Nairobi, Kenya (CNSNews.com) - A US Marine and three Kenyan soldiers were critically injured in a helicopter crash while taking part in joint US-African military exercises in East Africa.
Just three days ago, four U.S. Marines were seriously hurt when their truck rolled over in the same area. All the wounded are at the same Mombassa hospital.
The Kenyan Army helicopter went down late Thursday while approaching the Moi International Airport in Mombassa, 500 kilometers south of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
The names of the servicemen injured Friday had not been released at this writing. They were participating in a joint international military force conducting military exercises along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.
Two helicopters were flying side-by-side near the remote town of Lamu, when one crashed into a swamp. A senior military official in Nairobi told CNSNews.com the accident was the result of engine failure.
The four US Marines injured earlier this week are identified as Rodriguez-Borjas and Jose Alamo, both from Los Angeles; Alfredo Lozano of Texas; and Ryan Lowery of Montgomery, Ohio. Lowery's condition is described as critical.
The team leader, identified only as Captain Thibodeaux, declined to give details of what might have caused the accident, saying the investigation is continuing.
"We are hoping to transfer [the four] to a military base at Landstuhl in Germany," he told CNSNews.com from Mombassa late Thursday.
"There is a fully-equipped plane already here and we hope they will be transferred either tonight or tomorrow."
The joint exercise, code-named Natural Fire 2000, involves U.S. Marines and soldiers from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

At McCormack Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tiffany McCormack is devoted to ensuring patients receive an unprecedented level of care before, during, and after their aesthetic enhancement procedures. In an effort to better assist those interested in cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, Dr. McCormack uses an innovative imaging and software system called VECTRA® 3D during the presurgical consultation process. Designed to three-dimensionally simulate potential results, VECTRA® 3D imaging enables patients to become more involved in the presurgical planning process while also helping them better visualize realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedures.
How it Works
VECTRA® 3D imaging technology consists of six high-resolution cameras strategically aligned to capture various angles of the targeted region. During the consultation, Dr. McCormack will take a picture simultaneously from all six angles as the patient stands in front of the VECTRA® system. The photograph is then processed by advanced imaging software and generated onto a computer monitor as a three-dimensional digital image.
Once the image is displayed on the computer screen, Dr. McCormack can utilize VECTRA®'s modeling software to virtually replicate different surgical approaches and their expected outcomes. For breast augmentation and other breast surgery patients, she can choose from a variety of implant options, shapes, and sizes to demonstrate results that can potentially be achieved with particular implants. For patients interested in facial plastic surgery, such as rhinoplasty and eyelid rejuvenation, Dr. McCormack can illustrate how specific changes to certain characteristics will affect the overall aesthetic of the face. Additionally, for body contouring patients, she will be able to display a modified visual image of how their body may look following surgery.
After the consultation, Dr. McCormack can provide access to a copy of all surgical possibilities for patients to review with family and friends in the comfort of their own homes. Ultimately, it is important to note the surgical outcomes depicted by VECTRA® 3D imaging are only potential results; however, these potential results can help patients establish realistic expectations and better communicate their cosmetic goals to Dr. McCormack.
For more information about VECTRA® 3D imaging, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. McCormack, please contact our office today.

Brown killer algea! HELP
3 Attachment(s)
So I have kinad been letting this problem go on for a while now and it has really gotten out of control. I hit a last straw when I got back from a 10 day trip and my Fox Tail was dead and the other plants have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peal. I don't know what to do about it and its been going on for about a couple of months. None of my fish have been affected and thats kinda why I let it get out of hand I guess. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this dark dirty brown hairy algea would be great!
4x42"T12, 8 hours a day
Just started excel this week, prior to that nothing, no CO2.
6 discus, 6 cardinals, 2 Bristile nose plecos
Bristlenose plecos and random small snails don't eat it ( and i think one of those two might be eating my swords!)
Tank: 72 gallon bow front, 85F
50lb organic potting soil, 50lb eco complete, 75lb black sand.
110 Aqua clear and 75 gallon sponge filter
thanks for all of your help!
Its black beard algae, remove most by hand/toss bad stuff. Spot treat with excel/Hydrogen peroxide. Increase Co2 if possible/ add DIY. Or you can try this method but make sure to read entire page fish death/invert death may happen.
Thanks for a reply. I was really lost to what type this was and how to deal with it.
Hehe. I actually referred Ccbeauch to start this thread from the "One-Two Punch" thread.
These were the pictures from Cc's tank journal that made me do it. From November:
To today:
It's the general decline in plant health that concerned me more than the algae. It looks like Cc has used CO2/Excel at some time in the past, and at some point discontinued it; I'm not sure of the timing and perhaps that's the only thing responsible. But as I have no experience with dirted tanks, I wanted to make sure someone who knows their dirt can take a look, and uncover any other potential issues.
Re: Brown killer algea! HELP
I agree...needs more co2. Ramp up slowly!
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
I guess I did use a little CO2 and excel the first three to four months of operation and then stopped. Maybe that was why they look so much smaller now. I thought it was also because either the snails or my plecos were eating the sword plants and that's why they arn't as big anymore. I also figured the algae killed off the other plants and that was why they weren't growing either. I'm going to do the H2O2 later today and see if that works. Is that like an instant algae kill or like it's dead and now it will float around until the filter picks it up for a few days type thing?

