You will also need something to lay the matches on, like a the edge of a table or this CD case that I used.

Step 2: Put on the phosphorus
Step 3: Cover the phosphorus

If you are really concerned about them igniting in your pocket or during storage/ transportation, one option is to dip the heads in melted paraffin wax, and then let them dry. To use, scrape the wax off the heads, and then light as usual. This method also waterproofs the matches. If any wax covers the matchstick, it will slightly increase the time it takes for the flame to get to your fingers (think of it like a candle).
Great instructable, benny.
Notice that the modern strike anywheres have a safety match head with a small dot of the strike anywhere material only on the tip so it doesn't rub against the abrasive surface of the neighboring matches.
I threw a box at the wall with a few completed ones in it and nothing happened to them. :)
I was kind of hoping i could they would ignite like this, lol.

Five questions: New York Yankees
by Shane TourtellotteMarch 07, 2013
The Yankees are a team facing both directions at once. They had the best record in the American League last season at 95-67, won a playoff series (they'll pretend the Detroit nightmare never happened), and carry the perpetual expectation of playing in October, and even November. But the team is seriously aging, and ownership philosophy has moved away from throwing money at any problem that appears in order to keep winning.
There is a turn coming in Yankees history. The overarching question is whether that turn is coming this year, but that would leave me four questions short. I'll start with some underlying questions instead.
Could I be the Yankees' starting catcher?
Probably not, but only because I hate squatting. However, with Yankees' starting backstop Russell Martin snapped up in free agency by the Pirates (ponder that statement: I'll be getting back to it), they have question marks behind the plate, and their options there are iffy enough that Jorge Posada had to deny any interest in a comeback. Yes, really.
The current favorite is Chris Stewart, last year's backup, in his age-31 season. Stewart has a career 59 wRC+, so bad that the only way he isn't batting ninth is if you're doing a Tony LaRussa second-leadoff move with speedy Brett Gardner. His value is defensive, though the numbers come primarily from his 2011 stint with the Giants. He threw out 39 percent of base stealers then (league average was 28), but only 23 percent with the Bombers last season (average of 25).
His hidden value may come from pitch framing, which Jeff Sullivan in this article says is very good in a fairly limited sample. Stewart may actually put up good numbers, only counted in the pitchers' stats.
Next on the depth chart is Francisco Cervelli, age-27 season. His 1.0 fWAR as half-time catcher for New York in 2010 wasn't enough to forestall the Russell Martin pickup, and he was down to a mere 2 PA last season. He's a sub-par defender but can actually hit, at least against left-handers (lifetime 125 wRC+ vs. LHP; 72 vs. RHP). The value of this platoon is diminished because Stewart has splits nearly as wide the same way (but see question 2). Cervelli is no lock for the roster, and being named in the Biogenesis papers only makes his position wobblier.
The dark horse is prospect Austin Romine (age-24). He lost much of 2012 to back trouble—ominous for any athlete, doubly so for a catcher—or he might have been the favorite this spring training. He's still a possibility, with hitting that projects about equal to Cervelli's for 2013 and defensive abilities more in line with Stewart's. The official Yankees plan is to start him in Triple-A this year, but Romine understandably hopes that the future is now, or at least April. Bobby Wilson (age-30), the Angels' backup last year, got a minor-league deal and is a distant fourth contender.
Stewart and Cervelli are out of options, so they could be lost on waivers if left off the roster. That points to them being the platoon to start the year, with chances to play themselves off the team and make way for Romine.
The Yankees may not have great options at catcher, but they have pieces... and two of them may fit a very different puzzle.
Are southpaws the team's kryptonite?
Five of the Yankee's projected starters for 2013 are left-handed batters (with Mark Teixeira a switch-hitter). When there was a seemingly crying needed for righty balance in an all-lefty outfield, they signed lefty Ichiro Suzuki for two years, then picked up negligible righty Matt Diaz on a minor-league deal. When pundits called for them to at least find a righty DH, they signed lefty Travis Hafner. Will the list to port be an exploitable weakness?
If nothing else, other teams have tried to exploit it. Last year, when New York generally had four lefty batters, they faced southpaw pitchers in over 35 percent of team plate appearances, against a little less than 30 percent for the league. That trend should continue: seven of the AL East's 20 projected rotation pitchers are lefties, so those frequent opponents are set up to parry the Yankees' quest for the short porch in right.
The Yankees do have a counter, one that was accidental in 2012 but might just be intentional this year. Right-handed Yankee regulars had some huge platoon splits last season. Alex Rodriguez hit 207 points of OPS better against lefties than righties; Russell Martin was at 237; Derek Jeter was at 218. For comparison, the average split for righty batters last year was 50 OPS points better versus lefties than righties.
Rodriguez's and Martin's splits were out of line with career numbers (A-Rod's especially so), but Jeter's split margins the last four years have been 193, 239, 280, and 218. With Russell gone and A-Rod out for much or all of 2013, though, the brass may be trying to recreate those numbers. They signed Kevin Youkilis at third base, whose split margins the last three seasons have been 448(!), 223, and 185. They're also leaning toward the Stewart/Cervelli catching platoon, and their career platoon split margins are 140 and 168 respectively. (Long-shot Bobby Wilson's is 269, in a 447 PA career.)
This could be the method to the Yankees' madness: balance the adverse lefty-lefty matchups with righties who (relatively) destroy lefties, preferably for multiple years so the regression risk is minimized. Could it work? It sure didn't keep them from 95 wins and the division crown last year.
Team co-owner Hal Steinbrenner says the Yankees are still looking for right-handed bats. If they do pick one up, take a close look at his splits. They may tell a story.
Can the Yankees heal, and stay healthy?
Maybe, and no. No team doesn't have to worry about avoiding or recovering from injuries, but the Yankees have more concerns than most. Alex Rodriguez is out for at least half the season rehabbing from hip surgery; left fielder Brett Gardner and closer Mariano Rivera missed most of 2012 with injuries; young stud pitcher Michael Pineda—gained at the cost of high-end catching prospect Jesus Montero (see question 1 above)—had labrum surgery, missed 2012, and will be back in June 2013 at the earliest.
And there was Derek Jeter breaking his ankle in Game One of the ALCS, the most painful moment of the 2012 playoffs not involving an infield fly.
