The Health Insurance lobby launched a surgical strike against Democrats' best hope for passing health reform on Sunday, saying the "Baucus" bill would likely drive up the cost of care for families and businesses, according to reports.
America's Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group, ended its behind-the-scenes lobbying campaign to charge in interviews that costs are set to rise by $1,700 a year for families by 2013. Citing an insurance-funded study by accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers, lobbyist Karen Ignagni listed several reasons private insurers would likely pass on costs to consumers. One top reason: Not enough healthy people would likely sign up for insurance to offset the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions.
A spokesman for Sen. Max Baucus called the study "seriously flawed" because it did not factor in savings from tax credits and other features in legislation now pending in the Senate Finance Committee. "It's a health insurance company hatchet job, plain and simple," Scott Mulhauser said of the study, The Associated Press reported.
Baucus' $829 billion bill most closely follows President Obama's prescription for health reform. It faces a final vote in committee on Tuesday.

Reese's Film Premiere a Success• November 2, 2011 Share:
Crawfordsville native and Wabash College senior Joe Reese premiered his documentary film Friday to a packed house in Korbe Classroom..
Reese, collaborating with Assistant Professor of Art Elizabeth Morton, directed a film on the life and work of African woodcarver Lamidi Olonade Fakeye, which has enjoyed screenings from Los Angeles to Washington and from Barbados to Nigeria, but made its debut in Crawfordsville Friday night.
Reese spent months researching Fakeye for the film, Lamidi Olonade Fakeye: The Life of a Master Carver, and documented the artist's residency at Wabash College. Reese, Morton, and biographer Bruce Haight will discuss the film immediately after the screening.
Reese's film was an "Official Selection" at the Africa World Documentary Festival 2011 and was named a "Pick List" event by Chicago Art Magazine in November 2010.
"After a productive and celebrated woodcarving career, Lamidi Fakeye passed away suddenly on Christmas Day 2009 in Nigeria," said Reese. "This documentary was filmed during Lamidi's final tour to the United States in October of 2009 and features his final interviews."
For the last several decades, Fakeye — a fifth generation Yoruba sculptor from Nigeria — was Africa's most renowned woodcarver as well as an international ambassador for African art.
With a backdrop of his stunning sculptures spanning nearly 70 years, Lamidi gives voice to the remarkable story of his life in Reese's documentary. Lamidi talks about his early days working with George Bamidele Areogun for Father Kevin Carroll at the Roman Catholic mission in Oye Ekiti, Nigeria, which led to national and international acclaim.
In the film Fakeye also discusses his life in France studying at the Paris Ecole de Beaux Arts and his many tours in the United States, which led to his career as a professor at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife. Throughout the documentary, friends and experts comment on Lamidi's life, career, and the significance of his art.
The film is narrated by Wabash theater professor Jim Cherry with original music by Wabash music professor James Makubuya. It was produced by Dr. Morton, and involved the talents of Wabash's Xumin Sun, Aaron Cantu, Paul Yangnan Liu, Kelvin Burzon, Adam Phipps, Adam Bowen, and Kristen Wilkins.

Microsoft released their brand new Xbox Live Vision camera to retail stores just this last Wednesday along with some updates to four different games so that you can actually use the thing as soon as you get it home. The games that make use of the new camera are as follows:
Bankshot Billiards
Hardwood Hearts
Hardwood Spades
Hardwood Backgammon
That last one is a free download with purchase of the camera; you'll find a code inside the package with instructions on how to get the game from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Of course, we love what we've seen of the camera so far, but it'll probably take some more meaty releases (like Rainbow Six Vegas, withwhich will use the Xbox Live Visionto incorporate your actual face into multiplayer games) to get us super excited about it.

