Okay so I didn't follow the training schedule as written this week. But I did it with the best intentions. Knowing that Sunday was scheduled as a rest day, I rearranged my workouts so I could fit in a pre-scheduled cross training. My wife is a youth director and needed my help in chaperoning a group trip to the local ice rink for an outing. I thought I could get in a lot of work with some laps on the ice. But I didn't take into account that this area is still feeling the effects of a Winter Olympics hangover...and for good reason. Our local rink has seen a sharp increase in people wanting to learn how to skate and what better place to learn from some of the best, because the rink is the training home to 2 figure skating pairs teams. The teams of Caydee Denney/Jeremy Barrett and Amanda Evora/Mark Ladwig shocked the figure skating world in taking the top 2 spots at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and went on to represent the U.S. at the Vancouver Olympics.
With all of their success, it's great to see such an interest in people looking to get active. There were lots of little kids out their trying their hardest to follow in the footsteps of these Olympians. A lot of little girls crowded around the middle of the ice trying to master the artistic spins. But more often than not, the triple lutz looked more like the triple clutz! And then there were the boys, in their brand new hockey skates. Watching some of them was like watching the misfits in The Mighty Ducks movies.
Because their were so many people on the ice, it was difficult to call my time on the ice a "workout." I thought I could get a really good cardio workout in but the pace of the crowd was very slow. I would venture to say that I could have gone faster sitting in a tube floating down a lazy river! When I did see some open ice I wanted to just break free from the crowd, but I would just end up catching up to the back of the crowd. And worst of all, I now have some small blisters from the skates I wore. Going into this week's runs, I'm really apprehensive as I don't know how these blisters are going to impact my efforts.
This week has been challenging to say the least. I am happy to say I am down to 235! 20 lbs down and 35 to go. My pants are getting baggy. I am liking that. To think, a little over a year ago I had to purchase size 42 jeans. Now my 36's are baggy. Since I started thid challenge. I have been able to tighten my belt 2 more notches. No that my "I love me moment" is done, I am about to call it a night. But I want to share this with everyone,
Everyday is beautiful; some are dreary and others are pretty,
I love them all and you would to if you where me.
To see that wonderful sunrise brings a smile to my heart,
Reminding everyday; it's a brand new start.
Then to see the marvelous sunset in the west,
It is there reminding us all that we are truly blessed.
To realize that I took so much for granted makes me want to cry,
I am so thankful that I did not die.
So many people do not get the same opportunity,
That is why I need to be the best person that I can be.
It does not matter what it is; everything happens for a reason,
Unexplainable events will happen everyday and there will be a lot more to come.
Some are to never be figured out; just because you can't does not mean that you are dumb.
Take a second and admire the world around you and be thankful you are still here.
Make it a habit, day after day, year after year
I wrote this after my accident and three week coma. I sometimes lose sight of the little things and forget how fortunate I am just to be where I am. I hope everyone has a good night!
Ok, so I am borrowing this idea from my 5 year old, who is in her first year of girl scouts. I'm sure you have all been hit up at some point in your life to purchase girl scout cookies.How can you say no to the thin mints or the tag-a longs?? Well my daughter Eloise came home from her scout meeting a few weeks ago, all fired up to get out and SELL SELL SELL! You see, the troop had set a goal, that if EACH girl sold at least 120 boxes of cookies, then the whole troop was going to get this big pizza party. Well everyone wanted to sell the 120 boxes, because if the troop didn't get the party and it was because of YOU, everyone would be mad. And no one wanted to be "that kid" that made the troop not get the party.
BUT, in addition to the goal that the troop had, each girl was asked to set her OWN personal goal, and was given a list of "prizes" that they earned, as they reached the next cookie sale level. For example, sell at least 12 boxes, get a patch. Sell 50 boxes, get a bandana. Sell 100 boxes, get this statue of a panda. Sell 125 boxes, get a t-shirt. Sell 150 boxes, get a stuffed panda bear, sell 200 boxes, get a t-shirt for the stuffed panda, that matches the one that you earned! And it went on and on, all the way up to 1000+ boxes, where you could get digital cameras and even an i-pod!. So, the more you sold, the more rewards you got. You had the pressure of meeting your own personal goals, and also the troops. Bottom line= work hard, get rewards!
So, I thought, why not try to incorporate this into the "getting active" program that I am embarking on. Ok, so I don't have a "troop", but I have a "team". Maybe there is something we can do if we all meet our challenges? I realize we all live in different states, so maybe we need to get creative here. Maybe everyone email me a picture of themselves at the finish line of their race, and I photoshop them , and put all of us together in one " Team photo" that everyone can get framed?? Ok, open to suggestions here.....
Alright, but what about my personal goals and rewards. The idea is to make sure the goal is achievable, and the reward appropriate. (no, I don't want a pizza party, a patch or even a stuffed animal!)
Here is what I came up with, breaking the 8 week training program into four 2-week segments.
Finish the first two weeks, never skipping a training day, never forgetting to fill out the log, never forgetting to blog, encourage my team mates, and lose at least 1-2 pounds. Reward= go get a pedicure! (cause my feet gotta be getting sore, right?)
Finish the second two weeks, (same requirements about not missing a day, etc), lose at least an additional 2 pounds. Reward= Get a massage! ( by now, my whole body would enjoy this, not just the feet!)
Finish the third two weeks, (same requirements as above), lose at least another 2 pounds. Reward = I'm thinking a new pair of jeans! You never know, I might be down by 10 pounds by now, and getting a pair of jeans in a smaller size would be AWESOME!
Finish the final two weeks of the 8 week program- are you kidding me? The reward is that I am going to cross that finish line, with a big smile on my face. AND I think we get a T-SHIRT along with our entry!
