This is the time of year when we're all supposed to pause and reflect on all the highs (and lows) of the previous 350+ days, right? While this has been an incredible year for my family on so many different levels (Buddy starting kindergarten, Mimi transforming from a chubby infant to a precocious toddler, etc.), what really stands out for me – personally – are my accomplishments as a runner. As a runner! I still sometimes feel like I'm talking about someone else, even though I have the new PRs and medals to prove it.
A number of my fellow running bloggers have been sharing their 2012 "Year in Running," and as we close out the year, I felt compelled to join in. Here are my reflections on what has been an incredible and rewarding journey:
Number of Races Completed?
Best Race Experience?
I'm torn. Part of me wants to say the Milford 5K Road Race & Walk in September, where I finished 3rd in my age group and received my first running medal! But I think my answer would have to be the Ladybug 5K in October. I felt horrible that day and wasn't planning on setting any kind of record; in fact, I probably would have bagged on the race altogether if Buddy wasn't excited to participate in the Kids Fun Run. And to my utter shock and amazement, I set a new PR … and came within seconds – seconds! – of a sub-25 5K, a lofty goal I never dreamed possible. Now it is #1 on my 2013 fitness bucket list (check it out tomorrow).
Biggest accomplishment?
Knowing that in one year (from October 2011-October 2012), I shaved nearly 7 minutes off my 5K time, and went from running 9:30 minute/miles to finishing closer in the 8 minute/mile range. All in the course of a year. I am still shaking my head a bit at this.
Best run?
Honestly, I think it would have to be my post-Thanksgiving ru n in rural Pennsylvania. I wasn't aiming for any specific time or distance; I was just enjoying the fresh air and the experience of running in an entirely new environment, and for the first time, I wasn't swearing under my breath at all the rolling hills.
Best new piece of gear?
Tie: my new Brooks Glycerin 10 sneakers and my Lululemon Pacesetter skirt .
Best piece of running advice you received?
I know it's silly, but I am incredibly motivated by all the random running mantras, quotes, photos and phrases that you see people pinning on Pinterest or posting on their Facebook pages. Maybe it's because I work in the marketing field, so I think it terms of taglines and slogans, but those phrases – like this and this – really strike a chord with me. I'm not gonna lie: I sometimes repeat them to myself over and over again on particularly challenging runs.
Most inspirational runner?
I honestly don't think I could choose just one because I am truly inspired by all my fellow runners – especially all the other running moms out there.
If you could sum up your running year in a couple of words, what would they be?
Hard work. Determination. Commitment. Joy. Passion.
How would you answer some of these questions? Post your responses below or write about it on your own blog.
See you in 2013!

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes New Yorker staff writer George Packer for a discussion of the impact of Silicon Valley on society and politics. Topics covered include: the implications of technology for the status of the American worker, for American culture, and for economic inequality. Amazon and the consequences of its business model for the publishing industry are discussed. President Obama's response to the 2008 economic crisis is also analyzed. Recorded on 03/19/2014.
Rupture and Invention: The Changing Nature of Employment, the Vanishing Middle Class, and the Implications for Social Policy
Many middle-class Americans grew up certain they would achieve the same or higher level of success than their parents had: by going to college, working many years for one employer and retiring with a pension. But starting as early as the 1970s, that tradition started to erode, says Katherine V.W. Stone, the Arjay and Frances Fearing Miller Professor of Law at UCLA. She argues that the reality today is not long-term attachment, but short-term, episodic employment and other relationships to the job market, be it part-time work or as an independent contractor or an entrepreneur. It is a dramatic change with far reaching implications.

Indigenous Rights in Latin America: What Kind of Freedom Do They Offer? With Nancy Postero -- Degrees of Freedom
Anthropologist Nancy Postero describes the political rise of indigenous peoples in Latin America, as they called for more recognition from the state and more inclusive forms of citizenship. Where that was impossible, they sought international attention by demanding human rights, especially human rights to culture. Postero explores what kinds of freedom these two frameworks of rights offer and how the struggles of indigenous peoples demonstrate the contradictions and limitations of liberal notions of rights.

