We are a family of 5. Sam and Diana are professional designers, and buy and renovate homes and rental apartments. We are native Californians and have lived in San Francisco for over 20 years. Our kids are 8, 10, and 12 years old. We love travel, architecture, music, art, antiquing, reading, film, and really good food.
This property is our personal residence, a 1905 Victorian building which we recently designed and renovated. The front of the building is original in style, but the interior is very modern, but comfortable, warm, and with personality. The views are fantastic. We love living in an urban area, and this location is quiet, but is centrally located in San Francisco, and within walking distance to fabulous food, shops, and diverse neighborhoods. The more well-known neighborhoods of San Francisco are gorgeous, but this location is less touristy and a bit of an unknown secret gem. We love our home and are happy to share it with others that will appreciate it.
This is a luxury home in a safe, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood of San Francisco. It is very central and has easy access to all areas of the city. Walking distance to Golden Gate Park and the colorful Castro and Mission Districts. Pacific Heights, the Marina, and Downtown are only 10 minutes away by car.
San Francisco is a wonderful jump-off point from the Napa and Sonoma County Wine Countries in the North, South to Santa Cruz and Monterey, and East to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. The San Francisco Bay Area is a cultural and Gourmet Food Mecca of California and the West Coast.

I decided to sign up for my first race back-the Somerville Jingle Bell Run! Dave and my friend Rob are running it with me!
I haven't run more than 2.5 miles an am not running very consistently but I have faith that the Healthworks Workplace Warrior Challenge is going to build my strength back so that I can complete this 5k! Also, this 5k is pretty much right in front of my apartment so why not?!
Some things I need to keep in mind:
- I will not PR at this 5k
- I should focus on running a comfortable and consistent pace
- Must wear a fun outfit and have FUN!
- Try not to think of it as race-think of it as a goal to get my body ready for running. This means I need to be consistent with my strength and stretching!
Are you around then? Join me on my first race back!
What was the longest you have been out of commission?
I am approaching 6 months of not being able to run/train. I have been jogging a mile or 2 just recently though so I'm glad to slowly get back to it!
If you have been injured, how did you prepare for your first race back?

Voting ended, reviews of CHEATING have been run, and the winners have been certified: Wonkette is your Best Libtard Netroots Blog of the century! Hooray! Thank you to all readers for your daily votes; Warring is never an easy effort and many people literally died in this latest crusade. Congratulations to our fellow members of the Axis Powers, too, for dominating their categories: Rumproast, ~ synthesis ~, Comics Curmudgeon and Driftglass. Also, be sure to add such collateral damage victims as Grace the Spot, Jon Swift and Blue Gal to your RSS subscriptions AT ONCE. This, friends, is what feminism looks like. [Weblog Awards]
Wonkette Officially Wins Best Libtard Blog!
Hola wonkerados.
To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?
Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

I noticed Sully also won his category (beat out the tin-foil types at DailyKos). Does this mean Ken/Jim & Sully will be having a joint victory celebration party?
- January 15, 2009 at 5:33 pm
I've checked out Effluence, Uppity Warhog, and CougarPAC and all three are going on as though the webbies never existed. I guess that whole bit about being able to prove we were cheating never came off.
In other news, Jim and Ken have something else to be proud of; in the eyes of the PUMAs, they're the equivalent of someone who sold his fourteen year old daughter into marriage.

THE WAR IS OVER!!! Now I'm going to go sing the winners song:
From the halls of Confluenza,
To the shores of Digby;
We will fight our country's PUMAs
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for Hopey and freedom
And to keep our houses clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of Wonkette trolling machine!Our fags are unfurled to every sleaze
From the dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every blog and MySpace
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Confluence
And in the PUMApac scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The Wonkette trolling machine.Here's a beer to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to perv;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And have never lost our nerve;
If the Kos and Murphy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By the Wonkette trolling machine. - January 15, 2009 at 5:45 pm
- January 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm
VP–or is it VC?–Day. We'll all remember where we were when we heard the news. Teh Wonkettes get resume fodder and possibly new gigs at The Corner, the vanquished Pumas get some sort of Marshall Plan, and the commenters can talk about how they fought on St. Crispin's Day.

