Submariner saw action in Europe
Published: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
John Martin, a native of New Haven, Conn., was a student in the ROTC program at Yale University and graduated a year before World War II began. He went to the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. in New York to work as a marine engineer before entering the Navy. Martin then served on submarines throughout Morocco, England and Hawaii. Post-military, he was a consultant in metallurgical waste treatment. Now 95, Martin lives in Venice with his wife, Reita, of 15 years.
'I had been called up within a year of my graduation from Yale. I had to report for duty in the Navy and they said I was too light because I weighed 120 pounds. Within three days, I got a telegram from the U.S. Surgeon General that said they didn't consider my weight significant for duty in submarines, and to report to New London. I had three days to close up my apartment and move.
I was assigned to an R-11 boat, which took off for Key West. After I was there for three months, and after I'd already been in a submarine for three months, they sent me to submarine school. While I was in school, the war broke out. I elected to go to an S-1 boat in Philadelphia.
Then, I was reassigned to the Barb. We were sent over to Morocco and we were on the vanguard of the fleet that was invading Africa.
The Barb took four commandos in at night and got as close as we could to the pier so the commandos didn't have a long way to paddle. We put them in a rubber boat and sent them over. Shells were going overhead.
There were flashes of light and ships were firing from the sea over us to land. My skipper couldn't wait to get out of there. There were about 90 men on the Barb.
After we landed the commandos, we quickly got out of there and went up to England by Gibraltar and the Bay of Biscay into a place called Rosneath.
I always think of it as the Lady of the Lake country. It was a quaint place, and we were welcomed very much by the people there. We patrolled out of Rosneath and our mission was to find a German battleship that was supposedly in one of the fjords in Norway.
The British were so afraid the battleship might get out. If it did, it would cause havoc in the convoys going to England, because this was the latest German battleship and I don't think the British had anything that could sink it.
We weren't there to sink it. We were there to report where it was. We made three patrols up and down Norway and up to the Arctic Circle. I never was so cold in my life and I'm from New England.
One day, we were able to be on the surface more than normal. It was about 2 p.m., and I was the officer on deck and there were about three people on deck with me. All at once we said, 'Periscope!' and put up our hands. I still remember the tension of everybody waiting for the shot that we knew was going to hit us.
This went on for about an hour, and our sonar gear could tell where he was. This periscope was so close it couldn't miss. We thought later that it was a new German submarine captain who just didn't know what a good shot he had.
I never want to be that close to death again."

text: I tried this one after using WP-Footnotes for a while. It's newer that WP-Footnotes but also nearly identical. WP-Footnote's code has been cleaned up in a few placed and it adds a tooltip to the backlink but unfortunately these minor improvements are outweighed by the fact that it strips out WP-Footnote's admin panel. I really liked the flexibility of those options.

Arcade basketball on your Android
Basketball Mania is a free game for Android in which you have to shoot hoops in an arcade-style basketball net.
With 40 seconds on the clock, you have to reach a certain number of points in order to progress to the next stage of the level. Once you've completed that level you'll unlock the next stage. The aim is to unlock and finish all five stages. This is easier said than done because the targets are tough, especially when the basketball hoop starts moving.
You play Basketball Mania by flicking the balls with your finger towards the hoop. If it lands directly in the basket you get three points, if it hits the ring on the way down you get two.
Ultimately the gameplay in Basketball Mania gets very repetitive and monotonous, and there's not even a two player mode that can increase its longevity.
Basketball Mania is great for killing five minutes on a bus journey, but it's not the kind of game you'll be coming back to.

I just finished listening to Krista Tippet's interview with Walter Brueggemann, which was interesting on many levels, not the least for this quote by Kafka on reading books. If only we could always read the Bible as the "ax for the frozen sea within us"! The best literature, and the kind of thing we strive to publish in Relief, will disrupt our habitual lives and refresh our orientation to the world – and to the Scriptures.

This seems like quite an easy thing to do, and I thought I had accomplished it in the past but I can't find a past project with it.
I have a custom post type, lets call it "fish". Rewrite slug has been set to "fish". All these posts will have one of two categories: large or small (lg and sm for their slugs, respectively). I have registered a taxonomy with the custom post called gp_tag. Hierarchical is set to true since I want them to act like a category and not a tag.
I have modified my permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/ but it seems to ignore the %category% portion of it.
If I add a post and assign it to the small category, I would expect a URL to look like website.com/fish/sm/barracuda, but instead I get website.com/fish/barracuda.
How do I "force" the category slug to be part of the post URL? Remember, all these posts will have one of these categories. The permalink page on the Codex doesn't seem to give any answers.
Thank you in advance for any insight!

hello, I am currently making a page that holds info about all my authors and I can use code like this: $curauth->display_name; to get custom information about users, but I am not sure how to display the extra profiel fields your plugin adds :-(
can you help me out there?
Also I would like to have another type of user defined fields, i.e. I want to let users enter their ZIP code, so instead of text fields, or date fields I'd need to be able to select something like: number field, and also limit the number of digits? maybe even have the feature to say min. 4 chars. max 6 chars? Is that possible?

Federal recognition possible for riverMarch 04,2013WESTFIELD Voters in seven Vermont towns are being asked whether they want two rivers to receive federal recognition under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers program.
If voters approve, Congress would be asked to add the 50 upper miles of the Missiquoi River and the 11-mile Trout River to the federal program, which could bring tourist-attracting publicity and federal money to help with economic development, water quality and public access.
But The Burlington Free Press reported that the proposal faces an uncertain fate on Town Meeting Day. In some towns, the plan has been met with local suspicion that federal recognition means federal control. Officials say that isnt true, though the program would bring some regulatory changes.MORE IN Vermont NewsWATERBURY Five years after Tropical Storm Irene hit the state, an artist from Waterbury recalls...

