5 Holiday Movies to Watch This Winter
The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to bundle up with family and friends and watch some seasonal entertainment. While cheesy and overly-saturated with some greater lesson on the meaning of Christmas, everyone's got a bit of a soft spot f
or their favorite holiday films. Here is a brief over view of my five favorites for you to watch over this winter.
A Christmas Story
Despite being played constantly throughout the holiday season, "A Christmas Story" remains one of the funniest and most genuine Christmas movies out there. Even if you have not seen the film, you know about the Red Ryder BB gun, the mocking taunt of "you'll shoot your eye out, you'll shoot your eye out", and of course the "battle of the lamp". It has become as iconic as Christmas itself, telling the story of a nine year-old boy and his family making it through the holidays. I know I can't make it through the Christmas season without watching it at least once, so if you happen to be flipping through the channels and happen to see Ralphie fantasizing about his Red Ryder BB gun, it's worth your time.
Jingle All the Way
More than blood-crazed aliens, evil artificial intelligence, and Batman, I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger's biggest nemesis has been Turbo-Man. "Jingle All the Way" follows Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in his frantic attempt to find a Turbo-Man action figure for his son before Christmas. The acting is mediocre, but watching Schwarzenegger battle Sinbad while both are dressed as action figures in the middle of a Christmas parade is pretty spectacular.
I'll Be Home for Christmas
After being abandoned in the desert dressed as Santa, Jake Wilkinson (Jonathan Taylor Weiss of Home Improvement) makes a mad dash from California to New York to make it home in time for Christmas with his family. Jake's shenanigans along the way are so outrageous that I don't want to spoil them here. Jessica Biel plays the love interest who spends most of the movie mad at Jake because of his selfish approach to the holidays. Like most Christmas/ holiday movies, "I'll Be Home for Christmas" gets cheesy and unbelievable at points, but 'tis the season.
The Ref
The first time I watched this movie, I was immediately disappointed that I had not seen it earlier. Gus (Denis Leary) is a criminal who after a botched robbery takes Lloyd and Caroline Chasseur (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage on Christmas eve. The seriousness of the situation is diffused by the constant bickering of Lloyd and Caroline, both of whom take every opportunity to verbally jab at one another. Gus quickly becomes involved, and even more stress is added when Lloyd's aggressive family comes for dinner. The dialogue is sharp, the characters are delightfully awful, and it even has a corny Christmas ending.
The Christmas Invasion
While it's not a Christmas movie in the standard meaning, it does take place on Christmas and give the viewers something wonderful. "The Christmas Invasion" is an hour-long Doctor Who special debuting David Tennant as the Doctor. As hesitant as I was the first time around to embrace Tennant after such a brief time with Christopher Eccleston, "The Christmas Invasion" quickly became one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes. Rose and the Doctor must stop an invading alien race from taking half of humanity as slaves. All Doctor Who Christmas specials make me feel a little bad for the inhabitants of England who can't seem to get a holiday break from the mischief that follows the Doctor. Solid episode, and a great way to start the era of Tennant as the Doctor.
Enjoy your break and tell me about your favorite holiday movie in the comments below!

Make no mistake about it, football fans, this isn't going to be the 2007 Giants-Patriots game, not by a longshot.
What was a defensive struggle back then is looking more and more like it's going to be a high scoring affair this time around. With both the Patriots and the Giants sporting defenses that rank in the bottom third of the league and with both so offensively capable, both defenses are going to be hard pressed to stop anything this upcoming Sunday.
There is a silver lining for Giants fans and their defense, however, in that is doesn't look like Patriots phenom tight end Rob Gronkowski is going to be anywhere near 100% and without his ability to stretch the field and create mismatches, New England is going to be hard pressed to match the scoring output they have been doing all season. With Gronk limited, it's opens up the game plan a bit for the Giants defense, allowing them to try to put more pressure on Tom Brady which will hopefully lead to at the very least, stops.
On the New England side of the defensive ball, they may be fielding the worse defense ever to be seen in the big game. Considering some of the teams that have made it this far, that's not an accomplishment I'd want on my resume and it's not one that traditionally will lead to success. In fact, of the 45 SuperBowl winners 11 ranked first in yards allowed, five ranked second and six ranked third. Thirty-eight defenses, or 84 percent, ranked among the top 10.
Here's how a personnel man with more than 25 years of experience working for National Football League clubs sees this Patriots defense.
"New England has got to be the least talented team in the league on defense. They're horrible in the secondary. The Mark Andersons of the world, they're just kind of castoffs."
All in all, the Patriots are going to have to rely on their much maligned secondary to make a play or two if they want to stop this potent Giants offense and look at the facts, it may be a long day for that entire unit
The Breakdown
New York Giants: Finished the regular season ranked 26th in the league in total yardage allowed. Hasn't allowed a team to score more than 20 points since week 15.
New England Patriots: Finished the regular season ranked 31st in the league in total yards allowed, including an NFL record 4,727 passing yards. However, they did make up for the yardage a bit with 27 interceptions this season.
The Edge: New York Giants

