2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C55 AMG C55 AMG 4dr Sedan (5.4L 8cyl 5A)
This car is fast! Let me rephrase that, it's VERY fast. The car should be driven for fun, not for comfort or fuel economy. The ride is very stiff, but that's what you want in a sports car. Don't bother looking at the mpg's (11-14 city, 18-22 hway). Interior build quality seems below my old 1997 C230 which is a bit disappointing for a sedan that msrp's for 60K. There is a lot of plastic on the dash, and most controls feel cheap to the touch. But who cares? This car is FAAAAAST!
Brutal acceleration! Unique front end that looks like the CLK. Sleeper look. The instrument cluster is pretty nice, and interesting since it doesn't follow the traditional Mercedes center speedometer look.
Operating a moon lander is probably a simpler task than to figure out how to enter an adress in the NAV system. The AMG seats, although look very cool, are not very comfortable, especially on long trips. Interior materials and build quality are worse than the C- Class 10 years ago.
I originally bought this vehicle because my wife would not let me buy a E39 M5 due to the manual transmission, so I had resigned myself to a life of commuting boredom without my beloved 3rd pedal. "At least I'll have the big V8 to listen to while I wait for the transmission to catch up to my right foot" I thought. Well, I was wrong. The AMG SpeedShift is extremely impressive in daily use; it is very rarely in the wrong gear and is tuned for an enthusiast driver. Sport mode is very entertaining and Comfort isn't a blatant sacrifice to the EPA mileage gods. This, coupled with the prodigious amounts of torque and deep exhaust note, make for an entertaining drive even in traffic.
I never thought I would say it, but I really like the auto trans. I also like the engine, exhaust note, precise steering, high quality interior materials, and firm but comfortable suspension. The understated looks help you blend into traffic, at least until you floor it and can't hide the V8.
Don't bother with the nav system; it is very outdated and hard to use by today's standards. The sound system is average at best, unfortunately. Just turn it off and listen to the engine instead.
Bought my C55AMG from a friend and I am very happy that I did. Incredibly fun to drive, has a sports car feel with a European sedan look. It is a real sleeper except to those who know AMG, and I am surprised how many people know AMG. Ride is a bit stiff but the handling makes up for it. I'm getting 22+mpg on the road and 19mpg around town if I'm not on the gas.
The sedan look with all the power under the hood and the low rumble the exhaust makes.
I got what I wanted. I am 6' tall so it would have been nice to have a handle to grab to get in and out of the car. Once in place it's great though.
The combination of the engine power relative to the body size & weight makes it just perfect! I have always disliked Mercedes shapes especially interior, but the C55 made me become a fan of Benz. I enjoy most the low profile exterior of the C55 that only specialists know what's going on inside that car. in sum, I like the mixture of luxury & sportiness of the C55 AMG. Last car was Audi A8 4.2 quattro, and the stability of the C55 when ESP is off gives you real adrenaline rush on turns because it is really designed in a responsive way and is willing to coop by the second with the driver's style. With all due modesty, you have to know how to drive the C55 to take out the cars frustration !
All of it
Wish it came with more horsepower--- 500hps applied to that car, and I would be driving it for the rest of my life...
What can I say?This car is a dream come true. The power is right there when needed, and the ride is firm but still forgiving. I have always owned trucks, and this car is smooth all around. I still drive my truck for work, and I cant wait to jump in the C55. Everytime I drive it I have a silly grin from ear to ear. I love the fact the car is not flashy, but the quad exuast does give it away.
The car is a sleeper until you use the power of the hand built AMG motor. The exhuast tone is wonderful. Good stock radio and nice leather interior. The AMG logo in the front seats.
Touch sreen nav system. Ablity to play DVDs.

Landlords, tenants
A good number of people in the Williamsport Area can't afford to buy homes and they need to rely on renting houses or apartments for themselves and family.
It is unfortunate that they have to depend on landlords. Some landlords are good with repairs and codes issues but some don't take care of these issues. It is no secret that heroin and drug problems are at an all time high in the Williamsport and surrounding areas. It is not the mayor or codes fault but it is the Landlords.
We have entered into 2014 and with that date the New Ordinance for Proprieties that City Officials have put into effect are now working. This new Ordinance will make landlords accountable for their proprieties. It is unfortunate that some landlords are not living up to codes issues.
Landlords know the codes issues and why were they not taken care of and been inspected by codes. As landlords it is their responsibilities to make sure these codes issues are addressed before renting a property.
When houses are closed it is difficult and not fare to tenants who now have to move and have no place to go to. When a property is inspected and have passed the inspection the Codes Department issues an Inspection Certificate and before renting a property it is the persons renting the property right to ask to see the Inspection Certificate.

Benefits of Plant Stem Cells:
Source of Health and Youth
Stem cells have been a topic of increased research and advancement in the past decade—along with passionate debate from those who tout their health-promoting potential and those who warn of the slippery ethical slope they represent. However, recently scientists have found a way to gain some of the health benefits of stem cells without the moral ambiguity: by harvesting them from plants and fruit instead of human tissue. These plant stem cells show remarkable promise, and they're already proving themselves to be powerful skin healers.
While most cells in an organism have a specific purpose (i.e., a brain cell is specialized for the brain, a skin cell is specialized for the skin), stem cells are full of potential. They have the ability to develop into various types of cells, and they also can repair and replace damaged cells by dividing almost limitlessly. When they divide, the new cells can either be stem cells or they can become specialized cells in a process called differentiation. These new, specialized cells are usually the same types of cells as those near which they reside (in other words, a stem cell in the skin would generate new skin cells).
The reason scientists are so excited about the use of stem cells is that so many diseases and disorders involve cell damage and death. Having access to cells that can proliferate seemingly endlessly—and transform into the types of cells the body needs—offers amazing potential for treating disease.
One exciting area of research for stem cells is in treating skin problems, such as wrinkles, visible capillaries, and sun damage. Like all areas of the body, the skin contains stem cells. In the basal layer of the epidermis (the deepest layer of the outer surface of the skin), stem cells divide and replace lost or dying cells. They also repair the skin when it suffers injury. The epidermis is in a constant state of renewal—sloughing cells every single day—so it requires non-stop cell replacement. Therefore it's essential that we optimize epidermal stem cell population throughout our lives, even as we age.
As our skin faces its daily assaults— environmental toxins, excess sun exposure, improper nutrition—we run the risk of overwhelming the epidermal stem cells. When this happens, stem cells might not be able to keep up with the demand of cellular turnover, resulting in an excess of damaged cells and, eventually, aged and damaged skin.
Recently, researchers have begun looking to plants as a source for stem cells, and those plant stem cells have proven to be effective in supporting the skin's cellular turnover. Like human stem cells, plant stem cells develop according to their environment. The inspiration for using plant stem cells in skin care came from an unusual source: an almost-extinct apple tree in Switzerland.
Originally bred in the 18th century for their incredible shelf life, Uttwiler Spätlauber apples shrank into obscurity as modern shipping and storage caused longevity to take a backseat to flavor. Even more astonishing than the fruit's long-lasting freshness was its ability to heal itself: When an apple was scratched while still on the tree, the skin would quickly regenerate and close the wound.
Harnessing the Power of Plant Stem Cells
MyChelle is continually pioneering new frontiers in skin care. Emerging as the first in the natural market to introduce plant stem cell innovation shows our dedication and passion for bioactive and effective skin care. Two advanced formulas from MyChelle Dermaceuticals contain incredible plant stem cell bioactive ingredients.
Apple Brightening Serum is a powerful serum with PhytoCellTec™ Apple Fruit Stem Cells, Melanosatine®5, Algowhite® and Applephenon™, to effectively diminish hyperpigmentation caused by excessive sun exposure and age. PhytoCellTec™ has been shown to stimulate and protect human stem cells while reducing the depth of wrinkles through the promotion of skin regeneration. This plant stem cell is a key ingredient that can delay the biological aging mechanism.

