I recently discovered that my pants stay up better with a narrower belt than a wider one. It must be the lycra stretching out because otherwise I have plenty to hold my jeans. The downside to using a narrow belt is that I usually create more of a muffin top.

I think rice is probably the least innocous. Quinoa has saponins which can punch holes in the gut (per Robb Wolf, anyway).

Heather and the hounds - Make a Fast Friend, Adopt a Greyhound!
White rice, though tubers would be better.
Definitely not quinoa -- especially if you follow Robb Wolf. Plus, I think it smells weird.
White rice is the recommended version for Primal (tho it is not primal -- if Grok saw rice it would not have been polished!)
But, the bran has anti-nutrients and white rice is a pretty innocuous starch. Still, I'd rather have sweet potato or maybe some jicama for crunch.
Life is an ongoing Experiment of One, so here's to science!
My Primal Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread37576.html
half cup of oats, and low fat wheat toast, with low fat butter works best for me....
I do a lot of sweet potatoes, which are my preferred carb, and white rice about once a week--I usually get all-you-can-eat sushi after my Friday workout.
Working for me as refeed food so far.
Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.

Can someone expand on robb wolfs opinion of quinoa? its not immeadiately findable on google search thanks
No more diets. No more stress. Health made easy. Living made incredible.
go Organic Hulled Barley instead of rice if you have to.

Would like to be in good shape by my 36th Birthday (07-07-2013)
I eat sprouted brown rice and sprouted quinoa all the time. If you haven't been eating starches or grains, your body might take a week or two to properly adjust. I digest them both perfectly now. If you're not sprouting them, however, you'd be better off choosing white rice.

Skip to comments.FR Exclusive: Al Qaeda Takes Responsibility For The Terrorist Attempt On The Plane In Detroit (Updat
Posted on 12/28/2009 11:05:26 AM PST by jveritas
click here to read article
Is it in arabic? Do you have a link?
Let's not jump to conclusions here. Have we checked any Amish websites?
What do you mean "adopted the attempt?"
Excellent work, jveritas! Thank you for staying on top of these things.
I fully expect the MSM to run with this...
Nah, who am I kidding?
I'm wondering if it means "claimed responsibility"?
Claimed responsibility.
Take credit.
I mean they took responsibility for the terrorist attempt on the plane.
I think it means "Claimed Ownership" in the jihadi context.
Thank you! Great work as always.
Thank you, FRiend!
Thank you for changing the title :)
You're good. But the AP is nipping at your heels. Fox News is repeating an AP report that just broke based on the same al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claim.
Color me amazed. Not!
Thank you for keeping us informed. You do good work
Sorry tho' I think you are giving MSM too much credit. This won't gget covered by MSM today.
MSM still hasn't reported the Indian man who helped the Nigerian get on the plane with no passport
I called it this morning. I said on another thread "I'd like to see obama teleprompt his way out of this. If zero's in hiding now, wait until the Zawahiri video comes out."
They are such amateurs for not anticipating this when Janet gave her statement yesterday saying there was no broader involvement by AQ. Zero probably found this out and that's why we haven't seen his taped remarks yet.
Fox News Alert has it now.
Just in time for Obama's taped speech.
CNN just broke it.
What, does AQ want a cookie because they sent a bumbling jihadi to light a seat on fire? I remember when people used to own up to their failings. Now they put out press releases to claim credit for them.
Interesting jveritas- AP just reported what your story says :)
FR is always, always ahead of the story- we have members all over the world who keep us in the loop.
Thank you.
Did we beat AP on who posted it first? :)
Yes- you beat AP!
Let's not jump to conclusions. It was "Christmas depression". He was a "lone nut". Prematurely celebrating New Year's with fireworks...
I'll bet you did. Tip of the hat to ya! :)
Thanks jveritas.
Good work as always. BTTT.
YOU were first!
You bested ALL news outlets!
He's smiling like he's going to Disney Land.
Thank you.
Good work. I'm not sure what makes it an FR exclusive. I've been hearing this on Fox for maybe a half hour or so.
I posted it before any other media. They talked about it few minutes after it was posted here on FR.
Any newsperson worth a dang will monitor FR for real news.
It's gotten to the point where I tell my husband, "Turn on the TV. I just found out on FR that such and such is happening."
CAIROAl-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the attempted attack on a U.S. airliner on Christmas day, saying it was retaliation for a U.S. operation against the group in Yemen.
In a statement posted on the Internet, the group said 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab coordinated with members of the group.
Yemeni forces, helped by U.S. intelligence, carried out two airstrikes against al-Qaida operatives in the country this month. The second one was a day before the attempted bombing of the plane.
In related events, the White House says President Barack Obama is preparing to make his first public statement on the Christmas Day terrorist attack and describe U.S. efforts to protect the nation's skies. The president's statement is expected at 1 pm MST.
LOL...my fiance and I are moving into the new house and she was lamenting that we don't have cable/direct tv yet. I told her "Well, we have internet and FreeRepublic", and she replied, "Oh yeah, and alot more timely and reliable than anything we can find from the MSM".
That's why I'm marrying her;)
...Freeper wedding 01 May 10
Just listening to radio news reporting on this right now.
Great job of staying on top of it.
Are you doing the translations yourself? If so, then kudos for investing your time so that we all may benefit.
Has Al-Qaeda ever claimed credit for a FAILED operation before?
(Thanks for posting this)
I know that FailBarry is relieved.....he nor Napolitano have to admit their claim to blame.

Crumble Topping
I want a crumble topping with no oats
Q&A's? We are here to help. We being Delia and Lindsey. We work closely together and can answer any queries you have relating to Delia's recipes and our online Cookery School. Why not ask a question right now? What we can't do though, is answer questions about other recipes. (For general website queries or technical questions please click here)
I want a crumble topping with no oats
I cooked the cake of the week, pear and almond, and it was just over cooked in the 45 minutes. I think maybe I only needed 30 minutes. Have you had any other comments like that. I have checked and double checked and can't see that I did anything different to the recipe.
Hi Lindsey,
I am on a low sugar diet and I'm wondering if I can half the amount of sugar in Delia's Classic Christmas cake recipe without it affecting the texture of the cake too much? Or at least lessen it somehow? I trust the treacle and dried fruit will aid the sweetness. if I do add less sugar, should I lessen the amount of butter also?
What is the substitute for lard?
Thank you
What temperature should a loaf be inside when cooked? (using probe thermometer)
Once I have made my Christmas pudding, can I reheat it in the microwave on the day rather than steaming ?

