Citing "challenging economic conditions," event organizers for the Knickerbocker Ice Festival said Thursday the 2013 event has been called off.
Organizers are hoping the fete—which transforms a portion of Rockland Lake State Park into an ice-carving capitol—will pick up again in 2014, but nothing official has been announced.
The event began in 2007 as a celebration of Rockland Lake's history; the region was the ice industry's center in the 19th century. The fete ran in January in years past, and featured children's entertainment, nature tours, history lessons and food and drink from local merchants.
"We are disappointed that the Knickerbocker Ice Festival won't be held at Rockland Lake in 2013. Each year it became more and more popular and had become a top attraction for Rockland County every winter," said Maria Rodd, Knickerbocker Ice Festival CEO. "We hope to someday bring it back to Rockland Lake, possibly in 2014."

a musical instrument, supposed to have been a kind of lyre, or a harp with twelve strings. The Hebrew word nebhel, so rendered, is translated "viol" in Isa. 5:12 (R.V., "lute"); 14:11. In Dan. 3:5, 7, 10, 15, the word thus rendered is Chaldaic, pesanterin, which is supposed to be a word of Greek origin denoting an instrument of the harp kind.
(from Greek psalterion: "harp"), musical instrument having plucked strings of gut, horsehair, or metal stretched across a flat soundboard, often trapezoidal but also rectangular, triangular, or wing-shaped. The strings are open, none being stopped to produce different notes. The instrument, probably of Near Eastern origin in late classical times, reached Europe in the 12th century as a variety of the trapezoidal Arabic psaltery, or qanun. It was popular in Europe until about the 15th century and developed there into several shapes, including the characteristic "boar's head"-i.e., with two incurving sides. It was plucked with the fingers or two quill plectra. Even after its decline, it continued to be played on occasion in fashionable society. It also gave rise to the harpsichord, which is a large psaltery with a keyboard mechanism for plucking the strings. Psalteries still played in European folk music include the Finnish kantele and its Baltic relatives, among them the Estonian kannel, which is bowed rather than plucked, and the Russian gusli.

Gina Salvatore has been crowned the new Miss Greater Rockville.
Salvatore, a 19-year-old theater student from the University of Connecticut, was the winner of the second-annual pageant on Saturday at Rockville High School.
She was joined on the podium by Jeanette Porcello, a 15-year-old South Windsor resident, who was named Miss Greater Rockville Outstanding Teen.
Salvatore, a Wethersfield native, would like to take a career path toward Broadway and in theater education.
She performed a dance routine to "I Can't Do It Alone," during the talent portion of the pageant.
Salvatore's platform is Heart-to-Heart: Supporting Military Families. It's a topic that is hitting particularly close to home for her because her brother is currently deployed in Afghanistan. She said her family has an extensive military background.
She said she wants to be very active in military affairs in town over the next 12 months. She received a $500 scholarship for winning.
Porcello sang and played the piano during the talent portion of the pageant. Her platform is Autism Families CONNECTicut - "Helping those on the spectrum reach their fullest potential."
Her career ambition is working with music.
An emotional Katlyn Lewicke gave out hugs and thanked the residents of Vernon for making her part of the community as Miss Greater Rockville 2012. Kewicke was a familiar face at many public events during her tenure as Miss Greater Rockville 2012 and took an active role in educating the area on child sexual abuse, her platform.
"I've watched children grow, made friendships that will far outlast my reign as your representative and even judged a pie-eating contest. All this I have been blessed to do at your invitation," she wrote in her farewell letter.
She continued, "I have been beyond fortunate to have your assistance in turning the figure of Miss Greater Rockville from the winner of a beauty agent to an activist and a supporter of victims."
Both Slavatore and Porcello can now enter the Miss Connecticut pageant.

Burrowbridge punters sign petition to save pooch
1:30pm Tuesday 12th June 2012 in News By Kirsty James
ALMOST 200 punters at a Burrowbridge pub have signed a petition to save its beloved dog, who has been accused of being a traffic hazard.
Sally Taylor and Jim Winkworth, of the King Alfred Inn, say they may have to consider re-homing their springer spaniel, Bodger, after he was accused of straying in two anonymous complaints.
The complaints, made to Taunton Deane Council, said Bodger was a traffic hazard as he likes to go for a walk around the front of the pub to the riverbank.
Sally said the family felt it would be unfair to tie Bodger up as he is used to his freedom.
She said: "He walks down a path to the riverbank, but he never goes on to the road.
"Taunton Deane Council has sent two dog wardens to watch the pub to catch Bodger in the process.
"They've sent us a letter saying if they catch him they'll take him to the dog pound and we'll have to pay to have him released.
"They suggested that we tie him up, but we'd rather re-home him than take away his freedom."
A petition has since been started online and at the pub with almost 200 people signing up to say they have never seen Bodger straying on to the road and causing a traffic hazard.
Sally said: "A neighbour who worked for the RSPCA suggested the petition.
"It has only been going a few days, but many neighbours and regulars have all said they've never seen him go on to the road.
"He's a well behaved and friendly dog, and popular with children who visit the pub as well as our boys, Seth six, Jed, four, and Jaz, two, who have never known life without their pet dog.
"We hope to get around 500 signatures to say these accusations are unfounded and allow us to find a sensible solution."
A council spokesman said its policy was not to comment on individual cases, but it would investigate any reports of a dog straying on to a major road.
The council would be concerned for the animal's welfare and that of the public, he said.

