keli1: wonderful...I will check it out, I am on the site now after Margaret, lol Davis's came in abt. 1858 and left 1863
alt: Reno's were there in the 1850's ...Chatham Twp. I believe, they may have just known of each other, so few AA families in that area during that time period keli1
keli1: the librarian there is a genealogist and has helped with some of the research, but I think she has retired
alt: and some of the Reno's went to Michigan .. is it Hope in Barry Co, or Barry in Hope Co.? LOL LOL
keli1: yes, oh I am sure they did, they were in Westfield, I hope I can find the land to take a pic I have a friend in Chatham

alt: really, that's great.... I have an article where Joseph Reno was 'shot' in Chatham and later died at the American Hotel in Medina in the 1870's.

alt: your email .. I'll send you some Reno info
keli1: Thanks
AYWalton: Good morning, all.
alt: hello AYWalton .. hoe are ya?
AYWalton: Howdy alt, howdy keli1
keli1: Hi angela, glad to hear you are safe
AYWalton: had a hard time getting in, but finally made it. yes, thankfully all is well here. some limbs are down---but I shall not complain about that.
keli1: for sure...mother nature is a bit mad at us...
AYWalton: quite true, it sure seems so. alt are you going to the FGS conference in IL? Or is it a distance from you?
alt: No, that's a good distance away and the money is short AYWalton
keli1: that is the one in Springfield? I am ready for Ft. Wayne, I love the set up they have with the speakers....
AYWalton: yes, that's the one, keli1
alt: me too on Ft. Wayne keli1
AYWalton: Next year I think it will be in Ohio, or is that NGS? I get them confused sometimes. I think I mean NGS. FGS will be in Birmingham. Congratulations on being selected as a speaker, keli1!
keli1: yea NGS is in Cincinati May 2012,
AYWalton: what will your topic be?
keli1: thanks, it was a total surprise, remember we kind of chatted about that, but the topic kind of fits... following two AA families who migrated and stopped in Ohio, one before civil war and one after Going North, Stoppin in Ohio
AYWalton: Sounds like a good session, for sure.
alt: nice to see AA speaker at NGS and especially in Cincinnati.
keli1: it will be really about their movement and the records found, questions asked. I think the Ohio link is what did it for sure so true @alt
alt: yeah keli1, it is often overlooked that Ohio was one of the major migration routes following the NW territory and statehood in 1803.
AYWalton: That is a good point, alt.
alt: it was the first State added since the 1792 after Ky was split from VA.
keli1: for sure, not just the underground rail road, mine were not on it, in my research there were three major migration routes, it is quite interesting and why Ohio??
AYWalton: Ohio has a rich history, indeed!
alt: racist, but rich LOL
keli1: well they all are racist---Virginia, lol
AYWalton: well that is America's history as well.
alt: and the LOL doesn't mean funny
keli1: I agree, it is a yelling mode
AYWalton: I hear that, for sure!
alt: statehood in 1803 and Black Codes passed in 1804 to 'control' the influx of Blacks.
keli1: I wonder if they really have the numbers of folks that actually went thru Ohio on north, etc
AYWalton: 104 years later Oklahoma joined the Union and the first law enacted was the separation of the races---Jim Crow was crowned king, so to speak. America's tradition carried forth.
alt: oh yeah keli1... big numbers, going north to MI and Canada and west to IN, IL and other States that were formed out of the NW territory
keli1: and still carries forth
AYWalton: And 104 years later also in Oklahoma, the Cherokee nation expels the descendants of their slaves---so nothing new under the sun.
alt: yep AYWalton, same old devil, just dressed in modern clothes.
keli1: but so interesting....my Davis brought land and then turned around and sold 5 yrs later, left Ohio and homesteaded 160 acres in Mi he came with 1,000 in 1858
AYWalton: History is amazing for sure. I often think about those migration experiences----travel in the 19th century had to be a grueling experience.
keli1: as it repeats itself, is even more amazing, folks still making same mistakes, etc oh my gosh Ay, the women and kids, horrible, women followed their men
alt: that's waht I was speaking of keli1 when BBennett was talking about the Homestead Act of 1863... there were AA's in the north taking advantage of it... I mentioned your family.
AYWalton: and we have no clue about how they did ordinary tasks---cooked, washed (in cold water) slept---on straw beds, and shelter. When you were traveling on a wagon train the canopy was cloth, so they had to leak.
keli1: for sure, I located the deeds, etc, I would of never known they lived in Wayne Co for a minute before buying the family..
alt: lots of Timberland in MI was settled by AA's.
keli1: I sat thru a webinar and the guest talked on the homestead act of 1862, it was interesting,
AYWalton: I have read that, alt. There were several Afr. Am settlements in Michigan, I understand.
keli1: yea he went up to Benzie Co. MI
AYWalton: I wish there was more written about life on the frontier---all directions---as the frontier (in my mind) was basically new land being settled, whether midwest or far west.
alt: yep AYWalton
keli1: for sure, but this is where it starts
AYWalton: oh yes, for sure, keli1 Selma would love you, as her mantra is---all roads lead to Virginia. which is probably true.
alt: and black folk, or people of color, were involved in all of those movements.
keli1: lol....all roads lead out of VA too
AYWalton: oh yes, indeed. Selma recently found a group of blacks who were sent to VA to work, right after the Civil War. Several hundred. the Freedman's Bureau assisted them. Now the question is-----the researcher might be thrown off course by finding them in 1870, seeing VA as the birthplace and assuming that they were brought there by slavery. Which will not have been the case.
alt: keli1, didn't you also have folks who were in the coal mining movement to Buxton, Iowa?
keli1: all mine is prior too, lol, and I agree
AYWalton: some were from Alexandria area. Buxton---wasn't that one of the destination settlement of the Exodusters?
keli1: yes, another side of the family, that's on my dad's side
AYWalton: rich frontier history that you have, keli1! that is great!
alt: Not sure AYWalton, I always connected the Exodustors to Kansas.
keli1: what is interesting they died in Iowa in around 1910, no death record so far, it is driving me crazy
AYWalton: True, but I also use the term generically in reference to the westward, post Civil War movement, as well. deaths were probably not required to be kept at that time.
keli1: we all have the stories, just need to get them told
AYWalton: Folks just died and were buried. I agree with that.
alt: keli1, some of those Reno's went to Iowa City from Medina, OH and one even made it to Yolo county near Sacramento, CA by 1870.
keli1: really, hmmm...it was Giles that left Illinois and then on to Buxton the wife is my great grandmother Nellie McCorkle, b. in Greene Co. TN, second marriage to Henry Giles went out west...wow, after gold?
alt: The Reno's, talk about migration, they came into Ohio .. Champaign Co. from Ontario, Canada ca 1795-1805,,, then they spread out all over the place.
AYWalton: well folks I am going to run, have projects to work on and a Power Point to finish! Have a great day. Hope you attend the webinar on Wednesday! have a great one.
keli1: lol, mine left Ohio and settle in Michigan and no one left...coming forward was easy, I am going too, good chatting with ya
alt: okay keli1 , later