Fabulous Eye Cream is an advanced eye cream formula now with Edelweiss Plant Stem Cells, which help reduce the visible signs of aging. The Edelweiss Plant Stem Cells provide outstanding antioxidant activity and inhibit collagenase, thus limiting collagen degradation and loss of skin firmness. Also high in phytosterols, amino acids, and polysaccharides, Fabulous Eye Cream is moisturizing and nutrient-rich, which helps rejuvenate and hydrate delicate eye tissue. Research shows that when applied twice daily for 20 days, Fabulous Eye Cream can reduce wrinkle depth by 15%.

Luckily, the Uttwiler Spätlauber, and the stem cells that gave it its staying power, caught the attention of researchers just in the nick of time—only a few trees remained in the world when scientists began to research its health benefits. Researchers found a way to extract stem cells from the fruit and generate new ones in a lab, and they then started to investigate how human cells would react to them. The results were astonishing: They found the apple's stem cells could stimulate human stem cell proliferation by 80% and could protect human stem cells against UV damage. In experiments on human skin, researchers discovered that a cream containing the apple extract and liposomes from lecithin could decrease wrinkle depth by an average of 8% in just two weeks and by 15% in four weeks.
Since the discovery of the Uttwiler Spätlauber's remarkable skin benefits, leaders in the natural skin care industry have been looking for other sources of plant stem cells. After much research, two more plants have proven to have exciting and unique stem cell potential.

Iowa gun business, owner, punished by feds
An eastern Iowa gun business and its owner have been punished for illegally structuring business transactions in order to avoid federal financial reporting requirements.
Federal prosecutors say Michael Gabriel LLC, of Williamsburg, on Wednesday was given a year of probation, fined $20,000, and ordered to forfeit nearly $375,000.
Michael Gabriel, acting on behalf of Michael Gabriel LLC, admitted in a plea agreement that company personnel structured the transactions so no bank deposits over $10,000 were made between January 2007 and September 2010. Deposits in excess of $10,000 must be reported to federal authorities.

5 B.S. News Stories That Fooled Your Friends (Part 23)
CrossFit has always been seen as a somehow less "manly" alternative to traditional workout routines, as evidenced by the predictable autocomplete result when you type "CrossFit is ..." on Google. Rather than avoiding the stereotype, a gym in Denmark decided to go all-out and embrace it by hosting all-nude, all-dude CrossFit classes:
You need to give us a minute, as the amount of ball jokes in our brain has us overwhelmed.
Holy smoked ham, that room must have a funk in the air! According to Cosmopolitan, Metro, and Huff Post, the special workout was inspired by the olden days, when Spartans did jumping squats to the sounds of rhythmic flapping, and bench presses involved seeing an anus up close.
Good thing they're wearing shoes. No one wants to step in a puddle of taint sweat.
The pictures of men spotting each other's asses were so overtly daffy that it's a wonder this isn't just some late April Fools' joke being played on the world. What's that? That's exactly what this is? Huh.
It all started on April 1 when a gym called Spartan Mentality posted a joke about nude classes on their site. The story remained a hilarious prank for almost two months, until a blog called the Gaily Grind picked up and ran with those balls, consequently re-April Foolsing everyone into thinking a bare-assed gym photograph from a random blog was a suitable starting point for a news article.
The hoax was so successful that the gym actually did host naked classes for a while, but then stopped because it was getting "a little too comical." Yeah, we're guessing the nudists/CrossFit fanatics Venn diagram doesn't exactly include the most impressive human specimens ever.
#1. An Iranian Actress Isn't Going to Get Publicly Flogged for a Kiss
Straight from the desk of "things that sound like something Iran would do, but we're not sure because we don't know anything about Iran," the Telegraph, Daily Mail, and Daily Beast, among others, have reported that the Iranian actress from A Separation has been condemned to a flogging for kissing the Cannes festival president on the cheek, something that's apparently a big no-no over there. And it's not just a regular flogging: It's gonna be a public one, too.
"Kids get in free!"
Note that the headlines say she "faces flogging" and is "to be flogged," as opposed to "definitely won't be flogged just because someone said she should be" ... which is what's actually happening here. The call for flogging came from a small group of conservative students protesting the kiss -- to put it in perspective, this is like running an article titled "CANADA TO EXECUTE MEMBERS OF NICKELBACK" because someone saw the comments they get on YouTube.
It's true that Iranian political figures condemned the kiss, but that's mostly for show: They know women kiss men on the cheek every day, and they don't give a shit. When the kiss is on TV, though, they have to say something or risk losing the crazy-pants sector of their constituents.
Kissing Willem Dafoe, on the other hand, really is a punishable offense in most of the world.
Hell, we doubt the students themselves have any real hope of this happening. In other words, this was an empty threat by a gaggle of nut jobs that no one would possibly take seriously.
Um, except for all of the media, of course.

