I really enjoyed reading the articles this week, and even more so the responses they produced. It's really interesting to see how people understand "storytelling" and how they understand what "2.o" represents. I don't pretend to understand all of it myself, but I think back to Lev Manovich's ideas of modularity (I apologize if any Clio 1′ers from last semester shuddered at hearing Manovich). If we are able to take digital components, and break them down into their modular components…by nature anyone can pick up these components and re-arrange them in order to create a different product-either slightly altered or radically different. BUT, if you take modular components from disparate sources to create a new product, then the possibilities are endless.
A mashup I saw last semester came to mind:
OK, if you didn't bother to click the link above, and hear an amazingly "fun"ky mashup, my next comment doesn't make sense. If you look at this mashup, replace the 1-3 second "sound-bite" with a phrase-each one pulled in from separate sources of storytelling.
So you could conceivably construct a fictional story where the main character…let's say Jesus… is sharing a long-lost pearl of wisdom with Luke, based on a lost book of Luke that was found by US soldiers in northern Iraq in 2008. In his warning to Luke, we'll construct Jesus' words using mash-up cuts from Star Wars to produce this dialogue: (Jesus) "Patience isn't too big, it's enough. You know it to be true. " (Luke) "But, Father, I am a boy. I get excited…it isn't quite enough to search for patience." This fictional piece of dialogue comes from Star Wars lines such as Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father…search your feelings, you know it to be true", Yoda saying "the boy has no patience" "…and well you should not" Luke saying "but it's too big", Leia saying "being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited." and " I am not a committee."
Ok, a screenwriter I am not. But storytelling 2.0 opens the possibilities of taking various tales, told by numerous characters, and re-arranging specific dialogue to create an original story. Suddenly, users can use modular dialogue and re-fashion them in a way they were not originally intended. In storytelling 1.0 and 2.0, the audience is a participant, is a creator (especially when the story is passed down to another generation). But what we can now achieve is a modular disassemble and re-assemble that can produce limitless results–with open and discoverable resources, open and transparent licensing, open and remixable formats needed. The question though, still comes back to the point we have discussed all along: is there a story worth telling?

Booker was terminated by former township manager Bregitte Braddock over "performance issues" on Feb. 29, 2012. Booker filed a lawsuit in Saginaw County Circuit Court in April alleging Braddock violated the state's Whistleblower Protection Act when she fired him Feb. 29.
Detective Sgt. Waterman filed a lawsuit against the township in Saginaw County Circuit Court, claiming Braddock violated Waterman's rights under the state's Civil Rights Act and Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act when she promoted Sgt. Kevin Kratz to replace former chief Brian Booker.
Buena Vista resident Marion Hakowski was one of about 25 people to attend the meeting and wait to hear from the board after the closed session.
"We were expecting they would tell us something," he said.

'The Aldobrandini Tazza'
Standing dish
About 1560-1570
Museum no. M.247-1956
This Tazza (or standing dish) depicts scenes from the life of the Roman Emperor, Domitian, who stands on a fluted column in the centre of the bowl. It is one of a set of 12, each of which represented one of the first 12 Caesars (or Emperors) of Imperial Rome. All twelve dishes survive but they are in different collections across the world. The dishes were owned in the late 1500s by a member of the Italian Aldobrandini family. The owner may have been Ippolito Aldobrandini the Elder, who later became Pope Clement VIII.

> magnum primer and varget ?
February 2, 2013, 06:54 PM
got a good deal on some federal magnum large rifle primers today would it hurt to load behind varget in 308

No, it won't hurt, but be advised that magnum primers are considerably hotter. They're meant for touching off powder charges ~2x heavier than 308.
You will want to work up your load CAREFULLY. Start at the minimum listed and go up in 1 gr increments, watching for flattened/cratered primers or bulging on the case. STOP when the primers aren't "rounded" after firing, the firing pin indent is cratered (you can feel a "lip", or you notice bulging towards the rear of the case.)
DO NOT use your old load data as a starting point. You might end up at a max load a grain or so below where you were before. Depends on your rifle.
February 3, 2013, 08:15 AM
From someone who has ACTUALLY done stuff like this...
Some time ago there was an article in Handloader Magazine comparing, among other things, accuracy in a 308 Winchester loaded with Varget. The best accuracy was obtained with CCI 250 (large rifle magnum) primers.
I've used Federal 215M and/or CCI 250 primers in a variety of cartridges like the 357 Herret, 460 S&W Magnum, 30/06, 270 Winchester and I can tell you it's no problem if you're not already running at the ragged edge of dangerous pressure. That said, for optimal accuracy, you should probably adjust the powder charge and in my experience most of the time you will not improve accuracy by using magnum primers in the smaller cases.
February 3, 2013, 09:19 AM
You will be fine, just start at Min and work up. Do NOT go below Min charge weight.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Money to burn, get it?
Beküldő: Frolic112 2009. december 16.
Based on the words cash and hashish, the term was coined by a bearded weed-fiend and originally used to describe money set aside to buy hash but usage has widened to describe money set aside to be later invested in non-specific recreational or social activities.
Any cashish you make on the deal you can bring and buy us beverages

