Broadcasters Want Dish To Pay More For AutoHop
As questions persist about the fate of Dish Network's automatic ad-skipping technology, there is at least one certainty: money talks. CBS CEO Leslie Moonves has said unless Dish abandons the Hopper DVR, he won't allow the satellite operator to carry CBS content. But he has also suggested that he would drop that push if Dish paid CBS $5 a month per subscriber.
Station groups seem to have the same idea. In court papers, Dish says that affiliate groups have sought an added fee in carriage negotiations "specifically for each customer's use of AutoHop." (That's the Hopper function that eliminates all ads in a recording.)
"Specific numbers were even proposed," the satellite operator says. One court document has a sizable redacted list of proposed fees.
But Dish says it was able to make the deals without the added payments.
Before an agreement was reached last year, an executive at the Sinclair group indicated to the Los Angeles Times that Dish should pay more to offer the AutoHop.
Stations have also pursued Moonves' initial suggestion: telling Dish to disable the Hopper or go without their programming.
In another court filing, David Shull, a Dish senior vice president, says during carriage negotiations several affiliate groups have asked that Dish subscribers be "prohibited" from using the DVR.
Dish has said no way, Shull says.
Last year, during a standoff with Hoak Media, Dish told the Los Angeles Times before a deal was reached that the station group was demanding that AutoHop be disallowed.
(The broadcast networks are in litigation with Dish, seeking to rid the earth of the AutoHop and other Hopper features.)
This isn't to say that station groups have not been getting anything for their AutoHop-oriented demands. Even if not successful discretely, their requests could have provided leverage to wrangle substantial price increases out of Dish.
Speaking of leverage, there have been suggestions that Dish launched the AutoHop to gain some to drive down its carriage payments. But Chairman Charlie Ergen said this week at an AllThingsD event that "it's not a leverage game, it's really that technology has changed."
Dish is competing with DirecTV, cable and telco TV operators, which offer DVRs, and the Internet, which might offer commercial-free programming, so he indicated that it needs the AutoHop to gain an edge.
He also suggested that the networks are backward-thinking when it comes to advertising and the Hopper actually offers them an opportunity to generate higher revenues. The device has the ability to serve targeted ads to viewers based on perceived interests, which could have advertisers paying a premium, he said.
The trouble is that under that scenario, the AutoHop could lose some of its customer appeal because programming would no longer be commercial-free TV.
"It makes sense then to give people more targeted ads that are more meaningful to them, which means you could run less commercials and … you actually could make more money on that revenue stream," Ergen said, adding the "broadcast industry is slow to adapt to that."
The promise of addressable advertising on a national level has been around for a long time. On paper, it sounds ideal and it's nice to theorize about at a conference. But Ergen may be overlooking that it's nowhere near as easy as skipping commercials with the AutoHop.
1 comment on "Broadcasters Want Dish To Pay More For AutoHop".
- Hey Leslie, I hate to break it to you, but I have ad skipping on my Verizon Fios DVR. If Verizon sends me a note that they're bumping my monthly subscription to pay you an extra $5, I'm cutting the cord. I really need to catch up on my YouTube videos anyway...and I haven't even started watching the Netflix series yet. There's just too much content out there to bother with commercials anymore.

Quick Index Board Index Home FAQ Site Map
I don't quite see what you mean by
Written by Kathleen Glancy
(3/8/2011 6:17 p.m.)
in consequence of the missive, Class and Marriage, penned by Jane Marie
"When the engagement of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax takes the Westons by surprise, Mr. Churchill readily admits he hoped for better for his son. Only when he is reminded of the character of Jane Fairfax does he reconcile that she is an eligible match for his son." Do you possibly mean Mr Weston rather than Mr Churchill? All that we know about Mr Churchill's reaction is that he gave his consent with very little persuasion. If you do mean Mr Weston, he doesn't readily admit anything of the kind. Mrs Weston says it was their darling wish that Frank and Emma might become attached, but makes no comparison betweeen Emma and Jane. And I don't think that that wish had anything to do with class or money - just the hope that his son and her almost daughter might get together. IMO the Westons' main concern about the engagement is that Frank has broken Emma's heart. Once he is reassured on that point, Mr Weston also needs very little persuasion to approve the match and by Chapter 48 is "extremely anxious to shew his approbation to Miss Fairfax and her family". |

Heart & Humor: The 2010 Animated Oscar Race
For Disney the lack of five nominations is I guess the biggest disappointment, because it would have given them two nominations. This hip twist on Rapunzel outperformed everyone's expectations. It's has the humor and heart factor, but one can use the adult factor as a tiebreaker. Despicable Me appeals to an older audience, which makes up the voting block at the Academy. It's the edge that keeps this fairy tale on the outside looking in.
DreamWorks' superhero spoof has more admirers than many expected before it hit theaters. A nomination seems very unlikely though. It certainly has the adult and humor factors going for it, but it lacks the heart that the previously mentioned films have.
You can't count Bill Plympton out of this race. His self-distributed feature has received many positive reviews. Some consider it is best work in years. It would be quite shocking if this little seen film pulls a Secret of Kells with only three slots for nominations.
Paul and Sandra Fierlinger's indie animated feature is another example of a little seen film that has received positive reviews. This personal tale of a man and his German shepherd has heart, but it's probably too "small" to grab enough Academy voters' attentions.
Despite receiving some great reviews in its qualifying run, Mamoru Hosoda's gamer saves the world tale arrives too late in the game to be a serious contender. Lovers of his work, such as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, might get him some votes, but not enough.
It was an honor to see my film listed 'Urs' along these brilliant films. Already the Long-Shortlist contained worldclass films. Many of them couldn't even make it into the Shortlist. Congratulations to all of them! Keep on creating your wonderful work and most of success for your future projects.
Good luck to all nominees! I'll watch the show as I did the last 15 years. I can't wait... GO Soi, GO!
maybe it is depressing, but I would not object to at least a nomination for Chomet's "L'Illusioniste"
'Toy Story 3 is the Best of all in this list.' - Damn straight...DAMN straight
How To Train Your Dragon is the great film that come from Dreamworks, don't miss it.
And I like Summer Wars very much because it can mix Drama and SciFi so the whole family like that. Maybe you shouldn't underestimate of this film by 2D.
Despicable Me is good film too but I, not use english in usual, doesn't impress in this film.

