Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
The argument is weak. He hasn't "led" a team past the first-round? When was he expected to lead? Never. And here's a little news bulletin for you: The Kings went 7 games into the 2nd round last year. Brad played in every game of it.
But you wouldn't even know that, yet you continue to pretend you're some expert. Donnie keeps Brad, and you'd be throwing out your "look at me, I'm smarter than you" routine with those that wanted him out. Your opinion is just regurgitation of what your sources tell you.
In fact, let's take a closer look at what you obviously know about, but for the others who are watching, I'll inform them.
Second Round vs Minnesota.
Game 1, Brad has 13 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks. Wow, what an injured money pit that guy is.
Game 2, 11 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Trade him now, Donnie!
Game 3, 8 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block. My God, he's lowered himself tonight to "still better than Foster". What a wasted investment this is.
Game 4, 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. I hate this guy.
Game 5, 0 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal. There it is!! This is the evidence that negates everything because he didn't score! Sure, the rest of his stats are still solid as all hell for a center, but don't tell anyone OK?! Just let him go quietly into the night.
Game 6, 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. I'd have a case if he was healthy after the all-st-- oops.
Game 7, 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. Horrible. HORRIBLE.
I'll tell you what. I'll throw you a bone here. This season, he wasn't so nice in the playoffs.
At first.
Not playing for 6 weeks does that to people. And yes, it's his freak injury as to why he was out. But here's the part no one in your camp wants to talk about. He got better.
Hell, upon further review, even his first game in the series (Game 1), he wasn't awful in the time he played. 8 minutes (read: not a lot of time) he still managed 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. 8 minutes. Jeff would have about 2 and 5 and 0 in about that amount of time if he was having a good night.
Game 2? Blah numbers. 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist in 17 minutes.
Game 3? 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 block. Not good enough, but showing signs of what was to follow:
Game 4: 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks. Now it's starting to look like Brad.
Game 5: 14 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists. Back to being that money-pit, never plays past Feb. player.
Clearly getting back up to speed before his team lost. Not surprising; a 7 seed losing to a 2. If you expected Brad to be their best player and "lead them" on further, blame whatever idiot thought Brad should be the best player on the team, no him. Brad should be the 3rd best player. As he was and would still be here behind Jermaine and Artest.
This "argument" pisses me off. And when I see people making these idiodic comments based on un-informed, half-truth, throw-away statements, they will hear from me.exposed
adj 1: with no protection or shield; "the exposed northeast frontier"; "open to the weather"; "an open wound" [syn: open] 2: not covered with clothing; "her exposed breast" [syn: uncovered]
You have your cheap one-liners, and your spoon-fed opinion. I have facts, and something resembling real basketball knowledge. So the next time you or anyone else wants to speak up about this, show some basic respect to me, Peck, or anyone else beyond a crappy, smartass attitude, and bring real facts to the table, other than "I just know because that's what I was told by can't-tell-you" and garbage slogan-esque answers.
(Let it be stated for the record that I am a big Jeff Foster fan, but he leaves himself open to this comparison being what he is: A great bench C/F and nothing more)
Facts are facts and Brad has been hobbled by injuries after the all-star break these past two seasons since he left the team. That's irrefutable. Moreover, your comparison to Bender is silly and misguided. By your logic, since Bender, Donnie should continue to award injury-prone players lucrative contracts. As if he should just ignore his mistakes to please you and other emotionally-charged fans. And yes, as far as I'm concerned, Bender was a mistake, so don't paint me as someone who blindly buys into a party line.
Spoon-fed opinions? I'm gonna let that one go because it's too easy and I don't care to respond to your insults with insults. Let's just say I am one of the most original thinkers you could ever hope to know.
Your stats do present a side of the argument that cannot be denied.
As time has passed, the one side of the argument becomes more and more about the statistics that Brad has achieved since he left the team. And again those stats cannot be denied.
But turning back the clock to before the trade, and without the benefit of hindsight, we must recall that the Pacers experienced a money issue. Brad's performance during the season, with or without injury, earned him more dollars in a new contract than Walsh was expecting to pay.
Walsh weighed the salary that he was going to have to pay against what Brad had delivered and judged that the bang wasn't worth the buck.
Clearly, Walsh was wrong. But the most important point that Walsh was wrong on was his miscalculation of just how important a center's mid-range shot is to the overall success of our offense. Even before Artest's suspension we were struggling due to the fact that we didn't have a player to play alongside of Jermaine that could hit the mid-range jumper. And I agree with others who have said that it probably cost us a championship.

We had Brad on our team when we also had Zeke coaching it, if Brad was here with Rick we would have beat the Pistons last year in the ECF.
Well at least were not talking about Ron Artest....
Ok, since I need something to do I want to add this little comment & a request for anybody who has the time or knowledg how to do this.
First the statement.
Brad Miller's injury status was never even brought up by anyone, even the great Bulletproof, until he appeared in his second all-star game. Before that it was all about Brad not being worth the money because he really wasn't that good of a center, he just happened to be a decent center in an incredably weak E.C.
That discussion all ended the min. Brad was selected to the All-star team in the W.C.
I vividly remember making a post to B.P. back then, & I'm sure Bball remembers this because he jumped on it at the time, about you guys always moving the field goal on us when it came to Brad.
Pssssttttt..... Here's a seceret that you guys might want to hear as well. One of the original reasons that were being handed out around here by those who supported the trade was that we did it so Al Harrington could blossom.
Once that didn't work out that became a dead issue to them as well.
****Additional statement****
This is to Harmonica, yes I am always going to bring up Brad Miller. I gave it a rest for the end of the season because Dale was home, but as I said after the last game I have returned to the true path of darkness. I feel, have felt & will always feel that trading away Brad Miller was a collosal mistake. I said it then & I'll say it now.
****End of additional statement****
Alabama Redneck & others who don't like to compare, you will want to skip this next statement.
Jamaal Tinsely, Jermaine O'Neal & Jon Bender are all injury prone as well. Not a one of them has played a complete season since Brad has been traded & yet Donnie gave each of them contract extensions.
If you would just say that Brad wasn't worth the money because of his play instead of trying to find some other form of justification we could probably let this go. But then the facts wouldn't bare that out would they? Because on the court he is worth the money he got.
Ok, comparison over.
Here we are three years later & we are looking for a new starting center. Even Fosters biggest fans on here last year were saying they thought that Harrison would be starting by sometime this season, but that was before had injury problems as well.
But the fact that we are looking for a new center pretty much tells me that this trade was a flop.
Some of us, well ok at least one of us, beleive that a frontcourt of Brad & J.O. would have been able to take the Wallaces.
Now the request. Whoever knows how can you please go back & pull up the post I made about moving the field goal. If I'm not mistaken there is something else very very important in that thread.
What's the farthest we ever got with Isiah Thomas?Originally Posted by Harmonica
I once got from my car to my house without my pants.
Instead of getting a center who can hit a 15-footer, why don't we get one that can score in the post?
Instead of JO kicking out to the center, the center kicks out to JO, who can hit the open 15-footer.

