"When I need to get away...." Stinson Beach by symbiont
Stinson Beach Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 23 photos
This is a pretty typical scene on a summer day in August. This beach is just a fraction of the sand that stretches to the north. Stinson beach has a variety of monthly rental beach houses and attracts all kinds of locals from the area as well as SF.
This has to be one of the all time most scenic drives to a beach from a major city. It takes about an hour on highway 1 just past Sausalito. You will see fog in the beginning and brilliant sunshine when you arrive.
The Sand Dollar is the best restaurant on the strip in Stinson. On a nice sunny day it is not suprising to find a 3 piece jazz band playing while you enjoy the food. The sun is bright as well as the people.
- Pros:A very relaxing experiecne
- Cons:traffic thru SB can be frustrating on summer weekends around 12-4pm
- In a nutshell:Relaxing away from SF

It's great fun and the price was right,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Easy Appetizer Recipes (Kindle Edition)
Earlier reviewers were harsh; as a gourmet cook, I was not looking for much here, but the writers did a good job and gave me a few new ideas. It was well put-together, and the next time I picnic on the beach watching the penguins (we're living Down Under at present), I'll definitely use some of them. All in all, I'm glad I didn't actually pay for it but it's worth having.

Scientists hope the treatment will allow mothers who cannot breastfeed their children to give milk which contains as much goodness as breast milk, according to reports.
The move, by experts in Russia and Belarus, also involves of the development of medicines exploiting the antibiotic qualities of lactoferrin, a protein found in women's milk but which can be added to goat's milk through genetic modification.
Dr Elena Sadchikova, who is leading the project, said the research followed trials on which male mice were implanted with human genes. "This led to surprising amounts of lactoferrin being produced in their female offspring - 160grams per litre of milk," she said.
Ninety female offspring from genetically modified male goats are now being raised on a farm outside Moscow in the hope they will produce milk with the same – or higher - amounts of lactoferrin than found naturally in human breast milk.
"The new programme will be aimed at producing milk with the human protein, as well as making medicines from it," said Dr Pyotr Vitsyaz, of the Belarussian National Academy of Sciences.
The scientists say that the medicines will be used to treat cancer and illnesses of the immune and digestive systems.
Similar projects are being carried out in Netherlands and in China. Dutch scientists have created a transgenic cow producing the protein, but in small quantities. Goats were chosen over cows for the Russian-Belarusian study because they produce more milk in proportion to their weight and are less dependent than cows on external factors such as temperature.