Objective: We investigated whether patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have poorer memory and executive functions than healthy controls.
Background: The relatively inconsistent previous findings on this question reflect a lack of well-matched control groups, the inclusion of patients with comorbidity, and the use of noncomparable neuropsychological tests to assess memory and executive functions.
Methods: We used well-accepted neuropsychological tests of memory and executive functions to assess 42 patients who had obsessive-compulsive disorder without comorbidity, and 42 healthy controls. We matched the patients and controls pairwise by sex, age, and years of education.
Results: The patients performed significantly worse than the controls on the Rey Complex Figure Test, which assesses visuospatial memory and organizational skills. This group difference remained after we controlled for age, education, intelligence, and severity of depressive symptoms.
Conclusions: The findings indicate that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder may have impaired visuospatial memory and organizational skills, and these impairments should be considered in treatment.

In every way, the 'Our Father' is the most sublime prayer we have. Jesus taught it to his disciples on their request. Though its structure is akin to similar prayers recited in the synagogues of the time, its content is uniquely its own.
The text we read in today's Gospel is Matthew's, which differs slightly from that of Luke. We'll comment briefly on the words of the prayer, keeping in mind that the prayer has overtones of the Endtime, that is, when God's reign comes to final fulfillment.
Father. A daring way to address God, unique to the Christian faith. We call God 'Father', because his 'Son' Jesus, someone of the same nature as God, encouraged us to do so. To be God's children then, requires us to be obedient to our Father, as Jesus was.
Holy be your name. God manifests his holiness in Jesus, and never more fully than during Jesus's passion and death, which is also the moment when God sends us his Spirit. The term 'name' is a Hebrew way of saying 'the whole person'.
Your Kingdom come. Better, may your Reign of goodness, truth and love be established among us. The early Church paraphrased this: "May your Holy Spirit come upon us and cleanse us."
Our Daily Bread. Our petition is for God's care in the daily handling of all our needs.
But 'bread' in the Gospels also has Eucharistic connotations. God sustains both our bodies and our souls.
Forgive us our sins. This petition implies a corresponding action on ours, "as we forgive…" Mercy is the key characteristic of God's dealings with us, as it should be our way of relating to one another.
Put us not to the test. We pray that we may not be tested beyond our strength, and specially not fall prey to the wiles of the evil one. The conventional idea of temptation is that of inducement to wrongdoing, specially related to money or sex. But this is an incomplete understanding. In the Bible everyone must be 'tested', 'tempted' — as "gold in the fire" — to be toughened, and made better.

The Father of Shito Ryu
"Those who master Karate understand the importance of cooperating
with the infinite rather than continuing to resist the inevitable."
Kenwa Mabuni (1889 - 1952) was born in Shuri, Okinawa and was
a weak, frail child. Considered by many to be the "guru" of Karate,
he originated the Shito Ryu style, which combines the influences
of Shorei Ryu and Shorin Ryu.
When Kenwa Mabuni moved to Osaka, his style was called Hanko Ryu (half-soft
style), before he officially founded Shito Ryu (Funakoshi = Shotokan; Mabuni
= Shito; Miyagi = Goju; Ohtsuka = Wado) when the 4 main styles of karate were
introduced to the Dai Nippon Butokukai. The word Shito was Mabuni's way of
honoring his two greatest teachers: Higashioona [shi], who taught Naha-te style,
and Itosu [to], who taught Shuri-te style.
Mabuni first trained with Itosu, from age 13 to 27, with whom he became proficient
with such weapons as the bo and sai. At 20, Mabuni began to train with Higashioona
of Naha, a shorei-ryu master who brought from China most of the Naha-Te kata
(kururunfa, seiun chin, so chin.) popularized by Goju Ryu. Kiyoda Juhatsu,
a student of Miyayi's, was one of 3 men in history to train with two leading
masters of the art at their time. The other to men to train with these masters
were Toyama (1888-1966) and Gusukuma Shimpan (1890-1954).
Mabuni also trained under Arakaki. In 1913, at the age of 23, he joined civil
law enforcement and became a detective. Then he met Arakaki Seisho, who did
a lot of traveling as an interpreter for the Government, and his student Tuuji
Pechin (1840-1920), who taught Higaonna. During his travels Arakaki learned
Niseishi and Unsu from the Fuzhou Province and brought them over with him.
Pechin first taught Higaonna before he moved to Kojo. (Kojo family - Matsuhiga).
Kenwa Mabuni also studied with Suishi and Tawada.
In 1927, Mabuni demonstrates karate for Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. The
ranks in karate came from kendo and the belts ranking system and gi (uniform)
came from Jigoro Kano.
At 37 years of age, Mabuni opens his first dojo. He founded it with Choyun
Miyagi, and called it the Chinese Martial Arts Research Society of Okinawa.
His home was considered a mecca for karate. Choyun Miyagi was the founder of
Goju Ryu.
Kenwa Mabuni's synthesis of the teachings of many of the greatest martial artists
of his time resulted in an extraordinarily extensive system of 54 kata. His
system was passed to Kuniba Sr., who taught Kuniba Jr., who taught Chuzo Kotaka,
who taught Sensei Castilonia, the founder of our Aoinagi School.
Fumio Demura-Sakagami Ha, Minobu Miki-Hayashi Ha and Mabuni's two sons Kanei
and Kenzo among others, carry other branches of Shito Ryu forward. These compose
the branches of Shito-Ryu today. Mabuni studied and analyzed many, many kata
and he wrote many books on kata (in Japanese).
Mabuni's Five principles of strategy
1. Rakka (Dropping Flower): power is generated by sudden impact
2. Ryu Shui (Running water): blending (be like water)
3. Kusshin: vertical maneuvering (up and down)
4. Teni (change): by initiating, manipulating mai (critical distance), or tai
sabaki (body shifting) [ten = change; teni = changing]
5. Han Geki: countering
Kenwa Mabuni is quoted as saying, "Those who master Karate understand the importance
of cooperating with the infinite rather than continuing to resist the inevitable."