I totally agree with your comment.
This is someone who is faceless.Bodger is part and parcel of the pub.Perhaps the persons who have a gripe to bare should speak to landlord/landlady and not make ridculous complaints

Thousands will gather July 14-17, 2011 atop Marvin's Mountaintop in Masontown, West Virginia for the 15th annual All Good Music Festival and Campout, and live broadcast leaders iClips.net will be there to document it.
Audio-visual turntablist extraordinaire DJ YODA is set to release a brand new five-track EP entitled DJ YODA & FRIENDS out March 7, 2011 via A.Skillz' Jam City label in North America. Taken from his exclusive album sessions, the EP follows DJ YODA's groundbreaking Stop, Look & Listen Tour which saw him mashing audio and visual elements across the U.K., conquering various venues including the celebrated British Film Institute IMAX in London.
DJ YODA is no ordinary scratch DJ. His seminal How To Cut & Paste series showcased a tongue-in-cheek mixing style that prompted Q magazine in his native Britain to declare him "one of the ten DJs to see before you die," while Hip Hop Connection voted him "one of the top three DJs in the world." American gaming enthusiasts may be familiar with him as a contributor to 'DJ Hero,' for which he collaborated with its designers, contributing his expertise to the look of the game. It also features two of his mixes and a DJ Yoda level.
From hip-hop beginnings, DJ YODA has evolved in the past ten years, using his turntable skills and diverse influences as varied as funk, b-more, kuduro, reggae, drum 'n' bass and even big band swing and country & western to make unashamed party music. On the DJ YODA & FRIENDS EP— the follow-up to his 2006 debut album The Amazing Adventures Of DJ Yoda, where he produced tracks with Biz Markie, 2005 MOBO-winner Sway, Princess Superstar, Jungle Brothers, MC Paul Barman and a host of other vocalists—the master producer teams with a unique cast of characters. Rappers Izza Kizza, a vocalist from super-producer Timbaland's stable, and Gotty Boi Chris, a key figure in the very hot New Orleans Bounce scene, and DJ/producers A.Skillz, Hervé and Nick Thayer are DJ YODA's cohorts on these five brand new tracks
A-Skillz has done it all from plying his turntable abilities at clubs and festivals across the world to producing his own tracks and helping mould others. Similarly, Joshua "Hervé" Harvey has created club smashes under various guises and collaborated with some of the most exciting players in the scene, including Fatboy Slim to create 2010's "Machines will do the Work." Nick Thayer is an Australian DJ/Producer who has already won the support of Kissy Sell Out (Radio 1), the Stanton Warriors and Utah Saints amongst others, off the back of his debut album which he released in May, Just Let It Go.
On stage, DJ YODA can be found cutting the "Indiana Jones" theme with woofer-worrying dubstep or "The Muppet Show" theme with M.IA. His shows are peppered with film, TV and YouTube samples and visuals that lift his sets to new and stratospheric heights. His live repertoire—which U.S. audiences will get to experience this spring when he comes over to tour—has him trail-blazing into the world of the audio-visual. DJ YODA pioneered a new art form, using cutting-edge technology that he's been instrumental in developing to scratch and mix visuals on top of his DJ sets in the clubs.
Starting out by re-scoring both "The Goonies" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" on the festival circuit in 2003 and 2004, DJ YODA went on to transform the average night out into a fusion of clubbing and the movies. His recent audio/visual tours have included "DJ Yoda Goes To The Movies," "Magic Cinema Show" and "National Video Vacation." Elements of his most recent outing with his "Stop Look And Listen" show can be found here.
Recent highlights for DJ Yoda include:
Showcasing a one-off AV mix at the DMC 25th Anniversary Championships, detailing the competition's incredible highs from the past quarter of a century in his own inimitable style.

