England head coach Stuart Lancaster has given a glowing endorsement to his former club's radical plan to become Yorkshire Carnegie from next season.
Leeds have taken the county name in an attempt to harvest the best of the enormous pool of talent the White Rose has to offer.
The brainchild of Sir Ian McGeechan, Carnegie believe that shedding the city tag after 22 years for an all-encompassing county brand gives them the best chance of making a prolongued stab at Premiership sustainability.
The genesis of the idea actually occurred when Lancaster took office as Leeds's academy manager back in 2000.
His plan then was to retain the best players throughout Yorkshire and make Leeds a force in English rugby.
While it may not have proven successful, 14 years on Lancaster still believes that it remains the best way to make the vision a reality.
"When I began the academy in 2000 the whole premise was to keep the county talent in Yorkshire and I still think that should be the goal of the county," he began.
"Leeds have lost a lot of talent through the years, and they still are, and that's the frustration for the county.
"When I was appointed academy manager there was a worry at the time that the academy would fold.
"I actually went to the Yorkshire committee and spoke to them about this very subject.
"I gave them examples of players like the Charlie Hodgsons and Mike Tindalls of this world who had left Yorkshire and I said we want to try and stop that talent drain.
"We've got lads who have come in from South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, West and East who have all played for Leeds, but it's then retaining that talent which is the important thing and this will hopefully do that.
"In principle, if you could create a county side then long-term it would be a very good thing for the area and it would be a strong team."
Over the years, the Leeds academy has produced a number of talented players who have had to move outside the county to further their careers.
Hodgson and Tindall were snapped up by Sale and Bath respectively before there was an RFU academy like the one at Leeds to entice them.
But since then players like Jordan Crane, Danny Care and Luther Burrell all had to leave the club that produced them to satisfy their ambitions.
Even this season, before Leeds's Premiership challenge had unravelled, club captain and academy graduate Jacob Rowan had signed for Gloucester because he wanted to further his career.
This is exactly what Yorkshire Carnegie hope to prevent in the future.
That two of those to have left Leeds, Burrell and Care, were the try-scorers at Twickenham in February when England defeated champions Wales in the Six Nations underlines Lancaster's point – and the widespread belief – that the county is producing the talent to blossom on the world stage. Putting that to good use as a region has always been the conundrum, and one the England head coach believes can finally be answered as Yorkshire Carnegie.
"I think it's a good idea because you can build something from teams that have a real identity," continued Lancaster.
"The Yorkshire identity as a county is unbelievably strong when you look back through history.
"And going forward, the Tour de France is coming here, look at the boost that has given to Yorkshire.
"The county cricket side is a very strong identity, so there is something there to tap into.
"There is something special about coming from Yorkshire. I'm actually from Cumbria, but I've been here since I was 18.
"The current situation is pretty unique in that there is one RFU academy in the county. When I look at the other regional academy structures there are 14 academies, but there isn't one that exists just in one county boundary.
"Sale have Cheshire and Lancashire; Newcastle have Cumbria, Northumberland and Durham; but the Yorkshire academy in Leeds is one for just this county.
"That's the opportunity here and I couldn't see any other club having the potential to do this, that's why I think there are merits in it being considered and people should really give it some thought."
As a Leeds resident since he joined the club aged 18, the man who cut his teeth as a player, academy boss and director of rugby at Headingley admits to a little sadness that the city's name will no longer resonate in English rugby.
Carnegie chief executive Gary Hetherington has already said he believes this controversial move, one that has polarised opinion in the county, is the last throw of the dice in the club's attempt to become a sustainable Premiership force.
Lancaster's fears for the future do not stretch so far, but he does agree that sentimentality over a name is far outweighed by reality.
He said: "There's a little shame that there won't be a Leeds any more, but I've always personally put what's best for the county and what's best for the talent in the county ahead of anything, because that's the bigger picture.
"My whole remit at the outset was to develop a system where you could bring the county's players through and develop talent across the whole county.
"We had satellite centres at Doncaster, York, Huddersfield, Driffield, Hull Ionians. That was always my motivation; develop and retain that talent, and that's the biggest driver now.
"I've now got my son coming through junior rugby so I get around the county a lot and the passion for rugby union is huge.
"The county network exists now because Leeds, through the development player programme, have revitalised the satellite academy programme, so that gives my son a chance in the central district.
"But equally I know there are opportunities out there in the east, west, south and the north.
"And that's what it should be – a joined up county programme to develop our own talent."

A young girl shows how to make a simple bird feeder using a pine cone, string, peanut butter, and seeds.
Each book in this "Welcome Books" nonfiction series about making things features a child of seven who introduces himself or herself and proceeds in clear directions to tell how to create something out of common materials. Text of one or two sentences per page is faced by an illustration of the process. Specialized vocabulary is revisited in a pronunciation glossary, Website s and related books are mentioned, and an index is included. Here, Rita shows readers how to choose a pinecone, cover it with peanut butter, and roll it in birdseed making a simple birdfeeder a project well suited for preschool or primary grades and in directions that new readers can read for themselves. It also invites slightly older readers to write their own simple directions and create illustrations or photographs for a craft project they can recommend to their classmates. 2002, Rosen Book Works/Scholastic,

While I like some of the messages behind "social model" of disability like not seeing disability as inherently negative as a disabled person with CP like yourself I find that the disability is still there and still has downsides even in the few environments where it is entirely accessible to me i.e I still feel tight,off balance, and have some joint pains. Society changing won't change that. My disability itself is in my brain circuits, not in society. Only the attitude towards disability is in society.ReplyDeleteReplies
I mean, none of these 'models' get it exactly right. But I much prefer moving through life not hating or resenting myself because of something I can't change.Delete

Have you heard of "spiritual model" of disability? Not sure what it is actually but sounded interesting.Delete
I have not, but just the name makes me cringe, as I have not had good experiences with faith.Delete
- AnonymousJune 19, 2017 at 11:40 PM
Seems like you had issues from religiosity judging from your posts. Spiritual faith and religiosity are very different. Very religious people seem more "cure" oriented. Spiritual people seem more interested in acceptance in my personal experience.Delete
Even that gets tricky for me because the church I went where I experienced the most ableism was very vocal about not being religious and only being spiritual.Delete

The Reeds Center
The Reeds Center opened in January 2012. The Reeds Center is run by three licensed clinical psychologists with extensive experience and expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD. We developed our treatment programs based on our collective knowledge and experience in clinical research and practice at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Our work at these institutions focused on ways to improve response to cognitive behavioral therapies, including ERP for OCD. Each director is closely involved in the training and supervision of all clinical staff to ensure the highest quality of care.
The Reeds Center offers treatment for patients with OCD and comorbid conditions. We offer varying intensities of treatment in order to meet the needs of a wide range of patients. We also offer assistance with exposure practice outside of regular sessions with a patient's primary therapist for those who may need additional support.
Of note, we offer a variety of ways to make intensive ERP more affordable for patients, including group treatment, in-home sessions via Internet conferencing, and sessions with pre-doctoral externs and postdoctoral fellows.

