@geotaylor :
That's a good observation. But WebSMS was meant for services that are not as easily accessible as a plain form.
Nothing against this widget as I have never downloaded it. But with the new "Open in Dashboard..." feature in Safari 3 it's easy to grab the SMS form from any carrier's website to make your own widget. Just an FYI for anyone that might want to give that a go.

Does anyone know if this race is going down this year? I have been prepping for a while for this race.
The application was supposed to be online June 1, but it is still reading the same message.
I am just wondering if I should be looking for a different race.
Try e-mailing the RD. I had heard through the grapevine that the race was iffy this year, but at least the date's still up, just no app. yet.
Yeah, I forgot to mention I tried that. Emails keep getting bounced back to me.
At least I know it is iffy this year. I will give it another week and begin my search for a different race.
i'm planning on this 50M the first weekend in Aug, in the general area. There is a 50K option as well:
http://www.thenorthface.com/endurancechallenge/[/URL" target="_blank">
Oh sweet! Thanks Merigayle!
I was hoping for a race on trails but I may have to take what I can get.
It's not your typical trail race, but it's not paved roads either according to the description.
Course Description
50-Mile- The course will begin on the Madeira School grounds. Staying primarily on running and horseback riding trails, it will meander through the campus and out into the thickly wooded area surrounding the campus. Runners will face a steep, downhill set of single track stairs, as well as a steep cutback area on the campus before reaching a river crossing leading to the State and County Parks. Upon crossing the river, the runners will run along the scenic, winding Potomac River where it will stretch for miles. At this point, runners will complete various different loops throughout the State and County Parks on a variety of terrains from single track trails to wide gravel roads. The course eventually loops back to the Madeira School grounds, where runners will once again cross the river, back to the finish in the same place it all started a mere 8 to 12 hours earlier.
huh, that definitely sounds interesting.
thanks, Merideth! I'm going to try to get off work that Saturday so I can do the 50 miler since it is close to me. This event has not been advertised that well.
I know! i just registered and it asked me for my shoe size, do we get shoes???
It fit perfectly in my training schedule. I was pretty happy about it. There were some full page ads in running magazines about the event. Nothing that i saw in UR mag though.
I get so depressed when there are no races in the summer, this will be great!!!!! Looking forward to seeing you again, hopefully we can hang out the night before. Durt is going to go too.
I am registered for the 50k! woohoo!
M, asked my boss off for that Saturday. He said it's too early to ask off that Saturday. He said we(him and I) may be able to trade work loads if worse came to worse.........That may mean 2-3 days trade for that 1 saturday off. That's a high price.
You said "I get so depressed when there are no races in the summer, this will be great!!!!!". M, I'm signed up for Highlands 40 next Saturday. Finger Lakes 50 and the end of the month, Turkey Swamp 50k(New Jersey) Aug 11, The Baker Challenge(50 miler) Aug 25(local PA race). Sept 8 Groundhog Fall 50K(another PA race). There's another 50 miler in October in upper central PA. I'm looking forward to Turkey Swamp since it will give me an opportunity to visit my sister(she lives less than an hour from Turkey Swamp Park).
I'll see you in New York at the Finger Lakes 50 races in a couple of weeks!

First time trying out AMD's APU, worked out of the box along with the motherboard I bought from here, this is the first time I bought anything from BT and I am extremely happy with my purchases. It arrived very quick, was in a very good protective package with airbags protecting it. Surprisingly it worked better than the reviews said it does, plays most games streamlessly and for a HTPC it is fantastic!

Runs at 80 Degrees
Reviewed by Richard Sheils. Review Posted 13/06/2013
What an excellent processor and loading times of games especially FSX have been cut.
However I set the CPU warning temperature to 70 degrees and the alarm sounded. So I changed the warning to 80 and still the warning sounded intermittently.
So far I haven't found anything about this processor's temperature it can run at safely but surely these temperatures especially on an intensive game like FSX are not good when a flight of multiple hours is carried out.
All in all I am very pleased with the performance and glad I waited for this Richland core rather than the Trinity A10-5800K.

