A catchy title right? Unfortunately it bespeaks of a societal problem of grave consequences. Robert Bork, the ill-fated Bush nominee to the Supreme Court a few years back, whose book, Slouching Toward Gomorrah, covers pretty much the same issues in great depth.
Of course nothing says a truth better than Scripture. Please reference Isaiah 5:20 which says "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" Please read the verses fore and aft to this verse to really appreciate the context.
All sorts of examples come to mind of society's accepting the unacceptable. How often do we hear of a man or woman (sometimes even clergy) who has betrayed his/her wedding vows described by friends and neighbors as a good loving father/mother and husband/wife. Yea, right!
Or how about the politicians especially those at the top of the heap, e.g. our president and many Congressmen who deliberately lie to the American people. When overwhelming facts are revealed refuting the lie and a recant is politically expedient, their toadies will tell us that he/she was quoted out of context or that he/she mis-spoke. Remember a lie is any statement that we utter with the intention to deceive.
Another very serious example is how political leaders view the jihad that has been proclaimed (a fatwa "Urging Jihad Against Americans" signed by Muslim leaders from several countries in 1998) against America by Muslim leaders in position of authority in Islam. If you care to read about Islam's intentions I would refer the readers to the following Suras in the Koran (Qur'an) and then decide for yourselves: Suras (chapters) 2:191; 5:33; and 9:5. Please keep in mind that there are several Islamic organizations committed to terrorism: Hamas; Hizbollah; and the Muslim Brotherhood. You don't often hear so-called moderate Muslims condemning them unfortunately. Present day slavery in Muslim controlled countries, women's rights, and human rights violations occur regularly in these countries. Need I say more.
Our leaders so often describe Islam as a peaceful "religion", ignoring the fact that it has never been peaceful since it's inception in 622 A.D. A little tidbit of Islamic history which happened circa 620 A.D. - Mohammed ordered and participated in the beheading of between 700 and 900 Jewish (Beni Quraiza tribe) men in Medina who refused to follow his orders. In reality it is an ideology bent on conquering the world by the sword if necessary, terrorism and imposing Sharia law and establishing Khilafah (a global Islamic state in which Islam reigns supreme and controls ever aspect of society and government). A peaceful religion? Talk about calling evil good whew!
Space limits posting other examples, so one more will have to suffice. As a so-called Christian nation we have pretty much stiff-armed God, rejected His authority in our individual lives and in society in general. II Tim 3:1-9 describes the coming apostasy and the characteristics of people and society. There are twenty characteristics listed, so here are only a few germane to our subject: proud, arrogant, swollen with conceit (boastful NIV), treacherous (constant liars LT), etc. Do these in any way describe our society and unfortunately many of our political leaders? Think about it!
So as believers what can we do? Here again we come back to Scripture for an answer. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us the context being God's answer to Solomon's prayer - "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." For most Americans that means a drastic life style change, getting right with God, a.k.a. receiving Jesus as our Lord and Savior and purposing to live our lives in obedience to Him. It also means becoming proactive in the "body politic" and voting against and actively working to defeat our leaders who support the "unacceptables," e.g. bigger government, profligate government spending, greater debt, progressive (socialist) programs versus a free market, free enterprise economy that has made our nation a world leader, abortion on demand, same sex marriage, etc. Aligning ourselves with those who are trying to make a difference in the morality of our community is also a wonderful way to "walk the talk".

BOULDER, Colo. - An LGBTQ advocacy group has launched an online petition seeking to pressure organizers of a popular road race to drop their slogan "Sea Level is for Sissies."
"Sissies," it says, is derogatory. "The word is used to (demean) traits that are problematically and stereotypically associated with women," reads the Change.org petition launched by Out Boulder. "It's past due that the Bolder Boulder retire this slogan."
Mardi Moore, the executive director for Out Boulder, said the slogan is "harmful" and leads to further misunderstanding about gender.
The Bolder Boulder, a 10-kilometer race that started in 1979, draws more than 50,000 participants a year and bills itself as the nation's biggest timed race. This year's running is on May 26.
Boulder, in the foothills of the Rockies, is at 5,430 feet above sea level.

Displays a bar on screen that allows quick access to enchanting, jewelcrafting, and inscription professions by presenting a Disenchant/Prospect/Mill button and all of the breakable items you have for that profession next to it. Also displays a bar for any locked junkboxes in your inventory if you're a Rogue. This allows one-click access for breaking down items instead of finding the item in your bag, clicking the appropriate profession/skill button, and clicking the item for each and every item you want to break. For prospecting and milling, you will see the number of items you have alongside the number of times you can break it. In the prospecting screenshot on the right, the player has 169 total Saronite Ore in his bags which will allow for 33 total prospects.
By default, if you have the appropriate profession and items in your inventory, a bar will appear with the profession ability followed by any items that are eligible for breaking. You can hold shift to drag the bar around if you want to move it. Clicking the profession button will activate that ability (disenchant/prospect/mill) and clicking an item will break it. You don't have to click the profession button first as simply clicking the item will automatically break it down.
Typing /brk will open the configuration settings (or you can get to it from Blizzard's Interface options) which consist of:
- Hide if no breakables: this will control whether you see the profession button or not when nothing breakable is detected
- Max number to display: this controls the highest number of items that you will see next to your profession button. If this is 5 but you have 10 breakable items in your bags, you will only see 5 at a time.
- Show soulbound items: aimed at enchanters, this controls whether or not you will see items that are soulbound as breakable items or not.
Known issues
- If you have a stack less than 5 positioned properly in your bags, the game will say that you do not have enough items to break. This is a bug in Blizzard's API and is present with all similar tradeskill mods that I've tried out. The default UI now has a built-in button to compress stacks that should solve this issue.

Nice. A couple of feature thoughts:
- This concept could easily expand to include buttons for condensing motes / crystallized elements into primals / eternals which only appear when you have enough to do so.
- Could use more flexibility in position, orientation, etc of bars... maybe some code could be borrowed from AutoBar?