Maybe we should've 'promoted' our trainer a few years ago and seen how our injuries and conditioning worked out after that 'promotion'?
On of the points to the Brad Miller argument that I still don't get, and Beast23 brought it up, was that Brad ended up with a higher market value than Donnie expected him to be at. That may be true, but exactly how much had Donnie penciled in to offer Brad because A: I'm not sure where the money was coming from (once the other moves (Bender and other extensions offered) and then the Reggie and JO deals finalized)... and B: Did he have him penciled in at a pay cut?
I'm just unconvinced he had him penciled in at all and I wonder if his comment about 'signing all his free agents and letting the reporters figure out how' was actually along the lines of how it played out all along. IOW, a sign and trade salary dump with BMiller on his way out.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

This proves the theory that you never know where threads are going. I figured this could not have been all about Doleac.
Do I wish we had Brad Miller instead of Croshere. Yes. Do I wish we had Brad Miller instead of Bender. Yes.
Do I think the Pacers would have beaten the Pistons in 2004 with Brad Miller. No way. The Pistons don't double team J.O anyways. brad would have helped the offense, but I don't like his defense, I'm sorry
There is a reason the Kings have the worst interior defense in the NBA.
I just don't miss Brad all that much.
Edit: One thing I'll never forget was J.O's reaction. I always thought those two got along great, and that they were a great combo offensively. J.O was interviewed during the Pacers summer league game a day or two after brad was traded. First I was surprised J.O agreed to be interviewed, I figured he was really pissed, Second I was afraid he was going to say something he might regret later. But he was in a good mood and seemed not to care that brad was gone
And in the two years since ,J.O has not said one word about missing Brad nor have we heard from "sources" that J.O is upset that Brad is gone
That ought to be worth something
I've never understood why this point is generally ignored.Originally Posted by Unclebuck
I've never understood why it's always argued that we could've afforded Miller's salary now if, if, if ... to me, it was always more of a concern of affording the last couple years of the deal -- $11+ million. Anyone think that at the rate he's going, Brad's body might not hold up that long?
I've never understood all the emotional attachment to Brad Miller. Around Purdue, anyone that's ever interacted with the guy calls him a dick.
A few days ago I heard Larry Brown talk about the virtue in having quick, mobile and athletic big men. He really made a strong case. Saying that with the new rules and the way the game has changed over the past 5 years, you need athletic big guys. In fact if you've ever watched the Pistons play, I think it is rather obvious. Unless you have Shaq (who is pretty quick and athletic himself) you need quickness at the big positions.
Brad just does not fit the bill
Whenever you talk about this you only use one side of the argument.Originally Posted by Unclebuck
You have to have a combo of strength & speed to play the center spot. Whenever you mention this & then talk about the Pistons you always talk about what great speed they have but then never state that both Wallace's are extremly strong as well. Not to mention that Ben Wallace has very explosive leaping ability.
Speed without strength equals Mikki Moore. Is that your ideal of a center?
You know, we could make this argument for SO many players, that I don't even know why it is discussed.
I think Indiana has a real problem getting people to stay in games. Like you said, Jamaal and Jermaine have real troubles staying healthy, though for their credit, they do try to play through them. I don't even want to talk about Bender.
I didn't think Brad had a problem like that until he started missing time at the end of the year every year. And I honestly don't know if he would have helped against Detroit. Yes he would have opened up, but I think Rasheed/Ben would have scored so easily due to their pure athleticism advantage. So who knows?
Maybe we should just hold out our team and play them starting in January, so they can be healthy for the playoffs.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
i got somewhat ridiculed the other day for hijacking a thread....can someone tell me where the doleac and anthony johnson trade is being discussed? id like to offer my opinion....
Michael Doleac and Brad Miller are white. And tall. And play, well, no, they are both paid by NBA teams. That is the length and breadth of their similarities.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!

That was a year ago. Since then, multiple manufacturers have begun marketing dissolvable packets, or pods, of liquid laundry soap. They are colorful and shiny, some looking almost like candy to an inquisitive toddler. They're convenient, though more expensive, because nothing has to be measured. Just pop one in the washer.
But the trade-off for convenience is danger to kids.
According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31 of this year, 4,595 children age 5 and under ingested, tried to ingest or were exposed in some other way to the eye-catching laundry detergent pods. These were exposures that led to a call or a report to a poison control center.
Since March, the Indiana Poison Control Center, based at IU Health's Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis and one of 57 such centers in the nation, has received 107 calls related to laundry detergent pod poisoning or exposure, says Dr. James Mowry, director of the center.
"There haven't been any deaths, but we've seen several cases where children have gotten very drowsy, and a couple of children had to have a breathing tube put in," Mowry says.
The membrane surrounding the concentrated soap dissolves as soon as it becomes wet.
"When it goes into the mouth, it dissolves almost immediately," Mowry says, and the child gets a highly concentrated dose of the soap rapidly into the body.
Nausea and vomiting are common side effects, along with a change in mental status, drowsiness, breathing difficulties and choking. The liquid is also an eye irritant. Symptoms seem to vary from child to child, and no one is quite sure at this point what specific chemical in the pods is causing certain symptoms or if it is the combination of certain chemicals.
Manufacturers are not required to list all ingredients if some are considered minute quantities or are thought to be inert, meaning they do not react with other substances.
"Whether the effects are due to the concentration or to something like that is unclear," Mowry says.
It is likely the incidence of laundry pod poisoning or exposure is even higher than the nearly 4,600 calls fielded nationally so far this year. Hospitals and clinics are not mandated to report accidental poisoning incidents to poison control centers.
In a report issued by the Centers for Disease Control in October, researchers looked at incidents involving laundry detergent poisoning exposure for a 30-day period between mid-May and mid-June of this year. Poison control centers received 1,008 calls, with 485 of them involving detergent pods.
Of those, 94 percent involved children age 5 and under. The children who were exposed to the pod form of laundry detergent had significantly more gastrointestinal and respiratory problems as well as mental status changes compared to youngsters exposed to the non-pod laundry products.
The CDC report points out that injury surveillance data from 1990 to 2006 show emergency department visits related to exposures to household cleaners dropped by 46 percent in that period.
That is good news that parents, babysitters — and grandparents — are being more vigilant about keeping such products out of the reach of children. Improved packaging of products is also making them more child-resistant.
Because of growing concerns related to laundry pod poisoning, Proctor and Gamble, maker of Tide Pods, has now put a double lock mechanism on the pod container.
But Mowry says these products "need to be stored in locked cabinets. Any child-resistant product is just that — resistant."
A busy, inquisitive and determined child can too often find a way around the so-called resistance.

