Halton MP vows to reduce benefit delays facing cancer patients
Updated 11:35am Thursday 19th June 2014 in News By Barbara Jordan, Chief Reporter
THOUSANDS of cancer patients wait for six months or more for disability benefits, new research has revealed.
Halton MP Derek Twigg today pledged to support Macmillan Cancer Support secure quicker financial settlements for cancer victims.
He attended the launch of the charity's new research report, Waiting to Benefit, into disability benefit personal independence payment (PIP) at the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Twigg said: "This is a matter that I have raised in Parliament and I was not surprised to hear about these results which mean that many cancer patients are finding that their finances are an additional burden when they are so concerned about their health.
"A number of constituents have contacted me because they have been facing delays and it is vitally important that they receive their money at a time when they need it most.
"The PIP assessment process should take no more than 11 weeks and I would like to know what the Government is doing to reduce the delays and how long it will take to get the processing times down, so that my constituents receive their benefits in a timely manner.
"It is vitally important that the DWP is transparent in this matter so that people affected by cancer and other disabilities know what to expect when they make a claim for benefit."
Under the previous system the average time taken to receive a decision about Disability Living Allowance took 11 weeks.
Now the process is taking far longer with cancer patients waiting an average of 19 weeks without receiving any decision.
The research reveals that a quarter of those who have started their claim wait at least six months for the initial assessment. These delays are in addition to a three-month wait cancer patients face before they are eligible to apply for PIP.
Nearly half of all cancer patients surveyed were dissatisfied with the overall process.
A third said this was because of the lengthy delays and almost a quarter blamed poor communication from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
Some cancer patients found the PIP claims process and interaction with DWP so difficult, upsetting or time consuming that 2 per c ent stopped their claims entirely.
For financial support, cancer patients are encouraged to visit macmillan.org.uk/financialsupport to find your nearest benefits adviser or call free on 0808 808 00 00.

