Lately I've been on a craft bender and I blame it all on Pinterest and my fiercely competitive streak. Everything I've ended up pinning seems to end with, "I could do that. And better. AND CHEAPER!" The last one, not really compared to Ikea but let's leave that sacred ground alone. So here I am, with 10 yards of fabric, 5 meters of plywood, and a staple gun.
Anything you can do, I can do better.
The artist in me that is dying to get some fresh air after all the Excel files and Powerpoints and mind-numbingly boring emails at the office. It may manifest in a manic paper-flower making frenzy or rainbow cake baking extravaganza, but my artist side just needs to know that I'm not forgetting about her. When my hands start to itch and I dream about HOW to upholster a sofa properly, that means it's time to break out the art and crafts and let her have at it else there's just no living with the two of us. Can you just imagine two of me in the same room? Both loud and obnoxious and know-it-alls? Already I feel bad for The Boyfriend.
It'd be like this. But scarier.
There has been some bouts of this foray into the hand-made world such as the paper flowers and arc for Flores de Mayo, rainbow cake, MaraGuyver dinner, hemming my own pants with No Sew glue, omelettes du Mara, and putting together a shelf. Okay, okay. So I kinda cheated on the last one. I didn't exactly make it from pieces of wood that I sanded, painted, and installed. We bought it at SM and I just screwed it together. But the feeling is the same – you set out to do something with your hands and suddenly SOMETHING! It's like magic! ACCIO GLUE GUN!
Cake, anyone? Scrumptious and gorgeous enough for Pinterest.
Also, since The Move, I've wanted to contribute to it. And although my wallet's never seen better days, I try to make up for it with what little "talent" I have. The Boyfriend has been hard at work making it a habitable house. I just want him to finish with the painting and the regrouting and the rewiring so I can start making it into a home. Now that the place is slowly starting to come together, it has been easier to make any contribution since the majority of it has been decided already. Divide and conquer – The Boyfriend makes all the big decisions, I'll just take the little ones. So before we try and kill each other (there have been numerous attempts, I can't lie), we agreed that I would only care about two things – the bathroom and the headboard. (Oh, and ledges for the window. But that doesn't *really* count.)He isn't allowed any input unless asked and he can't criticize whatever it is that I want to do in those departments. So far, it's worked better than him asking me if we should go with Parisian Gray or Cashmere or Homespun Charm. Answer: IDGAF
Indifferent to the color, indifferent to the book.
The Boyfriend has been very encouraging in this DIY delusion of mine and he's a sweetheart for putting up with the monster. Thank God he hasn't relented to buying me a set of power tools else he really won't be able to have a choice. Especially not when there's a tiny, maniacal woman wielding a hammer drill 2 inches from his face. Mara + power tools = raincheck. Perhaps when I've gone to visit a mental health professional and gotten some medication, we'll revisit that thought.
And honey, you should see me in a crown.
Perhaps I might share some of my triumphs here, but for now, I'm happy enough to found the time to update this blog and let you all know that armed with only a staple gun and a rubber mallet, I WILL STILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

Not sometimes, not every-so-often but every time I enter a race or am on a hard ride, I think about quitting and giving up within minutes. Negative self talk, doubt in my abilities and general sluggishness tend to really bum me out and it always makes me want to stop. I think the most damning thing is in a race when you fire off and you see yourself getting dropped and not being able to catch up. Inevitably, "giving up" starts to surround thoughts.
I've found three things that have helped me power through all the slush that has helped out immensely.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
We all want to quit and giving up seems the best thing to do sometimes. As my coach, Tracy McKay has said on many of occasions, "Your brain is trying to protect you and will do everything it can to keep you comfortable." So not giving up and giving into that comfort zone and crushing through it is pivitol, in fact my biking buddy Stacey who teaching spinning would say that when your legs want to quit, all you need to do is tell them they are not quitting. It's that simple.
The mind is amazing of just how much control over the entire body it has, the ability to tell any part of your body "oh you're not giving up" is key for a successful race or ride.
Oh, and of course, these things can be directly applied to life issues as well. If you need some visual motivation, then make sure to check out Ol' Winston here with one of the best speeches of all times.