Feel Good About Yourself!
907-696-0044 907-376-7433
COMPETITION DAY #1 - July 6, 2006 - Thursday
Everyone has weighed in successfully today. Miss Kara Bailey dropped a weight division. Miss Heidi Brehmer squeaked by with only a 0.2 lb margin and both Mr. Nick Morrison and Mr. Ryan Gildersleeve landed squarely in the middle of their divisions. Go Team!!
COMPETITION DAY #2 - July 7, 2006 - Friday
Miss Kara Bailey - Fought hard and even tried to fight while becoming "projectile-ly" sick. Unfortunately no medal for fighting or for her awesome Tae Beck.
Mr. Ryan Gildersleeve - Won his first fight easily and landed some great round kicks in the second, but didn't pull off the win. However, he won second place for the Tae Beck he performed.
Mr. Nick Morrison - Rip, roaring, and raring to go in the World Class Sparring Division. He destroyed his first opponent and was gearing up for the second when disaster struck. During the first exchange, not even 15 seconds into the match, he clashed opponent knee to his big toe and down he went. We hope it isn't broke... In between matches, Mr. Nick proved he can fight and do forms by winning third place with Tae Beck.
Miss Heidi Brehmer - When does she not fail to amaze? Miss Heidi, not qualified for the World Class Division this year, proved her talent by winning the entire Elite Open Division (easily) and moving on to the the World Class Division. She whupped her first opponent, but lost the second World Class match. But, did I mention that she made two opponents cry and one SLAPPED Heidi because Heidi frustrated her so much. Heidi ended that match with a two point head shot that achieved the seven (actually 8) point gap. She is our first competitor to win by point gap, our first to win by point ceiling, our first to win Elite Open to qualify for World Class, our first female to win a match in World Class, our first person to go into overtime and win, our first person to win after overtime by judges' decision, and our first competitor to score a two point head-shot in World Class. All that with barely breaking a sweat. Oh, and don't forget an amazing third place finish in forms after all that fighting. Of course, she did have to perform her form twice to break a tie in order to achieve her medal.
COMPETITION DAY #3 - July 8, 2006 - Saturday
Miss Caite Brunke - Can you say Tenacity! What heart. What energy. No medal for sparring this year, but she's already stoked for next year. However, she didn't lose any power as she easily outscored the majority of her group by performing a powerful Keum-Gang and winning third place. Whoa!
COMPETITION DAY #4 - July 9, 2006 - Sunday
Mrs. Amanda Garner - David vs Goliath. Young Miss Amanda stepped out to a competitor that looked at least a head taller than her. She gave it her all, but couldn't quite best her Amazonian opponent. Despite it all, she was able to bring home the bronze for Alaska in sparring.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 9-0 and the NFL's only undefeated team.
But how good are they, really?
We'll know a lot more Sunday when the Chiefs play at Denver in a pivotal AFC West showdown.
None of the teams the Chiefs have beaten have a winning record, but the Broncos are 8-1 and have Peyton Manning, who is in good position to win an unprecedented fifth most-valuable-player award.
Manning took a physical beating in Sunday's victory at San Diego and had an MRI exam on his sore right ankle Monday, but the examination revealed no new damage. He will start against the Chiefs.
"I'm pretty sore," Manning said Sunday. "They kind of got me twice in kind of that lower area."
Interim Denver Coach Jack Del Rio said Monday the Broncos sent those low hits to the league for clarification.
"We turned it in, thought it was questionable and they'll provide their answer," Del Rio said. "Of course, I won't share that with you, but that's just part of it. There are a number of plays throughout the game that you put in there and ask for clarification — that's one of them that we'll be looking for."
The Chiefs had Week 10 off, and Coach Andy Reid gave his players a break from practices. That's not to say they checked out entirely, though.
Said quarterback Alex Smith: "I think every guy in this locker room, in the back of their head [was] thinking about Denver."
Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said Monday that he expects Smith to play it safe and try to chip away at Denver's defense, rather than look for big plays.
"He's definitely a guy that, he doesn't want to make mistakes," Harris said. "He doesn't want to put their team in bad situations — kind of how [San Diego Chargers quarterback] Philip [Rivers] played yesterday. He kind of took the short pass, didn't really want to take a lot of shots. That's the kind of guy — people's game plan versus us now is to try and keep Peyton off the field."
State of shock
Indianapolis plays at Tennessee on Thursday night, and who would have dreamed both teams would be coming off losses?
The Colts were crushed by St. Louis, 38-8, and the Titans became the first team this season to lose to Jacksonville, falling at home, 29-27.
If the feeling of losing to the league's worst team is familiar to the Titans, it's because they lost to the 0-13 Colts two years ago.
"We've been part of this crap for the last three years — two years ago against the Colts, then the Jags last year and the Jags today," Tennessee tackle Michael Roos told reporters Sunday. "I don't know if guys think it's just gonna happen because of their record, but every Sunday there is an NFL you're playing in, despite what their record is."
The Colts still have a two-game lead in the AFC South, but they weren't making excuses after being pounded by the Rams.
"Certainly we're not going to bury our head in the sand on this past ballgame," Coach Chuck Pagano said Monday. "We'll address the issues like we always address them. We know there's things that need to be fixed and we'll go to work on fixing those things. Again, we have a short week. We don't have much time in front of us."
Quick return
Houston Coach Gary Kubiak was back to work Monday and is expected to coach the Texans in Sunday's home game against Oakland.
Kubiak suffered a mini-stroke while walking off the field at halftime of a game against the Colts eight days earlier, and sat out Sunday's game at Arizona. The Texans lost to the Cardinals, 27-24, with Wade Phillips filling in as coach.
Kubiak, 52, dropped in on practice Thursday. The Texans could use some inspiration. They have lost seven in a row since winning their first two games.
The last time the Raiders played at Houston was the day after owner Al Davis died, and that 2011 game proved to be an emotional victory for Oakland.
Bear down
Chicago plays host to Baltimore, and there's a good chance the Bears won't have quarterback Jay Cutler, who is week to week with a high ankle sprain. Coach Marc Trestman conceded Monday that he might have kept Cutler in too long Sunday in a loss to Detroit. Josh McCown has proved he's perfectly capable of running the Chicago offense and putting points on the board.
The Bears also lost cornerback Charles Tillman for at least the rest of the regular season. He suffered a triceps injury and Monday was placed on short-term injured reserve, meaning he would be eligible to return in eight weeks, which means he could come back only if the Bears were in the playoffs. At this point, that sounds like wishful thinking.
No mercy from Percy
As if the Minnesota Vikings haven't had enough headaches this season, now they have to prepare to face one of their old stars, receiver Percy Harvin.
It looks as if Harvin will make his debut with the 9-1 Seattle Seahawks on Sunday when they play host to his former team. He missed the first 10 games recovering from a torn hip muscle.
Safety dance
Who got the better safety in last spring's draft, San Francisco or New Orleans?
We probably won't be able to answer that Sunday when the 49ers play at the Saints, because both players could be sidelined with concussions. San Francisco's Eric Reid suffered his second reported concussion of the season Sunday on a big hit against Carolina. That night, New Orleans' Kenny Vaccaro took a knee to the head against Dallas.

Hermes Berline Bag For Fall Winter 2014 CollectionCategories:Other Brands
Launched in the Fall Winter 2011 Collection, the Hermes Berline Bag is made to 'cool' and 'sporty'. It's an accessory inspired by many Hermes Classic Bags – you can find a lot of similarities in the Evelyn bag and the Jypsiere bag, and it's even embellished with the iconic Kelly turnlock key, how irressistable!
The Berline Bag got a piece of everything – it's practical, it's sporty and it got a touch of elegance. And while a lot of designer bags look quite similar, the Berline is totally different! In fact, it is a tribute to motorsports, and if you didn't know yet, the lines you see below the Kelly turnlock key are inspired by the bucket seats found in racing cars.
And when that's not intriguing enough, they are available in a lot of colors and can be worn in all season. For the Spring Summer 2013 Collection, Hermes even introduced the Mini Berline (a smaller version) with longer strap so that you can finally wear it cross body.
On this post, we are going to share all the colors and the prices of the Fall Winter 2014 Collection, if the Berline Bag is on your wish list for the upcoming Christmas, well… get ready!
Hermes Berline Mini Bag in Swift

