Ramona High School's track and field athletes set two school records and one meet record at the Jaguar Invitational meet April 17 at Valley Center High School.
Tyler Jordan's distance in the boys high jump of 6'8" not only won the meet but also gave the senior a new school record, bettering the 6'7" he had cleared last year. Jordan was an inch short of the meet record of 6'9", but instead of trying to clear that distance he had the bar set at 6'10" and was narrowly unsuccessful trying to clear the higher elevation.
The distance is also the highest for any athlete in the CIF San Diego Section this season.
The boys 4x100 relay team of Zach Kovach, Seth Drake, Nate Lutu and Ryan Morgan won their event with a time of 42.94 seconds, which also set a school record. Dean Faddis, Morgan, Lutu and Drake ran the 4x100 in 42.95 seconds last year.
The 2010 time was the third-fastest of the year for a San Diego Section relay team.
Jordan's previous high jump record and the relegated 4x100 record had been set on May 23, 2009, during the CIF preliminary meet.
The boys 4x400 team of Kovach, Walker Poortinga, Tim Wertz and Morgan set a meet record with a time of 3:22.97, which was also the fastest San Diego Section time of the year.
Morgan added wins in the individual 200-meter and 400-meter races, Preston Johnson took first place in the boys shot put, and Logan Peterson had the longest boys discus throw.
"We got a lot of first place finishes in an invitational, which bodes well for the end of the season," said Ramona head coach Steve Albanese.
In Ramona's first track and field competition since the Elite Eight Invitational meet on April 3, the Bulldogs traveled to Orange Glen for an April 15 dual meet. The boys and the girls improved their records in league dual meets to 2-1. The boys won by a 102-30 score while the girls were on the top end of a 95-33 margin.
"It was kind of a tuneup for our big invitational," Albanese said.
The Orange Glen meet saw Ramona take first place in 13 of the 16 boys events and 11 of the 16 girls events. Jordan cleared 6'4" in the high jump while winning the long jump with a distance of 18'7", and Becca Hickle won two individual girls events with a long jump of 13 feet 2-1/2 inches and a triple jump of 28 feet 6 inches.
Johnson threw the shot put 48'5", Peterson hurled the discus 148'0", Jared Engler's distance of 12'6" won the boys pole vault while Ali Geber had the top girls pole vault distance of 6'0", and Sydney Manley won the girls high jump by clearing 4'0".
The dual meet saw Ramona win the boys 4x100, girls 4x100, boys 4x400, and girls 4x400 relays. The boys winners included Morgan in the 100-meter dash, Kovach in the 200-meter dash, Dylan Blankenbaker in the 1,600-meter run, Chance Varnardo-Richardson in the 3,200-meter race, Daniel Drake in the 110-meter hurdles, and Quincy Watts in the 300-meter hurdles. First place finishers in girls running events included Caitlin Choy in the 200-meter dash, Kendall Kohler in the 400-meter race, Lauren Cortez in the 1,600-meter event, Chelsey Cortez in the 3,200-meter contest, and Kelly Helman in the 100-meter hurdles.
"It's on a dirt track, so the times are quite slower," Albanese said of the Orange Glen performances.
At the Jaguar Invitational Morgan had a time of 22.43 seconds to win the 200-yard dash. Kovach's time of 22.52 seconds won his heat while placing second overall behind Morgan. Morgan won the 400-yard dash with a time of 49.83 seconds while Wertz's time of 52.65 seconds in that event placed second in his heat and eighth overall. Peterson threw the discus 149'7" while Quinten Wright was third with a throw of 140'0". Johnson's winning shot put toss went 47 feet 0-1/2 inches and Peterson threw the shot put 39 feet 10 inches to place 12th.
In the 100-meter dash Kovach won his heat and was second overall with a time of 11.19 seconds while Seth Drake was third overall and second in his heat at 11.30 seconds. Daniel Drake won his 110-meter hurdles heat, although his time of 16.90 seconds placed tenth overall.
Chelsey Cortez ran the girls 3,200-meter race in 11:25 to finish second. In the boys 3,200-meter race Blankenbaker's time of 9:45.50 placed second, Varnardo-Richardson was fourth at 9:54.86, and Alec Richardson finished seventh with a time of 9:58.42. All three boys times were personal records.
Varnardo-Richardson also set a personal record in the boys 1,600-meter run with a time of 4:38.52, which placed eighth. In the boys 800-meter race Nathan Morgan's time of 2:02.11 placed second in his heat and third overall.
Erika Stinchcomb's time of 1:01.90 in the girls 400-meter run was the second-fastest in her heat and placed eighth overall.
Kohler had a time of 1:02.62 in that event to place 10th.
Ramona's girls 4x400 relay team of Kohler, Tessa Balcom, Amy Jordan and Stinchcomb had a sixth-place time of 4:22.09.
Trevor Dotson was fifth in the boys long jump at 20 feet 4-1/2 inches. Evan Bray and Engler both cleared 11'0" in the pole vault, which was the eighth-place distance. Ramona's best finish in a girls field event was the 89'9" discus throw of Kayla Lawler, which shared 10th place.
The Bulldogs return to Valley Center today for a Valley League dual meet.

The Three Best and Worst Things You Can Do for Your Heart
Contact Information
MADISON — Taking care of your heart is hard.
Or it can certainly seem that way. Heart disease remains the number one killer of men and women in the United States — that part is easy to grasp. Yet every week seems to bring a news report or study that identifies a new threat to one of your body's most vital organs.
But heart health doesn't have to be confusing or complicated. To simplify, heart experts at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health have boiled the question down to the three best — and the three worst — things you can do for your heart.
"If you can incorporate these things into your daily life, you're giving yourself a much better chance to enjoy a long and healthy life, free of heart disease," says James Stein, MD, FACC, director of preventive cardiology at UW Hospital and Clinics and professor of medicine at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.
Let's start with the bad news. If you're doing any of the following, you're increasing your chances of heart disease.
Puffing. If you're one of the millions of Americans who are still smoking, know this: With every puff, you're dramatically increasing your chances of suffering a life-threatening heart attack. The chemicals in tobacco smoke raise blood pressure, reduce good cholesterol (HDL) and damage your blood vessels. But if you can find a way to quit and stay away from smoking permanently, you can reduce your risk almost immediately, and eliminate tobacco's negative effects within three years.
"There's really no more significant thing you can do to improve the health of your heart than quitting smoking," says Michael Fiore, MPH, MD, who heads the UW Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention. "It's startling how much it can reduce your risk."
Finishing the entire six-pack: While several recent studies have suggested that consuming moderate amounts of red wine may be beneficial to the heart, excessive drinking of wine, beer or hard liquor can result in both weight gain (see next item) and increased blood pressure. And if you're a chronically heavy drinker, you're poisoning your heart and risking cardiomyopathy—an enlarged and permanently damaged heart.
"Alcohol's effect on the heart is not straightforward," says Stein. "But a good general rule of thumb is not to drink alcohol for heart health. If you do drink alcohol, drink only in moderation. That means no more than one ounce of hard liquor, four ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer per day."
Inflating the spare tire. Researchers have recently discovered that belly fat — in other words, a sizable spare tire — is a huge predictor of heart disease risk. In fact, at least one recent study has suggested that for every two inches you add to your gut, your risk of heart disease increases nearly 20 percent.
Now for the positive steps:
Get a risk assessment. Most Americans are dangerously unaware of how much their age, genetics and lifestyle choices affect the health of their heart. UW experts agree that assessing your risk of a heart attack or death is the single most important thing you can do.
Your doctor can help you identify the important numbers — your blood pressure and your cholesterol — and assess your risk. Or you can use a helpful online tool to do this assessment at home.
"If you're middle-aged and have more than one risk factor for heart disease — family history, hypertension, smoking or abnormal cholesterol, for instance — you also should think seriously about having a picture of your arteries taken," says Stein. He has pioneered the use of ultrasound scanning to measure the amount of plaque on the walls of the carotid arteries as a means of assessing a patient's risk of heart disease.
Reduce your weight. Notice the distinct absence of the word "diet." While losing weight is the ultimate goal in terms of keeping your heart healthy, UW experts urge getting there through eating smaller portions of healthy foods, not by experimenting with the latest fad diet or forgoing food altogether.
"The question really comes down to the type and amount of food you're eating," says Matt Wolff, MD, FACC, chief of cardiovascular medicine at UW Hospital and Clinics. "Not every diet is designed to help you have a healthy heart. Healthy diets are low in red meat, fried foods and sweets. They emphasize fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grain, fish and poultry."
Exercise. Outside of eating right, the best way to reduce your weight is getting off the couch and doing something, anything, to stimulate your heart muscle.
"The more you exercise, the better you'll do," says Stein. "Find ways to burn energy. Even walking for half an hour three times a week can have a positive effect on your heart's health."
Three up, three down. Your heart will thank you for it.

