I don't know enough about this topic to weigh in on it heavily but I do agree with Spare on this one...
I think common sense would dictate we stop using up so much fossil fuels, stop polluting so much. I mean we don't have to live in a tree house and never use toilet paper but i don't think it will hurt anyone, **** it might even help if we as a species take a little bit more care of the planet we live on.
I lived in L.A and I know what a **** hole a major city can be like and people just not giving a fuk and throwing **** all over the floor etc.
Then again we might all be dead in 2012 so maybe we should all drive 8 cylinder cars, pollute and not give a fuk because we will all be dead anyway...

However even if I were using inaccurate terms such semantic nit-picking is one of the premier weapons in the arsenal of the scientifically illiterate. The term for man-made climate change is "anthropogenic climate change and aggregate global warming" by the way.
"Aggregate" means that average global temperatures are increasing, though this can lead to localized cooling and other effects.
My argument on global warming is purely scientific. Yours is purely political. You already arrived at a conclusion ("if I want to drive a great big car then science is wrong") and you try and justify it. I took a sceptical position initially and was convinced by the wealth of evidence.
I am, however, of the opinion that most of the "feel-good" initiatives to counter climate change are pretty nonsense. You might enjoy reading The Skeptical Environmentalist" by Bjorn Lumberg, an economist who has done a cost-benefit analysis on things like Kyoto and found them wanting. His position is that it would be less expensive and more beneficial to put resources into dealing with the effects of global warming than it would be putting resources into trying to stop global warming altogether.
A far better approach than simply burying your head in the sand.

Man made global warming is one of those rats.. They hype alone is enough indication that something is not right..
I never post links.. because At the end of the day.. I don`t truly care what y'all think..And if you are REALLY open minded like you all say you are.. then I would hope you would peruse my claims to test their validity..( I doubt you do) .. But my opinions are not come to lightly.. I am not uneducated.. and I know how to research ANYTHING I don't understand..
I haven't come to this conclusion out of fancy..
One thing you can always be sure of.. "$$$$$$$$$$$$$" and Global Warming is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry..
And I repeat.. Look at what most people are willing to do for a weekly wage..
None of us have had an opportunity to be corrupt by outlandish amounts of money.. But based on what most of will do for few bucks.. I think Lying would be super EASY.. Now, if a Lie is being fueled by billions of Dollars, making it believable is simple.. Say something enough times and people will believe it.. That is whole crux of advertising.. and Hype is the Alpha form of repetitive advertising... Man Made Global Warming is seriously hyped
Here are some links.. just to show you.. that opposition exists .. and that the opposition is not the "Trailer Park Boys"..
and a **** load of Charts and graphs to back it up HERE
This is but one source of opposition.. the men are of science.. The data backs them up..
This alone should convince people that when it comes to Global Warming.. somebody is not telling the truth..
I stand by "beyond a reasonable doubt" before I say something absolute
When it comes to Global warming.. There is no CONCLUSIVE evidence to support it..
That is why I oppose it.. Not because I am some Neo Nazi Conservative
Abortion?... Her Choice.. and hers alone
Socialized Health Care?... Choice.. Take state run if you choose.. Go private if you choose.. GO private?? Still gotta pay your Public premiums
How's that For "Conservative" Squeal???????

Global Warming is just an excuse to let the government control the energy industry. Not to mention implement a cap and trade program that will generate huge tax dollars.
We are experiencing politicians who have never run a company of any size dictate how we build cars, generate power, and provide health care.
They do this by the illusion that things will be better if they run them. History shows that this is definitely not the case. Apparently we are a nation of slow learners.

There really is an educational or intellectual divide between people who think like the topic creator and people who think like Jack or Squeal. I find it amusing that the topic creator doesn't understand what he is being told and just rambles on with his original thoughts.

Hmm, I wouldn't go as far as you did Illuminato but there is no doubt that abortion is connected to population control. I am not a scientist, but the people that benefit from Global Warming "policy" are not people I trust.

Welter... I won't quote you so this isn't too long but here's my reply.
No offense, the first thing I did was check who runs the site you posted. It's Philip Atkinson, the man who made the case for George W. Bush to be president for life because of the "inadequacy of Democracy". Even the political right distance themselves from him.
Here you go, the article (bolded the crazy)
The IPCC has the single largest peer reviewed reports on global warming, period. It has also taken the data from scientists like Zbigniew Jaworowski ( meantioned in the website you posted ) and they disagree with his conclusions. In other words, Jaworowski proposed his results and it didn't stand up to peer review but his data collected was included and fits the model put forth by the IPCC.
Please, I'll direct you to the IPCC website. The reports are free to read. There is your "CONCLUSIVE evidence".

Eco-Products sells an amazing array of food related containers that are biodegradable. From trash bags, deli containers, to coffee cups, to cutlery, to slurpee cups. These corn based plastics are compostable and will degrade in 45 – 60 days in outdoor conditions.
I've used the forks and knives befoe at our neighborhood grocery, Sundance. I'd like to see more of the deli containers in use around town.