Planet Earth looks beautiful from space. So beautiful that a photo of our world taken by Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell inspired then 21-year-old Josh Simpson to begin a lifelong project: creating his own universe of brilliantly colored glass planets, complete with oceans, continents, volcanoes and clouds.
Since learning glassblowing at Goddard College, Simpson has made thousands of planets large and small, as well as tremendous glass platters that resemble the sun's corona, or Saturn and its rings. He has also crafted artificial meteorites that are physically and chemically similar to the real ones, embedded with glass inlays. The largest planets, a foot in diameter and weighing 50 pounds or more, are in the permanent collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Art, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Yale University Art Gallery and other institutions; many others have been in exhibitions such as the White House Collection of American Crafts USA Tour.
Simpson says his motivation "comes directly from the material itself. Glass is an alchemic blend of sand and metallic oxides combined with extraordinary, blinding heat." The result, he says, "is a material that flows and drips like honey. When it's hot, glass is alive. It moves gracefully and inexorably in response to gravity and centrifugal force. It possesses an inner light and transcendent radiant heat that makes it simultaneously one of the most frustrating—and one of the most rewarding—materials to work with. I attempt to coax it; all it wants to do is drip on the floor."
[View a slide show of Simpson's glass worlds]
Simpson does not use terms such as gravity and centrifugal force casually. He has mastered the science of glass in incredible detail. The features of his planets—the structures that are embedded in the larger glass orbs—are themselves composed of many bits of glass he has colored in his own furnaces under exacting conditions. "Different blue colors come from melting silver in the glass, under different oxidation rates that I can control," he explains. As he mixes more colored objects into the larger globes, the science becomes even more important. "Adding cobalt, say, to clear glass changes the glass's coefficient of expansion." Other additives will create bits that have other coefficients. "So if I'm using 50 or more colors of glass in one planet, I need a very careful recipe, or things could go wrong, sometimes explosively." At this point in his career, the 63-year-old also designs his own blast furnaces and tools.
The details in one of Simpson's planets can be stunning, as I saw firsthand last weekend when I visited an exhibit of his work at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Gallery 51 in North Adams, Mass., about a half-hour from Simpson's home in northwestern Massachusetts.
Glass chemistry so fascinates Simpson that he has also found a way to create artificial meteorites. His friend and former editor of Sky & Telescope magazine, Walter Houston, gave him a meteorite years ago. It was a tektite, a glass form of meteor fused from silica and metallic oxides. Another friend did a spectral analysis of the meteorite for Simpson, who then proceeded to create conditions in his furnaces that allowed him to make a similar kind of rock. "I realized the meteorite's composition was not that complicated," he says, so he melted materials according to the spectral formula. Simpson has made many artificial meteors since, turning them into objects d'art by inlaying colored glass.
The same mix of science and whimsy caught the attention of astronaut Catherine "Cady" Coleman during a chance meeting with Simpson. She would eventually become his second wife. Coleman spent six months on the international space station in 2011.
Coleman has also become a partner in crime in a global pastime pursued with Simpson's globes. In 1976 Simpson found some marbles on his property, which appeared to have been left there decades ago and yet were still as brilliant as ever, thanks to the long-lasting properties of glass. He began to make small glass planets, only a couple of inches across, and leave them in different places as artifacts. After he got his pilot's license, he would occasionally drop one out of the cockpit window over a random spot, to become part of the earth's buried treasure. He then got the notion to start the Infinity Project. Today, more than 1,700 people have hidden planets in locations around the globe. Some are meant to be discovered quickly, others are likely to remain hidden for centuries. "I hope future archaeologists will be confused about the meaning and purpose of the little spheres, wondering what they are and how they got there," Simpson says with a smile. His wife apparently has left one inside a shuttle, or shuttle launch bunker, or space station…
Always experimenting, Simpson's current focus is to make colloidal silver glass. When handled just right, silver can leave striations in glass "that look like those Hubble Telescope images of the birth of stars," Simpson says, excitedly. "I want to create that look. It is very complicated, mixing and melting silver, tin, copper, zinc and other metallic oxides in different combinations. But I am enjoying the challenge."

Hospital Visit/Preoperative Clinic
Hospital Visit/Preoperative Clinic
Can my child visit the hospital before surgery?
You may request for you and your child to visit and tour the facility before surgery. Touring the hospital before surgery can help your child see the sights, sounds, and events he or she will experience the day of surgery. It is a nonthreatening, often reassuring, way to learn about the hospital.
If you have questions about how to address your child's particular needs in preparing for surgery, ask if a child life specialist is available to talk to you and your family. Preoperative education for children may also be available from a child life specialist who can explain what will happen, and why, in terms your child can understand. Child life specialists can also be helpful in assisting siblings to prepare for the changes in their routine. They can also help siblings to express their feelings about the separation from their brother or sister.
Contact the hospital for more information.
What is the preoperative clinic?
The preoperative clinic makes sure that your child is ready for his or her scheduled surgery. Please bring your insurance information and a list of all medicines your child is taking. If preadmission lab work is ordered by your child's healthcare provider, it will be collected at this time. You will also meet with an anesthesiologist. He or she will ask questions about your child's medical history, medicines, and allergies. The anesthesiologist will be able to address any concerns or questions you have about anesthesia. If your child has had any problems with surgery or anesthesia in the past, please let the hospital staff know during this preoperative visit.
What will my child need to do before we return to the hospital for surgery?
When you leave the preoperative clinic, you will be given written instructions to follow. Make sure you understand all of them before leaving the clinic. Instructions will include when your child can eat or drink before coming to the hospital, and if he or she should take any of his or her usual medicines. When returning for surgery, bring any security items your child needs. These could include a favorite stuffed animal, blanket, or pacifier.
Please understand the instructions about eating and drinking presurgery before you and your child leave the preoperative clinic. If your child does not follow the eating and drinking instructions before surgery, it will cause the surgery to be postponed.

Now, let's think about what we have learned so far about animals. From the white ewe that recognises her baby from its odour to the zebra that has a distinctive pattern and symmetry, you have learned many things about animals. However, the most important knowledge this book has provided you is that it is Allah Who has granted all these features to these animals.
As all the examples throughout the book have shown, Allah, the Creator of all living beings on earth, has also taught them how to survive. Sometimes, Allah gives some of this information to the living beings at birth.
For example, while you are reading these lines, you know that you have to keep your eyes open. But for you to see, it does not suffice to know that you need to keep your eyes open. Your eyes have to perform many operations at the same time. You may liken this to a computer game; to start the game, you need only to push the start button, which is a command that starts many complex operations in the computer. Meanwhile, what happens to you is that you sit on your comfortable chair and enjoy the game. Just as a computer could not have come into existence spontaneously, so it is with the components forming the eye. As is the case of all other beings, it is Allah Who has created our eyes and bodies flawlessly.
Our Lord, the Owner of infinite knowledge, has presented you all your physical features at birth, which makes a healthy life possible. That is why, we ought to be grateful to Him for these gifts.
As a person of wisdom learns more about the creation of Allah, his faith in Him becomes deeper and he reveres His might and power more. Actually even a single feature of a creature immediately reminds us of Allah. Not only living beings, but also everything surrounding us and all events that take place provide concrete evidence of Allah's existence. This important fact is stressed in a verse as follows:
In the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky – by which He brings the earth to life when it was dead and scatters about in it creatures of every kind – and the varying direction of the winds, and the clouds subservient between heaven and earth, there are Signs for people who use their intellect. (Surat al-Baqara: 164)
You must also reflect on these facts and never forget the infinite might of Allah, our Lord, and that it is Allah Who gives us all the favours we cherish.
Always keep in mind that all the beauties you see around you exist because Allah creates them.