With Designing Modernity, the Wolfsonian museum's much-anticipated inaugural exhibition, Mitchell (Micky) Wolfson, Jr., finally reveals his infamous private obsession to the public. Wolfson's massive assemblage of furniture, household appliances, books, architectural maquettes, prints, paintings, objets d'art, and ephemera tells the story of modernism through "The Arts of Reform and Persuasion" (the show's subtitle), illustrating how diplomacy is advanced through the genius of design.
Private collections bear the mark of their creators, and Wolfson has compiled his with an educated taste and a wily eye. Unapologetically idiosyncratic -- perhaps even fetishistic -- aesthetically exemplary, and historically intriguing, his choice of acquisitions goes beyond mere status buying and museological standards.
There are fantastically mundane discoveries on display: a "Slidem-Solitaire Puzzle" with a wartime motif; a futuristic 1939 World's Fair postcard; a Hitler pincushion, which its U.S. manufacturer dubbed the "Hotzi Notzi"; and Dutch postage stamps. Also included are pieces by many important designers and artists in the history of the decorative arts, some of whose names will be recognizable to the general public -- William Morris, El Lissitzky, Paul Frankl, Isamu Noguchi, Marcel Duchamp, and various members of the Bauhaus school, to name only a few, with a particular concentration on Italians. In most cases, Wolfson has acquired uncharacteristic or rare examples of their work, including a lightweight leg splint designed by Charles Eames, Jr., for the U.S. Navy, Noguchi's Bakelite shortwave radio transmitter in the shape of a nurse's head (for use as an intercom in a child's room), and Duchamp's spinning spiral lithographs, which the artist called Rotoreliefs (optical discs).
Headed by Wendy Kaplan, the Wolfsonian's curatorial staff has rummaged through the museum's 70,000 holdings -- as well as borrowed some items from other private and public collections -- to present an uncluttered but far-reaching visual and social history of Western industrial design that effectively demonstrates how political and societal change is promoted and perceived through everyday objects, patriotic posters and memorabilia, typography and book design, and, to a lesser extent here, fine art.
Through these objects, the exhibition follows the evolution of style, politics, and public opinion from the dawn of the modern machine age and mass production at the turn of the century to the end of World War II. It stops squarely on the threshold of the electronic age, when the media presented new forms of mass communication that advanced consumer culture and the cult of personality beyond what could previously have been imagined.
At the show's press preview, Micky Wolfson provocatively announced that perhaps he should have extended the scope of his collection beyond 1945 to encompass the Cold War period, ending with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The mind reels at the possibility. As it is, "Designing Modernity" -- which represents just a small fraction of the museum's existing collection -- is divided into three main sections: "Confronting Modernity," "Celebrating Modernity," and "Manipulating Modernity: Political Persuasion," each of which has been subdivided into several groupings, and all of which have been displayed in separate galleries on the Wolfsonian's fifth floor.
Visitors exit an elevator and enter a display of furniture, decorative household objects, and textiles in a carpeted room, a touch that enhances those items' intimate nature. Dating from Britain's late-nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts movement, this first part of the exhibition demonstrates how artisans resisted the onset of industrialized production by continuing to produce organic, handmade items: an ornamental box made to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, artfully adorned with symbols of the Crown; the book The Great Wonder: A Vision of the Apocalypse, with watercolor illustrations by Violet Oakley, created to accompany a mural commissioned for the Alumnae House at Vassar College in 1924; an oak and copper Stickley clock; a Dutch chair with an exotic arrangement of five legs.
This section continues with a gallery devoted to romantic nationalism, which incorporated folk traditions into new, mass-produced designs: a sideboard with a centerpiece shaped like a plow; an intricate tapestry -- The Daughters of the Northern Lights -- designed by the well-known Norwegian painter Gerhard Munthe, replete with national symbols; a Sicilian tea cart modeled on the region's colorful wooden pony carts; a portfolio by Frank Lloyd Wright. The latter part of "Confronting Modernity" exhibits examples of a forward-thinking aesthetic, including a futurist book bound together with bolts; Marinetti's onomatopoeic war epic Zang Tumb Tuuum; and Swiss designer Camillo Cerri's chunky wooden desk, which, with its irregular angles and one high side, resembles a mountain range.
From there the show moves on to "Celebrating Modernity" and the streamlined designs of the 1930s, which embodied the new age of transatlantic travel. (Accordingly, the museum's carpet has been removed here, exposing shiny gray terrazzo-style floors, which connote a slicker ambiance.) An exceptional piece here is futurist sculptor Renato Bertelli's Profilo Continuo del Duce, (Continuous Profile of Mussolini, a 360-degree abstract representation of the Italian leader's profile, an all-seeing Mussolini with a bionic presence.
Other items celebrate speed: the painting 6th Ave. El, by the American artist Peter Berent; a chrome-plate steel pitcher shaped like the bow of a ship; and a children's toy model of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin, which hangs from the ceiling. Elsewhere the thrusting modern shape of the skyscraper is depicted in posters, paintings, and photographs, while Paul Frankl has adapted it for a bookcase, and it has also been used for an adults' game and a stainless-steel scale. Here, too, is a stainless-steel model for a futuristic theme center at the 1939 New York World's Fair, as well as a freestanding, spherical, midnight-blue glass radio, The Nocturne, which conjures the swing sound of the jazz age.
Further on, "Design for Industry" documents the mass production of avant-garde creations by Bauhaus affiliates and others, while "Traditions Transformed" shows how less radical creations for the home helped to acclimate the public to the age of modernism.
While "Celebrating Modernity" is certainly the sexiest part of this exhibition, "Manipulating Modernity: Political Persuasion" has a darker fascination, detailing forms of political propaganda from the Thirties through the end of World War II. In the first gallery, "Evoking the Past" includes objects that extol traditional nationalist aesthetics: a Home of Hitler Youth plaque in the shape of an eagle; a painting of two nudes, representing the German ideal of beauty; a National Rifle Association poster ("NRA Member. U.S. We Do Our Part").
Along with Nazi memorabilia and Fascist art, posters and prints make up much of this last part of the exhibition and attest to the outstanding international graphic design of this period. For example, there's the cover of an exhibition catalogue celebrating the anniversary of the Fascists' rise to power in Italy, plus posters promoting WPA programs in the U.S. and the Russian lottery. Additionally, you can see Ben Shahn's unnerving 1942 poster -- in bold letters it proclaims "This is Nazi brutality," while showing a man in shackles with a hood placed over his head.

A gallery representing "Social Commentary" includes a Norman Rockwell print of a sleeping child (it bears the legend, "OURS . . . to Fight For, FREEDOM FROM FEAR"), Hitler and Mussolini puppets, and a chilling book of prints that depict the story of Alabama's Scottsboro Boys, black youths unfairly executed for a rape they did not commit.
Some members of the general public might be more taken with the historical aspects of "Designing Modernity" than with its decorative arts elements. Acknowledging this, the Wolfsonian has set up a self-tour system, with a device called an Acoustiguide, which looks something like a portable phone. The visitor punches in the numbers found next to a selected piece and hears details about its provenance, as well as additional data about relevant design movements and their social and political context, all of it explained by anonymous male and female voices.
While the Acoustiguide is informative, it somehow seems inadequate. This exhibition is about the stories that objects tell, and academic descriptions fail to bring those stories to life. This relentlessly personal collection begs for viewers to be able to hear the anecdotes behind the acquisition of its individual pieces, to be able to tap into the Acoustiguide and listen to Micky Wolfson delightedly describe his forays into dusty Italian bookstores, German antique shops, and Dutch homes to capture his prey. To be privy to the the hunt would add to the vicarious thrills offered by "Designing Modernity," a fascinating tale of modern times.

New Technology For U.S. Soldiers
Posted By Ben Goulding, 6 July, 2009 | permalink
When the U.S. Soldiers of the 5th Stryker Brigade touch down in Afghanistan later this month, they will be equipped with the most high-tech gear to aid them in combat.
The new "Land Warrior" computer system enables soldiers to view digital terrain maps, track fellow soldiers with GPS, communicate with soldiers and medics via text messaging or whispers and quickly pinpoint where the enemy is located.
"We'd jump off the helicopter, and within seconds we knew exactly where we were and exactly where we the target was," one soldier stated. "You don't really need to communicate through the radio to find out where others are or pull a piece of paper out of your pocket to find out where you need to go."
Like in the movies, soldiers' helmets contain microphones and computerized eyepieces, and their rifles will have an extra array of laser sights and sensors networked with backpack computers.
The Pentagon's push to continually improve soldiers' equipment will most definitely come in handy as troops increase their offense against the Taliban.

I had saline breast implants done about 3 1/2 years ago when one day I woke up to my right breast looking deflated. Could him cutting under the muscle, then placing the implant above be the cause? After having the implants after a year, I was also able to feel the valve/ port on my breast tissue. I haven't quite looked at my contract, but I'm just wondering if it was even ok for him to place the implant above the muscle, when we were told and had agreed it was going to be below the muscle.
Saline Breast Implants 3.5 Years Ago and One Looks Deflated?

