Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of the gums and bones that hold your teeth in place. Instead of your gums hugging up to your tooth, the gums have become inflamed, leaving a periodontal pocket between them and your tooth. If left untreated, the gums and bones holding your tooth in place can become damaged. This can lead to teeth loss.
Every bit as important, recent studies suggest there is a link between periodontal disease and other health complications, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Treating periodontal disease is quite simple. After your dentist removes plaque build-up and bacteria from the infected area around your tooth, an antibiotic is placed in the infected gum around the tooth to treat the disease and promote healing. In some cases, the antibiotic is a small amount of powder that is administered quickly and easily. The treatment is comfortable. There are no bandages and the antibiotic will not leak or fall out.
Most patients see results within a day or so.
Because periodontal disease is a chronic disease, your gums need to be checked regularly. Do not skip follow-up appointments. Also, if you presently exhibit pain or easy bleeding between any of your teeth, call your dentist at once.

Bible Strong
to watch the cataclysmic clash of heaven and earth as the mysteries of the book of Revelation unfold before you and come face-to-face with the key players of the end times drama.
Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today?
And if they are, would you know how to recognize them?
In Agents of the Apocalypse, David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players divided into chapters: The Martyrs, The Dragon, The Beast from the Sea, The Two Witnesses, and more...

Pain and Gain
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."
Genesis 41:41
Recommended Reading
Psalm 105:17-22
Did you hear about the Christian who said his dream was to be a retired missionary? How about the person who wanted to be an author but not a writer? Or the little boy who said he'd like to be the Most Valuable Player on his team? These folks are looking at what only comes after years of work, practice, and suffering. Missionaries have to toil thanklessly, authors have to learn to write, and young athletes must practice repeatedly. It's a cliché because it is often true: There is no gain without a measure of pain.
Joseph didn't go to Egypt with his eyes set on becoming Pharaoh's prime minister. He spent more than a decade as a servant, a steward, a prisoner, and risking his life as an interpreter of Pharaoh's dreams before God rewarded his faithfulness with a place of honor. Even for Jesus Christ, the cross preceded the crown. Life is all about gaining maturity, and maturity must be tested and perfected through trials.
The path to blessing and honor always goes through the land of testing and obedience. Stay on that path and trust God for where it leads. Be faithful in the little and difficult things on the way.
The vessels of mercy are first seasoned with affliction, and then the wine of glory is poured in.
Thomas Watson
Read-thru-the-Bible Romans 4–7
What would you do if you were the only one in town with a storm cellar and a tornado was approaching in the distance? Would you rush to the cellar alone, or would you alert your family and friends of the coming danger?
No doubt you would act to get your loved ones underground. You'd get on the telephone, urging every friend and neighbor you could to join you in the storm cellar.

The Hyannis Harbor Hawks (22-14) jumped out to an early lead, but were unable to hold on and lost 4-1 to the Cotuit Kettleers (22-15) on Monday.

