NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- One of my favorite quotes from the late, brilliant Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Albert Einstein is, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."Some of the medical problems and health-care treatment challenges facing millions of Americans are being addressed from new perspectives that offer both hope and immediate relief. Migraine headaches are suffered by close to 10% of the population in the U.S. What migraine sufferers want is faster, more effective pain relief. That's why an already visionary health-care company Allergan ( AGN), decided to buy Map Pharmaceuticals ( MAPP) for $958 million.
MAPP's blockbuster product, Levadex, will most likely be granted Food and Drug Administration approval in April, according to a "Mad Money" interview conducted by Jim Cramer with AGN Chairman and CEO Dr. David Pyott earlier this week. Levadex is an inhaled, faster-acting treatment for migraine sufferers. Dr. Pyott is very optimistic about future sales that will directly benefit AGN once the acquisition of MAPP is completed this year. Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements. Another "problem" AGN is solving with a new "level of consciousness" is what to do with the lagging sales of its obesity division, which is mainly tied to the Lap-Band surgical device. The solution, according to Dr. Pyott, is to sell that part of AGN's business by the middle of 2013. Allergan reported mixed earnings results on Tuesday, with revenue rising over 7% over the year ago quarter to $1.49 billion. Unfortunately, that missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.51 billion by a frog's hair. No problems, however, for the stock price -- it leap-frogged forward and hit a new 52-week high on Wednesday of $108.73.
When it comes to earnings per share, AGN also disappointed by 3 cents, yet it still rose 15% higher than the same quarter last year. What analysts and the market look at when it comes to AGN is how the MAPP acquisition and last December's $350 million purchase of SkinMedica will impact upon both sales and earnings in the quarter just ahead. It's a very optimistic outlook tempered by modest guidance.

Are Cats Really Evil?
The answer: "Partially." As it it was said in the movie Constantine: "Cats are good, half in, half out anyway."
This is my cat "Russell." He's a mix of this, that and whatever else happened to be running around the neighborhood at the time. One of a number of the six-toed little beasties that seem to all be related. Considering cats make good internet viewing content that occupies much time of our own Joey Pants, adding my own seemed like a good idea. At least for a brief moment.

Most Unbelievable 'Super Moon' Video
Subscribe to 96.5 KVKI on
For the last couple of days everyone's been talking about the 'super moon', the most spectacular full moon of the year. It appears to be so large because right now the moon's orbit around earth brings it closer than at any other time in 2013.
Our view of the moon here in the ArkLaTex was amazing, to say the least. Numerous folks around the area commented how it was so bright they could read a book or magazine while standing outside. But I think my friend Shawn said it best: 'The super moon is so big I look thin when I stand in front of it!'

WICHITA — The operator of Wichita Greyhound Park plans to try again to get legislation passed to allow slot machines at the park.
Phil Ruffin, who closed the Wichita Greyhound Park in 2007, wants slots added at the park so he can reopen it, The Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/1kvuBSR). Ruffin shut the park down after voters rejected a ballot measure to allow slot machines at the track. He has tried without success to lobby the Legislature to allow another election.
Ruffin's lobbyist, George Wingert, said Ruffin would invest between $50 million and $100 million to renovate the facility in Park City if he could install the slot machines.
Lawmakers would first have to approve a new vote for Sedgwick County residents on whether they want slot machines at the park. The Sedgwick County Commission would also have to agree to put the question on the ballot and voters would have to pass the measure.
Wingert said reopening the park would create 500 jobs and generate about $1.8 million in annual gambling revenue for Sedgwick County. He said there's also more optimism about getting a bill passed this time because of the success of the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane in nearby Sumner County.
"There's a lot more interest in what it would mean locally," he said.
Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, said he doesn't see such a bill succeeding this year.
"That's been an ongoing deal and I don't see that going anywhere. I don't think there's enough votes in the Legislature," he said. "I'm not getting any pressure to work it."

In 19th century China, two lifelong friends - Snow Flower and Lily (Gianna Jun and Li Bingbing) have evolved their own secret code as a way to contend with the rigid cultural shackles imposed on women. Their hidden language takes the form of carefully inked characters placed on the folds between the spines of a silken fan. Meanwhile, in contemporary Shanghai, two similar women are finding that things aren't so different. A tender, touching story from The Joy Luck Club director Wayne Wang. Look out for Hugh Jackman playing an Aussie singer.

When looking at the golf odds for the French Open before it began, not many people would have picked out Spanish rookie Pablo Larrazabal as a potential winner of the tournament. However, after holding the lead since the opening day, the 25-year-old held on to win his first PGA European Tour title.
Pablo Larrazabal recorded his win after finishing with a round of 67 and an overall score of 15-under. The man chasing him right until the end was Scotland's Colin Montgomerie. However, the European Ryder Cup favourite eventually finished four strokes behind the eventual winner. Finishing in third place was Denmark's Soren Hansen.
Surprisingly, there wasn't actually too many scares for Pablo Larrazabal on the final day. The closest he came to surrendering his lead was when he hit a double-bogey on the ninth to leave Colin Montgomorie just two strokes behind him. However, he recorded birdied the 15th and 18th – two of seven birdies he managed in his final round – to extend his lead once again.
Pablo Larrazabal then putted for par in his final two holes to help himself to French Open glory. If the pride of winning wasn't enough, he received a cheque for £527,800 as well – it was quite a day for the young Spaniard.
In terms of British players contesting in this tournament, Lee Westwood ended up on 7-under, a rather disappointing 8 shots off the lead. The trio of Oliver Fisher, Paul McGinley and John Bickerton finished on five-under, while 20-year-old English amateur Danny Willett finished 17th with an overall score of four-under.
As for Pablo Larrazabal, there has been some discussion whether he can make a late bid for Europe's Ryder Cup team after this success. For now though, I advise him to enjoy his moment and use it as a platform for the rest of his career to build on. Well played Pablo! It's been quite a week for the Spanish hasn't it?

Is there something out that you dont have to be injected with that will give you the same look with less pain and lasts? Do roll on fillers and creams really work or are they waste of money? The filler only lasted for about 4 months.
Are There Non-surgical Alternatives for Fillers?
Doctor Answers 2
Nothing can compete with fillers
There are no creams that can act like a filler. There are companies trying to duplicate the effect, but none have even remotely succeeded at this point. The problem is the molecules that are injected is large and (fortunately, in my opinion...otherwise we would all be dried out and dead), the skin is a great barrier to outside assault. These companies are working on carrier proteins, and ways to disassemble the ingredient it wants delivered and then reconstituted in the dermis. Maybe someday they will succeed and circumvent your needle-phobia.
Fillers vs. nonsurgical solutions
There are no specific over the counter products that I know of that can replace the filler materials that I use to fill deep lines on the face.

