Mantra Esplanade Cairns
Travel Blogs from Cairns

Hi! Me again, cairns has been amazing! Day one was the regular try to take it slow on your first day of holidays but your mind is still sizzling with plans, ideas and to-do lists. (Well that's me anyway) I eventually got into holiday / relax mode, where I plan to be for the next 7 months! Monday, we went snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef at 3 …
A Welcome & A Confession
Hi, my name is Georgie - and I am a "Travel-o-holic" ever since I can remember my dream has been to travel and not stop, I have a hunger - a desire to see everything, meet everyone, ask a million questions and master the world. Not like Men In Black style where I want to knock out the human race so please put the phone down and stop calling the …
Arrival at Cairns
G'day from Cairns It's even warmer here in Cairns and quite humid. Everywhere is very green, even the birds, green lorikeets. They make quite a noise in the morning and in the evening. There are others birds as well. On the first evening we were here we wondered what the black birds were flying around after dark. They have a 2ft wingspan so were …
Brisbane to Toowoomba to Brisbane to Cairns
Well here we are in the Tropical North of Queensland, a little gem of a place called Cairns....... How did we get here?? By planes and trains and automobiles, which sounds very much like a title of a song but since Bill sings like a drowning kangaroo and Tina has been at the local ginger beer, we will just have to explain. Having landed at Brisbane …
Australia here we come.
It was now the end of our 3 days in HK. The flight from HK to Cairns in Queensland, Australia, which was on Australia Airlines, took around 6 hours. Luckily this night flight was only half full, so I managed to get a whole row of 3 seats all to myself to sleep on. We arrived at Cairns at 4:30am. We got on the shuttle bus to our hotel, which was the …
The mantra esplanade is in a terrific location right on the esplanade and close to everything. The apartments are your typical one bedroom apartment style with a small kitchenette and laundry.
The front office service was inconsistent, some days we would have really helpful staff and the other days we had staff members That seemed rather disinterested and didn't dally want to be there answering my questions. I also felt the security was very relaxed as we were not checked for our name or photo any time we needed our card rewritten to get in the room.
The bed is very soft, which I found uncomfortable as I have a bad back, but I'm sure this would suit other people. All in all this was an okay stay, it just did not feel quite upto the regular mantra standard.This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

We're expecting our first child in January and I am keen on CD'ing. I have already made several wool covers in size newborn and small (and will be making more), so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with only using wool as covers (as opposed to PUL covers). Also, someone from my DDC suggested using fitteds with wool, because she said that prefolds don't catch the poop as well. Wouldn't a properly pinned prefold catch poop as well as a fitted? Thanks for your help!!

Definition of dezincification in English:
Syllabification: de·zinc·i·fi·ca·tionPronunciation: /dēˌziNGkifiˈkāSHən
- A form of corrosion and weakening of brass objects in which zinc is dissolved out of the brass alloy.More example sentences
- Tin additions significantly increase the corrosion resistance of some brasses, especially resistance to dezincification.
- Alloys above 15% Zn need a stress-relieving heat treatment to avoid stress corrosion and, under certain conditions, can be susceptible to dezincification.
- The material will obtain a deep dezincification, since the dezincification will follow the long beta-phase bands.

Day care placed on precautionary lockdown
Police seek suspect in domestic incident
Telegraph staff report
ALTON — Alton Day Care and Learning Center was put on a precautionary lockdown Monday morning while Alton police searched for a man involved in a domestic incident.
The Alton Police Department sent an officer to the school as a safety precaution while they attempted to track down an individual who was involved in a prior domestic incident, Alton Police Public Information Director Emily Hejna said.
"We are investigating an incident. There has been no confirmed threat against the day care at this time," Hejna said.
The person in question is believed to have children who attend the day care, prompting the precautions. Hejna said the department had an officer stationed at another location as well while they looked for the man.
Alton police Monday night continued to look for Jerry A. Thomas, 27, the 300 block of Mitchell Street in Alton. Police said Thomas is wanted for aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony; and domestic battery, a Class 4 felony and his second subsequent offense. Bond was set at $60,000.
Hejna asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to call the Alton Police Department at 618-463-3505.

One person on the face of this earth that we can call our own is our home. This is where we relax and enjoy with our family. No matter where we are we long to go back home. In today's times it is very unlikely to buy a house without taking loan. All of us have to take loan in order to own a house.
There are many institutes that help their clients in getting loans for their homes. Home loans in Australia are the most popular and easy way of owning or renovating a house. Some banks and financial institutes give pre approval home loans in Melbourne.
These loans are given on the basis of the client's ability to payback. Though the government also helps those who are homeless to get a loan and buy a house. Many companies have sites where one can get full information of all the paper work that is involved in getting a home loan. Home loan application and options are available online. This information is priceless for those who are very much interested in getting a home loan.
Those who want to know all about the institutes and banks that give home loans can go to the sites and do a detailed comparison between interests charged, duration of the loans, other charges etc. This is very important as when one compares these points one can choose the best kind of loan. The installment that is made should be comfortable to the client to pay on time.
There are many companies that undertake the task of brokering between the clients and the banks. Many clients who want the brokers to do the paper work for them. These brokers take care of the complete documentation and paper work. They monitor the process of loan approval and make sure that all the requirements are met.
Home loan broker plays a very significant role in the process of loan approval. They facilitate the process by reducing the trouble caused to the clients. They are expert in the field and know the documentation required .The commission that they take is very nominal as compared to the task that they do.
Many land lords need the services of mortgage broker in Melbourne. They are actively involved in the complete process of mortgage and help doing the entire paperwork pertaining to the process. The clients enjoy their expert services and experienced information for a small amount of commission.
It is very important some times to get complete information about a process before one gets involved in it. The home loan brokers, mortgage brokers help their clients get the right information about the loans and the documentation involved. Their experience and expertise is very beneficial for those who take their services. A lot of information is given on the various home loan sites.
One should take the full advantage of this information and make the best of it. Hope that all of us can own a house some day. The help of financial institutes and banks make this herculean task a bit light. Giving small installments is very easy rather than giving the entire amount in one go. Hope we can make the best of the home loans available to us and make the house of our dreams.

