- Statistical study is all about helping individuals unearth value that otherwise might be overlooked because we know some behavior is of no use. In that spirit, we salute Larry Granillo of Wezen-Ball who helpfully compiles a compendium of successful fake to third, throw to first pick offs. If you aren't reading Wezen-Ball, you are missing the game.
- Over at Around the Horn Baseball, Alex Freeman takes a look at the struggles of Mat Latos in his last two starts. A pair of abominations that come as San Diego struggles to hold off Colorado and catch San Francisco.
- Speaking of San Francisco, Richard Dyer of The Giants Cove celebrates the taking of the lead in the NL West by force. Just remember, don't get cocky, kid.
- The Red Sox dropped a slug fest to the Jays Friday night. Our trio of Sox blogs took three different approaches to reviewing the carnage. Fenway West's David Maciel compares John Lackey to Daisuke Matsuzaka for cranking up the misery meters of Sox fans.

Quoting TG3:" I live in country with NO separation of church and state (they still say the Lords prayer in public school assembly ... or did last time I checked) ... and we don't have that sort of shit going on."
ha ha no they dont.
100% not true
Quoting LOOK AT MY DONG:" ha ha no they dont. 100% not true"
shit, actually my bad they may.
sorry hun

admittedly its been a few years
Quoting TG3:" admittedly its been a few years"
I just don't feel an elementary school should have that much religion based decorations. Its just not needed. Unless the intent is to push it on them. When they are older, in high school, I think learning about religion is okay. But not just Christianity. It should be open to all religions.
As far as not being able to say Merry Christmas in school, I think that is ridiculous. Especially in elemtrary school. They are kids. Telling them they can't say Merry Christmas isn't right. If they celebrate it at home, they are going to be excited. And telling them that they aren't allowed to say it, makes it seem like celebrating Christmas is wrong.
Quoting C.K.I:" It's the south. If you complain, you will be the most hated person on campus. The public schools around ... [snip!] ... a video explaining the crucifixion on Easter. It pissed me off, but like I said...most hated person in town if you complain.."
I would certainly complain because it violates the constitution and public schools are not allowed to endorse any religion. That is a federal law. If they hated me for it I would call them hypocrites because Jesus strongly preached against hating others.
I would address the teacher about the problem. If that didn't work, I'd go to the principal, etc. It wouldn't be the first time I've been hated or looked down upon for my lack of religious beliefs. DH said he would tell DD to answer every question the teacher asked with, "Jesus". :D
Quoting :" ha ha no they dont. 100% not true"

Both banks and homeowners across the United States and around the world have spent the past five years cleaning up their balance sheets, negotiating with governments and collectively licking their wounds from the frenzied mortgage markets of the last decade. Now, as the dust clears across the financial sector, irony abounds as the largest mortgage lender in the US has also emerged as the most valuable bank in the world.
Throughout this period, San Francisco-based bank Wells Fargo has consistently reported lower-than-average mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates compared to other large banks in the US. As of June 30, the bank serviced $1.5 trillion in home loans originated or securitized by others, in addition to the $367 billion in residential mortgages it owns and services.
Like most other major banks — those that survived the crisis at least — Wells has not gone unscathed. The bank has agreed to more than $6 billion in settlements related to servicing and foreclosure practices. And, even as the bank continues to work through modifications and foreclosures, Wells has gained a reputation for very conservative loan policies and longer due-diligence cycles — visibly frustrating customers in numerous online forums.
Both the lower delinquency rates and some of the recent customer complaints may be the result of its approach to mortgage risk management: lending more conservatively mitigates risk for both the borrower and the bank.
BBC Capital spoke with Franklin Codel, executive vice president and head of mortgage production for Wells Fargo, about this two-sided view of mortgage lending.
Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, Codel leads all activities around sales, underwriting, closing and processing of Wells Fargo originated mortgages. His division has experienced the ups and downs of a tumultuous decade in the mortgage and housing markets and is currently the largest originator in the US.
BBC Capital: How do you and the bank view customer relationships, specifically through home lending?
Codel: Mortgages are the second-biggest source of customer relationships with Wells Fargo after checking accounts, so it's a big part of the lifeblood of bringing in new people and earning deeper relationships over time. For example, customers with Wells Fargo mortgages looking to refinance tend to stay with the bank over 50% of the time. [Refinance deals are often incentive for people to change banks.] If someone is moving, we set them up with local representatives in the next city.
BBC Capital: How does the bank view the risk equation, specifically when working with customers to originate mortgages?
Codel: To help our customers succeed financially, manage risk in the business and "do the right thing", you have to first lend well and understand the mortgage model. This means a balance of doing what's right for the consumers, as well as the bank and investors. In 2005 and 2006, [some] lenders were lending based on what investors would buy, not necessarily what was right for the customers. Having a deep appreciation of the long-term view and the business model itself has helped guide us in making a lot of decisions over the years about how to be an effective lender.
BBC Capital: What type of risk management, education and outreach does the bank do to maintain low delinquency rates?
Codel: This starts with strong responsible lending principles and prudent underwriting. For these reasons, we didn't originate some of the loan products [that historically have] higher default rates. We will — at times, and in many places — have more conservative credit policies than those required for selling loans into government programs.
We were never driven to grow market share. This leads to dangerous decisions. Market share is the result of a good value proposition, a good sales team, a good price and doing the right thing for customers. For example, we have recently made tremendous investments in outreach through home preservation workshops and invited customers who may be having financial difficulties. We'd like to see if we can find a solution like a loan modification or other alternative besides foreclosures. This local outreach helps customers who are afraid to admit they have a problem, afraid of calling in to the large machine. [One of the most toxic mortgage products Wells Fargo acquired when it purchased the struggling Wachovia Bank in 2008 was known as Pick-a-Pay loans, originated by a bank earlier bought by Wachovia. Wells Fargo has modified 115,000 of these loans and forgiven $5.3 billion in principal on a portfolio that was $115 billion when purchased.]
BBC Capital: For the bank, how has owning a large amount of the mortgages it originates — as opposed to selling the loans into vehicles bought by investors — helped this process?
Codel: Ownership of loans has helped us with more creative thinking. It's very important to control losses and help customers who wanted to stay in houses. With an owned portfolio, principal forgiveness is easier and there's more flexibility. We own the asset, we are the investors, we can do what we think makes sense. [Wells does not disclose principal forgiveness figures.]
BBC Capital: Have you strengthened the ties between mortgages, borrower education and financial planning?
Codel: Not all customers are ready for homeownership, so now we are giving people tools to help prepare them for that and come back to Wells Fargo when they are ready. For customers who have been declined, we are offering to get them started on credit counselling and paying for initial sessions. We can't do the budgeting for them, we can't do the saving for them but we can certainly lay out the roadmap.