32 year old man | Long Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 40 miles of Costa Mesa, CA
Some people never go mad; what truly horrible lives they must lead
I am 30 and have a career that I love. I have a few friends that I've had since I was in elementary school. I have brothers and sisters that I am friends with and parents that are still together and happy. I know who I am and I'm happy with the man I've become. I am smart and capable and get along with people easily. I'm fun to be around and my personality, which is impulsive and brutal at times ,might turn some people off but that is also what has endeared me to people who have been drawn to me over the years. Babies and animals love me. No joke I stay fit by going to the gym, surfing, hiking and snowboarding. I can drink and party with the best of them but don't have an addictive personality. I listen to music loud and wake up early. I want a strong beautiful woman with a good job and a sunny personality. I try to stay positive and I need someone to remind me when I'm not. Please be fit and look great in a bathing suit. As for interests, I'm a firm believer in enjoying my life. I don't have a huge house in Temecula with a matching mortgage but I do book impromptu trips to New Orleans (going to Voodoo Fest in Nov). And love snowboarding trips to Whistler or lounging in Bali. Anything else is better found out in person. See you soon.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs, Exotic Pets
Red Tail Boa Constrictor named Pam. Animals always liked me so i hope to have lots more some day
Some other viewpoint
I love trips to Mammoth and Vegas! I grew up going to the river at Parker and Laughlin and can't see stopping that tradition. Most recently visited Bali and Costa Rica but even a weekend camping at Carlsbad or Joshua Tree is just fine by me
California State University, San Marcos, San Marcos, CA
I collect a lot of music but whenever 90's rock comes on I can't resist turning it up. Rock shows are the most fun, I've been to Coachella a couple times and appreciate good Dj's. Reggae in the summer lounging at the beach puts a smile on my face.
I recently picked up surfing having moved so close to the beach. I used to go to Padres and Chargers games quite a bit but i might have to adopt some new teams. Camping, snowboarding, seeing live shows I'm down for whatever.....pretty much
I like Bukowski, Vonnegut and Graham Greene, Ken Kesey and Christopher Moore. I'm always getting books from my friends that amaze me, The Passage most recently.

Select the profile, then insert three like cutters into the slots of the molding cutter. An Allen screw goes through each of the cutters to attach them to the plate. Use an Allen wrench to tighten them in place.
Mount the molding cutter on the arbor of the table saw.
Use a throat plate insert (Image 1) designed for the cutter blades chosen.
Tip: Use a board attached to the fence to hold down the board that's being profiled. This will help make cleaner cuts. When making the cut, move through the cut slowly and keep even pressure on the board (Image 2).

Trillium Projects
Seattle, Washington
The story of the Trillium Projects that began in Seward Park with the Starflower Foundation has continued with five additional projects that express the same underlying mission – to create a new urban ecology that works with nature and the city. We refer to this body of work as the Trillium Projects, after our native Western Trillium, one of the most delicate and beautiful characters of an evolving urban native plant community. The six sites of the Trillium Projects form a network of park landscapes, fine-tuned for environmental education, that represent a succession of biological communities from the woods to the water's edge. Download a map of all of the sites on the Washington Native Plant Society's restoration page.

