With superior stretch, comfort, support and Polygiene® permanent odor control, our Velocity Running Tights are perfect for cool- and cold-weather trail runs. Details: stretch envelope pockets at hips, envelope pocket with secure key loop at center back. Fabric is bluesign™ approved.
Polygiene® odor control permanently protects your garments from smelling like a middle school locker room. Sweat itself is odorless, but it creates the conditions that bacteria need to multiply, and some of those bacteria produce odors. Polygiene permanent odor control stops the growth of odor-causing bacteria on fabrics, so you can wear more and wash less.
Active only on the fabric surface, Polygiene permanent odor control does not interfere with perspiration or with the skin's natural bacterial flora. Polygiene particles are more than 100 times larger than nanoparticles and therefore are too large to penetrate to the skin's barrier. Polygiene-treated fabrics have received Medical Class 1 approval in Europe, the same class that includes bandages.
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that's bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

My DS is 4 months old and I just bought my first pump and I just got the Medela Harmony hand pump.
I borrowed a pump from the hospital the first few weeks, and then borrowed a PIS from a good friend after that because I had issues with oversupply and mastitis and had to EP for a week because of a medicine I was on. Anyway, I am getting ready to move, so I had to return her pump to her and made the decision to get just a hand pump because I only need to pump occasionally.
I got it in the mail and just tried it out - I don't think it's easy to use at all! I think the handle is awkward to hold and I certainly don't see myself being able to pump with one hand...
Does anyone else have this pump?? Is there some trick I am missing??

Man faces charges for hunting incidentBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | December 05,2012BENNINGTON A Woodford Road resident is facing criminal charges after police said they believed he leaned across the front seat of a truck and fired out the window at a deer on Nov. 24.
Joshua P. Hayes, 21, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment, using an illegal method of taking game and failure to take big game. Hayes pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
Hayes was also charged with four counts of violating his probation from four charges in four different cases.
In July 2011, Hayes pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and being a minor in possession of alcohol and no contest to a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of a crash which caused property damage. In December 2011, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of unlawful trespass.
Hayes was placed on probation in all four of the cases.
In an affidavit, Josh Hungerford, a game warden with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, said he was contacted by the Vermont State Police dispatcher on Nov. 24. Hungerford said he was told that a caller had reported someone shooting from the road around 11 a.m. that day.
The caller was able to provide the license plate of the sports utility vehicle from which the shot came.
Hungerford said he and Officer Lawrence Cole, of the Bennington Police Department, spotted the SUV and Cole initiated a traffic stop.
According to the affidavit, Hayes was driving the SUV and a large, six-pointed, antlered, white tail deer was in the back tagged with a Vermont bear tag.
Hungerford said when Hayes showed his hunting license, the bear tag had been removed but the buck tag was still affixed to the license.
Hayes denied shooting the deer from the SUV or from the road.
Later that day, Hungerford spoke to area residents who allegedly heard the shot and saw two men leaving the SUV and running into the woods.
Hungerford said he spoke with the man who called in the complaint on Nov. 25. The man said he had been driving on South Stream Road when he heard the shot.
In the affidavit, Hungerford said the man told him he immediately looked toward the SUV and saw the gun barrel being coming up from the drivers side window. He said a man matching Hayes description was in the passenger seat and an older man was driving.
The man complained to Hungerford that the shooter did not seem to be paying attention to other drivers and could have shot him.
The carelessness taken by Hayes while in use of a firearm put not only himself but the operator of his vehicle and other motorists in extreme danger. When leaning across the drivers seat from the passenger seat to take the shot, Hayes limited his field of view tremendously, Hungerford said.

A Headline From 5 Years In The Future: Friendshake 6.0 — The Stalkanator
Today, Facebook has released the app you've all been waiting for: Friendshake 6.0. Of course, it lets you know which friends are nearby, but it also has these wonderful NEW FEATURES.
* It lets you know your friends are armed.
* Whether they are isolated.
* Whether anyone can hear them scream.
* Whether there is a convenient body drop off point like a lake or gravel quarry nearby.
* And of course, it adds their subdual rating, which lets you know your chances of disabling them.
Ok, this has been a SLIGHT exaggeration based on Friendshake, Foursquare, and the new zeal people seem to have about letting everyone know exactly where they are right this second.
Maybe I have a skewed view of reality because I have more than 5,000 Facebook Friends and over 80,000 Twitter followers (johnhawkinsrwn and rightwingnews) to go along with a profession that guarantees I get death threats and emails from crazy people, but this just doesn't seem safe to me.
That cute little 21 year college student who goes to the same school you do? "She" might actually be an overmuscled, 6'6′ serial rapist. Or the next Craigslist killer. Or your psycho ex-boyfriend. Or someone who wants to beat you to death with a tire iron for calling him a dork last week.
My guess is that people will begin to figure out it's unsafe when people start to die. That's just a matter of time at this point.

- Title
- Dissipative transformation of nonnucleated dwarf galaxies into nucleated systems
- Author(s)
- Bekki, Kenji; Couch, Warrick J.; Shioya, Yasuhiro
- Abstract
- Recent photometric observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the physical properties of stellar galactic nuclei in nucleated dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. In order to elucidate the formation processes of nucleated dwarfs, we numerically investigate gasdynamics, star formation, and chemical evolution within the central 1 kpc of gas disks embedded within the galactic stellar components of nonnucleated dwarfs. We find that high-density, compact stellar systems can be formed in the central regions of dwarfs as a result of dissipative, repeated merging of massive stellar and gaseous clumps developed from nuclear gaseous spiral arms as a consequence of local gravitational instability. The central stellar components are found to have stellar masses that are typically 5% of their host dwarfs' and show very flattened shapes, rotational kinematics, and central velocity dispersions significantly smaller than those of their host dwarfs. We also find that more massive dwarfs can develop more massive, more metal-rich, and higher density stellar systems in their central regions, because star formation and chemical enrichment proceed more efficiently owing to the less dramatic suppression of star formation by supernova feedback effects in more massive dwarfs. Based on these results, we suggest that gas-rich, nonnucleated dwarfs can be transformed into nucleated ones as a result of dissipative gasdynamics in their central regions. We discuss the origin of the observed correlations between physical properties of stellar galactic nuclei and those of their host galaxies.

