|East ridge
Date Climbed: Dec 25, 2015
|An easy day from the hut, with a bit of fun third class along the ridge and a good boot-ski back to Laguna del Sol. Hundreds of tourists, but weirdly most of them were headed for Arista de Humboldt rather than the summit. Trip report.

|close but no cigar
Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2014
|We spent the night at the almost abandonded hut near the entrance, $100 pesos each. Bring a headlamp no power. They couldn't even be bothered to build a fire.
Problems started the next AM when our cousin's car broke down about 2 kms short of the trail. The road to crater is no longer open. The trail starts at the old upper huts (don't appear to be open for camping any more, just bathrooms and a simple vendor hut).
From there we had an extra 2 kms and estimated 250m of climb just to get to summit rim. We descended, then the family explored the lakes area. It is pretty cool place, like Crater Lake without the lake and add about 4 small to large puddles.
The trail heads straight up across the crater and turns right. I made that fine but on third hump I was totally stumped on how to find a passable route (a CL3 or less route that is). Alone and with storms coming in and my family below, I had to leave this for another day.
I think the situation may have a been a blessing in disguise, however, as the green valleys areound Toluca are absolutely beautiful. And the Xinantecatl park and massif are worthy of a few days of exploring and peak bagging, not unlike Mazama aka Crater Lake. Nearby Valle del Bravo would be a good place to spend a couple days after finishing up in the mountains.
Toluca, you are green and beautiful. We will be back!

|Best Missionary P-Day Ever
Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2012
|While on an LDS mission we got rare permission (twice!) to go to the top of this immense volcano. Of course, it was a taxi ride most of the way so it hardly counts as climbing a huge peak, but we did scramble up to what looked like one of the tallest peaks to us (likely the 2nd or third highest), and we were sure high and tried our best, so I'm counting it.

|We took direct route, gully above Laguna de Sol, steep and loose rock, but no problems. Amazing views of crates lakes and entire Nevado de Toluca volcano, i did like this mountain and area.

|Pico de Fraile from the crater lake
Date Climbed: Feb 6, 2014
|Very, very lovely area. We were the first people on the mountain and had the mountain to ourselves the entire day until our descent. After a restful night in San Martin Hacienda, we cruised up to the summit of Pico de Fraile from the lovely crater. The dry couloir was steep but forgiving, and I was impressed by the pleasantly rocky ridge to a relatively small summit. Great day, great welcome to Mexico's mountains! Finished off with a summit of Humboldt Peak - summitted both peaks of that group with Kiefer just to be sure. ;)

Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2012
|I did the rim traverse today, it tools us about 5 hours including lunch and breaks. Rock pro is completely unnecessary, it's only 4th class scrambling. Snow gear isn't necessary in this season, two of my partners used below the ankle boots.

|Cerro Campanario on a cloudy day
Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2011
|Rented a car on the Paseo de Reforma, drove to Nevado de Toluca, and started to climb at 1pm...took me 3 hours to the Cerro Campanario and back through the Standard East Approach to Pico de Fraile. Had to stop before continuing further from Campanario as the visibility made it impossible to identify your way forward...will definitely try to come back and finish the job!

|First High Altitude Summit
Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2009
|My first mountain above 6000 feet. Hiking to the crater from the entrance gate after only being in mexico for 12 hours was one hell of an introduction to high altitude climbing. I felt like my legs were made of lead. The following day i summited via some talus field on the outer rim.

|The traverse was quite entertaining. Camped at 3700m the night before with temperatures down to -8 C. Great weather on the mountain though. Climbed from the parking lot up to the saddle, the swung a right and followed the ridge counterclockwise, climbing the 2 highest peaks before shooting down to go check out the lakes on the way back. Tons of people down at the lakes, but nobody up on the ridge. Good times!

|Route Climbed? Mountain Climbed?
Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2009
|This was an interesting trip wherin we got screwed by our taxi driver and had to walk up the 17 kilometer road. This put us badly off our schedule and camping in the backcountry. Matt and I forced a route through a nightmarish rockfield and summited a subpeak along the ridge around 14,900ft. Matt summited Pico Aguila 15,157ft.

A trot along the lane from Nether Heyford to the Narrow Boat on the A5, saw my training start again tonight. 10 mins jog, 5 mins walk and 15 jog was the target, simply because those were the intervals in my phone!! Just failed to get to the one mile mark before the 10 minute alarm beeped.
Anyway it did not work out that way as I was not at my best on the way back and I didn't want to over do it. Even so, the jog back was quicker than the 10 and 5 combined for the outward leg.
Thanks for the kind words CC. I sent you a friend request, I think?

Welcome back John.

Day 2 of comeback : I was back at my digs early so went out across the fields. Jogged 10 mins and walked 5, then jogged almost 15. I stopped before it beeped to say time up and walked about 2 mins. Didnt have far to go so jogged a couple of leccy poles then walked a couple till I got back. It does indeed feel good! Got to get fit for the cruise!!
Posted over 6 years ago in reply to JohnRN
Rested yesterday as I had little time to get out anyway. Today had a jog/walk through the park. Stomach acid was the worst thing! God, I eat some rubbish and never learn. Did a half hour, continually feeling for signs of calf problems coming on, but apart from that I enjoyed it in the sunshine and with the autumn colours.
Well done John, i hope soon you get out for a run and your calf problems dont even spring to mind. I know the feeling of constantly looking out for problems and it gets to be a pain.
Im sure a few good runs under your belt and it will stop.
Did you ever get a physio and if so how are they about you running
Been concentrating on a bit of cycling for a week as the club went up to Ambleside YHA on Saturday, back on Sunday. Fronts of thighs are feeling it still, but otherwise OK. Will try a jog when they are not so tender.
Trout: my physio experience was not good.
thats such a shame John...what happened. Would you like me to ask my physio if thees any way to find a good one in your area? Long shot i know, but worth it it you find a good one...take care
Got out for a jog in the park on Saturday morning. Just about 20 mins with a good stretch before going out.
Monday evening did a 2 mile out and back down the lane from Nether Heyford. Timed it at 18.20. It was very cold and I had no hat! Had my twinkly arm bands on tho' and my reflective Sam Brown. That made the drivers think!!
After a long day in the van I was feeling like a quick outing when I got back to Nether Heyford. Stretched and got out at around 9.15. Soon realised that the 'thing' in my right calf was going to play up so I walked back. Massaged with Tiger Balm before retiring.
Sorry to hear that John......how come physio was no good? Not a runner?
I'm loving this training diary!
Posted over 6 years ago in reply to Rah
Rah: I am glad to be of some use.:D
Trout: The physio did not tell me anything new. I know that makes me sound like a smart a r s e, but I have been at it a while and the internet has so much info too. He used to be the physio for Blackburn Rovers FC and obviously knows his stuff. The result of my consultation was him asking me to try a wedge in my right shoe to see if it made any difference to the 'thing' that happens in my calf muscles. It didn't help at all and I had another rest!!
I was talking my running hassles through with a chap on the hostelling weekend and his advice was 'run in the morning'. It does make sense. My legs are so tense after driving all day. The trouble is, do I have the will to get up earlier?!! :/
Only thirty days to 'the cruise'!