How to Use Bed Sheets to Quilt:
Using bed sheets to quilt is a real time and money saver. Regardless of quilt size, you can usually find a bed sheet large enough to make piecing the backing unnecessary. Available in a variety of colors and prints, bed sheets are an inexpensive, versatile and durable quilt backing option. When buying bed sheets for use in quilts, feel the sheet fabric to ensure that it is soft and smooth. Also, choose only those that are 100 percent cotton and have a thread count of 200 or less. Select percale or opt for flannel for added warmth and coziness
Instructions- Wash the sheet by machine in hot water to test for colorfastness and tumble dry on high heat to eliminate future shrinkage. Iron, if necessary
- Measure the quilt top, both horizontally and vertically
- Measure the sheet and make sure that it is at least 4 to 6 inches larger than the quilt top, both horizontally and vertically. Trim away the finished edges to reduce bulk. Further trim the sheet if it is more than 8 to 10 inches larger than the quilt top in either direction
- Lay the sheet right side down on a large, flat surface such as a bed or freshly cleaned floor. Gently smooth the sheet to eliminate wrinkles. Layer first the batting and then the quilt top, placed right side up, on the sheet and smooth them from the middle to the edges
- Pin or baste the three layers together. Starting in the middle, place safety pins about 6 inches apart over the entire surface of the quilt top. Be sure that all three layers remain smooth during this process
- As an alternative to safety pins, sew rows of basting stitches by hand from edge to edge about 6 inches apart both horizontally and vertically. Basting stitches are long, temporary stitches formed by running a single strand of thread through all layers of the quilt. For easy stitch removal, secure each end of the stitch line with a backstitch
- Quilt as desired either by machine or with simple ties. By machine, use a free motion foot for free motion quilting or use a walking foot to follow the seam lines on the quilt top or create other straight-line designs. Start in the middle and work toward the edges. If safety pins are present, remove them from the area being quilted. To avoid tucks or puckers in the backing, remove the quilt from the machine periodically and check to ensure that the backing remains smooth. Adjust the pins or basting, if necessary.
- If tying the quilt, use a needle with a large eye and yarn or pearl cotton. Work from the center out, forming a grid with ties placed every 4 to 6 inches
- Once the quilting is complete, trim the backing and batting even with the edges of the quilt top
- Bind the quilt with commercial quilt binding, following the instructions provided, or make quilt binding by cutting 2 1/2-inch strips from the sheet or other fabric
- If using homemade binding, cut two strips the length of the quilt and two strips that are 2 inches longer than the width of the quilt. Fold the strips in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Matching the raw edges, sew the side strips to the edges of the front of the quilt using a 1/4-inch seam. Turn the binding over the edge of the quilt to the back and hand or machine stitch into place. Repeat this process for the top and bottom of the quilt, folding the ends of the binding under 1 inch at the corners prior to stitching. After stitching the binding into place front and back, hand stitch the folded ends together to make a neat finish
How to Match Bedding & Bath Sets:
Enjoy decorating or rejuvenating a bedroom and bath with style and comfort. An en suite master bedroom and bath is one of the most likely sets of rooms that needs matching linens. Choose a theme and color that flow from one room into the next. Matching colors will give an added benefit as all coordinating items may be laundered together
Instructions- Buy bedding that reflects the theme chosen for the room. The decor of the room may be based on the owner's favorite style, time period or colors. Modern, traditional, ethnic and antique furniture will also affect the choice of theme. European luxury, floral, botanical, Moroccan, Gothic, Zen and country are some adult bedding themes. Children enjoy animals, nature, career, character and sports themes in their bedroom decor
- Pick out two to three colors that are found in the bedding pieces when shopping for bathroom items. If you have a cloth color swatch, bring it with you to refer to while shopping. Use an artist color wheel or paint chips to find hues or shades that will match the bedding. For instance, a seacoast-themed set of sheets, bed skirt and comforter may have a variety of blues, tan, greens and whites to choose from
- Shop for bath sets that include towels, face cloths, shower curtain and floor rugs to match the coloring or theme in the bedding set. Themed bath sets with embroidered sea shells, characters, florals and prints will compliment the themed items in the bedroom. A Gothic-themed bedroom with red sheets and bed skirt combined with a black down-filled comforter will match well with deep red towels, black rugs and white washcloths
- Hold the color sample or pillowcase of the new bedding against an item or two from the bathroom set that you are interested in purchasing. If the color match is satisfying, purchase the bath items. If unsure, purchase a hand towel or face cloth before committing to a full set of bath items. Take the items home to place near the bedding to test the color match
- Match similar types of materials for the bed and bath. Mix lush towels with luxurious bedding. Combine crisp cotton, Egyptian cotton or soft organic materials for the bed and bath
Package Included:
- 1 x Sheet
- 1 x Quilt Cover
- 2 x Pillowcases