I learned a new word the other day. The word is "selfie." A "selfie" is self-portrait photograph, most often taken by a camera phone. It is very popular on social networking sites and the word has gained such universal usage that the publishers of the Oxford Dictionary have declared "selfie" as the "Word of the Year" for 2013. Apparently I have obliviously communicated throughout this year without a single usage of this indispensable word until recently. I feel so fatuous.
This word now joins previous 2012 "Word of the Year" winner, "omnishambles." (Definition: a situation that has been horribly mismanaged, as in, "This column is a complete omnishambles because the copy editors changed my title.") And we cannot forget Sarah Palin's inventive blend of "refute" and "repudiate" to come up with "refudiate," which claimed most popular word in 2010. ("I pressed an F instead of a P and people freaked out," she replied, as a nation of keyboard users keenly observed that the F and P keys are not nearly as close as Alaska is to Russia.)
But, back to the word "selfie." When I shared it and its definition with my wife, she observed, "Michael, you have been taking selfies since I met you." That prompted us to take a tour of our photograph albums, and, sure enough, I discovered that a multitude of selfies I took were sprinkled throughout our photos.
Now, a selfie can include one person or several, depending upon the length of one's arm. I have a selfie of myself as a teenager sporting my Beatle hairdo as I looked, I must say, very Paul McCartney-like. There's a selfie of my wife and me on one of our first dates as we hung out at a '60s coffee house sharing a bottle of RC Cola. And, of course, there are several selfies of our four kids and me, much to their usual utter embarrassment.
So, sure, I have taken my share of selfies. But there's something different about the selfies of today. Our selfies are nestled discreetly in our family photo albums. Today's selfies are posted on the Internet for the whole world to see. Some psychologists suggest that chronic selfie-snappers are simply a reflection of today's self-absorbed culture. And I think they may have a point.
You see, back in the day, there was less attention and interest in self. For example, someone once made interesting observations about the evolution of magazines. Years ago Life magazine was the most popular periodical because that's what we were interested in: life. Whether plant or animal or human, show us glimpses of the life around us and we loved it.
But as times changed, so did our interests. Life magazine gave way to People magazine. No longer did we want to see life, we just wanted to see people. Then came Us magazine. Sure, we still were interested in people, but only in us, not them. Years later Self magazine hit the shelves. Forget about other people, we just want ourselves.
Watching the change of cultural focus from life to people to us to self may well help explain why selfies are now the rage. It makes you wonder when they'll publish a magazine that simply contains a mirror, so when you open it, all you see is yourself. Then you can take a selfie of your reflection and post it on Facebook.
So I guess selfies are here to stay. By the way, just to let you know, the photo of me for my column was actually a selfie I took long before I even knew it was a selfie. However, as a disclaimer, I must tell you that any striking resemblance to Paul McCartney is purely unintentional.

Sometimes in July
It happens on a regular basis, this gathering of young talent and grizzled veterans. The two sides (with input from the people of course because, after all, this is America) pull the brightest stars from their respective firmaments, bring them together and then allow them duke it out. And it seems like each time the result plays an increasingly ambiguous role in what eventually happens in November. Yep, that's what the nominating conventions are all about.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think I was talking about the All-Star game?
It's no coincidence that baseball and politics have so much in common. The two are intertwined in American history. Even now, Hall of Famer and former Detroit Tiger Jim Bunning terrorizes opponents from his seat in the US Senate just like he used to do from his spot on the mound.
And as I was watching the Minor League All-Star game the other day, I was reminded again of how fleeting fame can be to both baseball players and politicians. Each and every one is fighting for a chance to reach the big time, to really stand out. But it's hard to know who has what it takes.
A year ago there was talk of Mark Sanford as a possible McCain running mate and it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would be in the thick of things when the next election cycle began. Now, he's an also-ran, an afterthought, a cautionary tale. A teary-eyed Alex Rodriguez but with no more comeback.
Or take Sarah Palin, the politician's equivalent of Sammy Sosa. Both had talent but made it as far as they did for all the wrong reasons. Now they're little more than whipping boys, examples of all that's wrong with a broken system.
However, it's better to focus on the positives at this time of year, on people like Brandon Inge and Tim Wakefield who finally got a little respect even if things didn't play out exactly the way they might have hoped. Because, for all the ridiculousness associated with the All-Star game or with political conventions, they really are a good show and you aren't going to find anything like 'em except in the good ol' US of A.
Welcome back from the All-Star break!

My break hasn't ended yet. The Yankees are off until Friday, so I get another day to actually have a life!
I cant wait until tonight when the game comes on! I dont know why I'm so excited, but I am. http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/
Oh, I wouldn't count Sarah Palin out just yet. Lots of people still like her, after all. She's real purrty.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Still have another day off before my guys are back at it! I may have to break down an watch the Dodgers game tonight.
American Political Conventions are way more fun than Canadian ones.
Sarah Palin(PILF), like Erin Andrews(BILF), are nice to look at, but I wouldn't want either one of them in the White House(POTUSILF?).
Ya, I'm glad wakefeild is finally getting some respect, he's been around forever
I too have another night off before I go back to chewing finger nails and pounding my head! Oh – and drinking heavily! lol!!
I'm quite excited that the All Star break is over. I'm ready to see my team back in action. It is nice to see Wakefield get some attention, I feel like that guy could pitch forever.
Bunning's a HOFer. If there were a HOF for politicians, I don't think anyone would be clean enough to get in.
I went to the AA All-Star game on Weds. and yeah, some of these kids look amazing, but who really knows? It's a total crap shoot if you ask me :O)
Hahaha🙂 Well, actually they helped us win one of our games. Shin-Shoo-Choo hit a single & it hit one of the Gulls, which bounced off of it at an angle, so the other team couldn't field it & we won. x) It was quite funny!
But the midges probably should go somewhere.
For now, I like the seagulls.