An Aura of Ineptitude
As a fan, one of the most difficult parts of spring training is watching your team show up and wondering who's going to be disgustingly out of shape and how they're possibly going to get ready in time for the season opener. If you had David Wells reporting, you didn't worry so much because somehow that extra weight and general aura of deep-fryer fat that emanated from him was soothing. However, when you're a Tigers fan and Miguel Cabrera is showing up soon, you worry.
It appears that worry is misplaced, though. Not only did Cabrera show up early, he apparently has dispatched that aura of mediocrity that shadowed him throughout the beginning of last season. Fantasy Baseball blogs are touting him as one of the top first basemen and despite his slow start last season and the lack of offensive output from the Tigers as a whole, he still ended up having a career year.
However, when it comes to crap-tastic auras, there is one man who surely takes the cake. That's right, long-time friend of RSBS, Bud Selig, was back in the news today. See, Selig wants us to know that when the steroid snafu went down, he wasn't playing Nero and fiddling while Rome burned like we all thought. No, he was trying to sniff out the problem, attempting to stomp out the fire before it exploded into the conflagration that now rages in front of us. And of course we know this is true because the story comes from a source on the inside, from a trustworthy someone named, uh, let me see here, Bud Selig. Huh. That seems kind of weird.
We here at RSBS have often called out Mr. Selig on his general ineptitude and obvious mismanagement of the great American pastime. His ham-fisted attempts at regulation, be it contract negotiation or drug-testing, have only served to intensify the disparities in baseball. But, I think it's about time we took this to the next level. If Mr. Selig were a dirigible, he'd be the Hindenburg. If he were a world leader of the past century, he'd be Neville Chamberlain. If Mr. Selig were a song, he'd be sung by Carly Simon. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sure he'd fire a manager for less. He's an unapologetic and unmitigated disaster and it's time for him to go.

Excellent choice of song. Why didn't I think of that one? I must be slipping!
Yeah, I love how Bud is all outraged. Like he couldn't have prevented it all in the first place. We have a phrase for that down here in the boondocks: closing the barn door after the cows are already out.
RSBS shoots…RSBS scores…Dirigible, boys I love it. Nowhere else can I count on someone bringing out a dirigible blast in a baseball blog. Love it. Hooked gotta come back for more. You get me on the comeback.
A lot of the fantasy posts have put Miguel up there in the top 5 spot this Spring in hopes he will have the year they wanted from him from start to finish in 2008.
I like the way the guy plays, but is he really the best option at first base? Sometimes you wonder why they push guys around the infield like that, but Carlos Guillen did seem to play third base better than him after Brian Inge went back behind the plate.
Should be an interesting year in Motown. Will Dontrell Willis survive the year, or be down in Lakeland with the Flying Tigers again in 2009. Hopefully he will have a rebound year and find his groove again. BTW, Edwin Jackson could close if you needed a guy who throws hard and is good for three innings or less.

Not only did the deep-fryer fat that emanated from David Wells work for him, but I'm sure he smelled like a delicious steakhouse for his teammates.
Don't forget about the smoking, Al. Wells was a smoker in the clubhouse too, right? And drinker? And wall ******?
If Selig were a car he would be a Yugo, if he were a NBA player on an underperforming team he would be Amare 'Its the coaches fault' Stoudamire.
Im actually more worried about D-train this year, he can show up as fit as Richard Simmons and still not be able to get through two innings against the Hickory Crawdads.
I think you stole 'crap-tastic' from me but I can allow this since I plan to steal 'ham-fisted' from you.
I admire your penchant for the obscure word, high marks will be given if you can work 'confluence' in at some point (without any relation to geology of course)… guess I should do some work today. word.
I can't say ****** on MLBlogs? Seriously? Harvey's Wallbangers? I can't say that? For real? Arrggghh! Selig got me again!
Selig should be tarred and feathered…ok, maybe a tad medieval, but he seriously needs to GO!
I think Cabrera is going to have another good season. I want to get him on my Fantasy team if I can.
~King of Cali
How can wallbanger be starred out? What if you were talking about Britain and how much you love bangers and mash? I'm totally with you, J. It can only be the fault of Bud Selig.
DK, thanks for the comment. I totally whiffed on missing the yugo comparison. And I promise you that if in my writing a confluence of political and baseball related topics arises such that I am able to use the word "confluence," I will not hesitate.
Renegade, you have a point about Cabrera. However, his defense makes him a liability at third and despite last season, I still have faith in Leyland.
"Aura of deep-fryer fat." I had to stifle my laughter. I really need to stop reading MLBlogs in class, especially RSBS since I laugh pretty much every time I read a new blog.
I must register my affection for Carly Simon, as much as it dates me or subjects me to ridicule. "He's So Vain" is still a great song!
Interesting fact: That song was not written about James Taylor… it was written about superstar Allen Krause.
Well at least it is only the difference between a good Cabrera and a great Cabrera 🙂

Not a Win, Not a Loss
- 10-10 tie
What an interesting game. As you can see, our pitchers gave up ten runs, so I'm not too happy about that. But starter Josh Geer had a great game. Three innings of no-hit shut-out ball. I'm very happy for him. His last outing didn't go that great, when he allowed like two home runs and four runs in a couple innings. It's nice to see him bounce back and have a great outing after a really bad one. Right now, I'd say that Josh Geer and Kevin Correia essentially have those last two spots in the rotation locked up. They are doing really well, and they can pitch. But we'll see.
Cla Meredith had a clean inning, striking out two. Cesar Carrillo gave up six runs. Chris Britton gave up two runs, as did Matt Buschmann. Edwin Moreno threw a scoreless tenth. So, the pitching wasn't the best, but it could have been better. I am really pleased about Geer and Meredith, though. They are looking great this spring!
On the offensive side, we did very well. Emil Brown had a two-run double in the top of the first. Kyle Blanks, that big boy, slammed a three-run homer in the fifth. My boy Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-run homer! I'm so proud of him. Chase Headley and David Eckstein each had two hits. Eckstein has really been playing well this spring, both with his offense and his defense. We got three more runs in the seventh to tie the game at ten. We played ten innings, but neither team could score. And so, since it's Spring Training and all, the game ended there.
Trevor did not play. Man, he's gotta face us sometime! Of course, he's pitching today and not yesterday. I think this is one of the stages of heartbreak. First is denial, then bitterness/hate at the person who "broke up" with you. I think I am going through the bitterness stage. WHY did you have to leave us Trevor?!?!?!!?!??!???!?!?
OK, I'm good. Anyway, it was a great game for us, I am really pleased with the offense right now. They are doing great, getting their hits, driving in runs. Just what we want them to do!
Congrats to Cla and Natalie Meredith! Natalie gave birth to their first child on Sunday, a girl named Adellyn Sue. Cla got to spend Tuesday, which was a off day, with his wife and his new baby girl. Then, though very tired, he went out yesterday and threw a perfect inning! Again, congrats to the Merediths, and I hope Cla and his wife can get some rest soon!
Today we are playing the White Sox for the first time this spring. Chris Young will be starting. He last pitched on Sunday and gave up two runs. Mike Ekstrom, Greg Burke (who really needs to start his blog), Scott Patterson, and Mark Worrell will also pitch. It will be very interesting to hear about all of Jen's favorite players. LINEUP!!!
- SS Chris Burke
- 3B Luis Rodriguez
- RF Brian Giles
- 1B Kyle Blanks
- CF Jody Gerut
- LF Drew Macias
- C Nick Hundley
- 2B Matt Antonelli
- SP Chris Young
Hm, interesting lineup today. We'll see how it goes! GO PADRES!!!

