A former Swisher County sheriff pleaded guilty Monday to charges of official oppression stemming from allegations he sexually harassed a former Swisher County employee during an official business trip through Randall County.
Emmett Benavidez, 65, of Tulia, entered the plea as part of a deal made in advance with Randall County District Attorney James Farren's office. According to the deal, Benavidez will serve one year of probation, 30 days in jail, and 30 hours of community service for the class A misdemeanor. He will also be required to pay a $500 fine and attend a "rational behavior" class.
Cassie Pointer, a victim in the case who successfully sued Benavidez in a federal civil rights suit last year, said she recorded statements Benavidez made during the trip. She previously brought her concerns about Benavidez to top county officials, but she said they did nothing.
"If people would have listened to us in the beginning, there wouldn't have been a federal lawsuit," she said in a previous interview.
In February, Pointer and another former Swisher County employee, Tara Rasmussen, reached a settlement with Benavidez over sexual harassment. The suit alleged that Benavidez fondled himself in front of them and that County Judge Harold Keeter retaliated against them for reporting the incidents. The suit was later amended to include alleged retaliation by Swisher County Sheriff Burnie Wells.
Benavidez, Wells and the other defendants denied the allegations. The $300,000 settlement dismissed all claims against Keeter and Wells, said Rob Hogan, an attorney representing the women, at the time.
Benavidez resigned in the midst of the scandal.
Randall County authorities later filed the official oppression charge against Benavidez based on Pointer's recordings.
Randall County Judge James Anderson granted Benavidez's request that the 30-day sentence be served on weekends, beginning at 8 p.m. Friday. He will be released at 6 a.m. the following Monday and will be expected to return every subsequent Friday until the full sentence has been served.
He will serve the year of probation under the authority of Swisher County, where he lives.
Randall County Assistant District Attorney Larry Fadler, who prosecuted the case against Benavidez, described Benavidez's behavior class as a course aimed at teaching people who have made "misjudgments" how to react to situations in the way a rational person would.
Pointer, 34, praised Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren and the Texas Rangers for bringing the prosecution.
"It took another county to step forward and do the right thing," said Pointer, who has moved away from Swisher County with her family.

Michigan Tax Reform Signed
Changes will make Michigan more competetive
The Michigan Business Tax will soon be no more as Gov. Rick Snyder signed his tax reform package into law Wednesday. The bill replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax. The state will also end its business tax credit regime, much of which created an unfair playing field for Michigan businesses.
The law makes Michigan more competitive nationally and limits a substantial piece of the burden government places on the state's job providers.
The reform package also freezes the phase-down of the income tax rate and eliminates a number of exemptions and credits, including a major alteration of the state's pension income exemptions. The state expects to draw $334 million in additional revenue by lowering pension exemptions. This part of the tax change was ultimately unneeded.
Stay Engaged
But the package on whole makes Michigan a better place to do business, something the state has sorely needed.

With the group stages of the UEFA Champions League having come to a thrilling end last week, an interesting dimension has been added to the upcoming January transfer window.
A number of Europe's top clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United, Valencia, Lille, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund have all bitten the dust. Along with the pile of cash they stand to lose, each of them has some major decisions to make. There are trophies to be won, next year's European competitions to be qualified for and players to be bought and sold.
But with the existing financial landscape in European football being the driving factor that it undoubtedly is, each of these eliminated clubs will view the remainder of the season with a different perspective.
United and City will obviously focus on lifting every possible piece of domestic silverware, and in spite of their public utterances, will definitely not prioritize the Europa League. They will also be on the lookout for new players in this transfer window; especially United, who are in the midst of a massive injury crisis.
Somewhat smaller clubs like Lille, Valencia and Ajax will have an equal focus on their local competitions, but will also have an eye on the pot of gold that the Europa League can bring. But more than anything else, they will want to ensure that they qualify for next season's Champions League.
On the other hand, the financial situation at these smaller clubs might tempt them to enter the transfer market and offload some of their brightest stars. Especially if someone is willing to pay over the odds.
So what does this mean for Premier League clubs?
Four simple words: Have money, will buy.
Moneybags City and Chelsea will always want to sign players, and more importantly, the desire will be matched by ability. United, as mentioned earlier, need players and will always be an attractive destination.
Tottenham consider themselves upwardly mobile, and Harry Redknapp is always on the lookout for a bargain. However, his purse strings show no signs of being loosened by Daniel Levy, and he will remain a bargain-hunter.
Liverpool are not in the Champions League, and are by no means certain to be there next year. The Club's history is definitely an attraction, but for the top players, titles and money are the real drawing cards.
Arsenal are in an interesting position. Their momentum is certainly upward. They are very much in the Champions League. They need one or two players. And they always say they have the money. Could Arsene Wenger do the unthinkable and splash the cash?
Read on for a club-by-club guide to the players who may be on the market as a result of their clubs' Champions League elimination. There are, as expected, no tangible rumors on Otelul Galati, Trabzonspor, Viktoria Plzen and BATE Borisov. Who??
And if you're looking for up to date transfer news, especially that pertaining to Arsenal, you can follow me on Twitter.

x360a Review: Prototype
Written Friday, June 19, 2009 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Whilst the gaming world was recovering from the hectic event that was this year's E3, Activision and Radical Entertainment released their Prototype to the world. I'm not talking about some sort of cyborg prototype that acts as our servant before turning on its master and going on a rampage (anyone tell I've recently watched I-Robot recently?), we're talking about the video game.
The superhero-esque sandbox title didn't have the smoothest of run ins with the game due to hit last year but became a victim of its own scope as Radical needed more time to finish and polish. The question is, was it worth the wait? Or are we wishing we could turn our hands in to raw metal so we could squash that son of a bitch disc?

