Jennifer Lawrence is an actress that doesn't care about how people judge her body image as she is happy with what she looks like. What a wonderful role model for girls.
Jennifer Lawrence: "In Hollywood, I'm obese. I'm considered a fat actress...I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress that doesn't have anorexia rumors! I'm never going to starve myself for a part. I'm invincible. I don't want little girls to be like, "Oh I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner!" #quotes #innerbeauty #selfesteem #bodyimage #selfconfidence #naturalbeauty #jenniferlawrence

go girl... Well said.. be as u are, those that see beauty kno u are as u are. Those that dont,dont kno who they are.
This is seriously great. It is all about self confidence. #inspirational #quote
"People always ask me, "You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?" It came from me. One day I decided I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl... It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it's your home, and you must decorate it." - Gabourey Sidibe.

Fork–join queue
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a fork–join queue is a queue where incoming jobs are split on arrival for service by numerous servers and joined before departure.[1] The model is often used for parallel computations[2] or systems where products need to be obtained simultaneously from different suppliers (in a warehouse or manufacturing setting).[3]:78–80 The key quantity of interest in this model is usually the time taken to service a complete job. The model has been described as a "key model for the performance analysis of parallel and distributed systems."[4] Few analytical results exist for fork–join queues, but various approximations are known.
The situation where jobs arrive according to a Poisson process and service times are exponentially distributed is sometimes referred to as a Flatto–Hahn–Wright model or FHW model.[5][6][7]

- 2 Applications
- 3 Response time
- 4 Stationary distribution
- 5 Join queue distribution
- 6 Networks of fork–join queues
- 7 Split–merge model
- 8 Generalized (n,k) fork-join system
- 9 References
On arrival at the fork point, a job is split into N sub-jobs which are served by each of the N servers. After service, sub-job wait until all other sub-jobs have also been processed. The sub-jobs are then rejoined and leave the system.[3]
For the fork–join queue to be stable the input rate must be strictly less than sum of the service rates at the service nodes.[8]
Fork–join queues have been used to model zoned RAID systems,[9] parallel computations[2] and for modelling order fulfilment in warehouses.[3]
Response time[edit]
The response time (or sojourn time[10]) is the total amount of time a job spends in the system.
Ko and Serfozo give an approximation for the response time distribution when service times are exponentially distributed and jobs arrive either according to a Poisson process[11] or a general distribution.[12]
Average response time[edit]
An exact formula for the average response time is only known in the case of two servers (N=2) with exponentially distributed service times (where each server is an M/M/1 queue). In this situation, the response time (total time a job spends in the system) is[13]
- is the utilization.
- is the arrival rate of jobs to all the nodes.
- is the service rate across all the nodes.
In the situation where nodes are M/M/1 queues and N > 2, Varki's modification of mean value analysis can also be used to give an approximate value for the average response time.[14]
For general service times (where each node is an M/G/1 queue) Baccelli and Makowski give bounds for the average response time and higher moments of this quantity both in the transient and steady state situations.[15] Kemper and Mandjes show that for some parameters these bounds are not tight and show demonstrate an approximation technique.[10] For heterogeneous fork-join queues (fork-join queues with different service times), Alomari and Menasce propose an approximation based on harmonic numbers that can be extended to cover more general cases such as probabilistic fork, open and closed fork-join queues.[16]
Subtask dispersion[edit]
The subtask dispersion, defined to be the range of service times, can be numerically computed and optimal deterministic delays introduced to minimize the range.[17]
Stationary distribution[edit]
In general the stationary distribution of the number of jobs at each queue is intractable.[11] Flatto considered the case of two servers (N=2) and derived the stationary distribution for the number of jobs at each queue via uniformization techniques.[5] Pinotsi and Zazanis show that a product form solution exists when arrivals are deterministic as the queue lengths are then independent D/M/1 queues.[7]
Heavy traffic/diffusion approximation[edit]
When the server is heavily loaded (service rate of the queue is only just larger than arrival rate) the queue length process can be approximated by a reflected Brownian motion which converges to the same stationary distribution as the original queueing process.[18][19] Under limiting conditions the state space of the synchronisation queues collapses and all queues behave identically.[20]
Join queue distribution[edit]
Once jobs are served, the parts are reassembled at the join queue. Nelson and Tantawi published the distribution of the join queue length in the situation where all servers have the same service rate.[13] Heterogeneous service rates and distribution asymptotic analysis are considered by Li and Zhao.[21]
Networks of fork–join queues[edit]
An approximate formula can be used to calculate the response time distribution for a network of fork–join queues joined in series (one after the other).[22]
Split–merge model[edit]
A related model is the split–merge model, for which analytical results exist.[2][23] Here on arrival a job is split into N sub-tasks which are serviced in parallel. Only when all the tasks finish servicing and have rejoined can the next job start. This leads to a slower response time on average.
Generalized (n,k) fork-join system[edit]
A generalization of the fork-join queueing system is the fork-join system where the job exits the system when any out of tasks are served. The traditional fork-join queueing system is a special case of the system when . Bounds on the mean response time of this generalized system were found by Joshi, Liu and Soljanin. [24] [25]