And to top it all off, when I reach my final goal for my weight loss, I'm going to buy myself a BATHING SUIT!!!!!!! Can you believe it!!
So, I challenge you all to join me, keep pushing yourself, set goals, and reward yourself for meeting and exceeding them. YOU CAN DO IT!!
p.s. in case you were wondering, my daughter was tied with the troop leaders daughter as the TOP SELLER for cookies, the troop exceeded their goal, and they get the pizza party! Lots of happy 5 years olds!
Wow, this week flew by! But, I have been feeling great and keeping on track. Little by little, I know I'll get there! I'm down 8 pounds (wish it was more), but I'll take it! I just keep telling myself Baby Steps. This time NO going back. It always amazes me how great it feels when we exercise, and yet so hard to get out and do it at times! It just feels good and keeps me all 'balanced'. So, between two softball teams, being the coach, Dance, Piano, school activities, church activities, preschool, and just being a mom and wife I think keeping it all together fits my blog post today!
I do find at times that I need a little extra motivation for ME. I have to remember to keep 'me' at the top of the to-do list. Like the saying goes..'when momma's happy, everyone's happy!' And who doesn't love a Happy Family!! So, keep on pushing through those tough days. I am so glad for this opportunity, it has been good for me!
Life may not be the dance we hoped for,
but while we're here, we might as well Dance!
I chose this blog title because one of my goals for pursuing running is to be a great example to my children. They are not as active as I was a child, playing outdoors, riding bikes and such. Now they'd sit on a computer all day if they had the chance. Since I've started training, my youngest has caught on to the idea and wants to run with me!! I'm so thrilled that he is seeing how important it is to me and that he is taking initiative to be more active as well! His personal goal is to speed walk on our treadmill for 20 min every day! I also visited a new 24 Hour Fitness that just opened in Issaquah, WA. I found out that he can get gynm membership when he turns 12. I don't think he ever thought about going to the gym. That was always something that mommy did. He was so excited at that idea!
As far as training this week, I've worked quite a few graveyard shifts and have been utterly exhausted. I ran on Monday, and then again today (Thursday). I'm going to try a new strategy and workout when I get home at 8am. I'm hoping that will give me more energy to stay awake for a bit longer so I can get through the homeschooling lessons with my son. I'll let you know how that goes. I've had to be very creative with my time to manage this crazy schedule, but it's all so important to me. In the past, exercise would've been the first to go. But now it's a priority in my week! Running is my way of loving myself! (Even though the motivation can be hard some days!!)
Keep Active. Love yourself. Inspire others!
Hey guys...tough week here in San Diego. This past weekend a local 17 year old girl went on a trail run in broad daylight and was raped and killed by a registered sex offender a half mile from her car. Kind of tough to get out and run by yourself with that fresh in your mind. I just want to take this opportunity to remind all of you to please be safe. Walk/run with a friend if you can, take your cell phone with you, let folks know where you're going and when you expect to be back. I run/walk with my keys in my hand to use as a weapon if I need to. Keep aware of your surroundings if you're like me and run with an iPod on. Don't have it so loud where you block out who and what is around you. Okay, enough of me being your mom. Let's be safe out there.
Whew. Shake it off.
So, with that in my mind, I still have gotten out and done my workouts but have also supplemented with workout DVDs. Did a little Tae bo (oh! old school!), a little "The Firm". Good stuff and keeps working out fun. Something different all the time....perhaps I have exercise ADD? I used to paddle with an outrigger canoe team but took the last year off to deal with stuff and am now wanting to get back to it. Every chance I get, it rains. Shouldn't be a big deal but the water from where we put our boats in the water gets really polluted from the storm drains every time it rains and it's not something you want to fool with if you can help it. So, fingers crossed for no rain, I'm hoping to get out with my old team on Saturday and paddle. I'll let you know how it goes. When I was paddling with them, my husband and I ended the season with a trip to Hawaii and paddled an 18 mile race. That 's what I think about when exercise gets tough, boring, etc. "You paddled 18 miles before, you can get through this."
My diet this week has been much improved. I've totally skipped my 2:30 candy break. I've brought oranges to eat instead, I've eaten my lunch later to put off that 2:30 hunger. It's worked. My other Danger Zone (no TopGun music please) is evenings. I tend to graze at night so I've tried to be more concious of that and have a Skinny Cow ice cream after dinner and leave it at that.
Sorry for the ramblings guys...I'll be in a much sunnier place next week, promise!
Hey guys!
I hope everyone is doing well and keeping up their hard work. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for a rest day. I am exhausted, but am very grateful for the results I have been seeing. I ran/walked last night and made a healthy vegan dinner for myself and my newly vegetarian friend( he started before I did so I have to give him props). Tomorrow I am going on a 5 mile hike after work at the park by my house. It should be fun and I dont think the trail will be difficult. I'm looking foreward to being outside. I am NOT a snow bunny.
I am need of some groovy new tunes. I am looking for stuff that is upbeat, fast temp-ode and or has a great beat. If anyone would mind sharing their ideas it would be deeply appreciated. But for now I am going to push my boys in the double stroller down to the park. Now that's a fun workout!! I hope everyone is "kickin like a chickin" today. The weahter is awesome hear in Houston today by the way!
Peace out rabbits!
This has not been a good week so far. I have a crazy sinus infection that has laid me on the couch and caused lots of problems. Who knew you could get light headed and dizzy from blowing your nose. Yeap, it is true, This is when being a stay at home mom is terrible. I'm sick and my little guy wants to play. I try, but can only do so much!! Needless to say, I haven't been to the gym or worked out since Saturday. Saturday, I walked for hours with friends shopping. When your shopping you don't realize how much you walk. I'll stop complaining. I'm headed to the doctor today and hopefully in 24 hours; I'll be back to my energetic self.
Taco Soup Recipe: (I had a request)

