If you go
What: "Cabaret," a sketch comedy show to benefit the Steamboat Springs Arts Council
When: 7 p.m. May 10; 6 and 8:30 p.m. May 11; and 6 and 8:30 p.m. May 12
Where: Depot Art Center, 1001 13th St.
Cost: Tickets are $30 and available at the Depot and All That Jazz. Tickets are on sale now only to Arts Council members; general public sales begin at 9 a.m. April 17.
Steamboat Springs "Cabaret" is going back to its roots.
The Depot Art Center is where the Steamboat-inspired sketch comedy show took hold as an annual comedic tradition decades ago, and now "Cabaret 2012" will make a triumphant return to the historic home of the Steamboat Springs Arts Council.
"The Arts Council is excited to bring the historic 'Cabaret' back to the Eleanor Bliss Center for the Arts," Arts Council artistic director Park Myers said. The Arts Council, which puts on "Cabaret" as a fundraiser each year, is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
"We wanted to encourage the community to celebrate the Arts Council and celebrate what 'Cabaret' is historically."
Because the intimate venue is a fraction of the size of the Strings Music Pavilion, where the event was held last year, the Steamboat Springs Arts Council will be offering more shows.
"Cabaret" will be performed at 7 p.m. May 10; 6 and 8:30 p.m. May 11; and 6 and 8:30 p.m. May 12. Tickets are $30, of which $20 is a tax-deductible donation, and are available at the Depot Art Center and All That Jazz.
Also, in an effort to revive "Cabaret's" original vision as a member-appreciation event, the Arts Council is opened up ticket sales Tuesday exclusively for Arts Council members. The remaining tickets will go on sale to the public at 9 a.m. April 17.

Sequels ... they're so hot right now!
Prick up your ears, fans of the really, really, ridiculously good looking. Ben Stiller has offered an update (albeit tantalisingly brief) on the much-anticipated sequel to his 2001 cult comedy, Zoolander.
"There is a script and we are trying to figure out if we can get it together," Stiller, who played male model Derek Zoolander in the original, dished during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show (via the Mail Online). "I just want to make sure we can put it together the way it should be."
Speaking to TV host Norton about the original, he said: "It wasn't a big hit. It came out 10 days after 9/11, so a strange time to release a movie but I'm not sure it wouldn't have been any bigger at any other time.
"But it's caught on over the years. Fans still send me pictures on Twitter of their babies doing a Blue Steel look."
Stiller also offered up an update about the project earlier this month.
"It definitely could happen. It just hasn't really come together yet, but there's a script that Justin Theroux and I worked on that we really like, and it's just a matter of figuring out how to do it right," he told ComingSoon.net.
"For me and the people who are big fans of the movie, I want to make sure that we're doing it in a way that we felt good about it, and it takes a lot of elements to come together for that to happen."
Way back in January 2011, Stiller spilled a few plot details about the sequel, and that he and Jennifer Aniston's soon-to-be-hubby Theroux had handed a finished script to studio bosses for consideration.
"Now the studio has the script and we're at that point where we're waiting to see what they want to do," he shared.
"It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe," Stiller added. "I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel (Owen Wilson) ten years later - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them."
Stiller also confirmed that Will Ferrell, who played evil fashion guru Jacobim Mugatu in the original, would be back for the second film.
"Will Ferrell is written into the script and he's expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way."
The jungle drums were also beating last year with a rumour that Lady Gaga had been offered a juicy role in the sequel.
Per The Sun, the lady of perpetual sartorial commotion had been tapped to play Stiller's love interest, for a hefty US$4.8 million no less.
"Gaga is top of their wish-list. She has the talent and attitude - and an amazing sense of humour," a source told the tabloid.
Stiller later piped up and put the kibosh on the Gaga casting rumour.
"Zoolander Lady Gaga story is not true," he shared on Twitter. "Weird that Ok magazine would print something untrue. Weird to read a made up story on the internet."
Freakishly weird.
Stay tuned for updates.

Re: the injections...are they administered in the docs office, once a month or are they something you do at home on a regular basis? Are there any side effects? I've heard something like 50,000. that sounds insane given the 4000 I've been taken by mouth.
If it turns out you've been taking the D2, and want to try D3, he very strongly states that only the GEL caps work, that VitD3 tablets do not work.
|OBJECTIVE: The aim was to document the 25(OH)D status of healthy individuals with habitually high sun exposure.
SETTING: This study was conducted in a convenience sample of adults in Honolulu, Hawaii
PARTICIPANTS: The study population consisted of 93 adults (30 women and 63 men) with a mean (sem) age and body mass index of 24.0 yr (0.7) and 23.6 kg/m(2) (0.4), respectively. Their self-reported sun exposure was 28.9 (1.5) h/wk
...51% of this population had low vitamin D status.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that variable responsiveness to UVB radiation is evident among individuals, causing some to have low vitamin D status despite abundant sun exposure.
Carlson makes a D3 from fish oil, which is the only form I would trust. Personally I do high vitamin cod liver oil. Vitamin A *from natural food forms* only approaches danger at 100,000IU/day over some time. Vitamin A is toxic and teratogenic at lower levels based on studies done with the synthetic form (such as retinyl palmitate) and caused modern medicine to tar all vitamin A with the same brush. It's a travesty. But I digress...