Matt H
Matt kinda blew in and blew out of the house so quick that I almost forgot that he hung out with us for a while. Matt walked in when we were in the middle of watching Haigan fuck Tanner. He immediately hit it off with Haigan and they started fucking with each other a bit.Matt is a big solid Texas boy standing 6'1 tall and weighing 205 lbs. He has a thick beefy build and a cocky attitude to match. Matt loved being around all the guys but he seemed just a little unsure about getting naked for our cameras.I finally cornered Matt out on the deck and just chatted with him for a while. He finally just decided to take off his shirt and give us a little show. Matt has dark tanned skin and a tattoo that covers most of his arm. He has this bad boy Guido kinda look but a much more sensual attitude. Matt didnít stop there; he took off his pants and gave us a show right on the deck.

I think that Wal-Mart was (in the past 30 years), and still is, the greatest retail company on Earth. They are the only hypermarket, or 'supercenter', that defines all-in-one-stop retail.
It stemmed from a visit to Wuhan, China not too long ago, when I met the friendliest 'associates' and the cheapest goods, in a nondescript setting in a central city, even more so than the friendliest in Singapore.
Never mess with Wal-Mart!
They have a strong central management system, they invest a lot in both human capital and investment. They got the Walton International Scholars Program. They also have the IBM 370/135 computer system, leased. The result? They serve to increase the economies of scale Wal-Mart can use to have savings to pass on to consumers - $700 million currently.
For now, Wal-Mart just seemed to have a PR problem in sexual equality, which, in my opinion, seems to be overblown. Wal-Mart was embroiled in a lawsuit against former employees, for charges of sexual discrimination as women. The Supreme Court had ruled the case in favor of Wal-Mart. PayScale surveys show that male and women are paid on equals, and women are employed on a professional basis in Wal-Mart, just as men do. Perhaps this stemmed from the early 1970's, when Wal-Mart had openly followed the corporate values in the Southern United States, which seems to emphasize a lot on the sheer force of the men, in a (mostly) women-engaging retail setting, like Wal-Mart.
But even that had changed, from what is seen in PayScale's survey on Wal-Mart pay and job scopes.
Maybe the only thing I gripe about Wal-Mart is the way the store architecture and interior is - plain, boring, and nothing interesting. But hey, they do make construction and maintenance costs cheap, which can be passed on to the Orange juice I buy, am I right?

InternshipsThe following internship opportunities provide a good practical exposure for graduates:
In addition to the above exposure to the Edcon business process by graduates, Edcon offers a Retail Management Development Programme (three month training) for future store managers recruited with previous management experience from other companies.
Edcon Achievements Edcon has been recognised as an ISOE (Institute of Sectoral Excellence) within the Wholesale and Retail sectors, and is furthermore accredited by SAICA as a learning provider for the provision of articles for qualifying Chartered Accountants.
Apart from staff training, for which Edcon spent about 4,6% of payroll in the 2007/8 financial year, the company also awards bursaries (Steve Ross Bursary) to children of its employees.
The challengeOne of the challenges of ERA is to ensure that the group has the necessary competencies to compete both nationally and internationally. In order to achieve this goal the Academy needs to learn faster than its competitors. Technology can be used as a cost effective tool to enable collaboration and knowledge dissemination across the group. For graduate programmes, the biggest challenges facing the academy are the changes in the education landscape, the skills shortage and the quality of graduates. The sustainability of graduate programmes depends on the feeder university qualifications and their relevance to retail in general and fashion retail in particular. The drop-out rate and the retention of those who successfully complete the graduate programmes remains a challenge not only for ERA but for all other companies who have embarked on such initiatives. The Academy needs to implement and sustain sound governance by laying a solid foundation and anticipating and reacting to changes in culture, management expectations, legislation, demands from business and even industry restructuring.
Future plansWith its strong focus on developing employees by teaching new skills and competencies, Edcon is one of the leaders in the competitive environment of the fashion retail industry. The Academy spends millions of rands on training each year and in mid 2008 was reconfigured to look at a broad spectrum of learning needs for the group. A decision was then made to register Edcon Retail Academy as a private Further Education and Training (FET) College with the aim of offering a wide range of full additional qualifications in support of the national call to minimise the skills shortage, especially in the retail sector. The ideal situation would be to increase the number of learnerships, graduate programmes, and internships (as well as skills programmes) by providing all Edcon employees and future employees with the relevant skills and knowledge. The shortage of store managers, buyers and planners in South Africa is a major concern to Edcon. Through their retail academy they aim not only to enhance good corporate citizenship but also to add value to socio-economic initiatives like the Joint Initiative on Priority Skills Acquisition and the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa.