Essential Information
Certificate and associate's degree programs in medical assisting cover the fundamental knowledge needed to work for a variety of medical specialties in a clinical and administrative capacity. After completing the program, medical assistants interested in becoming a podiatry assistant can train in a podiatrist's office. Depending on the office, they might learn to make castings of a patient's feet, develop X-rays and assist during surgery. Additionally, the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants offers podiatry assistants the opportunity to become certified, with a concentration in either administrative or clinical duties.
Here are a few common concepts taught in medical assistant courses:
- Knowledge of the human body
- Patient assessment
- Procedures in a medical office environment
- Patient records
- Treatments
List of Common Courses
Medical Terminology Course
Students take a medical terminology course near the beginning of most medical assistant degree or certificate programs. Doing so allows them to understand terms and abbreviations used to identify basic medical procedures and diagnoses. Lessons address symptoms and diseases, as well as prefixes and suffixes that help to more accurately describe a patient's medical condition.
Medical Office Administration Skills Course
Medical assistant and podiatry assistant jobs generally include office management and administrative duties. Students in this course learn to coordinate procedure and personnel scheduling, perform basic filing and billing procedures, and write interoffice communications. Some medical office administrative courses also include insurance billing and coding processes, though these skills might also be taught in a separate course.
Human Anatomy Course
Most medical assistants participate directly in administering patient care. Instruction in human anatomy provides them with basic knowledge of the human body, which they need when recording a patient's medical history or assessing a patient's condition and symptoms. Topics include the organs and functions of basic physiological systems, including the circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems.
Clinical Skills for Medical Assistants Course
This course provides students with skills in patient care and assessment. Topics include office equipment sterilization, vital signs data collection and medical records maintenance. Instruction also prepares students to assist physicians during minor office surgery and to perform preliminary patient exams. A lab session that offers hands-on practice with common medical office procedures is also often included.
Pharmacology for Medical Assistants Course
This course provides instruction in the common effects of prescribed medications and their interactions with over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, nutritional supplements and homeopathic medicines. Students also learn about various legal and ethical considerations, as well as the role of governmental agencies in prescription drug approval.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I HAd a hard time just trying to start work with this company. I sent over 20 pics in about two months time of me holding My Id in different lighting, different angles, etc Untill they were finally accepted as proof that I was the person in the the Id.
The site dioes not the traffic they claim to have. I only earned about $27 and Never recieved payment. I logged on to view my earnings and they had been erased from my "stats" , whisch i s where you keep track of the amount of time you spend in private with a customer . I E-mailed them and I did not get a reply as far as why I was no longer able to view my earnings since they had been deleted. As for why i wasnt paid the measly $27 I made they replied with the following:
"...We can investigate the claim. My immediate opinion, prior to investigating it, is that your payment wasn't released because model payments are withheld until they have earned in excess of $100. This first $100 minimum is a one time thing, after which model payouts are released every Monday, in any increment exceeding $10... Either way, we can release the $27 in the event it hasn't been paid out, the site only withholds the first $100 in earnings because many models quit the site prior to giving it a fair chance to be successful. thanks-admin"
(((How do I get PAID?
The best for last. We pay every week. You can be paid by check through the mail or direct deposit to your bank account. It is the responsibility of each model to allot the necessary taxes, and submit a tax form provided by WGWcorp at the end of year.)))
I looked over the performer agreement and couldnt find where it says that i dont get paid untill I earn more than $100. Somebody show me where, Maybe I overlooked that part.
I was entusiastic about working with this company untill I realized they werent paying me .I didnt log in for a while because I had problems connecting to the internet and about two weeks passed and still no check for the small amount I earned my first time logging in and performing in private for a costumer.
I'm Just one of many, who I'm sure have not been paid .Meanwhile theyre collecting all those earnings by us who made less than $100. whisch is double because they charge the costumer like 1.99 or more per minute.
They Suck!

3 Days in Destin
One Day in Destin
Guide to Destin Outdoors
We did surf camp with a group of 10 kids and all of the kids were able to get up on the board. It was the highlight of our trip. Dylan went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.
We came to Destin in late April and set up lessons for our niece and nephew. The instructions were very good and great about setting up our lessons. Ride on provided me a surfboard to use while the kids took their lesson and an umbrella for my husband to hang out under with our new baby.
Fantastic instructors made this 3 days of surf camp memorable for our 10 and 12 year old. They started the camp with some basic instruction and then hit the waves with the instructors. Definitely recommend signing up for multiple days if you have the time - the kids can build on skills and really get the hang of the board...
I had a great time attending their 3 hour surf camp. I was able to ride some waves for the first time in my life and it was awesome! My family and I came back 2 more times during our vacation and the guys cut us a great deal on surfboard and paddle board rentals. Highly recommended!
I took my 8 yr old daughter here for her first surfing experience. We have never seen so many smiles on her face and she even forgot her IPhone existed for this time!! Our instructor was phenomenal!! Fun, energetic, attentive, encouraging and really made this experience perfect!! Waves were small but perfect for a beginner!! 65.00 an hour per person...
I want to share the wonderful experience I have had this week with the chair rental component of this business. Not only are my chairs and umbrella set up by 8:00 and in great condition, as they have seen me coming and going with my bags each day, one of guys immediately runs to me and carries my stuff to...
It was my 8 year old T1D daughter's first time and she loved it!! They had her up surfing in no time and she had a blast this morning! The 3 hours is really just the right amount of time- glad we went with that! She only took one 15 minute break to refuel and was back to it. Great...
I was looking for an activity that my 14 year old son could look forward to and an experience that would push us out of our comfort zone. The guys at Ride On Surf were so helpful and patient. We all loved it and made for some great photos!!! Especially since we were all in matching surf shirts that they...
My son (7) had been wanting to try surfing for sometime now. We were delighted when we found Ride On Surf School just down the beach from where we were staying. We signed him up for a 4 day lesson (1 hour per day). The guys (Dylan, Scott & Logan) were super. They were so friendly, helpful, and hands-on the...
Dylan was amazing. My two young teenagers had semi-private lesson here and it was fantastic. They had both surfed once before, but Dylan had them up and riding in no time. He was fun and interesting and invested and both of my kids loved him.
He was also very flexible and had great communication with me prior to getting there....

So, i've come to realize my biggest performance limitation is endurance. I'm not sure that's technically the right term. Basically I have a decent amount of strength, but my body wears out very quickly during higher intensity workouts. I can do moderate workouts forever, but anything that gets me out of breath kills me.
For example, right now I could hit the floor and do about 35 pushups before resting. However, if I first did a few pullups or was otherwise out of breath before starting the pushups, I could only do about 10 or so.
What are the general approaches to building endurance? Or what have some of you found to improve how long your body can maintain high intensity workouts?

The only down side is the insane number of tourists on the major paths (particularly from canada and America)
After four days of relaxation, I had a long train journey down to Sorrento. After a trainstrike was planned and then cancelled (when I asked why I was given a shrug and told "this is italy"), I thought Id be alright. But after being on the train from 7.30 until 2pm, I was given the wrong directions at Naples station (along with about 5 other anglos, I might add) and we got on a train going completely the wrong way for an hour. So an hour out of our way, and hour waiting for the next train back, then an hour to Sorrento. After this extravaganza I was exhausted but strangely, not upset, worried or angry about it. I actually had a little smile to myself...in that moment I realised that Ive become a real backpacker, unfazed by the long hours of travel, the confined quarters of trains and the unhelpfulness of train staff.

