Cardinals' battle cry (more or less): Win one for Carlos!
Beltran's 'mates want to help one of the game's top postseason sluggers reach a World Series -- finally
ST. LOUIS -- Only seven players who will suit up for the
Cardinals in the NLCS made the postseason roster when the club won the World Series in 2011.
Those who have earned their rings often talk about how they want to win a championship for all those who haven't. But there is one player they mention far more than any other. That would be veteran right fielder
Carlos Beltran, the standard-bearer for coming oh-so-close.
"Man, I want that guy to get a ring so bad," 2011 World Series hero David Freese says. "I'm going to talk about this as long as we're playing. It's not about looking in the mirror. It's about fighting for the guy next to you."
Beltran is the only player to reach Game 7 of a League Championship Series three times who hasn't reached the World Series. (Casey Blake also came up short in three trips to an LCS, but his teams made it to Game 7 only once.)
Each of Beltran's attempts was spoiled by the Cardinals one way or another. His 2004 Astros and 2006 Mets lost to the Cardinals, and after Beltran joined them in 2012 they blew a 3-1 series lead to the Giants. Before last year's finale in San Francisco, the players sent out a group text among themselves with the message, "Let's win this one for Carlos."
"We were right there," Adam Wainwright says. "Gosh, we were right there."
Well, they were right there for about three innings, before the Giants took a 7-0 lead on the way to a 9-0 rout.
After Wainwright pitched St. Louis to an NLDS-clinching 6-1 victory Wednesday night, Beltran and the Cardinals are poised for another run at the Fall Classic. At 36 and in the last year of his two-year contract with the Cardinals, he knows time isn't on his side.
But if you think he will approach this series any differently, you haven't been watching him very closely. No matter what time of season, Beltran is one of those athletes who makes things look easy because he plays with such a relaxed style. He credits his methods for the enormous success he's enjoyed in the postseason.
"I mess with my teammates a lot that I live life at 80 percent," he says. "When you do things at 100 percent, you're out of control. So I live life at 80 percent and I can control my life the right way. I try to be as relaxed as I can be because that's something that works for me."
Cool on the outside doesn't mean he's not feeling the butterflies on the inside, though, at least initially.
"My first at-bat, you get anxious, you get emotional," he says. "Not like you want to cry but emotional, like, 'Wow, I worked so hard to get to this point and now here we are.' It's time to go out and try to make the most out of the opportunity. It's a great feeling, man. It doesn't get better than this."
New Yorkers consider the enduring image of Beltran standing in the box, bat on shoulders, frozen by a Wainwright curve that ended the 2006 NLCS. But elsewhere, he is considered the best postseason hitter of the past 10 years, with 16 homers and a .345/.453/.761 slash line. His average dropped after going only 4 for 18 against the Pirates, but two of his hits were homers.
While coming so close to the World Series might gnaw at many, Beltran accepts the results with as much grace as you see when he is gliding after a fly ball.
"I've been part of the losing three times, but I feel so proud just to be in that situation," he says. "You know how many players do not have those opportunities? I don't feel bad at all."
Quite the opposite, in fact. He gains a greater appreciation with every attempt in October.
"It doesn't get old," Beltran says. "You have to appreciate this. It's about playing in these types of games. For me, I appreciate every moment."
Cardinals home-grown outfielder Jon Jay is one of numerous young Cardinals who don't know what a season would be like if it ended earlier than October. Jay already has a World Series ring and will be playing in his third consecutive NLCS.
"Some of us, this is all we know," Jay says. "For a guy like Carlos, who has had so much success, we want to get him a ring."
Their next, and, possibly last, chance starts Friday.
(NOTE: In case you're wondering: The seven Cardinals on this NLCS roster who were part of a postseason roster in 2011: Freese, Jay, Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, Lance Lynn, Daniel Descalso and Adron Chambers).

We have used SWAS to observe the 110arrow101 rotational transition of ortho-H2O in a large sample of molecular clouds within the Galaxy. This transition arises from only 27 K above the ortho-H2O ground state, and thus is a unique probe of water in cooler molecular gas. Water emission was detected in nearly all giant molecular cloud cores observed. Maps of the emission were obtained for Orion and M17 and the spatial extent, line widths, and line center velocity of the emission are consistent with the emission arising in the cold, dense, quiescent gas of these cloud cores. In dark cloud cores, ortho-H2O was not detected in emission from the quiescent gas. However, in some dark clouds narrow water absorption features were detected at the velocity of the quiescent gas against broad water emission arising from outflows. Our estimates of the abundance of ortho-water relative to molecular hydrogen in giant molecular cloud cores range from 1\times10-9 to 1\times10-7, considerably smaller than the abundance of water found in the hot, shocked gas. Observations of ortho-H218O were also obtained in selected giant molecular cloud cores. Upper limits on the emission in this line yield abundance limits consistent with those derived from the main isotopic line. This work was supported by NASA's SWAS contract NAS5-30702 and NSF grant AST97-25951 to the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory.