The sun melted into the glamorous sky
The moon stood there, hidden by sweet lullabies.
But mommy was crying, her day had been hard
The tears in her eyes twinkled just like the stars.
Her face wasn't happy like it should have been
And though she was saddened, she forcefully grinned.
I wanted to see Mommy smile through it all...
I painted a picture on her bedroom walls.
I told her to look, just to come in and see
But Mommy was angry... she wasn't happy.
She threw me down hard on the cold wooden floor
Then picked me up, slamming my head on the door.
She yelled and she screamed, then she hit me once more
She slapped me till I couldn't see anymore.
My heart then stopped beating, my laugh went unheard
Then Mommy got up without saying a word.
She looked at the walls splattered with my young blood
Then fell to the ground in her tears with a thud.
She looked at my face, then she looked all around
Then wrote on the walls with the first thing she found.
Then, after she finished, she wanted self harm....
She sat on the ground, putting me in her arms.
She reached for the knife she had placed on her bed
Then stabbed her own body... she cried as she bled.
The words on the wall echoed throughout the room...
"I love you so much, Mommy... get better soon!"

How contests can help agencies do more with less
Tuesday - 2/1/2011, 4:29am EST
February 1, 2011 -- Everyone in the federal government is being challenged to do more with less.
Host John Gilroy interviews Robynn Sturm, Assistant to the Deputy Director in the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, about using incentives and prizes to help solve problems. She cites examples from NASA, NIH and the Department of Energy.
Sturm and Gilroy discuss Challenge.gov and how it has put the concept of prizes in action. (The website currently has 57 challenges from 27 different agencies listed covering everything from advancing vehicle technology, to small business financing, to type 1 diabetes.)
Tune in as we discuss why prizes work and how the administration is using them to its advantage.

Why lawmakers file road conversion bills
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—If President Aquino has vetoed so many road conversion bills, why do lawmakers keep filing them?
According to Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II, some lawmakers want to guarantee that the roads in their districts would get the funding needed for their upgrade, improvement and upkeep.
Gonzales said that in the poorer provinces, local governments cannot afford to improve thoroughfares, especially if it would entail the acquisition of a right of way. Converting thoroughfares to national roads guarantees that they would be entitled to funds from the national government, he said.
"You have to understand the congressmen, particularly in the poor provinces. The province or municipality cannot maintain the roads. So what the congressmen want is to fund these through the [General Appropriations Act] and the only way you can fight for funding is if you convert them to national roads," he said in an interview.
Road improvement plays a crucial part in developing a province and encouraging trade and businesses to flourish.
Gonzales admitted, however, that some of the road conversion bills were deficient because the thoroughfares concerned did not meet the criteria that would qualify them to become national roads.
Some of these bills were passed out of a sense of fellowship, to accommodate fellow lawmakers' wishes.
Earlier, presidential legislative liaison office chief Manuel Mamba said the vetoed road bills failed to justify the proposed conversion of the thoroughfares, and that if approved, these would deplete the budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Following the President's rejection of 70 bills—more than half of which had to do with road conversions—House leaders had vowed to ensure better coordination between lawmakers and administration officials in the 16th Congress.
Gonzales said the House of Representatives would see to it that it would consult with the DPWH when it came to road bills.
Earlier, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte called on Cabinet members to coordinate with lawmakers and attend the hearings on crucial legislation so that there would be no conflict later.
Lawmakers also said that there should be more meetings of the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council to discuss and iron out details of priority bills.