I'm not talking about Pat Gillick or the Seattle Mariners.
For the fourth consecutive July 31 trading deadline, Gillick and the Mariners failed to make a sexy, headline-grabbing, morale-boosting trade that could have sent this city into an intoxicated swoon that would make Justin Timberlake envious.
Last year, the Mariners reached 108 game mark with a record of 66-42, the same record they have this year after sweeping the Tigers. Last year, after talking about adding someone to the roster to help stave off the on-rushing A's and Angels, the Mariners did nothing.
Departed Mariner skipper Lou Piniella was publicly furious with the front office for not getting him a hitter to help down the stretch. His bitterness over the Mariners' inaction may have been a large factor in his desire to leave Seattle in the offseason. In any case, the Mariners ended up limping and grumbling their way to 27-27 record over the final two months, good for third place.
But, hey, 93 wins is still a pretty good season. The Mariners were competitive, staying in the race until the final days of the season. But they weren't in the playoffs and they certainly weren't sexy.
In 2003, the Mariners look frighteningly similar to the team that all but collapsed during the previous pennant race. They look tired. They look like a team that is staring at themselves in the mirror and doesn't like what they've become.
Gillick, in a radio interview after last night's game, kept repeating how he still liked our ball club the way it is, but that he tried really hard to get a deal done. Well, trying really hard doesn't get you to the World Series, which the Mariners have yet to do, despite being "competitive" almost every year since 1995. Trying really hard doesn't inspire your veteran team or your skeptical fans.
Gillick maintains that his most important job is too keep the team "competitive" for years to come. The problem is this Mariner team is ready to win now. Yes, they are in first place. Yes, they are in an elite class of upper-echelon teams that has the potential to win the championship. But no, nobody believes they are going to win the World Series or even the League or Division series. And no one believes because everyone knows the Mariners aren't sexy and therefore aren't scary.
See, you have to be sexy in order to be scary. First, you get sexy by trading for Jose Guillen, hitting .337, with 23 home runs two days before the deadline. Then you get scary by adding him to a line-up that includes Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez and a pitching staff that now includes phenom, Rich Harden (2-0, 0.86 ERA in two starts) to go along with the Big Three of Mulder, Zito and Hudson. The A's have underachieved all year and they just received the shot in the arm needed to elevate their play.
The A's, White Sox, Red Sox, Twins, Giants, Diamondbacks, Dodgers and Yankees all made dynamic, interest-stimulating trades that put them in a better position come September.
The Mariners did nothing.
Apparently, the Mariners agreed to deal Freddy Garcia, Rett Johnson and 1.25 million in a three-way trade that involved the Red Sox and Reds. In exchange, the Mariners would get third baseman, Aaron Boone. Bret's younger brother would have provided a hard-nosed infielder with middle of the lineup power and RBI potential. Imagine a Boone to Boone to Olerud double play. Imagine back to back Boone bombs.
Now that is downright sexy.
Instead, the Yankees crashed the family reunion, essentially offering the Reds more money than the financially stingy, Mariners. They didn't really need a third baseman, but why not get a slight upgrade from Robin Ventura and, with the same iron fist, ruin their rival's deadline deal. Damn Yankees!
Besides Jeff Nelson (one of the only Mariners with a World Series ring), the players and Bob Melvin tried to be politically correct about the lack of a trade, but you could sense their disappointment.
As a fan, I would have loved to add Aaron Boone, but really, I would have settled for Tony Batista or Jeff Conine or even Aramis Ramirez. Anyone.
I just want to be excited about the Mariners and not so realistic. I want to believe in the Mariners. I want to fantasize about the possibility of winning a World Series. I want the Mariners to be sexy again, like they were in 1995 when they added Andy Benes and Vince Coleman. I want to be wooed. I want to be wined and dined. Right now, I feel like the Mariners have been building us up, just to buy us another happy meal at McDonalds.
Of Seattle, Oakland, Boston and New York, one team is going to be left out of the playoff picture. One team is going to be left scratching their heads, wondering when and why it all went wrong.
The Mariners already have the answers to both of those questions: July 31 and the inability of our front office to get any help.

he made a kill, so it is likely he will patrol the area as part of his overall territory.
The size and colouring allow sexing of sparrowhawks, the female is a more substantial looking bird.

Like others I cannot see any birds in the 1st picture but the others are of a nice male Sparrowhawk.
Hi odemwingie
Alas no photo otherwise I'd be delighted to assist.

I'd say that the top one was buddleia.
Thanks for your photos odemwingie
Thanks again for your photos odemwingie
Hi Odemwingie,
Lucky you! Granted my garden isn't very sizeable, but I've never been lucky enough to have any Sparrowhawks drop in :( Very nice photos as well
Kind Regards
Hi WW,
We have a regular sparrowhawk here. They don't make a kill with every try, so as we know, there is no general reduction in songbird numbers either in the garden or in the neighbourhood. Otherwise it'd be out of a "job" !
They might come in when you're not around!
Hi jackdaw,
You're probably right! Knowing my luck, they probably visit my garden when I'm out looking for them and other birds at nature reserves!

