Finding Marc's Family: Marc and His Wife Struggle with Red Tape, Daughter's Lingering Illness
As thousands of Haitians flee the capital of Port-au-Prince, Marc Henry Bigot of Miami is going in to rescue what is left of his family. Wall Street Journal reporter Gina Chon is accompanying Marc on his journey. Follow his story here on Dispatch, and on Facebook.
Marc's wife Olinia rose early Monday so she could arrive at the U.S. embassy's help center by 9 a.m. sharp to check on the status of her visa. But when she got there it was closed.
"I was so disappointed that I wanted to cry," she said.
Olinia is not an American citizen. Both Marc and their daughter are U.S. citizens, so Olinia needs a visa to travel with them back to Miami.
Before the earthquake, the embassy had given Olinia a sheet of paper with phone numbers to call. Marc tried again and again to call them, but got a busy signal on each try.
Marc wants to take a commercial flight back to the U.S. — rather than hitch a ride on a government or aid agency plane — so that he can take back a decent amount of his family's belongings. But it's unclear when commercial flights will resume. Some say they will start this week while others say mid-February. Marc is hoping that by the time they do start up again, the lines at the embassy will have dwindled.
Rumors of another earthquake swirl through the city, whipped up by aftershocks that continue almost every day. "Everyone's talking but no one knows what is going on," Marc said.
And with their two-year-old daughter still not feeling well, Olinia has decided she will take her to a doctor tomorrow morning. Marc thinks she's not seriously sick, but has probably caught some sort of illness from sleeping outside and breathing in the smoke from the burning trash.
"I think it's something that will pass, but it's taking time for everyone's body to adjust to the new situation in Haiti," he said.

Lào Cai Province is located in the north of Vietnam and is home to the country's largest mountain in Fansipan. It borders the provinces of Hà Giang, Yên Bái, Sơn La, and Lai Châu, as well as the Chinese province of Yunnan. The province is bisected by the Red River, the most significant river of northern Vietnam, which flows out of China towards the capital Hanoi. Much of the province is heavily forested and the climate is usually temperate, although lowland areas tend to have less variation than the mountainous regions.
The major attraction in the province is Sapa, where a vibrant market can be found and where treks to the rural parts of the country make their start. Here local guides will take you through the rice paddies and waterfalls to observe the hill tribes and stunning scenery.

FLASHBACK: Caterham R620 at the 'Ring
There's something about driving a Caterham that just makes me smile. It's real driving with all the 'fluff' cut out. No ABS, no power assistance, just you and the machine. If you're a bad driver, most Caterhams will just feel difficult or awkward. Like your actions are being tolerated, but at some point in the future the car might decide to do something else.
But the Caterham R620 is a bit more direct than that. It doesn't whisper behind your back about bad steering input. It doesn't leave snide notes pinned to the kitchen notice board about a wavering throttle position. It steps up toe-to-toe with its driver and then attempts to kill him.

The younger sister of Prince William's wife Catherine, Pippa,
29, will compete in the Speight's Coast to Coast
multi-discipline event, due to start on February 8 at Kumara
Beach on the West Coast of the South Island.
The party planner and author has spoken of the upcoming
challenge in a column she penned for British magazine The
"It may sound dauntingly hearty but really it's just good
fun, plus it provides some routine, discipline and fitness,"
Pippa wrote of her preparations for the triathlon-like event.
"I'd better hold back on the food and drink, starting now."
No stranger to an outdoor contest, Pippa's recent adventures
include climbing Mont Blanc, sailing the Atlantic and
competing in the world's longest cross-country ski race in
Sweden, according to Britain's Daily Telegraph.
The NZ event is held over one or two days with competitors
cycling 140km in three stages, running 36km and and kayaking
67km as they traverse rugged conditions to reach Sumner Beach
on the Pacific Ocean.
Pippa shot to fame after being watched by the world as the
Duchess of Cambridge's bridesmaid at the April, 2011
Westminster Abbey royal wedding.
Her first book, Celebrate, a basic party planning guide, has
been widely panned for its simplicity and has recorded
struggling sales.
Among its tips is advice for the organisers of Christmas
parties: "choose if you can, a Christmas-themed menu. A
turkey, for example, can be perfect for large gatherings".
In The Spectator, Pippa admitted she has been "much teased"
over the hardcover.
"But in my defence, let me say this: Celebrate is meant to be
a guide to party planning and, as such, it has to cover the
basics. If I were to write a cookery book, for instance, I
would be compelled to say that to make an omelette you have
to break at least one egg."