More than 300 students and teachers.
MORE THAN 300 STUDENTS AND TEACHERS from Palm Beach public schools received brand new school supplies on the first week of school. The donation was made possible by the Palm Beach County Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section, which donated scissors, crayons, colored markers, rulers, notebook paper, spiral notebooks, composition books, pens, and pencils. The supplies were given to students who were eligible for the federal breakfast and lunch program. "You know it's a needed and appreciated project when the students are thankful to get even the basic school supplies," said Jason Guari, president of the Young Lawyers Section. "The students and teachers have been very thankful and appreciate us taking the time to personally distribute the supplies." Supplies were also donated for all teachers, including copy paper, scissors, white out, dry erase markers, and staples. "As attorneys, we think it's important to give back to our community, and this is a great way to help teachers and parents," said Allison Kapner, the chair of this year's back to school benefit. "It can cost a parent more than $100 to get just one child ready for school." Pictured from the left are Guari, Andy Severson, Jeff Pepin, John Whittles, Kapner, Eric Severson, Catherine Eaton, Brian Kennedy, Kristi L. Bergemann, and Jennifer Kypreos.

I did 550ccs yesterday by Dr. Jensen I'm in a pretty good amount of pain but I'm hoping they end up being pretty big :) I'll post some before and after. I went in wanting 480ccs high profile but after playing with the implants I chose 550ccs. I'm super happy I think any smaller I would've been upset.

I have wanted a breast augmentation since I was in high school. I always wanted big boobs, but I only ended up with small B's. I have 3 kids, the normal happened during pregnancy, I gained weight and gained fuller breasts, but they quickly deflated when I went back to my normal non-pregnant weight. I finally had surgery on April 16th, 2015. I went to Dr. Mike Gonce in OKC. He was great! The... more
"54 Years Young, Two Adult Daughters,..."
I've always wanted bigger breast. However, my late sweet husband convinced me he was happy with my 36 B cups. The sudden loss of my late husband was painful but it helped me to learn to live my 'best' life and do "me". So I made the decision to go for it. I'm excited and my daughters have given me their blessings. I've had my consultation, pre-op test and feel comfortable with Dr. Sawan. ... more

Door Stories
Why is this blog item different from every other blog item?
Well, first of all, I'm writing it at the home of our friends the Millers, who are about to serve a sumptuous Passover feast.
Also, their computer (which I'm working on now) has one of those wiggly, ergonomically correct keyboards -- which is kind of freaking me out: it's like trying to type while your hands are drunk (possibly from Manischewitz).
And finally, in honor of my people's historic exodus, I am trying to make this item entirely leavening-free.
So here goes:
Tonight's show (at 7:30) features an interview with one of my favorite actors, Delroy Lindo, whose work I admired long before I learned that he lives here in the Bay Area. Lindo's intensity and intelligence always come through, even in monosyllabic action films, though where he really gets to shine is in movies of substance -- like The Cider House Rules, Malcolm X, or (most recently) the delightful dramedy Wondrous Oblivion. After a childhood in England and Canada, he received his acting training at A.C.T. in San Francisco, and eventually gained prominence with Broadway roles in "Master Harold" ... and the Boys and Joe Turner's Come and Gone.
Now he's directing -- and in our neck of the woods, too! His production of Tanya Barfield's powerful, complex play Blue Door begins previews at the Berkeley Rep on Friday and opens on April 11. (I wasn't looking at the computer screen as I was typing that last bit, and on this wiggly keyboard it initially came out as "'k'gsd fl;kg'ks dflgskz 'z'''''k"!) Based on my reading of the script, I'm anticipating that Blue Door -- a multi-generational meditation on history and identity, performed by only two actors -- will be quite a tour de force. If you go catch it at the Rep, maybe I'll see you there!
For now, however, I'm going to start heading toward the Passover table. There's a gefilte fish coming this way with a mean glint in his eye, and I'd better take care of this situation before it gets out of hand. ...

