DANCING WITH THE STARS Season 13 Recap: J.R. Martinez dances off with mirror ball
By PAMELA HARLAND 11/23/2011
Stars: Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: Nov. 22, 2011 In an exciting finale to a nail-biting season, DANCING WITH THE STARS completes season 13 with J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff being crowned the DWTS champions! At times, throughout the season, it seemed Martinez had that mirror ball trophy all to himself, but a few guffaws and an injured ankle led some to speculate maybe his clenching that coveted award wasn't such a sure thing after all. In the end, it all worked out for the war veteran and now part-time actor as […]Read On »
TV Review and Recap: DANCING WITH THE STARS – Season 13 – "The Finals"
Stars: Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: November 21st, 2011 Before you know it – Bam! It's here already – the DANCING WITH THE STARS: Season 13 finals, or as Derek Hough may put it, just another day on the dance floor. Hough has made the finals four times with three wins. If he and partner Ricki Lake win tomorrow he will have won the mirror ball trophy a record four times and he will have never lost in the finals. However, that's a big "if". He and Lake have stiff competition with […]Read On »

Stars: Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: Nov. 15th, 2011 No one was surprised tonight when high scores deprived struggling couple Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovskiy were booted off DANCING WITH THE STARS during Week 9 of Season 13. The judges had let them know with their low scores that they wanted them to go next and well, Solo and Chmerkovskiy "very" vocally acknowledged that this week. Chmerkovskiy's angry words to and about the judges a couple of weeks ago pretty much sealed their fate. Plus, let's face it, Solo was […]Read On »

Stars: Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: November 14th, 2011 What a difference a week makes on DANCING WITH THE STARS! Last week J.R. Martinez and partner Karina Smirnoff were unstoppable, scoring two perfect scores. This week, not so much perfection, more like imperfections for the duo. Martinez injured his ankle and struggled throughout the entire night. His dancing, because of that, suffered severely. He placed third overall tonight behind the night's highest scorers Ricki Lake & Derek Hough and Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke – who seem to be slowly […]Read On »

In record speed – 20 minutes as co-host Brooke Burke Charvet kept repeating – the dynamic duos had to put the moves they've practiced all week together with music they just heard, just like last season's Instant Cha Cha Cha. The results – mixed. Some, like middle-of-the-packers Hope Sole & Maks Chmerkovskiy rose to the challenge. Others, like front runners Ricki […]Read On »

David Arquette and his partner Kym Johnson are the latest casualties on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Arquette lasted seven weeks and placed sixth in the competition overall. He leaves behind Ricki Lake & Derek Hough, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, and yes, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus.

Martinez, because of a so-so group dance, is in 4th place out of 6 couples! Say it ain't so…oh, it is so. Team Paso (Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, Ricki Lake & Derek Hough) kicked Team Tango's (J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, David Arquette & Kym Johnson, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus) butt! The couples had one […]Read On »

Bono became the sixth contestant eliminated from the show, which featured Broadway themed performances this week. The time had come. No more could his fan base hold him up and pull him through.

Dumping wood in asphalt driveway - damage concerns??
Hi All - I moved into a new home with an asphalt driveway that frankly looks better than most.
I've never dumped a load of wood onto asphalt.
Will that damage to appearance? Will a tarp protect it?
Dumping on the grass is not an option due to the layout and landscaping.
If it was really hot weather and the load was dumped from a height it may cause some damage but I am sure if you are careful it will be fine. A tarp will make the clear up a lot easier.
D8Chumley and gazerbeam06070 like this.
I have had cords of wood dumped on my asphalt driveway in july when it was 90F and it did no damage.
The wood will be fine. You're just planning to burn it, anyway, so if a little bark gets knocked off or a few pieces get dented, no big deal.
coutufr and Stinkpickle like this.
Yep, the edges are the weak spot. Our roofer had to spring for about 20' of new edge when the dumpster truck veered off. Always a risk with heavy trucks.
I have a truckload of wood dumped on our asphalt driveway every other year. You cannot tell that area from the rest of the driveway. I just sweep up the crumbs when I'm done stacking, and after a rain it's back to normal. Like someone said above, I would not do this in hot weather.
Lopi Freedom insert. City home heats mainly with gas furnace; fires about two evenings a week. Although the stove can carry the long ranch house if needed. Interested in wood heat in cities/towns, keeping air pollution low in neighborhoods by using newer stoves, dry wood, hot fires.

