Book Review: The Bicycling Big Book of Training
Posted on March 28, 2015 Leave a Comment
I was invited by Rodale Inc. to review Danielle Kosecki's The Bicycling Big Book of Training.
I have a not-so-secret life-goal to race Ironman Kona. Unfortunately, the girl who grew up riding her bike to the pool, the movies, and all around town has since grown up and forgotten how to ride her bike – see My Epic Fail and What I Learned. So when Rodale (Runner's World/Bicycling/Running Times) gave me the chance to review The Bicycling Big Book of Training - Everything you to need to know to take your riding to the next level I jumped at the opportunity.
"The book is organized into five parts that cover the necessary components of a successful training and racing regimen.
Part I: Plan explains how to get your body in shape and how fitness translates into on-the-bike performance. You'll learn the different ways to assess your fitness and how to use those test results to get the most out your training."
What I liked: It explained the importance of microcycles, training logs and equipment in simple terms that didn't get too technical for a novice. It explains training zones and how to test yourself so you can become more efficient.
"Part II: Prep outlines nutrition and hydration recommendations, strength training routines, and stretching exercises that are crucial for daily workouts and race preparation."
What I liked: I always struggle with nutrition, not what to eat, but when. In "Prep" breaks out what to eat for your different training rides. It also details strength training and flexibility exercises as well as recovery stretches and rolling.
"Part III: Ride breaks down the three most common endurance events: centuries, charity rides, and gran fondos. With customized training plans and strategy advice for each, you'll know what to expect on race day."
What I liked: Everything you wanted to know from braking to cornering to how to descend to how to climb – it's all here – even how to fall!
"Part IV: Compete is all about racing. After covering the basics, you'll learn the skills required to competitively tackle discipline-specific events: road racing (one-day road races, criteriums, and time trial), cyclocross, and mountain biking."
What I liked: The do's. The don'ts. "Don't look back, but don't be a sucker." It's an overview of the events, but yet all the details are here.
'Part V: Tend addresses how to keep your body healthy all year. Topics include over training, recovery, ideal cycling weight, and injury care and prevention – everything from road rash to saddle sores."
What I liked: I loved the power to weight ratio and the chapter on rest and recovery.
The Bicycling Big Book of Training is a great resource and belongs in your hands if you are like me and want to take your riding to the next level, but don't know where to begin. It's an easy read and a valuable resource you'll keep in your training bag for easy reference. The Bicycling Big Book of Training is available now; 288 pages; Paperback; $16.49.
Are you reading to take your riding to the next level? What are your cycling plans in 2015?
What's Your Next Race?

Welcome to the 2015 Race Season! I'm proud to return for my 2nd year on Team HMF back to inspire YOU to get up off the couch and outside on the road!
For those of you not in the know – HMF is short for Hartford Marathon Foundation. HMF Events hosts 30+ annual runs and multisport events throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island as well as training programs for 5K, 10K, half and marathon distances.
The last two weeks I had fun kicking off the 2015 HMF Race season with the O'Race series. My 8-year son asked to run with me this year and I happily registered us for the #OPutnan #ONiantic and #OHartford 5k's so we would earn the #Trinity Medal.
HMF offers low 5K entry fees of $10 for kids "so families can run together without breaking the bank." I ran the 2014 O'Races and enjoyed myself, but this year running with my son by my side made the races even more special. Not only did he successfully use Jeff Galloway's run/walk/run method to successfully complete each race, but his time improved with each 5K.
The next HMF race weekend is April 11-12 Harvard Pilgrim Middletown Half & Legends 4-mile. There is also a Kid's Fun Run and a 1-Mile event. Last year I walked the Legends 4-mile and this year plan to run the Middletown Half as the first of three Half's in the HMF Triple Half Challenge.
I strongly recommend coming out to packet pick up meet, get inspired and learn from the Legends. Here are the events planned:
Saturday, April 11:
- 8:30 a.m. 3-mile run with Jeff Galloway along the streets of Middletown and past Jeff's alma mater, Wesleyan University. Free, all ages and abilities welcome.
- 10:00-1:00 p.m. Jeff Galloway's Running School , The Italian Society of Middletown, 72 Court Street, Middletown. (located across from the CT Superior Court building). Free parking in municipal lot adjacent to Court Street.
- Three hours of the information you need to reach your goals—injury free
- Ask all of your individualized questions
- Email access to Jeff afterwards
- Specific methods on nutrition, running form, setting up pace, running hills, breathing
- How to stay injury free, run long runs without being exhausted, run faster, stay motivated
- Cost: online ($99) or walk up ($129)
- 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. A conversation with the Legends: Kathrine Switzer, Jeff Galloway and Amby Burfoot. Free and open to the public.
