Lancaster County residents may soon have one more representative fighting for their rights in Columbia.
Using data collected from the 2010 U.S. Census, the S.C. House of Representatives recently released its proposed redistricting maps for all 124 state districts. And based on increases in population numbers, Lancaster County could soon see four state House representatives.
Tired of seeing partially demolished structures marring local landscapes, Lancaster County Council recently discussed a possible solution.
At council's May 23 meeting, several members sounded off about problems with the unsightly remains of structures across the county needing to be demolished. As a way to fix the problem, council discussed first reading of an ordinance requiring performance bonding for the demolition of properties with 20,000 square feet or more.

Holy smokes it's hot!
While summer may not officially start until June 21, with weather like we've had for the last few days, it sure feels like it decided to come early.

The Lancaster County Water and Sewer District (LCWSD) will hold a public hearing Monday to present its 2011-2012 budget.
The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. at the LCWSD offices in Lancaster, located at 1403 Kershaw Camden Highway.
Assistant District Manager Steve White said this year's projected revenue and operations budget comes in at $18,940,000, nearly $445,000 more than last year's $18,495,05 budget.
The proposed budget includes an annual 2 percent rate increase.

A person in Atlantic who fastens books together and puts covers on them is generally known as a bookbinder. The origination of book binding was in India. In the ancient era the holy sutras were copied with a metallic stylus on the palm leaves which were cut laterally into two pieces. Then the leaf was dried and ink was rubbed in the same. This would create a tint in the space. The completed leaves were named with numbers, and two long strings were threaded through each end through wooden boards. However, from the 5th century onwards the Western books were bound between hard covers, and the pages were prepared from parchment crumpled and stitched with strong cords. These cords were attached to the wooden boards and were protected with leather. Earlier the books were entirely handwritten using handmade tools, hence the sizes and styles varied significantly. As a result, each book was a unique creation. People who live their livelihoods by printing books are known as Book Printers in Atlantic. This profession has been now extended to print-press also. Book printing includes hard cover or soft cover books consuming a wide variety of binding categories. Apart from this, publishing software applications or some version of book printing software is often used also.

Debt collectors who collect payday loans are often extremely abusive.
Payday loan debt collectors often threaten to sue, serve process, file criminal charges, or threaten jail or prison time. It is surprisingly common for payday loan collectors to call consumers' friends, relatives, and place of employment.
The appropriate response to most of these payday loan debt collectors is to find an experienced FDCPA lawyer and file a debt harassment lawsuit.
There is also a new breed of payday loan collector. In December, 2010,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned consumers to beware of debt collection scams involving delinquent payday loans.
The Internet Crime Compliance Center ("IC3") reports that :
"The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services."
The scamsters have accurate information about the consumer and the payday loan including the consumer's Social Security Number,
date of birth, address, employment information, bank account numbers, and credit references (i.e., names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends.) The scam artists may be obtaining this information through "phishing", fake websites or web pages or even data breaches.
Do NOT pay the scamster! According to the FBI :
"These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller."
If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should request the collection agency's address and promptly send a validation letter requesting that the collection agency verify or validate the debt.
Consumers who receive such calls also promptly contact an experienced debt harassment lawyer.
If you are a Florida consumer who is receiving calls from a debt collector who is demanding that you pay a payday loan account, you are welcome to contact me using the Collection Harassment Contact form in the right hand column or call my office.
If you live outside Florida, you are welcome to complete the Collection Harassment Contact Form and I will try, as a courtesy, to provide you with the name(s) of experienced debt harassment lawyers who are licensed to practice law in your state.

Lincoln Electric Automation's RoboPipe system integrates features and functions for automated pipe welding and fabricating of carbon steel, stainless steel or duplex stainless steel. The system is driven by the Power Wave 455M/STT welding machine, which is rated to deliver 450 amps, 38 V at 100-percent duty cycle or 570 amps, 43 V at 60-percent duty cycle. The welding machine is suited for pipe-welding applications where heat input control, minimal distortion and reduced spatter are essential, the company says.
Equipped with several Lincoln Nextweld technologies, the welding machine features Waveform control technology and Surface Tension Transfer (STT) for maximum control of the arc characteristics. This particular robot-ready package is capable of welding a pipe root with STT and then changing on-the-fly to Pulse Spray MIG transfer mode for the hot, fill and cap passes. The system also can be customized to meet specific requirements and specifications.
The company's advanced control technology is designed to expand system capabilities while simplifying operation. The system features multiple E-stop locations, customized pipe welding program logic and the ability to save approximately 500 weld programs. Additional options can also be added, including manual or automatic seam tracking, thru-arc seam tracking (TAST) or vision-based tracking. For increased productivity, a tandem MIG system can also be integrated into the robotic pipe welding system to improve speed and deposition rates.