If you ask just about anyone on the Burroughs High boys soccer team, each individual would likely say it's better to be lucky than good. Especially after Monday's match against Crescenta Valley.
The Indians played well, but their cause was helped by the fact that they scored late in the second half on a fluke goal, of sorts, to prevail with a 2-1 victory in a Pacific League showdown against the Falcons, the top-ranked team in Southern Section Division III.
"Take nothing away from Burroughs, that team deserved to win. Still, if you're going to win a game, or make a run at a league title, things have to bounce your way," Crescenta Valley coach Grant Clark said.
Therein lies the key for the Indians (7-2-3, 3-0) as they benefited against Crescenta Valley (13-2-2, 2-1) when a shot from V.J. Salazar was redirected for the winning goal in the 71st minute.
Burroughs also showed some resolve in playing without coach Mike Kodama, who had a prior commitment. Nevertheless, the plan remained the same under assistant Oscar Sanchez.
With or without Kodama, defeating Crescenta Valley was no small task.
"Coming in, we were prepared and knew what was at stake," Burroughs senior captain Brandon Gerlach said. "Once the ball started rolling in our direction, we knew it was going to be a good day."
Burroughs' desire was rewarded in the 36th minute when Andres Aguilar scored on a free kick from 22 yards, near post, to give the Indians a 1-0 advantage.
With a 2-0 lead in the second half, and the match in extra time, the Falcons finally got on the board. Justin Wright found the back of the net on a free kick from 25 yards out. It was too little too late, however.
"We didn't capitalize on our chances and they did, plain and simple," Clark said. "I mean, we hit the post four times. Plus, we made too many mistakes. You can't do that against a team like Burroughs."
Alberto Meir played well from start to finish for the Indians. The senior goalkeeper had five saves, with three coming in the final minutes as Crescenta Valley attempted to mount a comeback.
"Nothing changes, I knew what I had to do because coach Kodama was not here and the players knew what needed to be done," Sanchez said. "We were confident and also had some things go our way."
Defender Daniel Eng did his job, and then some, along the backline for the Falcons. His effort, in fact, made things somewhat easier for goalkeeper Chris Mardiroussian, who finished with two saves.

Got the free Toyota maintenance with my new Corolla. Now at 3K miles.
The first free 5K service covers an oil change only under "severe" conditions when synthetic oil is specified for the car. I only drive in the city and feel my service is severe. Did 3K changes with conventional oil on my 2008.
I may fight since I do mostly short trips and might be able to justify the "severe" status.
So what do you members think? Is 10K a safe interval with synthetic or should I just do it every 5K? What are other 2013 owners doing?
When I worked at Mobil HQ and Mobil 1 was coming online, we tested NYC taxis with 25K intervals and all went well. However, the cabs run 24/7 and burn off impurities. No manufacturer would keep a warranty in effect unless their schedule was followed.

Veteran linebacker Chad Greenway, who is dealing with a wrist injury that head coach Mike Zimmer downplayed this morning, was dressed for practice today. But after participating in some of the individual drills at the start of the practice, Greenway spent the rest of the afternoon on the sideline.
Afterward, Greenway, who had a black brace on his right wrist, said he expects to practice tomorrow.
"It's feeling pretty good and hopefully we'll be able to push forward," Greenway said.
Still, the injury is worth monitoring because it is the same wrist that Greenway fractured a season ago, when he played all 16 games despite the injury. Greenway did not have surgery on it after the season, instead going the rest-and-rehab route.
Greenway playfully joked that Zimmer was overreacting a little bit by holding him out today.
"I think he just thinks I'm getting old maybe," Greenway said. "Obviously, when I had the issue with it last year it makes it a little more [noteworthy], wanting to take care of it. I know what it was like to go through the entire season with it last year and I don't want to go through that again. I think we did a good job of figuring it all out and getting it taken care of."
And no, if you're wondering, Greenway did not tweak his wrist pouring ice water on Mark Craig yesterday. He laughed when I asked him if that's what did it.
With Greenway and rookie Brandon Watts, who has a lower leg injury, watching from the sideline, second-year player Michael Mauti got an opportunity as the weak-side linebacker for the first-team defense. Hopefully for his sake, Mauti, who is firmly on the roster bubble, made a good impression.
Beyond Greenway, also missing from today's practice were running back Adrian Peterson (personal matter), linebacker Gerald Hodges (knee), nose tackle Linval Joseph (calf), cornerback Jabari Price (arm/shoulder), and tight end Chase Ford (foot). Rookie wide receiver Kain Colter briefly left practice with one of the athletic trainers, but returned with his right hand taped up.
Making his practice debut was new linebacker Justin Jackson. The rookie was wearing No. 45.
Robert Blanton, Chris Crocker and Kurt Coleman split the first-team reps next to Harrison Smith.
Christian Ponder had a busy practice running the scout team as the Vikings prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs. Ponder saw a lot of action with some of the other third-stringers against the starters and second-string defense. Smith didn't make it easy for Ponder, picking off one of his deep throws over the middle and getting his hands on a couple other passes that could have been picked off.