Gold Coast Airport Marathon Race Report
Following the marathon PR in the Gold Coast last year [race report], plans were made to return to Australia's Sunshine State for a repeat. Except for a couple of events to keep the running going there wasn't any "serious" training program in the second half of 2014. Things got going only after the first week of the 2015 Chinese New Year celebrations. An 18-week program was already drawn up based loosely on the Hanson's plan. 18 weeks seemed a little lengthy but I wanted the initial couple of weeks to be a sort of a bedding-in period.
A more aggressive goal was plotted for GCAM15. To put into perspective, I needed to average 20 seconds per kilometer faster than GCAM14 for a 13-minute goal PR. It appeared a little far-fetched at the onset of training but on the other hand, I hadn't been sedentary either since GCAM14. I had some fitness going into it. Chalk one up for staying active the year-round!
Other than a week off due to a mild flu in the first month of the program, I was healthy throughout which was unlike the past years. It was not easy sustaining 5:39 pace after Chinese New Year much less a 5:19, but the weekend long runs eventually brought the stamina back. Gradually, 5:30 wasn't too much of an issue and with more miles packed into the legs, the level of optimism started to rise.
One of the contributing factors that brought about the improvements could be attributed to the group training. We've had the GCAM training group for 4 years but it was in this year's group that saw a larger number of runners who joined us for the weekend workouts. Training in a group setting certainly made those 5-5:30am mornings much easier. I'm sure, from the photos above, you'd agree that we had fun too. Due to the new goals, there was a need for more variety in the workouts, from boring long runs to more exciting (and lung-busting) stuff like hill repeats, track intervals and progressive long runs. Finally, unlike last year, I raced very little this time around, with my first race of the year ran only in April in the form of the Shape Run. With 3 weeks to the race, the group ran the 26K Marathon Simulator in Putrajaya, a workout which everyone nailed. That did much good to raise the level of confidence and set things up for a good showing. The Simulator was a fantastic culmination to the months of training, double workouts and early morning runs.
Fast forward to race-eve, and with all commitments wrapped up and the shakedown run taken care of in the form of the Southern Cross University 10K, a few of us gathered for a pasta dinner at Vapiano which doubled as a meet-up with Yvonne and Bin who traveled up from Melbourne to run the Asics Half Marathon. It would be an early night for all of us. My race packing had been done on Friday so it was all very quick for me – 8 gels, the Jabra Rox, iPod Nano, Kinvara 5, compression socks and shorts, shades and cap. Disposables were 3 race t-shirts and cutoff tube socks as arm warmers for the cold start. Breakfast was a Hammer bar, cup noodles (for the salt), and a banana. I'd drank a small cup of black coffee at the hotel so I skipped the cafe at the race precinct. I stayed hydrated while waiting to check-in my baggage (600ml bottle of Powerade) before I made a visit to the loo and getting my warm up done. Finally the group took a slow walk to corral. I would be running solo as Nick's condition was preventing him from pacing together, which was truly unfortunate for the both of us. He had trained very hard (much harder than me). We were at our fittest and would've benefited from running together and pulling each other along. As it was, I positioned myself in front of the 4-hour pacers (Corral C). With my pace table tucked under my watch there was no need to rely on the pacers. I was confident in keeping to my MP anyway.
The strategy was to generally run by feel. Through the miles logged, I could peg the 5:19 pace pretty easily without the need of constant monitoring of the watch. The distance was broken down to several key checkpoints – the 15.5K Burleigh Heads u-turn, the halfway mark, the 30K mark and the finish. Hydrate from my handheld bottle (High-5 Carb/Protein mix) up to the 10K station and subsequently at all aid stations with water and Endura. Gels every 5K. This was as I'd executed during GCAM14, so other than the new goal time, whatever I've adopted this year wasn't a new approach. I even wore the same top, shorts and shoes.
The sun had warmed up sufficiently that I could discard my layers. All signs were pointing to a hot day. Closed my eyes to refocus and we were off. The atmosphere and energy were excellent, even greater than previous years'. I crossed the start line in 2 minutes and after a 5:34 first K, I was able to keep to a good clip. Unlike races back home, nearly everyone around you were moving at the same speed – slower runners behind, faster ones in front. So while there were many runners around you, everyone was moving in unison with little obstruction. The first 5K was to average 5:31 and no problems there.
The next 10K segment to the 15.5K Burleigh Heads u-turn was to be run at 5:19, and it went like clockwork. Heart rate was very comfortable hovering mid 150s. Legs were fine and I kept sipping at my bottle of High-5. Again, the highlight was the level of support. We've cheer-leading teams which made plenty of noise and there were just many more folks out watching and cheering us this year.
As the race progressed, it was becoming apparent that the day would be a hot one. The forecast put it at 23 Celcius after a 12 Celcius start. It was largely cloudless, so I felt the sun rays penetrating on my skin. The halfway mark, as always, was around the narrow Millionaires' Row and until last year, I've always had an aversion to this section. The reason isn't so much attributed to the location but rather this location was where I knew, in 2011 and 2012, that I'd started too fast! I've since learned my lesson by not running like a headless chicken that early on in the race. Plus, through miles and miles of running, I eventually developed a sense of pace from my breathing and how my body feels. The watch was merely there to validate what I already know. Pacing awareness can be developed by anyone.
There comes a time in every race when the runner has to make the call. Make a go for it or what army recruiters would say, "Be all you can be" or stick to a conservative plan. I held back until 37K last year. A year on and stronger, I had to decide earlier this time around. I had the honor of speaking to several elites at the Garmin Legends Lunch the day before the race during which I was seated next to Adam Gordon, elite triathlete and Garmin ambassador. I asked him, at which point of the race I should make the call to make a go for it, if I still felt good? He replied, "When you wake up and have your breakfast."
My decision? I stuck with the plan after taking into consideration the weather conditions. With the halfway mark reached in 1:53 against the planned 1:54.55 (1.5 minutes ahead of schedule), I should just keep the proceedings up to the 35K point before hitting it hard for a strong finish. At least, that was the plan.
Despite drinking consistently I'd yet to pee (unlike last year) by the time I returned to the Surfers Paradise stretch. As progress was still on-track, I just kept going. Supporters and their kids and pets were truly out in full force rallying the runners on. There was still plenty of work to be done but it wouldn't be long before I got to the dreaded 30K point.
The race precinct was madness – left and right, the crowd were just spectacular. There was no cloud cover and even though the temps were only hovering in the 22-23 Celcius region (no issues for us from the tropics actually), we bore the full brunt of the sun due to the absence of cloud cover. Being baked in the sun wasn't fun and despite staying hydrated (1.5 cups every station) it wasn't providing enough relief to keep the effort going. I truly started to struggle from the 32K mark, when I took my first walk break as I drank up. The quads and hams were misfiring, and there were indications that they were cramping up. Running the Marine Parade stretch towards Runaway Bay was so exciting last year because I was holding back before finally pushing it all the way to the finish. Things were different this time around. I was beginning to get a little antsy as the goal pace was starting to slip. By the 35K mark, I was off target by 4 minutes.
Alternating splashing water on my head and face, I was shuffling and walking with not-so-wholesome thoughts coursing through my mind. Staring at a potentially calamitous timing, the available options weren't that appealing. Even the lyrics in my playlist seemed to suddenly turn depressing!
- Throw in the towel (more time spent in the hot sun, cramps, pain, unwholesome thoughts, etc…), or
- Fight (less time spent in the hot sun, cramps, pain, unwholesome thoughts).
Dammit, I didn't train 4.5 months for nothing! What would my kids think of me, I thought. Thus, it came down to a lot of shuffling and walking when the tugging on the quads became worse. This went on until the final water station located before the McDonald's outlet. With the final stretch coming up, I gritted my teeth towards the finish. Supporters were yelling my name and with that kind of enthusiasm, there was no way a runner could walk.
I'd stopped looking at my watch after 37K and was a bit surprised to find that my 29th marathon ended at 3:55:33, a measly 3-minute improvement, a massive 10-minute gap from what was targeted. I was disappointed that the body couldn't respond appropriately to the conditions. I'm unable to put a finger to what could've been the cause. Perhaps there wasn't a single factor but a combination of the 10K the day before on top of the heat on race morning. Whatever it was, the end was anti-climatic. It was a humbling experience and I'll learn. The positives were all there – the training were good, the pacing was great, the gear performed as expected. I will not repeat the same mistakes again the next time. For 2015, I've PR'd in the 10K and the Marathon and the next goal will be to drop the Half Marathon timing in December.
On a much happier note, the training gang returned awesome PRs. How awesome? Think gargantuan 50-minute improvements! Even Foo, who at one stage was relegated to the role of team chef due to his injuries, ran superbly. The months of training has been made easier with their company. I'm also glad for the company of Comrades Marathon alumni, Frank and Zijill, who added some elements of hardcore-ness to many of our workouts. I'll bet there will be a few sub-4 and sub-5s for many of them the next time around! Nick, you better get your leg treated as there's unfinished business to attend to, on top of new green shoes to be running in!
Congratulations go out to the race organizers who yet again did a wonderful job in running the show, and to those thousands of volunteers and supporters out on the streets, thank you! Not forgetting, my heartfelt gratitude to the hardworking folks at the Tourism and Events Queensland, who took great care of me and letting me be part of the event. This has truly been a GCAM15 to remember.
Southern Cross University 10K Race Report
It's another year and I found myself back on the Gold Coast. This time with many more mates from the training group along for the running festival that we've come to love.
Since a run was planned on the eve of the marathon, a few of us thought might as well run the official 10K as the shakeout – getting more bang for the buck out of the trip. The plan was to take it really leisurely with plenty of photo ops along the way.
The weather on Saturday was mild, just fine for a short run but it started off with some drama. Due to an incident, the northbound tram line was closed, forcing runners to mass along the Gold Coast Highway for the bus shuttle services. After several packed buses passed without so much as reducing the size of the queue, I scrambled to cab-pool with another group of runners (Hi, Todd!) and was able to make it to Southport in time. Nevertheless, the organizers wisely delayed the start a little to accommodate the late arrivals. As I was hurrying towards the agreed meeting point by the big LCD screen, I bumped into Ryan Hall just off the main road. With no one mobbing him, I did the sanest thing a gawking runner would do.
Soon enough with everyone in our group accounted for, we (Foo, Leong, CY, Nick, Man Hon, and I) proceeded to the rear of the thousands of participants. I'd shed my layers even before I entered the corral, so mild was the temperature that morning. The mood was fun and there was absolutely no pressure where we stood.
Personal engagements with the event organizers meant I've to proceed at a quicker pace than the gang so that I've enough time to freshen up at the hotel, chow down some breakfast before meeting the inbound travel group from Malaysia. As a result I was promptly separated from Nick and the gang just after the start with me running some ways with Man Hon.
Soon enough I was alone passing more along the way, snapping photos as I went along. One of the GCAM Ambassadors, Benita Willis, was herself providing support to the back of the packers. Great to see the greats giving back to the runners.
The 10K route is also run on a racetrack pattern. Runners cross the Southport Bridge at the start heading southwards before u-turning on the other side, making their way northwards towards Runaway Bay before doubling back to the finish at the race precinct.
There were plenty of supporters along the way and there was never a dull stretch which was devoid of cheers. After covering the early Ks between 6:26 to 5:22, I picked up the pace the last 4K (5:15, 5:13, 5:07 and 5:01) just to get the legs working a bit before crossing the line in 55:57.
The run-in through the finishing chute was a teaser for what's to come the next day. The crowd was really thick and enthusiastic and those in the stands screamed even louder as I waved at them! With the finisher tee and medal collected , I hurried back to the hotel to get ready for the rest of the day – the route tour and Garmin Legends Lunch beckoned.
The other guys? I believe "fun" would be an understatement in describing their experience! With the 10K in the bag, my GCAM medal collection is now complete! If you're planning to run GCAM16, be sure to include the Southern Cross University 10K or the Suncorp Bank 5.7K Challenge into the itinerary as part of the marathon eve shakeout run!
Gold Coast Day 1: Run, Harbour Town, Expo
After arriving late Wednesday night, the bunch of us just couldn't wait to get going. Thursday started off early for me, with a short 5K run along the Surfers stretch, just behind the hotel. The crisp air was most welcome and it gave the legs some much needed workout after the flight and sleep.
With the run tucked away, the group decided to spend the next few hours trawling Harbour Town for some deals. I was on the look out for a belt, a replacement for the much traveled and worn-out Deuter backpack and some stuff for the family back home. Since the outlet center has a limited time promotion in conjunction with GCAM15, you'd want to include Harbour Town as part of your itinerary. If you're from overseas, be sure to drop by the Tourism Lounge to pick up your Free Tourism Club Card before getting on with your shopping. To find out more about the outlet and how to get there, check out my previous post [link].
We took things really leisurely and made sure we had coffee breaks along the way. Didn't want to overwork those legs!
From Harbour Town, we headed to the Expo which was at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre. This has been the location for the race pack collection and expo for a number of years. This time around, getting there was made even easier with the G:Linq – the Broadbeach North Station just directly in front of the landmark. Since it was the first day of the expo, the crowd wasn't big at all and we coasted through the race number collection and the exhibition booths very efficiently. Not a moment too soon as my stomach was already growling.
The next day would start with another short run! Photo slideshow from the day's outings can be viewed by clicking on the photo below.