Crews from Nelson Fire Station were called out in urgency after a whole series of wheelie bins were spotted blazing.
The incident happened on Thursday evening last week. They were called out at 6-36pm to the town's Southfield area, and they dealt with them.
Watch Manager Tom Simpson from the station's Green Watch, explained: "We had three separate calls to wheelie bins on Barkerhouse Road, Pine Street and William Street.
"These are all in a close proximity to each other. It took us approximately 45 minutes to deal with the seven wheelie bins."
And he added: "Some people may think that it is a bit of a prank setting fire to wheelie bins – there has been a case of a wheelie bin fire spreading to a house, causing fatalities. The perpetrator is now serving a prison sentence.
"Deliberate fires can cost lives. They also put a strain on fire service resources that may be required elsewhere."
So setting things alight can cause major problems and put people's lives at risk. If you suspect deliberate fires, you can ring the police or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. You can speak to Crimestoppers anonymously.

130 Cygnets Vaccinated At Abbotsbury Swannery
4:31pm 9th July 2013
Swanherds have the mammoth job of injecting 130 cygnets plus their parents today at Abbotsbury Swannery.
The routine vaccine will protect them against a fatal bird virus.
Swanherd Dave Wheeler said: 'Swans are very susceptible to duck viral enteritis. In the past we have lost a lot of birds very quickly to this virus.
'We go round nests and pens one at a time and sometimes this means catching the birds in the water. This can be a very difficult procedure and can result in hilarious viewing for spectators observing swanherds getting a ducking, or sinking up to their knees in mud.'

During the planning stages for the first Lemon Lily Festival we used money allocated to us by Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone to purchase Lemon lilies from a commercial nursery. About half of those lilies were planted around Idyllwild with the hopes that they would grow and bloom quickly as a symbol of our restoration effort. Sadly that turned out not to be the case.
I was very disheartened when the next year the only planted lilies I could find were at Lilly Creek by the Idyllwild Nature Center, but none of those bloomed that year. The following year and again this year some of those lilies have started blooming.
I planted about half a dozen lilies at the idyllic Quiet Creek Inn on Strawberry Creek. Although it is private property it does provide the opportunity for visitors to Idyllwild to get a glimpse of what Strawberry Creek could look like if managed properly. After meeting with the proprietors I knew they would be good stewards of the lilies.
Since this was the first attempt at planting lilies in a location where they might thrive unattended, I was not entirely sure where to place them. For the most part I relied on observations of lilies growing in the wild, but thought that it would be prudent to plant them at varying distances from the main channel to compensate for the changing water level from season to season and year to year. Unfortunately that next year we had a worse case scenario in which Strawberry Creek flooded becoming a raging torrent. I fear that many of those not yet established plants got washed away.
Last year a photo began circulating around town of one of those lilies in glorious bloom. Ironically the one that thrived was the last one I planted almost as an after thought. It was placed high up on the bank in a patch of wild roses in a location that I thought was the least likely to succeed. Just how its roots managed to reach the water is a mystery to me. Don't that beat all!
At another Idyllwild location where we planted a single lily there is now a gopher hole.
As an experiment I planted two lilies in Lilly Creek in plain view of the campground road. This was to see if 1) they would grow there and 2) if they would be left alone by the campers. For two years there was no sign of them. In fact, earlier this year I looked for them again with no success. The good news is that one is growing and did bloom this year. The bad news is that it got knocked down before two of its three flowers bloomed. There is a chance that they will still bloom if the stalk has not been severed.
The lesson to be learned is that there will be failures as well as successes. It was unreasonable to expect that we could plant Lemon lilies, leave them unattended, and have them bloom the following year. Even when planting mature plants that have bloomed previously it may take those plants some time to become established in their new environment before they will be ready to bloom again.
We can mitigate some problems such as not planting near gopher mounds. However, streambeds are dynamic, and it is difficult to anticipate what they will look like from year to year let alone a decade from now.
In a low precipitation year with record heat when streambeds are nearly dry the lilies are still blooming. In a populated area the biggest threat to the lilies remains people and not nature. Still, I remain optimistic as before that there are better days ahead for the Lemon lilies in Idyllwild, but we have our work cut out for us.

Policy paper
Interim chalara control plan
- From:
- Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
- Part of:
- Forests and woodland
- Published:
- 6 December 2012
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
This plan sets out initial action to control the disease and provides a framework for future action on Chalara.
Interim Chalara Control Plan
Ref: pb13843 PDF, 362KB, 25 pages
This file may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. Request an accessible format.
If you use assistive technology (such as a screen reader) and need a version of this document in a more accessible format, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please tell us what format you need. It will help us if you say what assistive technology you use.
Ash tree dieback is caused by the Chalara fraxinea fungus. It has already affected a high proportion of ash trees in Northern Europe.
It was discovered for the first time in Great Britain in a nursery in Buckinghamshire in February 2012. In October this year, it was also found in the wider environment in woodland in Norfolk.
The scientific advice is that it will not be possible to eradicate Chalara. However, this plan sets out initial targeted, science-based and proportionate action to control the disease and provides a framework for future action as our understanding of Chalara, and the costs and benefits of action develops. It follows our preliminary actions which were published on 9 November 2012.
Its four key objectives:
- Reducing the rate of spread of the disease
- Developing resistance to the disease in the native ash tree population
- Encouraging landowner, citizen and industry engagement in surveillance, monitoring and action in tackling the problem
- Building economic and environmental resilience in woodlands and in associated industries
The actions announced in the Control Plan include research into resistance to Chalara, funding to accelerate the development of ObservaTREE, a tree health early warning system using volunteer groups, and advice and guidance to industry on improving their resilience to Chalara.
Alongside the Control Plan, we are publishing the Interim Report of the independent Tree Health and Plant Biosecurity Expert Taskforce convened by Defra's Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Ian Boyd. The Task Force was set up to assess the current disease threats to the UK and has published its initial recommendations about how those threats could be addressed.