text: First off I want to appoligise for what I suspect will be a longer post than my usuall 2-4 lines. One of the things that were confirmed IMO at the press conference after the last Titanics game by both Kubiak and Carr is that what we seeing for an offense style is exactly what they have planned it to be. By that I don't mean bad, but rather the dink & dunk that we have all come to like and love so much. So for this tirade I will use PLAN as the emphasizing word. Kubiak was asked about the fact that we don't throw longer passes and his reply was pretty much that it was because the protection wouldn't hold up long enough, so hence they have a PLAN to throw dink and dunk because of it. Carr was asked would he want to throw long and he replied IIRC "Absolutly, but that isn't the game PLAN". So what we have is a game plan that is all about dink and dunk because of the O-line not being a capable group. Oline formation - If you look at other teams line splits they have a much wider spacing on the O-line than we do. I think it was Vinny, but might have been Coach Dent, but any way one of the guys that actually know what they are talking about, said we did that because if we have guys that aren't very good and if we want to protect better, then place them closere together. That way they don't have to be as good as others and still present some sort of a protective wall. That seems like a good idea and sort of worked however, it has had another consequence in that by doing it, you automatically make smaller running holes for the RBs as folks are packed together. Another consequense in the passing game is that the throwing lanes are small to non-exsistant because all the defensive linemen are all together and when the throw up their hands it makes for what has to look like an 8 ft tall wall with no holes. Stand about 3 feet from one of the 8ft walls in your house and imagine how you might try and trow over it. I think it started in the first J-Vill game, but it looks like the Defensive Coordinators book on the Texans is that, if by 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds you haven't reach the QB, start jumping in the air, as they are all buched together with few throwing lanes, that makes for the 8 ft wall thing. We all know that by 2 seconds they are right on top of Carr and that's why I suggested the 3 foot thing. Now, if you look at what other teams are doing with the wider splits, when the pass rush starts the defenders are much more spread out as they come in and there are lanes to throw through. IMO, it is this lack of throwing lanes, due to the close packed line protection scheme that is resulting in more balls getting batted down. So, what are we left with: 1. A scheme and game PLAN based on a lack of quality O-line play that is extremily stilted. I hear some calling for Carr to check into a long ball play. What makes you think there are any long ball plays in the PLAN to check to? I highly doubt that there are any in the PLAN that is based on dink and dunk due to poor line play. Why would there be, if you can't protect in the first place. What we are seeingis EXACTLY what the game PLAN calls for. I don't like it, but I understand why. This plan has to be very frustrating to the QB, WR and vertually everyone, but it is what we are stuck with until we have a line that can protect and operate at an NFL level. Sorry again for the long post. Actually had a couple of other thoughts, but this is starting to be War & Peace length.

|Looks like a scary 5.6 to me. Not recommended and definitely not worth fighting for a parking spot in Twin Owls parking lot.~MF
By Erik Corkran
Jul 9, 2001
|While I wouldn't drive all the way up there just to do this (and fight the parking, etc), it isn't a bad route. As mentioned, there are lots of hidden features inside the crack, and it protects with normal gear. I don't remember doing much of any actual offwidth technique, but it has been a while since I have done this route.

Jul 9, 2001
|Ouch! I did this route just a few days ago and still can't get it out of my head. I climbed the route on lead and fought it way too much. There wasn't a lot of offwidth technique that worked on the crack. I still have scratches on my back from reaching deep into the crack only to realize that there was a hidden hold just inside.

|For years I'd wanna do this route. Steve wanted to do the 11a & 11c on the crag my 1st visit. Multiple others blew it off as "not worth it," but, it's fun & worth the effort. It is even climbable in a bit of blowing snow. It might even be nicer that way cuz you're all bundled up, so skimpy clothing might suck. 6 cams, #0.75 to #4 Camalot sized plus a red Alien worked. Tape is nice. Go left at top. Classic ego re-orienter. It is a nice combo with Tree Crack. Anyone left that bone there?

|If you're small like me, 5'3", offwidth technique will come into use. I climbed it in my sneakers and got fully worked. Definitely a work out for me making me want to throw up at the top. I can Cruz most low 10s (except the sandbags like Rosy Crucifixion) on trad, even in Lumpy, and this one works me every time. Then, my buddy, a larger guy, flew up the thing with out even reaching deep or using much off width technique. A fun climb and I certainly agree with Leo, a true ego check.
By Aaron Martinuzzi
Aug 21, 2008
|"Classic ego re-orienter"? like Chris, I seriously fought with this route. A few weeks ago I had quite a pleasant run up Wolf's Tooth and found it much less taxing than this - very few foot holds outside the nasty flaring crack, and not too many rewarding handholds (jams or face), either. I'd never say this was harder than Wolf's, but I certainly had an easier time with that one.

There are some very nice, very solid handjams available in the back of the crack. OW technique needed only by those with small hands and/or short arms. I actually thought this was quite a fun pitch.
The bolt anchor at the top currently (as of March 2012) has some problems...one of the bolts is missing, and the remaining bolt is old and kinda weathered. It's also a spinner. The missing bolt either was removed or fell out (!). In any event, the anchor is poorly located. I'd recommend bringing a couple of fatty cams (#5 or bigger) and set a trad anchor about 3m below the top.

After a conversation Wednesday with Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan and after hearing a presentation Jan. 17 by two School Resource Officers (SROs) who serve in both local school systems, its evident that SROs provide much more than security for our schools.

The Wilson Post
Lebanon City Council deferred voting on an ordinance that would legalize the sale of fireworks within the Lebanon city limits at their meeting on Tuesday night.
The ordinance was brought forth by Ward 6 Councilor Kathy Warmath, who said after doing her research she found that backlash over the proposal was being ignited by a fireworks vendor who set up shop in the county, outside of Lebanon city limits.
Council members decided that a work session would first be held before the item next appeared on the agenda for vote.
Fireworks were legal to sale and shoot inside of the city limits until an incident in July 2000 when two Lebanon Police Officers were injured while responding to a call about juveniles shooting fireworks. Upon arrival, the juveniles reportedly shot fireworks at the officers.

The Wilson Post
Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan is pleased with the County Commissions commitment to do whatever necessary to ensure the safety of local students.
The county has taken proactive steps over the years. We were one of the first ones in the state to establish an SRO (School Resource Officer) program originally, he said. We started off with just a few and now we have them in the majority of schools. Other counties are looking to hire a whole lot more 25 to 30 officers.
Meanwhile, the county is looking at a number closer to 12 because the program is already established, he said, adding that most of the program is funded through the county. The school system supplies some of it.
Youth baseball in Lebanon will undergo a dramatic change this spring as sponsors of the local Little League and Dixie Youth organizations have agreed to a merger of sorts.