- January 15, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I wonder what it must feel like to keep getting your ass handed to you over and over like that. First the primaries, than the general election, now this. You start to get the impression that if you pitted a PUMA against a blind quadriplegic with an IQ of sixty in a persistent vegitative state in a best of five tic-tac-toe match, the smart money would not be on the PUMA.
That's gotta be a very shitty feeling indeed.

No, you wasted an hour or so. They've wasted their entire lives.
Also, I'm QQing over Pharyngula and actual science sites losing out over climate change denialists. I guess at least it wasn't something outright creationist or anti-vaccinationist, but I haven't really read the crappy site to verify.

- January 15, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Oh god, I just made the mistake of looking at the PUMA site….
They call themselves "the most effective group of political activists in a generation"!
And one of their stated goals is "strengthening anti-femicide laws and drawing attention to the crisis of woman-lynching in the United States".
Can this be for real? Or is it a Fox news parody?
- January 15, 2009 at 6:34 pm
And now, the super serious winner of the super serious weblog award for Best Liberal Blog, voted on by a bunch of serious people, Wonkette! Here's the Wonkette Voltron to deliver the acceptance speech.

Oh, goodie. They got my check.

[re=220213]cal[/re]: Most effective at losing and constantly portraying themselves as helpless victims? Yeah, probably.
It's quite amazing — the Confluence site has Friday open threads dedicated to griping about how life is unfair. I kid you not. They're called gripe threads or some such nonsense. It takes conscious effort to be that pathetic.
- January 15, 2009 at 6:37 pm

This is a win for trolls everywhere. I, for, one, will now change my IP address again and attack Confluence. If anything, for nostalgia.
- January 15, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I'm devastated that Cute Overload beat out Fuck You Penguin for Best Pet Blog in the final stretch, but that sorrow pales in light of the glory of Wonkette's triumph over the PUMAs, (and TPM, for that matter). If the last three months have taught us anything it's that victory if fuckin' sweet.

[re=220213]cal[/re]: "They call themselves "the most effective group of political activists in a generation"!"
They are! They've lost at every single thing they've put their minds to.
They simply have a different definition of "effective" than you may have expected.

If you thought the Pumas' crazy was exemplified by the earlier post, you gotta see this one, a big fat whinefest for riverchucky being embarrassed by mean wittle Wonkette picking on her. They can't figure out why Wonkette could be so terribly mean and spiteful. Couldn't have anything to do with her racism and childish ideological contradictions. Certainly not.

Finally bucked up, took a Compazine, set a trashcan by the armchair, and belatedly read more than just snippets of a few (loser) Confluence posts. God is great. Such bitter, miserable little humans, thrashing around like soaked rats in their septic Hillaryhole. When I left, I felt like I'd been gangraped by a mob of spittle-chinned, pie-hording grannies. "Confluence" is a term that usually means "a merging." Here, however, it refers to a reeking pit of postmenopausal angst, the end.
I go scrub up now. Not go back there again. Bad place. Bad.

And why do they think the thing we dislike about PUMAS is they're fat? I'm fat, I'm feminist, and Jim Newell wuvs me in this here very post. OH. Wait. I didn't vote for McCain to get my hate on.
I didn't vote for Hillary either, but that's because I don't think nuclear Armageddon is a good idea. Sue me: I vote with my brain.

[re=220572]hobospacejungle[/re]: She has a point you know. What is wrong with you people? First, you make fun of Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter who is simply trying to do the right thing and should really be praised and held up as an icon of family values unless you see something ironic in that, in which case you should respect her privacy and leave her alone! And now, you mock and invade the privacy of some poor PUMA girl just because she posted a YouTube video declaring her stupidity for all to see on the fucking internet.
Also, she's fat. Like really, really fat. Also.

