Fueling Up for Faster Runs and Recovery
SPONSORED by FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT
One thing I forgot about as I started training was how hungry I would constantly be. This might not sound like a problem, but when you live with a boy who can swallow an entire cheese pizza as if it was the last source of carbs on the planet, it's easy to cuddle up on the couch and go overboard on the junk.
Rather than wait until my stomach started growling after a long run, I decided to stock up ahead of time at the grocery store so that when a hunger strike did hit, I was ready with foods that would help me recover from runs, rather than make me feel sluggish and just plain gross.
I always knew the basic foods runners should eat, things like peanut butter (no problem there!), bananas, and protein, like fish and beef, but I had yet to discover another superfood–grapefruit. It's National Grapefruit Month, so my curiosity was peaked. But confession time: Until I did some research on grapefruit I had never eaten one. Weird, I know. But after some reading I found that not only does the citrus fruit help your skin, it actually curbs hunger, meaning when that pizza binge session is happening on my couch, I can look the other way without wanting to duke it out for the last slice.

Gearing Up to Run
Two more days to go! Hope you are all ready for the big day. It's crazy how fast time flies! Just 10 short weeks ago I was only running two to three miles and now I am gearing up to run 13. I am so proud of myself for getting this far. All that's left to do is cross that finish line!
This past week's training has been pretty low-key. I only ran and did some core work on Tuesday, and have decided to give myself the rest of the week off. I want to let me body repair itself so that I am in tip-top condition on Sunday morning! I have also been incorporating more carbs into my diet these past couple of days (loading up!) so that I can store some much needed energy. Instead of eating two servings of carbs a day like Stephanie Middleberg, my nutritionist, had me doing in the beginning of my training, I am now eating around three servings of carbs a day. Bring on the pasta baby! What are you planning on having for your pre-race dinner?
Before 8 a.m. on Sunday (race time), be sure to check out the expo, where you have to pick up your race number, as well as plenty of other fun goodies! I'll be working in the Digital Lounge, where you can check out the new Fitness iPad app, tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Feel free to stop by! I would love to meet you.
Best of luck to all participating on Sunday!

The Final Race Countdown
The big day is quickly approaching. Are you getting excited, nervous? Are you ready?
My adrenaline high after the NYC Half-Marathon gave me such an energized start to the week! I was sore, but did not feel any pain. I took fours days off from all exercise and focused on stretching and trying to rest. Then on Thursday, I ran five miles and felt tired and tight. So I listened to my body and decided not to push it over the weekend. I ran seven miles and felt OK. I didn't want to overdo it and also wanted to conserve my energy for the upcoming race!
This week I plan on doing a few short runs, stretching and a working in a bit of cross-training. And I'm of course looking forward to the carb loading!
As I've mentioned before, in regards to weather, I've had back luck with the More/Fitness Half-Marathon! In 2009 it was a balmy 95 degrees, while 2010′s race was on the other end of the spectrum: it poured and was very chilly. I already checked out the weather forecast and am thrilled to see that "perfect running" weather is predicted. I'm not 100 percent confident (as we know, these things change a million times and frequently aren't accurate). However, I'm trained and ready! Rain or shine, I am committed and I am ready to rock this race.
I know that those of you who have been following along with the training program will too. You've trained hard, so enjoy every minute. You deserve it!

I had read through several other posts on how to connect from Office 2013/365 but couldn't get it to receive messages even though the test function worked.
This article explained that I needed to configure the INBOX as the root folder which I did and then emails were received. This info should be added to your other articles on connecting with Outlook to Office 2013/365.

I am running Windows 8, Office 365, and Outlook 2013 with IMAP folders on an HP Pavilion 23 desktop. Periodically, and without warning or explanation, Outlook stops receiving my emails. I recently received an email from a client with several attachment,s and I got a message saying my inbox was nearly full (which it wasn't). Ii can receive the emails on my iphone and and an imac, and I can send test messages to myself from my desktop (but I can't receive them on the desktop). I tried several of the other suggestions - looking for updates (they weren't there), adding INBOX to the root folder in settings, and virtually emptying my inbox, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Hello Randy, and thanks for your comment.
Did you get the message about your Inbox nearly being full in your Outlook mail client itself, or did you receive this in an email?
It sounds like there could possibly be an email with an attachment still on the server-side that is causing your IMAP client to be unable to synchronize new messages.
I would recommend trying to login to webmail directly in your web-browser to see if there are any messages on the server that your Outlook client hasn't synced yet.
If you are still having issues even after ensuring the server-side is clear, you might want to try re-creating the IMAP account in Outlook to let it attempt to resync all messages on the account once again, as your Outlook user profile might have become corrupt at some point and now it's lost its place in terms of what messages it should sync next from the server.
Please let us know if you're still running into issues.

Hi Jacob,
I received the message about the full Inbox as an email on my iphone. I followed your suggestion and think I found the culprit: the message with several attachments still was in my webmail folder, but it had a line through it (I had deleted it from my iphone). Once I deleted it from the server, Outlook opened up and I received a day's worth of emails. Not sure why this happens, but maybe this is a way to deal with it until someone comes up with a better system.

Hello again Randy,
Glad to hear that worked for you. I've encountered that myself as well, and logging into webmail is typically how you have to deal with rogue messages that are stopping one IMAP client from syncing new messages.
You might want to try setting an option for When I delete a message to Remove it from server immediately on your iPhone if available. In some cases I've seen IMAP clients use Just mark it as deleted and this can sometimes cause it to retain on the server and then mess up the synchronization of other IMAP clients.
Thanks for coming back and letting us know the work-a-round worked so if others encounter this same problem it might help them out!

Champagne Fever pops his maiden tag
Champagne Fever soars over a hurdle at Cork
(Healy Racing Photos)
The 1/8 favourite was making his hurdling debut after a campaign last season that saw him win the Cheltenham and Punchestown bumpers.
The soft ground was no bother to him as he hacked up by five lengths with Paul Townend virtually motionless after jumping the last.
Anduknowhat won the race for second at 14/1 for John Walsh and Mark Enright, four and three parts ahead of Ardboe Abbey (12/1).
Harold Kirk, representing Willie Mullins, commented: "It's nice to get that out of the way. The late start was a bit nerve-wracking.
"He jumped very big, but that's to be expected as he has been point-to-pointing.He has a very high cruising speed and that was a very pleasing effort."
Willie Mullins, who is at Punchestown today, added: "He did nothing wrong. He jumped big and he wasn't helped by all the messing at the start. He'll keep at hurdling."
<Champagne Fever is 12/1 from 14/1 for the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham with bookmaker Stan James.

