ETU Announces Athlete Scholarship Fund
- By Press Release
- Published February 11, 2013
The European Triathlon Union are delighted with the progress of our new Athlete Scholarship Fund which now sees more opportunities than ever to make the start line of a European International triathlon race.
In December, the ETU wrote to all National Federations with our strategic development plan. The main focus on athlete development was to bridge the gap between Junior and U23 athletes and the top end elite performers.
The opportunities, particularly for athletes from developing Federations, to close this gap is considerable and the ETU announced a new structure to allow high performing athletes from developing Federations funding to compete in ETU races, earn ranking points and offer the opportunity for athletes to qualify for higher level races and senior competition.
Following their outstanding performances in 2012, Ivana Kuriackova (SVK), Kaidi Kivioja (EST), Tea Milos (CRO), Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR), Amitai Yonah (ISR) and Shahar Sagir (ISR) – have all received competition grants and places in the ETU Sprint races in Cremona (ITA) and Tartu (EST).
These young athletes will benefit from a competition grant of 2,000€, which allow them to prepare, travel and compete in Cremona and Tartu later this year.
Such is the ETU 's commitment to developing these opportunities for athletes that the programme will be continued through to 2014.
For this year, the ETU will continue to monitor the potential of our younger athletes and we have identified a further six athletes, through their ranking performances, who are eligible for a race grant of £1,000€ for the sprint races in Cremona and Tartu.
Monica Orazem (SLO), Hrista Stoyneva (BUL), Lotte Miller (NOR), Bob Haller (LUX), Henrik Goesch (FIN), Dakhno Aliaksander (BLR) have all been offered this grant, 500€ per race.
All National Federations have been contacted by the ETU and will need to confirm acceptance of the competition grants by 18th February 2013.
There remain further opportunities for athletes of developing Federations to compete in 2013.
Athletes from category 2/3 National Federations can apply for a place in an ITU European Cup of their choice and they will receive a competition grant of 250€ per race to compete in an elite race.
Athletes from category 4/5 Federations can also apply for a spot in any ITU European Cup race of their choice, however, there is no ETU grant.
Application forms have been issued to all National federations and the deadline is Friday, 1st March.
The ETU is excited by these development opportunities and look forward to seeing the developing Nations compete at the highest level.

About This Book
Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss — her life — and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory and racked with guilt for not being able to help save her.
In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all: hope.
Praise for Wintergirls
"Necessary reading for anyone caught in a feedback loop of weight loss as well as any parent unfamiliar with the scripts teens recite so easily to escape from such deadly situations." — Booklist, starred review
"Lia's agonizing battle with food, her family issues, old memories, and self-mutilation episodes are often difficult to read but also make the book impossible to put down." — Children's Literature
"Anderson perfectly captures the isolation and motivations of the anorexic without ever suggesting that depression and eating disorders are simply things to 'get over.'" — Kirkus
"As difficult as reading this novel can be, it is more difficult to put down." — Publishers Weekly

We can advise you on racially biased, motivated or other treatment at the workplace and your discrimination attorney in New York City, New Jersey or Philadelphia can personalize a strategy that is right for your case.
One of the most significant laws protecting workers from New York, New Jersey & Philadelphia discrimination based on race and ethnicity is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. New York City, New Jersey & Philadelphia discrimination laws require employers to treat all workers fairly and equally with respect to compensation and promotions. Derek T. Smith Law Group, PLLC offers a team of highly skilled racial discrimination lawyers in New York, New Jersey & Philadelphia who can evaluate your legal case. Race discrimination law in NYC can cover a wide range of circumstances and can be complex. Let our New York City race / color discrimination lawyers help you navigate these laws and find out what options and rights are available to you.
What is Race Discrimination in New York City New Jersey and Philadelphia?
Race Discrimination is when a person is treated unfairly because of their race. New York City, New Jersey & Philadelphia Law is so much more protective of employees with respect to Race discrimination. For example comments or conduct that may not be considered Race discrimination under the state or Federal law, may be covered by the New York City, New Jersey or Philadelphia law. New York City has some of the best employment laws for people subject to discrimination based on their Race.
Additionally, the Race law even applies to people who are simply associated with someone of a particular race such as an employer who discriminates against an employee because the employee's spouse is of a certain race.
Discrimination can occur even in situation when the harasser is of the same race as the victim.
Any form of comments or conduct that relate to a person's disability may be actionable. That is why it is important to call and discuss the particulars of your case.
Furthermore, it is illegal to retaliate against someone because they have complained about Race Discrimination.
Available remedies may include lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorneys fees.
Laws prohibit New York City discrimination based on race or ethnicity
Title VII prohibits intentional discrimination and racial prejudice as well as neutral job policies that disproportionately exclude minorities or put them at a disadvantage in the workplace. Title VII spells out how employers must treat workers of color compared to their entire workforce including the following rules:
- Employers cannot discriminate against African Americans workers on the basis of medical conditions that predominantly affect them, such as sickle cell anemia, unless it is a business necessity
- Equal opportunity employment cannot be denied to any worker because of marriage to or association with an individual or group of a different race
- It is unlawful to harass or offend workers of color by hurling ethnic slurs or making derogatory racial remarks or other conduct that promotes a hostile, intimidating working environment

text: This is the kind of work I specialize in. Would go in with my D8K's pulling Cat No. 80 Pans. A short hop of 1,000 feet makes this set up very cost effective. If the going got a bit tough would put D7 behind to push while loading. Also need a dozer to spread the material as it is placed by scrapers. I don't understand how you think a "motor grader" is going to do anything on this job. Grader is great for finish work and placing aggregate but nothing else. For finish shaping I would use a small dozer with six way blade.