More Awkward Christmas Pics for the Whole Family
Oh, come all ye faithfully committed to the holiday loony bin! It's that time of year to unwrap more bad, creepy family Christmas photos! These awkward and funny holiday pics will stuff your stocking with LOLs and OMGs. So chug down yer egg nog, pour a mug of Christmas bourbon, and enjoy this warm and wonderful holiday treat!
Me-ow! Santa, Baby!
No one exudes the joyous Christmas spirit quite like the Murphys.
Looks like some little girl made Santa's naughty list.
Santa's been a busy boy.
Merry Christmas from the Commune.
Every year, Maggie made the entire family a new wardrobe out of the leftover wrapping paper.
Sit on Santa's lap with a rifle or pistol?… Hmm… Always a tough choice.
Nothing says Family Christmas quite like latex.
Burn, baby! Burn!
What did he just say about her mother?
Ho Ho Ho Hair.
Creepy Claus.
I think the Voyeur Family is enjoying the doggie action a wee bit too much.
Merry Christmas.
Obviously, Santa doesn't love everybody.
Even the baby knew this was a bad idea.
The princess on the left is a little too butch for my taste.
I see somebody got what he wanted for Christmas… Way to go, Dad!
Uncle Conroy after a few too many eggnogs.
Once a year, once only, The Schmidt Family put on the sweatshirts they got from grandma.
One takes sleeping pills. One takes diet pills. One takes heart worm pills… the other, she just suffers.
What kids don't like to hot tub with their parents then have a picture of it slapped on a Christmas card and sent to all their family & friends?
Aw, somebody's not up for the holidays!
Don't think those are visions of sugar plums dancing through those kids' heads.

Hello. I am taking valuable time away from a secret project for Master Wayne, aka, Batman.
I want to bring you some breaking news.
This news concerns a serious health problem affecting most people in America, in the UK, and in western Europe. They suffer from leaky gut syndrome and its related auto-immune diseases. However, 99% of them are never diagnosed correctly. Not a lot of people know that.
Holistic doctors have treated leaky gut syndrome for a decade. Even some conventional doctors now see the danger of leaky gut syndrome. Such doctors are no longer treating auto-immune diseases with drugs. I mean with steroids, cancer drugs, and anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs hide the symptoms but destroy the immune system. This makes leaky gut worse.
Meanwhile, leaky gut syndrome and the drugs devastate the body. This leads to a downhill course of pain, suffering, poor health, and early death, not to mention the huge financial drain. Leaky gut syndrome is the underlying cause of most auto-immune diseases.
These auto-immune diseases include irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease. They also include multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and many more.
These conditions are caused by inflammation and allergies resulting from leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome is a condition that begins with damaged intestines, also called your gut.
Gluten is the most common cause of leaky gut syndrome. It is found in wheat, barley, oats, and rye. The amount of gluten in these foods has increased over the past 50 years due to man-made changes in grain genetics, particularly in wheat.
These changes resulted in much more wheat production per acre, but the wheat is no longer any good. These genetic changes increased profits. Sadly, these changes also increased the amount of gluten in the wheat. Wheat has become poisonous.
Gluten, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and environmental toxins can all cause gut damage. Once your gut is damaged, many of the foods leak through your gut and into your blood stream. This leaking occurs before the foods are fully digested.
Your immune system does not recognize these larger, undigested food particles. Instead, the immune system considers these particles to be foreign to your body. So it initiates an immune response. This immune response is designed to destroy these larger, foreign particles.
Your immune system cannot distinguish between these larger particles and some proteins that exist in your healthy body tissues. This happens because some of these larger, undigested particles contain protein similar to that which occurs naturally in your body.
For example, leaky gut may allow a certain food particle to leak into your blood stream that contains protein similar to your joint tissue protein. Your immune system sets up a defense mechanism to attack these foreign proteins. Your own joints are also attacked because the foreign protein closely resembles your joint protein. The result - not good. The result is arthritis.
Leaky gut starts out with much milder symptoms such as bloating, stomach cramps, headaches, fatigue and brain fog. It may take years or even decades to become a full-blown auto-immune disease with blindness, deforming arthritis, kidney failure, strokes, and heart attacks.
It's always best to reverse leaky gut before it progresses to an advanced disease. But the great news is that you can reverse even these advanced diseases without the use of drugs. Not a lot of people know that.
You don't have to take the word of dozens of doctors who have treated thousands of patients. You don't have to take my word for it, or Master Wayne's, for that matter. And, whether or not you believe that leaky gut syndrome exists makes little difference. What matters most is that you can prove it to yourself!
You can prove that leaky gut syndrome can be gone in 30 days! Just take the "leaky gut challenge" for one month. You'll begin to feel the benefits in the first week. That's the real evidence. That's the real proof!
People suffering from many chronic diseases can feel normal and improve their health quickly by taking a few, simple steps. These steps are easy, cheap, and they work!
You can live a normal life free of depression, pain, and fatigue. Be encouraged! You can heal your leaky gut!
The Bible makes a challenge that goes something like this: "I call heaven and earth to record this day, that I have set before you life and death: therefore, choose life."
I would say: "Heal yourself, don't kill yourself."
Less dramatic than the Bible, but it makes the point.
Now, if you will please, excuse me, I must complete the secret project for Master Wayne before he returns.