Jeter's on target to play Opening Day, but maybe at reduced capacity, and that reduction to his speed and defensive range might be permanent. Pineda's a big question mark, as with anything close to a pitcher's rotator cuff. Mariano's been so consistent for so long that, even with the combination of freak injury and Father Time, I'd feel like a sucker betting against him: Mo will let us know when Mo's finished. Gardner's a good bet for full recovery, enough so that there was talk of switching his great defense to center field... even before incumbent Curtis Granderson broke his arm, ironically locking him in at CF when he returns. (Not enough reps in left to switch, The Powers That Be say.)"
This is the "no" part of the answer at work, the injury bug biting early and often. Grandy's out a month-plus of the regular season; Phil Hughes has a bulging disk in his back that may keep him inactive for Opening Day; Kevin Youkilis (five DH stints the last three years) has already been kid-gloved out of exhibition games for cramping in his left side; and now Mark Teixeira has a wrist strain that will sideline him into May.
The Yankees are already getting unlucky with injuries in 2013. The odds, and recovery prospects, are skewed more against them by a common factor affecting most of the team.
The New York Yankees are so old ... (How old are they?)
Rather than stretch out the Johnny Carson/Match Game reference until it snaps, let me show you exactly how old the expected Yankees front-line players will be in 2013.
Position C 1B 2B 3B SS LF CF RF DH SP CL Age 31/27 33 30 34 39 32 29 39 36 32,38,41,27,26 43
(Projected rotation is CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes, and Ivan Nova.)
The only players in that chart not on the wrong side of the aging curve are two back-end starters* and the (presumed) backup catcher. 12 of the 16 will be at least 30 years old, and Gardner will join them in August. The two leading candidates to fill in for Granderson are Juan Rivera, 34, and Matt Diaz, 35. If and when A-Rod comes back, you can replace the "34" at third with a "37", though he may actually be 38 by then.
* If Hughes cannot start the season, his probable replacement is David Phelps, age 26. No big change in age composition.
Being old doesn't necessarily make you bad. It puts you at bigger risk of a year-to-year decline, especially deep into the 30s, and raises prospects of an outright collapse. It makes you more vulnerable to injury, makes rehab likelier to be longer, and makes full recovery less certain. It means you have to be luckier for everything to hold together and to perform at peak levels. The Yankees have not been lucky yet this spring training.
As currently constituted, the 2013 Yankees remind me disturbingly of the 2012 Phillies. They've been successful for several years, but are old, with a couple key players starting the year on the DL. In an increasingly competitive division (you can make a case for anyone in the AL East this year, possibly excepting Baltimore), it looks like they still have the horses to finish on top again, maybe.
In 2012, the Phillies stumbled badly out of the gate, then had super-ace Roy Halladay get injured and have his worst season since 2000. They had to scramble hard to finish at .500. With a couple bad breaks, there's potential for the Yankees to follow the same path. If you want an exact parallel, I will note that CC Sabathia, a Halladay-like workhorse, did have two short DL stints in 2012, plus off-season elbow surgery. Uh oh.
This wouldn't be so worrying if there were a fallback plan ... but is there one?
(First, for those of you needing the Match Game fix I seemed to promise, here you go. "The New York Yankees are so old, they have a _____ dispenser in their dugout." Have fun in the comments.)
Who can fill the holes?
Granderson's likeliest fill-ins at left field, Rivera and Diaz, are scrap-heap pickups on minor-league contracts. Two other candidates, Zoilo Almonte and Melky Mesa, are farmhands getting old for their level. (Almonte, 24, topped out at Double-A last year; Mesa, 26, got 2 PA with the Yankees last September.) One intriguing possibility is age-28 Cuban defector Ronnier Mustelier, who's gone from Rookie to Triple-A in a season and a half. None projects confidently to above-replacement performance.
(The good news: they're all righties, except Almonte who switches. And Matt Diaz does have a career 188-point platoon split. Hmmm ...)
Teixeira's potential replacements all hail from the remaining gauzy-thin bench. Eduardo Nunez, Jayson Nix, and Dan Johnson are basically replacement players (Nunez and Nix career, Johnson from 2008 on). As for added help from the farm, of the top 10 prospects in the Yankees system as judged by Baseball America, only three have played as high as Double-A.
Worse, one of them, "Killer B" pitching prospect Manny Banuelos, is missing all of 2013 with Tommy John surgery. His B-mate, Dellin Betances, walked himself into a demotion from Triple-A to Double-A, and put up a lackluster 4.15 FIP in his 56.2 IP at that lower level. The backup plan for the rotation right now is David Phelps, and he may already be subbing for Phil Hughes to open 2013. Joba Chamberlain says he could start again, but manager Joe Girardi and GM Brian Cashman mocked that idea into oblivion.
The Yankees have a strong front line that, if intact, could win the division again. They're already out of the running for good luck, so their fate depends on whether they get so-so luck or lousy luck. So-so luck would put them in a playoff dogfight lasting until the final week of the season. My money is on lousy luck.
And speaking of money ...
Bonus question: is it possible to simultaneously pinch 18,900,000,000 pennies?
The Steinbrenner brothers are serious about getting their team under the $189 million luxury tax line for 2014. It's colored their off-season, with a number of one-year deals (Kuroda, Youkilis, the obvious Pettitte and Rivera), a pass on trying to retain Russell Martin, Rafael Soriano, or Nick Swisher, and nothing approaching a blockbuster free-agent signing. It may also limit any trading-deadline moves they could make, meaning they might stand still in a playoff race while rivals are jockeying ahead.
The full effect, of course, will be in 2014. They're already conducting triage in choosing between free agents Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano to re-sign—and there's some suggestion that, if they can't extend Cano soon, they'll pass on both! These are not your father's Yankees, literally for Hal and Hank.
If you want a scarier comparison for this team than the 2012 Phillies, how about the 1965 Yankees, going from Webb and Topping to CBS? New ownership, its eyes drawn more to the ledgers and less to the standings to judge success? That club went from Game Seven of the World Series to 10th and last in the American League in two seasons. One can squint and see history repeating, or at least paraphrasing, itself.
Fans of the pinstripes may have cause to rue those huge contracts still paying out. And on that subject ...
Double bonus question: will the Yankees be able to void A-Rod's contract over Biogenesis?
They tried wriggling free of an albatross contract with a PED user once before, in Jason Giambi, and it didn't work. Reports say Yankees lawyers have combed the contract for language they can use, but the truth is, the only effective escape hatch would be an explicit PED clause. If they had that, they wouldn't need to look for it. Therefore, they're stuck with Rodriguez, his distractions, and all the luxury tax implications.

