File photo dated 24/11/10 of a Greggs shop in Sheffield as the bakery chain revealed a fall in Christmas sales today as last monthÕs severe wet weather saw shoppers stay away from the high street. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Wednesday January 9, 2013. The group said many of its town centre shops were hit by the rain and flooding in December as shoppers chose the shelter of shopping centres or stayed at home and bought online. Newcastle-based Greggs saw like-for-like sales slide 2.9% in the five weeks to January 5, marking a further fall on the 2.6% drop seen in the quarter to October 6. See PA story CITY Greggs.

The boss of pub company Punch Taverns swapped pints for pasties today after he was named as the new chief executive of bakery chain Greggs.
Former M&S food halls boss Roger Whiteside will take over from Ken McMeikan, who announced his intention to stand down in December last year.
Mr Whiteside, who is 54, is already on the board of Greggs, having served as a non-executive director since March 2008.
His current job as chief executive of Punch involves a portfolio of around 4,500 leasehold pubs. His career began at M&S where he spent 20 years before guiding grocery delivery chain Ocado as joint managing director in its early days between 2000 and 2004. He later led off-licence chain Threshers until 2007.
He said today: "Greggs is a great business with an iconic brand that has strengthened considerably over the past few years. I believe we have a great future."
Mr Whiteside will take up the role from February 4 and, following a handover period, Mr McMeikan will leave the company on March 8.
Newcastle-based Greggs has more than 1,650 outlets across the UK.
Its shares opened 1pc higher today following the announcement.
N+1 Singer analyst Sahill Shan said: "Roger Whiteside's PLC and extensive consumer facing experience will serve Greggs well. We await to see what strategic changes if any he puts through in the months ahead."
Mr McMeikan, who led a successful campaign against the Government's "pasty tax" last year, is leaving to take the top job at catering group Brakes.

With a reputation as one of the toughest people in business, many stores would shudder at the thought of getting the Mary Portas treatment.

The game's performance has exceeded expectations, resulting in the publisher raising its profit forecast by EUR 45 million.
Ubisoft CEO and President, Yves Guillemot, commented, "As expected, 2008 is off to be a record year for the videogame market and our games have performed remarkably well in this context."
"Assassin's Creed and our Games For Everyone brands continued their strong performance and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 had a better than expected start."
"One year after the great success of the first title, the second iteration, which provides another unique multiplayer experience in the much enjoyed Tom Clancy environment, is ranked among the top games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in almost every country," he added.

That's right, you read it right. With the recent addition of running water and this newfangled electricity thing in Canada, the great people at PlayStation Canada held their 2011 Holiday Event in downtown Toronto. So needless to say, as soon as I heard about this event I fueled up the snowmobile and packed my bags and made the voyage across the frozen tundra to the big city. Upon my arrival I was welcomed with open arms (Literally, I had Ratchet waiting for me at the door!) and set to work on checking out some of Sony's latest technology and grabbed a sneak peek at some of their up and coming hits for this holiday season. And here's what I found.
As soon as I got in I couldn't help myself but to go straight to the Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception booth. It was here that I had the opportunity to play some of the single player campaign, a level that very few have had the pleasure of playing yet. Luckily for you guys though, the wait is well worth it! Never playing the series before I was quite drawn to it immediately and can understand the obsession! Be sure to check out the hands on by @myasharona which will be coming soon!
Next up I got to spend a little one on one time with the new PlayStation Vita. I can easily say that PlayStation has outdone themselves with this little piece of technology. Its everything they say it is and more. I got to play Little Big Planet on the Vita, and to make it even better I got to do so with one of the actual developers who talked me through the whole thing! It was amazing! I can't wait to tell you more about it in my upcoming article! So stay tuned.
Unfortunately I had to let other people play with the Vita as well, so I moved along and checked out the Sony Personal 3D Viewer. You all remember virtual boy
don't you? The brief attempt at a gaming headset by Nintendo back in the early 90's? Well picture that, but with the amazing quality and graphics that you expect from Sony. I have a ton more to talk about on this item later this week.
Once the headset came off I decided to try my hand at being a rock star. I strapped on a guitar, got a crash course in the game from one of the creators and then totally rocked out to some Nirvana. The game, called Rocksmith was an instant hit for me and I intend to purchase it for myself as soon as it comes out. So keep your eyes open for my upcoming thoughts and maybe even a few tips!
You would think by now I would be pretty exhausted, but PlayStation knows how to throw a party. After chowing down on some good food and fueling up on some caffeine I was able to push on through. This was the perfect time to challenge my editor MyaSharona and 4 others to the new Twisted Metal. I'll give you one guess on who came out on top! This guy ?
With our free reign of the event coming to an end before 100s of local gamers would let loose on the event I was able to sneak in a bit of time playing all the various demos set up by PlayStation, I got to check out their 3D-Tvs, and also tested out some PlayStation Move games.
Follow me @nicfurlong to check out my thoughts on Rocksmith, Sony's 3D Personal Viewer, 3D-Tvs and the Vita which will all be coming soon!

According to Sri Aurobindo, there is no such thing as a part-time Sadhana (dedicated practice or learning), it has to be entire and encompass the whole life. The secret of success in Yoga is to regard it not as one of the aims to be pursued in life, but as the whole of life. He says, 'All Life is Yoga'. I thought that a yoga which requires me to give up the world was not for me. I took it up seriously when I learnt that the same 'tapasya' ( effort to achieve self realisation) which one does to get away from the world can be turned to action'. The yoga practice during the retreat is suitable to beginners as well as practitioners of all levels. A carefully selected set of 'asanas' / postures is practiced in order to stretch the physical body. This sequence of asanas opens and cleanses the seven chakras (life energy centers) which regulate our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. While hatha yogic postures are practiced to strengthen the physical body, pranayama breathing techniques and meditation are also an essential part of the practice. Hanna Drechsel Hanna grew up in Germany, India, and the UK before making Florence, Italy, her home. Yoga has always been an important part of her life and she completed her first teacher training course in Italy. She than decided deepen her yogic studies under the direct guidance of Swami Vidyanand, the founder of Yoga Alliance International, in India and received the Master level certificate in Transformational Hatha yoga, Pranayama and Meditation. She is also certified in teaching kids & teen yoga. Hanna's practice is dedicated to the integral approach and teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. GIUMA is a conscious journey towards integral yoga, driven by the quest for inner growth and integral development. We organize retreats & vacations, teacher training and classes in India and Italy. Our not-for-profit initiative Samskara explores the possibilities of integrating yoga intervention in trauma treatment and prevention.