With the free-to-play revolution (or plague, depending on your point of view), MMO gamers now have so many more options for inexpensive play than ever before. But that's never good enough for us; we always want more, more, more!
So let's take F2P to an extreme and tackle this hypothetical: Suppose every current MMO was completely free -- no box price, no subscription, no microtransactions, nada. Would the freedom from any sort of financial consideration change what games you play and how you play them, or would you pretty much be doing what you're doing now?
Personally, I can't see it radically changing my gaming lifestyle. I play what I want to right now, as either subs or microtransactions are affordable enough to keep down to just a few bucks a month at most. But maybe that's just me. What about you?
Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

A Rights-based Approach to Civil Society and Public Interest Law in China
January 31, 2013 | 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Silverman 270
Public interest lawyer Jia Ping and civil society activist Zhang Tao will share their insiders' perspectives on challenges facing civil society leaders and public interest lawyers in China. Both have been working at the forefront of HIV/AIDS awareness and rights protection for almost a decade.
Mr. Jia and Ms. Zhang will begin with an introduction to civil society and legal development in China over the past two decades, followed by insights into their pioneering efforts to found the Health Governance Initiative, one of China's first 'watchdog' nongovernmental organizations. Their inspirational account of how the health sector has become an entry point for a rights-based approach to accountable governance has wide implications for the future of China's civil society development.
Registration for this event is now closed.

SALINAS, Calif. (AP) - Salinas police say a man headed for a Northridge Mall bank to make a deposit had to be treated at a hospital after being robbed and shot in the leg.
Police tell The Monterey County Herald (http://bit.ly/LrISg5 ) that the victim was getting out of his car with a money bag in his hand Monday evening when he was confronted by a masked man with a gun who demanded the cash.
The victim refused and there was a struggle for the gun but police say the robber was able pull the gun away, snatch the bag and shoot the victim.
Police say the gunman ran across the street to a parking lot where it appears an accomplice with a car was waiting.
Salinas is about 100 miles south of San Francisco.