Two fun games to play with your baby this week.
Choo-choo training
Best when your baby has lots of energy and is raring to go, this activity is fun for new crawlers.
Skills developed: crawling, gross motor
What you'll need: no equipment necessary.
Stand with your legs a little wider apart than your shoulders. Tell your baby she's the train and you're the tunnel, then encourage her to crawl through your legs. Add a few "chug-a-chug-a-chugs" and train-whistle sound-effects as she passes through. After she's done this a few times, suggest that now the train needs to go through the tunnel quickly, before it collapses. As she passes through, squeeze your legs together gently and pretend to catch her (giving her a head start, of course), or lower your body (bending your knees) as if you're about to sit on her.
Sticky situation
When your baby has mastered the knack of picking up and manipulating toys, she's ready for the surprise silliness of this captivating challenge.
Skills developed: fine motor, hand-eye coordination
What you'll need: a piece of contact paper; tape; a few small toys.
Take a piece of sticky contact paper, the kind you use for lining drawers and shelves, and place it, sticky side up, on your kitchen floor. Then tape it down securely along all four edges. (You can put some newspaper down first for extra protection.) Gather an assortment of small toys and arrange them on the paper, pushing down on them to make sure they're firmly adhering. Then show your baby the toys and encourage her to pick them up - or try to. You'll both get a good laugh as your baby figures out how to get them un-stuck. Once all the toys are rescued, help her step barefoot onto the contact paper. She's likely to be fascinated with the sensation of the sticky surface pulling at her soles as you help her lift each foot and put it down again. Of course, if she doesn't like the sticky feeling, don't force the issue.

Cost of service
Just thought I would vent.
I bought my oil and filters online with the idea that I would change them myself, but it turns out I'm way too busy ( I've been working 7/16's for the past 2 months) so I went to pep boys to see how much the labor would be to change the oil, oil filter and the 2 fuel filters. Oil labor was $39.99. OMG then he told me that the labor cost on the fuel filters was $129. Geezus. I made sure 3 times that was the cost for labor only. Why in the he!! Should it cost $130 to change two filters!!!! |
Sponsored Links | ||
Advertisement | ||
Cleaning charge. They can't do the lower filter with out getting fuel all over themselves.
Just saying. That is real spendy. Heck, if you lived close by, I'd change your filters for, let's say, $120 for all 3! Just kidding. |
I suspect there charging you 1 hour on the rail and .3 on the top fuel filter.
That at 100 an hr the going rate now a days is the 130. This is why i do as much of the service myself as i can, i think my time is worth 100 an hour too so i cant justify giving it away for something like this. I understand your super busy and being busy like that costs you more then 1 way. Want to talk real rip off goto a Boat dealer. I got a 5.7 V8 in my boat, they want 150 to change that oil and all they do is run the engine with a hose attached to my water intake to warm it up then stick a pump on the oil drain and suck it out. The oil filter is a remote mount and right at your finger tips. They charge 50 for oil and filter and 100 for the labor. Ask for a winterization? 200 and all they do other then change your oil is pull the 2 lower block plugs to drain the water out of ym block. 150 for summerization and this is the real joke they hook up the hose to the intake once again and start it and let it run for 30 minutes to make sure theres no issues.. |
That's insane...the dealer here in eastern NC charges $119 for fuel filter change (parts and labor)
Oil change 92 (parts and labor) Takes me 25 minutes to do both fuel filters,lying in a dirt/rock driveway. mine is 4WD with the driveshaft in the way, A little longer to do the oil change, pouring oil into another bucket, pouring 4 jugs into engine, etc. Under 1.5 hours to do both, not hurrying and cleaned up. You really did take it somewhere bad, and I don't mean Pep Boys. If you are active duty, talk to guys in the motor pool and see if anyone has a 6.0, or is smart enough to work on one, see if they want extra bucks, and do it at the Auto Craft shop on base |
i think we charge around $45-50 labor for fuel filters. oil change, no idea
just think the amount of time it took you to drive there and ask them how much is longer then it woulda took you to do it,
Not really it only too me 5 mins to ask them to do it an since it's on the way to work I didn't loose any time. I can do it my self I know how an have the tools it's just I don't have the time. And I know it only takes 30 mins but when you haven't had a day off since thanksgiving and work 16 hours an night 30 mins is a lot of sleep I could miss.
Where are you located?
Workin' 7/16 I'd still find the time to change it myself. The whole job doesn't take an hour.
Yea it looks like I'm going to gave to.

I just did a post of the advantages of pressure canning beans, but found this fantastic recipe for baked beans that includes the ability to add bacon. YES I typed that delectable pork product that many good bean dishes can not be without. It's not much but will do a good job in adding some additional flavor.
Baked Beans from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning gives me the ability to finally make the recipe that has been in our family for some time. It's a fully cooked recipe that allows you to can the final product and have available for any meal or a quick pairing with a pot of rice for a great lunch.

By Mayo Clinic staffNo sure way exists to prevent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, if you're concerned about your risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you may consider avoiding habits that have been associated with the disease. For instance, you may choose to cut back on the amount of salt-cured foods you eat or avoid these foods altogether.
Tests to screen for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
In the United States and in other areas where the disease is rare, routine screening for nasopharyngeal carcinoma isn't done. But in areas of the world where nasopharyngeal carcinoma is much more common — for instance, in some areas of China — doctors may offer screenings to people thought to be at high risk of the disease. Screenings may include blood tests to determine whether a person carries the Epstein-Barr virus and what the levels of the virus are.

