Ok, let me be as clear and concise as possible, and I apologize in advance in case you don't agree with me: I don't like this game. I do know it's a kinda illogical and irrational opinion, because I don't see any harm in catapulting birds onto pigs or even in arming oneself with a MP5 or any other gun and kill zombies, humans or whatever stands in my way, videogaming speaking. However, I don't see the point of "the most realistic and authentic hunting sim". Yes, I'm incongruous and it may not have to make any sense to some of you, but I don't understand why a developer would leave behind that great idea of taking pics of wild fauna instead of shooting them down.
By the way, and that's the worst part, game's terrific. Graphics, moves and animations are outstanding and that X-ray vision is even a step forward in shooting games. Game's quite heavy and requires a powerful Android to run properly, but that's a cheap price in exchange for a game that has not to envy anything. What prevent a five out of five is the missed opportunity of adding more modes of play and even some links here and there in case someone wants to know more on how to love these animals instead of shooting them down.

Wondering what its like to be an Orientation Leader??
Not sure if you should apply??
Here is some advice from two former Orientation Leaders Jessical Hamel and Tara Connell!!
Jessica Hamel is a Fourth year Education major from Candia, NH. She was a Transfer and Fall OL, and she was an Orientation Advisor.
Tara Connell is a Fourth year Psychology major from Billerica, MA. She has been an OL for three years, taking part in Summer and Fall Orientation.
Why you liked being an OL?
The thought of coming to college scared me; I was extremely nervous throughout my orientation. The anxiety of college slowly simmered in my first year when I decided I wanted to be an Orientation Leader. I was so impressed by them during my orientation, especially how they tried so hard to make me comfortable and excited. I wanted to be able to be there for future students as my OL's where there for me. My favorite part about being an OL was helping people step out of their comfort zones and make new friends. Also, I was able to meet new people and develop my own relationships and identity as a leader on our campus.
What you learned from Orientation?
The most important lesson I learned through orientation is that if you don't take chances you'll never know! Orientation has provided me with so many opportunity's, and if I didn't take the leap out of my own comfort zone I would never be where I am today.
Why others should apply to be an OL?
Orientation Leaders are an important part of UNE. As student leaders we have a fun responsibility to be role models to our fellow peers. We develop relationships with each other as well as faculty and staff throughout campus. The opportunities received by being an OL is an endless list!

Match pointers
1874 NORTHWICH, buoyed by victory at Cammell Laird on Tuesday in the Cheshire FA Senior Cup, return to league duty with one objective – to win.
Ian Street's men have won five of their past six matches in Division One, collecting maximum points from their previous four games at Barton Stadium while racking up 15 goals.
Daley Woods, ineligible in midweek, should return while Lee Jones is available again too after missing the same game through work commitments.
Rick Bailey (groin) hopes to be fit to feature, but defender Connor Tagoe is a doubt after he was forced off inside the opening quarter hour of his debut.
Newcomer Michael McGinlay staked a claim to start after scoring on his first competitive appearance for the club.
1874 have won both of their previous meetings this season with their Manchester-based guests, including a 4-0 success last time out.
Villa are without a victory in the league away from Flixton, nor have they kept a clean sheet on their travels to date this season.
Their previous win, against Hanley, in Division One dates back to September, 11 games ago.

Two starkly different Chula Vista neighborhoods were pitted against each other recently as each clamored for the same pot of $840,000.
A plan to take money slated for construction of a neighborhood park in the city's poverty-stricken southwest area and use it to plug a financing gap in downtown's long-delayed Third Avenue Streetscrape project failed to win council approval last week.
A compromised brokered by Councilman Steve Castaneda to instead dip into reserves, moving both projects along, will be reconsidered March 13.
The Third Avenue Streetscrape project, seven years in the making, was scaled back after the loss of city redevelopment dollars.
The redesign includes greater pedestrian access, larger sidewalks for outdoor dining, energy efficient pedestrian lighting, landscaping and changing the number of traffic lanes. Millions of dollars in outside funding is at stake if the project doesn't move forward.
The city had $642,000 in redevelopment money allocated to the project before the state eliminated redevelopment agencies. Because of the new laws, if the city doesn't spend the money on that project, it will go to the state.
Additionally, a $2.5 million SANDAG grant will have to be given back if the city does not follow through with the plan.
Downtown interests pledged to donate up to $100,000 toward construction to keep the project moving forward.
Christine Moore, who serves on the board of directors for the Third Avenue Village Association, said the project's blueprint is the result of thousands of hours of work by hundreds of volunteers and staff members.
"The idea of walking away from a grant of more than $2 million and more than $600,000 in redevelopment dollars that cannot be reallocated to another project seems very unwise to me," Moore said. "We are now in sight of the finish line. Please do not let this project fall apart at the eleventh hour."
Though most public commenters spoke in favor of reallocating the money slated to build a park near the Orange Avenue library, members of the Southwest Chula Vista Civic Association were adamantly opposed.
"I think we can empathize with the frustration these Third Avenue people are expressing because we are very frustrated in the Southwest and have been for many, many, many years," President Theresa Acerro said. "Our kids need a place to play."
Castaneda concurred: "I can't in good conscience, take money from one community and give it to another."
The council is scheduled to vote March 13 on his suggestion to dip into the reserves while staff members explore other state funding possibilities.