Packing For Your Overseas Races
Packing for your first overseas race? Here are some tips for you, as the day draws nearer.
1. Stow your race gear in your cabin luggage.
If your checked-in luggage goes missing, at least you'll still have your race gear that you've trained in. The rest can be replaced in the worst case scenario but don't let months of training go down the drain because of wardrobe issues.
The stuff I'd have in my backpack would be my racing shoes and socks on top of the racing apparels. My travel itinerary and hotel booking receipts would be in a thin clear folder. I've always found compression socks to be a big help when flying, so that's a given. Other mandatory items are my tablet and iPod as with sound-isolating earbuds. My supplements and gels will go into my check-in.
2. Stay informed
It's always wise to check and read up if your destination country has any special restrictions or regulations. Australian regulations are strict. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service's (ACBPS) Guide for Travelers can be found here. The list of prohibited and restricted imports can be found here, while the detailed downloadable copy here.
I pack my sports gels and energy bars in clear ziploc bags and declare them on entry. The custom officers will verify your declaration, of course, and I've never had issues.
3. It gets easier
As you get more seasoned, you'll be able to fine-tune your packing needs without having to load up a container. Since I'm from the tropics, I find packing for a warm climate easier. That said, my race travel budget is nearly always allocated for a
cooler/colder destination. Afterall I already get to do plenty of running in this country's muggy weather .
Finally, don't forget to bring your passport and other travel documents!
Taper Begins!
In terms of consistency and volume, training for GCAM15 has been one heck of a ride. An 18-week program is a lengthy one. Compared to last year, racing has been kept to an absolute minimum. No ultras (last year I completed Titi and Nuang) nor marathons (did Nagano then) and the handful of races were short and quick ones (Shape, CXP, TM Fan Run) where they would function as speedwork or a "sandwich day" (pre-race/race/recovery).
I felt that by keeping these "fun" long runs aside, I would be able to focus on GCAM training without the protracted recovery days and risks of injuries brought about by the ultras. Over the weeks and months, the body has responded pretty well to the change of base pace. Other than the usual niggles, there's been no injuries. A mild flu floored me in the early weeks but I've been healthy for much of the training period.
With that many hours invested in running and its related activities, maintaining the motivation has been a challenge. Pushing a weekly goal mileage is one motivation (that's where logging your workouts come in), and relying occasionally on music to keep me moving is the other. Music is only a factor when I'm on the treadmill (I relinquished the gym membership at the onset of GST implementation), or when doing my loops around the housing area or park. For safety reasons, I never plug in while running on the roads. On double workout days, music would feature prominently in my sessions. Music, made the miles go by easier . The GC team has been fantastic in training together and so were Comrades veterans Frank and Zijill who provided the extra incentives to pick the hilly routes. If you followed me or the training team on Facebook, you'd have seen how much fun we've had.
If there's a common trait that was observed throughout the months, it would be consistency. Rarely did we skip our organized weekend runs. As a result, the momentum carried over the weekdays as well. That said, I do take unscheduled off-days if I was just too tired. Several good habits were picked up along the way – from spending much less time on social media (all that running meant I've only time left for the truly crucial matters), even not turning on my home laptop for a couple of days, and earlier nights. Waking up for the morning runs became progressively easier.
Shoes worn – Kinvara 5 (regular and Runshield versions), Zante, Breakthru, GRU, GB2, GR4, GS3, Boston Boost, adiZero Ace 6, Ultra Boost, Flyknit Lunar 2, Hitogami, and X-Scream 3D. Gear tested included the Mio Fuse, Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless, Sony Smart B-Trainer.
Now that taper has started, the mileage will of course be reduced but I think I'll be enjoying those shorter and quicker workouts while sleeping in a little more over the weekends.
Since there's no such thing as certainty when it comes down to the outcome of a marathon or indeed Life, I'm as ready as I could've been. The most important thing is to relax, have fun and finish happy come July 5th. I'm already looking forward to breathing in the crisp and clean air in the Gold Coast again!
It'll Be Worth It
It's under 50 days to GCAM15. Just about the time when doubts start to creep in. Even after 28 marathons, each time another race draws nearer, I can't help but have this nagging feeling if I'm ever going to be ready.
Have I adopted a way too aggressive goal? Will the missed days come back to haunt me? Since these unproductive thoughts can't be avoided at least for me, it's a matter of managing them or somehow turning them into positive affirmations, if that's possible! One thing I know for sure is that I'm looking forward to the day when I can sleep in over the weekends .
There are no certainties in a marathon no matter how well one's training went. And I've had some frustrating weeks to be sure. There's no point in dwelling on those but keep forging forward for the remaining crucial weeks. That said, I've been running better than ever – greater consistency the last 2 weeks are reasons for a little optimism. I'm monitoring the body and recovery closely while going through the race strategies based on 3 goal times. It's all these and playing the correct mind games in the pursuit of running better that makes the marathon such an intriguing prospect.