text: Japan coach Masayosi Manabe:"It was an important match for us. The players concentrated very well and put on a good performance. I think they did well against Neslihan Darnel. She can attack from the left, from the right, from the back – everything about her is good, and she spikes in between blocks. She has great technique in addition to her power. We tried to block her and tried to receive the ball as a team."I think Yukiko Ebata did very well today. Her spikes were going very well and I think that's why Yoshie Takeshita used her so often today. They were handling Kaori Inoue's spikes, so I changed to Erika Araki (after losing the second set) because she can block spikes."Japan player Yukiko Ebata:"We couldn't afford to lose today, so we're really happy with the win. I had a lot of second-hand sets (not from setter Yoshie Takeshita) and tried to spike hard and my spiking worked well. I tried not to think about it, but in the end I had a wonderful birthday."Japan captain Erika Araki:"I'm happy to win today. I tend to get on the court when the team isn't doing so well, so I have to concentrate on that."Turkey coach Mehmet Bedestenlioglu:"First, I want to congratulate Japan, they put on an excellent performance today. We had errors in reception and we know they have a good defence and we couldn't match that. They also play a very fast attack, and when we served better our defence wasn't good. I'm sorry about this result, but it's not the end of everything and we will continue to try and do our best."Turkey player Neslihan Darnel:"It was a very bad today for us. We played so badly. We did nothing. Japan has such a different style, they play very fast. We lost and we are very unhappy. I don't know (why Turkey's winning second set was different from the other three), we just stopped playing. Really, I don't know. What can I say?"Yukiko Ebata played very well. Our tactics were to stop 12 (Saori Kimura) and 14 (Ebata), but we couldn't stop them. After this, we have to start again for our next match against Poland. We have to beat them to continue trying to reach our goal."

CloudLinux Inc., a software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, has announced that VPS.NET, a leader in the cloud hosting arena, will begin to offer CloudLinux as one of its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) on all of its VPS cloud offerings. VPS.NET is an elastic cloud hosting provider offering instant scalable Virtual Private Server (VPS) solutions.
"VPS.NET customers want full control and flexibility from their cloud solutions," said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of UK2 Group, parent company to VPS.NET. '"CloudLinux provides our clients another way to have full control over their hosted environments, adding new levels of server stability and performance which is so critical to our growing client base."
By leveraging its Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) technology, the CloudLinux OS allows VPS.NET to deliver increased performance and flexibility to its suite of secure cloud service offerings.
VPS.NET is a Virtual Private Server Cloud solution provider that works by allocating a partitioned portion of a physical server, then breaking its infrastructure into "nodes," or blocks of resources (376 MB of RAM, 10 GB storage, 250 GB transfer, and 600 Mhz CPU share) that can be pooled together in various ways to create custom virtual machines.
The CloudLinux OS Lightweight Virtual Environment is a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. With LVE, administrators control'the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server. While similar in approach to container virtualization, LVE is lightweight and transparent. The LVE level fair-share CPU scheduler makes sure that each account gets enough CPU resources to run efficiently.

Suds is a feel good musical about Cindy, the attendant at the Wash-O-Rama, who meets three guardian angels that want to teach her lessons about life and love. Follow the advice of the angels through classic hits such as "I Will Follow Him," "It's My Party," "Please Mr. Postman," "Respect," "Wishin' and Hopin,'" and "Secret Agent Man." Find out what Cindy will do as she faces a birthday party without a boyfriend in sight and what happens if Cindy actually does meet Mr. Right!

She first appeared on HSRT's stage as Gwendolyn in The Importance of Being Earnest and then as Lily in The Secret Garden. Since then, Gail has had success on stage and on camera. Recent theatre credits include Comedy of Errors with Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Lend Me A Tenor at Theatre At The Center, and Shear Madness at The Chicago Theatre. Gail also acts with The Shakespeare Project of Chicago performing staged readings of classical works free to the public at the Newberry Library.
Kelly Sina, playing Deedee, the youngest guardian angel, is a 2008 HopeCollege graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in musical theatre.

Culture clash
Paella, sushi and pizza are world-famous favorites. But just how much do the versions we know have in common with the originals?
Only for foreigners
Best with shellfish? Not if you're eating paella in its native region of Valencia, Spain, where it's usually made with chicken, duck and rabbit. For the locals, the seafood version favored by visitors is "tourist paella."
Finger-licking authentic
Eat sushi rolls with chopsticks? Only Westerners would do such a thing. To the Japanese, their national dish is fingerfood. And in the better restaurants, they wouldn't dream of spicing them up with wasabi paste – they leave that to the sushi master.
Less is more
Chillies, peperoni, mushrooms? They have no place on a pizza according to the guardians of tradition in its birthplace, Naples, Italy. Only tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, basil, mozzarella and garlic are permitted.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum
Age: 10+
Dorothy is a 10 year old orphan who lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry in a small town in Kansas. One day, a terrible tornado strikes her home and whisks her, and her pup Toto into the brand new world of Oz. Once in Oz, Dorothy is introduced to a number of different creatures including, but not limited to: the Tinman, the Scarecrow, and a cowardly lion, as she tries to find her way back home to Kansas.
Believe it or not, this is my first time reading this book. I've seen the movie with Judy Garland a number of times since my childhood, but I've never actually picked up the book before now. Reading this book, I had few references floating through my head. I kept thinking about the movie, and I also kept thinking of Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
Since I had the movie in my head, I picked up on a few major differences between the book and movie. For one, in the book Dorothy has silver shoes not the ruby red you see in the technicolor movie. The movie also added extra characters in Dorothy's life in Kansas. In the book, we start immediately with the tornado that takes Dorothy to Oz.
I think what I like the most about Baum's writing was that it reminded me of my favorite contemporary children's authors. I could see snippets of Roald Dahl books (the orphan child goes on an adventure) and Neil Gaiman's books (strange creatures in strange new worlds) in this book. Baum was a very influential author to have created a world like Oz with all its inhabitants. He went on to write about 13 sequels to the Wizard of Oz, most of which have at some point been transformed into a movie.
This book was also read for the Read, Remember, Recommend Challenge hosted by Bibliobabe.The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank L Baum published 1900 ISBN 9780141321028 187 pages

