Cancer Services Extend Reach from Philadelphia
to Northern New Jersey
(Philadelphia, PA) – Hackettstown Community
Hospital has joined the University
of Pennsylvania Cancer Network, extending Penn's
Cancer Network to 29 hospitals in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, including the northern New Jersey counties of
Morris, Sussex and Warren. This relationship provides
Hackettstown Community Hospital with support and expertise
of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University
of Pennsylvania, one of the premier cancer
centers in the country, in helping Hackettstown build
and expand its own cancer program and develop its new
$6 million cancer center on its campus.
"This relationship with the Abramson Cancer Center
is of great benefit to our hospital and to our entire
community," said Gene C. Milton, President
& CEO of Hackettstown Community Hospital.
"Joining the prestigious University of Pennsylvania
Cancer Network means that we will receive the expert
consultation services to create a leading community-based
cancer program, ensure access to the latest procedures
and clinical trials, and provide our physicians with
colleagues to confer about the latest research findings
and treatments. This translates into better care for
patients in northwestern New Jersey."
When completed, the new cancer center will provide a
full range of radiology procedures for diagnosing cancer,
such as digital mammography, as well as chemotherapy,
radiation therapy and a full range of support services.
These services will be located on the first floor of
a new medical office building. This building is under
construction and will be connected to the hospital.
The new Cancer Center is expected to open in the summer
By joining the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Network,
the residents of our tri-county service area will have
ready access to the highly specialized clinical services
available at the Abramson Cancer Center, as well as
more than 200 clinical trials available through Penn.
In addition, Penn offers a full range of conferences
for physicians, nurses and other health professionals
on the latest cancer treatments as well as community
outreach programs the focus on early prevention and
providing information for those affected by cancer.
Through this relationship, the hospital's physicians
will be able to consult with Penn cancer specialists
about specialized services available at the Abramson
Cancer Center.
"Our Cancer Network helps us meet our mission
to provide the best possible care to cancer patients
and families in this region," said John
H. Glick, MD, Director of the Abramson Cancer
Center of the University of Pennsylvania. "By
joining together and supporting the efforts of Hackettstown
Community Hospital, we have created the right team to
help patients in this community receive outstanding
care and get treated as quickly as possible."

This article will describe a configuration of Virtual Private Network connection by using an OpenVPN application. Firstly, you will be exposed to some basic theory behind Virtual Private Networks. Then, the article will guide you with step-by-step instructions on how to setup a OpenVPN virtual private network by using Symmetric Key Encryption and Public Key Encryption. This article is meant for everybody who possesses a basic knowledge of linux administration and networking.
If you work in IT industry, it is very common that you do not use only a single computer sitting on your work desk, but you also utilize other systems connected to the same local area network. As long as you are sitting on your office chair this approach should not be a problem. However, this situation can become complicated once you are in hurry, and therefore, you need to take some of your work home. You are able to take you company laptop with you, but to fully utilize company resources you would also need to be connected to the company's local area network. The solution to this problem depends on what resources are needed to complete your job. If you need some shared files available on the company's network, you may just simply copy these file to your laptop's hard drive or to USB stick. In case you need to work on the system installed on your company's PC you can also use some virtualization tools such as VirtualBox or VMware. Soon enough you will realize that this approach is not as convenient as you would like it to be, and that you spent more time by copying files and synchronizing virtual systems than concentrating on your work. The ideal solution in this case should allow employees to access company's local resources from an external network. This can be done by forwarding ports of the local services via firewall. Exposing local ports to the Internet is not entirely the safest approach. The more ports are exposed from your local network to an external network such as the Internet, the more vulnerable your local system will become. The ideal approach in this situation could be a use of just single port for all services coupled with encryption and user authentication. This can be achieved, for example, by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
VPN networks are often operated as client-server applications. Good example could be an implementation of MS Windows PPTP or OpenVPN on the Linux Platform. VPN server is directly running on a firewall, where it creates virtual network interface and additional virtual network subnet. VPN server is waiting for connections on the external network interface of the firewall where it performs authentication of a VPN client application. After successful VPN client authentication a VPN client is given an IP address from a virtual subnet. Consequently, an encrypted tunnel is created between VPN client and VPN server, which is used for safe transfer of packets between two distant networks via the Internet. Services, which a VPN client can connect to, can furthermore be defined by firewall rules. This way firewall ensures that VPN client can connect only to services it is allowed to connect. If the previous couple sentences looked to you little difficult to understand, do not despair! Everything will become clearer once we see how encrypted tunnel works in an example.
VPN tunnels are generally considered as something mysterious and everybody who mentions them, is "cool" :-) However, there is nothing to be afraid about, in the fact principle of Virtual Private Network is very simple. Data in IP networks are exchanged in packets. Information about destination and a source of the packet can be found in the packet's header. The actual user data are carried as a payload. Let's imagine that ssh client wants to talk to ssh server over the Virtual Private Network. Packets leaving a host's network interface located on the local network are sent with a destination port number 22. When this packet reaches a VPN tunnel it is encapsulated into the VPN packet where original packet is now treated as a payload. If the VPN server listens on the port 443, the VPN packet will carry a destination port 443.
When looking at the previous figure it is apparent that this kind of network data transfer over the VPN is a waste of transfer rate because original packet has a smaller payload space just because it needs to fit into the VPN tunnel packet. In VPN analogical sense this can be considered as a drawback.
One solution to this problem is to add a correct key for a particular server manually. If you feel 100% that this warring can be ingnored simply remove a line with a incorrect key. In this particular case below an offending key is on line 21. To remove a line 21 ( use your line number )use a following command:
sed -i '21d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts
error message:
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/user_name/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/user_name/.ssh/known_hosts:21
RSA host key for 10.1.1.4 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
Next couple lines describes simplest process of getting started with Perl and CGI on Linux system in particular Debian Linux. Although the following steps are performed on a Debian Linux system they should be valid for all other distributions expect the step of Apache web server installation. First we need to install Apache Web server:
# apt-get install apache2
for RPM based distribution this step could involve yum
# yum install apache2
If you did not get any major errors the apache2 web server should be up and running at this point. Therefore we can navigate to /usr/lib/cgi-bin directory
# cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin
and create a following function based CGI program named hello.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl -T use strict; use CGI ':standard'; print header; print start_html('Hello World'); print h1('Hello World'); print end_html(); exit;
Here is an Object-Oriented alternative of the above program:
#!/usr/bin/perl -T use strict; use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header; print $cgi->start_html('Hello World'); print $cgi->h1('Hello World'); print $cgi->end_html(); exit;
At this stage we need to make our new CGI program executable:
# chmod 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
All is now ready to launch our first CGI based web page by navigating our browser to and IP address of the apache server. In my case I'm running Apache locally so I use a localhost:

...so Caroline ought to score what she used to score, when she landed everything. Am I the only one who sees this glitch in logic? I'm not saying she's improved by much at all, only saying for the same if not worse performance she's gotten better scores.
Last edited by cornell08; 10-16-2009 at 03:12 PM.
i will always state THAT THE USFSA And ICE NETWORK Doesn't LIKE Caroline Zhang--see icenetwork. stating gilles on.74 out of 3rd. and nothing about how close caroline zhang is from third-
also that gilles is with what his face--name as a coach--they perfer white american coaches. to me --that the usfsa doesn't want caroline zhang up there and will do everything in power behind the scenes to keep her down--including alexi gilles fans with the mule kick--not realizing GILLES SkATES LIKE A JUNIOR SKATER_ -has nothing do it-except she is white.no artistry no-nothing.
zhang might have skated a bit slow--aslo no triple triple, maybe the score could have been higher ; maybe gilles got a bit higher based on a smidge higher in jumps not much. there is NO DIFFERENCE BETSWEEN GILLEs and Zhang in scoring -to pcs Caroline got higher pcs. she skated solid--gilles not so sure. (overmarked a bit).
sorry about being rude-but it seems caroline zhang gets rooked everytime, andwant to make sure she isn't the one they want up there by keeping her scores too low.
On the other hand, maybe she got zero for an illegal spin or something?
also how low--maybe she should have got a 58. or low 59.
with all the brouhaha about sasha--getting special treatment. they want to make sure caroline doesn't get the marks to make room for SASHA and rachel.
see even junior skaters beat carolina out--not realizing Kira was OVermarked in her short programs.
I expected closer to 60 for Zhang. Oh well, now it's a battle for silver, one which I'm farily convinced Asada will win. But if she slips up on both 3A's the door might be opened for someone else.
As an Asian person myself, it's a bit disconcerting that your paranoia of racism is, in effect, making your comments vaguely "reverse-racist" in their own right.
Just out of curiosity, when was the recent time Mao tried 3+3 in a competition? I thought she gave up 3+3 jump and fully focused on 3A long ago..

Evolution has many meanings.
- Change over time
- Evolution of the cosmos
- Evolution of living things
- Evolution of culture, technology, etc.
- Changes within existing species
- Morphological (anatomical)
- Genetic (change in gene frequencies)
- Common ancestry
- Within a species
- Descent of all species from a common ancestor
- Darwinian evolution
Darwinism: Descent with modification through unguided processes
- Descent: "I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long ago."
- Modification: "The preservation of favorable individual differences of variations, and the destruction of those which are injurious (natural selection)."
- Unguided processes: "There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings, and in the action of natural selection, than in the course which the wind blows. So I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to the working out of chance."

Scuffle with police described in hearing
WAILUKU – One police officer testified he was punched in the ribs, and another officer said he was elbowed in the face as they struggled with a suspect last week in a Haiku neighborhood.
"I was telling him to stop resisting," officer Craig Stephens testified Wednesday. "I don't recall him saying anything. It happened very fast."
After wrestling on the ground with the officers, Tomasi Caones-Paahana, 21, managed to break free and ran on South Holokai Road toward Hana Highway, the officers said. He was caught without incident a few hours later in Haiku, police said.
During a preliminary hearing Wednesday in Wailuku District Court, Judge Adrianne Heely ruled there was sufficient evidence to support charges of two counts of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest against Caones-Paahana.
With the prosecution deciding not to go forward with an escape charge, Heely set bail at $11,000 on the charges. In another case, Caones-Paahana's bail was set at $41,000 for charges including first-degree burglary and first-degree theft.
The assault case unfolded the afternoon of Feb. 13 when Stephens and officer Rahul Mehra were assigned to investigate a report of suspicious activity involving males going door to door trying to solicit landscaping business near Haloa and South Holokai roads.
Arriving in the area first, Mehra parked his patrol car in front of a white sport utility vehicle that was parked on the shoulder. Two men began getting into the vehicle when Mehra activated the blue lights on his patrol car to initiate a traffic stop.
"They were trying to start their vehicle and get away," Mehra said. "They seemed nervous and didn't want to make eye contact."
When Mehra asked for the names of the occupants, including a woman, the passenger later identified as Caones-Paahana gave a fake name.
On his way to the scene, Stephens heard Mehra checking on whether there were warrants for any of the occupants and recognized the woman's name as Caones-Paahana's girlfriend. Stephens called Mehra to tell him that the woman's boyfriend was wanted on a warrant and an all-points bulletin.
When Stephens arrived, he recognized the passenger who had given another name as Caones-Paahana.
After the officers told Caones-Paahana he was under arrest, he stepped out of the vehicle. Mehra grabbed Caones-Paahana's left hand and Stephens grabbed the suspect's right hand while they attempted to handcuff Caones-Paahana, who "started to tense up," Stephens said.
"I told him, 'Stop resisting, you're under arrest,' " Stephens said. "We fell to the ground."
Caones-Paahana was flailing on the ground and swung back his elbow, hitting Stephens in the side of his face, he said. He also felt elbows and knees to his left rib area, Stephens said.
After Caones-Paahana broke free once, Mehra said he chased and tried to tackle the suspect, wrestling with him on the ground. After managing to get out from under Mehra, Caones-Paahana used his left hand to punch the officer three times in his right rib area as they were on their knees facing each other, Mehra testified.
He said Caones-Paahana took an aggressive fighting stance against the officers before Mehra pulled out his Taser. "He turned and ran," Mehra said.
Stephens said he tried to chase Caones-Paahana but lost sight of him.
"Both of you had hands on him," defense attorney David Wiltsie said while cross-examining Stephens. "Yet somehow, with two big officers grabbing him, he was able to break free?"
"He was," Stephens replied.
Caones-Paahana and the vehicle driver, David Leialoha Jr., 20, of Kahului, were charged with first-degree burglary of a residence on South Holokai Road after a laptop stolen from the home Feb. 13 was found when police executed a search warrant for the Ford Explorer they were in, police said.
Leialoha was released after posting $20,000 bail, court records show.
Caones-Paahana also was charged with first-degree theft for allegedly being in possession of some of the jewelry stolen in a Jan. 15 burglary of Maui Master Jewelers on Baldwin Avenue in Makawao.
Police said $52,000 in jewelry was found in a backpack in a car where Caones-Paahana was sleeping Jan. 20 at Maui Marketplace in Kahului.
In court Wednesday, Deputy Prosecutor Kim Whitworth said Caones-Paahana was unemployed and a flight risk.
She said he misrepresented his residence, noting Stephens was told Caones-Paahana no longer lived there when the officer went to the address in Makawao to look for the suspect.
Caones-Paahana is scheduled to be arraigned March 7 in 2nd Circuit Court.