Agents and insurance companies say portion of health care law is hurting business
Naples insurance agent Mark Fiacable says a part of the federal health care act destroyed his business and caused him to lose his home.
Joan Galletta, who works at a Jacksonville insurance agency, says the same provision of the law led to staff cutbacks and a co-worker who left the industry because revenue decreased.
In Pompano Beach, insurance agent William Kohn says he can't afford to hire an assistant, which is affecting the quality of service at his business.
They all blame their losses on a portion of the federal health care law that mandates insurance companies spend at least 80 percent of premium dollars from individual plans on medical costs. Companies that failed to meet the threshold in 2011 must issue rebates to customers this year.
In an attempt to reduce overhead costs to comply with the law, insurance companies are reducing agent commissions and eliminating referral fees, according to letters and emails state insurance regulators released Friday. These documents were sent to the federal government to support the state's argument that it should be granted flexibility under the 80-20 rule, known as the medical loss ratio provision.
Some of the same arguments contained in the letters sent Friday have already been rejected by the federal government, which last month said it was rejecting the state's request for a waiver under the new rule. But Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to reconsider.

Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards
FAQ/Walkthrough by ZaphodBblbrx1
Version: VGA Versio | Updated: 08/29/12 | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
LEISURE SUIT LARRY in
New VGA version
Author: Christopher Sutler
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
This is a step-by-step walkthrough of the VGA remake of Leisure Suit Larry In
The Land Of The Lounge Lizard (henceforth referred to as LSL to save typing).
As the puzzles are mostly the same between the two versions, it may be possible
to use this guide for the original release, and it will not take much work to
convert the icon commands to text input.
Larry Laffer is a balding middle-aged nerd who has come to the town of Lost
Wages with one single goal in mind--to finally lose his virginity. There must
be some woman somewhere in this town who is desperate enough, right? Okay, so
not much plot, but there are a variety of puzzles to solve in order to achieve
this goal, and a couple of "side quests" that don't help you win the game but
give you the maximum number of points.
Now get ready to explore the not-so-large town of Lost Wages with everyone's
favorite middle-aged-balding-leisure-suit-wearing-computer-generated nerd,
Leisure Suit
This walkthrough was written May 25, 2005 by Christopher Sutler. Updated
August 29, 2012. All rights tossed out the window. If you want to post it on
your site or link to it or use it to wrap fish or housebreak your dog, just
e-mail me and ask. I will usually say yes, as long as I get credit and you
clean the dog poop off it afterward. If you plagiarize it I will hunt you down
and torture you with extreme prejudice.
The game uses Sierra's new(ish) point-and-click interface. By the use of icons
for various actions, Larry can perform all the necessary actions with no typing
(or almost none). The icons are as follows:
WALK -- Larry will walk to the last place the walk cursor was clicked. He will
usually walk around objects that are in his way.
EYE -- Use this icon to get a description of things in Larry's current
location. Doing this can sometimes yield hints as to solutions to puzzles in
the game.
HAND -- This icon is used to manipulate objects in the game. This can mean
take, push, open, touch, or a variety of other actions.
TALK -- Use this icon to talk to people. Also use it on taxi signs to catch a
ZIPPER -- This icon should be self-explanatory, but for those who can't figure
it out, this is used whenever Larry might need to unzip his pants (for whatever
NOSE & MOUTH -- These icons can be used to smell or taste objects. I have
personally not found much use for this in the game, except for once
(see the Walkthrough).
WINDOW -- This shows the current active item. You can click here to use the
icon without accessing the inventory.
SUITCASE -- This icon is used to access Larry's inventory. Whenever you choose
an object, the cursor will change to the object and you can then click the
object cursor where you want to use or place the object.
OPTIONS -- Adjust the game settings, and allows you to save your game, restore,
or quit.
HELP -- Click this on any of the icons to find out what I just told you about
You can also right-click the mouse to cycle through the icons.
You will have to answer some trivia questions to "verify your age." Some of
the questions are pretty funny, some are lame, and some are serious. If you
miss more than one, the game will kick you out. If you want to skip the trivia
test, simply press Ctrl + Alt + X and you will skip to the copy-protection
question. You must have the original documentation to answer this, unless you
just make a lucky guess.
I have been asked if I can post the answers to the copy protection questions in
a FAQ. The answer is no. For legal reasons, I can't, and for moral reasons, I
won't. If you don't have a legal copy of the game, then you can't play it.
Simple as that.
Examine everything. That's why the eye icon is there. There are sometimes
valuable clues hidden in item descriptions, or at least some attempts at humor.
Save often. In adventure games, death or failure is a very real possibility.
Even if you don't die, sometimes you might do something wrong, or forget to do
something right, that will prevent you from completing the game. Saving means
that if you do mess up, you don't have to start all over from the beginning.
Use your breath spray. Bad breath doesn't impress girls, and it will turn bad
during the game. If you run out, you can always purchase more.
Stay out of dark alleys. This is simply common sense.
Larry starts out in front of Lefty's Bar. Look around a bit, then open the
door and walk inside.
Walk over to the empty stool and sit down. You're here for a drink, so talk to
the bartender and order a drink. The one you really need is the whiskey. Now
get your butt off that stool and head into the hallway.
Take the rose from the table and walk over to the drunk (walk between his
legs). Talk to him. Wants a drink, does he? Give him the whiskey to get his
most prized possession--a TV remote control? Might be useful if you find a TV
somewhere. Now go open the bathroom door.
There's some interesting grafitti on the walls, so read it all. The password
might come in handy. Use the toilet. Make sure you click the hand icon on the
bowl, otherwise you will flush the toilet and this is deadly. After a couple
of tasteless remarks, use the hand icon to get back up. You can also use the
zipper icon on the toilet to do a "number one." Now walk over to the sink and
look inside. Take the diamond ring. Leave the bathroom and go back outside to
the street. Ignore the other door in the bar for now.
You'll need a taxi, so use the talk icon on the taxi sign to call one. Get in
and talk to the cabbie. He'll tell you about the various locations. For now,
you want to go to the convenience store. Make sure you always pay the cabbie
BEFORE you get out of the cab, otherwise he'll think you're trying to stiff him.
Ignore the wino for now--don't worry, he'll reappear. Look at the phone and
dial the number you find. Answer the questions however you like. Also, reach
inside your wallet and find the business cards, then call the number on the
business card for points.
Go into the store. Walk over to the magazine rack. Look at them, then take
one. Read it for points and a hint for later. Go to the liquor rack at the
back and get some wine. Go to the counter and look at the small red sign next
to the register, then talk to the clerk to get some "protection." Choose
whatever your preferences are. Pay the clerk and then leave the store.
The old wino will reappear at this point and again ask for money. If you wait
at this point, he will then ask for wine instead. Give him the bottle of wine
you just purchased and he'll give you his pocketknife. If you took the survey,