'Ball the jack,' PDQKnight Ridder Service | October 31,2004Q: Could you please tell me what it means to "ball the jack"? I've heard it used in a couple of songs. Does it have anything to do with truck driving? Where did the phrase originate? D.F., Lakeview, Ore.
A: We are certain that many a trucker does "ball the jack" down the highway, for the phrase means simply "to go fast." Although one source claims it derives from an identical logging expression, its probable origin is from railroad terminology, in which it means "to gain speed."
"Ball" is probably a shortened version of "highball," which is the railroad term for a signal to the engineer that he may proceed at full speed, and is also used for a fast train. The term "highball" developed from an early railroad practice in which the go-ahead signal given to an engineer was the raising of a metal ball to the top of a pole. The verb "highball," meaning "to go at full speed," also developed from this practice.
"Jack" is railroad slang for "locomotive." The origin of this term is uncertain, but it may be related to other kinds of machinery that are called "jacks" or that have names in which another word is combined with "jack," such as "jackshaft." To a railroader, then, "ball the jack" means "to bring a locomotive to full speed."
The expression also caught on outside of railroading circles and is used generically to mean "to move fast" or "to hurry." It is certainly used in connection with truckers, but it can also describe a person moving at high speed.
Q: It's generally believed that the word "Nazi" is an acronym for "National Socialist." But I remember reading many years ago the obituary of a Bavarian wit and writer apparently a kind of Art Buchwald of his time who was said to have dubbed the fledgling National Socialist Party "Nazis" when the party first appeared in the 1920s, "Nazi" being a Bavarian slang word meaning "jerk" or "buffoon." The party itself used the acronym "Naso," so "Nazi" was apparently some kind of Bavarian pun. Can you confirm this story? O.V., Trenton, N.J.
A: The writer whose obituary you read was undoubtedly Konrad Heiden, a German-born biographer of Hitler, author of "Der Fuehrer: Hitler's Rise to Power" (1944) and other books.
Heiden may not have been the Art Buchwald of his time, but he was a serious and widely read opponent of Nazism for many years. We are aware of his claim to have coined "Nazi" in the 1920s, but we have seen no evidence.
The earliest recorded example of "Nazi" is from 1930. The acronymic explanation of its origin, which traces it to the "Na" and "zi" of the German word "Nationalsozialist," is now recognized as incorrect. The true origin of "Nazi" appears to be as a shortening and respelling of the longer word, based on the German pronunciation of "Nati-," in which the "t" is pronounced like "ts."
Our files contain a letter dated 1932 from the German Embassy in Washington confirming this derivation.

How to Fix Crashing at Boat Scene in Black Ops 2
While there have been many posts and suggestions such as "get the latest Nvidia drivers" (only Nvidia card users seem to be affected by the crash), or "try and turn down your graphics a ton just to get past". None of those options worked for me or many others. However, the one thing that did seem to fix it indefintely I found within a post on Treyarch's site itself. Someone suggested that using MSI Afterburner, a graphics card mod that allows you to OC your card and make some other changes, to turn down your core clock speed by 100mhz. I was skeptical to say the least as that is very specific and completely random that it would work but I figured I would give it a shot. Well what do you know, turning down the core clock speed did in fact work and according to the Treyarch Post it seems to be working for others too. Below you can find instructions and download links on how to conduct this fix.
- First download MSI Afterburner
- On the main tool screen go to the "Core Clock" bar and drag it to the left to make it 100mhz less then what it defaults to.
- You will then hit "Apply" and that's it.
Once this is done you can exit MSI Afterburner and once again try to begin and finish Mission 2. This has worked for me and many others but there's no guarantee it will work for everyone. Be that as it may I wish you luck and after Mission 2 it has been said you can put your graphics card back to the default core clock speed.
Stay tuned to Gamersciz as we will have our own Black Ops 2 review coming soon (now that we can complete the campaign).
*Note: This is specific to the PC version of Black Ops 2 running Nvidia cards (mainly 500 series and above). If you have other issues check out the article below for fixes and suggestions.

No secret plan
Why you don't have to 'find' God's will for your life
A large strand of contemporary evangelical theology—what I call the "new evangelical theology"—emphasizes the need to "find God's will for your life." This challenge turns out to be a terrific source of anxiety for the students I encounter. They're young, which means they have a lot of life ahead of them and a lot of big decisions to make. When they hear about the importance of "finding God's will for your life," they conclude that it's not enough to learn how to make good decisions about what career to pursue or whom to marry. On top of all that, you have to figure out whether this is exactly the decision God has in mind for you. And how do you figure that out?
The will of God is an important biblical concept, but it turns out that what my evangelical students are trying to find is something different.

Different By Design Part 1
"Almost without notice, our homes and churches have become the newest laboratory for sex-role experimentation. Lured by the world's acceptance and a national obsession with fairness, we've replaced the once-clear biblical boundaries between men and women with a confusing, frighteningly secular hybrid. The harmony and effectiveness we were promised never came – only a treacherous rift that is ruining marriages, dividing families, and splitting churches top to bottom."
–John Macarthur in Different By Design
In the beginning, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it…" He commanded them.
Men and women have been created in God's image, and therefore have an intellect, emotions, and a will, "by which they are able to think, feel and choose." (DBD, pg. 18) However, in his book Macarthur notes that man and woman were "created in His image essentially." (emphasis added) They never possessed any supernatural attributes because they are human, not all divine.
J.P David Pawson, in his book Leadership is Male, notes that the equality mentioned in Genisis "does not mean interchangeability. A cylinder head and crankcase may be of the same material, size, weight, and cost – but they cannot be exchanged."
This perfect relationship was one where the man and woman were "co-regents." They were to rule together, and to subdue the earth. But the essential question still remains: are they equal?
Raymond C. Ortlund explains this seeming paradox found in Genesis:
"Was Eve Adam's equal? Yes and No. She was his spiritual equal and…"suitable for him" But she was not his equal in that she was his "helper." God did not create man and woman in an undifferentiated way, and their mere maleness and femaleness identify their respective roles. A man, just by virtue of his manhood, is called to lead for God. A woman, just by virtue of her womanhood, is called to help for God." (Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood).
So begins our journey through John Macarthur's book, Different By Design. In this series, we will be looking at the fall of man and how feminism has been attacking since the beginning, the case for authority and submission, God's design for marriage, and the God's design for the church.

