OK, guys, good luck this weekend! I'll try to follow you for updates, but please post afterwards!
Hi All:
I've been absent for awhile. Since my mid-Sept OLY, I have done very little biking and running, well...no running. My hip issue has finally gotten to the point where I am forced to deal with it. I am now in serious, and painful, PT and it is making a difference. At least I know what is going on. Basically my right Glute is not working. All the work is being done by my quad and psoas muscle and they are sick and tired of the demands.
It is amazing how a simple rocking motion while trying to engage my glute clearly shows it not working and all work transferred to my quad and psoas.
As a life change, I am leaving Bend, OR for the winter to work at Crater Lake as an interp. ranger on snow shoe hikes. I will be living on site for free. The housing situation in Bend has forced me out.
On Mar. 1 I return to Bend to share a house with two other fellow triathletes. My 2016 season is supposed to start with a half-marathon in April. We will see how it goes.
But, the winter will be on treadmill and indoor trainer.
Maybe a few road runs if I come down from the Lake (7,000+ feet in elev.)
Be well, All!
It's going to be hot humid non wet suit legal race! Plenty of salt for me! Good luck to all!
Hope all is going well! I saw that Charlie is on the run, can't find Marty or Philip...keep going guys!
I ended up 3rd in AG. I now Marty DNF- Not sure about Philip.
Swim was tough getting out with large breakers. Not much chop though. Bike was humid but cloudy. Run humid. More later.
I ended up 12:34 happy with that, it was hot and humid but much better than today.
Great job Charliew
Awesome job, guys, nicely done! I can't even dream of being that fast!
Congratulations, you are an Ironman!
Hey everybody, hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Anyone stopping in at the pub anymore? (When did they change the format of the forum?)
I'm debating registering for IM Louisville (October 2016) which is still open. I have a long ways to go to get back into Ironman shape, but I'm thinking that maybe shelling out the money will give me good reason to get into training for real. What do you all think?
Also just found out we'll be moving to Pensacola, FL next summer, so I will have an ocean to swim in and heat to train in, so that should be less of a factor. We'll also be convenient and both DH and I will volunteer at IM-FL next year, so we'll see you then, right?
Hey DK: Your note reminded me that I have not been in the pub for awhile. "Knowing" you, you will do the IM and do well! Congrats? on your relocation to warmer climes.
Well settled into Crater Lake here. It is snowing, duh, and we should have 1.5 feet of new snow by Sat. Dreadmill and bike trainer sessions are going well and my hip is responding well to my assigned exercises. I am feeling pretty good about next year if this progress continues. I am also swapping out my crank arms from 172 down to 165's. I hope that helps to open up my hips while in aero.
Be well, everyone, and if you are in the area, stop by for a snow shoe! :-)
DK, congrats I think you will love it in Fl! You will do great if you sign up!
I've "looked in" but not to much activity. I'll be at IMFL (already signed up) unless disaster occurs. Currently involved in a Y swim program (Swim the Seven Seas) to get more swimming. Make a goal (Mine was 35 miles/8 weeks) and try to reach. Looks like I'll have 50+ (LOL). Also the USAT Triclub competition (a 3 month deal with prizes grouped by size). Our club is currently 2nd in Group 3. Pretty good!. It'll be a busy 3 months!
Photo- Glad hip is responding!
DK- I've done Louisville twice. Technical bike (lots of turns) with one big hill. Flat run, great finish. Pretty good course.
Charlie's: How many IM's have you done?
I was think about Arizona in 17, daughter is getting married in Sep so that's my IM budget! Thinking about Hilton Head HIM this year
I think I'm going to go for it. If I do IM Louisville in 2016, then DH can do Florida in 2017. That leaves a training start of March 13th. Swimming won't be ideal until June, but I should be able to get in some time in the spring. Right now I'm just looking forward to hunting season ending (Jan 2) so I can get back onto my running trails.
DK, if you guys wanted some OW swimming we will ever back in around Late Apr or early May would be glad to swim with you if y'all wanted to come over for the day! The 1st pier to pier race 1.8 ocean race is early mid May
We'll be there! I've got a kid in my youth group who is looking forward to that swim. I know he'll beat me by a mile, but it should be fun.
The kids swam at Topsail Beach at Thanksgiving...the water was cool, but really pretty comfortable. What a gorgeous fall we've had, in between rain storms.
I'm registered for Louisville...let the Ironman nerves begin!
DK: Great can't wait to watch your training
DK- I've finished 22 Iron-distance races. Not all have been M-dot ones (eg- The Great Floridian). Nervous yet? You'll do fine. I suggest you drive the bike course before the race. When I did Louisville for the first time I did- big help. I had never thought about hunters and trail running- safe idea!
Photo- Weather forecasts have many storms coming to NW- be prepared!
Interesting riding outside the past few days. Warm enough (50F), but sun very low on the horizon. Shadows are very different. Also almost no warmth to sunlight at all.
Be safe all.
Hey guys and gals If you have not hey guys and gals heard BTB was bought out by WTC and will become IM BTB! Mixed feelings about it but think it will be a better race! Swim was short 3800 and bike short 108 I would guess they will correct that!
I wonder if they'll cover the bridges and railroad tracks? I suspect they will pretty much double the price, so would expect a bit more than better measuring and better MCing. (And was it really that much shorter? Makes my time look a bit better compared to DH's).
The 1st bridge is very bad!!!!! Yes it was short!
Is everyone else having problems with the forum? Most of the times I come to Runners World, none of the links work, and I can't get into any of them.
We're heading out to Iceland and England tomorrow for the holidays. Have a very Merry Christmas, everybody, and I'll talk to you next year...when I will be getting back in shape. January will be a big month!
~ Danielle
DK- Enjoy your travels! Links seemed to work OK. Appears I need to sign in each time I want to reply- not good! Need to check it though.
I could get in this morning, but last night right after you posted, nothing was working (triathlon or any of the other forums). Oh well.
Safe and happy holidays, everyone!
Morning all, From Crater Lake National Park.
Re: all the comments about the runnersworld web site. It feels like a Wordpress theme to me and feels very out of date.
anyway, snowing like crazy here at 7,100 feet. We have over 7 feet on the ground and the snow is still falling. Average winter sees 44 feet here.
Running is on the dreadmill and biking is on the trainer.
Merry Christmas All!
Easy on the eggnog.
DK: Safe travels and enjoy!
Merry Christmas all
Happy New Year, everybody! Hope you all had a good Christmas!
We're back from Europe, safe and sound, but probably 10 pounds heavier. Here's to a good-training, race-weight-making, safe and fun triathlon and Ironman-filled 2016!
Happy New Year all!
Hi, all! I don't have anything particularly exciting to report, but I figured the Pub must be getting a little dusty and musty, so I thought I'd drop by.
I've been running a lot, and my mileage is creeping up and my weight is creeping down. Getting close to DH getting home from Iraq, and to the start of my 30-week IM training plan. Hope the rest of you are doing well!
Been busy the past few months with USAT Challenge Competition for Triteams. Team has been doing pretty well (top 3) so far in our division (#3). Getting a good start on biking and running- never had a problem swimming. Never added the usual 3-5 lbs during the Holidays.
Must be happy about DH! We were about our son when he returned.
I was actually wondering who would be the first to post! YOU WON!
Hey DK: Thnx for kick starting us for the new season. My time at Crater is winding down. I am back in Bend full time next week. I came up for a few days this week to ride with my friends. Going to be mid 60's tomorrow.
First Tri is May 7. Time to get back in gear. Been dreadmill and trainer all winter, for 3 months, I need to get outside.
In full Boston training mode with several aches but doing okay, still biking and swimming 1-2 days but running a lot.
DK: Thanks for the kick start, you still coming over for the pier to pier swim?
BOSN -- I was planning on it, but I can't make it on May 21st. Drats.
I do need to get started swimming, though. Still trying to figure out the best options. I may need to get brave enough to join a Masters Club.
Well, I guess I am becoming more of a triathlete. I just bought a DMC TM02 Tri Bike. First race is May 7. If my hip recovers as I hope it will now that I am not racing on my road bike, which was the cause) I'll plan on a 70.3. Prior to purchase I went thru an official bike fit for 3 hours. And, the BMC came out on top of the list.
Photo: Great bike! Which 70.3 are you doing
BOS: Excellent question. I have no idea. Still need to be patient and see how my hip responds this year. So far, doing a couple of short races, including the Age Group National Duathlon, which is being held in Bend this summer.
Big weekend 18 miles then Tri Camp with Matt Dixson
BOS: Heading to Tucson Monday for TRI camp there! We will be biking up Mt. Lemmon. Google that to see what I am in for. :-)

