Re: Article: Clarity and Self-Delusion in One's Training by George S. Ledyard
Just wanted to share my thoughts on your article. I appreciate when someone tells me that I made them think and possibly changed something in their life, and it seems that this is what you were trying to get across.
Sounds like I'm part of the trunk. I've been training twice a week for the past year, and three times/week for 3 years prior to that. I've quit and turned down jobs so that I can continue to train in those 2 afternoon classes. So I'm pretty much a regular. Needless to say, aikido training is pretty important to me. However, I'm not a root (as you define it) nor do I desire to be. At least not now, though things change throughout life. Obtaining shodan would be a good goal for me, but am not too concerned with rank. I may be able to attend more when my son (now 2) hopefully gets into aikido. Right now I'm happy to be training and still getting corrected and improving techniques from sensei.
My dedication is more toward Tai Chi. I've been practicing a form for about 8 years, but gotten more serious (doing Tui Shou and a more regular class) the past year. This forced me to give up one aikido class each week. There are two main reasons. I'm able to, and it is extremely important for development, to practice on my own. I've found this is more difficult in aikido (except weapons). Since I can practice at home, this means less time away from family. The bigger reason is that for me its easier to relax, because this is the primary focus. It's also better for me to reach my goal of Agatsu. I'm not saying any way is better than another, in general, but only for each individual.
Someone told me on my recent aikido test that I looked very rooted and relaxed/sunken chest. I believe that my aikido is getting deeper through my Tai Chi, but I don't have the delusion that aikido is my main ... training.
Aikido has been very good to me, and I would hope to be able to give back in some way. I might have a chance to do that as my Tuesday sensei has asked me and another noon regular to teach if she's gone once or twice a year.
One nice thing is that one of the head Sensei whose class I attend once a week, has some Tai Chi and has a very calm and relaxed teaching method. I still enjoy the more vigorous teaching of my other instructor.
Anyway, thanks to you and other instructors for not rejecting students like me who are not roots for the art. You are not wasting your time.

Gracie's Sleeping Beauty costume was already pretty on point for a Let It Go exhibition.
I mean, it's not like it really matters that it won best song, seeing as how Three Six Mafia won for "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp" a few years earlier, so you can't exactly take the category very seriously.
This post seems pretty on-point for Disney comparisons:
Gracie as Aurora and Charlotte, and three other skaters you might recognize as Elsa? Sure why not?
Yuna will be presenting Frozen medley as her ice show opening including 'let it go'
They also said the closing ceremony would be "Time to Say Goodbye" - by Lucio Quarantotto & Francesco Sartori. The music will be played by the orchestra. So excited to see the grandeur of the ice show.
I think I will be crying during the closing ceremony.
Just in case if anyone is curious of Yuna's gala program, It's "Nessum Dorma" a song from musical Turandot. of course with the orchestra too.
I wish I could be there.
...It's not a very good song to skate to. Besides the theme, of course, but the music itself is kinda, not bad, not terribly good, just okay.
And it's not that I don't like Disney songs, I love the sound track to Tarzan, Brave, Lion King etc, but 'Let it Go' doesn't seem to have much going for it in terms of crescendo or beats that would be good for a skater.
I loved Gracie's performance of it @ SOI last night! Her costume was gorgeous, too!
I think Yuna's voice suit with Elza more than Adele Dazeem.
Hi Guys.
Looks like Yuna Kim will be performing Let it Go in her ice show.

