What are the benefits of membership?
I have 2 kiddos. A little boy who is 3 and a little girl who is 1. My little girl just started walking around thanksgiving and ever since i have had complete trouble out of him. I need some advice on how to deal with the way he is acting out... he is throwing temper tantrums, talking back, not wanting to go to the potty... he is staying in trouble. Any ideas on how to deal with him and what i should do disipline wise with him?
Do you have any idea what exactly has triggered him to act out so? Do you think this is a direct response to your daughter walking? If so, what about this might be causing him so much distress?
So far as dealing with difficult behavior i think that being consistent is the first thing. You want to make sure that all adults in the house are consistent with him about what is ok and what is not ok, as well as how they deal with the not ok behavior. The next thing is to try to act out of positive reinforcement as much as possible. Anytime the kiddos are doing what they are supposed to make positive reinforcing statements. Also sticker chart systems or a system of checks can be a great reinforcer. Then for poor behavior time outs with one minute per year of age is appropriate. Then when they are done with time out back to positively reinforcing any good behavior is the way to go. You might look up "Love and Logic Parenting" for more guidance.
While it is natural for many 3 year olds to go through a "difficult" phase, there may be something more going on. Start by taking a look at your child's diet and his sleep routine. Many children do not get adequate sleep and therefore begin to act out---especially when they are tired. Also, look at his diet. Is it full of fresh fruits and veggies or is it full of preservatives and chemicals. Sometimes those preservatives cause children to display behavioral problems. It is a start, but definitely something to look into.

Pray, what could be better than a pub on a Cornish beach? A pub on a Blue Flag Cornish beach, perhaps, in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? And with a pitch to stagger back to a short stroll from the sands?
Campers at Higher Pentreath Farm Camp Site will be happy to know they're less than five minutes' walk from that Blue Flag beach, as the site overlooks the gorgeous mile-long stretch of Praa Sands between Penzance and Helston on Cornwall's south coast. It's a spacious park that's been family-run since the 1960s and the committed team prides itself on keeping guests relaxed – probably not too difficult on a park overlooking Praa Sands…
Higher Pentreath has pitches for tents, tourers and motorhomes, space aplenty for pipsqueaks to run around, and a shop on site for basics (and ice cream). Facilities include a loo and shower block with free hairdryer, washing machine (small charge applies), covered washing up area, phone and laptop charging at reception, and ice pack freezing or supplying. There's a garage half a mile away and a 24-hour Tesco within ten minutes' drive.
As for the pub on the beach? It's the Sandbar, with home-cooked Mediterranean-style meals, Sunday carvery, food theme nights and regular music nights; there's even free wifi so you can have a Cornish surf.

Martha Stewart LivingBy Laura House
Megan Shuler and Emily Read Bentley were a creative match made on Twitter. After admiring each other's inspiring work in the virtual world, the two teamed up last January to form the Bay Area's Enjoy Events Co.
While weddings are their specialty, the duo puts their fresh, inventive, and handmade spin on everything from birthday bashes to showers. No matter the occasion, they love turning a good party into an epic one.
Just before the holiday party season hits full swing, we asked them for five ways to think beyond the traditional yuletide party or cookie swap.
1. Create a crafty reason to get together over the holidays.
Slow down during the busy holiday season with a leisurely (and useful) craft night with your friends. Pull together leftover ribbon, wrapping paper, scrap materials, and paint to assemble unique centerpiece containers. Or, create one-of-a-kind gift tags out of colorful paper, fabric, and yarn.
Plus: Holiday Crafts That Shine
2. Ditch traditional Christmas colors.
Who says everything needs to be dark green and red? Not us! Use aquas, yellows, and various shades of green. It's easy to make a stencil and paint on canvas or even an old tablecloth. Your guests will be commenting all night on where you found it or how to make it.
Plus: Make Your Own Metallic Table Toppers
3. Turn your centerpiece inside out.
Like your table settings, your floral arrangements don't need to be the same old thing either. Place air plants, succulents, moss, or other sturdy plants inside of a container or bottle for your holiday table. Remember; bunched together is best. Or, fill terrarium containers with festive confetti, cranberries, or sprigs of rosemary.
Plus: Winter Centerpiece Ideas
4. Photo booths aren't just for weddings.
The last thing a host wants to worry about is capturing the evening by running around with a camera. Set up a take-it-yourself photo booth with Polaroid cameras and let your guests have at it. Hang a backdrop, gather some old props, make a little sign, and let the fun begin.
Martha Stewart Living
5. Combine dessert and after dinner drinks.
Make it easy on yourself with a two-in-one dessert! Set up a bar table with the tools for your guests to create root beer floats with Peppermint Schnapps or Grand Marnier. Add mini holiday-inspired donuts to your Irish coffee for that festive feel. Things are way better in twos, and this way you get to enjoy the party with your guests instead of being stuck behind the bar or in the kitchen.