A pacemaker insertion is the implantation of a small electronic device in the chest (just below the collarbone) to help regulate electrical problems with the heart. When a problem develops, such as a slow heart rate, a pacemaker may be recommended to ensure that the heartbeat does not slow to a dangerously low rate.
The heart is basically a pump made up of muscle tissue that is stimulated by electrical currents, which normally follow a specific circuit within the heart.
This normal electrical circuit begins in the sinus or sinoatrial (SA) node, which is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (upper chamber) of the heart. The SA node generates an electrical stimulus at 60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions; this electrical impulse from the SA node starts the heartbeat.
The electrical impulse travels from the SA node to the atrioventricular (AV) node in the bottom of the right atrium. From there the impulse continues down an electrical conduction pathway called the "His-Purkinje" system into the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. When the electrical stimulus occurs it causes the muscle to contract and pump blood to the rest of the body. This process of electrical stimulation followed by muscle contraction is what makes the heart beat.
A pacemaker may be needed when problems occur with the electrical conduction system of the heart. When the timing of the electrical stimulation of the heart to the heart muscle and the subsequent response of the heart's pumping chambers is altered, a pacemaker may help.
A pacemaker is a life-saving medical device composed of three parts: a pulse generator, one or more leads, and an electrode on each lead. A pacemaker signals the heart to beat when the heartbeat is too slow or irregular.
A pulse generator is a small metal case that contains electronic circuitry and a battery and regulates the impulses sent to the heart.
The lead (or leads) is an insulated wire that is connected to the pulse generator on one end, with the other end placed inside one of the heart's chambers. The lead is almost always placed so that it runs through a large vein in the chest leading directly to the heart. The electrode on the end of a lead touches the heart wall. The lead delivers the electrical impulses to the heart. It also senses the heart's electrical activity and relays this information back to the pulse generator. Pacemaker leads may be positioned in the atrium (upper chamber) or ventricle (lower chamber) or both, depending on the medical condition.
If the heart's rate is slower than the programmed limit, an electrical impulse is sent through the lead to the electrode and causes the heart to beat at a faster rate.
When the heart beats at a rate faster than the programmed limit, the pacemaker generally monitors the heart rate and will not pace. Modern pacemakers are programmed to work on demand only, so they do not compete with natural heartbeats. Generally, no electrical impulses will be sent to the heart unless the heart's natural rate falls below the pacemaker's lower limit.
A newer type of pacemaker, called a biventricular pacemaker, is currently used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Sometimes in heart failure, the two ventricles do not pump in a normal manner. When this happens, less blood is pumped by the heart. A biventricular pacemaker paces both ventricles at the same time, increasing the amount of blood pumped by the heart. This type of treatment is called cardiac resynchronization therapy or CRT.
After a pacemaker insertion, regularly scheduled appointments will be made to ensure the pacemaker is functioning properly. The physician uses a special computer, called a programmer, to review the pacemaker's activity and adjust the settings when needed.
Other related procedures that may be used to assess the heart include resting and exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitor, signal-averaged ECG, cardiac catheterization, chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, echocardiography, electrophysiology studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, myocardial perfusion scans, radionuclide angiography, and ultrafast CT scan. Please see these procedures for additional information. Note that although an MRI is a very safe procedure, a person with a pacemaker generally should not undergo MRI, as the magnetic fields used by the MRI scanner may interfere with the pacemaker's function. Any patient with a pacemaker should always speak with his or her cardiologist before undergoing an MRI.
A pacemaker may be inserted in order to provide stimulation for a faster heart rate when the heart is beating too slowly, and when other treatment methods, such as medication, have not improved the heart rate.
Problems with the heart rhythm may cause difficulties because the heart is unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to the body. If the heart rate is too slow, the blood is pumped too slowly. If the heart rate is too fast or too irregular, the heart chambers are unable to fill up with enough blood to pump out with each beat. When the body does not receive enough blood, symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, fainting, and/or chest pain may occur.
Some examples of heart rate and rhythm problems for which a pacemaker might be inserted include:
There may be other reasons for your physician to recommend a pacemaker insertion.
Possible risks of pacemaker include, but are not limited to, the following:
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your physician. If you are breastfeeding, you should notify your physician.
Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications or latex should notify their physician.
For some patients, having to lie still on the procedure table for the length of the procedure may cause some discomfort or pain.
There may be other risks depending upon your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your physician prior to the procedure.
A pacemaker may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your physician's practices.
Generally, a pacemaker insertion follows this process:
After the procedure, you may be taken to the recovery room for observation or returned to your hospital room. A nurse will monitor your vital signs.
You should immediately inform your nurse if you feel any chest pain or tightness, or any other pain at the incision site.
After the period of bed rest has been completed, you may get out of bed. The nurse will assist you the first time you get up, and will check your blood pressure while you are lying in bed, sitting, and standing. You should move slowly when getting up from the bed to avoid any dizziness from the period of bed rest.
You will be able to eat or drink once you are completely awake.
The insertion site may be sore or painful, but pain medication may be administered if needed.
Your physician will visit with you in your room while you are recovering. The physician will give you specific instructions and answer any questions you may have.
Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you will be taken to your hospital room or discharged home.
If the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, you may be allowed to leave after you have completed the recovery process. However, if there are concerns or problems you may stay in the hospital for an additional day or longer.
You should arrange to have someone drive you home from the hospital following your procedure.
You should be able to return to your daily routine within a few days. Your physician will tell you if you will need to take more time in returning to your normal activities. In addition, you should not do any lifting or pulling on anything for a few weeks. You may be instructed to limit movement of the arm on the side that the pacemaker was placed, based on your physician's preferences.
You will most likely be able to resume your usual diet, unless your physician instructs you differently.
It will be important to keep the insertion site clean and dry. You will be given instructions about bathing and showering.
Your physician will give you specific instructions about driving.
Ask your physician when you will be able to return to work. The nature of your occupation, your overall health status, and your progress will determine how soon you may return to work.
Notify your physician to report any of the following:
Your physician may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.
The following precautions should always be considered. Discuss the following in detail with your physician, or call the company that made your device:

Ranking positions of need #1 WIDE RECEIVER: Jasper Collins. Danny Coale. Kashif Moore. Lanear Simpson. These are WRs on the Steelers current roster. Look it up if you think those are made-up names. However, with the deepest WR class in history, Pittsburgh could conceivably wait until Round 3 and still get a solid guy.
#2 CORNERBACK: There's not the depth problem here that there is at wideout but the top-end guy (Ike Taylor) is at the very end of the line and there is no margin for error. The corner picked HAS to be ready to start next year, making this the overwhelming bet for the first-round pick.
#3 INSIDE LINEBACKER: If Sean Spence is truly healthy then this drops down the priority list, but absent a position change this could be a huge issue in the 2014 season.
#4 DEFENSIVE END: Right now, Pittsburgh lists Cam Heyward, who finally produced a few splash plays in 2013, and two rookies as DEs. Expect this to be addressed early.
#5 OUTSIDE LINEBACKER: You might have noticed that last year's top pick, Jarvis Jones, did not exactly set the world on fire last season and this is such an important piece in the Lebeau/Butler scheme that it's not out of the question that we'd see another high pick here if the right guy fell to the right spot.
Odds on Steelers No. 1 pick: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State Odds: 3-1 Of note: Some concern about his speed at NFL level, but his physical style matches Pittsburgh's MO and he's likely CB to still be there at #15. Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech Odds: 4-1 Of note: Recent rumors have tagged him as the CB the Steelers really covet, but there's no way to tell whether that's legit info or a smoke screen. Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State Odds: 5-1 Of note: Not really a true press corner but too much athletic ability to bypass if he's still there. Odell Beckham, WR, LSU Odds: 8-1 Of note: A lot of experts think he's the most NFL-ready wideout in the deepest wideout draft ever. Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina Odds: 15-1 Of note: Biggest risk/reward pick in the first round. If the team that takes him is right, he's a potential franchise changer. C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama Odds: 25-1 Of note: Everything about this guy's pedigree and style of play says Steelers. Trade down Odds: 40-1 Of note: Every year just about every team wants to trade down. It takes two to tango.
Second-round speculation Want: Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State Prediction: Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson
Grading the Steelers 2011 draft 1: Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State Grade: C A few splash plays finally in his third year. 2: Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida Grade: C Serviceable in the run game, huge liability in pass pro. 3: Curtis Brown, CB, Texas Grade: F A big reason Steelers are looking for a CB tonight. 4: Cortez Allen, CB, The Citadel Grade: B Has looked at times like he might blossom but still waiting. 5: Chris Carter, OLB, Fresno State Grade: C Undistinguished, but he's still there. 6: Keith Williams, G, Nebraska Grade: D Sleeper pick was a real snoozer. 7: Baron Batch, RB, Texas Tech Grade: C Injuries sidetracked potential draft steal. In a nutshell: No huge busts but a basically a ZERO IMPACT draft. Heyward finally has become serviceable, but it took three years. Gilbert remains a liability on way too many plays for a second rounder. Cortez Allen looks like best pick but he's an average NFL starter. Overall grade: D-