- Paying in cash forces you to consider the real purchase price - No matter what you're buying, the fact that you're paying in cash turns it into an entirely different experience. That's because you have no choice but to consider how much money you're paying overall, and not just what you'll have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis.
- Paying in cash might help you spend less - When you force yourself to pay in cash, big ticket items start to lose their appeal. Try walking into a dealership with the intention of paying $15,000 or $20,000 for a newer car. All of a sudden, the prospect of keeping your old paid-off junker becomes an incredibly attractive option. Am I wrong?
- Paying in cash keeps you out of debt - The best thing about refusing to finance things is that it keeps you out of debt in the first place. We all know what a slippery slope that can be. There are so many benefits to being debt-free, including the option to save more of your income, less stress, and of course, the feeling of not really being beholden to anyone. It's a freeing feeling, and it's one that I will never, ever surrender without a fight.
How do you feel about paying cash? Is it painful? Do you think it should be?

The Government is to establish a new network of Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) in each local authority area to assist in job creation.
The move was approved at today's special Cabinet meeting on jobs.
It will see extra funding of €3.5m going to the scheme, which will involve additional services including a young entrepreneurship fund and credit guarantees.
Each office will be embedded in a local authority and will develop an area plan for boosting enterprise and encouraging start ups.
There will be 31 Local Enterprise Offices with 170 dedicated staff across the country.
The Government hopes it will provide a first stop shop for local entrepreneurs.
The offices will deliver the grants, mentoring and training formerly administered by county enterprise boards.
Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton said the changes represented a radical overhaul of the disparate system of support for small businesses, which the Government inherited.
He said it would provide a single point in each county where entrepreneurs could access support for small business.
Fianna Fáil's spokesperson on jobs said that Government policies are "strangling the domestic economy".
In a statement, Dara Calleary said: "The two measures the Government could take to make a real difference are to fix the banks and stop taking money out of pockets of low and middle income families."
He said that 50% of viable businesses with good opportunities are still being turned down for loans.
"Lending to SMEs is the bread and butter activity of banks, yet they are still failing to fulfill this basic obligation," he said.

Lubbock-Cooper ISD Autism Services Director Carol Hise Discusses How To Help Students With Autism [AUDIO]
On Friday's edition of Lubbock's First News Carol Hise, director of autism services at Lubbock Cooper ISD, talked with Tom Collins and Laura Mac about how autism affects children in school.
Hise said that Cooper ISD offers a large number of services to help accommodate students with autism, such as counseling and social skill training. They also work with teachers try to provide the least distracting environment to help students with autism focus better in class. Hise said that autism can have a variety of different effects on a child, and that it's important to really get to know the child to see how they can best help them.
Karen Book, a parent of a child who is in the autism program, also joined Hise to discuss her experience with Cooper ISD. Book said that the parents of children with autism have to be their child's best advocate, and that they need to not be afraid of an autism diagnosis. She said that her son, Josh, has benefited tremendously from the program.


text: Hi to everyone. This is my first post in the Darkroom area and I would like to ask you through it your help. As a newbie in the darkroom Ive bought Mr. Mcleans book 'Creative Black and White Photography' and It helped me a lot up to now. In the examples area there are some burn-dodge plans. That is the picture to be printed separated in different areas where burn-dodge should be applied noted with times/f-stop. Ive count up to twelve different areas having most of them different instructions (i.e. burn ½ fstop). How is it possible to execute such a burn-dodge plan? Do you break the total time in small chunks and execute on each one a certain instruction? How do you approach such a task? Ive searched the site but nothing found. Any answers will be of great help. Thank you, Dimitris (Dim)

By highlighting the street art that depicts a positive light on a city's culture, we hope to encourage everyone to have a glass-half-full outlook on life.
Lisbon, Portugal (PRWEB) May 15, 2013
In today's world, chasing dreams and following your heart is believed to be a romantic notion. With terrorist plots, warring nations, and struggling economies, it is difficult for anyone to find success pursuing their dreams - particularly artists. The notion that the world today is defined by negativity and fallen hopes isn't one the founders behind project Hello Europe want to live in. Currently in the midst of an Indiegogo campaign, co-creators Guilherme Duarte, Ivo Tavares, and João Mendes, aim to help European street artists make their dreams come true.
Hello Europe has 38 days left in their crowdfunding campaign to raise enough money to fund their trip to discover buskers. In order to encourage people to help fund Hello Europe, the founders are offering Indiegogo perks of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from a Hello Europe t-shirt, to a song dedication from a busker, to traveling with the trio, there is a reward for everyone.
If one is to stroll down a bridge in Prague, venture to London's East End, walk along the Berlin wall, or wander around Paris, they may subconsciously notice the street art or performances along their journey, but the buskers behind the art remain anonymous. Even though these talented artists, musicians, and performers are a major part of a city's culture, most travelers simply walk on by, and street artists go unnoticed. However, an emerging community for recognizing and supporting street artists is beginning to form, and new projects, like Hello Europe, hope to bring busker's the recognition they deserve.
"We want to make locals and tourists alike to take a second look at buskers," says Hello Europe co-founder Guilherme Duarte. "By highlighting the street art that depicts a positive light on a city's culture, we hope to encourage everyone to have a glass-half-full outlook on life."
The three friends behind Hello Europe plan to spend 100 days in an RV, traveling to over 20 European cities. In every location they stop in, they will search and discover the three best buskers in the city. Then, a brief interview and a video displaying a busker's sketches, paintings, music, or performances will be shared with everyone following their journey via social media. Fans will then vote by liking, commenting, tweeting, and sharing their favorite street artists, and the busker with the most votes wins a prize and exposure for their work. Hello Europe's ultimate goal is to have 24 featured winning street artists, over 70 buskers with their work widely spread through social networks, and thousands of inspired followers.
Through this project, Hello Europe believes they can help everyone see life through a more positive light. By encouraging the social media world to participate in voting and making the dreams of these talented and deserving street artists a reality, this project aims to show the world we currently live in isn't a dark a place as many think. However, before Hello Europe can start their mission, they need your help to make their crowdfunding campaign a success.
To contribute to this worthwhile and inspiring project, head to Hello Europe's Indiegogo page http://igg.me/at/helloeurope. Funders' money will go towards producing a documentary on busking, some logistics, and the prizes for the 24 winning European street artists. Help Hello Europe give hope to those following their dreams, and inspire and encourage the rest of the world to do the same.
About Hello Europe
The Hello Europe project was created by a group of three friends from Portugal who want to do something different. They have all known each other for more than 25 years, and share many interests like traveling, taking photographs, meeting new people and sharing their stories. During the Hello Europe project, they will embark on an amazing adventure to create a chain of emotions. They'll travel around Europe for 100 days in an RV, visiting more than 20 countries with a main goal: find the best street performers of each city, and help them out by giving them some visibility, and spreading out the word about how amazing they are. The best in each city will receive a prize from the group. To learn more about Hello Europe, visit their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter @HelloEuropeProj.