My plans for the next week?
Simple. Slow. Low expectations. Ahhh…
Last week I wrote about attacking the clutter and sifting through our possessions, following along with the book Spring Cleaning for Normal People (and Biblical Womanhood's 10 week challenge).
Though I still fully intend to do this, I realized that at 14 weeks, my pregnant body is not quite as ready as I thought. I don't know about you, but I find it easy to push myself too hard. I like to set high expectations, probably higher than the expectations that others have of me. I don't allow myself a lot of time to just rest, relax, slow down or enjoy.
Though I am beginning to feel much better, this first week back to more regular cooking and kitchen food prep (and the extra kitchen cleaning that accompanies it) was more than enough. I thought I was ready to move back into my "productivity" mode, but when each afternoon found me dragging and practically asleep on the family room couch, and a morning of cooking and washing dishes left me physically exhausted, I realized that my body was trying to tell me something- "I'm still tired! Slow down!"
A friend reminded me at our homeschooling meeting last week that my feelings of being overwhelmed right now (because that's how I was feeling- overwhelmed, and so far behind I'd never get caught up) might have something to do with my expectations, the ones that I (and nobody else!) place on myself. She gently reminded me that God knows the season I am in, and He doesn't ask more of me than I am able to do. He doesn't lay burdens on me that I can't carry.
Quite often, I find that it's me who does all the burden-laying around here. My husband is so reasonable in what he expects of me during these difficult weeks and months- a relatively tidy (but not sparkling clean) house as much as possible, clean socks and underwear, the children's basic needs taken care of and being taught or read to as I am able, and basic food on the table. That's it! Even my 4 year old daughter keeps trying to do chores she doesn't really know how to do (bless her heart!), so that "you don't have to work because you're sick, Mommy".
Who creates the pressure to make healthier, more homemade meals than I've been making? To get the house as clean as possible for hosting caregroup, so that no one would ever know that I'm not quite up to snuff? To keep up with blog posting six days a week, despite the loss of half of my regular blogging time due to needing more sleep than usual? To start spring cleaning and decluttering before I'm even back into my regular daily and weekly routines?
Oh wait. That would be me! I think I got the point, and let's just say that I have allowed myself to slow down these past few days, and give myself a bit more grace for easing back into more regular life and duties.
Do you struggle with placing high or unrealistic expectations on yourself? How do you find that this affects your stress level? your attitude? your family? What helps you to release those expectations and lighten the burdens that you carry?
Living Simply Saturdays are an opportunity to share what is bringing more simplicity and purposefulness to your own life, and to glean from the lives of others.

Created by Christina Jennings, the Canadian sci-fi suspenser ReGenesis tackled the up-to-date subject of bioterrorism - specifically bioterrorism generated by the fantastic scientific advances made during the early 21st century. Peter Outerbridge starred as David Sandstrom, chief scientist and molecular biologist for the North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission. Popularly known as NorBAC, this commissioned had been created to investigate (and in some cases terminate) examples of questionable biotechnology. Though mankind had advanced to the point of being able to create "perfect" food, luxury items and even babies in the lab, not everyone was motivated by altruism,and there were plenty of madmen and terrorists with deep pockets who intended to use high-tech science for evil purposes. Though the series was essentially an action thriller, several hot-button ethical and political questions were raised in the course of events (though few were actually resolved). Other members of the multinational NorBAC team included Conrad Pla) as geneticist-medical doctor Carlos Serrano, Dmitry Chepovetsky as biochemist Bob Melnikov and Mayko Nguyen as bioinformatics researcher Mayko Tran. Sarah Strange was seen during the first season as NorBAC's lead viroligist (and David Sandstrom's erstwhile lover) Jill Langston; she was replaced beginning with the second season by Wendy Crewson as Rachel Woods. Similarly, Maxim Roy was originally cast as NorBAC's executive director Caroline Morrison, only to be killed off and subsequently replaced by Greg Byrk as Weston Field. Appearing occasionally was Geraint Wyn Davies as NobBAC's White House-based science advisor Carleton Riddlemeyer. Boasting the input of Canadian molecular biologist Alec Edwards as the series' chief scientic consultant, ReGenesis debuted simultaneously on Canada's Movie Central and The Movie Network cable services the week of October 24, 2004; it would be distributed to several other nations before finally entering US syndication in the fall of 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Conan is an American late-night talk show airing each Monday through Thursday on TBS in the United States. The hour-long show premiered on November 8, 2010, and is hosted by writer, comedian and performer Conan O'Brien. The program's host previously starred on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien for 16 years, then presented The Tonight Show for seven months until Jay Leno's return to his version of The Tonight Show due to the 2010 Tonight Show conflict.
Describing itself as a traditional late-night talk show, Conan draws its comedy from recent news stories, political figures and prominent celebrities, as well as aspects of the show itself. The show typically opens with a monologue from Conan O'Brien relating to recent headlines and frequently features exchanges with his sidekick, Andy Richter, and members of the audience. The next segment is devoted to a celebrity interview, with guests ranging from actors and musicians to media personalities and political figures. The show then closes with either a musical or comedy performance.
In January 2010, after The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien had been on the air for seven months, it was announced that NBC intended to move Jay Leno from primetime back to his original timeslot, with O'Brien's show starting shortly after midnight. Following a brief conflict, NBC announced that they had paid $45 million to buy out O'Brien's contract, ending his relationship with the network. Months after his official leave, O'Brien went on a comedy tour called The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour, which was largely inspired by the outpouring of support for O'Brien on the Internet during the conflict. It was announced on the first day of the tour that O'Brien would be joining TBS in November.
On TBS, Conan airs Mondays through Thursdays beginning at 11:00 p.m. eastern time, and is immediately followed by reruns of The Office. The show had been followed by comedian George Lopez's talk show, Lopez Tonight, until its final episode on August 11, 2011. Comedian and actor Andy Richter continues his role as sidekick to O'Brien, and as the show's announcer. Conan's long-time house band continues with the host under the new moniker Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band, with Max Weinberg being replaced as bandleader by guitarist Jimmy Vivino and as drummer by regular substitute James Wormworth, both of whom regularly substituted for Weinberg during his brief departures.