Q: Jane Austen "Persuasion" Syntax Analysis This is from Chapter four of "Persuasion" by Jane Austen:
She was persuaded that under every disadvantage of disapprobation at home, and every anxiety attending his profession, all their probable fears, delays, and disappointments, she should yet have been a happier woman in maintaining the engagement, than she had been in the sacrifice of it; and this, she fully believed, had the usual share, had even more than the usual share of all such solicitudes and suspense been theirs, without reference to the actual results of their case, which, as it happened, would have bestowed earlier prosperity than could be reasonably calculated on.
I am confused by the syntax of the black part. The syntax seems to mean 'if even more than the usual share of such solicitudes and suspense had been theirs'. But with this explanation, the whole sentence makes no sense.
So is this a conditional clause? Or is the subject of 'had' 'this'? What does the 'usual share' mean?
Thank you.

A: You're right, it's a conditional, and specifically a counterfactual conditional. Today we mostly introduce counterfactual conditionals with if or even if, but we can also accomplish this through inversion:

If we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs...if we had some eggs.

can also be expressed with

Had we some ham, we could have ham and eggs...had we some eggs.

That version sounds somewhat old-fashioned or formal, but of course Jane Austen tends to sound somewhat old-fashioned and formal to a modern ear (if delightfully so).
It's tricky to see that this is what her "hads" are doing, because there are a lot of words and a whole sub-clause between the first "had" and the thing she is theorizing about having. It might be clearer if it were re-written a bit to conform to modern expectations:

had the usual share, had even more than the usual share of all such solicitudes and suspense been theirs,

can be rewritten

if the usual share—if even more than the usual share—of solicitudes and suspense had been theirs,

The other part that is a bit tricky about understanding this sentence is that the clauses after the semicolon have something of a garden-path quality to the modern ear:

and this, she fully believed, had the usual share

to a modern ear sounds like it should mean something like

and she fully believed that this [whatever "this" is] had the usual share (of something)

In other words, we are primed to expect that "fully believed" refers to "this" having the "usual share" of something. But here "this" refers to the entirety of what came before the semicolon (that she would have been happier if she hadn't called off the engagement), and the belief refers to this hypothesis, with "had" leading into a hypothetical condition that could apply to the hypothesis. Today we might write it more like

and she fully believed that this would be true, even if the usual share

So all together we have something like

and she fully believed that she would have been happier staying engaged, even if she and Captain Wentworth had had the usual share, or even more than the usual share, of worry and uncertainty that a long engagement can bring (without even considering the fact that, as things turned out, they wouldn't have had much worry or waiting at all).

The punctuation is a little different than what we might expect, partly because punctuation in Jane Austen's time wasn't exactly what it is today. The rules were still in flux, and sometimes Austen's punctuation was more rhetorical (indicating where a speaker would pause and for how long) rather than syntactical (dividing sentences and clauses in a hierarchical manner).

A: I think we are missing a comma. Put one after "share", so we have: "... had even more than the usual share, of all such ...".  That sounds much better, to me. Now this phrase revises and amplifies the preceding occurrence of "the usual share".  So all together, it says that she would have been happier if the usual (nay, if even more than the usual) share of all such solicitudes and suspense been theirs.  Austin edits "usual" to "more than usual", as a  sort of afterthought, to show that she is thinking things through as she puts the words down on paper.  What a syntactician she is!
"Usual share" means "as much as what one would ordinarily expect in these circumstances".

A: I disagree with TRomano in one respect. The highlighted phrase does represent a conditional or counterfactual.
I would paraphrase it like this:

and this, she fully believed, had the usual share, even if she had had [or even if there had been] more than the usual share of all such solicitudes,

In other words, Austen is claiming that this noteworthy exception would have made no difference. Note that the second "share" is of solicitudes, not happiness. This point is brought home by the following text:

without reference to the actual results [emphasis my own] of their case, which, as it happened, would have bestowed earlier prosperity than could be reasonably calculated on.

What to make of "the actual results of their case" without the foregoing counterfactual? Why the use of "would have bestowed" there?
In a sense, Austen in this passage is contrasting the woman's fears and anxieties (about imaginary suppositions or "what-if"s) against actual realities.
Note: I also disagree with Greg Lee about the comma. That takes the whole thing in an entirely different direction, and I am of the opinion that Austen was a superb writer who knew where to put commas where they would do the most good. In other words, she knew how to say what she wanted to say, even though she wrote in the highly periodic (and, to us, unusual) style of her time.