[re=220582]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: The PUMAs seem not to have read Wonkette much. They are oblivious to the female posters, on whose behalf they whine, and who consistently tear them a new one, as if the PUMAs had a functioning first one.
Likewise they are oblivious to many Wonkette males, who are "not-so-much" to their fatty female tissue parts, because they don't see those lovely fat wobbly parts in their airport bathrooms. But then, those guys are not looking so much for fat wobbly menopausal lady bits. To be honest: who is? Maybe Melissa Etheridge wants to write another sad song about a depressed woman who lacks the courage to love her? WTF? WTF^3?

[re=220572]hobospacejungle[/re]: wow.
what else is the internet used for?
"And it worked. Jenni was humiliated and felt ridiculous."
shaming is a useful tool to keep idiots in check in any society, if they spent their lives educating themselves instead of dressing up their animals in funny suits and torching lawncrosses perhaps they might realize this

[re=220582]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: Sorry. Low expectations.
I'm impressed that the PUMAs used two "L"s to spell 'college.' - January 16, 2009 at 3:15 am

Now, PUMAs.. you're probably gonna hear a lot of people making fun of you and cracking all kinds of wise at your expense. I just want you to understand that this is not because the world is a cruel place that is out to get you.
It is simply because you are losers.

I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the blogwars
That shell shock snark awayThere's comfort in melancholy
When there's no need to explain
It's just as natural as the weather
In this moody sky todayIn our possessive commenting
So much could not be expressed
So now I'm returning to myself
These things that riverdaughter suppressedI see something of myself in every PUMA
Just at this moment of the world
As snow gathers like bolts of lace
Waltzing on a ballroom girl

WWE Raw SuperShow: Top 5 Moments of the Night
By (Contributor) on June 5, 2012
6,917 reads
The first Raw SuperShow of June is in the books, and the dust is settling from what proved to be an unremarkable episode. Bleacher Report has rounded up the top five moments from the show which failed to add much fuel to the No Way Out hype train.
The main focus of the show was John Cena's response to Big Show knocking him out twice, which came in an interview with Michael Cole. Cole tore into Cena with loaded questions and a biased opinion, which actually made for a good promo.
John Laurinaitis would let John Cena choose his opponent for the night, so long as it wasn't Big Show, or Laurinaitis himself. Cena's choice was an interesting one, picking a formidable opponent who is undefeated at WrestleMania.
CM Punk faced Kane in a rematch with a stipulation that there must be a winner. Daniel Bryan and AJ made appearances, and AJ did her part to reinforce the idea that she's got a couple of screws loose.
The following slides contain our top five moments of the night; sound off in the comment section with your thoughts and personal top moments from Raw!
Ryback Destroys Stan Stansky and Arthur Rosenburg
Image via WWE.com
You know it wasn't too hot of a night if Ryback's squash match is making this list.
While it wasn't anything we hadn't seen plenty of times before, this was Ryback's Raw debut, and honestly, watching a massive hulk of a man like Ryback toy with two jobbers, Stan Stansky and Arthur Rosenburg, is at least a little entertaining.
Ryback threw one of them clear off screen into the air at one point, and it looked great in the replay after the match.
It wasn't deep, it wasn't all that creative, but they kept it short and sweet. That's alright by me.
Michael Cole Cuts a Better Promo Than John Cena
Image via WWE.com
Your eyes are not deceiving you; the title of this slide is correct. Do not adjust your television sets.
Michael Cole opened Raw with an interview with John Cena. Cole's bias was evident, but he didn't exactly say anything that wasn't true.
John Cena's retort was the usual joke ridden mess where he belittles "bullies" and assures the world that he did no wrong. He accused Cole of playing with My Little Pony dolls, and that's when I began to tune out.
I didn't tune out so much that I failed to notice Cole's excellent promo, though. He was absolutely fluid; he cut a better promo than John Cena, and dare I say it was better than quite a few wrestlers on the WWE roster.
Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks Have a Match on Raw
Image via WWE
While WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth and Kofi Kingston were no-selling their injuries dealt to them by Big Show, Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks were putting on a fundamentally sound match and proving that they're a team worth keeping on WWE TV.
The team of Hawkins and Reks ultimately stood no chance against the champs, but looked good, and capable of much more.
Their futures have been in question time and time again, but if last night was any indication, these two won't be going away any time soon. In a tag team division on life support and an extra hour to fill on Raw coming fast, teams like this don't need to be on the chopping block.
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler, a TV Match Done Right
Image via WWE.com
The first match of the night was a rematch between Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler and was an excellent television match.
I can't put my finger on whether it was the pace, chemistry, or skill that made this match so good. All I really know is that even though the outcome was obvious, these two made me watch, and it was worthy of the viewers' time and attention.
Ziggler needs a little more fine tuning, but I'm guessing that will come when he separates himself from Vickie Guerrero.
Sheamus still needs the kind of feud that challenges him as a babyface. He was attacked post-match by Alberto Del Rio, which didn't do much for me.
Alberto Del Rio isn't a believable threat to Sheamus' title, in my humble opinion.You don't catch a guy off guard and struggle to put him away, not if you're supposed to be legit.
CM Punk vs. Kane, and the Fallout
Image via WWE.com
CM Punk and Kane put on a solid match as Daniel Bryan watched on at ringside. It was a hotly contested bout, and things became complicated when AJ came out to the ring.
AJ complained to the referee about missing Daniel Bryan attacking Punk at ringside, which led to Daniel Bryan going at her. Punk took that opportunity to take out Bryan, flashing a bit of his heroic side.
Punk returned to the ring and was finished by Kane's choke-slam. AJ rushed into the ring to check on Punk, then found herself backed into a corner by Kane.
Oddly enough, Daniel Bryan attacked Kane from behind while his focus was on AJ. Whether Bryan attacked just to get the jump on Kane or to save AJ remains to be seen.
Kane dealt with him swiftly and turned his attention back to AJ. She shot Kane a smile after looking scared out of her mind, and Kane left her alone.
As if this didn't leave us with enough questions, AJ had a curious interview with Josh Matthews where she seductively stroked his tie and claimed she was an aggressive woman.
Again, what?
I don't know exactly what any of this means or what is in store for the angle, but I dig it.

