Fresh from the sea, a meaty fish that can take on any burger, fresh ingredients, light and clean tasteing.
It's quick, it's easy, it's delicious, it's All-American.
The grilled fish blends well with the southwestern seasonings and herbs, making a light but filling meal for any guest, any where

"These cards are absolutely gorgeous. The print is just delicate enough and the card stock was sturdy. I have gotten tons of compliments on them and am seriously considering purchasing the matching suite."
"We got these in Cabernet for our save the dates because the invitations we picked out (from this site) didn't have them. We are very happy with the quality of the paper and the clarity of the printing. We are considering getting the Thank-Yous also."
"I have used your products before and these cards did not disappoint. I am amazed at the wonderful quality products you provide at such an affordable price. You help to make planning a wedding even more enjoyable!"
"These Save the Date cards definitely exceeded my expectaitons. We are having a garden wedding this summer so they were a perfect fit. I love the simplicity of these cards. The design is truly lovely without being overbearing. I was really pleasantly suprised by how nice the paper weight and texture was. Definitely looks and feels like they cost more than they did. These were a great value for the money. I will absoultely be coming back to order the matching invitations, progrmas and thank you cards. WPD's service was awesome. My order even shipped out earlier than originailly expected. Thank you WPD's for a great product at a good value and wonderful service!"
"We are getting married at a mountain lodge in September, so finding a product that matched both the season and venue had been difficult. This design was simple, yet reflected the outdoor and autumn feel that we wanted. The quality of the paper was better than I expected; much heavier than anticipated and the printing was good for the size of the font and the texture of the paper. I chose a cranberry color that blended with the yellow in the leaves to create a nice orange, which helped develop that autumn theme."

Why You Need to Rethink Your White Walls NOW
To bring a feeling of nature into a New York living room, designer Fawn Galli used a custom minty green: "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall." Pal + Smith chairs in a cheetah print — Safari by Manuel Canovas — with a Paley sofa from Profiles, a Fiona Curran Palette carpet for the Rug Company, and a painting by Anne Siems give the room "a sense of storybook fantasy."

It's rainy and nasty here in New York and even though it's almost May, I'm freezing and craving hot cocoa. While I should go home tonight and make a salad with some fresh spring greens, I need something way more comforting.
I made Aida Mollenkamp's Vegetarian Pot Pie for Thanksgiving last year (I like to bring a meat-free dish to family gatherings since, contrary to a certain aunt's beliefs, turkey is not vegetarian) but I'm going to make this pot pie tonight, only I'll spring-ify it by swapping the fresh peas I got at the farmer's market this weekend for the frozen.
The best part about this recipe is that it calls for frozen puff pastry, so you don't have to spend all night making homemade pie crust for it. It makes for great leftovers, too, so for me, this rainy-night meal will turn into a few days' worth of rainy-day brown-bag lunches.
Serves: 8
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 small heads fennel, finely chopped (about 3 cups)
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped (about 2/3 cup)
12 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced (about 5 cups)
1 small russet potato, peeled and diced small (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium mushroom broth
1 cup whole milk
1 cup frozen baby green peas
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
1/4 cup parsley
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 large egg yolk
7 ounces store-bought puff pastry or pie dough, defrosted if frozen
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Melt butter over medium heat in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan. When it foams, add fennel, onions, and carrots, and cook until just soft and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and potato, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms have let off water and are shrunken, about 6 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
Whisk egg together with 2 teaspoons water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish. Brush dough with egg wash and cut slits in the top to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with hot cocoa, if you're chilly and cranky about the wet weather like I am.

Did you know?
The original Kings Park Stadium hosted the first post-apartheid football match on July 7, 1992, with South Africa beating Cameroon 1-0.
The feature that stands out most at the Moses Mabhida Stadium is its grand arch. At 350m long and 106m high the arch is symbolic of a diverse nation, unified in its love of sport. The two legs of the arch on the southern side of the stadium join together on the northern side, representing a once-divided people now unified.
This Durban sports stadium was built at a cost of around R3.4-billion, across the road from the rugby stadium most popularly known as Kings Park. It has been widely acclaimed as an architectural masterpiece and has already achieved iconic status.
A high-tech sky car whisks visitors up the soaring grand arch to a viewing platform at its peak, to soak up 360° views of the seafront and the city. There's also a 500-stair adventure walk up the arch which is sure to get football fans' hearts pumping.
If your heart, lungs and nerve are up to it, then tackle the Big Rush Big Swing − not only the world's only stadium swing, but also the biggest swing of any kind anywhere. It's even in the the Guinness Book of Records. Leap into space 106 m above the pitch and swing out in a mighty 220m arc under the iconic arch.
The 70 000-seat 2010 FIFA World Cup™ stadium hosted seven matches during the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, including the semi-final between Spain and Germany.
In January 2011, the stadium hosted a T20 cricket match between South Africa and India, which was attended by some 54 000 people, a record for a cricket match in Africa.The stadium also hosts live music concerts, festivals and all manner of events.
Named after a stalwart of the armed struggle against apartheid, it is estimated that the creation of the Moses Mabhida Stadium injected some R155-billion directly and indirectly into the Durban region, creating an impressive 14 000 jobs which have positively impacted on low-income households.
A lively new urban recreation district with sports stores, a gym, a high performance medical and training sports facility, restaurants, cocktail lounge and children's play area, as well as various entertainment options, is adjacent to the stadium, and has become a popular destination for locals and tourists.

Thoroughly Modern Menorahs
Best Private Collection
Sarah Aibel curated an incredible, almost haunting show in Adam Sender's former residence in Miami, where there was art in the kitchen, art in the children's bathrooms, in the backyard, in the halls, staircases, closets, and everywhere you turned. From Sarah Lucas' "Cock," made of cigarettes in the bathroom, to Richard Prince's "Brooke Shields" in the girl's room, art lived in this home. It was a great opportunity to view work of this caliber in a unique domestic setting—and off the white walls of a gallery or museum. Sender is an ambitious, relatively new collector with more than 1,000 pieces in his stunning collection. Showing an extremely keen eye for young talent (like the acquisition of Frank Benson and Diana al Hadid) and paying respects to the older guard (Cindy Sherman and Richard Phillips), the Sender collection is working its way up to major respectability.
Best Event
Gareth Pugh's dinner at Baoli-Vita Miami restaurant was pure, unadulterated fun. Maybe it was the fact that it was the last dinner, so people could let loose. Perhaps it was the amazing food. Or it could have been the elaborate delivery of Dom Pérignon every 20 minutes—complete with the Star Wars soundtrack blasting, huge sparklers, and naked girls painted white. Or we may have been genuinely happy for the daring fashion designer's presence at the fair—a first. Whatever the case may be, the vibe was light, energetic, and celebratory. We asked Pugh what his thoughts on Miami were so far. "It's amazing how all my friends from London are here," he said. "And that it's December and warm out."

Highway 1, north of Gorda, south of Big Sur is CLOSED INDEFINITELY as of this post date.
Nacimiento-Ferguson Road is unaffected by this closure.
Another rock slide due the the first significant rains we have just received this weekend and this morning. This occurred at Pitkin's Curve where CalTrans is already in the process of building a brand new bridge to span this area.
"Unofficial" word says this may only a 3-4 day closure but that will depend on the Geology Report.