A Little Racey-Poo
Posted May 13 2013 11:32am
Saturday I did the second race in the
LA Tri Series
at Bonelli Park. I started doing these races in 2009, and have continued to make the drive up the 57 freeway whenever one of the races fits into my schedule. This year will be the first time I think I can get in all three races in the series, woo hoo!
I've said it before and will say it again, I love this series and I never get sick of the venue. They're tough little courses and there's always some fast folks who show up to make for some fun racing.
In the first race last month,
a sprint, I later found out the female winner is a San Diego stud triathlete, Katie Araujo, who's raced Kona and all that jazz. That first race also featured Macca, of course, who won but definitely had competition in Eric Nau who was only about 30 seconds back of the Aussie.
Loving our new kits! Thanks Betty Designs, Hincape and all my sponsors! We got lots of compliments.
Trying to do all I could
to feel OK for this race.
Race #2 in the series is an odd distance, something between a sprint and Oly, A ~1k swim, ~16.5-mile bike and ~5-mile run. For the bike/run I am going by my Garmin for the official distance, as it seems a little inconsistent on the results page, etc. That, however, is one of the things I love about the series at Bonelli: just go out and race hard and don't get too wrapped up in distances down to the 1/10th of a mile; it ain't Kona.
So my race? I'll be honest, I actually wasn't feeling too hot going into this race (IM training will do that I guess), but I was committed and am not one to bail unless I'm hugging the porcelain princess or something. We got to the race early, and found out I had a registration issue -- I wasn't registered. Oops! For a second I thought that was my perfect out, but I said screw that attitude dude, and I registered (thanks to Carolyn and the fine race organizers who made sure things were taken care of efficiently), toed the line, and got excited as I felt that first surge of race adrenaline...
My home lanes. Great spot to swim, but I prefer open water any day.
My swimming was hit and miss last week until a great ocean swim on Thursday with my crew. I love OWS so much more than pool swimming. Onto race day, and I just went steady and strong, and I paced by PE, making sure it hurt. A 1k is short enough where you need to swim hard but it's long enough where a swimmer like me can easily blow up. Thankfully I came up out of the water in ~17:30, and the course was true to 1k (even on my Garmin), so that put me at a ~1:37/100 yd pace. I can take that! It helped that the course was well-marked with adequate buoys, so I made it around without issue. However, I did get dunked big time as girls pulled themselves over me, so it was far from a smooth swim and a blow to the ego haha. Not to mention, I still never found those feet for drafting, either. Poo.
All good except for a soaring HR and a timing chip that was literally hanging on by a thread and needed to be secured down with a safety pin.
Note to self: do a better job with the safety pin before the race and don't be lazy with that!
The bike course overall is no joke, and super fun for that reason. For 16.5 miles it was ~1,700ft elevation gain with nasty little climbs, longer gradual climbs, killer downhills (where it's easy to get to 40+ mph), technical turns, headwinds, etc. It's the kind of course that keeps you honest and will make you a better cyclist in racing.
It was two loops, but my bike legs only showed up on the second loop. A little too late. Crap. I still had a decent bike in comparison with the rest of the field, and, in fact, I had the second fastest female bike of the day only a hair behind the fastest girl. And the fastest girl and I pretty much started the bike together, and continued to trade spots throughout the whole ride, always within range of one another. She was a good carrot. I avg'd about 20.5 mph and put out some good watts overall, but I know I could have done better knowing me and how I can ride. Not to mention, by this point my HR was so jacked up and I could tell something was not normal in my body. But whatever, the race was relatively short. I could hang.
Made up for lost time with a :52 transition.
Spoiler on the run: I got the fastest run split of the day, which is a first for me and something I am very proud to have earned. The run was my last chance to go big and prove to myself I could execute even if it wasn't "my day" so to speak. Even with the other girls out of the picture, it was a really good run for me and I was surprised to see the speed when speed is not something I've been doing in training lately.
And let's be honest, another reason I ran as hard as I did is because it turned into a race to move up the ranks, which was fun. My HR was still higher than I ever see even in a sprint, so I had to just suck it up and still hammer.
I was out of T2 before the aforementioned chick who I saw throughout the ride, but very soon she caught me on the run and passed, opening a gap of about 25 yd, and I refused to let that gap grow. By mile 3ish I caught her for good and we were told by some dudes that we were sitting 4th and 5th. At that point I could see 3rd-place chick ahead, and she was within catching distance, so that became my new carrot. It also meant digging deep to a 6-something mile pace, which, again, is kinda foreign in my overall training right now so it didn't feel good.
Meanwhile, the run course was hot and hilly, just like the bike. It was seriously getting close to 90 degrees at this point. I was carrying a bottle of Skratch. Don't leave home without it. The course starts on trail and then you get some asphalt, sidewalk, more trail, etc. Rarely is it ever just flat though.
Anyway, I finally passed my new friend who I'd been with pretty much from the beginning of the race and I couldn't let up or she'd catch me for sure. I was totally blowing up but closing the gap on 3rd place, and a couple spectators noticed my efforts, shouting some encouraging words to "catch her"... she was within reach but time was running out and we were getting close to the finish...
then less than a 1/4 mile...
I was giving it every ounce I had and I'm sure I was at my MAX HR. Annnnd it wasn't quite enough. I finished just
3 dang seconds
behind 3rd place! But all good. I know the 3rd place girl, and she's beat me before. Plus, it turns out I was less than a minute behind the 1st & 2nd place women.
The result of sucking it up and digging deep when the body would
rather sleep in. The mind is a powerful thing.
I negative split the run like crazy and at the finish my HR was SO high that I literally couldn't even stop moving... so I kept walking/jogging for a while to chill out. John tried to catch up with me, stop and chat but I waved him off as I went to do my thing alone. That never happens haha.
Lucky for me I got 1st AG, and 4th overall in a time that I can be proud of given the poopy feeling I had going into this race. The top 5 women all finished within a minute of one another, so it was definitely a close one.
And even better was that John had a freakin awesome race! He finished 4th in his AG (35-39), not an easy AG at all. And it was definitely a breakthorugh race for him. And check out how we finished in the overall standings....
I went home and took a nap.

In New Orleans, this week brings the second weekend of the 2014 Jazz Fest. In the rest of the world, however, it marks the start of the summer movie season.
As has become tradition, the next few months will bring a string of big-budget blockbuster hopefuls, starting with superhero sequel "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" on Friday (May 2), and continuing through to "Transformers: Age of Extinction" (June 27), the New Orleans-shot "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" (July 11) and beyond.
So what 2014 summer movie are you most looking forward to seeing? Cast your vote in our reader's poll below. The eventual winner will show up as a "People's Choice" best bet in my annual Summer Movie Preview, scheduled to land next week (once the last of the crawfish bread has been eaten, that is).
As always, write-in candidates are welcome in the comments section at the bottom of this page, as are any thoughts on the relative strength or weakness of this year's offerings.

This date is symbolic of the point during the current year when the average Ontario woman earns the same wage that an average man earned by the end of the previous year.
Sadly this gender gap has widened this past year. It has increased from 28 per cent to 31 per cent. The gap widens even further for women marginalized by race or disabilities.
Over a lifetime of employment, this means that a woman would have to continue working to age 80 when her male counterpart can retire at age 65.
Every household where a female worker is paid less than her male counterpart suffers needless economic hardship.
The Equal Pay Coalition holds Equal Pay Days to create awareness for the need to close the Gender Wage Gap and bring about the needed changes to our pay equity laws.
Let's you and I start the conversation about this inequity. Women should not be suffering from this form of discrimination. This should not be acceptable to anyone and should not be perpetuated by any employer — private and public sectors alike.
Pay equity is a human right and an economic right. BPW Sudbury encourages you to engage in discussion about this issue. Ask your MP and MPP what steps are being taken to eliminate this gap and create a fair and balanced system for all.
To learn more about Equal Pay Day and to sign the declaration, please visit equalpaycoalition.org and lend your voice to help bring about positive change.

