Athletes plan for success. After all, why wouldn't we? Success is what we're striving for. It's what pushes us to get out there every day, to train just a little bit harder. Success is what we plan to achieve when the big race comes. But, unfortunately, that isn't always the case. And while we never really plan for "failure," it is important that we are at least prepared to handle it.
It's important to know how to handle failure because — if aiming high enough — every athlete will fall short of his or her goals at some point. Sometimes it's due to less-than-ideal preparation. Other times, our bodies just don't perform on the right day. And other times, our failures result from things we can't control.
That was the case for me this past Sunday, when I failed to meet my goals at the Boulder Peak Triathlon in Boulder, Colo. My preparation for the race was spot-on. I'd put in hard work for months leading in, and then allowed myself to taper so my body felt rested and totally ready. I was psyched to have the great race I'd been planning for.
Come race day, I got off to a great start with my best swim so far this season, and was feeling fast and efficient on the bike. I was envisioning a stellar performance that would exceed even my own expectations. But at mile 4, those thoughts were quickly overturned when I got a flat rear tire.
Looking down at the airless tube under my rim felt like seeing my dreams deflate. I thought, "This can't be happening. Not here. Not now." But sure enough, it was … at one my biggest races of the year. So I did the only thing I could in that moment, and pulled over to try to remedy the situation. I remained shockingly calm as I worked to change the tube out (which is not something I am skilled at doing quickly), watching as rider after rider flew by me, my heart sinking a bit more each time.
I stayed focused on my task, and doing what I needed to finish the race. Unfortunately, there were some complications with the change, and I was only able to get the new tube partially full of air (got it filled to 40 PSI, instead of the usual 110). I briefly thought about whether it made more sense to turn around, but I was determined to finish if there was even the slightest possibility. After all, I'd come all this way to race.
So, I rode the remaining 20-plus miles with my rear tire less than half-full, praying it would not go flat again. I rode as hard as I could, determined to make up at least some of the time lost in the eight minutes I spent on the side of the road. Luckily, I made it through the bike (way off my expected pace) and onto the run, where I turned in one of my strongest performances yet, fueled by a mix of frustration and determination to at least realize what I could have done.
The day was bitterly disappointing to say the least. But somehow I found myself totally OK with it all. In a strange way, I was even glad I'd had the experience I did. I guess with all the ups and downs I've faced over the years as an athlete, I now understand that the disappointments, failures and even the circumstances beyond our control are all just another part of
racing that we have to accept and even value.
Yes, it's frustrating to know you fell short of your potential, to feel like you were held back from what could have been. But in the end all we can really do is do the best we can in the situation, with what we can control, and most importantly, take what we can from our experiences and move on.
Disappointment is never easy, but it's a vital and valuable part of evolving as an athlete. Ultimately, the only true failure is not recognizing that value, and not learning from our setbacks. So face your disappointments head on. Find the source, determine what you did well in spite of your situation, and what you can do differently next time. Find the value in your experiences — both good and bad — and take it all with you as you move forward: the lessons, the frustrations, the disappointment and the excitement of what lies ahead when you do have the perfect day.
The setbacks will only make the reward that much sweeter when it's attained. At least that's what I keep telling myself, as I push on.

and i've now done play-by-play for 5 separate editions of western states all within this thread. thats kinda scary.
Is anyone seriously going to do WS in 2015. I will. My plan is to stop running short distances in college by not doing track/xc there. Im going to switch over to an Ironman in fall of freshman year (2009). Then go to marathoning to run Boston in spring of freshman year (2010). Then build up to the JFK 50 miler in November 2010. I'll stay at the 50M and 100K distance in 2010 and 2011. Then in the spring of my junior year I'll go for an "easy" 100M. Train for a year and come back for WS in 2013. I think that's my race for life. My goal will be to get a buckle for the 2015 race.
Want to hear the rest of my future life??? !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

I always get the "reply w/ quote" and the "edit/delete message" buttons confused and now its not letting me delete my message.
I think he meant to edit but hit the quote button instead.

lol youll kill yourself kirby O:-)
bye bye
believe it or not folks, i'm actually running again, not just jawing off on online forums and playing poker. This is about my half dozenth (thats a word right?) comeback attempt, so we'll see how long it really lasts. My main immediate motivation, of course, being to make a run at my highly beatable marathon PR (3:28)....and hopefully drop another few toenails in the process. Given the vast amount of time i spent being a couch potato and working on my keg, and the magnitude of fitness I lost as a result, this will take at least a year's worth of consistent training to work.....but it's doable. I would estimate my 100% max potential, max effort, max favorable circumstances performance to be somewhere in the low 2:50s, but that would be a few years away IF i can somehow keep myself consistently fit for that long. As far as time goals go, the one I really want to hit is <3:11 for the BQ. Right now I'm still at the point where i'm thrilled about being able to complete 30 minutes.......compared to my ultimate peak when anything under 60 felt short. It's all about the baby steps. At least I'm only 22, so I have a lot of peak time to ride things out......and 8 years to have enough endurance to crawl my way through 100.2 miles in <30:00:00.
I trust everyone else is tapering already?
Lol, yep. I've been training flat out for 19 years, so I think now's about the time to start my taper:P
But seriously, I'm going to race half marathons until I can go sub 1:10 (which will probably never happen:P and even if it does, it won't be for about 8 years:P), and until then I'm staying away from full marathons and beyond.
The Kenyan is back at it! Woooo!
That's it if you can do it so will I. I'm going for a run today.
good, the thread's been kept alive and the race is still being talked about. I'm so proud of you (in that grandfatherly way, even though I'm only a recent college grad).
I am down for that but 13 years is a long time how about 7 years.
8 more years???
and is it true that after you train for an ultra like this then your 10k and under racing life is over?? Can you ever get your speed back after training for something like this??
Of course. <10k races rely heavily on your VO2 max. You'll neglect this aspect of training when training for ultras in preference for pure endurance and a high lactate threshold, however, it's very easy to get back. You can max out your VO2 max (get it to the highest level your genetics will allow) in a matter of months and then your speed will return.