COLUMBIA, Ky. Lindsey Wilson College blistered the nets on 59 percent shooting night in Thursday's 82-47 win over Cumberland at the Biggers Sports Center.
The Bulldogs managed only 19 field goals compared to the Blue Raiders 35. Cumberland came into the game averaging 73 points per game, but set a season low with the 47-point output.
Elijah Gillis was the high scorer for the Bulldogs, netting nine points and also grabbing nine rebounds.
Cumberland travels Saturday to Campbellsville University for a 3 p.m. CT contest.
COLUMBIA, Ky. Cumberland forced 26 turnovers as the seventh-ranked Bulldogs posted a 57-37 victory over Lindsey Wilson here Thursday night at the Biggers Sports Center.
The CU women (17-1, 8-1 Mid-South) won the third of four straight contests on the road, limiting the Blue Raiders (12-6, 4-5) to just 32 percent shooting from the field. CU netted 24 points off the 26 LWC miscues and registered 11 steals.
Casie Cowan led a balanced scoring attack with 12 points (three 3-pointers) and Briannica Tye added 10 points and seven assists for the winners. Jessica Pace led a group of three players with eight points each and the senior grabbed a team-best seven rebounds. TaCouya Allen and Simone Ryan each posted eight points as well and London Elie recorded seven.
LWCs Ashley Rainey led all players with 17 points and 12 rebounds and Jasmine Brimm netted nine for the Blue Raiders, but Brimm committed 11 of the teams 26 turnovers. Lindsey Wilson made only 1-of-10 shots from behind the arc but hit 12-of-14 free throws compared to a 7-for-20 effort at the foul line for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs started fast, streaking out to a 15-2 advantage behind three 3-pointers one each from Josette Campbell, Tye and Allen as well as two buckets by Pace. Allens fastbreak layup forced a timeout by the Blue Raiders at the 12:20 mark, with LWC 0-for-5 from the field and six turnovers at that point.
But CU cooled off from the field and was a little sloppy with the basketball, allowing Lindsey Wilson back into the game. The home team put together a 13-4 run over a four-minute stretch in the latter part of the half that included field goals by Sarah Collins and Rainey as well as a 3-pointer from Tara Arnold. LWC also stayed in the game at the foul line, hitting 11-of-12 from the charity stripe in the period.
Cumberland finished the half strong though, with Cowan knocking down her second trifecta of the period and adding one free throw before two foul shots by Pace. Elie had a putback in the final minute and Allen kissed in a short jumper off the glass just before the halftime buzzer, giving the Bulldogs a 34-22 advantage at the break.
Allen and Cowan led the squad with seven points apiece and Pace and Simone Ryan each netted six, while Rainey netted eight points and Jasmine Brimm had seven for LWC, which finished 5-of-16 from the field in the half while the Bulldogs were 13-for-28.
The two teams played fairly even for the first five minutes of the second period before a 12-4 run by Cumberland put the game away. Ryan had a putback in the lane, Tye hit a layup and Cowan made a 3-pointer and an 18-footer. Paces bucket around the basket pushed the CU advantage to 55-34 with 6:42 remaining.
Cumberland ends the current four-game road trip with Saturdays contest at No. 9 Campbellsville University in the NAIA Game of the Week at the Powell Athletic Center.
Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m. on the Campbellsville campus.

Data Points: No workhorses? Don't get carried away
Published: June 22nd, 2011 | Tags: Adrian Peterson, Data Points, Michael Turner, Steven Jackson
While there might not be a bunch of traditional "workhorse" running backs in the league these days, there are still some guys who are toting the rock 20 times per game.
Steve Wyche penned an article Tuesday about some of these players, noting that backs such as Steven Jackson should have something left in the tank despite a large amount of carries over the years. The Rams' lead running back turns just 28 years old this summer, meaning he has two full seasons before hitting the mildew age for NFL running backs … the dreaded 30.
Meanwhile, Jackson has made a name for himself as an old-school workhorse of a back, as evidenced by his numbers over the last three years. No back, not even Burner Turner or AP, has carried the ball game in and game out as much as 3-9 on the Rams.

Road Trips: Guayaquil Ecuador
Not much more than a year ago an icon of the Expat community in Boquete Panama announced she was moving to Cunenca Ecuador. Like many people I wondered why, I told her I had money on her returning within six months. I was wrong she lasted a bit of a year. I really have no idea what motivated her move or her return but I decided I wanted to see a little bit of Ecuador.
Fortunately I had a corresponding friend in Guayaquil, a well known local author and Physiologist and she offered to show me her home city. This is the first of a few posts about my observations in my short time here. Dra. Quila found me a nice inexpensive hotel about three miles and a $5 taxi ride from the airport. The Hotel Marcelius is neither the Raddison Decapolis nor the Hospedaje Casco Viejo but in a place square between the two with a cost of about $60 a day. Ecuador like Panama is a US dollar economy so currency conversion is not an issue here, no Bolivars or Pesos but lots of US Sacagawea dollar coins; I wondered where they all went.
I am writing this after scarcely 36 hours here so it is very much a first blush. I spent yesterday walking through downtown Guayaquil. The city is large and coastal with wide streets in the downtown and a beautiful river park. The Police and military are visible everyplace.
The feel of the city is cosmopolitan more like Buenos Aires Argentina than Panama City. We visited two museums
Mueso Presley Norton is laden with archeological treasures and Mueso Nahim Isaias, art, in particular a collection of religious art.
The food in Guayaquil is exactly what you would expect if you did not keep hearing stories about Ecuadorians eating Guinea pigs. The city is on the coast and the primary foods are from the sea. We joined Dra. Quila's daughter and her boy friend for lunch. A simple local fonda.
The food was unexceptional but different. The Seafood plate was fresh boiled seafood served over a gruel of green plalntain.
The shrimp Ceviche looked enticing also.
Today is independence day in Ecuador and I hope to observe some more of the local public life.

The workshop is part of a statewide series designed to address the growing problem of Texas rural land being fragmented into smaller tracts, often involving urban-based owners who are interested in wildlife conservation but may lack experience in wildlife or land management. For more than a century, rural Texas land has been owned mainly by farm and ranch families who lived on it. In recent decades, the countryside has been fragmented into smaller tracts owned increasingly by urban, absentee owners looking for a weekend retreat or retirement home. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report showing that Texas led the nation in the loss of undeveloped land from 1992-97. Land fragmentation is one of the main threats to wildlife in Texas. It crowds wildlife into smaller spaces, blocks travel corridors and disrupts access to feeding areas. The Mesquite workshop will discuss tools, expert advisors and funding programs available to help landowners achieve conservation and financial goals when managing property for wildlife. Morning and early afternoon workshop sessions will include Wildlife Tax Valuation, presented by Dallas Central Appraisal District; Setting Realistic Management Goals by Texas Cooperative Extension; Urban Wildland Interface: Management of Invasive Species by the Texas Forest Service; and Ponds 101: Plant, Soil, & Water Relationships by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. From 2-4 p.m., two separate workshop tracks will run concurrently. Track I will cover Pasture/Range Management for Production Purposes, including grazing management, soil fertility, and pond/water management. Track II will cover Pasture/Prairie Restoration Management for Wildlife Purposes, including using native plants, wild life habitat, and riparian (river and creek corridor) restoration. Other workshop partners include Texas Forest Service, Bluebonnet Resource Conservation & Development, Incl, Dalworth Soil and Water Conservation District, North Texas Master Naturalists, Dallas County Farm Bureau, the Noble Foundation and Samuell Farm. The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Samuell Farm at 100 East Highway 80 in Dallas. Originally owned by W.W. Samuell, a prominent Dallas physician, the 340-acre farm was willed by Dr. Samuell to the City of Dallas in 1937 as an educational resource for young people. For two decades, Samuell Farm served hundreds of thousands of children and adults, until budget cuts recently compelled the City of Dallas to close the farm. The non-profit group Friends of the Farm was formed in 2001 to reopen and manage the farm. The property includes meadows, wooded areas, ponds, and creeks. Many varieties of native plants and non-native grasses are found on this remnant of disappearing Blackland Prairie. The cost for the workshop is $40 per person, which covers lunch, refreshments and materials.

Trailer debut for the Liam Neeson thriller "Unknown", formerly "Unknown White Male" from director Jaume Collet-Serra ("Orphan"). The trailer makes it look like a pretty standard mystery thriller with shady strangers, a hero who may or may not be who he claims to be, and then all of a sudden it busts out with a major surprise. Of course, the trailer has now ruined that surprise, but hey, maybe there's more to the movie. Hopefully. The film co-stars the gorgeous January Jones and the equally fetching Diane Kruger. Frank Langella adds the old guy quotient.
Dr. Martin Harris awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally, Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
Starring Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger, Frank Langella, Aidan Quinn and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
Discovering the truth February 18, 2011.