The Seminole Pride Beef brand puts the pride back in raising Florida cattle
The Florida beef industry has received a bad reputation over the years as not having cattle that will meet the quality demands of today's grid marketing system. But the Seminole Tribe of Florida is aiming to change those perceptions through a branded beef program called Seminole Pride Beef.
Each year 800,000 head of cattle leave the Sunshine State and head west to feedlots where they often lose their identity. Rather than being seen as Florida cattle, these fed steers and heifers are just viewed as any other commodity type cattle.
Alex Johns
Alex Johns, natural resource director for the Seminole Tribe, says critics claim the infrastructure is just not in Florida to feed cattle. "We're trying to prove them wrong, and at the same time we're not growing a commodity product," he says.
Built on heritage. Seminole Pride Beef started in June 2013 as a program to help market some of the calves born from the nearly 14,000 cows tribe members own. It took more than nine years to put together the program.
"We launched it, and it went over like hot cakes," Johns says. The tribe couldn't meet the demand with just their own cattle, so it was opened up to local ranchers whose cattle met the company quality specifications.
"We want this to be a Florida program," Johns adds.
This branded beef initiative is nearly a necessity for Florida cattlemen because of the prospect of being squeezed out of the state by environmental concerns, Johns adds. Florida's tourism industry attracts people because of the sandy beaches and condominiums, but many of those travelers and residents think cattle have contaminated the water.
Seminole Pride Beef helps tell a different story to potential consumers. For instance, the Seminole Tribe has been caring for cattle since 1521 when the Conquistadors brought livestock from Spain. Natives maintained those herds that later developed into the Florida Cracker breed, which shares a similar heritage as the Texas Longhorn.
Seminoles continued raising cattle despite wars with the U.S. that would have pushed them to reservations in Oklahoma. Later, as the Dust Bowl hit, a herd of Hereford cattle from a droughted-out Oklahoma reservation became the foundation for the modern tribal herds. Today the majority of the Seminole herd is Brangus-influenced.
"It is going to take all Florida cattle producers participating in this to get that story told," Johns says.
Don Quincey
Infrastructure grows. Besides finding cow-calf producers to participate in Seminole Pride, there also had to be a feeding operation within the state. A partnership was formed with Quincey Cattle Co. in Chiefland, Fla., where there were 3,000 head marketed last year. This year Don Quincey expects to feed 8,000 head for Seminole Pride and is optimistic that he will be feeding 15,000 cattle next year.
A few years ago Quincey wouldn't have dreamed of seeing those kinds of numbers going through his former backgrounding operation. "I'd have said absolutely not," he adds.
In the past five years the landscape has changed drastically. Corn is now being produced in the Florida Panhandle as a rotation crop for peanut growers, which has helped reduce the cost of feed.
"We didn't have a packer that would kill fat cattle in Florida," Quincey adds. Central Beef Industries in Center Hill, Fla., specialized in processing cows for more than 50 years but saw an opportunity in 2012 to move into fed cattle processing.
"Then all of a sudden our three-legged stool started to make a little more sense. We had our packer; we got local corn. The third leg of that stool is energy costs, which don't seem to be going down," Quincey says.
In order to transport weaned calves from Florida to the High Plains feedlots of Kansas and Texas, it cost anywhere from $60 to $80 per head. But a recent group of Seminole Tribe calves that were fed by Quincey gained 3.6 lb. per day. Steers graded 81% Choice or better, while the heifers were 83% Choice or better. The costs of gains were comparable to a feedyard in Kansas.
"We have a consumer today that likes to know where their food comes from. They like to hear that story," Quincey says. "I believe as we go forward we will see this continue to grow."
Meet the consumer. Cheney Brothers, a Florida-based food distributor, is getting Seminole Pride into more than 100 different restaurants in the state. There has also been interest from customers in Georgia, as well.
Seminole Pride Beef is just one of a number of consumer products the tribe markets including bottled water, citrus juice, fruits and vegetables.
A unique aspect to the Seminole Tribe's business is the ownership of 153 Hard Rock Cafes in 49 countries. If the tribe wanted to just send beef to those restaurants, they could meet their demands. But to help build the Seminole Pride brand, the focus will be on local restaurants and eventually supermarkets.
The Seminole Tribe already has a lot of brand equity in grocery stores because of established products such as citrus juice, bottled water, fruits and vegetables.
In building up the various business entities, including casinos, the tribe has never lost focus on what started their success, Johns adds.
"We're cattle people—ag people," he explains. "We happen to be very successful with the casino business today, but cattle allow us to do that. We try not to forget it and educate our youth on where we come from. You can't eat a slot machine, but you can always eat a cow. A slot machine can spit money out at you, and a cow can too."
If you want to look at the picture of sustainability, he adds, look at what cows have done for the Seminole tribe. "We've been in the cow business for 500 years; something is working right," he says.
The state of the cattle industry overall won't change because of a program like this, he adds, but it can be a niche market that helps bring more income to producers.
"We are trying to utilize local businesses to bring a local product to the market place," Johns says. "We know that we produce a good product. We're just trying to showcase it."

Potential criminal charges against former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson stemming from a recent Bolingbrook Police Department internal investigation are unlikely, the Will County State's Attorney said Tuesday.
Potential criminal charges against former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson stemming from a recent Bolingbrook Police Department internal investigation are unlikely, the Will County State's Attorney said Tuesday.
According to Chuck Pelkie, spokesman for Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, "There have been discussions (between Glasgow and Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury) but at this time the information passed on to us does not warrant criminal charges."
Last week the Bolingbrook Police Department — which had conducted its own internal investigation into Peterson's on-duty performance — issued information to the state's attorney's office to see if criminal charges could be placed against Peterson.
Prior to submitting information to the state's attorney, the Bolingbrook Police Department had submitted the same information to the Bolingbrook Fire and Police Board in an attempt to have disciplinary action taken against Peterson.
But on Nov. 20 the board accepted Peterson's resignation and took no further disciplinary action.
Peterson, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department, tendered a letter of resignation Nov. 12, and the board's attorney said once Peterson resigned the board no longer had authority to take disciplinary action.
The department's internal investigation focused on violations of Police Department policies and procedures and had nothing to do with the Stacy Peterson or Kathleen Savio cases, said Lt. Ken Teppel, spokesman for the Bolingbrook Police Department.
The Police Department said it had gathered enough information on Peterson's on-duty performance the last 12 months to warrant him being fired, and after the board accepted Peterson's resignation McGury stated "We wanted him fired. ... He is a disgrace."
"The state's attorney has the final oversight of potential cases and we certainly respect their decision, and are thankful they took the time to examine the facts," Teppel said.
Peterson is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson, and the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
The Illinois State Police, now being aided by the FBI, are currently investigating both cases.