Nothing is unexpected from a government that is running the religious roller-coaster to bulldoze the faculties of 'reason and proof' even in the fields of scientific education. A latest report of 'The Hindustan Times' revealed about the FRIMAN of 'Health Ministry' that aspiring physiotherapists will have to study Indian epics and Hindu scriptures as part of their bachelor's program prepared by a panel headed by PM Narendra Modi's yoga guru. A UGC official said they had written to universities in June, pointing out that after referring to the Ayush template they may adopt modules from the syllabus depending on the requirement of the course.
The Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP) president Dr Umashankar Mohanty said in a release. "Health ministry has already designed the model of course curriculum after consulting experts, which covers every aspect of physiotherapy education related to clinical practices." However, Indian Association of Physiotherapists which is a body with a membership base of over 50,000, has objected to Ayush ministry's move to include epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata, and religious treatise Bhagavad Gita and Narad Bhakti Sutras in their curriculum.The association said that no stakeholder was consulted and the syllabus was being pushed arbitrarily.
Dr Prabhat Ranjan of AIIMS, said, "The move will dilute the purpose of evidence based and scientifically practiced profession of health."
That raises a fundamental question – How far a regime can drag the sacrosanct edicts and mythologies of RELIGION into politics and social life of democratic socialist secular country like India where several religions and religious practices prevail and 'University in Diversity' is the spirit of our written Constitution?
Indian Secular Ethos don't allow to impose majority's ideology upon Indians of other faiths. As a matter of fact, per se, the religion of majority is full of diametrically opposite interpretations and often more it's a philosophy than 'strict and water-tight' tenets of some other Indian religions.
Actually, what the RSS / BJP Juggernaut is trying to do in the education spheres is to trot out religion decked in scientific trappings in a cynical parody of the real thing. I won't go in details but from the ancient micro-surgery to Pushpak Viman are a few anecdotes of them.
Religion is to be taught at home, monasteries and tabernacles and not in Scientific and Literary Institutes. In every university we do already have the departments where the education and information about Contemporary and Extinct religions is easily available in profusion. Those interested and desiring to know more about religion can always avail those facilities.
The rewriting science and history to include a clearly Sanatan Dharma Hindu View in its textbooks is the travesty of the spirit of 'True Education'.
Induction of mythology that is being flashed in religious text will leave students in the dark about contemporary mainstream scientific development and controversies.
The choice of 'Trojan Horse' of religion into the domains of 'Reason' and 'Proven Evidence' would destroy the basic purpose of education that is acquiring wisdom. It is an alarming ruse and puts into retrogress the progress of civilization. There must be "separation of church and state in education also." The 'religious curriculum imposed upon science curriculum would serve no other purpose except the saffronization of education and that is the hidden or clandestine agenda. This curious undertaking based upon the taxpayer money is contrary to expectations of a secular state as long it is a secular state.
Do we also want the stories of the 'Loch Ness Monster' also to be put into our Scientific Studies? Some believe these stories also true!
There should be no confusion and let no one fail to understand that this kind of willful instruction in saffron fantasy is harmful for the 'serious scientific attitude' which is real need of the hour to pull the nation out of poverty, hunger and disease.
The taxpayer money should not be expended to propagate the unproven sagas of bygone if they are not worth contributing to the learning of the specific subject. The dogmas and beliefs are to be followed and practiced for the religious engagements. They can't help for the development of a Vaccine of AIDS or Cancer.
The RSS attitude towards education is a strategic failure of a thinking system that is steeped in religious fanaticism. We have to understand how we do our science and how to interpret it. Amalgamating religion and science in the crucible of Scientific Studies doesn't help reduce the weight of challenges the nation in facing in 21st century. Science exists solely as a challenge to Ignorance and any effort to pave it with religion would defeat the forward march of civilization.
I'd recently heard in a lecture of a Scientific Society during my exploratory beat:
"In reality, obviously, science is something we should all embrace. We study the natural world so that we can understand it and often, use it to our presumed advantage. Tracing the path of this understanding nourishes important analysis and critical thinking skills, grounded in an evidence base and the concept of testable hypotheses, questions you can ask that experimental results can answer. Treating what lies beyond the natural world as having a place at the table in science education is just as false as casting the two as head-to-head adversaries. Obviously, in our multicultural democracy, no one conception of faith, spirituality, or belief has right-of-way in taxpayer-funded education. And when our students learn about how the natural world works, the only concepts that should have the right-of-way are evidence-based findings, established theories and laws, and testable hypotheses. If people don't learn that testability and evidence are essential features of science, they won't understand whether it's science they're being sold because they won't have a good understanding of what science is." End of quote
The great scientific spirit generated and bequeathed by our beloved Prime Minister Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru took us to great strides in Space, Nuclear horizons and Agriculture. The vision and courage of Priya Darshni Indra Gandhi and Rajeeve Gandhi gave us Pokhran and Computer.
Their visions were de-linked from any mythology and ideology. Those were based on pure science. We can't make our scientific education a prisoner of religion. We can't move forward if won't dispense with the prejudices of caste, class, region and religion. Scientific education is the only weapon where the crusade of nation progress begins, not in the saffron hue of past clouds.

Since Gaby turned the big 5, her attitude has suddenly changed SO much – she's almost acting like a hormonal teenager, which terrifies me.. I didn't think I'd have to deal with this sort of behavior for another few years. She just doesn't listen, and when she does listen, she will reply with a grunt or a sigh or a roll of the eyes. I think part of it is that she's tired – but if she goes to sleep any earlier, she will be missing dinner… She is in bed at 7pm every night!
It's funny seeing them growing up, becoming their own people – and becoming nice and headstrong. That is what I try to remind myself: she's learning to be her own person, learning to stand up for herself. She's figuring out what she likes and doesn't like… I just wish she would do it in a way that was more smiley and laughy and non-eye-rolley!
At the same time though, she's also becoming one fantastic little kid, still so sweet with her little sister, so caring… Her personality is definitely shining through, particularly her sense of humor. She definitely has my side of the family's sense of humor, which is a good thing (I think). She thought she was hilarious the other day when she said to her little friend Belle "hey Belle – can I ring your bell?" I had to laugh, because it was kind of funny.
I'm so proud of her as far as school goes – learning to read and write and spell, doing all the things 'big kids' do. I wasn't sure I was ready for a 'big kid,' but I can tell already that we're entering a fantastic new phase in her life, and I really cannot wait to watch her blossom – intellectually and personally!

