It was certainly a toss up on what to do this past weekend, but Tim really wanted to race at Barlow. I had been on the road for a week straight (SLC, Seattle, Vegas), so not going to the cabin was an o.k. option, especially since the fire was still burning up there. A great compromise was a great mountain bike ride on Saturday (Falls Creek) with a bunch of friends and then CX on Sunday. I still haven't had enough mountain biking for the year, so Saturday was a nice break from racing and a total blast. Falls Creek out and back is one of my favorites and we hadn't had a chance to ride it all summer, so it was perfect. About 33 miles and almost 5000 feet of climbing. A great warm up for Sunday.
I cheered Tim on through his A race. He decided not to race with the masters and after his endo on the first lap, he crawled back to 15th. A respectable finish and I have never seen so much salt as I did on him after that race. We took a nice ride afterwards and headed to Rogue Brewery to celebrate the last days of indian summer.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Audrey and John Brannon are excited building a home together.
In September, they rented a unit at A-Tech storage on Augusta Tech Road in Augusta.
"[We decided to store] our furnishings, our bed mattresses, sofas sofa sleepers," Brannon said
They thought it was a good decision until they returned to check on their belongings last month.
"Everywhere you go there are dead rats," said Brannon. "Rat feces, mice urine, rat urine. Our furniture eaten up."
The Brannon's said the rodents caused $2,500 in damage. Their rental agreement does not provide insurance coverage, and neither does their personal insurance company. At least not for rats.
"A-Tech storage, they moved everyone that was affected," Brannon said
While its appreciated, the Brannon's feel A-Tech should do more.
"If they could at least reimburse us at least half, or if the owner would at least speak with us and apologize," Brannon said
On Your Side both, called and emailed to see if the company would consider the Brannon's request. We have not heard back yet. On Friday they went to check on what items were not ruined by the rats.
"Everything was fine. No signs of rat droppings or anything," said John Brannon.
"The house is almost finished. In its building process so we will be moving. I just don't want to take any rats with me," Brannon said
The Brannon's said they were told the rodent problem stemmed from food that may have been left in a nearby storage unit.
So what do you do if insurance does not cover for rodents? Find out if the company treats for rodents before you sign any agreement. Even get the name of the exterminator and verify. The easiest way is to just look for rodent stations around the facility.

By D. Susan Rutz
bike, exercise, crash, D. Susan Rutz
Ah, exercise, don't you just love it; fresh air, the countryside, being with your loved ones and burning calories—just like it looks on the commercials. At least that's what I thought. My husband wanted to go bike riding and purchased us matching bikes, his with a bunch of gears, of course mine had no gears just push your pedal backwards to brake. That's the way it was when I was a little girl; of course, that gave me confidence that this was a good idea.
All the odds were against me. I just wasn't paying attention to the signs. I was wrapped up in the excitement of the commercials where the couple goes bike riding with their picnic basket, wine, a leisurely lunch, and then friends join them on the trip; it all looks so wonderful. I also want to state that I was influenced by the old adage, "It's just like riding a bike." That means you never forget how to ride a bike, right?
It's not true! They lie! They find actors who can actually ride a bike, probably use stunt people who don't mind falling off of buildings, and they tricked me into believing I could do it.
It was a beautiful day; the temperature in the seventies, the sun shinning, and the sky was blue with big white puffy clouds, perfect day. I was nervous, but excited and we were just going to ride around the neighborhood to get used to the bikes. No sense packing a basket for a short run around the block-- that would come later. So off we go. I started off a little shaky, but quickly gained confidence in the wheels gliding along the pavement. I remember this, push your feet down, the wheel goes around, no problems. The air felt good hitting my face. I could remember days as a child spent riding and how much fun it was, but that was over fifty years ago. (It hurts to say anything was fifty years ago). Then came the hill.
My husband swears it was a slight incline, but let me assure you, it was a hill with an enormous slope downwards with a curve at the bottom and lots of parked cars. As soon as I topped the hill I was picking up speed. That's when confusion swept across me.
I pushed slowly back on the brakes to slow down a little and suddenly I thought, 'not too hard or you'll fly over the handle-bars'.