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of homebuilder D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI ) were adding another level today, climbing as much as 11% after reporting a strong quarter.
So what: Riding the bullish wave in the housing sector, the nation's largest homebuilder delivered its strongest Q1 in six quarters. Profits more than doubled to $66.3 million, or $0.20 a share, up from $0.09 a year ago, beating estimates of $0.14. Closing and orders were up 26% and 39%, respectively, while the average sales price increased 15% and Horton's backlog grew 62%. Revenues jumped 39% as well.
Now what: Horton's report was yet more evidence of the housing recovery, and I expect the bullishness to continue, with housing inventory reaching its lowest levels in the past five or six years. Still, shares already have bright expectations baked in, with the P/E based on expected 2013 earnings at 27.

Saffery Champness recognised as one of 2014 'Top 25 Trust Companies'
Saffery Champness has once again been listed as one of the Top 25 Trust Companies in Private Client Practitioner's ultimate rankings of its Top 25 series.
Private Client Practitioner, a publication for leading private client professionals, introduced the rankings in order to celebrate the largest and most successful private client-centric advisory businesses.
The 'Top 25 Trust Companies' list, now in its fifth year, is nomination-based and companies are judged on a number of factors including the total number of staff employed, the number of client facing directors and trust officers and the number of offices from which they operate.
Saffery Champness, one of the largest independent fiduciary service providers in Guernsey, employs more than 110 people across its trust, funds, tax and accountancy businesses, with its fiduciary team specialising in the provision of trust and company services to an international client base.
Earlier this year Saffery Champness was ranked in the Top 25 Most Admired Companies in Private Client Practitioner's ultimate rankings and four directors were recognised on the 2014 Citywealth Leaders List featuring prominent figures from across the legal and private wealth management sectors.
Managing director of Saffery Champness in Guernsey, Nick Batiste, said: "Our continued inclusion in these industry rankings are a welcome endorsement from the industry as we continue to provide a very high level of client service."

Did Liberals Cause the Sub-Prime Crisis?
The idea started on the outer precincts of the right. Thomas DiLorenzo, an economist who calls Ron Paul "the Jefferson of our time," wrote in September that the housing crisis is "the direct result of thirty years of government policy that has forced banks to make bad loans to un-creditworthy borrowers." The policy DiLorenzo decries is the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act, which requires banks to lend throughout the communities they serve.

The P-TV service, launched in Japan, uses Sony's ISP company, So-net. Initially the service will offer downloadable videos of independent movies and trailers, but should soon offer premium content, such as TV episodes, movies and music videos for a fee.
The service takes advantage of some of the media playback updates included in the PSP Software version 2.0, offering higher quality H.264 encoded videos. Content is expected to weigh in at 256MB for 30 minutes of video, with pricing yet to be announced.
Although users will be able to browse through what's on offer from the P-TV service, it is unclear whether or not the video files can be downloaded directly onto the PSP or if a PC will be required.

Florida's Emerald Dunes Club Completes Restoration
Emerald Dunes Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., has finished a remodel of its course. The work was overseen by Tom Fazio, the course's original designer.
The result of Fazio's work is a refinement of the heralded course that opened in 1990 and was listed as one of the best 100 courses in the U.S. and rated in the top five of all Florida clubs.
Fazio managed the extensive multi-million-dollar project, which involved the addition of championship tees. Other tees were expanded or redesigned; fairways widened on several holes; some new greens created and others reshaped; bunkers added to increase their number to over 100; and two holes reconfigured. A new irrigation system will ensure that the course conditions remain consistent.
"Tom Fazio took the gem of his original design and perfected it," said the club's Ken Green. "We've created a sanctuary for golfers who appreciate a pure golf experience that's challenging yet fun to play on a daily basis. While we've added length for scratch golfers, the course remains playable for all skill levels. And the new world-class Tom Fazio Short Game Area, along with the two-bay indoor Golf Learning Center, generously complements the club's variety of practice facilities and game improvement amenities that rival any in Florida, if not the nation."
Emerald Dunes features an eight-acre, 310-yard double-sided driving range with more than 28,000 square feet of tee surface. This area also provides five target greens, each framed with shallow sand bunkers, four mini-chipping target greens and a USGA regulation putting green. The separate Tom Fazio Short Game Area includes a 19th hole par-3 that plays from 85 to 135 yards.
Two dedicated target greens, a chipping green and an additional putting green were all built to USGA specifications with same turf conditions as the golf course. Six practice bunkers and a grass pot bunker complete the practice amenities.
A total investment of approximately $15 million was made by Emerald Dunes' ownership to upgrade the course and refine the clubhouse. Also added were 2,000 mature palms and trees around the course's perimeter to serve as privacy buffers; the former cart paths were replaced with crushed-shell surfaces and pavers to complement the natural look of the course.
"Emerald Dunes has always been one of my favorite courses and I was pleased to be invited back to make some strategic enhancements to one of the most highly regarded clubs in Florida," said Fazio. "Emerald Dunes is truly a gem and with the recent improvements it's an even more dazzling jewel. Although it's hard to imagine, we've upgraded the quality of the overall golf experience by tenfold. With the addition of soft shell paths, native vegetation and an expansive short game area, the dream keeps getting better. To take something that originally was so well received and make it substantially superior is a special achievement."
Emerald Dunes is just minutes from Palm Beach and the surrounding community. Lee Rinker, a veteran PGA Tour pro who now competes on the Champions Tour, is the club's director of golf.

