Got a shoe question. I've been very slowly transitioning from my bulky motion control sauconys over to Nike frees 5+. I love the frees and im at the point where i do most of my runs in them. However, i have size 14 and the general comments about the frees is they run small to size and i can confirm that - its been causing some blisters lately. So I can either go up to size 15 but that is probably too big - a 14.5 would be perfect. My other option is to try other shoes with similar style. Any suggestions? TIA.
2014 Sub-3:10
NACN - Great job pacing, strong week of quality + volume!
RunningNY - Good to see you back at it and knocking out a solid time in the short distance. Sounds like we had a similar race experience, my sub-20 was 2nd OA to a kid who won in 18:38.. it was a weird feeling being up there in the front of a race.
RoninMaine - Fingers crossed for perfect weather this Sunday for you. Your training has been spot on, now time to collect that sub3!
SlowRunSmile - Nice, steady increase in mileage on smart paces. A few more weeks of base-building and you'll be ready to tackle that Pfitz plan!
RFW11 - Good luck with your taper, hope the niggles go away!
habs_runner - Good job taking the recovery weeks easy, I typically don't feel back to normal until about 25-28 days post FM. Regarding shoes, I don't have any specific knowledge on the Frees. My own experience - I started running a few years ago in a heavier, bulky shoe the Asics Gel Nimbus. Then as I lost weight, I transitioned to the Asics DS Trainer, a lighter shoe with less cushion. I've been happy with them and through several pair.

Hey All,
Quick check-in. Nice job everyone. The humidity is creeping up now that it is June.
My week last week:
Mon: Rest
Tues: 7.5 @ 8:20
Wed: 7.25 @7:28 w/ 4 LT @ 6:45
Thurs: 5 @ 8:45
Fri: 9.25 @ 7:42
Sat: Rest
Sun: Rest
Total: 29
I planned to run Sun to get the total to about 37, but was up early with the kids and out and about all day. Plus, was up late Sat night watching the Rangers game . So, when I had a free hour later in the day, I opted to take a little snooze rather than run in mid-day 82 degree heat. Not stressing it though!
I may do a 5k this Sat. Gonna gauge the weather and see. It is on Roosevelt Island across the East River from where I live.
Have a good week everyone!
Traveling tomorrow, so quick final pre-race post for me. Had a fine week of tapering and I'm ready to go. My A goal is sub-3, but I have a couple backup goals to keep me mentally focused in case things don't quite work out. B goal: sub-3:10. C goal: I have an old marathon PR of 3:37 so I'll hopefully knock that out. No tracking for the race, but I'll try to post an update on Sunday.
Thanks for all the advice and support for the last 6 months!
Good Luck Sunday Ron!!!!
Good luck! You're training has been awesome, now there's just a 2:59-victory lap left to do!
Ron, after you smoke this race, just post a picture of you flexing your guns with the sign reading 2:57 in the background. My only concern for you tomorrow is whether the picture will come out blurry. YOU'VE GOT THIS!!
M – 5.3 miles @ 7:56's – getting comfortable
T – 10.00 miles @ 8:12's + plus weights
W – 8.0 miles @ 8:23's - tired legs and sore pecs
Th – Gyro run 4.49 miles @ 8:20's tried to make up for it with 3,000 meter swim
F – 8.52 miles @ 7:58's – high wind kind of sucked because I was trying to go a little faster
Sa – Off
Su – 15 miles @8:46's fourteen of the miles were wonderful, easy and slow. The last one was hard on the feet.
Total = 51.31 miles
Habs_runner: Good luck finding a good shoe. I know nothing.
Lawrence: Sorry about the rangers.
I look forward to reading and understanding more of everyone's postings with the information I've learned in Chapter One of Advanced marathoning. Hope to hear about everyone having good workouts this week and Ron's performance. Happy Father's Day to you (where applicable) and your fathers wherever they may be.
Quick update. 3:01:33. Didn't break 3 hours, but won the race. I'm now a very minor, very local celebrity for a short time. I'll have another chance to break 3 hours, but I have to admit it's damn fun to win. Race report later this week. Resting and enjoying beer now.
Ron: Boom! Congrats on the win, wow! Might be a first for the sub-3:10 thread. And to be so close to sub-3 in June means you'll crush it in the cooler temp months. Looking forward to the RR and ENJOY your recovery, you've earned it!
SRS: Nice work on the mileage this week! I've come home w/o socks a few times on long runs with no bathrooms around, we do what we have to do haha.
Week 2 of 13 5k/10k Training - (Daniels v3 Phase II: 2 of 6 - VDOT 54)
M (am) - 4 @ 8:53
M (pm) - Q1: 10 @ 8:15 flats - 2E + 6x(200R, 200 jg, 200R, 200 jg, 400R, 400 jg) + 2E. 200R @ 42s, 400R @ 82s.

