Nils, that's not a Pfitzinger week. Way too much MP. You should just say you're on the Thunder13 12/70 plan instead of defaming a legend. Any reason you changed the prescribed week so drastically? Or do you just think Pfitz is a moron?

My week:
I had a pretty good week for me considering the heat and all. Still JV numbers mileage wise (53.3), but I've averaged 50mpw for the last 8 weeks, and am getting it up a little higher. This is significantly more than my spring plan when I averaged 39. I adjusted the paces down a bit because of the heat, and following calbearsfan's lead on using a pfitzinger style long run instead of the Hanson's fast long run.
Frank - I adapted the week to fit. It's Pfitz week 2, except for the rest day yesterday and the 3 K added on to the long run today. Monday I did the 16 K RR in one run. The paces are not in the optimal range, that's work in progress. Why the MP? To adapt my body to running this pace easily. Next Sunday there is a MP Long Run 31 K with 16 K @ MP. I will make sure to do that when it's a bit cooler outside.
The Long runs are the key workouts of every Marathon Training, I'll try to add on a couple of K to each one.Carlbrad - Don't follow the plans like written in stone. First and foremost listen to your body. My current HMP is 4:03 and MP is currently 4:10, I hope to be able to shave that down to a 4:05.
The Long runs are the key workouts of every Marathon Training.
Is that your opinion? I've actually never heard any of the leading coaches say that. I'm not doing any long runs this cycle, so for my sake I hope you're wrong
From afar, I see two things happening to you 1) You're having a little bit of trouble with your LT runs 2) You're getting niggles already and taking unscheduled rest days. This is not good. Slow it down. Don't combine your doubles on a recovery day either. And of course, good luck.
Frank - When is your Marathon? You will want to have 12 to 18 20++ Milers in your log. You are right that pushing it has been on the edge, I will be careful with speeding it up so much. I would even go so far as to say, to comfortably run the last 10 K, I ran 2 full in the preparation weeks. The Long Runs and Tempo Runs are the key workouts. If you drop everything else, make sure you get those done. If possible a Long Run up to 39 K.
Week one of my Pfitzinger 12/85+ plan is history. I ended up with 84 miles including a 5k pace track work out on Tuesday (not part of the plan) 16 miles on Wednesday and 17.5 today with 8 at 6:40 to 6:45 pace. I was feeling great for most of the run and really flying, but my foot started to hurt around 14. Great run though. I think it's my PF flaring up. Didn't hurt too much running straight, but was pretty tender when I had to turn corners. Good week for me!
Marathon PR: 2:54:58 Half Marathon: 1:23:15 10k: 36:42. 5k:17:35
Swampangel - that's a nice week. Good luck w/ the pf. I've had mine flaring up intermittently for the last 6 months. Feels good right now though.
Nils - my longest scheduled run is 16 miles. I'm considering going a little longer if I can get my miles up a bit more, but I'm holding firm on no runs more than 30% of my weekly total. Probably not a good plan for someone as endurance compromised as I am, but I chose it because I was always on the edge of injury running 20 mile runs on 45- 50 mile weeks for my spring marathon.
Frank - You got to know what you do. Know yourself. I can tell you from my experience that without the Long runs, at least a dozen 20++ Milers. The Marathon is going to be a painful experience and either pace goes down dramatically or take a walk. I hope you prove me wrong. Pfitz says that stuff that caused injuries in the past will not necessarily cause injuries now. I have tried it and he is right. I strongly recommend you to get in a dozen 20++ Milers to have the endurance to cruise in the race. The best way to prepare a Marathon is to run a Marathon. You might want to schedule some warm up runs. Just to get used to running that distance. Totally unprepared, the wall will hit hard. That's just my 2 Cents. Again, know yourself. Pfitz also says we have to take more risks, if we want to produce better results.
That said my LR, MP next Sunday is going to be a 35 K.
Is Swampangel shooting for sub 2:55 next cycle?!! I cannot take that guy seriously.
2013 Races: Half - 1:22:41 Full - 2:51:20 10k - 37:24
Why not? He is 52 or 53 years old. Pretty good times for being in his 50's.
Mo: 8@7:32
Tu: -
We: 8@7:30
Th: 12@7:50
Fr: 8@7:10 including strides
Sa: 15.5@7:00 (including 10 miles @ MP or just a bit faster, 6:40 avg)
Su: 8@7:40
I had a rough start of the week, other sports activities on monday dehydrated me seriously; that and the continuous heat made me feel lousy, with heavy legs, basically until friday. Oh well...
@Piwi Kiwi how did you feel during your MP run?
My running log
+ 1. Excellent times. 80% Age graded equals a 2:33.
I didn't check my watch, but I think I cam in at the low 60s this week (plan called for 70). Took an URD because some family was in town and cut a couple runs short due to heat. Like today's long run was supposed to be 23, but I stopped at 2.5 hours which was 20ish.
Next week will be beach running, and I will have to fiddle with the plan as I am in the tune up race part and I am thinking I will just do one half instead of the two 10ks. I am just thankful I am done with tempo runs.
I don't care what age he is....he is scared of racing for whatever reason.
Mo - no running
Tu - 9mi w/ 4@ 6:10/mi
We - 14mi @ 7:31/mi
Th - 5mi @ easy
Fr - 11mi @ 7:47/mi
Sa - 20mi @ 7:34/mi
Su - AM 4mi @ easy / PM 4mi @ easy w/ 6x strides
To - 66mi
A good week for me. The paces slowed down but I think that has more to do with heat and humidity than anything. Switching the long run to Saturday was a little hard but I think it's for the best.
Okay, here we go again; me having to defend my race pace strategy. Yes, my goal pace for TC Marathon is 2:54:xx and NO Mickey I am not "afraid" of racing. I know what my body is capable of and plan a smart race. I have been through my share of death marches and I don't ever what to go through another one. I enjoy running and racing, but certainly don't want to train hard for 12 or 18 weeks just to run a real fast 22 miles!
I don't think age is that much of a factor when it comes to endurance. You certainly lose speed, but it is obvious to me that you can continue to build endurance into and past "middle age." (Yes, I am 52).
Weekly Miles:
Monday 8.01 @ 7:43
Tuesday 15.11 w/6 tempo @ 6:03 avg (6:52 entire run)
Wednesday 10.22 @ 7:28
Thursday AM 12.15 @ 7:15 PM 8.12 @ 7:34
Friday 10.15 @ 7:21
Saturday 14.23 @ 7:22
Sunday 18.06 w/7 MP @ 6:10 avg (6:53 enire run)
Total Miles 96.04
It was really warm and humid this week. I did all my weekday runs early in the AM and it was still 73 with almost 100% humidity. Thursday nights run was really hot. I was really pleased with the tempo and MP miles as they were done in warm and humid conditions.
I know I said this before but next week is definitely a cutback week. I have averaged 97 MPW for the last 6 weeks.
Wow, Dkg, that is awesome running. To run that kind of mileage consistently at those paces in hot summer conditions is amazing? When is your goal marathon?
I am running Akron on 9/28. I am probably going to drop the mileage a bit for the push in.
DKG-- that is a heck of a week.
