Cunard's three-ship fleet will to complete 106 voyages, visiting 99 ports and 35 countries in 2013.

In late August she will reposition to the Mediterranean to embark on a series of Mediterranean Fly-Voyages from Venice, Civitavecchia (for Rome) and Piraeus (for Athens).
In December Queen Elizabeth will return to Southampton for two roundtrip voyages – a 10 night voyage to Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and a two week Christmas and New Year Western Mediterranean sailing to Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Rome.
Voyage durations range from just two-nights to a 22-night Southampton-Venice voyage

Baby Mitten Blue Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Filling a stocking full of gifts, airplanes and teddy bears for a new baby boy is truly a joy to celebrate his first Christmas. This personalized baby boy ornament has room for a saying or 1st Christmas announcement on the top of the baby blue plaid stocking and a name on the yellow star beneath the smiling face of a new bundle of boy. Get a personalized baby's first Christmas ornament for a newborn baby! Because the back on this ornament is flat, it makes a great package topper on a baby shower gift or baby gift for a newborn boy.
Material: Resin
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

Someone actually offered to hit my son for me.
By TheOrangeRhino on October 09, 2012
Dear Friendly's,
You should print on your menus that all customers should be Friendly in order to eat at your restaurant. And perhaps a reminder that it is a family friendly restaurant, ie. that kids will be there. Oh and perhaps a note that sometimes kids make, get this…noise.
Just a thought,
The Orange Rhino
Fact: My #3, age 3 with a speech delay and other "issues" has a tendency to yell and scream when frustrated. It is a known problem. We are working on it.
Fact: My #3 has made a lot of progress over the last year and a half. A lot of progress.
Fact: My #3 has worked hard – at speech therapy and occupational therapy to overcome his struggles.
Fact: My #3 is a love. Oh and a PERSON with areas of improvement. Like all of US.
Fact: I do not accept screaming in public.
Fact: I don't yell and I don't hit. I don't believe in either. But I do still believe in discipline. And I believe with practice I can do so without said yelling and without hitting.
Fact: I work hard to love my children, to help my children, and to accept them despite their challenges.
Fact: I love my #3 fiercely. We have been reproached several times when he has one of his fits. I used to take it personally. I used to be angry at him. I used to be embarrassed by him. I used to allow others who yelled and criticized me to make me feel smaller.
FACT: I AM DONE feeling ashamed of how hard I am working to help my child with his struggles. I am done making excuses for the challenges he faces. I am done taking it all personally. Because I know my son and I are working our as*es off to improve. I am working harder every time to stay calm and to help him (which is what he needs…he does NOT need to be hit or yelled at, he needs me to teach him and help him. He needs me to try and understand him, what he is trying to say and what he can't say). And my son is working hard as h*ll to find his words, to calm down, to act more "appropriately." We as a team our trying really bl**dy hard and I am proud of us.
Today I proved to myself that I am changing, that we are changing and dam*it I feel proud. I am tooting my Rhino Horn loudly tonight.
While at Friendly's tonight for #1's birthday #3 screamed. I promptly picked him up and brought him to the door for a break. We returned. His shirt got wet. He screamed again. I frantically dried his shirt and worked hard to soothe him while my baby started fussing because he didn't have a crayon? Gosh knows why he was fussing. I was trying HARD hard hard to soothe everyone, to gain control of my bunch of wonderful boys all excited to be celebrating a birthday. I was sweating BULLETS. Bullets because I knew eyes were watching me.
Would I succeed? Would I settle my brood? Oh the eyes for judging me for sure. So I sweat even more.
Then #3 let out one more scream because his napkin wrinkled the wrong way.
And that is when sh*t hit the fan.
Turns out one of those judging sets of eyes had a voice too. The older voice spoke:
"Why don't you bring him over here, I'll hit him for you and then take care of him. I'll make him shut up."
(I'm sorry. What? What did you dare just utter to me??? Did you just volunteer to hit my kid? What makes you think I wanted to do that in the first place?! I was absolutely AMAZED at her ridiculousness.)
Without blinking an eye, without sweating even more, without JUMPING across the table over to her's and throttling her, I ever so sweetly and politely replied:
"Oh, please don't talk to my son that way. It isn't nice and it isn't funny. He is a child. Both he and I are trying our hardest."
Then I took a drink of water, resisted all urge to throw it in her face, and turned back to my son wicked proud of myself for standing up for my son, for us.
"I love you #3. I know you are upset. It's okay. Do you need a hug?"
"Yes mommy. I love you."
This time sweat didn't drip down my face. Tears did. Lots of them. And for a change they weren't tears of defeat, tears of embarrassment, tears of fear, tears of frustration. They were tears of sheer joy.
The first time in 3 years my son has ever been able to speak those words without prompt.
I LOVE YOU. I'll say it again and again and again.
I can only imagine if I had lost it with him, or her. Pretty sure I wouldn't have heard those words. Tonight or for gosh knows how long. And let me tell you. It was outright AMAZING.
I know I have said it before. I know it is probably annoying and boring and all that jazz to be said again BUT…. I continue to be blown away by how this challenge, how learning to not yell, is benefiting my family and I in more ways than one. A year and half ago (read here)I never would have stood up for myself so eloquently. NEVER. But I have learned I CAN control myself and in doing so, I am way more powerful. How do I know?
The lady of the night? Well she didn't make another peep the entire meal. Oh, and for the record, neither did my son. He rocked the rest of the meal which for a 3 year old with some challenges is pretty fantastic.
P.S. If you are thinking of commenting, please remember this is a supporting, loving community. I am not intending to engage in the debate of is hitting kids right or wrong. Instead, I want to focus on how The Orange Rhino Challenge has many a benefits. That and that my son FINALLY said I LOVE YOU!!!