Cathie Black started touring schools the day after the State Education Department granted her a waiver to become our next chancellor, despite the fact neither she nor her kids ever stepped foot in a public school building.
She looked startled at what she was seeing, as if she were in an alien environment. That's because she was.
Those of you who read this space on a regular basis know how I feel about the "pure manager" myth, which holds that a good manager can manage anything, even a business he or she knows nothing about. That myth has been pushed by the MBA mills and by millionaire business people, but everybody else knows that the myth is just that – a story made up to justify doing what should not be done.
A couple of cautionary tales from my own pantheon of stupidity.
From 1970 to 1979 I wrote and edited school publications and workbooks for American Education Publications (owned and run by Wesleyan University in Connecticut) and its successor, Xerox Education Publications.
AEP was the publisher of Weekly Reader, one of the most successful school publications in history. When I got to the company in 1970, the total Weekly Reader subscriptions ran to about 12.5 million. The company was run by Elaine Wonsavage, a former teacher and administrator, and staffed mostly with ex-teachers such as myself. New publications were being brought on line every year, nurtured by people who had actually taught special and elementary education, secondary school English and science.
The company flourished, and it was making so much money that the feds came along and warned that the university could lose its tax exempt status because of the massive earnings of its publishing business.
Wesleyan cut a deal with Xerox. For a large chunk of Xerox stock, the copier company got control of one of the top school publishers in the nation.
Xerox quickly moved to put its own imprint on the company, which was changed on day one from AEP to XEP.
Top managers from the machine division were brought in and editors were hired from failed newspapers rather than from schools.
Within four years, the circulation of Weekly Reader fell to 2.5 million and many of the newly-minted publications started in the final years of AEP were scrapped as not being cost-effective, at least by Xerox standards.
Some of the drop was due to the economy and cuts in school funding, but most was due to the stupidity of the managers, who knew lots about machines, but nothing about either publishing or education.
For example, a decision was made to save money by taking the staples out of the multi-page upper grade Weekly Reader editions. Those teachers who were still on board warned the managers that taking the staples out of the papers would make the paper less useful to teachers because the magazines were given out by students or passed around, and the pages would get separated in that process. The managers laughed, but thousands of teachers cancelled their subscriptions, asking that the staples be reinstated. The pure managers who were successful in the machine division, a business they knew inside and out, were abject failures at educational publishing, an area in which they were completely in the dark. Eventually, XEP went broke and it was sold to a college textbook publisher and then to Scholastic, which is now the largest school periodical publisher in the nation.
Another example.
When I first began teaching in 1965 after my discharge from the U.S. Navy, I was assigned to JHS 198 in Arverne. While I enjoyed teaching, I didn't want to be so close to home in my first assignment as a substitute, so I asked for a transfer and wound up at JHS 296 in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
As a new teacher, there was little chance that I would teach my chosen subject, social studies, so I wound up teaching science in a mostly-veteran, experienced department. One of the units in the seventh grade Biology curriculum was the movement of blood around the body.
I was teaching a lesson one day when a deputation from the parent's association came visiting to take a look at the school's new teachers. I had several kids in the back doing jumping jacks and several others just sitting at their desks, reading quietly. The lesson I had devised called for the kids to measure and record their pulse rates after exercise and at rest to come to the conclusion that the blood moved faster around the body with activity.
The parents, however, not being educators, had no idea what they were seeing. When they got out into the hallway, they demanded that I be fired because I could not handle the students. After all, a bunch of them were jumping around in the back of the room, obviously out of control.
The assistant principal who was escorting them knew exactly what the lesson was all about and assured them that there was an educational purpose, explaining to them about the movement of blood around the body.
Had the AP not known that was going on, I might well have been fired on the spot.
You've got to know the territory.
What has this to do with Cathie Black? Not only does she not know the territory at all, she seems to have a great disdain for those who do.
Last week she told The Daily News editorial board that she is still not sure that she would ever send her kids to public school. That is like the publisher of the New York Post saying she never reads the paper.
Black should go back to the publishing world, a world that she obviously knows well, and somebody who knows about education – who has been a longtime teacher, a successful principal and a district supervisor should take over the public school system – somebody who knows the territory.