This poll is now closed.
I need 2 more rosters to make Round 6 and then make the matches between the winners to settle it. Thanks! Be impartial and be fair.
Roster 9
- No King K. Rool
- Cut Toon Link, No New LoZ rep
- Cut Lucario for 6th Gen rep
- Cut Ike
Roster 10
- Ghirahim and cut Toon Link
- (Could be controversial to some) Lip and Tom Nook
I'm going with Roster 10. Despite Roster 9's realistic amount of additions(9), the amount of cuts (and who they were) and only 7 Nintendo characters added I had to give it to Roster 10.
Good luck to you both.

The negatives on Roster 9:
-No K. Rool
-No Ike
-Lucario cut for 6th gen rep
-Toon Link cut with no added Zelda rep
-No Isaac, who I'm fairly certain has potential to be a playable character
-Megaman, who I do not find at all as likely as some may think he is.
BTW, the ? space with the Pokemon is the 6th gen rep.
EDIT: Damn, didn't even notice Ike was gone.

Too many iffy additions in my opinion for roster ten.
-->MY<-- Latest SSB4 Roster.
I came up with this roster mostly based on the belief that the game won't have much more than 40 characters in it, which is why it has so few newcomers and the three cuts. And I seem to be losing pretty bad too, but thanks for accepting it into the pool anyway.
First is more realistic with no Waluigi.
Palutena, Isaac, Ridley, King K. Rool, and Anna for SSB4

SMASHKING84 4 years ago#8
roster 9 because 10 has waluigi.
Jirachi is the best pokemon
Ignoring:anyone who pisses me off
Limelight788 4 years ago#9
Roster 9:
+ Ridley
+ Palutena
+ Takamaru
+ Little Mac
+ Shulk
+ Mega Man
- No 3rd DK character (specifically K. Rool or Dixie)
- No Mewtwo OR Lucario. I'm confident that at least one of these two are going to be in.
- Pac-Man
- No 3rd Zelda character. A 5th Zelda character isn't likely, but there's no reason not to expect Toon Link (or at least a child variation) to return. Using the clone argument is terrible as well as no evidence that move set potentials plays a part in character decisions.
- Two Fire Emblem characters. Fire Emblem was planned to have three characters in Brawl (third one being Roy). Ike is a highly popular character that starred in two games and chances are, Sakurai is going to be much less hesitant to cut Nintendo characters this time around, especially when 49-56 characters are looking likely (transformation included).
-Roster size is too small. Its highly doubtful that we will get less than 48 characters in this game. People may say that "we've probably reached our limit", but its likely that he was referring to Smash 4's roster and not Brawl's, given that cuts aren't inevitable and what potential cut choices that are available are more likely to return than not. Another thing is that Brawl planned to have twenty-one (or twenty-two, depending on if the pra_mai rumor is true) characters and since Sakurai likes to go back to the previous games and add characters from there, two or three of the characters from the Forbidden Six (Seven) getting in Smash 4 looks likely (with Mewtwo, Roy and Dixie Kong being the most likely). Finally, Smash has always added at least twelve more characters. While this isn't a sure thing to keep, I have a hard time seeing us getting less than ten more characters from Brawl, let alone just nine characters overall, especially when there are still at least twenty newcomers with realistic odds.
Roster 10:
+ King K. Rool
+ Ridley
+ Palutena
+ Takamaru
+ Little Mac
+ Isaac
+ Shulk
+ Good roster size
- No Toon Link: Ghirahim could happen, but it won't be at the cost of a child Link. Either Ghirahim will get the 5th spot or he's not getting in.
- No Mewtwo
- Lip
- Pac-Man
- Waluigi: He has popularity, but that's it. What he doesn't have is importance. A Mario rep is not going to be decided by popularity due to being no general consensus on a Mario newcomer (and Toad, Bowser Jr. and Paper Mario also being popular) but by importance. The franchise isn't guarantee a newcomer and I have a hard time seeing Waluigi getting in by popularity alone.
- Tom Nook: The Animal Crosser already got rejected by Sakurai due to his peaceful nature. Tom Nook isn't even the primary character so what chance does he have?
Roster 10 is mediocre, but in comparison to the garbage that is Roster 9, at least it works, so it gets my vote.
Toad, Bowser Jr., Paper Mario, Geno, King K. Rool, Dixie Kong, Ridley, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Pichu, Genesect, Roy, Palutena, Mach Rider, Ray, and Mega Man for SSB4!