Everybody else -- looks like training is going well.
Last week was my last lower mileage week before I get back near 60 per week in the push towards Chicago in October. The week looked like this:
Mon: Off (was supposed to run a 5K, but skipped it because my wife was sick)
Tues: 6 miles easy
Wed: 6 miles w/ 4 hill sprints (hot outside)
Thurs: 6 miles easy; pilates (hotter)
Fri: 6 miles easy (like standing on the sun hot, even at 5:00 a.m., which is when I do all my runs).
Sat: 6 miles easy (cooler, but I felt like garbage after a late and inebriated night at a Pearl Jam concert)
Sun: 14 miles on a hilly route (avg. 7:14 per mile).
Total: 44 miles.
Things start to pick up for me this week, as I'll be doing 57 miles. I already cranked out a pretty good run this morning: 9 miles, which included 4x1mile at half-marathon pace with a 400m rest interval (HMP miles were 6:13, 6:11, 6:13, and 6:16). Pretty happy with that effort after doing 14 miles yesterday.
PRs: Marathon: 2:58:30 (Chicago 2013); Half-Marathon: 1:22:48 (9/13); 10K: 37:18 (5/13); 5K: 17:57 (7/13)
dkggpeters is going to become the Nr. 1 Masters Marathoner, in his AG in the US and watch him do it worldwide. That is an insane week, 96.04 Miles at those paces in this blistering heat and humidity.
All those young guns on this thread, look and admire the master at work. You dream about running that mileage at night in your wildest dreams.
Frank - I wish you good luck. I will reiterate that the key workouts are tempo and long. Speed and Endurance. Combine that and you have a fast Marathon. Actually the MPLR's are probably the best preparation.
Really happy to see everyone is manning up and running through the heat. Hurts so good. And a bunch of you (cough...DKG, Rachel, Swampangel) are freaks with the high mileage.
I just wanted to report today is my 1 year anniversary since I started training toward running goals. Before July 22nd last year I was only running 1-2 times per week in between weight workouts and mountain biking; averaging 5-10 mpw. As we all know that's not even enough running to improve much at all. My 5k PR was around 21:30 and my 10k was about 44 mostly just from mountain biking aerobic fitness. Through the next few months I increased my MPW into the teens, 20s and the 30s by the end of 2012. I broke 20 in the 5k and close to 40 in the 10k.
I got to 40 mpw in January and hit my first and only HM in 1:25 in March. I averaged 42 mpw in 2013 before my first and only marathon in May where I learned a lot about the distance and the weather. I have averaged just under 50 mpw since and hit a new week high at 53 last week. I hope to hold steady in the mid 50s for the next month or so before looking at low 60s in September. I feel like with that mileage and a cool day I can hit sub 3 in Richmond, Virginia on November 16th. This forum has been a huge help following along with real people that have similar goals. You guys rock.
Train your Brain to Sustain in Pain
2014 Goals: FM-2:58:58, HM-PR, 10K-PR, 5K-PR, MPW- 50 avg More than Frank
why dont you just keep the volume in the 50s? why up it to the 60s and risk injury? are you sure your body can handle the increase?
Yeah, I heard about that when I watched the live feed. That is just nuts. Looks like I need to get off my lazy butt and get moving.
Hey everyone, just checking in. I ran 56 miles last week, average pace about 7:30, nothing special. I bailed on a long run on Sunday after 10 miles for no reason other than not feeling like running. Since smashing my long term goal of going sub-3 in June I've found my motivation lacking. I am starting pfitz 12/70 this week, with a rest day yesterday and 8 w/8 strides this morning. I haven't actually signed up for the Marathon on Oct. 20th yet, and for some reason I can't quite get myself to pull the trigger. Maybe I will just do the half off of the 12/70 plan and see what happens. Physically I'm fine but it could be that running two marathons in just over 3 months has burned me out mentally on running.
It's already been said, but some amazing stuff on here. Dkgg you are going to end up as one of the top masters marathoners in the country.
Workouts don't make you faster or stronger. Recovering from workouts makes you faster and stronger.
Best Races: Full: 2:52:06 (6/14), Half: 1:22:00.8 (5/14), 10K: 38:09 (3/13), 5K: 17:55 (6/14).
A 50 yr old lady who ran a 2:42:59. Amazing stuff.
ThereIsNoTry - It's funny how similar our trajectories are. I think I'm about 6 months ahead of you, but it looks like our weekly mileage is converging now. My 9 week trailing average is 51mpw now. Compared to 39mpw for my last full cycle. I'm hoping a 33% increase in miles will make a substantial difference in my time.
4thirtyamguy - Sounds like you need a new goal or some time off of marathon training. Are there many trail races around you? I might do that for a while when I'm ready for a change.
I haven't actually signed up for the Marathon on Oct. 20th yet, and for some reason I can't quite get myself to pull the trigger. Maybe I will just do the half off of the 12/70 plan and see what happens. Physically I'm fine but it could be that running two marathons in just over 3 months has burned me out mentally on running.
Don't run the full. just do the half and shoot for 1:21 or so.you shouldn't do marathons without the motivation to train. I learned that this summer by signing up for a full months ago, before figuring out that I needed a break after track, which pushed everything back including marathon training. Now I've switched to the half and won't even race that, I'll just do whatever it takes to win. it was won last year in 1:28 so i'm not too worried
2014 Goals: 15:29 5000m 32:29 10000m in the spring
This is me leading her out in a 10k about 2 years ago when I hadn't broken 40 in the 10k. It was the first km and I ran it in 3.20 and then bonked haha
Why are you running with so many chicks? Are kiwi women just that fast?
Well of course she's going to move fast.....she's in a hand crank cycle running downhill. Sheesh!! ;-)
PR's: 5K - 16:18, 10K - 35:12, HM - 1:18:39, M - 2:43:37
2013 Goals: 5K - 16:30 (7/28/2013), 10K - 35:00, HM - 1:15, M - 2:45 (4/15/13)
All joking aside, she's looking pretty good for a 50 year old woman!
Women, women and more women. Where are the women?
Frank - That's called a hard run. Run very hard.
I've been reading some loss of motivation on this thread, this is to set the records straight, and pump up the general motivation a bit:
Enough said.
By the way Piwi, you have some strong looking runners legs. Put in the miles. Mikkey and Brock are probably drooling over your legs. ;-)
Oh shut up Swamp, you should be focusing on sub 2:52 for TC. I said before many people over estimate. In the other forum people were off an average of 5 mins. Mikkey and I both said you could run a lot faster but you were scared to push your limits. If I recall you may have even picked it up at the end that says you could have held a slightly faster paced and finished even. I'm pretty good in assessing people as well as myself. You, I knew in my heart of hearts, could have gone faster. But you were scared of hitting a wall. You call it cautious, Mikkey called it scared I called it a lack of balls. Grow some nuts and slam this next one you BQed or whatever you needed, time to man up. I am still a fan of yours, now make me happy.

