update: the wildlings
I'm the worst blogger on the planet. I feel like Garth from Wayne's World when he's testing out the "Suck and Cut." When he tests out the appliance, hilarity follows as the experiment goes awry and he screams, "MAKE IT STOP! IT'S SUCKING MY WILL TO LIVE."
ellie turns SIX months this month. What? Where have the last six months gone? I know I haven't slept much, so it really does feel like one long day.
He talks up a storm. He runs around like a tornado. He jumps and climbs on everything. You can find him in the most impossibly high and dangerous places possible. He's incredibly smart and very stubborn. I wouldn't say he's in the "terrible two's," but he definitely challenges us and is constantly trying to disobey. It's like having a little angry terrorist in your house who is trying to hold you hostage.
His favorite things to say and do are:
- "Now wait a minute!"
- Still calls Josh "Josh" (not "Dad" or "Dada")
- Favorite foods are: pomegranate seeds and Pirate Booty
- Favorite movie is: Despicable Me ("Pickle Me")
- Loves CrossFit. Seriously. Kid is sipping the Kool-Aid.
- She can roll over both ways and scoot.
- Is happy 99% of the time unless she's not being held or talked to.
- Makes the LOUDEST happy noises on the planet. We jokingly say she "chirps." Really, it's more of a screech.
- She wants to put everything in her mouth and is desperate to eat solid food. We did baby-led weaning with Jack and it worked great, so we'll try that with Ellie and see if it is also successful.
- Still nursing around the clock, including waking up every 3-4 hours at night to nurse. Longest stretch we can get has been 6 hours, but after that she's hard to get back to sleep. That's killing me, but we're powering through.
- She dresses better than I do.
She has such great taste.
Anyways, once life starts slowing down and we eventually find our rhythm I will blog more. Yes, I still religiously go to CrossFit. Yes, I'm still working in the ER as a nurse. Yes, the kids stay home with me. Yes, we're all still sane (barely). Life is busy and crazy, but we love it and wouldn't trade this for the world.
The CrossFit Preggo.
Disclaimer: I'm writing a personal blog about my own education and experiences of exercising during pregnancy. In no way am I trying to tell anyone what to do during their own pregnancy or claiming to be an expert on fitness during pregnancy. While I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor, any exercise done during pregnancy should be under the supervision of your OBGYN/Midwife. No new exercise programs should be started during your pregnancy. In addition, modifications should be performed (and were DEFINITELY performed in my case) as your pregnancy progresses to ensure the safety of both you and baby. The goal is to share my passion for health and wellness through allowing you glimpses of my personal fitness journey.
Before pregnancy: As I've posted in a previous blog, I'm part of the cult of CrossFit. That being said, once I found out I was pregnant I wasn't prepared to give up everything I'd worked so hard to achieve in the past year. Luckily, my OBGYN knew that I loved to work out and let me continue doing so (I modified when I got later in my pregnancy). If anything, she encouraged me to be active and do what kept me most sane! My coaches at CrossFit also were familiar with my level of fitness (and insanity) and kept a close eye on me my entire pregnancy. When they heard about my easy labor and delivery they took personal credit for the success as if they'd delivered that baby themselves. I also continued to teach fitness classes and taught my last spin class at 38 weeks (only reason I stopped was because we moved 2 weeks before Ellie was born).
During pregnancy: I started modifying exercise moves about half way through my pregnancy. I really didn't decrease my weightlifting at all, having thoroughly researched why squats were better than Kegel exercises for strengthening pelvic floor muscles. Running was difficult about 5 months in, so I swapped that out for the rowing machine or Aero-Dyne. Around 8 1/2 months, pull-ups became impossible, so I modified with ring rows. Sprints became power-walks. Headstand push-ups became seated press. Cleans, snatches and anything I couldn't do from a rack position became step-ups. I think some of my coaches especially got a big kick out of making me do weighted step-ups several times a week.
Me: "So, can't do that move. What's my modification?"
Spencer/Josh: "Step-ups."
Me: "But, the move you're modifying isn't even remotely close to step-ups."
Spencer/Josh: "Doesn't matter. Do it."
I didn't watch the numbers on the scale obsessively. I knew I didn't need or want to go over a certain number, but I really made it a goal to eat as clean as possible and focus on being as strong as I could be for me and Ellie. It was really pleasantly surprising to see numbers stay a consistently low gain, that still resulted in a 8 1/2 lb baby and super healthy mama. My blood pressure was always low 100s/60s, heart rate mid 60s-70s and glucose tolerance test was also a breeze.
The point being: you can maintain a level of moderately intense physical activity being pregnant and still carry a healthy, term baby. I am not super woman. I tend to be whiney and dramatic. But I love the community and accountability that comes with being part of such a special group like CrossFit, so I was determined to keep going to be the best pregnant version of myself I could be.
Delivery: (read my whole blog about it here.) I labored naturally until 7 cm, when they broke my water. After that, from epidural to baby went by verrrry quickly. My OB was putting her gloves on and yelling, "DON'T PUSH" as Ellie came into the world in less than 1 push. No tearing, no pooping on myself, and I could still move my legs with the epidural. It was an incredibly easy delivery. All those squats paid off!
After pregnancy: With my OB's permission, I went back to CrossFit 10 days post-partum. I modified SIGNIFICANTLY for the first 6-8 weeks. I eased myself back into things, especially knowing that my joints were still loose (thanks, Relaxin) and my body still healing. My coaches, once again, have supported me unconditionally as I've slowly began to rebuild my endurance and strength. But, no surprise here, it's been relatively painless (other than running, which sucks no matter how in shape I am). I'm lifting heavier weights than ever, I can do some skills I could NOT do pre-pregnancy and lost the baby weight. I'm still soft in areas I'd rather not be soft in, but I know I'm a steady work in progress and I'm ever so thankful for a strong body that carries and sustains life.
Being pregnant is not an excuse to be sedentary. It's a chance for you to get creative with workouts and find what works best for you. For some it's walking and water aerobics. That's GREAT! I've taught fitness water classes for pregnant women. It feels INCREDIBLE to be weightless for an hour when you're 7+months pregnant. For me, it was CrossFit. I love how it made me feel strong and powerful during a period of my life that is normally not a confidence-boosting one. I also learned to appreciate my body no matter how it looks and hopefully will be able to teach my precious daughter that strong is beautiful and numbers on a scale don't matter.
ellie lynne.
Me: "I'm not pushing!"
As life typically goes, a lot of things seem to happen in a short period of time. It always surprises me how Josh & I tend to think the same things in the back of our head but it takes a couple of incidents to really bring our ideas to the surface.
Biggest change on the horizon (other than having another baby REALLY soon) is that we bought another house! Now, don't get me wrong. We loved our house in Oak Cliff. We poured blood, sweat, time and money into that place to make it our home, but once we thought moving out of state was inevitable, we knew our home needed to be shared with someone else (by the way, they haven't done anything to it yet… I also just revealed that I occasionally stalk my old house…) and that buying another house in Oak Cliff wasn't an option because of schools. I went and saw the house without Josh and made an offer on the spot because I loved it so much. They also have a mini-trampoline in the back which won Jack over (I also asked for it in the contract and got it — WHOO! super excited about that. mostly because I can't bargain).
Now, onto the series of unfortunate events that brought this to fruition.
Jack is a toddler. Toddlers walk really loudly. They stomp. They don't mean to stomp; it's not a conscious decision to move as loudly as possible, they just DO. Our neighbors downstairs from us DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. A few weeks ago I was cleaning up Jack's breakfast. He's stomping around with his ball in hand yelling, "Ball, mom! Ball!" Throwing it to me. Chasing the ball as I throw it back. And I hear, "BANG BANG BANG." The first thought that pops in my head is "Surely I did not just hear what I think I heard…" Then I hear it again, except louder. Jack looks at me impishly, thinks I'm playing a game with him and starts JUMPING UP AND DOWN.
So, Jack thinks it's a game. The dude downstairs thinks I'm being a huge ass. I KNOW he's being a huge ass – it's 11am for crying out loud. And I'm getting angrier and angrier. I call Josh, who, like a good husband, tells me I'm crazy and imagining things. Uh, no sir. I am not. And if you tell me that again I'm going to make you move in with that guy downstairs. At this point Jack is still jumping because homeboy is still banging. So, I tell Josh I'm going downstairs to have a chat with him. Josh then sobers up from his joking and realizes that I'm dead serious and am probably about to chop this guy's head off verbally (I was still thinking physically, too, at this point). However, reason won and I called the apartment manager (I do grown-up things sometimes). She explained we have a toddler and he whined that he works nights and needs his beauty sleep during the day. Two HUGE issues here with that statement:
1) I have a toddler. So, I obviously do not get sleep, either. Also, since I've worked nights I know what to do when I get home and need some sleep. I WEAR EAR PLUGS OR NOISE CANCELING HEAD PHONES. You can't expect people around you to stop living a normal life because you don't.
2) Everyone's ceilings in the building are 12 feet high (no exaggeration). If you really are THAT tired, why the hell are you standing up in your apartment BANGING ON THE CEILING IN UNISON WITH THE TODDLER UPSTAIRS. I know you aren't lying in bed! You're standing up! And probably yelling the same expletives I am! Again, we obviously have serious common sense issues here, bro.
The dude still bangs occasionally, but I don't really care because A) I won the apartment employees over by bringing them three boxes of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, and B) I can't get Jack to walk softer, so the situation is out of my control.
Second reason Josh and I both realized we needed a house ASAP: I can't park my car worth a damn. I've already scratched my 4 Runner a few times in small parking garages, and this garage is no exception. I drive well. I'm safe. I'm aware. I'm defensive. I am even good with directions. However, I cannot park in small spaces. Since I scratched the car recently in the same spot as I have in previous parking sins I thought Josh wouldn't notice. I obviously forgot who I was married to because he noticed less than 8 hours later. Whoops. Now he makes me practice parking with him in the car. I feel super cool when we do this. Not. I have flash backs of running into my parents' garage with my dad's brand new truck when I was 15. So, I get panicky and anxious. Not exactly a recipe for parking precision.
So, in May we move on to single-level living and safer parking situations. I'm praying Ellie decides to chill for awhile longer to give us time to move and unpack. We shall see what happens. Have I mentioned how pregnant I am?? I'll post pictures of the new house when we close in April. It really is an answer to prayer — we specifically prayed that we'd find a house that needed only aesthetic stuff done and that was move in ready. Even the paint colors in this house are perfect for us – so we really found a perfect match. Let the nesting begin!
it's shameful it's been over a month since my last blog post. I feel like life (this pregnancy especially) is flying by with so many memories and precious moments as a family of three that I don't want to lose.
My mom tells me constantly to write these precious moments down to freeze them in time. Reminding me how fast her babies grew and how fast mine will. Being a mother is hard. It's emotionally and physically exhausting. But daily I stop and remind myself that Jack won't be this size for much longer so I will gladly trade sleep for time spent reading together or playing in his tent. Times where he kicks his shoes off SOMEWHERE on our way to the park and I have to trek back 5 blocks to find it before we can actually play; his hand reaching for mine so he can lead me to this giant tree house just to count all the stairs we climb together.
We spent some time in San Diego this week, tagging along with Josh as he conquered the business world. Jack and I were able to spend a significant amount of time wandering the city together. On and off trolleys. Walking miles upon miles to see lions and pandas and pet goats and sheep at the San Diego Zoo. Getting so frustrated he wants to be active so much, when really it's all I've ever wanted. His giggles. The desire to climb on everything. His sweet hands trying to "high-five" the orangutan through the plexi-glass. His loud "HI" that he shouts to everyone we pass, causing them to stop, smile and say "hi" back. These special, wonderful moments. Just us.
Soon there will be another wonderful addition to our family. She's getting bigger. Stronger. She knows our voices, including her big brother's sweet little voice. She's active, similar to Jack, and I know that all the burpees and pull-ups I do in CrossFit probably don't help much. I'm excited and scared to see what she'll be like. To meet her for the first time and experience that same rush of overwhelming love that I felt with Jack.
For now, I'm trying to savor the moments with my current baby. Letting him sleep in my bed (heaven forbid I let him cry himself to sleep), skip the nursery in church or MOPS just because he cries, "Mama, up! Up!" Then does the sign for "please." I love him. And I know he'll be an outstanding big brother. We're slowly understanding "gentle" and practice it daily with P-Kiddy.
Enjoy some San Diego photos. Yep, that stupid backpack leash actually happened. I'm ashamed, but it bought us both some freedom and good laughs.
Resolved to be Unresolved.
I wrote this last month for LaModeDallas.com, but I think it really applies with maintaining a healthy balance during the entire year and focusing on healthy living rather than weight loss and bikini season. My one resolution for 2013 was to not be pregnant, but as you can see, I already bombed that one (AND I LOVE IT).
"In the busy Emergency Room I work as a nurse, the main problem I'm confronted with is people with chronic health problems expecting immediate results from their emergency care. Patients have a problem substituting emergency medicine for family health practice and they are often disappointed with the results. The same problem applies to the gym. I have clients who are desperate to lose ten pounds in only three days, or are trying out the "Diet Coke and Cigarettes" diet (where they only drink Diet Coke and EAT cigarettes to keep from getting hungry) to lose weight quickly. The results are the same – disappointed patients and clients.
We are part of a generation who wants instant gratification.
It is terrifying to think that way for several reasons:
1) You never get what you want when you want it.
2) Your health and emotional stability suffer when you try to force it.
3) The people around you pay the price for your temporary insanity.
As the New Year quickly approaches, I always hear people talking about their New Year's Resolutions (NYR) – what they want to change about themselves, how they want to lose weight and be healthier, what areas of their lives need rapid change and improvement to make the next year the best one yet. Initially, they come out of the holidays with contagious motivation. I love to teach fitness classes at the beginning of the year for this very reason. Everyone is so determined to work their hardest and be the best they can be. However, Spring rolls around and classes thin out until you have just the 'regulars' left – the individuals who are always in your classes like clockwork. Rain or shine, they come to your classes to exercise and be healthy. They put in the time and they see results. Not as quickly as some would like, but the results they see actually last. The NYR participants get frustrated when they look at the 'regulars' and see their dedication, hard work and motivation. They have a hard time remaining consistent with their resolutions because the good, healthy habits haven't been formed quite yet. They then give up and fall back into crash diets and occasional workouts when they need to look good for an event or vacation.
The challenge I want you to walk away with is this: resolve to be consistent. Start your resolutions now. Christmas is an excellent season to implement change and new beginnings. Take one healthy decision at a time to prepare you for a new year full of opportunity and potential.
1) Make one small change every month. Example: for the end of December and all of January, give up fast food. In February cut out alcohol (minus wine; I'll always allow wine). In March cut out refined sugars. Each small healthy choice leads to big changes come next December.
2) Serve others. You can burn some mega calories by volunteering and helping others. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter to sort cans or stack food boxes. Go to your local nursing home and give manicures to the sweet ladies who remind you of your grandma. I'm convinced that putting others before yourself helps increase happiness in your life. This increases serotonin and therefore, decreases cortisol (meaning that you burn fat and make someone else smile).
3) Move around for 30 minutes every day. I say this every blog, find something you enjoy and commit to it. Make small changes. Take the stairs at work instead of the elevator. Find a fitness DVD with your favorite love-to-hate trainer and perform 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Browse Pinterest for 'at home' workout ideas that you can do while watching TV. Those calorie-burning sessions add up quickly.
4) Recruit friends. Get the girls in your office to sign up for a half-marathon with you. Make your boyfriend do a sprint triathlon with you. Utilize Groupon for cheap deals on new workouts or yoga classes and buy one for you and your mom. You'll stick with any commitments if you know someone is counting on you to be there.
5) Go easy on yourself. You're not committing to your health the easy way, you're committing to your health the long-lasting way. You're going to screw up a few times and that's okay. The goal is to make changes that will be around next New Year's, so you're not resolving to lose those last 10 pounds or eat a healthier diet. Be proud of the changes you stick with and remember how far you've come.
Enjoy the new year and a fresh start. It's easy to lose focus of our healthy lifestyles when the season of over-stuffing and over-indulging ourselves is right in our faces (or in some cases, has settled in our rear end). The key to maintaining any healthy habits is making sure you set yourself up for success and don't beat yourself up when you occasionally slip. Just remember, there is no time like the present to resolve to be healthier. I'm right there with you."

A tanker carrying molasses has crashed into the Awakino Gorge, closing State Highway 3 north of New Plymouth this morning.
Sergeant Royston Betteridge, from New Plymouth police, said the driver had been trapped but was freed by 6.20am.
The truck had gone off the road and into the gorge. It was not immediately clear if it had gone into the river.
It appeared no molasses was leaking from the truck. Emergency services were notified at 5.30am when another truck driver drove out of the windy gorge into cellphone range and raised the alarm.
A rescue helicopter was on its way to the scene.
The Awakino Gorge is the coastal route between New Plymouth and Te Kuiti.

So, why was there a sequester?
Because both parties wanted a budget?
I don't think so. Mitt mentioned it several times in the debates and alluded to his opponents party as trying to hide their agenda by not passing a budget. Mitt also referenced his comments by telling a truthism...which is that a Presidents agenda is most reflected in his budget.
I don't need someone elses idea of what the sequester is about...
I can see what they do...
Your guy traded in entitlements for cuts in national defense....thinking that the Repubs wouldn't accept it....
your guy blew it. Now folks really know what he is capable of...
caring? I doubt it.
I already answered part of your first question, but found a great slide show that might help you out.
BTW, it's very windy today. I heard that the winds were going to die off, but it was going to drop into the 50'S! On the bright side, the rattlesnakes haven't come into my yard, yet.

Friend of the Disinformation Company Joe Rogan shares some of his thoughts in this short interview.
Friend of the Disinformation Company Joe Rogan shares some of his thoughts in this short interview.
If you didn't get a chance to catch it live, here's an archived recording of Disinformation Company friend Joe Rogan interviewing ethnopharmacologist Dennis McKenna, brother of the late Terrence McKenna.
The "Drunken Taoist" Daniele Bolelli once again visits Joe Rogan and Brian Redban for some verbal sparring on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Disinfonauts may be interested in this conversation between Joe Rogan and roboticist/author Daniel H. Wilson. The guys cover a variety of topics, including the evolution of artificial intelligence, ethics in robotics, and the singularity.

Joe Rogan and Duncan Trussell talk about ancient cataclysms and the Göbekli Tepe ruins. Audio from The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. Animated by Paul Klawiter.
A synergistic plant teacher to redeem mankind? Another hippy escape hatch? Whatever you make of Ayahuasca, her roots are deep and her branches are percolating through the psychic concrete of suburban dementia as we live and breathe.
Giorgio Tsoukalos, editor of long-running alternative history site Legendary Times and now perhaps better known as the dude with the hair on History Channel's Ancient Aliens series, joins Rogan and Brian Redban for the uniquely wonderful "Joe Rogan Experience":
Via the Joe Rogan Experience:
Sam Harris writes about the fallout from a recent visit with Joe Rogan on his blog:
I recently had a very enjoyable three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan on his podcast, where the topics ranged from jihad to probability theory to psychedelics. But I subsequently received a fair amount of abuse online for a few things I said about Islam and our adventures in the war on terror.
For instance, I appear to have left many viewers with the impression that I believe we invaded Afghanistan for the purpose of rescuing its women from the Taliban. However, the points I was actually making were rather different…

Not sure which I like best. This one I think, the words add a lot to it and the sepia seems to soften the image. With the words it looks like a CD cover, or poster. Nice version.

HoopsHype Schedule rumors
Tim Bontemps: According to @tfrank14 the Pacers and Celtics will be first teams to play less than 82 games since the league went to an 82-game schedule. Twitter @TimBontemps
The NBA announced early Tuesday a "comprehensive global preseason schedule" that involves the Chicago Bulls playing the first-ever game in Brazil. The Bulls will face the Washington Wizards at Rio de Janeiro's HSBC Arena on Oct. 12. Chicago Tribune
The veteran big man wouldn't deny the reputation that Brazil — and Rio in particular — has for being a little wild. "I know, and the whole world knows that," Nene said. "You guys hear about the Carnival. All celebrities come down. But there's a lot of things to do. Nice beach, nice mall. A lot of shows, a lot of events. For me, nothing's changed … but for [my teammates], it's going to be a lot of new things. I hope they slow down." Coach Randy Wittman didn't spend a lot of time elaborating on the trip. "Eh, the weather's nice, especially at that time of year, I hope," he said. Washington Post
The NBA global games will conclude with two games in China between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. The teams will play on Oct. 15 at the MasterCard Center in Beijing, then travel to Shanghai for a game at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Oct. 18. To date, the NBA has staged 138 preseason and regular-season games in 19 countries and territories across Europe, the Americas and Asia since 1978. NBA.com
The 76ers may be headed to Europe in the fall. The Web site solobasket.com is reporting (in Spanish) that the Sixers are scheduled to participate in the 2013 NBA Europe Live Tour next October. Solobasket said there will be at least one game in Bilboa (northern Spain). phillyburbs.com
Tom Moore: If reports in Spain are accurate, the #Sixers may be playing at least one preseason game in Bilbao (northern Spain) in October. Twitter @tmoorepburbs
Several professional and college sports teams were forced to rearrange their travel plans as a massive storm swept through the Northeast. The NBA's New York Knicks were stuck in Minnesota after playing the Timberwolves on Friday night, hoping to try to fly home sometime Saturday. The San Antonio Spurs were also staying overnight in Detroit after seeing their 11-game winning streak end against the Pistons, awaiting word on when they might be able to fly to New York for their game Sunday night at Brooklyn. 13wmaz.com
The Lakers are expected to play October exhibition games in Beijing and Shanghai before next season as part of the NBA's annual China Games series, although the NBA has not announced its plans yet. Bryant, who has an epic fan following in Asia, has said he might retire when his contract expires at the end of next season. Dwight Howard, who could re-sign with the Lakers this offseason, did a promotional tour for Adidas in China last summer also. Orange County Register
Brian Windhorst: According to @LiShuangfu Lakers & Warriors will play games in China next fall, Pacers & Rockets will play in Taipei & Philippines Twitter @WindhorstESPN
The seventh-winningest coach in league history told NBA.com that the travel has become especially wearing and that he may speak with team officials about staying overnight in a city and flying to the next stop the following morning, rather than leaving with the team after the game and often arriving early in the morning. Karl said he does not, however, envision missing games. "I don't think it'll ever go that far," he said. "I've thought about not traveling with the team on the late-night flights. I've thought about instead of getting to bed at 4 o'clock in the morning, I'll let my coaches have the morning shootaround. I'll sleep in in L.A. or I'll sleep in in Sacramento, get up at 7:30 or 8 o'clock, catch a flight. I've thought about that. But my energy level is getting better and stronger every year. I'm feeling healthier. I'm trying to eat better. People ask me all the time how am I doing. I'm doing a hell of a lot better than I was doing before I got cancer." NBA.com
"The NBA is four to five games a week," he told NBA.com. "I think I can handle that the way I'm doing it now, but I also don't want to intensify my life any more. I would like to slowly cut whatever I'm cutting. Five or 10 percent of my intensity. I don't want the organization to be unhappy with me. I think my organization's happy with me, but I delegate a lot. I give it to my assistant coaches a lot more than I think most coaches do." NBA.com
By the end, though, the product the Lakers put on the court drew cheers of amusement and derision Thursday at Madison Square Garden. Actually, it started in the first quarter, long before the Knicks' 116-107 victory. The Lakers (9-14) didn't find anything close to a tonic, falling further into mediocrity, or sub-mediocrity, if that's even possible. "I wish we had the Washington Generals on the schedule," Bryant said afterward. Los Angeles Times
"It is pretty logical,'' Popovich said before his gritty understudies made a game out of it, leading 98-93 with two minutes left before previously lackluster Miami came back and took the lead for good at 100-98 on a Ray Allen 3-pointer with 22.6 seconds left. "I don't think it was a tough decision at all. In fact, the decision was made when the schedule came out.'' FOXSports Florida
Yet one of the more interesting changes to the international basketball calendar involves the introduction of six planned qualifying windows for the 2019 World Cup that will be staged in November 2017, February 2018, June 2018, September 2018, November 2018 and February 2019. You'll notice, as you re-read that sentence, that four of those six windows take place at the same time that the NBA schedule calls for NBA players to play NBA games. ESPN.com
The notion of an international break in the NBA, however, is a complete non-starter. Even at this early juncture, one source familiar with the NBA's long-range thinking told ESPN.com that building breaks into the NBA's regular-season schedule is simply "not being considered." Not now and not later. ESPN.com
How big a deal is that? Not that massive, realistically, when viewed through a strictly American prism. USA Basketball will continue to field teams that qualify for every major tournament even if it has to trot out a pack of All-Stars from the D-League for most of the qualifying games starting in November 2017. As one longtime European coach told ESPN.com this week: "There's no way FIBA would go to a system that hurts the big countries. They want the stars playing in the biggest tournaments." ESPN.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Biggest hurdle in Lakers-Jackson talks remains "How Phil's going to handle the travel schedule," source w/ knowledge of discussions tells Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA
The NBA has rescheduled the game between the Knicks and Nets, which was originally to have been played tonight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, for Monday, November 26 at 7 p.m.. The game will be televised by TNT. The game was to have been the season opener for both teams and the first NBA regular season game played at the brand new Barclays Center, and the Nets' first regular season game in Brooklyn. However, because of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy -- including the shutdown of the New York City subway system, the NBA decided Wednesday to postpone the game. Newark Star-Ledger

THE Orange CYMS Cricket Club continued its long tradition of junior development by sending three players to train with the Randwick-Petersham Green Shield Team last month.
Will and Hamish Cranney and Matt Van Schaik made the trip to Sydney to take part in three training sessions - two at the Randwick-Petersham nets at Snape Park and one at the SCG indoor nets.
The CYMS juniors trained with Randwick-Petersham first grade players and coaches while also conducting in-game scenarios against and with the Green Shield players.
Then they watched the grade players train later in the afternoon.
The trip is designed to give junior players an idea of how much work is needed to go further in the sport.
"It gives the boys an idea of how good they need to be to get to the next level, and how they can get a start in grade cricket in Sydney for the future," CYMS' Michael Wright said.
"One of the boys who went down last year was invited to play some of the games in January. The extra knowledge and skill he gained and showed in club games, earned him the CYMS all rounder of the year award."
Over the last off-season, CYMS also renewed their overseas link with Doncaster Town Cricket Club in the Yorkshire Premier League with Nick Wright making the trip to England.
The club plays in one of only 23 sanctioned English and Wales Cricket Board competitions throughout the United Kingdom.
The playing ranks include current English under 19s players as well as county and ex-county players.
Going on to cement the club's first grade No.5 batting position, Wright helped Doncaster finish fifth in a 14-team competition, beating every team bar one throughout the year.

"The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation." ~ Emma Goldman

There are school buses painted in bright orange color in the USA. Haha, I liked them.
I could see probably the first school bus in the USA just in Nogales - look at my picture. Watch for them and give way to them when they enter traffic from a school bus stop. Stop when the bus stops with orange back lamps flashing.
Driving around Nogales I found this building with a story on a groundfloor as you can see on my picture. It's called La Cinderella. Hmm... I didn't know what Cinderella meant in English when I was there.
The original Cindirella was a girl in a traditional story who was badly treated by her family. Nowadays the word "Cinderella" is used to name someone or something that is given little attention or care, esp. less than they deserve. Hmm... Virtual Tourist still seems to be the Cinderella of the internet. Is it correct in my English? He?
Much more about Cindirella: click here
From my friend Linda (lmkluque) from San Diego, California:
The Story of Cinderella, by the Grimm Brothers, came with the immigrants from Europe and has been told to almost every child in the USA since. It is a story of good over evil. If you are interested you can read the full story here:
Disney has made a cartoon feature of the story--with literary license taken--and in this age, most children know Disney's version- but the message of the fairytale has been kept.
Thank you Linda :-)).
In contrast to other US towns there were very few restaurants located in downtown in Nogales. It seems that most people/tourists go to eat in... Mexican Nogales.
But there were quite a lot of various restaurants close to Motel 6: at West Mariposa Road - between the motel and exit 4 on I-19. There were a few restaurants along I-19 BUS (Grand Avenue) southwards as well.
Whenever you look for food, gas and/or eating while driving in the USA - look up to find commercials.
There are a lot of commercials "in sky" = on tall poles in the USA. In Nogales as well - just to be well seen from far distance while driving. That's why I could easy find my accommodation there: Motel 6.
The same in most European countries, btw does this idea derive from the USA? I think so.
I am not sure about it but I noticed that they paint quite a lot of buildings just in green in Nogales; not pastel green like in many European Mediterranean countries (Italy) but bright, vivid green I could say. Hmm... I have probably never seen such green till that time except in... Tijuana, Mexico a day before.
Why just green? Is the bright green paint cheaper there he? I think that it's Mexican influence as green is national Mexican color. The flag of Mexico is green-white-red.
From my friend Dee (Yaqui) from Tehachapi, California, USA:
You got it, they (Mexicans) love green because it's in their flag. White is too bland and red is considered a little loud to them.
Thank you, Dee.
Public library is surely a building or room which has a collection, esp. of books, for people to read or borrow without payment (public means that it's paid by tax-payers, usually paid by city or county).
It seems that public libraries in the USA are much more public organizations/institutions than only a place to read/borrow books. They offer free internet access for at least up to one hour. They organize and/or promote various cultural events. For example the library in Nogales organized children's story hour on Wednesday mornings as you can read on my picture.
I liked a lot a few public libraries I was lucky to visit during my USA trip.
The Nogales-Santa Cruz County Public Library offered free access to the Internet.
I asked the librarian about it and I was asked to write down my name and address in a special register book. Then she wrote down the hour (time) and informed me that I have up to one hour of free internet access. I asked about... more hehe. She smiled and replied that it's no problem unless there are more people than computers connected to internet at that moment.
There were about 10 computers and maybe 3-4 people using them when I was there so I was able to use my connection longer. Hmm... I didn't need it or better to say I didn't want to "waste" more time there.

I have one thing mainly to say about PIzza Express and it's that they don't mind when I ask for a pizza with NO cheese. I realise it's a weird request, but it's never been any problem, and just means i've made several return visits. The service is great, the staff are friendly, it's a little on the pricey side, but great for a night out.

The PPU program prepares students for an exciting and competitive career in research science, through the development of a research project and the participation to academic courses and professional development trainings. The requested duration for a PhD in France is three years.
The PPU program has its primary foundations based on scientific research. Students benefit from the highest training in conducting state of the art research by mentorship, active planning and execution, and discussion of results with their Ph.D advisors and other world renowned scientists. A very dense scheduling of lectures and seminars by leading scientists, as well as congresses and workshops, are also part of the exposure to ideas and data that students will benefit on campus.
The students within this program are well supported by the PPU graduate office, present as advocates for the students' scientific education and to provide assistance in any practical matters. A thesis advisory committee (TAC) follows the students' research progress, offering guidance as needed in addition to that provided by the laboratory in which the student is working.
Students are responsible for attending a specified number of courses dedicated to fundamental biological concepts and public health. The course work fulfills requirements set forth by the universities, usually one to two weeks per year. Multiple theoretical and practical courses are available, both at Institut Pasteur Teaching center and in Parisian universities. Students have their choice of courses to take, based on their personal backgrounds, interests and topics of research, in accordance with their host laboratory.
If appropriate for the development of their project, students will also benefit technical trainings by members of core facilities. Furthermore, working at the Institut Pasteur provides students with the opportunity to attend some of the many cutting-edge scientific seminars and participate in on-site symposia. Students are also encouraged to apply at international workshops and conferences, for which the PPU program will offer monetary support.
The Ph.D. program staff is fully committed to building a strong network within each incoming class of students, between all of students in the program as a whole as well as with students and scientists of the campus. Successful scientific research requires the exchange and discussion of ideas and the ability to work as a team. They will assist at a monthly interdisciplinary journal club.
Complementing academic trainings and in addition to hands-on laboratory training, the PPU program requires attendance at several professional development training courses. The latter aim to enhance the students' skills in oral presentation (3 days). The training courses offered also cover other important aspects of the professional life, from as diverse topics such as bioethics, good laboratory practice, authorship, and clinical research (half a day). As a means to learn how to organize a symposium, students will be in charge of the organization of the annual retreat for all PPU students.
Students will benefit from intensive French language courses (two-hour sessions per week, on campus, throughout the first year). During the completion of the program, students will also be informed about the Institut Pasteur international research network and the main missions of the Institut Pasteur (workshop on "Introduction to the Institut Pasteur international network", half a day). Various other training sessions are available at both the Institut Pasteur and the Universities.
Informal meetings (3 per year) will give the students a chance to discuss with the members of the Ph.D. Program Committee and Ph.D. office on individual questions and challenges or unforeseen difficulties encountered.
The students of the 2nd year are responsible for the organization of the PPU annual retreat, in collaboration with members of the graduate office. The retreat lasts three days and takes place at a rotating location outside of Paris (in very nice settings). The Ph.D. advisors and faculty members are invited and students are encouraged to invite a few scientists who are experts on the topic of the chosen theme of the year to present keynote lectures.
One presentation is dedicated to the scientist who gave his/her name to the 1st year class. In addition, all students are expected to present their projects and/or their results, making this retreat a truly interdisciplinary symposium. Furthermore, students discuss their research progresses with scientists both from within and outside of the Institut Pasteur. The goal is also to reinforce the networking among students and with other scientists.

Lightweight and incredibly compressible, Patagonia's Nano Puff Vest ($149, patagonia.com) is described by one male owner as possibly the best outdoor layering product ever created. Two zippered pockets guard a cellphone and IDs, and the entire vest can implode to fit inside its own internal chest pocket with clip-in loop. It's equally popular in the women's style, which, in black, is the go-to for Tracey Lomrantz Lester, women's editorial director of Gilt.com, whenever she travels where the temperatures might dip.

Mateo Solares came to Argentina from Bolivia a few years ago. The 25-year-old was born, and grew up as, Moyra Veronica. Biologically female, Solares says he always felt like a guy.
The main reason Solares moved to Argentina is because it seemed like an easier place to transition into a life as a young man. He says having an ID card that reflects how he sees himself is huge.

Let's say you're pushing 115 mph on the highway, racing neck and neck with a Chevy Camaro — in an online video game, of course.
Right as you're pulling into the lead, you notice a billboard pop up on your TV screen. Early voting has begun? Voteforchange.com? Whoa, keep your eyes on the road!
This is Need for Speed: Carbon, one of 18 games that the Obama campaign advertised in during the 2008 campaign. This year, President Obama is back at it, running ads in Madden NFL 13, on the free online game site Pogo.com, and in mobile games like Tetris.
Here's something President Obama and Mitt Romney agree on: America's tax system is too complicated. Both men have outlined changes that are broadly similar, but with some important differences.
The Problem:
Today's tax code is like a department store, where the price tags are high, but there are lots of coupons, sales and weekend specials. That creates some inequities. Just as shoppers can pay different prices depending on which day they buy, taxpayers with the same income can pay very different rates depending on which deductions they qualify for.

Pharma Marketers: FDA Taking Too Long Developing Social Media Guidelines
The FDA held public hearings just last week to discuss establishing guidelines for pharmaceutical marketers operating in the new world of social media. Already some are complaining that the process is taking too long.
"Does the FDA get it?" If it did, "they wouldn't be having this meeting now, many, many months after it was already apparent how quickly Web communications is changing," Mark Senak, author of the blog Eye on FDA and a senior vice-president at Fleishman-Hillard told BusinessWeek.
John Bell, President of the Board of Word of Mouth Marketing Association and Managing Director, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide agreed that things will take a while. "We're spending time today in initial discussions that is as much about how the process should unfold as it is what should be the precise guidelines," he told PRNewser last week.

Generating new sales is the lifeblood of all business and sales professionals. Your business cannot grow with the list of clients you have right now. Growth comes from a roster of fresh faces and new leads. Throughout the day, you employees are hitting the streets, chasing down sales. Time is money; make it easier for your employees to close the sale. In this day and age, sales leads can come from the professionals.
Look into a professional provider for your new list of leads. Your new list doesn't have to be long; in this case, quality is more important than quantity. Choose a professional provider and more of your sales calls will end in actual sales. Because every company is different, providers create a customized list that will reach a well-defined audience. A new list doesn't mean that you neglect your current clients. In fact it can enhance the relationships because of the quality time that your reps can devote.
A group of sales leads will turn up a carefully chosen and arranged inventory of potential new customers. These databases of leads will allow your representatives to close in on the people who are already receptive to your company's service or product. You can use this list at the left when you need to learn more.
Briefly describe your project and get matched with the top vendors!

Hertford doesn't have a cinema but there are cinemas in Stevenage and Hatfield. There is one Night Club in Hertford - Zeros which can be found in Parliament Square. A number of pubs in the town have late licences on Thursday through to Saturday, including The White Hart, The Blackbirds, Baroosh and The Stone House. You will often have to queue to get in to any of these towards the weekend. The Snug bar in Railway Street also has a late licence and is also non-smoking.
This is easily the best night out in Hertford. It has 2 floors; downstairs is more chilled so you can chat, where as upstairs has a club atmosphere. It's a great crowd with a friendly attitude and friendly staff, including the door staff!! The music is commercial and offers a huge variety including rock, pop, indie, house, r'n'b, and other stuff too. You do need to get down early, 'cause there's quite often a que outside. If you haven't been before it's worth a visit!
Dress Code:
Smart Casual. Most people were dressed quite relaxed.