A 10-10 game. Quite a pitcher's duel. LOL. Sometimes those games are fun to watch even if the pitching does stink. So you're feeling bitter toward Trevor? Uh-oh.
Congrats to Cla! Our ace, Mark Buehrle, had a daughter a few days ago. It looks like I was wrong about AJ not playing today. Enjoy my super uber crush! My second fave on the Sox now that Crede is gone is playing today too: Josh Fields at third.
Yeah! A new baby! (Why do we all say new? It's never old! ha!) PLEASE do not let the Red Sox-Yankees game end in a tie!
Congrats to Cla🙂 Adellyn Sue, what a pretty name! Brewers' game was good. And we lost to White Sox today. The final score was 15 to 4, yikes. But as always, Go Padres!
JANE, yes, I think I am getting angry at him for leaving! And yeah, games like that can be pretty fun! Sort of.
JEN, yeah, both of your guys did very well today🙂 Good game.
JENN, well, it's better than a loss!
JULIA, the game's looking great so far!
HYUN YOUNG, our pitching was really bad today. Oh well. GO PADRES!!
XCICIX, yeah, he played with you guys last year I think. He played like six positions while he was there!
Our Pitching is pretty bad. Our hitting is actually the thing that will make me come to the ballpark!!!! Hopefully our pitching comes around. GO PADRES!!!!!!

Qualifying for the Boston Marathon is a daunting accomplishment on its own. For Columbus runner Kristy Taylor to meet the qualifying time for her age bracket, she had to cut about 90 minutes from her first marathon. It only took three years, and this weekend the 34-year-old Clintonville resident will participate in her first Boston Marathon after posting a 3:32 during the 2012 Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon. "I've watched [the Boston marathon] online every year," she said. "I'm so excited to get in. It's almost what defines endurance running." As always, these are a few of her favorite things.
Olentangy Trail
I've been running there for 12 years. It's like home for me. I see the same people every week. I've seen a 70-year-old guy there every Sunday for 10 years and when he's not there I get worried. It's where I've done all my training runs for my last 15 marathons. I live in Clintonville, so it's only about a half mile away. There have only been a couple flashing incidents and the occasional penis drawing; it's been otherwise relatively uneventful.
I put it on everything. People joke I would drink it if I could. Hardboiled eggs are probably the weirdest thing I've eaten it on. I've put it on cottage cheese — that creeped people out at work. I used to put hot sauce on pancakes; the syrup and the sauce actually kind of worked. It was a weird flavor. My friends and I have joked that I should write to GU, the energy gel company, and ask them to make Sriracha packets, because they make seasonal packets every year. I think there could be a market for it.
Great Lakes Christmas Ale
I like darker beers and I like microbrews, but I don't want to say I'm a beer snob. But this is my all-time favorite beer 1.) because it's delicious and 2.) it has a high alcohol content, so it's efficient. It comes out around my birthday, so I get a lot of Christmas Ale as birthday presents, which is nice. I'll take that. I stockpile it throughout the year. I can usually keep it through about February or March, and then it's gone.
Death Cab for Cutie
Random fact: Ben Gibbard, the singer, is a runner. I can actually beat his time, so I take pride in that. I always say I'm going to go run in L.A. and get him to profess his love to me forever. Maybe next year, after Boston. Not to sound like, "Oh, I listened to them before everyone else," but I did. I love them because they can make something insulting sound pretty and nice. People say, "How can you listen to Death Cab when you're running?" But I can, though not so much their slower stuff. I really like "We Laugh Indoors"; it starts slow but picks up and it's almost like a power song.
Columbus Marathon
I've done Columbus six times. I love the marathon, especially now that it's sponsored by Nationwide Children's Hospital; it's really inspiring. Plus, I like being able to run a marathon and just go home after and pass out. That's a definite benefit, but I just love the course, love being able to run through Bexley and German Village and Grandview, love being able to have my friends on the course supporting me. Most people I know are running the half or full, so it feels like a big event in the running community.

I am a SAHM. There are many rewards to doing this and lately I have been facing some challenges. Currently my challenge is keeping my milk supply up and trying to get my son back to breast-feeding.
Here is some back story:
Tristan was born sep8 2010 and he was a GREAT latcher and feeder right from birth. I had to have c-section and he still was patient while my milk arrived. Two weeks after he was born his father contracted a MRSA(staph infection) in his face and we had to quarantine our whole family for 5 days. MRSA has a 85% kill rate in infants our family is VERY fortunate to have our little angel with us today.
Tristan went to live with one of my cousins during the 5 day quarantine and I stayed with my fiance in the hospital to arrange his insurance information and help him. (He was very doped up from all the medication they had to give him; I was his advocate). Our family was separated for a total of 2months while my fiance continued to heal in our home but I got Tristan back with me after 7days. Once Tristan and I were back together his nursing abilities were pretty much shot ( I moved in with my fiances inlaws...omg. The sacrifices we make! lol) It took a lot of work to get him back on the breast but I was still having to pump a lot of his feedings.
My cousin didn't listen to anything I told her; I said no binkies and she did it anyways. I told her not to over feed him yet she grossly over-fed him almost 5oz each feeding at 2weeks old... Ever since I have had Tristan back with me he is constantly spitting up breast milk or formula. He seems hungry all the time. He is teething and screaming and refusing to nurse on my breasts. I am getting to the point where I am at the end of my rope with breast-feeding. Just the other day I was feeding him in my van and he started choking and gasping while feeding. I fed him and he came off my breast and I was spraying like a fountain. He cried for 10 mins and then refused to nurse at all...it broke my heart. I am all alone with my son for over 14hours a day and am the sole parent that takes care of him during the day.I don't have a big support system of people that can competently take care of him for me, I really never get a break.
I am exhausted and the idea of just mixing a bottle when he is screaming is becoming more and more appealing... I just feel alone and helpless I am trying very hard to continue to nurse him and pump bottles. But now one of my breasts has this pimple like thing on the end of my right nipple which hurts when he nurses (but not when I am pumping). It is painful though if I try to hand express milk onto it and it is sore when I touch it. (Unfortunately I can't go to the doctor right now because I can not afford health insurance). I know I don't have mastitis though. I am just ready to give up and go to formula, at least I know Tristan likes it...but it really breaks my heart I don't want to quit nursing... he is still so young and can still benefit from mommy's milk. Tristan is on baby foods now (which are made by his mother) and he loves them. But I think it is way too young to stop him on milk. He currently eats 25-35oz or formula/or breastmilk. Along with 8oz of baby food and 1/2cup of rice cereal. And he is still underweight.... I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I do everything his doctor has recommended and still has not doubled his birth weight. He was born at 8lbs 2.2oz. and now at 5 1/2 months I am guessing he is at about 15lbs. (He has not gone in for his next check up yet so I don't know exactly what he weighs yet).
Please if anyone has gone through the same things I am struggling with reply to this thread with reckless abandon! I am pleading to anyone that will listen. Sincerely MommaBear