I'm just honoured she was a member here. Here are a couple of snippets from the stories she posted on the community
From "the definition of dreaming" ( hint of Sirius/James, but mostly Sirius gen)
They fought for an ecumenical existence, he remembers, mind floating falling in that state between dreaming and awake; a life where all could live in harmony, could learn to coexist, to learn from each other share with each other enjoy each other be as one and not hate or fear or fight or die, could just be, live and let live, to remove sense of superiority, to accept and connect and find that elusive peace that was so longed for and never reached, to find that universally shared desire, and see eye to eye (grey to hazel) and join (clasp) hands and feel as one (joined forever). But in this place, where dreams abound, there is one thing Sirius has learned, one thing he will never forget.
From "Only This" Draco/Blaise/Pansy (R)
and they kissPansy moans, fingers sticky with pomegranate and need twining in Blaise's hair and around Blaise's hips and against Blaise's back and arms and chest and face as she pushes off the glossy ground and arches into him, slender unmarked arms twisting round his neck as their stomachs slide together slick and damp and salty with ocean and sweat. Her breasts are cool against his chest, nipples dark and taut against the smooth white perfection of her skin, and he dips his head to taste -- berry-sweet in English cream, he thinks, just like home, but home is long gone, long left behind and all but forgotten, and then she hisses, dragging him closer and grinding upward against his aching cock, and nothing else matters but this.
Her stories on this community can be found here

Second of three stories I'm posting tonight as a tribute to hp_literotica.
Before Touching Skin
She speaks and presses lips with an air of consistency, breathes and refrains from breathing with a gleam of predatory rebellion, sleeps and represses sleep with a lacquered flash of divinity. He is the same.When she arches, her breath hitches so fast that it hurts her, and her eyes claw into her lover's while she shouts her own name hoarsely to the night. He is the same.When she moans, there's a savage edge to it that only they know of, and nails flash into the night in the red before it touches skin. He is the same.When she fights, it has the seeming of savage slicing with a wand, and a lady who knows when strength belies, is never the fool in reckless condescend. He is the same.When she sleeps, her eyes are motionless voyeurs to her veiled fate, legs imprisoners of what she doesn't wish to release. He is the same.When she dies, it is as if jade has been lost in a sea of moss, and her imperium is but a shade of glory to remember, but never feel. He is still the same.

|Save the Chicago Maternity Center
by WATCH (1972) WATCH- Women
Act To Control Healthcare, led a campaign to try to save the Chicago
Maternity Center which offered safe home birth services to Chicago's
impoverished west side.
(Editors Note: WATCH- Women Act To Control Healthcare, was organized by members of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union. WATCH led a campaign to try to save the Chicago Maternity Center which offered safe home birth services to Chicago's impoverished west side. The Center eventually was forced to close despite public protest. Below is the text of an organizing leaflet put out by WATCH.)
We, the Women of W.A.T.C.H. (Women Act To Control Healthcare) want you and your community group to join with us in our struggle to continue the services of the Chicago Maternity Center and to influence the building of Northwestern University 's Women's Hospital.
The Chicago Maternity Center is the only clinic in Chicago that sponsors home delivery. In addition, it provides complete pre- and post natal services and is the only agency providing 24-hour emergency services for the delivery of babies. Unlike other medical institutions, the center serves all people of the city according to an ability to pay.
Some years ago, Northwestern University agreed to provide back-up medical services and staff to the Maternity Center; the Maternity Center, itself, is financially supported by private donations recruited by a voluntary Board of Directors. Northwestern's staff support included a full-time resident and 4th year medical students. Northwestern has reduced this staff support in recent years and this June the full-time resident was withdrawn. This left the center as the entire responsibility of medical director, Dr. Beatrice Tucker. Twenty-four hour emergency call is an inhuman burden which no single doctor should bear, let alone Dr. Tucker who now is in her 70's. She has devoted the last 40 years of her life to the Maternity Center, but feels that she must resign as full-time medical director, January 1, 1973.
At the same time, Northwestern has announced the construction of a new Women's Hospital and Maternity Center adjacent to Wesley and Passavant Memorial Hospitals. Construction began this year and it is scheduled to be completed by 1974. The Board of the current West Side Maternity Center has been incorporated in the Board of the Women's Hospital. HOWEVER, the fate of a similar program on an ability to pay basis, the fate of a home delivery service and the extent of Northwestern's commitment to build community services are all in question at this time. While publicity for the new hospital insists that the Women's Hospital will not phase out the Maternity Center, but will continue home delivery and expand community services, Northwestern's actions toward the Chicago Maternity Center suggest otherwise. No public commitment has been made to finding a new director effective, January 1, 1973.
A hospital on the Gold Coast hardly serves the same neighborhood served by the Chicago Maternity Center at Maxwell and Newberry. 30% of the Center's cases are emergencies—women who have not seen a doctor before delivery for any care or who have just delivered unattended by medical personnel.
WATCH is a women's group of healthcare workers and consumers who are interested in community based services —financially and geographically accessible to women and their families. Northwestern University is a powerful and large institution; its policy will affect and control the quality and nature of women's health care for a large portion of city women. Therefore WATCH is concerned. We find the only presently existing network of maternal infant and child care services in the city, run by the Board of Health, to be spotty, few and not comprehensive in serving many of our communities. Therefore we must demand of both the public and the private sectors responsible and adequate health care for our communities.
We see our concerns and the constituencies of our respective organizations to be the same. Only by gathering together to fight around these demands in a coalition (specific demands enclosed) can we begin to deal with the actions of institutions as Northwestern University in constructive and meaningful ways. We are announcing a meeting to discuss our demands, to organize a group of people who will reflect the large constituency of women who need quality, community ob/gyn services. We need a group of people who are willing to approach Northwestern on this issue.
Tuesday, December 12th at 12 NOON.
We are hoping for a large turnout of patients and supporters to
impress upon them the seriousness of our concerns.