As promised, we have re-enabled the old subscription types so if you feel that they offer you greater flexibility, you can opt for them, instead of the new bundles.
As mentioned before, these deals are only open to the people who were previously on the Gold/ Silver/ Bronze subscriptions, so the link will only be visible to those eligible.
We do honestly feel that the new subs are a better solution based on the feedback that we have gathered over the last year or so, as I takes so long to build up your content library with the old deals.
As always, please contact any of the staff if you have any problems.

Thanks Amos, I had to renew my sub over the weekend and so took one of the new subscriptions as per your advice to get me by, what do I need to do now to get that swapped back onto the old monthly sub again?

The fact that Moviestorm Ltd listens to us, the customer base, and makes changes to their business model based on our comments and issues speaks well to them as a company.
The big benefit for me and buying the software outright is not having to log in every 14 days. (I haven't exceeded 14 days yet, so I'm hoping that it really works as advertised!)
I hope that everyone can find either a subscription plan or a purchase plan that works for them.

Ok, I can see that the general consensus is that some of you were happier on the old deals. For this reason, I'm speaking to Dave to get the old deals put back on the subscription page (Bronze, Silver and Gold). As always, these will have to be tested before we deploy them so they won't be available immediately, but you should be able to see them in the list over the next few days.
For those of you whose subs are due to expire over the weekend, and need to continue using Moviestorm, please subscribe to one of the new deals, and I will change your subscription status, add points and refund any difference once we have the deals available again. Please note that the original subs will only be available to those eligible (if you previously has a Gold, Silver or Bronze at the beginning of November last year), new users will be better suited to the new subscriptions as they come with bundled content.
Thanks for your feedback, everyone. We'll start getting the old subs paired up with the new payment system.

The only method that we have to process payments at the moment is through Paypal, I'm afraid.
It is possible to process a credit card purchase through the Paypal gateway without signing up for a Paypal account, just click on the "Don't have a Paypal Account" at the bottom right of the screen and you can purchase Moviestorm using your credit card.
I hope this helps, if you are still having problems please PM one of the staff or email support and we'll see if there's anything we can do to help.

