It seems like most of the country has been going through a frozen weather period lately. It is the cold days that make it hard to get out of bed and it seems like the perfect time to become a cozy couch potato. Getting out of bed and getting ready for the day can seem like the hardest obstacle yet, but it does not have to be. When in doubt, wear black because you can't go wrong with this chic color. You will be sure to look like a million bucks if you throw on an all black ensemble.
The Fashionista that I snapped a photo of for this week's post has got the perfect idea of a blackout outfit. Wearing all black may look too boring, but black will always be the new black. With an all black outfit and the right accessories, you are going to be on point. This Fashionista is wearing a pair of classic black skinny jeans from H&M and a black knit sweater from Forever 21. It is the perfect blank slate to add on the accessories and to complete the outfit. She accessorized her outfit with black Tory Burch flats with gold accents and a bib necklace. She wanted to add a pop of color so she went for a maroon Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. bag.
Another amazing thing about an all black outfit is that it is easy to transition an outfit like this from day to night. By switching her black flats for a pair of glamorous black pumps, she is ready a night with girlfriends or a fancy dinner date. If you are looking for something to battle the cold weather, a pair of duck boots and a black scarf can do the job properly.

An Israeli army spokesman said troops had carried out air and ground attacks against "armed militants" around Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
But Palestinians said two of the dead were civilians, including a 60-year-old woman, and that 26 people were injured.
Troops moved into Gaza in one of the biggest incursions since Hamas seized control of the strip in mid-June.
Palestinian reports speak of about 20 tanks and armoured personnel carriers being involved in the operation.
An Israeli army spokesman said its aim was to stop militants digging tunnels and firing rockets into Israel.
About 100 Palestinians had been rounded up for questioning, the army said.
The Hamas takeover of Gaza has left the Palestinian territories split and under the control of the rival factions - Hamas in Gaza, and Fatah in the parts of the West Bank not controlled by Israel.
Israel and the international community have backed Palestinian Authority President and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, while increasing the isolation of Hamas and completely cutting off Gaza and its 1.5 million residents.

In our home we eat a lot of chicken, so I'm on the lookout for good chicken recipes. Not only is chicken good for you, but I have also discovered that I can get by putting green vegetables in some of them. The stuffed alfredo chicken was a great hit with my grandkids. – Pat
Stuffed alfredo chicken
4 skinned and boned chicken breasts
8 ounces mild ground Italian pork sausage
1 (1.25 oz) envelope alfredo sauce mix
1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Parmesan cheese
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1⁄2 cup ricotta cheese
2 plum tomatoes, diced
Place chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Set aside. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat 10 minutes, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink, drain and set aside. Prepare alfredo sauce according to package directions; set aside. Combine shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Stir together sausage, spinach, ricotta cheese, and 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese mixture. Spoon mixture evenly down center of each chicken breast, and roll up, jellyroll fashion. Arrange chicken rolls, seam side down, in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Pour alfredo sauce over chicken, and sprinkle evenly with remaining 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until chicken is done. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut chicken rolls into slices. Serve with sauce; sprinkle evenly with diced tomatoes just before serving. Yields: 4 servings.

• If you go to a buffet and take a serving of mashed potatoes, you will probably have little or no nutrient value left. After approximately 45 minutes, it's all gone. Best to get them when they are first put out.
• To test whether hot oil is still usable, drop a piece of white bread into the pan. If the bread develops dark specs, the oil is deteriorating.

Replay: Why Work?
Two years ago, I wrote a post called "Why Work?" While the post considers several different passages of Scripture, it primarily focuses on one passage. And, as an interesting twist, this passage was written about elders/pastors. That's right, Paul wrote this passage to church leaders to exhort them to work with their hands… but why?
Why Work?
Sometimes, when I'm sitting at my desk or coding late at night, I wonder why I work? Yes, I know that I need to provide for myself and my family. We like to eat, and we like to have a place to sleep, and we like other things that are not necessities.
So, certainly I should work in order to support myself and my family. But, did you know there is another scriptural reason to work as well?
Scripture has alot to say about work. In fact, Paul warns the Thessalonians not to associate with a brother or sister who refuses to work. (2 Thessalonians 3:6-12) But, Scripture also gives us several reasons for working. Besides supporting ourselves and our families, Scripture also says that we should work in order to have something to give to others in need.
For example, consider Paul's admonition to the elders from Ephesus:
I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' (Acts 20:33-35 ESV)
Paul provides his own example of working with his hands in order to provide for himself and for those who are with him. He then commands (using the verb for "it is necessary", translated as "must" in the ESV) the elders to follow his example. He says they are to work with their hands so that they can help the weak (or "in need" according to the Greek lexicon BDAG).
In another passage in Ephesians, Paul instructs those who have been guilty of stealing in the past. He says:
Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. (Ephesians 4:28 ESV)
The thief has not "put on the new man" (Eph 4:24) simply by ceasing to steal and beginning to work for his own support. Instead, Paul expects a complete reversal in his thinking. No long is the thief to take from others; as a new man in Christ he is now to work in order to give to others who are in need.
Apparently, the idea of working for others and supporting those who are in need was active in the earliest days of the church. As Luke records in two passages:
And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. (Acts 2:45 ESV)
There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. (Acts 4:34-35 ESV)
Perhaps this also explains part of the reasoning behind John's instructions concerning caring for a brother or sister who is in need:
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? (1 John 3:17 ESV)
Thus, according to John, when we work to "have the world's goods" in order to help others who are in need, we are demonstrating that God's love abides in us.
We should work in order to provide for ourselves, and we should work in order to provide for our families. However, according to Scripture, we should also work in order to provide for others who are in need.
During these tough economic times, we should especially be looking around for those who are in need, and we should be working in order to help these people.

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by Pet, Jul 18, 2009.
Poll: Best 2009 racquet
What do you think?
Pro staff 85
How about Wilson Pro Staff 88?
I was just kidding with my post actually.
No no no Lafayette, it's the Wilson Jack Kramer Pro Staff.
But seriously, I think that the best 2009 stick is the Head Youtek Radical Pro.
wilson kblade tour
ProStaff 88
The Pro Staff 88 is a great frame, but QC is horrible. Head is at least marginally better in that aspect, although companies like Tecnifibre, Gamma, Volkl, Prokennex, and Dunlop -generally the smaller ones- have great QC.
kps 88....
What's with all the Wilsons? I say Big Bubba.
Prostaff 88
Any pro's using PS88 in the ATP tour? (Not seniors ala Mr. P.Sampras)
Aerogel 4D 300
I'd say either the KPS88 or the entire Head YouTek range. 2009 has been a pretty good year in terms of racquets IMO.
haven't tried the youteks yet, but the leather grips really lift the head branding.
New Head Extreme.
pure drive gt or pure storm gt imho
K Pro Staff 88ftw
dont have a specific one, but probably the Head YOUTEK series.
Easy ....
Gamma 330X
Anything made by Babolat...
And the Volk PB 10 Mid or Prince EXO3 Ignite?
Speed Elite
The PD GT deserves at least an honerable mention---much more solid than the regular cortex version.
Also, what about the bringing back of the ProKennex Black Ace?
Does it matter if any pros are using it on tour? People should use the racquet that they are comfortable with, regardless of how many pros are or aren't using it.
KPS88.. if you can handle the weight.. I've seen a few guys bought the racket after try out my racket.. then they can't handle the weight.. you got to give it sometime adjusting to the new weight..
So what, can't we still know if pros are using it? Isn't it it a legitimate question?
Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 and Head Youtek Radical MP. Both are awesome control racquets with some pop and a great amount of spin.
ProKennnex Black Ace 93 is the best new frame in the USA in 2009. It has only been available here for about 5 weeks.
I am very pleased with the Head YT Rad Pro that I got two weeks ago as an upgrade to the MG Rad Pro. I have no idea whether 3Do works or not. But I do like the feel of that racquet. The additional plough of the YT really has helped my ground strokes.
Don't know about the best, but the AG 300 tour is the best for me!
kblade 98 or tour
very happy with my yonex rdis 100 - 93 sq. inch so far.
Dunlop 4D 300.
Youtek Radical Pro
Fischer Black Granite Pro. No.1 98 is the best!
Prince graphite 93 with string hole inserts.
AG 200 16 x 19 is the best frame at a bargain price. Big improvement over the standard 18 x 20 version, which I have always liked.
Volkl Power Bridge 10
So far, this has been a great year for new frames, it seems like almost every company is making vast improvements... Head with the new wilson grip shape, the new prince raquets are light years beyond the previous speed hole versions, babolats are becoming less hollow, the yonex rdis 100 is one of the best serving yonexs to date, the kps finally is taking Wilson back to the days when they made rock solid frames, and Dunlop is still putting out quality sticks........ I guess volkl is the only company putting out their usual line of crap, but almost every 09 frame I have hit with I have been impressed by...... Although I may have become more raquet inteligent as I stayed far away from the Kobras among others....So for me to say something is the best of 09, really means alot. I would probably vote for the new ignite though, it is one of the best frames I have owned in eons, but I will give crediit where credit is due the kps hits monster shots too.
Head Extreme 660.
1 vote for the prince exo graphite 93.. with string-hole inserts.
Aerogel 300 has gotten great reviews, hope to demo one soon.
prince rebel ftw
Volkl PB10 Mid. Nothing else comes close.
dunlop 4d 200
YES!!!!!! We have a winnarrr!!
Speed mp yum

