Long Island Lutheran girls win state federation hoops crown
ALBANY -- The strategy is simply called, "Red." The way the Long Island Lutheran girls attacked the ball on defense Saturday, it was as if they were sharks who smelled blood.
The Lady Crusaders made 20 steals, forced 30 turnovers that they turned into 29 points and thoroughly thrashed Troy, 62-45, Saturday in the state Federation Class A championship game at the Times Union Center.
In winning its second Federation title in three years, Lutheran chomped on Troy's guards, frequently making steals before the Flying Horses could get the ball across midcourt. Lutheran built a 60-29 lead early in the fourth quarter before clearing its bench.
"Defense was the key to winning this game," said guard Katie Lavelle, who had five steals and 13 points.
"We knew we were the dominant team. We knew we had it," said forward Stacy Barrett, who contributed a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds and was named to the all-tournament team along with Lavelle.
"We brought the energy. We wanted it and we had confidence," said point guard Boogie Brozoski who had 14 points, five steals and was voted Class A Tournament MVP. "It's a great feeling when everyone is on top of their game."
The feeding frenzy began early, as Lutheran (20-4) forced turnovers on Troy's first four possessions, built a 9-0 lead and never looked back. Barrett had eight points in the first half, when LuHi built a 34-18 lead despite missing some easy shots and shooting only 37 percent from the field. Once that number improved after the break, it was clear sailing.
A 13-2 run early in the third quarter was typical of how the game unfolded: contributions from everyone on the court and plenty of 'Red' to go around. Brozoski started the flurry with a driving layup. Nani Redford hit two free throws and Lavelle made a layup. The Lady Crusaders then stole the inbounds pass and Redford finished, and proceeded to do it again, this time with Barrett scoring off a putback. Lavelle concluded the burst with a three-point play that made it 47-22.
Others joined in the fun. Forward Sade Gibbons had eight rebounds and four steals. Super sub Taylor Byrne contributed seven points. Freshman guard Kaela Hilaire was dynamic in her 12 minutes with four assists, including two no-look beauties.
LuHi was also relentless on the boards, especially the offensive glass where the Lady Crusaders enjoyed a 23-10 advantage that produced 20 second-chance points. Barrett, with seven of her rebounds of the offensive variety, was in the middle of it all. "That's my role, to crash the boards," Barrett said. "I clean up and play defense. We all play defense. We better."
Lutheran coach Rich Slater said, admiringly, of Barrett, "She was an animal. Not many kids are as quick to the ball as she is. She's the first one to get to those putbacks. She's what I call a great second jumper."
Lavelle, who converted two conventional three-point plays, teamed with Brozoski and Redford (three steals) to apply the constant backcourt pressure early that took Troy out of the game. Double-teams turned into triple teams when the Flying Horses dared to pick up the dribble and found they had nowhere to go. "I struggled with my shot all year," Lavelle said, "but my defense is my most important role."
Slater liked what he saw all afternoon. "We took five charges. Our defensive splits were good. We got easy baskets in transition," he said. "We felt we could blitz [double-team] their ball-screens."
He described his game plan as, "Pressure, pressure, pressure. We wanted controlled havoc out there."
A splash of red was all it took.

After stripping SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone of its 3G streaming capabilities last year, AT&T has changed course and "approved" a version of the app with 3G streaming for sale in the App Store. Key to the reversal were changes that Sling Media made to make bandwidth use more efficient over 3G connections.
It took almost a year and a half for Sling to bring SlingPlayer Mobile to the App Store, and many users were disappointed when the app arrived without 3G streaming capabilities. AT&T cited a clause in its terms of service that prohibited "redirecting a TV signal to a personal computer," noting that it considered the iPhone a personal computer.
AT&T also noted that the app could "use large amounts of wireless network capacity, could create congestion and potentially prevent other customers from using the network." However, at the time we noted that other iPhone apps—e.g. YouTube—could stream video over 3G connections. What's more, versions of SlingPlayer Mobile were already available on other devices on the AT&T network, with no 3G streaming limitations.
Additionally, a number of apps that stream video over 3G started appearing late last year. Knocking Live Video and Ustream Live Broadcaster were approved and made available via the App Store while SlingPlayer Mobile remained unavailable.
So, what changed?
"Sling Media was willing to work with us to revise the app to make it more bandwidth sensitive," AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega said in a statement. "They made important changes to more efficiently use 3G network bandwidth and conserve wireless spectrum so that we were able to support the app on our 3G mobile broadband network."
AT&T hasn't said what specific changes were made, but the company plans to publish "wireless network optimization" requirements for apps with the next couple months. The takeaway is that developers will have to conform to AT&T specifications if it wants App Store approval, at least for apps sold in the US.
In a statement released to the press, senior vice president and general manager of Sling Media, John Gilmore, said that the company is "delighted with AT&T's decision to approve the SlingPlayer Mobile app on their 3G network."
Surely users will be as well, but we are still troubled by the fact that AT&T is able to influence the approval or rejection of specific applications based on its own network requirements, especially when that means functionality may be disabled for users in areas that don't have the same restrictions. We wondered if Sling had received any similar objections to its earlier implementation of 3G streaming over the iPhone from other mobile carriers, but the company could not be reached for comment before publishing.
The power to reject apps was one that AT&T specifically denied having in a letter last year to the FCC, though. "Apple alone makes the final decisions to approve or not approve iPhone applications," AT&T told the FCC in its reponse to questions regarding the rejection of Google Voice. That echoed a statement from AT&T spokesperson Brian Mays on the matter, who reiterated to Ars that "AT&T does not manage or approve applications for the App Store."
We asked AT&T for clarification on the matter again today. "Apple does indeed make app store decisions, but they do so with our Terms of Service in mind," AT&T spokesperson Seth Bloom said. "We were able to work with Sling so the app was more bandwidth sensitive, so we advised Apple that the optimized app can run on our 3G network."
The updated version of SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone, with 3G streaming capability, is not yet available for download in the App Store.

