Does anyone has a keyboard working with the iPad, are you happy with the keyboard?
and looking around on craigs for model "A"keyboard as the new apple wireless bluetooth keyboard
is not yet fully compatible till os 5!
meaning brightness and volume hot keys dont work
so if you want full compatability now then get older model A and not B model keyboard
I have the official iPad keyboard dock for the office. I love it and could not live without it for 9-5 tasks (which tend to be text intensive).
At home I have no need for a dedicated keyboard for my iPad and don't miss it at all!
I have the Logitech Keyboard Case for Zagg. I use this ALL THE TIME for school. I also have the apple wireless keyboard but haven't used it since I got the Zagg.

A bunch of options.
() Apple Wireless Keyboard (already mentioned). Combine with the Origami Workstation or a new folio case from (sorry, cannot remember...do a search) that holds the AWK and the iPad.
() Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth Portable keyboard. Much cheaper than the AWK. A bit wider but still portable. One of the best portable keyboards around with great ergonomics. Available from Amazon and others.
() Logitech makes several models including a folding near full size keyboard. A little spendy but doubles as a back protector. They also make an Origami Workstation-like system that includes a good keyboard with an iPad stand. Less expensive than the OW+AWK combo.
() Gobs of combo iPad/keyboard cases from various vendors. Some identical. Some cheap. Some expensive. Best known is the Zaggmate case. Be careful if you're used to a full size keyboard. Because they combine a case fitted to the width of the iPad with a keyboard it means the keyboard is cramped. Might not bother you. I hate 'em.
() Less expensive folding keyboards that are very portable but may not be very durable. Again, do a search for the exact names.
I purchased the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for my iPad 2. Works great for those times intensive typing is needed. I also have a Dell PC with its own dedicated bluetooth keyboard (Microsoft Arc). Would love to know if there is a universal keyboard that would work with both the iPad and the Dell laptop so I dont have to carry multiple keyboards on business trips. Any ideas?

Take Challenges One Day at a Time
Take Challenges One Day at a Time
I strongly urge you to face your challenges one day at a time. Looking too far down the road only tends to overwhelm us. Trusting God requires that we believe He gives us our 'daily bread'; that is, we receive what we need as we need it and usually not before.
Sometimes challenges can seem impossible and overwhelming, but God is always with us. We just need to be courageous and receive the strength He gives us. Without thinking too far in advance, we can set our minds to quickly and efficiently do the task before us today.
This principle applies to many other areas of life, getting out of debt, cleaning and organizing your house, solving marriage problems, disciplining your children, being on time for work or completing a project. Whatever you need to do in life, you can do it.
Remember, Philippians 4:13 says you are ready for anything and equal to anything because God gives you strength. Nothing is too much for you when He is on your side.
Prayer Starter: God, even when the challenges before me seem impossible, I know that I can tackle them one day at a time because You are with me. I receive Your strength today.

Reference | EN 62467-1 |
Title | Medical electrical equipment - Dosimetric instruments as used in brachytherapy - Part 1: Instruments based on well-type ionization chambers |
Project Number | 21537 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 62467-1:2009 specifies the performance and some related constructional requirements of well-type ionization chambers and associated measurement apparatus, intended for the determination of a quantity, such as air kerma strength or reference air kerma rate in photon radiation fields or absorbed dose to water at a depth, in photon and beta radiation fields used in brachytherapy, after appropriate calibration for a given type of source. IEC 62467-1:2009 covers the techniques for the quantification of the quantity appropriate for the brachytherapy source under consideration. This quantity may be air kerma strength or reference air kerma rate at 1 m, or absorbed dose to water at a depth (e.g. 2 mm or 5 mm). Measurement of these quantities may be accomplished by a variety of well-type ionization chambers or systems currently available for this purpose. This standard applies to products intended for low dose rate, high dose rate, intravascular, both photon and beta, brachytherapy measurements. It does not apply to instruments for nuclear medicine applications. The application of the standard is limited to instruments that incorporate well-type ionization chambers as detectors. The intended use is the measurement of the output of radioactive, encapsulated sources for intracavitary (insertion into body cavities) or interstitial (insertion into body tissue) applications. The object of IEC 62467-1:2009 is a) to establish requirements for a satisfactory level of performance for well-type chamber systems, and b) to standardize the methods for the determination of compliance with this level of performance. IEC 62467-1:2009 is not concerned with the safety aspects of well-type chamber systems. The well-type chamber systems covered by this standard are not intended for use in patient environment. The electrical safety of well-type chamber systems is covered in IEC 61010-1. The operation of the electrometer measuring system is covered in IEC 60731. |