The biotechnology era has experienced significant changes in the number of companies involved in vaccine manufacturing as well as in the production systems they use. Nevertheless, challenges in this area are multiple. In the current vaccine-manufacturing environment, time to market and cost effectiveness are key issues that need to be addressed in addition to smooth R&D and clinical studies. Furthermore, scale up and safety are important for maintaining a successful manufacturing process.
As a result, state-of-the-art technologies to simplify vaccine development and manufacturing are becoming ever-more crucial. In this article, the authors discuss these challenges and evaluate the technologies and process parameters that need to be considered when developing a safe, effective, and economically efficient vaccine. The article primarily deals with prophylactic vaccines.
BACKGROUNDVaccines are a group of biologics considered to be the lifeline of the human race. It has been said about vaccines that, "With the exception of safe water, no other modality, not even antibiotics, has had such a major effect on mortality reduction..." (1).
A good vaccine is one that elicits an appropriate immune response for the particular pathogen, which could either be a cell-mediated response to tuberculosis or an antibody response to a bacterial or viral infections. It should be safe to use in a variety of patients and the vaccine itself should not cause disease or induce adverse effects. A vaccine should offer long-term protection (ideally lifelong) with one dose and retain its immunogenicity despite adverse storage conditions before administration. Furthermore, it must be inexpensive to make and buy (2).
The development and manufacturing of vaccines must follow four ground rules (3):
The largest market for vaccines is found in the developing world, where doses need to be less expensive than those sold in the developed world in order to have any chance of getting to the patients who need them (4). Companies, therefore, need to weigh the risks of killed or weakened whole organisms against the costs of recombinant vaccine production for products meant to help a large percentage of the economically weak population.
Process development for vaccines can pose unique obstacles for manufacturers. Because most vaccines are new products, there is no history or experience to rely on with regard to how subjects will respond to the drug. Furthermore, promising preclinical results in animal models are generally not duplicated when the therapy is tested in humans. Often, it is challenging to develop robust manufacturing processes and to validate quality control assays for these products because there is a need for a specific biological assay for each product (5).
One important difference between the production of vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals is the risk-safety consideration related to working with pathogens and pathogenic antigens. As with all biomolecules purified from crude biological material, the removal of contaminants (e.g., derivatives from host cell such as DNA, protein, or leachables), must be documented. However, the removal or inactivation of adventitious viruses remains a unique challenge (3).

Wearing a red trucker hat that reads "who's bad," Aurora De Lucia is in no hurry to hit the half marathon finish line. In fact, she sometimes backtracks if a group behind her sounds fun.
Time is irrelevant. She just needs to finish.
De Lucia is running 52 half marathons in 52 weeks for marriage equality and the Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend will fulfill numbers 31, 32 and 33 on the list. Starting Friday, De Lucia is running one half marathon per day.
DeLuca won't break any records. She likely won't finish in the top half, but one mile at a time she is winning back a sense of control that she lost three years ago when she was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect that led to open heart surgery. -
The recovery process was frustrating; frustrating to go from being able to run 13 miles to getting winded while walking. Frustrating to go from healthy one minute to a being hospital regular the next.
The life De Lucia knew had vanished so she set out to get it back.
"Running is one of those things in life that you pretty much can have full control over," De Lucia said.
As De Lucia ran to regain her former life she started blogging about it. "My heart was stopped; I cannot be," it reads at the top of auroraisblogging.com. When people started reading she decided to try and do some good for a cause she cared about.
"Hopefully, I raise a kadrillion dollars, that's not a real word," De Lucia joked. "But no matter what I raise, at least I'll know at the end that I did some good, and some is better than none."
Right now her funds are hovering closer to $750, but that could be because she didn't exactly choose a universally accepted charity. Marriage equality is a surprising choice considering De Lucia could have gone with a more accepted cause like congenital heart defects, but when it comes to good causes De Lucia doesn't care about popular.
"It's hard because I have sort of a hot-button issue that I'm raising money for," De Lucia said. "But I could not think of anything that meant more to me than equality for other human beings in our world. I feel like marriage equality is the beginning of that equality."
De Lucia is running this weekend, and most every weekend, to regain her own independence and take a stand for what she said should be a basic civil right. It's not an easy road. She's taken a beating, and not just physically, like the time she had to use crutches for 13 miles because she sprained her ankle. Her cause tends to be fighting words.
"There definitely are some people who just get so angry. They are so fervent in their belief that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community is not equal and they do not deserve things and it's really hard when you talk to those people," Del Lucia said. "But if I'm going to ask people to be tolerant than I have to try to be as tolerant of other people as much as possible."
De Lucia understands what comes with the territory and she runs, or crutches, on. Equality is the priority and marriage equality is the starting battleground.
"I just didn't think it was fair that I have the ability to have 1,400 rights from the government if I just decide," De Lucia said. "I could just find a guy today and say 'hey, lets go get a marriage license,' and then I have friends in these unbelievably loving relationships who have been together for so long. To think that they can't get the same rights as me just because they're a same-sex couple, it makes no sense to me."