ocular surface disorders
various ocular surface disorders
Detailed Description:
Impression cytology is a simple, noninvasive technique that has been widely used to aid in the diagnosis of several disorders of the ocular surface. The first use of impression cytology specimens for diagnosis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia was reported in France in 1954 by Larmande and Timsit. [1] In the English language literature, Egbert et al [2] in 1977 documented the use of cellulose acetate filters to detect goblet cell density in patients with the dry eye syndrome. Traditionally, the cytology specimens were obtained by pressing cellulose acetate (Millipore) filters onto the surface of the globe, then air-dried and stained with PAS. [2] The procedure is usually painless even without anesthesia. The filters remove 1 to 3 superficial cell layers of conjunctiva and cornea.
Since its first applications in ocular surface squamous neoplasia and dry eye syndrome, [1,2] the use of impression cytology has expanded to include the staging of conjunctival squamous metaplasia, [3,4] diagnosis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia, [5-11] and follow-up of ocular surface squamous neoplasia after topical mitomycin-C, [10] limbal stem-cell deficiency, [12,13] specific viral infections, [14-16] vitamin A deficiency, [17,18] epithelial cell storage disorders, [19] allergic disorders, [19] conjunctival melanosis and malignant melanoma, [20] and psoriasis [21]. The technique has the additional advantage of preserving limbal stem cells, which occur in the basal layer of the limbal epithelium and are responsible for renewal of the corneal epithelium throughout life. Since ocular surface squamous neoplasia preferentially involves the limbus, limbal stem cells are potentially reduced in number with each surgical biopsy. The progressive loss of limbal stem cells results in limbal stem-cell deficiency, conjunctivalization of the cornea with corneal opacity. Thus, impression cytology offers a safer alternative to diagnosis than repeated biopsies.
With impression cytology, the morphology of the corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells, their staining behavior, and nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio could be observed in detail. Other important characteristics such as goblet cell density, the degree of keratinization of the epithelial cells, the quality of the cell-to-cell cohesion, and the condensation of the nuclear chromatin could also be detected through proper specimens. [3, 22-26] Furthermore, with the improvement of immunocytochemical staining and confocal microscopy, specimens of impression cytology can be further analyzed for complicated ocular disorder such as cytokeratins 3 and 19 are useful in classification of limbal stem cell deficiency [27] and mucin secretion of goblet cells can be evaluated by confocal microscopy [28].

