"The novel is rich with nuanced relationships built on ambivalent motives, such that in emotional terms it is Dickens's most original and rewarding achievement. For me it ranks with 'Great Expectations' and 'Bleak House', as one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.
This is in spite of its flaws. As many have noted below, the ending is very badly handled and the pacing is inconsistent. I found Book 1 especially sketchy in terms of 'where is this novel going? Is he just setting up a series of satirical sketches that lead nowhere?'
But once you're in the heart of it, it explores an extraordinary set of themes:- the sustained effect of unexpected wealth redistribution; the false presumption that men are the rightful agents of business; whether wealth has a merely wasting effect on society; the virtual impossibility of disentangling your emotions from economic motives (Dickens only finally achieves this disentangling through an unconvincing deus ex machina); becoming estranged from one's own legal personality; the phoniness of Dickens's earlier orphan complex; etc.
The novel is also notable for (probably) Dickens's strongest female characters - Bella Wilfer (until the tragically fudged ending, which turns her into yet another of Dickens's angelic women); Lizzie Hexam (who also ends up as 'wife'); Jenny Wren; Abbey Potterson; and Pleasant Riderhood. It's why their relationships feel nuanced and relatable. Bella's rejection of Rokesmith means that both experience a suppression of identity and desire. Perversely, this brings them closer to what they really feel about the mechanical trappings of social status. Similarly, Lizzie Hexam's ability to choose between Wrayburn and Headstone gives her a power that radically alters all of their lives. However, her choice is not neutral - it means different and uncertain outcomes in terms of current v future social status, educational mentality, family affection, etc. And it's because it appears to not merely be a choice based on desire (though for Lizzie it is) that it sends both men (especially Headstone) crazy.
As I said, the originality of Our Mutual Friend's emotional explorations is absolutely remarkable. Another notch up to Dickens's genius."

Trailer Talk: 'Man of Steel' Still a Force for Good Despite Darker Hues Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 17 Apr 2013 post a comment The latest trailer for Man of Steel, the glossy reboot of the fabled Superman franchise, may look as dark as most modern comic book sagas. It's got producer Christopher Nolan's fingerprints all over it, from the haunting score to the oh, so serious tone. Yet our final glimpse at the film before its June 14 release reminds us why we cared about the man in blue in the first place. He's a force for good, and no amount of rebooting apparently will change that. The film's newest trailer is a thing of beauty, a poetic look at the origin template complete with great actors (Russell Crowe), a majestic score (Hans Zimmer) and a thoroughly clean break from previous franchise installments. Once more, Superman comes of age with remarkable powers but is told to hide them from the public. And, of course, he is torn between following his parents' wishes and helping others. "I have to believe that you were sent here for a reason ... you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is," says Papa Kent (Kevin Costner). "You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards," says Crowe as Superman's biological father. "In time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders." The trailer's waning moments are filled with fast cuts, the kind that leave viewers dizzy, not entertained. Perhaps it's the studio's way of teasing the action to come. Or, perhaps director Michael Bay visited the set and refused to leave. The 2006 Superman Returns angered conservatives when it purposedly edited out, "the American way" from the character's iconic description. Man of Steel may pull off a similar stunt, but the trailer suggests it has Superman's decency and greatness firmly in mind. Comments

It was clear even before the first ball was struck in Sunday's men's final that this would be an unusual treat at the staid All England club, where the all-white dress code was waived so Olympians could display their national colors.
Standing ovations are customary when revered champions step onto Center Court. But the ovation when Federer led Murray out lasted through the players' warmups. And once play got under way, the fans didn't politely applaud excellent shots, as Wimbledon crowds do; they erupted in lusty, barroom cheers.