A: On second thought I believe that BillJ's comment is correct. Let's reverse the order of the clauses:

Had the usual share, (indeed) had even more than the usual share of all such solicitudes and suspenses been theirs, she fully believed this: she should yet have been a happier woman in maintaining the engagement, than she had been in the sacrifice of it.

Disregard the following:

Maintaining the engagement, she believed, did have the usual share of happiness even if more than the usual share of worries and fretting had been theirs.
I'm treating had even more than the usual share of all such solicitudes and suspense been theirs as a clause of concession.  If we treat it as a conditional, I cannot explain the simple declarative and this, she fully believed, had the usual share.
Compare:

If it tastes bad, it's nutritious.

which can mean, "Even though it tastes bad, it is nutritious."  or "Though it tastes bad, still, it is nutritious."   The bad taste is conceded. It doesn't have to be understood conditionally, like If it rains, the streets get wet.
The phrase without reference ...case modifies she believed.

A: This passage, and this style of communication in general, is an excellent instance of a symptom of the author's failing cognitive abilities. Nowadays it would be labeled MCI, mild cognitive impairment, a symptomatic precursor to many kinds of dementia.
The passage is not agrammatical, but it follows such a tortured garden path that its recreation could be a plan for a large estate garden, and, in this guise, a distinctly English one, with none of the strict classicism exhibited in the continental.
For the highlighted passage can be simplified considerably to show its structure:

... This, she fully believed, had the usual share, had even more than the usual share of all such solicitudes and suspense been theirs, without reference...

is structurally similar to:

This ... had the usual share, even if more than the usual share had been theirs.

The convoluted subordination along with false parallelism and improbable contradistinction,  starting a new sentence without bothering to start, are really a sign that she was internally, in her own personal writer's monologue, attempting to sidestep the loss of vocabulary for the terms she was trying to explain in this long winded, seemingly thought filled circumlocution.
This particular kind of anomia, and despite its erudition it can certainly be labeled as such, is characteristic of only a few dementias. Some, like Alzheimer's, lead to a loss of expressibility, periphrastic by shorter sentences, more Anglo-Saxon, uninflected verbs. If they are only passing my house now, the children walking to school are going to be late. Others seem to result in a loss of a few items but keep enough faculties to compensate, and may even lose inhibition, leading to longer and longer sentences attempting to capture the finer and finer, even up to exact, nuances of the lost lexemes.  Austen has very successfully compensated for her imminent demise by a common tactic subconsciously used by many to cover up difficulties in production of vocabulary, both periphrasticism of the prolix indirect kind, and parataxis of the run-on, articulate but inarticulated kind.
Austen had shown herself to be a strangely popular prose esthetician in her earlier works like 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' (note the lack of innovation in titling, even 'The Fast and the Furious' people do something). She could keep a train of thought from one sentence barely to the next. But by the time she was writing 'Emma', the predecessor to 'Persuasion', the side effects of her other than most upright of daily habits were taking their cognitive toll; she could barely keep a consistent idea within a single paragraph long sentence. From diaries and correspondences, it is well-documented that repetitive microtraumas from pugilism, severally multiple Oxford commas (a common nearby travel destination for inhabitants of Bath, Austen's primry residence), the fowl malarial miasma of the stables during contests intergalline or canine/murine, and some other third thing contributed to her inability to rationally this is all, as the clinicians of our age are prone to utter defensively, the most not inconsistent with Vascular Dementia:

... They tend to have better free recall and fewer recall intrusions when compared with patients with Alzheimer's disease. In the more severely affected patients, or patients affected by infarcts in Wernicke's or Broca's areas, specific problems with speaking called dysarthrias and aphasias may be present.

Even in her materially privileged lower upper-middle class, without the benefit of contemporary medical practices, the ravages of daily behavior daily stole her words.

In an effort to boost exports, the Obama White House has entered into a joint venture with the agricultural biotechnology industry to remove barriers to the spread of genetically engineered (GE) crops, even on national wildlife refuges, according to documents posted today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Today, PEER sued the White House Trade Representative, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) and the State Department to force release of documents detailing their partnership with industry.
Recent successful lawsuits brought by PEER with the Center for Food Safety have underlined the incompatibility of GE crops with refuge habitats, which has strengthened objections from GE-averse nations. The Biotechnology Industry Association (BIO), whose most prominent member is Monsanto, the world's biggest source of GE crops, approached the Obama White House for assistance. In late 2010, the White House formed an interagency "Agriculture Biotech Working Group" consisting of more than 35 officials from ten agencies to promote GE agriculture. This Working Group includes officials from the White House and its OMB, Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP), Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Trade Rep. It also has officials from State, Justice, Agriculture, EPA and FDA.


