Sunday, August 09, 2009
The first part of the week I was feeling pretty stressed out and sad. I was making arrangements to go to Montana for my grandfather's funeral next week and work was stressing me out and I'm worn out from training and I'm pms-ing. It was a struggle. I got my workouts in but wasn't enjoying any part of it. I finally talked to my boss and decided to take a couple of much-needed personal days off later in the week (actually going to Montana next week, but I needed these days NOW). As the week went on I pulled it together and managed to really enjoy my training and social time. I'm still a little moody but the events of the late week really helped perk me up.
Thursday Zach and I went for our long ride up on Sauvie Island north of Portland. It is FLAT as a pancake and very little traffic. It ended up being absolutely amazing. It was my second-longest bike ride ever (62+ miles) and it was my FASTEST training ride ever. I've only ever ridden faster in sprint-distance races. Holy crap! What a boost. All the hills are paying off. I was so excited I allowed myself to sprint the last 3 miles and really pushed my limits. It felt great. After the ride Zach and I went to one of the farms on the island and picked fresh peaches right off the trees and raspberries from the bushes. They had so much more- fruits, veggies, flowers, but we tried to only take what we would use. And boy did we use them- Zach made a delicious peach pie!
Friday we drove out to Hood River and ran the Historic Columbia River Highway trail. I didn't bother bringing my camera since I have taken pics out there several other times. It was a tough run due to VERY strong winds- at times I was barely moving forward, and even on a downhill! Winds had to be at least 50 MPH at times. We headed home and I got ready to go meet all the PBR girls and a few others for Emily's bachelorette party. First we went down the street to watch some of the Twilight Crit which was amazing. The speed these dudes corner at gave me chills. I was actually kind of scared, haha. It was amazing to watch. Anyway, the girls night out was more fun than I could have imagined! Emily was such a good sport and it was great to spend time with Alisa, Amy, and Sarah, along with meeting some great new friends. Pics below (the "bad" ones are being saved for future blackmail purposes)
The actual weekend was nice too, I got in a shorter bike ride Saturday at an embarrassingly slow hangover pace, and then today I pulled out an awesome long run. All in all, a very strong week and my highest volume to date. I reeeeally loved that the weather has cooled way off and I know that helped me complete the workouts with energy to spare. Here is the recap of the whole week and then there are tons of pictures. Let's get to it:
Monday: rest
No strength training, I have officially fallen off that wagon. Whatevs.
Tuesday: Run
7.0/59:07/8:27 average pace
Waterfront. It was a little warm but compared to last week I can't complain.
Tuesday: Swim
2000 yards/1:00
Masters. We had a random substitute coach who showed up about 10 minutes late but she gave me some great tips and drills to work on my pull.
Wednesday: Bike
1:00 spin
No Alisa this week! :( She had a puppy emergency. I missed her!
Wednesday: Run
4.35 miles/37:43/8:40 average pace
Brick run down along the waterfront after spin class. I felt good!
Wednesday: Swim
2200 yards/1:00
Thursday: Bike
62.2 miles/3:45:15/16.5 MPH
Sauvie Island
Hell ya.
Friday: Run
9.0 miles/1:18:36/8:44 average pace
Hood River/Columbia River Highway trail
Saturday: Bike
26.2 miles/2:06:00/12.4 MPH
Tired/Hungover. The victory here is that I didn't throw up or pass out.
Sunday: Run
13.0 miles/1:53:31/8:44 average pace
Longest run since the Eugene Half marathon back in May! Good pace too. I started off pretty slow but picked it up about mile 5. Fastest mile was 8:06.
totals for the week
Swim: 2:00 (4200 yards)
Bike: 6:50 (88.4 miles road + 1 spin class)
Run: 4:55 (33.35 miles!)
total training volume: 13:45
Right on track!
Well this next week will be a little unplanned "taper" week.. I'm flying up to Montana Tuesday and coming home Wednesday, and will probably not get in any training either day. That is ok though because next Sunday I'll be racing the Lake Stevens 70.3 up outside of Seattle. I'm really excited- I want to test my fitness and I can't wait to see Zach finish his first half iron distance tri! Should be an awesome event. I will post again before I head up there. Thanks for all the support and condolences about my grandpa, I really appreciate it. You guys are the best! I really feel bad about not ready any blogs lately, and I hope to catch up soon. Thanks for reading everyone!
Enjoy the pics below. Oh, and check out my new haircut! Zach was pleased that I decided against shaving it off. Hopefully the shorter cut will be easier to manage.