To be honest, I really don't understand the question :/
What exactally are you aiminig at? You want players to "volunteerly" leave quest areas an wander in the wilderness? Or want them to take their time when going from town to town?
If its not fun, then you shouldn't consider it in your game. Traviling is not fun, in game or in real life. Most games will only force you to travel through an area once, and make it as challenging as possible to get to the other side. You know, The fun part. After that they give you a "fast travel" option so you don't have to go throught it agian, just to travel to a place you already been there.
fun = a challenging goal. The goal is going from A to B. You can make it chalenging by adding multipul ways to get killed, diffuclt to navigate, self revealing maps, etc...
OK, I know that I may have not answered your question, but I guess it becomes easier to think about if you already know what you want from it.
Remeber, its all about fun. It way we play.

There are heaps and heaps of books instructing men how to love their women, but very few that go the other way (excuse the pun!). It seems that making love to a woman is difficult and needs to be learned, while making love to a man is easy and every woman instinctively knows how to do it. If you think about it, that is very unlikely to be true.
You can only love men well if you understand them, and you have to admit that most women don't. Here is a light-hearted quest to find what a woman can do to give her man the very best of the best in bed (or on the sofa, or in the phone booth on the way home - wherever!)
Every woman makes love to her man with her heart, but just where do you learn how to do it with your mind and body too? Here is a chance to peep into the sexy world between your man's ears, and lots of practical advice on what to do to drive him wild.
Now you can be the most skilful lover he has ever experienced...
"This is a wonderful book for women who want to know how to please their men. Lots of good advice and technique included in this pages. If you're always wondered what makes our men happy in bed, this is a must read!" ~ Keta Diablo
Jacqueline George lives in the far north of Queensland, Australia, on the shores of the Coral Sea. She writes about the things she loves - travel, landscapes, good food. And of course romantic, erotic sex, which also has to be exotic, overwhelming and – above all – believable.

Solutions for Chapter 44
The correct option is (a).
Technician A has correctly stated that for a FWD car, the bearings are to be forced in and out of the hub assembly in order to change them. The Rear Hubs note does not mention the type of vehicle of which the front wheel bearings are serviced like the way the rear bearings are serviced of a FWD one. So option (a) is correct.
The statement of Technician B cannot be validated as he says servicing front bearings of RWD and rear bearings of FWD are alike. So, option (b) is incorrect.
As option (b) is invalid option (c) becomes invalid.
As option (a) is correct option (d) becomes invalid.

I finally had some time to get to the bank and ask about it, and they gave me a phone number. After about 2 hours of trying to find a way through their automated garble, I tried pressing 0. It worked.
I told the company operator that the charge was unauthorized and she told me that she would cancel the subscription and refund the money. Then she tells me it will take two months to return the money to my account. It only too 2 weeks to put me $200 in the hole. I was already mad and asked about what would be done with the overdraft fees of $70. I was told I had to send bank statements to that fact and they would refund it within "two billing periods" once they got the paperwork.
They probably hope people like me just won't bother. I don't make enough not to bother.