Hello! I'm new, and I guess that this is a forum (I found this pages by accident while looking surfing around). Anyways, I want to join the contest to make friends with you guys.
.....ok here's the story...... [no title]
There's this guy, a good for nothing, that spend all day playing with a computer. And then suddenly it's about time for him to make a big decision in his life: either to continue education or land a low pay job. So he decided to go to college hoping that he can find a mature girlfriend and earn a degree. But math was too hard for him; histories drive him insane; fail English writing exam; and he can't stand any teachers. Nothing works. At the end, he's a total failure, a terrible failure - the game is over for him. Until he one day he was so dissapointed and watch a hentai anime, guess what happen? He sat down, and start drawing and drawing and drawing and drawing the anime series days after days that he forgot about college. So he decided to quit college and spend all day drawing, and drawing and drawing and drawing. Then he said to himself, this is what I want to do. Hentai For Life!

RIO DE JANEIRO — A Roman Catholic archbishop says the abortion of twins carried by a 9-year-old girl who allegedly was raped by her stepfather means excommunication for the girl's mother and her doctors.
Despite the nature of the case, the church had to hold its line against abortion, Archbishop Jose Cardoso Sobrinho said in an interview aired Thursday by Globo television.
"The law of God is higher than any human laws," he said. "When a human law — that is, a law enacted by human legislators — is against the law of God, that law has no value. The adults who approved, who carried out this abortion have incurred excommunication."
Health Minister Jose Gomes Temporao rebuked the archbishop, saying, "I'm shocked by two facts: by what happened to the girl and by the position of the archbishop, who in saying he defends life puts another at risk."
Abortion is generally illegal in Brazil, which is home to more Catholics than any other nation. But the procedure is allowed when the mother's life is in danger, when the fetus has no chance of survival or in rape cases where the woman has not passed her 20th week of pregnancy.
Doctors said the girl was 15 weeks pregnant when the abortion was performed Wednesday in the northeastern city of Recife, where Sobrinho is archbishop. Health officials said the life of the girl — who weighs 80 pounds — was in danger.
The pregnancy was discovered last week when the girl fell ill and her mother took her to a clinic. The child then told officials she had been abused by her stepfather, who is in police custody.
A similar case in southern Brazil surfaced Thursday. Authorities in Rio Grande do Sul state told the O Globo newspaper that an 11-year-old girl allegedly raped by her stepfather is seven months pregnant.
The 51-year-old stepfather has been in jail since January while the girl is in a hospital for high risk pregnancies and apparently will not have an abortion.

Former counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, who once famously apologized to the families of the 9/11 victims by saying, "Your government failed you, those entrusted with protecting you failed you, and I failed you," is once again back in the headlines, this time for pointing out that America (and its major corporations) are woefully unprepared to fend off cyberattacks from terrorist groups and hostile nation-states like China.
Clarke was recently interviewed by Ron Rosenbaum for Smithsonian Magazine, primarily for an article that focuses on who Clarke believes was behind the Stuxnet cyberattack against Iran in late 2010. Clarke -- like many other security experts -- points the finger squarely at the U.S., hinting that America may have received some assistance from Israeli intelligence services. Here's a key Clarke quote about Stuxnet from Rosenbaum's article:
"I think it's pretty clear that the United States government did the Stuxnet attack...I think there was some minor Israeli role in it. Israel might have provided a test bed, for example. But I think that the U.S. government did the attack and I think that the attack proved what I was saying in the book [which came out before the attack was known], which is that you can cause real devices—real hardware in the world, in real space, not cyberspace—to blow up."
Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich writes about terrorists using cyberwarfare to destroy physical machinery in his fictional novel Zero Day, but it's clear that Stuxnet -- and possible successors like Duqu -- have turned fiction into reality. Several security experts have suggested that China was behind the cyberattack on security vendor RSA that netted information about RSA SecurID tokens, information which was then allegedly used to launch attacks against major defense contractors like Lockheed-Martin and Northrop-Grumman.
In addition to attacks against U.S. government agencies and defense contractors, Clarke believes that China has invested billions in an attempt to use cyberwarfare to steal secrets from U.S. companies, a strategy that Clarke says the U.S. government won't emulate. Clarke suggests that China's cyber-espionage efforts pose a significant long-term risk to US interests, mainly because China is leveraging cyberwarfare to steal trade secrets from US companies. Clarke told Rosenbaum that his "...greatest fear is that, rather than having a cyber-Pearl Harbor event, we will instead have this death of a thousand cuts. Where we lose our competitiveness by having all of our research and development stolen by the Chinese."
Rosenbaum's article presents a chilling outlook for US cybersecurity efforts, and should be a must-read for anyone involved in IT security.