An East Lancashire MP has criticised Camelot's decision to increase the price of a Loterry ticket to £2.
Nigel Evans, who represents the Ribble Valley, said: "Notwithstanding the higher winnings, I do think that this is bad timing on Camelot's part.
"Most people who play the National Lottery do so out of a sense of hope and what could be.
"Increasing the price by 100 per cent does seem very unfair, especially at a time when people are struggling financially.
"Many people also play the same numbers week in week out and I worry that they would feel compelled to continue at double the cost.
"I understand that prices have not changed since 1994, but I see no compelling reason to change them now and I hope that they remain the same in the autumn."

By Professor Simon Deakin, director, Corporate Governance Research Programme, Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge
John Kay's interim report finds that equity markets are failing in their primary tasks, which he identifies as enhancing the long-term growth of listed companies and providing savers with an appropriately high, risk-adjusted return on their investments. The failure lies, he suggests, in the way that market actors are currently incentivised. If asset managers are assessed on a quarterly or biannual basis, it is not surprising that they apply benchmarks based on the short-run performance of the firms they invest in.
Corporate managers, on the other hand, believe that they have a legal duty to maximise short-term shareholder value, and act accordingly. Kay rightly suggests that this view is mistaken as a matter of law but, again, it is no surprise that directors and managers think in these terms, given the way that shareholders are routinely described as the 'owners' of the firms they invest in. Disclosure rules add to the problem, in particular those requiring quarterly reporting of corporate results. Lawyers will recognise that shareholders are the owners of their shares, not the company, and that they have no right to manage the firm, having delegated this power to the board, but these subtleties are clearly being lost in translation.

GeForce GTX Titan Two-Way SLI Scaling: PCIe 2 vs. PCIe 3by Ryan Smith on 6/21/2013 9:00 AM EST

Back to Article
JMC2000 - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkThat is interesting. Ryan, do you think that a triple 30" setup could show even a larger difference? Reply
dishayu - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkSo, what this essentially means is that one can use a PCIe 3 x8 slot for any current GPU without worrying about bandwidth constraints, since offers the same bandwidth as a PCIe 2 x16 slot. Reply
Granseth - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkI would be interested in knowing if PCIe 2 or 3 affects frame times and min fps as well. Reply
fokka - Sunday, June 23, 2013 - linki don't think so, if it's not even influencing fps in a significant way. Reply
tipoo - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkI'll be curious to see Thunderbolt 2 scaling, since even though there's not much difference between PCI E 2 and 3 here the difference between PCI and Thunderbolt is still huge. Reply
sna1970 - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkThunderbolt 2 is around 3-4 PCIe 3.0 lanes Reply
MartinT - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkNope, Thunderbolt 2 is still 4 lanes of PCIe 2.0, the only difference between v1 and v2 of Thunderbolt is that v2 allows for channel-bonding at the logical level, so you can use those same 4 lanes to connect to a single device, when w/ v1 you were limited to 2 lanes (single channel) per device. Reply
SantaAna12 - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkThank you. Disappointing, but good to know. Reply
chizow - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkI'm not sure how useful the AVGs are in this case Ryan. Don't you think it would be more informative to give some type of FPS vs. time graph, to show the peaks and valleys in framerate? Or even some type of percentile measurement, giving how much time is spent above certain framerate thresholds. I think I'd be more interested to see if PCIe 2 v 3 results in a significant difference in minimum FPS mainly, because slight dips are going to get lost in a sea of frametimes in an average, but will be very noticeable IRL. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkIn other recent gfx threads Anandtech editors have said that accumulating and processing time per frame data is too time consuming to make it into their current review/benchmarking workflows.
Unfortunately, until the toolchain improves that sort of data appears likely to remain the province of more specialized review sites. Reply
MartinT - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkI call BS. I fully expect frame times to make it into Anandtech reviews by Aug 1st. Reply
Ryan Smith - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkThey're already in our reviews, starting with GTX 780: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6973/nvidia-geforce-... Reply
MartinT - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkAh, thanks. Did you ever go back and update the 7990 review? Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkThis is one of those cases where I'm just throwing what data I have on the wall. I didn't put much time into the subject since it wasn't possible to get PCIe 3 working on the third slot, so this was all that was collected. It wasn't originally intended for publication. Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, June 21, 2013 - link"It wasn't originally intended for publication." We appreciate it though. The trend is obvious here. Reply
Remarius - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkI assume a motherboard with a PLX PEX8747 PCIe 3.0 like the MSI Z87 XPOWER will bypass the Haswell lane limitations? Reply
sna1970 - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkdont bother with Haswell at all ..
soon in sept. we will have Ivy-Bridge-E with 40 PCIe3.0 lanes , 4,6,8,10,12 cores options , quad channel memory at 1866 DDR3
who cares about Haswell ? it is only 3 months to wait. Reply
Remarius - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - linkNot necessarily disagreeing with waiting for Ivy Bridge-E but last I checked the i7-4960X will be six cores..... best not to include them with ultra high spec 12 core xeon's that may or may not be unlockable and even if so will cost an obscene amount. ;) Reply
R3MF - Tuesday, July 02, 2013 - linkwon't we still have the same X79 chipset?
and don't the socket 2011 CPU's run the PCIe from the chipset, in which case we'll have the same slightly flakey v3.0 support that we have today? Reply
sna1970 - Saturday, June 22, 2013 - link@ Ryan Smith
you should try Xeons on a 2011 socket , they support 40 lanes PCIe 3.0 officially ...
to compare , just use a Xeon 4 cores at stock speed of the same Haswel/Ivy i7 Reply
JeBarr - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkSo now you all know why kingpin decided to take the record with two titans instead of three :D Reply

NEARLY 10,000 homes across Worcestershire are at risk from flooding, it has emerged.
A new flood risk map reveals how large parts of the county - especially homes in south Worcestershire - are still highly vulnerable to dangerously high river levels.
The data, produced by the Environment Agency, has led to fresh calls for even more of a focus to be placed on flood protection measures.
In Worcester 2,723 homes are deemed 'at risk' - which means they have a 1-in-100 to 1-in-1,000 chance of being flooded in any given year.
The map, which has been refined and broken down into parliamentary constituencies by Friends of the Earth, reveals that 1,689 properties in Malvern share the same risk and 1,529 in Mid-Worcestershire.
In northern parts of the county the figures are much lower, with just 513 homes in Redditch at risk and 918 in Bromsgrove, but it stands at 1,891 in the Wyre Forest.
Campaigners say the figures should serve as a wake-up call, with fears that more frequent flooding could be on the horizon due to climate change.
Sir Peter Luff MP, who represents Mid-Worcestershire, said: "In Wychavon we had our wake-up call in the storms of 1998.
"Since then we have done a lot to protect homes from the consequences of climate change, with considerable success.
"As a result, many homes stayed dry in the last two months that would have been flooded in precious years. "However a lot more can also be done to protect to protect individual properties from flooding."
Worcester MP Robin Walker said: "When anyone gets flooded it's horrendous, and clearly in my constituency it's a major issue.
"Resilience has clearly got to be a priority and it's good news these latest floods didn't have the same impact as in 2007."
Mary Dhonau, chief executive of the Know Your Flood Risk Campaign, said: "I am concerned about the figures because it shows that clearly more needs to be done.
"Five thousand litres of water can get into a house through your air bricks alone.
"If you're at risk of flooding I would urge everyone to use the financial help announced by the Government to make changes."
This winter's flooding, the worse in Worcester in 14 years, saw the main city bridge close completely.
After the River Severn burst its banks water is believed to have entered around 50 homes in Worcester, and the same figure in Malvern.
The Government has since announced a £130 million package of help, including council tax and business rate relief, and home owner grants worth up to £5,000.
Households in Malvern affected by the floods can get £250 grants from the district council, while Worcester City Council is launching a £50,000 hardship fund.
Chris Crean, from the regional branch of Friends of the Earth, said: "Without proper investment in flood defences, hundreds of thousands more homes could be put at risk of flooding."