Not every kitchen was built with a "cookie-cutter" approach, so cookie-cutter cabinets don't always "fit" your style or your space. From the design and concept phase right through installation, your project should offer you a variety of options to choose from to ensure that the cabinetry suits your needs, your style and your budget. Many so-called kitchen experts only offer lines of products which limit your options. If you prefer solid hardwood construction with traditional drawer and door construction to laminate or veneer products implementing the latest industry-leading hardware, you should have choices that they may not offer.
If you feel like a gingerbread man in your own kitchen, call Christensen's Custom Woodworking and Cabinetry to break out of the mold! Our goal is to work with you to find the right design and solutions that will exceed your expectations.

An average Sunday in Baghdad, Iraq. Imagine yourself going to school or work for that matter. But then suddenly an unusual image catches your eye, it's a registration desk of TEDxBaghdad. They look so interesting and professional you wonder what it's all about. Then suddenly this loud noise!
A car bomb just went off, you stop for a second before continuing. TEDxBaghdad you have not heard of them before so you decide to go and ask one of the people as the desk. They kindly answer your questions and you are intrigued. Next time you must register and be there!
This story could have easily been a story of one of the students or teachers at the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. On Sunday 8 April one of the rooms at the university set the stage for the streaming event of TEDxChange. It was not the first streaming event organized by TEDxBaghdad, but it was the first time at the Al-Mustansiriya University. And even though TEDxBaghdad has now more than 10,000 likes on Facebook there are still a whole lot of people who have never heard of TEDxBaghdad.
While setting up the registration desk in the early morning many teachers and students came to ask questions. Around 9 o'clock attendees were slowly but surely coming in. A guest list with over 300 registrants was proof of the enthusiasm of the people to join the streaming event. Unfortunately the car bomb caused delays because of enhanced checkpoint controls and that on top of the usually crowded Sunday roads.
Eventually the room filled up with 300 guests, it was a mixture of students, teachers, doctors, and local NGO personnel. Even big TV news channels (Al-Arabiya, Al-Sumaria and Afaq) showed up to report on the event, which was broadcasted later on in the evening on TV.
The event was opened with a short presentation about TED, TEDx and the dream of Yahya AlAbdeli the chairman of TEDxBaghdad. For some this was the first time and they were intrigued. When they were shown the TEDxBaghdad talk of Manhal Al-Habbobi some became very emotional and tears were flowing. It made the people proud and excited to see one of their own on a TEDx stage with such amazing ideas. Then the streaming started and even though the English language caused some people to leave, many stayed and during the breaks some nice discussions came up. One of the volunteers took the stage to break down the basics of the talks and sparked some discussion about how such ideas could be implemented in Iraq.
The young children (Revolutionary Optimists) thought everyone a valuable lesson of perseverance and making the best out of a dire situation. As the second session of the stream continued the audience again got inspired by the talks, for example Theo Sowa's talk reminded the audience that war is not the only thing that Iraq has. She sparked the conscience that it is important to show the world the good that is in Iraq, because there is a lot of that and the outside knows nothing about it.
While the second session was taking place it was also time for the other important part of the event and that was the opportunity for local voices to record their idea worth spreading. Twenty people who registered to be a speaker were invited to record a short video. Their ideas will eventually be put online for a contest where everyone can vote for them and they have a chance to be on stage of TEDxBaghdad in October.