'"After playing last night (a 3-2 win over Montreal) I thought we played a real strong first period," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We made a big mistake late in the second that cost us a goal, but I thought we came out at the start of the third focused and ready to go at it again. We gave ourselves a chance to win and that's all you can ask."'

Pop and rock music covers a wide variety of genres, styles, and influences. From Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to Aerosmith and the Dave Matthews Band, pop and rock music are collectively the most successful types of music out there today. Want to see Pink in concert? View the listings below for upcoming dates and Pink tickets.
Sorry! We couldn't find any events for Pink in Las Vegas.
Alecia Beth Moore was born in Doylestown, PA, in 1979. The child developed asthma, and her parents got divorced when she was young. A creative rebel, Alecia wrote songs, danced, and sang in Philadelphia clubs, and she joined an R&B trio called Choice with Chrissy Conway and Sharon Flanagan. When the band broke up, the teen pop star and songwriter dyed her hair and kept singing. Alecia released her debut hip hop album, Can't Take Me Home, in 2000. "There You Go" and "You Make Me Sick" reached the Top Ten and established her rock music persona, and she also opened for the 'N Sync No Strings Attached Tour.
2001 was a pivotal year, as Pink met her future husband at the X Games and released a new album. Named Carey Hart, her friend was a motocross racer, and Missundaztood featured "Don't Let Me Get Me," "Just Like a Pill," and a collaboration with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith called "Misery." For the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, the artist joined Mya, Lil Kim, and Christina Aguilera to sing a remake of a Patti Labelle song, "Lady Marmalade." Scoring a Grammy Award, this hit pushed her career to the next level and exposed her to a wider audience. She completed Try This in 2003, and fans lined up for discount P!nk concert tickets.
After proposing to her boyfriend, P!nk walked down the aisle to a Billy Joel song in 2006. Although she brought out her feminine side with a white wedding dress, the album I'm Not Dead maintained a strong music style with singles like "Who Knew." Producing hits, she worked with stars like The Indigo Girls, Annie Lennox, and India.Arie. But marriage was challenging, and Pink almost got divorced. While she channeled her anger into the Funhouse album, the singer still cared about her husband. Now the couple is closer than ever, but their breakup inspired Pink lyrics. And this fall, the icon is preparing to tour America with The Ting Tings.


text: Show Hide image Politics 16 January 2013 Investors turning towards risky assets, says Mervyn King Banks need to set up new capital regulations. Sign up for our weekly email * Despite lessons from the earlier financial crisis, investors are looking forward to invest in risky assets in order to improve their returns, according to Sir Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England (BoE). King, who made his comments at a hearing focused on the stability of banks in the UK, warned that returns on the US junk bonds declined by 6 per cent. Anticipating that investors are turning toward risky assets, the global stock markets grew, he said. However, the UK and many continental European economies are still facing problems. "The search for yield appears to be beginning again," King told MPs on the treasury select committee. "A combination of a weak recovery and at the same time people searching for yield in ways that suggest risk being priced in is a disturbing position." Former investment manager Robert Jenkins and Michael Cohrs, a former head of investment banking at Deutsche Bank, told the Financial Policy Committee that banks should be forced to hold top quality capital equal to more than 4 per cent of their total balance sheets. Meanwhile, Andrew Haldane, executive director of financial stability at BoE, and Thomas Hoenig of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have suggested for tougher leverage ratios to be implemented by banks. Mr Haldane told the committee that banks' risk models lacked "any robustness". "They're not a sound basis for the setting of capital regulations. That is increasingly recognised not just by regulators, but by investors in banks," he said. "The regulatory community made a significant error in the 1990s in the reliance it placed on deeply complex and deeply fragile models. That balance now needs to be redrawn." Both Mr Cohrs and Mr Jenkins said they doubted banks would ever be able to price risks to the financial system properly. "They didn't last time," Mr Jenkins said. "There are many times in history where they've failed. It would be a bad bet to bet that they would." Andrew Tyrie, chairman of Financial Policy Committee, said: "Listening to the FPC, I had the impression they think that risk weights aren't worth the paper they are written on and leverage is too high." The regulators also accepted that Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Lloyds Banking Group would need to raise new capital or sell off large parts of their businesses.