by Rose A. Valenta
It's been a difficult day at the office and you're exhausted. Your eyes hurt from working on a computer all day, not to mention the crimp in your neck and back, and sore Maxine (escape key) finger.
You turn on the evening news to find out that all sorts of crazy things are happening in our world. Terrorists are trying to kill us, our Vice President made another gaffe at an important event, our political pundits are calling for impeachment, a famous designer has introduced a line of bullet-proof clothing, another politician has gotten himself involved in a sex scandal, PETA is making yet another smoker ad, a scientist wants to give Galileo a posthumous eye test on a stimulus grant, and the term "Brangelina" now refers to a gay variety show at the Boston Roxy; you know that because your 10-year-old grandson told you.
You try to find out if your v-chip works for news programming, as the kids are doing homework in front of the TV. They are not asking about protractors and math manipulatives.
You could describe the way you feel as "punch drunk," only there are no Marquess of Queensberry rules here.
You get into bed feeling warm and cozy; your significant other is snoring loudly at your side. Icicles are forming outside. You fluff your pillows, turn on the heating blanket, set the alarm, and insert the ear-plugs - all is right with your world.
Then, at around 3:00 am, at the very beginning of your crucial Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep (the three-hour sound sleep window that keeps people from going crazy), you begin dreaming about soaking in a hot tub, you wake up suddenly before you pee yourself, make a mad dash into the bathroom, quickly squat, and find yourself - sitting on cold porcelain.
Realizing that the culprit is still sleeping soundly in the next room, totally unaware of your predicament, and probably dreaming about lunch with the guys at Hooters, you scream loudly, as if to wake up the dead or at least that slug stuck in a salt ring.
He comes running into the bathroom, completely naked and wild-eyed with a Colt 45, ready to protect his damsel in distress. He looks around quickly like a buck protecting his turf. He almost pees on the wall to mark it; then, he looks down and spots a puddle of water and his damsel, who is stuck in the commode.
You, his damsel, begin to spew a Dennis Miller monologue, worse than anything he has ever heard on the O'Reilly Factor, he aims, and you karate chop him. The weapon falls into the commode. It can't rust, so he stays up for an hour cleaning it out and oiling it. You are still beating his ear an hour into REM sleep. Both of you are red-eyed, resembling vampires. You go back to bed. There is still an hour left.
No, this is not a sneak preview of the next Super Bowl prize-winning GEICO caveman commercial. Some people call it Murphy's Law every time things go wrong. I feel justified calling it "Sitting on Cold Porcelain."

I wore a shirt one day with a machine gun silhouette
Sportin' a rainbow clip
I had this gun guy staring at me
Wondering where I got it
And he just about flipped over it!
I don't know his name, yeah, but just the same
He buys a literal mountain of death
And I lost 5 or 6 bidding wars against him
Yeah, until I had no money left
I said until I had no money left
Yeah, until I had no money left
I don't want you getting hurt if you're too disappointed
If the feathers are broken and dead
The birds look good in person
But not in the photos
And super vice versa, I bet!
I've seen the auctioneer getting pretty frustrated
If something good gets under bid
When I went down there
I got pretty damned suspicious
But he seems like a pretty good kid
Yeah, he seems like a pretty good kid
Well, he seems like a pretty good kid!
This joint's been around for a while
And it feels like the same old crowd each time
But there's always that chance
Of a shill biddin' trucker
Trying to help the old man make a dime
There's one gun guy coming straight out of Texas
Doesn't keep not one for himself
He's got a kingdom of gun shops
He likes to decorate 'em
With the trophies of somebody else
Yeah, the trophies of somebody else
Well, the trophies of somebody else!

A Few Comments From Mike Lowell
I had a great chat with Mike Lowell before Sunday's game in Columbus. I plan to do a full blog entry later, but here are a couple of the questions and answers that I thought I would post right away:
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
You were 4-for-4 last night with 3 doubles – that would seem to a strong statement that this rehab isn't going to take very long.
Well, I hope not. We have the next 4 or 5 days mapped out and I think with each at-bat I have been feeling better. I hadn't seen live pitching in over a month so the ball tends to get on you pretty quickly. But once you realize the pace of live pitching and just get your foot down and get ready – I feel like my swing mechanically is pretty good, so it's just a matter of the adjustments that you have to make during the course of a game.
How does your hip feel on a daily basis? Does it ache when you get up? Do you know when it's going to rain?
I'm not sure I should comment on that one. I've come to realize that there are anti-inflamatory drugs that I have to take in order to feel somewhat comfortable. When I don't take them, I notice there's a stiffness – like you said – when I get up or if I've been sitting down for awhile. I think once I move around it kind of goes away. The good thing is that it's never bothered me rotationally. I can throw, I can hit – none of that stuff has really bothered me, even at its worst point pre-surgery. I think now after the surgery, I just don't have a lot of cartilage in that area so I get that bone-on-bone pounding – that's the most uncomfortable part of it. Hopefully if I can monitor that and still be able to produce at the plate, I can get by.
Could you see yourself being content as a bench guy down the road?
Absolutely not – I'll retire before I do that. I realize that winning and being able to put up consistent numbers satisfies me. To be a bench guy I think you need to be one of two things – I think you either need to be really fast or have above-average power, because you can get away with hitting .230 or .240 if you hit 10 or 12 home runs in limited at-bats. I'm neither one, and if I'm on a team I want to be playing. I don't enjoy sitting and watching it. The role thing – once every 9 or 10 days – is not something that I look forward to or feel like I want to do.