Will you be running a HMF event this year? What's your next race?
Race Report: Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas…..baby #AvengeTheStrip Part II
Posted on March 25, 2015 4 Comments
The Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas Marathon has been on my #BucketList since 2009 as my goal race for Nevada on my quest for 50 Full Marathons in 50 States. So when the runDisney Avengers Half Marathon weekend was announced on the same day, I figured why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
It sounded like a good idea…I mean how hard could it be? Perfectly Goofy Gail had run 9 consecutive Goofy Challenges. I had run 5 consecutive Goofy Challenges. We both had run back to back races and had 17+ full marathons under our belts and 45+ races completed for 2014 already.
WE could totally run the Avengers Half Marathon at 5:30am in California, jump on a plane and then fly to Las Vegas to run the Las Vegas Marathon at 4:30pm. Totally.
The plan was hatched. As a member of Team Chocolate Milk my Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas entry fee was covered. Perfectly Goofy Gail had registered for a Tour Pass. As a Premier Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Holder, I secured my entry for both the Avengers Super Heroes 5K and Avengers Half Marathon. We decided to stay off Disneyland Resort property since we had witnessed (many times) the Disneyland Hotel taxi line post race at check-out time. We chose the Hilton Anaheim a short 14 mile drive to John Wayne Airport. Then we secured our flight, choosing to fly rather than drive the 4-hours because neither one of us could be trusted to stay awake while the other was driving.
Goofy In A Day:
We finished the runDisney Avengers Half Marathon in 2:54:30 – taking our time and trying not to exert ourselves too much fighting the 30+ mph Santa Ana winds. We crossed the line and made a bee-line out of Disneyland Resort to the Hilton were we quickly packed, called for a taxi and got to the airport, not stopping to change out of our not-so-nasty, thank you Santa Ana winds, clothes.
Once through security we chowed down on the best Big Mac Value Meals I have EVER had. Thankfully we didn't experience any flight delays and made it to Las Vegas in an hour. Then to wait in the normal Las Vegas long lovely taxi line for a short drive to the Mandalay Bay hotel. We chose the Mandalay Bay hotel due to its proximity to runner's village and the Start Line. When we run in 2015, I would like to look for hotels close to the finish line instead of the start. The Strip is closed during the races and it makes finding a taxi home difficult.
TIP: Remember to not check luggage, pack comfy clothes for travel, ear plugs, an eye mask and maybe a pillow for the plane…just saying.
Knowing we wouldn't be able to attend the Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas Expo, we paid the fee for same-day bib pick-up. Unfortunately, we also missed out on shopping and Rock'n'Rolls Half of the Half and 5K. What we were NOT prepared for was the WEATHER. As a New Englander, I have cold weather running gear – lots of it. Heck, I could outfit my daughter's entire cross-country team. However, when I packed for multiple races in multiple days, the Las Vegas weather was not showing temps in the 30's. We were unprepared for the cold and we had to run a marathon.
Gail and I layered and much as we could. As veteran marathoners, we decided to put it out of our minds and think warm thoughts. This race was going to be "fun dammit" – Gail chanted. Perfectly Goofy Gail was smart enough to have packed gloves. And on mile 2, she spotted, stopped and picked up gloves from the side of the road for me to wear! I loved her for this. I seriously didn't care if the gloves were covered in Ebola, I was so happy to wear them 26.2 miles.
Although it was freezing cold, it was amazing to run down #TheStripAtNight. Crowds lined both sides of the street cheering. The Vegas lights entertained us as we made our way up The Strip, passing the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, the wedding chapels up Las Vegas Boulevard. The bad part of this course was both the half and full marathoners share the course until the split. The half marathons turned at Freemont Street, while the full marathoners kept going west and then north….out to nowhere and back to civilization. Once the half marathoners turned, the flat, cold, dark course grew challenging. There was no talking. There was no fun. We were in this together, but we were exhausted. I didn't take many photos during the race – I couldn't feel my fingers. We kept our heads down and kept to our intervals knowing we needed to beat the sweepers. We crossed the finish elated, but cold and crabby. We downed a True Moo Chocolate Milk, got our photos taken and then straight into the Bellagio for FOOD. There we had the best pot of HOT TEA EVER, a beer, and lots of warm food and sushi !!!!
Cheers to those who attempt to run Goofy in a Day! It is not for the lighthearted. And yup, that means I'm coming back in 2015.
Is the Las Vegas Marathon on your bucket list? Will you #AvengeTheStrip?