Er, where are these bars? I have ore in my bags, stacks to be prospected. Doesn't show anything. How about a UI?

Roger in semis
Roger won his quarter final against Milos Roanic 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3) today to book his spot in the semi-finals in Halle.
"It was a great match on a high level and I am glad that it worked out so well" said Roger.
Roanic's strong serves - 220 km/h - were a tough weapon for Roger to battle against. But Roger did so very well, not facing a single break-ball during the entire match. The Canadian simply had that extra bit of luck in the tie-break of the first set. In the second, Roger stayed focused to secure the only break of the match. In the final set, our champ then made sure to score enough mini-breaks in the tie-break to convert his second match-ball for a spot in the semis.
Next up is Mikhail Youzhny (ATP 31). Roger leads the head-to-head 12-0.
I appreciate your battle to win by keeping your cool, but if only you can improve on your shot-making. Nothing wrong with your shots but they lack the speed and accuracy!
Great match against Raonic again! It's a privilege to see you play, but more so on grass!
All the best in the semis!
Well RG semifinal was like you wanted to loss it on your own and the Djoker can never beat you on his game.
You have beaten this new sensation three time in a row shows the class you are in. Come this sunday we are sure you will have your 75th trophy in your luggage. Go on our champ. your are the greatest ever for sure....

Looking Back & Looking Ahead at U.S. Drug Approvals
Looking Back & Looking Ahead at U.S. Drug Approvals
01.08.13 | By Stephanie Fischer
You've likely seen the good news that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 39 New Molecular Entities (NMEs) in 2012, the highest number in 16 years.
The FDA seems optimistic about the future of medicines, saying in a quote to Reuters that the "pipeline of new drugs under development remains strong and is growing." Later this month, PhRMA will release a new report on innovation in the biopharmaceutical pipeline that highlights thousands of new treatment options that have potential to improve and extend patients' lives.
As a Forbes columnist noted with some excitement, 47% of the medicines approved last year were first in class (compared to 48% of approvals in 2011). First in class therapies utilize different mechanisms of action than other previously-approved therapies and are notable for their potential positive impact on patient care and public health.
What does the biopharmaceutical industry need to continue to provide innovative new medicines to patients who need them? In addition to public policy that supports and encourages innovation, an efficient, consistent and predictable science-based regulatory system is essential.
The recently reauthorized Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) provides FDA with new tools and resources to help continue the higher approval trend. PDUFA V establishes an enhanced NME review program that is built on increased scientific communication between the FDA and drug sponsors during the regulatory review of new medicines. This has the potential to increase first-cycle approval rates and bring new medicines to patients faster. PDUFA V also provides dedicated resources to the FDA to advance regulatory science which will help make future drug development and review more efficient.
2013 has great potential for the biopharmaceutical industry and the patients we serve.

January 4, 2006
It's a new year with some of the same old problems for the Augusta commission. News 12 explains why commissioners are gridlocked on several key issues and how the mayor plans to get them to work together.
Most people would not expect commissioners to agree on every issue. But with recent decisions racially dividing the commission and others being tabled due to abstentions, many agree that it's time for a change.
"Stop this pettiness and get down to what you are supposed to be doing and stop it," Harold Shapiro said.
You can call Harold Shapiro the voice of the people.
"To me that's childish," Shapiro said.
People with mounting frustrations toward the Augusta commission's often inability to find ground.
"If they would just stop this racial junk and get down to the facts of life," Shapiro said.
Tuesday's meeting may have been like deja-vu for some, with commissioners voting along racial lines on several issues.
Some also option to abstain from votes and in the past some commissioners have been accused of leaving the room or not showing up at all to prevent items from passing.
"People don't want to go against someone so they don't show up and don't vote at all. I don't think that's a good idea," said Gerald Merriwether.
"I'm going to lay out because I don't want to vote on something, that to me, you're not doing your job," Shapiro said.
Mayor Deke Copenhaver and some commissioners echo these same concerns.
"I think that is exemplary of why we need to end abstentions. It hinders the progress of the business of the city," Copenhaver said.
"When you have people abstaining from votes just to make sure there isn't a broken tie, that to me shows a problem with the structure of our government," Joe Bowles said.
"It's a tool that's been used to stop actions that people don't agree with," Andy Cheek said.
But Mayor Copenhaver says constant communication between commissioners is the key to unlocking the gridlock.
"That breakdown in communication helps lead to the gridlock we saw yesterday. I'm already working on that and will continue to work on that in the days and months to come," Copenhaver said.

University Tuition: Balance Funding, Spending
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 9:27 p.m.
It seems odd at first that the University of Florida has taken a stance against a proposal to guarantee state university students that their tuition wouldn't change over four years in school.
After all, UF President Bernie Machen floated the idea initially.
To be fair, Gov. Rick Scott's "Finish in Four" concept is different than the idea that Machen proposed last year. Machen suggested that he would implement such a system if also given the authority to make tuition increases greater than 15 percent.
Now, Scott's opposition to tuition hikes means that even a 15 percent increase is unlikely, although the state House of Representatives has proposed a tuition increase of 6 percent, which would amount to $37 million.
To the governor's credit, he's moved away from backing the budget cuts to universities that he signed into law last year. Scott now supports increased state funding for higher education, including an additional $15 million annually to help the University of Florida become a top 10 university.
At the same time, the Finish in Four plan would cost the university as much as $36 million annually over four years. The only way to make the plan work financially for UF would be making even more substantial tuition hikes than before for each new crop of freshmen.
That would cause sticker shock for parents with more than one child entering the state university system over several years, just the kind of thing that Scott wants to avoid.
The governor's proposal, now part of a bill making its way through the state Senate — and which passed the Senate Education Committee on March 12 — would apply to in-state undergraduates who stay continuously enrolled over four years. The goal is encouraging students to graduate in a timely manner.
It's a laudable goal and one shared by Machen and other University of Florida officials. The university has improved graduation rates in recent years, and now has a four-year graduation rate of 67 percent and a six-year rate of 85 percent, both the best in the state.
Scott is playing the populist card by fighting tuition hikes and has worked to push university funding back up, but the reality is that tuition in Florida's state universities is 41st in the nation, by figures compiled by Florida's State University System.
Holding tight on tuition and improving the standing of top Florida universities are both worthy objectives. The governor, state lawmakers and university officials should work to find a balance between funding and spending to make both possible.