JustRite Friday Sketch Challenge
Stamper's Dream is proudly sponsoring this week's JustRite Friday Challenge. Tosh has drawn up an awesome sketch, and one lucky winner will enjoy a $50 Stamper's Dream gift certificate! Not only that, three honorable mentions will win a JustRite stamp set of their choice! Be sure to check out Cammie's, Michelle's and Tosh's sketch samples, too. Challenge details, including how to link up your creation, are over at the JustRite Inspiration Blog. You have until next Thursday (May 6) at 9 am Central to play along - good luck!
Here's the sketch:
As you can see, I flipped the sketch to suit the vertical oval of this beautiful lighthouse image from the new By the Sea set. If you haven't seen this set of four nautical images (plus four coordinating borders), I hope you'll click on that link and take a look - just gorgeous! Sigh.... Makes me long for the beach.
My lighthouse is stamped on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card stock, then colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol and blending stumps. I knew I'd be using ivory cardstock elsewhere in the design, so I toned down the stark white by inking the perimeter with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. (I tried coloring the image on ivory/natural card stocks, too, but oddly enough preferred the brightness of the white version, especially with the clouds and the yellow lightbeams.) I cut out the image with Spellbinders oval Nestabilities and roughed up the edges with a distressing tool. The ivory oval frame was done with Labels 10 and classic oval Nestabilities.
For the two narrow stips that ground the main image, I used a combination of a distressed Kraft strip and some pleated 5/8" natural twill. The sailor's knot, done with some rope twine from Stampin' Up, was inspired by this card designed by Barbara Anders. The ends of the rope twine have been fed through some jumbo eyelets and secured to the back of the background panel. That entire panel is popped up with foam tape.
The Martha Stewart Deco Shells border punch makes a cameo appearance along the left of the large blue panel. A full border strip was too much, but I thought why not include just a snippet? I like it! It's hard to see in the photo, but I also placed a teeny tiny clear rhinestone on the lighthouse light and then dotted on some clear glitter along the beams.
Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Friday!