Hot answers tagged dns
According to Steve Kondik, this is essentially old code that is leftover from older versions of CyanogenMod:
This was only here for apps that were statically linked against uclibc in old CM versions. It can likely just be removed.
However, he also goes on to note:
Also, this file is NOT written when connecting to a network as /system is readonly. ...
On a typical Linux system the cache is cleared by running /etc/init.d/nscd restart, but at least my ROM doesn't use nscd to cache DNS. You can check if yours does, but I doubt it. I've seen suggestions that clearing the brower cache would clear DNS cache too, but one sure way is to do a hard reboot (shutdown, remove battery for 30s, reattach battery and ...
While you're on Wifi, have a look in Wi-Fi settings > menu|Advanced.
It looks like it's easier when you're on Wifi than when you're on a celular signal (3 or 2.5g).I've found a blog post here that seems to do what your asking, but you may need to have rooted the phone, or at least be comfotable with editing a few system bits and bobs.
In Android, the DNS Cache is not on the OS level (Linux), but on the Java level (managed by java.net.InetAddress). Therefore, it is not possible to list the cache contents from the shell, however you can access it from the Java code.
Please see Java DNS cache viewer question on StackOverflow, one of the answers has a sample Java code that prints the ...
Addresses are cached for 600 seconds (10 minutes) by default. Failed lookups are cached for 10 seconds. From everything I've seen, there's nothing built in to flush the cache. This is apparently a reported bug in Android because of the way it stores DNS cache. Clearing the browser cache doesn't touch the DNS, the "hard reset" clears it because it simply ...
You can solve this issue either from the Android side or from the Windows side:
From the Android side
Tap your device "menu" button, and select "settings";
Tap "Wireless & networks";
Tap "Wi-Fi settings";
Tap your device "menu" to bring up extra options and select "advanced";
Tap "Use static IP";
Fill in your local network static IP details and dns ...
You could report the bug to the Android developers, or vote on an existing bug, if there already is one open. This one looks a bit like the issue you are talking about.
Make sure you explain exactly what is happening, and how they can reproduce the issue.
This is really a continuation of @Zuul's answer, to cover the DNS settings in Android 4.0+ (ICS), which is a little harder to find IMO. AFAIK Zuul's answer covers Android <2.3 settings.
From the Android side (Android 4.0+ ICS)
WiFi (click on word "WiFi", not ON/OFF switch)
Press and hold (long tap) your wireless network until dialog pops up
The only way to do this in Android is to do a hard reboot. The necessary command-line tools are not normally available, however in my tests a hard reboot has always done the trick for me (Galaxy Nexus, and HTC Desire, various ROMs).
This is a pain, but it is quicker than the 10min cache timeout.
In the March 2014 update to SSHelper the documentation states new changes to it's Zeroconf broadcasting name. In the documentation Configuration section of the details it describes the checkbox to "Enable Zeroconf broadcasting". When this is enabled any other client on the local network, will be able to browse and then connect for SSHelper on the network.
You can change the dns settings in Android, but you need to root your phone first:
I don't believe there is a way to password protect the dns settings, but at least it wouldn't be obvious for them to figure out how to change the settings.
Of course, one thing you can do to ...
OK just found it. In wifi settings press and hold the connected network you want to set IP to. Pick modify network and in there you scroll down, to DHCP settings and pick static and scroll down to et your IP. Kinda complicated comparing to non sense android. O well. Hope that helps OP or any other fellow searcher.
It took a lot of effort but I actually found a working solution to my problem.
I first updated my phone to latest available Android version 2.3.6 and that did not solve my problem. So I installed an App that shows me more details about the network setup of my phone. And after some digging around I noticed what was wrong:
My phone didn't have a default IPv4 ...
This is a known design problem when using statically linked libresolv and glibc.
You have 2 options:
Use Google Android's native libc Bionic library instead of glibc.
Build busybox to search libraries in /system/lib (or make the necessary links e.g. /usr/lib -> /system/lib ). Place ld-linux.so.3, libc.so.6, libresolv.so.2, libnss_dns.so.2 in your ...
The very-originally-named Dynamic DNS Client is a fairly popular app for this purpose.
As for service, noip is popular, free, and reliable in my experience.
I have yet to find a way to create a hostname for an Android device. What I have done is that I set an IP reservation for my phone, so that every time I go to use SSH (I use QuickSSHd, but it should work for SSHelper) you can at least point to the same IP address.
There is no way to set a host name for the phone, that I have found.
Sadly, it may be impossible to do as of right now, however, it is possible to try DNS Changer. This may work if you are rooted, but there are no guarantees.
A good DNS service to use would be Google's public DNS service. It tends to work out very well for these type of issues right here.
If none of this works, keep looking for answers. A good site for ...
I went through a free web service called dnsomatic (run by the folks at opendns)
It's as simple as signing up for an account and adding opendns to your services. No configuration beyond that.
For Android users busybox versions of wget are way behind and don't have options to use user names and passwords, so we will have to install and use cURL
Regardless whether you're connected to your local network via WiFi and DHCP is in use, Android always seems to override its DNS entries using Google's servers. It's somewhat hidden, but easy to change – provided you have your own DNS running (a lot of routers offer that already).
To do so, go to your list of WiFi networks in Settings, long-press your WiFi's ...
I ended up manually changing my DNS server to tether Internet from my mobile phone. My phone uses a local DNS server from my mobile carrier which I was able to trace using CompruebaIP.
Any other DNS server is blocked by my mobile carrier (Globe Telecom). I reckon that my phone's DNS service is not properly working. When tethering, the DNS provider should be ...
I have been using the free SSHelper (without rooting) since it recently added zeroConf broadcasting. It provides an SSH and RSYNC (file transfer) server, while also broadcasting a ZeroConf name. Another avahi/bonjour client can connect without needing to know the android hostname. Explained in more detail in this other answer: Set hostname for SSHelper
Do you have any control over the (presumably wireless) LAN that you're connecting your phone to? It seems to me that the main part of your problem is just that your phone picks up different IP addresses each time it connects to your LAN. If it always had the same IP, then you could either make a note of this, save it in your SSH client, or assign a name to ...
Currently there is no Avahi daemon on Android and open ticket #354 at Avahi tracker, where there are attached patches, needs to be addressed to make a build for Android possible.
You can try to build it manually, if really needed.
You might want to take a look at the DNS Settings app, which claims to be able to do what you want (you just have to switch once to a static IP to change the DNS settings, and then switch back to dynamic IP, according to the description). That's the only non-root app I could find for this issue -- there are two more apps at least, but they require root to ...
I haven't tried this, but a quick look at Android's bionic libc sources seems to indicate that Android might use /etc/ppp/resolv.conf:
(from http://code.metager.de/source/xref/android/4.1.1/bionic/libc/private/resolv_private.h#113)
92 /*
93 * Resolver configuration file.
94 * Normally not present, but may contain the address of the
95 * initial name ...
There're also apps like Internet Booster promising to "clear DNS cache" (amongst other things). I didn't try it out myself, and furthermore there seems no way to do only that (just one "optimize" button which "applies improvements"); also its effects might differ between devices (says the app's description) -- but it might be better than a reboot. Btw: while ...
I've copied (and slightly changed) my answer from a comment I posted on an issue on the Google code page for Terminal IDE, however, it should be the same:
If you are rooted, you can install the latest version of busybox (you may be able to compile it). Then find out where you updated busybox is and run the following commands: (I'm assuming the new version ...
When on WiFi you can manually set IP information, Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings > Menu button > Advanced. Mind you it would be very easy for anyone to modify those settings.
As far as when connected via cellular, I do not know of anyway to modify those DNS settings as they come from the carrier and the carrier's towers. I'm pretty sure ...

With semi-rimless eyeglasses, the plastic or acetate rim partially surrounds lenses, leaving one or more edges exposed. Typically, the rim wraps around the top half of the frame, but there are more playful styles available that have a bottom rim instead. These are some of the best eyeglass frames for men and women because semi-rimless design allows you to show off your taste and personality while maintaining a refined look. Fans of semi-rimless frames include celebrities like Jennifer Garner.

Thomas asks…
what is the best way to train for a half marathon?
I can run a 10K in under an hour, and now I am looking for ideas for a training programme for a 1/2 marathon in Sept.
I have never ran further than 10K before!