Many Russian NGOs face 'foreign agent' label
A draft law requiring NGOs that receive outside funding to register as 'foreign agents' will further limit their political independence.
Alexander Zemlianichenko/AP
Russian civil society activists are sounding an alarm over a draft law poised to be rushed through by the pro-Kremlin United Russia majority in the State Duma, requiring any political non-governmental organization that receives funding from sources outside Russia to label itself as a "foreign agent" in its public activities.
Activists say the new bill is a companion to the draconian law on protests, which shot through all the legislative hoops and was signed into law by President Vladimir Putin in the space of barely a week last month. They warn that the bill's definition of political activity – any attempt to "influence state policy or public opinion" – casts such a wide net that authorities will inevitably use it against any target they choose. An organization that refuses to register as a "foreign agent" could be suspended for up to six months without a court order, under the draft law.
Many view it as part of a spreading crackdown that they say is aimed at snuffing out the political protest movement and snipping off what the Kremlin views as the movement's roots in election monitoring, human rights, environmental and other civil society groups that challenge authorities on various levels. Although the label "foreign agent" – which is synonymous with "spy" in Russian – may not frighten people in more sophisticated Moscow circles, NGO leaders say, it's likely to cast a chill over their activities in the Russian regions to which they are trying to expand their work.

Denver Broncos
14 Sep 14Von Miller was perfect voice for players in drug policy talks
Few of the players selected to represent their teams in voting on the NFL's revised drug policy could speak with as much authority as Denver's Von Miller.
Few of the players selected to represent their teams in voting on the NFL's revised drug policy could speak with as much authority as Denver's Von Miller.
Playing for contracts or snaps, these players need to bounce back with a healthy season.
They struggled last year, but look for these NFL players to post big seasons in 2014.
Von Miller's 2013 was a struggle with a six-game suspension and a torn ACL at the end of the year. He want to "be better" next season.
Denver's most dangerous pass rushing threat is out for the season. But the Broncos just might be able to get away with a rush-by-committee approach.
Von Miller and Rob Gronkowski and Jake Locker are back on the field. Peyton Manning is back in Indianapolis. And Ndamukong Suh's reputation may never come back.
Are the Chargers legit? Are the Patriots mad at Gronk? Is Randall Cobb's injury serious? Is that a bear playing tetherball? Answers to these questions and more on the AM Q.
One of the NFL's best teams just got better. Von Miller's six-game suspension is up and will play for the Denver Broncos this week at Indianapolis.
"Von Miller's words, the few of them he's spoken or written since July, have thus far been hollow. Now it's up to Miller to finally come clean."
Von Miller + Aldon Smith will always be linked as stud pass rushers from 2011 draft. Too bad they are also sharing these type of headlines.
Broncos should get to 2-0 eventually here. They're probably going to be no worse than 5-1 when Von Miller's suspension is over.
Embattled Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is dealing with traffic issues not just in Colorado, but in California as well. Court records in Orange County, Calif., show Miller, who is serving a six game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, had an unresolved speeding ticket from 2012, leading to a bench warrant.
"Obviously we're not happy about. Everybody here has an individual responsibility, not only to themselves, but to this organization, to this football, so it's something we're not pleased about. We'll leave it at that." — Denver head coach John Fox said about Von Miller's latest incident which involved driving and speeding without a license.
Suspended All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is in trouble with the law for the second time in a month. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told Denver television station CBS4 on Tuesday night that the Denver Broncos' troubled star was cited last week for driving without a license and speeding near his home.
The difference between the two suspensions [Ed.: theoretically, six games versus four games] is significant for a team trying to reach the Super Bowl.