the phone will be ringing, so answer it.
Call another cab and go to the casino. Time to win some extra cash. Walk up
to the automatic doors and go in.
GLITCH ALERT! Sometimes, when you go into the casino, Larry will stop just
inside the doors. The doors will close and Larry will get "stuck." If this
happens there is no way to get out. Always save before you go inside, so if
this happens you can just restore.
UPDATE: A way to avoid this glitch is to walk toward the doors, and stop when
they open, then click the WALK icon higher up (near the top of the doors).
This usually wil prevent Larry from getting stuck in the doors. Thanks to
TxedoMsk8 for pointing this out!
What's your preference? Blackjack or slots? Walk over the machine of your
choice and click the wallet on the machine to play.
Here is a strategy that will net you some money easily. Save your game, then
increase your bet to the maximum amount. Play once. If you lose, restore and
try again. If you win, increase your bet to the max again, then save again.
Keep repeating this until you have the desired amount of cash. You will need
at least $500, but you can always try for more. Once you are done, cash out.
Head one screen north and look in the ashtray. Take the disco pass, then head
east to the cabaret. If the dancing girls are there, you can watch them for a
while. Leave and return until the stand-up comic is in there. Walk over to
the chair at the bottom right table and sit down for a point. You can listen
to the
jokes, but most of them are pretty lame. Now leave the casin
At some point, outside the casino, a skinny man in a barrel will show up,
apples. He only wants a paltry ten dollars for the apple. Must be one hell of
an apple, eh? Buy it anyway, as someone you meet later will want it.
Go back to the street and catch a cab back to Lefty's. Remember that door I
told you to ignore for now? Remember the password you read on the wall? Go
into the bar and knock on that door. Give the password when asked, then go
inside. You can pay the pimp, but don't--there is an easier way. Use the
remote on the TV. Keep switching channels until you find something that
catches the pimp's interest. He'll be distracted and you can go up the stairs.
Walk over to the girl on the bed and look at her. Talk to her if you like.
Well, you know what you're here for--this is one of the times to use the zipper
icon. Make sure you use protection--you don't know where this girl has been.
Afterward, Larry's not
completely satisfied, so he will continue his quest. Remove your protection
now, then Walk over to the window
and take the box of candy. Open the window and climb out.
Walk to the west end of the fire escape and you will fall into the trash bin.
Look around in the trash. The hammer might be useful.
Head one screen west and you will be back in front of the bar. Call a taxi and
go to the disco. You can chat with the bouncer but he won't let you in unless
you show him the disco pass. He will also let you in if you give him the
diamond ring, but if you do you can't complete the game, so don't do it.
You can wander around and talk to the various people, all of which are part of
the team that brought you this awesome game making cameo appearances. Your
goal here is Fawn, the blonde sitting all by herself (and the only woman in the
place). Go over to her and sit down, then look at her. Talk to her for a
while and she will tell you that she likes presents. Well, girls seem to like
flowers, candy, and jewelry, all of which you happen to have with you. Give
her all three and then she will dance with you. It seems you've impressed her,
and she wants to get married to you. Give her the money she asks for, then
leave the disco and catch a cab to the wedding chapel.
Outside the wedding chapel. You'll notice a guy in a trench coat. Talk to
him, then walk in front of him. Look at him (them?) and talk again to get some
At the wedding chapel, the game will take over during the wedding ceremony, and
you will pay another hundred bucks (now you see why you needed so much money?).
Once you're married, Fawn will tell you to meet her at the honeymoon suite at
the hotel.
Go next door (west) to the casino, and head north to the elevators. Take the
elevator to the fourth floor. Go over to the door with the heart on it and
knock. Fawn will let you in. Trying anything, you will discover she's not in
the mood yet. She wants some wine, but some music might also help, so turn on
the radio. Listen to the commercial. They deliver, huh? Perhaps you should
give them a call (write down the number).
Go back downstairs and find the payphone. Okay, so you can't use that one. Go
outside and catch a cab to the store, you can use the payphone there. If
you're low on funds, you might want to play a couple of quick games, since
you'll need cab fare. Don't take any wine on the cab; the cabbie will snatch
it and guzzle it, and you know what happens when cabbies drive drunk. Instead,
call Ajax Liquor on the payphone (you did write down the number, didn't you?).
Larry will ask them to deliver some wine to the honeymoon suite, and you can
then return to find it waiting for you there. Of course, you can't walk there,
so take a cab.
Go back up to the honeymoon suite and find the wine waiting for you like I told
you it would be. Pour some wine for you and Fawn, then click the hand icon on
her. She looks at you, and things will start to happen. One thing that will
happen is Fawn will tie you to the bed, take (almost) all your money, and
leave. Cut yourself free with the pocketknife you got from the wino, and you
will discover that Fawn didn't find ten dollars hidden a secret compartment of
your wallet. Take the ribbon--you will need it soon--and head back to the
Using the strategy mentioned above, play until you win at least $50.00, it
be enough for cab fare. Head back to Lefty's Bar, and go up to the
hooker's room again (don't worry, the pimp is still watching TV). You can't
really do anything with her again, so go back out the window. So what's in
that other window? Time to find out. Remember that article in the magazine
you read? You don't have a rope, but that ribbon might work. Tie one end of
the ribbon around your waist and the other to the railing, then reach for the
window. Locked! Well, good thing you found that hammer. Smash open the
window, and grab that bottle of pills, then get back over to the fire escape
before the ribbon gives way.
Take a cab back to the casino. If the apple vendor hasn't shown up yet, go
east to the wedding chapel and back to the middle of the casino screen until he
does. With apple and mysterious pills in hand, head into the casino and take
the elevator up to the eighth floor.
Here you will find a hallway full of locked doors and a cute-looking guard.
She's not likely to let you in, but take a look at her anyway. Talk to her.
Not getting anywhere, it seems. Well, sometimes drugs might help, so give her
the pills. You discover that they are Spanish Fly, but Faith, true to her
name, goes to find her boyfriend before the pills wear off. But now, the desk
in unguarded, and if
you look at it, you'll notice a button. Push it, and the elevator will open.
Hop in.
Somebody's penthouse apartment, huh? You don't see anyone here, so head to
the right into the bedroom, then open the closet door. What's this? An
inflatable doll! Might as well get your jollies, so blow her up and go to it
(you'll have to ask twice). UPDATE: In some later versions of the game, you
can't use the hand icon to blow up the doll, so use the nose & mouth icon.
This is the only place where you *must* use that icon. Thanks to
RavenWhitemane for this info!
Finally, she'll go flying away (leaving you just like all of Larry's other
women). You follow her out to the balcony where you discover a hot tub, and
it's occupied. Talk to the woman, and she'll invite you into the water.
Zipper Larry and he will jump in.
Look at the woman, then talk to her all you can. Hasn't got much to say, has
she? If you want to, you can turn off the bubbles to (almost) see more of her
than you could before :D and if you look at her towel, you'll discover that
her name is Eve. What might a woman named Eve want? Well, Eve ate
the apple, so let history repeat itself. Now sit back and watch the end of the
game. Congratulations! You've won!