TriMet helps fuel the Portland Metro area economy
|| Print |
The ongoing expansion of TriMet's light rail system has done much more than provide an attractive transportation choice for millions of riders every year. It has spurred new commercial development, created thousands of jobs and helped ease traffic congestion. In addition, transit delivers customers to businesses and employees to jobs, as well as connections to educational opportunities.
TriMet is proving what research has suggested for years: Public transit systems built with economic development as a strategic deliverable can add billions of dollars worth of value to the region while creating livable communities.
"We're the national leader when it comes to integrating transit with economic development and land use," said Neil McFarlane, TriMet's general manager. "This successful model is now used by transit districts across the country."
TriMet's light rail system is unquestionably a magnet for development and growth. TriMet estimates that $13.6 billion worth of development has occurred around TriMet's light rail stations. Now, as the new Portland-Milwaukie light rail line is in the final phase of construction, economic development around light rail is on display again.
All along the 7.3-mile line, new development is occurring. New businesses, housing and retail shops are emerging. In addition, more than 10,000 jobs have been created to date, allowing workers to pump dollars back into the economy.
And the economic development promise of the Portland-Milwaukie line is just the latest success story in TriMet's long history of adding value to the region and leveraging billions of federal transportation dollars.
The Orenco Station project was launched in 1993 to create a community that would provide alternatives to automobile transportation. Located in Hillsboro, near MAX, Orenco Station envisioned integrating residential, commercial and related development with transit. The 190-acre Orenco Station commercial complex opened in 1997, just a year ahead of the MAX station's opening. Since then, commercial and residential growth has been ongoing. The most recent addition, the multi-phase Platform District development now under way, will add three six-story buildings surrounding the Orenco MAX station. "TriMet was a great partner in creating the Platform District," says Gary Vance, senior development director, Holland Partner Group. "The agency supported our vision of creating a community accessible by bike, bus, light rail and automobile where people want to live, eat, shop and hang out."
Another economic development win for the region can be found along the Interstate MAX yellow line serving North/Northeast Portland. The line was completed in 2004, months ahead of schedule and millions under budget. Before and during the construction, TriMet worked closely with many partners to determine their economic development priorities for the acreage along the track.
REACH's Michelle Haynes, director of housing, had only the highest praise for TriMet's role in investing in the Interstate district.
"TriMet worked closely with the city and other groups, as well as with developers like REACH, to create a coordinated strategy to renovate and redevelop the area. There's been a tremendous renaissance in the area. Both our property and Killingsworth Station have grown considerably since then," she said.
The Lloyd District stations have served as another hot spot for transit synergy. The most heralded project may be the new "Hassalo on Eighth" mixed-use project at Northeast 7th and Holladay. The $200 million project will be the largest of its kind in Portland history.
"The catalyst [behind Hassolo on Eighth] is the proximity of the Portland Streetcar and MAX stations, which will allow residents and workers to come and go without relying on personal automobiles. It is expected to lead a renaissance of revitalization in the Lloyd District," wrote reporter Jim Redden in the Portland Tribune.
Clearly, TriMet plays an integral economical role in the Portland metro area. According to McFarlane, "investing in transit equals investing in the community."

Posted by: Vickie, a Wrongful Death client over 3 years ago.
I recommend Neal Kuvara
I hired Neal more than 3 years ago.
Neal handled my Wrongful Death matter.
I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
My Husband was killed in 2008 in a horrible car accident in Smith River CA. Neal Kuvara of the Kuvara Law Firm drove all the way from San Rafael to smith River in a driving rain storm. I didnt know what to do or where to turn but I wholeheartly feel to this day that God sent him to me. He is so fair so understanding. His staff are so kind. My husband was a veteran and Neal definitely understands about that. I would recommend to the everyone that Kuvara Law Firm is beyond the call of duty with their compassion and understanding. Thank Goodness I had Them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: a Personal Injury client almost 6 years ago.
I recommend Neal Kuvara
I hired Neal more than 3 years ago.
Neal handled my Personal Injury matter.
I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
My case was handled by Neal Kuvara in the San Jose location. My personal injury case involved a 3 car accident that the police report found me at fault for. After I heard this I decided to research on an aggressive lawyer to help me fight this case in which I thought I was not at fault. To make a long story short Neal Kuvara was able to determine that car that struck me was was traveling 20mph over the speed limit in which he was at fault for. When I had spoken to other lawyers I did not recieve the same level of service I had recieved from here. I Recommend this Firm I had dealt with there San Jose location for personal injury.

States received a bit of a Christmas surprise last December when the U.S. Justice Department issued an opinion reversing its policy on online gambling. Since then, several states have moved forward in creating online gambling operations. But with new federal legislation being discussed in Congress, states may soon lose their autonomy over online gambling. To discuss the issue, NCSL's Jon Kuhl interviewed Mark Hichar, a gaming law expert and a partner at the Hinckley, Allen and Snyder, LLP law firm.

