TUF-Line XP 130lb x 150yd Yellow
TUF-Line XP 130lb x 150yd Yellow
Aerospace enhanced braided fishing line.
Aerospace technology has been utilized to produce our TUF-Line XP fishing line. Tension Lock Technology TUF-Line XP is braided under high tension, creating more compaction of the fibers during the finishing process and a rounder profile than competitive lines. TUF-Line XP is more compact, smaller in diameter, packs better on reels, offers better knot performance, casts longer, reduces rod tip wraps, and boasts higher abrasion resistance. TUF-Line XPs state-of-the-art coating remains permanently bonded to the fibers, offering an incredibly long service life with zero shedding.
TUF-Line XP is available in White, Green, Yellow Red, and Blue.
Tuf-Line offers an incredible strength and diameter advantage over monofilament lines. When choosing a Tuf-Line to replace a monofilament line, it's usually best to choose a Tuf-Line with comparative diameter to the monofilament. This might mean replacing 12-pound monofilament with 50-pound Tuf-Line. The benefit to this approach is maintaining similar handling characteristics to what's currently comfortable. Sure, that's incredibly strong, and yes, your days of breaking off fish and lures may be over. The area where this is not the case is in applications like offshore fisheries, where you may use a comparative strength Tuf-Line to the monofilament you've previously used in order to gain substantial line capacity on your reel. Another area might be one in which Tuf-Lines diameter advantage is used to dramatically increase casting distance, as in bank or surf fishing.

Preparation for 8th grade exams
Tonight I came across a workbook, Using Arithmetic in Everyday Life, that I had in elementary school. The workbook dates from my 8th grade year, 1964-65.
Our teacher was getting us ready for our 8th grade exams, and she wanted to be sure we could do story problems. This arithmetic workbook has 126 pages, and except for the explanations and examples, it is entirely story problems. I'm sure I found the problems tedious to solve -- they often involved two or more steps.
This book, Using Arithmetic in Everyday Life, was published by the Warp Publishing Company of Minden, Nebraska, and copyrighted in 1942 and 1957. Everyday life in Nebraska, for many students in those years, was spent on a farm or ranch. The author acknowledges that fact with word problems like these:
Suppose your father should test his seed corn and find that 12 out of 72 grains did not sprout. What percent sprouted? If he should plant 45 acres with this seed, how many acres of this field would not have any corn on them?
Mr. White's corn yielded 50 bushels per acre. He sold one third of the corn through a commission agent who charged 3%. If corn were $1.25 per bushel, what was the agent's commission. How much did Mr. White receive?
No authors are mentioned on the workbook's title page, but when I searched for "Warp's Review Books", I saw that Harold and Ruth Warp of Minden, Nebraska, are credited for writing earlier (1929-1930) workbooks. Student workbooks were available for 17 different topics in 1931, and the Teacher's Examination Review Books covered another 20 areas of study.
The primary goal of the Warp Review Books was to prepare students for the 8th grade exams. That's why they were written, and that's why our teacher had us doing arithmetic problems in one of them.
The 8th grade exam was still a big deal in Rock County, Nebraska in 1965 when I took it. The newspaper always carried a photo of the two top-scoring students with their teachers. (This was as much an honor for the teachers as for the students!)
I tried hard on the test, but the top glory that year went to Curtis Ratliff and his teacher, whoever she was, at the Bassett Elementary School. I don't remember who had the second-highest score. I had the third highest score, so the extra practice in the Warp's arithmetic book may have helped me. I just should have done a few more pages!

Marcel Hirscher wins worlds slalom at home in Austria
SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher won the men's slalom title Sunday on the last day of the skiing world championships for his first individual gold medal at a major event.
Cheered loudly by a home crowd of 35,000, the Austrian overcame the pressure of expectation to earn the host nation its second gold of the worlds, after the mixed team event.
Hirscher held onto his first-run lead to finish in a combined time of 1 minute, 51.03 seconds. Felix Neureuther of Germany was 0.41 seconds back in second. Hirscher and Neureuther are also 1-2 in the World Cup discipline standings.
Two-time former champion Mario Matt of Austria took third, 0.65 behind.
"It's awesome," Hirscher said. "I forced myself to think, `There's nothing at stake, it's just ski racing, it's just a game.' That helped me to handle the pressure. The atmosphere was sensational, super. I had to be careful not to blow it all for them."
Hirscher missed the 2011 worlds because of a broken foot. On Thursday, he injured his back and neck during training but finished second to Ted Ligety in GS the next day and followed it up with Sunday's win. It was the 14th gold in slalom for Austria.
His father and coach, Ferdinand Hirscher, called it "a wonderful day."
"It was very tense as we had to change something on the setup of his boots this morning," Ferdinand said. "But Marcel always stays cool. He tries not to think about titles and championships. He just concentrates on the information the coaches are giving him before a run."
Italian great Alberto Tomba said the Austrian's achievement was "super, super."
"I said three days ago, Marcel is going to win," said Tomba, the 1996 world slalom champion. "It's super he's done it. Felix and Mario were also great."
Ligety, a three-time champion, failed to finish when the American lost his balance and his left boot clicked out of the bindings 15 seconds into his run.
Olympic winner Giuliano Razzoli of Italy skied out on the bottom part in his first run, and defending world champion Jean-Baptiste Grange of France finished 2.43 off the lead in 12th place.
Neureuther, who trailed Hirscher by 0.28 after the first run, won his first individual medal at a major competition.
"It's fantastic," Neureuther said. "I usually try to hide my emotions but I can't do that now. I've finally done what I've tried to do many times before at big events. I am really happy and proud."
Neureuther helped Germany win bronze in the team event. Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who won the women's super-combined title, added two more medals for Germany.
"Everybody was talking about this duel: Marcel vs. Felix - and that's what it was," Neureuther said. "I just tried to avoid the mistakes I made at other championships."
Matt won the world slalom title in 2001 at home and again in 2007. He led the race briefly after a strong second run but was overtaken by both Neureuther and Hirscher.
"You have to fully attack but avoid making it a useless run," Matt said. "I lost a bit of time with a small mistake on the bottom, but I have to be satisfied with bronze."
The course caused many racers problems as mild temperatures softened the top layer of snow.
"The snow felt weird," Hirscher said, and Neureuther added it was "extremely difficult to gain speed on this course. You just don't get the right feeling on it."
Ligety's attempt to win a fourth medal failed shortly after starting his first run.
"I just kind of made a mistake," Ligety said. "I wanted to go really hard forward on the ski and I just peeled it right out of the back of the binding."
Ligety, who also captured the super-G and super-combined titles, could have equaled the 45-year record held by French great Jean-Claude Killy, who won four golds in 1968.
Ligety helped the United States top the medals table, even without Lindsey Vonn, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opening race. Mikaela Shiffrin added another gold in the women's slalom, and Julia Mancuso took bronze in super-G.
"It was an awesome world champs," Ligety said. "Of course it was a bummer to go out in the slalom. I just had the ski peel off again, which has been happening this year ... I feel pretty good for the most part. I'm not at the level of consistency of Hirscher or Felix, but I still feel like I have good speed relative to those guys. I just don't put together runs like those guys do."
Ligety's teammates David Chodounsky and Will Brandenburg also failed to finish the opening run.