A Perk of Attending Aero India? Flying an F-16
By Saurabh Joshi
The Indian Air Force search for 126 fighter planes is coming to a head, with the defence minister saying India expects to complete the purchase in the next financial year, and there are signs that the six companies pushing their aircraft are beginning to pull out all the stops to try and nose their way ahead in the race.
Part of the courtship at the Aero India 2011 show involved aircraft manufacturers inviting industrialists, journalists and even Bollywood stars for flights on board their fighter jets.

Review: Foresight Linux - When nature calls!
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, testing Foresight has been quite a pleasure and I've learned
| some new things. If you hate to do things in a console, you should let
| Foresight update itself and not do it yourself, from the terminal. It
| contains useful software, such as the entire OpenOffice.org suite, two web
| browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Epiphany), Brasero for burning CD/DVDs, a
| powerful and sophisticated audio player/manager (Banshee). It also comes with
| a very beautiful theme, called Nimbus, and a nice collection of wallpapers.
| You should definitely give Foresight a try and, who knows, you may like it!
Foresight Linux: A Distribution That Stands Out From The Crowd
,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight Linux has entrusted its package management to Conary. A few of the
| cool features about Conary are:
| # Dependencies are defined at the file level, which brings in only the
| Â* components needed from other packages instead of entire packages.
| # During an update, Conary only installs the diff of the update, not the full
| Â* binary again which makes downloads and updates faster
| # If anything went wrong with an installation or update, you can rollback
| Â* your system to a previous state. If the command conary rollback 10 is
| Â* issued, Conary will undo the last 10 things it has done for you. Â*
| # When fresh installing an application, Conary downloads a binary package and
| Â* install it, process which takes a whole lot less than compiling and
| Â* installing from source code. When a new version of the application is
| Â* available, it just applies the diff. Â*

Foresight Linux 2.0 Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| With its lime green theme, the appearance of Foresight 2.0 Alpha 1 is

Foresight Linux 1.4 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight is really great for seeing the latest gnome; one can show off the
| bleeding edge desktop. Foresight also has a great out of box experience.
| Foresight is having a great theme and is quite user friendly. I would
| recommend it to every one, coming to me, asking for which Linux to start
| with. Â* Â*
Foresight Linux Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight Linux is a relatively new distribution based on rPath Linux and

| distro and why not, give you a reason to try it next time you go distro
| hopping! Â* Â*
Foresight LiveCD GNOME 2.17.92
,----[ Quote ]
| Today marks the release of GNOME 2.18.0, and to commemorate today's
| release we have posted some screenshots from the Foresight LiveCD
| 2.17.92 GNOME Release Candidate, which is designed to be a demo
| GNOME LiveCD. This is also Foresight's first attempt at creating
| a bootable CD image.
Foresight Linux (Review)
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm really impressed - as a long time Ubuntu user, this is the first
| distro that really makes me consider switching.
Review: Foresight Linux 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Installation of Foresight Linux was a snap. Under VMware Fusion
| Beta on my MacBook Pro and on my Athlon 64 x2 system with GeForce
| 7800GT the installation was flawless. The graphical installer
| popped up cleanly on both and easily walked me through the
| installation process with minimal questions.

State police: Man tries to sell AK-47, hand grenades
Troopers: Suspect told informant explosives were real
Published 11:09 AM EDT Mar 13, 2013
State police in Perry County said they have arrested a man for trying to sell an AK-47 and hand grenades from his home.
Leroy Keck, of Duncannon, guaranteed the explosives were real when asked by a confidential police informant and said he would not collect the money until the buyer blew up something with the grenades, state police said.
Troopers said it appears Keck's only motive was to sell the explosives.

Lapeer West hung on to a 33-26 halftime lead to defeat host Fenton 68-59 in boys basketball on Tuesday and improve to 8-0 (5-0 Genesee Red).
"It was a really exciting game," Lapeer West coach Chuck Mahoney said. "It was really hard fought on both sides.
"They made a couple of runs in the fourth quarter, and knocked it down fairly close, but we were able to make enough stops to hang on and pull out the win."
Matt Place led West with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Kerry Forgione added 17 points. Mark Cox and Hunter Sharrard each scored nine.
"We were able to execute offensively more efficiently than in our last few games," Mahoney said. "That allowed us to do a better job with our possessions.
"Defensively we had enough stops on them to maintain our lead in the second half. It was a combination of some good defense, good rebounding and doing a better job on offense."
Fenton junior Dillon Gardner was 5 of 6 from the free-throw line, earning 17 points, followed by Ross Ebert, 15 James Claborn, 12 and Austin Bossenberger, 9.
"Dillon was looking to shoot and taking the ball aggressively to the hole," Fenton coach Tim Oslewski said. "West has about 10 seniors on their team. As far as executing and communication – they don't have a lot of flaws in those areas."
West plays at Linden (1-7, 1-5) on Friday, while Fenton plays at Holly (7-1, 6-0) on Friday.
"It's going to be a really physical game," Oslewski said. "Taking care of the basketball and getting on the glass will be two huge factors. That will decide the game."