Race Report: 2014 runDisney Inaugural Avengers Half Marathon AKA #AvengeTheStrip Part 1
Posted on March 24, 2015 1 Comment
The second race of the runDisney Avengers Half Marathon Weekend was Perfectly Goofy Gail and my 19th runDisney race of 2014. We would earn our 25th and final runDisney medal of the year by running the Half Marathon. But WE couldn't JUST fly across the country and run the half marathon in California. No, no, no. Since we were so close to Las Vegas we would have to take advantage and ALSO run the Rock n Roll Las Vegas Marathon (yes, the full) in the evening.
The Inaugural Avengers Half Marathon began at 5:30am. Joining Perfectly Goofy Gail and I, was #SweatyBands Merle. Since we were attempting #GoofyInADay, our costumes were non-nonsense, yet cute-as-can-be, #TeamSparkle inspired and #SweatyBands accessorized.
Below is the course map. As you can see, it is a mash-up of other Disneyland half marathon courses, but run in the opposite direction in through the Angel stadium.
The course would had been a really fun, fast run, but Mother Nature and her Santa Ana winds had other ideas. 30+MPH head-winds made running difficult, exhausting and down-right PAINFUL. Please take a look at our video at the top of the page to see examples of the wind, the downed course mile makers and again the wind pelting our faces.
I loved the trail part section of the Avengers Half Marathon and running through Angel Stadium, but was the course fell short due to lack of park time. Of all the runDisney Disneyland Half Marathons, this course had only 2 miles of park time versus the normal 3-miles. The only thing that made up for the lack of park time was the cosplay performers on the trail and outside the stadium cheering on the runners.
Also, the Avengers character lines were so long, we only waiting in the Hawkeye line (Merle's request) because we needed to catch a plane to Las Vegas for the Rock n Roll Marathon and #AvengeTheStrip Part II.
Did you run the 2014 Inaugural Avengers Half Marathon? Are you running in 2015?
Race Report: 2014 runDisney Inaugural Avengers Super Heroes 5K
Posted on March 23, 2015 2 Comments
Early registration for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members for the 2015 Avengers Half Marathon Weekend opens Tuesday, March 24th, noon EST. General registration opens on Tuesday, April 7th, noon EST. New for 2015 the Captain America 10K and the Infinity Gauntlet Challenge.
I'm a big fan of the rebooted Ironman, Captain America, Thor, and Avengers movies. When runDisney announced this race weekend, I had high hopes for the Inaugural Avengers Half Marathon Weekend. In my mind I pictured awesome character opportunities and themed merchandise. What I experienced, I can sum up with one word….meh. However, because this was an INAUGURAL race weekend, I know in my heart of hearts runDisney will listen, learn and come back to give their runners what they want.
The Inaugural Avengers Half Marathon Weekend's official merchandise in my opinion was a disappointment. Did the merchandise sell out? I'm sure it did, however, for me it missed the mark in variety and design. But more importantly for the bean counters, the merchandise didn't have me opening my pocket-book. I left the expo purchasing only 2 car magnets and a Hulk water bottle. This was a significant drop in my average runDisney expo purchase.
runDisney 5K's are some of my favorite races. First, they are not timed. Second, the 5K's are less intimidating welcoming runners of all abilities. Third, the best and most elaborate of costumes are worn since this is the shortest distance run.
Knowing all this, I was excited to run my 18th runDisney race of 2014 with my pal, Perfectly Goofy Gail. Decked out as Enchantress and Captain America we excitedly made our way from the Hilton to Disneyland Drive.
The Avengers Super Heroes 5K began at 5:30am. We were in Corral A, but our plan (as it is for all our runDisney races) was to stop at all the character stops and have a blast!
The course headed south down Disneyland Drive and turned left into Disney's California Adventure Park at Disney Way leading the runners into Cars Land. We stopped for our 1st photo of the morning with Lightening McQueen. We then ran up Route 66 to our 2nd photo stop – Black Widow. The line for her was so long, Cast Members were taping switchbacks onto the pavement for the queue. I'm guessing we waited a good 15-20 minutes in line for a photo.
Then we ran pass the Wharf turning right through Grizzly Peak. On the left, right before Soaring over California we came to our 3rd character stop – Hawkeye. Unfortunately, the line was so long it was closed to other runners when we were half-way through to our turn. My disappointment with runDisney for runners in the back corrals grew each time another was turned away from this character opportunity.
We got our photo and made our way out from DCA and into Disneyland Park stopping for a snap in front of the train station and a #WoodIndianSelfie.