Awww love the pictures. I can't believe any of you got out of bed on Saturday! I wasn't hung over but I was TIRED. We went to Hagg Lake to ride, it was embarassing but I had to walk my bike up one hill--YIKES.
Missed you at spin on Wednesday, sounds like I'll miss you this week too. Can't wait to read all about Lake Stevens--YEAH!
P.S. How did we get so lucky to find guys that BAKE!?! Mmmmmm. - 7:07 PM

Oh dear Jen I've been away for 2 weeks and I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope that the trip is safe and good.
As far as your workouts are concerned - you're doing fabulously. You're coping with the rough and wow - when it's smooth you're flying! Allow yourself a bit of a taper and eat some more peach pie..
Love and strength, Petra - 10:12 PM
- Ewen said...
You're doing well Jen. Sauvie Island sounds like a good venue for a few more big rides before Arizona. I like the tongue out photo - you're having too much fun! Beautiful fruit too.
It'll be interesting to see how you and Zach go in the 70.3. I'm predicting a big PR for yourself, but by how much?
Oh yes, the hair looks good (I've been told to always say that). - 2:08 AM
- Emily said...
Love the updates and pics! I had so much fun @ the party - thanks for organizing!

I am so proud of your "strong finish" this week -I know it was a tough one for you... but YOU DID IT! Good Job!! I love that you added some of my new flower pics :) They look awesome on your blog! AND I especially like the candid Zach and Jen on bikes photo b/c we only get to see just you or just him - together is fun! Anyway - this is more of an email than a post... You are doing great in your IM training... Good Luck next weekend!
- ShirleyPerly said...
Again, so sorry we missed getting together with you & Zach last weekend. We were actually in the Stevenson area riding along 14 on Fri & Sun. And, yes, the wind was incredible at times. Guess that's why the Gorge is such a hotspot for windsurfing and kite boading.
Anyway, hope you have a safe trip to MT! - 6:14 PM
- Sarah said...
Great photos - as always. I hope you enjoy/ed your personal days. I just really like you. Sending thoughts your way regarding MT.
- John said...
Hope you're holding up, Jen - sounds like you're doing great on the training end of things. You're going to love IMAZ - I did it in '07, and it was an amazing event. Can't wait to follow along on your IM journey.
- kelsalynn said...
Man, I just read your comment about you being here in 3 months and I got butterflies! it's SO CLOSE!! OMG! I'm nervous and excited for you already and I can't wait to cheer you on. I have a lot of prep to do before then to- there's signs I gotta make, noise-makers I need to find... I better get on it! =]
I looked up the Ironman Arizona and in case you weren't sure, you're registered :) There's a lot of "jennifers" b/c I didn't know your last name, but you're the only one from OREGON! lol

On Wednesday, November 24, the Obama administration designated 187,157 square miles (approximately 120 million acres) in Arctic Alaska as a 'critical habitat' for polar bears threatened by disappearing sea ice due to climate change. Let us take a moment to give thanks to those who made this significant designation possible—President Obama and the Department of Interior, and three environmental groups: Center for Biological Diversity, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Greenpeace.
Each day we would go out on a buggy—large vehicle with very high tires that allows safe viewing and picturing of bears. I came back with some decent photos. But I also came back with one photograph that has haunted me ever since—one polar bear eating another. I never exhibited or published this photo until now. In it we see a juvenile bear eating a larger bear. The story goes like this as it was told to me by a local guide—in the early morning hours a large bear killed another and ate as much as possible and then departed. When we arrived a smaller bear was eating what was left. I was also told that a large male does occasionally kill small cubs on ice to attract a female to mate, but it is highly unusual that a mature bear would kill another to eat. They're actually very social animals that like to hang out and play together. |

What your phone vendor didn't tell you about Bluetooth security
Is your address book open to the world? Is your mobile phone calling Russia? Many users don't know how easy it is for an attacker to target Bluetooth.
Do you remember the friendly young man with the laptop sitting next to you on the subway this morning who got off one station before you did? Now he knows all about your appointment with the doctor tomorrow afternoon; he knows your girlfriend's phone number; he's read the messages your co-workers sent you after the meeting yesterday. In fact, he's read all your messages and the phone numbers on your cell phone too. And, incidentally, he just
changed your appointment with the boss by one hour. You're going to be late, and you can forget about that promotion.

Tim Cahill named Best MLS Player
The 2014 accolades continue to pile up for Socceroo Tim Cahill, with the New York Red Bulls star taking out the ESPY for Best MLS Player.
Cahill was among a host of sporting heroes honoured at the glittering red carpet event in Los Angeles following a successful 2013-14 campaign saw him notch up 11 goals in the US topflight.
The latest gong follows news the 34-year-old's stunning left-footed volley against the Netherlands in the 2014 World Cup has been nominated by FIFA as a contender for goal of the tournament.
Brazilian legend Ronaldo was among those who joined in the global admiration for the veteran's strike: "It was the best goal of the World Cup and it's going to go down in history as one of the most beautiful World Cup goals."
Cahill has now scored in three consecutive world cups and in March this year became Australia's all- time top goal scorer when he put two past Ecuador in a 4-3 friendly loss.
In other ESPY news the US men's national team won 'best moment' for the 2-1 victory over Ghana in their opening World Cup match.
The sports awards have been held annually since 1993 and are decided by a fan vote.

