Hi All,
My first post ! Please be gentle
My company has 600 users across the country and 200 of them in HQ.
We ran very native mail server (Postfix+CourierIMAP+Webmail+SASL) and its time for us to switch.
But the budget is a constrains for us. So we plan that out of 600 users 200 of them in HQ is allocated for ZCS NE and the rest we would like to place the user in ZCS Community Edition (CE). I know this is possible for this kind of deployment after some readings somewhere on the net.
In case we would like to have a 2 unit brand new server, we expect 1 box for ZCS NE and another ZCS CE. Both zimbra server should not have any issue for calendar sync, authentication, documents I believe.
So anyone out there have any experience on this kind of setup mind to share ?
What bothers me much is how those 2 server talk each other ?
What to configure ? GAL access ? Authentication ? How about mail routing ? How about login for users which is not in server A but in server B ?
Lots of those things running on my mind now, hope someone shed some light.

Fredric March
Birth Name: Fredric March
Born: 08/31/1897
Birth Place: Racine, Wisconsin, USA
Death Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
Died: 04/14/1975
Distinguished stage actor and one of Hollywood's most celebrated, versatile stars of the 1930s and 40s. March's roles ranged from light comedy ("The Royal Family of Broadway" 1930) to horror ("Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" 1932) to melodrama ("The Best Years of Our Lives" 1946). His classically trained voice and engaging good looks highlighted a number of period pieces, such as "Anna Karenina" (1935), but he seemed more at home playing contemporary characters like the fading actor in "A Star Is Born" (1937) and the exploitative reporter in the biting comedy "Nothing Sacred" (1937). March was married to actress Florence Eldridge (who died in 1988), opposite whom he appeared on stage and screen, fr...

Earth Condominium Conference
17 Oct 2012 - 18 Oct 2012Elinor Ostrom debunks in her work the fatalistic notion associated to community management, i.e. the Tragedy of the Commons, and opens the doors for a possible 'happy end' that results from collective action. However, this approach recognizes the need for ?developing a new theory that explains phenomena that do not fit into the dichotomous world of ?market? and ?state?.? Such phenomena include the climate system, which through its properties, is impossible to divide or appropriate individually. So out of this context the legal concept of the condominium is advanced. It offers a third path of integrated management of different kinds of property that interfere with the common good. It is a form of hybrid property, which has been used with proven success in buildings, rural communities and common resource management between contiguous countries. By separating the different responsibilities and competencies of management, harmony is achieved between usually opposite interests and interfering types of property. Based upon this conceptual framework that organizes potentially conflicting interests over a common good, a task was initiated in 2007 to scale up this model on a global level..

Upon recognizing that the climate system has the dimension of a heritage, implicitly the responsibility is adopted to transmit a climate that sustains life of this generation to future ones. This lead Sobrino to propose the application of the fundamental principles of Common Heritage of Mankind to the climatic system itself, thus freeing it from any State or private appropriations, making it accessible to all, and managed institutionally and internationally. Accepting this dimension as a characteristic of the natural global systems, suggests an evolution beyond the current perception of the climate system as a ?Common Concern of Mankind?. Its intangible and functional character may further advance the idea of a common heritage towards a new category: Intangible Natural Heritage of Mankind.
If the challenge of the EcoBalance Conference was to combine several tools to operate an accountancy rooted within a global juridic support, this second conference aspires to create the structural conditions to delineate competencies that propel institutional innovation and the constitution of a World Environmental Organization. This Organization will have to secure, through EcoBalance management, a global governance of the common natural systems that no State can secure on its own and on wich we all depend.

As Game readies the release of his R.E.D. album, he took some time to sit in the studio with Yahoo! to shed light on a few topics. As the discussion began centered around rivalries he's had with 50 Cent and Jay-Z, the opportunity allowed him to continue bashing or admit regret.
There was no real regret when he discussed his feud with Fif. The Compton emcee said he will probably continue taking shots at the Queens head of G-Unit.
"At this point in my career, it's just pure comedy. If I shoot him out, it's just going to be a few bars to make people laugh or something funny. But, I reserve the right to say something about him whenever I feel like for the rest of my life."
When talk went to Beyonce, Game admitted that he may have gone too far with some lines.
"Maybe I stepped over the line because I listen to Beyonce's music. My girl listens to Beyonce's music. All girls do. So, when I did that, I got rained on by like, it was like a chick army at my next show. Plus, I didn't really mean that much harm, man. It's just Rap, man."
Of course, his beef wasn't exactly with Beyonce. He was truly taking shots at Jay for some time and this has come to an end. According to Game, he's putting an end to the feud with Jigga.
"As far as Jay, he's a good friend of Pharrell's and he worked with Jay recently. I decided, along with [Dr.] Dre and Pharrell, that being at odds with him wasn't beneficial to what we're trying to do in the future, so later for that."

Website Helps Sort Through Humane ClaimsAmy Kuras
Like everyone else with a greenish and foodie-ish bent, I read The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food recently. Loved them both, but it was Omnivore's Dilemma that was pretty much a life-changer for me. We've decided to try, whenever possible, to make sure our meat and eggs come from farms that raise and kill their animals humanely, which means having meatless days a few times a week so we can afford it.
However, I find it really hard to sort out all the claims on food labels. It's not always feasible for me to buy meat at the farmer's market (and it's not always available there, either) where I can ask the farmers themselves questions, and many of them have pictures of the farm itself at their stalls. When I am forced into the grocery store to buy meat, I'd love to know where I can buy humanely-raised products and which of the dizzyingly huge variety of labels out there actually means something.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals has a new site, www.eathumane.org, that helps decode what label claims actually mean, and sorts them into good, better and best. For example, the "no hormones" claim on pork or poultry means nothing because it's against the law to administer hormones to pigs or birds on the farm. Free range in the case of chickens, or cage free, doesn't mean much either, but pasture-raised' just might. USDA Certified Organic, too, is a "better" choice.
Now that more and more of us are giving serious thought to where our food comes from, marketers are out to capture our well-meaning dollars with nice-sounding claims, especially since consumers have shown we're willing to pay for the privilege of better food. I needed a reference like this to ensure that the meat on which I spend my money is actually something I want to put in my mouth.