Donna asks…
devising a marathon training program around a busy job?
I love to run but i do full time shift work. I get a full week off once every month and a half, and otherwise do an average of three 12 hour shifts in a row with a 2-4 days break in between.
I try and train about three times a week but am quite sporadic and i'm loosing motivation.
The best half marathon i've done was in 1.51, and i found it moderately difficult. I would love to do my first marathon in September but my real goal is to get a 1.30 time for a half marathon. I have no idea how to go about this goal.
It's a 1.71 mile walk to walk (currently i cycle it) which i could run some days…it's very difficult getting the motivation to go for a run after a 12 hour shift, during which i often don't get a proper lunch break just a sandwich standing up (issue for another time ;)).
I'm 4ft 11 and weigh 103lb. My diet is averagely good, lots of fresh fruit and veg, almost no alcohol, good carbs and occasioanl meat and fish, lots of eggs. The only time things go downhill is at work when i snack on whatever is to hand (chocolates, lol.)
Ideas on making a training plan please! Thanks so much for any help.
admin answers:
The important thing here is to get a programme that fits with your lifestyle. So for example, it is no good me saying to run 3 miles every other day and a long run on a Sunday morning since this won't work for you.
There was some things in your question that sounds good – You Love to run and you can run a half marathon which is brilliant start.
The basis for putting together a programme is to mix regular runs with a longer run every so often and a shorter faster paced run every so often too. I would say normally to do 2 or 3 runs and a weekly longer run – the longer run being half as long again as the normal runs (so a 4 mile normal run would give you a 6 mile longer run). In between where you are now and a month before the marathon work out these distances to give you a long run of about 18 miles 4 weeks before the marathon. This gives a sort of idea of how far to run each week. Then every few weeks stop the increases in distance and have an easy week of running.
This might give you something like:
Week 1 – Run
Week 2 – Do week 1 + 10 % increase in distance
Week 3 – Do week 2 + 10 % increase in distance
Week 4 – Do week 3 + 10%
Week 5 – Easy week – do week 3 again
Week 6 – Do week 4 again
Week 7 – Week 6 + 10%… And so on
Work out the increases from what long run you think you can do now and end with a long run before marathon.
But for you specifically you might want to change it a bit. Try to get two 6 mile runs (10k) on your 4 rest days if you can't run after work much and this will maintain your fitness. Every other long 2 to 4 days you might want to try a longer run. With the full week off this is ideal to put in some longer runs – try going for a long run at the start of that week and at the end of that week to build your stamina. The shorter runs will maintain your fitness levels
If you can run into work in the mornings then try this every other day. In fact if you can leave a little earlier and try to do a 30 minute run – if you can – once a week? Though if you want, you can use the 1.7 miles as a speed session. Warm up for half mile, run the next half fast and hard and then cool down – this gets speed into your legs and makes longer running feel easier
Summary then:
Use your 2 day 'weekend' to do a couple of 6 mile runs
Use your 4 sat 'weekend' to do a 6 miles and a longer run
Use your long week to do 2 long runs – one at the start, one at the end, and perhaps a shorter than normal run in the middle
Run to work every other day, if you can do a 30 minute run do that, if not every 2 runs try a speed run session
Build up the distance of your long runs over time to reach an 18 -20 mile peak about a month before marathon day and then ease off again
Long run should be at a pave where you can sing in your head or talk to people
Normal runs should get you out of breath but not so much that you need to stop
Fast speed session – fast bit should be all out, otherwise long run pace.
Hope that gives you a couple of ideas.
Last big tip is to enter a 10k race or even a half marathon before race day just to add short term goals
If you need any more specific advice, ask again or send me a mail
Paul asks…
What's the best way to train for a half-marathon?
I'm quite out of shape – 20 years old, 5'7″ around 170 lb. and can barely run a 12 minute mile. I'd like to run a half-marathon in a year, but what's the best workout program to get in shape for it? Ideally, I'd like to lose weight in the process, but I just need to get healthy, fast.
admin answers:
My friend, Stephanie Partridge, wrote an article on training for long distance runners. Her focus was on weight training, but it may help you some if you incorporate it with other advice here.
Distance runners who incorporate weight training into their fitness regime enjoy many benefits. Total body conditioning provides an all around toning of the whole body beyond the sport. By adding free weights or resistance machines (Nautilus and Cybex are two popular ones), or both, to their program, runners enjoy strengthening of not only their legs, but their cardiovascular system as well. Additionally, they increase their strength all over and are less likely to be injured. When they are also spending adequate time practicing their chosen sport, distance running or whatever, their endurance for their sport will be improved with strength training.
Benefits to the Whole Body
The body is broken down into three specific regions, the upper body, abdominals or core and the lower body. Each region has a purpose and supports the total body function. Therefore, each region needs to be conditioned.
Upper Body
When a runner runs, his or her arms swing. This is a natural movement in running and
runners adapt this motion and use it to their advantage as a method of propulsion.
Therefore, a runner with a strong upper body is more likely to run faster and more
efficiently than one who is lacking in upper body strength.
Abdominals or Core
The abdominal area is the core of the body. Strength in this region aids in protecting the
back while it helps the runner maintain his or her proper form. This helps them to
perform more efficiently. This protects the core from injury.