Photo Gallery: Muriel Brandolini Designs
Eclectic style from a global designer.
A glamorous space filled with daring juxtapositions of colour.
Muriel Brandolini's 1993 New York sublet was the home that ignited her love of interior design. Surrounded by faux-marble walls that she could not repaint, Muriel got creative and covered the space with rich textiles she had collected from the garment district. Inspired by her travels, Muriel decorated the space with objets d'art that she collected from around the globe.
See more Muriel Brandolini Designs in our photo gallery.
A pretty yellow chair is upholstered in hand-printed fabric.
Designer Muriel Brandolini was excited to decorate her 1996 home — a lovely three-storey New York town house. The soothing palette of soft yellow and mint green draws attention to the spectacular architectural details and high ceilings. A wood lantern from Vietnam hangs over a nineteenth-century wood pedestal table from Holland. Muriel framed the doorways connecting to the first-floor landing with silk-brocade curtains.

A gallery wall adds interest in this neutral space.
Designer Muriel Brandolini's 2010 home features quieter tones of silver, pearl grey and gold. In her living room, she covered the walls in a shimmery grey fabric, adding depth and warmth to the space. Made from a single block of rock crystal, the Bing One side table by Martin Szekely is a sparkling showstopper.

Obviously there are currently multiple features missing since we updated (most notably the Thanks button).
I will do my best to bring them all back, and I will try to even get some of them this evening if possible.
Moods have been re-added. Favorites sports teams have been re-added.
Ha I thought moderators went missing. Oh the chaos that would ensue.
Thanks feature restored.
They put the button in a weird spot, though; it's now all the way over to the left.
Is it possible to get the "find all thanked posts" back? Thanks
Where was that in the last version? I don't recall.
Where are the moods? They don't come up for me, but they did prior to the move. I find them entertaining.
When you are in your profile, it was right with the total thanks and the thanked posts. It let you search the posts you have thanked and the posts that you have been thanked for.
Are the favorite teams supposed to show up as little icons again, or are they just in our profile?
They're here; I just temporarily removed them again because I had to re-construct the template from scratch last night to fix the logo (damn thing wouldn't center).
I'll go fix that now.
It's not a missing feature, but a new one: Threads now auto-update every 7 seconds with any new replies so you don't have to click refresh.
I noticed the thanks/thanked stat is displayed underneath the avatar and side info, but it wasn't on the old server.
It was for a while, then it was hidden.
Thanks for the work again, Hicks. Love the refresh!
I like that the thanks stats are back. Not wild about the new layout yet. It takes time for me to adjust. I had just mastered the old layout
iSpy has not been re-added because it doesn't exist for version4 of the software, but I found a similar mod that DOES support v4, and I've installed it. It's at the top under the Community link, and it's just called 'Spy'. It will be blank until a new post is made while you leave it open, then they start to appear like they did for iSpy.
I've found a mod that separates the sticky threads from the rest and installed it.
I've found a different mod that's supposed to allow for live updates, but I don't know if it's working yet. I doubt it, but I guess we'll find out.
Also, I figured out how to move the Thanks button back over to the right; that was bugging me having it far left like that.
As for searching by thanked posts, it's SUPPOSED TO be working, but clearly is not. I've contacted the mod-creator about it and I have to wait to hear from him/her.
Is there anyway we can put spaces between the names of people who thank our posts (if there are multiple people thanking the post)?
You can now search for thanked posts again by going to a user's profile.
I'm having trouble keeping those on my ignore list actually ignored. Anyone else?
It's not that they're coming off my ignore list (when I click on a screen name / view the profile it still lists "remove from ignore list"). If I open a thread within 30-60 minutes of an ignored-lister posting their "contribution" still shows up (it could be a lot more, but so far I've waited 38 minutes and the post is still visible). Eventually (60 minutes later? 90?) it will have vanished but it's clearly more of a timed-release ignore at this point.
This is the darkest timeline.
The grammar nazi in me is bothered greatly by the new quote box.
This is minor minor minor minor minor
When I am not logged in, I am not able to view the "post new button" thread. So I have to log in before that button is even visible.
Is Arcade officially dead now? It wasn't linked before, had to use direct link to get there. Get a mysql error now if I go there

Does she remember you? Have y'all become buddies? Hey I know....run for Prez of the homeowners assoc.
Or get a tripod out in the yard so a few of us can have somewhere to hang our deer for dressing. (Let em hang and tendorize for 4-5 days if the weather's right).
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
I'm having a little trouble feeling bad for the people that stayed behind and now are whinning for food and gas.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
How many washed up football players does it take to cover a week of football.
Better yet just hang one out there for 2 years. Year round.
That was a pretty good football game last night.
Although I stayed up way too late watching it.
I've only seen her once since I moved so she could take the key thing off the door knob. Not even sure if they are still around. I'd run for HOA pres . . . . if we had a HOA.
Now you've got a good idea on the deer hangings. Maybe we could move it to the lot across the street from her.
Yeah that was fun. I didn't even realize it was midnight by the time it was over. That 1st half was madness.
It was like striking out at the plate watching pitches... they couldn't launch a few down field.
Wouldn't you rather go for it than take sacks and dump off passes with no chance.
Kornholer looks like the chemo isn't going well doesn't he. WTF man, shave the head already.
Yeah HD doesn't work well with Kornholer.
It's odd that I actually like him on PTI, but then he does commentary on MNF and I can't stand him.
Back in the day when your car battery was going bad it seems like you had some warning.
Maybe it would grind away and then finally start or something.
My experience with batteries now is they work flawlessly with zero warning right up until they suddenly fail.
It happened to me in bumf#^% Patoka one time with a truck and it happened to me today with my car.
Both were in summertime.
Thank God they didn't look in the trunk.
I'm wondering if Notre Dame has any chance at Michigan State.
Probably not.
Any other good games Saturday.
LSU at Auburn
Florida at Tennessee maybe
Ball State at Indiana?
Looks like a pretty lame slate of games....
Best game on paper is easily LSU at Auburn on ESPN at 7:45.
The only other game between ranked team is Wake Forest at Florida St. at 7:00.
And, of course, the monster matchup of unbeatens, Ball St. at IU on the Big 10 Net at 7:00.
I'll be flipping between that and LSU-Auburn.
Wow that was weird.
Florida-Tennessee is always fun, although I'll be singing Rocky Top all day...
Weird how 2 of your personalities get out of hand at the same time...
That was weird.
Seriously, did you just see only 2?
Me too.
I was just checking.
I found a good target range in Spencer. That is what I'm going to do Saturday morning.
Now I just want the temperature to keep dropping.
Well obviously I've got at least a dozen personalities. They usually just don't come out at the same time.
Archery or firearm?
Sounds like a good use of a Saturday.
Pack mentality and all.
Archery. The bow is dusted off, found some new graphite arrows I forgot I had purchased. Now I can get to the range and buy some broadheads and maybe a new sight.
No new bow this year. That's ok, this one has treated me well and it'd be hard to let go.
I'm surprised Geezer hasn't whittled you some walnut arrows.
He's big on natural killin I hear.