Since the YWCA's announcement that its warmwater therapeutic pool will close in September, patrons have expressed concern and frustration, something the organization's board of directors says it understands.
Joann Kay, president of the YWCA's board, said every measure has been taken to save the pool and it may no longer be kept open without affecting the rest of the organization's services.
"We have already kept the pool open by keeping equipment going way past its useful life," she said. "We can no longer do that without compromising the mission of the YWCA."

Women work out in the warmwater pool at the YWCA during a deep water aerobics class in December 2007.
The YWCA has decided to hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 17 at its facility at 815 W. Fourth St., Diane Glenwright, executive director said.
According to Glenwright, the only way the pool will be able to remain open is if community members can raise the $500,000 needed to repair it and commit to raising the $80,000 per year operating costs of the pool.
While the YWCA's capital campaign attempted to raise money to repair the pool, not enough money was received to meet these needs.
Fact Box
WHAT: Warmwater pool closing informational meeting
WHEN: 6 p.m. Aug. 17
WHERE: YWCA , 815 W. Fourth St.
Only $1,025 was donated to repair the pool, which "falls far short" of the $500,000 needed for renovations.
Also factored into the decision to close the pool are rising utility costs, she said.
Kay said the decision to close the pool was "difficult."
Money cannot be diverted from the organization's other programs to the pool program because money is tied to each specific program, Kay said.
"You must spend the monies on the programs for which they are given," she said.
Stimulus money also may not be used for the pool, as the fund "specifically prohibits the funding of swimming pools," Kay said.
However, there is an option for YWCA patrons hoping to find another way to relax and rehabilitate using a pool.
The River Valley Regional YMCA will be working closely with the YWCA to make sure pool patrons are able to continue their water-related therapies using the pools at either the Williamsport location, 320 Elmira St., or the East Lycoming branch near Muncy.
"We want to make them feel as welcome as possible," said Dave Fagerstrom, CEO of the River Valley Regional YMCA.
While the YMCA's membership is higher than the YWCA's, Fagerstrom said no one will be turned away for being unable to pay.
"Our membership fee is more than the traditional YWCA membership, but whoever wants to come to YMCA pools, we're going to work with them to figure out what they can afford," he said.
Though the YMCA's pool is kept 4 degrees cooler than the YWCA's pool, Fagerstrom said he doesn't think that will pose a problem.
"The YMCA is just at a regular pool temperature, but we've certainly had hundreds, if not thousands, of seniors ... who have come into the YMCA, used the pool and done quite well," he said.

Weren't they alternating the shot show between Vegas and ...... ?
Or did they just decide to have them in Vegas from now on?

But it seems they've settled on Las Vegas.
May 27, 2013, 11:26 AM
They used to alternate with other cities, but when some mayors went Anti they stopped hopping around and alternated with Orlando. Then they stopped doing even that.
Jim Watson
May 27, 2013, 12:31 PM
I don't think it was ever strictly alternated, more like several years in Las Vegas, one Somewhere Else, back to Vegas for a good while.
I have been to SHOT at Vegas once, New Orleans once, Orlando twice over a 22 year span.
I saw a lot of complaints over high prices and little to do outside the show in New Orleans and Orlando. Most attendees prefer Las Vegas.
June 13, 2013, 08:57 AM
NSSF signed a 20 year contract with Vegas, so that's where it will be for another 15 years or so.
Outlaw Man
June 20, 2013, 03:20 PM
Owen, I had understood that the contract was going to be up in a couple of years - '16 or '17?
Either way, Vegas and Orlando are about the only places large enough, nowadays. And, as Jim said, Vegas is much more travel-friendly. I'd be surprised if they decided to move anytime soon, contract or no.

Burberry AW12 Campaign: Round 3
So this morning I finally got around to posting the second lot of delectable Burberry AW12 campaign snaps. And what do you know the very day, nay, the very second I did Christopher Bailey's third installment of new season teasers arrived in my inbox! Yep, yet more images of Gabriella Wilde and Roo Panes strolling through London by moonlight, bedecked in Burberry's autumnal delights and looking sickeningly beautiful. It seems foolish and frankly just plain mean to withold them for another month so here you have more pics guaruanteed to send you (or at least me) into a state of life/looks/wardrobe envy…
Here's hoping Burberry don't have another set up their sleeve. There's only so much gorgeousness a girl can endure!
Love Ella. X

Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 7:00 CT
Offensive Rating: Thunder – 108.2 (1st), Nets–103.7 (11th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 103.4 (18th), Nets – 112.9 (30th)
Pace: Thunder – 92.6 (12th), Nets – 89.2 (26th)
View from the enemy: Nets Are Scorching
A horrific loss to the lowly Wizards, a couple days to stew on it and then a game against a bad New Jersey team? Yeah, I don't see any reason the Thunder shouldn't be ready for this one.
New Jersey coming in: The Nets are well rested too having played Wednesday, winning against Golden State.
Three Big Things
1. The newly paid Russell Westbrook. I don't think anything changes for Westbrook now that he's been paid, but still, this is the first game for him since signing a big extension with the Thunder. Maybe he's a tad more comfortable and confident on the floor knowing he's a max player that will be wearing Thunder colors for the next five-plus years.
2. Westbrook v. Williams. A premier point guard matchup and definitely the most critical of the game. Deron Williams has not played all that well this season, but he's one of the very best at his craft and Westbrook needs to match him well.
3. Rebounding. It's becoming more and more of an issue for the Thunder and though the Nets aren't a great rebounding team, they are in the top 10 of the league averaging 12 offensive boards a game. Kris Humphries can be relentless on the glass so the Thunder bigs will need to be keyed in.
Tip at 6:00 CT. Go Rebound (double-meaning, you guys).