Maybe the state should put Dean Taucher on the payroll. The Piermont resident has now twice spotted an errant Tappan Zee Constructors barge floating down the river, a potential danger that's occurred three times since September. On March 30, Taucher saw a steel-pile-laden barge heading south on the Hudson and called local police and then a Journal News reporter, who in turn informed a New York State Thruway Authority official. Really, in that order.
The new bridge is the first project in New York to employ a "Design-Build" method, which gives one contractor — in this case, Tappan Zee Constructors — responsibility from design to construction. Design-Build promises huge savings for the state, by minimizing change orders and cost overruns. But has coordination and oversight suffered? Is Taucher, from his window, providing a closer look than the state?
Not according to Thruway Executive Director Thomas Madison. "One of the benefits of Design-Build is to have flexibility," he told the Editorial Board on Friday. Thruway and TZC have created an "integrated project team working together on an hourly basis."
Even with that coordinated effort, it appears that concerns remain. Brian Conybeare, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's special adviser for the project, said of the three runaway barge incidents: "The TZC has gotten the message that this is totally unacceptable."
After the latest barge incident, Thruway officials huffed and puffed and pledged to withhold payments from the consortium creating a new Tappan Zee crossing until certain safety measures are taken. "In response to the September and January incidents, the Thruway Authority ordered a comprehensive review of TZC's safety, security and barge mooring methods," a March 31 Thruway press release states, "Several safety enhancements were recommended and have been or are being put into place." Those include GPS devices on each barge to alert authorities, and better mooring equipment and practices.
Why was that done in January, after the second runaway barge incident, and not in September 2013, when the first TZC barge broke free from its mooring and traveled approximately one mile before being secured? The Jan. 3 incident involved two barges, owned by a TZC subcontractor; they broke free during a winter storm, with one secured several miles downriver and the other reaching Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx.
In both cases, the Thruway Authority stated, "No injuries or property damage were reported during this incident." A dose of sheer luck contributed to that outcome.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard has expanded safety zones around the bridge construction site on the water. In anticipation of boating season, and in memory of the deadly boat crash into a barge last summer, every safety precaution is welcome.
Path to where?
Confusion and consternation are also bubbling up over plans for the new bridge's walking/biking pathway that will include six "belvederes" offering stunning views of the Lower Hudson Valley. The path is expected to draw tourists to Tarrytown and South Nyack. The Thruway owns land around the bridge's footprint on the Westchester side, but on the Rockland side, the path is plopped amid residential streets and single-family homes.
Many villagers want the path terminus to replace giant, loopy Interchange 10, which wiped out downtown when it was built in the 1950s. Conybeare said there could be some "connectivity" in the future, but the path will be finished before the Thruway's done using the land as a construction staging area. The village was awarded $250,000 from the state's Community Benefits Program to study the best ways to use any reclaimed land.
Nearby homeowners are trying to decide if they should sell (often at a loss) to TZC after the Thruway backed off earlier plans to take several homes by eminent domain. One Cornelison Avenue homeowner is losing a third of his backyard, and half his swimming pool, to eminent domain. Conybeare said Friday that the state continues to work with TZC on an amicable resolution; "The governor wants to do those folks some good."
Communication ebbs and flows
Cuomo acted forcefully in 2011, when he streamlined a decade-plus plan to get a new safe-and-secure crossing built. At the behest of many, including this Editorial Board, Cuomo appointed a special adviser to bring transparency to a complex process. Conybeare has met with officials, homeowners and anyone else to discuss the project.
Yet, communication about the Tappan Zee project has ebbed and flowed. Tolls for the new crossing remain a mystery, as do funding sources for a fancy bus rapid transit plan that was tacked onto the downsized project to win political support.
Cuomo's championing of a Design-Build law for New York made the massive Tappan Zee project more viable and affordable. The project is due for completion in 2018.
But the bridge remains a key state asset; the Thruway Authority must not falter in its duty to provide oversight and information. Let's hope that in the future, the Thruway gives Dean Taucher information about the project, instead of the other way around.

It's National Fire Prevention week, and Jackson County fire agencies are educating hundreds of elementary school students on how to prepare for one.
This year's campaign focuses on smoke alarms. Experts say people often forget to change batteries, and recommend doing so twice a year, as well as testing them monthly.
The National Fire Prevention Agency estimates there were approximately 1.3 million fires last year that killed more than 3,000 people.
The event concludes this Saturday with Marianna's Fire Safety Funday.

Watson makes (your) it elementaryAugust 29, 2014
Big Blue tonight announced the Watson Discovery Advisor, a cloud-based tool that will let researchers tap into Watson's big data processing smarts to speed up their work.
Remember Watson? It is the computer system built by Big Blue that understands natural languange. So much so, that it competed and won on Jeorpardy! against real human opponents.
Now available to researchers, some luck students, startups and anyone with a good idea (and presumably deep pockets!)
How long before we all have Watson-like tech in our pockets?
You know you've been neglecting your blog when …August 15, 2014
The last post you had was from last year's conference.
Which is on in two week's time.
Yes, it is time for Australian Blogging conference put on by Darren & his amazing team over at Problogger Events – I bought the ticket way back in March!
Accommodation was booked a few days ago and flights just yesterday.
Let's hope I got them all correct – I certainly was distracted when I booked the flight up to the Gold Coast, since I was stung by the $8.50 fee the airlines love to charge when you don't use the very specific payment method they like. This leg is on Tiger and I plain forgot to use the Mastercard. Duh.
Just quietly – the process of booking flights is exhausting. Navigating through all the options, upgrades and upsells was just nasty. Which, I suppose, is the point. They'd love you to cave in at some point and just book whatever they stick onto your fare.
Such a shame they can't be a bit more friendly to the customer.