Fun is good. That statement may seem obvious to most but I'm guessing some of you know it's easy to forget that fact.
Fun is good for you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually — the basic and crucial parts of our lives. But we sometimes forget the importance of fun.
I just returned from a whole week of fun. In fact it was so fun, we stayed two extra days. I hadn't had a week of complete fun and relaxation in a long, long time. It was the second week I traveled this summer and it confirmed the suspicions I had the first week: Fun is a necessity of life.
Unlike the first week of fun, this second week took place with my beloved and very fun husband while my beloved and very fun daughter was happily ensconced in camp where she was having even more fun. Because the fun was maximized for everyone, my relaxation was raised to levels not recently seen — which resulted in even more elevated levels of fun.
There are various reasons many of us forget to, or become unable to, have high concentrated levels of fun. We forget to have fun because we are busy, buried under responsibilities that eat up the hours available for fun. Some people are working long hours, mothering children, caring for family members, managing a home, or juggling various combinations of all of the above. Fun gets pushed to the back burner and eventually the person forgets it exists. Sometimes they squeeze in two hours of fun here or there, but it isn't enough to fully escape and feel fully revived.
Then there are others who are dealing with a difficult health crisis, experiencing a job loss, facing serious financial problems, struggling with family upheaval due to divorce or have lost a loved one. These are devastating and frightening experiences that eradicate any expectation of fun. The people managing these kinds of pressures, pain and emotional burdens feel lucky to get to the end of the day without pulling out their hair or drowning in tears. Fun is not on the radar because they are too busy trying to breathe. They are genuinely incapable of having true, relaxed and rejuvenating fun. But, one day, their time will come — if they remember that fun is good and good for them.
For whatever reason, some of us forget that fun not only lifts our immediate mood but buoys our emotions to carry us through the rougher waters. Fun is like an electrical impulse that zaps your brain, stimulating you to think and feel beyond the necessary drudgery of everyday tasks. Fun renews your heart and soul. Fun excites and energizes your body.
"It is through play that we do much of our learning," writes Dr. Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., an internationally recognized authority on brain development and children in crisis. "We learn best when we are having fun. Play, more than any other activity, fuels healthy development of children — and the continued healthy development of adults."
Returning home after a full week of continued healthy development, I discovered real fun in unexpected places. When I missed a favorite fitness class, I found myself having fun on the elliptical machine that I'd previously declared monotonous. I was smiling and enjoying myself. Shockingly, I was having fun.
There were a few moments — OK, hours — of re-entry into normal life that were, frankly, downright unpleasant and miserable. Trust me, a broken freezer full of food that sat in a baking garage for several days is not a pleasant welcome home. But once we toiled through that and some additional problems, we found sitting down with a pizza, a bottle of wine and our favorite TV show to be unusually great fun.
So fun begat fun. Remembering what fun feels like left me finding little tastes of it that I ate as hungrily as I did the bountiful banquet of fun the previous week. I'm realizing that I don't have to go away for a week, escaping all responsibilities and stressors, to have fun. I can steal moments of it and have the same lift in my mood, the same refreshment and restoration. I can look for five minutes or five hours of fun where I might not have seen or experienced it before.
There may come moments in our lives where we think we will never laugh, smile, feel hope or encounter fun ever again. And we won't — if we decide to cling to that belief and adopt it as our mantra. But I want to encourage those who've given up on having time for fun, or even being able to recognize it, to reconsider what is fun or what could become a fun surprise.
Life is tough sometimes. Terrible things happen. There may be no fun on the horizon. But wait. Keep looking over that dark horizon because one day you may eventually see it: Here comes the fun.

Carthage's girls subdued Seneca by scoring 13 unanswered points in the third quarter of a 71-47 victory Thursday in the Neosho Holiday Classic at Neosho Middle School.
Senior guard Chloe Shepherd scored 10 of her 18 points in the third quarter after the Tigers had seen an 18-point lead dwindle as Seneca came within 39-33 early in the second half.
"We got into foul trouble," said Carthage head coach Jim Moore. "We had a couple of silly fouls and ended the half with four of our starters on the bench."
Seneca, which trailed 32-14 with five minutes left in the first half, began to chip away at the lead from the free-throw line.
Seneca sank nine of 12 free throws in the second quarter, and a long 3-pointer by Willow Rhoades as the half ended brought the Indians to within 37-29.
"We got a defensive lift from Willow Rhoades off the bench, but the entire team gave a good defensive effort," said Seneca head coach Bob Coffey. "I thought with our effort and intensity we matched them pretty well. I hope it was fun to watch."
After Carthage's third-quarter run, the closest the Indians could get was 54-41 after an 8-2 spurt that included two baskets by Rachel Butterfield and a field goal and an assist by Bailey Skelton.
"They kept battling even though we were down to a very good team," Coffey said. "That's very encouraging."
Carthage began the game with a 14-0 run that included two 3-pointers by Vanessa Pawlak, who led the Tigers with 20 points. Two 3-three pointers by Seneca's Mollie Cooper helped cut Carthage's lead to 20-12 late in the first quarter.
Cooper and Skelton, both juniors, each had 12 points, as did Carthage's Quincy Charleston.
Webb City 54, Purdy 31
Webb City ended a defensive stalemate and broke a 16-16 halftime tie with a 22-point third quarter.
Casey Heger and Mikaela Burgess led Webb City with 19 points apiece and Kaitlin Beason scored 10.
"Heger played outstanding," said Webb City head coach Brad Shorter. "Mikaela showed she can distribute the ball and be a complete player."
Heger scored the Cardinals' first five points of the second half on a 3-pointer and an offensive rebound after a missed shot.
After a 3-pointer by Billie House helped Purdy cut the lead to 28-24, Webb City closed out the third quarter with a 10-2 run that began with a basket by Heger assisted by Burgess.
Webb City limited Purdy to one field goal in the last 9 minutes, 43 seconds. Senior forward Mattie White led the Eagles with 11 points.
White scored six of Purdy's 10 points in the second quarter as the Eagles overcame an early 9-2 deficit.
"Yesterday we missed our inside shots. Today we missed our outside shots," Shorter said. "We were getting the ball where it needed to go, it just wasn't going in the basket."