JACKSON, Mississippi — Mississippi consumers should not see a big impact from President Barack Obama's reversal on a key part of the federal health law, state Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney said Thursday.
But, like many state insurance commissioners across the nation, Chaney also said the president's actions could hurt the insurance industry and increase prices over time.
Obama said Thursday that Americans should be able to renew individual or group health insurance plans that don't meet minimum coverage standards under the Affordable Care Act that he signed in 2010. In the past few weeks, companies have been canceling such policies and that has brought sharp criticism from opponents who say the law gives government too large a role in health insurance.
Chaney told The Associated Press this week that about 500 health insurance policies have been canceled in Mississippi because they didn't cover all services required by the law. He said the cancellations were made by smaller companies, not large insurers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, United or Humana.
Chaney said that several months ago, he encouraged insurers that offer all the required services to extend health policies an additional year, until December 2014. He said that allowed consumers "to keep their existing coverage with minimum rate increases and with more choices."
Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon, head of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, said it was unclear how the change proposed by the president could be put into effect because policyholders in many states have already been notified about cancellations, and rates and plans have already been approved for 2014. He said the changes could lead to market disruptions and higher premiums.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday released statistics about how many Americans have purchased insurance through health exchanges, or online marketplaces. Mississippi is not operating its own website, so residents in the state would shop for coverage through http://www.healthcare.gov , the federally run website that has been beset by problems since it launched Oct. 1.
HHS said 148 Mississippi residents have selected coverage through the federal website. The Mississippi Health Advocacy Program, a nonprofit group that supports the federal health overhaul, estimates that 275,000 Mississippi residents could shop for coverage through the site. The state has almost 3 million residents.

text: Home Culture Help! My Family Is Embarrassing Ask Demetria: Five ways to reduce stress when you bring a mate home for the holidays. By: Demetria L. Lucas Posted: Nov. 17 2011 12:46 AM 0 My boyfriend and I are heading to my parents' house for Thanksgiving. He's not the first guy I've brought home, but he's the first in a long while. My family is known for being nosy and inappropriate, and frankly, they're embarrassing. I am not looking forward to this trip. Any advice? --A.K. You are not alone. Here's a dirty little secret about the holiday season that no one's supposed to admit: Folks don't really enjoy it the way all the commercials and Hallmark cards would have you believe. Everyone likes the good food, the bountiful drink and the days off from work, but studies show that most people have high levels of stress over family holiday get-togethers. If you can't take the heat from your family, seriously consider avoiding the headache by not going home. A few years ago, I stayed put for Thanksgiving with my then-boyfriend. I baked a veggie lasagna and bought good wine; he made baked chicken and picked up a cheesecake from Junior's in Brooklyn, N.Y. (At least one tradition was kept.) We spent Thanksgiving morning decorating the Christmas tree and watching the Macy's parade, then we ate dinner on my tiny couch while we watched The Wire. Admittedly, the food wasn't as good as my mother's, but I'd created a new tradition with my partner, and honestly? Not even home-cooked food tastes as good as sanity feels. But maybe not going isn't worth upsetting your people (and they will likely be upset). If you're determined to grin and bear it, consider the following: 1. Stay at a hotel. There's only one queen or king per castle; at your parents' house, they rule. You're already on edge wondering what could go wrong. Reduce your opportunities for embarrassment or complete disaster by splurging for a night where you and your date can actually unwind without being interrupted (and can sleep in the same bed). 2. Make sure your family knows your date's name (and that they know he or she isn't the person who showed up last year). My grandmother had Alzheimer's, a condition that resulted in many embarrassing moments, like the time a relative arrived at a family dinner with his new companion, the woman he'd begun dating after he and his wife divorced. My grandmother saw them together, pointed to the woman in horror and loudly accused, "That is not your wife!" My mother and I calmed her down and corrected her, and just when things were settled, Grandma yelled it again. That's the worst-case scenario, of course. But a relative who greets your date with, "Hey, Marvin, good to have you back," when your date's name is Chris and this is his first visit, will have the same effect on him.