Kopecky makes it five with home ERC glory
ERC Barum Czech Rally Zlin day two report
Super September in the FIA European Rally Championship is go with Jan Kopecký and co-driver Pavel Dresler kicking off a thrilling month of high-speed action by winning Barum Czech Rally Zlín in their ŠKODA Motorsport Fabia Super 2000 today (Sunday).
The home heroes dominated the asphalt showcase from start to finish, locking out the nine stage wins on leg one before adopting a cautious approach on the rain-hit stages on leg two to claim their fifth victory from six starts in this year's ERC. Václav Pech (MINI John Cooper Works) took second with Jaromír Tarabus making it an all-Czech podium in third.
And there will be more serious competition ahead when LOTOS 70th Rally Poland takes place from 13-15 September live on Eurosport followed by the Croatia Rally from 26-28 September. Like Barum Czech Rally Zlín, fans are expected to flock to both events in their thousands with the Polish round marking Formula One race winner Robert Kubica's return to the ERC.
"I'm very happy to win my home round of the ERC and also for ŠKODA," said Kopecký, who has extended his ERC title lead with his latest success. "The car was perfect all weekend but today was just about getting to the finish in the difficult conditions because we had a big gap and it would have been stupid to have made a mistake."
Meanwhile, Jan Černý took ERC 2WD Championship honours in his Peugeot 208 R2 with Molly Taylor clinching the ERC Ladies' Trophy spoils to move joint first with Ekaterina Stratieva in the standings. Rising Czech talent Mirsolav Jakeš won the ERC Production Car Cup in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, with the GPD Mit Metal Racing Team increasing its grip on the European Rally Championship for Teams with drivers Jaroslav Orsák and Antonín Tlusťák both making it into the top 10 overall.
Elsewhere, Napoca Rally Academy continues to lead the ERC Production Car Cup for Teams as Germain Bonnefis shone for Team Renault Sport Technologies. ERC 2WD leader Zoltán Bessenyey helped Eurosol-Honda Civic Type R to another maximum haul of points in the ERC 2WD Championship for Teams to extend his class lead by finishing third in class following a close battle with Raffael Sulzinger after Hermann Neubauer retired due to a mechanical failure. Italian Elwis Chentre finished second in his Fabia R2.
Following the sun-baked opening leg, overnight rain left Sunday's stages damp with mud being dragged onto the corners adding to the challenge facing the crews. Despite the difficult conditions, MICHELIN and Yokohama rose to the occasion as drivers praised the performance of their tyres.
Roman Kresta, competing on his last rally before retiring from competition, set the early pace by going fastest on the opening Maják stage to close to within 15.7s of second-placed Pech.
However, a puncture on the next stage cost him more than three minutes and any hope of a farewell podium despite his capture of four stage wins as he attempted to recover the time loss to fourth-placed Sepp Wiegand – impressing on a one-off appearance for ŠKODA Motorsport – and team-mate Tarabus in third. Tarabus also lost time with a puncture on Sunday morning but described completing the podium as the "perfect" result.
After being delayed by a puncture and broken powersteering on leg one, Pavel Valoušek made history by becoming the first driver to win an ERC stage in a Ford Fiesta R5. The former Czech champion was using the new-generation machine in competition for the first time on the back of limited pre-event running and got quicker as the event progressed, going fastest again on the final run. However, it wasn't enough to beat Orsák to seventh as he lost out by 0.5s. Tomáš Kostka, in the second Fiesta R5, was less fortunate, retiring on Saturday with transmission failure.
Robert Kořístka completed the top 10 following a stirring drive, which the Czech said had exceeded his expectations. Germain Bonnefis took a strong 11th overall in his front-wheel-drive Renault Mégane RS. He would have been higher up the order but for lost time against the four-wheel-drive machinery in the wet conditions on Sunday morning. Subaru Impreza driver Toshi Arai restarted following his exit on Saturday and demonstrated plenty of pace in his Impreza R4 STI.

Detailed Description:
This study is designed to evaluate the tolerability of Myfortic®/Simulect® combination in diabetic patients in a steroid free regimen. Due to the diverse ethnicity of our transplant recipient population, our study will determine any different responses, including autoimmunity, between Hispanic, and Caucasian, patients.
|Diabetes Immunosuppression
|Procedure: Gastric emptying test
|Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Study to Evaluate Tolerability of Myfortic With Simulect Induction and Tacrolimus Without Steroids in Three Patient Populations; 1: Kidney/Pancreas Transplants,2: Diabetic Kidney Transplants, and 3: Non-diabetic Kidney Transplants
Further study details as provided by The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Tolerability of Myfortic in combination with Simulect and Tacrolimus without steroids [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Assure that immunosuppression protects graft function by decreased incidence of rejection and side effects
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- GI complications [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Gastric emptying test
- Graft function [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
Renal function assessed by serum creatinine and calculating creatinine clearance.
Pancreas function assessed by glucose control, exogenous insulin requirement, HgbA1C
- Biopsy proven rejection [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Renal graft core biopsy will be performed on all suspected rejection.
|Study Start Date:
|March 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Transplant recipients
All subjects receive identical drug treatment
Procedure: Gastric emptying test
Gastric emptying tests will be performed at baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Other Name: Gastric motility
Detailed Description:
Myfortic® is an enteric-coated formulation of the sodium salt derivative of mycophenolic acid (MPA) that is administered to control kidney graft rejection. Myfortic® was developed to improve MPA-related upper gastrointestinal (GI) side effects by delaying the release of MPA until it reaches the large surface of the small bowel. Approximately half of all the kidney transplant recipients in the United States have diabetes mellitus. A recent analysis of approximately 30,000 kidney transplant recipients included in the U.S. Renal Data System showed that 42% of patients had pre-transplant diabetes (1). Moreover, 15% to 20% of patients develop diabetes after transplantation, a condition that is commonly known as post-diabetes mellitus (1-3). It was previously shown that the rate and extent of MPA absorption is minimally affected by diabetes (4). Limited data is available in the current literature on Myfortic® and Simulect® based therapy in diabetic patients.

Well that brings me back I got my Carry Permit back in 1974 and have been carrying a gun ever since. But the first week I was a bit concerned about the concealment factor. My how things have changed 1974 my permit was only the 75th to be issued.

This reminds me of the scene in "Get Shorty" when the drug dealer goes to the airport to get his stash and sees lumps under everyone's clothes including the little kid.
I'm a little self concious when I carry too. "Does everyone know?" I imagine it's something you have to get used to. You must have gotten your CCL because you felt the need. Does that need still outweigh your fears? Then power through it.

To checkmyswag, Yes I could do that I suppose. I need to look into a nice lock box that I can put in my center console of my F-150. I'd feel safer than just leaving it in my glove box or under the seat.

Nervous about carrying?
Sounds like a good candidate to opt out.
How do I feel when carrying?
I feel like I am better prepared than offenders might think and I feel like I could very well handle a hard situation rather than being a helpless victim.

Carrying concealed bothers me none I carried open for years before going concealed mostly for my job. Pretty much every where I go either a M92fs or a 5.5 inch barrled 357 mag. People would stare and look and all but I do not care it is my right and I enjoy exercing my rights.

It depends on how I am dressed, and what I am carrying at the I have carried since shortly after my 21st birthday nearly 14 years ago. Until last year it was a bit lop sided carrying a full sized .45 ACP. Then I bought a P-64 9mm Mak. I started pocket carrying it, after familiarizing myself with it to the point that it was like an old friend in my hand. Then I traded for an ugly home cammo job Glock 26 9mm. Now I do not feel so lop sided. Also a lot cooler in the 109 degree heat with humdity at pea soup level.
At first I though people that knew me might think something when I all of a sudden started wearing my shirt untucked. I got over that quickly.