On September 13, 2012, the Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed lixivaptan, a new vasopressin receptor antagonist.1 These agents correct hyponatremia by producing a selective water diuresis without affecting sodium and potassium excretion; the resultant urinary free water loss raises serum sodium levels. Hyponatremia, diagnosed as a laboratory serum sodium of less than 138 mEq/L, is seen in nearly 38% of hospitalized patients and creates a potentially large population eligible for therapy.2 Historically, severe reductions in serum sodium levels have been accepted as a surrogate end point by the FDA, leading to approval in the United States of both tolvaptan and conivaptan. The label for these approved drugs specifies an indication for the treatment of severe hyponatremia— a serum sodium level of 125 mEq/L—or less marked hyponatremia that is symptomatic and resistant to correction with fluid restriction in patients with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), acute decompensated heart failure, or cirrhosis. However, the validity and clinical utility of serum sodium levels as a surrogate marker for clinical benefit remain uncertain.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A leaked diplomatic cable has undermined the U.S. ambassador's relationships with key Afghan ministers at a time when ties between the two nations are already strained, a top adviser to President Hamid Karzai said Saturday.
Afghan Finance Minister Omar Zakhilwal, who is well-respected by the international community, vehemently denied that he called Karzai "an extremely weak man" as reported in a Feb. 26, 2010, cable written by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry.
The report is "absolutely, categorically wrong and false," Zakhilwal said at an afternoon news conference. "It certainly will not be business as usual between some ministers and the ambassador."
In a raised voice, Zakhilwal accused Eikenberry of misquoting him in the cable to further Eikenberry's own opinion that Karzai was not a reliable partner. In a different cable leaked in November 2009, Eikenberry warned against sending substantial numbers of additional troops because Karzai was "not an adequate strategic partner."
"The ambassador has used my name to support his views of the president," Zakhilwal said about Eikenberry, a retired lieutenant general who once commanded troops in Afghanistan.
Zakhilwal said the cable has not only hurt Eikenberry's relationship with him, but his ties with key ministers in the government.
"I find this extremely unprofessional. ... I find this extremely undiplomatic, and to be honest with you, I am extremely saddened," Zakhilwal said. "And this leaves no trust between me and the ambassador - extremely little trust."
In a statement, Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy, said: "We know there are many questions raised by these leaks and we will work through those in private with our Afghan partners. We are determined not to allow the reckless actions of WikiLeaks to harm the strong and strategic relationships we have built over many years with many members of the government of Afghanistan."
Zakhilwal said he met with Karzai on Friday and offered to resign. He said Karzai asked him to stay on and told him that he didn't believe that he could have made such comments.
At a news conference in Kabul with the visiting Pakistani prime minister, Karzai defended Zakhilwal.
"I can assure you that Zakhilwal, our finance minister, has not said such things to Americans," Karzai said.
He alleged that U.S. officials were getting back at the finance minister over comments he made about Kabul Bank, a troubled institution that is now under the control of the Afghan Central Bank.
The rift came just hours after President Barack Obama made a brief, roughly three-hour visit to U.S. troops at Bagram Air Field outside Kabul. Foul weather kept him from flying by helicopter to the capital to see Karzai. Zakhilwal confirmed that weather prevented Obama's flight, but said Karzai did not feel slighted because he had just spent time with Obama two weeks ago at a NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal.
In his speech to the troops, Obama said the U.S. will "continue to forge a partnership with the Afghan people for the long term."
The cable was part of a vast tranche of files released by the WikiLeaks website, which portray Afghanistan as rife with graft to the highest levels of government. The leaks could further erode support for the nine-year war and bolster the concerns of U.S. lawmakers who have threatened to hold back aid until they are convinced the money will not end up lining the pockets of the political elite.

Food Recalls - Planning and conducting a Food Recall and Crisis Communication
In this Food Recall training learn how to create a crisis response plan, data gathering, investigation phase specifics and how to communicate under different scenarios.
Product ID: 701643
Why Should You Attend :
Reacting is the norm but anticipating and preparing are what's needed. Creating a robust process that will protect both the consumer and the company's reputation requires careful planning and the active involvement of each department. Another crucial element is communication, with the public as well as customers and shareholders. The risk posed by the product is one important element but anticipating the consumer's reaction is key. Whether they respond with disinterest to a serious hazard versus outrage requires a different communication strategy. As well, the messages sent at the outset of the recall will be different than when the regulator gets involved and different again as the recall reaches a conclusion.
The course will describe how to create the most comprehensive Recall Plan (or Crisis Response Plan).Once the process has been documented we will review the Data Gathering / Investigation phase specifically and give examples of microbiological studies (e.g. Listeria monocytogenes) important issues to be remembered. We will discuss what are the best practices of an effective crisis communication. We will discuss the roles and approaches under different crisis scenarios.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Why should we have a Crisis Response Plan.
- How to create a flow diagram of the steps in a product recall.
- Develop list of team members' roles and responsibilities at each step.
- Understand product recovery vs product recall and its classification.
- Example of the recent product recall and its trickledown effect.
- Example of investigation process of a Listeria outbreak.
- Review the best practice for effective Crisis Communication.
- Outline the responses / approaches based on a variety of crisis scenarios.
- Questions and discussion: What do you see your role to be and the others in your company and add suggestions.

I'm overweight so I ordered a large. It's still skin tight. The fabric is thin so I look terrible and won't wear it until I lose a lot of weight. Not sending it back because it was a great sale and postage would cost too much.