Bradford Doolittle of ESPN Insider says the Thunder are fallers: "The Thunder are a paradox. On one hand, Oklahoma City is a clear championship contender, with a big three of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka that is as strong as any other team's core. However, the talent around that trio has been whittled away by cap restrictions and the Thunder's position is much more tenuous than it was a year ago at this time. For one, James Harden was still a part of the equation back then. Now, not only is Harden gone but so is his replacement, with Kevin Martin now in Minnesota. No good team has as big a lineup hole as Oklahoma City has in the middle with nonproductive center Kendrick Perkins. The fifth starter, Thabo Sefolosha, is solid, but he's strictly a role player. Beyond the starters, the Thunder have talent but also a lot of unknowns. Can Jeremy Lamb take a step forward? Can Reggie Jackson repeat the gains he made in the playoffs after Westbrook was injured? Are any of DeAndre Liggins, Andre Roberson, Steven Adams, Perry Jones III or Grant Jerrett ready to contribute? Is Derek Fisher really expected to do anything at age 39?"
Sean Fennessey of Grantland comparing Kendrick Lamar's to KD: "What Kendrick Lamar has done is sui generis. It's a sort of in-game shit-talking session. This is what Kevin Durant does when he shows up for the Drew League — I really am this good. Try and stop me. Only Kendrick sounds angry. I'm on the record about Kendrick. He's already more talented and more accomplished than everyone on that list of his, save Drake depending on how you feel about the commingling of luxury, sensitivity, and ignorance. But it doesn't make the verse any less jarring."
Olivia Wilde says Russell Westbrook is her style icon.
James Harden's new commercial is pretty funny.
Berry Tramel on KD's love of Seattle: "In May, Kevin Durant wore a Seattle SuperSonics cap to a Thunder shootaround in Memphis. Over the weekend, Durant played a streetball game back in Seattle and turned all melancholy. "I love and miss Seattle…damn" he tweeted. To which I say, I…" I don't know what happens next because it's behind a paywall.

Did literally nothing for me except give me thrush (at 14...great) but worked for my brother - he was 16, had moderate cystic acne and this was the first thing he used. It cleared him up completely and seven years later his skin is still perfect.
E-Mycin worked wonders for me. My Derm put me on 2x400mg doses a day before I started on the Iso and it has helped sooooo much. Derm has left me on it while starting Iso so I am hoping it will help with the IB too.
I know long term antibiotics aren't for everyone, but these ones were a god sent for me and I will happily keep taking them to have clearer skin!
It doesn't work on me at all, with bad side effect!
This was one of the antibiotics that the dermatologist gave me.
This was a long time ago , about 25 ? , years ago .
I kind of had to figure it out how to use it ,I had to take it either 2 hours before a meal or 2 hours after , never ever with a meal , or I would end up with a horrible stomach ache,with really bad cramps ,.
Believe me, the worst thing , one day I had my sister who came to visit from mexico and I don't know if you know how easy it is for people who were born in Mexico, but she got sick and asked me if I had some antibiotics and I said yes,I have some left overs that I had used for my acne , then I just gave her some erythromycin, oh my gosh I forgot to tell her about when to take it , so she got pretty sick , good thing she managed and didn't go to the hospital.
Well erythromycin is not a miracle I mean like any other antibiotic, I think that after taking it for a while ,I mean I used to take it like for 3to 6 month periods, so the bacteria got kind of resistance to it.
Erythromycin did not control my acne by itself ,I had to use topical acne treatments with it .
I think it kind of work at the beginning, then after the bacteria got used to it , it didn't .
So , like any other antibiotic , topical treatment has to go with it .
The consequences of forgetting the right time to take it are really bad ,I wouldn't recommend using this.
My acne has improved amazingly, 4 months ago my cheeks, forehead and chin were red and covered in spots where as now my chin and forehead are practically clear and a few spots and redness remains beside my nose. I have been prescribed to take this for a year so hopefully by then my skin will be completely clear.
It treated another skin problem I had but did nothing to acne.
I took oral antibiotics back in high school. I refer to them as a "bad joke." They did absolutely nothing for me. Plus, as more evidence comes out, we are vastly overusing antibiotics and creating resistant strains of bacteria. In my opinion, there is no place for antibiotics in acne treatment. Benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria much more quickly and thoroughly, actually does clear the skin, and does not come with the side effects.
i used to have very oily and acne-prone skin. Before i try this antibiotic, i got 1-3 cystic acne per month and after that i had zero after taking for around 3 month. But still there will be around 2-4 zits and whitehead for me per week. For my oily skin, i think it make my oiliness worse. i just think this is a suitable medication for those with mild acne ONLY ... and ... imma 19 yrs old asian boy ~~Cheers !!
It made me feel dizzy and doesn't do anything about my acne. My suggestion is to stay away from antibiotics as much as possible because the side effects is damaging and your acne can develop resistance to it.
This did work really well for me but the effects of the antibiotic slowly wore off and after a while my acne came back with a vengeance. It's great when you first start on it but the clear skin is short-lived so it's pointless.

here at Ames for 18 years. I have spent about one third of this time doing
experimental research in wind tunnels, and about two thirds of the time
in computational research, applying computer flow simulations to evaluate
new airplane concepts, or develop more refined theories. I have studied
advanced design concepts like the "oblique wing" and the "joined wing,"
done design optimization on winglets (wingtips turned up like small fins),
and studied an unusual flow control device called a "vortilon" that makes
the stall characteristics of commercial transports safer. I am currently
working on a project to improve the design methods used for business jets.
My Career Path
My father is also an aeronautical engineer, so I was exposed to the kinds
of things he worked on even when I was very little. I can remember being
two or three years old, and my bedtime reading was usually browsing through
Aviation Week magazine. My coloring books had pictures of airplanes.
I started building and flying model airplanes when I was about 8 years
I grew up with a deep love of nature, spending hours
watching and drawing birds at the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Center and
Foothills Park. I was good in math but I really liked biology too, and
through most of middle school and high school, I was pretty set on a career
in life sciences. In high school, I had a great teacher for both chemistry
and physics, and from these classes I saw how I could turn my fun with
airplanes into a fun career. I picked the University of California at
Davis for college because it offered aeronautical rather than aerospace
engineering, and because it was a great spot for bicycling.
I came to Ames Research Center straight out of college,
and started working on a wind tunnel project using miniature jet engines
in a model of a jet fighter. After that project, I went to Stanford University
for a year to get a Master's degree. When I came back to Ames, I worked
on the joined wing project which required me to develop new methods for
structural analysis that were fast enough to work together with airflow
simulations. The joined wing is a complicated structure because the horizontal
tail is stretched out and bent forward to connect with the wing, providing
a kind of diagonal brace. The bracing lets the airplane have a longer
wingspan for the same structural weight. Long wingspan is good because
it reduces one source of drag called "induced drag" that comes from the
creation of lift from the airflow.
While I was at Stanford, I realized that there was
much more to learn to be a good airplane designer, and I also decided
that some day, I would like to be a college professor. So I started working
on my Ph.D. part time as part of my research at NASA in 1988. Part-time
graduate study was slow, but I finally finished my Ph.D. in 1995. I continue
my research here at Ames, but I also keep my eye out for a chance to teach
at a college somewhere in the west.
What's Great About My Job
Engineering research draws on a huge variety of little jobs. When I want
to do a wind tunnel test, I need to design the model and work with the
machine shop to build it the way I want it. I must submit a report of
strength calculations to prove it won't break. I select the instruments
I want to use to take measurements of the forces like the lift and drag,
and the surface pressures on the wings. I choose the flow conditions I
want to simulate in the tunnel, and I evaluate the results.
When I want to do computer simulations, one of the
hardest things is getting an accurate representation of the shape of the
airplane. Sometimes developing the geometry takes more time than any other
part of the research. Making sure the computer is giving the right answers,
and making sure I'm asking the right questions, are both very important
for design. Of course evaluating and understanding the results are the
main goal.
Whatever the goal of the research is, it always breaks
down into many smaller tasks, so the variety keeps work from getting boring.
Our most important task is publishing the results. It doesn't do anyone
any good to spend time and money to do research if the results are not
published so everyone can use them. Most engineers and scientists are
not trained to be good writers, so publishing is often the hardest part.
But its also the most satisfying part of our work. When a report is finished
and distributed, and other researchers and designers learn from your work
to make their designs better, that's fantastic.
Just like any other job, not everything is fun. To
do a research project, you must explain to managers why it's important
and how it will improve technology. There are other good ideas that deserve
funding also, so sometimes there isn't enough money or wind tunnel time
to do something. Sometimes managers don't recognize the potential benefits,
and often designers would like to keep doing things ''the old way'' so
they don't pay attention to your ideas. And of course, just like Dilbert's
job, there are too many meetings.
Well, most everyone will tell you to study math and science. I think its
important to study writing and history too. The basic product of my work
is knowledge. What I learn goes into the big pool of technical understanding
about how airplanes work best. Aircraft designers and other researchers
learn from my work by reading my publications, so clear writing skills
are important.
The history of science and math is not taught very
much in school. I think it's important to understand how it is that we
know what we know. How did scholars approach science before Galileo's
time, and after? When did scientists start to understand the flow characteristics
around wings, or in fluid boundary layers. How did mathematicians invent
calculus? I think every engineer should know more about the "cultural
heritage of engineering."
I'm happily married, with a dog and a cat. We spend most of our time remodeling
our little house, but we also love hiking and skiing. Jenni and I share
a deep love for nature and wilderness. My biggest hobby is flying sailplanes.
Modern sailplanes are very streamlined and efficient, built from carbon
fiber and Fiberglas composites. I have a high-performance sailplane with
a 15 meter wingspan that I use to race and fly for fun. We use a powered
towplane with a 200-foot rope to get up to about 2000 feet. From there,
we release and look for thermals, rising areas of air, circling in them
to climb just like hawks. The thermals often go to 15,000 feet, sometimes
higher. Then we glide from the top of the thermal, sometimes many miles
before finding the next one. My longest ''cross-country'' flight was over
400 miles and took almost 6 hours.
I also fly powered airplanes, and I'm starting to
build a home-built airplane of my own design.

Blayne Chastain tells the story of how music not only became a lifestyle, it became a calling, with a guitar on his lap in his Greeley home.
Every 15 seconds or so, he plays a note — ping — to make a point, and at the end of a sentence, he strums a chord that, musically, tacks on a period.
His wife, Deborah, sits a few feet away, just a finger's length from their piano, but she leaves the keys alone during the conversation. Deborah likes the guitar playing. She even prefers it because of what sits on the piano. It's an Irish flute. That, she said, practices her patience sometimes.
"Sometimes he would practice certain lines or passages, just over and over," Deborah said with a smile. "Imagine listening to THAT for hours."
Still, that's part of being a Chastain. Their children, music and God are their lives, and given that Deborah works at St. Patrick Presbyterian Church in Greeley, and Blayne is the director of music and arts there, it's probably not fair to ask what (or who) comes first. But they've shared their love for music — and specifically Irish music — not only with their church, where they will slip in an Irish hymn or two during a service — but with Greeley, as well. At least twice a year, they host a concert at the church that features some of Blayne's talented friends. On Friday, Moria Smiley and her group, VOCO, will headline a concert, with the Chastains opening.
The Chastains also lead an Irish play-along Thursday nights at Patrick's Irish Pub a couple of blocks from St. Patrick's in downtown Greeley. The Patrick's play-along is a semi-serious gathering of musicians to play traditional Irish folk songs, just the way they do it in Ireland. They play a tune, and the point is to honor the tune, not to jam over it like they were blues musicians. But effort is applauded more than skill, the Chastains said, and if you know the tune and can play it to the best of your ability, you are encouraged to join in.
Blayne studied jazz guitar at the famed Berklee College of Music and spent some time in Nashville, but both came to Greeley after searching for ways to grow as a Christian, as well as a musician. They read about the new St. Patrick's church and helped get it going with Shane and Jean Sunn in 2001.
He then fell in love with Irish music after hearing a band, Siucra, on KUNC — that's where the Irish flute comes in — and now is one of the leading musicians in the area in that genre. Both love the music — Deborah learned how to play the Irish drum, despite her mild reservations about the pesky flute — and they spent a sabbatical in Ireland years ago. They run an Internet business, Whistle and Drum, that sells Irish instruments.
They have had two kids since then. Grady is 3 and Erin is 5. Even they reflect their love for all things Irish. Erin, of course, is named after the country, and Grady was, um, made in Ireland, the two said with a laugh. The two, in fact, may do even more with their music now that they are "coming out of the trenches of having little kids," Blayne said. Maybe a tour, or maybe there will be more shows at the church. Blayne's also encouraged by his web instruction. He has more than 200 students now. And he's working on a documentary about the world's best Irish wooden flute maker.
Blayne, despite his music background, doesn't want to be gone for too long. The documentary kept him away from home a lot this year, and he's not sure a tour would be good for him, even if his family came along and he did release an album a couple of years ago.
"I always looked forward to being home when I was on the road with that," Blayne said.
Both don't feel the need to move back to Nashville. Blayne said he might feel that, the pull of his music career, but the University of Northern Colorado and its nationally ranked music school give him a wealth of talented performers to play with on Thursday nights or gig with or have them guest at the church. The church lets him do what he wants, and Deborah is happy with her work there as well. They love Greeley. They had a chance to start a church in Denver with St. Patrick's a couple years ago, and after some thought, they turned it down.
"There should be great musicians everywhere in your town," Blayne said, "and you should serve the community you live in. This is home."