At the top of Main Street U.S.A. we found our 3rd character stop – both Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Unfortunately, this line was also long and slow. What made the line inefficient were the cast members allowing for autographs, multiple poses and cameras.
After another 10-15 minutes in line, we were again on our way into Fantasyland via the walkway to the Matterhorn and our 4th photo stop with Thor. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived to Thor the photo line was closed and we were ushered on our way.
Considering we were running a 5K, the number of other runners around us was dwindling down. We arrived at our 5th character stop to find Alice with the Mad Hatter positioned in front of King Arthur Carousel in Fantasyland. We were allowed to wait in line for our photo.
Then we made our way around the Rivers of America into Frontierland and to an empty character backdrop. We found out we had missed Captain America. Never-the-less we kept running to chEARS from the custodial staff still out clapping and waiting for high-fives!
We rounded the exit to backstage of Disneyland Park through the exit to Downtown Disney. It seemed most of the runners had finished long ago and the spectators were packing it in for the day. Perfectly Goofy Gail and I made our way to and over the finish line. It took us 1:42:46 with a 28:54/min pace to finish the Inaugural Avengers 5K. To see our entire Avengers 5K experience please click here or the top of this post.
I always enjoy the runDisney Disneyland races. The Avengers 5K course was a little different from the Tinker Bell 5K, Disneyland 5K (and Star Wars 5K) – a fact I love about the Disneyland runDisney races compared to the Walt Disney World runDisney races. However, I was disappointed in the lack of Disney characters in Marvel inspired costumes (orrunDisney costumes) and runDisney having to pull the face characters from the character photo opportunities.
Also, because of the $75 expense of a runDisney Disneyland 5K it is a shame all runners could not share in the same experience as those who were speedier or in a better seeded corral. runDisney will have to work on managing the character stops for its popular characters – as evident at both this race and at January's Star Wars Half Marathon weekend races.
Did you run the Avengers 5K? Are you planning on registering for it again in 2015?
Product Review: LYNX Sportswear
Posted on March 21, 2015 Leave a Comment
I was invited by LYNX Sportswear to test and review their products. I received a Dart Racer Back sports bra and a pair of black Discovery capris for this review.
LYNX sports bras were developed for the large-breasted women by a female athlete. LYNX Sportswear specializes in cup sizes C to J.
I normally wear a size 32-D bra, but when sizing my LYNX sports bra, I measured both my rib cage and bust by following their measuring directions. It was determined I was between sizes – I settled on the 3-Dart Racer back.
In an effort to fully test the products, I wore both the sports bra & capris for speed work, a long run and during a race. I even wore the bra for the Rock n Roll DC full marathon (in the RAIN).
I also laundered both products multiple times using WIN Detergent with cold water and line dried. Both products wash and wore extremely well.
What I liked about the Dart Racer back:
- Easy to clasp with a single hook
- Soft elastic (under the breasts on the ribcage) didn't rub
- Very light-wick material – the lightest sports bra I've ever worn
- Kept the girls firmly in place
- No chafing under the arms
- Did not cut into my shoulders
The Dart Racer back retails for $56 and comes in a wide variety of colors.
What I liked about the black Discovery Capri:
- Loved the Core Support waistband – covered up my muffin top
- Perfect fit – they made me feel taut and skinny
- Didn't droop in the knees or butt after a tough workout
- Pants didn't ride up the legs
- Loved the cool mesh panels behind the knees
- Love the back zip pocket (I never ever use these pockets – but I still like options)
The Discovery Capri retails for $76.

Race Report: 2014 runDisney Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5K
Posted on March 10, 2015 1 Comment
Just in time for registration for the 2015 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 noon, EST – here's the 2014 race report!
Hands down Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5K is my favorite Walt Disney World runDisney 5K.
- It is the only 5K course which runs through Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
- It is holiday themed.
- There is "snow" at the start.
- It begins at 7am – the latest start time of all the runDisney 5K's.
This was my 2nd running of runDisney's Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5K having run it in 2013 with my husband. This year I was running with my best friend, Nicole, Perfectly Goofy Gail and Photo Bomb Becca.
Dressed in our finest holiday wear, we met up with Photo Bomb Becca in Disney's Animal Kingdom parking lot to get her dressed before heading to our corral. We learned pretty quick, that our fabulous holiday toppers wouldn't allow us to run, so our plan was to walk the entire 5K without stopping for photos – an unfortunate consequence of looking so fabulous.
Even though we began in corral C and walked the entire course, we still managed to have a great time spreading "holiday cheer for all to hear." And just because we weren't stopping for the "official" character stops, we made our own fun as we completed the first race of the weekend stopping for selfies with course support. Plus we finished long before the sweepers.
