During a race a friend of mine cramped. Another cyclists stopped and gave him a Rennie. With indignation he said he cramped and did not have heartburn, The other guy insisted, he took the Rennie and Viola!!!!!! the cramp was gone. Could there be any truth in this, will Rennie (only one ) have the capacity to reduce lactic acid???? This was related to me as true and it is NOT a joke!!!

Naturally, following such a huge and impressive win over what were then the league leaders, suggestions that they could go on to win the title were made.
"I just think it's unprecedented to go from where we were last year - seventh position [to the title]… That doesn't stop us fighting and wanting to be the best we can be. And at some point in my time here, we will be ready," he added.
Surely, after winning a hard-fought three points against an impressive, battling Fulham side at Craven Cottage, persons will feel that that time may just be now. Steven Gerrard's passionate celebration following his game-winning penalty certainly suggested as much. You saw exactly what it meant to him, what it meant to the team, what it meant to Rodgers.
The manner in which they won the game was the manner in which champions do it - stealing all the marbles even though the game unfolded in a way that stacked the odds against them doing so. Leading that charge against the Cottagers here was Gerrard himself. It was a true captain's display in the midfield engine room, one that saw him make two key contributions that undoubtedly decided the game.
The first contribution helped to haul his side back to level terms after Kolo Toure had put his team behind early on following another defensive error - his second costly one in recent times, and Liverpool's league-leading 30th error of the season.
Rodgers recently spoke about using Gerrard in a deeper role - that of a 'controller' - which would allow him to get on the ball and dictate the play as well as use his energy to regain possession.
"That position is perfect for him," Rodgers said at the time. "He has the personality to play it. When you play in that controlling role you need to get on the ball and he gives us great variety in his passing."
Gerrard had his say as well: "If you play around good players, they make good movement and put themselves in good positions," he told the club's website.
And that's precisely what Daniel Sturridge did just minutes before the break. He made himself available, and Gerrard picked him out with a sublime pass executed with the outside of his right boot.
The England striker raced onto it and finessed it into the far corner beyond a helpless Maarten Stekelenburg. It was a fantastic piece of vision from the 33-year-old, who made 62 other passes on the day, but none as important as this one.
One-One it became, as Sturridge continued his record of scoring in every league game since returning from injury. That's seven in six games now and 16 overall for the season. Only strike partner Luis Suarez has more than him (23).
But the game – as well as Gerrard – hadn't yet gone the distance. Kieran Richardson put the hosts back ahead from close range within 20 minutes of the restart, giving Liverpool all to do again. Coutinho, however, was equal to the task, firing a deflected effort past Stekelenburg less than 10 minutes later.
And then it was Gerrard's turn again. Just when it seemed that a point was all Liverpool were going to get, Sascha Riether fouled Sturridge in the box in injury time, giving the Reds a penalty right at the death.
So up stepped Gerrard, who lashed it home with great composure. Cue the celebration. He took off his jersey and ran to the travelling supporters, earning a yellow card he obviously won't care about.
Having pulled his side three points clear of fifth-placed Spurs and to within four of leaders Chelsea, one could understand exactly why that goal meant so much to him. Those two contributions from him could prove decisive in the race not only for a top four place, but for the title.
Even if the Reds do fall short, which shouldn't come as a surprise given they are still growing, this game would have proved that they at least have enough to be among the big hitters.
Gerrard certainly is.
His performance here earned him a joint game-high Performance Score of 61 points, bringing him to a total of 867 for the season, making him the league's third-best player behind Suarez and Chelsea's in-form Eden Hazard.
That's mighty fine company, and if he continues to influence games in this manner he could well see his side dine not only with the league's most elite, but Europe's come next season.

I Love Cemetaries!I do! I went to Salem, MA for the Vampire Ball, and I spent all day in the cemetery taking photos. There is just something about it that pulls me in. No matter where I go? I go and visit the cemetery with my camera in hand.
HeatherMason 26-30, F 3 Responses 0 Apr 14, 2012
I thought I was the only person who did this!
I love cemetaries too. I like thinking of the age and reason a person died. One time I wanted to take a girl to a cemetary and make out with her there. I was not a pastor then. It was kind've morbid but I thought it would be neat at the time. However, my girl friend had other ideas.
Do you go there alone? You weren't scared?

SPU led by as many as 16 points at 47-31 with 16:23 left in the game. The Seawolves steadily chipped away at that margin and cut the deficit to 63-59 on Christian Leckband's three-pointer with 4:30 left.
Patrick Simon answered with a layup for SPU and Downs scored 12 points in the final 4:09 to repel the visitors' rally.

ELLENSBURG — Mark McLaughlin scored 39 points as Central Washington beat Western Oregon 106-103 in double overtime.
McLaughlin was 10 of 22 from the field, 16 of 16 from the free-throw line and grabbed 11 rebounds. Kevin Davis had 25 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks for the Wildcats (7-6, 3-2 GNAC). JB Pillard had 15 points and 13 rebounds.
PHOENIX — Three-time defending series champion Ryan Villopoto won the AMA Supercross race at Chase Field, holding off Justin Brayton in the 450 Class.
Villopoto, the Kawasaki star from Poulsbo, raced to his 35th career victory a week after opening the season with a fourth-place finish in Anaheim, Calif.
Villopoto passed Brayton for the lead on Lap 13 in the 20-lap race for his first 450 win in Phoenix.
"Justin was riding a hell of a race," Villopoto said. "I have to give it to him, he made it tough. I didn't get the start I wanted because the (starting) gate was slippery, but I just needed to be patient. The Phoenix (track) gets really slick so I had to take my time and make sure my passes stuck."
A 10-time winner last season, Villopoto took a one-point lead over Ryan Dungey in the standings.
• Austin Bragg and Anye Turner combined for 52 points and 32 rebounds as No. 20 Western Washington defeated Simon Fraser 82-69. Bragg had career highs of 30 points and 17 rebounds, and Turner had a career-high 22 points and added 15 rebounds for the host Vikings (10-3, 4-1 GNAC). It was a school-record 36th consecutive home victory for the Vikings, and the 19th straight in GNAC games, one short of the conference record set by WWU from 2004 to 2007.
• Northwest University's Ryan McIntosh put back a missed shot with 1.1 seconds to go as the host Eagles edged No. 6 Southern Oregon 86-84. Michael Greene led Northwest U (14-4, 5-2 Cascade Collegiate Conference) with 18 points. Tommy Jordan had 16 points and Dak Shagren 15 for the Eagles.