New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
The last Targaryen princess, Daenerys is the daughter of the Mad King, Aerys II, who was born on Dragonstone after his death. Born during a storm, she was known as Daenerys Stormborn afterwards. Spirited away by loyal men with her brother, Viserys, in the years since the fall of House Targaryen they have fallen into a mean life, constantly moving for fear of the Usurper's assassins while Viserys seeks some means to win back the Iron Throne. She is a very young woman, very beautiful in the inhuman way of the Valyrians, with silver-gold hair and purple eyes, and she has never known anything else than her brother's domineering ways and obsession with the Seven Kingdoms.
Daenerys has been aged for the show. In the novels, she is 13 when she is first introduced. In Game of Thrones, she is 15 years old. Contacts to give her violet eyes were tried in the pilot, but proved more trouble than they were worth.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

1. Getting sound to work again: 01:20
Things to remember when setting up sound in Ubuntu Linux on a Sony Vaio U1:
- modprobe trident
- modprobe snd_trident
- Be very very thorough with alsamixer settings. For some brain-dead reason, all the important stuff is muted.
2. Emacs: Changing the font size on the fly: 09:14
I have a tiny laptop: 8.9" diagonally. With a 1024x768 pixels screen resolution, things can get *pretty* small. The following functions use the gnome-terminal-style shortcuts (Ctrl-plus, Ctrl-minus) to change the font size without the mouse:
(defun sacha/increase-font-size () (interactive) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height (ceiling (* 1.10 (face-attribute 'default :height))))) (defun sacha/decrease-font-size () (interactive) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height (floor (* 0.9 (face-attribute 'default :height))))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-+") 'sacha/increase-font-size) (global-set-key (kbd "C--") 'sacha/decrease-font-size)

3. Emacs clinic at the Linux Caffe: 20:35
Quinn Fung needed some help with Muse and RDF so that she could easily generate RSS feeds from Emacs, so we declared today to be Emacs Clinic day at the Linux Caffe.
We started by getting publishing to work. We then figured out how to get RDF to publish, and that was pretty okay too.
Quinn needed multiple authors, and muse-journal didn't support it yet, so we hacked it in. I told her to pick a syntax, and I added code to make it happen. It took us a while to track things down, but it turned out to be a reasonably easy addition. (I need to refactor that code sometime... that's a really long function!)
Along the way, we found a bug in muse-journal. Muse-journal summarizes entries by taking the first two sentences, but dies when the post doesn't contain at least two periods. I spent a fair bit of time tracing through the different changes we made before realizing that it wasn't my bug. I probably would've found it earlier, but debug-on-error wasn't getting honored. Odd. Anyway, here's the patch, which I'll submit to GNA when I get back into the swing of things:
--- orig/lisp/muse-journal.el +++ mod/lisp/muse-journal.el @@ -570,7 +570,9 @@ (let ((beg (point))) (if (muse-style-element :summarize) (progn - (forward-sentence 2) + (condition-case err + (forward-sentence 2) + (error (goto-char (point-min)))) (setq desc (concat (buffer-substring beg (point)) "..."))) (save-restriction (muse-publish-markup-buffer "rss-entry" "html")
Now Quinn's jumping feet-first into Lisp development by doing the Atom implementation. muse-atom does single-entry Atom files, but she can model it on muse-journal's RSS implementation.
I also helped Ian set up a very very basic Planner. It reminded me that I *really* need to package planner-bundle again, and either retire or update plannerlove. In fact, I need to set up scripts so that it's ridiculously easy to keep up to date...
I miss hacking on Emacs! This is fun. I'll reconfigure my kernel and get VPN working. Then I'll set up my Emacs development environment again...

4. Domain name: 22:02
At some point in time, I think I should go for figuring out how to do my mail properly so that I can have [email protected] on my outgoing mail. Jijo currently generously hosts my mail, but I should look into properly paying for it like the rest of the civilized world. <laugh>

The Highlanders knew they were in for a tough football game at perennial power Pershing County last Thursday. And that's just what they got in a 50-6 Mustangs rout.
Pershing County (8-1 overall, 7-0 league) jumped on Incline early, scoring 22 first-quarter points and leading 37-0 at the half.
"Playing a team that has gone through our league undefeated put feat into our players, and they played like it in the first half. It was hard to watch," said Incline head coach Scott Conn, whose Highlanders will travel back to Pershing County (also called Lovelock) for a first-round playoff game this Friday.
The Highlanders rebounded to play a much better second half, Conn said, as they held the Mustangs to 13 points while scoring a touchdown themselves in the fourth quarter.
"That was big for the kids' confidence," Conn said of the score, despite the fact that the Mustangs had second-string players in the game.
Incline, too, had subs in the game. But it was out of necessity, as several Highlanders left in the first half with injuries. Conn said the Mustangs' defensive line averaged more than 210 pounds, compared to Incline's 166 pounds, sopping wet and muddy.
Nevertheless, the Highlanders feel better about their chances entering this week's playoff contest and rematch.
"Now that we've played them once, their guys are no longer a mystery to us," Conn said. "Some are tougher matchups than others - with most of them being tough. But at least you know what's lined up across from you now."
In Thursday night's game (games across all divisions were played Thursday because of Nevada Day on Friday), Pershing County rushed for 290 yards, led by Jacob Flores' 138 yards and three touchdowns and Jared Jensen's 127 yards with one TD. Quarterback Seth Montes completed 6-of-7 passes for 73 yards and a TD.
Incline was held to 82 rushing yards in the game, although fullback Sean Herrera gained 92 yards on 15 carries, with Incline's only touchdown. But quarterback Christian Biscotti, who was 3-of-9 for 27 yards passing, rushed for minus-17 yards against the stout Mustangs defense, which knocked down Incline's rushing total.
Brendon Steinmeyer rushed for 7 yards on five carries, while Michael Wegener had one catch for 16 yards. Steinmeyer led the Highlanders' defense with 22 tackles, including 12 solo. Jack Clouthier had eight tackles and Masxsimo Battel and Wegener each had seven. Steinmeyer also had a 54-yard kickoff return.
Incline, seeded fourth in the postseason, finished the regular season 6-3 overall and 4-3 in Northern Division III play.
Second-seeded Yerington will take on third-seeded Battle Mountain in the other first-round Northern playoff game Friday. In the south, top-seeded Mountain View plays fourth-seeded Needles and second-seeded Lincoln County plays third-seeded Laughlin.
"We hope to go out there and have a different result," Conn said of Incline's playoff matchup. "The kids are motivated, but they know it's going to be an uphill battle."