Troop Information
- Calendar:
Boy Scout Troop 27 is in the North Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America. Our charter organization is CrossRoads UMC CrossRoads Church UMC Google Map, 10005 Gate Parkway North, Jacksonville, FL. Troop meetings are held on Monday nights from 7pm to 8:30pm. Please check our calendar for specific meeting dates and times.
The meetings are run by the Scouts themselves under the guidance of trained adult leaders. Parents are welcome to visit a troop meeting anytime and are expected to help out as requested by the Troop Committee. Parents, Scout Leaders and the youth work together through the Eight Methods of Scouting.
Troop 27 was first chartered in 2001. Since that time, 25 dedicated boys have earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
The Troop is primarily an outdoor activity Troop. Between September and May (generally following the school calendar), we camp once monthly - some "bring everything" type events and others backpacking, "pack-only-what-you-can-carry". We participate in several District Events (we are part of the Riverbend District) - including their main blowout - the CAMPOREE held every January.
Our Troop goes to a summer camp each year. At camp the first year Scouts can earn many of the requirements for most of the first three ranks. The older Scouts can concentrate on the earning of Merit Badges or take in a high adventure program. They typically sleep in two man canvas tents that are set-up on wood platforms. Scouts eat in the mess hall and swim in the camp lakes.
Our Troop has been to all 3 National High Adventure Bases.
Philmont Scout Ranch - 2007
Florida Sea Base - 2006,2009,2012
Northern Tier - 2008,2011,2013
This is the ultimate in an outdoor camping adventure for not only the Scout, but for the Leaders, too.
We take canoe trips in the summer/fall time and hike/backpack in the winter/spring.
Troop 27 is an active Troop with a dynamic year round program. We are one of the largest troops in our District and pride ourselves on delivering a quality troop program. We believe in providing the youth with challenging opportunities and High Adventure trips that encompass the aims and methods of Scouting. Our current membership exceeds 50 youth (ages 10 1/2 to 17) and 25+ registered leaders. When a boy joins the Troop, we welcome the entire family as well. Many parents find themselves having as much fun as the Scouts!
Please refer to our Adult Leaders page (also link under "Troop Information" at right) for our current leader's list with contact information - phone numbers, email, etc.
Troop 27 was established in 2001 by Scoutmaster Kevin Pryor after his son advanced from a local Cub Scout Pack. Kevin served as our Scoutmaster as his son and several boys made their way to Eagle. Afterwards, he turned the leadership of the Troop over to our 2nd Scoutmaster, Ron Fish. Ron was a dedicated leader for several years and 8 boys achieved the rank of Eagle during his tenure. Our third Scoutmaster was Dave Albers. Under his leadership our Troop added another six Eagles. The fourth Scoutmaster was Ken Grula who continued the tradition of adding Eagles and growing the Troop. Paul Hubert served as our fifth Scoutmaster from 1/12/12 to 2/24/14 leading the troop on nearly every camp out during his tenure. Darrin Willingham served as our sixth Scoutmaster from 2/24/14 to 1/25/16 taking the troop to new heights at Camporee. Today, our current Scoutmaster is Rex Setzer beginning 1/25/16 with a new emphasis on the Patrol Method in a back to the basics approach to give the scouts more leadership experience. Our Eagle Scout Honor Roll can be found here.