16.06.2012Chilling with Satan (DILD)
I'm in some sort of building with red walls. Absolutely no idea about what the function of the room is.. but my objective is to kill this guy. He's standing in the corner of the room with his back facing me - perfect! Creeping up to him, I pull out my pistol. As soon as i'm about 2m from the guy, I fire two shots into his head. ... wait.. what the.. It had no effect what so ever!
He turns around, perfectly unscathed. The hell is this guy? Is he hacking? (Man... I've been playing too much Battlefield 3 ) I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I give up. At this point, I don't even care about anything. I turn around and walk up a small flight of steps which brings me to a girl sitting at a messy desk. It somehow reminds me of the receptionist of a ghetto PC gaming cafe.
After saying a few words to her, I black out..
I'm now standing infront of a red telephone booth with the girl to my right side. However, this is no ordinary telephone booth, it's actually an elevator. (Whilst writing this, I have absolutely no clue who the person coming up the lift is.) I have an incredible urge to eliminate this guy. He committed some sort of betrayal and it's seems only fair for him to die.
I crouch on all four limps and leap up onto the top of the telephone booth. It wobbles and I'm forced to stand on two in order to keep my balance.
(Can't clearly remember what happens here) but I'm pulled off the top of the telephone booth. I gain a low level of lucidity. The next thing I know, I'm talking to... Satan. Satan's wearing a black suit yet I can't seem to recall his facial features. He's now sitting on a lounge (picture one where you would lay on when going to a psychologist) with a small table next to him.
I start a conversation to him about energy work.
I start off by complaining about how the girl I arrived with wouldn't teach me energy work. He doesn't reply but doesn't seemed bothered by my presence so I continue.. "Can I try something?" No reply.
I lift my hands up so that my palms and facing towards him and start to absorb energy. "Can you feel that?" There are golden sparks flying in the air from his leg into my palm - that's his energy flowing into me.
"You're only talking a small dose, but it's very distinct."
He checks his nearby laptop and discovers an identitity of an online user. For some reason, this is quite important to him.. the user is the brother of... someone or rather >_> He says he needs to go find this person and stands up to leave, making his way to the door.
I'm eager to ask this man (whether he be Devil or not) to teach me energy work. An idea comes to me after watching "Buddha Boy" on Youtube again about Tummo meditation, generating your own body heat through.. energy? Qi?
I draw the energy from the area about an inch under my stomache to my chest, then extending it over to my hand. I place my hand on Satan's shoulder (God knows why.. I was just really eager to do some energy work!)
Satan turns his head and somewhat glares at me, though it didn't seem like a threatening glare. Moreso a "Man, you are starting to get a bit annoying." Ignoring my actions, he opens the door and walks outside.
Being persistent as I am, I follow after him. The outdoor area looks almost identical to my waking-life backyard. "Will you teach me energy work?" I ask him.
Expecting him to teleport, I stay close by him, getting ready to make contact with him to make sure he couldn't suddenly teleport away.
But.. he flies. Feeling the shift in his mindset, I grab onto his arm. WHOOSH. Man, this guy flies FAST. For the first few seconds, I'm awestuck by how fast he flies, then I decide I want to fly for myself. As I let go, I'm immediately pulled down my gravity. For a second, I just fall but then propell myself forwards as fast as I can.. It's simply not enough. I can't catch up to him. He's probably going about 3x the speed I am.. blagh.
Though I have no hope of catching up to him, I notice that we're flying over beautiful mountains with rivers flowing through the land. The landscape is absolutely spectacular..
There's also something very interesting I noticed.... Satan's energy is WHITE.
17.04.2012War! (Non-lucid)
I'm standing with my small machine gun in hand next to my friend, Jacob. We watch as a swarm of enemy soldiers start to march towards us.. the battle starts. The enemy soldiers start running towards their trenches as fast as they can while our soldiers rain bullets on them.
I attempt to aim and fire my SMG but the distance is just too far. The bullets become unaccurate over the range and hits nothing.. I pull out my Desert Eagle. Everyone that has played CS: S knows that DEs shoot better over long distances! I take a few shots.
Many of their front wave get injured from the volley of bullets, tumble, and lay face-down, still, in the mud. The enemy decide that they are in a really bad position and retreat deep into the tunnels of their trenches.
We follow.. but that was a bad move. Once we climb into the tunnels, we find them all lined up with their guns out.. a trap, great.
16.04.2012Star? (Non-lucid)
There's an asian girl.. I think she's a celebrity. Everything in this dream just seems to be based around her. She's absolutely stunning. We are playing tennis and i score a round against her. She cusses and laughs her melodic laugh. I can't get over how gorgeous she is.Her eyes have so much emotion like.. I can't even put into words.
Later, we are standing in a line with a mutual friend, laughing together. We bring up old memories of going to a tutoring together for maths. I watch her father walk out of the room briskly with his.. assistant(?) and recall memories of him leaving his daughter for work.
She and I spend the next 5-10 minutes or so cuddling on a couch and just laughing. This dream was really pleasant and calm..
16.04.2012Uni (Non-lucid)
I'm sitting in a lecture university, studying Psychology.. or maybe physics.The man who is running the lecture is actually the vice-principal of my high school. He's short and actually encourages us to make jockey jokes, but quite a tight-ass if you break any rules what-so-ever. The room is somewhat dully lit but really relaxing.
As I decide I should start taking down some notes, I lean over to where I placed my bag down to grab my pens and books.. it's a seat or two away. The lecturer stops what the whole class just to tell me that this isn't the right time to do whatever I am i'm doing.. what? Wait, so he doesn't want me to take notes? I thought university teachers didn't care what you done in lectures unless you start to distract other people.
Later, i'm sitting with my laptop searching the web when the lecturer decides to call me out again. "If I turn off the internet, do you think you'll start paying attention?" He says to me. I think about it and consider that I could tether my phone to my laptop as a wi-fi hot-spot.
"Probably not," I reply honestly.
The class continues and some time later, he asks a question about how an electronical plug.. how it's illustration is male.. the logic made sense at the time of the dream so I was confident with my answer. Looking for brownie points seeing as I had already been called out twice, I answer the question. [wait.. but this is supposed to be a Psychology class!]
The lecture finishes and everyone goes to their next class or have their break.. I wonder off to buy a drink and then realise I have absolutely no clue where my next class is. I consider calling my girlfriend as she's a year above me to ask my way around but I didn't want to bother her - then I consider calling Erii as she's in my Psychology class awell, but knowing how tightass this teacher is, i'd probably get her into trouble..
I end up running around looking for someone I know, but I don't find anyone..
25.02.2012Dream Yoga START (DILD)
Ive been trying to practice dream yoga, I think its going reasonably well. It took me about 4 weeks to see any results. My first lucid came 4 weeks after starting to practice dream yoga. The week after that, I had 3 lucids and this week, ive had 2. Its probably too soon to say that this lucid rate is steady, but I definitely feel that theres a lot of progress.
My lucid from this morning:
I sit up in my bed to realise that Im in a dream. Oh. I couldnt remember falling asleep at all. Oh well.
Its dark.. the sun hasnt come up yet. My room looks perfectly normal, even my bedroom dream sign (no desk) wasnt visible. Ive been reading Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self lately and remember that it mentions intermediate lucid dreamers explore their dream location upon getting lucid before going to explore. I make my way into the living room where I see my friends computer set out on the floor, the sofa-bed is pulled out and my brother is sitting in an office chair with his back to me. I didnt think to interact with him, but I made a mental note to interact with dream characters in my next lucid dream.
Having little hold my interest within the house, I walk towards the door leading to the backyard. Not noticing that my dog wasnt waiting outside for me, I ponder whether I should put shoes on.. finally deciding that it was a dream and so it shouldnt matter, I walk into my backyard. Surprisingly, its a lot lighter outside, being lit up by the moon but pouring down rain.
I decide that I want to change the weather, something Ive tried but never been able to do before. Slowly, the rain eases up and within 20 seconds, the sun is out shining. Satisfied, I walk onto the grass and start flying.
Flying in this dream was much different to any other.. It was like the only thing that was keeping my up was my speed. If I slowed down, it felt like I would fall out of the sky (kinda like flying a plane?). I fly over many rooftops, sometimes almost falling out of the sky due to day drea- .. Can it still be called daydreaming if youre already in a dream..? huh..
Due to the mindless flying with no objective, I lose lucidity and end up beating up a few goons.

Ideally only those post that are viewed using single.php would be taken into account. Otherwise the most recent articles would skew the results.
Anyone know of a plugin that could do this?
If there isn't a plugin any suggestions on how to approach such a project would be appreciated.

Starfishes are equipped with tube feet, and breath through structures known as papillae, tiny structures that are spread across the surface of the body. Oxygen from the water is absorbed by these structures, and by fluid in the main body cavity. Excretion of nitrogenous waste is also done through the papillae. A starfish's body fluid contains phagocytic cells known as coelomocytes, which surround waste material and forcefully eject it into the surrounding water.