Ayden Richmond isn't the kind of athlete who accepts what he perceives as anything other than success.
To that end, the son of Jodi (Springer) and Jeff Richmond has been itching to get back in the gym after he made 21 of his 25 free-throw attempts at the Elks Hoop Shoot national championships last Saturday in Springfield, Mass.
"I want to get that 21 out of my system," he said. "I'll try and shoot a 25 then go on to the bigger ball for next year."
"That fits his personality," Jeff Richmond said. "He 's the kind of kid that if you tell him something's impossible, he'll go and try to do it. He'll keep trying until he does it."
Ayden Richmond, a 9-year-old third grader at Cork Elementary, finished seventh in the 8- and 9-year-old division at Western New England University.
"It was hard because I made it that far then finished seventh," Ayden Richmond said. "I had a lot of fun and made some new friends. One of my friends won the older age group."
"He was a little disappointed," Jeff Richmond said. "The tears started and he was pretty depressed. Day by day, he's gotten a little better
"He took it real hard. He said he didn't accomplish his goal. We told him he's not always going to accomplish what he wants to, but God has a reason. It's a hard lesson to be learned, but it will be over time. He made a lot of memories through the competition and he gave us a lot of memories, as well."
After the first 10 attempts, Ayden Richmond was perfect and tied for the lead.
"He was the only kid turned (away from the competition) with his ears covered," Jeff Richmond said. "He looked back at us and we gave him the thumbs up because he was in the lead. He was on and feeling good."
That feeling didn't last as 11 other competitors had to take their turns before Ayden Richmond got to shoot again. He missed four of his next 15 attempts and slid back to seventh place. The eventual winner made all 15 of his shots.
"It just takes so long to shoot and there are so many kids," Jeff Richmond said. "There are 12 kids. The kid who won, his best score at any of the competitions (leading up to nationals) was a 20. He was unconscious.
"The Elks do a good job in keeping the same format all the way through, but there are so many kids it makes the process so much slower. That hurt a lot of the kids in the second rack."
That's the nature of young kids at high-pressure events. Anything can, and usually does, happen.
"One of the directors told me that they could go back and run every one of the age groups again and there would be a completely different top three in all of the divisions," Jeff Richmond said.
It was tough for the Richmonds not to be able to console Ayden directly following his second set of shots.
"They basically took possession of the kids from the time they went to breakfast until after everybody shot. When his turn was over, he went over and sat down and started crying.
"I wanted to go grab him and hug him. They don't allow any interaction between the parents and the kids until the competition is over. I wanted to tell him how proud we were of him. It was hard to see him sitting there on the floor after he shot. It was very tough for Jodi and I."
The Richmonds are appreciate of all the support from all the different sources it came from along the way.
"We have to thank Geneva Recreation Center and Spire," Jeff Richmond said. "They've been great. They've let us practice as much as we needed to.
"Also, our church, Madison Park United Methodist, has been a great supporter of us."
Ayden and Jeff Richmond now have a little less than a calendar year to prepare for the next competition. There will be an addition to their training sessions going forward. Ayden's little sister Brooke Richmond, 7, will be old enough to compete the next time around.
"He was actually mad at me because I wouldn't take him to the gym to practice," Jeff Richmond said. "I told him we were going to take a few days to relax and get caught up on everything. He has school work that needs to be caught up. He's a motivated young guy. He wants to get back out there.
"The Elks actually have it up on their website that it's 352 days until next year. His little sister gets to go with us now, too. She was mad at me, too, because we didn't go shoot. She wanted to go with us. I thought the last thing (Ayden) wanted to do was go and shoot.
"He first shot at the Ashtabula County championships on Dec. 15. He's been shooting every day for the last five months. It's sad the ride is over."
Ettinger is a freelance writer from Ashtabula.
Let's keep shooting

BRINK is a creative digital agency pushing boundaries in web, mobile, social, video and even indie film.
I gave you BRINK's pick of the most enticing beer bottles last week, so this week I thought I'd share an enviable bottle of whiskey, via Cool Hunting. Monkey Shoulder is a three malt blend, an unprecedented feat, and the results are just right. We know Glenfiddich, Belvenie and Kininvie are inside there, but only the "malt master" knows how long all three hang out in bourbon casks until they are just ripe. Anyway, the bottle is suave and classic but with just a bit of whimsy, thanks to the three little monkeys perched at the top. Whiskey makes me aggro, but if you are a burgeoning (or straight-up) aficionado check out a more comprehensive list of the best bottles.

Until Your Heart StopsUntil Your Heart Stops: Errors [12-inch]Errors [12-inch] (2011)Creator-Destructor Reviewer Rating: 3.5 Contributed by: OverDefinedOverDefined (others by this writer | submit your own)
Until Your Heart Stops is an extremely talented hardcore band from San Francisco, Calif., whose previous 7" release landed on my top EPs of 2009 list squarely between the Hope Conspiracy's True Nihilist and Paint It Black's Amnesia. With such a solid and promising debut release, my hopes were high for the band's first full-length, Errors.

Reviews by Darkmagus82:Darkmagus82Montana 4.25/5 rDev +9.8% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25 Poured from bottle into a snifter Appearance – The beer pours a nearly pitch black color with a small tan colored head. The head fades quite quickly leaving a good level of lace on the sides of the glass. Smell – Coffee and chocolate mixed with a good caramel sweetness are the heaviest and the majority of the aroma on this one. Mixed with these smalls however are some other aromas of a light vanilla, some smells of an oaky nature as well as a light boozy smell. Taste – The taste begins with a big dose of creamy and smooth chocolate and coffee. Some sweeter flavors of vanilla and caramel are present upfront and are soon met with some flavors of a more milky and creamy nature bringing a more milk chocolate mocha flavor to the brew. Soon a little bit of bitterness enters the taste as some more roasted malt and coffee flavors come to the tongue. Other more bitter flavors of an earthy hop taste come to the tongue more toward the end of the taste. This mixed with a more oaky taste ends up leaving a roasty cappuccino taste to the tongue. Mouthfeel –The body of the beer is big and robust with a nice thick creaminess which matched the nice dark roasted malt and sweeter cappuccino flavor of the brew very well. This mixed with the lighter carbonation make for a fantastic sipper. Overall – Quite delicious. A big sweet coffee/cappuccino stout with a nice smooth flavor profile and feel. Give it a chance if you can.