text: satsujin 139 Report post Posted November 9, 2013 Hello Everyone, I haven't coded for a long time now(used to do it as a hobby when I was younger) but recently got the urge to create a point and click adventure game engine. I would like some info about getting articles and documentation on how to go about this. My concept of a game engine is some form based IDE that lets you specify rooms, sprites, backgrounds, events. I assume the events would be scripted somehow but have no clue how to work on a scripting engine and how a custom script becomes compiled code. For the graphics I would use one of the free graphics libraries for Windows C# out there. The functionality of the game I would want to create with my engine would be pretty limited at first. Just want 2 rooms, objects you can look at and add to your inventory and a defined screen region for walking. Can anyone help? Thanks.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

POLICE are appealing for information on the whereabouts of a man who is wanted on prison recall.
Andrew Cross, 30, was jailed for seven years in October 2006 for possession of a handgun and was released in December last year to Probation Trust approved premises in Accrington.
However, he failed to return to the premises on December 24th and has been at large ever since.
Cross is originally from Sheffield and still has family and associates there and officers believe that due to those strong links that he may well be in the area.
Cross is described white, around five feet nine inches tall and of medium/proportionate build with short blonde hair. He has a number of tattoos including tribal designs on the left and right sides of his neck.
Detective Inspector Jo Dent said: "While Andrew Cross remains at large there is the possibility that he could pose a risk to members of the public and I would urge anyone who knows where he is or who sees him not to approach him directly but to call the police.
"I would urge anyone with information to get in touch with us by calling 101. If you are calling from Lancashire please quote log number 913 of the 20th February, if you are passing information from South Yorkshire, please quote log number 684 of the 20th of February."

Marine Gen. John Kelly, the four-star head of U.S. Southern Command, testified during an administrative hearing here Wednesday that it is the battalion and unit leadership — not Capt. James Clement — who should answer for failing to properly supervise the scout snipers who made a video of themselves urinating on dead insurgents in Afghanistan.
Kelly testified for the defense before a board of three senior officers overseeing the hearing. They will determine whether Clement, who is accused of substandard performance and misconduct, keeps his military career or is thrown out of the Marine Corps.
As the executive officer of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, Clement was the senior officer on that July 2011 patrol and serving as a radio operator. He has maintained that he was neither aware of the urination video nor present when it was made. It was uploaded to YouTube several months later, creating tremendous backlash in the U.S. and Afghanistan, and prompting Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Jim Amos to tour the force imploring Marines to correct what he saw as a breakdown in discipline.
When the hearing began Tuesday, prosecutors argued it was Clement's duty to correct what they suggest was a rash of poor behavior by the sniper team. They pointed to other video clips shot during the patrol showing the snipers without all of their protective gear, the alleged negligent discharge of a grenade launcher, and what they say was indiscriminate fire on an unclear target.
Kelly, who commanded combat forces as a two-star general in Iraq, said he was aware of the battalion's reputation on that 2011 deployment. At that time, he was serving as the senior military adviser to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. While the scout sniper platoon demonstrated tremendous success, the unit overall was perhaps not the most squared away, he suggested.
"I would say that it was a battalion that was, in my estimation, loose in the way it did business," Kelly said. "A lot of people doing great things but general confusion in how people were organized for combat."
Earlier Wednesday, attorneys for the government interviewed Capt. Rudyard Olmstead, who served as Kilo Company's commander during the battalion's deployment. Olmstead said he had observed one disciplinary concern with the scout sniper platoon: repeated uniform violations. While on their forward operating base, the men were known to walk around without shirts and without blousing their pants properly, he said, adding that the matter was addressed by their superiors but continued nonetheless.
"I think we ultimately kind of gave up and said, 'Well, they're doing great stuff outside the wire,' " Olmstead said.
Kelly said these kinds of issues, particularly in a sniper unit that viewed itself as elite and special, spoke to the need for direct supervision by an officer. But in a legal brief submitted ahead of the hearing, Clement's attorneys indicated that no officers were assigned to lead them. Instead they were commanded by a staff sergeant who reported directly to battalion leadership.
"No doubt about it, Marines will do anything we'll tell them to do. They'll take Iwo Jima, they'll blouse their trousers," Kelly said. But, "they have to be supervised."
Insignificant as it might seem, Kelly said a breakdown in discipline regarding something as basic as uniform standards could rapidly lead to significant problems. If those issues were not corrected, Kelly said, "it's a slippery slope to urinating on corpses, to raping women, to murdering kids."
"You have to maintain that discipline," he said.
While testifying Tuesday, the battalion's commander during that deployment, Lt. Col. Christopher Dixon, said he repeatedly emphasized throughout the ranks the importance of taking a moral high road in combat. To that end, Dixon spearheaded what he called the "ethical warrior" program to encourage Marines to uphold their standards and professionalism within the fog of war and combat.
Though Clement was on the 20-man patrol to man radio communications, multiple witnesses during the hearing confirmed that a noncommissioned officer, Sgt. Robert Richards, was the patrol's designated commander. Kelly said that he saw no reason, from extensive battlefield footage taken from a helmet camera over five hours during the patrol, that Clement should have stepped in to take it over.
Clement "effectively communicated," the general said. "That's what his role was out there."
Col. Todd Desgrosseilliers, commanding officer of The Basic School, where Clement currently serves as a warfighting instructor, also spoke Wednesday in defense of the accused captain. Desgrosseilliers said Clement had distinguished himself at TBS, the Marine Corps' schoolhouse in Quantico for all new Marine officers, and was selected as one of the school's staff platoon commanders.
A former commanding officer of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, Desgrosseilliers said he had also encountered disciplinary issues with scout snipers attached to the unit during a 2006 deployment to Iraq. They disobeyed orders and entered a local village to set up a hide site, causing a disturbance that led to a crowd of 300 Iraqis around the compound, he said. After that, Desgrosseilliers disbanded the platoon, he said.
Testifying in his own defense Wednesday, Clement said he had been absorbed in his duties as radio operator. As such, he said, he was not present for nor did he witness many of the incidents caught on video.
Clement's civilian attorney, John Dowd, also argued that the videos show an incomplete picture of what took place that day. He presented evidence to suggest the alleged negligent discharge could have been a misfire, and that snipers were authorized to remove their Kevlar helmets on specific occasions to help them shoot more accurately.
The patrol was viewed largely as a success: three insurgents were killed in an ambush early on, and intelligence obtained during the mission led to more enemy casualties. When Clement later viewed the footage, he said he was surprised by what he saw, including Richards' declaration, as the Marines fired from within an austere compound, that "for the next five minutes, every military-age male south is hostile."
"I felt that what I had seen in the videos was not what I remembered from the day," Clement said. "It was not in my memory at all."
As proceedings neared an end Wednesday, prosecutors unsuccessfully sought to call an unannounced witness to rebut testimony heard earlier: Lt. Gen. Steven Hummer, who carried out the Marine Corps' internal investigation after the urination video surfaced. The board members denied the request after Dowd objected.
In all, eight Marines faced disciplinary action in connection with the urination video. Richards, along with two staff sergeants, were taken to court-martial and demoted in rank.
Clement was the only officer to face criminal charges. But those charges were dropped suddenly in September, amid allegations that Amos and others close to him had attempted to manipulate the military justice system and ensure Marines would be punished for the video. Clement was ordered instead to appear before this administrative board.
Absent from Wednesday's testimony was any reference to the allegations of unlawful command influence that emerged earlier this year as Clement's case headed toward court-martial. His lawyers had suggested the Marine Corps attempted to block them from accessing key evidence, including witness statements from prior investigations into the events depicted in the YouTube video.
Clement's legal team later exposed evidence that Amos had stripped a three-star general of his authority to prosecute the accused Marines after the general refused to throw them out of the service as Amos desired.
The hearing continues Thursday with closing arguments. Following deliberation, the officers comprising the board will recommend whether Clement can stay in the Marine Corps.
The board members are: Col. Francis Donovan, director of the Expeditionary Warfare School in Quantico; Col. Harold Van Opdorp Jr., commanding officer of Quantico's Officer Candidate School; and Col. Calvert Worth Jr., director of Enlisted Professional Military Education for the Marine Corps.