I have had my eye on the Friday set lunch at Balzac for a while now, but as I too don't work in the area it is a bit of a difficulty.
The meal you had looks delcious, I think I will have to make the effort.
The roast pork looks good enjoy to wag work on a Friday and go for lunch. Great photos!
I usually get Friday's off, so I think I'll have to check this out. Thanks for the tip! :D
I went there last week for the Friday lunch and I actually found the serving to be VERY small. I'm not a huge eater but I left the place still feeling pretty hungry. Was that the case with you too?
Three good-looking courses there. I don't mind smaller courses as I just eat more slowly. :-)
You had me at 'good pork crackling'. 3 courses for $35 is fantastic value, the food looks great too.
wow!!! I wanted to go to this restaurant with my cousin few months back because there was a discount voucher in Entertainment Book but we didn't go because I lived too far from Randwick. The food looks awesome. I think I should go there one day.
Wow that's a bargain! Trying to find a free Friday afternoon for this now! ;)
Yum the Slow Roast Pork Belly looks incredible.
The pork belly looks good.. great presentation
The pork and crackling look SO good!
I now love pineapple tarte tatin after this event...
My problem is when it comes time to leave a tip. Recently, my wife and I had a glorious dining experience up the central coast of California. The food and atmosphere were excellent the service was decent.
hi sara, i think it will be worth your while to take a friday off to try it. pretty good value.
hi melbatoast, a wag lunch hehe hope you get to try it.
hi the book harvest, you're lucky to have fridays off. no excuses for you then to check it out. you can see the menu online before to see if you'll like it.
hi fluffy, i think it might depend on what they're cooking. i found the servings were small but enough for me which didn't make me feel too heavy after. i think depending on the menu might decide how filling the meal will be. i could have probably eaten more but i was comfortably happy :-)
hi joey, smaller dishes are probably healthier too because French style cooking can use a fair amount of butter.
hi zina, i'll have to try assiette's to compare their $35 friday menu. i think they might have 2 choices for each course.
hi mona, hope you get to visit it one day. the friday lunch special would make it good value. not sure if they accept the entertainment card for this special though? you'd have to check. although i have the entertainment card too so perhaps i should have asked.
hi jen, hope you get to check it out soon to try it.
hi portuguese kitchen, i love roasted pork belly, especially when it has a great crackling. i could have eaten more of it.
hi thang, i think their presentation of dishes is improving which makes it more delicious as well :-)
hi tina, bring on the pork crackling! :-) wow you're so lucky to get invited to that special event. totally jealous!
hi sushi naples, strange comment for this post but thanks for dropping by :-)
The place looks amazing, and that is one of the better lunch specials I've seen. Especially when you consider what's being served. Glad to hear the food tasted as good as it looks(great pics by the by).
hi ehram, thanks for dropping by. you'll have to try one day if you get a chance :-)
I get these torturous emails too. You certainly picked a tasty Friday to have off! I must remember to do the same...
hi MissDissent, if they were in the city i probably would be visiting at least once a month :-)