The Filibuster
So, it looks like we'll watch the playoffs from the sidelines this year
since both of our teams decided to nosedive in the second half. Which
teams' failure is the most discouraging, though, the Tigers or the
Tigers fan
A clever move from my sinister and oft pejorative colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, inserting himself into the Filibuster box by stuffing it with this one question, over and over and over again. I guess some part of Mr. Krause is looking for sympathy in the wake of yet another disappointing season in Detroit; because anyone with any sort of baseball awareness knows that the greater discouragement between these two teams most assuredly belongs to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Hell, up to a few weeks ago we were all buzzing about how the Cards could just mail it in for the NL Central title. How could they not?!? A team anchored by two of the best pitchers in the game (Wainwright, Carpenter), flanked by serious ROY candidate Jaime Garcia, a solid Jake Westbrook… and I haven't even gotten to the offense centered around Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday… a team like this… it screams playoffs.
So how is it that they are dead?
Lack of motivation. Sense of entitlement. Clubhouse squabbling. Streakiness. The absence of a clear, dominating, team leader.
Really, that's what it comes down to.
Meanwhile, the 2010 edition of the Tigers never had a chance to begin with. Outside of Justin Verlander (who struggled early on), their pitching was a complete mess (Dontrelle Willis anyone?). They started two rookies in Austin Jackson and Scott Sizemore… and at the very last minute they signed a less-than-stellar Johnny Damon to… well, to do what, I don't really know. His non-impact did the talking. Or not. Depending on how you look at it.
So, Mr. Krause, of course the Cardinals' 2010 fail remains more epic (as the kids iz sayin') than your disastrous Detroit Tigers, who are apt to see Jimmy Leyland walk away after the season, so that he can spend more quality time smoking… and… smoking.
But not all hope is lost for the RSBS universe. The Rays and Rangers look like fun teams to root for in the postseason, and let us not forget… Mr. Krause still has a horse in this race:
Hate me 'cuz I got people who can extract sensitive information, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Something on your mind? Want to see Jeff and Al sweat (separately, not together, eww)? Think you got a real stumper? Send us your Filibuster question(s) by commenting or emailing them to us at email@example.com.
***Pics of Mr. Krause declaring his love for Albert Pujols & Co. also welcome. I have a hunch…
2 Comments
Allen, the Tigers fan, loves a Twin? Will wonders never cease? Sorry about the Cardinals. I know everybody expected them to win the division and even the whole thing. Very disappointing for you!
Seems like the Cardinals just couldn't get out of their own way for so long, then finally tripped and fell and gave the Reds a lead in that division.
Sad to see either the Tigers or Cards not fighting for a spot right now. Detroit has a duo of Austin Jackson and Brian Boesch who show that Motown has the bite in 2011 to contend, but that doesn't help September in Detroit right now.
Both have great pitching staffs,but lacked something cohesive to bond them and the offense together to produce solid wins. The end of February seems to far away right now, but for each of these teams October also seems far in the distance, and that is a shame!
But I understand the plight…..Rays had 10-straight losing seasons.

Dante J. Germanotta
Class Year:1951
Wall of Witness Award Winner 2006
The late Dante J. Germanotta '51 (1929-2004) was recognized by North Central College for his life of commitment to social justice causes and higher education during Homecoming Weekend.
His widow, Marybeth "Betsy" Erdman '51, accepted his award.
"The Wall of Witness in Kiekhofer Hall is intended to recognize and honor alumni of the College or the Evangelical Theological Seminary whose lives embody the values — and the commitment to principled leadership, justice and service — which reflect our mission as an institution," said President Harold Wilde. "We felt Dante would be both an ideal first recipient and the person to set the standard for the award."
Those who nominated Germanotta emphasized his extraordinary life experiences and passion for social causes.
"Dante represents the highest example of the kind of dedicated service ... that North Central encouraged and prepared students for in the 1940s and 1950s, which is still instilled in its students today," wrote Leota Buss '51 Ester.
Geramanotta came to North Central College to follow in his father's footsteps and become a minister. After graduation, he married his college sweetheart, Marybeth, and entered Evangelical Theological Seminary. He became a minister in a small rural Wisconsin church but he desired a way to make a difference in the world.
Over his lifetime, he demonstrated a devotion to a variety of social justice causes in Massachusetts, Ohio and the American South. During the Civil Rights Movement, he taught at a predominantly black college in South Carolina, lived in an African-American neighborhood, registered black voters and became active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In 1968, Germanotta received a doctorate in sociology and social ethics from Boston University and moved to Defiance, Ohio. There he took up the plight of Hispanic migratory workers. A move back to Massachusetts to teach sociology at Curry College allowed him to build upon an earlier interest in prison ministry. He implemented a degree program because he believed inmates could lead useful lives after they were released, and he built an international reputation as an advocate for prisoners' rights.
"I knew he would champion the cause of the disenfranchised and underprivileged, and indeed he did, as the list of his achievements so forcefully reveals," wrote Bill Senn '51.

Nintendo Land is a video game by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development which is published by Nintendo specifically for the Wii U.
This game is a set around a theme or carnival atmosphere with its main purpose being demonstrating the functionality of Wii U along with Wii U gamepad. It is basically the same concept that Wii sports showed the functionality of Wii and the Wii Remote.
Nintendo Land Wii U – Part 1 – Captain Falcon's Twister Race & Zelda Battle Quest
This is my 1080p HD playthrough with live commentary of Nintendo Land for the Nintendo Wii U! In this video we try out the game for the first time and do Captain Falcon's Twister Race and Zelda Battle Quest! Make sure to leave a "LIKE" and a comment …
Nintendo is looking to deliver the same unmitigated sensation Wii sports achieved and hence has delivered a minigame collection. This shows off various systems' core functionalities answering the question whether it is a quality release as a standalone. Most minigame collections employ a menu screen to allow the player select the particular game they want but Nintendo Land also offers an elaborate gateway that is in form of a plaza. Each gate represents a particular attraction and a tower where a player can play pachinko game with coins earned from playing the minigames.
Image via Flickr
This game has 12 total attractions which are divided into three types i.e. team attractions, competitive attractions and solo attractions. Team attractions involve minigames in which players have to cooperate in a number of ways although one can play alone too i.e. Metroid Blast, Legend Of Zelda and Pikmin Adventure. They are the largest and expansive attractions in the game with up to 5 multiplayers.
Competitive attractions involve minigames in which a single player holding the gamepad purses or is pursued by other players. These games have at least 2 players and a max of 5 such as Mario chase, Animal Crossing and Luigi's Ghost Mansion. Solo attractions involve minigames that only a single player can play i.e. Yoshi's Fruit cart, Octopus Dance, Donkey Kong's Crash Course.
The gaming community has received Nintendo Land very well with it ranking an average rating of 4.5 stars on GameXplain. It has been referred to as the best multiplayer game Nintendo has released yet.
Review: Nintendo Land – Destructoid
The Wii U GamePad is a lot more versatile than it looks. Some potential consumers have not been quite as inspired by the system as they were by the immediate uniqueness of the Wii and its remote …