What a Woman's Heart Attack Looks Like
It's not that women don't get chest pain during a heart attack. We can, although often women describe the sensation more as achiness, tightness, or pressure than as pain. But we're also more likely to experience other symptoms. While chest pain was the most common symptom for both men and women, according to a Swedish study of 225 first-time heart attack patients, women were more apt to report nausea, back pain, dizziness, and palpitations. Women were three times as likely as men to experience more than three heart attack symptoms at once. "Even doctors sometimes mistake women's symptoms for indigestion, heartburn, or the flu," says Dr. Oz.
Two Big Diet Fixes—Make 'Em Today!
Eat Less Sugar
Sugar hurts us in two ways, says Dr. Oz. First, the sugar molecule itself is like a jagged piece of glass that scrapes up the arteries as it travels through your bloodstream. That scarring catches plaque, allowing it to build up and narrow the arteries. Second, because sugar is stored as fat, it leads to weight gain, particularly around the belly. Most Americans take in about 22 teaspoons of sugar every day. Much of that comes from sodas and fruit drinks. Other sweeteners, like high fructose corn syrup, lurk in unlikely places, such as ketchup, mustard, and salad dressing. The American Heart Association now recommends that women limit added sugar consumption to 100 calories (about 6 teaspoons) a day, with no more than 450 calories a week coming from sugary drinks. That's less than half a 12-ounce can of regular soda a day. Dr. Oz's rule: "If high fructose corn syrup is one of the first five ingredients in a product or there's more than 4 grams of sugar per serving (that's 1 teaspoon), skip it."
Eat More Fatty Fish
As sources of protein go, it doesn't get much better than fish, which is low in artery-clogging saturated fat and high in omega-3 essential fats, which improve triglycerides, reduce artery plaque, and prevent irregular heartbeats that can cause sudden death. Women in the Nurses' Health Study who ate fish at least twice a week lowered their risk of dying from heart disease by 31%. Grill or bake (don't fry) salmon, shrimp, rainbow trout, pollock (the fish used to make imitation crab), or sardines. Dr. Oz also recommends taking 600 milligrams a day of the omega-3 essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
5 Tests That Can Save Your Life
How Often
Target Range
Why It Matters
Blood Pressure
Your doctor will take your blood pressure during your annual visit, but once a month check it yourself at a blood pressure station at the mall, supermarket, or drugstore.
Below 120/80 mmHg (below 115/75 mmHg if you're over 40). Above 120/80 mmHg is considered pre-hypertension; above 140/90 mmHg is full-blown hypertension.
Hypertension more than triples your risk for heart disease and stroke. High blood pressure not only makes your heart work harder to pump blood throughout your body, it also hardens arteries prematurely and causes micro-tears in artery walls that can trap plaque and cause blockages.
Every five years your doctor should check the cholesterol/triglyceride levels in your blood, more often if you already have high cholesterol or are using medication to lower it. Ask your doctor about a home test kit like CardioChek ($105 plus test strips, available at drugstores and online).
Aim for LDL cholesterol below 100 mg/dl; HDL cholesterol above 50 mg/dl; triglycerides below 150 mg/dl.
Having high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, along with low HDL cholesterol, leads to artery plaque. About 50% of heart attacks and 20% of strokes are linked to elevated cholesterol levels.
Fasting Blood Glucose
If you have no risk factors, get this test every three years, starting at 45. But if you're overweight and have at least one other risk factor for diabetes (family history; hypertension; elevated triglycerides, and low HDL levels; or you developed gestational diabetes or had a baby weighing more than nine pounds) ask your doctor about doing this test now.
Below 100 mg/dl is normal; 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl is considered pre-diabetes; over 126 mg/dl is considered diabetes.
Excess sugar in your blood damages blood vessels and leads to diabetes, which doubles women's risk for a first heart attack.
Ankle-Brachial Index
At least once a year ask your doctor to do this noninvasive test that compares the blood pressure in your feet with the one in your arms to make sure you're getting good blood flow throughout your body.
Blood pressure in your foot should be at least 90% of what it is in your arm.
If the blood pressure in your foot is much lower than in your arm, it's an indication that plaque is collecting in the arteries in your legs, a condition known as peripheral artery disease. And if there's plaque down there, it's a good bet it's in your coronary arteries as well.
Waist Circumference
At least once a month wrap a tape measure around your middle at your belly button.
Take your height in inches, then divide by 2 to get your ideal waist measurement. If you're 5'4" (64 inches), your waist should be no bigger than 32 inches around.
Belly fat produces hormones that cause inflammation, damage organs, and promote insulin resistance. New studies show that when a woman of normal weight has a waist larger than 34.6 inches, her chance of stroke quadruples. And a wide middle coupled with elevated triglycerides nearly quadruples a woman's heart disease risk.

so this is kind of embarrassing, but i can't go for a run longer than 3 miles without having to make a bowel movement at some point in my run. sometimes it's only a mile in, sometimes it's 5 miles in, but i always have to go. and it doesn't matter if i go before my run either. i don't really mind when i'm just running for recreation, but i want to fix this problem so that i run races this summer and beyond. help!
bathroom emergencies
i make sure there's at least an hour or two (if not more) between when i eat and when i run. i never eat during my runs. i usually have a green smoothie or oatmeal for breakfast, then i run 1-2 hours after. or even if i run just after waking up on an empty stomach, i still have to go. it sucks
I was the same way. The only way I could go for a run outside was to hop on the treadmill and make sure everything came out before I headed out the door. I also knew other people who would run their first mile close to home. I then came down with really bad stomach virus and literally could not keep anything down for a week. I had been wanting to give up diet coke, so this was an easy way to do it. And guess what, no more poop issues once I started up running again. A lot of people have problems with artificial sweetners, which seems to be the case for me. I also find a cup of coffee in the morning also helps to get everything moving too.
For me it was artificial sweetners, may be the same for you, but maybe something else. You may need to look beyond what you are eating in the morning but to the day before, etc.
Good luck.
Huh. I'm fortunate not to have that problem. The artificial sweeteners angle is interesting. I eat/drink basically none of that ...
I hope you can figure it out! I'm sure it's very frustrating ... Peace ...
i don't eat artificial sweeteners (unless gum counts). i eat a very clean vegan diet....
Any sweetners with "ol" at the end could do it, which includes most sugar free gum. As a vegan, you are probably use to reading labels, so hopefully you can figure out what it is.
well i'll definitely be cutting out the sugarfree gum. hopefully that helps; thanks for the advice!
a few elite women runner pop a lomotil tab before a race, to solve that problem.
Not recommending it, but it seems to work for some people.
I would think there are other ways...
I've had it happen, though not consistently. I find it helps to consume bland, low fiber foods (rice, applesauce, sparing cooked veggies) starting the afternoon before a race. No dairy, whole grains, meats, raw veggies, fruits, artificial sweeteners, or carbonated beverages. Sparing refined sugars if I get the craving. One cup of coffee a couple of hours before the race. I don't eat this way all the time, so in training I just plan my runs where there are bathroom stops. I've tried anti-diarrhea medicine. It works but screws up my system for a few days afterward. I wouldn't want to do it too often.
I call it runner's liquefaction (look up earthquake liquefaction). Sounds like all the fluids and greens (hello magnesium!) along with the jarring or shaking of the run are doing double duty (heh heh) in your gut, no matter the time. If you could only have a purer form of protein (no grains or greens) for your evening and morning meal then come back and pack in the green goodies after your run.
Just a thought... I've always been interested in geology, running, and poop issues....
so this morning i had oatmeal with flax first thing, and luckily that cleared me out enough to not have to go during my run! success! only thing is, i won't want to have oatmeal for breakfast as the temps rise...does anyone think that overnight oats (soaking oats in almond milk overnight) will have the same effect has cooked oatmeal?
We'll eat oatmeal year round.
Have you tried steel cut oats? There are numerous recipes around for cooking steel cut oats in a crock pot overnight, or starting them on the stovetop in the evening, covering and letting them soak overnight then warming them up in the am. Nuttier flavor than rolled or quick oats and like regular oatmeal you can add to it whatever works for you.
The solution I found for myself wasn't so much WHAT I eat, but how much and when. I found that having a large breakfast and then eating small/moderate meals and snacks every 2-3 hours pretty much cured my 'bathroom problems'. At the very least, do the eating every 2-3 hrs part.
I'll also add that diary probably isn't the best, but you can still have it (if you're not lac. intolerant of course). I usually just save it for after the run.
do you have your large breakfast before or after your run? i can definitely try eating small meals often, and as a vegan i already don't eat dairy.
Well normally, I have to run in the evenings. Before I started this, it was evening runs when I would have the most problems. Morning runs were never as bad probably since I didn't have all the food of the day in my system yet. But it seems that eating this way is more in tune with our body's natural cycle (circadian cycle/rhythm). It really helped regulate my digestion and made 'doing business' more predictable and controllable. So essentially it doesn't matter when I run. Hope that helps.
Since you're vegan, I would take a good look at how much fiber you're eating and look to lessen fiber and increase protein.