By Patrick Henry*
During the celebration of the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity in Saint John's Abbey Church on June 18, 2011, Donald and Mabel Jackson walked up the central aisle to present to Abbot John Klassen the final folio of The Saint John's Bible. That stunning illuminated sheet of vellum, blue and red and gold, placed on the altar of the church built a half century earlier, triggered in me a cascade of connections across time and space.
High on the world's weirdness list according to modern physics is "entanglement"-the property of a particle at the quantum level of "knowing" what another particle, perhaps even on the other side of the universe, is doing, and reacting to it. Einstein called it "spooky." Many physicists recently have speculated that entanglement operates also on larger scales.
I certainly don't claim to grasp quantum mechanics (even Nobel laureates admit they don't really understand it), but entanglement is a metaphor ripe for plucking and placing in the bowl alongside coincidence, correlation, and synchronicity.
The folio on the altar suggested to me an entanglement between the architectural imagination of Marcel Breuer and the artistic imagination of Donald Jackson. Each "knew" what the other was up to, and reacted accordingly. The passage of time didn't matter.
Modern physics talks also about "fields," the setting or conditions in which things happen, like magnetic fields, and functions that describe what happens, such as wave functions. Above my pay grade, too, but making another metaphor raid, I'll say that the Breuer-Jackson entanglement requires the Benedictine field with its functions of community, patience, and courage.
My teacher, and great friend of Saint John's, the late Jaroslav Pelikan, wrote that "tradition is the living faith of the dead; traditionalism is the dead faith of the living." Benedictines are true keepers of tradition, because they are committed to doing as their ancestors did, not what they did. They know things take time, must be done together, and will have to overcome resistance and discouragement. Yet they know, too, that what seems traditional to us was not the product of traditionalism, but the result of boldness and innovation.
Saint Benedict's Rule sets forth not an experiment, but the conditions for an experimental way of life, and at the end Benedict says that even if you do it all, you'll still have made only a good beginning. Like monks in every age, those of Saint John's don't get stuck in the past, nor do they expect the story culminates in them.
They need a new church? Who says it needs to look like "a church"? Why not ask a path-breaking architect to re-imagine what might count as a church? As Marcel Breuer said, "In architecture you buy something that doesn't yet exist." This is as true of Gothic arches in 12th-century Paris as of pleated concrete in 20th-century Collegeville. Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis and Abbot Baldwin of Saint John's both had to break with traditionalism in order to keep tradition alive. And so will Abbot X of whatever monastery in the 23rd century.
The White Queen in Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There says, "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards." In a delicious historical irony, Saint John's Abbey and University at the very end of the 20th century remembered forward for the 21st century. It had been half a millennium since a monastery had commissioned a handwritten, illuminated Bible; Gutenberg made such productions obsolete.
One might suppose that contracting for such a work would be an instance of doing what their forerunners did, not as they did. But sometimes-after a hiatus of 500 years, for instance-what is very old becomes very new once more. A Bible written and illuminated by hand, with persistence and patience over a period of thirteen years, is these days so startlingly counter-cultural that people all over the world take notice. Words, their flavor diluted in oceans of printer's ink, suddenly taste again.
The story of Saint John's Abbey Church and the story of The Saint John's Bible are entangled in many ways. Both their distinctness and their resonance are gathered up in a tale told about Saint Benedict by Pope Saint Gregory the Great. "According to Benedict's own description, the whole world was gathered up before his eyes in what appeared to be a single ray of light. . . . Of course, in saying that the world was gathered up before his eyes I do not mean that heaven and earth grew small, but that his spirit was enlarged. Absorbed as he was in God, it was now easy for him to see all that lay beneath God."
In the Benedictine field, Abbot Baldwin and Abbot John and Marcel Breuer and Donald Jackson and the Abbey Church and The Saint John's Bible all happen simultaneously. And I suspect that the entanglement was/is orchestrated by the late Brother Dietrich Reinhart, president of Saint John's University, who, when the Bible project was first broached, said, "I need this like I need a hole in the head"-and then, immediately afterwards, "But wouldn't it be grand!"

James Whittaker is director of test engineering for Google, and author of "How To Break Software: A Practical Guide To Testing". He recently spoke with Dr. Dobb's editor in chief Jonathan Erickson.
Dr. Dobb's: Do virtualization and cloud computing pose unique testing challenges?
Whittaker: Opportunities more than challenges. At Google, if I want to test, say, Chrome, I visit a Web site, tell it how many machines I want and what operating systems, drivers, apps, and the version of Chrome that I want on them, and wham! those machines are provisioned, and I can point my test automation at them. I don't care where they are. I don't care what they are. They exist, and they act just like the test environment that I would otherwise have to painstakingly -- and expensively -- create.
Dr. Dobb's: What about multicore platforms and parallel programming?
Whittaker: Multicore behaves the same as single core from an external point of view. Same with parallel and serial. The difference is with unit-level and other code-based tests. The devil is in these low-level details, and tools haven't yet caught up.
Dr. Dobb's: Functional testing, unit testing, security testing, and more. What's next?
Whittaker: Accessibility -- hands down. The idea that we can abstract the input mechanics from the functionality of the app. The idea that anything the application is capable of doing can be invoked programmatically. For users with disabilities, this is crucial as it allows for a great deal of creativity in how the program is manipulated. For testers, this means the ultimate set of test hooks. With accessible code, I can write hooks that can literally drive it through its entire set of capabilities. Nothing needs to be left to chance anymore.
Dr. Dobb's: How close are we to "real" automated testing?
Whittaker: Whatever buttons users can press, whatever values they can enter, we can see and do with automation. But applying inputs is only the first part of manual testing. Human testers can see subtle variations that lead them to say "that's a bug." This is the primary limiting aspect of automation. Programs aren't good at seeing output and processing behavior. They can see crashes. But they can't notice major bugs like navigating to the wrong page or rendering an image incorrectly.