Here's the conclusion I have come to regarding mass casualty shootings. I have studied these types of events since the 80's when I entered into law enforcement; I have since retired but these situations have not. It isn't about the gun, or the ammo; they're just tools to get the mission done. I'm not a doctor or a shrink (although I did run this by one), but I have plenty of experience dealing with "EDP's" (emotionally disturbed persons) as a police officer). I haven't seen this brought up anywhere since last weeks events.
When it comes to "EDP's" carrying out these shootings, here's what I think happens. They plan these incidents out in great detail, timed to the second, and rehearse it mentally many times before the actual event. They are very careful about target selection, choosing a location where they are confident they won't meet any resistance in their action timeframe and will have maximum public impact. They may even go do silent walkthroughs of the selected location to plan timing and research possible resistance. They already know, in their own mind, how it's going go right to the final second when they end it by killing themselves so they don't have to go through the humility of explaining and justifying their actions. It's all about control, their control and only their control.
The day of the event arrives… they begin to execute their plan, knowing nothing can go wrong, and in most cases they are correct, having carefully chosen their target as a gun free zone with maximum impact. BUT… if something begins to unravel, a totally unexpected curve gets thrown in the mix, like an armed civilian with the mental fortitude to step up to the plate, and the plan goes way off script. Then the shooter has to end the show early, in a way of his choosing (it's all about control, remember?). The armed intervention guy might not even have to fire a shot (like Oregon last week), but his/her mere presence is enough to cause the shooter to end the show.
And therein lays the importance of an armed society. If the sheepdogs are free to roam and protect the pack, they will. It will be impossible to really track their effectiveness, as they will do their job quietly, efficiently and effectively. But the mass killers will find opposition, and will be unable to carry out whatever evil they have planned without interference. The liberals can point at gun control all they want, but more laws aren't the fix. Let's hope sanity prevails.

Baseball storage
I snagged 311 baseballs this year, and I've been storing most of them in a duffel bag under my bed.
QUESTION: Where are the rest of the balls from this season?
ANSWER: Over the course of the season, I gave some away to my Watch With Zack clients. I gave others to random kids. I gave a few to friends who'd done huge baseball-related favors. And when the bag got full, I started keeping balls in my dresser…specifically the underwear drawer…because it happened to have more room than the shirt drawers…I swear.
Here's a closer look at the bag.
Earlier this afternoon, I removed 70 balls and put them in my backpack.
Then I went to my favorite hardware store where my friends Tito and Carlos had four 32-gallon barrels waiting for me. (Big thanks to The Man, Mike Okun, for placing a special order for the barrels and giving me a good price.)
I schlepped all four barrels to my parents' building, then took two of them up to my old room in their apartment…
…and brought the other two down to the basement storage lockers. (VERY creepy down there.)
Then I went back upstairs and dumped three different bags of balls into the first barrel:
1) The blue duffel bag that had been sitting on the counter two pics above
2) My backpack (which weighed about 25 pounds)
3) A small canvas bag that had been tucked into the corner by the mirror
The drawers (there's a fifth drawer not pictured here) hold 144 balls each. The other five barrels hold 400 balls each, which means the sixth/newest barrel probably has about 350 balls in it. I still have more than 200 balls to bring over from my apartment. Those will fill the sixth barrel and take me nearly halfway into the seventh, which I'll fill in 2008. With the eighth and ninth barrels in the basement, I now have room for another 1,000 balls, and if I continue my current pace, that'll take me about four more years. Then what? Retirement? More barrels? I have no idea, but it's nice to know that I'm all set for a while.
Before I headed back to my place, I closed all the drawers and snapped the lids back on the barrels and covered them with an old blanket.
That's how the room normally looks. Someday, perhaps when I get a larger apartment, I'd love to make a proper display for all the balls and invite everyone who reads this blog to come over and take a look. But for now, the best I can do is share photos like these.
(Big thanks to my parents for continuing to house my collection.)

Thta's a lot of balls. What's a proper display? Instead of wallpaper, an entire room coated with baseballs? Instead of a flower centerpiece on the dining room table, a bowl of baseballs? Instead of a coffee table, a glass container filled with them?
oh, and cool arkanoid machine.
to all in the last blog post who were asking about the fan packs:
thats where i went to get most of the email addresses
ive rec'd from
indians, athletics, dodgers, mariners, red sox, and many from other sports. my laptop is running out of batteries and my charger is broken ill go into more detail in a little while.
thats a lot of balls.