Sweet T Makes History in Front of Me
7/22/09 D-Backs vs Rockies Game 3
Sweet come from behind justice today on those D-Backs.
Honestly some baseball games are boring and you're glad when they're over and some games you wish would would never end.
This one was the later, I didn't want to leave.
If you know anything about me or my blog Todd Helton can do no wrong here on the Rant. I like all of the Rockies but Todd is my guy.
Today was his day, he owned it and I was able to witness it. The initial words that come to mind are "F*CK YEAH".
Here's a picture of Todd at bat in the third inning. You all know what happened next.
Check out the guy in the yellow shirt just to Todd's right. Guess he "picked" the right game to be at 🙂
So did Mylee and I, but you don't have to wash your hand after you shake mine.
We arrived at Coors half-an hour after the gates had opened. Not because I wanted to arrive fashionably late but because I haven't quite mastered the Nederland to Coors Field drive time.
I'm still trying to figure out the exact equation to use to calculate the "Tourist"(also known as gapers) factor into my scenic mountain drive.
As Mylee and I entered the first row of the pavilion batting practice was in full force and the D-backs were scattered all over the outfield. Although not a D-backs fan whatsoever, I'd like to give props to one player who tossing baseballs to all different parts of the stadium just for sh*ts and giggles.
Here he is tossing a ball into the seats.
This guy probably tossed ten baseballs into random parts that have never seen a baseball before.
Mylee and I watched him toss one into the Rockpile meant for a specific kid.
It rolled all the way down to the front and some pot-bellied goofy looking older guy picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket. The player who tossed it up yelled for the guy to give it to the kid, but the funny shaped guy just stood there with a blank look on his inconsiderate face and played dumb.
So what did the D-Backs player do? Well he tossed up another baseball and the intended recipient snagged it that time.
Extremely cool and something you don't see all that much. The D-backs were acting really confident as if they were on top of the world
I wasn't digg'n on that too much. If you want to be cocky and confident be that way in your own stadium.
The D-Backs suck at hitting batting practice homers and It looked like Mylee and I were on our way to a shutout today. On a seriously cool note, right before the D-backs left the field one of them walked up and handed Mylee a ball.
I would love tell you these players names but a lot of the D-backs had their names and numbers covered. Sorry D-backs, I don't have time or enough brain cells left to memorize your entire roster or any teams entire roster for that matter.
We both thanked him.
After he gave Mylee the ball I noticed something weird on the fence in front of me. Check it out, you might want to shield your childrens eyes.
I'm not sure but I think these two dragonflys are "doing it" and taking in a ball game at the same time. How romantic is that?
It's either that or this kinky fence thing is a dragonfly's version of a 69.
What a great idea…sex and baseball…we all could learn from bugs 🙂
That was it, BP was over and Mylee and I went for a walk to see what was to be seen. When we noticed the huge crowd beside the Rockies dugout we decided to skip autographs and started looking for a shady spot to sit, relax and wait for the game to start.
Did I mention that it was HOT today? Holy heatstroke man, I now know what bacon feels like.
I noticed that usually in the 8th inning when there is a pitching change they play a Rockies clip of the Rockies making catches and shots of fans from previous games. I recently found out that I'm in that clip along with Robert. It's for a brief second but you can clearly see Robert and I. It's a shot from when Robert caught Spilborghs homer earlier this season.
Here's the video, if you pause it you can see us around the 45-46 second mark.
Seeing that brief shot of the old man and me on the big screen made my day.
Mylee and I had great seats today (Thanks R-Luv) in the pavilion. Dan was kind and hooked Mylee up with a booster seat so she could see over the railing, thanks Dan.
I called my buddy Chuck to verify he would be at the house warming this weekend and also because I had a strange feeling he was at this game.
He answered and said "Hey I was just thinking about you". I said "Funny, I was just thinking about you".
I mentioned in a bragging sort of way about the great seats Mylee and I were sitting in for this game. Chuck informed us he was acting as the host for a group of people today who had rented a suite.
Here's a shot of Chuck looking at me from his fancy suite from behind home plate.
Chuck came down and visited us in the front row for a while.
And in the 8th inning he called me and invited us up to visit the air-conditioned suite. Here's a shot of us after the game.
The best thing about the suite other than the shade is the free peanuts, you can't beat that. Other than that, I'd rather be in the pavilion trying to catch a home run ball.
Ok the view is pretty sweet too. When the game was over we watched the stadium empty out. Let me just say this, the atmosphere at Coors was electric and I was thrilled to be part of it.
Lets go backwards a bit.
Ok, it's the third inning and Todd Helton walks up to the plate. I'm thinking, should I bust out my camera? Reality hits me and I realize that any of Todd's future at bats could be the big one and if I'm not ready, I'll miss the historic moment.
I whipped my camera out just as Todd took his stance at the plate. Here is a shot just after he hit the baseball. Look at the dude in the blue shirt to Heltons right shoulder in this picture. The baseball looks like it's stuck to his glasses.
At first it looked like he hit a home run but it wasn't long before I realized this was gonna be it. This was going to be his 500th double and I scrambled to get a shot of Todd reaching second base.
I managed to get the picture just as Todd is touching the bag, it was perfect. I remember looking over at Dan and mumbling something about he did it.
Here's the picture I've been bragging about.
Here is the video of the Coors Field aftermath.
In my opinion Helton is one of the most humble baseball players out there. It wasn't hard to tell by his stance that all he wanted to do was keep the game going. I heard he didn't even want second base after they removed it and kept it for him.
Todd said he didn't have a place to put it…That is humble.
Sorry Todd, you deserve this buddy. This city respects the hell out of you and whether you wanted it or not, you got your well deserved props on "your" day.
This game had the perfect baseball ending. In the 8th inning with the game tied 3-3 Helton hits a walk off home run and wins the game for the home crowd. It's like it was meant to be.
Here are some of the pictures I took of this game, please enjoy.
Rockies All-Star Brad Hawpe. It looks like he's hitting Tulo in the face with his bat.
Clint Barmes really reaching.

