Pentax K-50: Lab Test & Comments
The K-50 offers a large LCD screen on the back (3 inches, 921.000 RGB dots) that can't be swivelled. The screen shows a clearly structured and easy to handle setup menu and allows for fast setup of all parameters. The camera offers all standard exposure modes like P, Tv, Av and M. In addition, it offers an automatic mode which changes the ISO speed setting for a given aperture andshutter speed plus 8 scene programs in auto scene mode and 11 user-selectable scene programs. These additional modes include "night scene HDR" effects, "sunset" and "stage lighting" settings.
The camera offers extremely high ISO speed settings (ISO 51,200 in photo mode; ISO 3200 in video mode), but images taken in the highest ISO speed settings show a visible noise structure and loss of image details/sharpness.
The camera has two setup dials, one located near the shutter release button, the second on the back, which is operated by the thumb of the right hand. This combination allows the user to change both exposure parameters simultaneously and helpswhen navigating through the setup menu. An additional 4-way control field helps navigation and gives access to important image parameters like ISO speed, white balance, flash mode and shutter mode (single shot, burst mode, selftimer).
The camera is very fast: it delivers shutter speeds up to 1/6000 s and is able to record up to 6 frames per second in burst mode (continuously in JPEG mode, up to 12 frames in Raw mode). The camera also allows for interval shooting (from 1 sec to 24 hours interval time and up to 999 frames) to create time lapse effects, for example. The camera is able to record full HD videos and offers numerous manual settings for video recording.
Comments on Image Quality
Color: The Pentax K-50 uses the "bright" image style settings as default (standard mode if you use the reset function in the menu.) This mode creates extremely saturated colors and therefore showed some problems in our color tests. The saturation of the test chart is boosted to 118.5 percent and some colors are extremely affected and therefore shifted into another color area. This causes a high level of color errors and is also visible in very exaggerated colors in our portrait shot and other test shots. As in all our tests we used the standard color mode of the camera for our test results. Some comparison shots in "natural" setting (2nd setting in the color mode menu) showed a totally different behavior. The saturation dropped down to 101 percent and the overall color errors dropped also to a very low level.
Sharpness: The resolution results are excellent. The Pentax K-50 reproduced the ISO 12233 chart with 3076 lines in picture height which is nearly the nominal sensor resolution of 3264 lines. The overshot and undershot effects are visible because the camera uses an intense sharpness filtering on contrast lines, but they are still on an acceptable level for an APS-C-SLR. The portrait shot and the testbox shot show these "enhanced sharpness effects" in details like the structure of the hair or the metal sieve in the upper left of the box shot.
Noise: The camera showed a good performance in our noise tests. The luminance noise starts on a high level (0.71 percent in ISO 100 mode) but nearly stays on this level up to ISO 3200. The color noise is low and only becomes visible in images taken at ISO 6400 and higher. But the two highest ISO speed settings show clearly visible noise and anti-noise-filtering artifacts. The results of the filtering are acceptable up to ISO 12,800, but at ISO 25,600 and ISO 51,200 we noticed extreme artifacts and drastically decreased reproduction of image details. At ISO 51,200 the luminance noise factor is extreme.
The dynamic range results are good, but on a little lower level than the results of most other SLR systems with an APS-C sized sensor. The Pentax reproduced the Stouffer 4110 chart with a maximum of 10.5 f-stops and keeps the 10-f-stop level up to ISO 1600, which is a good result. Dynamic range drops drastically in the highest ISO settings (3.99 f-stops at ISO 51,200).
+ Compact SLR system with sealed body
+ Professional handling; however, a battery grip with additional shutter release button for portrait shots and an X-sync jack for a studio flash system are missing
- Missing swivel monitor
- Missing WLAN features (Eye-Fi cards are supported)

"It was like being strapped to a rocket ship," said Douglas Drachman, MD, FSCAI, ELM Fellow from Massachusetts General Hospital.
"I didn't know what to expect, but now I can tell you the program has far exceeded any expectations," said Jennifer Tremmel, MD, FSCAI, ELM Fellow from Stanford.
"I'm certain I would not be where I am today without the ELM Program," said Allen Jeremias, MD, FSCAI, ELM Fellow from Stony Brook Medical Center in New York.
SCAI has announced the selection of 12 early-career interventional cardiologists to participate in the Emerging Leader Mentorship (ELM) Program, a collaborative program developed by SCAI in partnership with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). These physicians will participate in an intense, two-year mentorship program to improve and refine their skills as leaders in medicine, ambassadors for their specialty and advocates for their patients.
The SCAI Emerging Leader Mentorship (ELM) Program in formal partnership with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) is charged with finding a small, highly selective group of up-and-coming physicians (up to 10 per two-year cycle) and facilitating their transition into the next generation of great thinkers, presenters, teachers and national leaders. ELM Fellows participate in six training sessions over a two year period, timed with the SCAI, TCT and ACC annual conferences, and will be assigned a Mentor specifically chosen to match their interests and aspirations. Satellite sessions will explore other topics, such as dedicated leadership skill training and the role of industry. They will also be encouraged to, and assisted in, identifying opportunities for committee service and faculty assignment with committee/program chairs at SCAI and partnering organizations. Identifying those opportunities congruent with their interests and developing niches, as well as opportunities to develop their own ideas and projects, will be a core goal of the ELM Program. Their progress over the two-year period will be tracked actively by the Program Committee to assure autonomous future success.
A critically important component of the ELM program, is that it also provides career advancement opportunities for applicants who aren't selected for the 10 fellowships. After the selection program is complete, the Program Committee will make personal calls to applicants who did not win a spot in the program, taking the time to understand their goals, aspirations, and talents, and then finding ways to channel their energy into SCAI and partnering organizations. Many of SCAI's brightest young leaders are ELM fellowship runner-ups! However, you can't get involved if you don't apply!
The application process for the 2013-2015 Emerging Leader Mentorship (ELM) Program is closed.

Mixing It Up
A few weeks ago, I was walking out the front door of our Cleveland office building for lunch. Parked in front of the building were two large concrete mixer trucks awaiting their delivery assignment to a local construction site.
I made a mental note to discuss the hydraulic systems of concrete mixers with Alan Hitchcox, Editor of Hydraulics & Pneumatics, when I got back to the office. Alan often educates me on the marvels of hydraulics much like he educates our 50,000 qualified readers every month. I forgot to ask.
However, in the November issue of H&P, Alan produced an excellent review of the hydraulic system of a particularly interesting concrete mixer. I should have known that any hydraulic questions that I might have would eventually be answered in the pages of Hydraulics & Pneumatics.
That is what makes my job as publisher of the magazine fun. Whether it is concrete mixers, tree mulchers, amusement rides, or packaging machinery, I know that our editors and our advertisers have solutions to all of the needs in industry for moving loads accurately.
I look forward to learning even more in December. Thanks Alan.