I count speaking with Samar one of those simple honors that I wouldn't have been privileged enough to experience if I hadn't taken a shot at applying for this job five years ago. It's the beauty of working in public radio.
My post on SOF Observed:
Revealing Ramadan: Samar Jarrah - "Fasting in a Place Like No Other"
» download [mp3, 4:28]
Trent Gilliss, online editorOne of the more difficult decisions of turning a group of 16 interviews into a limited-run podcast series within 24 hours was deciding who should be the voice to open the first day of Ramadan. Samar Jarrah eloquently captured a sentiment that we heard from many foreign-born Muslims who immigrated to the U.S. — that being a Muslim in America is to practice her faith, to fast, to pray, in a way like she would not have in Kuwait or Jordan or Egypt.
And, she expresses such joy and delight in discovering Islam anew. You can hear it in her tone. She's still excited, and it's been 20 years since she moved to the U.S. Hearing her story about rushing back from the Middle East to celebrate Ramadan in her adopted country makes me proud to be an American; but, she also makes me realize how tiring it must be to answer the same questions over and over again — about the veil, Islam as a violent faith, and so on.
We'll be releasing her complete interview and essay in the coming weeks. Until that time, please enjoy this charming woman and her Ramadan reflection.

It's beautiful! Whiteboard bunny from Ontario, Canada– Verified Buyer Service has been excellent from White boards and manufacturer! |
Very nice addition to conference room Brian from California– Verified Buyer Very well designed for professional environment. I love it. The back mount makes installation easy. However, there is no place to attach the bottom, so it tends to move a little when opening and closing the doors. Design and installation instuctions should include something to stabilize the bottom. [...] It would have done better if we had a loading dock. |

How to Reduce and Control Your PPC Campaign Costs
The guest tip is by Andrew Morris
Reducing your AdWords PPC campaign costs (as well as proper pay per click management) is crucial to ensuring you meet your conversion objectives. Cost control occurs at multiple levels in your campaign. There are a handful of manual adjustments that you can make to trim campaign costs. In addition, certain software tools—including bid management ones, in particular—can automatically control keyword costs. A search engine marketing company can really benefit from this concept.
It's important to first inspect costs at the campaign level. If you are displaying ads on both Google's search and content networks, ensure that you have one campaign targeting just search, and a duplicate one targeting just content. This will allow you to control budgets and modify ad group and keyword bids for each network independently. Also, for content campaigns, I strongly recommend using site and category exclusions to preserve your click dollars by preventing your ads from appearing on irrelevant sites or categories of web pages.
Next, analyze your brand and top-performing keywords and adjust those bids as necessary. Also, adding different query match types of existing keywords, especially ones that are costly or with high CPAs, allows you to set unique bids for each match type.
Check the Quality Scores of your keywords. Pause those terms with Quality Scores of four or less and having zero conversions. In addition to affecting a keyword's cost per click (CPC) and first page bid estimate, Quality Score will influence your ad ranking and the keyword's eligibility to enter the ad auction.
However, when you're working with not just hundreds but thousands or hundreds of thousands of keywords, you need some automation to help you control and manage the costs of all those long-tail terms. Here are several [mostly] bid management tools that can help you to accomplish this:
- Acquisio SEARCH. Included in the Acquisio SEARCH platform is a powerful, rules-based campaign and bid management module. Among other things, the tool shows you which keywords should be paused, emails you when keywords have poor Quality Scores, and allows you to set maximum CPCs aligned with a dynamic expression like first page bid estimate.
- Clickable. Clickable's ActEngine analyzes your campaign and automatically generates performance recommendations, namely, in the form of proposing bid increases on effective keywords, reducing bids of underperforming keywords, or notifying you of terms that have fallen below their first page estimates.
- DoubleClick DART Search. The automated bid management tool included in DART Search can bid on your keywords up to 12 times a day. It allows you to create a bid strategy by choosing two rules to be applied in a particular order. Bid rules include those based on position, ROI, etc.
- Omniture SearchCenter. Part of the Omniture Online Marketing Suite of applications, the SearchCenter automated bid engine offers the usual bid management tactics, including, rules-based and portfolio. Day-parting is another feature offered by SearchCenter, however, most modern PPC engines already provide this.
- Podium adCore. This bid management algorithm can adjust bids at the keyword- and ad group-levels, as well as help you test different ad creatives. There's also a keyword cleanup feature for removing terms with click-through rates below a certain percentage, or having CPAs above a predefined value.
Even with automation tools at your disposal, regularly scheduled, hands-on management of campaign costs remains a necessity. Trimming fat from your campaigns—in addition to doing things like adding negative keywords or testing new ad copy and landing pages—should be an integral part of your regular account maintenance. The above cost-reducing methods and automation tools should keep your PPC campaigns lean, and in line with your conversion goals.