Van Persie released a statement on Wednesday which blamed a lack of both ambition and trophies for his decision not to sign a new contract, with the striker immediately linked with a move to Premier League champions Manchester City.
Though Arsenal remain adamant they will not allow Van Persie to leave, the captain's decision to make public his discontent has led to renewed scrutiny of the club's inability to hold onto their best players following the sales of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas last summer.
The debate has now spilled into the halls of power at Emirates Stadium with Usmanov reacting to Van Persie's decision by publicly criticising Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke for the way he is running the club.
Usmanov and Red & White partner Farhad Moshiri, who own just under 30 per cent of the club, have said in an open letter that the current regime's "tight finances" means Wenger is forced into "selling his best players and having to continue to find cheaper replacements. All of that, naturally, comes at the expense of performance on the pitch.
"This policy is leading to the loss of our best players, often to our main competitors, and even causes the players themselves to question their future at the club and the club's ambitions.
"The situation with our captain and outstanding performer from last season Robin van Persie sums this up. Yet again we are faced with losing our true marquee player at the club because we cannot assure him of the future direction and given confidence that we can win trophies.
"Where are the safeguards to ensure that this doesn't happen again and again in the future? As a top club we should, at the very least, match if not beat the offers that other clubs make to try and lure our very best players away, and also provide a more compelling vision of the future."
The letter continued: "You can try and put a good face on a bad game for as long as you want, pontificating about the merits of this model, but it will not hide the obvious fact that it just does not allow our great manager to fully realise his managerial talent and deliver success for the fans who are paying the highest prices in the land.
"It appears that a place in the Champions League will be the pinnacle of our ambition again next season. Unfortunately, in the future we may see this ambition lowered further."
The Uzbek billionaire has been denied a place on Arsenal's board by Kroenke but has repeatedly stated his desire to inject money into the club.
Thursday's letter states Red & White are keen to buy further shares in Arsenal and outlines their vision for a "debt free club, with a big enough war chest to buy top talent players".

