#DadTaughtMe: Competition Winner
For Father's Day, we asked you to share what your father taught you by finishing the sentence "Dad taught me. ..."
We received some great responses demonstrating how your fathers have impacted your lives, whether it was advice, a loving saying or a life lesson.
Here are some favorites: Continue reading "#DadTaughtMe: Competition Winner" »
Father's Day Competition: Dad taught me…
One of my first memories of my dad was his teaching me how to dance by standing on top of his feet. We twirled, jumped and burst into fits of laughter as we glided across the room. At my wedding many years later, the father-daughter dance brought back these great childhood memories.
Fathers, grandfathers and step-fathers teach us many things. Whether it's an important life lesson, how to dance, ride a bike or being a source of wisdom, they are essential to our upbringing.

Father's Day: Memories and advice
Fathers are monumental figures in our lives and are known for giving great advice. The 17th-century poet George Herbert said that "one father is more than 100 schoolmasters."
Father's Day is a celebration honoring dads, granddads and paternal bonds, and in honor of the day we want to know how your dad made an impact on your life by participating in our competition (see details below.)
The day has American roots and was founded in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd.

What a finish, huh?
Trevor Bayne became the surprise winner of yesterday's Daytona 500, adding to a proud tradition of part-time drivers to win the Great American Race. At the same time, he also became just the second driver in the Modern Era to win in his second career start. The other? Last year's winner, Jamie McMurray.
So, what have we learned from yesterday's race, and how will it apply to the rest of the season? Read on:

For the record, she'll be rooting for the New England Patriots. But before Paula Abdul, 42, can relax at Sunday's big game against the Philadelphia Eagles, she'll play host to the winner of Ameriquest Mortgage's halftime sneak preview contest in Jacksonville, where Paul McCartney will perform. PEOPLE recently caught up with the football-loving American Idol judge and quizzed her about that other ratings juggernaut: her FOX reality show.
If you were to try out for Idol, how would you do?
I'm glad I don't have to. ... It's grueling. It's like taking master's classes in singing and performing. It's unbelievable the amount of pressure that is put on these contestants – emotionally, artistically – it's immense.
How would you deal with Simon?
Simon represents the disapproving dad, I represent the nurturing mom, and Randy is just the cool brother to have, and we are part of America's cultural dysfunctional family. And if you look at it that way, that's what makes the show very successful. I keep the dream alive, Simon will crush that, and Randy's the perfect middleman.
But if Simon criticized you ...?
I would have to remind Simon, "What instrument is it that you know how to play?"
What song would you sing for tryouts?
I would never pick a song because it might be that judge's favorite, or a song that would compare me to any other artist. You pick a song first and foremost that gives you the best shot at sounding your best, that allows you to hit tender high notes and rich low notes.
Do the judges hang out together off the set?
We do sometimes, but I try not to be anywhere near the antics of male-bonding night and, like, not to be around for the wrap-up, (the) "let's re-enact what happened the night before." I like to wear a dress on occasion to remind them that I am still of the female gender and I don't need to hear it.
But you all get along?
Simon and Randy can sometimes forget that I'm not the brother. Sometimes I have to look between my legs and make sure I'm not growing something in between to remind myself. But I wouldn't take it any other way. I absolutely love those guys.
Finally, we have to know: What's your personal crowning sports moment?
My best friend (and I), we were junior high school and high school paddle-tennis champions. ... She always provided comic relief to the point where she never felt like she succeeded unless she made me pee in my pants. And all I remember is, we'd win and I'd pee in my pants because she'd make me laugh so hard.
Paula Abdul

What weather will winter bring? Some people think they have the answer to that: Forecasters at the Farmers' Almanac, the Old Farmer's Almanac and the federal government's Climate Prediction Center are all weighing in on it.
The 2011 issue of the Old Farmer's Almanac, which claims to be the nation's oldest continuously published periodical, was released Tuesday. It predicts that in the coming months, the Earth will continue to see a "gradual cooling of the atmosphere … offset by any warming caused by increased greenhouse gases."
Whatever. The important bit for us is they say the West will see a mild winter with average precipitation. Sounds good.
But wait, the Farmers' Almanac sees a winter with lots of precipitation from lower Texas across the South: "Basically we're saying it's going to be an ice cold sandwich," Managing Editor Sandi Duncan said. "We feel the middle part of the country's really going to be cold — very, very cold, very, very frigid, with a lot of snow. On the East and West coasts, it's going to be a little milder."
The almanacs' forecasts are, not surprisingly, at odds with the Climate Prediction Center's long-range outlook for the meteorological winter, which runs from December through February.
Mike Halpert, deputy director of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md., said the weather service is calling overall for warmer-than-normal temperatures across much of the country because of
an El Nino a La Nina, weather system that has developed in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
Indeed, for the Houston area, the NOAA December-January-February forecast sees above-normal temperatures and below-normal rainfall.
Nevertheless, Janice Stillman, editor of the New Hampshire-based Old Farmer's Almanac, said, she's confident about her publication's weather predictions because they tend to be 80 to 85 percent accurate — the same accuracy rate boasted by the Maine-based Farmers' Almanac.
Last year's Farmers' Almanac predicted Texas' winter would be colder and wetter than normal (correct). And last year's Old Farmer's Almanac said winter would be colder than normal (check) with less precipitation (incorrect, if we're talking snow, and we are).