This event doesn't have any prizes! In the future we will implement tracking player kills in a fair way, as prizes for levelling up just encourage players to rush through the game away from the awesome cut-throat combat.
A summary of general Cutthroat rules:
- This is a separate short-duration league that has its own stash (as usual). At the end of the event, characters and stashed items will be moved to Default.
- There's a PvP damage multiplier because players start with a lot more life than they do damage. This multiplier will be adjusted substantially based on feedback from this event and others.
- Players are hostile by default to players who are not in their party.
- You can ctrl+click on the entrance to an area to use the Instance Management screen to manually enter any other player's instance of an area.
- Cut-throat instances can hold a maximum of 12 players.

SANTA CLARA -- Pro Bowl-bound Frank Gore said he's had to become a more patient runner because of the 49ers' read-option and pistol formations behind quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
"Some plays you just don't know if he's going to keep (the ball) or not," Gore said Wednesday. "I've got to be patient and can't hit the hole that fast in the pistol."
Perhaps known best for his vision to find holes, Gore's production has tailed off to 4.01 yards per carry in Kaepernick's six starts after he gained 5.38 per carry in Alex Smith's nine starts. Gore had only six carries for 28 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss at Seattle, and only one carry after the first quarter.
"We do different things with Kap, as far as running the ball," said Gore, who has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for a franchise-record sixth season. He is 65 yards and one touchdown shy of matching last season's total of 1,211 yards and eight touchdowns.
Named to his fourth Pro Bowl, Gore noted that he feels stronger and fresher than a year ago at this time. He has 238 carries this season compared with last year's total of 282.
"It's been a pretty good year. I've played good football," Gore said. "I play hard, I'm consistent, and I help the team get wins."
"I'm a big believer in everything happens for a reason, and I'll come back stronger than ever," said Manningham, who expects to have surgery in a couple of weeks. His 42 receptions are the team's second-most behind Michael Crabtree's 77.
Jenkins, this year's first-round pick, said: "It's been a learning process being on the sideline, and I've been watching Randy (Moss) and Crabtree and everything they do." Kaepernick praised Jenkins' speed and quickness, adding: "You want to get the ball in his hands."
Come the offseason, the Cardinals could be pursuing another quarterback in Smith. Endorsing such a move would be former 49ers offensive lineman Adam Snyder, who joined the Cardinals as a free agent this season.
"The guy's got unbelievable character, and I think he's a leader," Snyder said on a conference call with Bay Area media. "If they have any questions about him, they can come and ask me. ... Alex worked for seven years to get to the position he was in. He was doing his job to win games."
Ricky Jean Francois has filled in since Smith sustained his injury in the third quarter of a win at New England. "He's been my coach the majority of the time, giving me feedback on things I need to focus on more," Jean Francois said of Smith.

Chargers lower some ticket prices, raise others
More Chargers games were blacked out last year than any season since 2004.
After an evaluation of stadium ticket prices, change is coming.
The team has lowered the price of some general tickets and raised those of others, a redistribution designed to minimize blackouts while helping it "remain a viable and competitive team," said Todd Poulsen, senior director of ticket sales and services, in a Friday email to season-ticket holders.
The range in season ticket price changed from between $480 and $900 in 2012 to between $390 and $1,100 in 2013.
One-third of the stadium's general seats went up in price, the first increase to Chargers tickets since 2008. Two-thirds of the seats, or about 45,000, either decreased in cost or stayed the same.
The changes were made in consideration of potential 2013 season-ticket buyers, the goal that the lowered prices at undersold parts of Qualcomm Stadium will boost sales.
"We're trying to rescale the building, so we can make seats that haven't sold as quick more attractive," said Bill Johnston, director of public relations.
He added that the one-third of stadium seats — the "prime seats" in the Field, Press and some Plaza sections — were priced higher to better align with the average cost at NFL games.
"Traditionally, our (prices) have been well below the average in the league, and they still are, even with this increase," Johnston said, referring specifically to prime locations, such as the lower-level, 50-yard line seats.
According to a Sept. 2012 survey by the Team Marketing Report, the average Chargers general ticket price was $80.30 in 2012, 10th highest in the league.
The price of about 10,000 seats in the View level went down.
In 2012, the least expensive season tickets for Chargers games were $480, coming in the Upper View and Family Section. For 2013, they've dropped to as low $390 in certain parts, or $39 for each of the 10 games, including two in the preseason.
Savings are minimal for single-game ticket buyers. The price of the stadium's least expensive single-game ticket decreased from $54 to $52.
All Field-level seats will cost between $1,000 and $1,100 for season tickets. The same price range applies to the areas of the Plaza section located along the length of the field.
Four of eight home games were blacked out in 2012. Nine of the past 18 games not played in prime time have been blacked out since 2010. The Chargers previously had a sellout streak of 48 consecutive games dating back to 2004.
In 2012, San Diego finished 7-9, its third straight season without a playoff berth. It won three of eight home games, the franchise's first losing record at Qualcomm since 2003.
"We all understand that improving the team's performance is the surest way to fill the stadium," Poulsen said in the email. "In addition, over the last several months, we engaged in a comprehensive evaluation of ticket prices to establish a new structure that makes sense for all areas of the stadium, helps minimize the chance of blackouts while helping the Chargers remain a viable and competitive team."
The seat prices of all 31 other NFL teams, as well as different sport and event venues, were part of the study, Poulsen said.
San Diego drew a strong home schedule in 2013. It'll host the Bengals, Colts, Cowboys, Giants, Texans as well the Broncos, Chiefs and Raiders from the AFC West. Half of those teams qualified for the playoffs.
A regular-season schedule with dates has not been released yet. The NFL typically makes that announcement in April.