Bank of Ann Arbor's Sonic Lunch is proud to welcome Motor-City rock icon Mitch Ryder to the stage for an epic free performance in Liberty Plaza Thursday, June 21. Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels served as the musical bridge between the Motown soul factory and the high energy, take no prisoners rock 'n' roll that would roar out of Detroit via Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, Ted Nugent and Bob Seger. Mitch is known for his hits in the mid to late 1960s, most notably "Devil with a Blue Dress On", their highest-charting single at #4, as well as "Sock It to Me-Baby!", a #6 hit in 1967, and "Jenny Take a Ride!", which reached #10 in 1965. Mitch has been called "the unsung heart and soul of the Motor City rock and roll scene" by the All Music Guide, and is celebrating a career that has spanned six decades.
Following his performance, Mitch will discuss and sign his new autobiography, Devils & Blue Dresses: My Wild Ride as a Rock and Roll Legend, at 7 p.m. at the Ypsilanti District Library, 5577 Whittaker Road, Ypsilanti, MI.
Ann Arbor's 107one's Martin Bandyke gets us excited for this week's Sonic Lunch: Mitch Ryder comes to Sonic Lunch for Thursday's Sonic Lunch.

Forget the Goldfish Bowl, Get an Aquarium That's a Work of Art
I've always loved aquariums, and although small simple versions are fairly commonplace, lush big ones are usually only found in zoos and some business lobbies. But the days of plain goldfish bowls with algae bloom in your home are long gone -- these days you can indulge your love of having nature indoors with an aquarium that looks lush, beautiful, and professional, not stagnant or scummy. The experts at Aqua Forest can help you create a personalized tank that can be anything from thick with greenery to nothing but an artistic arrangement of rocks and stones. And in their tanks the fish serve more as an accent to a work of art than they do the main attraction. Beautiful.

Syria crushing resistance
Casualties still rising
UPDATED 6:24 AM MDT Aug 27, 2012The daily casualty numbers from Syria seem to become more and more staggering all the time. Activists say 90 people have been found dead so far Sunday. That's on top of the 440 new deaths the activists say they confirmed Saturday.

Daraya, Syria 8/25/2012
The daily casualty numbers from Syria seem to become more and more staggering all the time.
Activists say 90 people have been found dead so far Sunday.
That's on top of the 440 new deaths the activists say they confirmed Saturday.
Nearly half of Saturday's toll includes some 200 bodies found in the town of Daraya, near the capital.
C-N-N's Jim Clancy has more.
And we want to warn you, some of the video in his report is disturbing.
Syrian tanks and troops moved into the neighborhoods of Daraya, A suburb of the capital, Damascus.
It had been a stronghold of the Free Syrian Army, a symbol of defiance against the government of Pres. Bashar al Assad.
As the smoke cleared, two very different versions of events emerged. One from activists posting video on YouTube and sending e-mail reports of alleged massacres by the so-called "Ghost" militias ALIGNED with the government.
In a location said to be near the Suleiman mosque in Daraya, video posted online purported to show the bodies of as many as 150 men, women and children the narrator said had been "massacred."
It appeared some of the victims had been placed here after being killed, although others were sprawling on the floor as if they may have breathed their last in this spot.
Activists secretly videotaped television crews escorted into the area by army troops.
The TV crews could be seen conducting interviews and videotaping the damage.
Private television al Dounia sent a reporter into the streets of Dounia to document events. She directed viewers to gruesome scenes of bodies left in the streets, AND PEOPLE killed while driving.
"Everytime we get into a region where the terrorists were present," she tells her viewers, "we discover what these terrorists know best -- killings, massacres and all in the name of freedom."
While the reporting at the pro-Assad television station suggested the killings were the work of the Free Syrian Army, her interviews didn't seem to make a solid case.
In a graveyard, she finds dead bodies strewn on the ground and a wounded SURVIVOR.
The reporter asks "Who shot you?"
The old woman replies "I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS. HE WORKS FOR STATE SECURITY." I just know I got shot, she says.
Before she's taken away, she says she's grateful for the security forces coming to help her.
The reporter finds other survivors, like two children whose dead mother lay nearby. Again, these eyewitnesses didn't know who was doing the shooting.
Activists who posted this video to YouTube say it shows victims of the crackdown. CNN can't verify any of the details, but clearly, both sides are saying a major military operation seeks to crush the opposition, or quell the unrest.
Daraya was THE SCENE OF SOME of the first peaceful protests that were attacked by security forces. Over the last 17 months, President Bashar al Assad has used RELENTLESS force to end the crisis even as the opposition has grown more militant, more violent and more determined.