Westmont College is a four-year, residential Christian liberal arts college, with 1,200 students enrolled in a wide array of undegraduate majors. Approximately 1,000 students live in the five residence halls on campus. (For more information about the College in general, go to our home page.) Board PlanThe thousand boarding students (61% female) are split 87%/13% across our 21- and 15-meal plans. The meals they consume at our cafeteria-style Dining Commons (we call it "the DC") quite consistently reflect our standards for high quality. Visitors to our campus from other schools often remark on how much better the food is here than where they come from. Our students have given high marks to the food staff for friendliness, cleanliness and helpfulness. They also value the "continuous dining" model which enables them to find or create a healthy meal from 7am to 7pm daily. Another somewhat distinctive feature of the board plan is our generosity with "pack-outs" (planned meal absences), which allow individual and grouped students access to meals they can arrange in advance to pick up at the DC but eat elsewhere. Consequently, the missed-meal factor may be lower here than at some other schools. Several days each academic year are defined in advance as "headcount days," when we know that our student census will be very low; on these days we pay an agreed amount for each meal consumed. The total cost of our board plan is over $1,500,000 annually. / TOP / SEARCH / HOME CateringCatering is another setting in which "a cut above" well-represents our expectations. Events range from a gala Christmas party hosted twice for hundreds (once for our friends and neighors, and once for our faculty and staff), to intimate high-end luncheons for four in the President's office, to banquets serving 10 to 200 alumni or sports fans, to cookie and punch receptions of all sizes. A love for food, an eye for presentation, and attention to detail will need to be hallmarks of the individual assigned to oversee this aspect of our needs. Logistics can be challenging, as only the DC currently has food holding and preparation facilities; occasional events are catered off-site. We look forward to having our provider automate the scheduling, pricing, and invoicing of catering orders. Approximately 450 events are billed out in a typical year, producing over $180,000 in revenue. Peak loads can encompass over 50 events in a single week. (Last year: 29 breakfasts; 107 lunches; 41 dinners; 210 refreshments; 25 summer events [all types]; 39 other invoices [including linens only]) / TOP / SEARCH / HOME Summer ConferencesThe summer crew is kept occupied preparing meals for some 8,000 guests who participate in a host of conference programs each year. Customer expectations are usually exceeded, as witnessed by the kudos and good ratings given by the very diverse clientele of families, professional groups, athletes, day-campers and others who enjoy these weekend or week-long activities. Respect for cultural sensitivities governs the menu selection and food preparation for certain groups (eg, a preferred rice and cooking method for a Japanese church camp). The conference program generates over a quarter-million food service revenue dollars. / TOP / SEARCH / HOME Other SalesA short-order grill called The Study is open daily for lunch, and again in the mid-to-late evening for student interaction, homework, and refreshment. The Study grosses about $30,000 annually. Guest meals (at contracted rates), the "Munch Money" plan (110% value placed on the community's ID cards), and other miscellaneous sources crest the revenue over the $2 million mark. Note that vending is not included in this bid; the College has four years to go in a heretofore successful relationship with 7Up/RC, which includes most of the mixed and bottled beverages offered at the DC and Study. / TOP / SEARCH / HOME The Pros & Cons of StabilityProspects for future growth are frankly limited. We do not expect or intend to ever expand our on-campus enrollment. We are situated in an isolated and quite upscale neighborhood, so there is little non-Westmont traffic to generate sales. However, the incumbent's financial reports indicate that a provider can happily sustain quality performance without facing the vagaries of constant change. An important component of the stability here has been the dedicated workforce. Many of the Sodexho staff have sustained their productivity on campus for 10 or 20 years or more, and they have become well-known and much-appreciated members of the Westmont community. A key factor for us will be the confidence we gain about how these people would be treated in a successor contract. / TOP / SEARCH / HOME Annual CalendarOur academic year typically starts with providing special meals for hundreds of new students and their parents at Orientation in late August. Homecoming occurs in late September and involves high-intensity catering demands. Preview Days and Trustees' meetings occur later in the fall, followed by the Christmas parties. The food service board operation shuts down for about threee weeks at Christmas and reopens just before classes resume in early January. Other Trustees' meetings, Parents' Weekend, Alumni College and other events are held second semester, then the DC is closed one week for Spring Break. A flurry of activity in catering closes the academic cycle, as various symposia lead up to a near-frantic culmination at Commencement in early May. Our Mayterm academic program starts two days later and runs five weeks, with about 100 students on campus. Finally, after the summer conference program ends, and while there are only student athletes in residence, the DC runs a skeleton crew for a week in mid-August. The Study typically is available year-round for lunch, with few exceptions. Just over 300,000 meals are served in a year's time. / TOP / SEARCH / HOME FacilitiesThe Dining Commons (DC) was built in the early 60's and remodeled
in the mid 80's. Three dining rooms, seating 28, 53 and 107 diners,
adjoin the 372-seat main hall. Plans are in the works to enclose
an existing patio, bringing some 87 seats indoors -- hopefully
within a couple of years. The Study's grill and 70-seat dining
area are contiguous with the main food preparation area. The
8,826-square-foot interior workspace for the contractor comprises
kitchen, service area, dishroom, restrooms, storage and offices.
The food service equipment is owned by the college, as is the
smallwares inventory, including catering goods. / TOP

Accessing images using JavaScriptThe first order of business is to learn how to access images in general using JavaScript. Assuming you have three images on your webpage, as follows:
If you want to refer to the three images using JavaScript, here's how: document.images[0] //first image document.images[1] //second image document.images[2] //third image As can be seen, images to JavaScript are an array of images, so you use "[ ]" to access each image, "[0]" being the first one. This method lets you easily loop through all images on the page, though when referencing a particular image, it can become a nightmare to identify the one you want. Luckily, you can also reference an image in JavaScript via the image's name attribute. Lets use the first image as an example: <img name="myimage01" src="whatever.gif" /> Now, to access this image, this is what you'd do instead: document.images["myimage01"] //first image //OR document.images.myimage01 //first image Once you can access images, you can perform a few tasks on them using what's available in the JavaScript image object.

Tap-and-go at post office
Published at 14:08, Friday, 08 June 2012
The Post Office is starting the roll-out of contactless tap-and-go payment technology to its 30,000 counter positions next week.
Terminals enabling people to make small payments with just one swipe will be available across the network of more than 11,500 branches, making transactions faster and more convenient, the Post Office said.
The scheme will be launched next Wednesday in almost 200 branches around various Olympic sites and is expected to be completed by the end of October.
The Post Office said the initiative will be the largest deployment of contactless technology in Europe and will put the terminals within three miles of 99 per cent of the UK population.
Contactless schemes allow customers to make small payments by tapping their card on a reader at the point of sale without the need to sign or enter a pin number.
Once installed, holders of MasterCard PayPass or Visa payWave cards will be able to use the system in all Post Office Limited branches across the UK, with a limit of £20 per transaction.
The Post Office said the technology is well suited to businesses which need to offer a quick service to customers who need to make low value payments.