Research and Development FundingThe ASM Office of Public Affairs has developed this page to keep ASM members up to date on the appropriations process for Fiscal Year 2012.
December 17, 2012 - Fiscal Year 2012 Appropriations Finalized for Federal Agencies
On December 17, Congress approved the final fiscal year 2012 appropriations bill package (House Report 112-331). The bill includes FY 2012 funding for federal agencies under nine appropriations bills, including the Department of Health and Human Services, Defense, Energy and Water, Homeland Security, State/Foreign Operation, Interior/Environment and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs. Fiscal year 2012 funding for Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Science Foundation was approved in November (HR 2112). The National Institutes of Health was funded at a level of $31 billion, approximately a $300 million increase over FY 2011. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program level is $6.5 l billion, an increase of $38 million over FY 2011. Department of Energy science research is funded at $4.9 billion, an increase of $46 million over the previous fiscal year. In the earlier appropriations package passed by Congress, the NSF is funded in fiscal year 2012 at a level of $7 billion, $173 million over FY 2011. The USDA received $2.5 billion for agriculture research, a $53 million reduction. The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) within the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) received flat funding of $264 million for FY 2012. The FDA is funded at $2,5 billion, a $50 million increase over FY 2011. The funding increases in the Labor/DHHS/Education bill will be reduced by an across-the-board cut in discretionary funding of .189 percent.

What is FishPi?We are developing a Marine Unmanned Surface Vessel, which will ultimately be able to cross the Atlantic unaided, and take scientific measurements while doing so. The project has been called FishPi.
Why FishPi?FishPi has been dreamt up in response to the Raspberry Pi. We wanted to do something that went outside of the normal bounds of conventional thinking, used the capabilities of the RPi, and that would ultimately pave the way to an educational program.
What will FishPi be used for?FishPi is intended as an educational platform, a research station, or something to geek out to. Our plan is to develop & test an autonomous vehicle with the aim of producing part, or complete kits for professionals, students or enthusiasts.
What are the expected capabilities & functions of the FishPi?Autonomous navigation, environmental measurements and observations, long-term operations, data-logging, and two-way communications via satellite.
What needs to be done?For now, everything. But, development has started on a proof-of-concept vehicle (link). This first step will be used to test the RPi's capabilities, check power requirements and demonstrate the concept of autonomous control with the Raspberry Pi.
What's happening at the moment?Well loads of ideas have been thrown around, several hardware components have been suggested and considerations accounted for. The build up at the moment is towards to proof-of-concept vehicle. Details on its development can be seen on the forum (link), and on the proof-of-concept section (link).
Can I Help?
Yes of course! Pop over to the forum and say hello (link). You can also send us a tweet too @TheFishPi.

I have been very much disappointed that there have been so few post about interesting words.
I have made several (perhaps too many) posts using tsuwm's wwftd, to which I added information which I hoped would stimulate further discussion, and prompt other members to do likewise, in which I have been further disappointed. My posting four words yesterday was not an ego trip, it was just to show how easily others could make even more interesting posts. Instead, my favorite sparring partner gave me the Bronx cheer.

Loc: this too shall pass
bill, I considered answering this via PM, but it's prolly worth discussing in the clear. I've found from putting together that word list you've been plundering ;) that most folks don't particularly enjoy perusing a word list, but (when words interest them at all) would rather have them come up in some sort of context. (Anu tries to add context by having weekly themes and adding plentiful citations -- and there are gratuitous quotes.) if one of us comes across a new word, or an unusual context, or a usage that seems to have a high level of bogosity, then she might think about bringing it to the board to see if it sparks mutual interest. I think (and I'm sure I'll be castigated if I'm wrong) that Faldage was reflecting the attitude that merely dredging up a bunch of words from one of the many wordlists to be found online doesn't provide much (otherwise hopefully interesting) contextual background.
does this make any sense atall?

Dear tsuwm: It seems to me that you have missed an important point. Your list of unusual words gives only a very brief definition and discussion of them There are many that ought be worth discussing at more length, which your site does not provide for. It seems that only about one percent of posts are what Anu hoped to see.

If so -- dear lord, please don't pass that news to the folks doing the "bagpipes" thread.
More seriously: tsuwm, in many cases your point is well taken -- but I believe you are overmodest: could not some of your words, judiciously selected, trigger interesting discussions? (cf. -pyg-)

Bill, don't take it to heart if your efforts to get something going don't succeed. I have proposed subjects which I thought would provoke a lively interest only to see them go over like a lead balloon. On the other hand, there have been offhand or tentative remarks which have taken off and run into pages and pages. If you've ever given a party you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting it to go well and feeling that it isn't or being surprised to find that it's going like a house afire. And you can't force such things -- trying too hard makes it worse. I don't know of many people who are fond of the types like the social directors on cruises who keep prodding people to get involved. Que sera, sera.

Bill sweetie, there are a tremendous quantity of word posts. I find that people tend to respond more to things they can put into personal context. It is like jumping into a crowd and saying tire irons then discuss and leaving the room this inevitably falls flat. There is no context there.
Now if you say dag nabbit, the tire irons that came with my Toyota are really shoddy people will invariable jump in.
Look at most of the posts on Board and you will see that this holds true. Ive seen you do it in this way many times in the past and it went quite well. Unfortunately the word posts you put in looked a bit like dictionary entries. Achates- discuss

Dear belMarduk: There are a great many words that just the dictionary cannot do justice to. For each of those four words I found new information, and hoped that others would know still more interesting things about them For instance, I found a site that indicated that Achates was a healer. Not clear if he was a physician, or a military surgeon and was needed for his skills in the fighting at Troy. I hoped somebody like CK would know. I did not mention that, as I was leaving room for someone else to make a post.