In this short video, Dr. Karen Becker shares the very effective method she uses to get rid of skunk smell on pets.
Today I want to give you my skunk rinse recipe, and here's hoping you never have to use it!
If, heaven forbid, your dog or cat is ever sprayed by a skunk, you should have this recipe on hand. The sooner you apply the solution to your pet's fur, the sooner he'll get relief and smell better.
Tomato juice isn't nearly as effective as this recipe, and it's easy to follow.
In a pail mix:
If you have a large breed dog, you may need to double, triple or even quadruple the mixture.
Wear dishwashing or other household gloves if you like during the whole de-skunking process.
Don't wet down your pet. Apply the mixture to your pet's dry coat from the collar back toward the tail. Don't pour it near the eyes because the hydrogen peroxide solution can burn them.
Lather the mixture into your pet's coat and skin. Rub the solution around for about five minutes or until the skunk smell starts to dissipate.
If the front of your pet is as stinky as the back, use a sponge to apply the solution to your pet's chin, cheeks, forehead and ears, being very careful not to go near the eyes. When you rinse the head area, tilt your pet's chin upward so the solution does not run down into the eyes, instead allow the water to run back off his neck.
Do a complete rinse once the smell starts to decrease, then repeat the entire process again.
You may need to repeat the lather and rinse process up to three times, but it's a very effective method for removing the skunk smell from your pet.
Make sure to completely rinse the solution off your pet. Your final rinse should be very thorough.
You can't prepare this solution ahead of time and store it – it won't be effective when you need it. It must be made fresh, right before you apply it to your pet. So it pays to make sure you have all the ingredients ahead of time!
Good luck … and I hope you never have to use my skunk rinse recipe!