Cholecystectomy - laparoscopic
Surgery using a laparoscope is the most common way to remove the gallbladder. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your belly.
Gallbladder removal surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia so you will be asleep and pain-free.
The gallbladder is then removed using the laparoscope.
An x-ray called a cholangiogram may be done during your surgery.
Sometimes the surgeon cannot safely take out the gallbladder using a laparoscope. In this case, the surgeon will use open surgery, in which a larger cut is made.
You may need gallbladder removal surgery if you have pain or other symptoms from gallstones. You may also need it if your gallbladder is not working normally.
Common symptoms may include:
Most people have a quicker recover and fewer problems from surgery through a laparoscope than with open surgery.
The risks for any anesthesia include:
The risks for gallbladder surgery include:
You may have the following tests done before your surgery:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Prepare your home for after the surgery.
If you do not have any signs of problems, you will be able to go home when you are able to drink liquids easily. Most people go home on the same day or the day after this surgery.
If there were problems during your surgery, or if you have bleeding, a lot of pain, or a fever, you may need to stay in the hospital longer.
Most patients recover quickly and have good results from this procedure.

Better performance, easier installation! These new additions to the famous Zalman 7000 series give guaranteed cooling satisfaction! They offer slightly improved performance to the CNPS7700 coolers and are smaller, lighter, have blue LED lighting and offer AM2 socket compatibility. Product differences The CNPS7500 is offered in two versions - copper (CU) and aluminium/copper hybrid (ALCU). Both coolers are identical except that the CU version is heavier and offers better cooling thanks to the superior conduction of copper versus aluminium. In practice this equates to a lower CPU running temperature of around 3C for a high-end system. If you crave the lowest possible CPU temperature then we suggest you purchase the CU version, but otherwise the ALCU version still offers excellent performance and is less expensive.
Motherboard cooling As with all Zalman's 7000 series coolers, the unique design of the product allows not only the processor to be cooled, but also its surrounding components as shown on the image below. Important components such as the Northbridge chip, RAM, VGA and FET circuitry receive a good share of the cooler's airflow, which increases their reliability and lifespan. Compatibility considerations Due to the smaller size of the CNPS7500 in comparison to the CNPS7700, there are generally very few compatibility issues in terms of clearances with motherboard components. However, please do check the Zalman website before purchase. PLEASE NOTE: Socket 775-based motherboards will need to be removed from the chassis to be able to install the CNPS7500. The CNPS7500 is incompatible with Athlon XP (socket A, 462) and Pentium 3 (Socket 370). Installation considerations The copper version of the CNPS7500 exceeds Intel's suggested maximum heatsink weight, and so care must be taken when transporting a PC with this cooler installed. Neither we nor the manufacturer can be held responsible for any damage to a system or a CPU occurring when a PC is moved with an overweight heatsink in situ. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES must a PC be transported by courier with this heatsink in place. The heatsink must be removed from the CPU before transporting the PC in order to prevent damage. PLEASE NOTE: Some motherboards have difficulty measuring low fan RPM speeds on coolers such as this one. The problem can sometimes be fixed by updating the motherboard BIOS to the latest version available on the motherboard manufacturer's website. However, with some motherboards, the problem remains. Regardless, this will not affect performance. In addition, some motherboards will not boot if the CPU fan speed cannot be measured, as a safety feature. After rotating the Fan Mate speed control fully clockwise to enable booting, this feature needs to be disabled in the BIOS setup (set "CPU Fan Detect" or similar to "Disabled").

Awesome fan
Reviewed by Rob. Review Posted 09/11/2010
This is a great fan for the price! It also comes with a FanMate controller so you can manually set the speed of the fan - this is really useful if you want to keep your PC running quiet.
When the fan arrived it was much larger than I expected - and for a while I thought it would not fit on the motherboard. I ended up fitting backwards but it didn't make any difference.
It lights up blue when its on - I'm not a big fan of this but its a small gripe.
Under load playing Civ5 with a low fan speed I can keep my Core2 Quad at 47C.