Firstly this is not an exclusive club, Secondly does it make a difference if my club plays winter but I like summer or visa versa.
Well said Guardsman. The RFL when they launched the summer/winter debate called it four seasons which means they were looking for the game to be played all the year round. which means january to December. The NCL clubs voted to play their league games between March and October. Some players like it and some don't thats why they called it four seasons so the players could decide when they played. This Forum is for people to debate issues regarding the NCL clubs what seems to be happening is the people who are not members of any NCL club moaning about how S##t the NCL now is . Let us who are involved with the NCL get on with it and let the rest of you go on the pennine forum and talk about how good your precious pennine league is. KNOWLEDGE I thought you was a Bramley man dont they play in the summer?
So why don't the RFL advertise 4 seasons on their website, why does it only make it look like the game is only played in the summer, why do they only direct new teams towards summer and why is it the teams who seem to be benefiting from the switch to summer are the ones with a NCL/RFL committee conection.
Which teams have benefited from the RFL/Service area wanting elite junior squads and where/who do the people on the junior committees who are allowing this to happen have an allegiance to ?

Hello Everyone! I'm new to the board, and I wanted to get some advice from other moms out there. I had my first baby in November of 2004. We nursed successfully for the entire 3 months I was out on maternity leave. However, several things happened that caused my milk supply to decrease drastically. I was very upset about having to go back to work, so I'm sure that the stress sabotaged me, plus, the baby began sleeping through the night at 2 months of age. I thought that maybe my body just didn't respond all that well to the pump, but I did pump some when I was home on leave, and did just fine. The gist of it is that I was forced to eventually start her on formula, and that just killed me. I tried everything I knew to do to build my supply back up again, but nothing worked. I had wonderful support and suggestions from my LLL group and leaders, but after 4 months of trying, she was refusing the breast altogether, and I finally gave up.
I am pregnant again, due in December, and I want to do everything in my power to make sure that my milk supply does not drop again. I was wondering if there were any other moms out there in a similar situation, and if they had any suggestions for the second time around. I'd be grateful for any advice you can offer!
Thank you so much! Tracy

Fashionably late...
May 15, 2013 —
It happens to the best of us. My mother was a stickler regarding good manners and raised me with a keen awareness of the social graces, including her zero-tolerance policy for tardiness. This mindset has served me well over the years, but periodically, things happen that are simply beyond our control and the past week has illustrated the point nicely. The fact that Mother's Day fell squarely in the middle of it all did not escape me, but I was forced to accept the irony and let the chips fall where they might.
With so many opportunities to explore in the world of arts and entertainment in the Upper Delaware Valley, I often find myself seeking a new experience, so I jumped at the chance to check out a fashion show in Jeffersonville, NY last Friday—something that I had never done. I'm hardly a "fashionista" and know little about clothing, other than what I see on television shows like Project Runway. Aside from that, the shop that was presenting the evening (www.facebook.com/TheClothesLineNY) caters to women (another subject that often escapes me), so my interest was piqued even more. Knowing nothing about a particular subject is often liberating, so I did a quick check about the shop online, and learned that proprietor Danielle Hilson "opened The Clothesline in April 2010, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Born in France and raised in the U.S., Danielle has always had a love of clothes and shopping."
Because I'm having issues with my truck, and not wishing to be late, (fashionably or otherwise) I accepted the offer of a ride from my fashion-forward gal pal, Tamara, and we sauntered in ahead of schedule, which gave me an opportunity to meet some of the lovely models and schmooze with Hilson, who was finishing a final run-through before the public flooded in, anxious to get a sneak peek at the new lines being presented. I learned that Hilson had just returned from India and that the ladies would be showcasing the dreamy creations she picked up there, along with casual wear, work clothes and evening attire. Suitably titled "Spring into Summer," the show went off without a hitch, and I enjoyed snapping photos on the makeshift runway and watching the ladies strut their stuff. "The color of the season is orange," Hilson declared, while describing the outfits, sharing her expertise of all things trendy, while I snapped away, feeling every inch a paparazzo.