Shopping Guides
Best Uses for Casual Dinnerware Sets
Food is one of the great pleasures in life, and you can make it even more enjoyable with the right casual dinnerware set. The right dinnerware can act as your secret ingredient -- spicing up any and every meal with no extra effort on your part. Whether you're a food aficionado or a first-time hostess, a casual dinnerware set is a must-have for impromptu parties and daily use.
How to Choose Casual Dinnerware
Whether you're getting ready to set up house for the first time or you've been serving meals for years, you know that casual dinnerware is a household staple. If you've been using the same dishes for years, you might be due for an update: styles change, pieces get broken, the casual dinnerware you inherited from your mother-in-law has lost its luster. Casual dinnerware is perfect for everything from lunches to informal dinner parties. Learn how to choose casual dinnerware and get ready to entertain.
How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.
How to Register for Dinnerware
Beautiful dinnerware can be a surprisingly large investment for newlyweds. Originally designed to help couples acquire a full set of fine china, wedding registries often now include both the formal dishes and one or two sets of casual dinnerware. However, registries are quite flexible, and you can choose just the dinnerware you want -- whether you need complete sets or a few pieces to expand what you already have. If you make a list of the pieces you want before you start shopping, you can shop quickly and concentrate on style.
Tips on Buying Formal Dinnerware
Set your table elegantly for special occasions when you buy the right formal dinnerware for your home.

Read on for tips on buying formal dinnerware.
Dinnerware Buying Guide

Whether you need formal place settings for a holiday dinner or you just want to choose plates for weeknight meals, this dinnerware buying guide explains your options, so you can find the dishes that suit your life.
How to Care for Formal Dinnerware
The way you care for your formal dinnerware and fine china often depends on the material your dinnerware is made of. While antique dishes and bone china dinnerware will need more gentle care than stoneware place settings, you'll still want to preserve all of your tableware. Here are some tips and tricks to help you take care of your formal dinnerware and keep it looking its very best for years to come.
Best Dinnerware and Serveware for Your Home
Serve your family and friends in style with quality dinnerware and serveware. Whether you need everyday dinnerware for daily meals or stunning crystal serveware you can pull out on special occasions, you're sure to find the serving dishes you need with the following suggestions. Read on for tips on finding the best dinnerware, serveware and other kitchen dishes.
How to Set a Dining Table for 12
Hosting a dinner party is a lot of fun, whether you are just having friends over for a small celebration or family over to share a holiday meal. You likely already own most of the dinnerware, glasses and kitchen linens you need, and setting a dining table is a golden opportunity to use your fine kitchen linens and formal dinnerware that may have been collecting dust in your closet. While setting a table for 12 can be a bit intimidating, it is not a difficult or lengthy process, and your guests will be impressed by your hosting talents and knowledge of conventional etiquette.
How to Set a Dining Table
The ability to set a proper dining table is a vanishing art. It's often a miracle if the dinnerware gets used at all on a busy schedule, but it doesn't have to be that way: Learning how to set a dining table is easy and can be done in short order. By following this simple process, you will impress dinner guests with a classy and personalized dining table. Note that these instructions detail how to complete one proper setting. Simply repeat the process for each setting needed.
How to Set Round Dining Tables
If you are planning a formal dinner or a holiday party, setting one or more round dining tables is a smart way to design your occasion. With round dining tables, everyone can see each other and socialize easily. When setting round dining tables with formal dinnerware, there are few simple rules of dining etiquette to follow to make sure everyone gets their proper tableware. If you are throwing a formal dinner or holiday party, a well-set table creates a formal ambiance or a festive vibe for your guests to enjoy.
How to Set a Formal Table
Whether you're planning a formal dinner party at home or need to know the proper way to set a formal table for a larger event, such as a wedding reception or charity event, you'll need to know the items to include and the steps to follow to get it right. If you've never done it before, don't worry; no experience is necessary. You will need enough formal dinnerware, also known as place settings, as well as enough flatware and stemware to accommodate each of your guests.
Serveware Buying Guide
You're faced with a lot of options when you're shopping for kitchen and dining supplies for your home. From cookware and dinnerware to serveware and everything in between, choosing the right pieces while sticking to a budget can seem overwhelming. This serveware buying guide will help you figure out which serveware pieces you will need.
Table Setting Buying Guide
An elegant table setting sets the tone for a meal, guides your guests through the courses, and informs them of what's to come.