Glad to hear you guy Todd had a great game! Can't wait to see the pics and hear the story tomorrow.
Yup, today's game ROCKED. Almost takes away the memory of last night's debacle. I said, "almost". LOL
SO proud of Todd!!
I was at the game too — but I wasn't in the stands to witness it😦 — I was working at the game, I'm coming to Sat's game for photos R you & ur kids comin' 2?
BTW: I met the girl with the pink cowgirl hat who has an MLBlog here (I forgot the title) today as I was heading down the ramp from gate E to Dock 6 (where we go to sign in/out) for 2nd call meeting w/Earl. Her father was nice and she was still cute in person although she wasn't wearing her cowgirl hat.Missyhttp://rocktober-2007.mlblogs.com
Todd Helton sure had one great game, and his 500th career double, now that's so much fun seeing history in person too. The Rockies are sure to make this a fun wild Card race, and if they can get better they can sure put some pressure on the LA Dodgers too.
Matthew T
Don – I hear that the Rockies have asked Mike Timlin to come back for a second look and that they might sign him. I miss him!
Hey D,
I'm glad that you went to this game. Helton is amazing and it's so cool that you got to see him get his 500th double and the winning homerun. It would have been fun to go but I'm glad you got to be there.
GINNY-Sorry to tease, I'll have the entry up Friday night.
LUVMYROX-Agreed, at least we won the series🙂.
MISSY-I'll be at Sunday's game. Emily's blog is called Dinger's Best Friend and she is a sweetheart.
MATTHEW-Welcome to the Rant, get used to this brotha, the Rockies are going to overtake the Dodgers and win the World Series this year. You heard it here first.
JULIA-Nice, he must be a cool guy then.
R-LUV-Thanks again my friend…D
Hey all, misplaced my memory card in my messy truck but I've since found it. I'll have this late entry up tonight…D
I have to mention that the coverpage for MLBlogs has been Manny for a few days. They put this up instead of Helton's 500th double. That my friends is SAD.
Somebodies priorities are fuc*ked up. Thats right, promote the drug abusing cheater and ignore Helton's accomplishment. It's not the fans that are messed up its the media promoting the wrong agenda.
This really upsets me…Again, no love for the Rockies…D
Don- I wasn't at the game, but I saw the 500th career double on TV. I was stoked for Helton, what an amazing feat for him. Watching someone who hasn't used PEDs achieve such a milestone makes you proud to be a fan of theirs.
Great shots. I especially like the one of Helton getting into 2nd. Neat that you got to hit one of the suites. I've never gotten into one. I gotta get rich one of these days…
Who knew Dragonflies were so kinky? As always, you cover the game completely.
I love your pictures, the dragonfiles were funny. See, you never know where there is a perfect shot. Good luck to your Rockies. I'd like nothing better than a close exciting race.
Only you could find two dragonflies performing whoopie at a baseball game.
Still, sounds like you had your usual great time, and also got some free peanuts.
What is it about peanuts at a game that is so great?
Not sure, but it is always a great $4 spent. I do not know if you guys have this style, but in our stadium now they are selling Cajun peanuts that have just the right kick of spices and hotness.
Makes even a soda go down fantastic.
Glad to see the Toddfather is rewarding the fans with great hits and experiences again.
Keep you head up, the playoffs are just 60 plus games away.
Rays Renegade
RAYSREN-Agreed, you've got to have peanuts at a game. I 've got a thing for cinnamon roasted cashews. Helton is a class act working his way to the Hall of Fame.
EMMA-Thanks, gonna be fun huh? It will be one helluva race.
RAYSFANBOY-You and me both. Guess we spend too much time blogging and there is no money in it.
EMILY-Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy…D
D – Those are great pics! Wish mine turned out that well! And the dragon flies are priceless…the things you see that the ballpark…LOL!
It is a shame that people don't spend more time talking about Helton. He is just incredible. I think only the NL West fans know truly how lucky you are!!!