Yes you can say that I am addicted to Moosegoose's....
pretty cool if your goin for the old school-ish pimped out look...but.......thats defenetly the ugliest bike i've ever seen (1st pic). not feelin the whole yellow black checkered with the effed up wheels.
Dude,I'm not goin for the pimped out look.This bike is about 95% stock,with the exception of the pads and those effed up wheels are original gold motomags.It's gonna be gone through with all NEW stuff this winter.
As a person who gave up on mongoose I say Motomags are AWESOME. I gave up on mongoose, when I couldn't win street races, and wouyld always lose by a bikes length. I still got my '01 Hoop-D, and was gonna reserect it for a big street race tomarrow but decided my DK was better suited for the job. Im looking into getting a set of Motomags for when I resurect my Hoop-D
Keep in mind that these bikes are older than you. Some of us like them because that's what we had when we were know-it-all punks like you. You've probably never even seen proper skateboard wheels either. Back to the first Moose, those wheels are ugly and heavy. And if they're not cracked, they're also probably worth a bit to a collector. Cool stuff.Originally Posted by mude
i like them, but dont you have something more durable and new to ride so you dont have to worry about messing up your classics?
if you didnt win a "street race" on your Mongoose its your own damn fault, its not the bikes fault, unless its some bike that makes you fall down magically because its possesed by satan and needs an exorcism...its just something for you to blame becusae it cant fight back...YOUR the reason you lose racers...unless your bike breaks mid-moto...Originally Posted by FireTeamCharlie
why did you say he was going for the pimped out look and then say you didnt like one of the bikes...and anyways, whats so "pimp" about those bikes, do you see and women in the picture, or does the bike have a cane and a hat and a purple furry suit...NO i dont think so.....Originally Posted by mude

If they were loose, they'd fall off. Why don't you lose the annoying caps? Those bikes are about 10 years older than you, which may explain why they don't fit your idea of what a BMX should be.Originally Posted by BikerLRY
Chuck, I'm beginning to think you're not so bad.Originally Posted by FireTeamCharlie
I LOVE those bikes. The rest of you can take your own opinions and shove 'em, these are some of the bikes that led to bmx.
And I can vouch for those motomags (having a pair of my own.... somewere) If you dropped them on your foot, you wouldnt have a foot anymore, easily the heaviest part of the bike.

Dave pointed out that we are bombarded with adverts and that as much 89 per cent of them pass us by. He argues that with the industry spend of around 18 billion so much of this money is wasted.
He argued that ad agencies typically focus on trying to persuade consumer to try their product, but this approach doesn't work if people don't notice and understand the ads. He thinks that the focus should be on impact. If people don´t notice the ads there is little point in producing them.
He also thinks that sometimes brands are asking the wrong questions. They need to understand that while channels change the consumer stays the same. To illustrate this he talked about how brands talk about making virals. Dave points out that it is consumers that make things viral. All brands do is create videos that they hope consumer will find interesting.
Dave then went on to focus on why he believes the smartest people in marketing think simply and can communicate their ideas in a straightforward, jargon free way. He believes simplicity also encourages people to think in a more creative way. He mentioned a Sainsburys campaign in which an agency were tasked with increasing profit for the supermarket. Rather than focus on getting more customers the agency came up with a simple scheme of encouraging existing customers to spend more money by suggesting that they try new things.
He finished his talk by exhorting people to think differently.

Shabazz Napier, the 24th pick in the NBA Draft, wants you to know that he grew up in Roxbury, not the more broadly defined city of Boston. "There's a pride in that," Napier has said. "When you can come out of a place like that, all you can think of is, hope and blessings."
Andrew Angus, 30, is the sports coordinator at a YMCA in Dorchester, another Boston neighborhood, which borders Roxbury to the east. Angus knows what Napier's success means for others in the community.
"[Napier] went to my high school," he said. "Those type of guys, those kind of leaders, give people like David hope, you know like, 'I can do this. If he did this, I could do it.' "
"David" is David Lovett, a 19-year-old basketball player out of Dorchester. Colleges, private high schools and even AAU teams don't send recruiters to Boston's inner city very often.
Speaking from the gym at the Y, Angus said Lovett hasn't gotten the attention he deserves.
"You're not really gonna hear his name unless you're in our community," Angus said. "So when you walk around, people will be like, 'I know David Lovett.' Even at the park, little kids will be like, 'Oh, I know David Lovett, he's up here all the time.' "
Lovett wears his hair in tight braids and is quick with a solid handshake and a broad, genuine smile. And, yes, he spends a lot of time in this gym.
"Probably more than I spend in my actual home," he added. "It's hard to calculate. A lot of statistics."
Until he met Angus, Lovett didn't study statistics — or anything else. Ninety percent of his time was spent dreaming of a life in the NBA. College wasn't even on his radar. It's that way for a lot of kids in this neighborhood.
"You don't see a lot of successful people," Lovett said. "And to be around that, you kind of, that's where your limits are. And at the Dorchester Y, they help you out by guiding you and taking your hand and showing you and pointing you, like, this is where you need to be at. You don't want to be here."
To get where he needed to go, Lovett was told to put down the basketball and pick up the books — at least some of the time.
Once he realized he could have success beyond the game, Lovett says he had a lot of questions. And to Lovett's amazement, Angus knew how to respond.
"The area that we live in, you know, a ton of questions can come up," Angus said. "'How do I make it out of this?' — you know what I'm saying? 'Do I have what it takes to get out of it?' So he comes with these questions and it's like, alright, here's your answer."
Angus can tell kids like Lovett to study. He can tell them to use sports as a tool, not a destination. But the only question he can't answer is why more college coaches aren't noticing their efforts.
"I keep telling everybody, Dorchester really does have talent," he said. "You just have to come and look for yourself. Minus all the bad stuff in the community, stuff like that, we still have great roses that blossom and if you come in the gym you'll see that all the time."
Slim Chances Of Turning Pro
James Worthy has heard these stories before. He's an NBA Hall of Famer who played for the LA Lakers from 1982 through 1994. During his work with the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club and his own foundation, he's met a lot of kids whose only dream is to play professional basketball.
"It's sad to see but most of them aren't going to make it," Worthy said. "And I tell them the true stories, not all the great stories, but a lot of the bad stories. Just try to give them the scare factor of you know, you're not going to make it.
"I tell kids all the time, you have a better chance of becoming an astronaut than you do an NBA player. And the stats show that it's true."
What exactly do those statistics show?
NASA currently employs 78 astronauts, and there are nearly 600 roster spots in the NBA and WNBA. But, while interest in becoming an astronaut peaked generations ago, nearly a million teens play high school basketball. About 1 percent, just a little more than 10,000, will find a spot on a Division I college team. Every year those players compete against others from around the world for just 60 slots in the NBA Draft and 36 in the WNBA.
The odds are against players like David Lovett. And talented players who didn't have a back-up plan are a common sight in struggling communities across the country. That's why Eileen Connors was so impressed when she heard Lovett speak at a gala for the Y. She and her husband, Jack, had just spent a thousand dollars in an auction for VIP Boston Celtics tickets.
"We were very moved by him; he was a great young man," Connors said. "So Jack and I kinda whispered to each other and said, 'Let's give him the Celtics package,' and so we did."
Lovett could have taken anyone to the game, but he chose his mentor, Angus. Only six and a half miles separate their Dorchester neighborhood from the Connors' tree-lined street in affluent Brookline, and Jack Connors said, whether you're a well-known philanthropist or an inner city mentor, the way to help kids find a better life is the same.
"One of the quotes that I'm very familiar with is from Francis of Assisi — who lived in the 1500s, so I'm not 100 percent sure he said this — he said, 'Preach the gospel at all times, even if you have to use words.' So it's the example, the way you live your life," he said. "And if you teach somebody who's a troubled child how to be a better person, then that means their family's going to have a better shot."
So while he studies at Bunker Hill Community College and tries to land a scholarship with a Division I team, Lovett's already passing on the things he's learned. Every Saturday morning, he and Angus coach together at the Y. Lovett says he's on the lookout for younger players to mentor.
It was part of the promise he made when Angus took him on. And, he says, without Angus, he's not sure where he'd be today.
"I actually thought about that the other day," Lovett said. "I was laying down, had a basketball in my hand, air shooting, and I was like, I wonder what would happen if I didn't know Andrew Angus? And where would I be? Or what would I be doing right now? How would I be so disciplined?"
Again, Lovett found himself with more questions than answers. "Honestly my mind went from left to right, up, down, there were no answers I could find in my head."