Hi Andrew,
Nice tip. Prioritization and campaign organization is a key here as well.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 10:52 a.m. Friday, June 27, 2008
By Jamie Dupree
While Congress is out of town this week, President Bush will use the down time to hit two states today and raise some money for the campaigns of Republican candidates in November.
Mr. Bush's first stop is in Mississippi, where Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) is running to fill out the term of former Sen. Trent Lott, who resigned last year and became a lobbyist.
Wicker was a Congressman at the time, and was tapped by Gov. Haley Barbour (R) to replace Lott. Six months ago, you would have gotten few bets that Wicker would be in a tough election.
But times have changed.
Wicker's completely safe GOP seat in the Congress went to the Democrats in a special election earlier this year, as Travis Childers won a surprise victory and a seat in the U.S. House.
Mr. Bush will drop into the state capital in Jackson to headline a fundraiser for Wicker, who is being challenged by former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove.
Some polls have even shown Musgrove ahead in that race, something that would be an amazing upset for Democrats, who haven't held one of the two Senate seats from the Magnolia State since 1989, when Sen. John Stennis left after serving 41 years in the Senate.
Let's just say this: If Democrats are winning Senate seats in Mississippi, this is going to be a blowout year for them at all levels.
But there is a lot of time still left until November 4.
After his stop in Mississippi, Mr. Bush goes to Arkansas, where he will raise money for the GOP at a private home in Little Rock.
Tickets are reportedly $150 for the fundraiser, but you can get your picture taken with the President for a cool $5,000 according to the Associated Press.

Posted March 30, 2013
Purchased these for a inset drop front desk. Could not use them, they are not snug, or in other words there is too much play between the barrel and pin. Unless one uses really big clearances between the drop front and face frame, these won't work.

Posted April 28, 2011
I am restoring a early 1900's tredle sewing machine. These hinges are an exact match. Same brass color as original hardware. Received product from online really quick. I have used Rockler for years now, and never a complaint.
I could not find this hinge...
Posted January 17, 2011
I could not find this hinge locally, not even at a local "specialty" store. I ordered 2 pairs from Rockler and received it in the time frame promised...quickly. I am using them on an small office desk that I am converting into a sewing machine cabinet. I also bought the sewing machine lift mechanism from Rockler for the same cabinet, and it also works great.

Posted November 12, 2010
I am currently refinishing a vintage butler's table that I happened to find. 3 hinges on one side had been replaced with hinges that were the wrong size and shape. This made it impossible for that side to fold up the correct way. After searching in all of the local hardware stores and learning that this is a 'specialty' hinge that would have to be ordered! I did what I should have done first.... I ordered them from Rockler. They are absolutely perfect and they arrived very quickly. Will definitely order again from Rockler.
A hinge broke on our Kincaid...
Posted January 25, 2009
A hinge broke on our Kincaid Govenor's Oak (Dining Room) Server after ten years. Unfortunately, Kincaid does not service the part and was unable to provide me with direction to locate a new one.Within a few minutes of searching on the internet, I located Rockler, and found a perfect match, and ordered a spare set.The service was great, the delivery excellent.