Back in the streaming room the final talks were being shown and when the end came near the biggest surprise surfaced. The audience did not want to leave! They wanted to see and hear more and so they watched several other TEDxBaghdad talks. If there is any bigger reward than this, I am not sure what it's supposed to be. But I think people wanting to stay longer shows how excited and inspired they were. It was not the only compliment that we got, but also the many people that were truly amazed by the work and attitude of the volunteers who made this event what it was.
All our team members are volunteers and even though they have a busy school, work or personal life they dedicate much of their time, heart and soul to TEDxBaghdad. The idea that Iraqi ideas are worth spreading and that by working together Iraq is able to be back on its feet again seems not an unreachable goal anymore. Change is happening as we speak, and we truly hope that our events and with our team we will be adding to positive change in Iraq and the World.

Well of course Obamakardashian has less vetoes. Nothing reaches his desk. He just signs his own exec orders.

Date of Defense 2008-10-02 Availability unrestricted Abstract Several social skills assessment studies have found children with impaired language to also have a deficit in their social skills. These studies have focused on either young children (e.g., preschool) or older children (e.g., elementary or middle school) but rarely included a range of ages in a single study. In addition, many of these studies included a small sample size (< 20 children). It is unclear how the peer relationships of children with language impairment change over time and if these children are included in more relationships as they age. This study examined the relation between language ability and sociometric ratings of 234 mainstreamed school-aged children in three age groups through peer nominations and peer ranking. The change in this relation at different ages and the characteristics associated with child relationships also was investigated. Findings revealed a strong relation between language ability and sociometric status in kindergarten but this relation weakened with age. The positive and negative characteristics associated with peer relationships also changed with age. Play and companionship skills were most important in kindergarten while personality, being a reliable ally, and validation and caring were additional characteristics important to children in fifth and eighth grades. These findings offer a framework to address the intervention for children with language impairment and a social skills deficit. Files

By Mayo Clinic staffCranberry juice or tablets containing proanthocyanidin may or may not help reduce the risk of recurrent bladder infections for some women. Conflicting results from research studies make it difficult to know whether cranberry juice really helps or whether there's a placebo effect. As a home remedy, avoid cranberry juice if you're taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin (Coumadin). Possible interactions between cranberry juice and warfarin can lead to bleeding.
Although these preventive self-care measures aren't well-studied, doctors sometimes recommend the following for repeated bladder infections:
- Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking lots of fluids is especially important if you're getting chemotherapy or radiation therapy, particularly on treatment days.
- Urinate frequently. If you feel the urge to urinate, don't delay using the toilet.
- Wipe from front to back after a bowel movement. This prevents bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
- Take showers rather than tub baths. If you're susceptible to infections, showering rather than bathing may help prevent them.
- Gently wash the skin around the vagina and anus. Do this daily, but don't use harsh soaps or wash too vigorously. The delicate skin around these areas can become irritated.
- Empty your bladder as soon as possible after intercourse. Drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
- Avoid using deodorant sprays or feminine products in the genital area. These products can irritate the urethra and bladder.