In the United States, the implementation of a successful system of mandated reporting of suspected child abuse continues to be plagued by the absence of a clear standard for when one must report. All 50 states of the U.S. have laws requiring certain individuals to report suspected child abuse. However, at present, there are variable thresholds for mandated reporting and no clear consensus on how existing thresholds should be interpreted. Because "child abuse" is often present as a possible etiology for injuries and non-infectious conditions that beset children, it is problematic to suggest that "the mere possibility of child abuse" qualifies as cause to report. In an effort to move toward a more effective system of mandated reporting of child maltreatment, this paper discusses how the absence of a clear threshold affects mandated reporters, examines the relevant legal and conceptual issues, and suggests future directions for policy, practice, and research.

The SART starts at the Green River Golf Course between Corona and Yorba Linda. There are numerous entry points. Where do you live?

If you live in Brea, you head over to Kraemer via Lambert road and head south for about 5 miles.. The river trail is easy to see.. It is 16 miles from Kraemer/ Glassell to the beach..
If you start from Orangewood(next to A stadium) the round trip will be 25.
From Lincoln, the trip is 32.
From Imperial or Yorba Park, it is 42
From Weir Cyn (Rio Java), it is 49

text: I got a brand new desktop computer with an intel i7 and with high graphics card. Right now i am using generic wired keyboard and mouse. And i think this setup would really benefit from a wireless mouse and keyboard for playing games(mostly Warcraft III). And very behind on the latest gaming peripheral technology, and don't think would even use some of the newest gaming mouse features. Should i get a wireless mouse like the Logitech G7 (and leave the keyboard wired), or get a wireless desktop combo that would be adequate for playing Warcraft III. Please give me suggestion, what should i do. Also my budget to buy this peripherals is about $200.

