What do trees and chimps have in common? Well, not very much. One is a plant, the other is an animal, and they don't look very much alike. But, trees and chimps truly rely on each other- a symbiotic relationship that makes one dependent on the other. Chimps need trees for food and shelter, and in turn, the chimps eat fruit from the trees and pollinate the seeds throughout the rest of the forest.
People and chimps have at least one thing in common- they both need to eat! In the Kibale Forest region of Uganda, where both chimps and people live, this can cause big problems. While the chimps can dine on leaves and fruit in the raw, people need to cook their food, and their preferred fuel for their fires is wood- wood that comes from trees where the chimps live and eat. More people means more food, which means fewer trees and fewer chimps. In Kibale, some people started asking if this trade-off was really necessary- if we could have food for people and a home for chimps.
The result has been a fabulous program called the Kibale Fuel Wood Project. Supported by the Oakland Zoo since 2006, this innovative program has developed a few strategies for helping people learn about their natural resource while leaving trees behind for the chimps. This has included planting fast growing native trees for firewood use, a community science center where people can visit, and movie nights in local villages. But my favorite program this outfit runs is one of its newest- fuel briquettes made from trash!
On our recent teen trip to Uganda, 16 of our Oakland Zoo teen volunteers got the opportunity to learn first hand how these round little briquettes get made! First, we start with raw materials- organic trash donated by the villagers. This can include peanut shells, newspaper, wood chips and other natural materials. By donating this unneeded trash, the villagers get finished fuel bricks in return- while also getting rid of their waste in a helpful way.
Next, the materials need to be ground up and prepped. This involves grinding it up using a big mortar and pestle like contraption- and let me tell you, it takes some practice!
The ground shells and newspaper then get soaked in water and mixed together in a big bowl, making a chunky, soupy mixture. This is then put into the specially made mold.
Once the mix is ready, the water needs to be squeezed out. To do this, you place the mold in a big wooden press. Pushing the handle down puts pressure on the mold, and the excess water quickly runs out the bottom into the bowl below.
Now, all you have to do is pull the mold out and pop out your finished round briquettes! After drying in the sun, canola seeds will be added so that the oils will make the bricks burn hotter, making them more efficient.
The best part of the day- when we all got to enjoy a delicious lunch cooked for us over a fire of fuel briquettes! Tasty, delicious…and eco-friendly! Thanks to all at the Kibale Fuel Wood Project, especially project coordinator Margaret Kemigisa. We had a great time!

Evolution Hoax
We did not wrong them; rather they wronged themselves... (Surah Hud, 101)
People tend first to blame other people rather than themselves whenever they encounter a difficulty. They maintain that they have made mistakes because of something done by other people. Whereas they should be seeking the real problem within themselves. Because the material and spiritual harm that one can inflict on oneself can assume far greater dimensions than that stemming from other people.Satan and lower self are entities specially created by God in order to test us. To the end of one's life they strive to lead one into negativity. Allowing oneself to be misled by any of the promptings of satan or one's lower selfs can result in the very gravest harm.
God has revealed in the Qur'an that everyone who seeks refuge in Him and who thinks in the light of the Qur'an can easily be saved from these negative promptings. Wasting time on false whisperings, negative feelings and a mindset inspired by satan that shatters one's courage and leaves one in a state of bewilderment seriously impinges on one's physical and mental vitality and, most important of all, is incompatible with Qur'anic moral values.
It is wrong for a believer to allow himself to be bound hand and foot by such a state of affairs that obviously originates from satan. It is the height of stupidity to knowingly allow oneself to be drawn into a system that will conflict with Qur'anic moral values and do grave harm to one. Moreover, a believer has no time to waste on idle whisperings, to invent artificial problems for himself and then seek to resolve them. The life of this world is very short and believers' responsibilities do not permit them to waste time in this way. The existence of people all over the world who live far removed from the moral values of the Qur'an, and the fact that Muslims are oppressed in many parts of the world, stirs the believer's conscience. He will refuse to waste even a single moment on the hollow fripperies of earthly desires.

Topic: Chronic stomach ache - sign of worst things to come?
Hello everyone -
My dad has been getting weaker and losing weight over the last month. We are not sure if this is a sign of the chemo, the tumor or both (most likely). He says he is very weak and tired and complains about chronic stomach pain. He describes it as a colic type pain and is sometimes more acute after he eats. As far as I know he has not had any vomit and treats the pain with over the counter medicine so it's probably no to a critical point.
He is not jaundiced or feels any other major pain points so I;m wondering if it might be more a chemo driven problem together with all the additional medication he's taking or if it might be the tumor taking it's course.
If anyone has any experiences with this type of problem please let me know. I would love to know if there is anything I can do to help dad.
Best of luck to everyone.

Fla. offers $350M aid to underwater home borrowers
Published: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 11:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 11:46 a.m.
MIAMI — Thousands of Florida homeowners who owe far more on mortgages than their houses are worth could get a break under a new $350 million state program.
The Florida Housing Finance Corp. announced Friday that people who meet eligibility requirements will be able to apply online for up to $50,000 to reduce the principal owed on their mortgages. The program is restricted to homeowners who owe 125 percent more on mortgages than their homes are worth. That's considered to be severely underwater on a mortgage.
The program has several other eligibility requirements, including a $350,000 cap on the mortgage owed. The online application process will begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at www.principalreductionflhhf.org .
Officials say initially 25,000 applications will be accepted. At least 200,000 homeowners are considered underwater in Florida.

Clinton W. Thomas
4 Feb 1945 — Madisonville, Tn
It started out as another normal day, but then Joy Locke, local genealogist and host of the Monroe (county) genweb site received an e-mail from her sister Dede Harrill. As lookup volunteers for the genweb site, Dede and Joy receive emails daily from all across the United States, but this one was a little different. This one was from Italy. Damiano Parravano had sent Dede an email stating that he was a WWII historian, and had found a dog tag belonging to Clinton Thomas. The next of kin was listed as James A. Thomas, Route 1, Madisonville, TN. Damiano was looking for help in contacting any living members of Clinton's family. Joy became eagerly involved in the challenge.
Contact with Damiano revealed that Clinton's dog tag had been found near Terelle, Italy, a mountainous area that was the sight of the Battle of Terelle. Damiano and his fellow searchers had found only Clinton's dog tag and some shell fragments.
A search of our WWII memorial on the Courthouse lawn revealed the name of Clinton Thomas as one of Monroe County's fallen veterans, and a search for Clinton's surviving relatives began. The search found nephews James A. and Ernest Thomas, both now living in McMinn County, and a niece, Lillian Pulley of Nashville, all of whom were the children of the James A. Thomas, Sr. that was listed as the next of kin on Clinton's dog tags. The story that unfolded is how Clinton became more than a name on a WWII Memorial; he became an individual.
Clinton, an unmarried farmer and carpenter with an 8th grade education, had lost both of his parents at the time that he joined the army, probably because big brother Horace had also joined. Like most soldiers during this horrible time of war, Clinton went through basic training and was sent to the European campaign. News that Clinton was missing in action and probably died defending a bridge shortly after arriving in Italy hit his brother James very hard. Having no closure apparently affected this serious natured brother in a profound way. Ernest recalls his father leaving the room when Clinton's name was mentioned, and would never talk about the incident.
A conversation with VFW State Commander Ken Miller of Monroe County, revealed that the dog tag was considered the remains of Clinton Thomas. Plans were put in motion to return the dog tag to the US, and to give Clinton a proper memorial, one that his immediate family had never received.
The dog tag has been returned, and on Veteran's Day, November 11th, at 10:30 a.m., in front of the War Monument that holds Clinton's name, the dog tag will be officially presented to the family of Clinton Thomas, and a memorial service will be held to honor him for his service and sacrifice.
Our thanks go out to Damiano for revealing the true story of Clinton Thomas, and for giving us the privilege to bestow proper tribute to one Monroe County's heroes of war.