Tonight on Fusion launched last month by partners Univsion and ABC News, host Alicia Melendez interviews Shane Bitney Crone, the producer and subject of the documentary Bridegroom. The documentary shares the pain and promise of a love story between Shane and his late partner, Tom and the impact of anti-LGBT discrimination on Shane's ability to grieve for his loss after Tom dies accidentally. Melendez hosts a daily show at 7ET/4PT. Fusion has aired spots on Univision in English advertising to English-speaking young Latinos that watch programs alongside their Spanish-speaking family members. The channel is not just geared to Latinos but to the illusive millennials that drive current media trends. It will be interesting to see how the new channel covers the expansion of rights to undocumented immigrants, LGBT workers and LGBT families as the fights for comprehensive immigration reform, ENDA (the employment anti-discrimination act) and inclusive marriage laws are organized throughout this fall legislative season.

I was once naive… Act like lady, think like a man.
I dont want to think like a man. Why can't I think like a woman? Why so negative on being a woman?
Act like a lady, think for yourself. Have confidence and set high standards.

The Swan-Canning River is the estuary adjacent to Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and its seaport, Fremantle at the mouth. The Swan is famous for its iconic black swans and has dolphins that regularly swim up to the foreshore of the central business district of Perth. It supports seagrasses (black swan food), prawns and fish, but has some severe water quality problems. For example, the dissolved oxygen levels are so chronically and severely depleted in bottom waters that the Western Australia Department of Water has two permanent oxygen plants that are used to inject oxygen into bottom waters. There are other symptoms of water quality problems such as declining fisheries, fish kills, harmful algal blooms, beach closures, fish contamination and dolphin deaths. There are two governmental entities that are tasked with managing the Swan-Canning River; Western Australia Department of Water and the Swan River Trust.
Kate Moore, a Brisbane-based Science Communicator and I came over to Perth to work with Malcolm Robb's Dept. of Water staff and Rod Hughes' Swan River Trust staff on an environmental report card for the Swan-Canning River. Kate worked with Malcolm's staff to develop a layout format for a trifold pamphlet for the report card before I arrived. We then scoped out data availability, discussed reporting considerations and developed a strategy for data analysis. We established the scale of the report card, with five reporting regions (Upper, Middle and Lower Swan Estuary and Upper and Lower Canning Estuary) that extended to the limit of marine and navigable reaches. We also established a temporal reporting period to extend between June 1 until the subsequent May 31. The choice of this period was to avoid splitting the summer or rainy winter periods or the autumn algal bloom period.
Once we had settled on spatial and temporal scales, and a suite of water quality parameters to be used as indicators, we developed thresholds and calculated report card scores. We then storyboarded a layout for the report card pamphlet and Kate worked with the Dept. of Water staff, particularly Catherine Thomson, Dr. Vanessa Forbes and Naomi Hellriegel to obtain images, maps and data for the report card pamphlet. Dr. Kieryn Kilminster led the development of conceptual diagrams of the Swan-Canning estuary. We assembled an initial draft of the report card and worked through revisions with Swan River Trust staff, particularly Dr. Kerry Trayler.
The timing of the report card creation was to coincide with the annual National Estuaries Network meeting, hosted by Malcolm Robb. I had hosted the original NEN meeting in the Brisbane region, as an outcome of the Land and Water Natural Resources Audit on Australian estuaries. Lynda Radke from Geosciences Australia, the group that have developed the fantastic Ozcoasts website (originally Ozestuaries), in which maps, conceptual diagrams and the available monitoring information for the one thousand plus estuaries around Australia is readily available.
We discussed the exciting possibility of having a report card on thesocial and economic aspects of the Swan-Canning estuary. This effort is being led by Roxane Shadbolt, Swan River Trust, and Dr. May Carter, Edith Cowan University. The term 'dueling report cards' came up, but I could see that an ecosystem health report with a social and economic report card could be quite complementary. Just as musical piece "Dueling Banjos" starts off separately, with the guitar playing "Do, do, do, do, do, do, doooo", and the banjo playing "Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, baaaaa", followed by short "Do, do, do, do, do" and "Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba", soon they are playing together with a pulse-quickening, toe-tapping intertwined musical duet. Being able to connect people with the Swan-Canning by assessing the ecosystem health and developing measures of community engagement would be creating an assessment of the health of the entire community. This duet of reporting would create a new standard of integrated environmental reporting.