W - 13 @ 7:56 hills w/ 10x12s hill sprints
Th (am) - 5 @ 8:44 w/ 8x100
Th (pm) - Q2: 11 @ 7:22 flats - 2E+ 5x(1T/1:00 rest) + 6x(200R, 200 jg) + 2.5E. T's @ 6:19, 200R @ 41s
S - Q3: 16 @ 7:27 w/ 10 @ 6:50
Sn - 5 @ 7:49 w/ 5K @ 22:30 (double BOB stroller w/ ~72 lbs of terror)
70 miles
First week of the program where Daniels calls for three workouts. Q1 I couldn't get going on the 200s for whatever reason but got stronger through the 400s and was able to hit my VDOT pace and felt like I didn't go all out. MP effort was a little tougher yesterday with the humidity. Didn't plan on running the 5K today but figured it would be a challenge to start in the back, first mile 8:30 due to crowds and then we started passing people. Luckily there were no accidents and everyone survived. Can't imagine running more than 70mpw w/ all of the quality in this training program. Toying with the idea of just doing 5k/10k speedwork for 6 weeks and then moving onto higher mileage base-building for the fall FM. Just my personality but I enjoy running a lot of easy miles every week rather than the speedwork. Main goal is sub-3 rather than 5k/10k PRs but I suppose either way, staying at 70 mpw w/ a few hard workouts or moving up towards 100mpw all-easy, might still get me to the same place in the end.
Ron - Superb work! Great time, and a win to top it off! Enjoy your local celebrity status!
Hey fellas,
I'm new to the thread and wanted to play along. I'll be running my first full this fall, at Philly. It may be too ambitious but I want that 3:10. I started running about 1 year ago this month and have ran two half marathons. My first, this last October, was slow and just for the purpose of finishing: 1:57. I lost 35 pounds over last summer/fall, too. I spent the winter training for a hopeful and conservative 1:45, but on race day I ran a 1:30:38 at the Little Rock HM. I know it's not a world beater time, but for me, at 37 and just starting, I was elated.
So now I'm base building for the start of training in July. Your successes have been inspiring and I can't wait to get going.
Here's my week this week.
Tuesday- 6 tempo day. Goal was 2 @ MP, 3 @HM, 1 @ 5k. (what actually happened mi 1 6:53, mi 2 7:26, mi 3 6:36, mi 4 6:37, mi 5 6:40, mi 6 6:21) TROUBLE WITH FINDING THE PACE ON THESE TEMPO DAYS
Wednesday-recovery 35 min, a bit over 4 mi, av pace 8:24
Thursday-- mile repeats @ 5k pace X 3 (mi.1 5:51, mi. 2 6:03, mi. 3 6:08) 6 total miles with warm up/warm down, plus strides
Friday-recovery 35 min, a bit over 4 mi, av 8:29
Saturday-12 miles,aiming for conversational pace, 7:45 av, plus strides
Sunday--6 miles recovery, av 7:52 plus strides
total: 38 miles
I'd also like to get added to the spreadsheet! As far as training plan goes, I met a really nice gentlemen through my wife's marathon team. (My wife has run three marathons in the last few years.) He has a ton of experience and he's an extremely motivational guy. I just reached out to him and he's been writing my weekly plans the last 3 weeks. His main goal, he's said, is to not get me hurt! That sounds good to me. His name is Sid Howard, so you could put me down on the "Sid Howard Plan."
Ron - Great job. Local celebrity and forum celebrity. I will be like a kid waiting for something special in the mail as I anticipate your race report. You earned it.
rayray - Welcome! If you are running 1:30 halfs this soon than I don't think 3:10 is a crazy idea to start. As I am sure you know you will refine your goals as your training progresses and the race approaches.
Quick update. 3:01:33. Didn't break 3 hours, but won the race. I'm now a very minor, very local celebrity for a short time. I'll have another chance to break 3 hours, but I have to admit it's damn fun to win. Race report later this week. Resting and enjoying beer now.
Did you flex your guns as you broke through the finish lines? Do they have finish lines? I wouldn't know; I never WON anything! Great job, Ron! You'll break 3 when you have someone in front of you! Enjoy your moment!
Reminds me of a line from Hoosiers:
Coach Norman Dale: You know, most people would kill... to be treated like a god, just for a few moments.
Another solid training week, even with a weekend trip to Boston in the mix. I just turned 45 on Friday, and so far the new age group is suiting me just fine.
Monday--10.4 @ 8:40
Tuesday--4.1 @ 8:19, followed by 12 @ 7:24. Including repeats at 10K pace.
Wednesday--10.7 @ 8:25 and 3.5 @ 11:46 (coaching run-walkers during marathon training session)
Thursday--15.4 @ 7:49 and 1.6 very easy (coaching 10K group through circuit training session)
Friday--7.5 @ 7:59 (Birthday run in Salem, MA)
Saturday--10.6 @ 8:32 (more mileage in Salem/Beverly area)
Sunday--7.1 @ 8:20 (ran along the Charles River in Boston/Cambridge)
Total--81.9 miles
Great week, SRS! Sorry about the gyro run, I guess it's one of those things that we all near to learn as we go.
Welcome, rayrayray! It looks like you're off to a good start with the 3:10 quest.
thomas--as usual, another excellent week!
LT--did you run that 5K over the weekend?
So, I was just perusing marathonguide.com and came across this on their weekend marathon updates. Hmmm, this must be our celebrity RONINMAINE! Yeah! Love the late surge with 4 miles to go. CONGRATS!
Bay of Fundy International Marathon - Jun 15 - Lubec, ME
Ron Peck, of Waterville ME, won the 2014 Bay of Fundy International Marathon in 3:02:11. The runner-up was Andrew Fudge, of South Weymouth MA, in 3:04:32. Peck overtook Fudge for the lead with four miles left on his way to the victory. Ty Thurlow, of Littleton ME, claimed third in 3:06:29.
Lydia Kouletsis, of Oakland ME, made for a memorable marathon debut. She led from start to finish, finishing in 3:24:04. Jessica Rutherford, of St. Petersburg FL, was second in 3:25:03. Dominique Beaudin, of Mukwonago WI, claimed third in 3:37:56.
Ron- Way to go!!!! Looking forward to the RR, but congrats on the 1st place. Hope your still celebrating!
NCAN- Wow what a week! You recovered amazingly fast. Keep up the great stuff.
rayrayray- Welcome! Look forward to following your training.
Slowrunsmile- Solid week-- sorry about the gyro it has hit us all I am sure. I usually run trails with a bit of tp in the belt just in case.
Thomas- Another great week-- I can not imaging 70+ mile with that speed built in. I was very proud to push up and over 70 but it was ALL slow and easy. I am very interested in seeing how this cycle translates back into the marathon. I am looking forward to putting a little speed back into my week-- soon