.sweet sixteen. {redding, ca portrait photographer}
I typically don't take "spur of the moment" photo shoots! I received a text one early morning to see about shooting a "sweet sixteen" later that evening!
Being that it was at 7:30 p.m. I didn't hesitate. I knew, at least, the lighting would be perfection! & a sweet sixteen AH! I knew it had to be special! It was absolutely the sweetest!
Beckah! Happy Sweet 16! You are absolutely gorgeous! I so loved capturing your celebration!Audrey & Hadley! You are amazing & I'm so happy you texted me!!!!!

I love this iphone shot!! Happy times together at In & Out.
Our family absolutely loves & cherishes our friendship with the Flacks! Such an incredible family they are!!
Sort of a last minute shoot, Kami asked if we could pull something off for Mother's Day! So, the Sunday before Mother's Day the Flack Family had a photo shoot!

Of course other drive train components need to be broken in as well. That's why I chose my words very carefully by only discussing the break in of the motor.
I have broken in lots of motors on the dyno with very good results.I have found that most engines will seat the rings in the 1st half hour of running with some variation in load and I have never had an issue with oil usage or blowbye using a rapid breakin and that included 3 previous M-cars.My last Ducati came with very specific break in instructions just like my M3 did and because the dyno was broken,it had to be broken in on the road.
The dealer who is a racer,said to ignore the manual and just seat the rings as I always done and no prolonged full throttle(top speed runs) running for a while.The result has been no oil consumption and very little blowbye and thats with 20000 kms of street riding and over 60 track days.My friends who followed the long breakin as per the manual have had blowbye problems including piston & cylinder replacements.
I followed my method on the M3 and so far everything is working good so far!I am very anal about making sure that everything is totaly warmed up(oil temp) before going over 3000 rpm whether it is being "run in" or normal use.That is allways followed on all my vehicles and so far so good.