Hello all, I know weight is something alot of Americans struggle with so I wanted to share my personal story of how I lost 50 pounds.
I'm 21 years old and always been a rather large person so I always expected to weigh more than my friends built like birds. I am also 6 feet tall and I expect to weigh more than shorter guys. I have always seemed to have hollow legs, just never can seem to get full and stay full for long but I really didn't think for my level of activity and size I ate alot more than other people.
This past February I went to the doctor for a routine checkup. At that time I believe I weighed about 262, and I had a bit of a gut and I didn't feel I was that overweight but the numbers 262 made me sick to think about. I asked for some bloodwork and to check anything that could be checked that would cause me to be overweight. Doc agreed to do the bloodwork for me and check all that he could (which eventually came back to be pretty well fine). In the meantime he gave me a new suggestion for a diet, he said that the only true way to reduce your true weight is to cut your daily calories.
This was the way he explained it, there are 3500 calories in a pound of fat (weight), the ideal way to lose weight is to cut your daily calories by 500 a day (500X7= 3500 or lose a pound a week). The way it works is when you eat you consume calories that are used as energy, daily activities and exercise burn the calories off. If you consume more than you burn your body will store the energy (fat) if you burn more than you store then your body can use the previously stored energy causing you to lose weight.
I sincerely had my doubts because no other diet had worked for me before but I agreed to try it and if that didn't work he would refer me to a nutritionalist. He knew about what my daily calorie intake each day would be in order to maintain so I needed to try and have about 500 less than that each day to lose. He also suggested I buy the book Calorie King. It has mostly everything you can buy and fast food restaurants calorie info which would help you pick your meals. Rather than buy the book I found there was an app available for the iPhone by the same people called Calorie King and I decided to buy that because it would be more practical.
Over the next few days I realized that what I ate on a day to day basis had me well over my daily intake just to maintain so I began to think "ok, it makes since and this might work". At first I cut back portions some but as I said I like to eat and just couldn't do that much. So I found some lower calorie substitutes.
Over the next weeks and months I steadily lost weight at a little over a pound a week. I believe that to be because I have a higher activity level than we had guessed when calculating my daily intake but its better to guess lower than higher.
I started this around the beginning of February so I have been working on this about 10 months but I am now 50 pounds lighter than I was (262- 212)
Here is my advice:
Sometimes you just have to fudge. Holidays, birthdays, going to friends, and parties. Some days I just don't fool with it.
For breakfast I eat some Special K or Smart Ones microwavable sausage and biscuit things. They have about 200-300 calories each.
For lunch if I am at home I have some Healthy Choice meals that have about 300-400 calories each.
Supper is often my downfall, it is usually whatever the cook would like to cook so I don't complain but I try to look whatever it is up in my Calorie King app and go with that.
There are alot of 100 calorie snack packs that are pretty good.
All of these packaged foods I have mentioned can be bought at Wal-Mart or your local grocery store, nothing you will have to go out of town to find.
Alcohol.....well I like to drink beer and beers are pretty well full of calories and hard to just drink 2 or 3. The best tasting low calorie beer I know of is Michelob Ultra (95 calories), it prefer something with a little higher alcohol content but they'll do.
Soft drinks are killer most 12 oz cans have 140-170. I try to just drink 12 oz cans and only have 1 a day (I love my Sun-Drops lol)
On eating out, again sometimes you have to fudge but if your like me and for whatever reason have to eat out alot (work and college) there are lower calorie options. McDonald's and Burger King have grilled chicken sandwiches and snack wraps. They are pretty good but I am a big fan of McDonalds salads. You can get some with grill chicken around 300 calories plus dressing (I use viengarette or something that's like 50 calories a packet.
Here is a link to a calorie calculator where you can plug in your information and see what your daily needs to maintain and lose are Calorie Calculator - Daily Caloric Needs
That's pretty much my story and advice so feel free to ask questions.

For PAGS:
The manual for your router can be accessed here:
If you go to page 15 of that PDF it will give you the access restrictions instructions. Basically, what you need to do is find the MAC address of the device you want to limit (her iPod - Click Settings/General/About It's shown as the Wi-Fi Address. It should be in the format of xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx)
Create an access policy of the times you want to allow that device to access the internet, and apply it to that mac address only. Feel free to ask questions regarding the manual if it sounds like greek.

Updating X-E1 firmware without a card reader
Nov 21, 2012
Stumbled into an interesting issue. Although I import all my photos, etc via USB, the only way to install firmware seems to be to put the SD card into my computer's card reader and copy it across.
It seems like I should be able to just copy the firmware file onto the camera, as when I plug it in via USB I can freely browse the camera's SD card. It just seems I can't write to it from the computer.
Anyone know if this can be circumvented and I be able to copy a file onto the camera reader than merely read from it? Otherwise I guess I'll just have to go get one of those antiquated SD card reader thingies.

The Chiefland baseball team proved itself a plucky bunch this season with its collection of comeback wins and its youthful competitive fight.
In the District 1A-7 semifinal round last Tuesday, the Indians, who returned just one starter from last year's state finalist and district champion club, once again weren't in the mood to go away quietly against a more experienced team.
Chiefland police officer Tyler Brown and Sgt. James Yanok arrested 37-year-old Herman Phineas Williams Jr., of Old Town, on two felony charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Two females, Vanessa L. Simpson, 19, of Old Town, and Goldie Edwards (no other information given), were released at the scene.