Re: am I the only one who DIDN'T think Nicholson nailed joker??
Nicholson nailed the Joker of his time. I thought he was perfect. The crew said they wanted to take Joker back to his original appearance when he was menacing, as well as revitalized Joker in the 70s.
Since B89, the Joker evolved and became more psychotic, so the new Joker will probably reflect that. Though I can't see how Nicholson's Joker wasn't sadistic. The guy got a thrill out of frying a guy. If that isn't sadistic...

The mystery of the massive eyeball that washed up on a beach in Florida is solved. No, it wasn't Sauron's, or that of a giant squid. The marine biology website Deep Sea News has confirmed it to be most likely that of a marlin.
These great deep water predator fish, among the fastest in the world, can grow up to five metres long. Biology professor Sonke Johnsen said folks often underestimate the size of swordfish eyes. The bones around the eye ruled it out as that of a giant squid. It would need a massive iPad.

The classic shuttle problem???you can take four bikes to the trailhead, but you can't get in to the back of your SUV. This is not the case with the folding Yakima Flipside 4 Bike Rack. Once you unload this Yakima rack, you can fold it 90-degrees to the right and get into the back of your rig. The Flipside's support bars also fold out of the way when you're not driving around without a bunch of bikes on the back. Yakima didn't stop there either. They planned ahead far enough to even add an integrated bottle opener for trailhead celebrations.
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Not so bad
There were mixed reviews on this rack, but it works pretty well on my 2012 Outback.
pro's - pretty sturdy, holds 4 bikes well, and when it is not being used as a rack it folds down pretty nice, even though it's still attached to the car.
con's - to get it sturdy a tool is needed, and therefore whenever I want to detach/attach I need to use a tool which also means I must have one in close proximity
- I cannot access the hatchback while bikes are attached, but you find that with a lot of racks anyways.....
Problem with phantom flipside while driving. Could be catastrophe. Assembly instructions are not clear.
Great Bike Rack - be wary of vehicle 'fit' list
Everything I've bought to date to carry all my gear around has been Yakima - until now.
I bought the rack after consulting the Yakima fit list for my SUV (GX470). The Yakima fit list said it would work, and once assembled and installed, I was unable to open the rear door.
Not because the Flipside didn't rotate 90 degrees, but the 'rise' of the unit from the receiver was the conflict.
After calling Yakima and discussing - they said the only consideration made when 'fitting' for a receiver on a vehicle - is if it will fit the 1.5" or 2" receiver - that's it.
Word to the wise - Yakima racks have a siginificant higher 'rise' than Thule. And with the side-opening door of the GX470, the only model I was able to find that allowed full access to the rear of the SUV was the Thule Revolver. (which is a nice bick rack!)
does this rack with with the smaller 1"...
does this rack with with the smaller 1" receiver hitch?
Love the idea of a bottle open! Question...
Love the idea of a bottle open! Question - it says that you can access the back of an SUV after you take the bikes off as it can fold 90 degrees, but can you fold it 90 degrees while the bikes are on the rack?
Nope, you can't. The 90-degree motion is more of a rotation (the silver arm pivots like a clock hand), so the bikes would just fall down with the arm. It has to be unloaded.

Ball, Ada
From Albany Hilltowns
Revision as of 16:19, 20 November 2010 by Allan F. Deitz (Talk | contribs)
Ada was born about 1860, one of three daughters of John Peter Ball and Jerusha Dearstyne.
Ada probably worked with her husband in their drug store in Owego N.Y. They also were both studio phographers. There are several photographs of each of them and their house in existance.
Marriage & Children
Ada Ball married Estes Cartwright born about 1859 who died after 1910. Estes was a drugist who operated a drugstore in Owego N.Y.
Ada died sometime after 1910 Ada died c. early 1950s. I(Allan Deitz) visited her with Clyde and Alta Ball at her home in Owego, NY at least two times c. 1950 and took her out to dinner. She was probably 91 or 92 years old then. She is probably buried in Owego with her husband, Estes.