Bailey Magsig has been an athlete all his life, so when he hurt his neck in a football game two Fridays ago, it didn't phase him.
"Last season I hurt my neck too, and it was just pinched nerves," Magsig said. "I thought it was the same thing so I didn't think anything of it."
But this wasn't the same. Magsig skipped two days of practice. And his coaches told him "just take it easy, I don't want you to get hurt. We need you for the [Okemos vs. Jackson] game Friday," he remembered.
MSU Sports Doctor Michael Shingles says athletes often try to self diagnose and play through their injuries. But that can be dangerous, especially with any injury to the neck, he said.
"If theres an injury that's missed and you reinjure it, it incrases your chances of having a much more serious problem," Shingles said.
After that second game--Okemos vs. Jackson--Magsig and his mom Sally figured it was time to get his neck checked out. It turned out he broke his fifth cervical vertebrae, which is located in the neck.
"It's tough as a parent to know when you need to take that next step," said Sally Magsig.
Of course, hindsight is 20/20.
"If somebody I knew got injured like he did I'd say take him. Take him now," she said.
The Magsigs are grateful they went to the doctor when they did, realizing it could have been much worse.
"The bone was less than a quarter-inch away from my spine," Bailey Magsig said. "If it would have touched my spine I'd be Quadriplegic right now."
Magsig will have to wear the brace for another three months -- and then undergo months of physical therapy. But his mom is just thankful he's alive.
He hopes to at least get back on the field for baseball season.
"Bailey has been a great captain for us, been a great player for two years," said Paul Palmer, the head football coach at Okemos High. "He's a tough man and we're gonna miss him."

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Both golfers who'll be in the final pairing of a suddenly scintillating Masters have been through all of this Augusta National-on-Sunday excitement before.
Bubba Watson did it in 2012, when he won the green jacket in a playoff. And Jordan Spieth did it often in his imagination while practicing putts as a kid -- which wasn't all that long ago.
That is only half of the story, because Watson failed to extend his second-round lead and fell back to 5 under par, bringing a big crowd into contention.
Thirteen players -- including four major champions -- are somewhere between 5 under and 1 under, poised to test the adage that the Masters begins on the back nine on Sunday.
"I'm 20 and this is the Masters, this is the tournament I've always dreamed about," said Spieth, who shot a poised 2-under 70 on Saturday to get to 211 and will start Sunday tied with Watson. "As far as being patient, shot-to-shot, I think I've done the best that I ever have with my mental game."
With a win Sunday, Spieth would become the youngest champion in Masters history. He knows enough about that history to realize how hard it will be. He prepared for it by hitting pitch shots in his yard and pretending to win the Masters when he was learning the game at Brookhaven Country Club in Texas. Spieth was savvy enough to seek advice from fellow Texan Ben Crenshaw, a two-time winner here, and Crenshaw's caddie Carl Jackson, who has carried in 53 Masters.
"I was going to buy a T-shirt for (my caddie) that says, 'Carl Says,' because he keeps saying that to me out there," Spieth said.
Watson can rely on his own experiences -- the ones from two years ago, more than the ones from Saturday. He did eagle the second hole to go 8 under and birdied No. 10, to get back to 6 under. But his putting stroke was not as confident as it had appeared during the first two rounds. He shot 2-over 74, with pars on the par-5 13th and 15th feeling like bogeys for a big hitter like him.
"You have to keep looking at where you're at. You're still winning so you can't get down," he said. "If you're going to get down when you're still winning, then you've got issues. And I do have issues, but ..."
He smiled when he said that. He also insisted he won't be uneasy waiting to tee off at 2:40 (local time) -- after the likes of Matt Kuchar and 2012 Frys.com Open champion Jonas Blixt (4 under) and Rickie Fowler and Miguel Angel Jimenez (3 under).
"You always have that dream as a kid," Watson said. "So when you get here, you hear the same roars and you want to be part of those roars. On Sunday, that's a big deal because that's the day they give out the green jacket ... I've won one, so I've got that going for me. If I play bad tomorrow, I still have a green jacket."

Full leader board, PAGE 8
Co-leader Jordan Spieth, 20, is in position to become the youngest Masters champion. Here's a look at the three youngest winners:
Tiger Woods, 1997, 21 years old
Woods won his first major tournament in dominating fashion, winning by 12 strokes and becoming the event's first black champion.
Seve Ballesteros, 1980, 23
The Spaniard became the first European to win the major (he won by four strokes), and then added a second title at Augusta in 1983.
Jack Nicklaus, 1963, 23
Nicklaus held off Oakland native Tony Lema by one stroke for the second of his record 18 major titles. His first major title was the 1962 U.S. Open.

SAN FRANCISCO -- After a 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday night, Giants manager Bruce Bochy was asked about the uncharacteristic struggles of opening day starter Madison Bumgarner.
"We're pretty spoiled here with Madison," Bochy said.
That's what makes the slow start so baffling at times for the Giants. Bumgarner lasted just five innings against a short-handed Padres lineup and took his third loss of the month. The left-hander failed to pitch into the sixth inning just three times in 2013 but already has matched that total through his first six starts.
"I think it's fair to say he made a few more mistakes than we're accustomed to," Bochy said. "He's had trouble getting the ball where he wants to, and he left some pitches over the plate. It's a case, whether it's a hitter or a pitcher, of you're going to be a little off at times. You're going to go through skids."
Coming off a complete game at Coors Field, Bumgarner struggled with his command through five rocky innings. He walked two and loaded the bases in the first but got out of the jam with a strikeout. In the fourth inning, an error and double put two in scoring position for Rene Rivera, who lined a double down the left field line to give San Diego a 2-0 lead.
The Giants struck right back to take the lead. Angel Pagan hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the fourth and scored on Hunter Pence's triple. Three batters later, Michael Morse hit a two-run single up the middle to give Bumgarner a 3-2 lead.
He couldn't hold it. Rivera followed a single and walk with a three-run blast to left-center field. It was the first homer in three years for the 30-year-old backup catcher, who became the first Padre to tally five RBIs at AT&T Park.
Bumgarner was charged with four earned runs on seven hits and four walks, a season high.
"Something felt a little off (mechanically). I'll have to go back to see if I can figure it out," he said. "My command wasn't very good, and that always makes it tough to get outs and give the team chances to win, when you can't throw strikes or get it where you want it."
The Giants inched closer in the bottom of the fifth when Brandon Hicks, who won Sunday's game with a walk-off homer, hit a towering solo shot to center. The homer was the fourth of the season for Hicks, a career-high.
Buster Posey hit a one-out double off Padres right-hander Tyson Ross in the sixth and went to third on Morse's single to right. After reliever Alex Torres struck out Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Crawford drew a walk to load the bases. Hicks unloaded on a slider and looked to have a go-ahead grand slam, but the ball died on the warning track in left field.
The Giants wouldn't get another runner into scoring position.
"You really have to watch the player," Bochy said. "See how they handled it. It's not easy and I'm sure he's frustrated and even down at times. But he's going out there and playing great defense, not letting it affect his 'D' or game. He's our first baseman. He's our best first baseman. He's going to be out there."
That tune changed a bit after three more hitless at-bats and another strikeout. Bochy said he would have to consider sitting either Belt (hitting just .255) or struggling Sandoval (.172) on Tuesday.