Energy Update ~ Diamond Light Code Activations & Precision Frequencies
By Lisa Brown, 07/14/2016
Today's Diamond Light Code Activations & Precision Frequencies .... <3
Aloha beautiful light family,
A HUGE night of template re-adjustments, clearing and activating new.... awakening to StarGate Activity again (wow at how often & how much now!) to then shift to solar flare (heart opening), gamma lasers that super-charge our particles/cells/lightbody & scatter particles/energy of all. Heart openings, expansion and anything that needs to be triggered to occur/come up/become visible/dealt with, while the most amazing cellular cleansings, beautiful tears of release of whatever.... to raise the vibration of all.
There comes a point where sacred gratitude is what opens your heart. Sacred appreciation, immense love/connection from within, and we don't hold the need/energy for the lower vibrations to get us to open up. Until that time (vibration), then what was suppressed/tucked deep inside, all of that is what's coming up... it is the point... for this is what represented our SEPARATION from SELF AS SOURCE....
As each releases separation consciousness energy from inside, there is an entire process that occurs... the heart/soul becomes whole again, and all aspects that were "lost"/separated off are re-called/return... for merging... integration... and unification occurs. Peace, joy, bliss, magic and the most profound sacred connection that cannot be explained through human words......
Anything in our own physical reality that represents separation, lack, less... any emotion or thought, or physical thing... everything is affected by these higher vibrations that are for the purposes of bringing forth MORE LOVE, MORE PEACE, MORE UNITY, MORE PURITY .... in absolutely everything....
Gamma solar winds and lasers.... both are present right now. These charge and scatter, while they soften and weave light through all. These hit the nervous system for upgrading, target the cells, the pineal gland, the heart and spine.... Charging and weaving.... some may feel to sleep as the heart & mind open/relax to raise in frequencies and let go..... Others go into "more energy mode" and some go into "overload" if care for the body/mind are not honored first.....
Hearts are opening loves............ everywhere in every way.... Cells are activating/opening......... We are back to rocking & rolling mega-cosmic upgrades!
Honor you and your process and OPEN TOTALLY UP. WELCOME the NEW that continually comes forth..... embrace it all, see it, know it..... see your own distortions, see where you put your own energy, see what you are creating and see what is ready to go... that you don't need anymore..... I love you! ♥
Lisa Transcendence Brown ☼

By Jeff Praught | Dugout Chatter
Good heavens, this is a good time to be a sports fan. Every single day, there is an exciting new event popping up on our television screens. We are seeing so many new feats and new teams vying for titles that it is almost impossible to know where to begin.
American Pharoah wins Triple Crown
I am not a big fan of horse racing, but like much of America, I was glued to the television on June 6 when the horse with the misspelled name won the Belmont Stakes by over five lengths, capturing the sport's first Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1977. I do appreciate history, and American Pharoah managed to pull off the feat that 13 horses had tried to accomplish over the last 36 years.
Because several horses had nailed down the first two legs of the Triple Crown in recent years (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes), yet failed to win the Belmont, there had been chatter surrounding the sport that the three races should be spread out more, instead of being run within five weeks. The thinking was that increased rest would make winning the Belmont easier.
But winning that prestigious honor is supposed to be difficult. American Pharoah was the only horse in the Belmont field that had run both the Derby and the Preakness. And to win wire-to-wire was just thoroughly impressive.
The horse's next stop just may be in Del Mar during this summer season.
NBA finals
I have not watched the NBA regularly in 10 years. I am not going to anoint myself as a die-hard Warriors fan or anything. But I am watching every game this year because this finals series is truly compelling. The Warriors were the class of the league this year, behind MVP Stephen Curry, who can seemingly hit three-pointers while falling over sideways, blindfolded and holding his child. Golden State had not been to the finals since 1975.
The "Dubs" are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James. There, we have a city that has not won a championship of any kind since the 1964 Browns of professional football. Lebron is the most polarizing player in the league. You either love his remarkable talent, or you loathe his words and actions, such as his public spurning of his hometown Cleveland when he left as a free agent in a made-for-television announcement called "The Decision."
Back home in Cleveland, his fans are not burning his jersey anymore. In fact, they are watching him score 40 points per game through the first three exhilarating contests, despite having a shaky cast of teammates to support him. Both cities deserve to win.
NHL playoffs
As much as I love football and baseball, I cannot think of any better playoff atmosphere than a game seven of the National Hockey League playoffs. We have had some beauties again this year, and once again, a new team is fighting for a title: the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Squaring off against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Lightning were fortunate to gain a split after being dominated in the first two games. Then they bounced back from a brief deficit with a stunning rally to capture game three. There really is no such thing as momentum in this series and I would be shocked if it did not go the full seven games. Please, keep playing. And as a Red Wings fan, please do not let Chicago win.
Other tidbits
- Serena Williams just continues to amaze. It was not easy, but perhaps the best player of our lifetime won the French Open to capture her 20th career Grand Slam title. At age 33, she has a real chance to pass Steffi Graf (second, with 22 titles) and maybe even Margaret Court (24 titles) on the all-time list. Williams has won three Grand Slam titles in a row (dating back to 2014), including the Australian and French Opens this year. Up next: Wimbledon.
- Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals is just stupid-good at what he does. He hit his 20th home run of the season on June 9 at Yankee Stadium. The kid is probably going to be the MVP of the National League this year, and if he is not crushing baseballs, he is making highlight reel plays in the outfield.
- The San Diego Padres have been slogging along at .500 this year, but that is about to change. This team leads the majors in most games played against .500-or-better teams and has held its own despite the pitching not living up to expectations. The schedule gets easier over the next two months and I could see a 30-20 type of run coming that catapults them atop the playoff race.
- The San Francisco Giants are not a hate-able franchise like the Dodgers. San Diegans cannot help but be happy for manager Bruce Bochy's success by the Bay. But after watching rookie Chris Heston twirl a no-hitter on June 9, everyone has to wonder what is in the water up north? Does any team really deserve to throw a no-hitter in four straight years and five of the last seven? And three titles in five years? It is time to share the wealth. How about one down our way this year?
- Congratulations to the Urban MO's Ball Hawks flag football team, who upended the Uptown Tavern Storm 38-35 in SDAFFL's A Division title game on June 6. Hats off also to the Babycakes Honeybadgers, who took down Rich's Hitmen 20-13 in the B Division championship.
- Good luck to members of the top teams in AFCSL's D Division, who will be battling out the next two weeks in an intense fight atop the softball standings. Each of the division's top teams play each other, with the top team earning a bid to the World Series and the 2-4 seeds advancing to a playoff, where one more team will earn a berth to Columbus, Ohio, in August.