Saline Breast Implants 3.5 Years Ago and One Looks Deflated?
While it may be easy to tell that your implant has deflated the actual placement of the implant and any reasons contributing to the complication will be better determined during an examination by a qualified plastic surgeon. I would suggest that you have your breast evaluated so that you can make an informed decision and have the issue corrected as soon as possible.
Be well and good luck!
Implant placement has nothing to do with deflation rates. Bayou could have a slow leak which is why it is smaller but not completely back to Perioperative size. See your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
Implant deflation
If your implant deflated, it is best to see your surgeon for evaluation. Usually the implant company will cover some of the costs.

3.5 years and it looks like it has deflated it can be possible you should see a certified Plastic surgeon to exam that and tell you your options.
Change in implant size may Indicate a rupture
If you are noticing that one implant is appearing smaller, it is possible that it is leaking. A slow leaking saline implant may take years to completely deflate. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you. Regarding the other issue you raised, I agree that actual location of the implnt will have nothing to do with rupture rate. If you feel like there was a deviation for the planned surgical procedure, you should discuss this with your surgeon, although there is probably not much to discuss 3 1/2 years later. Good Luck

Actually the position, over or under the muscle has little to do with premature implant deflation. Most implants in the US do have a replacement warranty which should help you get things sorted out.

Deflation of saline implant
While it is uncommon for saline implants to deflate so soon after surgery, if you have noticed a significant change in the size of the implant on one side then it is possible you have developed a leak in the implant. Other reasons for the breast to look smaller is a lateral stretching of the pocket which allows the implant to slide laterally and not fill the central breast as well, making the breast look smaller. You should have the breasts evaluated further by your surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon to confirmthe leakage and have the situation rectified or to see if there is another cause for the smaller appearance. Both Mentor and Allergan have replacement policies for the implant itself if it has leaked, and if it does so within the first ten years, there is some assistance for the surgical fees. Sometimes leaks can be related to underfilling of the implant but it can also be related to valve failure with a slow leak. The position of the implant, whether below or above the muscle, does not affect the integrity or lifespan of the implant.
Saline implant deflation
Where your implant was placed likely has nothing to do with your implant deflation. If you feel your right breast is getting smaller, you may have a tiny leak in your saline implants. You will need revision surgery to get this corrected. If you are experiencing rippling or have very thin tissue, you may want to consider a transition to silicone gel implants and placement under the muscle. Please see a board certified PS for evaluation. Best of luck.

Saline Implant Deflated after 3 Years
Saline breast augmentations can deflate anytime. There is no strong correlation between the location of the implant and the rate of deflation. You may want to check to see if your warranty on the implants is still valid, especially if you had purchased an extended warranty. Sometimes the cost of exchange or the implant can be stipended with the extended warranty. A site change to under the muscle would be ideal if you are a candidate to help reduce palpability of the valve and implant.
Saline implant deflation
There is no correlation between implant rupture and implant location (over vs. under the muscle placement). Although implants are very safe medical devices, they can have rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture. Implant rupture is usually due to device failure and wear and tear of it. In regards to your implant placement, you may want to ask your plastic surgeon whether he can perform a site change if you still want the implants under the muscle.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- When I saw that people were all freaked out because Microsoft (MSFT) won't be able to hire incoming Qualcomm (QCOM) CEO Steve Mollenkopf, I formed an "L" with my left hand and held it in front of my forehead.
Concern that some guy nobody outside of extreme geek culture has ever heard of or cares to learn about will not end up MSFT CEO only underscores the pointlessness and certain failure of the entire exercise.
Retreads (and no names). As far as we have heard, these two categories comprise the candidate pool to replace Steve Ballmer.
Following the major professional sports method of hiring retreads as "leaders" will further crush Microsoft from within. The company's set to reinforce the nail Ballmer hammered into its coffin with some wood glue.
Maybe they could hire Mike Shanahan. Or Marty Schottenheimer. How about swapping John Tortorella for Alain Vigneault? That's worked out well. Bring in a former coach turned broadcaster who wants to become a coach again. Mike Ditka looked pretty good in the cold the other night.
The only thing more pathetic than concern that Mollenkopf is out of the running is considering Stephen Elop of Nokia (NOK).
What has Elop accomplished at Nokia that even remotely qualifies him to take over a company wallowing in a mix of relative obscurity and frustration with consumers? Let's not even get into the other mess he'll have to contend with -- pending assaults from Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) in enterprise hardware as well as software and services.

Champlin resident Curtis Burton will take to the stage at Lyric Arts once again this weekend. This time Burton, who has appeared in numerous shows at Lyric Arts over the years, will star as Horace Vandergelder in the theatre's production of "Hello, Dolly!"
It's the beginning of the 20th century in New York, and matchmaking extraordinaire Dolly Gallagher Levi is looking for a husband — and not just any husband. This queen of mischief has her eye on the miserly half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder. However, when she is hired to find him a wife, she must do everything she can to win the heart of her unsuspecting "husband-to-be" before he gets hitched to someone else.
With beloved songs like Before the Parade, It Only Takes a Moment, and Hello, Dolly, this show whisks Dolly and Horace around New York on a whirlwind into the hearts of audiences of all ages.
"This show has stood the test of time not only because of the fantastic music, well-placed humor and happy ending but also because it celebrates the strength of women," said director Barb Hynes-Tomczyk. "Dolly is strong, feisty, and makes her own destiny, and I believe that determination is something that appeals to every generation."
Previously directing "A Laura Ingall's Christmas," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and last season's "Over the Tavern," Hynes-Tomczyk is no stranger to the Lyric Arts community.
"I'm excited to have been asked to bring such a beloved musical to the northern suburbs, and couldn't be more pleased with the cast and crew who have been an integral part of helping me bring this show to life," she said.
If you go…
"Hello, Dolly!" opens Feb.15 and runs through March 17. Tickets for the production and reservations can be made by calling the box office at 763-422-1838 or by visiting the Lyric Arts website at www.lyricarts.org.
Patrons interested in expanding their night at the theater are invited to celebrate the opening of "Hello, Dolly!" by attending Lyric Arts' exclusive "Opening Night Gala" on Friday, Feb. 15. For an additional $18 over the price of a ticket, Gala attendees will be treated to heavy appetizers and bottomless drinks before the show, a V.I.P. line during intermission, and dessert afterwards with the cast and crew.
Theater enthusiasts are also welcome to join in a talk-back question and answer session with the "Hello, Dolly!" cast and crew on Saturday, Feb. 24. Talk-back sessions are offered for every show on the third Sunday of the run. All talk-back events take place after the show and are open to the public. For reservations, contact Alison Hall at 763-433-2510, ext. 101 or [email protected]