After the Civil War, Warrenton became a mecca for horse lovers. In 1883 the Warrenton Hunt was established and in 1900 the Warrenton Horse Show, which has achieved fame as the "Hunter Show of America," began. In 1922 the first Virginia Gold Cup Race was run. Other hunts, such as the Cassanova and the Old Dominion, are located within a few miles of town.
The quaintness, tradition and charm of bygone eras are apparent along Old Town Warrenton streets lined with historic houses and brick sidewalks. Townsfolk gather on the steps of the post office or at a coffee shop to pass the time of day, perhaps pausing to listen as the old courthouse clock strikes the hour. A blend of old and new businesses offer antiques, furniture, rugs, toys, books, artwork, clothing, jewelry, equestrian supplies and gifts. Specialty shops and a variety of fine restaurants satisfy the most discriminating palates. A thriving farmer's market offers home grown vegetables, preserves, baked goods, flowers and crafts. Located at 5th and Lee Streets, one block off Main Street, the market is open Wednesday and Saturday mornings from April through November.

Vineyards & Wineries
There are over 50 farm wineries tucked away in valleys or nestled on the slopes of Virginia's rolling hills. Virginia ranks seventh nationally among commercial wine producing states behind California, New York, Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Virginia's wine tradition dates back to 1609 when Jamestown settlers fermented native American grapes and made the first wine in the New world. However, it was Thomas Jefferson, Virginia's original wine pioneer, whose travels as ambassador to France led him to recognize the similarity of Virginia's soil and climate to the great winemaking regions of Europe. Most recently, Virginia was named as the "nation's most promising emerging wine region" by the Wine Spectator. Virginia Wines consistently grab the national and international spotlight from their competitors.
Wine tours are featured in the Virginia Wineries Festival and Tour guide. The guide includes detailed regional maps that make it easy to locate not only individual wineries, but also to plan trips which will include several wineries in close proximity, such as those prominently featured in the Blue Ridge Wine Way. The guide also lists numerous wine festivals and special events which feature craft shows, live bands, grape stomping and more.