SYNOPSIS:In 2700, after hundreds of years doing what he was built for, WALL-E (voice of Ban Burtt), short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth class, discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when a sleek life-seeking robot, EVE (voice of Elissa Knight), is delivered to Earth by a spaceship, dispatched by the automated system aboard the Axiom - where humans have been existing in a peculiar state of robot-assisted daze for 700 years. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and is sent back to space to report her findings to the mother ship - to advise that it is safe to return home. Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy.
Review by Louise Keller:Wonderfully inventive, this whimsical sci-fi animation from the wizards at Pixar is topical in its environmental message and full of heart when it comes to its robot/ droid romance. Brilliant execution allows much of the communications throughout WALL-E to be wordless, with smartly used sound effects. While it's entertaining, amusing and heartwarming, the big surprise is that we become totally involved in the film's reality, and champion the rusty little robot that loses whatever heart he happens to have to the pristine, sleek super-model programmed droid EVE.Although his job of clearing rubbish is mechanical, the endearing and hard-working robot whose acronym is WALL-E has some ultra human characteristics. These include being tickled by his lone companion of a cockroach and emotionally touched by the love scenes in his favourite movie - the Jerry Herman musical numbers from Hello Dolly. We know he is sentimental because when he takes EVE back to his place, he tries to impress her with all the special things he has been gathering, like a Rubik's Cube, an egg beater, a light bulb and a piece of bubble wrap which EVE pops bubble by bubble with great curiosity. The first section of the film with its dark production design firmly establishes the state of the world and the little robot's daily tasks of compacting all the rubbish he collects. Then begins the grand adventure as robot and droid return to mothership Axiom, where we see obese humans living in a type of 5 star luxury that enables their existence without moving from their blow-up chairs. There's genuine excitement as WALL•E and EVE are expelled into space with a first kiss that makes the robot light headed, and a series of events in which man starts a mutiny against the machines.Andrew Stanton, the man behind Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and Toy Story has the imagination and skills to make this creative and ingenious animated film work on many levels and while the voices may not play the key roles, it's with a tip of the hat to the sci-fi genre that Sigourney Weaver is cast as the voice of the spaceship computer. The underlying environmental message comes across strongly but never with heavy hands and the miracle of the film is that we connect with a little industrious robot that makes a difference and finds love to boot.Review by Andrew L. Urban:WALL-E takes 'cute' right up to the experts of the cuteness business, the Japanese, and promises parents a nagging aftermath of kids wanting WALL-E (voice of Ben Burrt) for pets and playmates. And who can resist? Even EVE (voice of Elissa Knight), a robotic searcher - Extraterrestrial Vegetation Searcher - in what was and could be Paradise (not a subtle symbolism for the Christians), is smitten by this chunky, waste crunching loner who, on finding another moving entity in his shattered world, wants to hold her hand. He's such a romantic; and so into musicals! His favourite show is Hello Dolly! which is on permanent play on his video - via VHS tape!The film has a sneaky message side, too, glimpsed through many large and small details, notably with the humans who are now all so obese [and so homogenously alike] they have to be ferried about in cushioned chairs as they eat and drink pap made and sold by the global brand, Buy N Large - a clever multiplay pun. (Work it out.)The film is full of marvellous invention, and the simple basic story gets it through even when the invention and sense of fun overtakes the filmmakers and confusion reigns for a while. But it's fun confusion, always turning the other cheeky gag, elaborately and brilliantly animated. All of this is done with our hero and heroine having scant dialogue; they wheeze robotically but with limited vocab, consisting of "Walll-eee" and "Eve-a". But still they both communicate everything we need to know - and most of it is emotional suggestion of a very human kind.In what must be a tongue in cheek nod to his Antipodean origins, writer/director Andrew Stanton has named the CEO of Buy N Large, Shelby Forthright (the only genuine human seen in the film), which is played with his usual dose of edgy, wry wit by Fred Willard. I always think he might do or say something unpredictable (or unprintable) any second.Messages and symbolism aside, WALL-E is just like a theme park ride (there'll probably be one before I post this review) - something the Disney people know very well. And do very well. Here, being not just the Mouse House but now Pixar's house as well, the studio is set to launch into the movie equivalent of lightspeed, towards the green house where green is the new black - as in being 'in the black'.