on the way-colts, raptors, t-wolves, mets, ny giants.
ok that was really time consuming and long but im really bored.
Why do you cover the barrels with a blanket?
WOW! Nice pictures Zack! You collection looks great!
Are you going to the All-Star game next year?
I got 2 baseball questions that reallly puzzle me since I watching baseball. Just wonder if you know the answers.
1) Here is the scenario:
A starting pitcher lasted 4 and 2/3 of inning. His team scores 1 run in the first inning. Score is 1 to nothing when the starter got pulled off. For the rest of 4 and 1/3 of innings, 4 different reliefers come up and finish the game. Final score 1 to nothing. So who get the win?
2)Everyone knows that left hand pitchers have great advantage against lefties. But why doesn't it apply for right hand pitchers? A lot of left hand pitchers can throw curve ball that can move across from lefties' shoulders and drop down to strike zone (zito's curve for ex.) But for right hander, why is that no one doing that?Instead, curveball from right hander are 12-6 curve.
I always enjoy seeing your collection grow Zach. And it would awesome if we could really see it some day too. Thanks for the invite :)
I'd love to hear more about your autograph and baseball card collection too in a future post.
Thanks again for taking us with you on this fun adventure.
best hardware store in the city for sure!
if i'd known where the balls were i woulda stolen at LEAST one
I think I need to buy like 16 gallon barrels, cuz the drawer that is holding my 60 plus balls is full, and I have no room for 32 gallons.
Hey zack Its darron from st.louis WOW thats alot of balls i snagged 12 this year but im only 12 and only went to 31 games went to 6 batting practices all being when the visiting team comes off the feild for a 7:25 game at 6:25 except one only got three at the dugout during bp and got punched in the back for an albert pujols 3rd out ball tied my record of 2 set this year twice kansas city and the pirates and this is the first year i really started looking at this website so and missed a foul ball by 1 centimeter it hit the edge of my glove but i was on tv and this website bye for now
Thanks for noticing. :-)
I like your ideas for making displays. When the time comes (could be months or years), I'll be sure to post a whole blog entry about it and ask for everyone's suggestions. I've thought about the wallpaper idea. Mainly, I'd want to have my few dozen favorite balls in plastic cubes, plus lots of barrels I could dump out and play with. Beyond that? Not sure.
GJK2212-******, that's a LOT of stuff.
I think it looks less ugly that way.
Thanks very much! I'm not sure about next year's All-Star Game. It'll be tempting to go because I live so close and won't have to pay for flights or hotels, but I hate Yankee Stadium so much that I almost don't see the point of dealing with the security nightmare.
1) Usually, in a situation like that, the reliever who completes the fifth inning will end up being the one who gets credit for the win. The decision, though, belongs to the official scorer.
2) Righty-on-righty curves are DEFINITELY challenging for the hitter. (I know because I was never able to hit 'em.) I think it has to do with a couple factors. First of all, there are far fewer lefty pitchers, so lefty hitters are always thrown off when they see one. Secondly, lefty pitchers naturally have more movement on their pitches. And third, lefties are more likely to throw sidearm or three-quarters than righties, so that increases the angle at which a curveball would cut laterally to a lefty hitter, which of course makes it harder to see/hit.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. I enjoy having all you guys stick with this blog long enough to see my collection grow. Autographs and cards, huh? Perhaps I'll get into it this winter if I'm not busy writing another book.
Nah, you wouldn'ta done that.
You know it, baby.
You don't have room for a single 32-gallon barrel? Does Father Puck make you live in a closet? I didn't even know there was such thing as a 16-gallon barrel. That'd be a pretty small barrel.
Next year, you need to try to get at least three balls in one game and break your record. Hang onto to the rest of your "fiinal stats" for now. I'll do a whole entry about mine after the World Series and you can post yours in a monster comment.
I think this should be a very interesting World Series. I'm picking the Rockies in six games. Just a gut feeling. What do you think?
Hey Zack….
That is a lot of balls my friend. You definitely have cool parents to let you store stuff at their place. It's really smokey all over San Diego right now. Fire everywhere. Just like 2003. I'm glad it's not baseball season, because they'd cancel games. Hopefully, they'll get it all put out in a few days.
Zack, what do you do about special balls? HR Derby, Bonds HR, milestone balls, any other notables?
I bought about 6 of the wood and glass steiner cases, UV protected glass too, from ebay. I have 3 of them with balls in them, plan on another from the first year at the new Nats ballpark next year.
Oh, and don't get me started on my tribe… I even just hate them making the post season now. I'm just such a wreck the entire time. Maybe without them in the series, I can just enjoy watching a baseball game and I hope my friend Jamey Carroll gets a lot of PT. He is about the hardest working player in baseball and a **** nice/good guy to talk to.
Almost forgot, check out this link Zack. I think it is right up your alley.
how in the world did you get into tiger stadium?????!!!!!!!
im going to detroit in november to visit my aunt and go to a giants football game. if i could go in there id go nuts!!
how did u manage that???
awesome, really awesome.
I think the Red Sox will win the World Series in NO MORE than five games.
My parents are waaay cool. I'm totally aware of that fact.
Did you take those pics of Tiger Stadium? I just figured it was just something random you stumbled across online. Either way, I really enjoyed them. As for special balls, I keep most of them in the drawers and barrels (out of the air and out of the light).
No No, not my pics, didn't mean to infer credit. I go to a Nats board and someone posted an OT message about Tiger Stadium. Apparently Tiger stadium's days are winding down and the city is nearing a deal to demolish it, in spite of conservationists efforts. Recently, either the city, or private interest group who manages the stadium, allowed journalists/photogs into the stadium for a walk around. The hope was to chronicle the stadium and its state before it is claimed by winter and eventually torn down.
Like I said, not my pics, but a very cool look at something that I consider priceless. I value our heritage, am often awed by the bravery and heroic influence of past generations, and highly value both material and sentimental keepsakes of Americana. Appreciation and understanding of a time when life was a harder but far more simplistic helps me to better grasp where we have been and where we are today. I guess that is why my house is 120+ years old too :)
You might be able to get in still for $20. Check this out
And it looks like demo actually started.
Everything's still on fire. This is not good. They're using Qualcomm Stadium as an evacuation center. I bet they cancel the Chargers home game this coming Sunday just like last year.
Leigh: I hope SD is okay, and my dad says that the Padres are coming to NY this year. Go to their website.
Actually, mother puck(er), if you tick her off; JK, makes me live in a 10 by 12 closet, with a bed, desk, and dresser. No room for 32 gallons. But my dad's apartment has plenty of room.(It's not really a closet, so don't call like the child welfare committee.)
The 9 day layoff killed any hopes for the Rockies. Bo Sox in 4. If there is a game 5, the Rockies, and Broncos will be placing on MNF, so that could be a big dilemma for sports fans.
alex, thats so interesting about tiger stadium.
id probably be too scared to pay off some guy and hope not to get caught.
yea i probably will plan out my season from opening day until may 20. which is my birthday and i get my license.
the braves released the tentative schedule. the mets are playing at turner on may 20-22.
i take my test for driving at 8 am. i hope to be outta dmv by 930ish. get to the airport by 1030. hopefully get to atlanta in time for birthday bp.
lol i love how i plan out may in october. but i hafta or my parents wouldnt allow it, haha.
puckcollector/fatherpuck-got the jersey today, looks great, trevor was so excited.
thanks alot. tell me what you want me to do about shipping.
Puck Collector loves his Mom, as he should. What's amusing to a kid, however, could get me in lots of trouble!!!
The pictures of Tiger Stadium are awesome! That was where I started my annual baseball trips and got perhaps my biggest disappointment for batting practice. The Tigers were playing the Cardinals and Mark McGwire long before the steroid debacle, but McGwire didn't take BP! How I longed to see a ball crushed over the roof, but it wasn't meant to be.
With apologies to anyone from Detroit, that was also the lousiest place I ever visited. Downtown Detroit looked like a bombed out deserted European city during WWII. My friend and I vowed not to return for 20 years–even with the new Stadium.
awesome!!! i wish i had that bedroom.
how do you get the stuff from the teams? do you have to click e-mail at the bottom or the link that says help/contact us. i wasnt sure
even though i love the baseball collection, i think i just about died when i saw all the topps wax boxes and collectibles from my youth haha
oh by the way, this is scott form chicago, we spoke a few times before. chad and myself wound up with 31 balls this year. we're on our way to 4000! haha
goislanders-use that link i provided in the beginning of these comments. it has most of the emails. otherwise just click contact us. ive gotten stuff from about 20 mlb teams, and i started requesting last weekend. every day my mailbox is full. not all baseball, from all sports. email me and i can give you most of the specific email addresses is contacted.
it really is cool tho, get lots of cool stuff. im gonna try to get most of it signed next year.
Am I the only one who noticed the Scrabble rug? ;)
Beautifully said. I think we can all appreciate that.
Are you gonna go check out Q-Comm and reminisce about old snags? Seriously though, that's scary. Any update for us?
Yes, I suppose 10′ x 12′ would be a bit small for barrels. But what about other rooms in the house? I think a barrel would really spruce up the foyer.
I hope you pass the driving test on the first shot. A bunch of kids at my school failed because the instructor was power tripping worse than Shea Stadium's ushers, but somehow I managed to squeek by and get my learner's permit.
Uh oh, hope you're not in trouble. Just so you know, I *do* have the power to delete/edit comments (although I hardly ever do…maybe once a month). I agree about Detroit. The area surrounding Tiger Stadium was depressing, at least when I was there in the late 90s, and it seems that things haven't changed.
The sad thing is that *I* wish I still had that bedroom. It's practically the same size as my current apartment.
What's up?! Good to hear from you. The days of wax packs were a special time. 31 balls? Not bad at all. Too bad you didn't make it to Shea or Citizens Bank this season. I mighta been able to help you get about one-third of that total in one day.
Yay! Thanks for noticing. BTW, you'll be happy to know that I handed a Scrabble beatdown the other night to a friend. He's not rated, but still, he's smart enough to be a climate scientist at Columbia and good enough at Scrabble to have once beaten me. Final score: 498 to like 240, or something. I bingoed with REMITTED for 95 points on a T.W.S. and later plopped down OCEANIc for about 65.
Hello. I work for a under-financed baseball team in Austria and we desperately need good baseballs. I want to buy some of your baseballs. Are you willing to work out an agreement?
Thanks for asking, but I don't sell my baseballs. If you contact the charity called Pitch In For Baseball (http://pitchinforbaseball.org/html/index.html), they might donate some balls for free. I've been raising money for them for years.