Capcom Releases Update That May Corrupt Saves
Capcom has published a post on its Capcom Unity website that informs gamers about a potentially dangerous first world problem. Apparently, its recent title update for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen has a great included feature that may cause some gamers to have their saves corrupted or prevent them from saving altogether.
The TU, in some cases, has caused players' DD save data to become corrupted (cue Olra purification jokes), meaning the game will no longer save or load their game progress.
To prevent the possibility of permanent loss of your data, please copy your existing save data (whether it be DD or DDDA) to an external storage device or cloud whenever possible–especially if you are picking up the game for the first time in awhile or switching over to Dark Arisen for the first time.
If you experience repeated issues with your save data becoming corrupt, please try playing the game offline while we investigate the issue. We're exploring the issue currently and hope to have a solution as quickly as possible. Many apologies for the inconvenience.
How something like this isn't properly tested first prior to being released to the public is shameful. Capcom claims this issue was unforeseen, but how can something as big as save compatibility be overlooked? That's just poor quality control.
Get it together, Capcom.

Is it normal to have no pregnancy symptoms at 4 weeks?
I miscarried for a second time about 2 months ago at about 9 weeks. I had no pregnancy symptoms whatsoevern. I also miscarried many years ago and had extreme fatique and nausea. This pregnancy turned out to be a molar pregnancy. I am experiencing no symptoms yet again, and am feeling a great deal of stress -- even though I am only just 4 weeks pregnant.

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am 8 weeks. I have been experiencing breast tenderness (EXTREME! YIKES!) since I was about 2 weeks, nausea/vomitting since 6 weeks, and fatigue since about 2 weeks. My first pregnancy 9 years ago was totally different. No symptoms whatsoever...I hadn't a clue I was pregnant until I was between 12 - 14 weeks due to my being very irregular. I am a firm believer that every pregnancy is different, just as every woman is different. Keep a close eye on yourself and take it easy until your first appointment. If something, even the littlest thing doesn't feel or seem right, visit your doctor sooner.posted 02/18/2009 by ~xBrandyLynnx~

The answers here put my mind at ease (slightly). I'm not sure exactly how far I am but it's somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks and I feel nothing. I'm extremely paranoid that something could be going on. Several girls in my office have miscarried in the past few years and I'm terrified that it's going to happen to me as well. I don't see the doctor for the first time until January 19th (yep, I have to wait a whole other week) and I know that my mind won't settle until then. My poor husband and mother...I'm driving them crazy with all the things that are going through my head. I guess I just have to hold on another week, pray for a healthy pregnancy, symptoms or no symptoms.posted 01/10/2009 by MJR1980
Enjoy it don't worry. I have had no symptoms with any of my four pregnancies until that ugly 5-6 week. Then look out. Some people don't ever get sick so I say relax and go enjoy a nice meal while you still can.posted 01/08/2009 by crazymamacas

I have a 4 year old son, when I was pregnant with him I had NO pregnancy symptoms at all the entire pregnancy, nothing! I kept forgeting I was pregnant sometimes, I would bump into something with my belly and be like, oh yeah I forgot that belly was there. It was great! I had a wonderful easy pregnancy, so don't worry! My second pregnancy I was very tired, and very sick, I lost the baby at 9 weeks. I am in my 3rd pregnancy now and I am 7 weeks and again I have no symptoms at all, I am not worried, I know this one will be fine because it is just like my first pregnancy, I feel so at ease now!posted 12/21/2008 by DTban

Maria Grazia Rosin's art installation "Gelatine Lux" — a little piece of underwater Venice, rendered in glass and sound and light — makes its way to Seattle's Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum.
If you want to submerge yourself in a Venetian lagoon, you need go no farther than Lower Queen Anne.
"Gelatine Lux," an installation dreamed up by Italian artist Maria Grazia Rosin, opens Saturday at Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum. It's a subaquatic experience in glass, light and sound — and you don't need scuba gear to explore it.
Rosin, based in the glassmaking center of Murano, began working with glass in the early 1990s. The 20 pieces on display in "Gelatine Lux" — one in a series of installations by that title — are the fruit of her collaboration with Murano master glassblowers Pino Signoretto, Silvano Signoretto, Sergio Tiozzo and Andrea Zilio. They range from recognizable creatures — an octopus, a Portuguese man-of-war — to more hybrid creations composed of pseudopods, crustacean claws and other bits and pieces. Rosin seems to have a special fondness for glowing eyes at the end of inquiring tentacles.
Her underwater menagerie hangs from the ceiling of a dim grottolike room, where building ventilation makes each piece sway slightly. The colors range from red to green to blue to translucent silver. Each speckled fluid form is lit from both without and within, with LED and fiber-optic lighting making the "critters" glow in the dark.