Friday's Red Sox-Athletics matchups: John Lackey vs. Jarrod Parker
|07.12.13 at 8:33 am ET
When the Red Sox start a three-game weekend set with the Athletics at O.co Coliseum on Friday, their final series before the Wednesday's All-Star Game, they will send the right-hander who is arguably their biggest All-Star snub ' John Lackey ' to the mound to do battle with Oakland righty Jarrod Parker.
Lackey (6-6, 8.49 K/9) has been nothing short of dominant the last month. He has lasted at least seven innings in each of his five starts dating back to June 15, posting a 2.25 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP while averaging exactly one strikeout per inning. Opposing batters are batting .241 with a .262 OBP and .387 slugging mark in that time.
That stretch is part of the 34-year-old's renaissance season after missing all of 2012 recovering from Tommy John surgery. His 2.80 ERA and 1.15 WHIP would be good for career lows.
Lackey's latest feat included seven innings of two-run ball against the Angels on Sunday afternoon. He struck out nine ' his second-highest total of the season ' as Los Angeles collected five hits and a walk, forcing Lackey to throw a season-high 116 pitches. Solo home runs from Mike Trout and Hank Conger were the only blemishes on Lackey's ledger.
'He was outstanding once again,' manager John Farrell said after the game. 'Two solo home runs through seven innings. I thought he was powerful. Held his stuff throughout the full seven innings. A lot of strikes.
'John's pitching as well as any point and time in his career. It's not to shortchange anything he's done early on, but he's in a very good place right now.'
Parker (6-6, 4.04 ERA), meanwhile, has made just one start since missing a week with a tight right hamstring. He limited the Royals to three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings Saturday.
Although his numbers on the season don't necessarily indicate it, Parker has pitched very well the last two months. Since May 11 he owns a 2.48 ERA and 0.89 WHIP, and hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of those 11 starts.
Red Sox vs. Parker (RHP)
Mike Napoli (8 plate appearances): .167 BA/.375 OBP/.667 SLG, 1 home run, 1 RBI, 2 walks
David Ortiz (6): .167/.167/.167, 1 RBI
Dustin Pedroia (6): .500/.500/.500, 1 RBI, 1 strikeout
Jarrod Saltalamacchia (6): .200/.333/.200, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
Daniel Nava (3): .333/.333/.667, 1 double
No other Red Sox hitters have faced Parker.
Athletics vs. Lackey (RHP)
Coco Crisp (33 plate appearances): .167 BA/.242 OBP/.367 SLG, 2 home runs, 2 RBIs, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts
John Jaso (13): .417/.462/.667, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
Chris Young (4): .250/.250/.500, 1 double, 1 RBI, 2 strikeouts
Seth Smith (3): .500/.333/1.500, 1 triple, 1 RBI, 1 strikeout
No other Oakland batters have faced Lackey.

This has been a down week for me. My achilles has been sore and too much junk food has had the body out of wack, but getting back on track and enjoying the cooler temps.
We've had torential rains today and yesterday, so since the heel was tender, I did my workout on the stationary bike. I'll be GLAD to get back outside to run tomorrow!

Whitlock Runs World Record 1:38 Half At Age 81
Canadian Ed Whitlock, 81, added to his collection of world records on Sunday by running 1:38:59 at a half marathon in his hometown of Milton, Ontario. Whitlock broke the old 80+ mark by 29 seconds, despite resuming regular running only in the weeks before the race.
Whitlock fell on ice last November and broke a rib, one month after lowering his 80+ marathon world record to 3:15:54. He missed months of training and didn't resume his famed routine of daily two- to three-hour runs in a nearby cemetery until mid-summer.