The arrival of new neighbors is cause to rejoice. Some are long time Eagle Harbor vacationers, often members of Copper Country families. Others move here after only a few vsits. All attracted by the rugged beauty of Keweenaw, the ever changing moods of the Lake, and the advantages of life in a small close-knit community. Each bring a wealth of experiences and personal interests, adding to the richness of all our lives. All are welcomed.
"The Cathedral of Saint Jack." That's the name some use to describe Jack Hartmann's soaring A-frame now nearing completion on Marina Road just south of the beach at the east end of Eagle Harbor. A few others, privy to some of the wonders of the abode's interior creature comforts, and noting the structural similarity to Keweenaw's oldest dwelling type, call it the "Warm Towel Wigwam".
Jack, no stranger to the area, plans to make Eagle Harbor his year-around home in early 1997. A neat trick for a guy who works in Saint Louis, Missouri.
How can this be done? Well, Jack's an airline pilot, a captain for Saint Louis based TWA. Jack says it's an easy commute, using standby Northwest Air passes via Houghton and Minneapolis, where he connects to his favorite airline to fly on to work. Several international destinations are on his flight schedule requiring lenghty periods of work, interspersed with breaks of several days -- Jack's opportunity to return home for fun in the snow and surf.
John Robert Hartmann, born and raised in Detroit and Mountain Lakes, NJ, is a Rutgers University geology graduate. Geology, the down-in-the-earth vocation, soon gave way to an above-the-earth love -- flying hot jets for the Air Force. After a Viet Nam tour of duty as a fighter pilot, Jack left the service and signed on with TWA as a flight engineer. He worked his way through TWA layoffs, emerging as one the airline's most experienced captains. He also flies with the Air National Guard in Tucson, until recently his Arizona home.
Eagle Harbor now boasts four active airline pilots. Richard (Ric) Catoni, the son of Jack's Marina Road neighbors, Dick and Charlotte Catoni, flys for Delta out of Salt Lake City. Ric has a camp at Grand Marais. Stu Stewart, husband of Barb(Been), is another Delta pilot, flying out of Atlanta. Barry Bogart, also with Delta, is stationed in Houston. Barry and wife Carol(Johnson) and the Stewarts have cottages near the Lighthouse. Ric, Stu and Barry, and their families, are frequent Harbor visitors. Dick Lantz, a career military pilot, rounds out the Eagle Harbor Air Force. Frank Raley, a civilian pilot, once dreamed of an airstrip on the Copper Falls stamp sands. With all these pilots around, perhaps Jack and Dick, as our resident pilots, will revive the idea?
Jack, now single, has three adult kids -- a daughter and two sons.
His roots in the Copper Country are deep. Jack and sister Marilynn Ehrenreich are the fifth generation of their family to reside in the area. (Marilynn and husband Keith split their time between homes in Southern California and Eagle Harbor. Their Harbor home, also an A-frame, occupies a pine studded rock promenade over-looking the Lake, north of John and Nancy Wakeman's.)
Jack and Marilynn are two of five children of Hortense (La Montagne) and Robert (Bob) Hartmann, who were both born and raised in Laurium. The Hartmann kids were part of the Harbor beach scene for several years. Marilynn's photo albums are filled with pictures of Jack cavorting with the local girls, plus a few attesting to his luck fishing. Jack seems to remember only the fish encounters.
Welcome home Jack! The fish are still biting (occasionally), and wonder of all wonders, many of the same "girls" still frequent the beach -- albeit a lot wiser to the ways of dashing pilots and often joyfully distracted by a covey of their generational offspring.
Jack has extended a "stop for a warm cup of brew" invitation to all early morn walkers as they pass by his new Harbor home on their way to the Marina. Some of us are out pretty early Jack, like 6 a.m., but we'll be there.
Jack would like to hear from "U.P. ers who remember him from 'days of old'". His E-mail address is: 72153,email@example.com.

Still new to the android software and my phone and I have a question about how to get your music to go on your own personal SD card I have the samsung galaxy s 3.
For my Razr I plugged it into my computer and put it on MTP mode and Sync'd things with Windows Media Player, although I had to change the media sync storage to my external SD card instead of the internal one in the Settings>Storage However I think you could just plug into your computer using Mass Storage Mode and copy and paste the files directly into the Music folder on your external SD card and they will be seen by your My Music App or whichever APP you use for music playing. Also welcome to the forum and the world of Android.
To put your phone in myopia mode or mass storage mode , with phone plugged into your PC, pull down the notification bar on your phone and click on the USB mode icon. Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx using Droid Forums