Robot Cars are here – only if the insurers allowJuly 18, 2013
Robot cars are here. The waiting is over. Get used to it – but only if the insurance companies let you!
The fact is that robot cars have in fact been with us for five years already, as noted by FuturePundit back in 2006:
Skepticism about the feasibility of computer-operated vehicles became harder to maintain when the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's Grand Challenge periodic contest for autonomous driverless vehicles finally produced winners in October 2005.
So why aren't the car showrooms full of self-driving robot cars? That's a great question. One that was answered, for me, at the Singularity Summit Australia a few weeks ago here in Melbourne by James Newton-Thomas.
James spoke about his career with AI (artificial intelligence) – way back in the 1980s he had developed loan officer systems that the human loan officers came to rely upon! Through the 1990s he worked on autonomous vehicle AIs for Caterpillar (the big name in mining vehicles.) The comment that really piqued my interest was this : having developed a robot vehicle to replace human operators, the stumbling block to implementation around the year 2000 was that the insurance premium was so high that it wasn't a financially viable option.
Now that is really interesting. This means that ten years ago JNT had developed a robot vehicle that was ready for work in the mining industry but was essentially blocked by the insurance industry!
Why was the premium so high? I am not an insurance industry expert, so I couldn't tell you. James did mention that his impression at the time was that since there was no history, no set of facts upon which to calculate the risk, the insurers erred on the cautious side (as they should be wont to do) and went high. Really high.
So that's where we were until this week. Robot cars are certainly possible, because they have been built. Sure, not in mass production. Sure there are still limitations, but those are being rapidly eroded.
Then everything changed – Google announced on October 9th, 2010 that they not only had built robot cars, but that they had driven them over 225,000km in San Francisco!
Our automated cars, manned by trained operators, just drove from our Mountain View campus to our Santa Monica office and on to Hollywood Boulevard. They've driven down Lombard Street, crossed the Golden Gate bridge, navigated the Pacific Coast Highway, and even made it all the way around Lake Tahoe. All in all, our self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles.
Wow – that means there's over five thousand driving hours (assuming 25mph average urban speed) of robot cars. In an urban environment.
Is that enough data for an insurer to make a better assessment? We can only hope so.
Quick Links after a meeting with friendsJuly 15, 2013
Last week I was fortunate enough to catch up with some very good friends back in Sydney. This is a really smart bunch – we've known each other since university. The conversation was fantastic, ranging over many topics. At some point I realised a collection of links to some of these might be useful.
Speaking of encryption, online safety and such

Third monitor on your MacBook Pro? Sure!March 16, 2012
This morning I had a sudden urge to find out about adding a third (or fourth) external monitor to my MacBook Pro. I've been a multiple monitor user off and on since the early 1990's – I do find the extra screen real estate very useful.
I'll assume you can add a second monitor – that just requires the appropriate dongle (cable) from Apple for your model.
All of this will be dramatically simpler once more Thunderbolt devices are around – the latest Macs now hav this super high speed port to connect multiple monitors, external drives and so on. For the rest of us slumming it with slightly older gear :
Here's a few notes on what's happening with multiple monitor setups these days:
- Got a spare HD TV you could use as a monitor? Try the Imation Link Wireless HD Audio/Video Extender – as pointed out on Rexblog this works quite well once the Mac software is installed. Cost? $99
- Did you know there are USB connectors? This Diamond BVU195 HD USB Display Adapter Danny Sullivan used two of these in his four monitor setup! Cost? $66
- There's an app for that! Air Display is a ten buck app that turns your iPad, iPhone & even iPod touch into an external monitor for your Mac (and Windows too.) Requires both to be on the same wifi network. How good will this look on the new iPad? Cost? about $10
Now I just need a spare monitor or two and a long weekend to try some of these out!
Note: some of these links are affiliate links and could result in me being paid.

