Letters to the editor: Millcreek voters should do research
Millcreek residents, the time has come for all of us to educate ourselves on the candidates who are running for positions on the Millcreek School Board.
We need to know more about the candidates themselves. What are their backgrounds and history? We need to go on facts, not necessarily on who is the best talker or who has the most signs out there or even who someone else is voting for. This last year we saw what can happen when voting people into office that we did not know enough about. We tell our children to do their homework, and I say we should lead by example and do our own homework.
We have a great tool at our fingertips: the Internet. You can Google the name of each person who is running and find out where they stand and what they are all about.
Lisa McFarlandMillcreek Township
Austin backed
Lisa Austin and I have been talking about urban design ever since we met 17 years ago. In 2004, she and I co-founded Civitas to advocate for more appropriate, sensitive and sustainable regional design and planning from the micro to the macro level.
Like me, Austin has wide experience traveling and reading about urban design. But unlike others, Austin is not overwhelmed by vast, complex problems. Instead, she gathers experts and stakeholders together to brainstorm on a solution. She then has the energy and doggedness to keep moving projects along, past their inevitable stalling points.
I'm voting to elect Lisa Austin to County Council. Though Lisa is not originally "from here," she is certainly "for here."

Health issue key
Kathy Dahlkemper traded a ham for a hot dog when she voted "yes" to the Affordable Care Act. Voters of Erie County, please think carefully and choose the best candidate for Erie County executive.
Ask yourself if you are relieved or concerned that Dahlkemper's unresearched "yes" vote to Obamacare may contribute to the loss of your full-time employment and health-care benefits.
L. RaimondiErie
Lee's experience is difference
Summit Township is the community where Erie County commerce pivots and is the heart of the economic health of our community. It's why the current supervisor is so important.
Without hesitation, I recommend Jack Lee for Summit Township supervisor. He offers unprecedented qualifications for the position because he has the unusual combination of experience both as a blue-collar and white-collar worker.
His experience as a blue-collar worker is in the construction industry, where he worked on complex commercial projects demanding highly technical skills. Lee worked as a team leader for important commercial projects that demanded coordination of crews and materials meeting intensive budget and deadline schedules. Regarding his white-collar experience, Lee was elected to head the roofers' union, requiring him to manage training of union members, direct employees, coordinate work assignments, meet demanding union legal requirements, attend and lead technical seminars, administer budgets, recruit talent, meet government regulations and do many other administrative tasks.
Gerald J. VogtErie
GE attack meritless
The current paid commercial by the committee to elect Kathy Dahlkemper is tacky and, at best, is one of desperation. Rather than propounding Dahlkemper's vision for Erie, the ad attacks the administration of Barry Grossman for the potential loss of 1,000 positions of employment at GE Transportation. Such a scare tactic is an insult to the electorate. Candidates such as this need to learn to speak about issues without blaming the current administration for events taking place at GE.
Joe PhillipsErie
Veteran touted
Randy Boga is a proud veteran running for Erie County sheriff. Boga is a decorated Marine master sergeant who sacrificed the comfort of his family and friends to protect this country for 23 years during both peaceful and difficult times.
It will be an honor to say thanks to Boga by casting my vote for the only veteran running for sheriff.
D. TuftsErie
Millcreek race requires scrutiny
With the recent shenanigans that the Millcreek School Board has foisted on us parents and taxpayers, this taxpayer having two children in Millcreek schools, it is imperative to me that we extensively review the candidates who are running.
All these candidates need to be publicly vetted with extensive background information that needs to be made public, such as job history and criminal background checks. All too often there is very little information about these folks to be able to make an intelligent decision at the ballot box.
At this moment we have a pretty lousy school board in the Millcreek Township School District. Keep one thing in mind when voting on May 21: We can make it worse if we are not careful.
Mike RoeschMillcreek Township
Austin's ideas can make impact
As a resident of Erie County, I would like to encourage others to consider voting Lisa Austin to Erie County Council.
I have known Lisa for years as a very inspirational, intelligent and caring friend. Her enthusiasm and passion for improving the community and working for the residents of Erie County are contagious and commendable. She has made a difference already with programs and organizations that she has been involved with for years. Her ideas can make an impact on the community in an even greater way if she is elected. I don't live in her district so I am not able to vote for her, but if I could, I would.
Terry SethHarborcreek
Egos too big
Are the egos of the Millcreek School Board members so big that not one of them can say they are sorry? That they are sorry for not listening to residents who spoke up and tried to warn them about money issues? Sorry for bullying and calling residents names at meetings if someone disagreed with them? Sorry for lying to the public about their statements of doing their homework and knowing what they are doing?
We all know the answer, that board members' egos are so big they think they don't have to be accountable for any of their actions. The best way to repay them is to send them all their walking papers!