Sports Digest: Irish jockey JT McNamara suffers neck Injury at Cheltenham
Also Soccer Shorts and GAA Shorts
Top Irish amateur jockey JT McNamara is said to be comfortable in an English hospital after surgery on a serious neck injury sustained at the Cheltenham festival.
The 37-year-old from Limerick was injured in a first fence fall from Galaxy Rock in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup.
McNamara was airlifted to hospital after being treated by the on-course medics and was put in an induced coma before his transfer to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.
He underwent surgery on his fractured C3 and C4 vertebrae on Friday.
A statement on behalf of the McNamara Family was issued by Dr. Adrian McGoldrick, Turf Club senior medical officer, and Lisa Hancock, CEO of the Injured Jockeys Fund.
The statement read, "We can report that following lengthy surgery yesterday JT McNamara is in a stable condition. He remains in an induced coma at Frenchay hospital, Bristol.
"No further updates will be released until Tuesday, 19 March and the family politely request that the media do not contact Frenchay hospital direct.
"They would also like to thank everyone for their kind support and best wishes for JT."
McNamara's plight was a stark reminder of the reality of racing for the Irish who celebrated a record 14 winners at the festival on a week that saw Willie Mullins continue his winning form of late.
Highlight for many of the Irish punters was Barry Geraghty's victory aboard Bobs Worth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup as he outstayed Tony McCoy and Sir Des Champs up the hill.
Geraghty was thinking of his fellow jockey McNamara afterwards and said, "I'd love to be happier.
ll we can think about is John Thomas McNamara. We just hope and pray to God he's okay.
"This is a brilliant win, he is a gorgeous horse and he has a great attitude. He never traveled, he struggled on that ground, but he kept fighting.
"I knew three out I had five or six lengths to find, but I thought I had a good chance. He's as game as a lion and he loves the job."