We met Sir Clifford again at lunch as planned and I was
determined to have the truth from him. His military
career, if he had any, and why he had failed to inform us
that his home was now a gambling den. But my plans
were thrown into disarray as the lord of the manor entered
the dining room in a wheelchair pushed by one of the most
(The second part of our thrilling Serial)
stunning women I had ever clapped eyes on.
"This," Sir Clifford announced, "is Constance, Lady
Chetterley, my wife."
My immediate reaction was to bow in obeisance to this
vision of loveliness but Holms gripped my cuff and kept
me erect. He strode forward, dragging me with him, and
struck a hand out to the lady.
"Delighted to make your acquaintance, Lady Chetterley,"
he grunted boorishly, "I am Sherman Holms and this is
my colleague, Dr Wilson, who is here to investigate your husband's medical condition."
A brief frown flickered across her beautiful brow as she took the detective's hand. "Sherman Holms, I know that
name," she whispered and her voice was as sweet as her countenance.
"I have some repute as a criminal investigator," Holms explained, "but I am here by way of a holiday as I imagine
nothing of a criminal nature happens in such a lovely part of the world."
"Crime?" said the stunning creature, "No, we have nothing of that sort here. Please gentlemen, be seated."
She gestured us to our chairs and as I took mine I ran my eyes over her and enjoyed every moment of the experience.
She had long, blonde locks that flowed down past her shoulders; grey, mysterious, eyes, high cheekbones and a
cupid's bow of a mouth. She was dressed plainly, in a woollen cardigan and tweed skirt but had the shape and
deportment of an athlete. She caught me staring at her and blushed which, in turn, made me ashamed of my
behaviour. But, I excused myself, a woman as beautiful as she must be used to being stared at. Still, I was not
so besotted that I did not spare a mite of admiration for Holms and his claim that he was a 'criminal' investigator.
His emphasis on this criminal aspect would surely defuse any suspicion she might have that we were there to
investigate her own behaviour.
As was his wont we had no sooner finished the soup than he had begun his subtle interrogation of the lamed
"With the ethics of his profession the good Doctor has told me naught of your ailment, Sir Clifford," he said
casually. "Perhaps, while retaining as much as you think necessary, you could enlighten me."
I could swear that Sir Clifford's pale skin reddened a little. "It is no great mystery, Mr Holms. I was serving my
country in Afghanistan when I was foolish enough to step on an IED, a primitive landmine, and was unfortunate
enough to have a quantity of shrapnel enter my legs."
"You were in the army then?" I blurted, eager to catch him out in his falsehood.

We have had a virtual news blackout on what is going on in the two states we're waiting for -- Missouri's presidential results, and Alaska's senatorial results. Here is what I managed to find out.

More and more, it is looking like Virginia will be the state that decides Election Night in Obama's favor. Sure, it could be Florida or Ohio, but my guess is that the vote-counting is going to take a while in both of them,

I started blogging over two years ago. That is to say, right about the time the 2008 presidential campaign began.

I have to admit, that's a pretty provocative title. And enumerating the poultry before they emerge from the ova is always risky... as the saying goes.
Whatever you believe about Bill Ayers and the Weathermen, the fact remains that he is not running for president. But John McCain doesn't really have any other arrows left in his quiver.
I refuse to get too wrapped up in the question of who "won" the debate. In general, unless one candidate obviously self-destructs, this question is answered subjectively and personally. That's not to say I didn't think Biden did better. I did.
Barack Obama has made some gains since last week, to put it mildly. While he hasn't wildly increased his Strong numbers, at least the trend is in the right direction.
I have to at least try to defend the point she was (so badly) trying to make. Alaska was on the front lines of the Cold War. It's a valid point, especially with a newly-resurgent and newly-belligerent Russia.