When Girls Aren't Desired in India
by Shubha Bala, associate producer
For every 100 girls that are born in India, there are 108.4 baby boys. Whereas, as stated in this World Health Organization bulletin, the "natural sex ratio quotient [is] 0.512 (i.e. a total of 105 boys born for every 100 girls born)." In a country of over a billion people, these missing three girls for every 100 boys quickly adds up.
In India, the systematic aborting of female fetuses is a particularly complex topic. According to the United Nations Population Fund (pdf), there are many states in India that don't face this issue. They have an average ratio of baby girls to boys. Other regions, notably western India, have as few as 77 girls born for every 100 baby boys.
Societal and family pressures play a significant role in the desire to only have boys in India — things like more financial incentives, increased opportunity for gainful employment, and access to better education. For example, in the state of Punjab, particularly known for its low ratio of girls to boys, women who are more educated are in fact more likely to abort female fetuses.
The following MediaStorm video paints a narrative picture of the plight of women in India, including the modern phenomenon of sex-selective abortions. Despite the complexity, this video echoes Nicholas Kristof's reminder that we globally need to focus on improving the rights of women.

the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" at
Heidelberg University welcomes applications for its Summer School 2011 from
graduate students in humanities and social sciences with an interest in
transcultural studies. It will take place from July 24 to 29 in Heidelberg,
This year's Summer School "Cultures of Consumption in Asia and Europe" will
explore the meaning and significance of consumption in the past and present
as a crucial link between Europe and Asia. Although "consumer society" has
become a prominent term for the description of the ways of life connected
with a globalized modernity, the particular mode of experience and of
interaction with things to which it points is neither exclusively modern nor
exclusively occidental. Referring to the recent innovative insights from
cultural and economic history, social sciences and anthropology, together
with the expertise of foremost scholars working on both European and Asian
themes, the aim of the programme is to gain a truly transcultural grasp of
respective cultures of consumption.
The programme is designed to provide stimulating opportunity to get new
inspiration for graduate work, exchange ideas on the topics of one's
research and actively engage with an international group of peers as well as
renowned scholars. The confirmed speakers include Joanna Elfving-Hwang
(Frankfurt), Sheldon Garon (Princeton), Manpreet Janeja (Cambridge), Robert
Hellyer (Wake Forest), Angus Lockyer (SOAS London), Seoungsook Moon (Vassar
College), Francoise Sabban (EHESS Paris), and from the University of
Heidelberg Rudolf G. Wagner, Christiane Brosius, Harald Fuess, Katja
Patzel-Mattern, David Mervart and Mio Wakita.
In addition to the academic programme, a range of excursions and leisure
activities in and around the city of Heidelberg is on offer, including a
guided city tour, visit of the German Packaging Museum and a beer tasting
Prospective participants should send their application together with a
letter of motivation by May 31, 2011 to the address

A phalanx of law enforcement officials Wednesday touted their latest drug-trafficking case, against 16 suspects they said were "terrorizing" Miami-Dade's minority neighborhoods.
U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer, flanked by top federal agents and Miami's police chief, said the crackdown was the fruit of a year-old partnership between law enforcement and community leaders to help rid neighborhoods of violent criminals.
"The violent criminals terrorizing these neighborhoods better watch out," Ferrer said during a news conference at the U.S. attorney's office.
"Sooner or later we are going to clean up your neighborhoods and get rid of the drug traffickers," Miami Police Chief Manuel Orosa promised.
The partnership was launched in October 2011 to focus on drug dealing, gun violence and other major crimes in Miami's Overtown and Liberty City areas. Miami Gardens was also added to the list of troubled communities.
Ferrer said he has assigned a prosecutor to each of the communities. Each one works with both criminal investigators and community leaders to target pockets plagued by career criminals.
The latest indictment, brought by federal prosecutor Roy Altman, took aim at a network that allegedly distributed heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana. The organization was headed by Chuck Wayne Boyd, 36, of Miami Gardens, authorities said.
Timothy Donovan, assistant special agent in charge of the Miami FBI, said the investigation started two years ago as a result of territorial gang wars and shootings in the Overtown and Liberty City areas.
He said the takedown by 100 law enforcement officers and agents began at dawn Wednesday, leading to the arrest of 13 of the 16 defendants. He said three of the defendants were still at large.
Donovan said the investigation, dubbed "Operation Meltdown," struck a "serious blow" to Boyd's alleged distribution network.
Ferrer, the U.S. attorney, said his goal is to build better bridges with community leaders to prevent the criminals from taking over their neighborhoods.
"Every neighborhood has different problems," he said. "It is really us learning from them and building a trusting relationship."

Steepster's Ultimate Holiday Tea Contest!
I'd definitely make me some of the Nepal by Damn Fine Tea. I missed out on getting to order that, so I'd have to try it. Then I'd make some Iron Goddess of Mercy.
jade oolong, without a doubt! warms my heart during these cold days
mm, and i recently bought some gorgeous, fragrant jasmine blooms.. i wonder how they will look, opening, unraveling in a widescreen/landscape view sorapot!
so excited, crossing fingers (:
While the jade oolong would be tempting, I would start out with the matcha if I won. It's one of the few varieties of tea I haven't tried and I've long been looking forward to it.
I would definitely go with the matcha first, as that is one of the few teas I haven't tried yet. I would follow that up with just about anything in the Sorapot, the coolest tea pot I have ever seen!
I'd probably start out with the White Peony tea, since it's one of my personal favorites, but that matcha would definitely be next on my list! /has always wanted to try her hand at making it, instead of making someone else do so.

Well, I just finished reading the Bible and nowhere did I see a mention of the Boy Scouts or rock singers by the men who wrote the Bible. Any other strange suggestions?
If the coal mine industry ever told the governor and the Legislature to kiss their rear, that "boom" you would hear would be their knees hitting the floor at the Capitol.
In regard to Mr. Fisher's commentary on the proposed bike path along Kanawha Boulevard, as a avid cyclist, I agree it isn't money well spent to construct a mile-long bike path. Take the money and pave the entire length of Chesterfield Avenue in Kanawha City where cyclists ride, take a street sweeper and clean the emergency stopping lanes on both sides of MacCorkle Avenue from Marmet to Spring Hill where cyclists ride, and use the remaining funds for community education so there is mutual respect between cyclists and motor vehicle drivers.
Hopefully Delegate Skaff and company, in their effort to enact a West Virginia law that "nullifies" any national gun laws, know that they are only grandstanding to the faithful as unabashed panderers with full awareness that they are tethered by the U.S. Constitutional leash. Or we should pray for deliverance from politicians such as these.
Going to go out on a limb and guess that neither Tim Miley, Justin Marcum or any of the delegates live near a mine where they have to worry about their water being poisoned. This is the same bunch who think the mentally ill should be able to buy a gun whenever they want.
West Virginia workers' compensation law used to be, at least, an agreement between employer and employee that, as long as the employer covered all expenses associated with a workplace injury/accident, the employee would forfeit the right to sue. All of a sudden, I'm seeing all these lawyer ads on TV for workplace accident victims to sue employers. Did the law change because workers' comp insurance went private?
Those anti-gun radicals give real Democrats a bad name.
Our local buy swap and sell paper lists at least 10 guns for private sale including an AR15. Looks like anyone could buy these without a background check. Convicted felons need not worry in West Virginia.