Let's uncover a few Back Pain Myths and start with some information you must know...
Pain Is Only a Symptom
Pain. It's a powerful word that creates strong feelings.
Think back to the last time you experienced pain. If you're
like most people, you probably remember some event that
caused it—a paper cut, a sprained ankle, or a skinned knee.
Most people believe that back pain operates the same
way - that it's caused by some isolated event. They "throw
out" their backs, for instance, experience pain, and then have
a back-pain problem. Since the pain happened rather
suddenly, they imagine that if they can get rid of the pain,
they'll get rid of the problem.
Like many things in life, the real story is more
complicated. Back pain is just a symptom that can be caused
by many different things.
Two people can feel the exact same type of back pain for
two entirely different reasons.
If they were both to undergo
the same treatment, one may start to feel better but the other
may not. It all depends on why the pain exists in the first
Let's say you have a dog, and one night that dog comes in
whining. You know he's in pain, but you don't know why.
Pain is just a sign that something is wrong.
Next, you may notice he's limping, which is a good sign
that the pain is probably in his leg somewhere, but you still
don't know what's causing it. To find out, you need to do
some investigating.
Most likely, you would call your veterinarian and work
toward finding a solution. You would not, in most cases, give
the dog a pain reliever or a massage and then forget about it.
Even if your dog felt better the next day, most likely you
would still want to be sure his leg was all right. Unfortunately,
you might not treat yourself with the same care.
Many traditional back-pain treatments focus primarily - if
not exclusively - on just getting rid of the pain.
In the process, they fail to identify the underlying cause of that pain. Of course, it's great to have pain erased or, at least,
diminished. But easing the pain without solving the problem
means one thing - the pain comes back.
That's why a lot of
people seem to frequently "throw out" their backs and
experience persistent, recurring back pain.
Pain Is a Message… So Listen!
Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is
out of balance, or "messed up" in some way. That may not be
the technical term doctors use, but it's the most accurate one I
can think of!
Through pain, your body is trying to send a message that
something is wrong and it needs help. When the message is
silenced but the underlying problem is ignored, the
communication has failed. Consequently, your body starts to
"yell" louder by giving you more pain - recurring and more
severe pain.
Your body is trying to tell you something, but you aren't
The Three Big Myths About Back Pain
What I want to emphasize here is that we can't just focus
on symptoms like pain. Instead, we must turn our efforts
toward figuring out and fixing the underlying problem
causing the pain. Before I explain the primary causes,
however, let me start by dispelling a few popular myths.
Myth #1:
You "Throw Out" Your Back
In the course of my work, I've taught hundreds of
thousands of people my back-pain treatment approach. When
I ask them what's wrong, they almost always say something
like, "I was doing X when I 'threw out' my back."
Usually, some physical activity precedes the back pain, like
picking up a heavy object, sneezing, bending over, or getting
out of bed. The thinking goes, "Well, since I didn't have pain
before the activity, the activity must have caused the pain."
As you'll see in the next few chapters, the reality is a bit
more complicated. In many cases, a physical activity can
trigger a pain episode, but by itself, it isn't the underlying
Consider this example: Let's say you fill a room with
natural gas and then toss a match inside. You could say that
the match caused the explosion, but it would be more
accurate to say the match "triggered" or ignited the explosion.
The better question to focus on is "Where did all that gas
come from in the first place?"
It's very similar with back pain. A physical activity can
trigger a pain episode, but it's not the "fuel" behind it. If you
don't get rid of the underlying problem, then any number of
things can "trigger" the pain.
Myth #2:
Back Pain Means Something Is Wrong with the Back
People usually think that if they have back pain, their
bodies are suffering from some mechanical dysfunction.
"Since my body hurts," they say, "it must mean something is
wrong with my body—something with the bones, the
muscles, or the soft tissue that connects them."
While this is sometimes, if not often, the case, it's not the only underlying cause of back pain. Other factors that
originate in your mind (e.g., stress levels) as well as your diet
(unhealthy foods) can cause severe back-pain episodes, even
when there's nothing wrong with your spine, discs, joints,
muscles, or ligaments. These factors also can exacerbate
physically caused back pain, making it many times more
Myth #3:
The Current Pain Isn't Related to Previous Bouts
If you experienced a back-pain episode two months ago
and another today, you're likely to think these episodes are
unrelated. Perhaps the last time it happened because you
sneezed. This time you were moving furniture.
For most people, the trigger that causes their pain episode
is different on different occasions. Naturally, they associate
the "cause" to the trigger and believe the episodes are
In fact, in the vast majority of cases, multiple back-pain
episodes are usually caused by the same underlying problem—
even if each pain episode had a different trigger.
Let's consider again the room filled with natural gas—a
dangerous situation, no doubt. But the gas is the source of the
danger, not the match, static cling, or a cell-phone ring that
might create a spark to trigger the explosion.
The same is true when it comes to back pain. Once you've
created conditions in your body, inadvertently or otherwise,
that are ripe for an explosive bout of back pain, any number
of things can set off a pain episode. Different activities that
may trigger pain are only sparks igniting the gas that was there
all along.
There Are Two Types of Pain:
Which Are You Suffering From?
Though there are many back-pain conditions, such as
sciatica, scoliosis, and a herniated disc, we can narrow them
down to two basic categories: nerve-based pain and tissue based
You may have one or the other, or you may have both.
Some treatments will ease nerve pain, others improve tissue
pain. Some might, in some cases, work for both. But
determining the right treatment for your particular case can
require some investigation.
This is, incidentally, why so many
back-pain sufferers find inconsistent relief.
Let me explain the differences between the two types of
As the name suggests, nerve-based back pain is caused by a
nerve that's not happy for some reason. Typically, it's being
pressured, pinched, compressed, or injured in some way—
usually by a nearby muscle or bone.
For example, if a nerve is surrounded by or next to a
muscle that's unusually tight and inflexible, that muscle
presses on the nerve, causing it to hurt. This is common in
If a nearby piece of bone, such as a vertebra in your spinal
column, is out of position, it also might press on the nerve,
causing pain. These bones themselves may be out of position
due to an overly tight or inflexible muscle nearby. In other words, the whole process may start with a tight muscle but
end with a nerve that's irritated by a bone.
Nerve pain often, but not always, is felt as a burning,
tingling, sharp, shooting, electrical, or numb sensation, or like
"pins and needles."
Tissue-based pain, on the other hand, originates in the
muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other connective tissues in the
body. (Most commonly, the pain originates in the muscles.)
Think back to the last time you gave someone a neck or back
massage. You may recall feeling one or more "knots" in the
muscles. These knots are one of the main causes of tissue based
One way to tell if a knot is really a knot, or just a
bone, is to see if it exists on both sides of the body in the exact
same position. If it appears on both sides, it might be a bone
or part of a joint. If it only appears on one side, it's more
likely a knot.
This knot is more formally known as a "trigger point." I
don't know why it's called this, but I suspect it's because if
you press firmly on it, it triggers pain. Trigger points also are
known to trigger pain in areas of the body other than where
they're located, and this is called "referred pain."
A trigger point is caused in part by a pooling of toxins in
your muscle tissue—which, in turn, is usually caused by
imbalances in your diet, excess negative stress, and/or damage
to the actual muscle fibers as a result of an injury and/or
excessive exercise or physical activity.
If you're under a lot of stress, for example, your body's
natural tendency is to shift to more shallow breathing and to
"freeze" parts of your upper body (clenched jaws and tense
shoulders are a few examples).
This "freezing" reduces the
amount of oxygen in your body and slows the circulation of
blood in certain areas—such as your back. Without the
optimal level of oxygen from deep breathing and without
natural body movement to keep the blood flowing, toxins get
"stuck" within tight muscle tissue. If this is allowed to continue for a long enough period of time, a trigger point
develops, causing pain.
Trigger points also might be caused by an imbalance in the
diet. For instance, many people who have been led to believe
they aren't getting enough calcium may, in fact, be deficient
in magnesium. Without magnesium, the body can't process
calcium as it should. Magnesium also is involved in the
muscle-relaxation response, so if the body doesn't have
enough of it, trigger points are more likely to develop.
proper muscle function depends on both of calcium and
magnesium—and since they depend on each other for
absorption into the body's cells—an adequate, balanced
supply (along with potassium and other trace minerals) is
necessary for healthy, pain-free muscles.
Studies have shown
that supplementing with these nutrients can help ease trigger
Another way to really aggravate trigger points is to drink
too little water. When you're dehydrated, your blood doesn't
have enough fluid to flush out all the toxins and other
biological waste that your body produces. Under normal
conditions, the blood washes away all these waste products,
moving them to the liver and kidneys, where they are
eliminated from the body.
But if you're even slightly dehydrated, there isn't enough
water in your blood to do a good cleaning job in the little
spaces between the cells that make up your muscles. When
this happens, you're much more likely to develop trigger
points—or if you already have them, they increase in size,
severity, and pain.
Other types of tissue-based pain, such as pulled or strained
tendons or ligaments, also can be caused by overuse. While a
sudden trauma or injury can pull a ligament—a very extreme
form of overuse—doing the same type of moderate-intensity
activity too many times can strain a tendon or ligament, too.
There is a fine line between using and overusing your tendons
and ligaments.
Notice how similar types of sharp, shooting pain—a
trigger point in the muscle, an inflamed tendon, or a
compressed nerve—can be caused by entirely different
reasons. As you'll see in the next chapter, this is quite
common. You also will see that if you don't know what's
causing your pain, you could very easily choose the wrong
treatment approach!
You may already have an idea which type of pain you have.
If not, you'll figure it out as you go through this book. For
now, just remember that you need to know what's causing the
pain before you can reasonably expect to get rid of it.
The Five Causes of All Back Pain
As I mentioned earlier, most people think they "throw
out" their backs and then experience back pain. While you
now know that this isn't the case.
All back pain comes from one of three sources and
these are almost always overlooked by doctors and other
health care professionals.