I am use to wearing a radio on my strong side at work. So, I am use to the lopsided feeling. It doesn't feel that weird to me. I don't have the strong side swing or shuffle.
I do feel a little raw if I don't wear an undershirt. The CZ P-07 has agressive grip texturing similar to skateboard grip tape. So, after a few hours it rubs a red patch on my side. I've taken to wearing undershirts tucked in. So, I guess you could say carrying makes me a little warmer than usual.
I was nervous at first that I would get spotted or show. A good IWB holster solved that problem. I can carry a "compact" CZ with out the slightest print with a good IWB. It didn't even require going up a size in shirts. After about three or four days I started feeling like it was normal as pie.
Here's my credo: There are no good guns, There are no bad guns. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good man is no threat to anyone, except bad people.

At first you may feel like you stick out like a sore thumb, but you don't. Unless someone knows, and pays attention to exactly what to look for they don't have any idea you are carrying. Any halfway decent CC or pocket holster does a good enough job of concealment that the average Joe doesn't have a clue what's in your pants!

Reminds me of my younger days when I was a private detective. I had an occasion whereby a local chief of police, a retired captain of police, and our female companions were having cocktails over dinner.
The subject came up about concealed carry.
I won't use the chiefs exact words but it went like this. Carrying a concealed weapon is like being sexually excited. You know it, but few people ever notice. His statement was sort of an 'ice breaker' and all six of us got a good laugh over it.
I still smile when I think about it. The chief was not a stuffed shirt.

You'll get used to it. I felt a lot better once I got a nicer holster that didn't make it feel like I was carrying something enormous.

Carry for a few years and then go somewhere that you can't for a week or 2. Now that is weird. It makes Condition Yellow seem a lot more real and important, IMO.

I've had a carry permit for a long time(and carried before the permits) so it's just like wearing pants. I've always carried a folding knife and a small vise grip tool on my belt so am used to having something there. Walked into a Cstore for a potty stop this morning and almost bumped into a city cop. We both said"oops and hello" and he gave me a casual look-saw an old guy with a photographer's vest and a little smile crossed his face. I didn't feel any sort of concern about my pistol and took care of business and left. You probably just need to spend more time packing your holstered gun and getting used to it being part of you.
I do find myself checking the area for other folks carrying concealed. In the process, I've pegged a couple of plainclothes cops and a few citizens I suspected or knew for sure were packing.

Everyone worrys about printing. With cel phones, I-Pods, etc everyone is printing. I can carry my J Frame 638 under a hi quality long Tee Shirt, and no one notices. Being an ORG (Old Retired Guy) I have the Retired Guy Look down pat. Shirtail always out, Kaki Boonie hat, Flowerdy shirts, Fishing Shirts, etc.
The most important thing I have done for CCW is geting some better holsters. I have Lobo Model 1 pancakes for my 638 and 3" 625. I have an Enhanced Pancake on order for my 4" Model 64. For my 1911 I have the Askens Avenger style holster from Rafter S, and an Inside the Waist Band model. Good leather makes all the difference.
I have also had pockets added to the inside of jackets for my J Frame pocket holster.
Adjust your wardrobe for CCW. Get some shirts that are to be worn not tucked in. The South American/Cuban Dress shirts with the square long tail would be a good example. They look good, and fit loose enough to not print.
Billfold: This was mentioned above. I can get my billfold out carrying my 638 with no problem. Now carrying my 625 or 64 in a belt holster with longer barrels is a problem. I will get my billfold out before entering a store, and put it in a front pocket.

Yeah, I carry 120 rounds of .223 and 30 rounds of 9mm and a heavy Motorola radio on my left and a baton, Beretta 92 FS and cuffs on my right so the weight doesn't affect me. As long as I have a sturdy belt, my inside holster is quite comfy compared to the rest of my work week

Corey Goodman (Marin Voice, June 12) presents a strange and inconsistent argument in support of the oyster operation owned by Kevin and Nancy Lunny.
He claims the research implying environmental damage is false and accuses the Park Service of scientific misconduct.
A Department of Interior review cleared all employees and scientists working on the Lunny area of misconduct in March of 2011.
Goodman's claims concerning Park Service reports do not address the obverse of the problems, they do not convince one of the total lack of impact, including workers' cars, tourists and the general operation affects.
This is a park, not an industrial zone.
Do we want factory farms in Marin? While he has reduced the scientific debate to name-calling, like many of the supporters of the Lunny family's business, he avoids two central issues.
The first is that the Lunny family bought a lease with a specified length.
Unless Mr. Goodman wants to deny the Park Service the right to enter into leases and that contract law should not apply to government agencies, then he has no grounds to accuse the Park Service of acting arbitrarily.
The lease is up and the Lunny operation should end. The second issue is what level of operation is consistent with the park designation?
If it is to be used as an industrial operation, which is certainly is, then what are the appropriate amounts of intrusion?
Certainly it is currently beyond what Native Americans extracted from the area given the evidence of shell mounds, and I have worked on excavations of these mounds.
If some operation is to continue, then the lease should be put out to public bid again based on current levels of extraction. The Lunny family has no right to the operation.
It is on federal lands and every American who wants to should have the right to bid on the lease.

An attack campaign
The assault by Corey Goodman (Marin Voice, June 12) on our esteemed Congressman Jared Huffman's sound judgment should give the community pause about the disreputable tactics of Drakes Bay Oyster Co. and its allies and their "win-at-all-costs" strategy.
Congressman Huffman is one of the most highly regarded conservation leaders in Congress. His measured judgment in rejecting the oyster company's misleading statements in the Sonoma City Council should be firmly applauded.
Goodman's op-ed is off-base and incorrect.
The oyster company continues to try to paint this as a scientific debate, continuing its deceptive mantra about scientific misconduct. The best available, peer-reviewed science lends clear support for restoring Drakes Estero to marine wilderness and removing the millions of non-native oysters and clams.
The oyster company finds this to be an inconvenient truth, and so it has relentlessly attacked peer-reviewed research with little more than unfounded allegations.
The pattern has been that: Dr. Goodman launches a new complaint, an investigation ensues, the investigation finds no merit, facts or evidence in support of Dr. Goodman's claims, then Dr. Goodman accuses that federal or state agency of fraud and misconduct, and may sue using right-wing pro-bono lawyers.
This ploy may have worked to convince some die-hard oyster lovers of the need to ignore decades of federal public policy, but as a doctor of science I find this pattern of behavior, and the damage it has caused the brilliant Park Service scientists, blasphemous. It's an attack campaign, not science, and not in the public interest.
Thankfully, Jared Huffman has the wisdom and courage to see the difference.

Save the North Coast
California's North Coast is an unparalleled treasure that we need to preserve for future generations to enjoy.
As an educator, I feel responsible to share the beauty of the Point Arena-Stornetta public lands with my neighbors, because this is nature's classroom that could be destroyed.
For each child, this area creates an education.
The public lands are home to important wildlife like the endangered Point Arena mountain beaver, as well as birds, sea lions and seals, and salmon.
Our community should permanently protect this place by supporting Congressman Jared Huffman's proposal to add this area to the California Coastal National Monument.
Preserving California's North Coast serves the future of our children, our community, and ultimately our planet.
As a human rights advocate, I feel it is our human right to have access to a healthy environment, where we can connect with nature.
Our Constitution guarantees life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Nature is fundamental to those ideals.