Michael Barnes - Vocals
Anthony Armstrong - Guitar
Randy Armstrong - Bass
Over the last decade, RED has emerged as a career artist. Their honesty and transparency about who they are as human beings, what motivates and inspires them, and what they aim to accomplish with each step forward has established an army of loyal fans.
The band's success emerged through a pure emotional connection with their audience, the power of their live performances, and most importantly the passionate, honest dedication of band members Michael Barnes, Anthony Armstrong, and Randy Armstrong. Michael offers, "There is a certain ache in the melody and passion of our music. I feel it can reach emotionally into the soul of the listener and open up places in their heart that they didn't know existed. We wear our emotions on our sleeves, and are OK with who we are and telling others about the struggles we are facing." Anthony adds, "We deliver our music and message aggressively using themes of theatricality and delving into the darkest parts of our lives in order to bring out the good. We are relentless and will stop at nothing to deliver great music that will inspire and bring the best we've got in our performances."
The band's new album of Beauty and Rage is "about suffering and finding the beauty in that," says vocalist Michael. "No one in this world likes to suffer, myself included, but we only become the strong individuals we are today from the trials and hardships we faced in the past. I remember meeting a teenager on Winter Jam 2013 who had terminal cancer. He wanted to meet us because we were his favorite band. In a sense, you might consider this a tragedy since his life was going to be taken away from him at such an early age. What I saw was beauty in the way that he handled his illness. The teen was full of hope and spirit, and even in his last days he was encouraging others and wanting to give of himself to make a difference in this world. To me, that is a testament of the Beauty that can be found in the Rage of life."
To Randy, "RED has always tried to challenge listeners to be real with themselves and confront their struggles head on. Even in the darkest parts of our soul there is room for hope and it's up to us to fill those parts so that we can continue to push forward in dark times and be thankful in brighter days." Anthony adds, "Our struggles as humans are the catalyst for us to experience both the beauty of life and the difficult times that bring rage and confusion. One can't exist without the other. It's okay for us to descend into the darkest parts of our souls to recognize and learn how to draw the beauty out of difficulty and character flaw."
The band's new repertoire captures this theme with intensity. The track "Part That's Holding On" represents the pain in losing a loved one or a relationship abandoned, exploring the feelings of grief alongside the beauty of memories that were shared, and holding on to that ideal utopia that was "Darkest Part" dives into the emotions driven by a person needing salvation from the suffering of a deep seeded struggle within and the feelings of shame, guilt and rejection one might face when opening up to another individual. For Michael, "RED explores that the only thing that saves is God, but we also need to rely on each other and encourage one another in our struggles." Anthony offers, "It's simply about being vulnerable. When you trust someone and show the demons you have hidden away in your life, there is a fear and likelihood of scaring someone away."
The song "Yours Again" exudes with emotion as Michael sings of reconciling again with what he once loved but lost, "Open up my eyes… I'm yours again." In the song "Gravity Lies" Michael offers, "This is a song of self discovery in the 'truth' that you always believed about yourself due to the opinions voiced by others, yet that 'truth' does not really speak into who you are in God."
For Randy, "Darkest Part," "Shadow and Soul" and "Part that's Holding On" most represent the realization of these recordings. "They are the most truthful dives into the human spirit we have ever attempted. As a band we have never been about pulling punches and these three songs are a punch in the throat. In the end we all have to find a way to hold on to what is right and what delivers the best version of ourselves."
The new album offers a transparency RED has always worn on their sleeves in articulating inspiration. For Barnes, "Yours Again" is a song that carries deep personal meaning lyrically. He offers, "I've been down the road of living in sin and thinking it was ok, and lying to myself of how it was affecting the people I loved around me. This song is about reconciling with the person you love or with God. It's a song of redemption." With "Fight to Forget," he offers, "This song is about not conforming to this world and the lies that it brings. It's so easy to be consumed with what other people think, but we are called to separate ourselves from the darkness and from that darkness within. That love is a lie we will fight to forget." Randy reveals, "The songs that have the deepest spiritual meaning for me are 'Yours Again' and 'Part That's Holding On.' I find it a daily struggle to withstand the temptation to think horrible things about other people. We all have people we would prefer were never around. But what's hard is that God made us all, and he wants us to see each other the way he sees us. It's a testament to how merciful God really is. Despite our abilities to do and think and see evil, he never stops loving us. I've done some horrible things in my life that I'm not proud of, and from some of those things I have learned life lessons. Nobody is perfect. If we were, then what would we need a savior for?" And for Anthony, he offers, "'Yours Again' is powerful for me. It's a song that recognizes a love that has always existed, but we either run from it, or we haven't even discovered that it's been there all along. That's an amazing feeling, knowing that there is, and always has been, a love that was designed for each of us."
Amongst the personal favorites for the band members, Michael points to "Shadow and Soul" which he offers was "the most challenging and satisfying song on the record. The ache and yearning in this song wrecks me every time." For Randy, "'Part That's Holding On' is a song that moves me just a little more than the others because it reminds me to hold on to that strength inside that is what keeps me from falling into darkness." As for his brother Anthony, "There isn't a single track on this record that isn't my favorite. They are all sacred to me in what they stand for."
There is a brotherhood – literally and figuratively – that has kept the band together for the past decade. Each individual contributes to the collective, broader vision of RED. Randy reflects, "We have been friends for 27 years and this is what we have always wanted to do. When we were kids we shared the same favorite bands. They moved us, they challenged us, and ultimately encouraged us to make change. That is our goal as a band. Music is for everyone." For Anthony, "We've been together for so long. Of course, sharing this experience in music with your twin brother is pretty incredible. We push each other and it's a juggernaut when it comes to being passionate about every aspect of our career as artists."
Michael offers a reveal of the greater concept at play thematically for of Beauty and Rage sharing, "This record is very introspective. More than the last two albums. It dives back into the days of our second album Innocence & Instinct. The concept for of Beauty and Rage is the dichotomy of good and evil and finding Beauty out of things that we suffer within our lives. The visuals in the graphic novel and music video have these plague-masked creatures which represent the darkest evil that is inside of us trying to take us over." Randy elaborates, "When you are trying to reach people you don't do it with a match, you do it with the FIRE. With the visuals we came up with early this past year, we wanted to find a creative way to put the listener in a maze. The maze is this forest we found in Poland called 'The Crimson Forest.' The trees are black and the leaves turn red in the fall and drop to the ground leaving a blanket of red. It's such a beautiful, serene world that anyone could see the appeal. We draw in the listeners with these beautiful moments all over the album in the midst of the rage that represents the things that can and always go wrong in life, then we throw in some monsters (whom actually are ourselves) and they are chasing us constantly. The chase is the battle we all fight against ourselves."
When assessing direct inspiration, Michael has a keen sense of passages that play into the lyrical content of the album. He offers, "I love the verse in Romans 5:10 for the song 'Yours Again.' 'For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!'" For 'Darkest Part,' a great verse for the only one who can save us would be Romans 7:24 - 'What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!' And for "Falling Sky" perhaps Galatians 6:7-8 - '.....A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction, the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life'." For Randy, he looks towards Psalm 119:10, and the connection to "I have tried hard to find you - don't let me wander from your commands." He shares, "Another verse that is standing out for me and has helped me through this record and my life is Ephesians 4:31-32 and the passage, 'Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you'."
As RED looks forward, Michael shares, "2015 will be a building year for us. I am feeling very confident in the music and hope the emotions in the songs will be realized and connect well with our audience and new listeners. My hopes for beyond would be that we would be able to show this record, in live set design, to its full capacity. We would love to maximize the world that we have created between the music and graphic novel, and bring it to the live stage. We want to put on a show that is unexpected and people will be talking about for years to come." Randy offers, "My hopes for 2015 and beyond are just to continue to make music that people will appreciate their whole life – music we can always be proud of because we were real."
RED Discography: End of Silence (2006), Innocence & Instinct (2009), Until We Have Faces (2011), Release The Panic (2013), of Beauty and Rage (2015)
The band has won six Dove Awards, while being nominated a total of seventeen times. RED's first two albums received a Grammy nomination in the Best Rock Gospel Album category.