So It's Come To This: Seven High School Students Arrested For Throwing... Water Balloons
from the overreaction-is-our-only-reaction,-which-always-starts-off-a-chain-reaction deptThe weather's (mostly) hot. School's almost out. And what better way to celebrate summer being almost here than being arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for throwing water balloons.
Hail academia, forever teaching our youth that anything and everything will be punished to the fullest extent of the law, even childhood hijinks our parents would have approved of, if only they weren't so busy being arrested themselves.
Seven teenage students in North Carolina were arrested on Thursday and charged with a misdemeanor for throwing water balloons during a school prank. A parent was also arrested during the incident.You've got to respect the uniform -- even if that uniform is a 50/50 polyester/ugly blend. If other students, teachers and administration staff get hit, that's a
The seven boys, all between the ages of 16 and 17, threw balloons filled with tap water as an end-of-year prank at Enloe High School in Raleigh. The balloons were rumored to be filled with "other substances," but Wake County Public School System spokeswoman Renee McCoy said "all indications" were that only water was used.
Six of the teens were charged with disorderly conduct. The seventh was charged with assault and battery for hitting a school security officer with a balloon.
Kevin Hines, the parent who was arrested, was just acting out of concern for a student's wellbeing. No good deed goes unpunished, not when we're sending cops after kids armed with water balloons.
Kevin Hines said saw Raleigh police officers acting aggressively towards a student they were arresting when he drove up to the school.Swell. An unarmed parent who's concerned that someone (NOT A COP) might get hurt is handcuffed, threatened with a taser and charged for "causing trouble," which apparently goes on the books as "second degree trespassing."
"Being lifted up by the neck and taken down hard," Hines said.
Hines said he tried to intervene was but was told he didn't know the whole story. Hines complied and said he wished to speak to the principal.
"You're just trying to cause trouble. Get out," Hines said an officer told him.
Hines said he then attempted to talk to a lieutenant but was approached by two officers and threatening with a TASER. Hines said he told the officers that wasn't necessary.
"They arrested me on grounds of trespassing," Hines said. "So, they put cuffs on me and carried me away."
Another parent is "causing trouble" as well, although this might be the kind of trouble that sticks:
The mother of an Enloe High School student has filed a complaint with the Raleigh Police Department after an officer threw her son to the ground Thursday as police responded to a water balloon battle at the school.Call me naive, but I never thought I'd ever read a sentence this incongruous in my life: "...as police responded to a water balloon battle..." Tase me. Tase me now, lord. At least it wasn't a water pistol fight. Martial law would have been declared and the National Guard called in.
Here's the school's official statement on the "event."
Renee McCoy, a representative of Wake County Public Schools, said they rely on the training of the Raleigh Police Department in these situations. "We leave those decisions up to Raleigh PD," McCoy said.Punt.
Seven kids with misdemeanors on their records ("released on bail" -- I am not kidding) for throwing weaponized water. I'm not really sure what schools are teaching kids at this point -- that every minor infraction must be dealt with swiftly and brutally? That violating school policies is a criminal offence? Whatever they're trying to teach by jettisoning critical thinking and replacing it with zero tolerance cops on speed dial, it's not getting through. All students are going to learn is that school administration has farmed out its disciplinary responsibilities to a variety of humorless, uniformed thugs -- some private, some public -- and that there really is no crime too small.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (PG-13)
Under the watch of S.H.I.E.L.D., the government agency at which he reservedly works, the planet's nearly been destroyed six times in four years. No wonder bigwig Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is rushing the launch of three massive drones programmed to neutralize threats before they attack. Fury warns that the 21st century's battle lines are no longer as obvious as WWII's. Cap's either with S.H.I.E.L.D. or against it, and soon, some of S.H.I.E.L.D. decides its against him.
The script is solid, and the fight scenes are excellent. The Winter Soldier is the first Marvel film in forever that doesn't climax with heroes mowing down a horde of non-human nobodies. This is bone on bone on that vibranium shield, which thwangs satisfyingly as it ricochets around before conking a villain — Cap's like a pool shark plunking the eight-ball. Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow seduces him, only half-successfully, to join the modern age. Marvel doesn't consider her important or male enough to earn a love interest herself, but even if she never gets to have any sex, the camera certainly makes love to her.

Are the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns suddenly in a stare down over quarterback Matt Schaub?
Less than an hour after the Browns released Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell on Wednesday, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Schaub is a candidate to end up in Cleveland, where he would be reunited with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
Minutes later, the Houston Chronicle's John McClain reported that the Texans are keeping Schaub "for a while." It's a reversal from six days ago, when McClain tweeted that he would be "stunned" if the team holds on to Schaub.
McClain also opined that Schaub is better than any quarterback who "was or is on the market" and that Schaub is "not going anywhere anytime soon."
Translation: With a vacancy at the top of the quarterback depth chart and no pressing salary-cap issues, the Texans are not in a hurry to do the Browns any favors. If they can wrangle a late-round draft pick out of the process, all the better.
The smart money is still on Schaub taking the field in a different uniform for the 2014 season opener.
Despite McClain's proclamation to the contrary, the 32-year-old is far from a lock to land a starting job wherever he lands. An abject disaster last year, Schaub hasn't played like a quarterback who trusts his arm since the middle of the 2012 season.

How to Use
In 1890, at the age of six, Harry Truman and his family moved to Independence, Missouri, the county seat of Jackson County. After graduating from high school in 1901, he went to work in nearby Kansas City. Five years later, he left city life behind to help on the 600-acre family farm in Grandview, Missouri. After serving in World War I from 1917 to 1919, he returned home to Independence to marry Bess Wallace. He began his political career in 1922 as eastern Jackson County judge. He went on to become a United States Senator, Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelt, and finally President. The home he shared with his wife at 219 Delaware Street served as the Summer White House during his presidency as well as his place of retirement. Both Mr. and Mrs. Truman are buried on the grounds of the nearby Truman Presidential Museum and Library.
1. Locate Independence on Map 1 and 2. How would you describe its location?
2. Locate Kansas City and Grandview (labeled Truman Farm) on Map 1 and 2. What connection did Harry Truman have with each place? Based on Map 2, approximately how far is each from the Truman Home in Independence?
3. What advantages might living in Independence have offered Truman as he began a political career?
4. Based on what you have learned about Truman's life so far, what evidence have you found of his love for Independence?
* The maps on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Map 1 and Map 2, but be aware that each file may take as much as 15 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

I always loved that MOTU universe was very anachronistic. We can see together people from the barbarian ages together with sci-fi technology. MOTU also includes knights, ninjas and cowboys.
When I was young I liked the Bravestarr figures but I passed on them because they weren´t MOTU staff. Now I see that they have a great potential and they can fit very well on MOTUC. Mattel is the owner of the toyline, so is very easy to expand the western MOTU toys.

iPad 2 Disrupts Again...With a Cover
As would be expected, 1 year after the release of iPad, the disruptive new product that changed the computer industry for good, Apple has introduced iPad 2. The changes were mostly what you'd expect: faster CPU/GPU, front and rear cameras, thinner, lighter, etc. etc.
But there was one other little disruptive introduction: the iPad Smart Cover
Apple - Smart Cover - Cover up, stand up, and brighten up your iPad.:
"The Smart Cover and iPad 2 were made for each other. Literally. Built-in magnets draw the Smart Cover to iPad for a perfect fit that not only protects, but?also wakes up, stands up, and brightens up your iPad. That?s not just smart. It?s genius."
If you haven't seen this yet, it's worth going to the Apple site and watching the video. This $39 (for Polyurethane version) or $69 (for Leather) product is disruptive enough to become a $100 Million+ product for Apple, but more importantly, it's disruptive enough for users to go with an iPad tablet over competing tablets just because of the awesome cover.
Who would have thought that covers or cases had so much room for improvement?