Four more dominoes fell for the Fort Lewis College football program, including its first skill-position player.
Ameer Deggs, a 5-9, 170-pound running back transfer from Eastern Arizona College, was one of four recruiting chips announced Tuesday by new head coach John L. Smith.
Deggs is from Plaquemine, La., where he was a three-year starter at quarterback, running back and cornerback in high school. The former district MVP is "a little bit smaller, but the thing you don't sacrifice is speed," Smith said in a news release to The Durango Herald.
"We have to do our best to get the ball in his hands," Smith said of the former prep track star. "He has the chance to break it any time he touches it. We'll try to create ways to get the balls in the hands of the playmakers."
The other three recruits are another college transfer and a pair of Piedra Vista High School players from Farmington: Brandarius Johnson, a 6-2, 255-pound defensive end from Saddleback College, and Kolt Muńoz – a 6-1, 230-pound linebacker – and Dylan Terry – a 6-1, 255-pound lineman – from Piedra Vista.
"Brandarius is a very explosive, mobile athlete on the defensive side," Smith said of the Las Vegas native. "He provides a lot of versatility for us – he's a great defensive kid who can run, change directions and has a great knack for getting to the football."
Smith said Johnson's "speed and agility" are assets that could translate to multiple positions on the defensive line.
"He can also play a down end and rush off the edge as well," Smith said. "He could also provide you enough depth to move inside at times. He's had that kind of experience in the past."
Muńoz played five positions for the Panthers: defensive end, fullback, guard, linebacker and tight end.
"Kolt is the type of player who not only improves our depth at linebacker, but he's the type of guy who could be on all of your special teams as well," Smith said. "He is somebody who can get on the field real early on special teams."
Muńoz started one year at Piedra Vista, while Terry started three seasons – on both sides of the ball. The Panthers' placekicker was a first-team all-state selection on the defensive line and a second-team all-state selection on the offensive line.
"We'll probably start Dylan on the defensive side of the ball, but he's a player who has the capability to move to the other side," Smith said. "There's nothing better than an offensive lineman who started out as a defensive lineman. He can get a lot bigger and a lot stronger, but he can provide some depth to begin with."
The Skyhawks' recruiting class currently stands at nine players, including: defensive tackle C.J. Anderson, tackle Chris Friesen, guard Arthur Ray Jr., linebacker Ryan Ross and defensive end David Sweet.

The Sabres are about to get healthy in a big way.
Defenseman Tyler Myers, out since suffering a broken wrist Nov. 19, said today he is fully healed and is hopeful of returning Friday when the Sabres visit Carolina.
"It doesn't do any damage to really bear down, so it's just a matter of these next couple practices getting ready for Friday," Myers said in First Niagara Center. "Hopefully, by Friday I'll be ready to go."
Sabres forward Ville Leino, meanwhile, is still aiming to return Saturday when Buffalo hosts Winnipeg. Winger Tyler Ennis is also a possibility to return this weekend.
Jason Pominville, Jochen Hecht and Brad Boyes skipped practice for maintenance, coach Lindy Ruff said, but all will be fine by the next game.
"We've got a lot of good news coming," Ruff said. "We're getting good players back."