A Princeton University-led team of researchers found a way to make computer simulations in 3-D of supernovae exploding, which may lead to new scientific insights. Even though these mammoth explosions have been observed for thousands of years, for the past 50 years, researchers have struggled to mimic the step by step destructive action on computers. The 3-D simulations like this one are based on the idea that the collapsing star itself is not sphere-like, but distinctly asymmetrical and affected by a host of instabilities in the volatile mix surrounding its core.
This research was funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation (PHY 08-22648). To learn more, see the Princeton news story 3-D computer simulations help envision supernovae explosions. (Date of Image: Summer 2010) [Image 1 of 6 related images. See Image 2.]

A character was designed to be the spokesmodel for Worldwide Breast Cancer that would work in many cultures and be the source of the friendly voice in the educational materials.
Here she is in her jogging suit, designed for running apparel for Cancer marathons:
The Mayor has the symbolic pink ribbon tied around her waist, a 'lemon' shaped skirt to coordinate with the other breast cancer lemon materials, a crown showing her authority, and is shown in silhouette to hide any features that might indicate her age, ethnicity or skin color to keep her multinational appeal:
When this character was tested in the Qatar, the women commented that they could identify with her because she was muslim. In the US women said that they could identify with The Mayor because she was American. This multiple decoding of the character is the intended result of her design. It should appear to be like the viewer.

PR # 160 February 25, 2009
Faced with the prospect of significant cuts in funding from both the State of New Jersey and Somerset and Hunterdon counties, the Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) Board of Trustees last night passed an austere budget for FY 2010 that includes reductions in operating expenses, a hiring freeze and a 2.61 percent increase in student tuition and fees.
The new tuition rate of $96 per credit will take effect for the Fall 2009 semester. The current tuition is $91 per credit. However, with a new adjustment in fees, the net increase will be $3 per credit assessed. Students who do not live or work in Somerset or Hunterdon County will be charged an extra $10 per credit.
Based on the new tuition and fee schedule, the average full-time student carrying 15 credits per term (or 30 credits per year) will pay $3,540 a year, an increase of $90 over the current academic year.
?In today?s difficult economy, it?s more important than ever that an RVCC education remains an affordable option for our students,? said RVCC President Dr. Casey Crabill. ?In order to make up for an anticipated $1 million reduction in aid from the State of New Jersey and our two counties, we first sought out ways to cut costs while preserving our mission of providing students with high quality, innovative learning. As a result, the budget calls for an overall five percent reduction in operating expenses and a hiring freeze. We?ve also identified cost savings in such areas as energy and service contracts.?
The Board approved a $46.9 million operating budget for the 2010 fiscal year. Funding for the operating budget would come from the following sources:
Tuition and fees 53.3%
State of New Jersey 13.6%
Somerset and Hunterdon Counties 32.3%
Other (investments, rentals, etc.) .8%
(Auxiliary services are not included in these figures)
The Board also approved a $3.2 million major capital budget and an $850,000 minor capital budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
The operating and capital budgets now go to the Board of School Estimate for approval at its meeting on Wednesday, March 25, at 3:30 p.m., at the Somerset County Administration Building in Somerville. The Board of School Estimate includes two freeholders from Somerset County, two freeholders from Hunterdon County and two members of the RVCC Board of Trustees.
Following is a list of the new tuition rates approved by the Board of Trustees and effective for the Fall 2009 semester:
Fall 2009 Tuition Schedule
Hunterdon/Somerset County Residents: $96 per credit
Out-of-county residents: $106 per credit (Out-of-county tuition rate does not apply to individuals who work in Somerset or Hunterdon County)
Out-of-state residents: $106 per credit
Early College Program: $150 for first course in a semester. Additional courses are at regular tuition rate.
RVCC Online Courses & NJ Virtual Community College Courses: $117 per credit, no fees
Hunterdon/Somerset County Gold Card Seniors. Minimum age 65: Free tuition on space-available basis for the period of 5 business days prior to the start of the course?s part of the term. Fees apply. Anyone registering earlier than 5 business days prior to the start of the term must pay full tuition and fees.
NJ National Guard & NJ National Guard Reserves: Free tuition for up to 16 credits per term for individual only. Fees apply.
Volunteer Firefighters & Emergency Medical Personnel: Free tuition for up to $600 per year and $2,400 lifetime per family of volunteer. Fees apply.
September 11 Victims? Families: Free tuition for children and spouses of Victims. Fees apply.
RVCC, located on Route 28 and Lamington Road in North Branch, NJ, and serving Somerset and Hunterdon County residents for 40 years, offers more than 90 associate degrees and certificates. In addition, customized training programs and non-credit courses are available for those seeking personal and professional development.
The College is committed to offering a quality and affordable education through effective teaching, liaisons with the community?s businesses and state-of-the-art technology. For further information, visit www.raritanval.edu .