The cream of the ACC reloads in recruiting
The top four teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference finished the 2006 regular season ranked in the top 10 nationally -- top seven if you want to get specific. Three of those teams (Duke, Wake Forest and Virginia) made it to the Elite Eight, with the Demon Deacons and the Cavaliers advancing to the College Cup.
Things again look bright for ACC soccer heading into 2007, although two of the conference's top teams will have some holes to fill. Virginia and Maryland lost two top players apiece by the time the first 10 names were called in January's MLS draft.
That said, here's a look at the new faces entering the ACC this fall:
Duke: The Blue Devils shared the conference title with in-state and conference rival Wake Forest, but took an advantage when they defeated the Demon Deacons 1-0 in overtime of the ACC tournament.
Duke experienced a tough overtime loss of its own a few weeks later, getting knocked out of the postseason by national runner-up UCLA 3-2 in the Elite Eight. Expectations will be higher than usual this fall as the team returns 10 of 11 starters from the 2006 campaign -- the lone loss being forward Chris Loftus, who was picked up by the New England Revolution in the MLS supplemental draft.
Still, the focus this offseason appears to have been on strengthening the backfield. Coach John Rennie has brought in two defenders of national team caliber, Doug Ferner and Christian Ibeagha. Many experts consider Ferner to be the top incoming defender in the nation and one of the top recruits overall. Ibeagha is a two-time All-American who is training with the U-17 national team in Bradenton, Fla. The addition of forward Nick Sih (one of six players to receive both youth and high school All-American honors from the NSCAA in 2006) and attacking midfielder Cole Grossman will add depth to the Blue Devils' offense.
Wake Forest: Co-champions in the ACC, the Demon Deacons advanced to the College Cup before falling to eventual champion UCSB. Seven of last year's starters were underclassmen, giving those in Winston-Salem, N.C., reason to be excited about the 2007 season even before the newest crop of Deacs was announced. Wake Forest snagged Corbin Bone, one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation. The midfielder (out of Plano, Texas) was the 2006 NCSAA Youth Soccer Player of the Year and is exactly what a team that graduated three MLS draft picks at the position needs.
Because of Wake's relative youth, filling the holes left by Well Thompson (New England), Ryan Solle (New England) and Steve Curfman (Salt Lake) was the only real concern in the offseason. In addition to Bone, coach Jay Vidovich brings in midfielders Russ Coleman (Norman, Okla.) and Jeff Leach (New Canaan, Conn.). Both have ODP regional-level experience, and Leach is a two-time NSCAA All-American. Ike Opara rounds out the letter of intent signees as the only non-midfielder in the lineup. Opara, a defender out of relatively nearby Durham, battled injuries as a high school player, but Vidovich sees potential in his abilities.
Virginia: The Cavaliers had three players taken in January's MLS draft, including redshirt freshman Bakary Soumare by the Chicago Fire with the No. 2 pick overall. Four picks later, Colorado took midfielder Nico Colaluca. Forward Adam Cristman went in the fourth round to complete the trifecta.
However, long before his former players' names were called in Indianapolis, Virginia coach George Gelnovatch had begun working to find their replacements.
"With Bakary Soumare, we kind of thought that this might happen, that he might leave early," Gelnovatch said. "So we recruited in advance and picked up a couple of very good backs in Givens and Cyrus."
Colin Givens and T.J. Cyrus have U-18 national team experience. Cyrus was the NSCAA Virginia Player of the Year, and Givens received All-American honors from the coaching organization. Filling the void left by the second pick in the draft is a challenge, but Gelnovatch said he expects both players -- as well as the school's three other recruits -- to have a noticeable impact their first year with the Cavs.
Goalkeeper Danny Louisignau and midfielder Jimmy Simpson have experience at the ODP regional team level.
However, the team's lone player without some sort of national team experience might be the biggest signing.
"Jason Kim has the potential to be, in my opinion, the top recruit in the entire country," Gelnovatch said. "One guy who's tough to replace is the No. 6 overall pick, Nico Colaluca. We feel like Kim is a guy that's kind of going to help fill that attacking void."
Maryland: The Terrapins find themselves in a situation almost identical to Virginia's. Maryland lost junior midfielder Maurice Edu and sophomore goalkeeper Chris Seitz to the professional ranks -- with Edu being the top overall choice and Seitz going fourth.
"We have a little bit of a bigger challenge this year because we've had some guys decide to leave early," coach Sasho Cirovski said of the recruiting process back in December, a week after Seitz and Edu declared themselves eligible for the draft.
Cirovski signed a six-player class comprising two keepers, two midfielders, a forward and a defender -- to help fill those holes and improve the Terps overall. Although it will be tough to replace the players Cirovski described as the best defensive midfielder and best goalkeeper in the nation, Maryland has a few talented recruits who will vie for the right to replace the pair of top-five draft picks.
Thorne Holder will be the favorite for the starting job between the pipes. Holder is the starting keeper for Trinidad and Tobago's U-23 Olympic pool and has international experience with the Soca Warriors youth national team. The team also signed local product Will Swaim as a goalkeeper. Throw last year's backup Josh Mikulewicz into the mix, and it's going to be interesting to see how things shake out in the net.
Yannick Salmon is a good pickup, and Cirovski believes he is capable of playing a center back role in addition to playing midfield. Salmon, captain of the East Regional ODP team and a member of the U-17 Jamaican national team, will add depth to the lineup. The same can be said for forward Billy Cortes, who played for a Mission Viejo Pateadores club known for producing high-level collegiate players -- including Edu.
Editor's note: Up next week, Maria Burns completes her look at the ACC's incoming faces as she examines how the rest of the teams will rely on their recruits to help them as they try to move into the conference's upper echelon.