Why do we say, "Eating high on the hog"? Highest on the hog would be its head, and that's all scrapple to me. And the back isn't as nice as its hams or loin meat. (Many apologies to any vegetarians here.)
So, what's so great about what's high on the hog anyway?
Boar regards,

Very thoughtful of you, Dear. High on the hog is where the loin chops, the most valuable cuts, come from. Just below the fatback.
You can read about how to slaughter and process a pig here:
Warning! This is not for the faint-hearted. I've seen hogs killed both on the home farm and commercially, and this article just about made ME sick.

As Jackie said. In Why You Say It, Webb Garrison says, "But for a real feast, slices [of the hog] must come from high on the hog -- above the center of the animal's leg.

You ain't seen nothin' till you see sausage being made. They have the ground up meat (everything except the squeal) piped to a faucet with a tapered faucet, push one end of a roll of casing onto it, turn the knob, and the casing swells and thrashes about like a monstrous snake. All sorts of fantasies evoked.

You ain't seen nothin' till you see sausage being made.
As has been said, "Those who love law or sausage should not view too closely the process by which it is made."
everything except the squeal The phrase is used in Upton Sinclair's description of Chicago's meat packing industry (The Jungle, ch. 3: the tour guide says "They use everything about the hog except the squeal"), but I believe Sinclair was using what was already a commonplace description of the industry's efficiency.
Edit: Ch. 14 of The Jungle makes clear that the phrase predates with that book. In The Yankee of the Yards (1927), a biography of Gustavus Swift, it is at called a "hackneyed remark", with conjecture that it originated with a remark by Swift had been heard to make.
Edit #2: The remark does not mean that Chicago meatpackers systematically adulterated food products with unpalatable parts to the animal. Rather, "The enormous volume of animals meant that even body parts that had formerly been wasted now became commercial products: lard, glue, brushes, candles, soaps." A later federal report listed six hundred separate products produced by the pork and beef packers. The industry required such efficient use of the whole animal, for meat-sales alone did not cover costs of production, without the sales of hides and other by-products.

Now I wonder what sort of character, upon having just sat through a public reading of The Jungle, would archly intone, "Proscuitto, anyone?"
Veins of ice, I'd say.

Believe that was uttered by our old buddy, Otto von Bismarck, aka the Great Unifier of Germany. offered without comment...

High on the hog is where the loin chops, the most valuable cuts, come from
true, and this may well be the source of part of the idiom, but it also seems likely that the "hog" referred to is the early british colonial coin (bermuda/hog-money/YCLIU), and that living high off of the hog refers to the "high life" resulting from having money to burn? the phrase "whole hog" likely stems from the same source.
and shouldn't this be in animal safari?

Easy Being Green1 of 12
By Laura Vogel
Beauty products made with organic ingredients—free of man-made pesticides and fertilizers—have moved out of the tree-hugger fringe and into the spotlight, yet shopping for them can be confusing. The USDA has three personal-care-product labels: "100 percent organic," "organic" (95 percent organic) and "made with organic ingredients" (at least 70 percent organic). Obtaining certification is costly, so some lines contain a high percentage of organics, even if they don't bear the USDA label.
Coming Clean2 of 12
The owner of Organic Fiji, Bob Rogers, was wowed on a vacation by the lustrous hair and skin of the islanders. He discovered their beauty secret: cold-pressed coconut oil, and he went on to create a line of body care created with it, all hand-crafted by Fijians. Organic Fiji's rich soap is made from 100 percent USDA certified organic ingredients. A great choice for dry or delicate skin, this rich and soothing bar has vitamins A, B, C and E—naturally occurring in coconuts—making it an inexpensive green treat.

Suki Skincare falls into the USDA organic category, made with 90 percent organic ingredients. Free of synthetic ingredients, the skincare and makeup line was created by the eponymous owner at her Massachusetts kitchen table in 2002. This vegan, natural-ingredient-packed tinted moisturizer includes the anti-inflammatory salicylic acid (sourced from white willow bark) and many natural emollients (from beeswax to grape-seed oil).

Created by Rhode Island–based founder Barbara Brock (a seventh-generation farmer), Farmaesthetics was first sold at an organic farm stand in 1999. This 100-percent organic oil is one of their most popular products: It only contains three ingredients—sweet soy oil, honey absolute (a distilled essence of the sweet stuff) and vitamin E. It makes for a deeply moisturizing treatment when applied to the body post-bathing, or you also add it to the tub for a decadent soak.

Somber Red Sox regroup, beat Indians 7-2
CLEVELAND Mike Napoli hit a three-run double in Bostons seven-run second inning and the Red Sox, playing with heavy hearts one day after the deadly bombings back home, beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Bostons players were already en route to Cleveland when they learned of the explosions near the Boston Marathons finish line that killed three and injured more than 170. The Red Sox were hoping to bring some relief to those affected by the tragedy, and they may have while winning their fourth straight.
The series opener was also Indians manager Terry Franconas first game against the Red Sox, the team he led to two World Series titles during eight seasons in Boston.
Orioles 5, Rays 4
BALTIMORE Matt Wieters homered, Nate McLouth scored twice, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the struggling Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Tuesday night despite allowing three home runs.
The Orioles let a four-run cushion dwindle to 5-4 in the eighth but held on for their fifth straight home win over the Rays, dating back to last year.
Desmond Jennings homered on the games first pitch for Tampa Bay, and Kelly Johnson and Evan Longoria connected off Pedro Strop in the eighth. But the Rays could muster only six hits against Jake Arrieta and five relievers.
Last-place Tampa Bay has lost four straight and seven of eight. Although the Rays scored more runs than they totaled in their previous three games, they went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position and are 1 for 34 in that situation over their past eight games.
With a 4-9 record, Tampa Bay has matched the worst start in franchise history (2001 and 2005).MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