The folks at Gordon Biersch Brewery have a passion. Surprisingly, despite the name, it's not just for beer (though their German lagers will keep aficionados busy).
Instead, their brand is defined by craft: From brew to food to cocktail and anywhere in between, the newly opened Harbor East restaurant believes in made-from-scratch, small-batch meals and beverages that customers can get excited about. Though handcrafted beer is their first love, Gordon Biersch brewery aims to "up the ante" with their drink program as well, elevating it to craft-level by infusing quality brands, fresh flavors, and sustainable products into their cocktails. The Veev Mule, a modern twist on the classic Moscow Mule, is a refreshing example of what happens when a craft brew pub makes a great stiff drink.
The [Veev] Mule "smacks you in the face," quipped Stuart Melia, vice President of beverage. But truthfully, he's not far off. Fresh mint, lime and ginger ale give it an incredibly aromatic nose. But the drink really delivers unique flavor from the main ingredient, Veev Acai Liqueur, a spirit made entirely of the berry. The result is a mellow little cocktail, a bit sweet, a bit spicy — well-balanced and sparkling.
Sound a little too light for a brewery experience? Not if you're not into beer, like me. In fact, I was incredibly excited to see a full menu of eleven cocktail offerings, made with premium liquor like Hendrick's Gin and Tito's Vodka.
Melia notes that the Veev Mule has been their most successful crossover at other Gordon Biersch chains because of the accessibility of the ingredients. "Men are attracted to the ginger-based spirits from ordering bourbon drinks, while women really take to the antioxidant trend of the acai," he said. "It's really a drink for any taste group."
How to Make The Veev Mule
11/4 oz. Veev Acai Liqueur
6 large mint leaves (torn in half)
1 lime wedge (squeeze and drop in glass)
Muddle all ingredients in a serving glass. Fill with ice and ginger ale. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Where to Get The Veev Mule

I studied Kenpo Karate under Florentino S. Pancipanci when I lived at Hickam Air Force Base. He taught at the adult recreation center. He also taught Tai Chi Chuan.
I remember one day that he gave a lecture about how everthing was connected. This was during a Tai Chi class, so we were wearing white T-shirts and black silky pants. He told us to look at the white T-shirts we wore.
He explained that the T-shirts might have been purchased from a store here in Hawaii, but the store purchased them from a factory in China that had made them. The factory had to purchase the cotton from farmers, who grew the cotton from seeds they may have purchased from a seed store. The farmers had planted the seeds in the ground, applied fertilier and water, used equipment -- all coming from different places.
The T-shirts also had printing. Again, the printing had to be done at the factory, but the factory had to purchase the ink from someone else. The ink might have been made from chemicals that, if you went far enough back, had been mined from the land. The ink had been applied using machines comprised of many parts made all around the world.
You could apply the same analysis to just about everthing. All things came from sources all around the world.
In the case of our shirts, the cotton had grown under the sunlight and water of a foreign land.
If you thought about it, were were surrounded by things from around the world, and if you traced each of these things back to their sources, there would literally be no end.
So a shirt was not just a shirt. It was so much more.
I took this to mean that we should appreciate the things around us. Each thing was the result of a process that spanned time and space.
If things are so special, how much more special are the people we meet.
In a similar way, the Karate we practice the is result of a process that spans time and space. Who could possibly know all the people (over the generations) and places that lead to the techniques and kata that we practice each day?
We should not take things for granted.

The Detroit Pistons have started their season virtually in every game they've played so far, yet their slow-to-start offense and defensive worries in the back-court have left them without any victories to show for it.
Off to their worst start in Pistons franchise history (0-8), something has to change for a Pistons team set to face the "New-Look" Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night from Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia.
The losing streak continued with Monday's 92-90 loss to the former Western Conference Champion, Oklahoma City Thunder, who recently handed Detroit its sixth loss of the season last Friday. The Pistons, at one point, looked ready to receive their first win until their defense broke down late in the game. The Thunder started charging and took back the lead with a 17-2 run in the fourth quarter while outscoring the Pistons, 30-17, in the fourth quarter to squeeze out a tight win.
"The effort has been there both times we've played Oklahoma City. We understand the fire power they have, but now we have to understand we need to come with that same mindset playing against these other teams," Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince said following the loss. "No matter who we play, we have to play with this type of aggression throughout the game."
Philadelphia has also had its woes against stronger teams around the NBA. The Sixers produced a three-game winning streak that ended up being halted in Monday's 105-96 setback to Brandon Jennings and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jennings impelled a season-best 33 points and added eight assists and five rebounds to lift the Bucks over the Sixers late in the fourth quarter. Let's not forget Monta Ellis who also added 18 points, seven assists and five boards to the dominating effort.
The 76ers were led again led from the progression of Jrue Holiday, who poured in 25 points and six assists. Eleven year veteran and former Michigan State Spartans standout, Jason Richardson, returned to the rotation after missing four games with a left ankle sprain and scored 20 points for Philadelphia (10 in the first quarter) and showed off his athleticism with an emphatic 360 jam.
"We did some good things but Jennings was just fabulous tonight," Sixers coach Doug Collins said after the final minutes of the contest. "We weren't able to overcome our mistakes. We just couldn't finish it out."
Just like the Pistons, the Sixers also fell twice to the same opponent before facing the Bucks. The Sixers lost two double-digit deficits to the hot-shooting New York Knicks before going on a three-game winning streak on the road. So the teams both have seen some adversity to start their seasons, one more than the other of course.
In other Sixers updates, it was announced new center Andrew Bynum would be cleared to carry on "basketball activities" by Dec. 10. He will begin more conditioning exercises to get him ready for the season 1-4 weeks later. Sixers fans may see him by New Year's if lucky.
"We know that Sixers fans are eager to see Andrew Bynum play and shine in a 76ers uniform," New 76ers general manager Tony DiLeo said in an interview. "We also know that no one is more eager to see Andrew play for the Sixers than Andrew himself. He fully realizes the key contribution he can make to the team. Hopefully, that day is coming soon."
As far as the Pistons and Sixers are concerned, the Sixers closed out the 2011-12 regular season with a 108-86 loss at Detroit, but were 3-1 in the season series. Detroit is on a two-game losing streak at the Wells Fargo Center and has only won one game in the last four meetings with the Sixers.
If the statistics prove to be true, the Pistons will be walking off the court with an 0-9 record and continue to be a staple of mediocrity in the NBA today.
With problems in the backcourt, Rodney Stuckey inactive for Wednesday night's game, this may be a walk in the park for an explosive 76ers team looking to avenge their loss against the Bucks.