Published: December 29, 2013 - 04:08 PM | Updated: December 30, 2013 - 06:52 PM
PITTSBURGH: When Rob Chudzinski landed his dream job as head coach of the Browns, he could have never imagined it would last only one season.
But fans should know to expect the unexpected with the Browns, especially with owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner in charge.
The only thing the new regime could've done to blindside the public more severely than trading running back Trent Richardson in September was to hand Chudzinski a pink slip less than a year after hiring him Jan. 10.
And that's exactly what happened Sunday night about five hours after the Browns fell 20-7 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular-season finale at Heinz Field.
Haslam and Banner fired Chudzinski, a Toledo native who grew up a die-hard Browns fan, after just one season on the job, the team announced. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the move.
The Browns scheduled a news conference for 12:30 p.m. today and issued the following statement:
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally. We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year.
"Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there's an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward.
"Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We're fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve."
The shocking development has overshadowed the fact that the Browns have the fourth overall pick in May's NFL Draft after finishing the season 4-12.
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, a Canton McKinley High School graduate, and Penn State coach Bill O'Brien, a former Patriots offensive coordinator, would likely top the Browns' list of candidates to replace Chudzinski, according to several reports. Jason La Canfora of CBS speculated that Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz could also enter the mix if he is fired.
Chudzinski has three years left on a four-year contract worth slightly more than $3 million a year.
On Friday, Bleacher Report NFL columnist Dan Pompei reported that some people around the league wouldn't be surprised if Chudzinski were fired. The rumblings grew much louder shortly before kickoff Sunday partly because management was furious with the lack of effort it thought the Browns displayed in a 24-13 loss last week against the New York Jets.
Chudzinski's players were bewildered, angry and defensive when confronted with questions about his looming firing after the game.
"I'd be very surprised if they made a change," seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle and offensive captain Joe Thomas said. "And I'd be very disappointed.
"You look at the great franchises. They don't fire your coach after the first season. You can't do it."
Thomas said Chudzinski's dismissal would not only be the wrong move, but it also "would be devastating" for the Browns, who have had six full-time head coaches since their expansion era began in 1999. Chudzinski was the fourth since 2008. The Steelers, who barely missed out on a playoff berth after beating the Browns to finish 8-8, have had three head coaches since 1969.
"It sets everything back," Thomas said. "You just hit the reset button. Anytime you hit the reset button, it severely damages the organization, and it lengthens the amount of time that it takes to get back to the playoffs and turn the team into a consistent winner. … I think that this organization needs continuity and that's the only chance that we're going to have to turn this team into a consistent winner."
The Browns had never before fired a head coach after just one season. Chudzinski became the sixth NFL head coach to be fired after just one season on the job in the past 10 years, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"That's absurd to me that a report would be out about a good coach like that," inside linebacker and defensive captain D'Qwell Jackson said in disbelief. "That's crazy. That pisses me off in a sense.
"I don't know how a report would get out like that about Chud. Chud's a great coach. He's had our attention from Day One. We have great coaches that are coaching us up."
Chudzinski was set to meet with the front office today, but he asked if he could push it up to Sunday night, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported. That's when he was fired.
In his postgame news conference, Chudzinski said he talked to Haslam on Sunday before the game, but they didn't discuss his future. Asked if he expected to be back with the Browns next season, Chudzinski said, "As far as I know." He also said he was "definitely" on the same page as Haslam and Banner when it comes to the direction of the team.
"I feel the future is bright," Chudzinski said. "I look forward to it.
"I've been through situations where you have to go through some of the struggles to get things established and get the foundation built. … We'll improve."
NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that the Browns' front office had a problem with Chudzinski because players were not held accountable and because he showed a lack of decisiveness in big moments.
"I don't know anything regarding that at all," Chudzinski said when asked about not holding players accountable. "That's not an issue."
The Browns finished Chudzinski's first year as a head coach at any level with seven consecutive defeats, the longest losing streak in franchise history to end a season, and their 10th defeat in the last 11 games.
Using three starting quarterbacks because of injuries and poor production, he guided the team to one fewer win than it earned last year, when coach Pat Shurmur and General Manager Tom Heckert were fired after the Browns went 5-11.
The players defended Chudzinski. Thomas, Jackson, quarterback Jason Campbell, Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron and strong safety T.J. Ward were among those who insisted Chudzinski held them accountable and had them playing hard till the end.
"Even this week, we treated everything like a regular week," Campbell said. "It wasn't like we were getting out early and going home. We were still preparing like we were still playing beyond today. That gives him a lot of credit to not let the outside world destroy what he's trying to build."
Said Jackson: "He's a great coach. He's been good for us. It was on the players this year. We didn't win the games to let people know how good of a coach he was. It fell on the players this year."

I'm man enough to admit that the sight of Holly Peers in lingerie and taking off her lingerie to reveal her bodacious mams sometimes leaves me with a tear in my eye. Maybe two tears. What can I do? Seeing Holly Peers ridiculously hot body is like my own version of watching The Notebook. Lust is just so bittersweet.
Featured in the new edition of Nuts magazine, Holly Peers looks wicked passion inducing in her little bits of lingerie, and without even having to ask, she knows exactly what we went to ogle next. I believe the word I'm looking for is synergy. Or fapping. Or both. Just so damn hot. Bless you, Holly Peers. Enjoy.

Bill Barnwell article post Super Bowl
Good article IMHO.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
Re: Bill Barnwell article post Super Bowl
Barnwell has disrespected us at just about every turn since he started writing for Grantland, but I have to commend him for owning up to it and eating crow...every single time.

Re: Bill Barnwell article post Super Bowl
1) teams can change in season. replacing Cam wi Caldwell was a huge upgrade, tho it took a couple games to get going.
2) I've seen plenty of games where the 'better' team lost cuz of one tipped pass, fumble, bad call. part of a Super Bowl run is to get a few breaks.
good observation on holding in the end zone = automatic safety. gonna give one anyway so..."Nothing stops these Baltimore Ravens. Beat them, injure them, shove them to the bottom of the standings, drag them into a hostile environment and mount a big lead, and they just keep trudging forward like nothing fazes them."

Re: Bill Barnwell article post Super Bowl
And you know, if Cam was still the OC, and our Oline didn't change, and all our hurt players didn't get healthy in time, then we would have stayed inconsistent, and faltered, and maybe not even win the division and been lucky to even get in the playoffs.
Even though I look at stats too, because if the same players are on the field every game for a specific team, then looking at their stats can help to quantify them.
But, if you look at a team like this years' Ravens, then alot of those stats can be thrown out.
So many players hurt along the way.
Backups to backups playing sometimes in crucial moments of games this season.
Young players thrown into early action...and they developed and learned and became battle harded, so to speak.
Then players coming back at different times...
Then OC being tossed out at the right time...
And then becoming healthy enough and a game plan good enough to win the division against the Giants.
The stats did not reveal how that game played out beforehand.
And everryone coming together, getting healthy (resting during last game of season), Caldwell being comfortable, emotional lift given by Ray, all the rookies and 2nd year players AND this years' acquired free agents gelling AND Oline shift...the stats do not account for all of these changes and what it means.
And that is why the "experts", looking at stats and earlier season performances came to wrong conclusions.
The Ravens team that took to the fields during the post season didn't resemble the team that started the season or at anytime during it (well maybe the first game - vs. Bengals).
And as I listened to the "experts" tell their conclusions, I knew they were wrong as soon as it came out of their mouths.
They didn't do their homework.
And they ARE bitter that the Ravens made them look stupid.
And that's why I see all the negative press.