Would You EVER Let Your Guy Pick Out Your Clothes? I Did, for a Week!
As you might know, over at Beauty Riot we're no strangers to dares. We've been dared to wear a different hairstyle every day for a month (uh, twice actually, so thank gosh I had this helpful guide to help me with hairstyle ideas), 30 days of different makeup looks; we even gave up shampoo for a week. But this latest dare takes the cake.
After reading a Shine post that featured husbands picking out an outfit for their wives, we got to thinking. Sure, a guy could probably pick out a decent outfit from a pre-screened selection of clothes once, but could he do it with a regular girl's closet (that hasn't been cleaned out in years, eep!) for a week? And so, our next dare was born.
The victim: me (and depending on your viewpoint, my boyfriend). The challenge: Let my boyfriend choose my head-to-toe outfit every day for a week. The results: ummmm ... you'll have to see for yourself.
Want to be in the loop on all our upcoming "beauty dares"? Just like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. (Spoiler alert: next dare involves putting on your makeup in the dark -- literally.)

I got an email from The Devil a few weeks ago.
It reads:
"I know what you are doing.
Your anxiety will never be cured. It is a punishment.
You are going to hell soon by the way.
Enjoy your day."
~The Devil
(I kid you not, I can't make this stuff up on my best day).
Blissfully, thankfully and blessedly the overwhelming majority of correspondence I get is of a positive nature. That estimate might have something to do with my outlook. For example, I rather think this is a highly positive email. I mean, to be on The Devil's radar must mean I'm shaking some trees in the Other-Realms. Cool.
Also, somehow I take comfort that The Devil knows what I'm doing. I certainly don't know half the time.
As for anxiety, I don't want a cure. To explain, 90% of my anxiety comes from self-pressure devoted to doing the "right thing," like behaving and acting in ways that honor my parents, my husband, my community, the collective consciousness, and of course, the Mother (Earth). It's not always easy to take the high road, and sometimes the moral path feels like punishment, but I'll take it for a clear conscience.
And in my travels through life, I'm quite sure I've already got "Hell" stamped in my passport. Been there, done that, didn't bother with the t-shirt.
The point to all this cheekiness is the importance of perception and levity.
Perception is always a biggie. I'd like this post to stand as a reminder of how important it is to shift around to alternative points of view. It's important to look at scenarios from different angles; it's healthy too. This is a huge factor as to why I dig symbolism so much – there are so many perspectives, sources and implications to consider. Delightfully shifty.
As far as levity goes…I've been learning valuable lessons about humor lately, and this email is a welcome contribution to the curriculum. To quote a friend of mine: "If you've lost your sense of humor, you've lost everything." Too right.

Review: 50/50
It seems strange how we have hundreds of horror movies that deal with zombies, serial murderers and sadists but there are no horror films about the most prolific killer of them all: cancer. Over half a million people die of cancer every year in America alone, whereas Zombies have so far failed to rack up even a single fatality in real life. Our point is this: cancer is something that has affected the majority of people, whether it's first-hand or through a friend or family member has had to deal with, yet movies too often seem incapable of dealing with the matter. The subject is so grim that to deal with it honestly feels taboo but failing to acknowledge its severity is crass. Even in this age of ironic detachment and non-PC Frankie Boyle routines, movies about The Big C still have to walk one hell of a tightrope.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a young journalist whose life grinds to a halt when he is diagnosed with an exotic form of spinal cancer. We follow him as he breaks the news to his girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard), his best mate and colleague (Seth Rogen) and his mother (Anjelica Huston) and we get to see those relationships shift and morph as he proceeds with his treatment and considers the possibility he might die. His girlfriend initially promises to stay with him but the way their relationship plays out is understandable but tough to swallow.
The screenplay is written by Will Reiser, who based the story on his own experience with cancer. A television writer whose credits include Ali G's HBO show, Reiser brings not only a deep personal understanding of the character's situation, but enough perspective and clarity to realise that humour and terminal illness are not mutually exclusive. The structure of Reiser's script gives 50/50 the rhythm of a comedy and there are funny scenes where Rogen and Gordon-Levitt try to use his cancer to pick up girls at a bar. The humour feels like it comes from a place of truth, and it stops the movie from becoming unbearably bleak or depressing.
The is acting is strong without being showy; with Bryce Dallas Howard, in particular, delivering on a role that could easily have been played unsympathetically. Joseph Gordon-Levitt continues to prove his leading man cred while Rogen demonstrates once more that his stoner persona can be an incredibly versatile tool.
Don't let the heavy subject matter put you off watching 50/50. It's an uplifting, well-observed, funny movie. But don't take our word for it: click here and watch it, already…