Dr. Ganesha B. Perera, MD, FACS, MPH
Dr. Ganesha B. Perera trained in one of the most respected Vascular Surgery programs in the country. He performs open and minimally invasive treatments for diseases of the arteries and veins.
A major focus of Dr. Perera's work is minimally invasive blood vessel surgery below the knee. The majority of amputations take place because these critical vessels are blocked. Diabetics and patients with chronic kidney disease are especially affected in this challenging patient population. Dr. Perera works in conjunction with the McLeod Outpatient Wound Care to establish better blood flow to chronic wounds that otherwise might not heal. A major focus of Dr. Perera's work is thus limb preservation and limb salvage using minimally invasive approaches.
"I was drawn to McLeod as a medical facility because of its focus on quality of patient care and future goals. Treating patients in the early stages of vascular disease is essential for successful outcomes and a better quality of life."
"Diabetics especially need to be attuned to the risk factors of vascular disease," said Dr. Perera. "Being diabetic puts them at an increased risk for limb loss among other complications."
Dr. Perera is married with three children. His wife is from Williamsburg County.
- Angioplasty/Stenting/Atherectomy ("roto-rooter") for PAD
- Carotid surgery and stents for stroke prevention
- Open and minimally invasive aneurysm repair in the chest and abdomen
- Complex vascular reconstructions/surgical bypass
- Minimally invasive stenting of kidney and intestinal vessels
- Minimally invasive techniques for hard to heal diabetic wounds
- Hemodialysis access creation and maintenance
- Varicose veins and blood clots (DVT)

Best Uses
cut out ancient door buck on garage to install new prehung entry door.The metal cutting blade made short work of the 16d nails fastening the door buck.
Best Uses
I am well and truly pleased with this selection. I had an old 32 ft treated lumber bridge that I wanted to somewhat salvage and the 30 year old carriage bolts were rusted tight. I used the Torch blade to lop off the bolts and zing through some nails and deck screws. The Axe blade also made short work of damaged planks, some small overhanging branches I cleared and some stove wood just to see how it did with year old 6" logs. I also sliced up some old scaffolding that had been rusting away in my woodlot with the Torch blade. Again - great performance.
Best Uses
I have used them before and got these for gifts for my sons along with the hacksaw.
Best Uses
Nice assortment of blades for various uses.
Best Uses
bought these for a 12 Amp Milwaukee 6520-81 Sawzall. Have used only on plastic pipe so far, but the 4" Torch is strong enough to withstand an end-jam and not yield. I was surprised by the thickness of these blades.

Impacted by the ongoing effect of a challenging economic environment — as evidenced by lower sales volume and declining store traffic during the first half of the year — high-end specialty retailer Good Guys reported a dramatically widening net loss in its fiscal second quarter. The chain reported a $6.9 million loss for the period, compared with a loss of $1.8 million in the same three months a year ago.
At the same time, Good Guys and retailer CompUSA reached an agreement, whereby CompUSA would acquire the 71-store CE chain for about $55 million in cash. (See story on p. 1.)
In its second quarter, as reported, Good Guys recorded declining sales of $152.2 million, down about 15 percent from the $177.5 million reported in the year-ago period. Comp-store sales dropped 13 percent.
Gross profit margin in the second quarter declined to 26.8 percent, from 28.6 percent in the same three months in 2002.
Commenting on Good Guys lowered numbers, chairman/CEO Ken Weller said, "Despite these challenges, Good Guys has taken decisive actions to prepare for the holiday selling season. We believe our performance in the second half of the year will reflect the results of the company-wide efforts to bring more qualified customers to our stores, differentiate the customer experience and better align our sales, marketing and merchandising functions."
For the six months, Good Guys reported a net loss of $15.3 million, compared with a loss of $6.4 million in the year-ago period.
Sales for the six months hit $295.5 million, down about 15 percent from the $348.5 million recorded in the first half of the previous fiscal year. Comp-store sales for the six months slid 13 percent.
Gross profit margin for the first half reached 27.2 percent, 150 basis points below the 28.7 percent recorded in the first six months of last year. However, Good Guys did reduce expenses for the six months by more than $10 million, a decline of nearly 11 percent over the same period a year ago.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

BACK TO EDEN Frontiers / Now & Then Produced by: Terry Brock Released: June 28 / Website Relatives: Strangeways, The Sign GENRE: AOR |
Terry Brock is one of rock's great survivors. It's hard to believe that this is his first solo album, but thankfully it's here and won't be his last. As I said in the album's liner notes (thanks for the opportunity Terry & Frontiers), he has made a career making others look good, singing backing vocals, and fronting a couple of great bands in Strangeways and The Sign. Now he gets to look good for his own project and sound good he does. I am a big fan of Terry and of course, on some occasions it is hard to be objective! But giving this album a great review has been too easy. This is an essential purchase for any fans of this genre - pure ballad driven melodic rock. This is one of those albums I hear and know instantly why I love this style of music. Helping out on Back To Eden is a bunch of Terry's mates - Jim Peterik, Joe Lynn Turner, Randy Jackson, Mark Mangold and Billy Greer. The band for this project comprises of Teddy Cook (guitars, bass), Andy Bigan (drums), Frank Fogerty (keys) and guitarist Lee Day. This is pure AOR in it's best form - a mixture of ballads and moody hook driven soft rock. The style is very much a softer example of the sound of The Sign, mixed into a blend of Strangeways, Journey and something new. | |||
Audio Life Dream is a very cool way to intro an album. A synthesized voice trails through the background while we hear the briefest of song samples from past albums Terry has been involved in. See if you can pick them all. It then launches itself into the opening track I Wanna Love Someone. Another interesting way to open an album, as the track is not the typical uptempo anthem many choose to start with. rather it's a heartfelt mid-tempo AOR track that uses the strength of Terry's voice to carry it. Up All Night offers another great change of pace after two pure AOR numbers. This is a catchy as hell track featuring Terry's band mates from The Sign. And typical of the style of their album Signs Of Life, this slightly progressive anthem rocker could easily have been lifted from that album. The song finishes with a fantastic and original dialogue from Yankees baseballer Michael Kay, who basically uses his time to rub Terry's nose in the fact the Yankees keep winning and Terry's beloved Atlanta Braves keep losing. Hilarious! Native Sons picks up the tempo again into rocker mode, with a big melodic number written in tribute to his days as vocalist with Strangeways. That's right, it isn't an old tune, but a new one written as homage to his old band. Once again Terry's voice is at full tilt. Waiting is a wonderfully warm an inviting mid tempo moody pop ballad. The warmth in Terry's voice and the subtle chorus make this one of the most memorable AOR masterpieces in recent times. I Should've Known is the first proper power ballad of the album. Complete with soft piano intro and a soulful power vocal, this song builds from a solid base to a big, rousing and emotion filled chorus that will have even the hardest hearts singing along. Basically it's a bloody great ballad for all fans of pure AOR. Back To Eden picks up the pace a little. The title track is more in the vein of the classic Strangeways material, soft lead guitars underneath a booming lead vocal. The chorus is memorable and singable, making sure this track is a highlight. Forever Now keeps the pace flying along with another uptempo track. This time it's a little less guitar dominated and more vocal driven, with a great lead providing most of the songs hooks and melodies. Only great singers can pull this off. Your Man Again slows the pace down again a little. This is one of my favourite tracks on the album. What we have here is a real sultry and emotional pop ballad. There are other ballads on the album, but all in varying styles. This one has power, raw emotion and real feeling, but all in a subtle way. It's not an over the top power ballad by any means. Light Of The Moon is a really cool track. Driven by a hard-edged guitar riff and very slow and moody for the verse, the song bursts into a power ballad styled anthem chorus with a really smooth yet powerful vocal. A very cool track. Another Chance is anther fabulous mid-tempo rock ballad with all the emotion and power of any Steve Perry track. This man has one seriously large set of lungs and they are used to capacity on this track. We Invented Love is another uptempo rock anthem in the vein of Native Sons. A good fun uptempo rocker with a pure AOR heart. Regulation hooks and harmonies thankfully are in place. Finishing off the album is fine style is Coming Home, a medium paced song that is both moody pop rocker and AOR anthem. More great lead vocals drive the track, that is completed by the appearance of some bagpipes and a rousing la la la sing a long chorus. Perfect melodic rock. The Japanese bonus track Fire On The Bayou is a tougher and slightly more harder edge track, with hints of Terry's southern upbringing shining through. It's not my favorite track on the album, but it is a change of song pace.
| PRODUCTION: 85% | SONGS: 98% | VIBE: 96% | ATTITUDE: 98% | ESSENTIAL FOR: Just about every fan of pure ballad driven melodic rock. Fans of The Sign. |