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch mix
3-4 cans of water
Brown meat with the onion and fat drained off. Add the following ingredients and bring to a bowl. Serve and enjoy!!! Very hearty and yummy!!
So last night I sat down on my bed and glared at my treadmill for a full five minutes. I knew I needed to workout, but I wanted to go out drinking with my friends, or do my laundry, or read book, or really anything else. So I was mad at the treadmill who is only trying to serve its purpose and help me. I did get on it and use it and felt good about myself after. For me personally the hardest part of working out is putting on my work out clothes and stepping outside or onto the treadmill. I have never gotten on a treadmill and not used it. Remember GI Joe's saying "knowing is half the battle" I feel like for me getting dressed is half the battle. If I can just mentally get myself in the game I will work out.
Just a note the vegan thing is going great. I cheated Monday at lunch and had wild caught alaskan salmon added to my salad I don't feel bad about that at all.
Today was glorious! It was a balmy 36 degrees here in Chicago, the sun was shining, and I decided I was not going to work out in my dark dreary basement today. I said "hasta la vista" to my treadmill and the same four walls I had been staring at for the last few weeks, and headed to the great out doors. Most of the sidewalks and bike paths in my neighborhood have not been shoveled yet, but at least the street were plowed, for the most part. I sure wish I had seen Coach Jenny's video about dressing approriately for cold weather l BEFORE I headed out. I was WAY OVERDRESSED! I had on a t-shirt, a thick hooded sweatshirt, my heavy winter ski coat, complete with winter hat and gloves. I was SO HOT after about 5 minutes, and had no where to toss the extra layers, so I just unzipped my jacket a little bit, and then stuffed my gloves in my pocket.
I brought a timer with me, so I could keep track of my training time. I decided I would try to incorporate a little bit of jogging to the training. The program I tried was a 30 minute segment, which consisted of a 7 minute jog, a 3 minute walk, another 7 minute jog, and a 3 minute walk, and a final 7 minute jog and 3 minute walk. I was so excited that I was able to complete the program! So all together, its like I jogged for 21 minutes!!
After I got home, I took the car out, and re-traced my path to figure out my distance. It was 2.3 miles! I logged into the active.com site to use the tools to calculate my pace. It said it was a 13 minute mile! I was so excited! Yes, I realize this is a pretty slow pace, but for me personally, it is an accomplishment. Just a few weeks ago, I was a coach pototato. Today I was actually jogging! I felt so good afterwards. I was really proud of myself. And I am looking forward to tomorrow. I hope the sun will be shining again, hoping to be outside again. What a difference it makes to be outside ! The fresh air, the slight chill. Something about it just improved my whole mood. I just felt healthier!
So, here we are in week two ALREADY!!! I seriously can't believe it. My week one started out on an ok note...I was extremely disappointed to find that my endurance isn't even close to what I thought it was. I could only run for 1 minute at a time with walking time in between!! AHHH! How am I ever supposed to run a 6K in 8 weeks if I can't even run 1K? Then my daughter started running a fever...no biggie I told myself- that is until the next day when it still hadn't gone down (thankfully it was a low grade fever) so off to the pediatrician we go to find out she has Rotavirus. WHAT? My child has not been sick in all her 18 months with the exception of allergies! So there went another 3 days. I was able to sneak in some workouts and was pleased when come Saturday I was able to run for 2 minutes at a time before I had to start walking. So, there was some improvement in that department. NOW- the eating did not go so well last week. I've been using the fitday tool and it's been fantastic when I remember to put everything in it. I've been noticing that some days I'm eating more calories than I need to even maintain my weight, but some days I can't even fathom eating all the calories I need to eat to get to my goal weight! Can this be true? I would love some advice from anyone out there on the types of foods I should be eating! Thanks in advance!
So, goals for week two are to really watch what I eat, drink more water and up my minutes of running at one time! I'm proud to day that I was able to run 5 minutes at a time and I didn't feel like I was about to die last night! Tonight, for cross training, it was the stationary bike...I'm not really sure how I feel about it so far. I guess I'll be able to tell more in the morning. So, week two is off to a pretty good start....now if I can only get the weather to cooperate. I live on the coast of Alabama, it really is not supposed to be this cold in March. We should not be having snow threats!!! Doesn't Mother Nature realize this??? I hope everyone has a fabulous week!
I got on the scale this morning, and was so excited! From last week to this week, I was down 15 pounds! "Are you kidding me?" I thought, as I looked at the scale in utter amazement!. I stepped off, and stepped back on. Now I was down 30 pounds!! What the heck?? Then the realization set in.... Yes, it was kidding me. It didn't take long to figure out that the battery needed to be replaced in my scale. What a bummer! After swapping out a new 9 volt for the old one, I stepped on the scale one final time. The accurate weight loss from last week to this week was a mere one lonely pound. ONE! Thats it?? That stupid scale. Way to build up my hopes then just tear them to pieces! I wanted to throw that darn thing right out the window!
Not to be too discouraged, I remembered that "muscle weighs more than fat", so maybe I had built up a lot of muscle, and thats why it only showed a one pound loss. At least that the story I'm sticking with.
Hey everyone,
So I decided that every Monday is going to be the day that I check my weight. I want to see if I am losing weight or if I am gaining weight. This week I weighed in and realized I lost one pound. I was super happy with my results.I want to lose one to two pounds a week. I am going to check my inches lost in about three weeks (about half way). I decided this past Friday to work out and work hard on my legs. I manage to get my legs so sore that I was not able to walk on Saturday and Sunday. I then got food poisioning on Saturday night/all day Sunday. I am going to be subbing in the days this week to get back on track with my schedule. As far as my knee goes, I still feel pain. I am going in to the doctors next Monday. I am excited to see what they say. I am going to see if I can get an X-Ray on my knee just to make sure 100 percent that it is okay.
I think for me, if I want to lose weight I need to start writing down exactly what I am putting in my mouth. Starting today, Tuesday March 2nd I am writing down exactly what I am eating. I do actually eat really healthy BUT I love to eat a lot. I think this will help me to eat less and maybe drink more water too. I know I need to drink at least a gallon of water a day. I think I drink about one liter to maybe two liters of water a day. The days I go to the gym I can easily get two liters and the days I do not go to the gym I can easily get no water in.
Have a gym buddy SERIOUSLY. I have a good guy friend that has been training me. He seriously is my motivation to help me work out in the morning and get me sore. I have never been sore like I am when I work out with my friend. Group X classes at the gym are great too. I think everyone should take advantage of those cause our bodies get use to the cardio machines. We need changes... Our bodies want to stay the same so we have to take a lil challenge.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP. I am planning on looking online for stretches I can do for my knee. I messed up my back badly on Friday too cause I did not do my squats correctly. I think the correct forrm is important here too. Any advice or help is always welcomed. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you all soooo much!!!!!