Despite relative political stability, Colombian democracy has been undermined by ongoing violence generated by left-wing guerrillas as well as paramilitary groups and their successors, both with ties to the extensive narcotics industry. Since taking office in 2010, President Juan Manuel Santos has supported an ambitious agenda for social reform, passing a Victims and Land Restitution law in 2011 and initiating peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC) in 2012. Implementation of any agreement will not begin until there is consensus reached on five policy points: rural development, the reincorporation of the FARC into civilian life and political participation, an end to the armed conflict, drug trafficking and victims' rights.
NDI's activities in Colombia are dedicated to the memory of Nevio Fernando Serna Díaz, a mayor who participated in NDI's Political Leadership Program and was brutally assassinated in May 2000.

October 31st is time for grand Halloween parties. Halloween is a popular festival that is celebrated in the USA and a host of other countries such as Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and other European countries.
Halloween has its origins in the Celtic regions of Ireland where October marked the end of the harvesting season. This culmination is celebrated as the festival of Samhain. It is during this period that the ancient people used to plan their livestock and food supplies for the impending winter. They believed that during this period the dead souls could create trouble for the living beings in the form of diseases, plague or cause crops to fail.
In order to placate the dead souls, they used to dance around bonfires and throw bones of slaughtered livestock in the fire. They also wore masks and costumes to mimic the dead souls.
Evolution of Modern Halloween
As the Irish people migrated to the United States, they also took along their customs and culture. They mixed with other people, notably Mexicans and others who also contributed part of their culture to Halloween.
Halloween Costumes
Traditionally, it is said that people wore the scary costumes of ghosts, witches, and monsters. Costumes of modern day Halloween resemble popular characters from TV shows and movies. Halloween costumes for kids, teens and adults are available with just a few clicks of the button. Costume accessories such as ghoulish masks, scary make up kits, hats, weapons etc are also available along with the costumes. Sample costume ideas have been noted.
Halloween Decorations
Halloween decorations are unique in nature. You can decorate your office, house, storeroom and backyard with spooky stuff either bought from outlets or obtained through the Internet.
Halloween House Party decorations
Backyard decorations
Halloween Games
Traditional games played at Halloween parties include Treasure hunt, pumpkin carving, and bobbing apples. Some of the modern additions are relay races, Halloween word puzzles and pumpkin bowling.

Usual snacks and treats include candies, cookies and cupcakes. Various ghoulish shaped cookie cutters are available online or in markets. for scary decorations or toppings of snacks raisins, gummy worms, walnuts etc are used. Variety of spooky drinks that resemble blood, slime etc is available.

July/August 1999
Label Watch: J Curve Records
When Dale Rabiner talks about how he started his independent, Cincinnati-based J Curve Records label, it's a lengthy tale involving a series of events, meeting the right people, and a role model.
The J Curve yarn begins in Rabiner's pre-teens when he started learning and playing guitar. A left-handed player who turned the guitar upside down to play, Rabiner was mostly self-taught after instructors turned him out. "Being told I couldn't do something made me more determined," he says.
By the 1970s, Rabiner figured he wasn't going to set the world on fire as a musician and began to collect and sell vintage guitars (especially rare left-handed instruments). He also returned to college, earned a degree in economics, a master's in Finance, and eventually became managing partner in an investment firm.
Over the years, Rabiner continued to meet musicians such as Howard Roberts, Gene Bertoncini, and others, especially during guitar seminars at Bellarmine College in Louisville. For his 40th birthday celebration several years ago, Rabiner's wife surprised him with a performance by Roberts, whose group included Phil DeGreg (now a J Curve artist whose album, The Green Gate was released in February 1999). In 1997, Bertoncini called Rabiner for help setting up a Cincinnati gig, requesting local guitar wonder Kenny Poole, a splendid musician who'd once sat in with Bertoncini at Cincinnati's Blue Wisp. Rabiner asked, "What if I could get him to record with you?" Bertoncini thought it was a great idea. Poole, who had long avoided recording, surprised Rabiner when he agreed, and East Meets West launched J Curve in the fall of 1997.
What's behind the label name? "J Curve" is a term borrowed from macro-economic theory (too complicated to explain here). As for Rabiner's inspiration, his role model is Jim Benham, a Californian who basically invented what is known as the money market mutual fund. "Benham is also a wonderful flugelhorn player who led his jazz big band, "Full Faith and Credit" (another finance term), and made his publishing/management company a subsidiary of his investment firm," says Rabiner.
Rabiner met his partners–Barbara Gould, musician Phil Bortz, and photographer Ann Segal–through the Greater Cincinnati Jazz Society, founded two years ago. Their initial intent was to market J Curve CDs through guitar publications, but as the label grew and other instrumentalists were signed, they secured piggyback distribution with Igmod Records in 1998.
To showcase regional and emerging jazz artists, they also launched the subsidiary, J Seven, named after the seven hills in Cincinnati. The first CD, Cincinnati Jazz Collection, Volume 1, featuring the city's best jazz groups, has sold well, with partial proceeds going to Xavier University's Piano and Guitar Series directed by Father John Heim.
"Our goal is to be a top-quality, mainstream label," says Rabiner. "We like to think we are artist friendly. A lot of our A&R comes from our artists." By June, Ra-biner expected to have released a grand total of 15 albums, including CDs by pianist
Aaron Goldberg, vocalist Lenora Zenzalai Helm, trumpeter Darren Barrett (winner of the 1997 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition), pianist William Mene field (on J Seven), a second release from guitarist Kenny Poole, and a six-guitarist tribute to Tal Farlow, featuring Mark Elf, Randy Johnston, Mundell Lowe, Jack Wilkins, Gene Bertoncini and Pete Bernstein, with drummer Idris Muhammad, and bassist Dennis Irwin, joined by vibist Joe Locke on three tracks.
Rabiner has juggled all past and future projects, including a salsa album by Latin X-Posure on the J Seven subsidiary due out this Spring, while still working as a financial analyst. "If I have one regret about the label it's that you can't do all these things and not give up something. Unfortunately, I'm not playing as much these days," he says.