Many Happy Returns, Again
I surprised Sherlock Holmes today. That sounds like something that should be impossible, but it wasn't. I didn't even make an effort. Would you believe the man who can rattle off a list of every serial killer ever active in Britain forgot his own birthday?
I went round to Baker Street today after work with a cake Mary baked and found Sherlock scouring his messages for exciting cases. He looked like he hadn't been expecting me, and as it turned out he hadn't. He asked me why I had a cake and I said happy birthday. Then we spent a couple of minutes arguing over whether or not it was really January 6th. It was one of the few arguments we've had that I've actually won.
Anyway after cake we played Jenga and he beat me at it. That's not the sort of game that has rules you can bend easily, so he couldn't cheat, but he spent a long time analysing the tower of blocks to figure out which one to pull whenever it was his turn. He seemed to be having fun, though, and that's what matters.
I'm home now, and because Sherlock's had a lot on his plate lately and I want his inbox to be filled with something other than thefts and murders, I'm sharing this with the whole world: Happy Birthday, Sherlock Holmes.

The Past Three Days
I can't even begin to describe the past three days.
I don't need to tell you what happened – I know you all can read. We've had reporters from every paper you've ever heard of on our tails since the trial. Can't go outside without stepping on one. They all want a statement from Sherlock.
It was worst right after the verdict. Not because of the reporters, but because I had to take the Tube back and when I got there, he was pulling away from the curb. Moriarty. Just like that, casual as anything. Blew me a kiss as he drove by, I thought for sure I'd go upstairs and find Sherlock lying dead on the floor.
But he wasn't dead. I'm sure you knew that. A murder would really make the headlines. No, we've been keeping our heads down and plan to for a little while longer. At least, I do. Sherlock's already getting restless.
Tuesday was also the anniversary of the day we met, Sherlock and me. He remembered. I didn't. I suppose that's just how it goes.

The Falls of Reichenbach
It was a dark and stormy night.
… is how you all would like this story to begin, I'm sure. I know what you're after, all of you new readers and members of the press. Phone's been ringing off the hook since that article ran on Thursday.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you're here. Sherlock's been in a mood, but he's Sherlock. The reason this is all a bit strange to me is because I think this is one of the least interesting cases we've had in a while – it only concerns a stolen painting, and the last one I wrote up involved giant glowing hellhounds. Either way, welcome everyone. My hit counter is telling me there have certainly been a lot of you…
Before I forget…
The only really exciting thing that's happened in the past couple of weeks is Sherlock's started taking driving lessons.
I know. I can't believe it either.
He's getting them from Victor though so at least he's in good hands. They went out this afternoon and came back in one piece, which is reassuring.
Just thought I'd let you all know so you can steer clear of the streets.

Matt Bryant's field goal lifts Falcons over Seahawks, into NFC title game
Atlanta, GA, United States (4E Sports) – Matt Bryant delivered a 49-yard field goal in the dying seconds to carry the Atlanta Falcons to a 30-28 victory over the Seattle Seahawks and book a spot in the NFC championship game Sunday at Georgia Dome.
Bryant's heroic came after the Falcons squandered a 20-point fourth quarter lead when the Seahawks scored three consecutive touchdowns to take the lead with 31 seconds remaining.
Quarterback Matt Ryan led a three-play, 41-yard drive that led to Bryant's game-winning kick. He connected with Harry Douglas for a 22-yard gain and Tony Gonzalez had a 19-yard catch to set up field-goal position.
It was the Falcons first playoff victory under coach Mike Smith. They will host the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title showdown Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Ryan completed 24 of 35 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns but threw two interceptions while Bryant hit three field goals for the Falcons, who made it to the NFC championship game for only the third time in team history.
Ryan hit touchdown passes to Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez and Jason Snelling. White tallied 76 yards on five catches while Gonzalez had six catches for 56 yards.
Running back Michael Turner rushed for 98 yards on 14 carries and Jacquizz Rodgers added 64 yards on 10 rushes for the Falcons.
Russell Wilson hit 24 of 36 passes for 385 yards and two touchdowns for the Seahawks, who became the sixth team in the Super Bowl era to score 21 fourth-quarter points in a playoff loss.
Wilson also rushed for 60 yards on seven carries and a score while Marshawn Lynch added 46 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown for Seattle.
Tight end Zach Miller tallied 142 yards on eight catches and a touchdown and wide receiver Golden Tate added 103 yards on six receptions for the Seahawks.
Ryan hit two touchdown passes and Bryant buried two field goals in the first half to stake the Falcons to a 20-0 lead at the break.
In the third, Wilson finally found his range, hitting Tate for a 29-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 20-7.
However, Ryan hit Snelling with a five-yard touchdown throw for a 27-7 lead going into the fourth period.
In the fourth, Wilson sparked the Seahawks' 21-point outburst with a five-yard touchdown run and added a scoring pass to Miller. Lynch then capped the comeback with a two-yard run before Bryant delivered the game-winning kick.