After nine years with the New Albany Country Club swimming team, Haley McLellan leaves for the University of Cincinnati in mid-August.
After nine years with the New Albany Country Club swimming team, Haley McLellan leaves for the University of Cincinnati in mid-August.
She wouldn't mind spending some of her future summers as an assistant coach for the Penguins, and their performance July 15 in the Country Club Swim League championships at Ohio State might have strengthened that resolve.
Four of the six meet records, all on relays, set by NACC came from swimmers 12 and younger, and the Penguins scored 2,978 points to roll to their fourth consecutive CCSL title.
"This year was the best year we've had. Every year, it gets better," said McLellan, who will swim at Cincinnati. "I don't think it's ever expected that we're going to win. Everybody trains really hard through the entire summer, and a lot of kids swim the entire year. All of these kids train so hard for this meet in particular. Hard work pays off."
The evening began with NACC's girls 8-and-younger 100-meter medley relay of Elyse Bergmann, Cali Demers, Carly Meeting and Ashlyn Morr winning in a meet-record 1 minute, 21.99 seconds, edging the Penguins' mark of 1:22.38 set in 2010. The same foursome later won the 100 freestyle relay in a record 1:13.14.
NACC also got record performances from the girls 15-and-older 200 medley relay (Taylor Berend, Amanda Jenny, McLellan and Eleanor Smith, 2:06.2), the girls 11-12 200 free relay (Olivia Bergmann, Alicia Donley, Samantha Kass and Mia Lachey, 2:02.89), the boys 11-12 200 free relay (Andrew Bernsdorf, Mike DeAscentis, Andrew Donley and Thomas Lennox, 2:03.2) and the girls 13-14 200 free relay (Molly Berend, Miranda Donley, Carly Shocket and Jessica Zaper, 1:58.66).
The Penguins, who also got 15 individual victories, finished ahead of Scioto (2,304), The Lakes (2,122), Wedgewood (1,926.5), Kinsale (1,757.5), Tartan Fields (1,526.5), Country Club at Muirfield (1,127), Worthington Hills (929), Medallion (818.5), Brookside (729), Jefferson (595) and Columbus Country Club (370).
"We did stack the relays a little bit more than in the past because we haven't had many opportunities to do relays and try to go for team records. They just wanted to get some team records that have been there since the 1990s, and this ends up happening," NACC coach Stephanie Donley said. "We have 240 kids on the team and probably 80, maybe 100, year-round swimmers. It's not as many as everybody thinks, but it's still a very strong portion. And our depth and our numbers are what helps us."
NACC's leading individual was Miranda Donley, the coach's daughter, who won the girls 13-14 50 free (28.21) and 50 butterfly (30.01) and was on the winning 200 medley relay (2:13.17).
NACC's boys 9-10 200 free relay of Ethan Halpern, Jared Kass, Jack Lindemann and Darden Spychalski also bested the old meet record of 2:22.05, set last year by Kinsale, but finished second (2:20.79) to Kinsale's Luke Dawson, Christian Hosler, Max Miller and Luke Nester (2:16.76).
Tartan Fields' Kai VanBourgondien won the boys 7-8 25 free (16.17), 25 backstroke (19.68) and 25 fly (meet-record 16.9) and helped the 100 medley relay to a win (1:26.4).
"He loves the sport and never misses practice," Tartan Fields coach Chris Hadden said. "His athleticism and his feel for the water are great. He's really taken to it. Everything we teach him technically, he does a great job of learning and correcting himself if he doesn't get something right."
Scioto's Tommy Dilz won the boys 11-12 50 fly (31.5) and 50 back (31.69), was second in the 50 free (28.91) and helped the 200 medley relay to second place (2:20.54).
"He's a great all-around athlete. He's a very good baseball player, probably as good at that as swimming, and he's going to have some choices to make as he gets a little bit older," Scioto coach Tim Bridgham said. "But he definitely has an ability to accelerate in water, to race and do all the little things well, which is fun to watch."
Hosler won the boys 9-10 50 free (32.26) and 25 fly (meet-record 15.62) and was on the winning 100 medley relay (meet-record 1:09.67).
Scioto's Caroline Colombo won the girls 9-10 50 free (32.69) and 25 fly (16.8), Medallion's Becca Knapper won the girls 15-and-older 50 free (27.31) and 50 fly (29.69) and Tartan Fields' Jack Scott won the boys 15-and-older 50 free (24.56) and 50 fly (27.46) and was on the winning 200 free relay (1:47.31).Upper Arlington
Other top performers for Scioto were Ben Sugar, who was first in the boys 13-14 50 back (31.09), second in the 50 free (27.03) and fourth in the 50 fly (30.01) and was on the winning 200 medley relay (2:07.11) with Parker Neri, Gavin Voss and Tom Weimer.
Will Dierker won the boys 11-12 50 back (41.36), and Griffin O'Neill won the 6-and-younger 25 back (28.92) and was fourth in the 25 free (25.6).Worthington
Brookside got wins from Anne Marie Cummins in the girls 15-and-older 50 back (31.55), Eddy Cordek in the boys 15-and-older 50 back (28.32) and the girls 200 free relay (1:55.27) with Kirby Boes, Anne Marie Cummins, Maureen Cummins and Abby Wiet.
Cordek, a recent DeSales graduate who also was third in the 50 free (25.67), will swim for the University of Cincinnati. Cummins will be a junior at DeSales.
Worthington Hills did not produce any event champions. Riley Murphy had the team's best finish, placing third in the girls 8-and-younger 25 fly (19.94).Gahanna
Jefferson was carried by third-place finishes from Jacob Eismann (boys 11-12 50 back, 33.07), Luke Gabrielli (boys 8-and-younger 25 breaststroke, 25.71) and Owen Sloan (boys 6-and-younger 25 free, 23.6).
Sloan also was fourth in the 25 back (31.75).Westerville
The Lakes got wins from Michael Gutman (boys 13-14 50 fly, 28.46), Elise Robinson (girls 6-and-younger 25 free, 22.75), and the boys 13-14 200 free relay (2:04.77) of Everett Halverson, Jack Mahoney, Tommy Mampieri and Connor McGovern.
Gutman also was third in the 50 free (27.14) and fourth in the 50 breast (36.1), and Robinson was fourth in the 25 back (29.24).Olentangy
Wedgewood swimmers were powered by 1-2 finishes in two races.
Landon Hunter won the boys 6-and-younger 25 free (22.8), ahead of teammate Tyler Kropp (23.3). Hunter also was second in the 25 back (30.21).
Hudson Williams won the boys 8-and-younger 25 breast (24.87), ahead of teammate Reed Kroeger (25.16).
Olivia Beigel won the girls 8-and-younger 25 breast (23.91), and Reed McGraw won the boys 15-and-older 50 breast (30.99) and was second in the 50 fly (27.58).
Kinsale's other winners were Ella Lowrie (girls 6-and-younger 25 back, 26.67) and Max Miller (boys 9-10 25 breast, 18.92).Dublin
Tartan Fields' other winners were Lauren Cooper (girls 13-14 50 back, 32.52) and Teagan Price (girls 7-8 25 free, 17.69).
Emma Mathews won the girls 11-12 50 free (30.03) for Muirfield.

