By one count, the entertainment franchise of James Bond has featured 20 different aircraft and more than 70 different cars and trucks, including the auto rickshaw of "Octopussy" but not counting the moon buggy of "Diamonds Are Forever." More than a dozen of 007's wristwatches feature things like garrote wire, a dart gun, a ticker-tape readout and an electromagnet that deflects bullets and unzips dresses.
The laws of toy physics dictate that anyone with so much cool stuff must now and then come into a boat or two. Bond and his enemies have taken the helm of several, and four of them will be featured in our annual tribute to boat lust, the Seattle Boat Show.
This year's show is, as usual, over the top, lasting 10 days, covering two venues, displaying more than 1,000 boats in nearly 600 exhibits and putting on dozens of seminars on boating and fishing. Fittingly, this year's major attraction — carrying out the theme "007 in 2007" — is four of the world's most over-the-top watercraft used for action scenes and chases in the Bond film series.

The underwater "tow sled" of "Thunderball," with headlights and '60s-era racing stripes, is used by Bond nemesis Largo and his henchmen, and briefly by Bond, in the film's underwater battle sequence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2M-7gqGhcY). Fourteen were built but only two still exist. This one comes from the Ian Fleming Foundation, which is lending the four boat-show vessels from its collection of 28 Bond vehicles.
Seattle Boat Show
The Seattle Boat Show continues through Feb. 3, at the Qwest Field Event Center and on the South Lake Union waterfront at 901 Fairview Ave. N., Seattle.
A free shuttle between the two venues will run continuously during show hours.
Hours at the event center are noon to 8 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. South Lake Union hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for youths ages 11 to 17 and free for younger children. A three-day flex pass is available for $18.

"Diamonds Are Forever" submarine
The Bath-O-Sub from "Diamonds Are Forever" is another underwater vehicle used by another nemesis, Blofeld, to escape the oil rig that served as his headquarters. According to the unofficial MI6 Web site documenting many Bond gadgets, the vehicle is a one-seater mini-sub with two turbine thrusters.
"Live and Let Die" boat
The chase boat of "Live and Let Die" is the most conventional boat of the display and one of 26 built by the Glastron boat company for the 1973 film. Seventeen were destroyed in rehearsals, including practice jumps for a chase sequence in the Louisiana bayou. One, driven by Bond, unintentionally made a record 110-foot jump over two police cars. The boat featured in the Seattle show was driven by Dr. Kananga's henchmen and made a slightly shorter jump into a swimming pool.
"The World Is Not Enough" jet boat
The Q jet boat, which looks more like something out of "Star Wars" than star of Bond's "The World Is Not Enough," is a Northwest product made good. It was built in Lewiston, Idaho, by Bentz Boats and Doug Riddle of Riddle Marine, a specialist in jet-powered race craft. In a matter of weeks, they built 15 of the boats, spares needed for the fairly destructive testing and stunts in a chase scene on the Thames River.
The boat is essentially a wide and outrageously powered personal watercraft, less than 14 feet long, weighing more than 1,800 pounds and propelled by a loud 320-horsepower Chevy V-8 engine.
"The House of Parliament was complaining about the noise," said Riddle, who spent five months in England for rehearsals on a lake south of London and filming of what became the largest pre-credit sequence of any Bond movie. Film buffs voted it the best film scene featuring London. The highlight, aside from the scenery, is a barrel roll that claimed an inordinate number of prototypes in rehearsals. The stunt can be seen on the video "A View … to a Boat Chase," about the making of the boat chase scene, and on a trailer that can be viewed at www.bondpix.com/Videos/DVDTrailer.wmv.
Bond gadget caveat
All four vehicles are cool boats indeed, but the rigors of fair and balanced journalism dictate that we note that none of the Seattle Boat Show's Bond fleet is featured among Popular Science's list of Top 15 Bond gadgets. There, among the "Thunderball" jet pack, the heavily firepowered "toy helicopter" of "You Only Live Twice" and the Aston Martin DB5 of "Goldfinger," lies the mechanical alligator Bond hid in going to and from the all-female island in "Octopussy." And taking top billing is the Lotus Esprit submarine car from "The Spy Who Loved Me," featuring a periscope and fins that take the roles of wheels.
Still, you won't be seeing any of these boats in the Montlake Cut.

Five Questions with Charlie Worsham
Country newcomer Charlie Worsham has been hard at work on his debut album, Rubberband, which is set for release Aug. 20. The Mississippi native, who is known for his banjo skills and signature orange chucks, is eager for fans to finally hear the project.
His debut single, "Could It Be" is cruising up the charts and is currently Top 20 at country radio. Worsham, who opened for Taylor Swift on her Speak Now Tour, is also gearing up to hit the road with Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley for several dates on their Locked & Reloaded Tour.
We recently had a chance to chat with Worsham about his debut album, his traditional country roots and working with legends like Vince Gill and Marty Stuart. See what he had to say below:
Five Questions with Charlie Worsham
CMIL: Describe your feelings leading up to the album release – are you nervous, excited, anxious?
CW: It feels like my first child is being born. I don't know what it would be like to be either an astronaut or a family member of an astronaut back in the sixties with NASA counting down to the rocket launch, but I imagine on a smaller scale it's kind of the same myriad of emotions. There's a lot of excitement, there's some nerves, there's some hurry up and wait, a little bit of exhaustion. And then feeling just a whole lot of love from my family, friends, my hometown, peers that I work with, and the greater country music community. It's definitely a first for me in every sense of the word.
CMIL: You co-wrote every song on the album – that's a pretty big feat! Was that something you set out to do, or did it just sort of happen that way?
CW: It is [a big feat]. The crazy thing about this record is I didn't necessarily set out to be a writer on every song. With some songs on the album, I had more of a hand in than others. I was really just blessed to be in the room. I wrote the album with a wide of writers in the Nashville community. They've all just got so much talent and they make me feel humble and jealous and inspired all at the same time, so I'm really proud to have the collection to put out there with their names next to mine.
CMIL: As a studio musician, you're obviously a talented with a variety of instruments, but what we love most is watching you play the banjo. How did you pick that up?
CW: It's kind of funny. I didn't plan on wanting to play the banjo. I wanted a guitar, big time. My mom was worried that I would have earrings, long hair, and tattoos – which I have now – if I picked up a guitar. It's the single best reason – I think it's the best reason why I actually play music for a living now and didn't just lead it to a hobby or anything because the banjo has a right hand technique that helped me learn to be more disciplined in practicing early on. The turning point was a trip to Opryland. I went up to Nashville wanting a guitar and then we saw Mike Snider play at Opryland and I left there wanting a banjo. It just looked cool and sounded cool.
CMIL: What was it like working with Marty Stuart and Vince Gill?
CW: Vince and Marty were two separate experienced that were equally humbling. They both took time to encourage me and tell me stories about when they first started out. Their encouragement is something that I carry with me on almost a daily basis because I'm traveling and playing every kind of gig imaginable, but to know that there's a line and trails were paved and I'm traveling down the same road my heroes paved. I don't know how much paving I'm doing, but I'm certainly walking the same path. It's a really humbling thing because all I wanted to do was be Vince Gill when I grew up but with Marty Stuart's hair and a rhinestone jacket.
CMIL: You're making real, traditional country music cool again. Is it important to you to maintain that traditional country sound in your music?
CW: The one thing I think is pretty universal whether it's Kacey Musgraves, Florida Georgia Line, or anyone in between is I think everyone is being true to who they are. It's something that you can't escape. That's the great thing about this format. If you're going to make it, you're going to have to make it being what it is you are because the audience is a lot smarter than they're sometimes getting credit for. They know when someone's trying to pull the wool over their eyes. It is intentional, but it's also sort of inescapable for me to emulate the artists that are my heroes from the 90s. I don't know if that's going to help me or hurt me in the long run but it's certainly what I love. Sometimes I worry that I don't have enough rock and roll on my record. It's like being a ballplayer who doesn't use steroids, but I'd rather fly or crash the plane with my hands on the wheel regardless of the outcome than fly it sitting in the back.
Fans can keep up with Charlie on charlieworsham.com, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. His album Rubberband is available for pre-order on iTunes and comes with an instant download of his chart-climbing single "Could It Be."