2008 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize awarded to Mexican reporter Lydia Cacho Ribeiro
The Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, today designated Lydia Cacho Ribeiro, a freelance reporter based in Cancun, Mexico, as the laureate of the 2008 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize, on the basis of the recommendation of the international jury of the Prize.
Joe Thloloe, President of the jury of 14 professional journalists and editors from all over the world, and Press Ombudsman of the Press Council of South Africa, explained the choice of this year's laureate:
"Members of the jury were impressed by the courage of Lydia Cacho Ribeiro as she continues to expose political corruption, organized crime and domestic violence in the face of death threats, an attempt on her life and legal battles. For me, a journalist who knows the antagonistic environment in which he or she operates and continues to do the right thing by keeping readers, listeners or viewers informed about their society deserves recognition for their contribution to freedom of expression around the world. Lydia Cacho is such a laureate."
The Director-General will hand over the Prize to Ms Cacho in a ceremony to be held on World Press Freedom Day, 3 May, in Maputo. This year, UNESCO will be marking the Day in the capital of Mozambique, where it will also host a conference on access to information.
Born in 1963, Ms Cacho is a contributor to the daily newspaper La Voz del Caribe. Through investigative journalism, she uncovered the involvement of businessmen, politicians and drug traffickers in prostitution and child pornography. In 2006, Ms Cacho reported on the violent death of hundreds of young women in the northern Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez.
Ms Cacho has been the target of repeated death threats because of her work. Her car has been sabotaged and she has been the victim of police harassment. In 2006, she was awarded the Francisco Ojeda Award for journalistic courage and in 2007 the Amnesty International Ginetta Sagan Award for Women and Children's Rights.
Created in 1997 by UNESCO's Executive Board, the Prize is awarded yearly to honour the work of an individual or an organization defending or promoting freedom of expression anywhere in the world, especially if this action puts the individual's life at risk. Candidates are proposed by UNESCO Member States, and regional or international organizations that defend and promote freedom of expression.
The Prize is named after Guillermo Cano, the Colombian newspaper publisher assassinated in 1987 for denouncing the activities of powerful drug barons in his country.
Since its creation, the US $25,000 prize, financed by the Cano and Ottaway family foundations, has been awarded to the following laureates: Anna Politkovskaya (Russian Federation, 2007), May Chidiac (Lebanon, 2006), Cheng Yizhong, (China, 2005), Raúl Rivero (Cuba, 2004), Amira Hass (Israel, 2003), Geoffrey Nyarota (Zimbabwe, 2002), U Win Tin (Myanmar, 2001), Nizar Nayyouf (Syria, 2000), Jesus Blancornelas (Mexico, 1999), Christina Anyanwu (Nigeria, 1998), Gao Yu (China, 1997).

Parenting Makes you Say the Funniest Things.Casey Mullins
"It feels like…I'm growing bunny fur…on…my…chest…" Outside telling Cody it was time to go to the hospital until I said hi to my new baby this is really the only thing I remember saying. There's video of me saying other things and there's proof I said other things because somehow I registered at the hospital and I know Cody didn't help because he doesn't know my social security number and there's times I'm not even sure he remembers the year I was born.
Parenting has made me say some very strange things. One of the more memorable recent comments to my six year old was "It's very important to remember where you took off your pants." Now that I have another little lady in my life I can only imagine the combination of words that will come forth out of my mouth in the coming years.
After a bit of a medical scare Vivi was diagnosed with an immature digestive system, which basically means she not very good at pooping. It doesn't happen regularly and when it does…well, perhaps you're familiar with the term "poonami?"
Because I am.
Vivi has to lose a good half pound every time she manages to squeak one out. (Seriously, there's ACTUAL squeaking involved.) The most memorable "movement" of her life thus far was a 13 days after she was born. She hadn't had a bowel movement since leaving the hospital and things were getting serious. X-rays were taken and appointments were made with pediatric gastroenterologists. Vivi's bowels seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and managed to poop before we ever had to see any specialists.
I called my husband at work and shouted, "SHE POOOOOPED!!" Even Addie understood how important the poop was and praised her little sister for making such an enormous mess. That night at dinner Cody and I looked at each other from across the table and agreed that neither of us had ever prayed so hard in our entire lives, let alone for poop. Never had we been, nor ever will we be happier about poop in our entire lives. (And that's saying a lot given pregnancy backs me up like a overturned semi on a one lane highway during rush hour.)
Since becoming a parent my husband has used the word potty in front of the partners of his firm and I have discussed the finer points of nasal suction with the drive thru teller at the bank and we're only getting started, again.
So tell me, what are some of the more ridiculous things you've said since becoming a parent?