I like it but we'll have to see how our guard spots sure up over the next season. Really depends whether one of our young guys develop into a legit 1 or 2. Next year is a long way away!
Yes for the first time in 5 years or so the focus has not been on next off season, but now, yet....you can't help but think about what we can do with a full MLE next off season.
At first glance people may want to finally reunite Nash and Dantoni (assuming he is does not get...well you know) but Nash will be like 38 or so and while I do not doubt he will stay play top notch ball, he is obviously not a long term solution
so I propose we bring back Felton,like Nash he is familar with Amare, but Nash has not played with Chandler Raymond has, also Raymond has thrived playing run and gun Dantoni ball and hard nosed Larry Brown type ball which is good if Mike is coach next year or when Dantoni is....well you know and a more defensive minded coach is brought back!
Plus if Shump does what I expect of him he will be starting over Feilds come the start of next year and he (Felton) and Shump in the backcourt would be serious defensively.
sure Mia will call, but like I said Raymond was teamates with two of our starters (as well as friends off the court with both of them) and all jokes aside if Dantoni is back next year you gotta believe Raymond would take a deal over Mia. simpily because of how well he did in Mike D's offense,especially if it is for the same exact dollar amount, this time he would get a 4 or 5 year deal and we could even throw in a no trade clause for 2 years so he knows he has a stable home.
re-sign Toney and Feilds and this is now looking like a real team here!!!
I like it but we'll have to see how our guard spots sure up over the next season. Really depends whether one of our young guys develop into a legit 1 or 2. Next year is a long way away!
Idk if Raymondo would take the MLE, I'd say it depends on this season with the Nuggets -- surely, if Lawson steals all the limelight, and/or Felton has a sub-par season...it is possible.
But lezbehonest. Nash would probably still be the ultimate, even at that age.
His court vision, passing skills, selfless distribution, and shooting accuracy...are a match made in heaven. Nash would never have had the talent that he would have with us.
He's 38, but how old is Kidd? I don't see Nash slowing down with his 3pt range, shooting accuracy, and savvy court vision and selfless distribution skills.
CP3 Light.
We have a full season of Shumpert, Douglas, and perhaps Barea to enjoy before even considering this, too
Safe Bet if we sign JJ....then there is no need to have Bibby, JJ, Douglas, Schumpert and fields....
I expect a trade for a better shooting guard.....
could see schumpert and Douglas traded.
The great thing about our work in progress backcourt...is that we have the assets (and looming MLE) to really refine it as the season progresses.
Spend this season gaining more information on our team's overall strength, and the players we have, and we're a shrewd move or two away from being "complete".
Barring contract restructuring and signing CP3 it all comes down to what position we need to improve the most. If Douglas/Shumpert/Fields/Barea(?) grow into a nice role then we can improve whatever is lacking.
I'd be ok with Nash for 25 minutes per game wouldn't want him playing 35 with his lack of defense.
edit -- even a day after the trade happened, i always have thought it was such an even wash type deal, I haven't accepted Felton isn't still a Nugget traded by us for Melo, and Miller isn't still a Blazer, lol....smh@myself.
Felton was kind of pissed at the Knicks for trading him after he took less money and years on a contract to play in New York. He might not come here on that reason alone. Would love to have him back though.
Felton is a free agent next year. With all the uncertainty surrounding the Blazers, I think Ray Ray would bolt from there and look to play elsewhere. Knicks should go hard for this guy next year! He's the missing piece to this championship puzzle. Great defense, capable passer (averaged 9.0 assists w/ the Knicks), another good floor leader.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
And that's why I didn't understand why did Denver want to make the melodrama bigger and bigger back in February? They intentionally added Chauncey to the mix and we had to respond making Ray a part of that deal. Of course, we didn't know we will chase Tyson this offseason, but we could make that three team deal simple. Besides of our "old-new" Knick fellow Balkman, who's under binding contract we didn't keep any of the trash players until today, even Billups who was no trash player but a valuable addition has been traded.

Plus like I said we could throw in a no trade clause to give security
He did take less money to come here but had him really pissed was he liked NY. he said in an interview he knew it might be just a 2 year lease and he could be just showcasing himself, so while I agree he was shocked, he would give serious consideration to it...it really is the best place for him!!!
I would start communicating with his agent now
Felton couldn't run the pick and roll with Amar'e.
The pick and roll is one of the most basic plays in basketball.
I like the dude but I don't think see how he'd be better than Steve Nash, who is a better passer and a MUCH better shooter. Steve Nash could run an offense in his 50's if he tried.
I say bring in NASH & Camby next year, & hope Crawford returns on the cheap this year.
Nash (Douglas, Shumpert)
Crawford (Fields, Walker)
Anthony (Shawne Williams, Derrick Brown)
Amar'e (Jordan, Joorts)
Chandler (Camby)
This could win a title.. no?
I didn't like felton.. People say that Jamal Crawford was a chucker.. Felton was one if not worse.. It drove me absolutely crazy when he would throw up these shots that he had zero chance of making... especially because of how bad our rebounding was it was almost always a wasted possession. He can't run the pick and roll, he put up points but I want a good passer that can score not a scorer that can't pass at pg.

Bipartisanship still elusive at Minn. Capitol
There's a lot on the agenda when Minnesota lawmakers return to St. Paul next month, but no strong indication that bipartisanship will be the new standard.
The men who will hold the Capitol's five most important jobs met Monday for a discussion sponsored by Forum Communications. The Democrats are Gov. Mark Dayton along with incoming House Speaker Paul Thissen and new Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk. They were joined by new Republican leaders, Rep. Kurt Daudt in the House and Sen. David Hann in the Senate.
Democrats will be in charge come January, and their leaders say they want to collaborate with Republicans. But both Hann and Daudt say Democrats will be able to enact an agenda themselves, and questioned if there would be room for Republicans.

Pink, Playful & Stacked!
Starting off in a sexy and colorful halter-style blouse and blue denim mini, her awesome cleavage is soon tumbling out of the front in her lacy and satiny blue bra. After getting down just to that bra, sure to set off lots of daydreams about big breast sex and your cum on her tits, Miley plays with her shaved pussy before removing her bra so she can better press her knobs together in front of our horny eyes.
Whether she's standing over us or laying on the carpet, she uses her upper arms to squeeze her squachies together and push them toward us in all their soft pink roundness, with those oh-so-suckable pink nubs at the ends. She takes off her panties and fingers her clam, but our DDF cameraman never loses his concentration in capturing those juicy knockers from all the angles breastmen love to see!
The way Miley lets her bells just sway to the side, looking so soft, even while she playfully sticks out her pierced tongue at us, will have you strokin' up a storm!

Governor talks energy, environment in live webcast hosted at MAREC
Posted on November 28, 2012
Nearly 60 people from West Michigan filled a seminar room at Grand Valley's Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center November 28 to hear a live webcast of Gov. Rick Snyder's vision for the state on energy and the environment.
People from West Michigan businesses and organizations, including the Sierra Club, Muskegon Chamber of Commerce and Grand Valley, listened to Snyder's messages on the importance of preserving Michigan's natural resources, such as the Great Lakes and the land, and also focusing on alternative energy and how the state can leverage it.
Snyder suggested areas of improvement and focus throughout the state, such as recycling processes in counties, urban farming and preserving the state's trails, among others.
"Now is the time to be proactive," Snyder said. "We are the comeback state and now it's time for us to step up on important issues like energy and the environment. Today we're starting a dialogue that will result in action."
Arn Boezaart, director of MAREC, said he was glad MAREC had the opportunity to host Snyder's presentation and bring together energy and environmental professionals from across West Michigan.
Snyder delivered his message at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station in Hickory Corners in Kalamazoo. MAREC was one of three locations in Michigan chosen by Snyder's office to virtually host his presentation; the other locations were in Detroit and Traverse City.