A Long-Term Prospective Observational Safety Study of the Incidence of and Risk Factors for Fibrosing Colonopathy in US Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Treated with Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy: A Harmonized Protocol Across Sponsors
The purpose of this study is to determine the number of patients affected by FC and to learn more about what might cause it, including use of pancreatic enzyme supplements. Participants of this study have been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis with the possibility of having a condition called Fibrosing Colonopathy (FC). FC is a health problem that affects the colon and is seen almost only in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. FC is a painful swelling, shortening, and fibrosis (scarring) of the colon. Patients with FC may have abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and in some cases, partial or complete blockage of their colon. The information collected will include all medical information associated with suspected cases of FC, including information about medicines that have been prescribed and the results of any tests that were performed to diagnose this condition. This information will be entered into a secure database. This information will be shared with the Study researchers, governmental agencies, the companies making the pancreatic enzyme supplements and other people working on the study.

BOULDER - Bernard Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as Colorado rolled past Iowa State 33-16 Saturday in the Buffs' home finale.
Jackson was 13 of 19 for 200 yards. He also ran for 69 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown sneak in the second quarter. Colorado's Mell Holliday rushed for a career-high 126 yards in his final home game.
The Buffaloes (2-9, 2-5 Big 12) entered the contest with the worst scoring offense (14.9) in the Big 12, but scored on their first seven possessions. Colorado had a season-high 463 yards of offense.
Mason Crosby hit four field goals to become the first Colorado player to eclipse the 300-point mark in his career. It's the fourth time he's kicked four in a game and second against Iowa State.
Crosby attempted a 65-yard field goal with 5:22 left, and while the kick was on target, it came up just a yard short.
Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer's 21-yard touchdown pass to Jon Davis in the first quarter was the 40th of his career, tying Meyer for the school record with Todd Bandhauer (1995-98).
Meyer finished 17 of 28 for 192 yards. He also caught a 19-yard pass from receiver Austin Flynn on a trick play.
Colorado receiver Patrick Williams' 39-yard catch in the third quarter was his first career touchdown.
Iowa State opened the game with a patchwork offense due to injuries. The Cyclones were without their top two running backs - Stevie Hicks (right knee) and Jason Scales (sprained left ankle) - and receiver Todd Blythe (virus).
Fullback Ryan Kock was moved to tailback and set a career-high for yards (38) on the opening drive. He finished with 82 yards on 18 carries and scored on a 5-yard run late in the fourth quarter.
Davis' 21-yard touchdown grab was his first catch since suffering a collapsed lung against Kansas State on Oct. 28. He missed last weekend's game against Kansas.
The Buffaloes came out throwing deep on the opening drive. Alvin Barnett hauled in a 38-yard catch to open the game and had a 26-yard touchdown grab three plays later.
Before the game, Colorado honored 23 seniors playing their final game at Folsom Field.

You have to hand it to Harvey Weinstein -- because if you don't, he will snatch it right out of your fist. Weinstein orchestrated a masterful sell-the-sizzle prerelease campaign for Shane Salerno's documentary Salinger, touting the movie's explosive secrets and forcing critics who got an early look at it to sign non-disclosure agreements lest its bombshells drop on an unsuspecting public. But once critics were finally allowed to weigh in, it turned out the movie had been withheld from the press for a far more mundane reason: It stunk. In the New York Times, A.O. Scott said it was "less a work of cinema than the byproduct of its own publicity campaign," and Slate's Julia Turner called it "the single worst movie I've ever seen in my life. It's almost worth seeing to see how bad something can be." ("Almost worth seeing!" -- Slate.) Criticwire's C+ average is generous next to the movie's 40 on Metacritic and its 34 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
But Weinstein wasn't licked yet. He paid for Salerno to recut the film, addressing some of critics' complaints and adding new footage, and got Esquire to lend Salerno a soapbox to plead his case at length:
[T]here have been several reviews of the film that have said, more or less, "Leave Salinger alone. He wrote beautiful books. That's all we ever want to know about him." And yet I am, in a way, making a very Salingeresque gesture: reading past the phony facade to the core actuality underneath: my goal is not to "bring Salinger down" but to show the horrific springs of art and the endless cost of war.
The latest salvo in the Salinger siege is the release of previously unpublished letters in which Salinger, contrary to the widely held belief that he held the movies in disregard, proclaims his guarded enthusiasm for "certain kinds of film." Responding to an inquiry from Danish director Henning Carlsen (which Salinger spells "Carlson") about adapting The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger wrote:
It isn't true, at all, that I "hate" or dislike all films, and it's always a more than a little offputting, not to say irritating, to hear that I do.... What would be, I think, perfectly accurate to say is that I have no professional interest whatever in films or stage plays.... The only theater I want to write for is the little marvellous one inside the individual reader's mind.
This might not seem like big news; no one but a confirmed crank would write off an entire artistic medium. But it matters a lot in the context of Weinstein's next move, which is a fictional version of Salinger's life, with a screenplay written by Salerno. We can't have the director of a discredited documentary writing a movie about a man who hated movies, now can we? I haven't seen Salinger, and to be honest, I'm not eager to. It can't possibly be as engrossing as watching Harvey Weinstein spin.