Topic: Ideas to help pain during scans?
Does anyone have any ideas of how to deal with pain due to having to lay down and stretch out for a PET or CT scan? My father has had pain in his abdomen for some time, but until recently he thought it was related to the Whipple surgery that he had about a year ago. About a month ago the pain got worse and it became more clear that is probably due to the 2 tumors he has growing in the area. He is now on pain medication, which seems to be controlling the pain for the most part. But when he has to go in for a scan, he has terrible pain. I think it is because of the position he has to be in for the scan. While I haven't seen it, he described it as having to lay on his back, with his arms extending up above his head on the table. Laying down tends to be a more uncomfortable position for my Dad, and I figure having to put his arms up probably makes this position even worse. I was going to suggest putting a wedge under his knees but he said they already do that. I'm thinking my dad can't be the only person out there with this problem. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this problem or has ideas of how to make the scan more comfortable. I would really like to help him find a way to not be so miserable during those scans. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks for your help!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/6/2009 (2996 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG -Their longest season ever finished with the same kind of frustration Friday at the MTS Centre — the Manitoba Moose lost their last game.
This one was a little different but hurt no less, losing 4-1 to the Hershey Bears in Game 6 of the Calder Cup championship series, ending the best-of-seven series with a 4-2 Hershey edge.
It was the Bears' 10th AHL championship, which was not what the partying, sold-out crowd of 15,003 came to see.
The Moose, in existence only 13 seasons and only eight in the AHL fell two wins short of their first-ever championship by self-destructing in Friday's first period.
The visitors pumped the error-prone Moose for three goals in the first 11:16 of action, a perfect solution to neutralizing the largest crowd of these playoffs.
Hershey then coasted to the finish, keeping the Moose at bay to claim its second title in four years. The Bears last won in 2006, dousing the Milwaukee Admirals right in Milwaukee in the sixth game of that series.
One big reason the Bears outran the Moose in this final was special teams.
Manitoba didn't have a power-play goal after Game 2 of this series, a stellar accomplishment for Hershey's penalty-killing, which was ranked dead-last in the regular season.
The Moose didn't get their first opportunity until the final minute of Friday's second period and when they could have desperately used a goal going into the intermission, Hershey was better again.
When the advantage carried over for 1:17 into the third, Manitoba didn't get a single shot on goal out of the chance.
It all started badly for the home side, with an inattentive play behind his own goal by defenceman Nolan Baumgartner. The veteran blueliner didn't see an easy puck coming at him in time, it sailed past and eventually wound up in front of the Manitoba net for Kyle Wilson, who roofed his fourth of the playoffs.
Just more than two minutes later, junior-aged Cody Hodgson made a crucial error by flubbing a pass into the middle coming out of his own zone, and that immediately turned into Chris Bourque's screen-shot goal at 6:10.
And if 2-0 wasn't bad enough, later in the period, Moose forward Guillaume Desbiens tried to set up Baumgartner in the offensive zone but the pass was tipped to the neutral zone and Alexandre Giroux, the most dangerous man in the playoffs, skated in on a breakaway and deposited his league-leading 15th playoff goal behind Moose starter Cory Schneider.
There were still more than 48 minutes to play in the game but the crowd was simply in agony.
It wasn't until halfway through the second period until they found something to celebrate.
During a delayed penalty to Hershey, Hodgson atoned for his earlier error by helping to set up rookie Mario Bliznak with a perfect pass in the slot. Bliznak made no error, whipping a shot past the glove of Hershey goalie Michal Neuvirth.
And the Moose had some life after that, probably wishing that top centre Jason Krog had buried a glorious chance on a two-on-one later in the period. Neuvirth stopped that low attempt with a solid slide across his crease.
The Bears, who finished second in attendance in the playoffs (116,095-90,929) and the series (44,743-32,295), iced the puck several times in the third but were strong enough to keep the Moose away from Neuvirth for too many uncontested chances.
The Moose did press, with some help from the crowd, but had no more finish, even on their last power play with 4:03 to play when Jay Beagle shot the puck into the crowd.
Keith Aucoin then fired into the empty net with 20.2 seconds to play.

I was passing through the Richmond, VA area recently with my wife and daughter. We decided to stop and get a bite to eat. We were near a couple of BBQ joints, but I wanted to try a BBQ restaurant I hadn't yet visited. Near us was Q Barbeque in Midlothian. So, that's where we stopped.
The dining area was large, open, clean looking, and well laid out. There were trophies all over the restaurant from competitions the cooking team has won including some grand championship trophies.
On the menu was chicken, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. We decided to get the four meat combo that came with all four meats. I felt that the prices were fair. You order at a counter and a waiter delivers your food to your table. Behind the counter you can see into the kitchen area. They were also cooking chicken thighs in a cooker behind the counter.
All three of us shared the four meat combo and there was plenty of food. The portions were generous. In fact, there was a little left over. Not a bad deal to feed three people.
They serve three sauces: Original, Sa-weet, and Hotzing. The sauces were OK, but not my personal favorite. There is a strong molasses content to all three. The Hotzing has a slight bit more heat, but not really hot, in my opinion.I used a little sauce for the fries. The meat didn't need any sauce at all.
The chicken was superb. It was very flavorful, lightly seasoned, slightly smokey, and very moist and tender. It was the best BBQ chicken I have ever eaten in a BBQ restaurant.
The pulled pork was also very good. Like the chicken, it was moist, well seasoned with the right amount of smoke and tender.
The brisket was good and moist but very well done. There were no slices, just crumbles of beef. I made a sandwich with slaw with it. It had a nice beef flavor and wasn't dry or tough.
The ribs tasted great and looked great but, they were under cooked. It was a struggle to get some of the meat off the bone and some of the outside meat was too stringy too eat. Maybe, I just got a bad batch.
We ordered fries, mac&cheese, greens, and slaw. While not something to rave about, they were all acceptable.
Q BBQ is a cut above many other BBQ restaurants that I have tried. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly service. The chicken is superb and pulled pork is worth the trip. I look forward to going back and I will give them another chance at the ribs.