A Variant on Armor Class for the Detail Oriented Edit
This is a variant for those out there who are not satisfied with with the classic D&D "you miss". How? Why? I was using a cold battle axe, so did his armor freeze? And his shield was providing the cold resistance, not his armor, so do I deal full cold damage? Hopefully this variant will answer these questions and more!
How it Works Edit
This variant is at the same time simple and complex. Below is a list of common modifiers to armor from the first to last line of defense. To use, just compare the attack roll to armor class, and apply to modifiers using this list in order, and determine consequences from there.
Size- A miss that fails to meet or beat size missed by a mile, which will result in mocking laughter unless you were trying to shoot a fly. Projectiles are either lost or destroyed, as per normal rules.
Deflection- If a deflection mod was what got in the way, then the attack simply was stopped by whatever was protecting the target. The target didn't even need to flinch. Projectiles are stopped in midair in front of the target, landing at his feet. Thus, the spent ammunition is still perfectly usable and can be picked up.
Profane, Holy, Fire, etc.- If one of these applies then the responsible force halted the attack, much like the above deflection bonus. Luck bonuses also apply, but Morale does not at this level, see below. Projectiles are absolutely destroyed.
Dodge or Morale- The character actively avoided the attack entirely. In the case of Dodge, he dodged it, but the GM can have fun describing a morale based miss, as long as he puts passion into the description. Projectiles are lost or destroyed, as per normal rules.
Shield- If you have a shield and are trained in its use, your reaction to incoming attacks you can't dodge will be to move the shield in the way. As an optional rule, if an attack hits the shield, then damage can be rolled against the shield as per a sunder attempt. All hardness and other resistances apply. If the blow would destroy the shield, then any left over damage can carry over to the one using it. Projectiles either embed themselves in the shield or destroy themselves.
Dexterity- When active motions can't save you, your lizard brain can. Dex misses rely on muscle memory and reflexes to come into effect. However, because it is a reflex you almost never have say in what was done to protect yourself. Often, this means a weapon was used to parry in the case of skilled fighters, but maybe a backpack was slung as an improvised shield, or a friendly local rock, or the character made himself fall out of the way. The player and the GM planning to use this variant should discuss exactly how the character fights, and use that to determine what happens. Projectiles are either lost or destroyed, as per normal rules.
Armor- Armor is often the last line of defense and the life line between life and death for many heavy fighters. If armor was what stopped the attack, then damage should be rolled as per a sunder on the armor, keeping all the same points in mind from the Shield section above. Projectiles often destroy themselves or bounce off armor, thus they follow normal rules for lost or destruction.
Natural- The absolute last line of defense, you are relying on your very skin to stop what has punched through everything else. If natural armor was what stopped the blow, then thank your thick fur, shell, skull or what have you and get back in the fight. Projectiles destroy themselves.
Needed Variant-Weapon Shock Edit
In order for this variant to be balanced in regards to attacker v. defender, I highly recommend using a variant that also allows for in game weapon wear and tear. My version is weapon shock. Whenever a weapon fails to over come hardness or damage reduction based upon tough material defense (dragon scales count, shooting through a skeletons ribs does not, etc.) the damage rolled is done to the weapon used. In the case of manufactured weapons, only half of the weapons hardness applies and the weapon breaks if it's hit points reach 0. In the case of natural weapons, this damage is done directly to the attacker. Projectile weapons and spells are risk free, but their ammunition is not.

How do you sneak three major Hollywood stars into and out of town to work for two days without being overrun by curious residents? Quietly. Very, very quietly — down a narrow, low-profile dirt road.
How do you sneak three major Hollywood stars into and out of town to work for two days without being overrun by curious residents? Quietly. Very, very quietly — down a narrow, low-profile dirt road.
For the first time ever, a Hollywood film studio has used Georgetown as the setting for a film. Camp Leslie was pressed into service as the set for a women's ashram in the Berkshires in the upcoming film revival of "The Women."
Rumors started buzzing around Georgetown when the parking lot at Rock Pond Restaurant filled up with large white trailers last week. A car show? A camping expedition? What was that "TW" on each trailer?
When small yellow signs marked "Set" and "Crew" showed up at Camp Leslie and at St. Mary's Church, people realized someone was filming something. People called friends to find out if anyone knew anything.
It turned out that a remake of the 1939 film "The Women," starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Bette Midler, Candice Bergen, Debra Messing, Eva Mendes and Jada Pinkett Smith, had come to town to film.
Unit publicist David Linck, who worked as publicist for the films "Three Men and a Baby," "City Slickers," "American Beauty," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Talladega Nights," called Georgetown a good fit for the film.
"Camp Leslie is quiet and rustic, but right next to a major road, and close to I-95," said Linck. "The lodge has a beautiful view overlooking a lake. It fit with the script."
A curious fact about the film is that there is not one single man in it, not even as an extra, according to Linck.
The three actresses who filmed in Georgetown — Meg Ryan, Bette Midler and Annette Bening — were never spotted by residents as they were driven up from Boston, each in her own SUV with her own driver. The actresses were taken straight to makeup trailers at the Rock Pond Restaurant, and then driven to nearby Camp Leslie for long days of filming and rehearsal.
The large film crew had more leeway, and Linck enjoyed a tasty lunch and dinner at Rock Pond Restaurant, and says they also enjoyed subs from Johnny's on East Main Street, and visited Selectman Lonnie Brennan's store The Chocolate Cellar for slushes.
The film is on a tight schedule, according to Linck, and the hope is to be done by Oct. 10. The actresses and crew are filming in and around Boston five days a week, 12 hours or more at a time. Filming in Georgetown was done over two days, last Thursday and Friday.The divine Miss M.
As Georgetown residents learned about having a bit of Hollywood in town, some found ways to get over to Camp Leslie. Dick and Bea Boucher walked over from their nearby home on West Main Street to watch the filming. Bea was impressed with the size of the crew of more than 200 people.
"There was even a dog on the set with a crew pass around his neck," said Bea. "They sent people over to the Fish and Game to ask them to stop shooting for a few minutes. I was told one person called out an actress's name at one point, and they cleared everyone out. I was there during the afternoon, and I saw them film a scene where women were putting canoes over their heads and walking towards the water."
Masco teacher and Georgetown resident Sherry Kenney decided to find out what would happen if she just drove in and then sat with the crew near the filming in front of the lodge.
"People kept looking at me, but no one told me to leave," said Kenney. "I was talking with Sarah from Buffalo, N.Y., who was the casting person. Whenever they yelled 'Rolling!' we stopped talking and watched them filming the same scene from slightly different angles. Sarah told me they do as many as 20 takes sometimes. They were inside and we were outside, but we could see the action on three or four monitors."
Kenney may have gotten the closest look at Bette Midler, who walked right by her as she was led along a path.
"We made eye contact," said Kenney. "She was wearing a platinum wig, jeans and a shirt. It was exciting. Oh my gosh, Hollywood is right here in Georgetown! It was nice of them to let me into their midst to get a glimpse of Hollywood from the other side of the camera for the first time in my life."
Camp Leslie trustees and Georgetown residents Daryl Barta and Eric Waybright spent many hours at the camp offering support to the film crew.
Waybright, whose father used to run Camp Leslie, took a week off from his maintenance mechanic job at General Electric to be on hand during setup and filming.
"It was pleasant. I worked closely with the location scout," said Waybright. "They filmed a yoga scene, canoes heading for the water, and women talking inside the lodge."The real stars
Apparently, Georgetown just lucked out with this film shoot. One day last summer, after getting lost while searching for a different location, according to the camp trustees, the filmmakers were driving on West Main Street and spotted the Camp Leslie sign. They just happened to drive in on the camp's big annual cookout day.
The filmmakers liked the small remote road into Camp Leslie, but worried the encroaching tree branches would scratch their equipment trucks. They hired Thurlow Street resident Bob Eaton of Eaton Chips to cut back the branches for them.
The filmmakers shined up the lodge floor, added some doors, and planted bushes in front of the lodge, leaving it in better shape than when they arrived.
They originally planned to hire the function room at Rock Pond Restaurant for feeding the crew, but with about 250 on the crew, they needed a larger space. They pitched a large wedding tent on the baseball field at Camp Leslie, feeding the crew and the trustees fancy catered meals like marinated duck, salmon, lasagna, rice, broccoli and carrots and salad on Friday night, plus cooking someone an individual steak.
The stars ate in their trailers back at Rock Pond Restaurant, and then returned to the set, never interacting with the crew or the public.
"They came in, hopped back in their cars, and left," said Waybright.
Plates of cheese, crackers and fruit were passed around during the day, and for a killer shoot that lasted from 2 p.m. until 4 a.m., sushi, pizzas and coffee were brought in for the crew at midnight.
"They were a very well fed crew," laughed Waybright. "One day they hired a local ice cream truck to come in during the day, and we could have anything we wanted."
Trustee President Chuck Ingersol of Wakefield agreed the film crew was certainly well taken care of, and joked that trustee Artie Meehan of Saugus "spent most of his time eating."
"Everyone was incredibly nice," said Barta. "They bent over backward to be nice to us, and we bent over backward to be nice to them."
Ironically, Camp Leslie, which hosts boys and girls ages 7 to 14 for both day and residential camping every summer, was founded in 1939, the same year the original film of "The Women" came out. Campers swim, canoe, do arts and crafts, nature studies, archery and have a skit night. Learn more about Camp Leslie at www.campleslie.org.
"It was nice to see the camp in a different light," said Ingersol.
"Overall it was a very positive experience," said Waybright. "It was certainly entertaining for the trustees."
Still, Waybright said he is more impressed with the Camp Leslie staff than the Hollywood stars.
"Our staff is the backbone of the whole place," said Waybright. "The counselors and the staff who do a fantastic job for very little money keeping the kids entertained — they're the real stars."