"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life. I really wanted to be able to include our parents in the invite and the designer came up with a great solution and moved a few things around. The invite is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!"
"I am so happy with these invitations! They are simple, yet beautiful and classy. I wanted to put all the information (reception and all) on one card, and I needed to make a second set in another language. The designer followed my instructions perfectly and made great suggestions to fit the text on the page. They turned out even better than expected. The paper quality (I used the shimmer paper) was excellent. I would recommend the shimmer paper. I can't say enough about the service as well. The proofs were done so quickly, the people on the phone were amazing and friendly and the package was delivered days ahead of time. The only hiccup I had was that they were unable to tell me what the customs/duties would be so I had to just keep my fingers crossed. In the end, it wasn't so expensive (about $60 for Canada). I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to any bride-to-be!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"

Put down the mac and cheese, and back away from that can opener. I know the terrifying depths laziness can take a person, but don't take it out on your stomach. A Doritos panino topped with Brie cheese and pickles isn't creative — it's a cry for help. Here are some foods that taste awesome and don't require much effort.
No excuse, folks. Pasta practically cooks itself. And this recipe doesn't call for a trip to the store or to your neighbor's house to ask for missing ingredients. Just throw in whatever you've got and it's totally good enough.
Corn Chowder With Chili Powder and Crumbled Cotija Cheese
I'd be willing to do horrible, horrible things to get my hands on some bacon chocolate right about now. So you should be able to get that lazy butt off the couch for this chowder (that totally has bacon in it). Plus, you'll get about four to six servings out of it, so this recipe will actually allow you to be lazy for a few extra days.
Honey-Infused Mediterranean Yoghurt Parfait With Stewed Plums and Peaches
You should be thankful this recipe doesn't include instructions on how to make yoghurt. You don't even have to pick your own fruit. Yes, it takes a bit of stewing, but this is dessert: the only course we're never too lazy to skip!
Buddy, you know that a second bag of chips probably isn't a good idea. Get up, make something, and it might just inspire you to tackle other things. Or order takeout — at least you'd be making the effort to pick up the phone. Baby steps.

Sweater - APC aka dad's old sweater
Shorts - Madewell
Moccasins - Urban Outfitters
Nailpolish - Deborah Lippmann in Fashion and Today Was a Fairytale
Just few of the many comments I got today questioning my choice of clothing today. Little did I know when I picked out my outfit last night that it would be so cold today. I couldn't resist wearing my new shorts though. I got them from Madewell for the holidays and I still can't decide whether they're lace or eyelet. What do you think?
In addition to the comments about the shorts, one girl told me that I looked very "indie" today, saying it with positivity. The term indie used to bother me, until I did some thinking and came to the conclusion that it means unique, and something that is different then the norm. It used to frustrate me when people would say that someone's Facebook profile picture is indie, or a clique at school is indie, or her outfit is so indie, but now I can understand why people use the word.
Hoping I can finish my homework in time to watch Pretty Little Liars tonight, it's such a great show. While I watch it I'm either hiding behind the pillow at the suspenseful parts, or drooling over Ian Harding, who plays Mr. Fitz!xo Ella

21 Sep 1933 — Cassopolis, Michigan
Obit "The Cassopolis Vigilant" *Cassopolis, MI) Thursday, 21 Sep 1933
Asa P. Daniels passed away Monday Morning at the home of his daughter Mrs Jas Knight, on O'Keefe Street after a prolonged period of ill health, at the age of 85 years, 5 months and 22 days. Funeral services were held at Daniels' late home at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon conducted by the Rev Jos I. Lindsay and burial was in Prospect Hill Cemetery beside his son, William Daniels, who met his death while on duty while on duty as a night watch in this village thirty years ago.
Mr. Daniels was the son of Benjamin H. and Mary Free Daniels and was born at Canandagua, NY, March 27, 1848. He was just under sixteen years of age when he enlisted Feb 1, 1864 to serve three years in Co. F, 53rd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers but the Civil War closed before his enlistment
expired and he was mustered out of service June 20, 1865. While in the service he was taken prisoner at the battle of Reams Station and served considerable time in a Confederate Prison.
After the war he went to Bryan, Ohio and was there married Sep 8, 1872 to Miss Alice Oldfield, who survives him, as do also two daughters, Mrs. Ina Knight and Mrs Carrie Reams, and one grandson William Reams all of village. Of his five brothers and one sister only three survive, James Daniels of Los Angeles, and Frank and Willard Daniels of Kalamazoo.
Me. Daniels moved with his family to Cassopolis 47 years ago and had resided here ever since. He had served as the Village both as Marshall and as Night watch and was always useful and industrious citizen during his active years. In his declining years, he and Mrs. Daniels had made their home with their daughter, Mrs. Jas Knight, where he received every attention that would make his last days comfortable and happy.
The passing of Mr. Daniels leaves only two Civil War veterans in our village, Jefferson Palmer and James H. Reed

After having worn the Asics gt-2100 series for 7 years, I am very disappointed in the new Asics gt-2000 shoes. I tried them for a week and hated them! My knees, ankles and right foot/heal/toes are sore and achey. I am even having pain in my back and hip on the right side. Begrudgingly, I am now looking to find anything that will fit my foot like my last pair of 2170's. Any advice??? The 2100 series has always fit like a glove, with little to no break in needed upon purchase. I am willing to look outside of the Asics family that has been so good to me for so many years. Has anyone else had this problem as well and found good replacement shoes??
Help!! Replacement Shoes for Asics 2170!!
I know a shoe that will feel just like the 2170. It is called..... the 2170. Still available from RRS as a "classic."http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/search/search-celebros.jsp?isLoggedIn=&isClubMember=&from=searchBox&Query=asics+2170&x=0&y=0
Thanks for the reply! I guess I should have been more specific....I am currently going to buy a pair of 2170's again, but my size is already limited so I am anticipating that in 3 months I will need to find something else. I tried the 2000's so I could make the change early, but they were a huge fail.
I had been a devotee too of Asics 2100 for yrs. Switched to Brooks Pureflow and love them. They're supposedly for neutral runners with high arches and I'm flat footed, overpronate, yet these are the most comfortable, lightweight, well cushioned shoe I've ever worn. No problems after ~ 500 mi.
I see what you mean. One thing you could do would be to buy multiple pairs that could last a while. By that time, perhaps the new model eventually released will be more to your liking. And save money while you are at it, not a bad price on the 2170.
But, in answer to your question of what may be similar to look at now, the usual stability shoe suspects. Mizuno Inspire, Brooks Adrenaline come to mind.
You can try Saucony Hurricane 15s. They have a smaller heel toe drop compared to the 2170s though.
I've found Mizuno is closest to Asics in fit - ie. narrow heel and wide forefoot. Maybe try the Inspire? Similar stability to 2170, but maybe a bit firmer in feel (but softer than the GT2000).
Alternatively, why not look at Asics 3000 series - either the new GT3000 or the superseded 3030?
I found the Saucony Hurricane the opposite to Asics in terms of fit - wide heel and narrow forefoot. Also, I've just given away a new pair of Hurricane 15s in which I over-pronated more than in some neutral shoes (Brooks Glycerin & Defyance). IMO they will be much less stable than your 2170s.
Also, there's a thread here on RW floating a rumour that Asics is returning the 2000 series to the 2170's fit and cushion with a mid-term update. I have no idea if this is correct, though
I too really like the 2170's. This year I bought an old pair because I didn't want to switch to the new shoes. I recommend that. They still exist and places still sell them, although you will be more likely to find them online. Shoot I can even find 3 year old 2100's online. So I recommend going on Amazon and trying to find some and buying a couple pairs well under retail and having a little stock.
The 2170's were replaced by two models, the 2000's and the 3000's. If you were in the 2170's for stability and support reasons you should go to the 3000's. The 3000's will have more support and cushion than the 2000's. The 2000 and 1000's are, I want to say almost like a beginner minimalist shoe. They just don't have a very good level of stability or cushion in them.
So I would try the 3000's on in a store and see how you like them. Those will be the closest model to the previous 2170's.
Thanks everyone for the help! I am not new to running, but I am new to trying to find new shoes. Once a shoe fits, it's hard to make a change. I have already ordered another pair of 2170s. However, I know they won't last forever. I am leaning towards trying the asics 3000 or the mizuni inspire. I tried an adrenaline once, and for some reason I felt that it was very clunky. Who knew running shoes could be so stressful!
Once a shoe fits, it's hard to make a change. Who knew running shoes could be so stressful!
Not for me- while I have my favorites, I love reading shoe reviews and trying different shoes.
These are in my current rotation:
Karhu Fluid Ride
adidas Boston 3
Saucony Ride 3
Puma Faas 550
Saucony Cortana should be delivered any day now!
You are lucky! I must have high maintenance feet! Has anyone tried the Saucony Guides? I came across them when researching. I was also wondering about Nike Lunarglides. They look nice, but I have found that Nike's tend to look better than they feel. At least for me.