"BBQ Brad" Austin has a true passion for barbecue.A judge in the upcoming Beaver Creek Blues, Brews & BBQ event, he has active professional affiliations with the National Barbecue Association (NBBQA), Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), and Rocky Mountain BBQ Association (RMBBQA). He judges 4 to 6 competitions regionally and nationally per year, serves as a barbecue consultant in mentoring new pitmasters and with sauce/dry rub development, and writes barbecue related articles for local, regional and national publications.And he says when it comes to barbecue, Beaver Creek knows what's cooking."Beaver Creek is stepping up their barbecue game, making this a very prestigious, premier event, and offering generous prize monies and trophies to the top three winners in each category," he said. "Most of these vendors rely solely on barbecue catering, restaurant and/or retail sales for their livelihoods, they take it very seriously and have to stay at the top of their game to remain solvent and successful in what they do." Mark Tamberino is one of those hard working people depending on barbecue to make his living. The owner of the Vail Valley-based Kirby Cosmo's BBQ, he says taking pride in his product has fueled his success. After establishing a brand with his neighborhood-favorite Minturn location, Tamebrino opened a second shop in Edwards in 2010.Of all the many happenings in the Vail Valley throughout the year, Tamberino's favorite event is the Blues Brews & BBQ. "Between the great beer that's being served all weekend long and the great blues music, the barbecue's just a nice compliment to it all," he said. "It's just a great, fun family event."This will be Tamberino's fifth year as a vendor at Blues, Brews & BBQ. Five years ago, he didn't have kids. Now he has two girls, ages 3 and 4. "My kids just love this event," he said. "There's great music, they dance on the ice rink, and we have a large pig costume we put on and give out barbecue for free."
This year, Tamberino plans on stepping up his menu. For the first time at Beaver Creek, barbecue masters this weekend will be competing for $10,000 in cash prizes. Today a panel of professional judges will rate pork dishes in blind judging according to appearance, taste and tenderness. On Sunday, event attendees will determine the People's Choice winners. Selected winners will be crowned Saturday and Sunday at 4:10 p.m. on the main stage in Beaver Creek Plaza. Without revealing too much, Tamberino says he's been working hard on a few crowd pleasers."I plan on bringing something in that I think will stand out and put me aside from all the other barbecuers there," he said.BBQ Brad is looking forward to judging the entrants. And the barbecue expert has seen a competition or two in his day.While he lives in Colorado now, BBQ Brad claims Tennessee as his home state, growing up with Pope Taylor's BBQ between Woodbury and Murfreesboro, Tenn. His family lived in a dry county and Pope was not only a BBQ purveyor, he was an unbonded liquor bootlegger. Bennie Bedford Austin, BBQ Brad's father and a WWII veteran serving in the U.S. Army for 10 years under General Patton, was a regular customer and a young BBQ Brad got an education in the art of smoked pork. BBQ Brad later moved to Memphis, one of the world's top BBQ capitals, not to study BBQ but to complete a nursing degree. "The first May (1980) we were in Memphis we visited the up-and-coming Memphis-in-May (MIM) International Barbecue Competition down in Tom Lee Park right beside the mighty Mississippi River. From then I was hooked," he said. "I knew I that barbecue was going to play a major role in my life."He entered his first barbecue competition in 1981 under the name of BBQ Brad and went on to be a regular competitor in the MIM competition.In Memphis he regularly cooked for hundreds to thousands of people at fundraising events for non-profit organizations such as St. Jude, the American Cancer Society, the National Hospice Organization and many more.
Upon moving to Colorado from Memphis, BBQ Brad was asked to cook for 750 Vail Valley Medical Center employees at the annual summer employee picnic. He had sold his smoker, which could cook three hogs at a time, and was forced to borrow a friend's much smaller device."It took me three days to prepare the pulled pork, beef brisket and barbecue beans," he said. "The next year I had a new smoker which I still have. I named it after my father and call it The Bennie B. It cooks almost 500 pounds of meat at the same time with one side having six rotisserie racks, the other side having stationary racks and a smoke box in the middle."And in a way, BBQ Brad's story is an allegory for all of the Rockies. Barbecue in the region has grown rapidly throughout the last decade, with restaurants like Kirby Cosmo's second location in Edwards, Moe's second location in Eagle and the Wildwood Grill atop Chair 3 on Vail Mountain all opening."The word is getting out throughout the Rocky Mountain region about this evolving and quality barbecue event at Beaver Creek," says BBQ Brad. "I predict that there will be some great barbecue for the public to sample, as well as some top entries in the Pork category for the judges to evaluate. I expect the competition to be keen this year, and increasingly competitive in successive years with more entry categories and creative challenges in barbecue."
On Saturday the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek hosts the largest exclusively Colorado Microbrewery Beer Tasting in the state from 1-5 p.m. The event will feature more than 80 special concoctions from 35 Colorado-based breweries and participants will receive a commemorative tasting mug. Advance tickets are $35 per person and will be $40 per person at the door. The event also will be held outdoors this year on the back lawn, near the top of Beaver Creek's Grand Staircase above the ice rink.Kid Zones will be open from Noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday providing activities and arts and crafts designed for kids 12 and under.For the blues component of the event, The Delta Sonics, Rory Block and Clay McClinton will perform live at scheduled times during the weekend. Wrapping up the weekend is the Cut and Slice Golf Event on Monday at the Beaver Creek Golf Club from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A shotgun start opens the day and golfers also will enjoy barbecue and craft beers around the course. Tickets are $90 per person which includes greens fee, golf cart, practice balls, tee gift and barbecue and beer on the course. Reservations can be made by calling the Beaver Creek Golf Club at 970-754-6212, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or purchase tickets online at www.beavercreek.com.