I started a few weeks ago and loved it but was only using a starter (crap) bike and got up to 16-20 miles per week, in 4 miles stints on bumpy, hilly terrain. Now I'm nursing a 3-week-old neck and shoulder pain and not cycling at all. So I realize that a bike fit for me with suspension etc would have been a better way to start, but really, if I buy a new, fitted mountain bike, which will really be a stretch for me, and start cycling more and more am I going to have more issues?
I'm trying to figure out if the expenditure is worth it (I'm thinking along the lines of a $500 Marin). I really want to be fit and am still about 25 pounds overweight and have be hcrv since Dec. 2010. I currently also strength train, rebound, dance, yoga and walk.
Do old farts like me really start cycling and succeed?
Yes, I love swimming, but with three kids, whenever I am swimming I am also watching 3 kids so can't do a whole lot of it. Ususally I have to just tread water while I watch them or play around.
I just realized that if I bike 4 and 1/2 miles instead of 4 I could actually ride to a swimming hole! I guess I just have to stop making excuses. If I can find the time in the morning to go for a ride before hubby goes to work, I can at least drive the 2 miles to swim and then back.
I agree with the swimming, have to add randomness, fun, cross training, some gentile activities that keep you moving in a relaxed stress free way all day.
I'm having trouble getting started swimming, I live on Cape Cod, there's the YMCA pool but I don't want to swim in chlorine water or hear the echo of the large room erected over the pool that also blocks away the sun. Best choice seems like ponds or the ocean, there's a pond close by, kinda murky and lots of screaming kids at the small beach that is there. There's miles of coastline and that is looking the most attractive to me right now, just worried about getting caught in a riptide or something, no friend that wants to go swimming.
Think I need to go observe the beaches and find one with a really big area that has buoys around it and a lifeguard, since all I have swam in the last 13 years is about 10 min.
Don't mean to distract from Mary's query but talking about this seems helpful to her too.
As far as pools, a lot of places are using salt-water filtration systems which make make their own chlorine from salt. We have a 15 ft. kids pool with it and the water is always crystal clear and we put in salt at beginning of the summer and don't have to add any chemicals at all. It's not that salty either like the ocean. Really nice. We stayed at a hotel in Boston, that had a fabulous salt water pool, Dedham Hilton. If you're near hotels some may offer memberships to their fitness facility and salt filtration pools are the new rave I guess. Just a thought.
I think I did get the pain from cycling, because I felt the pain during it and wouldd often feel the need to straighten my back and arch. I haven't really done anything new otherwise lately. I've gotten a crick in my neck before, but this thing has lasted 3 weeks now, getting better slowly, and not cycling during that time. I guess I was a little worried that cycling in a properly fitted situation may still give me trouble and after spending some moolah.
it'd be unrealistic to NOT want that! cycle it up!
For what it's worth: I took up basketball a year ago. Started shooting hoops at my new neighborhood's playground. I'm super fit now, and I make more hoops each time I play. Something about making baskets gives my brain and body a surge endorphins/seratonin/dopamine every time. I LOVE IT!
P.S. Older than you!
That sounds great, I love basketball and we have a hoop here; the slanted dirt driveway gives it a new twist. I am so glad to hear of a superfit woman OLDER THAN ME ;) That's just what I want to be, superfit. Thanks for responding, I was hoping another young-at-heart woman would share her experience.
Thanks, Mary!
A little embarrassing but here's video of me shooting hoops. As a result of watching the videos I had a break-thru (no, not break-down, hahaha!) So I'm way better now! But these are the only videos I have so far. I don't know how to dub them to music, but that's how I play (i-pod) so I'm pretty sure it would help the videos!
3 months ago I'm Beaming (Lupe Fiasco)
9 months ago Hip-Hop Saved My Life (Niki Jean/Lupe Fiasco)
I love b-ball, but cycling would be awesome, too!
It's beyond me why basketball leagues for women like us aren't available. It's so fun! Look like you're really enjoying yourself. And yes, break thru's much better than breakdowns.
hahaha Agreed!
I wish for amateur shooting tournaments...travel, and a big pot of gold for competitors.
Fun talking with you, Mary. Any decisions yet? I love riding, but traditional bikes kill my neck, and all that pressure on my hands and wrists. Can't take it.
Bye for now!