text: http://cbs.sportsline.com/b/page/pressbox/0,1328,5646870,00.html Aug. 27, 2002 By Jay Glazer SportsLine.com Senior Writer As the preseason heads for the home stretch, season preview guides are multiplying on newsstands across the country. The glossies that grace these mags and newspaper pullouts will shine with stars du jour like Marshall Faulk, Brett Favre, Kurt Warner and Peyton Manning. The Ray Lewises and Michael Strahans are photographed in formidable poses. But none of these publications will dare put the NFL's most dominating player on its cover. The man who causes more weekly destruction than any of the aforementioned superstars will again be overlooked. The true story of football is not about dazzling statistics and marketable marauders. It's about pain, violence and the bloody fistfights in the trenches. Nobody is more destructive than the Cowboys' massive offensive lineman Larry Allen. He's never found in fantasy football guides and rarely discussed in NFL chat rooms. He certainly won't be a cover boy for People's sexiest athletes or the cover story previewing the league's superstars. But in the reality that comes calling on Sunday afternoons, Allen could be considered the NFL's top player. He is certainly the most dominating. I know, I know ... Larry Allen? "No doubt, Larry is the most dominating guy in the league," said former teammate and future Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders. "It may not even be close." Though much of the attention heading into this season will focus on the Faulks, Warners and Mannings, Allen is the choice for the league's most dominant player, position-by-position. Don't just take our word for it. "We call him the legalized killer," Strahan said of the man he also calls the best blocker he has seen. "He doesn't just block people, he hurts people. He is such a force that you really don't see anywhere else. He's probably the only guy who you watch on film who makes you cringe. He does something every week where you actually feel bad for the people who are playing him." It's not a difficult assessment to agree with, provided you've tasted the blood of these fights before. "Larry Allen has the potential to embarrass more players than anybody else in the league on any given week," said former Pro Bowl offensive lineman and current CBS Sports analyst Randy Cross. "Marshall Faulk can put a move on a couple guys in a game and make them look bad. Kurt Warner can beat a corner or safety on a deep pass for a touchdown and make that guy look bad. But Larry has the force to humiliate groups of people and he does it on a regular basis." One of the factors in choosing him the league's best pound-for-pound player is how much more he dominates his slot than other stars at their respective positions. But Allen is in a class by himself. The No. 2 guard, Pittsburgh's Alan Faneca, is a terrific player, but the difference between the two is vast. The top tackle, Jon Ogden, is tremendous, but he has been dominating at pretty much one slot. Allen's versatility is another factor that separates him from the pack. Consider this: Allen has been selected to the All-Pro Team in each of the past seven seasons -- at three different positions. He has also been voted into the Pro Bowl eight times at four different slots. * He began his Pro Bowl binge at right tackle in 1994. * He then moved his path of destruction inside to right guard from '95 to the final three games of the 1997 season. * Over the next 19 regular-season games, he humiliated right defensive ends at the left tackle slot. In fact, there was a four-game stretch in which he faced four of the league's top pass rushers. Total sacks he allowed: zippo. Big fat 0. * In 1999, Allen was again moved, this time to the left guard slot where he was able to feast on an entirely new group of victims. "The fact that he excelled at each of those positions should surprise absolutely nobody," says Cross, himself a multiposition Pro Bowl lineman. "I don't think there's a guy who has dominated the way he does since probably (Hall of Fame tackle) John Hannah." He brings an element that most others lack: the ability to strike fear. Allen is what Mike Tyson was in the '80s. Opponents quiver at the scale. "Basically I try to go out there and punk them, make them quit," Allen said of his Sunday routine. "It's either him or me and it's not going to be me." He brings fear to Sunday. His Sunday Sabbath does not bring rest for the body, or refreshment for the soul, but it does elicit prayer as in, 'Lord, please don't let me get hurt by this beast today.' "Oh, it definitely happens; guys will look to find a way out when they have to play him," Strahan said. "The saddest thing is how many players will watch him on film during the week and then, as the game gets closer, they pull up with some mysterious injury or flu or something. We call that catching 'Allen-itis.'" It happens more than people know. "It's so bad that it's caused some guys to actually get crafty," Sanders said. "Guys aren't going down anymore with an ankle or hamstring on Wednesday. Now guys look ahead on the schedule and make sure they go down with an injury in the third or fourth quarter of the game before they play Dallas. "I'm not fooling. If you take a look at all the "injuries" some linemen have had over the years, it's amazing how devastating the Larry Allen syndrome can be." One former player relayed this story: A few years back, his teammates insisted on Wednesday that their starting defensive tackle would not play that Sunday vs. Dallas. The cause? Allen-itis. After a day of watching Allen on film actually hurt a variety of linemen, his teammates knew the DT was not going to want any part of Allen's destruction. Sure enough, game day found the DT complaining of flu-like symptoms. "Yeah, I've seen that a lot," said Allen, who fought his way off the mean streets of Compton, Calif. "Sometimes you can also tell in the first series that they aren't all there. You can look in their eyes, and if they don't look back at you, you got them." Allen's tenacity and strength are his best traits. Last year, he was filmed bench-pressing a stunning 700 pounds, easily making him the league's strongest Pro Bowl player. "Sometimes I get too aggressive, and I'll get out of balance if I'm trying to kill a guy," he says. "If I'm playing a guy and he tries to muscle me, it's just not going to happen." While others can also dominate with strength, they don't combine this brute force with the nastiest on-field demeanor in the league. "When I'm pulling around the end and see my guy, I'm just thinking I want to mess him up," Allen says in between quick chuckles. "Some turn around, some try to avoid me, some just go down. My dominance is my strength." He isn't a cover boy. But he has a better claim to fame -- when Larry Allen rolls your way, boy, you better run for cover. Anybody got a problem with our choice? Yeah, didn't think so.

We're Not in Kansas Anymore
... look around since we weren't staying but one night. Imagine our surprise when we went to Kansas City, MO to find an exciting, large city. We found a World War I museum and monument but only got to visit the grounds and a little inside. The city amazed us at how big it is and how busy it seemed to be. We rode across the river into Kansas City, KS to look around there but were surprised to find it was not as big or busy as the other Kansas ...

Beachaven is a quaint little winery and vineyard in Clarksville, Kentucky that was doing a brisk business by the time we left. We crossed the Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky into Illinois.