Rosin isn't content to rely on visuals alone. There's a soundtrack for "Gelatine Lux," created by an outfit called Visnadi & Camomatic (Gianni Visnadi and David Mora), and it adds considerably to the atmosphere. Ambient background drone is punctuated by computer-generated underwater sounds, some of them mimicking nature — whale song, dolphin chatter, a sea lion's phlegmy snort and snuffle — while others, such as sonar beeps, are clearly electro-synthetic.
The best way to take in "Gelatine Lux" ("gelatinous light") is simply to sit on one of the three benches at the center of it and feel the sound come at you from all directions, as you let yourself be fooled by the way that brittle glass forms can seem to ripple at the slightest breath of air.
There's a video component, too: "Black Water Hole," a whirlpool/black-hole projection, created by Rosin and Andrew Quinn, "swallowing up" a section of floor as you enter the grotto.
But it's Rosin's murky creatures, with their mix of close natural observation and artistic whimsy, that have the strongest presence here.

Don't worry if you can't find the Asian noodles that these dishes call for. You can easily substitute vermicelli or thin spaghetti for rice stick noodles, whole wheat spaghetti for buckwheat soba noodles, or linguine for udon noodles. Try these Rodale Recipe Finder recipes for easy, comforting Asian noodle bowls; you'll be slurping up some savory, satisfying goodness in no time.
#1: Spicy Salmon and Noodle Soup. This Malaysian soup can be made with either wild salmon or another firm-fleshed fish, such as halibut. For another noodle bowl featuring halibut, try making Thai Fish Stew with Asian Noodles. Halibut happens to be a great source of magnesium, a mineral that helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps blood circulating properly, and ensures strong bones. Eating magnesium-rich foods may also help keep your blood pressure at healthy levels.
#2: Asian Pork Noodle Soup. Pork is a perfect addition to noodle bowls; you don't need much to get a satisfying flavor. And it's also a good source of niacin, a B vitamin that helps your body regulate cholesterol levels. In studies, a prescription version of niacin worked better than a newer, well-marketed drug at boosting the effects of cholesterol-lowering medication. Niacin may also help limit asthma-related wheezing, perhaps by preventing the release of histamine. Another study found that a high daily intake of dietary niacin reduced the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Other options featuring pork include Asian Noodle and Mushroom Soup and this garlic pork dish that's made easy with frozen mixed veggies.
Read on to see recipes for beef, chicken, and tofu noodle bowls.
#3: Beef Soup with Soba Noodles. This immunity-enhancing soup contains beef, which is full of selenium and zinc, two minerals vital to your flu-and-cold-fighting immune system; even a mild zinc deficiency increases the risk of infection. The sulfur compounds in this recipe's scallions also help your body fight germs. For another beefy noodle bowl, try these Curried Beef Noodles made with sweet, creamy coconut milk.
#4: Thai Curried Chicken and Vegetables. The chicken thighs in this recipe are a great source of iron. Getting enough iron ensures that all of the tissues in the body get enough oxygen to function optimally. Iron also plays an important part in maintaining a healthy immune system.
#5: Gingery Vegetable Broth with Tofu and Noodles. Looking for a vegetarian noodle bowl? Try this Japanese-inspired dish. Studies show that eating natural soy foods (such as edamame, tofu, and miso) at least once a week cut Japanese women's breast cancer risk in half. And remember, you can swap vegetable broth, tofu, and other ingredients into most of the above recipes to make a satisfying vegetarian noodle meal.

This is the big one. The 630-miler traces the dramatic peninsula coast of Devon and Cornwall, passing by ragged cliffs, angry ocean, and medieval ruins. It starts on the north coast and works its way around to Land's End, England's most westerly point, before doubling back along the southern shore again. Hikers can take their pick of B&Bs, hostels and campgrounds. If you want to live large, there's a baggage transfer service available, so you can walk pack-free. Parts of the trail are accessible by public transit, so you can hike a few different short sections, too.