2014 Silverado High Country (GM)
General Motors Co. is quietly raising sticker prices of its all-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Since their launch this summer, prices are up nearly $2,100.
The latest increase of $1,500 on all trim models, which was effective Monday, was part of a routine and planned pricing adjustment, GM spokesman Jim Cain said Friday.
�We�re executing the next phase of our launch strategy now that we have all three body styles and the V-6 and V-8 powertrains in the market,� Cain said.
Cain said GM at the end of September had only about 20,000 2013 pickups in inventory and that with more availability of double cabs, regular cabs and V-6 models, �now it�s time to go into the market with a new strategy, with still a great value.�
GM in April boasted that the base price of the Silverado 1500 regular cab would remain the same as the 2013 model at $24,585, including destination charges, though the new truck was improved with better horsepower, torque and fuel economy. It also said the base prices on Silverado crew cabs and extended cabs (now called double cabs) would have carryover pricing from 2013. The GMC Sierra base price rose by $500 over the 2013 model to $25,085, including destination.
The prices of the base trucks now start at $26,670 for the Silverado and $27,170 for the Sierra, including destination charges of $1,095 each.
Cain said the new truck prices would be effective for pickups produced on or after Oct. 7. So trucks on dealer lots today still will have cheaper sticker prices.
Most of the cost of the latest price hike can be covered through incentives the automaker is offering: up to $1,000 cash back on the 2014 Silverado and Sierra. Another $500 back is available on several high-volume trim lines. The incentives expire Oct. 31.
Edmunds.com senior analyst Michelle Krebs said GM is raising the prices on the trucks because it can: The trucks are in demand and supply is not up to full levels.
�They can raise the price, but by having an incentive, it looks like they�re still offering a deal against the competitors,� she said.
GM�s price hike comes following a drop in pickup sales in September, even though rivals increased their sales. GM�s Sierra and Silverado sales totaled 45,944 last month, down 8.2 percent and below Ford�s F-Series September sales of 60,456.
GM blamed its drop in sales on high incentives from competitors, a lack of 2013 trucks and supply limits.
�I think they need to have something to tout in marketing messages, and they realized that cost them some sales,� said Karl Brauer, senior director of insights with Kelley Blue Book. �They are increasing the price knowing they�re immediately going to offer an incentive that will offset the increase in price, but give them a marketing message.�
Ford has up to $9,000 in incentives on its 2013 F-Series trucks. Its 2014 trucks will be available in November.
GM North America President Mark Reuss told The Detroit News earlier this month that the company won�t chase high incentives from rivals with its 2014 pickups. He said the competition mainly is selling 2013 trucks.
�When they stack incentives up to $10,000, ... we�re not going to do that with our new truck,� Reuss said. �... I�ll take my lumps for a month. But those high inventories and big-stacked incentives, we�re just not going to do that. We�ve got a great truck.�

Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffBeing diagnosed with a meningioma can be overwhelming. As you come to terms with your diagnosis, your life can be turned upside down with visits to doctors and surgeons as you prepare for your treatment. To help you cope, try to:
- Learn everything you can about meningiomas. Ask your health care team where you can get more information about meningioma and your treatment options. Visit your local library and ask a librarian to help you track down reliable resources for more information, including online sources. Write down your questions so that you'll remember to ask them at your next appointment with your doctor. The more you know about your condition, the better prepared you'll be to make decisions about your treatment.
- Build a support network. Having friends and family supporting you can be valuable. You may find it helps to have someone to talk to about your emotions. Other people who may provide support include social workers and psychologists — ask your doctor for a referral if you feel that you need someone else to talk to. Talk with your pastor, rabbi or other spiritual leader. Other people with meningiomas can offer a unique perspective, so consider joining a support group - whether it's in your community or online. Ask your health care team about brain tumor or meningioma support groups in your area, or contact the American Brain Tumor Association.
- Take care of yourself. Try to stay healthy during your treatment for a meningioma by taking care of yourself. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and get moderate exercise daily if your doctor allows it. Get enough sleep so that you wake feeling rested. Reduce stress in your life by focusing on what's important to you. These measures won't cure your meningioma, but they may help you feel better as you recover from surgery or help you to cope during radiation therapy.

"delete" button leads triggers cancellation of tasks
When I try to delete spelling mistakes in the task name, pressing the "delete" button triggers the cancellation of the task.
Due to that everytime I make a spelling mistake while adding a new task, I can only abort it and add the task again.
Is this your "100%-efficiency" effect? ;-) I mean, I concentrate now more when I write the name of the task in order to avoid spelling mistakes but still...it is annoying.
Asked by Toby on Mar 22, 2013 - 08:35
David Trey on Mar 22, 2013 - 08:58
Hello Toby,
You can correct spelling mistakes with the Backspace key. Please clarify - what keyboard layout are you using and does Backspace also result in cancellation of the task?
Best regards,
The error doesn't occur always. I just tested the backspace key and had no troubles. But sometime it leads to cancellations.
David Trey on Mar 22, 2013 - 09:18
Unfortunately we can't reproduce this issue. If you manage to find a way to trigger it, we would greatly appreciate if you could provide the details about what exact steps are required for this to happen and this could help us to identify the source of this issue.
Best regards,

noise from under truck from fuel pump area
Hello this is my second 250 traded in my 2010 for a 2012.
Here is my question: i have approximately 2100 miles on the truck. About 2 weeks ago i heard a weird clicking noise comming from under the seat area. I dont think its the seat making the clicking noise. I believe its the fuel pump or canister. Earlier today i fueled up and drove about 150 miles shurt off the truck. Got a cup of coffe then i returned i turned the key and let the punp run for about 2-5 sec with out turning over the engine, and that is when i heard it. It sounded like allways like a mild humming sound then all of a sudden click then it hummed again. I tried it about four times and it kept on doing it. :confus Once i gotto the office i tried to duplicate it it wount do it again it does this once in a while. The other day i tried getting to do it at dealer and no luck. Any advice or comments Thanx |