Can I use iTunes to create my podcast?
Podcasts cannot be created with iTunes. Mac users can use GarageBand for audio production; QuickTime, iMovie or Final Cut for video production; and iWeb for podcast feed creation. Mac OS X Server's Podcast Producer feature can also be used to capture high-quality audio and video from local and remote cameras, record screen captures and upload existing content to create high-quality podcasts. PC podcast makers also have a number of audio and video production programmes and feed-creation tools.
If you have video files that can be played in iTunes but cannot be successfully ported to iPod or Apple TV, the iTunes client application includes a Convert Selection for iPod command that will result in a file that works on all three platforms.
Can I host my podcast on iTunes?
iTunes does not host or cache podcast XML or media files. Podcasters host their own media files and RSS feeds on their own web servers, or by contracting with a third-party provider. The iTunes Store houses a searchable directory of podcasts, to which your podcast feed can be submitted.
How do I submit my podcast?
Submit your podcast feed URL to the iTunes Store here.
You can also find this link by going to iTunes Store, navigating to the Podcasts directory and clicking the "Submit a Podcast" link.
The terms and conditions of the Podcasts directory are covered by your iTunes Store account. As a result, you must be logged into an iTunes account in order to submit a podcast.
Can I submit a test feed?
iTunes does not accept test podcast feeds. Please test your feed by opening iTunes, clicking the Advanced menu and selecting "Subscribe to Podcast…". To diagnose problems with your feed, we also recommend Feed Validator.
I submitted my podcast, but I can't find it in the iTunes Store.
After you successfully submit your podcast, a confirmation email is sent to the email associated with your iTunes account. If an itunes:owner is specified in the RSS feed and includes an email address, this and subsequent emails will be sent to that address. You podcast is reviewed by iTunes staff before it goes live in the iTunes Store. If it is approved, you will receive another email, which includes a link to your podcast. The link works immediately, but your podcast is not immediately searchable. The iTunes Store servers must first index your podcast, a process which can take up to 24 hours.
Why do I need good metadata?
You need good metadata so people can find your podcast and decide whether or not to subscribe to it.
Your podcast's metadata includes all the information that describes your podcast for the potential subscriber, as well as for the iTunes search and browse infrastructure. The podcast's category and subcategory determine where the podcast will appear in the browse tree. The title, author, description and (up to 12) keywords are indexed by the iTunes search engine and used to determine relevance when compared with terms entered by the user in the Search iTunes Store box. A high percentage of users look for podcasts via search. If you don't have good, robust metadata, your podcast will not turn up in many searches. And when users do find your podcast, they may not have enough information to decide whether to subscribe.
Your podcast must have robust metadata to be eligible for featuring on the Podcast main page or the Store main page.
Why do I need cover art?
Attractive and interesting cover art attracts new subscribers to your podcast. Podcasts must have good cover art to be featured on the Podcast main page or the Store main page. Most good podcast images include an image as well as a title, brand or source name. A 300-by-300-pixel JPG is the recommended size and format. Using this relatively large format, the iTunes Store automatically generates the various smaller images you see in the podcast directory. Before you settle on the art for your podcast, you may want to review the Top Podcasts page and note the various elements that contribute to compelling art.
Why was my podcast removed or not approved?
Unauthorised copyrighted material, erotica, illegal solicitations and hate speech are prohibited in the iTunes Store. Podcasts with no episodes will be removed. Podcasts with no recent episodes can remain in iTunes but may disappear from some areas.
Can I have a review removed?
iTunes does not remove reviews for editorial purposes. Reviews with profanity, hate speech, explicit/pornographic content or commentary that is completely off topic are prohibited. To request removal of a review, click "Report a Concern" for that review.
Does iTunes allow podcasts containing advertising or sponsorship?
Can I sell my podcast in the iTunes Store?
No. Podcasts cannot be sold via the iTunes Store. Podcasts requiring an external username or password are prohibited.
Can I password-protect my podcast?
iTunes client application supports Basic and Digest Authorisation, but the iTunes Store does not list password-protected podcasts.
Do I need an iTunes account to submit a podcast?
Yes. You must sign in with a valid iTunes Store account to submit a podcast. Your account will not be charged.
How do I determine the number of subscribers to my podcast?
Podcasts are hosted on your server or a third party you designate. The iTunes store is acting as a directory, similar in function to a web directory. Furthermore, the iTunes client application does not report podcast download or unsubscribe information to the iTunes Store or any third party. Consequently, the iTunes Store does not provide subscription or download figures.
When selecting or setting up a host for your podcast, make sure you have access to server logs or some other way to monitor the number of times each podcast episode has been downloaded.
Can I earn money by linking to the iTunes Store?
Yes. You can earn a commission on sales of songs and films purchased by customers who linked to the iTunes Store from your website — even when your link leads to a free podcast. When you sign up as an iTunes Affiliate, you are given an affiliate tag to embed in your web links. When users click these links, a session variable is set in their iTunes client application, and anything they purchase in the next 24 hours is credited to your affiliate account. The iTunes Affiliate Program is available in selected countries.
How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an "artist page". Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click "Report a Concern" and select "Remove a Podcast". In the dialogue box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don't include "Inc.", "LLC" and so on), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.

Green Right Now
We're too familiar with the downsides of the holiday season. Bags of new things come into the house and get hidden in already-full closets and drawers. Boxes of decorations come out of their hiding places, muscling their way into your living space. Wrapping paper and ribbons multiply like guppies, scissors and tape go missing, cookies come out of the oven and the doorbell rings. When it's all over, we work to find places for the new stuff, stash the decorations again and vow to make next year different.