A Loyalty Oath Firing in 2008
Many people think of loyalty oaths as relics of the McCarthy era, long ago outlawed or abandoned. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has banned only certain kinds of loyalty oaths, permitting others. Last week, a mathematics instructor at California State University East Bay lost her job for refusing to sign one.
Marianne Kearney-Brown, who is also a graduate student at East Bay, tried to add a word to the state's Oath of Allegiance so that it would conform with her Quaker beliefs. The university offered her the chance to add a statement with her views, but insisted that she sign the oath, unaltered, and said that it had no choice but to fire her when she refused. A statement from the university said that if she changes her mind, East Bay would rehire her.
California's oath for state employees states: "I, ____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter."
The change Kearney-Brown tried to make was to insert "nonviolently" before the phrase "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." She told The San Francisco Chronicle that she had previously made that change -- without objection -- when she held jobs in public schools. "I don't think it was fair at all," Kearney-Brown told the newspaper, of East Bay's decision. "All they care about is my name on an unaltered loyalty oath. They don't care if I meant it, and it didn't seem connected to the spirit of the oath. Nothing else mattered. My teaching didn't matter. Nothing."
In an interview with Inside Higher Ed, James Banks, president of the United Auto Workers chapter that represents California State graduate teaching assistants such as Kearney-Brown, said that the union has already filed a grievance on her behalf. Banks declined to discuss the grounds for the grievance, and said that this was the first time someone the UAW represents at Cal State has lost a job for this reason.
"It's an absurd and outrageous action to dismiss her," he said.
Henry Reichman, professor of history at East Bay and chair of the Academic Senate there, said that as soon as he heard about the situation Friday, he sent an e-mail to administrators that said in part: "What are we? Nitpicking State University? It would be one thing if Ms. Kearney-Brown had defaced the form or added illegal material. But the university's stance puts her in the untenable position of either violating her religious faith by signing something she does not believe in -- and which is completely irrelevant to what she was hired to teach -- or losing her employment with us."
Reichman stressed via e-mail that he believed the problem was with the Cal State system's legal interpretation and not with East Bay leaders. He said that he was drafting a resolution for the Academic Senate to consider and that some on the campus are considering going to the human resources department as a group to demand the right to add the word "nonviolently" to their oaths.
"The decision was unnecessary; unduly and, dare I say, stupidly legalistic; and deeply embarrassing to the university and all members of the university community," Reichman said. The Volokh Conspiracy, a popular legal blog, is also suggesting that Cal State could have accepted the additional word without incident.
Some who share his sympathy for Kearney-Brown, however, say that East Bay was acting within the law.
Michael A. Olivas, director of the Institute of Higher Education Law and Governance, at the University of Houston, said that there are two broad categories of loyalty oaths. The first is "disclaimer oaths," in which people are told to certify that they are not or have not been members of certain groups (the Communist Party is cited in many oaths of the Cold War). The second category is the "non-binding affirmative" oath, in which people are asked to pledge loyalty to the Constitution, to the United States, etc.
The Supreme Court barred the first category in 1967 in a case called Keyishian v. Board of Regents, in which faculty members at the State University of New York challenged an oath that required them to state that they had never been members of the Communist Party and that, if they had been, they had informed the university president. In rejecting the New York oath, the Supreme Court specifically cited the values of academic freedom, and the dangers posed by creating any "orthodoxy" requirement for teaching. Olivas noted that this type of oath "assumes your membership in a group compromises your ability to do public work," without any link established between group membership, belief, and an employee's actions or abilities.
In a series of other court rulings, however, affirmative loyalty oaths have been upheld, Olivas noted. "It's surprising that they are still used," he said, adding that he believes many places that still have them on the books ignore the requirement. However, courts have not rejected them.
To sign a disclaimer oath when one has been in the Communist Party posed a significant danger to a faculty member, who might be fired or indicted for lying on a state form. In contrast, someone who signs the kind of oath California still has while "crossing your fingers" does not face the same sort of material danger, Olivas said. "That doesn't mean it's not offensive to people who care," he said. It's just that "there are fig leaves available."
While the courts may consider these oaths constitutional, he added, that doesn't make them right. Said Olivas: "It is problematic that what is a coercive, completely unnecessary oath would be used as a condition for employment."

Dusting off the cobwebs in this thread.
Running_Calvinist: A lot of people check this thread out, no reason why you shouldn't as well. I check in on sub-3 and the 3:20 threads because I 'know' a lot of people there and like to see how they're progressing. There are sub-3 runners on the 3:20 thread -- they stick around because they like the group.
St George Marathon Training, week 4 of 14 (****'s getting serious!):
M: 5.2 easy (7:50)
T: AM 8.5 w/2x3k at 5:58/mi, 5:46/mi (3-min. rec) + PM 3.5 slow (8:02)
W: AM 10 easy (7:22) + PM 3.1 easy (7:47)
Th: AM 6.1 easy (7:20) + PM 3.6 easy (7:46) in the soup
F: AM 9.3 w/6x2 min. hills (5% grade) + PM 3.1 slow (7:47) in more soup
Sa: AM 6.3 easy (7:34) + PM 3.6 easy (7:45)
Su: 20 steady (7:14)
Total: 82 miles
Decent week for me, though it's a bit scary to think there are only 10 weeks left before the race. I feel like things are moving forward but I'm nowhere near where I'd like to be. My Tuesday workout was supposed to be 3x3k but I had no sense of pace for that threshold and blew it by running the first K of the second set in 3:31. My goose was cooked, so I bagged the 3rd set. Obviously I need a more stepwise progression for tempos, so I'll probably do cruise miles next week, maybe 2ks the following week. Meanwhile, the hill workout was good. 6 reps is excellent on that hill, but I don't feel I've mastered it quite yet, so I'll probably repeat the workout next week. Cumulative miles and humidity caught up with me a little on the long run today as I didn't feel I could press the pace. It seemed the right thing to do to relax and keep the effort moderate to easy. I was soaked by the 4th mile.
cooperaa: 20 in 2:02 is no joke, my friend. I hope the appt. with the MD is productive. Sounds like you're managing things quite well! Be careful -- don't get too close to the edge.
Don't you worry about burning out before your race doing workouts like that so early in a long cycle?
BTW, congrats on an amazing 10K in the middle of a high mileage week.
- rovatti
trout - That 5:42 mile felt pretty good considering how long I had been running. I was probably on the rivet or at least dancing around it.
cooperaa - I agree with rovatti. Considering your shin and how far away Hamilton is that workout seems pretty hard. Hate to see you run all these great workouts and then limp into race day. Not trying to rain on your parade or send any negative energy but I have seen it happen a lot.
Amuse - Just focus on building fitness and see where it takes you at St George. A wise poster said something similar once. Come out of St George healthy and then you can really roll a spring marathon. Focus on the long game.
My week:
M: 8.0 recovery (7:58) - treadmill
T: 8.0 easy (7:40) - treadmill
W: 8.0 w/ 5x1k @ 5:16 pace/2 min rest - treadmill
T: 8.0 recovery (7:58) - treadmill
F: 8.0 recovery (8:12)
S: 5.1 w/ 5k @ 16:27
week: 45.20
Took a light week after a period of fairly heavy training (at least for me). The 5x1k treadmill workout was interesting. It felt a lot faster than 5:16 on the road but the effort level is less. I think it served its purpose though by getting the legs turning over quickly. Really pleased with the 5k this morning. The weather was rough 80/73 but hey its July. My main competition and fellow teammate showed up this morning. We talked before the race and he said that he wasn't going to race since he drank some last night (he ran a 16:41 at the first 5k of the series so he didn't need to race the 2nd one) However, his wife wanted to so he said what the heck. He said he would try to hang with me. I was rolling my eyes since I have heard folks play down there chances only to roar to PRs. We ran side by side for the first mile and I was a little nervous that he was feeling good because I wasn't. Mile 1 : 5:05. After the first water stop at the top of a roller he started sliding back and I didn't see him again. Hit the halfway mark and started to pick up a slight tailwind. Unlike the previous 5k about 5 weeks ago when I wilted after mile 1 I started feeling ok. Mile 2: 5:28. I think the first mile marker may have been a little short because I didn't slow down that much. Stuck with it the last mile and felt strong. These track workouts definitely have helped over the last month. Mile 3: 5:22. Punched it over the last tenth to make sure to go under 16:30 - time 16:27 (5:18 avg) 1st OA. The wife and kids showed up by the finish so that helped. So after the 5k leg I have a 14 second lead. 5 miler up next. I will take a planned 3 day break M-W and then start it up again. I took this rest/recovery approach at certain key points back in 2011 and it seemed to work well.
tn_weather- Yeah, there's so many bones in the foot. It reminds me how perfectly our bodies have to work in order to work well. It's kind of amazing. Nice win in the 5k! That's a solid time for warm conditions. I would've wilted.
cinnamon- I've never had anybody crack my toes before. Usually I go the massage route.
troutpan- It's funny how week to week we can feel so much better or worse. You have any idea what the culprit is? Sleep, stress, pace, weather?
cooperaa- I frequently skip the first workout of the week after a race. You were smart to pull the plug. That Saturday workout looks incredible. Wow.
Amuse- Nice week. The humidity is pretty terrible today. I'm amazed you got through 20 in it.