Another pressing issue was the willful serving of booze to the underaged, which the boys in blue have been rightly cracking down upon.
Some years ago, I was amused by a ChCh Libertarianz member, writing a letter to the Press, blaming 6pm bar closings for NZ's binge drinking culture. Obviously he'd never heard of Gin Lane.
Binge drinking is far more complex than just availability of liquor – it's most likely a symptom of some wider malaise - and attacking the symptom is an exercise in futility. Still, studies have established a proportional relationship between a locality's crime rates and the concentration of liquor stores in the same area.
Russell Brown, in reply to
Binge drinking is far more complex than just availability of liquor – it's most likely a symptom of some wider malaise – and attacking the symptom is an exercise in futility.
Our national tendency to binge was what wrecked the experiment with party pills – particularly when people used BZP as a means to help them drink even more. That was a shame – although I didn't think BZP was actually the one you'd want to legalise and regulate anyway. It just happened to be the one that wasn't presumptively banned under the analogue provisions of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
I think worrying about this (like the prominence that's given to road accidents and petty vandalism) is a bit of a "comfortable world problem".
Like some cop saying of Ireland: 'if [getting shitfaced is] a representation of what they do in their own country they've got big problems over there'
Well, they do have a few problems and maybe getting a bit pissed is a welcome relief.
Most countries have similar laws to us about not serving drunks and so on, but NZ is one of the few that actually takes them at all seriously. I was in a pub in Derry a while ago, and the bar staff were probably more pissed than the punters. But happily drunk - after tipping red wine over us, the bartender bought us a round.
If anything I think NZ doesn't have a drinking problem, it's got a violence problem, and the booze just brings it out.
Russell Brown, in reply to

We're mid-table for alcohol consumption in the OECD. It's not the drinking, it's how we're drinking, etc.
Just realised I left out the link to the Herald story I quoted.
It's here.
Email Web
surely the issue around bar staff serving the intoxicated could be well served by "I'd like a rum and coke" "certainly sir, blow here please" .... a little feedback on how drunk we are as the night progresses even if we're not totally shitfaced would be a great learning tool.
One of the things I've tried to get over to my kids is "look that guy is having no fun" - especially as a beginner you don't really understand that alcohol takes a while to kick in - and you can easily go from having a happy time to being that guy without realising it - and then forget why - I think it's hard to learn how to reliably have fun with alcohol - so a little feedback during the process might not go amiss
Graeme Edgeler, in reply to
I was out one time with a group that included one guy who ended up getting himself arrested by being a total dick about pouring out his beer.
Emptying a beer into the street is littering :-)
And pouring a poison into a storm drain, rather than the sewerage system is similarly verboten ...
Jackie Clark, in reply to
Now you just sound like Sean Connery.
The mayor has formed a taskforce to deal with it and, creditably, headed out with several members of the force to confront the task.
Whilst Mayor Len Brown takes a high profile stance to micro-manage a non-problem with youths in the central city.
Are increased rates bills arriving in letterboxes in the suburbs?
Matthew Poole, in reply to

Possibly at the blue-shirted coal-face, but very much less so further up the chain. There was an article in Granny two weeks ago about an Auckland karaoke bar that got snapped by the cops, hiding intoxicated-to-the-point-of-insensibility patrons in a back room. Third offence. Did they lose their licence? Nope. There were "mitigating factors", it seems. What was worse is that they're apparently one of the better-behaved of that type of establishment.
Fuck the mitigating factors. There is a clear presumption of a right to sell alcohol as a way of making a living, as demonstrated by how incredibly hard licensees have to work in order to have their licences cancelled; or even suspended for any meaningful period of time. Last year saw the first-ever licence cancellation for sale to minors, of a liquor store in Te Awamutu. After a fourth offence!
There was an article in Granny
I saw that article, and thought it was one of the more egregious thousand words of casual racism I'd seen, even in a media that prides itself on that sort of thing. Evil foreign swine getting drunk in darkened rooms! With hookers and blow and knives and guns! They even tripped out the old opium den cliche - it could be 1881 all over again.
Matthew Poole, in reply to
umm, I'm not entirely sure which article you read, but there's no "opium den cliche" in the one I linked and only a single reference to ethnicity.
Maybe your outrage at journalists daring to report on something that appears to be a real problem caused you to be blinded to the bigger issues highlighted?
Two questions (so Niki Kaye - yikes)
Given everyone throws up in the Queen St hood -
did RB throw up on LB first, or was it the other way around ?
How were Disaster Radio ?
Russell Brown, in reply to

Really? His comments are hardly incendiary -- remember when John Banks was declaring to all and sundry that he was going to close off Queen Street to traffic at nights? I think it's reasonable that he took a reporter from the Herald -- which has been making most of the noise -- and some of the people he wants to help and actually had a look. He now says he'll go back and have a look without the media entourage.
The Herald's stance has a whiff of moral panic, but it's also true that Herald staff come and go from work in the deep of the night and are exposed to what goes on. I hope that they don't try and get too clever with mandating door policies -- they'll get the power to enforce a local liquor ban when the Alcohol Reform bill passes later in the year.
Forcing clubs to close earlier or mandating one-way doors won't stop people binge drinking and it won't do much to stop them coming into the CBD late at night.
I was talking to a couple of 22 year old backpacker girls from the UK (yes, they WERE that fabled beast – Essex girls) in a Queenstown bar the other week and they reckon New Zealand is a bit of a promised land as far as being a young backpacker looking for fun. Safe, relaxed dress standards (important when eveything you posess has to fit in a pack), liberal drinking hours, cheap alcohol and lots of healthy young men who are *ahem* willing to to do their bit for international relations meant they were loving N.Z. That is a pretty enlightening perspective on our liquor laws, which seem to make having a good time almost to easy for young and inexperienced drinkers.
To Len Brown's credit, he clearly wasn't prepared to get railroaded by the media into a kneejerk moral panic response. The idea that you punish bars with early closing because people pre-load in the car and (as one bar owner pointed out in K road) we have 24x7 off licenses right next to bars is a bit stupid.
If we want to curb liquor consumption, get the stuff out of supermarkets, stop all off-licence sales after 9pm on Friday to midday on Monday and set a minimum price for alcohol. Then see where we go from there.

I thought you meant this longer article. Opium den reference at para 4.
And I don't really see the difference between getting drunk in someone's garage (legal), getting drunk in a hotel room (legal I think) and getting drunk in a private room in a karaoke club (illegal).
Russell Brown, in reply to

I nearly threw up in that public toilet, I tell you.
How were Disaster Radio ?
The whole thing was a bit of a shambles, but I quite enjoyed that aspect of it. Andy and I might have been the only people in the room not tripping balls.
Luke got on and played it loud and messy, which was just the ticket. I'd never realised that 'Gravy Rainbow' has such a hard-ass house bassline.
If the youth had more optimism in their lives (refer to lack of jobs) I doubt there would be such a violent attitude displayed by some on the streets (good gear would help too) - with that in mind there does seem to be more groups of youths looking for fights than even 18 months ago... and I put that down to anger at their lot in life (refer jobs et al), not drinking in itself - and it seems to be very locale driven, I rarely feel threatened on K Rd, Queen st however...
from my experiences its those of my generation and a little younger (40ish) that are really scary out on the streets - violence seems to be a common reaction for (some of) them out on the piss, a almost default setting - and a male thing at that

The law does, though. They're licensed premises, and subject to the same rules around responsibility as other licensed premises. Racist? I could have done without the opium den comparison, but Hilary Chung and Raymond Huo are quoted saying it's a problem.
I wouldn't know, being allergic to karaoke.