STEWARDS OF BEAUTY – Bryan Rodrigues, left, and classmate Brandon Silva stand by the lupin they helped plant in the new garden at Hyannis West Elementary School. Bryan said the inspiration to plant "something beautiful" came from a book the class read.At June 16 dedication
Spirits were high and so were some of the good things to eat planted months ago in the new Hyannis West Elementary School garden. Almost half the old courtyard has been turned into growing space, which drew swarms of celebrants to a dedication ceremony June 16.
In an e-mail, organizer Sue LaVallee listed all the helpers involved, including Craigville Tabernacle, which got things rolling by suggesting the garden and making a donation. The Whole Kids Foundation provided a grant and a raft of local companies – S and J Exec, Country Gardens, Shepley, Cape Cod Fence, Kmart, Star Market, Trader Joe's, Cape Air and Whole Foods. Jeff Brown built the garden's fence.

Differential Equations
More About Solutions
Differential equations have two kinds of solutions: general and particular.
The general solution to a differential equation is the collection of all solutions to that differential equation. A general solution will usually contain some undetermined constants.
Sample Problem
y = 4x + C is the general solution to the d.e.
y ' = 4.
Sample Problem
y = 3x2 + Bx + C is the general solution to the d.e.
y " = 6.
A particular solution to a differential equation is a solution with all the constants filled in.
Sample Problem
The function y = 4x + 2 is a specific solution to the d.e.
y ' = 4.
Initial value problems usually have a particular solution only, because the initial condition(s) force us to pick values for the constant(s) in the general solution.

An insurance company is giving its customers a discount--- if they agree to be tracked.
Progressive Insurance is giving tiny tracking devices to drivers--- and if it shows they're responsible--- they could get a discount of up to 30% on their insurance rates.
The devices will measure the driver's behavior only--- like when they drive, how often and if sudden stops are made. GPS is not included in the device, so no one can tell where the driver is going or where their home is located.
The discounts would be applied to drivers who travel during times of the day when accidents are less likely to occur and those who drive less overall.
The "Snapshot" Program is available in 27 states, including Michigan.

: happened to several people who have reported it on the mailing lists.

I think I figured out what's going on here in this really twisted
continuation of the thread. Let me see if I'm right. If you rebuilt
every port on the system but had the old libraries sitting around,
would the situation you describe in the quoted bits above occur?

How An Olympian's Diet Differs From Our Diet
August 12 2016
You might be surprised that they are very similar.
Fill your plate with the finest foods to fuel your run. Here are 5 common nutrition questions and our answers!
Is it bad to drink coffee before a morning run?
Worried that your cup of joe will zap moisture pre-run? Don't be. "It's a myth that coffee and tea are dehydrating," says sports dietician Lauren Antonucci, owner of Nutrition Energy in New York City. Because coffee is liquid, it still hydrates you regardless of a mild diuretic effect. Antonucci adds that, in fact, caffeine is a proven performance enhancer: "Athletes use it all the time. It's not just a placebo." If it doesn't bother your tummy, go ahead and enjoy your brew to add a little pep to your early-morning workout.

