticals Found in Wastewater Discharge (No, Really!)
Though a little awkward to discuss, this fact bears mention. Concerns about environmental impact from the discharge of pharmaceuticals in the environment often neglect to mention that the traces of pharmaceuticals found in the environment aren't due to manufacturing, but because everybody uses the bathroom. That's right: the way our body metabolizes medicine, and anything else that we ingest, is to effectively dump some of it out (no pun intended). It's a natural part of how our bodies use the medicine, and it's the primary source of how pharmaceuticals end up in our water supply.
Keep in mind we're not talking about a large quantity, here: quite the opposite. Of that very small and nearly undetectable amount of pharmaceutical residue found in water (about one sugar cube in about 2.5 million gallons of water, or four Olympic swimming pools' worth), there's been no published investigation that has found that exposure to these residues pose a risk to human health. By comparison, worldwide nearly 1.5 million children die EACH YEAR due to diarrhea, most of that related to fecal matter in their largely untreated water supply. Our current wastewater structure not only keeps us safe, it saves lives.
The fact remains, you're probably peeing out a tiny bit of medicine when your body uses it, and that's okay. Of all the pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, solvents, chemicals and other byproducts found in water (the list is long, check it out), pharmaceutical products are very low on the list, already tightly regulated and those trace amounts found have been found not to affect people's health.
2. US Wastewater Treatment Facilities Are Good At Their Job
Wastewater treatment facilities have a rather daunting job that I don't envy - they run a round-the-clock operation responsible for removing just a few milligrams per liter of each of several pollutants from the water supply. Consider that the average American produces 100 gallons of wastewater each day (according to the EPA) -that's nearly 1600 glasses of water or almost two full bathtubs. Roughly 99.94% of that wastewater is water by weight; only a small 0.06% is actually waste material, which includes human waste, of course, but also many other water pollutants like food particles, paper products, dirt, oil and grease, proteins, organic materials such as sugars and naturally occurring hormones, inorganic materials such as salts, personal care products, cleaning chemicals, and hundreds of other chemicals.
In spite of that massive task and little margin for error, the EPA and American Water Works Association are both pretty clear that current wastewater treatment practices are working - even the World Health Organization agrees. The WHO looked at various countries' methods of wastewater treatment, and noted that there are bigger fish to fry than traces of pharmaceuticals in drinking water. From their study:
Trace quantities of pharmaceuticals in drinking-water are very unlikely to pose risks to human health because of the substantial margin of exposure or margin of safety between the concentrations detected and the concentrations likely to evoke a pharmacological effect. Concerns over pharmaceuticals should not divert the attention and valuable resources of water suppliers and regulators from the various bacterial, viral and protozoan waterborne pathogens and other chemical priorities, such as lead and arsenic.
3. Our Medicines Are Tested On The Environment Prior To Approval
Our medicines are among the safest in the world, and a big part of that is thanks to pharmaceutical manufacturers' meticulous compliance with good manufacturing practices (GMP) regulations. Part of the incredibly expensive investment involved in developing and manufacturing a new medicine is related to compliance with the extensive Federal, State and Local regulations. And environmental impact assessments are part of how manufacturers safely bring a drug to market. Here's just a partial list of environmental tests and regulations manufacturers work with:
- FDA regulations under National Environmental Policy Act
- Environmental assessments part of a New Drug Application to the FDA
- Federal Clean Water Act requirements and pharmaceutical effluent guidelines
- State guidelines on waste management
- Local water board regulations
- Municipal regulations that control pre-treatment and testing practices on wastewater streams
In addition to these regulations, our companies are constantly looking for new ways to get better at sustainability - ten years ago, they even voluntarily created an analysis model (called 'PhATE') for estimating concentrations of pharmaceutical ingredients in the surface water. All of this regulation is just part of the process of manufacturing and approving a new medicine, and our members' strict compliance with them evinces their commitment to patient safety and sustainability practices.
4. We Work Hard at Protecting The Environment - And It Shows
In addition to the comprehensive environmental impact assessments performed prior to manufacturing a new medicine, our companies do plenty more to help the environment, and it shows.
As part of their overall environmental strategy, several members have opted to include renewable sources in their energy portfolio, operate alternative vehicles to reduce fleet emissions, create extensive environmental sustainability goals and incorporate green building design into renovation or new construction.
Many of our companies are heavily invested in integrating 'green chemistry' principles into development and manufacturing their medicines to reduce or eliminate environmental impact. One PhRMA member was able to reduce the use of chloroform, a regulated hazardous substance, by 98% across its R&D operations in just one year and eliminated 15,000 metric tons of CO2 per year by manufacturing a single medicine using alternative enzymatic chemistry - wow. Even the EPA is proud of our members' work - check out their list of Presidential Green Chemistry Awards (yes, we're bragging!).