Seeking to mollify critics of New Orleans' unpopular network of traffic cameras, the Landrieu administration is unveiling a package of reforms today that aims to address some of motorists' most persistent complaints. The changes come as the administration prepares to activate cameras at 11 new locations.
Chief among the changes, the administration plans to boost the threshold for receiving a ticket by 4 mph, except during school hours, meaning a driver has to be going at least 10 mph over the speed limit to trigger the camera. Officials are also promising to target more aggressively the roughly one-third of ticket recipients who don't pay, to use a more scientific process for selecting locations for new cameras, and to make tickets easier to appeal.
City officials also plan to bump up by 10 mph the speed limit along Jackson Avenue between Magazine Street and St. Charles Avenue, where the city's second-busiest camera snared roughly 25,000 motorists last year. The camera accounted for about one-tenth of the camera-generated tickets issued by the city last year.
The new speed limit of 35 mph -- which was previously in place on the divided portion of Jackson before neighbors had it lowered -- will match that of most other divided streets in the city.
If the change is adopted by the City Council, motorists will have to be traveling 45 mph to get a ticket along that stretch of Jackson. Currently, tickets are issued at 31 mph or higher.
Almost all new cameras are in school zones
Other news out of City Hall may get a frostier reception from motorists.
On March 12, officials plan to activate 11 new cameras around town, almost all of them in school zones. They will be the first new cameras in more than a year, and Landrieu's chief administrative officer, Andy Kopplin, says there's a moratorium for now on adding any more.
The threshold for receiving a ticket during school hours in a school zone will remain 26 mph.
The new locations, once active, will increase the number of camera-monitored locations around the city to 50. Many of the new cameras have been in place for months.
As motorists become accustomed to their presence in a given intersection, cameras tend to generate less and less revenue. Figures supplied by the city show that speeding violations have declined by more than 90 percent at most locations where cameras were installed in 2008.
That, obviously, has an impact on the city budget, which counts on roughly $18 million in revenue from cameras this year.
The new threshold for speeding violations will decrease the number of tickets the city issues, though officials could not provide exact data on how precipitous the drop will be. But data collected in traffic studies for the 11 new cameras suggest that roughly two-thirds of speeders are going between 6 mph and 10 mph over the posted limit.
City says safety is main reason
Kopplin insists that the Landrieu administration doesn't view the 11 new cameras as a revenue source to replace what's being lost, adding that officials have not even attempted to estimate how much money the new cameras will generate. He said the new cameras are being installed for safety reasons at the request of the schools they're adjacent to, and the 2012 budget does not account for their impact.
That said, the city's contractor, ATS Traffic Solutions, has completed studies showing how many people speed at the new locations, which should give city officials a pretty good idea of how much money they can expect.
The busiest new location, according to those studies, will likely be the camera in front of McGehee School on the Uptown lane of Prytania Street. Roughly one-third of the 5,000-plus drivers who passed that location during the testing were driving at least 40 mph, which would earn a ticket under the city's new regime.
Other likely hot spots, according to the data, will be cameras around Coghill Elementary on Press Drive in Pontchartrain Park; at KIPP Believe on South Carrollton Avenue; and near Laurel Elementary on Jackson Avenue.
While Kopplin insists the new cameras are not being viewed as a budget-balancing tool, that hasn't always been the case at City Hall. During budget hearings in November 2009, when Ray Nagin was mayor, the city's economist, Jerome Lomba, emailed then-Public Works Director Robert Mendoza to find out how many cameras he could count on in the coming year.
Mendoza wrote back: "14 new cameras came on line last Monday (Nov. 6), but don't expect to see any revenue until January."
City says it's trying to be fair
Kopplin characterized the package of changes the city is announcing as ones designed to make the program fairer.
For instance, while almost two-thirds of the people who receive camera-generated tickets from the city pay their fines, the remaining one-third don't, creating resentment among the compliant payers. To date, the city's main enforcement effort has consisted of booting scofflaws' cars when their fines are considered delinquent. But city booting crews generally don't seek them out, and scofflaws' cars are booted only when a parking control officer comes across one.
Kopplin said that's about to change. The city will first send dunning letters, and then sue, to collect the debts of all non-payers who owe at least $500 in speeding fines, he said. That group, as of September, numbered at least 16,000.
The free ride enjoyed by city employees who rack up fines in city cars is also over, Kopplin said. In the future, city employees' tickets may be waived only when the employee is responding to an emergency, Kopplin said. Those who don't pay fines will face discipline.
Another common complaint of ticket recipients is that it's difficult to successfully appeal an alleged violation, in part because the tickets are treated as civil matters rather than criminal ones.
Traditional traffic infractions, such as speeding tickets issued by a uniformed officer based on evidence garnered with a radar gun, are treated criminally. That means that the motorist can question the officer about such things as whether the radar gun was properly calibrated.
With the camera-generated traffic tickets, the assumption of the hearing officer is that the equipment was working properly, leaving limited avenues for appeal.
Kopplin is proposing to allow motorists unsatisfied with their initial hearing to appeal to Traffic Court. Currently, they must appeal to Civil District Court, which means a filing fee of $476, far more than the value of a ticket. A Traffic Court appeal would be free, although the motorist could be assessed modest court costs if he is found guilty, Kopplin said.
That change will require legislative approval.
The City Council, meanwhile, would have to approve another change sought by the Landrieu administration: to normalize hours in school zones across the city. The new schedules would cover two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, in an effort to account for the wildly varying hours kept by the city's diverse menu of charter schools. Some motorists have complained that the posted school hours don't reflect when students are actually at school.
Responding to gripes that decisions about where to place cameras have been haphazard, Kopplin also laid out a new "comprehensive review process" for approving new locations. There is a hold, however, on approving any new cameras, he said.
The new process will involve a "technical review" and a recommendation from the Public Works director. But it remains unclear whether there is a benchmark -- such as a certain number of speeders caught during testing -- that will trigger an approval.
Lastly, Kopplin said that drivers who are issued multiple tickets from a single location before receiving notice of their first violation will be allowed to use that as justification for an appeal, as some other cities do.
Because of the lag time between violation and issuance of a ticket, which can be up to 60 days, some motorists have complained that they've racked up a dozen or more violations before realizing they did something wrong.
"Let me be clear, it is still a violation of the law to speed," Kopplin said. "It's not that folks shouldn't be slowing down. But when you're pulled over by an officer and given a ticket, you're given notice that you were speeding, and for most of us that changes our behavior."
With cameras, there's no such notice, Kopplin said, hence the change in policy.