wikiHow to Use a Foam Roller
Three Methods:Massaging muscles with the foam rollerExercising muscles with the foam rollerGetting rid of back muscle painsCommunity Q&A
Foam rollers are molded exercise equipment that can be used for stabilization exercises and muscle massage. They are commonly used by athletes because of their versatility, durability and low cost. This article will teach you how to use a foam roller in several different ways.
Massaging muscles with the foam roller
1Obtain a foam roller. You may want to borrow a foam roller before you invest in your own.
- Use a foam roller at the gym. If you cannot find a foam roller in the facility, ask the front desk. They may be located in the physical therapy or classroom section of the gym.
- Borrow or buy a foam roller at a physical therapy office. Injured athletes frequently include foam rolling in their recovery routine. If you know someone who is a physical therapist, they may be able to loan you 1 for a short time.
- Take a pilates class. Pilates studios keep foam rollers on hand and they often incorporate them into their core and stretching classes.
- Buy a foam roller. Go to a local sports equipment store or look online. Get a high-density foam roller or a roller with a PVC core for maximum durability. They are available for $10 to $50.
2Find an exercise area. You will need a flat space that is approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m) in order to stretch your body on the roller.
3Prepare yourself for some muscle pain. The process of myofascial release, or self-massage, requires you to press down with your body weight on the soft tissue called fascia. The pain on tight muscles is akin to that experienced during Swedish massage.
- Try to find a private space if you experience intense muscle pain. You will learn to control the level of pain by placing more or less body weight on the roller.
- Focus on your tightest muscle groups. Although they will initially cause more pain, this is what the foam roller is designed to treat.
4Begin deep massage with the foam roller. Start by sitting on the floor with the foam roller beneath your bent knees. Begin with your hamstrings.
- Place your arms behind you and rest the majority of your weight on the arms, keeping them right below your shoulders.
- Lift your butt up and rest your hamstrings on the foam roller. It should sit right below your buttocks. This is at the beginning, or proximal, part of the muscle.
- Allow the roller to move down slightly and back up. This is a short kneading motion that will target the fascia.
- Glide the roller down the length of your hamstrings. Use smaller rolling, kneading motions, taking at least 1 minute to move the entire length of the muscle.
- Control the amount of pressure and pain with your arms. Lower the arms or straighten them to adjust.
- Massage the entire length of the muscle 3 to 4 times before moving on.
5Do a foam roller massage routine to target tight muscle groups.
- Move on to your calves, after you have done your hamstrings. Start just below the knee joint and massaging the entire length for 3 to 4 repetitions. Focus on particularly tight areas for longer, kneading them for 1 to 2 minutes before rolling the entire length of the muscle again.
- Try the foam roller on your buttocks. Start at the top, just below the hip bones. Use kneading motions in the fleshiest parts of the muscle. For added targeting, get into figure 4 position, with your right shin resting on your left thigh as you roll. Switch sides and repeat.
- Turn on your side and work on the muscles in the hips. Use your legs and elbow to keep you steady on your side as you work from the top of the hip down to the upper thigh.
- Flip over onto the roller. Get into a plank position. Target your hip flexors and quadriceps.
- Target tight spinal muscles with the roller. Begin at the bottom of the spine and move in short, gentle rolls toward the top, near the shoulders. #*You may hear cracking as tension is released. Do not try this area if you have severe spinal problems.
6Pay attention to muscle tension. Each person is different, so tailor your routine to the tightest muscles.
- Assess when your muscles begin to release. You may find the pain is less acute or the muscle is suppler after rolling.
- Repeat several times per week. Many athletes use rollers for massage every other day.
Exercising muscles with the foam roller
1Set up an exercise area. Grab an exercise mat on a flat surface. You can leave your shoes on, or use it with bare feet.
2Prepare your body for stability exercises. Warm up with 5 minutes of cardio before you work your back and stomach muscles.
3Do a plank. Get into a pushup position on the mat.
- A plank position is the same as a pushup position, where your body weight is resting on your feet and hands. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles, while your core muscles work to keep you stabilized in this position. Get out of the position, while you ready the foam roller for use in an advanced plank position.
- Place the foam roller on the mat where your hands will be. Get into plank position with your hands pressing down on the foam roller. It should be more difficult, because the foam roller tries to move. You will get extra benefit by working the muscles harder while you hold the position.
- You can also do the plank position on your forearms. Clasp your hands together and make sure your elbows are directly below your shoulders as they rest on the foam roller. This is a slightly easier variation, because you do not have to keep the entire length of your arms stable. However, it is easier on the wrist and shoulder joints.
- Hold the plank for 1 minute. You can also do advanced push ups in this position.
- Move the foam roller to the bottom of your mat. Try the plank and push up while your feet stabilize the roller.
4Do abdominal exercises on the foam roller. Place the roller parallel with your spine. You should feel some instability with side-to-side motion.
- Stabilize yourself with your feet while you do crunches or twisting oblique exercises.
- Stabilize yourself with 1 foot (0.3 m) at a time, during lower abdominal exercises. Keep your upper body lifted off the foam roller from the shoulders upward.
5Do a lunge. Place your foam roller slightly behind you while you stand on your mat.
- Stand with your feet hip width apart. Place your body weight on your left leg and you reach your toes back to rest on the foam roller.
- Bend your left knee and roll the foam roller back, balancing with your left leg.
- Repeat on the opposite side 5 to 10 times. This exercise will improve balance when done 2 to 3 times per week.
Getting rid of back muscle pains
A roller can ease back pain. However, never to do this on an injured muscle. If you do this technique on an injured muscle, there is a risk it will only make the pain or injury worse.
1Roll around with your back on the roller. Keep rolling and using it to massage yourself until you find a painful knot. Stay on the knot for a while and concentrate on the pain.
2If the pain makes you want to get of, do it. You only need to keep your muscle on that roller as long as you can bear it.
3Relax. If the muscle you just massaged is in pain or feels weird, rest it. Usually after you use this method the muscle you used it on will be a little sour.
4If the muscle hurts the next day or if another muscle hurts, repeat the technique on that muscle and soon you will get used to doing this. It's actually easy to get used to pain or something painful it you put your mind to it.
Community Q&A
- Ask your local gym if they give classes on how to use foam rollers. Some gyms include instruction as a free service to their clients.
- Most physical therapists recommend a foam roller with a PVC core. Studies suggest that the firmness of the foam roller increases the benefit to your muscles.
- Never use a foam roller on an injured muscle. Consult your doctor or physical therapist before using it for exercise or stretching purposes.
- Beware that the foam roller is not intended for use on some joints, such as knees and elbows. It targets muscles and soft tissue, so place it on the muscle before starting your massage routine.