What are your motivations to keep running until the ice and snow melt?
What Keeps You Motivated?
What are your motivations to keep running until the ice and snow melt?
Beacuse deep down I know I am the Blerch
I like to run. So I do.
Things that motivate me:
1. That other guy is out running and getting the leg up if I stay in (when I'm feeling competetive)
2. Boy my log looks nice with all the days filled in
3. I will appreciate the hard work I put in during the cold and miserable runs when shirtless season comes around
4. The mirror reflects the hard work
5. All the work up until now was only a waste of time if I quit now
6. It's not (as) fun to run races undertrained
Things that motivate me:
1) I still have a fair amount of potential improvement in my race times I want to hit before the benefits of improved fitness are wiped out by the impacts of age.
2) I like to eat and I don't want to go back to the 230+ I was before I started
3) Most days, I enjoy my runs...especially the sense of accomplishment they bring
4) I spent too much on the shoes/Garmin/etc to not use them
5) It is FAR better than running when it is 80 degrees and humid already at 7:00 AM in August
We still get snow/ice/cold in southern MO (its 15-degrees with about an inch of fresh snow from last night as I type this), but typically we get a fair number of 40-50 degree winter days to offset it so its not so bad. If I lived further north, I don't know if I'd be as successful at running in the winter.
Nothing? I dunno, for me I don't see it as a choice. Like I shower, I eat, I wear underwear, I run. It doesn't occur to me NOT to anymore. Maybe it was initially fear of regaining weight. Or failure to improve. Or some race in the future. But now it seems to be routine that keeps me going. Weather or feelings don't factor in for me.
I've had years in the past where I've stopped running for the winter and did P90X and Insanity. It was so hard starting again in the spring. I know that if I don't run thru the winter, it would set me back too much.
I like to run. So I do.
+1 also I want to set new PRs. Nearly always this involves logging the miles. Nearly always the higher your weekly miles average the better chance of new PRs.
I tell myself that on race day, I'll beat the guy who didn't get out there on those miserable days. Probably just wishful thinking but it works.
A few things...
I feel great after I run ( and usually during the run as well)
It beats running in the summer heat and humidity
I don't want to start over in the spring.
I don't want to gain "winter" weight
I see my best improvements in the winter
I'm competitive, with myself, and others. I know that all the people I want to be as fast as are out running in all types of weather and not wussing out, so I do too. I also know that I won't meet my goals sitting on my butt watching t.v. and stuffing my face, so I get out and exercise.
I also like the feeling that I'm tougher than others when I'm out running in the cold and snow, when others stay indoors on treadmills. I also happen to like the feeling of my body working like a finely tuned machine. Missing just a few workouts makes me lose that feeling until I get it back again.
New shoes. Of course this is also expensive.
Knowing that if I don't keep running in the winter, spring will be SO much harder...
My pants button easily. I like that.
Signing up for a race is a good motivation - I hate to waste $$, and I know my time will be on the internet for all eternity.
It's my "me" time to veg out for an hour with my headphones on, and no one is bugging me to do chores, or cook, or whatever. My other "me" pasttime is crafts, which are easily interrupted by my family.
I love winter. I can strength train super hard, and not worry about it screwing up a race. I don't have any yard work, so I have more time to get in better shape. I love kicking ass in spring races. I'll run outside in any temps, as long as the roads are dry and the wind isn't blowing. But if it's snowing/raining/blowing, I have my treadmill, xc ski machine, weights, and spin bike in my basement along with a big fan, TV, and plenty of ice water.
Excel is my #1 motivator. I put all my miles there, and it helps me plan my month/year.
Right now I am not motivated. The overnight low is -23 and wind chill of -35. That's -9 and -31 for you SI illiterates. And when I do get out it's not really any motivation that gets me out, but more of a compulsion.
In a nutshell:
1) I don't want to be fat forever.
2) I enjoy winter, and I like to run in a light snow more than anything. It's like getting a leg massage, they never hurt after a run on a dusting of snow.
Right now I am not motivated. The overnight low is -23 and wind chill of -35. That's -9 and -31 for you SI illiterates. And when I do get out it's not really any motivation that gets me out, but more of a compulsion.
The SI unit of temperature is kelvin ( K) and not Celsius
This morning when I put my shoes on it was 27 degrees and snowing. Skipping the run never crossed my mind. I have a short term goal, mid term goal (5 months out), and a long term goal (9 months out). Every run gets me closer to these goals. Without goals, we lack the direction needed to stay focused.
Good luck,
I like cold better than heat.
it is snowing right now.
I live right across the road from a golf course than I can only run on if it snows.
if does not snow I run a trail 1 mile from my house in the same park.
Nice cartoon, SuperCrazy!
I'd like to say my motivation comes from racing, but that's a minor factor for me.
I love the feel of those rare, really great runs - the kind of runs where I feel like I'm floating effortlessly as the miles fly by. I love letting go and eating whatever I feel like, knowing I'll burn the extra calories off. I love passing every runner I see on the trail, when I'm just on an easy run. (I remember how everyone passed me when I first started out.) I love the way I look and feel after losing 75lbs. I love looking at my watch on an impromptu tempo run and realizing "Wow. That was my 5k race pace not long ago." I love knowing that I'm aerobically fit enough to handle most situations, whether that means heavy yard work, a ski trip, or helping a friend move heavy furniture out of an apartment.
I love the fact that running is such a personal sport. It's just me and the road. Nobody is there to watch over me and yell if I'm "not doing it right". I love smoking guys who challenge me to impromptu races on the trail. I love the fact that I don't have to spend much money to enjoy my sport. All that counts is how much time and effort I put into my running, not how many thousands of dollars I throw into it.
I know if I stop running, I will lose all endless hours and effort I have invested in getting to the point where I am. I also know I will lose the potential to run even better in the future. I don't have much self-control when it comes to dieting, so I'd probably just revert to the lazy fatso I was prior to running. Like my brother, I'll likely end up with diabeties or some other lifestyle related illness.
That's my motivation to grind out the miles, even when I'm not having fun, and would rather be lying on my butt in bed or watching the tube.
the clothes in my closet that I don't want to replace with bigger sizes
Sucking at races. Because I KNOW I should be able to do better and I will prove it at the next one.
I want to look better than my two brothers.
That was accomplished 4 years ago, but it's a constant source of pride for me, and a continued pain in the arse to them, so I have to keep doing it.
No, I am not kidding.
Um....what is "winter"? Living in South Florida, we don't come by this term often. On occasion, we hear tales by the elderly telling us of times when the weather would drop below 70 degrees. I have heard other runners (who are visiting to run local races in Miami) tell me of having to wear a jacket or (god forbid) gloves to keep warm. I know NOT of these things. But, from looking at the above posts, this must be what winter is.
I've never really thought of running as seasonal, I do it all year. I used to be a strictly treadmill runner, but I've converted over the past few years.
Now, my dog definitely motivates me. He needs the exercise to burn off some energy, and he LOVES the snow. As soon as he sees me putting on my running gear, his tail starts wagging and he follows me around the house until I put his leash on him.
My dog is my only running partner so my motivation through the dreary winter doldrums is the Mile Game, the Winter Running Game, and 2014 in 2014. The Winter Running Game is closed to new entrants now but there's still the Bohemians & Benchwarmers.
During the coldest weather, it's tough. But even in snow, I love getting outdoors and enjoying nature. The world itself motivates me, and I've been able to get through 38 years without quitting yet.
I like to run. So I do.
You don't count , I read you live in SW Colorado. The only thing that would keep me from running there is the desire to be hiking. I think were talking about staring at day after day of cold, wet, gray and icy, high traffic roads with no shoulders on them. That or treadmill.

We'll get back to you in August .
Somewhere down the line, be it at a spring goal race, fall race or just trying to beat my running partner, my January is going to meet someone else's January. I want my January to win.

My dog has been gone for several years now but when people would say you have to be nuts going out in the snow and blah blah, I'm like OK than you tell her she isn't running tonight!
I like when Mother Nature mixes it up a little bit, heat and humidity, snow, rain etc. Last night was the coldest I remember in a while. It seemed pretty bad at first but felt good after I got going.
I only love winter running because I love my winter gear. Running in the snow is totally enjoyable, but only with the right shoes and the right layers.

When "300" came out almost seven years ago, you probably either thought it was the coolest movie of all time or the lamest movie of all time. While it was dumb and silly, the film's glorified violence, striking look, and classic one-liners did admittedly have an effect on the macho dinosaur in me. The sad truth is that the style over substance appeal of "300" is only good for one movie. The first time you see such eye candy popping out at the screen, it's friggin' awesome. The second time around, it's about as repetitive as watching Optimus Prime transform over and over again. That's just one of the reasons why "300: Rise of the Empire" is dead on arrival.
This long awaited sequel of sorts shifts focus from Leonidas and his merry men to the Greek navy. They're lead by general Themistokles, played by Sullivan Stapleton who can't hold a candle to Gerard Butler. On the opposing team is Eva Green as Artemisia, a Greek dominatrix now playing for the Persian army. It's nearly impossible to remember any of these characters by name, as they're all interchangeable blank slates lacking any humor or personality. Granted, a few have interesting back-stories, such as Rodrigo Santoro as good old Xerxes. However, the exposition is so rushed through dull narration that you never develop an emotional connection to anyone.
But what am I doing using words like "emotion" in a review of "300?" Nobody going to see this movie will care about the character development or the hero's journey. What they will care about is super slow mo action, CGI blood, pointless nudity, CGI backdrops, unintentionally hilarious sex scenes, CGI everything, speeches ripped-off from superior historical war epics, and more action. What's really shocking is that "300: Rise of an Empire" can't even deliver a descent action set piece.
Much of the film takes place on giant, bland ships on the bland, dark sea. Restricting the major battles to one environment backfires big time, making the already repetitive action feel even more repetitive. The vibrant colors of the original film are meanwhile traded in for a grimy look as rain pours on our topless heroes. Director Noam Murro can occasionally produce a nice shot. But for the most part, he's made quite a lifeless looking film that's a pale imitation of Zack Snyder's original.
"300: Rise of an Empire" is without any applause worthy kills. It doesn't have a single quotable line of dialog. The film isn't even memorable enough for the likes of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer to "parody." Halfway through, you'll find yourself thinking, "This is actually kind of boring." When it's all over, you'll be thinking, "Seriously, that was it?" The fact that a movie such as this isn't even mindlessly entertaining is the greatest sin of all.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 5.30.14
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed, where I've already blown my lefty liberal wad of the day on Mariah Carey's crazy cleavage, so I'm just going to point to to fat Rob Kardashian (HA, He's so fucking fat!), clean and sober Lindsay Lohan and The Gay Mafia's failed hit attempt on Maria Menounos, because even they know her butt will eventually become sentient and make us all do terrible things.
*eyes glaze over* Yes, Lord Gluteon Bulbous Maximus…capture Jennifer Lopez and present her at the altar. As you wish…