Patrick Dane and Brendon Connelly collaborate in the sacred name of Bleeding Cool
Yet another day and yet more and more Kick Ass 2 photos have snuck themselves online.
We'll begin with a leathered up Chloe Moretz sitting upon her purple Ducati. She has indeed… matured for this sequel and it should bring out a whole different side to Hit Girl. To reinforce that, here is a photo of her kissing the apparently rather shocked Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
There have been some really low quality photos flying around of Christoper Mintz-Plasse as M*ther Fucker, but here we bring you the best look you will ever get of the new costume. Yes, ever. Even better than when Bleeding Cool all wear a bit of it each and crash your first born's barmitzvah.
This is clearly far more extravagant than his original Red Mist get-up. It's now complete with dual wielding pistols. Or wieldy duelling pistols. Or something.
Let's raise a toast to Newscom who have been the source of these photos.
And, man, is that a whole lot of leather flying around the Kick-Ass 2 set.

|From yesterday's wet walk to work
Preparing for day 2 of the Northwest Veg Fest here in Portland. This weekend I've had the privilege of working for Earth Balance! If you don't already know, Earth Balance makes the best "buttery" vegan spread, that's organic AND bakes and cooks just like real butter; a staple in the homes of many compassionate cooks. :) This weekend we're sampling the new organic soymilk. EB soymilk is made with certified non-GMO soybeans, and comes in original, unsweetened, chocolate and vanilla.
The Earth Balance unsweetened I can say is BY FAR the best unsweetened soymilk I've ever had. Not watery, gritty or "soybean-y" tasting, but creamy, smooth and delicious.
Yesterday I got to meet so many amazing vendors and exhibitors; I can't wait for what day 2 has in store, and I especially can't wait to share it with you!
Happy Sunday,

DiNapoli: Executive Budget Starts State on Path to Long-Term Budget Balance
Risks Include Unspecified Savings
The state fiscal year 2011-12 Executive Budget begins to address the state's structural deficit by bringing recurring expenses into better alignment with recurring revenues, according to State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli's analysis of the Governor's budget proposal. However, DiNapoli cautioned the proposal relies on more than $4 billion in yet-to-be specified actions.
"Governor Cuomo has started the state on a path to attain long-term budget balance," DiNapoli said. "The Executive Budget proposal makes progress toward finally reversing the state's practice of spending more money than it takes in. And it does this without significant tax increases and without deficit borrowing. For the past four years, I have called for the state to live within its means. This proposal is a solid step in that direction. But the plan includes more than $4 billion in placeholder savings. Without knowing the details of many of the deficit-closing actions, it is difficult to determine if they will produce the projected savings. With uncertainty comes risk."
The Governor's budget proposal closes a $10 billion General Fund deficit in 2011-12 and reduces projected cumulative out-year deficits through 2014-15 from $64.6 billion to $9.2 billion, with recurring savings representing 85 percent of the proposed actions over the next four years. The proposed budget is also less reliant on temporary and non-recurring actions than in previous years. The budget includes $7.7 billion in temporary and non-recurring actions in 2011-12, a 54 percent decline from $16.7 billion in 2010-11. By 2014-15, these sources are projected to decline to $400 million.
DiNapoli's report identified several areas of risk in the proposed budget that could make achieving the level of revenue or savings expected challenging. These risks include:

The first thing Mike Duncan of A.O.K. driving school in Abilene has his students do when they walk into the class room is put their cell phones in a box at the front of the class.
He says the phone is like an addiction for them and many are just used to having a phone all the time.
This is why he puts so much emphasis on the subject while he is teaching.
Duncan says despite all of the information he gives students, distracted driving will become the number one killer of teens behind the wheel.
He also adds its not just teens who are doing texting and driving. He sees just as many adults doing the same thing out on the road.