Tara Rocks through to semi-finals
A 54th-minute Niall Breen penalty finally killed off the stubborn challenge of Rapparees as Tara Rocks came out on top in a hard-fought Enniscorthy Electrical Wholesale Junior hurling championship quarter-final in Oylegate on Saturday.
Tara Rocks 2-15 Rapparees 1-13
At that stage the Enniscorthy outfit had clawed their way back to within a point of their opponents (1-14 to 1-13), but the penalty completely knocked the wind out of their sails and Tara Rocks comfortably kept them at arm's length for the remaining minutes.
The north county side were 1-11 to 1-5 ahead at half-time with the Breens to the fore, Niall superbly striking over four booming long-range points, with Declan converting five placed balls from closer in.
However, it wasn't all about the Breen machine, with full-forward Brendan Hobbs scoring a point and a goal in quick succession, while Liam Fitzpatrick ghosted forward from his half-back berth to fire over a point.
Hobbs' goal came in the 13th minute when the number 14 raced on to a pass by Paddy Phelan and clinically finished past Rapparees goalkeeper Gary Murphy, and two minutes later Fitzpatrick fired over to make it 1-7 to 0-3.
Up to that point Rapparees had been reliant on placed balls for their scores but they got the boost they needed in the 18th minute when Tom Ryan kept his composure after losing his footing to find the back of the net.
Ed Tobin and Joe Cullen both split the posts for the Rapps before the interval but Niall and Declan Breen showed unerring accuracy from frees to give Tara Rocks a six-point advantage at half-time.
Rapparees enjoyed a real purple patch in the third quarter with Barry Nolan in particular finding the range from frees and play, and when substitute Lee Murphy slotted over a point on 50 minutes there was only one between the sides.
However, two minutes later they suffered a real sucker-punch when Brendan Hobbs was adjudged to have been fouled as he bore down on goal and Niall Breen blasted the penalty to the net.
After that blow a deflated Rapparees side had no more to give and Declan Breen rounded off the scoring for the Rocks with an injury-time free.
Tara Rocks: Lee Owley; Damien Tobin, Tomás Owley, Seán Owley; Liam Fitzpatrick (0-1), Colin Breen, Rhys Owley; Niall Breen (1-6, 0-4 frees, 1-0 pen.), Declan Breen (0-7 frees); Craig Kenny, Joe Bolger, Martin Sheehan; Paddy Phelan, Brendan Hobbs (1-1), Michael Fitzpatrick. Subs. - Aaron Murphy for Phelan, Cormac Whitmore for M. Fitzpatrick.
Rapparees: Gary Murphy; Joe Carley, John Ryan, John Barron; Dillon Redmond, Mark Redmond, Ryan Hadley; Tommy Foley (0-1), Patrick O'Shea; Ed Tobin (0-1), Joe Cullen (0-2), Barry Nolan (0-7, 4 frees); Anthony Peare, Tom Ryan (1-0), Caolan Carty (0-1 free). Subs. - Seánie O'Gorman for Peare, Liam Boland for J. Ryan, Brendan Kearney for M. Redmond, Lee Murphy (0-1) for Carty, Patrick Hore for T. Ryan.
Referee: Bob Treacy (Clongeen).

An Asian Wedding Show in Nelson's ACE Centre proved a big hit – hundreds of people went along to it.
There were a whole range of wedding stalls, lively entertaining, great models staging in Asian wedding uniforms, wedding photography samples and some decent food, too – including lovely cakes. Nelson's born and bred singer Kiran Khan was on stage and she was very impressive, and there was pianist Bobby Bollywood, too. Bradford firm DK Weddings provided the stage.
And organiser Ruksana Kauser said: "There were hundreds of people who attended. It let them see the potential of the ACE Centre.
"There were a whole series of stalls wedding-based. We had people significantly come along because they plan to have a wedding next year. "The stallholders were very happy with it all. We had six models, all from the Pendle area. We had a great response from people.
"It was good to have people from the whole community at the Asian Wedding Show – it brought the whole community together. It was fantastic overall – a brilliant day!"
And there are plans to hold the event again at The ACE in Cross Street next year thanks to its success this time.

Influence of the parallel nonlinearity on zonal flows and heat transport in global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations
In this paper, the influence of the parallel nonlinearity on zonal flows and heat transport in global particle-in-cell ion-temperature-gradient simulations is studied. Although this term is in theory orders of magnitude smaller than the others, several authors [L. Villard, P. Angelino, A. Bottino , Plasma Phys. Contr. Fusion 46, B51 (2004); L. Villard, S. J. Allfrey, A. Bottino , Nucl. Fusion 44, 172 (2004); J. C. Kniep, J. N. G. Leboeuf, and V. C. Decyck, Comput. Phys. Commun. 164, 98 (2004); J. Candy, R. E. Waltz, S. E. Parker , Phys. Plasmas 13, 074501 (2006)] found different results on its role. The study is performed using the global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell codes TORB (theta-pinch) [R. Hatzky, T. M. Tran, A. Koumlnies , Phys. Plasmas 9, 898 (2002)] and ORB5 (tokamak geometry) [S. Jolliet, A. Bottino, P. Angelino , Comput. Phys. Commun. 177, 409 (2007)]. In particular, it is demonstrated that the parallel nonlinearity, while important for energy conservation, affects the zonal electric field only if the simulation is noise dominated. When a proper convergence is reached, the influence of parallel nonlinearity on the zonal electric field, if any, is shown to be small for both the cases of decaying and driven turbulence.

The purpose of these guidelines is:-to give recommendations on how to introduce precision statements into an International Standard which specifies a test method for paints, varnishes, related materials and coatings derived from them; - to outline the general principles to be applied when assessing precision in order to establish the procedures which will enable a quantitative estimate to be made;- to outline the general principles under which interlaboratory trials should be conducted. These guidelines may be applied to paints, varnishes and related products, to their raw materials in solid, liquid or powder form and to coatings derived from them. The guidelines are concerned only with test methods which operate on a continuous scale to yield a single numerical figure as the test result. However, this single figure may be the outcome of a calculation from a set of measurements. The distribution of test results is required to be unimodal and is assumed to be normal. With non-Gaussian distributions other evaluation procedures will be necessary.

The student pilot was undertaking a solo flight from Long Marston to Croft Farm. He was landing on Runway 09 with a light and variable crosswind from the south. The aircraft bounced on landing and veered to the left. He elected to go around to avoid a runway edge marker and applied full power. The aircraft struck a hedge a few metres from the runway and came to rest in the adjacent field. The student pilot, who was uninjured, attributed the accident to having insufficient speed for a go-around.