The Internet is hurting 'Real Hip Hop'
Is there such a thing as real hip hop? I mean, hip hop has been mutating throughout its nearly 40 year run into what it is today. As someone who has watched these changes from the beginning I can assure you-yes, there is such a thing as real hip hop.
Not every type of music gets a title during the height of its cultural enlightenment. Hip hop's came in the 90's with the label of the "Golden Era." The Golden Era was a time in the late 80's-early 90's that firstly solidified that hip hop was not a fad as many thought. Secondly, it proved to be a viable source of income for artists as well as corporate entities. Finally, the Golden Era brought a defined sound to hip hop. Every coast had a discernable sound. An artist could flourish without a "hit" record. Unlike today, they were handing out record deals like hotcakes to anyone with talent. If you had a niche, you had a deal. An artist didn't have to be tough or hood. They could just be. If you liked sampled music with a grimey flow on top you could easily find something from the East coast. If you wanted to know about gang life with some funk behind it you went to the West. Later the South would find it's voice too. There was an equation to the sound of the golden era and everyone (mostly) was happy. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Comedian Gaffigan savors New Year's in Milwaukee
Pasty comedian Jim Gaffigan has become such a New Year's tradition in Milwaukee that Point Brewery in Stevens Point bottles a special beer in his honor for the shows - aptly titled "Jim Gaffigan Pale Ale."
This will be the sixth year that Gaffigan, 46, performs at the Pabst Theater around New Year's. Beside the fact that tickets continue to sell well (he's playing three shows from Saturday through Monday this year) there's another important reason why he keeps coming back. »Read Full Article

- protein5g
- salt0.67g
- 200ml Madeira
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 600ml turkey or chicken stock, fresh or made with cubes
- 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
A condiment made by mixing the ground seeds of the mustard plant with a combination of…
- 200ml/7fl oz turkey juices, skimmed of all fat (make up with stock if you don't have enough; add it all if you have more)
The traditional Christmas bird, turkey is good to eat all year round though is only readily…
Gradually mix the Madeira into the flour until smooth. Heat the stock in a pan, then pour in the flour mixture and mustard, stirring until thickened. Chill until ready to serve, covering the surface with cling film to stop a skin forming. On the day, reheat in a pan with the turkey juices until bubbling.
How to make stock for the gravy
If you are doing this the day before, brown the raw turkey giblets in 1 tbsp olive oil, then add 2 roughly chopped onions, a carrot and a bay leaf. Pour over 2 litres of water, then leave to simmer for 1 hr. Strain off the giblets and veg, then chill until needed. If you like to get ahead, use the carcass left over from a roast chicken instead of the giblets – no need to brown it first.

NCAA Game Night: 3/4Submitted by Nigel on March 5, 2007 - 10:47
Northern Michigan 3 - Ohio State 2
CCHA Tournament - Round 1, Game 3
The No. 10 seed in the CCHA tournament is providing some excitement as the Wildcats knocked off No. 7 seed Ohio State two games to one. Lightning prospect Dusty Collins was scoreless in game three and minus-1 with 2 shots. It was his overtime goal in game two that saved off elimination for Northern.
The Wildcats scored two shorthanded goals in the win but the story of the series was Northern's backup goaltender Brian Stewert of Burnaby, B.C. Only a freshman with a season save percentage of .890, he made 34 saves in the game for the win. Stewert replaced starter Bill Zaniboni midway through the second period of game one and stayed in net the rest of the series.
With Alaska's upset win over Western Michigan in three games, Northern was the second lowest seed to move on and will travel to No. 2 seed Michigan in the second round for a best of three series. Alaska, seeded No. 11 plays No. 1 seed Notre Dame.

Chiefs to Play in Johnstown Next SeasonSubmitted by pete on March 4, 2007 - 21:51
According to Mike Mastovich of the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown Chiefs owner Jim Weber has received a new concessions revenue sharing plan from the Cambria County government which should allow the Chiefs to stay in Johnstown through the 2007-2008 season. Beyond 2007-2008 remains up in the air. A split of concessions may be enough for Weber to keep the team in Johnstown into the near future, but other scenarios could see the sale of the team to one of two NHL teams. Mastovich hints one of those teams would buy the team and move it in 2008-2009 to a new city where another rink is currently being built (speculated in internet rumors to be to suburban Philadelphia by the Flyers), while the other would try to keep the team in Johnstown and reevaluate after one year (presumably the Lightning).