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer in the 20th century, and for his efforts he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the 20th century.
As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that lead to international fame. Hemingway was an aficionado of bullfighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in his brilliant novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, and he subsequently covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.

"Best presentation of any audiobook ever."
Bruce Greenwood's reading of this classic Hemingway novel is incredible. I have been listening audio-books for nearly twenty years and this is the best audio presentation I've ever heard. Greenwood's acting talent definitely pays off.
As for the book, its Hemingway, of course its good. I highly recommend listening to this one.
"Hemingway was a Genius"
This work is really three books in one, dealing with different phases in the main proponents life. Hemingway takes us effortlessly into this world where manliness is the most important characteristic of any of the participants. The writing is outstanding. There are passages which appear to deal with elements of Hemingways own life. I constantly felt that every word that was needed had been used but that not one of them was spare. Every Hemingway title that I listen to leaves me more in awe of the man's abilities and this is one of the strongest so far. If you have any regard for the english language at any level you owe it to yourself to listen to this.
The narration is excellent. Clear, crisp with enough characterisation to aid with discriminating the parts without veering into caricature.
"Bruce Greenwood's Narration was Amazing!"
I am so amazed how Bruce Greenwood could change his characterizations and accents for each of the so many characters and so seamlessly. I agree with one reader that I have never heard a narrator do such a wonderful reading! The performance is the best part of this book.
The book is good, but quite sad. I liked the first parts best, but found the WWII section rather drawn out. Overall, if you like Hemmingway, you will like this.
"Like listening to an old friend."
I think I first read this story 45 years ago. I loved it then and listening to it now was like listening to an old friend tell the story again. It was as good now as it was when I was in high school. The narrated was excellent!
"If you love Hemmingway, well then."
In some places the story was a little distorted, broken, and slightly obscure, but all and all this is an absolutely endearing listening experience. I say absolutely endearing because no matter where you pick up in the story you can feel the tradgedy and loving intoxication of Hemmingway's writing. You can imagine yourself in the Bahama's during the depresion or in Cuba during WW2. No other author can quite give the expericence that any Hemmingway book delivers so ominously, and all of this despite the discontinuity. I would recommend this to anyone, but if you even remotely like Ernest Hemmingway then check this one out.
"A wonderful book"
I first tried to read this book in high school and couldn't get through it. Now, in my mid-thirties, Hemingway's pace seems right.
It is a very strong story - and as a parent, it is not always an easy ride.
Highly recommended.
"Love the characterizations!"
The narrator manages to "do" the characters better than if I had been reading the book and making up their voices in my head. :-) Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.
"A real good story."
The story told here focused light on the life of one man at three different periods. His life with his loves, his life with his sons, followed by his life as a fighter for his beliefs during WW II. Through out these phases of his life he was not a man who would not back down from trouble or himself nor would he fail a friend. The descriptions of the interactions between himself and his sons were particularly riveting for me with one hell of a fish story as a part of this. This book brought home all the things I remember the old guys from the WW II era talking about when I was growing up and helped put in perspective some of what made that generation that generation. I am now hooked on Hemingway and intend to read and listen to his other stories. In simple English this is a real good story.
"Great book"
I went in thing the book would be good but it was great, especially the second half. I thought the chase was excellently written and as a WWII buff very believable. I felt like I was in the book. Don't miss it.
"Probably not published for a reason"
I read this because, one, I love Hemingway and, two, I was very interested in reading what the Bahamas and Cuba was like in his day. But here's the deal: this book is not good. And I'm not being rude, Hemingway wrote hundreds of short stories that were never published and nobody can be great all the time. Here's what happened: The work was written originally as a short story trilogy, however, the third part was published on its own as "The Old Man of the Sea" - which is outstanding. After Hemingway's death, his wife and editor found another unpublished short story known as "The Chase" and decided it would be a great replacement third chapter to the trilogy since it involved the same character involved in the first two. That became "Islands in the Stream" - three short stories about the same guy in different stages of life. It's a good idea, except for the fact that the stories are not very good on their own.
This audiobook was very long and all through it I felt I was getting real value for my money. I love it when an excellent book is so look and when it provides so many memorable moments and this book gave me both.
There were moments that made me laugh and I laughed again when I thought about them later on and there were moments when I was taken aback by the sheer impact of shock and tragedy. A remarkable book. Don't die without hearing it.