Growing gridlock
Several of us from Tam Valley would like to invite Supervisor Kate Sears for Saturday morning coffee.
If the supervisor was looking to further investigate traffic implications of Plan Bay Area, have we got a deal for her: A Manzanita-Highway 101 primer.
At 11 a.m. Saturday, I headed north to Strawberry, noticing the usual one-mile backup toward Marin City at the Highway 101-Shoreline Highway northbound entrance/exit.
What I wasn't expecting to see was the one-mile backup in the other direction at the southbound exit to Tam Valley.
This is usually a 10-car backup.
After shopping, I headed southbound toward the freeway onramp entrance, but noticed traffic still backed up to Strawberry, an hour and a half later.
I adjusted my route over the hill through Eucalyptus Knolls toward Hauke Park, congratulating myself on my back-route savvy.
Nice try.
Traffic was bumper-to-bumper back to the Mill Valley police station.
I finally got home 20 minutes later. Usually, it's a five- minute ride.
Should Supervisor Sears think this summertime issue is going away anytime soon, and Plan Bay Area will not bring additional traffic to this corridor, then we would like to offer her some on-the-job-training.
If Supervisor Charles McGlashan were alive today, he would be looking for more ways to reduce traffic — like his Muir Woods bus service— not add to this L.A.-style, constipated gridlock.

Shred Plan Bay Area
Fortunately the Bay Area Plan is a draft. As a draft plan, it is not defendable.
The public responses are amazing and shred the Plan Bay Area with consistent and concise revelations of the numerous flaws and absolutely critical deficient areas of the report.
The assault was heavy and effective, but without coordination, that further indicates the depth of resistance that will occur if the plan is not discarded.
The plan needs to be started over and completed in a bottom-up, proper planning process with the Association of Bay Area Governments as the aggregator, not the wizard to predict the future.

Electronic dragnet
The rude truth is that we are living under de facto martial law.
The situation is similar to 1942-45 when, per President Roosevelt's Executive Order No. 9066, Japanese residents and Japanese-American citizens on the West Coast were incarcerated in "relocation camps."
FDR authorized the secretary of war and designated military commanders to execute the exclusion since there was a perceived but unfounded threat of sabotage.
The so-called "military necessity" was driven by media-fed fear i.e. hysteria. Lt. Gen. John De Witt, head of the Western Defense Command, ruled with de facto martial law.
The U.S. is engaged in the "War On Terror." The executive (president), judicial (top secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court), and legislative (few members of Congress) branches have unconstitutionally elevated the National Security Agency under the Defense Department as the over-seeing authority in much of our routine life.
The very idea that any part of our private communications is being collected by an arm of the U.S. military, in a dragnet manner, is repugnant — tacit and de facto martial law.
Media-fed fear and hysteria over ever more security puts the Constitution, bulwark of a civilian-run democracy, in peril.
What to do?
Educate the public about the importance of the Fourth Amendment and the writ of habeas corpus to our democracy.
Also, every email can include: "The NSA is collecting my email. I need to talk with you privately, so I am sending you a letter via U.S. mail today."

Forgetting their sacrifices?
I agree with the two June 8 letter writers commenting on reactions to your Marinview feature on Memorial Day.
There seems to be a gradually growing indifference toward Memorial Day in our nation, an unappreciative, even a absence of recognition, of the service and sacrifices of those who fought and died in our nation's wars.
Perhaps, it is a de-emphasis of war itself as part of our history, especially as it is taught in our schools.
Perhaps, after our remaining World War II veterans are gone, they will all but be forgotten by most of us, sadly even on Memorial Day.
One writer called for us to be "frequently reminded" of the debt we owe to those heroes, past and present.
Surely, isn't part of that the purpose of our war memorials? Webster's Dictionary defines memorial as "something that keeps remembrance alive."
My father always kept on his bedside table photos of his two (older) brothers, my uncles, who died in action in World War I, aged 23 and 20.
The British have a practice that at least prevents the Brits from forgetting those who gave their lives. War memorials there mostly are located prominently in central places of community life and highly visible on a daily basis, perhaps alongside if not in main highways, or in the center of a city's or village's main intersection.
They're in-your-face.
Britain's primary war memorial, the Cenotaph, is located in the middle of Whitehall, one of London's busiest streets.

Hello, I have only been lurking here, but I read your post and felt the need to reply, as I can see, feel and understand the pain of your situation. I too have a stepson (I am married to his father) that is soon to be 17 and acts exactly like the child you are describing. His mother isn't absent but dropped him off at his fathers several years ago and handed over custody because she no longer wanted to deal with him, they see or speak very little of each other.
He has been in Juvenile Jail more times than I can count for what I consider just being stupid. He has cost us a small fortune in court cost and Juvelie detention fees. He has never done anything "bad" per say but he is extremely disrepectful to us, his teachers, his peers, the police. My husband gets up every morning at 5am to make my stepson get up and watches him get to the school bus and get on. Mind you, he has been kicked out of our public school system and now goes to an alternitive school so that too has been an issue.
He sits in his room and plays video games all day long, refuses to get a job, smokes in the house and is always asking for money. I went to the police and asked what my rights were...basically, he's under 18 and he has to do whatever I say or I can press unruly charges on him. Lucky for me, he respects me way more than he does anyone else and like you I try not to get into the middle of his battles with the law and his dad BUT...I also help pay for the food he eats, the toilet paper he wipes his butt with, the clothes on his back and the roof over his head, I have rights as a human being to voice my opinion and if he respects no one else he will respect me. We have a wonderful relationship and he would do anything for me but in return I am always kind to him and stern when I am pushed. Please feel free to message me, even if just to vent.
Good Luck.

grrrr. i just wrote this all, but i was distracted by the doc coming back from golfing at this amazing club. he met some guy at the bar last night who took him out golfing at the club where the play the irish open. he said it was absolutely amazing. i'm definitely jealous, although i'm not nearly good enough to be playing on a course that incredible.
so i'll try to remember what i just wrote. we all know that nothing is really easy for me, right? so this story shouldn't be much of a surprise.
woke this morning at 5 am. in the lobby by 5:15. at 5:35, sparkles still wasn't here. i had to go wake him. his alarm hadn't gone off.
strike 1.
had a hard time sleeping last night. kept hearing the revving of souped up engines. this weekend is a road rally. as we started driving, the road that we were supposed to take to get to the half marathon closed a half hour earlier than it was supposed to close, and we left a half hour later than expected. we had to take a detour down these random back roads.
strike 2.
amazingly, we arrived, safe and sound, even after driving on the wrong side of the narrow roads the whole way. i only freaked out once when sparkles drove a little too close to the cliff. we managed to get on one of the first buses to the start line. then we ran. sparkles did the half marathon in an hour and thirty five minutes. i arrived an hour later. my new friend strolled in a couple minutes after i did. she and i had kept pace together for all but the first two miles and the last two miles. we did sneak in a little bit of walking occasionally. it was nice running with her except that her pace is a little faster than i normally run, so it was killing me. that and the hills.
sparkles and i walked around a little to stretch. then we dropped off some stuff in the car. that is when he told me to come around to the front driver's side to see something. i had to apologize to the couple walking by us after i exclaimed, "are you fucking kidding me?" when i saw that the tire was flat.
strike 3.
i have pictures of him unscrewing the lug nuts, but he doesn't have any of me working the jack. so now you all will think i just took photos while he did all the work. not true, not that you will believe me. once we finished the tire, we had run out of time to explore bantry. we returned the car to the airport and now i'm about to go have a beer while sparkles gets a massage.
anyone want to come with me to ireland another time to do the ring of kerry? i promise, no running!