If you were concerned about the legacy of "The Thin Man" being shown the proper respect, it sounds like this project is souring fast.
Billy Ray ("State of Play", "Shattered Glass") has been hired to take a crack at the script for "The Thin Man," according to The Hollywood Reporter. He follows in the footsteps of Jerry Stahl ("Permanent Midnight", "Bad Boys II") and David Koepp ("Angels & Demons", "Ghost Town").
We're huge "Thin Man" fans, and Depp's a great choice (if you just have to remake this film). But Depp's choice of Rob Marshall to direct gave us pause (pause turned to rage after we saw "On Stranger Tides"), and the fact that the project is now on its third screenwriter makes us very nervous. But what was even more disheartening was the news that Marshall wants to ad a couple of musical numbers and give it "a Sherlock Holmes-like stylized treatment."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
So we've got the director of one of 2011's worst films looking to shoehorn musical numbers into a classic film, they're on writer #3, and the star has said he works so his kids can have money--'tis an ill wind that blows no good.
Last week Depp signed on for a Dr. Seuss biopic, and can next be seen Oct. 28 in "The Rum Diary," based on the Hunter S. Thompson novel about an American journalist living in Puerto Rico during the late '50s.


text: Anyone have/used one? Thinking of getting one, as they seem more comfortable to use. We are right next to paved nature trails so could go right into several towns without any traffic until we get there. I am wondering about how easy to transport stuff on one too, like a couple bags of groceries.

WARSAW: Today the Australian state of Tasmania announced it will aim for 100% renewable energy by 2020, days after committing to join The Climate Group as one of our States and Regions members during COP19 in Warsaw.
The Tasmanian Government's new plan to help combat and adapt to climate change, Climate Smart Tasmania: A 2020 Climate Change Strategy, sets a target for Tasmania to be using renewable energy for 100% of its power needs by 2020 -- and exporting the surplus. The plan also includes a new interim 2020 target to reduce carbon emissions to 35% below 1990 levels.
The plan was unveiled by Cassy O'Connor, Climate Change Minister, Tasmanian Government, who said: "It's the most comprehensive plan by any Australian Government to reduce carbon emissions and help communities adapt to a changing climate, built on more than a year of careful research and consultation. With a climate denialist government in Canberra determined to wind back Australia's efforts to reduce emissions, it's more important than ever that Tasmania shows leadership. We're already making great progress.
"Our leadership on climate action was recognized last week at the UN Climate Talks in Warsaw, where Tasmania was accepted into the prestigious global non-profit, The Climate Group. Warsaw delegates heard about Tasmania's clean Hydro power, protected carbon rich forests and heavy focus on energy efficiency for households. From today, with the Climate Smart strategy for 2020, that effort goes up a notch."
Last week Tasmania was formally confirmed as a member of the The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance at a side-event at COP19, where sub-national government members set out the high levels of ambition and actions that are already reducing emissions and supporting low carbon development in their respective regions. At the event, discussion was focused on leveraging the leadership of states and regions to encourage and support greater ambition by national governments.
"Our admission to The Climate Group is a strong endorsement of the Tasmanian Government's action to reduce emissions and protect our community's future," Cassy O'Connor, stated. "Tasmania's membership of The Climate Group is an opportunity to work with a coalition of states, cities, companies and public figures to further enhance our clean, green, low-carbon brand."
In welcoming Tasmania to it States and Regions network, The Climate Group recognizes that:
Libby Ferguson, States and Regions Director, The Climate Group, welcomes the new membership: "We endorse the leadership shown by the Tasmanian Government, which is not only setting ambitious targets but also implementing substantial programs to reduce emissions, promote energy efficiency and boost renewable energy. The Tasmanian Government joins an Alliance of some of the largest and most ambitious States and Regions globally, who consistently demonstrate, through firm commitments and action on the ground, that low carbon development is possible and prosperous. We welcome Tasmania to the States and Regions Alliance of The Climate Group and look forward to working with Tasmania to support their low carbon ambition."

If the AK trade rumors are true….
I'll….I'll….whatever I'll do, it'll be drastic and overreactionary and it'll be on you, Kevin O'Connor and Greg Miller.
Andrei needs to retire as a Jazz man. #47 needs to be hanging in the rafters of the ESA one day.
Please don't rip out my heart like this.
Now, excuse me while I go hit things.
(The existence of the rumors alone is enough to make me scream…like the most annoying baby you've ever had the misfortune of encountering…on a plane…in the seat next to you…on a long distance flight…when you're sick or hungover.)
Jazzy Girl permalinkSeptember 25, 2010 2:30 pm
I can't lose AK! He needs to retire a Jazz Man! He wants to retire a Jazz Man!
The only one to blame is the idiot who came up with his contract 5 years ago! The Jazz never wanted to pay someone 17 mill for one year.