↵⇥Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a rabid fox ran a mile with the animal's jaws clamped on her arm and then drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff's office said the woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot. ↵⇥↵Now this is why I stick to running in the comfort of my own basement, on the treadmill. Watching DVR'ed episodes of The Office while working out is much more interesting than stupid nature. Plus, the only danger involved is not hearing my mom yell down that my dinner is getting cold. See what I did there? Because I'm a blogger. Which means I live in my parents' basement. ↵
↵⇥She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit her arm. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital. ↵⇥↵

Kenya hospital imprisons new mothers with no moneyBy JASON STRAZIUSO
The Associated Press | December 28,2012NAIROBI, Kenya The director of the Pumwani Maternity Hospital, located in a hardscrabble neighborhood of downtown Nairobi, freely acknowledges what hes accused of: detaining mothers who cant pay their bills. Lazarus Omondi says its the only way he can keep his medical center running.
Two mothers who live in a mud-wall and tin-roof slum a short walk from the maternity hospital, which is affiliated with the Nairobi City Council, told The Associated Press that Pumwani wouldnt let them leave after delivering their babies. The bills the mothers couldnt afford were $60 and $160. Guards would beat mothers with sticks who tried to leave without paying, one of the women said.
Now, a New York-based group has filed a lawsuit on the womens behalf in hopes of forcing Pumwani to stop the practice, a practice Omondi is candid about.
We hold you and squeeze you until we get what we can get. We must be self-sufficient, Omondi said in an interview in his hospital office. The hospital must get money to pay electricity, to pay water. We must pay our doctors and our workers.
They stay there until they pay. They must pay, he said of the 350 mothers who give birth each week on average. If you dont pay the hospital will collapse.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, which filed the suit this month in the High Court of Kenya, says detaining women for not paying is illegal. Pumwani is associated with the Nairobi City Council, one reason it might be able to get away with such practices, and the patients are among Nairobis poorest with hardly anyone to stand up for them.
Maimouna Awuor was an impoverished mother of four when she was to give birth to her fifth in October 2010. Like many who live in Nairobis slums, Awuor performs odd jobs in the hopes of earning enough money to feed her kids that day. Awuor, who is named in the lawsuit, says she had saved $12 and hoped to go to a lower-cost clinic but was turned away and sent to Pumwani. After giving birth, she couldnt pay the $60 bill, and was held with what she believes was about 60 other women and their infants.
We were sleeping three to a bed, sometimes four, she said. They abuse you, they call you names, she said of the hospital staff.MORE IN Wire NewsAUSTIN, Texas In the week since he was indicted for abuse of power and public coercion, Texas Gov.

I'm not sure how to insert a tweet in here but John Parkinson of ABC news tweeted that he met with Marc Lasry who said he wanted Jabari Parker if the Bucks won the lottery.
I'm curious what the community makes of this? And also if he will act on his feelings or leave it up to the GM?
It was also pointed out by a member of Bucksketball that it seems ridiculous for an Owner to announce his intentions, but they countered with the point that this might indicate that while Jabari is his preference he plans on leaving it up to the General Manager.

DS Detective Series Coming Stateside via Aksys (Updated with Screenshots)Cementing its position as one the top niche publishers on the DS, Aksys Games announced it will be bringing a long-running detective adventure series to North America next spring, in addition to previously-announced DS effort Super Dodgeball Brawlers.
Titled Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles and developed by Arc System Works, the game includes three different murder mysteries to investigate and solve. Similar to Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series and Cing's Hotel Dusk, both on DS, it is billed as an "interactive digital novel" centered around branching dialog and puzzle solving. Aksys released Japanese-language screenshots today, and promise Jake Hunter will retail at an affordable $19.99 price point.
"Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles is the latest in a growing genre of games that places its focus on fantastic storytelling and character development," noted Aksys project lead Bo deWindt. "It's a great diversion for gamers seeking to test their powers of deduction and reasoning as opposed to their trigger fingers."
Known in Japan as Tantei Jinguji Saburo, the Data East-created series has appeared on numerous platforms, including the NES, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PSP, and Saturn, but has never before been localized into English.