Thanks for the always helpful advice.
I loved the Asics GT-2160s, never tried the 2170s. I tried on the GT-2000 and didn't like the feel of them. I went with the Brooks Adrenaline, seems like about the same level of support, maybe a little less cushioning. I tried the Guides and hated them, not enough support, I got a pain on outside of my right foot.
2170's were my favorite of the 2100 series. I was told the 2000 were the replacements and it only took one run to know they were not the regular Asics. I returned them and tried the new Kayanos and they also felt way different. I posted a message on the Asics FB page and they asked me to call. I did call just to speak to some woman that didn't give me any straight answers.
I'm so annoyed. My solution, was to get a pair of Nimbus which I had run on before. I did not want to go outside of Asics but I figure that if by the time I have to get another pair of shoes Asics has not done anything about it, I might just have to try something different.
jagu270, isn't the Nimbus a neutral shoe?
Dicks Sells the shoe asics gel Titanium, that I swear feels just like the 2170
I too have bought several pairs of the Asics 2170 and now need a replacement. I have tried multiple websites and cannot find my size anywhere. I have also tried the Nimbus however even though it is suppose to have more cushion, my back hurts each time. I have tried other brands as well however Asics just fits.
These folks have the 2170 at good prices.
JORDAN endorsements flying trapeze LOGO prototype is wearing this pair of AJ1 "black toe", complex carved again right now, original 9 hole, the asics onitsuka tiger sale classic black and white red color scheme, countless asics gel kayano 18 mens young men lining up for it, shows how this pair of AJ1 Red!
The Nimbus are neutral shoes. Some time back I got re-fitted for shoes and it was suggested that I wear Nimbus since I was not carrying that extra weight anymore. I like the Nimbus, but I still prefer the stability the 2170s provided.
I too have worn the 2100 series for about 15 years. I just bought the new 2100 -same size as I always run in but they feel small, like my toes are hitting. I'm afraid that if I go up they'll be too big- particularly in the heel. Anybody experience the same problem?
@smcmonagle did you ever find a shoe that worked? I have the same issue you had. Just went to the running store last night and am not a fan of the new gt2000. Please let me know.
I an running on the Numbus. It's been fine for now. If it continues to work I might keep using it. But I will get refitted again when I wear out my current shoes. I'm hoping that Asics is listening to their costumers.
I have the EXACT same problem. Just finished my 4th pair of 2170's. The new 3000's and 2000's don't fit right, they changed the arches and toe box.
And no one has size 9 left in their inventory.
I may try Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13, they felt the most normal.
Let me know if anyone finds some!
This seems to be a common problem and most of the gt 2170's are sold out by now. I found a few sites today with some pair left at decent prices:
http://www.33-off.com/womens-asics-gt-2170-4/ (only ships within canada)
Have you tried the Brooks Ravenna? I too was looking at the comparison of the Asics 2160 vs. the 2000, and my local shop talked me into the Brooks (mostly because I liked the way they looked and I loved their 30-day guarantee). It's just as cushioned as the Asics but feels faster. I found it fit just about the same.
While searching for advice in finding a comparable shoe to the 2170's, I came upon this thread and am finding it pretty helpful. I also have been running in and loving the 2100 series for over a decade and feel absolutely hopeless with what I've tried from Asics recently. 2000 - ugh! I have actually resorted to wearing my Kahana 6 (great for offroad) on road which I am comfortable in but feel sluggish with the extra tread and weight. I guess until Asics listens to their customers, I will have to try another brand. Thanks for the advice everyone as specialty running shoe store salespeople haven't been helpful at all. Today, following my road run with dirt-caked trailrunners, I will go in search for and try out some of your suggestions.
I've purchased the GT series from 2100-2170 and liked some better than others. I really liked the GT 2160. I recently purchased a pair of the GT 2000 and really like them. At least the pair I bought, has for me, great cushioning (both forefoot and heel) and adequate stability. I'm a mid/forefoot striker. I've also tried the Guide 5 and 6 and Brooks Adrenaline 12 and 13 and Brooks Ravenna 4. I guess I'm the lone wolf on this thread but of those I like the GT 2000 the best with the Saucony Guide 5 coming in second. It goes to show what works for one, may not work for others. I would say that for those interested in the Brooks Adrenaline that haven't run in them before, they have a significant increase in stability over the GT 2170 (in my opinion). Good luck finding the right shoe for you!
... I also have been running in and loving the 2100 series for over a decade and feel absolutely hopeless with what I've tried from Asics recently. 2000 - ugh!.... I guess until Asics listens to their customers, I will have to try another brand.
What was it about the GT-2000 you didn't like? If it was lack of cushion, Asics have indeed listened to their customers with the GT-2000 Mk2:
"More Accommodating Fit & Feel The re-tooling of the upper and the addition of the SpEVA 55 Lasting creates a fit similar to the GT-2170 while still pushing the GT-2000 2 beyond its predecessors"
I've been in the Asics 2100 series since I started running, back with the 2110 model. The GT-2000s fit me horribly. A local running shop put me in a pair of the Brooks Ravenna - saw those mentioned in a couple other posts. To be honest, I don't like them. At home on my Precor AMT, I actually prefer going barefoot to wearing the Ravennas...there have been a couple workouts where I've paused, pulled them off, and tossed them aside mid-workout. Running, one of my toes ends up numb, while the others feel just really odd. I can't exactly place what's going on, although I think it's a difference in my footstrike - which the guys at the shop say looks perfect. I dunno, but they're a miss for me...been thinking about selling them on eBay or something. (ladies size 9 for anyone reading, haha). I'm going to keep searching. Hope you find something great soon!!
I was also put in the brooks Ravenna by my local store (a road runner sports) long story short: I developed such glute/hip pain that I am now going to Physical Therapy and having new orthotics made. The PT guy compared my old 2170s the Ravennas, and the gel kayanos (I also got at same time as ravennas). He said the ravennas are very different from the 2170s.. he showed me.. there is way more flexibility in the forefoot of the ravennas than the 2170s. I haven't been able to run for 2 weeks and am going crazy! I am so upset with Asics.. I went back to RRS and returned the Ravennas (Luckily i'm a VIP member so could return worn shoes) ..the sales girl said Asics is the only brand that doesn't have store reps so they don't get the feedback they should. I guess i'll stick with the kayanos with my new orthotics.. hopefully i'll be back running soon..
Well I bit the bullet. I went to Fleet Feet, and tried on about six different pairs, ran outside on the sidewalk while he looked at my gait. In the end, i got the Asics 2000. They felt like they fit well, and he said they looked good.
I asked about all the negative things people are saying, and he said that what I bought is version 2.0. He thinks that Asics has secretly backpedaled a bit on the changes, even though they deny it.
I'll take them for a spin on Sunday (rain tomorrow), and I can take them back if they don't work. Fingers crossed!!
ETA: Took them for four miles this morning on the crushed limestone rail trail. I had a couple of twinges in the first mile, but everything went away. One shoe seems a bit snug, but not uncomfortable. Will put another few miles on them before I make a final ruling.
I'm having a similar problem - I love the 2170's. I ended up in Kayano 20's and they don't seem to be working for me.
However Kelly's Running Warehouse is getting in a run of 2170's. The lady promised me that I would get a pair if I pre-ordered. So what the heck. I took the chance! They are shipping mid-Jan! Check them out.
Saucony guide has solved this problem for me. They dont last quite as many miles as the asics, but generally cost $20 less and have the same fit. I almost like them better than my beloved asics.
Guess I'm not the only one with big problems with the new Asics 2000 series. Been running exclusively in the 2100 series for 7 years (except use Brooks T's for racing). I'm trying the Brooks Adrenaline. Got them yesterday and only done two runs in them so far. They seem to be a good replacement for me but will know for sure after month.
Guess I'm not the only one with big problems with the new Asics 2000 series.
have you tried the updated 2000s? The 2000 V2? I have put about 400 miles on a pair and they feel very very similar to the 2170s in terms of cushion.
I'm also having pretty good success with the 2000 v. 2. I have one pair with 30+ miles, and a brand new pair only worn twice. I'm feeling pretty much the same as I did in my 2170s. I did notice that the second pair, which I ordered online, fits a bit differently. The first pair feels snug on one foot, and overall smaller in the toe box. The second pair seems to be roomier in the toe box. The only difference I can detect is the color, but if they feel snug, it might not hurt to try on several to see if there is a difference.
Yes, I checked out the 2000 v2 at Fit2Run and didn't see much difference from the 2000 compared to the old Asics I brought with me to the store. The old pair was not the 2170's but an older series since I read Asics had already cheapened the 2170's making them less padded. Didn't notice it in my 2170's since I have only been doing light running the last couple of years. (Started back now and hope to be ready for some halfs next fall.) As the trainer at Fit2Run pointed out, I'm a very heavy heel striker (ledfooted) with wobbly weak ankles so need good support and padding.