Kelty Women's PK 50 Pack
The Kelty Women's PK 50 Pack is a 50 liter backpack built to take the guesswork out of packing your gear. The PK 50 is the glue of Kelty's TraiLogic Collection, holding all the other (TraiLogic) pieces together in a neat little package. There is a specific spot for everything, your clothes, tent, sleeping bag, food, stove, sleeping pad, and small essentials. As the compartments are roll-closure, the pack is zipperless, which cuts down on weight and ultimately allows for more compression. The 15L front pocket has two compartments, the larger acts as a stuff sack for your clothing and the smaller holds essentials, like your headlamp. Remove the 15L section and bring it inside your tent at night, which then allows the remainder of the pack to be used on day hikes as an even lighter 35L pack. How nifty, two packs in one! A single aluminum stay transfers the load to your lumbar area and an HDPE frame sheet keeps everything stable. The AirMesh shoulder straps, waistbelt, and backpanel provides ventilation as you heat up on the trail. On the 35L section, there are separate roll-closure compartments for the aforementioned necessities as well as a hidden raincover. The compression wings wrap around and cinch all compartments like a wizard cloak to secure your gear tightly together as you battle against Evil.

I took this pack on backpacking trips and used it for rock climbing. It's organization is great and really helpful when on the trail. It's a nice size, and I love that it can transition from a 50 to 35L. The removable clothes compartment is a great idea! The downsides are that the top stitching on the tent compartment ripped on my first trip. The padding could be improved for the lower back and shoulders.

To: Big Fish
- How are you feeling, so sorry to hear about your brother but the beauty of this site is how any two people can relate. My son sounds so similar, he is 27 and suffers from dystonia.This makes the muscles in his neck go into spasm,so he often looks like he is nodding but he cannot help it. One of his sisters also has it but not so bad.It effects his life and he turned to drink. About 5 years ago he attempted suicide and was in hospital for a long time and has had many operations. Physically he has recovered 80% but mentally a different story. He goes weeks without drinking and then just goes missing for days at a time. He lives with his mum(my ex) and she is always worried as we all are that he has killed himself. He too has been arrested many times and at present is on a suspended sentence.It tears our family apart .I thought when i became sober it might help him but alas not.I do not know what to say to you because i am confused myself. It is just so painful as it must be for you.

- You have only to read the posts here to know it can be done if you want it. 19 days is brilliant, you are through the worst physical symptoms now watch out for the mind traps, little triggers that would have you reaching for the bottle as a reward or consolation. They are mind sets we taught ourselves to justify our drinking. keep going!

To: Catlover
- I hate when people want to remind you of drunken episodes, it is a deliberate ploy to embarrass you and wrong foot you. All I can say is they must be pretty insecure to feel the need to belittle you. To hell with them! You just carry on with the fight for sobriety, you are doing brilliantly. One slip is not the end of the world, acknowledge it and move forward again, you should be proud of how far you have come with all the adversity you are facing. P.S I would hate to have to face everyone I have embarrassed myself in front of, it would be a very long day indeed! Lol, I have moved forward and put it behind me and so must you, I bet they have secrets that would curl your hair if they got out. We can't spend the rest of our lives apologizing, we can only try not to let ourselves down again, you are what matters not their petty bitchiness. Keep going girl!

Day 7 nearly over
- Almost made it to the end of day 7 not been able to say that in ages! now the feeling and emotions that i was suppressing are coming to the surface - i read that this can happen when you first start out so am just going with the flow. Actually feels good to be sober and not walking round in a haze. Waking up in the mornings clear headed and not feeling like crap is brilliant. Love to all

I hope he chooses sobriety but as you said, it has to be his choice. It must be devastating for you to witness his deterioration knowing that help is out there and how possible sobriety is. Take care of yourself Bigfish, you can't carry everyone. God bless.

Anti Bloat Meds?
- Hi everyone, first of all thank you to you all for sharing here. I have just found this thread and intend to keep reading more. The reason I came across it - I have just came off yet another bender ( 9 days sober again) I am 48 years old, used alcohol almost 20 of those years never had any real health scare. What Im noticing now is real bad stomach aches, gas bloating and nausea, loud growling even today I bought some " motilium " doesn't seem to helping much. Has anyone have better advice? Wish I could stop the alcohol for good I try but keep going back. Fool am I. Thanks and bless you all.