Leverstock Green A overcame Frogmore's stubborn resistance last night to set up a Watford Observer Fourteen14 Plate Final against Bushey on Tuesday.
Excellent ground fielding from the Herts League Division Nine underdogs meant that Green's total - which threatened to increase on the steady ten-runs-per-over rate at one point - ended at 158 for five and gave Frogmore a least a glimmer of a chance of creating an upset.
Thirty-five was contributed to Levy's score by wides, however, offering little chance of applying pressure to the Division Two batting line-up.
In-form Nick Merrett hit 38 atop the order with Marc Simonds' 35 the only other meaningful contribution with the bat.
Chris Alger was the most economical of eight Frogmore bowlers used, going for just 15 from two eight-ball overs.
Frogmore's reply enjoyed a breezy start, the run rate sufficiently high to cause Green to introduce their spinners on a two-paced Watford Town track as early as the third over.
It stemmed the runs from what had been a useful opening stand between Daniel Albon (12) and Ayres (23).
Number three George Martin worked his way to 17, but the boundaries dried up on the 11 runs-per-over chasing rate required - until Alex Coker's lusty middle-order 22 ensured a three-figure total would be recorded by the Park Street-based club.
Lewis Koch's off-spin garnered three for 17 and skipper Sam Mazurek picked up three for 11 later on as Leverstock Green booked their final place by a margin of 57 runs.
The first of this year's Fourteen14 finals takes place tomorrow evening at Chipperfield Clarendon's ground when Abbots Langley meet Radlett in the climax to the Shield competition.

Some Dues Ex: Human Revolution DLC may be coming for Hitman Absolution according to a rumour from Siliconera.
If the rumour does indeed turn out to be true, then the content we'll be getting will be extra weapons and outfits. A skin of the protagonists outfit, Adam Jensen, is believed to be featured as part of the DLC alongside a gun from Human Revolution. The Public Enemy, High Roller and High Tech suits are also said to be part of the DLC. The packs were released as part of the pre-order incentives for the game.
This wouldn't be the first piece of crossgame DLC we've seen in SquareEnix game. Sleeping Dogs featured Rico's outfit from 2010's Just Cause 2.

Please help! My boyfriend is a mechanic and there are motor oil stains in our bathroom sink! Does anyone know how I can get these pesky stains off the porcelain?
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
If the porcelain surface is in tact it is unlikely the sink itself is stained. Have you tried a mild abrasive cleaner? Or try filling the sink with water, adding bleach and leave overnight.
I would try mechanics hand cleaner, the goop in a jar that gets motor oil and grease off your hands. It is available at the auto parts store. Put some on a rag or paper towel and rub it into the stains. Wipe clean with another paper towel or rag and see if it is gone. Repeat as necessary. Hopefully that will dissolve the oil so it comes out.
- Susan
Well, we are deisel freaks here and teh only thing I use on grease any where any time gets it ever time from carpet to refridgerator door handle to teh knobs on the tub and the faucet in the sink and everything in between..... DAWN (the old blue kind not with any lotions or oils or scents) dishsoap and a little sponge and water..... I am often ask by others in our trucking field how we keep teh clothes and carpet and driveway and tools and selves clean from the grease.. I jsut smile and say DAWN. I leave a bottle in the bathroom at all times so he and I can wash with that instead of bar or liquid soap. the grease just lingeres with everything else!
Dollar general store still carries teh old blue kind I have come to know and love for still only a dollar a bottle. wallmart I think has it for 97 cents. and if that doesn't work let sink dry completely rub a genours amount of WD40 on all effected areas rub it in to the stains..... this will loosen teh stains , Now use the DAWN and it will come out. Good luck.
My boyfriend always has motor oil on his tighty whiteys! They wont come out! If you think that is bad then try getting out the gasoline stains! holy cow! ! !
Lacey I sell a cleaner that's made for cleaning oil stains E-mail me and i can send you a sample to try.
I had some odd yellow stains in my white enamel kitchen sink which did not respond to the usual bleach cleaner/Bon Ami cleanser. I tried peroxide, bathroom cleaner, cooktop cleaner, Soft Scrub, window cleaner, mildew inhibitor, Borax with lemon juice, OxyCLean with lemon juice, white vinegar and baking soda; I even dabbed on a bit of acetone (which is not something I wanted to do) and tried Awesome cleaner and pure bleach, which I let sit. NOTHING. Then I came home and it was as pure as the driven snow. My husband had bought and used a bit of BarKeepers' Friend. Unbelieveable.

Audiograbber (MP3 ripping tool) - now freeware!
On February 9, 2004 Audiograbber will be released as freeware. When I sold my other cd-ripper AudioCatalyst to Xing I signed a contract which has not allowed me to release Audiograbber as freeware but on February 9, 2004 that contract expires. It has been a great journey and experience making Audiograbber and it has paid off well so now I feel it is time to give something back to the "Internet and MP3 community" so freeware it will be. I am also fed up with all the administrative work which I now hope it will be less of. I will continue developing Audiograbber and with less administrative work I can hopefully spend more time making new versions.

The SOCCKET ball harnesses kinetic energy which can then be used as an off-grid power source.
It has been developed in the US and its use is being piloted in deprived areas of both North and South America.
Money is being raised to put the ball into full production using the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
SOCCKET had a small pendulum inside that harnesses the energy of movement by turning a generator connected to a rechargeable battery.
Half an hour of play generates enough energy to power a small LED light for three hours.
The airless ball, made from water-resistant EVA foam, weighs 17 ounces - just one ounce more than a regular football.
"Since we first prototyped the SOCCKET we have been fortunate to receive overwhelming demand and interest from people who want to use them for many purposes," the statement on the Kickstarter page says.
"We've given SOCCKETs to families living without light. We've worked with teachers to use SOCCKETs to teach about energy, poverty, and entrepreneurship."
At the moment production is limited to "a few hundred" balls a week. With the crowdfunding they hope to be able to increase the production to thousands a week.
The statement adds: "Doing this will enable us to reach more people with the SOCCKET while still being able to perform our manufacturing in the USA."
Pledges on Kickstarter begin at $89 (£59).