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
All in all, I would have rather liked this toy, if it had not been for the badly engineered plastic bit at the end of the dildo. I had high expectations for my first strap-on, and this let me down greatly.
All in all, an attractive toy, but not the best for those wanting to try a strap-on for the first time.
This is a great toy for average strap on users. Over-all size, girth, strength, and fit are well worth the price.
This strap-on is AMAZING! The size was just right, the veins gave it texture for more simulation. The harness stayed in place, and so did the dildo so there was no accidental slipping. I recommend this strap-on to everyone. You can have blast with this strap-on. You can be alone and remove the dildo from the harness and use it by yourself.

Protest Too Much
It was apparently an irresistible story, and few resisted.
A group of Houston sixth-graders from Lanier Middle School was scheduled to take a tour of the White House on March 15, but because of a bureaucratic snafu they were denied entry.
Their teacher, Jim Henley, organized a photogenic protest outside the White House, with kids shouting, according to reports, "We want George! Open up the doors!"
Somehow the media got tipped off. Henley didn't return our phone calls, so instead of assuming he called the Houston Chronicle's Washington bureau, we'll assume that those die-hard news dogs rooted out the story on their own.

The protest paid off -- the tour, which was supposed to have been arranged through Representative Sheila Jackson Lee's office, was miraculously reinstated and taken by the kids the next day. With ensuing coverage by the Chron, and several of Houston's local news stations.
All the media outlets talked with Henley, who had encouraged the kids to protest after they were turned away. (" 'We can walk away, or you can do something memorable,' Henley said he told the students," the Chron reported.)
What none of the media mentioned, even in passing: Henley is Susan McDougal's brother.
If that name only vaguely rings a bell, she's the woman who went to jail rather than cooperate with Ken Starr's Whitewater jihad. Henley himself was a Whitewater figure, having been indicted, tried and cleared of fraud charges connected to the Castle Grande deal. (In case you forget, "the Castle Grande deal" was yet another obscure real estate transaction that somehow proved that Bill Clinton was the bastard son of Bella Abzug and Satan.)
Henley publicly supported his sister throughout her ordeal: "His eyes misting with tears, Henley, 50, talked about what he tells students in his debate classes at Lanier Middle School," according to a 1998 newspaper account. " 'I am trying to say we have a democracy worth saving, it's a great country but not as long as we do this to our leaders.' "
He also regularly showed up and talked to reporters at McDougal's many court appearances.
This being Houston, some readers and viewers took offense at the thought of students being so rude toward the White House, and by extension President Bush.
Letters poured in to the Chron's edit page: Henley's students "were supported in their perception of being wronged and rewarded for seeking immediate gratification by demonstrating. What values are we teaching youth today?" one reader wrote. Said another: "If I had been the gatekeeper, it wouldn't have mattered if their paperwork was in order or not -- I would have rejected them on their appearance. I hope our president didn't witness that motley crew."
One can only hope.
The issue became so hot that Henley -- who's actually a very popular teacher among Lanier students and parents -- had an op-ed piece in the Chron giving his side of the story once again ("Our students and parents were respectful and dignified in our short demonstration"). He was ID'd only as a teacher.
It's not difficult to imagine the even-more-frothing reaction of the right-wingers if the Whitewater connection had been disclosed, but the Chron somehow denied us that fun.
And it wasn't like it was a big secret. That 1998 piece featuring a tearful Henley? It was a locally written story published right in Houston's Leading Information Source.
Yankee Go Home
We're sure readers and viewers in Houston would have reacted as strongly if Bill Clinton had been in the White House. But maybe not.
New York Times reporter Frank Bruni came to town March 20 to tout his Bush campaign bio, Ambling into History. While the book has been criticized for being too soft on Bush, at the Barnes & Noble on Voss Road the locals were more interested in how Bruni could take it upon himself to criticize Our President.
"Where are you from?" one offended questioner asked Bruni.
When he replied that he was from the New York area, no further discussion was apparently required.
"I thought so," the questioner harrumphed, somehow refraining from quipping "QED" to her fellow inquisitors.

Malcolm Ramsay's sons, Malcolm and Edward, came to PEI aboard the Annabelle in 1770 with their Uncle John Ramsay and their 4 cousins from Scotland. The Annabelle ran aground on 27 Sep 1770 at Darnley Point sinking the ship and cargo but with no loss of life. The Ramsay's settled on Lot 18 (Princeton).
It is noted in "The Princeton Pioneers" that both the Ramsay family and MacArthur family were farmers and members of the Highland (Gaelic speaking) congregation in the parish of Campbelltown, Argyllshire, Scotland and were on the Annabelle. It is suggested that Rev. Charles Steward, paster of their church and father of the ships owners, recruited families from his congregation. It is not surprising to see much inter-marrying between the two clans.

A 21-year-old Indian student has been attacked by a group of males in suburban Melbourne after they stopped him and demanded cigarettes and money.
Today's incident is the latest in a spate of assaults on Indian students that have led to claims racist violence is escalating around the city.
Do you know more? Text 0406 THE AGE (+61 406 843 243), email us with information and pictures
The victim, a nursing student at the Chisholm Institute in Dandenong, in Melbourne's east, was slashed with a box-cutter knife carried by one of five men who confronted him in a carpark, a spokeswoman for Victoria Police said.
She said the attack happened at 1.30pm today as Mr Singh was leaving the college. Five males confronted him as he crossed a car park and asked for cigarettes.
Police said Mr Singh told the men he was a non-smoker. The men then demanded money and when the student refused, he was slashed across the chest.
Mr Singh made his way to a police station where he made a statement about the attack.
Police spokeswoman Senior Constable Karla Dennis said there was no indication the attackers had deliberately targeted the student. "I would say this is an opportunistic fight. It could have happened to any individual of any nationality,'' she said.
She said the student's injury was minor and he did not need hospital treatment.
However, an Indian news website said the student, Nardeep Singh, from Ludhiana, in northern Punjab state, was bleeding heavily and went to a hospital, according to his roommate.
Mr Singh is believed to have been in Australia for two months.
Police said they had no descriptions of the five men, except that two were "Australians". The carpark was deserted and there were no CCTV cameras. They have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
Today's incident also comes after a vandalism spree at a Sikh temple in Shepparton, in central Victoria, yesterday.
I would say this is an opportunistic fight. It could have happened to any individual of any nationality.
Shepparton police tonight confirmed the attack but told The Age they had no further details.
However, website India Today reported racist graffiti and a swastika were painted on the walls and a car driven into a fence around the temple, smashing it.