In the past, calling Super Bowl Media Day a sideshow would have been an insult to carnival barkers and sword swallowers.
The annual media overkill jamboree, at which players and coaches endure an hour-long barrage of redundant, mundane, leading and sometimes irrelevant questions from national and international reporters, is catnip for attention junkies, self-promoters, and other hangers-on. Under the circumstances, Bill Belichick's attempt to ban Chad Ochocinco from the proceedings was a cruel punishment for the player, if a blessing for the rest of us.
This year's Media Day, however, was downright subdued. The lunatic fringe was unavoidably detained. Even Tom Brady noticed the difference. ''There are no wedding dresses this year,'' he said. ''They must be over with Gronk.''
Rob Gronkowski was not mobbed by admirers in wedding dresses, only a horde of reporters demanding moment-by-moment updates on his sprained ankle. There was one Tom Brady impersonator, though: Nick Lower arrived from Missouri in his Brady Halloween costume, complete with shoulder pads, a wristband full of plays, and September-era Brady hair. With his thick beard, Lower looked more like the lead singer of Creed than Brady, but several television reporters still approached him and asked if anyone mistook him for the real Patriots quarterback (who, of course, wears shoulder pads in public and sits among Colts fans in the crowd).
Lower was one of thousands of spectators who paid $25 for the right to sit in Lucas Oil Stadium and watch players stare blankly into the middle distance after answering the same question for the 50th time in two days. Fans received radio receiver earphones, allowing them to change the channel to select their favorite Patriots or Giants player, or listen to NFL Network analysts as they listened to the players. Fans said that the receivers fit comfortably and worked well, and at the start of each media session most of the crowd sat silently with their heads cocked to the left, as if they were listening to translations of a United Nations speech.
There were many moments of eerie quiet. With thousands of people listening in solemn silence, Media Day sometimes felt like morning in a cathedral, or the third quarter of a Jaguars game. Once spectators recognized just how grueling an hour of press conferences can be (press conference minutes are longer than StairMaster minutes), the crowd perked up. Minor players began signing souvenir footballs late in each session, and several lucky fans went home with mementos from their favorite players, assuming that they are huge Mitch Petrus or Justin Trattou supporters.
There were a handful of attention seekers about. Los Angeles radio personality Vic ''the Brick'' Jacobs worked the crowd in a Viking hat and a kimono, with a stuffed dragon and a talisman around his neck. Jacobs is known for creating loopy personas, and for Media Day he opted for a cross between a hippie mystic and Colts owner Jim Irsay. ''I'm gonna have the players grab my dragon and see if they can fly with me,'' Jacobs said, not breaking character until asked to make a pick for the game. ''Eh, Giants,'' he said with a shrug.
The Great Dragon Spirit must have whispered word of Jacobs' pick to Brady. When Jacobs approached Brady's booth (no mean feat, as crowds of photographers and reporters were five deep for the entire hour), Brady quizzed Jacobs on the years of the Chinese calendar. Jacobs' knowledge proved a little hazy. ''Keep your dragon away from me,'' Brady joked.
As press conferences dragged on, questions grew more tangential and ridiculous, not all of them fired by media members who strive to be ironic or goofy (guilty). Ahmad Bradshaw showed off his Captain America pendant and revealed that he listens to rapper DMX to get pumped up before games (Bradshaw must secretly be 38 years old). Brandon Jacobs slipped away to freshen up but was retrieved. Jerod Mayo sang a ballad. He sounded good, but in the fine Patriots tradition, he was highly self-critical. ''I got a cold,'' he said. ''I'm a little nasally.'' Kevin Faulk fielded an inevitable question about Tim Tebow. ''He is doing a great job for Jesus and the Broncos,'' Faulk said. As a follow-up, Faulk was asked about Tebow's impact on the Patriots, and he sat for a few seconds in puzzled silence.
Obscure players enjoy advantages and disadvantages over the stars during Media Day. They are not trapped in booths for the full hour, so they can move about and interact with (or escape from) reporters and each other. The downside: there is much less space separating them from the legions. There were odd booth omissions: Mark Herzlich stood swarmed by a crowd of more than 25 reporters for most of the event while David Diehl, in a booth, fielded a steady-but-manageable trickle of questions.
At times, the line between player and attention seeker blurred. Ross Ventrone is a 5-foot-8 special teamer on the Patriots practice squad with luxurious hair that covers the name on the back of his jersey. With his diminutive size, flowing locks, and unlisted ''35'' jersey, it was hard to tell whether Ventrone was a player or an onlooker like Lower who found his way onto the field. It only became clear that he was an actual player when Peter King began interviewing him. Ventrone made the most of a spotlight bright enough to shine on even low-profile practice squad players: not only did he give multiple interviews, but he conducted some interviews with his Patriots teammates for the New England affiliates. ''I think it's the personality,'' Ventrone said of his hour of fame. ''People just want to capture me on film.''
Patriots like Ventrone did not have to suffer the humiliation that has befallen nearly every Giants player in recent weeks: salsa dancing. Nearly every Giants player on the field was coaxed into some variation of Victor Cruz's signature step. Henry Hynoski tried to beg off, then gamely wiggled his fists and swayed his hips for a few awkward seconds. Defenders Spencer Paysinger and Christian Hopkins fared better, strutting their stuff with a lovely Telemundo television personality while a nearby assistant spun a tiny mirrorball from a string hung from a camera tripod. Paysinger received a souvenir brassiere for his efforts, which he was then forced to discreetly carry for the rest of Media Day.
Paysinger took the dancing, undergarments, and overall absurdity of Media Day in stride. ''The big guys are busy,'' he said of his teammates in the main booth. ''This day is for us.''