Max Payne (PC) review
"Max Payne's developers were able to take a simple formula for a third-person shooter, and spice it up with slick controls, big guns, and a really cool controllable slow-motion feature (aka Bullet Time.) While most of the game revolves around running around killing things, the ability to toggle on your limited bullet-time makes the game all the more fun. Bullet-time slows the game down, allowing you to aim "

We're still on the downslide but slowed way down since the spring.
Lord Anton Treml III
Kicking this thread out of zombie land. The day after Labor Day I was 210 pounds. On Labor Day we went to a friend's house and ate like pigs. My portion meter is out of control so I had an extra helping of mac and cheese with pepperoni and ate a whole rack of rigs coated in nice sugary BBW sauce.
The day after Labor Day the host had a "mild" heart attach and last Thursday he had a triple bypass. He's 5 years younger than me. My dad died of a heart attack at age 36 and the latest pictures of him he looks bad - and I don't look much different. How's that for motivation?
I won't lie. I've been afraid to go see my doctor. I DON'T want to go on statins. Now more than ever I am firmly entrenched in the belief that medicines can do more harm than cure the symptoms they're prescribed for. I need to change my lifestyle. In a way, I've already started - though it's been at a high cost.
I've been making it a point to drink about 16oz of water as soon as I wake up, not have breakfast with Joey and at least go for a couple mile walk through our hilly neighborhood - not even overdoing it. This week I was down 4 pounds - though I admit I cheated. I downloaded that Whole30 Program and am reading it over.

Kwak, get you ass to the Dr. at least once a year. Weight does not define health. I am on a low dose statin for the last 2 years and my blood work comes back fine every six months and I try to watch what I eat but enjoy everything. We are the top of the food chain damn it. Act like it!! Everything in moderation. BTW, my BP was measured at my Dr.'s office yesterday at 120/84.