I could hear my husband yelling behind me, but I couldn't distinguish what he was saying because I was fighting the growing panic that I was going too fast. The gentle breeze rippling through my hair and stirring childhood memories was quickly becoming a torrent of wind in the face stealing my breath. As I pushed back on the brakes the bike wobbled, naturally I thought I must be pushing too hard, better to go slow at it. The bottom was looming large and the curve looked sharp. I tried to turn the bike but pushing back on the brake, the wobbling wheel, the curve, I wasn't sure what to do.
I thought I'd fly over the handle bars, or crash into the pavement, what should I do? That's when the brilliant idea flooded my mind. I've seen kids get off their bikes. They just step off, the bike falls into the grass and they run up the steps to their house. I've seen that done a million times in movies, on commercials, even in real life. I thought I could do it too. That way I wouldn't fly over the handle bars. I couldn't do it.
My feet got tangled up, (old legs) the bike was going too fast, and that parked car was jumping right into my space—blam! I stepped off the bike at the same time I hit the parked SUV. I fell over the handle bars with my face smashing into the bumper of the parked car, my feet were kind of on the pavement and they drug against the road and my hip hit the curve.
Two people across the street witness this horrific crash and ran from their house to check on me. I was crumpled on the ground with the bike tangled around me, my legs still wrapped in the metal. I got up. I'm still alive. I'm okay, I'm okay. No, I'm not okay. The pain reached my brain. My cheek was the part of my face that smashed into the bumper and now it was throbbing and stinging at the same time. My knee and hip hit the curve about the same time and now were screaming with pain, at the same time. My elbow was bleeding, the palms of my hands were burning from the pressure of holding onto those handle bars and my feet were feeling very odd after dragging along the pavement.
There I was, a crumpled, bleeding mass of an old woman sitting on the curve, crying my eyes out, when my husband pulled up on his bike laughing. What's wrong with men?
"Man, I wish I'd had a camera. That was a $100,000 video if ever there was one!"
The unknown couple who came to my rescue was far more sympathetic to my plight then he was. It must have been terrible for them, sitting in their living room watching TV when they hear some man screaming, "You're going to hit that car!" They look outside just in time to witness an elderly, fat woman, riding a bike straight into a parked car.
The moral of this story is; don't believe the commercials! It's not as much fun as it looks and it's not just like riding a bike.
I limped home, crying most of the way, pushing that stupid bike and glaring hatefully at my husband. He of course, tried to cover his tracks from the previous enjoyment over my mishap by asking me every four steps if I was okay and telling me he was so sorry that I had wrecked.
I'm back home now, sitting in my favorite chair, watching stupid commercials about exercising, with ice packs on my cheek, heating packs on my hip and band-aids on everything else. The bike is sitting out front with a sign on it—For Sale, Cheap.

The right-hander carried a perfect game into the seventh inning and faced the minimum 27 batters in a one-hitter that sent San Diego past the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 on Monday night.
Cashner (10-8) retired his first 18 batters before Jose Tabata grounded a clean single into right field leading off the seventh. Tabata was erased when Andrew McCutchen grounded into an inning-ending double play, and Cashner cruised the rest of the way for his first complete game in 31 career starts.
"I've had some no-hitters broken up before and I think in previous times I've learned to stay with my game plan and keep making pitches," Cashner said.
The Padres, who began play in 1969, remain the only major league franchise without a no-hitter.
The Pirates lost for the second time in eight games but remained tied for the NL Central lead with the St. Louis Cardinals, who were beaten 6-2 at Colorado.
"Cashner was throwing three quality pitches for strikes and, most importantly, he was keeping them all down in the strike zone," Pittsburgh second baseman Neil Walker said. "Sometimes, you have games like this where the other guy just pitches a great game.
Cashner, who has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 11 starts, did not second-guess himself about throwing a sinker to Tabata.
"I didn't want to get beat with my slider there," Cashner said. "I still think it's a great pitch. I still think it's the right pitch. That's the way it goes."