RUSH: One of the points that I was making with the people on Fox & Friends. Even though Obamacare -- and I want to explain this -- even though Obamacare is the law of the land, they're running active campaigns to sell it to people because only 35% of the American people support Obamacare. It is grossly unpopular. And the subject came up yesterday.
Here's a bill that is the law of the land. It's been in the implementation process for over a year. So why are they running ads for it? Why are they raising money? Why is Obama or anybody else in the regime running around doing campaign-style appearances to sell this, when it's already the law of the land? And the point that I made to the Fox people is what I said yesterday. There is the 2014 midterm election up ahead, and that's what they had their eyes on, and they know it's a negative. They want to win the House, the Democrats do. They've got this giant negative called Obamacare.
If you go back to 2010, 2010 saw the birth of the Tea Party. The Tea Party came to birth, came into existence because of Obamacare and the massive spending and debt. Average, ordinary Americans who had never organized politically before in their lives became affiliated with a bunch of different Tea Party groups, and they showed up to vote in massive numbers. The Democrats lost hugely. The scope of their defeat in 2010 still has not been accurately reported in the mainstream media. When you say they lost 600 or almost 700 seats, that doesn't sound like a big number, but you realize that some of those 600 were enough in the House to lose the majority.
They had control of the House and in 2010 they lost it. So what did they lose, 75, 80 seats, whatever it was? There are 500, 600 other seats they lost in state legislatures, in mayoral offices, all the way down to city council, town council, county supervisor. I mean, it was a nationwide, really deep down-ballot shellacking. Now, Democrats know if the same sentiment exists about Obama and any Obama issue such as Obamacare, the likelihood for a similar turnout in 2014 to 2010 could happen. The likelihood's very high. That's why they're campaigning. That's why they're trying to change everybody's opinion on Obamacare. That's why Pelosi went out there and said on the Fourth of July we need to stop and give thanks for "health independence."
They really think that they can win in 2014, the House, and I do, too, frankly, I think they can. But they know to do it they're going to have to reduce the opposition to Obamacare. And that's why they're out campaigning for it. Because otherwise it makes no sense. The bill's already law. Why campaign? It doesn't matter. The votes are in. But the public perception is killing them and the Democrats don't think that that will lead to victory in winning the House back in 2014. That's why they campaign on this. And my point to the Fox & Friends people, to me, this represents a really golden opportunity for the Republican Party.
Now, I'm sitting here continually puzzled why the Republicans do not take the opportunity they have here, which is the greatest opportunity they've ever had in this regard to contrast the differences between them and the Democrats. Up until Obama, the contrast has basically been one of rhetoric and words and predictions, and attempting to explain who liberals are and what they will do if they get power. Well, you no longer have to predict. We're living it. The Republicans don't have to come up with dire predictive consequences or any of that. All they've gotta do is point to the fact that nobody can get a job and health care costs are skyrocketing.
They've got the best opportunity they have ever had in our lifetimes to contrast conservatism -- there's the rub. They're really not conservative at the Republican establishment. But still, fake it. It's all about winning elections. Fake it. If you're not conservative, fake it. They've done it before. Great opportunity to contrast themselves here with Obamacare, because the Democrats are out selling it. The American people are already opposed to it. The Republicans won't have to work hard to gin up opposition; it already exists. So all the Republicans would have to do is tap into it.
See, what confuses me, and I must be bluntly honest here. Given what happened in 2010, the fact that the Republican Party did not embrace the Tea Party is something that -- well, it doesn't confuse me because I understand it now, but at the time I have to admit I was a little puzzled. Even though I knew that the Republican Party establishment was not that fond of conservatives, they still like to win elections. Had the Republican Party embraced the Tea Party, who knows what might have happened in 2012. Instead of acting embarrassed by them, instead of joining the Democrats in making fun of 'em, instead of acting like they're just a bunch of rank amateurs that don't understand politics and we really don't want to get associated with them. Had they embraced and brought the Tea Party in as a functioning powerful element of the Republican Party, they -- but they could do it again now.
It's the golden opportunity I was talking about. Because the opposition to Obamacare is already there; they don't have to create it. They just have to tap into it. And it is a sizeable majority of the American people, and to me it's a golden opportunity for the Republican Party to demonstrate that they are indeed on the side of average Americans who oppose this. But the Republicans want to do all that with immigration, and only with Hispanics. They're really motivated. They're really hell-bent here on showing Hispanics that they have what it takes on immigration.
Because of the massive focus on that issue, there are other things that are sitting out by the wayside here being ignored which I think are golden opportunities (such as Obamacare), particularly for holding the House and maybe even winning bigger elections down the road. I mean, what is it the Republicans are facing? The optics and the illusion that they don't like average people, that they're only for the rich and Big Business, and they hate minorities and all that.
Well, here's this. It's made to order. I don't know why they don't look at it this way. Maybe they think, "It's law of the land. Nothing we can do." But, man, there are so many really, really great teachable moments that still exist here. That's the point that I was conveying to the hosts at the Fox & Friends program this morning.