"UCL has a great library as well as a fantastic location to access the Institute of Classical Studies, the British Library and British Museum, and art galleries, museums and theatres that are hosting the latest classical performances or exhibitions."
Professor Maria Wyke
Professor of Latin
"UCL is determined to ensure its academic research also has a positive, public impact. In my department, there were plenty of opportunities to teach Latin and Greek in schools, to volunteer with classics charities, and to offer opinions on the programme and the running of the department. It was through these types of activities that I was introduced to my employers. Study at UCL offers the opportunity to meet other like-minded people, and this certainly aided my career progression."
Xavier Murray-PollockClassics MA (2014)
"It was during my time at UCL that I developed my interest in world cultures, and in particular Persian/Iranian culture and language, which then led to my PhD research and academic career."

"The obvious goal, at least for a freshman, is to play, but if that doesn't happen, you know, I understand," he explains. "It is just so different. If I don't play I would just like to get bigger, stronger and faster. That way I can contribute as soon as I can."
Trott, who moved up to Auburn from Montgomery in early June, has been getting acclimated to life on his own, college classes and learning to manage his time wisely throughout the summer semester, and the 6-5, 226-pounder says it has certainly been different.
"It is an adjustment," he explains about college life. "Obviously, the classes are bigger, that type of stuff and you are own your own. We just moved into our apartment today, and I was excited about that. I have been at Sewell all summer long and nothing against Sewell, but it is a big difference."
Trott is shown during a summer pass receiving drill during an evening voluntary workout.
Along with learning all of those skills, Trott, along with all of the other freshmen who were in Auburn for the summer, has also had to learn how to deal with a college level strength and conditioning program.
"We have been working," he says about Coach Kevin Yoxall's voluntary summer strength and conditioning workouts. "We have definitely been working. I feel better. I don't know if I look any better, but I feel better and I am definitely in better shape."
The tight end adds that despite its ,Yoxall's training regiment is one that he really likes. "We have gotten into a rhythm of it and it's definitely something that when you look at what you are doing you are saying, 'this is going to pay off.'"
Tommy Trott
If all of that wasn't enough to keep any freshman busy during his first semester of college, Trott, like all of the other incoming freshmen, has also been working hard to learn a whole new playbook. However, he notes that just being able to get out onto the field this summer with his new teammates during the pass-skeleton sessions have been a major help in that department.
"Pass-skel has helped us so much just learning the offense, and even before the actual pass-skel we go through a little run through where we go over our blocking assignments," Trott notes. "I mean, you can look at it on paper and on tape all day, but getting out there and doing it is so much different. You learn so much from doing that."
He also explains that his fellow tight ends have played an even bigger role in his development throughout the summer by stepping up and pointing himself, Gabe McKenzie and Andrew McCain in the right direction.
"It helps a lot and they have all been great, especially the tight ends," he says about getting the chance to work with his teammates before practice even starts. "Cooper (Wallace), Cole (Bennett) and Danny (Perry), those guys they have helped me out so much. We get confused out there a lot and they have coached us, they really have. They have coached us a lot this summer and they have been teaching us."

Ex-head master's home turns refuge for love-struck Damini
By T S Sekaran - CHENNAI

For cupid-struck Damini (20), daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Cheran, her former school head master's home is the new refuge.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday granted custody of the girl, who wanted to go with her lover Chandru, to the Head Master and Correspondent of Shri Shrine Velankannai Higher Secondary School in T Nagar. A Division Bench comprising justices V Dhanapalan and C T Selvam, hearing a habeas corpus petition, passed the order taking into consideration her safety until further orders.
On Monday, Damini remained firm in going to the house of her lover Chandru, leaving her parents in tears in the open court.
She had been shifted to noted advocate N G R Prasad's residence for a day on the Court's directive on Monday.
Considering the condition prevailing at Damini's parental home as also at the house of her 'would be' mother-in-law Easwari Ammal, who filed the HCP, the Bench said it would be appropriate to send Damini to a safe place.
As such, it entrusted Damini's custody with B K K Pillai, HM and Correspondent of Shri Shrine Velankani Higher Secondary School, until further orders. The case was adjourned to August 21, when all parties, including Damini, should be present before the Court.
Earlier, the judges talked with Damini for long hours. Thereafter, they enquired with the petitioner, assisted by her daughter, and then Cheran.
In their brief order in the evening, the Bench observed that all of them explained the background leading to the present situation and expressed that Damini's well-being was their prime concern. They also stated the best efforts taken by them for that.
"At this stage, we are more concerned about the safety and protection of the parties as they are prominent personalities in their respective fields. It is more important that certain forces should not play some role in the given situation.
"Ultimately, they have come out with a suggestion that in order to ease out the situation, considering the family condition prevailing in Damini's house as also at the petitioner's place, it would be appropriate to ask her to stay at a place which would be conducive and provide a congenial atmosphere which will be more beneficial for safety and protection of the girl...," the bench said and gave the direction.