People have recently been asking me if I'm going to Readercon in a couple weeks, and I've done my best to avoid a definitive answer, not out of coyness, but because I really haven't been sure I could be there. Today, though, I decided all of my hesitating was stupid, and so, yes, I shall be there from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning.
And if, after all of my waffling, Mike Allen will still let me be a part of the Mythic reading, I'll even be reading a few sentences of fiction.

These creative conversation tips are brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Zina Harrington.
Make everyday activities an adventure! -Zina
Kick off great conversations tonight to cement a family tradition of spending time with each other, and establish family habits of communicating face to face–instead of via high-tech gadgets. Try it now, when your kids actually want to share with you! There may be a time in the not so distant future when they are more interested in electronics than one-on-one conversations, so it's worth the effort to ensure that you are setting the right foundation of openness and communications.
Below are 5 types of meaningful conversations the Melissa & Doug's Family Dinner Box of Questions can help you start with your kids today.
There are two ways to play with the Family Dinner Box of Questions. You can hand out a different card to each member of the family. Or you can pick one question and have each family member answer. This is the approach we take at our house.
1. Discuss Family Values & Experiences. A section of the questions help facilitate conversations about family values and experiences. A few example questions include:
-Is it OK to tell a lie to protect someone's feelings?
-What qualities do you look for in a friend?
2. Learn More About Yourself. Many of the questions help your little one reflect and learn more about themselves. A few example questions include:
-Where do your first and last name come from?
-Is there a food or dish that you disliked when you were younger, but you like now?
3. Set Family Goals. There are a variety of goal-oriented questions. They help your child and family discuss both long and short term goals. A few example questions include:
-What's one thing you want to do before the year ends?
-If you could go on a family vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?
4. Plain Old-Fashioned Silliness. The box includes a variety of simple and child-friendly questions too. It is a great way to keep things lighthearted and entertaining. A few examples include:
-Would you rather spend the day with Cupid, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy?
-If you could have a wild animal from anywhere in the world as a pet, which animal would you choose?
5. Learn About Parents & Grandparents. We love doing the Family Dinner Box of Questions when we are eating dinner with Nana & Papa. These questions are a great way to bridge generations. A few example questions include:
-Which teacher or coach has had the most impact on you and why?
-What is your fondest memory of a family summer vacation?
Pop over and check out the entire collection of The Box Girls Party & Family Games.
Note: Don't be fooled by the Box Girl title. While some of the boxes cater specifically to girls, in my opinion, the general sets are perfect for boys as well. There is nothing on the Family Dinner Box of Questions that designates it as "girls only."
Do you have any additional suggestions for keeping the lines of conversation open with your children as they grow older? Let's chat in the comments.

Charges filed in fatal crash
Published: Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
A Gibson man was arrested Thursday night in connection with a May 25 fatal crash, State Police said.
Craig Johnson, 46, of 5672 N. Bayou Black Drive, was driving with Tina Vazquez, 35, of Patterson, in a 2007 Toyota Rav4 on Deadwood Road in Gibson when the vehicle entered a sharp left curve, traveled off the right side of the road and hit a tree about 5:30 a.m., State Police Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.
Vazquez, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown into the windshield, Harrell said. The Terrebonne Parish Coroner's Office pronounced her dead at the scene.
Johnson, who was not wearing a seat belt and had to be extricated from the vehicle by volunteer firefighters, was under the legal limit for alcohol but had drugs in his system, State Police Crime lab toxicology reports indicate, Harrell said. Johnson was transported to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center with what police described as moderate injuries.
He is charged with vehicular homicide and driving in the wrong lane. He is being held in the Terrebonne Parish jail on a $100,000 bond.

Today's episode of Dr. Phil brought the conclusion of the incredibly hyped, two-day Ted Williams familiy trouble/rehab saga. During it, Dr. Phil held a one-on-one intervention of sorts and asked a reluctant and scared Williams to go straight into treatment.
The intervention (or "confrontation," as the show billed it) began with Dr. Phil forcing Williams to admit that he wasn't, in fact, clean and sober, as he'd claimed to be for the past two-and-a-half years. "That's why you do need to go to rehab," said Dr. Phil, before springing his plan—for Williams to fly to Origins Recovery in south Texas immediately following the interview—onto the troubled golden-voiced star. Watch:
While Williams seemed initially OK with the idea of going to rehab, he became more and more reluctant as he realized the immediacy of Dr. Phil's ultimatum, exclaiming, "I feel pressured!" Here's the video:
Things ended on a positive note, however, after Dr. Phil agreed to let Williams take a detour to Columbus, Ohio for a day or two—escorted by the director of the rehabilitation center—before heading into what will hopefully be a period of much-needed recovery and relaxation. Here's the final bit, including a parting hug between the two men:
Godspeed, Teddy.
[Dr. Phil]

Hi everyone, my name is Tammy and I am a 34 year old busy mother of 2. I have never been an athlete and running was definetly something I could never do!! As soon as I'd start running my legs suddenly felt like big heavy tree trunks and could only last a minute at best. I started the C25K last week and was pleasently surprised at how well I did!! Yah for me!! I live in Canada, so running outside at this time of year is impossible unless I want a severe case of frostbite, so treadmill it is. I am starting W2 today and am actually excited about it and looking forward to the challenge. For those of you that are using a treadmill, I am curious as to what speed you are walking/running at?? I suppose I was afraid of pushing myself too hard at first and failing so I have been walking at 3.2 and running at 4mph and figure I can run for speed later on once I get comfortable with this whole 'running' thing. Hope that I will find a lot of motivation here on this site and meet some newbie runners just like me!! Anyone else starting W2 today and would like to buddy up?? Happy holidays everyone!!
You sure can!!! I'm a single mother of one, and when I started getting in shape last year, I could barely walk two miles without getting cramps in my legs. So much for staying in shape with a desk job. I finished my first 5k just this month with an 11 minute per mile pace. Slowly but surely! LOL What is W2?
I think my first attempts at running on the treatmill were about 4 or 4.5 mph - that was about 2.5 years ago - I ran the NYC in just over 4 hours last month ... you can do anything you focus your mind on