I ran the Eve marathon in freezing, cold rain...yet still loved every minute of it. I got a PR despite the weather. I've run lots of major marathons, and this race is just as organized and staffed with amazing volunteers. Course is repetitive, yes, but you know that going in. Makes it easy for friends/family to see you multiple times on the course. RD is great with updates and tips on FB and website. Will definitely run again.
This was a nice, fun, enjoyable way to end one year and begin another, but I must say that I was grateful to have only done double half-marathons because doing double fulls would have bored me on that course. I just feel the need to see something different. And I find it painful to be on concrete paths for that long. No switches to asphault, etc. Excellent shirt, excellent bling, wonderful organizers...Just a bit repetitive. Again, I ran the half back to back, but saw plenty of the course...would not have wanted to seen it all over again.
This is a super new event for those looking for a good Marathon Maniacs 4-star race weekend. The very flat course is a 6+ mile loop repeated four times on suburban paved running trails. None of the route is on city streets, so it is very smooth and there is little camber and gentle curves. The parkland is nice, but gets dull after a while. It is handy to be able to park your car right against the race path to drop or collect gear on each loop. The double metal for racing both days was of good quality. Also, we got two nifty tech shirts, all for $100 for entering both races. There was plenty of food, but it could have been distributed better. More of the food needed to be at the far-end loop aid station. The weather was great this year, but runners need to be ready for extreme hot/cold conditions due to the local climate. Putting extra gear in your car just off the course is a good idea.
What a fantastic race series! I ran double half marathons, and it was more than I could have expected. This was the most organized run in which I've ever participated. The people that did participate were very fun. The race director really created an online facebook community with the participants so it was fun to meet people the day of the race. The course was great because it did not cross streets and the trail is smooth, new concrete so no potholes to trip over. Considering it was new years eve, there were a lot of people cheering runners on, and the volunteers were fantastic. You can't go wrong with this race. It really was a fantastic way to end the year!
The loops meant spectators and water stops could be double-or-quadrpley effective! The trails in Allen were fantastic, too. Bag drop on the loop was great for essentials before, after AND During the race.
Very narrow course which led to a major bottleneck for the first two miles inhibiting the ability to establish a good solid pace at the get go.
Nice course that kept off city streets, great organization, fantastic finisher's medal.
This was by far the most organized and runner friendly race I've ever done! Every little detail was considered...great communication from the RD, great shirts and bling and plenty of awesome volunteers! Can't wait for next year!
I enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the course. It was truly a flat course with some pretty cool views.
Definitely will be running this one again!! But really missed some at end to massage or stretch me out. This is a super picky complaint!! The race was really a blast!

In order to increase the chances for successful protection of homes and businesses from this aggressive termite, Rep. Doug Broxson, R–Gulf Breeze, and the United Peninsula Association are hosting a public workshop at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 20 at Pensacola State College - South Santa Rosa Center.
Staff from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control will present methods of controlling Formosan termites, according to a press release. "We have seen an increase in termites over the past few years. It is frightening to think of the damage these infestations can do to a person's home. This workshop is intended to educate and inform constituents on the steps they can take to protect their single largest asset," said in the press release.
The Formosan termite has extended its range to include Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties. Florida's temperate climate provides a perfect environment for termites. Reports from residents of Gulf Breeze and Navarre, Florida indicate large populations of Formosan swarmers in recent years. These reports may indicate an increase in the population of the Formosan termite and, consequently, increased risk of structural damage in this area.