It's February. You've registered for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. Time for the rubber sole to hit the road! The following article provides a few tips for turning a New Year's running resolution into a specific goal, and finding a training plan to get moving towards that finish line.
Setting Goals
Resolutions are great but they can sometimes fall on the vague end of the spectrum: exercise more, eat better, quit smoking, etc. Hard to argue with any of those, but there's nothing like a specific goal to really get things rolling. Not only will it help define your end result, but it also suggests the path you need to take to get there.
We love the concept of a SMART goal. A SMART goal is:
S – Specific –Whether it's running your first race, running faster or further than before, or fundraising for charity, there's nothing like running for setting specific goals. For example, "At the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, my goal is to finish my first 5K race" or "My goal is to break four hours in the marathon." Either way, nice and specific.
M – Measurable – If you hang out with runners, you know running and measuring go hand in hand. Following from the previous point, "I will know I have achieved my goal if at the end of the Ottawa Marathon the timing clock says 3:59:59 (or better)." Check!
A – Attainable – If you arbitrarily set your sights on breaking the 2-hour marathon barrier, the experts say you're setting yourself up for disappointment or calamity (or both). Set yourself a good but realistic goal and you'll be challenged and rewarded. Our section on Training Plans can help with this. So can this handy calculator.
R – Relevant – Relevant goals are goals that matter. The more races you run, the more specific time-based goals will become relevant (e.g. 3:59:59). But there are other ways to make your racing goals relevant—like the opportunity to raise money for a charity that is important to you.
T – Time bound – Finally, it's important to know when you hope to achieve your goal. If you haven't registered, now's the time to give your goal a concrete timeframe, like May 25th or 26th, 2013.
Choosing a Training Plan
Now it's time to pick a training plan, the roadmap that will guide you from goal to result. Training plans vary widely. A training plan for a first 5K might focus on building fitness and endurance by switching between periods of walking and running, while a marathon training plan with a time goal will include a variety of different types of runs including:
So, in choosing a training plan, you need to account for at least three main factors: your goal (distance, speed or both), your relative fitness level and your available time.
Your current fitness level will help determine what is attainable in a given period of time and, in turn, the schedule you'll need to follow to move toward the result you want (e.g., how many miles you log in a week, days of rest, pacing). For example, if you're a beginner distance runner, you'll need more time to build the fitness and required to achieve certain results.
At the same time, you need to consider what kind of training regimen will fit into your day-to-day schedule, given work, school, family, social life, and so on. After all, a training plan will only be effective if you can actually follow it consistently.
So how can you make sense of all these variables and find the best training plan for you? Here are two easy steps:
Joining a club or training group is a particularly great way to find a training plan that works. The advice of a coach will be a huge help in setting an attainable goal and defining the training plan to help you reach it. Not to mention, running with a group is just a great way to stay motivated while training through the cold, dark Canadian winter—something we'll talk about next month.
In the meantime, check out our interview with Canadian distance running star Reid Coolsaet who suggests that when it comes to training plans, the proof is in the pudding. If you're able to execute the steps, feel good about your running and start seeing results, well, you've got a plan that works. The only thing left to do is run with it!
In the next few issues of the Pulse, we'll be talking to some of the elite runners who have appeared in our "I Love This Race" advertising campaign. Kicking it off this month is Reid Coolsaet, one of Canada's top marathoners and a member of our 2012 Olympic marathon squad. We talked to Reid about his Olympic experience, what makes for a good training plan, and his experience at the Ottawa Marathon. Many thanks to Reid for taking the time on the eve of a big training trip to Kenya.
1. You were once a serious skateboarder, and even have a sub 4-minute skateboard mile (3:49) posted on your list of personal bests. So how does a skater get hooked on distance running?
RC: When I was about 9 years old I got hooked on trail running, alpine ski racing and skateboarding. I continued to do all three until about 5 years ago when running started to take up the majority of my time and energy.
2. You wrote that standing on the starting line of the Olympic marathon this summer was a dream come true, but the race itself was challenging because of the heat and humidity. What do you take away from your experience in London?
RC: Running against the top runners in the world on the biggest stage tests a runner on so many levels and taught me things that will always stay with me. In one sense it's much more than just another marathon but at the same time it's a bunch of guys on a line trying to get to the finish as fast as they can. There was a lot more media attention on the Olympics which can be overwhelming but very positive if you channel the energy properly. The end of the race got really tough for me because I was bonking and it tested me on a whole other level than previous races. Hopefully that makes me a stronger runner.
3. Despite the conditions, the Canadian men's Olympic marathon team put on an amazing performance, with a team result only short of the Kenyans and Brazilians. How would you characterize the state and spirit of Canadian distance running going into 2013?
RC: Canadian distance running is on an upswing right now. Cam Levins did a lot of things in 2012 that no other Canadian has done before. We had two girls come close to qualifying for the Olympic marathon and hopefully inspire more Canadian women to commit to the longer distances. Never have we had three marathoners run under 2:11:30 in a 6-month period. With some of this young talent we're seeing right now (Mo Ahmed, Sheila Reid, Kelly Wiebe) we're poised to keep this momentum going strong.
4. You had a great marathon build up for the Olympics and you're on your way to Kenya for almost two months of training in preparation for an April marathon. How does a runner know he or she's got the right training plan?
RC: That's a very good question. I don't think I can fully answer it. For me, if I see my times, with a given effort, improve, I can say that I have the right training plan. Your coach, training environment, teammates, life factors all come into play, so even if you have "the right plan" on paper it might not lead to a PB if other factors aren't complimenting your training/racing. I'm lucky to have worked with a great coach, Dave Scott-Thomas, for the past 14 years and have always had a great training group at Speed River. Guelph and Hamilton have great trails and facilities, my family is supportive of my running and my sponsors treat me well. All those factors, and my monk-ish lifestyle for periods of time, contribute to running well.
5. In 2009, you won the Canadian Marathon Championship at the Ottawa Marathon. What do you remember about that race and what did that experience mean for you?
RC: The 2009 Ottawa marathon was my first marathon. I wasn't nearly as prepared as I would have liked to be and I was very curious to what it was going to feel like and how I would handle the distance. No matter how prepared one is the marathon is always a bit of a gamble. The first 25km was easier than I expected it would be. 25-35km felt like what I thought a marathon would feel like. And from 35km onwards it was much tougher than I was prepared for. In the end I ran under 2:18 and qualified for the World Championships. Overall it was a very positive experience and motivated me for future marathons.
6. Finally, can you tell us what you love about the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend? And will we get to see you back here in the future?
RC: I love racing at the Ottawa race weekend and would like to come back for the marathon one day. I was scheduled to race the 10km last year but I got sick that week and, unfortunately, had to pull out. If I recover well after a 2013 Spring marathon I would like to hit up the 10km again this year. The crowd support, good courses and overall organization of the weekend make it a treat to race there.