Testbed and Methods
We are going to investigate the performance of new Nvidia GeForce 182.06 driver using the following testbed:
- Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition processor (3.2GHz, 6.4 GT/s QPI);
- Asus P6T Deluxe mainboard (Intel X58 Express chipset);
- Corsair XMS3-12800C9 (3x2GB, 1333MHz, 9-9-9-24, 2T);
- Maxtor MaXLine III 7B250S0 HDD (250GB, Serial ATA-150, 16MB buffer);
- Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX1000EWL 1000W power supply;
- Dell 3007WFP monitor (30", 2560x1600@60Hz max display resolution);
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit;
- Nvidia GeForce 181.22
- Nvidia GeForce 182.06
Both versions of Nvidia GeForce driver were configured to provide the highest possible quality of texture filtering with minimal effect from default software optimizations. We enabled transparent texture filtering. As a result, our driver settings looked as follows:
- Texture filtering – Quality: High quality
- Texture filtering – Trilinear optimization: Off
- Texture filtering – Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
- Vertical sync: Force off
- Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
- Antialiasing - Transparency: Multisampling
- Multi-display mixed-GPU acceleration: Multiple display performance mode
- Set PhysX GPU acceleration: Enabled
- Other settings: default
This time we used the following gaming titles for our performance tests:
- Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
- Fallout 3
- Far Cry 2
- F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
- Left 4 Dead
- Race Driver: GRID
- Futuremark 3DMark Vantage
Although Nvidia promised a significant performance improvement in Half-Life 2 shooter, we didn't include it into the list of games for this test session, because Left 4 Dead game uses the same Source engine.
We selected the highest possible level of detail in each game using standard tools provided by the game itself from the gaming menu. We didn't use any non-standard settings, except a few situations, described separately later in the article.
For our tests we chose two most illustrative representatives of Nvidia GeForce GTX 200:
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 (2xG200b, 576/1242/1998MHz, 480sp, 160tmu, 64rbe, 2x448-bit, 2x896MB GDDR3)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 (G200b, 648/1476/2484MHz, 240sp, 80tmu, 32rbe, 512-bit, 1024MB GDDR3)
We ran our tests in the following resolutions: 1280x1024, 1680x1050, 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. We added MSAA 4x antialiasing to the standard anisotropic filtering 16x in all tests. We enabled antialiasing from the game's menu. If this was not possible, we forced it using the appropriate Nvidia GeForce driver settings.
Performance was measured with the games' own tools using the original demos. We measured not only the average speed, but also the minimum speed of the cards if possible. If there were no built-in tools for taking performance readings, we used Fraps utility version 2.9.8 to record our performance measurements in these games. In the latter case we ran the test three times and took the average of the three readings for further performance analysis.

Model Kate Upton has encored as Sports Illustrated's swimsuit cover model.
Per SI Swimsuit's official Twitter feed:
POLAR BARE: @kateupton in Antarctica is your 2013 SI Swimsuit Cover Model! bit.ly/UMdgck #WhereISwim twitter.com/SI_Swimsuit/st…— SI Swimsuit (@SI_Swimsuit) February 9, 2013
And according to Natalie Finn of EOnline:
The 20-year-old joins an incredibly elite list of models who've commanded the cover multiple years in a row: Christie Brinkley went back-to-back-to-back in 1979, 1980 and 1981; Elle MacPherson did the same between 1986 and 1988; Paulina Porizkova posed in 1984 and 1985 and Tyra Banks starred in 1996 and 1997 (though she had to share with Valeria Mazza in 1996).
As one can imagine, Twitter went crazy over Upton. Given that the photo shoot took place in Antarctica, she earns some props for toughness.
Then again, it's Antarctica and just being there had to be unbelievably cold.
Alas, reactions to Upton repeating on the cover:
The New York Post
Kate Upton will make 2nd appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. And, uh, wow: nyp.st/TWRgKf— New York Post (@nypost) February 9, 2013
Brooklyn Decker
Congratulations Ms.@kateupton !! Making history!— Brooklyn Decker (@BrooklynDecker) February 9, 2013
Darren Rovell
Congrats to @kateupton. First SI Swimsuit model to adorn back to back covers since Tyra Banks ('96 & '97)— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) February 9, 2013
This is funny
My wife just sent me the Kate Upton SI cover, asking me if I'd seen it. She's awesome.— nathaneide (@nathaneide) February 13, 2013
For the win!
Kate Upton w/ the repeat— VERDÈ (@rgreen13) February 9, 2013
This has got to be true, right?
Kate Upton's repeat as SI swimsuit cover is a reminder that Midwesterners are the most beautiful people in the world.— Alex Parker (@AlexParkerDC) February 9, 2013
Irony always finds a way to appear
Ironic that #TellAFeministThankYou trending on the day Kate Upton says she suffered frostbite and hearing loss in bikini in Antarctica.— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) February 13, 2013
It's true, though
Antarctica not bikini friendly. Really Kate Upton, really?— Joey Phillips (@livin_frat) February 13, 2013
But then again, that should be expected
Kate Upton on her recent Sports Illustrated shoot- "Antarctica is not bikini friendly".... really??????— Kiana Baharloo(@Kiana_Baharloo) February 12, 2013
Who wants to go to Antarctica?
Can't believe Kate Upton gets to go to Antarctica just because she's a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Or that she complains about it.— Abigail Weir (@ab_weir) February 13, 2013
And... Kate Upton
We can finally talk about Antarctica!!!!! @peterbutlerhair @mj_day @darciebaum.. Took us 2 months to thaw out— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) February 9, 2013
Upton also did an interview with the Today Show on NBC.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
(Video credit: MSNBC.MSN.com)
In the interview, per Scott Strump of Today, Upton stated:
"When I came back I was losing hearing and eyesight because my body was shutting down, it was working so hard to keep warm."
"I could really only do it for a minute and then everyone would come running and throw blankets on top of me and they would build me like a little blanket cave,'' she said. "I really went all out on this. We went there thinking we might not even get a shot, and came back with the cover."
Considering it's Antarctica, even trying to do a photo shoot there had to be difficult, let alone for a swimsuit magazine cover. That's simply impressive.