The Cinque Terre consists of five beautiful hillside towns (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso) on the west coast of Italy. This area is extremely picturesque and shouldn't be missed. However, it is also a bit expensive. There are only a few hostels and most accommodations and sit down meals are pricey. Fortunately, with such breathtaking scenery, you will be able to find plenty of nature walks, trails, exploring, and vineyards in the surrounding areas that make it possible to visit on a budget if you stick to these free activities and the cheap food. This part of Italy is probably my favorite, and during the summertime, there is nowhere else I'd rather be!
Typical Costs
Hostel prices – You should expect to pay around 20-25 EUR a night for a 4-6 bed dorm room and around 50 EUR for a private room. The price usually includes free WiFi and linens. The region isn't cheap, and there are only a couple of hostels between the five towns (Hostel 5 Terre in Manarolo is the biggest). If you want to find more hostel options, you need to stay in nearby La Spezia.
Budget hotel prices – A night in a 2-star budget hotel in a room that sleeps two starts around 60 EUR (expect to pay 20 EUR more in the high season). Included in this price are basic hotel amenities, like a private bathroom, free WiFi, and television. Some offer free breakfast. For the most options, stay in Monterosso. On Airbnb, you can find shared rooms starting around 25 EUR per night and entire apartments starting around 55 EUR per night.
Average cost of food – Cinque Terre is an expensive place to eat. Generally, restaurant meals cost between 25-35 EUR for a meal with drinks. Most restaurants open for lunch, close for their siesta, then open again around 7pm for dinner. At most restaurants, add 3 EUR for the "coperto" (sit down fee) that covers service and the bread at the table. You can get cheap wine at the store for around 5 EUR a bottle and pizza, paninis, or my favorite focaccia for 4 EUR, and a whole pizza for 12 EUR. With these kinds of amazing local ingredients to work with, a picnic on the coast is one of my favorite ways to eat in the region. If you're feeling ambitious and staying somewhere with a kitchen, consider cooking your own food. You'll pay about 60 EUR per week for groceries that will include pasta, vegetables, chicken, and other basic foods. If you find a discount grocer like Eurospin, In's Mercato, LD Market, Lidl or Penny Market, you'll pay a lot less.
Transportation costs – Cinque Terre has several ways to get around. There is a system of walking and hiking trails that connect all of the towns that are my first choice – trails vary in difficulty, so bring your sturdy shoes! A train also link the towns. If you're going between all five, purchase a Cinque Terre Card (17 EUR for the day). This card grants unlimited access to the trains, buses, and the footpath that connects the villages for a day. I love to hike between the five towns, and then take the train back to my accommodation for a rest! If you decide to ride the train, make sure you get a ticket because they are serious about checking and give hefty fines.
Suggested daily budget – 50-70 EUR / $60-80 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you're staying in a hostel, eating and cooking, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. If you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more, expect this to be higher!)
Money Saving Tips
- Hike the area – The hiking trails are the best and cheapest way to see the area.
- Eat the pizza and paninis – Sit-down meals in this region are very expensive. Stick to cheap sandwiches and pizza if you want to save money. Picnics from grocery stores in town made up of fresh pesto, cheese, and focaccia is the way to go! (Though, the food is really good here so do try and splurge on a restaurant meal at least once – anchovies and pesto are the local specialties.)
- Get the Cinque Terre Card – You'll get access to all the hiking trails, shuttle buses, and WiFi for about 8 EUR per day. You also can get the Cinque Terre Train Card, which includes all of the same perks with unlimited train travel around Cinque Terre for 17 EUR per day.
- Pass on the bread – Some restaurants will charge you extra for bread or breadsticks on the table but not tell you about it until the check comes, and you've polished it off. Send it back if you don't want to be tempted.
- Buy lots of wine – You can buy a great bottle of wine for 4 EUR. It's a lot cheaper than drinking at the bars in this area (which are pretty expensive).
Top Things to See and Do in Cinque Terre
- Hike the Cinque Terre – Any traveler or local will tell you that you must hike the Cinque Terre in order to really appreciate the area. In fact, most people come to the Cinque Terre to go hiking. The views are amazing and simply can't be described until you see them yourself. The coastal walk (the blue trail) is the easiest path and the best way to see the towns. If you want something more difficult, walk the red path through the steep hills and vineyards. (Path #8 is the most difficult.) Get access to all the hiking trails, shuttle buses, and WiFi for about 8 EUR per day with the Cinque Terre card.
- Go swimming – The water is so blue that you will just want to jump in. The cool waters also attract the locals, especially the children who like to jump off of the nearby rocks. During Italian holidays, the beach areas get very crowded.
- Rent a kayak – Being on the water makes the cliffs more dramatic, the colors more intense, and the water a deeper shade of blue. It's a very different way to see the five towns. Rentals start at 5 EUR per hour.
- Visit Torre Guardiola – This is a bird watching center and nature observation center located just southeast of Riomaggiore marina on Fossola Beach. There is quite a bit of local flora and fauna to be seen here, as well as lots of pretty birds flying about. There is a beautiful trail that leads down to the coast from the center which ends at a great swimming spot. Admission is 1.50 EUR. It's open 9am-1pm and 4pm-7pm (except August). It's also closed during winter.
- Have an authentic Ligurian beach picnic – Grab yourself a basket and shop around town for some local goodies. There are some great little restaurants the serve fresh, hot focaccia and plenty of cheap local wines available. After that head to one of the beaches, where you can eat, swim, and be merry.
- Check out Chiesa di Santa Margherita – This is a picturesque harbor with a waterfront piazza that makes a great spot for people-watching and for taking a break. The gothic church, Santa Margherita di Antiochia can also be found here. Originally built in 1318, it has a bell tower that is still intact.
- See the Nativity in Manarola – If you happen to be visiting between December 8th and the end of January, this scene is worth a quick visit. The Nativity Manarola is the world's biggest lighted nativity scene, and their opening ceremony is a big event. Many locals come out and light candles.
- Go camping – The spring through early fall is a beautiful time of year to go camping here, and bookings tend to fill up quickly. There are a few campgrounds to choose from that offer inexpensive tent set-ups, which include beds and linens. Camping Aqua Dolce is a hotspot near town, but also very close to the beach.
- Have a seafood dinner – You won't find any fresher seafood than from a restaurant overlooking the water. It may be expensive, but it's worth a splurge at least once. Try the prawns!
- Explore castle ruins – In Monterosso, you can visit the ruins of a 16th-century castle built as a defense system after a Saracen attack. The ruins lie near the cemetery on San Cristoforo Hill.
- Visit the churches – Every town along the Cinque Terre has its own collection of churches which vary in age and architectural style. Take a peek inside the Church of San Lorenzo (Manarola), Santa Margherita di Antiochia Church (Vernazza), or San Pietro (Corniglia).
- Learn about Italian naval history – The Technical Naval Museum is located in La Spezia. The collection takes up two levels and contains a lot of information and artifacts from the province's naval history and naval warfare. Admission is 1.50 EUR and it's open daily from 9am-7:30pm.