Galois theory allows one to reduce certain problems in field theory, especially those related to field extensions, to problems in group theory. For questions about field theory and not Galois theory, use the (field-theory) tag instead. For questions about abstractions of Galois theory, use (galois-connections).
Galois theory is an area of abstract algebra introduced by Evariste Galois. The key point is that it provides a connection between field theory and group theory. We can achieve a greater level of abstraction by a correspondence between two partially ordered sets called Galois connections.

Faster Web Applications with SCGI
If you're operating a Web server, chances are, you're not merely serving up static text and images. You're likely to be running some Web applications as well, where pages are generated on the fly by some program or script using CGI (Common Gateway Interface). Think of blogging software, bug trackers, news sites and content management systems—anything that turns the browser from a document viewer into a user interface. And, you probably write or at least tweak some of these yourself.
This article shows how to build faster Web applications using an alternative to CGI called SCGI (Simple Common Gateway Interface). SCGI is a protocol, not just a program, but its authors also provide a reference implementation, which is what we use here. It includes modules to use SCGI from Apache or lighttpd and Python classes to help you create SCGI applications. Implementations in other languages are available, but we examine the combination of Apache 2.x and Python here.
Normally, a Web application runs briefly, but very frequently, in child processes of the Web server. When a client requests a page, the Web server consults its configuration and finds that the request should go to the application. It delegates the request to a child process, which in turn loads and runs the application program. The program may be a binary or a script in Perl, Python or PHP, shell commands, or just about anything else. The CGI standard defines how the program receives details about the request, including requested URL, requested body, authenticated user identity and originating IP address. The program reads these, produces a page in answer to the client's request, and exits. All this happens again at the next request.
Loading, running and exiting programs can be costly. It does make sense for sloppy programs: they may use memory without ever freeing it up again, for instance. In that case, you want the program to run briefly and then let the operating system clean up after it. But, with today's popular languages—Perl, Python, PHP, Java and shell scripts—there really aren't many problems with this. A well-written application really should be able to handle multiple requests in a single run.
SCGI lets your program start once and continue servicing requests for as long as it likes. It works like this: a separate server process, called an SCGI server, runs separately from the Web server and manages one Web application. The Web server forwards all requests for that application to the application's SCGI server. It passes on details about the request in much the same form as in regular CGI.
The SCGI server delegates the request to a child process, just like the Web server did with a regular CGI application. The child process also runs the application, but that's where the similarity ends. Instead of exiting after it's done with that one request, the application can sit and wait for a new one. Each of the SCGI server's child processes runs one instance of the application, each sleeping until there is work for it to do.
The SCGI server spawns a new child process when none are available to take on the latest request—up to a configurable maximum, of course. It also cleans up crashing or exiting child processes, so your Web application can still bail out if things go wrong. But, most of the time, when a request arrives, the application is ready and waiting for it. That's why Ruby on Rails, the Web application framework, comes with the option to run on SCGI; it would be too slow otherwise.
If the speedup isn't enough for you, there's more. The SCGI server process can be running on the same system as the Web server, but it doesn't have to be. You can offload the server by delegating some Web applications to separate systems, preferably behind a firewall where only the Web server can access them.
Even with just a single server, you can use SCGI to contain vulnerabilities. A normal CGI application starts out running under the same user identity as the Web server process. If an attacker manages to subvert a normal CGI application, your entire Web site may be at risk. An SCGI server, on the other hand, can run under its own user identity, so it can't easily affect the Web server or other applications even if it does run amok. Conversely, you don't need to give the Web server access to the application's code or data anymore; only the application as run by the SCGI server needs access. Everyone else must go through the Web server, which in turn talks to the SCGI server.
You also can run an application in a chroot environment or a virtualized server. With CGI, that quickly becomes expensive and hard to manage. When using SCGI, you start only one server process in your isolated environment—whether it's a chroot jail, a virtualized server, a different user identity or another machine—and the entire application will stay there.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