The strangest aspect of post-Sandy Hook hysteria is the controversy over a New York newspaper that published a map showing the names and addresses of people who own guns. The paper's purpose was unclear; apparently it thought that the gun owners would be embarrassed, or that those who do not yet own firearms might be deterred from buying one by the fear that they too could be "outed." In some contexts, such concerns could be well founded. Via InstaPundit, we learn that prison inmates are using the Journal News map to threaten guards and their families:
Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked by other county officials, said the Journal News' decision to post an online map of names and addresses of handgun owners Dec. 23 has put law enforcement officers in danger.
"They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said, according to Newsday.
Of course, there are advantages to having your home identified as one occupied by a gun owner, too: it serves as a warning to burglars and other would-be criminals to go elsewhere. This is one reason why I have been happy to describe my own experiences with firearms and occasionally post photos of some of my better efforts at the range. One of my neighbors is a big game hunter whose living room is decorated with the heads of African animals. He owns firearms that make "assault rifles" look like toys. Personally, I would consider it a good thing if the criminal element believed that my whole neighborhood is heavily armed.
But here's the thing: can you imagine another context in which anyone would think it appropriate to publish a map showing the names and addresses of residents, along with any information about them? Suppose a newspaper published a map that identified all the homes where no adult male lives, so that thieves and rapists would know just where to go. Or a map showing how many television sets belong to each homeowner. Or how about automobiles? The Department of Motor Vehicles collects information about the automobiles that belong to each household. Can you imagine the outcry if a newspaper obtained that information from the DMV and published an online map identifying by name and address the occupants of each house, and describing by make and model all of their motor vehicles? That, too, could be of great value to thieves, but beyond that, is there anyone who wouldn't consider such an act an outrageous invasion of privacy?
And yet somehow, the liberals who publish the Journal News thought it was perfectly acceptable to publish a map identifying local gun owners, with names and addresses. The fact that anyone tries to defend this action illustrates how the mere thought of a firearm sends some people around the bend.
Meanwhile, every day brings new reminders that, no matter what newspaper editorial boards may believe, you are better off if your family is one of the ones protected by firearms. From Loganville, Georgia:
A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.
The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m.
It's interesting: I always think of break-ins as occurring in the middle of the night, but it is amazing how many take place in the middle of the day.
The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.
But the man eventually found the family.
"The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh.
The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved.
If she had been using a semiautomatic pistol with a decent sized magazine, she wouldn't have run out of bullets. But the story ended happily anyway. The key always is, not just to possess a gun, but to know how to use it.
UPDATE: Former burglars confirm that the Journal News did criminals a great service:
"That was the most asinine article I've ever seen," said Walter T. Shaw, 65, a former burglar and jewel thief who the FBI blames for more than 3,000 break-ins that netted some $70 million in the 1960s and 1970s. "Having a list of who has a gun is like gold – why rob that house when you can hit the one next door, where there are no guns? …
"They just created an opportunity for some crimes to be committed and I think it's exceptionally stupid," said Bob Portenier, 65, a former burglar and armed house robber turned crime prevention consultant.
Professional burglars are always looking for an edge, and like most folks, they read the paper, said Portenier. …
While some burglars may use the newspaper's information to avoid guns, Portenier said others will target homes with guns. The newspaper's decision could even lead to legally-owned guns proliferating on the street, he said.
"That's one of the first things we'd check out—guns are on the top of the list of what you want to steal," he said. "They can walk out with a shotgun and a couple of handguns and sell them on the street for $300 or $400 a pop. They can sell them to a gangbanger who ends up killing someone."
Frank Abagnale, who was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2002 film "Catch Me if You Can," and is perhaps the most famous reformed thief to ever earn a legitimate living by offering the public insight into the criminal mind, called the newspaper's actions "reprehensible."
"It is unbelievable that a newspaper or so called journalist would publish the names and addresses of legal gun owners, including federal agents, law enforcement officers and the like," said Abagnale, who noted that he grew up in the suburban New York area served by the Journal-News. "This would be equivalent to publishing the names of individuals who keep substantial sums of money, jewelry and valuables in their home."
And from St. Paul comes another heartwarming story of self-defense, which reminds us that pink is only a color. Actually, these women sound formidable enough that they may have been able to dispatch the intruder even without a firearm:
A man whose burglary of a St. Paul home was foiled by two women and a pink-handled handgun was sentenced Friday, Jan. 4, to nearly 11 years in prison.
Described by his own attorney as a "career criminal," Marty Mark Childs has at least nine prior felony convictions, including residential burglary, theft and attempted escape. …
[Rebecca Larson, 56] went in the house to get something and saw Childs in the kitchen standing next to her open purse. "What the hell are you doing in my home?" she said, according to the criminal complaint against Childs.
He held a wad of crumpled cash toward her, saying, "Here's your money back. The cops sent me." He tried to leave, pushing Larson's chest to get away, but she pushed him back and locked the door.
She then yelled to her daughter, "Get your gun."
Hickman picked up her Taurus 9 mm handgun, which had pink grips, and came into the kitchen. She saw her mother struggling with Childs. Larson forced him to the floor "where he remained at gunpoint until police arrived and arrested him," the complaint said.
Childs told police that one of the women put her foot behind his neck and kneeled on his back when he was on the floor — pinning him down. …
The victims, who sat in court wearing pink tops, said through a statement read by a prosecutor that the incident robbed them of their sense of safety in their home.
As I say, a heartwarming story for the holiday season. And note that, as in the vast majority of cases, it wasn't necessary to fire the gun for it to be an effective tool of self-defense.

Oh blessed be! My thrice hourly checks have finally paid off! The interminable days are now going to be ever so marginally less interminable.
The question is do I open my browser and check as soon as I get to my desk - or do I delay until the afternoon to give me encouragement and hope for a brighter, better future and so then I may actually do some of the work I am sort of paid for?!
Maybe I should just go and Youtube a fluffy cat instead...

Fantastic doodle. More than absurdly delighted with the thought of it being December and the possibility that they might be daily doodles. I'm really hoping that means there will be placeholders and some of them will rival the actual post for brilliance.

When Useless Joel reappeared in Red-Handed (could he reappear, never having appeared in WYSINNWYG? Having been mentioned in it, anyway), I wondered whether there were any other cross-references, but I have been unable to spot any.
I had a moment of wondering whether, like The Sound and the Fury, the final Act might reveal some overarching unifying plot!
Still great fun, though.