1. Star Trees
The five giant sequoias were planted north of Collins Science Hall by President Knopf in 1942 to honor Willamette University's centennial celebration. If you stand in the center of the trees and look upward, the trees frame a star shaped view of the sky, creating a "Temple for the Centuries."[back to top]
2. Cone Chapel in Waller Hall
The second floor of Stately Waller Hall is dedicated to the Cone Chapel, a favorite venue for Willamette Valley Weddings. The Chapel accommodates up to 300 and features a magnificent pipe organ and is accented by unique stained glass. The lovely setting is also utilized for lectures and Student programing.[back to top]
3. Justice Statue
This unusually clear eyed Lady of Justice once stood atop the Marion County Courthouse from 1906 -1952 when it was donated to the WU College of Law by the Marion County commissioners. The statue now greets visitors just inside the entrance of the Truman Wesley Collins Legal Center.[back to top]
4. Goudy Commons / Bon Appetit
Our campus food service features local ingredients and a commitment to sustainable practices. Our largest campus dinning option was made famous when celebrity chef Rachel Ray enjoyed Goudy Common's Thursday lunchtime small plates while filming her $40 a day Food Channel show. (Episode AD1D03)[back to top]
5. Martha Springer Botanical Garden
Dedicated in 1988 in honor of emeritus professor Martha Springer, the garden is fulfillment of the inspiration and hard work of a group of professors, students and staff. Over a third of the garden is dedicated to Oregon native plants.[back to top]
6. Mill Race
This landmark waterway runs the full length of campus and was once diverted for use by the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill. At the beginning of the academic year, incoming freshmen join in a Willamette tradition by placing floating candles in the stream during their matriculation ceremony. Four years later on Graduation day the CLA Seniors process along the same stretch of the stream enroute to their Commencement ceremony.[back to top]
7. Hallie Ford Museum of Art
Willamette University's Art Museum was founded in 1998 and designed to support the liberal arts curriculum of Willamette University and to serve as an intellectual and cultural resource for Salem and beyond.[back to top]
8. Hatfield Library
Willamette University's College of Liberal Arts library was dedicated in 1986 in honor of Oregon's former senator, Willamette alumnus, teacher and administrator - Mark O. Hatfield.[back to top]
9. Bistro Willamette
This student run coffee shop was founded in 1986 and is seeped in WU tradition. The handmade treats and espresso drinks are all prepared by WU students using recipes passed down by decades of dedicated Bistro crews. This vibrant community treasure also features live music, open mics, student art shows, poetry readings and intimate lectures.[back to top]
10. Impossible Triangle
Physic professor Maurice Stewart designed this unique sculpture located on the northern shore of the Mill Race. Go to the second floor balcony on the North side of the Putnam University Center and as you move into position watch this sculpture transform through optical illusion, into a triangle which "can't be made".[back to top]
11. Worth Learning More...
Lausanne Hall - Built in 1920, the three story red-brick and stone accented structure was created to be a "commodious, modern dormitory for women." Erected to replace Chloe Clark Willson's former home that had been moved two blocks to the Willamette campus in 1880 and became Willamette Women's College. Both structures were named Lausanne Hall for the sailing ship Lausanne, which brought 53 additional volunteers, and much needed supplies in 1839, proving crucial in aiding the Methodist mission and the founding of Willamette University. Renovated in 1996 this coed hall houses 152 Liberal Arts students during the academic year and welcomes hundreds of high school and middle school students attending youth camps each summer.
Zena Forest - 305 acres of ecologically diverse and historically significant land purchased by Willamette University from the Trust for Public Lands in 2008. The Willamette University Forest at Zena includes habitats of oak and mixed species woodland, riparian areas, grassland areas, wetlands, freshwater aquatic areas, and forest plantations as well as viable farming land. *If you are part of the Willamette Community and are interested in utilizing Willamette University Forest at Zena, please fill out the Zena Forest Event Request Form or contact Dr. Karen Arabas, Associate Director of Land Conservation and Research at <karabas> or x6666.
Ford Hall - Dedicated in 2009, the $19.6 million academic building was designed to last 100 years and welcomes an unusual mix of disciplines not routinely found under one roof. Ford Hall exemplifies Willamette University's dedication to sustainability and has earned gold certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program of the U.S. Green Building Council.[back to top]