Written by Ilham on 18.07.2014 at 17:49
I don't really have an opinion on who's the best, but I am suprised Tankian didn't make the list.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 18.07.2014 at 19:30
I'm guessing Tankian isn't here as the OP doesn't consider SOAD a nu metal band (which they aren't). He trounces most vocalists ever though.
Written by AnGina-- on 18.07.2014 at 19:28
I'm have quite a big admiration for Jonathan Davis, so I can't really agree that he's not "exceptionally talented". His vocal style varies from ultra violent to emotionally atmospheric and his approach to singing is most definitely unique and not to mention, instantly recognizable.
Written by Guest on 18.07.2014 at 20:49
I'd definitely have to give Corey Taylor some credit, Slipknot work aside. Slipknot unfortunately suffer in the "Talented musicians in a band that doesn't put much effort into their music" category (not's to say they aren't real good at points; their debut is a stone-cold classic and they have a bunch of other good stuff in their discography). He's done some good vocal work before. I hear he's real good in Stone Sour, but I've never actually listened to them, so I can't say.
Written by InnerSelf on 18.07.2014 at 19:39
Aside from Tankian, who is boss, Chino from Deftones is my favorite.
Written by Ganondox on 18.07.2014 at 19:52
Agree with what you're saying, if he wasn't he wouldn't be that high. I just make the distinction between unique and versatile and considered technically talented in the traditional sense, that's what I was referring to.
Written by Troy Killjoy on 18.07.2014 at 22:07
I never understood the credit Taylor seems to get for his clean vocals. To me they sound lazy and safe, similar in a sense to that post-grunge style a la Default, Theory of a Deadman, Nickelback, etc.
Written by Ilham on 18.07.2014 at 17:49
Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if you put the band names for some of those. I don't think everyone knows all the line-ups by heart.

There is a large number of third party lens attachments for smartphones available. You can choose from fisheye, wide-angle, macro or tele lenses, or even attach an entire camera module. The Micro Phone Lens Kickstarter project is different though. It's a minuscule lens attachment made from a scratch-proof polymer that turns your smartphone or tablet into a microscope with a 150x magnification factor.
The lens is adhesive, you simply stick it on and pull it off after use. The system works best when using a microscope slide. You focus by gently pressing on the slide until the image on your device's screen is in focus.
The Micro Phone Lens works on both the front and rear camera of any device that has at least a 5MP image size. The lens also has a diameter of only 6mm. The current prototype offers a resolution of approximately 2 Microns which will be improved to 1.5-1.6 Microns for the final production version.
If you want to back the project you can pre-order a Micro Phone Lens for $29 on the project's Kickstarter page. At this price the lens is a lot cheaper than dedicated microscopes with a comparable magnification which makes it ideal for home or school use. A portable and affordable microscope would also allow for scientific research in remote areas where access to scientific instruments are limited or non-existent. The video below provides more information about the project and the operation of the lens.
Source: Kickstarter
I remember something like this from Lifehacker in 2010.
Sorry, editing police here - "There is a large number of third party lens attachments for smartphones available." -> "There ARE a large number of third party lens attachments for smartphones available."
Sorry Ken, but your correction is actually an error. Take a look at this sentence:
"A large number of third party lens attachments for smartphones -is- available."
Here the subject is 'a large number'. Using 'there is/are' doesn't change the subject, and so the original sentence is correct: "There is [...]"
Sorry Rodelion, I'm no grammarian, but your correction of Ken's handy observation just does not sound right at all for I, also, tripped up on that one in the original sentence of Lars Rehm's article. I hear it all the time now in modern parlance and am always given to wonder just how loose, or forgiving, grammar is these days. Perhaps only twenty years ago I might have very occasionally heard 'is' to preface a plurality, but it would pass as uttered by one who might not know better. In short, it just sounds plain moronic.
"There is a large number of tanks in Tahrir Square" I remember well. Even the BBC have correspondents who are prone to this modern malaise.
I try not to despair.
Excuse the OT aspect of this post.
Heh this is a funny thread. My wife is an editor and I threw this by her - she suggested "there are numerous" - haha!
BTW Even better would be to move the verb up. "There are numerous/many third-party lens attachments available for smartphones."
The molded polymer (scratchproof, how does THAT work, it's plastic!) lens is probably (at most) $3.00 in large quantities. Still, those who think of them first...
Might be a interesting product but 150X magnification is probably stretching it a bit. Looking at the web site the quality at 150x isn't bad, but not equivalent to a microscope.
Unfortunately bacteria require 1000X mag to visualize usefully.
Still a very interesting product .... I will probably put my 25$ in
Does it come in Apple bayonet mount?
I have been using microscopes since grade school and have a degree in biology. Microscopy is also a current hobby. I see this as an emerging technology and hopefully will advance further. There were no details provided about the resolution capability of the lens. Also pressing a slide against the lens can be an iffy and could eventually damage the slide. Just having magnification is not enough as increasing it only produces "empty magnification" without any increase in resolution.
Be funny if someone tries a drop of water, with no cover slip! Dry specimens or mounted ones will work fine. Empty magnification won't be an issue at 150x, unless the lens is particularly poor. I'd be more worried about residual aberrations, especially chromatic. Maybe they can correct it in-phone, like some cameras?
Next project: an endoscope
Someone might have already done it. Smartphones seem to have the craziest add-on accesories available on market.
Just googled smartphone endoscope and I found this- https://www.anthonyproducts.com/store/p-1113-clearsight-smartphone-adapter.aspx

Editor's Note
By Irene Lacher 08/01/2011
Most of life is focused on the prime years of active adulthood, either by preparing for it, retiring from it or being in the midst of it. And Arroyo, for the most part, is geared toward life in that happy middle. So this month, we look at the bookends of adulthood — those critical formative years of childhood and one's golden retirement, prospects for which have tarnished of late.
The good news is that recent research into young brains is revealing new pathways to learning. Arcadia psychotherapist Tina Payne Bryson, co-author of The Whole-Brain Child (Random House) coming out this fall, is on the cutting edge of translating that research into 21st-century parenting. Ilsa Setziol visits Bryson to find that she practices what she preaches.
A fresh face on the local education front is new Pasadena Unified School District Superintendent Jon Gundry, a 1992 Fulbright Scholar, former Houston schools administrator and until recently, interim superintendent of the Los Angeles County Office of Education. Noela Hueso talks to him about how he plans to bring Pasadena schools into the 21st century and attract families that have turned to private education.
Of course, planning one's retirement these days is hardly child's play, what with the economic assault on IRAs, 401(k)s and pensions and threats to Social Security and Medicare. So boomers' inheritances are becoming increasingly important to ensuring comfort in their golden years. Bettijane Levine talks to Arroyoland financial experts about what heirs should know before they dash to their closest Maserati dealer.
But then one could always take a tip from the retirement plan of the always delightful Nancy Spiller. Then again, maybe not. See for yourself on page 16.