Courtroom renovation
Union County has received a state grant that will allow the county to proceed with needed improvements in the Chancery Court building.
The state has awarded a State Municipal and Limited Population County Grant for $100,000 that will be matched with about $16,900 in county money from the general fund.
Union County Board of Supervisors President Danny Jordan said, "The renovation has been needed to be done for a while. We will be able to extend the courtroom and add more security, too. We are fortunate to get this grant money."
The Chancery Court handles all sorts of domestic relations issues, including divorces, child custody and child support. The court also handles disputes and suits involving property lines and easements.
The court is divided into districts around the state. Eight counties are in our district here, with four elected judges by geographical area in the district. Court usually meets more than 100 days a year in the courtroom in Union County.
Some of the impetus to upgrade the court facilities has come from Chancery Court Clerk Annette Hickey and the judges and lawyers who use the court.
A tour of the courtroom shows clearly the kinds of improvements needed. The courtroom is too small to handle some of the crowds that flow through it. Parties to a dispute and their lawyers sit at tables that touch making private conversations between attorneys and clients difficult.
And there is virtually no security other than a bailiff, an important issue in some contested divorce and child custody cases. Plans for the improvements include construction of a secure hallway around the court area and additional witness waiting areas.
We support Ms. Hickey, the judges and lawyers in their efforts to enlarge and make more secure the Chancery Court courtroom and adjacent areas. It will be money well spent.

SANTA CLARA -- Indulging linemen with contract extensions has become a habit for the 49ers, though guard Alex Boone is still holding out for one.
Defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey signed a two-year extension Tuesday, and he did so with his left arm in a brace because of a torn biceps that's jeopardized his coming season.
Dorsey's deal comes in the wake of left tackle Joe Staley's two-year extension last month. Dorsey, 29, was entering the final year of his two-year deal, whereas Boone has two years remaining.
Boone remains entrenched in a contract dispute that's kept him away through the offseason program and training camp.
The deals with Dorsey and Staley followed Colin Kaepernick's six-year pact, in which he intentionally left salary-cap room for others.
Teammates entering the final year of their contracts include wideout Michael Crabtree, guard Mike Iupati, running back Frank Gore and cornerback Chris Culliver.
Progress is being made on Crabtree's negotiations, and an incentive-laden deal might be reached in the next two weeks, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday upon visiting the 49ers facility.
Kaepernick didn't stump on Boone's or anyone else's behalf Tuesday, deferring to the front office on how the 49ers should manage their payroll.
"For me, I tried to do something where we gave them space to try to get players back," Kaepernick said. "Now, who they sign and what they do with it, that is really up to them."
Dorsey curried enough favor in 17 months with the 49ers, making a smooth transition to nose tackle, that extending his deal shouldn't be surprising, even if he did tear the biceps in his left arm Aug. 1. The 49ers haven't decided if he'll miss the season or if he'll draw their injured-reserve/designated-for-return tag.
"Glenn is a true pro who has quickly become a valued contributor to our organization both on and off the field," general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "He is a quick study and a very good football player that has earned this extension, and we look forward to his future contributions."
Signed last year as a free agent out of Kansas City, Dorsey took over as the starting nose tackle once Ian Williams suffered an ankle injury in a Week 2 loss at Seattle. Williams is projected to return as this season's starter, though he started practicing only last week.
While Boone's absence has attracted national attention in potential trade scenarios, the offensive line has practiced since the spring without him -- and without right tackle Anthony Davis, who practiced Tuesday for the first time since April surgery on a torn left biceps and bone spurs in his labrum.
"It's exciting. I finally get to do what I do," said Davis, who is on track to play in the Sept. 7 opener at Dallas. He wasn't in full pads Tuesday but did wear his jersey and helmet for individual drills.
"We believe in Joe Looney, we believe we can win with Joe Looney," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Joe Looney is working every day to improve, and that's what we want the whole unit doing."
Kaepernick told the Sacramento Bee he suffered the injury in a Week 2 loss at Seattle when a defender landed on his foot. The 49ers injury reports vaguely described Kaepernick's ailment as merely a "foot" injury through October, while Kaepernick coyly passed it off as a "hangnail" issue.

Breakdown:With the same conditions we've been having these last few days andless crowds,today should be a great day at Vail. Hopefully there's more snow on the way soon, because the back of the mountain is starting to look a little worn again. The front side is still in great shape, though. Get out early before the nice groomed surface starts to ice over.

How to Use Griffith's Valuation in Your Irish Family Search
Author: Stephanie Varney
Griffith's Valuation is one of the most important record sources in any modern Irish family search. It's helped thousands of people all over the world re-discover their Irish roots, and is often one of the first sources someone consults when doing Irish genealogical research. If you have yet to use this gold mine of information on Irish families, it's recommended that you examine it right away, as it could contain much-needed information that you've been missing in your research.
Griffith's Valuation was a survey of Ireland that was completed in 1868, making it a treasure trove of Irish family information from the 19th century. Richard John Griffith was appointed by the British government in 1825 to conduct a boundary survey of Ireland. As part of the extensive project, Griffith was supposed to mark the boundaries of every county, civil parish, and town in Ireland. This job was completed in 1844. At the same time, Griffith was also working on an Ordnance survey of Ireland, which was taken over by Sir John Ball Greene in 1868. Green oversaw annual revisions of the valuation.
The valuation that's so important to an Irish family search today was comprised of two parts–a townland valuation and a tenement survey. The tenement survey is of most value to family historians. This valuation indexed and valued individual property for the first time, whereas only the larger estates of the gentry had been valued before. Griffith's Valuation was essentially an every-man survey of Ireland, and records heads of households that otherwise might be lost to history today.
If you're working on an Irish family search on ancestors who were in Ireland in the 19th century, you absolutely must examine Griffith's Valuation. Fortunately, it isn't difficult to access. It's widely available on many online genealogy databases, including Ancestry.com, so get out there and look up your ancestors in Griffith's Valuation today!
At the forthcoming International Conference on Family History, there will be many Irish researchers in attendance as well as lectures on finding your Irish Roots.