New SanDisk gadgets make great gifts for non-geeks
When shopping for the holidays, think digital. Keep in mind that great things come in small packages, and this year SanDisk has plenty of electronic delights to brighten up the gift-giving season. The world's original inventor and largest manufacturer of flash memory cards for digital cameras and other portable devices has some of the coolest stuff this side of the North Pole. SanDisk is offering a bagful of goodies that just about anyone can enjoy, from new ultra-compact flash MP3 music players to a viewer that can show digital snapshots on virtually any TV set. And for budget-minded shoppers, SanDisk has stocking-stuffers that cost as little as $9.99 for Shoot & Store flash memory cards that work in most popular digital cameras.
SanDisk products are available worldwide at the more than 93,000 retail outlets, including electronics and photography stores.
* Flash MP3 Music Players:
SanDisk recently launched its new line of flash-based Digital Audio Players, which are compact yet packed with features such as playback of MP3 and WMA music tracks, FM stereo radio and voice recorder. Smaller, lighter and far more durable than hard-drive players, the SanDisk players can slip into a pocket or purse. With the included ear buds, the stereo sound is great and the player can operate for up to 15 continuous hours on its single AAA alkaline battery. SanDisk's Digital Audio Players are available in capacities of 256 megabytes, 512MB and 1 gigabyte, storing approximately eight to 32 music CDs, depending on capacity. Also included is a mini USB cable that can be hooked up to a personal computer for easy music transfers. Suggested retail prices range from $89.99 to $199.99.
* High-Speed Flash Memory Cards:
SanDisk Ultra II and super-fast SanDisk Extreme III flash cards are designed specifically for the latest generation of digital SLR cameras. These cards come in the three most popular formats -- CompactFlash, SD cards and Memory Stick PRO, and work just fine with any of the myriad of format-appropriate digital camera models on the market this year. For a gift that will be appreciated by avid digital camera users, get them a SanDisk Ultra II or SanDisk Extreme III 1GB or 2GB card. Prices range from $99.95 to $299.95.
* SanDisk Photo Album:
Wondering how to share digital photos with friends and family? It's easy with the SanDisk Photo Album (SPA), a player that connects to a television. With this device, you can present a slide show of digital pictures from just about any type of flash memory -- including eight different card formats as well as USB flash drives. The SPA enables you to instantly create and store slide shows, as well as video clips, without using a computer. Further, by connecting the SPA to a stereo system, it becomes an MP3 music jukebox, playing tunes from a memory card or a USB flash drive. It can even run background music during slide shows. Another handy feature is that the SPA lets you tag those images that you want to print at your local 1-hour print center, without standing in line at an image viewing station. Measuring just 7.4 x 2.6 x 0.8 inches (187 x 66 x 20 millimeters) and with a suggested retail price of $49.99, the SPA packs a lot of entertainment in a compact device for your living room.
* Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive:
Computer users never have enough transportable memory, so a USB flash drive is a welcome gift. The SanDisk Cruzer Micro is about half the size of a pack of chewing gum but it carries up to 512MB of data -- more than the memory of 350 floppy disks -- and can store all types of data, from digital photos to MP3 music files. And here's a bonus: The Micro mates with an optional music player called the Cruzer Micro MP3 Companion, which can play MP3 or WMA files. If you want more music, just carry extra Cruzer Micros. Suggested retail prices, depending on capacity, are $29.99 to $59.99 for the Micros and $64.99 for the Companion.
* ImageMate 12-in-1 PC Card Reader/Writer:
Photography buffs who want to transfer their pictures, digital videos or any other data to a computer can do so easily with the SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 reader. Just push a button on the device for rapid transfers, printing, emailing or displaying. As a handy accessory for a laptop or a desktop PC, the reader comes with a removable docking station, a USB cable, and Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition software. It supports virtually every memory card format currently available with no additional adapters, and multiple cards can be inserted simultaneously for card-to-card data transfers. Suggested retail price is $34.99.
Aside from these nifty items, gift-givers should be sure to stock up on extra flash memory cards when giving digital cameras. SanDisk is the only company that manufactures and markets all of the major memory card formats.
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash memory cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash memory data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology.

my best deal ever ....whats yours?
this is not a lie......i bought a s&w mod 29 .44 mag 8.5 blue in great shape ..from an aquaintance ...for 350.00 and it was run tru computer ...not hot ..its a 3 screw circa 1982 . didnt travis bickle pay the same for his ? lol im gonna have ''travis bickle'' and ''taxi driver ''engraved on the sides of the barrel
I don't even know you, and I already don't like you.;) Congrats on the new "hog leg". Wish I had a good story,but I always end up paying double. Maybe I should change my forum name to Eyor.:o
Winchester 1897 12 gauge built in 1913 that my dad traded away when I was a kid. One of his best friends found where it ended up about 5 years after my dad passed away and bought it and gave it to me. Cost: $0, value: Priceless.
fireguy ...
that is priceless .... know how sometimes things always find their way home...what a great gun ...and better story ...you know when you and your dad meet again in the hereafter,hes gonna want it back ....lol
I've gotten a couple. The most recent was this one I suppose.
1995 Harrington & Richardson 999 Sportsman, 6" barrel. The only thing wrong is the rear sight is missing. I made one, but really need to go ahead and order one.
$138.00 out the door.
Two come to mind.
1. At a local gun show- flat broke, but wanted to drool over the guns. One seller had a bunch of ammo rolled up in a canvas strip- whole thing was about 15 inches across- asked what he wanted for it- said $5. Well, I DID have $5. Pulled out a few assorted rounds for my cartridge collection. Sorted out the rest. Included some 30-40 Krag, 40 rounds of .348 Winchester, 60 rds of 7.62 NATO Tracer, and 10 rounds of copper cased 45-70 (Benet primed) I sold the ammo to 4 different dealers, and was left with the strip of canvas- and realized it was an early machinegun belt. Sold that to a Class III dealer. Walked out with $100 in cash.
2. Local auction. Bidding on 2 boxes of assorted junk sitting on a small wooden desk (with a broken leg)- wanted a nice wood plane in one box. Got the 2 boxes for a dollar. Auction moved down the way to another pile, when a guy offered me $5.00 for a motor that was in one box. Sure. When I was loading boxes into my truck auction staff said "Don't forget your desk." Seems the desk went with the boxes. When I got home, was pulling the drawers, and in the back of the bottom drawer was a nice little nickeled .32 S&W hammerless. (loaded). I called the auctioneer next day- he advised that sale had been from an estate, no one had declared any guns, it was in a lot I bought, and was now mine. Fixed leg on desk, daughter used it for 10 years. Got the plane,a desk, a pistol, and $4 cash.
A guy walked into my shop just after I had received my FFL, he wanted me to look over & buy some rifles he had, I told him I wasn't yet stocking rifles...
His answer was he was getting a divorce & he was selling all 6 for $300-on top of that I could keep the big box of ammo. One of the rifles was a Marlin 336 with a decent scope, easily worth $300 by itself!
I won't mention the free guns that are given to me a couple of times a year, but here is my Armscorp M14 that set me back $12.50.
Had to trade a Walther P99 .40 for the JAE stock, but did not mind as the stock sells for about $1,100.
Stainless Smith and Wesson Model 60(chiefs). 2 1/8" bbl. 2 safariland comp speedloaders, safariland OWB, 200 rds ammo. $300.
Being the moderator of a popular guntrading forum and getting an email everytime something is posted and being able to cherrypick- PRICELESS.
Best deal ever?!
Well, I have made lots of great deals on "things"... But, the best deal for my
$100.00 would be the Beagle pup known as Goober that still holds our family
record as the smartest one & longest lived one! (4-12-1992 to 9-21-2008)!