Local businessman receives governor's ImPAct award
A Susquehanna County businessman was recognized last week by Governor Tom Corbett at the inaugural ImPAct Awards.
Kingsley-based business owner Adam Diaz received the Northern Tier Entrepreneur Award. Diaz was also nominated in the Jobs First category.
Diaz said the recognition was both a "big deal" and "humbling."
"You don't think anyone would recognize you for something you enjoy doing," he said. "Buying businesses and making them run is something I enjoy doing. It's nothing I need a pat on the back for."
But, he said, it's really his employees that deserve the recognition.
"It's not me, it is the employees that make things work. Everyone else (at Diaz Companies) is the reason we received the award – without them, we wouldn't have gotten it," Diaz said.
"I very much appreciate the honor, but for me, I just like to go to work. I like to see other people do well for themselves – I like to be a part of that," he said.
Diaz was among other ImPAct Award recipients and nominees at a banquet held Thursday in Hershey where Pennsylvania companies and entrepreneurs were recognized for their contributions to the state's economy.
The Corbett administration created the awards initiative to honor businesses in Pennsylvania that are creating job opportunities and contributing to the state's economy.
"Today we honor the men and women who spend countless hours providing the leadership and care that it takes to run a successful business," Corbett said at the ceremony. "You are the champions partnering with us to put Pennsylvania on the path of growth."
Fifty companies from throughout the state were recognized in five categories: Jobs First, Community Impact, Small Business Impact, Entrepreneurial Impact and Export Impact. The awardees were chosen by an independent judging panel selected by the state's partners, Team Pennsylvania Foundation and Journal Multimedia.
Nominations for each award were provided by the state's regional economic development partners – the Partnerships for Regional Economic Performance (PREP) network. Each of the 10 PREP regions was eligible to submit up to five nominations per category. A total of 250 nominations were received.
The Corbett administration developed the PREP network to regionalize and coordinate local economic development services to businesses and entrepreneurs.
The Department of Community and Economic Development provides grants through PREP to local economic development service providers that provide assistance and other resources to support local business expansion and growth.
The awards were sponsored by the state's private sector partner, Team Pennsylvania Foundation.
Northern Tier Governor's ImPAct Award recipients recognized were:
Community Impact Award - Williams Oil Company, Inc., Towanda
Entrepreneur Impact Award – Diaz Companies, Kingsley
Export Impact Award - Cummings Lumber Company, Inc., Troy
Jobs First Award - The Keane Group, Mansfield
Small Business Impact Award - Keystone North, Inc., Mansfield
Other Northern Tier nominees from the local area were:
Community Impact Award: Cabot Oil & Gas (Montrose); Chesapeake Energy (Towanda); Procter & Gamble Paper Products (Mehoopany); Williams Companies (Towanda).
Jobs First Impact Award: Diaz Companies (Kingsley); Southwestern Energy Co. (Tunkhannock); Williams Companies (Tunkhannock).
Small Business Impact Award: BX3 Inc. (Montrose); Golis Machines (Montrose); Twig's Café (Tunkhannock).

It's great that OP was able to recognize the driver the second time he encountered him. I probably wouldn't.
Filtering by pedal cyclists is not illegal in many states. And in OR other relevant statutes are not enforced for pedal cyclists due to the legal right of cyclists to share lanes.
Nonsense. I've been filtering at speed for decades.Quote:
Filtering has nothing to do with the safe passing/sharing definition since it is not done at speed.
Hopefully the local media publicizes the case. That is what will have an impact on the rest of the drivers on the road.
At least here in NY, there is no statute defining what is and is not sharable. In actual practice, my city has sharrows (which define lane sharing) on lanes as narrow as 11 feet.
Besides, the OP is in an different country--Canada.
Sharrows are designed to be used in lanes too narrow to share. I suspect that NY is misusing sharrows.
I was responding to the guy in PDX, but the physical parameters still apply in Canada, unless physics and math are different up there.
I do agree that it would be nice if the 14 feet standard got specified in actual law rather than just it letting hang by case law and AASHTO.
Did you know there is a minimum recommended standard for MUP width as well? 12 feet wide - how many NY MUPs are at least 12 feet wide?
AASHTO is often used in law suites when cities and states do not meet their standards. Cities and states ignore them at significant risk.
If this driver is affluent.
He will get a different sort of justice.
He will have a lawyer-and he'll claim you were harassing him-scared him etc
Momma will back him
On the second episode-and witnesses-other than momma?
Yeah he will get off the hook-or plead to something minor.
If he isn't affluent-you will get justice.
As an example of the 14 feet safe shared lane is the Florida Department of Transportation's Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards.
Discussed on page 19:
Sorry, but I do not have more time to look up more examples. I have seen Canadians also claim the 14 feet as the needed width for safe shared passing.Quote:
Since the recommended minimum clearance for
passing a bicyclist (at moderate speed) is 3 feet
(Florida Driver's Handbook) and the total width of
larger motor vehicles (with extending mirrors) is
commonly 8 feet or more, a lane with less than 14
feet of usable width is usually too narrow for motor
traffic to pass. Consequently, where restricted conditions
prevent inclusion of bicycle lanes or paved
shoulders on laned urban roadways, the Florida
Department of Transportation's Manual of Uniform
Minimum Standards recommends an outside lane
width of 14 feet as the "minimum width that will
allow passenger cars to safely pass bicyclists within
a single lane," i.e., without the need for passing
motorists to use part of the next lane ("Curb Lanes,"
see chapter 9 at http://www.dot.state.fl.us/rddesign/...enbook/FGB.htm).
A person must have a seriously wide ass to need a 14' lane in order to filter through.
blakcloud, please keep us posted. I'm sorry this happened, but I'm glad things progressed towards justice.
he can be ticketed for that plate holder too!
assault in Massachusetts does not have to include contact, it can be verbal that causes fear, an actual threat is something completely different. if you are touched, that's battery. the two together is assault and battery. just thought I'd throw that out there, I wasn't aware until I met with my local police to discuss how my boss flipped his lid one day