With this table setting guide, you'll be able to create beautiful table settings that will never be intimidating to your guests.
Carnelian Jewelry Fact Sheet
Ranging from glowing blood-red to deep burnt orange, carnelian jewelry has a rich and luxurious appearance. Carnelian is one of the birthstones for July, but beautiful pieces of carnelian jewelry can be worn in any season. Carnelian gems are commonly set into lavish pieces of jewelry, including brooches, earrings and necklaces. The gorgeous hues of this gemstone jewelry will enhance any ensemble and give your look plenty of color. Carnelian makes an impressive gift or perfect addition to practically any dressy or casual outfit.
Tennis Bracelet Fact Sheet
Although the tennis bracelet has evolved along with the rest of fashion over the last two decades, its original design as a basic row of diamonds is still popular today. Diamond bracelets such as the tennis bracelet are one of the most coveted pieces of jewelry. With diamonds or other small stones set in a symmetrical pattern around the entire perimeter of the bracelet, this versatile piece of jewelry will flatter a casual outfit or accent a formal dress.
How to Tell If Something Is Microwave Safe
Many bowls and plates are considered microwave safe; however, if you use the wrong dish, you could ruin both the dinnerware and the dinner. Microwaves are convenient appliances, but there are a few precautions you should know about when it comes to your dishes. Always check to see if a dish is microwave safe before using it in the microwave. Some containers can break, melt or scald you. Some containers can also damage your microwave, such as foil-lined containers. Microwave-safe dishes can be used to both cook and store food. Non-microwave safe containers can only be used for storage or serving.
Malachite Jewelry Fact Sheet
If you love the look of turquoise or azurite, consider adding a piece of malachite jewelry to your collection. One of the world's most recognizable stones, malachite has many interesting attributes. Malachite jewelry can be worn with formal or casual attire. Most often set in silver or white gold, malachite gems are equally stunning on a leather string. Unique malachite jewelry such as malachite earrings, malachite necklaces and malachite gem bracelets are versatile and can complement many styles and outfits.
Advantages of a 5-Piece Expandable Luggage Set
The next time you go on vacation, consider taking a 5-piece expandable luggage set to hold all your gear. A luggage set this large might seem too big for all but the longest trips, but there are many advantages to five-piece sets that make them worth having. These luggage options store easily despite their number, provide tons of room for everything you need and aren't just for annual week-long trips to visit Grandma. If you've ever thought about purchasing a 5-piece expandable luggage set but haven't been able to justify it, keep reading to learn about the advantages of this kind of luggage.
Best Reasons to Buy Cookware Sets
If you're shopping for pots and pans, you'll need to decide if you want to buy a set or buy them individually. While many chefs prefer to shop for individual pieces, there are several reasons why you would choose to buy a cookware set for your kitchen. If any of these situations sound like yours, then buying a set is for you.

What's going on with this BlueBerry?
Fellow growers,
This Darrow Variety Blueberry I planted last spring and it kind of just sat there but looked healthy enough. This spring it took off and then about a month ago it just stopped and has gotten progressively worse. In the last two weeks the number of yellow leaves have doubled.
It's planted in a good soil mix of bark and peat and has received two applications of ammonium sulf and one of miracle grow this spring/summer. What's weird is all the plants on either side of it are doing well.
Any ideas?
From the pic it looks like the yellowing is on one side of the plant? Looks like your using drip irrigation. Is the plant getting watered on that side? Blueberry plant roots feed the side of the plant that they are growing on. If thats the side the water is being delivered I would lean toward a ph issue. I would sprinkle alittle iron sulfate around the bush and see if it greens up for you. If so then a couple hand fulls of sulfer will do you all the good. The plant looks to be in good shape though. Just some minor adjustments should have you back in buisness. You are using well water right??? Could the plant be getting too much water??? Maybe the water ph is at fault???
The soil is very fast draining. I don't think it's a pH issue altho I don't know that for certain since my soil test was a random test for the entire group of plants. Too much water? That's possible.........thanks for the ideas. I hope it doesn't die, it's a good sized plant. To try and save it I cut back some of the top branches yesterday.

I won't go so far as to say that I have no interest in MMOs. That's not precise. The truth is that I'm a guy who sunk 150+ hours into Oblivion and 100+ hours into Dragon Quest VIII in the last year alone, so I fear that something like World of Warcraft would break me. Literally, I would be pieces. So interest isn't the problem, although I feign apathy, the real issue is more of survival.
Also, I haven't had a gaming PC for several years now. WoW runs on my preferred Mac platform so that is troubling, but other titles like City of Heroes and Guild Wars are out of my reach anyway. That makes it somewhat easier to pretend they don't exist. But I do still dream sometimes about building a box that would be capable of running modern PC games; I'm usually held back by the required investment that typically dwarfs what it would cost for a new console. Well, that and the savage panthers my wife keeps behind an iron gate which bears a sign reading, "Do Not Open Unless Paul Buys a PC." They're beautiful creatures, those panthers, but their hungry growls suggest strongly that nothing good could come from the opening of that gate.
The temptation of MMO and that of PC procurement exist as separate entities which apart are not too difficult to overcome and which combined represent such a terrifying potential for disaster (also, mauling) that mostly I carry on my daily life without concern. Unfortunately, there was bound to come a juxtaposing variable that would catch me off guard like a ninja or a wolf disguised as a sheep. Or perhaps a wolf disguised as a ninja-sheep, with tufts of white wool peeking through hastily wrapped black cowls that hide vicious fangs and hidden throwing stars. The variable is Tabula Rasa, an action MMO by Richard Garriot that sounds from descriptions like a curiously compelling blend of Halo, Battlefield and WoW.
It was easier when the game was struggling in development, scrapped and approached anew every so often which gave it the air of vaporware. I suppose underestimating Garriot was foolish in hindsight, but I learned a long time ago not to dwell on the past because it's a good way to realize just how great a fool I truly am. But now the game looks like it is actually near completion and I'm scared. I won't go so far as to say I'm to the point of cowering, but I heard the panthers yowl last night and I admit, the crown of my head could not be seen outside the protective shield of the covers.
Don't believe me? Look for yourself:

Dishwasher left or right side of sink?
I installed a new undercounter dishwasher in the same place as always, the right side when facing the sink. My wife comes up tonight and says it is a left side dish washer because the silverware basket is designed to set along the right (far) side of the lower rack. This would mean if that unit was installed in a left side of sink arrangement the silverware basket would be near the person standing in front of the sink and loading. Frankly I don't see any big difference, ableit I am a good bit taller (if that helps). I don't think dishwasher manufacturers make two basket arrangements, one for the left, and one for the right side of sink installation.
What do you think, know?
Ours continues to be on the right side. The "problem" in my wife's mind is the space for the table-ware holder/rack is on the right side of the lower master basket. The dividers are so arranged so that the most efficient way to load dishes is to put the table-ware basket in its place. She was happy putting the TW basket out of position in front, horizontal with the door, but on the new dishwasher (now water-saving design) that position somewhat blocks spray flow to the soap dispenser, so now she thinks it must be that the TW basket should be on the left side of the master basket so that it would be next to one's leg, standing with the DW on the right. Then they would not have to reach over the dishes to reach the basket on the right side. This concern has let her to think they sold us a dishwasher for a left side installation. There is nothing in the installation guidelines that suggests one side over the other, and I tell her we didn't buy the wrong model, that layout is what manufacturer provides, for installation on either side. I have no problem with the TW basket on the left side. Well, no problem other than as noted.
Guess what? Saturday and I happen to pass through Lowes.
I walked by the display of dishwashers, I suppose at least 20 of them on display. I didn't look in each one, but did a good sample of models/makes and found about half of them (Whirlpool among them) had the utensil basket in the door. I read sometime back in Consumer Reports (I think it was) that the door arrangement was not as good as down in the main basket. Well of the rest I found all but one with the utensil basket on the right side, just like ours. The other had the basket in the middle.
I'm with you. Something has got to be on the far side from where you stand, and it's either the silverware or the dishes...so what? I see this as a distinction without a difference. Your wife is a fortunate person if this is the biggest problem in her life at the moment!
Reach over the dishes to get to the silverware or reach over the silverware to get the dishes. I'm picky about these kinds of things, but I don't get this one. I don't believe there are right side and left side dishwashers.
Since I like to live on the edge and I place my knife blades UP, it would be safer for me to have the silverware on the far side of the dishwasher.
I've got bad news for you guys, or for the guys if some are gals, this gets worse with time, not better. I am approaching my 50th wedding anniversary. Sorry, life doesn't get easier.
My main reason for posting the question was to find out if I was too simple minded to believe there is a right-side and left-side dishwasher design. This is the complaint I got, and that the sales person didn't do their job because they didn't tell us. Now that tells you something about what I am up against :>(
I hear your pain. Most of us have been through some version of this, just with another issue. At any rate, from one simple-minded guy to another, I can affirm that left-handed dish washers only exist in a parallel universe where people use left-handed hammers and left-handed wrenches. Now if we could only convince your wife....
Jerry, is there anyway, you could move it to the other side to please your wife? I have never heard of a left hand or right hand side dishwasher, so I asked a sales person, they have never heard of it either. In any case, I do know that a dishwasher location can feel awkward to some people. I have had mine on the left hand side for many many years, but we just moved this summer, and this house has it on the right side. To me it is just awkward, because I like my dishes on the right hand side of the sink, but I dont want to have to reach over an open dishwasher to put them away, so now have them on the left. I am sure I will eventually get used to it, but right now, it is a pet peeve for me. If I could possibily grow about 6 inches in height, then maybe I would actually be able to have them up in the cabinet to the right of the sink, but since I am 70 yrs old, doubt that will happen. Good Luck to you.
I suppose it might be possible to find, either from the same company or from DW with similar spec's, a new lower master basket that has the utensil basket on the "correct" side--such might be available as on occasion one breaks. Likely not to be cheap,though. Maybe an anniversary present?
Does the DW manufacturer have a replacement lower rack with the silverware basket on the other side? It migt be worth a call.
Pass, indeed. I've already taken the "dear" to smooth the waters... I say "just leave the dishes, I'll load the dishwasher", better that than have her find something else.
I've already stated we've been married almost 50 years, so while I still haven't figured "it" all out, I've developed some defensive strategies... albeit more work for me. Still, she is a good cook, and does spend some time fixing a nice dinner most nights. And as you could guess by the length of time we've been married, I'm retired and need something to do anyway.
This dishwasher started off with at lease one strike against it. First she wanted a washer with the controls on the upper edge, so the front had no visible controls, just a full width handle, otherwise a flat white surface. Our last maching was stainless steel inside, as most of the upper price models are. After reading in Consumer Reports (no longer a favorite of mine for other reasons) I learned that stainless adds nothing but cost. So while we got a machine with "hidden" controls, it is "plastic" inside. So, better she doesn't have to look inside: that's two strikes: utensil basket location, and not stainless.
I think the machine does a good job, it is bigger than our past model, so we get two days (if I push) per wash and it uses less hot water, this sums to big energy$$ savings. Since these were my main goals in getting a new dishwasher, I can figure that's my pay for "doing the dishes". Yes, I know how good a job the machine does because I also empty the dishwasher.
Ours is in a corner of the cabinets to the left of the kitchen sink and the silverware goes on the right side which is okay. The problem is in the planning of the kitchen when the door is open on the DW it blocks two of the cabinet doors where pots and pans are stored so they are close to the stove so you have to place the items on the counter and close the DW to put them up. This is no huge deal but if the DW was on the right side of the sink it would not block access to any cabinets when open, but then the silverware holder would have to be on the left UGH.
I told my fiance' jokingly when she was voicing what a pain it is for the dishwasher to be in the corner that it won't matter later because that is why the bride wears white.. so the dishwasher matches the stove and fridge. She gave me a quick laugh and really dirty look.