Will you be running runDisney Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5K in 2015? What's your favorite part of the race?
Race Report: 2014 New York City Marathon
Posted on February 12, 2015 1 Comment
As I write my race report for the 2014 New York City Marathon, I am contemplating throwing my name into the 2015 NYC lottery for the 5th time…to enter the 2015 TCS NYC Marathon Lottery Click Here.
On November 2, 2014, I was lucky enough to run my 2nd New York City Marathon in 2 years. I had run NYC in 2013 through guaranteed entry having been a lottery reject in 2010, 2011, 2012(New York City Marathon – Chemo Shemo). Never in a million years did I think my number would come up again and I would be given a do-over. Lucky for me, I would have tons of company in New York. Both of my running friends, Alison and Janice, were also running through their guaranteed entries – being rejected in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Because this my 2nd NYC Marathon, I knew what to expect and I was looking forward to savoring the experience. First up, the 1st rate New York City expo. Sadly, I was a little disappointed. Sure there was the humongous official merchandise store, but it seemed the 2013's NYC expo had more vendors and they weren't all crammed together in such tight quarters. Walking this year's expo, the aisles made for tight, slow-moving and less-than-pleasant shopping. It was so bad, Alison had to remove her self from the crowded conditions.
I did get to visit with my some of my favorite runners and vendors Bart Yasso in the Runners World booth, Sweaty Bands, and runDisney. And most importantly to me, I got to order my 2nd Tiffany New York City Marathon apple charm.
As a member of NYRR the club 2014 entry fee was $216 plus a $11 processing fee. The non-member US fee was $255 plus a $11 processing fee. The non-US fee was $347. Note – for 2015 there will not be a fee increase. Yes, the New York City Marathon is an expensive marathon, here's what you receive:
- Entry to the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon (including fluid/fueling stations, medical support, entertainment, baggage handling*, security, and more)
- Runner "goody bag", including official ASICS technical shirt and official Marathon Program magazine.
- Official transportation to the start from Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, or the Meadowlands Sports Complex (New Jersey); Start festival, including breakfast and entertainment
- Finisher materials: medal, food, beverages, United Airlines/Foot Locker Heatsheet™, official results magazine
– From New York City Marathon. See more at: http://www.tcsnycmarathon.org/plan-your-race/getting-in#sthash.GFAb4tMG.dpuf
Since I had already been through the joy that is the NYC Marathon transportation ….I slept in an hour longer than my hotel roommates and got up in enough time to take the subway down to the Staten Island Ferry.
It seemed my subway and ferry rides were less congested than in 2013. Thankfully all rides were uneventful as I moved from the subway…..
to the Staten Island Ferry and onto a bus to reach Fort Wadsworth – AKA Marathon Village.
My good college friend, Steve, was volunteering in Marathon Village. He was stationed at the Poland Spring Water station (you don't even want to know what time Marathon Village volunteers had to arrive). I stopped by to say hi and to try to find a place to escape the cold, strong winds. Runners were camped out and in any available shelter, including the Poland Spring Water truck.
After a potty stop and a hug, it was time to say good-bye to Steve, and make my way to my corral. Our marathon start was delayed and there was a back-up at the corrals. But soon, we were walking and making the turn behind the buses to the start line. For every wave start of the marathon, I believe they sing the Star Spangled Banner. I don't remember that, but I do remember they played New York, New York as we crossed the start line and began our assent up the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
The marathoners were notified of high winds, cold temperatures and that the wheelchair athletes had started the race at mile 2 to avoid the bridge winds. However, I was not prepared to run headfirst into the 30 mph winds (for miles). And soon as we started the assent, you felt the winds pushing you back – hard. The wind did not stop the entire 26.2 miles.
My coach wanted me to start with 30/30, 20/20 or 15/15. Then at the halfway point, to see how I felt and move to 20/15 or 30/20 if I felt good. He then suggested at 20 miles to move to 60/30 or 40/20 or 30/15. But I didn't take his advice – a former Olympian and finisher of over 150+ marathons – I didn't listen. I felt good and I wanted to run 2/walk 30 from the start. Here were my mile splits:
- 11:11
- 10:07
- 10:54
- 10:46
- 10:58
- 11:16
- 11:16
- 11:51 I began cramping up on my side at mile 8 and then shortened my intervals.
- 12:10
- 12:44
- 13:35
- 13:11
- 14:12 By Mile 13 I was full walking and had totally run out of gas.