Want a free cab ride in New York City this weekend? Don't worry — it's not a scam. It's a very real offer. Just one fuzzy catch! You must love cats. And, you must love talking about how much you love cats.
And if you've ever met a kitty lover, you know that talking incessantly about Fluffy is never a problem!
"Cat Cabs," as they're known, are the brainchild of Purina. They'll be running through the weekend in New York City in key locations including Columbus Circle, Union Square, Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central, Bryant Park, Madison Square Park, Washington Square Park, and a local PetSmart.
"Every single cat out there has a unique wonderful story and we are saying tell it to us!" said Jennifer Sutton, host of "Cat Cab."
How will you know which one is the Cat Cab? It's bright blue and it has all kinds of cat-loving phrases all over it, including "Honk if you're a cat person!" on the bumper.
Honk! Honk! Honk!
This strange exchange system has been well received by New Yorkers. Some people have even gotten in the cabs when they live a block away because they wanted to talk about their cats! Others are Tweeting the locations of the Cat Cabs so that their friends won't be left out.
And, not ones to accept a closed door, four cats have even hopped in the cabs to join in the fun.
"I have been on two of those rides and if the cats are used to riding in cars it is great. One cat even went right on the front seat!" Sutton said.
The "Purina Cat Chow Real Stories Project Contest" was inspired by "Cash Cab,"the Discovery Channel show where passengers suddenly find a camera in the car and that they're instant contestants on a game show.
The stories people tell about their cats are videotaped and submitted to the contest. They have the chance to win one of five grand prizes ($5,000 and a year's supply of cat food) or be one of the five runners up who will receive $1,000 each and a one-year supply of cat food.
The contest is part of the Purina Cat Chow's new initative to tell real stories. Real owners showing off their cats can now be seen on TV, on the food packaging, and more. Bill Etling, director of Purina Cat Chow marketing and public relations said that the marketing team thought "Why not take it further and take it to the streets?!" A company called Show Media in New York has helped other companies in the past give out free rides, but never before in exchange for stories.
The best cat story that Sutton said she's overhead so far was a man who said one night, his cat kept batting his face when he was trying to sleep. He pushed him away but the cat wouldn't give up until he woke up. It turns out that a candle had set the house on fire and the cat saved his owner and his three roommates. "A lot of stories start with the cat person rescuing the cat from the shelter and the cat rescues them right back one day!" Sutton said.
Sorry, dog lovers but but this fiesta is for felines only. There are no plans to do doggie cabs — or to take the cabs to other cities. However, non-New Yorkers, thank your lucky Internets — you can still apply online at www.yourcatstory.com. The submission period ends on July 31st.
Etling said they are not ruling out bringing Cat Cabs to another city.
It is too soon to tell if this will create a boost in sales for Purina Cat Chow, but Sutton said they've gotten a lot of positive feedback to the promotion.
And why wouldn't they? If there's one thing people love more than their cats during a recession, it's keeping some scratch in their pawckets!
I can has cab ride? Kitty says LOL ...

GENERIC NAME: DRONABINOL - ORAL (dro-NAB-in-all)
BRAND NAME(S): Marinol
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. It is used when other drugs to control nausea and vomiting have not been successful. Dronabinol is also used to treat loss of appetite and weight loss in patients infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). Dronabinol (also called THC) is a man-made form of the active natural substance in marijuana.

If you are taking this medication to control nausea and vomiting, your dose is also based on your body size.Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often without your doctor's approval. Your risk of serious side effects may be increased. If you are taking dronabinol to stimulate appetite (for AIDS patients), do not take more than 20 milligrams per day unless approved by your doctor.This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as irritability, trouble sleeping, restlessness, hot flashes, and diarrhea) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.Although it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction/habit-forming).