Me- Had a bit of a nervous week. All in all I feel well prepared for the 50 miler on Saturday-- I have hit a lot of trails and ended up running more miles than planned as I felt good. Out of nowhere Tuesday night (about 2 hours AFTER my easy 6 miler) my soleus area started feeling like it was getting knotted up. I did not think much of it just figured it was more taper jitters and ignored it. Wednesday I went to work, did not notice a thing, then went to the gym to do an easy 7 miler. I got on the treadmill and from the very first step it was very tight, sore/painful to run. I stopped, stretched really well, went back at it and walking was fine, but running hurt. So I put the treadmill up to 15% grade to do some hill walking and see if that would loosen it up. I did a mile then moved the slope down to 6% and the speed up to 10mpm and did a mile at that pace-- the short stride seemed to help a little. After about 2.5 miles total it started to hurt more and became a sharp pain so I just cut it off there. I stretched and went home-- and started the Ice, Ibuprofen, and rest. I took Thursday and Friday off with just a good bit of stretching and it seemed to be OK by Saturday. So I ended my taper week 2 with a 10 on Sat and 5 on Sunday. I am not really worried about missing a few 6-7 mile runs but hope this is not something that will come back this week. I did an easy 6 today and will probably do 5-6 Tuesday and Wednesday-- then take off Thursday. I will likely do a 1-2 mile loosen up Friday then at 6am Saturday morning the fun begins
We have a cabin on site where the start finish is and our own 4 person hot tub on the porch. We will stock the fridge with beer so after the run we can re-hydrate in the hot tub -- we may need a lifeguard...
Happy trails,
rayrayray - Welcome! I think you have a great shot at sub-3:10 at Philly, it's a PR friendly course and usually the temps are in that ideal 45-55 range. I was in a similar situation going into my first FM, running for about a year and had just run a 1:31 HM before starting an 18 week buildup to the FM, peaking at 55 mpw. Ran a 3:08 which is still a PR I can't shake
NACN - Awesome consistency, happy birthday!
RoninMaine - Hope you are enjoying recovery. There's a video clip of the finish online, nice!
Rob - Sorry to hear about the soleus pain. Looks like you are addressing it well. I had a recurring niggle last FM cycle that kept popping up in the soleus but it responded well to active rolling, icing and ibuprofen as you are doing. Sounds like Saturday is going to be a lot of fun, best of luck to you!
Just an FYI everyone, BAA just announced Boston registration will open Monday, Sept 8. Same date as last year I think. Field size TBD.
Hey Everyone,
The summer heat has arrived in the northeast. I had a good week last week. I did not do the 5k Sat morning since I was up late watching my Rangers Friday night.
Mon: 5.5 @ 8:08
Tues: Rest
Wed: 7.5 @ 7:41
Thurs: 7.5 @ 7:44
Fri: 5 @ 8:35
Sat: Rest
Sun: 9.5 @ 7:39 w/ last 4 @ 7:10 doing 8 fartleks of 1 min hard/3 min easy. Was really moving on the 1 minute hard with nice form.
Total: 35 Miles
Just staying consistent with some moderately paced runs and about 1 run per week of either fartleks, stepdowns or tempo.
Oh I am woefully behind ...
RON I LOVE THIS! Can I have your autograph? Seriously, that just, well, rocks. Congrats. Wonderful.
Thomas … you continue to amaze me with your training.
Lawrence … sorry about your Rangers man. Though I do have a friend who lives in LA and sort of lives and breathes the Kings. Dunno how you can do that in LA, but whatever. But she is a marathoner and is coming up to run Twin Cities in October (she's from here).
Ray - Welcome! If you don't score a sub-3:10 this go-around, you will, without a doubt. Maybe I missed it … but what's your age?
As for me, I don't feel like much of a marathoner, because I'm running short and fast … but that's all part of the plan for the summer. Most days I'm doing 15-20 minutes of light weights and stretching at the gym by our house … and it's making tons of difference in keeping the injuries at bay. My goal is to keep chipping away at pace … so I get back to where sub-7:00 seems effortless in the heat/humidity, and see where that leaves me when fall marathon training starts in earnest.
So we'll see how that goes.
But Ron is our star of the moment. Love this!
Thanks all for the early encouragement.
Steve- I'm 37, turning 38 next month.
Ron- wow. just wow. Huge congrats.
RFW-sounds like an amazing adventure you're about to have.
Lawrence--sorry bout those Rangers, but the training's gotta make you feel good.
Ron - Wow! Grabbing the lead with 4M to go. Way to finish strong! Looking forward to the RR
Thomas - This may start sounding repetitive but amazing how you get that mileage in with that speed work.
RayRayRay - Welcome aboard! It will be a fun ride!
Just realized Ron bumped from #5 on the age graded marathon results! Nicely done.
I wonder if maybe Ron went to Disney World after his win. I am eagerly anticipating his race report.
EEEK! First of all, I would like to apologize for being so non-existent.I hope you have all had successful races, training and are looking forward to great races!
i have taken on a new job, which adds to my other 5 jobs including momming, running, baking, computer nerding, and home rentals. Somewhere in there I have lost a bit of the "racer" in Racer A but i am feeling ok to "Jogger A" (A is for Alyssa the Grandma's marathon. I still have the A+ goal of breaking sub 3 someday and i will not let that go unitl i turn 45 or so, so i have a few years to hold on to hope.
Just had to check in here so that if anyone does track, don;t worry if i am jogging it out with the 3:30 pacer. That is, if i can hold onto that
Recreational running is so much more challenging than trained up and ready to race running. Going to try and just enjoy. Grandma's Marathon is really the best organized marathon i have run, with the best aid stations for sure. Lets hope that good weather and the great support stations can jog me through the marathon
Hope everything is great with you all!
Steve inMn: I am thinking of targeting twin cities for a sub 3:20 race. may run whistlestop instead since it is so close to home. Hey, great job in your recent 1:29 half. Sweet!
Hey all,
Hope everyone's having a good week of training. I wanted to ask a quick question that could fit in the general forum, but I'm really only interested in what the "3:10 Crew" has to say.
How many of you in the thread have used a pace team in trying to get that 3:10?
I ask because I notice that Philly, my fall marathon, has a 3:05 pace team and a 3:15 pace team, but not a 3:10. Anyone run across a similar thing in your race? I was surprised because I figured it was a popular pace time, especially for my age group 35-39 yr old, males.
Thanks in advance.