In my own words
<< < (2/24) > >>
Hi Mini!I too have heard so much about you. I'm so happy to see you join us! :)Welcome!!! 8)You have already inspired me more than you know. Your first post here made me laugh. I especially liked your "real" bacon comment. Ha! I wear mix and match socks too sometimes but it's usually by accident. I'm sure you must be surrounded by beauty where you live. I grew up in cold *shiver* Minnesota but live in Connecticut now and have one dog. He is diabetic too but he doesn't let him slow him down too much.I'm looking forward to reading your posts and hopefully one day we will meet. :)Hugs,Mitch
Wow Min! I CANNOT BELIEVE how grown you are now :DSuch a wonderful young lady you are. I still remember you singing us a little song at the Boston Memorial and you had the voice of an angel ;)Do you still have your little autograph book>? I signed it remember? Hold on to my autograph because some day it will be worth millions of dollars when I am famous :PMissyou!Hugs!-Will
Hi again Mini!I just thought I would share a picture of our dog Oliver with you.He is a "Mini" Schnauzer. What kind of dogs do you have? Names?m..
Hello Mini!I never worked in a zoo; but my boy friend and I used to own a pet store up in Ohio. Some days it was like working in tiny zoo with tarantulas, coatimundis (a kind of South American raccoon), hamsters, parrots, and all sorts of fish. Even after we closed up our pet store, our house was still sort of a like a zoo because we had 1 parrot, 1 cockatiel, 7 (yes SEVEN) cocker spaniels, and 1 cat. Come to think of it even now, when it's been years later and I'm living back at my Mom's house it's still like a zoo because living there is my Mom and me, my 2 dogs, and Mom's 4 dogs!Your mom has done a great job telling us about you and keeping us up to date on what's been going on with you for a long time. I have enjoyed "talking" (well, writing on the internet) with your Mom about what books she, I and my Mom have all read. Come to find out, we have all read a lot of the some books. ;)I look forward to hearing more from you!Michael
Betty - I remember the picture you sent of Poppy in your slipper that you sent me. Good job on your cheating - you gotta be free sometime (just not too free).Mr. Jeff - Congrats on your cheating too, but next time do it up right and go for a LARGE. Thank you for inviting me to the site of the web.Mr. Ted - I don't like fractions, either, so sometimes I use a fraction calculator. The only time I don't use it is when there's no fractions. Then, I only use a regular one.What kinds of dogs do you have and what are their names? Our dogs are named Ava and Henry. They are Chinese Cresteds. They can be overly happy, lazy, and mean when you try to take away Henry's treat and Ava gets angry if you mess up her naps.Mr. Mitch - Oliver is very cute. Our woods very nice. There are lots of places to sit and think, like rocks. We have one rock that is a hotel for bugs. Our dogs' full names are Ava Camille Rose and Henry Melchizadec Valentino Quasimoto VIII.Willy - I bet you will be famous one day, but so will I. So, if you want me to send you my autograph, I will then we'll see whose is worth more faster.Mr. Michael - I would love to see some of your animals sometime. They seem very interesting. I've read all about some of them. Your house does sound like a zoo - all you need are big cats and marine animals and there you go. My friend's mom is a vet and I got to watch her do surgery on a cat. She took like a blue napkin and put it around the cat and told us not to touch it. Then she just cut it open. She was fixing it so it wouldn't have babies. Then she stitched it up. After, she put some things around the cat's paws. When the cat was asleep, her tongue was hanging out with one eye closed and one eye opened. It looked insane! I like to read fairytale books, books about animal facts, interesting books like science and stuff, and Diary of a Whimpy Kid and Dork Diaries.Thank you for writing back and hope you write back again.Mini

I like Nerwin.
Good morning, LB.
Or worse, it works both ways. As we saw with the Obamanation, change can often be a very bad thing.
Don't raise his hopes too high Broomie.
MARG! It's suppose to be another hot and
dry Spring & Summer for your neck of the
woods again. Hope the forecasters are wrong.
re: gweedo
Good point. Things like free trade, while NAFTA, WTO, etc, were on the 103rd congress' watch, the Republicans seem to like them too, despite having destroyed our industrial base and with it, most middle-class jobs.
As of last week, the labor department's numbers were stunning. Some 98 million are out of work. Consider that we have 300+ million people, half of which are working age. That is more than 50% unemployment, which is more than the 22% of the Great Depression.
While it might well have been better— socialism has never worked anywhere it's been done— the Republicans cave easily in just about everything. A little heat and they wilt. Or they are inconsistent, like Rand Paul, a doctor, completely blowing it on the value of human life one week after his fillibuster protesting the ignoring of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.
It's the difference between one party too scared to do the things they know they should do to restore the economy, the rule of law, etc., and a party that has no interest in doing the right thing, having adopted a divide, conquer, and bribe. One cares, but not enough to weather the storms of criticism, and the other is primarily interested in personal power via socialism.
As a situation, it stinks.
It's a desert, it's supposed to be hot and dry, those silly guys!
Just a small correction to your figures, the unemployment rate is 9.8% for California, nationally it is currently(Feb) 7.7% which is down on January's 7.9% which would make it approx 24 million unemployed, which is still bad, but not quite your 98 million, which I'm guessing was a misread of the Cali figures ;)
On a lighter note, yes Nerwin it does get better than this, but only if you take good care of your knees ;)
I would very much appreciate getting in contact with Russell Myers as a fellow cartoonist!

Yes, it gets better, Nerwin! —Both for you and for Auntie Broomie, as you become more self-reliant.
Yes, since the same democrats that were in charge then destroying things are the same ones screwing us over now.
Wrong so very wrong.. You have no clue as to what socialism, is in reality. If anything you are have shown just why the republicans are the true cowards in not working with this sitting president and why the republican party is imploding. It wont accept the reality that the American people wanted what the President has offered as a plan. Instead continues in a fantasy that some hoe it must be right..So right that republican controlled state legislators in the south and north are trying to roll back women rights. Instead of doing the what is best for the country. Working on fixing the infrastructure,
The republican/teas party that is beholdent to the Koch brothers and to Grover Norquist now find themselves unable to do any thing other than implode. Sad to see what once a great party go down this unfortunate path.
Perhaps Go comics recognizes that, when an asshole hears "Go", it {or he or she) follows it's natural course.
I really don't like reading political comments and biases here. Please stop!
Hey, Go Comics, please cut of the nuts who have to spew politics into every comments section. The rest of us would appreciate it, I'm sure.