The Humble Bundle has launched its fifth Android-friendly event offering six popular indie games for a fraction of their individual retail price. In addition to working across Windows, OS X and Linux, the games will run on Google's mobile operating system, with three requiring Android 2.2 or higher and at least 2.3 for the other half.
You can view the full desktop system requirements and supported mobile devices for each game here. It's worth nothing that although the titles are technically available for Android, some of them have only just launched and may be a little buggy, but the developers are working on patches and you're encouraged to report glitches.
Even If you can only spare a buck, you'll still get access to everything but Dungeon Defenders and Super Hexagon, and you may already own the former from December's deal. As usual, all of the titles are offered in a DRM-free direct download or with Steam keys in case you prefer to keep your digital purchases under one roof.


Electronic Arts' COMMAND & CONQUER series has been one of the most popular real-time strategy games in existence, and now players can check out twelve of the games on one CD with the COMMAND & CONQUER THE FIRST DECADE collection. The games are interesting combinations of science-fiction storylines and history. In COMMAND & CONQUER: RED ALERT, for example, players find themselves in an alternate history where the allied forces are battling Stalin and a powerful Russia instead of Germany because, after inventing a time machine, Einstein killed Hitler. It's interesting storylines like this that make the series so much more than the typical RTS game. Twelve different COMMAND & CONQUER games are included in THE FIRST DECADE package, including the original game, RED ALERT, TIBERIAN SUN, RENEGADE (a first-person shooter set in the C&C universe), RED ALERT 2, YURI'S REVENGE, C&C GENERALS, ZERO HOUR, and more. All have been updated to run on Windows XP. All of the games take different approaches and are often set in different worlds, although some are direct sequels. However, the well-written storylines and addictive gameplay remain the same through each game, with each successive game tweaking the mechanics a bit. Players will find the first C&C game does play a bit differently than the more recent ones, but the controls aren't so outdated as to make the game no longer fun. Fans of the COMMAND & CONQUER series who missed a few installments should pick up the COMMAND & CONQUER THE FIRST DECADE pack.
Bought it for $10, so many classics, what a steal! Haven't experienced any bugs, slight graphics issue but downloaded patch online and it actually upgraded the screen resolution so the games look great even after all these years.
Half the games on it don't even work for me.
A collection of amazing games, too bad it's very buggy.


Where can I compare health insurance quotes?
Home / FAQ / Where can I compare health insurance quotes?
Most of us understand that the rising cost of healthcare is one of the leading causes behind the astronomical rate increases imposed by insurance companies on their customers. It is a frightening reality, which is resulting in more and more Americans electing not to carry health insurance simply because they can't afford it. For those who are not offered health insurance through their employers or business groups, many are choosing to compare health insurance rates on their own before purchasing an individual policy.
You can compare health insurance quotes online by entering your zip code below.
According to the 2011 Milliman Medical Index, the average annual premium for a PPO in America is now just over $19,000. That represents an increase of 7.3% over 2010, and more than 100% since 2002. It's no secret that health insurance rates are rising much faster than the rate of inflation and the annual cost of living.
The National Conference of State Legislatures notes that although the number of uninsured Americans continues to rise, the number of employees offering health insurance coverage to employees has remained relatively unchanged for the last several decades. If you're one of the unfortunate ones without an employer-provided insurance plan, searching online for your own policy can be very helpful. Just like auto insurance searches, online searches for health insurance give you a variety of options.
These health insurance search engines work by taking the information you provide and comparing it against statistical analysis and pricing structures provided by participating health insurance providers. They crunch the numbers and return quotes for every participating company that offers coverage in your area. From there you have a starting point, which allows you to contact individual insurance companies for more accurate quotes and coverage limits.
Understand that the quotes you receive through online search engines are only estimates. Your actual premium price will undoubtedly be different according to your specific conditions. The problem is; there are so many variables involved in a health insurance that a search engine could not possibly account for each one. They give you a ballpark figure that lets you see which companies will most likely be less expensive than the rest.
Can I compare health insurance quotes without using online search engine?
Those are things an automated search engine simply can't do.
We would suggest you start with a search engine and then choose a handful of companies from the quotes you receive. Contact those specific companies through their websites, ask for prices and coverage limits, and then sit down and compare them all side by side.
It is a time-consuming and tedious process, to say the least, but it's the only way to do it if you truly want all of the information. The other option is to take the cheapest quote you find using a search engine and purchase a policy sight unseen.
Can I simply call various health insurance companies?
Telephone calls are always an option when searching for health insurance. However, be careful to avoid trying to compare policies simply by listening to the representative's sales pitch. He or she is going to throw endless amounts of information at you, which will be nearly impossible to sort out over the telephone. After four or five such phone calls your head will be so full of information you won't know where to turn. Rather than listen to a sales pitch, simply call and request the company send you printed or electronic information.
With such information in hand, you can then sit down and compare policies at your own schedule. You might be able to compare only two policies at a time; that's fine. Over the course of a week, you should be able to go through the information and come to some sort of determination.
On the other hand, if you rely solely on the phone representatives to guide you through, you're likely to give up after a few phone calls and just pick anything to save yourself the misery of continuing.
We've provided an online search tool below, whereby entering your zip code gets you immediate access to multiple health insurance quotes.