Comphensive Guide to Accessory Nutrients and Essential Oils HTML version
Meschino Health Comprehensive Guide to Accessory Nutrients and Essential Oils
Accessory Nutrients and Essential Oils
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)
General Features
Evening primrose oil, black currant oil and borage oil contain Gamma-Linolenic Acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid is a precursor in the synthesis of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which is known to have anti-
inflammatory properties.1 Thus, Gamma-Linolenic supplementation has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.2
The body can synthesize Gamma-Linolenic Acid from linolenic acid (found in many vegetable oils), however people
with certain conditions appear to have a defect in the delta-6 desaturase enzyme that converts linolenic acid (LA) to
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). Patients with premenstrual syndrome, diabetes, scleroderma, Sjogren's Syndrome,
Tardive Dyskinesia, eczema, and other skin conditions tend to have this metabolic block and research demonstrates
that supplementation with a medicinal oil, rich in GLA, has helped people with these conditions.
Furthermore, the delta-6 desaturase enzyme requires vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc as cofactors to convert LA to
Suboptimal status of these micronutrients also impairs the conversion of LA to GLA, as does the presence of trans-
fatty acids and alcohol in the diet.3-15
There is also evidence that an excess intake of LA stimulates conversion of GLA to arachidonic acid via the delta-5
desaturase enzyme. Arachidonic acid is proinflammatory and contributes to cardiovascular risk and other health
Nevertheless, supplementation with oils that contain Gamma-Linolenic Acid have shown them to be of benefit for
certain conditions.11-15
As a general reference, evening primrose oil contains 9 percent Gamma-Linolenic Acid, borage seed oil is 22 percent
GLA and black currant seed oil is 22 percent GLA and also contains 13 percent omega-3 fatty acids as alpha-linolenic
Supplementation Studies and Clinical Application
1. Diabetic Neuropathy
Supplementation with Gamma-Linolenic acid-containing oil has been shown to help repair diabetic neuropathy and
prevent nerve damage in diabetics as evidenced by placebo-controlled studies.
Objective parameters, including nerve conduction studies, sensation and reflex testing were used to verify the
neurological improvement. Diabetics have a decreased ability to convert LA to GLA, which is important for nerve
cell membrane structure and impulse conduction. Supplementation of oils yielding as little as 240 to 480 mg of
GLA have shown proven benefit in the prevention and treatment of diabetic neuropathy.17
2. Arthritis and Joint Inflammatory Diseases
Some studies have demonstrated that supplementation with evening primrose oil or black currant oil can
significantly reduce symptoms and signs of rheumatoid arthritis in double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized
Other studies have failed to show improvement and researchers attribute this failure to the ability of GLA to raise
tissue levels of arachidonic acid, while reducing cell membrane concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids. In these

Any pointers would be really appreciated.
Oh, the webserver is for a k-12 school system and serves primarily web pages and a medium amount of database content with some streaming video (not a huge demand, but will possibly grow in the future)
Most of the directories are not going to take up that much space, so your 900gigs is going to be enormous.
I'd probably do something like allocate 5 to 10 gigs to a partition each for /usr, /var, /etc. Then throw the bulk of the space into a partition for /home (for your users). So if someone goes nuts and eats up your home directory space, it won't shut your server down because /var has no more room.

Hightower Washington The interna- tional monetary fund today advised dollar-short countries to devalue their currencies, if need be, to boost their dollar earning- exports. Without singling out the British pound but with Britain's dollar crisis obviously in mind, the re- port was laid before the opening session of the fourth annual meet- ing of the boards of governors of the multibillion dollar fund, and world bank. Shortly thereafter, the financial leaders of the 48 member nations were to hear an off-the-cuff address by President Truman.

As president, Heuss will name the chancellor (prime minister) perhaps today or tomorrow. The 73-year-old Adenauer heads the Christian Democratic Union, strongest party in the right-wing coalition. It was the Christian Democratic vote that won the presidency for Heuss who leads the coalition's sec- ond strongest party, the Free Dem- ocrats. The result was victory for the combined Adenauer-Heuss forces over the socialist opposition. The socialists, supporting Chairman Dr. Kurt Schumacher, set out to make the election a. test of strength but they lasted only one round. Heuss was elected on the second ballot with 416 votes out of 800. This left Adenauer in clear con- trol, backed by a majority in the parliament, the president and the coalition cabinet he will form. Adenauer already has played such a leading role in fashioning the new republic that some of his most ardent supporters have mut- tered occasionally about a "one man show." From the time the Bonn conven- tion began writing the republic's constitution a year ago. Adenauer has been the most dominant figure in German politics. He presided over the convention as chairman, actively directing its course. One of his major victories in the constitutional convention was the selection of Bonn as the capital. When the August election gave Adenauer's party a plurality in parliament he worked out the coal- ition with the Free Democrats and the German party which gave him a scant majority. Impressed by the force of the rightist coalition, a small band of West German communists appeal- ed last night to the socialists to join them in a common front against "reactionaries." So far the communist bid for an alliance has been ignored by the from the rest of the city. It had been installed for just such an emergency.

Dr. P. A. Mattison and Dr. Philip Heise, directors from the first and third wards, respectively, were ab- sent, but seven members present voted to hold the line on the ten- mill figure. The school board's ac- tion Monday night will provide for the addition of an estimated 000 to the sinking fund during the 1950-51 fiscal year. The levy authorized by the board doubles the present five-mill levy in effect at the present time. It was approved in the face of a city coun- cil request that the figure be cut to two mills "until such a time that a definite building program has been drafted."