Thats a pretty cool video.
The opinions expressed by this user are not those of a competent individual. If they were that would mean I know what I am talking about.
Amsteel is some amazing stuff. I've got it spooled on a 9000 lb winch on my jeep. I've seen it move vehicles much larger than jeeps. Jeeps are really light.
Dragging a jeep with wheels locked in gravel isn't that impressive, moving a rolling load also not that impressive, tilting a jeep was almost impressive but if he had rigged a sling and picked the whole thing up I would have been impressed, a 4 wheel drive forklift spinning in gravel also wasn't that impressive.
Amsteel on the other hand is impressive all by itself.
I have been reading alot of posts that have to do with this amsteel rope but had no idea what it was capable of. I am really going to have to invest in some of this stuff soon. Thanks for the link to this video.
Truly an amazing product. Just remember to use splices and no knots.

He isn't a loser. He never was. He had a winning record in the NBA until he took on rebuilding the Pacers. He will do a good job for Dallas too....
This is the correct answer.
Isiah in the 2003 playoffs - remember game one?
Dear God.
Don't make me pull that play-by-play out of the PD archives.
Remember - he ran out of timeouts because he burned one to prevent one of Ron's meltdowns, "accidentally" took Reggie of out the game when the C's were at the line -- in the last 24 seconds when the Pacers had 0 timeouts and the Celtics missed the freethrow. The Pacers rebounded and the only way they could stop the clock to get Reggie back in the game was to commit a turnover.
That's awful.
I didn't like Jim O'Brien's emphasis on perimeter play, but he wasn't THAT bad.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
James Posey..... that is all
JOB was a bad coach. He did not know how to utilize talents of the players.
Plain and simple - he got fire, Vogel stepped in and got us to the playoffs in 2011. Vogel went 20 - 18 in the last 38 games with the same roster that JOB had
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
Not our problem anymore.
Nothing to see here folks... thanks for stopping by.
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on.
Retaining O'Brien was the only tanking strategy the Pacers had available short of infecting their players with various communicable diseases during the course of his regime. Their talent level was too good. The instant turnaround for the one game under Lester Conner where they played correctly and in the proper positions as well as the remainder of the season of the great emancipation where the Pacers could easily have ousted the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs were clear illustrations that either O'Brien was a willing participant in a brilliantly disguised tank, or that the game of professional basketball had long ago passed him and his rigid and completely predictable strategies by.
O'Brien's poor rotations, playing his available talent out of position and away from their strengths or not at all for absolutely no basketball reason other than being young, as well as his complete lack of clock and momentum management were each maddening, but the combination of all of them did what even the brawl and the events that transpired after could not - namely, drive away a good portion of the remainder of the core of the fanbase as paying customers. Even Isiah Thomas didn't accomplish that.
Debate settled?
While I don't like JOB as a coach, I think he's not as bad as some people think. Heck he has a pretty decent coaching record than most of his peers in the business.
The thing with JOB is that he's a coach that's like a fixed shape, meaning his philosophy is fixed, his pattern is fixed, his style of coaching is fixed, etc. That is why he clicked on some teams, like Boston for example, while did not on a team like Indiana. While this is obvious to all, his coaching style revolves around these:
- He likes a big man who can shoot from outside the perimeter. Walker and Posey flourished under his coaching. Stretch 4 is somehow synonimous with JOB.
- He loves 3-pointers. Pierce and Granger for example, made a living outside when JOB was their coach.
- He does not rely on point guards to set plays, and never likes them to be ball-dominant. Ball-dominant point guards, like DC and TJ, never had a great career under him. And he likes continuous ball movement, although mostly from outside the arc.