Perfect ! Thank You. I would like to use this in my education video intro on YouTube if that's okay.
Thanks Again,
this clip is number 1!
Ironic that you would so heavily support FLAC files in your description of a file that you uploaded as a .wav isn't it? Also FLAC files are compressed so they will never be adopted in the professional audio world.

Those of you who can't open this file, just download and install Audacity. It's a free, open source sound editor.

Annice Curry died June 9, 2013. She was 94. Born in Key West, she was the daughter of Charles A. Smith and Macie Sawyer Smith. She was a graduate of Key West High School.
As a girl, Mrs. Curry worked in various family businesses, including a boarding house for railroad postal employees and a grocery store. In later years, she recalled that as the only girl in a family that included three brothers, she was expected to contribute much time and effort to these enterprises.
In 1938, Annice married fellow Conch Charles J. Curry. It was the height of the Great Depression, and there was no work to be had in Key West, so the couple headed north to Jacksonville where they spent several months operating a hamburger stand outside a movie theater.
Subsequently Charles obtained a job with the Army Corps of Engineers and the couple moved to Pahokee, Fla. Later a position opened at the naval base in Key West and Annice and Charles returned to the island, where they resided for the rest of their lives.
After leaving Jacksonville, Mrs. Curry did not again work outside the home. She poured her energies into bringing up her two sons and into volunteer work of various kinds.
Church activities were especially important to her, and at one time or another she made important contributions to the Sunday School program at Lee Memorial Methodist Church, to Wesley House, and to the Pennyworth Shop at Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. She was also active in a number of service clubs, including the Jayshees, the Key West Garden Club and the Woman's Club. For several years she worked at polling places on election days, helping ensure honesty and fairness in the democratic process.
Said her long-time friend, Freddy Voigt, "She was always thinking, always observing and always trying to make things better." Mrs. Curry is survived by her two sons, Jeff Curry of Wellington, Fla., and Glenn Curry of San Juan, Puerto Rico; two daughters-in-law, Pat Curry of Wellington and Wynne Curry of San Juan; one granddaughter, Hope Pitney of Vieques, Puerto Rico and her husband Martin Pitney; one grandson, Kevin Donohue of Port St. Lucie, Fla., and his wife Michelle; two great grandchildren, Keila and Kyle Donohue; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m Friday, June 14, 2013, at the Key West United Methodist Church, 600 Eaton St., Key West, Fla.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to Hospice of the Florida Keys, 1319 William St., Key West, FL, 33040. The Dean-Lopez Funeral Home is entrusted with all funeral arrangements.

Tricia Carr | August 21, 2014 | Style & Beauty The Latest
British footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood tells us which fashion and beauty items he swears by to transition to fall.
Nicholas Kirkwood men's shoes available at the Bal Harbour pop-up (9700 Collins Ave., Store 147, 305-861-1884)
Fall is upon us—and so is the closing weekend of Nicholas Kirkwood's summer pop-up at Bal Harbour Shops (9700 Collins Ave., Store 147, 305-861-1884), which means Miamians have until this Sunday, August 24 to pick up übertrendy women's and men's footwear from the British designer's spring/summer 2014 collection. To bid farewell to the temporary shoe haven (and welcome fall fashion season), we asked Kirkwood to tell us how he transitions his fashion and beauty routine.
From his own Bal Harbour pop-up, Kirkwood picked out oxfords with metallic accents (pictured above). "These are perfect for going from summer into fall with their transient color way and sports mesh fabric," he said.
Kiehl's Facial Fuel ($25). 832 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-531-0404
Kirkwood's go-to moisturizer is Kiehl's energizing facial treatment for men. "This product has been great for transitioning into colder seasons for me, when your skin is trying to adjust to a drier climate," he said.
Maison Martin Margiela Cashmere V-Neck Sweater ($965). Barneys New York, 832 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-421-2010
For the busy fall fashion season, Kirkwood needs "something quite light and easy to travel with," like this heather grey cashmere pullover for a chilly evening.
Kenzo Zig-Zag Socks ($29). farfetch.com
When Kirkwood lands in a cooler climate, he has a pair of funky socks packed and ready. "Decent socks are essential and are key items for any wardrobe at any time of the year," he told us. "I tend to have some fun with mine when it comes to color and prints."
Hermès Arion Weekend Bag ($5,300). 175 N.E. 40th St., Miami, 305-868-0118
Kirkwood chose this durable leather holdall to "get me through the seasons and especially going into winter. In the summer it's good to have something a bit lighter, but I'm in favor of good leather accessories."

I just read the good article HTG Explains: Understanding Routers, Switches, and Network Hardware.
Very useful. The discussion about switches raises a question:
If I copy files between two computers, say from computer A to computer B on the same WiFi LAN, does the data go directly between the 2 computers, A -> B. Or does it go A -> Router -> B ? I am assuming the router must always be the intermediary, but maybe not and networking is smarter than I realize. At least as I am thinking about it, if the copy could be directly between the two computers once initiated, the overall amount of data traffic would be roughly half as much as if the router has to be in the loop. True ? And if the network were wired, not wireless, would that change the answer ?
Thank you.

If you're interested in what's happening on the Web at the moment (driven by open source technologies), then taking a moment to listen to Tim talk about the challenges to the Open Source model will probably be useful.
Tim's brief post is a prelude to his speech at OSCON next week, where he'll be talking about four key ideas:
1. Participation beyond software
2. Competition
3. Leveraging software as a service
4. Open data and the value thereof
This is one of those times I wish I could get into an airplane and fly to OSCON, just to listen to this speech and the resulting conversations. Tim has been around the block a few times, and usually has a sharp, well thought out angle which comes from his deep knowledge of the technology space, its memes, and the players within.
I'm going to set up some radars to watch this conversation unfold...

Cinemaholics Anonymous
Bars are the world's Temples of Emotion. Think about it: Where else do we connect with who we really are inside? In bars, we laugh about our problems and drown them too. Relationships are broken in bars, and lovers are made. When we step into those dark rooms and our minds are set at ease -- we become passengers on a journey that can take us just about anywhere.
Come to think of it, there is somewhere else where all those things happen: the movies. Yep, good cinema serves as a direct conduit into our emotions. So it's fitting that Sunday night, you can watch two deeply emotional films in -- of all places -- a bar. Come check out Stage 84 (9118 W. State Road 84, Davie) as it hosts its second-ever Indie Film Night.
The first film on the docket is Broken Flowers, Jim Jarmusch's poignant tale about a ladies man (Bill Murray) who finds himself alone after a lifetime of lovers. Stick around afterward for the opposite emotional spectrum in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That way, when you leave the bar in tears of laughter, you can tell everyone, "It's only a flesh wound!"
The films start at 6 p.m. sharp. A $10 cover gets you one drink (beer, wine, or soda) and another movie must -- popcorn. Visit vaughnreynolds.com.