Weather looks perfect racer.a! Well, close to perfect. Slight headwind, but temps are right on. I agree on Grandma's and the organization. I guess I'd put Boston ahead of it, but it's a close second. They have a lot in common actually -- point-to-point, buses to the start, really nice fan support, high caliber of runner. The only races of any distance I haven't finished in the top 10% are Boston and Grandma's … but yet I BQ'd in them. That speaks volumes of the caliber of runner who runs. Twin Cities is wonderful but can't compare in that department.
Enjoy the culmination of all your hard work! I'm sorta jealous to be honest.
Re: Twin Cities … let me know your plans! It's my goal marathon now. Not sure I'm quite to sub-3:10 … but getting close. Training so far this spring has been super.
Anyway … have a blast tomorrow and I'll be watching ya!

Nope, haven't had opportunity to really shoot for 3:10 seriously yet. But I'll share my pace-group-use experience. I've used them most successfully by running behind them 30 yards or so. I keep them in sight but stay out of the fray so I can avoid the emotional angst.
But when the time is right … I join them and then pass them. And then the game becomes staying ahead of them to avoid the embarrassment of getting passed up by runners I passed.
I've done this a few times in half-marathons … twice to break 1:30. Works for me. I would think that strategy would work in marathons … though it's unfortunate there's no 3:10 pacer. 3:05 pacer … wow, that's a commitment. Are they changing out at the half point?
racer.a - Good luck and have fun today!
rayrayray - I ran Philly last year. Lined up in the back of the 1st corral, that's where anyone going for 3:10 full hang out. I found 2 guys going for 3:10 so was able to run with them until I cramped up later. I think your 1:30 HM gets you into the 1st corral, but if not, get to the front of the 2nd corral, there will be people going for the 1:35 half since both races start together.
Shout-out to racer.a … 3:22:38 at Grandma's today, a BQ - 17:30 or so! I, for one, think that's substantially better than the 3:30 you had sort of predicted. Way to kick butt on limited training … you're a champ!
Looking forward to hearing the report!
FYI, a 33-year-old course record fell at Grandma's today. Pretty cool. http://www.startribune.com/sports/264102351.html
racer.a: Congrats on the great race!
5k/10k Training, Week 3 of 13

T - Q1: 10 @ 8:10 w/ 4x200@41s (200jg rec) + firstname.lastname@example.com (400 jg rec) + 4x200@42s (200 jg rec)

Sn - 16 @ 7:49 w/ 1,000 ft of gain, ending w/ 6x60s uphill @ 5k effort (jg down rec)
80 Miles
Had been at 70 for the past several weeks, decided to bump it up this week since everything has felt good. Q1's 400s were pretty much on point for my VDOT and felt like I wasn't going all-out. For Q2 this week, Daniels introduces the subjective "H" (hard) pace in v3, which is somewhere between R (5:28) and I (5:57) for my VDOT. It allowed me to get in 20 minutes of running at year-end goal sub-18 5k pace. I'm doing all of the speedwork on roads and not the track per the advice of Magill. Also working in his hill repeat suggestions into my long run in the weeks when Daniels doesn't call for M miles.
I believe... I believe that... I believe that we will win.. Go USA!