All tech companies love to hype their shiny new gadgets. Nothing is ever a slightly better version of the last model, everything is a 'breakthrough', changes are always 'dramatic', performance is always 'ground-breaking'.
Apple is of course the acknowledged master of the marketing arts, so if I'm honest I mentally toned-down all the claims in the keynote about it being "dramatically thinner and lighter," and I responded to Phil Schiller's claim that "once you hold one in your hand you will understand what a tremendous advancement this is" with a wry smile.
But having owned and used one extensively for a week now, I actually think Apple's hype didn't go far enough. This is not just a bit thinner and lighter, it's virtually a third category of iPad … expand full story

PASADENA, Texas - Police hope surveillance video will help them identify two men seen stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of valuables from Crenshaw Storage in Pasadena.
According to Houston police, it happened Dec. 1 around 7 a.m. The footage appears to show the getaway. A man can be seen cutting the chain that holds the automatic exit gate closed.
With the gate manually opened, a black four-door pickup truck, possibly a Nissan Titan, is seen driving away with the bed full of stolen valuables.
Video shows a 14 foot enclosed trailer carrying two all-terrain vehicles in tow. The owner estimates the cost of the trailer and ATV at about $20,000.
"They actually came in by tailgating another tenant through the gate," said storage manager Mike Brashear. "They just backed up to (the trailer), hooked up to it and drove it off. They also took compressors, a table saw, a generator and some tools."
Brashear said that it took the burglars only about 40 minutes to cut the locks on six storage sheds and make off with the stolen goods.
Nine days would pass before the first tenant noticed he'd been robbed.
"All I saw was my lock hanging on the opposite side," said Reyes Rodriguez. "I can tell it was broken into."
According to Rodriguez, the burglars took an $800 motor from his storage shed.
"That motor was supposed to be for an air compressor that I got," said Rodriguez. "It's real sad to see people steal things, especially when you work for it."
The owner of Crenshaw Storage is offering a $1,000 dollar reward for anyone who can help track down the burglars.
Anyone with information can contact Houston Police's Burglary and Theft Division at (713) 308-0900.

"Amish romance in an unexpected setting"
Much of the focus of this book is on the impact of two girls' friendships. So in a way this is almost a women's or girl's fiction book but with a romance. The Memory Jar is an interesting device to employ in the story. The book had a simple quality to it that some might find appealing. A good listen and my first book by Tricia Goyer. She is a very popular author.
"amish fiction"
I really enjoyed the reflections the characters pondered and lessons learned.
I really enjoyed the ending.
It was a worthwhile read and the reader did a great job!
"i want to start my own memory jar now"
i enjoyed this story it was a good listen the story was endearing and it showed dealing with greif and relationship and living live to the next level memories are good but we all need to move on the preformance was good and not dragging to sleep kept me awake the reason i get audio books
"Very good book new author for me."
This was a very good book, however, I wish it was longer..glad to find out it was number one in a series.
"Loved this audiobook!"
Loved this book. It was a great story. Tricia Goyer is a great writer and Pam award is a great narrator.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Duval County School Superintendent Nikolai Vitti is recommending an Atlantic Beach second-grade teacher be suspended for five days for assigning a Jim Crow coloring book as a Black History Month assignment.
After an investigation into complaints from parents who saw the coloring book that includes a lynching, Vitti decided it was not age appropriate or culturally appropriate.
The Duval County School District also contacted the book's publisher, Edhelper, and asked them to remove the material from being available to educators. Edhelper has not responded.
In addition to the suspension of Flores, Atlantic Beach Elementary Principal Kimberly Wright will have a letter of reprimand placed in her file.
SEE FOR YOURSELF: "Who Was Jim Crow?" book from edHelper.com
One of the parents who filed a complaint, James Hill, said his 7-year-old son's assignment was to color in the pictures and read the text in the coloring book entitled "Who Was Jim Crow?"
"We were flipping through it and he was bragging about his coloring and staying between the lines, and we came across this depiction of the murder scene," Hill told Channel 4 earlier this month. "The lynching scene is inappropriate for second-graders."
Hill said he was taken aback by other pictures in the coloring book showing African-Americans with exaggerated facial features. Hill said the black history lesson also failed to highlight all the white people who helped to abolish slavery in 1863.
"I think everyone depicted in the document will be equally offended by the fact that on the Caucasian side, they were depicted as all black people weren't liked by white people, which is a generalization, which is almost astonishing," Hill said.