Posted by Zach Lowe on Jun 7, 2010 19 comments
Now that I've waxed poetic about the C's grit in the 3rd quarter, let me say this: They were lucky to win Game 2 after gifting the Lakers eight points on mental blunders. Eight points. That's, like, 8 percent of the number of points a team typically scores in a game. That's a lot.
Let's review.*
*Again, I apologize for the lack of video today. My DVR stopped recording around the the 7:00 mark of the 2nd quarter. I have no clue why. I would like to blame Time-Warner, every New Yorker's least favorite company, but my hunch is that in all my nervous moving and jumping on the couch, I landed on the "stop" button at some point and just didn't notice. This also means I can't re-watch these plays as much as I'd like, so I'm going on my notes, the highlights (in one case) and my memory. If any of you have the recordings, please add your thoughts in the comments or let me know if I've missed some key detail.
(4:13, 2nd): Rasheed Wallace rebounds a Kobe missed three. Boston is rolling, up 47-35 with LA's offense unable to generate anything in the paint as long as Bynum is resting. Rajon Rondo is on the left side of the floor, and as soon as Sheed grabs the ball, you can hear him yell (in that voice that can only be Rondo's) "Sheed! Sheed!" Seriously, I hear that voice in my sleep at this point. I think I'd recognize if I were walking down 86th Street and Rondo hailed a cab a block away.
But Sheed, for whatever reason, doesn't pass the ball right way. Maybe he was gathering his balance, or maybe he wanted to turn his body fully toward Rondo before making the pass.
Either way, he waits a beat, and in that beat, Kobe Bryant steps in the passing lane, intercepts the ball and drives at Sheed, drawing the foul. Kobe makes both foul shots.
It felt like a big play at the time, and it was, but it wasn't as big as…
(0:04, 2nd)—Oh, Shelden. You're such a good guy, and I understand what you're trying to do here. You're trying to make something happen, to give your team a chance at a make-able shot before the halftime buzzer. But the odds of you connecting with Tony Allen on this outlet pass to half court, and of Tony Allen gathering the ball and getting a decent look, well, they're pretty slim. And, oh no, here's Kobe jumping the passing lane, and, crap, there's no defender in position to challenge this three, and we all know how this scene ends.
Williams' motives were good, even understandable. But you've got to play the percentages, and the percentages say hold onto the damn ball.
(8:00, 4th quarter): This is the one for which I wish I had the video, especially because I haven't yet caught it on any of the highlight shows. I know this: The Lakers win a jump ball, and Ron Artest, with about 18 on the shot clock, launches an absolutely awful off-the-dribble three from a few feet behind the top of the arc. Look, I know Artest shot threes decently from the top of the arc (41 percent on 31 attempts this season, according to NBA.com hot spots), but this was as bad of a shot as you can take.
And as I recall it, the Celtics were in wonderful position for the rebound. They had two big guys slightly inside the foul line and Nate Robinson right under the hoop. And all three of those guys just stood there. I particularly remember Nate Robinson standing under the rim, in a spot in which he is basically useless, and yelling in my head for him to find someone to box out.
And then Sasha Vujacic came from above the foul line, knifed through all of Boston's defense and grabbed the offensive rebound. And before I could curse everyone's least favorite player, he dished a nice pass to Farmar in the left corner for a game-tying three. A great play from Vujacic, a nice finish by Farmar, but more than anything, a bad play from Boston.
That's eight points the Celtics gifted the Lakers. And while every game features a couple of bad blunders that lead to opponent points, these were three especially bad plays, and the Lakers, to their credit, capitalized on all three.
But if the Celtics are going to win three more games, they need to minimize these things, starting tomorrow.

Leading the pack in the race for the best live-action short Oscar is Hollywood screenwriter Shawn Christensen's gritty 19-minute "Curfew," which stars the multi-hyphenate as suicidal New Yorker Richie who babysits for his nine-year-old neice Sophia. Safe to say we will be hearing from this actor-writer-filmmaker again: he's currently expanding "Curfew" into a full-length feature. (See the short on iTunes.)
The film's knockout centerpiece is a dance break in a bowling alley: Sophia (the excellent Fatima Ptacek) jaunts down a lane as a line of people holding bowling balls shake their shoulders in unison. "Curfew" pulses with energy and dark humor. It starts with Richie bleeding out in a tub, but his suicide attempt is derailed by a phone call from his estranged sister, begging him to care for her daughter for a few hours. As pale Richie spends an evening with prickly Sophia, they eventually bond.
After studying graphic design, Christensen was a member of the band Stellastarr before turning to screenwriting. His Hitchcockian 2010 Blacklist screenplay "Abduction," which starred Taylor Lautner, flopped at the box office. Christensen has said that it was mangled beyond recognition. And so he turned to short films like "Brink," which also premiered at Tribeca, over which he has some control. (He's been signed to write "The Man from Nowhere" for Dimension.) Below, Christensen talks about the strictures and rewards of making shorts.
Maggie Lange: Talk about your settings, from the opening decrepit apartment to Chinatown and the bowling alley.
Shawn Christensen: We had half location-scouting, half rolling with the punches. For the bathroom scene, we couldn't fit cameras, because of the shots we wanted, so we built one. I thought, "let's get it to look like the 'Trainspotting' bathroom" -- this way he looks like a glorified squatter. With Brooklyn Bowl, it directs itself. We didn't do anything to it. It already has these screens above the alleys with these strange visuals. The scene when Sophia is schooling Richie, there are those dolls in the background-- they happened to be there. I didn't have a production design budget, so it came down to finding places that directed themselves.
ML: Do you act in all your shorts?
SC: I did a film called "Walter King" in 2006 and had a role in it, not the main role, and I remember thinking I'll never direct and act at the same time. I don't know why I regained confidence for "Curfew" because I had very low confidence going into it.
ML: There was something perfect about the length of "Curfew," which is long for a short film. Was this time frame planned out ahead of time?
SC: We didn't think it was a perfect length. In short films over fourteen minutes, every minute gets you into trouble because distributors have a harder time scheduling you. For Cannes you can't submit anything over fifteen minutes. I sat with my producer, Damon Russell, and we looked at it to see what we would cut and there wasn't anything self-indulgent. There wasn't a guy staring into a field for two minutes. We thought, "okay it's a 19-minute long film." But I think that's why we didn't get into some festivals. We thought it would be shorter. We were working with a fourteen page script, so we thought it would be fourteen minutes. And the dance sequence was only a couple of paragraphs, but it ended up being a couple of minutes.