Cashner struck out seven, did not walk a batter and threw 97 pitches. He also scored from second on a single, sliding home with the second run of the game, moments before giving up Tabata's hit.
Though Cashner said he had never scored from second base or slid into home plate as a professional, he did not blame that for losing the no-hitter.
"Scoring that run helped keep me in the game," he said.
Kyle Blanks, Ronny Cedeno and Rene Rivera each had two hits as the Padres won for the ninth time in 13 games. They are 17-3 in their last 20 at PNC Park.
A.J. Burnett (8-11) took a shutout into the seventh but wound up with the loss. He allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings, with three walks and eight strikeouts.
"A.J. pitched a heck of a ballgame himself," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
San Diego broke through for two runs against Burnett in the seventh.
Will Venable hit a sacrifice fly, and Cashner scored on Jedd Gyorko's single to left.
The Padres left runners in scoring position in the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth—but it didn't matter the way Cashner pitched.
"Once you get into the fifth inning, I always think about the possibility of a no-hitter," Padres manager Bud Black said. "The way Cash was throwing, where his pitch count was, the look in his eye—the whole everything was set up for a good game."
NOTES: San Diego closer Huston Street missed the game to attend to a personal matter and is not expected to rejoin the team until Wednesday.

U12s Win East Cork Plate Final
In the East Cork Plate Final hosted in Youghal GAA grounds our U12 girls were victorious against a very strong Cloyne team. Youghal went into this game after beating St. Colmans of Shanagarry in the semi final. On a very poor evening weather wise for any game credit much go to both teams for a very entertaining game of football and to both sets of supporters who came displaying their colours galore. Both teams gave it their all over both halves and at the short whistle the Youghal girls lead 2-0 to 1-2 afte just getting a goal before half time. As expected the Cloyne girls came back to lead with just 10 minutes remaining on a score line of 2-3 to 2-1. With both sets of supporters really getting behind their teams it was nick and tuck with chances going amiss on both sides and it was anyone's game heading into to final minutes. A slick move started by captain and superb full-back on the night, Keilin Coleman, ended up with a late Youghal goal which proved to be the difference between two very evenly matched teams on the night for a Youghal victory on a scoreline of 4-1 to 2-3 It was a great team spirit at the end with Youghal retaining the plate for the second year in a row. The team paraded through the town with honours which is becoming a very welcome tradition for this young club.
The month of July will be a quiet affair on the training ground until August when full steam ahead for championship in September . A big thank you goes out to all parents and supporters for all the help on the evening.

Wang, MH; Shi, W (2012). Sensor Noise Effects of the SWIR Bands on MODIS-Derived Ocean Color Products. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, 50(9), 3280-3292.
AbstractThe results of this study demonstrate the effects of sensor noise in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands on the satellite-derived ocean color products, in particular, normalized water-leaving radiance spectra data. A simple radiance smoothing technique is used for reducing sensor noise equivalent radiance NE Delta L(lambda) (or increasing the sensor signal-to-noise ratio) values for the SWIR radiances measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite. Specifically, a simple 5 x 5 box running mean approach for MODIS-Aqua-measured SWIR radiances has been proposed. We show that the noise errors in MODIS-Aqua-derived ocean color products using the SWIR-based atmospheric correction algorithm are mainly from large noise errors in the MODIS-Aqua-measured SWIR radiances due to their significantly larger sensor NE Delta L(lambda) values. Using the proposed SWIR radiance smoothing method, SWIR-derived ocean color products can be improved with considerably reduced product noise. In addition, a practical method in estimation of the MODIS-Aqua SWIR NE Delta L(lambda) values has been developed. We show that, for future ocean color satellite sensors, it will require NE Delta L(lambda) values of less than similar to 5 x 10(-4) and similar to 9 x 10(-5) mW . cm(-2) . mu m(-1) . sr(-1) for SWIR bands at 1240 and 2130 nm, respectively.

Is it possible for grown men to enjoy both of these things?