could you clarify this a bit
Do you just need adjacent colors to be different or do you need to see all 5 colors in your set of 5 spins?
Never mind I see you need all 5 colors.
Any permutation of all 5 colors is allowed. There are $5!$ of these.
Each individual spin has a probability of $\dfrac 1 {3125}$
Thus your probability is
$Pr[$all 5 colors in 5 spins$]=\dfrac {5!}{3125}=\dfrac{120}{3125}=\dfrac {24}{625}$

Compare great Jaguar Overheating Problems prices in Washington with Who Can Fix My Car.
Really excellent service and attention to detail. Care on everything and even the washer fluid level was topped up when the vehicle was returned. I will be using this mechanic again for certain.
Good communication beforehand. Job took <1 hour at Joe's workshop. Recommended.
He comes even if was late, cold and rain. Unfortunate he couldn't run a complet diagnosis because my car didn't start.
Great guy. Great work
Genuine guy, great personable service. Cant fault it - would thoroughly recommend.
well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE. Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade
Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else. And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea. The oil change was fine though.
Very efficient
Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.
Fist class service a device I would use again and recommend anyone to use
Fantastic price.....brilliant service...picked up and returned car the same day......recommend them as the top garage in the area....cheers guys.
Got a full service and MOT at a good price. No problems at all.
Brilliant service and a top bloke. Did exactly what was asked and even changed the Cam belt tensioner as is was noisey (no extra charge). Found some other issues and showed me the faults which I was given a quote for and have accepted. The price was higher than quoted because of additional work at my request. The bonnet release cable snapped on me so I couldn't change the headlight bulbs which got sorted. My car is going no where else EVER. The pick ip and delivery service they offer is a godsend. I will be recommending to all my friends, colleagues and family.
job not carry on until 18/10, feedback will be given after job has been done
Great service from the Tariq and the guys at Fenham Garage. Small problem (washers) turned into a big job due to the placement of the washer bottle behind the wheel arch! Tariq showed me the issue, explained what was required, the parts he would use and kept me informed throughout. Cheers guys
Price was as quoted, really good, would use again
Good job of servicing, the guys were helpful with advice (but not pushing for more work), also checked other things about the car that I was worried about and put my mind to ease. Glad to use them again!
The guys did a good job of replacing the timing belt - even though they admitted that there was more work than expected (and it took longer in the day), the price was left the same.
Excellent service i'll definitely be back. The puncture could not be fixed due to its position as expected but I had requested a specific tyre encase it needed replaced which was waiting for me on arrival at the cheapest price around. Full turnaround time of under 30mins. Brilliant service highly recommend!
Brilliant service, quick and efficient. Achieved my expectation and will use again as is now my local garage.
Fast efficient service, already booked my next service. Thankyou
Fantastic garage, final bill was considerably less than originally quoted!
Very fast for the job done. They kept me updated and no hidden costs. Brilliant
The Staff were easy to work and communicate with, very helpful and polite throughout. I will definitely be using their services again.
An awkward job with the car requiring more work than initially expected, but dealt with very well and at a reasonable price by GC Autos.
Excellent service where they went out of their way to provide additional help
Would definitely recommend this garage!My car was serviced thoroughly and while waiting i was recommended a nearby pub and it was absolutely great,i waited for the full service and they were very accommodating.Great service absolutely spot on !glad i found them xx
To be fair these guys where extremely pleasant to deal with and stuck good to there £10 price. I asked for three things in my request for work needed doing. 1. Remove air bag light from incorrect sat nav installation 2. Change clock from 24 hours to standard 12 hour format to be able to update sat nav. 3. Change 1 click of the key button to open all doors instead of just drivers door. They took the airbag light off and apparently couldn't do the other things without a vag computer, I did mention this in the request for work,silly to take on a job you don't have the equipment to deal with! As I say one of the best garages I have been to customer service wise, they just didn't fix the problem
Excellent service would definitely recommend and use again