PR and Shotgun Shell Rednecks
One thing that boils my blood is dumb, inbred, redneck minded morons. If you're retarded enough to shoot your gun randomly into the woods from a 4x4 trail, at least get your fat ass down on the ground and pick up your garbage. I picked these up on my run, 25 shotgun shells scattered all over the trail. Idiots.
The run was sharp. PR'd my 2.27 mile climb by 30 seconds, trimming it down to 23:45. I think once I get under 23 mins it's going to get tough to shave seconds off.
Oh, and thanks for the feedback on yesterday's post. Took the Laramie race off the schedule. The Leadman title (and record) is the only goal.
7 comments:
Ugh. One of my biggest pet peeves next to cigarette butts. It's even worse when you're close by while they're shooting. Last summer we we're up in Lump Gulch and someone was shooting near by. Scary as fu<k.
The record is soft I think and I would be surprised if it didn't go down this year. Both my bikes could have been faster and the 10k cost me time on the 100 run.
A really fast 50 run, with their conversion, could take ~20:00 off. But a really fast run won't come after the 50 bike. The 50 bike is harder than the 100 bike! Then an 8:00 bike was maybe possible? Then 1:00 faster on the 100 run?
About two hours faster over-all if everything clicked.Ha!
Soft record. I think my only real chance that I'm hoping for is a fast ride in the 50 and then a perfect 100 run of 19-19:30. No way I'll come close on the marathon or 10k. And, starting so far back in the 100 bike will make that ride tough to go faster than avg 12mph. Nothing can ever be counted on in these long events. All I can do is put in all the required training and hope things fall into place in the races.I rode faster starting in the last coral! The key to that is to ride quite aggressively in the neutral roll out which you, with your crit experience, will do far better than I did. I probably lost 100 spots in the first 5 miles which stuffed me even harder at the bottle neck once we started up St Kevins. You gotta get around the 2 corrals in front of you!
With out doubt 19:00-19:30 is the key! Do that and ride just OK (like I did) and you'll get it. I don't regret hammering the 10k, but it cost me in the 100 run.
And I do think the record is about 2- 2.5 hours soft :)Well, I agree the record can be trimmed. The dilema is that not many people can ride a mtb for 100 miles at 10,000-13,000 ft elevation at 12mph average AND run a 100 mile race at 10,000-12,600 ft elevation in 11-11:30 pace average. Several can do one or the other but not both (or at least don't have the interest in one or the other disciplines).
As you showed last year, it takes a mountain of base, strength, specific training (excuse the pun). Months and months of training. And then you have to execute as close to perfection as possible. And then you need a little outside help/luck for it to all come together for the title and record.
Macy, on paper, is the favorite. He's never run further than 46 miles (NF in San Fran in Dec) as far as I know. He'll cruise the mtb but he'll still have to run a perfect first 100 miler for the title. Heard a rumor that Dave Mackey was considering Leadman too.
I don't care who toes the line. My confidence is off the charts and my fitness and training backs it.

Forest Service proposes approval of Rosemont Mine in Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011From the Arizona Daily Star June 2, 2011:
Draft document says agency's options are limited
Forest Service proposes approval of Rosemont Mine
By Tony Davis
Approval of Rosemont Mine is proposed by the U.S. Forest Service in its draft environmental impact statement.
The document states: "The actions proposed in this DEIS are for the development of the Rosemont ore deposit owned by Rosemont Copper in a manner that does the following: complies with federal, state and local laws and regulations, reduces adverse environmental impacts on national forest lands, is without undue or unnecessary degradation of lands administered by the BLM, takes into consideration impacts to waters of the U.S.
"Rosement Copper is entitled to conduct operations that are reasonably incidental to exploration and development of mineral deposits on its mining claims, pursuant to U.S. mining laws."
"The proposed action is to approve the preliminary MPO (mine plan of operations) for construction, operation with concurrent reclamation and closure of an open-pit copper, molybdeum and silver mine."
Davis at the Star also got a copy of the summary of the DEIS which is supposedly not for public release…click here to the Star for the pdf.
From August Resource Corporation Press Release Jun 1, 2011:
U.S. Forest Service delivers Rosemont Preliminary Draft EIS
to State and Local AgenciesDenver, CO, June 1, 2011 – Augusta Resource Corporation (TSX/NYSE Amex: AZC) ("Augusta" or the "Company") announces that printed and electronic copies of the preliminary draft Environment Impact Statement ("EIS") have been delivered by the Coronado National Forest to the State of Arizona and local Cooperating Agencies for final review. The Cooperating Agencies have been mandated with 30 days to provide their final comments on the draft EIS as part of the federal government National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") process. This is in line with the U.S. Forest Service's ("USFS") previously announced schedule guidance of August 2011 for the draft EIS to be available for public comment under NEPA regulations.
The Record of Decision ("ROD") for the Rosemont Copper project appears on track for January 2012 and in-line with previous USFS guidance allowing for a 90 day public comment period after the publication of the draft EIS in August 2011.
"With the preliminary draft EIS now delivered to the cooperating agencies we are one major step closer to the ROD," said Gil Clausen, Augusta's president and CEO. "We are pleased with the progress the USFS has been able to attain in the past several months and expect that they will be able to meet their objective for releasing the draft EIS to the public this August."
About Augusta
Augusta is a base metals company focused on advancing the Rosemont Copper deposit near Tucson, Arizona. Rosemont hosts a large copper/molybdenum reserve that may account for about 10% of US copper output once in production in 2013 (for details refer to www.augustaresource.com). The exceptional experience and strength of Augusta's management team, combined with the developed infrastructure and robust economics of the Rosemont project, will propel Augusta to become a solid mid-tier copper producer. The Company is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE Amex under the symbol AZC.
COMMENT: Those familiar with the mining laws of this country have long known that the US Forest Service cannot legally say "no mine" in the Coronado National Forest in spite of what local opponents to the proposed Rosemont copper mine claim.
What the environmental impact statement process is about is to identify environmental impact issues. Period.
Right now there is a "draft environmental impact statement" (DEIS) which has been forwarded to local and state governmental interests such as Pima County. The government interests have 30 days to file comments, then there will be a second draft of the EIS released to the public for their comment. The public will have 90 days to comment at that point.
After the second draft is commented on, then the Forest Service would issue a Final environmental impact statement.
In the current phase on can expect lots of comments from opponents to the mine and from Pima County that the draft environmental statement does not go far enough in cataloging the negative impacts of the mine project claimed by mine opponents.
Once there is an inventory of environmental impacts then the federal agency (in this case the US Forest Service) then goes about crafting a use permit taking into account the environmental impact issues.
Just because there are negative environmental impacts noted in an environmental impact statement does not mean a proposed project is automatically killed.
In this case the US Forest Service cannot just say "no mine".
What will happen is the Forest Service will propose a use permit that says "yes…you can do your mine…but subject to the following list of conditions."
For instance…if the environmental impact statement identifies impact of groundwater pumping to de-water the pit as a negative impact on downstream forest lands and neighbors….the Forest Service would likely have permit conditions requiring Rosemont to mitigate those impacts.
And then Rosemont either agrees to those conditions or doesn't.
What has been starkly missing in the local media coverage and debate about the proposed Rosemont copper mine project is any recognition that Rosemont actually is willing to step up to the plate and work on mitigation issues.
One significant example…which I was directly involved in as pro bono attorney for over 100 families with private wells west of Green Valley…was to mitigate the impacts of Rosemont's well field on neighboring private wells. An agreement which is unprecedented in Arizona water history was entered into whereby Rosemont must mitigate its pumping impacts on neighboring private wells.
Rosemont has also proposed to participate in a CAP groundwater recharge project in Green Valley…something it legally does not have to do…but is the right thing to do for regional water management.
FICO, one of the largest users of groundwater in Green Valley and Pima County have fought Rosemont's CAP recharge effort.
Betting the water and environmental future of Pima County and Green Valley on a "take no prisoners" opposition to any mine whatsoever is terminally stupid on the part of Pima County.
Pima has taken the side of opposition extremists to the mine and failed to do anything meaningful to try and work on mitigation issues for the broad public interest that would allow this multi-billion dollar economic development opportunity to go forward and benefit Pima County's environment…like by getting CAP recharge capacity farther south into Green Valley which would benefit all of the area.
Ultimately the Forest Service will negotiate a use permit for the mine…and Pima County and other interests do not have a chair at the table to try and create a "win-win" solution because they've drawn a hard line in the sand against the mine.
And we all know what happens to hard lines in the sand when the monsoon comes.