and see what they charge per hour, or quarter hour, to fix an inside phone line.
I will bet it will be very expensive. I have no idea why an inside line would fail unless it was improperly installed to begin with.
The CLECs have no techs, so SBC gets to supply techs to fix the lines. At 40 bucks fr the first ten mins...I'd say SBCis making lottz of $$ supplying techs...wonder why those $$s do not funnel down to SBCs earnings statements?
Obviously you dont know your facts.Number one Its around $85 for the first half hour and about $20 for every 15 minutes .The number one reason they go bad is age ....get over it .I bet all your parts are not all working anymore.Number two it cost sbc over 50 dollars just to roll a truck to a house not to include the time spent at the house.And sbc only charges 30 bucks to prove the trouble inside.It doesent take a rocket scientist to figure the loss einstein.Get you facts straight.
But 85 bucks half hour = 170 per hour.
SBC loses money on that? Does that figure include an allocation of SBCs management costs?
Belive me, my 12 year old canwire phones
>>I have no idea why an inside line would fail unless it was improperly installed to begin with.<<
I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I ripped a line out moving my desk to the other room. I didn't know it was broken until about 6 months later when I moved my phone back. An SBC tech fixed it. These guys can trace a broken line and repair it very quickly. They've got all the tools, training and experience.
You ripped out the line
Q? WHen did it stop working
A! after I moved my desk
Q?Was your phone on your desk
A! Yes
So the line failed by causes created by you. How many lines failed inside your studwalls? Did the wiring, beyond what you yourself damaged, fail? How much did SBC charge you to fix?
My 12 year old can trace a line like that easy.
Most probaly you damaged the wall jack. A 79 cent fix.
After SBC got done with it ...cost the shareholders bundles of bucks.
Nice try SBC Tech...
That makes no sence
Why don't you get another company to do the work.. You don't have to get those overpaid, SBC repairmen!! I think that there are many other people who can fix you up...
I am an instructor for plant schools in the LA area. I have read all of these postings regarding SBC, and I must say that there are no factual figures or prices being posted. I read something that said we charged $85 for a half an hour of work. This is not true. We charge $45 for the first 15 mins. and $16 for every 15 mins. after that. A normal service tech. costs the company $154.00 an hour for thier loaded rate. You do the math.
I love this company for what it has given me and my family, and I love my fellow co-workers. It is horrible to read peoples postings of how the hate the company. I quote a new employee I had in one of my repair classes, "A lot of people are complaining, but no one is quiting!"
You should call the FCC, and Judge Greene, and ask them why deregulation? We used to fix the wiring for free, but the powers that be decided that the consumers really wanted a "choice" to pay whomever. By the way, the biggest opponent of the Bell Sysytem before the breakup, and the loudest voice against the Bell Sysytem was non other than MCI/Worldcom. We see how well they did, collecting their money from the customers, and not paying for the "pipe" during reorganization.
I also remember competitors who's yellow page advertisments were bungled by either being left out entirely or having the wrong number. Oops, it was an accident!
Do you know how stupid you are??? Call a plumer, an electrician, the maytag repairman, and ask them why they charge what they do.. Inside lines do not "fail"..People damage them.. They spill drinks on/in the plugs, let their kids play with them, try to use the wiring for speakers.. Ignorant people like you have NO CLUE what it costs to send a truck and repairman, both of which are insured, tools, training, support people,,,,, you know, the people who answer the phone, and listen to fols like you!!!
"wonder why those $$ don't filter down to earnings"Dude you know nothing about the phone biz!!! The reason is the clecs don't pay their bills.ie Worldcon declared bk owing millions.You notice they are still pedelling their garbage(as MCI) and still not paying there bills.A dumbass like you are probably thinking "why doesn;t SBC just cut them off.You ever here of a thing called "the law".Legaly service can not be denied to a clec.I think the real question should be why so mant clecs go bk when in effect their mark up(proffit margins) are infinate.

The Curlique Anemone Bartholomea annulata is one of the several interesting variations of anemones that are easy to care for and reproduce quickly in the Aiptasiidae family. They are brown or tan and have very long thin ringed or spotted tentacles that can extend far from the base. Though similar in appearance to the Aiptasia genus of Glass Anemones, which are also in this family, the Curly-Cue is a much larger anemone.
A number of scientific studies have determined that both these anemones and the Glass Anemones have strong stings and don't "play nice" with other corals and fish. They use venomous cells, nematocysts found in their tentacles, to sting and kill and eat fish and shrimp. Of the two, the small Aiptasia glass anemones don't have a very good reputation. They are very hard to get rid of and have been known to take over a reef aquarium by quickly reproducing while stinging and killing other tank invertebrates. The Curlique or Corkscrew Anemone, being quite a bit larger and easier to control, doesn't have the same bad reputation.
With cute names like "Curley-Cue Anemone" or "Curly Q Anemone", hobbyists are encouraged to purchase this anemone. It is quite cool looking and inexpensive, but there are a couple cautions to keep in mind. The Curlique Anemone is an aggressive anemone. It can kill and eat fish as well as other anemones. Though not suitable clownfish hosts, this is a safe ornamental anemone for most reef tanks. Just keep in mind these anemones will sting everything they can reach. Fortunately they usually stay in one place and don't move around much. This can be a great anemone for reef tanks if you are careful with their placement, and keep other invertebrates out of their reach.
Curlique Anemone, Bartholomea annulata