The White House has claimed reports that the Goldstone report would be blocked by the US from going to the International Criminal Court, were a mistake.
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said an anonymous official "misspoke" when he told Jewish organisations that the US would not allow the report's recommendations to go beyond the Human Rights Council.
Mr Vietor said the US policy towards the Goldstone report remained the same as was given in the statement by Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN.
British, American and French diplomats led a walkout at the United Nations general assembly during a virulently anti-Jewish and anti-Israel speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Mr Ahmadinejad infuriated many delegates with claims of a 'Jewish conspiracy'.
The Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni, tipped to become head of Unesco, has been beaten to the post by former Bulgarian Foreign Minister Irina Bokova.
It took a committee five rounds of votes to decide that the new Director General of Unesco, the United Nations' cultural arm, would be Ms Bokova.
Mr Hosni, who would have been the first Arab to hold the position, has been an outspoken critic of Israel and his campaign was dogged with allegations of antisemitism.
President Barack Obama has told Israeli and Palestinian leaders that they must show the will to "break the deadlock that has trapped generations".
Mr Obama met Israeli Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas separately in New York, before chairing a trilateral meeting.
The meeting was denounced by many politicians and commentators as nothing more than a photo opportunity, given that talks between US Special Envoy George Mitchell with Mr Netanyahu and Mr Abbas last week in Jerusalem and Ramallah failed to bring agreement.
Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister has said it would not rule out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, despite alleged assurances to the contrary to Russia.
Danny Ayalon said: "I don't think that, with all due respect, the Russian President [Dmitry Medvedev] is authorised to speak for Israel and certainly we have not taken any option off the table."
Echoing Mr Ayalon's sentiments, IDF chief Lt Gen Gabi Ashkenazi stressed that Israel had "the right to defend itself and all options are on the table".
The singer, 75, collapsed during a rendition of Bird on the Wire at a concert in Valencia and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
He spent the night at the Hospital 9 de October but left hospital to continue his tour to Barcelona.
Mr Cohen is scheduled play a concert in Tel Aviv later this week, and his Israeli promoter has confirmed the show will go ahead.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are set to meet US President Barack Obama separately in New York this week, with a trilateral meeting likely.
Mr Obama is expected to meet Mr Netanyahu and Mr Abbas individually before chairing a joint session.
If the meeting goes ahead, the three leaders are likely to meet at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York, where Mr Obama is staying for the meeting of the UN general assembly.
Israeli commentators denounced the meeting as a "photo opportunity" and said it would be wholly symbolic.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Iranians that the Holocaust is a "lie", and that confronting Israel was an Iranian's "national and religious duty".
Speaking at the anti-Israel Quds Day rally at Tehran University, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "The Holocaust is a pretext for the creation of the Zionist regime and is false. It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim. "
Israel's immigration minister, Sofa Landver, ended a visit to the Ukraine this week without managing to settle the contentious issue of pensions for immigrants to Israel.
Unlike Russians living in Israel, who receive their full pensions from the Russian government, Ukrainian olim do not receive any funds. This includes a large number of men who took part in the cleanup of the Chernobyl nuclear plant after the reactor accident in 1996 and suffer from ill health as a result.
American Jewish organisations are intensifying their calls for the US Congress to enact strict sanctions on Iran, as Tehran continues to make progress on its nuclear programme.
Their activism comes amidst signs that the US might be getting more serious about sanctions. But they might find that the hardest opposition comes from Europeans, whose companies will be hurt by the measures.
Congress proposed sanctions legislation in the spring but did not attempt to enact it in order to give the new US administration time to see if diplomacy could work.

A profound picture of a woman giving her all to someone who has nothing to offer. The transfer of spiritual ENERGY is real! If you are constantly surrounding yourself, interacting or pouring yourself into an empty person; eventually they will suck you completely dry!' Know your self worth! You can not be out there doing things expecting CHANGE. Align yourself with people, places and things that do NOT leave your spirituality, skin and bones. This goes for significant others, friends and even family…

Hello there and welcome to this week's PaperSmooches Sparks challenge. You all know that I've been using my die cuts a ton more lately and I recently purchased the Poinsettia Dies from PaperSmooches. There are also mistletoe dies which I'm sure will get a ton of use. I die cut the poinsettias and leaves and then glossed over them all with Wink of Stella. Love the fabulous shimmer it created. I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Christmas Sampler set. I'd love to take credit for the layout of this card, but it all goes to Maureen; whose fabulous card from here I cased. Love the gorgeous design she followed and of course all the white space.
Highlight card; Don't forget your stamp set links!
Please be sure to stop by the other design team members blogs to check out their fabulous creations.
And of course, we'd love to see you play along. You'll have until Saturday at 11:59 PST to join along. Hop on over to the PaperSmooches Sparks blog to play along with us!

Murky acorn color with no head, just a collar. Smells of cherries and cider. Flavor is bright fruits that quickly swirl into a tartness that is very present but not extreme. Woody notes add depth at the beginning but disappear as it becomes more tart and dry. Thin body and low carbonation makes this seem like a relative of red wine. The finish does not seem very interesting or complex and fails to really inspire another sip. A pleasant beer that could serve others as a decent introduction to the style.
It should be noted that this beer was the first ever to have devastating effects on my digestive system. You have been warned.