Robo Raven appears on 60 Minutes
Footage from the Maryland Robotics Center is part of the Drones over America segment shown on CBS News' 60 Minutes on March 16. In the segment, veteran correspondent Morley Safer explores various types of micro air vehicles, the domestic uses to which they may be put, and the questions about safety and privacy that arise from their use. A clip of the micro air vehicle Robo Raven, developed by Professor S.K. Gupta's (ME/ISR) and Professor Hugh Bruck's (ME) research group, is seen flying starting at the 12:16 mark of the segment. Robo Raven is the first flapping-wing MAV with independently flapping, programmable wings. It also can be programmed to perform any desired motion, enabling the bird to perform aerobatic maneuvers. The current version of Robo Raven has solar panel wings. | View the 60 Minutes segment | View Robo Raven videos on the Maryland Robotics Center YouTube website:| Robo Raven | Robo Raven Twins Learning Aerobatics! | Robo Raven III: Integrating Solar Cells into Wings | Robo Raven Dives with Onboard Camera |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bible Belt's bogeyman still haunts town
It took just over an hour to drive back in time; from Winnipeg back to the pastoral, peaceful and prosperous Mennonite community of Altona.
Back to the scene of the horrific crime. Not to the actual white wood-frame house that, in 1990, a 17-year-old town-bully named Earl Giesbrecht doused with gasoline and set aflame in an attempt to destroy any trace of his bloody hand slashing the throats of two younger boys, sexually assaulting one of them and leaving both for dead.
In the process, Giesbrecht became the Bible Belt's real bogeyman.
A year later at trial, Giesbrecht was quoted as calling himself a "monster." He lay the blame for his monstrous acts on someone who allegedly molested him at age five.
The defence also tried to characterize Giesbecht as insane. It didn't work.
His lawyer at the time, Sheldon Pinx, went on to reference another of his client's claims and rationalizations: He was the one who had been verbally bullied for being gay, both by his victims and by the community at large.
"He was at war and... his enemy was the community," Pinx argued.
Now, nearly 23 years after Giesbrecht was sentenced to life in prison, a tribunal of the national parole board is in the midst of a process that already has him walking among us again.
The bogeyman is said to have been spotted in the Bible Belt, if not Altona proper. One of his victims, the one who survived, has already made a return appearance himself. Tyler Pelke was 14-years-old when he staggered out of the burning house, bound, bleeding from a 12-centimetre gash to his throat and on fire. He still managed to scrawl the name of the person who did it.
Two years ago, the now 36-year-old Pelke went back to Altona. He needed to warn the town Earl was getting out. Unless the parole board could be convinced otherwise, come November 2015 -- 25 years after his conviction for murdering Tyler's 15-year-old high school goaltending partner, Curtis Klassen -- Earl Giesbrecht would be eligible for release from prison.
He need to warn the town, even if Giesbrecht will forever be on parole. And even if, despite Giesbrecht's family living in Altona, the parole board would never permit his return to the town.
Tyler tried to encourage the town folk to speak up, to tell the parole board about the impact Giesbrecht had on individuals prior to the premeditated attack, how the community of 3,700 as a whole was Giesbrecht's third victim, even before that night.
But as Tyler told me on the weekend, no one has spoken up, at least not officially to the parole board. Which is why -- after someone from Altona emailed me in anticipation of this week's parole board hearing where Giesbrecht could be granted unescorted day passes -- I accepted an invitation to join a group of mostly senior-aged men who gather each morning for coffee at the town's Chicken Chef. But only after I assured them they wouldn't be quoted by name.
Nearly a quarter century later, they still fear the bogeyman that much.
"Most people are too afraid to talk," one of them explained.
Even when they related several specific stories as examples of Giesbrecht's threatening and intimidating behaviour before the murder, they asked me not to share them for fear Giesbrecht might link the source of the stories to them individually.
What irked the Chicken Chef regulars was, in their view, Giesbrecht is still playing his manipulative games, still playing victim by accusing the town of bullying him -- blaming the real victims for what he did.
"He was a bully who tormented smaller kids and parents," said one of the men. "No one ever bullied Earl. I get so pissed when I read Earl's sob story about being a victim. Not true. He is a psychopath-sociopath who I'm afraid can't be cured."
Actually, the Crown's psychiatrists and psychologists described him as "sadistic," with an anti-social personality disorder.
Not psychotic.
In other words, he's no Vince Li.
The truer comparison is Paul Bernardo. Giesbrecht knew what he was doing and planned it precisely. Prior to the attack, he told a schoolmate he wanted to kill someone before he was 18 and to feel what it was like to do it with a knife.
The only reason he was caught, the only reason he didn't have an opportunity to do it again, was because of Tyler Pelke's bravery and resolve to live.
Or so a retired Mountie told me years later. He didn't want to be quoted by name, either.
Apparently the only person who isn't afraid of the Bible Belt bogeyman is Tyler Pelke.
Oh, yes, and the parole board members who seem determined to let him serve the rest of his life among us.
They'd never let Paul Bernardo out.
They shouldn't let Earl Giesbrecht out, either.

Mosley, 31, started eight of 15 game last season, and finished with 26 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble. He along with Ndamukong Suh anchored the defensive line and helped Detroit's unit finish No. 1 against the run, and No. 2 in overall defense.
>> Want more NFL offseason? >> Mock drafts | Free agency tracker
Meanwhile, safety Don Carey (ankle), wide receiver Calvin Johnson (ankle), defensive end George Johnson (illness), defensive tackle C.J. Mosley (not injury related), linebacker Ashlee Palmer (quad) and guard Rob Sims (illness) were labeled as probable.
Caldwell said Mosley's situation was an internal matter. Caldwell isn't sure if Mosley will face further action from the league, calling it an NFL and NFLPA issue.
Mosley will not be eligible to play until next Sunday against Miami.
The 6-2, 235-pound Mosley displayed his athleticism in the spring, leaping high to intercept passes, the report said. Both Mosley and Brown, a second-round pick last year, will play a lot no matter who starts.
"Suh wasn't late to one meeting, or have any outbursts, or show any dominance over the head coach," Mosley wrote in an email to Michigan Live. "From what I've seen, they had a very good relationship. Not one argument, blowup, or even an incident where he disrespected the head coach. He's nowhere near a monster."
The claims against Suh by the players were imparted to former NFL fullback Heath Evans, who relayed them to a Detroit radio station.

State regulated reserve requirements. Insurance companies must hold a portion of their assets as either cash or marketable investments. Statutory reserves are the amount of liquid assets that firms must hold in order to remain solvent and attain partial protection against a substantial investment loss. Holding reserves reduces the risk of insurance.

Statutory reserves lead insurance companies to lose some potential profits as they are unable to invest these funds into mutual funds or other forms of high yield investments. However, holding reserves increases investor confidence that the company will be able to fulfill its commitment in a bear market. Some insurance companies hold additional capital, voluntary reserves.