I've now read most of the 200-page report outlining the doping evidence against 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
I suppose there is still a very small possibility that Armstrong is telling the truth about never having doped (anything's possible).
But based on the evidence in the report, that possibility is very, very small.
More likely, as the USADA concluded, Armstrong built, managed, and enforced a systematic doping program for the US Postal Service team and doped himself every year in which he won the Tour de France.
And then, yes, lied about it for more than a decade.
Given how much has come out about this era of pro cycling, this news isn't shocking: Most (all?) of the top riders in that era appear to have doped. And as many of Armstrong's teammates have since said, you simply couldn't have remained competitive if you didn't dope.
What would have been shocking would have been if Lance Armstrong had told a persuasive story explaining how he won 7 Tours racing clean while everyone he was racing against, and most of his teammates, were doping.
I was willing and eager to hear that story.
But Armstrong chose not to tell it.
Rather, Armstrong chose to do what he has always done when confronted with increasingly conclusive evidence of his doping: Attack the accusers and portray himself as a victim.
I believe that if Armstrong had been wrongly accused, he would have told his story. He still might have lost his case--the evidence against him is so overwhelming that any defense would be very hard to believe--but he would have had nothing to lose by telling his story and getting it out there.
So I regard Armstrong's decision not to tell his story as further evidence that he did what most reasonable people now think he did.
And that brings us to what Armstrong should do now that the evidence has been released.
Based on the aggressive and defiant statement he issued when he announced that he would not fight the doping charges, Armstrong still believes that he is the one who has been wronged.
That's absurd.
The revelation that "everyone was doing it" explains why everyone on Armstrong's team doped, but that doesn't make it right. And as is clear in the lengths Armstrong's team went to to hide their doping, they knew it wasn't right. But, unlike Armstrong, Armstrong's teammates eventually chose to tell their stories anyway and accept the consequences.
I'm still hopeful that, someday, Armstrong, too, will decide to tell his story and accept the consequences (which, in his case, could include major financial damage and, possibly, perjury charges related to statements he made while testifying under oath in a lawsuit with a sponsor).
Given all Armstrong has overcome in his life, and everything he has accomplished, I have no doubt that he could overcome the consequences of telling his story. And he would he could end up being an even more inspiring role model and human being if he did.
Based on Armstrong's recent statement, he doesn't appear to be anywhere close to doing that.
But if he's not going to tell his story, Armstrong could still do one thing that would mark a small but meaningful step toward redemption.
He could apologize to the many people he savaged and attacked over the years for telling their stories and accepting the consequences.
In the "doping era" of professional cycling, it is now clear, you did not just have to agree to break the rules.
And Armstrong was brutal to those who broke that tacit agreement.
Who were the people Armstrong savaged over the years?
- Many of his former teammates and friends, including Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis.
- The wife of one of his teammates, Betsy Andreu.
- A former team "soigneur," Emma O'Reilly
- Former champion cyclist Greg LeMond
- Other professional cyclists
- The head of the US Anti-Doping Agency, Travis Tygart
- A journalist named David Walsh, who was one of the first to write extensively about the doping story
- And others
As the USADA evidence makes clear, all these people had very good reason to believe that Armstrong doped, that Armstrong insisted that his teammates dope, and that Armstrong hired and managed the doctors and managers who established the systematic US Postal Service doping program that helped all of them dope.
If, somehow, all these people were wrong about Armstrong--or "misremembered" events and conversations--they can be forgiven for doing so. As the USADA's report makes clear, the appearance of impropriety was overwhelming.
No one deserves to be savaged for telling the truth, especially when the story is, in some cases, forced out of them with the threat of prosecution.
So, whether or not Armstrong actually doped, he owes these people an apology.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Brandon Weeden kept his starting job on his 30th birthday. Some might call that an undeserved gift.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Monday that he is staying with Weeden as his starter despite the inexcusable interception he threw in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 31-17 loss to Detroit.
''This was one game,'' Chudzinski said. ''I thought that Brandon played well in spurts and at times he obviously made critical mistakes.
''It's just not one guy.''
With the Browns trailing 24-17, Weeden, trying to avoid being sacked while under pressure from Lions defensive tackle C.J. Mosley, inexplicably flipped the ball backhanded toward fullback Chris Ogbonnaya near Detroit's sideline. The shocking attempt was picked off by Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy, all but sealing Detroit's comeback win.
Weeden called the play ''bone-headed.''
Chudzinski didn't use that adjective, but he didn't think the gaffe warranted benching Weeden for backup Jason Campbell, either. In fact, Chudzinski said he and his staff did not even discuss the possibility of making a switch and Weeden will start Sunday in Green Bay.
''It's never just about one play or person to assign blame,'' Chudzinski said. ''We all can be better.''
So the Browns won't toss Weeden aside.
Weeden's mistake may have been Cleveland's costliest, but it certainly wasn't the Browns' only one. They were outscored 24-0 in the second half by the Lions, who capitalized on mismatches with running back Reggie Bush; forced Weeden to rush his throws; and scored on four of five possessions after halftime.
Weeden is an easy target for media members and fans, but Chudzinski said there was plenty of blame to apply evenly throughout Cleveland's roster.
''Anytime you're talking about offense there's a lot of different people and moving parts involved and it takes 11 guys to be successful,'' Chudzinski said. ''We're playing well at times and at times we're not playing so well. I think that when you look at it, Brandon is doing some good things and it's really just a matter of cutting out the critical mistakes.''
Weeden, who hit the big 3-0 on Monday, was back in the starting lineup because Brian Hoyer sustained a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter on Oct. 3 against Buffalo. Cleveland's offense ran more efficiently with Hoyer, who made fast decisions and got rid of the ball quicker than Weeden.
And although benching Weeden may have been popular with a segment of Cleveland fans, linebacker Craig Robertson said Browns players are behind him.
''He's our quarterback,'' said Robertson, the only starter in the locker room during a 45-minute period open to reporters. ''You can't toss and turn quarterbacks every week. We've got to stick with him and rally behind him. He's our quarterback.''
Chudzinski said it's difficult to pinpoint the reasons behind Weeden's uneven performances. He can go from making an accurate 30-yard throw one play to forcing a pass into tight coverage on the next. But the bottom line is that he's not making sound choices.
''It really just boils down to those critical decisions,'' Chudzinski said. ''The mistakes that he made yesterday, I know he wants them back and would like to have them back, but there are mistakes from other guys there, too. At times we didn't have anybody open and he was trying to find somebody.''
The Browns signed Campbell as a free agent in March, bringing the eight-year veteran in to challenge Weeden. Campbell, who has made 71 career starts for Washington, Oakland and Chicago, played well during the exhibition season but was passed over by Hoyer after Weeden sprained his right thumb in Week 2.
Last week, Campbell admitted it ''stung'' to be leapfrogged by Hoyer, who had been third on Cleveland's depth chart since training camp.
Chudzinski said Campbell remains an option, not the one right now.
''There's nothing blocking that,'' Chudzinski said of Campbell. ''I feel good about Jason.
''This was one game. We have to really just work on those critical errors.''
NOTES: Chudzinski said the Browns will send a tape of LB Quentin Groves' roughing-the-passer penalty on Lions QB Matthew Stafford to the league office for a clarification. Groves' infraction on third down with 3:01 left gave Detroit a first down and the Lions scored three plays later to make it 31-17. ... In three losses, the Browns have been outscored 55-3, but Chudzinski downplayed any lack of halftime adjustments. ''You do things as the game goes on,'' Chudzinski said. ''So some of that's overrated in terms of what you're doing.''