LAFAYETTE, Colo. (May 14, 2013)--A teacher found a suspicious package inside a high school in Lafayette, Colo., and took it outside, where police determined it was a bomb and detonated it.
A 16-year-old student was arrested after the explosive device was found Monday morning at Centaurus High School.
Lafayette Police Cmdr. Gene McCausey said the device was similar to a pipe bomb.
The discovery forced the evacuation of the school and the closure of a nearby road for several hours.
McCausey says the device could have hurt people nearby had it exploded.
The FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are involved in the investigation.

I didnt have this issue however yesterday, I could not log in as it kept saying invalid password. Then I tried to recover my password and it said email address not found.
Then this morning, I came on and while my password was still incorrect, I was able to recover my password as the system finally found my email account - so perhaps there was some issue?
Sorry to hijack, just thought Id add to assist in their investigation as it may have been a broader issue.

I purchased a Mac Mini Server a while back and it's been a slow go getting it set up. One of the biggest hiccups is WAN access to the server, which leads me to believe it's a port forwarding issue.
I have a Motorola SBG6580 Modem (modem/wireless/router all-in-one). I thought that I had all of the ports forwarded appropriately, but whenever I do a scan all the ports are still blocked. In the port forwarding settings it gives me fields to add an external IP address and ports as well as internal IP address and ports. I have the internal IP address set to the server and I've tried both my WAN IP as well as all 0's.
I've turned the firewall off and I can connect to the server internally using the domain. I've checked with Comcast and they don't show these ports as blocked on their network. ipsec and pptp passthrough are enabled. Is there another setting that I need to consider?
Update: I spent some time chatting with Motorola to double check the setup of port forwarding and it looks like it's set up right. I might be returning this modem to Best Buy since I've ruled out all of the settings (or at least the ones I can think of).

Former Colorado State University climatologist William Gray said Tuesday that would be nearly twice as busy as an average September. Gray has been issuing hurricane forecasts at Colorado State University for 25 years.
Tropical Storm Ike, which formed Monday, and Tropical Storm Josephine, which formed Tuesday, count toward the five storms in the September forecast, said Phil Klotzbach, a member of the research team and author of the September report.
Klotzbach said Hanna, which reached hurricane strength on Monday before weakening back to a tropical storm on Tuesday, counts toward the four hurricanes forecast for September. However, it isn't included in September's five expected tropical storms because it initially held that status in August.
Three other Atlantic hurricanes have been recorded so far this season: Bertha and Dolly in July and Gustav in August.
The team's latest predictions cover only September and are not a revision of its season-long forecast. The team's most recent seasonal prediction, issued Aug. 5, called for a total of nine Atlantic hurricanes during the season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.

Heaven & Hell RR
A highly scenic route with some severe climbs and descents, this year the aptly named Heaven and Hell had some rather fine Springlike weather..... although, when the runners finally went over that ten mile top, their last three miles turned out to be a fight against a stiff cold headwind .....hmm, tough one ....but certainly a lovely course ... for the well trained .....

Livingston I Presume ?....................................................With most Scottish clubs represented,and many star runners sprinkled among the stalwarts (instead of disappearing into the distance !), there was lots of strong competition here. But it was also a very social occasion with many old and new road running chums meeting up again..... a day of serious fun !

012 Round the Houses
Well, the change of seasons certainly came in on cue and the massive turnout was treated to a classic Scottish Spring day with bright sun, cool air and no wind .....and, I almost forgot, that splendid almost pancake flat course with minimal twists and turns. Bringing in runners from all over, this historic race is set to run and run !

Don't know if they're counting that one but I seem to remember the first Alloa Half, over a different course, was actually over fifteen miles long. Well, time slips in, things move on, and more people have watches! Sunday gave us splendid weather, not quite Spring but it might as well have been. So, keep on running Wee County, you're looking good !