Wow!! Way to go with the 5K run...that must have felt great!! W2 is Week 2 of the C25K...here's hoping that I make it to W9!!
Heck yeah you can do it! I've had my doubts and my share of challenges already but I've managed to figure each thing out and move forward. And please don't run for speed. Speed will come later! I currently "run" at a 4.5MPH, walk at 3.5.
Rachael (Rae)-newly single mama to four wild and precious boys
Running my ass off (literally!) one pound at a time. 53lbs to go...
Hi Tammy,
I'm starting W2 tomorrow. W1 was actually enjoyable! I was an all-star athlete in high school then I went to college....need I say more? lol Anyway, I'm getting back into shape with the C25K. I'm also doing weight training on the days I don't run...so far I'm at the gym 6 days a week (whew!). I also run on the treadmill. I started off at 4.5-5.0mph runs but now I'm up to 6.0mph. I have the advantage of having quads that won't quit, my lower body is very muscular. I also increase the inclines to about 3.5 at the last 30 seconds of my runs just to really push myself. I downloaded some podcasts and I've found those are great to keep you going! Good luck! We can all do this!

Just to add another voice to the chorus: Yes, you can!
Like spicegeek, I started running about two years ago. I weighed in around the 245-250 lb range (I'm a 5'8" guy, and I didn't carry it especially well). I completed c25k between the beginning of July and the middle of September 2007, completing my first 5k at the end of September. Since then, I've completed three marathons, a 19.2 mile trail race (including a run up and down a mountain), two half-marathons, a 15k, three 8ks, and a mess of 5ks.
All of that from a guy who couldn't make it to his second floor apartment without getting winded on the stairs.
If I can do it, you can too!
Also: don't worry about the speed. Just go as fast as you can while still being able to talk in short sentences (maybe a half-dozen words or so at a time). Any faster and you probably won't be able to maintain the pace. Any slower and you won't build your fitness as much as you could. When in doubt, though, err on the side of going slower -- you're less likely to get injured or give up. Speed will come with time.

Yep you can definitely do it! I'm 35, single mom, and currently on Week 8. When I started two months ago, Week one was pretty easy because I'm fairly active but Week 2 was a whole other story. Running for 90 seconds was VERY difficult for me and as I read that sentence I just typed it makes me chuckle to myself. I ran for 28 minutes this morning. No one could have convinced me two months ago that I would actually be able to complete the program! It definitely works, just stick to it... the hardest part in my opinion is getting out of bed early to go run! Also, don't push it if you feel like you can go further. The body definitely needs time to adjust to impact of running. So, yep... you can definitely do it... Good luck!!

I, too, am a beginner with my first 5K in mid-January in the Houston Chevron Marathon. I am a Clydesdale runner being 6' and 230lbs and not the fastest horse on the track, I assure you. I rarely run on the treadmill, but when I do, it is at 4mph. That is plenty fast enough to keep my heartrate up and that is my objective. I say run at what speed you are comfortable at not what someone else runs. I am fortunate to live in the deep south where winter runs are perfect running days. But with you living in Canada, you might be on that treadmill quite often. Just find that speed you are comfortable with and bump it up a little each week to progress until the weather improves and you can hit the road again. Happy running!
Pick em up, put em down...repeat until finished!
Wow...thank you all so much for the support, you are all doing fantastic and should be so proud!!! Just a few weeks ago I really didn't think I could even run for 90 seconds without big aches and pains but yesterday went well and am actually looking forward to my run tomorrow (sounds so weird to say that). To actually think that I may someday be able to run even 5 minutes sounds crazy but as long as I stay focused and take it one run at a time I know that I can do this! You are all such an inspiration...thanks!!
One more little piece of advice... I never EVER felt ready to move on to the next week when I reached the end of a week. But I told myself that I would start out on the new week schedule and then revert back if I had some huge problem. And miraculously... I was ALWAYS able to move on and do the next week! Repeat weeks if you have to, but always try to move on first. Your body will surprise you every week, I guarantee it!

So I just finished Week 2 Day 2 of the Couch to 5K...yahoo!! I was really tired today, not because of my run the other day but as a teacher Christmas Concert season is in full swing and it is not as festive as it sounds...so exhausting!! I am especially excited about a friend of mine that I have recruited to do a 5K with me in May so I am very determined to do this and stick with it as it will give me the motivation to keep going and see this thing through!! Thanks so much for all of the advice, and I really appreciate the comment about not underestimating myself...move onto the next week and then go back if I have to, and that's exactly what I am going to do...love you all!!!
I never thought I could run a 5K. I started running on the treadmill in late June. I'd signed myself up for a 5K as a goal for October 2009. I would get up at 5 a.m. run on the treadmill for 30 minutes on my own program that was similar to c25k; every other day. It was tough at first, but that time of the morning is the only time I had to work out, so that I could then get 3 kids ready for school/daycare and off to work. My hubby travels a lot, so I had to tackle this new schedule and activity on my own.
I didn't think I could do it because as a female, I was/am obese at 219 lbs when I started running. I couldn't use the excuse of being post partum because the baby was approaching 1-year-old in October. I have lost 14 lbs from the start until today. I have a lot more to lose, but I am happy with my new, active self. I have a goal to do 1 race per month in 2010. Mostly 5K, but hope to increase to a 10K later in the year. I've also incorporated 30 Day Shred DVD and Pilates and Yoga DVDs for more activity; especially flexibility.
You can read my story here:
I recommend getting through the program and getting yourself to running consecutive minutes, then work on your speed and hills after you've completed the c25k. If you are planning to run a 5K, then after you've completed the program, I would recommend that you run 3.1 miles at least one day a week for your 5K training.
I wish you the best of luck in training.
Hey there! This is my first reply and I am so excited to see others out there working against the odds and pushing themselves to do more, even when the fears seem overwhelming. I have been a runner off and on for years, and have always wanted to run a marathon...this next year will be it. It's cold here too, and my work schedule often throws a wrench in even my best laid plans! I figure the treadmill is better than nothing at this point. And for the aches and pains...I am reading a book called "The Non-runners Marathon book"....I think that's what it's called...at any rate, one of the suggestions that I use is that when you're running and you start to feel a pain or a cramp coming on, rather than fuss about it, welcome it. So now, to my cramp in the right side that comes on, or the tinge of pain in my left knee, "Hello cramp, come run with me.", or "Hello knee pain, come run with me."...it makes me smile and off we go, running together. I don't know why, but it works! Enjoy your running, and keep movin' on!
im right with ya tammy, but i think you can totally do it. i live in a cold climate myself so treadmill is mostly what i got i started running april of 09 at nearly 240lbs im only 5'8" so it was a lot of gerth on me. Today im 160lbs and balancing a full time job with full time school and still hitting the gym, so as hectic as this time of year is just remember to think of your time on the treadmill as your own little moment of zen lol