"I wish that I had found this book earlier. It has helped me more than the pain management doctor.
I really did not want to manage the pain - I wanted rid of it and wanted to get back to my normal activities.
The exercises have helped greatly.
I am pleased with my progress and continue to exercise, watch what I eat and take NO pain medicines.
Kathryn A. Kindel
"I first had back pains in 2000. It was clear what the trigger point was. Yet I self-limited to physiotherapy which only reduces the pain but does not resolve the root cause of the problem. For 11 years I have been coming and going. Now thanks to Jesse I know what to do.
I have a clear path to success. I said path, not pathology because muscle balanced therapy is ahead of me to live the life of my dreams"
Jorge Zuazola
I thought I had read everything on back pain. Not so.
This book has so much information on every thing to do with back problems, including what to do immediately for pain.
Most important to my mind are the clues on finding the causes and what to do about them.
Anyone with any kind of pain in the back would do themselves a huge favor by reading this book."
F. Peck, BC Canada
"I was thrilled to read a book that actually gave honest and useable info. I had been to two doctors/ specialists and had a battery of tests run only to be told there was no answer to my recent back issues and that it may be stress. I knew there was more to it.
Within a week of reading the book I am pain and incident free. I will use the info and special stretches and exercises for years to come."

Another show season ended April 30th…and another judge has been recognized as Judge of the Year! Congratulations to Aline Noel-Garel who was named Judge of the Year for 2009-2010 by TICA at the Annual Awards Banquet last weekend in Santa Clara, CA.
Aline, who is from Quebec, Canada, became a judge in 1988. But she was highly involved in the cat fancy and helped introduce the Sphynx not only to the United States, but to get it recognized as an approved championship breed. Now every Sphynx that enters a show hall can say thank you to Aline for helping them get the chance to compete for titles and regional and international awards! Today the Sphynx is one of the top ten favorite breeds of cats!
Vickie Fisher, president of TICA said that even before becoming a TICA judge, Aline has championed TICA. To Vickie, there is no finer person than Aline that she wants to represent TICA in countries around the world.
Aline is the thirtieth judge to be named Judge of the Year. Since 1980, TICA's members have voted for the judge that deserves the distinguished title of Judge of the Year in recognition of their hard work during the previous show season

The Beeville Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to Castillo's Welding Shop just south of the South Texas Implement Co. after bees attacked several victims working around a welding shop on the west side of the highway.
Police and firefighters said the attack happened after someone operating a backhoe hit a tree full of bees.
Officers with the Beeville Police Department also responded, and within minutes several firefighters and at least two police officers had been stung.
One of the victims was Fire Chief Donnie Morris. The bees also stung other firefighters and some police officers responding to the emergency.
Firefighters were told to use fire extinguishers to fight the bees, at first, but within a short time Morris was told that the entire area around the welding shop was swarming with angry bees.
That was when Morris ordered that all traffic through the area be stopped. Portions of FM Roads 351 and 888 on the south side were temporarily closed as well.
Three victims, including two adults and one child, were sent to the emergency room at Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville.
Firefighters said a dog also was stung.
The incident started just before 9 a.m., and emergency personnel had the area mostly cleared by shortly after 9:30 a.m.
Although motorists passing through the area would not have been at risk if they had their windows shut, Morris said he wanted to get any sounds of engine noise away from the area.
According to firefighters, the bees flew into a nearby house and firefighter Jeff Silva, who was wearing one of the BVFD's bee suits, went into the house to eradicate the swarming insects.
Assistant Fire Chief Bill Burris said no one was sure if the bees were Africanized bees. He said all bees would attack to protect their hive.

Paranoia is high among some Americans after former CIA employee Edward Snowden leaked details of the National Security Administration's top-secret domestic surveillance program in May.
Some are worried what the government may know about them, and have compared the program to the government spying made famous in the 2002 film "Minority Report," where police are able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes.
Drones are also big in spying news, but did you know there are items in your own home that collect data about you and how you use them? That information could be available to criminals if the networks they connect to are hacked into. Here, ABC News has compiled a list of appliances and other household items that could be spying on you:
Your television
A security flaw allowed security firm ReVuln to hack into Samsung's newest televisions last year, accessing users' settings, installing malware on the TVs and any connected devices and harvesting users' private information. Samsung has since fixed the flaw, but it raises bigger security questions with it comes to your TV.
Your DVR/cable box
According to ABC, companies like Google and Verizon are reportedly developing cable boxes with video cameras and even motion sensors built into them to target ads to who's watching at the time. Creepy? Think what a hacker could do with that technology.
Your appliances
From the mouth of former CIA Director David Petraeus comes concerns that even appliances as mundane as your toaster or dishwasher could soon be used to gather intelligence about you.
Many of these appliances now connect to the Internet, helping manufacturers troubleshoot performance and improve energy efficiency and allowing users to program the coffeemaker or dryer from their tablet or smartphone.
But ABC News argues this information could also be used by hackers to geo-locate you.
Your heat & air conditioning
Homeowners can control some newer heating and air conditioning systems via the Internet to change the settings while they're away from home. ABC News says hackers and thieves could hack into the systems and gain private information.
Potential robbers could hack into your home lighting system and switch off the lights during a home invasion, according to ABC.
Home security alarms
Many of today's home security systems can connect wirelessly to homeowners' tablets and smartphones, again providing a network for potential burglars to hack into.