Was in the mood for a light sour, so I grabbed this one off an Ohio beer store shelve and poured into my glass...
A: Pours a very clear ruby red with a nice off white head. Look is very nice with ruby, crystal clear hues with plentiful carbonation and a very nice, creamy head.
S: Red wine vinegar up front with some underlying flavors of cherry, and some spice, but vinegar is by far the most prevalent.
T: Light sour grapes with vinegar. Not very good, very light. The grapes are putrid and the vinegar is watered down into the grape taste. Not pleasant.
Overall, this was vinegar galore with some underlying flavors that could not pass the vinegar taste. Not recommended.

11.2oz bottle into snifter.
A: A deep reddish, amber body, pours with a light cream head. Head retreat thin layer, while the lace that is left is a spotty, that is spot on representation.
S: The aroma denotes a sour brew that shows a hint of sweet cherry.
T/M: The front of this beer is a mellow start of subtle cherry, that exceeds to a blast of sour, but not over powering the limit. The finish is a smooth and nice off for the style, a relapse of sour that lingers nicely. The mouthfeel is a nice and smooth sensation that forms a nice silky effect.
D: I find this to be a bit overly drinkable, a bit too smooth and tasty. The alcohol is barely present at all and is a delicious sour brew.

First go with a sour, so here goes nothing...
A- Pours a deep, deep amber hue with a 1 finger head. Head is very bubbly and active. Good lacing and retention.
S- Well, sour it is. Very acidic on the nose. Slight fruit tones. Lemon and lime like scents with the acidity, minus the refreshing citrus part. Slight hints of some malts.
T- Light and fruity, with only hints of the sour flavors that were on the nose. Darker fruits are up front, with some grapes and maybe some tart cherries and raspberries. Very much like a semi-dry champagne.
M- Very carbonated. Drinks easily, but somewhat harsh on the palate. Could drink a few, but your tongue would be worn out.
O- This a a good starter sour. I thought I'd hate this from the smell, but it is pretty good. Easily drinkable and a good gateway into a very expensive style.

Poured a deep brown, with a three finger off white head. Gorgeous, looks fantastic. Sour lactic scent with a slight hint of malt. A good scent of a sour ale, makes me want to take a sip. Taste begins with a nice sour flavor, a sort of sour crab apple flavor and a bit of nice roast malt flavor on the finish and after taste. Quite nice. Very refreshing. Mouthfeel is bubbly and medium bodied, quite good, refreshing and carbonated, yet easy to drink. This is a good, unique beer. I'm not sure how it stacks up for the style, yet I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Worth trying for sure.

Deep ruby colored that looks more brown against strong light. Modest head that leaves only a little lace pattern but still quite cute in the chalice.
The smell is upforwardly fruity; cherries, red grapes, pinor noir. Sourness creeps forth at warmer temperatures with a hint of barnyard funk.
This could just be the wine lover's beer...I am amazed by how incredibly red-wine it is. The sourness of the beer contributes to its drinkability...tart, sour, and just a little sweetness to keep everything in check. A great introduction to the style.

Poured into my HotD taster courtesy of the man, the legend, Libbey
A- pours a red/brown. Ruby tones, if you nomsayin. Also carbonation explosion. Only can get 1oz in this 3oz taster
S- very sweet malts and a touch of acidic bite on the back end
T- mostly sweet, sour bite in the middle before being sweet again on the end.
M- not as prickly as i would have thought, surprisingly smooth for the style
O- good, not great. Probably wouldnt buy again

11.2oz bottle poured into a Pretty Things wine glass. Bottle generously provided as an extra by bs870621345, thanks Bobby!
A - This pours a really nice, deep cherry mahogany color, a great contrast between ruby and wooded brown colors. About a finger's worth of head floats on top of the beer, with fantastic retention, lasting for well over 15 minutes. Lacing is thick and generous.
S - The smell is a bit more mild than other sours I've had, but my most recent have been from Russian River so I'm not sure that's a fair comparison given the style differences and such. Tart cherries, fresh apples, some slight cocoa sweetness, and a lactic, vinegary note fill the aroma. A nice combination of sweet and sour funk going on here.
T - The taste is a tamed down version of the aroma here, unfortunately. While the nose boasts elegant bouquets of fruit and some funk, the taste is instead reduced to a barely tart cherry and raspberry juice quality. Even the vinegar in the nose was a little welcome just to keep things fresh, but in the taste its more acidic.
M - Mouthfeel is light-bodied with good carbonation. Light and spritzy on the palate but the frothy head aids some smoothness as well.
D - Drinkability is moderate. The nose really had me excited for this, but the taste is more narrow in focus. It's a bit simple, if not tasty, but the aroma had so much more opportunity. I would've loved to have this as an introduction to more sour beers, as it is gentle and only slightly tart.