Chapter Twenty One - Pain Is A Part Of Life0 Reviews
"You know like you thought Better Living had something to do with Acid disappearing? Well, I think we have an answer now."
Chapter Twenty One - Pain Is A Part Of Life
Lypse wondered what they'd done to Acid. He'd spent the whole night awake with Ella, she wouldn't stop crying, but she eventually cried herself to sleep.
"Pen, we've gotta get out of here." He wispered in Pen's ear.
Pen was extremely angry and she couldn't help but let it show when she answered Lypse. "No shit shirlock. I think this is the most shocked I've been in my whole life, Lypse, really I do. I mean, I just thought that we'd stay here and wait to get killed, but a plan to escape? Wow, I'd never thought of that before."
Her comment stung Lypse a little.
"Hey, what the fuck was that for?"
She sighed. "I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that. I'm just worried about Ace."
"We all are."
Ella had finally gone to sleep and Steph was still sleeping, too, so it was just the two of them.
"I'm just hoping that when they kill us, it'll be quick." She said calmly.
"How can you be so calm about this, Pen?"
"Because I'm trying not to think about it."
"How can you not think about it?"
"I can let myself think about it for second or two, then that's not long enough for me to freak about about it."
"That didn't answer my question."
"You want to know?"
He nodded.
"Well, our lives are probably going to be over soon, so I'm thinking about the good times, the people that I loved. The people who I'll see again when I'm dead . . . it really does help take your mind off of things."
"So you believe in heaven?"
"I believe that when someone dies, then whatever they want to happen after their gone happens, as long as they weren't a complete asshole in their life time. Like, if they want to go to heaven, then that's where they'll go and if they want to go to hell, then they'll go to hell."
"And if someone's an atheist?"
"Then there'll be nothing, at least, if that's what they truely want."
"I like that idea. I guess when I die, I'll see my family again."
Pen smiled sadly. "Then that'll happen."
Steph was awake and she'd heard everything they'd said. So, she decided to join in on the conversation.
"Why are you two talking about it like you're actually going to die?" Steph asked.
They both looked at the red haired girl. "Because we are. There's no getting out of this one, Steph. I don't see how we can get out of here. Even those two Dracs can hear everything we're talking about right now."
She pointed to the Dracs that were standing outside of their cell.
"We'll find a way. We have to, we're Killjoys for fuck sake! Since when did we ever give up, huh?"
"Steph, you're not a Killjoy, before we were captured, you didn't fight again BL/ind, you only hid from it just like me and Ella did. The only Killjoy that in this cell right now is Lypse."
"Well then you'd better make it two because I'm becoming a Killjoy. I'm sick of just waiting for someone to take down BL/ind again! I want to do something about it!"
"You can't become a Killjoy, Steph."
"Why the fuck not?"
"It's too dangerous for you, Steph. You don't know what they could do to you."
"I've seen it all before and I know how they can kill us. I want to do something about it. I don't want to just sit here and wait to die, that's not what I'm about."
"Me too!" Ella said. She'd heard the conversation, too, she just pretended to be sleeping.
"Ella, you especially can't become a Killjoy. You're only five!"
"I don't care! I'm a Killjoy now!" The little girl insisted. "I'm gonna be . . . Princess Kitty!" Ella started getting more excited.
"Ella, you're not going to be a Killjoy."
"It's too late now, I already have a Killjoy name! And it's not Ella anymore, it's Princess Kitty now, Pen!"
Pen rolled her eyes.
"I'll be . . . Angelic Devil. Devi for short." Steph said with a grin.
"I wanna be called Kitty for short!"
"Okay, so now that you're Killjoys, what are you going to do?" Lypse asked.
"Come up with a plan, duh." Steph, or Devi as she now wanted to be called, wispered to Lypse.
While Zack was watching t.v., his mother, Static, was sitting down with him when someone unexpected walked in.
"So, how's my sister doing?" Cherri asked with a smile on her face.
Static looked behind her and saw Cherri with Beautiful Lie, Attack and Hurricane.
"Cherri? Oh my god!"
Static got up and hugged her sister eagerly. It'd been a long time since she'd seen her sister.
"Fuck, how've you been? It's been too long!"
"I know, it's been pretty hectic lately. Acid's gone missing, Poison, Death and Ghoul are convinced that it's BL/ind."
"Shit, how's he doing?"
"He's actually not too bad, I think he's feels like he has to stay strong for Bandit."
"Do they have any proof that it's BL/ind?"
"No, but she's been missing for a few days now. She would've come back by now. Even though she's pissed with Poison, she wouldn't just leave Bandit, we know that for sure."
"Aaaaaaaah la la la la! " Zack complained with a frustrated look on his face.
Static looked over in her son's direction, the t.v. was still on, but it was no longer an old kids show that was on before BL/ind. It was... was that Acid?
"What the fuck?"
Acid was being forced to lie down on what looked like an operating table.
"Poison, get your ass in here!" Static shouted.
Poison didn't know what his brother's girlfriend wanted, but he came out of his room anyway. He was surprised to see Cherri there, he was about to ask her why she was there, but Static started talking before he could ask her anything.
"You know like you thought Better Living had something to do with Acid disappearing? Well, I think we have an answer now." She pointed to the screen and Poison saw his wife being pinned down.
He watched what was happening for a few minutes before he decided to finally speek.
"What the fuck are they doing to her? We need to go down there!"
"The date and time that this happened is in the corner of the screen. This was yesterday afternoon, all of this has already happened, Poison." Cherri pointed out.
The doctor grabbed one of the knives from the operating table and pressed the blade lightly against her skin.
"I'm not even going to be unconcious?" The words came out in a rush.
"No, you will be awake through out it." The doctor said to her.
The blade was pushed into her skin, making her scream. He dragged the blade down her arm. They could see the blood all over the doctor's coat.
The couldn't see what happened next, but they knew it must've been bad since Acid carried on screaming with tears streaming down her face.
Zack burst out crying at the sound of screaming, so Static scooped her son into her arms and took him to his crib. Static couldn't watch the torture they were putting her though anymore, so she stayed in her room with Zack.
Poison wanted to stop watching, but he couldn't move. Was this how his wife had died? Was she dead now or was this just torture?
They heard a snapping sound, which made Poison cringe, they knew it was one of her bones.
"STOP! PLEASE, STOP!" She begged and screamed with tears streaming down her face.
The doctor removed what looked like half of a bone.
"I-is that w-what I think it is? Is that her fucking bone?!" Screamed Ghoul.
"KILL ME! PLEASE, JUST KILL ME!" That was the breaking point for Poison. They'd tortured her that badly that she'd begged for death. They'd made her want to die after everything she'd over come. Poison wanted to puke, scream, cry, break and kill the heartless bastards who'd done this to her all at once.
They pulled out the other half the bone and they could see that they were putting something else in her arm, but the quality of the video wasn't good enough for them to see what it was clearly.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" Jet screamed from behind Poison.
That was when Acid passed out, but they couldn't tell if she'd passed out, if she'd died from shock or died of blood loss.
The screen went fuzzy until it finished.
They all stood there in silence. No one knew what to say. What could they say in a situation like this? 'I'm sorry your wife and the mother of your child was tortured and possibely even died? '
"Mom . . ." Grace barely wispered.
The silence was broken when they heard a humming noise coming from outside, it sounded like a motorbike and mostly Draculoids used bikes, so they knew that there was probably one coming to the diner.
Poison angrily stormed out and grabbed his lazer gun. His brother followed him, since he knew that after watching somthing like that he would probably do something stupid and that he would most likely regret later. Ghoul, Jet, Static and Lo followed Kobra into the destert to see what he was doing about his brother.
Poison saw the Draculoid on a motor bike outside of the diner and it started shooting at it.
Poison carefully aimed the gun at the Draculoid's wheel, making fall of the bike.
He ran towards it and he grabbed it by it's collar. He shot the Draculoud in it's knees, so it couldn't run off anywhere, and he let the animal inside him come out. He started violently beating the shit out of the Draculoid. It tried to fight back, but Poison was too strong for the Draculiod to even want to fight back against him.
Poison started kicking the Draculoid in the ribs. He could hear a cracking sound, most likely breaking it's ribs.
"POISON! STOP!" Kobra screamed, trying to pull his older brother away from the Draculoid.
"WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I? IT WORKS FOR THEM AND THEY FUCKING TORTURED HER! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE IT! LEXIA DIDN'T DESERVE IT!" He got tired so he stopped beating it and he fell to his knees, crying.
The Draculoid didn't even bother getting up. It just lay there, barely breathing.
"She didn't deserve it, Mikey. She was a good person."
"I know. It'll be okay."
Kobra hugged his brother as he cried. He already knew that they'd have to go to Better Living to see if Acid was even alive, so he started planning it in his head almost straight away.
"Get back in here! There's more! It's a message from Dr. Isoda!" Grace shouted from the diner.
Kobra looked at the Draculoid that his brother had just beaten. He knew that even if they wanted to help it, then they couldn't. He could see that there was too much damage done to it already, so he put it out of it's misery and he shot it in it's head.
They walked back in the diner and saw Dr. Isoda's face on the t.v. screen.
"Greetings, Killjoys. I am Dr. Isoda. You have just seen what we did to Alexandria Way and I would just like to tell you that we will not be so kind to the rest of you. When we find you, which we will do, then your deaths will be much slower and much more painful. Although, we already know that we will not have to do that for Jesseyca because of her illness." Radio's heart sped up. What Dr. Isoda going to tell them about her illness for her? She planned on telling them later that night.
"The children, Zack and Bandit, will either be given to couples in Battery City so that they will be raised to love and accept Better Living or one of them will become the new ruler of Better Living when I am no longer alive, I have not decided yet. As for Grace, we will have to exterminate her along with other Killjoys. I must leave now. The reason we filmed this video was to show you what your fate is. You will not be able to escape it like you have before, Killjoys. You can keep running, but we will catch you. Have a plesant day, Killjoys, for it could be your last."
The screen went black and the room was filled with the sound of silence.