Countering human trafficking: partnerships for protection and capacity-building
Date: 2 June 2008
Venue: United Nations Headquarters, New York
In view of the UN General Assembly's debate on the topic scheduled for 3 June, Third Committee deliberations, and this year's agenda of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) this seminar will offer experts' views on emerging issues linked to the global fight against human trafficking. It will also consider issues stemming from the Vienna Forum to Fight Human Trafficking, held on 13-15 February 2008, which launched the implementation phase of the Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (GIFT).
In all these fora, multiple perspectives on and approaches to tackling human trafficking continue to exist. Nevertheless, there is increasing recognition of the need to place the human rights of trafficked persons, particularly women and children, at the centre of all efforts. Still, interpretations of what constitutes a human-rights based approach to human trafficking vary, and implementation remains a challenge.

Co-Q10 (ubiquinol is the active best metabolised form) is a key component of Dr Sinatra's awesome foursome for improving heart metabolism. I have cardiomyopathy, and have taken 300mg/day of ubiquinol for 7 months now (also magnesium, and more recently L-carnitine fumerate and D Ribose) and the benefits have been substantial in terms of heart health and quality of life. (I did find that L carnitine gave me head aches so I stoped that) I have also noticed a number of other health issues have been resolved by the awesome foursome, prostate problems (now no problem peeing, full flow), skin blemishes gradually disapeared including age spots,skin softer and less dry, hair regrowth. And healthy origins price is the best.
Great Product

This should be a supplement for everyone. My skin appears much healthier and very noticeably smooth after taking Ubiquinol. I was constantly using lotion for dry skin and hands. This is no longer needed with Ubiquinol. I can imagine this supplement would save a lot of money for people buying expensive cosmetic creams and lotions if they knew about its results!
Ubiquinol has helped me!

This product is just vital for anyone with seious neurological or cadiac problems. If you have an illness like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis which involves BOTH, it is really essential. I can't recommand it highly enough for ME patients. This 200mg one is great value! I have severe M.E. This product, at 300mg daily, has taken me from a level of 5% functioning, up to 8%. That is a lot when you are so ill and housebound and 99% bedbound! Has also changed my sleep patterns massively.

I buy this for my 93 year old mother. All I know is that with this along with several other excellent iHerb products and tweaking her diet, my mother is out of a nursing home and living on her own in her home again. Your service is always excellent. (I use this, too.)