Keep YankeeJune 29,2013
Keep Yankee open
Last Friday morning, on my way to work in Montpelier, as I zipped on my bike down Berlin Street past Al Blakeys house and solar array, I began thinking about his letter (Vermont Yankee Who needs it? June 20). As might be expected from someone who has put his money where his mouth is, he raises many thoughtful ideas. In particular, he cites some new solar and wind power construction statistics and then says, so much for the belief that green energy cannot replace nuclear.
In one important sense low-carbon content nuclear power is already green. The lifecycle (including mining, processing, everything) of its carbon footprint is virtually identical to that of wind, solar and hydro power, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It makes little sense to replace a large, existing, reliable source of very low-carbon power, in the name of climate change activism.
Furthermore, wind and solar energy cannot replace nuclear, any more than heating oil can replace gasoline. Fill a gas tank with heating oil, and the car stops. Replace a 24/7 baseload generator like Vermont Yankee with intermittent, weather-dependent wind and solar, and the carefully balanced transmission grid will crash in a flurry of brownouts, electrical fires and blackouts. The modern transmission grid can accept about 20 percent intermittent power. More than that, and service and equipment will degrade.
Mr. Blakey calls for a new microgrid transmission system, which to my knowledge has never been successfully built and used in a large area. Is it doable? If so, how much will it cost? And how long would it take to build? Vermont Yankee or no Vermont Yankee, our existing need for baseload power remains. Sadly, Vermonts utilities, once almost entirely carbon-free, now rely more heavily than ever on carbon-emitting natural-gas burning plants in southern New England.
Renewables proponent David Blittersdorf estimates that by 2050, Vermont will need 18,000 million megawatt/hours, or three times the electricity we use now. Last year, all of the industrial solar generators in the Vermont SPEED program produced just slightly more than a millionth of that amount 19,000 mw/h. Or to bring the matter closer to home for both Mr. Blakey and myself: According to the Vermont Department of Public Service, moving just 5 percent closer to the states goal of 90 percent total renewable energy would require solar panels on every square inch of an area 1.3 times the size of the city of Barre.
As technology improves, Vermont may very well have a sparkling (and not merely sparking) renewable power future. But at present, intermittent renewable power alone cannot be its backbone. Perhaps we can avoid the fate of pro-renewables Germany, which opted to close nuclear plants and then was forced by demand for baseload power to order the construction of many new coal-burning plants. At least until a clean, safe, economic, reliable alternative is up and running in Vermont, we should not throw out the Vermont Yankee baby with the bathwater.

FOX Asks the Question, Republicans Respond
Sometimes the world turns inside out. Normally, we expect our sports stars to hit the strip clubs and get rowdy while our politicos throw good money after bad. If you've been paying attention the last month or so, though, you saw that all go upside down.
On the one side we have a bunch of schmoes taking financial advice from a guy like Lenny Dykstra and we know how that turned out. Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee apparently paid for some of its operators to hit a club in LA called, I sh!t you not, Voyeur West Hollywood.
Come on guys! How are we supposed to keep this straight? Democrats do stuff like this because they're the party of Kennedy and Hart. But, with the exception of our dearly departed Charlie Wilson, the GOP staked its reputation as the party of "family values." How can we make informed decisions if we can't rely on stereotypes and generalities?
Now maybe these stories are just outliers and the exception that proves the rule. But in a week that ends with the Nationals playing .500 ball, you can understand my consternation. Where's Eliot Spitzer when you really need him?
4 Comments
I think I'd like this Voyeur West Hollywood place, but I doubt any of my clients would take me there. I'm schmoozing with the wrong crowds.
Ol' Client Number 9. The Voyeur West Hollywood still can't be better than the place Johnny Hola showed Freddo down in Cuba. Come to think about it, Jimmy Carter's mom used to smoke pot at Studoi 54. I'm not sure how that fits into my comment though.
Truth in Politics.. or is this half truths.. or the democratic way.. I 'm just not sure I can tolerate this bullsh*t anymore…. it's not permitted for the Nats to be at .500, next thing you know the Tigers will be top of the AL Central it's just unconstitutional
Phillies Outside
Maybe it all means the Nationals will win the NL Pennant this year. Nah.

Trip Information Page | Interactive Travel Map
Today, Secretary Clinton participated in the London Conference on Afghanistan. The Secretary said:
"[W]e have just wrapped up a very productive conference and we have seen the results of cooperation in the international community on a number of very important issues. I want to thank Prime Minister Brown and Foreign Secretary Miliband, the Government of Afghanistan, and the United Nations for bringing us all together and sponsoring this important meeting.
"And I think that what we have seen is a global challenge that is being met with a global response. I especially thank the countries that have committed additional troops, leading with our host country, the United Kingdom, but including Italy, Germany, Romania. We also are grateful to all those who made their contributions known today. There are other countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, who are providing air space rights and other transit assistance.
"But as important as our military mission is, we know that force alone cannot achieve our goals. Last week, I released the U.S. Afghanistan and Pakistan Regional Stabilization Strategy. Its goal is to support Afghan-led efforts to transform and strengthen their own society and ensure their own security. As we heard a lot today, starting with Prime Minister Brown and President Karzai and many others, the goal is to have an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned strategy, and we are seeing that translated into reality every day.
"President Karzai laid out an ambitious agenda for reform at his inauguration last year. There have been a number of plans put forth and Afghanistan has moved forward on preparation for a conditions-based transition to take responsibility for its own security and an agenda for development and governance, which is critical to the future. Among the decisions made today was to establish a Peace and Reintegration Trust Fund to support the Government of Afghanistan's efforts to draw disaffected Taliban back into society so long as they renounce violence, renounce al-Qaida, agree to abide by the laws and constitution of Afghanistan.
"Japan has shown an extraordinary commitment with its announcement of $50 million for the fund. And in parallel, the United States military has been authorized to use substantial funds to support the effort, enabling our commanders on the ground to support Afghan Government-led initiatives to take insurgents off the battlefield.
"We've agreed to support NATO's plan to work with the Afghan Government on the conditions-based, province-by-province security transition. As President Obama has made clear, our efforts will allow us to begin to transition our own troops out of Afghanistan in July of 2011. But as I said this morning and would underscore this afternoon, this is not an exit strategy. It is about assisting and partnering with the Afghans.
"Now, the kinds of reforms that President Karzai and the Afghan Government have announced are important, and we're going to watch them carefully and make clear our expectations that they be fulfilled. Among them are their efforts to combat corruption, provide more public services to people, effectively manage international aid. We also had very constructive conversations last night at dinner, hosted by Secretary Miliband this morning at breakfast, hosted by Prime Minister Brown and during the conference, about how the international community can support these reforms more effectively, including significant progress toward Afghanistan's benchmarks for debt relief from the Paris Club and international financial institutions.
"I also believe very strongly, as is apparent in what I say about this issue, that women have to be involved at every step of the way in this process. To that end, I unveiled our Women's Action Plan. It includes initiatives focused on women's security, women's leadership in the public and private sector; women's access to judicial institutions, education, and health services; women's ability to take advantage of economic opportunities, especially in the agricultural sector. This is a comprehensive, forward-looking agenda that stands in stark contrast to al-Qaida's recently announced agenda for Afghanistan's women, attempting to send female suicide bombers to the West.
"So the agreement reached today brings us closer to the goal of a stable Afghanistan and advances our efforts to combat the violent extremists who threaten all of our citizens."