" [1] millenarian[2][3] new religious movement (NRM) of Indian origin whose teachings are based on practises involving both mediumship and channelling"
In 1952, after a 14 year period of retreat during which the Brahma-kumaris published numerous pamphlets, newspaper articles and wrote letters to important national and international figures, a more structured form of teaching began to be offered to the public by way of a seven lesson course.[11] The movement does not associate itself with Hinduism [45] but projects itself as a vehicle for spiritual teaching rather than a religion.[6][46]
The BKWSU teaches that this world is beyond redemption [47] and so the ultimate aim of Brahma Kumari followers is to gain a high status as a royalty in a soon to be heaven on earth, a member of an elite 108 or 160,000 who will be the rulers of a heaven on earth, and to create subjects for it. [48] A heaven on earth which is to follow a total and imminent "Destruction" of the present day world including a Nuclear holocaust and death of of the rest of humanity. This high status is achieved by supporting the movement, obeying its rules, engaging in proselytizing activities [49] and attempting to follow "almost inhumanly high standards" of "purity".
Questioned how dinosaurs fit within a 5,000 year Cycle of Time BK Neville Hodgkinson, a former scientific correspondent for an English national newspaper, questioned the existence of dinosaurs on the basis of the lack of bones that have been found whilst another BK follower argued that dinosaurs exist in a parallel space-time dimension and because of a warp hole end up in this dimension.

Q. Can sex crimes in the military that involve two males rise to the level of rape?
A. When Congress passed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act and overhauled Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, lawmakers gave the military a larger net to catch sexual offenders.
The new Article 120, which took effect in June 2012, placed sexual acts outside of what would qualify as traditional sexual intercourse within the meaning of rape and sexual assault. So now, for example, forcible sex acts involving two men can be prosecuted under the same statute that traditionally applied only to rape involving a male and a female.
The revised Article 120 did this by creating a broader definition for what constitutes a "sexual act," allowing the government to prosecute certain types of sexual misconduct as rape or sexual assault.
Both rape and sexual assault involve one person committing a "sexual act" against another person, regardless of gender. The 2012 law criminalizes this type of act no matter how it is accomplished (e.g. "by any part of the body or by any object"), as long as it is coupled with the intent to "abuse, humiliate, harass, or degrade any person or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person," according to the Manual for Courts-Martial.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces highlighted the old Article 120′s limitation in U.S. v. Akeem A. Wilkins (2012), when it said, "This Court is confined to the definitions formulated by Congress."
Such definitions did not include the type of sex that typically occurs between two males or similar sexual acts. If the new Article 120 had been in effect at that time, the court may have reached a different conclusion in that case because a sexual act is no longer limited to the definition of heterosexual sex.
Traditionally, the military had prosecuted forcible sodomy under Article 125, which addresses sodomy. The 2012 revisions to Article 120 served in part to ensure all sex crimes are prosecuted under that article, including Article 125′s forcible sodomy offense.
As such, Article 125 likely will be revised out of the UCMJ in its current form.
Service members charged with rape or sexual assault should immediately contact a military law attorney.
Depending on the circumstances, an attorney can show the sexual act was consensual or that the accused's conduct amounted only to sexual contact, not a sexual act.

Move from the trees to the park to pow.
Progress your riding skills with the smooth-flexing, ultra-lightweight feel of the Rome Women's Shift Snowboard Binding. Serving up a mid-level flex, the Shift is a highly versatile binding that's ideal for up-and-coming riders looking to hit everything on the mountain without an overly stiff, unforgiving binding holding them back from linking first turns and learning new tricks.
The Shift highback features cored-out sections for enhanced lateral mobility when you're tweaking out tricks, without sacrificing heelside response desired for responsive carving. Tool-less forward lean allows riders to fine tune the level of heelside response when they're transitioning from park laps (usually ridden without forward lean) to steeper runs where forward lean is more desirable. The Unibody baseplate saves serious weight with its injected one-piece design. Additionally, substantial EVA baseplate padding softens the blow from heavy landings and choppy snow conditions.
Dialing in an ideal fit, both the ankle and toe straps feature tool-less adjustment for centering them over your boots without fumbling with screwdrivers on the slopes. The Progressive Flex ankle strap is 3D-formed to reduce pressure points with a flex that stiffens up as you move toward the center of the strap. This allows for an optimal mix of flexibility and ankle support, ensuring high levels of overall comfort. Additionally, the ConFormist toe strap comfortably hugs the tip of your boot should you desire a more traditional feel.
- Smooth-flexing, ultralight all-mountain binding for progression
- Highback has cored-out sections for more lateral mobility
- Tool-less forward lean lets you fine tune the level of response
- Baseplate has one-piece design for weight savings
- EVA baseplate padding absorbs harsh impacts
- Ankle strap is 3D-formed for reduced pressure points
- Toe strap snugly hugs the tip of your boot for a precise fit

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Careful with the size!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I needed new bindings, because my older ones were getting "stucky".
I am still getting used to these, but my initial impression is promising me an even more enjoyable season than I had so far, the bindings are higher off the ground and react a little different to me than what I am used to, but already feel like they will perform better with me as soon as my feet and them get comfortable with each other.( I will update my final impression when the time comes)
I like the no-tool adjustment system on the latches. The flip and click pressure system makes it easy.
What I don't like is that they're running small. I am wearing size 8.5 boots and therefore ordered these bindings in Small. The latches just barely fit over my boots! Next time I will order them in M.

"We're a group of filmmakers who make each other's dreams come true." – Danielle Lurie
As their site – follow the links above in the photo and the opening quote – accurately notes, "Film Fatales is a collective of female filmmakers based in New York who have written or directed at least one feature narrative or documentary film. Our members meet the first week of every month, hosted at the home of a different filmmaker each time. Gatherings consist of a meal, a topical conversation relevant to the creative process, and a sharing of the current projects of our members. Film Fatales has quickly become a grassroots community of collaboration and support, with over a dozen films in production by our members this year alone. By offering a space for mentorship, peer networking and direct participation, we hope to promote the creation of more stories by and about women."
Filmmaking is tough; collectives such as this make it easier to create new and original work.

The trials and tribulations of building Northwich Memorial Court
2:50pm Tuesday 29th April 2014
2:50pm Tuesday 29th April 2014
A BUILDING that is 'out of this world' is starting to take shape in the centre of Northwich.
The Guardian was invited to take a closer look at progress at Northwich Memorial Court, in Chesterway, on Friday.
Wates Construction and Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC) took us on a guided tour of the building site, where CWAC's £13.7million culture and leisure venue will open in spring 2015.
Shane Benson, project manager from Wates Construction, said: "When we leave here we will be leaving something worthwhile for the community.
"We come to a demolition site but when we leave there will be something here that enhances the local community and hopefully it will bring more money into the area.
"It's going to be out of this world when it's finished, there's been no money spared."
The centre, on the site of the former magistrates' court and memorial hall, is a building of two halves, with an events and entertainment area and a sports side, separated by an internal street that will become a pedestrian thoroughfare from Chesterway to the River Dane.
A stage, dressing rooms, bars and kitchen will be the main features of the entertainment side with a six-lane 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool with a moveable floor, gym and dance studio on the sports side.
There will also be function rooms and a café overlooking the river.
The project has not been without its challenges, including unsteady ground conditions at a site that needs to withstand the weight of the building itself, as well as the 500,000 litres of water in a swimming pool that will take two days to fill.
The piles for the structure have been driven 10 metres deep and ground work includes 1.6 metres of stone, 300mm of concrete and a mesh, know as a geogrid, that knits the foundations together.
Shane said: "The hard bit is the ground, that's where all the unknowns are in a project and it's the bit people don't see.
"But I don't like jobs that go too easy, it's about the challenge and how you overcome it.
"It's all about problem solving."
The centre will also fulfil green criteria with solar panels in the roof and a 'green roof' of planted sections to increase biodiversity and aid drainage.
Access to the River Dane will be improved and a plaza and memorial garden created outside the building.
Wates and CWAC, which is already receiving enquiries about booking the centre in 2015, are keen to keep the community involved in the work, with regular updates to neighbouring residents as well as school and college visits.
"We don't lock ourselves away behind the hoardings, we're accessible to locals," Shane said.
"It's locals that are paying for it so they should have access."
A stop motion camera is recording progress at the site and can be found at weavervalley.org.uk