A sunny trek among the guanacos
Patagonia Tour, End of the World
We drive to a beautiful green/blue lake with flamingos, and I see one fly, something you don't see in the zoo. Then we go to a very salty lake (I tasted it) that supports a primitive life form that looks like brains washed up on shore. Actually, the whole lake looked like a big green margarita and the crashing white caps like salt around it.
At another wild waterfall, it starts to rain quite a lot. Javier says he had planned to do a trek there but suggests we go elsewhere in hopes of rain stopping. We do, and sure enough, the sun comes out. So we agree on a 3-hour trek to see cave paintings instead of visiting a "beautiful farm." Caitlin is not happy about the idea of a 3-hour walk, but the rest of us do not want to drive around anymore. Caitlin likes to be on a horse instead of her feet.
We put our lunches in backpacks, and Javier leads us off among golden hills. It is an easy walk across the steppes, dotted with grazing guanacos. We have lunch amid giant sedimentary boulders. Purple thistles and margaritas grow all around, attracting butterflies and bees. The sun is warm, all is lovely.
The rock paintings, another thing I find highly overrated, are uphill, but the views are beautiful; guanacos, munching everywhere, paying us no heed. In some spots the red grasses against the pale green are breathtaking.
We have to cross a ridge and go down the other side, quite steep and gravelly for a bit. Javier gives me one of this trekking sticks but Caitlin says she doesn't want one until her feet are slipping on the gravel and Chris and Javier have to rescue her. After that she grows more cheerful. The plains are rather like an elephant graveyard, she says, because guanaco skeletons dot the fields, picked clean by both the pumas that brought them down and the birds. Bones are bleached white, and skulls excellently preserved, right down to the teeth, rib cages sticking up. Javier says 40 to 50 percent of the offspring are lost to pumas.
Back in the van, my pedometer reads more than 13,000 steps! Javier says it was a trek of 8 or 9 kilometers.
Back at Eco Camp, it's 530 and dinner isn't until 730. Caitlin goes to sleep and Chris closes his eyes, but I go for a walk. The clouds appear to be lifting over the towers – the rest of the area is sunny – so I cruise around the new part of the camp, the domes with private bathrooms, wood stoves and little wooden decks. Celine, who had one, said you are still cold in the morning because you would have to stoke the fire in the middle of the night. But the bathroom being right there is huge, she agrees!
Chris is up by now, so he gets a beer and we bring our 2 chairs outside the dome to see whether the clouds will lift off the towers. Ronaldo and Tertius are up too, watching for them. But there is actually so much in the park that seeing the famous towers no longer seems like such a big deal.
At dinner, Celine says she only made it through 3 hours of the trek because of her bronchitis, and she went back down with a passing returning group. They had said they couldn't see anything at the top anyway.
Dinner is a lamb bbq, with roasted peppers for Caitlin – not that she needed it with the huge salad/side dish buffet.
All the couples and Caitlin take their pictures together, and we all say how wonderful (and lucky) it is that we all got along and found each other interesting. We invite each other to visit and exchange email addresses.
Javier, our mother hen, promises he will wake us up at 530 for 6 am breakfast (we have no alarm). Chris said the showers had been so-so, ok for him because he likes lukewarm water. But others said it was touch and go with the hot water, which depends on solar panels.

The Mariners are, once again, poised to be in the seller's role as the trade-deadline season rapidly approaches.
In fact, you could say it officially arrived Tuesday when the Cubs sent starting pitcher Scott Feldman to the Orioles. It was the baseball equivalent of "Gentleman, start your engines."
Yet Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik isn't quite ready to commit to the rampant housecleaning that many see coming in Seattle. Not with nearly a month until the deadline for teams to make a deal without necessitating waivers.
"I think it's premature,'' he said Thursday in Texas. "More than anything else, I'd like to get a healthy team on the field and see where it takes us. It's been a strange year with all those setbacks physically."
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska
Most Read Stories
The Mariners have indeed had their share of injuries, starting with prospective starting pitcher Erasmo Ramirez in spring training, and including the long-term loss of outfielder Franklin Gutierrez and relievers Stephen Pryor and Josh Kinney, plus disabled-list stints for outfielders Michael Saunders and Michael Morse and first baseman Justin Smoak.
But the bottom line is the Mariners have dug themselves such a deep hole that only a major surge would put them among the legitimate contenders by July 31. Such is the dynamic in baseball that teams must essentially decide with two months to go in the season whether or not to disband.
The insertion of a second wild-card team last season makes that assessment even more difficult. Through Friday's games, 21 of 30 MLB teams found themselves within 6½ games of either their division lead or a wild-card berth.
That creates a feeding frenzy for scraps of talent from the handful of teams, like the Cubs, who are definitively out of it. But it also creates the allure of getting back in the race for teams like the Mariners, who reached the weekend a pretty hopeless 12½ games out of first in the AL West, but 9½ games out in the wild card.
"I think everyone has to evaluate where they're at exactly, and where they're trying to head,'' Zduriencik said. "Who knows? You can get on a winning streak, you never know, and put yourself in a really good position. That's first and foremost what we would like to do, put ourselves in a position where we can just compete and have a healthy club and see what happens."
Because most trades don't happen until the final week of July anyway (with notable exceptions, such as Zduriencik's Cliff Lee trade with Texas on July 9, 2010), there's still time for the M's to see what happens in the next three weeks plus.
Zduriencik said GMs are in the feeling-out stage, with lots of phone calls to lay the groundwork for potential trades. The Mariners aren't the only team trying to determine the reality of their situation.
"It's just this time of year,'' he said. "That's exactly what happens."
No doubt teams are calling the Mariners to inquire about many of their veteran players. With his hitting surge, Raul Ibanez is certain to be coveted by teams looking for an offensive burst. Same with Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse, particularly if the latter shows he's over the quadriceps strain that has sidelined him.
All three are in the final year of their contracts. The return on so-called "rent-a-players" tends to be suppressed, unless a team has a dire need or a bidding war ensues. In the case of Morales, in particular, the Mariners would need to determine whether the package they get would be better than a potential draft pick at the end of the first round next year if they make Morales a qualifying offer and he signs elsewhere.
The Mariners player in the most demand might well turn out to be left-handed reliever Oliver Perez, who has a reasonable salary, dazzling numbers and has shown that he could even be an option as a closer.
Shortstop Brendan Ryan, displaced by rookie Brad Miller, could be appealing to a team looking for a defensive boost. The Mariners have three veteran starters in Joe Saunders, Aaron Harang and Jeremy Bonderman who could warrant interest.
"In the end, I'm not in the mood to give anyone away,'' Zduriencik said. "What I'd like to do is get healthy and see how this goes. Who knows what will happen in the next 30 days?"