Konnichiwa, Mikuites! Even though My Little Pony is not technically an anime––despite its moe pony designs and wide-eyed protagonists––it has caused quite a stir amongst anime fans…almost completely polarizing fans. Some otakus have embraced it, while others have called it the bane of animation. Whatever side you are on, many lessons can be learned from MLP, specifically that a good story can appeal to anyone, no matter the superficial visuals. Perhaps anime fans can relate to this fact better than anyone.
Developer Lauren Faust has said that MLP was made with all genders and age groups in mind, but not even she could've conceived how much it would surge with Internet popularity. Fans claim it's the best thing that has happened to the Internet in a long, long time. And I'd have to agree. Though, I'm not here to talk about how MLP has spread love and tolerance across the world, but rather why it has gained so much popularity with people like you and I, who usually have a penchant for pussy (not the feline kind) as opposed to ponies.
What's unique about MLP in particular is that it seems to appeal to older males mostly. Sure, there are tons of guys out there who like cute anime (take anything produced by KyoAni as your pick), but even they are resistant to succumb to the power of ponies.
Therefore, I have to believe that adult males are at a point in their lives where they are ready to start a family––to have a wife and kids. What does this have to do with liking MLP? Well, one would assume that in order for a man to become a father, he must develop a softer, caring demeanor. Also, older males are more confident with their masculinity, and not afraid of being ostracized for watching a "girly" show. On the other hand, male teens face many social pressures and are perhaps afraid of being judged by their peers for watching a show about bright-colored ponies. A weaker argument, and one that's not necessarily true, is that older men tend to be more mature(d), and therefore interested in the story rather than bloody fights or massive jugs. What I mean to say is that they don't mind the lack of ecchi. In fact, most Bronies say outright on the Internet NOT to make Rule 34 for MLP. Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I looked up just to see what would be considered as Pony Rule 34 (since they obviously have no visible private parts), and most of what I came across was just comical demotivational posters and mild mare-on-mare kissing. So it seems like for the most part the Internet has respected the Bronies' request.
Despite Hasbro being well aware of all the Bronies out there (0:27), for whatever reason, they don't cater much to their peripheral fans––missing out on a potential goldmine––even though they've claimed plans to market to this older demographic in the near future. The ironic thing about their passive marketing strategy is that 90% of their viewership is comprised of adult males. As much as we Bronies love MLP, it's obvious that we hold higher standards for our merchandise than the average elementary school girl. I just wish the products would match the quality of the show. Hopefully Hasbro will pay better attention to our requests once Season 2 starts picking up momentum. It's a win-win situation. Hasbro will dominate with MLP the same way they've gained dominance with Transformers, and Bronies will get a bunch of cool pony products that we won't be ashamed to show off in public.
C'mon, you know you would buy it.
MLP means so much to me because I see it as the start of a revolution. The pony fan base continues to grow larger and larger every month, proving that Friendship is Magic is not just a fad, it's become a whole subculture. Just as blacks earned the same rights as whites, and women began to stand on equal footing with men in the 20th century, it's the year 2011: it's time to tear down all preconceptions that guys can't like girls' shows for what they are, or vise versa. In the future, I hope that everything will become ambiguous, that designing clothes won't be considered a thing for women and football will not just be a "guys' sport". We are not quite there yet, but MLP is a start. So, for any producers out there, don't be lazy by appealing to your target demographic; as they say, "Aim higher."

The Padres are counting on outfielder Milton Bradley to help them win a third consecutive National League West title. General Manager Kevin Towers said he expects Bradley to rejoin the lineup for the team's next game, which, if it doesn't get rained out, will be tonight in Shea Stadium.
When he's healthy, Bradley might be the best player on the Padres. But he had an oblique strain when the Padres acquired him from Oakland, and on Aug. 2, he suffered a hamstring strain. As a result, Bradley has missed 25 of 46 starts since the Padres got him from the Athletics for Triple-A reliever Andrew Brown.
Bradley returned to the lineup on Aug. 3, but he aggravated the injury while attempting to run out a groundball, and since the game on Aug. 3, he hasn't made a start.