The medical marijuana business may very well be big business at some point. And hey, maybe recreational, too; who knows? For now, basically all of the public cannabis companies trade in the over-the-counter market, which makes them penny stocks.
The over-the-counter, or OTC, market is notoriously volatile and less regulated than exchanges such as the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. The relative lack of regulation makes penny stocks the province of very, very small companies or scam artists, as well as foreign companies that don't want or can't afford the regulatory hurdles of listing on an exchange.
At the end of August, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, more commonly known as FINRA, issued a warning about investment scams in marijuana stocks. Here's what it had to say.
Regardless of how you first hear about them, the offers almost always contain hallmarks of "pump and dump" ploys. Specifically, fraudsters lure investors with aggressive, optimistic -- and potentially false and misleading -- statements or information designed to create unwarranted demand for shares of a small, thinly traded company with little or no history of financial success (the pump). Once share prices and volumes reach a peak, the cons behind the scam sell off their shares at a profit, leaving investors with worthless stock (the dump).
Medical marijuana is legal in nearly half of all states, and recreational use was approved by voters in Colorado and Washington. People are thinking, "Maybe this is the next big thing" -- and scam artists know it.
"That is the message of FINRA: Be careful. There are people out there that are focused on marijuana stocks because they are hot," says Alan Brochstein, CFA, a securities analyst and founder of the website 420Investor.com.
"Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people out there, and they jump on certain topics when they're timely and try to separate people from their wallets," he says.
To avoid investment scams in general, shun unsolicited pitches for investments, and do plenty of homework.
But I do want to invest in cannabis
So the question is, can regular small investors confidently invest in cannabis companies? Not just yet -- unless you want to gamble on penny stocks.
"I'm not pointing anyone toward it, but I've been following this market for seven months. It's a huge thing economically. They call it 'the green rush.' It's going to create jobs and tax revenue, taking money from the illegal dealers and putting it into legitimate taxpayer hands," Brochstein says.
"Unfortunately, there is only one company that is not OTC. All (the others) are OTC, where the regulations are a lot less," he says. "Several are SEC filers, but that is not fail-safe protection."
The fact is that the penny stocks or OTC stocks are a lot riskier -- even those companies on the up and up.
The non-OTC medical marijuana company trades on the Nasdaq and is called GW Pharmaceuticals. It's based in the United Kingdom.
What do you think? Is this an area you have your eye on?

PRINCETON, N.J. - For the second time in three years, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton women's soccer teams met at the Tigers' Roberts Stadium with the Ivy League title in play.
Unlike two years ago, when a tie gave the Quakers the title, this time Princeton got an early lead and never looked back. And when Penn made a valiant comeback and created a nervous titter in the stands, a final Tiger tally was too much in a 4-2 victory.
Princeton finishes the season 7-0-0 in Ivy League play, becoming just the fifth team in conference history to go through a season unblemished and the first since 2004 (also the Tigers).
Meanwhile, in Ithaca, Dartmouth did its part with a 3-0 victory over Cornell. So the Big Green end the season 6-1-0 in the Ivy League and finish second in the Ancient Eight behind the Tigers. Penn ends up third at 5-2-0.
Princeton (13-3-1 overall) had the wind behind it in the first half, and it appeared to play a role in the Tigers' first goal. Lauren Lazo fired a shot from the edge of the goal area that appeared to catch Penn goalkeeper Sarah Banks off guard with how quickly it got to her. Banks' tried to push the shot wide, but instead it ended up in the side netting for a 1-0 Tiger lead.
Penn (9-6-1) had a pair of nice chances to tie before halftime. In the 27th minute, Megan York sent in a ball from the left side that Erin Mikolai appeared to be open to put on goal. The freshman chose to use her foot instead of her head, however, and missed the ball completely.
With about nine minutes left before halftime, Kathryn Barth led Kerry Scalora behind the Princeton defense, but Scalora's first touch got away from her and left her with a low angle on goal. She never got the shot off.
However, the dagger came with just 2:33 left before the break. A ball was crossed from the right side, and after three players went up to head it the ball landed at the feet of Lazo. She calmly collected it and fired it inside the near post, past Banks' right.
Princeton made it 3-0 about 11 minutes into the second half. This time Jen Hoy got behind the Penn defense thanks to a nice through-ball, and after she got Banks to commit on the 1-on-1 she pushed the ball across to Lazo who easily deposited it into the open goal.
Penn got one back in the 65th minute when a ball played by Caroline Dwyer from the left side was re-directed slightly by Clara Midgley and slotted into the far corner. It was the sophomore's first tally of 2012.
Things got interesting when Claire Walker crossed the ball from the left and Midgley again put it away, this time heading it back across inside the left post. Suddenly, it was game on at 3-2 with more than 16 minutes left in regulation.
Princeton was able to put it away with just 6:06 left, however. Hoy made the play possible, again using her speed to get behind the defense. Banks was able to stuff the breakaway attempt, and then a second effort was kicked away, but the ball went to the middle of the field and Caitlin Blosser blasted a one-timer between a pair of Quaker defenders and into the net.

1. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedDave-in-Decatur Apr 10, 2012 6:20 AM (in response to cyberassassin)
I'm sorry the Strat has been such a problem for you. I've had mine for over 4 months, and haven't experienced what you have. I know others have reported various problems with it here, but I suspect there are more than a few reasonably well satisfied Strat users like me. Obviously, since we're happy with the phone, we don't have much incentive to post about it here.
Anyway, that's not to downplay your experience. Not having owned other Android phones, I don't have anything to compare the Strat with, for instance regarding keyboard and RAM. I will say that I have not found it to be at all slow (unless Web pages load slowly because of a weak 4G connection, which isn't the phone's fault). When I hit Call, it calls; and I haven't had the rebooting or SD issues that you and some others report. As for battery life and inadequate RAM, that, of course, depends on what apps a person installs and runs.
So, like any mass-produced product, it's possible to buy a bad Stratosphere, but that doesn't mean that it's a horrible phone for everyone.
I do have one last question: how did you manage to upgrade a Droid 2 to a Stratosphere last June, since (as I understand it) the Strat was not released until October? (See, for instance, http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/07/samsung-stratosphere-launching-october-13-full-specs-and-user-manual-available/.)
2. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedcyberassassin Apr 10, 2012 6:54 AM (in response to Dave-in-Decatur)
Well, I was going by the fact that my account says I am not eligible for upgrade until June 2013. I think you are correct though, I believe I got in in October.
3. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedcommonsense101 Apr 10, 2012 10:04 AM (in response to cyberassassin)
Do you have advance task killer or lookout? Remove those if so
Might have to buy a new phone and sell that one
4. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedcyberassassin Apr 10, 2012 10:07 AM (in response to commonsense101)
Nope, I have Easy Task Killer that I use to manually kill tasks if the phone is going to slow.
5. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedcommonsense101 Apr 10, 2012 10:32 AM (in response to cyberassassin)
uninstall that and watch your problems melt away
The truth is, these task managers and Android work against each other. Task killers are redundant, unnecessary and typically cause more harm than good. Yes, this goes against all that you have been told as an Android user; they seem like they're helping. This is called a placebo effect. So why are these app managers bad? How do they actually cause harm?
Unlike a PC where you must manage memory yourself by closing programs, the Android OS (2.2 and above) is meant to manage memory and processes on its own. Let's say the user launches an application. This app will then stay in memory until it absolutely needs to be closed. This is done to improve application launch time; the app will "run" in the background – leaving battery and performance essentially unaffected – ready to be launched again at any moment.
If a previously launched application is kept in memory, launching it again at a later time will take much less time. Killing the app removes it from memory and will slow down the application launch next time you need it. Android will automatically begin closing applications as needed, starting with the ones that have been inactive for the longest.
Most of these dreaded task manager applications come with a "kill all" or "autokill" feature. Why is this bad? I don't think I can explain it any better than Whitson Gordon of Lifehacker:
"... it's actually possible that this will worsen your phone's performance and battery life. Whether you're manually killing apps all the time or telling the task killer to aggressively remove apps from your memory, you're actually using CPU cycles when you otherwise wouldn't—killing apps that aren't doing anything in the first place.
In fact, some of the processes related to those apps will actually start right back up, further draining your CPU. If they don't, killing those processes can cause other sorts of problems—alarms don't go off, you don't receive text messages, or other related apps may force close without warning. All in all, you're usually better off letting your phone work as intended—especially if you're more of a casual user."
6. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedcyberassassin Apr 10, 2012 10:51 AM (in response to commonsense101)
I have hear this before and I have heard that you need one. However, it will not hurt anything for me to uninstall the application and see what happens. At this point anything is worth a try.
7. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownednotarep Apr 10, 2012 12:50 PM (in response to cyberassassin)
Uninstalling is fine, but other apps will take it's place in the memory. If the app has an option to quit, use that. Do not just hit the home key.
8. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedEnigma75 Apr 10, 2012 1:04 PM (in response to cyberassassin)
I was just reading some issues on here and I have the stratosphere and have not experienced any of the problems that have been posted on here. I got the phone a couple months ago and have nothing but good things to say about it.
9. Re: Stratosphere is the WORST phone I have EVER ownedjrh4054 Apr 11, 2012 9:48 AM (in response to cyberassassin)
I completely agree with Dave-in-Decatur. I have had my Strat for several months and haven't experienced any of the problems cyberassassin described. I also agree with those who have posted about app killing/battery saving apps. I was using an app killer and it totally ******* up my email to the point that I couldn't send or receive emails with the preinstalled email client. To cyberassassin, have you talked with VZW customer support? I have found them to be most helpful when you get to the Strat support folks. You may have a bad phone, which Dave-in-Decatur said. Have you tried removing the battery then reinstalling it? Have you tried doing a factory reset? You also said the phone had a cheap feel. I'm not sure what that means, but the Strat is not a high-end phone. If you wanted something that doesn't feel cheap, you should have paid $300 for the Razr Maxx, the Nexxus, or the iPhone 4S. My only real problems with the Strat are that it's heavy and thick.

HOUSTON - When you say the name "Oprah," people just seem to show up! That was the case in Houston Friday as thousands were on hand at the Hobby Center for Oprah Winfrey's latest life class.
"Welcome to life class! We're here in the Lone Star state of Texas!" Oprah boomed as she sat on the stage across from Lakewood Pastor Joel Osteen.
Osteen was Oprah's guest for the taping of two Lifeclass segments titled, "Dream Big. What is the dream you hold for yourself?" A later taping would involve Pastor Rick Warren, who also taped two shows.
Both shows were completely full with more than 2,400 Oprah fans who got their tickets through a lottery held on Oprah.com.
The Houston visit comes after stops this spring in St. Louis, New York and Toronto. If fans came expecting an uplifting spiritual event, they were not disappointed.
In one early segment of the show as Osteen talked about dreams, he likened them to a fast-food restaurant.
"Your dreams will be much bigger. God's going to super-size anything you dream," he said as Oprah chimed in. "That's a tweet. Tweet God will super-size your dream. Super-size me, Jesus!" to the laughter of the packed Sarofim Hall.
After the taping, when asked what she prays for prior to such an important event, Oprah said, "We actually prayed before we started this show. What we prayed is that the words of our mouth and the meditation of heart would speak to people in a way that they could receive it from exactly the space that they most need it."
Fans came from all over the United States and from outside the country as well seeking and receiving the Oprah wisdom. Jeannie Locklear and her friend flew in from Missouri specifically for Friday's show and said she had been trying for years to get a ticket and when her number came up in the lottery, there was no doubt she'd make the trip.
"I knew that it was a life class and being all that you can be and taking charge of your life and you can do that," she said. "It's a good reminder."
Houston is the final Lifeclass stop for Oprah this year. You can bet the diehard Oprah fans who are in line are going to be monitoring her website to find out when that next Lifeclass is going to be scheduled.

Domestic Violence
Dealing with Sister of Domestic Violence
I feel like my sister uses me when she gets abused from her husband. I even went to court with her to get a PFA for 6 months. She got granted it and her husband had to go to drug rehab and anger management. Well, she voided the PFA and now she is telling us that he is back at home. And that no rehab will take him. I think it is a excuse. And she wants to visit with me and I here him yelling in the background. Please help me? I don`t know what to do.
Thank you for your question. Two things are important here:
1) Domestic violence is cyclical - there is an outbreak of violence followed by an apology period ("I promise it will never happen again") followed by a honeymoon period (things are great; flowers, candy, etc.) followed by tension escalation and another outbreak. It's challenging to break this cycle from both the perpetrator and victim's standpoint. Women often need time to make a break from their abusive partner - some studies show that women make up to 6 attempts to leave before they are ready to make the final break. Remember that even though your sister is experiencing abuse, she likely cares for her partner and it's hard to make a break from someone you care for no matter how poorly they treat you. Try to have patience with your sister;
and 2) Keeping in mind what I said in #1, you must always protect your own needs in these stressful family situations. Try to find a support group where you can share your experiences and concerns, and try to talk with supportive friends and family members.