so pumpers....why they are no human trials which were supposed to start in 2011? Why there is no approval from FDA? Don't just write some stupid stuff like "He is a basher" ...that will not work for smart people
Same old story for BASHERS like you............GET LOST!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I have to disagree fivestar........this one is REALLY STUPID!
Give it up, dude. The majority of the folks on this board have educated themselves regarding this stock. If a person takes the time to go through this message board they will find most all of the concerns you state have already been addressed. The fact is, the positives of this company totally outweigh any negatives you spout. Your feeble attempts at bashing will not change the minds of the educated majority of the folks invested in this stock.
If you don't like this stock, don't waste your time on our board.
See ya loser!!!
Smart People 5
Basher Zero

Sentiment: Strong Sell
Don't just write some stupid stuff like "He is a basher" ...that will not work for smart people

Less than a month after Israeli filmmakers proved a strong presence at the Cannes Film Festival, the 24th Israel Film Festival will play in Los Angeles June 3-18, with a lineup showing how Israeli cinema has recently emerged as a contender on the global scene. The more than 30 films — including 12 features, 10 documentaries and TV programs to screen at the Fine Arts in Beverly Hills and Laemmle's Fallbrook 7 in West Hills — spotlight some of the best recent Israeli fare to hit theaters.
These include three movies that swept the Israeli Oscars last year: The opening night film is Reshef Levy's semiautobiographical drama, "Lost Islands," the top-grossing Israeli movie of 2008; "7 Days," by Ronit Elkabets and Shlomi Elkabets, examines the breakdown of a Moroccan Israeli family after the death of one of its members; and "Waltz With Bashir," a nominee for best foreign film at the 2009 Academy Awards, will screen for anyone who missed the theatrical release here last December.
"The movies this year are more varied than ever," said Meir Fenigstein, the festival's founder and executive director. "They reflect the trend of personal, rather than military stories, which are universal and one of the reasons Israeli cinema has become so successful on an international level."
"Zrubavel," the first film to emerge from an Ethiopian Israeli, already has won kudos on the festival circuit from New York to Addis Ababa; "It All Begins at Sea," about a family grappling with issues of friendship, love, sex and death, won the innovation award at the Montreal World Film Festival; and Dror Zahavi's "For My Father," a love story involving a suicide bomber, received a prize at the Moscow International Film Festival.
The festival will continue to help further Israeli cinema by hosting a luncheon promoting new production incentives, as well as providing a place to introduce Israeli artists to Hollywood. While the festival screens annually in three American cities, including New York and Miami, the Los Angeles event is key, according to Fenigstein. "The directors aren't just coming to introduce their films but to meet people in the industry," he said.

S/W Control for ES9018K2M
Here is the initial public release of the s/w control code for the NEW ES9018K2M DAC [link]. This project was completed at this (early) time due to the insistence of "syllable" at diyaudio who is running a group buy for his DAC board [link].
Download the code here [link]
The code is based on the ES9018 code and supports revision V of the chip ("E" marking in the third row of the text). It is also based on the 5/15/14 version of the official data sheet (available through authorized distributors and under NDA)
(As compared to what is available in the older ES9018 DAC)
- Support for a minimum phase FIR filter
- Support for separate DPLL settings for I2S and DSD (16 settings for each)
- Support for FIR filter (oversampling) bypass AND IIR filter bypass
- Exposed De-emphasis filters
- Enabled balance control in 0.5 db increment
I will be using the diyinhk implementation of the ES9018K2M (it is already populated and ready to use. I realize that I am getting to lazy to start with bare boards and some the surface mount chips I cannot properly solder).
The power supply is an older quad-supply board also from diyinhk which I've hacked to also provide +/14.x v. in order to power the opamp
Using my latest favorite Arduino clone (only $10) [link]. The two small boards hanging on the pins are a LCD backlight control and a 5V to 3.3V level converter. As I realize that this audio diy hobby is never ending, I figure doing things the easy way trumps doing things the neat way (like for example using an Arduino shield) so I soldered the wires directly on pins that I plug into the board.

Thank you very much ! You are awesome , but you know this by now . danzup

How does it sound? I'm wondering if it is worth the price and how it stands up to competition.

Suspected bike thief dies after harbour dive
A suspected bike thief has died after jumping into a harbour in a bid to evade police.
The man dived into Sutton Harbour in Plymouth after being chased by officers following a nearby theft early on Sunday morning, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
He became trapped between a disused fishing vessel and the harbour wall.
"Two lifeboats and the fire service water rescue team were deployed but were unable to reach the man due to his location," a force spokesman added.
The man's body was later recovered by a Royal Navy dive team, with authorities still working to determine his identity.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, police added.
Teenager with learning difficulties Tasered by police
A schoolboy with complex learning difficulties has been Tasered by police in the grounds of a school owned by the exclusive Priory Group.
Devon and Cornwall Police were called to Chelfham Senior School near Plymouth, which specialises in children with learning difficulties including behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, after reports of an alleged assault on a teacher.
The force confirmed officers deployed a Taser during the incident, which involved three boys, a 15-year-old and two 14-year-olds, after reports that knives were brandished at officers.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has not been contacted in relation to the incident.
The alleged victim was treated at the scene by paramedics for chest and head injuries before being taken to Derriford Hospital.
All three boys involved in the incident were jointly charged with affray and will appear at Plymouth Magistrates' Court on 20th December.

I must be really odd as I love the smell of the restorative treatment & often put it on before I pop in to the hairdresser for a blow dry,none of the girls there have ever commented on it either though I agree it's a real 'Marmite' smell.I happen to love it.
I find it really conditioning though am still using the old formula.
I do agree re the shampoo & conditioner,you wouldn't want to have dexterity problems trying to get it out of the bottle.