Hostess gift - Green Card Celebration Party
Our family has been invited to a party of a family who just received their Green Card. The people are very nice and have been in this country for several years from Denmark, and this is a big and exciting time for them. Since I'm not all that familiar with the whole process and what type of celebratory events take place in these situations, I'm wondering what to take. They have indicated that it's a simple after-dinner drinks and snack type of affair in their backyard around a fire and they do not wish for me to bring anything.
What would be a suitable item to take in this situation? I'm thinking that since she (the mom) and I both share a love of gardening that possibly a nice fall arrangement for indoors or out would be nice. I don't want to overdo it but would like to be gracious.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Good for your neighbors, they should be very proud. How about a fresh all-American apple pie or a book on American history as a gift? If you want to bring a plant, put a little American flag in it. Have fun at the party.
Thanks, dian. Great ideas, but the party was last night and I just saw it this a.m. I ended up going with a gift basket with some food items wrapped in decorative bags that said such things as "Call it Home" and wrapped in a ribbon with a little key hanging from it. Then a small photo album with a personalized front cover with a green alien graphic on it, and the alien was holding a sign and inside the sign read the family's name. Then "Celebating with our Resident Aliens" was displayed on the front and then the celebration date. Other food items also were in the basket. It was really cute, and I'm glad I decided against the bottle of wine. That was the standard gift. Nice but I wanted to put a little more thought into the gift.

Eating the right foods can help keep you healthy
By Jan Herbert
Rockford Park District
Whether you were "green" before the color was fashionable or whether you're just ready to find the "shade" that works best for you, here's information about doing just "one green thing."
Food For Health:
Everybody knows to use vitamin C to prevent a cold (with oranges, grapefruits, peaches and red pepper), but there are many other ways you can enjoy food and stay healthy:
Add garlic to your meals to fortify you against colds (you get them in the spring, too).
Did you ever notice Bugs Bunny having a headache? You could try eating lots of carrots to help reduce inflammation in the blood vessels of your brain. Stocking up on vegetable muffins can't be all bad!
You can get more moisture into your skin from the omega-3 of walnuts and they help keep your energy level up as well. If dry skin has already set in, until those walnuts do the job, you might want to try Redbook's recipe for Honey Yogurt Lotion—2 tablespoons of honey, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest and 1 cup iced black tea. Hummm…almost sounds like it could be another new cocktail name…a Honey Yogurt-tini?