There was an impressive turn out of the regulars and others for this popular spring sharpener. They were well protected from the breeze on the dam approach trail, and once up on the circuit path the splendid Ochil views no doubt made it all worth while ........as did the delicious spread waiting for them back in Sauchie Hall !

Yes, heavy rain before the race switched off with five minutes to the start ... and it was sunny for the drive home . Still, with over three hundred women to lighten up those grey skies, and with an ideal lack of March wind, the Arbroath race was once again a great success..... Roll on the twentyfifth Smokies 10 !

The large turnout for the first Devilla Forest Race were treated to an unusually spacious car park as well as super efficient organisation and marshalling.

They came from all over the country to compete in this roller coaster and sample the surprisingly varied surface conditions ranging from lots of the finest most delicate mud, to gritty paths, parkland grass, and even a small water jump. While the women had to endure a stinging snow shower at the start, the men enjoyed soft Spring sunshine throughout ! .....

Forfar MT HM
There was certainly a nip in the air at Forfar this year and the frozen ground was iron hard which produced one or two skint knees, but, on the other hand, the wetlands, which we all look forward to so much, were reduced to a mere muddy channel.... ho hum, can't have everything I suppose. Still, a great day out for the bravehearts !

It was a pretty nice day for a Sunday morning run in Strathclyde Country Park and good to see such a large turn out of Club runners.

Climatic conditions on Saturday were not really suitable for picture making or, I suspect, for cross country running.

Afternoon at Deans ................................................
Conditions can be extremely variable up on Dechmont Law, and this year it seemed almost like a stroll in the park ... relatively speaking of course. Many of the runners were reporting better times than the previous year .... no doubt they had all got a bit fitter ..... although not having to plough through ankle deep mud probably did help a little !

Glen Clova HM
You never know what conditions to expect when you head up Glen Clova.

Although there was a constant threat of rain it didn't arrive. There was no mud to speak of, and the worst of it was the midges .... but I guess they wouldn't seriously affect the runners .....

Yes, it's a big congratulations to Central AC for giving us ten years of this fast flat and carefully measured 10k classic ! On the day it turned out nicely cool with only a very slight breeze to upset anyone....

Well, it certainly is a flat course, but maybe not as fast as it might have been due to that strong wind blasting down from the north along the river....

A breeze against them on the outward crossing gave the runners something to think about but could never take away from those splendid river views and the exhileration of high bridge running.

The Call of the Sea !.....
Starting in the splendid Camperdown Park and heading down to finish at Monifieth gave this half marathon a race profile to suggest good times ... but, there were quite a few undulations and turns in the largely offroad and cycle path route making it a reasonably tough course . Still, it was good to see a large turnout of runners of all abilities still attracted to the classic 13.1 ... and good to see the Dundee race surviving ... and growing.

On the waterfront again, and this year the contenders were met with a seriously stiff breeze on the outward leg of the race...no doubt well compensated by the magnificant river panoramic views. Also, once they reached the turn there was that fine following wind to maybe give them the elusive negative split..... even a PB ?

Adrian Stott and Alan Young had a dream and Perth's North Inch was the perfect setting for the 24 hour race (blue numbers) and the 100km race (white numbers) . The weather was variable, some rain but not cold, for this relentless turning of the screw to test the mental and physical endurance of the brave few who fear nothing and know that anything is possible.

Awesome Blogs. Dutch design. The Puzzleboard by OOOMS can be used in more ways than one: each board can be used on its own as a cutting board or serving plate, or put some boards together and you have super-sized your workspace.
It's ideal for cutting those long baguettes! But the best thing is that any wineglass can be fitted into the blank spot of a board. Using the boards at parties allows guests to enjoy both wine & delicacies, while still having one hand free to greet other friends.

When the city inspector general came down on 13 part-time Parks & Recreation staffers for holding two public-sector jobs at the same time, they were fired and held out as examples. But questions raised by a GOP ward leader and candidate for City Council spurred the city controller to ask both the solicitor and the inspector general whether the same thing is happening at the Cabinet level.