Yeah, that's my impression: there's just a slightly nastier vibe at the moment.
and I put that down to anger at their lot in life (refer jobs et al), not drinking in itself – and it seems to be very locale driven, I rarely feel threatened on K Rd, Queen st however…
Totes. You know what you're dealing with on K Road. Some of the darker lanes off Queen Street are a bit iffier.
There is no silver bullet to the problem that has been created across several generations. The six o'clock closing, through to the lowering of the drinking age have contributed to the problem. Add to this ability to create booze out of the biproduct of our primary industry there is going to be an over supply of cheap booze and bad attitudes in dealing with it.
I disagree with Russell that being drunk in public should not be an offense; however I think that there should be some very clear guidelines, and the resulting penalty for offending should be something that benefits those who are caught. i.e. if you can't get yourself home because you are too drunk it would mean that you would be detained and if you found yourself there too many times then some sort of mandatory counselling could be prescribed.
There needs to be social responsibility balanced with personal accountability in terms handling this problem.
Some other easy wins would be
Minimum standard drink pricing (part of this would be a levy that goes towards alcohol counselling)
Split age for the sale
Closing time for off licenses of a reasonable time
Mandatory recycling of glass and cans used for containerising alcohol. (thie would potentially reduced the number of broken bottles in the street)
Advertising standards for Alcohol.
There is essentially no band aid solution for this and we need a solution that is fair to the smaller operators and see those who take large profits from the sale of alcohol contributing to fixing some of the problems that they have created.
we only need a solution if the problem is attitudes to drinking and not a byproduct of other social problems
generally I have been amazed at how mature most young I come across are with regards to alcohol - these kids are not out of control (yes some are and some always will be)
this seems to be yet another 'pick on the young' issue of which we've seen all too many of these past 4 years - stop picking on them and pick them up, give them jobs, a sense of optimism and be sobered at how stunning so many of them are as people
Craig Ranapia, in reply to
Really? His comments are hardly incendiary
I'm not Brown's biggest fan – and honestly not sure what the photo op walkabout in today's Herald was supposed to achieve – but yeah… I'm not sure he's guilty of vote-grabbing dick-waving here.
That said I'm also not sure The Herald isn't living proof of Bernard Shaw's snerk that your average newspaper can't distinguish between an old lady falling off a bicycle and the end of the world. There is a legitimate and real issue here, but I fail to see how you make sensible decisions when the only newspaper in town keeps screeching "marauding drunken wolf cub!"
Matthew Poole, in reply to

The third is subject to conditions of liquor licensing law. The first isn't. The second isn't as long as the alcohol is self-provided or out of the mini bar, but the hotel could get in a lot of trouble if room service restocked your mini bar while you were present and clearly intoxicated.
If you want to sell alcohol, society lays down conditions on your doing so. If you don't like it, you don't have to sell alcohol.
As for the long article, the opium den comparison aside it's pretty hard to report on something that's largely confined to karaoke bars without having to discuss the cultural associations that they bring from their originating societies. Ordinary bars and restaurants tend not to have multiple private rooms where patrons get left alone for periods of time with large quantities of booze, for example; that's something that appears to be much more common in karaoke bars. Even without the discussions of outright criminal activity - which, as Russell says, is a concern to MPs of Asian descent - there's still the flouting of liquor licensing rules in a number of ways, including hiding patrons and thus keeping them in a dangerous situation where they are beyond being capable of taking care of themselves.
Do you get outraged by reports that Sky City is used by Asian gangsters for running their criminal enterprises?

Phoenix Matsuri!
Every year they have a Japanese festival in Downtown Phoenix to celebrate our sister city in Japan! This year, my penpal from Japan came to visit so we went to the festival together. It was good fun!
This girl could play this flute very well!! ^_^
My penpal's university is in Hiroshima so she really wanted me to get a picture of this guy's Hapii coat!
My penpal enjoyed seeing all the cosplayers. ^_^ It made me happy that even a Japanese person could enjoy our cosplay too!!
The three of us!! ^_^
After the festival we went to the tea house again. ^_^ ~~
That's all for now. ^_^ Thanks for looking!!

Boy. It sure seems like a lot of time has passed since the news broke last fall about the bagged spinach products that were contaminated with E. coli. In February, I attended the Mid-Atlantic Fruit & Vegetable Convention in Hershey, PA, and during a session on food safety, one speaker said that it takes about six months to a year for a commodity to rebound after a foodborne illness. I almost hate to think about the losses spinach growers incurred as a result of what happened in one California county.
Now the investigation on the E. coli outbreak has drawn to a close. During a teleconference about a month ago, the findings basically confirmed information we had already received: The E. coli was traced to a 50-acre plot in San Benito County. According to those in the California Department of Health Services, the problem is multifaceted and a number of areas could have contributed to the foodborne illness outbreak. What the investigators are positive about, though, is a need for more research on the E. coli pathogen.
Learn About The Enemy
In order to "fight" E. coli, growers need to know what they are up against. They need to know what helps E. coli grow, what vectors allow it to move to other areas, and the likely modes of it spreading. Having answers to those questions just may help them stop the pathogen in its tracks.
During the teleconference, it was also mentioned that anytime there are animals and livestock near fields, there is a potential for contamination. Well, think about how many farms grow crops and raise some livestock and haven't had any problems. What are these growers supposed to do? Get rid of their livestock? This month's cover story subject, West Coast Tomato/McClure Farm, did just that. According to D.C. McClure, one of the owners, removing the livestock was in the best interest of the farm.
Something else that is in the best interest of the farm is to follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) to the best of your ability. I have a feeling, though, that most growers who have been successful over the years are conscientious about making sure the fresh vegetables they produce are as safe as they can be.
It is the gray area of not knowing the workings of the E. coli pathogen, however, that is a big stumbling block. Maybe it is time to rattle some cages and see about getting funding for an E. coli research program. Start at the grassroots. Talk to fellow growers in your state association. Get a low rumble started. Eventually it will lead to a loud roar and those in charge of the purse strings will have to listen.
To keep the vegetable growing industry healthy, the consuming public must stay healthy as well. One case of a foodborne illness is one case too many. Following GAPs and understanding E. coli will put growers on the right track to significantly reduce their food safety risks.
It may seem like the spinach issue happened a long time ago, but if another problem arises, it will seem like it was just yesterday.

If you are not a seriously hardcore, professional editor then I doubt you will give the Eizo FDH3601 a second glance. With it's 4k display that supports a resolution of 4,096 x 2,160 pixels or the equivalent of four 1080p displays in a 36.4 inch frame, this monitor would be the perfect companion for Canon's 1D C, C500 or any high res shooter. The display delivers 100% sRGB coverage color gamut as well as perfect tone reproduction across the screen. There is a 16-bit lookup table supporting up to 278 trillion colors. The maximum brightness is 700 cd/m2, the contrast ratio is 1,000:1 with a response time of 8ms. That all sounds great so why would only the seriously hardcore professional editor be the only ones looking at this marvelous display? I can give you 35,700 reasons. pssst... that's the price for our slower readers.