I hear ya, Mark. There's a lot of other things that need fixing. In fact, I suspect that I'm due for my 100,000 mile overhaul. I don't know if it would be convenient to anyone else's schedules though. I don't exactly have the greatest support system.
Anyway, last night I took a walk after supper. The path I take is only about 2.5 miles so ideally I should do it several times a day but it's up and down hills so it at least gets me to elevate my heart rate and break a sweat. A couple of years ago I would take Justin with me and I lost 5 pounds easily. Even though I don't have my walking buddy anymore I'm still down 4 pounds so far. My scale isn't the most accurate so I will check it 3 times but each time it said 204.8 this morning.
Last year when I counted calories I was down to just under 200. That's my short term goal. I don't want to lose too much too fast because I know that's just water weight which can wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system and your kidneys. There were a couple of times when I went on bike rides that were too long and too far and I actually felt terrible afterwards. I'm not that 140 pound kid anymore who could ride 20 miles on hilly terrain even on a heavy steel framed bike.
No, I need to be more sensible. I need to step it up by drinking more water during the day, cutting out caffeine and make dietary changes by cutting carbs and especially sugars. I need to especially cut out the cereal and potato chips and replace them with some form of low cholesterol source of protein.
I especially think getting better sleep is necessary too. I have consistently been terrible at that because I have trouble turning my head off at night for the worry. I'm convinced that mental health plays into it too.

i don't excercise. I quit jogging when I got married- hah ha!
I used to walk daily. Intense uphill treadmill style fast burst- short bursts- level off. Last time I did, I woke up unconcious on the floor.
Started a simple 1/2 hour 2mph walk today. First time in a year. With permission
Felt good

Not a daily journal or nothing, but I did manage another day on the treadmill. 2.8 mph, with a gentle slowdown so as to not stop and pass out, followed by a rehydrate and walk through the house a bit.
Epilepsy be damned!
Good times!

They wouldn't dare win it would they Leeds?
It is very sad to hear that Republic of Ireland Liam Miller has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. It's always sad when an ex player dies but at the young age of 36 it makes it even more tragic. Miller was born in Cork in 1981 and initially started his career with Ballincollig AFC. He would later go on to play for his boyhood heroes Celtic before spells at Manchester United, Sunderland, QPR and Hibernian before a move down under to play for Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne. He would later return to Cork to play for Cork City.
On 4th November 2005, Miller joined Leeds United, initially for three months, but this was later extended to the end of the 2005-06 season. He helped Leeds to reach the Football League Championship play-off final, a game in which he featured. However, Leeds failed to overcome Watford to win promotion back to the Premier League. He scored one goal during his time at Leeds, in perhaps the game he will be most remembered for, the winning goal in the stunning 4-3 away win against Southampton. When people talk about the greatest comebacks ever, this will rank with the best. When they talk of significant turning points it would also rank high on the list.
To be dead and buried at 3-0 at half time then rise like Lazarus was a miracle indeed. Its significance to Leeds went deeper than that. It showed that fighting spirit and determination can affect matches. It turned around the whole attitude of Leeds United from a bedraggled inconsistent outfit, seemingly going nowhere in another season of mediocrity into a phoenix rising from the ashes of total destruction. In twenty minutes, it gave the team the belief that they could perform consistently at that level and proved a springboard for the resurgence of their push towards regaining their Premiership status.
For seventy minutes Leeds were truly awful and clearly second best to an outfit that had totally dominated the first half and were good value for their 3-0 lead. Marian Pahars, returning after long–term injury, gave Southampton a well deserved lead after twenty-seven minutes in a move straight from the training ground, when scoring from close range. Nigel Quashie, who dominated the midfield for over an hour, made it 2-0 after teenage sensation Theo Walcott had tied Matthew Kilgallon in knots. The third came on the stroke of half-time, when Dan Harding got himself into a panic, after Matt Oakley's header caught him out and the defender inexplicably blocked it with his hands. The referee was left with no alternative than to point to the spot. Nigel Quashie made no mistake with the penalty kick just on half time.
Half-time saw vital changes take place as the reason for Southampton's first half dominance was disrupted. Their midfield of Matt Oakley, Nigel Quashie, Dennis Wise and Marian Pahars had so dominated, that they were able to pour forward at will through an almost non-existent Leeds engine-room, to exert pressure on an overworked defence. Marian Pahars was replaced by Neil McCann, after running out of steam and Tomasz Hajto and Ricardo Fuller replaced Claus Lundekvam and Dennis Wise, causing Southampton to lose their total dominance. Still there was no sign of things to come as Neil Sullivan was twice called upon to make stunning saves to keep United from total capitulation.
After sixty-seven minutes United made the move that was to be the catalyst for the game being turned on its head. The ineffective Frazer Richardson was withdrawn and David Healy came on and instructed to push up front. His arrival gave United what they had been lacking. He provided inventiveness; and Liam Miller suddenly came to life and became a major influence on the game. Even when the never-say-die Paul Butler headed home a Gary Kelly cross with nineteen minutes to go, it appeared to be no more than a consolation goal. "We're going to win 4-3," chanted the travelling faithful, more in jest than any firm belief.
Six minutes later the tireless Robbie Blake got his reward as David Healy set him up for the second goal. It gave United thoughts of salvaging a draw. Danny Higginbotham, whose confidence had severely wilted in the United onslaught, gave Leeds that chance when he handled a David Healy shot and the Irish International made no mistake from the spot after eighty-four minutes.
It was 3-3 and still six minutes left, the great escape had happened and United would have had every reason to be happy with a draw. Not likely! They just kept on attacking as Southampton defended desperately. Rod Hulse unselfishly laid the ball back into the path of the onrushing Liam Miller and the loan player celebrated his second match by firing the ball unerringly into the Southampton net to make it 4-3 in the eighty-sixth minute. The comeback was complete, and the Southampton players looked to the heavens for inspiration while the Leeds players celebrated as if they had won the World Cup.