To: activenomore
- Hi activenomore, I am really glad you like the urge surfing. It helps me with (what used to be) panic attacks, which is a side-effect of longterm drinking. I don't get upset about the whole idea anymore. I've been thinking about the different levels of alcoholism I developed. The different type alcoholics you mentioned. I think as the alcohol use progresses, you morph into another type. I started out as a social drinker going out on Fridays. Then it became binge social drinking on Fridays. Then the whole weekend. Then drinking a few after work every night also. Then a six pack every night. Then whenever I could. I would try to get my obligations out of the way, so I could hibernate the rest of the night. Alcoholism is such a marked progression. The further I get away from the alcohol, the more clear it becomes. What is your birthday? That is so great you are coming towards a year. It is a big deal. I didn't think mine would be so exciting! It was better than a birthday! ( - :
- —Guest Big Fish
- Hey, just to log in and say hello, sorry i have been absent.. Hit it quite hard, good to see that you guys are still about and i'm sure plenty more newcomers. Truth is i messed up big time but don't have all day.. All the best to you guys here, keep going! You have a choice, stick around here and will help massively. Take care all and lots of love xx
- —dale0123
To: Big Fish
- Yes, I am still hanging in there, thanks. Once it a while I feel like life is a real challenge. But then I try to remind myself how much better *all* of it, good and bad, is when I'm sober. So I'm coming up on a year now real soon. I'd like to say, "ah, I don't think about it much, it's how I live each day, right now that matters". But it is a big deal. How could it not be? I'm carrying around a piece of paper and listing all the good stuff from the last year that I can attribute to giving up alcohol. Oh, BTW, the urge surfing has opened up a whole new world for me. I am learning to be more mindful, in the moment, and less judgmental. I bought a CD online, "Mindful Solutions for Stress, Anxiety, and Depression", by Elisha Goldstein. It helps you to practice the technique. There's also another one specifically for addiction. I'm sure they're both very similar. Love and best wishes to you and all the posters, and thanks to Buddy T.

To: catlover
- Please let me know how the 5-HTP works. I think Matty's right - stay away from sedatives - your brain will never heal and relearn how to go through the normal sleep cycles. I avoid the Benadryl (but it's good in the very beginning with itching), Benzos and prescription drugs. They mess up your sleep more and cause other issues like memory loss and are addictive themselves (all well documented). The strongest thing I take is a couple of Valerian capsules for a couple of days when I have to do an all-nighter at work and my daily rhythm gets messed up. Melatonin and 5-HTP are ok in my book - they act more like a supplement that gives your body what it needs, although you could overdo it with them, too. Sleep is just an item on the list that recovering alcoholics have to manage. Some are lucky - for example my Mom sleeps like a baby. So just get up and back on the wagon, catlover. I admire your persistence in the face of all the adversity in your life.

Ships are professional workplaces where qualified people are doing work for pay. I don't believe you'll get a ride with any such ship except as a paying passenger. For that, talk to a travel agent.
Yachts are probably more likely where you may be successful and the best place to start is in Panama City. I don't believe there are a lot of private vessels leaving from any other part of South America for Australasia. I haven't researched that, it's just my gut feel.
But there will be a lot of suspicion amongst boat owners and you will have to convince them that you have something to contribute (from your post it's apparently not sailing skill) and that you constitute no threat to them or their boat. Like they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Good luck with that.