Very nice, so impressive Thomas! And nice bit o' doubles on Monday. Question: Have you ever felt you risked injury from doing doubles? I've only done them once -- ever -- I think … and it wasn't much mileage at all (3 miles in the morning before an evening 5K).
Well, I'll put one foot back on the marathon-training bandwagon, I guess, by reporting on my week. I say "one foot" because the next race is a July 4 half. After that I'll begin something resembling a 12-week Hansons program before Twin Cities in early October.
Monday: 5 miles of pretty intense hills work. The hill has a rise of about 110 feet for a quarter mile. We can do a loop where the trip down the hill is twice is long. So we did that loop four times -- a five-mile jaunt. Good workout.
Tuesday: Swim and weights.
Wednesday: 5 miles at 7:17, 7:07, 6:31, 6:32, and 7:25.
Thursday: 6 miles as 7:22, 7:05, 7:01, 6:50, 7:00, 7:13.
Friday: 8.25-mile run home from work, 7:24 pace (7:02 to 7:45)
Saturday: Recovery run of 5K, 8:00 pace.
Sunday: 11 miles, 7:36 pace (7:09 to 7:56). A tad humid.
Total: 38 miles.
And not a niggle, yay! I've been doing very light weights pretty much every evening … just 15-20 minutes worth. Included are leg lifts on a machine … something that's always scared me a bit, for fear of messing up my knees. But I've been doing them with either no extra weight or no more than 10 pounds. It (and a few other exercises) just seems to get the blood moving in the evening, and knocks those niggles right out of my knees, quads, etc.
So still going to focus on speed here for a few more weeks.
Have a good week all!
racer a- you absolutely killed it. huge congrats.
thomas: that's some seriously impressive, quality week, with tons of mile to boot. inspiring. maybe one day i'll build up to there with you. not anytime soon, I'm afraid.
SteveinMinn--must feel great to do all that without a "niggle." I feel like the niggles have been an ever-present part of the running thing since I started this time. good for you!
As for my week, i was a bit on the light side. I'm looking at about 22 weeks out, so this was a drop back in my base building, actually.
Tuesday- 2@HMP, 1@5k, 2@HMP. The miles at HMP were in the 6:40s and the 1@5K was 5:38. Plus 3X50m strides
Wednesday-35 mins easy
Thursday- 12X400m, with 200m recovery between each. I was between 79-84 seconds on all of these. Happy that the 79 was last, not first. one mile warmup/ one mile warm down. Plus 3X50 M strides
Friday-35 min easy
saturday- 10 @ 7:48
sunday- 6@ 7:50
total: somewhere around 35 miles.
Racer.A - 17 minutes under boston = great job even if it wasn't the best you got!
RFW - How did ultra go? i hope soleus was fine.
Thomas and NACN - sick training! I hope you two nail your goals with all the work you're putting in.
Rayrayray - good luck building up! 22 weeks and you're going to crush.
Lawrence - sorry about Rangers
Ron - great video of you crossing the finish!
Folks, we broke out the slow run smile yesterday! It was low 70's with amazing humidity and I loved it for 16 of the easiest miles at 8:30 that I have even jogged. Each step was easier then the one before it and took out all the niggles. I kept waiting to get tired and achy and never did. by mile 7, my shoes were squishing with each stride due to the amount of sweat I giving off. It was like being baptized and putting my gluttonous self in the rearview mirror. My neighbor said he saw me and i looked like i was laughing to myself. No headphones. Just my waterpak and my lungs.
But not everything was peachy last week. I took and unscheduled day of rest after waking up Tuesday with neck pain. It went away as the week went on.
I'm at 195 and my weight hasn't changed in weeks, but I look and feel completely different. i'm hoping to start opening up my stride without risking injury so I can burn more and go faster. Then, I'll see the weight fly off.
T - played it safe with neck pain
Th - 8.00 @ 8:50 - Slow and humid
Fr - 10.00 @ 8:13
Saturday - off
Su - 16.00 @ 8:30
51.59 miles for the week. 16 weeks until Chicago. Not sure if take it up some more this week or give myself a recover week and focus on swimming. Good running this week everyone! Best to you all!

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Plugging pieces together - HELP! http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=55512&th=11225#msg_55512 <![CDATA[Hello,

 I got my first prototype yesterday, and found some flaws with my design.

 A few of the intricate details, were too close together so either a gap wasn't made, or it just blended them together.

 I did print it in Strong flexible plastic, and while I bumped up the thickness significantly on any piece that was weak or broken, I would like to print in Fine Ultra Detail for my next prototype.

 My issue is that the sword with the cap on the handle doesn't slide into the toys hand, so I want to remove the cap, but leave a tab for the handle to plug into the cap once it is in the figures hand.

 My question is, how do I attach the cap to my model, so that it is printed as one, but can easily be broken off and attached separately? What should the diameter of the supporting piece attaching the cap to the sword be?

 Also how long would you recommend the tab that plugs into the cap be? Currently it is 3mm long with a diameter of 2.5mm.

Being so tiny, it would probably be best attaching them with a removable "sprue" much like the way pieces in a model kit are held to their from. That way they don't get lost in cleaning.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-10-17T17:52:11-00:00

Stuart Holden's injury woes continued when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee while on international duty with the United States.
The midfielder therefore joined young full-back Joe Riley on sidelines - the defender having suffered a similar injury - and Mark Davies, who the Trotters are hopeful will be back before Christmas from a knee problem.
Striker Jermaine Beckford could make his Bolton debut but will not do so in tandem with Marvin Sordell after he secured a season-long loan to Charlton on Thursday.