Alucard -Spoiler
Alucard inner demon (ONLY comes out when pissed off, it lives inside of Alucard's soul, can communicate with Hades I rp this demon) -Spoiler
Alucard Vladimir goes by many names, Dracula, or Prince Alucard or General Vlad. Alucard stood in the Underworld high rock that over looked most of the Underworld, he saw his father kingdom not very far away, he gave a grin slightly, his father was harsh and mean course he was but he meant well as well. Alucard looked around the demons in his control was so many, half of them had known him since he was eight years old, Alucard had been brought to the Underworld of eight years old, Hades had saved him from his really abusive mother and Alucard has fallen very ill, Hades did the only thing he could have done to save his son's life, he fused Alucard's soul with that so one of the most feared demon's in the underworld, a demon by the name of Reki, this demon lived inside of Alucard and only came out in great rage.
Alucard now was interested hearing shrieking of some souls as hellhounds had attacked some unlucky soul in the underworld that was trying to escape but he knew well that the demons and hounds of the pit of hell would keep them inside. Alucard looked out before he turned and walked down the forest of shadows and flames, he wore a green necklace around him that was from his mentor that trained him here, Alucard went to camp for only few years before leaving and living inside of the Underworld and training there. Alucard cackled slightly as his hellhound fallowed him nudging him happily Alucard pet the hellhounds ear before he spotted Cerberus and bowed his head to the larger dog before giving the dog a large stake to eat before walking into his father castle, he lived inside of it, his room was on the fourth floor and he was going to see if his father needed him for anything. He went toward the throne room, upon arriving he smiled and bowed before his father,
"Morning father is there anything you wish for me to do?" he asked, the thing about Alucard was he was loyal till the bloody end to his father, he didn't care of the price for loyalty, but he listened to whatever his father said. Alucard himself was very tall male, blazing long black hair like shadows and his eyes were red, and blood red. Alucard was not like other kid's of Hades, he had weird powers , powers unlike any demi god. He really was dangerous for once in a war he was shot ten times yet the wounds healed and the blood went right back into Alucard and he was up once more. He was stabbed in the heart and head yet he didn't die , he was wondering if he even was a demigod. He remembers once in a battle looking at his blood and it wasn't red it was golden color, the color of the gods and that scared him. He was head of the demon's of Hades and unlike other general's he treated his army like family, and they thought of him as their father. Alucard also had astrange personality he suffered from duel personalities, he had two, his kind side, his evil and his silent and obedient side.
Poseidon -Spoiler
Poseidon was keeping control of his underwater kingdom, he wasn't like many gods that complained about what they got, Poseidon liked his role, and he was the god of the oceans, sailors, sea creatures and also of horses. He sat on his sea shell throne and smiled happily as he thinks about what he could do with the power today maybe he would meet his daughter, but then again stupid Zeus made that rule that he couldn't see his daughter or son's unless it was needed. So Poseidon sat there and smiled at the water relaxed and happy, he looked at the sunny ocean and smiled. He laughs as a sea lion swam in and nuzzled him. Poseidon gets up and walked out and to the beach and sat down smiling as he relaxed in the sunlight. He hears a girl talk to him and opened an eye to see his father standing over him and smiled warmly ,
"Aye it's you my dear" he smiled sitting up looking at her as he saw a horse herd run past them through the beach, wild horses loved this beach that's why many humans where not here.