Update on Salazar: No money yet
(The following is an update from the CRST Tribal Administration to the Members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe regarding the CRST v. Salazar settlement and includes the most recent information made available to the CRST Administration.)
The US Department of Justice has yet to transfer the settlement fund to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in the case of CRST v. Salazar (06-cv-01897-TFH). The settlement was accepted and signed by the presiding judge on February 20, 2013. Upon this acceptance we were informed by the Department of Justice that it would take approximately 6-8 weeks for the settlement monies to arrive in the tribe's account. This time frame is the same that was given to all other tribes and all other tribes have had the same issue with the payment arriving on a somewhat arbitrary basis. Saturday, April 20, 2013 was the eighth week. Tribal Administration is doing everything in their power to track the progress of this transfer. They speak weekly with the Department of Justice and are told each time that "it is being processed." There has been no other deadline given to the tribe as to when proceeds from the settlement will be transferred.
Why have other tribes received their settlement funds before CRST?
Tribes such as Standing Rock and Lower Brule have been involved in this lawsuit since its inception. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe was not named as one of the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit, our suit was subsequent and secondary to the original. The original plaintiffs in the suit were the first to settle. It is because of this that those tribes received their settlement monies far in advance of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
Why are other tribes paying out more money than Cheyenne River?
Other tribes payment amounts differed because of their enrollment and total settlement awarded to them vary by tribe. Again every tribe has had different situations in regards to payment. The only similarity is that all tribes are being compensated for Federal mismanagement of their assets.
What will CRST's payment look like?
The amount of money offered in a per capita payment for Cheyenne River will be a settlement amount divided by total tribal enrollment. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe has 18,802 living members, to date. The settlement amount to be distributed will be approximately $30 million and include only those who are a member of the tribe one month prior to disbursement.
FOR EXAMPLE, as there are 18,802 tribal members and FOR EXAMPLE if disbursement was to take place on June 1, the $30 million dollars would be divided as follows to everyone enrolled on or before May 1, 2013:
Amount disbursed:
Tribal Enrollment: 18,802
Average per member: $1,595.
How will the CRST per capita payments be disbursed?
Disbursement of funds will be based on the accepted proposal. The proposal selected will guarantee the most efficient and timely manner in which funds can be allocated to our membership.
In conclusion
Chairman Keckler received a letter on March 22, 2013 regarding the Salazar v. Ramah case, which has to do with tribal contract monies. That case is a different case altogether than the Salazar mismanagement case in which the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe will receive a settlement from and will not affect a tribal per capita payment. This case is about reimbursing the tribe for money taken out of BIA and IHS contracts.
A public announcement via radio, internet, newspaper, and memorandum will be made once settlement monies have reached the tribe's account. Included in that announcement will be a plan and timetable for disbursement.

Trouble in paradise LyricsArtist: Bruce SpringsteenAlbum: Tracks Who'll do the crying when all the wishes don't come true You do the washing, I'll do the folding Whose heart is breaking When whose arms are holding someone new Sittin' on a peaceful lake sunnin' Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall coming When it's all a storybook story When it's all so easy and nice Here comes trouble in paradise You did the dusting, I did the sweeping You did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too long On a picnic 'neath the sky so blue We didn't see the rain and heartache coming through When it's all an old black and white movie And you're sure you've seen the ending twice Here comes trouble in paradise You said everything was fine I'm sorry, baby, I didn't see the signs Oh so beautifully you read your lines But in a play where the hero has no vice And love comes without a price So does trouble in paradise Don't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all gone Laying in a field on a summer's day Waitin' for those gray skies to clear away Knowing all love's glory and beauty Can vanish before you think twice Leaving trouble in paradise Now we share the laughing, we share the joking We do the sleeping with one eye open

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Ayotte rallies business owners against online sales taxes
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — An effort in the U.S. Senate to revamp online sales tax laws threatens to weaken New Hampshire's competitive advantage and create a bureaucratic nightmare for local business owners.
In states with sales taxes, online buyers are currently supposed to pay a tax on their purchases but the requirement is seldom enforced. Ayotte said she fears New Hampshire businesses would become tax collectors, forced to decipher as many as 9,600 different state and local tax codes. "In many states, they have authorized not just the states sales tax, but also in localities," she said. A congressional battle over the issue has been simmering for years, pitting Internet companies against traditional retail stores. Part of what is at stake is potential revenue for cash-starved state governments across the country. An estimated $20 billion in sales taxes go uncollected annually by out-of-state online merchants. Supporters also argue that not collecting the levies is a competitive disadvantage for retail stores, which must collect local sales taxes.
Online businesses with less than $1 million in annual sales would be exempt from having to collect the levies.
"I physically don't have the manpower or the hours to be able to handle something like this," he said. |

- 4 plantings
- 0 available for swap
- 0 wanted
- 0 stashed
Belonging to the Vitis genus (Vitis vinifera 'Golden Muscat'), Golden Muscat is a variety of Common Grape Vine. Golden Muscat is a heirloom variety.
he grape is a deciduous vine that is used for fruit, wine and shade. A single grapevine produces enough new growth every year to roof an arbor, arch a walkway, or shade over a terrace or deck. To produce quality grapes, choose a variety that fits your climate, prune it regularly, and train it carefully. Grapevines also require full sun, medium water, and good drainage. Well cared for, they can remain productive for 50 years or longer. The vines should only be pruned in the winter. Black rot is the most destructive fungus disease of grapes. Downy mildew and powdery mildew can also be a problem as well as the following insect pests: grape berry moth, grape flea beetle, grapevine beetle, sphinx caterpillar, grape root worm and Japanese beetle. This variety produces yellowish green fruit with a muscat flavor. This vigorous vine grows well in the coastal areas of California.
It grows mainly as a Deciduous, so it will tend to lose its leaves annually. Typically grows with a vine-like habit.Golden Muscat Common Grape Vine needs a moderate amount of maintenance, so some level of previous experience comes in handy when growing this plant. Ensure that you are aware of the soil, sun, ph and water requirements for this plant and keep an eye out for pests.

Let me start off with one word, WOW! Elizabeth and Eric's Nashville wedding was definitely a sight to see. When our bride and groom set down to start their wedding planning, they decided that they wanted to incorporate elements that were dear to them both. Since they both love history it only made sense for Elizabeth and Eric's wedding day to start off with the ceremony being held at an historic sanctuary in downtown Franklin, Franklin First United Methodist. In addition, having their wedding reception at an historic home, CJ's Off the Square.
Elizabeth and Eric's color combination of champagne, ivory, blush tones and shades of yellow was inspired by candle light. Both bride and groom enjoy the outdoor elements, which is why CJ's Off the Square was the perfect location for their wedding reception.
Since Eric is currently enlisted in the military, he wore his uniform. They also used his sabor to cut their wedding cake, which I thought was too cool!
Elizabeth and Eric's wedding day was full of fun, love, and of course, dancing! Oh, don't let me forget to mention the sweet ride that our bride and groom left the ceremony in, a 1967 MGB convertible. Jealous? I sure am! Be sure to check out Elizabeth and Eric's Engagement session.

caveat, if you're looking for a powder that will eliminate the need for swabbing, this is a poor reason. Front stuffers really do require 1. A love for front stuffers. 2. Dicipline
Great powder, try it you will more than like it, you'll love it!
I did have a significant problem trying to use this powder in a traditional powder flask and powder measure. Would not flow out of the spout!