Our companies work hard at making safe, effective products that save lives, and they're good environmental stewards while doing it. Biopharmaceutical employees live and work in the cities where many of our manufacturing plants are located, and we have always taken great pride in our careful adherence to environmental regulations about manufacturing waste. But hyperbole and hysterics confuse the issue about whether your water is safe (it is), and whether your local streams have unsafe levels of pharmaceutical manufacturing effluents (they do not). Extensive science backs up both assertions. The fact is, your water - and your medicine - are carefully regulated to ensure they're as safe as possible. So why not just stick to the facts?

September 22, 2005
Columbia County fights for its new identity. The Board of Commissioners met with elected officials Thursday to get their ideas on consolidation and incorporation. News 12 is on your side with a look at why commissioners say becoming a city can generate more money.
They met for lunch to talk about what consolidation and incorporation means for them. Commissioner Chairman Ron Cross says he wants to assure all the elected officials, like the tax commissioner, district attorney and sheriff, to name a few, that their jobs are safe.
"Today we're going to explain that our attempt to incorporate and consolidate will have no effect on them because they are elected officials," Cross said.
Sheriff Clay Whittle is on board with the plan. He says Columbia County is growing facts and should be a city.
"Some point down the road, ten, twenty, thirty years from now, Columbia County may be the center of the population for the CSRA," Whittle said.
After they had lunch, they sat down to watch a PowerPoint presentation on a mini laptop. Management Services Director Todd Glover assured them the government would be run the same way it is now. The main difference is it would give them more recognition and more funding.
Commissioner Diane Ford says they need to get the facts out in the open.
"We always need to talk to our constitutional officials and elected officials and have an open dialog with them," Ford said.
The biggest issue right now is getting the message out to people who live in the area. Sheriff Whittle says support is important because Columbia County will get more funding as a city.
"The bulk of your funding is going to go where the largest identifiable city is in the region," Whittle said.
Columbia is growing fast, but it can't get the funding unless it becomes a city. Right now, a few strongly support the plan, but many others still have a lot of questions. A big concern at the meeting is the new name. They want to preserve their identity as Columbia County, and they are trying to find a name that will help them to do that. If you have any ideas for a new name for a consolidated Columbia county, email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Aphrodite rolls in parade-perfect weather
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 1:16 a.m.
The Krewe of Aphrodite rolled through west Houma Friday night under clear skies, and three visiting Canadians say they could not have been happier.
Parade schedule
Today: Apollo, noon, Lockport; Atlantis, noon, Golden Meadow; Babylon, 5 p.m., Larose and Cut Off; Bon Temps, 5:50 p.m., Larose; Krewe of Mardi Gras, 6:30 p.m., east Houma.
Sunday: Terreanians, 12:30 p.m., west Houma; Cleophas, 12:30 p.m., Thibodaux; followed by Chronos; Montegut Children's Parade, 2 p.m., Montegut; Nereids, 6 p.m., Golden Meadow.
Monday: Cleopatra, 6:30 p.m., west Houma.
Mardi Gras: Houmas, 11 a.m., west Houma, followed by Kajuns; Gheens, 11 a.m., in Gheens; Neptune, noon, Galliano and Golden Meadow; Ghana, 1 p.m., Thibodaux; Choupic, 1 p.m., Chackbay and Choupic; Bonne Terre, 4 p.m., Montegut.
"We literally arrived here from off the road. We all showered and came straight here. That's true commitment. That's the Canadian in us," said Tom Moning, 22.
Moning, joined by friends Shawn Stringer, and Kevin Almeida, both 22, drove 20 hours straight on their trip to south Louisiana and their first Mardi Gras. They left seven hours earlier than planned because of an approaching snow storm, the men said.
"Our hometown, everything is closed right now because it got hit with like 20 centimeters (about 8 inches) of snow," Stringer said.
Compare that to the 60-degree temperatures that they enjoyed in Houma as the 450-strong women's krewe and its 17 floats showered them with trinkets.
"Twenty-six hours ago I was snowboarding in Blue Mountain, and now I am here with a T-shirt on. It feels great," Almeida said. "It's our first time in the South, and so far so good."
Dillon Vought, 26, of Alaska, another parade newbie, said he was in town on a business trip.
"We are just enjoying ourselves right now. I am looking to catch some beads," he said.
This trip also marked Vought's first taste of king cake. He was the "lucky" one who got the baby.
"Yeah, I had to buy the next one," he laughed.
Michelle Deroche, 37, of Thibodaux, caught the parade with her husband, Robert, and godchildren near Southland Mall, something she says she's done for the past decade.
"I like attending this parade because it is one of the more family-friendly ones. It's all women so they are more understanding to throw to the children," she said.
Woodie Sanford, 54, of Mississippi, has been coming to the parade with his family for 15 years.
"I am hoping to catch one pretty set of beads to give to my wife," Sanford said.
Kristie Hebert, 17, of Napoleonville, said Aphrodite is her favorite parade, and cups are her favorite throw.
"I like standing at the beginning of the parade just because when they come out, they are more excited than toward the middle or the end," she said of her spot near the mall and the beginning of the miles-long route that ends in downtown.
The Krewe of Athena also rolled Friday in Golden Meadow.