It's a tricky time of year. Thanksgiving and Hanukkah are in the past, Christmas is on the horizon, and our stomachs are in a perpetual state of full. Whether it's goodies at the latest holiday party or the first batches of fudge and gingerbread cookies, you're probably filling up more than you normally do. There's nothing wrong with a little indulgence this time of year--who can resist a cup of peppermint hot chocolate? However, it can be extremely hard to get going for your daily jog or yoga class with a belly full of holiday spirit.
Try to resist the urge to get lazy! It is always important to get your exercise in, but it is especially important during a season where you will be eating more (or a lot more) than usual. I know what you're thinking--I'm already off the bandwagon! I might as well wait until January to start back up with my fitness regime. Nope, the time to get back at it is now! Here are 10 tips to get your fitness back on track during the holiday season.
1. Start ASAP. The longer you are sedentary, the harder it is to get your body moving again. Don't wait until January 1st to start working out again. Chances are you'll be a little hungover that day anyways. Get back to your gym/pool/classes/runs now! Exercise tonight! Even if it's a short walk and a set of crunches. Do something to get your body and mind back in the game as soon as possible.
2. Think of it as stress relief. The holiday season can be extremely stressful. There are a million errands to run, a million presents to buy on a tight budget, and a million people to see. "I don't have enough time" seems like a good enough excuse to skip the gym, right? Wrong. Think of exercising as your stress reliever, because after all, it's a great one. You just spent all day at work, followed by a chaotic trip to Toys R Us. Working out is a great way to clear your mind and sweat out your anxieties.
3. Social hour. Now is the time of year when we often get together with our long lost relatives and friends. Your old college roommate wants to catch up. Your cousin is in town for 2 weeks and is dying to see you. Combine this social time with something active. Chat as you walk laps around the high school track then jog on over to the local coffee shop. Invite them to your Pilates class and then grab lunch. Not only will it make exercising more fun, your friend will be impressed by your dedication to fitness during this busy season.
4. Just go. The longer you are away from your fitness routine, the more you build it up in our mind. You dread that 3-mile run more and more with each passing day, knowing it will feel harder and harder. My advice? Stop overthinking it, and just go for it. Take that first step. Show up at the gym. Lace on your running shoes. Get out there.
5. Try something new. Sometimes it's hard to get back at something because you're bored with it. That step-and-sculpt class was awesome at first, but now it's old hat. Move on! Find something new that gets you pumped. Try a CrossFit session or a Krav Maga class. There are a million classes and workout programs out there. Find one that resonates with you.
6. Change your frame of mind. It's easy to get down on yourself when you've been skipping your workouts. I'm so out of shape. I'm so fat. I'll never be able to get back to where I was. The problem is that this type of thinking is not a good motivator. Who wants to work out when they're feeling bad about themselves? Now is the time to change your tune. Consider the positive aspects of taking a break. Maybe it has given your body time to heal from an injury. Maybe that hour a day has given you more time to spend with your spouse or kids. Whatever it is, acknowledge the positives. You are not a horrible person for slipping up on your fitness habits. We've all done it. Now's the time to get back at it.
7. Easy does it. Your first workout after a slump will probably feel more difficult than you remember. Don't let this deter you or get you disgruntled. If you generally run 5 miles and then do a set of 50 burpees, cut down for your first time back. Run 3 miles, and do half the burpees. Feel okay? Run a bit further. Feel exhausted? Call it a day. Tomorrow go further and push harder. Give your body a chance to remember how hard you can work.
8. Commit to a plan. It's hard to get back at it without a plan. Come up with a short term plan that is achievable and specific. For example, I'm going to work out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week before work. On Monday and Friday I will do my CrossFit plan followed by 2 miles of running, and on Wednesday I will take a cycling class. Having a clear cut itinerary makes your decision to work out easier from day to day. All you have to do is follow your plan.
9. Reward yourself. Pick a reward to give to yourself after a certain fitness milestone. Been back at it for 2 weeks? Get a pedicure. Been going strong for a month? Buy those cute yoga pants you've been eyeing. Big or small, rewards give you something to look forward to, and help motivate you on days when you don't feel so hot.
10. Compete for the health of it. Find a friend that's also in a workout slump, and challenge them to a month-long fitness competition. Count your number of workouts to see who is the most active that month. You can also get more high tech! Bands like the Nike Fuelband track your activity throughout the day, as do apps like Moves, which counts steps. These can make it easy to compete against your friends in a healthy way that's motivating for you both. The loser of the challenge has to buy the winner lunch. Competing can help you to be more accountable, more driven, and also more social.

This book examines whether and how children should be involved in the process of resolving family law disputes. Although there is widespread acceptance in the Western world that the views of children should be taken into account, and that the weight given to those views should depend on their age and maturity, there is much less agreement about how children's voices should be heard and the purposes for which they are to be heard. This book examines these issues, drawing upon empirical data from interviews which explore the views and experiences of children, parents, counsellors, mediators, law ... More

One of the most popular online games, Half-Life, has been host to several modifications and add-on games. Gary's Mod, a popular add-on to the Half-Life game, allows users to play with the physics engine (controls how characters and items interact). Because the game is so popular, it has become common for gamers to create their own servers to host the game.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty today said that she had no plans of venturing into politics.
"I honestly have no interest in politics, I don't think, I could ever get into politics," said Shetty, who was in the city to launch her spa outlet.
When asked about the person, who should become the next Prime Minister of India, Shetty, 38, without naming anyone said, "From my point of view as a common person the PM of India should be a person who must keep the nation first and himself later."
"He should be the one who must take the country forward on the path of development," she added.
As a co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, the actor said it makes her proud that players like Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan, Stuart Binny and Sanju Samson, who once played for her team are today representing the Indian cricket team.
The Indian Premier League(IPL) gave such players a platform to come forward and represent the nation, she said. On a question about the master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar being conferred with Bharat Ratna, she said he deserves all the awards.