Zen and the Art of Cycle Maintenance
You need to keep your bike safe and roadworthy, and you can either learn to do this yourself (the best option) or pay someone else to do it for you. You won't need many tools for the everyday tasks and you can always get a bike shop to fix anything you don't feel confident about.
It is a really good idea to give your bike a thorough overhaul once a year (like a car's MOT), perhaps in the autumn before the winter weather sets in. Bike shops will do this for around £25 plus the cost of any parts.
Note that Portswood Cycles have a van parked next to the Student Union bike shed every Tuesday in term-time. You can leave your bike with them in the morning and they'll usually have it fixed by the time you need to ride it home. They can often fix minor problems 'on the spot' if required.
The 'all in one' tool sets from bike shops include most of the tools you need, but separate tools are generally more convenient and easier to use.
You need to keep these pumped up as squishy tyres make it harder to cycle and are more likely to get a puncture. You shouldn't be able to squash the tyre at all with your thumbs.
Equipment: a cycle pump, preferably one you can stick in a bag if you go out for a cycle in the countryside. Make sure you get one that matches the valves on your tyres - there are two basic sorts.
The best policy is to avoid having them by keeping your tyres pumped up, avoiding riding over broken glass and buying tyres with kevlar linings (more expensive but worth every penny). However, sooner or later you will get one, and this may be the point at which you get a bike shop to fix it for you. You can learn to do it yourself, but it is a deal of effort to turn the bike upside down, slacken the brakes, remove the wheel (especially the back one), remove the tyre, check to see if you can find the glass/nail that caused the flat, find the puncture and fix it (or buy a new inner tube) and reassemble the whole thing. With practice and the right tools it can take 20 minutes, but you may spend half a day cursing your way through this process as you find that your fix didn't work and the tyre still goes flat.
See bikewebsite.com (and subsequent pages) for instructions, or just search Google for "How to repair punctures" to find relevant YouTube videos etc.
You need to keep them adjusted so that the wheels do not rotate when you apply the brakes hard and try to push the bike. Replace the brake pads before they wear out completely, as that will ruin your wheel rims.
Keep an eye on brake cables and replace them if they are at all rusty or frayed.
See bikewebsite.com for instructions, or just search Google for "How to adjust bike brakes" to find relevant YouTube videos etc.
Equipment: a pair of pliers, allen keys or small spanners.
Gears and Chain
You need to keep these lubricated - it will make cycling easier and prevent damage to these expensive-to-replace parts. I recommend using WD-40 as it is easy to apply and doesn't collect grit like oil does. You do need to apply it fairly regularly though - perhaps once a month. Use the applicator tube that comes with cans of WD-40 and avoid getting any on your wheel rims, otherwise your brakes don't work! Try using an old T-shirt to stop the WD-40 dripping on the rims.
Equipment: can of WD-40, rag to protect rims.
Loose bits
The only other thing is to fix loose bits as soon as you notice them rattling or wobbling - for example if the pedals start making a click or squeak every time they go round. If you leave it, the chances are it will get worse quickly and cost more to fix.

Local woman drawn to Honor Flight by soldier's World War II service
By Nina Donath
For The Times
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. _ In 1943, a certain couple's son enlisted to serve in one of the most fearsome wars ever fought. He was their only living child; he was only two years old when his younger brother died shortly after birth.
His entire war experience was painstakingly recorded by his loving mother in a large white scrapbook. Its pages are worn and yellowed now by time, but still tells a compelling story of a young man's journey through training and then onto war.
Multiple postcards, pictures and letters show he started his training at 19 years of age in Camp Dodge, Iowa. From there he went onto Fort Hood, Texas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Socorro, New Mexico, where he spent Christmas 1943.
In September 1944, he sailed to England, as part of the 17th Armored Infantry Battalion in the 12th Armored Division "Hellcats." He wrote his folks dozens of V-mail letters, the main communication mode of that time.
V-mail was written on a special form, passed through censors, then photographed onto camera film so that it could be easily transported overseas. During the war over 1.5 billion V-mail letters were processed.
November 1944 found the young man in France. His many letters during the next few months express appreciation for packages from home containing candy, nuts, handkerchiefs, and especially warm socks, for it was a particularly brutal winter in France.
He described struggling to keep warm and dry, as well as ammunition shortages, and anxiety of not knowing when the war would ever end. As they advanced towards Germany, bitter battles were waged in a quagmire of mud. He fought at the Maginot Line and wrote he cared not to ever see it again.
The V-mails abruptly ended late March 1945. The next entry in the scrapbook was a dire one - a Western Union Telegram from the Adjutant General stating that the young soldier was missing in action since April 3rd near Wurzburg, Germany.
Dozens of letters of sympathy and encouragement to the couple from friends "after the bad words" were received are displayed in the scrapbook.
Nothing was known until a V-mail dated in early May 1945. In an odd, breezy way he wrote, "Haven't had a chance to write for a while for I've been a prisoner of war...I was sure lucky to escape from the Jerries." A telegram dated May 12, 1945 confirms to the anxious parents that their son was safe and was returning home soon.
Some time afterwards, he went to college on the GI Bill and graduated with a degree in engineering. Two years afterwards, he met his future wife on a blind date. They married and raised three daughters, and for all accounts and purposes, he lived a quiet life. He never spoke of his war experiences; all that was known were the contents within the scrapbook.
He has now long since passed away, and according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 850 WWII veterans die every day. In a few short years, there will be none left.
That is why I encourage you to write these dates on your calendar: April 24 and May 29, when the last Honor Flights will be held for veterans from the Tennessee Valley.
These men and women are flown up to Washington DC for the day, where they reminisce, visit memorials, and are honored and feted. Honor Flight has flown more than 1000 WWII Veterans to date from this region and by the last flight, they will have flown over 1200 men and women who served our country.
If you are an early bird, come to the airport 5 AM on these days to wish the honorees well on their journey, and/or come back at approximately 9 pm for a celebration to welcome them home. I promise that you will not regret it when you see the emotion and excitement from them and their families.
I volunteer for Honor Flight to not only honor these brave men and women, but also to pay tribute in my heart to my own father, the late William Woody, for the hardships he endured for his country as he described so long ago in those V-mails pasted in my grandmother's scrapbook.