OAKLAND -- The legal battle GoldieBlox thought it had laid to rest escalated this week when the Beastie Boys sued the Oakland toy company over a copyright dispute after it used the group's song in a video advertisement.
In court documents filed Tuesday at the U.S. District Court in Oakland, the Beastie Boys alleged GoldieBlox committed copyright and trademark infringement when it posted a video on YouTube that featured the group's hit song "Girls" set to alternative lyrics that, unlike the original message of the song, promote girls as intelligent and capable.
The Beastie Boys, a hip-hop group that formed in the 1980s, say in court documents that GoldieBlox used the song with the modified words as an advertising jingle "with the goal of selling the company's toys" and that the video's release last month "coincided with a massive increase in the sales of GoldieBlox's products."
GoldieBlox, created last year by Stanford University graduate Debbie Sterling, includes a construction toy set and storybook starring the tool-wielding female character Goldie, who invents contraptions and tackles engineering challenges. The video that features the Beastie Boys' song follows three bored girls who ditch a TV show about princesses and set to work building a machine as they sing: "Girls to build a spaceship\ Girls to code the new app\ Girls to grow up knowing\ That they can engineer that."
The video vanished from YouTube after initial complaints from the Beastie Boys, and GoldieBlox replaced it with the same advertisement set to a different song. Sterling explained in a blog post that she hadn't known that the late Adam Yauch, one of the groups' founding members, had requested Beastie Boys' songs never be used in advertising.
Daralyn Durie, a lawyer representing GoldieBlox, said on Wednesday that "although the video has been taken down and we would prefer an amicable resolution, we strongly believe that the parody constitutes fair use."
But the Beastie Boys also say that GoldieBlox has a pattern of illegally using songs in advertising campaigns. The group alleges in court documents that GoldieBlox has "engaged in the systematic infringement of intellectual property from numerous popular groups," including the rock band Queen and French electronic group Daft Punk.
GoldieBlox was actually the first to sue, filing in November a declaration of judgment against the Beastie Boys that defended the song as a parody and was therefore fair for them to use. Several attorneys have said that the hip-hop group doesn't have a strong case because GoldieBlox's advertisement is a criticism of the song's message, which is allowed under copyright law. Other legal experts, however, question whether using the song to sell products should be allowed.
"GoldieBlox probably doesn't have the right to use the song," said Jonathan Moskin, a New York-based attorney and intellectual property expert. "They may be commenting on the misogynistic lyrics of the Beastie Boys, but in doing that, clearly their motive is to sell their own toys."