Volume 35, Number 37 Weekly Summary for Oct 15-Oct 21 Issued October 22, 2012 Half of Canola Rated Good Three fourths of the canola crop had emerged and was rated 50 percent good and 44 percent fair. As planting of small grains continued, little moisture was available. Warm and windy conditions dried up moisture from the previous week. Wind gusts of 50 miles per hour or higher were recorded at Mesonet locations across north central Oklahoma on Thursday afternoon. The resulting dust storm blew away topsoil and closed I-35 for several hours. Almost no rain was recorded in Oklahoma this past week and precipitation for the period since September 1st was below normal in all districts. Notably, the North Central district has received only half of the normal moisture during this period. As of the October 18th Drought Monitor, two thirds of the state was still in an extreme or exceptional drought, with virtually all of the North Central district designated as exceptional, or D-4 drought. Topsoil moisture conditions declined from the week prior, with 69 percent rated poor to very poor. Subsoil moisture rated as adequate was unchanged, however the portion rated as very short increased to 54 percent. There were 6.5 days suitable for fieldwork. Small Grains: Planting was winding down as much of the fall crop was emerging significantly ahead of last year's progress. Wheat planting was 86 percent complete by the end of the week, seven points ahead of normal progress, and 59 percent of the crop had emerged. Eighty-six percent of rye had emerged by Sunday, well ahead of last year's progress and seven points ahead of the five-year average. Oat seedbed preparation was 78 percent complete and 43 percent was planted by week's end. Thirty percent of oats had emerged, ahead of this time last year. Canola planting was 96 percent complete by week's end and 75 percent had emerged, 18 points ahead of the previous year. Row Crops: Damage to soybeans and cotton from the freeze two weeks ago was reported, though the extent of the damage is unknown. The corn harvest was nearing completion at 95 percent. Virtually all sorghum was coloring by the end of the week and 88 percent was mature, 21 points ahead of the five-year average. Sorghum harvest was almost two thirds complete by Sunday, 28 points ahead of normal. Soybeans in the mature stage reached 63 percent complete, and 29 percent had been harvested by week's end, even with the five-year average. Peanuts in the mature stage reached 91 percent complete by Sunday. Peanuts dug reached 58 percent complete, and 43 percent were combined by the end of the week. Cotton plants with bolls opening reached 90 percent complete and 31 percent was harvested by the end of the week, 15 points ahead of normal. Hay: The fourth cutting of alfalfa was 68 percent complete by the end of the week. The second cutting of other hay was 70 percent complete, ten points behind normal, but 14 points ahead of last year's progress. Pasture and Livestock: Conditions of pasture and range continued to be rated mostly poor to very poor. Livestock conditions were rated mostly good to fair. Prices for feeder steers less than 800 pounds averaged $148 per cwt. Prices for heifers less than 800 pounds averaged $135 per cwt.

The skinned bodies flayed by expert 18th-century anatomist Honoré Fragonard are some of the most renowned yet unsettling specimens in Europe.
Horses, monkeys and even human fetuses are on display, showing all of the gory innards that our skin (fortunately) covers.

Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Science, India
Named after a 10th-century Islamic philosopher and physician, this museum takes a glimpse into medicine across the Middle East and Asia.
Its modest but ancient collection includes artifacts from Greco-Arab doctors and medical manuscripts dating to the tenth century.
Unani drugs and some dusty-looking tools are on display alongside a large array of busts of then-famous scientists, few of whom will be familiar at all.
There are also handmade antiquated clay and mud molds showing the GI and respiratory systems.

Meguro Parasitological Museum, Japan
Celebrating its 60th birthday this year, the Meguro Museum started out when Dr. Saturo Kamegai began exhibiting parasites to raise public awareness after World War II.
His 72 specimens evolved into one of the most intriguing medical museums in the world, with two floors dedicated entirely to thousands of skin-crawling (and burrowing) parasites.
An impossibly long Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense, or tapeworm, is on display.
Those who want to keep the experience alive can purchase a T-shirt with the creature printed on it, more or less where it would be living inside of you, feeding parasitically.
Meguro Parasitological Museum, 4-1-1 Shimomeguro, Meguro-ku, Meguro, Japan; +81 337161264; Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; free admission;
Museum of Human Disease, Australia
This educational museum helps you to "know your enemy," presenting more than 2,000 examples of human diseases past and present.
Among the samples are a 19th-century tuberculosis lung, an ovarian tumor featuring teeth and hair and brains infected with mad cow disease.
Largely geared toward students, welcoming nearly 10,000 a year, the museum is the only one of its kind in Australia open to the public.
Opened in 1960, the museum continues to update its collection.
Museum of Human Disease, Ground Floor Samuels Building, UNSW Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; +61 29385 1522; Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; AU$11 ($11)
Museum Vrolik, Netherlands
This medical and anatomy museum is just one of many trippy experiences in Amsterdam. The 10,000 oddball items from the Vrolik family's collection dating to the 1700s include one-eyed creatures, preserved conjoined twins and so-called mermaid fetuses.
The 16th-century bladder stone the size of a human fist is especially painful to look at, but no more than the pathologically deformed bones or corset livers.
Museum Vrolik, Academic Medical Center, Meibergdreef, Amsterdam; +31 20 566 4927; Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; free admission