Bradley, a good defender in left field, has peformed with a lot of energy, whether coming off the bench or starting. As a hitter, he hasn't appeared rusty even after sitting out. Coming off the oblique injury, he immediately contributed to a win over the Braves. While nursing the hamstring strain, he had an excellent at-bat against Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen, working him for an eight-pitch walk on Aug. 8 in St. Louis.
"Fortunately I'm pretty good at understanding what a pitcher wants to do to me," Bradley said. "And I'm quick enough with my hands to react to the ball in and to go the other way."
Bradley talked of bringing a positive point of view to the entire offense. He said last week that he senses that his fellow Padres hitters have been pressing at times and that maybe when they don't get the results they want, they assign too much blame to themselves. "Sometimes, you've got to give the pitcher credit for throwing well," he said.
Bradley said it will be the lineup as a whole, not one person, that will make it happen for the Padres, who enter the final 39 games trailing first-place Arizona by three-and-a-half games. "You want that balance one through nine," he said, adding that not every hitter will be hot at the same time, "so we have to find other ways to get on base and move runners."
What does Bradley expect to contribute to the offense? "I think I give a consistent at-bat every time I get up and there, and I don't give anything away," he said.
For CEO Sandy Alderson, who has publicly complained about the team's hitting approach, those are welcomed words. But even more welcomed would be a healthy Bradley. The past few weeks have been challenging for Bradley but also Manager Bud Black. The Padres appeared to gamble and lose when they allowed Bradley to pinch-hit on Aug. 8. Just two days later, Black said Bradley was close to returning to the lineup -- but it didn't happen, apparently because Bradley suffered what Black termed a minor setback after performing agility drills to determine if he was ready.
In retrospect, Bradley and the Padres may have been better off using the disabled list after the setback on Aug. 3. For the most part, Bradley hasn't been available to start or even bat as a pinch-hitter since that injury. The uncertainty reduced Black's options, no small thing for a team whose depth already was suspect.

The report, the result of an outside investigation, documents instances of poor communication, bad planning, failure to meet department policy and disregard for standard safety measures on the day widely described as the darkest in department history.
It describes a chaotic scene, with no command post or clear lines of authority, as 115 police units gathered in East Oakland after two motorcycle officers were fatally shot by 26-year-old parolee Lovelle Mixon.
The report concluded that the decision to send SWAT officers into the apartment where Mixon hid was "problematic from its inception" and suggests that police Lt. Chris Mufarreh, who had assumed control of the situation, did not gather "routine intelligence" before officers entered the apartment at 2755 74th Ave. It also faults Capt. Rick Orozco and Deputy Chief David Kozicki for giving the OK to send in SWAT officers.
"Every alternative to dynamic entry was disregarded," the report said, adding, "The alternatives were dismissed with little or no discussion among the team members and command personnel."
Mufarreh and Orozco were informed Wednesday of the department's intentions to demote each of them two ranks, Bay Area News Group learned.
"I think any discipline of these guys is outrageous," said Michael Rains, attorney for Mufarreh and Orozco. "I don't quarrel with the department's desire to do a thorough and complete investigation, but rather than say we need to learn from what happened, they are saying we need to discipline."
Fatally shot March 21 were motorcycle Officer John Hege, 41, of Concord; Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40, of Tracy; and SWAT Sgts. Erv Romans, 43, of Danville; and Daniel Sakai, 35, of Castro Valley. Mixon was killed by police after they raided the apartment.
"We will build on what we did well and correct those areas we were flawed in," police Chief Anthony Batts said. "We will grow as a department from this."
The report was commissioned last spring by then acting Chief Howard Jordan. A board that conducted the investigation was made up of five outside law-enforcement experts, and the report was authored by James K. "Chips" Stewart, a police consultant and former Oakland police captain.
The report offers nearly 40 recommendations, from providing training on how to set up a proper command post to re-evaluating how SWAT team leaders and tactical commanders are chosen.
The report highlights some of what went right that day, including Lt. Drennon Lindsey and Lt. Ersie Joyner III's work to identify information about where Mixon was located. Sgt. Pat Gonzales also was highlighted for continuing his pursuit of Mixon even after he had been shot in the shoulder.