Gifts to heirs and asset transfer strategies — grantor retained trusts and charitable lead trusts — are especially attractive this year because:
Charitable Gift Annuities provide fixed payments for life.
Contribute appreciated securities and real estate held long term. Claim an income tax charitable deduction for fair market value and avoid recognition of long-term gain.
Make a gift of securities, sell some securities, using the income tax charitable contribution deduction to offset gain.
Refer to Planned Gift Solutions at www.hamilton.edu/PlanningYourGift and/or call Ben Madonia '74 or Joni Chizzonite at 866-729-0317 to discuss tax-saving strategies.
Please advise the College if you have included Hamilton in your estate plan or completed a planned gift so you can be honored and recognized as a Joel Bristol Associate.

Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch proposed a plan to control state spending and alter the budget process Wednesday. Local reactions:
"It calls for borrowing, and borrowing is part of the problem that got us into the situation we are in now. I think we should make the necessary cuts. Postponing it by way of debt is the wrong way to go. ... I'm less concerned about the power of the Legislature than I am about ducking the hard issues."
— Sen. John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse.
"The reaction from our conference is favorable, a little cautious. It's a pretty big proposal, and I think it's the best idea that's come out so far. At least it gives us a fighting chance. ... (In terms of changing the start of the fiscal year to July 1), it helps as far as having a better grasp of revenue because April 15 is passed and we've gotten to see income tax returns. (But) schools would have to adjust to that, and that would probably be most difficult."
— Assemblyman Al Stirpe, D-North Syracuse.
"It doesn't make any sense for the state to have more debt, so you have to make sure the fiscal reforms can stick. In the absence of a constitutional amendment, I'm not sure how you do that."
— Blair Horner, of the New York Public Interest Research Group.


text: In responding to a previous letter to the editor, I must say that having spent many years in the classroom and as a school system administrator, I've had my share of frustrations also, and there were many times I would have done things differently. I started teaching in 1962, and over the years, was on the receiving end of the growing government bureaucracy's involvement in education. Often, I felt that this interference was getting in the way of my job of educating students.