Lower Body
The lower body region is the part that propels the runner. It is also the part of the body
that the runner uses most, but there is some imbalance in the muscle groups that develop.
The runner's hamstrings and calf muscles develop faster than their quadriceps and shins.
A good weight training program helps to counter this imbalance. As an added bonus,
strong quads and hips help to protect the lower body from injury.
Benefits Beyond Running
By employing total body conditioning, the runner will experience other benefits. A leaner body due to increased fat burning capabilities occurs. The benefits extend beyond improving the runner's abilities.
More Efficient Fat Burning
The more muscle that a person has, the more efficient the body is at metabolizing
glucose. In short, more muscle means less fat. The body becomes a fat burning machine.
Change in Body Composition
As the body ages, its composition changes. Lean muscle decreases while fat deposits
increase. Weight training and strength training slows this process.
Bone Protection
This benefit is particularly vital to women. Weight training helps to protect bones.
When the muscles tug on the person's bone structure during weight training, the result is
a facilitation of bone regeneration.
Reduction in Other Health Risks
Weight training is believed to reduce the risk factors for health conditions such as adult
onset diabetes and heart disease.
Weight Training Guidelines
There are a few standard rules that should be followed when establishing a weight training program. For instance, when working out it is best to work the upper body one day and the lower body the next, allowing a full 24 hours for one muscle group to rest before training it again. The abdominals can be trained every day, without any breaks. It is best to use lighter weights with more repetitions as opposed to heavy weights and fewer repetitions.
When using the weights or resistance machines, use slow, controlled movement when executing the motion from the starting and when returning to the starting point. Use light weights with many reps. Doing greater weight with fewer reps adds bulk and strength. While the strength may be good, bulk will slow down a runner. In distance running, this can be a great disadvantage. Running is one sport where extra muscle bulk is not desirable.
Working the major muscle groups and achieving full body conditioning helps the body avoid late race fatigue. It also allows the runner to run faster during the first ninety-eight percent of a distance race. By getting stronger, the runner is better protected from injury and better equipped to handle the stress that a runner puts on his or her body.
Upper Body
•Bench Press
•Push Ups
•Barbell Row
•Back Extension
•Dumbell Military Press
•Front Raises
•Concentration Curls
•Basic Crunch
•Crunch on Exercise Ball
•Half Curl
•Reverse Crunch
•Crossover Crunch
•Side Bends
•Weighted Curls with Medicine Ball
•Cable Crunches
Lower Body
•Barbell Deadlift
•Barbell Squat
•Plie Squat
•Straight Leg Raises
•Straight Leg Hip Flexion
•Hamstring Rolls
Fat vs. Muscle
Fat does not turn into muscle. This is a physical impossibility yet many people erroneously believe it can be done. A fat cell is always a fat cell, no matter what is done. Fat cells do not go away, but they do decrease in size when the body's energy it expends exceeds its caloric intake. While a runner may take in more calories, he or she will increase muscle mass, especially is weight training. This increased muscle mass does result in a lower body fat percentage. However, the scales may not reflect a reduction in numbers. This is because the lost body fat is replaced with muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.
Don't Forget to Stretch!
The final element to a successful total body conditioning program is to round out each weight training session with some good stretches for the muscle group that is being worked. Each workout session should be started with some stretching exercises, but after the workout the muscles should be stretched again. Some simple stretches can accomplish this, but for a more rounded program it may be a good idea to incorporate yoga, pilates or ballet into the overall program. This will offer the distance runner a true total body workout with stretching, cardio, sport training and weight training.
Sharon asks…
Any advice for running a half-marathon?
I am currently training for the Pittsburgh half-marathon on May 5th. I'm in my second week of a nine-week training program that I put together based on a variety of different programs to fit my ability.
My goal is to finish the race in at least 3 hours. I will probably do a run/walk combination throughout the race, but we'll see. I've run a few 5ks before, with my best time being right around 34 minutes. I'm a bit on the heavy side, but I can maintain a pretty good pace for someone my size.
I'm just looking for any advice that experienced runners may have. Such as…
– What do I wear on race day? Is a t-shirt and running shorts sufficient?
– I know there will be water stops along the way. But do I need to bring anything with me? Do I need to use those gels?
– I'm training with a pair of Asics running shoes that are very comfortable for me. Do I need a different pair of shoes for the race?
Any other advice is welcome. I know that some negative person out there will give me some sort of stupid response and try to discourage me. It's been my goal for awhile now, and all I want to do is cover the distance. I know I can do it.
admin answers:
Lester and Running4yaweh are both correct. The only thing that has not been mentioned is your program. Hopefully you found in your research that the long run is perhaps the most important run of the week. While the weekday runs will help you retain endurance, the long run will help you increase your endurance.
Starting with your longest run in the past 3 weeks (probably the 5K), increase your long run by one mile per week up to 10, then increase 2 miles every two weeks. On alternate weeks run just half the distance of your long run to allow your body to recover and grow stronger.
Your run/walk strategy is a good one. With a 34 minute 5K you should have no trouble maintaining a 13:30 minute per mile pace. 13:44 minutes per mile will get you to the finish line in under 3 hours!
Good luck.

