Way back in January of this year, as a way to celebrate my 50th year on this earth, I decided to do a couple of things – to participate in the Race Across America (RAAM), and to participate in Ironman Tahoe. I committed to these things for both altruistic and selfish reasons. On the one hand, I wanted to support a couple causes near and dear to my heart, and on the other hand, after 10 years of sitting on the sidelines, I needed a reason to get off my lazy butt and re-engage in the competitive side of sport, which I truly miss.
I suppose you can say this year has been my "Ice Bucket Challenge" - only sweatier . . . and longer . . . and hotter . . . with no ice. (Well – Tahoe may have ice, but I am really hoping for no ice.)
First up was RAAM. RAAM is a bike race from Oceanside, California to Baltimore, Maryland, and I was both the team manager and a team member (cyclist). Our mission was to raise awareness and funds for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF), and to finish in seven days or less. IFHF is a fund that supports soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries. As a Vietnam era military child, this one was important to me. To make a long story short, we finished in five days and twenty-one hours, won the eight-person team division, raised awareness about IFHF, and raised $653,000 dollars. Mission accomplished!
Next up (as in right around the corner) is Ironman Lake Tahoe. I am participating in Ironman Lake Tahoe to raise awareness and funds for Tu Nidito Children and Family Services. Tu Nidito provides comfort, hope and support to children and families whose lives have been impacted by a serious medical condition or death. My wife Traci and I have been involved with Tu Nidito for the past couple years. I'm participating in memory of Jose Rincon, Jr. who, while riding bicycles with a friend, was struck and killed by a drunk driver. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to meet Jose, but through Tu Nidito, I have gotten to know his family a bit. Jose's amazing family is a testament to the positive impact Tu Nidito can have on a families who have suffered a loss.
Jose's little sister, Juli, had this to say about Tu Nidito, "I was 8-years-old when my brother died. It was one of the worst and most confusing days of my life. Being only 8 years old, I didn't really understand what had happened. I didn't know that I wouldn't get to see my brother again. I didn't know that from that day on, my family would change from being a family of 6, to a family of 5. That year, my family and I received much love and support from family and friends, but it was hard because none of them knew exactly what we had gone through. They didn't understand how truly hard it was. But that all changed when we began going to Tu Nidito. The first day I went, it was so amazing and eye opening. I finally felt like I belonged here again. I felt like I actually fit in and I wasn't 'the girl who lost her brother.' I was surrounded by kids my own age who had just recently gone through this tragic experience. I wasn't in this alone anymore."
I hate asking for money. But this year I am asking. I have seen, firsthand, the amazing impact that Tu Nidito has on families suffering from the most unthinkable grief, and I'm honored to help raise money so that they can continue to help children and families deal with their loss. The entire Rincon family volunteers at Tu Nidito helping other families cope with tragedy and grief, and I'm continually amazed and inspired by their generosity, courage, and strength.
My goal is to raise $20,000 in honor of Jose Jr. A HUGE thank you to those of you who have already contributed. If you have not yet contributed and you would like to – PLEASE DONATE HERE.
Now I'm going to head out for a little training so that I get to the IRONMAN Lake Tahoe finish line before the midnight cut-off!