Liberty Shuts Out Radford on Senior Day
The Liberty Lady Flames field hockey team sent its three seniors out in style on the final day of the regular season, shutting out the visiting Radford Highlanders, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon at Liberty Field Hockey Field. The senior trio of Ann Jefferis, Jordan Richardson and Micailah Sloman helped propel the Lady Flames to their program record ninth straight win and fourth consecutive shutout.
Liberty, who wrapped up the NorPac East Division regular season title last weekend, finishes the regular season with a 14-4 overall record and an unblemished 8-0 conference record. The Lady Flames push their winning streak against NorPac East foes to 15 consecutive contests. The loss drops the Highlanders to 5-14 on the season and 3-5 in league matches.
Liberty's defense stymied Radford in the opening 35 minutes of play. The Highlanders didn't manage a shot or penalty corner against the Lady Flames' staunch defensive unit of Hannah Jones, Helen Doolittle, Serena Barr and Megan Johnson.
Radford's defense also proved tough in the first half. Liberty forced six penalty corners and produced five shots, but couldn't find the back of the net during the opening frame..
The Lady Flames broke the scoreless tie with 3:21 elapsed in the second stanza. Sloman, serving as the inserter for the first time this season, whipped a pass into the top of the circle on a short corner attempt for Liberty. Bethany Barr stopped the pass, tapped it to Doolittle and the junior drilled the ball past Highlanders' goalkeeper Sidney Encarnacion and into the cage. Doolittle's second goal of the season put Liberty on top, 1-0.
Radford tallied its first shot attempts of the contest in the 44th minute. Sydney Myrdal was turned away by the Lady Flames' defense on two shot attempts, including a glove save by Jefferis on the second shot.
Liberty extended its lead to 2-0 with 19:37 showing on the game clock, scoring on another penalty corner opportunity. Ashlee Krulock sent the insert pass to Bethany Barr at the top of the circle. Instead of dishing the ball off to a teammate, Barr took a dribble right and lined a shot into the right corner of the cage for her third marker of the season.
Natalie Barr produced the final goal for the Lady Flames in the 63rd minute. Abbey Basom dribbled along the left base line and dumped a pass toward the middle to Barr. Barr gathered the pass and drilled a reverse shot into the far corner of the cage. Barr's single-season program-record 17th goal put Liberty in front, 3-0.
Jefferis preserved her sixth shutout of the season and the team's seventh overall with a save on shot by Myrdal with 2:09 remaining in the contest.
For the contest, the Lady Flames held the edge in both shots, 17-3, and penalty corners, 11-2.
In goal, Jefferis tallied a pair of saves en route to her 13th win of the season. Saturday's contest marked the first time in three games that the redshirt senior was forced to make a save. Encarnacion finished the match with three saves for the Highlanders.
With the regular season behind them, the Lady Flames turn their attention to the NorPac Tournament, which gets under way on Thursday at Liberty Field Hockey Field. Liberty, the No. 1 seed from the east division, squares off against Cal, the west division's fourth seed, at 1:30 p.m. For more information on the NorPac Tournament, visit the tournament central page.
For a more in-depth look at the Lady Flames' field hockey program, including postgame interviews and video packages, follow the team on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

A STRETCH of railway line through Tiverton is set for improvements as part of a project to sort out problem hotspots across the country.
Network Rail are looking at 40 sites in the South-West affected by the heavy rainfall in the past two months, which they say cost between £10m to £20m of emergency unbudgeted funding to put right.
A spokesman said: "Whilst some schemes require improvements to drainage provision, sites such as the Cowley Bridge Junction will require a holistic view in conjunction with the Environment Agency to make sure we implement a fit-for-purpose solution.
"We are looking to raise the signalling equipment off the ground throughout to add robustness in the short term. We have also added boulders on the embankment to add some protection from washouts.
"Recent weather events related to extremely severe flooding in the South West are not specifically highlighted so we are looking at a separate exercise to review our response to the flooding.
"There are two dimensions to this. Firstly, in terms of asset resilience, we are reviewing all the areas we had problems with in November and December to see what we can do to restore services quicker in reaction to flooding."
As part of wider meetings, Network Rail are holding a Devon stakeholder review in February to look at how to combat flooding on the tracks.
Network Rail's strategic business plan for Wessex, which covers the route through Tiverton, has been submitted to the Office of Rail Regulation.
In April 2004, South West Trains ran 43,600 trains over four weeks but in April 2012, the total number of trains had risen to 45,646 trains all of Network Rail say has put added pressure on the infrastructure.
The spokesman added: "To address this continuing increase in train movements, £1.025billion will be spent on the infrastructure across the south and south west of England between 2014 and 2019 to make it more reliable and able to cope with the continued increase in use."

BAKER — A smoldering fire in Baker Masonic Lodge 441's hall caused heavy smoke and heat damage to the interior Wednesday morning.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation Wednesday night.
The first floor of the two-story building at 4807 Groom Road once housed the Baker branch of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, but the Masons converted it to a dining area after the library moved to a new building in April 2001.
Baker Fire Department spokesman Howard Ward said firefighters arrived shortly after 10:20 a.m. and found smoke coming from a window at the rear of the structure.
Firefighters had to break through a door to enter the building but quickly extinguished the blaze, Ward said.
The fire apparently originated on or near a small table under the rear window, Ward said.
Arson investigators with the Baton Rouge Fire Department were assisting in the investigation.
Fire Chief Danny Edwards said someone started a fire in a pump house adjacent to a city water well near the Masonic building, but the fire did not cause any damage to the structure, which has concrete-block walls.

HOUSTON - Police need help finding a man who robbed a convenience store at gunpoint.
Houston police said the New Tony Express service station in the 4000 block of Synott near Ashford Pointe was held up about 11 p.m. on Nov. 12.
The man pointed a gun at the store's owner, Mike Vora, and jumped over a counter to get to the cash register, investigators said.
Vora did not hesitate and handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the robber tried to leave through the front door, but he couldn't get out because Vora flipped a switch that locked the door, police said. The man then climbed through ceiling tiles and got into a neighboring business to escape, officials said.
Vora said he did have a gun, but he thought pulling it out would make the situation worse, so he did not use it. He decided it was safer to lock himself in his booth and wait for police.
Police have not released a detailed description of the man. Investigators said they don't know if the man has been involved in other robberies in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.17905090