Things get underway when boy racer McQueen (Wilson) is challenged to compete in the World Grand Prix by cocky Italian racer Francesco Bertoulli (a formula-one turn from John Turturro).
The tournament is sponsored by range-roving entrepreneur Miles Axelrod (Eddie Izzard) whose only demand is that all competitors use his revolutionary ultra-clean fuel Allinoil.
But no sooner does Team McQueen set tyre in Japan than trusty, rusty tow-truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) blunders into the midst of an undercover operation led by Caine's unflappable spy McMissile and his sporty assistant Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer).
A shady oil conglomerate is sabotaging the competition with a device that turns Allinoil into dynamite. So with racers being reduced to spare parts, Mater has no choice but to join the plucky Brits and stop the fossil-fuelled fiends before Lightning gets zapped.
Racing through Paris, Tokyo and a Tuscanised version of Monaco before the big finale in London, director Lasseter and his crew maintain – and occasionally surpass - Pixar's visual standards. Cars 2 positively gleams.


text: Hello and welcome. If you check my Professional background you will see that I have been a NJ Licensed Attorney since 1983. I am also a lifelong New Jersey resident and home owner, just like you. I experienced seven years of declines in the value of my home while during the same period my property tax assessment increased. The assesed value of your home is applied against an equalization ration established by the town and approved by the County annually. It did not seem right to have a realtor explain that my house was worth X while the town advised me that it was worth much more. I became my first tax appeal client, and friends and neighbors soon asked for assistance. In 2012 I decided to focus on property tax appeals and appeared in over 150 County Board Appeals in Ocean, Monmouth, Bergen and Morris Counties. In 2013 I expanded the property tax appeals practice even further into Passaic, Sussex and Middlesex counties. I trust that my experience in the area will help you with a successful Tax Appeal Petition. Please take a few moments to review the Tax Appeal FAQs covered in the above tab.

|Jeffrey Pfeffer.
Over decades of consulting with corporations and teaching MBA students the nuances of organizational power, Jeffrey Pfeffer has watched numerous people suffer career reversals even as others prevail despite the odds. Our most common mistake is not having a realistic understanding of what makes some people more successful than others. By believing that life is fair, we tend to subscribe to the "just-world phenomenon," which leaves us unprepared for the challenges and competition of the real world. Now Pfeffer brings decades of his incredible insights to a wider audience. Brimming with counterintuitive advice, numerous examples from various countries, and surprising findings based on his research, this groundbreaking guide reveals the strategies and tactics that separate the winners from the losers. Power, he argues, is a force that can be used and harnessed not only for individual gain but also for the benefit of organizations and society. Power, however, is not something that can be learned from those in charge -- their advice often puts a rosy spin on their ascent and focuses on what should have worked, rather than what actually did. Instead, Pfeffer reveals the true paths to power and career success. Iconoclastic and grounded in the realpolitik of human interaction, Power is an essential organizational survival manual and a new standard in the field of leadership and management. -- Book jacket.

For people who type a lot or suffer sore fingers and hands, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is the best tool available for dictating text and commanding a Web browser by voice, despite the gradual adjustments needed to conform to your personal manner of speaking.
With near-perfect accuracy and expanded software support, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7.0 takes the prize as the best personal speech-recognition software.
You don't need Siri to talk to your iPhone. Dragon Dictation recognizes your voice, though it won't answer you. Still, it's a handy (and free) app for dictating e-mails, texts, and Facebook and Twitter updates.
If you're sick of typing on your iPhone keyboard, Dragon Dictation should be the next app you install on your phone.
For this week's giveaway, we're serving up Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Home edition) voice-recognition software for Windows and Dragon Dictate for Mac.
There are several instances where it may behoove you to talk your text rather than type it. These two free apps for the iPhone will help make that possible.