AHL Game Day 3/4: Falcons at SharksSubmitted by pete on March 4, 2007 - 21:14
The streak is over. Falcons win.
Karri Ramo stopped 25 of 27 shots faced in regulation and overtime before stopping a perfect 8 of 8 penalty shots for the shootout victory. For Ramo, who went 0 for February in the win department, it was his first victory since January 19th at Providence. David Spina had a pair of assists in the game while Adam Henrich and PJ Atherton (slipping nicely through a Clear Day loophole) scored Springfield's goals. Matt Smaby and Andy Rogers, freshly dried from a dip in Springfield Republican beat writer Fran Sypek's vitriol, each had primary assists in the game. Daniel Corso, who scored the winning shootout goal, was named first star of the game while Spina took third star honors.
The win breaks the Falcons' 8 game winless streak. Interesting takeaway stats from the game: the Falcons outshot the Sharks 31-27 partly on the strength of Atherton's team high 5 shots on goal. I know someone who wants a contract.
Newly acquired Nick Kuiper was +1 in the game. Joe Rullier did not suit up for the Falcons.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Mike Shula spent a good portion of their Monday media session answering questions about how the offense can replace wide receiver Steve Smith.
The simple answer: You can't.
Smith is expected to miss the regular-season finale at Atlanta with a sprained left knee suffered in the first quarter of Carolina's 17-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. It's not serious, but it is serious enough that the Panthers (11-4) will have to adjust for at least one game.
They can put capable players on the field to play Smith's role as the X receiver. Domenik Hixon proved that with his game-winning, 14-yard touchdown catch with 23 seconds left against the Saints.
But opponents aren't likely to develop game plans around stopping Hixon or Ted Ginn Jr. as they would for Smith. Defensive coordinators aren't likely to roll their coverage to the side of the field for one of those players as they would for the five-time Pro Bowler.
Smith draws attention that makes it easier for his fellow receivers to do their jobs. Brandon LaFell gets open a lot more when Smith is double-teamed.
Smith's fiery personality also can't be replaced. Rivera called him tenacious. Shula called him a warrior.
They didn't use any of those adjectives to describe Smith's replacements.
Smith is one of a kind. He is 5-foot-9, 185 pounds of heart, muscle and pure energy. He lives for the moment to make a defender look bad. Just ask New England cornerback Aqib Talib. He was beaten so badly by Smith on a Monday night at Bank of America Stadium that Smith finally told Talib to "ice up, son.''
Now there are "Ice up, son'' T-shirts all around Charlotte.
Smith brings an attitude. He can be overpowering in ways other receivers can only imagine because he's so mentally tough. He can be intimidating.
When asked who can replace that, Rivera mentioned linebacker Thomas Davis. That's because Smith plays wide receiver with a linebacker mentality.
"They're both very emotional guys that play with their hearts on their sleeves,'' Rivera said.
You can't replace that.
You can only hope to adequately fill the gap.
Having said that, as Smith joked last week that a dislocated finger would sideline him against New Orleans, I asked what the offense would look like if he had to miss a game.
I suggested that the receiving corps had grown to the point that the offense could continue without missing a beat.
"As a competitor in me, I hope with my absence that it shows,'' Smith said at the time. "But at the same time ... you want when things happen, you want guys to move forward.
"Hopefully, that's not an issue we need to worry about.''
Now it's an issue. It doesn't appear to be a long-term issue. The posterior cruciate ligament Smith sprained is more of a nuisance. He'll likely be good to go in two weeks.
If the Panthers win at Atlanta, he'll have three weeks to recover completely before they begin their playoff quest. The rest could do him good.
The Panthers need Smith if they are to turn this magical season into a Super Bowl season. In many ways, he defines this team. He is the one who predicted after a 12-7 loss to Seattle in the opener that the team would face the Seahawks again deep into the playoffs.
He defied letting this be another year of doom and gloom.
Nobody else did that.
The Panthers will spend the rest of this week shuffling players around to do some of the things Smith does. Ginn is the first option at X, with Hixon sharing that role.
Both are capable.
But neither is Smith.

International Conference
Haus der Universität, Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Düsseldorf (Germany)
2-4 April 2014
[Deadline for abstracts: 31st October 2013)
Dr. Daniel Blanga-Gubbay / Dr. Elisabeth Ruchaud. @ Graduiertenkolleg Materialität und Produktion, [GRK1678] Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Düsseldorf
In ordinary terms, the word production refers to an act of creation and its result, or to a process at the end of which there is a materialisation of some kind, or to the act of making something present. By productively interfering with this common idea of production we would like to work towards establishing different ways of thinking about this concept.
Distraction and Interference as well as Resistance and Accident are exemplary categories of the unexpected moments that may or may not take place in the course of production. They remind us that production cannot be reduced to the momentum of 'achieving a product'. Rather, these categories help to reveal the physical presence of those who produce, the materiality of the objects involved and the unforeseen effects of the 'product'. Furthermore, they allow us to question the alleged linearity of the processes that form part of production. Thereby, Distraction, Interference, Resistance and Accident make us aware to what extent production involves a 'lived' and 'living' tension between the producer and what is being produced, between the subject and the world. Distractions or Interferences involve an examination of the subject of production. Correspondingly, on the side of the objects of production, Resistances or Accidents are capable of – and sometimes violently so – interrupting any given course of production. These dynamics of production and their distinctive and creative potentialities will form the main focus of this conference.
In order to structure the topic, the conference will be divided into four sections. The following suggestions serve purely illustrative purposes.
Who: Traces of production
This panel aims to question the unexpected traces of the producers' presence, from medieval copyists' variations to Hitchcock's cameos in his own movies. There are at least two different approaches towards exploring the traces of production: on the one hand, by starting from the object so as to find the unexpected traces of the authors' physical presence (beyond his signature); on the other hand, by starting from the author/actor in order to see the (un-) intentional plan of leaving archaeological traces in the course of production.
Where: Spaces of production
This section investigates the relationship between distance and production in two different directions. Firstly, by concentrating on the interval between task and result and on the singular forms of creation evolving from this space. Secondly, unexpected results can also emerge from any production of distance in terms of material objects or practices such as: proxemics in theatrical performances, modern museography, Warburg's Bilderatlas.
Why: About the necessity of resistance
Far beyond the contingency of the unexpected, this session aims to examine the material presence of a refusal to produce. This is manifest in, for example, the modern idea of going on strike or in the well-known "I would prefer not to" with which Melville's Bartleby stubbornly decides to resist the process of copying. The identity between task and result is only alleged and this tends to conceal the self-productive presence of production as an intrinsically human process! We would like to analyse the political aspects of resistance by concentrating on the potentialities of inaction.
When: Temporalities of production
This panel will attempt to highlight historical continuities as well as ruptures in the unexpectable dynamics of production. This can be achieved by asking how the very notions of production or temporality, for example, have been modified in the course of historical evolution. From the copyists of antiquity to the invention of the printing press and beyond, from the 'birth of the artist' in the 12th/13th centuries to Walter Benjamin's concept of technical reproduction, this session is dedicated to the heterogeneous and discontinuous processes of production and their relation to the category of the unexpected.
We would like to invite scholars from the Humanities and related fields (art, history, literature, cultural studies, art history, cultural anthropology, sociology, philosophy etc.) to engage with this subject in a 20 minute paper.
Abstracts of no more than 600 words with a title and a short professional biography of no more than 100 words (.pdf or word.doc) should be sent to email@example.com by October 31st 2013. Papers should be in English; however, papers in German or French may also be accepted.
This conference will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany.
A publication of the proceedings of this conference is foreseen; therefore, please indicate whether you would be interested in further developing your paper for a publication of collected essays after the event.