Java's strong appeal for embedded applications is sometimes offset by concerns about its speed and its memory requirements. However, there are techniques that you can use to boost Java performance and reduce memory needs, and of course the Java virtual machine you choose affects Java performance, too. You can make better-informed decisions about using Java by understanding the factors that affect its performance and selecting meaningful benchmarks for embedded applications.
Techniques for improving application execution and choosing the right Java virtual machine (JVM) address only a few aspects of system architecture that affect overall Java performance. When selecting an embedded Java platform, you must take into account a host of other factors, beyond the scope of this article, that have an impact on performance. Among them are hardware processor selection, Java compatibility and supported APIs, application reliability and scalability, the choice of a real-time operating system (RTOS) with associated native libraries and drivers, the availability of Java development tool kits and middleware, graphics support, and the ability to put the application code into ROM.
Once you've selected a hardware and software development platform, there are a variety of factors to consider that will help you choose the best-performing Java virtual machine (JVM) for your application.
Although the average Java bytecode application executes about ten times more slowly than the same program written in C or C++, how well an application is written in Java can have a tremendous impact on performance, as a study by Lutz Prechelt, "Comparing Java vs. C/C++ Efficiency Differences to Interpersonal Differences" (Communications of the ACM, October 1999), has shown. In the study, 38 programmers were asked to write the same application program in either C/C++ or Java. Applying statistical analysis to the performance data for the programs revealed that actual performance differences depended more on the way the programs were written than on the language used. Indeed, the study showed that a well-written Java program could equal or exceed the efficiency of an average-quality C/C++ program.
Various approaches are available for boosting bytecode execution speed. They include using a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, an ahead-of-time compiler, or a dynamic adaptive compiler; putting the Java application code into ROM ("ROMizing" it); rewriting the JVM's bytecode interpretation loop in assembly language; and using a Java hardware accelerator.
JIT compilers, which compile bytecode on the fly during execution, generally aren't suitable for embedded applications, though. They produce excellent performance improvements in desktop Java applications but typically require 16 to 32 MB of RAM in addition to the application's requirements. The large memory requirement places JIT compilers out of reach for many categories of embedded applications.
Share some of the techniques that you use in designing embedded Java systems.
Ahead-of-time compilers rival JIT compilers in increasing Java execution speed. Unlike JIT compilers, they're used before the application is loaded onto the target device, as their name indicates. That eliminates the need for extra RAM, but it creates the need for more ROM or flash memory (that is, storage static memory), because compiled machine code requires four to five times the memory of Java bytecode. Compiling ahead of time tends to undermine one of the great benefits of the Java platform because a measure of dynamic extensibility can be lost, since it may not be possible to download new versions of compiled classes. Additionally, any dynamically loaded code, like an applet, won't benefit from ahead-of-time compilation and will execute more slowly than resident compiled code.
Profiling Java code, although somewhat complex, can help minimize code expansion when you're using an ahead-of-time compiler. A good goal is to compile only that 20 percent of the Java classes in which the application spends 80 percent or more of its time.
Dynamic adaptive compilers offer a good compromise between JIT and ahead-of-time compilers (see Table 1). They're similar to JIT compilers in that they translate bytecode into machine code on the fly. Dynamic adaptive compilers, however, perform statistical analysis on the application code to determine where the code merits compiling and where it's better to let the JVM interpret the bytecode. The memory used by this type of compiler is user-configurable, so you can evaluate the trade-off between memory and speed and decide how much memory to allocate to the compiler.
Placing the bytecode into ROM can contribute to faster application performance. It doesn't make the code run faster. It does, however, translate the code into a format that the JVM can execute directly from ROM, causing the code to load faster by eliminating class loading and code verification, tasks normally performed by the JVM.
Another way to speed up bytecode execution without using ahead-of-time or dynamic compilation techniques is to rewrite the bytecode interpreter in the JVM. Because the interpreter is a large C program, you can make it run faster by rewriting it in assembly language.
Java hardware accelerators, or Java chips, are the ultimate option for speeding up code execution. They're emerging in two fundamental configurations. Chips of the first type, such as Chicory Systems' HotShot and Nazomi Communications' JSTAR, operate as Java coprocessors in conjunction with a general-purpose microprocessor, in much the same way that graphics accelerators are used. Java chips in the other category, like Patriot Scientific's PSC1000 and aJile's aJ-100, replace the general-purpose CPU.
Clearly, the latter are limited to applications that can be written entirely in Java. As for the first type, adding components of course raises costs, so this type offers a viable option only when the cost is acceptable. Indeed, the price of Java chips has been high because of relatively low production volumes. A high-volume solution, however, may be forthcoming in the form of the ARM940 general processor with an integrated Java accelerator, called Jazelle.
The Prechelt study determined that the average memory requirement of a program written in Java is two to three times greater than for one written in C/C++. Even the compact nature of bytecode, usually about 50 percent smaller than compiled C/C++ machine code, can't offset that overhead. Recognizing that trying to drop Java in its original, desktop-oriented form into embedded systems won't work, Sun Microsystems, Java's originator, took the language through several evolutionary steps in an effort to tailor it to the embedded environment. Today, the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), represents the latest, most evolved, and slimmest version of Java for the embedded space.
You can trim J2ME by eliminating classes and code components that aren't needed for your application. The JVM, native libraries, core classes, and application bytecode go into ROM. JVMs for embedded applications generally run under 500 kB, whereas class libraries for J2ME typically don't exceed 1.5 MB. Java components that affect RAM requirements include the JVM (for bytecode execution), the potential dynamic compiler, the Java heap, and the number of threads (the latter two obviously depend on the application). Executing as much of the application as possible using an interpreter -- while maintaining acceptable execution performance -- helps contain the memory footprint.
Selecting a highly scalable operating system and C run-time package allows you to tune these software components for optimal memory efficiency. Scaling the Java environment can be complex, however. Usually, a two-stage process is involved. First, you can use the command line verbose option, java -v, to see the classes an application uses and then manually extract the needed libraries and classes. If this process doesn't save sufficient space, you can use filtering tools, like JavaFilter from Sun's EmbeddedJava platform.
If you're using Java, you should expect to increase memory and CPU resources compared with using C/C++ (see Table 2).
Of course, your choice of JVM is one key to optimizing Java performance for your application. Obviously, you need a JVM designed for embedded applications.
Embedded JVMs are highly user-configurable to match different embedded system requirements, but which embedded JVM should you use? Java benchmarks are meant to help you evaluate JVMs and Java performance, but you need to be careful about which ones you use and about the conclusions you draw from them. A good benchmark score for a particular JVM doesn't necessarily mean that using it will make your application go faster.
Consequently, before evaluating a JVM, you have to evaluate any benchmark to determine how meaningful it may be to your application, taking into account the whole Java environment that's associated with it. Some benchmarks are very application-specific (a chat server benchmark like VolanoMark, for instance) and may not apply to the kind of Java applications you're developing. Additionally, because JVM vendors commonly optimize their products to achieve good benchmark scores, the scores can be misleading about how much a given JVM will improve the performance of your particular application. Conversely, if your application has specific problems in certain areas, an environment that's optimized to improve general processing won't solve those specific processing problems.
When considering a benchmark to determine the overall performance of a Java application, bear in mind that bytecode execution, native code execution, and graphics each play a role. Their impact varies depending on the nature of the specific application: what the application does, how much of it is bytecode versus native code, and how much use it makes of graphics. How well a JVM will perform for a given application depends on how the unique mix of these three functional areas maps onto its capabilities. Given these variables, the best way to benchmark a JVM is against your own application. Since that's not possible before the application has been written, you must find those benchmarks that are most relevant to the application you intend to write.
Sorting through Java benchmarks to find the ones that are relevant for embedded applications can be confusing. SpecJVM98, for example, provides a relatively complete set of benchmarks that test diverse aspects of the JVM. Sounds good -- but Spec-JVM-98 runs in a client/server environment and requires a minimum of 48 MB of RAM on the client side for the JVM. That excludes it from any relevance to most embedded applications. In addition, it can't be used with precompiled classes.
Other benchmarks have different pitfalls. VolanoMark, for example, is a chat server implementation and is therefore relevant only for benchmarking applications with the same set of requirements as chat servers. The JMark benchmark assumes that the application includes the applet viewer and a full implementation of Java's Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). This benchmark can be irrelevant for the many embedded applications that have no graphics or have limited graphics that don't require full AWT support, such as devices running a PersonalJava minimal-AWT implementation.
Embedded CaffeineMark (ECM), the embedded version of the CaffeineMark benchmark from Pendragon Software (it has no graphics tests), is easy to run on any embedded JVM, since it requires support for basic Java core classes only, and it doesn't require a large amount of memory. More importantly, there's a high correlation between good scores on this benchmark and improved bytecode performance in embedded applications.
To get the most meaningful results from ECM, you must use exactly the same hardware when testing different JVMs. You must also pay attention to implementation differences among the JVMs you're testing. If, for example, you're comparing a JVM with a JIT compiler against a JVM without one, it's important to run the JVM that has the JIT with the java
-nojit option on the command line to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison.
ECM will typically make any JVM using compilation look good, no matter the type of compilation, because it includes a very small set of classes and always repeats the same small set of instructions. Dynamic compilers just cache the complete translation of the Java code in RAM and execute next iterations of the tests in native code. Ahead-of-time compilers can easily optimize the loops and algorithms used in ECM, too.
Although the industry abounds with other Java benchmarks, like Java Grande, SciMark, jBYTEmark, Dhrystone benchmark in Java, and UCSD Benchmarks for Java, there is no "ultimate" benchmark that can give you certainty about Java and JVM performance in embedded applications. The best strategy is to identify a suite of benchmarks that seem most relevant to your application and use the combined results of those benchmarks to help predict Java performance in a particular system environment.
Furthermore, the existing benchmarks may not measure other aspects of your application code. Tuning Java applications to meet performance goals may require addressing many program functions besides bytecode execution. Some of those functions -- for example, thread management, synchronization, method-to-method calls, class resolution, object allocation and heap management (including garbage collection), calls to native methods, bytecode verification, and exception handling -- occur within the JVM. Because few if any benchmarks address such functions, it falls to you to conduct an in-depth study of a JVM's internals to understand how its design may affect crucial aspects of your application. Writing special programs that exercise critical aspects of a JVM can help you evaluate it for the application. If, for example, your application uses a heavy mix of Java and C code, you can benefit by writing a program that tests native method call performance. Other functions, including native code execution and such factors as network latency, may occur outside the JVM.
What if your application includes graphics? To start, there are two major factors that affect graphics performance in Java applications: Does the application's graphics display driver use graphics coprocessor hardware acceleration? Is the application configured with a lightweight (faster) or a heavyweight (slower) implementation of the Abstract Windowing Toolkit? (See the figure.) In addition, like any other high-level Java service, graphics performance is affected by the way that the graphics services integrate with lower-level native libraries.
Wind River's Personal JWorks includes a good benchmark for evaluating graphics performance in embedded systems. The benchmark targets the PersonalJava AWT with a set of 39 tests of images, buttons, scrolling, text, and basic 2-D graphics.
Finally, you need to consider the performance of your CPU. To help you identify CPU-bound performance, you should supplement simple benchmarks by running real-world applications that exercise large amounts of different, complex Java code. Such test code must meet a number of requirements: It should contain a large number of classes that reflect an estimate of the real application (20-plus is a good ballpark). It must also be large (thousands of lines, at least) and have no file system access and no graphics. Some existing programs meet all those criteria. The GNU regular expression package, regexp, for example, comprises about 3,000 lines of code and more than 21 classes, providing a large number of expressions to parse and match. Another program, the Bean Shell interpreter, is a simple prime number sieve that has 70 classes and several thousand lines of code. JavaCodeCompact, Sun's PersonalJava ROMizing tool, also would make a good test program.
The result of running these programs as test cases illustrates the wide variance in the meaning of benchmark scores. For example, a JVM using a JIT compiler may run Embedded CaffeineMark up to 30 times faster than when the nojit option is turned on (thus running in pure interpretation mode), but the same JVM runs the Bean Shell and regexp tests only about one and a half times faster when using the JIT compiler. (The apparently impressive thirtyfold speedup on a simple benchmark like Embedded CaffeineMark is achieved through caching techniques that the compiler uses on the small amount of code and classes in ECM.) The difference in results clearly demonstrates that high benchmark scores may not translate into a commensurate level of performance improvement in real-world applications.
Actually, SpecJVM98 and JMark yield results that most closely approximate those for real-world applications. They do suffer, though, from the limitations discussed above. In particular, the usefulness of the former in the embedded space depends greatly on your ability to overcome the problems associated with your test infrastructure requirements.