ADD YOUR OWN REVIEW! (Ratings out of 100 please)
Rating: 93
Since I heard Terry on the two Strangeways albums, I became a fan of his Voice and the fantastic musiclines. His Solo Album is continuing this musical evaluation and really made me happy to hear this kind of music after Strangeways.
My advise to all who heard one of this songs and love it. If you don´t still have one of this Albums.. buy it! I swear you wont be disappointed. ;)
Rating: 95
Superb, this is what AOR is all about or at least it should be.
Very memorable songs that you can`t help but sing along to and unlike some peoples opinions I have no problems with the production quality. The only downside, and hence a rating of 95 and not 100, is the average title track and the Light of the moon track that had a bluesey rock sound which is not my cup of tea. I am now definatly a T Brock fan and I am waiting for the next instalment.
Rating: 95
Have to say one of the best albums I have purchased in a long long time. Great vocals from Mr.Brock and I cannot wait for his next release "Up all night" with the Yankees win again and again and again and the Braves lose,blah blah blah Pure Brilliance
Rating: 95
This is a very good record. Terry is one of the best singers in the world. And the songs is almost amazing..but that I could say that is bad is the production on places of the record. Its not that great sound that have made this record a 100%. But its not bad..but it could be better. So on his next record it would be good if the production was better.
But its a must by of course..this record must be in your selection.
Rating: 100
On the assumption that we`re rating the vocal and musical content rather than the merits of the production,this is pure aor heaven, without peer!
Rating: 50
Terry Brock is a fine singer by all means but I really think this c.d. is highly overated.The production and engineering on this release is very weak and the songs just didn't catch my interest much.The best ones are "I wanna Love Someone","Up All Night","Another Chance" and "Coming Home.I hope that Terry has better luck with his next c.d.
Rating: 90
I never heard Terry Brock but read the reviews and bought it. Wow. Great Great stuff. The sound quality is terrible, but the songs are well written. I look forward to the next. Get It !!
Rating: 90
great stuff from one of my favorite singers
Rating: 97
What a fantastic album!.
I think this great effort is going to be hard to beat.
It just might be the AOR release of 2001.
It`s powerful when it`s supposed to and beautiful when it should.
Thanks Terry Brock, I knew you had it in you but this is just to much.
Rating: 95
Very very good album with some really beautiful ballads. I love it all the way!
Rating: 96
a big applause for terry, awesome good aor
listen to the light of the moon and you know why!!!
Rating: 90
Finally Terry releases a soloalbum. I have waited years for this to happen after the 2 superb Strangeways albums he sang on.
This album is simply amazing after a few listens. I must admit after i've been listening to the album several times, the more i love it.
It got what and aor album shall have of superb songs either they
are uptempo or ballads.
The one thing that is the big fault about this release is the weak production.
I'm sure that if the production had been better this album would have been for me a classic aor release.
But then again this album is a must have for every aor fan out there, if though the production is very weak.

I thought i read in an article about the WC engine saying that it required Premium (93 or better) octane fuel.
Can anyone confirm/deny that for me please?
Many thanks,

Thank a teacher if you can read this, thank a veteran that it's in English.
Here's what it says on the back cover of the Rider's Manual:
Recommended fuel quality Super unleaded, (max 10% ethanol, E10)
Alternative fuel quality Regular unleaded (restrictions with regard to power and rule consumption. If the engine should for example be operated with 90 RON in countries with lower fuel quality, the motorcycle must be respectively programmed first by your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.)
Now, if someone, once again, would explain the numbers, I would appreciate that. My pumps tend to say 87 (regular) 89 (or 91) and 93 (premium).
Last edited by dancogan; 08-20-2013 at 12:31 AM.
RON is the European standard. PON is the American standard.
95 RON equals 91 PON.
See it here:
I wonder if the good folks who make the GS-911 will make a software update allowing it to change the fuel requirements? Not many gas stations sell premium fuel out in the "kuds" of Mongolia, Mexico or Africa
Thank a teacher if you can read this, thank a veteran that it's in English.
So many folks appear to look at a premium fuel requirement as some sort of insult or deal breaker, but it's in fact a sign of an efficiently running motor. Compression = efficiency. Out in Mongolia better have plenty of fuel, as the bike will run through lots of it running at reduced efficiency.
Kent Christensen
I'll repeat what dancogan wrote in different words: Premium is NOT required. AKI 89 is required per the manual. AKI 89 is NOT premium.
I don't own one, but coming back from the far North just recently, you will find only regular at dozens of stops up there. Im certain the new engine can handle the regular without much issue, on occasion. Glad my current gsa1200'07 cares less whats in tank. It runs anything, no complaints. Any world class mc should be able to, imo. You may have to alter your throttle manners a tad if the new engine burbs on regular, less aggression in the throttle until you find higher octane again. Just another oversight by BMW to produce an engine that needs higher performance fuels! Guess they ignore folks riding their bikes in far away places with no such gasoline. I also figure the regulations of such places as California plays a BIG part in nations around the world building vehicles/bikes!!! So the whole world follows the few and the extreme clean gets sold everywhere. STILL, you don't have to travel far to find regular gasoline ONLY, even in the lower 48 states. Its becoming moreso...Randy
While the manual does allow for running 89 AKi/PON or whatever the far-too-many standards are (89 in North America). My concern with running anything below 91 in North America is the Ethanol content which isn't supposed to be good for motorcycle engines.
IIRC, almost all gas in CA has ethanol added @ 10%~, and all other states either follow suit or allow it in 89 and 87. There is however a growing problem with stations blending in more than the allowed 10%. If you could be certain you were getting ethanol-free gas than you'd have a different discussion. Because that isn't usually possible, I'm more comfortable using 91 to be safe.
Fortunately, for me, in Nova Scotia and most other provinces, they don't used ethanol in 91, only in 87 and 89, so it is an easy decision for me. Use 91 and avoid ethanol.
BTW, the octane requirement isn't really a sign of power/efficiency. It is a combination of combustion chamber design. Higher octane is harder to burn and therefore will withstand higher compression pressures before detonating than lower octane will. However, many well engineered engines can easily run 89 octane (NA) with higher compression using good cylinder-head design. Ford's DuraTec 3.5L was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2007 when it was introduced. The normally aspirated version runs a 10.3:1 compression ratio, produces 265HP and 250TQ using solid-lifters and running on 87 octane. When introduced it had the best figures in the world for running 87 and, I believe, was as good or better than anything running 89.