I love thee not, therefore pursue me not.
Where is Lysander and fair Hermia?
The one I'll slay, the other slayeth me.
Thou told'st me they were stolen unto this wood;
And here am I, and wode within this wood,
Because I cannot meet my Hermia.
Hence, get thee gone, and follow me no more.
You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant;
But yet you draw not iron, for my heart
Is true as steel: leave you your power to draw,
And I shall have no power to follow you.
Do I entice you? do I speak you fair?
Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth
Tell you, I do not, nor I cannot love you?
And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you:
Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave,
Unworthy as I am, to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love,--
And yet a place of high respect with me,--
Than to be used as you use your dog?
Tempt not too much the hatred of my spirit;
For I am sick when I do look on thee.
And I am sick when I look not on you.
You do impeach your modesty too much,
To leave the city and commit yourself
Into the hands of one that loves you not;
To trust the opportunity of night
And the ill counsel of a desert place
With the rich worth of your virginity.
Your virtue is my privilege: for that
It is not night when I do see your face,
Therefore I think I am not in the night;
Nor doth this wood lack worlds of company,
For you in my respect are all the world:
Then how can it be said I am alone,
When all the world is here to look on me?
I'll run from thee and hide me in the brakes,
And leave thee to the mercy of wild beasts.
The wildest hath not such a heart as you.
Run when you will, the story shall be changed:
Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase;
The dove pursues the griffin; the mild hind
Makes speed to catch the tiger; bootless speed,
When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
I will not stay thy questions; let me go:
Or, if thou follow me, do not believe
But I shall do thee mischief in the wood.
Ay, in the temple, in the town, the field,
You do me mischief. Fie, Demetrius!
Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex:
We cannot fight for love, as men may do;
We should be wood and were not made to woo.
Exit DEMETRIUS
I'll follow thee and make a heaven of hell,
To die upon the hand I love so well.
Fare thee well, nymph: ere he do leave this grove,
Thou shalt fly him and he shall seek thy love.

Down in the belly of Goodtime Studio, in the basement of an old hospital, Dawn Press is one of the few commercial RISO printers in Australia. The man behind the machine is Xavier, but he's off in New York meeting, greeting and eating hotdogs so The Hungry Workshop will be running Dawn Press in his absence.
We had an in-depth induction into the craft before he headed off. As we furiously scrawled notes, Xavier explained the art of RISO and, after a little bit of practice today, we're confident we've got in down pat.
What is RISO? We'll let wikipedia explain:
The original is scanned through the machine and a master is created, by means of tiny heat spots on a thermal plate burning voids (corresponding to image areas) in a master sheet. This master is then wrapped around a drum and ink is forced through the voids in the master. The paper runs flat through the machine while the drum rotates at high speed to create each image on the paper.
The best way we can describe it is like a screen printing machine meets a photocopier. Sounds weird but it works well for things like zines, flyers and posters. We'll be down there every Thursday until Xavier's return, so if it sounds like something you are into, drop him a line or alternatively get in contact with us.

That's a lot of feed for sure. So how does that compare to other advertising options? This quick look from the WSJ gives us all an idea.
So while pricing is definitely for the 'big boys' only, the question remains, how will Facebook users respond to these ads? Facebook is trying to make the ads as unobtrusive as possible but I can't see how that is even possible to do while still giving value to advertisers.
There are two ways to look at this. One is as a consumer. Do you want video ads in your news feed? The other is as a marketer. Would you want to put video ads in a Facebook news feed?
So, what say you?
Have a nice weekend!

Sometime in the last decade, dogs achieved dominion over urban America. They are everywhere now, allowed in places that used to belong exclusively to humans, and sometimes only to human adults: the office, restaurants, museums, buses, trains, malls, supermarkets, barber shops, banks, post offices. Even at the park and other places where dogs belong, they've been given free rein. Dogs are frequently allowed to wander off leash, to run toward you and around you, to run across the baseball field or basketball court, to get up in your grill. Even worse than the dogs are the owners, who seem never to consider whether there may be people in the gym/office/restaurant/museum who do not care to be in close proximity to their dogs. After all, what kind of monster would have a problem with a poor innocent widdle doggie? It's a dog's world. We just live in it. And it's awful. Bad dogs!
I hate dogs: They're lounging in our offices and licking us at our cafes. It's time to take America back. - Slate Magazine
A few years ago I would have said, "Oh, Slate. You're so contrarian!" But after having a kid who gets regularly run roughshod over by people who just say of their terrible, terrible canine companions that won't sit, won't stay, won't not jump up and knock your child over, "oh, he's friendly, he won't bite" I'm totally down. Word, Farhad.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
From players to executives to ambassadors, the Trail Blazers were well represented on the podium last night at the 60th Annual Oregon Sports Awards.
It all started where it often starts for the Trail Blazers, President Larry Miller. Miller was honored with the opportunity to present the second-ever Terry Porter make it better Award to an athlete who performs above and beyond both in sports and the community. Gus Arroyo was that athlete. A four-year varsity track and cross country runner at David Douglas High School, Arroyo has performed more than 100 hours of community service as a volunteer youth leader for Camp Fire Columbia, where he has been asked to join the Board of Directors as one of only two youth members.
Next up was the legendary Bill Schonely, who, alongside Dwight Jaynes, presented the Game Changer Award. Given to an administrator, athletic director or coach who has dedicated his or her life to high school sports, this award found a deserving home with Rod Harman. Harman first dipped his toe into the pool as a swimming coach at Beaverton High School in 1959. Since then, his teams have claimed eight state championships and 10 runner-up trophies. He also led two water polo squads to the state title during the 1970s.
Then Trail Blazers Craig Smith and Elliot Williams hit the stage for one of the night's most prestigious awards, the Harry Glickman Award for most outstanding professional athlete with an Oregon background or on an Oregon team. Named after team founder and current President Emeritus Harry Glickman, this award has been presented to some of sports' biggest stars, including former Trail Blazers Brandon Roy, Clyde Drexler and Bill Walton. This year's winners were no exception, as Boston Red Sox star center fielder and Madras, Oregon, native Jacoby Ellsbury and standout soccer player on the U.S. Women's National Team and former University of Portland star Megan Rapinoe took the honors.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Our guild, which is super casual, is looking to do the old raids at 70 or 80. We know it's not the same. But a few points come to mind. First, the old 40 mans were indeed horrible in all ways, vastly time inefficent, a nightmare to organize, endless farming for drops that you get to roll versus 10 other people for, etc. It wasn't fun. While the instances themselves seem fun, and the bosses seem fun, that's about it, and as any old raider can tell you, 1000 times through MC is too much. Lastly, as people mentioned, just play WoW without TBC or WOTLK installed. You'll stop at 60 automatically, you'll never see Outland, the only difference is the talent trees and the fact that you can get OL gear through AH.
To me, if you want to struggle with raids, go through Wraith as quick as you can, and be in one of the cutting edge hardcore guilds that do the server firsts of bosses. This is where the excitment and progression is, not bosses that are years old that old raiders have done to death.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Central Wisconsin residents packed the Grand Theatre last night to get a sneak peek at a look at the history of the Wausau area courtesy of Wisconsin Public Television.
"Wisconsin Hometown Stories: Wausau" is a look at the founding and the growth of Wausau and the surrounding metro area over the past 180 years. Producers held listening sessions last spring to identify exactly what part of the story to tell, interviewed 22 people last summer and sifted through hundreds of photos at the Marathon County Historical Society. Camera crews shot 25 hours of footage that was edited down into one hour.
The crux of the story focuses on the idea of the Wausau Group, the businessmen who came for the lumber in the 1830s and stuck around, diversifying the community and investing in the future of central Wisconsin. It also goes into the history of Wausau Insurance, the spread of the ginseng and paper industries, and the history of the Hmong migration to central Wisconsin.
The hour long program will air on Wisconsin Public Television stations Monday at 8 p.m.