Officers in the apartment showed restraint, the report said, when they held fire when Mixon's sister unexpectedly started screaming and burst out of an apartment bathroom.
Among the report's findings on what went wrong:
"The (board) recognizes the stresses officers are under when being attacked and shot at," the report said. "However, bravery and courage under fire cannot ever be an acceptable substitute for sound procedures and officer safety."
The report's release, intentionally delayed until after the holidays, brought back the nightmarish day for the department and for the families of the fallen officers, who were briefed on the report before it was released publicly.
John S. Hege, Officer Hege's father, said he felt the report treated his son fairly and added that he was impressed by its thoroughness and the fact that it was done outside the Police Department.
"I don't feel like there's anything more that I personally need to do," Hege said. "I'm sure the Police Department will respond to the report in a way that will improve the department."

Sunrise festivals highlights architectural inspiration
The engineering feats of ancient Egypt are something to behold and few are more spectacular than the 3,000 year-old temple at Abu Simbel, built by Ramses the Great.
Egypt"s pharaohs were not known for their modesty and Ramses the Great was perhaps the most egotistical of all. He commissioned the temple at Abu Simbel to be so aligned that the inner sanctum of the temple would only be illuminated by sunlight twice a year: once on his birthday and once on the anniversary of his accession to power.
As if this wasn"t a sufficient demonstration of the skill of ancient Egyptian architects, the statue of the god of darkness Ptah is so positioned as to be left in the shade during the illumination.
The Abu Simbel Festival sees thousands of people gather in and around the temple at sunrise to see this incredible congregation of natural beauty, human precision and royal pomposity, before joining in the celebrations that take place throughout the event.
Were he alive today, Ramses himself might be more than a little dismayed in seeing that the temple has been moved from its original site after the area was flooded to make way the waters of Lake Nasser, meaning the sun now works its unique magic over the temple slightly later in the day than in ancient times.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy Is Possible
Feb. 12, 2004 -- Lisa Solarz remembers feeling completely numb two years ago when told she would have to have her breast removed. Diagnosed with breast cancer, the Ohio child services official assumed she was a candidate for a breast-sparing lumpectomy, but her cancer had spread too far.
"It was all pretty overwhelming," she tells WebMD. "I was 39 at the time, with no history of breast cancer in my family. It was a lot to take in."
Luckily, her doctors were able to reconstruct her breast with both its original skin and nipple, in a procedure pioneered by Cleveland Clinic surgeon Joseph P. Crowe, MD. Solarz, who today refers to herself not as a breast cancer patient but as a survivor, says she is thrilled with the results.
A Viable Option for Some ...
The most commonly performed reconstruction surgery following total mastectomy involves taking tissue from the abdominal area to remake the breast. Surgery that spares the skin surrounding the removed breast is a relatively new option, but the nipple and areola are almost always removed with the breast tissue because of concerns that they could harbor stray cancer cells.
Crowe says nipple-saving surgery is a viable option for a select group of mastectomy patients, and he reports on his experience performing such surgeries in the Feb. 9 issue of the journal Archives of Surgery.
The surgery involves virtually hollowing out the nipple area, examining remaining tissue for evidence of cancer at the time of surgery, and immediately reconstructing the tissue back to the skin of the breast. Women who have small tumors, and those who chose total mastectomy to lower their risk of developing future tumors, may be good candidates for the procedure.
Of the 48 nipple-sparing mastectomies Crowe performed with colleagues between late 2001 and mid 2003, 45 were successful, resulting in a viable tissue when there was an immediate reconstruction of the nipple and areola. In the remaining three cases, blood flow problems resulted in tissue death and in the partial loss of the nipple-areola.
Patients ranged from age 29 to 72, with the mean age being 43 years. Most of the women in the study had small tumors. A few did not have cancer at all but were having their breasts removed because they had a strong family history of breast cancer.

After spotting this video of Scott asking Mila to be his date at his Marine Ball in November, Justin
nagged encouraged his Friends With Benefits costar to take the gent up on his offer:
So we weren't too surprised to hear that Justin recently received his own invitation to the formal. Celebritology reports that Corporal Kelsey De Santis took to YouTube to ask JT if he'd accompany her to the Marine Ball:
Even though Justin may or may not be back together with Jessica Biel, we're hoping he takes his own advice and heads to the dance with Kelsey on his arm.