Arnaudville gets report on landfill
Arnaudville — Officials of St. Landry Parish's public landfill operation presented the Board of Aldermen last week with plans to expand the operation.
Peter Olivier, a representative of the St. Landry Solid Waste Commission, and Katry Martin, the commission's executive director, said they were there to ask for input on the proposal for St. Landry Parish to take in more waste from outside the parish.
The operation of the Beggs facility provides significant income for municipalities in the area, with Arnaudville receiving $20,000 last year. With the increase in waste from outside the parish, proceeds to the parish and municipalities would increase accordingly. The facility retains 15% of all proceeds for operating costs and the remaining funds are evenly split between St. Landry Parish and towns within the parish.
The capacity of this facility is not expected to reach its capacity until 2034.
Martin stated that the Solid Waste Commission is in good standing with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which was confirmed by Alderman Annette Guidry, who had recently visited the site.
During the discussion, Alderman Ricky LaGrange asked how many more parishes would be added to the list of locations able to dispose of waste at the facility. Martin responded that currently three parishes are using the facility, but no more than a total of five would be allowed to enter into contracts with the commission. He added that the landfill has been operating successfully for 22 years and that it was designed at its current size to operate for an additional 25-30 years.
"It is well-designed and safe," he said.
On a daily basis, the facility receives 200-250 tons of solid waste per day. Additional waste will not increase costs substantially and all refuse is put through an integrated approach to solid waste management — over four million pounds have been recycled. Wood waste is chipped and recycled and "white goods" (washing machines, refrigerators) are taken out of the waste stream.
Alderman "Doc" Broussard commented on how well-kept the site is and asked if there is any way to capture and use the gas created by the landfill. Olivier responded that the commission is in the midst of a study as to how to trap and utilize the gas.
"I'm a strong advocate of recycling and I hope we can trap enough gas to operate the facility and perhaps eventually sell gas," Olivier said.
Since 1999 Arnaudville has received $110,000 from its share of the landfill's proceeds, including $2,000 for asbestos abatement. The commission will continue to control the amount and type of waste taken in at the landfill.

The kingdom's leading luxury hotel is mind-blowing. First, there's the 875-foot office tower which is the tallest building in Saudi Arabia.

With dedicated 24-hour butler service, the hotel has proved a pioneer in Saudi Arabia's luxury hotel market with this elevated standard of personalized service. And, last but not least, the incredible Globe restaurant. Encapsulated in the stunning golden geodesic orb that tops Al Faisaliah Tower, the restaurant features staggering views of Riyadh. The three-story restaurant is topped by the city's first cigar lounge while scenic glass elevators and a staircase on the interior rim of each of the three floors bring guests to a truly unrivaled destination.

My Sunday Routine in the New York Times
By admin | June 27, 2011
It was really exciting to be featured in the Sunday Routine column this weekend. Sundays are a sacred day, and although I'm frequently working on the wekeends, it's nice to be able to spend time playing soccer, spending time with my wife Maya, and getting to catch up on the phone with my Mom.
Sundays usually start with papers, ginger juice, and croissants, and end with a nice dinner at August or grilling out on the patio. It's nice to have a day of fun and relaxation to get ready for the week ahead, although I'm often cooking at the Rooster!
For the rest of my Sunday routine, check out the entire column here.

Osuna produced for the Riders again in the fifth when he executed a perfect bunt on a 3-2 pitch for a base hit. Osuna attempted to steal second, but Canham over threw second base committing the error, advancing Osuna to third. Right after, Marcus Lemon hit a line drive to center field that scored a run and put the Rough Riders up 2-0.
The Rough Riders had a man on base again in the sixth when Emerson Forstad ripped a fastball into far right field, extending the lead to 3-0.
The Missions began to rally in the seventh. With a man on first, the designated hitter Christian Colonel hit a high fly ball over the left field fence which scored two runs and brought the game within reach for the Missions.
"We definitely had our chances to come back late in the game," said Missions manager Doug Dascenzo. "They just played better baseball than us tonight. Other than Colonel's homer in the seventh we didn't produce any offense and we paid for it."
The eighth and ninth innings were scoreless which ended the game with a final score of 3-2. The Missions are three games back from Midland, making the next series a very important one for the Missions season.

Letters to the editor: Why marijuana should be legalized
First, I support severe penalties for adults who give or smoke this drug around young brains (infant through 21 years) that are not fully developed. Studies have shown that these developing brains do not recover from damage inflicted by this drug.
Legalization of this drug will take it out of the hands of criminals who have no regard for children. It would be regulated and taxed.
These taxes could be used for education, repairs to roads and bridges, and hopefully lowering property taxes. Hemp could become a major agricultural product to be used in ropes, clothing, paper, fuel and building materials.
It can also be used as a "mop crop" to clear chemicals from water. After the chemical spill into the Elk River in West Virginia, we might want to plan ahead for other spills on the horizon. So instead of giving all of this revenue to criminals who continue to be a financial burden to the taxpayers as they are arrested and spend time in jail, we could be adding jobs and revenue to our legal economy.
At the very least, we should all help children like Lorelei -- visit www.mmj4l.com -- get the medical help they desperately need by passing Senate Bill 770.