Down the Rabbit Hole.....
The idea that the USG and international community can to coopt the Taliban to lay down their IED's and come to a talking-table is patently absurd. The Taliban is interested in one thing only. The destructon of the Corrupt Karzai regime, the US and allies, and the establisment of Extreme Shariah Law in Afghanistan, the region and the world. Taliban is already the prime mover of drugs-trade money into AQI terror financing. Can you imagine paying them to stop fighting and having Karza's family paying them to grow and distribute Opium?....Mad Hatters! them

Just expect to hear plot no jutsu from children but its hard to get upset. They are just so darn cute.
so ur saying nagato reading a book and becoming good is not plot no jutsu
lol people take this shitty manga to serious
PnJ does exist but people use it as crutch when they character lose. Take this war for example. It's a pointless war since they could summon the 10 tails with the beast they already had. So honestly obito could have started infinite tsyukomi before the naruto pain fight.
LOL PnJ is just an excuse for those who were unsatisfied with the plot
the ONLY thing I can say that is Plot no Jutsu was when Kimmimaru died. he was ready to wreck Gaara and was about to when he died of illness... and I dont even like kimmi, thats just my opinion... everything else was just plot people who are over powered by people who readers dont think should win are just plot... not plot no jutsu...

I disagree cuz remember gaara didn't use shikaku chakra during that fight. If he would have I think gaara still would have won. But if he was stuck on not using it then yea kimimaro would probably have won.
Great thread! 100% true. Some people just can't see the fact the manga isn't going they want it, if they don't like it piss off. Sasuke sucks, Madara sucks lmao Jk fanboys I'm sorry xD

Hats off to you
Kishimoto wrote Naruto with the plans of Sasuke, and Naruto becoming the most talented ninjas. So when people say that these two only won because of plot, that's bullsh!t. Kishimoto already knew how Naruto would end from the second the first chapter of Naruto was written. The stories called Naruto for a reason. Obviously he's going to become the strongest, and most likely surpass all. People use plot-no jutsu as an excuse when they can't agree with the outcome of a situation in the manga. The pure, and simple truth that the author displays is only what exists. So next time you can't agree with something that's happened remember your the one reading it, and Kishimoto's the one writing it, so deal with it.
I agree.. But I hate how Sasuke summoned the hawk in Danzo fight >_>
I love more the Talk-no-Jutsu, that Pnj is bullshi*, like you said xD
I was thinking about the Kabuto vs. Itachi and Sasuke fight these last few days, and I can't help but feel PnJ made quite the appearance on it.
Kabuto and Orochimaru probably had made Uchihas their life-obsession... Hell, they probably jerked each other's rooster thinking of Uchihas. They drove their obsessions to such point they even conjectured the Sharingan-Rinnegan connection. They likely studied which underwear each Uchiha wore when they died.
Kabuto should have known what Izanami was. So Itachi loudly announces he's to deploy Ground Hog no Jutsu on Kabuto, and rather than recall the summon, which I believe he could, or if not, simply get his ass out of there, he just herp derps around waiting for the anvil to drop on his head.
Makes no sense, other than his ignorance serving to further the plot.
As a plus... Orochimaru had access to Sasuke's body. Unrestricted access. Why not simply get his sperm and breed as many Uchihas as he wanted? Plus, he had access to an Uzumaki... Why not breed SOT6P's?? Makes no sense.
Repeat after me: PnJ doesn't exist.
I wonder, would the mods approve a custom jutsu called plot no jutsu? Where the effect is just random shit happens?
explain hiruzen>1st 2nd and orochimaru.

To give out evidence, here are some of the most recent PnJ claims I've seen, disproved. I will also include an example of what a real PnJ is. Do not reply if you did not read as I will not answer.
A Real Plot-no-Jutsu (non-existent):
Naruto is fighting Pain and is about to die. Suddenly, Sasuke comes flying in and both saves Naruto and defeats Pain. He explains that he had encountered and defeated Itachi, and decided to come back to the village to see how things were going. Once he came back, he saw the situation and came to Naruto's aid because he unprecedentedly changed his mind set and goals.
Plot no Jutsus disproved:
1."OMG dude the Juubi could just wipe out everyone in the battlefield and then Madara and Obito could win! LOL Kishi is a stupid writer; plot hole and PnJ are so annoying!"
No, and the reason behind it is simple. Madara and Obito are alive and doing all that they have done to fulfill their only goal: Eye of the Moon Plan.What is this? Also known as Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Eye of the Moon Plan is a very powerful genjutsu that can only be cast by the one who controls the Juubi. Its purpose is to entrap every living person in an illusion in order to make the world a better place by preventing war and hatred.If they wipe out the whole Shinobi Alliance –taking note that already countless men and women have died as part of the war- the only people left would be elderly men, a few reconnaissance shinobi like Shikaku and Inoichi, and the children. Not worth the whole Eye of the Moon Plan, right? Exactly. Moving on.
2."PnJ is so annoying! UGH KISHI WTF!?? Madara could just annihilate Naruto and the others so easily!"
No, and again, the reason behind it is simple. You have to take into account that Madara has the attention span and attitude of a spoiled 5-year-old brat. This is why he fooled around with the Kages for I don't know how many chapters before finally beating them. He also wants to toy around with the Juubi's powers.He tried to kill Naruto, Bee, Kakashi and Guy with many TTBs and Countless TTB's but failed to do so. If you don't like it, that your problem. However, it is not a plot hole or plot protection. That's one of Madara's weaknesses, his personality.
3."Tobi could have simply kidnapped Naruto during the Uchiha Clan Massacre."
No. Here are the reasons why:
The UCM occurred shortly after Obito's attack on Konoha with the Kyuubi. During this attack, he kidnapped Kushina and held baby Naruto hostage. He extracted the beast from Kushina and ordered it to attack Konoha. His plan ultimately failed because Minato defeated him and sealed the Nine-tails into Naruto. Obito retreated.He re-appeared during the UCM; however, this time with Itachi. Itachi let him aid in his massacre if he accepted to leave Konoha and Sasuke alone, Obito agreed.If Obito had tried to kidnap Sasuke, Itachi would have come after him. Something nobody wants. Secondly, if Itachi somehow failed, Hiruzen would have realized Naruto had been kidnapped and would have gone immediately just as Minato did. The reason being because the Jinchuuriki is a crucial aspect for the high-elite of any village. The common people might shun him away, but the higher-ups know that the Jinchuuriki is a powerful asset to the village's protection and attack power during any attack or war.
Characters make mistakes, they have personalities which guide their actions and the plot has a storyline more than just senseless VS battle –that, in many cases, could never be carried out coherently as we think they would. If you believe in PnJ, you simple do not understand the manga in its totality.
Well you completely summed what i would write, if i wasn't so lazy. And to the people who use this phrase, sit down, drink some tea, and contemplate the circumstance you apply the phrase to. PS: You're lucky you're poignant. Fanboys are normally scared off by that.
I agree
Lets face it. Plot No Jutsu ruined the Hyuuga clan.