Okay, I'm going to try and not make this 10,000 paragraphs long. But I'm not promising anything. :)
Team Shutt (that would be O and I) and our friend Ben left for Cambridge, MD on Friday afternoon. Ben, a training partner and one of O's co-workers, was going to be doing his first 70.3 and I have to say, I really enjoyed traveling with him. He is a breathe of fresh air and all the questions he had kept my mind busy before race day - which meant I WAS NOT thinking too much about my own race. Very, very nice. :)
Anyway, we had a lot of laughs throughout the day on Friday and Saturday. We had very in depth discussions about things like "what to do when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the race" and "if you were on death row, what you pick for your final meal". My last meal would be Sunchips, pizza and a chocolate xtreme Blizzard from DQ. Obviously. :)
On Saturday we did a little training including swimming in the Choptank River in our wetsuits. Holy hotness. This is when I secretly began praying the swim would not be wetsuit legal. In my 15 minutes of easy swimming on Saturday I thought my wetsuit was going to turn me into a puddle. I couldn't imagine swimming hard in it for 30 minutes.
Doing a little ride the day before the race with Ben.
Also on Saturday we drove the run and bike courses. Boy, they weren't kidding when they said the course at Eagleman is flat. Indeed, Eagleman makes Clearwater look hilly. :)
I slept great on Saturday night (always do) and awoke Sunday morning very excited at the fact that it hadn't stormed/rained overnight and it looked like it would stay dry during our race too. After Columbia, I was ready for a non-rain race! Of course it was also about 75 degrees with 1,342,432% humidity at 4 am, but hey, what can you do?
Needless to say, I was so excited to race. I was excited to do this new course. Excited to do this distance for the first time this year. Excited to see so many great friends that I've made through the past couple years. And finally, REALLY excited when they made the announcement that wetsuit were NOT legal. Thank God. I may melt later on in the run but at least I wasn't going to melt in the water too!
Oh, and excited to try and get a Kona slot.
I've gone back and forth about the Kona thing so many times. I had always thought that IF I ever got to do Kona I would like to qualify at a half IM and have Kona be my first full distance race. But then I started to see the negatives of that. And I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself to qualify for Kona because I feel like a lot of people really chase those slots and that's what it's ALL ABOUT and I really didn't want Kona to turn into that for me. There are so many other great opportunities and races in our sport.
However, if I was REALLY honest with myself, I truly did want that slot. Perhaps I just didn't want anyone to know I wanted that slot. :)
ANYWAY - time to race!
Swim was great and I mean great! I really don't like swimming in wetsuits because they make my shoulders so fatigued, so imagine my happiness when we got in that nice cool water without them! And all the chop that we had swam in the day before? GONE!
Even though Jen and I are in different age groups, they combined all the women 30-39 for one big swim wave, so we got to start together! I have a picture very similar to this one a few years ago when Jen and I both did St. Anthony's. I almost drowned that day. My swimming has come a long way. :)
Anyway, despite our big wave size I had a pretty contact free swim (except going around the buoys when we were catching the waves in front of us). I felt good and I swam relatively straight lines. And I exited the water in 33:xx. Ooops! Thought it was faster than that! Although looking back at the swim times EVERYONE (including the pros) were slow. When Sam Warriner (former ITU star) barely breaks 30 minutes, you know something is up. Everyone says the swim was long or they were blaming the slow times on the current. In truth it was no big deal because I KNEW I had a good swim as based on who I exited the water with. Oscar wasn't able to tell me what place I was in in my AG (since we started with the the 35-39 AG also) but after looking at the results, I was 4th out of the water for my group and less than a minute down from the leaders. Trust me when I say, that's an excellent swim for me!
And so begins the bike! Where my specific instructions were - CHILL OUT! :)
So chill out is what I did. I rode comfortably. I ate. I drank. In fact I took in close to 750 calories which is BY FAR the best I've ever done. I expected really heavy winds but never really felt them. I've heard very bad things about the bike winds on this course but I think we got a calm day yesterday (either that or I was expecting something much worse and when it didn't come I felt lucky :).
I was on the hunt for women in my AG but mostly all I found was women in the 50+ AG. I made the concious decision early on not to go with Suzy McCulloch because she was hammering from the start and that was not part of my plan.
So instead Petey and I just hummed along and tried to stay cool. Literally. Because it was getting REALLY hot.
Finally around mile 40 or so I caught someone in my AG and it was Mandy McLane. I was incredibly surprised because honestly I've never beaten Mandy and in fact I've never even caught her in a race because she is a really strong swimmer, and biker, oh and runner too. :) I suddenly worried that I was going too hard but my HR and effort level were in check so I just continued to push on.
Around mile 50 or so I caught Amie Krasnozon. Amie and I played a little cat and mouse for a bit and pretty much came into transition together. Overall I was very happy with my bike - a 2:27:37 split and 2nd in my AG.
As I was running into T2 I saw O and he told me I was in 2nd place and 90 seconds down. I knew Suzy was the one I was hunting down and I felt good about catching her on the run. However what I didn't feel good about was the fact that Amie and Mandy were right on my tail. Two very, very good runners.
Here we go! :)
Starting the run I felt like a big pile of pooh. And that's putting it nicely. I knew it was going to be a tough run - first because when we were coming in on the bike I saw the pro runners out on the run course and, quite frankly, they looked bad. And second, at this point it was in the 90s and Lord only knows the heat index. And everyone knows, running a hard half marathon when the temps are in the 90s isn't really that fun. :)
I expected to feel badly though so I was prepared and told myself repeatedly "you will be OK!" Plus for once I KNEW I hadn't gone too hard on the bike so I didn't have those demons or negatives in my head. Just put one foot in front of the other.
But boy did I feel bad. And nauseated. Yup, it was going to be one of THOSE runs. Ugh.
I swear I wasn't even a mile down the road when first Mandy came storming by me and then Amie. Like I was standing still. CRAP! Get your head in the game Shutt!
First things first I had to take care of my nausea. So I forced myself to throw up. That helped some but I knew more needed to come up. I'll spare you the details of the next 5 miles but it went a little like this - take some Gatorade, throw it up, try some gel, throw it up, decide I was done with anything but water and ice and still, throw up. It wasn't pretty.
But in between throwing up, I can usually get moving on the run (because my stomach feels temporarily better) so at around mile 4 or so I actually did catch Suzy and moved myself into 3rd place again.
Finally after the turn around point (the run is out and back) I threw up one last time (kind of) and REALLY started to feel better. OKAY - TIME TO RUN!
Now granted, I probably went from running 8:30 pace to running 7:45 pace but still, it felt like I was blazing. :)
My new goal was to survive from aid station to aid station. I would take ice and water every time and be SOOOO sad once I had drank all my water. At times I literally felt like I was going to melt right into the blacktop. And wow was there a lot of carnage out on the run course. Many people walking. Many people shuffling. Despite how slowly I was moving I was still passing people left and right.
I was going pretty well until about 2.5 miles left in the race. At which point I think my body had just had enough. Enough of the heat and enough of this running. If I hadn't been in survival mode before, now I was REALLY in survival mode.
It's hard to put into words when you are hurting that badly, what goes through your mind. I wanted to walk SOOOOO desperately. I truly did. And that's not a feeling I have often in races. But in those last few miles it was then that I realized that I really did want a Kona slot because in all honesty, the hope that I still MIGHT get a slot is the only thing that kept me moving forward, albeit extremely slowly.
You see I knew for sure that Mandy (who was winning our AG) didn't want the slot. And although I thought that Amie (who was in 2nd place) did, I deluded myself into thinking that our AG just might get 2 slots. And I knew Suzy wasn't far behind me. So it was time to get moving.
I saw Oscar with about 2 miles to go and of course he was ever encouraging and just seeing him lifted my spirits incredibly. I kept pushing, "one foot in front of the other" became my mantra. The time ticked on SOOOO slowly. WHERE in the world was that 12 mile marker? Finally I got there. Not soon after that I saw Lindsay J and she told me to "empty the tank". I smiled and again it really lifted my spirits. If only she knew, the tank was empty about 5 miles ago! :)
I refused to look back but I knew that Suzy had to be gaining on me. And I won't even mention my concern for the fact that my friend Jocelyn (who is an amazing runner) was probably also making up some serious time. Please, JUST HOLD ON!
FINALLY, I made it to the last stretch. And I saw Oscar and I could tell right away - Suzy was right behind me. O didn't even have to say anything, I could just tell by the way he was looking at me. And then he said it "Beth, you HAVE to go right now. You have to go."
My body was in shambles. Seriously. And now I had to sprint the last 0.1? Dear Lord, that is the LAST thing I wanted to hear. But you do what you have to do and I never would have forgiven myself if I DIDN'T get a Kona slot because I didn't want to feel a little additonal pain for another 45 seconds or so.
So I sprinted. And beat Suzy. Barely. When I crossed the line I knew my body was upset. I crumpled to the ground. Felt like I was going to die. Threw up about 5 more times. Apologized profusely to the volunteers for getting sick all over them. Race volunteers are the most awesome people in the world aren't they? They just told me it was okay and dragged me over to the med tent where I also found Mandy and Amie. Tough day to say the least. :)
Wanna know the funny part? AFTER the race I found out that Suzy already has a Kona slot (that she got last year). So I didn't really need that last sprint. Funny how things work out. :)
Oh my that run. My slowest half marathon by far (1:45:12) but you know what? I couldn't be more happy with it. I survived it and did the absolute best that my body would give on that day. And that's pretty much all we can ask for!
So after being revived in the med tent for a while and being reunited with O, I started thinking Kona. :) Again, I knew that Mandy didn't want the slot but I thought Amie did. I wanted to ask her but didn't know if that was rude, plus she was still in the med tent and that was not a good time to ask. :) I actually know Amie too! We met about 2 years ago in North Carolina when Oscar and I went to a masters swim with Bri Gaal while visiting my sister! At that time, Amie had just had knee surgery (or was just going to have it). I never imagined we'd be racing each other a few years later!
Finally the awards rolled around and I saw Amie sitting a few people down. I got up the courage to walk over and chat with her (she is so nice of course!) but before I could even say anything, she looked up at me and said "the slot is yours if you want it."
Well how about that?!
Thanks to this gal, O and I will be on a plane to Hawaii in October! :) (and thanks to Mandy too of course)
I have to admit, I feel kind of like I'm cheating because I got the slot only through a roll down. I felt badly about it for a while but in the end I think beggars can't be choosers! And I was proud of my race because I didn't give up, even when my body really wanted to. It would have been a harder pill to swallow if I felt like I had thrown in the towel on the run and got the slot anyway. Nope, I suffered like none other on that run! :)
So Hawaii here we come! :) And I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed when I was writing the check out for Kona. Partially because I don't like writing checks for $550 of course. :) But mostly because, well, Kona really is a dream come true.
(Of course I'm already scared because as hot as it was yesterday, I'm sure Kona is like 10,000 degrees hotter. Oh, and the distance is double. Very small details :)
Okay, this really is turning into 10,000 paragraphs.
Needless to say it was a great weekend and a great experience. I had so much fun seeing so many great people. We had a great time watching Ben finish his first 70.3 in style. It was awesome to see Jeremy win his AG and also take a Kona slot. And just to see so many people do so well! This sport is certainly about working hard to achieve your goals but it's also very much about the awesome friendships you make along the way.
Heather , Jen and I baking at the awards ceremony.
And finally, I would be remiss if I didn't say a HUGE thank you to everyone for your good luck wishes and your awesome comments of encouragement after the race. It was a long drive back on Sunday night but you all kept me smiling from ear to ear. :) And of course, thanks so my coaches as well! They have always prepared me to do battle and without their support and direction I'm sure I would never even make it to the starting line!
And what do I say about Oscar? Geez, there aren't words. He apologized to me after the race for making me sprint that last little bit. Of course I told him I would have RUNG his neck if he didn't tell me and Suzy caught me! :) But in all seriousness, he really is the best support anyone could ever ask for. And anyone who has ever raced with me knows this! If he knows your name, he will cheer loudly for you and be ALL over the course. But he's much more than a cheerleader. Let's just say, I'm pretty sure I couldn't do any of this without him!
Now...seriously, how hot is it in Kona?
(I'm scared :)