Jun 15, 2005 at 3:21 am #1216274
jacob thompsonMember
So I guess most people out there have their own technique for walking. And I guess most of us are still looking to improve this to make the miles more comfortable.
For a while now I've been running as well to try and increase my fitness and endurance for long milage days. I've always found that it just seems too taxing when doing lots of miles. So in an effort to try and find better styles to run I came across this website.
I did a lot of reading and read reviews of similar styles and eventually decided to buy the book and read into it I do realise at this point that I am talking about trail running and this is not the focus of this website. However, I emailed the author of the book and asked him if there was any way of converting this theory of running into a walk. He replied stating that soon there will be a release of a DVD showing the technique being transformed into walking called chiwalking.
I have done a little bit of t'ai chi in my time (being the hippy that I am) and I have no reason to doubt that it can't be put into a walking and running form. For those of you who don't feel like going to the site and reading away I will just write a brief summary of what the style entails.
The method that he describes is a way of positioning and holding the body so that the muscles in the legs can relax whilst the body tilts foward and lets gravity pull it along. This relieves the stress that heel striking and overly contracted and tense muscles cause.
In the email that I recieved from him he told me that he thought that it would be possible to incorporate the chi walking into a hiking walk. Once I have recieved the package and have practised it for a while I will report back on my findings. I feel confident that this method will be able to help make long days seem less stressful on the legs and help to prevent injuries that occur.
I am always interested in techniques to improve backcountry comfort. So if anyone else has any techniques they use whilst walking, bring it on.Jun 15, 2005 at 2:38 pm #1338165

I'd be real interested to hear how you do with ChiRunning. Some of it sounds similar to the race walking form (not over striding, landing your forward foot closer to your body, etc). But there are some obvious differences as well (midfoot vs heel strikes, leaning forward in ChiRunning). Let us know when the ChiWalking book is out.
I did a few searches on the Ultra list archives, and found a few mentions of ChiRunning, most positive, especially w/ runners with former injuries.
I'm most skeptical of the forward lean in this technique. It seems if you're really using gravity to help you move forward, that would only help until you hit the ground. Seriously, I would think that for gravity to help, you'd have to have your body "fall" forward, but then you'd have to lift your body up again before the next stride can take similar advantage. Seems like wasted up and down motion.

Sorry for a late reply, I've been on the AT for the past month. I hope you'll share some more about 'chi-hiking' when you've had some time to try it out.
Because I tend to do higher-mileage days, I also try to introduce variety into my strides to keep things fresh. One of my 'discoveries' last month was using a stride similar to the way racewalkers move–with lots of hip motion. I don't rely on it as my main walking motion, but it is nice to mix things up. I've used it with success on climbs, flats, and drops. I'll have to play with it more to see if there are actually any efficiency benefits for different types of terrain. I do know that it is often a welcome change, and does seem a bit less demanding on the calves.
Another method I use is taking downhills pretty quickly. I despise long, drawn-out descents, so I try to keep my momentum going as much as possible. On more level descents, I'll often go into an easy jog, just leaning and letting gravity pull me forward. I try to avoid a direct heel-strike. On steeper descents, the more extreme body motion comes into play–I try to use my arms/poles and everything below my ribcage to absorb the impact. Ankles limber, knees flexed, body low, hips swiveling. Looks goofy, but it works for me.
Also, walking backwards is kind of fun.

PHOTOS: Mehndi ceremony of Atif Aslam and Sarah Bharwana
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Mar 29, 2013, 12:20 PM IST
Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is all set to tie the knot with Sara Bharwana today. The wedding of the skilled singer, who was last seen in 'Sur-Kshetra', will see the attendance of family members, relatives, social elite and the popular personalities from the world of music.
According to reports, the mehndi ceremony of Atif Aslam was held at a club in Lahore on Tuesday evening.
His beau Sarah completed her education from Kinnaird College. If sources are to be believed, Sarah and Atif have known each other for close to seven years. While the wedding is scheduled for March 28, his valima will be held at the same venue on 29 March.
The Pakistani pop singer was recently in news when he behaved in a rather rude way with his iconic singer and co-judge Asha Bhosle.
Asha, who took his behavior in a sportingly, gave up when he went beyond the bounds of courtesy and walked out of the show. Apparently, Sahara India's CEO Boney Kapoor had to intervene and persuade to get her back on the show.
In one of the interviews, Ashaji said, "It's just drama and masala to get viewers' attention. Atif is a very good boy. And so handsome. He touched my feet at the beginning of the show and said I was like his mother. Yes, we did have some initial differences. But nothing major,just like a mother bickering with her child."
But 'Sur Kshetra' producer Gajendra Singh said, "Atif's conduct with Ashaji was not proper. We were all shocked and wondered why he was behaving this way. Finally matters came to a head and Ashaji walked out of the show for a couple of weeks. Two people persuaded her to return. One was Boney Kapoor and the other was Ashaji's niece Rachana Shah. If they hadn't mediated God knows what we'd have done. Ashaji is like the foundation and touchstone of the show."
Take a look at his mehndi ceremony…