Race Across America (RAAM) Reintegration Process
- Cycling
- Funny Stuff
- filed under:
- comments: (0)
As many of you know, I participated in the Race Across America (RAAM) last week, along with seven other teammates.
Our team was on the go via bicycle or car/van/RV, 24/7 for more than 3000 miles - for 5 days, 22 hours, 58 minutes.
Lots of you have asked me what it's like to recover from something like this. I must say that physically, I already feel quite normal - no soreness or deep fatigue . . . none that I know of, anyway.
However, reintegrating from the 24/7 aspect of the event: the funky sleep cycles and lack of creature comforts, is taking longer than I expected.
With this in mind, I thought I'd share reintegration items that I've checked off my list, so far, on my way to becoming "normal" again.
• Eat a vegetable
• Sleep in the prone position
• Get a normal night's sleep
• Read a newspaper
• Establish a dry crotch and feet
• Go #2 for longer than it takes to run from a vehicle to a convenience store bathroom in less time than it takes to fill said vehicle's tank with gas
• Wear clean (truly) laundry
• Eat food that doesn't come in a packet
• Talk about something other than power output, avg. speed, wind direction, or what kind of (packet) food to eat
• Listen to music that was made by people playing actual musical instruments, and that contains lyrics that are longer than one sentence
• Stand up for longer than it takes to pee
• Stop incessantly looking at the RAAM tracker app
2014 Riccitello Coaching Cycling And Triathlon Apparel Store Is Live!
If you're in need of some new stylish and functional cycling and/or triathlon apparel, I've got you covered.
I've been using Squadra Cycling apparel for as long as I can remember. It's durable, functional, fashionable and comfortable - all of the things I demand from my workout clothing, and it's why I chose Squadra.
The tabs at the top of the store provide plenty of information about the fit and technology of the clothing, but I've included a few general comments of my own below:
The short sleeve jersey is very comfortable whether its 45F or 105F outside. For temperatures between 45F and 60F, I typically pair the short sleeve jersey with a base layer, arm warmers, and a wind vest. If you live in an area prone to cold weather (below 45F), in September I will offer a long sleeved wind jacket and a thermal vest and jacket which will provide significant added warm versus the wind vest, as well as protection from the wind and rain.
The triathlon apparel is comfortable, form fitting, quick drying, yet provides coverage from the elements. The fabric has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 50+ and shields both UVA and UVB rays.
Click on this link to take you to the store: Riccitello Coaching Cycling and Triathlon Apparel. Apparel will be shipped to the address you provide. Do not select the "Will Call" option unless you want to personally pick up the clothing at Squadra in Carlsbad, CA. If you're a France Camper, remember that I am providing you with a cycling jersey and shorts (but grab a functional and fashionable wind vest and arm warmers for the chilly descents!).
Should you choose to wear my clothing - I'm honored beyond words and look forward to seeing it on the roads and trails.
I know you'll enjoy it and thanks!
A Day At France Camp
We start each day Riccitello's France Cycling Camp with coffee from a French press and a wholesome breakfast (except for the Nutella - which is not that wholesome but tastes very good) of fruits, mueslix, cereals, yogurts, breads, eggs. This is usually washed down with more coffee (when in France ... ).
Then we chamois up (French for shammy) and ride the famous climbs and descents of the Oisans valley in the French alps. To try and describe the quality of riding would be insulting.
Lunch is eaten on the bike (thank you Clif for your tasty Clif Bars and the sweet and savory Mojo Bars and your Shot Bloks and gels).
Most rides are followed with a snack and a nap.
Upon waking up to a view that never ceases to amaze, most campers will soak up some sun while lounging on the porch with a good book (or electronic version of a book). There may be a midday glass of wine or three.
Then come hors d'oeuvres - usually local sausages, cheeses, olives, cakes, tea, and such.
Appetizers are often followed by a hike along rugged sheep, goat, and cattle trails with views of Pic Blanc and the ever enticing 21 turns of l'alpe d'huez.
Then dinner - salad from your host's garden, some kind of animal that was probably hiking on the same trail you hiked early in the day or pulled from the pure and crystal clear waters that rage down from the mountain tops (fear not, vegetarians - there are meatless options), pasta or rice, wine - and then desert - and more wine.
After finishing desert many campers gather at the village bar for a digestif (night-cap) and to watch the day's Tour de France stage on the big screen (thankfully, there are big screens in the alps). Some play boules (bocce ball) with the locals. Others gather on the chalet porch for wine and to talk story.
Then we sleep, and dream of the next day in cycling paradise.
(I have a couple double occupancy rooms open this year - look here if you're interested).

More than a year ago I began planning an epic vacation to the Turks & Caicos with my family. We are two weeks away from our trip and I started putting together my essentials, which includes Monoii Tiki Tahiti oil, breathable fabrics, my Kindle Fire, a floppy hat and a playful bikini. The search for cute swimwear led me far and wide, but passing up this Frill Hipster Bikini Pant and Bandeau Top from ASOS's sale last week would have been crazy. It reminds me of tropical punch, which is befitting of the occasion.
Wouldn't you agree? What else should I pack for my trip?

I have been itching for a reason to return to Warby Parker's check out cart ever since I purchased my prescription eyeglasses two years ago. I love Warby's business model, and the option of shopping from the comfort of a couch without paying astronomical prices for eyeglasses is unmatched. However, there's only one thing that keeps me from investing in more than one pair of eyeglasses, and that's the expiration date of my prescriptions.
Enter Warby Parker's Sunwear collection; a breezy bevy of sunnies that come in two options, with or without a prescription. While I want nearly every frame that they offer, the Neville blue marblewood sunglasses are by far my favorite. And everyone else's too apparently.
Reasonable priced at $195 with a prescription and $145 without one, these bad boys are completely sold out. Lust list item indeed.
Visit www.warbyparker.com to check out the collection.

Spring is here and it is time for the sprightly, the light and the beautiful — just in case you needed a reminder to rotate out those darker nail polishes!
While dainty pastels are a seasonal must, this season's lacquers ebb on the wilder side into bold iridescent, glitter and citrus-y shades. Of course I found my favorites, but here are 15 spring polishes that are worth buying for spring.
In a few days, we will welcome with open arms the budding confirmation of winter's end. Old Man Winter may bite at our noses a bit more, but there's something about the rejuvenation and the assortment of nature's wonders that make spring an all-time favorite.
Last fall, designers around the world interpreted what spring would bring. At Louis Vuitton it was a checkered sensation. At Alexander Wang it was springtime leather. Collectively, designers tuned into eight trends that not only would capture a woman's aesthetic for the season, but would burn up the racks at every department store and boutique in town. From florals galore to perforated tees, here are the eight trends to scoop up this spring. Continue reading
When I think about the women who inspired my fashion dreams, plenty of faces come to mind. You can say I got an early start on my appreciation of pop culture and style, and I often recall those moments with a blurred fondness.

WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are hitting new 52-week highs and 52-week lows.