By Barrie White, Sports News Editor
Sprinter Oscar Pistorius believes he is on track to compete in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London this summer.
The 25-year-old, due to make his first appearance of the season BT Paralympic World Cup in Manchester this week, is aiming to below the A standard qualifying time of 45.30 for the 400m to make the South African Olympic squad.
Pistorius, who ran in the 400m at the 2009 World Championships in Daegu, is not expecting to just be competing in one Games, but wants to achieve his long-term goal of an Olympic appearance.
"My form is pretty good," said Pistorius, speaking as a BT ambassador ahead of the World Cup and to mark 100 days before the start of the Paralympics.
"I ran an A qualification time two months ago in South Africa, and since then I haven't raced as much so I think it will take me two or three races to get going.
"My weight is looking very good, my fitness and strength is looking how it should be. I'm excited to have another personal best season, and it will be pretty good.
"I'm looking forward to the Paralympic Games, but it's been a goal of mine for seven years and one that I've been working very hard towards since 2007.
"I'm pretty happy with the performances I've put in so far, so hopefully the ones before the Games will gain me the chance to run later in the year in London in both of the Games."
However, chasing his Olympic dream has not meant Pistorius has turned back on the Paralympic world, but has given him motivation to show how far Paralympic sport has come.
He will be competing for the Rest of the World against Great Britain, the Americas and Europe as the World Cup kicks off on Tuesday, before flying to compete in the Diamond League in Ostrava on Friday.
He said: "The Paralympic movement has come such a long way and I'll be really happy to be part of the movement.
"But if I get the opportunity to run in the Olympics, then I hope it casts light on how professional the Paralympic sportspeople are and how serious they take their sports.
"That opportunity for me would be pretty special for me. I haven't done it to prove any points or to do it for anybody else, I just believe that I've been blessed with ability and I don't want to let it go to waste.
"All the experience I've been able to take away over the years from the BT Paralympic World Cup, I'm sure it will be to my advantage going into London."
The BT Paralympic World Cup is taking place in Manchester from 22-26 May with elite international athletes competing in Athletics, Football 7-aside and Wheelchair Basketball. Go to www.btparalympicworldcup.com for tickets and more information.

Mark insists that men don't express 'Erotic Fantasy 'well; that the mere mention of sensuality their big brains to little mush. Laugh lines gives you an inside look into the fantasy centers of the Funny Man's mind, and what he really finds most alluring about the female kind (and it's not something you'll commonly see in the latest fashion ad campaign).
You want to watch a man blush? Ask him what he finds most alluring about women, and why he likes certain, er, traits more. Many guys feel their brains turn to mush and be unable to articulate for a few moments. The reason is simple. You just activated their fantasy center. "Ohhh, if I had a set of <insert body part here> and could do <insert lascivious verb here>, unnngghhhh!!" Then they have to figure out how to turn their primal urges into seemingly intelligent discourse. Not an easy thing to do when your higher functioning head is being outscreamed by the little head. How to make it worse? Have a woman ask the questions. We (men) are programmed not to talk to a woman about such things. Especially one we don't know. If a guy asks, we can get that "you know what I'm thinking" grin on our faces and start grunting.
One of the things I have learned in the last 35 years is that men do not express erotic or sexual fantasy well. Give a man a dozen porn movies to watch and he'll tell you which scenes he liked. But ask him to describe it before seeing it and you'll be inundated with "wellll" and "ummm" and "oh, I, uh" and no details. I have also learned that if a man CAN express a fantasy situation, with reasonable detail and relatively accurate timing, to a woman, she's going to become curious. "Can he do what he says?" There's a catch to that, too. He can't come off sounding like a caveman. "Bonk on head, bend over, bang bang." That isn't going to work, any more than it would if you jumped in the sack and tried it. Express a fantasy that appeals to a woman as well as a man and you can end up with two people dry humping in their minds.
So what is the most alluring part of a woman? For me, it's her mind. Not even I can evaluate the mind of a woman that thoroughly on a first viewing. However, because I've become older and more experienced at human observation, I can pick out the more likely candidates. It's in the way she dresses, the way she walks, the way she sits, the way she smiles and moves. Confidence is one thing that will draw me in faster than fancy perfume or expensive makeup.
I found such a woman. Her confidence level was pretty low, but because our initial interactions were in a chat room, we got to know each others minds. It was a beautiful thing. When our physical attributes were revealed, neither of us cared where the extra pounds were. Or who had which parts succumbing to gravity more than others. Over the years we've been together, her confidence has grown exponentially. Sure, she still has her moments of "Am I Good Enough?", but I try to gently remind her of her accomplishments.
Yes, I have intentionally avoided telling you what body part allures me. Because if I tell you, I'd be morally obligated to tell you what I'd want to do with it. Or them. Maybe in another post. Or five. With the appropriate NSFW label attached.
Guys, never forget that you need to find out as much as you can on your own about how her body works, to what stimulus it responds. Ladies, please, please, please, realize that there are a lot of guys who have the potential to become your greatest lover. They just need a little prompting from you.
Would I be happier with a woman that looks like Angelina? No. Because no matter who she was, she wouldn't be my soulmate. Would it be fun to play with her? Possibly. Depends on her mind.

Interviews with the Panelists and Presenters from the Asian Feastival
Asian Feastival, Sep.6, 2010
I met a lot of interesting people, tasted plenty of diverse, exotic food, and learned a lot about Asian vegetables. My mission for the event was to demonstrate 2 kinds of Korean kimchi making: perilla leaf kimchi and spicy stuffed cucumber kimchi.
One of my readers came up to me: "Maangchi! I'm your reader! Do you need any help?" His name was Samson Woo and he was a Asian Feastival volunteer.
"Sure, I may need your help!"
I asked Sam: "How long have you been my reader?"
He said: "For years! Long time."
I asked: "Have you ever left any comment on my blog?"
"No, I'm a silent reader, but I've made some Korean food with your recipes."
I was lucky to meet Sam there because I really needed his help. He helped me set up the table, took some photos for me, and even cleaned some bowls and my cutting board after I finished the demo. Thank you, Sam!