Served chilled... A) This is a very dark brown with a frothy tan head. Nice retention and lacing. S) Delivers a nice fresh roasted coffee aroma. Some toasted malt with a little sweetness too. T) The coffee flavor is very nice. It's like a mocha blend, because you definitely find some chocolate here as well. A splash of cream, with perhaps a drizzle of caramel. It's hard to believe this is around 10% ABV. M) Medium to full bodied with pretty soft carbonation. A smooth, creamy treat for the palate. O) When someone mentions Lagunitas, I pretty much think of their deliciously hoppy offerings, but I have to say this is a fantastic Stout. Glad to recommend this beer.

Tuesday's announcement of Disney's $4 billion purchase of Lucasfilm caused major ripples of excitement - as well as a few freakouts - among Star Wars fans, especially the news that a planned seventh chapter in the sci-fi saga is expected to land in 2015.
MORE: Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4 billion
Many would-be Jedi took to Twitter to express both their joy and their doubts about what such a showbiz marriage might mean to one of Hollywood's longest-running and most profitable franchises, whose worldwide box office stands at $4.5 billion.
British actor Simon Pegg, who was Scotty in the 2009 big-screen revival of Star Trek, went for an inside joke at first: "No Simba, I am your father. Oh, wait, he was, wasn't he."
That tweeted insight will most amuse those who know that James Earl Jones is the voice of Darth Vader as well as that of The Lion King's Mufasa.
Pegg then reassured his geek brethren: "For the record, I have no problem with Disney, I am a huge fan and I'm sure it's actually good news for Star Wars fans."
Seth MacFarlane, the upcoming Oscar ceremony host responsible for TV's Family Guyand the hit movie comedy Ted,provided an opposing view with a reference to one of Disney's more notorious recent flops: "Looking forward to seeing what exciting new Star Wars adventures will be cooked up by the dream factory that brought us Mars Needs Moms!"
The news also inspired more than a few to ponder which of the characters in Star Wars mastermind George Lucas' 35-year-old universe should - or shouldn't - reappear in Episode VII. Paddy Power, Ireland's largest bookmaker, was moved to place odds on who was most likely to make the cut.
Topping the list of those with the best chance of a comeback: a three-way tie among those lovable droids C-3PO and R2-D2 along with Yoda, even if he died at age 900 in 1983's Return of the Jedi. Ranking No. 4? Cult hero Boba Fett, the galactic bounty hunter who also apparently met his maker in Jedi.
Among the leads, Luke Skywalker is given the best chance to swing a light saber once more, followed by Princess Leia and Han Solo.
As for the least likely to reappear: Fat Dancer, presumably the plump Askajian performer from Jabba the Hutt's palace, and bad guy Admiral Piett of the Imperial Navy's Death Squadron.
Naturally, the loyal legions have their own thoughts about which characters deserve another chance in the movie spotlight.
Akron, Ohio, resident Mark Johnson, 34, of the movie site Awardscircuit.com, is anxious for Han Solo to fly again. "He was my favorite character growing up, and I'd love to see how things turn out for him and Leia, and perhaps their children. It would be cool to see their children as the next major characters - a nice mix of Jedi and cocky bastards, one would assume."
He also wouldn't mind if C-3PO, R2-D2 and Boba Fett took another bow.
Tish Wells, 54, a journalist from Bethesda, Md., concurs with Johnson: Han Solo all the way. "He might have a lot harder time adjusting to life after the rebellion," she says. "It's like an entrepreneur moving into management." She also wouldn't mind seeing the divisive Salacious B. Crumb, Jabba the Hutt's annoying court jester, one more time. "He appeals to my wild side."
But she gives a thumbs-down to another helping of Watto, the greedy merchant introduced in 1999's The Phantom Menace that some derided as a Jewish stereotype, declaring him, "Someone I'd like to swat."

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons are counting on Malliciah Goodman causing problems for quarterbacks with his long arms and strong hands.
The fourth-round pick from Clemson was one of two defensive ends taken by Atlanta. The Falcons drafted TCU's Stansly Maponga in the fifth round, and the first-year players had their first NFL workouts in Saturday's rookie camp.
After releasing sacks leader John Abraham, the Falcons signed free-agent defensive end Osi Umenyiora from the Giants. Goodman has a chance to start with Umenyiora.
Goodman impressed scouts by using his unusually long arms and strong hands to deflect blockers. He is listed as 6-foot-4 and 276 pounds, and his arms measure 36 3/8 inches -- the longest of any defensive lineman at the NFL combine.

On the home page it doesn't allow me to have bullets in a post. When I inspect the source the ul and li tags are gone. Where in the theme's code is it stripping the tags so I can have the bullets show up? Thank you.
On the home page it doesn't allow me to have bullets in a post. When I inspect the source the ul and li tags are gone. Where in the theme's code is it stripping the tags so I can have the bullets show up? Thank you.
Could you please provide a link to your site so I can take a look?
Well I was able to stop the stripping today but it caused another problem from the change in the function, but it worked to my advantage. So there is probably a better way to do it than I did.
But here is an alternative fix to stop the stripping and fix the problem it caused after. This will only work for FOREVER THEME.
On line 58 in recent-posts I changed it to this...