Post apocalyptic listener with some thrillers mixed in. Follow me on twitter at @drewsant
You are an Ironman follows six people through their training for Ironman Arizona in 2009. This book is more of a memoir than an training manual. The author does a great job of capturing the spirit of the Ironman, explaining to the reader why people do these the types races and their back stories, some of which are funny, some of which are inspirational and some just plain strange (there was one guy who heard about people at his Gym talking about finishing one and just decided to jump right in, or at least that what it seemed like). There are also short inspirational stories about people the athletes meet on the way such as about leg amputee and would be Ironman Rudy Garcia-Tolson. The tales of the would be Ironmen (sorry ladies they're called Ironmen no matter what sex the competitor is) do a good job of conveying the ups and downs of the training that one goes through when preparing for an Ironman.
The only drawback to the book was being an audiobook it made the book a bit hard to follow as the author jumped from one person to the next, so I would recommend that you get it on paper or in your favorite electronic format. Additionally since there weren't really characters the performance was more of a book reading rather than a performance of a fiction book.
A mix of fun, and inspiration, if you like endurance sports I would highly recommend this book.
"Interesting but droned on a bit"
If you have ever wanted to understand what is involved in an Ironman, this book follows the backgrounds of a diverse group of people and how they approached training for and competing in Ironmans. I don't really have any interest in participating in an Ironman, but I thought it would be an interesting read. I would say it was an average book. It didn't particularly move me and it droned on a bit in parts, but it was interesting enough. I probably wouldn't recommend it unless it was on sale.
"great to listen too while training"
I only listened to it
"here to win" by Chris MacCormack. Both are about triathlons one from a professionals view and the other from a weekend worrier. both are great reads
great to listen while on the bike training for my triathlon.
"Couldn't Make It To The Finish"
Another narrator. It's a subjective thing, but I couldn't stand the narrators voice, even after repeated tries. It was too passive and sort of whiny.
More emotion and less of a documentary angle.
No. Kirby's style and tone isn't a match for my ears.
Frustration because of the laid-back pacing of the story and Kirby's voice.
This audiobook has been the biggest disappointment yet.
"Very Inspiring"
I liked it because I don't seem to have a lot of time to sit down and read. It probably would have taken me months to finish the print version.
No favorite. All of the athletes were truly amazing.
The narration was great. He kept me wanting to hear more. I was sad when the book ended.
I would keep the book title as the tag line. You are an Ironman.
I would love to have more inspirational "true life" books to choose from. This book was the best I have heard/read in a very long time.
Book nerd for life!
"An Emotional Journey"
I'd listen to it again whenever I need that extra boost of motivation to get through anything requiring endurance.
The most memorable moment of You Are an Ironman were when I heard the announcer call each person the story follows an Ironman.
Hearing about the couple who met and spent quality time over training for the Ironman.
Each person's journey was moving.
Warning: May convince you to start training for 140.6 miles too ;)
Short and sweet reviews, Allentown pa
"good listen"
good stories by athletes, i appreciated that they were from all walks of life. the narrator sounded like he was going to fall asleep reading
"Awesome book, so-so narrator"
This book was incredibly motivating and inspiring. I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you've done a triathlon or not. It's incredible what perseverance it takes to go from start to finish, not only on the day of the event, but in the year leading up to it! This book shows that any average Joe can train for a triathlon. What an awesome sport!
I felt the narrator was slightly monotone. However, what truly drove me insane was the narrator mispronounced. "Triathlon" and all other words formed from that word EVERY time! It is pronounced "tri-ath-lon", NOT "tri-ath-A-lon".
Other than that, I really do recommend this book highly.
"Well done, well spoken"
I am also aspiring to complete an Ironman, in 2013, and I'm also a 'late bloomer' and a weekend warrior! Still... wasn't sure what to expect with these stories. Once started...couldn't stop listening. Excellent job by the narrator and compelling stories all around. As stated, not a training manual but clearly some tidbits are in there about training, mind control and racing strategies - to add to our own plans. Clearly worth the listen!
"Dry Narrator - But still motivating"
Motivation , long, interesting.
Realizing the sacrifice
Probably Not.
Story carries on a little long and about half way through you just want them to get on with it. It does motivate you to get out and work out though.