Total: 51 miles. My foot felt better with every passing day this week. So I started to ramp back into my regular schedule. I can definitely feel the increase in strength since I've started going to the gym again over the last month. When I focus on using my glutes, my pace suddenly drops to 6:40s unintentionally and I've been killing the hills. So I've been enjoying that. This week I'll continue ramping up and throw in a tempo run. I'm signed up for a half in 3 weeks, but I'm thinking I'll pace one of my training partners who is a 2:48 guy but hasn't raced a half in 3 years. That way it takes the pressure off and I don't have to worry about my sub-optimal training. I suspect we'll go 1:19.
tn_weather: Congrats on the win! Old guys rule!
45 miles, though? Slacker.
Wayne: I'm glad the foot is feeling better. It's interesting how form cues (like use the glutes) can really help. Good stuff.
Have been MIA mostly due to work and too much running! I hit another 100mile week, second in a row (second overall), and have averaged 91m in the six weeks of this cycle. I don't have niggles as I just run a lot of steady state and tempo pace, and have foregone with interval pace (which is usually my injury bane). I am however getting tired, so will take my first cut back this week (-30% in volume). My program is at this time totally experimental, but like it so far. To illustrate my week:
M-T: All ranging from easy to medium progression in total 51.5m (I don't log speed or time for easy stuff; only distance)
F: AM 12.5m quasi tempo with 10m@95% or 6:26 (Canova style) - had a mild hangover, so didn't want to run really hard, but this effort was a breeze and thus encouraging!
S - AM 19.2m very hilly long run + PM 6.2 recovery - don't know why so much, but experimental :-)
S - PM 10.5m quasi tempo with 4*2km @ 5:50 - which felt easy considering the day prior.
M - i.e. Today rest!
So I still have 12 wks to get me where I want to be, which includes a 10m tempo in 1 hour; tempo interval pace up 5:40; and MP at 6:06. Feel good where I am right now, and will keep pushing.
Run in HK - nice week. When I was younger, I remember some of best runs came with a hangover!
Wayne - glad the foot is on the mend
TN Weather - nice 5k
Amuse - solid, consistent progress is a wonderful thing!
I managed another 90 mile week, so 5 of the last 6 have been 90 or greater. The plan was for more quality, but all I could muster was an 18:09 5k on Wednesday night. I think I could have broke 18, but the elastic in the liner of my racing shorts went out and it's difficult to concentrate on racing when you are frequently "adjusting!" Thursday was a half-hearted progression run, Friday was easy hills and Saturday was a über humid 20 miler that went rather well.
A muse: +1 to what TN said .. but I hear you on the freaking out part. Nice 80+ week and 20 miler today.
TN .. woohoo! Congrats on 1st place! You kicked local ass. Feels nice, don't it and +1 to A muse - old guys rule.
Swamp: yet another nice week! Very nice. I wish I could put in around 90 miles week after week. I am still wallowing around in the 60s. What 5k race was it?
Pablo: update???
Wayne: pacing at AFC?
63 miles on 6 days with two workouts. Tuesday was 11.5 mi w/10 x 1 min fast (515) with full recoveries followed by 3 miles (618). Thursday was 10 x 2 min hills (7.5%) with jog down followed by 3 miles (640). Tuesday was a totally easy workout. Thursday was entirely different story. I hobbled around all day Friday and it screwed with Saturday's planned long progression run. Looking back, I should have done something like 8 x 90 sec hills .. or something .. because I don't remember the last time I did hard, short hill repeats. OH WELL. Still, not a bad week I guess.
Was going through my log and had rolling week of 107m through Sunday-Saturday. Questioning my sanity, but definitely will cut back now. No injury or other material niggles so far.
Swamp - Another solid week and good average mileage. I like this mileage driven approach too, but am trying to introduce quality now as well.
Wayne - I like the foot story. Indicates how random running can be (both good and bad I guess). Good luck in the half, would have liked you pace me :-) I am looking for a sub 1:19 3wks before my maraton in October!
TN - Good race in the heat. The track workouts definitely help you speed up! Only short races over the summer or also longer stuff coming up?
Amuse - Your weeks seem to come nicely together w good mileage, considering that the back might still not be 100? In 10 weeks a lot can happen fitness wise, and maybe like IRR a low-key preparation will actually produce a better result.
Coopera - Another tough week. I am not surprised that the long run was rough, as you seem to be doing those every week. Hope you can balance them with your shin issue and good luck at the doctor.
Cinnamongirl - good week. I dislike short hill repeats. They are wonderful to boost fitness, but I tend to either get lightheaded in the heat or pull a calf muscle. Longer measured efforts are better for me.
RiHK: Wow, you really are churning out some great runs. I'm impressed that you're handling the longer tempos so well. How did it occur to you to run a double after 19 miles in the morning? Good idea to take a cutback week -- consolidate the gains!
Swampangel: 18:09 with, em, equipment issues is really good, particularly with your mileage.
cinnamongirl: 10x2 minute hills at 7.5%? Geez.
Ok A muse, you made me nervous that I gave false info so thought I would double check.
A few of the hills (Mt Soledad) I pretty much started at the same place, where I ended varied a little.
107 ft for 0.26 mi
114 ft for 0.28 mi
106 ft for 0.24 mi
Garmin data so whether that is reliable I have no clue.
RiHK - hills in the heat doesn't help matters. I work primarily second shift so my runs are around 11 am - 1 pm. And there's never a cloudy day here (well, except for yesterday but that was an exception). Sun. All. The. Time. I felt a knot in my calf on Friday but it's gone now. My right ankle was really sore but it's ok now too. Thanks.