Hello to all!
I am 52 years old, always have been very active in swimming, had to give up running in my 30s.
Former Marine and Martial artists, ran cross country in high school, recreational cyclist.
Started running again about 6 months ago with no knee pain. I was so ecstatic I quickly advanced to 3 milers.
Then the bike and pool called my name for cross training purposes and that's when I discovered Triathlon.
I had no idea it would be so much fun so with a few months of semi-focused training and reading about 5 books ( and a few inspiring audio books by Chris McCormack and Mark Allen) I signed up for my first Tri Ssept 9 2012. I finished but did horribly in the swim. Two weeks later I tried it again and again finished but had some equipment failure. I tweaked my equipment and did my third Triathlon the next week which was last weekend in September and did much better in the swim, did well on the bike considering the course and ran 11 minute miles. These were all Sprint Triathlons. My logic was that if you eventually want to compete at Olympic and 70.3 levels then a Sprint should be a good work out. I also believe in the golf principle, (wanna get better? Play more golf!)
Unfortunately most people I tell this story to don't even believe that I did three triathlons in one month, so my question to the community is, how many per month or per year is the standard. That,I cannot seem to find in any books.
Hey Rodney,welcome to the wonderful world of Tri's!!To answer your question-everyone is different,what works for me might not work for anyone else,the trick is find out what works for you and try to improve.My training for sprints is a lot different than my 70.3's,I try to plan my race schedule in 6 month blocks that might be 3 sprints and a marathon,or an Olympic a couple of half marathons and a sprint or two,I'm 50 and actually getting faster by training smarter,in other words I always have a plan I try not to just wing it,best of luck,Mike
Cape Coral Yacht club sprint 1:03
FGCU sprint 1:03
Columbus Marathon 3:50-2010
Gator Half Ironman 5:43-2009
Venice sprint 1:09/25th overall
Captiva sprint 1:04
I agree, training is different for everyone. I think the first thing you need to decide is what your goals are. If you just enjoy doing sprint races on the weekend as motivation to work out during the week, do as many as makes you happy. If you want to start focusing on getting faster or doing a longer race you will probably want to put together a schedule for yourself. The Triathlete's Training Bible by Joe Friel has 3 chapters about planning your training and race schedule. I'd recommend that as a good place to start.
I agree with everyone else that is is totally subjective. But if it helps, as a middle of the pack 38 year old, in 2012 I did four sprints, an olympic, a half iron, two half marathons, a marathon and assorted other shorter running races. Two of the sprints and the olympic were on three weekends in a row.
I'm a 48 yr old age grouper with 25 years Triathlon racing experience. I like the thumbnail of about no more than 1 triathlon per month in season, but this season I'm doing one Oly and three Half Ironman races so I spaced them out even more: early March, mid July, early Sept and late October. The most frequently I've ever done sprint tri's is 3 weeks apart in season, this allows for best training AND recovery, for me anyway. In past years, I've added in a distance swim race or a century ride in between but ZI count those more as training days than race days.
Good luck this season!
I think it depends on what race you want to peak for and what races you want to basically use as training. I've done a local medium sprint race (Swim .5mi; Bike 16mi; Run 5mi) on a Saturday morning, then an unofficial (by myself) swim of .5mi , run 6mi, bike 18mi, in the afternoon. Then did a 70.3 on Sunday morning, for my own personal weekend Triple-T. I've also done sprints on the last wkend of June, a midweek July 4th race, and then another sprint on the first wkend of July, to make 3 races in an 8-day period, no problem. These true sprints take about 1hr 20min to 1hr 30min, not really a very long intense workout when you think of it.
Have fun and toy around with the sched. There are so many fun races these days, if you only do 3/yr you'll never get to them all. Much like golf courses!!
Hi Rodney,
It's been eight years of tri for me, while keeping up a steady running/ marathon schedule. Agree that for everyone it's an individual approach- but have found the following to be useful:
1. I prefer quality over quantity for races- usually this means signing up for a handful of races that are either in really beautiful places and/ or nice course/ competition. I don't do races every weekend just because I would get bored of them.
2. I stagger my distances- usually going from shorter to longer. So each one becomes a bit more challenging, and I have not thereby incurred an excessive injury risk from a longer race, with a shorter tri following.
3. I have ended up with some "race congestion" so tris 2-3 weeks apart- on different continents (goes back to #1, no I am not a high paid pro) but this is useful because to the extent that racings requires a lot of basic logistical prep- I find it useful to get it all done in a nice coherent block, and then vacation carelessly over the summer.
4.Once you start building up race distances (which is what it sounds like you want to do) scheduling your training because even more fun (read logistical nightmare) so in the process, you might find it preferrable to schedule fewer races or better tailor them to your schedule and whatever non-tri life demands are.
5. Book massages! Very important for avoiding injuries and contributes to overall happiness. I have done this as part of my training schedules (everything from marathons to IMs) and knock on wood 8 years no injuries! Injury avoidance becomes a key theme in training for longer tris. And as mentioned in #4, as you get to longer tris, the shorter sprints probably have less strategic value in your overall training.
Happy racing!

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
no loop, only one call of grep, scrollable ("less is more", more or less...)
Print out the contents of $VARIABLE, six words per line, ignoring any single or double quotes in the text. Useful when $VARIABLE contains a sentence that changes periodically, and may or may not contain quoted text.
This command will find all files recursively containing the phrase entered, represented here by "searchphrase". This particular command searches in all php files, but you could change that to just be html files or just log files etc.
Whenever you compile a new kernel, there are always new modules. The best way to make sure you have the correct modules loaded when you boot is to add all your modules in the modules.autoload file (they will be commented) and uncomment all those modules you need.
Also a good way to keep track of the available modules in your system.
For other distros you may have to change the name of the file to /etc/modprobe.conf
Adapted using your usefull comments !
The command gives size of all files smaller than 1024k, this information, together with disk usage, can help determin file system parameter (e.g. block size) or storage device (e.g. SSD v.s. HDD).
Note if you use awk instead of "cut| dc", you easily breach maximum allowed number of records in awk.
Esse comando procura por arquivos php que que iniciem com '
Use if you have pictures all over the place and you want to copy them to a central location
Find jpg files
translate all file names to lowercase
backup existing, don't overwrite, preserve mode ownership and timestamps
copy to a central location
Today I needed to choose an icon for an app. My simpler way: put all of /usr/share/icons in myicons folder and brows'em with nautilus. Then rm -r 'ed the entire dir.
No problem with word splitting. That should works on many Unix likes.
For those who don't have the symlinks command, you can use readlink. This command is not straightforward because readlink is very picky. The backslash in front of 'ls' means not to use an alias (e.g. color escape codes from an aliased 'ls' could mess up readlink), and the -1 (one) means to print the entries separated by newlines. xargs -l (the letter L) means to process each input separated by newlines as separate commands.
no fancy grep stuff here.
remove files with access time older than a given date.
If you want to remove files with a given modification time replace %A@ with %T@. Use %C@ for the modification time.
The time is expressed in epoc but is easy to use any other format.

Having said all that, probably the most compatible and reliable (if done properly) solution (that still plays retail games) is the Samsung 616 mod, which seems to play darn near everything you throw at it. I only modded one to replace my dead Thomson cheaply, but many use it because it not only can play retail games without chip mods but is also very liberal in the kinds of recordable discs it can play well.

I have a philips drive in my Xbox and thought I was going to have to get a new DVD drive for my Xbox or purchase a new DVD-RW drive because I have a DVD+RW drive and all of the DVD+Rs I tried didnt work. The only media that I got to work with the philips drive was CD-RWs! I gave it one last chance and tried Sony DVD+Rs and it worked. I tried eight other brands and thay didnt work. I hope this can help someone that has the same drive and burner format as me and I hope it can save them some cash because I shelled out some big bucks tring to get this to work.
I think that you just solved my problem bro!! I have a phillips dvd and have been using dvd+R with nothing working. I am going to the store as soon as it opens, Thank You!!

I have got a thomson drive, and the only media I have tried that does not work is Kodak cdrw..
My friend has a samsung, and it does not read TDK CDRW,EMTEC CDRW,EMTEC DVD-R or verbatim cdrw...
The only thing that we get it to read is some cdrw's named something with silver in it's name..
I cant remember the name.