A: Brilliantly red in color with a crisp foamy white head, sticks to the glass like no other - and perfectly clear.
S: Slightly sour, maybe some cherries, defiantly a fruitiness present, but due to a stuffy nose, I can't get a lot out of it.
T: This is tart, I like it a lot! It has a great complexity that I am having trouble identifying. I wish I could do this beer more justice because It really does taste good.
M: It's dry, fully carbonated, and light on the palate.
D: Quite drinkable. It didn't last as long as I thought it would.

Poured out a murky, reddish-brown color with a thin, bubbly head that dissapears quickly. The nose was a strange combination of Belgian candi, yeasty spice, and vinegar. The taste offered cotton candy, lemon and moderately sour cherries with a pineapple finish. Soy sauce. Hate to say it, but I did. The mouthfeel is thin,
somewhat creamy on the tongue. A drinkable brew, but I almost expect this style to be a bit mroe assertive.

A-Pours out a Cola-like reddish/brown with a rapidly dissapearing,3 finger,tawny crown that reduced to a thin ring and left light but clingy lacing.
S-Cherry limeade,hay,yeast rolls,white pepper and Cheerwine(NC,representin').
T-Ferrara Pan Cherryheads,preserved lemon,sourdough and prosecco.
M-Bright and refreshing with lively carbonation and a mild sourness.Good starter sour.
O-Nice and light and probably a beer more suited for warm weather.

A: Poured a redish brown with a foamy head.
S: It smells fruity and there's a decent amount acid/vinegar.
T: It wasn't as deep as I'd hoped. It started off kinda thin, but the cherry was OK, but the vinegarish flavor seemed too prominent for my taste.
M: smooth, not as harsh with the amount a vinegar I picked up on my tongue.
D: I thought it was good, but I think there are some better out there for sure. Duchesse was a little better I think.

3.63/5 rDev -5.5%
A: a cranberry red body with some crimson and amber hues. The glass is filled with activity. A very stringy and foamy blob sat on top, it left a few splashes of lace. I like the deep crested color it brings
S: tangy and sour with some yeast and bread whiffs. Some fruits are noticeable, maybe a cherry or two. It smells relatively fresh for the style, nothing overly yeasty in the nose
T: flavors meld together nicely, there is a slap on the tongue that is reminiscent of tart cherries, cranberries, and a variety of bitter apples baked in a loaf of stale bread. The flavors are sour and tickle the tongue rather well. My palate also gathers an ample dose of acidity that, in some ways, helps keep things clean and from being overly full of pucker power. The last part of the sip finishes just a bit sweet
M: light body with a rather clean and crisp snap due to the carbonation levels. I am adjusting to the flavors after the initial blast of tart. I can safely say, it's and easy drinker for the style
D: good sipper. My acquaintance with sour ales is in the novice phase and I think I started with a pretty good one. Not my favorite style of beer, but it is good to mix things up

UK: No charges for Australian royal hoax DJs
LONDON (AP) - British prosecutors said Friday they will not press charges against two Australian DJs over the royal hoax call that preceded a nurse's suicide.
Two Australian DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Prince Charles, as they phoned London's King Edward VII hospital in December to ask about the condition of the Duchess of Cambridge, formerly Kate Middleton, who had been hospitalized for treatment of acute morning sickness stemming from her pregnancy.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who put the call through to a colleague who in turn described the details of Kate's condition, was found hanged in her room three days after the prank was broadcast across the world.
Prosecutors on Friday said there was no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter, and despite "some evidence" to warrant further investigation of offenses under Britain's Data Protection Act and Malicious Communications Act, any potential prosecution would not be in the public interest.
The Crown Prosecution Service said that decision was taken because it isn't possible to extradite from Australia for those potential offenses, and because "however misguided, the telephone call was intended as a harmless prank."
DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig _apologized after Saldanha's death in emotional interviews on Australian television, saying they never expected their call would be put through.
The radio show behind the call, the "Hot 30" program, was taken off air following Saldanha's death and later canceled.

May 27, 2014 - Products
SuperSprings International has designed a SumoSprings Solo "airless airbag" auxiliary spring for the 2014 Ram ProMaster cargo van.
The one-piece SumoSprings Solo is composed of a proprietary microcellular urethane that fills the gap left by a short factory bump stop, which it replaces.
A pair of the springs improves ride, reduces side-to-side body roll and eliminates sudden bottoming out, said Mike Visser, the company's president. They offer a progressive spring rate that provides full support when needed, while also engaging smoothly.
Owners can install the springs using common tools.
"With SumoSprings, ProMaster users can upgrade the stock rear suspension without having to send the vehicle to a spring shop," he said. "That way, there is no wasted time spent shuttling drivers back and forth, and the installation can be done whenever it is most convenient."
SumoSprings are designed to be a maintenance-free, he said. Unlike traditional airbags, they will never sag or leak and require no compressor lines. SumoSprings are oil-, salt- and UV-resistant, and are durable even in harsh environments.
SumoSprings for the ProMaster come in two densities: one for use with medium loads and one for heavy loads. Contact SuperSprings to help determine which density will work best based on a specific vehicle setup and intended use.
All SumoSprings are manufactured in the U.S.