By vee from USA on 2013-10-28 17:11:08Things I liked:Description said that it would fit a 11mm dovetail but it doesn't fit my AA TX200. Even if I managed to pry the clamps apart to fit, the "weaver rail" is too small for my Warne weaver scope rings. Even the cheap $9.99 UTG rail worked. That being said, it does look sturdy and well made.
Things I would have changed:Add instructions. Make it a true "weaver rail"
What others should know:I can't speak for other air rifles but avoid for your AA TX200.

- What is a Fixed Term License (FTL)?
A Fixed Term License (FTL) is granted for a specific length of time (term). When the license expires at the end of the term, the user must either stop using the product or obtain a new license. IBM Rational only offers Authorized User Fixed Term Licenses at this time.
- What is an Authorized User FTL?
An Authorized User FTL allows a single, specific individual to use an IBM Rational product for a specific length of time (the term). Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User FTL for each individual user accessing the product in any manner. An Authorized User FTL may not be reassigned unless the purchaser is replacing the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.
- What are the differences between a regular Authorized User license and an Authorized User FTL?
There are three main differences:
- The Authorized User license is a one-time, open-ended purchase that permits product use for an indefinite time period. The Authorized User FTL permits product use for only a fixed length of time (term); At the end of the term, the user no longer has the right to use the product.
- The Authorized User FTL price does not vary depending on the Passport Advantage Relationship Suggested Volume Price (RSVP).
- When you purchase an Authorized User FTL under the Passport Advantage Express program, IBM will automatically extend the term for an additional year at the prevailing price unless you notify IBM that you do not want an extension before the license expires. The subsequent FTL term starts when the initial FTL term expires. The price for this subsequent term is currently 80 percent of the initial FTL price but is subject to change.
- Where can I find the FTL terms?
The FTL terms appear in an IBM Rational product license agreement that each user must click to accept before installing the product. The text is as follows:
Fixed Term License. If you acquire an IBM Rational program under a Fixed Term License (FTL), the following terms apply:
- You may use the program only for a limited period of time, called the "fixed term." The end date of your fixed term will be specified in your Proof of Entitlement (PoE), under "Software Maintenance Coverage Dates."
- At the end of the fixed term, your authorization to use the program will terminate; you must discontinue use of the program and destroy all copies of it.
- If you wish to continue to use the program beyond the fixed term for an additional fee, contact IBM or your Rational reseller prior to the end date.
- What is an initial FTL?
Your first FTL is your initial license, indicated in the product description as INITL 12MO FT LIC+SW MNT (Initial 12-month Fixed Term License and Software Maintenance). Your initial license will be used to calculate the terms of each subsequent FTL that you purchase.
- What is a subsequent FTL?
A subsequent FTL is a renewal license that you purchase when your initial license term expires. Currently, subsequent FTLs are priced at 80 percent of the initial license cost, but that formula is subject to change. A subsequent FTL is indicated in the product description as SUBSQ 12MO FT LIC+SW MNT (Subsequent 12-month Fixed Term License and Software Maintenance).
- Is software maintenance included with an FTL?
Yes. Holders of FTLs from IBM Rational automatically receive product upgrades and are entitled to technical support.
- How do I notify IBM if I decide not to extend my FTL?
Before your FTL is scheduled to expire, you will receive a notice with detailed information on how to notify IBM that you do not want to extend your FTL. The notice will also remind you that IBM will extend your FTL automatically unless you send notification.
- If I notify IBM that I do not want to extend my FTL, can I extend the license after it expires?
No. After the FTL expires, the user must acquire a new initial license.

People wanna be stuck up bitches because DAMN NEAR ALL of the population call stretched ears "Gauges?" Look you bitches, can you fucking blame them? That's kind of what they're listed as in stores and online. I mean seriously, shut the fuck up and think about it. Yes, most of us are AWARE that's not what they called but it's better than going up to someone and going "Excuse me, what size are your stretched ears? two inch you say? well ma'am, your 2 in ears are lovely." Yeah. yeah that makes a hell of a lot of fucking sense.
We get it. It's not what they're called. It's just fucking easier.
Get the fuck off your god damn high horses and shut the fuck up.
I dont sit there and say "oh no, sir, that's not a tattoo, that is a lovely ink portrait of a fish upon your arm. I quite enjoy it."
No. I say "Wow, sir, that's a nice tattoo."
Possibly one of the worst, and most hilarious arguments for 'gauging' we've ever seen!
Brb guys, just going to millimeter my ears, go for a quick mile, and then head down to the pub for a litre with Scott.
And how on earth is one two-syllable word harder to say than another, two-syllable word?
And we like being on our high horses. Why? Because we're right.
Brb, time for a litre.
To be fair, people do go to the pub for a pint though…also a unit of measurement.
Also, the definition 'stretched ears' for gauges is already widespread and part of the lexicon, so we can't really call it "incorrect." Definitions change. Bead used to mean 'prayer' but kids got confused by rosaries and started using bead to refer to the actual objects being counted instead of what they represented. I'm sure people tried to "correct" them, too, but obviously that didn't quite work out, as bead now means 'a small round object with a hole through it.'
Can people just stop thinking they're superior for using one word over another? It's petty and snobbish.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
With all of the major things going on right now (holiday events, 3.0.2, Wrath in ~3 weeks) I'd say the level of service they've provided is more than acceptable. In a perfect world they'd be able to do all of these things with no impact on the players, but there's a big difference between acceptable and perfect.
If you really can't tolerate occasional downtime and quirks even around the time of a major content patch and expansion being released then you simply should not be playing MMOs. Go buy a single player RPG, preferably one that's been out for a year or two so they've had time to work all the bugs out.