Do want.
I'll have to wait for the $999. 99 Apple 4K Cinema display. Too much $$ for me.
When will that ship ?
Seriously, who in their right mind?
That's one bad ass display, but a 1,000:1 contrast ratio?
Contrast ratio = from the blackest black to the whitest white how many tones are recorded in-between it is a common misconception that we need to look for the highest contrast ratio. 1000:1 is actually more than we need as humans.
Scenario: You can have a £500 40" TV with a 1000000:1 Contrast ratio and a 24" Monitor with a Contrast ratio of 1000:1 cost you twice as much. Why? Because I guarantee that TV will have a very dark grey when you expect a grey and I bet if you put a piece of white paper against the whites you will be disappointed!
I used to work in an Electrical retail store, I got trained on this "jargon"
It is a common joke that a TV with a ratio above 1000:1 will only impress your dog!
To be fair only my dog can watch the bullshit on TV nowadays.
i'll take two to go thanks... :)
I worked as a video editor for quite a few years. Very high resolution monitors, not as hi-res as this one obviously, weren't the end-all, be-all. After all, the end viewers weren't going to see the program in such a hi-res way as the editor might be seeing it while cutting the show. Many editing facilities used, beyond the hi-res monitors there were using in their systems, a standard TV so they could also see the show the way the viewers would see it. Sometimes, extremely hi-res is over-rated.
I'm guessing he means photo editor, not video. I'm a video editor myself and you're right, when simply cutting content there's not a lot of need for hyperpixels. That doesn't stop me drooling over this though...
I would gladly trade three 30" Apple Cinema displays for one of those... unfortunately that would only cover a fraction of the cost :(
I just want to check, is this not a 2K display? i'm just asking because 480p, 720p and 1080 are vertical resolution and not horizontal (so that quality isn't effected by different frames ie. 3:2 4:3 16:9 etc wide screen doesn't have more up and down but a wider field of view). So a 4,096 x 2,160 is 2k? or have they changed it.
Nope, it's 4k. 2k is only slightly larger than 1080HD, which has a horizontal resolution of 1920. 2k has a horizontal resolution of 2048. Its popular to refer to horizontal resolution these days
am I reading this right? 35,000 dollars? this is insane.
Yes but it's in Zimbabwe Dollarshttp://www.fleur-de-coin.com/images/articles/zim-currency.jpg
35,000 dollar if its in zimbabwe currency then i take 10, but if its in american dolar...goddamn thats expensive, who would buy it? i dunno maybe james cameron or jj abrams for their future movie..haha
The new MBP's and iMac's are coming out shortly, the talk is retina displays in everything....sharp has even come out with a 32" super high res Retina S display, which could be like 3840x2160 or something like that.....possibly in an iMac or a Cinema Display....
I wounder what the MS is on the display though, also color will look different when you show your work on a non 4K monitor, ports? how many new old? Its all hype, just another new over priced product!
35k is not a bad price considering that the last monitor to come out with 4k was near the 100k mark. I don't see many people using it but if I start getting into more 4k video work 35k is nothing in terms to the amount I will be getting on return.

On the road again?
If you're traveling by car this spring or summer, these 10 new models may add some excitement to your journey, offer the fuel efficiency for the budget- and environment-minded, and boast features that enhance comfort as the hours go on.
"I love road trips," says Mike Quincy, auto content specialist for Consumer Reports. "For me, one of the most important aspects of finding a good road trip car is a tremendous driving range. You fill up the car and you hit the highways and you look at the trip computer and you can't believe the huge numbers you're getting."
Our list of 10 best cars for road trips was compiled after interviews with experts from Consumer Reports, Edmunds.com, and Kelley Blue Book and kbb.com. Factors included safety; comfort; fuel economy; storage for luggage, recreational equipment, strollers and more; and enjoyment driving or riding in the vehicle.
"You want to be comfortable," says Brian Moody, senior road test editor for Edmunds.com. "Seating is certainly the biggest thing. If you have kids or adults in the back that aren't comfortable, then you as the driver are going to be subjected to their complaints."

LIVESTRONG Sporting Park left such an impression on the US national team on Tuesday that there is now a movement to make it the official national stadium of the USMNT.
And USA midfielder Sacha Kljestan is leading the charge.
"I was saying in the locker room that tonight you saw a really pro-American crowd," midfielder Sacha Kljestan told the Kansas City Star. "That's the most American flags I've seen in a stadium, so I hope we'll have more games here. Maybe it will become the new national stadium."
Several national teams around the world have adopted a national stadium as their home field for most every official match. England have Wembley Stadium, Mexico have Azteca Stadium, Scotland have Hampden Park, Jamaica have "The Office" and Costa Rica had the Ricardo Saprissa Stadium until the recent opening of their new stadium.
But don't expect the US to have a national stadium any time soon. According to the US Soccer Federation, that set-up doesn't work in this country.
"As the national team, we believe it's important to play matches across the United States," a US Soccer Federation spokesman told MLSsoccer.com on Wednesday. "By playing in various locations, we feel we're able give more people the opportunity to attend a game."
Do you believe the US should have a national stadium? If so, which stadium should it be? Vote now.

I was just trying (unsuccessfully so far) to replicate Csaba Nagy's report of a strange failure with temp table creation. I made use of pgbench's recent improvements to be able to push random scripts at a collection of backends: $ cat ttscript.sql create temp table foo (f1 int); drop table foo; $ pgbench -n -c 98 -t 1000 -f ttscript.sql bench This is just pushing a long string of create temp table/drop table commands at a whole lot of backends concurrently. What I found surprising is that I get numbers like 430 tps from HEAD and 220 tps from REL8_1_STABLE. This test case is of course not about performance, but I'm not quite sure what we changed that would produce a 2X speedup from 8.1. Can anyone else replicate this? regards, tom lane

Photo Flash: MTC Presents EQUIVOCATION by Bill Cain
Previews are underway for the New York premiere of EQUIVOCATION by Bill Cain (former artistic director of Boston Shakespeare Company), and directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes (Translations, Beauty Queen of Leenane).

Why Choose GJEL Accident Attorneys? Get Your Free Case Review Today The period following an auto accident can be extremely stressful. Between injuries, medical bills & expenses, lost wages, physical & emotional pain and suffering, and damage to your vehicle,…
Our Expertise in Accident Reconstruction and Investigation
Investigation and Accident Reconstruction
When we handle a case, the police report is only the starting point. With budget cuts affecting every police agency in California, police reports are often written quickly and without a full investigation. We have a team of sophisticated investigators, including retired city police offers and California Highway Patrolmen, who dig much deeper into the facts than the average police report does.
With over 25 years' experience in catastrophic injury and serious car accident cases, we also routinely work alongside California's foremost accident reconstruction experts.
Our use of expert testimony and analysis in depositions and in the courtroom, including this $10.65 million recovery for the family of a man killed in a pipeline explosion and this case in which we recovered $1.75 million for the family of a woman killed on Interstate 80 often lead to larger verdicts or settlements that firms without our experience and expertise are unable to obtain.
We bring all of these resources to bear on each client's case in order to see to it that our client is fully compensated for their injuries.
Staff Size and Organizational Strength
Our staff-to-attorney ratio is double that of the average personal injury firm. All of these resources are poured into each of our client's cases. Because we are far more selective than the average personal injury firm and have a much larger staff than the average personal injury firm, our clients' cases get enormous and immediate personal attention from the full force and effect of our office.
We believe this is the right way and the professional way to run a law firm.