KENT, Ohio -- Goals by freshman forward Adrienne Hortillosa (Chula Vista, Calif./Bonita Vista HS) and sophomore defender Kristi Gannon (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual HS), plus the stellar play of senior goalkeeper Maureen Tasch (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS), gave the University of Michigan its first NCAA team championship in a women's sport as the Wolverines field hockey team posted a 2-0 win over top-ranked Maryland on Sunday (Nov. 18) in the NCAA championship game at Kent State's Dix Stadium.
With the win, seventh-ranked Michigan (18-5) becomes the second team from the Midwest to capture the NCAA title, joining 1986 champion Iowa. In addition, the Wolverines avenged a 2-1 loss to the Terrapins in the 1999 NCAA championship game.
The Wolverines' defense, which has held opponents to just six shots per game this season, survived a shelling by Maryland as the Terrapins unloaded 20 shots, including 11 in the second half. Eleven of the Terps' total shots made it on net, where Tasch was there to knock them away en route to her eighth shutout of the season, setting the U-M school record for shutouts in a single campaign.
Michigan was on the defensive for the majority of the first period as Maryland peppered the U-M defense with nine shots and had the Wolverines pinned in their own end for the bulk of the first 35 minutes. Michigan suffered a blow to its defense when sophomore Stephanie Johnson (Houston, Texas/The Kinkaid School) was taken out of the game after she was hit in the face on a Maryland penalty corner, but the Wolverines held on as Tasch made seven saves in the first 35 minutes to keep the Terrapins scoreless.
With time winding down in the first half and the Wolverines attempting a penalty corner, Hortillosa put U-M up 1-0, tipping in a pass from sophomore Kristi Gannon (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual HS). Gannon received the ball from senior defender Catherine Foreman (Happy Valley, South Australia/Westminster School) and fed it across the circle to a wide-open Hortillosa, who tipped it into the empty cage.
The Wolverines took a 2-0 lead just under six minutes into the second half on its only penalty corner attempt of the period when Gannon unleashed a blast from the top of the circle, which caromed off Maryland keeper Ashley Hohnstine into the back of the cage. Foreman and senior midfielder Ali Balmer (Ephrata, Pa./Ephrata HS) were credited with assists.
Maryland had a chance to pull within one late in the second half when sophomore forward April Fronzoni (Larksville, Pa./Wyoming Valley West HS) was issued a yellow card at 11:33, giving the Terrapins a one-player advantage for over five minutes. Maryland took a number of its seven second-half penalty corners during that time, but each time the defense stepped up and cleared the ball.
Tasch, Gannon, Hortillosa, Johnson and Fronzoni were named to the NCAA All-Tournament team, joining Maryland's Dana Rizzo, Autumn Welsh, Colleen Barbieri and Caroline Walter, as well as Wake Forest's Kelly Doton and Heather Auginbaugh.
Scoring, Time (Assist)
1st -- U-M, Adrienne Hortillosa, 2:13 (Kristi Gannon)
2nd -- U-M, Gannon, 29:30 (Catherine Forman, Ali Balmer)
Shots: Michigan 5-1--6, Maryland 9-11--20
Saves: Michigan 7-4--11 (Maureen Tasch), Maryland 2-0--0 (Ashley Hohnstine)
Defensive Saves: None
Penalty Corners: U-M 3-1--4, Maryland 3-7--10
Penalty Strokes: None
Michigan's NCAA championship is the first by a women's team sports in school history, and is the 51st national team title in U-M athletics history. The Wolverines' title is the first for Michigan since the men's gymnastics team won the 1999 crown.
Michigan's win over Maryland was its first-ever victory over the Terrapins. During its NCAA title run, U-M posted wins for the first time over North Carolina, Princeton and Maryland.
Each victory in the NCAA Tournament came against a team ranked at least as high as the Wolverines, who were tied for seventh in the last STX/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll. U-M defeated No. 4 North Carolina, No. 7 Michigan State, No. 6 Princeton and No. 1 Maryland.
Maureen Tasch posted her eighth shutout of the season, setting a U-M single-season record for shutouts in a campaign.
Michigan remained perfect on Sundays this season, improving its record to 10-0.
Adrienne Hortillosa netted her team-high sixth game-winning goal of the season in the victory.
U-M Head Coach Marcia Pankratz
On the game ... "I'm very proud of our team. Maryland has such tremendous talent and they're a wonderful team, and to go out and play them for the national championship and be victorious has me thrilled. Our team effort included everybody, and that's how it's been all year. We don't have any superstars, we just have a team that plays hard and plays well together."
On Michigan's first women's national championship ... "I'm just happy to bring another one home for the Wolverines. Men's program, women's programs, revs, non-revs, it doesn't matter. We're just really proud to be a part of the University and they've given us so much tremendous support to help us be successful, and we're just happy we're able to bring home a championship."
On playing without Stephanie Johnson for the majority of the first half ... "We're very versatile and we play very much like a team, so when one of our defense and our corner-strikers goes out of the match, we were able to really adjust well. People covered each other and were able to play other positions when we needed them to, and we stayed calm."
Sophomore Defender Stephanie Johnson
On beating the No. 1 team ... "Having gone through the last month of ups and downs with our team, we came out this season thinking we should be the No. 1 team. We played like we were for a month at the beginning of the season, had the ups and downs in the middle, and learned what it took to be a No. 1 team at that point in time. The No. 1 team coming in today maybe hadn't had the adversity to relish the position we had been in, so we knew what sort of rare opportunity we had been presented with. We had a lot of momentum going in our direction in the last couple of weeks, and it's a great feeling to go out there and do that today."
Junior Forward Jessica Rose
On the game ... "The first half I thought we had things in control. They really came at us in the first five minutes and I think we got our jitters out, settled ourselves, got back in it and put a goal in the cage. The last 20 minutes of the game they really had us on our heels and were pressing hard. Maryland's such a great team, but Mo (Tasch) and Steph (Johnson) were great back there, and everybody stepped up. It was a team effort."
Senior Goalkeeper Maureen Tasch
On her shutout ... "At this level, so late in the season, I thought it wasn't going to happen anymore and I was done with those. They put an awful lot of pressure on and were very skilled, but we were relentless back there with the defenders tackling back."