About 40 people gathered around the flagpole at Chiefland City Hall May 4 on the National Day of Prayer. The faithful prayed for local, state and federal government leaders, the military and first responders and a return to social godliness.
BRONSON – City officials came together for a Town Hall meeting May 1, but a notable official was absent amid a salary dispute.
Bob Niffenegger, town of Bronson building official, requested a contract renewal, seeking a pay raise and the ability to hire an employee assistant. When the council denied a similar request in 2016, Niffenegger submitted a letter of resignation.
For Kim Burkett at Fernwood Flowers and Gifts Inc., her flowers are her babies.
"I want them to be right," Burkett said, who owns the shop with her 86-year-old mother, Jennie Adams. "We are very particular about our flowers. We only do fresh. We do not send anything out that we wouldn't send to our own family. We process our flowers when they come in and when they go out."
"Holidays aren't as busy as they used to be because there is such a multiplicity of things a person can buy and do," said Eddie Hatch, owner of Silk Sunshine Florals. "You have a bunch of choices of what you can do now and you can't do them all; you're going to buy them a diamond, give them flowers, take them out to eat. All of this is possible, but Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and holidays are always a little bit busier because of family. Family and flowers kind of go together."
A group of area residents continue to hold differing views from city officials on the quality of the Chiefland City dog pound.
City Manager Mary Ellzey and City Commissioner Teresa Barron discussed the possibility of leasing an industrial property if an organization steps forward to run a new dog facility. Barron recommends that residents create a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Chiefland's dogs.
The Wild Hog Canoe Race has seen monumental gains in popularity and fundraising over the past few years since coming under new leadership.
The grueling 15-mile canoe and kayak race down the Waccasassa River celebrated its 40th anniversary this year on April 22, and it was the biggest version yet.
On Monday in Otter Creek, WHCR president Keith Maynard presented a $21,000 check to Betty Walker, the executive director of the LARC, which receives all of the proceeds from the race.
No matter how you like your blueberry fun, the Town of Bronson has you covered.
It's hosting its Third Annual Bronson Blueberry Festival Saturday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at James H. Cobb Park.
In addition to an endless supply of blueberries from local growers, vendors will be selling crafts and goods, and festival food will be available.
The family-friendly event will also include a kids area with crafts and activities. Entertainment will also be provided at the festival.

It's an event that draws hordes to Washington, D.C., every year—and not just for a glimpse of those beautiful pink blooms. The blossoming of the cherry trees releases a delicate fragrance that may as well be a metaphor for spring. This sparkling scent from Harvey Prince perfectly captures that so-happy-I-could-skip feeling, and you don't have to wait until the snow melts to get your hands on it.
First of all, I absolutely love this perfume and I bought the rollerball bottle for my trip. The only negative is tha the perfume leaked from the rollerball! I lost a good amount of perfume which makes me sad! It stinks that I have to leave it at home sitting upright all of the time instead of having it in my purse when I'm on the go. The rollerball design is the only reason I gave this a 3 star, if I didn't have this problem, 5 stars all the way!3

Suspect in New Mexico Middle School Shooting is 12 Years Old
The suspect in a shooting at a New Mexico middle school is only 12 years old.
One boy was critically wounded and a girl is in serious condition after the shooting today in Roswell, New Mexico. Officials say a 12-year-old boy pulled a shotgun from a band-instrument case and opened fire.
Gov. Susan Martinez says a staffer walked up to the boy and asked him to put the weapon down. The shooting happened at Berrendo Middle School.
State Police Chief Pete Kassetas says a staff member at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell is credited with stopping the young shooting suspect before more people were hurt.
"He entered the school and went toward the gymnasium where he was told that there was an individual with a weapon and he was firing that weapon. By the time we got there, the weapon which we believe was a shotgun, was laid on the ground," Kassetas explained.
Two students and another staff member were hurt. The injured students are in critical condition. They were taken to a Texas hospital for treatment.

Cargo Bikes Taking Over Where Ice Cream Trucks Left Off
January 26th, 2013 by James Ayre
With a strong bicycle culture starting to emerge around the world, bikes are starting to replace other vehicles for a wide variety of purposes. You can now count ice cream trucks among those. Cargo bikes are the perfect fit for this kind of mobile, small-scale business.
In all likelihood, switching from a gas-powered vehicle to a bike cuts down on costs greatly, while allowing easy access to many areas that larger vehicles simply can't get to.
Of course, freight bikes are nothing new — before automobiles became the dominant mode of transport in much of the world, many services were provided via bike. Postal service, milk delivery, bread delivery, and fresh meat delivery, being some of the most common.
While they largely fell out of use in the United States, they remained some degree of use in some parts of Europe and elsewhere. And during the last decade or so, they have been experiencing something of a resurgence in use in many parts of the world, as ecologically minded businesses, and those looking to cut down on their costs, have become interested in them.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard of the UAB baseball team has been named to the 2014 National Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List, the College Baseball Hall of Fame announced on Friday. Mallard is one of 47 pitchers to be named to the list.
The National Pitcher of the Year Award is given annually to the nation's top collegiate pitcher. Current Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg won the inaugural award in 2009.
Mallard is off to one of the best seasons in UAB baseball history. The Cullman, Ala. native owns a 6-1 record with a 1.11 ERA in 10 starts in 2014. He has a current streak of 12 consecutive quality starts, which is the longest streak in the country. Mallard, who has been named Conference USA Pitcher of the Week three times this season, ranks in the top 30 nationally in five individual pitching categories and leads the conference in opponent batting average (.164).
A 2014 Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week honoree, Mallard is leaving his marks on the UAB baseball record book, as well. The senior right-handed pitcher owns the best career ERA (2.74) and ranks fourth in career strikeouts (183). In addition, he has appeared in 68 games in his collegiate career, which ranks seventh in program history.
Mallard and the UAB baseball team are back in action on Friday night against Marshall. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. at Regions Field.