Erie bayfront
projects lauded
Living in Boca Raton, Fla., I enjoy reading the Erie Times-News every morning with my coffee.
I recently read the article on Erie County Council with the debt guarantee ("Hotel backing sought," Jan. 17). Let me say first, we should applaud citizens like Roger Richards for taking the time and effort to make Erie a better place and, more importantly, a destination for tourists.
As one of the first county councilmen, I remember we were approached to help with the Lampe Marina construction. When I voiced my support, I received many negative letters of opposition, e.g. "Why should we support with tax dollars rich boaters, when Erie is an industrial city when many companies like Hammermill Paper, American Sterlizer and other industries." We know the end of that story.
I expressed my support because I had visited Baltimore, which has a waterfront similar to Erie, and it was beautiful with many shops and quality restaurants. I envisioned Erie to someday have a similar bayfront. We are now getting to that point over the last 20 years.
I am very proud of the Bayfront Convention Center. I hope the former GAF Materials Corp. property is also developed in a way similar to Mizner Place in Boca Raton, with a beautiful park setting in the middle and surrounded by stores, restaurants and condos on the second and third levels. An aquarium with the native lake fish would be a huge attraction.
I hope that County Council and the county executive also see the potential of our natural resource that will bring revenue into our town.
I also maintain a summer home in Erie, because there is no better place to enjoy the summer than my hometown.

Taxpayers face
'stacked deck'
I think I will change my routine. Will I have any company?
I start my day with breakfast as I read the Erie Times-News. So far so good, right? Wrong.
While reading the Jan. 22 paper, two articles caught my eye: "Millcreek still in red" and "Senator seeks CRIZ program expansion." A word to the wise: Don't do this on a full stomach.
In card terms, we taxpayers call this a stacked deck. There is no end to what the politicians at all levels -- national on down -- will do to bankrupt John and Jane Doe.
We are but pawns when it comes to this constant legalized thievery. If "go along to get along" state Sen. Sean Wiley and the like would go to bat for us blank checks like they do for developers, we just might have a nickel to call our own.
Please tell us how many living wage jobs this City Revitalization and Improvement Zone will bring on board.

for trash mess
Commenting on Erie's garbage service delinquency of $2.5 million ("Time to pay," Erie Times-News, Jan. 19):
This is completely irresponsible of Mayor Joe Sinnott, each City Council member, previous councils, and one or more department heads. Although each will have their excuses, it is irresponsible and a complete dereliction of duty to which most have avowed to carry through. Why have ceremonies and administration of oaths?
It's more proof that we voters do not have the truth of candidates. Each political party seeks only a candidate who smiles, makes a favorable impression and speaks well (for example, "going forward," "hold the line on taxes," refer to the "little guy" and fault your opponent).
It's all about the next election, keeping the power and -- something I used to deny -- it's all about selfishness and money.

at issue
in Millcreek
Regarding the headline "Millcreek still in red" (Erie Times-News, Jan. 22):
The taxpayers and schoolchildren have endured long enough. It is my opinion that Michael Golde, former superintendent of Millcreek schools, should be forced to repay his salary for the financial situation that occurred.
Then current Superintendent William Hall and the entire School Board associated with Golde, as well as Golde, should be scrutinized for fiduciary malfeasance.
Where is the accountability? Where is the class action suit on behalf of the taxpayers? Where is Golde and why did he receive protection when the taxpayers didn't?

Millcreek Township
Guarantee for
hotel questioned
These questions must be answered before making any grant decision for the Bayfront development.
In a recent Erie Times-News survey, 96 percent of responders said no to public money being tied up for another bayfront hotel. Is anyone listening to their constituents?
Why did state Sen. Sean Wiley request this $25 million grant so quietly?
Do the taxpayers really know we will be on the hook for a possible $80 million in debt if the hotels fail? Why is everything rush-rush when taxpayer money is on the line?
If the grant is voted in, then no City Revitalization and Improvement Zone designation should be given to the former GAF Materials Corp. site -- no double dipping.
Where is the report on how much money has been repaid on the first guaranteed hotel loan? Weren't we all taught if you don't have it to spend, don't spend it?

Heroes Movie (2008) review with complete story and synopsis
Heroes is a story of two boys who begin their journey from Delhi to Chandigarh and then Manali Ladhakh. In its journey these boys come across certain real life characters played by Salman, preity, Sohail, Sunny and Bobby on this trip and these people have a negative impact on the seed of heroism blooms within them. So, in reality it is the story about this drastic change in the lives of these two guys.
Heroes is the story of that trip. A journey enriched with moments and experiences that changes the perspective of two young boys. Sammy Ali and his childhood friends. They have joint decisions in life, from choosing a school to have a career. Although not related, they are together because they are very dependent on each other - two bodies, one soul. Sammy is an eccentric young, passionate and has a strange deftness to find humor in the most bizarre. He is generous, compassionate yet impulsive. He was a guy who should fall to learn to walk. Ali on the other side is calmer and more mature.

What was the rifle tha the Imperial Army soldiers were using in the climax of the Last Samurai? They had a bolt-action but appeared to be single shot.

Well, depending on when the movie/battle scenes were supposed to have taken place, it could have been a Murata, which was adopted sometime around 1880.
It was a single-shot bolt action in 11x60Rmm, based on the French Chassepot design.
The Japanese bought large quantities of French Chassepot rifles, a turn-bolt type action that originally used a paper-wrapped cartridge, but which had been converted to the 11x59Rmm Gras cartridge.
December 11, 2003, 11:02 PM
Took place in 1876-77. In the beginning of the movie, they had rifle-muskets, but at the end, they had single shot cartridge rifles.
Mike Irwin
December 12, 2003, 12:05 AM
That would be about right. The Japanese bought a lot of Chassepot rifles in the 1875 period, IIRC.
December 12, 2003, 12:12 AM
It was interesting to see the old Gatling guns in the movie, too.