Guess what today is!? It's the official first day of marathon training! If you want to learn more about the personal reasons why I'm running the Marine Corps Marathon, check out Friday's post. On the schedule for today? Rest day! Talk about an eventful day 1 of training. Bernie was not impressed with my hardcore marathon training plan that starts on day 1 with rest.
But I need some rest today because yesterday I ran the B.A.A. 10k in Boston. This was the B.A.A.'s 3rd annual race and part 2 of their 3-race distance medley. I did the medley last year and it includes running their 5k the day before the marathon, the 10k, and a half in October. I always love participating in B.A.A. events because they run like clockwork. Every race starts on time, is fantastically organized, and is super fun. Last year I ran the race with Stephanie, but this year I ran solo.
This race was the first Boston Athletic Association event to be held in the city since the Boston Marathon on April 15th. Normally, this race doesn't sell out. But with the unwavering support of runners all over the city and the world, the race sold out in record time with about 6,500 entrants. The organizers encouraged everyone to support the city by wearing blue and gold, the colors of the B.A.A. and this year's Boston Marathon colors (every year they choose different colors for the race). You didn't have to tell me twice!
CS by City Sports all sports tank and Boston Strong Sweaty Band. Plus some blue Oiselle roga shorts which I'm kind of obsessed with.
The race starts in Boston Common, runs up Comm. Ave to almost the end of Boston University and then turns around at the 5k mark to head back to the Commons. I love this race for many reasons, but the main ones are #1 – it's a short 20 min. T ride away. #2 – it runs along the same routes I run everyday. While everyone else is dying in the sun and the gradual mile long up-hill on Comm. Ave, I'm cool as a cucumber. This year was also especially meaningful because of everything that happened on April 15th. This city is still recovering. We are all still recovering. But it's moments like race where the human spirit is clearly stronger.
I got to the start a little later than I wanted. I had JUST enough time to pick up my t-shirt, check my bag (that's why there aren't many photos – I checked my cell phone with my bag), head to the rest room one last time, and then meet up with Dave, my editor at We Love Beantown. He's a big time runner too and was running solo so we decided to meet up and run it together. My goal for the race, beat last year's time of 54:30. Since it was insanely hot and humid, I knew that was going to be a challenge. But I've been feeling strong, really strong with my running lately so I thought "why not push it?". Before I knew it we were off!
Miles 1 and 2 are in the shade, which was much welcomed. By the time we got to mile 2, we hit the unshaded stretch on Comm. Ave. At that point I'm going to guess it was at least 80 degrees with really high humidity. Dave and I were keeping a solid 8:30 pace the whole time and I was feeling good. I really got into a groove in mile 2. At the turn-around point I saw a familiar face – Bernie! After a quick high five, it was back down Comm. Ave. Around the halfway mark was when Dave dropped off to walk for a second. The heat was REALLY getting bad at this point. I saw a lot of runners off to the side needing medical help. Pretty crazy for a 10k, you normally see a lot of that at marathons. At mile 4 was the Gatorade table and I learned from the year before (where the weather was pretty much exactly the same) to take a cup. My pace was good, but I started to notice my feet were slipping a bit in my shoes. With the humidity and the heat, I knew a blister was eminent. So I stopped to tighten my shoes. Maybe 20 seconds? Oh well. Then I was off again.
Finally, we hit the shade at mile 5. That last mile was tough. Really tough. It's a long flat run into the finish, and while the shade helped, the heat was getting to me. What pushed me to the end was someone screaming behind me at mile 5 "Finish strong for the marathon!" Done.
Before I knew it, I turned on Charles Street into the finish. I could see the finish line. At that moment, I could only think of two things. #1 – how good it felt to see the finish. #2 – I need to finish this for those who saw their own finish line on April 15th, but never made it. With a huge American flag hanging from a fire truck above me, the people on the side screaming my name (our names were on our bibs), and a "Boston Strong" song playing over the loud speaker, any Bostonian can't help but remember that moment. It was pretty powerful stuff.
Finally I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face and I looked down at my Garmin. I did it! PR baby!
Garmin time: 52:25
Official chip time: 52:44
2 minutes off last year's time! Yes!
After sitting down in the park to stretch, recover, and cool off, I headed home. I wanted to stay, but it was hot and I wanted to get home. There was a ceremony at the race where Boston Marathon men's winner Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia returned his marathon medal to the city of Boston to honor those injured and killed in the bombings. It was such a selfless act, to return his medal that he worked for and earned in order to give back, it's really incredible. I then ran into Becki from Fighting for Wellness who had a great race too! On my way to the T, I walked past the Old South Church and saw that there were prayer ribbons tied to the fence filled with prayers for the city and those affected by the bombings. Small reminders of that day are all over the city. They make you stop and remember. It was a really simple yet beautiful tribute.
Keep calm and marathon.