Fox Theatre
4111 Woflin Avenue,
2 people favorited this theater
Opened July 31, 1968, the Fox Theatre was a single screen theatre operated by the Mann Theater chain. In November 1974 it was twinned.
It was closed July 27, 1992 and was demolished in summer of 1993.

The new Fox Theatre in Amarillo was set to open on July 30, 1967, according to the issue of Boxoffice dated the previous day. This 800-seat house was, like a number of theaters built during NGC's expansion in the late 1960s, designed by the Los Angeles architectural firm of Pearson, Wuesthoff & Skinner. Amarillo architect Harold Mitchell was the local associate.
Bourbon Street Cafe, Cattle Call BBQ Resturant and Joes Catering are all listed at this address now.
Worked here when Superman, Grease came out….I know I was hired cause my name is Terry….There was several Terry's working there…..had lots of fun
The Fox Theater on Wolflin Ave opened in September 1968 showing "THE ODD COUPLE". It played for weeks and weeks but I never wanted to see a movie about 2 old guys so I didn't go to the theater until the premier of "BARBARELLA" December 3, 1968. I saw 262 movies there before they shut the place down July 27, 1992. The last was "DEEP COVER" June 20, 1992. The building sat empty and forlorn until it was demolished in the summer of '93. A Taco Bell and other businesses are now located at the spot where movies were once shown.

Hudson Leads Dukes to 90-61 Win Over The Citadel
Dec. 20, 2005
RECAP: DeVario Hudson tied his career highs for points (20), rebounds (11) and blocked shots (5) in leading Duquesne to a dominating 90-61 win over The Citadel at the Palumbo Center on Tuesday night. Bryant McAllister, who scored a game-high 22 points, tied his career high with nine assists as Duquesne snapped a three-game losing streak.
Duquesne led 12-11 when Hudson and McAllister hit back-to-back 3-pointers to key a 9-0 run that gave the Dukes their first double-digit lead of the game. The DU lead reached 17 on a Jack Higgins 3-pointer with just under seven minutes left before The Citadel reeled off 10 unanswered points to pull within seven at 32-25. But Hudson, who scored 18 in the half, hit a pair of field goals in a 17-second span to push the Duquesne lead back to 11.
The Dukes hit 7-of-12 3-point attempts in the opening 20 minutes including one by Aaron Jackson at the buzzer to open up a 48-31 lead. Duquesne, which forced 18 Citadel turnovers on the evening, built a 55-33 advantage as the Bulldogs missed eight of their first nine shots to open the second half. The Duquesne lead would never dip below 18 the rest of the game.
Jack Higgins and Chauncey Duke also scored in double figures for the Dukes with 11 and 10 points respectively. Aaron Jackson added a season-high seven assists as Duquesne as a team assisted on 23 of its 29 field goals.
NOTES: Duquesne posted season highs in points (90), field goal percentage (48.3%), rebounds (46) assists (23) and blocked shots (10) ... Hudson, who finished the game 8-of-11 from the field, was 7-of-8 in the first half ... he tied his career high for points and rebounds set last year at Richmond ... his five blocks tied the five he posted vs. La Salle at home last season ... McAllister, who scored 15 of his 22 in the second half, was 11-of-13 from the foul line ... Chauncey Duke (2-of-4) and Jack Higgins (3-of-6) combined to hit 5-of-10 3-point field goal attempts ... Duke's 10 points were a season-high ... Duquesne led from wire-to-wire ... Duquesne played with a nine-man roster ... sophomore forward Ryan Lambert was released from the team earlier in the day and senior guard Adam Souply was in street clothes with a sprained ankle ... DU's 90 points were its most since a 94-93 double overtime win at Dayton last year ... the last time the Dukes reached the 90-point mark in regulation game was in a 93-56 win over Fordham on Feb. 25, 2004.
Duquesne head coach Danny Nee: "I thought we were very active tonight, especially in the first half on defense. We moved the ball tonight as well as we have all season. Citadel's road trip and the travel [they played at Western Carolina on Sunday] took a lot out of them. I think our quickness was the difference.
DeVario Hudson played extremely well tonight. So did Bryant McAllister. There were a lot of positives. We've been working at this very hard and have been expecting it to come around."
On playing with a nine-man roster: "We are going to have to adapt and make some adjustments. There are some positives to come out of it. A lot of guys are getting more playing time and can play through their mistakes and learn their roles. When you have a smaller family, there is more food at the table and more pieces of the pie."