• Katie Benson scored 18 points and Suzanna Ohlsen and Betsy Kingma also hit for double digits as Seattle Pacific beat Montana State Billings 63-57 at Brougham Pavilion. The Falcons (9-4, 2-3 GNAC) snapped a three-game losing streak. Benson also had 10 rebounds. Ohlsen finished with 16 points and Kingma had 15, hitting five three-pointers.
• Host Montana State (8-5, 3-1 Big Sky) finished on a 25-11 run to beat Eastern Washington 78-74. The Eagles (6-8, 2-3 Big Sky) missed four shots in the final 1:30. Aubrey Ashenfelter had a chance to tie it with 12 seconds left but her jumper rimmed out. Lexie Nelson led Eastern with 19 points.
• Katie Colard scored 20 points, hitting six three-pointers, to lead host Western Washington to an 81-68 victory over Northwest Nazarene (10-4, 3-3 GNAC). Sarah Hill and Taylor Peacocke each scored 16 points for the Vikings (7-6, 3-2). Sydney Donaldson had 15 points and 15 rebounds.

So, it's been a while since I have popped in to say hey...Hey.
I have been progressing slowly, but surely on my weight loss and at this point, only 10 lbs away from my original weight loss goal. I started my little journey many years ago and have gone up and down in weight over the years. However, I stuck to it some years better than others. This has been a good year for me.
In the beginning, I was 375 lbs and I rode this and to date, have over 5K miles on it and still ride it to work on occasion. I even took it down to the frame and rebuilt it in 2009 with higher grade parts. I love this bike.
Then I lost a bunch of weight, about 50 lbs and decided I wanted a true road bike, found this on craig's list and put a little over 1K on it until it developed a small crack at the bottom bracket, but it was a great bike, I kept the wheels, they have shimano 600 hubs on them and make excellent backup wheels.
Once I got over the losing the Allez, I picked up a CAAD9 in late 2007. I loved this bike and the raw look of the frame. Rode this for 3.8K, it was a great bike. Lost almost 50 lbs while riding it. So now I am down 100-110 lbs at this point, but sliding up and down, never losing more. Grew a little frustrated then became a work-a-holic for a couple of years, it was ugly.
But the call of the Steel Frame was calling. Ahhhh the sweet calling of a smooth buttery ride of a steel frame. It is heavy at 26 lbs full ride weight, but it is a sweet ride. My only complaint is it is a beast to keep going after 60 miles. I finally broke through my plateau riding it though and took off another 30-40 lbs.
I am now sitting at 233 lbs, 8 lbs from my original goal of 225 lbs and down 142 lbs total. I popped into my LBS today for a quick chat on a part for my wife's bike and was looking at some of the Cannondale bikes the place had on sale. I could not resist the call of the Carbon, took one for a test ride and well....I have been resistance due to my weight all these years, but that is no longer an issue. Meet the new bike, sames as the old bike....sorry... listening to The Who.....
Meet the 2013 Cannondale SuperSix 5
It came with Shimano RS10 wheels, and I am thinking of moving to the Mavic Ksyrium Elite S (shown), but Mavic seems to have a 220 lb limit, so thinking I am going to back off of those and build some out with more spokes. I would like at least 24 on the rear, the Mavics only have 20, or find something else with a higher weight limit.
the bike weighs in at 16.7 lbs.
Anyway, that is just my little way to bring you up to date.
Does anyone over the 220 lbs ride these wheels? Any issues?

GREENSBORO — U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, the longest-serving Republican U.S. House member in North Carolina history, has died. He was 84.
Coble, who served for 30 years on Capitol Hill before declining to run for re-election in 2014, died just before midnight Tuesday at a Greensboro hospital, his nephew Ray Coble Jr. said Wednesday. He had been hospitalized since September after treatment for skin cancer and the removal of some lymph nodes, Coble Jr. said.
Richmond County's congressman, Rep. Richard Hudson, posted a photo of himself standing beside Coble on his Facebook page Wednesday morning.
"Renee and I were saddened to learn of the passing of my friend Howard Coble," Hudson, R-Concord, said in a statement. "Howard dedicated his life to serving North Carolina and did so with the utmost honor, integrity and kindness. He never met a stranger and set the standard for constituent service. We join North Carolina in mourning the loss of a true gentleman and faithful public servant, but find comfort in knowing Howard has found peace with our Savior. We will continue to keep his family and friends in our prayers during this difficult time."
Coble cited nagging health issues in announcing in 2013 that his 15th term in Congress representing the 6th District would be his last. He had a long military and political career, including nearly 30 years in the Coast Guard. He was an assistant federal prosecutor, state revenue secretary under Gov. Jim Holshouser and state House member before his initial 1984 congressional victory.
"North Carolina not only lost a wonderful public servant and congressmen, but our state also lost a friend and mentor to so many, including myself," Gov. Pat McCrory said in a statement.
The Greensboro native was perhaps best known in Congress for refusing to take a congressional pension in the name of fiscal conservatism and leading a subcommittee on intellectual property issues and the Internet as the Internet's influence grew exponentially.
News of Coble's death quickly spread throughout the state overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday. State Senate leader Phil Berger, a Rockingham County Republican, lives in the congressional district Coble represented for three decades.
"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Howard Coble, who was not only my congressman but also my mentor and friend," Berger said in a release. "Congressman Coble was a true North Carolina conservative who cared deeply for his constituents and usually knew them by name. I join those all across our state who are grieving this loss, but I know his long legacy of public service will not be forgotten."
N.C. Republican Party Chairman Hasan Harnett echoed fellow party leaders' sentiments.
"Today is a sad day in North Carolina, as we say goodbye to Congressman Howard Coble," Harnett said. "Congressman Howard Coble dedicated his entire life to serving the public and represented the sixth district of North Carolina with great honor and integrity. Strong in character, Congressman Coble modeled for all of North Carolina and Washington the values of a true leader. We are thankful to have been blessed with such an honorable, sincere and authentic leader for so many years and pray for his family and friends during this time."
Coble, who never married, was considered a character from an era of old-school politics and focused less on ideology. Often seen wearing a fedora and mosaic sport jacket, Coble made his career by shaking hands with constituents in the 6th District, which most recently included several north-central counties, anchored by Greensboro.
He was proud of his accessibility to voters, noting that he had participated in more than 200 local Christmas parades and 200 Boy Scout Eagle Scout ceremonies. Coble said he always knew there was a short leash on members of Congress, who were up for election every two years.
"I held that seat, folks, subject to two-year leases, subject to revocation or renewal," Coble said during his 2013 announcement to retire. "Renewal's always better given that choice."
Republican Mark Walker, who succeeded Coble, said Coble was "one of a kind. He was a gentleman and one of the most sincere and kindest people I've ever known."