Short bowel syndrome is a condition that occurs when part of the small intestine is missing or has been removed during surgery. Nutrients are not properly absorbed into the body (malabsorption) as a result.
Small intestine insufficiency
When part of the small intestine is missing, there may not be enough surface area in the bowel to absorb enough nutrients from food. The this can happen when half or more of the bowel is removed during surgery or sections are missing due to a birth defect (congenital defect),
Risk factors include diseases of the small intestine that may require surgery, such as Crohn's disease. In infants, necrotizing enterocolitis is a common cause.
Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms. Treatments may include:
The condition may improve over time if it is due to surgery. Nutrient absorption may slowly get better.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of short bowel syndrome, especially after you have had bowel surgery.

Nutrient composition data for fresh pork products in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) have been updated in 2007 and in 2009. These new data are important since animal husbandry practices and industry procedures have led to the availability of leaner cuts. In order to provide current nutrient information on fresh pork products in SR, the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists at selected universities and the National Pork Board, has conducted studies to determine the nutrient composition, both raw and cooked, of nine (9) fresh pork cuts (shoulder blade steak, tenderloin roast, top loin chop, top loin roast, sirloin roast, loin chop, rib chop, country style ribs, and spare ribs) and fresh ground pork at various fat levels. To assist industry in preparing for new nutrition labeling regulations proposed by the Food Safety and Inspection Service, these data are being presented in this release.
You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer to view the report.
See additional research on these data, which has been presented at the 2009 Institute of Food Technologists Food Expo + Annual Meeting.

- California Democrats urge fiscal responsibility with revised budget
SACRAMENTO -- After proposing a bold new education-funding plan in January aimed at helping schools better educate disadvantaged students, then facing push-back from his own party, Gov. Jerry Brown stuck to his guns in his May budget revision released Tuesday.
"I think most Democrats -- in our heart of hearts -- want to help those whom life has not given the same opportunities to enjoy," he said as he unveiled his revised budget.
Brown said all K-12 schools would get more funding than they received in 2011-12, but that those with higher concentrations of low-income students, English language learners and foster youth would get more. All districts with students in these categories would receive 35 percent supplemental grants for each unduplicated student, according to the plan.
Those school districts in which more than half of students are disadvantaged would receive additional "concentration grants," which Brown said would amount to only 4 cents for every dollar being spent on education. Senate Democrats recently unveiled their own proposal, which would eliminate concentration grants and spread them to all districts to increase the base amounts for every student.
But Brown said that would end up diluting the concentration grants to the point that they would barely be felt. State Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in a prepared statement that he supports the policy direction of the governor's education funding proposal, but still has serious concerns about how to accomplish its goals.
"The concentration grants treat thousands of disadvantaged students unequally," he said. "(The proposal) also fails to expand the proven success of career pathway programs which can reduce dropout rates and improve our kids' readiness for the workforce by combining rigorous curriculum that's also relevant to students' career goals."
Currently, programs such as career technical education receive "categorical" money that is earmarked specifically for them. Under the governor's proposal, districts would receive "base grants" that could be used to fund programs with more local control.
State lawmakers will almost certainly come back with another proposal, said Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-Concord, who heads the budget subcommittee on education finance.
Still, she said, "I believe it will be an alternative that will reflect the spirit and the principles the governor has put forward."
Although Brown didn't budge on funding, he did compromise with some critics, who said his proposal needed to build in more accountability to ensure that districts that receive extra dollars for disadvantaged students will actually spend the money on them. Districts would be required to create plans showing how the money would be used and would be expected to show academic growth for low-income, English learner and foster youth students.
Brown also built in about $1 billion to help school districts implement the state's new Common Core Curriculum Standards, which will require all testing to be done on computers. The money could be spent on professional development, technology or curriculum materials.
Bonilla praised the inclusion of money to help schools transition to new teaching methods and testing.
"Our students deserve this opportunity to be challenged by standards that require analytical thinking," she said in a statement, "and this targeted use of one-time money provides educators with the tools to advance instruction and integrate technology into the learning environment."
Brown also devoted more money toward paying back money owed to districts from past budgets, known as "deferrals." In addition, his plan accelerates the rate at which his new funding formula would be phased in, giving more money to districts next year than originally anticipated.
While the specter of more dollars from Sacramento elates educators, uncertainty about whether the Legislature will adopt the governor's plan is throwing a wrench into sticky contract talks between unions and some school districts.
"That's slowing down negotiations," said Superintendent Dennis Byas of the San Lorenzo Unified School District.
Because his district includes a high percentage of English learners and low-income students, Byas said San Lorenzo would get more money if the Legislature adopts Brown's plan.
"I like the governor's proposal better," he said. "It gives us the opportunity to really support our teachers."
Even though his suburban district doesn't stand to gain greatly by the governor's revamped school funding formula, Superintendent Mark Barmore of the Moreland elementary district in San Jose was happy after taking a preliminary glance at the revised budget.
"I very much believe in what the governor is attempting to do," he said. "I'm also very happy that there will be more money for all schools."
He appreciates the proposal to repay districts more of what the state owes them, and to allocated funds for preparing for Common Core tests and curriculum.
"This is a particular issue that has made everybody very anxious," he said. "Getting some support from the state is very critical."
Raul Parungao, Fremont Unified's assistant superintendent of business services, was also pleased about the additional money for implementing the standards.
"There are no guidelines as of yet," he said. "But it's very promising."
Newark Unified's assistant superintendent Tim Erwin called the governor's plans "a major overhaul in the way that California funds schools."
"There are a lot of details still out there that will have to be explored," he said. "But I'm cautiously optimistic that we're turning the corner in California in spending for education."
Next week, lawmakers expect to hear from school officials from around the state about the governor's plan and what it would mean to implement it in the coming school year, as he proposes.
"This is the critical week," Bonilla said, "when we need to find out: Is the governor's time line a possibility or not?"
Brown's budget summary is available by visiting www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf. Revised district funding estimates should be available in the next few weeks on the Department of Finance website.