The traditionally good relations between Switzerland and Italy are characterised by close economic, political, human and cultural ties, a common language and frequent visits at all levels.
Bilateral relations Switzerland–Italy
Key aspects of diplomatic relations
Bilateral relations between Switzerland and Italy are based on a complex set of agreements. Regular meetings are held between government and official representatives of both countries, in addition to which there is institutionalised contact between the two parliaments.
In May 2012, Switzerland and Italy initiated a dialogue on their respective financial and fiscal sectors. With respect to energy and transport policy, as well as the development of infrastructure, close cooperation is already under way.
Switzerland and Italy consider dialogue on agriculture to be important, and discussions on that subject took place in February 2013 for the second time. Dialogue of this kind provides Switzerland with a welcome opportunity to raise bilateral, European and international issues with its third-largest trading partner.
Agencies such as Regio Insubrica, Regio Sempione and the Italian-Swiss cross-border dialogue provide an institutional framework for cross-border cooperation.
Switzerland will be taking part with a pavilion in Expo Milano 2015 – Feeding the planet, Energy for life. It will also organise a series of events in various Italian cities in preparation for the Expo.
Around 500,000 Italian citizens live in Switzerland. They represent an important part of relations between the two countries.
Economic cooperation
Italy is Switzerland's third-largest trading partner, after Germany and the United States, with a balance of trade which is regularly in surplus (CHF 3.7 billion in 2014).
With direct investments of CHF 26.8 billion, Switzerland created over 78,000 jobs in Italy in 2013. In the same year, Italy made CHF 4 billion of direct investments in Switzerland, providing jobs for 13,000 people.
Activity is particularly intense along the two countries' shared border, where close to 70,000 Italians cross into Switzerland every day in order to go to work.
Trade promotion (Switzerland Global Enterprise)
Swiss Chamber of Commerce for Italy (it)
Italian Chamber of Commerce for Switzerland (de, fr, it)
State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO / Country profile (fr)
Cooperation in education, research and innovation
There are four Swiss schools, located in Milan, Bergamo, Rome, Como and Catania. Swiss universities also maintain good and long-standing contacts with partner institutions in Italy. The creation of the USI Università della Svizzera italiana and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) have helped to consolidate academic and cultural bonds between Switzerland and Italy.
Moreover, academic cooperation has benefited from the agreement on mutual recognition of university qualifications. The scientific commission, whose mandate is to encourage cooperation, promote double doctorate programmes and improve the recognition of academic qualifications, met for the first time in 2010.
Italian researchers and artists can apply for a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
USI Università della Svizzera italiana (it)
SUPSI University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (it)
SERI: Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships for foreign scholars and artists
Cultural exchanges
Intensive relations between Switzerland and Italy also exist in the cultural sphere. Since 1947, Switzerland has maintained the "Istituto Svizzero di Roma" which is dedicated to cultural and scientific exchanges and has a regional office in Milan, the "Centro culturale svizzero". The FDFA is participating in joint projects throughout the world as part of the "Settimana della lingua italiana nel mondo" initiated by the Italian foreign ministry.
Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: La settimana della lingua italiana nel mondo (it)
Swiss nationals in Italy
51,535 Swiss citizens were living in Italy in 2014.
History of bilateral relations
Switzerland and Italy have enjoyed diplomatic relations since the founding of the Italian state in 1861. Celebrations to commemorate the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Italy were held in 2011 at the same time as the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification.
In 1957, the Federal Council upgraded the Swiss legation in Rome, which had been maintained since 1871, to an embassy.

Lackawanna County seeks members for human services board
Lackawanna County is looking for people to help guide how it delivers human services.
As the county moves toward integration of its human services programs, including participation in a new state block grant initiative, it is establishing a 15- to 17-member board to assess the community's needs and advise the commissioners and the Department of Human Services on the best way to address them.
"The whole purpose of this board is really to get community input into how this whole new human services model is going to operate, especially now that we have been approved for the human services block grant," county human services Director William Browning said Tuesday.
County officials hope to have the human services advisory board in place by the end of March. Applications are available at the "Boards & Authorities" link on the county website, www.lackawannacounty.org.
Mr. Browning said he will make recommendations, but the commissioners will have the final say and appoint the board members.
The state Department of Public Welfare announced in October that Lackawanna had been approved to participate in the block grant program for fiscal 2014. The program gives counties flexibility in deciding where to spend the money from seven state funding streams for human services.
At the time, the county was already taking steps to restructure its human services functions to eliminate duplication, particularly in administration.
"Instead of having five separate fiscal offices that do everything independently, at least have coordination so we as a county can actually report to the community and say this is where your dollars are going," Mr. Browning said.
The state requires counties that participate in the block grant program to have a human services planning committee. With the human services advisory board, the county is taking the committee concept "to something we feel is much more meaningful," Mr. Browning said.
Its membership will be drawn from a cross-section of the community that includes, among others, human services providers, advocacy groups, nonprofit organizations and consumers. Mr. Browning would like to have some academics involved, as well as individuals, such as quality assurance experts, who are "used to looking at outcomes, data and the big picture."
"In part because we are looking at integrating all of our human services, we want this to be a higher-level board that can look at all of the services from a higher level and see how we are providing them," he said.