The media spotlight will be on St Davids tomorrow (Wednesday) when the Queen's Baton Relay arrives in the city as part of its world-wide tour.
The Baton - which is making its way to Glasgow for the start of the Commonwealth Games – will be carried through St Davids by 16 local people on Wednesday, May 28.
The 1,000m journey through the centre of St Davids begins at 8am at the Bishop's Palace and ends an hour later at the sports hall adjacent to Ysgol Dewi Sant.
Members of the public who wish to witness this unique sporting event are asked to arrive before 7.30am as temporary road closures will be in place from that time.
In addition to the County Council car parks at Merrivale and Quickwell Hill and the National Park car park adjacent to Oriel y Parc, additional parking will also be available at St Davids rugby club and opposite Ysgol Dewi Sant.
The Baton will even be carried through the Cathedral at one point, shortly after being blessed by The Bishop of St Davids, The Right Reverend Wyn Evans.
At Cross Square, the Baton and its bearers will be welcomed b y the Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, Councillor Tom Richards and the Mayor of St Davids, Councillor David Halse.
The next stop is at Oriel y Parc where it will be received by the Chairman of the National Park Authority, Councillor Mike James. It will also visit the Sir Peter Blake Art Exhibition within the Gallery.
To conclude the Pembrokeshire leg of its journey, it is due to arrive at St Davids sports hall at 9am where the Baton and bearers will be met by the Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, Councillor Jamie Adams.
At the sports hall there will be an opportunity for members of the public to be photographed with the Baton and at 10am a number of sports events for children and young people will be held.
Sports to participate in include athletics, cycling, weightlifting, hockey and squash. There is also a duathlon for children.
The Baton will be carried on most of its route by a number of young people, aged between 10 to 19, who are all past or present members of the St Davids Family of Schools.
Also acting as bearers are two local men - Roy Stephens and Barry Webb both in their 70s – who carried the Baton when the Games was held in Cardiff in 1958.
Pembrokeshire County Councillor Elwyn Morse, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport and Leisure, said he was proud that Pembrokeshire had been included in the relay route.
"I well remember the vast crowds and exciting scenes which greeted the Olympic Torch when it came to Pembrokeshire two years ago" he said.
"I am sure the people of Pembrokeshire will be equally enthusiastic when it comes to showing our support for our home-grown athletes in the Commonwealth Games by turning out in numbers and cheering on the Baton."

Twins have a lot of sharing to look forward to in life, but one set of twins from New York will not be sharing a birthday.
Tammy Muldowney gave birth to her first child, daughter Kennedy Clare, at around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo., reports The Associated Press.
Muldowney and her husband waited for the second baby to be born, but that would not come until nearly 12 hours later. Twin brother Kellan Michael was born the following day.
The doctor who delivered the healthy babies says it's not uncommon to see twins born up to a couple hours apart, but 12 hours is rare.

LA MARQUE, Texas - A rise in air-conditioning unit thefts in La Marque has police on high alert.
Investigators said thieves are targeting AC units from unoccupied homes and businesses in the La Marque area.
Because of this, police said they've stepped up patrols throughout the city, and police have asked anyone who sees anything suspicious to give them a call.
Police said a lone thief will typically walk or drive around the area to research air conditioners, then come back with two or three others. The crew will then disconnect the A/C units from their location and load them onto a truck bed.
The stolen units are later dismantled at another location and various precious metals inside, including copper and aluminum, are sold to area scrap yards, officials said.
Officials recommend owners log the make, model and serial number of all components related to their exterior AC units. Owners are also urged to install metal cages around the units along with lighting to keep them illuminated at night.
If you see anything suspicious, you're urged to give Crime Stoppers of La Marque a call at 409-938-TIPS (8477). You can also click here to visit the city's website.
Information that leads to felony charges could get you a reward of up to $5,000.

Organic beef chuck blade roast
Thu Mar 18, 2004 9:03 pm
I have managed to get my hands on a grass-fed, organically raised beef chuck blade roast. Any hot tips on smoking this bad boy? Also, would this cut benefit from brining before hand? This is an extraordinary piece of meat that is very well marbled. There isn't much of an outer layer of fat so I'm also thinking of covering with a layer of bacon. I have S.R.'s "How to Grill" and am wondering how much more time I should add to the "how to smoke a brisket" recipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I forgot to add that I am

planning to use my electric water smoker. Deb
Thu Mar 18, 2004 10:27 pm
well done
Hi Deb and welcome to the board.
You're lucky to get you hands on such a nice cut of beef. What you have is essentially a piece of a beef shoulder. Beef shoulder is a lot leaner than brisket; it is very flavorful but requires slow cooking and braising. Since you did not mention how much the meat weighs, I couldn't really tell you how long it would take. However, a ten lbs piece of beef shoulder will take about 9-12 hrs or until the internal temp reaches 190-195.
There are 2 methods to cooking this kind of cut. Wet method-uses a marinade (not a brine), and dry method- uses dry rub (essentially like a brisket).
**For the dry method: use Steve's recipe for brisket. The meat will get very dark and shiny on the out side, so use a mop sauce or wrap with bacon as you planned. During the last 2 hours of cooking, wrap the meat with foil; make sure you pour some of the mop sauce (or bacon fat if using) inside the foil. Wrap tightly and finish the cooking.
**For the Wet Method: I use the following marinade-
1 Recipe of your favorite rub
1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce
1 small can of crushed pineapples- pineapples contain enzymes that tenderize the meat, plus the flavor is good too.
1 bottle dark beer
1/4 cup of cider vinegar
3 tbs of lemon juice
4 cloves of garlic-minced
1 tsp of dry thyme
1/4 cup of olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Apply the rub all over the beef, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Mean while combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour the marinade over the meat and refrigerate overnight. Set the smoker as usual and maintain temp around 225-250 degrees.
Use the remaining marinade to mop the meat through out the cooking time. Make sure you boil the marinade before use it to mop the meat. During the last 2 hours of cooking, wrap the meat with foil; make sure you pour some of the marinade inside the foil. Wrap tightly and finish the cooking.
When the meat internal temp reaches 190-195 degrees, it will be very tender and it will be easy to pull with your fingers.
Let us know how it turned out.
Good luck.
Organic beef shoulder
Fri Mar 19, 2004 2:51 pm
Thanks very much for your comments.
The shoulder is about 14.5 lbs so I will gauge the cooking time accordingly with help from my Polder thermometer. I have some time before I have to smoke this piece of meat as it is cryovac'd and should be good until early April. Since my initial post, I have been doing some other reading. I wonder if "dry aging" for a few days would also help?
Again, thanks very much for all you helpful suggestions. Deb
Fri Mar 19, 2004 3:49 pm
well done
You're welcome.
I wouldn't worry about aging this cut of beef. It has a strong beefy flavor on it's own. Also you don't want to loose any water. This cut tends to be on the dry side. But if you want to read about aging beef, try this link:

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - Being stuck behind a slow driver can be frustrating for anyone, but now those drivers could soon be facing fines.
Some call it the "Road Rage Bill" and Governor Rick Scott has now signed it into law. The law makes it illegal to drive 10 miles per hour under the speed limit in the fast lane, leaving drivers with some questions.
Carey McIntosh said, "It's a little absurd. It's contradictory according to some of the other signs that you see on the expressways."
Not every driver feels that way. Some drivers think that the new bill will make the roads safer.
Michelle of Viera said, "It's unsafe to have someone going way under the speed limit in the left hand lane and forcing the rest of us to try and pass on the right where they can't see us.
In 2005, then Governor Jeb Bush vetoed a similar bill. That one sought to require slower drivers to make way for faster ones.
"We have enough to be concerned about as we are driving on our interstates, more so than to have to worry about if we are going too slow," said McIntosh.
The law applies to any road with three lanes or more, and the only exception is when drivers are preparing to turn left at an intersection.
If you're caught going slow in the fast lane, it could cost you up to $60 in fines. The slow driving law takes effect July 1st.