Little Peanut first visit
-Jennie L. Augustine from Phoenix, AZ
Pet Name: Little Peanut
Little Peanut was treated like a king! Dr. Tina Stanat loved my little guy as if it was her own. Kirsten was whom he received special nursing care from.

The office facility is warm, bright and clean and also offers boarding accommodations for your precious pet. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking animal services for their furry family members.
Very Caring Staff
-Elaine N from Phoenix, AZ
Pet Name: Luna Boo
The staff at this VCA are stellar! I had the sad misfortune of having to have my (2) senior cats put down over the last couple of years. Bringing them to Dr. Loeschen and his staff made the decision easier. They went well out of their way to care for my aging babies right up to the end, we tried everything to keep them comfortable. Alas age catches up, so when the time comes it's nice to know the vet cares about your pet almost as much as you do. Now I have a new kitten that was rescued from our parking lot at work, and she gets the red carpet treatment every time we walk in! I've gotten very well acquainted with the staff going through this emotional roller coaster, and they are always kind and patient both with me and my pets. The care my kids receive is always top notch, carefully explained and options offered if available. Can't say enough good about this crew!

Family Changes
If you have changes in your family structure, you should review all your benefits. When you gain a family member (e.g. marriage, birth, adoption, etc.), you can typically add the new family member to your benefits within 30 days of adding the person to your family. You may also have the chance to enroll in or change your benefits at this time. If you lose a family member (e.g. divorce, death, child meets certain age limits), you must take action to remove the person from your benefits.

Firra, Joan PT, PhD1; Thompson, Mary PT, PhD, GCS2; Smith, Susan S. PT, PhD3
Objective: To determine whether women with predominantly urge urinary incontinence (UI) would show greater gains from adding 12.5-Hz electrical stimulation to a progressive exercise program whereas those with predominantly stress UI would show similar gains from progressive exercise alone.
Study Design: Randomized block design with participants assigned to exercise alone, exercise with electrical stimulation, or control group, blocked on diagnosis (urge UI or stress UI).
Background: Further research needed to address exercise parameters, the role of electrical stimulation, and urinary incontinence type.
Methods and Measures: Sixty-four women, 38 with stress UI and 26 with urge UI, were randomized into groups; 42 completed the study. Outcome measures were quality of life, pelvic muscle strength, leaks, and urination frequency. Exercise group performed 6 pelvic floor and abdominal exercises progressed over 8 weeks. Electrical stimulation was added to the progressive exercises for the exercise with electrical stimulation group. Percent change in pretreatment and posttreatment outcome measures were calculated for each treatment group by diagnosis.
Results: For women with either stress UI or urge UI, controls worsened and treatment groups improved. For women with stress UI, the greatest gains (57.8%–119.8%) were made by the exercise with electrical stimulation group (P < .001). For women with urge UI, the greatest gains (78.7%-155.1%) were made by the exercise-alone group (P < .01).
Conclusions: Our exercise protocol appears to be of sufficient frequency, duration, intensity, and mode to be effective in improving outcomes and may inhibit the detrusor muscle in persons with urge UI. The addition of electrical stimulation appears most useful for muscle reeducation in women with weak pelvic floor muscles.

Hello !
You have two curves, and . You wish to find the greatest number for which the curves intersect only once.
Let us substitute the second curve into the first one (since the values are presumed equal as there is intersection) :
Now let us reformulate the problem : you wish to find the greatest number for which this equation has only one solution for (equivalent to the statement "the curves only intersect once").
Expand this :
Ok, keep going :
Let's try to set this as a quadratic equation to use the discriminant :
Consider everything after the as the constant coefficient (yeah, who said we couldn't put 's in it ?)
You know that if the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to zero, then there is only one real solution. So, let us express the discriminant :
You want it to be equal to zero, so attempt to solve the following for (yes, now we care about because we are looking for the value of that makes the discriminant equal to zero) :
Simplify :
Again :
Cool, a straightforward quadratic equation ! Here we are using an advanced method : we are going to solve for , and this will serve as an intermediate result to determine which values of make the discriminant null. Get the discriminant first, for ease :
So if some makes the two curves intersect, then we have for the where the curves intersect (discard the negative value since a logarithm is always positive)
Now you can apply the same method but solving for instead, and then merge the results together to find a condition on allowing you to find the greatest that satisfies your problem.
PS : I think I got way too complicated here, I don't even know if this actually works, there surely is a simpler way to do this, what have you been doing last with your class ? (or elsewhere)