Home / Physical Preparation : Planning for Performance
Knowledge level: Beginner
Article posted: 07/01/2013
The first eight weeks of the British Cycling Sportive Training Plans were designed to build some all-round bike fitness and strength. They also allowed you to familiarise yourself with following a structured training plan, understand and work within your training zones and help you identify any weaknesses in your riding skills. Week 9 will see you repeating the threshold test to measure the physiological changes that your body has undergone and adjust your training zones accordingly.
Weeks 9-16 of the British Cycling Training Plans are designed to build an excellent endurance base in preparation for next season. As Sportives take several hours to complete it is very important that you have developed sufficient aerobic fitness to cope with, and recover from, the demands of your chosen event.
The majority of training in weeks 9-16 will be in the lower heart rate or power zones, building endurance through high volume but relatively low stress riding. During this period your body will learn to use its fuel supplies more efficiently and you will become better at pacing longer rides. It is also a good time to work on your bike handling skills, so that you are comfortable and confident riding in a group by next year's Sportive season.
As we are now entering winter and have the possibility of poor weather, you may have to adapt some of your training sessions. If the weather is too bad to ride outdoors, then try substituting a road session for one on a static trainer, Wattbike or Rollers. If substituting a long endurance ride, you may want to split the session in two, by doing one hour in the morning and another hour or more in the evening.
Attempting a two or three-hour session on a static trainer or similar in one go is not recommended; you might manage it once or twice, but it is not going to be good for your morale if you try and do it for every session.
In the winter you must always be mindful of the changeability of the British weather and dress for the conditions. A good waterproof coat, warm gloves, skull cap or snood and overshoes all make a tremendous difference, and ultimately make Winter riding far more enjoyable. If you suffer from cold hands or feet whilst riding then self-heating hand warming pouches found in outdoor shops can be a lifesaver; put inside gloves or socks they stay warm for hours.
Weeks 9-16 have some target distances to ride. Choosing the same route allows you to record any improvements in the time taken and average speed recorded. However, bear in mind that the prevailing weather conditions, your fatigue level, and your nutrition both on and off the bike will influence these variables. Week 15 has longer rides set for all levels of rider.
Again, you may have to be flexible about which day you do this ride - check the weather forecast and be prepared. It is fine to build in a tea stop on these long rides which allows you to maintain a social element to your riding, as long as your riding partner or group is of a similar ability and is prepared to ride at your pace. The aim of these rides is to teach you to pace your effort and give you a good opportunity to work on feeding solutions.
Nigel Mitchell, Head Nutritionist for the Great Britain Cycling Team and Team Sky offers some advice: "As a basic strategy, you should aim to drink 500ml of liquid per hour of riding, and eat one gel, half an energy bar or a small banana per hour. This should equate to around 20g of carbohydrate per hour. If you are using energy products then now is the time to experiment with different brands. You could also identify who will be the nutrition sponsor in your target events. Using the same products during your training will reduce the potential for a shock to your digestive system come event day."
On returning from your longer rides Nigel recommends: "If you are going to eat a balanced meal within ninety minutes of your return then no special recovery foods are needed. If you will be eating outside of this time frame, then a glass of semi-skimmed milk and a banana is ideal as a post ride snack. You may want to eat an energy bar in the last 45 minutes of your ride. This will boost your blood sugar levels and stop you wanting to eat the entire contents of your fridge, on your return."
Finally, try your best to complete the full prescribed distance or riding times for the longer rides if you can. Completing these set distances now will give you confidence for your Sportive distance later in the year. So be prepared, fuel appropriately and enjoy!

Mars Weather Report - Sol 2
June 9, 2008
The weather at the Phoenix landing site on Sol 2 was sunny with moderate dust, with a high of - 30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit) and a low of -80 (-112 degrees Fahrenheit).
The Phoenix MET lidar took its first measurement around noon on Sol 2. Lidar data shows dust lofted up to a height of 3.5 kilometers (2 miles). The SSI camera measured an atmospheric optical depth of around 0.5. This corresponds to a fairly dusty atmosphere and appears to be a significant increase in dustiness compared to Sol 1.

Buck to host Fox NFL pregame show
By Paul J. Gough
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Fox Sports will turn to
play-by-play announcer Joe Buck to front its top-rated pregame
and postgame shows, as former host James Brown to moves to CBS.
Buck will join co-hosts Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson and
Howie Long for "Fox NFL Sunday" and "The OT" on all but three
telecasts, when he's off doing play-by-play for Fox's
postseason baseball coverage. Subbing for him will be Curt
Menefee, who joins the network hosting the halftime show and
the postgame coverage.
Buck also will keep his role as play-by-play announcer for
the network's first broadcast team with Troy Aikman and Pam
Oliver. Fox said it marks the first time a broadcaster will
host an NFL pregame show while handling play-by-play duties.
The move gives Fox Sports the push it has needed to move
the pregame show onto the road, where it occasionally has been
during the postseason.
"It's something that we've wanted to do forever," said Fox
Sports President Ed Goren, who made the Buck announcement with
Fox Sports chairman David Hill on Monday at News Corp.
The commitment to move the pre- and postgame shows from the
Los Angeles studio to the stadium isn't insignificant, but Hill
said he was confident that Fox Sports would get all the bugs
worked out. One big help: Bradshaw, Johnson and Long will be
able to keep track of the games via a bank of TVs supplied by
For his part, Buck said he's looking forward to the
challenge and minimized his role.
"These guys (pointing to Bradshaw, Johnson and Long) are
the show," Buck said. "I'm just there to tee them up and have
some fun."
Buck, who has been with Fox Sports for 13 years, also will
continue as play-by-play announcer for Major League Baseball on