Pheasant and other upland-game seasons open Saturday. Lack of political action probably took some toll on habitat. | Dale Bowman~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 29, 2012 6:28AM
Government inaction might do more than the drought of 2012 to affect upland-game habitat and hunting.
Hunting for pheasant, quail, rabbits and partridge opens Saturday in Illinois. Once the favorite of hunters, upland game has been far surpassed by deer.
An estimated 12,301 hunters harvested 27,539 wild pheasants in the 2011-12 season. An estimated 12,668 hunters harvested 46,633 wild quail. Quail and pheasant hunters are now less than 5 percent of those who deer-hunt.
Rabbit hunting saw a small spike. An estimated 32,225 hunters (up 2 percent) harvested 155,552 rabbits (down 6.3 percent).
The good news is the drought shouldn't be much of a negative.
''This year, I think we are OK. The numbers are up, and so are at-large observations,'' said Aaron Kuehl, Pheasants Forever's conservation director for Illinois. ''Early in the season, we didn't have rains. And we had a great winter, so early nests were good. . . . That should mitigate for any of the bad in the drought.''
''I don't think it will have that big an impact in the pheasant range,'' emailed Mike Wefer, ag and grassland wildlife program manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. ''There could be local reductions in the quail range. We simply don't have the manpower to do fall covey counts, like some other states, so we really won't get any solid data until the season is over.''
The mild winter balanced out drought negatives.
''We saw a bounce in both nesting quail and pheasant numbers, thanks to last year's mild winter,'' Wefer emailed. ''A severe winter will likely erase some of our gains. Another drought next year could hurt, especially quail.''
The drought also led to rapid harvest. Statewide corn harvest is at 92 percent. Where hunters have land with habitat and permission to hunt, action should be good. Habitat is the issue.
''The reason that quail and pheasant numbers are down is habitat loss,'' Wefer emailed. ''Fields are larger, cleaner and lack crop diversity [fallow, hay, weeds and small grains are in short supply]. The birds need to have space to live, nest and raise their chicks. Anything landowners and sportsmen can do to increase habitat or improve and maintain existing habitat will help stem the declines.''
Programs for land use, such as the Conservation Reserve Program, are through the Farm Bill, which is stalled.
''The lack of a Farm Bill is disconcerting, and we are not going to see it before the election,'' Kuehl said.
He's right. Problem is, farmers are deciding now on land use.
''We are probably going to lose the opportunities for some of those fields that might have gone into [conservation programs],'' Kuehl said.
In the long run, he is hopeful the Farm Bill will pass and those acres will go into conservation.
''Stateside, we are hoping the sustainable funding bill [for the IDNR] goes through in the veto or lame-duck session,'' Kuehl said. ''We have two swings at this thing.''
To pass in the veto session, it would require a two-thirds vote. In the lame-duck session, it would need only a simple majority.
And Kuehl would like to see the pheasant and quail habitat areas expanded from a couple of dozen.
''Hopefully, we can get some legislators in there that will [see the value],'' he said. ''It would be nice to have one in every county that everybody could chase their dog on.''

The food of the Czech Republic is as Central European as it gets. Hearty and filling, Czech cooking centers largely around roast meats, dumplings (knedlíky), sausages (vuřty), potatoes, cabbage and sauerkraut, cheese and a delicious variety of pastries, tortes and cakes. Caraway and marjoram are the most popular seasonings for flavoring dishes, especially roast pork. Czechs have a strong pub culture, and small shops selling beer (pivo) and frankfurters (párky) are found in most towns and cities. This quick meal is eaten standing up at counters.

Hello everyone,
This seems like a superb photo site and I am looking forward to contributing every now and then.
I have been taking pictures for around 55 years and the pleasure never goes away. Started with a Kodak 127 Brownie that was a birthday present from mum and dad. Later I graduated to a Voigtlander Vitoret that I still have, and use occasionally. Next move was to a Minolta X300, again I still have it, then through the range - X500 - second hand XD7 and finally Minolta 600si classic.
The move to digital came on Friday 13th July 2007 with the purchase of a Pentax K100d, then a K20d and just recently a K5. I always buy cameras at the end of their production run, a, because they are cheaper and, b, all the bugs should be sorted.
Regards, Ploughman
Welcome to the site Ploughman
We're just up the road in Nottinghamshire. There are many on the site who've gone through a similar photography path. Interesting that you were keen Minolta through film and then changed to Pentax digital. Did the Minolta/Sony options not fulfil your needs? I'm a Pentax user too, although I'm using the Olympus OM-D more at the moment. The K-5 is a wonderful piece of kit!
Hi Pete,
thanks for your welcome and help.
Yes, I was very happy with Minolta, in particular the XD7, the best ever film slr. It was used as the base machine for the Leica R4, but after that Minolta went down in my opinion. I did go for the 600si Classic which was also a superb machine, but by then Minolta had changed the flash mount to that stupid narrow device and when the time came to go digital the Pentax K100d hit the right notes for me. So far I have no regrets.

Benfica was held to a 0-0 draw at Olhanense on Friday before FC Porto finished in a 1-1 deadlock at Pacos Ferreira, paving the way for Braga to jump ahead.
And the club took advantage with first-half goals from Mossoro and Lima to take a two-goal lead at halftime.
Academica pulled one back in the 62nd minute through David Simao, but it wasn't enough to prevent a 13th straight win for Braga, which sits one point clear of Porto and two above Benfica.
Also on Monday, Maritimo kept hold of fourth place by securing a 3-2 win over Gil Vicente after Christian Pouga scored the winning goal in the 86th minute.
Sunday's results saw Claudemir score a pair of goals from the penalty spot as Nacional topped Beira Mar, 3-0, Setubal beat Uniao Leiria 1-0 on a goal from Miguelito three minutes into the match, while Edgar netted the lone goal for Guimaraes in a 1-0 victory at Rio Ave.
The lone contest on Saturday saw Sporting Lisbon top Feirense, 1-0, on a first-half penalty kick from Diego Capel.