HAYWARD -- Police are asking the public for help in locating a Hayward mother who went missing last week.
Samantha Tuia, 29, was last seen leaving her home in the 27800 block of Havana Avenue just before noon on Feb. 19, said Sgt. Eric Krimm.
Tuia, who has a 6-year-old daughter, told family she was headed to work that day but police later learned she was not employed, Krimm said.
Her family reported her missing the morning of Feb. 20, police said.
"We have nothing to indicate this is foul play so, for now, it's presumably a voluntary disappearance. But we still want to locate her," Krimm said Tuesday.
Tuia's daughter's father lives in Sacramento, Krimm said.
Police described Tuia as a Samoan woman, 5 feet 8, 210 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, a gray sweater and black slacks.

A Conversation with Jim Lehrer
Monday, April 22, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Television newsman Jim Lehrer has presided over 12 presidential and vice-presidential debates and written about them in his 2011 memoir Tension City. Now, MacNeil/Lehrer Production has published Debating Our Destiny, a multimedia-enhanced ebook by University of Montana journalism professor Lee Banville on the history of presidential debates. The book includes video clips from Lehrer's post-debate interviews with most of the candidates of the last 40 years.
Now Lehrer and Banville join Library Director Crosby Kemper III for a public conversation that provides insight into the presidential debate moments that have shaped history.
A native of Wichita, Kansas, and graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Lehrer is executive editor and former news anchor of the PBS NewsHour. He is the author of nearly two dozen novels and three memoirs. Banville is a NewsHour alum, having served as editor-in-chief on the Online Newshour.

Combine free acoustic music from some of the nation's biggest names with a bevy of brews to sample and you have a raucous, fun mountain festival in the making. Bluegrass & Beer returns to Keystone for a 16th year this weekend, kicking off tonight with a concert at Warren Station Center for the Arts. On Saturday and Sunday, the craft brews will flow from the taps of more than 25 participating brewers, and the music lineup hits heavy with 16 bluegrass performances on three stages.Doors open at 8 p.m. for tonight's bluegrass party at Warren Station, with music by Oakhurst and the Farewell Drifters starting at 9. Tickets are $10. Music enthusiasts can get an early start Saturday with a choice of bluegrass seminars, including guitar instruction by national flatpicking champion Tyler Grant at 9 a.m. or banjo instruction with Jesse Langlais at 10. Seminars are scheduled throughout the weekend and include fiddle with Casey Driessen, songwriting by Grammy nominee Darrell Scott and singing instruction from Tim O'Brien. These are free to Keystone lodging guests and $10 otherwise.Free, live acoustic music will emanate from the festival stages Saturday and Sunday from 12:30-5 p.m. Sunday's acts include Head for the Hills at 3 p.m. on the River Run Events Plaza stage and Darrell Scott at 3 p.m. on the Montezuma Plaza stage. On Saturday night there will be a bluegrass party from 8:30-11 in Warren Station featuring Tim O'Brien and The Casey Driessen Singularity. "Saturday night should be a great show," said Maja Russer, events and marketing director for the Keystone Neighborhood Company, the event's host. "Last year and continuing on this year we put resources toward upping the level of the bluegrass music. We've added more variety and more bluegrass seminars, and the beer component is back and strong as ever." Unlimited beer tasting costs $40 for one day or $75 for both, and the price includes an official Keystone Bluegrass & Beer sampling mug commemorating the festival's 16th year. Tasting runs from 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Nearly all of the music is free, so the other options are to listen to bluegrass sans suds or shop for $5 pints one at a time at the Shock Top Beer Garden, starting at noon Saturday and Sunday. Food vendors offer their fare from noon to 5 p.m. "It's so unique that our whole festival is actually free," Russer said. "Last year was one of the biggest Bluegrass & Beers ever." All signs point to good attendance this year, too.Organizers have a new plan in place, including a touch screen system to handle the tasting mug line, which Russer admits was long last year. Mugs can also be purchased online at www.keystonefestivals.com until the event's start on Saturday. Gate sales open by 11 a.m. and tasting starts at 1 p.m. Russer recommends locals and those seeking a mellower experience give Sunday a try. "Sunday is such a good day to get that local feel and say 'hi' to all your friends," she said. "The local secret is to come on Sunday. It's a little quieter and you can get more time talking to the different breweries and listening to the music."Those traveling to the festival can take advantage of lodging specials, which include beer tasting, through www.keystoneresort.com.Bluegrass & Beer benefits the High Country Conservation Center's mission to find practical solutions to waste reduction and resource conservation.