Heffa, nice job on the "solo" HM--that's not easy getting a fast time like that.
It is definitely a different kind of challenge to run race pace all by yourself. Let alone the lack of aid stations. I like that kind of challenge, it really makes me feel good about myself to push the pace even when "it doesn't matter".
Talk about pushing the pace though. What a great PR on that 50K Russ! Hope the calf is feeling better soon.
Happy - Way to go on the 35 mile week. Your having a great year!
A - Keep warm up there. I have at least another month before I have to worry about snow here.
Just got my huge shipment of Hammer products today. I had switched to using Hammer gel as my main supplement about a year ago and I finally decided to give their other products a try. My goal is to switch over to all powder/tablet supplements for marathon running. All of my previous marathons I would carry a 20 oz water bottle and 5-6 gels with me. I'm trying to lighten my belt by switching to Perpetuem solids for fuel and Endurolytes for electrolytes. Then I just have to get better at drinking the water on the course. I figure between lightening my belt and a little dieting I can reduce my payload by a little over 10 lbs, maybe 15 - 20 lbs if I can somehow manage to lose a little more weight without DW noticing .
Hi everyone,
Was out of town for business and got back Thursday evening. Was totally exhausted. Going away on business always means late dinners and late nights! Unfortunately, also no workouts. We were staying on an old cruise ship that's been converted into a hotel that's moored permanently. There are no engines anymore. We got a tour of the ship and I can just imagine what it used to be like back in the old days when 1st class and 2nd class passengers were separated. Oh yes, they even had separate staircases so they would never meet. Loved how they had restored all the old furniture, stained glass and floors. Anyways, it only opened 6 months ago and there was no fitness room on the ship. And the late nights meant that I wasn't awake early enough to go for a run.
Friday morning I needed to sleep in. I was soooo tired. Another day without a run.
Bought a new laptop for the family and have been installing all kinds of software all day yesterday. Now before anyone is using it making documents and down loading all kinds of stuff, I still have to make a recovery disk and back up image. Then I wanna copy some of my files on to this laptop. It's a lot of work when you get a new laptop
Anyways, not a lot of running going on this week. The rest will do my hip some good, I hope. I'll go out for a run with Spooky soon. Winter suddenly dropped in yesterday. It's -5C. Have to figure out what to wear, it's been a while since it's been this cold
Dutchie I go running in the early morning, before my brain figures out what I'm up to.
Run the day, or the day runs you.

Chugging along to the holidays! I posted this bit on another thread...
Last week I made it through Friday's workouts. I had a really hard session with a substitute trainer on Friday and was a bit sore on Saturday. Legs weren't going for the long run so I just did my regular 3 mile loop around the park. Last night we were out late a birthday party - sometimes I think I'm going to start fitting in here. I have a work deadline so I'm off to the office now (sunday) and getting two rest days in a row. Maybe that will give my body a chance to reset...
Winter is settling in (for some more than others!), dig out the gear and take care! A
A BIG Congratulations to our two recent graduates Hoppity and Rururunner! Hurray!! Three Cheers!!! Great job!
Go as long as you can, and then take another step.
6 easy treadmill miles yesterday after work. It looks like we are almost done with the OT at work. I think by the end of this week my stint of 12 hour days will be over. I can't wait to get back to a normal life.
Imminent Catastrophe
7.2 tempo today with Daisy. I'm being careful with my left calf which was swollen and bruised after last week's race, and it's feeling good now. Daisy was a pain as usual, wanting to be the sled-dog and trying to drag me the whole way, then when I let her off leash she was eating grass. She got to splash in the creek, which she loves.
Happy, we're neck and neck now, but just try to catch me after Sunday!
MTA: Dutchie, I just got a new laptop too and you're right, it's a lot of work. I could just use Apple's Migration Assistant which automatically transfers everything over from the old laptop to the new (quick and easy), but I did that last time I upgraded and now I have so much old, obsolete crap that would be transferred to my new laptop that I decided to do it manually. So now, after many hours of work, I have a lean machine without a lot of old stuff I don't need any more.
I love your comments about the converted ship. I actually sailed on the Queen Mary in 1968 (yes, the one that's now in Long Beach).That was one of her last voyages, and I was 9 years old but it was like you said, all the classes were segregated. We were tourist class, the dregs (like the ones who were locked into the lower decks on the Titanic). Our "stateroom" was a closet with no window down in the bowels of the ship. Fortunately I befriended another boy who was in upper class, so I got to see how "the other half lives"--the pool, library and all that. It was really memorable.

Don't worry PerfesserR - your position ahead of me is in no doubt! You're running FORTY MILES on Sunday???! Good Grief! I just wanna know HOW?
Currently I can barely get out to my run tonight...just got a fire going...house is freezing...just wanna get warm, not go back out into the cold! Plus I was having some outa-the-blue muscle spasms in my right quad tendon area this afternoon, along with some other transient twinges in my legs and hips. My right knee felt a little funny last night while running which certainly is the precursor to the spasms. Also, I've been surviving an energy-sapping bad cold/sinus thing this past week. I feel like I want to trade in this body for a new one today! My planned run is for 6 to 8 miles tonight. I better quit talking to you and get going!
Don't worry PerfesserR - your position ahead of me is in no doubt! You're running FORTY MILES on Sunday???! Good Grief! I just wanna know HOW?
Well, I'm gonna try.
I know, I know, Yoda said "Do, or do not, There is no try".
Well, Yoda never ran a 40 mile trail run. So there.
You folks in the Pacific Northwest have had some brutal weather lately. Good luck!
It's finally over! I have a three day weekend then back to normal working hours next week. Planning a celebratory 14 miler tomorrow.
It's finally over! I have a three day weekend then back to normal working hours next week. Planning a celebratory 14 miler tomorrow.
You made it through - in one piece! Nice to have a 3-day weekend to transition back to normalcy. Enjoy your run tomorrow.
Well, I'm gonna try....a 40 mile trail run.
Well, I'm gonna try....a 40 mile trail run.
Is this the longest Ultra you will have done? What was the longest before this? official event, that is. How about the longest run for pleasure? Inquiring Minds wanna know! I read the course description - yee gawds! I sure hope your calf has fully recovered before you test it on this! I haven't figured out how you could bruise your calf running yet. How did that happen?
timer's going off, gotta go!
Good luck Perfesser on the FORTY MILES I can't help but make that in caps...
I took it easy this week - work/ life/ sleep took precedence - how does Jeff do it? - back on track tomorrow with an easy 8 miler. I got a great e-mail today from Labrador so now I'm looking forward to getting some cross country ski lessons from SIL over holiday vacation up north.
Roasting a chicken and relaxing, happy Friday, A
PS Feel better Happy...
A BIG Congratulations to our two recent graduates Hoppity and Rururunner! Hurray!! Three Cheers!!! Great job!
Thanks! I lurk here rather than post, but am very grateful for how active and cool this group are. Pleased to hit the 2000km, my initial goal for this year was 1000km as I was coming back from injury and wasn't sure if I'd be able to run much or keep running.
Good luck on the 40-miler Perfesser, glad the horrendous work schedule is over heffa47 and feel better soon HappyFeat.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Thanks for the good karma everyone.
Happy-yes, this is my longest run ever, I've done a few 50k's. The one I did two weeks ago gave me some confidence, since I felt I had something left at the end. This is a tougher trail, though. I don't know what happened to the calf, I had a little nag before the 50k, then during the race a few times I got a painful twang but it was never too bad, then the next day I was surprised to see a big bruise and inflammation. I think it was strained, anyway after babying it for the last two weeks it's pain-free and I think it's OK.
Just between you and me, I'm nervous. When I first moved to Georgia 8 years ago I read about this race and thought, 40 miles on trails, on fallen leaves concealing rocks and roots? I could never do that. We'll see.