Greenwashing by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization
we conclude that the only pragmatic way to reverse climate change by 2017 as needed is to replace at least 25 percent of today's livestock products with better alternatives. Such alternatives can range from whole grains and legumes to an array of fancy vegan meat and egg substitutes made from such items as peas, sorghum, and beans. Continue reading

Eric & Suzy Thompson
Eric & Suzy Thompson have devoted their lives to the pursuit of weird and obscure old-time American music warped fiddle tunes in odd tunings, cinematic ballads, country blues songs that contain mysterious metaphors, early Cajun music with incomprehensible French lyrics and backwards chords. Theyve recently harvested a new crop of old music on their CD "Dream Shadows." Using fiddle, mandolin, guitars, Cajun accordion, banjo (and the occasional odd instrument such as the ten-stringed cuatro) they bring these early 20th century sounds right into the present day. Erics picking on guitar and mandolin is a model of tone and tastiness, and his relaxed, down-home singing evokes Mississippi John Hurt. Suzy is known for her bluesy fiddling (which appears on two of this year's best acoustic blues CDs, "Texas Sheiks" by Geoff Muldaur & the Texas Sheiks, and "Garden of Joy" by Maria Muldaur) and her strong, straightforward and soulful vocals. Suzy & Eric are the driving force behind the Berkeley Old-Time Music Convention, and are veterans of dozens of bands: Todalo Shakers, Any Old Time, Black Mountain Boys, Bluegrass Intentions, California Cajun Orchestra, and many more. In recent years, their musical collaborators have included Geoff Muldaur, Jim Kweskin, Jody Stecher, Del Rey, Laurie Lewis & Tom Rozum, Steve James, and Alice Gerrard, among others.

UNEP Launches Green Economy Initiative
22 October 2008: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has launched a Green Economy Initiative, which seeks to respond to the global economic downturn by focusing economic growth and job creation in environmental industries.
The initiative, which was launched on 22 October 2008, in London, UK, is funded by the European Commission, Germany and Norway. It builds on the G8+5 study on the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity, which emphasized the economic implications of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, as well as their link to poverty.
The US$4 million Green Economy Initiative will look to clean and rural energy and technologies, sustainable agriculture, ecosystem infrastructure, reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and sustainable cities to promote its priorities, which include valuing and mainstreaming nature's services, generating employment through green jobs and policy, and accelerating the transition to a Green Economy via instruments and market signals. [UNEP Press Release]

The cold war between Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff is finally over.
The two stars, who had a conflict dating back to 2002 when they simultaneously dated Aaron Carter, have been spotted hanging out lately. And their onetime feud, which Duff once called "silly," is all in the past.
"We are both adults and whatever happened, happened when we were young," Duff tells PEOPLE. "It's over."
In fact, the pair have been acting like bona fide BFFs recently. Last week, they were together at Hollywood club Teddy's, where they chatted, danced and, at one point, even kissed each other's hands. Later they dashed to the bathroom for a gossip session when Duff's ex Joel Madden arrived with Nicole Richie.
Lohan also showed up at the release party on Monday for Duff's new album, Dignity.
"She's really fun," says Duff of Lohan. "We were hanging out the other night and she's a nice girl."

Rule and Implementation Information for the Aerospace Industry
On November 19, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities.

Data Gathering
The following file provides facility-wide emission rates for each of the identified major and synthetic area or synthetic minor sources that submitted data in response to the 2011 data collection survey. EPA took total HAP emissions divided by total gallons of solids from all the material reported at each facility which provided us with lb HAP/gal solids. One approach to addressing all the emission points at aerospace sources is to pursue a facility-wide emission limit similar to what was done previously with Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products (PDF) (63pp, 413k) or Plastic Parts and Products (PDF) (55pp, 406k). This approach provided flexibility to each facility in those source categories that aerospace facilities may or may not feel necessary.

Electronic Components
We have received many questions regarding the definition of electronic components for the purposes of completing the information collection request (ICR) for the aerospace source category. The aerospace rule provided an exemption for electronic components but it did not provide a definition or guidance for "electronic component". Therefore, I suggest that facilities use their best judgment on what constitutes an electronic component. If you have a solid justification, that any reasonable person would accept, for the part or component being an electronic component then please do not report the activities associated with that part or component on the ICR. However, if you question whether or not it would be considered an electronic component then you should report the activities associated with that part or component.
Extension Requests
We have received numerous extension requests to the submission deadline for the Information Collection Request (ICR) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework. I have received approval from my management to provide the following relief for submission of data.
- April 4, 2011 Major sources must supply only the coating data specific to RTR (i.e., those coatings for which the Aerospace NESHAP provides specific emission limits) modeling needs (see table,Aerospace ICR April 4 2011 data requirements)
- May 4, 2011 Major and Synthetic Minor sources must supply all remaining data on the ICR