Will Katy Perry Spoil a HIMYM Romance?
Pop tart Katy Perry is bringing her considerable assets to CBS's How I Met Your Mother, playing a potential love interest for one of the main characters.
The California Gurl will appear in an upcoming episode of the sitcom as the beautiful and naïve cousin of Jennifer Morrison's Zoey. And since CBS is billing Perry's character — whom the gang (affectionately?) dubs "Honey" — as a possible love interest for Ted, it'd seem that Mr. Mosby's nascent romance with the lovely architecture advocate is due for some sort of detour.
Perry's only previous acting-ish work has been a snuffed appearance on Sesame Street, a saucy Simpsons stop-by and the voice of Smurfette in the upcoming motion picture about some silly blue, animated kiddie show characters.

Several abnormalities of circulating lymphocytes have been described and used for classification of CVID.[1,38] Mouillot et al. [39•] combined T-cell and B-cell phenotyping of 313 CVID patients within the French DEFI cohort. The analysis of the immunological parameters was performed separately for patients with infections only or patients with other secondary complications. While the reduction of switched memory B cells and plasmablasts was observed in all groups, in CVID patients with secondary complications this reduction was even more pronounced and only these patients presented with a significant expansion of CD21low B cells, independent of the type of complication. Similarly, all clinical subgroups had decreased numbers of naïve CD4 T cells, but again this was most severe in patients with secondary complications. Thus a combined B-cell and T-cell phenotyping reveals a stronger immune dysregulation in CVID patients with secondary complications.
Three studies[40,41•,42] have analyzed the abnormalities of circulating B cells in children with CVID. Van de Ven et al.[41•] compared circulating B and T cells of 36 pediatric CVID, 30 patients with other forms of hypogammaglobulinemia with 65 healthy controls. Like their adult counterparts most children presented with reduced numbers of switched memory B cells. In contrast, in most pediatric patients transitional IgD+CD10+CD38hi B cells were expanded and the decrease in IgM memory B cells and in CD4+ T cells was more prominent than reported for adult patients. It needs to be addressed whether these additional changes are an expression of a subgroup of CVID patients with early childhood onset or of the greater regenerative capacity in children producing a higher output of precursor B cells from the bone marrow. Unfortunately, none of these changes nor the classifications according to EUROclass,[1] Giovannetti et al.[38] or Chapel et al.[43] allowed the differentiation between CVID and other forms of hypogammaglobulinemia in this pediatric cohort. Additional prospective studies however need to confirm this lack of association. Stratifying pediatric CVID patients according to switched memory B cells below (group I) or above 5 cells/μl (group II), only patients in group I had secondary complications like splenomegaly, autoimmune cytopenia, lymphoma or chronic lung disease suggesting increased surveillance for this group.[42] Thus, children with hypogammaglobulinemia show similar alterations of their B-cell subpopulations as adults, but the ideal definition of abnormal numbers of switched memory B cells (percentage vs. absolute counts, flexible cut-offs according to age matched controls) remains to be determined for pediatric cohorts.
In order to define hierarchical clusters of B-cell phenotypes by computational algorithms, 48 CVID patients and 49 controls were analyzed by six-color flow cytometry.[44] As a proof of principle this approach was used to compare clusters defined by bins derived from six color gates with known phenotypic definitions of B-cell subsets. On a second level, clusters of B-cell phenotypes of patients were defined according to the composition of the circulating B-cell pool. A longitudinal analysis of patients could confirm the highly stable abnormal B-cell phenotype in 15 CVID patients.[44] Follow-up studies combining phenotypic, functional, and lineage-specific characteristics will have to prove the usefulness of computational methods for defining B-cell subsets and their relation to clinical presentations.