Respiratory disease
|Respiratory Disease
|Classification and external resources
Micrograph of an emphysematous lung; emphysema is a common respiratory disease, strongly associated with smoking. H&E stain.
Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms, and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura and pleural cavity, and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting, such as the common cold, to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and lung cancer.
The study of respiratory disease is known as pulmonology. A doctor who specializes in respiratory disease is known as a pulmonologist, a chest medicine specialist, a respiratory medicine specialist, a respirologist or a thoracic medicine specialist.
- 1 Classification
- 1.1 Inflammatory lung disease
- 1.2 Obstructive lung diseases
- 1.3 Restrictive lung diseases
- 1.4 Respiratory tract infections
- 1.5 Pleural cavity diseases
- 1.6 Pulmonary vascular disease
- 1.7 Neonatal diseases
- 2 Diagnosis
- 3 Epidemiology
- 4 References
Respiratory diseases can be classified in many different ways, including by the organ or tissue involved, by the type and pattern of associated signs and symptoms, or by the cause (etiology) of the disease.
Inflammatory lung disease[edit]
Characterized by a high neutrophil count, e.g. asthma, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder or acute respiratory distress syndrome.[1]
Obstructive lung diseases[edit]
Obstructive lung diseases are diseases of the lung where the airways (i.e. bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli) become reduced in volume or have free flow of gas impeded, making it more difficult to move air in and out of the lung.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)[edit]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema, is an example of an obstructive lung disease where the alveolae rupture, thus causing air to be retained in the lungs and hence limiting the available space during inhalation.
Asthma is an example of an obstructive lung disease (and of an inflammatory lung disease). It is a disease in which muscles of bronchi contract, making it difficult for air to reach the lungs. One treatment of asthma is to use an inhaler which contains a drug to relax muscles of bronchi. Asthma is a difficulty in breathing causing wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles, this causes a restriction in the airflow into the alveoli.
Asthma attacks can be brought on by triggers, such as air pollution, tobacco smoke, factory fumes, cleaning solvents, infections, pollens, dust, foods, cold air, exercise, chemicals and medications. Triggers are highly individual and may not be related to allergens. Many asthmatics are not allergic to common allergens such as mold.
Restrictive lung diseases[edit]
Restrictive lung diseases are a category of respiratory disease characterized by a loss of lung compliance,[2] causing incomplete lung expansion and increased lung stiffness, such as in infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Respiratory tract infections[edit]
Infections can affect any part of the respiratory system. They are traditionally divided into upper respiratory tract infections and lower respiratory tract infections.
Upper respiratory tract infection[edit]
The most common upper respiratory tract infection is the common cold. However, infections of specific organs of the upper respiratory tract such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, pharyngitis and laryngitis are also considered upper respiratory tract infections.
Lower respiratory tract infection[edit]
The most common lower respiratory tract infection is pneumonia, an infection of the lungs which is usually caused by bacteria, particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae in Western countries. Worldwide, tuberculosis is an important cause of pneumonia. Other pathogens such as viruses and fungi can cause pneumonia for example severe acute respiratory syndrome and pneumocystis pneumonia. A pneumonia may develop complications such as a lung abscess, a round cavity in the lung caused by the infection, or may spread to the pleural cavity.
Malignant tumors[edit]
Malignant tumors of the respiratory system, particularly primary carcinomas of the lung, are a major health problem responsible for 15% of all cancer diagnoses and 30% of all cancer deaths.The majority of respiratory system cancers are attributable to smoking tobacco.
The major histological types of respiratory system cancer are:
- Small cell lung cancer
- Non-small cell lung cancer
- Adenocarcinoma of the lung
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
- Large cell lung carcinoma
- Other lung cancers (carcinoid, Kaposi's sarcoma, melanoma)
- Lymphoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Pleural Mesothelioma, almost always caused by exposure to asbestos dust.
In addition, since many cancers spread via the bloodstream and the entire cardiac output passes through the lungs, it is common for cancer metastases to occur within the lung. Breast cancer may invade directly through local spread, and through lymph node metastases. After metastasis to the liver, colon cancer frequently metastasizes to the lung. Prostate cancer, germ cell cancer and renal cell carcinoma may also metastasize to the lung.
Treatment of respiratory system cancer depends on the type of cancer. Surgical removal of part of a lung (lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection) or of an entire lung pneumonectomy), along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are all used. The chance of surviving lung cancer depends on the cancer stage at the time the cancer is diagnosed, and to some extent on the histology, and is only about 14-17% overall. In the case of metastases to the lung, treatment can occasionally be curative but only in certain, rare circumstances.
Benign tumors[edit]
Benign tumors are relatively rare causes of respiratory disease. Examples of benign tumors are:
- Pulmonary hamartoma
- Congenital malformations such as pulmonary sequestration and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM).
Pleural cavity diseases[edit]
Pleural cavity diseases include pleural mesothelioma which are mentioned above.
A collection of fluid in the pleural cavity is known as a pleural effusion. This may be due to fluid shifting from the bloodstream into the pleural cavity due to conditions such as congestive heart failure and cirrhosis. It may also be due to inflammation of the pleura itself as can occur with infection, pulmonary embolus, tuberculosis, mesothelioma and other conditions.
A pneumothorax is a hole in the pleura covering the lung allowing air in the lung to escape into the pleural cavity. The affected lung "collapses" like a deflated balloon. A tension pneumothorax is a particularly severe form of this condition where the air in the pleural cavity cannot escape, so the pneumothorax keeps getting bigger until it compresses the heart and blood vessels, leading to a life threatening situation.
Pulmonary vascular disease[edit]
Pulmonary vascular diseases are conditions that affect the pulmonary circulation. Examples are:[citation needed]
- Pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that forms in a vein, breaks free, travels through the heart and lodges in the lungs (thromboembolism). Large pulmonary emboli are fatal, causing sudden death. A number of other substances can also embolise (travel through the blood stream) to the lungs but they are much more rare: fat embolism (particularly after bony injury), amniotic fluid embolism (with complications of labour and delivery), air embolism (iatrogenic - caused by invasive medical procedures).
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension, elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries. Most commonly it is idiopathic (i.e. of unknown cause) but it can be due to the effects of another disease, particularly COPD. This can lead to strain on the right side of the heart, a condition known as cor pulmonale.
- Pulmonary edema, leakage of fluid from capillaries of the lung into the alveoli (or air spaces). It is usually due to congestive heart failure.
- Pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation and damage to capillaries in the lung resulting in blood leaking into the alveoli. This may cause blood to be coughed up. Pulmonary hemorrhage can be due to auto-immune disorders such as Wegener's Granulomatosis and Goodpasture's syndrome.
Neonatal diseases[edit]
Pulmonary diseases may also impact newborns, such as pulmonary hyperplasia.
Respiratory diseases may be investigated by performing one or more of the following tests
- Chest x-ray
- Pulmonary function test
- Computed tomography scan
- Culture of microorganisms from secretions such as sputum
- Bronchoscopy
- Biopsy of the lung or pleura
- Ventilation - perfusion scan
- blood investigation
- Ultrasound scanning can be useful to detect fluid such as pleural effusion
Respiratory disease is a common and significant cause of illness and death around the world. In the US, approximately 1 billion "common colds" occur each year.[3] A study found that in 2010, there were approximately 6.8 million emergency department visits for respiratory disorders in the U.S. for patients under the age of 18.[4]
In the UK, approximately 1 in 7 individuals are affected by some form of chronic lung disease, most commonly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.[5]
Respiratory diseases (including lung cancer) are responsible for over 10% of hospitalizations and over 16% of deaths in Canada.[6]