Wine glasses can be used in a variety of craft projects. This is a guide about crafts using wine glasses.
I would like to paint on wine goblets with gold paint. I already have 4 of them, but if I have more people I can't use them.
By Andreina B.
Hobby Lobby sells a paint called Gallery Glass! It's used for making inexpensive and easy stained glass! I love it and so does my Mom!
Desperate artist here! I have some great, fun artwork I've done and would like to get in on wine and martini glasses,coasters,etc. without hand painting or baking each one! I have tried expensive waterslide decals, lazertran paper, mod podge, everything and cannot find an easy, great looking solution! I would so appreciate any feedback! The product must be somewhat waterproof, i.e. able to hand wash, etc. Thank you so much!
Roberta from Sacramento, CA
Try and find a sandblaster in your area. It will look just like your artwork and be permanent!
If you can't find anyone let me know. I am a sandblaster here in Eureka!
Does anyone have any new and fun ways to paint on glass, especially old wine glasses? I'm looking to put Santa and snowman faces, etc. on them. Any info would be of great help.
By Robin from Dansville, NY
Be sure to paint only the outside, not the inside or the rim as most paints for glass are toxic. One brand is called Gallery Glass by Plaid. I agree with dedeswrkshop that an everyday design would probably get more use. You could always add a Xmas theme wine charm to each instead.
I recently started a job bar tending weddings at a hall, and brought home a dozen flute wine glasses that were not taken home by guests. They are not engraved, but have the bride and grooms names and wedding date printed on them. How do I safely and effectively remove the writing so that I can enjoy them myself, in my home?
Susan from Essexville, MI
How about nail polish remover?
At a craft fair last week-end I saw the cutest thing to do with old wine glasses. Turn them upside down and take trim with beads on it and glue it to the edge of the base. The beads or trim will hang down towards the glass and make a nice border. On what was the bottom of the glass stem is where you set a candle. You could put anything you like inside them to make them even fancier. I think it would be a great way to use old glasses and make a fancy, inexpensive centerpiece.

The Mentalist or The Good Wife? Thats the way most network experts pitched CBS Sunday night dilemma. They could either renew the well-liked, moderately-rated crime procedural that does very well in syndication and overseas or they could renew the award-winning, moderately-rated legal drama. It was supposedly one or the other.
Comparisons to Chuck are inevitable, however, the NBC series was a fish out of water story about some schlub getting a computer installed in his brain where Cybercom Special Agent Gabriel Vaughan in Intelligence doesn't just belong in the clandestine world, he was selected for the enhancement because of his extensive military training. But even government superheroes need protecting, especially when they're a coveted asset.
Weve been waiting quite a while to see Josh Holloway back on TV in a starring role, and CBS is about to make it happen sooner than originally planned. CBS has set the premiere date for Intelligence for January, a month ahead of its originally scheduled February debut.
Josh Holloway, Aimee Teegarden, Kristin Kreuk, Dean Norris, Mike Vogel and Rachelle Lefevre are among the names listed in the panel information below for CBS studios' Intelligence, Star-Crossed, Beauty and the Beast and Under the Dome. Brian K. Vaughan will also be there for Under the Dome, which should please fans of the series as much as it does fans of his comic book writing.
Ready for the fall? Yeah, me neither. The summer TV season is only just getting started but CBS is already getting their ducks in a row for the Fall and those who want to plan ahead can get a look at what the Eye has in store for their viewers come September.
Josh Holloway's got a machine head ( better than the rest). Based on the preview for CBS' new series Intelligence, the drama not only puts a computer in the mind of Holloway's Gabriel, but it also delivers some exciting special effects, imagining the kind of technology a guy like Tony Stark might appreciate. And from the look of it, Gabriel isn't merely equipped with a brain full of files and facts, but a body trained and capable of throwing down when the action gets started.
The CBS drama pilot Intelligence has tapped a Lost star for the leading role. Josh Holloway will come on board the project, which is based on the unpublished book by John Dixon called Dissident, in a starring role.
CBS has picked up two more drama pilots today, one from a trio from Showtimes Homeland, and the other from writer Michael Seitzman. Theyve also made official the order for the David E. Kelley comedy pilot Crazy Ones which would bring Robin Williams back to television in a starring role if it goes to series.

We stayed in the bungalows and the only redeeming feature was the riverside view
Rooms were shabby, hotel staff unhelpful and breakfast was inedible
Friendly staff that accommodated our every need, great food, great drinks. Also, a very chilled out, classy bar by Vang Vieng standards. I would definitely stay there again!

This column by Barbara Breiter, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting & Crocheting, originally appeared in The Weekly Stitch newsletter.
As you work on shaping a project, a pattern may ask you to increase or decrease a specific number of stitches evenly across a row or round. But it won't tell you how often to do this…just to do it evenly.
You don't want the increases or decrease bunched up together at one point because it would make your piece lopsided. To avoid this, you want them spaced as evenly as possible across the row or round.
So you'll need to do some simple math in order to determine how often to increase or decrease so they are spread out evenly.
Example: Let's say you have 100 stitches and the pattern calls for 10 increases. Dividing 100 by 10 equals 10, so you would increase once every 10th stitch.
Example: Suppose you have 110 stitches and you're to increase 10 stitches. Adding 1 to 10 equals 11. Dividing 110 by 11 equals 10, so you would increase one stitch every 10th stitch.

College Hockey:Cissé leaves Boston University for 'other hockey endeavors'

According to BU, Cissé, whose NHL draft rights belong to the Winnipeg Jets, has decided to "pursue other hockey endeavors in his native Canada."
Cissé played in 39 career games with the Terriers and recorded seven points on two goals and five assists.