Granada Hills Charter High School wasted no time in its first-ever appearance at the U.S. Academic Decathlon on Saturday, winning its first national championship and sweeping most of the individual scoring divisions.
The nine-member team took the top overall score with 52,113.5 out of 60,000 points, with the second-place team, a Texas high school, trailing them by 1,677 points.
"It was hard to grasp at first," said senior Riki Higashida, who also won a gold medal in the math category. "It was surreal. It didn't really hit me. It still hasn't hit me yet that we won."
The win was an unprecedented one for a newcomer to the annual battle of the brains competition, held in Charlotte, N.C. this year.
"It's really unusual, because there's a history of teams going to nationals for the first time and doing well, but not winning the title," said Cliff Ker, LAUSD coordinator for the Academic Decathlon. "These guys came and not only won the Rookie of the Year Award but the national title as well."
The rookie award is given to a school who has never made it to the finals and has the highest score among the teams in each division.
"It feels great to know we've been able to continue California's legacy," said senior Harsimar Dhanoa. "There was a fear of `What if we weren't good enough?' But once they called our name, all that was gone. We were able to do it."
The school, which for the last seven years has been building a decathlon dynasty to join the ranks of the powerhouse schools in the San Fernando Valley, beat out 35 other teams, including one from London.
"It's an honor for us to be the ones to make the mark on Granada's history," said decathlete Eugene Lee. "And to be the first rookie team to win the national title."
The decathletes were tested on 10 subjects including math, science and art, gave speeches and interviews, and competed in the Super Quiz, a fast-paced trivia relay, in the grueling and nerve-wracking two-day event. This year's theme for the questions was the Great Depression.
The teams are composed of three students from each of three grade-point average categories - A, B and C. Decathletes won gold medals in all three categories and added a bronze in the A division and silver in the B division.
Students from El Camino Real, Taft, Marshall and Moorpark high schools have traditionally dominated the competition, with El Camino, the defending champion, holding six national titles.
"Those four have had a stranglehold on California for the last 25 years," said Nick Weber, coach of the Granada Hills team. "So for us to break out of state, that's pretty remarkable."
The win marks a record 12th time that a campus affiliated with the Los Angeles Unified School District has captured the top spot.
To prepare for the challenge, the students sacrificed their spring break and studied 10 to 11 hours a day.
"These kids are probably the hardest working and closest-knit group of kids I've seen in all my years," Ker said. "They had no problem putting in all the extra hours they knew they had to put in."
The decathletes also include seniors Austin Kang, Elysia Eastty, Joon Lee, Shagun Goyal, Sindhura Seeni and sophomore Celine Ta.
The coaches are Weber, Matt Arnold and Spencer Wolf.
The team returned to the Southland on Saturday night, and will be honored Monday at school with a celebration.
"I am so proud of our GHCHS decathletes and their coaches for their first national title," said Brian Bauer, executive director of the school. "The GHCHS community is ecstatic about this amazing feat and honored to be represented by such an outstanding group of young people. We look forward to their triumphant return to campus."

Minorities make choice to live with their own
By Haya El Nasser, USA TODAY
Segregation is a loaded word. The dictionary defines it
as forcing racial groups to live apart.
But as more minorities move into white suburbia, segregation
is taking on less sinister overtones. For many, segregation is a choice they
can finally afford to make. For others, living with their own is a comfort zone.
A new analysis of Census 2000 shows that more blacks, Hispanics
and Asians are living in the suburbs areas still largely dominated by
whites. But they're continuing to live apart from whites, forming suburban versions
of the racial and ethnic enclaves that have shaped cities for much of the past
To John Logan, a sociologist at the University at Albany
in New York who analyzed the data, these patterns are troubling because poorer
and less educated people tend to cluster in segregated neighborhoods. As a group,
they tend to generate less funding for schools and services.
But the study of suburban segregation revealed something
else: More affluent minorities are choosing to live among themselves.
"Segregation doesn't necessarily speak to bias and discrimination
in all cases," says William Boone, political science professor at Clark Atlanta
University. "Sometimes, people make a rational choice."
Choice is what created many black suburban enclaves around
Atlanta. Some of them are among the most affluent black neighborhoods in the
country. In DeKalb County, subdivisions of million-dollar homes are being developed
by blacks for blacks.
"People say in code when they come, 'I want to go where
people look like me,' " says Pamela Holmes, a real estate agent and chief of
staff for DeKalb County's chief executive. "In Atlanta, they can get a $200,000
or $300,000 home or million-dollar home and still be with people who look like
them. And that's an asset."
Holmes and her husband, Benjamin, live in the suburbs.
Their subdivision in Stone Mountain, which has 175 homes, was built in 1994.
They were the third black family to move in. "We had no idea which way it would
go," she says. The subdivision is now 85% black, 10% Hispanic and 5% Asian.
The Holmes' neighbors are athletes, doctors, teachers and executives.
Boone, who is black, also lives in a predominantly black
suburb. He says that as blacks gain financial and political clout, the need
to integrate decreases. In the past, blacks had to move to white neighborhoods
to find good homes, good schools, low crime and better public services, he says.
Now, blacks are more influential and can get the same types
of services in black neighborhoods. "We have to rethink this whole question
of who wants integration and why we want integration," Boone says.
But Logan says many segregated neighborhoods in the suburbs
remain poor. As inner-city neighborhoods gentrify and as more housing projects
are demolished, poor blacks are settling in older suburbs where housing is affordable.
Logan calls it the "ghettoization" of the suburbs.
In metro areas where there are few affluent blacks, for
example, blacks who want to live in black neighborhoods end up having to live
in less affluent areas, he says.
"On the whole, upper-middle-class blacks live in much less
affluent communities than equally upper-middle-class whites," Logan says. "They're
being pushed down the hierarchy."
Choice can play a role in where Hispanic and Asian immigrants
live as well. When they first arrive in the USA, they often gravitate toward
neighborhoods where friends and relatives who came before them live.
"You can't force integration," says David Yu, chairman
of Summit National Bank, an Atlanta-based institution that caters to the Asian
community. Asians in particular, he says, want to be close to people who speak
their language.
They also are less segregated than other minorities because
there are fewer of them. Their numbers are often too small to dominate neighborhoods.
Similar trends can be seen in Hispanic settlement patterns.
But because their numbers are so large, there are more pockets of Hispanics.
Perth Amboy, a community in the Middlesex, N.J., metropolitan area, is 70% Hispanic.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Perth Amboy was dominated by Puerto Rican immigrants.
In the '70s, it was Dominicans. Now, it's mostly Mexicans, Peruvians and Colombians.
The fact that new immigrants are replacing the old is an
indication that minorities eventually move out of these clusters, demographer
William Frey says.
"There is an initial period where minorities are going
to be segregated," he says. "But that eventually breaks down, even more so in
melting-pot areas."
Maria Mora is Puerto Rican. She has lived in New Jersey
suburbs for more than 20 years, first in New Brunswick and then in Perth Amboy.
But last year, she moved out of a mostly Hispanic community in search of better
public schooling for her son. She's now in Metuchen.
"In the neighborhood where I now live, there are only 500
Hispanics out of 13,000 people," says Mora, director of the Perth Amboy Center
of Middlesex County College. "I'm surrounded by white people."
She misses Perth Amboy. "I have mixed feelings, but I want
my son to get a better education."