Some Super Bowl bettors will pay more attention to what Peyton Manning says at the line of scrimmage than what he does after the ball is snapped.
Online sportsbook Bovada.lv is taking wagers on the number of times the Broncos quarterback yells "Omaha" as one of his presnap calls during the Feb. 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The over-under is 27½ and is among a series of more than 400 proposition bets, or props, announced Thursday by Bovada.
"I guess it goes to show that people will bet on almost anything," said David Brown, president of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce in Nebraska.
Other Super Bowl props include the length of opera singer Renee Fleming's rendition of the national anthem before the game (over-under of two minutes, 30 seconds) and the temperature at the time of the opening kickoff at MetLife Stadium (over-under of 34 degrees). Yet the Manning-Omaha prop might be among the most unusual.
If a bettor chooses the "over" and Manning says Omaha 28 times or more during Fox's telecast of Super Bowl XLVIII, he wins the same amount he wagered. He loses his bet in the same situation if Manning says Omaha 27 times or fewer. Manning said Omaha 31 times in the AFC title game, resulting in donations of $24,800 for his Peyback Foundation from Omaha businesses. Bloomberg News

Everyone who uses this forum currently is invited to partake in my incredible idea for a campaign
Behold everyone
D20 Mecha
A D20 giant mecha battling experience
The mechas serve as the main form of combat and most of that will be handled using my own custom system, all the on foot stuff will be d20 modern
Just as a little teaser here are the first mechs you get to pilot
Strength: 1400
Speed: 1400
Maneuverability: 1700
Heckler & Kotch, Mech Grade SMG: Damage (1d6) x 100
Arm mounted Vibro-blade: Damage 1d10 x 100
Movement Burst: after a melee attack the mech may fire it's thrusters to move a solid distance away from the enemy.
The Kaleidoscope was once a top of the line combat mecha, but progress has reduced it to nothing more than a low grade ambush craft. The Kaleidoscopes main advantage in combat is it's once record breaking ease of mobility. The numerous thrusters giving it a near 360 degree maneuverability range in space scenarios, and revolutionary balance servos allow for remarkable maneuvers whilst planetside. The downside of this remarkable system is the lack of armor and the lack of capacity for armament.
Attacker Killer 47: Standard Assault Issue
Strength: 1600
Speed: 1000
Maneuverability: 800
Mech Grade Assault Rifle: Damage 1d8 x 100
Mech Grade Pistol: 1d6 x 50
Grenade: 1d4 x 500
Arm mounted blade: 1d4 x 100
The Attacker Killer (A.K.) is one of the oldest yet most trusted models of mechs. Though by the time this campaign is taking place in the A.K. 50 has been released the A.K. 47 still remains one of the most popular models due to how cheap it is to produce, how reliable it is in the field of combat, and the numerous options for upgrades and customizations. The strength of this mech comes in it's durability, reliability, and how flexible it's armaments are. It's movement speed is nothing to write home about, and it's maneuverability is downright atrocious, but that is the price of a decent carrying capacity as well as good armor and durability.