McCarthy's Condition Improves, Discharged from Hospital
OAKLAND, Calif. – Brandon McCarthy, who underwent head surgery last Wednesday after sustaining injuries from a batted ball in a game played at the Coliseum earlier that day, was discharged from California Pacific Medical Campus in San Francisco earlier this afternoon.
Dr. Peter Weber, the neurologist who performed the surgery at CPMC, and Dr. Allan Pont, A's team physician, both felt that McCarthy had made an excellent recovery and could be safely released from the hospital.
McCarthy, 29, issued this statement upon leaving the hospital today:
"From the bottom of our hearts, (my wife) Amanda and I want to thank everyone who was involved in responding to and treating my injury, starting with Dr. Weber and all the team's medical personnel from doctors Allan Pont, Elliott Schwartz and Jon Dickinson to the Oakland A's athletic trainers, as well as the other physicians and nurses who were on duty around the clock in the Critical Care Unit at California Pacific. We feel the same way about the ambulance driver and those who first met us at the hospital. We could not have been in better hands.
"We also want to express our deep appreciation to our teammates, manager and coaching staff for their concern and encouragement during the uncertain times, and also want to thank all the A's fans who wished us well. It's times like these when you realize you have an extended family, and feel so fortunate. Now we look forward to continuing the healing process, and returning to baseball and our normal lives in the weeks and months ahead. Go A's!"
After the incident occurred in the fourth inning of last Wednesday's game against the Angels, it was team physicians Schwartz (internal medicine) and Dickinson (team orthopedist), and athletic trainer Paparesta who initially took McCarthy to Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland. A CT Scan revealed an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and skull fracture. Later in the evening, McCarthy was transferred to California Pacific Medical Campus, where a neurosurgeon performed a second CT scan and clinical examination, which resulted in surgery to relieve pressure from the pitcher's head. The two-hour procedure included the evacuation of an epidural hemorrhage and the stabilization of the skull fracture.
Dr. Pont, vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer at California Pacific Medical Campus, oversaw the daily care of McCarthy at his headquarter facility.
McCarthy will remain in the Bay Area for at least the next three weeks, the team said.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 6, 2012
An Iranian scientist who defected last week over lax safety at his country's nuclear sites reports that the Bushehr reactor is too faulty to last more than 18 months and mysterious illnesses are spreading through Isfahan from four nuclear facilities. Fearing the reactor might explode, Russian experts summoned from Moscow temporarily removed the fuel rods. According to Russian estimates, an explosion might have caused one million Iranian deaths and injured hundreds of thousands of radiation victims in Persian Gulf countries.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 1, 2012
Iran's nuclear reactor at Bushehr was shut down in mid-October for fear of an explosion. Saturday, Dec. 1, an authoritative Russian nuclear industry source revealed why: "Indicators showed that some small external parts were… in the [Bushehr] reactor vessel…." They were identified as "bolts beneath the fuel cells." debkafile: Russian experts estimated that a Bushehr explosion had the potential for causing a million Iranian deaths and hundreds of thousands of radiation victims in Iran and across the Persian Gulf emirates.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 23, 2011
The three scientists who planned, designed, built and operated Iran's first nuclear reactor at Bushehr died Tuesday night, June 20, when a Rusaero flight from Moscow crashed at Petrozavodsk in northwest Russia. debkafile reveals they were among the 44 passengers killed. Their loss is a blow to Russia's atomic reactor and energy industries because of their expertise in synchronizing different nuclear systems. Some intelligence sources say that Bushehr's amalgam of systems made it vulnerable to the Stuxnet virus two years ago.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 12, 2011
Saudi and Kuwait officials have warned the US that if Iran activates its first nuclear reactor at Bushehr in May as planned, there is a good chance it will blow up and the entire Gulf region suffer a nuclear disaster on the scale of the misfortune at Japan's Fukushima thereby exposing millions to radiation contamination. In recent Saudi-US talks on the acute crisis in their relations, King Abdullah demanded immediate action by Washington to stop the Iranian plant going on line.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 8, 2011
Saudi-US disagreements have solidified for the first time in King Abdullah's decision to put their policy arguments behind him and go for action independent of the US. His first move was to freeze his $60 billion arms purchases from America. His second: to encourage the Yemeni ruler to defy Washington. The blow to American pockets as well as prestige is disastrous: For decades, Saudi Arabia has been the top buyer of American military hardware
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 18, 2011
Stuxnet is admitted for the first time as having attacked five Iranian targets. The admission has stirred up more trouble between Moscow and Tehran who are playing the blame game over the delay in activating the Bushehr nuclear reactor.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 31, 2011
Iran's atomic energy chief Ali Akbar Salehi said on Jan. 29 that the Bushehr nuclear power plant would be connected to the national grid on April 9. He "forgot" about Tehran's promise to fully activate its first nuclear reactor Tuesday, Jan. 25. debkafile's sources reveal that, Iran's hand was held back at the last minute by Russia's nuclear chief Sergei Kiriyenko. He warned Stuxnet was back and activating the reactor could trigger a nuclear catastrophe costing millions of lives.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 27, 2011
The Islamic regime in Tehran suffers the ignominy of keeping its first nuclear reactor shut down at Bushehr for fear of the lurking Stuxnet. Russia asks NATO to investigate the dangerous malworm for fear of a Chernobyl-scale atomic catastrophe.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report November 12, 2010
Moscow has used the Bushehr nuclear reactor to showcase its nuclear wares. Egypt is lining up with Gulf emirates for Russian nuclear reactors like Iran's as its ties with Washington weaken and Iran's nuclear weapons program contiues to forge ahead - albeit with unforeseen holdups.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 8, 2010
Iran is secretly moving some of its most sensitive nuclear research facilities and materials from Tehran and the Arak heavy water plant to huge storage areas around the new nuclear reactor at Bushehr, along with advanced missiles from the southern province of Khuzestan, debkafile discloses.
The fueling of the reactor since inaugurated Aug. 21 makes the location safe from air or missile attack for fear of environmental radiation. Tehran is exploiting this advantage.
DEBKAfile DEBKA Weekly August 24, 2010
How did US President Barack Obama come to misjudge the cost of assenting to the start-up of Iran's first nuclear reactor? In its latest issue out Friday, DEBKA-Net-Weekly disclosed how Iran swiftly cashed this blank check in terms of boosting its nuclear bomb program and regional standing whereas Binyamin Netanyahu was left watching his policies vis-à-vis Iran and the Arab go into the red.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 23, 2010
debkafile reports Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is misleading his ministers by presenting the direct talks opening with the Palestinians on Sept. 2 as a diplomatic victory. He has omitted to disclose that the Obama administration has reneged on the secret deals for paving the way to the talks. One part was US non-reaction to the Bushehr reactor start-up, another to refrain from twisting Israel's arms in negotiations with the Palestinians.The White House is standing by neither.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 17, 2010
Two mysterious incidents are reported by debkafile in the run-up to the fueling-up of Iran's first nuclear reactor Saturday, Aug. 21. Tuesday, an Iranian F4 Phantom fighter jet was claimed by Tehran to have crashed 6 kilometers north of the Bushehr nuclear reactor in southern Iran. debkafile's military sources report it was shot down by Russian-made TOR-M1 air-missile defense batteries guarding the reactor. Aug.1, three unidentified drones slammed into its dome killing five people.
DEBKAfile Special Report August 16, 2010
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin decided it was safe to go ahead and load Iran's first nuclear reactor with fuel on Aug. 21 - effectively making it active - after the US and Israel did not seem troubled by the prospect of the reactor going on stream, debkafile reports. Either the two governments had been caught flatfooted, he figured, or come to terms with Iran's capacity to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
DEBKAfile Special Report August 14, 2010
Sudden word from Moscow and Tehran on Aug. 11 that Russia will activate Iran's first nuclear power reactor on Aug. 21 by loading the fuel has caused a major flap in Israel in view of its military aspects.DEBKA reports: Only last week, Russian leaders assured Washington that it would not go on line this year.
Former Bush adviser John Bolton commented that once the rods are in, Israel can no longer attack this reactor because of spreading radiation.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report July 8, 2010
Moscow and Tehran have announced that the nuclear reactor Russia is building Iran at Bushehr has completed all its test-runs and will be up and running in early September - ahead of schedule.
DEBKAfile Special Report April 10, 2010
In addition to developing a "third generation" centrifuge for speeding up uranium enrichment, Iran is close to activating its Bushehr nuclear reactor and completing its Arak heavy water plant - both providing easy access to weapons-grade plutonium for smaller, lighter and more easily deliverable nuclear warheads. Plentiful new uranium deposits have also been discovered in central