Plea deal in police scheme
HONOLULU - Four Honolulu police officers have pleaded no contest in a scheme to receive unearned overtime by falsifying reports.
Sergeants Duke Zoller and Aaron Bernal, along with officers Christopher Bugarin and Patrick Bugarin pleaded no contest in a deal with prosecutors.
They were accused of falsifying DUI arrest reports so that officers who weren't there could qualify for overtime.
Zoller pleaded no contest to an accomplice charge. Bernal pleaded no contest two accomplice charges. Christopher and Patrick Bugarin pleaded no contest to tampering.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Tuesday that if they stay out of trouble during their deferral periods, they can have the charges cleared from their records.
Prosecutors say more than 200 DUI cases had to be dismissed because of the allegations.
Hawaiian Electric to settle suit
HONOLULU - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says Hawaiian Electric Co. will pay $50,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit by an employee who is blind in one eye.
The commission filed a complaint on behalf of Patrick Obado, claiming he was denied a position as a meter reader because of his disability.
The EEOC argued that he was fully capable of performing the job because he has perfect vision in the other eye.
The agency announced the settlement Tuesday, which also requires the electric company to designate an Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator to handle disability-related employee inquires and to hire an outside monitor to provide training on federal disability law.
The company says it entered into the agreement to avoid litigation and that it's not an admission of liability.

Tuesday night was Major League Baseball's "Midsummer Classic" -- the All-Star Game.
Monday night, the Texas Ranger's Josh Hamilton put on a show. He wowed fans during his record-breaking run in the Home Run Derby.
Although he fell just short in the finals, it's remarkable that he was even there. Not too long ago, Hamilton was out of baseball and fighting for his life.
On June 2, 1999, 18-year-old Hamilton was drafted number one overall by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Like all draft picks, Hamilton was sent to the minors to develop.
When his first season in the minors was filled with injuries, he had more time to spend with his new friends.
"I had my first drink of alcohol and did my first line of cocaine in the same night," Hamilton told CBN. "I can't say why I did it other than just curious."
His curiosity led to addiction.
"You know, just wanting to use and doing anything I could to get it," Hamilton explained.
Over the next three years, Hamilton checked in and out of rehab eight times. Because of baseball's drug-testing policy, his career was also in jeopardy.
He quit taking drug tests and was suspended from baseball. His body was taking a beating from the drugs, and he lost 50 pounds.
Road to Recovery
One night Hamilton showed up on his grandmother's doorstep and asked if she would take him in. She hardly recognized her grandson.
"She knew that I was using, and saying to me that she knew what I was doing," Hamilton recalled. "She just started crying and said she couldn't take it anymore seeing me like that."
"I don't even know how he was surviving," Hamilton's wife Katie said. "He was a skeleton. He didn't even look like the same person. Just mentally I felt like he didn't have any grasp on reality."
Hamilton had given his life to Jesus at age 18, but after he was drafted, baseball became his focus.
His grandmother challenged him to surrender to God.
He began reading the Bible, and with God's help, Hamilton gave up drugs and alcohol and he was baptised.
"Just watching the transformation that God has made in Josh's life," Mrs. Hamilton explained. "I mean it's just been so awesome and such a gift from the Lord to see what he's done in him."
"It's nothing I did," Hamilton explained. "Except to to make the right choices and let God take over from there. There's one solid and permanent way out of it and that's finding the Lord Jesus Christ and accepting him."
Hamilton is still preaching the Gospel any chance he gets. After the Home Run Derby, he told a television reporter, "I'd like to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity, and I glorify him any chance I get."

Designed as SIG's entrant in the military trials to replace the 1911, today the P226 is in use by the U.S. Navy Seals, Federal agents, and numerous law-enforcement agencies including the Texas Rangers, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the Michigan State Police to name a few. The exceptional ergonomics and balance make this full size pistol easy to handle. Available in either 9mm, .357 Sig, or .40 S&W, its longer barrel yields better ballistic performance and accuracy.

I believe it as to do with registering the MIBs more than once. My
colleague has been able to resolve this by unregistering the MIBs
"properly". I say properly because they were being unregistered but I
don't think it was being done the right way. At least the new way
certainly doesn't cause the crash.
Are there any detailed examples on how to unregister MIBS "properly" ???
I saw some quick tutorial for registering but I don't recall seeing much
info on the unregistering side of things. I will keep looking.
Thanks, Brendan.

Dr Hilary Jones to Join Hidden Hearing for Hearing Health Care Event
Hidden Hearing has announced the return of its exclusive Hearing Care event to the Villa Marina this March 21st, this time with special celebrity guest Dr Hilary Jones and a special visit from Derfel, one of the Manx Deaf Society's hearing dogs. Dr Hilary will join a selection of Hidden Hearing health care specialists who will be on hand throughout the day to provide expert hearing advice as well as demonstrate the latest in hearing aid technologies. Derfel will be joined by his trainer Gareth Foulkes from the Manx Deaf Society, who will be on hand to chat about tips on communicating with those who suffer from hearing loss and outline the ways in which hearing dogs can help to improve daily quality of life with a series of amusing anecdotes.
Members of the public are invited to pop down to the Villa Marina throughout the day, free of charge, with the opportunity to take part in Hidden Hearing's, hearing screening and full tests, as well as a free wax removal service, and live product demonstrations from top Hearing Aid Manufacturers. For the first time ever on the Island, visitors will also be treated to a series of educational video screenings on hearing care, such as Dr Hilary's own "6 Steps to Better Hearing."
Over 14,000 individuals suffer from some degree of hearing loss on the Isle of Man, approximately 1/6 of the population, while figures gathered by the national UK charity, Action on Hearing Loss, find that more than 10 million individuals in the UK now suffer from some form of hearing impairment ranging from mild and moderate to severe and profound. By 2031 this number is set to increase to 14.5 million. Over 2 million people in the UK have hearing aids, but only 1.4 million use them regularly, and at least 4 million people who don't have hearing aids would benefit from their regular use.
Dr Hilary is a qualified General Practitioner, breakfast tv health editor, and is also a medical advisor to Hidden Hearing, providers of expert hearing healthcare services in the UK for over 40 years. All Hidden Hearing, Hearing Aid Audiologists are registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), a UK regulatory body that ensures the highest standards of quality and care.
"Acknowledging deterioration of hearing loss and its impact on quality of life is the first step. The ultimate consequence of an undiagnosed and untreated hearing problem is social isolation," said Dr Hilary Jones.
Elaine Norris, Audiologist at Hidden Hearing Isle of Man, also commented: "People with hearing loss can often struggle to hear and identify sounds, causing them to use a considerable amount of energy to follow even the most casual of conversations. It takes them longer to reflect on the meaning of sounds, follow the flow of conversation and determine the correct and timely response. This can be a gradual process of deterioration that may go unnoticed without professional guidance and which can often be remedied through the use of one of the many different technologies available in the today's market place."
Ms Norris continued: "Our events grow more popular every year and have attracted hundreds of visitors on the Isle of Man alone. It provides the perfect opportunity for those who struggle with their hearing or their friends and loved ones to consult a range of hearing health experts, to test the latest in hearing health technologies, and do so in a relaxed and friendly environment. In fact 98% of attendants to a recent event said they would recommend us to a friend. I am very much looking forward to the day's event and to helping the Manx public in any way I can."
The Hidden Hearing all-day hearing care event will take place on Friday 21st March at the Villa Marina, Douglas. Admission is entirely free of charge and it is advisable to call 0800 298 7857 and book your place to avoid disappointment. Visitors will also be treated to complimentary refreshments and are encouraged to bring a partner or friend as a guest.
For more information, or to consult a Hidden Hearing specialist, contact Hidden Hearing Isle of Man on 617683 or visit the Hidden Hearing practice at 15b Village Walk, Onchan.