WARREN - A 70-year-old Vienna man who was facing sex charges was found incompetent Thursday and ordered to a psychiatric facility to get treatment.
Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge John M. Stuard also ordered a status conference for Donald Beck on May 23 to determine if competency is restored through the Heartland Behavioral Center in Stark County.
Beck was examined by a psychologist who determined that Beck was unable to understand the proceedings he faced in court or unable to aid in his defense.
Assistant county prosecutor Gabe Wildman said Beck, who also has an address in Youngstown, faces Parkinson's disease and other health problems. Wildman described Heartland as a secured facility.
Beck was indicted earlier this year on charges of importuning and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and freed on bond in April. That bond was revoked in August for violating terms of his release.
He had been accused of sending lewd pictures of himself to a minor female family member.
Stuard ordered him to have no contact with the 15-year-old victim or her immediate family while the case was pending.
Girard police said the victim's family reported Beck drove by the home several times and made various calls to the house.
On July 24, Beck was also charged with disorderly conduct by Mill Creek Park police, who said Beck left a sexually explicit note on the car of two women who came to the park for a walk.
The females took a picture of Beck when he drove by and he asked them to call him at the same number left on the windshield of their car.
Later in July, Hubbard police said they stopped Beck on a report that he was following a female around in his car. Officers said when they approached Beck's car, he was found with a pocket knife and with his pants down and his fly unzipped. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Josh Huff is in the clear, and he has become Marcus Mariota's favorite target.
Plagued by a DUII arrest, a speeding citation (found not guilty of both in January after numerous delays) a knee injury last season, a stress fracture the year before, Huff has had to fight through adversity throughout his productive Oregon career. Despite missing three games in 2012 he led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns (493, 7). Finally healthy and at peace with the challenges of fame, the media, and playing in the top college football program in the west, Huff seems ready to bust out in 2013 with a career year.
A big-play guy: Huff made a leaping, stretching, one-handed grab on this play in last fall's Civil War. Efforts like these increase a quarterback's confidence in a receiver, knowing he can go to him in a tight spot. (oregonlive.com photo).
"I feel a little bit more comfortable," he told a gaggle of reporters at the spring game after nabbing four passes for 60 yards and two tds, all from Mariota in two quick quarters of work. Indeed, Huff looked the most at ease he'd been in three years of interviews, joking and smiling, showing off a gold phone accessory and a tee shirt that read "Don't Hassle the Huff."
Josh Huff has always played hard. Watch his highlight tape and you'll see second effort, tough catches in traffic, and a devastating stiff arm of Desmond Trufant on the way to a 34-yard touchdown. Watch the highlight tape of any of Oregon's other stars, and you'll find The Huff laying down punishing blocks on the perimeter. Kenjon Barner ran for 1767 yards last season, 21 touchdowns, and on a majority of those magnificent runs, Josh Huff threw a key block. He's a tough and unselfish football player, deeply respected in the Oregon locker room. Receivers coach Matt Lubick says of the senior from Houston, Texas:
He's a leader by example. He's the most physical wide receiver I've ever been around. He tries to destroy the defender. And he's a playmaker as well.
Blessed with 4.4 speed in the 40, Huff has improved his numbers for receptions, yards and touchdowns every season, and he's poised for a big leap in 2013 for a number of reasons. The Ducks want to put the game in Marcus Mariota's capable hands to much greater degree in his sophomore season, and he'll be looking for his gutty, reliable number one target. Huff has played extensively for 3 seasons. with 35 game appearances and 22 starts. He's filled a variety of roles in the offense and returning kicks, understanding as well as any Duck player the Oregon philosophy and what they're trying to do offensively.
He'll get a big boost from Lubick, the Webfoots new receiver coach and passing game coordinator, who turned out two 1,000-yard receivers last year at Duke. The son of long-time Colorado State Coach Sonny Lubick, he's a master of receiving fundamentals who'll help Josh and the other Duck pass catchers to improve their route-running with techniques like the pressure step, improved footwork, driving off the line of scrimmage to create separation from the defender.
The tutoring has to be exciting for Huff, who has the opportunity to not only blossom in his senior year but move on to the next level. Nfldraftscout.com rates the Duck standout as the #3 receiver in the 2014 draft, out of 340 available. At 5-11, 205, he's a strong, fast slotback who's not afraid of contact. A star running back as a Houston prep, Huff runs exceptionally well after he gets the ball. He's a master at getting extra yards, turning a 5 or 8-yard catch into a first down.
C.J. White of the website draftpanthers.com offered this evaluation:
The thing I really loved in Josh Huff's game is his ball security mentality. He plucks the ball from the air and immediately tucks it away as he explodes up field. Some of Huff's best traits, balance and vision, are clearly byproducts of his previous years playing running back and returning kicks. He has adequate acceleration and above average top end speed to become an even better YAC (yard after catch) producer.
(Video courtesy of Mike Wines, Oregon Duck Soup and madmike1951)
Huff improved his hands and concentration last season, and the video shows him making some incredible plays in tight spaces. He absorbs contact well, has great strength to the football and body control. He seemed to be coming into his own and developing a powerful rapport with Mariota late last season, grabbing six passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns at USC on November 3rd, 5 passes for 109 yards and 3 tds in a night game at California a week later. He had four receptions in the loss to Stanford, five in the Civil War for 62 yards, including that spectacular ball he dove for and tipped to himself.
Josh has grown as a pass catcher in other ways as well. His focus is better. He completes more of the routine plays that used to give him occasional trouble. He's learned to break off his routes and adjust back to the quarterback when Mariota has to leave the pocket and buy time, a refined wide receiver skill that led directly to one of his three touchdowns in the Cal game. The two have developed a trust factor that pays dividends in clutch situations, and Mariota is smart enough not to lock onto one guy.
All of his positive plays and the absence of injuries and controversy finally frees the sensitive, quiet role player to truly emerge in his final campaign as a Duck. The maturation of Mariota, De'Anthony Thomas, Byron Marshall, Colt Lyerla, Bralon Addison and Keanon Lowe, as well as the new presence of explosive freshman Thomas Tyner, means the defense's attention will be hopelessly divided in preparing for Oregon. The Huff will have plenty of opportunities to slip into the back of the end zone, run unimpeded down the seam, and shake, bake and stiffarm his way to extra yards and big plays. He could have the kind of breakout season Jeff Maehl enjoyed as a senior–he's always had the speed and talent; now he has the health, comfort level and confidence.