Play puzzle games and brain-teasers for children, teens & Big Kids on Learn4Good.com in one games area. From classic-style to newest, from simple fun to the most challenging. Test yourself on your own and with your friends and family. Have fun!
Cool physics-based puzzle and skill game where you must control multiple characters simultaneously to help a main character to escape the level: Being able to jump powerfully from ledge to ledge is a cornerstone of almost all platform games. However, in the absence of a 'jumping' skill, you'd have to be much more canny in your movements, right? Well, let's put that theory into action! Jumpless is a fun, physics-based platform puzzle game where you have to guide a courageous cube character through the right side of the game screen in each level. The catch is that this cube character can only move from left to right – it cannot jump. Consequently, you need to enlist the help of other cube characters and objects as well as the natural terrain of each level in order to carefully maneuver your little guy to the edge of the game screen – and through to the next challenge.
This innovative online arcade game throws classic gaming conventions overboard, and forces you to think more logically in order to complete each level. You need to display tactful keyboard tapping ability as well as good hand-eye coordination and smart reflexes in order to chaperon your cube to success. Are you ready to take the plunge and relinquish jumping, at least for a short while?
PipeDown is an exciting game to test your visual imagination. Can you arrange the pipes so that the ball can freely pass through the pipes, from the top down to the bottom hole in this fun and addicting puzzle game? Good luck and have fun in your challenging mission!
Create portals to escape your maze-like environment: Portal: The Flash Version is a head-scratching, 2d platform-based puzzler (based on the 2007 puzzle-platform video game by Valve) where you must navigate your way through a series of tricky levels by teleporting out of your imprisonment through your own man-made portals. You play the role of 'Test Subject 15837', and must use your character's handheld "portal creation device" to create magical blue and yellow pathways that can transport you to otherwise un-reachable areas of each level. Put simply, you create a blue portal in one wall, a yellow portal in another wall, and use the two doorways as a perfect teleporting mechanism! As you progress through the 40 increasingly-difficult levels, you encounter challenges such as complex mazes, spiky obstacles, anti-teleport areas, and more.
This highly-stimulating, brain-teasing online platform challenge for older kids/ teens provides a stern test of your problem-solving skills. Figuring out a logical solution to transport your character toward the Exit in each level is no mean feat, and requires solid analytical thinking, creative engineering skills, good-old common sense, and the evasive ability to 'think outside the box'. As Portal: The Flash Version is a platform game at heart, your keyboard tapping and fast reaction skills are also very important. Happy teleporting!
Numbers is a fun and challenging numeric puzzle game. Place all the numbers from 1 to 15 in descending order. Use your logic skills to complete this puzzling and addicting game. Have fun problem-solving!
You will definitely need your thinking cap for this one! Cloudy is a difficult physics and timing-based puzzle game for older kids, teens and grownups where you have to plan out a safe, logical route for a paper plane to cross a dangerous, cloud-filled skyline. Your loyal little paper plane travels along a white-dotted pathway, and your goal is to successfully manipulate that pathway so that your projectile makes it safely from the left hand side of the game screen, all the way over to the right hand side. The catch however is that your paper plane must collect all of the randomly-positioned Gold Stars in order to progress to the next level.
This highly-stimulating and tricky brain teaser activity requires good concentration levels and creative engineering skills, a healthy amount of patience, and plenty trial and error! You have to strategically and meticulously create a simple flight trajectory for your paper aircraft, which is certainly easier said than done with these pesky clouds blocking your way, as well as having to collect all of the Stars, and confined spaces to work with. Your problem-solving skills must come to the fore to figure out a safe and secure flight path through the often treacherous skyline. Have you got the puzzle busting skills to reach Cloud 9?
Youda Legend: The Curse of the Amsterdam Diamond:
Please note: This Adventure Puzzle Game takes considerable time to load on slower connections and may take several minutes to complete. On a fast connection, it should take 20-30 seconds.
Here is an original trial and error game for devoted fans of head-scratching online puzzles. Bring your problem solving skills to full flow in this awesome Holiday-themed version of one of the most innovative brain teasers on the web! Sugar, Sugar: The Christmas Special is an addicting and highly-stimulating, gravity-based puzzle game where you have to use your creative engineering and drawing skills to divert a descending flow of sugar granules into color-coded cups! Use your mouse to construct helpful bridges, tunnels, and pathways to channel the tiny sugar pixels in your desired direction, but beware of awkwardly-positioned obstacles, altering states of gravity, and finicky color-changes. Each cup must be filled with 100 sugar granules, and luckily, you've got an unlimited amount of time to engineer a 'sweet' solution to each level.
So, it's time to give your fancy consoles a break, and get your mind and body focused on solving this challenging puzzler that requires plenty of deep concentration, logical thinking, quick reactions, and good decision making skills. This really is a barnstorming, interactive brain teaser than can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages as long as you are prepared to get hooked right in as you try to figure out the often very intricate solutions to each increasingly difficult level. Festively-themed obstacles such as reindeer, snowflakes and baubles only add to the magic! Now, Christmas Puzzle Master, can you display the deft drawing skills to find the design requirement? Enjoy the action!