Close up and personal
Related to the Aiptasia or Glass Anemone, the Curlique Anemone is also a quick draw into it's crack or crevice when disturbed. Unlike the pest anemone, it will not multiply as fast. They will also stay put if they have proper light, food and water movement that is not strong as this will prevent it from opening fully. They are not clown hosting anemones, but have a beauty all their own. Provide a tank that is at least 50 gallons and feed them what you would feed any anemone and feed several times a week. This anemone will split and form clones.
Habitat: Distribution / Background
Sea Anemone Facts: The Bartholomea genus was described by Lesieur in 1817. The Bartholomea genus belongs to the Aiptasiidae family, and this genus contains 4 species. This species, Bartholomea annulata, is most commonly know as Curlique Anemone, Curly-Cue Anemone, Ringed Anemone, and Corkscrew Anemone. However there are quite a number of other very similar name spellings, and a few other descriptive names you may see it called by as well. These include the Curleycue Anemone, Curlicue anemone, Curly Q Anemone, Curlycue Anemone, Curly Sea Anemone, Trumpet Anemone, and Rock Anemone. This anemone is not on the IUCN Red List for endangered species.
Where are Sea Anemones Found: The Bartholomea Anemones are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean in the Caribbean from Bermuda to South America.
Sea Anemone Habitat: In their natural habitat, these anemones are found alone in lagoons and bays that are sandy/muddy with their foot completely buried within the sand on top of a solid surface, and among Halimeda populations. They also are found under rock ledges as well. Found at depths from 3 to 130 feet (1-40 m), they await an unsuspecting fish or crustacean to invite to dinner.
Sea Anemone Species: General common names Bartholomea anemones are known by are Ringed Anemone, Curleycue Anemone, Aiptasia Anemone, and Pest Anemone. Common names of other well known Bartholomea species include:
Appearance of a Sea Anemone: The Curly-Cue Anemones have a pedal column and a sticky foot that they use to adhere to rock and other surfaces. They also use this "foot" to move around if conditions are not ideal. The tentacles are on the outer margin of the oral disc, with the mouth being in the center. They can be 8-11" (20-30 cm) in diameter, yet the 200 tentacles can stretch way beyond the base. Quick as a whip, the Corkscrew Anemone will rapidly retract its tentacles and become a very small ball. It will retract into its hole or crevice if it feels threatened.
The color of the Curlique Anemone or Ringed Anemone is brown or tan, due to an algae called zooxanthellae living in its tissue. The tentacles are brown to brownish violet and tend to be translucent. With corkscrew markings or spotting on the tentacles, the anemone appears "fuzzy" or "curly," which is one of its most endearing qualities.
Sea Anemones Life Cycles: It is unknown how long they live, in fact some anemones can be hundreds of years old in the wild, and in captivity have been known to last 80 years or more. That doesn't count all the clones they will make as the years progress.
Sea Anemone Care: The Curly-Cue Anemone or Corkscrew Anemone can be moderate in difficulty to care for. They do have good lighting needs and will do fine in most reef conditions. Putting an anemone in a new tank will result in failure. The tank should be at least 4 months old and stable before adding your new Bartholomea anemone.
When choosing your anemone, make sure the color is good, their mouth is not gaping open, and their foot and tentacles are sticky to the touch. Using a very thin blunt item like a credit card, wiggle it under the foot and slowly nudge it away to get the anemone off the glass. On a rock, well, you will never get it off and you would need to purchase the rock as well.
What Do Sea Anemones Eat: The Curlique Anemone is a carnivore. In the wild they eat fish, mussels and small crustaceans. In captivity you can feed your anemone chopped silversides, shrimp, krill, and mussels, fresh chopped fish (from your grocery store), as well as frozen carnivore preparations. They need to be fed 2 to 4 times a week.
Water changes of 10% bi-monthly or 20% a month are typical, yet the more nutrients you have the happier it will be. One average sized Curlique Anemone (6" to 8") is equal to 3 or 4 fish as far as waste production is concerned. Purigen and Poly-fiber are great products to help in maintaining water quality. Purigen is a synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at an exceptionally high rate and capacity, helping to control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Additions of Iodine and and trace elements are suggested.
The typical reef environment is what is needed for your anemone. They need live rock or some other solid material they can attach to. Provide some rock crevices as well as rocky overhangs as they do best living in areas where they can pull back and be hidden when they feel threatened. Be sure to have all of your pumps covered. Most good quality pumps have guards on them and are worth the investment.
The Curlique Anemone is an aggressive anemone that can kill and eat fish, as well as other anemones. They do well in an environment that is specifically designed for their needs. After splitting, anemones will tolerate their own "clones" and sometimes their own species. In the wild they are often a host to a variety of commensal shrimp
Be very careful when keeping this anemone with any other anemones, corals, or fish. They are not suitable clown fish hosts and clownfish can be eaten, as can any other fish that happens by and gets caught. This is a safe ornamental anemone for most reef tanks. Just keep in mind these anemones will sting everything they can reach, including corals and other invertebrates. Fortunately they usually stay in one place and don't move around much. This can be a great anemone for reef tanks if you are careful with their placement, and keep other invertebrates out of their reach.
No sexual difference in appearance is known.
Anemones in general can multiply by sexual and asexual means. One way is using fission, which is when they actually split in half from the foot or mouth to form a clone, although the clone is its own animal, similar to twins. They will also reproduce using male and female sex glands or find another anemone of the opposite sex. This results in the production of ciliated planula larvae. This planula will eventually fall to the sea floor, develop a pedal disk, and then begin to grow into a new anemone. Like other anemones in the B. Annulata, they can multiply by fission.
The Bartholomea anemones are known to easily reproduce in captivity, but there is not much information on breeding these anemones. The following procedures have worked with some anemones and may work for these:
It would be prudent to wash your hands if you didn't use gloves. Within a few days your anemone should have started to wrap around and heal itself.
Problems for the Curlique Anemone or Ringed Anemone are pretty minimal unless your lighting, water movement, feeding and water quality are low. Then your anemone will detach to look for "better conditions." This usually results in an unpleasant experience with a water pump.
The Curlique Anemone, Curly-Cue Anemone, or Ringed Anemone B. annulata is easy to find in stores and online and is inexpensive. The cost online is around $4.00 for two.