Quick Take
- Limited Brands reports steady Q4 results with 5% comparable sales growth
- New product launches and strong brand helped Q4 results, offsetting the impact of a weak holiday season
- Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works registered comparable sales growth of 3% and 7% respectively
- New product launches are likely to help the retailer in the on-going quarter
Limited Brands (NYSE:LTD) reported steady Q4 fiscal 2012 results driven by good brand performance, partially offset by a weak holiday season. The retailer performed well during November and January, but fiscal cliff concerns and Hurricane Sandy weighed on its December results. Nevertheless, the company's long-term growth fundamentals remain strong and are likely to outweigh this temporary weakness. Limited dominates the personal care and intimate-apparel market with its Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret brands. Both of these brands have performed well in their respective segments driven by strong brand recognition and new product launches.
- Limited Brands Reports Steady Growth In Q3; Outlook Looks Good
- Limited Brands Earnings Preview: Intimates Will Drive The Company Through The Industry Slump
- Good Inventory Planning And Global Expansion Will Drive Limited Brands' Growth
- Intimates Are Driving Victoria's Secret Growth Despite A Lull In Apparel Sales
- Limited Brands Posts Steady Growth And Raises Its Outlook
- Limited Brands: Strong Product Offerings Can Help Beat Weak Industry Trends
See our complete analysis for Limited Brands
Victoria's Secret's Performance And The Outlook For The Next Quarter
For the holiday season, Victoria's Secret launched new products such as angles fantasies bras, angel gold fragrance, the flirt bra and vintage fleece. These products received good customer response, resulting in 4% comparable store sales growth in November. However, comparable store sales growth was flat in December due to the weak holiday season. Nevertheless, Victoria's Secret saw a turnaround in January with its clearance and full priced product sales during the semi-annual sale period. The brand's comparable store sales improved by 8% during the month. [1] This success was further complemented by the strength in Body by Victoria collection, PINK bralettes, and heartbreaker fragrance.
Although Victoria's Secret's same store sales growth stood just at 3% in Q4, the figure was higher at 7% for fiscal 2012. The temporary weakness could not offset an otherwise good year for Victoria's Secret. [1] We expect its good performance to continue in the current quarter with increased focus on seasonal products such as dream angles collection and spring break essentials in PINK. [2]
Victoria's Secret U.S. stores constitute about 50% of Limited Brands' value according to our estimates.
Bath & Body Works' Performance And The Outlook For The Next Quarter
Bath & Body Works' signature collection, soap & sanitizer and home product assortments helped the brand in posting strong comparable sales growth of 7% in Q4 fiscal 2012. [3] Additionally, its launch of new fragrance and an exclusive range of holiday collection and gifts also helped it perform well during December despite the holiday season's weakness. The brand reported 7% comparable store sales growth in December. ((Limited Brands Comparable Store Sales))
Going Forward, Bath & Body Works will relaunch its luxurious signature collection fragrance, Forever Red. It will also add a new fragrance to its collection, America's sweetheart. [2] We believe that as the impact of the weak holiday season wears off, the brand's growth would accelerate.
Bath & Body Works U.S. stores constitute about 30% of Limited Brands' value according to our estimates.
Our price estimate for Limited Brands Stands at $50, implying a premium of about 15% to the market price.

Sam Faiers: I can see Mark Wright and I getting back together
The Only Way Is Essex's Sam Faiers has once again declared her love for former flame Mark Wright.
Newly single Sam admitted to Reveal magazine: 'I still fancy Mark. He's quite sexy – there's no denying it! And he's lovely and a really nice guy. For some reason, people keep saying that me and Mark will get back together but I don't know.
And as Mark's TV career goes from strength to strength following his dramatic TOWIE exit, Sam has decided she is prepared to ditch the single life for romantic nights in with the Take Me Out: The Gossip host.
'I've just come out of a relationship and want to be single – but maybe I'd make an exception for him,' she explained.
The blonde boutique owner has also been dithering over her ex Joey Essex, who has invited her out for a date.
She added: 'Bless him. I bumped into him at an event last week and we had a little laugh at the table. He's moved into his new place so he was asking me for advice.
'Joey's so lovely, he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He kept asking if I'd go out to dinner with him. I haven't said yes or no – I haven't decided yet.'
And following in the footsteps of her TV rival Lauren Goodger, Sam has also vowed to shed the pounds in time for summer.
VIDEO: Sam declares her love to Mark in cringe-worthy TOWIE moment
'I'm proud of my curves. But to be honest, recently I've put on a bit more weight than I'm happy with.
'Last year I was a small size eight and I'm now a 10. I think I just got comfortable because I had a boyfriend. I do want to get more into shape. I'm slim, but I want to get back to what I was.'
Sam also took a swipe at the likes of Georgina Dorsett and Ricky Rayment who have 'taken over' TOWIE air time.
'I think the new series is going to be a big one for all the original cast – they are the ones everyone wants to see,' she jibed.

The Record
SCHENECTADY -- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute went down fighting Saturday night.
The Engineers fell behind by two goals in the first period, battled back to tie in the second, outplayed heavily-favored Union in the second period but fell to the nation's 8th-ranked team, 4-2, as Union wrapped up a trip to the ECAC Hockey playoffs semifinals.
They'll meet Quinnipiac, Harvard, Yale or Colgate at 4 p.m. Friday. Second-seeded Cornell also clinched a semifinal berth in Atlantic City on Saturday night.
Rensselaer, 3-15-0 after the first 10 weeks of the season, finished the campaign with a 12-24-3 mark and beat rival Clarkson in a preliminary-round series, advancing to the quarterfinals for just the second time in eight years.
"Very disappointing," Appert said. "You don't want to end your season; we didn't expect it to end this way. We have seven young men who won't wear that uniform again who did some good things for us as a program.
"(And) I'm disappointed because we put ourselves in position to be in a (seedings) 1-8 series by the way we played in the first half of the season."
One minute, one second after Matt Neal's goal earned the Engineers a 2-2 tie at 16:36 of the second period, Union's Kevin Sullivan scored his first of two goals to halt the Engineers' rally.
When asked if that goal changed the momentum of the game, Appert said, "no, I think it changed the outcome, I don't think it changed the momentum. Those are two different things. The momentum stayed on our side and I'm very pleased with the way we played tonight."
A few minutes later, though, Appert said, "it stunk, because I dominated them in the second period and most of the third.
Sophomore center Kyle Bodie scored Union's first goal, on a power play, putting a shot from off Merriam and into the net. He then assisted on both of Sullivan's goals.
Union goaltender Troy Grosenick made 28 saves, a number of which were from close-range, and Appert said, "I thought Grosenick was the difference."