Mt. Soledad is a huge hill. Didn't mean to cast any doubt on the workout -- it just seemed awfully hard, to me (and I wouldn't characterize 2 minutes on such a thing as 'short'). I run my repeats on the 6th Ave. hill heading into the park -- basically the last stretch of the hill that everyone hates at AFC. I've never run more than 8 -- eventually it's boring to keep shuffling back down the hill.
tn - Congrats on the Win!
RiHK, Swampangel, Cinnamongirl - Nice mileage.
A little cross-training for me this Saturday. I went rock climbing for the first time in 15 years. On the first climb I got halfway up, got stuck, hating life, wondering what the heck I was doing, clawed my way to the top, rappelled down and said...hmm, ok, I gotta try that again. Bought a bunch of climbing gear the next day.
Fast 10 mi trail run on Sunday. Injury recovery is going well enough to target a fall 50k. The great thing about pain free running after an injury is you just feel like you could run forever. Staring down the Moab Dead Horse at the moment. Road speed is also getting there so I'm thinking the 50k will be a nice end-game training run for a road marathon. Gotta get a better corral position at Boston next year.
ziggy- Your rock climbing experience sounds suspiciously like a first time marathon experience. Enjoy Moab... beautiful place. Arches is one of my favorite national parks.
cinnamon- Not officially pacing, but keeping my running buddy honest. I'm also hoping I won't have to walk on the 6th Ave hill like I've done every. single. time. I've run AFC.
Run-in-HK- That's a lot of miles. If that doesn't get you to your goal time, I don't know what will.
Amuse - Also surprised that the longer semi-hard (canova style) efforts are coming easily. Now I have to get the endurance ready for longer harder efforts. I think what helped me was that between March and May I ran a lot of steady faster miles in lieu of any tempo / interval pacing. This seems to have improved my base speed. In any case goal MP is still for a 2:40-2:42, so still have a ways to go. The big Saturday was partially a timesaver as well, as I wanted to run only one time on Sunday, and I felt so strong that I just went for it. Interesting that the body can handle that much!
Trout - Solid week and quality. That tempo seemed rough... especially running the second half after blowing up your legs with hill sprints sounds tough.
Ziggy - Must have mentioned it before, but it sounds great to live where you do. Lots of good trails and nature. Good luck building fitness.
I am also contemplating signing up for a back-up marathon. My original target was 26/10 in Osaka (mostly flat, some flyovers / bridges). But I will be in Netherlands on 12/10, when there is a big pancake flat fast marathon lined up (Eindhoven). If I risk peaking to early, I might just pull the trigger two weeks early. The other option is to blow a HM on 5/10 out of the park. Since I am not following a strict schedule, when do you guys think you feel / know that you are peaking?
Thanks for all the congrats!
Wayne - Glad the foot is coming around. Maxmize that gluteus!
Amuse - Yeah pretty sad mileage even by my lowly standards. The week was just nuts. Flat out every day. Decided not to fight it and try to recover some. I'm going to continue to ride the slacker train into the middle of the week.
cooper - I know you are not winging it but you are flying. lol. Pretty weak but I'm on the graveyard shift this week.
runinhk - Nice rolling 7 day and Canova workout. I really like that stuff and look forward to doing more this fall. Looks like you are in a good place and a cut back is probably a good idea. I'm doing this local road race series that gradually stretches out the distance...5k...5 miler...10k...10 miler...half. The half is either 3 or 5 weeks before St Jude. Btw I know that I have peaked about 2 weeks after it happens. lol
swamp - Damn - can't say I have heard of that one before!
cinammon - 8 sec is short. 2 min @ 7.5% sounds like an eternity. I think garmin elevation numbers aren't bad as long as the elevation correction is enabled.
Ziggy - You are really taking advantage of living out west. One adventure after another. Jealous. Glad things are coming around.
troutpan - Nice week with some strong workouts in there.
Hey guys, just stopping by to post my week. I'll be back later to catch up on posts...
M: 4 easy (7:28)
Tu: am - 4 easy (7:21) / pm - 10 easy (7:02)
W: am - 9 total w/ 4 x mile w/ 3:45 rest (4:53, 4:51, 4:52, 4:53) / pm - 4 easy (7:32)
Th: 10 easy (7:06)
F: 9 easy (7:21)
Sa: 16 total w/ 1 mile easy, 14 steady (6:01 avg), 1 mile easy
Su: OFF
Weekly Total - 66 miles
Slightly lower mileage this week, Monday was massive thunderstorms almost all day, and I was lucky just to get that 4 miler in. Sunday was simply a lost day, I had the time to run, but just...didn't. Very happy with both workouts last week. My fitness is really turning a corner, and my legs are feeling pretty good right now. I'm a little surprised that my speed is where it's at right now. I'm running with a local master's guy who's running heavy VO2 max stuff right now, and I'm just following that. With my lack of running formal workouts for a number of years, I think I'm responding pretty well to the increased intensity.
Either way, I'm enjoying running again, and that's what I'm most happy about.
Run-in-HK: Awesome mileage and way to crush that hangover tempo . 25.4 miles on Sunday... no big deal If I were in your shoes and travelling the world, I'd be really tempted to run a marathon or two or at least a couple shorter distance races.
Swampangel: Any cutback weeks on the horizon? Sounds like you've been putting in some decent mileage for a while. Good work on the 5K!
cinnamongirl69: Sounds like those were some tough hill intervals. Be careful when you incorporate something new - I'm always nervous about adding new ingredients to the mix.
troutpan: Solid week. Nice steady progression on Friday.
pablo04: Man, 4x sub 5 minute miles. I don't even know what to think of that! Glad to hear you're having fun as I think that's really what will keep you coming back for more.
troutpan: great week! Impressive to have 3 days where you can push the paces.
Ziggy: Sounds like a great plan.
pablo: the mile repeats and 'steady' 14-miles at 6 mpm are very impressive. Your fitness is looking really good. Do you prefer running this sort of volume?
Pablo - Wow...nice miles! When are you racing next?
troutpan: how exactly was Tuesday's workout? tempo, then hills - or the hills were part of the tempo miles? So you did 5% at 5:04 pace?!?! Nice long progression run too. Good Luck at the 10k this weekend (?) Doing anything specific this week?
Wayne: Sounds like you and your running friend need each other. Has he ran AFC before?
Pablo: You so fast. I love mile repeats. You didn't make mention of the rash so I assume all is back to normal. And sounds like everything else is going well too. Happy Running!
Amuse: you should question anything I post. I questioned it too so I needed to double check.
TN: I like that concept/idea of a local race series with progressing distances.
Was at the track today .. some guy was doing 'sprints' with like a parachute tied around his waist. He only would run like 30 yards or so before stopping.
A muse - Right now, I am very much enjoying this volume. That's not to say I won't ever get the drive to knock out 100+ mpw again, but I'm content to hold it here for a bit. Even with your humidity, you managed to have your longest run of the week also the fastest. A good sign considering you didn't push the pace.
tn_weather - Major congrats on the 5k victory! Must've been nice to have the family witness that as well. I can't imagine trying to run that kind of interval workout on the treadmill...I think that would feel a little awkward. My next race is Aug. 16th (5k). Considering recent workouts, I should be in the 15:10-20 range.
Wayne - Good to hear the foot is on the mend. FWIW, I've been incorporating a weight and core routine since February and I think that's been a key in keeping me healthy.
Run-in-HK - That's a damn good looking week! You've managed to quietly put together an impressive string of weeks. Keep the effort level in check though (which you are), 12 weeks is still a lot of time.
Swampangel - I had to laugh at the drawstring comment...I've got a pair of shorts that are almost 10 years old, and I won't do any racing or workouts in them for just that reason
cinnamongirl - How often are you doing hill workouts, because I tend to see them from you pretty regularly? And yes, my rash is doing much better...thanks for asking. It was really only 'bad' for 2 days, once I got the drugs from the doctor, it cleared up pretty quick.
I've decided to target my local half marathon as a 'goal' race. It's December 6th, so still a good ways away, but I would like to at least PR with maybe having the outside shot at sub-1:08 depending on how training goes.
pablo: I like your plan -- allows you to focus on speed and stamina while delaying the bump in mileage until fall, when conditions should be a little more tolerable. sub-1:08 would be something to behold.
ziggy- Your rock climbing experience sounds suspiciously like a first time marathon experience.
That's exactly what I thought, except for me its the same as every marathon experience.
TN - This is what you get to do when you become an empty nester.
Boulder is gearing up for its first ever full Ironman this Sunday. The marathon course is almost entirely on the creek paths, which are concrete. Ouch. Crazy amount of rain lately, and forecast through the weekend. Hopefully flooding won't be an issue.
Pablo - I always find your paces amazing, but simple reality is that you are so much faster. I train here sometimes with a friend that runs 2:31 marathons, and when he is running steady I am hanging on for dear life! Good week in volume though as well.
That same 2:31 friend just had his hart checked out and turns out there is some clotting. Will need meds or surgery. Not sure if that is running related, but could be excarbated by running, but just makes you appreciate your own health.
My cut back week is progressing nicely. I wanted to cut back in mileage and doubles and not so much intensity. So the plan is/was 6*12m (took a day off) so I do nice consistent mileage. 12m doesn't feel too hard for a single run, which is a good sign. Yesterday I ran tempo intervals with 3*4km at 5:55 pacing, which felt fast but doable. This weekend another Canova style run with 12m including 1hr at 95-97.5% or MP. I ran 413 miles in month of July, new mileage record for me I think.
runinhk - Very nice Canova style intervals! Good confidence builder. Sorry about your friend. Hope he is ok. Do you mean artery clogging vs clotting?
Pablo - Yeah that workout was a little awkward mostly because of the stares at the gym. Hey look at the old nutter on the mill.
Back at it after a 3 day respite. It was some of the nicest weather that I have ever seen in Memphis in July so I felt a little guilty about not taking advantage but the extra sleep was nice.
RiHK: Very impressive -- both the mileage and the workouts.
Anyone here run a Sub three hour marathon without using a canned plan like Pfitz/Daniels etc. but did something different?