National leader Don Brash has revealed that the leaders of United Future, Act and the Maori Party were with him when he drafted and signed a letter to New Zealand First leader Winston Peters claiming he had 57 votes.
The question of whether Dr Brash had such support or not is important because it is what Prime Minister Helen Clark and Mr Peters cited as being behind the eventual outcome of Government arrangements.
The votes of National, the Maori Party, United Future and Act total 57.
United Future leader Peter Dunne denied he pledged support to National.
Two days after the meeting he and Mr Peters accepted ministerial posts outside the Labour Cabinet.
Tariana Turia also distanced herself from Dr Brash's claims he had 57 votes, and denied that the Maori Party had guaranteed support.
The letter, written last Friday, says that they were "willing and able" to enter discussions with New Zealand First about a National-led Government.
While Helen Clark called National's claim of having 57 votes "bluster and bravado", she said on Monday that the prospect of a 57 to Labour, 57 to National split with New Zealand First abstaining had been the driver behind getting New Zealand First and United Future to support the Government.
Dr Brash rejected a suggestion his claim of 57 votes had been wishful thinking.
"Absolutely not. I signed that letter in the company of the leaders of all the political parties representing 57 members of Parliament."
Asked if he felt Mr Dunne had been guilty of dirty dealing, Dr Brash said he would not use those words.
"He clearly came to the view that his party's interests were best served by being in some kind of relationship with Labour. And to be fair, he had said he was still in negotiation with Labour but he was willing to have that letter sent.
"I think until the very last minute, he didn't see himself being in a relationship with Labour."
Dr Brash also described the new arrangements for the Government as "very Mickey Mouse".
"I think the structure is inherently unstable."
The minority Labour-led Government is supported with confidence and supply agreements by Mr Dunne and Mr Peters. Generally speaking, they will be able to criticise the Government ministers but not the other way round.
Dr Brash did not believe Mr Peters, the new Foreign Minister, had the track record or social skills to foot it with international leaders.
"What does it do to New Zealand's foreign relations to have someone ... who has a track record of insulting many of the people in this region, who doesn't find it easy relating to the leaders of other countries?"
He would not expand on the claim.
Brash's offer
October 14, 2005
Dear Mr Peters
Following discussions this week with the Maori Party, United Future New Zealand and Act New Zealand I can advise that in the event that New Zealand First wishes to consider an alternative to supporting a Labour-led Government, there are parties representing 57 seats in Parliament willing and able to enter into discussions with New Zealand First to form a National-led Government.
I'd like to discuss with you the key policy platforms that would, with New Zealand First's involvement, form the basis of such a Government.
I therefore invite you to meet with me to discuss this proposal as soon as you consider appropriate. I look forward to your response.
Don Brash
National Party leader

Strange as it may seem X-treme the three member band led by Kosala
Kalubowila want to be "a wedding specialist band". But that doesn't mean
they do not play at other festive occasions.
"We do play at special functions, but weddings are our speciality",
says Kosala who has been performing since 1996 with X-treme. He is the
keyboardist and the other two members are vocalists Nishantha Wijesinghe
and Irosha Gamage.
"We have played for more than 1,000 shows and at a wedding we are
able to cater to everyone's needs with our set of selected songs. What's
more our sound is well suited for such occasions.
There has been a lot of criticism that bands playing at weddings have
a high volume range and as such the guests are unable to carry on a
conversation with each other which is frustrating.
So I thought we need to be different and I always ensure that the
sound level is just right not only to enjoy the music, but also for
guests to converse with one another. Our repertoire is wide. We sing in
three languages - Sinhala, English and Hindi", comments Kosala.
In your English repertoire what are your influences?
"My boys and I concentrate on love songs from the books of Englebert,
Elvis Presley, Toin Janes, Beatles, Pet Shop bays, Lionel Richie, Jim
Reeves etc. 'We sing Reggae, the likes of Jimmy Chiff and Maxi Priest
and country that of John Denver and the Bellamy Brothers. Of course our
Sinhala repertoire reflects most of the popular songs and the ever
popular baila."
Kosala during his early years at Mahanama College, Colombo was
interested in music and threw himself into every musical activity in
Thanks to his teacher Ostin Munasinghe, he was active in many
fund-raising projects, as an outstanding member of the Leo Club. Digital
Music became an attraction to him and he furthered his knowledge under
the guidance of Ranga Jayoda. Now he is happy that a number of young
singers seek his knowledge in composing songs for themselves.
"My heart fills with happiness to see and hear these youngsters
performing on various TV channels in Sri Lanka and gaining popularity.
In my thirteen years of music life apart from composing music for up
and coming singers I've also composed jingles and TV commercials. A
highlight in my music life was when I worked as the producer of "Dialog
Kit Challenge" for MTV. His aim is to help singers and bands to record
and release their CDs on low budget basis.

Erik was invited to weigh in at the end of NEXT season
I thought it was the next season??? I could be wrong though.Originally Posted by Broadway;3764736;
Rudy's children were not sitting with his wife when Danny came out. Could that mean she is in the back wings waiting to congratulate Rudy on a victory?
Danny's wife is still in the audience with the kids.
I can't get over how much younger Danny looks. Before he looked ten years older than his actual age (39), and now he could pass for a few years younger. His hair cut and color are much more flattering than the professionals on the show gave him during the makeover too.

Wow, 55.58% So it DID take 55% to win.
I will now go celebrate (vicariously) with a pastry that I brought home from my trip this weekend.

My local provider of package bees just called about a further delay in the arrival of his truck of package bees from Georgia. They were supposed to arrive on 4/17 but were postpone to 4/24 "due to bad weather." The phone message I just received indicated a further delay to May 5th. Is anyone else having such problems getting their new package bees?