But a fired-up England cut loose in the second half to run over for four tries through Bristol's Poppy Cleall, London Irish's Alexandra Matthews, Saracens' Hannah Gallagher and Worcester's Georgia Peedle.
The victory hands England a 100 percent record this season after wins over France and Scotland also.
England opened the scoring through Cleall who touched down for the opening try after just seven minutes. Emily Scott failed with the conversion but made amends when she added a penalty to hand England an early 8-0 lead.
But Wales, who have only been together as a group for a month compared to England who have been together most of the season, hit back. England were turned over in their 22 and Wales moved the ball out into the midfield for captain Sian Williams to run in and score.
England had both Amy Wilson-Hardy and Cleall sent to the sin-bin and Wales made them pay a heavy price. Wales took a quick tap penalty and centre Rachel Rees showed great footwork to hoodwink the England defence and ran in to score. With Leung converting Wales took the 8-12 lead at the break.
After a good talking too at the break, England stepped up the pace and used their bench to good effect. Cleall went over for her second of the afternoon but Wales regained the lead with a 51st minute try after an impressive solo effort from fullback Rosie Fletcher. With Leung converting the visitors led 13-19.
England rang the changes with Matthews, Gallagher and Peedle taking to the field. Matthews crashed over the try line after just three minutes of being on the field before Gallagher touched down under the posts on 62 minutes. With Scott adding the conversion England led 25-19.
Peedle then gave the final score line a flattering look when she touched down to seal the victory for England.
Despite the defeat against more experienced opposition, Wales definitely showed the future looks bright with Fletcher in particular impressing at full back.
Wales team manager Sara Davies, said: "It was a great effort by the girls considering we have only been together for a month. The worst thing for us is the fact that we could have won the match, there is no doubt they [England] were worried about losing their unbeaten record.
"The match proved there is some good talent coming through the system and with the next World Cup three years away, these first building blocks are building some firm foundations for the future."
Wales U20s 15 Rosie Fletcher (Gorseinon), 14 Cerys Ballett (Cardiff Quins), 13 Rachel Rees (Gorseinon), 12 Rebecca de Filippo (Neath Athletic), 11 Rhianydd Morgan (Neath Athletic), 10 Yasmin Leung (UWIC), 9 Joanne Jones (Cardiff Quins), 1 Natalie Stone (Pontyclun), 2 Carys Rhiannon (Thomas Pontyclun), 3 Ffion Jones (Whitland), 4 Alex Stokes (Neath Athletic), 5 Delyth Davies (Neath Athletic), 6 Sian Williams (Bath), 8 Carys Phillips (Neath Athletic), 7 Nia Davies (Whitland).
Replacements: 16 Rhiannon Sheen de Jesus (UWIC), 17 Chloe Howells (Whitland), 18 Catherine Davies (Whitland), 19 Catrin Rees (Carmarthen Quins), 20 Kirsty Prosser (Gwernyfed), 21 Jodie Evans (Kidwelly), 22 Naomi Whybrow (Cross Keys).

The main reason for joining a gym was to maintain a strong knee after ACL reconstruction and rehabilitation. I knew that knee strength would be an important part of my routine. My right hamstrings were weakened after surgery because the surgeon used two hamstring tendons to reconstruct my ACL. My right leg was noticeable weaker than my left leg. The trainer suggested I perform hamstring curls with my right leg only. I worked my right leg and exercised using both legs. My right leg slowly increased strength.
Last week, I was using the hamstring curl machine and out of curiosity tested my left hamstring. I was shocked. My left hamstring was considerably weaker than my right hamstring. I am now using the machine to build up my left (non-surgical leg). How did I let this happen? I am certain I would have realized this sooner if I continued to chart my progress.
I was curious about the relationship between the quadriceps, hamstring, strength ratios and knee injuries. I found an excellent article Weak in the Knees by Krista Scott-Dixon Ph.D. She discusses many risk factors but this one caught my eye.
Strength ratios. Women tend to have stronger quadriceps relative to their hamstrings, which may decrease the hamstrings' ability to stabilize the knees. The general recommendation for a healthy hamstring-to-quadricep strength ratio is for the hamstring to be at least 60 percent – and ideally closer to 80 percent – as strong as the quad.So back to the gym I go....
New Goals for 2010:
Balance out the strength of my right and left leg.
Calculate and improve my quadricep / hamstring strength ratio.
Tuesday Tip: Be aware of the quadricep / hamstring strength ratio for knee strength and injury prevention.

Hi everyone!
"We Were @" music is made of several sample loops, chained in real time depending of loading time, effect sync etc. Anyway I did a standalone version very close to the demo. It's made from the original loops from Clawz so it's 44Khz, 16bits stereo ( Atari version is downsampled to 8bits, 12Khz )
Original full quality (16bits, 44Khz)
And for real atari fans, I did an YM version too! (8bits, 12Khz)

Let $M,B$ be $R$-modules, and suppose we're given an n-extension $E_1\to\dots\to E_n$ of $B$ by $M$, that is, an exact sequence $$0\to M\to E_1\to\dots\to E_n \to B\to 0.$$
A morphism of $n$-extensions of $Y$ by $X$ is defined to be a hammock
$$\begin{matrix} &&A_1&\to&A_2&\to&A_3&\to&\ldots&\to &A_{n-2}&\to &A_{n-1}&\to& A_{n}&&\\ &\nearrow&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&\searrow&\\ X&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&Y\\ &\searrow&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\downarrow&\nearrow&\\ &&B_1&\to&B_2&\to&B_3&\to&\ldots&\to &B_{n-2}&\to &B_{n-1}&\to& B_{n}&&\end{matrix}$$
This detetermines a category $n\operatorname{-ext}(Y,X)$. Further, we're given an almost-monoidal sum on this category given by taking the direct sum of exact sequences, then composing the first and last maps with the diagonal and codiagonal respectively. Taking connected components, we're left with a set $ext^n(Y,X)$, and the sum reduces to an actual sum on the connected components, which turns $ext^n(Y,X)$ into an abelian group (and therefore an $R$-module).
It's well known that these functors, called Yoneda's Ext functors are isomorphic to the Ext functors $\pi_n(\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}(sM,sN))$ where $\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}(sM,sN)$ is the homotopy function complex between the constant simplicial $R$-modules $sM$ and $sN$ (obtained by means of cofibrant replacement of $sM$ in the projective model structure, fibrant replacement of $sN$ in the injective model structure, or by any form of Dwyer-Kan simplicial localization (specifically the hammock localization)).
In a recent answer, Charles Rezk mentioned that we can compute this in the case $n=1$ as $\pi_0(\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}(sM,sN[1]))$, where $sN[1]$ is the simplicial $R$-module with homotopy concentrated in degree $n$ equal to $N$. That is, these are exactly the maps $M\to N[1]$ in the derived category.
It was also mentioned that for the case $n=1$, there exists a universal exact sequence in the derived category: $$0\to N\to C\to N[1]\to 0$$ where $C$ is weakly contractible such that every extension of $N$ by $M$ arises as $$N\to M\times^h_{N[1]} C\to QM,$$ which is $\pi_0$-short exact. (And QM is a cofibrant replacement of $M$, for obvious reasons).
Why can we get $\pi_1$ of the function complex by looking at maps into $N[1]$? At least on the face of it, it seems like we would want to look at maps into $N[-1]$, that is, look at maps into the "loop space", not the "suspension" (scare quotes because these are the loop and suspension functors in $sR\operatorname{-Mod}$, not in $sSet$.
What is this this "universal extension" $$0\to N\to C\to N[1]\to 0$$ at the level of simplicial modules?
Is there a similar "universal extension" for $n>1$? If so, what does it (one of its representatives) look like at the level of simplicial modules?
Given an $n$-extension $\sigma$ of $B$ by $M$, how can we produce a morphism in the derived category $B\to M[n]$ that generates an $n$-extension in the same connected component of $n\operatorname{-ext}(B,M)$?
Lastly, since Yoneda's construction of Ext looks suspiciously like Dwyer and Kan's hammock localization, and there is homotopy theory involved in the other construction, I was wondering if there was any connection between the two. That is, I was wondering if there is another construction of Ext using DK-localization directly that shows why Yoneda's construction works.

About Merissa Mathes:
Helping to make June days all the more rare in California this spring is a bucolic beauty named Merissa Mathes, a budding actress and this month's cycling Playmate. During workdays auburn-haired Merissa is strictly a city girl, absorbed in thesping studies — but weekends she likes to go on a spin through the countryside for sunny sessions of away-from-home homework. A graduate of Santa Monica City College, our 22-year-old scene stealer admits to a fondness for exotic food, ghost towns and windy nights in San Francisco; she also harbors hopes of becoming a dramatic success (her recent role calls include local theater productions and a part in the flick The Phantom Planet.
While waiting out the big break, Merissa lives the life of an L.A. bachelor girl, reads avidly (Ian Fleming's James Bond series), cooks up a storm (specialty: veal scaloppine) and dates a number of her understandably enthusiastic admirers.

Villa Windu Sari necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 962 diseños de 98 diseñadores freelance.
Villa Windu Sari
Villa Windu Sari in a private villa located in Seminyak Bali. The villa is about to receive a small "face-lift" to eliminate a few minor flaws in the original construction. Details about the villa can be found at <http://www.villawindusari.com>. There is also a Villa Windu Sari Facebook group.
This project aims to ensure that the public face of Villa Windu Sari in the form of its' logo is as up to date as its' physical facilities.
The principle target audience for villas in Bali is international tourists looking for luxury private accommodation for small groups of friends or family. The villa accommodates up to four couples on a group exclusivity basis.
Potential guests are typically looking for a special "Bali experience" in the tropical paradise on "the Island of the Gods". Bali has a sense of mystic which is hinted at in the Villa Windu Sari theme statement ... "a beautiful place in time".
Secondary markets for the villa services are sales agents who promote villas to potential guests and well off local Indonesian tourists.
This project aims to build on the developing image of Villa Windu Sari. The upgrades to the logo should make it stronger and more unique, while retaining the existing tone. A depiction of the present logo can be seen on the banner on the <http://www.villawindusari.com> website.
The new logo should be suitable for use on the website (refer to existing application), as well as on business cards, letterhead, brochures and print media.
Versions should be provided with the "Villa Windu Sari" logo on a stand alone basis and in conjunction with the villa theme statement ... "Villa Windu Sari ... a beautiful place in time".
There is flexibility to present the word "Villa" in a different font style to "Windu Sari" ... we have an open mind about this point.
The final designs are to include full colour and font specifications.

The 2011 annual report for the Committee for Pastoral Practice is available here. This committee is charged with the important tasks of identifying the different answers the various jurisdictions have given to sacramental and pastoral problems, and for figuring out a way to provide a single answer for all of the Orthodox churches in North America. This includes such issues as how the Church handles marriages, divorces, and the reception of converts. This committee will try to find a resolution that is in accord with the Church's theology and her canonical practice. Ultimately, however, this committee will not make any decisions. Its proposals will be presented to all the bishops of the Assembly, who can then determine the best approach. Of course, some of these issues can only be settled by the Mother Churches, and it is this committee's responsibility to help the Assembly develop recommendations for the expected Great and Holy Synod which will include all Orthodox bishops throughout the world.
In addition, the Committee for Legal Affairs, which is chaired by Bishop Daniel of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, held its initial meeting by conference call on April 25, 2012. The work of the Committee is being facilitated by seventeen judges and lawyers who currently act as consultants. The Committee is scheduled to hold a face to face meeting in Atlanta on July 10, 2012.

ETSU one of 148 NCAA schools with both programs recognized, men ranked No. 3 in team GPA
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Nov. 16, 2012) – For the second year in a row, both the ETSU men's and women's soccer teams received the NSCAA Team Academic Award, with the association releasing its 2011-12 award winners late Thursday.
The men's team was awarded for the first time in 2010-11, and followed up with its second straight by posting a team GPA of 3.43, the third highest GPA in the country. The ETSU men's GPA outshined that from schools such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Duke, and marks the second consecutive year in which it has ranked its GPA inside the nation's top 25. The Lady Bucs have been honored seven times since 2002, and received their fourth consecutive team award by posting a 3.35 cumulative GPA. To be recognized, a program must carry a team GPA of 3.0 or better.
With both squads taking in the honor, ETSU was named as one of 150 NCAA member institutions who had both its men's and women's teams make the list. Out of the Atlantic Sun Conference, a total of five schools – ETSU, Jacksonville, Mercer, Stetson and USC Upstate – had both the men's and women's sides receive the award. The A-Sun also saw nine of its 10 women's programs, and five of its nine men's programs recognized.NSCAA Team Academic Award HistoryETSU Women's Soccer – 2002, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012ETSU Men's Soccer – 2011, 2012

During September, the Royal Opera House Education team went on the road to deliver ballet demonstrations as part of the Chance to Dance programme. This is now being followed up by workshops and finally a chance to dance at the Royal Opera House.
The scheme brought ballet to 900 Year 3 students from 20 primary schools in Lambeth and Southwark. Children were wowed by Royal Ballet dancers and members of the Orchestra who presented scenes from La fille mal gardeé. All of the children are now taking part in six creative dance workshops run by dance practitioners. On top of this, those children who show an aptitude for dance will be invited to become part of the Chance to Dance Company. Not only will they be able to take part in free weekly dance lessons for up to four years, but they will also be able to take part in an annual performance alongside dancers from the Royal Ballet.
Students were enthusiastic and inspired by the demonstrations and for many it was an insight into a world they knew nothing about. Feedback from teachers was also overwhelmingly positive:
The children without exception loved the performance - it is such a magical thing to see enraptured faces of children - your demonstration session managed to transfix so many of our SEN [Special Educational Needs]children - wondrous!
- Sophia Henderson, Sudbourne Primary School
The class were almost universally inspired...for them to see two first soloists in that setting was an amazing experience. One of the boys who got up to dance as one of Lise and Colas's friends was obviously having a little ballet epiphany as, when he had previously looked at pictures of ballet dancers or watched the YouTube clip of La fille mal gardeé, he had been especially giggly. Not so after the Royal Opera House's exciting demonstration however! He was doing the mime for dance in an unfamiliar school hall while Ricardo and Yuhui danced around him on point. Well done for running such a fabulous scheme.
- Joe Smyth, Boutcher Primary School

Proof of life
I was the blight on my block.
I had moved to Colorado from the Midwest on a blur of love and optimism. After a first morning of sparkling silver hoarfrost, nothing was as it had seemed. My musician boyfriend dumped me before my socks were unpacked. My new company had all the up sides of a small operation run mostly by women — and all the down sides. While I was house-hunting, my dog died. The next weekend, I looked at two homes, one with a southeast-facing acre of back yard, full of terraces and vegetable plots and fruit trees — and two inches of water in the crawl space and someone else's idea of cutesy-country decorating.
I bought the other house.
Years passed. Droughts came. The grass on the hell corner died and weeds invaded. I built raised beds in the back yard. At some point, I sprinkled dirt from my grandfather's farm on every side of the house where I wanted gardens to be. My older sister visited, and to apologize after we had a terrible argument, she dug the much-detested scrub junipers out of my front-porch brick planter for me. The next spring, my best friend planted an herb garden there for my birthday. But the hell corner still cowed me. I could almost feel my neighbors' frustration as it got weedier and weedier, but I couldn't summon the resolve or courage to change it.
I don't know why it finally happened last year, after many false starts, but I have a theory. In late 2006 my eldest cousin — only four years older than me — died of a sudden stroke, alone in her garage. In early 2007 I was diagnosed with dangerously high cholesterol levels. My levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, were high enough that I was tested for an adrenal tumor. My digestive system ceased to function until I removed gluten from my diet.
In the face of all this, the possibility that I would screw up the renovation of my hell corner suddenly seemed less terror-inspiring. I hired a plant-picker from a local greenhouse and interviewed the landscapers she recommended. I found one who patiently explained my options without treating me like an idiot.
When my former co-worker Patricia Corrigan beat breast cancer, she traveled to Egypt to celebrate her triumph. To toast my own narrow escapes, I planted things that bloom in the blazing sun and scouring wind. She rode camels. I bought an irrigation controller I could understand. She saw pyramids; I saw a flagstone path to my western gate and a birdbath with a solar fountain. She changed her relationship to history; I changed mine to beauty. I altered my attitude about delight. I came to terms with my own meandering learning process and granted myself a dispensation to make mistakes. I dug. I weeded. I believed in the unseen.
I planted bulbs last fall, for the first time ever, and it felt as theoretical as particle physics. But now they are up and one variety is blooming, the tiny wildflower irises in the photo at the top of this post. They are the only blossoms so far in a landscape that remains sere and brown while the winecups and evening primrose and sunset hyssop and ornamental grasses take their own lazy time awakening under their thick blankets of mulch.
These brave blooms prove something to me. There is no darkness that beauty cannot walk me back from.

You know Spring is truly on its way when media outlets pick up every story matching the keyword, "Dating". The latest being so-called "Nice Guys" seeking assistance in cultivating their inner jerk in order to rid themselves of such despicable qualities as: empathy, respect and appropriateness.
There is nothing new here; same rehash of the nice guys get nothing/jerks get everything false dichotomy. It seeks to frame the issue as a matter of female partners – since nearly all "Nice Guy" articles are written from a heterosexual perspective – finding "Nice Guys" categorically undesirable without any analysis as to why.
Frankly, it's a bit cheeky to frame the issue in this manner when doesn't explain WHY women tend to shun these men; only blaming women for doing so. In fact when closely examined I find there are little differences between so-called nice guys and the jerks they believe are getting all the ladies.
Skim through any dating forum and see folks hashing out this very issue without much in the way of clarity or resolution. For one thing, few can agree what is meant by the term "Nice Guy" and I suspect that's merely a derailing tactic, rather than legitimate debate.
Look, here's what is meant by "Nice Guy":
- A guy whose niceness is used in order to get something from you.
- A guy who quietly seeks to infuse every atom of his being with yours without directly stating his intentions (when asked)
- A guy who believes it's possible to fake care his way into your heart and underpants
- A guy who is unable to discern subtle cues of disinterest or willingly ignores said cues.
- A guy who believes he is entitled to a certain level of treatment simply because he's pick a specific woman as his mark. Often leading him to behave in decidedly "not nice" ways when his advances are decisively rebuffed.
From the above linked article:
Dean Melcher was the kind of guy who befriended girls easier than boys. He was a tad shy, consistently thoughtful and surrounded by women, but he still couldn't get a girlfriend.
"I think I was kind of clueless and oblivious," admits Melcher, who spent his early 20s lingering in the friend zone. "Women wanted the bad boys."
Everyone probably knows a Mr. Nice Guy like Melcher, who is now 46. He's the guy who patiently listens to a girl complain without interrupting her. Because of his sweet nature, he puts the girl's demands first, altering his weekend plans to fit her schedule. He may be uneasy about making a decision for fear of being domineering.
So much fail going on here.
Newsflash, Mr. Melcher, you lingered in the friend zone because these women were simply NOT attracted to you. There was nothing short of a gun and rope that was going to motivate these women to date you.
Moreover, I suspect some of those women felt it odd that you did not play well with those on your end of the gender spectrum. That is one of my GLARING red flags for anyone. If you can't play well with folks in your own sandbox, I view it as a HUGE SCARECROW and I run out of that cornfield ASAP.
Also, nothing here has suggested why you feel you're in fact – dateable. I mean chow chow about your perceived qualities – all of which are easily framed as manipulative when viewed through the "nice guy" lens – I'm not seeing anything approximating "great catch" at all. What I am seeing, however, is a dude who was secretly a jerk all along finally ditching his faux nice guys ways in hopes he can better attract partners who are still NOT GOING TO DATE HIM. I'm seeing a lot of "me" in all of this. Where are the women? Oh yeah, it's not about them!
Since my name is Snarky's Machine I'm going to reiterate the "ugly" truths of dating for the dudes in the cheap seats:
- You get what you get.
- If at first you don't succeed, lower your damn standards.
- You get someone if you're actually willing to adhere to points 1 and 2.
It would appear in this case, the "Nice Guys" have told themselves lots of fantastic tales using evidence such as the catalog like set up of most dating sites and the fact that lots of schlubs such as themselves have hot girlfriends in Gross Out Comedy films to support their flawed world view. Far too much celluloid has been wasted instructing men that hounding the hell out of a women after she's repeatedly rebuffed his advances is just one tool in a well stocked dating arsenal.
Want to see a "nice guy" turn jerk faster than potato salad goes bad at a picnic? Ignore his unsolicited emails on a dating site or tell him directly that you do not find him attractive and he has no hopes of ever securing a date with you by any means except coercion.
When his eyes light up, remind him most forms of coercion are in fact – illegal.
As for why women pretend they don't notice or give the appearance of actively encouraging the behavior? Well I can't speak for all women who have their own hell to raise, but I do it because I'm not about to have a motherfucker go all Dressed to Kill on me simply because I do not find him dateable.
It's just not worth arguing with that strain of stupid.
The premise of the "nice guy" defense is they are entitled to whatever women they are attracted to as long as they have devoted sufficient effort and resources in the form of performing "niceness".
And, honestly, how nice does that sound to you?