Did you know?
A group of mountain zebras is called a dazzle, a zeal, or a crossing.
Cape mountain zebras are quite singular little beasts. Found only in South Africa, they are unmistakable: compact, with chocolate-orange muzzles and an intriguing grid-iron pattern on their backs.
Unlike the more common Burchell's subspecies, mountain zebras have stripes all the way down to their hocks. They also have a strange dewlap or wattle hanging below their necks, and outsize ears.
Appealing as they are, mountain zebra conservation almost failed. In the 1930s, the population dipped below 100 individuals. Stock farmers would kill them because they were considered something of a pest
Mountain zebra conservation truly started when authorities bought a few small farms near the Karoo town of Cradock, their last stronghold. In 1937, the Mountain Zebra National Park was proclaimed, on only 1 712 hectares of land.
All the land contained was six mountain zebras (and only one female among them). By 1950, the mare and three stallions had died. The conservation of mountain zebra seemed a lost cause. Fortunately a farmer living next to the park had another 11 mountain zebras on his farm, and he exchanged them with the park in return for a number of blesbok.
The population crept up slowly to 25 by 1964, which was when farmer Paul Michau sold his farm to the national park. He had protected another 30 mountain zebras on his land, and with this boost, the population started to climb steadily.
The first five mountain zebras were trans-located to De Hoop Nature Reserve in 1975 and from then on, they have been trans-located to other mountainous parks every year. They now number over a 1000, and this charming zebra species is a few steps back from the brink.

How do you know when you have struck a nerve? When people with arguments based on pure emotion backed with no facts, decide to foam at the mouth. Earlier today I was alerted by Ms. Alkon that she had decided to author a response to my post entitled, "Feminism, What You Don't Know Could Fill A Handbook." The premise of this post was to encourage women who identify as DIY, post-structural, Marxist etc to become more public in their critique of third/second wave feminists. It is my belief that third/second wave feminists, have centered the feminist agenda around their needs, and this has resulted in a massive public backlash.
Of course rather than dealing with the issue presented, Ms.Alkon, and those of her ilk, have seen fit to once again make the debate about misandry, to avoid the issue that was presented to them. Nowhere in my original post do I advocate special privileges for women, nor do I specifically mention patriarchy, or the oppression of women. It seems that those that disavow feminism in favor of men's rights (read:Stockholm Syndrome), or out of a simple ignorance of what feminism means, are incapable of considering the larger applications of their assertions.
Ms. Alkon believes in equality, yet when I make a small grammar mistake, I am held to ridicule, however the same standards of perfection are apparently not necessary if you are parroting her position. Notice no commentary is made on Luljp's misspelling of vagina. You may posses one, however it is clearly not important to you that they are respected, or that the word is even spelled properly for that matter. I wish that I could report that this is all that you have evidenced a lack of respect for.
"If you're a lesbian, fine. If you're going to paint heterosexual sex as a criminal act by a man most of the time, you're scum, and anybody who's for justice, fairness and equality, should stand up against you."
Say it with me everyone…massive homophobic projection. You must have done very well at the Rush Limbaugh school of social equality, and I bet Phyllis Shyfly is on your Christmas card list. Feminist naturally equals lesbian, hardly an original thought. Now where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, from every single man that tried to belittle a woman who thought that she had the right to equality, and basic human dignity. Of course you mean to imply that being a lesbian is a negative thing. Of course anything woman centered, that does not involve phalocentric worship is despicable, and *gasp* dirty. Say it with me everyone…COLLUDER, in fact HOMPHOBIC COLLUDER is more accurate. Do you have any other mendacious myths that you would like to spread? Calling a feminist a lesbian, is an attempt to stigmatize based on the social construction of 'woman' as naturally submissive combined with the specific understanding that we exist for reproduction, and male sexual pleasure. If you don't spend 24 hours a day ruminating on how to make every prick a happy prick, you are an "unwoman". Margaret Atwood was thinking of women like you, when she wrote A Handmaids Tale.
"I'm against feminism because I'm against discrimination against men or anyone, and feminism is, far too often, a big whine for special treatment under the guise of equal treatment."
Right, because you are aware of all of the different forms of feminism, and you have spent a great deal of time studying feminist theory? This is a warning to everyone, Ms.Alkon is a clear example of a mind that has clearly internalized way to many episodes of Fox news broadcasts. Let's just listen to what brother patriarchy has to say about feminism, without for one minute stopping to think that he might be the least bit self interested. Of course men who have historically held the reigns of power are going to be honest about gender relations, because they are naturally inclined to share power with a group that they have oppressed since time began. That makes a whole lot of sense.
"Abelism"? I have to pass that one on to my friend John Callahan, the quadriplegic cartoonist, who will throw up while laughing.
I bet your best friend growing up was black as well?
Renee doesn't really want non-feminists to understand there are differences in feminism. She wants the leaders of the feminist monolith to convert to and promote her brand of feminism (womanism). She's tired of the "white suburban, mini van driving, soccer mom" or the [white] "urban 20 something New York socialite" being the face of feminism.
Do I really need to quote myself. "My feminism speaks to who I am as a person, it speaks to my needs, and desires, and it is certainly not representative of women at large." Just a few more moments of patience, while I break it down for the kool aid sippers. The idea is that feminism should open itself up to a diversity of voices so that the various lived experiences of women may be reified. Despite your scurrilous attempt to misrepresent me, I stand fast to the idea that a more inclusive feminism that disavows the concept of a monolithic woman, means a more open debate. On a short aside, If you are trying to impress me with your ability to research, you should probably not reference a site ( Wikki) that any idiot can edit at anytime.
Of course, Renee will will respond "later." She has to do some research first, find some good catch phrases to rip off of the NOW site and regurgitate.
I actually lead quite a full life, and I will not arrange my schedule to suite your whims. Sorry that you had to wait, but patience is something people usually acquire in childhood. As for me running to NOW to plagiarize, clearly you have difficulty with reading comprehension. The name of the blog is WOMANIST MUSINGS, which would necessarily indicate that I hold an opposite theoretical position to the women that run NOW. Your knowledge of feminist theory is overwhelming, as evidenced by the following, "Yes, there are many different shades of being a whining victim and speaking in that incomprehensible "post-structuralist" lingo and all that. Nothing about my post was remotely post structural. "There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender… Identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results." Now that is post structural theory courtesy of Judith Butler, but if you cannot comprehend the writing on this blog, Judith Butler would obviously be out of your league.
You throw catch words around like, equality and justice. You profess to believe that men and women are equal. Where exactly do you think the concept of gender equality came from in the first place? Could those possibly be the organizing principles of Liberal Feminism? But you are not a feminist right? All feminist think exactly the same way. There is no difference between your inane vitriolic rants, and those issued by the Ferraro/ Steinem crowd. You are both so interested in working an agenda that you forget that social change starts when people converse. I said that feminism is great but…the keyword is but. Once you heard that I had a positive view of feminism, you never stopped to hear that I might also think that it could be improved. You hear only what you want to hear, and ignore the ever so important word but… This is silencing behavior, and it is a tactic that second/third wave feminists have been using for years. It seems you share the same playbook. I know that you will misconstrue my words to mean the exact opposite of my intent because that is what ideologues do. As for the trolls in your commentary section, when I get around to it, if I can find even one rationale comment I will respond. For those of you that are lurking and questioning, don't take me at my word for it, research the different feminists theories and decide for yourself if they are really what you have been told they are.