Very few of us on this thread are using canned plans.
I was reading the Sub three hour thread and one guy described his plan as IDGAFIJRAR ( I don't give a f I just run and run).
I was reading the Sub three hour thread and one guy described his plan as IDGAFIJRAR ( I don't give a f I just run and run).
Samurai - I think that any marathon program consists of the basic ingredients of mileage, long runs, and speed work (tempo, intervals, and so on). I think you always need a mix of these, whether you follow a pre made program or not. Also terminology is very different by different people. Some people never run structured track intervals, but still do fast fartleks and hillsprints, which kind of train the same systems. Some people claim not to run tempos, but do run very fast weekly runs (for a sub-3 anything around 6:30 approximates tempo / threshold pacing).
As Amuse said most of us use modified versions, all containing basic elements. I focus on mileage, and spend a lot of time running at specific endurance (90-105% MP). This is kind of Canova thinking, but Hudson / Daniels do this as well. Pfitz and Hanson would probably focus more on shorter and faster intervals (110% MP), but I don't enjoy that and get injured more quickly. So I cut those out, but suffer on the speed front. My 10K to HM paces don't relate at all to my MP, as I lack top speed. However, this style running works for my marathoning.
Finished my week. As mentioned did a cutback with 6x12.5miles or 75m in total. I liked these longer medium efforts. I ran specific (1) a progression with last 30min at 90-100%MP (quasi Hudson); (2) a tempo with 3x4km @ 5:55 pacing; (3) a canova style run with 30min @ 95 and 30min @ 97.5%MP or 6:26-6:14 pacing; and (4) hilly 12.5mile run (1100ft elevation). Others were easy. Next week go up to 90-100mile again. Work is not so busy (holidays), so might as well take advantage of the time.
Pablo- Man, your mile repeats from last week just blow my doors off.
cinnamon- My friend has run AFC before. It's his PR, but from 3 years ago. Who in the heck is running with a parachute on the track??
Run-in-HK- Even your down weeks are solid.
M- 7mi@6:56 (easy + strides)
W- 8mi@7:17
R- 11mi w/ 7@6:04 (steady state)
F- 7mi@7:33
Sat- 17.1mi@7:08
Total: 63.25 miles. I hope I'm not ramping back up too quickly. My piriformis was really tight this morning, so I rolled it out before running. Thursday's steady state felt like hell. I feel like I have no turnover when I'm actively using my glutes. Time to add hill sprints into the mix. Yesterday was 78% humidity for my long run... I'm not a fan!
During this morning's run I got attacked by a bird. I was running down the middle of a residential street and suddenly realized a bird was coming at me. I speed up, he comes at me again, and again. Thankfully with all my frantic defensive arm waving, no damage was done. At this point, we're a ways from the original dive and I'm wondering what the hell he's protecting. Then I see another bird of the same species doing the exact same thing to a crow up the street. Little bastards.

Antony is a coastal civil parish and a village in Cornwall, England. The parish had a population of 436 at the 2001 census. Apart from the church town, Antony, the only settlement of any size is Wilcove. Scraesdon Fort and Antony House are also in the parish.
The village is situated on the Rame Peninsula about three miles west of Torpoint.
Antony parish is bounded to the north by the tidal River Lynher (also known as the St Germans River) and to the south by the English Channel coast. To the east, the parish is bordered by Torpoint (which was part of the parish until 1904) and St. John parishes and to the west by Sheviock parish.
Antony was part of the St. Germans Rural District from 1894 until 1974.