The Daylights 'I Hope This Gets To You'
One of the coolest music videos I've seen in months.
Yeah, what he said.
Prescott, AZ.
A week ago I flew to a dusty old town north of Phoenix by about two hours. My grandfather had passed away the weekend before Thanksgiving, falling asleep on Saturday and never waking up. He had succumbed to, among other ailments, a long-standing bout with Alzheimer's. The family held a beautiful memorial service, and a loverly, languid dinner later in the evening, over the weekend honoring the cowboy that he was. He had lived in Prescott as a teenager, working on a ranch long before the casinos, the Wal-Mart, and the faux honky tonk bars that litter the downtown square. It was around that time, actually, that he purchased a 1940 Gibson ES-150, a guitar that was given to me a few years ago. In transitional times, you shed superfluous weight and run with what you need. I brought the guitar home the other day for whatever lies ahead.
Another week.
We brought out some of our team last Wednesday. We sat down in our studio and played hours of new songs, demos, pieces; thoughts, complete or not.
As we looked back, we realized that the process has been in motion for sometime. Fatigue greets us at the front door. But as we look forward, we're more excited now than ever before.
The important pieces from the studio this past week.
Call it an early Christmas gift.
(Last try. Sheesh.)
Tumblr's kinda being a little bitch right now and not uploading a video…I promise you, it will be worth it when I get there. Hang tight.

World Wetlands Day in Japan
Report on World Wetland Day 2006 in Japan
A wide range of WWD events were held especially to commemorate the 20 wetlands designated as Ramsar sites during COP9 in November 2005 and launched a big step forward towards more effective conservation and wise use of the wetlands, with the result that public awareness of Ramsar philosophy has been raised.
Below mentioned are some of the events held on and around WWD in Japan, which are reported to Japan Administrative Authority.
1. As an event commemorating WWD, Exbition on "Tidal flats and Wetlands of Korea" was held by Inae Visitor Centre of Fujimae-higata from February 2 through 26, 2006. Mr. Umemura, a management staff of Fujimae-higata National Wildlife Protection Area, who has been observing the wildlife of Fujimae-higata for about 20 years and also been participating in the research on tidal flats in Korea, appealed for the importance of wetlands and their wise use, to the visitors of the Exhibition by giving examples of the wetlands in Korea such as "Saemangeum" and "Nakdong River Estuary" tidal flats whose ecosystems have been threatened, "Suncheon Bay", "Shihwa Lake" and a reservoir located in Changwon-City in Gyeongsangnam-do where COP10 will be held (see photos attached hereto).
2. At Waterfowl and Wetland Centre of Sakata, on 4 February, 2006, a program to watch swans and geese wintering in Sakata was organized and both grown-ups and children gathered and enjoyed the program.
3. At Yonago Waterbird Sanctuary in Nakaumi Ramsar site, in commemoration of Asia Wetland Week, an event titled "Thanks to the Wetland with GURUGURU Art!" was held. Children wrote in massages of thanks to the wetland for gift and benefit therefrom on a sheet of cloth, and completed a "GURUGURU" art (a kind of tapestry). "GURUGURU" is a Japanese word standing for "the state of rotating" or "being rotated", and "GURUGURU Art" is a method of painting along circumference of the concentric circle (rotating in concentric circle) and separating by color, and when painting is completed, a picture/s painted appears on the cloth sheet. With the writing-in of "Thank-you" message, a Tundra swan appeared as shown in the attached photo (below).
4. In Tottori Prefecture with Nakaumi within its jurisdiction, a training on the designation of Nakaumi to Ramsar site of international importance was organized for the officials of the prefectural government. The contents of Ramsar Convention were briefed by a representative from Ministry of the Environment, and a proposal on wise use of Nakaumi was made by Park Nature Division of Tottori prefectural government, followed by, constructive discussions among the trainees. Further, environment conservation activities currently undertaken in Nakaumi were explained by local environmentalist groups, during the training.
5. In Tajiri-town with Kubukuri-numa and the surrounding rice paddies within its jurisdiction, in commemoration of the designation of "Kaburi-numa and the Surrounding rice paddies" to Ramsar Site, Tajiri-town Ramsar Festival "Learn from Nature (Kaburi-numa) and Improve our Livelihood (Rice paddies)" was held.
The theme and agenda under the Festival was " Wise use of Wetland through Agriculture in harmony with the wetland conservation". Various kinds of events were planned and successfully held, such as photo contest, key-note speech, opinion statement of school children, lecture from specialist overseas, working groups and many more.

Hi Pylon,
I have done some basics projects. I have done some home automation stuff that can be controlled from PC software / Mobile with an Arduino as well . so just thought of doing a washing machine since my commercial washing machine is always giving me problems . The service technician says that the 'PCB is gone' . Since this is a frequent issue, I thought of doing one. I am more eager to know about the mechanical advantage of gear. If any of the member has taken the mechanical advantage with gears ( I am sure it is possible with pulley) then it should be possible to drive the load with small DC motors.