It's never too early to bake cookies. Bake them, then freeze them. That's the first rule of cookie baking, and it goes double for Cookie Season. And if you plan to bake cookies to give as gifts, don't make them look too perfect. And don't package them too fancy—or you'll be left wondering whether they know that you made them yourself. And anyway you know you want them to know that you made all those cookies with your own two hands. And that you never ever lick your baking fingers. I'm thinking about getting a sign for my kitchen that makes that last fact 100% crystal clear. I've had finger-licking friends cook for me before in the distant past, and it's not something you soon forget.
These chocolate shortbread cookies are a bit fragile after they're baked, like shortbread should be, but the dough is really quite nice. If you worried about cutting out shapes, don't. Either choose to just slice the dough into squares (or on the bias for diamonds), or choose not to worry. Because you have me, and I have some skillz, since this is all I do with my time. If you go with cut-outs, remember that, no matter how careful you are with the dough, shortbread cookies will spread a bit during baking and blur the crisp cut-out lines. All the more reason to decorate them.
Semi-Pro Tip: The easiest way to transfer cookie cut-outs to a baking sheet is to roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick (no thinner if it's relatively fragile dough), press the cookie cutter down and wiggle it back and forth a bit to create some space around the cut-out, and then peel back the dough around the cut-outs (see left-hand picture above). Then, place the cut-outs, still on the same parchment, in the freezer for a few minutes until they're firm. Remove them from the freezer, place one hand underneath the parchment and press up, then invert the cookie onto the palm of your other hand and peel back the parchment. Now place the cut-out on a prepared baking sheet.
I decorated these with royal icing to show them to you. But when I make a batch for Christmas gifting and holiday eating, I will make and freeze the cookies, then decorate them the day before. It's the only way to be sure those pretty little not-too-perfect gift boxes can showcase all that gluten-free cookies can do.

TransDigm Group Inc. (NYSE:TDG) is slated to release its second-quarter fiscal 2012 earnings result on Tuesday, May 8, 2012. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is $1.30, representing annualized growth of 38.71%. (Analyst report here.)
TransDigm's earnings were above the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, with an average positive earnings surprise of 16.39% for the trailing four quarters.
First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Highlights
The company's first-quarter fiscal 2012 earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.15 outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.11 and prior-year loss per share of $1.19. Earnings in the reported quarter were aided by increased sales, solid proprietary products of the company, good productivity and favorable tax adjustments, partially offset by increased interest expense.
Net sales were $352.5 million, up 50.9% year over year. Organically, sales during the quarter rose by approximately 18.4%, driven by increased sales in the commercial aftermarket and OEM markets and a slight improvement in defense sales. Sales during the quarter were also aided by acquisitions of McKechnie Aerospace, Schneller, Harco and Talley Actuation.
Agreement of Estimate Revisions
None of the analysts have increased or decreased their estimates in the last 7 days. Moreover, there was no decrease in the last 30 days. However, for second-quarter 2012, third-quarter 2012 and full-year 2012, one analyst each has increased their estimates in the last 30 days.
Magnitude of Estimate Revisions
In the last 7 days, there was no change in earnings estimate for the second-quarter 2012, third-quarter 2012, full-year fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2013. However, in the last 30 days, earnings estimates for the third quarter were increased from $1.47 to $1.48 and for fiscal 2012 increased from $5.51 to $5.54.
Our Take
The company is deriving significant benefits from its Harco acquisition, the main reason behind why it had increased its guidance for 2012. TransDigm expects total revenue for fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $1,470 million to $1,510 million, and earnings per share is expected in the range of $5.15 to $5.49.
However, an uncertain aerospace market and worldwide economic environment remain a matter of concern.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, TransDigm Group Inc. designs, produces and supplies engineered aircraft components for use on commercial and military aircraft. The company operates principally in the U.S. Major competitors of the company are Goodrich Corp. (NYSE:GR) (analyst report here), Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE:HON) (analyst report here) and United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
We continue to maintain an Outperform rating on TransDigm for the long-term. The company has a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy recommendation) over the next one-to-three months.

The symmetrical significance of this year's remembrance is noted as the U.S. troops are coming home from Iraq for the holidays and the American presence is winding down in the war in Afghanistan – for many, sort of a bookend to 9-11.
Whether or not our military commanders, troops and parents approve of these decisions by President Obama and his advisers, we can all agree that it's awesome that our servicemen and women soon will be returning home and out of harm's way.
Many of us have shed tears when seeing or reading news accounts about families reunited with their dad or mom who had been serving for a year or longer in Iraq or Afghanistan, either in surprise ceremonies at the airport, at school or even at football games.
And speaking of emotions, we don't know how many of our veterans and families traveled over to Refugio to view the Vietnam Healing Wall when it appeared there Nov. 3-5.
As most of our World War I and II vets are gone now, it's only appropriate that we should extend a belated word of thanks and welcome home to those who served in Vietnam.
For many, like Ride Captain Jerry Fortenberry, it's taken almost a half century for the wounds to heal. At age 19, he enlisted in the Army to serve his country after graduating from Refugio High School.
"It took me 40 years to finally be a little more proud of what I've done," he said in a Refugio County Press story. "Sometimes I think I still have a long way to go."
Bee County citizens, from schoolchildren to adults, will have several opportunities to express their appreciation to our veterans.
Ceremonies are scheduled Friday at FMC Elementary School, Skidmore-Tynan ISD and the major program at Veterans Memorial Stadium on the A.C. Jones High School campus.
If you are able, take a few minutes and attend one of these events. It will make you proud to be an American and eternally grateful for their service and sacrifice. – Chip Latcham