I've done the Baja 500 and the Baja 1000, been to countless MDR, MORE, SCORE, CORR, and BITD off road races in the States, but never have I been to the Best in the Desert Vegas to Reno race. That is until now.
The 2008 Best in the Desert TSCO Vegas to Reno race was held on August 22nd & 23rd in Las Vegas Nevada. V2R as it is commonly referred too is touted as being "The longest off-road race in the United States" and at 456.5 miles it truly is. For this years V2R I was fortunate enough to be hooked up with a team campaigning a Class 8 race truck. A colleague of mine had set the whole thing up but due to a set of very unfortunate circumstances had to withdraw at the last minute. With the team planning on someone from Off-Road tagging along for the race I got the phone call to go. I gladly accepted the offer, got my race gear in order and headed out to meet the team.
Thursday August 21st 2008
Dark O'Clock, Thursday morning, I loaded up my gear and headed out to meet up with Chuck Foreman, driver and partner in the RWP Racing Maxxis Ford F-150 I was going to be racing with. I met up with Chuck and we all piled into his co-driver Carl's mighty chase Tundra and headed out to meet up with the rest of the team at the South Point hotel in Las Vegas for tech inspection and registration. After a short jaunt up the 15 we arrived in Las Vegas where we quickly set to work finding Rich Waite and the race truck. Rich was smart and was finishing up registering for the race just as we were arriving so while Chuck, Carl and I went to register Rich took the truck and got in line for tech inspection.
I will say one thing for BITD, they are very organized, very very organized, which made it really surprising when we got to the ballroom where registration was taking place only to see a line wrapped around the room and down out into the hall! Oh well, gotta do what you gotta do right so we waited, and waited, and then waited some more. After what was probably a solid two hour wait we finally get to the front of the line, the three of use signed our lives away, got our wrist bands and headed out to the parking lot to see how things were going in Tech inspection with Rich and the race truck.
Much to our surprise just as we got to the parking lot where tech inspection was going on Rich and the race truck had just finished and were pulling out. Awesome, we didn't have to stand in the sun, it was time for a long over due lunch, back to the casino! After lunch we headed back out to the truck where the crew was working out some last minute issues, nothing big, just charging shocks and working on the radio system. After a quick run down on how the truck worked, the switches and gauges for Carl and I (the two new co-drivers) it was time for a quick team meeting to work out last minute pit strategy.
From a logistical stand point this type of race, point to point, is a nightmare. So like any good team would do we all sat down the night before the race and planned out our pit stops. With a skeleton crew we had to make every truck matter. Chuck and Rich dug right in to the planning while we all watched, listened, and offered advice where we could. The way BITD had the pits laid out made it easy for us to get our meger crew to points they needed to be at with the right amount of tools and fuel.
With everybody registered, the truck teched, last minute bugs worked out, and pit strategies planned we all hit the hay before what was going to be a long day of racing.

Due to Sweden, not participating in the war. They had exceptional runners at that time, in particular Hägg and Andersson. In 1945, for instance, there were 14 Swedish in the top 20 of 1500m.