American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastimeby Teri Thompson Nathaniel Vinton Michael O'Keeffe Christian Red
It was an epic downfall. In twenty-four seasons pitcher Roger Clemens put together one of the greatest careers baseball has ever seen. Seven Cy Young Awards, two World Series championships, and 354 victories made him a lock for the Hall of Fame. But on December 13, 2007, the Mitchell Report laid waste to all that. Accusations that Clemens relied on steroids and human growth hormone provided and administered by his former trainer, Brian McNamee, have put Clemens in the crosshairs of a Justice Department investigation. Why did this happen? How did it happen? Who made the decisions that altered some lives and ruined others? How did a devastating culture of drugs, lies, sex, and cheating fester and grow throughout Major League Baseball's clubhouses? The answers are in these extraordinary pages. American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastime is about much more than the downfall of a superstar. While the fascinating portrait of Clemens is certainly at the center of the action, the book takes us outside the white lines and inside the lives and dealings of sports executives, trainers, congressmen, lawyers, drug dealers, groupies, a porn star, and even a murderer-- all of whom have ties to this saga. Four superb investigative journalists have spent years uncovering the truth, and at the heart of their investigation is a behind-the-scenes portrait of the maneuvering and strategies in the legal war between Clemens and his accuser, McNamee. This compelling story is the strongest examination yet of the rise of illegal drugs in America's favorite sport, the gym-rat culture in Texas that has played such an important role in spreading those drugs, and the way Congress has dealt with the entire issue. Andy Pettitte, Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, and Chuck Knoblauch are just a few of the other players whose moving and sometimes disturbing stories are illuminated here as well. The New York Daily News Sports Investigative Team has written the definitive book on corruption and the steroids era in Major League Baseball. In doing so, they have managed to dig beneath the disillusion and disappointment to give us a stirring look at heroes who all too often live unheroic shadow lives.
The Fall Line: America's Rise to Ski Racing's Summitby Nathaniel Vinton
A journey into the world's original extreme sport: downhill ski racing. Harnessing nature's most powerful forces, elite downhillers descend icy, rugged slopes at speeds cresting 90 miles per hour. For decades, American skiers struggled to match their European counterparts, and until this century the US Ski Team could not claim a lasting foothold on the roof of the Alps, where the sport's legends are born. Then came a fledgling class of American racers that disrupted the Alpine racing world order. Led by Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso and Ted Ligety, this band of iconoclasts made a place for their country on some of the world's most prestigious race courses. Even as new technology amplified the sport's inherent danger, the US Ski Team learned how to win, and they changed downhill racing forever. The Fall Line is the story of how it all came together, a deeply reported reconstruction of ski racing's most dramatic season. Drawing on more than a decade of research and candid interviews with some of the sport's most elusive figures, award-winning journalist Nathaniel Vinton reveals the untold story of how skiers like Vonn and Miller, and their peers and rivals, fought for supremacy at the Olympic Winter Games. Here is an authoritative portrait of a group of men and women taking mortal risks in a bid for sporting glory. A white-knuckled tour through skiing's deep traditions and least-accessible locales, The Fall Line opens up the sexy, high-stakes world of downhill skiing--its career-ending crashes, million-dollar sponsorship deals, international intrigue, and showdowns with nature itself. With views from the starting gate, the finish line, and treacherous turns in between, The Fall Line delivers the adrenaline of one of the world's most beautiful and perilous sports alongside a panoramic view of skiing's past, present, and future.

I apologize for off-topic on this blog but I think it's important…Victoria experienced unprecedented bushfire this month taking lives of almost 180 (the list is growing) people and leaving thousands without homes. This disaster left tears on everyone's faces even outside of Australia. If you would like to show the compassion and provide some help there are few ways. One of them is to contribute to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal 2009. You don't have to be in Australia to do that — you just need to have a big heart and few bucks to share.Read More >
Last week, I was at the NetApp office in North Sydney for the presentation on NetApp SnapManager for Oracle. It was good opportunity to learn more about NetApp snapshots while working on a project for one of our clients in Sydney.

My presentation was on the first day, right after the keynote, and following my habit of reviewing the slides before the show, I spent this keynote hour one-to-one with my MacBook. My few jokes on the initial slides were not as good as they would be with larger audience but, at least, resulted in smiles so I guess I can call it success to a certain degree.

Journal Issue: The Next Generation of Antipoverty Policies Volume 17 Number 2 Fall 2007
Ron Haskins Isabel Sawhill
Improving Supports for Working
Like the stick-and-carrot approach for mothers, these approaches with fathers try to capitalize on policies that both push and pull men into the workforce. But many observers believe that the current work supports for lowincome workers, whether male or female, are inadequate. The new combination of work requirements, sanctions, and work supports has been moderately effective, but it should be regarded as an evolving system that needs constant attention and improvement to bring still more adults into the workforce and to provide them with supports that will allow them to better their material lives and those of their children. Two of the most important problems in the current system are the shortage of funding for child care and the number of poor working adults who are not covered by health insurance. The work support system would be greatly improved if the nation could guarantee child care and health coverage to all parents who are willing to work. Thus we asked Mark Greenberg, a noted child care expert at the Center for American Progress, to propose a plan to expand child care, and we asked Alan Weil, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy, to propose a plan to cover all poor working families with health insurance.
Providing Good Child Care
Greenberg's proposal is based on the view that a national child care strategy should pursue four goals. First, every parent who needs child care to get or keep employment should be able to afford care without having to leave the children in unhealthy or dangerous environments; second, all families should have the opportunity to place their children in settings that foster education and healthy development; third, parental choice should be respected; and fourth, a set of good child care choices should be available. To attain these goals, the nation should revamp both federal child care subsidy programs and federal tax policy related to child care. Today subsidies are principally provided through a block grant structure in which states must restrict eligibility, access, or the extent of assistance to husband limited federal and state funds. Tax policy principally involves a modest nonrefundable credit that provides little or no assistance to poor and low-income families.
To improve this flawed system, Greenberg would replace the block grant with a federal guarantee of child care assistance for all working families with income under 200 percent of poverty. This federal assistance program would be administered by the states under a federal-state matching formula, with the federal government paying most of the cost. States would be responsible for developing and implementing plans to improve the quality of child care, coordinate child care with other early education programs, and ensure that child care payment rates are sufficient to allow families to purchase care that fosters healthy child development. In addition, Greenberg would restructure the federal dependent care tax credit as a refundable tax credit, with the credit set at 50 percent of covered child care costs for the lowest-income families and gradually phasing down to 20 percent as family income increases.
Taken together, the subsidy and tax changes would lead to a better-coordinated system of child care subsidies in which working families below 200 percent of poverty would be assured of substantial financial help, while taxbased help would ensure continued, albeit significantly reduced, assistance for families with higher incomes. Greenberg estimates that the additional cost of these two reforms would be on the order of $13.5 billion a year, of which the federal share would be about $8.5 billion if that share remained the same as under current law.
Providing Health Insurance
Another work support that is needed by lowincome working families is health insurance. Medicaid was created in 1965 to provide health insurance to poor and disabled individuals and families. The original program, however, created a major work disincentive because virtually the only way to get Medicaid coverage was to be on welfare. If a mother on welfare went to work, in most cases both the mother and her children lost their Medicaid coverage. Beginning in the mid-1980s, Congress gradually began to loosen the link between welfare and Medicaid for children. Then, in 1997 Congress enacted the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), which provides coverage to children in families with income well above the poverty level. Now, regardless of welfare status, nearly all children in families with incomes under 200 percent of poverty are covered by either Medicaid or SCHIP. Despite being a great improvement over the old system, the new one nonetheless suffers from a serious flaw: poor parents are often not covered. Parents who leave welfare normally get a year of coverage, but after that they are uncovered unless their employer provides a subsidized plan—which is rarely the case in the low-wage market in which most of these parents participate. Similarly, parents who avoid welfare but take one of the millions of jobs that do not provide employee benefits usually have no coverage at all. This lack of coverage for adults constitutes a disincentive to work and may indirectly affect the health of children, because adults without health insurance are less likely to take their children for preventive care.9
Alan Weil proposes creating a federal earned income health credit (EIHC) combined with redefining the federal floor of coverage through Medicaid and SCHIP. His proposal is designed to address the two key requirements for an effective policy of covering all members of poor and low-income families: overcoming the affordability barrier that so many families face and making sure enough options are available that individuals and families can obtain coverage using a combination of their own, their employer's, and public resources.
The EIHC, which borrows heavily in its design from the EITC, would be a refundable tax credit claimed each year on the federal tax return but available during the year in advance of filing. The credit would be based on taxpayer earnings and family structure, with the amount phasing in as earnings increase, reaching a plateau, and then phasing out farther up the income scale. The credit would be larger for families with dependents, reflecting the higher cost of health insurance for a family than for an individual. The EIHC would be available only to adults who demonstrate that they had health insurance coverage during the year and, in the case of adults with children, only if their eligible dependent children were enrolled in either a private or the appropriate public program. For recipients whose children are enrolled in a public program, the value of the EIHC would be reduced.
Weil's proposal includes provisions for handling individuals who receive coverage from their employer and those who do not. The EIHC is designed to function seamlessly with the employee payroll withholding system. The proposal smooths transitions from public to private coverage, and it anticipates a substantial role for states. Weil estimates that his policy would cost about $45 billion a year ($35 billion in federal dollars and $10 billion in state dollars).