Rescuing the Duck Factory—the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, and Iowa where millions of ducks are raised—involves a host of conservation efforts, from targeted fundraising and working with farmers and ranchers to enacting federal policies that protect prairie waterfowl habitats. DU's Governmental Affairs Office in Washington, D.C., works with Congress, federal agencies, and other top government officials as well as DU volunteers, members, and staff to ensure that the prairie breeding grounds continue to add millions of ducks to the fall migration every year. This year will be no different as DU continues to promote legislation that benefits waterfowl and waterfowlers.
Going into an election year is always a tricky proposition. All of the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate will be elected or reelected in 2010, so the time frame for enacting new legislation or even passing annual appropriations bills to fund current programs is very short. Thankfully, first steps have already been taken on many of DU's policy priorities for improving conservation in the PPR. DU's number one goal is to wrap up initiatives aimed at helping to rescue the Duck Factory this year. These public-policy priorities include:
The Clean Water Restoration Act that would protect wetlands including prairie potholes and playa lakes passed a Senate committee in June 2009. Wetlands like these, which may be geographically isolated on a map, contribute to local water tables and provide drinking water for millions of Americans in addition to being great habitat for waterfowl and wildlife. A companion bill is expected to be introduced in the House by Congressman James Oberstar (MN).
Most people know that the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) is one of the most successful conservation programs in history, conserving more than 25 million acres of habitat in just over 20 years. DU has been working with Congress to enhance NAWCA and make it even more effective for waterfowl by allowing Canadian funds to be used for match. Congressman Rob Wittman (VA), a member of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission (MBCC), has introduced a bill to make this happen. This legislation passed the House of Representatives unanimously last September. The bill was in the Senate as of press time and could be passed and signed into law early in 2010. As always, DU is also working with the MBCC and thousands of DU members who contact their members of Congress to ensure that NAWCA is adequately funded to continue its success. Congress appropriated a record $47 million for the program in 2010, and DU members who contact Congress continue to make the difference and promote investment in this proven conservation program.
Waterfowlers have been promoting conservation since before many environmental groups were formed. One of the main tools has been the federal duck stamp. This program has conserved nearly 6 million acres of habitat in the National Wildlife Refuge System, which also includes waterfowl production areas in the PPR. Unfortunately, the buying power of the duck stamp has diminished as land prices have skyrocketed—in some cases by more than 400 percent in just a few years—in the places that are most important to waterfowl. Adjusting the price of the stamp is vital to ensure that sportsmen's investment in conservation continues to be effective. A bipartisan bill introduced by two MBCC members, Congressmen John D. Dingell (MI) and Rob Wittman, passed the House Natural Resources Committee in September and is awaiting a vote on the House floor. A companion bill in the Senate is expected soon.
With land values and crop prices increasing, landowners are finding it more and more difficult to protect their land and pocketbooks. In 2009, DU worked with members of Congress on two bills—one in the House and one in the Senate—to continue tax incentives that encourage landowners to conserve their land. Representatives Mike Thompson (CA) and Eric Cantor (VA) and Senators Max Baucus (MT) and Charles Grassley (IA) sponsored the bill to extend these incentives. For the latest information on these incentives and what you can do to help encourage Congress to extend them, visit www.ducks.org/taxes.
Another way that DU is promoting private land conservation is by working with Congress to develop concrete policies for the ecosystem services that conservation provides. Adopting management practices that provide cleaner air and water and protect against soil erosion benefits everyone, but incentives for landowners to adopt these practices are limited. There are several bills that would create these incentives for biological offsets for things like greenhouse gases that DU staff are following.
While many of the policy issues of importance to DU are specific to or heavily benefit waterfowl habitats in the PPR, DU is actively involved in the public-policy arena in other regions as well. Some examples include:
There are many other waterfowl issues in which DU's Governmental Affairs Office is fully engaged and many ways that DU members can be a part of the policy process. To stay up to date on all the latest policy news from Washington, D.C., please visit www.ducks.org/publicpolicy. You can also sign up to be a member of DU's Governmental Affairs Team and receive DU's weekly Conservation Issues Briefing (see sidebars).
Public policy isn't just for the experts. DU's 1 million members and supporters carry a lot of weight in the halls of Congress and in statehouses across the country.

The wind and solar developers who supported Ohio's energy portfolio mandates and using hidden taxes in utility bills to fund their pet projects have been quick to attack anyone who suggests they may have gone too far.
That attack came to Ohio recently when the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) ruled against a proposal that would have imposed a $357 million "tax" on American Electric Power (AEP) customers to subsidize a 49.5 megawatt (MW) solar project called Turning Point. Based on the evidence, the PUCO ruled that forcing customers to pay for Turning Point was not necessary in view of the fact that sufficient supplies of solar-generated electricity were readily available in Ohio. Following the decision, party officials, the "mandaters" and some newspapers attacked the PUCO's decision. Though predictable, their attack is short-sighted and fails to bring much needed attention to the anticompetitive, anti-solar and anti-consumer effects of Turning Point.
The claim that Turning Point is needed to satisfy the solar mandates assumed that without Turning Point there would not be enough solar electricity production in Ohio. The reality is very different. Thanks to the voluntary efforts of hundreds of residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Ohio, there is plenty of solar electricity production in Ohio without Turning Point.
In 2012 alone, voluntary choices by hundreds of Ohio citizens have produced over 33 MW of new solar electricity generating projects which have been certified by the PUCO as renewable energy resources. Each megawatt hour from these consumer-driven solar facilities yields a solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) which can be sold to help cover a portion of the cost. As a supporter of Turning Point recently acknowledged, Turing Point would mean that the "... SREC prices will almost certainly plunge to 'junk' status once the project is complete which will hurt solar developers ..." elsewhere.
The PUCO's approval is not required to build Turning Point. The proponents of the project could have moved forward in October 2010 when it was announced. They claim that Turning Point can stand on its own in the competitive market without the benefit of a new consumer tax. Yet they continue to attack the PUCO for not helping them raise electric bills so that Turning Point's developers don't have to obtain funding support the old fashioned way - by earning it.
Solar investment is alive and well in Ohio thanks to the "customer choice" structure of Ohio law that includes "net metering" and streamlined interconnection rules. As the PUCO found, Turning Point is not needed. And, had the PUCO found otherwise, it would have hurt consumers and the hundreds of Ohioans who were investing in solar while Turning Point's proponents were pushing for more government mandates and more hidden taxes in utility bills.