Festival Iminente is the creation of Portuguese street artist Vhils.
Since 2016 the event has been held in locations across Europe including Lisbon and London.
Many of the performers and creators at Festival Iminente are Portuguese but Iminente also hosts artists from around the world.
The touring festival brings a piece of Portugal with it whenever it shows up; this time landing in the home of the hipster, Shoreditch.
The festival is part music festival, part art exhibition.
Festival Iminente provides a unique platform for the cutting edge in these intersecting worlds.
The fields which I am used to are a far cry from the dusty urban world. Experiencing street art at a festival in central London was a welcome breath of fresh air.
Art acts included a collaboration by Vhils x Fat Boy Slim; The Empty Belly renowned for their monochrome portrayals of reproduction and the politically motivated MaisMenos.

Other works included a fully functional arcade claw grabber machine which attempted and failed to pick up assorted items including a bucket hat and an avocado. On the upper gallery a range or prints by Portuguese street artists and outside a selection of wall pieces.
In Festival Iminente's Room A the music was predominantly hip-hop, with both DJ sets and live performances, including sets by the up and coming Yuzi and New Yorker Smoke DZA.
However, on Sunday there was a performance by the energetic disco group Da Chick, bringing disco well up to date with funky trumpets and lewd lyrics.
During the finale of Da Chick's set one of the performers jumped into the crowd and lay on the floor while the crowd looked on.
Room B featured predominantly dance DJs, where during the early stages of Sunday spectators jived away to Samba music. Over the course of the night the pace quickened, moving as did the evolution of dance music through disco, then house to the thud of techno.
Despite poor selection of booze (unless of course you like Super Bock) Festival Iminente put on a strong show.
With a musically inclusive feel, stunning visual displays and a prime location, it's an event well worth checking out in the post-festival season interlude.
See you in a field soon!

Running uses all your leg muscles, including the hamstrings. Consisting of tendons and muscles, the hamstrings are located at the back of the thighs, and they work to bend the knee, extend and straighten the hip, and deliver explosive power when you run, jump or climb.
Unfortunately, many runners suffer from tight hamstrings. This can be down to genetics, but it's often simply due to a lack of stretching. Tight hamstrings might not sound like a huge deal, but here are just four potential consequences.
When your muscles are too tight, blood is squeezed out of them. This is particularly important for runners, since reduced blood flow means muscles aren't getting properly oxygenated and lactic acid isn't being properly removed. If you want to be running at 100%, you need to make sure your hamstrings aren't too tight.
Proper form is vital for a runner, though it's something many don't spend too much time perfecting. If your form is poor, you'll risk further injury and won't be moving in concert with the body's natural biomechanics—in either case, you're not going to be running as well as you should be. When the hamstrings are tight, you need to place the strain on other muscles, and you won't land as you should during each footfall.
If your hamstrings are too tight, they'll bear excessive pressure, especially when you need to run fast or head up a hill, so a pulled hamstring becomes more likely. The severity of this injury differs; you may simply suffer from a mild pull, or you may suffer a complete tear. In any case, a pulled hamstring can be extremely uncomfortable. You'll have to stop running until it heals, and you'll probably experience discomfort even when you're sitting on the couch watching TV.
As one of the leg muscles close to your pelvis and back, hamstring performance has a knock-on effect on your lower back. If the hamstrings are tight, your pelvic area and hips will rotate backwards when you run. This causes the lower back to flatten, which can lead to chronic back pain.
You may also experience sacroiliac joint pain, which results in discomfort across the left or right of the lower back. It often feels like a band of pain or discomfort. Pain can become acute enough to restrict movement—it can also start to radiate to the buttocks, groin and even to the testicles.
Contact a sports injury clinic for additional information.