I wish I was Apple
Apple's made a focus on bringing some Natural User Interface (NUI) concepts from their iOS platform to this version of Mac OS (see their 'Back to The Mac' keynote); this concept of direct manipulation is one of them. In the system preferences, the feature's even labeled as 'Natural' scrolling mode.
The introductory video on first boot-up of the OS introduces this feature via a short video to prepare users for the change, which indicates that Apple understands what a challenge it'll be for users to understand and get used to. In my opinion, it's one of the more radical/risky aspects of this new OS, in that it attempts to reverse a well-understood, long-standing paradigm for interfacing with the operating system.
Notice the default Lion UI also hides the scroll indicator until you're actually scrolling a la iOS, which is probably intended to reinforce the idea of 'pushing' the document up and down vs. focusing on the scrollbar. However, both of those (scrolling direction and scrollbar visibility) can be changed back to 'normal' mode in the system preferences.
I installed a system hack on Snow Leopard to simulate the new type of scrolling on my work computer before Lion was released and found it very tricky to change my thinking from being scrollbar-centric to document-centric even though I own an iPad and iPod Touch, but I eventually got (mostly) used to it on the desktop. Anyone who borrowed my machine when we were collaborating on projects, though, thought it was some kind of prank :)
So sometimes the onus is on the end users. Interesting to see how this turns out - but the bottom line is that we will adapt. Design power peeps.
I assure you that it takes an hour or two to mostly get used to it, and within two or three days you'll find the old scroll (really reversed, the new one makes more sense from mutitouch trackpads and such) to be unusable...

Question to anyone who's upgraded --
Is this applied across the board to all apps including non-native ones? e.g. Adobe Air-based, Java-based (NetBeans, jEdit), X11, etc.
AFAIK yes - I tried it on Flex Web and Flex AIR apps and the scrolling API sends the 'correct' new signal to the Flash-based apps so a 2-finger swipe up now scrolls up instead of down, even in Flash stuff. The Flash scrollbars are still there and they still function as expected. I also noticed it in Eclipse/Flash Builder, which is Java, that all the scrollbars are gone and the swipe matches Lion's preferences. Took me a while - but I'm starting to get it. Same with the wife. She had the same (and uninfluenced) conclusion I had - that the iOS and normal OS worlds are converging and it actually makes a bit more sense, after using the iPhone and iPad for a while, that the gestures should be the same on all devices - even if it takes a few days of getting used to. Weird though - that Apple has us drinking all this Kool-Aid where they can say - hey - you're holding it wrong, swipe it like this etc. and all we, like sheep, go - oh, okay. :-P I wish I was Apple too.

Your Majesty,
The original Lisa and Mac vertical scroll arrows were at the top and bottom of the vertical scroll bar, and the up-pointing arrow moved the content down. I ran a user study in the early days of Lisa development that informed that design.
Most (but not all) study participants expected to position the mouse near the top of the window to bring the content hidden above the top of the window into view. One reason was that they were looking at the top of the window at the time. Another reason was that they were more likely, as their next action, to select content in the upper half of the window than in the lower half. Consequently, we made the upper member of the arrow pair move the content down. With apologies to computer architects, I'll call the majority whose expectations were met by this decision the "top-endians".
The study also examined the question of which way the arrowheads should point. Half the participants thought the upper arrow should point down, the way the content was moving. Half thought it should point up, the direction from which the content was coming. If the latter is surprising to you, consider that a wind blowing air from north to south is called "northerly" in English, and that a standard PRNDL floor shift makes the driver push the stick forward to go into Reverse and backward to go into Drive. If you don't accept those analogies, note that the "elevator" in the scroll bar moves upward when the user presses the up-pointing arrow to scroll content down.
Most of the product team wanted the arrows to point the way the content moved, and to point away from each other. The issue was escalated to Trip Hawkins, the VP of Lisa Product Marketing. After hearing the study results, Trip offered to go with the usability study on arrow locations if I'd be willing (which I was) to make the arrows point away from each other because it "looked right".
Years later, Apple gave users the option of placing the scroll bars together at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar (as in the NeXT OS) or apart. The default became "together". When arranged in this way, users no longer had as much reason to expect the upper arrow to scroll content down. Top-endianism lost its logic.
As scroll wheels proliferated, the direction of the user's finger on the top of the wheel matched the direction of the scroll arrow and the "elevator", not the direction of content motion. I found this counterintuitive at first. I got used to it when I began to perceive the phenomenon as the bottom of the wheel pushing the content the other way. PRNDL again.
Some iOS apps that provide remote login to desktop computers originally required the user to push the content up to make it move down. I found adapting to that gesture hard. With a touch screen, the intuitive gesture to scroll content down is to drag any part of the content downward. (Of course, it is also intuitive for a drag to select a content range and for a drag to move an object without scrolling the surroundings--but that's another discussion.) Top-endians should be happy with the Lion defaults because the scroll gesture can begin anywhere, even the top of the window, which is where they are looking. Bottom-endians should be happy because there are no arrowheads to challenge their intuition.
I think people who use scroll wheels a lot may take a little longer to adapt to the Lion default than those who generally use scroll bars and function keys (page up, etc.).

Nice post Larry. The problem with the approach is that it ignores the keyboard (as articulated). I am assuming this is a cross-platform issue...please correct me if I am wrong and thanks again for the explanation of due diligence.

Also, when driving a car and you want to shift the object in frontal view to the left (eg. a whomping great tree), you pull the steering wheel to the right (yeah, ok, the top of the steering wheel).
Of course, the user's mental model is most likely that they are influencing the position and direction of their vehicle, not rearranging the whole universe around their frame of reference =P
Meanwhile, in many 3D games it's common to find a "reverse mouse direction" option. I play in the mode where I point where I want to face, which means I move the mouse to the left to look left ... and see the whole world shift to the right. So, every time I go to google street view I end up getting confused, because google street view wants me to imagine grabbing the universe and shoving it around with my godly fist.
As scroll wheels proliferated, the direction of the user's finger on the top of the wheel matched the direction of the scroll arrow and the "elevator", not the direction of content motion. I found this counterintuitive at first. I got used to it when I began to perceive the phenomenon as the bottom of the wheel pushing the content the other way.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who came up with this analogy. In explaining to my wife the difference between the old and new way, I explained that in the old way it was as if the piece of paper was underneath the wheel, and thus when you roll the wheel up (away from you), it pushes the paper downward (toward you). In the new metaphor, you're now interacting directly with the piece of paper. This isn't necessarily entirely intuitive with a wheel, but it seems to make much more sense when using a touchpad-style interface, which (since the Magic Mouse now has a touch surface) is the only thing Apple sells.
It also, of course, lines up with iOS (and a theoretical future Mac with a touchscreen), and there are a heck of a lot more iOS devices in use than Macs.
It's funny, because when Microsoft a while ago ran a TV commercial demonstrating the use of a touch UI on Win7, it looked absolutely ridiculous to have the user moving her hand downward (dragging the scroll bar with her finger) while the content moved in the opposite direction. At that point I realized that the hardware UI metaphor we've been using since the advent of the scroll wheel was out of synch, and presumably would eventually change. Which it already has for Mac users.
Surprisingly, it's only taken me a couple of days to mostly adjust to the change (and I'm not a heavy iOS user, either). I expect within a week I will be doing it without any false starts in the opposite direction. Of course, I also still use inverted controls in FPS games, but that's relying on muscle memory dating back to the N64.
The piece of paper analogy is deeper than the use of a scroll wheel. Many, many years ago, I was involved in just this discussion concerning scrolling on DEC terminals. The way I described the two approaches was: Imagine that all the content is on a large sheet of paper. You can imagine "scrolling" (the word is actually biased here) in two ways: Either your have a fixed window that is looking at a large piece of paper, and you move the paper around behind the window to make different parts visible; or you have the same piece of paper tacked down, and a viewer - think of a magnifying glass - that you can move around to different places to see them. The first gives you "down means down"; the second gives you "up moves content down".
A scroll bar is a direct representation of the "fixed paper/moving viewpoint" model: The bar is the forever-fixed piece of paper, the scroller your viewer. If you have that, it drags the rest of your interface along with it. On the other hand, a direct-manipulation finger interface has you "touching" - and moving - the "paper", not the (on small devices) invisible frame, so the opposite model becomes almost forced. If, rather than using touch, you used the motion sensor on the device to implement scrolling - move device up to look at stuff further up the imaginary paper - you'd come to a different conclusion about what's "natural". (Not that I'm recommending that as an interface!)
This reminds me of the classic UI question: Given a pair of cold and hot water handles, to turn them both on, would you expect to (a) turn them both clockwise; (b) turn them both toward the tap? If you actually ask people, the context is determinative: If the handles are circularly symmetric (e.g., cross shaped), people expect to turn both clockwise; if they are not (single paddle), they expect to turn them toward each other.
-- Jerry
Its now up to the users to get used to the new scrolling system. At first, it takes a lot of time getting used to, but after using the various apple mobile devices, scrolling the new way becomes second nature. It was a very risky move for Apple to make the new scrolling interface the norm, but I think it will pay off. They always seem to know that consumers are willing to bend to their rules.

I think that whatever changes Apple make to the UI are not taken lightly, as they are bound to have a team dedicated to researching and testing these changes before rolling them out. That being said, it still can take some time to adapt.

Przybilla, who officially signed with the Blazers on Monday, will play 10 to 15 minutes tonight against the Miami Heat, coach Nate McMillan said in his pre-game chat with reporters.
McMillan's original plan was to have Przybilla make his 2011-12 debut Saturday against Minnesota. However, the Blazers lost the services of backup center Kurt Thomas on Wednesday when he suffered a "mild concussion" in Portland's loss at Denver.
"We'll re-evaluate him tomorrow," McMillan said of Thomas, who was placed on the inactive list for tonight's game.
Przybilla last played in a game on March 7, 2011, when he logged 10 minutes, 11 seconds for Charlotte in a home game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Bobcats shut him down for the season after that game, his fifth for the Bobcats after being traded by the Blazers as part of the deal that brought forward Gerald Wallace to Portland.
Przybilla struggled all last season to recover from two knee surgeries.
Przybilla last played in the Rose Garden on March 5, when the Bobcats visited Portland. His last game in a Blazers uniform was on Feb. 23, 2011, when he played 26:22 in a loss to the Lakers in the Rose Garden and he had four points, seven rebounds and a blocked shot.
The Heat will be without forward Chris Bosh, who is on leave from the team after a death in his family. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, in his pre-game media chat, said he was not ready to say who would start in Bosh's place.

🔼Etymology of the name Egypt
According to the Oxford Companion to the Bible, the name Egypt is an English rendering of the Greek name Aiguptos, which in turn is a transliteration of the Egyptian Hwt-Ptah, meaning Temple of Ptah. The Egyptians themselves named their country Keme, meaning the Black Land.
In the Hebrew Bible the country of Egypt is always denoted by the name Mizraim.

No need to blow your budget! Here are 10 wallet-friendly wedding ideas.
1. Create an altar backdrop
For a subtle infusion of personality, create a custom backdrop for your altar. Ribbons, patchwork quilts, or swaths of fabric all make lovely, inexpensive options.
2. Set up a beverage table
As guests arrive at the ceremony, have a table set up with pitchers of iced tea, lemonade, or even just ice water with slices of cucumber for everyone to enjoy while they wait for the ceremony to start.
3. Use creative materials for your arch
Construct yours out of anything from hockey sticks to scrap metal.
4. Try nontraditional seating
Draw inspiration from Shakespeares theater in the round and seat guests in a circle around the altar. Everyone will have a great seat, and youll feel surrounded by love.
5. Rethink your altar space
Create your own wedding altar by using an end table with a pretty antique tablecloth and a few simple flower arrangements.
6. Use an oversized banner
Make a statement: An oversized monogram banner will let guests know theyre in the right place and create a great backdrop for photos.
7. Make handkerchief programs
Turn your ceremony programs into sentimental favors by having them silk-screened onto vintage handkerchiefs.
8. Line the aisle with flowers, terrarium-style
A fun way to dress up the aisle: Simply put a smaller vase filled with water for the flowers inside of a larger vase weighed down with sand, pebbles or coffee beans.
9. Point the way with DIY signs
Cute handmade signs are an easy, budget-friendly way to direct guests along the way.
10. Deck out the chairs
A few ribbon or fabric garlands will take simple ceremony chairs to the next level. For guests of honor (like immediate family), make simple reserved signs to hang on their chairs.

Syracuse University guard Scoop Jardine has been making the rounds of basketball camps this summer -- and's he's been writing about his travels for the Syracuse Athletics website in an occasional feature called "What's the Scoop?"
Jardine's latest entry is about his time at the LeBron James Skills Academy. Here is an excerpt from his report:
Hanging out with Lebron James was cool because I got to learn a lot from him, and he's a real funny guy, but the basketball experience was great. We played a lot of five-on-five, just like at DWill camp, but we went up against Lebron, his high school teammates, and Chris Paul and Eric Bledsoe. It was great to go up against CP and EBled again because they are great players and push me to get better. The final day was the best day for me, I was really balling out there!! I was playing well and being vocal…both of what I look to bring to the table next year.

According to the story, a seven-page "technical bulletin" issued by the agency refers to a rule first announced in December that says if a person lost his or her health care insurance because of the restrictions levied by the Affordable Care Act, then they can be exempted from the individual mandate requiring every American to purchase a policy.
The terminations of millions of policies following the troubled start-up of the ACA enrollment have been classified as "hardships" by HHS. Those who have lost their coverage can apply for the hardship exemption if, according to the new rule, a person "experienced another hardship in obtaining health insurance."
What "another hardship" may be was not defined by HHS.
House Speaker John Boehner, (R-Ohio), was quoted in a Fox News story as saying the latest rule change would apply to "essentially everyone."
So far, around 4.2 million people have signed up for health care plans under the ACA. Originally, the Obama administration had said that the goal was 5.7 million enrollees by the end of the enrollment period on March 31.
For the full story, see The Wall Street Journal.

I agree with you about Dr. G and the greens---I understand what he's talking about re: the cardiac aspects of high protein, but I can't eat the way he recommends in the last phase. He has a new book coming out at the end of this year.

A Camden woman was buried alive after being kidnapped by her landscaper and another man, prosecutors said Thursday, as authorities defended the police response to her disappearance.
The body of Fatima Perez, 41, was found in a shallow grave around 11 a.m. Wednesday in Monroe Township. She was reported missing Monday afternoon by her family.
Perez's landscaper, Carlos Alicea-Antonetti, 36, and Ramon Ortiz, 57, have been charged with her slaying. They were arraigned Thursday afternoon in Superior Court in Camden, where Perez's family wept as Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah described how the men allegedly covered the bound Perez with lime and dirt in the makeshift grave. Authorities said she was asphyxiated.

Suite Dreams: La Residenza Napoleone III in Rome
Imagine: a hotel that consists of one luxurious private apartment, the three-room suite where Emperor Napoleon III lived in Rome in the 19th century. Stunning, opulent, impossibly romantic, the Residenza is situated in a 16th century palazzo just off Via Condotti. Ascend the marble staircase and step straight into the Old World; the dining room, bedroom, and drawing room are appointed with antique furnishings and rare Gobelin tapestries. Check out the bed (pictured). A magnificent oil painting serves as the headboard. (Plasma TV screens are likewise hidden by canvases. And the exquisite marble bathroom is hidden by another Old Master.) A private butler attends to all your needs, and the owner, Princess Letizia Ruspoli, is an excellent hostess/concierge.

As Candidate For Congress, Ted Yoho Suggested Limiting The Right To Vote To Property Owners
Recently unearthed footage of Rep. Ted Yoho speaking at Berean Baptist Church in Ocala, Florida, during his candidacy for Congress in the 2012 election cycle shows the Republican politician suggesting that only property owners should have the right to vote.
"I've had some radical ideas about voting and it's probably not a good time to tell them, but you used to have to be a property owner to vote," he said to applause.
He also called early voting through absentee ballots "a travesty" and hailed Florida Gov. Rick Scott's move — since rescinded — to significantly reduce early voting from 14 days to eight, saying Scott's plan didn't go far enough. "I think it needs to be cut less than that," he said.
Later in the event, an audience member asked Yoho about the Bilderberger Group, the center of a popular conspiracy theory. The audience member claimed the group "wants to take us down," and asked, "What do you think our chances are in the next two years of being able to vote?"
"That's a scary question and that's one of the reasons I'm running for Congress, because I fear for this country," Yoho replied. "I grew up believing in the American dream, I'm a product of the American dream, no one gave my wife and I anything…we worked our tail off and we didn't expect anything from the government." (In fact, Yoho has admitted that he and his wife at one point "went on food stamps.")
He added: "If we don't do anything in two and a half years, it's a scary thought, if you start reading some of the stuff I've been reading, you're like, this is all by designs, it sounds like a conspiracy."
Yoho had a similar response to the next questioner who inquired about why he is running for Congress: "I fear for the country, two and a half years from now we may not be able to vote."

Welcome. There are a couple more VA folks up as well. I'm in Fredericksburg, far from a Trader Joe's :-(
Lot's of good info and people here. Good luck with the training...
Hi everyone!
My name is Jessica, I am 26 and on my first REAL attempt at Primal life.
My husband and I did the 30 day challenge (sort of) last year from mid July to August, and never fully committed to it. About 23 days ago I had something snap in my head and decided we needed to get to it.
I am tall, 5'9" and I have a naturally lanky to athletic build. In high school I ran Cross Country as well as indoor and outdoor track. I was always thin, but never in truly good shape. After I stopped running, the weight just kept coming, of course. I used to be a carb fanatic, and am finding it easier and easier to forget about my once BFF's. My starting weight was right at 180, I'm currently down to 175 about 20 days in.
My husband is heavy, and has been since we met, but it got way worse about 5 years ago. He is my height and stocky. His starting weight was about 240, and his is at about 233. His biggest stumbling block is pizza.
We are doing the Couch to 5K training program coupled with the Essential Primal Movements, and we are feeling really good. I just registered yesterday and found myself browsing the food porn threads for more than a few hours. After a trip to Trader Joe's today, I am ready to make some creations of my own.
I look forward to getting to know you guys and hearing about you!
Welcome. There are a couple more VA folks up as well. I'm in Fredericksburg, far from a Trader Joe's :-(

"I did it for money and for a woman. I didn't get the money, and I didn't get the woman"
Hello and welcome. Fredericksburg here, too. Yes, Dice Monkey, we neeeeeed a Trader Joe's.
Best of luck to you and your husband on your primal journey, Jessica.
Live your life and love your life. It's the only one you get.
I am in Arlington, VA myself. I am 14 weeks into this and about 14 lbs down. Energy levels are through the roof and I feel great.

The day after Thanksgiving and official start of the Christmas shopping season. When stores open anytime in between midnight and 5 AM and set everything on sale. To promote the sale, a mass amount of advertising is used, causing everyone to forget their is a month until Christmas so they go to hell and back to get all their holiday shopping out of the way one day not even in the month of the holiday.
I haven't slept in almost 50 hours because my mom shoved us all in the car immediately after Thanksgiving dinner and made us go to Black Friday sales all damn day.

Let's set up the usual scenario: We have a weekly CTA/USTA league match and many of the spouses and coaches are observing the contest. Most of the time, the fans are relaxed and they are able to enjoy the action and cheer for both teams. No doubt, all of the players are heavily invested in their performances and want to win the game and losing a big match can be traumatic for most competitors. Therefore, when one of the teams loses the contest, when is it appropriate to talk about the match? From a coach's standpoint (years of experience which ... Read More »

Fess up & admit you're nervous!
As a long time tennis coach, I have viewed thousands of players who have succumbed to nervous pressure during a tense match. Here are some of my observations of anxious play: • Movement is greatly hindered • Players are unaware of their court placement • Doubles teams fail to execute a plan • Compact strokes verses long flowing endings • Too much lobbing • Failure to put the ball away As former great player and current Davis Cup Coach Jim Courier once stated, "No one is above a choke!" Simply put, if the best of the best readily admits that they feel ... Read More »

Do you know how to make 2nd Set adjustments?
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne firstname.lastname@example.com Nothing was more apparent last week during the big tennis exhibition showdown at Hideaway Beach than when veteran Franco Mata continually made strategic changes to confuse his young opponent and dominate the second set. In particular, he altered his speeds and placements and thus disrupted his foe's tempo. As we delve into future CTA/USTA league doubles matches, players must be ready to completely change their game plan if the first set goes awry. Clearly, one of my favorite doubles strategies is to change return of serve positions. Why? This radical modification is obvious to the ... Read More »

Unfortunately, when we practice with friends, most people still have a need to win and probably won't try new things. But, if players desire to graduate to a higher level, they must be willing to radically change their practice sessions. If only two people are available to practice, the couple must focus on doubles drills and ... Read More »
Call me crazy but I have to pick Murray
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne email@example.com Okay, I'm either a real optimist or just a huge Andy Murray fan but I think he is due and will win the 2012 US Open men's singles title. The problem with my latest prediction is that future Hall of Famer Roger Federer is once again, the top player in the world and he just knocked off Murray at this year's Wimbledon Championships. The way I see it, Nadal, Djokovic and Federer have been trading places lately and it's time for Murray to sneak in and nab his first Grand Slam title. Let's just etch ... Read More »
Why do we have pros in the London Olympics?
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne email@example.com Without a doubt, the biggest complaint about the professional tennis circuit is that it runs far too long. The Australian Open starts the year in January and we still have the Davis Cup Final in December. And now, we have the current professionals participating in the London Olympics which will add yet another tournament to their current schedule. Back in 1992, the United States wanted to prove their basketball dominance so they assembled the "Dream Team" and they completely destroyed everyone on their way to the Gold medal. Now, 20 years later, it seems foolish ... Read More »
WATER COOLER TALK: Will Roddick win a round at Wimbledon?
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne firstname.lastname@example.com If I have to watch another women's pro match and have to listen to that obnoxious screaming, I just might have to nix the volume and go mute! Now, here is the good news…Thanks to tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, among others, who have constantly urged tennis officials to take a stance and change our current rules as far as excessive grunting is concerned. Let's face it, when we are forced to watch Victoria Azerenka and Maria Sharapova square off, it is virtually impossible to focus on the tennis because we are bombarded ... Read More »
Is it possible to play too much tennis?
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne firstname.lastname@example.com With tennis professional parents, we were so mindful of our children playing too much tennis; the last thing we wanted was our kids to hate the game we grew up to love! In order to make sure we were following the right path, we consulted numerous coaches and parents before we started the plan. The real irony is that it is pretty darn easy to know what to do – all one has to do is be tuned into your child. For example, if little junior insists on hitting balls against the garage door, it ... Read More »
Ratings changes: Is it time to panic?
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne email@example.com Uh, oh, it is that dicey time of year where anxious tennis players find out if they are going to stay put or will stay on their current teams. If you are a CTA league participant, coordinator Vivian Welsh publishes her new list; a small percentage of players must adjust as they may either move up a level or in a few cases, move down to a lower level! Now, If you are the select few who must move down, pause a moment and understand it is just a game. Heck, it is quite possible ... Read More »
Yes, even young Pete Sampras listened!
READ MY TIPS Doug Browne "Come on, you have to move your feet or it's not worth our time," I sternly remarked to my slow-moving teenage student. "Go, go, go, you can get to that ball," I continued. One of the greatest coaching challenges is when the young student just doesn't want to be on the tennis court. There is that very delicate fine line where the coach needs to push the player but not drive too hard because you don't want to lose the student forever. As luck would have it, one of my adult friends was watching with his ... Read More »

FOR A POLITICAL movement that serves as a 50,000-watt boogeyman for conservative talk radio in America, finding your local representative of the New Black Panther Party is not easy.
There's no party headquarters and no membership roll — just a doorbell at a modest brick home in the lawn-checkered, rebuilt stretch of North Philadelphia between the Temple campus and Center City.
When King Samir Shabazz, the Philadelphia chairman of the New Black Panther Party, emerges, he agrees to an interview only if it can be conducted while he paces up and down the sidewalk out front.
The mid-40s Shabazz is a beret-wearing, dreadlock-flowing bundle of contradictions — with a nervous laugh and a "Kill Whitey" tattoo etched into his cheekbone.

CHARLES TOWN - Most people will agree that a night out is intended to be an escape from one's everyday life, and what better way is there to escape the monotony of the every day than to use live theater as the vehicle?
This weekend the Old Opera House is producing Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" - a musical focusing on the complicated love lives of several different couples.
Set during the turn of the century at a lavish Swedish country estate, the story follows two men - Frederick Egerman (Chris Steele) and Carl-Magnus Malcolm (Ross Hudson) - who have had either previous or current love affairs with the famed actress Desiree Armfelt (Holly Legg) and the jealousy their wives Anne Egerman (Karilee Grossnickle) and Charlotte Malcolm (Jeanine Evans) have for her. Caught in the tangled web of love and lust are Frederick's son Henrik (Zach Little), Anne's maid Petra (Denise O'Brien) and Madame Amfeldt's (Nancy Jones) manservant Frid (Lee Hebb).

In "A Little Night Music," singers comment like a Greek chorus as they wander in and throughout the show. The show will be performed Sept. 5-14 at The Old Opera House in Charles Town. Set in 1900 Sweden, explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desiree Armfeldt and the men who love her. Both men, as well as their jealous wives, agree to join her and her family for a weekend in the country. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.
Along with the storyline's main characters is a quintet of vocalists - Mr. Linquist (Ed Conn), Mrs. Nordstrom (Heather Mae Wilson), Mr. Erlanson (Paul Cabell), Mrs. Anderssen (Karen Paone) and Mrs. Segstrom (Amanda Willis) - acting as an all-knowing Greek chorus to help guide the audience through the maze of interwoven relationships.
Keeping to true Sondheim form, the lyrics and music for "A Little Night Music" are both sophisticated and arduous for the performers, but because the director David Porterfield was able to cast such a talented group of vocalists, they make the show an enjoyable and pleasurable experience for the audience.
"The music is extremely demanding and challenging," Porterfield said. "Sondheim usually is, but the music is still easy to listen to."

While several of the cast members have performed this show before, the ones who have not admit that it is a production they've always wanted to do. Because of its fast tempo and quick changes, all of the performers said it is the challenge they've enjoyed.
Wilson (soprano) said she carries the majority of the top notes and loves her role within the quintet.
"I wanted to sing Mrs. Nordstrom," Wilson said. "So many women wanted roles such as Anne, but when I found out I was playing Mrs. Nordstrom I was overjoyed. I love the challenge."
Conn (baritone) said, "The quintet has some of the most challenging music in the show, which I love."
Both Wilson and Conn, as well as many of the other performers, are trained professionals in musical theatre. Wilson has a degree in Music Education from Concord College, and is currently seeking her Masters of Music Education at Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia, and Conn graduated from the Shenandoah Conservatory with a degree in musical theater.
"My thesis was on 'A Little Night Music,' so I've known the show and music quite well," Conn said.
As a trained tenor, Conn said it has taken a lot of practice to stretch his range low enough to sing the part of baritone, but that it has certainly been worth it.
"A lot of people are intimidated by Sondheim's music," Conn said, "but if you practice, and know your part, it can be magic."
Wilson confessed that she too started weeks in advance to prepare for her audition.
"I consulted one of my previous voice teachers for advice on what piece I should take to the audition," she said. "Since Mrs. Nordstrom sings very high notes, we decided on an opera piece. If you truly want to do well at an audition, you need to prepare ahead of time and practice."
"I think the sophistication of the show is intimidating to some, but if they listen to the lyrics in each song, they can find themselves somewhere in a character, or two," Conn said.
"I think (people) should see this show because Sonheim has a way of making people who may not like musical theatre actually enjoy it," Wilson said. "The music is complex and beautiful, the comedy is there, and the story line has intensity."
"The music is just gorgeous," Conn said. "What a great way to spend the evening."
The show premieres Friday night at 8 p.m. at the Old Opera House, 204 N. George St. in Charles Town. Tickets are $19 for adults and $10 for students.

Since its creation in 1994, the Vans Warped Tour has proven to be one of the most consistently successful annual traveling festivals in all of rock.
As much as Warped has acted as a showcase for up-and-coming bands and a home-away-from-home for aging, fully tenured punk-rock icons, it has also offered fans considerable bang for their considerably dwindling entertainment bucks.
Warped packs as many as 100 bands onto its several stages across the span of some 12 hours at each stop on its annual summer run. For a reasonable ticket price – under $50 for a general admission all-day pass, when Warped stops at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center on Saturday – the Warped attendee can roam the grounds, taking in a steady rotation of bands spread across the festival. Don't like what you're hearing on one stage? Walk a few hundred feet to the next one, and perhaps it will suit you better.
On occasion, however, Warped can feel a bit overwhelming. With so many bands performing on so many stages, the Warped attendee needs to maintain something resembling organization and efficiency. That means staying well-hydrated throughout the long ordeal, particularly if you're spending hour after hour in the direct sunlight – something that's inevitable, unless you stick to the two stages located within the covered main amphitheater area, in which case, you're going to miss an awful lot of great stuff. It also means getting your hands on a schedule and plotting the course of your adventure – never too tough to pull off at Warped, since organizers always make schedules available to attendees, and surprise they generally stick to those schedules!
Warped started life as a punk-rock festival, and to a certain degree, it remains one today. Many acts who have made Warped part of their yearly itinerary are back on board this year, and their inclusion in the roster lends an air of authenticity to the experience, as if to suggest that Warped has stayed true to its original modus operandi.
That said, Warped is also all about giving new bands an opportunity to strut their stuff in front of a large and generally very attentive crowd. For many artists, Warped can represent a real career breakthrough if not a direct launching pad to bigger and better things, then at least a step down the path toward broader success.
Bearing this in mind, I've gone through the roster of bands slated to play the Darien Lake stop on Saturday – more than 90 of them! – and separated out all of the acts making their debut as a Warped Tour member. Of those Warped "virgins," I've narrowed things down to the artists I think are most likely to make a major impact at Saturday's show.
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here, then, are the Warped Tour first-timers you don't want to miss Saturday.
Alvarez Kings
This UK foursome has been turning heads across the pond over the past few years. Alvarez Kings have described their sound as "progressive pop," which makes sense. There is indeed a nod to the garage rock of bands like Jet and the Blue Van in the band's mix, but so, too, do sophisticated and angular guitar lines make their presence felt. And the full-throated vocals and reach-for-the-sky choruses suggest a debt to the best efforts of the Jam. Of this year's Warped first-timers, Alvarez Kings make the top of the must-see list.
Quite likely the band on this year's Warped Tour with the lowest median age, Los Angeles alt-pop quartet Echosmith is composed of siblings Graham, Sydney, Noah and Jamie Sierota. The Sierotas range in age from 14 to 20, but already, the group's blend of straight pop and mild electronic elements has earned the Sierotas a deal with Warner Bros. Kids who love Owl City and Neon Trees will eat this stuff up at Warped.
Architects (UK)
One of the leading lights on the contemporary British metalcore scene, Architects make their Warped debut with a sound that has evolved from hardcore, thrash-infused beginnings into a much more grandiose, melody-conscious, light/shade dynamic. A new twist on a tried and true formula for heaviness.
Grant Harris, aka GOLDHOUSE, is a U.S. DJ and remix engineer who has been building a considerable buzz through live appearances and the underground success of last year's "The Morning After" mixtape release. This may well be remembered as the year when Warped fully embraced electronic dance music, and GOLDHOUSE is one of the more cutting-edge artists in the genre.
Billy the Kid
Billy is a she, in fact, and not so much of an outlaw. Billy Pettinger is a Canadian singer-songwriter, whose debut effort, "The Lost Cause," was produced by Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace. Pettinger's music boasts a lovely high-lonesome lilt that suggests a feminine perspective on Ryan Adams' blend of country, pop, rock and folk. "Stars Exploding," her just-released new collection, ably marries the sweetness of the Kid's melodies with a tougher urban perspective.
Lionz of Zion
My pick for the sleeper hit of this year's Warped extravaganza, Greenville, S.C.'s Lionz of Zion blends reggae, funk, soul and good old rock music into an infectious, groove-centric whole. Live videos on YouTube suggest that this is a band for whom uber-tight ensemble performance is a paramount concern. There's something delightfully subversive about a jam band infiltrating a punk festival, too.
Five Knives
Fronted by the aggressively lovely Anna Worstell, this Nashville-born band marries electronic dance music to real-time band performances. The group's bio claims that the Five Knives sound is "best described as a blend of M.I.A. and Nine Inch Nails," and that's pretty much on the money. Five Knives are dragging '80s synth music and '90s industrial kicking and screaming into the present day.
Gin Wigmore
Already a huge star in her native New Zealand, Wigmore is eyeing a multinational takeover, and this year's Warped Tour is a smart place for the launching of that offensive. Her multi-idiomatic sound boasts elements of pop, rock, folk, alternative and more traditional singer-songwriter fare, and her startling good looks aren't likely to halt Wigmore's ascent. A definite "don't miss" for this year's Warped.
Art of Shock
The hard rock/glam boogie/metal hybrid that owned the Sunset Strip in California at the tail end of the 1980s and into the early '90s stubbornly refuses to die. Art of Shock is the latest in a long line of gritty hard rock bands to emerge from a generation that was busy being born while Guns 'N Roses released "Appetite for Destruction." This three-piece blends a power trio's tenacity with the sleazy funk of the Hollywood night life.
Repeat offenders:
All of these acts have played Warped tours past, most of them no strangers to fans who have attended the tour's stops at Darien Lake over the years. Each of them is worth catching again.
Charlotte Sometimes
Alternative pop with a slightly dark and menacing underside.
Hawthorne Heights
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Screamo.
The goofiest hip-hop/EDM duo this side of LMFAO returns for further hijinks.
Reel Big Fish
A Warped Tour without ska-punk would not be a Warped Tour at all.
Big D and the Kids Table
This punk/hip-hop/ska hybrid always delivers the goods at Warped.
Black Veil Brides
You think you're hot out there in front of the stage? Try dressing head-to-toe in black goth clothing and guyliner, with tons of hairspray in your 'do. This band of metallic gender-benders always kicks up a ruckus at Warped.

I bought these for my mother who used to get terribly excruciatingly painful foot cramps often, to the point where she would cry. I knew I had to find something fast, I read that unbalanced electrolytes were one of the main causes of intense leg/foot cramps (also known as Charlie Horses). Ever since she started taking these, she only had one small episode in the beginning which wasn't bad at all. We think it was because she was taking two per day. She cut back and only takes one per day and now she hasn't had anything happen for weeks! I would highly recommend them to anyone who gets similar painful joint cramps.
We are trying second product of this brand and we just love them. They are of a high quality and standards and they are effective. This product is exactly what I and my man need after hard workouts. Otherwise we are feeling more sluggish and we can experience muscle, joint aches, especially at night. Other electrolytes selling companies are very expensive here at iherb, so this one is very kind by selling good product at affordable price.
Best electrolytes ever!
Posted by 5067380865158386950 on Apr 07, 2016
The ingredients are fantastic. No sugar. Vegan capsules. I take one or two a day and they have eased leg cramps. Also contains chromium, good for diabetics.
Can't really feel the difference
Posted by Reviewer2635763 on Jun 17, 2015
I tried to replace my isotonic drink with this product but it doesn't seem to have the same effect. I still feel drained if i just take this and water. The isotonic drinks perk me up fast enough to continue playing whatever game I was in.
Too much vitamin C
Posted by 5043715216815057764 on Jun 10, 2015
I can hardly call this product Electrolytes. If you look at formulation carefully you will see that the amount of electrolytes is very small while as vitamin C seems to be the main ingredient. I would not recommend this product as a source of electrolytes especially to those who have gastritis and stomach ulcers
I love this product!
Posted by Reviewer2573032 on May 17, 2015
I had such bad foot and leg cramps that I was ready to quit sports. This product really works! A big thank you to iHerb for not only providing such a great product but also making it so affordable.
Adrenal/brain fog help
Posted by Gondwanaland00 on Feb 20, 2015
I don't exercise due to fatigue, but this product is a great help for adrenals by keeping sudden sweats away. It lifts brain fog and lowers histamine.