Note: This recall has been reannounced.
Firm's Recall Hotline: (888) 597-6597CPSC Recall Hotline: (800) 638-2772CPSC Media Contact: Julie Vallese or Patty Davis, (301) 504-7908
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Products: Polly Pocket dolls and accessories with magnets
Units: About 2.4 million play sets (an additional 2 million play sets were sold worldwide)
Importer: Mattel Inc., of El Segundo, Calif.
Hazard: Tiny magnets inside the dolls and accessories can fall out undetected by parents and caregivers. The magnets can be swallowed, aspirated by young children or placed by a child in their nose or ears. When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation, infection or blockage, which can be fatal. Aspiration to the lungs requires immediate surgery. Magnets placed in the nose or ears can cause swelling and be difficult to remove.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC is aware of 170 reports of the small magnets coming out of these recalled toys. There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet. All three suffered intestinal perforations that required surgery. A 2-year-old child was hospitalized for seven days and a 7-year-old child was hospitalized for 12 days. An 8-year-old child was also hospitalized.
Description: The recalled Polly Pocket play sets contain plastic dolls and accessories that have small magnets. The magnets measure 1/8 inch in diameter and are imbedded in the hands and feet of some dolls, and in the plastic clothing, hair pieces and other accessories to help the pieces attach to the doll or to the doll's house. The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on some of the play sets. Contact Mattel if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall. Polly Pocket magnetic play sets currently on store shelves are not included in this recall.
Sold at: Discount department stores and toy stores from May 2003 through September 2006 for between $15 and $30.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel to arrange for the return of the sets and to receive a voucher for a replacement toy of the customer's choice, up to the value of the returned product.
Consumer Contact: For additional information contact Mattel at (888) 597-6597 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.service.mattel.com

The goal of Cub Scout Pack 115 is to offer Scouting as a viable choice in every young person's life. While most youth with disabilities are "mainstreamed" into traditional packs, we recognize some boys need a little more. Pack 115 is geared toward boys grades 1st-5th who have very significant needs and require hands-on assistance and modifications to the program. This group is best suited for lower-functioning children who are not ready/able to participate in their local packs.
Parents, please feel free to stop into a meeting to try out Scouting to see if it is a right fit for you and your child.

Bae in contention again at midway point at Riviera
Bae Sang-moon is off to another great start at the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles. The next step is a better finish.
Bae played bogey-free on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under-par 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus when the second round was suspended by darkness.
Bae is at 9-under 133. He was tied for the lead last year going into the weekend but fell from contention.
Dustin Johnson, who led after the opening round at 5-under 66, opened with two birdies but never got any closer. He had a 70 and joined Jim Furyk (68) among those three shots behind.
• Defending champion Bernhard Langer shot an 8-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Champion Tour's ACE Group Classic in Naples, Fla.
Bob Tway is in second, with Olin Browne another shot back.
• Ohio native John Hahn had six birdies and an eagle in his back nine for a 10-under 61 to lead the Africa Open by two shots in East London, South Africa.
Hahn, 25, who's from Hudson and played collegiately at Kent State, is at 16 under overall in the tournament, which is part of the European and Sunshine (South Africa) tours.
Former NFL player Sharper investigated for other rapes
Prosecutors say former NFL safety Darren Sharper, who has been charged with drugging and raping women in California, is under investigation in connection with five more rapes and 11 druggings in other states.
Sharper appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, but his arraignment was postponed until Thursday at the request of his lawyers. Prosecutors immediately filed a motion to raise his bail to $10 million and outlined details of other alleged criminal acts in Las Vegas, Tempe, Ariz., and New Orleans.
Sharper, 38, played in the NFL from 1997 to 2010, mostly with the Green Bay Packers. He was a six-time All-Pro.