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single'); ?>

'
If you have done it right, the tag stripping should have stopped and it should have caused the post to double up the title. I didn't know how to change this within the function so I went to the CSS to fix it and added this...
.recent-header {Hi there, the theme definitely shouldn't be stripping bullets from posts on the homepage. I just did a test with a clean version of Forever and WordPress 3.6, and I see bullets on the homepage just fine, as you can see in this screenshot:
I'm glad you found a workaround, but if you'd like to troubleshoot this further, you might try:
- deactivating all your plugins temporarily. If the problem goes away, reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.
- disabling your child theme temporarily.
Good luck.
That is odd, I have WordPress 3.6 and the Theme version is 1.2.1. I switched to the non-child version and disabled all my plugins and they still weren't showing up. Not sure what would be causing that if you were able to get it to work. I never edited the original theme's code.
Ya know what, I may not have mentioned it before but the problem is on the post/home page as a 'standard' sticky post. Were you trying it on the single post page? The image was too small to tell.
Hmm - my screenshot was from the homepage, which is set to display latest posts - not a single post. I tried setting the post to sticky but the bullets are still there. It's a standard post format.
Is it possible for me to take a look at your site if it's online?
Is it the same thing if you use a different browser?
Sure here it is with the plugins deactivated in the original theme with no code edited. The 'Simple to use' post is the one being stripped on the home page, then when you click on the post, all the tags are on the single page post.
Thanks for the link! I'm seeing bullets on the homepage on that post:
They're there in the browser source as well:

Arrives fully assembled.

Needs no plumbing.

Plugs into standard 110 outlet.

Fits in most rooms.

Offers low maintenance.

What browser and version are you using?
Could you try turning off all your browser extensions? I wonder if something is interfering. You could also try looking at your site in a different browser. Let me know what you see.
Sorry but you must have looked at it when I turned my child theme back on, because in your screenshot it doesn't show the date of the post and that was part of my modified child theme. I have it turned off again for now and I did try it in firefox, chrome, and safari and they are still stripping for the original theme. If the background is a wood image and doesn't show post dates, then that is the modified child theme. With the dates, it is the original.
I've believe figured out what the problem is. :-)
The version of Forever that I've been testing with was downloaded from WordPress.org, while the one you've been using is the slightly different version from WordPress.com.
Now that I've tested the WP.com version I see the bullets being stripped out, just as you do. I will report this to the theme developers, but in the meantime, you can try downloading the version here, which should work as expected:
On second look, I think both versions of the theme strip the bullet formatting. When I tested earlier, I hadn't checked off the option under Appearance > Theme Options, which displayed four recent posts on the homepage.
I am going to inquire with the theme developers and I'll keep you posted here.
In the end, this is an issue caused by the fact that in WordPress, HTML tags are stripped from post excerpts, which is what that theme is displaying when you choose the "Show four of your latest posts in columns on your home page." option. This in all themes, not just Forever.
To preserve the HTML in post excerpts, the simplest solution would be to use a plugin like Advanced Excerpt. I just tested it, and the bullets are preserved:
Let me know how it goes.
I think it is done on purpose for some themes, but I have never really looked into why. That would be great if they were able to tell us how to stop it correctly.
It's a feature of WordPress core.
Here's a reference about how the default excerpt feature works in the WordPress core:
Also in the latter case, HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt's content.
You could try using the Custom Excerpt field to preserve the HTML formatting, if for some reason you don't want to use the plugin. I just tried it and it seems to work:
If you don't see the Custom Menu block, you can activate it under Screen Options:
That worked. Gezz that was so dang simple. Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome. We got there in the end. :-)
You must log in to post.

Delivery to the National Guard of UH-72A Lakota Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) outfitted with the Security and Support (S&S) Battalion Mission Equipment Package (MEP) is underway, according to EADS North America. "This highly capable configuration is the latest and most significant evolution of the Lakota and the missions it is asked to perform," said Sean O'Keefe, CEO of EADS North America. "These S&S Battalion Lakotas provide our Army National Guard units with the ability to effectively respond at a moment's notice to a wide range of operational assignments including natural disasters, search and rescue operations, border protection missions and law enforcement support."
Lakotas equipped with the S&S Battalion MEP will be operated by Army National Guard units across the country. The S&S Battalion MEP will greatly expand the capabilities of the Army's UH-72A Lakota Light Utility Helicopters and further demonstrates the platform's flexibility for growth and mission-specific configurations. Currently 68 of the 99 anticipated S&S Battalion MEP installations are on contract. Of the 68 on contract, 52 Lakotas will be built with the S&S Battalion MEP integrated during production, and 16 Lakotas already in service with the Army National Guard will be retrofitted at the company's American Eurocopter facility in Columbus, MS.
The S&S Mission Equipment Package contains a centerline electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) sensor, a 30 million candle power search light, analog/digital video downlink, rear observers' console with a 15-inch display, an enhanced tactical communications suite, an onboard digital video recorder, 10.4-inch auxiliary displays for the pilot and co-pilot, and a video management system. The company's American Eurocopter business unit created a dedicated UH-72A manufacturing facility in Mississippi capable of sustained annual output of 55 Lakotas.
UH-72A Lakotas are operating from 33 locations in the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, Germany and the Kwajalein Atoll. The U.S. Army has ordered 237 UH-72As to date out of a total program of 345 helicopters through 2015. To date 190 aircraft have been delivered to the Department of Defense, including five for the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School.
The U.S. Army is using Lakotas in multiple configurations to fulfill a range of missions, including medical evacuation, search and rescue operations, homeland security, VIP transport, disaster response and relief, general aviation support, combat flight training and pilot sustainment training.EADS North America also provides the Army with FAA-certified flight and maintainer training.