Sounds great, I gotta see it. I love period epics, especially from less well know periods.
Mike Irwin
December 12, 2003, 12:47 AM
Are the Gatling guns historically accurate for Japan?
December 12, 2003, 12:55 AM
Well, in the movie they're provided by the US, in an attempt to lure the Japanese government to sign a lucrative arms deal.

There's new wealth being created within aboriginal communities across Canada thanks to specific claim settlements, resource sharing, and gaming revenues. And Jack Jamieson, vice president of aboriginal services at T. E. Wealth, saw this trend emerging 15 years ago, while leading the southwestern Ontario division of Ernst & Young's investment advisory practice.
The Key Steps for Enacting Positive, Sustainable Change
Across the country, the receipt of settlement proceeds in aboriginal communities is bringing with it opportunities as well as challenges. As the T.E. Wealth Aboriginal Services team has discovered, effective stewardship of this new found wealth requires much more than prudent investment management.
A New Era of Opportunity for Canada's Aboriginal Communities The settlement of the more than 1,000 outstanding aboriginal land claims will collectively put billions of dollars in the hands of the affected Aboriginal communities. With this money comes a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the bands but only when it can be put to good use to further the development of the community and provide an economic base for generations to come.
Community Growth and Sustainability Takes Time and Planning
There is a significant amount of new wealth being created within aboriginal communities across Canada, as a result of land and specific claim settlements, resources sharing opportunities, gaming revenues, economic development and other revenue generating sources.

The Octogenarians II, movie-going audience 0 *** SOILED DIAPER ALERT ***
Unfortunately, I had to pay prime dollar to see this POS. May God forgive me. (sorry, Coaster, but I can't help it)
With so many OP* in this thing, it was extremely difficult to differentiate it from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Mostly, though, shit go boom, marigolds be dammned. The only thing missing from this wonderful demonstration of love and happiness was Steve Seagull and the ever-expanding waistline that the viewing audience never gets to see.
The Sly One lives in his airplane, a CL-215 - yeah, I know, a clapped-out waterbomber, but what does Hollywood know about shit? I'd like to have heard the Canadian pitch that angle to Hollyweird dumbasses - which he keeps in a hangar.
JCVD is the only senior citizen that doesn't need subtitles to translate what he says to these old bastards. I'm thinking it has to be because of French national healthcare, because he still has all of his teeth. He has good tris too. Then he takes off his sunglasses and everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
Will someone please write a fan letter to Chuckie Cheesehead and let him know that he should spend some of his residuals on trying to hook up with a more natural hair color? No doubt he can afford it. When he dies, his kids will most likely duel to the death over what's left anyway.
There are plenty of places in the movie for bathroom breaks, probably because all of the aged peformers would have needed quite a few in order to make this thing work, what with all the enlarged prostates in evidence. Consequently, Arnie's "I'll be back" has taken on a whole new meaning.

Angry Khan hints at Prescott rematch
Angry Khan hints at Prescott rematch
ESPN staff
Amir Khan has reacted angrily to derogatory comments made by former foe Breidis Prescott, with the Brit insisting a rematch between the pair "will be sooner rather than later" if the Colombian finds a way past Paul McCloskey.
Khan suffered the only defeat of his professional career at the hands of Prescott in 2008, a devastating first-round knockout that stopped Khan's blossoming career in its tracks. However, under the guidance of revered trainer Freddie Roach, Khan has slowly rebuilt and has gone on to become the premier fighter of the light-welterweight division, with the WBA and IBF belts to his name.
Since his crushing loss to Prescott three years ago, Khan has frequently been asked when he will step back into the ring with his adversary, with the Brit preferring to answer that he does not need Prescott and that the Colombian is only hunting a big payday.
However, a second fight could be in the pipeline after some insulting comments from Prescott appeared to get under Khan's skin. Khan recently tipped McCloskey, who he beat on a six-round technical decision in April, to get the better of Prescott when the two clash on September 10.
Prescott responded with a series of verbal attacks aimed in Khan and his father Shah's direction. Prescott told boxingscene.com:"I bet you do have your money on McCloskey because you are a sissy. Anything that prevents you from fighting me again. You are a punk, your father is a punk and your whole team is full of punks. Especially your father, who babies you and that's the reason you have grown into a real ***. And you were right, the mistake you made was fighting me.
"Now if you are a man, after I beat McCloskey in his hometown and knock him dead like I did with you in your hometown - lets fight in December. You do all this talking but you are scared to fight. If you don't fight me, I will spit in you and your punk father's face."
Khan took to Twitter on Tuesday to reply to Prescott's vociferous jousts. He wrote: "Prescott talking rubbish again... Or shall I say his manager/promoter talking **** for him, they all crying for a payday hahahahaa. Thats all they want, u [sic] dont see Prescott calling out Mitchell who beat him, I wonder how much hes getting paid to fight McCloskey?
"Honestly dont think Prescott will beat McCloskey, Paul very awkward and tricky 2 [sic] catch, if he does our rematch will be alot sooner thn [sic] later."

Prescott needs to beat up McCloskey for sure, or else he can kiss the rematch/paycheck goodbye. He should continue talking shit about Khan and his father some more, I enjoyed it.

They say that his father is a real nice dude and the guy whose his spokesman is the nicest guy u will ever meet. when i was at my cousin house a yr or so back i was saying how amir is ducking marcos and fighting dimitri salita. My cousin said hold on il ask his uncle , lemme fone him.
In amirs culture its very bad disrespecting ones family. its dishonourable. so he took it to heart. its like he has to defend his honour

As a Red Wings fan-turned blogger who spent the better part of a decade doing my thing on internet message boards until this "blog" thing came along, I'm used to seeing other websites swipe stuff I posted sans credit. It's a sort of badge of honor, a, "Well, at least they're reading" indication.
As far as the Red Wings' signing of Todd Bertuzzi is concerned, however, Jimmy Devellano's revelation to The Fan 590 that the Red Wings were negotiating with "Big Bert," which I certainly didn't believe until I heard it, bore fruit because QuarterChicken on HF Boards and PRStoetzer from SpartanTailgate.com--and their hard-working friends--did the heavy lifting here, both breaking the story and tracking it down so that it couldn't be blown off.
Nice work, guys and gals. You deserve a shout-out and a big, "Thank you!" for your efforts.

NFL Insider: Media Day Madness
The National Football League's annual circus known as Super Bowl Media Day came and went on Tuesday, as there were roughly 5,000 media credentials issued and for the first time more than 7,000 fans in attendance.
The NFL Would Sell The Air You Breathe If they Could
For the first time ever, a certain sect of the general public was allowed to attend Media Day provided they purchase tickets at $25 each which were reportedly later scalped at more than 10X that figure.
Yes, the public purchased tickets to watch the media ask questions.
Perhaps many of those who plopped down the $25 to watch us go to work were hoping for an Ines Sainz wardrobe malfunction or they were mystified by 100 reporters standing around watching Bill Belichick say virtually nothing about anything, but this is your media day.
There is no truth to the rumor that Roger Goodell is lobbying to charge PSL's for attendance to shopping malls that sell NFL merchandise and electronics stores that sell televisions which you could watch the National Football League on.
Pulling A Freddie Mitchell
Bill Belichick will emphatically tell you, or perhaps Freddie Mitchell will too, the first rule of media day is to not give the opposing team any bulletin board material. As easy as this sounds, there are always a few players that "slip-up," in one capacity or another.
At this point we bring you to New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle who pulled a Joe Namath at this morning's event.
?We?re going to win this thing,? Rolle said, via Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger. ?We?re going to win this thing for a lot of good reasons.?
Quickly realizing the error of his ways, Rolle backtracked as a reporter asked him a follow-up question.
?I didn?t say we?re going to win, I said we?re going to go out there and do whatever it takes to win,? Rolle said. ?I didn?t guarantee anything.?
Too late Antrel. Imagine how early he's going to have to show up to Tom Coughlin's meetings now?
Does it matter at all that Rolle said the Giants were going to win? Absolutely not. Both teams are unquestionably motivated and all the talk in the world means very little once the ball is kicked off.
Gronk Ankle Hurt, Gront Not Allowed To Talk About It
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's ankle has been one of the biggest Super Bowl stories, aside of course from Peyton Manning who isn't actually playing in the game. "Gronk" was walking around the friendly confines of Lucas Oil Stadium with no walking boot, nor did he have a noticeable limp, which seems miraculous considering his father said last week in a radio interview that Rob suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Pats AFC Championship Game victory over Baltimore.
We couldn't get any confirmation on the injury from actor Rob Lowe, but Gronkowski was rolled up on pretty severely in a fourth period reception.
"I'm improving every day, Gronkowski said. "When you're hurt you want to improve every day."
Gronkowski later added, "We're just going day-by day and taking it day-by-day."
"Tomorrow's a new day and we'll have to see what happens tomorrow."
Rob Gronkowski folks, taking a chapter straight out of the Bill Belichick cliche handbook.
Peyton Continues to be the Biggest Manning
Although Eli Manning has matched his older brother Peyton's postseason success, Peyton was the biggest Manning story on Super Bowl Media Day and will likely remain so throughout the offseason.
With the Super Bowl being played in Peyton's current home, his health and impending split from the Colts has been a trending topic around NFL circles. The story is magnified in Indianapolis as they will have to say goodbye to the player that has brought the franchise unparralelled success throughout the past decade.
Brother of Peyton, Eli Manning who by the way is trying to win his second Super Bowl title played to the pro-Colts, pro-Peyton crowd during Media Day.
?Peyton has had an unbelievable career and in my opinion is the best I?ve ever seen play football,? Eli said. ?My goal is to get to his level of play. That?s something I?ve worked on.?
As for the Peyton Manning health mystery, the eldest Manning has announced in an exclusive ESPN interview that he's on track for a return next season.
?Doctors and I have been in good, constant communication,? said Manning. ?And I?m very encouraged by what they?ve said. Everything?s right on point, I?ll be cleared and ready to play.?
If Peyton does get a clean bill of health, no fewer than a third of the league will actively pursue his talents and he may be the most sought after free agent in the history of the league, even at 36 years old.

This study provides estimates of the effects of a grandfather clause in a California state law on nonmedical vaccine exemptions in California's schools
On June 25, 2015, California's governor approved Senate Bill (SB) 277, a state law that substantially narrows exceptions to school-entry vaccination mandates. The law goes into effect on July 1, 2016, and California will join Mississippi and West Virginia as the third state to disallow nonmedical exemptions (NMEs) from vaccination based on religious or philosophical beliefs for students entering public or private schools.1 Only medical exemptions will be permitted.

The Williamsport police force has always kept records, as you might expect, to track crime in the city. But now it will have "real time" data to work with....
It sounds great but "exactly" how does it work? I would like an example, without propaganda. Any arrests made with this fine piece of modern technology? Its supposed to be an aide, not a replacement, right?

In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. This collection offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education, as well as eliminating gender bias in academia and recruiting women students and faculty in science and engineering.
Recent events have proven that even prepared communities can be overwhelmed in a state of state of emergency. This collection of reports provides guidelines and targeted resources for all stakeholders in a disaster response, including state and local governments, emergency medical services and health care centers. These reports also examine the improvement of emergency services in rural communities and recommends post-disaster public engagement practices.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are cultural achievements that reflect our humanity, power our economy, and constitute fundamental aspects of our lives that contribute to our nation's competitiveness. This collection considers difference school models of STEM education, highlights research on effective STEM education practices, and identifies conditions that promote and limit school success in STEM. These reports are essential for all educators, policy makers, decision makers in school districts, government agencies, curriculum developers, and parent and education advocacy groups.
How did life evolve on Earth? The answer can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. This collection documents the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, stresses the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem management, and evaluates the alternative perspectives offered by various kinds of creationism. These reports also focus on how science and religion can be viewed as different ways of understanding the world, rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other. For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to better understand all aspects of evolutionary science, this collection is an essential resource.

Clint Hurdle looks like a good hire for the Pirates for the simple reason that he's not Jeff Banister.
As the Buccos narrowed their managerial search, it began to appear more and more like Banister would be the choice. Now, Banister is a good baseball man and a very nice guy, but picking him would have been a PR disaster.
Banister has been in the Pirate organization for 25 years, and by hiring him, it would have sent a terrible message to the fans. That message would have been that all the Bucs' management wanted was another "yes man" that they could control and who wouldn't ruffle feathers or challenge his bosses.
Another John Russell.
Instead of going that route, the Pirates bypassed their internal candidate and went out and got the best manager they could find.
Best is a relative term here.
The Bucs didn't get the best guy available. They got the best guy available who also wanted to come to Pittsburgh, a franchise that has lost for 18 consecutive seasons and probably has at least two more lean years ahead after this season's 57-105 debacle.
No great manager would take the Pirates job. They can't afford someone like that, and if the guy is that good to begin with, a better team would hire him.
So, is Clint Hurdle a savior who will turn things around in a hurry?
But he's not Russell, an awful manager who didn't seem to care win or lose. Russell was a lousy fit in a town that is passionate about its teams and deserves a manager who could argue with umpires or at least bother to look upset when everything is going wrong.
Hurdle won't have any problem with that. He was ejected 14 times between 2004 and '09 - ranking him in the top 10 in the majors - and is known as a fiery, passionate manager.
Hurdle also has a strong reputation for working with and developing young players, which of course are the cornerstone of the Pirates.
It will be up to him to get the most out of Pedro Alvarez, Andrew McCutchen, Neil Walker, Jose Tabata and others, letting them reach their potential with their own skill sets instead of foolishly trying to change them immediately like previous coaches did with Zach Duke, Chris Duffy and Brad Lincoln.
There's a good chance Hurdle will be overmatched by this challenge, like so many others before him.
Yes, he guided the Rockies to the World Series in 2007, so he knows what it's like to be around a winning team. But he knows much more about losing, which is what he did every other year during his Colorado tenure (2002-09) while compiling a 534-625 record.
It doesn't bode well for Hurdle that he was fired in 2009 after an 18-28 start, only to have Jim Tracy take over and lead the Rockies to the playoffs that year. The same Jim Tracy, mind you, who was abysmal as the Pirates' manager in 2006 (67-95) and 2007 (68-94) before getting fired.
The Tracy tenure proved something that many Bucco fans don't want to hear but probably already realize.
Tracy was considered a good manager and had a lot of success with the Dodgers before he came to Pittsburgh. Then he endured massive struggles with the Pirates. Then he enjoyed more success somewhere else. He either developed a bad case of stupidity here for two years, or ...
It's possible that no manager can win with the Pirates, given the financial restraints and everything they've had going against them for so long. Not Joe Torre, not Tony LaRussa, not Bobby Cox or any number of great managers.
Clint Hurdle is not a great manager, and there's no way to know how he will handle all the losing or if he can end it.
But at least he's not an internal "yes man" or, even worse, John Russell, so Hurdle undoubtedly will be a big improvement over recent years.