Water Colours
Hi, this is Herb. I'd like to take you on a surf adventure as I see it through the eye of my camera. First stop California's classic Rincon. I put the camera in my water housing and paddled out with Dwayne DeSoto and Zack Howard. Taking off behind them as planned I was able to capture their surfing experience from a lot of unique angles as we played on the waves together.
This winter the surf was epic on the North Shore and I was lucky enough to be there with my camera. I caught Bonga, Joel, Dino, Kanoa and this years new rookies ripping Pipeline in all it's different moods. Sometimes I got so stoked I had to put away the camera and go out myself. It was great!!
With the swell coming up I called Devon Howard and arranged to meet him and some of the gang at Haliewa. Then I was on to Waimea to film Giant paddle in surf. It was an awesome sight.
With the rain coming down on the North Shore I called Russ K. and made plans to hook up at Makaha in a couple of Hours. He dazzled me with the Keaulana footwork. What a winter!
Back in California with a good south swell hitting Malibu I threw my gear in the car and hooked up with Dane Peterson, Jimmy Gamboa, Josh Farberow, Kassia Meador in the parking lot at the appointed time. we paddled out for perfect Malibu noseriding.
I want to thank all the guys for the great rides we had together.

TPCi FAIL I just noticed
, 13th March 2011 at 04:59 PM (644 Views)
Yeah. TPCi INTENTIONALLY chose a name that was "offensive" to their censors. Out of all the names they could have made up, they knowingly chose that one....As you pointed out, due to the censor that prevents Pokemon with offensive nicknames being traded on the Global Trade Station, an English language Cofagrigus cannot be traded without a nickname.
I'm going to be honest and say that I hate the localized names this gen and will probably continue to use Japanese names, and this is ultimate proof of that.

Hi there. I am the one who sold you that Jeep. I was just thinking I wish I would not have sold it and I see you said it was always breaking. What problems did you have with it? I remember replacing the engine and tranny. Then my enging went out in my F -150 and I was so pissed I got rid of the Jeep. Just curious what other problems it was having.

I repaired the frame and traded it in for a f150. |

Comments: Good stuff. Does what it says it will do.
Comments: I have used seachem marine buffer for years but this is the first time that I could buy it in a larger size.It is a better value buying it in bulk.
Comments: I've been in the hobby for 40 years and this is the only product I use to maintain PH.
Comments: This product works well. Would recommend.
Comments: Since I started using Seachem Marine Buffer (1year +) my PH level remains at 8.3 Daytime and at 8.2 nightime, when I was using other brands the PH dropped at 8.1 Nightime. So happy with it and my SPS as well, use it as directed or as needed and your corals will grow and thrive! IMO keeping Ph and Kh parameters constant and at the right level are more important than any other suplement, (180gls SPS tank). The website has the best deal for this product.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

Celebrity Babe Interviews
Celebrities Home / Entertainment Home
Co-star of "Hard Breakers"
Most of the roles I do, if I end up naked or whatever, it's usually something funny or it's a strong character or something. I tend to make it comedic if I can. So I've never done a serious sex scene. It's always been joking.
2010 Miss USA and "WWE Tough Enough" contestant
When I competed for Miss USA, 'Oh, you're Arabic? Oh, you're from Michigan? Michigan never makes it. Michigan's the fattest state. Oh, you're Muslim? Oh, you're not blonde and blue-eyed?' It's like, 'Watch, I'll show you!'
Co-star of "Scream 4"
I was such a fan of the "Scream" movies to begin with that when I found out they were making a fourth one…I mean, this is a movie I was going to see anyway… (Laughs) …so to be in it was just sort of icing on the cake!
Co-star of "Beneath the Dark" and "The Sopranos"
I never anticipated where I thought ('The Sopranos') was going to go, because I think I learned early on that I would always be wrong. It was just more fun to just experience it and be excited from script to script about what was going to happen.
Co-star of "Garden of Eden"
It's so much deeper than that surface level. It's so much deeper than, you know, a guy with two girls. That's not what it's about. It's about people and relationships, how we deal with one another, how we communicate.
Co-star of "9 to 5: Days in Porn"
I think I've just grown so much as an individual, and as a woman and as a business woman. So many things have changed. You know, I've been able to travel the world and meet so many different people, all by the age of 22.
Co-star of "Bitch Slap"
You just become so comfortable with sexuality, especially with "Bitch Slap." I mean, really, at very twist and turn of the movie, you are realizing how funny sexuality can be and how funny it is.
Co-star of "Miss March"
I don't think I have the nerve to (pose nude), to be honest. I would be nuts during the day I had to take all my clothes off and stuff.
"Iron Man 2" and former "Deal or No Deal" model
(Robert Downey, Jr.) was very funny and very focused on work, but at the same time he cracks jokes and has a very fun time while he's working.
"Deal or No Deal" model
I'm a very passionate person. When I love, I really love, and when I fight, I really fight!