"Performance is rarely measured in just sheer volume and most often is associated with the speed of that volume." Tim Waggoner
treadmill 5 miles 35:46
20 pullups
Since I have been focusing on a lot of long slow distance running for ultras and long trail runs, my short distance speed currently sucks. I have done a few speed interval days, but zero mid-range (3-6 miles) tempo and time trial work. That is part of the reason my recent 5k time was weak.
When it comes to running training for most of us, the blog post linked here contains a lot of wisdom. I understand the concept of building an aerobic base to increase endurance, but that is a very time consuming (and boring) approach. Running 5-10 miles a day to get 60-80 miles per week (or more) of running in would destroy my body and my motivation.
So while it may not be optimal, I agree with the blogger in the above post - running training is a lot like weight training. It needs to be a process of specific stimulus and then recovery. A weightlifter who wants to increase his bench press will lift heavy a couple days per week, and then recover and do it again. He won't do 1000 pushups and hope his bench goes up. The running analogy isn't perfect, but to me this is the same concept as running slow for 10 miles and then hoping your 5k race time improves.
Given the demands on my time, I need a training program that maximizes the benefit for the time I put in. So what I am planning to do is add many more mid-length (3-6 miles) time trials and run only 3 days per week. I will still do a longer distance run on the weekend, but nearly every mid distance run will be close to race effort and four off days per week should ensure enough time for recovery. Since my legs are pretty tired from all of the miles of the last couple of months, this should also let them recover prior to the races I have coming up in the fall. I don't think there is much downside to this approach, as I doubt I will lose fitness this way, and I might even get faster.

30 Days to Thin
Do our walkathon workout and tell those extra pounds to take a hike!
By Jim Karas
Special Offers
You know that exercising will make weight loss easier...getting yourself to start, though, can be unbelievably difficult. So make it simple: Just walk. You definitely know how; you've been doing it since you were about a year old! But these days, you probably find yourself behind the wheel more often than on foot. A recent study of women ages 40 to 66, conducted at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, found that those who walked more than others had a lower percentage of body fat, not to mention a smaller waist and hips. So how can you add more movement to your life? It's all about counting your steps.
Here's the thing about steps: They are small, but they add up. If you take 5,000 additional steps each day, you can burn about 200 calories (this is only an estimate your weight and the speed you are walking both factor in). That's not a huge number of calories, but hear me out. I'm going to start you with a seven-day plan that includes about 5,000 steps (roughly two and a half miles) each weekday and about 10,000 steps (about five miles) per day on the weekend; repeat this for a month and you should lose two pounds or more in that time without even changing your diet. Once the 45,000-step week starts to feel easy, take me up on the 5,000-step bonus; you'll see even better results. An inexpensive pedometer (for GH Research Institute picks, see GHI Test: Pedometers) will help, but you can also base your steps on the time and pace I've provided. On your mark...get set...lose weight!

Wedding: 3/24/2012
The venue itself is beautiful. We were both fond of Edgar Degas and his work. It was awesome to both get married and stay there. The staff was amazing. It was as stress free as a wedding can be. Sharon and Kelly were incredibly attentive and helpful. We look forward to returning every year for our anniversary.
Wedding: 3/15/2014
As mother of the bride I wanted my daughter's wedding to equal what she had envisioned. I would have to say it met those expectations and beyond. The Estelle Suite, served as a perfect place for the night before the wedding, for the dressing of the bride, and the Bridal suite for the bride and groom. The house and courtyard served as a perfect New Orleans setting for both the ceremony and reception. The Degas House staff transformed the ceremony space into the reception space seamlessly while guests were served hors d'oeuvres.
Mrs. Sharon and the waiting staff made us feel at home and truly outdid themselves! Our guests, both local and those from out of town, raved about the exceptional food! The menu offered was a tribute to New Orleans cuisine. The house itself served as a beautiful backdrop for pictures and the cutting of the cake.
If you are looking for a venue that provides New Orleans ambiance and tradition this location is a perfect choice.
Wedding: 3/15/2014
My now husband and I were blown away by how amazingly perfect everything was at the Degas House. It is not only the most beautiful location, but the staff are the most special people. We felt so taken care of and they were kind and helpful. I would suggest you stay there the night before and the night of because things worked out perfectly for us. If you are looking for an intimate setting, this is the place! Also.. the food is to die for!
Ashley, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are delighted that you were pleased with your wedding here at Degas House. Thank you for choosing us for this most special event in your lives.
Wedding: 5/10/2014
Beautiful venue, delightful staff, disorganized wedding planner. She did not have control over the wedding and as a result there was a lot of unnecessary chaos and confusion. I would recommend hiring your own wedding cooridnater if you select this venue.
Wedding: 11/22/2014
We used The Degas House as the venue site for our ceremony and reception, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience.
Quick Facts:
- Event coordinator, Eva Tracy and staff were amazing to work with.
- Caterer was incredible, provided a wide variety of options and was accommodating to dietary needs.
- Physical venue is historic and beautiful.
- Value of the wedding package was far superior to other venues we looked at.
Throughout the entire wedding process, The Degas House event coordinator, Eva Tracy was a pleasure to work with. She was very easy to get in touch with, always positive, very patient, and extremely helpful with every single issue and question that came up. During the ceremony and reception she was always on hand and made sure that everything went smoothly, including a number of unique requests that we had. All of our guests were well taken care of, as were our DJ and Photographer which we really appreciated.
One of the many reasons why we chose and loved The Degas House, was their caterer. The menu options as part of the wedding package were plentiful to choose from, and we were extremely pleased with the fantastic quality of the food. In fact we are still getting the occasional comment on how good the food was, over a month after our reception. The caterer was also able to accommodate a variety of dietary needs for our guests without any issue.
The venue itself is beautiful and historic. It allowed us to capture the feel and experience of New Orleans without having to be in a very crowded part of the city for a big name venue, or a park. The buildings themselves are picturesque and comfortable for hosting an event, and the courtyard outside was perfect for an outdoors event, even toward the end of November. Furthermore, the bedrooms upstairs were very comfortable both to stay in, and to use in getting ready for the event. Finally, with all the options that come with the wedding packages, a wedding at The Degas House allowed us to get all that we wanted and more while still keeping to a budget.
We strongly recommend The Degas House, for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and even just for a great B&B.