Before and after my cooking demo, I was at the vegetables and fruits table on the Hotel terrace with 2 other panelists: Kian Lam Kho and Cathy Erway. We explained the name of the fruits and vegetables to those who asked and if they wanted to taste some, we helped them with it. There were all kinds of fruits like Korean melon, jack fruit, durian, and dragon fruit. There were a lot of familiar items there, but some Chinese vegetables I had never tasted. Of course I asked Cathy and Kian so many questions.
"What is this?" Cathy says, "yes, it is…"
Durian: the most popular fruit that people wanted to taste
Qingdao cold noodles (my number one favorite among all the dishes!)
Korean rice cake and rice cake balls (gyeongdan)
"kyaaa! Taiwanese beer tasted good!" : )
I was happy to meet my readers there. "Maangchi, can I take a photo with you? I'm your reader!"
Yay! awesome! I was going to take a photo with Cheryl Tan who was one of the New York kimchi contest judges, but I missed her.
It was great and fun day, but I was really tired when I got home. After dinner, I fell asleep until 8:00 am today! : )
I met Akira Back executive chef at Yellowtail Restaurant & Bar at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he gave me his book. He's a very down-to-earth person! Once we started talking, he said, "hangukmalo haeyo?" "Let's talk in Korean" Cool guy! : )
Jenny and me. Jenny is a culinary arts student and she also has a blog. She made rice cake soupwith my recipe and posted it on her blog.

Notebook grill saves space on the road
Barbecuing is a common part of camping and enjoying the great outdoors, but it can be difficult to pack a grill into even the most spacious RVs. Grills are heavy and can be inconvenient to lug around a campsite, which often persuades may people to just leave the cooking device at home
For campers who aren't willing to give up so easily, the
Hot Spot Notebook Charcoal Grill
is the perfect solution. This grill is designed to take up a small amount of space while giving users enough room to create a delectable meal.
"[I] have cooked everything from hot dogs to buffalo steaks with great success," wrote one Camping World customer. "To clean, wait [until the coals die],
the two grills and X part, slip into a very nice carrying case and it stores real easy! [The grill] fits about anywhere."
At approximately nine pounds, the Hot Spot Notebook Charcoal Grill is easy to move from place to place around the campsite - no more lugging around a bulky, heavy grill to cook a hot meal. When the product is folded, it is about one-inch thick, making it easy to put away for another day.

I would just put them in a glass case and stare at them in wonder everyday. Actually who am I kidding....I would SO wear these anywhere I could. A great pair of red bottoms is worth a few strange stares anyday.

Gargantuan Banana Split
Gargantuan Banana Split at the Central Dairy inJefferson City, Missouri
By(Jack) Harold J. Mc Laughlin, Ph.D.
Central Dairy
610 Madison Street
Jefferson City, Missouri 65101
Telephone: (573) 635-6148
Each time my wife Bev and I visit our friends of 50 years, Bob & Jody Jones in Missouri, 35 miles south west of Jefferson City, they take us to our favored spot in all of Missouri ? well ? almost all ? the Central Dairy in downtown Jefferson City. This is home to the biggest, grandest, tastiest, most diet destroying banana spilt in all the universe.
The Central Dairy is not just any old ice cream shop; it makes its own ice cream and can put Baskin & Robbins to shame with its 31 flavors. I didn?t count them at Central Dairy but there are at lest that many if not more. Regardless of the number, each flavor is rich in fat that makes ice cream so tasty ? and diet busting ? but just looking at all that goodness makes one throw caution to the wind and indulge ? and it?s so inexpensive. Ben & Jerry, eat your heart out.
The Dairy is reminiscent of the ice cream soda fountains of the 50s & 60s but without a soda bar. There are plenty of window booths where one can sit at ease and contemplate and discuss the goodness that is about to bestow them as their order is being prepared. A long red & white striped awning cover all the windows, and protects those customers dreaming of their ?sugar plums? in the making, from the hot sun.
The biggest decision one makes after deciding he or she is going to have a banana split it to decide on the ice cream flavors and the toppings that are so numerous it?s hard to count them all. The banana split expert begins the creation in the usual manner by splitting a ripe banana lengthwise and positions the pieces in a banana split ?boat.? She then scoops out six ? that?s right ? six huge scoops of your selected flavors. These are not just puny petite scoops but ?Hungry Man? sized scoops that are placed three to a row on top of the bananas and three more on top of the first three. She then places the banana bowl on a large piece of waxed paper before adding the finishing touches of three or more toppings, such as Marshmallow, chocolate, caramel, Strawberry, Raspberry ? and then she tops it off with whipped cream and a sprinkling of nuts.When she is done, these toppings, in great abundance, run off the side of the banana boat onto the waxed paper. You then pay the bill, an ?enormous? $4, up from $3.50 in 1999 and $3.00 in 1998, and carry your treasure, gingerly to your table, being careful not to spill any bit of it?s goodness ? and say to yourself, ?How can this be so inexpensive??
My friend Bob and I then engage in a contest to see if we can eat it all ? without getting sick. We tear into it with gusto then slow down when we?re satiated but we both don?t give up until the last bit in the ?boat? is gone. We then finish by scooping the stray remnants from the waxed paper. We then sit back, in a sigh of relief and satisfaction that neither one of us won the contest. Our wives, however, stare at us in a look of bewilderment and perhaps a touch of disgust, that two old men could act so childish over a gargantuan banana split. Ah ? but it was so good and satisfying. We just hope that our ulcers don?t act up and spoil the whole thing ? but still, it was worth it!