"It was really a family atmosphere," she said. "I could sit in my teacher's office and discuss anything, and we would work it out together."
Breaux, who completed her GED in 2005, received a Certificate of General Studies at the ceremony held Thursday night in the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center for a graduating class of 192 students. It was the school's 10th commencement exercise.
State Rep. Gordon Dove, R-Houma, gave the commencement address.
He stressed the importance of community college and technical education, recalling how the drafting classes he took years ago shaped him.
"There is nothing more satisfying than learning something that is useful," he said, adding that graduates should not let life's obstacles discourage them. "The world is yours. You got to grab it and never let go. You'll have good times and hard times."
Breaux said at first she felt apprehensive about going back to school. When she walked into Fletcher, though, her concerns vanished. She said the faculty and staff made the transition back to the classroom a smooth one.
"I thought it was going to be a shock, but it was really easy," she said. "I was surprised about how much effort they put into it."
Breaux said she was inspired by many of her fellow graduates, many of whom were returning to school after a long absence.
One such classmate was Robin Ann Boquet, who won the Outstanding Student Award. Boquet enrolled at Fletcher after years of working full-time and raising her child. She graduated with an Associate of Applied Science degree and 4.0 grade point average.

No, but I'm sure he'll post anyway.
I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

koslanski replied to lasse1955's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsThanks for your reply, my problem does not seem to be stuck gear actuators, as they can move easily within their constraints, but the clutch actuator/TCU might be another problem. I took it out, checked for any loose connections, did a bit of soldering, put it all back together, bled the actuator and the car does not start now at all. But when ignition is on, it seems to find gears and change them properly. I was joking with my friend, we will probably be the only or some of the very few people who have actually opened the clutch actuator unit :) Maybe sounds like too much of DIY stuff going on, but anyway, after all this I guess I will still have to go to dealer and get something serious done to the car in order to drive it again. But now I can vouch for the mechanical part of it, it might only be something in the electronics, if the ECU or TCU has got errors in it, then I have no way of solving that in my driveway :). Anyway, I will let you know what I ended up doing to make it work.
koslanski replied to lasse1955's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHi guys, I have similar problem as above with fiesta durashift automatic, it does not start at the moment, the gears seemed to be changing ok when it was driving, but it had moments when it would not start, then after some time it starts and drives well until next time. A couple of days ago it started ok, took off with the first gear but then it was only reving but not pulling. I had to tow it home and after coming across this forum decided to do the same adjustment to shift actuator as described in the above posts. I thought that would solve my problem, but to my disappointment, the rack was not stuck and the plastic housing was smooth so the rack was able to slide normally. After I assembled everything again, it started to my surprise, and I drove a few miles with it, gears changing nicely, and then suddenly it got stuck on the second gear and was not pulling anymore, only revving, and it was not possible to put it into any gear after that. It hasn't started since, and I am not sure what the problem could be. The gearbox shaft, that is going into shift actuator, seems to have a mind of its own, its moving up and down when the ignition is on, maybe that is normal, I don't know. Maybe some of you had similar problems and could drop me a hint what to do in this situation. I had it put on diagnostics, I got some codes about solenoid and incorrect data from the ecu. It is probably down to electronics more than mechanics I guess, but maybe some of you have some thoughts about it, I would greatly appreciate if you could share them here. Thank you.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The price of oil rose above $94 per barrel Monday as positive U.S. economic data added to optimism for a rate cut in Europe.
Benchmark crude for June delivery gained $1.50 to finish at $94.50 a barrel in New York. Oil hadn't finished above $94 since April 10.
The U.S. government said Americans spent more in March as their incomes went up. And pending home sales hit their highest level in three years. Traders also think the European Central Bank will cut its benchmark interest rate from the current record low of 0.75 percent to 0.50 percent, in a further attempt to turn around the economy there.