John Gast (painter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Gast (21 December 1842, Berlin, Prussia – 26 July 1896, Brooklyn. New York),[1] was a Prussian-born painter, printer and lithographer who lived and worked most of his life in Brooklyn, New York. He is most famous for painting American Progress, an allegory of Manifest Destiny that was widely disseminated in chromolithographic prints. Other than that, little is known about him.

on September 8, 2012 - 11:38 PM
, updated September 9, 2012 at 7:39 AM
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Ryan Fitzpatrick is used to the doubts. He's dealt with them since his high school days in Arizona, when none of the state's Division I colleges came calling. The criticism followed him into the NFL. When he performed, well, he was a sensation. But as soon as he struggled, he was suspect again, the smart guy from Harvard.
So as we begin a new NFL season, Fitzpatrick is the rag-armed quarterback from Harvard again. He enters his second season as the Bills' unquestioned starter. That does not mean there aren't questions. From the grocery store to the corner bar to the family dinner table, Bills fans are asking the big question today: Can you trust him? It was one thing when Fitz was the underdog quarterback on a bad team, leading them back from an 0-8 start. The stakes are higher now. Management has invested heavily in the defense, most notably a $100 million deal for Mario Williams. A lot of people are predicting the Bills to finish above .500 and contend for their first playoff berth in 13 years.
But from what I can gather, most Bills fans are reluctant to open up their hearts to this team. It's because of the guy lining up under center. Really, if you can't trust the man at the game's most important position, how much belief can you have? Fitz has to prove it. Again.
"I think every year you go into, you have to prove who you are and what kind of player you are," Fitzpatrick said last Wednesday. "That's not just for me. That's for the elite guys, too. I am sure Aaron Rodgers feels like he has a lot to prove going into this year. Every season is new.
"For me, I probably have more to prove than the other guys. That's it as a quarterback. You have to be able to go out there and do it. I am looking forward to that challenge."
Sure, the top guys have to prove themselves. But no one questions whether Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees have what it takes to win a Super Bowl. The lingering question, after the Bills' second-half collapse a year ago, is whether Fitzpatrick can lead a team to the playoffs, whether he's truly a franchise quarterback.
Which player is he: The guy who led the Bills to a 5-2 start last season, completing 67 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions; or the lost soul who completed 59 percent with 11 TDs and 16 picks, playing to a passer rating that ranked at the bottom of the league?
Bills coaches and management, I suspect, would accept a player somewhere in-between, a quarterback who puts up numbers around the middle of NFL starters, someone who makes the critical throws, limits turnovers and wins games. Coach Chan Gailey is unwavering, as usual, in his faith.
"He just needs to play," Gailey said. "He is good enough to take us where we need to go. You can go back and check how many times I've said this. But it's always the same. There is no question in my mind. We just need to make sure we protect him and let him go play.
"If he plays the way he is capable of playing and we get better as a football team, he will be just fine."
The bar has been raised for everyone, including the coach. Fitzpatrick isn't the only one who needs to meet heightened expectations. The league caught up to Gailey's spread attack in the second half last season. It's his job to refine the offense and help Fitz be better.
"That is life is the NFL," Gailey said. "It is a production business. If you do not produce, they try to find somebody who will."
Gailey trusts Fitzpatrick. Fitz, when he's on, is a deadly executor of Gailey's offensive plan. Over one 16-game stretch, from his first start in 2010 through the New England win here last year, he threw 32 TD passes. He threw four TDs three times in a span of six road games.
There's reason for Gailey's faith. There's also an element of necessity. The Bills have no one else, no succession plan. There's no quarterback on the roster whom they drafted, no young stud waiting in the wings. They kicked the tires on Vince Young and dumped him for Tarvaris Jackson, whose passing numbers were strikingly similar to Fitzpatrick's a year ago.
Ten NFL teams are starting a rookie or second-year quarterback. The Bills have no perceived young savior. That's why fans are ambivalent about Fitz. They see him as a caretaker at the position. It's hard to buy in when you don't believe your quarterback can win a Super Bowl. What's the realistic hope at this point? That the Bills can reach the playoffs? Isn't the idea to build a roster that can actually win the Super Bowl?
There was rising belief in the Bills when they started 5-2 last year. Fitz was a major reason. He got a six-year, $59 million contract extension. Then it all fell apart. Losing inspires doubt, and Fitzpatrick's brutal play in the second half rekindled doubts in his ability. The doubts linger, regardless of his cracked ribs during his slump.
"I think I have more to prove than other guys because I did some things last year that were good," Fitzpatrick said, "but I didn't put together a full, complete season. I have to be consistent all year."
He doesn't need to be great. If the defense is as good as advertised, Fitzpatrick will merely need to put up average numbers for an NFL starter. Baltimore's Joe Flacco had similar stats last year. He came within a dropped pass of the Super Bowl. The difference was interceptions: Fitz had 23 picks, Flacco 12.
Given a stout defense and better field position, Fitz can cut his interceptions by at least a third. He shouldn't have to throw as often. The Bills threw more often than all but one AFC team. They were 2-10 when Fitzpatrick threw 30 times, 4-0 when he threw fewer than 30 passes. It doesn't help to fall behind. Fitz threw eight picks when the Bills were trailing by more than 10 points during their losing streak.
Fitz can make big plays. He avoids sacks and gets rid of the ball quickly. The Bills use twice as many four-wideout sets as any other team in the NFL. Maybe Gailey would rather see Fitz make short, quick throws than go downfield. He's not a gunslinger. But Fitzpatrick forces the issue when the offense is struggling. Gailey has to be more flexible with his schemes and rely less on Fitz's suspect arm.
The heat is on. It begins today against a Jets team that has stifled the Buffalo offense in recent years. Last year in Orchard Park, they started the Bills' offensive demise, making the Gailey-Fitzpatrick tandem appear timid and tentative in the process.
This would be a great time for Fitzpatrick to remind people that he's a gamer, that he's healthy and improved and ready to regain his form of early last season. He's the franchise quarterback, the highest-paid quarterback in Buffalo history. It's about time he played like it.