- He likes to play veterans. Veteran teams like the Celtics and Sixers made the playoffs without too much fiasco over playing time. In the Pacers, well Roy Hibbert as a rookie never had much of a significant career mainly due to Rasho playing more. And the PF spots mainly belong to Murphy and Posey duing his era as Pacers HC, both are veterans and outside shooters, as opposed to Josh and Tyler.
- His rotation is fixed. Regardless of how good you were the last game, a bench player will always be a bench player for him. A starter, even though struggling, will still get the bulk of the minutes.
In Dallas as an assistant coach, I think his offense will be well-suited because Dallas not only has Dirk as the stretch 4, and also the main guy, but that team is also loaded with veteran role players that will have little problems with regards to offensive roles and playing time (although it's still Rick's call when it comes to PT and plays). Aside from that, JOB won't have problems working on defense because Rick has been there sharpening their defense, which is one of the best in the league. It will be interesting how Rick and JOB, 2 guys that are good and bad on opposing fields, will be coaching that team.
So to summarize, JOB before the Indiana coaching gig was a good one. JOB in Indiana is a bad coach, one of the worst in recent Pacers history. JOB with Dallas can potentially be good.
do people actually forget the 08-09 season? There were a few coaching brain farts, but go look at that roster and tell me if they had any business being in that many close games/ coming close to securing a playoff spot. If the goal was to tread water (and that appears to have been the FO's goal) then by that measure he did all he could and maximized the strengths of that squad. Sure, as a fan I probably would have done a better job in developing the young guys. But by doing that I probably would have finished with ten less wins and been let go by bird at the end of the season.
Why so SERIOUS
(In answer to the original post.)
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Hoop, you are one of my favorite posters, but I strongly disagree with you that gettign to the Eastern Conference finals is a fluke - it is never a fluke. This isn't the NCAA - the better team almost always wins the playoff series. No, Jim did a great coahcing job to get that Celtics team to the ECF.
The Siixers were better the season Jim coached them then they were the season before or the season after. He wasn't well liked by the players there, but a lot of coaches are not well liked.
I also remember the time he was leaving Melo open because his book told him to..... Of course we could forget that because he made it to the ECF with Boston right?
The 2002 Eastern Conference was without question one of the weakest conferences in the history of the NBA. Just an abysmal collection of teams. The Celtics beat a 43 Sixer team and a Detroit team with a Stackhouse/Atkins/Ben Wallace/Corlis Williamson core. That year, a red-hot Pierce and Walker was enough to get them to the ECF's. In most seasons, however, they would not have had a prayer at the conference finals. The following season, the Nets swept them out of the playoffs.
Letting a player continue shooting once he's established that he's hitting the shot isn't not a reasonable coaching strategy. If he's mising, you take a step back and encourage it. When he's hitting, you don't keep your strategy and allow him to bury you.
Strategy shifts can happen during games. That's what good coaches do. It's what bad coaches don't do.
When was this game. I am curious, i'd like to see the box score. Was this in Jim's last season or third?
OK - I located the game it was 1/23/10 - in the middle of a 6 game losing streak 3 games before his firing.
He shot 6 for 8 from threes. One thing the play-by-play does not detail is missed three point shots.
But here is when He hit the threes.
1) 4:19 - first quarter
2) 9:16 - third quarter
3) 8:40 - third quarter
4) 3:08 - third quarter
5) 2:25 - third quarter
6) 1:03 - third quarter
So there was no reason to make any adjustments at halftime - 5 of the 6 threes came in the third quarter when the Nuggets went from a 10 point halftime lead to a 20 point end of third quarter lead. Seems to me the threes came really quick in what was a blowout.
The question is did Jim make any adjustments in the 3rd quarter - I don't know how we can ever determine that. he had lost the team by then, so who knows if he told the players after the first two threes in the 3rd to get up on Melo, or if we was content to play the percentages.