I guess the compression ratio of the new LC is 12,5:1 as opposed to 12:1 for the previous GS 1200 boxer. The manual recommends Super unleaded 95 RON (which is 91 PON in North America), AND up to 10% ethanol max. So I wouldn't be too concerned about ethanol, since 10% is what is mixed in our fuels. That being said, I always try to find some 91 without ethanol, just for the sake of it. Shell, for one, offer ethanol-free 91 fuel. With my previous boxers (1200 GS and RT) I used to run 93 PON, because that's what the manual recommended, and only Petrocan and Sunoco offer it, but then they also add some kind of additives in it, which my chief mechanic advised against. So, I went down to 91 PON. And now I see that BMW have built a new boxer engine with both a higher compression ratio and a lower octane requirement. Plus tolerance for ethanol. Good.
But I do have some put-putting at deceleration. Am I the only one?
Ethanol content isn't relevant since it's an octane enhancer in any event.

Here is the single port in black powdercoat and chrome finishes.
The get started we removed the seat and disconnected the battery, then we removed the horn mounting bolt.
After removing the two bolts from the top of the Power Port we where able to get to the mounting hole (arrow).
Then we installed the power Port onto the horn-mounting stud using the supplied washer and nut.
Next, the wires were routed up under the tank and along the frame toward the battery away from the engine. We secured the wires with the supplied zip-ties, and then connected the two wires to the battery. Black went to the negative post and the red with the fuse went to the positive post.
Once the connections were tight we reinstalled the seat and started charging. The nice thing about the Power Port piece is that it's almost unnoticed when not in use, but comes in handy on trips like when you're camping with no outlet power.
You never know when you're going to be out on a trip longer than you planned. The first thing you may start to think about is the next gas stop. But charging your cell phone, GPS, or even an iPod, which is normally done at the hotel can get overlooked when you're thinking about your trip plans. Now if you need to charge one of your devices as you are riding, you can do so with a Power Port from Wire-Plus. The company's new line of Power Ports can be used to charge phones, GPS devices, laptops, portable music systems, or used to power cigarette lighters, heated gloves, and vests. Any device that connects to a 12V power supply through a standard cigarette lighter can be charged with one of these Power Ports. They are available in dual port for $95 or single port for $69, in chrome or black powdercoat.

Well, some vegetarians or more strcit than others. I know that you probably don't eat red meat or poultry, but do you eat eggs and seafood and other stuff like that?
On the second week of June, I'm going to the magic. The last time I went (as a guest), I wasn't a vegetarian. Now that I am, I realized my eating choices are slim at the main parks. Does anyone have suggestions? I really have no idea saying that when we go to WDW half of the time we're with characters or riding/watching attractions. Thanks ahead of time!!!

It's just the vegans that claim that they don't eat/use any animal by-products. ...At least to their knowledge. Toothpastes, shampoos, chewing gums, etc. usually contain some form of animal by-product, and I usually chuckle when I witness a vegan using them.
i used to be a vegetarian for years and although i had to look at the menu a little longer then everyone else i was always able to find something....if you're looking for something easy, i usually would have a salad for lunch or pasta for dinner and disney was always happy to take out the few things i wouldn't eat...they're really good that way.....once they made me a special dish at the yachtsman's steakhouse bc i coudln't find anything

Dartmouth sits in the banks of the mouth of the River Dart in South Devon, looking out over the sea and the river to the colourful hillside village of Kingswear. With twisting streets, cobbled market squares and a range of boutique shops and galleries, the charm of Dartmouth is undeniable, and with so much to see and do, self catering Dartmouth cottages are the perfect solution for a family holiday by the sea.
The harbour is still the focal point of the town, and can be seen from the majority of self catering Dartmouth cottages, which is an ideal thing to wake up to in the mornings. The Yacht Club of Dartmouth and Kingswear organise a full summer calendar of regattas and events, which keeps the whole town in a vibrant state throughout the summer months. If you would like to try your hand at sailing, there are excellent sailing schools in the area, as well as chances to join up with fishing trips and sightseeing trips up the River Dart which is a beautiful way to spend a day from Dartmouth accommodation.
Back on dry land, the beautifully preserved Elizabethan buildings are a beautiful site, and the town is adorned with flowers throughout the summer. After a morning's exploration of the flower strewn summer streets, there are a great number of little pubs, cafes and restaurants in which to relax.
Lovers of the great outdoors will be delighted by the range of cliff walks, bridle paths, cycle ways and boat trips available, as well as the great number of fishing rivers, wind surfing spots and golf courses on which to play. On those few rainy days, the whole region is littered with ancient sites, houses and castles, most of which are cared for by the National Trust.
The quaint village of Brixham is well worth investigating from a holiday cottage in Dartmouth, Devon. The village is a beautiful working fishing village centred on a small harbour in which a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind towers above small trawlers.
Self catering Dartmouth cottages are very easy to reach. Both Exeter (EXE) and Plymouth (PLH) airports are within a short drive of a Dartmouth holiday home, and there are rail stations in Totnes and Plymouth.