Word cannot express how thankful I was to find this venue! I am a New Orleans girl born and raised but have been living out of state for a while now. Planning away from home was quite the challenge but Eva and The Degas House made things so much more easier for me! I called venue after venue and each one, I just felt kind of beside myself. More as if because I wasn't physically there, they didn't really want to help. Instead of just make it work, I kept looking and I am SOOO glad that I did! From start to finish The Degas house made me feel so welcome! From every phone call to every e-mail, they were there to answer everything! The moment I meant Eva, it was the most comforting feeling any bride can have with their venue! She made me feel like family! Eva took care of everything for me so that I and especially my family didn't have to worry about a thing! Everything looked absolutely beautiful, and I will remember them forever! I had the most carefree and loving day to last a lifetime! The only regret that I have is that I didn't get a chance to thank the staff personally the night of the wedding. It FLEW by but every time I turned around a staff member was there to make me smile! I was this nervous bride sitting in the stairwell, trying to peek at who was out there! lol Just waiting...nervously for it to be the moment when I am facing everyone for the first time. A couple of the staff members waited with me to give me the signal and while we waited, they made me feel so comfortable! She told me stories and took away all of nerves! I literally felt like I had a whole new family on my wedding day and that really meant a lot to me! Ms. Sharon's food was the talk of the town too! My whole family raved about her and she sent us off with the food we didn't get a chance to eat and for the next couple of days we were in heaven! I'm hoping she sends me the recipe to her red beans! LOL The Degas House was an absolute beautiful place and the staff just topped it all off! I could keep going but you really should see it yourself! The pictures does NOT do it justice either, I had my questions of space not being able to be there but when I finally got to see it, it was like a moment in time. I cannot thank you all enough for everything that you did for me, my new husband, and all of our friends and family! Can't wait until we see you all again!

