Plains Gartersnake
Status: locally common
length: 20-28 inches
If you live in the southern part of Wisconsin you might catch a glimpse of the plains gartersnake. This medium-sized snake has yellow to yellow-orange stripes on its sides. The dark brown to olive back has two rows of alternating dark spots above and below the side stripes. Its belly is yellow to yellowish-green with black spots on the outer edge of the belly scales. All in all, it's a pretty colorful snake.
You're most likely to spot this snake in moist, open grassy areas in prairies and oak savannas and along rivers. It likes to eat frogs, earthworms, salamander larvae, tadpoles, fish and beetles.

Cruciform MP3 player wins hearts of goths, god-rockers
Audio enlightenment
If you like music to have some religious significance, then the cross-shaped Keo player hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
Keo MP-301: wear it around your neck to give religious beliefs an audio backing
The MP-301 has track selection buttons on either side of the cross, whilst the top section offers a menu button. The elongated down section of the player has a volume button and blue backlit display. A play button rests right in the centre of the cross.
There's 1GB of storage built into the player and manufacturer Ice Tech claims the MP-301 will give around 12 hours' audio playback. After that, you'll need to recharge it over USB to bring it back from the dead.
Several audio formats are supported, including MP3 and WMA, whilst the player also functions as an FM radio and digital voice recorder. The player also displays text files, but Register Hardware thinks the screen may be a tad too small to easily read anything but the briefest of Biblical quotations.
Ice Tech's cross-shaped MP-301 is available now for around $50 (£25/€32). A UK price hasn't yet been proclaimed from on high.

Introducing Mmoths, the latest in a sea of prodigious young producers in Britain and beyond at the moment whose very surroundings in which they make their music – the bedroom – seems to have given rise to a finished product that appears to stretch desperately beyond the four walls that it's been created in. We've seen already this year the heights at which such an approach and result can reach, with Halls' tenderly constructed Fragile, early in the running to be one of the EPs of 2012. The sense of escapism in sounds such as these is prominent, a reaching out to space and isolation that, even in your own dwelling, is unavoidable through the sheer communication that leaps out at you from every angle 24/7 – on EP1 that feeling is the same.
Eighteen-year-old Jack Colleran from County Kildare in Ireland is a musician who's already found himself sharing a stage with Aphex Twin, receiving plaudits from Flying Lotus and signing his first record deal on the day of his High School exams results, four months after his first tracks were posted on the Irish blog Nialler9. It's fair to say that even among the many who can amass a gluttony of hype at the merest sniff of a half decent Soundcloud link, his is a rise that deserves taking notice of. The cliché would be to say that this debut EP is a collection of tracks that belie his years but that's simplifying it a little because it's not - not wholly - and that's part of its charm.
The clues are in things like an opening track called 'Thnx,' in the emotional directness in the delivery in lines like "you make me feel lonely" on 'Summer' – a track incidentally, that echoes some of the drifting female/male vocal interplay of collaborators Superhumanoids' own work - and the limited palette of sounds used. You might consider the relatively basic feel of these five cuts as an indication of Colleran's youth too, but personally it feels that it's here where he shows his early maturity. On 'Breaking Through' – the closing track – for instance, he's content to sit on a loop and let it draw out to its maximum impact, a clattering of chimes and bells taking central focus before gradually being pulled back so as to allow a new melody to sidle in alongside them. Here the teenager takes care not to dive in too early and alter the texture (and thus mood), a fine show of patience and a clear ability to sustain an atmosphere.
Elsewhere there's a guest appearance on 'Heart' from Sarah P, 21 year-old vocalist of fellow blog roamers Keep Shelly In Athens. It's a purely ambient affair, so light that it might flit off at the slightest gust but for the softly shuffling mid-level that keeps things bedded. 'If Only,' meanwhile, is slightly harsher of tone with squalls and drones silhouetting around minimal rhythms; perhaps the least memorable of the five it's nevertheless another indication that Colleran is already capable of moving around freely within his own self-defined boundaries.
The current glut of dream-pop dressed electronica at the moment can often frustrate in the vagueness of its intent. Certainly any deeper meaning to be gleaned from this work will likely be explained as being merely a subconscious by-product at best; yet in possessing the triggers to set the mind off on such tangents Mmoths has already proved his burgeoning talent. EP1 is a promising opening account and a rather lovely one at that.

phreakf4 wrote:Pen Pusher wrote:From the BBC web site. Trump crowds on the left and Obama on the right.
What is not stated in that item (or the same in any news site I have accessed) is at what time of day the two photos were taken. I am no fan of President Trump. In my opinion extreme nationalism is usually a bad thing whether it is of the right or left, but I ask that question in the interests of accuracy. If, as the shadows, especially noticeable on the Capitol building, seem to indicate, the two were taken at different times of day that might explain the apparent difference in crowd numbers. It would not be the first time that the media have twisted the facts to suit their agenda as we aviation enthusiasts are well aware.
THE FACTS: Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall.
Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration.
And ridership on the Washington's Metro system didn't match that of recent inaugurations. As of 11 a.m. that day, there were 193,000 trips taken, according to the transit service's Twitter account. At the same hour eight years ago, there had been 513,000 trips. Four years later, there were 317,000 for Obama's second inauguration.
We do know a few things so let's go through the facts. We know that from the platform where the President was sworn in to 4th Street holds about 250,000 people. From 4th Street to the media tent is about another 220,000. And from the media tent to the Washington Monument, another 250,000 people. All of this space was full when the President took the oath of office.
Brevet Cable wrote:Does it really matter ?
Obama was supposedly a novelty, hence the turnout.
There could have been a grand total of three tramps & a talking dog watching Trump's inauguration, it doesn't make him any less the POTUS.
At least - unlike Obama - he's unlikely to be in the ridiculous situation of being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize after only a few months in office for doing absolutely nothing.
TKK 140 wrote:
Having watched the Whitehouse press conference I think it does matter. One thing challenging the press, who often gild the lily.