This is it. The official launch day. You've seen the trailers. You've bought your popcorn, soda and candy combo. You are in your seat. The lights fade. You are reminded to mute your cell phone ringer. You adjust your 3-D glasses. And here it is Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition 3.0 in 3D! Or AAMEE 3-D as we like to call it. Wait why are you taking off your 3-D glasses? What? Your head is hurting? You didn't ask for the ability to package CS6 applications for the enterprise in 3-D? But our marketing research firm told us that 3-D was still popular. Ugh!
We did not in fact, make AAMEE 3.0 in 3-D. Although that would of been awesome! Okay, no it wouldn't. A little bit awesome? Okay, I'll drop it. AAMEE was created back during the CS5 cycle to address the fact that our proprietary installer format was about as helpful to enterprise IT admins as a puffer fish. A puffer fish? What the heck is this? Does Adobe know anything about how things are deployed in an enterprise? What am I supposed to do with this tetraodontidae? But AAMEE outputted the CS installers into pkg and msi files and worked with existing deployment solutions and life was good. Okay, life was bumpy at first, but then it got better. But some folks in the IT admin community simply patted us on the head and said "Nice, Adobe. I'm going to keep my workflow as it is, thank you. You go play now." And honestly, that was fine. At least we gave folks the option to use our tool and those that did mostly liked it and thanked us even.
Flash forward to the release of CS6. Adobe has introduced new licensing and activation in CS6 that are as helpful to IT admins as, well, a puffer fish. If you are not into the puffer fish metaphor I apologize. That's all I got. But don't worry, when we saw these changes coming we said wait, wait, they do not want a puffer fish. So that was the main goal of this release: minimize the impact of the CS6 licensing and activation on the the IT admin. Nothing else. Nothing. Okay, that is not true. We also wanted to update the look and feel. We wanted to re-evaluate the text and make it more user-friendly. And we also wanted to make it easier for the IT admin to push out the items in the Exceptions folder. Okay, well that is it. Nothing else. Except we wanted to give admins a way to remotely update the Creative Suite apps. But other than that, nothing else. Really.
Let's get into some specifics. How bad is this puffer fish and how are AAMEE 3.0's de-puffer fish abilities? If you do a manual install of CS6 on a system the following will happen: An Adobe ID request will come up. Your end users HAVE to login with an Adobe ID account or they can't use the software. Oh, that will be popular. Wait, the systems aren't online or behind a secure firewall? Won't work. Also, the systems HAVE to activate on a regular basis. Once again, not connected to the internet or behind an overly secure firewall? Won't work. Now maybe you do imaging for your organization. You do an install on one base system. Login in with an Adobe ID and serialize it. Looks fine. Then you clone it to another system. Won't work. There is now a relationship between the machine and the licensing in CS6. Let's say you used a third party packaging tool like the venerable JAMF Composer tool. Guess what? Won't work. No place within Composer to validate the Adobe ID or the online serial number validation.
Okay, so how well does AAMEE 3.0 reduce the pain of this puffer fish? First, using AAMEE 3.0 makes it so you only have to create/login with one Adobe ID on behalf of your organization therefore negating the need for your end users to have an Adobe ID at all or even know what one is. Second, the serial number is validated and activated within AAMEE 3.0. The end user's system does not have to activate because you have already done it using AAMEE. Third and final, if you are imaging then AAMEE 3.0 has a special unserialized/trial workflow and a new serialization executable that can be used to serialize once the image has been applied to the machine. BAM! Puffer fish be gone!
I realize this is a weird product announcement. But I wanted to cover again our focus for this release as there has been a lot of reaction in the comments of previous posts. We really have gone out of our way to make sure these licensing and activation changes have the smallest impact to our enterprise customers. In a perfect world, AAMEE would of also removed the licensing-to-machine relationship all together, but that didn't happen and I think we have an adequate workaround. Not awesome, but bearable. But the truth is, nobody likes change when there isn't an obvious benefit for them personally. Like the time the construction on Highway 99 was going on and I had to do a massive reroute. I was grumpy. But then I realized that the reroute took me by one of my favorite bakeries so I could stop and get breakfast each morning. And there is no hidden bakery with the CS6 and AAMEE 3.0 release.
Okay, there is no hidden bakery but we did provide betas of our the new command line tools with this release: Exceptions Deployer application and Remote Update Manager which are pretty sweet and we'll go in depth on them in another post. And we even put the Adobe Customization Wizard X in the Windows installer into AAMEE's Utilities folder just to save time for IT admins who need to tweak their Acrobat install on Windows.
Give us the links already! Okay, but before I do, let me warn you that AAMEE 3.0 is only for CS6 media with a volume serial number. It does not work with CS 5.x media, eLearning Suite, TLS, etc. Just CS6. It does not work with retail serial numbers. AAMEE 3.0 and AAMEE 2.1 can not exist on the same system. That is my list of caveats, except the obvious one: AAMEE 3.0 should only be used for good, never for evil. Good and evil is very much on my mind as I am counting down the hours for another 3.0 release: Diablo III. Links Jody, give us the links!

Adobe Application Manager, Enterprise Edition AAMEE 3.0 – Mac
Thanks to the entire extended AAMEE crew for pulling together this release. I am very lucky to work with such a great team. And thanks Adobe for giving me the resources to put puffer fishes back into the ocean where they belong.