I am an Xbox user so don't have alpha. I want to see how unique armor can be so post pictures of your guardian here on this thread. Either with or without his/her helmet on. If this thread lives until beta ill edit it and you can put your beta guardian here to. The top 5 who have the most beast mode armor after a while get to be ranked here. Happy armor hunting my fellow guardians! May luck (and awesome loot) be with you! (Yes I know the alpha has limited armor show what you have anyway)
Well I got the full sets of [green] type armor on all Titan, Hunter and Warlock (next level above common, but highest possible to wear in the Alpha.. though I got [Blue/purple]-Rare gear, it is Lv.10+ :\) They all have like a camo look to it, with various color schemes, so that will probably be the difference armor wise.. I think the rarest things are like the Class specific items.. like the Cloak, Arm Band, Satchel.. the NPC refreshes like every 1-2 hrs I believe, so some times you may possibly never see that same item again, or not that same color scheme/design for a long time. My favorite armors so far has to be the Faction armors.. those look more unique, sadly you won't be the only one with it, but it looks cool.. The tower only shows us the Dead Orbit, New Monarchy and Future War Cult areas.. but since I already wanted to be Dead Orbit, I guess I am bias to their gear.. I just dislike how their area is in a dark corner in the back where the boxes are.. while the other Factions have lounge and couch areas.. but New Monarchy definitely looks cool.. like royalty. But based on the small descriptions on the gears, I can gain a light idea what those factions are about and I am still leaning to Dead Orbit, unless Seven Seraphs turns out to win me over. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble here... Sorry I don't have a screenshot on hand, but thought a description would be better than nothing :)
The customization, and generally everything, is EXTREMELY limited. Vast amounts of features are inaccessible
We can only get to level 8. Most of the funky looking stuff isn't wearable.
Most armors aren't shown just basic stuff and some uncommon stuff.
Armors aren't that great in the Alpha.
We streamed some gameplay the other night. We rolled a new warlock and played through the mission and did some free roaming. Loot is abound!
This shot was taken right after my initial character creation. Became even more badass after I got some swag. (Will post another later).I put about 7 hours into the Alpha and I suspect I will be losing copious tracts of time in the beta and final release. The most important aspect of the game for me, (and I speak only for myself), is the feel of combat....and it feels tighter than a needle up Ann Coulter's butt. The visual style is fantastic. The UI is easy to navigate. And this is the first MMO that I am actually looking forward to interacting with other players rather than lone-wolfing it. I must admit I was surprised that the voice acting was a little bland. But I simply don't care that much. Bungie shoots....Bungie scores.
i really just had to bump my own thread :(

The weed everyone's asking about
When today's email, with photos, came in, I decided I had better make a few images of the offending plant of my own. So I waltzed on out the door of my office building and into this slightly weedy flowerbed twenty feet away.
This species is a winter annual, and those little rosettes of leaves are often evident from late fall on through the winter. This growth habit enables the plants to pop forth early in the spring, and burst into flower and fruit with vigor before most other plants have reached the reproductive stage.
Hairy bittercress has been around ever since I began botanical field work around 1990. But it surely has become much more abundant since then. The first Franklin County, Ohio collection dates to 1898, but back then it would have been a seldom-seen oddity. By 1991, the mustard had been collected in at least 29 Ohio counties, but definitely was scarcer than today, and I'm confident that it is easily found now in all 88 of our counties. No one collected this plant in Michigan until 1976, but I'm sure it isn't hard to find up there now.
Why is hairy bittercress becoming so prolific? In a word, nurseries. Many of the first collections in the "wild" come from greenhouses and nurseries, where hairy bittercress would pop up as a weed. Such a growing environment sets the stage for an eventual massive escape. The tiny, prolific seeds easily adhere to feet, digging implements, and anything else they come into contact with. Thus, the soil that nursery stock is planted and transported in eventually becomes infested with hairy bittercress seed.
As localized infestations become more severe, the plants are more easily spread, not only in the local yardscape but also to new sites. Before long a giant mustardish snowball is rolling downhill and out of control, casting seeds far and wide. And now, we are at the point where there is such a proliferation of hairy bittercress that nearly everyone notices the plants.
Fortunately, because of their diminutive stature and propensity for growing in open, already highly disturbed environments, Cardamine hirsuta does not cause much harm to most natural areas. That's not to say that it can't; infestation of a habitat SUCH AS THIS could be very bad for some of our highly specialized native mustards.
I'm afraid hairy bittercress will be the bane of many a gardener for some time to come.

Thank you once again Jim! I was just getting ready to look this plant up in my wildflower guide. Two different people have asked me about it too, it seems to often be confused with chickweed.

We haven't seen this one ... yet. I hope we don't.
We keep a weedy garden through the time that bird migrations are over for Spring. So I am always scouting out the weed patch.

Thank you!! Our gardens are full of this weed! I have never seen so much of it, but at least now I know what to call it.
- March 27, 2012 at 7:56 AM
AWESOME. Just yesterday I wondered what all those weeds were, and came home from work to see that my dad have picked tons of the stuff from our landscaping. Now I know what it is! My book refers to it as "hoary bittercress" but a quick google revealed both to be accepted. Neat!

Australian police and customs authorities have seized drugs worth more than $30 million hidden in boxes of raisins from Afghanistan, according to news reports.
The 476 pound haul, allegedly containing 213 pounds of heroin and 260 pounds of pseudoephedrine, was "stashed in the lining of 3,105 cartons of red raisins shipped via Iran," according to the Herald Sun.
Pseudoephedrine — in its retail form, a decongestant — is used as a key ingredient in the production of the illicit drug methamphetamine, apparently also referred to as "crystal meth," "ice," "shabu," "speed," "shit," or "glass."
According to the literature, it would appear that meth reached its zenith in terms of abuse in around 2005.
A survey of 500 county law enforcement agencies in 45 states, by the National Association of Counties, indicated that a majority regarded methamphetamine as their largest drug problem.
NBC News reported at the time that this cheap, lasting drug "pumps up the sex drive and makes users feel super-human. Methamphetamine is also extremely addictive and is plowing through the nation, from coast to coast and from city to countryside, leaving behind a trail of broken families and destroyed lives."
The RAND Corporation, a research firm, reported that:
The economic cost of methamphetamine use in the United States reached $23.4 billion in 2005, including the burden of addiction, premature death, drug treatment and many other aspects of the drug.
Statistics show that Australia experienced its own spike in meth abuse about the same time.
The country's National Drug and Alcohol Research Center report revealed "a surge in the numbers of people using drugs like speed, base, ice and crystal meth," Australia's ABC reported at the time.
Tuesday's drug seizure will not surprise the folks at the Asia & Pacific Amphetamine-Type Stimulants Information Centre, who consider Australia's illicit methamphetamine markets to be "highly dynamic."
It's worth a trip to the website just to read about the novel, exotic and quite dastardly ways drug traffickers conceal their product in shipments around the region.
On Tuesday, Australian police said Customs officers "identified inconsistencies" in the raisin shipment when examining the boxes with X-ray.
A 34-year-old Sydney man was charged with importing a commercial quantity of drugs and faces life in prison and a large fine if convicted, Agence France-Presse reported.
Australia's Minister for Home Affairs and Justice, Brendan O'Connor, told the SMH that Australian customs and police had three weeks ago seized 660 pounds of cocaine from a yacht in Bundaberg, Queensland, and about 600 pounds of cocaine from a consignment of lawnmowers in Melbourne.
"These seizures show how dedicated these agencies are to stopping these drugs from entering Australia and keeping them off our streets," O'Connor reportedly said.