Make the Most of Leftover Halloween Candy
November 1, 2010 | Posted By: Kelly Wilson | Categorized in: Entertainment, Food & Dining Out, Family
Once the fun of trick-or-treating is done, a candy mountain covers the dining room table, its time to deal with the abundance of yummy goodness your kids (and you) have been waiting for!
Check ItBefore letting your kids dig in to the candy mountain, inspect the candy first, of course. Check it over and make sure that the packaging is intact and closed, and toss any pieces with torn and open wrappers into the garbage.
Take Your CutWhile inspecting the sugary goodness, sort through the pieces that you want to keep. For me personally, these are Junior Mints, Almond Joy, Mounds and Milky Way (to name a few). Have each member of the family take a share of their favorites, and provide small lunch-sized paper or plastic bags in which to keep them. We tend to be territorial over our personal candy stashes, and like to decorate our bags for good measure!
Provide Snack TimeHalloween candy brings with it a set of challenges. When it comes to my children, I want to avoid them asking for candy, whining about it, begging for it, sneaking it, and lying about eating it. My strategy is to provide regular times for candy eating the week after Halloween.
Personally, I dont like my kids taking candy to school it gets confiscated and I dont like the idea of sugared-up kids in the classroom. Our candy-eating time of the day is after dinner. Everyone grabs their own stash of Halloween Candy and they eat a certain number of pieces in a specific amount of time. Then its time to put the candy away and for everyone to brush their teeth!
Inevitably during the evening after trick-or-treating, there will be a pile of The Candy Nobody Likes once everyone has their own stash. It may be tempting to just toss it in the garbage, but there are actually several ways to deal with this surplus Halloween candy.
Give it OutTake your own kids out to trick-or-treat earlier in the evening. Hand out the leftover Halloween candy to trick-or-treaters still circulating later at night.
DonateThere are many places that could use a candy stash. Donate your bag of leftovers to your kids classroom teachers or your schools PTA for school events. Give it to your friends or neighbors for upcoming birthday parties. Stop by a local nursing home or hospital and leave the candy for staff members.
Save itStore the surplus Halloween candy in the freezer for a special occasion, like your own childs upcoming birthday party (plan on a piñata) or other Goodie Bags, or a night when youre craving a chocolate fix. Store the leftovers in airtight containers and keep it for decorating Gingerbread Houses during the holiday season.
Bake itCreate a new recipe or look up existing ones that use the leftover candy for a special treat later in the year. Take these baked treats and use them for Christmas Goodie Bags or Boxes as inexpensive and simple gifts.
Send itAmerican troops could use some yummy goodness from home. Go through an organization like Soldiers Angels to send leftover Halloween Candy to troops deployed overseas. If you personally know a soldier, send his/her favorites to enjoy and share.
Take heart as you summit the mountain of Halloween candy when trick-or-treating is done. Enjoy the favorites, and plan how to best use the leftovers when the sorting is done!

Take it to work. Everyone likes free candy. I've found that even "The candy nobody likes" piles go fast at work. Especialy with the teens!

Help for Winter Skin
Look Pretty
The weather outside may be frightful -- and the overheated air inside not so delightful -- but that's no excuse for tolerating dry, flaky skin. The cure, of course, is to use moisturizer; skipping it can cause the outer layer of your skin to crack and flake. "It's essential to hydrate your skin more during the winter," says Dr. Jeanine Downie, a Montclair, New Jersey-based dermatologist and author of Beautiful Skin of Color (Regan, 2004). "Do it at least once a day -- twice a day if your skin is extra dry." And it's not just arms and legs that need special care during cold months; we've identified the four most important areas needing a little extra attention when the temperature plunges.Face It!
Finding the perfect winter facial moisturizer can be tricky: Too light leaves your skin parched, too heavy can cause breakouts. If your skin is extra dry, it helps to use a moisturizing cleanser, followed by an emollient or oil-based cream. Those with oilier complexions should look for oil-free formulas, which are still designed to hydrate the skin without clogging poresOur Picks
- Purpose Bar Soap, $3.49. Especially good for very sensitive or dry skin, this classic product is beloved by dermatologists for its non-drying and non-irritating properties.
- Comfort Zone Hydramemory Fluid 24h, $54. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, this product promises to keep your skin quenched for 24 hours. Plus, it's ideal for all complexions.
Licking your lips isn't an effective moisturizing technique! Because they retain less moisture than other parts of your body, lips dry out more easily, making them particularly sensitive to the elements. Be faithful about using lip balm and make sure than in addition to moisturizing ingredients, it also contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E or green tea extract, to protect even more against the wind and cold.Our Picks
- Eau Thermale Avene Lip Balm with Cold Cream, $9. This stick contains paraffin, beeswax, and vitamin E to seal in moisture and nourish even the most chapped lips.
- Jason Lips Bee Better, $2.75. Packaged in a cute tin, this creamy balm is full of green tea extract, plus shea butter and macadamia nut oil for mega-softness.