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
Howdy all,
I've been using Active Trainer now for a couple of years and just found this wonderful thread. I just turned 61 (Sep 5th) and have been running since high school. In June 2010, I had a heart attack which required triple bypass surgery. After the surgery, it took me two years to get back to running 25 minutes and losing 65 pounds. June of this year, I broke my ankle and had to start all over again. I'm back to running about 30 minutes at a time three days a week using the C25K plan. I finish the plan 10/1 and have a 5K race on 10/6. I hope my major ailments are behind me and I'd like your opinions as to where I go from here. My plan is to go to a plan to improve my 5K and get ready for a 10K. Suggestions?
Michael 'Doc' Parker
MKay, I think it is unusual, but not unheard of. Timing worked out in this case. Legs are a little tired this week and the 10K is next Friday so we'll see if it works or not.
Tony, Don't know if there is any secret to anything. Sure helps to run in cooler temps. SF on Sunday was foggy and low 50s for the run (burned off about 2 hours after the run). I normally train in 80 degree weather (near San Jose) and it's a big difference. But, to give you and idea how fast the field was I finished 12/18 for the 50-59 group. #1 was 1:21:24, #3 was 1:23:01! That first time is age graded at 87.5! I passed two old guys at the end, they turned out to be 54!
Marie, Only 27 years to drop 10 minutes off my 1/2 time
Sue, Are you starting to get nervous? Not nearly ready to attempt a marathon again.
Doc, there are lots of training plans out there with lots of different philosophies. Do a search, look at them see which one fits you the best and then stick with it, remembering to listen to your body.
Feel like I'm mostly recovered from Sunday's run. Couple of good runs this week, but yesterday turned into an rest day. No runs this weekend - Hike for a Cure on Sunday. Here's a picture of one of my pairs of shoes.
1:38 @ 81, Geez! I bet he runs a very even race - cranks it up and just keeps going until the finish line. He must have a great mental attitude!
I've had a pretty good week of running, even after reading about Mr. Whitlock . Morning temperatures are finally in the 60's and the humidity is much lower. Yesterday I bought a new pair of shoes, Brooks Pure Flow, to replace my current pair. They're PURPLE! I also bought a small LED flashlight that clips onto my ball cap to help me see the sidewalk/road during the predawn hours. Even with the improved visibility, I took a tumble this morning - a hard one. The sidewalk took an unexpected dip and rise and my foot just ran right into it. I crashed onto my left shoulder, skinned my elbow, hand and knee. When I got up the worst pain was in my shoulder and hand. This was at mile three of a sixteen mile run. I knew my shoulder would probably recover quickly but I was a little worried about my hand. I figured I would take it easy for a bit and if I couldn't shake it off pretty quickly I would just call it a day and reschedule the run. Well, it only took a few minutes to recover,except for my hand, but I could eventuall bend my fingers so I finished the run. It was a beautiful sunrise and I felt so lucky to be alive and out enjoying it.
The thought ocurred to me this morning that if I were running the marathon in early October, I'd be starting taper right now. But I also realized that I would have had two really long runs in the heat, so I'm glad I decided to throw in the towel on the October race and settle for a November Marathon. I got through a 20 mile and a 23 mile run training for October, then pulled back and have now run 12, 14 and 16 and have felt much more comfortable. I plan to do three more long runs of up to 20 miles each. If I feel strong I may push the third one a bit farther, but I'm not going to stress about the miles. Listen to the body, listen to the body, listen to the body!
Good luck to all of you running the Chicago Marathon in a few weeks. May all enjoy wherever your runs take you.
Nancy - so glad to have you back!! Congratulations on your AG win! It's a good thing!! I've done Bikram. Sweat like a pig and kept sliding on the mat because it was wet, which I believe is counter productive to having a mat so I avoid it. I have a cousin and some younger friends (in their 20s) who *love* it but in truth none of them have stayed with it more than 6 mos. Try it! Then if you decide to commit, there is a new book on some of the dangers of extreme yoga and how to protect against them.
Tony - You have been such a consistent and devoted training machine. I can't wait to see the payoff you get in your race. Nice when I see you all acknowledging your other half's support. I was dating at the beginning of 2012 pretty seriously and he felt neglected and moved on. I sensed it was happening and made a conscious decision that I couldn't do both and the training came first. If training is so time and energy consuming that it kills a new relationship, when folks are trying harder to impress each other, it must be wreak havoc on a settled one.
MD - AF registration opens in January 2013. The HM didn't sell out this year until May so jump on it but don't sweat being able to get a spot. Every year the medal has a different plane.
Sue - Glad to hear your marathon training went so well!! Enjoy your taper and have a fan-tas-tic race!!
Marie - Hope you figuratively got back back on track this week!! One of the guys in the running group I coach has achilles problems also and has gotten some relief from stretches but he's really babying it. Achilles tendon pulls must be really painful. Hope it isn't still bothering you. Thanks for the pic and story of Ed Whitlock. I'll send it to my doctor, before I fire him.
Doc - Sounds like you have a good solid plan. I started in that way, also and discovered you can work on your speed and build a solid 5k race result or you can build on your distance. So, moving on to 10k is not the only option.
Ray - Is that a worn spot on your one shoe? I'd bet you go through a lot of those, being so close to the ground. Hope your races turn out great! Columbus is coming and I still need to make arrangements for a room. If I can't get any closer, I'll stay near the airport. Will you be running the full or half?
Urun - It's a shame about the fall. Nice rebound, though. There are baseball caps out this season with 4 LED lights built into the brim. Bought one for $30 and I expect to get a lot of use out of it. "Listen to the body, listen to the body, listen to the body!" So True!!!
The cool weather is so refreshing!! Hudy 14k this morning. The course went through some of the most neglected areas of the city. I criticized Cleveland but the roads here were just as bad but there was a reason. We toured past 14 old brewerys that are either closed or reclaimed and ended at a new one. The medal has a bottle opener on it. Love! It was a relatively easy run with a very fast group. I was really happy with my race. had my best time, 1:59 for 9.03 m., faster than last week's race, and no major joint or muscle pain. I was run/walking 1:1 with a 12mm pace for the first four miles but tired after m.8. There was a slow hill, must have taken five min. to run/walk, so I switched to 30:30s and was able to run the last two min to cross the finish. That might be a first!! Maybe on the mend?? Or, running is just easier in this beautiful weather. There were only 1,500 or so finishers and 80 some F 60-64. I was 50/80. Kinda amazing! I would had to have avg pace under 10 min to make the top three.
Enjoy your runs out there!!

URun- Glad you weren't hurt any worse on that fall. Even with a light it can be tough at night; just not enough light to give good definition and detail to see those small things that trip us up.
Mary Kay-good job on your 14K!
2 1/2 day conference in Nashville and driving there and back put a crimp on running this week. I did get in 3 miles while down there, running around the perimeter of the Opryland complex. The weather was mild today after church, 55 and breezy, so I ran a slow but enjoyable 5 miles in the late morning. This week I'll try to get back in the groove and then try a long run Friday or Saturday to see if the full marathon is even an option for 10/21.
Run strong and safe this week friends.

Mary Kay: Well done on your 14K. Your pacing strategy is working well. Did you get beer afterwards?
I took it easy last week after my HM, just some healthclub workouts and treadmill walking with hills. Fall is starting for real here in Chicago, so we're seeing lows in the 40s and highs in the upper 50s/low 60s, good running weather.
Everyone have a good week of training and preparing for upcoming races. This is a great time of year to be a runner in the midwest.