Hall of Fame Official Garvey Passes Away
National Lacrosse Hall of Famer Jim Garvey, a long-time high school, college and club official who was the originator of the "wide triangle" style of lacrosse officiating used today, passed away Feb. 5 while awaiting a heart transplant at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He was 70.
Garvey officiated seven NCAA men's lacrosse championships, including the inaugural championship in 1971. He served as the USILA's coordinator of officials from 1987-90 and NCAA's supervisor of lacrosse officials from 1990-93. He was inducted to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2001.
His work wasn't limited to lacrosse. Garvey was the only modern referee to work the historic Army-Navy game in three sports: lacrosse, basketball and football, and worked four college bowl games, including the 1987 Cotton Bowl, and five NCAA basketball tournaments.
Garvey grew up in Mineola on Long Island and graduated from Adelphi in 1964. He was an official with Metropolitan New York Lacrosse from 1963 to 1987 and was Hofstra's athletic director from 1986-1997.
"He was the best storyteller ever, whether it was sitting at the dinner table or watching a ballgame," his stepdaughter, Erin Weinberg, told Newsday (N.Y.). "He'd tell stories of officiating games with John Thompson, Joe Paterno, Lou Holtz. Whenever things got crazy on the field he'd be the one in the middle of the bunch, the rational, calm voice of reason."
Garvey lived with his wife, Gwen, in Callawassie Island, S.C, since his retirement from Hofstra. He is survived by daughter Kristen Garvey of Huntington, N.Y.; Weinberg, of Summit, N.J., and two other stepchildren, Robert Davy of Lexington, Mass., and Lauren Davy of Summit, N.J.; sister Barbara Lanzone of California; and four grandchildren.
The family has established the James V. Garvey Memorial Scholarship to help student-athletes in Hofstra's men's lacrosse program. Gifts to the James V. Garvey Memorial Scholarship Fund can be sent via check and payable to "Hofstra University" and mailed to: Tim McMahon, Associate Director of Athletics, 207 Mack Sports Complex, 245 Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. 11549.

Over the past month, there's been an increase in bank runs and deposit freezes to stop bank runs occur throughout Europe. See the links below:
- Major Italian Bank Freezes All Customer Accounts
- Greek Lenders See Bank Run
- Run on Nationalized Bank in Spain Begins
I consider it well within the realm of possibility that these stories will continue. The banking system in Europe, like the banking system almost everywhere else in the world, is unstable; this is the inevitable by-product of a world in which all money is loaned into existence, thus creating a debt burden that is greater than the entire existing money supply. There are thus only two possible solutions for the global debt crisis:
- Cancel debt and reform monetary policy.
- Keep printing money, although this adds to the debt burden (since new money will enter the supply via the issuance of new loans), so in a way it only exacerbates the problem, if delaying its ultimate collapse a bit longer.
At this point, individuals around the world should have cash, precious metals, and food in their home in the event of a national emergency. Bank accounts could be frozen, businesses could thus have trouble sustaining operations, and all sorts of madness could then ensue.
While bank freezes and national emergencies are a worst case scenario that I think is prudent to prepare for, I do not consider it likely. In the US, deposits are insured; in fact, in the 2008 financial crisis, deposit insurance was increased. I consider it likely that similar policies will emerge throughout Europe and quickly; there may be a period of a few weeks or months until these policies are implemented, but I consider it highly likely, as failure to do so will ultimately decrease confidence in the Euro and increase the likelihood of a complete run on the Euro. The political price of deposit insurance, though, may be greater fiscal unity and less national sovereignty in Europe. The Euro project has been marching towards greater integration over the past 50 years; remember the origins of the EU go back to 1958 via the European Coal and Steel Community, when it was originally meant to be a trade agreement amongst six countries to create a single market for coal and steel. Since then, it has evolved into a political and economic union of 27 countries, complete with its own central bank, currency, parliament, and court system. I do not expect this trend to be reversed without equally great political will -- and given that Syriza, the most rebellious group with a critical mass of followers still supports the eurozone, it does not seem sufficient political will is with us yet.
So, member countries get the money printing they want from the European Central Bank, which in turn ensures that deposits can be insured and that there is enough cash for withdrawals. There a few consequences of this:
- Price inflation of real goods throughout the eurozone. This should be intuitive; there will be more money circulating, but not more goods, so price goes up.
- However, this will stabilize the banking system and give strength to the Euro project. As a result, I think it will be very bullish for the Euro (NYSEARCA:FXE), and that global markets will turn their attention to other countries mired in sovereign debt that could turn into a currency crisis. Specifically, these countries are the UK, Japan, and the United States.
Ongoing weakness in the US dollar remains one of the key focal points for investors around the world to build a viable investing strategy around. Anything that points to dollar weakness -- and stopping bank runs in Europe, because it strengthens the Euro, will lead to a global capital flow into the Euro and outside of the US dollar -- is also bullish for US stocks, which are priced in US dollars. This is why resolution of the European sovereign debt crisis is ultimately bullish for equities. From this perspective, buying US stocks is a great opportunity if the eurozone sovereign debt crisis worsens and more bank runs occur in Europe; buy the equities when international investors are fleeing the Euro into the dollar and depressing equities, because once the eurozone steps in with bailout money, deposit insurance, and greater fiscal unity, the US dollar will weaken and US equities, as measured by the S&P 500 index (NYSEARCA:SPY), will go much higher.
From this perspective, the whole Euro crisis and its resolution boil down to three points to watch:
- Money printing out of the eurozone to insure deposits, preserve (and probably strengthen) their union and prevent a run on the Euro, and give countries debased currency they can use to pay off their debt.
- Once all of these measure go through or are on track to going through, the value of the Euro relative to other countries with larger debt problems -- namely the US and Japan -- will rise.
- A weaker dollar means a weaker Treasury bond market (NYSEARCA:TBT), higher US equities , and higher precious metals prices (NYSEARCA:GLD).
The longer point #1 is delayed and the more the market worries about bank runs, the more time investors have to accumulate while the US dollar is still strong. That, in my opinion, is the contrarian opportunity to exploit out of this whole mess with the eurozone.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Cranberry and Almond Quick Bread
I love making quick breads.
Because they are quick. Seriously. They are easy to make, no yeast to bloomand rise. Just mix, bake and eat.
I especially love making recipes that call for TWO loaves of quick bread, like this one. Once the bread has cooled and glaze has hardened, I wrap it up in a sheet of foil and slide it into a ziploc freezer bag. Label it and stick it in the freezer. When we are ready to eat it, I pull it out the night before and put it on the counter. Moist and delicious.
I always clean my pantry out this time of year. And I always find hidden treasures. One of those things I found was a can of whole berry cranberry sauce.
Don't judge me. I love the canned cranberry. Usually I buy the jellied stuff that comes out in one big can shape! I must have bought this one by accident, haha! But it was perfect in this quick bread. Trust me! ENJOY!
Want more quick bread recipes?
Here are a few favorites of mine:
Triple Chocolate Caramel Butterscotch Bread: as good as it looks! Maybe for dessert not breakfast, though!
Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Bread: now this is my kind of breakfast!
Apple Cinnamon Bread: quick and easy bread filled with all the comforts of an apple pie!
Zucchini Blueberry Bread: a great way to use up that abundance of zucchini every year!
Cranberry and Almond Quick Bread
Yield: 2 loaves
For the Bread:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 can (14oz) whole-berry cranberry sauce
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in almond extract. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly mix in sour cream.
- Grease two loaf pans and line bottom with parchment paper. Spoon about 1 1/4 cup of batter into bottom of each pan, using a spatula to press it into the sides. Add a large spoonful of the cranberry sauce on top. Repeat layer of batter, pressing with fingers (it won't completely cover the cranberry). Add second layer of cranberry and top with remaining batter.
- Bake loaves in a 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove and cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely before adding glaze.
- For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar with milk and almond extract until desired consistency (add more or less milk as desired). Spread on top of bread. Allow to set, about 20 minutes.
- To store, wrap loaves of bread in foil, then in a ziploc bag. Store on counter or keep in freezer until ready to use. ENJOY!