A new study released July 20 by the Wallace Foundation offers important new evidence affirming the strong connection between school leadership and student achievement, shedding new light on what effective leadership involves.
The report, "Learning from Leadership: Investigating the Links to Improved Student Learning," is the largest of its kind, and has broad implications for the understanding of how leadership affects learning across the United States.
"The rubber hits the road in the classroom; that's where the learning happens," said researcher Kyla Wahlstrom of the University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development. "Leadership is important because it sets the conditions and the expectations in the school that there will be excellent instruction and there will be a culture of ongoing learning for the educators and for the students in the school."
The study demonstrates that there a strong, positive link between educational leaders – particularly principals – and student learning outcomes. As the topic of student achievement and test scores dominates policy discussions at the local, state, and national levels, schools and districts face mounting pressure to improve student outcomes. The report provides vital information for policymakers and educational leaders to help students succeed.
ACSA President Bob Noyes said the report states what ACSA has been repeating for years: schools, districts and county offices mirror the performance of their leaders.
"The report is very clear on what it takes in today's highly competitive academic environment to succeed in implementing successful and sustainable learning conditions," Noyes said. "Principals create working conditions that inspire and motivate staff at all levels to promote worthwhile and attainable goals. District personnel create and support educational systems that allow for change, creativity and collaboration."
Researchers of the $3.5 million study, funded by The Wallace Foundation and conducted over six years, conducted more than 1,000 interviews, surveyed more than 8,000 teachers and administrators, and observed more than 350 classrooms at all grade levels.
"In Learning from Leadership, the largest study of school leadership to date, researchers found the strongest evidence yet of principals' significant effects on student achievement," said Edward Pauly, director of research and evaluation at The Wallace Foundation. "With current constraints on state and district budgets, this research is all the more timely; the case is stronger than ever for investing in better leadership to improve schools and bring benefits to all students."
"Learning from Leadership" is an important contribution to The Wallace Foundation's 10-year body of research into understanding and improving leadership in educational settings. The study's authors examined leadership extensively and in its many forms, from the state and district levels to individual principals, school board members, teachers, and community members. They found that collaboration among these stakeholders correlated with improved student learning.
"Learning from Leadership" discusses how superintendents and principals can most effectively drive gains in student achievement and how and why their practices result in instructional improvement in some contexts and not others.
"Among many other findings, I anticipate readers will be especially interested in our findings about successful leadership practices, the importance of distributing those practices in coordinated ways, and the key contribution of leader efficacy in accounting for district success," said researcher Kenneth Leithwood of the University of Toronto.
The report also found that student achievement is higher in schools where principals share leadership with teachers and the community and principals play a key role in encouraging others to join. In addition, it found higher-performing schools generally ask for more input and engagement from a wider variety of stakeholders.
Other findings include district support for shared leadership fosters the development of professional communities. Where teachers feel attached to a professional community, they are more likely to use instructional practices that are linked to improved student learning. In districts where levels of student learning are high, district leaders are more likely to emphasize goals and initiatives that reach beyond minimum state expectations for student performance.
The report found the major challenges to effective school leadership include:
• The stark lack of district support for principals' professional development and a lack of regular contact between most principals and their district offices. District leadership also needs to increase support for principals to use data-driven decision making.
• The direct negative effect of principal turnover on student achievement due to disruptions in cooperation and shared leadership with teachers.
• A lack of real and sustained leadership directed to improve instruction in high schools.
• The absence of comprehensive approaches to education reform in most states.
The set of findings in "Learning from Leadership" can help educators, policymakers, and other thought leaders understand how student achievement is linked to leadership at all levels of the education system, from the classroom to the state capital.
"The Wallace Report confirms ACSA's belief that leaders with high expectations, coupled with relevant professional development, a committed, collaborative staff, consistent follow-through and perceived maximum district support will greatly influence student learning," Noyes said. "Success can be achieved when leaders ensure these components are in place."
The full report, as well as executive summary and brief, can be downloaded from the Wallace Foundation Web site at www.wallacefoundation.org.

Bulletin index | Bulletin downloads | Back issues
The Bulletin is an internationally respected journal notable for its very high standard of scientific ornithology. It contains at least 256 pages annually, published in four quarterly issues with an Index. The Present (2004) Editor is Guy Kirwan. It caters for papers ranging from short notes to full papers by authors from many countries on systematics and taxonomy, and all the most important topics in the field of ornithology. It contains addenda and corrigenda to standard works. The Bulletin is almost certainly the journal in which most new forms are described and named. "...there is a real need for a journal publishing short papers on questions of taxonomy at the subspecies and species level, on significant range extensions, on aspects of the history of taxonomy, and similar subjects. The Bulletin is filling this important niche quite admirably ......" Ernst Mayr, 1992 The Bulletin is now the only journal with an extensive circulation fulfilling these aims. Authorship is international, and geographical coverage is world-wide, with emphasis on parts of the world whose avifaunas are incompletely known - in recent years particularly the New World tropics, parts of Africa and New Guinea. Papers are published, as far as possible, in the order of their submission, and every effort is made to keep the interval between receipt and publication to not more than 12 months. The Bulletin has always been an essential reference for ornithologists, particularly avian taxonomists, and others concerned with the subjects it covers. Members of the British Ornithologists' Club (BOC) receive the Bulletin by Surface Saver Postal Services to all European destinations outside the U.K. and by Air Saver Postal Services to destinations outside Europe at no extra charge.

Some of the 30 security screeners at Lehigh Valley International Airport who were told Friday they would lose their jobs might be part of the group of 60 workers the federal government is putting in place today.
The screeners were supposed to be notified of the federally funded jobs and were to be invited to apply for them, said Charles Brady, the acting federal security director in charge of LVIA's screeners. "And if they meet the requirements, they're guaranteed a job," he added.