- Old Hickory Overrated Overpricedtourist301Dined on 8/30/2014We went knowing this was an expensive steak restaurant. The food quality was less than a Ruth Chris or Mortons with higher prices. From the Cowboy Ribeye I had to cut about 1/3 out as fat. Steak sauce was an extra $5. Service was inattentive and perhaps inexperienced. The french fries were ordinary. The martinis were watery and tasteless.Special Features:
- Steak for twoOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Seated the minute we walked in--had a reservation and since it was early, the restaurant was not crowded. The server was quite cordial and pointed out several items on the menu and their new cheese cart. We asked to split the 20oz Ribeye and Marc did this with style right at the table. Food was perfect and ambience just right for our date night. Would definitely go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Worth ItRandyVIPDined on 8/26/2014My worst "high end restaurant" experience ever! Almost every dish was not prepared well. Filet Mignon dry and overcooked / poor quality meat. Terrible timing on delivery of everything. Staff was "tone-deaf" as well--not commenting on 90% of our food not eaten. Capped off by a cup of coffee full of grounds.
- Great PlaceBelloDined on 8/24/2014Great place to celebrate a special occasion. Fantastic views, great service and perfect Steaks!Special Features:
- Long way to go on serviceDogfellaDined on 8/23/2014The server clearly had no idea what he was doing and certainly not up to the standard of any high end steak house. Beautiful space and view though.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014All three steaks ordered by our party were outstanding and done to perfection as per each persons request. Lamb chops were tender, succulent and absolutely delicious..no mint jelly needed to calm gaminess in these lamb chops!!! Fromage (cheese) sommelier was also a great experience. We tried four different cheeses - they were plated beautifully, with tasty tidbits added to enhance flavors. Wines - we are pinot noir fans - were outstanding and the waiter had great suggestions. The mark - ups on the wine were reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. Great wine list with many options. We had a table overlooking national harbor and it was beautiful. We will return!!!Special Features:
- Distinguished RestaurantDonaldDined on 8/18/2014Very classy restaurant, with excellent food, exceptional service and a great panoramic view of the Potomac River.Special Features:
- Another memorable evening!FoodandWineLoverDined on 8/16/2014We've dined here several times in small intimate groups and as a large, happy group. Each visit has enjoyed superlative service and very good meals. We've never been disappointed. The steaks are excellent and so is the salmon! The cheese selection before dinner is something I look forward to every time we come. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PattiLuvgoodeatsDined on 8/16/2014Beautiful setting, outstanding service, and the view of the sunset, the river, bridge and of course, The Wheel, was just fabulous. Oh, and the food is expensive, but delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Although the food was good, it was very salty and we noticed a lot of butter was used. My biggest complain would be the prices, I don't think they matched the quality of the food.Special Features:
- great evening...ksviaflDined on 8/12/2014A wonderful dining experience. The food and service was fantastic. It was our one year anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a nicer evening. The service was fantastic and the food was really superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous DinnerACookDined on 8/10/2014The dinner was fabulous. We started with the seafood appetizer which was very unique. We enjoyed the wedge salad and the Rib Eye Steak was cooked to perfection! We sampled three desserts ~ all delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREATTashaDined on 8/10/2014My steak was perfect, the view was amazing and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Dinner after Cirque Du SoleilStephenDined on 8/9/2014Reserved for a party of three after the afternoon matinee of Cirque Du Soleil and was impressed by the ambience, service and the outstanding food we were treated to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, good serviceEt183394Dined on 8/8/2014First off food was very good. Had the mussels for an appetizer, one salmon dish and two filets. Steaks very good, crab cakes excellent, salmon salad also very good. Second trip here and we come back for the steaks. A little disappointed there was no preference on seating given we noted this was an anniversary dinner on the reservation. Did not have one of the primary wines, might be nice to note that when you sit down. Got it they can't account for the total list, but could cover their staples. Service started off slow, but finished fine. Not impressed with the dessert options. Pricey, but the steaks are worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meal was disappointingMikeDined on 8/8/2014The restaurant is very nice and the service was great, but we were disappointed in the food. I tried the Wagyu Steak, and when it costs $60 you don't expect it to be chewy. The seasoning was good but it had the consistency of a leftover steak that had been microwaved. The rest of the meal was just ok, but not worth the price. We won't be going back.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/5/2014Great food. Loved the cheese plate and the filet. Probably the best lobster we've ever had.Special Features:
- Superb Dining ExperienceclassydinerDined on 8/5/2014As always, the service and food are excellent. This is one of the few restaurants that the food taste just like how the presentation of food. Excellent, tasty and properly portioned. Booking through on OpenTable made making a reservation for the special occasion so easy.Special Features:
- Outstanding ServiceHickoryDined on 8/2/2014When I made the reservation, I typed in that it was my anniversary. Never sure if they read the notes. The staff at Old Hickory not only took the time to read that it was a special occasion dinner, the passed the word from receptionist to wait staff. We were treated very well and the food was outstanding. A memorable anniversary dinner!Special Features:
- Excellent!elcuc0Dined on 8/2/2014The food was delicious, the steak and crab meat topping were delicious and we loved the cheese assortment. You can't go wrong with this place. We can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HungryDined on 8/2/2014I suppose if you are going there for the steak and have a lot of money, than it is probably good. But the steaks were not certified organic so I opted for fish as well as my mother who is not big on steaks. It was somewhat less expensive for the fish, but the small portion which does not include a side dish (that is extra) and the not so tasty fish itself, it was not worth the over $100 spent for two people. But again, if you like steaks and are okay with non organic steak, and have a lot of money, I suppose it can be good. On a side note, the service was up to par of any standard restaurant and the ambience was nice.
- Nice but doesn't equal it's pricingjfk11Dined on 8/2/2014We thought the service and view were wonderful. Upon arrival the restaurant was totally unprepared for it's opening. The seating hostesses were in slow motion and late to open. The food was tasty and the filet was well prepared although over spiced. But for the prices charged, I would have expected the experience to have been more remarkable. My lobster bisque at $18 should have been more extraordinary and it wasn't. The filet was almost $40 and was only 8 oz. The plate arrived with absolutely nothing else on it. For that price again it should have been more remarkable. The sides (priced separately) were skimpy in portion size. I do not ever mind paying a good bit for a dinner but if I do, I expect it to be worth the premium.Special Features:
- Hit and miss...kurtandviv1Dined on 8/1/2014We had such an outstanding meal on Friday we decided to return on Saturday. The lamb chops were amazing! Friday was a party of 8 and things could not have gone better. Saturday we were only 4. It was disappointing that the chicken for one person oozed blood; the salmon for another was totally raw except for searing. We were given a slight discount. But the cooking time on the re-dos after the lengthy wait for the meal in the first place and the amount of discount would make me reluctant to return. And both nights, the wine we wanted was not available. The first night we got a slightly more expensive wine for the price of the one we tried to order. Saturday the wine price ($91) was only adjusted by $30+ but none for the undercooked food. :(Special Features:
- We'll be back!5yearfoodiesDined on 8/1/2014What a romantic way to spend our 5th wedding anniversary! Although this restaurant is very expensive, it is worth every penny. We were able to sit by the window with the most beautiful harbor views. The food was unbelievable- my husband said it was the best steak he has ever eaten in his life! I had a delicious salad that really was worth every penny! One thing- please do not order the french fries! They are $8.00 and they were terrible. It was silly on our part to order them but we wanted to enjoy some carbs on our vacation! :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great choice for any occasion!Moni2dcDined on 7/30/2014The ambience was phenomenal and the food was fabulous! A must do while in DCSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful birthday experience!birthdayladyDined on 7/26/2014The food, ambiance, and service were all superb. I can assure you that I shall make a return visit.Special Features:
- First DateFullDined on 7/19/2014This place was absolutely amazing! Our server Andrew was fantastic, the table we had with a water view, was awesome. Then to top it off fireworks right before our eyes! This was our first date and we said right then,this will be our place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible service!!!SusieDined on 7/17/2014The most horrible experience!!! Mark from Alexandria took care of our table of 8- they charged us for 3 chocolate desserts which we had not ordered- we assumed it was a gesture because it was my daughters birthday. Then he brought out a second chocolate slice for another friend! When we asked about it his reply was " are we really doing this". We were dining with a CEO of a over 200million corporation and we host many many events and dinners some at this very place but not coming back after that experience. They over charged for the fish and the cigars were very dry!!!!Special Features:
- Excellent!BethinscDined on 7/13/2014Great Filet with lump crabmeat! Loved the cheese wagon! Thanks, Happy, for the great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Dining at a Reasonable PriveOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/13/2014Outstanding menu selection and food. Our steak meals were delicious and prepared just the way we liked it--which does not often happen even in high-end restaurant. Our server was extremely helpful in terms of entree and wine selection. Nice ambiance and excellent view.Special Features:

- Pricey, but AmazingMarylandFoodieDined on 6/21/2014Went there for our 13 year anniversary. The bill was almost $300 for two, but well worth it for a special occasion. Our staff was accomodating and knowledgable. Friendly, but certainly not intrusive. Make sure you request a water view. Other review sites, even list the table numbers to be exact, but you'll be fine with just requesting a water view. Food was AMAZING. Crabcake and cheese plate appetizer. Kobe Steak and PorterHouse Steak. Divine. Can't talk about the food enough. The only thing I found odd was they served cold bread.Special Features:

- WonderfulLSUBorkDined on 6/14/2014The food was terrific! First class service, awesome cheeses and wine. The entrees were delicious. My only complaint has nothing to do with the restaurant itself.....there was a wedding below the restaurant, so you could hear and feel a little of the music below. That was only slightly annoying. But everything about the place itself was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

So with my new typewriter I have been experimenting with just putting a piece of paper in and writing a poem as fast as I can. The nature of the medium is that I cannot correct anything, go back and change lines or alter what my original thought was, mistakes and all. I love it. Here is my first.

Westbrook Seminary: Educating Women
Westbrook Seminary, built on Stevens Plain in 1831, was founded to educate young men and young women. Seminaries traditionally were a form of advanced secondary education. Westbrook Seminary served an important function in admitting women students, for whom education was less available in the early and mid nineteenth century.
Women at the turn of the 20th century were increasingly involved in paid work outside the home. For wage-earning women in the Old Port section of Portland, the jobs ranged from canning fish and vegetables to setting type. A study done in 1907 found many women did not earn living wages.
Young men and women in the 19th century often went away from home -- sometimes for a few months, sometimes for longer periods -- to attend academies, seminaries, or schools run by individuals. While there, they wrote letters home, reporting on boarding arrangements and coursework undertaken, and inquired about the family at home.