Dan~FULL MARATHON!?!? It looks like I have some major catching up to do. Congratulations on your first HM!
It has been 7 weeks since my last confession......errr, post! Since the Active email notifications stopped and my crazy fall schedule I haven't had a chance to check in. After reading pages of true inspiration. I just have to say BRAVO to all of you!! You made it through a summer of scorching temps, injury, surgery, heart-break and dissapointments, but you all kept moving forward. You are worthy of the title, "Mighty Masters"!
Ran the inagural Brewers Mini Marathon starting and finishing at beautiful Miller Park on Saturday. Very happy with my time of 2:24:22, almost 7 minutes better than my first HM in May. Very well organized event with live music on the route, incredible voluteer support and the famous Klements Racing Sausages! Will try to post a full RR later.
Run strong, friends!
Brewers Mini Marathon race report
The 7am start was delayed 30 minutes to allow a severe weather system to pass through. Temperatures were in the mid 40s and moved to the high 50s at race end. WNW winds at 15-20 mph, gusting to 30 mph. Decided to wear a long sleeved tech t-shirt, went with a running skirt w/ compression shorts vs. capris, hat and sunglasses to keep rain and wind out of my eyes and the Brooks PureFlows on my feet..
Ran the race with a friend who encouraged me to begin running 2 years ago. She is much younger (31) and faster (8:20 pace) than I, but was coming off a season of hamstring and hip flexor issues. My "gentle" pace was a good match for where her training is at present. It was great to have a buddy to converse with, encourage one another and enjoy the route together.
At my urging we line up with the 2:30 pace group at the starting corral located at the Home Plate entrance to Miller Park. It took us exactly 6 minute to cross the start line, and we began out 13.1 journey. The rain had decreased to a drizzle and by the time we reached the 3 mile marker it had stopped. The route took us from Miller Park east through the Menomonee River valley to the new Harley-Davidson Museum, then returning west traversing the viaducts over the valley back to Miller Park. Feeling strong at mile 3, we decided to pass the 2:30 pacer and move up to the rear of the 2:20 group.
Several live bands were scattered along the route - nothing like the Rock-n-Roll series, but it was great to hear a wailing saxophone and occasional guitar riff for motivation. The Klements Racing Sausages were line up at near the Miller Brewery aid station for high-fives!
Used Hammer Raspberry gel at 45 minute intervals at mile 4.5 and 8.25, and 3/10 water stations at mile 4.75, 9 & 12. Taking brisk walk breaks at each.
Part of the final mile was entering Miller Park and running the warning track to the cheers of family & spectators inside. What a thrill! Video of the runners were projected on the HD scoreboard. Is that the Grand Canyon - NO, it is all the laugh lines on my face. Argh! Could have done without that, but my friend looked fabulous. Exited the stadium via a carpeted ramp and out of the stadium for the final 1/4 mile and finish. Time was 2:24:22 and 28/53 in my division.
I felt strong to the end. I guess all of the training miles in the heat/humidity this summer had paid off. Big hug from my DH who biked most of the route. Great post race party w/ an awesome finisher's medal, great band, pulled-pork sandwiches and a cup of Milwaukee's favorite beverage. Good times! Home to an extended session with the foam roller, hot bath and celebrate with dinner at my favorite French bistro.
Recovered the following day with a 15 mile bike ride and walking 4 - 6 miles each day since. Hope to run this race again next year. I second Steve's statement, I feel blessed to be healthy and able to do this.
Run strong, friends!
Debra! Congratulations on your Mini Marathon and new PR!!!
Marie! Great picture and you do look strong and fresh! I have the blue Gymboss and Love it!
Tony!! Enjoy Taper!!! Remember the first rule of tapering is DO NO HARM!!! Even though you may feel like getting out and doing a longer or faster run...DO NOT DO IT!!! Arrive at the start line healthy and rested! I cannot wait to hear about your Marathon! You are so right..A full marathon is a totally different animal from a Half Marathon.
Mary Kay! Congratulations to you on your HM and also to STEVE on your 3rd place finish in your AG!
Everyone else is doing awesome also! To many pages to go back and read, but you are all AWESOME!!!
As for me...I have been running alot, playing with grandkids alot and traveling with my husband alot! I have missed a couple of long runs and I do not regret them. We also have lives outside of running.

Debra: The Brewers Mini-Marathon sounds like a fun race. I live 50 miles NW of Chicago, so I'm not too far from Milwaukee. I might look into it for next year. I know this was its first year, but how many runners were there? Also, did you park at the stadium? Is the route flat or are there some hill sections? Since our paces seem to be similar, it would be more fun to run with someone, especially if your friend regains her faster pace by next year.
mimiisarunner: You are right that family comes first. Keep running to stay healthy so they have you around for a long time.
Nine miles yesterday morning in mid-50s temperatures. I made the mistake of wearing a black long-sleeved top under a bright green t-shirt; after a few miles the sun came out and I wished I had worn my arm warmers instead so I could have pushed them down to my wrists. I'm learning to take tissues with me since I tend to get congested by three or four miles. Probably five or six miles tomorrow and maybe another longer run over the weekend.
Bears vs. Cowboys next Monday night. If the Bears win, I might start to think they are for real.

Debra- Way to go on the mini-marathon. that does sound like lots of fun-and on my birthday too! My wife and I love to have a reason to spend a weekend in Milwaukee. That may be one to put on my schedule for next fall. The run through the valley sounds fun, and finishing through the stadium sounds like a blast. I hear you on the jumbotron picture!! The look on my face when I finish a race is not made for HD big screen. lots of reasons for the hoped for marathon on 10/21; I'll send you a note explaining.

When I got home, my feet were sore, which surprised me because they didn't hurt when I was running and they've never bothered me before. Then, the discomfort (wouldn't really call it pain) moved up to my knees, again which didn't bother me during the run, but they responded nicely to a couple of ice packs. That night and into the next day my hips started to get sore, and they responded well to some foam rolling and ibuprofen. Since it seemed that everything was moving upward I was half expecting a headache, but luckily that didn't happen and I had a good 5 mile run last night. The first 1/4 mile last night I felt a little like the tin man, all sore and creaky, but warmed up pretty quickly.