MIAMI (AP) _ While his rivals are shivering in Iowa's cold today, Rudy Giuliani plans to spend his evening at a rally in the Miami area.
Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucus is today, but the Republican presidential hopeful is hedging his bets on a victory in delegate-rich Florida.
Experts, however, have questioned whether Giuliani's campaign can survive a series of early losses.

Title stolen from Baroque over at A2Y.
So anyone who reads A2Y, Snipe Snipe, Dangle Dangle, or is multilingual and is a fan of Red Wings Brasil is already familiar with Guilherme, owner of the last of those blogs.
A longtime poster at A2Y, "Herm" has never been to the US, let alone to Detroit for a Wings game. The Chief wants to change that. The official Bring Herm to Hockeytown campaign is on.
The "19" from A2Y will be in attendance at the March 26th Wings - Wild game. If enough money can be raised, that will include Herm.
With the holidays upon us, I'm not asking anyone to make a donation. This time of year there are many more important causes being highlighted and I'm not trying to take anything away from those.
That said, if you're interested in being a part of something fun and relatively unique, take a look. I've RSVPed for the game so there'll be a DH.N contingent. Let me know if you'll be there.
The Chief has posted another round of updates on the H2H campaign. Some of the highlights:
$2000 has been raised thus far and that's expected to cover all of the expenses. Anything else that gets donated will go to the Red Wings Wish Club.
A site specifically dedicated to the H2H campaign is in the works.
This is growing very big. The Chief was on XM Home Ice last week and apparently the league itself is getting involved. It's one of the coolest things I've seen a bunch of people get together to do so even if you can't donate to the cause I'd love to see as many people as possible at the game.
I haven't been around much this season but I do want to say something about this.
While this "H2H" thing is noble and all that, there are a lot of fans that don't get to go to games for whatever reason. Just because a guy is in Brazil doesn't mean he's more important than anyone else.
I grew up outside of Detroit but I've bounced around the country a bit since then. I've never been to a live Red Wings game. Am I less deserving of a trip to the Joe because I live far away but not far enough away?
Bringing this guy to Detroit is cool and all, I just don't want all of the other deserving fans out there to be overlooked.
Posting from my phone so this is the short version...
I agree completely. The most extreme cases often overshadow the lesser ones.
That said, I see Britishwingsfan reading this right now and think he's in a boat pretty similar to Herm.
I've got a couple ideas, I'll look into them and follow up later.
I agree as well, there are lots of us out there. I live in South Texas, that's about as far away from the D you can get and still be in the States. I'm lucky if I get to watch the game at all, thanks to NHL Center Ice, I can. However, I did make my way up to Hockeytown for game 5 of the finals last year for my first Wings game. What a great game that was. I try to get to the Wings games in Dallas, hoping to be there 1/16. I was planning a trip to PHX for the most recent game to double as a visit with my cousin. Did anyone notice how many Wings fans were at that game? The Wings scored and the whole damn crowd jumped up, at Jobing.com Arena.
I envy those of you who get to go to games, I contemplated moving up there just so I could get season tickets. =D
I was at Game Five last year, too. Hell of a game for your first trip to the Joe.
I keep saying I won't leave the state because I need to be close enough to go to games a few times a season. It came close once but for now isn't an issue.
I'd like to know if there are any people from here who could make it to Detroit for the H2H gathering but for whom the cost of the ticket is an issue. I'm working on something related to that but I don't know if it'd be any use or not.
For me, it's not the cost of the game ticket, it's the cost of the trip...and getting off of work. It ran me about $800 to go that game, $500 for airfare and $300 for a ticket. I had free room and board at my uncle's in New Boston. Not exactly cheap for one game, but well worth it IMO. Luckily that game was on a Saturday, so I took off Friday and flew in, game Saturday, home on Sunday.
Yes, it was a hell of a game. I need to go to a regular season game so I can soak it all in and roam around the Joe a little more. Actually, I want to make it up there a week there are 2-3 home games and hit them all up at once. I did get to exchange a few words with Ted Lindsay while I was there though, so that was awesomely remembersome.
I wouldn't be able to come to a game even if the trip were free, I have committments that keep me from travelling very much. I'm okay with that, I made a decision that makes a trip like that unlikely but it's just a game.
I can guess that there are people out there like me who aren't as limited, though, even if there aren't any here. I don't think that should be overlooked.
I agree that they shouldn't be overlooked. Unfortunately (and surprisingly, to some) I don't have the reach to do much about that.
I may have a free ticket to the H2H game if anyone needs it but that's the best I can do. I put out a couple feelers on an idea I had and came up empty.
I have to say, I'm starting to have concerns about the H2H campaign. It has accomplished the original goal, which I still think is cool as hell, but now we're hearing things like Herm is going to be interviewed on FSN during one of the intermissions and think we've gone far enough.
The guy is a fan, not a celebrity. This was about giving him an opportunity that many (but obviously not all) other Wings fans have, not about raising him above the rest of us.
And the Chief is teasing some new big surprise in relation to H2H. Interesting.
Yeah, Herm will be on the bench during pregame warmups. Lucky SOB if you ask me. I'm happy for him though, not envious.
I'll be in Dallas for the game tomorrow, so I can't complain, because I do have *some* opportunities to attend games. This was last minute though, just bought tickets an hour ago and have to drive 5 hours to go, but eff it, it's the Wings!
Posting from my phone so this is the short version...I agree completely. The most extreme cases often overshadow the lesser ones.That said, I see Britishwingsfan reading this right now and think he's in a boat pretty similar to Herm.I've got a couple ideas, I'll look into them and follow up later.
Not a Wings fan, but I would contribute to bringing Brit over and be happy to go the game with you guys...Habs/Wings...let's make it happen!
The official Herm 2 Hockeytown site is up and running.
FYI, if anyone is interested in making last-minute plans to go to Friday's H2H game a few people have had to cancel so their seats are available. My extra seat is taken but I think four more popped up due to people having various accidents over the last few days.
Be there for the live podcast featuring every Wings blogger except for me. And if you're coming down I-96 from the West, let me know, I'm driving and I've got two open seats.
Apparently you're supposed to contact Jen MacRostie for details. I don't like posting people's email addresses so I'll link to a page that posts her email address. http://www.herm2hock...to-contact.html