- 15:27
- 15:57
- 18:01
- 17:48
- 16:29
- 16:42
- 17:11
- 18:03
- 16:59
- 17:13
- 17:02
- 16:51
- 15:04
- 7:28:07
I think I was running while both dehydrated and under fueled. I kept drinking water at all the water stops. Then I stopped to use the port-a-potties at every mile. I walked until mile 25. It was ugly, I was dejected and I felt like it was a repeat of the Hartford Marathon. I just put my head down and tried to remain positive, but it was a hard race and my dreams of beating my time for 2013 were squashed.
In 2013, I ran NYC having received a chemotherapy treatment the Friday before Sunday's race and finished with a 5:28 time. This year I expected to do better, but it was not meant to be. I finished in 6:20:11.
Here are some of facts of the 2014 NYC Marathon directly from Runners World:
- The start temperature in Staten Island at 9 am was 43-degrees
- The wind was blowing at a steady 31 miles per hour
- There were gusts of more than 40 miles per hour
- The wheelchair race was shortened to 23.2 miles due to winds on the Verrazano
- The race had 50,564 finishers breaking 2013's record as the biggest marathon in history. (50,869 starters)
When you are out on course in the middle of 26.2 miles all you can think about is yourself and getting to the finish. Because I was wallowing in my own self-pity, I didn't realize others might also be having a crappy day. It turns out my friends were all finished with the race, but were also all worn down. I saw my HMF Teammate Chris Trotta at the finish and picked up Janice and Alison at the medical tent. I have to admit I felt a little better hearing all my friends struggled too because as you know – misery loves company. Regardless of how we got to the finish, we did finish.
The following night, I was invited to a UCAN event at Yale University where I got the honor of meeting Meb Keflezighi, winner of the 2014 Boston Marathon and 4th place finisher of the 2014 NYC Marathon.
I had Meb sign my medal because I told him, "it's the only race I'm ever going to run with you." It turns out, our paths would once again cross….in Las Vegas!
Is the New York City Marathon on your bucket list? Will you be entering the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon lottery?

Rosberg thanks fans for support on "a special day"
Jul 20, 2014, 11:00 AM EDT
Nico Rosberg was quick to thank the German fans for their support at Hockenheim today as he stormed to his first victory on home soil ahead of Valtteri Bottas and championship rival Lewis Hamilton.
The German driver led every single lap of the race en route to victory, but, as he explained to Kai Ebel on the podium, it was not without its challenges.
With this win, Rosberg has extended his lead at the top of the drivers' championship to 14 points over Hamilton, although it could have been far worse for Lewis had it not been for his titanic drive from 20th to third come the checkered flag.
The two Mercedes drivers are set to renew battle next weekend at the Hungaroring for the Hungarian Grand Prix, in what will be the last race before the sport's summer break.

text: I haven't tried opencv on a Gumstix in a long while, but I did recently build numpy and had similar issues. To solve it I ended up adding the fortran compiler to the Yocto build. AND I removed the native fortran compiler from the build machine. Either that or I used a build machine that didn't have a native fortran compiler installed. Otherwise the numpy recipe seemed to keep finding the native compiler. I didn't track it down. The steps to add fortran weren't obvious so I wrote up some notes. http://www.jumpnowtek.com/linux/yocto/Add-Fortran-support-to-a-Yocto-build.html After that I could add this to the image and it built clean. PYTHON_INSTALL = " \ python-core \ python-numpy \ " Maybe this helps. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/Add-opencv-support-into-yocto-project-with-meta-dsp-overo-tp4969197p4969203.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Teen died of exposure
WASAGAMACK First Nation Chief Alex McDougall says a 17-year-old boy whose body was found Wednesday died of exposure.
RCMP say they won't release any further details until they have an autopsy report. McDougall said the community will wait before commenting further.
"We lost one of our young people due to exposure," the chief said. "We are waiting on the results of the medical examiner's autopsy. (Then) we'll make final arrangements for the deceased and the family."
The boy's body was found about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday outside a residence.
McDougall said the RCMP have not issued any warnings and do not appear to be searching for suspects. Cpl. Miles Hiebert would not say whether the boy showed any signs of injury.

The iconic French actress put the "cat eye" look on the map during the 1960s. This striking graphic eyeliner suits every eye shape because it follows the natural curve of the eye. The wing is really about using the lower lash line as a guide and flicking upward. Remember that it takes lots of PRACTICE to get a flawless line like Brigitte's so take your time and be willing to start over if you need to. Here are some tips to start you off:
1) Practice drawing the line using a pencil – which is more forgiving than liquid – first. Our Essential Brightening Eyeliner in Black is perfect for this.