Since Sunday morning, we've had a question on the front page of this little site asking you, "Will the potential for snow during Monday night's game have an impact on the contest?"
Sixty-nine percent of the 5,000-plus voters in this admittedly unscientific, non-Gallup poll say, "Yes."
So you're probably aware of what's happened the last couple of times that snow has visited INVESCO Field at Mile High. Especially since it's arrived on two of the last three occasions that ESPN parked its trucks underneath the stadium concourse to beam a prime-time game to all corners of the globe (the exception was in the season opener against Kansas City, and while Colorado weather can be wacky, it's not usually to the point where snow falls on downtown Denver while it's still officially summer).
I don't mean to be a pessimist here –
"Stop," the internal monologue says. (I always wished that my internal monologue sounded like John Facenda, but, unfortunately, it sounds like, well, me.) "Don't fib to the readers. Your friends constantly inform you that you make Eeyore look like an optimist. C-3PO said 'We're doomed' far less often than you. Remember reading about 'Gloomy' Gil Dobie as a kid? You grew up to be him.
"You say you're a realist, but that's just your defense mechanism. Face it. You're a pessimist. Accept it. Be honest."
Thanks. May I write now?
Anyhow, knowing this, these three paragraphs of facts:
While the Broncos have enjoyed many successful games in the snow — the 1984 Monday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers, the infamous snowball game — also on MNF in 1985 against the San Francisco 49ers, a regular-season ending game against the San Diego Chargers in 1987, a 1997 win over the Carolina Panthers — who come from a place where ice storms happen far more frequently than snow ones — I can't help but look at losses in 2002 and 2004, in the snow, on ESPN, which represent two of the most bitter defeats the Broncos endured in recent years.
But as something approximating the sun shines into the room in which I write these words, I have to point out this: that the Broncos won in frigid temperatures at Tennessee on Christmas Day 2004, in shivering rain against Washington last year, and on something approximating an ice rink in Buffalo last December. At home, the Broncos have also improved the last two years; after dropping five straight regular-season home games from 2002-04 in which the temperature was below 50 degrees, the Broncos have won their last three.
Oh, and in those snowy ESPN defeats, they wore their alternate orange jerseys. They've never been worn since, and won't be donned tonight, either. Denver's record on ESPN in its navy blues? A much better 3-1.
Let it snow? Might as well. After all, nothing says autumn in Colorado like a random snowfall just 72 hours after the temperature broke 80.

There are about 150 Brisas in Spain currently. The average age for a Brisa is 16, if that helps? About 30 of them were born outside of Spain, and the majority of those born in Spain were born in Barcelona (the province, not necessarily the city).
It's used, but it isn't common. I've heard it before, but never in person.Lucia

Brisa became one of the hottest names in America (though used exclusively among Spanish-speakers) about 3 years ago, due to the popularity of a lead character on a Spanish-language soap opera. Then it became one of the most rapidly falling names. Some theorized that in addition to the character and the pretty meaning, the popular "Br" sound (Brielle, Aubrey, Brianna, etc) helped propel it up.

Caracas, Venezuela • An early morning explosion and fire at Venezuela's largest refinery killed at least 26 people Saturday and left the nation's most important source of auto and airline fuel out of commission.
Giant flames and columns of smoke continued to billow from the Amuay refinery, about 200 miles west of Caracas, the capital, into the afternoon.

Post a Comment |
The disaster occurred just six weeks before Venezuela's Oct. 7 presidential election, with the efficiency of President Hugo Chavez's government a campaign issue. State-owned oil company PDVSA is the owner and operator of the refinery.
A gas leak apparently caused the accident at the sprawling complex, which destroyed or damaged 11 tanks where propane gas, crude oil, naphtha and other chemicals were being stored.
It was too soon to say what effect the fire, at one of the largest refineries in the world, could have on U.S. gasoline prices. On average, Amuay exports about 360,000 barrels per day of refined gasoline, mostly unleaded, to the eastern United States. Thus, U.S. motorists, who buy more than half of the complex's average production of 645,000 barrels per day, could pay higher prices if the refinery remains out of commission.
Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez, who heads PDVSA, told reporters at the disaster site Saturday morning that some of the fires near the tanks were under control and that there were sufficient inventories of fuel to ensure internal supplies and exports for 10 days. But fires continued to burn in pipelines that connect areas of the refinery to storage tanks, Ramirez said.
"We had a gas leak whose cause we will determine. This gas generated a cloud that then exploded, causing fires in at least two tanks of the refinery," Ramirez said. "The explosive impact was of such a large magnitude that there was important damage to the structures of the refinery and housing in front of it."
Sources also told the Los Angeles Times that oil tankers had been moved away from docks close to the refinery on the Gulf of Coro in case the fire spreads.
Commercial flights from the international airport at Las Piedras, which provides connecting flights to Curacao, Aruba and other Caribbean destinations, were suspended indefinitely because of the smoke.
The dead included 17 national guardsmen who were assigned to protect the refinery. A 10-year-old boy who lived nearby was also among the victims. At least 86 others suffered burns. Social networks, however, reported that many more were still unaccounted for.

With the Amuay fire raging in the background, Venezuelan Defense Minister Henry Rangel Silva went on TV in the afternoon to offer condolences to family members of the guardsmen.
Although deadly refinery accidents occasionally occur around the world, Chavez has made an issue of PDVSA's efficiency and safety as a strong point in his 13 years in power. He fired half of PDVSA's 40,000 workers in 2003 after a strike, but has insisted that the company is performing better than ever.
Saturday's explosion, coming on the heels of this month's collapse of a bridge leading from Caracas to a popular beach area to the east, is sure to trigger opposition charges that Chavez has neglected the nation's infrastructure.
Chavez's opponent in the upcoming election, Henrique Capriles, released a statement expressing his "profound sadness" and support for families of the victims and issued an appeal for calm.
Amuay has had at least eight minor accidents this year. In the PDVSA annual report, the company acknowledged that in 2011 there were only two shutdowns for scheduled maintenance instead of the nine normally carried out. The company didn't explain why maintenance had been reduced.