Two hours later, they come out flatter than the ice. They sit back in their trap defense, passive, waiting to react. Instead of forcing the action, they hesitate and get pushed around, and they are usually skating backward. It seems like opponents always score first, and then the Komets scramble to try catching up.
Kalamazoo scored first Friday night and the crowd of 7,477 was already out of the game no matter how loud the music played after the whistles. The fans were dead, and so were the Komets. There was no energy in the building or on the ice.
Fort Wayne gave up four goals in the first 20 minutes and never had a chance as the Wings won 5-1. The Komets are 10-13 at home heading into tonight's game against first-place Cincinnati.
There are 27 games remaining, usually way too early to call any contest a must-win game, but tonight is one for the Komets. If they have any hope of chasing down the Cyclones, the Komets must win this game. They are already eight points behind Cincinnati and only play the Cyclones three more times.
Friday started off in a bad way for the Komets as goaltender Kenny Reiter was called up to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League early in the afternoon. Playing for the second time in nine games, Marco Cousineau gave up three goals on seven shots before he was pulled for Charlie Effinger. On his first shot against, Effinger made a spectacular paddle save, but Kalamazoo scored a minute later on the next shot.
Not all the goals were the goaltenders' fault as the defense struggled horribly. Tyler Butler and Scott Kishel suffered through their worst game of the season and were on the ice for all four first-period goals.
Kaleigh Schrock tried to get the crowd back into it by tangling with Wings' tough guy Harry Young, but Schrock was clearly out of his weight class. So were the Komets, though they won at Kalamazoo 2-1 on Wednesday night.
There was more passion displayed in the post-game team meeting than at any point during the three periods.
The passive game works well on the road where the Komets are a very strong 14-7-2. They can sit back and wait for an opponents' mistake to capitalize on, but their lack of aggressiveness and physical play is burying them at home. They look tentative, unsure of their roles, and their power play is abysmal, scoring only four times in the last 51 chances. They are reacting instead of initiating in every phase.
It's hard to remember the Komets were once 6-5 at home early in the season, but they are 4-8 since, usually losing to teams they dominate on the road.
When ``Welcome to the Jungle'' started to play with 7:00 left, instead of signaling for everyone to get fired up last night it was a signal for many it was time to head home.

This is hands-down one of the most wicked desserts I've ever put together: Cake. Booze. Custard. Meringue. Bananas foster.
This multi-layered trifle is anything but what its moniker implies it to be: it's not trivial, minor, or inconsequential. Trifles are easy enough to assemble and a great way to use up any stale cake that's in your pantry (not that cake ever gets a chance to dry up 'round these parts). Just toss it in, top with custard, fruit or jam, layer, and scoop out. Somehow all these bits and plops of stuff that on their own can provide a small treat meld together into a sublime dessert. It's a big old muddle, really, but what an exquisite, luscious mess it is.
This trifle is a compilation of recipes whose ingredients list reads like a Victorian three-volume novel. Don't worry—some of the components can be prepared in advance, then you just whip up the rest and assemble the edible puzzle.
The cake portion is brown sugar-walnut: dense, melting, studded with meaty walnuts. Once baked and cut into cubes, it's glazed with a heady, dark rum syrup. In the dish, blankets of vanilla custard and soft meringue are spread on the cake. Bananas foster— sticky and sweet with melted butter and brown sugar then set ablaze with liquor—sneak in between.
Do try it, it's much too good to pass up.

Anatomy of a Knuckleball
Editor's Note: This article was originally published before the 2012 MLB season.
Once upon a time, there were jocks and there were geeks. The two factions warred with one another for generations, until something changed. We all got started using computers, and we realized—with the statistical bean counting of sports, and the inherent machismo of glass and steel tech—that maybe we weren't so different after all.
Whether you're playing baseball, playing fantasy baseball, or just watching baseball in 2013, here's your guide to being the perfect hardball geek.
With 30 MLB teams each playing 162 games (usually), that works out to to 2430 contests in an MLB season. You can catch a few of them with a local antenna signal and more of them with a cable package that includes channels such as ESPN and local Fox Sports affiliates. But if you want to watch all of them—or, at least, to have your pick—the only way to come close is MLB Extra Innings.
Offered by carriers like Comcast and DirecTV for roughly $240 per season, the package brings 80 additional games to your eyes every week. That works out to about 1920 more games across the span of the season. It's 120 days of content, more than you could possibly watch.
MLB is also one of the easiest sports for people without satellite or cable TV to watch. MLB.tv sells the same game package with its premium service, offered at $125 per season, and the content is streamable across all sorts of devices: laptops, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, PS3s, Xbox 360s, Apple TVs, Rokus, and more. (If you already have an Extra Innings subscription, streaming to the extra devices is included for free.)
The catch: regional broadcasting rights. Regional channels hold the exclusive rights to broadcast certain teams in their home region (YES broadcasts the New York Yankees, Fox Sports Wisconsin broadcasts the Milwaukee Brewers, etc.). As a result, MLB.tv checks the physical location of your computer or device and blocks out local teams. So if you're sitting beneath the Gateway Arch on a sunny afternoon, you won't be able to stream the St. Louis Cardinals game to your iPad, although you could if you were in another part of the country.
Of course, if you'd rather save a whole lot of money and you don't mind the old-school radio broadcasts, you can just subscribe to At Bat 12. For $15 a year, you can hear every game on every device under the sun (including Windows Phone 7 handsets).