Sorry I've been MIA for a bit! I don't have any awesome excuses. No crazy stories to tell. I wish I did. Maybe I should make something up just to make the blog more exciting. Nah. I'm just not feeling that creative today, sorry!
Some of what I've been working on I can't show you. It's that time of year, you know? I have so many projects going that need to be finished. But, you know how easily distracted I am, right? After I taught the young gals to sew buttons last weekend I just kept sewing mine. Then I added some embroidery. It actually came out pretty cute.....
I've also been working on getting all of our London photos into a scrapbook. I haven't scrapbooked in a long time! I'm really enjoying doing it again.
Check back tomorrow for a pattern review and new sewing project. Oh, and this week is Crafty Tuesday again so I'll have some more fun stuff to share with you soon! Hope you had a great weekend.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
HSZ issue draws Sri Lanka government team to Jaffna[TamilNet, Tuesday, 31 December 2002, 13:37 GMT]A high level team of Sri Lanka government officials led by Minister Mr.Milinda Morogoda Tuesday flew to Jaffna to hold crucial discussions regarding the dispute that has arisen between the hierarchy of the Sri Lanka Army and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on the question of resettling displaced families in villages of the high security zone (HSZ), sources said. The Sri Lanka government delegation comprised Defense Ministry Secretary Mr. Austin Fernando, the Commander the SLA Lionel Balagalle, the Commander of the Sri Lanka Air Force, Major General Shantha Kottegoda and Jaffna Area Commander Major General Sarath Fonseka. The team first inspected various sites in the high security zones in the peninsula and later held discussions at the Palaly Headquarters, sources said. Tuesday evening the team is scheduled to meet the Bishop of Jaffna Rt.Rev Thomas Soundaranayagam in Bishop's House and later Minister T.Maheswaran at his residence, sources said. Meanwhile Mr.Ali Zahir Moulana, former parliamentarian and presently a special advisor to Policy Planning and Implementation Ministry headed by the Prime Minister said both parties should work out a formula adopting give and take policy to find an amicable solution to the resettlement crisis in high security zone. He expressed hope that a solution would be found to this issue. He also pointed that the plight of displaced should be given top consideration when finding a solution to the resettlement issue. "The parties concerned to the conflict should treat the subject of resettling displaced more humanely,"Mr.Ali Zahir Moulana addressing a meeting at Kokkadichcholai in eastern province Monday. Earlier, LTTE's chief negotiator, Mr. Balasingham, said that Detailed discussion on core issues cannot be undertaken when hundreds of thousands of Tamil people remain unable to return to their homes, adding that the resettlement and rehabilitation of the displaced [people] are the urgent cardinal issue of the day.

Hello, Is it alright to sell an item on two separate photography websites, or should it just be one at a time. Just thinking that it help to move an item faster. Thanks.
If you mentionned it on both site, then it s ok. If you don t mention it, it could be disapointing for a buyer. This is a very personnal point of view, like if i was a buyer. All the best Rom
I tend to post classifieds on 2-3 forum sites at a time but always try to make sure to delete the ad or update it across all when items are sold. Especially if I have more than one item. I see this from other sellers as well. One thing I don't do is price them differently on different sites.
You have no obligation to limit yourself to advertizing on one site only, nor do you need to disclose that you are advertizing in more that one place or that you have already sold an item. Though it would be a nice extra touch if you do let people know when an item sells, it is really not necessary. Think of it as being like advertizing in the newspaper. Put as many ads as you want wherever you want as often as you want.
The only issue I can see is when you're legally obliged to sell on one website, like eBay. If you list an item on eBay and then sold it here, for instance, you could be in trouble with eBay. As far as forums-only though, as others have said, the more the merrier. It's just polite to cancel the other listings when it sells, and keeps you from getting emails about a sold item.
With regard to ebay, you can end a listing without restriction if the listing has more than 12 hours left. If there are less than 12 hour there are some restrictions to cancelling. Thus, if you list on ebay and then sell the item somewhere else you can cancel your listing without restriction, as long as there are still 12 hours or more left in the listing. If there are less than 12 hours then other rules apply.

My plan was to finish a full series on Oracle tools for Basic Statistics, before moving on to typical "blog-like" postings - but I realize I'll need at least another month (or two) to get to topics like ANOVA and Multiple Regression. I feel compelled to get a basic feel for a technique/concept before writing up examples of the functions here (which anybody can quickly get from the Oracle SQL Reference Manual).
So I am (reluctantly) breaking my rule to sneak in this note about a talk I gave in Nov '07 at the Worcester Polytechnic '07 Colloqium Series - before it loses its relevance. The talk provides the motivation for in-database mining, and the presentation slides offer a good intro to Oracle Data Mining in the 11gR1 Database release.
Oracle has touted the benefits of in-database mining for over 4 years now, with steady improvements to the product and an expanding customer base. The recent announcement from market leader SAS on integration with Teradata is a nice vindication of this approach. Details of the integration, whether this engineering effort pans out, and how the market receives the integrated product remains to be seen - but this is good for the industry. SAS still owns the bully pulpit in Analytics, and this move can hopefully lead to greater awareness of the benefits of this approach, and consolidation in this space. Marcos has promised to write about these developments from his perspective as a scientist/developer - so I will hold off my thoughts in anticipation of that post.
Impressions on WPI - good school with active AI and Database research groups. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Ruiz and Prof. Heffernan from the AI research group - they have some interesting projects there, and Prof. Rundentstein and Prof. Mani from the database research group. Check these programs out if you are an aspiring CS student.