CEMETERY, (north bank of Hwy. 72 W.), LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA
Locator Maps Area Views.
Three slabs lined up across the bottom of the photo and one upright stone that is the headstone for William M. Donaldson. The William Donaldson monument consists of two parts the Slab grave cover and the upright at the head of the grave and slab. All three of these graves are next to a very busy highway 72.
BYRDE, Lucey, 15 Nov 1793
- 10 Mar 1857.
DONALDSON, William M., 21 Aug 1805 - 15 Nov 1842. (footstone for William M. Donaldson propped against the cedar stump with the initials W.M.D. ) "a mark of esteem for (the) departed worth this marble, is erected by his wife Nancy Donaldson."
DONALDSON, Nancy, 31 May 1795 - 21 Jun 1859. (wife of William M. Donaldson.)
There are three large slabs, 1 upright tombstone also marks the head of the middle slab and 2 field- stones. The Lucy Byrde memorial is already being undermined by soil erosion and will eventually slide into the ditch below without maintenance. Also grass does not grow on the bank south (next to) of Lucey's tomb and there is a danger that without grass the soil will wash away and expose grave remains.

Crosstown cat fight: Wildcats get better of Tigers once again
The Fruita Monument High School volleyball team used its familiarity with a crosstown rival as an advantage.
Tuesday night at Fruita, the Wildcats cruised to a 25-19, 25-10, 25-17 win against Grand Junction.
"We knew where they played their defense, how they set their defense, and knew what their setter wanted to do," Fruita Monument senior setter Vanessa Bodie said. "We were prepared this match more than the last one."
The Wildcats (13-1, 4-1 Southwestern League) defeated Grand Junction (5-11, 0-6 SWL) in mid-September 27-25, 25-15, 25-15.
Fruita Monument coach Bob Richardson said the Wildcats were too excited for the first match, and did a better job of controlling emotions the second time around.
"It's a rivalry and everyone is going to be working their hardest," Richardson said. "They aren't going to give up, so we knew we had to dial it back and play our game."
The Wildcats survived a five-point run by the Tigers in the first game that tied it 15-15. Fruita responded with a five-point swing of its own, and held the momentum the rest of the game.
Fruita took control in the second game, taking a 10-2 lead, propelled by three aces by Janine Kirtland. The Wildcats pushed their lead to 20-7 before closing out the game.
"In the second game, they had a tough time with our serves," Richardson said. "We wanted to serve tough, and we might make some errors, but we want to make it hard on them."
Kirtland finished with four aces and Bodie added three.
Fruita Monument trailed most of the third game before a kill by freshman Joelle Lefevre helped the 'Cats tie the game 16-16. The Wildcats got another big kill from Lefevre at 19-17, and finished the game with a block by Ashley Martin.
The Wildcats showcased some of their underclassmen in the final game as Lefevre and sophomores Eiley Durham and Cynthia Brown helped close out the match.
"It was really cool to see the younger girls," Bodie said. "They are the future of our program, so it was nice to see them go in."
Camille Kovach led the Wildcats with nine kills. Angie Archuleta had 15 assists and Bodie added 10.
Kirkland had 11 digs to go along with her four aces.
On the other side, Grand Junction couldn't hide its disappointment with its play.
"That was hard," Grand Junction coach Leslie Vines said. "We've worked all season on becoming a team and we kind of came apart tonight."
Kricket Adleman and Justine Roof both had five kills for the Tigers. Capri Rino finished with 21 digs and Rachel Stahl, Hannah Kimmel and Roof all had three blocks.
Grand Junction is off until next Tuesday, when the Tigers host Central. The Wildcats play Palisade on Thursday.
"We set a goal to win the valley," Richardson said. "We've beaten Central and Grand Junction, now we get to see a tough Palisade team."

In four days, on Nov. 17, the founders of six young businesses just getting started in the Tampa Bay area will each deliver an 8-minute "pitch" from the stage of St. Petersburg's swank Mahaffey Theater to an audience of investors and interested locals. The goal of each of the founders, of course, is to convince deep-pocket people that their startup, their business idea and the confident tone in their relentlessly practiced pitch is worth the risk of putting some capital behind efforts to make local businesses grow. There's great risk in all this. What if the investors are not impressed enough to open their wallets? My guess is some funding will occur. But there is even greater opportunity. Entrepreneurial activity is starting to percolate across this metro area. And this event is just the latest example of a new regional push to help make business startups and new jobs take better hold here.
Thursday's pitch day for these six startups is called Demo Day. It is the culmination of an intense 90-day crash course led by a team of five advisers — all entrepreneurs and business teachers — who are behind the Gazelle Lab business accelerator at the College of Business at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.
"We are exhausted but we are excited," says Daniel James Scott, 33, who teaches entrepreneurship at USF St. Petersburg while leading Gazelle Lab through its first cycle of helping startup businesses.
To be blunt, the Tampa Bay area — in fact, all of Florida — is desperately behind the times when it comes to providing the kind of economic climate needed for smart people to start smart businesses and let them grow. All six of these startups are technology firms leveraging the Internet in clever ways to provide valuable information to consumers and to businesses seeking more efficient ways to sell their products. These are not people starting more T-shirt shops, gas stations or convenience stores.
In talking with founders from the six startups, they praised their overall Gazelle Lab experience. But many voiced some concern about whether their young tech businesses can find both the funding and talent locally to allow their companies to take root and grow here.
But every one of the startups is willing to give it a local shot.
Bret Tobey, founder of the startup AutoIQ, grew up here but lived for years in California, where the tools to start companies are readily available. But now he's back in Tampa.
"Gazelle Lab changed my thinking," Tobey says. There is talent here, but it's still harder to find, he says. "Everybody in the economic community needs to know that without high-value jobs, we could become a parking lot for call centers."
Startup founder Greg Ross-Munro says he has friends and ex-employees in the San Francisco area who tell him, "Come on out, the money tap is on." People are not making money in the stock market. And who wants to make 1 or 2 percent in a T-bill? says Ross-Munro, founder of Tampa's Teburu, a startup that builds online menu ordering systems for restaurants.
"Some people would prefer to invest in startups," he says. "But if it does not work here," California is always an option.
You could say Gazelle Lab is really one entrepreneurial startup that is trying to encourage other entrepreneurial startups in the Tampa Bay area. The Times has followed Gazelle Lab since the summer when the advisory team began plowing through 100 applications of startup businesses seeking to make the final six.
Demo Day happens to be taking place during Global Entrepreneurship Week, which starts Monday.
Red Hawk Interactive founder Sean Davis, whose startup is one of Gazelle Lab's inaugural six, says he's sure that there will be one or two success stories coming out of the program. And that, he says, will have a huge impact on the community.
"It just takes a few people willing to jump into the deep end of the pool before everybody else goes in as well. Thankfully we've got people" — he rattles of the names of Gazelle Lab advisers — "to help push things along."
We should see a good measure of that momentum come Demo Day.
"We have started an experiment," says Gazelle Lab's Scott. "It's a start at building a more comprehensive entrepreneurial scene here."
And that, by almost any measure, is something to be seriously encouraged.

AMNESTY International has called for the immediate release of a Scottish man with severe mental health problems who is facing death by beheading under Pakistan's blasphemy laws.
Mohammad Asghar, from Edinburgh, was tried and condemned for sending letters to government officials claiming to be the Muslim prophet Mohammed.
Polly Truscott, Amnesty's deputy Asia Pacific director, said: "Mohammad Asghar is now facing the gallows simply for writing a series of letters. He does not deserve punishment. No-one should be charged on the basis of this sort of conduct.''

During closed proceedings at the Adiala prison in Rawalpindi, Asghar's defence team argued that the 65-year-old was suffering from mental illness.
They said he had been treated for paranoid schizophrenia in Edinburgh before he returned to Pakistan in 2010.
However, the judges rejected their arguments. Lawyers said they will appeal against the conviction, but remain worried about Asghar's condition and safety.
The British High Commission in Islamabad said it was aware of Asghar's case and provided assistance to him.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "We strongly opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. As a minimum we would urge the Pakistani authorities to abide by the moratorium they have on the death penalty. Our thoughts are with Mr Asghar's family at this difficult time."

I'm reading through this site regarding REST - http://rest.elkstein.org. I'm reading this in order help me have a stronger understanding before I diver further into frameworks such as angular and others. Additionally I'm looking into WP-API - https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API.
Most my experience is in graphic design and front-end development excluding JS. So that's where I'm coming from. Obviously I need to learn more JS but I'm curious if there is other information I should research in order to better grasp the latest JS frameworks and trends. I'm occasionally coming across terms I don't have a strong understanding of such as stateless.

Berry and Peach Cobbler with Corn Flour Cobbles
by Deborah Madison
**Please note that these recipes have not been tested in the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen**
Serves 8 to 10
"I didn't understand why people got swoony about the combination of peaches and blueberries until I spent a few summers in the Northeast. When those local blueberries came in, along with peaches, they were indeed something to get excited about. Here in New Mexico we might be more inclined (or, rather, able) to use raspberries for our local berry. Elsewhere, the blackberry or huckleberry might be your best choice. Either way, the yellow corn flour dumplings end up surrounded with scarlet or purple juice. I like to drop the topping by spoonfuls to get a cobbled look. If you prefer to roll out the topping and cut it into diamonds, circles, hearts, or other shapes, add another 1/3 cup flour or corn flour to make a dough that's rollable and easy to handle. I prefer it to polenta, which I feel is too coarse and hard here."
The Fruit
6 to 8 peaches or nectarines (about 6 cups sliced)
2 cups blueberries, huckleberries, blackberries, or others
3 tablespoons maple sugar or organic brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch or 5 to 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
The Topping
1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
2/3 cup corn flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup maple sugar or organic white or light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced into small pieces
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk or milk and yogurt combined
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 21/2-quart baking dish. If using peaches, dip them into boiling water for 5 to 10 seconds, then pull off the skins. Pit and slice the fruit, put it in a bowl with the berries, and toss with the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Let stand while the oven heats and you make the biscuit topping.
Mix the flour, corn flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then cut in the butter using 2 knives or your fingers.
Beat the eggs with the vanilla and buttermilk. Using a fork or your fingertips, lightly stir these wet ingredients into the flour mixture until it is mixed evenly. It will be rather wet.
Transfer the fruit to the baking dish. Then drop the cobbler batter by small spoonfuls over the top, covering the entire surface. Bake in the center of the oven until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling around the edge, about 25 minutes. Let cool and settle for at least 20 minutes before serving.

SWCC Upward Bound Robotics Team Earns Place in World Competition
On April 22, 2014, the SWCC Upward Bound Richlands High Techie Tornadoes robotics team left for St. Louis, MO to compete in the World FIRST FTC Robotics Championship. The Techie Tornados were invited to this event since they are the Virginia State Champs and one of the top five teams on the east coast.
While at the world championship, the team competed in ten qualifying matches. The first match was with a team from Saudi Arabia and the last match was with a team from Taiwan. The team did not make it into the finals, but the Techie Tornados accomplished so much more! They are one of only two teams from the 165 Virginia teams to compete at the world championship. They are one of 128 teams invited to this world event out of 3,300 teams worldwide. By placing in the top 50 teams at the event, they finished in the top 2% of teams worldwide. Also, students talked with astronauts and engineers from NASA, billion dollar technology company COE's, and made international friendships.
The Techie Tornados would like to thank all the volunteers and sponsors for their generosity throughout the season. A huge thank you goes to Ricky Keen, a software engineer from CGI in Lebanon, who has volunteered his time and went above and beyond as he played a huge part in all aspects of the team. The community rallied around this team and has given financial support. The Upward Bound programs would like to thank Consol Energy, Power-Trac of Tazewell, Tazewell County Board of Supervisors, Southwest Virginia Community College and Richlands High School.
The Southwest Virginia Community College Upward Bound Robotics team from Richlands High School (RHS) competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge East Super Regional Competition in York, PA on April 3-5. There were a total of seventy-two teams and hundreds of students from twelve northeast states (Maine to Virginia) competing. These teams advanced to this competition by winning top honors at their respective state competitions. The Richlands High Upward Bound team won the Virginia state championship at the March 1 competition.
The Techie Tornados, from RHS, led the pack throughout most of the competition. They finished the qualifying rounds with only one loss out of eight matches, making them the highest ranked team in their division. During the elimination rounds, they were the captain of the number one seeded alliance, along with the "RoboGamers," from New York City, and the "GearTicks," from Lincoln, Massachusetts. The three team alliance made it through the division semi-finals and finals becoming the "Hopper Division" Champions. This alliance lead by the RHS Upward Bound Techie Tornadoes set a United States record along the way for a the highest score by any team without the help of penalty points and the team placed second overall.
The Techie Tornados are ranked among the top eight teams in the United States and secured a spot for the World Competition held on April 23-26 in St. Louis, MO to face one hundred and twenty-seven of the top teams from the United States and sixteen other countries!
For more information or to sponsor the team with financial assistance for travel to St. Louis, please contact Brandon Honaker, team coach, at (276)964-7779 or email@example.com.