M. R. Davenport
This fictional story is an attempt to show that God can take us from any level to a new place with Him
Page One
The man with the tightly trimmed mustache and military short hair cut took a stool and swiveled into the bar. His face was hard, like he was a body builder and lifted weights with his lower jaw. His blue eyes set deep and, like polished steel, stared briefly at his own image in the mirror opposite the bar. The graying hair belied his age. His reflection was momentarily blocked by the bar tender as he walked by. �Be right with you,� he said. The change of scenery gave the man an excuse to look away from himself.
He glanced around at the smoky din of the room. There were few other patrons, it being only three in the afternoon. Fifteen hundred, he thought to himself. It�s 3 pm, not 1500. A jukebox, likely full of music from twenty years ago, rattled out some soft disco no one in the place could likely remember. Maybe even LPs. Red vinyl benches, cracked and falling apart. Walls covered with archaic wallpaper, old trophies, a couple of dusty deer mounts, beer posters and two small dark blue windows facing the street. Typical 1980�s bar. Too bad it�s 2008, he thought sardonically.
�What can I get you?� The bartender interrupted his musing. The man swung back on the stool to face the him.
�Beam and Coke?�
�Gotcha.� The bartender turned on his feet to prepare the drink. He spoke over his shoulder, �You new in town?�
�Why do you ask that?�
�Just making conversation. Small town, I know most folks.� He said without turning.
�I guess I�ve been here before.�
The bartender turned around to face him, setting his drink on a paper coaster. �You guess?� The bartender cocked his head a bit to one side. �You do look a little familiar.� He stuck out his hand. �That�ll be two seventy-five.� The hard faced man fished in his jeans for cash.
�That�s on the house!� A black woman, tall and beautiful said from the door at the back of the room. The bartender and the man on the stool looked up.
�What ever you say Gracie.� The bartender went back to wiping the bar top down. He didn�t ask for an explanation.
The visitor eyed the lady, knowingly. �That�s awful nice of you Gracie.�
�My pleasure, Bobby. It�s been a long time.� She said, taking a few casual steps towards him and shaking hands. �Probably the first legal drink you�ve ever had in my place.�
Her familiar southern drawl put him at ease with the surroundings. He laughed lightly. �Yeah, you�re right.� He glanced over her shoulder at the office door. �Where�s Natalie?� He asked.
�She doesn�t come around much. She has other things going on.� She sat down next to Bobby. �And you, are you in town for long?�
�I�m done. I decided not to re-enlist��
The filthy, long, black, bearded soldier screamed into Thompson�s face, scattering spittle all over him, his English broken. Thompson never let on that he could speak Lebanese fluently. �Tell me what I want, I will kill you. I torture you with fire!� The man held a lit blow torch up to Thompson�s face. He looked away. He was only human and knew he could be broken eventually. The Lebanese stunk with strong food excretion and sweat mixed.
�Good Lord, you stink!� He yelled back at him. The Lebanese struck him again. His face was numb from being beat, but he still felt it.
�Take off his clothes. Cut them off.� He motioned to three of his men in the doorway, rattling in his own language. �I will burn him.� Thompson resisted the urge to react. His only hole card was that they didn�t know he could understand them. Aware of what was coming and reacting would give that away. Instead he changed the subject. Even though he was on his own, he knew the team was on the way. He just had to survive long enough.
�Did I ever tell you that you looked like Fidel?� He screamed at his assailant. The soldiers began cutting away his desert fatigues. The leader ignored him. �He�s the ugliest, smelliest, worst soldier and nastiest president that Cuba ever saw!� His pants were gone now. The Lebanese smiled, a sick, evil smile. Thompson�s shirt was ripped from him. The Lebanese� arm came down and seconds later, searing pain rushed up from his right shin. He fought against the restraints. The acrid smell of singed hair and melting skin filled the room as he struggled. �Stop, stop. Oh please stop!� His pleas fell on deaf ears.
Just when he began to think the bone in his leg was burning, it ceased. �Where are the plans, you ugly dog? Tell me?�
Thompson was barely conscious. Had he been in his right mind, he would have told the mad man what he wanted to know. But he was a long way from that place at the moment. His eyes glazed over�
�Bobby? You with us?�
He came back from the reality that was torturing him. He looked up at the person addressing him. �Gracie�Umm. Sorry, I wasn�t here for a second.� He smiled it away and changed the subject. �Your dad, Gracie, how�s your dad?�
Her smile dropped. �He passed away a few years back.� She looked at the floor. �He didn�t like the way I was running things around here, so we weren�t getting along. I�m still dealing with that.�
�I�m sorry. That must be kinda tough.� He sipped his drink. �You said Nat was doing other stuff? What do you mean? Did she get married?�
�Nope, but she had a kid.� Her smile returned.
�Really? She living with a guy?� He said, searching.
�Hey, why you so curious anyway? I never knew you were sweet on her.�
�Now wait a second. Who said I was sweet on her?� He laughed. He didn�t do that too often. Kinda feels good, he thought. �So, you got a grand kid, eh?�
�Yep, he�s the center of my world too. He�ll be three in November.� She was positively beaming. �You just gotta meet him.�
�What�s his name?� He asked her.
The smile disappeared again. She looked him straight in the eye this time though. �His name is Bobby.� Her look seemed a little accusatory.
The look was not missed by him. �Umm. Did she name him after me?�
�Well, you tell me?� She was standing now and her hands were on her hips.
�Gracie, really.� He rose to his feet, defensively. �I haven�t been home on leave in nearly five years. He�s not mine.�
She smiled. �I know, I was just messing with you.� She laughed out loud.
Bobby smiled and sit down. �You have a scary sense of humor.� He took a long pull on his drink. �So what�s his real name?�
�Oh, it�s Bobby for real. She named him after you.� A kind of evil humor crested her face.
�Because, she thinks you�re something special!� A voice from the street end of the room piped up. An ugly familiar voice. Bobby spun on his stool, slipping off of it as the owner of the sarcastic remark came into view. In seconds, he recognized his old high school rival, Stan Petowski. �Hey, it�s the big war criminal - I mean hero come home to grace us with his presence,� Petowski continued. He was six foot, four inches tall and looked to weigh about fifty pounds. Skin and bones. Pasted back hair, side burns with a pencil thin mustache and an oblong head. His eyes just appeared like they were looking for trouble. His clothes didn�t match the rest of him. He was well dressed, almost like someone did it for him. And they looked pricy.
�Be nice Stan. I think you should let bygones be by-�
�Ah, shut up Gracie. No one pays you to think.�
Bobby looked at Gracie. �Pays you?�
She nodded. �Yeah, my daddy was right. Things sorta went to pot.�
�Yeah, Mr. Military. Gracie had to sell out or go bankrupt. So while you were off saving a bunch of foreigners that can�t even speak American, I was saving folks around town.� He walked up to Bobby and stood inches away from his face. Bobby braced just like he always did in school before getting knocked down. But this time he wasn�t afraid. �Do yourself a favor, keep your shore leave short. Go back to hiding behind your uniform.�
�He�s home for good now.� Gracie said. Petowski looked at her and back to Bobby.
�Home for good, eh?� He smirked, moving to the bar. He motioned the bar tender and he was brought a beer. �Maybe you should plan on moving then. Your mamma ain�t gonna keep that house too long anyway.�
�Explain that.� Bobby said.
Petowski laughed. He looked up at Bobby as he spoke. �Explain that? This ain�t the U.S. Army buddy boy, I don�t have to explain nothin� to you. You ask your mamma.�
Bobby looked at Gracie. Her gaze fell to the floor. He looked back at Petowski. From his pocket he produced a five dollar bill and placed it on the bar. He strode for the door. Petowski turned from nursing his beer and followed.
Bobby walked through the door with purpose. As he began walking up the side walk in the direction of his mother�s house, Petowski exited the bar. �Hey soldier boy.� Bobby turned. �Things aren�t like they used to be around here. You know, when we were in school?� He sneered. �Nope, not the same. They�re worse. I run this town now. It�s my town.� Petowski pointed at himself, repeatedly. �I got the car lot, I got the bank. I own over thirty houses and two apartment buildings. There�s three gas stations. They�re all mine.� Pointing over his shoulder, he said, �And, of course Gracie�s place.� He pulled a cigar out from his jacket pocket and lit it. Two puffs and he smiled, looking fondly at what he had in his hand. He gestured toward the other man, who waited patiently for Petowski to finish. �This here cigar cost six and a half bucks. Just this one. I buy them by the case.� He gloated a moment and then looked at Bobby. �Your mamma�s note belongs to me.� He leaned in a little, staying just out of range. �So be nice.�
Bobby turned, now with less purpose and walked toward home. The bartender seen a fight coming between the two and had called down to the police station. He never called 911, he always called direct. Across the street, watching carefully, was Chief Walden. He�d arrived as the two came out. There were only three officers in town, so the Chief was usually personally involved. He watched as Bobby walked up the sidewalk, glancing from time to time back in the direction of the bar. He stopped once and looked at the Chief. His car wasn�t marked, but Bobby had a quick eye. The Chief waved and drove off. Bobby continued to his mamma�s house.

HOUSTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is chiding Republicans for blocking a Senate bill aimed at narrowing the pay gap between men and women.
Obama says it seems like common sense to most people. He says the bill would make it possible to meaningfully enforce the concept of equal pay for equal work.
Obama says you'd think that wouldn't be a controversial proposition. He's scolding Senate Republicans for uniformly rejecting it.
He says this Congress is the least productive in modern history or recent memory.
Republicans said the bill could hinder employers from granting raises or permitting flexible hours for fear of lawsuits. Democrats hope the issue will spur women to back them in the midterm elections.
Obama spoke at a fundraiser in Houston benefiting the Democratic campaign committees for House and Senate.

Hardy and borderline-hardy deciduous shrubs, small trees and vines
The stems, branches and trunks of these plants persist over winter, but the leaves drop off in the fall. Examples include miniature roses, rose standards, Japanese maples, clematis and dwarf lilacs. The goal is to keep plants dormant and within the range of winter temperatures they would tolerate if grown in the garden.
Use large containers and plants that are at least two zones hardier than recommended for your area. These woody plants have above-ground branches that hold next year's flower and leaf buds, making them more vulnerable to winter winds than herbaceous perennials.
For the best protection, store them in an unheated garage, against the warmest wall. If practical, place them in a garbage bag loosely filled with dry leaves for even more insulation (leave the top open for air circulation). Keep in a dark part of the garage; light may trigger growth too early. Once a month, check soil to make sure it's not bone-dry, but do not overwater, as this could cause plants to rot or break dormancy.
Hardy broadleafed and needle evergreens
These types of plants transpire (lose water) during winter, and when temperatures remain below freezing for long periods, root balls freeze solid and water is unavailable to the plant, causing leaf damage or possibly death. Examples include English holly, boxwoods, English ivy, cedars, junipers and yews. The goal is to keep them within their hardiness zone and prevent desiccation from winter winds.
Move pots to an area where they will be protected from strong winter sun and winds, and erect a burlap screen around them (don't allow burlap to rest on foliage). Keep plants well watered until freeze-up and check frequently throughout the winter to make sure soil is moist. Thorough watering prior to freezing temperatures and again in March and April, when the root balls are most prone to thawing—and drying out—is crucial.
Tip: Don't forget to assess the winter hardiness of your pots. Soil-filled containers exposed to long-term freezing may expand and crack. Those made of earthenware, ceramic and terracotta (unless designated as frost-resistant) are especially vulnerable; concrete, wood, plastic and metal are more durable, but the last two materials offer little insulation for plant roots.