Traffic stop yields drug arrest of Williston man
Published: Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 5:40 p.m.
DUNNELLON - A Williston man was arrested on numerous drug charges at 3 a.m. Sunday when he was stopped for speeding along U.S. 41, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.
After Deputy Regina Gordon clocked a maroon 2000 Buick going 70 mph in a 60 mph zone, she pulled it over. That's when she encountered the driver, identified as Jonathan Lucas Stephens, 32, of Williston.
When asked if he had any illegal drugs in the car, he said that he had one marijuana cigarette in his pants, the report stated.
Gordon then asked if he had any more illegal drugs. Stephens revealed he had a Huggies diaper box with 455 grams of marijuana inside. Deputies searching the vehicle later found 29 grams of cocaine in a Pringles can.
By the time officers finished searching, they discovered that Stephens also had more than $3,000 in the car, his wallet and in his pocket, the report stated.
"I have to sell it," Stephens told Gordon. "I work. I only make $7 an hour. I have to feed my kids."
Stephens was arrested and charged with one count each of possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In Danny Boyle's latest genre-bending effort, "Trance," film noir is fractured into a multi-layered crime narrative with lush, angular cinematography, and -- of course -- an allegiance-shifting femme fatale. As American hypnotherapist Elizabeth Lamb, who guides art auctioneer Simon (James McAvoy) toward the repressed location of a stolen painting pursued by gangster Franck (Vincent Cassel), actress Rosario Dawson impeccably holds the last of those aspects.
There is a slippery, sensual quality to Dawson's character in Boyle's tense drama, but in real life, she wears many masks as well, albeit more amiable: founder of Voto Latino and activist for countless other organizations, head of her production company Trybe, and star in such diverse projects as "Death Proof," "The 25th Hour," and "Explicit Ills." Recently, we chatted to her about "Trance," the possibility of a return in "Clerks III," and one of her most memorable music video appearances.
"Trance" features a constant shift between reality and trance-induced dream states. It must've been a nightmare to track your character's base emotional journey alongside the decoy personalities.
It was interesting, because I really thought of all those complexities -- basically trying to juggle it all properly. As smart and prepared and experienced as Liz is, she doesn't know what's going to happen next. Based on her understandings of the brain, she can guess, but this isn't her home base. These are not her terms.
There was a moment where I had taken three copies of [John Hodge's] script and broken them down, thinking I would have to use them throughout the entirety of filming -- predicting audience expectation, and what my character was projecting, hiding, or showing. And it ended up not being anything like that.
The script was incredibly solid. We had two weeks of wonderful, very helpful rehearsal, and I did some research into hypnotherapy -- going to institutes, meeting with hypnotherapists, having sessions -- and talking about the script's plausibility. All the hypnotherapists whom I spoke with explained, "We're not puppetmasters or magicians. There is responsibility on the part of the person being hypnotized as well, about what exactly it is they want their subconscious coming through to change." So I combined that all into Liz's perspective toward the other characters.
How did you find performing alongside the cast?
Vincent is incredibly discerning. He can read anything and understand it in a very blunt, matter of fact, beautiful way. I call him the "Old School French B-Boy" because he's just too cool for school. He's done everything: living around the world, speaking multiple languages, writing, directing, and creating music. And you've got James, who's such a great, seasoned, remarkable thoroughbred of an actor. So you're just with these maestros and Danny at the helm and [DP] Anthony Dod Mantle. You can't go wrong.

Picturehouse has acquired the U.S. rights to "The Fox & the Child," the first narrative film from the team that created the box-office hit "The March of the Penguins," Bob Berney, president of Picturehouse announced Monday. The film is directed by Luc Jacquet and produced by Yves Darondeau, Christophe Lioud and Emmanuel Priou. Picturehouse by SVP of acquisitions, Sara Rose and Carolyn Blackwood, EVP of business affairs and co-productions, New Line brokered the deal for the company. Based on Jacquet's own experience as a child, the film tells the story of "a little girl who enters the familiar landscape of the forest surrounding her home but, by following in the fox's footsteps, an entire new world is revealed to her." "We are tremendously pleased to be a part of 'The Fox & the Child,'" said Berney in a statement. "It's a universal story that will touch people of all ages. I know that Luc and his team will bring their incredible passion to this project and capture images we never thought possible." [Brian Brooks]

Ah, good. We have a revision in the peanutbutters theory of gravity. No longer does it just take gallons, but only cups to harm. Hope nobody out there was making Gravity cocktails since you did the math the first time.
I wonder if it's possible that some other folks, some that know science and math and biology better than you or I, have interpreted these reports and others that we cannot see and do not have access to, then decided to put the warning label on stuff containing paclobutrazol and alar?
I think I will await further revisions to peanutbutters theory of gravity before I invest in this miracle product. It really seems iffy and risky to use it in any quantity on patients' medicine. I think you have actually proven my point in a very final way, peanutbutter. It's not really about cancer at all.
And it has nothing to do with alar. Why lump in alar?

On the recent trip to Melbourne got to the National Gallery of Victoria to spend a while in Monet's Garden. More than half a million people visit the real garden in Giverny outside Paris and after seeing this exhibition it is easy to see why. Monet said, "My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece" and that beautiful garden inspired many, many masterpieces on canvas.
Monet is known as the 'father of French impressionism" and painting and gardening were his two obsessions but this marvellous exhibition also gives an insight into Monet the person – his relationships, his health and his social conscience. It is interesting to see frustration and even guilt expressed in the paintings he did of the garden during World War One.
The exhibition runs until September 8 and is highly recommended.