Well first go at cardio since the back went out and I did 40 mins at HR 150..pretty happy that I didn't lose all the fitness. Finished off with Jazz Hands' favourite "Yoga Ball Squat Thrusts" and then did yoga ball leg lifts and hyper extensions to finish.
Today I didn't feel great. I had no energy and my legs were still sore. I didn't feel bad enough to take the day completely off, so just got through my workouts. Weight room: 1 mile warm-up run Lat pulldowns: 110 x 10, 130 x 8, 150 x 6 Military press: 40 x 10, 55 x 8, 70 x 6 Bench press: 45 x 8, 65 x 6, 85 x 4, 100 x 1, 105 x 1 Tricep pulldowns: 30 x 10, 40 x 8, 50 x 6 Hammer curls: 2 sets of 10 lbs each arm x 10 Core work: 1 x 50 with legs on Swiss ball 1 x 50 Bicycle crunches 1 x 50 scissors (good morning darlings) 2 x 25 side crunches (1 set on each side) 2 x 25 crunches with 10 lb. medicine ball Ankle work: 3 sets of each of the following toe raises - 10 with feet pointed forward, 10 with feet turned out, 10 with feet turned in Run on treadmill: 2 minutes hard/1 min easy for 2 miles. Hoping to get a swim in tomorrow. Was hoping to do a long run also, but I may have to give my legs a break.
Well, it's been a rough 3 days with this cold/flu bug. Was supine most of the time. This is the first time I've gone 3 days without exercise in a loooong time. I usually rush back too quickly and possibly end up extending the illness. This time, I decided to try more rest. Feel better today, but still have a cough, some wheezing and no energy. Certainly throws a wrench in my "train like crazy for 3 weeks" plan. I think it'll take me a couple more days to fully recover. I despise being sick -- very common reaction, I'm sure. Upper back soreness is gone, but my shoulder feels twingey -- too much laying around! Went to the pool for a short workout today. Oddly, when I'm under the weather, it's easier for me to kick than swim, so I did a lot of kicking. SCY/Solo: Warm up: 700 variety warm up Kick sets: 20 x 25 UW back shooters w/nose clip + MF, alternate pretty fast & easy speed 50 EZ 10 x 50 dolphin kick w/board alternate pretty fast (:28ish) & easy 50 EZ Modified Geek set: 3 x (3 x 50 @ 200 pace + 10 pullouts @ 1:10 + 2 x 50 EZ @ 1:10) 1-3, backstroke 4-6, IM order by 25s 7-9, backstroke kick 90 pull outs Couldn't really do these at 200 pace. Not enough zip. 300 fartlek dolphin kick w/MF with 10-15 meter bursts (wanted to do more, but packed it in) 150 EZ Total: 3000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More Cross Fit: Heard reports of other swimmers trying Cross Fit workouts and feeling "dead" after. Here's a couple: 1:00 intervals, 3x thru 6 stations: #1 rowing machine #2 heavy bag* #3 sit up station #1 with crunches & bicycles #4 burpees #5 bungee cord alternating fly/free pulls #6 sit up station #2 with double leg lifts, single leg lifts and scissors * Quick posted a Race Club thread last week, which noted that TRC does many boxing drills to help increase turnover in freestyle. I wonder what the bungee cord is that is being used for station #5? Same as Ande's resistance bands or something else? 3 x thru 400 meter run 5 push ups, 10 sit ups, 15 squats 5 x for time of: 30 Glute-ham sit-ups 25 Back extensions Not sure what a glute-ham sit up is ... Edit: Here it is: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnQB_jr2T-c"]YouTube - Glute ham sit ups[/ame]. I think Hulk called these roman sit ups. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I notice a lot of people doing "chops" as part of their dryland/weight routine. Are these worth adding?