There was a time when most African American women didn't know who Yves St. Laurent was, let alone believe they could ever own a crisp YSL pantsuit.
But that was before Eunice W. Johnson.
Johnson, who died a little more than a year ago, spent more than 50 years introducing all things fashionable, fabulous, and fly to brown-skinned belles, first with her husband, John, by founding Ebony and Jet magazines, and then through her runway show, the Ebony Fashion Fair.
Billed as the world's largest traveling fashion show - in its heyday the extravaganza stopped in 170 cities - the show featured more than 200 over-the-top, colorful and avant-garde looks worn by black models at a time when African Americans were still banned from basic privileges like trying on department-store clothes. Over its lifetime, the Ebony Fashion Fair raised $55 million for African American charities.

Here's a quick and easy solution to that extremely annoying buzzing sound as a result of having your cell phone anywhere near your speakers. You know that ..."buzzz buzzz buzzzzzzzzzzzz" that happens every time you get a phone call, text message, or just at some random times. Makes you want to throw your phone! This is known to happen to users of Cingular/ AT&T and even Bell South/ Rogers with phones like the Razr, Tilt, iPhone, samsung blackjack, blackberry, treo, nokia, motorola phones, anything with an internal antenna. Even a greater occurrence is found on the east coast where the 850Mhz band is used frequently. Currently, there is no way to change the band that your phone uses from the phone itself.

Warren / AP Photo The windstorm that hit the region March 13 was a powerful one, to be sure. We were seeing wind gusts as fast as 70 miles per hour in some spots along the coast, with gusts up to 40 miles per hour inland. The National Weather Service was quoted recently comparing it with a hurricane, but KPLU weather expert Cliff Mass says "not so fast." Gusty enough to knock down ... branches? a restaurant? By Keith Seinfeld • Nov 11, 2011 The type of wind and rainstorm blowing into western Washington has done some amazing damage in the past. Weather expert Cliff Mass is not forecasting anything so huge this weekend, but we will get a "westerly wind surge," gusty enough to expect some power outages on Whidbey Island. Winds could gust to 50 or 60 miles per hour in some parts of the Strait of Juan de Fuca -- as a front from the north accelerates down the strait and barrels into Whidbey and the Everett area. Two examples that Mass recalls vividly: Batten down the hatches! High winds coming By Dave Meyer • Mar 1, 2011 MïK Watson (MïK) / flickr.com The National Weather Service has issued a high wind warning for the north and central Washington coast through Wednesday night. Be prepared for sustained winds of 25 to 40 mph with gusts of up to 60 mph. High winds can knock down trees and power lines.

Former FC Dallas coach Colin Clarke has been named the head coach of the USL-1's Puerto Rico Islanders, replacing Toribio Rojas, who will remain with the Islanders to work in their youth program.
Clarke is a former Northern Ireland international who has worked as a coach in MSL and the USL. He coached the Richmond Kickers and San Diego Flash and was hired to coach the Virginia Beach Mariners earlier this year before their dissolution. He had led Dallas to the MLS playoffs in each of his three seasons with the club.
Clarke will meet the players during practice scheduled for Wednesday morning at "La Islandera" and will be with the team on Thursday in Minnesota for the game to be played on Saturday.

Examining a position group that could exceed its preseason expectations:
There is reason to be optimistic about the Detroit Lions' backfield despite a two-game suspension for one prominent player and every-down concerns about another.
By the time Mikel Leshoure gets into a regular-season game, he'll have gone a full 13 months since rupturing his Achilles tendon. That's more than enough time to project him at 100 percent when his 2012 season begins.
Jahvid Best's concussion history always will be a concern, but the 14-game eligibility of Leshoure should give the Lions an opportunity to pick and choose their spots for Best's unique game-breaking skills. And if nothing else, veteran Kevin Smith proved last season that he can jump into the lineup and produce immediately on short notice.
The Lions would prefer to have fewer question marks and contingencies in their backfield, but it's not difficult to foresee more than adequate success.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Gov. Bobby Jindal signed into law a bill that prohibits students and other individuals from wearing or possessing body armor (such as bulletproof vests) on school grounds, on school buses, at school-sponsored events, in firearm-free zones and within 1,000 feet of school property.
Those who violate the law will receive a fine of up to $1,000, be imprisoned for six months to a year, or both.
The bill also stipulates that school officials must post a sign at school entries that outlines the consequences of violating the law.
If a school official confiscates body armor from a student, the incident must be reported to police. The principal must also immediately notify the student's parents.
School officials who fail to report such an incident within 72 hours of its occurrence could receive a fine of up to $500, be sentenced up to 40 hours of community service, or both.
The law will take effect on Aug. 15.