"I actually preferred the bigger production, less expensive 2010 Zinfandel Heritage Vines (40,700 cases), which was made from a blend of 93% Zinfandel and 7% Petite Sirah, largely from the Russian River and Lodi areas, that achieved nearly 15% natural alcohol. It possesses a dark ruby/plum color as well as notes of roasted herbs, underbrush, ground pepper, meaty, briery, black cherry and black currant fruit, and abundant spice. This offering borders on being too rustic and earthy, but excellent ripeness, structure, texture and richness are all present." 91 Points The Wine Advocate

Born in New Jersey in 1974, actor Derek Luke got his big break when cast by Denzel Washington to play the title role in the 2002 film Antwone Fisher. Luke went on to a successful movie career, including roles in Friday Night Lights (2004) and Notorious (2009).
Early Life
Actor Derek Luke was born on April 24, 1974, in Jersey City, New Jersey. His father, Maurice Luke, is a native of Guyana who had previously worked as an actor in London, and his mother, Marjorie Dixon, is a pianist. Luke's parents divorced when he was only in the third grade, and Luke, along with his two brothers, were raised primarily by their mother. However, Dixon struggled to make ends meet on her musician's salary, and the family moved frequently among Jersey City's rough and impoverished neighborhoods.
Growing up in a largely hardscrabble environment, Luke was forced to learn to fight and act tough at a very young age. "I grew up and went to school with metal detectors," he explains. Still, he had strong role models in his mother and uncles, who inspired him to transcend his environment. "I think what influenced my life was the power of words," he says. "My mother always, my uncles always spoke powerful words. I think, even though I grew up in the hood, I always tell people I really grew up in a rich home, because I had good words."
Luke attended six different schools before finally settling at Henry Snyder High School, a performing arts school in Jersey City. He graduated from Snyder in 1992 and continued on to Jersey State College to study acting. However, he soon grew impatient and wanted to try his hand at a professional career in show business. In 1995 he packed his bags and moved across the country to Los Angeles with hopes of making it big in Hollywood.
Early Acting Career
Like many actors, Luke initially struggled to break into the acting world, resorting to a variety of odd jobs such as selling cologne, ushering and working in a Sony Pictures gift shop to pay the rent. Determined to make his own luck, Luke took acting classes at night and stuck to a relentless auditioning schedule. He recalls, "I auditioned for The Rookie, Finding Forrester, Touched by an Angel, and they didn't touch me, E.R. because my resume really needed surgery. Those are the [main ones] but…I think I was on an audition four times a week."
Breakthrough Acting Role
Luke had only two acting credits to his name -- bit parts in The King of Queens and Moesha -- when he managed to land the title role in the acclaimed 2002 film Antwone Fisher, an autobiographical film written by the real-life Antwone Fisher and directed by Denzel Washington. After four separate auditions, Washington personally informed Luke that he had landed the role in a scene that itself could have been lifted straight from a bad movie. By a miraculous coincidence, when Washington showed up at the gift shop where Luke worked to inform him he'd gotten the part, the real Antwone Fisher happened be at the store buying a t-shirt from Luke.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The West Virginia School Board Association is encouraging Kanawha County education leaders to use results of a recent self-assessment to focus on problematic areas and to inspire more goals.
Every county school board in the state is required by law to participate in the annual self-evaluation, which studies 15 indicators such as leadership, influencing others and board development.
While Kanawha County school board members did not assess themselves as "not very effective" in any category, they ranked themselves slightly lower than other counties in all but one category: policy development.
Kanawha's lowest rankings, when compared to averages across other counties, were in the categories "communications" and "parents and community involvement."
The county ranked itself highest for its decision-making.
"It appears that our peers evaluated themselves slightly higher in nearly every other category. So either we're too critical or we have some work to do," said board member Robin Rector.
But, West Virginia School Board Association Executive Director Howard O'Cull said it's important to focus less on the comparison to other counties and more on the specific answers to the survey's questions.
"Because it is a self-assessment, there are limitations and a lot is left up for interpretation. The best thing to do is focus on those broad areas you have scored the lowest on and work within that," O'Cull told members of the school board during a special session Monday. "Whether this will be of any good and come to great fruition depends on your board and how you choose to use the information. It's a tool that you can really use for some good work."
O'Cull said with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's statewide public education audit, and with more school systems taken over by the state than anywhere else in the country, assessments like this one are crucial.