Software to Integrate LIMS with instruments
Do you want accurate and effective tracking and management of medical, scientific or food samples through your laboratory? If so, your LIMS needs to communicate seamlessly with your laboratory processes. You need… "a LIMS-lab pact"! Aitken Scientific made it happen for a major blue chip client – and it's a universal system that can work for your laboratory too.
For example, Fluidigm's Topaz Experiment Manager handles micro-titre plates from 96 up to 1536 formats each well holding different samples. Given that level of capacity, there was an enormous amount of manual intervention and re-keying involved to incorporate Topaz outputs into the lab operation.
Any input errors due to re-keying at the base data entry stage naturally compound at later stages, and could have a major impact on business processes down stream. This could have a major effect on regulatory areas too, in terms of the accuracy of sample tracking and subsequent records required for medical or other scientific bodies.
Aitken Scientific took on the task to create the LIMS-Lab interfaces that would eliminate the duplication and additional effort required of the scientists and lab technicians.
Our integrated software solution
Aitken Scientific developed the software interface, which extended the LIMS system to create seamless integration, communication and translation between LIMS and Topaz, with no re-keying or manual transcription of data.
This interface enables Topaz to prepare a query on the relevant sample data, translate the query into a format that the LIMS recognises, receive the data back from the LIMS and then convert it back into a format that Topaz recognises. This system is transparent in daily use, so requires no user training once implemented.
Simple, intuitive, accurate and effective… exactly the type of solution Aitken Scientific specialises in delivering.

Clean room with air con. Our wifi didn't work in our room which was a bit annoying. 5min walk to a metro and the colosseum. Not a party place but nice for us as we are a couple. Would stay again

The 2013 Honda Interstate touring bike is a blend of styles, making it quite the eye catching ride. It is part chopper yet part pro-street custom while flashing a retro cruiser attitude. It is designed to spend hours on the road with its long distance features such as rider floorboards, hard leather saddle bags and a custom windscreen.
The 2013 Interstate sports a 1312cc 52-degree V-Twin engine which delivers a roaring 74 horse power. Complementing this powerful, dominant engine is a liquid cooling system, PGM-FI fuel injection system with automatic enrichment circuit, compression ratio of 9.2:1, and a five-speed transmission with shaft final drive. The five-speed, shaft drive transmission not only helps deliver all the power the engine has to offer but it is also a very low maintenance and reliable part of the bike. This should be a nice added peace of mind when riding during a long trip. All of these components of this bike work collectively to give the rider all the power and torque needed for city and long distance riding.
To battle the woes of bumpy roads, the 2013 interstate sports a 1.6 inch diameter telescopic front fork with 4inches of travel and a rear twin sided swing arm with 3.9 inches of travel. This gives ample amount of cushion in the suspension to combat what roads may throw at a rider while enduring long distance riding. In addition to this forgiving suspension, the 2013 Interstate has several other superficial parts to it that make riding the bike something you may not want to end. The interstate sports large, hard leather bags for plentiful storage capacity, a custom full-size windscreen to help protect the face from potential hazards on the road, rider floorboards and a heel-toe shifter to give maximum comfort and minimal strain on the legs.
This bike is a great example of what a touring bike should look like and offer for a comfortable long-distance ride. It gives the rider everything one could ask for.

Environmentally responsible way to maintain your yard. No more piles of grass clippings, they decompose in the yard and feed your lawn. They will also still work to bag your clippings or leaves in the fall so no need to change back to regular blades. Consumer Reports gave them a positive review.