Record field of more than 34,000 finishers enjoy ideal spring weather at 33rd edition; Hansons-Brooks Distance Project take Elite Club Competition
By Robin Monsky
CHICAGO - (March 25, 2012) - The 33rd Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K lived up to its billing as the world's largest timed 8K road race as a record 34,372 runners crossed the finish line in Grant Park, beating the previous record set last year by nearly 2,000 finishers. Comfortable weather conditions on Sunday morning greeted participants for the annual kick-off to Chicago's running season with start time temperatures in the mid-50s that warmed up to the mid-60s for the Post-Race Party at Buckingham Fountain. Leading the way for the record field was men's champion Abdelaaziz Atmani of Indianapolis, IN, in 23 minutes, 18 seconds, and women's champion Julia Lucas of Eugene, OR, in 25:37, the fastest women's winning time since Deena Kastor's U.S. record in 2005 and the seventh fastest women's time in event history.
"Mother Nature was on our side today serving up perfect spring weather for the record field of participants," said Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. "This event reflects the true spirit of Chicago with a festive running environment and great cooperation with our partners, sponsors and volunteers. You couldn't ask for a better way-and a better day-to kick off the running season in Chicago."
Running his first race in Chicago, Atmani, 30, surprised pre-race favorite and four-time U.S. Olympic team member Abdi Abdirahman by matching him stride-for-stride, surrendering only a slight lead between the third and fourth miles before overtaking the Olympian with a half mile to go. Atmani, who was the fourth American finisher and 16th overall at the ING New York City Marathon last fall in 2:19:36, was one of the more than 130 athletes taking part in the Elite Club Competition as a member of the Indianapolis-based Athletic Annex team.
"This was my first time running in Chicago and I really enjoyed the competition and the course," said Atmani, a native of Morocco who became a U.S. citizen a year ago. "Hopefully I will come back to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in the fall."
It was a tight race as second place went to David Adams of Lincoln, NE, just three seconds behind Atmani (23:21), followed by Abdirahman in third (23:30), Thomas Frazer of Lake Forest, IL, in fourth (23:30) and Jeremy Criscione of Sterling Heights, MI, in fifth (23:32).
Lucas, 28, battled with Chicago area native Delilah DiCrescenzo to win a hotly contested women's race featuring numerous lead changes among the top three. The former North Carolina State All-American ultimately prevailed by 12 seconds over runner-up DiCrescenzo (25:49). Early race leader Diane Nukuri-Johnson, a Burundian Olympian based in Iowa City, IA, finished third (26:11), followed by Melissa White of Sterling Heights, MI, in fourth (26:28), and Nicole Blood (Royal HS, Simi Valley 2006) of Annandale, NJ, in fifth (27:16). The top four women's finishers all ran faster than the winning times from the previous five years.
"I have been battling back from injuries and I couldn't be happier with the time and the performance," said Lucas. "This is a boost of confidence as I prepare for the 5000 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials this summer. I had never been to Chicago before and tried to take in as much of the city and the course as I could, although the last couple miles were a little hazy as I was just going for the win."
The 4th Elite Club Competition featured 30 of the top USA Track & Field-member racing teams from across the Midwest and as far away as California. The club competitors, including race champion Atmani, contributed to one of the most competitive fields in event history. The Michigan-based Hansons-Brooks Distance Project won both the men's and women's elite club titles. The men posted a combined finish time of 1:35:37 (among their top four finishers) and an average team time of 23:55, led by fifth place finisher Criscione. The women netted a combined finish time of 1:23:10 (among their top three finishers) and an average team time of 27:44, led by fourth place finisher White. Runner-up went to Naperville Running Company of Naperville, IL, on the men's side (1:36:15) and Three Rivers Racing of Ft. Wayne, IN, on the women's side (1:25:52).
The first-ever Media Challenge was held and included 33 members of area broadcast and print media participating in today's race, won by Team Lead Stories captained by WLS-ABC 7 reporter John Garcia, with an average team finish time of 39:19 among its 11 team members. Second place went to Team Shamrock (42:24), captained by WMAQ-NBC 5 manager of news and content development Matt Piacente, followed by Team Bair Feet (43:29), captained by WGN reporter Dina Bair. Bank of America and Nike made a $10,000 donation to the Chicago Park District to support its summer running programs in honor of the media's participation.

Kiplagat, Suver Reign Supreme at Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half Marathon
Event record 14,500-plus entrants for 3rd edition benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure; James Durbin rocks post-race concert
By Dan Cruz, Competitor Group
DALLAS - (March 25, 2012) - Under bright blue skies and sunny conditions, more than 14,500 entrants took to the start line for the 3rd Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half Marathon benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Texas-based Kenyan Sammy Kiplagat and University of Oregon graduate Mattie Suver, who recently moved to Austin, each registered victories, running 1 hour, 5 minutes and 45 seconds and 1:17:40, respectively.
The 38-year-old Kiplagat made his defining move at a water station approaching 11 miles to seize victory. Samuel Kosgei of Uganda finished second with a time of 1:06:01, followed by Craig Leon in 1:06:07.
"I know I didn't have the finishing speed so I had to make my move to win," said Kiplagat, a resident of Hidalgo, TX who won his second half-marathon this month. "This was my first time running a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon event and the whole course, the atmosphere was fantastic."
Kiplagat, Kosgei and Leon, along with fourth place finisher Benazzouz Slimani, ran in a tight pack for the first 10 miles, separating themselves early on in the race from the rest of the field. Passing the 10K mark in 31:32, all four runners took turns in the lead pushing the pace. But it was Kiplagat who made the decisive move, catching the other runners off guard.
"We had a nice group together for nine, ten miles and then at eleven miles he put on a heck of a move. He was on the other side of the road and when we got water, all of a sudden he was gone and we really didn't have a chance to respond," said Leon, who was back racing for his third consecutive weekend after running in the Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston this past January. "I'm still trying to get my legs back under me and I'm focused on the USA 25K Championships in May. I loved the course and you can't beat this weather. Living in Oregon, I hadn't seen the sun in two weeks."
On the women's side, Suver, 24, took the lead during the first mile and never relinquished it on her way to victory. It was Suver's first time running in Dallas after moving to Texas two months ago.
"This was a great race there are some cool neighborhoods in Dallas," said Suver, who won the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Half Marathon last summer. The weather was perfect, lots of sunshine and warmth. Texas is awesome. We love it so far and we've really noticed the hospitality here. It's really exciting; everyone here is so welcoming in Texas. I already feel like part of the community here."
More than 14,500 entrants made up the largest field in the three year history of the event. The 13.1 mile city course started in downtown Dallas at City Hall and finished at Fair Park, adjacent to the Cotton Bowl, making its way through uptown and scenic Highland Park neighborhoods. Participants were treated to a post-race concert at the finish line headlined by American Idol star James Durbin. The fourth Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half Marathon benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is set for Sunday, March 24, 2013.