Esteemed authors, futurists, and social commentators joined CEO Joel Singer for the first Thought Leadership panel at the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®' annual EXPO. Panelists concluded that the future is not a given when it comes to real estate, and that public policy and facts really matter in shaping the future lives of everyday Californians and where they call home.
Overall, three engaging experts joined Singer for a substantive panel discussion that was full of insights on the future of housing. The panel, titled "Tomorrow's Housing: The Future of California Real Estate," addressed how future housing markets and public policy can reflect the needs and desires of Californians, and why addressing concerns about affordability and upward mobility will keep the American Dream of homeownership attainable.
The panelists included author Joel Kotkin, an internationally-recognized authority on global, economic, political and social trends; author Joe Mathews, California editor for Zócalo Public Square, a Los Angeles-based ideas exchange that combines daily humanities journalism and live events; and Perry Wong, Director of Research at the Milken Institute.
The insights of this conversation are shared in the third executive report from the Thought Leadership Program's roundtable series.
The Thought Leadership program represents C.A.R.'s ongoing commitment to enhancing the professionalism of all its members. Executive reports are just one facet of the initiative, which is comprised of a set of strategic activities designed to elevate C.A.R.'s reputation and expand visibility among different publics.

Ian Thorpe has returned to the pool and is set to do a heavy block of training laps as he contemplates his next competition.
The five-time Olympic gold medallist missed out on place at a third Olympic Games in London after failing to qualify in the 100-metre and 200-metre freestyle at last week's selection trials in Adelaide.
Thorpe, 29, said he planned to continue swimming and has returned to the pool ahead of increased training.
"I'm still disappointed but once the competition was over I found the resolve to continue doing what I'm doing and I'm as motivated as what I was before," Thorpe said.
While Thorpe has not completely ruled out aiming for the Rio Olympics in 2016, his next target could be next year's world championships in Barcelona.
But Thorpe said he has yet to decide on where and when he will return to competition.
"I have literally no idea when I'll be back in competition," Thorpe said.
"It will be sometime during this year but I most definitely haven't made any decision on which competition it will be. The next phase for me is really a pretty significant training block."
Thorpe has expressed an intention to spend more time training in Australia this year after doing his comeback training in Switzerland last year.
The Olympic great, who had retired in 2006, had a string of disappointing results leading up to the Olympic trials since his comeback in Singapore last November.
The "Thorpedo" ruled the pool from 1998 to 2004, taking nine Olympic medals and 11 world titles, while setting 13 long course world records.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that most of the Australian swimming team are not happy with the official swimsuit they are expected to compete in at this year's London Olympics, reports said Thursday.
Sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell, who have both qualified for London, said dissatisfaction with the Elite Fastskin Pro suit presented to the Olympic team by their official sponsor Speedo was so high that many were applying for official exemptions to compete wearing something else, newspapers said.
"I think there's about two people on the team who are happy with the Speedo suit at the moment," Bronte Campbell told The Sydney Morning Herald.
"I think most of the team is happy with the older Speedo suit, so they may have to look at (wearing) that."
The sisters are sponsored by a rival swimwear company and will wear an unmarked swimsuit at London, being among 32 Australian athletes who successfully applied to the Australian Olympic Committee for exemptions.
Dual Olympic relay gold medallist Jessicah Schipper said she tried the latest Speedo product but preferred her sponsor's outfit.
"It's unofficial as of yet but I'm hoping to be wearing adidas over there," Schipper told the newspaper.
"I've tried (the Speedo suit) out, and I find they just don't fit my body as well as the ones that were designed for me, and at the end of the day I want to race in what fits me best."
Speedo said in a statement it was continuing to work closely with the AOC and the Australian swimming team "to deliver suits that will allow them to feel confident and compete to the highest standard in the lead up to and during the London 2012 Olympics."
Swimsuits caused an uproar at the 2009 Rome world championships when swimmers wearing high-tech polyurethane swimsuits set a total of 43 world records at the meet, leading to their ban by head body FINA in favour of garments made from textiles.