LAKELAND, Fla. – After a successful 3-1 weekend at the Saint Leo Classic tournament, the Lions fell in four sets ( 25-19, 22-25, 25-23, 25-23) to the Florida Southern Mocs in opening Sunshine State Conference action, Tuesday evening at the Mocs' home gym.
It was a tough match for the Lions as the Mocs came out fighting, taking the first set by a score of 25-19 and holding the Lions to a less than .100 hitting percentage. Despite the Lions regaining their footing to take home the second set, the Mocs closed out the match by capturing sets three and four.
Despite the Mocs' strong defense and offense, three Lions collected double digit kills in the effort. Senior middle blocker Meghan Donovan and freshman standout Hope Lemon led the group with 13 kills each, followed by sophomore Jillian Stolzenburg, who totaled 11 for the evening.
In addition to the offense effort, five Lions earned double-digit digs; the first for the season. Junior libero Yaidimar Santiago dominated the court, collecting 21 digs on the day, while Lauren Campbell (18), Jaclyn Mailoto (16), Tawni Warren (13), and Molly Alexander (12) followed closely behind.
Despite the loss, Saint Leo tallied more digs and kills than the Mocs' team.
The Lions will return to the court on Sunday, Sep. 29 when they take on the Webber Warriors at home. The match is slated to begin at 2 pm.

viagra alternative herbal supplement Mechanism of Action
The physiologic mechanism of erection of the penis involves release of nitric oxide (NO) in the
corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. NO then activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase,
which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), producing smooth
muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and allowing inflow of blood. viagra alternative herbal supplement Sildenafil has no
direct relaxant effect on isolated human corpus cavernosum, but enhances the effect of nitric
oxide (NO) by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for degradation
of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. When sexual stimulation causes local release of NO,

ORLANDO, Fla. - Tired of your weak cellphone signal at home? A signal booster could be the fix you've been waiting for.
"Oh, it's night and day difference," said Jessica Garrett, who uses a signal booster from Sprint. "I don't think enough people do know about it and they should."
The device, about the size of a wireless router, acts like her own personal cellphone tower. You plug it into a power outlet and high-speed Internet. Then, your phone connects to your booster while at home, rather than a cellphone tower outside.
The booster then sends your phone signal through your home Internet, all the way to your cellphone network.
"Whenever it's on it boosts our signal, our calls never get dropped, our Internet goes faster on our phones," Garrett said. "It's extremely helpful, I don't know what we'd do without it."
In a test with Garrett's booster, she had a full five bars when it was plugged in. When she unplugged the booster, her phone dropped down to two bars.
The cellphone boosters can also help police, who are getting more cellphone calls than ever.
"We get about 20,000 calls into the communications center on average and what we've been able to figure is about 91 percent of those is from cellphones," said Sergeant John Bologna with the Winter Park Police Department.
With enhanced 911 services, a dispatcher sees your exact home address when calling 911 from a regular landline. Calling 911 from a cellphone does not work that way.
"With the cellphone it pings off several towers, so it gives us a general location but without having a person stay on the line and tell us exactly where they are, we would be driving around, looking for a person on the cellphone," Bologna said.
The cellphone booster devices can be programmed to provide an exact address to a dispatcher, just like a landline. It could add crucial seconds to response times. AT&T programs its boosters to tell dispatchers your exact address.
"911 calls placed over your 3G MicroCell will send the address you provide in your online registration to the emergency response center responsible for sending first responders (i.e. police, medical assistance or fire) to your location," AT&T said in its frequently asked questions section for its MicroCell.
"Your 3G MicroCell needs electrical power and Internet service to work. If a failure happens, all calls placed including 911 will NOT be connected through your 3G MicroCell," AT&T said.
During such a failure, the calls would go through the normal cell towers.
Sprint told Channel 4's sister station in Orlando, WKMG, that its booster called the Airave helps dispatchers find you in a different way.
"An Airave is considered an extension of our wireless network, so a 911 dispatcher will be able to locate a caller based on the nearest cell tower, and if applicable, can re-bid their system for longitude and latitude of te exact location. This depends on whether that PSAP has been fully integrated for e911 services," a Sprint spokesperson said.
A Verizon spokesman was still working to confirm exactly how its booster called a network extender helped dispatchers find callers.
A review of several cellphone company websites shows signal boosters range in price from about $100 to $250, but Garrett was able to get hers from Sprint for free. A Sprint spokesperson confirmed the decision to give a free device to a customer is made on a case by case basis. In other words, it can't hurt to ask.
The devices can be set up at both home and work. They're popular in large buildings with barriers blocking signal and in newer subdivisions near the edge of town, like where Garrett lives. She's even ditched her landline altogether.
"Technologies tend to sometimes be very unreliable, but with a booster like that, it's helping technology be more reliable," she said.

DOUGIE Freedman and his Wanderers side had plenty to think about while travelling the winding roads to Ipswich yesterday afternoon.
Off the pitch, the rush to bring finances into line for next season make these arguably the most troubled times since the end of Colin Todd's tenure 15 years ago.
On it, you could make a case that Todd had a better squad at his disposal the last time Wanderers were trying to cut their cloth accordingly, and there was definitely less of a pronounced gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots' in the second tier.
Frustration is evident around the terraces and both the manager and chairman Phil Gartside have come under fire. So too has a squad that despite all the cost-cutting attempts, is still clearly underperforming. Zat Knight – the player who has perhaps had to contend with most criticism from fans of late – admitted after Tuesday night's defeat against QPR that he felt more concerned about a relegation battle than any chase for mid-table and beyond.
It was a notable statement from the club captain, who despite all the flak that has come his way, has rarely wavered in his belief that a top six place can still be achieved.
A year ago Wanderers lost at Watford and questions were being asked of Freedman about a potential relegation battle.
His response was sharp and unequivocal – the club would soon be travelling in the right direction.
On Thursday he was equally sure that fortunes would change.
His target of a top six place may have been shelved for now – but the Scot is adamant that spirit in the camp has not been affected by a six-game winless streak in the league.
"I'm not sure luck is the right word," he said – anxious not to fall into the same traps as previous Wanderers managers had in the past. "But something has to change for us.
"We need to stick to what we are doing.
"If any fan went to QPR they saw which of the two sides were better on the night.
"There have been some disappointing moments and I've had my say on that. But I've never doubted the commitment they have. I've never doubted their spirit and the fact that I think they have performed well over the last couple of games makes me feel that their fortunes will change.
"Life can't keep being this unfair to this group of players. They have really stuck at it. If we go down to Ipswich and stick to our guns, create as many opportunities as we did at QPR then we will win the game."
Freedman has been pleased by the reaction of his squad after the 7-1 thrashing at Reading but back-to-back defeats against Cardiff in the cup and QPR in midweek have done little to calm the feeling of unease among fans.
The Scot insists that confidence is not a problem within the camp.
"Having seen the consistent performances I don't think belief has been affected," he told The Bolton News. "I felt we were good against Cardiff and it could have gone any way. "We went to QPR and really took the game to them and looked full of confidence. "If anything we've just lost that winning feeling. But I really don't think it's far away at all and I honestly mean that."