Champion Steve Lundquist Laps Up Attention in and Out of the Pool
If that sounds like a fantasy, well, it is. A photographer's command, "Make sure his upper torso is exposed," snaps the sensual languor of the scene. Lundquist, the world record holder in the 100-meter breaststroke, and the nymphets are just doing their job as models on a three-day assignment in Hawaii for a new bronzer and fragrance for men. Lundquist, brush cut towhead, marine blue eyes and muscular body, has appeared in Playboy, Vanity Fair, L'Uomo Vogue and Interview magazines during the past year, sometimes earning as much as $2,000 a day. Photographer Bruce Weber has used the 6'2", 181-pound Lundquist for various projects because "Steve has great charm and photographs well," says Weber. "More than anything else, he has stature. When you look at him, you know he's a champion."
Lundquist's swimming rivals would surely agree. In addition to his individual world record, the Georgia-born-and-bred Lundquist shares (with three others) the world record in the 400-meter medley relay. He will be trying for berths in the 100-meter butterfly, 100-meter freestyle, 100-and 200-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter individual medley at this week's Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. (The trials will be televised at the end of June.) Even before the Communist bloc pullout, Lundquist expected most of his competition to come from his American teammates. Being realistic, his coach, Eddie Sinnott of Southern Methodist University, says, "Steve has a very good chance of winning two gold medals. If you've talked to him, you know he's trying for five."
An outstanding member of the 1980 squad, Lundquist would have retired had the U.S. not boycotted the Moscow Olympics. At 23, Lundquist admits he feels "old" for his sport, so to avoid burnout, he prescribes a steady diet of high-speed thrills. "I love to go out with my buddies," he confesses, and "laugh and do all the stuff I'm not supposed to do, like waterskiing or riding a motorcycle."
Nicknamed "Lunk" (as in Hunk), Lundquist had a serious motorcycle accident in 1981, followed two years later by a waterskiing fall that severely dislocated his shoulder. "Steve's abused his body," coach Sinnott has said. "He likes to have fun, but the injuries it's caused might go against him."
Since this is his last shot at the Olympics, there is increased pressure for Lundquist. "You train for six months," he relates, "1,200 meters a day, realizing that your coaches, parents and team are depending on you, not to mention the pressure of living up to predictions and expectations. You can have every record in the world, and for the Olympics it all comes down to one day, one swim, one turn, one stroke. The biggest danger is getting too psyched up."
Lundquist grew up outside Jonesboro, Ga., "a sit-back-and-relax kind of place." The son of a well-off manufacturer's consultant, Steve was waterskiing and swimming as soon as he knew how to walk. At 12, four years after he first tasted chlorine at a local swim club, Lundquist was breaking national records in both the butterfly and breaststroke. An international competitor by high school, Lundquist attended SMU and will graduate from there with a business degree next year.
At present he trains in Austin, Texas, where he shares a house—and sloppy-joe meals—with three swimmers and a bartender. Putting in double shifts, he swims from 6:30 to 8 a.m. and again from 3 to 5 p.m., with weight training twice a week. After the Olympics he plans to enter Texas real estate, announcing firmly, "My goal is to be successful at whatever I do."
And that includes modeling, although it could prove a tough profession for this red-blooded American boy. Gazing at the bare-breasted models on the rumpled bed in Hawaii, Lundquist exclaims, "Jiminy Christmas! I'm turning real red. I can't handle this," he says. "This is pretty wild." Nice work, though, if you can get it.

So my husband is a health nut. He loves reading about health foods and ideas in his spare time, and he first got me hooked on the Primal Blueprint concept. While I wasn't too excited about the idea of giving up pastries, bread, oatmeal, and sugar, I had known for quite some time that excessive amounts of carbohydrates threw me into a "carb coma" which left me foggy and useless for a half-hour or so. I'm thrilled about a lifestyle that could eliminate my constant sugar and carb cravings, make me alert in the afternoons, and give me enough energy to make it through my 12- to 14-hour days! I have decided to go Primal for Lent this year, which I see as a wonderful way to jump-start my new Primal lifestyle. My husband still isn't convinced about giving up whole grains, and as his body does not react as strongly to carbohydrates as mine, he isn't totally convinced that the Primal Blueprint lifestyle will be as necessary for him.
That being said, I would love a little exercise advice. I have NEVER been involved in sports or exercised consistently in any way, and I am somewhat at a loss as to where to start. I love to walk, and I have found about 45 minutes in each day that I could devote to walking/exercise, with the following conditions: I am a piano teacher and spend much of my day at a Catholic Elementary school. I don't have enough money for a gym membership, and most exercise that I do must either be done outside (when the IA weather permits) or in the school music room. What types of exercises (particularly strengthening exercises) could I do?
B: 1 breakfast sausage patty, 1 1/2 eggs (my husband had the other half), several pieces raw cucumber
S: green tea
L: iceberg lettuce salad (school salad) with hard-boiled eggs, green pepper, cucumber, and ranch dressing
D: church soup supper (I hope to find something suitable...)
I'm happy to be a new part of the PB community!
Look up the Primal Blueprint Fitness e-book. Be sure to move everyday. A daily walk will be great. PBF also includes planks (and side planks), push-ups, pull-ups, squats and sprinting. Those workouts only need to be done maybe twice a week (and you could use monkeybars or a tree branch for pull-ups), sprints once every 7-10 days. And if you aren't up to full pull-ups or push-ups or squats, the book has "progressions" to help you get to that point. I am still using progressions for push-ups and pull-ups. And I am nowhere near the full time on my planks, but it takes time. It isn't hard. Do this with the Primal eating and you'll have energy for days! I was super surprised at how much more energy I have. I didn't believe it was true. It is so true!
I NEED Sunshine! And a beach would be nice too!