text: U.S. News Maine: State Weighs HIV Testing Policy ChangeDecember 29, 2006 The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (MCDC) wants to make HIV testing routine in order to make it more accessible to some one-third of residents who are HIV-infected but do not know it. However, any changes in HIV testing policies must first pass the state Legislature. Currently, HIV screening must be specifically requested by patients, or by doctors who detect symptoms of the disease, said Mark Griswold, MCDC's epidemiologist for the HIV, STD and viral hepatitis program. In Maine, HIV is most frequently acquired through unprotected sex and intravenous drug use. MCDC can only recommend an HIV testing policy change. It is working with the Maine HIV Advisory Committee, lawmakers and the state Medical Association to draft a bill allowing verbal instead of written consent for HIV testing and simplified counseling. HIV testing is the only medical test in Maine requiring written consent, pre- and post-test counseling. Streamlined screening could help people take precautions against onward transmission and get linked to care earlier, said Griswold. It is less costly to treat someone with HIV than AIDS, said Griswold. But 40-45 percent of new HIV diagnoses in Maine are made within a year of the patient progressing to AIDS. Times Record (Brunswick) 12.27.2006; Michael Reagan This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network.

Waukesha - A 132-unit apartment project by Bielinski Homes in River's Crossing on Waukesha's southwest side has been placed on hold so planners' concerns can be addressed.
City Planner Michael Hoeft said Thursday the developer decided not to bring it before Wednesday's plan commission meeting as originally scheduled after staff raised questions about the 11-building layout and storm water management. Regulations for storm water management have gotten more strict since Bielinski first had approval of a more densely developed apartment project in 1998.
Planners also encouraged Bielinski representative Dan Szczap to discuss the proposal in a neighborhood meeting, Hoeft said.

El Gaucho
2505 1st Ave., Seattle, WA 98121
Seattle's original El Gaucho was a circa-1950's tavern/restaurant that lasted into the mid-80's. Current owner Paul Mackay revived the brand in 1996, nurturing it into a legendary—and theatrical—steakhouse. El Gaucho channels a decidedly old-school vibe: waiters wear tuxedoes, women are escorted to the ladies' room, and a pianist performs live each night. Food prep here is a spectator sport, complete with flaming swords and desserts. Twenty-eight-day, dry-aged Prime Angus steaks, as well as ribs, pork, poultry, and seafood, are prepared over an open charcoal grill, the main focal point of the restaurant.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida returned a record $211 million in unclaimed cash and property to rightful owners during the last budget year.
State Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater made that announcement Thursday.
But his Bureau of Unclaimed Property still holds $1 billion in property and cash that hasn't yet been claimed.
It's mostly cash from dormant accounts at banks, insurance companies and utilities as well as securities and trust holdings and the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes.
That's often watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps and historical items.
The bureau has returned $1.9 billion since the program began 50 years ago.
Floridians can find out if they have unclaimed property by calling 1-888-258-2253 or visiting the bureau's website: www.FLTreasureHunt.org.

text: "As you will see in the video above, the more fortified Ikhwan side was using leftovers from construction sites to create shields behind which they would advance. In that particular confrontation, they were more organized and strategic, but not more courageous than the folks who were on the other side, and usually locals to Heliopolis. One has to also account for the support the other side received from the police, though any such reports must be confirmed on a case by case bases, given the instances I witnessed in which not all policemen were sympathetic to the Ikhwan. At some level, it boiled down to personal preference and location of officers, though the tilt was certainly not towards the opposition when it really mattered."