American Express - do most merchants accept?
We have an offer for a 0% for 1 year, no fee American Express. Although we currently have no debt, we will have a cash crunch over the next few months. We could borrow against a bank CD, but would have to pay interest. The idea of using a 0% credit card for our daily expenses to accumulate some cash is very attractive! My only concern is how many places accept AmEx? I'm thinking of things like the grocery store, car repairs, utilities, etc. We currently use a VISA for nearly all routine purchases, paying it off each month.
I would call the stores you currently frequent and see if they accept AMEX. Our larger stores/gas stations do. Our utility companies don't. More often, smaller merchants like our auto shop, or even Baskin Robbins do not. I use my AMEX a great deal for online shopping and with Paypal.
You will just have to check.
We have an offer for a 0% for 1 year, no fee American Express.
I have never seen a credit card that has 0% on purchases for a year. Those sneaky offers are usually for transfers (they hope you will transfer big bucks and then not pay them off within the 1 year time period). They often charge a transfer fee of 3% right off the bat too. Read the fine print to see.
Additionally, on those same cards, there is always (from what I have seen) interest charged on ALL purchases.
When payments are made, the payment is applied to the 0% transfer...meaning you will be paying interest on all the purchases until the initial transfer is paid off.
we will have a cash crunch over the next few months
If the above is true, you might want to just get a lump sum amount on a transfer (to yourself) and use from those funds as needed. As the one year draws to an end, decide then what the best way would be to pay it off if it goes to a big interest rate.
All 0% credit cards are not created equal.
Last year I borrowed $5,000...(home project)...0% on transfers, and no transfer fee. I had it set up for automatic payments to come from my checking account assuring a payment would never be late...(or the 0% status could be changed by them). As the interest free neared the end, I 'found' I had enough extra money not working for me to pay it off b4 there was a cent of interest charged.
I might add too that once I made the transfer, I hid the card away and didn't carry it for fear of maybe using it, and then having to pay interest on the purchases until the other was paid off.
Years ago I had an AE card, and back then there were a lot of places that did not take them.
There are cards with no interest on transfers and purchases...seems they all charge transfer fees though.
Maybe what you have really is interest free on purchases for a year...though there might be a transfer fee on transfers.
Initially I signed up for the 0% for 12 months (via phone...don't like using the net for such things if I don't have to. When I got the card, it had a silly $500 limit...sheesh! I called them about it and they said it was 'usually' increased as the card was used and paid well. They then 'noticed' I had $5000 credit available on another Citi card, so between the 2 Citi card places, the available credit was moved to the 0% card. Did that make any sense?
Sue...who probably needs more coffee
Here is a link that might be useful: Cards with 0%
kksmama - thanks, I'll take a look
quiltglo - Thank you for pointing out what should be an obvious step - that I probably wouldn't have thought of!
Sue - This one is no interest on purchases, but either a transfer fee or interest on transfers, I forget which. Many years ago, I took advantage of a few 0% interest for a year on transfers, and borrowed $50,000 which sat in a money market. The payments were on automatic transfer, and I made about $2000 off the credit card company. But the emotional satisfaction of making money from the very instrument that had cost me so much over the years was worth far more! I imagine a few people did things like this, which may be why the credit cards wised up and started charging more often for transfers and setting lower limits.
I got one of those 0%, $500 limit cards once too. They wouldn't raise it for me, so I told them to cancel the card. That limit might make sense for a college kid, or someone with terrible credit, but for a responsible adult it's somewhere between a joke and an insult!
I used an Amex for about 6 months (taking advantage of an offer to charge 3500 and get 50 free). It was declined twice, once at my beach club and once at another smaller store (I forget for what)
Apparently amex lowered how much it charged merchants a few years ago so its more in line with Visa and Mastercard
The discussion of Costco and which credit cards they accept reminded me of something I had almost forgotten. Years ago, which credit cards were in common use was a very regional thing. I remember a friend from here in North Texas traveled back east and found that his credit card (VISA?) wasn't accepted anywhere. Otoh, another card that we almost never saw was accepted everywhere - I think that card was Diners Club or AmEx.
So for those of you who commonly use an AmEx, are you anywhere near Texas?
I commonly use Amex and I'm near Chicago. But I've used it at Costco near my sister in suburban Detroit, grocery stores near my other sister in Los Angeles, when visiting in-laws near Dallas. If Amex doesn't work and I don't have enough cash on the debit card, my attitude is that I don't really need it that bad.