2) Once you are happy with the line, go over with the blackest liquid you can find like our Essential Liquid Eyeliner in Black.
3) Contrary to popular belief, you should actually keep your eye open when drawing the line and wing! This will ensure you get as close to the lash line as possible and that the wing is at the correct angle.
4) Follow with two coats of our Studio Mineral Infused Mascara to get Brigitte's perfectly defined lashes.
P.S. Our Studio Makeup Remover Pen is great for cleaning up and fixing mistakes without having to take off your entire eye look. Good luck!

The view from my room looks over the port of Casablanca, a very busy area for commercial shipping and cruise ships.

During a segment on Australia's 'Today' show, shark expert Paul Bart was brought in to discuss alleged shark sightings in a popular swimming lake down under. After he refutes the fish tales, the show's hosts gave Bart a chance to catch the rumored sea beast with a fishing rod, expecting him to come back empty-handed.
Bart casts off and promptly hooks a duck, who had come down to the lake for a quick snack. "I'd go to another shot," Bart recommends, as he continues to reel in the water fowl. Co-host Lisa Wilkinson calls it "awkward," and, boy, is she right. See the clip below:

Yesterday marked one of the best-named sporting events of our time, "The Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 NASCAR Sprint Cut Race" at the Michigan International Speedway. The entertainment didn't stop there: during the post-race interviews, a TV cameraman positioned behind Kyle Busch mimed slapping around the third-place finisher in his lens. You know, like when you close one of your eyes and pretend to squish the head of someone in the distance. Cameraman stuff. If only we could see it from his perspective.
Sure, they're technically still kids, but one can't help but say "aww!" at the newly released baby photos of 'American Idol' stars Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.
The photos, released by 'American Idol's' website, show the season 10 winner and runner-up looking so-adorable-it-hurts as they pose for the cameras. In Scotty's case, we see him with his older sister, while Lauren poses in a cute frilly dress and bow.
Actor James Arness, who played the legendary Marshal Matt Dillon on the popular Western series 'Gunsmoke,' died Friday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, a family spokesperson has confirmed. He was 88.
The larger-than-life actor, who stood at a towering 6'7," played the indelible Marshal for 20 seasons and over 600 episodes, helping to make 'Gunsmoke' one of the longest-running primetime series in TV history.
Though she didn't win 'American Idol' season, 16-year-old runner-up Lauren Alaina is apparently used to rejection.
The Rossville, GA, native revealed Thursday on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' that she had previously tried out twice for 'America's Got Talent,' and was shown the door both times.

My 5 hour trip took 2 days. Sent me all around Europe without any service provided at any circumstance. Never use TAP!
Written on: 25/07/2014
AGREE. Got the ticket with two connection with TAP Portugal, first plane was almost 2 hours late, second connection the flight was over 3 hours delay ..I was lucky because the transfer time was enough to take the second TAP airplane.
The way back, first airplane delays over 2 hours, that time the transfer period from Lisbon was not enough to take my second Tap flight .then I miss the flight... They lost my bags.. It took me two days instead of 4 hours to get home. WORSE AIRLINE AWARD.

Wasps re-sign Australian centre
ESPN Staff
July 25, 2013
London Wasps have announced the capture of their former centre Ben Jacobs from the Western Force.
Jacobs joined Wasps in 2009 and turned out 57 times for the Aviva Premiership outfit. He departed Adams Park in 2011 to join Japanese club Kyuden Voltex and then linked up with the Force. But Wasps have moved quickly to re-sign the centre and he will link-up with the club for the forthcoming season.
"Ben's experience will be a big asset for us this season," Wasps boss Dai Young said. "Losing Lee Thomas to retirement was a real disappointment for both ourselves and the players recently but Ben will come into that midfield mix and do a very good job for us. He knows the club inside out and was very keen to come back here so we're looking forward to him joining up with us again."