DigitalMR is launching eViewer, a brand new application that enables any company with an online presence to observe how customers interact and react to their websites, video clips, online games, mobile apps, advertisements. Advertising agencies, marketing firms, product managers, start-ups, website designers, marketers and SEO professionals can all benefit from this application. Although web usability is not a new concept or product, in the setting of market research it serves to add to the arsenal of tools used for co-creation within private online communities, all of which are solutions offered by DigitalMR.
Web usability is the bedrock of any e-commerce business and DigitalMR's eViewer will aid clients in better understanding how their customers respond to their online digital stimuli. eViewer records the customer's full screen activity as well as their facial expressions, emotions, context and verbal commentary through their webcam providing a whole picture of the user-experience. eViewer enables testing for apps on mobile devices and desktops/laptops alike and can be accessed by almost any client anywhere. The tool can be accessed for free with the option of upgrading to monthly subscriptions, which offers more use across any web assets including social media networking sites and micro sites. Participants can be recruited by the client themselves or DigitalMR can supply target users to match specific demographic requirements both B2B and B2C.
This move is in line with DigitalMR's long-term vision of developing more DIY market research tools. It is in this spirit DigitalMR's CEO, Michalis Michael, said: "I am very excited about offering eViewer as a Software as a Service, a unique usability tool that can help companies dramatically increase visitor to customer conversion rates. Everyone should have an e-commerce angle and if they don't they will soon."

Ben told me yesterday that his new year's resolution was "to hope that the economics improve." It was a sweet statement, but I couldn't help notice that it involved no work on his part–unless you count as work worrying about something over which you have no control. My resolution is less noble, and it also requires no work …

They ride great. I would definitely recommend them. I had a friend that ran racelands on his wagon, these are at least 200% better. Plus they are only $500 shipped.
It's a real slug for sure. The bad thing is I will probably go air before I get to the motor and trans :(
Thanks for all the replies ! It's been a ton of fun messing with this wagon. But what to...
Hell, I figured I would update this thread.

Metropolitan by COMO, London
Old Park Lane, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Mayfair
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Metropolitan is the apotheosis of the trendy boutique hotel concept—and we don't mean 'trendy' in a pejorative sense, but rather as a simple statement of fact. Some hotels aim to impersonate down-home country charm, others old-money aristocracy; the Metropolitan, and the genre it stands for, aims to welcome guests into an exclusive society that appreciates the most minute signifiers of cool, from the sleek black designer uniforms on the receptionists to the meticulously feng shui'd guest rooms, minimal and Zen, yes, but not trying too hard—that would be fashion suicide.
Some hotels of this sort put on an impressive show, then lose your dry cleaning and short-sheet your bed; the Metropolitan earns its cachet (and repeat business) by actually delivering the experience that the atmosphere promises. You could do worse than to stay in a hotel with Como's signature Shambhala spa, right in the middle of London, and as a bonus the Shambhala bath amenities stack up nicely against the own-brand products you've no doubt acquired from other hotel bathrooms.
Granted, the Metropolitan experience can be an intimidating one for those wallflowers who tremble at the thought of eating somewhere like Nobu, but as you're a guest, you'll get your table, and the same goes for the popular Met Bar.
The best part, though, is that none of this matters once you're in your room. Some hip bar & boarding-house hotels leave you with an empty feeling once the party's over, and you're left to contemplate the puzzle of your needlessly complex lighting controls and that damned transparent bathroom wall. Not so at the Metropolitan; something about the stripped-down simplicity and the thoughtful luxuries like those Egyptian cotton sheets will make you wonder why you weren't off to bed earlier, and there are certainly worse fates than to wake up with a postcard-perfect view of Hyde Park.
How to get there:
Metropolitan London is a 5-minute walk from the Hyde Park Corner tube station. If you're arriving from Heathrow Airport, the most convenient transfer option to central London is the Heathrow Express train, which leaves Heathrow Airport every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Paddington Station. One-way fares are available from £18 and round-trip fares from £32. By black cab, the Metropolitan London is approximately a 45-minute ride from Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) and can cost upwards of £50.

Everything was fantastic in the hotel and the room except for two disappointments... the bed wasn't terribly comfortable and the air conditioning control was difficult to adjust to a temperature we liked...

Despite being a very frequent customer at the hotel (more than 10 stays already this year alone), staff at check in rarely recognizes me. In addition, I have almost never been upgraded to a larger room. The gym facilities are a bit small, and would definitely benefit from newer weightlifting machines and for easier access which does not force you to go through the lobby every time. They should also consider installing walk-in showers instead of the very inconvenient bath tubs which take up a lot of the bathroom space (which is quite small indeed).