He is the best teacher ever !!!
I found Professor Quinn to be an extremely effective professor despite being what some may describe as laissez-faire in his teaching style he has a strong command of the subject matter and is a very interesting character. I recommend anyone who has a strong desire to work hard and learn to take one of his courses.

Satin Mermaid Gown with Bow Detail Style V3204 223 224
My dream dress!! I was so happy I found and purchased my dress on my first trip to David's Bridal. I had my mind made up until.... I decided to change it. lol So I made a 2nd appointment. After trying on 5 more dresses I fell in love with a new dress. I purchased it, took it home and followed the saying "Once you've decided a dress is THE ONE, stop looking!' But being the wishy washy person I am, one day I decided I just HAD to look and make sure there were no new and better dresses. Then, I came across this one. I tried to talk myself out of looking at it, but couldn't. Something told me to go in and try it on. I am SO glad I did. I am absolutely head over heels in love with this dress. I love everything about it. It's absolutely gorgeous and the pictures online DO NOT do it justice. The material is so beautiful and expensive looking and the bow is the perfect detail . I definitely recommend this dress! :) May 12, 2011
Love At First Sight I had already purchased a dress from David's but felt slightly unsatisfied. One day I was browsing the website and saw this dress on the homepage - and absolutely fell in love with it! I knew then that I HAD to try this dress on, and as soon as I saw myself in it - I knew this was the one!! They were able to exchange the dresses for me right then and there. I am SOOO excited to wear this on my wedding day, it's such a gorgeous dress! May 4, 2011
Finally it! Went to David's Bridal for the first time and tried on this dress. My bridesmaids, including other people at the store absolutely loved it. But I wasn't ready to make a decision. Went back to the store almost a month later and tried on about 7 dresses! This was the first one I put on and already wanted to cry the moment I walked out and stood in front of the mirror. It felt perfect! Still didn't make a decision. I finally went back with my mother a few days later and tried on the dress but she didn't like it so I tried another one on that she fell in love with but that I was unsure about. Crazy me, bought the dress she liked!! Barely slept that night. Spent all morning wanted to cry because I knew I made the wrong decision. I was feeling sick to my stomach! Called my attendant and thank God, she allowed me to exchange! So I went back right away and got the dress I loved! It's absolutely beautiful!!! May 4, 2011
Beautiful I walked in to the store dead set on trying on a dress i found online. But as I walked through the door I saw this gown on a display and I absolutely fell in love! After trying it on I forgot about the other dress. And the price could not be more perfect May 3, 2011

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino continues to toy with casino developer Steve Wynn, who is trying to build a $1.3 billion casino on the Mystic River waterfront in Everett. Menino has hinted more than once that part of Wynn's development may be in Boston, which, if true, would give the mayor clout to kill the plan.
But Menino's judgment on this issue may be clouded by his strong support for a competing casino plan at Suffolk Downs in East Boston. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission, which oversees the casino licensing process, should step in and settle the issue before Menino further complicates the process.

Stiff big toe, also known as hallux rigidus, is an arthritic condition in the big toe that causes the joint to stiffen. Because the big toe is so involved in movement of the feet, hallux rigidus can make walking painful and difficult. The big toe is the most common site of arthritis in the foot. The joint in the big toe is referred to as the first metatarsophalangeal or MTP joint. Every time you take a step, the MTP joint bends to help maintain proper balance and weight displacement in the foot. Like any other joint, the MTP joint is protected by smooth cartilage. This prevents the connecting bones from rubbing together painfully. When injury, disease or normal wear and tear damage the cartilage, painful and debilitating symptoms can result.
Stiff Big Toe Symptoms
The symptoms of stiff big toe or hallux rigidus include:
Stiff Big Toe Causes
There are many theories about what causes hallux rigidus. Risk factors and possible causes of stiff big toe include:
Stiff Big Toe Diagnosis
After your doctor gathers your full medical history, a physical exam is performed. During the exam your doctor will inquire about your concerns and the severity, location and frequency of your symptoms. Diagnostic procedures such as x-rays and MRIs will most likely be used to diagnose and determine the extent of the disease.
Treatments for stiff big toe depend upon the severity of the condition and range from nonsurgical treatment such as anti-inflammatory medication and shoe modification to joint reconstruction surgery.
The multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic experts at North Shore-LIJ Orthopaedic Institute's Foot and Ankle Services in New York treats stiff big toe, or hallux rigidus as well as a broad range of foot and ankle conditions that can occur at any stage of life.