Category: Construction
With the help of some good friends, I designed and built a very physically challenging obstacle course in preparation for the American Ninja Warrior Competition. For three months, I built an obstacle course in my good friend's backyard to challenge myself and others in preparation for the American Ninja Warrior Competition on G4. There was quite a bit of planning and preparation involved and a LOT of labor to build the course. We joked that building the course was tougher than running through it!
The tryout was an amazing experience. We learned a lot and are that much more prepared for this coming year's tryout. We will see you in Venice and on G4!
My video submission to G4 is included in this entry.
I was honored to have my photo on the ANW homepage (right side under "Featured Competitors")!
Obstacles Built:
- Salmon Ladder (Pull ups where you take the bar with you to climb up the wall)
- Unstable Bridge (Two planks hanging from 14' - the second plank is only supported by two cables)
- Jumping Bars (Monkey bars spaced 5' apart)
- Warped Wall (14')
- Hanging rope curtain
- Pogo Board
- Ultimate Cliffhanger

MOBILE, Ala. - It's difficult for DaQuan Jones to get lost in a crowd.
But the Penn State defensive tackle said he did just that during the first day of Senior Bowl practices with the North squad.
"I started out kind of slow on Monday learning a couple of new plays," Jones said after Wednesday's session. "But I think two days in I picked it up a little bit. I had a couple of bad plays today, but that's football."
The 6-foot-3, 323-pound Jones had a strong senior season after playing in Jordan Hill's shadow as a junior. He collected 11 1/2 tackles for loss and three sacks playing in the Nittany Lions' multipurpose scheme up front.

The United States won the women's under-20 World Cup for the third time, defeating defending champion Germany, 1-0, on Saturday in Tokyo, on a goal by Kealia Ohai in the 44th minute.
Crystal Dunn beat a German defender in the penalty area and squared a pass to Ohai, who sent a right-footed shot over keeper Laura Benkarth. It was the only goal Germany gave up in the tournament.
"I saw Crystal making a run and every time she does that you know she is going to get something in the box," Ohai said. "I sprinted as fast as I could and she got the ball to me and I just squared it."