Contrary to popular belief, being a child isn't all fun and games. Everyday moments that thrill some children – like making new friends, riding in an airplane or going to a new school – provoke anxiety in other children, and sometimes, children face extraordinary situations, like illnesses or injuries, which cause additional stress.
Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to help ease your child's anxiety. Here are some tips:
After a long, cold winter, Spring is a welcome change. The season brings open windows, fresh air, blooming buds and – for many – Spring cleaning. The deep cleaning ritual typically involves scrubbing floors and windows, washing and replacing heavy linens and window coverings and returning to long neglected yard work.
We all make resolutions to eat healthier, exercise more, cut out junk food or join a gym. Whether the goal is to lose weight, gain strength or make healthier choices, we often look for the easiest means to the end.
Most people are aware that exercising in the water offers great benefits for people with joint issues, such as arthritis. But did you know that aquatic therapy also helps people with neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease (PD)?
Often associated with aging, osteoporosis is a silent disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration. The bone becomes porous and therefore fragile and susceptible to fracture. The price tag of osteoporosis is high and the human cost even higher as it interferes with activities of daily living and/or contributes to other health complications.
In health care, a diagnostic test is any kind of medical test performed to aid in the diagnosis or detection of disease. EMG is short hand for "electromyography," which is a diagnostic test, much like an EKG or X-ray. The EMG measures the muscle response or electrical activity of muscles at rest and during movement or contraction.
An EMG is administered to:
Quality health care is a team effort that includes doctors, nurses, pharmacists, insurance providers and, most importantly, patients and loved ones. You can play an active role in your health care by:
The study of a person's style of walking or running – referred to as "gait" – can be a very helpful and accurate clinical tool. Clinical gait analysis is the process of measuring a person's walking/running characteristics and identifying abnormalities to assist in treatment decisions for persons with complex and not easily understood walking problems.
When our calendars are bursting at the seams with work, household responsibilities and activities, feeling tired from time to time is almost expected. Cancer-related fatigue is very different and goes beyond feeling tired. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, the well-documented phenomenon is the most common side effect of cancer treatment.
Bowel dysfunction is a life altering consequence of a spinal cord injury (SCI) or other neurological disorders. It affects the physical, social and emotional well-being of people with spinal cord injuries and can result in fecal incontinence or severe constipation.

April 4, 2008
14.5 miles in 1:55 / ave pace 8:03 / hr ave 150, 170 max / Alpine Figure 8 + Temple loop
Decided to do long run today for various reasons. "E" couldn't go Saturday and I wasn't up for the gang - that and I couldn't be gone that long. We did a 4 mile tempo.
April 5, 2008
6 miles on treadmill
Very theraputic. I must work hard at not getting discouraged about everything.
April 7, 2008
10 miles in 1:22 / ave pace 8:10 / hr 151, 167 / AF Canyon Loop
Good run. Doctor appointment today to see if Spouse will have surgery.
April 8, 2008
7 miles on treadmill
Spouse had surgery today. They said it'd be about 4-6 hours, so I found a Gold's Gym nearby and pounded out the tension and anxiety. Did 3 miles at 6:54 pace with 2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down.
April 9, 2008
10 miles in 1:20 / ave pace 7:54 / hr 151, 174 / Provo Bench Loop
Mom took the kids and we all slept at her house. Thankfully I was able to get a run in before the Rodeo of Pain happened to Spouse later. Would take two days off for exhaustion (and I'm not even the one with the pain).
April 12, 2008
11.5 in 1:28 / ave pace 1:41 / hr 159, 181 / Temple Loop
Great run! Started out sobbing but everything turned out great. Did a 3 mile tempo, 6:27, 6:43, 6:47. Talked to Spouse and we decided I'd still go to Boston if we could find people to come stay here. I feel selfish.
April 14, 2008
8.5 in 1:08 / ave pace 8:03 / hr 138, 164 / Equestrian Loop
I'm going to Boston. Didn't know for sure if I could go but it looks like I'll be able to go. Spouse is doing so much better today. Ran with "E"; both of us were pretty tired. We took it easy most of the run, but did a few pickups and a couple of miles with a bit more effort.
April 19, 2008
Flew to Boston.
April 20, 2008
Walked all over Tarnation.Watched the Women's Olympic Trial Marathon.
April 21, 2008
26.2 in 3:23 / ave pace 7:47 / hr 157, 176 max / Boston Marathon
Yipee! Will write more later. Okay it's later. I had the best time in the race. It felt easier than most. I'm starting to believe that I don't need a hundred 20+ milers to do well in a marathon. The trip was fun too. I did blister up pretty good though. Lost milimeters of skin on the ball and pinky of my left foot. Couldn't wear a shoe. The pinky toenail went bye-bye too. Hurt like hell in the airplane on the way home. Hillene wanted me to get a wheelchair during the layover in Denver, but you know, Spouse is in a wheelchair and we can't have two in a wheelchair. I freaked out on her. Then the pain was so bad I had to lay on the floor in the airport with my foot elevated. How the heck does Spouse handle two crushed heels? Then I begged Hillene to just cut off my foot and be done with it. Yes. That bad. Pressure is bad. Hillene said no, let's pop it and tried to do so with an earring. Sadly, the earring was too blunt. Hillene disappeared on me for a while and returned with the on-call medic for the airport, in the which she rudely interrupted his date with a hunting show. Deer? Elk? Can't remember. He took us to his little office full of medical supplies. Handed her a needle and she poked. I've never felt relief like that in all of my days. Hunter-crazed medic wasn't much help. Made Hillene do all the work while he watched his huntin' show. Note to self: Don't have a heart attack at the Denver airport.
We Have Matching Jackets!
(Rocking chairs at the Boston Airport!?)
Loads of this...
General notes:
- Spouse will need water with ice on occasion, 1 tsp metamucel in a glass of water at breakfast, quiet words of encouragement, a joke a day, and plenty of redneck porn.
- Clothes for Spouse are on the dresser… he should be able to get himself dressed. He might need a sponge bath (which he can do himself, unless of course you want to help). He should also be able to brush his teeth, etc.
- Yahoo #1 is responsible for emptying Spouse's pot and urinal. Rubber gloves under bathroom sink.
- You don't have to be there the whole time… maybe just meals and check to make sure everything is okay.
- Yahoo #1 will go to school at 9:00.
- Yahoo #2 will go to school at 9:25 on Tuesday
- If you have any questions, call me or ask Spouse. He knows where most things are and can crawl now!

CARING pupils, staff and parents at a Halesowen school had a dotty day of dancing and enterprise to raise funds for Children in Need.
Mum Mary Ryder spearheaded the fundraising at Caslon Primary School with help from a couple of parents and nursery teacher Becky Fellows led a danceathon, which ran throughout the day.
Deputy headteacher Karen Brass said: "It was an amazing day. All parents, teachers and children participated throughout the day and looked exhausted but happy at the end."
Pupils paid 50p each to wear spotty clothes and, as well as dancing, the young entrepreneurs made Pudsey Bear soft toys, cakes and biscuits to sell, raising more than £100 for the appeal.
Mrs Brass said the day was also used to teach them the importance of keeping fit and healthy.