The catalog format, that is; not the paper.
Take one look at the Ralph Lauren or Restoration Hardware iPad catalog apps and you'll see the death of print catalogs.
Industry observers have for some time been announcing the demise of print catalogs. The web came along and totally changed the way a consumer could browse merchandise without traveling to a store. Then digital catalogs stored on e-commerce sites enticed some consumers who liked the catalog format but also liked the web to view reproductions of print catalogs online. But these new tablet catalog apps are spectacular—a reimagining of the format for the 21st century.
Why on earth would I want to shuffle my way through pages of print, staring at static pictures of models when I could be waving my iPad back and forth making the models switch outfits? Or tipping the iPad to control the direction of a cyclist? Or blowing into the microphone hole to make a model twirl her dress for me? Come on, you tell me, which is the better customer experience?
And look at those pictures. High-resolution, eye-popping imagery that leaves print-quality pictures in the dust. Swiping my way through the pages of Restoration Hardware's app makes me feel like I'm in a store. The pictures are that vivid. And all you need to do is touch a product and you're immediately on the product details page where you can get a boatload of information for which there is no room in a print catalog—not to mention the fact that you can buy the product then and there.
I'm certain retailers out there have tablet apps in the works that are going to stretch the boundaries of what the devices can do. Virtually anything you can do on the web can be replicated on a tablet, so think of all the ways Internet technology can be used to bring a catalog to life. How about hold your finger on a picture of a product to bring up a window with a demonstration video within? Provide background music as a consumer browses the catalog app, as if they were in a store? Or use tablet GPS technology to change apparel assortment from one region to another?
Older folk still like their paper catalogs, and may not be as inclined as younger generations to pick up a tablet. But the day is coming, and I think sooner than expected, when catalogs become quaint reminders of yesteryear. And you don't want to be a quaint reminder of yesteryear, do you?

The Whiteland baseball team's magic ran out Saturday evening at the Class 4A Evansville Reitz Regional. Barely.
Undisputed underdogs in the four-team field, the unranked Warriors earned a dramatic semifinal win and nearly conjured an upset in the final.
Whiteland's improbable run ended in the championship game with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss against Castle.
Whiteland loaded the bases in the top of the seventh inning, and with two outs, sophomore second baseman Caleb Dieter hit a line drive to right, but was robbed of a go-ahead hit with a sprawling catch by the Castle defender, ending the game.
Earlier Saturday, however, Whiteland pulled off an upset with a thrilling 5-4 win against Jeffersonville on a two-out walk-off home run in the seventh inning by Austin Browning.
The blast ended Jeffersonville's season at 21-8.
Whiteland coach Scott Sherry said as disappointed as the team was not to win its final game, it will be able to walk away with the recognition it achieved something significant.
Finishing at 12-18, Whiteland was the only team in the regional field with a losing record.
"I think they were pretty in touch with having done something special," he said. "We talked about how Whiteland has only had two regional wins in its history. They competed and played hard and realized what they can do. They played their hearts out.
"I couldn't have been prouder of the group. This was a total team effort."
As in its sectional win earlier in the week, Whiteland got a strong 1-2 pitching effort from seniors Jared Adkins and Codey Stewart. Adkins pitched a complete game victory in the semifinal, with Stewart pitching out of several jams in the final.
Castle left 11 runners on base for the contest.
"They both pitched really well," Sherry said. "(Castle) got some guys on and Codey seemed to just keep leaving them out there all game."
Castle moves onto the semistate with a 25-9 record.

Which do you want first: good news or bad
When someone says, "I have good news and bad news," which one do you prefer to hear first?
Joe went to his doctor who posed that question to him.
"Give me the good news first," Joe said.
"You have 24 hours to live," the doctor told him.
Clutching his chest, Joe said, "If that's the good news, what's the bad news?"
The doctor said, "I meant to tell you yesterday."

My first week of healthy eating and exercising was a success.
I worked out and had a smoothie for breakfast every day last week. I even tried a new recipe for something I have never made before, granola bars.
I would have never guessed these things were so easy to make and now that I see how quick and yummy they are I am excited to switch them up a bit by adding different nuts and dried fruits to the recipe.

Personal Finance
Islamic versions of personal loans are based on the Quranic principle that 'God has permitted trade but forbidden usury' (2:275). They are structured as sale contracts with the bank's profit being conceived as a return on legitimate trade rather than as the receipt of a time penalty for the customer having deprived the bank of the use of the money for a period, as with interest.
There is a shortage of ways of advancing cash to individuals at a profit in an Islamically acceptable form. Any institution prepared to do it in a non-profit making form, that is, as a qard hasan, will have the blessing of its advisory scholars but probably not of its shareholders. Companies also have serious problems in meeting their short-term liquidity needs in a shari'a compliant way; this is usually cited as the biggest obstacle to the growth of the Islamic finance industry. However, companies which trade on a large scale are more likely to be able to access acceptable ways and means of providing liquidity. The replacement of interest-based small personal loans is a keenly felt omission in the provision of shari'a compliant finance in the United Kingdom. Most of the banks that have found it worth their while to offer home finance have not felt able to introduce personal finance facilities for their retail customers. Perhaps

Landon Donovan to play one last time for US National Team
Landon Donovan's international soccer career ended quite unceremoniously, with the US legend being left off the 2014 World Cup squad. But he'll still have his chance to say goodbye, as he'll suit up one final time for the Americans this fall.
US Soccer announced Tuesday that Donovan will be on the field in an Oct. 10 friendly against Ecuador in Connecticut.
"Playing for the US National Team has been a huge part of my career and I'm ecstatic to have the opportunity to play for my country one last time," Donovan said. "I'm so grateful to all the fans that have supported me and this game will give me the chance to say thank you to all of them. I look forward to a great evening and I'm thankful to U.S. Soccer for making this happen."
Donovan announced earlier this month he'd be retiring from professional soccer following the MLS season.
"For 15 years, Landon has thrilled us with his amazing abilities on the field and impressed us with his gracious approach off the field," US Soccer President Sunil Gulati said. "We are looking forward to celebrating his legacy during our next home National Team match and allowing fans the opportunity to thank him for all the memories he's provided over the years."