Looks like it's still possible to purchase for $799 if you still have the page with the $799 intro page open.
Never ever refresh!
they will likely just send a second invoice, like they do for international shipping.
Glad i made it in the first 10 in Australia, hope they arrive soon!!!
Any idea if those who ordered before the estimated shipping date was changed will still get their orders by that date? When I ordered mine the shipping date was listed as the first week of Feb, but now it's been pushed back by over a month :/
Slightly regretful I didn't impulse buy this earlier. Ended up getting a $700 refund from a non-headphone purchase just today, and came back to find the price has gone up. >___< Guess I'll have to wait for one to pop up on sale.
i got it when estimated shipping date was early Jan.
You think you have it bad
yay, just received my shipping info, i'll leave a small review of it in a couple days, i'll be pairing it with the AKGQ701, Ultrasone Sig Pros and HD650
I haven't got squat D: I ordered a few weeks ago as well.
Please tell me how the HD 650 pairing sounds. I had to sell my HD 800 to fund my laptop and was looking to downgrade to the HD 650.
Jack mentioned he is shipping my unit out tomorrow 1/30. Yay!
Just wondering, when did you order your amp?
Woot! Woo invoiced me at the $799 price.
did you order through A2A???
Man - if i can still pay the pre-order price I'll order NOW...

Helen Keller
Helen was born in Tiscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1889. She was a happy healthy baby. But when she was almost 2 years old, Helen became very sick. In time, Helen got well. But her illness left her deaf and blind. Helen felt all alone in a dark and silent world, because Helen could not hear. Helen also could not talk. She had no way to tell other people how she felt or what she thought. Helen Keller became famous by being the first blind person to read regular books. Dr. Bell said there was a special way deaf people could, "talk" by making signs with their fingers.
Helen died on June 1, 1968. Many people all over the world still remember her courageous, helpful life.

Today, my 6 year old daughter saw a man in a wheelchair who's leg had been amputated. She walks up to him and says, "What happened?". He answers kindly that he's a war veteran. She then responds, "Well then you deserve to get your leg blown off. You shouldn't be killing people." FML

How Do I Find A Home With Owner Financing?
Q: Do you have any listings in the Conley, Georgia area with owner financing?
A: Unfortunately, it's been my experience with the MLS and other listing services that they do not usually carry these criteria. So, it is virtually impossible to do the search you require. If owner financing is offered it is usually mentioned in the 'comments' concerning the property.
While I'm sure that you will be able to find 'owner financing' on some homes in Conley, it will take a diligent Realtor to ferret them out for you.

By NEMS Daily Journal
You wouldn't know it by the way some public bodies do business, but it's the official policy of the state of Mississippi – not to mention the law – that public business be discussed in the open.
The preamble to the state Open Meetings Act even describes openness in government deliberations as "essential to the fundamental philosophy of the American constitutional form of representative government and to the maintenance of a democratic society."
The open meetings law provides a limited list of specific exceptions for which public bodies may go into closed session, and the courts through the years have generally interpreted those exceptions narrowly.
On paper, Mississippi's open meetings law is reasonably good as such laws go. The problem has been no effective enforcement mechanism, especially if those challenging a public body didn't have the resources to go to court.
Two years ago the Legislature strengthened enforcement by giving the state Ethics Commission authority to receive and investigate complaints about open meetings violations.
But the penalty for violation was still minimal – a $100 fine – and of little deterrence to violators. On top of that, public officials who violated the law could pay their fine out of the public treasury.
Legislation this year that would have raised the fine to a maximum of $1,000 and forced the individuals involved, not the taxpayers, to pay for violation of the open meetings law, passed the Senate. The rationale was simple: Why, if a public body ignored a law requiring it to conduct the public's business in the open, should the public be stuck with the bill for the violation?
When the legislation got to the House Judiciary A Committee, the public-official-pays-the-fine provision was removed, but an amendment on the House floor reinstated it. That was apparently too much for Rep. Ed Blackmon, D-Canton, the committee chairman, who responded by killing it through a parliamentary maneuver.
So, as happens in the legislative process, one committee chairman thwarted the will of both House and Senate majorities. And in Blackmon's case, he happens to be an attorney for the governing municipal body in his hometown.
The argument against public officials paying their own fines for violating open meetings is essentially that they shouldn't have to pay if they're ignorant of the law. That's hardly an excuse.
Most public officials want to do what is right and abide by the law. Those who willfully conceal their conduct of the taxpayers' business shouldn't be bailed out by the taxpayer. Blackmon's heavy-handed action is a slap in the face to all citizens who have a right to expect their elected officials to follow the law.