Lake-area athletes behaved themselves on the field
CHAPEL HILL – Eight Lake Norman-area high schools were ejection-free during the 2012-13 school year and will receive an award from the N.C. High School Athletic Association.
Hough High, North Mecklenburg, East Gaston, Lincoln Charter, North Lincoln, West Mecklenburg, Christ the King and Pine Lake Prep were among the 128 schools (of the NCHSAA's 396 member schools) that didn't have an athlete ejected for unsportsmanlike acts such as fighting, taunting, profanity, obscene gestures or disrespectfully addressing or contacting officials.
Each ejection-free school will receive a certificate of recognition at the NCHSAA regional meetings next month.
Davidson College stumbles in football season opener
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Host Georgetown University ruined Davidson College coach Paul Nichols' debut by beating the Wildcats 42-6 in the football season opener Sept. 7.
Tight end Reese Williams eight passes for 62 yards and a touchdown to lead Davidson's offense. Jonathan Carkhuff was 22-of-42 passing for 214 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Defensive back Myles Atkins led the defense with nine tackles (five solo) and an interception.
"As I told our guys in the locker room, our goal is unchanged, which is to win the Pioneer Football League championship," Nichols said. "Everything we do in our program is geared toward that. This game was a big game because it was our first game and because it was our next game, but our goals for this season remain the same."
Davidson will play its home opener at 7 p.m. Sept. 14 against Lenoir-Rhyne (0-1).
Charter kicker sets record
HUNTERSVILLE – Lake Norman Charter kicker J.C. Brooks set a school record with a 44-yard field goal in the 51-6 victory against Pine Lake Prep on Sept. 6.
Brooks, a junior, also had five extra point kicks and booted five kickoffs into the end zone.

Pregnancy Weight Gain: My 80/20 RuleErin Loechner
Oh, pregnancy weight gain. This is a tricky topic to write about, because, in my non-doctor, non-even-remotely-medically-minded opinion, there is no such thing as normal pregnancy weight gain. Our bodies are crazy different and full of weird factors that determine whether pregnancy will make us feel a tad extra doughy around the edges or beached whale-massive. (The scientific description, I'm sure.)
Me? According to the charts, I'm on the high end of what I should be gaining, teetering on the edge of "normal." And here is what I'd like to say to those charts:
Dear "Normal Healthy Pregnancy Weight Chart":
I understand that I have gained more than you'd like me to. I understand that you have a very strict policy against Skittles and french fries, and I also understand that you think the 20+ pounds I've gained in 30 weeks is "excessive."
Yet, dear Charts, I think I'm fooling you. Yes, I have a handful of Skittles three times a week, and yes, I am indulging in an order of french fries near-weekly (because I love them and I hate you). Yet those 20 pounds you're speaking of? I gained those the healthy way. Scout's honor.
Other than the aforementioned treats above, my diet consists of lean meats, proteins, fruits, veggies, good carbs and tons of water. I like to call this the 80/20 rule: Eat super healthy 80% of the time, and the other 20%? Do what you will.
I'm sure your charts don't account for this 20%, and I'm sure you see this as a weakened self-control that can only be rectified by a good, quality lecture from a doctor. Yet can I tell you a secret?
I feel fantastic. I know you don't agree, but I'm going to listen to myself on this one. Because although I have a few more pounds on my body, I'm eating better than I ever have in my life. And you know what else? I take daily walks. Me! The girl who led such a sedentary life pre-baby that I'm not quite sure she had ever walked to the end of the street, let alone a 1.5 mile loop around the neighborhood each evening.
You should be proud of me, Chart. You should pat me on the back and say "Well done! It doesn't matter how much weight you gain; it's how you're taking care of your body. It's a mix of nutrition and exercise, and you're doing the right things. Treat yourself every now and then; you deserve it."
Instead, you're chastising me with a little green dot that keeps peaking higher out of the "normal" range for my body. And to that? I think you are mean. I think you're mean and ugly and I hope that when you have babies, you will creep even further out of the normal zone and wonder why.
And then you'll see what the rest of us pregnant mamas see: that normalcy? It just doesn't exist.
Erin Loechner, More Than a Green Dot

CA Technologies Powers CBN Cloud Services in Indonesia; CBN Cloud Provides Powerful and Flexible Cloud Services With the CA AppLogic Cloud Platform
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) JAKARTA, Indonesia -- CA (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that CBN, a leading Internet and communications services provider (CSP) in Indonesia, has selected the CA AppLogic cloud platform to establish CBN Cloud, designed to offer extensive cloud computing services for its corporate and retail customers.
CBN Indonesia is in a highly competitive market, where it owns and operates 300 km of fiber optic connecting over 200 buildings, offices, apartments and shopping plazas in Jakarta as part of its traditional Internet services offerings. With CBN Cloud, the company envisioned providing cloud computing services for corporate and retail customers as a new business model. The CA AppLogic solution will enable CBN Cloud to stay ahead of the technology curve by providing a comprehensive suite of cloud computing services.
CBN Cloud is built on the CA AppLogic cloud platform that enables users to develop a virtual business service consisting of the application and the supporting infrastructure, to provide a wide range of Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) offerings.
CBN selected the CA AppLogic platform over competing products based on its differentiated features, which include the ability to package application software with infrastructure, rapid deployment and fully automated provisioning -- as well as CA Technologies flexible licensing and exceptional service.
"We chose CA AppLogic due to its market differentiation and ease of use. We are particularly impressed by the rapid deployment to the cloud and flexibility. We also appreciate the improved application performance and reliability after switching to the platform," said Tony Hairman, Chief Technology Officer, CBN. "We were able to implement the solution independently without a need for a third party system integrator. CA Technologies demonstrated a keen understanding of our business needs -- which include the right services, the right licensing terms, and the right long-term roadmap -- in addition to the right technology." The CA AppLogic platform enables an organization to establish a cloud computing environment in mere hours, including the features needed to operate and manage the cloud. Before implementing CA AppLogic, the hardware and software integration, and installation for a new customer would require a lead time between five days and two weeks. With CA AppLogic, CBN Cloud estimates they could set up a new customer between five and 30 minutes.
Using CA AppLogic, CBN Cloud can integrate, monitor and scale applications and infrastructure with just a GUI allowing CBN Cloud to scale quickly without changing complex code or architecture.
In turn, many of the benefits of CA AppLogic created additional value and savings for CBN Cloud customers, which hail from various industries--from financial services, to online and traditional news publications and e-commerce sites. They stand to benefit from cost reduction in equipment requirements, a pay-as-you-use billing scheme, convenience and rapid scalability through virtualization.
"A cloud deployment may seem like a daunting task for an enterprise or CSP to embark on, but the process can be optimized with the right solution," said Manivannan Govindan, Director, Solution Strategy, CA Technologies, Asia South. "This project is a prime example of how CBN Cloud recognizes CA Technologies to be an ideal partner to accelerate and transform their cloud offerings in a rapid and simple manner, while controlling costs and ensuring the compliance of their IT operations." The CBN Cloud service provides ready-to-use hardware, software and infrastructure on a monthly billing structure, with any additional costs based only incremental capacity requirements. The flexible and automated nature of virtualization technologies allow for self-provisioning, easier management for organizations and service providers alike in today's world of dynamic IT transformation.
About CBN CBN is a well-recognized communication operator in Indonesia. The company started its business as an Internet Service Provider in 1995, and aggressively expanded its network to provide a full range of services over enterprise and individual market.

Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney may warn that he's prepared to hike interest rates, but July's inflation figures provide another counterpoint to his hawkish tone.
Annual inflation slowed to 1.3 percent in July from 1.5 percent in June, Statistics Canada reported on Friday.
Economists were expecting annual inflation to come in at 1.5 percent.
More importantly, the Bank of Canada's annual core index, which strips out eight volatile items, such as food and energy, fell to 1.7 percent, down from a 2-percent gain in June. That's below the central bank's mid-point inflation target of 2 percent.
Many economists now expect third-quarter inflation to come in below the central bank's 1.9-percent forecast.
And July's slowdown in annual inflation isn't simply a one-off event. The three-month and six-month annualized core inflation figures are sitting at negative 0.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively.
The June to July drop in prices marks the third consecutive month of declining prices. The last time the Canadian economy posted three consecutive months of falling prices was during the most recent recession, according to economists at Capital Economics.
"With inflation remaining subdued and the downside risks to global economic growth threatening even lower inflation, interest rates are likely to remain low for a long time yet," says Capital Economics economist David Madani.
He expects other figures to continue to keep inflation in check and further push the Bank of Canada to the sidelines.
"Economic growth over the second half of this year and next is likely to slow, especially now that Canada's housing market is self-correcting," Madani says. "With unemployment likely to rise as a result, inflation will remain muted this year and next."
The July inflation figures are likely to temper investors' expectations for a rate hike.
"Just when markets swung to pricing in rate hikes by the Bank of Canada, July's inflation data are one strike against fears that Carney and Co. will pull the level on rates any time soon," says CIBC economist Emanuella Enenajor.
The weaker-than-expected inflation figures come after a report last week showed the Canadian economy shed 30,400 jobs in July, after two months of modest employment gains of about 7,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.3 percent in July from 7.2 percent in June -- the same level it was last year and marking the first time in more than two years that the jobless rate did not dip below its year-ago level.
The combination of a potentially weakening labour market and slowing inflation means the Bank of Canada has little reason to hike rates -- even though Carney recently gave an interview in which he said the economy was "almost back at full capacity" and the country's financial system was "firing on all cylinders."
In July the Bank of Canada maintained its benchmark interest rate at one percent for the 15th consecutive time and lowered its growth forecasts.
It now expects the economy to grow 2.1 percent in 2012, below its previous forecast of 2.4 percent. It also lowered its forecast for 2013 to 2.3 percent from 2.4 percent.

A $5 million gift from Edward Fox has created the Herman Robert Fox Deanship at the NYU College of Dentistry in memory of Mr. Fox's father, Dr. Herman Robert Fox, Class of 1926. This is only the second endowed deanship at a dental school in the United States.
This magnificent gift comes at a propitious moment, said Dr. Richard I. Vogel, former Interim Dean of the College. In addition to paying tribute to his father's memory in an especially meaningful way, Mr. Fox's gift testifies to his confidence in the College's ability to build on the major accomplishments sustained over the past several years and in the College's future under the leadership of Dr. Charles N. Bertolami, who became the Herman Robert Fox Dean on September 1. This gift will accelerate NYUCD's momentum toward becoming the dental institution with the greatest impact globally on the health of society. We thank Mr. Fox for his tremendous generosity.
Edward Fox received an MBA degree from NYU's Stern School of Business. He was formerly Dean of the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and Chairman of SLM Corp (Sallie Mae), the Student Loan Marketing Association. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of the American Ballet Theatre.
I have been uniformly impressed with the progress and quality of NYUCD in recent years, said Mr. Fox, and I'm excited by its prospects for the future. When I made the decision to honor my father's memory, and spoke to my mother about her wishes, we agreed that it was altogether appropriate that my father's name be linked with his alma mater. It is our hope that this gift will provide the resources to enable NYUCD to become extraordinary.

OP said ALL DAY.
I heard Hoiberg got stuck in traffic and may not even make it to the game tonight.
OP doesn't sound like a troll.........maybe it's a case of autocorrect fail. The player actually texted "Kane has been dunking it up all day!"