MY HTC Incredible S running with android 2.3.3, unrooted. What I need is, I would like to see different images or pictures for each home screen. How can I use multiple images as my background?
MY HTC Incredible S running with android 2.3.3, unrooted. What I need is, I would like to see different images or pictures for each home screen. How can I use multiple images as my background?
I do not think you understand what you mean. The procedure that you used is to change the background of Windows Today, and not TouchFlo3D. It means you're not using TF3D? Because the background of what you set it from Settings tab-> Background
So far as I know, but you can select with the selection of the image as the background of the image. If you are in this selection does not go far enough " to come out " / can enlarge the frame, you can also try to enlarge the image on the PC left and right, and the newly created position in a desired color to color (e.g. black or white, depending on taste) . By then you had to have the possibility enlarge the area so far, which does not rule the image zoomed in too far.
Portrait mode you can take for the lockscreen horizontal format as wallpaper, if you choose these formats, you can pull apart the green box and see the entire whole picture. The pictures on your pc you can you cope with almost any cut any photo program to the correct size.
To resolve this problem (and then see their faces in full), simply select a photo with the face smaller, maybe even take a photo of the bust and a background in order to have the face of such magnitude as to enter (as width) in only one home and then not be cut, since you have to use a photo that you "stretch" through all the home that you have set...
Although I do not know which ROM you have, but with the sense Virtuous Unity 3.0 and 3.0 RCMixHD sense ROM is no longer possible, think 3.0 is the more sense from not at all the pictures you can handle without cutting use as background.
The "wallpaper background image" app brings color to your Android phone and is also still completely free. Unfortunately the quality of the wallpaper sometimes something to be desired, since most are not therefore in sharp HD graphics. Great HD Wallpaper is available via the App Best HD Wallpapers.
Note: This application requires Android OS 1.5 or higher. On the download button you will be on Android Market fed, through which you can install the software.

Secrets of Success
Surprisingly Disappointed (BLog #445)
Thursday, November 14, 2013
I had forgotten in the past year how much of a competitor (with myself) that I am. I do well with setting a goal and working hard to meet it. I like seeing my efforts add up. I like seeing a finish line way way in the distance and approaching it slowly and steadily. I like seeing that I am racking up the miles on my bike and my feet.
I had forgotten. So, when I got the new spark tracker, I did not do it for the data it could give me. I did it for the potential ease of tracking. It has been ok. I have found that it is not super accurate, but it does keep track of my cycling better than other trackers. What surprised me today is what happened when I forgot to put it in my pocket.
Let me back up a little. Last night I went to the gym and put in a very good workout on the treadmill. I had planned to do about 30 minutes given that I am not in love with the indoor treadmill plan. But then my little competitive voice started to take over (YEY!!) "You can go for another 15 for a total of 45.. and then another 15 for an even 60 minutes... Well, maybe 30 more for an even hour and a half." In the end I walked and jogged for 90 minutes.
And all the while, I remembered that my tracker was on and I really did not want to NOT get the GLOW of all of the little dots. LOL.. Really?? The little dots got to me? Yup. They sure did! Simply, I did not want to stop until I was sure I had all my dots. It was not just the time. It was the racking up of all the dots.
Today though, I was surprised by the disappointment I felt when I realized that I had forgotten my tracker on the dining room table. Even though I was 45 minutes from home, I actually thought about calling my husband to bring me the tiny little tracker so that when I got to the gym later in the day, I would have it. And then I had that "hand to forehead" moment asking myself "ARE YOU SERIOUS!? You are going to call your husband for a tracker?" My more logical self did kick in and I did not call him, but it bugged me the entire time I was at the gym tonight that I was not tracking every step. That is going to mess up my goal to get all my dots lit up every day this week.
I went to the gym and I remained disappointed that my tracker was not doing its job. This is the ultimate in a gamified approach to weight loss and fitness work. At least for me, the fact that a little bitty piece of technology can easily get me to work a little harder and a little longer. The surprising disappointment is tightly linked to my brain's need to compete and feel little successes with every dot on the tracker.

I am always looking at those little dots on my treadmill!!! I always try to put in a few more minutes than I normally do and if I see those little dots blinking, I will not give up until they shine steady. Yes, the mind can play tricks but for me it's a positive thing...helps push me beyond my comfort zone! 90 minutes on the treadmill...wow...I'm lucky if I can get in a hour!
You go girl!

From what I've read, I'm not impressed with the Spark tracker (for me) - moving is moving, steps are steps whether they come in 1, 5 or 10 minute increments. Perhaps for athletes like you and ONEKIDSMOM they provide some motivation, but I'll take my FitBit any day - particularly since
is just as important as
Glad you've found something that works for you!

LOL... since I got my tracker I've had only 3 days of not lighting up all the dots... and you are right... it is one of those "stupid motivational tricks" that work. If I leave it off? Or now, when I have lent one of my other trackers to my son? I miss it!

Lucha Underground season 2
While everyone is keeping a positive attitude towards the future, there are doubts that season two of Lucha Underground is going to happen. John Morrison himself mentioned the possibility of the promotion going out of business during his recent podcast interview with Steve Austin. Morrison stated that he would look for work elsewhere in the industry if that were to happen.