One aspires to be a businesswoman, the other an engineer. There's a teacher and a social worker in the mix as well, and they're all high achievers who have won multiple scholarships and academic - and in some cases, athletic - awards.
A scholastic tradition with roots stretching back to at least the 15th century continues Saturday when the class of 2014 graduates from Bryan County's two high schools.
Bryan County Schools will test out a four-day work week for some of its employees in June.
As school ends and the summer season arrives, keeping young bodies and brains engaged can be challenging.
G.W. Carver Elementary School para-professional Karen Busteed recently won a scholarship from the Bryan Evans Retired Educators Association. Busteed is completing her degree in early elementary education. "The Bryan Evans REA appreciates and is proud of our excellent teachers," said Barbara Estes, president of the association. "Their work makes our schools outstanding."
When it comes to goals, Richmond Hill High School senior Alexa Elliott has some advice for next year's incoming freshmen.
Bryan County Middle School students participated in the annual Aviation Career Day on Thursday at Gulfstream Aerospace in Savannah.
Low-income parents scrambling to help their kids pay for college may be lured into taking on loans they can't really repay, say some prominent education scholars.
STATESBORO - Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal visited Georgia Southern University on May 5 to sign into law House Bill 744, a part of the 2015 fiscal year budget, which includes funding for a new military-science building at GSU.
Richmond Hill High School senior Loretta McKee recently received a certificate from Bryan County Health and Rehabilitation Center Activity Director JoAnn McIntosh for her work as a volunteer at the center. McKee's sister, Shanee McKee, a 2013 graduate from RHHS, was absent from the recent ceremony but also received an award for her volunteerism.
Brittin, Diamond and Kessler elementary schools are participating in today's International Walk/Bike to School Day.
Active members of the Georgia Technology Student Association (GA TSA) and the Science Club at Bryan County High School participated in a field trip April 18 to Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. in Savannah as part one of their Georgia Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) project.
Tyler Marie Herring of Richmond Hill has been named to the president's list at William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Miss., for the winter trimester.
Bryan County Schools got some good news Monday.
Members of the Bryan County Board of Education have approved spending about $15 million to get work started on both of the county's new elementary schools.
Max Makhinson was named Junior Rotarian for the Month of September by the Rotary Club of Richmond Hill.
Mrs. Pam Walker's fourth grade class at Carver Elementary used supplies sent in by parents to complete an Earthquake-Simulation project. Students learned how engineering, stability, and gravity are related to natural disasters as they built their multi-story structures. Students then recorded the effects of a simulated earthquake on their structure.
Unfilled teaching jobs in Arizona are at a crisis level, AZ Central reports. There are over 527 job openings, resulting in crowded classrooms. One Phoenix-area district alone had 63 openings.
Bryan County Elementary school students enjoy their new connections classes by becoming detectives in a Math Scene Investigation. In the Math Lab class, Katelyn Finnegan encourages them to investigate and find clues to a math mystery. As they walk around the room to find and solve math clues, it is easy to see that the new connection classes are a big hit.
Georgia Southern University is gearing up for its second annual science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) festival from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at the Nessmith-Lane Conference Center, 847 Plant Drive in Statesboro, according to georgiasouthern.edu.
Mrs. Walker's fourth grade students at Carver Elementary recently became "Meteorologists of the Day."
Army Command Sergeant Major Cameron Porter talked to more than 110 Bryan County High School JROTC students during an assembly last week. The career public affairs officer, assigned to the Armed Forces Network Command in Europe, talked to the junior cadets about what a positive influence the Army and military could play in their lives. He encouraged them to consider a career in the military when making the plans.

Can't Kick the Habit The Habit Burger Grill Announces 4th Location to Open in June
PHOENIX , May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Habit Burger Grill is opening its fourth Arizona location on Wednesday, June 20 in Phoenix located on 7th Avenue and McDowell Road (534 W. McDowell Road). Phoenix continues to be a positive growth market for The Habit, with three already successful locations around the Valley. The California-based concept continues to grow with over 50 locations in California; Arizona is the only other state with The Habit Burger locations. The first location in Phoenix opened in May 2011.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120208/MM50542LOGO)
During the three other grand opening events, The Habit Burger Grill raised thousands of dollars for various local charities including The Boys and Girls Club, Phoenix Children's Hospital, United Phoenix Firefighter Charities, and more. The Habit will conduct these charity events again at the new location and looks forward to partnering with area organizations while giving back to the local community.
"We are excited to continue our growth in the greater Phoenix area with our newest Habit here in Phoenix," says Russ Bendel, President and CEO of Habit Restaurants, LLC. "Our fourth location will give even more people a new 'Habit' worth repeating."
Everything served at The Habit is reasonably priced compared to other casual dining or other "gourmet burger" establishments ($2.95 for an original Charburger). The Habit also serves freshly grilled sandwiches, specialty salads tossed to order, onion rings, sweet potato fries and a variety of hand-blended shakes and malts.
The Habit is best known for their made-to-order "Charburgers" grilled over an open flame and their friendly, inviting service. They use only fresh, quality ingredients, and always live up to their motto: "There's No Substitute For Quality!"