She gained global acclaim this past year when she strutted her real curves down the Paris runway for John Galliano's and Jean Paul Gaultier's spring collections. At 39 years of age, 5'8" and 290 lb, Velvet's size 28 frame has been causing a stir in the fashion industry and the plus size community. Her compatriots couldn't be more proud. Besides modeling this multi-talented woman is also a photographer, dancer, actress and god parent. If you haven't heard of Velvet, now is your chance to read up.
Moe: Where were you born?
Velvet d'Amour: I was born in Upstate New York.
Moe: Where do you live now?
Velvet d'Amour: Currently I live in Paris, France.
Moe: When did you move to Paris? Why?
Velvet d'Amour: I moved to Paris in January, 1996 as I had fallen in love.
Moe: When did you start modeling?
Velvet d'Amour: When I was 18 years old I started having friends photograph me as I modeled.
Moe: Before John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier had you done runway modeling?
Velvet d'Amour: No, I didn't do any runway shows previous to Galliano and Gauthier.
Moe: Would you do runway again?
Velvet d'Amour: I wouldn't rule out doing runway again, it would depend on the gig, but I can honestly say that by having modeled for both John Galliano and Jean Paul Gauthier I have worked with two of my most cherished designers. I am not about working loads of runways, I prefer to be discriminating and work with the best.
Moe: What have you learned about the industry of modeling you wish you'd known when you started?
Velvet d'Amour: I have learned one of the main components to looking beautiful, is feeling beautiful, feeling beautiful exudes a sense of confidence and that counts in any industry, but is integral when modeling.
Moe: Can you provide three tips for young women wanting to work in the modeling profession?
Velvet d'Amour: Personality counts more then you might imagine, being fun and easy to work with is a huge plus, leave the diva attitude at home as its just plain ugly.
Modeling is perceived as screamingly easy and somehow inherent, personally I 'studied' by collecting diverse magazine poses, (as well as hair and makeup styles). I found that one of the most amazing posers was Linda Evangelista, she consistently stood out amongst other models with her dynamic, creative and exceedingly diverse poses. So don't make the assumption that it's the photographer's job to pose you; if you choose the occupation of modeling then it's your responsibility, do your homework, know your stuff and be accommodating. In the end you are selling a product, take it seriously.
If you want to model, you can, it's as easy as asking a friend to shoot you, and with digital cameras it's much cheaper and easier. That doesn't mean you are guaranteed to land paying work as a model, but it does afford many the possibility of coming to better appreciate them selves. Using modeling and photography is a tool of self acceptance.
I never let other people's opinions effect my belief in myself and in the end that played a large role in how I landed the high profile gigs I did. While some scoffed at the notion of me, a SSBBW hitting the runway, or landing the lead role in a film, I found that those whose opinions do count, saw my potential and were excited at the prospect of taking a risk on me. So when others count you out, don't give up easy!
Moe: Do you think you'll ever move back to the States?
Velvet d'Amour: My guess at this point is I won't move back to America as I have the best of both worlds by popping back and forth between Paris and New York, but I never say never. Who knows, I may end up living in Australia or something, the world is my oyster!
Moe: You starred in a film called Avida. This if your first film? Can you tell the readers a bit about the film and filming? Where can people see it?
Velvet d'Amour: Avida is my first feature length film, I did lots of fun bit parts in short student films as I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, which has a decent film department.
Avida is a very nonlinear, surreal black and white French film. The storyline loosely speaks about the kidnapping of Avida's (that's me, a SSBBW billionaire) dog by a deaf-mute and two ketamine addicts, which ends up going wrong. Avida takes advantage of the situation by making them fulfill her last wishes. If you enjoy Bunuel (filmmaker) you may also like Avida.
The filming took place in a small old coal mining town in northern France during the month of August - h o t ! The cast and crew were amazingly fun and it was an incredible experience. The icing on the cake was finding out we made it into the Cannes Film Festival, and being able to walk the red carpet in the festival with Mathieu Kassovitz was definitely beyond my wildest dreams!
The film is currently hitting international film festivals and will at some point be available on DVD.
Moe: Do you want to make more films?
Velvet d'Amour: I am always open to artistic pursuits, but I am definitely very discerning in everything I choose to participate in, as I make a point to accept only those offers which do not intentionally demean fat people. I make a note to say 'intentionally' as it is so rare to witness a woman of my size doing much of anything in mainstream media that sadly, some people automatically classify my participation as such.
Moe: How do you feel about being an advocate and role model for plus size women?
Velvet d'Amour: I am a very passionate advocate for the positive inclusion of plus size women in modern media, as well as for helping people in general to accept and love themselves. My efforts at advocacy stem from feeling utterly indignant at how fat people are depicted in general. If people view me as a role model, I am honored to be perceived as such.
Moe: Do you consider yourself to be healthy?
Velvet d'Amour: While I have often answered this question, I am admittedly perturbed by it. By virtue of being plus size I am thusly expected to tout my health, yet my smaller counterparts, be it in contemporary dance, or film, or in fashion, are never asked the state of their health. I do not drink alcohol and I never have, I do not take drugs and I never have, I do not smoke and I never have, yet many of these same counterparts do one, or a combination of all of the above, and yet merely by virtue of weighing less then I, are completely excluded from this patronizing question.
Moe: Do you think you are encouraging other to adopt a fat lifestyle?
Velvet d'Amour: I find the notion utterly laughable. Having read one forum which stated, by Jean Paul (Gauthier) using me on the runway, we were 'promoting' obesity, I was left incredulous. Honestly, do you think the next day 8 year olds were powering down pizzas in vain attempts at emulating me?!
There have always been fat people throughout history, and there always will be fat people, so to reject the possibility of our inclusion in any positive way, in the vain assumption that by virtue of seeing a fat person in any positive light it will 'encourage' a fat 'lifestyle' is ludicrous. The notion seems an effective way to stifle any fat involvement by virtue of such participation being viewed as condoning unhealthy living, yet thin models have been walking the same runway for decades now and their participation is never scrutinized, which must imply they are the symbols of health, even if we witness them drop dead of anorexia, or hear rumors of drug use, and merely witness them eat junk food etc.!
Clearly obesity needs no encouragement, and this is partially due to the persistent, practically unattainable beauty ideals average people face daily. If there were any direct connection between what is witnessed on the runway and reality, then we would all be screamingly thin, instead we see more and more fat people.
Moe: What message do you have to give to fans?
Velvet d'Amour: The message I give my fans is to live life to the fullest! Live z e s t y ! Revel! Don't waste time on what you don't have, instead concentrate on what you do have. Practice acts of kindness, as physical beauty may fade but (as trite as it may sound), genuine beauty comes from within. Pay it forward.
Moe: What about to those who just don't get it.
Velvet d'Amour: They are welcome to their opinions.
Moe: What makes you happy?
Velvet d'Amour: Simple pleasures: dancing, laughing with friends, swimming in the sea, photography, listening to thunderstorms while snuggled up in bed, reading in the bathtub by candlelight, volunteering, playing with my three supremely adorable, stunningly gorgeous and most delightful godsons! Life is chock full of pleasure!
Moe: What makes you sad?
Velvet d'Amour: Prejudice, violence, bullying, close-mindedness, and apathy towards human suffering.
Moe: What do you want to try but haven't yet attempted?
Velvet d'Amour: My siblings and I always have a bit of a giggle and say, FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY! since my Mom got all five of us that same book one year for Christmas; and I have lived by that motto, except when it comes to scuba diving. Since I adore snorkeling it makes sense to scuba, it looks so magical, but that's one fear I've yet to overcome. Maybe I can ask Galliano and Gaultier to stitch me up some pink wetsuits, that'll inspire me to dive!

I look to see Jack as an undertaker and buring deacon....maybe he will be showing his feelings while he prepares for his death.
I had never even HEARD of this movie, but loved the cast, so I tivo'd it and ended up watching it last night. And, I thought it was really good! The story was very detailed and covered things that are usually questioned or just never explained in most horror/thriller type movies (because the director either doesn't care or thinks we're too stupid to \"get\"). Like the school boy's home
It was an interesting movie but it made no sense! You don't know what is what! It had a terrible ending! And just didn't make any sense!
Okay...I liked the movie...but...and warning SPOIL ALERT...I feel that the ending should have been different. I think that Ricci should have actually been dead, I think it would have had more of a message then just that there are crazy people out there who can do horrible things to innocent people. I think that if they had made her dead, then after Long's accident they could have had him go and
I agree with Jackd1207, but don't think we can change the 4 star user review (seems to be set in stone) even if all users reviews rate it one star. Let's try though.