It's done!! It's done!! The monkey's off my back. The 4 hour in 61 degrees or less qualifying swim for the Manhattan race is finally done!! I arrived at Windy Point (Lake Travis, Austin) at 8am Sunday March 22nd. Air temp 64, water temp 60. Windy and choppy (it doesn't look so in this photo). Terrified. The longest I'd been was 1 hour at 60 degrees. After an extended period of procrastination, personal lubrication (vaseline), and psychosomatic illness, I took the plunge. By this time it was 8.18am. I swam a couple of sad, self pitying laps of Windy point for about 40 minutes. Feeling miserable and cold, I asked my friend and observer LeighAnn for some hot soup. Out came Stanley, my thermos and second-best friend. Life suddenly got a whole lot better. Buoyed by my newfound warmth, I headed round to Hippie Hollow to swim with some guys I'd only met via email, but who were nice enough to include me in their morning OW swim. LeighAnn drove the car and paid the hefty $10 parking fee. I swam there in about 25 minutes at an EZ pace to find my new friends already in the water. Having checked out Hippie Hollow as a potential swimmin' hole the day before, I knew what to expect. Not a problem. I had a very liberal upbringing down-under. We swam laps of Hippie Hollow for about an hour and a half, blessed with a constant stream of entertainment provided by nudists engaged in a myriad of activities on the rocky shore. Stanley came to my rescue about every half hour, and although I felt a little uncomfortable, I never got to the point of shivering. My new swim buddies, Robert Alford and Tom Fornoff finished their swim, and I realised to my delight that by the time I swam back to Windy Point I'd be more than 3/4 of the way through my swim!! Yippee!! By this time the wind had picked up to gusts of 30mph and there were white horses everywhere. Tough conditions, but I think they distracted me from the cold and boredom of swimming alone. I took my time returning to Windy Point and there was only about 30-40 minutes remaining when I arrived. One more shot of Stanley and a couple more laps and I was there!! My last 10 minutes were occupied by swimming a bit of breaststroke, stretching and watching a catamaran capsize. 12.18 precisely (not that I was watching the clock..) and I was outa there!!! Very happy, very relieved, very grateful to all that helped, and feeling a lot better than expected, I went back to my friend's house, showered, dressed, had some food and a Stella. Bliss. During the swim I think I had 2 quart sized Stanleys of chicken broth, some gatorade (can't remember how much), 6 Gu's and an Ensure with a chaser of lake water. My only complaints during the swim were a sore lower back (probably from sighting over the waves) and squashed ears because I wore 2 caps (legal!!). I also saw several Texan sized Bass and unfortunately, from below, a middle aged man hiking in nothing but a pair of shoes and a daypack. Quite a point of interest. THANK YOU to all my friends in Austin, Texas, for helping me do something I didn't think was possible. My friend LeighAnn Doherty and family, Lynne Smith, David Blanke and my new Hippie Hollows Robert and Tom. Can't wait to go back