|Emily Lloyd's Book Lists
|Not Just Martin: Books on Civil Rights Struggles for Young Children (7 titles)
|Everyday Diversity in Picture Books (53 titles)
I use "everyday diversity" to mean books with diverse protagonists (nonwhite, or non-ablebodied, or with GLBTQ parents, etc) that are simply about playing in the snow or losing a tooth or cooking a meal--not focusing specifically on identity.
|Beginning Chapter Books for Animal Lovers (16 titles)
|Fables & Folktales: Simple Versions for Youngest Listeners (9 titles)
When you search for a fairy or folk tale, you'll often find umpteen retellings & modernizations & "fractured" versions in the library catalog. Here are my picks for which to choose when you want the plain, classic tale told simply enough for a preschooler. All have a good number of colorful illustrations and a simple, unembellished text.
|Colors! Lines! Shapes! Patterns! Art! (13 titles)
Great but simple picture books about artistic concepts, and making and appreciating glorious art.
|Beyond Junie B--More Beginning Chapter Books with Female Leads (13 titles)
Junie B, Clementine, Judy Moody, and Ivy & Bean are all pretty well-known. Here are some beginning chapter books starring girls you may not have met yet
|A Sprinkling of Spanish: Books in English with Spanish (15 titles)
These picture books are written mainly in English, but contain a great number of words in Spanish, making them ideal for younger kids who are learning Spanish and whose first language is English.
|Beginning Chapter Books Whose Lead Characters Are POC (18 titles)
Beginning chapter books that feature kids of color! Most of the below are part of a series, so if you like them, look for the others.

A list for Ada Lovelace Day, celebrating the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math.
|Storytime Favorites for Crowds (28 titles)
Whether you're a guest reader at your kid's preschool or a librarian with a large storytime attendance, these are my top choices for reading to large crowds of kids aged 2-5. Emphasis on elements of fun & surprise & moments of LOUD and
|Poetry & Rhymes for the Youngest--a list for National Poetry Month (15 titles)
Poems & rhymes to share with the youngest of children--what to read before you bring out the Shel Silverstein.
|Manners & Feelings & Social Skills (10 titles)
Convincing books for little ones learning social skills--not preachy or contrived, but ones kids can identify with. I'll keep adding to the list as I come across more.
|Like Captain Underpants? Here are More Funny Books That Mix Writing & Drawings (16 titles)
|GLBTQ- and Gender-Friendly Picture Books (18 titles)
Books that feature GLBTQ families, books that challenge stereotypical gender roles, etc.
|Clever Twisty Endings (picture books) (12 titles)
Books that are not TOO long or wordy, but are just long enough to feature a surprising plot twist at the end (that a 2-3-yr-old can grasp but a 6-yr-old can still appreciate).
|Emily Lloyd's Comments
|How the dinosaur got to the museum
by Hartland, Jessie.
Wonderfully-drawn, brilliantly-written, this supercool easy nonfiction book would be a great read-aloud before visiting a natural history museum (either individually or on a class field trip). It anticipates and satisfies kids' curiosity, and introduces not just the most well-known dino-related occupation (paleontologist), but all the others that contribute to the process of getting a dinosaur's bones to a museum, and reassembled and exhibited there (preparators, welders, curators, excavators, riggers, exhibits team, cleaners, etc). It's chock-full of great vocabulary words (stabilizes, restored, authenticated, acquisition, etc) and Hartland's bright, colorful illustrations will keep even audiences who aren't particularly into dinos (like myself) engaged where actual realistic photos might not have. Good stuff! posted Feb 2, 2014 at 10:41AM
|Little fish : a memoir from a different kind of year
by Ramsey Beyer
Doubt. Wistfulness. Growing consciousness. Growing confidence. Homesickness while at school, schoolsickness while at home. Actively trying to grow and carefully examining one's growth. Meeting people your age with convictions. Not having convictions yet. Deciding who you are and what you like. In a skillfully put-together book that feels effortlessly put-together (and includes many lists and blurbs from the zine she made when she was first beginning art school), Ramsey Beyer evokes the big weirdnesses and small wonderfulnesses of one's first year away from home and in school (in her case, art school, but more broadly, college). As an adult reader, it made me nostalgic--especially Beyer's cataloging of the seemingly mundane new traditions (weekly dates to pile into someone's room and watch The OC, getting Chinese from a restaurant called Eat Must Be First every Saturday) and experiments (let's all straighten our hair--even the boys--and take pictures on a lazy afternoon) with new friends that cumulatively add up to deeper levels of intimacy. I feel like I would've been interested in reading it if I could have before leaving for school--but I still need to recommend it to teens (it's marketed as a YA book) in that position and see how it speaks to them. The last page could not be more perfect. posted Feb 2, 2014 at 7:37AM
|Shrinking mouse
by Hutchins, Pat, 1942-
The perfect book for introducing perspective: a bunch of animal friends notice that when of them leaves their wood and travels across the field, she "shrinks"--and are very relieved that she grows "normal-sized" again upon her return. posted Dec 26, 2013 at 9:11AM
|The ugly duckling
by Isadora, Rachel.
A little long--though I haven't found a shorter retelling--but the language is nice and the illustrations are outstanding. In one spot, Isadora reserves a full two-page spread for a tiny bit of text--"At night the ugly duckling would cry himself to sleep"--beautifully capturing the loneliness, isolation, and sadness of the "duckling" who has far too much space to himself. posted Dec 23, 2013 at 7:52PM