Protect the vulnerable! Shield a poor old defenselessness cow from invading alien missile-fire in this interactive puzzler by carefully dropping large blocks within the game zone! Protect The Cow: Level Pack is a top physics-based game and problem solving puzzle for older kids and teens where you must methodically drop blocks into the game environment in order to create a protective shield for a happy-go-lucky cow inhabiting land that is suddenly under attack from a naughty missile-firing alien! As soon as you make your final block-dropping effort, the alien spaceship swoops onto the screen, and fires a deluge of cannonball missiles over the area around this innocent farmyard animal.
This quirky and challenging brain teaser requires very good observation of the terrain, savvy creative engineering skills, and a highly determined problem solving attitude. You need to quickly figure out the 'lay of the land', and then systematically add defensive barriers that provide durable cover for your cow (For example, this might include building makeshift bridges, closing off pathways, and even propelling the cow to other areas using the powerful, descending blocks). Your alien opponent can prove quite adept at exposing the weak points in your makeshift defensive structures, so lots of trial and error, and patience play an important role in your attempts to protect your cow. Are you ready to create and construct makeshift fixes to solve each puzzle level?
Frosty's Adventure is a challenging, skill and strategy-based platform puzzle game for young kids to teens where you have to reunite Frosty the Snowman's head with the rest of his body by carefully rolling and jumping his head through a series of obstacle-filled levels! Fierce winds have blown the friendly snowman's head off of his shoulders, and into awkward positions far from the other parts of his body. Our snow-based hero needs your expert help to carefully guide his head from ledge to ledge, collecting stars and avoiding traps along the way. However, this is more than just a jumping challenge; you also need to create pathways, solve problems, flip switches and perform other puzzle-based tasks in this wonderful winter-themed adventure!
The gameplay here is reminiscent of good old-fashioned jumping games such as Sonic and Mario. This interactive platform game is a fun activity for young children to get into the festive spirit while also enjoying a challenging puzzle. You must think logically here, and carefully plan your route through each tricky level by using good keyboard controls, expert timing, and crafty problem solving skills. Enjoy the head-helping action!
3 Slices 2 combines physics, gravity, and geometry to produce a tricky mouse-clicking puzzle game where you have to eliminate as much or as many of the red and blue shapes from the game area with three strategically-positioned turns ('slices') in each level. You are the 'Master Slicer', and must figure out the slicing length and angle for each turn that should produce the optimal gravitational reaction of the cut shapes so that a target percentage of the red (or red and blue) shapes are successfully eliminated from the game zone. This is not as easy as you might initially think because you have to contend with awkwardly-positioned shapes, difficult slicing angles, and unorthodox shapes (the blue ones) which rise like helium-filled balloons when freed!
This difficult and addicting online problem solving brain-teaser requires good observation skills, strategic planning and prediction skills, as well as pinpoint mouse-clicking. An appreciation for the laws of physics and gravity is definitely helpful. For example, you may have to perform one or two preliminary slices to move shapes into position before executing one final / main slice to cause the main gravitational reaction. Younger players can effectively 'slice' their way into this intriguing, interactive puzzle, while more experienced fans of physics-based challenges should get a good workout with this groovy brain-teaser. Happy slicing!
WereBox Game is a fun, addicting, educational brain teaser game where little balls appear to be just ordinary balls, but of course, they are not. At first glance, the game may seem easy, however, level after level, it gets really tricky. This is a great game to play alone at home (or in the office!) with your family or at school as a team/group.
Your aim is to remove all the red objects from the game screen and leave the others by transforming balls into boxes. Note, in some situations that the red boxes cannot be transformed into balls. Use logic to solve all twenty physics-based puzzle levels. You will also need to be very quick in one or another situation as the ball cannot stop rolling once they begin. There are 'Level select' and 'Restart' buttons at the bottom of the game screen. However, you can only select from the levels you have already passed. Good luck and enjoy the problem solving!
Geometrical Figures: This is a fun and challenging puzzle game for all ages. Create the same figure that can be seen in the top left corner of the game screen using the various shapes (triangles, squares and trapezoids) at the bottom of the screen in this addicting game. Rearrange and align the shapes in the correct order to make the exact figure that is shown. Are you up for this puzzling challenge? Think logically!
Santa Jigsaw: This is a fun and challenging jigsaw puzzle game. Complete the Santa jigsaw puzzle by rearranging and assembling the puzzle pieces in the correct order to make one big Christmas picture. Once a piece is put in the right place, you won't be able to move it anymore. Once the jigsaw puzzle is assembled, the Elf's and Santa become alive! Enjoy!
Sports Smash is a fun and challenging puzzle game that helps develop good observation and quick-reaction skills. It is similar to the famous Bejewelled II game. Align 3 or more identical sports balls (football, basketball, baseball, etc…) horizontally or vertically for them to disappear as quickly as possible. You have a limited time of 5 minutes to complete the task and achieve a high score. Good luck!
7 Moves - A great tile puzzle game for young kids to middle school age children that you should find very easy to play (or at least so it seems at first), and involves some basic math (addition and subtraction). Deep down in the Hidden Cave lie treasures of untold riches! Your mission as a treasure hunter is find and collect all treasures in each cave. But you need to make exactly 7 moves (tile steps) in order to reach each treasure chest.
Fun and challenging physics-based puzzle and mouse-clicking explosions game: Mushbooms Level Pack 2 is a skill and puzzle game where you must rid the play area of angry mushroom characters (called 'mushbooms') using the blasts from precisely-placed bombs. You play the role of Chief Mushboom Disposal Expert, and have to carefully place your limited explosives (small circular bombs) in such a way so that their detonation results in all mushbooms being eliminated from the game zone. This is no mean feat as the stubborn little mushbooms are often well guarded and protected by rocks, ledges, and other hard obstacles which also need to be shunted out of the way.
This surprisingly addicting and challenging brain-teaser activity requires good-old problem solving determination, smart strategy, and creative engineering skills to enjoy explosive success. Positioning bombs in the clinical places can be very difficult, especially in later levels when the mushbooms are well guarded, and your explosive reserves are limited. Good strategy really comes into play when you must protect 'happy' mushbooms while still eliminating the angry ones. Are you ready to show off some impressive bomb placing precision?
Ball Puzzle is an arcade puzzle and skill-based game for both little kids (in the early levels) and older kids (in the higher levels). Based on a simple idea and grid, this activity may prove a visually tricky brain teaser for some players. This online maze-style challenge requires good observation, careful analysis and strategy, and exercises your analytical thinking skills. Here, you have to carefully observe the playing grid in each level, and figure out the correct path that enables a small red ball to reach a green exit portal. The catch is that your rolling ball travels along the tiled grid either horizontally or vertically, and continues moving until it impacts with a blue block; you must use these blocks to your advantage. Can you find a solution to each level? Happy problem solving!
Don't let your day just float away! Clear a pathway, control the flood, save the villagers! Flooded Village is an innovative and original engineering-based puzzle game where you can really test your quick-thinking & problem solving skills by having to carefully manage the flow of a large body of water through a grid-based village. You play the role of 'Flood Manager', and have to carefully and methodically remove and re-position blocks and obstacles in order to direct the flow of water so that stranded pirates can float/sail, and plants can grow into trees. At the same time, you must also protect vulnerable villagers by making sure they don't get swept away by the powerful gush. This highly-challenging brain teaser tests your creative engineering skills, strategic planning, good decision making, quick reactions, and more. It could also be a fun interactive activity for young players interested in themes such as irrigation, water treatment, construction, urban planning, and simply finding logical solutions to everyday global problems.
How quickly can you enter numbers to break the code under intense pressure while playing the part of a cheeky rogue? Art Thief is an unusual yet fun code-breaking puzzle game (based on deductive reasoning) where you have to quickly and logically figure out the 3-digit code that instantaneously switches off an alarm system so that you can grab and run off with valuable loot (paintings from prestigious museums). In this suave virtual world, your character is a normal, corporate office worker by day, and the world's most notorious art thief by night, attempting daring heists in some of the most renowned galleries! Known only as 'The Specter', you have scrupulously designed a state-of-the-art code breaking gadget that handily indicates whether your 3-digit guess is 'higher' or 'lower' than the real alarm code in that gallery. Through a series of logical guesses and quick reactions, you try to crack the alarm code to switch off the laser system, and steal the painting!
Yes, stealing is obviously wrong and totally unacceptable in real life, but the best police officers and detectives have to be able to re-trace the steps and actions of the cunning criminal in order to solve the crime, and restore some sense of justice. This stimulating brain exercise allows you to be the villain of the day in an intense environment, and requires deductive logic skills, a good memory, fast mouse-clicking reactions, an enthusiasm for number crunching and problem solving under pressure, a clear strategy, and patience! Each time you enter a 3-digit code, you only get a 'higher' or 'lower' clue as to the exact code combination, so you have to be clever in the subsequent numbers you enter. Guess what? The more valuable the painting – the less time you have to work on the code! So, have you got the skill and desire to break the code? Good luck – and just don't trip that alarm!
Plumber is a highly stimulating and challenging puzzle game where you have to re-arrange and connect a set of jumbled individual pieces of pipe in order to create a continuous pipeline that allows water to flow from the starting tap through to the end point (the overflow pipe). Under serious time pressure, you have to quickly rotate the various bend pieces and straight piping parts so that they form a viable channel for the water to travel through. Once your pipeline is complete, you can start the flow of water and progress to the next challenge!
This innovative maze-based, construction game requires quick logical thinking on your hands and knees (You have less than 45 seconds to construct a pathway for the water in each level). This problem solving brain teaser is an ideal activity for players who enjoy a fast-paced puzzle with a real-life concept (everyday plumbing issues). Good observation and decision making skills are important (Will you spot when you've made an error in direction?) If you realize that you have started down an impossible pathway early enough, you might just have enough time to rectify the situation. Plumbing and water routing sure can pack a brain-teasing punch! Let's see how far your pipeline building skills can take you!

I guess, my point is that it's not her fault that the media loves her. And since that behooves her, then I can't fault her for playing into the media.

I hate to keep using golf analogies here, but it's like... my parents are HUGE PGA fans and they always hated, hated, hated Tiger Woods in his heyday because that's all the media would ever talk about. Even if he had a shitty day. But, I used to get so frustrated with them, because it's not his fault that the broadcast would show him sizing up a putt for 10 minutes while other guys were making putts/missing putts, whatever. (Not a completely fair analogy since Tiger Woods was admittedly an absolute BEAST at his sport).

But, I am frustrated (just like you and I think everyone else) that the media just latches onto whomever they think is prettiest or whatever. It would be nice to be in a world where TALENT and HARD WORK were rewarded in the media and with sponsorships.

She ran a 1:11 at Rock N Roll NOLA 1/2 back in 2013, when she was all, "I could PR! I could do great!" She had no injuries or excuses then. Her career is continuing its decline, and her joining Oiselle really highlights that.
She used to be a great runner; her winning days are probably over. It's time for the media and sponsors to show some love to some other racers out there.

I've never been a Kara fan. I said it was because she just never seems to live up to the expectations, she's always injured, and she just seems like a fame whore. And one of my favorite running buddies basically said she liked her for all those same reasons -- she liked that she deals with injuries like a regular runner, and she likes that she seems so real and approachable and has brought positive attention to US women's distance.
I can't say NY changed my feelings about her at all. I watched her interview (I was actually totally pissed at ESPN about so much coverage of the women's finish and awards because we were missing the big move that happened on the men's side during that time), and I felt sad for her and I loved it when her son gave her a kiss, it was so sweet. I agree with all your points -- totally excusable, and completely understood she has to forecast big because that's how she gets sponsors and attention. But for me, she and Ryan Hall are in the same "blah" bucket. I'm with you in camp Desi.

It's great that she wants to rub shoulders with the everyday folks at bird camp, but I think it may have taken her focus away from her goals.

She is an extremely talented racer, but I think her career is on the downswing.

I think because she set the bar so high when she first came storming on the scene. She beat Paula Radcliff at the Bupa Great North Half marathon, and then a few months later she places 3rd at NYC.

I thinks we (at least me) expect so much from our superstars, that yes it is hard to remember that they are human.

And even the great Paula Radcliff has had epic failure days too.

Carter mesmerises on and off the field
Related Links

National News
Dan Carter's mesmerising performance has left UK rugby scribes grasping for the superlatives in the wake of yet another dominant All Black performance against Scotland today.
The 30-year-old, playing his 93rd test, was the standout individual on display as the All Blacks ran in six tries to three to get their annual northern tour off to a successful, if predictable, start with a 51-22 victory.
Writing for The Times, John Westerby praised Carter's "creative influence" as the master five-eighths had a direct hand in three tries and landed nine of his 10 shots at goal for a haul of 21 points.
"Some fly halves can pass, some can kick, some can tackle and some can run. Carter did all of these things, his running game of a class that no other fly half comes close to matching," wrote Westerby.
He said Carter "strolled through the game with a magisterial air… however frenetic the action around him, Carter, with his gently rolling gait, appears to be running through his repertoire at three-quarter pace.
"Such wonderful cohesion was all the more remarkable for the 10 changes, demonstrating that, for all the stardust sprinkled by Carter and Richie McCaw, the key to the All Blacks' success is the ability to keep 15 players on the same wavelength."
Writing in The Guardian, respected rugby scribe Robert Kitson said Carter's performance "illuminated" a mild Edinburgh afternoon.
"On this evidence, the world champions will end 2012 triumphantly unbeaten and Carter will be the world's best number 10 for as long as he laces up his white boots," wrote Kitson.
"In the second quarter, in particular, the All Blacks' passing was little short of mesmeric as Carter and friends scored three dagger-sharp tries in seven minutes to kill the game as a contest."
The Guardian scribe also pointed out the folly of Scotland's seemingly reluctant defensive line.
"Offering Carter and the All Black midfield extra room is the rugby equivalent of giving Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid a few extra sticks of dynamite.
''It is now seven years since an unstoppable Carter took the Lions apart in Wellington with the definitive fly-half display of the modern era, but age has not wearied him."
Veteran Telegraph rugby man Mick Clearly was no less flowing in his praise as the All Blacks continued a northern tour win streak that dates back to 2002.
"There were times when the All Blacks flowed across the turf like an irresistible tide coming to shore," wrote Cleary.
"New Zealand have lost none of their aura, retaining all of their power and majesty.
"At the heart of their all-consuming performance was Carter... it was the effortless grace of his play that took the breath away. Carter not only has touch, vision, and deftness, but he is also tough, forever in the fray [and] nerveless in all that he does. Where others look hurried, Carter is poised, the master of all that he surveys."
Cleary wrote that these All Blacks have the "instincts of a predator, sniffing weakness from a hundred paces" and that Carter was "without equal in that regard".
It wasn't only those writing from the comfort of the media tribunes that were won over by the All Blacks' tour-opening effort.
Scots flanker Alasdair Strokosch told reporters after the game that the speed with which the All Blacks played in the first half had been difficult to counter.
"We just don't see a lot of that in Europe," he said.
"They execute everything at such high speed, with very few mistakes, it's very difficult to play against."
Scotland coach Andy Robinson also joined the Carter bandwagon, ruing his side's lack of defensive line speed.
"If you give a guy like that time and space he'll pull the strings," said Robinson.
"He just sucks you in: pass, pass, pass and then he's gone. That's the quality of the man."

Identity Management
The Department of Homeland Security will use video footage collected at a recent Western Hockey League game in Washington state to compare various facial recognition technologies. It's part of an effort to help other federal agencies decide what kind of recognition system they might need.
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) gathered the video at the request of DHS Science & Technology Directorate's Resilient Systems Division.
DHS Science & Technology Directorate spokesman John Verrico told FCW that the video footage collected by PNNL would be used to compare the capabilities of various current state-of-the-art and commonly available, off-the-shelf facial recognition systems in changeable, realistic conditions.
Just a (recognized) face in the crowd
The video was taken with standard video cameras, not specialized equipment, he said. Standard-grade cameras are more commonly used at government agencies than cameras capable of capturing extreme detail. Using the standard cameras would present a more typical foundation to measure the effectiveness of facial recognition systems, Verrico said.
The results of the comparisons, he said, could be used by federal agencies "to figure out what their needs are and what kind of capabilities" might fill them.
PNNL collected generic background video of the crowd gathered at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Wash., on Sept. 21 to watch the Tri-City Americans' season opener. In the crowd, however, were 20 PNNL volunteers who had agreed to be identified by DHS in its comparison work as they walked the arena's concourse and stood in concession lines. Hockey fans were notified in advance of the activity and given capabilities to avoid cameras and opt out of being recorded.
The video was taken from several set locations in the arena's concourse before and during the game, according to PNNL. The Toyota Center has been used as a test bed for data collection since 2008.