With chunks of hair missing and the impression of their ribs clearly visible, a couple dozen horses are now resting more comfortably in Folsom-area barns after months of apparent mistreatment in west-central Louisiana. In fact, the "horrific" scene in Sabine Parish was like nothing longtime horse breeders Michele Rodriguez and Sunny Francois of Folsom had ever experienced.
"Some of the mares were like walking cadavers," said Rodriguez, who found that not only were all the horses severely malnourished but some had pneumonia and two died before they could be rescued. "The Sabine (Parish) Animal Shelter had to walk the property (after the rescue), and they found three or four more dead (carcasses) ... and there were bones from animals. They don't even know if they were horses or other animals."
Rodriguez and Francois were joined Thursday by doctors from the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine who gave the horses a full checkup. A few were sent to a nearby indoor barn to escape the predicted freezing temperatures on the north shore the next few nights while they recover from pneumonia.
Meanwhile, in Sabine Parish, Charles Ford, owner of O'l Home Place in Many, was booked with cruelty to animals and is out on a $2,500 bond. On Wednesday, Ford told Shreveport television station KSLA, "the work wasn't there so I couldn't buy the amount of feed that I needed to buy, but I fed them some every day."
Francois said at least 25 horses were found dead, and she believes the total could be as high as 50 to 60 if the number of horses on Ford's farm is compared with the number he had taken in or that had been born there over the past two years.
Dr. Frank Andrews, who heads the LSU vet school and is the director of the Louisiana Veterinary Medicine Association, said it will take several months for the horses to return to normal health, but that he expects the ones he examined Thursday will survive.
"The biggest thing when they are malnourished is they get very depressed; they hang their head. And if they are severely malnourished, they stop eating and they have to be fed intravenously," he said.
Andrews said he has seen similar cases over the past few years, and attributes drought and the skyrocketing costs of hay as the most likely reasons owners allow their horses to fall into such a condition.
It's nothing other than an issue of cruelty if you ask Francois, who said she had never seen horses die or be malnourished "to this magnitude."
"It can't get much worse than what we saw. It was horrible," Rodriguez said. "One of the owners was with us when we pulled up, and she asked (Ford), 'What happened to Party Dreams,' and he said the horse was dead. She almost lost it."
The LHRA has received about $5,000 in donations since the rescue, and is hoping to get more help. Those interested in assisting can go to their website at lahorserescue.com or send a tax-deductible donation to P.O. Box 24650, New Orleans, LA, 70184. Those with questions can contact Therese Arroyo at 504.947.4676.
The association's plan is to have the horses adopted by "loving owners" when they are healthy.

Friday, July 8th - Day 8
Today's Weight: 168
Eight days in and my first thought is should I still even be referring to this as a "30-day challenge" when I know after just one week that I have no intention of going back to my old diet and exercise habits. I love living primal!
Speaking of the old habits, now that I am feeling firmly committed to the primal lifestyle, I am ready to take on one lingering bad habit from the past - late night eating. True, the foods I;ve been eating late night have fit within the primal guidelines, but I know that the extra food is going to make it even more challenging for me to reach my weight goal of 150lbs because I have a harder time controlling portions when I eat late night, and it's disruptive to my sleep. Plus everything I know about IF makes it clear that my body needs the uninterrupted break from digesting food, and the overnight fast is the least painful way tp give it what it needs.
So, starting tonight, I will plan to go at least 10 hours without eating. On a typical weekday, when I eat breakfast around 8am, that will mean no eating after 10pm. On weekends, when I typically eat breakfast around 9am, that will mean no eating after 11pm. Eventually I'd like to extend the fast time to 12 hours overnight, but starting with 10 hours will be a big accomploshment for me. Once I am able to do that without breaking a sweat, I can gradually move the evening "stop eating" time earlier until I can do 12 hours comforatbly. But first things first - starting tonight, NO EATING AFTER 10 PM!