Published September 21, 2012 12:00 Sixteen-year-old Donna Vekic has emerged as one of the freshest new faces on the WTA in recent weeks. With some impressive power and poise for someone so young, Vekic reached her first WTA final in Tashkent. Vekic came through qualifying and ended up as the runner-up, falling to Irina-Camelia Begu in the final. Vekic was the youngest player to make it to a WTA final since Tamira Paszek won Portoroz six years ago. By virtue of the result, Vekic surged from No.183 to a new career-high of No.121 on the WTA Rankings. Vekic is the youngest player in the Top 500, and one of only three players in the Top 500 born in 1996. Born in Osijek, Croatia, Vekic started playing tennis at six years old and is currently based in London. These photos were from Vekic's first photo shoot - the Croatian enjoys the fashionable side of tennis. Vekic had just signed with Nike and had an array of different clothes to enjoy and try on for the shoot. Vekic was happy to do the photo shoot and particularly enjoyed the shots with the wind blowing in her hair. Topics: 2012, news, photos or videos, donna vekic Share this page!

Eastern Iowans Dominate State Duck Calling ChampionshipsBy John Campbell, Reporter
BURLINGTON, Iowa -- You knew you were in the right place the minute you stepped indoors.
The lobby of the Catfish Bend Hotel in Burlington was loud and crowded last Saturday, with tons of vendors hawking hundreds of duck calls. But the heavy hitters were in a nearby ballroom. It was the Mississippi Valley Calling Classic State Championship, with fourteen of Iowa's best going at it. "Iowa's probably one of the toughest contests, next to Arkansas, in the United States" said Dubuque native Dan Oberfoell. "I do a lot of practicing," said Rob Bevins, of Belle Plaine. "I practice with a light in front of me, the same way that we have on stage. "I'm getting pretty used to it. Still, a guy gets nerves." The top three finishers all hail from Eastern Iowa. Oberfoell, the 2007 winner, finished third. "The first round, I was a little iffy. The second round, I blew really well," Oberfoell said. "The third round, I wish I could have one part of it back. But other than that, I felt pretty good." Dubuque native and last year's winner, J.J. Moser, claimed second place. Bevins won it all this year to bring home his second state title. "I felt like I called pretty good today, uh, you know, very good" Bevins said. "Just got a new call for Christmas, or right around there, and I got it broken in right up there on stage. "I think it went a lot smoother than it did the last couple of years." Winning the Iowa state title qualifies Bevins for the World Championships in Stuttgart, Ark.

This is just a quick post to remind readers that I will be in Vegas for Black Hat and DEFCON this week, and I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible. I will be giving a talk at both Black Hat and DEFCON:
- Wednesday, August 3rd, 3:15 PM – Black Hat USA 2011 – Track 7
- Friday, August 5th, 3:00 PM – DEFCON 19 – Track 2
My talk is entitled "Covert Post-Exploitation Forensics With Metasploit", and I'll be talking about a set of Metasploit Post-modules that I have developed for performing forensic analysis of machines over a meterpreter connection. With these modules, penetration testers (as well as other roles) will be able to run currently-available/popular forensic tools on remote drives in the same way that forensic examiners currently use them on local drives. Through some protocol trickery and using Railgun to pipe the Windows API over meterpreter, you can essentially make a local block device that maps to the victim's. I'll have some discussion, including a basic introduction to disk/file-system forensics for penetration testers, a demo, and some time for questions and discussion.
The presentation and tools will be available on the disc, as well as "latest" versions on here as soon as I can manage to put them on here after my talk. The modules ought to be available in the Metasploit SVN soon as well.
I'll also be actively attending/prowling around the conference, so feel free to track me down to talk shop about breaking things, forensics, etc. I have lots of fun stories that aren't appropriate for the blog/twitter.
I will also be bringing 20 of the challenge coins we normally hand out at the end of the Advanced Forensics class at the Mississippi State University National Forensics Training Center. If you want one, track me down at Black Hat or DEFCON and offer me something cool/interesting for one :
Double Secret Edit:
I also have fun 0-day for Tiny Tower on all IOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), which I will disclose to attendees for the price of one drink and a handshake Non-Disclosure Agreement (negotiable). You're not going to be hacking the Gibson with this one anytime soon, but it's *fun*.
2 Responses to "McGrew Security at Black Hat USA 2011 and DEFCON 19"
are you going to be posting a video of this talk?
Yes, there will be video of both talks eventually.

Craig Horton
Jul 30 2013
401 Mason St
San Francisco, CA 94102
On heels of his hit CD "In My Spirit," Craig Horton releases his second solo effort, "Touch of the Bluesman" on Bad Daddy Records. Think of it as blues with an attitude.
Craig's newest release is a natural progression of the heavy swingin', hard shufflin' classic blues sounds of Chicago and the South that was reflected in his first CD. In "Touch of the Bluesman," he carves out new territory with his deep, gutsy voice, unique delivery and soulful interpretations.
"Touch of the Bluesman" is a product of Craig's evolution as an artist – a style that only he can own. He doesn't emulate blues from the 40's, 50's and 60's. He helped to create the genre in a career that spans five decades.