The feedback has ranged from "Good Looking Loser is an 'AFC'" to "I love this video! ...you make it seem so simple and it makes you realize that there is nothing magical going on!"
This is not unlike the feedback for everything on this site, although the majority of people have a pretty good idea that we aren't needing to bullshit anyone. A minority of people absolutely despise me.
One of main conclusions that I hoped people reached was- "This isn't so hard" or "That was fairly simple."
Perhaps the videos even struck you to the point where you were fairly unimpressed. If that is case, then I've done my job. And I SWEAR TO GOD, that's half the point, it's not complicated.
As mentioned from the day I created the homepage for Good Looking Loser-
The most basic stuff is "the best" because it's easy to learn and easy to execute.
One of the biggest failures of self-improvement in general is the tendency for the authorities to complicate things and get you to analyze things that aren't happening or basically insigificant.
Now, there will probably be more "dynamic" videos later, but frankly if your goal is getting a number during the day- that is all you need to do. If you are trying to take it a step or three further, obviously further escalation is needed.
If you thought that was unimpressive, wait until you see my video for "average guy game," that will put you to sleep.
Success in this game is the pussy you get, not laughter and attention you get- something I had to partly unlearn.
Aggressive means a lot of things.
If a guy is able to establish that a girl likes him a lot and takes her SOLID number in 60 seconds, I'd say that's aggressive.
If a guy meets a girl and take her elsewhere in 4 or 5 minutes, that's aggressive too.
If a guy meets a girl and touches her over-and-over for the next 45 minutes without taking her anywhere (I did that about 10 times), that's not being aggressive. It's not non-aggressive- but it's not overly aggressive.
Keep in mind though, aggressive is relative, a lot of guys think kissing on the first date is aggressive. If you are so much as touching a girl 1-2 times in your daytime interaction, you are being fairly aggressive compared to 90% of the guys that she's used to meeting.
I don't want people to make basics of this shit (game) too complicated. That will only result in less pussy, more confusion and more masturbation.
For the guys that may have polluted minds from the seduction community (I was one), I'm exactly not sure how you think this works but I'm pretty sure it's not as hard as you think.
In fact, I know it's not.
There will be more dynamic stuff later, but whether it's a video, a post, or any advice -- If you come away with "wow I can probably do that too," rather than "damn, I could never do that," you are way better off.
Here's an extension to what I said above-
You've thought about it long enough.
Hey Niko-- thank you very much
here, check this out and see if it answers your questions (I think it will)-
Hey dude. I'm good looking and not too much bad. Just fucking shy with gorgeous girl. And that's the ones I want!
You are impressive man. easy. Would like to see laugh and say easyyyyy at the end of your video. lol
but. shit. what I wanted to say........ Yes! Maybe you should do a video for after the moment you've got the number. Sometimes I get some numbers, but dn't use it. I tell me. ah she was not so pretty... But actually, I'm scared. I dn't know where she would like to go. If I'll be ok. What to tell her to fuck her?... maybe a video for the first date. sounds good no?
peace my friend!
yeah Style and Mystery taught me in The Game that you should never approach a girl from directly behind or directly in front cos they'll instantly reject you. haha what a bunch of fuckin bullshit! I can't believe i ever thought that shit was for real!
yeah unless you are taking them somewhere, I don't suggest it. 4-8 minutes is usually enough to get a girl excited about hanging out and leaving some "mystery" in the process. that's not to say that if I talked to both of these girls for 12-15minutes that it would have killed that, I just prefer in-and-out, less pressure in the beginning and equally effective.
That's not to suggest that 1-3minutes is enough usually, the girls in both videos liked me right away, or quickly... so I could be in-and-out
I'd say that a lot of the PUA "guru" crap out there has conditioned a lot of guys into thinking it's more complex than it needs to be, like if you don't follow a certain script perfectly you'll fail horrible. Sometimes they make it seem like talking to a chick is like trying to lure a timid deer, one sudden movement and she'll bolt!
I remember even reading one PUA guy (can't remember who, doesn't matter) saying something along the lines of you should always approach women from a certain direction for some reason... wtf?
Thanks Chris, the street fight example is a good one...
Part 2 of it is- most people (myself included) are unimpressed by most stuff I watch/see on TV. we've already seen it before... special effects in movie desensitize us further. Seeing stuff in person is way more impressive.
But that's besides the point, [these first 2 videos anyway] aren't supposed to be impressive/unimpressive/entertaining/etc... they are supposed to be "do this, not much thinking, it works"
yo thanks for catching that Steve
I think the reason why a minority of people were "unimpressed" is because they have this image in their mind that picking up chicks shuold be this smooth/magical/exciting/fun interaction where the guy says all the right shit perfect vibe no hint of tension/ackwardness (this is real life) etc. This type of thinking is most likely highly influenced by movies and the "dude" they want to be portrayed as in real life wen doing this stuff.
Perfect example: People imagine street fights rumbles and 1v1s to be this clean coreogrpahed flawless victory where one guy punches the other guy ducks and then he uppercuts and knocks him out etc. But fights are always messy and anything could happen because its real fukn life. not a movie. not a song. not a fantasy etc. The number of women Chris has fucked speaks for itself.
Consider this, and I didn't mention it-
If I'm just grabbing a phone number...
Once I can tell a girl is into me (responds positively to both physical + verbal) I-----
1) Drop all game, jump straight to small talk
2) Start thinking about ending the interaction
(that's when I'm getting #, not trying to take a girl somewhere)
(okay I'm going to add it to the text above)
I swear I've had girls who have responded to my approaches as positively as in your vids and even overreactively positive. But somewhere along the line so far I've been making a mistake of some kind, which is probably being too aggressive. It just makes no sense that girls respond so, so positively right from the start and stay there when I touch them yet won't give me their number or come with me, depending on the game plan. They even say at the end "...but thank you very, very much!"
Thanks Gary-- some of the future videos may/will be more dynamic... but these are the most common situations (during the day, phone #). I suggest that people develop fundamentals-- looks, style, body language/social freedom.. the stuff that matters. before trying to show "flash" or special techniques
I'm more impressed at the fact that u said the game was so simple that it was unimpressive and u did ur job knowing that...Chris u are a true down to earth person who embraces everything about himself...that's what I got from this post....THANKS
I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!

(AP) — Believing it was his calling to reach out to people Jesus called "the least of these," Pastor Ricky Martin built a little church and opened a camp out back for some of society's most unwanted people:
With the help of some former inmates convicted of rape, sodomy, child sexual abuse and other crimes, Martin raised a gray-block chapel in a rural patch of central Alabama in 2010, and parked old campers and recreational vehicles behind it to house the men.
[...] having so many ex-convicts with similar criminal records in one place is a public safety threat, he said, and Martin doesn't

This is rapidly becoming circular. Can you accept that the term variable is used in two different ways, *whatever level of abstraction you may be talking about* ? Can you pin down, once and for all, which sense of the word variable you are using ? Clearly, Tutorial D uses the term "relvar" or "relation variable" in the sense of a 3GL kind of updateable variable. Are you using "relvar" in the sense of a mathematical, non-updateable variable ?

I have a customer who uses Zimbra. They are having this issue where the date in the calendar will not change on its own.
So if they leave Zimbra desktop on over night, it won't switch to the next day.
The issue is, that if they don't switch to the next day themselves, they won't get reminders for that day.
I'm sure I can fix this with a forced restart of Zimbra in the middle of the night, I just wanted to check if their was a better solution.
Thank You