It is that time of year again. It is the time to irrationally pick the Gophers to go to the Sweet 16. It is the time of year to invest too much energy in rooting for Belmont, Davidson, or Hyphenated-State to beat a top 10 team. It is the time of year to win a book or two?
Well, the last part is true at least. We've set up a group at ESPN's Tournament. The top two entries win a fabulous From The Barn t-shirt, and their choice of a March Madness themed book. The next two (or maybe more depending what I can scrounge up) win whichever book the better scorers don't want. The real prize, of course, is endless bragging rights for the next 11 and a half months.
The books up for grabs are:
The rules are pretty simple. You get one entry. Best finisher gets a t-shirt and first choice of a book. Second place gets a t-shirt and their choice of the remaining books. Third place gets to choose from the two remaining books. Fourth place gets to hope they want to read whatever is left.
Click here to join the fun. The password is "hosea". Good luck, and may your brackets not be broken…until Friday afternoon.

Trains fascinate us, so we've visited many museums to see these powerful machines of transport.
The Baltimore B&O Railroad Museum houses collections from the beginning of the Age of the Railroad to every phase of the industry as it developed. In fact, it is touted as having the finest collection of 19th century steam engines in the country. Anyone who loves trains will enjoy this museum!
Hours are Mon.-Fri. from 10 am-4 pm; Sat. 10 am-5 pm; Sun. 11 am-4 pm. The museum is closed on most holidays. Admission is $14 for adults; $12 for seniors; $8 for children 2-12; free for children under 2. **Train rides are included in the admission price on Tues.-Sun. from April-December. (May be cancelled in inclement weather)
Today, the B&O Railroad Museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of American railroading through the history and legacy of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the Western Maryland Railway, and the regional railroads of the mid-Atlantic.
In 1999, the B&O Railroad Museum joined the Smithsonian Institution's Affiliates Program becoming the first railroad museum and the first museum in Maryland to hold that distinction.
Most people take the railroads for granted. But in 1829, they made their first appearance in the United States. It happened right here, in Baltimore. It was a sensation, and it changed history.
The first railroad in America was laid down right here. One can still ride the route of that first railroad. Trains depart daily from April through December. There's not a whole lot to see, but it's still a historic experience.
The old Roundhouse, where locomotives and rolling stock were once maintained, now houses some of the oldest ones in existence. The museum also has some nice model trains, and a collection of railroad memorabilia. This includes the First Stone, laid down on July 4, 1828, by Charles Carrollton--the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The B&O Railroad Museum is one of the premire railroad museums in the country. It has an extensive collection of engine and railroad cars. It is a must for any railroad lover.
Fellow VT Member GrandmaR informed me that the roof to the B&O Museum collapsed during the harsh winter of 2003. It is uncertain when or if the museum will open again.

Lawsy, I suck at making the videos, but it doesn't stop me!
All I ask is that you please don't show The German. She has such a hard time accepting that her life's work of shaping me into a dainty lady has been a bust.
For all my runnin' babies new to the treacherous Texas heat/humidity combo, this is for you. It's also a helpful reminder to the rest of us. Especially the stubborn ones among us (coughMEcoughSHELLIcough).
Who liked that gorgeous shot of my grass as I talked about Airrosti and my new kicks? WHO?! In my defense, I had just finished 7 miles in the killer heat/humidity combo and I was a little light-headed.
Here's the Airrosti magic I was trying to show you:
And this:
Thanks to Dr. Dale Girod and my new recovery specialist Jonathan Surls (who now knows me as the lady who had a monster back-spasm on their floor last year, complete with some screaming and an ear-busting cussing tourets episode), my run was better than expected, considering they worked me over yesterday, where I may or may not have (totally may) kicked someone in the process.
INADVERTENTLY, people.
They are saints, I tell ya. And I'm not just saying that because they're my….wait for it….Rock and Roll Marathon SPONSOR this year! They are going to work to keep me injury-free for the 1/2 in November.
Here's their info: Airrosti. If you have a tweak or an injury, see them first. I'm not kidding. They have changed my life.
My new kicks that you can't see in the video? Come back soon to find out about them and the new sponsor who supplied them! (Run On!, San Antonio)
On to video #2:
I gots a bucket, y'all.
You should get one too.
Feel free to mock away in the comments. Better yet, what are you guys doing to stay safe and prevent injuries out there?