A health care directive (also called an advance directive or living will) is a written document or set of documents that is used to express your health care wishes when you are no longer able to personally communicate those wishes.
Who can make a health care directive?
What is a "personal decision"?
What is a "personal matter"?
A health care directive, also called a living will, power of attorney for personal care, or advance directive, sets out in writing your wishes for your medical care and treatment. It may also name a person, called an agent or proxy, to make health care decisions for you when you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself. Usually, an advance directive contains specific directions on the course of action you would or would not like to take if you are in a terminal condition, a permanent coma or in a persistent vegetative state. It may provide instructions on whether or not you wish to receive artificial life support, artificially administered food and water or comfort and care.
Yukon Territory - at least 16 years of age.
Durable powers of attorney and powers of attorney for personal care are both documents used to authorize someone to act for you after you have lost capacity or if you cannot communicate. However, an enduring power of attorney usually allows an attorney-in-fact to make decisions relating to only your property and finances while a power of attorney for personal care allows an agent or personal representative to make decisions relating to your health care. Consequently, you should have an advance directive or power of attorney for personal care in addition to any enduring power of attorney. In New Brunswick, a power of attorney for personal care and a power of attorney respecting property matters may be given in one document.
Generally, health care providers must follow your health care instructions (to the extent your directions are consistent with accepted health care practices). However, if a health care provider is unwilling to follow your directions, the provider is usually obliged to refer you to another health care provider who will honour your instructions.
A personal decision means a decision relating to a personal matter and can include giving consent, refusing to give consent, or withdrawal of consent to a medical treatment.
A personal matter in relation to a Health Care Directive can be any matter of a non financial nature relating to health care, accomodation, participation in social events, where and with whom a person may live or work, or any other matter described by regulation.
Each jurisdiction has its own laws, forms and procedures related to health care directives. Most jurisdictions will honour the health care directive of another jurisdiction however it is best to consult with the legislation specific to your jurisdiction to ensure that your health care directive will be recognized.

The new Complete Edition will arrive on October 18th, bringing this full experience to both the PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch. Here is the new battle trailer:

Players can attack, guard, switch out Digmon, and use items as they take on strategic turn-based battles. If your team is hurt, you'll want to head to the DigiLab after the dust has settled to heal them before heading into further battles.

About Michael Fontanini
Michael is a veteran gamer in his late 30s, who grew up around video games, with fond memories of the oldies like the NES, SNES, and N64 among others. He loves Nintendo, but also plays a lot of games on his PC. Michael also enjoys going for walks/bike rides, loves animals, and enjoys thunderstorms (and science in general).
Michael is also a computer programmer. This started with a toy he got as a kid called Pre-Computer 1000 that was made by V-Tech. It had a simple programming mode (a bare-bones version of BASIC) which is what started him down the road of being a programmer! Michael can program in BASIC, Visual Basic, C++, C#, and is familiar with Java and Lua Script.
Putting programming and gaming together, Michael became a hobbyist game developer, which may give him some good insights on game development! Most recently, he has been playing with the Unity 3D game engine (a powerful and easy-to-use engine) and learning 3D modelling in Blender.
I love Nintendo but I also play a lot of game's on PC, many of which are on steam. My favorite Nintendo game's include Zelda, Metroid, and Smash Bros to name a few. On PC I love the Half-Life games, as well as most all of the Source Engine games just to name a few.

I wanted to spread the word about the Big Sur Fiction Writing Workshop happening here in California March 2nd-4th. It's a workshop for children's book writers (PB-YA), co-sponsored by the Henry Miller Memorial Library and Andrea Brown Literary Agency, in Big Sur, an absolutely gorgeous sliver of the central coast.
What I love about this conference is the small writer-to-faculty ratio, which is 5 to 1 or less, with a guarantee you'll work closely with at least three different faculty. The weekend is also put together as a package deal with lodging, meals (including tax and grats), and a cocktail reception included in the cost. They even set up roommates (in two-room units) and help coordinate carpooling when possible.
Brandy Rivers, literary manager/producer at Magnet Management.
Lisa Yoskowitz, editor at Disney-Hyperion.
Sharyn November, senior editor at Viking Children's Books.
Julie Romeis, executive editor at Chronicle Books.
Catherine Ryan Hyde, multi-published children's book author.
Eric J. Adams, author, film producer, screenwriter, and journalist.
The deadline to register is February 10th and I've heard from Mike Scutari at Henry Miller that they still have some open spots. You can check out the website here and some workshop success stories here.
Hope you consider going, but if you can't make it this year put it down for 2013!
I've heard awesome thinks about this conference and that people meet their agents at it. Wish I could go.
Sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I've heard some good things about the Andrea Brown Agency.
I'd love to go but its a bit too far of a drive up the coast with the young ones in tow. But sounds like a great time!
Although I've only been to that area once, it's etched in my mind as my favorite place on the planet (that I've seen so far). And I wish my budget allowed me room to go. I'd so love to. Sounds like it's a yearly thing? If so, hopefully I can attend soon.
Sounds awesome. Wish I could go!
I've attended in the past and loved it. This is a great workshop. I can't make it this year but I'll try to put it on my list for next year. Thanks for the reminder!
one year, by gum, I will scrape together enough coin to go. It's my birthday weekend too! maybe next year!
I SO wish I could go. Sounds fantastic. *sniff sniff* Maybe next year.
Not this year for me, but you know, I need to put it on the calendar for 2013...at the rate I keep saying next year, y'all will have to wheel a ninety year old me into my room.
All best to those attending, it will be wonderful I'm sure!
Sounds wonderful. Look at the great people who will be there! Too bad I'm on the other coast.
I really want to go to Big Sur. I've heard great things about it. I think I'll try and go next year. I won't be able to make it this year.
I just signed up! It's my first workshop (or conference, or anything else "official", actually)--I'm SUPER exited, but also really nervous!
Now to get my manuscript whipped into shape, yikes.
I just signed up as well. I've been wanting to check this one out for a while- Can't wait and see you there Triona!
Also like to point out that this blog is where I researched my agent Caryn Wiseman of ABLA and I ADORE her! I'm thinking of going to the conference just to meet her.
Have a fantastic time Triona and Dustin!! And you as well, Terry, if you go. It would be so wonderful for you to meet Caryn!