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Rarely in the 86 times Kansas State and Iowa State have met on a football field were the stakes this high.
National prestige will be at stake in the 6 p.m. kickoff tonight. So will bowl possibilities. Most significantly, both teams still have a possibility of capturing the championship of the Big 12 North.
Kansas State, with season-finishing wins at home over Iowa State and Nebraska followed by a road victory at Missouri, might overtake Colorado for the North title.
For No. 21 Iowa State, the path is clear. Beat No. 12 Kansas State and then follow that up with a victory over Colorado and the Cyclones could wind up in Houston on Dec. 7 playing in the Big 12 championship game.
Of course, that's going to be a brutal two weeks in what many believe was already the meanest schedule in the country.
"We've got the toughest task the next couple of weeks of anybody in the Big 12," said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney.
"But we are here, we're in November and we're playing for an awful lot. The rewards and the stakes are very high. That makes for an exciting time."
The Cyclones finish with Connecticut.
"These next three Saturdays we're going to find out how we define our legacy, what history we leave behind and what tradition we leave," McCarney said. "We've got a chance to really add to some great things."
One tradition the Cyclones (7-3, 4-2 Big 12) would love to leave behind is their eight-game losing streak to Kansas State (7-2, 3-2). In each of those games, the Wildcats have scored at least 28 points. Two years ago, Iowa State had a 28-7 lead on Kansas State only to see coach Bill Snyder's team rally for a 35-28 win.
Even more disheartening to the Cyclones was last year, when the Wildcats pounded McCarney and star quarterback Seneca Wallace 42-3.
"We always seem to bring out the best in them," said McCarney.
Wallace, who remains on most Heisman Trophy contender lists, had one of his worst games against the Wildcats last year.
This will be his only appearance in KSU Stadium.
"We were good about being in the right spots at the right time. So I think it was a combination of things," Snyder said. "We didn't do anything that was unique to college football in attempting to defend him, but what we did, we did very well."
Wallace seems to have bounced back from a midseason slump. Against Missouri last week, the multi-dimensional quarterback set an Iowa State record with 493 total yards. He ranks third in the Big 12 in total offense and in passing trails only Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury.
And if there's one soft spot in the Kansas State defense, it might be the defensive secondary. Cornerback Terence Newman is one of the nation's best. But beyond Newman, there have been problems.
"Their statistics aren't unbelievably ridiculous (against the pass) like they are against the run, so you hope there's some opportunities for us to throw it," McCarney said.
"But it's going to be hard. One of the things that we've really had a lot of problems with in recent years with them is getting receivers open. Their coverage has been every bit as good as their pressure up front. That's the thing we've got to defeat."
Whether Wallace runs or passes, the Wildcats are going to be keeping an eye on him.
"Iowa State has a great program, and we've got to focus on them, especially the quarterback," said Kansas State defensive tackle Tank Reese. "We'll see how good we are. We need a good week or preparation because he won't make it easy."

BETHLEHEM — Every Eagle showed up on time, nobody had a contract issue bothering him.
Small groups of reporters milled about nervously in front of the Lehigh dorms as the veterans arrived, wondering whether this meant the Mayans were right. But the sunny, breezy afternoon continued into a lovely evening, with no further hint of forthcoming apocalypse.
"There are less distractions, right? So I think it's absolutely a plus," coach Andy Reid said.
Most notably, a smiling DeSean Jackson appeared well in advance of the evening welcoming meeting. Last year Jackson, upset his contract revision hadn't happened, missed the first 11 days at Lehigh. This time, Jackson proclaimed a fresh start.

Even when New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow isn't trying to make news, he's still nabbing headlines.
New York's gunslinger was not scheduled to meet with the media following Saturday afternoon's practice, but he still managed to create quite a stir. Footage of Tebow running shirtless off the practice field appeared on news stations across the country, while photographs of his 'Baywatch Moment' surfaced all over the Internet.
After today's practice, Tebow told his side of the story.
"I was running with my shirt and it felt like twenty pounds because we were in the rain and I was signing autographs for about 20 or 30 minutes, so I didn't really think you all would be filming it and taking pictures," explained Tebow.
With the sporting world buzzing over the incident, the bare-chested jog was merely routine according to the Jets Wildcat specialist.
"I can't tell you how many times probably in Florida or Denver after practice I would do sprints back and forth with that and jog off the field and never think about it again and it would never get reported," said Tebow of his shirtless jog caught on camera." That's also what I mean about not changing, that's who I am."
Tebow's teammates, including fellow quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Greg McElroy playfully joked when they saw television replays from No. 15's post-practice jog.
"It was funny," admitted Tebow. A few guys gave me a hard time, but honestly I don't think anyone knew until they saw it that night on ESPN. It was funny. More than anything it was probably just Mark and Greg giving me a hard time and then everyone else catches on after that."

Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by AxesandAnchors, Dec 23, 2012.
Knee deep simtra
Just have to stop and note the concept, worthy of adoption: having a beer on hand to help wash another down.
Might be worthy of its own thread: What beer do you use to wash down a particular other?
In the spirit of this thread, I may just wash down a Sculpin with a Ruination or wash down a Racer 5 with a Double Jack.
Does the West Coast brew a nice IPA? I might have to pick something up.
Good Life--Descender
This is at least 75% of what I drink, that being fresh West Coast brewed IPAs. No ORDER!
Alpine Neslon
Alpine Duet
Societe The Pupil
Societe The Apprentice
Exit 16, Union Jack, Green Flash, Hop Stoopid
If you live in Portland and left Workhorse off of your list, then you're just silly!
PtY will be all over Portland in February.
For me in Norcal,
Hop Rod Rye
Berryessa Double Tap (Berryessa is up there with Boneyard for the best new(er) IPA brewer out west)
Berryessa House IPA
Auburn Ale House PU240
Hop Shortage
Poor Man's
They've struck out with me on a couple occasions so I've left their stuff on the shelf since. If you say it's that good though I will give'em another shot. Thanks.
Yeah, it took me a while to appreciate Laurelwood too. Once I had Workhorse, I never questioned their ability again!
Since I've been on an IPA kick lately, here's my $.02 (in no particular order)
Pliny The Elder
Racer X
Lagunitas Sucks
FW Double Jack
I think we need a polling function with choices tied in to the BA rating database. It wouldn't be infallible, but it would be a good starting point.
[yes, I just made this point in another thread, but it applies here as well]
My everyday favorites are;
Anderson Valley Hop Ottin
Lagunitas IPA
Firestone Union Jack
Russian River Blind Pig
Drakes IPA
Pizza Port Kung Fu Elvis
Beachwood Hop Ninja
Kern River 5th Anniv.
Alpine Nelson
Drakes Aroma Coma
some of my favorites :
alpine - pure hoppiness
kern river - just outstanding
russian river - blind pig
ballets point - sculpin
stone - enjoy by
Don't care for AleSmith, but like Green Flash, Drakes, Stone IPAs, also Hop Stoopid.
Drakes Aroma Coma
Oakland Brewing Sticky Zipper
Knee Deep Hop Shortage
Racer 5
Green Flash WC IPA, Imperial
BS Sculpin
SN Torpedo, Southern hemi, northern hemi, estate
Lagunitas Sucks, Hop Stoopid, Maximus, IPA, Lil sumpin sumpin
Etc, etc, etc...
Double Nelson
Cask Nelson
Enjoy By
Ruination 10th
Racer 5
Nelson, Duet, O'Brien's, Pupil, Just Outstanding, Blind Pig, Sculpin, Camel Corps, Eraser, Double Jack.
Green Flash I am assuming.
Pure Hoppiness, Nelson or any IPA from Alpine for that matter. Also Sculpin, Racer 5, Aroma Coma, Blind Pig, Alesmith IPA, Mongo, Enjoy by, Ruination 10th to name a few. I have not been privileged enough to taste Citra yet but hopefully some day soon.
Simtra is good for sure. Not sure how widely available it is though.
Haven't seen Boneyard beers down in So Cal. Hear good things about them though.
I agree with all this.
I'm having PTE, sucks, 90min and sculpin tonight! Every body have a safe and happy new year! Cheers!
Just downed a half glass of Sculpin - wow, not sure I've had this before but it is very rich. A bit on the bitter-aftertaste side for me but I can't get over how much aroma it has ... smelling all the usual good stuff: pineapple, grapefruit, liche (yes, look it up) and even some mango. Taste is not as drastic or complete but aroma is amazing.
Nothing goes down as smooth as a FW DJ, now on tap at Handles, along with FW UJ.
KRBC Citra DIPA (fresher the better)
Societe Pupil
Alpine Bad Boy
Bootlegger's Knuckle Sandwich
Drake's Aroma Coma
Im surprised to see Societe's Pupil getting so much love in here. I went to Societe on the way home after a trip to Alpine last week and found their beers to be rather unremarkable. I believe Pupil and The Butcher (their Imperial Stout) are by far their best beers but wouldn't even put them anywhere near the same level as Alpine. With that being said, here's my list.
1. Nelson
2. Blind Pig
3. Pliny
4. Exp Hoppiness
5. Duet
6. Stone Ruination 10th Anniv
7. Sculpin
Honorable mentions: Lagunitas Sucks, Stone Enjoy By, FW Double Jack, Alesmith IPA
There are so many other good West Coast IPAs that I left out but these are my go-to's and favorites.
I think Pupil is about as close you can get to Nelson without actually having Nelson.
duet, nelson, pure hoppiness(when bottled properly & fresh!), citra, pliny, jo, hoppy birthday, bad boy, denver jackhammer, citraholic, alpha supreme(pale ale that should be an ipa!), pliny, blind pig, mongo and sculpin. i purposely left out younger.
Try Beachwoods Alpha Supreme. . . .nelson hops! But more like Hoppy Birthday. Very drinkable and full of flavor. IMO.
I've been wanting to try something from them. I've heard nothing but great things.
Just had a sculpin and I think it wasn't that good
In no particular order...
Port Brewing's Anniversary IPA
Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale
Enjoy By
Year-Round West Coast IPAs
Kern Just Outstanding
Alpine Nelson
Stone Enjoy By (seems like it is going to be an every other month thing now)
Ballast Sculpin
In addition to RUssian River,GreenFlash,Bear Republic, Laguanitas , don't forget our friends to the north at Ninkasi... Their Tricerehops double ipa and Total Domination IPA are on par !!!!!!
Alpha Supreme may be BETTER than Hoppy Birthday IMHO. My god is that insane beer, stopped in Beechwood for growler fills of Hop Jitzu and had a taste of Alpha. BTW, Hop Jitzu may be one of the best Citra IPA I have had in a long time ! Unbelievable quality craft coming from Beechwood right now. I am now putting them up with Alpine, Kern and RR for my tastes.
Looked it up...no such thing. I think you meant lychee.