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire hockey team has struggled with Boston College in recent years.
The Wildcats have won only one of the last 11 meetings between the Hockey East rivals. They've lost five in a row, including a three-game sweep last season, and haven't beaten the Eagles at the Whittemore Center in almost four years.
This would be a good time to start turning things around.
UNH will get that chance this weekend when it faces BC in a home-and-home series featuring the top two teams in the league and two of the top four in the country.
"Last year we were a totally different team at this point," said sophomore defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk. "We definitely don't like losing and that kind of sticks in our mind that they swept us. We want to come in this year and make a statement that we're right back up there and we deserve to be at the top."
The teams play tonight (7, NESN) at Conte Forum with the rematch scheduled for Saturday night (7) at the Whitt.
No. 2/3 BC (12-3-2, 9-2-1 HE) leads fourth-ranked UNH (13-3-2, 8-2-1 HE) by two points in the Hockey East standings with the Wildcats holding a game in hand.
The teams are meeting for the first time this season.
"One of our first goals is to win the regular season championship," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "Going head to head now, this is going to be an important series where we can control the outcome. It's a huge opportunity for us."
"It's our biggest weekend of the year thus far," said senior forward Austin Block. "It's going to be a good test for us."
The Wildcats have won two in a row, including last Saturday's 5-2 victory over Rensselaer in their final non-conference game of the season.
BC is winless in its last two. The Eagles were blown out by Minnesota, 8-1, in the Mariucci Classic and last weekend tied Yale, 3-3.
They will, however, get leading scorer Johnny Gaudreau back. The sophomore forward just returned after winning a gold medal for the U.S. at the world junior championships where he was the tournament's leading scorer with seven goals.
He has 11 goals and 23 points for BC. Pat Mullane has eight goals and a team-high 13 assists.
"You've got to be aware when they're out there, especially Gaudreau," van Riemsdyk said. "They're really skilled guys. You've got to take away their time and space because that's when they're most dangerous."
Steven Whitney leads the Eagles with five power-play goals. They'll be a challenge for a UNH team that leads the nation in penalty killing percemtage (93.7) and has allowed only one power-play goal in 39 chances in Hockey East play.
The clubs haven't met since last Jan. 27-28 when the Eagles swept a home-and-home series with a couple of one-goal victories, including one in overtime at the Whitt.
BC went on to win the Hockey East title and the national championship.
"We had them twice last year and gave it up," Umile said. "Hopefully we do a better job finishing."
So far this year they have. UNH has outscored the opposition in the third period and overtime 21-8 overall and 10-2 in league play.
By winning their last two games, the Wildcats believe they've regained some of the momentum they built up over the first half of the season.
They responded to back-to-back losses against Boston University before break and Dartmouth with wins over Bemidji State and RPI.
"Battling through adversity is probably going to happen at some point," said Block, who leads UNH with 10 goals. "The way we handle it is going to determine if we win or not."
The emergence of the Matt Willows, Jay Camper and Dan Correale line has been instrumental in the team's recent success.
The trio has combined for eight points in the last two games.
"They've been great," Block said. "They bring energy on the bench, especially here at the Whitt. They know their role and they're doing it very well."
Their contribution is even more vital with junior forward Nick Sorkin out with a broken hand.
"When you play against Boston College you need more than two lines," Umile said. "We'll need that kind of depth."
With 16 games left in the regular season, the Wildcats are trying to keep this series against a notorious second-half team in perspective.
"We can't turn it into something bigger than it is," van Riemsdyk said. "It's just a couple more games. Obviously it's a good measuring stick for us. The second half of the year is generally when they crank it up."
"You have to stay even-keeled out there," Block said. "You can't let emotions get the best of you."

This Web Seminar took place on November 17, 2009, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Presenting was Tim Owen, from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Frank Niepold, UCAR Climate Education Coordinator at NOAA Climate Program Office; and Peg Steffen, Education Branch Chief at NOAA. In this Seminar, Mr. Owen focused the presentation on specific climate changes, current and expected in the Eastern United States.
This Web Seminar is the second in a series of web seminars on climate change sponsored by NOAA, as well as other governmental organizations. This presentation started with some background on general climate change data and moved to specific regional climate issues in the Eastern United States. The presentation featured information from the report: Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States. Largely based on results from the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), the report integrates that data with related research from around the world. Peg Steffen gave a web tour of a climate change tool-kit from NOAA and Frank Niepold assisted on the chat.
Sixty-one (61) participants were present at the live Web Seminar in addition to the presenter and NSTA staff. Participating educators represented the states of Alabama, California, Connecticut,
Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. One participant attended the Web Seminar from a country outside the United States: Qatar.
Seminar participants received one of the NSTA SciGuides. A certificate of attendance was deposited into participants My PD Record and Certificates area in the NSTA Learning Center for completing the evaluation form at the end of the program.
Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:
Thanks to the participants and the presenter for the learning opportunity, the interactions, and a job well done!