Is nutrition too complicated? These 10 simple commandments are guaranteed to make you healthier, fitter and faster
1. Plan your diet
Devise a sensible eating plan that you can stick to, which will suit your lifestyle. Don't set yourself unreasonable targets for food consumption. Unless you're seriously overweight, it's unlikely that your diet will need to undergo drastic restructuring.
Start by analysing what you are eating now. Sit down with a pen and paper and ask yourself some questions about your dietary habits. Do you have breakfast? Do you feel tired and hungry by the time you run in the evening? If your diet is repetitive and boring you may not be getting the variety of foods necessary for adequate nutrient intake.
2. Eat little and often
Frequent snacking throughout the day is a sure way to avoid low blood sugar levels and tiredness by the time you get home for your run. Research shows that eating little and often is best for runners… as long as you're eating the right things!
Make a point of taking high-carbohydrate snacks to work with you so that you aren't caught out. Avoid high-fat snacks such as crisps and chocolate, opting instead for high-carbohydrate and low-fat snacks, which make the best fuel. Dry breakfast cereal, plain popcorn, bagels, low-fat crispbreads, bananas and other fruit are all excellent choices.
3. Don't ignore the main meals
Regular sensible snacking is important, but proper meals are where carbo-loading really counts. Pasta is deservedly the runner's favourite, but there are plenty of other excellent high-carbohydrate foods, such as rice, baked potatoes, lentils, muesli and even baked beans. Still, beware! Some high-carbohydrate foods are also high in fat. Lasagne, thin-crust pizza, croissants and granola are some of the worst culprits.
4. Supplement those supplements
Instead of spending a small fortune on pills and potions to supplement your diet, try to ensure that you get the vitamins and minerals you need from the food you eat.
It's a big mistake to think that a supplement will completely satisfy your nutritional needs. Taking a pill might give you the recommended daily amount of a particular vitamin, but you also need protein, minerals, fibre and energy in the form of calories, which no pill will provide.
6. Drink more water
Water is the body's most important nutrient. It makes up between 50 and 60 per cent of your bodyweight and provides the medium in which most of the body processes occur. Aim to drink throughout the day, with a pint of water (or a sports drink) an hour before you run, and half a pint for every 30 minutes of running. On days when you run you should aim to consume five litres during the day, twice as much as is necessary on rest days.
8. Don't forget your pre-race meal
You're well-versed in the idea of carbo-loading, but there are still a few tricks of the trade that can help you to race at your best. Firstly, don't overeat late the night before as this will make sleep harder to come by. Secondly, don't think of that final plate of pasta on the eve of the race as your last meal. Your body will use up some of that food energy overnight, so make sure you have breakfast. European 5000 and 10,000m champion Sonia O'Sullivan chooses bread or cereal, coffee, perhaps a banana and lots of water, but the carbohydrate combination you opt for is up to you. Just cut right down on fat and protein, which take a long time to digest. Coffee is fine if it's part of your normal routine – just be sure to drink plenty of water along with it.
9. Learn to drink on the run
Lengthy races – 10Ks and longer – often have drinks stations to replace lost fluids, and if you are running a marathon they will help you to scale the dreaded 'wall'. Drinking on the run is an import element of technique and one you will need to practice prior to your race. Before you start the race, find out whether the drinks stations are providing water, or carbohydrate drinks as well. If you plan to use a carbo drink, be sure that you've tested it in practice runs. As you approach the station look right; most runners prefer to veer left to collect their drink, so the other side is often less crowded. Grab the cup with one hand and instantly cover the cup with the other if you plan to drink it as you run. Don't be afraid to stop and walk; a few seconds spent drinking properly will easily pay off in terms of performance.
10. Carbo-load for recovery
Immediately after a race or a hard run it's important to refuel your body with high-carbohydrate food or drink. The first four hours after strenuous exercise is a crucial time for taking on new glycogen to replace what you've lost lost while working hard. Aim to keep stocking up every 15 minutes or so rather than gorging on one meal, because this maintains higher blood glucose and insulin concentrations, which in turn makes greater absorption into the muscles possible. Recent research suggests that including around 25 per cent protein in your recovery food will optimise the recovery of your muscles.
Can you at last put an up-to-date version on? Not 2002!
New to this, but just felt Philip deserved the reply he should be getting. The advice above is all good advice, be it dated 2002 or 2010.
Stop being so pedantic.
Because research is being done all the time, which can advance our understanding.
Champagne used to be considered a good in-race performance enhancer. Is it now?
Current thinking is that milk-based recovery drinks are a good idea. High nitrate foods (eg spinach, beetroot) are thought to have advantages. Is this covered in the 2002 version?
An update would seem overdue.
Why have they skipped out on 5 and 7? can they not count or are they scared of the numbers?

Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad Gets Chest Compression Machines
December 7, 2012
The Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad has a new tool to help save lives.
It's called the "lucas 2" and it is basically a robotic CPR machine.
Rescue workers can strap it to a patient on the ground, and the machine will give continuous compressions to help restart the patient's heart.
Lucas 2 is a powerful, battery-operated machine, and it is like having an additional rescue worker at the scene.
"What this will do is it will streamline the number of people that we will have to do chest compressions," said Anthony Judkins, a CARS training officer. "So they will have other tasks assigned to them to help with the cardiac arrest."
The rescue squad has two of the compression machines, each costing $14,000.

I'm finishing the final preparations of a new consulting branch to my company. The official roll out is at a presentation in two weeks. Using the iPad and Keynote, I've designed the entire presentation and have it pretty much ready to go. Keynote, while not as robust as the full Mac version, still has plenty of features to look beautiful and quite professional. Exporting the presentation to my MacBook Pro for the projection portion of the presentation. The iPad is honestly going to be a focal point of an interactive portfolio for meetings with new clients. The flexibility of this machine is completely dependent on pulling your mind out of the box and discovering the best implementation. I'm using iBooks to hold all of my static Adobe documents and have Pages at the ready for pulling additional documents.
Anyone that thinks this is simply a toy and can't figure out how it can be implemented in the business world is dead wrong. I believe it is actually only going to get stronger in this venue as it develops. I have been so far past impressed with it since the purchase it isn't even funny.
At this point, I even use it to work on a book I've been writing. Gotten quite used to the virtual keyboard and fly on it. Feels almost natural, in all honesty. The benefit to working on the presentations and book is the "instant on" nature of the iPad. Before when I used to have ideas, I would have to get the laptop, wait for it to boot up and then work. Now, just turn it on and I'm ready to go.
Absolutely excellent.

Done wrong, listeners are left thinking, "well, I won't be checking out that album." Marion Write's so (deservedly) confident in his … Read More