Washington — Top Goldman Sachs officials defended their conduct in the financial crisis today, flatly disputing the government's fraud allegations against the giant financial house. "I did not mislead" investors, insisted a trading executive at the heart of the government's case.
But they ran into a wall of bipartisan wrath before a Senate panel investigating Goldman's role in the financial crisis and the Securities and Exchange Commission fraud suit against it and one of its traders. Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan accused Goldman of making risky financial bets that "became the chips in a giant casino."
Fabrice Tourre, a 31-year-old trader at Goldman and the only company official directly accused in the SEC suit — testified that he does not recall telling investors that a Goldman hedge fund client had bought into an investment that soured. Instead, the hedge fund, Paulson & Co., bet against the security — and profited handsomely.
"I deny — categorically — the SEC's allegation," Tourre said. "And I will defend myself in court against this false claim."
Federal regulators said Tourre marketed an investment designed to lose value. In a brash January 2007 e-mail, one of many by him that have come to light, Tourre called himself "The fabulous Fab standing in the middle of all these complex, highly leverage exotic trades."
Tourre told the panel under questioning: "I regret the e-mails. They reflect very bad on the firm and myself. I wish I hadn't sent them."
About a half dozen protesters were in the committee room, dressed in prison stripes with names on signs around their necks of Tourre and Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who was also scheduled to testify. "Fabulous Fab is not so fab when he takes from the poor," the protesters spoke as a chorus before the hearing started. "We want to see these guys behind bars."
Ten days after the SEC action, the panel is looking into allegations that Goldman used a strategy that allowed it to profit from the housing meltdown and reap billions at the expense of clients.
Levin, the committee chairman, said actions by Goldman Sachs wreaked havoc on the economy. "Its conduct brings into question the whole system of Wall Street," Levin said.
He pressed Daniel Sparks, former head of Goldman's mortgages department, on whether the company felt it had a moral obligation to disclose to clients that it was making side bets against the same risky investments it was selling to them.
Sparks said the clients "should look at the assets themselves" that made up the mortgage-based securities they were buying. "Clients who did not want to participate in that deal did not," he said of one particular transaction.
Levin also asked Sparks about a $1 billion product called Timberwolf that Goldman sold to investors while betting against it. Levin cited an e-mail sent to Sparks from another Goldman executive using an expletive to describe Timberwolf as "one s----y deal."
"Your top priority is to sell that s----y deal," Levin said. "Come on, Mr. Sparks, should Goldman Sachs be trying to sell a s----y deal?"
"I didn't use that term," the Goldman executive responded.
Criticism of Goldman's behavior came from both sides of the aisle.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the top Republican on the panel, said Goldman officials were "celebrating the collapse of the housing market when the reality for millions of Americans is loss of homes and disappearing jobs."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that while there may not be proof that Goldman did anything illegal, a reading of e-mails from Goldman officials bragging about profiting from bets against the housing market showed "there's no doubt their behavior was unethical and the people will render a judgment as well as courts."
And Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., accused Goldman of "pure and simple raw gambling."
The hearing came as the Senate grapples with Democratic-sponsored legislation to overhaul the nation's financial regulation system and prevent another meltdown. The legislation would crack down on the kind of lightly regulated housing market investments that helped set off the crisis.
On Wall Street, Goldman's stock rose as much as $4.16 early in the hearing, but pulled back as the wider market declined. Still, it was one of the relatively few winning stocks, rising 88 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $152.91.
Edward Yardeni, an independent market analyst, said investors may have been reassured by the fact that the testimony hadn't revealed new details about the bank's dealings in risky investments.
"Despite the interrogation, the Goldman team hasn't really provided any new information," Yardeni said.
The SEC says Goldman concocted mortgage investments without telling buyers they had been put together with help from a hedge fund client, Paulson & Co., that was betting on the investments to fail. The agency also charged Tourre.
Goldman disputes the charges and says it will contest them in court.
Blankfein, in prepared testimony, repeated the company's assertion that it lost $1.2 billion in the residential mortgage meltdown in 2007 and 2008 that touched off the financial crisis and a severe recession.
He also argued that Goldman wasn't making an aggressive negative bet — or short — on the mortgage market's meltdown.
"We didn't have a massive short against the housing market, and we certainly did not bet against our clients," Blankfein said. "Rather, we believe that we managed our risk as our shareholders and our regulators would expect."
Levin asserted: "I think they're misleading the country."
The Senate panel provided excerpts of company e-mails showing a progression from late 2006 through the full-blown mortgage crisis a year later. Levin said they show Goldman shifted in early 2007 from neutral to a short position, betting that the mortgage market was likely to collapse.
"That directional change is mighty clear," Levin said. "They decided to go gangbusters selling those securities" while knowing they were sour.
"We have a big short on," Tourre wrote in a December 2006 e-mail.
Sparks wrote to other executives in March 2007, "We are trying to close everything down, but stay on the short side."

"The View," which airs weekdays on ABC, seems like a good idea in theory: four diverse women bringing their distinctive personalities to the table to tackle issues of the day, such as child rearing in the 21st century or, um, Patrick Dempsey's scruff. But, like most good ideas, it fails in practice because four distinctive personalities often feel the need to be heard on top of one another, especially on topics as weighty as McDreamy.
Frankly, it would be easy to blame all of this on Star Jones and the lunacy she suffered during the planning of her nuptials, or on Rosie O'Donnell and her hatred of that great American hero, Donald Trump. But instead, let's blame petite and perky Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Not because it's really her fault, but because she's the young, cute one a Kathie Lee Gifford in training, complete with the football player husband, NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck.
In fact, the only thing wrong with Elisabeth aside from spelling her name with an S is that she is making the rest of her co-hosts look frumpy. You see, from a style standpoint, Hasselbeck scores at will. (That's a phrase that has never been applied to her husband.) Of course, we expect her to know how to dress prior to joining "The View" in 2003 she hosted "The Look for Less" on Style Network. You may also recall her initial claim to fame came on "Survivor: The Australian Outback."
Now, you'd think that ABC would take advantage of its audience and include a significant amount of Hasselbeck's wardrobe choices on the show's Web site. But a visit there seems all well and good until you get to its online store, where you'll be greeted by what must be the weirdest choices imaginable. Want a knockoff of Jennifer Lopez's Oscar dress? A knockoff of Eva Longoria's gown she wore at the Golden Globes? Or dresses similar to those worn by Penelope Cruz, Beyonce, Drew Barrymore or Kate Winslet? Yep, that's 75 percent of the selection. True, they're better options than a mohair turtleneck worn by Joy Behar, but what they've got to do with "The View" is anyone's guess.
Nevertheless, the site does feature two very nice pieces by Diane von Furstenberg that Hasselbeck has been spotted in a jacket with beaded cuffs for a hefty $425 and a lacy summer dress at $374 built to hide pregnancies and other maladies.
Regardless of what you choose from "The View," we're sure it will help woo Dr. McDreamy the next time he takes a seat on your couch.

Teamsters Drop Bid to Organize Mechanics at American
"The recent announcement that the federal government will fight the proposed merger between US Airways
"American Airlines' emergence from bankruptcy has been cast into doubt and the union has determined that the continued conflict between labor organizations is not in the best interest of the workers," Caldwell said. "This is not a time for workers to fight among themselves."
On Monday, the Teamsters lost a bid to unionize mechanics and related workers at US Airways. On Tuesday, the Department of Justice said it will file suit to block the planned merger of US Airways and American. The Teamsters had hoped to represent mechanics and related workers at the combined carriers.
"More than 6,000 American Airlines mechanics and related personnel signed cards to make the Teamsters their bargaining representative," the Teamsters said Friday, announcing for the first time the number of American workers who had signed cards.
Recently the Transport Workers Union, which represents mechanics and related workers at American, had filed documents with the National Mediation Board alleging that some of those signatures were forged.

A photographer and a motivational blogger! You're a jack of all trades, aren't ya? (Well, except cooking, which is fine... sometimes it really sucks).
Great post. I love it. I feel like a bad ass when I lift.
Thanks Jenn. I'm glad you liked it. Bad ass is right. Women can kick some, too.
More proof I'm shrinking. Today I went on a walk with a couple women from a land conservation group I belong to and my only pair of hiking pants (breathable) were my old pair. The pair I bought when I was smaller. The pair I couldn't button properly anymore. Hesitantly I put them on. And buttoned them. Praise to bacon, they are actually comfortable and not so tight that I can't scramble properly (I often scramble and climb over and under things in my photography work). They could be looser at the waist, but basically they fit now.
And not a moment too soon either because another pair of pants I use as a measure haven't fit any differently in a couple weeks now. Once again I felt doubt. The specter of failure loomed. Why wasn't the fat 'melting off' like Mark says it will. Because he's a man and it's easier for him, that's why. Oy. My head knows this is a long process, but emotionally I still need those markers of success so I don't give up hope. So many other things have failed me that I seriously don't know how this failing would affect me.
But those hiking pants are proof. Also my favorite Royal Robbins shorts almost fit now. Almost. I suppose I could wear them, but they wouldn't be comfortable. I think I have an old pair of Royal Robbins pants, too, that haven't fit in years. In vain hope I think they're stashed somewhere and I'd be over the moon if I could wear them again, too. They're so useful when in the woods; lotsa pockets!
Yesterday's evening meal went like this -
PDD/S cheese | Ketel One martini w/2 onions
D | split chicken breasts with bone & skin | cauliflower sauteed with bacon | tomato & cukes w/s&p & OO | 09 Joullian Chardonnay
Slept ok, but woke in the middle of the night with a splitting headache. Took 3 advil and went back to sleep. Hubby woke me just after 6 so I wouldn't miss my outing. I was kinda awake already, but not fully. He's a sweetie.
B | coffee | 2 HBEs | lots of berries & the last of the goat's milk yogurt
L | 2 egg omelet w/fresh local scallions & tomatoes | 1/2 bratwurst | 8oz V8
Anyway...that's it for now. Am planning to get through another section of Good Calories, Bad Calories today. Am past the 1/2 way mark. It's such a dense book, but enlightening.
Dinnah was fab last night. We were able to eat out on the deck, which makes any meal better.
PDD/S | chardonnay | fresh, local goat cheese (aged) | pistachios
D | grilled NY Strip | zucchini | onion | sauteed spinach & shallots | KG butter & bleu cheese spread for all | 05 Smith & Hook Cab
Phew. I was seriously stuffed after that, but in a good way. The shallots & zucchini were local, the rest was not, but we're gradually improving that mix.
Slept fairly well, about on par with my usual. No prolonged wakeful periods, no biting cats and no headache. Still, I was awake before 6 and out of bed at 7 after perusing the web on the iPad. Made coffee and read and semi-bird-watched. Saw what I think was a juvenile phoebe outside my front window. A beauty. Never noticed one here before.
B | failed coconut flour pancakes...the second batch just wouldn't set up, but they tasted ok | 2 bacon strips | cheese
This morning I wanted to go walk or do something outside, but it climbed to over 90F so fast that I gave it up. Did hit a rather pathetic farmers' market (2 vendors) though...it was kind of sad because I think the heat kept everyone away. Still came home with a nice, big chicken, ground beef, some lovely red lettuce and a cuke. Oh and I am wearing a shirt that was a scoosh too tight before and actually tucked it into my shorts which used to fit, but now seem baggy. OMFG...is it working???? I almost think it's too good to be true.
L | biggish salad w/left over steak
PDD | chardonnay
D | grill roasted whole chicken from a local farm | mixed veg | 20?? Talbott Chardonnay
No dessert. Was relatively full and happy. Slept about as usual, woke, but didn't stay awake long. Actually dozed until almost 7 today, then I got up, had coffee. I think I'm switching to non-raw heavy cream because of the intense grass/hay aftertaste that just ruins my coffee. Emptied dishwasher. It seems we run it every 24 hours or so now. All this real cooking uses a ton of dishes even with just the two of us. And I do hand-wash quite a few things, like our good pans, knives and glassware.
Then I did some strength training -
5 mins TGU w/25lb db
3 x 10 deadlifts w/34lb kb
3 x 10 goblet squats w/25lb db (I think it's time to move up to the kb for these)
5 x 10-12 swings w/34lb kb
3 x 12 chest press w/25lb db
2 x 10, 1 x 8 arnold press w/20lb db
Bleah. It's so hot and gross inside or out that I am disgusting right now. Still I have stuff to do in my humid house, so I'll shower later.
B | 2 hen eggs | 3 bacon strips | 2 sauteed mushrooms | 4oz V8
Hopefully my favorite farmer, Steve, emails me back so I can meet up with him to buy some of his pastured chickens, ground beef and put in an order for 1/2 a pig. Also we're almost out of eggs. Husband is continuing to make room in the basement and do research on chest freezers, so it looks like that will happens soon. I'm pretty excited at the prospect of it.
Tomorrow am going out with my conservation group to look at and document a new piece of property we've acquired. Hopefully we won't be out long since it's going to be another scorcher.
Thomas is off his antibiotics and on his probiotics so I hope he continues to improve. I think I see a little uptick in his energy, although that could be wishful thinking.
S | 10-12 rasp and black berries
L | leftover chicken breast | l/o cauli & bacon | cheese | water | 8 or so macadamia nuts
Hi June! I would LOVE to join a conservation group! I love nature and anything that involves it. I was just saying to my stepmom this weekend that if I could, I'd take a job as a conservation officer.
We have had some seriously hot days here too. And isn't it such an amazing feeling when you discover your clothes are too big? I noticed it with a large tshirt I work this weekend. It was awful, but definitely looked a touch big. And today a gal at work told me I look baggy (meaning my clothing). It's a good feeling when people notice.
I thought about joining one for a while. Right now I'm a volunteer, but this seems to be where my passion really lies and so I may look for paying work within an organization I can feel passionate about.
So the day went like this -
Woke around 5:30-6, dozed for a bit. Got up from iPad surfing at 6:45. Made coffee.
B | goat's milk yogurt w/berries | 2 HBEs
Left to meet Allison. Drove up to site of easement to begin survey with Martha who owns abutting property and has much of her property under easement protection as well. Bushwhacked like CRAZY! The "trails" were so overgrown that I am totally scratched up from raspberry bushes. Oy. Dumb move. Should have zipped the lower parts of my hiking pants on for this one. Ah well, the next time I'll know. Luckily the sun stayed obscured by overcast clouds and it only got into the 80s ... with a dew point that was ridiculously high though and were were drenched in sweat within an hour. Just about when we were done, the sun came out. Recorded lots of flora and a bit of fauna judging by bird calls and moose/deer spore/tracks. And black bear sign too in the trees. I took some shots that might work as images and not just documentation, but I'll have to see.
Came back to Martha's and we had iced tea, homemade sausage, cheese and fresh peas in the pod from Martha's garden. It was delicious and it was funny when she apologized for serving crackers and brownies not knowing I was a non-grain eater. I had to laugh and ask if her crystal ball was in the shop or something, because it was a silly thing to apologize for - totally no need as the snack was terrific. I'm a bit in awe of Martha; she's a woodworker who had to leave a PhD program due to lyme disease, used to work managing recyling programs for towns and was also a grade-school teacher. She raises her own chickens (kills and butchers them, too), laying hens, bees and has a huge garden. She seems very connected to conservation efforts in and around her town and actively seeks and manages properties under easement. I am totally not that kind of woman, but I admire what she does.
So after that I tried to get some eggs at my usual farm, but once again he was out. The vagaries of lower hen production and a few people who come by once a month and buy dozens and dozens of eggs. There are now 2 doz in the fridge with my name on it that I will get after dropping hubby at the airport. After the egg failure I went and got some duck eggs in town, so we can at least have an eggy breakfast.
I literally had to scrub the dirt and grime off me today though and I think it was almost the best shower ever. Nice and cool (it was 92 today). Then I collapsed. Well, not really. Funnily enough my energy is still good. I was not really tired or depleted after my long, hot, sticky, picky morning and a small snack at 12. So great to not be on the carb-rollercoaster.
S | 4 celery sticks (local!!) w/chive goat cheese (also local...I love my goat people) and water
Dinner soon. I better go help!
Thanks much. Yeah, the hair thing is a nice bene.
Woke up, mostly before 5, dozed, then the alarm that husband forgot to turn off went off. Ugh. Perused web for a bit. Got up. Started his breakfast, he finished it. Drove to airport, said bye. Drove to farm. Got eggs. Drove home. Made coffee.
Phew. It's shaping up to be another scorcher today so I'll be hiding in the one room with AC.
B | 1 hen egg, 1 duck egg, fried | 2 bacon strips | 2 sauteed mushrooms | 8oz V8
Finally finished Good Calories, Bad Calories yesterday. Woah. It's dense, but it really puts light on the fact that our "knowledge" of fat, carbs, nutrition, metabolism, diabetes and a host of other health-related systems, diseases and processes is built on a pile of sand; bad studies, assumptions, ego and outright lies. It challenges those same people to do the studies they won't and to admit that the studies they love are mostly BS. But since there's no money in healthy people, it won't probably get done in my lifetime. Review is here if interested - [url=http://thebookmarque.blogspot.com/2012/07/good-calories-bad-calories-by-gary.html]Life is too short to read bad books.: Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, 2007[/url] - I know I'm kind of preaching to the converted here, but what the heck.
ljioejlad is a spammer...
Your friend with Lyme Disease would benefit from living Primally or Paleo-ly. I'm reading in "It Starts with Food" that Lyme Disease is a disease that is triggered by systemic inflammation and eating a Paleo diet will reduce systemic inflammation, eliminating her symptoms. Systemic inflammation is the problem with a lot of people. It's an interesting read, nonetheless, in my mind.
I'm glad you enjoyed your day. I'm envious of anyone who can explore the earth instead of being forced to work. I wish our life was simpler so I could quit my job - but DH and I would fight over who would actually get to stay home and who would have to bring home a check... :(
I've started ISWF and boy, what a major shift from Taubes. Totally different and I can't help but feel as if I'm being talked down to with ISWF. I know in my head that the purpose and audience for that book is not the same and people will need to be spoon-fed, but oy...it's quite a change. There are good points in there, but it feels glossed over. Maybe it will be effective for newbies though. Not sure yet. I still think The Primal Blueprint is a better choice for my fam when Christmas comes around, but I need to finish it and read Taubes's more mainstream distillation of GC, BC, Why We Get Fat. Definitely giving the PB cookbooks though - those were and still are a terrific help in breaking away from traditional recipes that include stuff we don't eat anymore.
As for Martha, yeah sure, she'd probably do better, but I'm so NOT in a position to advise or preach. She didn't bat an eye about my stated non-grain status, but we didn't talk about it because it wasn't a big deal. You know? Every situation has its own feel.
I did work until a few years ago. Long hours. High stress. For a long time. I think I broke myself. We can survive on his salary. We can't play as much, but we do ok. Eventually when I feel like work won't drive me to a warm bath with razor blades (kidding, really, I wasn't never even close to it, but I was miserable), I'll go back to something. It won't be the same thing though, that's for sure.
Had a strange bout of what I think now was some kind of extreme hunger when I don't think I should have had it. 3 1/2 hours after my nice breakfast I got a bit headachey and had an acute awareness that I had a stomach. Not quite nausea...just an awareness of my stomach. So...
L | usual salad w/some leftover NY strip on top | 8 macadamia nuts
Maybe for someone who already has a vast knowledge, it's a bit too dumbed down, but for someone without a degree in metabolism, who also needs to be motivated, I think it's a great book. I don't like the stuffy, all facts, no "personality" books. I think ISWF has personality - although it does sell the Whole30, but TPB also sold TPB...

THE Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney has announced that milk supplies to the end of December 2011, taking into account the relevant butterfat adjustment, were estimated at 0.08 per cent under quota.
This compares an end November position of 0.41 per cent over quota.
The Minister warned milk producers about the "very real threat of a milk super levy at the end of the 2011/2012 milk quota year, if milk production patterns were to mirror those in the final three months of last year."
Notwithstanding an easing off since summer 2011, milk production levels continued to remain above quota up to the end of November.
However, due to the continued positive and responsible action taken by farmers and their co-operatives, production was just under quota at year-end.
While the corresponding figure for this time last year was 1.87 per cent under quota, an increase in production of 1.5 per cent over quota over the final three months left year-end production dangerously close to quota, at just 0.37 per cent under.
"A similar production pattern for the final three months of this year will inevitably lead to a super levy charge, and that this could have very serious financial consequences for affected farmers," he said.
Minister Coveney acknowledged the frustrations of farmers wishing to expand their enterprises in preparation for the period post-2015 but said that it was clear, at this point, that a quota system would continue to operate until 2015, re-emphasising that any expansion needs to be synchronised with the gradual increase in quotas and their abolition in April 2015.
Against this background it remains critically important that individual operators continue to manage their enterprises within quota in the intervening period.

But Foy can handle it. She's just 10 years old, but already a seasoned professional.
Foy, who will play Renesmee, the vampire/human love child of Pattinson's Edward Cullen and Stewart's Bella Swan, already boasts an impressive résumé filled with advertising and television work.
The adorable Suri Cruise look-alike has done print ads for Mattel, Talbots, Guess and Gap, appeared in TV commercials for Burger King and BlackBerry, and guest-starred on Charmed and Hawaii Five-O.
Stewart, 20, has already given Foy her stamp of approval. She told MTV that upon seeing photos of Foy for the first time, she remarked, "That's so weird. She sort of looks like Bella, which is absolutely right."
Meanwhile, Pattinson, 24, will share an awww moment with Foy in Breaking Dawn by reportedly playing "Renesmee's Lullaby" on the piano for his onscreen daughter.
Foy's professional side was very much in evidence when she arrived in Vancouver this week for filming. As she signed autographs, PEOPLE asked her what she was looking forward to during the shoot. "Just working," she replied.

Bethenny Frankel is on to her next small-screen venture.
The entrepreneur and former Real Housewives of New York star, 41 – who also stars on Bethenny Ever After with her husband Jason Hoppy – will debut her new daily, one-hour talk show Bethenny for six weeks in the summer on select FOX-owned stations, it was announced Tuesday.
Executive produced by Frankel and Ellen DeGeneres, the program will feature the reality star's "no-nonsense perspective on everything from pop culture and current events, to relationships, beauty, fitness and lifestyle segments," according to a press release.
Frankel says she's "thrilled" about the upcoming show. "My passion is connecting to, inspiring and being inspired by my fans," she says. "The queen of too much information is coming to daytime."

With monthly beauty subscription services tailored to men, to women of color, and to everyone — and online venues to get t-shirts, shoes, and dapper men's kits delivered once every thirty days — how about a service that caters to something that represents an actual once-a-month need? Yes, you know what we're talking about.
Its name obfuscates its intention, but Le Parcel is that particular service. The start-up delivers monthly installments of feminine hygiene products, with the idea that getting the box in the mail will prevent the need for emergency drugstore runs (and you can time your installments as needed). The box also comes with chocolate. So, sorry savory-cravers who don't fit the cliché, you're out of luck.
The service is $15 per month, which, frankly, we think is kind of steep. On the other hand, that's it. The Internet officially offers everything now.

LeBron James on David Letterman (VIDEO)

Before leaving practice Thursday, LeBron James learned that he would receive his NBA Player of the Month award — for January — during Tuesday's home game against Sacramento.
Dwyane Wade chose to inform James of something else:
"You got some competition now. You thought you had the Player of the Month locked up from now on? It's the Lin Show."

TIM How, the boss of wine warehouse chain Majestic, says he wants to tap into the growing demand for an expensive tipple by adding a chain of fine wine outlets in the next year.
Majestic saw the number of people willing to spend more than 20 a bottle rise by 30% in 2005 and How believes it is a market that is increasingly gathering momentum.
Plans are now under way to roll out 25 'store-within-a-store' fine wine shops across the warehouse chain.
How said: "Fine wine has shown very encouraging growth over the last year. This is part of a move within the market that has seen average price points nudging up as people become more interested in wine.
"We now have a plan, which we are executing, to roll out the concept of fine wine [anything over 20 a bottle] within 25 of our stores next year."
Earlier this year research by market analysts AC Nielsen showed wine consumption, which had risen every quarter since the early 1980s, had ground to a halt just below the 92 million case mark and is now in shallow decline. In the first 16 weeks of 2005, Britain drank 313 million bottles of wine, against 308 million bottles in the same period this year - a 1.5% dip.
How refused to comment on the research, saying it was "too early to draw a conclusion", but the Majestic initiative is clearly designed to safeguard against any stagnation in sales.
Majestic is also looking to ramp up the expansion of its chain. Presently it has 129 stores and is opening on average six a year. How wants to build the chain up to 200 stores, opening 10 a year.
"There are still lots of catchments where we feel we could open a store. In Scotland we need a store in Aberdeen and we are hoping to achieve that in this financial year. Equally, we would like to double our presence in Edinburgh to four."
Majestic unveiled its preliminary results last month, with sales rising 6% from 162.5m last year to 172.2m, and pre-tax profits up 9.8% to 14.2m.

Much like the wine industry in California, Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD ) has made its opposition to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in Germany well known. Due to purity laws dating back to the 1500s, German brewers are worried about the contamination of their water sources, which must remain absent of any unnatural additives.
Other than geological impossibilities, environmental issues have ranked near the top of the list of headwinds facing the industry. That's why it would be wise for companies that stand to profit from its widespread use to address these issues in their research and development phases. There are two companies that Motley Fool analyst Taylor Muckerman has placed his faith in to help alleviate some of this strain. Check out the video below for details.
One company is continuing to test the boundaries of fracking technology
Domestic oil and gas services companies have taken a hit due to a slowdown in the natural gas drilling boom of the last couple of years. As this market looks to rebound, investors would be wise to consider Halliburton, one of the top companies in the business and one of those most in tune with the domestic market.

Lives Behind Bars
What Happened to Some of America's Most Famous Criminals—From Pamela Smart to Mark Hacking—After the Headlines Stopped and the Prison Door Slammed Shut
Sentence: Life without parole
Held at: Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, N.Y.
Bedtime, Pamela Smart says, is the worst part of the day. That's when "I think and pray most about all the wasted lives in my past and present," she says. The former school administrator from New Hampshire, convicted in 1991 of manipulating her 16-year-old student lover Billy Flynn into killing her husband, Gregg, has spent many such nights—and seems destined to spend many more. Sitting in a conference room at Bedford Hills, by turns self-deprecating and introspective, the woman whose case became a national sensation, spawning the movie To Die For, offers her formula for survival. "My spirit," she says, "gets the most strength from being busy."
In that sense Smart has used the 14 years she has spent at Bedford Hills productively. She has earned two master's degrees—one in law and one in English literature—and is now participating in a program in pastoral counseling (her studies have all been privately funded). Her goal is to set up an inmate-to-inmate counseling program at the prison. In the mornings she serves as a teacher's aide, tutoring other inmates, and in the afternoons she works as a porter, scrubbing floors and the like. In her spare time she reads and watches television with other inmates—" Prison Break is really popular," she says. She and some other inmates prepare their own food, though Smart professes that she has little appetite and generally takes only one meal a day.
The reality of her incarceration is never far away. Eleven years ago she was beaten by two other inmates and has a plate in the left side of her face. She takes medication for chronic pain and, according to family friend Dr. Eleanor Pam, sometimes thinks of suicide. "She has many, many, many dark days," says Dr. Pam.
With all appeals exhausted, Smart and her supporters have continued to maintain that she was railroaded. They argue that someday she deserves a chance for parole, pointing out that the actual triggerman, Flynn, is eligible for release in 2018. But two years ago New Hampshire's Gov. John Lynch rejected the idea of giving Smart a break for such a "brutal" crime. "She was fairly convicted by a jury of New Hampshire citizens," he said, "and she was fairly sentenced." That hasn't deterred her family and friends. "I won't allow her to give up," says her mother, Linda Wojas. Yet even Smart seems aware that, at this point, redemption may be nearer at hand than freedom. As she put it in an open letter two years ago, "I live every day with the ominous realization that I will only leave here in a casket."
Sante Kimes, 72
Sentence: Life
Held at: Bedford Hills
Earliest release date: 2119
No one expected prison to soften septuagenarian scam artist Sante Kimes, who, with the help of her son Kenny, murdered an elderly woman in 1998 as part of a plan to steal the victim's $7 million Manhattan townhouse. But Kimes has managed to exceed even her own hard-boiled reputation. Though graying and frail, she has spent virtually all of her three years at Bedford Hills in solitary confinement—what prisoners call "the box"—for a wide range of offenses. She has been caught with a "shank"—a homemade prison knife (hers was fashioned out of a ballpoint pen)—and last year was written up for threatening a guard and causing a ruckus in her cell block. In that case Kimes objected to being served applesauce instead of tuna fish for dinner and shouted, "I will get you for this! You're trying to kill me!"
Meanwhile, Kenny, 32, who ratted out his mother on another murder charge and is now serving a life sentence in California, has proved to be a problem inmate in his own right. In 2000 he took a Court TV reporter hostage during an interview at New York's Clinton Correctional Facility and held a pen to her neck during a four-hour standoff before being overpowered by officers.
Keeping Sante in lockdown for 23 hours a day (she is allowed an hour of court-mandated exercise) reduces her opportunity for similar antics—not to mention sparing the guards and inmates her none-too-cheery presence. Says a source with knowledge of Bedford Hills: "She gives the other inmates the creeps."
Mark Hacking, 30
Sentence: Life
Held at: Utah State Prison, Draper, Utah
Earliest parole date: 2034
Mark Hacking couldn't quite make a success of himself in the real world. His lies about going to college and medical school led to his murdering his wife, Lori, in 2004 after she found out about his deception. But Hacking seems to be getting along quite nicely behind bars. "We've had no problems at all with him," says Utah Dept. of Corrections spokesman Jack Ford. "He keeps advancing in the system as far as privileges." The only glitch came last June, when authorities discovered that Hacking was sending out autograph samples to associates on the outside—and that the samples were then being auctioned online on so-called "murderabilia" Web sites. (When told not to pass along any more autographs, he readily agreed.) As a high-profile inmate, Hacking is housed in a maximum security facility at the prison for his own protection while he adapts to prison life. But at some point in the future, Hacking will likely be put in the general population. He will then be eligible to take college classes and perhaps work toward a real degree.
Richard Allen Davis, 52
Sentence: Death
Held at: San Quentin State Prison, San Quentin, Calif.
Earliest release date: Still awaiting mandatory appeal
His crime—the abduction and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas from a slumber party in 1993—made him a reviled figure throughout the country. In the years since, Richard Allen Davis has earned an equally dubious distinction as the pariah of San Quentin's death row. "He is probably the most hated person in the Department of Corrections," says San Quentin spokesman Sgt. Rudy Luna. Part of his notoriety stems from the fact that his crime spawned the "three strikes law," mandating 25-years-to-life for a third felony. Other inmates have spit on him; two years ago another convict launched an unprovoked attack on Davis, who was shackled and under escort for a medical appointment at the time.
Luna believes Davis has deteriorated "both physically and mentally." In an incident five years ago, he says, Davis threw a tray at him, but now he is quieter and almost reclusive, choosing to never go out in the prison yard. He prefers the last shower of the day so he can wash his prison garb in a bucket—some inmates become attached to their own pants and tee shirts—since items sent to the laundry are not inmate specific.
Last July, Davis was briefly taken to the hospital following an overdose of opiates. (Authorities suspect he got the drugs from one of his many visitors.) That incident cost him privileges, including contact visits, the use of a phone and the right to pursue his beloved hobby of painting, leaving him more isolated than ever.
Susan Smith, 35
Sentence: Life
Held at: Leath Correctional Institution, S.C.
Projected parole date: 2024
Susan Smith, who infamously drowned her two young sons by plunging them into a lake in South Carolina in 1994 while the boys were strapped into car seats, hasn't stopped attracting attention. In 2000 she was found to have had sex with two male prison guards. (Both guards were fired; Smith was deemed a victim and was not punished.) In 2003 she arranged to have a personal ad posted online, soliciting pen pals "who are not judgmental and who are sincere." The posting caused a furor and was quickly taken down. Says Rev. Toni White, Smith's longtime chaplain, who visits her once a month: "She can be pretty naive sometimes." But White also insists Smith is using her time behind bars to get her life together. "She has had a tremendous need to please in the past, particularly with men," says Rev. White. "But she has matured a lot." One sign of Smith's personal progress: She now serves as the chairwoman of her inmate representatives committee.
Eric Rudolph, 40
Sentence: Four life sentences, two 40-year sentences, two 20-year sentences
Held at: The U.S. Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum, Florence, Colo.
Earliest release date: None
For five years Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph evaded federal agents by hiding out, mostly on his own, in the North Carolina wilderness. But since pleading guilty in 2005 to the attack at the 1996 Atlanta Games, as well as bombings at two abortion clinics and a dance club, which killed two, Rudolph has had his powers of self-reliance put to a severe test. Inmates at the prison known as Supermax spend their days in 7-ft.-by-12-ft. self-contained living quarters, each with a bed, concrete desk, sink, toilet and shower. Visits with loved ones are noncontact, and TV is black-and-white. Rudolph is out of his cell for an hour a day of solitary exercise. In a series of letters to a reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette, Rudolph complained that being sequestered 23 hours a day in a "closed-off world designed to isolate inmates from social and environmental stimuli" was inhumane. Ed Bales, a federal prison consultant who has worked with Supermax inmates, acknowledges that it is not hard to come unhinged under such conditions. "It's like being in the hole," says Bales. "After about five years they begin to lose their mental faculties."