Police said the victim is a 4-year-old child in the family.
He was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Jail with an arraignment set for April 1.

Beloved veterinarian Britt Seely may be gone, but his practice will live on.
Anne Sobers, the vet who had worked part time at Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic before Seely's death last Friday, will now work full time at the practice, she said.
Sobers says she's committed to keeping the clinic going and hopes to find another vet who will also work with her full time. She said she will continue to charge a modest amount for visits.
"A large part of the reason that I worked for Dr. Seely, since graduating from veterinary school in 1989, was that I share his practice philosophy," Sobers wrote to clients. "(Dr. Seely) understood how much people loved their pets. He also understood people had mortgages and taxes to pay, so he always tried to keep his services affordable, while still being effective."
Seely, 58, who owned the Brodheadsville Veterinary Clinic since 1984 and was known for his compassion toward animals and their owners, died last Friday morning. His death came as a shock to many and threw into question whether the practice would remain open.
But Sobers, who had been working full time at the practice since Seely got sick, said she decided she would step up to the plate. She said she will continue to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
She said the clinic, which is technically owned by Seely's wife Barbara, will open for a limited amount of time on Friday. People may schedule appointments and have their pet medicines filled. She said that the clinic hopes to return to full-time hours on Monday.
Sobers, who lives in Saylorsburg, said that if the practice does hire another vet, she hopes that person will share her and Seely's belief that medical care for pets shouldn't break the bank.
For now, though, she just asks that clinic clients be patient with her as she tries to adjust to heading up the veterinarian practice.
"I have big shoes to fill," she said.

MARIETTA - Washington County welcomed the Christmas season Saturday with two parades featuring Santa Claus, the first on Saturday afternoon in downtown Marietta and the second in the early evening in Belpre.
Despite the cold weather, the crowds at both parades appeared to be enthusiastic about the upcoming holiday season.
Marietta's parade was first, beginning at 1p.m.

Nicky Calvert, a Columbus resident who will soon be moving to Marietta, said she and her children were looking forward to different things in the parade. One was looking forward to candy thrown from the floats and fire trucks and another wanted to see reindeer. Of course, they both wanted to see Santa Claus.
Calvert said Saturday was her first visit to the Marietta parade.
"I look forward to coming out here and spending some family time," she said. "It's all about the kids."
Calvert said the parade allowed her to spend quality with her children.
"That's what Christmas if for; spending family time," she said. "It's quality moments like this when you get to go back to when you were a kid and spending time with the family.
"It's kind of like a reflection."
Rob and Mary Byrd said they have made it to the Marietta parade every year.
"We used to live in Parkersburg and went to the parade there," said Mary Byrd. "This parade is a nice parade."
Rob said their son Brian also enjoys the parade.
"Brian really enjoys the season," he said.
The Belpre Holiday Lights Parade took place Saturday evening on Washington Boulevard, between Belpre High School and Howes Grove Park. During the parade, the Belpre High School Band was part of the show again in an unusual manner. Instead of marching, the band's members rode in a float and played seasonal favorites.
"We are trying to rebuild the marching band program," said Bill Van Pelt, BHS band director. "It's a young group, we have 45 in band class, they aren't ready to march yet."
Van Pelt said the float made it possible for the group to get back in the community eye and gather support for their efforts.
"We want to make them visible, get them out in the community, so we decided to have them on a float," he said.
Crystal Barnes, of Belpre, said her family came out for the lighted parade despite the chilly weather on Saturday night.
"This is the first one and we plan to go to others," she said.

From Katrina Kittle, critically acclaimed author of The Kindness of Strangers, comes a wry and moving story of forgiveness, flexibility, happiness, and the art of moving on.
Veterinarian Cami Anderson has hit a rough patch. Stymied by her recent divorce, she wonders if there are secret ingredients to a happy, long-lasting marriage or if the entire institution is outdated and obsolete. Couples all around her are approaching important milestones. Her parents are preparing to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. Her brother and his partner find their marriage dreams legally blocked. Her former sister-in-law—still her best friend—is newly engaged. The youthfully exuberant romance of her teenage daughter is developing complications.

But as she struggles to come to terms with her own doubts amid this chaotic circus of relationships, Cami finds strange comfort in an unexpected confidant: an angry, unpredictable horse in her care. With the help of her equine soul mate, she begins to make sense of marriage's great mysteries—and its disconnects.