Cousland Portrait by ~WickedRaven
This is my second Warden from Dragon Age. Krista Cousland.
I finished the painting… sort of. I see a million things I'd like to fix when I get to a tablet machine… Artists are a funny bunch like that. Anywhoo, I planned on drawing Alistair so this was just a warm up. Supposed to be anyway. We shall see.
Thought I might share with tumblr because… well why not? I hope I don't get anon hate or anything like that. >.< I don't know why I would. It just makes me nervous. <—- *social anxiety kicking in*
A little Cullen/Amell digital painting for my fellow Dragon Age tumblrites. ;)
I'd like to iron out fine details but this will have to do for now until I can get to a tablet. Grr, I need to buy a tablet pronto!… but I'm so poor. *cries and shakes fist at screen*
All righties, I'm off to bed. Enjoy the messiness of templar armor and hair. G'nite lovelies!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Seven decades ago, Harrison Wilson returned home from World War II with plans to take advantage of the GI Bill and attend the University of Kentucky, which was his first-choice college.
A talented student and athlete who had served his country for four years at war, Wilson was nonetheless denied admission.
But that's changing soon.
UK was an all-white school until 1949. Before that African-American students wanting to go there were simply turned away. One of them was Wilson.
Wilson was a star high school basketball and baseball player. Then, he served for four years in the U.S. Navy during WWII.
But, even with a victory overseas there were still many battles left here at home for Wilson and many doors that would remain shut.
"I'm not only doing it for him, but for a lot of people in that era who were not able to live out that kind of dream," Wilson's grandson, Brandon, said.
Brandon is graduating from UK with a masters in history.
He's attending at a time when the university boasts diversity and promise. To live up to this new image UK is awarding Harrison Wilson an honorary doctorate.
While his grandfather receives his honorary degree on Saturday, May 9. Brandon will also be receiving his masters, so the two will truly be able to share the moment.

(1891-1972). U.S. dancer, choreographer, and teacher Ted Shawn was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Shawn teamed with his wife, dancer Ruth Saint Denis, to form the Denishawn dance school. He later worked in the German modern dance movement and in 1933 formed a company of all-male dancers with the intent of lessening public disapproval of dancing by men. The troupe appeared in the United States and England. Shawn also founded the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, which is held annually in western Massachusetts. (See also dance.)

Many of the folks behind this site are now investing energy into the new:
In particular the United for Community Radio folks have all their slates candidates described there.
Check it out.
Reccomended sites for current information about KPFA including:
1. what's really behind the recall campaign against Tracy Rosenberg
2. deconstructing the recall petition
3. what are the real issues between the various factions
4. the financial status of the station
5. changes in the morning programming
6. the continuing battle for listener democracy
and others issues:
http://stopthekpfarecall.org ( the most comprehensive current info on KPFA issues)
Berkeley-After a slow motion buildup for several months, The Pacifica Foundation, the Berkeley-based 501(c)-3 not-for-profit organization that holds the licenses for five educational radio stations across the country and provides content for 150 affiliated stations, has finally moved to stanch financial bleeding at the network's Berkeley unit KPFA-FM by laying off 7-8 employees after posting a million dollar loss over the past two years.
Anita Johnson, co-founder of HardKnock Radio, and Adrienne Lauby, host of PushingLimits, are on Part 2.
*Why Budget Cuts?*
It's not surprising that the prospect of budget cuts and staff layoffs has evoked deep concern, even anger, among KPFA employees and listeners, but we can't let emotions and heated rhetoric obscure the fundamental facts of the situation. The station must reduce its staff headcount for one sad but simple reason: /there is no money to continue paying all current employees/, there are no reserves to cover the shortfall, and there's no possibility of making it up by cutting other expenses.
It's sad to see a KPFA Local Station Board election debate descend to lies and mudslinging. But that's what happened this year, with the "Save KPFA" group (known in previous elections as the "Concerned Listeners") making ridiculous accusations against the competing Independents for Community Radio (ICR) candidates. Save-KPFA also has somehow convinced reporters Mitch Jeserich and Aaron Glantz into repeating their party line, and even into slinging some mud as well.
by Sasha Futran
No, this isn't a plea for donations, although the crisis is monetary. It is for your involvement and vote for KPFA's board which needs to turn around KPFA's financial difficulties . . . or not.
Last week KPFA borrowed money from Pacifica, the foundation that owns it, and one of Pacifica's other four stations, to meet payroll. KPFA's board helped get us into this mess and now the board needs to get us out.
Reprinted from The Huffington Post : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tracy-rosenberg/towards-a-just-communicat_b_721826.html
I often hear, as a Pacifica Foundation board member that terrestrial radio in general and Pacifica radio in particular, is irrelevant.
I would make the case that anything that generates as much sound and fury as Pacifica has for the last 20 years cannot possibly be irrelevant.
Dear Beyond Chron Editors Shaw and Hogarth,
I'm truly disgusted with both of you, almost beyond words. The visual you chose has no connection to the slate you are endorsing and which is now confusing voters by running under another group's name. ("KPFA Election Will Decide Progressive Networks Future," 9/13/2010) Your use of a 1999 photo of a different group is beyond disingenuous.
To some observers, the broad protest movement that erupted this summer to defend Bay Area community radio station KPFA (94.1 FM) looked like a near riot. To others, the grassroots action that reversed the station's shutdown looked like the deliberate work of a well-organized and media-savvy coalition of professional activists. In reality, our movement--which drew in thousands of ordinary people, commanded front-page media attention, and won the support of celebrities and government officials--was neither pure chaos nor pure calculation.