Ok I am lost on all this.... I'm going to cdl school next monday so they will teach me this I suppose but I'm curious what these things mean right now. lol
Can someone explain the 34 hour restart? DO you actually have to sit for 34 hours straight after 70 hours of driving time or am I wrong? What exactly do you do during this 34 hours, just hang out at a truck stop?
I was thinking I would be driving 14 hours a day and sleeping 10 for either two or three weeks straight and then come home for a few days off. Is that not the case?
On the 70 hour rule....is that saying you can onl;y drive 70 hours a week?
Can you drive 14 hours a day straight through?
Sorry if these questions are dumb but as of right now I am dumb lol I have never been around anybody that ran otr so this is all new to me
Thanks for the help.
Oh and if you do have to just sit for 34 hours straight at a truck stop I'm not sure what I will do....probably run illegal

You can only drive 11 hours a day. Not after being on duty for 14 hours. You need 34 hours off to regain your 70 back.
11? what do you do the other 13 hours? do you get to go home for the 34 hours off, or do you just sit wherever you are?
in that 14 hours you can drive the max of 11 hours
after that you have to park for 10 hours
after 10 hour break you can repeat that process
You can do that over and over till you hit the max of 70 hours
70 hours would consist of line 3 and 4 on in the log book being added up
line 3 being driving
line 4 would be on duty not working.
on duty not working consist of time used such as pre, trip, fueling, unloading a trl (you unloading the trl) and many other items you will be taught in class..
After you reach 70 you can not move your truck
Now you need to look into the 70 hour rule
70 hours in 8 days
So, if you exceed up to 70 within 8 day you may have to take a 34hr break
then it will reset your clock and you can start from zero again..
Now lets say you ended up with 70 hours on the 8th day you count back 7 days and write down the number of hours you used on line 3 and 4..
then at midnight you would gain those hours back.. So, lets say 7 days ago you had 10 hours on line 3 and 4... So at midnight on the 8th day you would gain 10 hours you could use on the ninth day, but no more then that for the entire 24 hour period...
And yes if you hit your 70 you must park the truck even if your not at home...
MOST OTR drivers if needed take 34 hour breaks out on the road away from the home.. Some drivers get home every weekend and have the option to do it at home...xllxmrjohnxllx, RFBrown61 and Crane Thank this.
thanks for the info!
seems like it would be pretty easy to hit 70 hours in 8 days to me. Are you otr? What do you usually do? I guess it just depends on if things are slow or not huh?
I just really don't like the idea of being off somewhere away from home having to sit for 34 hours. But I also don't want to only drive 8 hours a day to stay under 70.
Thanks again for the help, I'm sure I will start to understand it all before too long
That's all I have done is drive OTR.. Well it all just depends if you will hit your 70 or not and need to take a 34.. Been with several companies that I would rarely hit it.. Why? well they will run you hard for 3-4 days then all of a sudden you will be sitting more then driving.. So, you would not hit 70 in a 8 day period..
My last company that I miss dearly would run me till i said no more.. I would hit my 70 every week... I loved it this way. Company went out of business arguably cause of the current fuel prices..
Now is it fun sitting out on the road for a 34? Well it all depends where you are at.. Sometimes your out in the middle of nowhere and it totally sucks.......... You can plan a little in order to prevent it but its not always going to end up the way you want it too, its trucking...
Things too do? well I have a PlayStation 3, laptop, extensive movie collection and several other ways I keep myself occupied .. If you don't then you will find yourself spending a lot of money in the truckstop trying to keep yourself occupied.. Always nice to be near a city where you can go around in a little as well.. I guess I have been lucky far as that goes cause I know people just about everywhere I go.. A phone call and I have a ride to go get in some trouble...
Anyways, its basically up to you on how much its going to suck sitting... used to bother to no end when I first started.. I am the type of person that has to be doing something at all times. On top of that I basically have insomnia as well.. So, I used to be pulling my hair out and complaining to my dispatcher too get me moving blah blah blah.. Well over time you will learn that does not help at all to get you rolling so make the best of it..
Anyways good luck, keep your head on strait, keep calm and most important pay attention in class.. Try to get everything you can from it and stay away from the people who are just there to pass and not learn..
another tip
Don't be shy to get out and look, your record is more important then your pride..
And don't hit my truck
Good luck!!!xllxmrjohnxllx and RFBrown61 Thank this.

70 hour rule: YOu are only allowed to work 70 hours in 8 days. Therefore if I am starting my day today I shoud total up the hours I worked the LAST 7 days and subtract that from 70 hours. The answer is how many hours I have available for today (because today is my 8th day). There is an example of how to fill out the recap on the log sheet "IF" you have the recap like mine is laid out. Just say the last 7 days (between lines 3 & 4) the total hours I "HAVE" WORKed TOTALS to 60 hours, that means today I only have 10 hour available to work. That means todays lines 3 & 4 should not total more than 10 hours of line 3 or 4 time.
The 11 & 14 hour rule is this: say # 12:15 am you started to work today (being line 4) that started your 14 hour clock so therefore your 14 hour is up # 2:15 pm. Now you drive 11 hours straight before that 14 hour is up.
So you drive until 11:15 am. Now you do a fuel for 15 minutes, that puts you # 11:30 am. So you take your 10 hour break. Which now puts you # 9:30 pm. Now you have reset your 11 & 14 hour rule because you took a consecutive 10 hour break. So now you can drive that very same "24 hour period" 2.5 hours of driving. Now understand your "new" 11 & 14 hour period started # 9:30 pm so therefore your "new 14 hour period will end the "next" day # 11:30 am. Now from 9:30 pm to 11:30 am your driving time (line 3 only) can not total more than 11 hours of driving and you can NOT DRIVE passed that 14 hour rule.
Go to Safety regulations thread and look at the sticky threads and I have several examples "or at least one" that explains in a picture of what I am saying .
Ask questions there and I will probably help out a little more as I don't search this forumn unless I know there is a question about logs and I just so "HAPPENED' TO LOOK TONIGHT