Have you seen the viral video of a car hitting about nine other vehicles in a Wisconsin parking lot? Thankfully, no one was injured, and bystanders were able to get the driver to stop.
It turns out the driver, Russell Kerr, was a 92-year-old man whose foot became stuck on the gas pedal, Milwaukee's WISN-TV reports. The man panicked and lost control of the car. Police said Kerr wouldn't be charged with a crime, as they considered his actions accidental.
But will he be sued by the cars' owners? And will the state DMV let him keep his license?

wooden island countertop and bleach?
Hello all. I have been using the site for a while as a resource but haven't been posting. I finally have something that I can't find an existing thread for and would like your help!
I've seen lots of threads about waterlox and even the specific wood counter top source I am using - Craft Art wooden countertops DIY line- but I still need help with one thing.
On a wooden island countertop that is finished with Waterlox is it ok to use cleaning products like bleach or even regular soap? Both sites don't recommend it but my husband is Very germ conscious and has this crazy idea that if it isn't bleached it isn't clean.
Would it be ok to use a polyeuthethane instead of waterlox on my Craft Art wood island and then use bleach as a cleaner? We are used to man made products (cough laminate cough cough) and it was my idea to go with something natural and warm (yay for wood!). But now the countertops have arrived and I need to finish them in a way that I can clean them really well.
Anyone ever worked with Craft Art DIY wood countertops (or any wood countertops I guess) and waterlox and used bleach or soap? If I want to bleach my wood countertops is there a finish that's ok or best to use?
I want mine to look just like Chrislovesjulia.com's do : ) Inspiration photo below with link to my actual countertops
Bleach is likely to damage even polyurethane with long term use.
And the first time there is a scratch through the finis, it will start to bleach the color out of the wood it can now reach.
You may first notice a finish defect because the wood gets a lighter colored spot under the finish.
What if you mix the bleach with water and then use it? I'm not sure of the ratio but if it is diluted but still effective in killing germs, that may work. I have waterlox on my walnut island and have used several products (without bleach) and it's been fine. The only not so smart thing I did was rub a magic eraser on the finish to get rid of a spot. It dulled the finish.
Your counters are lovely! Man I would be a nervous wreck with counters that beautiful. I have been reading a lot about hydrogen perixode and now I always use it instead of bleach. Lysol makes a great hydrogen peroxide cleaner that I use. It has a really nice slight citrus aroma. I would think that hp would be a much milder but very effective cleaner.
People think of bleach as "safe" but it's far from the truth. It's incredibly corrosive and shouldn't be used on anything you care about, from laundry to countertops. Oxygen bleach is one much more gentle substitute, but for counters, all you really need is a bit of dish detergent and a clean cloth. Use polyethylene cutting boards that can go through the DW if you want, and you can bleach those if you have to, but leave the bleach off of your counters.
Also, what many folks don't understand, is that bleach (sodium hypochlorate) is a really lousy household disinfectant, at least in the way it is commonly used. It needs residence time to kill anything - a swipe with a bleachy rag won't kill anything, but it can still cause the corrosion and and other nasties that GreenDesigns notes. Soap and water have long been simple and effective cleaning products, but I guess they are just too easy for 21st century hi-tech germophobes.
The report linked below details studies conducted in the health care field, where disinfecting is wayyyyy more important than in the average home kitchen.

It might also be good to point out to your husband that wood is not an environment that tends to breed / spread bacteria -- here's a summary of a study on wood vs. plastic cutting boards from the UC Davis.
Personally, I think our modern antiseptic environments are actually making us more susceptible to food borne diseases, food allergies, asthma, etc., but that's a whole 'nother conversation.
I have a Bally Block/Michigan Maple Island top that is finished with Durakryl 102. It says to clean with soap or other cleaners, but not ammonia based cleaners. It does say that bleach can be used to remove stains & will do no damage. Emmett's Good Stuff is used to refinish after sanding if you use it for cutting & can be used to finish unfinished wood, so I believe this finish is the same & would be safe with bleach.