What's all this Floyd Mayweather reading thing?
50 Cent has been trying to bait Floyd Mayweather into a beef for 2 years now because Floyd cut him off and stopped talking to him. (the reason Floyd cut him off is a whole long ass topic that I won't get into here)
Meanwhile, T.I. started beefing with Floyd because he thought Floyd was fucking Tiny. Then Floyd started beefing with Nelly because Nelly started fucking his ex.
Then 2 days ago, Floyd does an interview and starts talking about "irrelevant rappers" trying to beef with him because he still has a career after 17 years and they don't.
He was most likely talking about T.I and Nelly, because he's literally ignored 50 for almost 2 years now.
But 50 took the opportunity to pounce and started dissing Floyd because he can't read that good (he dropped out of school in 6th grade to focus on boxing, his parents were also on drugs. Prolly not good decision making going on in the house).
So 50 Cent says he'd give $750k to charity if Floyd read 1 page out of Harry Potter without messing up.
Then this morning, the breakfast club released audio of Floyd trying to read 2-sentence promotional drops for the station.

You did it! Keep going!
And keep up the positive self talk.
Running can be a mental challenge!
(you should hear what I have to tell myself during a marathon!! And wow, the negative thoughts do kick in!!)
Sunny Florida
Life IS Good!!
Did my week 1 day 1 challenge yesterday. It went pretty well. It seems when I go to jog I tighten up, there was someone on the treadmill in front of me and I watched her relaxed run and just kept reminding myself to relax and just jog. It was only a minute. It amazes me regularly how much self talk I do.
It strikes me that I probably do a lot of negative self talk, more so than positive. That is probably a totally different challenge that I should enter. :-)
Welcome to the team!
Sunny Florida
Life IS Good!!
I just joined the Team! I signed up for my 1st 5k in Feb. with my new boss....What better motivation?
Hello :) I just joined the team. I will be starting with week 1-day 1 today :) This is going to be awesome!
Way to go!
Sunny Florida
Life IS Good!!
Way to stay motivated!
It's really hard to suck in your back fat.
I actually got in all 3 sessions of week 1 last week! I almost didn't get in a run on Friday but at the end of the day I just put on my shoes and a hoodie, grabbed the things I wanted in my pockets, and left! Yay, me!
Week 2 Day 1 is on a rain delay because I don't have an indoor track. But now I know I can do it!
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! I'll be working on the week 2 intervals this week.
good idea! Rest up and come back when you are healthy!
Sunny Florida
Life IS Good!!
I'm sorry you're having troubles! I've had my share too with being sick, kids sick, son having surgery, plumbing issues, you name it! Take a breather and run again Monday!
It's really hard to suck in your back fat.
Boy, did I pick the wrong week to start! First my son had surgery. Then I had both kids home for a week. Now I have a sinus infection! I will try again when I get my strength back but right now it's taking all I got to stay awake until my daughter is in bed (9 year old with autism... adult supervision required!). If my luck changes, I'll start week 1 again on Monday
You can stay on week1 as long as you need to. There is no time limits.
Sunny Florida
Life IS Good!!
Yes, this is hard!
First, I think you should stay on the current week until you feel ready to move on. I personally did one week for 3 weeks because I didn't feel ready to move up, but I also allowed myself the freedom to go back to the "easier" week if I moved up and it was too hard, but once I allowed myself the freedom to do that, I didn't need it and I kept moving forward.
Second, I haven't done a marathon, but I have run two full miles, about 23 minutes solid, just on Monday. That was HUGE for me! I started running 9/4 and went at my own pace and here is where I am, its been a long time but I've loved it, even the parts that hurt till I wanted to (and sometimes did) scream! Today I wanted to run 25 minutes and increase my distance, but I wasn't feeling it, I only did 1 mile today.
I allowed myself to go at my own pace and you should do.
Keep up the great work!!
It's really hard to suck in your back fat.
I almost made it! On the 3rd and 4th run intervals I was not able to run for the full minute. I have a feeling I won't be ready for week 2 next week. How many weeks can we stay on week 1 until we're ready to move on? As many as necessary? Anyone have an encouraging story about how you were at week 1 for a couple of months and just did a marathon? This is hard!