UM brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 68 Designs von 14 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Urban Mindfulness™, a new and growing organization, is seeking a logo for its website and promotional literature (i.e., business cards). UM seeks to help city dwellers reduce stress and live a values-driven life through the practice of mindfulness and meditation.
Last year, I launched an organization, blog, and website, Urban Mindfulness™, devoted to the cultivation of mindfulness and meditation in daily city life. Our goal is to help people develop a sense of peace, awareness, and purpose while living in chaotic, stressful urban environments. We provide free advice and supportive resources through blogging, handouts, and a calendar of related events. Please check out the website if you want more information about UM (http://www.UrbanMindfulness.org).
While mindfulness and meditation are often associated with Buddhism, we strive to be non-denominational. These practices are incorporated within many spiritual traditions, and you do not need to believe in Buddhism (or any other religion for that matter) in order to practice mindfulness and/or meditation.
In terms of the logo, I'm looking for something that features the name prominently with a smaller graphic element. The logo must balance a gritty urban vibe with something soothing. For example, I've been using the font ITC Portago in green against a "dirty" background to communicate this feel (it's the best that a psychologist like me could do with iWeb). Our motto might also help guide you: "Urban Mindfulness™: Finding Peace in the Middle of It All".
The logo will be featured prominently on the top of each page of the website. It also might be used periodically in promotional literature, like a business card.
In terms of formatting, I don't know much about the options, but I guess that "vector formatting" is the most preferred, standard, and versatile? If so, then please make it available in this format.
- Color wise, I use green, gray, orange, black, and silver, and maroon for the website. It might be wise to stay within these colors.
- If possible, I'd like for the logo to look good against both a dark background (like the header section of the website) and a white one.
- The name should be easy to read (font-wise) with the ™ symbol.
- Anything too "green". The website is not about green living; it's about finding peace and stillness while engaged with living in a busy city. A nature-oriented graphic might convey this feeling, but be careful.
- Anything "cartoony".
- Anything too Buddhist. Because UM is nondenominational, I don't want to alienate people with mandalas, meditating buddhas, and the like. A lotus flower might be okay, but again be careful.

Tiffany McCarty picked up the ball on the left wing with one thought in her mind: "just try and be dangerous." She was more than dangerous: she was deadly.
The Dash forward cut inside, jinked away from her marker and unleashed an unstoppable high curving shot from the edge of the penalty area past Jillian Loyden in the Sky Blue FC goal.
It was a sensational finish that set up a 3-0 road win which has the Dash feeling confident ahead of Wednesday night's NWSL home game against the Western New York Flash (6:30 p.m. CT, TICKETS).
After that 10th-minute goal, Ella Masar added another midway through the first half and McCarty expertly pounced on a defensive mistake to seal the points late on, while captain Erin McLeod made some high-caliber saves to preserve the Dash's first clean sheet of the year.
It was the expansion club's second straight win—and they are intent on claiming the hat-trick in Wednesday's doubleheader at BBVA Compass Stadium, which also features the Dynamo's U.S. Open Cup tie with the Laredo Heat at 9 p.m.
"Now's the time to figure out how to get it done at home. This week is a big week for us," Dash head coach Randy Waldrum told HoustonDashSoccer.com. "The fans have been great and they deserve to see us [win] at home."
Houston's four games in East Downtown have all ended in defeat, though Waldrum's side played well for long spells in two matches against Portland Thorns FC and in their most recent home game, a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Red Stars on May 23. After Wednesday's fixture, the Dash are at home again on Saturday against FC Kansas City.
As often this season, the Dash will be without some key players—U.S. defenders Whitney Engen and Meghan Klingenberg and Austria striker Nina Burger are with their national teams—but the Flash are also below full-strength, and Houston have already beaten them this season and are looking more cohesive with every game.
"We're going in a good direction," McCarty told HoustonDashSoccer.com. "Just playing more and more with someone, you get to know their tendencies."
The 23-year-old Maryland native was selected by the Dash in this year's NWSL Expansion Draft. After a stellar college career at Florida State University, McCarty made 21 NWSL appearances for the Washington Spirit last year, scoring twice. This term she already has three goals, having also scored a late equalizer in the 2-2 road draw with Kansas City on May 18.
Often used as an impact substitute, last Sunday underlined that McCarty can be a difference-maker when she starts, too. "She's been very good since the second Kansas City game, she's come on and played well ever since," Waldrum said. "She knows I have confidence in her. I knew she could do this, she has the ability. Now she's in a good place, knowing that her coaches and teammates believe in her."
Waldrum said that he has also seen Kealia Ohai's self-belief grow as the season has worn on. With Ohai and McCarty as the wide players in a front three, the Dash have the pace and trickery to trouble opposition defenses, with their skills complementing the strength and goalscoring instincts of central attackers like Burger and Masar.
The Flash are fifth in the nine-team league, and a Dash win would put Waldrum's side only a point behind the visitors from Rochester. Houston beat them 2-1 at Sahlen's Stadium on May 31, but Waldrum cautions that the visitors are "loaded with talent." They snapped a five-match winless streak in some style, with a 5-0 win over reigning NWSL champions Portland last Saturday.
But the Dash have also found their scoring touch, with ten goals in their past five matches, setting up an intriguing encounter on Wednesday. "Western New York is a good team also coming off a good win. It'll be a good matchup," said McCarty.

Smart, classy, professional logo needed for a small company. Business focuses on non-surgical face lifts and body improvements.
Emerald Coast Body Sculpting
Emerald Coast Body Sculpting is looking for a professional logo to be used for all types of communications. The company uses decompression massage therapy to provide non surgical face lifts, reduce the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and help people lose weight. The technology is based off the ancient chinese practice of cupping. The equipment used is called iSculpt.
- I would like the logo to compliment the isculpt logo which can be found here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103…9ed4_o.jpg
The logo will not always be used in conjuction with the iSculpt logo, so it needs to be able to stand alone.
- The logo needs to work in black and white in addition to color
- It does not have to be the same colors as the isculpt logo
- Websites for reference: Some of these I am not impressed with design but they will give you an idea of what the technology is:http://www.therapycentralofroundrock.com/news/articles/iSculptbodycontouring.htm
Artwork must be in vector format or psd
- Do not feel limited to using a font that is a script
- Do not reference isculpt.org there is no relation to that blog and anything this business does.