great gift
Received this from my sis for xmas - I love it so much I use it year round. My sister buys items from you frequently and sends them to me in Florida. I finally took the time to look up your website and will be making my own purchases. I find the fragrance to be right on target and not to much. I will definately be trying other's in the future.

A Favorite
I love this set! I like to have it out during the Holidays. Everyone LOVES it!~
Perfect Winter Fragrance
My search for a winter fragrance ended when I discovered Frasier Fir. Can't get enough of it--makes our home very cozy for the Christmas holidays. I even have the scented card for my car. It is so authentic--not medicine-like or too piney. Excellent formula. Don't ever discontinue this product.
Love this stuff
Frasier Fir - I love this outdoor feel I get just from the Scent - Everyone who uses the soap or lotion asks where to get it
No refills
Yes I love the fragrance, but not providing soap refills means the company expects you to buy another soap dispenser (terrible waste never mind the cost) every time you run out.

Paolo Soleri is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever been to. Holding 650 people, it was so intimate. Not sure I saw them in a smaller place. The venue has this cerebral native American vibe which made the experience religious, more so than Red Rocks. The Amphitheatre is shaped like a half of a bowl dug into the ground with all things facing the stage. Wild caves and Stones are the back drop for the stage. Surrounded by gorgeous New Mexico mountains. Cant be beat.
The music was the large part of this and every show but on this night there were some intangible occurrences that stand out equally to the music played. The venue was so small, I was front row the whole show. We had a decent size bong in the show which Page watched us smoke. He chuckled as we puffed out of it. I am not the kind of person who will say, "He looked into my eyes as I got high and it was like we were one." Sorry. Ive met the band too many times to care if I have eye contact with a member. Freaks. But it was cool. He was so close he could have lit it for us, I mean like 3 feet away. The audience was situated slightly higher than the band I could see everything. Treys expressions. The kind of socks Gordo had his neon pants stuffed in. The duct tape on Fishs Mumu.
Buried Opener is always welcomed. It rained before the show and the sun came out just as the band took stage. Of course Divided which during I remember the sun coming out as the wind whipped thru the venue. It was a heavenly moment. A really good Its Ice explained well by the prior review, a smoking Melt and If I Could was really pretty and suiting for the Paolo. Solid first set.
Other vivid memories are, during intermission a Latino man came out, I wouldnt bet much on what he was wearing but I remember a suit or tux. Probably not but whatever. He announced the upcoming shows which included Santana. Then a pretty, young lady walked onto stage, left a love letter on treys monitor and walked off. There was zero security at this place. Soon after an employee walked on stage and took the note. The crowd booed him. He laughed. We laughed. He took the letter and walked off. When the band took stage for the encore Trey said, Carlos is playing here! I wouldnt miss that. Then he teased a Santana number.
The Maze is ridiculous. Red Hot. Almost 11 minutes. This was a top shelf Maze. Trey was very into the show and his tone was very clean. This reflected in a VERY RARE second set Reba which completely brought the house down. This is a great version-Trey smokes it like we smoked those kind bong hits. Pure Butter. Hood was sick. Fishman was on his game. Trey hits a lot of pretty notes during his solo. The positive vibes were oozing from his ax thru his rig into our ears. We all swayed under thousands of stars held by a New Mexico sky. And a monster series of high notes from Trey w Fish Bombs. Then after a couple of bluegrass jams, I mentally willed a rocking Bowie. Bowie was wild and experimental- Very enjoyable. Usually I would leave for Coil but on this night I stood in that serine venue and enjoyed.
This is one of those nights that I would relive in a second.

These tires are really loud on a dry, smooth surface but off road they are the best I've ever had. On rocky surfaces you really need to dial down the air pressure.

OK first off I'm rating these as an OFF ROAD tire as there are on my Rock Crawler Jeep Scrambler with 1 Ton axles and while I do drive them on the street some they do not see a bunch of pavement. I'm running the 40X13.5R17 and have put them through some very nasty terrain in Southern New Mexico, mostly in rather sharp rocks near vertical where traction is imperative. As an Off Road tire I really like them with a seemingly medium compound they have a great mix of soft but hard enough to take a pounding. They have been on my rig for near 3 years have held up well and still have 90% tread on them (of course again its 90% Off Road). I'm sure they would have less if driven on the street on a daily basis. Bottom line if you want an extreme terrain tire that can take it, you looking in the right place.

37/12.50/r17 without a doubt the best damn tire around. Yes the noise is loud but I love it. Mud is the strong point because they dig in so well. I will be buying a new set for my crawler and Z71 in about 3 months.

Best tire I've ever ran. I have 100,350km on mine. They are bald now and will be getting replaced this weekend with another set. I work in the oil patch so they see a pile of gravel roads as well as pavement. If you can handle the noise they are the best tire out there.

Great tire, at home in the mud and snow. Great sounds coming down the road, and I get a lot of comments on the looks. They are some bad ass tires. I run the 37x13.50x20 size. Uniform wear, will prob last around 50k total miles. I will buy them again.