I love running. Running distances for fun, like on a Sunday- all day. I know this is not the norm because I only know a few people that get as excited as me when I ask if they want to go- and I mean I can count them on one hand.
It was a Saturday this past January. I had just returned from some morning skiing when my phone rings. It's my friend Allison (she is counted on that one hand mentioned above). "Where are you? It is registration day and the 30k already sold out in 5 minutes." she says. I reply "What? Oh better get on it" . So my race begins, at a computer, six months before the physical start line. There I was feverishly pecking away my information with credit card in hand. The result? Allison has the last spot in the Big Horn Wild and Scenic 50k and me close behind landing first on the wait list.
A few weeks later I am explaining my predicament to Mike Foote, accomplished mountain runner on The North Face Ultra Running Team and Race Director for the Rut 50k & 12K at Big Sky Resort. "You're first on the wait list? Oh don't worry, you will get in. You better start training." Foote says. He was right. In April I got my confirmation, I was in!
Training….uhhh….Training for a 50k, I like running, but I am no expert on actually training for 31.6 miles. I sought out the internet for some advice.
"The 50K schedule alternates between hard weeks and easy weeks to allow recovery and help prevent overuse injuries that may occur from ramping up mileage too quickly. Rest is essential."
"….there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a foray into ultra-running. Adapting to increased mileage, developing the ability to run while fatigued and experimenting with different nutrition and hydration needs are all very individual endeavors."
I like that it is subjective to the person and I think I can work with this. Rest is something I have failed at in the past especially during the taper. I have definitely experimented with the ability to run while fatigued and with different nutrition and hydration, not that it was a success. With all that in mind I put together this checklist on what I essentially needed in my training:
1. Time
2. Enthusiastic and Willing Training Partners
3. Hydration
4. Nutrition
Time, where does it go? This was my biggest challenge. Trying to find the time to log all the miles. I found that I had to juggle priorities to hit the numbers. As always, I would have liked more time in the day to run more.
Training partners. As I mentioned before there are a limited number of people I can call and say "What are you doing on Saturday? Want to run all day?" or "Meet me at 6 am for a trail run?" and get a "Yes, I'd love to" response. A good partner is essential and will keep me motivated and it's always more fun to share the experience, especially in Big Sky, Montana and the greater Yellowstone ecosystem where the views alone are awe-inspiring. Another thing in our world today is "there's an app for that" and guess what? There is an app for training! I found my iPhone app Runmeter to be an effective training partner for only $1.99. It logs my distance, time, pace and elevation. This app assisted tremendously by connecting my "how I feel today" to some hard numbers. Runmeter talks to me while I run, updating me on my distance, time and pace…I liked that a lot too. I have had many conversations with fellow runners and everyone seems to have an app that they like and use- that's great.
Hydration, managing this is essential. More miles equals more water, hydrating pre-run is ultra-important and I have learned to drain my hydration pack (a Nathan pack) before the downhill to avoid back pain later. Have you ever heard of ancient medicine like Aruveda? I have tried it- Aruveydic practitioner Callie Stolz (www.santoshabigsky.com) introduced me to this rehydration therapy: a warm cup of water with fresh lemon in the morning. It's a delicious way to start the day and I do think it has worked for me.
Nutrition, eating the right foods at the right time is important. I am still figuring this one out. Through much trial and error I have found what works for me and what does not. I have also learned to play it safe on race week with my diet. My husband and I have moved toward a plant based diet. We have kept our diet clean with organics and local when possible (sometimes hard to do, but worth it). I have found an Aruveyda approach to eating has been beneficial for me. Good websites like www.joyfulbelly.com and seeking advice from a professional- Aruveydic practitioner (Callie Stolz) provided more understanding on nutrition and digestion.
After all I hope all my training will make the day more fun, because for me that is really what it is all about. This Saturday, June 15 is the day I have been working for over the past 6 months. I am a little nervous, but mostly excited to spend most of the daylight running, because I love it. Wish me luck or better yet join me wherever you are by running a few miles on Saturday.
Looking for your next trail race? Big Sky Resort is hosting The Rut 50k and 12k September 14, 2013. Run the Rut- sign up today. There is limited availability and spots are going quickly. Oh and I recommend you start training!
I am still smiling at mile 20. After a down pour and lightning.
Enthusiastic running partner- Allison looking fast on an all day training run.
Enthusiastic running partners found snow! Sometimes you got to grin and bear it.
Look what my app can do! Runmeter logs all the important stats.

When did you start introducing meats?
What age or how long was your LO eating solids before you added meats?
What did you offer?
When did you start introducing meats?
What age or how long was your LO eating solids before you added meats?
What did you offer?
<Abigail 9/6/10>
Meats are actually one of the first foods I've offered my girls. Boiled chicken from a soup forms these soft shreds that are really easy for little fingers to grasp and are the perfect texture for gumming.
I did meats as a first food too. So about 6 months. Its an excellent source of iron.
We did chicken and beef minced up fine.
Mommy to 2 little boys!
DS1 11/1/07 BFed 7 months
DS2 11/6/09 BF 2 YEARS! and counting!
I don't remember the exact order anymore, but meats were very early on for us as well. Plain, very soft cooked.
25 May 96 and 14 January 08 and 27 February 2012
Meat was one of our first foods as well, just after avocado and broccoli. We started solids at around 6.5MO and by 7MO I was giving her chunks of beef and chicken drumsticks (skin removed) to suck on.
First time, SAH mom to my precious daughter born October 2009
Nursing 27 months and counting... I still love nursing so much and am SAD thinking the end can come anytime now...
We had be at solids for 3 monthsish. I introduced only poultry before the year point. So it was shredded chicken mostly and some ground turkey meat. Between Months 9-10.
I waited until the year point to introduce pork and Beef.
Way too lazy for formula
We did meats for real around 8 months, but she had had little tastes before that. Mainly crumbled ground beef and lamb, and turkey and braised chicken like from soups as mommal described. Lately (9 months) flakey white fish has been a fun choice for finger foods.
I follow the 3 day rule but otherwise have been pretty adventurous, since she has handled all foods fine so far . She even had a little bit of crab around 6 months. A few weeks ago she really liked chewing/gumming on squid.
Mom to Taiga born 6/2010
Pocket cloth diapers. Baby led solids. Full-time working mom. I my DH, DD, kitty Dr. Benway, and my working border collie Odin!
BF for 1 year and she and I still love it !!!!
My wife and I have been documenting our daughter's BLW progress through video on YouTube. We try to give her lots of new foods, so there might be some good ideas for you guys to use if you are searching for food to give your BLW little one! Also I try to give some comments in the video about what we have learned through the process. Here is Day 1 of our experience! I hope you find this helpful!

The Monster Girls Want to Play!