We were very excited to find out that our original date of our wedding 10 years ago was available. We were very impressed from there on out. The staff the days leading up our renewal was so supportive and professional. The day of was stress-free and everyone had fun. Everything went even smoother then our wedding years ago:)
Wedding: 11/22/2015
This past summer I hosted a Bridal Shower at Degas House. We wanted something different and fun. I worked with Paige on our small event, but she made us feel important. It was fun! We had beer, wine and appetizers. We got to bring in our own cake. They even helped us with games- it was part of the Dressing of the Bride Package. We just added on to it. It was really nice for the older people who came, they had just as much fun as us girls being silly!
Wedding: 9/20/2014
I highly recommend getting married here! My partner and I got married in NOLA for our destination wedding and were only able to make one trip down to the city to pick a venue and get everything in order. We had a list of place to visit, but after visiting Degas House, we were so excited and we knew that it was "the one." We rented out the entire bed and breakfast (8 rooms) for the weekend and had our immediate family from all over Canada and the US stay with us at the house for four days total. One of my best memories is waking up and hearing our family downstairs talking and laughing. We had the run of the house and it literally felt like we were home.
The staff are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! They were warm, funny and extremely responsive to our needs. Every single person in our family said that they actually felt as if the Degas House staff were family, which made our wedding weekend so much more special and memorable.
The event staff, Eva (wedding planner) and Paige were amazing from the moment that we first visited Degas House until our taxis arrived at the end of the weekend. They accommodated everything that we asked for and were quick to follow up via email/phone leading up to the event.
We organized a beautiful rehearsal lunch outside in the courtyard and Degas House brought in an amazing chef to cater our meal (chef made vegetarian accommodations too!). The meal was elegant and beautifully arranged and Paige and Eva even served us! Degas' great grandniece (who works in the museum) came to our luncheon to give a welcome and explain the history of the house, which I would highly recommend. Our family was blown away by this special surprise.
In looking at photos before, I thought that the courtyard looked a bit small to accommodate our ceremony, but it fit our 100 guests perfectly without leaving too much empty space. We brought a lot of our decorations and the staff set them up. Degas House has a beautiful white arbor that a past bride donated to the house and is available for couples getting married there. Everyone said that our wedding was one of the most beautiful and romantic weddings that they had ever been to, largely because of the setting. Degas House will get you out of the French Quarter in a beautiful historic neighborhood with huge live oaks and lots of space to enjoy. One more thing, our reception was held outside, but we also used the parlor of the home for seating. If you have any piano players in your group, there is a baby grand in the living room--my dad and his best friend played a blues duet for everyone.
My final suggestion is to ASK Eva or Paige if you have any questions or concerns and trust that they will work it out for you. They are extremely flexible and want you to be happy! We are already planning our visit back to NOLA and want to stay at Degas House.
Wedding: 9/5/2014
My perfect day was everything it was supposed to be thanks to Eva, Paige, and the rest of the amazing staff at Degas House!! They worked with me on every detail, making sure I was completely satisfied! My husband and I were on a VERY tight budget and that didn't compromise their service or enthusiasm at all! From the tasting and full bar selection, to help with a florist, bakery, and send off ideas, Degas was there every step of the way! They waited on us hand and foot throughout the exceptionally coordinated ceremony and reception; my husband and I never had to 'lift a finger' and never were without a beverage in our hands and smiles on our faces! They made sure we got to eat by setting us up our own table on our suite balcony for the two of us to eat and visit together after the ceremony and before the reception. The food was plentiful and delicious!! We were so excited to find after we returned from our 'just married' celebratory cocktails at the Sazerac that they had decorated our suite with our wedding flowers, more food, our pictures of us with which we had used to decorate our reception tables, and rose petals adorning the bed!! It was such a memorable event and the staff at Degas House made it all the more memorable! I obviously do not intended to get married again, but if I did, I'd do it all over again at the Degas House, absolutely!!!
Wedding: 10/25/2014
We just got married at the Degas House in New Orleans. The entire experience was PERFECT! Our wedding planners (which were included in the entire wedding package) Paige and Eva were so wonderful and helpful and fabulous that I wasn't stressed for a second. They even got the Degas House wired for more electricity to accomodate our amazing band! Paige felt more like a best friend than a wedding planner. She was easy going, friendly and made everything go so smoothly. I didn't have to do anything on the big day and that made it so wonderful.
Our ceremony was gorgeous! The lighting they use down the courtyard and over the dance floor was so beautiful and magical. It really made for an enchanted evening.
My entire family stayed at the Degas House which was such a cool experience. The rooms were great and the breakfast was spectacular every morning.
My bridesmaids and I got ready in the Estelle Suite which was so fun! We had lunch on the balcony and took some amazing photos overlooking beautiful Esplanade Ave.
We used Ms. Sharon, who is employed by the Degas House, to cater our wedding and she did not disappoint. The food was superb. Everyone loved it.
We had such a great experience with the Degas House that we'd do it all over again in a heart beat. It was absolutely the best day of my life and I have Paige and Eva and the Degas House crew to thank for that. I know my husband agrees. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and we also HIGHLY recommend this vendor for your wedding day.
Wedding: 9/27/2014
I was married at a local church in New Orleans and had my reception at The Degas House. I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about The Degas House, their staff, and the wonderful reception they helped put together.
First, Eva, our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our reception went perfectly. She was constantly in contact with my mother and I to make sure everything went better than it was supposed to. You could always count on her to email you back the same day, if not within a few minutes, even if it was later in the evening.
Next, the staff set up everything we had. Any decorations, favors, anything was set up so that my parents did not have to worry about it the day of the wedding. Eva placed everything where it was supposed to go and never missed a beat.
The day of the wedding was fantastic. The second my husband and I got off the street car Eva was smiling with champagne glasses in hand to greet us and get me freshened up. She was constantly telling me what was next and giving me a heads up if I needed to be anywhere for toasting, cake cutting, etc. I literally didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to let go and just have fun with the guests and my husband.
The staff could not have been more perfect. They were smiling, getting food for my husband and I without us asking, and making sure we were eating (since I'm sure most of you have heard that the bride and groom usually don't eat on their wedding day). They were always checking on our guests and a joy to have.
The food was to die for! If you are looking for amazing New Orleans cuisine you do not need a caterer for this venue. They will also try to accommodate anything you may want at your reception.
I gave the Degas House 5 starts for all of these reasons listed above and so much more. If you are looking for a place with exceptional service, a New Orleans feel, and beautiful atmosphere this is the venue for you!!
Wedding: 6/14/2014
My husband and I live in Chicago and we wanted to get married in New Orleans. We were lucky enough to find the Degas house to host our dream New Orleans Wedding. They could not have been more accommodating and wonderful in planning a destination New Orleans wedding!
-The food was gourmet and classically New Orleans, prepared in house by an extremely talented local chef Ms. Sharon who has worked there for years (they provided a tasting for my parents and my husband that was simply wonderful);
-The owner David was so helpful and generous in talking to us, showing us around, and really made us feel at home during our stay there;
-We got to stay in the Degas house where the wedding was held, and just walked up stairs to an amazing honeymoon suite in old style New Orleans decor at the end of our ceremony;
-The wedding planners (Eva, Rachel) were incredible (Degas house provided us with wedding planners!)! Every need we had, every convenience we hadn't even considered, they had already taken care of. They catered to what we wanted and helped us from the beginning until the end of the second line! They even wrapped up food and cake for us at the end of the night and had it waiting in our room knowing we'd be famished;
-The Degas courtyard was classically New Orleans, with gorgeous lighting between the houses, full space for our 8 piece band, and flawless access to the main house;
-The main house was stunning and a wonderful place to cool off and mingle between the courtyard and the guests;
-The Degas staff was first class, professional, cordial, and showed us that constant warm hospitality New Orleans is famous for;
Degas house created an incredible event for us and we would choose it again in a heartbeat. All of our guests keep telling us that "this was the best wedding [they've] ever been to." As we talk about it, ours was the best wedding we've ever been to as well. And at the end of the day, our wedding was the best wedding for us, because it was at Degas House.
I cannot recommend Degas house enough to anyone and everyone I talk to. Degas house is THE place to have a wedding in New Orleans.
Wedding: 12/31/2015
The Degas House provides that charming Southern elegance that is uniquely New Orleans. I personally have attended several events ... ranging from art gallery receptions, private parties on the patio, and their unique "Dinner With Degas". The staff is so accommodating; the food was delicious; and the setting is just perfect. A lovely venue for a destination wedding!
I was at the Degas house with 16 guest and had an unbelievable experance with the food , service , and entertainment. Working with Page was awesome took care of all of our needs and put our experance over the top.
Wedding: 10/23/2015
The Degas House was a perfect location for our reception. Not only is it beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The venue was already wonderful, but only became better when they saved us from a very difficult situation. At the last minute (3 hours before the reception!) our caterer went missing and we were completely lost. It looked as if we were going to have a reception without food (a problem in general, but even worse in New Orleans, where we love our food!).
As soon as Degas House heard about our troubles, they sprang into action, somehow creating a feast within hours. David, Rachel, Paige, and Eva were so helpful, and the talented chef, Ms. Sharon, salvaged the night with delicious in house catering. Our approximately 300 guests were none the wiser and the party went off without a hitch. Everyone commented on the great atmosphere and flow of the event and fully enjoyed the ability to travel throughout several spaces. Working with the staff, we decided on 3 different musical acts for the main house, the second residence, and the courtyard. The flexibility of the space makes me want to throw other events there in the future. Above all, though, I will never forget the grace and generosity of the Degas House staff and their extensive efforts to make sure our reception was everything we envisioned.
Wedding: 10/10/2015
We could have chosen from any number of banquet halls, but the Degas House is the only way to go if you are looking for an authentic New Orleans experience. The house and grounds are beautiful, the food delicious, the history of the home fascinating, and the staff extremely helpful and professional. Our coordinator, Eva, was a dream to work with. My son and his bride were absolutely thrill with their wedding. It was everything they hoped a New Orleans wedding would be. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, this is the place!