With the new year comes a new look for 'Over thy dead body': The Cemetery Blog. You'll notice that the forest green background has been replaced by an 'In Memoriam' easel which stands at the foot of a grave in the Prospect Cemetery at Glasnevin, Dublin, and the overall colour theme has changed. I've chosen to use the easel image as my new background because the posts on this blog serve as a memorial of sorts for those whose graves are featured within. Over the next while I will be making further changes to the blog, such as creating additional pages, and moving elements around. Today I've included the W.H. Auden poem 'Funeral Blues' which I presented in the very first post on this blog. I hope you enjoy reading the poem, and I hope you'll let me know what you think of the new background.
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
©W.H. Auden 1936

I was an original Cincy Loser. Now, when it comes to weight loss, I'm really just a loser. I completely gave up.
In 2007, I put on tons of weight due to several deaths in the family. So in 2008, I got myself a trainer, worked out with her diligently for 6 mos, all in an attempt to lose the funeral weight. I even ate better.
NOTHING HAPPENED. Seriously, getting a trainer was not the best use of my time or money. She never taught me the things I wanted to know (like how to correctly use the machines instead of how to modify the machines in ways she thought were better) and I neither lost weight nor gained muscle. She was a great person though, and currently the head trainer at my old gym.
I was ballroom dancing once a week too, but that (which I'm still doing) is an incredible amount of fun but not necessarily always challenging to my muscles. Ballroom dancing is now more of a stress reliever for me than a way to exercise.
I started traveling again in late 2008 and truthfully, I haven't really stopped. Staying healthy and traveling is a really hard thing to do, and I'm a big sucker when it comes to being lazy.
Where does that leave me? Way too overweight and not happy about it.
I've had this weird flirtation going on with my bicycle for a year. Last year, I was amazingly inspired by my friend Jen, who has become a cycling goddess in less than 2 years. I got my poor dusty bike out of storage. I have a nice bike, a fancy Cannondale purchased for me about 15 years ago. 15 years ago I rode it twice before I decided that I was afraid of cars.
So, I stared at my bike for the last year. In June, before a 3-week round of travel, I dropped off my bike at the shop for a tune-up, cobwebs, rotted tires, and all. The cycle guys just stared at me then made fun of the cobwebs.
I picked the thing up - tuned up, new wheels, and shiny - on July 2, the day after I returned home from my trip, and proceeded to stare at it for two weeks. I made up all sorts of excuses, which included buying a bike lock and a helmet, amongst other things I don't need.
Monday I got on the bike. I have such a huge fear of cars and I'm terribly out of shape, so this was a pretty big deal. I rode around 2 blocks in my neighborhood, coming in at .94 mi. When I came back on Monday, I walked into my kitchen and fell down. My legs were - without exaggeration - jelly. I downed several bottles of water and dragged myself to the couch. By the end of Monday, my abs were hurting, my back muscles, and my shoulders and arms (from clutching the handles for dear life).
Tuesday I made myself get back on the bike and do it again - same route. I was still a little jelly when I came back, but I didn't collapse. My abs hurt less and I think I actually relaxed a little in my upper body.
Yesterday I was downtown all day, so there was no way I could have ridden the bike. But today I made myself get back on the damned thing and I rode 1.30 mi. (I added a block.) I know it's not much. I have friends who regularly ride 70-100 miles every weekend and here I am cheering about a mile and a quarter. But I'm so terribly out of shape ... Tomorrow I'm adding another block, I think. Or I might keep the same distance and change up the route. It's not all flat either. I hadn't realized how many gently sloping hills we had around here. (Hell going up, but fun coming down.)
I have it in my head that I can do this. I want to be able to ride to the grocery store - and back - which is 4 miles roundtrip and I want to do it by the end of summer. It's a physical challenge for me - and a mental one. There are a helluva lot of cars between me and the grocery store.
I also desperately need to find a gym. Near me, there is an LA Fitness, a Better Bodies, and an Urban Active. I want to do a free week at each and make up my mind. I hate gyms with a passion because I prefer to be alone when I work out. If I had a spot in my house for an elliptical machine, you would never ever find me at a gym. Picking out a gym is hard; making me go to one is about like pulling teeth.
My ultimate goal? Well, I'm not really looking at this in pounds or inches any more. I want my clothes to fit better and I want to feel better about myself. I also have promised myself a reward.
I love Seattle and our own Cincy Loser Laura has moved out there and is an avid cyclist. There's a town near Seattle called Skagit Valley that each spring erupts in tulips. If I can keep cycling, and stay in shape over the winter, I want to fly out to see Laura next spring and take a ride through the tulips. That's my reward.