The head of UPAC said the seven are accused of working together to break laws around election financing and the awarding of government contracts to obtain unfair advantage.
Was the Charbonneau commission a frustrating disappointment or did it deal a blow to corruption? Depends which whistleblower you ask.
A look at what the Charbonneau report says about some prominent witnesses, groups.
Here's a look at what has happened to a selection of the witnesses since the Montreal inquiry ended its hearings in November 2014.
Lino Zambito was sentenced to two years less a day by Quebec court Judge Paul Chevalier, who accepted a joint recommendation by the Crown and defence for a community sentence.
During this long-running reality show, certain witnesses achieved star status while others quickly faded from memory, underscoring the importance of performance in the court of public opinion
The long wait is nearly over. Starting Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m., the Charbonneau Commission — and Quebecers who choose to tune in — will hopefully begin getting answers out of a man who for years has staunchly refused to provide them.
The Charbonneau Commission has officially wrapped for the summer.
Former Quebec cabinet minister Nathalie Normandeau, who will be the next witness at the Charbonneau Commission, is probably best remembered for accepting 40 long-stemmed roses and Céline Dion tickets from now-disgraced construction boss Lino Zambito in 2008. But in her native Gaspé region, Normandeau's name still evokes pride in the small-town girl who rose from modest origins to become one of Quebec's most powerful politicians.
Before he reached the top of the Mafia in Canada, Nicolo Rizzuto owned a construction company that won municipal contracts in Montreal. The late patriarch of one of the world's most powerful Mafia clans was a municipal contractor 50 years before the authorities decided to investigate whether organized crime had a hold on the construction industry and public contracts in the province, The Gazette has discovered through an examination of municipal archives, and business and real-estate records from half a century ago.
A look at seven of the biggest players to hit the limelight this year
The city of Montreal is going to sue individuals and construction firms who admitted to corruption before the Charbonneau Commission and try to seize the homes of civil servants who transferred their houses to family members to avoid just such a possibility.
Lino Zambito has filed for personal bankruptcy, owing more than $1.1 million to insurance companies - and $40,000 to his mom.
Philippe Couillard has moved to quash a controversy created by his statement that former cabinet minister Nathalie Normandeau would be welcomed back in the party.
The door to Montreal's city manager's office seems to be a revolving one. Guy Hébert, who quit his job as city manager Monday evening after it was revealed he tried to have Montreal police chief Marc Parent replaced, is the fourth person to abruptly leave the post since 2006.
This week's Charbonneau Commission testimony deserves extra attention because it contains the most disturbing disclosures yet.
The city of Montreal awarded roadwork contracts that called for repaving some parts of Notre Dame St. E. three times within eight years, a Gazette investigation has found.
Testimony by an investigator that city hall officials ignored repeated reports about corruption is perhaps the most staggering heard so far by the Charbonneau Commission.
Quebec's permanent anti-corruption unit is coexisting "very well" with the province's ongoing public inquiry into corruption in the construction industry, says one expert, but the two still need to be careful not to step on each other's toes.
Michel Lalonde's engineering firm gave tens of thousands of dollars to provincial political parties between 1998 and 2009, but all of the donations were — at least on the surface — completely legal.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
Okay, in this section, we're going to take a look at mastering and addressing sonic maximization, or trying to make sure that we have the best sonic profile for a mix possible. That means we want to look at a few things. We want to check out, ultimately, the final output volume. We want to look at the dynamic range, or how loud the loudest parts are in relationship to the quietest parts, and see if there's a way we can compress that a little bit to get a little more volume out of the overall mix. And also we want to look at the frequency distribution, or make sure that it's not too base-heavy a mix, or may be missing out on some treble, or there's some strange spike where somehow we mixed one of the guitars and it's really pushing one frequency a lot more than the rest of the frequencies.
We want to try and make sure that all the frequencies are kind of heard evenly, not per instrument, but the overall mix. So let's start by just taking a look at what we've got frequency-wise. The first thing I like to do actually when I do mastering is take a look at the volume of the initial file. This is my mixdown file from the session, and I usually label those with a little PM at the end of the title. The way I like to use that is that it stands for Pre Master, so I know kind of what state this file is in. It hasn't been mastered yet, but it's a mixdown before it's been mastered. Simple enough.
You can come up with any little notes you want for that. That's not some sort of industry standard. That's just something I do, and it helps me keep my files organized. Let's go ahead and play this track back a little bit and just see what the maximum volume peaks we're getting. (Audio playing.) So that looks about the loudest part in the song based on the waveform, and you can see it's not that loud. We've got some dB to go there. So I'm going to go ahead and to get things started, just go ahead and normalize this.
The Normalize option, and I'm going to normalize it up to just -1 dB, and let that go ahead. I'm going to undo that for one second. I should mention that I always like to make a new copy of the piece I'm working on for each stage or each step that I add to the file. So here's my original file. Now, I am going to make this my normalized file.
That way you can kind of track the progress, visually, of what's going on and then easily click in A-B from one file to the next. It's nice to be able to note your progress. So, I've normalized this, and now our loudest peak should be a lot closer to digital 0. (Music playing.) Looks good. So now I'm going to take a look at the frequency distribution of this song. So I've loaded up a plug-in that will show the frequency of the whole track, so let's just take a look at how the frequency lines up here.
We'll start somewhere in the middle because I know that at the beginning, there's a bit of an intro. I'm mostly concerned with the body of the song. (Music playing.) Like EQs, we're looking from left to right, the different frequency range, and the volume. (Music playing.) So it's pretty easy to see the trend here. We've got quite a bit of low- end and then not so much high-end. So I want to go in and try and even that out. I kind of want to have as much high- end representative as I do low-end.
So we'll go ahead and open up a multi- band compressor, and I'll also use this in the AudioSuite, or at file level. This is a Dynamics device. We use it in Stereo mode, and a multi- band compressor's very cool because as the name implies, it's a compressor and so when things go beyond a certain threshold, it turns them down based on a ratio. It works with their dynamics. It also let you set different ranges, or different bands that the compression is sensitive to in relationship to frequency.
So, you'll notice we have the frequencies here, like we would an equalizer, and then the amount of boost or gain. So, with our track, well let's just send her through, take a listen, and we'll see where it starts to boost. So this is a flat scenario. As you would expect, there's a lot more low-end in this track. So we're seeing a lot more reduction of the low-end frequencies and not so much in the high-end frequencies. (Music playing.) So I want to use this and try and go ahead and even out some of the frequencies in this song.
So I'm going to go ahead and actually load up a preset that we used, which looks pretty extreme, and I'm going to say that this is sort of extreme for example purposes. And when you start to work with these things, you'll find that you work in terms of increments, and this is sort of an extreme amount of effect to be putting on at this point. But for demonstration purposes, it'll reveal what happens. So we're going to go ahead and highlight this, and we'll make another copy, so we can visually scope out the difference. Then we'll go ahead and processes this, and bring down the Output volume a little bit, since we're doing so much to crank it.
We're going to render this multi-band compression at the file level to this file. All right, we are going to go ahead and try that again. So we've got to make a few adjustments. Obviously, we are a little too hot on that. So we're going to try not - we can't boost those high as that much. We've got to spend a little bit more energy on cutting some of these lows. As you can see, we clip by pushing those up too much. So let's go for it again.
Hopefully, there'll be success for us. So, let's take a look at this new output in the frequency meter and see what we have got. I'll just grab that center section. (Music playing.) So we can see it's a little more even. We're definitely getting more of the midrange and we brought the base down a little bit. Different mixes kind of require different degrees of compression. With this one, I know that the intent was to have kind of that low-end thump thing, and we just want to make sure that there's enough high-end and midrange so that it's all audible.
So I think by listening back, we can tell that it's close enough. (Music playing.) And again, with all these plug-ins, it's easy to kind of watch and look and see if it's okay. But a lot of times, you also want to just listen and double check with your ears. In fact, that's one thing you should probably be listening as much as you're looking when you doing things like mastering. I'm going to go ahead and normalize this again and bring it back up. We'll grab the old AudioSuite > Normalizer, quickly make it loud again.
That's good enough. Now we're going to try and limit this a little bit in an attempt to squash some of those peaks so that we can turn it up yet again. So let's just compare. (Music playing.) Here's our initial, and here's where we are now. (Music playing.) You can hear it's brighter and a bit more full. So what I want to do is I'm going to open up another plug-in for dynamics and we're going to do a little bit of limiting.
Limiting, if you recall, is like compression, only it's a hard ceiling, meaning that once you hit the threshold, you're turned back down. So I'm going to say by setting this, everything that goes above -4 dB, we're going to mush, and then we're going to move the whole file up to a -1 output. So here we go, and we'll notice this will turn - this will flatten out a little bit.
So we've expanded the file, we've mushed it, and then we made the whole thing louder. So let's go ahead and take a look at this, or listen, rather. Here's what we had. (Music playing.) Here's what we have now. (Music playing.) So you can see the difference in the amount of volume we have and the amount of constant volume. So here's my initial mix. (Music playing.) I like to call this kind of soft mastering.
If you take this stuff to a pro, what they'll do goes way beyond what we're doing here, but this is something you can do with what's available in the plug-in world. So here's the A-B. Sorry, I interrupted myself. (Music playing.) Now that might not sound like a whole lot on the movie you're watching, but if we were to be sitting in the studio, I'd feel like, wow it's four times louder, and it's way more in-my-face and that sounds pretty good.
So, mastering can kind of do that for you. You can kind of push things way up to the front and give you maximum volume. At the same time, it's possible to kind of master or compress the life out of a piece of music. So you don't want to just apply this stuff and mush it and smash it so it just looks like a big block of a waveform. You want to make sure that what you're doing works with the music you're working with. So you want to make it louder, you want to make it closer and a little bit more compressed, but you don't want to sacrifice the integrity of what you're making, or the character of the recording that you think is appropriate. In the next movie, we'll take this mastered file and trim the edges a little bit and get it ready for the world.