Collateral damage
Sober living facility owners claim Police, Fire departments used excessive force
By André Coleman 03/04/2014
Owners of a Pasadena sober living home who are currently facing nearly 200 misdemeanor charges in relation to the property and some of their tenants have filed claims for damages against the city for alleged "intimidation" and "civil rights violations."
Felicia Edelman and David Wohlman, who operate Uncle Dave's Sober Living House at 389 Ashtabula St., filed separate claims for $25,000 or more each on Feb. 14.
Edelman and Wohlman are due back in court on Thursday, March 13 for a pretrial hearing, with trial expected on April 28.
Dell Varela, Robert Silva, Alfonso Guitterez, Garrett McDuffie, Patricia Muro, Jesse Delgado, William C. Miller and John S. Nicholson — all listed as witnesses in Wohlman's and Edelman's claims — are residents of the Ashtabula Street address. They have also filed separate claims for damages against the city.
Armed with a search warrant, police raided the house on April 9.
"It was early morning and I heard, 'police, search warrant,'" wrote Varela. "A large gun was aimed at me and I was scared out of my mind." The other residents said they were forced out of the house and videotaped without their permission. During the search, police found beds for 27 people living in the two-story home. The raid was led by the City Resources Against Substandard Housing (CRASH) Unit, a multi-agency task force used to identify and address neighborhood crime problems.
In August, prosecutors filed 192 misdemeanor charges against Edelman and Wohlman, among them alleged violations of the state Fire and Health and Safety codes, as well as Pasadena's Municipal Code.
"The CRASH team entered our sober living [home] by force with submachine guns and handguns pointed at our residents," Edelman wrote in her claim.
The inspection came on the heels of an investigation launched after fire killed two people living at an unlawful boarding house on El Sereno Avenue. The owner, Jeanette Broussard, faces 136 misdemeanors. The city also filed 141 charges against former City Council candidate Nicholas Benson—who uses several other names, including Nicholas Mnkandla — and his wife Eva Meyers for a facility they operate at 280 W. Washington Blvd.
Broussard's trial is set for April 3. Benson and Meyers face trial on April 7.

Rambus, a leading designer of interface and DRAM technologies, has clarified its positions in regards of the case that is set to be reheard in October and which involves Hynix Semiconductor and Micron Technology.
"While both Micron and Hynix did file suit against Rambus back in 2000, the allegations at that time were around the validity of the Rambus patents, not monopolization claims. Also, the Delaware court found in favor of Micron with respect to spoliation, to which Rambus has appealed," said Linda Ashmore, director of corporate communications at Rambus.
According to Rambus, the Northern District of California court found in favor of Rambus following a trifurcated case that included spoliation, but also including patent infringement and Rambus behavior at JEDEC.
"In April 2009 the court validated the $397 million judgment in Rambus' favor. Hynix has appealed that decision. Both of these appeals are going through the CAFC together. A hearing was held in early April 2010 and the news this week indicates the CAFC has asked for a rehearing of the appeals on October 7, 2010," stated Ms. Ashmore.
DRAM makers accuse Rambus of illegal patenting of crucial interface technologies.

Possibly.would liked him to have given Danny maun the ball when he scored his 2nd try but when you see the line you have to go for it.well done to all the boys.excellent performance.i was impressed with leek too,he looks a good prospect.

Hat's off to him, I've called him more than most, but he was awesome today. On your point Fred, it is certainly up there with them if not the best he has played IMO. Well done Gaz tremendous day at the office this afternoon.
He and the team looked a totally different proposition to the Batley that lost to Workington, Doncaster and Whitehaven.
Agree with you Termie on Leak, his distribution from dummy half is superb, he looks a class above either Mennel or Flanagan passing the ball, he's maybe just lacking Flanagan's yard of pace off the mark, but he certainly looks the business.

The lads continued where they finished against Keithley and hit the straps well today. I thought Moore and Breth were excellent today along with Moore
He was good but worthy of two mentions, maybe not quite that good hehehe.
I thought Davies was immense too and very possibly his best game too he put a couple of great passes out as well as his hit/work rate.

I agree Moore played very well. It was good to see the team in general offloading more in the tackle and playing less safety first rugby which resulted in a good game to watch.
My man of the match was Davies from a good team performance.

Gareth Moore was a top performer yesterday definately one of his best games for the dogs IMO. Great to see a good response after all the deserved critisism of him. Big games still to come more of the same please . Also Davies stood out in a much improved home performance . I like the look of Leek the ball came away from the ruck area Quicker In fact a top performence from all of our boys . Can we keep it going on Sunday at Halifax ?. Well done to the team and the coaching staff for turning a dying season into one of hope In the last two games they have answered the critics myself included in positive style.
Posted 14 August 2013 - 06:44 PM
Davies workrate is tremendous- and I think he did the full 8o minutes
I am sure that other than a few games the kid has played 80 mins in the vast majority of the game this season. Must be one of the top tacklers

Vanilla Wafer Cake
(This is an old family favorite from
Bonnie Fly of Goliad)
• 2 sticks butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 box (12 oz.) vanilla wafers, crushed
• ½ cup milk
• 1 can coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Melt butter, mix in sugar and then add eggs one at a time.
• Add vanilla wafer crumbs and milk.
• Mix well and stir in coconut, pecans and vanilla.
• Pour into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 300 to 325 for one hour. Turn upside down on a cake plate.
Stuffed Cabbage
(from Sherry Gloor
of Goliad)
• 1 head cabbage
• 2 cups saltine cracker crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp. butter
• ½ stick butter
• Remove large leaves from cabbage head (about 6), and cut up remainder of cabbage.
• Place in sauce pan with large leaves on top and boil in salted water until tender (approx. 20 min.).
• Drain and mash the cut-up cabbage saving the outer leaves.
• Add the cracker crumbs, chopped onion, 2 tablespoons butter, egg, salt and pepper to taste to the mashed cabbage.
• Stir until mixture is completely blended. Line colander with leaves and put ingredients on top of leaves.
• Place colander in a pot with about two inches of water in the bottom; but you want colander to fit in pot so it doesn't sit on top of water.
• Place lid on colander and bring water to boil. Then simmer for about 30 minutes so you will be steaming the cabbage.
• Remove colander from pot. Turn bowl upside down and place on top of colander and flip.
• Now your cabbage leaves are on top with the stuffed cabbage underneath. When ready to serve, slice cabbage and pour the 1/2 stick of browned butter over it.