He hit a bunch of 3's wide open with nobody on his face because "that was the strategy", at the end of the game they asked Melo about they "strategy" and he laughed his a** off, then they went to the clown and he said pretty much that his book told him to and that he would do it again.
Melo is a .322 career three point shooter, so yes if I were coaching against him I would be thrilled if he took 8 threes - whether open or not. Miuch better than his wing jumper or getting into the lane and getting to the free throw line/.
I would guess every coach's gameplan on melo is "give him the threes", pray he is three happy tonight.
I'll repeat, at the very least it is within the realm of NBA coahcing reasonableness to allow Melo to get some open threes.
I agree with you, basically. You can't discount Jim's successes in Boston. I understand your wanting to argue against the proposition that JOB has always been and will forever be a horrible coach.
On the other hand, it is equal annoying to me that you can't seem to acknowledge that he was a bad coach here at Indianapolis. I don't know why he was so bad here, but he had some nice successes in Boston. I'm sure there's reasons. But to just stick your head in the sand forever and ever about this problems here . . . well, that annoys me as much as people annoy you who say he never had good moments as a coach.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Wow, I always thought that a two years separation from JOB was going to open your eyes I guess I was wrong.
That didn't used to be the case with the best of 5 series in the first round. Of course the Lakers lost in the first round and then it was magically decided it would be better to be a "best of 7" across the board.
/end side rant
The first round became a best of 7 in 2003. That was after three straight Laker championships.
The clown had Murphy on Bynum and Dunleavy on Gasol at one time but he made the ECF with Boston so is ok, he had Posey on guys like Amare and Griffin but is ok because he made it to the ECF with Boston, he called Mcbob's irrelevant after having played the game of his life but is ok because he made it to the ECF with Boston......
Hopefully I can stop posting with this.
I thought at the time and still think that getting those Pacers teams to win 36 games in each of Jim's first two seasons, was a good coaching job. Not coach of the year quality, but so far so good quality.
Third season things fell apart to a degree, and I posted after that third season that Jim should not be brought back as I feared and figured season #4 would be worse than season #3.
Does this indicate my head is in the sand?
Many things I didn't agree with. Too many three point shots. his inability to get his players to buy into his defensive scheme a scheme which was fine a scheme which the Celtics used to great results in 2008. Never liked his wild subsitution pattern - I like a set rotation like Frank does it.
So no, I don't agree that Jim was a horrible coach when he was here. Two good seasons followed by a bad season and a half and it should have only been 1 bad season - bad decision to bring him back by TPTB.
Overall he was better than Isiah, Versace, Irvine. No where nearly as good as Brown, Carlisle and Bird. In the same class (sorry ChicagoJ) as Bob Hill.
So I guess I view him as an average coach during his time with the pacers.

Topic: end of six month chemo
My sister finished her six month stint on Gem Cis last month. She had her scan and all looked good no evidence of spreading. Since the end of chemo she, me and friends have done a charity run for cancer she did great and ran all the way. She has now taken a turn for the worse her pain has inceased and they have given her mophine. I can't understand after having such great results with the scan why things appear to have got worse so quickly. Does anyone have any ideas what her pain might be?

Vampire bounty hunter Morgan Bailey wants three things for her birthday: cupcakes, a little action from her sexy new boyfriend, and a good night's sleep. After the year she's had, is a quiet celebration really so much to ask?
Apparently…yes. It turns out a psychotic sidhe - a subspecies of fae - is running amok in Portland, and it's up to Morgan to take him down. There's just one problem: this fairy is as powerful as he is psychotic. And considering the supernatural nut jobs Morgan has dealt with, that's saying something.
Morgan ends up forming an uneasy alliance with the Fairy Queen and embarks upon her most outrageous adventure yet to take out the renegade sidhe. If she fails though, and the sidhe achieves his endgame, it will trigger devastation unlike anyone - or anything, human or otherwise - has ever seen.

"What a disappointment..."
No. The first two books in the series held promise, but this one seemed to have a patchwork plot. It is possible the author was using this book as a bridge to extend the series. However, with such a disappointing story, I will not be a reader/listener of any future books.
Nothing in this series. The Penton Legacy series was recommended by a friend so I will give that a try. I know the narrator of that series is very good.
Narrator was mediocre.
Disappointment that I spent my time listening to it.
"Enjoyable serires"
8 out of 10
She really brings the characters to life.
The weakest part of the book is the romance. There was such great potential for the love triangle. But t.he dragon is so perfect - boring I can't remember his name. Jake is the worlds worst bodyguard. Before they met he could psychically intuit when she was in trouble. After they met...not so much. Supposedly he couldn't be with her because he needs to be clear headed to guard her...but after they slept together a couple of times he not only couldn't sense when she was in trouble...but was never around her and never answered her phone call. I started wondering if after he got what he wanted he just wanted to be left alone so he could teach 5th graders piano.
"Good but a bit cheesy"
A good supernatural romance story. Follows well with the other books though! Not for kids.
Can't get the last 3 books for audio so I bought for my kindle. This is a awesome series I <3 Inigo!
"enjoyed all thee books. the third as much as the"
loved it. didn't know what was going to happen next. characters were well written. looking forward to the next part!
"Queen of Air and Darkness"
Kissed by Smoke was well written with lots of original imagination, but an abrupt ending full of sadness was unexpected.
I just loved this book,,
I need more of them,
Bloody brilliant
Not a fan of the narrator though,
Keep them coming,xx