How Lead-Acid Batteries Work [Video]
Every morning when you go out and start your car, you're pulling power from a lead-acid battery. But how exactly do they work? In this informative video we see how lead plates and sulfuric acid provide the power your car craves.
Courtesy of Engineer Guy Video:
Bill explains the essential principles of a lead-acid battery. He shows the inside of motorcycle lead-acid battery, removes the lead and lead-oxide plates and shows how they generate a 2 volt potential difference when placed in sulfuric acid. He explains how the build up of lead sulfate between the plates will make the battery unusable if it discharged completely, which leads him to a description of how to make a deep cycle battery used for collecting solar energy.

Grattan Irish Pub supports Camp for the Blind and Visually Impaired
GREENVILLE — The summer camp season is around the corner, and many families all over the country are already registering their children for summer camp. Campfires, nature hikes, swimming, crafts, and letters to home are all part of the camp experience. Campers can hardly wait to arrive to camp and experience the magic of summer camp. Parents can hardly wait for the moment of peace to arrive! But for children who are blind or visually impaired, a "normal camp experience" may seem out of reach.
Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind (OUB) offers a unique opportunity for children who are blind or visually impaired at Camp Tuhsmeheta (Camp T) near Greenville. We all know life can have its difficulties and challenges, but for children who are blind or visually impaired, simple daily tasks can be monumental obstacles. Often children who are blind or visually impaired suffer from a lack of social skills most children take for granted. Far too many are either overprotected or neglected, not because they are not loved, but because of misconceptions about blindness.
According to Gwen Botting, director of OUB, some campers who attend OUB camps are illiterate — unable to read large print or Braille effectively. Some can't use silverware, tie their shoes, or button a shirt, not because they can't learn, but because they haven't been taught in a way that makes sense to them. Some parents don't have the skills to teach children who are blind or visually impaired, while others seclude their children in an attempt to protect them from life. At OUB CAMPS programs, children learn social skills as well as critical life skills they are not able to obtain otherwise. These programs boost their chances of a lifetime of success.
OUB offers a wide variety of programs at Camp Tuhsmeheta and in other venues to give children who are visually impaired or blind the full summer camp experience, travel camps (called Camp-in-a-Box!) for older campers, and family weekend events throughout the school year. OUB CAMPS offers a variety of camps for campers to choose from.
At Camp Tuhsmeheta, OUB offers half-week camps for those who are a little nervous about being away from home, Master Chef (cooking) Camp, Music Camp, Braille Camp, and a sensory exploration camp. Travel camps include Survival Arts Camp at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Science Camp at MacMullen Conference Center near Houghton Lake, and a 10-day Adventure Camp to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula. OUB also offers year-round classes in Birding-By-Ear: learning to identify bird by sound rather than bird "watching."
While the challenges of their disability are a daily struggle, at Camp Tuhsmeheta and other OUB events, these blind campers learn they are not alone. They gain the courage to try things they might not otherwise attempt, and find confidence with success. Half of OUB CAMPS staff are young people who are themselves visually impaired or blind, and they encourage the campers to learn through their experiences. Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind is one of the largest employers of young blind and visually impaired persons in Michigan.
As for many organizations, funding is one of the biggest challenges for OUB. Registration fees average $350 per camper for the special programs at Camp Tuhsmeheta and other OUB programs, but actual per campers costs can run as high as $1,200 per camper per week. The only way these programs can be made available is by support through grants and fundraising events.
The Grattan Irish Pub, also known as the Grattan Bar, is offering to give to OUB supporting programs at Camp T. A special fundraiser is being held at the Grattan Irish Pub, 11817 Old Belding Road, from 5 to 9 p.m. this evening. The Grattan Irish Pub will donate 20 percent of the total food bill to Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind when you order from their main menu. Just let the server know you are there for OUB or Camp T.
Staff and campers will also be there to answer any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend the dinner, but would like to sponsor a camper, or would like more information about how you can become involved, call Gwen at (989) 855-2430, or visit www.campt.org online.

Buying a house is possibly the biggest financial decision you will make in your life. Finding a suitable property for you and your family is only the tip of the iceberg. Next you have to navigate the seemingly endless maze of paperwork and professionals, and it all has to be done in the correct order! From getting a mortgage to moving in, this step by step guide to buying a house covers all the necessities in detail. It is split into four sections:
- What Kind of House Suits You?
- Getting A Mortgage
- Conveyancing (The legal process of buying a house)
- Useful Links
Please note that the information detailed only applies to England and Wales. In Scotland, slightly different rules apply.
What Kind of House Suits You?
When choosing where to live, it is vital to check out the area and ask yourself a few questions first. Is this somewhere you would want to live and why? Consider the following:
- Are there shops or a supermarket nearby and what about transport links? Your daily commute will have a drastic impact on your quality of life, especially in London.
- What are the crime levels like and is it in the catchment area of a good school?
- What is the local council tax?
- Do you feel safe walking around? Be sure to visit during the day and night to get a reliable feel for the neighbourhood.
Having decided on the area you would like to live, you must choose from a range of house types. Contemplate the following criteria:
- Will you need parking? If so, what are the local regulations and fees? A garage is a bonus but it can add a lot to the price.
- If you are buying a flat, it might be a good idea to check out the neighbours, particularly if there's anyone living above, as their habits could have a big impact on your life!
- The same applies if you are buying a terraced or semi-detached house.
- Is your family growing? You may want to check if there have been any conversions made to the house already, or if it is in a conservation area or a listed building. This will all impact on any potential extensions/conversions in the future.
- Do you want to buy an old or a new house? Old houses may cost more to heat and maintain, while new builds often come with added extras like furniture.
There is one more very important thing to consider when a buying a house. Is it being sold as leasehold or freehold?
- Leasehold. This means that you have the property for the duration of the lease, it then returns to the owner of the Freehold. There may be specific obligation written into the lease that you need to be aware of, such as maintenance. You will also have to pay the freeholder ground rent, usually a small yearly sum.
- Freehold. The owner of the Freehold has complete control over the property and land subject only to planning and building regulations. This increases the value of the property.