I'm curious to here what others think about this. I know race directors really discourage the practice. In my opinion though if you can't run the race for whatever reason (unexpected emergency, injury, etc) and it is sold out why let the entry go to waste.
In theory I don't see any problem with this. In practice, it messes up the statistics. If I understand correctly, the runner's details can't be transferred - so if a 25-year-old guy buys a bib from a 40-year-old woman, his result is being attributed to her. Or has that issue been addressed?
IF the race allows it then I see no problem in it.
IF the race says no transfers then it is technically banditing a race and if caught the runner and the person selling / lending the bib face being banned from the race in the future.
But that will not stop many from doing it. The simple solution and it would not involve much work on the part of the race direction team is to allow bib transfers for a small fee.
On a quest for Iridium level
There are a number of liability issues since the runner buying the bib has not signed the race waiver. With name and related info not being updated, if there is a medical problem and the runner is not conscious, the medical staff has no way to search for it or know who to contact. Messing with the results is a real possibility and several people have posted on RW and RA about instances they've seen including one where a teenage boy took home the win for one of the adult women's AGs. That the RD even allowed that when it was obvious what had happened amazes me even more.
So I am against the practice except when done formally through the race's procedures when allowed.
An "epic" journey: From Miler to Ultra Marathoner Blogs
Basically, races that don't allow it price the race based on the number of people who will show up based on past stats. If transfers were allowed, they would budget for more runners, more security, more first aid, etc.
So, if a person sells their bib, they are participating in banditing. You bought the risk of not being able to run for the guarantee that you could run if you wanted to. If you don't want that risk, either sign up late (and likely pay more) or only race races that allow bib transfers.
I'm seeing that thru Active.com you can now buy insurance for not being able to run. If you have that option and don't take it, I don't see the point in complaining later.
I think it is too much "business ethics" not to allow transfers unless a race sells out. If it's trouble to make a transfer, charge for it, but don't be greedy or risk seeming unkind to the community you allegedly serve.
+1. And as far as I am concerned the people who are going to the trouble of setting up a race have the right to decide whether or not to allow substitutions, and to set reasonable rules for how to accomplish it.
I'm glad you asked this question.
I've really liked seeing the different responses and reasons.
I normally would agree with selling a bib, however after what specifically wcrunner said and some others, I agree, the liability makes it a problem.
I believe in the freedom to do what you want, however there is personal responsibility. If you buy a bib and end up having a medical problem and don't get all that medical information changed ahead of time... your problem.
However I also believe that a race organization has the right to ban selling bibs.
If it's allowed, go ahead, I just think you need to know the consequences ahead of time.
As for the waiver... does it really matter? To be honest even with a signed waiver, people can sue for whatever, justified or not. So did signing it really change anything? Unfortunately in this world I don't think it does. Just like a prenup cannot go against any of the states divorce laws. It's a pointless document.
I notice a lot of people are pointing out that it may mess with race stats and placing. Here's my opinion.
The only race that I've worn someone else's bib was during a novelty fun run without any timing. My friend had signed up months before, it got sold out before I could register, and then the day of she had a work conflict and couldn't run. If it was a timed race, I wouldn't have taken her bib (not that I'm winning any age group awards or anything!).
I agree with George and Bob. It's up to the discretion of the each race to determine their policy. It's generally not a good idea, unless it's within the guidelines set up by the race.
1st road race: Charleston Distance Run 15 Miler - 1974. - Voice
+1 Agree!
2014 Goal: The legendary "Race Across The Sky"
What if they don't wear the timing chip (assuming that it is not attached to the bib). Still opposed?
I assist with a small (~2000 runner), local 5K. We are staffed entirely with volunteer's, most of whom are working their first or second race. If we get a request to reassign a bib 3 or more days before the race, we are happy to do so and do it for free. We are, after all, volunteers and there's really no financial impact.