Devils' Ilya Kovalchuk stuns NHL with retirement, sparks potential KHL drama
By Allan Muir
The New Jersey Devils have announced that forward Ilya Kovalchuk is retiring from the National Hockey League.
"This decision was something I have thought about for a long time going back to the lockout and spending the year in Russia," Kovalchuk said. "Though I decided to return this past season, Lou was aware of my desire to go back home and have my family there with me. The most difficult thing for me is to leave the New Jersey Devils, a great organization that I have a lot of respect for, and our fans that have been great to me."
New Jersey general manager Lou Lamoriello issued the following statement: "After many conversations with Ilya over the past year on his desire to retire from the National Hockey League, Ilya's decision became official today. On behalf of the entire organization, I wish Ilya and his family all the best in their future endeavors."
HACKEL: Devils paid high price for little from Kovalchuk
Kovalchuk, who was selected first overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, played 11 seasons in the NHL, including the last four with New Jersey. He retires with career totals of 417 goals and 399 assists for 816 points in 816 games.
Kovalchuk, 30, had 12 years remaining on the 15-year, $100-million deal he signed in 2010. By retiring, he walks away from $77 million.
MUIR: Twitter reactions to Kovalchuk's bombshell
The front-loaded construction of that deal ran afoul of the NHL's previous CBA, and led to the Devils being fined $3 million and two draft picks, including the team's first rounder in the 2014 draft.
According to a league source, Kovalchuk's retirement has no impact on that impending forfeiture.
The Devils also will face a cap recapture penalty because of the early retirement. It's believed that hit will be around $300,000 per year through the 2024-25 season.
Already, the careful wording of the official statements has sparked swirling speculation that Kovalchuk is not finished with hockey. Sources already are reporting that he will sign with SKA St. Petersburg of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, perhaps as soon as Friday.
If that's the case, he won't have to mourn the money he left on the table here. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period magazine tweeted that Kovalchuk was paid "upwards of $15 million" while playing in Russia during the NHL lockout. "IF he goes there, that's his likely salary," Pagnotta said.
Pavel Lysenkov of SovSport suggests the number could go even higher — perhaps as high as $20 million per season.
If it plays out this way, it will be interesting to see how this signing impacts the agreement between the NHL and KHL to honor the contractual obligations of players in each league.
It's worth noting that Kovalchuk and the Devils mutually terminated his contract, which frees him up to do anything he wants with the rest of his life, including signing on with a team in another league. But if all it takes to switch from one league to the other is "retirement," then the current agreement will be rendered meaningless. And the "Russian Factor" that once applied only to young players and prospects now paints a much broader stroke, covering every player, no matter his age, experience or contractual obligation.
Now, after years of being the poor relation, the KHL has to be regarded as a real threat to retain top regional talent. And every team that employs a Russian-born skater has to be wondering if its guy is next.
Reactionary? Hardly. Remember, the defection of a single superstar helped legitimize the World Hockey Association. When Bobby Hull ditched the Chicago Blackhawks for the Winnipeg Jets in 1972, his presence transformed the WHA from a halfway house for marginal players into a legitimate threat to the financial stability of the NHL.
The NHL's Russian players hold Kovalchuk in high regard. If he's willing to leave the NHL to play at home, it's only a matter of time before someone else takes his cue and follows him back to Mother Russia.
And it could be anyone.

Beretta Xtreme Ducker 2-in-1 Waterproof Jacket
Designed to battle the elements and hide you from your prey more effectively than any jacket on the market. The outer jacket shell is constructed of long-lasting, waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex extra protection. The inner detachable jacket is made of Gore Windstoper micro-ripstop fabric with Primaloft insulation to guarantee superior lightweight warmth. Spend hours in a blind and you will appreciate the fieldtested functionality of its easy access shell pockets, preformed elbows, Neoprene cuffs, fleece lined collar, underarm zip vents, removable hood and more. Gentle wash. Tumble dry low. Imported.Color: 0857)Gore Optifade Concealment Marsh Pattern.
Make yourself invisible with the most innovative, effective waterfowling camo ever!
OPTIFADE's micro pattern outperforms traditional camo by breaking the symmetry of the human shape to make the body less detectable and confuse the bird. OPTIFADE's breakthrough micro pattern addresses specifically how waterfowl see.
- Vertical pattern accounts for overhead engagement in motion. - Ideal at the most common position waterfowl encounter humans: 45o angle and 35 yards distance.- Optimized for a non-frontal engagement angle, since waterfowl see prey from any angle - Exploits the way waterfowl perceive colors and the positive vs. negative space in the environment to make the human shape blend into the background.
OPTIFADE's lighter colors and starker contrasts take into account the high-contrast environment (horizon line, water shimmer) and makes the hunter look invisible to the bird.
For the Best Fit…please use the following charts to determine your size when ordering.
Clothing Size Measurements (Measure your body)
Neck (men): Wrap tape around to the base of your neck in the front and allow extra room for comfort, or measure the collar length of your favorite shirt.
Chest/Breast: Wrap a tape measure evenly around the fullest part under the arms.
Waist: Wrap tape around your natural waistline, or where you actually wear your pants.
Hip: Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hip (approximately 7-8 "below the waist). Don't forget to keep tape level.
Inseam: Best taken from a pair of your own pants which you like length of when wearing. Measure along the garment inseam from the crotch seam to the hem.
Sleeve length: From center back of your neck with your arm slightly bent, follow the tape around to your wrist bone.
Shoulders: Wearing a shirt, measure from one seam to the other crossing the shoulders.
CAUTION: Whenever Ordering Women's Apparel "Made in Italy"
I bought this jacket for duck hunting in California. The lowest the Temperature gets here is high 30's. Its a really warm jacket and made of high quality materials. I would recommend this jacket to a friend.