Today (i.e. 10th Zul Hijjah) you will throw seven pebbles at only the jamarah known as the Jamaratul Uqbaa or large Shaytaan.
NOTE: There are three pillars near the main Masjid of Minaa - Masjide Khayf - which are commonly known to people as Shaytaans or jamaraat.
The one nearest to Masjide Khayf is the small one and the one furthest is the largest.
Mas'alah: Ramee is waajib. Failure will result in dam.
Mas'alah: It is bid'ah (innovation) to pelt the other two jamarah viz. middle Shaytaan and the small Shaytaan on 10th Zul Hijjah.
Time For Ramee
The time for ramee on 10th Zul Hijjah starts at sub'h saadiq and ends at sub'h saadiq of the following day. This time is divided as follows:
From sub'h saadiq to sunrise makrooh
From sunrise to zawaal masnoon
From zawaal to sunset mubaah
From sunset to sub'h saadiq makrooh
Mas'alah:For women, sick and disabled fearing the crowds, no time is makrooh. In fact, for women the time of night is more virtuous and better for ramee.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If possible, one should endeavor to pelt the jamarah in the masnoon or at least the mubaah time.
However, experience shows that in this day and age when millions of people come to perform Hajj, it is very difficult to fulfil this obligation in its masnoon time without causing harm to one's self and other Muslims.
In fact, sometimes, one has to put his health and life into danger. Therefore, it is advised that ramee is done before Maghrib in mubaah time.
If one finds that the crowd of people is very large at this time too, then the women and sick can wait safely on one side whilst the men and healthy complete their obligation and then the women and sick can do their ramee after Maghrib, 'Eeshaa or whenever convenient before sub'h saadiq.
Many men in their zeal to follow the masnoon time take with them women, weak and disabled and face great difficulty.
Avoid this! Precaution is better than cure and regret. If need be, the healthy men may also delay the ramee until after Maghrib.
Remember! Harming a Muslim is haraam and doing ramee after Maghrib is makrooh.
Method of Ramee
1. Come to the large Shaytaan and stand approximately two and a half yards or more, away from it in such a way that Masjide Khayf is to your right and Makkah is to your left.
2. Throw seven pebbles, one at a time, with the index finger and thumb of the right hand reciting bismillaahi allaahu akbar each time.
Mas'alah: With the throwing of the first pebble, stop reciting talbiyah. You may continue other zikr, tasbeeh, etc. besides talbiyah.
Mas'ala: If all seven pebbles are thrown together, it will be counted as one pebble only.
Mas'alah: If the pebbles fall near the pillar, and not on it, the ramee will be rendered valid; but if it falls far from the pillar, (i.e. out of the wall surrounding the pillar) the ramee will be rendered invalid.
Mas'alah: This method of pelting is mustahab. It is permissable to pelt from whichever direction you desire.
Mas'alah:When throwing the pebbles, raise your hand so high that your armpit becomes visible.
Mas'alah: There is no du'aa after pelting the large Shaytaan.
Very Important Mas'alah: One who is able to walk to the jamaraat or reach the jamaraat by transport, wheel, chair, etc. and there is no fear of harm or increase in the illness, it is necessary for him/her to pelt the Shaytaan.
It is not permissable for him/her to appoint a proxy to pelt on his/her behalf, with his/her instruction.
Many people pelt on behalf of others without valid Shar'ee excuse. In such cases, the ramee is invalid and a dam becomes waajib.
The women or the weak ones should have no fear. Go after 'Eeshaa Salaat and you will find the way clear.
Mas'alah: Rush is not a Shar'ee excuse to appoint a proxy for pelting.

NEW YORK CITY – May 31, 2007 – More than 10 million NYC Condoms are in the hands of New Yorkers, just three months after the launch of the country's first official city condom. The Health Department distributed 5 million NYC condoms during its first month, and 3.7 million in its second month—still more than twice the monthly distribution before the Gotham-themed packages debuted. Orders topped 10 million in early May, as almost 1,600 local organizations received free condoms by ordering at www.nyccondom.org or by calling 311.
"We're getting New York City covered," said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. "Thanks to almost 1600 organizations and many New Yorkers, we've distributed 10 million NYC Condoms, and most have gone to neighborhoods most affected by HIV and teen pregnancy. We've got plenty more. Any New Yorker who wants NYC condoms should visit www.nyccondom.org or call 311."
"Customers come in all the time asking for NYC Condoms," says Megan Giometti, manager of Chelsea's Black Door bar. "They're great for business—people really want them and know we have them."
"The NYC Condoms are moving," says Fatima Prosper, co-owner of Folukie Restaurant in Bedford-Stuyvesant. "Customers take them for themselves, or if they're shy, we tell them to take some for their friends and their neighbors—then they definitely grab some."
Who's Getting Some?
Half of the 1,600 establishments that have received NYC Condoms are new customers, just now placing their first orders. One in every three NYC Condoms went to organizations in Central Brooklyn, Central/East Harlem and the South Bronx, where the Health Department focuses outreach efforts. An additional 800,000 condoms have been distributed in Manhattan's Chelsea and Clinton neighborhoods.
Health-care and social-service organizations accounted for 44% of condom orders. Community and senior centers accounted for 7% of deliveries, and schools and universities received 9%. Businesses are also getting in on the action, with 4% going to bars and clubs, 5% to event planners, and 1% going to beauty parlors, health clubs, and movie theaters.
For more information on the NYC Condom, visit www.nyccondom.org or call 311.

I'm trying to front-end ZCS 7.x with apache, so that I can take advantage of apache's controls.
To that end, i changed ZCS to use tcp port 8081, and just plain http. Then, I put apache on the same box, listening on 80 and 443, and reverse proxying (via . the proxy_http module) to http : // localhost : 8081 .
That works fine except when ZCS displays an absolute self-referring URL to the end-user. E.g. when sharing the 'briefcase' with an external user, the url sent to the user contains port 8081 (which I'm trying to hide w. apache, which I don't allow inbound to the ZCS host, and which would evade apache if I did allow it).
I tried to use apache's proxy_html modlue (in addition to proxy_http) to 'rewrite' those self-referring URLs that ZCS occasionally generates. However, I can't get it to work. Initially, I couldn't figure out how to make it do anything. To help solve, I tried to make it work with a remote apache server instead of zimbra's jetty. I got that to work, and so tried the same config with Jetty. It causes jetty to hang, and the web client to give this error:
Service failure
method: AjxSoapDoc.createFromXml:2
msg: Service failure
code: service.FAILURE
detail: contact your administrator (Invalid SOAP PDU)
I don't find anything related in the zimbra log files.
If I remove the apache directive 'SetOutputFilter proxy-html', then ZCS works again as normal, but mod_proxy_html has no effect.
Any ideas how to handle this problem?