1996 Ford Ranger XL 2dr Extended Cab SB
This was the second truck I have ever owned. I liked the size until now when I need a bigger truck because of family. I have had multiple issues with the Transmission, starting at 98,000 miles. Door handles broke at 120,000. Rear Tailgate handle broke around the same time. Over all a good truck.
Get a better Trans and re-design the handles so they are more durable.
I've owed this vehicle new from dealership; driven it hard and regular. I've never experienced a problem - Just semi-regular maintenance. I'd buy it again. The only thing I'd change is adding a console.
My favorite feature is the vehicle's reliability - like a best friend, it's always been there and ready when I needed it.
I love my truck. I bought it as a
powered wheelbarrow for hauling stuff
to the dump and from Home Depot. So I
bought one w/ very few creature
comforts, but the thing is very
comfortable to drive and great for long
trips. Very comfortable seats for
stock ones.
The solid feel of the truck.
The cupholders w/ their snap in size
adjustments are poorly designed.
The 4L engine is small, but I knew that
going into it.
My first American-made truck purchase.
Reliable truck. No major problems.
Mechanically good. No rust. Good
value for price paid. Has met all
It's a pickup - good for hauling items
from home depot, mulch, etc.
Extended cab is very handing. Good if
you need to squeeze an extra person in
(though only recommended for short
trips). Also good for extra inside/dry
If you need power/hauling
cabability/off-road go for the 4WD or
larger engine. This is an entry level
pickup only.
As with most trucks, not the best in

Upon purchase, you will get INSTANT ACCESS to Video Marketing Exposed!I know that you might have some questions, so I decided to provide answers to some of the more common questions that people ask.
Q: What specifically will I learn from this product?
A: You will learn how to effectively use video to get more leads, sales and traffic to your site. You will also learn how to master YouTube, get ranked first for your keywords and optimize your videos the fast and easy way, plus much more.
Q: How will this product teach me to generate business leads?
A: This product shows you the step-by-step process for finding the right target audience, and shows you how to easily build a community of hungry viewers who are actually searching for your videos. It will also show you how to become a video authority in your niche, and how to turn views on YouTube into sales of your product or service.
Q: How can this product benefit an independent professional like me?
A: We understand that most independent professionals don't have the big budgets to spend on marketing, and that's why videos are the perfect tools. It's easy to make effective videos on a small budget, and you don't need professional equipment to make a great video. In fact, you don't even need to be on camera. And the best part is, it doesn't have to take days to make a video. It's a quick, simple process that will only take you a few minutes every day!
Q: How can this product benefit a small business or corporation?
A: Small businesses need video marketing more than anything. Video is a growing medium for marketing, and it's essential to create your own presence on video sites like YouTube, or you are missing out on the opportunity for new leads coming in each month. It's also a great way to connect with your audience, and know exactly who wants to buy your product or service.
Q: Can a complete newbie do this?
A: Absolutely. In fact this is probably the most newbie friendly strategy there is for making money online as an affiliate.
Q: How long will it take me to implement this product and see results?
A: Results vary, but it is common for me to hear from my students who go through the training to see results in a matter of days after their first video is posted. My personal record was within 4 hours for a lead generation system I sold in a video. But usually it takes a few weeks to get consistent sales coming in. I can't promise you will see the same results, as I don't know how fast you learn, if you will actually follow what I teach and if you will actually take any action whatsoever to build your business, etc…
Q: What if I'm not tech savvy? Do I need any technical skill with video…can I still implement this product?
A: Video doesn't have to be tough or technical. Of course, it will take a few tries and a little practice to get everything perfect. However, I only show you the things you need to focus on to help you get results, and I make it very easy to follow in the training. As long as you know how to click your mouse then you'll be good to go. There is nothing technically difficult about any of this. I show you how to set up your YouTube Channel, and upload videos to YouTube and then follow my strategy for getting traffic…very easy! Making the videos does NOT require a video camera either, as I show you how you can use a free screen recording tool. NOTE: YouTube is constantly updating their platform with new features and changing around the user interface; therefore, it's important to learn the concepts I'm teaching, because some of the actual How-To videos might change over time as YouTube changes their layout. Nothing anyone can do about this, however, it's a benefit for us as those who refuse to adapt will simply be left behind by those of us that will take advantage of these situations.
Q: How is this product delivered?
A: I love instant results, so I want you to experience that as well Right after you sign up you will receive instant access, along with all of the videos, audios, notes, PDF transcripts, and bonuses with a unique login and password just for you. We like to update the content when needed as this allows you to login from any computer all around the world and receive the information at any time.
Q: What if I don't like this product?
A: I know you will LOVE this product; however, if for whatever reason you aren't satisfied in any way, or you don't think you are getting enough results, I have a 60 day money back guarantee (and you get to keep the product). I want you to succeed, and know that if you get your hands on this powerful information and take action… that you will see amazing results!
Q: Is there a lot of expense up front or ongoing to do this?
A: There is very little expense upfront. You don't need domains or hosting, the only costs are when it comes to doing SEO on your videos. However you can do all this stuff for free yourself, or pay a small amount for some services & tools I recommend to speed up the process. There are also a lot of resources that I've included which you don't have to use, but when you start to they will help you speed up your success.
Q: Is there any customer support?
A: Yes there is. I have a support system and email set up, that is checked Monday-Friday and we try to respond to support tickets in the order that they are received as soon as possible.
Q: Do I need any special equipment to make these videos?
A: No you don't; however, you probably already have a smart phone or laptop which have great cameras now-a-days that can be used to create really great videos. Also, I explain how you can make very simple videos, where you record your computer screen only. You are not recording with a video camera, so you DON'T have to be IN the videos and you don't have to worry about lighting or any of that stuff. You can even do this using a free tool for recording your screen.
Q: Will there be any annoying upsells or downsells, as I hate that crap!
A: NO. There is absolutely no upsells or downsells, you get the entire training program and that's it. There are resources that I have listed, which have been derived from extensive testing of different resources to bring you only the best that can help you speed up and improve your business, but they are not necessary to get.