Vitamin HB | GORGEOUSLY Soft Pore-Free Skin!Sun, 8 Jul 2012
By Huda Heidi Kattan
I never really had issues with dry skin, my skins always been really soft and actually perfect for makeup application. Well, NOT anymore! I have to say, I think I had pretty perfect skin growing up and now it seems I've gone through everything! Cystic acne, dark circles, bags, pores, and now really rough skin!
Rough skin SUCKS! It makes your makeup look heavy and cakey, it accentuates your pores and it just looks thick! I don't know if I've been dehydrated from traveling, but whatever it is, it's driving me crazy! Soooo, I remember hearing that Coconut Oil can seriously help with dry rough skin, and since it's one of the few ingredients I brought with me to the states, I thought I would give it a try! LOVE LOVE LOVED the results! My skin is already on it's way to it's softer, pore free appearance! This is easy peasy and quick too!!
My skin has been pretty dry, so I've actually been doing this every other day for the past week! I haven't noticed any breakouts, so I think this is great for anyone's skin, but just make sure you use organic virgin coconut oil! Check your local natural foods store for this (or when all else fails, AMAZON)!
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
warm damp wash cloth
Before you begin, start by testing the Coconut Oil on your forearm (since this area usually reacts first) to make sure you are not allergic! After 30 minutes or so if there is no reaction, you can begin!
Apply the Coconut Oil to the palms of your hand and work together. Squeeze about a size of a Dirham in your hands (quarter, 1 euro coin, 1 pound coin). Work together by rubbing your hands together slowly. Then apply to your skin by massaging into your face in small circular motions. Apply warm wash cloth and let sit for 10 minutes. Wash and apply your favorite moisturizer!

The first time I played Kings and Things was at a gaming convention where the GM didn't show. The six players decided to figure out the game based on the rulebook and the one person who had played before. The rules were simple enough to pick up and after three hours we were having loads of fun. The game ended through a special event I played which caused one of the players to lose a citadel.
I really liked the bluffing and stacking of power creatures. I had the 'Tower' which was an unstoppable stack--unfortunately, it was the only one I had. This game enterntained me so much, that I searched everywhere to buy the game. After attaining the Dragon #77 with King of the Tabletop and the GW version of Kings and Things I decided to help the rest of the hopefuls out there by posting the rules to the Internet. So, if you have the game or if you want to check out the easy rules, stop on by and leave your comments. This is a Best Buy! Buy this game or any version you can, it is the best!
Kings and Things has great components. It took us while to get the hang of the order of playing down. First gold is collected based on hexes owned. Next we roll for special characters with extra abilities. Collect things. Move things. Explore new hexes. Combat other things. Build to win with a citadel or 2!
I think this game has great potential once we know the characters better. The other fun part of the game is 'bluffing' with your creatures and not getting caught. Your things or creatures must be supported with a matching land hex but you can bluff this if you dare!
I loved this game - my gaming circle lost it when the owner was kidnapped at gun point and put in his trunk. We are happy he was ok at the end of the day, but it was a shame to lose the game.
I give it 3 stars rather than 4 because you can't find it... it's annoying, I don't give it five stars because it does have issues e.g. any player knocking out another enjoys a HUGE advantage, making the next hour and a half pretty painful if the remaining players want to fight it out.

Northern Cameroon lies in the Sahel region. Described as "thirsty", it has high levels of food insecurity and chronic malnutrition. It is one of the poorest places on Earth. The region, which stretches across northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea has experienced a series of droughts since the 17th century that have served as a catalyst for famine and severe environmental degradation.
Agriculture and livestock have long been a part of the sahelian tradition. However, because of the environmental hits that the area has endured over the years combined with recent drought, the people of the Sahel are more food insecure than before. In northern Cameroon, it is estimated that since 2010, 124,000 children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women are suffering from acute malnutrition.

The Sahel gets about 60 days of rain a year and the region's farmers need that rain in order to make sure that whatever crops they have planted will grow in time for the dry season. On the flip side, the climate change that is responsible for those very droughts are also responsible for sudden and intense freak rain storms that do more harm than good. Because the land is so dry, it can't absorb water quickly enough and so the soil erodes. Whatever nutrients that were in the soil are washed away and anything that had been planted will either die or become an unhealthy and underproductive crop.
In an effort to adapt, the Sahelian people are learning new techniques to improve crop yields and to try to slow down the desertification that is hitting the region. Check out this video that demonstrates some techniques that are being implemented by NGOs in the region.

"Being able to indulge in your fantasies really belongs to the privileged and the wealthy. I was fascinated with the fashion that comes with that luxury and excess, and I wanted to produce a piece that would be slightly surreal and also a bit of satire as well—poking fun at the whole thing, but also loving it at the same time.