The cause of a fire that left a Hale man dead on Friday is still under investigation.
Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox reported that around 5:30 p.m. Friday, his staff was dispatched to a location on LIV 387 regarding a possible fatality and vehicle fire.

Swooped up Bioshock Infinite for a song at $19.99. And it's a direct download from Games on Demand, so everyone, even the environment, wins. I'm very excited to play it, though I want to wrap up this Dust: An Elysian Tail side-scrolling RPG first.

I'm actually playing GTA Online in Xbox Live. First time I've used my headset since Gears of War 3, although that whole "shouting at convenience store clerks to make them empty the register faster" thing gets old fast. Nobody wants to hear a 35 year old white guy shout "ya'll know what this is" into voice chat.

Anyone got a crew that's looking for people who are no better than half-crap at driving and shooting, but know better than to shoot too many cops during the getaway?

Police are looking for two gunmen who shot and killed two men outside an East Augusta nightclub. It happened early Saturday morning around 2 a.m. News 12 interviewed one of the victim's family members, and they say they're desperate for some help.
Steve Martin's family says they've talked to witnesses who think they might've known the gunman and now they're begging those that do to come forward and give police a piece of the puzzle that might help solve the case.
It's the second child that Annie Martin has lost in the past nine years. Just days after the shootings, family members of the victims are already wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
"I thought you grow old and your kid bury you, now I'm burying two. It don't make no sense," said Annie Martin, Steve Martin's mother.
Her son, Steve Martin, died at MCG early Saturday morning after he was shot in the chest outside Gunther's Lounge.
"He was a good person at heart, always tried to make everyone laugh," Annie said.
The kind of guy who would try to help a stranger if he thought they were in trouble.
"They was saying he was trying to stop someone else from fighting and the boy ended up hitting him and they got to where they were fighting," said Tammie Martin, Steve Martin's sister.
Police say that's when the fight led outside the bar to the parking lot where the gunmen fired several shots at Martin.
While one suspect was firing at Martin, another gunman was chasing after his longtime friend, Michael Bogans, who was also shot in the chest.
"Steve and Michael grew up together as kids, they been knowing each other since and they run tight," Annie said.
"Not knowing who did it is the worst part," Tammie said.
"You can't give life back, don't take it," Annie said.
Having to comfort other family members during the time of grief is an act Annie Martin is a little too familiar with.
Police are still looking for both suspects. The first is believed to be a black male, about five-four, 130-150 pounds, with braids, gold teeth and wearing a blue and yellow jersey. The second suspect is a black male about six feet tall, with light skin and a short afro. One, or possibly both men, may have fled the scene in a tan vehicle believed to be a late model Buick.
Police believe dozens of people were on the scene during the time of the shooting, but left before police were able to get there. If you were one of those witnesses that night, you are asked to contact the Richmond County Sheriff's Office at 821-1080.

text: Mustasch, a heavy metal band from Sweden, has been around for a long time; too long, in fact, for them to be not be better known in the rest of the world. After seven albums, tours with the likes of Motörhead, three Swedish Grammy nominations and one victory to the tune of "Metal Album of the Year" in 2008, you would think Mustasch would be about as close to a household name around the world as heavy metal bands get these days. However, despite their Scandinavian success, Mustasch have yet to take the world by storm.

Some have experienced it or heard stories but how do you avoid hitting the wall?
Without a doubt, proper training and race readiness. By proper training I mean the physical, mental, and nutritional components. Practicing a well balanced nutrition plan in training, and executing it on race day. Also, by doing a proper taper to ensure your body has replenished it nutrients and energy prior to the race. Lastly, not taking the race start out too fast, but rather conservatively, wait it out, see how your body is reacting, it will let you know whether or not you can go for it, if you trained properly, my guess is that it will tell you to pick it up through out the race.
Toby, I think this article will answer a lot of your questions. It really helps explain the physiology of calorie consumption and what is happening to your body when it hits "the wall".
Good luck!
Great article!!! Very helpful. Thanks!:8}
This article is actually written very poorly. As the name implies, disaccharides have two, not "two or three" sugar subunits. The "gastric emptying" (in case this term even exists) probably refers to the fact that some simple sugars (fructose, glucose, saccharose) can be utilized by the body faster than others (maltose, starch). However, most of the energy you use during your run is stored in your body already in the form of glycogen. The volume of food in your stomach is most likely not very important, unless you run for a very long time. Therefore it is important that you eat the right and enough food during the days ahead of your race, as well as to take care that you don't over-sugar with simple carbs in the hours before start time and during the race. If you do, you will "bonk": glucose burns fast and spikes your insulin levels. Glucose burns faster than your insulin levels decay, therefore you end up with too much insulin in your blood. Insulin reduces the sugar levels in your blood, and your muscles run out of fuel. You crash. Maltose does not trigger insulin as rapidly or massively as glucose does. Therefore my tip: Eat or drink a product that is based on maltose and stay away from glucose containing products!
i am new here, and i am unsure who the gurus are and who isnt.
in response to wundermichls post:

me here: Gastric emptying alomst certainly does exist, it is a simple proceedure that is under complex neural control, and is important in chosing what you eat and the type of electrolyte and Carbohydrate content.
the mention of insulin levels spiking and relating to glucose levels is attributed to the Somoygi affect. Too much glucose will cause a massive release of insulin which will clear the glucose out of circulation very fast , causing a rapid loss in immediately available energy and particular in mental alertness.
The amount of glucose, and electrolytres as well as other indicators are seen and checked in endurance horses who can race over 320 km's in a 5 day race, in Australia where it can be hot and humid.