Tigers send Lobstein to Double-A; trade Casali
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Tigers on Monday outrighted left-hander Kyle Lobstein to Double-A Erie, and traded catcher Curt Casali to Tampa Bay to retain the rights to Lobstein.
Lobstein, was selected by the Mets from the Rays in the Rule 5 Draft last year, before he was traded to the Tigers in exchange for cash considerations following the Draft.
"We liked him," president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "It was apparent he wasn't going to make our club over the last few days, but we like what we've seen. We have a tough club to make, based on what we're trying to accomplish at this point, for a young guy."
The lefty has given up 12 runs (10 earned) in 12 innings for the Tigers this spring (seven appearances). He went 8-7 with a 4.06 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 27 starts last year with Double-A Montgomery in the Tampa Bay organization.
"He knows how to pitch," Dombrowski said. "He's got an average fastball. He can spot his fastball and he's got some movement on it. He knows how to change speeds. His breaking ball, which we know that he has, hasn't been consistent for us. But our staff likes his breaking ball. He probably needs a little more development time, is what he needs."
Casali hit .288 with 12 doubles, eight home runs and 25 RBIs in 48 games with Class A West Michigan last year, and .250 with 13 doubles, a homer and 18 RBIs in 46 games with High-A Lakeland.

Hi! I'm a senior in high school and have been running on the cross country team for almost 4 years now. I absolutely love it and since we only have a few weeks left in the season I have started to think about what I'm going to do running wise when the season ends. I was thinking about running a half marathon. I'm thinking it would be fun since all I have ever ran is 5ks. What is a good plan? Right now I'm running 30 to 40 miles a week over 6 days. My current PR is 21:12 so what could I probably run a half marathon in? How do you keep motavatied to put thehard days in? I will probably also throws some 5ks in there just for fun. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Running a Half Marathon
Are you running track in the spring.
Are you running track in the spring.
I'm not sure! I haven't ran track before since I was busy with other stuff. But if I decided to run in collage then I will.
Go sign up for one and find out.
Go sign up for one and find out.
What is your long run right now?
I would imagine you are trying for a spring HM and not a fall, but that depends on how well trained you are at the long distances. If you are running up to 10 mile long runs you are good to go for running a half this fall (find one soon, many of them are going to be in Oct and Nov and may close registration here pretty soon).
As far as a time goal, I wouldn't have one for your first, even if you are well seasoned.
Finish in what ever time is comfortable to you. Racing a 5k is very different than racing a HM.
I think you will be just fine running a half. Here is a race time predictor to plug your 5k time into:
Thanks so much for your help! I'm thinking about signing up for one on january 11th. It looks like a nice flat course its a trail half so thats good since I always run trails. What plans have you used? Did you like them?
You could probably run one around 1:40 or just under without any training other than what you have already been doing. However, you're talking about a trail half. If it's true single-track technical trails, then no one can predict your time, since times in those races are all course-dependent. Since you say it's flat though, I'm thinking you may be talking about a paved trail. If so, 1:40 or better should be easily do-able.
Thanks for the reply!! I was looking around at different half training plans and relized my schedules is already more then most of them. So i will defiently keep it up while increasing the length of the long run to 12 miles. On a good note I got a new PR today! 20:37 my first time ever getting under 21:00! The weather was perfect about 43 degrees and the course was nice and flat.

The weather was perfect about 43 degrees and the course was nice and flat.
Congrats on the PR! It's almost identical to both of my sons' PR's, and they both ran a half in 1:38 shortly afterwards on 25-30 mpw, and no specific half marathon training.
Your 5k times [albeit on XC courses] are similar to what I was running in 2011. Mileage was about double what you're putting in and my half marathon times were in the 1:36-1:37 range. I can see you getting under 1:40. When I ran 1:39 my 5k times were 60-90 seconds slower but with similar mileage you're recording now.
I followed the Pete Pfitzinger half schedule from his 1st book "Road Racing for Serious Runners". I've since moved on to a modified Brad Hudson schedule that better suits my profile. Either of these I would recommend. The Pfitz schedule is more traditional in that it has you doing more fast[er] intervals as you approach race week while the Hudson schedule front-loads the faster-paced stuff and focus on [half] race pace workouts in the last 5-6 weeks. Congrats on the new PB.
Do you respect the advice of your cross country coach ? Seems he/she has seen you run for the last 4 years and could advise you best. Better then anonymous, random internet bozos. Where do you live ? How available are half marathon races in the next few months ? Is winter coming for you (snow season) ? Or best running weather season (south) ? Do you have one in mind ? Do you want to peak for this race or just stay sharp in between team running seasons ?