Managing Deciduous Teeth in Young Horses
February 14, 2018
Caring for deciduous teeth in young horses requires additional considerations from a veterinary standpoint.
Most horse owners are privy to caring for their adult horses' teeth and diligent in obtaining proper dental care. But caring for foals' and young horses' deciduous (or simply put, baby) teeth is a little different, at least from a veterinary standpoint.
At the American Association of Equine Practitioners Focus on Dentistry meeting, held Sept. 18-20 in Albuquerque, N.M., Jack Easley, DVM, MS, Dipl. ABVP, a private practitioner from Equine Veterinary Practice LLC, in Shelbyville, Ky., discussed what to watch for when dealing with deciduous teeth, and what veterinarians look for when examining them.
"Knowledge of eruption times of deciduous and permanent dentition should be second nature to veterinarians working in the equine mouth," Easley said. "The shedding of deciduous teeth is an entirely natural process that generally does not require human intervention to proceed normally."
However, he noted, as with any other natural occurrence, sometimes things don't go as planned. Some veterinary intervention could be required to put the young horse's mouth on track for a healthy life.
Basics of Tooth Eruption
"Horses under five years of age have mixed hypsodont dentition," Easley began. "From 12 months to six years, equids shed 24 deciduous teeth and erupt 36 to 44 permanent teeth."
Easley explained that a foal's first deciduous incisors erupt at about six days of age, followed by the second incisors at about six weeks and the third incisors at about nine months. These deciduous incisors are smaller than the horse's permanent teeth and are shaped like a dome.
"They have a flattened root, short crown, and shallow infundibulum (a crescent- shaped depression in the central crown of a tooth) on the occlusal (chewing) surface," he noted.
The incisor caps begin shedding when the horse is about two-and-a-half years of age and continue to shed until the horse reaches about four-and-a-half years.
Horses' deciduous premolars begin erupting shortly after birth, Easley noted.
"As the juvenile horse matures, the crowns of deciduous premolars wear thin and the roots resorb, forming a flat premolar cap as the underlying permanent teeth erupt," he added.
The juvenile horse's permanent teeth will erupt starting at about a year old and continuing until the animal is four years of age.
Easley explained that horses have vertically successional teeth, meaning that each deciduous tooth and its associated permanent tooth reside in the same alveolar crypt (the sockets from which horses' teeth erupt). The mechanisms behind equine tooth eruption have not been studied in great detail, he noted, but it's likely that eruption is a multifactorial (having multiple causes) process fueled by eruptive, resorptive, and hydrostatic forces.
He also relayed that between the deciduous tooth and the permanent tooth lies a layer of soft tissue that contains osteoprogenator cells (loosely organized cells that become osteoblasts, or cells that can form bone), cytokines (inflammatory mediators), and odontoclasts (cells that aid in the resorption of deciduous teeth roots). This layer of soft tissue plays a major role in helping the horse's body transition successfully from deciduous teeth to permanent dentine.
"The combined action of resorption of the deciduous tooth roots, development and eruption of permanent successors, and attrition of the clinical crown results in the shedding or exfoliation of a wafer of the deciduous tooth, often referred to as a cap," Easley explained.
"Deciduous premolar caps close to natural exfoliation should: 1) be digitally loose; 2) have partial loss of the crown; or 3) have a palpable demarcation noted on the lingual (tongue) or palatal (the palate, or middle part of the roof of the mouth) aspect of the clinical crown with little or no gingival attachment to the remainder of the cap," Easley noted, adding that malodor often arises as the teeth draw near to shedding.
Easley reported veterinarians often encounter eruption pseudocysts–bony enlargements located on the lower jaw or the upper cheek bone–when dealing with juvenile teeth.
"These pseudocysts (or eruption bumps) normally result from erupting permanent premolars and are most prominent in 3- and 4-year-old horses," he said, adding that the growths generally regress and disappear within a year or so.
Maleruption in Juvenile Horses
Easley reviewed several types of maleruption (eruption of a tooth out of its normal position) juvenile horses can face when their permanent teeth develop.
Worn Deciduous Teeth Crowns–When the crowns of deciduous teeth become worn, they loosen to the point they are displaced or shed into the horse's mouth. Easley noted these worn caps and their aftereffects are often associated with gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Retained Deciduous Incisors–As the name suggests, this occurs when one or more incisor does not shed as the permanent teeth arrive. Often, this abnormality is caused by "the permanent tooth erupting slightly (nearer the inside of the horse's mouth) to the deciduous, resulting in failure of the deciduous root to completely resorb."
Easley explained that retained deciduous incisors cause clinical signs including head tossing during eating, rubbing incisors on fixed objects, quidding (dropping chewed food from the mouth), and bitting problems. He noted that in some cases a narrow space can develop between the deciduous tooth and the permanent tooth, a precursor for periodontal disease in horses.
Loose incisor caps are often easily removed in standing horses, he said; however, some instances require sedation to successfully remove the cap.
Retained Premolar Caps–"Premolar caps can appear much like a table with four legs lying over the top of the permanent tooth," Easley said. Gingivitis and periodontal disease can result if the premolar cap's roots remain in the gum after the cap is shed, and it also predisposes horses to developing dental problems later in life.
Retained premolar caps can cause gingival irritation, dysmastication (abnormal chewing), anorexia, loss of appetite, and a predisposition to malocclusion (abnormal relationships between opposing teeth). Further, he explained, eruption bumps can result from the delayed eruption of permanent teeth, an occasional side effect of retained dentation.
Easley said these are primarily cosmetic problems; however, he warned that in some cases they can be caused by anachoretic pulpitis–a condition in which blood-borne bacteria become lodged within the pulp of the tooth, necessitating immediate treatment.
Easley noted that, similar to loose incisor caps, these caps can usually be removed easily.
Malocclusions–Several different types of malocclusion can affect juvenile horses as they shed their deciduous teeth, Easley noted. Permanent teeth can erupt misaligned with the rest of the teeth, spaces can develop between permanent teeth, and overcrowding can occur in young equine mouths.
In some cases of malocclusion (i.e., with asynchronous eruption of permanent teeth–permanent teeth in close proximity that erupt at different times) a veterinarian will recommend removing deciduous teeth.
"As a general rule in equine practice, if one cap has shed, the cap in the same position on the opposite side of the jaw should be evaluated and, if loose or close to exfoliation, it should be removed," he explained.
To Remove, or Not to Remove?
"The practice of methodically removing deciduous teeth at set ages results in premature removal in some horses," Easley noted.
In cases like these, when the deciduous teeth are removed prematurely, the dental sac covering the underlying permanent tooth is exposed and quickly destroyed by mastication, Easley said. This leads to loss of blood supply to the chewing surface, where active cement deposition might still be occurring, he added, which can result in conditions that predispose the animal to the development of caries (cavities) later in life.
For these reasons most veterinarians opt to let healthy deciduous teeth shed on their own.
Take-Home Message
Although many horses' deciduous teeth shed without incidence, there are times when maleruptions, retentions, or malocclusions develop in the juvenile mouth. In these cases, a veterinarian familiar with equine dentition is the best resource for keeping a young horse on the road to life-long health and wellness.