Back to School Safety Tips
CONCORD Police Recommend Safety Tips – Another academic year is right around the corner! Chief Joseph O'Connor and the Concord Police Department would like to offer several back to school safety tips for parents and guardians prior to the start of classes. Students at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School will start on Aug. 31. Kindergartners through eighth grade will return to the Concord Public Schools on Sept. 1.
Chief O'Connor suggests that parents follow safety procedures outlined by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) to prevent accidents this school season. DPH reports that approximately 400,000 students in the state are transported to school by buses every year. While school bus travel is generally very safe, the majority of related injuries occur when boarding or exiting a bus because of passing traffic or due to walking in one of the bus driver's blind spots. To help students stay safe, parents should:
• Educate children on safe bus riding and walking behaviors when getting on and off the bus.
• Teach young children to take five giant steps (10 feet) in front of the bus and to wait for the driver's signal before crossing.
• Develop appropriate bus pick-up/drop-off policies.
• Closely supervise children under age 10 who must cross the street after exiting the bus.
The fine for illegally passing a school bus is a maximum of $200, and repeat offenders may have their licenses suspended. Concord Police will be on patrol looking for drivers who follow school buses too closely or illegally pass the vehicles. "While we want to do everything we can to help students board and exit the school bus safely and cross the street without issue, we also need drivers to be extra cautious while in a school zone or in the vicinity of a school bus," Chief O'Connor said. "Please obey the rules of the road."
Additionally, before sending your child off to school in the morning, Concord Police recommend checking backpacks to make sure they are a tolerable weight. The American Chiropractic Association advises that backpacks should weigh no more than 10 percent of a student's body weight, as heavy pressure can negatively affect the skeletal and muscular development in children. If walking to school, or when exiting the bus, parents and guardians should educate students about safely crossing the street. DPH reports that pedestrian injuries are the second leading cause of unintentional injury death among school-aged children 5 to 18 years old. Most injuries to children in kindergarten through third grade occur when they run into the street mid-block, while older students are most often hurt at intersections. To prevent potential tragedies, children should
• Be aware of pedestrian hazards and how to avoid them
• Know traffic signs and signals, and safe walking zones
• Wait for the "walk" signal at a crosswalk, or for a crossing guard to signal the OK to proceed into the street
For Immediate Release: February 6, 2015
Woman Pleads Guilty To Forging More Than $229,000 Worth Of Checks
WOBURN – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan has announced that a woman has pled guilty in connection with stealing blank checks from a household where she worked, forging names on the checks, and cashing them in order to collect more than $229,000.
Nilce Coffey, 61, of Acton, pled guilty in Middlesex Superior Court to charges of larceny over $250 from a person over 60 years of age, forgery, and trespassing. Judge Thomas Billings sentenced Coffey to 3 years in state prison followed by 5 years probation, with restitution to be determined and a condition that Coffey submit to an evaluation and follow any recommended treatment guidelines.
"Nilce Coffey preyed on the kindness of a senior citizen," said District Attorney Ryan. "While she was a housekeeper, she secretly took blank checks from the home, forged signatures on them, and cashed them to get money. When the homeowner gave her a chance to turn her life around and he didn't press charges, she victimized him again. Coffey snuck into the home and stole more blank checks. Shame on her for continuing to prey on this man's good heart and shame on anyone who would take advantage of the trust placed in them by a senior citizen."
"The successful resolution of this case is another example of the strong partnership that exists between the Concord Police Department and the Middlesex District Attorney's Office," said Concord Police Chief Joseph O'Connor. "Detective Sergeant Joseph Morahan and the District Attorney's Office conducted a thorough investigation and presented evidence which resulted in Nilce Coffey being held accountable for her crimes."
Evidence gathered during the investigation showed that in April of 2009, Coffey forged a check taken from a residence where she worked as a housekeeper. Coffey was confronted and admitted to forging a signature in order to cash the check for $6,000. The employer decided not to press charges and Coffey was released from his employment.
Authorities say several years later, the alarm system in the home went off on September 5, 2013. The security company called the residence and the person who answered the phone could not provide a password. Police were sent to the property and found the intruder gone. The security company provided a recording of the phone conversation and the family identified the voice as belonging to Coffey.
Later, in October of 2013, the family reported to law enforcement that numerous checks had been drawn from the household's bank account and that they were forged and cashed. The amount of the checks ranged from $28 to $25,000. The total amount of the 44 checks that were forged and cashed was $229,892.58. One month later, police executed a search warrant at Coffey's home, found checks belonging to the family that was victimized, and Coffey was arrested.
District Attorney Ryan says this case should serve as a reminder to senior citizens and to family members about the importance of regularly checking bank statements and other financial documents. Before assuming the position as District Attorney, Ryan served as Chief of the Middlesex District Attorney's Office's Elder and Disabled Unit, where she prosecuted a myriad of crimes involving financial abuse and physical abuse of the most vulnerable victims. In that role, Ryan collaborated with business and community leaders to conduct risk assessments and develop prevention plans for elders and disabled citizens. Ryan continues to host seminars in community settings to provide advice to residents about how to protect themselves. Some information provided at these forums by Ryan includes reminding people that, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."
For example, if someone offers to take over the task of paying your bills for you, make sure that person can be trusted and check financial statements regularly. In addition, be skeptical if you receive a phone call or letter claiming you will get money for providing your social security number or personal information. Ryan says the age-old safety precautions still apply in these modern times: lock your front door, never give personal information to strangers, and don't allow people into your home even if they say they have an emergency and need to use your phone. Finally, Ryan says if you think you have been a victim of a scam, speak up, and tell someone in authority.
The prosecutor assigned to this case is Assistant District Attorney Doug Nagengast. The Victim Witness Advocate is Lori Riccio.

Concord Police Department Emergency Notification System
The Concord Police Department has partnered with Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution to create a Concord Police Department Emergency Notification System. The CodeRED System provides Concord Police Department with the ability to quickly deliver personalized messages via voice, email, phone text and TDD/TTY capabilities to targeted areas or the entire Town of Concord in minutes.
Such systems are only as good as the telephone number database supporting them. "If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called." One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is that it gives individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly into the system's data base, which is an extremely important feature.
No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included all individuals and businesses to log onto the Town of Concord's website, www.concordma.gov, and follow the link to the Concord Police Department's home page. From there, there will be information about the Concord Police Department Emergency Notification System and a link to the form that can be filled out. Anyone without Internet access may call the Concord Police Department at 978-318-3400 to supply their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary phone number. Additional phone numbers can be entered as well.
All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, and those who have changed their phone number or address within the past year or who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number.
The Concord Police Department Emergency Notification System allows geographically based delivery, which means street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street address to provide relevant messages."
The Concord Police Department Emergency Notification System gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes." Questions should be directed to the Concord Police Department, Detective James Forten at 978-318-3420 or email email@example.com.