My 6-year-old gets pains in her legs at bedtime that I think are growing pains. My mum says I also had them as a child. I give my daughter paracetamol, which seems to help. Is there anything else that can be done about growing pains? R.R.
Not much is really known about what causes growing pains except that they have nothing to go with actual growth spurts. Their more accurate name is benign idiopathic nocturnal limb pains of childhood, but that's too long, so we'll stick with growing pains.
In general, these are deeply aching pains in the thigh, shin, or calf that come on at bedtime, or even wake kids from sleep. They are not associated with anything bad, and go away by themselves as the child enters early adolescence.
They are common, affecting a third of all kids between 3 and 13, and often recur. Sometimes there is a known trigger, such as heavy exercise or social stress, but most cases seem to come and go as they please. Paracetamol is a common treatment, accompanied by massage, warm packs, cuddling and distraction.
From a doctor's point of view, the main features that separate growing pains from more serious conditions are that growing pains occur only at night, involve both legs, and don't cause joint pain.
They are not associated with factors such as fever or decreased appetite and are never the cause of a limp.
If any of these red flags occur, it's time to see a GP, who will consider things such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, osteomyelitis (bone infection), and leukemia, in addition to the more common causes of paediatric musculoskeletal aches and strains. But if it turns out to be just growing pains, the outcome is uniformly good and the symptoms fade away with time.

WASHINGTON >> The Supreme Court opened its new term with Justice Elena Kagan on the bench.
The high court turned down hundreds of appeals, including one by the founders of former telecommunications giant Adelphia Communications. It also refused to hear an appeal from John and Timothy Rigas, who wanted their fraud convictions overturned.
The Rigases were sent to prison after Adelphia collapsed in 2002, with prosecutors saying they used it like a personal piggy bank.
Inside the courtroom, Kagan is getting her first taste of Supreme Court arguments from behind the bench. She replaced Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired after more than 34 years. Three women now are serving on the nine-justice court. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor are the others.

Dear all,
I am looking into libJPEG and other libraries to do 8 by 8 pixel compression of images in a sort of tile by tiles fashion. However most of these software libraries do it by scanline and I really need the per tile both encoding and decoding in a reasonable quality and with high speed.
Anyone with experience in the area?
Creating an 8 by 8 image and encoding that (for each tile) seems a bit too cumbersome.

A week or so has turned into a month and a half. I am currently disputing the payment through Paypal to see what progress I can make from that angle. I have even found an instagram page devoted to warning people not to buy from these people on today. Hopefully, something can get resolved. If not, then lesson learned.

Mbalula must account for money spent on Mayweather visit: DA
The Democratic Alliance has accused Minister of Sports and Recreation Fikile Mbalula of possibly misleading Parliament about who footed the bill for a visit to the country in 2014 by former world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.
It said on Thursday that despite Mbalula's initial claims that the trip was not paid for by taxpayers' documents obtained by Netwerk24 through the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) revealed that Mbalula's department spent more than R475'950 on advertisements and marketing at a gala function during Mayweather's visit.
DA spokesman on sports and recreation Solly Malatsi said the party would approach the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation to summon Mbalula to Parliament to account for the expenditure.
He said the revelation was is in "stark contrast" to the minister's repeated pronouncements that no state money was spent on Mayweather's Reawakening of the Giant Tour of South Africa.
"It also flies in the face of claims by the department that the Mayweather visit was privately financed and organised and that the department was asked to participate in a bid to revive boxing in the country'" said Malatsi.
He added that Mbalula was even on record in a response to a DA parliamentary question declaring that "the Department did not spend money on Mr Mayweather or his visit to South Africa. In that regard' there is no money incurred by the department in respect of Mr Mayweather's attendance of the (i) Dube boxing event and (ii) gala dinner at Emperors Palace".

And despite the Scots only managing one victory in each of the last three Six Nations tournaments and providing only four Lions tourists this time around, Robinson is confident that there are good times ahead at Murrayfield.
"Being here for two years, I understood the vibrancy about Scottish rugby and the potential that's here," said Robinson, who joined Edinburgh in 2007 having been sacked by England the previous year.
"Over the last couple of years there have been some disappointing results, but some encouraging performances.
"On the whole, the guys involved in the Six Nations last year have been playing well and with a renewed vigour. Overall we're in a good state."
Scotland may only have beaten Italy in last year's Six Nations and Canada in the most-recent autumn internationals but Robinson has no doubt that there is potential for huge improvement.
The Scots ran Lions conquerors South Africa close 10 months ago and the A side were triumphant in this summer's Nations Cup.
"It gives you confidence and we're trying to breed this new mindset," added Robinson, who held the role of forwards coach on the 2001 Lions tour Down Under.
"The fact that the players are working hard during the week and earning that performance, that's what is coming out in the way the teams (Edinburgh and Glasgow) are playing.
"Edinburgh have the ability to win any game that they play, similar to Glasgow.
"We've also watched all the French games and it's been pleasing to see how our guys have been going down there. It's important that these guys are going to a foreign land and are performing well.
"The key for us is to find consistency in the way we play and start winning. That's how team spirit and confidence develops.
"There's a long way still to go but we're heading in the right direction."