I am having SO much fun playing with flock, and of course the new glue "ink" pad I got too.
I love the look you can get. The above chipboard flower is from Making Memories. I separated
it and flocked each layer. The pp on the background is from Scenic Route.
Stampendous is the company that makes the Fun Flock brand.
Stampendous is the company that makes the Fun Flock brand.
This is an Autumn Leaves stamp by Rhonna Farrer. I stamped the flourish with the glue from the pad and then covered it in flock. You push the flock down to get good coverage and then shake the excess once the adhesive dries.I used the Tsukineko brand glue pad. This pad does not require the glue to be heated before using. Simple. It also cleaned up well with regular stamp cleaner.

24 hours of Boggs today! 11am to 11am. With new bike, awesome. Without
any crew or friends racing, less awesome. It was a great course last
year and suuposedly there's even more single track. As my first 24hr
race last year I got 4th out of 8 single speed, but something like 9th
out of 45 overall. I like the time and the looped course rarely feels
repetitive, but it's hard mentally to push when there's no 'end'. It
got me at Cool 24 this year when I stopped cause I was cold (haha) and
fell asleep…
Maybe I'll shoot for a distance to keep me going? 200 miles? A double
century on my mountain bike would be a first.
I'll try to update the Swarm! Twitter occasionally. Also, a prize if
you can name the album the title of this post is from. Hint: I had the
t-shirt in high school.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Coal Report shows that coal mining employment has declined in the past decade as coal demand has decreased. Most U.S. coal is consumed in the electric power sector and has faced increased competition from electricity generation from natural gas and renewable technologies. U.S. coal mining employment fell from a high of 92,000 employees in 2011 to 54,000 employees in 2018, with the most dramatic decrease in the Appalachian region.
Annual U.S. coal production peaked in 2008, three years before coal mining employment reached its record high. In 2008, the United States produced 1.2 billion tons of coal from 1,458 mines. Since then, coal production has fallen and many mines have closed: in 2018, U.S. coal production was 756 million tons from 679 mines. As was the case with employment, much of coal's production decline was concentrated in the Appalachian region. More than half of the region's mines have closed since 2008, and production has fallen from 390 million tons in 2008 to 200 million tons in 2018.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Coal Report
Appalachian mines tend to be smaller than mines in the Interior and Western regions and to use labor-intensive underground mining techniques, as opposed to machinery-intensive longwall mining and surface mining operations. A slight increase in coal mining employment in the Appalachia region from 2016 to 2018 corresponded to an increase in coal exports because this region is the dominant source of coal shipped overseas.
The decline in operating mines has been steeper than the changes in employment and production. EIA's review of operating mines showed that smaller mines have had greater difficulty competing in the current market and have been the first to close.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Coal Report
As smaller, less productive mines were idled or closed, overall coal labor productivity, measured in tons per labor hour, gradually increased from 5.2 tons per labor hour in 2011 to 6.2 tons per labor hour in 2018. The large surface mines in the Powder River Basin (PRB) in Wyoming and Montana have much higher productivity, but even PRB productivity has declined as the region's producing coal seams become deeper and the amount of overburden, or top soil and rock above the coal seam, increases.
In contrast, the Appalachia and Interior regions both have shown improvements in labor productivity between 2011 and 2018, largely because they are increasingly relying on less labor-intensive longwall and highwall mining systems and closing or idling the least productive mines.
Data from EIA's Annual Coal Report are available in EIA's Coal Data Browser. In addition to data from the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, EIA's Annual Coal Report also includes mine-level data from EIA's Survey of Coal Production and Preparation and coal exports data from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Headline crude prices for the week beginning 23 March 2020 – Brent: US$27/b; WTI: US$23/b
Headlines of the week
Natural Gas/LNG
Crude oil prices have fallen significantly since the beginning of 2020, largely driven by the economic contraction caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID19) and a sudden increase in crude oil supply following the suspension of agreed production cuts among the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and partner countries. With falling demand and increasing supply, the front-month price of the U.S. benchmark crude oil West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell from a year-to-date high closing price of $63.27 per barrel (b) on January 6 to a year-to-date low of $20.37/b on March 18 (Figure 1), the lowest nominal crude oil price since February 2002.
WTI crude oil prices have also fallen significantly along the futures curve, which charts monthly price settlements for WTI crude oil delivery over the next several years. For example, the WTI price for December 2020 delivery declined from $56.90/b on January 2, 2020, to $32.21/b as of March 24. In addition to the sharp price decline, the shape of the futures curve has shifted from backwardation—when near-term futures prices are higher than longer-dated ones—to contango, when near-term futures prices are lower than longer-dated ones. The WTI 1st-13th spread (the difference between the WTI price in the nearest month and the price for WTI 13 months away) settled at -$10.34/b on March 18, the lowest since February 2016, exhibiting high contango. The shift from backwardation to contango reflects the significant increase in petroleum inventories. In its March 2020 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), released on March 11, 2020, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecast that Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) commercial petroleum inventories will rise to 2.9 billion barrels in March, an increase of 20 million barrels over the previous month and 68 million barrels over March 2019 (Figure 2). Since the release of the March STEO, changes in various oil market and macroeconomic indicators suggest that inventory builds are likely to be even greater than EIA's March forecast.
Significant price volatility has accompanied both price declines and price increases. Since 1999, 69% of the time, daily WTI crude oil prices increased or decreased by less than 2% relative to the previous trading day. Daily oil price changes during March 2020 have exceeded 2% 13 times (76% of the month's traded days) as of March 24. For example, the 10.1% decline on March 6 after the OPEC meeting was larger than 99.8% of the daily percentage price decreases since 1999. The 24.6% decline on March 9 and the 24.4% decline on March 18 were the largest and second largest percent declines, respectively, since at least 1999 (Figure 3).
On March 10, a series of government announcements indicated that emergency fiscal and monetary policy were likely to be forthcoming in various countries, which contributed to a 10.4% increase in the WTI price, the 12th-largest daily increase since 1999. During other highly volatile time periods, such as the 2008 financial crisis, both large price increases and decreases occurred in quick succession. During the 2008 financial crisis, the largest single-day increase—a 17.8% rise on September 22, 2008—was followed the next day by the largest single-day decrease, a 12.0% fall on September 23, 2008.
Market price volatility during the first quarter of 2020 has not been limited to oil markets (Figure 4). The recent volatility in oil markets has also coincided with increased volatility in equity markets because the products refined from crude oil are used in many parts of the economy and because the COVID-19-related economic slowdown affects a broad array of economic activities. This can be measured through implied volatility—an estimate of a security's expected range of near-term price changes—which can be calculated using price movements of financial options and measured by the VIX index for the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 index and the OVX index for WTI prices. Implied volatility for both the S&P 500 index and WTI are higher than the levels seen during the 2008 financial crisis, which peaked on November 20, 2008, at 80.9 and on December 11, 2008, at 100.4, respectively, compared with 61.7 for the VIX and 170.9 for the OVX as of March 24.
Comparing implied volatility for the S&P 500 index with WTI's suggests that although recent volatility is not limited to oil markets, oil markets are likely more volatile than equity markets at this point. The oil market's relative volatility is not, however, in and of itself unusual. Oil markets are almost always more volatile than equity markets because crude oil demand is price inelastic—whereby price changes have relatively little effect on the quantity of crude oil demanded—and because of the relative diversity of the companies constituting the S&P 500 index. But recent oil market volatility is still historically high, even in comparison to the volatility of the larger equity market. As denoted by the red line in the bottom of Figure 4, the difference between the OVX and VIX reached an all-time high of 124.1 on March 23, compared with an average difference of 16.8 between May 2007 (the date the OVX was launched) and March 24, 2020.
Markets currently appear to expect continued and increasing market volatility, and, by extension, increasing uncertainty in the pricing of crude oil. Oil's current level of implied volatility—a forward-looking measure for the next 30 days—is also high relative to its historical, or realized, volatility. Historical volatility can influence the market's expectations for future price uncertainty, which contributes to higher implied volatility. Some of this difference is a structural part of the market, and implied volatility typically exceeds historical volatility as sellers of options demand a volatility risk premium to compensate them for the risk of holding a volatile security. But as the yellow line in Figure 4 shows, the current implied volatility of WTI prices is still higher than normal. The difference between implied and historical volatility reached an all-time high of 44.7 on March 20, compared with an average difference of 2.3 between 2007 and March 2020. This trend could suggest that options (prices for which increase with volatility) are relatively expensive and, by extension, that demand for financial instruments to limit oil price exposure are relatively elevated.
Increased price correlation among several asset classes also suggests that similar economic factors are driving prices in a variety of markets. For example, both the correlation between changes in the price of WTI and changes in the S&P 500 and the correlation between WTI and other non-energy commodities (as measured by the S&P Commodity Index (GSCI)) increased significantly in March. Typically, when correlations between WTI and other asset classes increase, it suggests that expectations of future economic growth—rather than issues specific to crude oil markets— tend to be the primary drivers of price formation. In this case, price declines for oil, equities, and non-energy commodities all indicate that concerns over global economic growth are likely the primary force driving price formation (Figure 5).
U.S. average regular gasoline and diesel prices fall
The U.S. average regular gasoline retail price fell nearly 13 cents from the previous week to $2.12 per gallon on March 23, 50 cents lower than a year ago. The Midwest price fell more than 16 cents to $1.87 per gallon, the West Coast price fell nearly 15 cents to $2.88 per gallon, the East Coast and Gulf Coast prices each fell nearly 11 cents to $2.08 per gallon and $1.86 per gallon, respectively, and the Rocky Mountain price declined more than 8 cents to $2.24 per gallon.
The U.S. average diesel fuel price fell more than 7 cents from the previous week to $2.66 per gallon on March 23, 42 cents lower than a year ago. The Midwest price fell more than 9 cents to $2.50 per gallon, the West Coast price fell more than 7 cents to $3.25 per gallon, the East Coast and Gulf Coast prices each fell nearly 7 cents to $2.72 per gallon and $2.44 per gallon, respectively, and the Rocky Mountain price fell more than 6 cents to $2.68 per gallon.
Propane/propylene inventories decline
U.S. propane/propylene stocks decreased by 1.8 million barrels last week to 64.9 million barrels as of March 20, 2020, 15.5 million barrels (31.3%) greater than the five-year (2015-19) average inventory levels for this same time of year. Gulf Coast inventories decreased by 1.3 million barrels, East Coast inventories decreased by 0.3 million barrels, and Rocky Mountain/West Coast inventories decrease by 0.2 million barrels. Midwest inventories increased by 0.1 million barrels. Propylene non-fuel-use inventories represented 8.5% of total propane/propylene inventories.
Residential heating fuel prices decrease
As of March 23, 2020, residential heating oil prices averaged $2.45 per gallon, almost 15 cents per gallon below last week's price and nearly 77 cents per gallon lower than last year's price at this time. Wholesale heating oil prices averaged more than $1.11 per gallon, almost 14 cents per gallon below last week's price and 98 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
Residential propane prices averaged more than $1.91 per gallon, nearly 2 cents per gallon below last week's price and almost 49 cents per gallon below last year's price. Wholesale propane prices averaged more than $0.42 per gallon, more than 7 cents per gallon lower than last week's price and almost 36 cents per gallon below last year's price.

Big companies like the free enterprise system but seem to dislike competition; thus all the mergers. As the number of mergers occur less competition results followed by increased costs to the consumers. Virgin Australia forced Qantas to lower domestic fares. Unfortunately we in Canada have no domestic competition because foreign controlled domestic airlines are not allowed. Our domestic fares are outrageous;it is cheaper to fly internationally because there is competition from other airlines. The airline industry seems immune from consumer protection; if you polled passengers on any flight the number of different fares paid in any one class would be in double figures. Other retail companies would never get away with this.(Written on 10/04/2016)(Permalink)
My wife and I taught at RCAF #1 Fighter Wing in Marville France.We had two F104 Squadrons and a Com Squadron with DC3's and Bristol Freighters. Because schoolies were given Officer Mess privledges (and spent a lot of time there). Most of our pilot friends are retired airline pilots. early 70's now. Until 1966 these guys training started on the single engine chipmunk,the to the Harvard (Texan), then to the T33. They were then put on jets or twin prop pistons (Beachcraft). By the time they joined the airlines in the mid to late 60's most of them had 3500 hours or more flying in Europe with TACAN, compass, Radio beacons and dead reckoning to navigate. We still keep in touch. Training in 66 started on the Tutor bypassing the single engine prop planes. Unfortunately the military cannot come close to supplying the demand for commercial pilots, A couple of them told me that there were a lot of mediocre to poor pilots on our airlines. I am sure it is far worse now.(Written on 15/01/2016)(Permalink)
Air Canada has not done the Dreamliner any favour with the seating on the only flight my wife and have had in one. Give me a 777 or 767 any day> (at least the way ACA has configured them). Pitch and width were too tight.(Written on 11/12/2015)(Permalink)
Martin,yes I am aware of subsidies for both; in fact a recent comment made by me chastising Airbus haters when an American pilot was the first US pilot to be qualified on the A350 (which my son worked on for Honeywell for 4 years) crapped all over him and Airbus because a) they think there is too much EU subsidy for AB and b) they trash the fly by wire and joystick used by them. I made the point that most of Boeing profit comes from Pentagon contracts. We are a small (in population) country and cannot compete with the EU and the US to build this type of aircraft. The A320n is using the Pratt and Whitney geared turbofan as is theC series; this aircraft does not have enough sales and it probably won't have to come even close to breaking even let alone make a profit. Stick with regional, business jets and turboprops, We are good at that.(Written on 04/12/2015)(Permalink)
I am Canadian but this mismanaged and bankrupt prone company should never have started the C series. To compete with Boeing and Airbus in the single aisle market is folly. They have recently received a billion dollar bailout from Quebec and no doubt will get more money from our federal government (they have before,we have to protect those votes from Quebec you know). Much of the aircraft production is Ireland the US and who knows where else. They are being sued (or should be) by the city of Toronto for late delivery of street cars. WAY LATE.(Written on 04/12/2015)(Permalink)
My wife and I have visited Fiji. What they did doesn't surprise me. They are the best natured men we have ever met. Multi talented and very funny. A great place to tour.The women are the same as the men.(Written on 04/12/2015)(Permalink)
India's ATC has been critized for being suspect for years. Perhaps the same could be said about AI.All commercial aircraft have delays and major cost overruns. Too many comments on Flight Aware degenerate into an Airbus/Boeing fistfight. Both companies make excellent aircraft. The attempt by Boeing to outsource much of the production for the 787 was admirable because it gave employment to several countries. However the main culprit in the delay was the choice of the firm which made the fasteners which were substandard. The choice of lithium batteries and the troubles they caused was unfortunate. These batteries are state of the art but because of the power required on this state of the art aircraft when full of passengers the heat generated was sort of an unknown. No lives lost and corrections have been successful. Quite frankly I would not fly AI regardless of what aircraft they fly.(Written on 22/08/2014)(Permalink)
My wife and enjoy flying on the 767. Firstly, it is a wide body even though it has only one more seat than most single aisle aircraft but secondly and most importantly its seat configuration is 2-3-2 thus a couple when flying together never have to inconvenient another passenger even if sitting in the middle 3 to get to the aisle.(Written on 22/08/2014)(Permalink)
Thanks Mark for the correction. My son,who works for Honeywell and formerly for CAE Avionics (they make simulators) and has worked on the Raptor, the JSF and now the Airbus 350 and I were talking about the geared jet engine. I just assumed that the one in the article was geared. Is gearing reliable enough in your opinion? I realize that this question is really off the topic of the article.(Written on 16/08/2014)(Permalink)
It is not mentioned in the article that this engine has a gearing system, the first of its kind for a jet engine. I could be wrong but I think that is why it requires so much testing. I am no aeronautics specialist but my son is We have talked about adding gears to a jet engine which has few moving parts and how that could be a weak point in this engine. It is supposed to be significantly more fuel efficient. Several engine failures in recent newsletters (including this one) have been reported. Hopefully this new one will as good as or better than current ones. In no way do I feel unsafe when flying. The number of engine failures is miniscule when one cosiders the millions of flight hour flown daily.(Written on 16/08/2014)(Permalink)

Britton hopes to be late-inning alternative in bullpen
BALTIMORE -- For the first time since showing up to Spring Training in early February, Zach Britton had no idea if he'd get into Monday's game or not. With just two career relief appearances under his belt entering the season, it's been an experiment for Britton, who passed his first test with two scoreless innings on Opening Day.
Britton, who said he's still experimenting with an exact pregame routine, has established a range of pitches he needs to hit to be ready, and the lefty is hoping he can earn manager Buck Showalter's trust to be a back-end bullpen guy.
"I want to be a guy who is going to pitch late in games," Britton said of his role in the bullpen, which is largely undefined. "I don't want to be a guy who is only pitching when we're losing or way ahead. That's no fun. To me, I want to be a guy [Showalter] trusts out there to come out there with the game on the line and pitch well. So that's kind of my goal. We don't have defined roles, so maybe a little later on in the year, he has that trust in me to come in later in the game."
Britton fared well on Monday, getting all six outs following starter Chris Tillman on the ground, which is a sign his stuff is working.
"It'd be better to get ahead of the guys, but the sinker was really good," Britton said of his trademark pitch. "Got ground balls, and for me, that's what it's about. To minimize damage and throw a little more strikes, but to get ground balls is important."
Could the new job as a reliever have changed the way Britton, who has a 4.86 ERA in 46 Major League starts, attacks hitters?
"A lot of it is being healthy, being confident again. If I was starting, I'd have the same confidence with where I'm at physically, but definitely out of the bullpen, it makes you trust your stuff more," Britton said. "You don't have time to ease your way in. You got to go out there and be aggressive right away -- especially coming into a tight game like [Monday]."

Less than a week after "half his hand was just hanging off" Amar'e will start for the Knicks today in what will most likely be New York's final game of the season.
Interim coach Mike Woodson says Stoudemire will play in Sunday's game with padding covering his hand. Stoudemire was hurt after Monday's Game 2 in Miami and had surgery to repair a muscle the next day.
The Knicks originally listed him as doubtful for Sunday's game, but Stoudemire resumed workouts Friday and was cleared by doctors to return.
Who knows, maybe it will be inspiring like Willis Reed v2.0. Or maybe it will be like Willis Reed without the slashing and dashing Clyde Frazier.

text:
– By Tenzin Dorjee, executive director of Students for a Free Tibet and a blogger at www.lhakar.org
The first signs of Lhakar – the name is translated usually as White Wednesday and occasionally as Pure Dedication – appeared in 2008 following the nationwide uprising against Chinese rule. Four years after its birth, Lhakar has produced a paradigm shift in the way Tibetans conceptualize activism, thanks to three key elements: de-collectivization of activism, weaponization of culture, and adoption of noncooperation.
1. De-collectivization of Activism
The core appeal of Lhakar lies in its simplicity. It focuses on the fundamental elements of freedom, the most mundane decisions people make in their daily lives – when to visit the temple, what kind of music to listen to, which restaurant to eat in, which shop to buy groceries from, what language to speak at home – rather than the bigger decisions that carry a higher price tag.
As China stamped out all forms of collective expressions of dissent, Tibetans responded by de-collectivizing their activism. Through personal actions such as wearing traditional clothes, eating Tibetan food, listening to independent radio, teaching their native language at home, many Tibetans began to use their individual space to assert an identity that has been suppressed for decades.
In this politically charged period, rituals that used to be cultural suddenly became political, not so much because they gave people a Tibetan identity but because they gave them a non-Chinese identity. In a zero-sum game of identity politics, being Tibetan became synonymous with "not being Chinese." This phenomenon gave rise to a series of practical actions that went beyond mere symbolism, and, eventually, beyond Wednesdays.
Emphasizing individual acts of resistance rather than public acts of protest, Lhakar has decentralized the resistance. By treating their homes, workplaces, and computers as battlefields of resistance, Tibetans are wielding their limited personal choices and daily activities as a wedge to pry open more social, political and economic space. A Lhakar practitioner does not expect freedom to come from a tweak in policy or a change of heart in Beijing, but from his or her own daily thoughts, decisions and actions fostering a parallel world of freedom that will outgrow China's superstructure of repression.
Thus through de-collectivization of activism, Lhakar sustains the resistance by empowering the individual. In doing so, it has become a gateway to activism at large.
2. Weaponization of Culture
Growing up in exile, the first thing we learned about our culture was that it was facing extinction at home and assimilation in exile. There was a belief that culture could survive only at the mercy of politics; and the politics of Tibet allowed little hope of survival. My generation of Tibetans had a sinking feeling that Tibetan culture was like a fragile flower: beautiful to look at but incapable of defending itself.
However, Lhakar is reversing this disempowering perception of culture. Since the rise of Lhakar, a growing number of Tibetans have begun reclaiming culture as a tool to fight for greater political rights. They are using Tibetan art, literature, poetry and music as vehicles for expressing their faith in the Dalai Lama, love of their homeland, and desire for freedom. Songs with politically charged lyrics or music videos with images of the Dalai Lama become instant hits, selling tens of thousands of copies. This upsurge in the public consumption of Tibetan music and poetry has spawned a modern renaissance in art and literature across the plateau. For the first time in decades, perhaps centuries, Tibetans are rediscovering how culture can save politics, instead of waiting for politics to save culture.
This transformation is reflected most colorfully in the revival of public enthusiasm for studying Tibetan. In various parts of Tibet, elders and children take pledges to speak pure Tibetan, shedding Chinese terms from their vocabulary. In Sertha in Kham (Chinese: Sichuan), elders hand out free dictionaries to youngsters. Writers and musicians in eastern Tibet, many of whom preferred the dominant Chinese language as their artistic medium, now compose and perform in Tibetan. In restaurants and cafes, the owners serve customers only when they order in Tibetan. Weibo users tweet in Tibetan every Wednesday; Renren and Facebook users regularly post images and poems that carry political messages.
These are but a handful of stories that show how Lhakar actions are multiplying across Tibet, from Lithang to Lhasa, Ngaba to Rebkong, Sertha to Nangchen. In art, poetry, and literature, Tibetans are able to paint a gray area that is nonexistent on the black-and-white canvas of politics.
For a generation raised under the myth that we could never match China's power, nothing is more empowering than realizing that the inexhaustible reservoir of our culture is finally being weaponized into a powerful set of nonviolent tools. Lhakar has transformed Tibetan culture from frozen asset into liquid capital, from a holy scepter into a golden spear.
Over a millennium has passed since Buddhism tamed Tibet, but our warrior instincts are still at large. We dash into battle before calculating gains and analyzing risks. In almost every Tibetan legend, bravery and action overshadow planning and preparation. The strategy room occupies a negligible place in the Tibetan imagination.
For decades, the predominant tactic in Tibetan resistance has been street protest. Though an effective and low-risk tactic in exile, the cost of street protests in Tibet is unsustainably high. The simplest act of protest carries a possibility of being shot at and a certainty of being jailed. However, through Lhakar's emphasis on strategy, Tibetans have come to appreciate the power of noncooperation – a tactic that lends itself to the most daring as well as the most risk-averse of people, being less costly but often more effective than acts of protest and persuasion. (See more resources on strategic nonviolent action in Tibetan language: http://www.aeinstein.org/organizations82f0.html)
Since 2008 many Tibetans have started eating only in Tibetan restaurants and buying only from Tibetan shops, prompting Chinese businesses to close down in several towns. This 'undeclared boycott' of Chinese-owned businesses, a poetic answer to China's 'undeclared martial law' in Tibet, invokes the principles of Gandhian-style economic noncooperation.
For many years Tibetans in Nangchen (Chinese: Nangqen) had been buying vegetables at astronomical prices from Chinese grocers, whose monopoly over the vegetable market went unchallenged. But in early 2011, a group of Tibetans started boycotting the Chinese vegetable shops. Their power as consumers multiplied when others followed their example. Barely two months had passed when many of the Chinese groceries closed down for lack of business; in their place, new Tibetan vegetable vendors popped up.
For the first time in recent memory, Tibetans are seeing how their individual actions can change their collective future. The discourse of resistance is changing from one of victimhood to one that emphasizes agency, creativity and strategy. Until recently, most conversations started and ended with Tibetan helplessness in the face of Chinese ruthlessness. Today the underground salons and teahouses are brewing with discussions about resistance, strategy, and action.
Empowered by the tangible results of noncooperation, Tibetans no longer see nonviolence as a religious principle that restricts effective action; we see it as a strategic weapon that unleashes our potential. As proven time and time again in other revolutions, nothing can remove the pillars of a dictatorship more effectively than a widespread, sustained campaign of noncooperation.
The Future of Lhakar
Last fall Chinese authorities in Sershul, eastern Tibet, arrested a Tibetan woman for wearing chupa on a Wednesday. Around the same time, they detained hundreds of Tibetans for being involved in a language preservation group, and many others for promoting vegetarianism – older Tibetans are fond of imagining that the good karma accumulated from reducing their collective meat consumption will add more years to the Dalai Lama's life.
The Chinese government may have found a new enemy in Lhakar. But in declaring Lhakar its enemy, China has targeted a concept, an abstract noun, that it doesn't have the weapons to destroy. The essence of Lhakar is not in the chupa one wears but in the intention with which one wears it. The real Lhakar is a movement of the mind, and therefore invisible and untouchable to any number of troops, tanks, or bullets. China's heavy-handed crackdown on people speaking Tibetan, wearing certain clothes, or going vegetarian – a reflection of its declining confidence and growing insecurity – will backfire on the regime and end up strengthening Lhakar in the long run.
A more serious threat to Lhakar, ironically, could come from within, from misunderstanding the concept of strategic nonviolence. We must not think that just wearing a chupa or speaking pure Tibetan fulfills our personal quota of Lhakar activism or that not wearing one or speaking another language somehow violates it. A narrow definition could prematurely strangle Lhakar; an open and inclusive definition will give Lhakar room to grow and mature. If there are a thousand different ways of observing Lhakar, how will the Chinese government challenge all of them?
Those who have a passion for writing could spend at least an hour each week editing Wikipedia to make sure that entries related to Tibet reflect the truth; those who have unlimited phone plans could allocate a "happy hour" on Wednesdays to call the Chinese consulates and embassies and harass them about their government's treatment of Tibetans (the best stress relief is when you give it to someone else); those who are learning Tibetan could read their news in Tibetan at least once a week; those raised in the West could tune in to the Tibetan language services of Radio Free Asia, Voice of America, or Voice of Tibet every Wednesday; shopaholics could dedicate a couple of hours each Wednesday to persuading shops and retailers to replace Made-in-China products with Made-in-[enter your own country of residence] products; students could dedicate each Wednesday to covering their campuses with flyers to highlight one aspect of injustice taking place in Tibet and how to right it. These are just a few among the scores of actions people can take according to their own skills, abilities and interests.
Social movements are fueled by positive reinforcement and killed by self-righteous policing. In truth, Lhakar has gained its wide appeal precisely because it is a voluntary, flexible and one-size-fits-all kind of movement. We must allow each person to contribute to the movement freely in her own way and according to her own preferences rather than forcing her to conform to certain rules and appearances. Lhakar needs cheerleaders (http://www.lhakardiaries.com/), not policemen.
During the Civil Rights Movement in America, many wealthy black professionals and businessmen were asking Martin Luther King Jr. to slow down the campaign for equality. "Don't rock the boat," they implored him. "If we push too hard, we might lose even whatever little we have gained." (Fortunately for all of us, the Civil Rights Movement continued to rock the boat). In our case too, some people will try to save a milder version of the movement from China's claws by promoting a Lhakar-lite. They will seek to perpetuate a mild, toothless version of Lhakar by insisting that it remain a cultural, not political, movement.
But such arguments are rooted in a psychology of defeatism that renders us incapable of imagining Tibetan power outside of Chinese parameters. It prescribes an activism conducted in fear, and fear is the most efficient prison the oppressors ever built for the oppressed. What other kinds of jail or detention center can imprison us even in exile?
Now is the time to intensify Lhakar by amplifying its philosophy and multiplying its practice, not at a pace dictated by China but one set by Tibetans. This is not the time to divide Tibetans into activists vs. pacifists, political vs. cultural, secular vs. religious. We must blur the lines between the cultural, the political, the social and the economic, for such compartmentalization does not exist in real life; we inhabit all of these spheres at the same time.
The day is not far when the Chinese government will view every Tibetan as an activist and every action as subversive. That's when we will know that China has lost the battle for Tibet.

Handled the Coq. back in late Nov. very well. Excellent snow traction during the big storm I was passing thru. Wet and dry handling before and after the Coq. were very good, but the conditions weren't as extreme as the snow, but I can give at least a 4 for what I dealt with.
They ride very well, not harsh at all, with only a slight bit of road noise. Not sure yet about treadwear.I recommend these and would definitely buy them again.

These tires are great for their price and deliver good performance for a 'light' winter tire. They do not inspire a great deal of confidence with dry grip but are very predictable in both dry and wet conditions. The tires do squirm a little compared to dedicated summer tires but that is expected with the smaller and softer tread blocks. Comfort and noise are both good and the treadwear is acceptable for a winter tire that drives in Southern BC winters where it is in contact with wet/dry pavement more often than snow/ice and around 10C to -10C temperatures. The fronts were down 2/32nd's of an inch and the rears 1/32nd of an inch in approximately 5000 KM which included a driving style not conducive to maximizing tread life.
The tires held up well in last year's BC winter storms and was very predictable on snow. Ice performance is probably worse than a more aggressive winter tire but is still acceptable - remember to drive to the conditions, don't try to drive like it's dry pavement simply because these are winter tires.

Week 33 - Saturday
by, May 18th, 2013 at 04:16 PM (833 Views)
Today was a solo swim. I tried convincing my kids to join me, but my son had a birthday party he was attending(these are becoming rare for him and he still really enjoys them) and my daughter just did not want to swim today(she is already swimming 5 days a week at 9 years of age, but is really enjoying it). I decided I,was going to do a pyramid swim today and thought the pool would be setup short course but to my pleasant surprise it was setup long course. I modified the pyramid slightly only going upto 400s but held a pretty quick pace and felt pretty good throughout. I really need to get my yardage backup and this will no doubt hurt, but longer term this will be good. I am going to,sit down with my coach in the next two weeks and work on next years goals and put a plan in place. Despite short course Nationals only just finishing I am ready to get going on the next set of goals. This morning I even caught myself thinking about doing long course nationals in August. My wife will kill me and I know I promised I would back off over the summer, and long term it will be better to reenergize and focus on a longer term goal, but it's tempting.

Total 4000meters
I felt pretty good on the pull set and held 1.08 pace the whole way. I felt quite sore after the second 400 but kept my stroke long and concentrated on quick turns. I noticed in all my swims in Indy my turns were ok, but very slow. I know at 6.5 feet it's hard to tuck into a tight ball but I need to get over quicker. As i write this entry I am tired but I guess that's what happens when you taper all the way to no yardage and then build it back up again. I want to build a good base this summer and fall as a platform for next year.

Blue jean babies
Have jeans that no longer fit you — or any of your friends? Donate them to one of a handful of local stores and score a couple of tickets to see "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," the second movie based on Anne Brashares' book series.
The premise of the 2005 movie was that as four best friends spend their first summer apart from one another, they share a magical pair of jeans that fits each, despite their different shapes and size. They stay in touch by passing the pants around and sharing their adventures. In the new movie, the friends — played by Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel — have just graduated from college and are again off on summer sojourns.
Those who donate jeans to five local stores will get discounts on purchases and tickets, while supplies last, to a movie screening at 7 p.m. July 28. The stores are Babareeba!, 3629 W. 32nd Ave., The Blues Jean Bar, 250 Fillmore St., Unity, 1455 South Pearl St., and Ella Bleu Boutiques at 200 Quebec St. and 5425 Landmark Pl. in Greenwood Village. Donations will be accepted through Aug. 6 — the day the movie opens nationwide — and jeans will then be given to Denver Urban Ministries.