Dance Moms Recap: Speed Dating Shenanigans
March 06, 2013 12:02 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Tonight on Dance Moms, the mothers have decided that Abby's constant anxiety stems not so much from the presence of bad dancers…but more from issues in her love life! And if there's any way to solve that problem, it's to send Abby to a speed dating event. This is not likely to end well.
The end of last week's episode was surprisingly cheery for, while Abby did have to deal with the death of her lil' doggy Broadway Baby, she also received a touching tribute from her dancers, not to mention an award-winning performance. But this is not the time to get complacent, for angry Abby is back and more terrifying than ever.
Cue the horror movie music…it's time for the PYRAMID. And this week, Paige, Kendall and Brooke are all on the bottom. Nia and Mackenzie share the middle row and Maddie is once again on top. Chloe, on the other hand, has no spot on the pyramid for now — she's still on probation. She does, however, receive plenty of chiding from Abby for not sticking with the choreography.
This week, Maddie and Mackenzie both get solos, and seeing as the two win at nearly every competition, it's a rather expected solo lineup. Nia and Kendall will join up for a duet, which has Holly nervous. After all, Nia's last duet didn't go so well, although, as I recall, Abby put most of the blame for that on Paige. There' also a group number featuring…drumroll please…a boy!! Maddie is particularly excited that a male will be joining the ranks of the ALDC this week. Based on what I've seen from several Tumblr pages, Maddie and Nick (the new male teammate) are best buds.
What has now been termed the "boy dance" is actually a whole lot like the plot of Les Miserables. You know, a dying mom asks some dude to take care of her poor daughter and the rest of the world ends up falling for the guy. The whole shebang. The name of the dance is "Your Dream Will Be My Dream." It seems like one with a lot of potential, mainly because the girls all want to work hard to impress Nick.
While watching all the girls fawn over Nick, the moms wonder if what Abby really needs is a little love in her life. Never mind the fact that Abby's been prancing around town and posing for pictures with her hand on the butt of a very attractive guy. The moms figure that, if they can find Abby a man, she'll spend less time griping about their daughters. Not a bad theory, except that if (or when) things don't go so well with the new boy toy, their daughters will likely see an even worse Abby.
The moms decide to surprise Abby with a limo to a fancy speed dating event, but it doesn't really seem like much of a surprise. After all, Abby's actually dressed in normal clothing, as opposed to the usual imitation of Sue Sylvester's infamous track suit. But Abby won't be making this big trip alone — the moms join in as some sort of perverse group of chaperones. That is, except Christi. Abby is mad about Christi and Chloe being late to practice and decides to punish her but leaving her behind.
I would have expected Abby to be a bit more annoyed about this whole speed dating thing, but either because she actually likes the idea or she's just had too much alcohol in the limo, she seems to be willing enough to go along with it. Although, we find out that what she likes about it is not so much the men themselves, but the ability she has to reject them. I guess Abby just likes auditioning people, be they dancers or potential lovers.
Despite her spending time at the speed dating event, Abby insists that she really misses her mystery man out in Cali. The moms think this guy is gay, which is why he's unwilling to trek across the country to visit his supposed lady love. The girls also find Abby's little speech amusing, with one anonymous dancer exclaiming, "I don't blame him," when Abby complains about her man not wanting to visit her.
Competition time! Nia's not feeling so hot, but Holly tries to downplay it. Jill, on the other hand, is milking the situation. When Abby suggests that Maddie step in for Nia's part, Jill decides that a solo for her little princess would be a much better idea. Nia, on the other hand, still really wants to perform, and while she appreciates Jill, uh, concern, she insists on dancing with Kendall.
Mackenzie does a great job with her solo, but needs to work a bit on stage presence. She's still relying too much on the cutesy thing, and while that might work for a little while longer, the judges will be less and less cool with it the older Mackenzie gets. Mac's big sis also does a great job with her solo, but really, is that in any way a surprise? What is a surprise is that the duet goes off without a hitch, which Jill attributes to all the practice time Kendall has had without Nia getting in the way.
The group routine is lovely and elicits plenty of oohs and ahs from the audience. But it's still not good enough! Especially when we learn that the group dance only took 2nd place, making the girls, in Abby's mind, the biggest losers on stage. The 2nd place atrocities continue, with both Mackenzie and Maddie failing to win their solo categories. The duet comes in 5th, which has Abby even more annoyed.
The post-awards scene isn't pretty, with Abby telling the girls that it's time they were knocked down a peg. And that they need tough love, because lord knows they don't get enough of that at the ALDC.

So working from home having my fridge next to me led me slowly to become one of the "eat more often in smaller quanitites" getting to the almost ridiculous place where I can eat a BIG meal and be hungry again in two hours (no exaggeration). I've been trying to get out of this system as it's just annoying having to eat/snack constantly but have been facing a problem - since I am used to eating small, even a normal sized meal instantly puts me in a food comma. And by the time I wake up from my nap, of course, I am hungry again. I've had days where I will literally eat, sleep, eat, sleep. Hnnngh...!
But I think I just made a discovery and wanted to talk to the nutrition/blood sugar/GI experts of BikeForums. Basically I noticed if I eat a "desert" after my big meal, I tend not to get a food comma. First case was a few days ago when I had a MASSIVE dim sum brunch with a few friends, fully expecting a coma after. But we ended stopping by a cafe and getting chocolate-ladden ice creams after aand... no coma! Next day was another massive lunch, but without any desert at the end. ZZzzzz. Second case, yesterday I had a decent breakfast (2 eggs, 1 whole wheat english muffins, slice of cheese, veggies etc.) and food comma killed me until noon. Today I did a repeat of that, BUT I tacked an extra half of an english muffin slatherd in jam and honey (side-by side, not mixed, i am not uncivilized), and lo-behold, no food comma, and I've been motivated and energized as heck on top of that!
My theory is that, since I eat "healthy" I tend to get lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains, with a bit of fat. All this stuff is great because it digests slowly. And it takes a lot of energy from a body to digest. So when I eat a lot, my body goes into a coma using up all its energy to convert all that. BUT if I tack on simple sugars (ice cream+chocolate, honey + jam) on top of that, it also gives my body instant-energy that offsets the energy lost to digestion = no coma! Aand while normally, after a sugar hike one would deplete it and crash, in my case by the time the sugar rush wears off the whole-grains, proteins and fats are starting to be digested and entering my bloodstream, thus giving me energy that offsets the crash. So it's basically a win-win.
So am I right on the mark here, or is my theory completely bonkers?

LTL pricing continues to show improvement
October 28, 2011
During the third quarter earnings season to date, it appears that less-than-truckload carriers (LTL) are in a good groove, when it comes to pricing.
The early returns so far are evident, with LTL players Saia, Old Dominion, and ABF Freight System reporting year-over-year per hundredweight price gains of 11.6 percent, 13.7 percent, and 15.9 percent, respectively.
In part, these pricing gains stem from General Rate Increase (GRI) announcements for non-contract freight made by LTL carriers during the second half of this year, with increases coming in around 6.9 percent on average.
These rate increases came at a time when the LTL market is getting tighter in terms of both fixed capacity and variable capacity, which make up the sector.
And since the fourth quarter of last year, anecdotal evidence has suggested that many LTL carriers are seeing rates recover and are turning their attention to rate increases, following a challenging 2009 for the sector in which LTL carriers to a degree were highly focused on driving volume gains with pricing power largely diminished.
Since that time, LTL carriers have also seen marked improvements in pricing, volume, and weight per shipment in recent months, according to analyst reports.
An LTL executive told LM that there is no question that LTL rates are starting to firm up on the yield side and it has become a focus for carriers—with all having some sort of yield improvement process to raise rates in place.
"The LTL industry is finally getting its arms around pricing and profitability, which is being seen in improved results, and the operating ratios for those that have reported earnings are better than those being reports by truckload carriers," said Satish Jindel, president of Pittsburgh-based SJ Consulting.
Jindel said LTL carriers are focused on finding customers that have had bad pricing, adding that customers should fully carriers to only carry freight that helps them turn a profit, which has not happened in the past, as some carriers were cutting rates to attract business while suffering financially.
But this does not mean that LTL carriers are strictly trying to make up for previous losses and getting control over pricing, as much as it is the industry recognizing carriers cannot remain in business without moving profitable freight, according to Jindel.
"What LTL carriers want is to provide quality equipment, quality service and to take better care of customers," he said.
Dahlman Rose analyst Jason Seidl wrote in a research note that LTL fundamentals remain strong industry-wide, with those trends expected to continue in the fourth quarter.