Rua da Levada de Sao Joao, no 4
Wskazówki Odnośnie Placówki
Exit the airport onto the Via Rapida towards Funchal/Camara de Lobos/Ribeira Brava. Your lights must be on at all times when using this road. 2. After passing exit 10, move into the left hand lane. This is because exit 9 is a little unusual, having one slip road to the left and one to the right. You need the left. 3. Leave at exit 9 from the left hand lane, signposted to the Hospital. 4. Follow the exit road all the way downhill to a roundabout where you should note the mileage/kilometerage reading on your vehicle´s odometer. Distances quoted later will all be relative to this datum. It is not far to the hotel and these figures will help you. 5. Take the 3rd exit from the roundabout. After 0.4km *note* the 'A Morgadina' restaurant on the left hand side. There is a small road just before it that you will be turning into a little later. Driving laws do not allow you to cross a solid white line down the middle of the road, so the following instructions will help you to do the necessary 180 degree turn safely. 6. Carry on down the hill and through a tunnel. On leaving the tunnel, immediately get into the left lane. After 1.4 km from the datum you will see a tattoo studio on the far side of a roundabout type road junction. Stay in the left through lane (not the one for the car park) and use the roundabout to reverse your direction of travel, following signs to the hospital so that you re-enter the tunnel in the opposite direction (Northbound). You need to be particularly alert here because there are several pedestrian crossings and traffic lights to be negotiated in this vicinity. You should be 1.7km from the datum when you re-enter the tunnel. 7. Stay in the right hand lane, pass the ´Hotel Sao Joao´ and be ready to take the next right after 2.6km from the datum. The Quintinha Sao Joao is 25m along this road on the right hand side. Parking is available beneath the hotel, the access road sloping down to the right immediately after the hotel main entrance.

Dear friends in Dhamma,
I seem to recall reading in the suttas something along the lines of: 'One who understands origin, no longer concieves according to the annihilationist-view; and one who understands cessation, no longer conceives according to the eternalist view.' Something like that, but I can't seem to find this passage -- look as I may. Anyone know where this is from?

WALNUT - City Hall has lowered its flags to half-staff in honor of former Walnut High School basketball star Monica Quan, who was killed along with her fiance in an Irvine parking garage allegedly by former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner.
Extra patrols from the Walnut Sheriff's Station and LAPD have been ordered for the quiet residential city, which is home to a large number of current and former LAPD officers, including LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, said Mayor Mary Su.
"We do have a lot of police and sheriffs (deputies) who live in Walnut," said Su, who gave the order to lower the flags in Quan's honor.
Dorner, 33, is also suspected of killing a Riverside police officer and seriously wounding another in an ambush Thursday at a stoplight.
Quan, 28, is the daughter of retired LAPD Capt. Randal Quan, who was mentioned in Dorner's rambling manifesto pasted to his Facebook wall, and was a possible target in an alleged killing spree of people he believes did him wrong. Randal Quan represented the suspect before a disciplinary board shortly before Dorner lost his job with the LAPD in 2008.
"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner wrote. "You will now live the life of the prey."
Randy and Sylvia Quan live in Walnut, confirmed Su.
The Quans' daughter played basketball at Walnut High and also played AYSO soccer at Walnut Ranch Park, remembers City Councilman Tom King, also a former LAPD detective.
"No words of consolation can properly console Randy and Sylvia Quan with the tragic loss of their daughter," King wrote in an email to the city manager and his colleagues on the City Council.
He said Randy Quan briefly worked for him at the LAPD, but was then promoted to captain. King worked in the detective bureau. King said "Randy ... was a strong advocate for fairness and justice, always a professional. I cannot imagine the grief that he and Sylvia feel.
"As long as I remember they were cheering Monica as she made a name for herself at Walnut Ranch Park playing in AYSO and at Walnut High as a star athlete," King said. "I remember them always cheering `Go Monica!' from the sidelines," he recalled.
King called the suspect "a coward" for ambushing police officers and "not having the guts to turn himself in."
Su said the city sent the Quan family condolences and flowers through an intermediary. The family is not speaking to the media.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Greinke sharp in bullpen session
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Zack Greinke, who missed Sunday's bullpen session with minor forearm tightness and missed a Wednesday start because of the flu, threw an impressive bullpen session Friday with no discomfort from either.
As two athletic trainers and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt watched and manager Don Mattingly stood in both batter's boxes, Greinke threw all of his pitches under the roof of the batting cage with solid command and reported no problems.
"It felt good," he said. "I feel a lot better after being sick earlier in the week. I'm good to have my workout now."
Greinke clearly was more affected by the flu than the arm stiffness, although the management that signed him to a $147 million contract was holding its breath.
"It's really nothing serious," he said. "It's just something I deal with sometimes in Spring Training, and sometimes during the season."
Greinke was pleased with the command of all of his pitches and Mattingly shook his head approvingly at the nastier ones. Greinke said feedback from a former batting champ like Mattingly is helpful, to a point.
"Now I want to see how the hitters respond in the game," said Greinke. "In the 'pen, everything can feel sharp. Sometimes in the 'pen it looks really good, but the hitters can tell you it's not as good as you think. Other times you feel that it's not as good, but to the hitters it's not easy to see."

Sometimes good intentions just don't cut it. Each night before I go to sleep I load a certain webpage up called todoist. I use it for what's it's intended for a "to do list". I have sub-sections created like "Things to Come" for my record label todo's, Live Show, Music, Website, Personal, etc… I check though all the things I want to do the next day and tag them with a +1 which means due tomorrow.
Today I woke up and started on my list. Most of the things I really needed to get done had to deal with uploading things to my server. The next release on my label TTC-015/Ionic Vision with remixes by David Carretta, Millimetric, Stamba and myself needed to be uploaded to Neuton Distribution. This was priority number one as things were delayed a few times over the past months.
For some reason I could not connect to the server using my FTP client called Transmit from Panic Software. The Things to Come Records website was up and I was getting email so I knew that the entire site wasn't down. I decided to not stress and just put the files on the wire to the ear server. Guess what? No luck! Same problem! I use the same host for both websites so it was tech support time. It's always fun to wait twenty minutes on hold when calling from Germany to the USA. When I finally got through they told me it was a corrupted file and in thirty minutes everything would be working again. If this were the end then that would be ok but my friends this story isn't over. Thirty later I try again and still the same problem. Thirty more minutes on hold and I am told everything is good on their end and I should not be having an issue. I call my friend Matt and ask him if he can log-in to my server. He logs in without a problem which means something has gone wrong on my laptop.
I was using my fairly new Macbook Pro with Leopard and I knew there was a recent Software Update. This must be the issue right? I load up the old 12″ 867Mhz Powerbook running Tiger and to my surprise the same issue! Next I check Julie's computer and again… same issue. All three computers at the office are unable to log-in. So it must be a router issue. Surely when I get to the music studio I will be able to log into the server. I eat LUNCH then head over.
So I'm at the studio ready to upload these files and get some other stuff done. Computer on. Oh crap. Same problem! Now I'm really confused. How could this be? How could I be on a totally different machine, different location and still not be able to log-in when several other people are able to? By now I'm a professional network administer and checked Firewall Settings, Passive/Active Modes, Router Configurations, my .Mac stuff, Keychains and I still can't get things to work.
So the day is over, nothing has been solved, no work has been done. Ho hum.
Update: I took my laptop to a neighbor's apartment and to my surprise I was able to FTP. Does this mean my ISP is at fault? Or are my settings automatically changing when I am at a new network location? Unfortunately Germany is now closed down for the holidays for at least a few days so getting someone here to help won't be easy.