They love me… they really love me
The L.A. Times has just named Syrup one of "The Best Books of 1999"!
That's so cool — thanks L.A. Times!
Future covers
I've got a sneak preview of the new Syrup cover, which will adorn the US paperback release next year. What do you think? Yes, I'm getting interactive: vote for your favorite cover now!
And one other thing: the German-language Syrup is coming out shortly, under the name Fukk. That gives me an alarming amount of adolescent enjoyment.
And home again
I'm back in Melbourne after the Newcastle Young Writers Festival — my first writers festival, and a great experience! Things have been very busy for the last couple of months, especially since I'm just a few weeks away from finishing my next novel. (No, it's not a sequel. No, I'm not going to tell you about it… yet.) Stay tuned!
Send a friend some syrup today
Zowie, this is pretty cool. Thanks to Penguin Australia, you can now send a Syrup e-postcard!
Syrup in Oz
Back to Australia after five months in the US! I had such a great time in the States, but boy, it's good to be home again. Syrup is already on the bookshelves here (and wow, it's everywhere I look), although most of my publicity stuff won't happen until September. (I argued hard for a Godzilla-style teaser campaign, starting to build about nine months before publication date, but you won't believe how obstinate these publishers can be.)
After the tour
Thanks to everyone who came to hear me read on my US tour! I think my favorite question was: "Did you really write this?" Indeed: did I, or is this exotic Australian exterior nothing but a slick marketing idea designed to attract publicity? You be the judge.
We have lift-off
See Max Run

Cannonball: 18 weeks pregnant marathon
I have been such an emotional mess lately that I opted not to mention it on the blog. I am subject to changing my mind at the spur of the moment and didn't want to deal with explaining why I didn't run, if I were to wimp out. But this morning I was game, despite my ever-worsening plantar fasciits. If nothing else, I figured I would try to run the same amount of time as SR and then we could go home together.
The race start was a 10 minute run from our apartment and there were about 25 other runners, most of whom we knew. It was just the kind of race I needed. I need support right now. I hate to sound fragile, but I have been letting people get to me. In the last week I have had three female doctors tell me they would never run pregnant because it was too dangerous. When someone says this to me, I get big crazy eyes and ask in slow monotone "how exactly is it crazy?" - still big... crazy... eyes. And then I get stupid answers - "it shakes the baby too much", or "I read that somewhere once, I think". Maybe I give people too much credibility just because of the doctor title (and in honestly, they certainly do know a lot about the field they are in!). But, God, no one wants to hear that what they're doing is a threat to their baby. Sometimes I wish I lived in a bubble where I could just run as much as I wanted and I wouldn't have to deal with having (undeserved) guilt being bestowed upon me from all directions.
The run started ingloriously. Lots of cold, wind and hills. I claim to like these conditions, but then again, I've almost forgotten what it is like to run a flat marathon in nice weather. The latter would have been nice today.
The race was set up in 7 loops of 6 km. I ran the first two with a really nice guy, Claus Fischer, who helped me forget all of the disturbing noise in my head. And everyone there seemed to know I was pregnant - I got comments like "respect!" and "incredible!". It was great. No, I don't want my ego fed, and I'm not running marathons to look like a hero. I run them because I enjoy them and I truly believe it is a healthy thing to do in pregnancy. AND I am an absolutely normal woman who has found herself scrutinized and criticized by many a woman in Denmark, after and article was written about me in the magazine I form (there was not a lot or criticism - but the negativity that was there echos in my head every day).
After Claus went ahead, I focused a lot on my foot and decided to drop. It was killing me. But then Birgitte joined me. She has now run 184 marathons (almost all with her dad, who was there and has run over 420!) and she was like a pain killer and - and her presence simply an inspiration. We had a lot to talk about, including her own pregnancy and how she hated people giving her a hard time. She said she eventually stopped talking about it with anyone and ran in secret. Anyway, she left me after the 4th loop - and by this time I knew I could run the whole thing. My foot felt strangely better. I had run into SR who was doing well and said he'd meet me at the finish with The Lorax. Well, knowing they were going to be there was a big incentive. I was able to pick up the pace and, for the first time, turned on my music. My friend, Jerk was right behind me the rest of the way. My mantra was simply "I must beat Jerk!". I ended up feeling great the last two miles and was able to beat my pregnancy PR (4:19:59), with a time of 4:18:06. Nothing really to write a blog post about, but I was thrilled and, best of all, felt awesome! And I got a solid second place for the females (out of five?). The Lorax and SR were there to give me a hug.
SR had almost certainly beaten the course record, but had not worn a watch, so had no proof (his time was around 3:15). His comment "I don't wear watches on training runs". We thus missed out on winning a bottle of wine, which neither or us would have drunk anyway.
Morten deserves many thanks for a perfectly arranged race. Morten, I just ate a piece of your wonderful cake :).
Running song of they day: Sentimentally Falling by The Rumour Said Fire
Edit: Here is a shot of the marathoners pre-race. No, I did not wear a backpack the entire race. I just ran it to the aid station so my chocolates and non-functional camera would be waiting for me after each loop. I just realized how cool I would be if I had a pair of non-black running tights.

Way to go SLG!! truly inspiring, love that you continue believing in yourself having done so much research (and being a living example). I'd be happy to do that marathon time non-pregnant and minus plantar fasciitis!! But take care of that foot ok? Coz being sidelined by PF would drive you crazy I'm pretty sure (though give you lots of time to spend in the pool training for an eventual IM :) ) Keep up the mighty fine work, have a great week.

Niiiice! Pregnancy PR!!! Woo-hoo! Sure it is something to write about!
I think that it is acceptable to have your ego fed once in a while, even if you do not care about it:)
Why do you feel guilty? You have already run through one pregnancy and everything has turned out perfect so you know that it is not way more dangerous that sitting on a coach and letting your body grow. Do you tell people that you have already run when pregnant with The Lorax?
At least your family and SR understand it. Imagine how bad that would be if they did not support your running. So you have an awesome husband.
I mostly run in secret and am not even pregnant. I will let you know how it goes if I ever am pregnant. My family would freak out, drag me home and tie me to the radiator, I am sure of it:)

By the way, do you do some isolated stretching for that Plantar fasciitis? I have read that stretching and strong core and back are keys to help healing it.

Great run.
I am so happy you got out there and did it.
I agree with Cherelli, try to take care of your foot, you`ll go bonkers if you have to take extended time off!

You are awesome !!! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but your blog has inspired me to be a better runner and push more limits, to seize my potential instead of just letting it come naturally. Thank you.
Congrats on the new Pregnancy PR. :)

next time a doctor gives you a hard time just tell them YOUR doctor said it was ok. It might be a fib but that will shut them up!