I was really suspicious by this time as I have been scammed once before . I got right on the internet and typed in Universal Rewarsds & Trust Co. andi low and behold was reading a rippoff report on how some one else had re3cieved this same letter and same amount of check and was also scammed out of $000 plus amount of money.
So I really appreiceate some one taking the time to seach on line and report this as I would have been amoung the ripped of people had I not found this report on line. I very much appreicated finding information that saved me from being pulled into this very misleading aand cruel scamm. Thank You from the bottom of my heart and may God richly bless you for your willingness to file a ripp off report.

|Impact of micro- and nanograzers on phytoplankton assessed by standard and size-fractionated dilution grazing experiments

|Grazing by microzooplankton is typically assessed by dilution experiments of the whole natural community. However, in many ecosystems these experiments actually include not only micrograzers but also nanograzers. We discerned the relevance of micro- and nanograzers under contrasting trophic situations in the coastal NW Mediterranean throughout a seasonal cycle. We measured the grazing upon total, <10 μm, and >10 μm chlorophyll a in 11 standard dilution experiments. We also conducted simultaneous dilution experiments with the <10 μm planktonic community, to assess the potential impact of <10 μm grazers when released of predatory pressure by larger consumers. From September 2005 to May 2006 the microbial grazers consumed less than half of the total phytoplankton production. From June 2006 and for the whole summer period, the grazing on total phytoplankton increased, ranging from 76 to 104% of the primary production consumed per day. On annual average, microbial grazers consumed 56% of the total primary production. Grazing on <10 μm phytoplankton was very variable, from not significant (January and March) to >100% of the primary production consumed daily in July and August (the average impact for the whole study period was 58%). Grazing impact on >10 μm cells was very low, only significant in 5 out of 11 experiments (average impact of 23% of the >10 μm primary production consumed daily, range 23 to 71%). When the entire microbial community was size-fractioned by 10 μm, the potential impact of <10 μm nanograzers was evident for most of the year, although during the spring the differences between the impact on phytoplankton <10 μm measured in these experiments and in standard (unfiltered) dilutions were higher. During the warmer months (July and August) the size distribution of the grazers' community slightly shifted towards <10 μm organisms (72 to 88% of the biomass of grazers were <10 μm cells). Heterotrophic flagellates stood out as very relevant grazers in this system. In summary, the data suggest that the coastal NW Mediterranean is a system in which microzooplankton (>10 μm organisms) weakly control the primary producers during the cold season (winter and most of the autumn), switch to nano-sized heterotrophic prey during spring, partially suppressing the impact of this group on phytoplankton, and finally are replaced by nanograzers during the warmer months (end of the summer period), heavily impacting the dominant small primary producers.