As it gets closer to race day, however, we are less able to handle the request. We usually have only a few experienced people who can make all the necessary changes, and they are much more involved making sure the other 1999 runners have a fun, safe race. Unless you have been involved managing a local race, you can have no idea of how much effort it is to put on a race, and that's when everything runs smoothly.
I can't speak for the big, professional races, but on the local scale I'm sure every race director wants to do all he can for every runner, but sometimes late requests just can't be accomplished.
There are reasons waivers or prenups may not be enforced, but they often are enforced. Just FYI.
If the transfer/selling bibs was allowed, I can see some races becoming like sporting event tickets. Ravens play off tickets sold out in minutes, of course then lots of those tickets got listed for sale elsewhere for many times face value.
I also find that some races here "sell out", but then you can still register IF you sign up through a charity partner and raise the money. So they definitely don't to allow bib transfers, it would hurt the charities.
Good point. I can't imagine how much bibs to NYCM, Chicago, London, etc would sell for if you could sell bibs legitimately.
I wouldn't have a problem with that - but I doubt that a person who goes to the trouble of buying a bib number to get into a certain race would be willing to run without being timed.
Come to think of it, with online registration in place for so many races, why should transferring a bib number be such a big deal? Organizers could charge a small fee, and the new runner would just enter his or her details, so none of the race stats would be affected.
A person who wants to run gets to run, and a person who can't run doesn't have to eat the (sometimes substantial) registration fee if an unexpected event keeps them from attending.
If it was through the race organizer's website, I can see how this may be simplified. If it is allowed outside, I can see it just getting crazy for large, sell out races. I would guess people would figure out ways to register many times (under different names or something) solely to resell the bib for a profit.
I do think there is also a charity team/partner aspect involved in not allowing transfers for sold out events. I went on the Chicago Marathon website. You can register through July 15 IF you do so with a charity. I know the charities have to get a certain number of people to sign up, not sure if that gives them a special rate or if it is just an agreement that is signed. I wonder how many spots are held for the charities?
I'm sure that if you add in the element of expecting the RD to organize bib transfers through its website, it would just be another fee passed on to the runners.
As for charities, I'm involved with one that has a team for a HM that rarely sells out. It does not get a better deal on the race entries. I believe it has guaranteed entries. The charity gets sponsors to cover the cost of the entries for the organization, so it is not absorbing that.
I see the main problem in the scalping of the bibs at profit. This could be easily handled though through a buy back, Suppose you enter a race for $100 and at any time up to say noon before race day, maybe even later, you for what ever reason decide not to run. You log in and take the buy back option. The next person on the list is offered your bib via text/email and they can take it or leave it within a certain time period or they get dropped from the list. If someone takes it they pay the $100 and $90 goes back to you. To get on the wait list you have to have your application already entered including waiver and your cc info on file. You can also put in an auto-accept date say 10 days before. So if you come up on the list 12 days before you're charged and entered automatically but within 10 days you're asked. Also, being on the waitlist you risk getting a wrong sized shirt. All of this would be handled by the computer system so no extra work for volunteers or the RD.
I don't suppose you tried to register for Chicago or MCM this year? Computer systems are far from flawless
This sounds reasonable and yes there may be computer glitches as RobinCD points out but that is always a risk with online registration. Also good point wcrunner with regards to liability. I hadn't thought of that.
This idea makes a lot of sense.
Chicago and MCM was more than a glitch. It was a complete computer system failure, essentially. Active doesn't have the server power of, say, Ticketmaster. If we, as runners, want more services, we will pay for them. I think ticketmaster fees can be 20-40% of ticket fees.