Insulin acts to transport the fat into your fat cells. The sugar spikes your insulin, and there's all this fat available. That's the theory, anyway.
This might turn out to be a roundabout question, because I want a lot of details to explain how this works.
Eating carbs raises blood sugar, yes. A potato is a starch and not a sugar, so it takes longer to break down into glucose in the gut, right? But then diabetes doctors tell me that high fat mixed with carbs makes that process take even longer, which seems to be true for me based on my blood sugar measurements. It's good because it lowers what would otherwise be a blood sugar spike, but bad because... why?
How is it that we are told not to mix high carb sources with high fat sources? I've read how it's addictive (like cake: sugar + fat = sooo addictive) which makes perfect sense to me neurologically. But what about metabolically? Is it so bad to eat a big baked potato and a steak? Or is that not really considered high enough carb to matter? Is this just CW drivel, or is there science supporting the idea that we should keep carbs separate from fat?
The carbs + fat blend is often blamed for weight gain. Is there merit to this claim? Or am I mixing up my primal knowledge with CW knowledge?

Insulin acts to transport the fat into your fat cells. The sugar spikes your insulin, and there's all this fat available. That's the theory, anyway.
If you want a potato with your steak, skip the big fluffy baked potato. Instead have a small white potato or half a sweet potato with butter on top. That will cut down the carb count.

But if you ate say a potato drowning in butter, wouldn't the butter slow down the glucose conversion quite a bit making insulin not spIke much?
(not arguing with you at all. I'm just wondering how both of these theories/occurrences exist together.)
Well, a big potato to me is small to most other people. And I guess I'm referring to sweet potatoes too.
So when we have a lot of insulin in our blood stream due to eating carbohydrates, our insulin is shoving fat into our cells...but not sugar? or is it working on both?
I'm not worried about carb counts. I'm usually around 50-70g a day, sometimes much lower. So a potato really is a pretty small one. I'm just wondering how it works, and if there is actually merit to the belief that we shouldn't eat starch with protein/fat. I guess I'm also wondering how both theories exist together...

I think the whole thing is total bunk and I haven't seen any science anywhere to support the "don't mix carbs and fat" idea - I think it's a meme that propogates on message boards only. How else are you supposed to eat carbs while paleo, if every single meal is high fat?
Whether you eat all carbs, all fat, or a combo, you will be using your meal for energy for the next several hours, and as it digests some of it will get stored as fat, whether the original food was carb or fat is totally irrelevant. The only alternative would be if you are severely glycogen depleted, the carbs will go straight to muscles and liver stores. The thing about keeping your insulin low is for when you are NOT immediately post-meal, you want those fat stores popping readily out of the adipose tissue. Exercise hard, moderate your carbs, and that will happen anyhow.
If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/
But as far as keeping insulin low in the following hours...if high fat slows the absorption of glucose into the blood stream, wouldn't that keep insulin slightly elevated over the hours post-meal that the glucose is getting absorbed? Or is the "slight" elevation still low enough that it wouldn't make much difference?

For years now the majority of my carbs were coming from fruit, although I was still "low-carb". I've now cut back on fruit to reduce fructose intake and started eating some white rice or different potatoes or other root veggies to get some starch daily, while still staying relatively "low-carb" and I've felt great since making this change.
@tfarny, I like your signature. I think a lot of this mixing carbs and fat, as well as ratio meme comes from Barry Sears's Zone book. I would guess someone could write a volume of books on how eating different combinations of foods could influence body composition, performance, and health. I'm not sure where you could find works on the subject, well except Sears's books. But I don't really take too much stock in his work.

Potato + Butter.... longer digestion, lower spike, but long progressive higher insulin/BS....simply, it just means it isnt for post workout and you should have an extended time before your next meal
Potato + _____(nothing)....quick processing, higher spike, beneficial to muscles when correct aminos are present, higher swing in BS(more dependent on you pancreas vs your liver)....simply, better for post workout when you want the spike and immediate use of carbs. due to the nature of the spike, quick glucose clearance youre prolly okay eating again relatively soon(i mean like 4-5 hours not an hr later)