Rhines, Frey Headline More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon
Three-time Olympian Jen Rhines and two-time U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier Michelle Frey will be the two fastest runners ever to take part in the 9th edition; largest women-only half-marathon set for April 15
NEW YORK - (March 25, 2012) - Three-time U.S. Olympian Jen Rhines and two-time U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier Michelle Frey will headline a field of more than 8,000 runners at the 9th More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon, the largest women-only half-marathon in the country, on Sunday, April 15, it was announced by New York Road Runners president and CEO Mary Wittenberg.
The 13.1-mile race through scenic Central Park is open to women runners and walkers of all ages. The race attracts women from all 50 states and of every level, from first-time runners to elite athletes. Each year, the sold-out event provides thousands of women the opportunity to gather for competition, celebration, and camaraderie. The race champion will win $1000 and receive "The Meyerhoff", an award named in honor of 2010 champion and NYRR member Sally Meyerhoff, who tragically died in a cycling accident last March.
"The More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon is a powerful race that celebrates strong, active, and spirited women," said Wittenberg. "Jen and Michelle bring world class talent and grace to the race, and they are extraordinary role models for women runners everywhere."
Rhines, 37, of Mammoth Lakes, CA, has made three U.S. Olympic teams at three different distances. She competed in the 10,000 meters in Sydney in 2000, the marathon in Athens in 2004, and the 5000 meters in Beijing in 2008. Rhines has also competed in five IAAF World Championships in Athletics (2001, 2005, 2007, 2009 & 2011) and has won 5 USA titles on the track (1) and the road (4). Training under her husband and coach, Terrence Mahon, at the NYRR-backed Mammoth Track Club in Mammoth Lakes, CA, Rhines is the reigning American half-marathon champion and has a 1:11:14 personal best. She will be the fastest woman ever to run the More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon. In June, Rhines will attempt to make her fourth Olympic team at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR.
"I'm looking forward to returning to the streets of New York next month for the More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon," said Rhines. "I anticipate there will be great energy among the thousands of women that will compete in the nation's largest all women's half-marathon. I'm excited to tackle the hills of Central Park as I build my strength for the Olympic Track Trials in June. It will be a great weekend to enjoy the camaraderie and celebrate women's running."
Frey, 29, of Minneapolis, MN, will turn 30 on the day of the More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon. In January, she finished 22nd in a field of 152 finishers at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston. Frey, running under her maiden name of Michelle Lilienthal, finished third at the USA Half-Marathon Championships in 2007, clocking her personal-best time of 1:12:46.
"I've always wanted to compete in the More Magazine / Fitness Magazine Women's Half-Marathon, so I'm extremely excited to be racing it for the first time," said Frey. "I love the energy in New York City, and Central Park is one of my all-time favorite places to run. That, combined with the largest all-women's half-marathon in the country, will make for a really special day! I can't wait!"
The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck will serve as host for the race and will also be running the race it for the second year in a row with Team NOGII to raise money for Celiac Disease research. The event is hosted by Athleta as the presenting sponsor, with product sponsors Aveeno, Birkenstock, Duane Reade, Jenny Craig, Oakley, Playtex Sport, Skechers and Tonalin.

"John Hancock is committed to supporting its employees' health and wellness through a variety of initiatives in connection with its corporate HealthMatters program," said Rob Friedman, head of Sponsorship and Event Marketing at John Hancock. "The Employee Training Program is one such initiative under the banner of our Boston Marathon sponsorship. It also provides a unique opportunity to help employees prepare for the race and give back to their communities by raising funds for these vital and vibrant non-profit organizations."
John Hancock is committed to supporting employee runners by providing coaching from 1983 Boston champion Greg Meyer and additional professional athletes, supported long runs on the Boston Marathon course, training clinics and training manuals, social networking opportunities and fundraising support through a partnership with Crowdrise.
This year the team is being "Coached by Champions" and has attended training clinics and training runs with Ryan Hall, Meb Keflezighi, Alberto Salazar, Bill Rodgers and Greg Meyer. Desiree Davila, Ryan Hall and Greg Meyer also continue to provide training tips through John Hancock's employee training websites.
"As a runner for more than 30 years, I'm both excited and grateful that the employee training program at John Hancock has offered guidance and coaching to help me achieve my goal of completing my first Boston Marathon," said Michael Kohn, Senior Director, Sales and Business Development, John Hancock Financial Network. "Just as important, however, I have the opportunity to raise funds and support the community based organization, Teen Empowerment. This wonderful organization inspires young people, and the adults who work with them, to think deeply about difficult social problems facing their communities, and helps them find ways to create significant positive change."
The Employee Training Program is part of the official Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) and John Hancock Non-Profit Programs, which over the past 26 years have raised more than $150 million dollars for local organizations.
This year marks the 27th year of John Hancock's landmark sponsorship of the legendary Boston Marathon and also the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Company. John Hancock is committed to its long-standing partnership with the Boston Athletic Association to support one of the world's premier sporting events.