In a sudden twist of fate aviation regulators round the globe have grounded the entire 50-strong global fleet of The Boeing Company's (BA - Analyst Report) 787 Dreamliner jet airliners. The global grounding comes in the wake of concerns over the safety of battery systems of the airliner.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner. In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes, the 787 provides airlines with superior fuel efficiency, resulting in exceptional environmental performance. The airplane as per Boeing uses 20% less fuel than similarly sized airplanes.
The pile of dominos started tumbling from Japan when on Wednesday a 787 Dreamliner of Japanese airline All Nippon Airways (ALNPY) made an emergency landing at Takamatsu airport in Japan. The Dreamliner was forced to land after an in-flight battery incident of smoke appearing in the plane's cockpit. The airline attributed the emission of smoke to a battery malfunction. This prompted the airliner to ground its fleet of 17 Dreamliners for inspection.
Separately another Japanese airline Japan Airlines also announced the suspension of the flights of its 7 Dreamliner's until further notice citing safety concerns after the battery system of a parked 787 caught fire at Boston's Logan International Airport.
The Japanese omen precipitated a global grounding of Dreamliners starting at home with a directive from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However FAA's directive towards U.S. carriers affected only United Continental Holdings, Inc. (UAL - Analyst Report). As of now United Continental is the only U.S. airliner with half a dozen Dreamliners in its fleet. Following FAA's directive aviation regulators in India and Japan followed suit. The Indian flag carrier Air India grounded its fleet of 6 Dreamliners. The trend continued elsewhere with Qatar Airways grounding 5, Chile's LAN Airlines S.A. (LFL - Snapshot Report) 3, Ethiopian Airlines 4, and LOT Polish Airlines 2.
The Dreamliner incubus did not end here, in what may well could be the inception, Qantas Airways Ltd. trimmed its Dreamliner order tally of 15 by 1. Boeing at 2012 end had a bulging Dreamliner order book of 848. We are apprehensive that the battery imbroglio would likely add to the tally of Dreamliner cancellations. Earlier for clearing the bulging order backlog Boeing rapidly increased its Dreamliner monthly production rate from 2.5 to 5 in 2012, with plans on the anvil to stretch it to 10 by late 2013.
Boeing's first delivery of the Dreamliner aircraft was more than three years behind the original schedule. The company completed the contractual delivery of the first 787 Dreamliner series aircraft to All Nippon Airways, in September 2011. The delays have forced Boeing to pay huge compensation to customers which added to the project's cost.
The question now arises with Dreamliner dreams turning sour, would Boeing be able to cope with its ambitious growth plan. Rising possibility of further U.S. defense cutbacks could impact the stream of orders and eventually slow down the growth of its defense business. As a result Boeing had pinned its hope on its commercial airplanes business for future growth.
The company in its 2012 Current Market Outlook estimates a $4.5 trillion market for 34,000 new commercial airplanes over the next 20 years. Boeing's projection of growth was based on the strength of the commercial aviation market, recovery witnessed in world economies and strong demand for fleet addition and replacement.
Of this the twin-aisle airplane segment was the highest valued segment of the long-term forecast, valued at $2.1 trillion over the next 20 years. Boeing foresees that over the next 20 years, the vast majority of twin-aisle airplanes currently flying will be retired. By 2031, new airplanes will account for 87% of the twin-aisle fleet. Boeing had relied on the 787 Dreamliner, in this prized segment, to take on arch rival Airbus's A350 series airplane.
Boeing along with experts from U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration and Japan Transport Safety Board has already started investigating the questionable Dreamliners batteries in Japan. The final outcome of the Dreamliner imbroglio will not affect Boeing alone but its long-list of suppliers also. Dreamliner suppliers include among others Hexcel Corporation (HXL - Snapshot Report), Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL - Analyst Report) and Precision Castparts Corporation (PCP - Analyst Report).
We currently retain a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) on Boeing. Considering the fundamentals, we are maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Redcloak's failed characterization, and what it means for the comic as a whole.

Re: Redcloak's failed characterization, and what it means for the comic as a whole.

The primary purpose of Redcloak's characterization is to specifically prove that this point is completely and utterly
. That D&D cannot and should not begin and end at black-and-white, and indeed already doesn't, if everyone would just learn to look at things a little more complexly.
Obviously, I still have work to do on that point.
Further, your definition of "what the comic is about" is also wrong. You seem to think it should be about me regurgitating an accurate portrayal of how the game should ideally be played. Nothing could be further from my mind. The comic is criticizing not how the game is
to be played, but how the game is
played and has been for 35+ years. And how it is
played 9 times out of 10 is that goblins are slaughtered because they are goblins, and the book says that goblins are Evil so it's OK. If you've never played in a game with people like that, then congratulations! You've had an exceptionally lucky D&D career, and that whole portion of the comic's subtext is Not For You. But there are plenty of people who maybe have never given it a second thought. Just because you've already learned some of the lessons of a work of fiction does not mean that there's no point to including them.
Now, if you want to rail on me because the first time Redcloak walked on screen, I didn't know everything I would later write in
Start of Darkness
, go right ahead. It would be a grossly unfair criticism being that it's common knowledge that I started this comic strip with no idea that it was going to last more than a dozen strips, but at least it would be an accurate one instead of one built entirely on one's own personal biases about the D&D game and how I'm not reading your mind so that I might live up to them.
Oh, and I will continue to veer back and forth from obeying D&D conventions to ignoring them when and as I see fit, so if that's going to bug you, you should probably stop reading now. Because I simply do not care about the level of consistency that you seem to find important.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Too many West Virginia residents who could be working are not, a retired West Virginia University economics professor said Thursday.
About 53.7 percent of West Virginians of working age are actually working, said Tom Witt, who taught business and economics at WVU.
"Those saying we have hard-working West Virginians have it wrong," Witt said. "Hardly working is more like it."
Witt's comments came at an education forum hosted by the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce at its annual Business Summit at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs.
If West Virginia had a work-force participation rate closer to the national rate, the state would have at least 50,000 more people in the labor market and a per capita income that ranked closer to 40th in the nation, instead of 48th, Witt said.
While education is the key to higher work participation rates, the state's education continues to lag behind other states, he said.
Over the past 20 years, West Virginia has increased the ratio of college graduates compared with those who have not earned a high school degree, Witt said. Other states, though, have increased their number of college graduates even more than West Virginia has, he said.
"So if we think we're running hard, other states are running much further ahead of us, and they're widening their lead over us," Witt said.
West Virginia also faces a challenge of "brain drain" -- educated workers leaving the state for better opportunities, Witt said. That means that companies lack qualified job candidates to hire and that's a disincentive to companies who might consider locating in the state, Witt said.
"That slows economic growth," Witt said.