A little tired from all the working out I did yesterday. Still, I'm glad I went out for an easy 4 mile run today (40:36). Last week was a pretty good one, but still need to get more swimming in. It is hard to balance running and swimming. I'm hoping that once I get acclimated to 20 miles of running a week that I can start adding more swimming back in. Here is what I did last week: Swimming: 2 workouts - 4,000 yards Running: 4 workouts - 19.2 miles Biking - 1 workout - 1.5 hours Weights - 2 workouts
Well I would not say this was one of my better meets. The 1000 (13:05.07 out in 6:25.64) & 500 Free(6:25.90 oh well), 100 (1:29.38) & 200 Breast(3:14.33), and 200 Back(2:48.76) were about normal for my seasonal times this year but not best times (due to not being tapered). The 50's Breast and Fly STUNK! As far as my 200 IM I was surprise as was Kristen. We both swam the 500 Free and only got to rest for 2 fast heats of 500, 3 heats of 200 Relays and 1 heat of 200 IM before we were both on the blocks again. We both were just hoping to have enough to break 3 minutes and we were both successful. 2:51.90. I hope I can figure out my taper for Y Nat's. I really want to do well in the 100, 500, & 1650 Free and the 100 & 200 Back, everything else is just for fun. Any suggestions are welcome. I am going to review my taper from last year and hopefully I will hit it just right again. Yardage totals between warmups and swims for this meet were 3500 yards on Saturday and 3000 yards on Sunday.
After a sunny day with temps in the 60's yesterday. Last weekend it was the same story. Spring weather here can be very frustrating. Didn't do anything today except review the video and my coach's comments on the 50 back and 50 free I did at the meet yesterday. I have a few things to work on over the next month and hopefully will get it fixed before Clovis. I'll swim the Northwest Zone meet next weekend. Saturday will be the 50 fly, 100 back and 50 free. On Sunday I have yet to decide if I'm doing the 200 back or the 100 free. They are back to back so I really don't want to do both. Then I will also do the 50 back. These are the 6 events I'll do at SCY Nationals in Clovis in May. One good thing...even though I was sore and totally thrashed when I got home last night, I feel pretty good today and I don't feel any soreness at all. Even my bad shoulder feels good today.
State meet was extra fun this year! Team NASTI was down in participant numbers, but those of us who chose to swim really bonded and 1) Decided to start organizing for next year's earlier, 2) Agreed we would work on strokes and mindful swimming more frequently, and 3) Made up for lack of numbers by cheering and screaming for each other twice as loudly(and swimming twice the number of relays as usual!). We came in second (by a large gap) to the always amazing Indy Swim Fit Team. Now for my results.......remember, I was famous for my running, not swimming! SATURDAY: 1650 Free--24:20 best time and I felt great!---- Medley Relay 100 BUTTERFLY-1:26.30 great time for me!---- 200 FREESTYLE-- 2:45.? This was about 5 minutes after 100 fly relay leg and that's not enough recovery for my 53 yr. old self----- 50 BUTTERFLY--40.54-I felt okay but I guess I wasn't turning my arms over very fast(that's what the peanut gallery said)----100 BACKSTROKE--1:31.2-----I was just swimming this for a 4th event to score team points(at this point we thought we might be able to beat ISF, hahaha) probably a good time for me?-----Mixed 200 Freestyle Relay Split--33.6 I do not sprint...that is a good time for me. I had a good jump start on my leg. Total Sat. yards including warmup and cool-down=3,500 yds (this was the first meet i have ever done wu and cd for most events. I could not do it between 1650/Med Relay/200 free since they were back-to-back, after that I did pretty well. SUNDAY: I remembered my BS suit, proper cap and googles too! 1,000 FREESTYLE---14:14 Great Time For me! I felt lousy and hot the whole way through. The BS suit was sort of annoying me...I think it's too big. I was in lane 10 against the wall and there was no one in 8 and 9. I was surprised when I saw my time and realized I wasn't last! Girls 200 Freestyle Relay---34:53 split(I am not a sprinter) 100 FREESTYLE----1:15.? This was the first time I have done this event....again I was doing it for a 4th event and any points I could garner. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I entered as a no-timer and I didn't feel like a sand-bagger! 100 IM----1:27--Again, I am not a sprinter and this was better than I thought I'd do GIRLS 400 Free Relay--I'm clueless on my split since I had to immediately head over to the east pool for the 500 Freestyle. 500 FREESTYLE----7:18.? I swam feeling strong and smooth for the first 250 then I started falling apart. I am happy with my time when I reflect on the # of races I swam this weekend and the fact that we started at 8 am. and were done before 1pm both days. Total Sunday yardage = 3,300 yds. OTHER NOTES FOR THE ORDER: 1) I found out the 5K NASTI'S are putting on next summer on Morse Lake is now going to be a 10K. I will keep the forum posted on this. It will be a wave and current free 10K with a double lap and fairly straight course.....I'm doing it for sure! 2) nASTI'S recieved some Nike grant last Fall at Big Shoulder's. We are using the $ to hold a stroke clinic this summer at Forest Park Pool. I'm not sure who the clinician will be but I heard they are trying to get Olympian's or former Olympian's. 3) I am going to make an appointment over Spring Break for the sports med clinic and learn how to properly maintain my shoulders. I think I need to do shoulder weight training but I am afraid to start without a little expert advice. Tomorrow I'm gonna wear swimming related tee shirt, ect. to school! I am going to treat myself to an hour run after school....if my knee balloons up that will be the price I pay cause there's no h20 for me!

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - Candidates to replace U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri's 8th Congressional District will debate next month at Southeast Missouri State University.
The university announced Tuesday that the 90-minute live debate will air at 6:30 p.m. May 28 on KFVS-TV. It also will be webcast on the Southeast Missourian's website.
All four candidates running in the June 4 special election will participate. They are Jason Smith, a Republican; Steve Hodges, a Democrat; Bill Slantz, a Libertarian; and Doug Enyart, the Constitution Party. Because seating is limited, tickets will be distributed by each candidate's campaign headquarters.
Missouri's 8th District stretches from the outer suburbs of St. Louis south to the Missouri Bootheel and west to the Ozark hills.
Emerson resigned in January to lead a national association of rural electric cooperatives.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says his administration will stop making electronic copies of people's concealed gun permits.
Nixon announced the policy reversal Tuesday after several weeks of criticism from Republicans who said the new document copying policy of the Department of Revenue was an invasion of privacy.
The Democratic governor said his administration had "determined that the scanning and retention of concealed carry certificates are not essential to the integrity of the license issuance process."
The Department of Revenue handles concealed carry permits because it is responsible for issuing photo identification cards or placing a concealed weapons endorsement on people's driver's licenses.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri House members have passed legislation that would require mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect to report suspicions directly to the state's Children's Division.
Currently, mandated reporters such as doctors, social workers and teachers must either report or "cause a report to be made" to the Children's Division when they suspect child abuse or neglect.
Supporters of the House legislation say that allows a mandated reporter to submit information to another person in his or her organization, who then decides whether to notify authorities.
The House legislation passed 150-0 and now will be considered by the Senate.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan raised more than $800,000 in political funds compared to $565,000 for Gov. Pat Quinn in the first three months of the year.
Madigan is a potential Democratic primary challenger to Quinn. Madigan says she has not yet decided whether to take on the governor next spring.
Campaign finance reports filed with the state Elections Board show Madigan spent $77,000 during the first quarter and had $4.4 million in the bank on April 1. Quinn spent $119,000 and had $1.5 million on hand.
Among possible Republican candidates, businessman Bruce Rauner's (ROW'-nerz) exploratory committee raised more than $1 million and already has taken in $91,000 in large donations since April 1.
GOP Treasurer Dan Rutherford (ROO'-ther-ferd) raised $300,000 and had $740,000 in the bank.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) - A registered sex offender in St. Charles County has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to more sex crimes.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 54-year-old Dennis Lee Noack of St. Charles was sentenced Monday to three life terms for statutory sodomy and child molestation. The sentences will run concurrently.
The three victims ranged in age from 7 to 16.
Noack was previously convicted of sexual conduct with a 12-year-old girl in a 2000 case, and sentenced to 179 days in jail.
A bad turn in their Smart car plunges two men into the Mississippi River this morning.
They were able to escape on their own but but were helped up the riverbank near Mullanphy Street north of downtown by rescue workers just after 10 a.m.
Both were treated at the scene by paramedics, but their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. One had his arm put in a sling by rescue workers.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports officials say it appeared the men were trying to turn the vehicle around when they backed over the embankment and into the water.
ALTON, Ill. (AP) - A southwestern Illinois motorist is accused of being impaired when he allegedly hit and killed a bicyclist in the Mississippi River city of Alton.
Prosecutors in Madison County on Monday charged 51-year-old Allen Cordes of Alton with two counts of aggravated driving under the influence causing death.
Authorities allege that Cordes was drunk and high on marijuana last Saturday night when the van he was driving hit 50-year-old Alton cyclist James Stewart. Stewart died at the scene.
Online court records don't show whether Cordes has an attorney. He does not have a listed home telephone number.
Cordes was jailed Tuesday on $75,000 bond.
Lighting up a joint may not land a pot smoker in the joint anymore in St. Louis city.
The Board of Aldermen voted 22-3 Monday to reduce penalties for possessing small amounts of the drug. Alderman Shane Cohn introduced the ordinance that would reduce the penalty for carrying pot to a municipal offense. That means police officers would not be required to arrests offenders, but could just issue a summons to municipal court.
The bill, which was introduced earlier this year by Alderman Shane Cohn, also enables police to recognize patients with "valid legal prescriptions for medicinal marijuana." State law does not recognize so-called medicinal marijuana.
Violators would typically be given a summons to appear in municipal court instead of handcuffed and put in the back of a police car. Police currently charge marijuana offenders under more harsh state laws because no local law is on the books.
Currently under state law, first offenders who are caught with a small amount of marijuana — from a gram to 35 grams— are given a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. A second offense for possession of more than 35 grams is considered a felony.
The penalty for a violation of the proposed city ordinance would be a $100-$500 fine and up to 90 days in jail.
Officials at the Illinois Marathon in Champaign and Urbana say they will meet to talk about security ahead of their April 27 event after explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Jan Seeley is the race director at the Illinois Marathon. She said Monday that some runners and their relatives are already calling with concerns. She said one woman was angry with her Monday for not immediately calling off the race. Race officials plan to meet on Wednesday.
Seeley says it is unlikely the Illinois Marathon will be called off. But race emergency services coordinator Scott Friedlein says security measures such as bomb-sniffing dogs will be discussed.
The event draws as many as 20,000 runners to a series of races at different lengths. That includes about 3,000 registered for the marathon itself.
St. Louis-based Fleet Feet Running Stores sent a team of 11 runners to the Boston Marathon.
Director of training, Brandi Barbre tells KTRS News that they were worried about some of their runners right after the blasts. "A couple of people were a few hours late, because they were actually crossing the finish line right when, kind of, the explosions went off. As far as health-wise, they're safe and back in their hotel. And they way I understand it, ready to come home."
The Fleet Feet runners, like many in the area around the blast zone, were locked down inside their hotel for the night. The company says the runners are making arrangements to come home later Tuesday.
Veteran St. Louis runner and coach, Flavia Beretta Bader says, "at one moment I was celebrating a great day of running and in a second it turned tragic, the worst thing I've ever seen."
Two large race organizers in St. Louis, Go! St. Louis and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, both responded to Monday's explosions in Boston.
Two weekends ago thousands lined the streets of downtown St. Louis to run the Go! St. Louis Marathon.
Go! workers issued a statement expressing sadness by Monday's events. They said they also understand the tremendous effort it takes to hold a marathon especially when it comes to ensuring the safety of runners and spectators.

Mat Owens › DGOD! Presents: The Matty O'pen! A Super Class Event February 8, 2012 at 11:45am
No intermediate women division no. The more divisions we do the more we spend for trophies etc.. and the less for payout and awesome food. I'm not sure if you've ever thrown a superclass disc before but it is nothing like discs. They are hard to throw and don't go very far, this means the playing field will even out. Besides Caprice, you should be playing advanced anyways ;)