This large collection of papers relating to the history of the Erickson family and the Faraway Ranch is divided into two sections. The first part consists of letters (written in Swedish and English), several diaries, news clippings published principally in Willcox and Bisbee, Arizona (containing items on the Ericksons), reports of Neil Erickson's work in the U.S. Forest Service, photographs of the family and ranch, and a wide assortment of data, including maps and books. The second part of this collection consists of data originated by Lillian Erickson Riggs and her husband, Ed Riggs, and includes such records dealing with the operation and management of Faraway Ranch, her reminiscences of early days, her personal letters and those of her husband's, and a wealth of photographs of the family and guests at Faraway Ranch. This section also contains Lillian's unpublished manuscript "Westward Into the Sun" (483 pp.). The Historic Structure Report, Historical Data Section, is largely based upon this collection. Without it, such a study would be almost impossible. Once the collection is carefully indexed, it will serve as a very useful tool for students of Southwestern History.

"There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience. I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries."

X-Men Anime. Coming Soon.
Personally, I've not been a fan of Marvel's previous jaunts into animated features just because they turn out to be fucking stupid fests. However, these new anime projects they've commissioned from Madhouse Studios have garnered my attentions. I've always enjoyed Japanese anime more than western efforts, if only because anime lends it's self beautifully to comic book style action.
I'm hopeful, and this first look tease at the X-men franchise could be promising. The other titles being developed for anime are Blade, Wolverine and Iron Man and all are said to be under the watchful gaze of Warren Ellis.
"The X-Men are reunited following the death of a teammate, and are summoned by Charles Xavier to Japan following the abduction of Hisako Ichiki (Armor). There, they confront the U-Men, a lunatic cult that steals and transplants mutant organs to further strengthen their own army, and the battle for justice is on".

Excellent location and friendly staff
Excellent environment and extremely friendly staff. Beach was awesome and condo was very accomodating. 5 Stars !!!!
Fantastic Vacation and Condo
Pleased to report our family of 6 adults had an enjoyable stay for a week plus at the Grandview. There are not enough flowery objectives I can write to describe this particular property other than beautifully furnished, spacious, well-maintained, prime location, etc. to name a select few. With the beach being a short walk away, the spotless white sand and picture-perfect vista from the unit's balcony, it is hard to imagine a more relaxing and breathtaking place to spend a vacation. We were so impressed with our first visit to TCI and the Grandview we have already made plans to return to the same condo next year. Without reservation, I strongly recommend the Grandview to any future vacationer. One of the many highlights was meeting the Owner of the unit who happened to be visiting TCI during our stay. He went well beyond was necessary or expected in accommodating our family by providing his personal snorkeling gear, CD collection, iPod docking station, etc. and even went as far as providing transportation with his personal vehicle in accepting our invitation to dine with our family. His character, warm and friendly demeanor, keen sense of humor will fondly be remembered by all. If you have any questions or concerns relative to a stay at the Grandview (particularly the 3rd Floor penthouse unit), please contact the Owner who is authorized to relay my email to any prospective renters. I assure you, you will treasure the luxury and convenience of this property and a vacation beyond expectations.
Our stay at the Ocean Club was perfect!
Our stay at the Ocean Club was perfect. The photos and videos of the hotel and the unit were exactly as described. Everything that you read about Turks and Caicos especially the pictures of the water are 100 – percent accurate. The owner was great via email and even answered questions when we arrived. With that said, this resort is the place to stay if you are looking for a calm relaxed time at the beach. It was never loud or rowdy has a perfect beach and two pools. The best benefit to me and why I selected it was the screened porch. NO BUGS! We did not have to fight for beach chairs as we often stayed up for a later swim as the pools were lit and got up enjoyed the (enclosed wrap around balcony) for breakfast. Then hit the beach around 11ish where there were still plenty of chairs available. The balcony has a partial view of the first pool, no ocean view and near the front of the resort, which was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped utensils, electric stove and dishwasher which we utilized for breakfast (the property has a small store to purchase the necessary items). I will say we found the prices for most items in the store expensive but hey you're on vacation. We did get the tip from frequent Turks travelers to get your alcohol from behind security at duty free in the US (if you're coming from here… as that was pretty pricey in all Turks stores.) Dinner on the property at the pool bar and the fine dining restaurant were great as they had daily specials to select from so there was some variety and I did not find it to be pricey. Next door to OC was a cute little local spot called Flamingos with a great view of the ocean and sunset and killer rum punch. We were considered by the hotel members of the "rental program", so we did not have access to the daily housekeeping service; however we never felt the need for it. The hotel was also pretty picky about us not using the bike rentals, but once we realized that we could actually walk down the beach to get to anything we wanted including the Ocean Club West and the large shopping plaza we were all set. Overall this place was a gem and I would recommend and if we travel to Turks will stay here again.