How to start saving energy with ENERGY STAR® today
ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. There are several simple actions you can take to save energy.
- Change a light and save a bundle. ENERGY STAR® qualified light bulbs are 75% more efficient than incandescent bulbs. When just one room in every home is brightened by ENERGY STAR® lighting, the change will keep over one trillion pounds of carbon dioxide out of our air.
- Make a quick trip to the hardware store or home improvement center for a hot water insulation kit to wrap your water heater and save on water heating costs.
- Use an ENERGY STAR® qualified programmable thermostat that can automatically adjust the temperature of your home when you are away.
- Ensure that your whole system (i.e., furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, and heating and cooling) is energy efficient. Leaky ducts can decrease the overall energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20%. Duct sealing increases efficiency and lowers your utility bills.
- Upgrade your refrigerator if it is 10 years old or older. Refrigerators use more energy than any other appliance in your home, but an ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerator uses about half the energy of a 10-year old conventional model.
- Consider replacing your central air conditioning system if it is more than seven years old. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label when you buy and use 20% less energy than a standard model. If just one household in 10 bought ENERGY STAR® heating and cooling equipment, the change would keep over 17 billion pounds of pollution out of our air.
- Replace your clothes washer with an ENERGY STAR® labeled model when it is time. Clothes washers use energy to both clean clothes and heat water, so to save on energy costs, wash your clothes in cooler water. ENERGY STAR® qualified clothes washers use 50% less water and 70% less energy per load; that's up to $100 every year.
- Run your washer, dryer, and dishwasher only with a full load.
- Seal and insulate your home to improve comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs. EPA recommends Home Sealing to improve your home's "envelope" or the outer walls, ceiling, windows and floors. To improve the envelope of your home: Add insulation, seal air-leaks, and choose an ENERGY STAR® labeled window if you're in the market for new windows.
- Check with your local utility or use our Special Offers search to see what incentives or rebates are available for the purchase of ENERGY STAR® qualified appliances, lighting, or HVAC systems.
- Start saving energy by using our Home Improvement Tools. These tools can tell you how efficiently you use energy at home and recommend the most cost-effective improvements.
The old adage "One man's trash is another man's treasure" defines reuse. Reusing items by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or selling them reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.
Action you can take:
Consider reuse when disposing of household items such as old computers, clothing and appliances. For reuse opportunities, see EPA New England's pamphlet titled Reuse in New England, a resource guide to donation opportunities.
Recycling includes collecting recyclable materials that would otherwise be considered garbage, sorting and processing recyclables into raw materials, and manufacturing raw materials into new products. Recyclable materials typically include: paper and paperboard (like newsprint, cardboard, direct mail), glass, metals (such as steel and aluminum), plastics (like bottles, grocery bags), yard waste (such as grass clippings, brush), electronic equipment (like computers, televisions, cell phones) and food wastes. Collecting recyclables varies from community to community; however, there are four primary methods of recycling: curbside, drop-off centers, buy-back centers, and deposit/refund programs.
Action you can take:
Identify your community's recycling program or contact your local department of public works or state environmental agency.
Recycling electronics
Electronic equipment, sometimes referred to as "e-waste" is an emerging and growing waste stream. E-waste includes electronic products discarded by consumers such as TV and computer monitors, CPUs and computer peripherals (e.g., keyboards, mice), cell phones, and printers/copiers. Check what kind of electronics can be collected in your community and which retailers and manufacturers will take their products back for free or for a fee. E-waste contains natural resources, including metals and plastics that can be reclaimed. In addition, computer monitors and older TV picture tubes contain an average of two to four pounds of lead (depending on their age) and require special handling when disposed. Electronics also can contain other substances of concern, including mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. When electronics are disposed of improperly, these toxic materials can present problems.
Action you can take:
Extending the life of your electronics or donating your most up-to-date and working electronics can save you money and saves valuable resources. Safely recycling outdated electronics promotes safe management of hazardous components and supports the recovery and reuse of valuable materials.
Composting, the controlled biological decomposition of organic matter such as food and yard wastes into humus, a soil-like material, is another form of recycling. It is nature's way of recycling organic wastes into new soil which can be used in vegetable and flower gardens, landscaping and many other applications. Composting can be done in your backyard in a compost pile or bin or in your home with a worm bin. It is nature's way of recycling organic waste into new soil, which can be used in vegetable and flower gardens, landscaping, and many other applications.
Action you can take:
Collect your yard and food wastes and start your own composting at home. See www.epa.gov/recycle/composting-home and check your state environmental agency's composting site.
hazardous waste
Discarded household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste. Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, pesticides and solvents, which contain potentially hazardous ingredients, require special care at disposal. If mishandled, these products can be dangerous to your health and the environment.
Pressure treated wood
Action you can take:
Never pour household hazardous wastes down the drain, on the ground, into storm sewers, or put them out with the trash.
Action you can take:
Proper disposal opportunities generally include community sponsored household hazardous waste days.
Pressure-treated wood is wood that has been treated with a preservative to protect it against dry rot, fungi, molds, termites and other pests. Since the 1970s, the majority of wood used to build outside structures, such as swing and play sets, decks, walkways, fences and picnic tables, was treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA). CCA is a chemical wood preservative containing chromium, copper and arsenic. Exposure to inorganic arsenic may present certain hazards. Use of CCA for wood products around the home and in children's play areas is no longer allowed as of December 31, 2003. Even though CCA can no longer be used in residential settings, many existing decks and other structures are made of wood treated with CCA. Although EPA's review of CCA is still ongoing, the agency does not believe there is any reason to remove or replace CCA-treated structures, including decks and playground equipment.
Action you can take: Always wash hands thoroughly after contact with any treated wood, especially prior to eating and drinking. Food should not come into direct contact with any treated wood. Wash play clothes and toys if they have come in contact with any treated wood. If you are concerned, you may want to consider the application of a coating product to pressure-treated wood on a regular basis. Some studies suggest that sealants can reduce the amount of CCA that leaches from treated wood. Treated wood should never be burned in open fires, stoves, fireplaces, or residential boilers. For more information on CCA, see www.cpsc.gov/en/newsroom/news-releases/2005/cpscepa-post-interim-study-on-cca-treated-wood/.


text: I took my SR1911 to the range yesterday. It has been perfect since out of the box but not so this time. I was on the second magazine and it just stopped. I dropped the magazine out and was able to get the spent case out. Then the slide locked up. Nothing I did at the range helped so I put it away until I got home. Here I verifyed that it was empty but still sothing I did could get the slide freed up. It will slide back about 3/16" and hits a solid stop. I removed the bushing, plunger and recoil spring and still it was a no-go. On doing so I saw something drop to the carpet. It was a piece of the recoil spring about 3/8" long. Any advise as to what happened or how to get the slide free? If I can't get it I'll be contacting Ruger tomorrow.

Benchmarking Utopia; The art and words of Francis Cape
In the book's foreword, Arcadia University Art Gallery Director Richard Torchia explains that one of its objectives is to document American social movements that sought to present the importance of community and collective ownership as a counterpoint to capitalist-driven individualism. To help illustrate how the benches contained in the exhibition had contributed to these social movements, Cape stipulated that discussion groups must take place on the benches everywhere they're exhibited—and that the benches must always face each other, not a stage or dais. When these conditions are met, discussion group participants can't help but be acutely aware of each other as equals. All sit at the same height and in close proximity to one another, have unobstructed views of each other and can easily turn in any direction to face speakers. Discussion group participants also quickly realize that the benches are especially uncomfortable; they were designed that way. By discouraging complacency born of comfort, they promote alert listening and brief, constructive dialogue. A situation, Cape suggests, that could be useful today.