11/18/2012, Anse Mitan, Martinique
Cumberland Bay, St. Vincent
Since leaving St. George's, the main port of Grenada, one word comes to mind.
The Caribbean has a reputation of being filled with charter boats, nice beaches, cheap rum, blue water, steady trades and zero culture. Could be true, but there are options.
We spent the first night out in a totally secluded bay on the North end of Granada, no other boats, sandy beach, 20 feet of blue water with little fish swimming about. Night two we anchored off the Island of Petit St. Vincent. This is the home of a hotel for the rich and famous - we took the dink in to check it out and got offered to partake in their Sunday Barbeque Chicken fiesta......price US $ 120 a head + drinks and tips. We ate hot dogs on the boat.
Next stop, Cumberland Bay, St. Vincent. Outside the Bay we were met by 'Josoph the Rastaman', who escorted us into the bay and had us drop our anchor 200 feet off the beach. His nephew, who was on a beat up surf board took our line and tied it to a tree so we faced into the swell - that cost $ 3 US for the service. These folks all looked like something out of a bad movie, but were pretty nice. Living in shacks on the beach, they appeared to make their living tying boats (3 of us) onto trees and selling wilted lettuce. Judy bought 6 bananas and some greens from some guy on another 'lost' windsurfer. He did throw in some nice shells for free. The next morning at 6 AM when we were trying to leave in a torrential down poor, they wanted another 2 bucks to untie us......... Judy would have none of it. She negotiated successfully with an old man who could hardly walk. We will pay him next time we go back.
Then Rodney Bay, complete with fancy hotels, wind surfers, jet ski's, parasailing and glass bottom boats............very different.
Next Martinique and the yachting center of La Marin, including a huge marina, 100 boats anchored out, 3 fabulous supermarkets, inexpensive duck pate, French cheese, boxed Bordeaux wine and perfect espresso with fresh croissant's.............
Our favorite was probably St. Pierre on the North end of Martinique, where we anchored close enough to the town pier to be able to row in. This town was the cultural and commercial center of the French islands at the turn of the last century. More than 30,000 people lived in what was described as " Little Paris", enjoying the wealth of the sugar and rum trade with Europe and the US. They were 4 miles from the Volcano of Mt. Pelee, that rumbled for weeks in the spring of 1902. Officials reassured the population that nothing bad would happen (because that would be bad for business). Reminds me of the 'fiscal cliff' rhetoric of present times! Anyway, one early morning the whole thing exploded with a tremendous energy burst greater than the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, destroying the entire city and killing more than 29,000 people in the worst volcanic disaster of the Century. Now there are 5,000 souls living there, and it is the most delightful little city, complete with communal seine fishing off the beach, a wonderful Saturday morning market with all the wife's selling stuff while their husbands (and us) were sitting shooting the breeze in a café over an 11 am beer. The husbands had to go pack up the tables after market was over; we just had to go take a swim off the transom!
We were going to leave this week-end for Guadalupe, but true to form, the French folks here close down all kinds of things so they can have a relaxed long week-end. Since we could not get a check out clearance in St. Pierre on a Saturday we backtracked to Fort de France only to find out that you really can't leave France on anything but a Monday - Friday 09:00 - 15:00............maybe tomorrow we will leave?
One more note - all the upwind sailing we did last year is paying off nicely. We have been doing day runs of 20 - 50 NM, have a blade jib and typically a full main up, and are reaching along at 6 - 8 knots most of the time..........nice!
Mary and Peter at Two Harbors
Mary of NEKO sent us a little clip from our delivery to LA in September.
Thought someone might enjoy it.......
Nice pictures.
11/08/2012, Grenada, Concord Falls
Judy jumping to the safety of Galvins arms
For our final outing before leaving Grenada for Carriacou we figured we would take full advantage of having a rental car until 10Am. So we got out of bed by 5:30, grabbed a quick bowl of cereal and off we went to check out the Concord waterfall's. Judy actually wanted to go the Spice Garden to see all the different spices grown in the Island, but I convinced her they would not be open at 6:30 in the morning. Also, what is better than an early morning hike through the rain forest looking for natural spices along the way!
Smartly we were wearing sensible footwear for a change - I got my foot immersed in mud up to my ankle just as I was getting out of the car. Anyway, up we went on what the tour book described as a 30 minute hike to the upper falls - they must not have updated the info since hurricane Ivan took out all the bridges 10 years ago. After we had crossed the river 6 times wading through waist high water, the 'trail' was getting a little harder to identify, and we convinced ourselves after an hour that we must have taken some wrong turn. Abandon mission, and cross back across the river 5 times before we ran into a gentle giant farmer, Galvin. He rented a plot up in the forest where he, his mother and uncle farmed vegetables, spices and fruits. He knew the easy way to the waterfall and agreed to guide us there for 10 Bucks'
So we crossed back through the same 5 river crossings we just completed twice, this time with a little more speed. Judy - who previously had whimpered that she would probably fall down and kill herself crossing - now was jumping from rock to rock, each time being caught in Galvins strong arms. I still had to do the wading.
As it turned out, we had been on the right trail, and just another 20 minutes above the spot we had turned around we climbed into the pool at the fall, covered in mosquitos. On the way down I only fell twice, Judy once. Her fall was better than mine. She was just standing there trying to catch her breath, then fell over like a clown in a circus. Oh, and we did see a bunch of spices and plants identified by Galvin who was a real nature lover. And we got the car back to the rental agency just a few hours late after our '30 minute nature walk'
We had a nice sail 30 Miles across to Carriacou, our next stop.
Great to see you are back at it. Thanks for all the photos. Best Wishes for your next season.
Håber alt vel!
11/06/2012, St. Georges Bay, Grenada
The bottling department at Royal Grenada Rum Factory
You're not going to believe this, I mean, I barely believed it myself. But when we left Charlottesville Tobago in the early morning, heading Northwest in a South Easterner for Grenada (where we were going to get our gear shifter fixed,) we clicked on the auto pilot, and guess what happened? ADSOLUTELY NOTHING! Ok, add it to the list. We hand steered the 70 long miles to Grenada Marine. They took good care of us. Installed a new shifter. I added another coat of varnish, and Torben trouble shooted the auto pilot.
He had the whole thing apart. By this time, he really knows his way around this system. Consulted our Auto pilot Guru, Paul aboard SV Georgia via email, put the thing back together claiming he couldn't fix it. He turned it on for the heck of it and OMG it worked!
Currently we are anchored in St. George's Bay which is the largest city in Grenada. It has a two part harbor, one formed by a volcano. There is a lot of history here. The US came over in 1983 to restore civil unrest, after the execution of the Socialistic President and his cabinet. The people here are very friendly. They especially love Americans and seem up on our current politics. They are hoping Romney wins!
Torben and are recuperating from a day of playing tourist. We rented a jeep and headed out this morning to explore the island. We found ourselves at the Belmont Estate which back in the seventeen hundreds, was a sugar plantation but now operates as a coco bean plantation.
Our last stop of the day was River Antoine Estate. Where they produce "Rivers Royale Grenadian Rum". But first before getting there Torben had to take out a couple school boys, backpacks by passing too close as they walked along the side of the road.
The distillery was....interesting. Produced white rum that was only 74% alcohol! I have rubbing alcohol that I use before I varnish that's only 70%! You've got to go to the picture gallery and see the photo's we have posted. A picture's worth a thousand words! I dare say I did not have rum in my evening cocktail! As a matter of fact, I may never drink rum again! The distillery took pride in making rum the old fashion way. Pure and simple moonshine. I wondered to myself if the spiders that found their way into the bottles would have the same effect as the worm in a bottle of tequila.
The bottling process was performed manually by pouring into bottles from a large yellow igloo cooler like the kind you would fill with lemonade and take to the ballpark for the kids. There were four kinds of rum. 74% alcohol, 61% (so that you could take some back with you on the plane.) and two kinds of rum punches for the ladies, she said. Oh, and they only made white rum because ageing it would take too long. As a matter of fact, from the time the sugar cane gets pressed to the time the rum gets bottled, is six to eight days! The 74% rum is the most popular rum sold to the local people on Grenada.
I nominated Torben as the Ginny pig. Now, I've seen him put down some pretty interesting alcohol from his homeland. Ones that would peel Tivoli's bottom paint right off her. But when he took a shot of this "Royale Grenadian Rum" his eyes got real wide and immediately began to water. I thought they were going to pop right out of his head. I couldn't take my eyes off of him! If it was going to happen, I didn't want to miss it! Then a low guttural sound began to rattle somewhere in the back of his throat followed by a hissing sound. Try as he might he could no longer stifle the cough and spray of rum that eventually followed. Once he found his voice he turned to me and said," Damn spider!" That was enough testimony for me. Needless to say, I passed on the tasting and purchasing of this fine rum!
Meeting Dale....
Tobago definitely has a different feel than its sister island of Trinidad.
First of all, we came from a very industrial mega boatyard area, we are now back to beach landings in the dinghy; this has got to one of the few islands left in the Caribbean without a dinghy dock. Second, the folks that live here seem VERY laid back and friendly, No problem mon.
We spend 2 nights working our way up the N. side of Trinidad being the lone boat in both anchorages . We managed to trade 4 beers and 4 packs of peanuts for a nice fish with some local fishermen. We had a fabulous sail across to Store Bay where we have now been for 4 (or 5?) days, alternating between swimming, varnishing, servicing winches, and doing other cleanup chores after 3 months on the hard.
While having a drink at Crown Beach Hotel's bar to get their internet password (so we can poach on connectivity in the anchorage) we ran into bartender Dale, who told us he doubled down as a taxi driver after hours. Perfect, as this was Sunday when lots of folks show up for 'Sunday School' starting at 9 PM and lingering in to the morning hours at some beach village some miles away. So we got to listen to a steel band and some extremely loud DJ music. Dale had been talking about his Russian wife, who was going to be at Sunday School preparing a favorite meal of 'Shark Bacon', which we were pretty sure would be close to a shark bacon burger if such a thing exists....actually, Judy would probably not have gone to the party if it was not to taste this delicacy. As it turned out we still loved the shark Bake, which is a coconut bread sandwich with grilled shark in spicy mayo!
The drive back to the beach at midnight was memorable, as Dale at this point must have smoked something other than a cigarette.........we should have known when we got into the car, as his seat was in the 'max recline' position! Nothing like a guided tour at midnight complete with facts about the Island we are visiting. Quote: I be like this island because there are 11 women for every man here! Romney and Obama should come here for final campaigning.
Tomorrow we will continue up island to Charlottesville before heading towards Granada in a week or so. We are perfecting new techniques for anchoring as we busted the gear cable and subsequently the bracket that holds it in place trying to fix it. So now, Judy is on deck driving the boat. I am in the engine compartment with a wrench. She will call down engine commands via our Machine telegraph - 2 empty coke bottles connected by a string. "Forward 1/3" "Stand BY" "Reverse ½" "Stand By" ..........."Come up to set anchor" The fun goes on!
Deb and I plan to leave Bermuda on Nov. 5th bound for St. Martin. Will most likely arrive on the 10th or 11th. Will probably stick around for a week or two. Then off to the BVI through Christmas and New Years. Mostly in and around Virgin Gorda Sound and Anegada. Let's make sure to run into each other several times!!!
Elizabeth, Ed and Luna
10/16/2012, Powerboats, Trinidad
Last year it took us 11 days at the dock in El Salvador to get ready, this year we made it 8, and we could probably have been even faster if we had not dragged in the heat the first couple of days.
But now we are ready for new adventures, have checked out of Port of Spain for Tobago and will leave first thing Wednesday morning.
Tivoli at the dock at Powerboats after 3 PM - that is when the rain starts for the afternoon!
We think we have everything working, fixed some troublesome lights, got our outboard running smoothly, engine serviced, Autopilot pump relocated and bled, boat polished and painted.....and as brand new members of 'Price Smart', the local Costco, we are taking full advantage af the new raised waterline!
The weather has been pretty muggy, so we are looking forward to get out of the harbor. We did have a little 'fun action' a couple of days ago from the tropical depression that passed several 100 Miles North of us - it kicked up some very interesting wave action in the slip, and we got pretty busy putting out additional lines - several boats got up close and personal with each other or the docks, but we got lucky and escaped without a scratch.