Giguere says he wants to stay ... and be No. 1
NEWARK, N.J. - Fully aware of the uproar created from his outspoken frustration about his backup status, Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere said he does not want a trade and only wants a chance to win back his starting job.
"I want to be part of this team," Giguere said Wednesday. "I want to be a No. 1 here in Anaheim. This is the team I've been playing for the last 10 years. I absolutely love playing here. I think this team has great potential. I want to be here."
Giguere said he was being sarcastic about calling it a career Monday when he told the Los Angeles Daily News that he'd rather retire than back up Jonas Hiller if he cannot regain the starting job.
However, the 32-year-old veteran said he stood behind his willingness to speak out about the job that he held for the most part since the second half of the 2000-01 season until last March.
"I don't regret what I said but it didn't come out exactly how I wanted," Giguere said. "I just wanted to say I'm not done. I want to compete. I don't want to be written off. I'm still here and I wanted to battle and have fun."
Amid speculation the Ducks are trying to move him and rid themselves of the $11 million-plus they still owe the goalie through next season, Giguere said his comments weren't meant to force General Manager Bob Murray's hand.
In other words, this isn't a Dany Heatley-type situation where he's making it public he wants out.
"What I really mean by that is I'm not having fun not playing," Giguere said. "But I'm not going to just stay on the bench and collect my money and say, 'It's OK. It's no big deal.'
"I'm all set. I don't need to make any more money and stuff like that. That's just not in my nature. I'm competitive. I want to play."
Giguere returned to the active roster after missing the past six games because of a strained groin muscle he aggravated Oct. 24 against Columbus. But Hiller got the start against New Jersey, his seventh consecutive and 10th in 11 games.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle would only say that Giguere will see action at some point on the four-game, six-day trip which includes games against Columbus and Detroit on back-to-back nights.
"This is his first or second day back from his injury," Carlyle said. "He knows that he'll get an opportunity. ... It's all about giving us a chance to win. Whoever we feel is going to give us that best chance, that's who is going to play."
Koivu hurt
Center Saku Koivu missed his first game of the season because of a lower-body injury. Koivu came up lame during the morning skate but went through the warmup before deciding he wasn't right.
"He tried to go," Carlyle said. "He had a tweak here this morning which surprised me. I thought he was fine. Come game time, he couldn't go."
When asked if the injury was minor, Koivu said "I hope so."
Erik Christensen got his first action since Oct. 26 when he took Koivu's spot on the second line.
Christensen was put on waivers Nov. 2 but went unclaimed and the Ducks are hesitant to send him to the minors because he's on a one-way NHL deal and can be exposed to re-entry waivers if the team recalled him.
Devils also ailing
The Ducks didn't have Koivu, but New Jersey was far more banged up as it didn't dress several regulars, including former Ducks winger Rob Niedermayer and top defensemen Paul Martin and Johnny Oduya.
The decimated lineup didn't keep the Devils from jumping out to lead just 38 seconds in when Jamie Langenbrunner deflected Andy Greene's point shot.

Barnes & Noble said that it sold 6.1 million Class B shares of the video game chain back to the company for about $111.5 million. Barnes & Noble plans to distribute the remaining 59 percent stake, or 30 million shares, to its shareholders as a dividend. Barnes & Noble, which is based in New York, cut its full-year profit forecast because of the divesture of Game-Stop, which contributed more than half of its net income in the second quarter. Barnes & Noble received $37.5 million in cash and a three-year promissory note for $74 million from GameStop.

summary | The 20th century Spanish sound history has been preserved in digital format and can now be consulted online through intranet. This is a pioneer project in the broadcasting industry around the world finished in December 2002. The Radio Nacional de España (RNE) sound archive has been massively digitized and several applications to access this information online have been developed. This archive is considered the most important audio archive in Spanish language in the world. Special innovation has been used in four areas: the development of a complex system designed for the supervision of the project defined workflow, the creation of a solution for the massive and automatic importation of the contents in CD format, the definition of an algorithm that maximizes the documental information to be inserted in the metadata file of the documental typology and the usage of information technology longitudinal tape to store the content. Successful team work was implemented by RNE sound archivists, documentalists, audio engineers and IT professionals; IBM Global Services consultants, digitization operators and systems engineers; IBM product managers and sales representatives. |

It's synch or swim for Britain's most talked-about young Olympian Tom Daley and his veteran partner Pete Waterfield this afternoon. The hope is their harmonious togetherness will make a big splash (or rather not too much of one) in the state-of-the art Aquatic Centre where the facilities for swimming and diving are some distance from London's first Games in 1908.
Those had a large water tank constructed in the middle of the Olympic Stadium at White City. All very basic – although there was an intriguingly hi-tech touch to the diving.
At one side of the pool, a large retractable diving tower was constructed, and when not in use it was lowered below the surface of the water. It could be raised in a few minutes when required and caused great entertainment for the crowd, much as the giant chimney stacks did on Friday in the 2012 opening ceremony's Industrial Revolution sequence.
No synchronised event in 1908, just men-only individual high diving off five metre and 10-metre platforms and what was labelled Fancy Diving off three and one-metre springboards with contestants judged by their grace and control rather than technical elements. High divers performed a running plain dive and a backward somersault off the five-metre board, a running plain dive and a standing plain dive from the 10-metre board, and three dives of the competitor's choice.
One of the British high divers, G F Cane, was so seriously shaken when he bellyflopped into the water attempting a double somersault he was bedridden for 10 days. He was in medal contention and Swedish rivals sportingly presented him with a silver cup.
Tom and Pete will be seeking more than a consolation prize when battling the Chinese today; one omen is that in 1908 one of the individual gold medallists, German Albery Zumar, was like Daley, just 18. Fancy that.