Ok, that title sounds a bit odd....
Anyway, simple question (I hope).
Doing the beer can chicken thing (but using the Weber poultry roaster setup which does the same thing). Have a gas grill. Chicken cooked fine, but skin was not crispy. Called Weber and they told me using gas won't give crispy skin like charcoal.
Say it ain't so !!

Both of Corsham's fire crews were called to Light Close on Saturday, when an electrical fire broke out in an end-of-terrace house.
Firefighters used water jets to put out the fire and mechanical ventilation systems to clear the building of smoke.
The other three properties in the terrace suffered minor smoke damage, and needed windows to be opened to ventilate them.

"Evolution in the act" claim biologists, according to a report in ScienceDaily 18 March 2011. Scientists at University of Florida (UF) have studied a plant named Tragopogon miscellus, a species of daisy that originated when two species introduced from Europe cross bred and produced hybrid offspring. This natural hybridisation had happened before in Europe but the offspring never did well. The American hybrids were larger and spread quickly because the hybridisation process doubled the number of chromosomes. To confirm this, the researchers made artificial hybrids with double the chromosomes. They expected the hybrids to show a combination of the parent plants characteristics, but they found greater variation in subsequent generations. Richard Buggs, who worked on the study, explained "What we found was a surprise. It's as if hybridization and chromosome doubling hit a reset button on gene expression, turning them all on - this could allow subsequent generations to experiment by switching off different genes." Doug Soltis, a professor in UF's biology department and study co-author commented: "We caught evolution in the act. New and diverse patterns of gene expression may allow the new species to rapidly adapt in new environments."
Editorial Comment: New plants with doubled sets of chromosomes occasionally occur naturally (as in this case) or can be made by deliberate manipulation using chemicals such as colchicines. The chromosome multiplying process has been labelled 'polyploidy'. The most obvious result of having a "doubled chromosome" number is that these offspring can no longer interbreed with the parent plants, so technically they are labelled a new species, but no evolution has occurred. The recombination of genes brought about by such chromosome doubling has brought out genetic variation that was already built in, but no new genes have come about. So these new and diverse patterns of gene expression are not evolution, even though we can and do artificially use such techniques for increasing size and number of leaves or petals.
As this study shows, new species can come about by genes being regrouped and redistributed, but despite the hope of evolutionists that new genes might come about from such a process – none have been observed to happen in the hundred years we have been seriously watching such crosses, and science is about observing the real world – not the theoretical one. In the words of this editor's Genetics professor at Queensland University – polyploidy is an evolutionary dead end. Hybridisation and chromosome doubling show us that the origin of species is not the same as evolution. Just like natural selection, speciation by chromosome multiplication is a real biological process, but it is not evolution. (Ref. botany, genetics, tetraploid)

Special-interest groups today sent a petition with over 5,000 signatures to the state Appellate Court urging for all ballots to be counted in the 46th Senate District race, Gannett's Haley Viccaro reports.
The undecided Senate race with Republican George Amedore against Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk is the only remaining undecided Senate seat. Tkaczyk plans to meet with the state Appellate Court on Monday to request that all ballots be counted.
The petition asks the court to rule that the remaining 331 ballots be opened and counted.
"Over 5,000 people from across the state – and almost 1,000 in the 46th district alone – are counting on this appellate court to protect the core value of our democracy: one person, one vote," said Karen Scharff, executive director of Citizen Action of New York, in a statement.
The Appellate Court will hear arguments from voters in the case on Monday.

Don't Ignore Sibling Bullying
When brothers and sisters pick on, harass, hit, punch, kick, insult and generally harass other siblings they're not typically identified as bullies. The response is more often kids will be kids. But if the same treatment is launched against a peer at school they could suffer some pretty hefty consequences such as expulsion, being arrested on an assault charge, fined or put in detention.
Many times sibling conflicts seem to get a free ride. It's not that parents don't eventually step in and stop prolonged fights or separate siblings when things get too out of hand they often do but it's seldom considered bullying. New research suggests that children do see it as being bullied by a brother or sister and that it is harmful to a child or teenager's mental health.
A new study published in the journal Pediatrics looked at the mental health consequences of bullying between siblings.
Historically, sibling aggression has been unrecognized, or often minimized or dismissed, and in some cases people believe it's benign or even good for learning about conflict in other relationships, says Corinna Jenkins Tucker, lead author of the paper and an associate professor of family studies at the University of New Hampshire.
That's generally not the case in peer relationships. There appears to be different norms for what is accepted. What is acceptable between siblings is generally not acceptable between peers.
The line between normal sibling mischievousness and hostility or violence is a little uncertain sometimes. The age of the child can make a big difference. Younger children tend to act out more on impulse, but as they get older more thought can go into devising an attack or humiliation. That's where the line gets a little clearer.
Having to deal with sibling conflict and competitiveness is one way children learn to negotiate their way through life. Early on they can begin to learn constructive ways to handle disagreements, sharing and standing up for them-selves.
If siblings fight and argue, that doesn't necessarily mean that there is bullying taking place. But there are signs that point to more than just normal sibling rivalry. Some indications that can signal when a child is being bullied by a sibling are:
- One child is always the aggressor and one is always the victim.
- A child is afraid to be left alone with a certain sibling or siblings.
- Bruising or evidence of physical assault.
- Verbal hostility directed at a particular sibling.
- Fascination with violence by the aggressive sibling.
Tucker's report used data from The National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence, a phone survey that collected the experiences of 3,599 children aged 1 month to 17 years who had at least one sibling younger than 18 living in the household at the time of the interview. One child was randomly selected to be the subject of three telephone interviews.
Children ages 10 to 17 answered the questions themselves; for children younger than 10, the parents answered the questions. The researcher acknowledged a potential limitation of the study because some parents may not know what goes on between siblings when they are not around to witness it.
The studys interviewers asked about incidences of sibling aggression in the past year, and they also assessed mental health by asking how often the children experienced anger, depression and anxiety.
Of the children interviewed (or interviewed by proxy), 32 percent reported experiencing at least one type of sibling victimization in the past year. Researchers found that all types of sibling aggression, both mild and severe, were associated with significantly higher distress symptom scores for both children and adolescents, the study authors write.
Rules about bullying at schools have grown much clearer. There's a list of acceptable and unacceptable behavior. While bullying by peers can have very hurtful consequences " imagine sharing a bedroom or home with your worst nightmare. You may have a place where you can escape to at school, but not at home.
Parenting is both difficult and rewarding. You're not going to be able to keep your kids from getting angry at one another. They are going to fight and fuss. But, you can keep an eye on the level of aggression and draw the line at certain actions. Encourage your children to tell you when they feel bullied. Also encourage resolution building. Family conferences may seem old fashioned, but they are helpful in giving everyone a chance to speak their minds and work on less aggressive solutions. If a child is continuously aggressive and abusive, he or she may need professional help. Talk to your pediatrician or family doctor about pediatric or adolescent mental health resources.
A home should be a place where your child feels loved and safe, not a battleground.