A weaker dollar also helped boost oil prices by making crude priced in dollars cheaper for traders using other currencies. On Monday, the euro was up to $1.3100 from $1.3065 late Friday in New York.
Brent crude, which is used to price oil from the North Sea used by many U.S. refiners, rose 65 cents to end at $103.81 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Wholesale gasoline was up almost a cent to finish at $2.83 a gallon.
— Heating oil was flat at $2.90 a gallon.
— Natural gas added 17 cents to end at $4.39 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac Theme of Courage
Courage is one of the most important characteristics of Cyrano de Bergerac's worthy hero. Cyrano's courage is almost reckless tomfoolery and his showy bravery often invites the jealousy of others. Conversely, cowardice is a mark of an unworthy man in this play—often one of the antagonists. In keeping with the chivalric traditions of the time period (17th-century France), duels are fought and lives are lost all in the name of courage.
Questions About Courage
- How does Christian show both physical and emotional bravery?
- Cyrano's concept of courage is complex. What does he consider true courage? Does he fight only to win? How does this idea affect his lifestyle?
- Why do the Gascoyne cadets despise Comte de Guiche even though he is a Gascon? Why do they consider him a coward? How do their opinions of him change?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Christian shows more courage than Cyrano by wearing his heart on his sleeve and never trying to deny or fake his feelings.
Cyrano de Bergerac presents courage in an exclusively masculine realm; only the play's male characters show courage.

The FiveFingers Question: Is Barefoot Running Any Good?
Private shoe manufacturer Vibram USA got into hot water for its marketing claims that its distinctive FiveFingers shoes strengthen feet and prevent common running injuries.
The company has proposed a $3.75 million settlement of a class-action suit that it allegedly profited on the unsubstantiated claims. The settlement is pending court approval. But Vibram CEO Mike Gionfriddo continues to "expressly deny the allegations in the suit."
Which raises the question: is barefoot or minimally shod running actually better for you? The answer: TBD.
Dan Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard who researches running, said there is still a dearth of knowledge on the topic, but that form should trump footwear.
"How you run is more important than what is on your feet," Mr. Lieberman said. "Good running form can happen both ways, you can run poorly barefoot, and extremely well in a shoe."
General tips for good form, he said, include maintaining a cadence of between 170-180 steps per minute and landing relatively flat-footed, said Mr. Lieberman, who is a guest co-editor of a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Sports and Health Science devoted to studies on barefoot and minimalist style running. The studies still don't reach consensus.
(Mr. Lieberman also served as a consultant to Vibram, according to court documents in the Vibram case. Mr. Lieberman disputes that he was a consultant for the company, but said Vibram gave a gift to Harvard's lab to fund research on barefoot running, adding that the lab did not test Vibram shoes.)
Peter Larson, an evolutionary biologist and who reviews shoes for his running blog, said he tried a pair of Vibram shoes after reading Christopher McDougall's bestseller "Born to Run," which is widely credited for popularizing the fad. Mr. Larson wasn't a convert, saying he prefers shoes with some cushioning.
Mr. Larson, who is authoring one of the studies for the special issue of the Journal of Sports and Health Science, said much of his experience boils down to a single piece of advice. "The big thing is, find what works for you," he said. "It's not a satisfying answer, but I like to advocate for people using a rotation of shoes."
Mr. McDougall, the author of "Born to Run," said he frequently gets messages from readers saying they bought minimalist shoes after reading his book. In his mind, that misses the point he was trying to make: that runners should find their own rhythm. "When did I ever say, 'buy shoes'?" he said. "Never."

Is it reasonable for any kind of DPS spec to be able survive most encounters if the player know what they are doing?
I mean most pure damage builds out there right now have some degree of survivability, like thieves stealth(toughy subject) and evades, guardians block & regen abilities, even a warriors can have high damage with it's health and armour,
How do people actually feel about this? Should these builds have what it have, and when use well be able to say alive for as long as they play better than others?
Or should these build be nothing but single minded, only useful for doing it's damage, and if it fails then your pretty much dead?
From what I've been reading lately on these forum, a lot of people expect the latter.