The long wait for glory
The media's unexplainable passion for numbers has a way of obscuring even consideration for the deepest feelings of legions of fans. Yes, Inter last won a European Cup back in 1965; yes, the last time they were in a final was in 1972, when they did a poor job of impersonating an opponent against a beautiful Ajax side. But it could have been any length of time and it would have made little difference to the fans.
• Forum: How will the UCL final end?
• Lomas: The final countdown
• Bidwell: Inter duo with score to settle
• Adams: The Treble club
• Palmer speaks to Van Gaal
• Bidwell: Bayern pair in confident mood
For Inter supporters believe their club's status warrants the top European trophy every few years, so even a 10-year drought must seem unbearable. Of course, one can mention ten European sides whose followers harbour similar, anxious expectations, although at least a couple of them would do well to win a long-awaited national title first.
Reality, sadly, often throws itself in the path of such self-entitlement. Reality says no club is guaranteed a trophy unless it finds a way to either build patiently - a rarity today, when even fourth place in the league means you take out the champagne - or find the exact combination of one-year wonders, great coaching and a bit of luck.
As paradoxes go, pre-school kids may be able to yell: "I've been waiting 38 years for this", as the exquisite TV commercial by SkySports Italy reminded us at all hours this week, but its creators struck a nerve. In a time when it seems asking "what have you done for me lately?" takes too long to deserve a reply, perception of a trophy-drought gets blown up in such a way that even children may feel one year equals 38.
Since Inter knocked out Barcelona, the pendulum of judgement has swung between a focus on the here and now and a constant display of numbers linking this - er - history-making moment to whatever happened in the distant past, events so far removed from today you remember them in black-and-white.
The past is well known: Inter's last success in 1965 came under the stewardship of oil magnate Angelo Moratti, and son Massimo has been trying - at huge cost - to duplicate the feat ever since he purchased the club in 1995.
Having gone past the status of nationwide joke for their inability to sign the right players, hire the right coach and live down negative moments like the 1998 non-decision by referee Piero Ceccarini against Juventus or the last-day collapse in 2002, Inter have done a U-turn and have become villains in the eyes of many Italians soccer fans. Some are disturbed by their holier-than-thou attitude, which, if you paid attention throughout the years, is based on a lot of substance anyway; others, annoyed by Inter's domestic dominance, point to the 2006 Calciopoli scandal, rather than improved competence of general managers and coaches, as the only reason of their turnaround.
This attitude, fuelled by inane player comments like "we've won (so far) in spite of everything and everybody" (think what Chievo fans must feel then!), has created a friction between Inter supporters and those of other teams. Web chatter is no more glorified than watercooler conversation (only more accessible to everyone else), but the vitriol spewed between the two can sometimes be disturbing. All of this has meant there seems to be an ambivalent national disposition as the Champions League final approaches: using a very popular term, the 'haters' seem to be as many as the well-wishers.
And the latter seem to have taken the trip to Madrid as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In some ways, the exodus - yes, that's the operative word! - of Nerazzurri toward Spain has reminded many of a similar trip Milan fans undertook in 1989: back then, Milan were in their first European Cup final since 1969 and close to 70,000 travelled to Barcelona, helped by the fact the Rossoneri's opponents, Steaua Bucherest, were never likely to carry a lot of fans with them because of the different political situation in Romania at that time.
This time, obviously, Inter fans won't be able to outnumber Bayern fans inside the Santiago Bernabeu, but the atmosphere among them since the Scudetto was taken care of, last Sunday, has been electric, with the predictable cries of unfairness over ticket distribution, a last-minute run for spare tickets, worries over the Icelandic volcano ash and possible disruption of air travel.
Their biggest worry, though, centres over Jose Mourinho. As everyone will know by now, the Inter coach is strongly tipped to leave for Real Madrid after the final. His ego may seem so inflated that the giant managers' pictures who regularly adorn Wembley stadium would appear to be actual size in his case, but the last couple of months have seen Mourinho's reputation among Inter fans skyrocket. Few can now remember that back in late October he was being accused of being unable to raise Inter's game in Europe, as the side had then gone winless for eight matches in the Champions League. Once this suspicion was swept away, Mourinho kept being in the news for almost everything he did or said, despite avoiding the media for most of the season.
His masterful handling of most situations he had himself created, sometimes as a response to barbs from an increasingly sceptical media, will be one of the legacies of the current season, especially if he leaves.
And of course, keeping in tone with most of Inter's story in the past couple of years, more focus on him this week means less on the players and on the tactics that will be seen on the Santiago Bernabeu's pitch, whose grass, as Milan's Pato put it, is "so good the ball seems to walk towards you".
Arjen Robben may have stirred a mini-pot of controversy by revealing the obvious - Chelsea's Mourinho were more concerned with winning than getting style points - but it is clear Inter's path through the knockout phases showed they can mix resilience, defensive organisation and the right moves going forward, just like a side hitting top form at the right moment would.
Bayern pose a different threat to Barcelona or Chelsea, of course. Mourinho's thorough preparation will have Inter ready for whatever his former boss, Louis Van Gaal, will have prepared, but the appeal of this - and other matches - comes from trying to pinpoint where the game-breaking move or goal will come from.
Even the way Inter line up will matter for little: while the 4-2-1-3 should be Mourinho's choice again, it can be flexible and versatile, as the Nerazzurri have shown this year. It must be remembered that once Thiago Motta was sent off at the Camp Nou, Inter did not send in a defender or midfielder, but rather chose to stay with three attack-minded players until the 67th minute. So being defensive, or rather organised, is more of a mental disposition than dependent on the identity of the players out there.
Goran Pandev, whose form and health had suffered since late March, seems favourite to man one of the wide attacking places. Mario Balotelli's chances of at least appearing in the match have increased in the past fortnight, though, and the mercurial, unpredictable striker's presence on the Bernabeu's pitch would add more spice to an already oversubscribed menu.

Ian, you are such a drama queen and such a bad lier. Plus, Tom laid out what you needed to do if you won reward and you failed to listen. What did the big shiny object totally take up your attention? I like Ian but this episode he drove me nuts. I truly hope he was playing Katie because if that performance with her was real, the boy is an emotional mess.
Katie, get over yourself. I hope you are gone next tribal council. Clearly you haven't been doing much as you still have body fat on you. I am amazed at how much that girl still weighs.
Jen, blah. She does nothing for me. She was lounging eye candy before this, now she is just this shadow figure. But then on the other hand, she was smart enough not to say much at TC.
Tom, ok I still love you. You aren't perfect but I still love you.
Cayrn. What was that? What in God's name was that about? Unless you truly decided you just wanted out of the game and wanted to go down in a flaming fashion, what were you thinking????

Burning issues
By {screen_name}Well, seems that oral fixation is going to be all the rage in Colorado this summer. Residents will get to sign, most likely anyway, petitions for ballot measures that would ban smoking and allow marijuana. Yup, in our utopian future, Coloradans can smoke, but not toke. Go figure. Unless, they're, like, too hungry or distracted to sign both petitions. On the other hand, maybe Ricky Williams will sign with the Broncos. For, like, a few bucks and, like, time to, like, hang out. And stuff. Like, really.

If you enjoy spending time outside in the sun, sunscreen is the best defense against skin cancer. Sunscreens use a combination of chemicals to stop the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching your skin.
UVA and UVB are two types of ultraviolet radiation that can damage your skin. UVB rays cause sunburns, while UVA rays can lead to wrinkles and sagging, and intensify the carcinogenic effects of UVB rays. A simple way to remember the types of sun rays is UVA stands for "aging," while UVB stands for "burns."
With so many different types of sunscreens available, finding the right one for your needs can be confusing. Here are some important facts to consider when selecting and applying sunscreen.
Sun Protection Factor (SPF) – This indicates a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB rays from damaging your skin, but does not account for UVA rays. The SPF number represents the amount of time it takes for your skin to redden, multiplied by the SPF number. If you burn after 10 minutes, SPF 10 means it will take 100 minutes for you to burn.
However, it can be difficult to gauge how long it takes for your skin to burn, and the true goal is to avoid burning all together. Therefore, dermatologists recommend sticking with an SPF of 15 or higher for appropriate sun protection. To protect against UVA rays, look for the following additional phrases on sunscreen bottles: multi spectrum, broad spectrum or UVA/UVB protection.