This year, as I joined millions of my people in celebrating the festival of freedom, I could not help but think of the thousands of Jewish women who may not be slaves in Egypt, but are nevertheless not free.These women, known as "agunot" or "mesuravot get", are not free to enjoy loving companionship, remarry or have children. They are not enslaved by Pharaoh, but by their greedy, vindictive husbands, who refuse to free them from unwanted or non-existent marriages.Trapped by Jewish law, which requires the consent of the husband in order to obtain a "get" (a religious divorce), each one of these thousands of women suffers along with her children. As an Israeli lawyer, I have represented hundreds of these women in the rabbinical courts for almost four decades. Sadly, I have witnessed their pain and anguish.Lecturing over the years to Jewish communities in 30 countries, I have heard the tragic stories of Jewish women worldwide.Why are these women unable to celebrate their freedom? Why have our distinguished, learned rabbis been unable to solve this problem and free these women? I've been asking these questions for almost 40 years and have received a variety of answers."Halacha binds our hands," replied a well-known dayan (religious court judge) several decades ago. A caring, compassionate, learned man descended from a long line of distinguished rabbis, he told me that his efforts to free agunot were limited by Jewish law."Be creative," I replied. Throughout Jewish history, we have had many creative rabbis who have found solutions to the problem of agunot. Why can't you use those solutions now?"We need consensus," stated another distinguished rabbi. "So long as there is controversy among leading rabbis regarding these creative solutions, we cannot apply them.""Be courageous," I responded. Jewish leaders, religious and secular, have been courageous throughout our history and we are so proud of their actions."Ah," replied a distinguished rosh yeshiva, known for his courage and creativity, "I am willing to be courageous, but I am not willing to commit suicide!" "Be patient!" they all say. "We must move carefully and slowly in resolving this problem."Well, we have been patient for many decades, but so far we don't see much progress. Now, young, educated and thoughtful women have decided to solve the problem themselves.Appalled by the horror stories of Jewish women trapped by their husbands and Jewish law, and disappointed by the inability or unwillingness of rabbis to find a solution, they have decided to act. Increasingly, these women are changing the wedding ceremony. They are doing away with "kiddushin," the process by which a Jewish husband "acquires" his wife and "owns" her.I recently attended the beautiful traditional Orthodox wedding of two highly educated young people. It was a joyous occasion for all of those in attendance as we joined the happy family and the loving couple. However, when the handsome groom put a ring on her finger and said "at mekudeshet li" to his beautiful bride, I felt a pang of sadness. With those words and the ring, he acquired her and she became his "property."Should their marriage break down for any reason, she will not be able to remarry unless and until he consents to give her a get. Should he become mentally incompetent or comatose, she will be unable to remarry so long as he is alive.I have every reason to believe that this lovely couple will have a long and happy marriage, but the reality is that one of every three marriages will end in divorce. Modern marriage is not easy, and too often couples find that they cannot continue their marital relationship.When there is marital breakdown, Jewish women find that they carry a special burden. They need their husband's consent in order to divorce and remarry. We're all familiar with the terrible stories of men who refuse to consent, holding their wives hostage as they bargain for exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for their agreement to the divorce.While pre-nuptial agreements can be helpful in preventing this problem, they do not solve every case and many couples do not wish to sign them.Unwilling to be caught in this trap, an increasing number of Jewish women and their partners worldwide are changing the wedding ceremony by doing away with "kiddushin."It's quite simple, actually. A distinguished professor of Talmud at Bar-Ilan University published an academic article on solutions to the problem of agunot several decades ago in which he suggested that one word in the Jewish wedding ceremony be changed. Instead of saying "at mekudesht li," (you are consecrated to me), the groom says "at meyuchedet li." This means that she is "special" to him, and is not "owned" by him.The couples claim that they are getting married "in the manner of kiddushin" without actually invoking kiddushin as to acquisition. By doing away with kiddushin, the ceremony is traditional and beautiful, but not binding. In other words, this is not a Jewish marriage based on acquisition. Therefore, should the marital relationship break down in the future, the wife will not need a get and will be free to remarry and have children.She will be able to sit with us at the seder table as a free woman and celebrate the festival of freedom like all other Jews worldwide.The author, a Jerusalem-based attorney, is director of the International Jewish Women's Rights Project of the International Council of Jewish Women. She served as the only woman on the Israeli Commission to Appoint Dayanim from 2003-2009.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year Heads to Big Screen
HSM 3 Heads to Big Screen; Senior Year Is Tough, Step-Ball-Change
According to a Disney press release, the High School Musical kids are heading to the big screen for their senior year. High School Musical 3: Senior Year will hit theaters Oct. 24 and reunite teeny bopper faves Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman.
Walt Disney Studios Production president Oren Aviv stated, "This latest musical adventure delivers lots of great new entertainment on an even grander scale. Kenny Ortega brings his enormous talents to this project and Peter Barsocchini has come up with a wonderfully inventive script that delivers plenty of delights and surprises."
Surprises! What kinds of surprises? "[The movie] finds high school seniors Troy and Gabriella facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future." If there's anything to be learned from the HSM movies it's that there's nothing in life — or high school! — so difficult it can't be resolved with a reflective musical.