A bid to merge ambulance service in the south west region, from Gloucestershire down to Cornwall has taken a step closer.
The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has been asked to approve the creation of a single sevice from the Great Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust (GWAS) and the South Western Ambulance Service (SWAS).
The move, which could happen as early as February 2013 could see jobs lost, however it is not clear how many staff will be affected.
Ken Wenman, chief executive of both organisations, said: "It is reassuring that at no stage of the process have there been any concerns that the partnership should not proceed and we are now looking forward to receiving final approval from the secretary of state."
He added that there had been "rigorous scrutiny" of the plans by external bodies.
South Western Ambulance Service covers Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as well as parts of Somerset and Dorset.

Acclaimed Finnish singer/songwriter and sonic sculptor Ville Leinonen, is to release his 13th album via Fonal Records. Last years Majakanvartijan uni began a new decade way ahead of its time. This long player goes beyond that time even, creating a whole new gang of Cenobites. Enter the fields of little new born insect babies facing the thrash metal warfare of your mind.
As with Raastinlauluja (Villes debut from 1997), there are soundscapes born of metal objects being scratched into life by all manner of electric devices, only now these are high fidelity and wide screen. Guitar feedback resonates from the moldy stone walls, having been cultivated during the 9 month recording process at Le Zen Tomb studio, Paris. The revolutionary Afghan theatre band L´Orch d´al-Fajr visited these recording sessions for a few strategic nights while having some free days on their European tour in February 2011, playing no small part (especially on the second half of the album).
Elsewhere, the Finnish pop singer Paula Vesala also makes an appearance, joining Leinonen to duet on Ensimmäistä kertaa (For The First Time). The organic poetry of nylon string guitar and heartfelt vocals (even more touching than on 2004s Suudelmitar) will tear you wide open on the first side. But Auringonsäde/Pommisuoja is most definitely a tale of two halves...

As Wisconsin lawmakers consider allowing the sale of raw milk, one group has released an infographic to warn about the realities behind unpasteurized dairy.
The Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition showed in its 2012 Food Safety Progress report that raw milk is risky -- Campylobacter illnesses increased by 14 percent and Vibrio by 43 percent. For Vibrio alone, the CDC estimates that around 140 cases go undiagnosed for every Vibrio parahaemolyticus case reported.
The percentage of E. coli O157, Listeria, Salmonella, and Yersinia remained unchanged last year when compared with outbreaks reported in 2006 to 2008.
Click here for the infographic.
Atticus Communication reports that the dangers of raw milk go beyond this infograpihc. Medical costs of those affected have been as high as $1 million.
One case in particular demonstrates raw milk risks. In April 2012, 15 children in Oregon became ill from E. coli after drinking contaminated milk. A two-year-old and three other children were hospitalized after developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and acute kidney failure. The girl's mother spoke with Oregon Public Broadcasting, warning others against feeding raw milk to children.
"There's just an inherit risk in feeding your children raw milk that you can't ― you can't ― ignore," she said.
Read, "Mother warns against feeding raw milk to children"
A year later, the now three-year-old is still dealing with the aftermath of the infection. She is reportedly unable to stand or walk on her own, cannot speak and is fed through a feeding tube. As of February, she was placed back on dialysis and is now waiting for a kidney transplant. Read more here.
In 2013, there have been numerous raw milk outbreaks, including outbreaks from a cow-share dairy in Alaska, The Family Cow in Pennsylvania, and in Minnesota.