Desegregation - Introduction
On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court declared segregated schools contrary to the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution and thus, unconstitutional. Virginia, along with other southern states, mobilized for action against what they perceived as a violation of states' rights guaranteed to them in the United States Constitution. To offset the court's decision Virginia's General Assembly embarked on a program of "Massive Resistance." Massive Resistance, a term coined by Harry F. Byrd, Sr., the leader of Virginia's Democratic Organization and a leader among southern Congressmen and Senators, was a series of legislative enactments designed to "defend" Virginia's public school system from integration. The major provision decreed that integrated schools would not be entitled to or receive any funds from the State Treasury to operate. In 1958, Federal District Courts in Virginia ordered schools in Arlington, Charlottesville, Norfolk, and Warren County to desegregate. To circumvent the courts' orders and prevent integration, Governor J. Lindsay Almond, Jr. of Virginia, on September 8, 1958, closed the schools in Warren County. Meanwhile, in the hopes of finding a solution, Charlottesville and Norfolk postponed the opening of their schools. But, on September 19, Almond closed two schools in Charlottesville, and on September 27, he closed another six schools in Norfolk. The localities of Warren County and Charlottesville, given the size of their school system, were able to provide adequate schooling, either private or otherwise, during the crisis. In Norfolk, however, the citizens were not prepared for the displacement of 10,000 students.
The collections that follow document school desegregation of Virginia and elsewhere in the country, starting with the Massive Resistance crisis, continuing into the busing lawsuits of the late 1980s. These collections are rich in material, covering the activities of the Norfolk School administration and Board, the Norfolk Committee on Public Schools, an attorney representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuits initiated to reopen the schools, and an expert witness on the 1971 busing plan.
This guide describes the collections relating to the school desegregation crisis housed in the Special Collections and University Archives of Old Dominion University Libraries. The collections concern the events of the school closings in Norfolk and Prince Edward County, but also contain information on Virginia's reaction to the Supreme Court's decision as a whole. Included in these collections are correspondence, reports, legal papers, petitions, press releases, financial records, publications, newspapers, newspaper clippings, and photographs. Material of note includes an artificial collection of scrapbooks and newspaper clippings tracing the history of the desegregation crisis in Norfolk.
Highlights of these materials are now available in our digital collection, School Desegregation in Norfolk, Virginia.
The entries are arranged alphabetically, including the collection number, the inclusive dates of the collection and the collection's size. Links to existing finding aids are included.

Some of the clippings discuss the fate of those students whose graduation was put in jeopardy by the school closing, known as "The Lost Class of '59."

Among the most important historical materials is correspondence between Governor Lindsay Almond and the School Administration, beginning with the letter ordering the closing of six Norfolk schools in as mandated by the "Massive Resistance" law.

Southend nurses' fitness challenge: Group taking on 12-mile obstacle course for hospital's children's ward
8:30am Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Christine Sexton
PAEDIATRIC nurses from Southend Hospital are taking on a tough 12-mile obstacle course to help parents of sick children.
The group is limbering up for the Tough Mudder Challenge on April 26.
The course, designed by the British Special Forces, includes ice pools, rope climbs, smoke tunnels and electric shock therapy.
The nurses are putting themselves through possibly the hardest ever assault course to raise funds to buy collapsible beds for parents of children on Neptune ward.
With space at a premium on the high-dependency unit, these beds fold down from chairs and will allow parents to stay with their sick children 24-7 without compromising the day-to-day operations of the ward.
Rebecca Simmonds, a sister on Neptune ward, who suggested the challenge to her colleagues, said: "This is much-needed equipment that will improve care and make the parents feel more comfortable.
"We're doing a lot of training, running up to five miles in the woods. It can be tricky after a long shift, especially when it's cold and raining.
"We're planning to give ourselves a treat when we reach the ten-mile mark."
Kayley Harvey, community fundraising manager added: "It's wonderful to see our nurses going the extra mile to make the stay on Neptune Ward a little more comfortable for the parents.
"Our staff are a true inspiration and we wish them the best of luck with the very tough challenge ahead."
To make a donation, contact the fundraising team on 01702 385 337 or donate on-line via www.justgiving.com/Neptune-Group.

It is a scandal that our over worked NHS staff have to do this in order to raise money for vital equipment. The NHS is a shadow of what it was even two years ago and is being squeezed until there is nothing left of it. However nothing will change until we get rid of this government and vote in MPs who will save the NHS. My best wishes to the incredible staff who as ever, are going beyond the call of duty for their patients.

Shelley's done it all during her time at ABC-13. But there are a few assignments that stick out the most in her memory. While a reporter in Danville, Shelley spent several months on her "Restaurant Report" series, where she investigated cleanliness at area dining rooms. Since she loves politics, Shelley enjoyed heading to Richmond to cover Governor Bob McDonnell as he was elected into office. But one of her favorite moments was in 2009 when she swam with sharks in Atlanta as part of ABC-13's Virginia Tech/Alabama pre-game special.
When Shelley's not in the newsroom, you may see her out in the community giving back. She's been a "Big Sister" for Big Brothers, Big Sisters since 2009. Her "little" - now a teenager - is her favorite movie and shopping buddy. Shelley also serves on the Board of Directors of the Junior League of Lynchburg, a community-service organization with a mission to raise money for area non-profits.
Shelley fell into the world of broadcast news at UNC-Chapel Hill. There, she anchored and reported for UNC's live news broadcast, Carolina Week. During college, she also worked as a news intern in Durham, North Carolina. She assisted the station's "Troubleshooter" by investigating consumer cases and going on undercover assignments.
Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, Shelley spent her childhood and teen years competitively dancing. She still cheers for the Tar Heels - especially in basketball - and enjoys making regular trips home to see her family and baby nephew.