Hair removal creams and lotion are a very popular treatment for hair eradication. These creams can be bought from many places, and can be purchased by many different brands. People buy these products sometimes looking for permanently removing their hair. Some brands say that their lotion is able to create a permanent hair removal solution. This most likely is not the case. There are a limited amount of ways to get rid of hair permanently, and these treatments can be very expensive. Creams aren't generally very expensive, and sure the effects last longer than other ways of removing ones hair, but is it permanent? No.
Hair remover creams are not permanent. They can last between five days and five weeks, (it depends on the rapid growth of you hair.) It also depends on the cost and brand of the lotion you have chosen. The most common, and said to be the best working cream, is Revitol. Of course there are lots of other brands to choose from that work almost equally as well. None of these hair removing lotions are permanent though, but they are affordable, and get the job done for longer periods of time then other hair removal methods.
Epilators are not permanent either. For more imformation on the best epilators visit this site.
Understanding Human Hair Growth
Hair grows every where on the human body, except the palms of your hands, and the soles of your feet. Hair is made up of protein and multi-layered cells. The protein (also known as keratin) is made of a chain like structure. Its job is to help strengthen the hair shaft. When hair grows, there are three stages it goes into.
- Anagen: the anagen phase is the first cycle to hair growth. This cycle can last from two, to six years. This stage lasts the longest, and is said that eighty five percent of the hairs on the human body (including the head) is in this phase. How long the hair stays in this stage, and how bold it grows is based on genetics. It is also proven that the longer a hair is in the anagen phase, the longer and faster the hair grows. It depends on the person as to how quickly your hair will grow back.
- Catagen: After the anagen phase the hair goes into the catagen cycle. In this stage of body hair growth the hair takes a "rest". So really in this stage, the hair doesn't grow. In fact, it shrinks. It shrinks due to disintegration, and this results in the hair shaft being pushed upward. In a sense the hair is resting, and to do so it is cutting itself from the bodies nourishing blood supply. This phase lasts roughly two weeks. The percentage of hairs on the human body, including the head, that are in this stage can vary from 0 percent to 5 percent.
- Telogen: The last stage of hair growth, before the hair goes back into anagen phase is telogen. The telogen phase only happens on the head, for usually other body hair is already gone from being shaved.
And there you have it. That is how hair grows. On the human body we shave the hairs other than the ones on our head and eyelashes, and so we do not see the different cycles that all the hair grows through.

How is being vegan going for you? Are you glad you made the switch?
Quoting SalmonBerry87:
Have you ever been out of the country?
No I dont. The last time I saw him was the day I left the hospital. I had my mom take him to the nursery for me after I said bye and then we went home. I have a semi open adoption which means I get pictures and an update once a year on his birthday but other than that there is no contact.
Quoting cemcnair:
You are an amazing woman for making such a selfless choice for your son to have the best!
Do you still see him?Quoting mommaGof3:
You can ask me anything you would like about him.
It's a rather long story but I was struggling to take care of Tatum and their bio father wasnt much help. He would rather buy video games instead of diapers. He was a totally ass. Very verbally and emotionally abusive. He tried to convince me to let him take the kids for half of the year and what not. Then one day when I was 6 months pregnant with zachary, my ex and I got in a huge fight over child support, the only money he ever spent on tatum was for a 20 dollar carseat. So we got into a huge fight over him not helping me and it got ugly. He backed me into a corner and I was tried of him doing that to me so I smacked him. He hit me repeatedly and attempted to chock me to death. Thats when I knew for sure that I had to give zachary the best life possible. I wanted him to have a DADDY who would show him love and take care of him the way a real daddy should. I also wanted to be able to take care of Tatum better. Obviously I was going to be totally on my own cause that bastard of an ex wasnt going to be in my life anymore period so I had to do what was going to be best for both of my children.
Quoting cemcnair:
I've always wanted to ask about your other son. What happened? Why was he adopted? (You do not have to answer this question if you do not want to)!!

Are we going to dance around a bonfire naked when you come up next summer?

Are you afraid of anything?

We should be friends. Lol.
Quoting mommaGof3:
I have always been very drawn to the pagan path. It just feels natural to me. It seems to have always called to me even in my Christian days. Being pagan gives me the "at home" feeling that I never felt with church or christianity.
Quoting SalmonBerry87:
What drew you to Paganism?
Quoting mommaGof3:
2 of my sisters know and the rest of my family doesnt. My family are all christians and I am pretty sure my mom and my ither sister are going to freak out and call the prayer chain for me so I am slowly feeling out the situation before exposing that to them.
Quoting cemcnair:
Did your family freak out when you converted to Paganism?
I will gladly answer any repeat question :)

Have you ever been out on an LSD (Long Slow Distance) run where the plan was to 'negative split' while your running mates discussed how they might achieve a BQ (Boston Qualifier) because they have been increasing their 'lactate threshold' via 'tempo' runs every other week? Have you simply nodded and smiled while pretending to have a clue what they were talking about? Or, perhaps you are a seasoned runner, but never found the time to research all the terminology runners toss around.
The following is a list of terms which we will add to over the years to enhance your running vocabulary. This should at the very least get you started. The list is far from comprehensive and the definitions are simplified so you do not have to read between the lines. If there is a term that you would like us to dissect, shoot me an email at email@example.com and I will do my best to update the list.
Aerobic: the use of oxygen. An aerobic effort would be in the form of a longer run at relatively low intensity.
Bandit: someone who runs a race (typically a larger road race) without registering. WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE THIS BEHAVIOUR
Bonk: to run out of fuel. Generally speaking, people are referring to glycogen stores being depleted, which typically happens around the 2-hour mark.
BQ: Boston Marathon Qualifying Time
Carbo-loading: to maximize the storage of glycogen, endurance athletes consume a diet high in carbohydrates a few days prior to a longer race
Cool-Down: following a higher intensity workout it is recommended that you bring your heart rate back down to slightly above resting via jogging.
DNF: Did not finish
DNS: Did not start
Endorphins: the body's natural pain killer typically released during bouts of exercise that are relatively strenuous to produce a feeling known as Runner's High
Fartlek: A swedish word for Speed Play
IAAF: The International governing body for track and field otherwise known as the International Association of Athletics Federation
Intervals: A type of training performed at, or close to race pace with differing lengths of rest between sets, which are designed to enable you to run at race pace
IT Band: runners typically talk about the IT Band when referring to ITBS or Illiotibial Band Syndrome. The IT Band runs down the outside (lateral) of the thigh and can produce hip and knee pain (the insertions) if it gets too tight.
Kick: towards the end of a race when a runner sprints through the finish line, most commonly referred to as a finishing kick.
Killage: the number of kilometres one runs in a given day or week
Lactate Threshold: the point at which your body is producing lactate faster than it can remove it. A great predictor of endurance performance.
LSD: Long Slow Distance
Master: over 40 years of age
Negative Splits: to run the second half of your run faster than the first half
Pace: the average speed at which you cover a particular distance
Peak: the end of your season, typically the goal race that you have rested for after months of rigorous training
PB or PR: Person Best or Personal Record
Quarters: 400 meters which is approximately 1/4 of a mile
Rabbit: the pace setter for a race who runs in front of the field
Splits: times given or recorded at particular points throughout a race or workout (typically at mile or kilometre markers)