Live updates
First train arrives at new Ebbw Vale station
The new Ebbw Vale Town Station has officially opened today after the first train to arrive at the station pulled in this morning.
The station, which will serve Ebbw Vale town centre, is part of a £11.5m Welsh Government funded project which also includes an extension and speed improvements to the railway track.
It is located on the Ebbw Vale to Cardiff line and will be served by the existing hourly service, with the potential for additional services to be introduced in future.
The new station, delivered by Network Rail, features a brand new station building, 150m platform to fit up to 6 train carriages, car park, CCTV, customer information screens, waiting shelter, help point, ticket machines and bicycle storage.
The existing square will link the station to the main north-south bus routes and the mechanical link up to the town centre. New track has been installed extending the existing railway northwards from Ebbw Vale Parkway, through The Works and up to Ebbw Vale Town.
"This improvement to the Ebbw Vale line will build on the success of the re-opening in 2008 and the recent opening of the new station at Pye Corner. The extension into Ebbw Vale town, along with the new station, will help boost the local economy by making it easier for many more people to travel by train to access jobs, training and education."
Trains: Cardiff Central - Ebbw Vale Parkway
There are delays of up to 40 minutes on Arriva Trains Wales between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Parkway Because of a signalling problem at Crosskeys.
Public inquiry into Circuit of Wales plans
A public inquiry will be held in June, to consider plans for a £280m racing track in Blaenau Gwent.
The Planning Inspectorate says the planning inquiry will start on 24 June, with its inspector writing a recommendation over whether the development should go ahead.
Developers say the track will create thousands of jobs, and bring 750,000 visitors to the area each year - but there has been controversy over environmental concerns.
Says Kate Ashbrook, from the Open Spaces Society, said: 'We objected most strongly to this ugly and intrusive development on a substantial area of common land. We are pleased that, in the light of the objections, the Planning Inspectorate has resolved that there should be a public inquiry."
Race course giant writes to PM over Circuit of Wales
The bosses of the giant Silverstone racecourse have written to the Prime Minister challenging plans for public money to support a multi-million-pound race track near Ebbw Vale. They've claimed that requests for public sector cash to help the Circuit of Wales project could be illegal.
The company behind the scheme, Heads of the Valleys Development wants to create 6,000 jobs on the site. They said any application for support would be in line with existing policy and procedure. Ruth Wignall spoke to motoring journalist Ed Foster about the dispute.
Man dies in Ebbw Vale crash
A 23-year-old man has died following a crash in Ebbw Vale in the early hours of this morning.
Gwent Police say the collision, involving a blue MG car, happened on Beaufort Hill, Beaufort, at around 12.50am.
The man, from Abertillery, was the only occupant of the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses are being asked to call 101 quoting log 29 09/02/14.
U-Turn in fortunes for road sign business
A company that was once on the verge of closing has now become so successful it has taken on 15 more staff. Monwel Limited in Ebbw Vale has seen a dramatic change in its fortunes over the last 3 years. Megan Boot has been finding out the secret of its success.
Work to start on Circuit of Wales
Work is due to start on the £280m Circuit of Wales near Ebbw Vale before the end of the year.
The Heads of the Valleys Company, which is leading the project, says agreement's been reached with Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council on its planning application.
Backers say it'll be able host international motor events and includes a 3.5 mile track as well as a Motocross and Karting track and off-road driving facilities.
It's estimated that 750,000 people will visit the facility each year and it's expected to generate £50m a year for the Welsh economy.
Developers say an anticipated 3,000 new jobs will be created during the construction phase, with approximately 6,000 new jobs once the development is complete.
Developers 'await' Welsh Govt call-in decision
The company behind plans to build a race track in Blaenau Gwent says it is "pleased to have reached a positive outcome" after discussions with Natural Resources Wales - and is now waiting for the Welsh Government's decision on whether to call in the proposals.
Throughout the planning process we've been committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure we address, as much as possible, the specific concerns they have.
After ongoing discussions with Natural Resources Wales we are pleased to have reached a positive outcome and await further news once the Welsh Government has had sufficient time to consider the responses from stakeholders.
Environmental body withdraws race track objections
Environmental body Natural Resources Wales has withdrawn its objections to plans to build a £280m race track near Ebbw Vale, and told the Welsh Government that it does not need to call in the development for scrutiny.
The proposal for the Circuit of Wales was given outline planning permission by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council last month.
Two weeks ago, the Welsh Government stepped in to put progress on hold, asking for time to consider whether it needed to call in the plans for its own consideration.
Natural Resources Wales had previously registered concerns about the planned circuit's impact on important habitat for wildlife, the loss of peat from the area, and the impact on the Brecon Beacons National Park, which borders the site.
The environmental body now says it has had "detailed discussions" with developers, and identified specific work, which would need to be included in planning conditions, to mitigate against those concerns. It will continue to work with developers.
Graham Hillier from Natural Resources Wales said: "We have always recognised the importance of this development for the local community. Equally, we would have failed in our statutory duties if we had not raised the concerns about the impact this proposed development could have on the environment."
"Following lengthy discussion with the developers, we have agreed how the potential impacts of this development could be mitigated and the scheme can progress."
Race-track boss: 'We are confident in the plans'
The company behind the plans for the 'Circuit of Wales' race-track say they will work with the Welsh Government to overcome any concerns about the development.
We are very confident in the outline planning application we have submitted and are delighted that we received the unanimous backing of Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council in today's vote. The Welsh Government has asked for more time to look at the project and we're happy to continue engaging with them and all stakeholders to ensure we address, as much as possible, the specific concerns they have.