Contribute for tickets to see Tony Bennett
JIMMY VAN HEUSEN: SWINGIN' WITH FRANK & BING celebrates the four-time Oscar®-winning composer whose musical genius created dozens of beloved classics for the American Songbook. With a remarkable career that spanned five decades and several eras in popular music, his close association with two of the greatest entertainment icons of the last one hundred years — Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby — resulted in numerous hit songs for both. Featuring interviews with Frank Sinatra, Jr., Harry Crosby, Tony Bennett, Angie Dickinson, Shirley MacLaine, Woody Allen and John Pizzarelli along with archival footage of timeless performances by Sinatra, Crosby, Judy Garland and many others.
Jimmy Van Heusen's relationships with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra were musical magic, and the composer's four Academy Award-winning songs are all best known for their Crosby-Sinatra performances: "Swinging on a Star," sung by Crosby in Going My Way (1944), "All The Way," performed by Sinatra in The Joker Is Wild (1957), "High Hopes" sung by Sinatra in A Hole in the Head (1959), and "Call Me Irresponsible," performed by Jackie Gleason in Papa'sDelicate Condition (1963) but made famous by Sinatra and Jack Jones. In addition, Van Heusen won an Emmy® for the song "Love & Marriage" from the 1955 live television production of "Our Town." His collaborations with Crosby included the creation of songs for six of the seven Crosby-Hope "Road Pictures," as well as for the all-time Hollywood classics Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary's.
Sinatra recorded over 80 songs by Van Heusen — more than any other composer — including "Come Fly With Me," "Here's That Rainy Day," "The Second Time Around" and "The Tender Trap." Close friends and musical kindred spirits, "they got into music together, they got into movies together and they got into trouble together," says Frank Sinatra, Jr. in the program.
Born Edward Chester Babcock in Syracuse, New York in 1913, Van Heusen was playing the piano at five and creating his own melodies at seven. At 12, he wrote the melody for "Imagination," which became a major hit with lyrics by Johnny Burke twenty years later. As a teenager he played piano in speakeasies and had his own radio show at 17.
Moving to New York, he was inspired by a department store display of Van Heusen shirts and changed his name. Working as a house pianist in Tin Pan Alley, he met and became friends with a rising young singer named Frank Sinatra. In 1938 he composed his breakthrough song "It's the Dreamer in Me," followed by other hits including "Moonlight Becomes You," "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and "Darn That Dream."
It was also in 1938 that Van Heusen used a royalty check to buy his first airplane, beginning a lifelong love of flying. When Paramount offered him a contract, Van Heusen reluctantly left New York for Los Angeles, piloting his own two-seater plane across the country and arriving just as Paramount's series of Bing Crosby-Bob Hope road pictures was taking off. The pairing of America's greatest musical star with its greatest comedy star was box-office gold. The melodies Van Heusen created fit Crosby's smooth-as-silk baritone like a glove and several became major wartime hits.
During World War II, Van Heusen, still at Paramount, worked as a P-38 test pilot under his real name, knowing that the studio would frown on their star songwriter risking his life. A legendary bachelor, Jimmy's house in the Hollywood Hills became a 24-hour open house for the studio crowd in the 1940s and 50s, and was a meeting place for the original rat pack, whose members included Judy Garland, David Niven, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and of course, Frank Sinatra.
The 1950s was a decade of major success for the Van Heusen-Sinatra musical partnership, as the composer teamed with lyricist Sammy Cahn to produce such all-time hits as "Love & Marriage," "All The Way" and "High Hopes." With special lyrics by Cahn, "High Hopes" became the official song and theme of the Kennedy presidential campaign in 1960.
Van Heusen often took Sinatra on late night flights in his various airplanes. One night, after listening to Jimmy rave about the desert and the house he had built in Palm Springs, Sinatra insisted they fly there. The next day Sinatra ordered construction to begin on his own house. A number of other Hollywood stars soon followed.
Van Heusen gave up his bachelor life in his late fifties, marrying former singer Bobbe Brock, who he had first met in New York in the 1930s when she performed as one of the three Brox Sisters.
In the 1960s Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn wrote songs for movie musicals Star! and Thoroughly Modern Millie, and the scores for two Broadway shows, Walking Happy and Skyscraper.
Passing away in 1990 at the age of 77, Jimmy Van Heusen is buried not far from Frank Sinatra in the Sinatra family plot in Cathedral City, California.

Last Saturday evening Katherine Morrison Dobbins and Jeffrey Scott Bonner were united in marriage at Highland Presbyterian Church.
The bride is the daughter of Jenny and Mark Dobbins and the parents of the groom are Anne and Mitch Coleman and Bonnie and Greg Bonner.
The bride's attendants were the Maids of Honor Molly and Anne Kash Dobbins. The bridesmaids were Caroline Pierce, Catherine Joliet, Elizabeth Thompson, Katherine Maclin Deppe, Mary Margaret Henry and Bennett Sumner Rolan. (Bennett was celebrating in spirit as she and her husband, Blake, are awaiting the arrival of their first child.

Ushers were David Baller, Jeffrey Schafer, Kurtis Kessler, Michael Sprengnether and Robert Garner.
Sharing in the celebration were Cassidy and Charles Sachs and Sophia Sparks, the bride's nieces and nephews, along with her maternal grandmother, Corky Sachs.
After the wedding service, the wedding party got on a waiting bus and drove all over town, having their picture made at specific landmarks that had meaning for them. They also had refreshments on the bus which contributed to the fun tour.
Then they returned to the guests that had assembled at the Ice House on Washington Street for the wedding reception and dinner, and the band played on with Carolyn and Jim Hutto still dancing at 11 p.m. Pretty good for old people!
Susie and Philip Greenberg, Sue Baughman, Libby and Jim Voyles, Roberta and Carl Fischer, Jack Roby, Barbara Moore, John and Nancy Reed, Kim and Vic Staffieri, Donna Taylor, and Mary and Ronnie Todd were among a slew of friends who love the couple and had a grand time.

They are off to Nashville, where Katherine works at Monroe Carell Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, and Jeff will be working on his PHD in microbiology at Vanderbilt.