I recently bought a 32" Vizio HDTV from our local walmart. The thing looks amazing! I paid under $600 for it normal price.
Whatever you end up getting, please calibrate the picture settings properly. None of this full brightness nonsense . Either a calibration disc like Avia or some recommended settings from CNET work just fine. There's a professional calibration service too, but it's a bit of an overkill for your case.
LCD all the way
a lot of people really don't know their stuff OP, please don't just go by these opinions.. research yourself a bit more. Ofcourse, if you have the interest the best place for these is http://avsforum.com there's enormous information there.
firstly, Burn-in is no longer an issue with Plasmas. There's minimal effect, and if there is, it's perhaps over several years before which you'll junk the TV for a new one. But there's no way you're going to get a good plasma for 600 bucks!! You'll have to go over 1000 bucks.
For medium (32inch or less) there are LCDs available these days which might be good bets.
If you want 50inch+ excellent values can be had in rear-projection sets like DLP or LCD projection HDTVs. These have pictures every bit as good as "direct view" LCDs and plasmas but are much cheaper because it's cheaper to manufacture them. One disadvantage is that since the screen is a sheet of plastic if you throw things at it it will break lot easier than a direct LCD or plasma monitor. But otherwise, around 700-1200 bucks you'll get fantastic 50-60 inch monitor and DVDs/TV or games will be fantastic.
I've been reading several avs posts and some articles that the DLP bulbs have a much shorter lifespan than advertised. Something like replacing them every 1.5-2 yrs instead of 2-3x that. Just a FYI to look into it if you go DLP .
I got a 32-inch Olevia LCD from Circuit City for $649. Before that I had a 27-inch. Amazing TV for the price and it has high marks from consumer reports. Unless you plan on dropping over 1k, dont pay for a samsung or sony. You can get a much larger olevia/ westinghouse/ vizio for the same price as a 26 inch samsung/ sony/ sharp.
just dont be a sucker and buy the extended warranty. you get a 1-year manufacturers warranty from those companies and if a TV is going to be broken it will be DOA or will break in the first 30 days.
You can check out like a bestbuy, circuitcity or frys website to find all great kinds of good tvs you wanna check out as well and even on the newspaper ads too... make sure you get like a LCD HDTV or something.

|The Alt-Bluegrass Show
8:30 pm Saturday, February 16, 2013
Cafe du Nord
2170 Market Street
San Francisco, CA map
|Featuring: The F**king Buckaroos, Big Jugs, Supermule, Poor Mans Poison
|The F**king Buckaroos formed in 2004 in San Francisco and play what they call Punk Rock Americana. Both their originals and their interpretations of country/folk/bluegrass standards, are often riotous, profane and filled with trouble, toil and bloodshed; but they also reflect a deep sense of compassion, hilarity and a demand for social justice. The Buckaroos will make you want to fight, fornicate, laugh and cry, all at the same time.
|Big Jugs (Santa Barbara) are controversial, semi-offensive, but always humorous and not afraid to say it: They love big jugs. The boys of Big Jugs love a number of other things, too, but due to strict codes of ethics, those things cant be listed here. Nevertheless, their special brand of alt-bluegrass ain't no novelty act, it's honest-to-goodness
|SUPERMULE (San Francisco) is a strange breed. A collective of the finest pickers and singers the Bay Area has to offer, culled from a wide range of musical scenes, from bluegrass to jazz to classical to funk. The band uses the forms and melodies of American roots music to explore common ground and celebrate diverse musical backgrounds. The result is a refreshing bluegrass ruckus- ancient tones merging with the moxy of jazz and bravado of rock n roll. The band is; Jim Chayka (banjo), Rich Armstrong (trumpet), Alisa Rose (fiddle), Yoseff Tucker (guitar), Zach Sharpe
(bass), Michael Carroll (drums).

Biscoff Twix Popcorn
Not too long ago, I posted a recipe for Peanut Butter Snickers Popcorn. A friend of mine mentioned her peanut allergy and said, "darn. Can't eat it!"
For a moment, I was baffled.
Not because of the peanut allergy. But because I genuinely failed to see the problem– about 900 substitutions for the peanut butter and snickers had already run through my mind!
Obviously the phrase "I can't eat that" is not in my vocabulary.
So here we are. The first of 900 alternate recipes to that Peanut Butter Snickers Popcorn… 899 to go!
The Biscoff (or Speculoos Cookie Butter, whichever) and the Twix harmonize in a beautifully delicious way. This definitely ranks as one of my favorite popcorn recipes to date!!! And I've been around the block a few times with the popcorn bowl, so when I dub a popcorn recipe as a "favorite" you can rest assured that it's awesome.
Have I mentioned that I wrote a book called Party Popcorn!?? Look for it in December 2014!
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 2 cups white melting candy discs (like Wiltons)
- 3 Tbsp. Biscoff or Cookie Butter
- 1 cup chopped Twix bars
- optional: 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Place the popcorn in a large bowl, be sure to remove all the unpopped kernels as you do.
- Melt the white melting candy according to the directions on the package.
- Whisk the Biscoff into the melted white candy until smooth. Pour the candy coating over the popcorn.
- Add the chopped Twix before stirring. Gently stir with a large rubber spatula to coat the popcorn and candy bars completely.
- Spread popcorn on a large piece of parchment, foil, or a silicone liner to let candy coating cool and harden (approximately 20 minutes). Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- optional: melt semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting candy (for speedier hardening) and drizzle over the popcorn.
Don't miss a bite!