Our group formed in 2002 to provide care for members of our community in case of any disaster that would overwhelm the resources of the fire department and clinics, and very likely isolate us by interruption of ferry service. We are affiliated with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue and VashonBePrepared. Our group includes medical professionals, such as MD, RN, NP Paramedics, EMTs,MA, DVM, and counselors. As of Oct. 2008 we also partner with the Seattle-King County Public Health MRC which provides county-wide coordination.
When the Island is cut off during an earthquake or other disaster we need to be trained to step in and help in a planned manner. You can be part of that team-whether you're licensed, retired or just interested we can help you help your neighbors.
Join us, it's interesting, it's fun and it's important! You'll be asked to participate in three training a year (most will offer continuing education credits) and one Island wide drill. The Vashon Health Center is set up for basic medical while the Penny Farcy building will be the trauma center.
You can also join the Medical Reserve Corps, which will train you in setting up and running a temporary field hospital, a medication center and other emergency operations. The MRC also helps with funds for equipment, training and liability coverage while you volunteer. Check out our page below for more info. We hold periodic training classes on the Island.
Email us at Volunteer (at) VashonBePrepared.org or call Assistant Fire Chief George Brown at 463-2405.
NACCHO has developed two videos to spread the word about the work of the MRC in communities across the country! The first video is a short promotion that can be used to recruit volunteers and is suitable for local TV networks. The second video is a longer overview about the scope of the MRC's volunteer activities and is great to share with your community's political and business leaders, partners, and stakeholders. Learn more about Medical Reserve Corps units throughout the U.S.

The world's fastest roads may be arrow-straight stretches of pavement where any lead foot can haul ass, but motorcyclists know the world's best roads have curves, and lots of them.
It helps if the roads have great scenery and no cops, and smooth pavement is always a plus. Ideally, the curves go on for miles and miles, but even a short stretch of twisties can be exhilarating — there's a 7-mile stretch of road in the Oakland Hills we could ride all day if we had to.
Anyone who's spent time on a motorcycle has a favorite road. Here are some of ours. Tell us some of yours.
Because we're in San Francisco, most of our faves are in NorCal. But we've spent some time riding in the southeast, so we included a couple of sweet ones from there, too.
- Stewart's Point, Skagg's Spring Road between Stewart's Point and Geyserville, California. This road's got it all, from long smooth sweepers to tight bumpy bits with decreasing radius turns. It goes on for 43 miles, so it'll test your skills as well as your stamina.
- Mines Road and San Antonio Road between Livermore and San Jose by way of Lick Observatory. This one's popular with local riders, and with good reason — the curves just go on and on for the better part of 70 miles. There's very little traffic and rarely any cops, but it's farm country, so you'll occasionally come across a pickup truck or random cow in the road. Editor's note: After this post went up, we received an e-mail from an astronomer — and rider — at Lick who asks that fellow riders restrict their noise and speed within a few miles of the observatory so as not to disturb the astronomers, most of whom sleep during the day.
- Highways 36, 3 and 299 from
HuntsvilleHydesville to Blue Lake, California. Highway 36 is legendary among NorCal riders who consider it 140 miles of riding Nirvana. Yes, it's that good. But to make it better, swing north at Highway 3 and then go west on 299. A stretch of this 208-mile ride through redwood country is called the Trinity Scenic Byway, and with good reason — it's gorgeous.
- Highway 129 between Chilohowee, Tennessee and Tapoca, North Carolina, also known as Deal's Gap and The Dragon. This one's obvious — it's so popular there's a freakin' resort at one end of it – and we've always thought it a bit over-rated, but you really can't complain about any road that boasts
311318 curves in 11 miles. Be sure to check out the Tree of Shame and the bulletin board full of photos.
- Highway 15 between Sutton and Valley Head, West Virginia. A lot of east coast riders call this one of the best roads you'll find. Tight turns give way to long sweepers as the road skirts Monongahela National Forest, with amazing scenery the entire way. The road starts in nowhere and ends in nowhere, but then, the best roads always do.
Share your favorite road with us — submit your fave by clicking "add" on the map. Create start and end points, then trace the route by clicking on the icon on the start marker. The road can be anywhere in the world.