I bought a spindle of cheap dvd's (50 for 32 canadian). To this day, I havn't had a successful burn with any one of the discs. They also claim to be 4x but the max burn speed is 2x!
So I bought a couple of Ritek 4x dics. They work like a charm and burn in 12-15 min.
Slightly more expensive than the per-disc cost of the spindle, however it seems to be a reliable, high quality media.
On a side note, I have a Samsung. My friend also has a samsung, but he can read all my discs flawlessly... whats the deal? Even drives from the same manufacturer can have different reading abilities?

Goncalo Figueiredo, the winningest Islanders men's tennis player of all time, a former team captain and Portuguese Davis Cup Team, serves as associate head coach for men's and women's tennis.
Figueiredo has entered the league of the very best in college recruiting for men and women. Figueiredo has stepped up and added recruiting to his duties for both teams, now sharing the vital duty with Coach Moore. He assists Coach Moore in all aspects of the program for men's and women's tennis, which includes recruiting, player development, purchasing and managing team equipment, planning and running practice, team fitness and conditioning, NCAA paperwork, team budget, team travel-planning and driving, summer camps, fundraising and running the numerous tournaments held the at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
The Islanders were one of only 39 universities in NCAA Division I to have two teams competing in the 2014 Tournament. Both teams earned an automatic bid after clinching the Southland Conference regular season and tournament crowns. In 2013, both the men and women reached the NCAA Division I national rankings in 2013, making Texas A&M - Corpus Christi one of only 34 universities in the nation to have both teams ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Poll at the same time. Coach Figueiredo was a big part of making this success happen.
"I feel Goncalo has put in tireless hours and study to become one of the top recruiters in college tennis," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "His contacts are incredibly strong, both in America and Europe, and he has built strong relationships with some of the best coaches in the world. He is an extremely hard worker and always does his due diligence. Being a great recruiter means never spending less than 20 hours a week on it, and Goncalo is willing to pay that price. He has become an incredible asset to our men's and women's programs.
"Goncalo was one of the most respected players in all of Division I college tennis during his career. He had wins over NCAA Champion Benjamin Becker, who later reached Top 40 in the ATP rankings, and was considered one of the toughest competitors in the country. He also beat Andre Agassi in the U.S. Open in his last career match.
Every coach in college talks about what a great competitor he was and how reliable he was for his team. I feel Goncalo brings those same qualities as a coach, and is a great mentor to our young players on how to compete and play the game at the highest level. He is incredibly intense, but loves the players and is a great teacher of the game."
Figueiredo was ranked one of the top 100 junior players in the world, and competed in World Junior events against Roger Federer, Andy Roddick and Juan Carlos Ferrero. He reached the Top 60 in the NCAA Division I national singles rankings and had five wins against players ranked in the Top 25 nationally.
While coaching the Islanders, Figueiredo has seen the team reach the ITA Top 65 nationally seven years in a row, including No. 32 in Division I in 2007 and No. 35 in 2009. The men's team clinched the Southland Conference regular-season championship in 2014 for the seventh straight year. The Islanders have advanced to the NCAA Tennis Team Championships in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2014.
In 2013, Figueiredo saw the team reach No. 51 in the ITA National Rankings and win the HEB Tournament of Champions, the longest running, and perhaps most prestigious, team tournament in the United States. The Islanders' men team beat two Top 35 teams to win the championship for the first time in program history.
"Goncalo was a great player, and is a tremendous coach, but most importantly, a great person with the highest character that any player could ever wish to play for," Moore added. "He is the type of person that any parent would want their son or daughter to play for."

SAN JOSE -- Google two years ago agreed to cover some of Samsung's potential legal costs as protection against Apple's latest multibillion-dollar patent lawsuit, a rare glimpse into how closely the two companies aligned themselves in the smartphone wars, a federal court jury learned Tuesday.
Apple disclosed emails and letters showing that Google executives agreed to pay some of Samsung's legal costs if it loses its patent fight against Apple. Apple unveiled the evidence to show that Samsung and Google are intertwined. The tactic was meant to undermine Samsung's argument that it has nothing to do with whether Google-based technology integral to its smartphones and tablets violates Apple's patent rights.
Central to Samsung's defense is its argument that Apple should have targeted Google because the patents at issue in the trial are based on Google's technology and its Android operating system, which has run Samsung smartphones and tablets.
But Apple put the previously secret 2012 Google agreements in front of the jury to bolster its position that Google's role is irrelevant because Samsung controls the technology it includes and sells in its own smartphones and tablets.
The evidence surfaced as Apple and Samsung reach the final stage of their epic federal court showdown. The Google indemnity agreements cover two of the five patents Apple has asserted in the trial.
Google representatives could not be reached for comment.
With a few pieces of testimony left to finish Friday, lawyers for the feuding smartphone powers will turn to finalizing a thick packet of instructions for the eight-member jury and head to closing arguments Monday.
On Thursday, Samsung wrapped up its case against Apple, which is accused of violating two of the South Korean tech giant's patents, including one video patent alleged to be involved in the iPhone's FaceTime feature. A Samsung expert told the jury that Apple should pay about $6 million for infringing those patents.
Apple argues that its technology does not infringe any Samsung patents.
Samsung's case against Apple, however, is a sideshow to the four-week trial's main event. Apple has urged the jury to find that Samsung smartphones and tablets violate five software patents in iPhones and iPads, and has asked the jury to award about $2.2 billion in damages.
Samsung disputes infringing those patents, arguing they were for the most part developed by Google as part of its Android operating system. In addition, a Samsung expert has valued the Apple patents at about $38 million, a fraction of the royalties sought by the iPhone maker.
The jury could begin deliberating as soon as Monday afternoon.

What if it's a trick to step into any portal? I don't trust anything except my own two feet planted on terra firma. If I die by CME or comet ELENIN, so be it. Stepping into a portal may be like getting onto a spaceship from aliens trying to save us from disaster. You don't know where you're going. Do you really trust them?