Wall Street closed well off session lows Wednesday as investors weighed the government shutdown and a disappointing private-sector jobs report.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 0.4% after being down by as much as 1%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each dipped 0.1%. Preliminary data showed NYSE volume tracking a little less than Tuesday. Nasdaq volume also was lower.
In the stock market today, Tesla Motors (TSLA) slumped 6% after Robert W. Baird downgraded the luxury electric-car maker to neutral from outperform and Bloomberg reported that a Model S sedan caught fire Tuesday near Seattle after hitting an object in the road. The report, which cited an email from Tesla, said nobody was injured.
Tesla is now 4% above a 173.80 buy point of three-weeks-tight pattern.
Meanwhile, Fleetmatics Group (FLTX) plunged 8% in massive volume, falling further below its 50-day line. The Ireland-based developer of software to track fleet-vehicle locations, speed and fuel usage went public in October 2012. It appears headed for its fourth straight weekly decline.
On the upside, Wolverine Worldwide (WWW) climbed 2% in heavy volume. The maker of shoes for work and the outdoors is 2% off an all-time high as it works on a flat base with a 60.45 buy point.
The IPO market stayed hot as three more companies went public.
Burlington Stores (BURL) priced at $17, above its expected range of $14-$16. Shares opened at 23.05 and ended at 25.01. The off-price retailer operates the Burlington Coat Factory chain.
Re/Max Holdings (RMAX), a franchiser of residential real estate brokerages, priced at $22, above its expected range of $19-$21. It opened at 26.25 and closed at 27.
But it was an inauspicious debut for Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT). It priced at $13, at the low end of the range of $13-$15, and ended at 13.10. The company operates 18 commercial properties in midtown Manhattan and greater New York.
Constellation Brands (STZ) is among companies scheduled to report earnings Thursday.
Economic data due Thursday include initial jobless claims for the week of Sept. 28, factory orders for August and the ISM services index for September.

Hi everybody! Glad I found this forum, searching around for info on my new toy as I try and make it usable.
Just grabbed a pretty beat quantum wagon from a guy off craigslist. Don't know if he was a member or not, but apparently he was sitting on it for several years intending to fix it
Its an 87 Gl-5 with the 5-speed. The car has no rust, but it has suffered a little cosmetically, it has some damage to the left rear from a hit and run, and a little more damage on the front bumper, which looks pushed up, and finally a couple of door dents on either side. Left rear is pretty bad, I will post some pics tomorrow of the car when I finish grabbing it
Mechanically it seems to run just fine, it needs a muffler, an exhaust manifold or something to do with the exhaust up front, and there is a major problem with something on the right front, feels like the wheel is about to fall off.
I have several basic questions about this car-
First, how trustworthy is the GL-5 engine and this interesting quasi transaxle gearbox? are these engines and transmissions that generally last? It has about 130k on it.
second, I am buying this to replace my dying of rust 85 diesel jetta, and I was struck by the idea of moving the entire front end, transmission, drive axles, radiator, ect, over into this quantum eventually. Is this something thats been done on the forum? are there any threads where thats happened? The drivetrain from my jetta is extremely solid, and the engine bays look similar.
First I want to get it reliable rolling, but this idea is something id like to consider, as id like to keep my trusty 1.6.

While a typical 80s movie, Flashdance stands out for it's total 80s vibe.
The year was 1983 and MTV and the movies were breaking new style boundaries.
There is a scene in among all the dancing and drama, in which Jennifer's character and her best friend are dancing their way through the city life after work.
High as critics heap their scorn (Roger Ebert, who included the MTV-slick Cinderella flick on his all-time Most Hated list, was not alone in his loathing), they are no match for good old Hollywood magic.
Starring Jennifer Beals, then 18 and a freshman at Yale, as an exotic dancer with a dream.
Beals' character holds a day job as a welder in a Pittsburgh steel mill. Many of the dance routines were performed by a professional dancer.
It's mid afternoon and as they walk down a long back street, there's a lone break dancer with his piece of cardboard there in the middle of the deserted street shreddin' it up.
As the girls linger there a while several other dancer's show up and join the street dance.
It's really a cool 80s moment in the film, reminding me of cruising along Pacific Coast Highway through Laguna, California one afternoon in the mid 1980's.
As we creeped along the busy highway at a crawl, the ocean, beach and a multitude of break dancers clad in typical 80s fashion spun and flipped along with the breaking waves.

Sisterhood of Travelers in the Dominican Republic
... we didn't know anyone. A lot of people, including our parents, did not want us to go. We stayed in the city of La Romana. Within our 3 month stay, we met many friends like Lexie and Crystal.
We traveled all over the country. We did not have a car so we took public transportation. Public cars, which is a beat-up 1980 Toyota, Gua-Guas, which is a over-crowed beat up van, and motor bikes. All will cost you less than a dollar to travel. To be safe we did not ...
The Dominican Republic Experience

The last stop before exiting the DR was Isla Beta – a small island on the southwestern coast. We arrived with a few boats anchored out in the bay. We soon came to find out that they were all heading east and had been waiting over a week for a weather window. We met a nice French family from French ...

though, and I saw a lot more cows and Dominican cowboys than palm-fringed beaches

In the evening I met up with the former volunteer at the charity who now lives in the capital, and ...

This morning I worked on the volunteer documents including the application form, evaluation and I thought a code of conduct might be useful too. So I've drafted all of these up, (with the help of some hints from Dad) which we will go through as a group on Monday for them to change/improve as they wish.

Darth Vader has had a bad run in the press, but try seeing things from his perspective. Sure, he's done a lot of bad things, what with the blowing up of the planets and the crushing of the rebellion and the cutting off of his sons hand and all, but don't forget that he also kept a lot of citizens in jobs and kept the economy ticking over with two moon sized construction projects and a great dental plan.