RNAS Culdrose 3 Falmouth Town 3 (Falmouth won on penalties)
Both Culdrose and Falmouth Town have struggled this season - Town especially so since the departure of former manager Bryn Wheeler towards the end of 2013.
But his successors Marc Rose and Danny Knowles had something to celebrate on Saturday after a dramatic penalty shootout cup victory at the Sports Pavillion saw them book their place in the semi-finals of the league cup.
Jim Green's thunderbolt from the edge of the box, and Spike Hughes's close range effort for Culdrose were cancelled out by goals from Alex Ottaway and a brace from Steve Retchford for Falmouth.
Retchford and team mate Darren Friend both missed normal-time penalties for Town, but the visitors redeemed themselves by winning the shootout 3-0 after the game finished 3-3 in extra time.
Mullion 3 Newquay 0
Mullion scored three second half goals to ease their way past Newquay, who put up a real fight despite the scoreline suggesting otherwise.
The second half was just five minutes old when Mullion took the lead, Joe Lugg finishing off a tidy move.
Phil Cattran scored the second soon after, and Rob Carey completed the scoring in the 76th minute when he latched on to Lugg's through ball and drove his shot past the keeper.
Newquay will have an early opportunity to gain revenge over Mullion when they face them in the league next weekend.
St Just 1 St Day 2
St Just and St Day are both enjoying successful league campaigns, but St Day's title charge has shown signs of faltering in recent weeks. This hard-earned victory over St Just was the perfect way for Matt Harris's side to restore some confidence as the season enters its final stages.
Mikey Davies opened the scoring for St Day on the half hour mark when he swept in from Dominic Pullen's probing through ball.
The home side had a penalty appeal turned down before Rob Troon headed them level just after half time.
But they were only on level terms for five minutes before a St Day counter attack resulted in Tom Hogarth firing in what proved to be the decisive goal.
Ludgvan 3 Penryn Athletic 1
We have just entered March and Gerens James has already scored 44 goals in the Combination League this season. It's a statistic worth repeating - although perhaps not if you're a Penryn fan.
The only surprise after Ludgvan's comfortable 3-1 victory over Athletic was that James's name was not the only one on the scoresheet for the home side.
The league's top scorer opened his account from the penalty spot just before the half hour mark, but Connor Edgson levelled for Penryn soon after the restart.
James had to wait until the 70th minute before scoring his second, and Jamie Devine's fine effort just before full-time completed the scoring for Ludgvan, who move up to second in the table.
St Ives 0 Illogan RBL 1
The team Ludgvan - and everyone else - is chasing, Illogan, were pushed all the way by St Ives at the Saltings, but victory by a single goal ensures they maintain their 14 point lead at the top of the table.
They were forced to wait until the 82nd minute before Matt Roberts fired in the only goal of the game from the edge of the box.
Prior to that Sam Waters had gone close, and Luke Johnson forced a superb stop out of St Ives keeper Martyn Harding, but Roberts's goal means Illogan march on. Can ayone catch them?
Troon 3 Porthleven 1
This was a must-win game for both sides, but after falling to a morale-sapping defeat surely nothing can save Tony Roberts's Porthleven side from tumbling out of the Combination League?
The Fishermen are level on points with Troon at the foot of the table, but the victors on Saturday have a massive five games in hand and Port look increasingly in need of a miracle.
Matt Osborne opened the scoring for Troon in the 25th minute before Andrew Paul pulled one back for the visitors.
Marcus Smith missed a penalty for Port, before Osborne and brother Andy sealed the win for Troon, leaving Roberts's side staring down the barrel.
Perranwell 1 Redruth United 2
Redruth's first season as a combination League club could hardly have gone any better, and victory over Perranwell on Saturday all but confirmed their status as a top ten team.
They took the lead in the 40th minute when Brett Adams finished off a route one move.
Perranwell equalised late in the second half when Ben Manley met Luke Brabyn's cross with a powerful header.
But Perranwell's relief was short-lived, and five minutes later Redruth restored their lead when Andy Bishop fired in the winner.
Hayle 0 Falmouth Athletic 0
A point apiece was a fair result after an evenly matched encounter which saw both Hayle and Atheltic spurn half-chances to take maximum points.
A lacklustre first half gave way to an equally uneventful second 45 minutes, but Athletic brielfy came to life late on when a couple of set pieces in promising positions offered the visitors a sniff of a goal.
But they came to nothing, and with both sets of defenders well on top it was only ever going to end in a draw.
St Agnes 2 Goonhavern 0
Goonhavern may have hauled themselves off the bottom of the table, but with Troon's victory over Porthleven they can't afford to many slip ups like this.
True, mid-table St Agnes might have expected to take all three points, but with tricky conditions acting as a leveller, the visitors might have hoped to at least nick a point.
As it was they came away with nothing. Mike Burn drive drove the opener in from the edge of the box, and James Salisbury nodded in the second late on.
Goonhavern remain two points clear of both Porthleven and Troon, but having played three more games than the bottom club it promises to be a nail-biting end to the season.

ATLANTA — A lawyer for an Athens man accused of manufacturing illegal drugs told the Georgia Supreme Court on Monday that state law doesn't allow police to get a search warrant to gather thermal imaging to discover marijuana growing in a garage.
However, a prosecutor, a judge and the Court of Appeals say the 2009 search warrant the Northeast Drug Task Force used was proper.
The case may be the first of its kind in any state's court to confront the issue.
Police contend that the grainy video they got shows heat given off by grow lights and energy consumption that was greater than that in neighboring homes, providing them with probable cause to get a second search warrant to enter James Brundige's home.
A 10-year-old U.S. Supreme Court decision requires officers to get a search warrant to aim a heat-measuring camera at a suspect's home. But Georgia law dealing with search warrants specifically applies to "tangible evidence."
Brundige's lawyer, Benjamin Pearlman, told the seven justices on the state's top court that because the law specifies tangible evidence, prosecutors can't introduce evidence in the upcoming trial that resulted from the imaging. He hopes that will also block the physical search of the garage and all of the plants found there.
"My contention is that, under Georgia law, the statute authorizing the issuance of a search warrant does not authorize a thermal-imaging search warrant," he said.
Justice David Nahmias, a former federal prosecutor, said instead of getting a warrant for thermal imaging, the police could have simply asked for a warrant to search the garage because they had already found pot in Brundige's outdoor garbage can.
"I don't know why you'd ever get a warrant just for thermal imaging," he said.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Brian Patterson said legislators used the word tangible to distinguish from imaginary evidence, rather than requiring that it be physical.
Nahmias observed that data, like that in cell phones and computers, is also not tangible and is frequently the subject of search warrants.
A separate problem for the prosecution is the police's two-day delay in delivering the imaging search warrant to Brundige. Patterson argued that it was an oversight and that officers acted in good faith.
Justice Harris Hines was blunt.
"I'll just tell you it doesn't look good," he said.
Brundige's trial will wait until the justices hand down their ruling in the next four to six months.

Here are Five of the Worst Adult Halloween Costumes For Sale This Year
If you're looking to buy a Halloween costume this year…Avoid These.
Some of the worst ones we've seen are Sexy Oscar the Grouch, a 'big foot' costume that's not the half-man, half-ape but literally a large foot…a costume of the Sun that's just a yellow felt circle with a few points. A woman's full-body jumpsuit that has "Halloween" printed on it for no apparent reason.

Report: Chrysler Ends Engine Alliance With Mitsubishi and Hyundai
In a brief statement, Chrysler has announced that the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) is now entirely owned by the U.S. automaker, with both former partners, Mitsubishi and Hyundai, having sold their parts of the company.
This may sound like a dull bit of business news, but it could most certainly have a big impact on some of the coolest engines on the planet. Sure, the engines that originated from GEMA have found there way into less exciting vehicles like the Chrysler Sebring, but the same engines have also been the backbone of cars like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.oT. The high-powered Caliber SRT4 also used a version of a GEMA engine.
Three basic engines have come out of GEMA with displacements of 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4-liters, many of which were fitted with turbochargers and superchargers to make as much as 300hp.
There is no word if the end of the GEMA partnership could affect future Hyundai and Mitsubishi powertrain developments, but you can be sure the decision had a lot to do with Chrysler's new Fiat ownership.
Official release after the jump:
Chrysler Group LLC Statement Regarding Status of the GEMA Alliance
Auburn Hills, Mich., Sep 10, 2009 – Effective August 31, 2009, Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chrysler Group LLC. Former GEMA partners, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Hyundai Motor Company, have sold their interests in the manufacturing alliance to the Chrysler Group. Going forward, GEMA and its employees will continue to build state-of-the-art engines for Chrysler Group's line of exciting, fuel efficient vehicles.