Tsonga reaches last four in Stockholm
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga wasted little time claiming his place in the last four of the Stockholm Open, beating Sergiy Stakhovsky in straight sets.
The top-seeded Frenchman could only convert three of 13 break point opportunities but that was enough to see him past his Ukrainian opponent 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 24 minutes.
Tsonga will next face seventh seed Marcos Baghdatis, who was on court for just five minutes longer in his 6-3 7-6 (7/4) quarter-final victory over Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania.
Second seed Tomas Berdych was another straight-sets winner in his last-eight match-up, the Czech having to work hard to beat Mikhail Youzhny 6-3 7-6 (7/2).
Berdych's semi-final opponent will be third seed Nicolas Almagro, who took just 66 minutes to record a 6-1 6-4 victory over former world number one Lleyton Hewitt 6-1 6-4.

Clark Gala Brings the Pleasures of Paris to the Berkshires January 31
For Immediate Release
January 09, 2009
The Pleasures of Paris Winter Gala on Saturday, January 31, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute celebrates Paris, one of Europe's most enchanting cities, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, one of France's most well-known artists. Offering a feast for the senses from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, this fun-filled evening with a European flair promises fantastic food and wine, music, and a preview of Toulouse-Lautrec and Paris. Tickets are $55 ($45 per member). RSVP by January 21 to 413-458-0524 or online at clarkart.edu.
Step out into the Parisian nightlife of the late nineteenth century and stroll the streets of Paris. Berkshire resident Kathryn Anderson will lure dancers to the floor with jazz and French songs. Originally trained in classical piano, Anderson discovered her true passion as a jazz singer. She lived and worked in Paris and has performed with the Cantilena Chamber Choir.
Strolling among guests, Robert Rivest will perform traditional street mime. A student of Marcel Marceau, Rivest trained for over ten years with internationally renowned masters of mime, dance, theater, and improvisation. Along with his training in Paris and New York City, he received his BA from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.
Delicious hors d'oeuvres will give you a taste of Parisian favorites including brandade d'haricots (bean, garlic, and artichoke spread with crostini), pissaladiere (French pizza bread with olives and herbs), crostini with tapenade and chevre, and thon a l'aioli (grilled tuna with aioli), moules farcie (mussels with garlic, parsley, and bread crumb topping), courgettes farcie (stuffed zucchini), smoked trout on sourdough crostini with horseradish sauce, and seared beef skewers with béarnaise and green peppercorn sauce. Delectable desserts include pear almond and strawberry tartelettes and profiteroles with chocolate mousse filling. Complimentary French chardonnay and merlot, along with sparking and bottled water will be available.
Toulouse-Lautrec and Paris, an exhibition of over eighty remarkable oil paintings, posters, photographs, drawings, and lithographs, marks the first time in over fifteen years that the Clark will show nearly its entire extraordinary collection of works by the great French painter and printmaker Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901). Toulouse-Lautrec and Paris will revel in Montmartre's raucous streets, cabarets, theaters, and circuses—venues frequented by modern artists seeking inspiration from the world of entertainment at the turn of the century. The exhibition will showcase Toulouse-Lautrec's magnificent capacity for both quiet intimacy and theatrical flair in a variety of media. Toulouse-Lautrec and Paris will be on view February 1 through April 26, 2009.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November 1 through May 31. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012
5:30 pm
Clark Fellow Nicola Courtright is Professor in the Department of Art and the History of Art at Amherst College, where she teaches the art and architecture of early modern Europe. Her research focuses on how different forms of art help to formulate political expression in a rich and imaginative way that texts cannot. In this lecture, she examines ideologies of rule for early modern French queens through the art and architecture of French palaces.