|10.5 acres (4.2 ha)
Tompkins Square Park is a 10.5-acre (4.2 ha) public park in the Alphabet City section of the East Village neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It is square in shape, and is bounded on the north by East 10th Street, on the east by Avenue B, on the south by East 7th Street, and on the west by Avenue A. St. Marks Place abuts the park to the west.
Tompkins Square Park is located on land near the East River, that originally consisted of salt marsh and open tidal meadows, "Stuyvesant meadows", (map, left) the largest such ecosystem on Mannahatta island,[1] but has since been filled in.[2] The unimproved site, lightly taxed by the city as most agricultural properties were, seemed scarcely worth the expense of improving to its owners, the Stuyvesants, who inherited it from the 17th-century grant awarded to Peter Stuyvesant, and their Pell and Fish relatives. The City aldermen, to raise the tax base of the city, accepted a gift of land in 1829 from Peter Gerard Stuyvesant (1778—1847) with the understanding that it would remain a public space,[3] and compensated other owners with $62,000 in city funds to set aside a residential square; transforming the muddy site took another $22,000 before Tompkins Square was opened in 1834.[4] Surrounded by a cast-iron fence the following year[5] and planted with trees, the square was expected to have a prosperous and genteel future,[6] which was undercut, however, by the Panic of 1837 that brought the city's expansion to a halt.[7]
Tompkins Square Park is named for Daniel D. Tompkins (1774–1825), Vice President of the United States under President James Monroe and the Governor of New York from 1807 until 1817. He had overseen some early drainage in the locality in connection with minor fortifications in the War of 1812. The park was opened in 1850.[8]
In 1857, immigrants protesting unemployment and food shortages were attacked by police. In 1863 the deadly Draft Riots occurred in the park.[8]
On January 13, 1874, the Tompkins Square Riot occurred in the park when police crushed a demonstration involving thousands of workers.[9] The riot marked an unprecedented era of labor conflict and violence.
In 1877 5,000 people fought with the National Guard when they amassed to hear Communist revolutionary speeches.[8]
In April 1897 a Rabbi was arrested for not obtaining a permit for the performance of Birkat Hachama, a Jewish ritual done once every 28 years.[10]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (December 2011)
In the middle 19th century the "Square" included a large parade ground for drilling the New York National Guard. The modern layout of the park by Robert Moses in 1936 is said[who?] to be intended to divide and manage crowds that have gathered there in protest since the 1870s. That tradition was rekindled as the park became the nursery of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
By the 1980s Tompkins Square Park had become for many New Yorkers synonymous with the city's increased social problems. The park at that time was a high-crime area that contained encampments of homeless people, and it was a center for illegal drug dealing and heroin use.
In August 1988, a riot erupted in the park when police attempted to clear the park of homeless people; 44 people were injured. Bystanders as well as homeless people and political activists got caught up in the police action that took place on the night of August 6 and the early morning of August 7, after a large number of police surrounded the park and charged at the hemmed-in crowd while other police ordered all pedestrians not to walk on streets neighboring the park. Much of the violence was videotaped and clips were shown on local TV news reports (notably including one by a man who sat on his stoop across the street from the park and continued to film while a police officer beat him up), but ultimately, although at least one case went to trial, no police officers were found culpable. A Punk Rock festival has been held in the park in the years since prompting people to never forget this tragedy.
The park had become a symbol of the problems in the city. Against that backdrop, Daniel Rakowitz shocked the neighborhood in 1989 when he murdered Monika Beerle, dismembered her, made a soup out of her body and served it to the homeless in the park.[11] Rakowitz, nicknamed "The Butcher of Tompkins Square", was found not guilty by reason of insanity and remains incarcerated at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on Wards Island.[12]
From June 3, 1991 to July 25, 1992, the park was closed to the public for restoration, but also to keep out the homeless and in attempt to calm tensions.[13]
Increasing gentrification in the East Village during the 1990s and 2000s (decade), as well as enforcement of a park curfew and the eviction of homeless people, have changed the character of Tompkins Square Park. The park was closed and refurbished in the early 1990s and today, with its playgrounds and basketball courts, dog run, ping pong table, handball courts and built-in outdoor chess tables, the park attracts young families, students and seniors as well as tourists from all over the globe.
The outdoor drag festival Wigstock, held in the park, is now part of the Howl Festival. The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival is a musical tribute to the famous former resident of Avenue B. In 2007, the New Village Music Festival was formed.[14] This is a community music festival dedicated to celebrating New York's diverse music scene. In addition, the event highlights the importance of music and cultural arts programs throughout the city.
There is also an annual event in early August commemorating the 1988 Police Riot that features neighborhood bands.
The Food Not Bombs Manhattan chapter serves every Sunday in the park, rain or shine.
Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation have a popular free outdoor French film festival which shows a critically acclaimed French films each Friday at sunset in city parks including Tompkins during June and July.[15][16]
The Tompkins Square Dog Run was the first[8] dog run in New York City. It opened in 1990 as part of a large-scale renovation of the dilapidated park.[17] It recently underwent a $450,000 renovation, much of which was funded by the New York City government and fund-raising by dog run patrons. It now includes a surface of crushed stone [sand], three swimming pools, a tree deck, and bath areas and hoses to spray off your pet.[17]
One such fundraiser is the Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade the run hosts to raise money to maintain the run. This is the biggest dog Halloween party in the United States, boasting an annual attendance of more than 400 dogs in costume and 2,000 spectators.
One of Tompkins Square Park's most prominent features is its collection of venerable American Elm (Ulmus americana) trees. One elm in particular, located next to the semi-circular arrangement of benches in the park's center, is important to adherents of the Hare Krishna religion. It was beneath this tree, on October 9, 1966, that A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, held the first recorded outdoor chanting session of the Hare Krishna mantra outside of the Indian subcontinent; participants in the ceremony included Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. The event is seen as the founding of the Hare Krishna religion in the United States, and the tree is treated by Krishna adherents as a significant religious site.[20]
American elm trees are known for their towering canopies, which provide abundant shade throughout the spring, summer, and fall. It is rare today to find such a collection of American elms, since many of the mature elms planted across the country have been killed by Dutch Elm Disease. This incurable disease, a fungus carried by elm bark beetles (Coleoptera scolytidae) that colonize on the branches of the elm tree, swept across the United States in the 1930s and remain a threat to the park's collection of elms. Despite having lost at least 34 of the trees, Tompkins Square Park still hosts a large assemblage of elms, which continue to this day to enchant park patrons. The East Village Parks Conservancy, a volunteer group, raises significant private funds for the ongoing care and maintenance of the American elms and other historic trees in Tompkins Square Park.
The main playground, closest to Avenue A, features many unique jungle gyms, including rock climbing features. The water fountain spurts out unpredictably, in the summer time. There is a large sandbox, swing sets, and benches. There are two smaller playgrounds in the section of the park near 7th Street and Avenue B.

Edward DeSeve has been chosen as a special adviser to Obama administration officials for putting the stimulus package in place and keeping it on track, White House officials announced.
DeSeve will help Vice President Joe Biden carry out the $787 billion stimulus law, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. President Barack Obama put Biden in charge of making sure the law works as officials intended.
DeSeve will coordinate the Office of Management and Budget's efforts to keep the massive project running smoothly, the administration said March 23. He will guide agencies so they work together in spending the stimulus money under the law's guidelines. DeSeve will also be a special adviser to the president.
He will essentially be another inspector general for the stimulus package, complementing the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. The board is overseeing agencies to ensure that they track the stimulus money in detail and is responsible for developing the Recovery.gov Web site to collect data from federal, state and local agencies to show how the money is being spent.
DeSeve was formerly OMB's controller and deputy director for management. In that position, he played a major role in coordinating the government's approach to dealing with the Year 2000 computer problem. He was also the chief financial officer at the Housing and Urban Development Department.
In the private sector, DeSeve has worked for KPMG Peat Marwick, Affiliated Computer Services and Merrill Lynch Capital Markets.