PS – can not wait for your book :)
This looks amazing, I love popcorn and Twix! I will be making this doe sure this weekend as we watch the Super Bowl! :)
Where do you find biscoff spread? I have looked dozens of times in the peanut butter section of walmart and grocery stores, and even the cookie section, but I have never seen it.
Oh my yumm! This looks delicious!
>>>store in an airtight container for up to 1 week<<<<– ROFL yeah sure, it will be gone in minutes! Looks amazing!

The rash of injuries on the offensive line, specifically at center, is not what the Owls needed entering the season.
This is the least experienced group on the team as it is and already three centers have gone down. On the bright side, it could have been three starters – and not three centers – limping around The Ox.

In a November 18, 2009 Presidential Statement, your government suggested that the EU pre-judge negotiations on Jerusalem by declaring: "If there is to be genuine peace, a way must be found to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of two states." We understand that the proposed new policy, which also calls for a halt to natural growth of Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, will be presented for adoption by the European Union on December 7.
This initiative is out of step with the recent serious concessions made by Israel to help create an environment for the resumption of direct negotiations and the ongoing efforts of Senator Mitchell to help the parties restart those negotiations. For years, EU stated policy has been that 'all issues surrounding the status of Jerusalem' should be negotiated. Now your government wants the European Union to pre-judge those negotiations, making the re-division of Jerusalem a condition for peace.
Peace will be the product of negotiations, not of external pressure and diktats from third parties. The abovementioned proposal is a misguided step toward an imposed solution, a dangerous policy that can only end in failure and disappointment. If the European Union adopts this position on Jerusalem, we believe it will no longer be able to play any role in the peace process.
We believe it is important to recall the historical differences between a united and a divided Jerusalem.
The only time Jerusalem was divided was between 1948-1967 when armistice lines drawn between the army of the newly declared State of Israel and invading Arab armies divided Jerusalem into two sectors, with Jordan occupying and annexing the eastern sector, including the Old City, and Israel retaining the western and southern parts of the city. Barbed wire divided the sides. In violation of the Armistice Agreement, Jordanians denied Jews access to and the right to worship at their holy sites, including the Western Wall. The 58 synagogues in the Jewish Quarter were systematically destroyed and vandalized and Jewish cemeteries were desecrated.
Jerusalem was reunited under Israeli sovereignty as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Israel immediately passed the "Protection of Holy Places Law," which guarantees the sanctity of all holy sites and makes it a punishable offense to desecrate or deny freedom of access to them. Under Israeli rule, Christians and Muslims have always administered their own holy places and institutions and have had access to Israel's democratic court system in order to present any claim of violation of these rights.
Palestinian leaders insist that all of East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, be the capital of an independent Palestinian state. Successive Israeli governments—on the left and on the right—have reaffirmed that Jerusalem will remain the undivided capital of the State of Israel. However, Israeli governments have also expressed support for seeking creative proposals for the future of Jerusalem in the context of a comprehensive peace agreement with the Palestinians. The European Union can contribute by encouraging the Palestinians to accept the Israeli offer to begin such negotiations immediately and without pre-conditions, not by pre-judging their result.

TAMPA, Fla. — Yankees catcher Brian McCann stood in the hallway outside the home clubhouse at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Then he shook his head a little and shrugged.
"I got nothing," McCann said.
McCann had just heard that Pirates backstop Russell Martin had told the New York Post that the Yankees' offseason signing of McCann to a five-year, $85-million deal was an "expensive mistake."
McCann declined further comment before lightly jogging toward the trainer's room hours prior to the Yankees' home matchup with the Red Sox.
A day before, Martin told the Post's Dan Martin that the Yankees should have saved their money and re-signed him instead. The 31-year-old catcher spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons with the Yankees, but went to Pittsburgh for a two-year, $17-million contract the Yankees didn't want to match.
Which was a bad idea, according to Martin, a light-hitting defensive catcher throughout his career. Over the past two seasons, McCann hit 40 home runs and drove in 124 runs. Martin hit 36 homers and had 108 RBI.
"It becomes an expensive mistake, no question," Martin said, according to the paper. "They can't turn back the clock. They went and got a good guy who, offensively, puts up better numbers than I have and so costs a lot of money. I love McCann. They got a good one."

American Express Small Business Saturday 2011
Small Business Saturday, the easiest way to "make" $25, is back for it's second year. Smack in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday was American Express's promotion in which you could get a $25 statement credit if you spent at least that much at a "small business" that day. There are various other business focused promotions associated with it, like $100 in free Facebook ads, but for consumers, the $25 is one of the easiest ways to benefit from having an American Express card.
To take advantage, you'll need to register at the Small Business Saturday website once registration opens on November 1st. Last year, the promotion was limited to the first 100,000 to pre-register their card so you'll want to act quickly. I'll try to get a reminder out before the 1st.