Guy Playing Fruit Ninja On A Screen MADE OF VAPOR
This is a video of a Huffington Post reporter playing a game of Fruit Ninja on a Displair, a motion-controlled display projected onto a cloud of vapor. Obviously, Fruit Ninja was the perfect game to play because it really allows you appreciate the potential applications of a screen like this. "Like playing fruit ninja with an actual ninja sword?" *wink* I'll hit up the weapons kiosk at the mall -- you want any throwing stars? "Nunchucks." F*** yeah, Michelangelo!
Hit the jump for the video.
Thanks to killahertz, who told me he'd put some killer hurts on those fruits if he had a real ninja sword although I suspect he'd just slice his own arms and legs off.

Ryan is originally from Harrisburg, PA and currently resides in Brooklyn. He comes from an active family— his father is a spin and Pilates instructor and his mother and sister are both ballet dancers. He has been involved in sports for most of his life, having played basketball, soccer, and baseball competitively through high school.
After graduating, Ryan developed a passion for weight training and worked as a student athletic trainer at Muhlenberg College.

His background is in bodybuilding and training for speed and power, which won him an internship with Velocity Sports Performance, who specializes in Nike Sparq training for young athletes. Ryans training style and classes reflect his background—explosive and efficient movements with an emphasis on speed and power. His favorite strength coaches, from whom he draws new information, are Paul Chek, Eric Cressey, Christian Thibaudeau, and Charles Poliquin. You wont often find him on the cardio machines—he prefers to get his heart rate up with kettle bells or a jump rope. He also stresses the importance of a proper warm-up, which involves both dynamic movements and static stretching.
My name is Jahar Vann and I am your new personal trainer. A big misconception about myself and other personal trainers is that were perfect or that results come easy because weve always been "fit"—the truth couldnt be more different for me. I went from being a basketball athlete in the best shape of my life to an obese diabetic. After tearing two ligaments in my knee I stopped taking care of myself. I ate whatever I wanted and however much I wanted; I partied and had no regards for the damage I was inflicting until it almost became too late. A health scare finally lit the fire that told me, "enough is enough."
I reclaimed my health the right way and I can help you do it too. The athlete in me knows there is no such thing as a quick fix so you will never hear me tell you that change will be easy. But, what you will hear me say, is that Ive got a personalized plan for you and the professional knowledge to get you to where you want to go in an step-by-step process. Remember I was there too right where so many of you are, but I am living proof it is possible.
Book a session with me and see the difference in how I train, in how I motivate and how I coach. I look forward to enabling your journey to a better life and sharing my "Fitness Made Personal" philosophy with you.