Beatiful and elegant, we had a great time for our wedding and everyone was so accomodating. Eva and Paige were great, thank y'all for making our day so special!
Wedding: 9/27/2014
We feel so fortunate to have had our daughter's wedding reception at the beautiful Degas House! The romantic atmosphere of the historical home and charming courtyard was the perfect setting for a New Orleans wedding celebration.
The entire Degas House staff was so attentive and warmly catered to each of our guests making everyone feel so welcome. All of our guests enjoyed the delicious dinner buffet prepared by Ms. Sharon. We received so many compliments, and the New Orleans cuisine was one of many special highlights of the evening.
We loved working with Eva, our wonderful wedding coordinator. She handled every detail of the reception in such a caring and professional manner. She truly has a special gift for smoothly coordinating all aspects of wedding planning, and her kind and sweet spirit was so appreciated.
It was such a sincere pleasure working with the exceptional staff at the Degas House. The venue is one of the most beautiful settings in all of New Orleans. It was a wonderful experience, and we will treasure the memories!
Wedding: 10/9/2015
My sister got married last weekend at the Degas House and it was the MOST incredible experience ever! The house was amazingly beautiful, but what made the weekend for us was the staff. Everyone was SO helpful- Paige was the greatest and went above and beyond to make every detail perfect. Ms. Rose's food was off the charts amazing and the staff just couldn't do enough. We can't wait to go back and stay just for fun!

Texas Department of Agriculture Confirms the State's First Citrus Greening Outbreak
Friday, January 20, 2012 - 11:33am
SAN JUAN - It's considered the most deadly and serious citrus disease worldwide, and just days ago, five trees were confirmed to be infected with citrus greening in San Juan.
"Citrus greening is a disease caused by a bacteria, so it's a tiny, microscopic organism. and that microscopic organism is moved, or transmitted by these small insects called phyllids," said Dr. Juan Anciso, Texas Agrilife Fruit and Vegetable Expert.

Dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
Non-native, introduced
Long thought to be extinct yet common in the fossil record, this species was found living in a remote part of China in 1941 and is now available from nurseries. It is related to the redwoods of the West Coast. It is an unusual cone-bearing tree in that it loses its needle-like leaves in the fall.

Justin and Selena are still totally on the same wavelength: they each spent Christmas with their families and posted adorable photos of themselves with their younger siblings. The holidays are all about spending time with loved ones and reminiscing — do YOU think they were missing each other?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez both spent the Christmas holiday with their families — and they both shared festive photos with their too-cute siblings! While Justin built a huge snowman with his 4-year-old brother Jaxon, Selena helped her family cook holiday dinner, with the assistance of her 6-month-old sister Gracie!
Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber Share Christmas Photos With Younger Siblings
Justin, 19, enjoyed a "snowy Christmas" with his little brother Jaxon! They even built a pretty impressive snowman together — the smiling snow sculpture was even taller than Justin!
Selena, 21, shared a precious picture of herself holding her sister on Christmas Eve — who is already a help around the kitchen! "Gracie helping me cook Christmas dinner," she captioned her cute Instagram photo. Selena has been adamant about not sharing many photos of her tiny sister until she's old enough to decide if she wants to be in the public spotlight, but she has been sharing more family photos than ever around the holidays!
Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber: Feeling Nostalgic?
Christmas is naturally a time of year that people get nostalgic — but it definitely seems that Justin and Selena are reminiscing about their time as a couple. Just a week before Christmas, Selena liked a fan's 2011 throwback photo of her and Justin sharing adorable smiles, that included the hashtag "love will remember." How sweet!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Justin and Selena missed each other at the holidays?

That twerp ruined a whole bunch of little girls Christmases by making them think he was retiring so they would go to his stupid movie and beg him not to retire. Plus Justin didn't build that snowman, the guy next to him did. He just took a picture in front of it. And what hand signal is he making his cute little brother do? It looks like a gun, probably some gang sign. I will never forgive him for upsetting all his little beliebers at Christmas with his pity party retiring comment. Christmas is about Christ, not Justin Greedy Bieber. Now I'm a hater.
Posted at 3:46 AM on December 30, 2013
What the hell is wrong with you???? A little 4 year old boy can't make an innocent gesture without you imagining some kind of gun reference??? Are you insane or what?? Are you actually insinuating that a innocent 4 year old boy in some kind of violent gang and making gang signals??? There is nothing wrong with Justin Bieber, it's mentally disturbed haters like yourself that are the true problem, not only for yourselves but the rest of your community.

When Jack woke up the next morning, his room looked strange. The sun was shining into part of it like it normally did, and yet all the rest was quite dark and shady. So Jack jumped up and dressed himself and went to the window. And what do you think he saw? Why, the beans he had thrown out of the window into the garden had sprung up into a big beanstalk which went up and up and up until it reached the sky.
Using the leaves and twisty vines like the rungs of a ladder, Jack climbed and climbed until at last, he reached the sky. And when he got there he found a long, broad road winding its way through the clouds to a tall, square castle off in the distance.
Jack ran up the road toward the castle and just as he reached it, the door swung open to reveal a horrible lady giant, with one great eye in the middle of her forehead.
As soon as Jack saw her he turned to run away, but she caught him, and dragged him into the castle.

3rd Annual Leprechaun Race, a 5K run/walk through the Wells Avenue and Midtown districts in Reno, Nevada
Yes, there will be a speedy leprechaun in the race. The leprechaun will start after everyone else has begun, giving everyone a generous head start. If you beat the leprechaun across the finish line, you will win a special prize.
Don't despair if the leprechaun beats you to the finish. For every runner and walker who the leprechaun passes, the leprechaun's pot of gold will grow in size. Who will benefit from the increased pot of gold? The Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum (The Discovery), who is Race178's non profit partner in the event.