One of my happiest childhood memories you ask???
Building a HUGE fort in the middle of our Family Room
out of sheets.
It was the best place for Barbie tea parties.
Oh, and the far corner in the back...
PERFECT place for a nursery for my cabbage patch dolls.
Awww...what I would give to be a kid again.
Why all the reminiscing??
Well, I stumbled upon something totally fabulous on Salt-water Kids.
Ever since my "stumble"...
I've been able to spread the love.
Some of my most favorite little peeps can make their own fort memories now too.
It's a..
Like I said, I was inspired (here).
What goes in it:
Small suction cups
These are used to stick to windows or whatever they will stick to.
I found these at Target for about $3.
Clothes Line
This is used to hang the sheet from.
Or get creative :)
Dollar Tree $1
1 pkg of clothes pins
Used to pin the sheets to the line or your brothers nose :)
Found these at Target...$2 ish
Cute matching flashlight
the possibilities are endless.
Make it fun.
You could add glow sticks, stars,
lantern, you get where I'm going with this :)
They sell a large bag of these all different sizes, Walmart :)
These would REALLY hurt your brother's nose.
Flat Sheets
2 or more
save the little bag the sheets come in.
Then you can use it to put all the fun little parts to you kit in it.
Here's how to put it together:
Step 1: Make your ties
Cut one of your hubby's old lonely shirts into strip.
Pull each end of the strips tight so they end up curling into a nice clean rope. Add a knot to each end.
Do this 14 times.
Step 2: Sew strip onto the sheets:
Fold each string in half and sew them on with a super crazy stitch back and forth until you know they are on there good.
It ends up looking like this.
Sew it right through the middle of the string so there is a loop on top and then some of the string hanging down.
This way the clothes line can be pulled through the loops to hang the sheet when building the fort.
Add a loop to all four corners of the sheets and half way down each side and one right in the middle of the sheet.
For a visual, check out the Salt-Water Kids tut.
Step 3: The bag it goes in
You can sew your own bag or buy one.
The bag can be sewn from another sheet, OR I just used the rest of the "lonely" shirt and a pair of old jeans to whip up a bag.
To top it all off,
add a cute little tag.
You're all done.
Isn't that the coolest thing EVER?!?!
The best part was seeing them in action!
Here are a few pictures my friend sent to my phone.
One fort kit..
This is what you can do with TWO fort kits!
Aren't they the cutest?!?!
It's so much fun to see these little peeps building forts and LOTS of memories!!
Happy building :)

Grimes, McConnell on Health Care
Kentucky Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for US Senate Alison Lundergan Grimes says there are problems with the Affordable Care Act that need to be fixed. However, she told reporters at the State Fair Thursday scrapping the national health care law is not the answer…
"I don't think we throw the whole baby out with the bath water...I think we actually have to work to fix it. Instead of forty times working to kick youngsters off of their parent's insurance, or to deny people coverage for preexisting conditions, or to deny people long-term coverage, or to raise prescription drug prices as Senator McConnell has done." - Alison Lundergan Grimes
Lundergan Grimes says regulatory burdens in the law should be streamlined to incentivize businesses to provide health care coverage for their employees.
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell claims there's growing bi-partisan opposition to the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obama Care". McConnell also spoke with members of the press at the Kentucky State Fair…
"The House has passed bills to delay the employer mandate, believing the President didn't have the authority to do it on his own. 35 Democrats voted for that. They also passed a bill to delay the individual mandate...22 Democrats voted for that. The head of the AFLCIO in Nevada said the bill was a disaster." - Mitch McConnell
McConnell says one of the Democrats who championed the bill in the Senate now calls it a "train wreck".

April 1998
Euclid's Nightmare
Depth of Field
Leave it to skronk & squawk alto sax king John Zorn and the versatile drumming man Bobby Previte, who would be as comfortable with Sonny Clarke as with Cecil Taylor, or with Jim Hall as with John Paul Bourelly, to come up with a freely-improvised duet recording encompassing no fewer than 27 tracks clocking in at an LP length 43:25. That they did, and other than the obvious indulgence in each other's edgy company, what's the point? It shows that there's a record company and a showcase for just about anybody and anything. From a drum and sax duo standpoint, the saxophonist's gotta be a whole lot more compelling than Zorn, who wears thin after about four tracks, let alone an egregious 27. Drum students might find solace in Previte's machinations, which are always considerable. Better sustenance can be found in the drummer's impressive body of ensemble recordings.

Wow, it has been a long time since I last blogged. I apologize. Hope everyone is doing well. These past couple weeks have been busy with school work as well as basketball workouts. I've had several tests and papers these past two weeks and on top of workouts I have had very little down time. Either I am writing a paper or sore from lifting it seems like the school year is closing fast. All is going well except for the weather. The weather has been awful this "spring." It has not been sunny at all and has snowed multiple times. I looked at the weather forecast for this week and it will reach the 50's twice. That's a hard thing to handle knowing that it is mid-APRIL!
Although the weather has been bad the end of the school year is always fun. School is closing out and everyone is getting excited for summer. I have no idea where this year has gone. I feel like just yesterday it was January. This weekend should be fun as our team has its annual banquet so I get to see my family. Saturday night I will be headed to see Garret and Austin, two friends of mine, play at a bar in Kiel. Most of the team and I are going so it will be a blast. Hopefully track, softball and baseball can get a home game in before the end of the year but it isn't looking promising. Hopefully next time I write that I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Keep it real until next time everybody.

Or something like that (I cannot think exactly what it is now).
How about and .1.) if (an) and (bn) are divergent, then also (an + bn) and (an - bn) are divergent. I believe this is false.
Since this converges it must mean that coverges.2.) (an)^2 converges if and only if (abs(an)) converges. true?
Look at first post.3.) if (an) and (bn) are convergent, then also max(an, bn) is convergent. true?
No consider the sequence of partial harmonic sums.4.) if (an+1 - an) converges to zero, then (an) converges. *the n+1 is all a subscript*
Yes. And furthermore it converges to zero. This is the ratio test.5.) if an > 0 and ((an+1)/(an)) < 1 for all n, then (an) converges. *again the n+1 is all a subscript*
I just want to know if they're true or false.