Hi Sea Legs Girl - I have a pregnant racing/ nutrition question for you, if you are game. Do you typically eat anything like sports gels or beans before or during runs? Do you do anything differently nutrition-wise when racing pregnant than other times? Just curious if you have to hydrate, eat more during races when pregnant. I feel like I have to drink every 10 minutes when running during pregnancy, and I'm running 8 or 9 miles max. So wondering what you experience. Thanks!

Hej Tracy.
Way to go (run) Girl!!!
Hvor ville jeg ønske, at jeg kunne ha' løbet sammen med dig idag. Vi løber jo samme tempo nu:-)
Birgitte er en sej pige - nøjagtig som du og I er begge meget inspirerende.
Tracy, vi begge ved, at den vigtigste at lytte til, er en selv. Der findes ligeså mange gode råd, som der findes mennesker. Jeg får også mange kommentarer, når folk erfarer, at jeg stadig løber trods råd om lang pause. Lad os selv føle efter og gøre hvad vi mener er det rigtige for os sålænge vi ikke føler, at det vi gør skader os.
Glæder mig til at se dig igen og løbe et marathon sammen med dig, nu hvor jeg endelig kan følge med :-).
Mange hilsener

Nice run! Yeah, just stop talking and do more running...you know, I've said that before:) As for PF, there is such thing as Airrosti and it works miracles (painful like hell). Basically, breaking up fascia big time. I bet Graston would help too. Then - stretch a bunch, foot and calf. Good luck! Had my 3rd PF in running history recently.

I'm not winning any fashion awards, but I've found that wearing Dansko clogs almost all the time really helps my PF. That and stretching in the a.m. before even letting your feet touch the ground.

- Kirsten said...
Great to hear that you can and that you will - just continue what is good for you!!
Question: At a Cannonball marathon, are all the runners these fast kind of people who finishes the run after 3½ hours and then you are the only one to continue running or are there also slower people running? I mean is it possible for a "normal" runner to participate in a Cannonball?

As usual - the comments are much more interesting than the blog post! Thanks for making me sound boring!
As far as the plantar fasciitis goes, I think I have found my cure (may have to write about it in a bit)- but I have read all of your thoughts and suggestions with great interest because it is really a tough injury.
Thank you Karen - it means a lot that maybe I have some sort or positive effect on someone out there!! Even cooler that it's you :).
Grace - I find when I exercise normally that I need more fluids, but during marathons now it is the opposite. When not pregnant, I ran so fricking hard (and sweat buckets) that I had to drink constantly. I actually drink less when running marathons now since I'm not pushing it to the same extent. I must admit I eat more though - and it is basically anything that has chocolate in it (petit écolier cookies are one of my favorites). I had mentioned that I don't eat sweets anymore - but for races and long runs I make exceptions. Gels here taste terrible. And if I eat fruit I get extreme hypoglycemia shortly after, so I avoid fruit (and candy! - chocolate is my secret weapon.)
Henritte - hope you don't mind that I translate one of your sentences for everyone. "Der findes ligeså mange gode råd, som der findes mennesker." - "There just as many good types of advice as there are humans." THAT was a wise statement, girl. I look forward to running a marathon with you asap (before you get faster).
Kirsten- SR was the ONLY one who finished under 3.5 hours and MOST finished AFTER me! Cannonballs are generally used as training runs for "normal" runners.

"Jerk"? For realz? If that's his real name, I feel bad for him, even if "Jerk" is Danish for, like, well-hung; and if it's not his real name, just your nickname for him, I wonder why he's still your friend. Does he know you call him that?
In any case, congrats on finishing a marry with a preggo PR.

Not sure you'll like it, but I'm currently loving "Motobike" by The Hopefuls.
Nice race, btw.

You get hypoglycemic after eating fruit in races? Fructose has a glycemic index of only 20, so with some fruit, you probably aren't getting the sugar into your bloodstream in time to use it. Some fruits, though, like dates and figs (and I think raisins) are full of sucrose (GI=100), which should enter quickly. Dried fruits might work for you and they're easy to carry and don't bruise or spoil.

Harmonizers, are you screaming?! The girl band's latest sound is incredible! The tune has an infectious beat that requires you to get out of your seat and start dancing.

I tend to be an optimist, and like to look at the big picture. So I was quite happily surprised by an article in the LA Times about brain differences between conservatives and liberals. It is just a study, and not a definitive answer, but interesting nonetheless.
In this exploration of the neurobiology of politics, scientists found that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work. NYU and UCLA scientists performed an experiment that shows differences in how the brain processes information. Not only politics but also everyday situations are affected by these brain differences. Conservatives are more structured and persistent in their judgments - liberals are more open to new experiences, Dr. Marco Iacoboni says the results show "there are two cognitive styles, a conservative style and a liberal style." Frank Salloway, a researcher at UC Berkeley said the results " provided an elegant demonstration that individual differences on a conservative - liberal dimension are strongly related to brain activity". Neither of these researchers was part of the study, but they do study political behavior. Of course, as the author of the study, David Amodio of NYU points out, this study looks at a narrow range of behavior and should not conclude that one political orientation is better than the other. There is a spectrum of political behavior, and positions are affected by education, wealth, and other factors as well. But it could make a meeting of the minds difficult.
And this is where my optimism kicks in. If it is true that brain activity has something to do with our political gridlock, there are solutions for it. We can just change our brains! It is well known that certain activities, such as meditation, not only cause changes in the brain, but provide physical benefits as well. So instead of watching the continuous political circus on TV, we could spend time meditating, walking in nature, or doing one of the many relaxing things that calm our brain and body.
Congress could begin the day with chant. Voting booths could play soft music. Before one responds to a political statement with which you disagree, count to ten and take a deep breathe. Try to listen to the emotion behind the statement. Is it fear? Of the unknown? Of something new, or different? Often what appears to be anger, or hatred, is fueled by fear.
I know it sounds a bit crazy, but this is going to be a crazy year. Politically speaking. We have little control over what happens out there in the big world of politics, except for supporting candidates of our choice, and voting. Both extremely important things to do.
But for ourselves, personally, we do have control. We have control over our actions, our words, and to some extent, our brain's processes. This is the ultimate freedom. No person, no government, no outer force can take away this freedom. So instead of ranting about liberty, use your own. Free you brain. Try something new. Then go back to being a political being, part of a great country, and do what you think to be right. Remembering that listening is as important as talking, that working on differences can provide solutions, that we can gain strength from everything that happens.
Crazy liberal optimism? Maybe. But it beats the alternative.