As natural birthing mamas, each one of us has big plans about what will and won't happen during our births. We have hopes, expectations, and dreams about following our own intuition, letting nature take its course, and learning about our bodies and babies through this primal and life-changing event.
But no matter how educated, strong, and passionate about natural birth a mom is, medical complications can come up. Thank goodness we have doctors, midwives, and hospitals for those situations when it's medically necessary. Or, during labor you may make unexpected decisions about what you want that weren't what you planned. Later on you may have some regret. Labor and delivery is a time when a woman is vulnerable, suggestible, and may need support she didn't plan on. People attending the birth (staff or family and friends) may say or do unhelpful things that lead you to feel hurt physically and emotionally.
Please feel welcome to continue posting on our board even if you had medical interventions or made unexpected decisions during birth. This board is about an attitude towards birth, not what did or didn't happen during a specific birth. And while much of the world may say "who cares, you got a healthy baby, didn't you? Forget it!" Here on Birthing Naturally we are not going to forget it, we understand perhaps more than others that the mom and birthing experience are important and valuable too.
In this thread we invite you to share your healing process with us as you deal with your birth experience in the postpartum days. Despite the arrival of a beautiful baby, you may have anger or grief about the birth itself. Even a good birth can have parts that leave you feeling disappointed. Here is a place to express your feelings, get sympathy, and know that even if your birth wasn't 100% how you envisioned it, that doesn't change that you are a natural birthing mama.
Please only post responses about dealing with your own experience in this thread. Comments to improve it or support someone should go in a separate posting.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
What happened during your birth?
What went wrong?
How did you feel about it?
What hurt the most?
How did you cope?
Who helped you?
Who was no help at all?
Who would you punch in the face if you could?
Did you have a would've could've should've moment?
What did you do that you're proud of?
What would you tell other women to warn them?
What do you wish you'd known ahead of time?
How can you come out of this feeling that you grew from this experience?
Suggested activities:
Talk with your doctor or midwife
Talk with supportive friends or family
Keep a journal about your experience, not just what happened but also your feelings
Make some art based on your experience
Sing, chant, or say prayers to aid your deep processing
Make an affirmation towards your healing
Take action within your community

Dr Davidson, a former commissioner of public health for western Australia, provides an exhaustively detailed account of the history of leprosy in the region compiled from the files of the Public Health Department of Western Australia. He traces the probable introduction of the disease into this area by pearling boat crews from Southeast Asia or by Chinese. After initial cases among Chinese in the 1890s, the disease appeared in aborigines, a susceptible population, among whom the current prevalence of the disease in western Australia varies from 9.5 to 62.5 per thousand.
A sympathetic account of the social impact of the disease and the considerable favorable impact of the opening of the leprosarium at Derby is provided. Profiles of the principal medical workers of the area are given as well as a wealth of amusing bureaucratic entanglements concerning such things as fees and contracts for transportation of patients, mandatory submerging of

Rob Godfrey, a spokesman for the governor, said Wednesday that Geoff Sandifer used state-owned kitchen appliances, linens, serving utensils and a computer for a side business and that the matter has been reported to the State Ethics Commission. Godfrey said the governor's office discovered the use of state resources after looking into the matter because of AP's inquiries.
The AP reviewed 2,000 pages of e-mail and other documents produced in response to a Freedom of Information request. The e-mails show an aide to Haley's husband, Michael, who oversees the mansion, recruited business for Sandifer, while Sandifer made it a point to play up his role as the governor's chef when courting clients.
The records also show Sandifer routinely used his e-mail account to conduct and recruit business day and night. Godfrey said there's no indication Sandifer used food ordered on the Governor Mansion accounts.
Godfrey said Sandifer "has been ordered to stop using any state resources to conduct any non-state business. Additionally, he is no longer catering on mansion grounds and he will fully reimburse the state for the cost of using state resources."
The 31-year-old Sandifer, who reports to Michael Haley, now has to get approval before doing outside catering work, Godfrey said.
Godfrey wouldn't make Sandifer or Emily Brandenburg, the mansion complex coordinator who referred business to Sandifer, available for interviews. Sandifer didn't respond to an e-mail or phone messages Wednesday.
State Ethics Commission Executive Director Herb Hayden said state ethics laws bar people from using their public position for financial gain for themselves or businesses with which they're associated. That includes using e-mail accounts.
Hayden said that each event Sandifer handled could bring a $2,000 fine if the work generated $50 or more for him or his business.

Hello high road I finally got the rifle I have wanted for a long time, my fal so far Im impressed, it looks really sharp and I like the way It feels, I thought I had the wrong mag at first and read it rocks into place like the ak mags do, and now I have questions of course , there is a gun show in town and I might go, what is the best ammo to feed it , just good , accurate and "relatively" affordable ammo, as well as mags, and is there anything I might want to know about my new rifle? , thanks for all the info, and is it normal to have a little play between upper and lower receivers , just a little , all info appreciated thanks.:)