Miley Cyrus Dedicates Performance to Ariana Grande,...
The then-unknown A-lister played a cadet at a military academy alongside Sean Penn in the 1981 thriller. Though he only uttered one line during his audition, Cruise felt confident he'd landed the part. "It wasn't arrogance," he told Esquire mag. "I had a quarter in my pocket -- and that was it." After hitchhiking back home, "I walked up the driveway and saw my mother . . . She looked at me and I looked at her, and I thought, I got it."

With all do respect to astroracer, I would not recommend this procedure. This is an option however, and yes it does work. The problems are several.
#1 Repairability...if your ever involved in a situation where you've been involved in an incident where a repair is necessary, your chances of blending pearl in a catalyzed clear is extremely difficult, even next to impossible. Where ever you have overlap of clear your pearl will be more concentrated and you will end up with a halo effect.
#2 Cost...Adding pearls to a catalyzed clear cost more money even if your using a product like Omni and you can achieve the effect desired without going this route.
#3 Color sand and Buffing...It is possible to color sand and buff but, clear being a product that has a greater mil thickness than base coat when applied, it will take more coats of clear to bridge the flames to allow you to sand out the edge and buff, making it more labor intensive and more costly let alone the possibility of burn through and having to revert back to reason #1.
#4 Errors in application...If you get a run or excessive dirt while apply your "pearl in clear" coat and need to start over, it is much more difficult to fix the problem in the booth when using this method.
These are just a few reasons I would not go this route and create a recipe for disaster as I mentioned in an earlier post. I'm not trying to offend astroracer in any way and I have done exactly what has been suggested by him...I have also learned not to do it that way. With today's products there is no need and the same effects can be achieved easier with less mill build of product and cost.
I love doing Tri-coat paint work and when using the right product it's amazing what can be done. Here is a URL of my last build. It's a tri-coat starting with a blue base and a transparent orange over top, using proper materials and at great cost to the customer. The flames where air brushed in prior to top coating with the transparent orange.

Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm only speaking from experience and have had to try and repair my work when I have put pearls in clear in the past (distant Past...like over 20 years ago), it is extremely difficult and that is the major reason I don't recommend it.
Take it from an older guy who learned the hard way.
Hope this helps and again no offence to astroracer.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
As the title suggests I could do with some tips/help. I've lurked here for quite some time, first time poster
So I'm dabbling with the thought of training for a marathon (Bournemouth in October ideally with other races before hand to build myself up) and am looking to shift a couple of stone in the process. I'll give you my vitals if it helps:
Age: 30 (well, in a couple of weeks), Weight:15st, Height 5ft 10.
So I used to run a fair bit, and i've got back into it recently. I only ever used to go out for 5k in an evening unless I was feeling brave and chucked a couple more on and used to go out with a running group where I used to live once a week.
I've recently joined my local gym and have the time to go for a good hour or so every day. I enjoy running outside and on the treadmill and for the most part of the training I plan to do I'd be in the gym as they have a pool and all the other fun equipment to use! I've been upping my distances and can quite comfortably run 10k now also.
Basically I'm looking for help in putting a plan together for running but also with resistance/strength training, I'm happy to go to the gym every day so I can do weights etc when I need to give my legs a rest. I've made the mistake of spending a lot of time reading up and there is so much info about i'm now lost. I definitely want a good mix of running and the strength/resistance work.
If anyone is doing anything similar I'd appreciate a hand!
The only advice I'd give is... the weight training is fine.. but on it's own, it's not really helpful if weight loss is your key objective. If that, and an October marathon, are your main objectives, I'd suggest the following principles to work from (I can't give you an actual plan!)...
You sound determined, so good luck with it.
Thanks for the quick reply. I've only done a few 10k's if I'm honest, I started following a plan but as you suggest I intend to play the long game, my family have a wonderful history of dodgy knees and I'm in no hurry to make that an issue. My plan has been something to the effect of this:
Mon 3m
Tues rest
Wed 6m +
Thurs cross train
Fri Rest
Sat 3m
Sun 5m
With the distance increasing from week to week, I tend to do my 10k at a 7.5mph pace with a 1% incline so when I do decide to go outside for a run it doesn't punish me too hard but I might ease off the speed if it means I'll burn more calories as a result, my first aim is to drop a couple of stone so the more fat burning sounds good, my food intake has massively improved too, I generally have a bowl of special k and a bananna for brekkie, then after i've taken the kids to school/nursery I go straight to the gym, afterwards I've been having a protein shake and some fruit/something reasonably light for lunch and my dinner has been portion controlled with a distinctly depressing lack of carbs!
I'm not planning on any big weight training as such (yet), I just want to work my whole body and noy just my legs and as I have to time to go to the gym most days I don't really want to waste the oportunity. So it's probably more a case of strengthening/core work with some weights thrown in for good measure.
Must go get the kids now, thanks for the reply though
Hi Steve83, wondering how it all went..? Bit long ago but your height, age and weight are the same as mine, and I even have the same targets as you of losing weight, cutting down on carbs and 10k running as well as a couple of gym sessions a week. Must be that point in our lives...
Interested to know if you had any success?

rafter spacing
63 Attachment(s)
Sorry about all these newb questions.
I'm just putting up the rafters in my portico now. I've got the two end rafters up. The space is 38" where I need rafters. Do I evenly space them or keep as many on sixteens and have the last one spaced differently.
I'd say to take no chances and set on 16's... that way if you're sheathing with some kind of 48" wide material it will line up no matter what.
16 OC see my other post.
Split the distance, since you are working out material lengths, it would be fine. We typically frame on 24's for roofs, rarely on 16's. If you notice, on tape measures, there ie a black diamond mark at about 19 and 3/8 inches, repeating. This splits 16 and 24 to make 5 spaces in 8 feet instead of 4 or 6.
63 Attachment(s)
I'm going to wrap up the framing today.
Let me see if I have this right,
my choice is to either:
Evenly space the rafters @ 12.75" OC for a total of 4 rafter sets (1/2 ply)
Space @ 16s with the outer 2 sets of rafters at about 5" OC (1/2 ply)
Or just add one more set of rafters spaced at around 19.5" (3/4 ply)
All of these will pass code, correct?
Also attaching the rafters to the top plate I'm both using hurricane ties and toe nailing through the birds mouth. Is that correct?
Yep....no law against over building anything.