Yea, TrailRunner is a mag primarily for ultra off-road racers (and Toby happens to be running a 50 mile trail run today). You probably wouldn't need to worry about carbs in a 10 miler or shorter race, but marathons and ultras certainly require calorie consumption during the event.
i find myself hitting the wall when i can not focus...so i make myself focus by yelling "pick up the pace",or"i want it more than you".and then thinking to myself pass out before i fall out. just like when i was in the army.(i also prepare nutritionally,physically,etc)

LOS ANGELES -- The Kings of Los Angeles, a proud group just two years removed from a Stanley Cup run, did what you would expect them to do here Thursday night.
They skated like crazy. They hit hard. They refused to go down easy. And they beat the Sharks by a score of 6-3 to extend the teams' playoff series to a fifth game.
So, Sharks: No sweep for you.
(Sorry. It was an irresistible line, considering that "Seinfeld" writer Larry David was in the crowd at Staples Center.)
The concern would be that, even though the Kings were dogged in their attack, the Sharks helped them along a little too much. That cannot continue at SAP Center on Saturday night.
"They played well," said the Sharks' Logan Couture, speaking of the Kings. "We knew they were going to be desperate, and they were. We didn't forecheck in the first two periods, the way we'd like. We've got to tighten that up in San Jose. But we're still up, 3 games to 1."
It wasn't that far from being 4-0, however. Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick was giving up juicy rebounds and still hasn't resembled the stopper he can be. But for Sharks goalie Antii Niemi, the trouble really began late in the second period, with the score tied at 2-2. Niemi was hanging in there, along with the rest of his team.
"I thought I felt fine, was seeing the puck well," Niemi said.
Then, in a flash, the Kings played pingpong and scored. Willie Mitchell was out front and slammed the puck hard off the end boards as Niemi came out a smidgen too far to anticipate the shot but lost track of the puck when it whizzed past him. As the rubber wedge ricocheted back toward the net, Justin Williams flicked his stick at it and tucked the thing into the net.
"When I found the puck, it was too late," Niemi said. "Weird bounces."
But sometimes, a goofy goal like that can bring a team to life. That's just what it did for the Kings, who scored again a few minutes later -- and then again less than a minute into the third period to take a 5-2 lead. Niemi was pulled off the ice and replaced by Alex Stalock.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan was harsh in his assessment of what had happened.
"I didn't like our net play," he said. "As simple as that."
McLellan then clarified his statement -- to say that he was talking about the way his defensemen allowed secondary scoring chances on rebounds off Niemi and his forwards did not provide proper support when necessary.
"I'm definitely not talking about one individual with pads on," McLellan said.
That should settle the issue of who starts the next game. Niemi has not been the best goalie of the NHL playoffs. He probably could/should have stopped one or two of Thursday's goals -- including Marian Gaborik's shot that Niemi saw all the way.
"Not too many times can you say that you cannot stop one," Niemi said, taking some blame.
But as McLellan said, the Thursday assault was not entirely his fault.
Among other things, the Sharks could have controlled the puck far more in their offensive end, as they did in the first three games of the series. And they allowed another power-play goal by the Kings after giving up two in Game 3.
But let's face facts. If someone had told the Sharks they would split their two games at Staples Center this week to take a 3-1 lead back to SAP Center, most would have taken that scenario in a heartbeat. These Kings are not the fragile Vancouver Canucks who were ready to be swept by the Sharks in the first round a year ago -- and were indeed ousted in four.
No, these Kings have more spine than that. But they clearly do not enjoy playing at the Shark Tank and realize winning Game 5 in San Jose will be tougher than winning Game 4 was at Staples.
The Sharks, meanwhile, don't need to win any more games here at Staples to clinch the series. But they would do well to close out things on Saturday. They don't need any more nutty bounces to make things more complicated. Neither does Niemi.

Steven Gerrard will again patrol the midfield for Liverpool this season. Support the Reds' star midfielder with this official home jersey.
Liverpool needed a jersey that could live up to their prestigious history. Many of the cups and titles that Liverpool has achieved (especially in the 70's and 80's) were won wearing jacquards (a fancy name for woven-in design) and prints. Liverpool's new jersey features both. It's a jersey worthy of the most awe-inspiring club history in all of English soccer.
The crest has also been freshened up in tribute to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, but adidas has left the eternal burning flames intact.
Liverpool has been playing top flight soccer for more than 40 straight years and has seen much success during that span. Show your support for your favorite English team with this great home jersey. You'll never walk alone when you pull on this incredible shirt.
Heat pressed Liverpool team badge, embroidered adidas logo. CimaCool and mesh ventilation throughout for cool comfort. 100% polyester. Imported.