ALMOST A YEAR AFTER HE appeared as Samantha's diminutive date, Anthony Alessandro, 37, is still recognized on the street as the guy she dumps after discovering that he shops in the boys' department at Bloomingdale's. "It was like Warhol's '15 minutes,' " says the actor. "I definitely got auditions from it." The show pumped up Eddie Cahill's profile, too. He made his TV debut playing a twentysomething free spirit who takes Carrie ice skating. She is briefly smitten with him—until she finds out he's bisexual. That role led to an upcoming TV pilot as well as spots on Friends and Felicity. "I'm constantly referred to as the ice-skating bisexual," Cahill, 23, says. "My entire life has changed since that episode."
The person responsible for making these men memorable is the show's principal casting director, Jennifer McNamara, a single 33-year-old Manhattanite. Once an episode is written, she rifles through the hundreds of headshots and résumé she receives to find contenders for the speaking parts (197 roles last season). "At first it was hard to explain what the show was," says McNamara—especially when the scripts called for men with bad breath or religious hangups—but once a few episodes had aired "we never had any trouble finding anyone." And even though nudity is often required, McNamara says that doesn't stop as many as 40 actors from filing through the audition rooms for as few as five parts.
It's not just unknowns and up-and-comers who are clamoring to be on the show. The producers are constantly approached by celebrities, "but we don't want to pop somebody on and just point at them," says executive producer Michael Patrick King. "The characters feel real to people—we have to keep it that way." Jon Bon Jovi, Alanis Morissette, Valerie Harper, Vince Vaughn and Sarah Michelle Gellar have all made appearances—and fans like Kate Hudson are waiting in the wings. "Alec Baldwin is dying to get on the show, but our schedules never, ever click up," says King.
Not every star wants a guest shot, though. King once spied Warren Beatty at a party and persuaded writer and consulting producer Jenny Bicks to ask him to be on an episode. His response? "Never gonna happen."
Notable one-shots are a show hallmark
when Dan Futterman—a regular on TV's Judging Amy—auditioned for Charlotte's sexually ambiguous boyfriend, he looked the part. "I came in my most tight-fitting shirt and jumped around screaming when they said 'Now there's a mouse on the floor,' " says the actor, 33. "My wife tells me I play gay well."
Anthony Alessandro—who is 5'5"—says that Kim Cattrall "stood on an apple box and wore 4-inch heels" for his scenes as Jeff, the guy who's small in stature but big on performance.
Real-life firefighter and first-time actor Michael Lombardi, 39, says he was so nervous about his butt-naked performance that he forgot to breathe: "My face turned, like, three different shades of red."
Tim Wheeler says he had "a great time" playing the Turtle, a man with bad breath and worse fashion sense. "I tend to play bad guys and murderers," says Wheeler, 43. "So it was a nice switch."
Celebs get a kick out of playing oddballs
You've got to hand it to the Sex and the City girls. They'll pick up men anywhere—even their therapist's office. Which is exactly where Carrie found Bon Jovi's character in the second season. At the time, the 39-year-old rock star—who cut his acting teeth in 1995's Moonlight and Valentino—"wanted to do more acting work," recalls Sex writer and consulting producer Jenny Bicks. "And the part of the screwed-up guy in the shrink's office was perfect for him. He plays sexy really easily."
An admirer of the show, the Canadian singer called and asked if there was a role for her. There was—as a bisexual who kisses Carrie in a game of Spin the Bottle. Creator Darren Star remembers Morissette, 27, and Sarah Jessica Parker having fun on set, "breaking out into songs from Annie."
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY
When Carrie et al. went to L.A. last year, McConaughey, 31, played himself—in the guise of a lecherous Hollywood producer. The actor was a good sport. "We were trying to find a celebrity who would be a goof as himself," says Star, "and that's always a touchy situation."
The 24-year-old star of TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer says she had fun appearing last season as an over-zealous L.A. movie exec who wants to adapt Carrie's columns for the big screen. "I'm a big fan of the show and was thrilled to be asked on," she says. "I love playing strong characters."
In one episode filmed in L.A., Vaughn, 31, portrayed a pretentious Hollywood player whose real job turns out to be housesitter for Carrie Fisher. On the set, the two guest stars "were hysterical," says Bicks. "At one point Carrie Fisher was spotted wearing a pair of women's panties on her head."

text: Hello everyone, I'd like to announce a forthcoming (free) capability-based operating system: Sitelier (pronounced like hotelier). Sitelier is a distributed, capability-based operating system for the web that uses OpenPGP to link users with their apps and each other. The idea is to finally give people actual control over their online lives. Basically, it manages a secure private website on which users can "install" web apps, which can then save their data on the user's site, rather than on the web app's servers. It also provides a globally unique (and portable) identity for each user in the form of PGP keys, and in the near future will let users easily "friend" each other for securely communicating or sharing. It doesn't run on the hardware directly; it's a user mode server written entirely in JavaScript (Node.js). It's free and open source so you can host your site wherever you like. In our view, the web right now is backwards: users have accounts on dozens of websites, all with their own logins and passwords, and our content and personal information is scattered all over the web, out of our control. Sitelier turns the situation around: when you install an app, you're effectively creating an account on *your* site for the app, which can then save its data (your data) there, so all your online information can live in one secure location that you control. It's a simple idea with huge implications. For a start, launching an online banking app by clicking an icon as opposed to logging into a website eliminates the opportunity for phishing your banking password - there is no banking password. And vendors like Amazon would no longer need to keep your billing info on their servers, since the Amazon app can just get it from your site (assuming you've given them a read-billing-info cap). Once your order ships, they can drop the cap (or you can), and then even if they're breached, your billing information isn't compromised, because they don't have it. I'm barely touching on the potential of the platform, but I think you get the idea. Given what Sitelier is trying to do, we're necessarily obsessed with security. We've tried to avoid making obvious mistakes, and we've tried to implement good ideas wherever possible: besides caps, you'll see petnames and petgraphics (for apps and contacts), decentralized trust (obviously), and TLS-PSK is coming (for app-kernel and kernel-kernel connections). But we're not security experts; we're just two good friends tackling an enormous engineering problem together. We could really use some help from people who actually know what they're doing in this area. So does this sound interesting to anyone? We're doing a preview release today and will soon have a tarball of the kernel up on the website, along with installation instructions (you'll need a world-routable machine if you want to try it). We're also hosting a couple apps that anyone can install: a basic shell and a notepad app. The kernel source is online at https://launchpad.net/sitelier-kernel, and you can browse it there or branch it with bazaar. You can read more about the project at www.sitelier.com; there's a lot of info about how it works under /docs.