OAKLAND, Calif. - In the wake of the early morning police eviction of Occupy Oakland protesters from their encampments Oct. 25, confrontation between protesters and police came to a head in the early evening after protesters regrouped at the city's main library to march through the city.
After rallying on the library steps, a crowd of about 1,000 set out through downtown streets, with police blocking traffic for them. But what started as an energetic, loud and peaceful march soon took on a different character. Participants said as the march approached police headquarters, police pulled two people out of the crowd and arrested them. Marchers then surrounded the arresting officers, shouting, "Let them go!" As the crowd grew, police fired flash-bang grenades and tear gas. Observers said many officers had been splattered by paint, and some marchers had also thrown water bottles.
As the crowd veered toward the now-deserted campsite, near City Hall, police refused them entry, declaring the march an illegal assembly, and warning that they would use chemical agents. Several hundred protesters continued to surge through city streets, confronted with tear gas, projectiles and police batons. At least one protester, Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen, was struck in the head by a police projectile. Olsen was reported in serious but stable condition at Highland Hospital.
Police said a number of officers had been "assaulted, doused with hazardous materials and hit with large rocks and bottles" before the dispersal orders were issued.
The eviction of the Occupy Oakland campers has created significant controversy in the city, with Mayor Jean Quan, Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan and others citing major health and safety concerns, and others sharply criticizing the city's actions.
Soon after the eviction, the Alameda Labor Council posted a resolution on its web site, saying it "shares the outrage, frustration and resolve of the protesters, commits to the fight, and goes on record in support of the Occupy Oakland and the entire Occupy Wall Street movement." The resolution further backed protesters' right to peaceful assembly and opposed "any efforts to unreasonably evict protesters based on unsupported claims of public safety." It said the mayor and the City Council "are on the wrong side of history," and called on the city to drop charges against those arrested and restore the occupation.
The California Nurses Association/National Nurses United issued a similar statement, and theAsian PacificEnvironmental Network issued a petition calling on the mayor to stop police repression against the protesters.
The previous weekend, observers had called conditions in the camp good and improving. But some who stayed in camp overnight reported that drinking, drug use, sexual harassment and some violence did occur at night, with campers feeling they could overcome the problems.
Until a few days before the eviction, campers had rejected the idea of meeting with the city to work out an agreement. At that point the camp's general assembly said city officials could participate as individuals in the camp's consensus process.
Speaking on public radio station KQED Oct. 26, City Council President Pro Tem Ignacio de la Fuente pointed out that Mayor Quan "tried from the beginning to establish a dialogue" with protesters and to allow them to use the plaza during the day, and noted what he called "the infiltration" of people totally opposed to the police.
Others urged an emphasis on nonviolence, and pointed out that the clashes obscured the real reason for the occupation.
A protester interviewed on radio station KPFA said he felt participation in the demonstration would have been much better if people "would just stop throwing bottles at the cops. I understand frustration with the police. But what's throwing a bottle going to solve? Nothing. As soon as it's thrown, they gas everybody. If we could go one afternoon without gassing, we could fill up a three block radius around here."

Truth? We don't usually leave our houses let alone the state for games. But the thing we have come to realize is that their are Pens fans everywhere. We were going to have everyone email us bars and shit. But that would require us doing work. So, we'll leave it up to cblog. We'll put this post up in the title bar, and in cblog list some of your favorite places. That way we don't do any work, and some info gets out there. Woooooo p.s. you can post Pittsburgh bars too.

One of the holiest Buddhist sites in the country, Kyaiktiyo Paya draws large numbers of non-believers among its throngs of pilgrims, primarily thanks to its spectacular location. The small pagoda was built atop the Golden Rock, a boulder 15m in circumference, coated in gold leaf, which is itself perched on a larger rock; it's a pretty precarious-looking setup. The name Kyaiktiyo means "pagoda on a hermit's head", as it's supposedly kept in place by one of the Buddha's hairs, brought here by a hermit in the eleventh century who insisted it be enshrined in a stupa on a rock resembling his own head.
While the rock itself is impressive, getting up to it is a large part of the experience. The starting point is the town of Kinpun and the full 11km hike takes at least four hours. Most people shorten the walk by cramming into the back of an open truck; these leave Kinpun when full and take 45min to reach the Yathetaung terminal. The trucks cannot progress any further, and it takes around an hour to walk up to the top, a winding route that takes you past innumerable teahouses and souvenir stalls. It's even possible to be carried up by sedan chair (from K4000 each way).
Men can join the pilgrims beside the Golden Rock itself, and even add to its lustre (five sheets of gold leaf K1700), while women must stay a short distance away. Note that women are not supposed to wear trousers, shorts or miniskirts; men should also dress appropriately.
It's worth pressing on past the rock for fifteen minutes to reach Kyi Kann Pa Sat, where you can join locals throwing coins up onto a ledge for good luck. They don't see many foreigners on this side of the mountain.

The Matchup: New Jersey Devils at the Philadelphia Flyers. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quaterfinals. The Flyers lead the best-of-7 matchup 2-1.
The Last Game: Marty kept the Devils in the game and eventually got them to overtime but the Devils offense didn't do much to help out Marty and eventually Carcillo, set up in front of the net because who would actually pay attention to this guy as a bonafied goal scorer, punched in a trickling puck giving the Flyers a 3-2 victory in OT.
Thoughts About Tonight:
Must Win?: The Devils are in another "Must Win" situation in most peoples eyes. If the Devils walk away with a victory tonight, all of the sudden its a best-of-3 series with 2 games being played in NJ whereas if the Devils lose tonight, then we would have to repeat the 2000 Conference Finals, something I am sure Brian Boucher has never forgotten.
Devils Offense: Please show up!! The Devils top players were on the ice a lot on Sunday Night due to a high number of penalty calls. Parise played 20 mins, Zajac 21 mins and Kovalchuk 27 mins and combined the three of them accounted for 5 shots on net. Lemaire talked yesterday about how he wasn't thrilled with the top players performance on Sunday night. I actually think the top players, especially the line of Zajac/Langs/Kovy haven't been great all series, not just Sunday night. Which leads me right into my next dicussion about our captain Jamie Langenbrunner.
Langenbrunner: Once upon a time, I thought of this guy as Mr. Clutch. Watching the game on Sunday night, I found myself making comments directed at Jamie a few times. Comments like, "Captains play with emotion Jamie", "Way to give up on the puck Jamie", "Where's the $&#^@ leadership JAMIE??!!"
This is playoffs and its all about results and our captain doesn't have many results. In the years that Scott Stevens was this teams captain, results came in the way of defensive manuevers becuase he was a defenseman. I never expected Stevens to rush the ice with the puck and pop home a goal but I expected him to lead his team emotionally, which he always did. Sunday night I wonder about Jamie's locker room leadership because this team came out flat in the third period. A good leader gets their team up and ready to battle when you are on the road and playing in a tie game after 2 periods. He gets a pass for the OT because the Clarkson penalty did so much damage and it happened so early on is was hard to tell what emotional state the Devils were in.
Jamie's game and attitude have been on my radar since the issues that came up after he was a healthy scratch in Carolina so maybe I am being a little hard on him but the bottom line is that I expect certain things out of my captain and right now, in this series, #15 has been noticably absent from the picture.
Penalty Killing: Penalties are going to happen and in the case of Game 3, they may be called for the most minor of things and really alter the game but the Devils have to do a better job at killing off their penalties. In the 3 games played, they have been shorthanded 15 times and watched the Flyers score 4 times while up a man, including Carcillo's game winner in OT. Of the 16 teams currently playing, the Devils rank 12th overall in PK percentage…AWFUL!!
Marty Brodeur: Can you really ask him to do more? Honestly, I was getting frustrated with him letting in so many goals on what seemed like so few shots but I am really just being too hard on him. The guy has stepped up for these playoffs and he can't do it all by himself. He needs his offense to give him a few more goals and he needs his defense to stop letting the Flyers get so many pucks to the net. Did you watch Period 3 on Sunday? That game shouldn't have even gotten to OT because the Flyers were just coming and coming but thanks to amazing save after amazing save, the game did go beyond 60 minutes and it was all Marty Brodeurs doing, not his teammates.
Final Thoughts: Tonight, like Friday night is another huge game for the Devils. I have yet to see the Devils play what I feel is a great game and I know they are capable of it, I just hope wherever THAT team is at the moment, makes their way to the Wachovia Center tonight.
If you need a little inspiration to get pumped up for tonight's game, check out the video below..

I don't see any need to change your normal breakfast for a 5K unless you don't often run 5K.
How many carbs do you eat on a normal day?
I am competing in the 5K 53rd River Bank Run tomorrow.
What do you think would be the best breakfast?
I am thinking of making an avocado based smoothie...
*1 Avocado
*3 T hemp seeds
*1/2 scoop whey
*1/2 banana
*1/4 C blueberries
This is a lot of fat, about 25 g protein, and a fair amount of carbs. What do you guys think?
Last year I had a lot of pasta the night before the race and then I believe oatmeal in the morning. Since I am primal it will be VERY different
I don't see any need to change your normal breakfast for a 5K unless you don't often run 5K.
How many carbs do you eat on a normal day?
I usually do 3.5 miles in the morning with just a cup of coffee in me.
I ran my first 5k last weekend, and did a whey protein/banana/frozen pineapple smoothie two hours before.
Can't say that I noticed a difference between running on a tank of fuel or not.
If that is as carbed as you get, you'll probably burn it off during the race.
The best breakfast before a race, in my opinion, is no breakfast at all. When I ran my 10k, I skipped dinner and breakfast. I felt light as a feather and had energy to spare, which makes sense to me because digestion itself is metabolic drag. However, this probably works only to the extent that you've trained your body to burn fat instead of carbs.
Thanks for the input guys.
I average about 150 g of carbs a day - possibly a little less. I am on the verge of gaining weight. I weighed 130 about 2 weeks ago and I want to get to 150 by the end of the year.
I figured that sticking to what I normally eat would be ideal. I enjoy smoothies too so I may go with what I suggested. If I am hungry for an omelet and bacon then I will dive into that! We will see where my taste buds are when I wake up.
As far as me not eating anything... that is probably not a good idea for me. I have an absurd metabolism and must have fuel before a race. I will try your advice sometime Timothy - but not before a 5K race. It will be before a workout at home! Lol.
Almost forgot to mention -- good luck on the race, Dosenberry! I hope you have a wonderful time and let us know how it went.
It went great. The weather was not the best - 40 degrees with a 30 degree wind chill, and sprinkles. As far as time goes, it was my worst 5K race ever. It was the ninth one I have run in. I did 5 last year and 4 this year. I came in at 26:39 but it was almost on purpose. My main goal was to simply have fun. I did exactly that. I have a goal of breaking 20 minutes by the end of the year but I new I was not going to do that in the cold unless I wanted to almost kill myself.
So, I decided to run with my sister for the first 5 minutes and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then took off and weaved through hundreds of people for the next 5 minutes and then settled down at a steady pace. I was able to finish strong and sprint to the finish.
In the past I have been usually soar the next day. Not this time. I was able to lift heavy things the day after the race for the first time and I felt great.
Oh, and as we took off there were 2 dudes barefoot! Not even VFF... completely barefoot. I cheered them on and it was simply awesome. There should be great weather for my next race so I will go hard and shoot for around a 22-23 minute final. I am certain I will break 20 minutes this year. My record is 21:04.
Congrats, Dosenberry, sounds like you had a great time! Awesome that you paced with your sister for a bit. You make a very good point with your indifference to the time. Every race is not judged by how close you come to your PR. When the elements all line up just right, you're bound to break 20 minutes with ease.
Thanks for sharing your report!
A barefoot running forum is how I discovered this website.
It had an ad for mark's book and i ordered it, and here I am.
I ran barefoot before discovering pb. I think this race set a record for number of barefoot runners.? I think its the same race.
Jason Robillard has a barefoot running site. He's from michigan, Grand Rapids I think. I've run a couple of 5k barefoot in north dakota. you get a lot of looks.
The run I did is the biggest 25K run in the world. They also have a 5K, 10K. Total participants exceeded 22,000 with more than 6,000 competing in the 25K and more than 5,000 competing in the 5K.
Its HUGE. Even last year they had the most participants at only 18,000. So the growth was 4,000 in one year with not so great weather - wind chills in the 30s, rain.... crazy. I love the race.

About This Book
First published in 1843, this classic holiday ghost story remains a fabulous way to introduce young readers to one of the greatest authors in the English language. Kids may be familiar with the story, but they'll be surprised at its freshness when told in Dickens' own words and inimitable style.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a sour old miser who hates the holiday season more than anything. "Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart," he says. Scrooge would be perfectly happy if you can call it that to go on through life being nasty to everyone, but this Christmas a series of spectral visitors changes his mind. The first arrival is the Ghost of Christmas Past, who reminds him that he wasn't always in a perpetual bad mood: he shows him himself as a schoolboy, for example, and later as a young man in love. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present takes him to see how Bob Cratchit, his much-abused clerk, can find joy even in poverty, and how Fred, Scrooge's nephew, who has married for love, finds it in generosity. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come provides a frightening vision of how Scrooge's life will end if he continues on his present course. Waking after witnessing these nighttime scenes, Scrooge is a changed man, and immediately sets about mending his ways.
Perfectly structured, full of dry wit and heartfelt inspiration, and providing a healthy dose of horror to entice even reluctant readers, A Christmas Carol deserves a place on every classroom shelf.

Announced: forgotten future: W1
April 17th 2014 || by Creative Shop Music || 3 Comments
Release Date: 4-24-15. Preview on YouTube.
After some unexpected delays, [forgotten future: W1] is ready for its official release on April 24th! Physical album production is under way, and the interactive ff: w1 online experience is under testing. One week until availability on digital platforms, including 24-bit "studio quality" formats!
[forgotten future: W1] is being mastered by Robert Rich, dark ambient pioneer in Mountain View, California. After some debates and tests about bass content, we are both happy with the outcome. The album's extensive graphic design has been completed – ff W1 is expected to be released in a few weeks.
[forgotten future: W1] has been mixed at Studio CS and the sonics are currently being refined by Vincent Villuis at Ultimae Studio in Lyon, France. The album is expected to be released both in physical CD and digital formats in early 2015. Check back soon for more exciting news!
Julius' new album is nearing the mixing phase, which will take place throughout the Summer. Today, a short video showing the production of a new track was published on YouTube. The title of the new work was also announced as forgotten future: W1.
According to Julius, the psybient / ambient-electronic work "will be the conceptually most important release so far in my career". Be sure to check back often for updates and announcements about the new project.
SILICON VALLEY, CA / BUDAPEST, HUNGARY â Creative Shop Music has announced a planned 2013 release of a brand new concept work by composer Julius Dobos. The large-scale work in psybient / ambient-electronic style will encompass multiple album releases.
The composition and musical sound design process started in late 2009 and has been the main focus of Dobos since. The work is expected to be a reflection of Dobosâ philosophy about the relationship of Nature, Life, the Universe and music, touching on such intriguing subjects as the existence and relativity of space and time â expressed in music and sound. The first release in the series, while electronic in nature, will build on an organic feel and warm textures. The ambient yet rhythmically exciting music will feature lush soundscapes, complex, out-of-this-world sounds, haunting melodies, powerful emotions, instrumentation form minimal to grandiose, traveling through seven unique sonic landscapes.
The planned 2012 release date of the new work, which was first announced last year, has been delayed due to the relocation of Juliusâ studio, however the production is now at full steam at Studio CS. No further details or samples have been released, and the title of the work has not been made public either.
Be sure to check back often for announcements, or subscribe to the newsletter for the latest news.

I cannot wait for this album. Even if the rest of the tracks are half as good as this one, it will be just amazing!! I love that it's ambient, it's psy, it's melodic, it's rhythmic, and these are in such a perfect combination. And it has the build that most IDM music lacks.
I would like to thank you for putting this video out. It's cool to see Julius at creating his masterpiece. I wish there was more behind the scenes footage of him available. Very excited about Forgotten Future!

Weight loss is a metaphor. Respect yourself.
That seems like a casual thing to say, a little too easy knowing how many people struggle with their weight or the probably even more people who struggle with respecting themselves.
But I'll say this: that was how I approached my weight loss.
My training is as a writer. I went to film school at New York University, I trained in comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade and Magnet Theaters in New York City. One of the principle things you create in telling a joke or telling a story is to honor the things you've already said.
If I'm telling a joke and I say, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" and then after a pause I say "I went to Delaware," it might be funny because it's non sequitur, but it doesn't fulfill the expectation set up by the beginning of the joke – that we'll hear why the chicken crossed the road.
I seem to be going a long way from weight loss in talking about this, but consider this: just like when we create a story, the promises we make to ourselves in life find a way of disappointing us if we don't find a way to honor them in life.
My Turning Point
Courtesy Nick Feitel
Being in the spotlight on Bethenny's show helped to put that in perspective. Seeing a colleague, Jon Bander, losing 100 pounds gave me perspective. Realizing that I had the power to change my life was what allowed me to lose weight.
What if I honored the things I already knew I wanted?
Why do diets fail? I'm sure the number one reason is that people fear failure. Some people have metabolic problems or what have you, but most lack a powerful enough desire or will to commit to a plan, a diet, working out, a technique, any technique for losing weight, there are tons of viable ones. Your health, external validation, pressure from your parents or loved ones – these things will fail you in your weight loss unless you have an internal reason, a want to change, a want to respect yourself that overwhelms your self-hatred.
Because what I realized when I lost my weight was the joy, the pride of realizing that I had the power to change my life, myself. And if I had the power to change my weight, then what else? I had the power to change my posture and get fit doing yoga, I didn't have to be satisfied slouching. I had the power to be confident and act like I was worthy, because I had done something so hard. I had the power to ask a girl out on a date, to kiss someone in a bar, to ask for a job, to be a writer, an artist, to put myself to the world and be ready for rejection knowing I had worth.
So this is why weight loss is not the goal. Your life is a journey towards self-respect, towards seeing what you want and being cool with what you get. Weight loss and getting fit are wonderful means for this. But they can't be your end goal. Respect yourself and anything is possible.

1 Introduction
Three tanks are connected with two pipes. Each tank is initially filled to a different level. A valve in each pipe opens, and the liquid levels gradually reach equilibrium. Here, we model the system in MapleSim (including the influence of flow inertia), and also derive and solve the analytical equations in Maple.
Liquid inertia is significant for high liquid densities, high flowrates, and large pipe diameters. This will affect the flow dynamics in the coupled tank system, and can result in oscillating flow as liquid sloshes back and forth between the tanks.
Section 2 demonstrates the modelling approach in MapleSim, while Section 3 derives the analytical system equations. Section 4 offers download links for a Maple worksheet (which solves the analytical equations) and a MapleSim model of the system.
2 Modeling the Coupled Tank System in MapleSim
MapleSim's Circular Pipe simulates frictional pressure drop with Darcy's equation, but only applies to equilibrium flow. Flow inertia results in an additional pressure drop.
Consider one of the connecting pipes. The net force ΔF acting on the liquid in the pipe is given by Newton's Second Law.
These additional relationships also apply.
ΔP is the pressure drop across the pipe, A and L are the cross-sectional area and length of the pipe, ρ is the liquid density, and Q is the volumetric flowrate.
Substituting equations 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 into 2.1 gives the following equation for the pressure drop across the pipe due to fluid inertia.
This is the equation used in MapleSim's Fluid Inertia block. This block will be used to model the inertial effects of flow in the coupled tank system.
A pipeline with resistive and inertial properties can be modelled by connecting the Circular Pipe and Fluid Inertia components together, as demonstrated in Figure 3.
The total pressure drop is hence the sum of the frictional pressure drop and inertial pressure drop.
MapleSim does not have a tank component, but a simple model can be developed. The pressure at the bottom of the tank and the height of liquid in the tank are given by these equations
where g is the gravitational constant. Figure 4 demonstrates how equations 2.6 and 2.7 are implemented in a Custom Component.
The simple tank equations allow the liquid height to fall below 0 or rise indefinitely. A more complex model would limit the minimum and maximum liquid heights.
This is the completed tank component in MapleSim.
The top connector outputs the liquid height as a signal. The connector on the bottom right is a hydraulic connector, and has pressure and flowrate mapped to it.
The entire model can now be assembled in MapleSim like so.
3 Theoretical Analysis of Coupled Tank System
Consider the pipe connecting tanks 1 and 2. The pressure drop across the pipe is
where P1(t) and P2 (t) are the pressures at the bottom of tanks 1 and 2, V12(t) is the liquid velocity, f is the friction factor, ρ is the liquid density, Lp is the length of the pipe, and Dp is the pipe diameter. The term associated with f is the pressure loss due to friction.
At the pipe inlet at the bottom of tank 1, the pressure is
At the pipe inlet at the bottom of tank 2, the pressure is
Substituting equations 3.2 and 3.3 into equation 3.1 gives
If the mass of liquid in the pipe is m, the net force on the liquid in the pipe is
The force and the mass are also given by
Substituting equations 3.6 and 3.7 into equation 3.5 gives
Substituting equation 3.8 into equation 3.4 gives
Recasting equation 3.9 in terms of the volumetric flowrate gives
The cross-sectional area of the pipe is
Substituting 3.11 into 3.10 gives
Note the term associated with the frictional pressure loss. This should act in the opposing direction to flow. To model this, the equation is rewritten
A similar analysis gives the following equation for the flow between tanks 2 and 3.
The rates of change of liquid height in each tank are given by
where the cross-sectional area of each tank is A1, A2 and A3, and the liquid height in each tank is h1(t), h2(t) and h3(t).
Given a suitable set of initial conditions and parameter values, equations 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16 and 3.17 can be solved with Maple.
A correlation for f is needed; MapleSim uses the Haaland correlation.

Context Despite potentially curative resection of stomach cancer, 50% to 90% of patients die of disease relapse. Numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have compared surgery alone with adjuvant chemotherapy, but definitive evidence is lacking.
Objectives To perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of all RCTs to quantify the potential benefit of chemotherapy after complete resection over surgery alone in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival, and to further study the role of regimens, including monochemotherapy; combined chemotherapy with fluorouracil derivatives, mitomycin C, and other therapies but no anthracyclines; combined chemotherapy with fluorouracil derivatives, mitomycin C, and anthracyclines; and other treatments.
Data Sources Data from all RCTs comparing adjuvant chemotherapy with surgery alone in patients with resectable gastric cancer. We searched MEDLINE (up to 2009), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the National Institutes of Health trial registry, and published proceedings from major oncologic and gastrointestinal cancer meetings.
Study Selection All RCTs closed to patient recruitment before 2004 were eligible. Trials testing radiotherapy; neoadjuvant, perioperative, or intraperitoneal chemotherapy; or immunotherapy were excluded. Thirty-one eligible trials (6390 patients) were identified.
Data Extraction As of 2010, individual patient data were available from 17 trials (3838 patients representing 60% of the targeted data) with a median follow-up exceeding 7 years.
Results There were 1000 deaths among 1924 patients assigned to chemotherapy groups and 1067 deaths among 1857 patients assigned to surgery-only groups. Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a statistically significant benefit in terms of overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-0.90; P < .001) and disease-free survival (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.75-0.90; P < .001). There was no significant heterogeneity for overall survival across RCTs (P = .52) or the 4 regimen groups (P = .13). Five-year overall survival increased from 49.6% to 55.3% with chemotherapy.
Conclusion Among the RCTs included, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy based on fluorouracil regimens was associated with reduced risk of death in gastric cancer compared with surgery alone.
The inverse of the variance of observed events minus expected events measures the weight of each trial in the analysis. P values are from P-for-effect modification testing for heterogeneity within or across the groups of regimens. The sizes of data markers are proportional to the number of deaths in the trials. CI indicates confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.
The estimates of the survival curves use an actuarial approach as described in the Methods.

Fifty Not Frumpy!
During my 'people watching' episodes I frequently critique the fashion choices that women our age make. I can honestly say that a lot of women need help, and I mean serious help! The sights you see are just jaw dropping!
With so many lovely shops to shop at and so many nice reasonably priced clothes to buy – why or why do a large majority of us look like fashion tragics! Come on girls we maybe 50 something but we don't need to be frumpy!
My pet hates in the fashion stakes with women our age are:
- Big baggy clothing that women wear to hide their bulges and middle aged spread. It just makes them look fatter, older and frumpier!
- On the flip side, skin tight clothing that clings to every bulge and curve. For example, any clothing made from two way stretch fabric or jersey is a no no!
- Low rise jeans or pants are simply not flattering for women over 50. They give serious muffin top!
- Very short skirts or dresses. Leave them for the under 30's!
- Plunging necklines and see-through blouses or tops – also not a good look!
- Un-supportive or ill-fitting bras. No excuse for this at all!
- Really ugly shoes that maybe comfortable but look atrocious or rubber thongs (only ok for wearing to the beach)
- Hippy clothing – the less said about this the better!
- The 'try hards' who wear all the latest fashions even though they don't suit them.
- An over abundance of jewellery. I know you all have a massive collection of jewellery but that doesn't mean you have to wear it all at once!
So I guess the question is what do we wear that looks age appropriate but smart? I think you should stick to classical styles that fit well and don't be afraid to splash a bit of colour here and there. Good fitting jeans and pants always look good teamed with good quality t-shirts or tops. They say a pair of black pants are a wardrobe essential and can be dressed up or down according to the occasion.
A lbd (little black dress) is handy for more formal occasions. I really don't understand why more women don't wear dresses. I think they can hide a multitude of sins – like pot bellies, wide hips or big bums! Why not at least try some different styles on? You will be surprised as to how flattering a good fitting dress can be and it makes us look more feminine than always wearing pants.
I also believe that we can really go for broke with the accessories to brighten up our classical clothes. I love those chunky necklaces and bracelets in brilliant colours. Scarves look great too – there are so many beautiful ones in all colours and patterns. They can spruce up an outfit and cover up scrawny looking necks or conceal large breasts! A nice little handbag or clutch can always compliment an outfit too. I always get a lot of enjoyment out of accessorising clothing for a special occasion.
The problem with women our age is that our bodies have changed and we tend to put on weight around our mid sections. The majority of clothing is not designed for our more portly figures, so a lot of women tend to go for baggy or oversized clothing to disguise the extra baggage!
I am here to tell you that you can find more shapely attractive attire that will accentuate your figure rather than hide it away! Just take the time to look around at some of the clothing shops and you will discover a 'fashionfest' out there!