They say everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, so an Arab leprechaun should fit right in, especially along the Las Vegas Strip.
Brian Thomas, a little person who has been the goodwill ambassador for O'Sheas Casino for the last 10 years, will lead two parades Thursday through the Linq promenade.
Thomas, dressed in the green suit he has worn for countless thousands of photos, will be hoisted high on a green velvet throne carried by a group of muscled hunks, whose bodies will be painted green.
The first parade kicks off at noon at the Las Vegas Boulevard end of the pedestrian mall. The procession will head east through the retail and entertainment district toward the High Roller.
Bagpipers, stilt walkers and other faux leprechauns will join in the fun. The parade will repeat at 6 p.m. followed by a troupe of Irish dancers.
Throughout the promenade, various merchants will be offering St. Paddy's Day specials.
Sprinkles will be serving specially-flavored cupcakes, including Green Velvet and a chocolate treat infused with Bailey's Irish Cream. Vendors will be selling Guinness stout and Jameson Irish whiskey from stalls along the way.
At O'Sheas, partiers will toast not only Ireland's patron saint, but Thomas' 10th anniversary as ambassador as well.
In February, 2006, he left a Cirque du Soleil show to join O'Sheas as its colorful barker. Executives of Harrah's Entertainment, now Caesars Entertainment, recruited him for St. Patrick's Day.
And no, he's not Irish either.
"Far from it," he said with a chuckle. "I'm an Arab. My grandparents are from Lebanon and Egypt. [But] I play [the leprechaun] well."

Black Bear Energy Teams With Four Anheuser-Busch Distributors in Maine
Bethel, Maine (July 12, 2012) — Black Bear Energy, LLC. is proud to announce that they have entered into distribution agreements with four Anheuser-Busch distributors in the state of Maine for the launch of its energy drink, 500X. National Distributors of South Portland, Valley Distributors of Oakland, Federal Distributors of Lewiston, and Maine Distribution of Bangor have all incorporated 500X into their expansive and well developed product portfolios.
"We are very pleased to be working with such a distinct group of companies, each having extensive experience in our home state market. We believe these partnerships will bring added value to all involved and provide Black Bear Energy the distribution channels required to successfully launch 500X to our consumer base here in Maine," stated Ed Yasko, Co-Founder of Black Bear Energy, LLC.
Eric Howard, Valley's brand manager for non-alcoholic beverages said in a recent statement, "The team at Valley is very excited to support the healthy alternative, right here in our backyard of Maine. We are very optimistic about the newly formed relationship with Black Bear Energy!"
Following the initial roll-out, 500X should be available in approximately 1,200 retail locations across Maine. Rather than relying on stimulants such as caffeine and sugar, 500X packs a heavy dose of B-12, a natural and sustainable form of energy.

It's the second cycling film conceived and directed by the veteran bike racer, and like Paolinetti's first film The Hard Road, it gives viewers an up-close look at pro bike racing through the eyes of the men (in this case) who race at the top level of the sport.
A little background: Paolinetti raced for 14 years in the United States and internationally against some of the biggest names in the sport. He retired at age 30 in 1994, after his fourth season racing for the Chevrolet/L.A. Sheriffs team. Bobby Julich, who features prominently in Pro, is a former teammate on the L.A. Sheriffs squad.
After retiring, Paolinetti studied filmmaking at UCLA, eventually setting up his own production company. In 1997, he un-retired to race for a few seasons with the Los Angeles-based Netzero team as a rider/coach.
Netzero's 2001 season was the subject of The Hard Road -- offering an unflinching look into the decidedly unglamorous lives of pro bike racers on the U.S. domestic circuit.
The new film, Pro, comes at the sport from another angle, going to the very top of the U.S. scene. The centerpiece of the film is the 2004 Wachovia U.S. Pro Championship race in downtown Philadelphia.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2004, the U.S. Pro Championship is the longest-running and richest single-day bike race in the United States, and the most prestigious race on U.S. soil. (The inaugural race in 1985 was won by Olympic speed skater/cyclist Eric Heiden.)
The brutal 156-mile circuit race challenges the fitness of even the top cyclists in the sport, and features 10 climbs up the notorious and grueling "Manayunk Wall." Although it draws an international field, the race is a showcase for top U.S. talent, as the first American across the line is crowned U.S. Pro Champion.
No doubt utilizing his extensive connections in U.S. bike racing, Paolinetti and director of photography Alec Boehm put the camera in the center of the action, focusing on riders as they nervously mill about before the race, gather for team chalk talks in hotel rooms, and ultimately battle it out on the road.
Unlike The Hard Road, which focused on the personalities and struggles of a relatively small team, Pro highlights a host of big-name riders familiar to anyone who follows U.S. bike racing: from defending U.S. Pro Champ Mark McCormack and powerhouse Chris Horner to Euro-pros Fred Rodriguez and Bobby Julich; from veterans like John Lieswyn and Jonas Carney to younger pros like U.S. Postal rider Mike Creed (who although he's 23 is deceptively seasoned, having raced as a pro since his teens).
The film's timeline follows the teams through the weeklong series of races culminating with the U.S. Pro Championships and also including the Wachovia Invitational in Lancaster, Pa., and the Wachovia Classic in Trenton, N.J.
Full of tons of pristine digitally shot bike-racing footage, Pro is also interspersed with many interviews and profiles of individual riders like Julich, Horner, Saunders and Aussie Henk Vogels, offering insights into what motivates and drives them to compete at the top level, as well as offering a primer on bike racing strategy and team tactics.
It's a detailed and engaging film, a must-see for any cycling fan. If Pro has a weakness, it may be a little too "pro" for viewers unfamiliar with bike racing's unique arcana or its pantheon of current stars.
Fans of the sport will recognize most everyone, but others may find it hard to keep track of who's who, since no riders are identified -- even in interview segments -- by on-screen titles.
Still, the film succeeds in allowing cycling fans to mingle with the sport's top athletes and vicariously pick their brains, while at the same time putting you in the best possible seat to see some hard-fought racing action.

First thing I notice is controller off time and at default settings, 10 min a zone every day. I check all zones and all heads and reprogram controller. I billed her 75.00 What would you charge? It's not like I was next door, at least 20 min drive time one way. Long time customer and an old system I didn't install.