It's 1am in San Diego, I'm loopy, it's my birthday, I've had whiskey and cake and I just read motherfuckin' Space Punisher #1. Here we go.
I walked into the comic shop this morning before heading down south to Comic-Con, and saw SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE PUNISHERRRRRRRRRRR! shout out to me from the shelf. I picked it up, then almost put it back because I saw it was Frank Tieri, who has been funny but has also written some of the most nonsensical malarkey ever – his run on the original Deadpool series was memorably insane both in content (a Death of Superman spoof featuring a version of Wade Wilson who only talked about pickles) and in actual story construction (don't ask, I still can't explain what he tried to do with T-Ray). Then I saw Mark Texeira on art and reconsidered, as he did some of the absolutely badass stuff I love from the original few issues of Christopher Priest's Black Panther. Then I realized "Jesus Motherhumpin' Christ on a pogo stick, this is SPACE PUNISHER. Frank Tieri might be the ONLY motherfucker who should be writing this thing."
Just as I expected, Space Punisher is absolutely fucking ridiculous. It's a four part miniseries where they apparently told Tieri he could just go apeshit with the entire Marvel Universe in his own little alternate reality, and that's exactly what he's doing. Technically, it is Frank Castle in space, but he's not the sullen hardass we've come to know and watch with baited breath in Greg Rucka's current series. No, he's basically a tough-talkin' action hero with a robot sidekick named Chip and a giant talking spaceship named Maria who scolds him about language. He's hunting a crime syndicate called The Six Fingered Hand.
So the first thing he does is jump out of his spaceship onto a symbiote-encrusted space whale and starts fighting "Sym-Brood-Ants." Basically symbiote-infested Brood. He shoots a bunch of them with guns he has named Sound and Fury. And he has a space helmet and a pony tail.
Then there's a place called Starjammer where a creep named Corsair has just had a tryst with a horse-tailed woman, a mermaid, a woman with at least 10 breasts, a centaur, a dude, a horse, a chicken and a jellyfish. The Starjammer is apparently a space bar, where everyone from Blastaar and Annihilus to Thanos and Boba Fett hang out. Space Punisher is there to smack Corsair around for info, and Space Rhino has a problem with that. Then he hunts down a fish guy named Barracuda and comes across fish porn before learning that the 6FH figureheads are Dr. Octopus (actual half-octopus), the Green Goblin (with purple batwings), Magneto (who looks like Ho Chi Minh), the Red Skull and a blue alien doof named Ultron. Then suddenly, Sabretooth, Deadpool and the Glass-Jar-Headed Leader attack Space Punisher, who is wearing a fucking cape.
The only proper response to this is "what the fuck?" Texeira's art is pretty cool, Tieri's story is fucking batshit. If you want to see a weirdo out-of-nowhere WTF take on cosmic Marvel, look no further than Motherfuckin' SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE PUNISHERRRRRRRR.
I'm not even rating this one. It defies convention in every way. You'll either be fascinated by this crazy-ass mess or you'll think it's pointless tripe. No middle ground… although oddly enough, you could possibly be both.

great stomp pad
This stomp pad is great, I don't fall getting off the lift anymore and it really helps with my straight glides. Also great for just getting snow off your boot before strapping in.
It is on the large side (which I like since it provides more grip that way), but since it's clear I don't feel that it messes up my graphics at all.

OC Eight Mattifying Gel
OC Eight Mattifying Gel Reviews
i would give it a 10 if it lasted a perfect 8 hoursi am very impressed with how the gel instantly mattfies my skin after i apply it--which is when i get out of a steaming hot shower. i had my mom inspect my face every hour of the day and she told me she noticed a big improvement as far as less oiliness. usually i have to go through a few blotting papers throughout the day, but with the oc eight gel i didn't have to. i would say it made my skin ...read morelook at least 50% less oily and i have horribly greasy skin. i never had to reapply my makeup though, just one paper throughout the day :) this stuff is a miracle if you have super oily skin. i would have liked it to last all 8 hours but i think it worked for 6 hours at the most. it's better than nothing :) and the tube will last a long time. — 8 years, 9 months agoareesecup | 133 reviews

Great over sunscreenI hate putting sunscreen on because it leaves my skin so shiny, but I know it's a must. Using OC Eight after the sunscreen as dried really helps to control that shiny look and makes a great primer for my make up application. A little goes a long way, I only need to use a small amount to cover my t-zone, so the tube lasts me a long time, making it a great value. — 7 years, 7 months agosew_cute | 8 reviews

Great Stuffmy dermatologist recommended OC Eight to me due to my oily acne prone skin.. i find through out the day i am continuously reapplying my Jane Iredale mineral face powder.... this stuff is great... now that i can buy it online its even better and easier to purchase.. I recommend any woman with oily acne prone skin like me to try it... even if it works for a couple of hours, its definitely worth it... — 8 years, 10 months agoMichelob | 6 reviews

Montana Stream Access Law in front of Supreme Court ... AGAIN

Re: Montana Stream Access Law in front of Supreme Court ... AGAIN
THANK YOU for posting this; this is why I'm on fishing forums! There is a great deal of education that can happen in this manner, and as fisherman, we need more knowledge than just when does one throw the size 16 para adams? (which is one of my all time favorite
So here's my question since I'm not completely up on this issue. Besides the cross claims asserting a Constitutional violation with the stream access and ability per Montana Code to access streams off of a bridge or public right-of-way (which is the attack on MT stream access), isn't this issue simply about determining the definition of the easement that this bridge is on? I'm looking at MCA 23-2-312(2) which makes us look at the easement itself. My initial thought is that this is more seeking to clarify the easement's language in construction.
So is Kennedy just arguing that the easement's language is stating that it extends less than the usual width, thus bringing it under the statute for access?
It's not that I'm pro-Kennedy, just aware that MT has some awesome access that gets eroded when Big Ranch owners get ticked off. Bad facts make bad law, and I'm trying to figure out if this is an attack on our access or just Kennedy using the language of the statute. I know his other claims are the attack for sure, but in my simple head, stating that the language in the easement is just further solidifying Montana's law. As always, the local ranchers have bigger problems than dealing with someone dropping off a bridge to fish and its the "invaders from afar" who try to create their own fiefdoms out here in MT.
for the most part, I try to be the one approaching the landowner before any issue arises. Most of the time, they are good-ol MT ranchers and farmers who are excited to see someone ask instead of tromp through their land. That being said, I've happily wandered the Ruby in full view of those who wish me the upmost of "ill-harm."

We have 2 guns(A gsg 1911-22 and a Remington 597 with about 3000rds of ammo. I have a bunch of medical supplies(Gauze, aspirin, gloves, peroxide, band aids, etc) 8-9 flashlights, and around 20 spare batteries for each type of battery. I have a fully stocked bug out bag, 1 set of some inexpensive 10 mile walkie talkies and a garden going in the backyard.
Is there anything important I should get besides more food and water? I dont have an emergency radio yet, should I get one?

Beast. Learn to make fire, by other means not with lighters or matches &improvised camp stoves . Check out YOU TUBE , there are alot of good vids & ALOT of bad vids. Look at Dave Canterbury on YOU TUBE he is a very good instructor & practice what you learn. Also search you tube for bushcraft camp stoves, here are a few of my home mades, 1 wood & 2 alcohol stoves.

Nah, I say go ahead and buy a bunch of matches, or better yet, lighters. They're inexpensive enough. But yeah, learn to make fire under all conditions. Have you tested those "inexpensive" 10-mile radios? That's 10 miles under IDEAL conditions. Find out their true range. If space allows, how about planting some fruit and nut trees/vines/bushes? That's what I'm trying to do. How about a/some bigger guns?
Yeah I need to stock up on matches and lighters. I am pretty good with a fire steel right now but I should practice more. I want and am saving for a mosin nagant and a mossberg 590 or 590a1
A one way ticket to Jupiter......! Eeeeeeek..! :D
The most important thing is not an actual thing, it is knowledge. Don't worry near as much about actual things so much as doing things. Go camping with some friends or family. That's a really good way to find out what things you need. Catch a few fish out of the near by lakes and cook them over a camp fire. What things would make that experience more comfortable? Add those things and go camping again. :)
If you don't already have it get some inexpensive fishing gear.
I find it pretty interesting that a 15 year old is willing and able to take on the responsibility to take care of his family. This is a kid to be proud of.