This Bacon-Cheddar Potato Salad recipe features three things that go together deliciously — potatoes, cheese, and bacon! This potato salad is a favorite in our house and served at many of our barbecues and summer parties.
The theme for this week's #SundaySupper is Father's Day, and it seemed only fitting that I share one of my Dad's favorite things: Bacon-Cheddar Potato Salad. This potato salad originated with my husband's sister who started making potato salad with bacon and cheese. I took it from there and ever since, I've been making my version of it for my family.
My dad LOVED my potato salad. He always requested it and it always made him happy when I made it for our barbecues and get-togethers.
In 2008, my brother flew from California to my Dad's house in Virginia, so my family and I drove 6 hours from our house to spend the day with them. I cooked the potatoes and the eggs before our road trip and when I arrived at my Dad's house, I cooked up the bacon and finished making it. My Dad barbecued up some "chicky" as he called it. While this usually meant drumsticks or thighs because of how cheap they can be, this barbecue was special and he made chicken breasts.
At dinner, my Dad raved about my potato salad, like he always did. And, like always, he ate a helping that would be easily made for 2-3 (or more) people. We still have no clue to this day where he packed away all the food he ate.
It was a wonderful barbecue. We reminisced, we laughed, we took photos…and we loved being with each other.
I didn't know that this would be the last time my Dad would enjoy my potato salad.
I didn't know it would be the last time I would spend time with him.
I didn't know that the next time I would be at his house, it would be after he was gone.
This is our 2nd Father's Day without him and it's still hard to know he's not here. Father's Day was very important to him. He didn't care about getting presents, but loved getting a call from each of us kids. I wish I could call him up today and hear him say one more time "I love you too sweetie". We were truly his world and if anything comforts me this Father's Day it's knowing that.
In honor of my Dad on Father's Day, I am happy to share my Bacon-Cheddar Potato Salad with you all.
The first step in this recipe is washing and boiling the potatoes. I use russet potatoes usually, but have also used Yukon Gold or other varieties on occasion. I boil them with the skin on and when they are done, I drain them and allow them to cool completely. When they are cooled, I peel the skins off (using my fingers, but you could use a peeler if you prefer). Finally, the potatoes are cut into cubes.
While my potatoes are cooking, I cook the bacon, shred the cheese and hard-boil the eggs. Everything is combined together, including mayonnaise and salt and pepper to taste.
Bacon-Cheddar Potato Salad Recipe
- 5 pounds russet potatoes
- 9 eggs, hard-boiled
- 12 ounces bacon
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1½ cups mayonnaise (more or less, depending on taste)
- Salt an pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, crumbled bacon
- Scrub potatoes well and place in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil on the stove. Reduce to heat to a medium and continue to cook for approximately 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes immediately and remove from pot. Allow the potatoes to cool completely.
- While potatoes are cooling, peel the hard boiled eggs and allow them to cool (if not cooled yet). When the eggs are cooled, chop them. Cook bacon according to package directions and when cooled, chop or crumbled the bacon.
- When potatoes are cool, gently peel potato skins from the potatoes with your fingers (or gently with potato peeler if you prefer). Dice potatoes so they are in chunks and pieces are somewhat uniform in size. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl, add cooled bacon, eggs, and cheese. Combine gently. Add mayonnaise to potato mixture and combine. Season, as desired, with salt and pepper. Garnish with sliced green onions or additional crumbled bacon, if you wish.

Android Market: 37% of published apps are later removed
Mobile market research firm Research2Guidance found that 37 percent of applications published in Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android Market application storefront were later removed for various reasons. By comparison, the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store has removed just 24 percent of published apps.
Research2Guidance said the reason for the discrepancy was probably because Apple's App Store has a more rigid application submission process that might prevent developers from publishing multiple trial or low quality applications. The company also said that 78 percent of apps removed from the Android Market were free, which could mean that publishers put more effort into the pay-per-download business model than they do for free apps.
Android Market is closing the gap with Apple's App Store. According to the firm, the number of applications published in Android Market jumped to more than 500,000 in September. Apple's App Store currently has just over 600,000 applications.
During Google's earnings call with investors last week, Google CEO Larry Page said that the total number of Android devices activated worldwide has reached 190 million and added that mobile revenue run rate is now $2.5 billion, up from just $1 billion a year ago.
In June, Google reported that the company was activating about 500,000 new Android devices per day and that activations were growing at a rate of 4.4 percent per week. There are more than 300 Android device models in all--36 OEMs are manufacturing Android products, available across 215 operator networks spanning 112 countries.

I just broke my Shimano Alivio derailleur on my trek 4300. Couple questions. First, should I just replace with the same model? Is there a better one available for around the same price? Any advice is appreciated.
I just broke my Shimano Alivio derailleur on my trek 4300. Couple questions. First, should I just replace with the same model? Is there a better one available for around the same price? Any advice is appreciated.
Use this opportunity to go SRAM! Gotta change the shifter too though.
My bike build was kicked off my a broken derailleur. X7s are incredible value.
sram rear derailleurs are better than shimano. shimano moves all over, movement means less efficiency and more chance for breakage. sram move less. this is because of the way they are built, i could explain but it would take too long and you wouldn't really care. instead, here is video proof...
There's nothing wrong with Shimano drivetrains. That vid doesn't show me anything valid like which one will ghost shift or which one will cause a skipped tooth. It's a hoax video to help Fred feel better about spending so much more for his X.0.
OP: Save your money and replace it with an LX or SLX RD. I've installed and used X.7, X.9, Deore, LX, SLX, and XT. They all perform admirably. My own experience shows me that XT will outlast X.9 consistantly with regard to the main pivot. X.7 is a sweet setup, but if you already have Shimano shifters...it's not worth the coin to change it all. I've been running Deore shifters on the Crapper for a while now (dual release) and they're still nice and smooth.
LX is pretty bombproof and I have really liked all the XT's I have used... the only rear d that has caused me grief was an older XTR who's lower jockey exploded on me.
Find an older Deore and you will be happy... these are really solid.
I think we're all forgetting that "better" is often an opinion. The impression I've gotten is that SRAM performs better at any given pricepoint, but Shimano will outlast SRAM in terms of durability. I can vouch that in my experience, SRAM X7 shifts smoother & more efficiently than Shimano Deore, & same for X9 vs XT.
BUT, not better enough to be worth dishing out the extra cash for new shifters, IMO.
just a n00b with an ego