CNN Gets BLASTED By Monica Lewinsky And It Is EPIC!
Sassy Liberty AMERICA'S FREEDOM FIGHTERS –
In an attempt to take a break from generating #FakeNews it seems CNN's HLN is attempting to revisit the more than 20-year-old scandal of Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky with a 2-hour special dubbing the event "The Monica Lewinsky Scandal."
Lewinsky had a rather withering comeback for CNN's sister network after the announcement delivering a withering comeback. The notorious former White House intern and now anti-bullying campaigner savvy and astute correction to HLN's announcement on Twitter. She crossed out 'The Monica Lewinsky Scandal' proffering a more accurate and appropriate title writing –
"HLN to revisit 'The Starr Investigation. The Clinton Impeachment' with two hour special."
fixed it for you. you're welcome. pic.twitter.com/h4iVKGwM1g
— Monica Lewinsky (@MonicaLewinsky) November 28, 2017
She then cheekily stated – "fixed it for you. You're welcome."
Within hours her post on social media had garnered a lot of attention with nearly 5,000 likes and a variety of both positive and supportive comments as well as negative and critical ones. Some cited the fact that this is "post-Weinstein 2017." Others stated the actual "scandal" had more to do with perjury, obstruction of justice, and impeachment, as Bill Clinton's history as being a serial philanderer, adulterer, rapist, and sexual deviant were well established at this point. Accusations of Clinton's sexual misdeeds date back to his days as a Rhodes Scholar, and those are just the ones that were reported.
Lewinsky was just 22 years old when she was pursued by then-President Bill Clinton in 1995. An affair that Bill went on to deny while Hillary used the media to wage an all-out smear campaign against Lewinsky as though she were the only one to blame.
Lewinsky herself testified to sexual encounters with Bill Clinton on nine separate occasions during the span of November 1995 to March 1997. Hillary was present at the White House for at least seven of those days according to her published schedule for her duties as First Lady.
Congress voted to impeach Bill in December of 1998 on one count of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice, though he was later acquited by the Senate and finished his term. He was also disbarred as a result of his conviction.
Lewinsky herself now works as a social activist in speaking out against cyberbullying, stating of the events in an article she wrote for Vanity Fair in 2014 –
"Unlike the other parties involved, I was so young that I had no established identity to which I could return. I didn't 'let this define' me—I simply hadn't had the life experience to establish my own identity in 1998. If you haven't figured out who you are, it's hard not to accept the horrible image of you created by others.
Despite much self-searching and therapy and exploring of different paths, I remained 'stuck' for far too many years. No longer. It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. And move forward."
The 2 hour special is due to air on HLN's true crime series "How It Really Happened" on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. EST. Interviews are to include former Clinton advisers, White House journalists, and other key players including Wolf Blitzer, CNN anchor; John King, CNN anchor and chief national correspondent; Dick Morris, former Clinton adviser and friend; Lucianne Goldberg; former literary agent to Linda Tripp, Solomon Wisenberg; former prosecutor from the Office of Independent Counsel, and Michael Isikoff; Yahoo! News chief investigative correspondent.