UNH Field Hockey Eliminated From NCAAs by Buke
Related Links
Courtesy: UNH Athletic Communications
DURHAM, N.C. – Carlie Tarbell (Wakefield, Mass.) recorded 10 saves but the 16th-ranked University of New Hampshire field hockey team was defeated 6-1 by fifth-ranked Duke University in Saturday's NCAA first round game at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium.
UNH, which gained an NCAA auto berth as the America East tournament champion, saw its eight-game win streak end and completes the 2013 season at 15-7. Duke, which received an at-large invitation out of the ACC, improved to 15-6.
Tarbell made six of her 10 saves in the second half, when the Blue Devils recorded an 11-3 shot advantage; Hannah Richard (Hopkinton, N.H.) scored UNH's goal. Emmie Le Marchand led Duke's offense with three goals and an assist while Lauren Blazing was credited with two saves.
The home team – the tournament No. 4 seed – broke open a close game in the second half with goals in the 47th, 57th, 62nd and 66th minutes.
Duke generated the first scoring opportunity in the eighth minute when Heather Morris' shot from the left wing was stopped by Tarbell. It led directly to the only penalty corner of the first half, however. Tarbell once again denied Morris and Aileen Johnson's shot off the rebound was blocked by a UNH defender.
The Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead at 9:54 when Le Marchand attacked down the middle of the circle, shifted to the right around Tarbell in the middle of the circle and fired a shot inside the near post. It marked the first time UNH surrendered the game's first goal since Oct. 11 vs. University of Maine.
New Hampshire threatened to score in the 19th minute, when Richard fired a shot from the top left that Blazing stopped with a kick save. Melyssa Woods (Glens Falls, N.Y.) corralled the rebound in the middle of the circle and her shot attempt ricocheted off a Duke's defender stick high over the cage.
Duke extended the advantage to 2-0 at 25:48 when Morris swept a low shot from the top left inside the far post.
UNH began to gain momentum, however, and trimmed the deficit to 2-1 at 29:11. Meg Flatley (Townsend, Mass.) dribbled in from the top of the circle and, with her back to the cage, slipped a pass to the right and Richard snapped a one-timer inside the right side of the cage for her 14th goal of the season.
With four minutes remaining in the first half, Flatley advanced into the circle on the left side and shoveled a shot from close range wide of the near post. The 'Cats continued to pressure and Flatley struck another shot just wide.
Duke entered halftime with a 2-1 lead and 7-6 shot advantage. The Blue Devils regained momentum at the start of the second half and in the 40th minute, Le Marchand was stoned by Tarbell at the left post and Jessica Buttinger was also denied by Tarbell off the rebound in front. Two minutes later, Buttinger's blast from the right side was knocked down by Tarbell's blocker.
UNH generated pressure in the 45th minute to earn its first corner of the game. Following the insert and a series of four passes, Megan Bozek (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) swept a reverse-stick shot from the middle of the circle wide right. The 'Cats were awarded another corner moments later and this time Bozek's low shot from the top right was blocked by a Duke defender.
The Blue Devils reestablished a two-goal lead, 3-1, at 46:03. When Hunter Bracale dribbled into the circle on the right side and fired a shot inside the far post.
Three minutes later, Devon Gagliardi's high shot from the right wing was stopped by Tarbell's blocker. UNH called a timeout at 49:37, but two minutes later it was Duke knocking on the door as Robin Blazing was denied by Tarbell twice at the left post.
Duke extended the advantage to 4-1 at 56:33 when Gagliardi's bounding centering pass from the right wing was batted out of the air by Le Marchand into the cage.
With 11 minutes remaining, Casey Pohlmeyer (Millersville, Md.) utilized a quick restart just outside the top of the circle to blast a reverse-stick line drive that sailed over the crossbar. UNH did not record another shot the rest of the way.
The Blue Devils took a 5-1 lead at 61:57. On a penalty corner, Paula Heimbach swung a pass from the top of the circle to the right side, where Le Marchand's strike was redirected high into the cage by Abby Beltrani. Le Marchand scored her third goal of the game and closed the scoring when her shot from the top right bounced inside the left post.
The end of the 2013 season marked the end of UNH careers for seniors Bozek, Pohlmeyer, Richard and Woods. The quartet led the Wildcats to four consecutive America East regular-season crowns, two conference tournament titles and two NCAA tourney appearances.

While we wait for the first sign of Madonna's upcoming collaboration with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj on her new single Give Me All Your Love, let's turn our attention for a bit to Maddy's other new song that is near ready for release. Madonna has recorded a ballad to be featured in her directorial debut film W.E. and today we are learning deets about the song. The ballad is titled Masterpiece and was produced by William Orbit. The song plays over the closing credits of the film and will not only be featured on the W.E. soundtrack but will also likely be featured on Madonna's new album (due out next year). It looks like we'll be getting our first listen of the track very very soon, as W.E. is set to open in theaters within weeks.
Guy Oseary recently confirmed the rumours about a ballad Madonna recorded for her own movie W.E. Now, we at Madonnarama can finally reveal the title; it's called "Masterpiece" and it has been produced by William Orbit. The song seems to be about what it feels to love and be loved like a piece of art and how fragile this love can be. From what we hear Madonna's voice is absolutely stunning in it, and the track is very orchestral. The song will be featured on the soundtrack of the movie and should also be included on Madonna's upcoming album.
A commenter on Madonnarama posted some of the lyrics to Masterpiece as transcribed from a recent screening of W.E.:
"It hurts so much to be in love with a masterpiece. Nothing is indestructible. When I first saw you … all the darkness turned to light. It seems to me it's what you like. And honestly it's not fun to always be the chosen one. I'm right by your side. Like a thief in the night."
I'm intrigued by the idea that Madonna's vocals are the focus of the song, I cannot wait to hear this ballad! To be honest, I'm surpried that Masterpiece hasn't already made it's way to the Internets. I'm dying to see W.E., for more reasons than one, but getting to hear this song is a nice added bonus. We are SO close to an onslaught of new Madonna music … so very close. Wee!!