A's using all available time finalizing roster
PHOENIX -- A's manager Bob Melvin will walk into camp Tuesday still carrying 36 players.
But come Wednesday evening, when the club packs its bags to head back to the Bay for three final exhibition games with the Giants, how many will still be in tow?
"I'm not sure yet. Somewhere around 36 maybe," Melvin said, smiling. "It's possible there are no more cuts before then, but I'm also not saying it won't happen."
As most teams are finalizing their rosters, the A's appear nowhere close to one -- and they won't be, it seems, until Sunday, when rosters must be set.
Oakland has yet to identify who will make up its middle infield. Jed Lowrie seems bound to gain one of the starting jobs, likely shortstop, while second base remains entirely up for grabs between Scott Sizemore, Adam Rosales and Eric Sogard.
Not named in that mix is Hiro Nakajima, the struggling shortstop who will probably remain on the roster but not in an everyday role -- at least for now.
"You can tell he has the ability to do it both defensively and offensively," Melvin said of Nakajima. "I think his track record in Japan shows that, and there's a reason we signed him and brought him here. We just haven't seen him get comfortable yet."
Elsewhere in the infield, the A's have to decide whether to keep one or two true first basemen. Brandon Moss is a lock, while the jury is still out on newcomer Nate Freiman, who will be offered back to the Padres if he does not make the team.
Then there is the bullpen, where 13 pitchers remain in camp, with seven spots up for grabs. Those decisions, like the infield ones, will come down to the final day.

10 Years Ago: Warren Zevon Releases His Final Album
Warren Zevon knew he was dying when he began recording his final album in the fall of 2002. He was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer just a few weeks before the recording sessions started for 'The Wind,' and he had a set of new mournful songs about mortality plus the usual assortment of familiar themes ready to go.
He also had a bunch of famous friends willing to help him out one last time. Jackson Browne, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen all joined him in the studio, giving poignant resonance to the new batch of songs, which turned out to be some of the strongest of his career.
Zevon's illness certainly fueled the urgency of his final recordings, which betray a frailness in his voice and even in his spirit at times. But the defiant tone captured in early songs like 'Frank and Jesse James' can be heard in 'The Wind' tracks like 'Dirty Life and Times,' and his eternal romance-on-the-rocks fatalism breaks through 'She's Too Good for Me.'
But the album is mostly about end days. It can't be escaped. He knows it, and so do his collaborators and backing musicians. Death runs through most of the songs — from 'Please Stay,' disguised as a lover's plea, to the cover of Bob Dylan's 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door.'
It hits hardest on the album's last track, 'Keep Me in Your Heart,' a teary farewell to family, friends and fans. From the song's opening line — "Shadows are falling, and I'm running out of breath" to its last — "These wheels keep turning, but they're running out of steam / Keep me in your heart for a while" — it's near impossible to make it through the song without getting choked up.
Zevon played this as his epitaph and, in a way, it's his last devilish trick on his audience. Not that anyone was given any hope (Zevon went on David Letterman's program after his diagnosis and chatted with the host in one of the most heartening, and heartbreaking, moments to ever grace late-night TV). 'Keep Me in Your Heart' is a carefully played goodbye coming at the end of one of Zevon's best albums.
'The Wind' was released on Aug. 26, 2003, and became Zevon's highest-charting album since 'Excitable Boy' reached No. 8 in 1978, peaking at No. 12. The album and several songs were nominated for Grammys; it won for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and 'Disorder in the House,' the Springsteen duet, won for Best Rock Vocal Performance.

Motte ups the intensity of his throwing sessions
ST. LOUIS -- Jason Motte increased the intensity of his throwing on Tuesday, four days after he resumed playing catch to test the durability of his right elbow.
Motte estimated that he made 25 throws from about 60 feet before throwing 10 more times at a 90-foot distance. He said the elbow responded well to the session.
Motte was diagnosed with a ligament tear in the elbow earlier in April, at which time general manager John Mozeliak said the organization would make a decision around May 1 whether season-ending Tommy John surgery is needed. Motte's ability to resume throwing from flat ground during this homestand has subsequently delayed that decision.
"I'm in no way worried about anything," Motte said after Tuesday's session. "I don't know if that's a good or bad way to be, but I'm in no way worried about it. I'm perfectly at peace with whatever happens. If I end up having surgery tomorrow, then I have surgery tomorrow. If I don't have to have it at all, that would be great. It's going to happen just the way it's supposed to happen. I'm doing what I can do to get the arm in shape, doing my rehab stuff, doing my throwing stuff with the intensity that we've talked about doing it in."
In addition to throwing with more exertion, Motte is throwing without the constant concern that the next throw could push his elbow back to a bad place.
"I think today we were at the point where you have to have faith in it," he said. "It's either going to feel great or it's not. The way today went, the way the past couple of weeks went, we have a positive attitude."