Spending Big at MyHouse
Every nightclub in America is bemoaning staid spending habits. Yet the owners of MyHouse, the current pinnacle of Hollywood nightlife, are bragging that patrons—who have recently included Rihanna, Mickey Rourke, Kanye West and Prince—have been racking up more $20,000 tabs than ever. Earlier this year, one big spender bankrolled a mini stimulus plan of his own, tipping $17,000 on a $19,000 bill, and since March, the club has been selling out of $4,000 jeroboams of champagne. This success has prompted Armand de Brignac to send over a six-liter bottle of its bubbly that will go for $17,500—the first one available in California.

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2012
Doha, Qatar - Wednesday, July 4th 2012 [ME NewsWire]
QNB Group, one of the largest and one of the most highly regarded financial institutions in the Middle East and North Africa region, has announced its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2012. The group recorded a net profit of QR4.1 billion, up by 17.1% compared to the same period last year.
Total assets increased by 25.5% since 30 June 2011 to reach QR330.8 billion, the highest ever achieved by the Group. This was the result of a strong growth rate of 55.9% in loans and advances to reach QR234.7 billion. Meanwhile, customer deposits recorded solid growth of 25.3% to QR245.9 billion.
The Bank was able to maintain the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at 1.1%, a level considered to be the lowest amongst banks in the Middle East and North Africa. Provisions were conservatively managed, as the coverage ratio reached 123%.
The efficiency ratio (cost to income ratio) stood at 16.4%, compared to 15.8% in June 2011, one of the best ratios among financial institutions in the Middle East and North Africa.
Total shareholders' equity increased by 13.0% since 30 June 2011 to reach QR44.1 billion. QNB Group maintains a strong capital adequacy ratio higher than the regulatory requirements of Qatar Central Bank and Basel Committee. The Group is keen to maintain a strong capitalisation in order to support future strategic plans.
Based on the Group's strong capitalization and high credit ratings, QNB was named one of the World's 50 Safest Banks and one of the Safest Banks in the Middle East, according to the latest update published by Global Finance in April 2012.
QNB Group launched its debut bond issue under its Euro Medium Term Note Program in the international capital markets which amounted to US$1.0 billion with a 5-year maturity at a coupon rate of 3.375%. This highly successful issue received an overwhelming interest from regional and international investors.
In line with QNB Group's strategy for international expansion, the Bank has increased its stake in Mansour Bank in Iraq to 51%. As a result, QNB Group will effectively manage Mansour Bank and provide support to enhance its ability to offer a comprehensive range of products and services.
QNB Group which operates in 24 countries around the world through its network, subsidiaries and associate companies employs about 7,600 staff operating from 345 branches and offices that are supported by an ATM network that exceeds 670 machines.
Based on the Group's continuous strong performance and the expanding international presence, the bank is currently ranked as the most valuable brand in the MENA region, with a world ranking of 114 from 189 in 2011.

"The bulls bugled all night, making it practically impossible to sleep," said Mark Sullivan, VP of marketing for The Sportsman's Guide, a popular website for discounted hunting gear. "Several herds were moving through the high country and we could barely wait until daylight to move on them," Sullivan said.
Like public-land elk everywhere, calling is usually a last resort, and Sullivan knew that position would be key to success. After a few wet days, the predawn sky was finally clear of rain clouds. By first light, the group had their packs and sleeping bags rolled and packed from the soggy evening's stay in a spike camp at 10,000 feet. The herd moved from the timbered side of the mountain over a narrow ridge and began to move down the southern side, where Sullivan and company were waiting. More than a dozen cows passed their location within easy range, yet where was the bull? Suddenly, not one, but two antlered elk emerged, one stopping 30 yards from John Dumars (shown below), who passed the shot and later revealed that he had a 3×4 bull on the wall at home and wanted a bigger one. While the smaller bull should have been counting its blessings, the big herd 5×5 was not so lucky, and Sullivan ran a shaft through its ribs from 53 yards away.
Many of the products viewed in this series of Teton Tested posts are available from Sportsman's Guide at a substantial discount from MSRP. Anyone can sell outdoor goods, yet is says much about the company that its officials are out in the wilderness testing the products they sell. Congrats to Sully on his great elk.