We should have ordered a mower with the mulching kit and did not. This is a great product and I wish we would have purchased it at the beginning of the summer. Mulches really good.
Greene, NY
via sears.com
This is the second kit I've bought in the past 4 years. There were no obstacles under mower and cover was double checked for proper installation. Engaged blades and a six inch hunk blew off nothing hit the cover. Upon inspection the cover had a bad molding. Sears does not offer just the cover..... Am I going to spend another $55 at Sears ... Nope... found one on **** just the cover for $24.
via sears.com
I read a few reviews about this kit prior to purchase and although I was skeptical I bought this kit. I found it easy to install (less than 30minutes). The blades are marked as to which direction to install and they lock well into place. I have been using this kit for three weeks now and am completely satisfied.

I needed to replace the mulching plate on my 46" tractor, but they don't sell just the plate, have to buy the entire kit! It had lasted 2 years before the bungy cords holding the clips on broke. The new one didn't even last a complete trip around my yard before breaking in the exact same spot! Not sure what I'll do now, don't want to spend another $59.75 for another gamble?

This kit for a 46 inch tractor deck doesn't fit my one week old model 247.28915 tractor and it is the only one listed for a 46 inch Sears mower deck. Sears parts central told me there is no mulch kit available for this model mower AFTER I bought it, I guess it's too new. Why make different kits and not tell anyone?

works good so far

The mulch kit was easy to install on my mower and does a fantastic job. I no longer have huge piles of grass around the yard.
Bastrop, LA
via sears.com
mulch kit attaches to mower deck and in place of directional clippings chute. Does not seal completely to mower deck. Consequently, clippings build up on top of mower deck instead of dropping on the ground.

If I possibly inspired Richard Averett's Dec. 26 defense of renewable energy, I can say more.
In addition to its political side, the mainstream environmental movement is also about varying degrees of disdain for our species — thinking of, and treating, the race as if it were something capable of little inherent good. Something to be contained, lest it have too much of a negative impact on Earth. And this idea is what's really behind the fracking issue. It's never been, or will be, about any particular method of extraction.
If natural gas could be removed by speaking, or thinking, it out, people like Yoko and Sean Lennon would still be against it. Under no circumstances do they ever want that stuff brought up, simply because its use would contribute to our environmental impact. So I really wish Sean and Yoko would just stop pretending it's only about finding a safer way. But they have to suspect that solar and wind alone won't be anywhere near a 21st century power source.
It even seems that someone so authoritative in the climate change issue as former NASA scientist James Hansen, has expressed the same theme about solar and wind, though in a much different context. I totally disagree with him on the idea that "those energy sources cannot scale up fast enough" to provide the amount of power people will need. The reality of renewable energy is this basic formula; the more we rely on them for the primary source of power, the less unrestricted use of it our current population will have. Only with a populace no higher than existed in perhaps 1600 can you reasonably expect renewable energy to be able to "scale up."
Otherwise, get ready for significant and extensive austerity.

I still can't figure out why they put that image in front of what you are doing though
You're welcome.
Lots of reactions :P
They show the animation disc in TV Paint too only not as annoying in Toon Boom. Guess they want to remind you're making an animation.
Your welcome oh, and by the way, do the ren & stimpy humor and style and plus, are you gonna sold "the heartaches" to nickelodeon like ren & stimpy?
Mike fontanelli is a pretentious hypocrite
Hey mike fontanelli how can you like bruce timm but not like modern superhero comics for being "dark" when timms work was known for its dark serious tone. Answer me that you egotistic fatass.
Hi John! I've inked one of your drawings. You can see it here.
My Deviant Gallery
I 'd like to know your thoughts.
If your animating on a cintique you should be able to rotate the actual cintique. They're two little bolt-things you can un-skrew in the back - once they're gone rotating the whole cintique is easy- just like an animation disc.

March has finally arrived. I'm extremely excited to announce a new project that will be taking place on Elite By Design over the next month.
As you can guess by the title, March will be dedicated to interviewing the best web designers, developers, entrepreneurs, and bloggers in the world – over 55 of them. That's right, over 55 interviews!
I've been hard at work for several weeks organizing my list of interviewees, researching, drafting questions, and compiling the final interviews. Each interview took me, on average, one to two hours to research the person being questioned, to draft the questions, to format the interviews, and to proofread each interview several times. This has been an exhaustive process. However, I know that the investment into this endeavor will be immeasurable.
I've attempted to develop well-formulated, thought-provoking questions for each person to keep you, the reader, entertained and interested. It is my objective that each question will offer you insight not only into the lives of each specific person, but also into different methods of finding inspiration, managing time, designing beautiful websites, growing online businesses, and writing blog posts. I believe that the time I've invested into these interviews will help us all to become inspired, motivated, and energized to pursue our own online goals.
Each interview will only be 4-6 questions, making it more digestible for readers. I've cut out all the fluff and gotten straight to the good questions.
The Interviewees
Here is a list of the designers I will be featuring during the next 30 days:
