The 'Commercial, Community and Conservation' Forestry Approach in Liberia
September 7, 2011 - Liberia's forests cover 4.4 million hectares, roughly 46% of its land area, and constitute by far the largest remaining tracts (43%) of the Upper Guinean Tropical Rainforest, a recognized hotspot for biodiversity which is considered a global priority for conservation.
An enormously valuable environmental and economic asset, Liberia's forests house a range of important biodiversity including, some 240 tree species, 2,000 flowering plants, 125 mammal and 590 bird species, 74 reptiles and amphibians and over 1,000 insect species. Rural communities depend heavily on the forests for fuel wood, building materials, foods and medicinal plants, as well as a wide range of other non-timber forest products. Properly managed, Liberia's forests have great potential to contribute, in a balanced way, to long-term, sustainable economic growth and employment, supporting the livelihoods of local and rural communities, and ensuring that their important national and global biological heritage is conserved.
Unfortunately, as often arises in situations of conflict, a country's natural resources pay a heavy price, and such was the case for Liberia's forests during the country's civil strife. In May 2003, sanctions imposed on Liberia by the UN Security Council in 2001 were extended to include a ban on timber production and export based on evidence that suggested that the country's forestry stocks were being vastly over-exploited and used primarily to finance the civil conflict.
To spur the lifting of the sanctions, an ambitious forests sector reform process was launched in 2004, led by the establishment of the Liberia Forests Initiative (LFI). This multi-donor platform, initiated by the Liberian Forestry Development Authority and the Government of the United States, brought together the World Bank and a coalition of donor governments, lending agencies, nongovernmental organizations and civil society participants.
The LFI supported a cross-cutting approach to forests sector reform through promotion of transparent, sustainable, fiscally prudent forest sector management, with a view to improving the livelihood of communities in forested areas. Its objectives included building local capacity for improved forest management, establishing sustainable policies and good practices, tracking revenues, supporting a "Chain of Custody" system to verify legal timber practices and creating a network of protected areas. Forest conservation efforts were promoted using what has come to be known as the "3Cs – commercial, community and conservation – forestry" approach.
The LFI's efforts were underpinned by the passing of Liberia's Forest Sector Reform Law in October 2006, and a regulatory framework, involving 12 forest regulations governing its implementation, in August 2007. Its new Forestry Policy has further been complemented by the Community Rights Law on Forest Lands of 2009, which set the framework for sustainable and equitable forest management. Liberia's forestry reform process has become an example for other countries.
The World Bank has supported Liberia's forests sector reform through a variety of initiatives. GEF funding in particular, has allowed the Bank to provide critical support for three key projects.
One has resulted in the elaboration and adoption of an effective park management process in the Sapo National Park, recognized as the most pristine tract of forest in West Africa and home to the pygmy hippopotamus. Another has laid the foundations for the creation of a protected areas network that will encompass 5 protected areas in the country's western region, and the third area of intervention seeks to entrench sustainable community livelihoods around Liberia's protected areas.
The success of Liberia's overall forest sector reform, supported by its GEF-funded activities, has paved the way for scale-up in the sector.
The "3 Cs" approach has evolved into the "4 Cs" approach with the addition of carbon, as the Government actively seeks to tap into the country's carbon sequestration potential.

The Psychology of Superstition (cont.)
For example, if an athlete develops a ritual before a game, something Vyse says many coaches encourage, it may help to calm and focus him or her like repeating a mantra. "That's not superstitious," says Vyse. On the other hand, he says if you think tapping the ball a certain number of times makes you win the game, you've entered superstitious territory.
You might be wondering if certain superstitious behaviors -- such as like counting the number of times you tap a ball -- are really a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). People with OCD often have compulsions to do rituals over and over again, often interfering with everyday life. A good example is Jack Nicholson's character in the movie As Good As It Gets, who skips cracks in the sidewalk and eats at the same table in the same restaurant every day, with an inability to cope with any change in routine. While some of the symptoms of OCD can mimic superstitious behavior (and the two aren't mutually exclusive) Vyse says most of the evidence would indicate there is no connection between the two.
"We don't think of anxiety disorders [such as OCD] as superstitious thinking. We think of it as irrational thinking, and most of our patients understand that," says Paul Foxman, PhD, an anxiety expert from Burlington, Vt. "But I do have patients that tell me that they believe that if they don't worry about something, then the likelihood of it happening will go up, and that is a superstitious thought," he says.
The key is to pay attention to your own thinking, particularly if you experience any symptoms of anxiety -- tension, excessive worry, trouble sleeping, obsessive thoughts and exhaustion, for example. If you experience these symptoms or find that you have repetitive ritualized behavior that's out of control -- superstitious or not -- get professional help from a doctor or therapist.
Driving Forces
Wanting more control or certainty is the driving force behind most superstitions. We tend to look for some kind of a rule, or an explanation for why things happen. "Sometimes the creation of a false certainty is better than no certainty at all, and that is what much of the research suggests," says Vyse.
Job interviews, testing, and other situations where we want things to go well -- regardless of our own preparation or performance -- can spur superstitious thoughts. "We are often in situations in life where something really important is about to happen, we've prepared for it as best we can, but it's still uncertain; it's still unclear," Vyse says. No matter how confident or prepared you are for an event -- whether it's a football game, a wedding, or a presentation -- things can still happen beyond your control. "Superstitions provide people with the sense that they've done one more thing to try to ensure the outcome they are looking for."

Apprentice open day success
Published by Hywel Lloyd for Merlin Housing Society in Housing and also in Education
Visitors to Merlin's apprentice open day were hoping to follow in the footsteps of the apprentices who started in September
Dozens of young people came along to an open event to learn about an apprenticeship with Merlin Housing Society and the hope of a new job in the new year.
Around 70 would-be plumbers, plasterers and electricians attended the event at Merlin's apprenticeship partner, South Gloucestershire and Stroud College last Wednesday. They were there to learn more about Merlin's apprenticeship programme and with the hope of being one of the 13 apprentices the social landlord is taking on next year.
A number of staff were on hand for the young people to talk to and find out more about Merlin's work, including Merlin Works Managing Director Winston Williams.
"We were delighted with the number of people who turned up to learn about our apprenticeship programme," he said. "They showed a real appetite and enthusiasm and we're confident we will find some good additions to our workforce from these young people.
"As a growing business we're committed to providing opportunities for young people to begin their careers, especially at a time when youth unemployment is high. Apprenticeships offer a valuable route into employment for young people, giving them the chance to learn and earn money at the same time."
Patrick Mcleod, Director of Workplace Training commented: "SGS College working with Merlin is a natural partnership. Merlin is a major employer within South Gloucestershire. Both organisations strive to serve our local communities and the high turnout shows the benefits of the partnership to our South Gloucestershire residents."
Many of those who came along to find out more about the apprenticeship scheme were Merlin residents. The society made a concerted effort to encourage its young residents to attend the event.
The first three apprentices will start in February, with the other ten starting their apprenticeships in September. They will spend four days a week working at Merlin and the other day studying towards an NVQ at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.
They will be working alongside the seven new apprentices Merlin took on in September. The social landlord is committed to taking on ten apprentices every year in its works team.

Shoes: Converse
A tip if you want to try this look out, the v-necks on these undershirts are way too high so I pulled and pulled at mine until it was stretched to the point that I liked it at. I also rolled up the sleeves so that it created a better fit. Oh and I bought a size Medium because I wanted to make sure it was long and baggy enough.
They are sold out of my hat online but there are still some cute styles available and all are under $20! (click on an image to take you to the link)

Warn Industries launched a line of underbody armor for the Arctic Cat Prowler, Polaris Ranger and Yamaha Rhino, along with a number of large-bore quads.
Products debuting at Dealer Expo included durable A-arm guards and skid plates for UTVs and ATVs, and robust Rock Sliders to protect the sides of a UTV. Hardware is provided with purchase.
The parts use existing hardware attachment locations wherever possible. "We've engineered our Body Armor to have minimal effect on the riding experience while providing superior protection," says Warn's Patrick Storm. "Clearance and approach angles are maintained as much as possible, and there are strategically placed drain holes to allow adequate drainage and minimize mud buildup."

A friend of mine from High School once told me it was "documented in history books" that Joseph Smith was a crook. When I asked for this documentation, he produced a reference to an alleged trial in 1826. I researched the event extensively and found there to be little substance to the claim. My research is published here, and my conclusion was basically that although the hard evidence from published accounts/records indicates Joseph Smith was detained and brought before a judge under an accusation of being a "disorderly person," there is no evidence of an actual trial that could result in an indictment or verdict.
Also, if anyone tries to tell you that being accused (or even convicted and punished) in a court of law makes a person a "crook," remind them of what that would make of Christ and many of his selected apostles.

Transportation Infrastructure Gross Receipts Tax
It would be crazy not to vote for this tax. The money from this tax goes directly to road maintenance, public transit, trails and bike paths. And we're talking about 25 cents for every $100 spent. It's been in place since 2000 and is set to expire at the end of this year. And just to set citizens' minds further at ease, this gem of a sentence was added: "No portion of the revenue generated by the transportation infrastructure gross receipts tax shall be used to build or operate any rail transportation system until such a system is approved at a separate election by the voters." Got it? No light-rail. No modern streetcar. No trolley. Well, they won't be funded by this tax, anyway—not unless in some future election you call for them.

Road Rage Fail!
So I was just driving and outta nowhere a car come from my right and cuts the car off infront of me. The car in front of me is this soccer mom minivan so he starts blowing his horn. Them the guy who cut him off stops in the middle of the street blocking everyone, gets outta his car and approaches the van and tries to open the door.
Then the van driver opens the door and steps out. It's this big African guy so all the sudden the cutter froze and them backed up 20 feet. The van driver then starts yelling "so what's up" and the guy just starts yelling "you lucky I don't shoot you since I'm with my kids.
The African guy them approaches him and the guy runs back to his car with all the drivers around him and me booing and yelling "now your kids see thier father is a pu$$y"

Sunday, November 1 - 7:00 pm, Columbus Jewish Community Center
Once In A Lifetime
Directed by Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, Narrative, 2014, 105 minutes, France, French with English subtitles
Based on the true story of Anne Gueguen, a dedicated high school history teacher in a French public school, who changed the lives of her most troubled students through Holocaust education.
Gueguen is determined to give the best education possible to her under-privileged inner-city students. Frustrated, but undaunted, she challenges her multicultural classroom with a unique assignment by entering them in France's annual competition on the theme of "children and adolescent victims of Nazi concentration camps." Hoping to break through her students' apathy, Gueguen uses lessons from the Holocaust to overcome differences and show the devastation caused by ignorance and hatred. The project is initially met with extreme resistance until a face-to-face encounter with a Holocaust survivor changes the class's attitude dramatically. These once rebellious teens soon begin to see one another in a whole new light. Once In A Lifetime demonstrates the enduring impact of the Holocaust in transforming future generations.

Band of Bowlers
This is a story about a bowling league, the I. M. Harris B'nai B'rith Bowling Association. The league was formed almost 85 years ago and is one of the oldest leagues in Columbus, OH. It's a story about the bowlers in this league. A diverse group of men, from a countless number of occupations, 17 to 85 years of age, some of whom have bowled together in this league continuously for more than 55 years. A "band of bowlers," who come together every Sunday morning in a kindred brotherhood for some entertaining, competitive recreational liberation from the regular activities in their lives. This is a glimpse into some of those humorous, irreverent, impassioned, touching and spontaneous moments.
Dessert reception to follow.
Tickets: $5

Above and Beyond
Directed by Roberta Grossman, Documentary, 2014, 87 minutes, USA, English
In 1948, just three years after the liberation of Nazi death camps, a group of Jewish American pilots answered a call for help. In secret and at great personal risk, they smuggled planes out of the U.S., trained behind the Iron Curtain in Czechoslovakia and flew for Israel in its War of Independence. This ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war; they also embarked on personal journeys of discovery and renewed Jewish pride. Above and Beyond is their story. The first major feature-length documentary about the foreign airmen in the '48 War, Above and Beyond brings together new interviews as well as stunning aerial footage to present a fascinating, little-known tale filled with heart, heroism and high-flying chutzpah.
Screening will be followed by discussion with Producer Nancy Spielberg. Dessert reception to follow.

Look At Us Now, Mother
Directed by Gayle Kirschenbaum, Documentary, 2015, 84 minutes, USA, English
LOOK AT US NOW, MOTHER! is an unflinching look at the complex bond between Mildred Kirschenbaum and her daughter, Gayle. After the success of Gayle Kirschenbaum's short My Nose, where she documents her mother's efforts to encourage her daughter to have a nose job, Kirschenbaum sets out to explain the roots of their relationship and how it could be salvaged before "time runs out." What emerges is a uniquely cinematic, courageous and intimate family study with both humor and pathos in the midst of conflicts and affections that bind mother and daughter. Using home movie footage, interviews with family members and recorded therapy sessions, Kirschenenbaum tells the story of two women who want nothing more than to understand each other.
Screening will be followed by discussion with Director Gayle Kirschenbaum.

The Armor of Light
Directed by Abigail Disney, Documentary, 2015, 87 minutes, USA, English
Abigail Disney's directorial debut follows the journey of Evangelical minister, Rob Schenck, who finds the courage to preach about the toll of gun violence in America. Familiar with challenging the status quo (he was raised Jewish but became an evangelical as a teenager), Schenck, an anti-abortion activist and fixture on the political far right, breaks with orthodoxy by questioning whether being pro-gun is consistent with being pro-life. He explores this question at gun show and ministers with stand-your-ground opponents. He eventually teams with Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis, an unarmed teenager murdered in Florida whose case has become a landmark in the fight against stand-your-ground laws. It isn't an overreach when Schenck notes parallels between increasing pro-gun extremism, rising gun violence and the Holocaust. As his father once told him, pointing to pictures of the camps, "This is what happens when good people say nothing."
Tickets: $10/JCC members, seniors; $12/non-members. All tickets are $12 at the door.
Sunday, November 8 – 4:30 pm, Drexel Theater
East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem
Directed by Erez Miller and Henrique Cymerman, Documentary, 2014, 80 minutes, Israel, Arabic, English and Hebrew with English subtitles.
More than a singer/songwriter, David Broza is also well known for his commitment and dedication to several humanitarian causes, predominantly, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 1977, Broza wrote what became the anthem of the peace process, his hit song "It Will Be Good/Yihye Tov". His vision brings him to the heart of the conflict, a divided Jerusalem, where he and his musician friends, including Grammy-winning Steve Earle, Palestinian Israeli singer Mira Awad and Iraqi Israeli Yair Dalal, take a remarkable journey outside of the political walls. East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem follows the artists over an eight-day period where they converge in a mash up of American, Israeli and Palestinian sounds. They build musical bridges with Broza's charismatic and energetic performances and his will to have a political impact by the simple act of bring together artists from opposing sides.
Presented in partnership with the Leventhal Fund of the Columbus Jewish Foundation

Lady in Number 6
Directed by Malcolm Clarke, Documentary, 2013, 38 minutes, Canada/United States
At 109 years old, pianist and music teacher Alice Herz-Sommer lived alone in a tiny flat in central London, dutifully practicing the piano and maintaining and independent routine. Coherent, clear-eyed and witty, her relentlessly positive outlook offered no hint of the painful losses she experienced in Nazi-occupied Prague during WWII. Both her mother and husband were murdered in concentration camps, and Alice herself was interned at Theresienstadt where she performed in concerts with other musician prisoners. Alice spoke with quiet grace and an astounding absence of malice, citing the importance of music and laughter, and her deeply held belief in the essential goodness of humanity.

Little White Lie
Directed by Lacey Schwartz, Documentary, 2014, 65 minutes, USA, English
What defines our identity, our family of origin or the family that raises us? How do we come to terms with the sins and mistakes of our parents? Little White Lie tells Lacey Schwartz's story of growing up in a typical upper-middle class household in Woodstock, NY, with loving parents and a strong sense of her Jewish identity. Despite the questions from those around her about how a white girl could have such dark skin, she believed her family's explanation that her looks were inherited from her dark-skinned Sicilian grandfather. At the age of 18 and after the abrupt split of her parents, Lacey finally decides to put nagging doubts to rest, as she confronts her mother and learns the startling truth about her genesis.
Turning the camera on herself, Lacey documents her cathartic quest to understand the hidden pieces of her life; daring to reconcile her mysterious childhood and biological roots.
Screening will be followed by discussion with director Lacey Schwartz. Dessert reception to follow.

Apples From The Desert
Directed by Arik Lubetsky & Matti Harari, Narrative, 2014, 87 minutes, Israel, Hebrew with English subtitles.
Rebecca Abravanel is an only child, living a cloistered existence with her ultra-Orthodox Jewish family in Jerusalem. Unhappy with the restrictive traditions of home and community, she secretly opens herself to the secular world by attending co-ed dance classes where she forms a relationship with a secular kibbutzim, Dooby. Suspicious and angry in the face of Rebecca's growing acts of rebellion, her father reacts by setting in motion a prearranged marriage to an older widow. Rebecca's mother is appalled, but dare not defy the man of the household. After Rebecca runs away from home, the family conflict culminates in a moment of truth, forcing them to confront their beliefs and one another.
Apples From The Dessert is an adaptation of the award winning Israeli play that poignantly explores the themes of love and reconciliation.

To Life!
Directed by Uwe Janson, Narrative, 2015, 86 minutes, Germany, German with English subtitles
Jonas, a young man on the run, arrives in Berlin just in time to save Ruth's life. Evicted from her apartment, the sarcastic but warm-hearted aging Jewish cabaret singer saw no other way out than suicide. Meanwhile Jonas, driven by a secret, is also fleeing from his love and his future. As Ruth recovers, she and Jonas form a deep bond informed by her own tragic love for a non-Jewish man in post-WWII Germany – a love burdened by the legacy of the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany. As Jonas discovers Ruth's past and takes part in her present, his attentions and the passionate, lusty Yiddish songs of her youth help her find the way back to life. In turn, when Ruth learns Jonas is incurably ill, she helps him find the strength to tackle his fears, and to forcefully propose "L'Chaim – To Life!"

God's Slave
Directed by Joel Novoa, Narrative, 2013, 90 minutes, Argentina/Uraguay/Venezuela, Spanish with English subtitles.
Based on the actual events of a 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires, this tense political thriller follows Ahmed, trained since childhood as an Islamic terrorist now assigned to execute a suicide bomb at a synagogue, and David, the determined, embittered Israeli Mossad agent who will stop at nothing to prevent the attack. But neither man is defined solely by their extremist views. Ahmed, posing as a doctor, lives happily with his wife and young son; though David's marriage is on the rocks, he remains devoted to his wife and daughter. With time running out before the attack, David zeroes in on Ahmed as a suspect, his investigation culminating in violent, if unexpected, consequences. God's Slave explores the lives of two men embarking on parallel paths to martyrdom, blinded by hatred born of childhood trauma, and prepared to sacrifice everything for their beliefs.

Sunday, November 15, 8:00 pm, Jewish Community Center
Directed by John Goldschmidt, Narrative, 2014, 95 minutes, United Kingdom/Hungary, English
An endearing comedy about an unexpected interfaith friendship set in London's East End. Jonathan Pryce stars as Nat, an old Jewish widower who clings to his way of life and his livelihood as a kosher bakery owner. His customers are dying off, his sons have no interest in the family business and a hostile businessman has greedy plans for the property. When his only worker quits, Nat reluctantly hires Ayyash, a teenage refugee from Darfur who faces his own struggles in supporting his family. Ayyash assists with the bakery's daily chores, while selling marijuana on the side to make ends meet. When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves.
Dough is a warmhearted and gently humorous story about overcoming prejudice and finding redemption in unexpected places.
Tickets: $10/JCC members, seniors; $12/non-members. All tickets are $12 at the door.

I recently upgraded my routers and now my server can't detect the PS3. All of the settings are the same, aside from the server being on a Wireless N network.
Here is a breakdown of the configuration:
PSM PC connected to WZR-600DHP router with community DD-WRT Firmware set up as client bridge.
CFW router wirelessly connected to other WZR-600DHP with Stock Buffalo FW which is connected to the modem and acting as DHCP server.
PS3 connected to SFW router via Ethernet
My old setup was the same, except the PS3 was connected to the client bridge router and the server and modem were connected to the DHCP router. Both of these routers were Linksys WRT54g's, the stock one was a GL and the regular 54g on community DD-WRT.
I've gone over all of the settings, reset routers, made sure the firewall isn't blocking any programs, searched the forums, searched google. I set the PS3's MAC address to always have a static IP address, even though the PS3 is configured with that static IP address anyway. I can ping the PS3 from my server.
At this point, I have no idea what else to check, and I can't really go back to the Linksys routers because the throughput wasn't working out for my setup anymore. If anyone has any ideas, I will try just about anything at this point.

Today we rely on information and communication technologies and devices that hadn't even been imagined just 30 years ago. The set of skills we need to participate fully in and benefit from our hyper-connected societies and increasingly knowledge-based economies has changed profoundly too.Read more
The Survey of Adult Skills measures the key cognitive and workplace skills needed for individuals to participate in society and for economies to prosper. Results from this survey will be announced 8 October 2013.Read more
EDUCATION & SKILLS ONLINE is an assessment tool designed to provide individual-level results that are linked to the OECD Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) measures of literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments. All results are comparable to the measures used in PIAAC and can be benchmarked against the national and international results available for the participating countries. In addition, the assessment contains non-cognitive measures of skill use, career interest, health and well-being, and behavioral competencies.Read more
Skills Matter - Further Results from the Survey of Adult Skills
This volume reports results from the 24 countries and regions that participated in the first round of the survey in 2011-12 (first published in OECD Skills Outlook 2013: First Results from the Survey of Adult Skills) and from the nine additional countries that participated in the second round in 2014-15 (Chile, Greece, Indonesia [Jakarta], Israel, Lithuania, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovenia and Turkey). It describes adults' proficiency in the three information-processing skills assessed, and examines how skills proficiency is related to labour market and social outcomes.
OECD Skills Outlook 2015 - Youth, Skills and Employability
Young people around the world are struggling to enter the labour market. In some OECD countries, one in four 16-29 year-olds is neither employed nor in education or training. The OECD Skills Outlook 2015 shows how improving the employability of youth requires a comprehensive approach. While education , social, and labour market policies have key roles to play, co-ordination between public policies and the private sector is also crucial. The publication, which builds on the results of the 2012 Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) presented in the first edition of the Skills Outlook, also presents examples of successful policies in selected countries.

I just bought and installed HAWX for PC and everytime I go to open it I get this error.
"Saved dump file to 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X\HAWX.exe.dmp'"
Any ideas how to fix this? I downloaded the 1.2 patch but I still get the error. Thanks!
Dude, Im having the EXACT same problem you are... Don't feel bad... many people are having this issue... SOMEONE F'ING HELP US SO WE CAN PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you have a Saved Games folder within your Users folder. The default path to the Saved Games folder should be C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games. If it is missing or if you have moved it, this could cause this error to appear. If the Saved Games folder is missing you may need to create a new one or restore it to the default location.Originally posted by MattConst:

If that doesn't help, make sure you have the latest driver updates installed for your video and sound card.
Yea, that other fix you just listed above does not change the issue one bit. As you can see many people are having the same issue. Its obviously a major problem and people shouldnt have to go through a million ******ed hoops to get there game working. How about another patch????
Dont feel bad bro, I having the same issue and getting 0 fixes for it, and it takes 2 weeks for anyone to get back to you with a fix that doesnt fix ****... America, land of the free and opportunity for all, even if you dont meet the cualifications, you can still get the job and jerk people around. Perfect example on all forums across the world.
The problem with games for PC is that of trying to make sure the hardware is capable of running the particular version of the game. It's almost as if you have to buy a new PC at the time a game is released in order to ensure you have a machine capable of running the software.
I tried running HAWx PC on a P4 system with 3 GB RAM and XP SP3, but it kept crashing and creating the dump file
I run it on a q6600 quad core running Vista Home with 6 GB RAM and nVidia GT 9700 and it runs just fine.
I get online with no antivirus and firewall running and the thing has more lag than my PS3. Turn down the graphic settings and it does better.
I find it unfortunate that older software won't run on newer systems and newer games won't run well on older systems (I have older flight sims that will only run on w95), so I've saved older systems just for game play.
I suspect that for those with XP SP3 problems you may have to get a Vista machine and heaven forbid, Windows 7 will just screw it all up again.
I think for games, dedicated consoles like the XBox 360 and PS3 are just plain better for games as I've always found limitations in matching hardware to software on the PC side of things -- I leave my computer cases open so I can plug in different components to make things work.
I also have this problem and have tried making the saved games folder. This doesnt fix it however.
Even if the probability of helping you fix your problem is low, you should definitively give us more details. Can you tell us exactly when it crashes? (After or before which screen?) Can you give us your system specifications?
i have the same problem too....
Saved dump file to 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X\HAWX.exe.dmp
HELP on how to fix... THANKS in ADVANCE
I've got the same problem. Unfortunately it occurs during gameplay.

Amanda Bylsma
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that one of our long-time volunteers, Amanda Bylsma, has passed away. She always brightened every room she was in, and her high energy will be missed.
Some of you may have been aware that Amanda was our pitch appointments coordinator. A previous pitch coordinator, Bonnie Hagan, has stepped up to help ease the loss by ensuring that pitch appointments will continue as planned.

PPWC 2013 Delivers Big
The 21st Pikes Peak Writers Conference was a hugely successful weekend of amazing workshops, motivational speeches, and informative presentations. Our inspiring keynote speakers included: Amber Benson, an actor/director/writer who reminded us all how lucky we are to be writers in this point in history; Libba Bray, who gave one of the funniest, and at the same time most poignant, keynote speeches I'd ever heard; David Liss, a hilarious speaker and insightful teacher whose listeners mobbed the bookstore; and Barry Eisler, whose casual discussion of traditional versus digital publishing has touched off an internet firestorm. It was not remotely a dull weekend. On Friday at lunch, Barbara Nickless spoke movingly about all she gained when the Waldo Canyon Fire consumed her home. Barbara's speech not only set the tone for the entire conference, she embodied the theme of "Writing from the Ashes… Never Lose Sight of Your Dreams." Attendees were offered a dizzying array of over 70 workshops to choose from as well as 15 Read & Critique sessions, 9 informal un-workshops, and countless discussions over meals, at the mixers, or in the bar. Many attendees heard the words "send it" from an editor or agent, and they left in high spirits. Others seriously pondered the worlds of digital and independent publishing and considered a path to publication they'd previously ignored. Brian Schwartz, president of the Colorado Independent Publishers Association, taught an extended session on the topic of independent publishing in his "Pixels to Profit" sessions. Editors Michael Braff, Christopher Hernandez, Pat Van Wie, and Deb Werksman busted through the myths about book publishing in our "Mythbusting Editors" panel. Literary Agents Hannah Bowman, Sorche Fairbank, Barry Goldblatt, Shannon Hassan, Nicole Resciniti, Kate Testerman, and Pamela Van Hylckama Vlieg did the same in our "Mythbusting Agents" panel. Both editors and agents also presented informative workshops, read attendees' first pages, and took pitches. The conference bookstore enjoyed huge success in a new location, the Marriott's glass-walled conference room. The faculty booksigning on Saturday was one of our most successful ever. Featured speaker David Liss was so popular in his Thursday and Friday sessions that we'd nearly sold out his entire stock of books before the booksigning on Saturday. (Sorry, David!) On Saturday Night we honored our volunteers. Shannon Lawrence received the Pikes Peak Writers Volunteer of the Year award, while the PPW Conference Volunteer of the Year award went to two people, Jennifer LaPointe and MB Partlow. All three of these women have been extraordinary in their tireless work for Pikes Peak Writers over the past year. Thank you to these award winners and all our dedicated volunteers. Then came the big announcement. Many of you know that the PPW Fiction Writing Contest had been retired last year. We presented a retrospective on Saturday Night highlighting the tremendous success that has arisen out of the contest over the last twenty years. Afterward, we announced that the contest is returning with a new, revamped format. Be looking for more information here on our website this summer. By the time attendees left on Sunday there was not only tremendous emotion – and exhaustion – but also the sense that everyone had been a part of something special. We carried with us the knowledge that we are writers. And we are the luckiest people in the world.
Pikes Peak Writers Conference
By Bonnie Hagan, Director PPWC 2013
Community. In a word, that's what any good writer's organization creates. Pikes Peak Writers excels at bringing people together from across the world, and nowhere is that more obvious than at the annual Pikes Peak Writers Conference. A solid corps of dedicated people devote countless hours creating this weekend of cutting edge information, amazing opportunities, essential feedback, and writing wisdom. We're a community. And as we were reminded last year, community doesn't burn. Times are hard, tensions around the world are high, and many dreams die a slow, thirsty death. That's why Pikes Peak Writers Conference is more important now than ever. We remain dedicated to excellence. We bring our agents and editors from afar. We seek out published authors with sterling reputations to speak to us. We find the professionals who are in the know to help us make sense of an ever-changing industry. We create an environment of mutual support that sends our attendees home riding the emotional high of their lives. And we do it all at a competitively low price. When you attend the 2013 Pikes Peak Writers Conference, you will see new faces like Lisa Renee Jones, Bob Liparulo, Lynda Hilburn, Twist Phelan, and Laura Resau. Established Colorado authors, all of them. And all of them new to our conference. We also bring best-selling authors like Libba Bray, Barry Eisler, David Liss, and Amber Benson from across the country to bring their delightful and distinctive voices to our mealtimes and workshops. Not all of the presenters are new, of course, and the familiar faces of longtime PPW folks are part of the magic of our conference. The only thing missing is you. Has your dream of writing grown a bit dusty from neglect or has your writing career gotten mired in the mud? What demons prevent you from the success you imagine? When you attend Pikes Peak Writers Conference, you'll not only find the knowledge to write from the ashes and realize your dreams, you'll find a group of people who will supply you with writing tools, support your goals, and surprise you with their genuine warmth. In short, you find community.
January 2013 Board of Director Changes
Note from Mandy Houk:
Last September, I was honored to take on the role of Pikes Peak Writers' president. I have benefitted personally and professionally from my membership and volunteerism with this organization for the past six years, so I was excited for the opportunity to give back in a more meaningful way. In December, I wrote a piece for the Pikes Peak Writers blog, comparing the impending new year to the turn of a page. Even as I wrote that piece, I was in the midst of discovering that what was on my own family's "next page" was going to change our lives in significant ways. I'm sad to say that the changes on this metaphorical page make it impossible for me to continue as the president of Pikes Peak Writers. The details are personal, but suffice it to say that our extended family members are facing struggles that necessitate immediate, active, and prolonged engagement from me. I simply cannot fulfill the roles I'm needed for in my family and continue in leadership with Pikes Peak Writers. In keeping with our bylaws, vice president Laura Hayden has accepted the role of president in my place. To fill the vacant seat of vice president, the board has unanimously elected J.T. Evans, and he has graciously accepted. All other board members will remain in their current roles, and are prepared to fully support Laura and J.T .during this time of transition and beyond it. I trust that you are familiar with Laura, Queen of the Universe and integral part of this wonderful organization since its inception. As for J.T., he became a member of Pikes Peak Writers in 2008, and since that time has been a faithful conference attendee and volunteer. Most recently, he has worked with the board and with our administrator, Michelle Baker, to update our website and train key volunteers to keep it current. In addition, for the past four years J.T. served as president of Colorado Springs Fiction Writers Group. Pikes Peak Writers is privileged to have this wonderful writer and dedicated, experienced volunteer join our board of directors. I am indescribably grateful to each member of the board – including its newest member, J.T. – for the compassion and understanding that was shown to me over the past few weeks. While I regret the suddenness of my departure, I am more than confident that Pikes Peak Writers is in the very best sets of hands. God bless you all, and Happy Writing.
Note from Laura Hayden, Current PPW President:
It's with great regret that we accept Mandy's resignation. Despite her shortened tenure, she brought an incredible amount of energy and wisdom into the organization. We wish her well and hope that one day, when life calms, she can return to board service. Also, the board and I welcome J.T. Evans as our new Vice President. He comes to the position with a wide variety of experiences, skills and talents and we look forward to working with him.
Note from J.T. Evans, Current PPW Vice-President:
Greetings Fellow Writers, Back at the 2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference, I had my first volunteer duty. The silent auction was being held, and I was lounging around the hallway watching people meander by. All of the items that captured my interest were already out of my price range, so I had nothing better to do than stand there. That's when Chris Mandeville called out, "Hey, J.T.! You look bored." I'd say I was a little bored since I knew very few of the people there and didn't have anyone to talk to. I looked her way and nodded. She asked, "Would you mind being a guard for these two tables of auction items? We have a few people from the public moving around, and I'd hate for something to wander off." I agreed, and that small act began my road as a volunteer with Pikes Peak Writers. Over the past three years, I've worked as a moderator, presented a Write Brain, judged in the 2012 conference contest, stepped into the role as webmaster, and pitched in here and there where I could. Then Mandy Houk reached out to me with the information that she was in a tight spot and had to step down as president of PPW. She asked me if I would be interested in joining the board as vice president to support Laura Hayden. My first response was surprise since I knew Mandy had just been elected, then once I read the email closer, I moved to understanding. Then it sank in. She and the rest of the board of PPW wanted me to help them as best I could. Wow. I'm incredibly honored that people I hold with such high regard asked me to step into the role as vice president of the Pikes Peak Writers. I will do my best to continue the grand traditions, ideas, efforts, and contributions to the writing community that Pikes Peak Writers has been steadfastly providing over many years. Thank you very much for your trust and friendship. Now, Let's make 2013 as creative and wonderful as possible!
2012-13 Leadership Changes
Every year at the end of summer, PPW holds elections for positions on the Board of Directors. This momentous event has probably slid by many of you unnoticed in past years, as we try to make the transition as seamless as possible. This year will hopefully be no different in that you should not notice any interruption to the great events, benefits and services you are accustomed to receiving. However I wanted to take a minute to let you know who will be serving on the PPW Board of Directors for the coming year. Returning to the Board this year are Laura Hayden as vice president, Connie McKenzie as treasurer, and members Bonnie Hagan, Susan Mitchell, Todd Fahnestock, Chris Boswell and Mandy Houk. We welcome new Board member Laura Reeve who has been elected to serve a two-year term as secretary. We're thrilled to announce that the secretary position became available because incumbent secretary Mandy Houk has agreed to serve a two-year term as PPW's president! As for me, after 10+ years serving on the PPW Board of Directors, I'm pleased and honored to be moving into the role of "ex-officio" member of the Board. Joining me will be former PPW Executive Director Jodi Anderson. Together we will serve as advisors and mentors to your seated Board. It has been an incredible privilege and pleasure serving as PPW president, and I have truly enjoyed my tenure. I leave this role knowing you are in very good hands with your new president and Board. Please join me in welcoming our new secretary and president, and in thanking all the Board members for their volunteer service as the leadership of this incredible organization. Chris Mandeville
Jodi Anderson Retires
On behalf of the Pikes Peak Writers' Board of Directors, members and staff, we take this opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation for the contribution of Jodi Anderson. PPW is deeply grateful for her talent, skills and dedication as she concludes her tenure as Executive Director. It is through the dedication of people like Jodi Anderson that we are able to continue to strengthen our programs, and to develop new and innovative projects to serve our members and the writing community. As we turn a new page in PPW's success story, we would like to thank Jodi Anderson for making our mission a reality, and are excited that she will continue to support PPW as a visionary and volunteer.

If you study the performance curves below you will see two major benefits of GearSplitting. As
an example we'll use the TH400 or 4L80E trans chart with a Vortec 7.4 (454). Gears are multipliers
of torque so at 3,000 rpm in 2nd-over the torque multiplier is 4.73 where without the GEAR
VENDORS you would get into 2500rpm in 3rd-direct at 4.10. The difference in engine torque is
only 10lbs ft. but the difference in the multiplier 4.73 vs 4.10. That's over 18% more working
At this same moment horsepower at 3,000rpm is 260 instead of 210 @ 2500 which
is over 23% more horsepower with all the reliability of your stock powerplant. To figure the drop
in rpm or torque multiplier from on gear to the next calculate as follows: Final Drive Ratio of
the gear you are shifting to, divided by the gear you are shifting from, minus 1, times 100. The
difference from 1st-over to 2nd is even more dramatic. This is why if you are towing or loaded
heavily, the best way to reliably improve performance is with the GEAR VENDORS UNDER/OVERDRIVE.
It's the same reason the big 18 wheelers have 2 and 3 speed auxiliaries for 10 to 15 or more gears.

Worldwide need for blood highlighted

X-post from sleep training board but not getting much help there....
I am having a hard time keeping track of wake times for my 5.5 month old. I know it should be 2 - 2.5 hours but she sometimes falls asleep while nursing and I'm not sure how that figures in.
For example- Today she woke from her first nap at 9 am. She wasn't read to eat until 10. She nursed from 10 - 10:30 and I think she may fallen asleep for a few minutes. (She never stops sucking though so I can't be sure if she is asleep or awake.) I tried to put her down for a nap at 11 but she wasn't having it. So I tried again at 12. By then she was fussy but I couldn't tell if she was overtired or not tired enough.
This happens multiple times a day and I feel like I am losing total control of our schedule. It's making me want to quit nursing so that I can get her on a better sleep schedule during the day. Any advice???

A very short, not terribly profound, but kind of sweet sci-fi story about the ultimate hackers.
Although short, I liked the story. it involves technology and the monstrosity that exists between us. this is very interesting, and shows something else: that human beings may be far away, but the media make it can communicate with the world and interact with it.

They were expected to be in Barcelona. They hope to finish their trip in Madrid. But first, the Americans had to take care of Bilbao.
The U.S. team wrapped up the No. 1 seed in its group Wednesday, improving to 4-0 at the Basketball World Cup with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic in Bilbao, Spain.
Kenneth Faried scored 16 points for the U.S. DeMarcus Cousins came off the bench and added 13 on 5-of-5 shooting.
Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored eight points. Curry had a game-high seven assists.
The Americans will finish Group C play in Bilbao on Thursday against Ukraine before playing their round of 16 game Saturday night in Barcelona against the fourth-place team from Group D, which is still to be determined.
A few wins there, and they would play for gold in Madrid, but nobody was looking past step one.
"Nothing's given," forward Rudy Gay said. "We've worked hard, we've been tested and we've overcome that, and got some pretty big wins."
The Dominicans played without Houston Rockets forward Francisco Garcia, who appeared to turn an ankle late in a victory over Finland on Tuesday.
Starting his second World Cup cycle as U.S. coach, Jurgen Klinsmann set a bold goal for the Americans: reach the final four of the 2018 tournament in Russia.
The U.S. opened four years of preparation by beating the Czech Republic for the first time in four meetings, using a youthful roster to win 1-0 in an exhibition on Alejandro Bedoya's goal in Prague.
"Our goal is going to a semifinal in a World Cup," Klinsmann told NBC Sports. "And that means a lot of work, a lot of competition, a lot of grind."
UCLA running back Steven Manfro will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. The junior was part of the No. 11 Bruins' three-man rotation at the position.

The official answer is, get an Access Point and connect it to the Router.
The Access Point would serve as a Wireless source allow Wireless computers
to connect to the Router.
Access Points can be found on line or in computer store, their price range
from $60 to $100.
It is hard to find an Access Point on a good sale their prices tend to be
higher than Wireless Routers.
Unofficially, regular Wireless Cable/DSL Routers can be configured as an
Access Point, you will need to configure them for this purpose, but you can
save on the price.
Example, CompUSA has the Wireless Router on sale this week for $4.99 after
It has to be configured this way, Wireless Router as an AP -
If you can deal wit the configuration, your problem solved for $4.99.

How to Etch a Glass Vase with Chevron Stripes
Something is in the air this summer. It seems everyone we know is getting married. So with all the weddings and showers, I've been trying to come up with a few unique gift ideas.
Have you ever etched glass at home, with etching cream? A few years ago I made an etched "Enjoy" trifle bowl, and this time I thought I could try something fun with a flower vase. It's a great DIY that will turn a generic glass vases into something that ends up looking elegant and chic.
I decided to see if I could make chevron stripes on my round glass vase. My OCD had me a little nervous about getting everything lined up just right. But you know what? I basically eyeballed most of it, and it turn out just as I hoped!
Here's what you will need to Etch a glass vase with Chevron
- Glass vase, washed and dried. I picked this one up at Home Goods.
- ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape
- Armour Etch etching cream
- sponge brush
- scissors
- rubber or latex glove (not shown)
Pin It
I really did a lot of eyeballing with this project, and it all worked out. Here's what I did.
- starting at the bottom of the vase I cut 6 pieces of ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape about 4.5″-5″ long and made 3 upside down very wide "V"
- be sure to cut the tape with scissors so you have a clean end to work with.
- work your way up the vase, again trying to eyeball as you go (just be patient, this part took the longest, trying to line everything up)
- Using the sponge brush, coat the exposed glass with a thin to medium layer of etching cream ( large areas can be tricky) be sure to wear a glove on the hand that you are handling the vase with, you don't want to get the etching cream on your skin.
- Leave the etching cream to sit on the glass for at least ten minutes.
- With a gloved hand, carry the vase to a sink, to rinse to remove etching cream (do NOT do this in a ceramic sink)
- remove tape and dry to reveal your beautifully etched chevron striped vase!
This glass vase is a great DIY gift idea not only for weddings and showers, but Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, birthdays…or just because!

The man trying to open a gentleman's club in Grand Junction says he'll sue if the conditional use permit is denied again, this after the city's Planning Commission has blocked the permit twice.
Rob Rowlands represents Kevin Eardley, the man who hopes to open up a strip club in Grand Junction on Colex Drive, a more industrial part of town.
Rowlands "it's an allowed usage; it's clearly in the city's code."
Rowlands says that Eardley is already approved for the bar and he could go forward with the full nudity and serve no alcohol, if the Planning Commission denies the conditional use permit again. Another option Eardley is considering is suing the City of Grand Junction. Mayor Gregg Palmer says that's Eardley's constitutional right; "if he wants to sue us, that's his right and I suppose he can get in line."
The City Council will hear Eardley's appeal on January 21st. The council has three options; to agree with the planning commission's decision of denying the conditional use permit, or t can disagree and send it back with, or without direction for the commission. Palmer says the council's responsibility is clear, "determine whether or not the applicant got a fair hearing and whether the commission followed the laws and the codes."
Rowlands says they didn't. He says, "the Planning Commission is taking it personally."
Now it's up to the City Council again, to look at what the Planning Commission did and how it reached that decision.

When should a defender use a poke check instead of a body check?ANSWER Poke checking is legal in mens lacrosse and is very useful for keeping separation among other things. By poking you harass the ball carrier and keep distance. Kind of like a jab in boxing it helps you keep control.keeping your body between the attacker and the goal. A well placed poke can also knock the ball lose if done right.In womans Lacrosse stick checking is allowed only to the opponents stick. You cannot poke her away like you can in mens lacrosse. But you can check her stick by hitting it with your stick and dislodging the ball. This is known as a stick check. Body checks happen more often when the ball carrier is attacking you harder and trying to dodge past you. In mens lacrosse you drive your body in a manner that forces the opponent in the direction you want him to go. This is high contact checking. Where you can use a a body check to ride the attacker away from the goal or good shot angle they are trying to achieve. In womans Lacrosse a body check can have no contact. You basically are positioning yourself between the attacker and the goal and trying to redirect her in the direction you want by positioning yourself in the way.These checks are all very valuable and useful tools depending on the situation.

A Google visual arts venture is shedding new light on some of the Jewish Museum's most cherished exhibits.
The Camden museum is one of just 12 UK collections to feature in the Google Art Project, an online gallery of 30,000 artworks from 151 international partners. Some of the works have been photographed in super high resolution, enabling viewers to study them in intricate detail. Users can also build up a personal "gallery" of favourites.
Jewish Museum director Rickie Burman said that 150 pieces from its collections were being shown, ranging from Chanucah lamps to wedding rings and historical curiosities such as the London Jewish Bakers' Union banner.
"The museum's inclusion reflects the beauty and significance of our collections, which have been awarded designated status in recognition of their outstanding international and national importance".
Other project partners include the Israel Museum, the Jewish Museum in New York, the National Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain and the V&A.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 89 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tereasa Perfect Fit Exactly what we needed and a perfect fit like the old ones. September 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Cartmom Okay These shin guard sleeves are fine but the elastic at the top is very thin and too tight around the top of the calf. The sizing otherwise was fine. My daughter had other guard sleeves that had more like a band at the top so the fit was more comfortable. September 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by soccer mom Works great but overpriced compared to other sporting goods store prices.. My son lost his guard sleeves and had a game, unfortunately due to time constraints I had to stop at closest store which was Dick's and buy the sleeves. Paid over $10 and I know I've bought Nike sleeves under that amount in the past. However they do the job, just would have preferred not to overpay. September 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nikki Shin sleeve The girls enjoy the ease and comfort of putting on their shin guards. However there were not enough in the store for all 3 girls. We had to purchase a different brand. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by SwimmerSak Always wear these! I refuse to play without these. Still need tap for the top of the socks but these stop your guards from moving around and eliminate any discomfort. I will say sizing is a little confusing but 6'2" went with mediums and they are fine. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ryno12814 Nike shinguard sleeves, great fit! My son was in need of shinguard sleeves and stopped and picked up a pair at our Albuquerque location Dicks. He chose this Nike brand as his shinguards are currently Nike to match and was a real good fit. His shinguards did not slide or fall out during the game and he played goalie. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bri Great product I've owned these before and loved them for a year or two, but they eventually got ripped (I used them almost every day), so I had to replace them. I went for the same kind and they've worked out so far! Great product and work extremely well to keep the shin guards up. I used the free shipping option during a sale and got them within the time that they were supposed to get to me! Very pleased overall. September 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dawn Shin guard sleeves Keeps my sons shin guards from rubbing, prevents sores. He will only wear his shin guards with these sleeves September 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Nick65 Happy My daughter was breaking out from her shin guards and these did just the thing to protect her legs. perfect fit and are strong material. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Oviedoironman Happy with fit and performance Bought these for my 13 yr old son. He is happy with the way the fit and how much easier they are to use than his old shin guards. July 30, 2014

Older runners meet here.
I'm back now after my Daughter's wedding, and just about recovered from drinking more than usual and eating fry ups for breakfast. The wedding went very well and my daughter looked really beautiful in her wedding dress. I had prepared a wedding speech, but when we sat down for the Reception Meal, it somehow got overlooked.
I haven't run since Tuesday, so looking forward to tomorrows forest run. It will be interesting to see if the "rest" results in improved pace. I will probably race my 5th RR10 on Wednesday at Marwell Zoo, and a week tomorrow is the New Forest 10 mile race. This was cancelled last year due to the course being flooded, but should be hot and sunny this year.
Red, well done on your award! There are certainly things more important than running and racing.
It must be the hottest day of the year today and ran 6.19 miles in the forest this morning. This will be good conditioning for next Sundays NF 10 mile race, which will be as hot, or hotter.
I'm watching the tennis which is at an amazing standard, especially in 40 degrees heat. Murray is nearly there, but can his nerve hold? Mine can't, that is why I'm writing this instead of sitting in front of the TV with the tension building. It's 5-4 now in the 3rd set to Murray, so fingers crossed, on Murrays serve, he will be there.
JJ, Glastonbury seems to stretch. We arrived around lunchtime Tuesday, and left late morning the following Monday. Main stages have music on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, but there's so much else to see.
Many congratulations on your award Red - well deserved.
Couldn't watch all the tennis either - had to dip in and out.
Still not running, but may try a short one a bit later if it gets cooler. Still rather a lot of gunk, though Red wouldn't let that stop her.
Oh wow, what a gladiatorial match! I couldn't watch either except with one eye peeping through fingers. How could they play like that in such heat? The euphoria will carry me through to the end of next week I think. Absolutely brilliant.
Congratulations to the Fundraiser of the Year! Red, it could not have gone to anyone more deserving.
TE - Oh, weren't you on tenterhooks, thinking they were going to call on you for that speech any minute? I am glad the wedding matched all expectations and you must have been very proud of your daughter.
Daughter H did well in her sprint triathlon this morning and we had beautiful weather to cheer her on. I spent quite a lot of the time charging round a field with the hound to wear him out. He follows me everywhere and barks at me every time I sit down. He wants to play, train, run all day and all evening.
Matsmum, my daughter had told me she didn't want any speeches, but I had prepared one, just in case. As it turned out, no one mentioned it, so I didn't have to speak. I was very proud of her, and she looked really beautiful in her lovely dress. Your family seems to be very sporty and you must be very proud of them.
Well deserved award, Redhead. You have certainly earned it.
Diana - I'm envious, you obviously had a great time
Well done to daughter H, Matsmum.
That tennis had me exhausted, what a wonderful final. There were some really incredible shots played from both players, but I really started to worry in that last game, Andy slipped a bit from having 3 Championship points but all was well in the end. I thought Djokovich made a very good speech as losing finalist, and Ivan Lendl actually did crack a tiny bit of a smile! Well done Andy!
Murray did well today. He actually fought for the Wimbledon title which is something that has been slightly missing from similar recent contestants.Lets hope we can find someone who can win the London marathon. Not holding my breath though!JJ
JJ a Brit winning the London Marathon? I was going to say "don't make me laugh," but then I thought of Mo Farah. I do believe he is in with a chance in due course.
Another lovely bright morning, with forecast of 29 degrees. Will be off for a forest run later.
Yes I'd agree there, and he has announced his intention to eventually try one. He has all the necessary attributes for success.
Another hot day here.
Afternoon all,
Thanks for your kind words. Been out really early each day as it's been unbearably hot. Much respect to the tennis players. I thought the semi with Djokovic and Del Potro was outstanding and Murray played his socks off and deserved to win. At least he had the good grace to refer to himself as British this time.
Runs? 5.68 xc, 5.77 with hill reps, 7.31 xc and 5.79 xc today. Today was day 78 so only 33 more to go. Total streaky mileage now at 485.94 and my year to date total is 933.44
Still not sure about Farah's marathon potential but at least he starts with a pace pedigree which is more important that starting with an endurance inclination.He would need to run about 9 x 5k in about 14 minutes each to be up with the best. That's a tall order when most of his 5k races are not much under 14 minutes.RedheadImpressive running stats there. A few ago I did 1800 miles in one year so you are on target to beat that.
I ran 6 miles in the forest this morning over a hilly course and pushed hard. I deliberately took no water, as I wanted to "toughen up" for Sunday. I will, of course, take drinks at the 3 drink stations during the race. My average HR was 121 and max.140.
Red, your streak is going very well, especially considering that you haven't given in to your breathing problems. My total mileage is 986, but I'm sure yours would have been ahead of mine if you hadn't been sticking to a daily target.
TE, sorry, I forgot to say I'm glad your daughter's wedding went well.
I'm definitely missing longer runs and will probably start reintroducing them in the next week or so.
Red, thanks for that. It was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Another bright and sunny morning, with forecast of 29 degrees. We have hill reps in the forest this evening, when it may be a bit cooler.
I'm getting fed up with the captcha codes. It took me 5 goes to get in. I've got my bookmark events back, but they aren't in chronological order. They seem to be in the order that I added them. I've posted several times on the web problems threads and everyone seems to be having the same problems.
Morning all,
Well I haven't got my bookmarks and it takes ages to get onto the site!
I did 5.6 miles mostly xc this morning and became entangled in brambles whilst climbing over and overgrown stile. My legs looked as if I'd been attacked by razor blades and there was blood all over my legs. Ouch Savlon made them feel better
TE, hope your run is cooler this evening as it was very hot here yesterday evening.
Lovely day with granddaughter. I have never come across a 9 month old child who is so much fun.TEWhat is your maximum heart rate and resting HR?JJ
Other problems I've come across on here - our Pirate symbol has disappeared. Sometimes I find myself on the first page of a thread instead of the last. No bookmarks, as you all said. And on our Tri forum there's a long-running thread where we all post our training points (1 for every 400m swum, 1 for every 3 miles cycled, 1 for every mile run). Copying and pasting the last post to add your points is a nightmare, when you add something and then paste it, all the spaces and line returns disappear! It's a pain having to add them all back in each time.
Red, thanks. It was still quite hot for last nights club session, but the midges didn't bother us too much. We did 3 sets of 5 minutes continuous running over the "big dipper" circuit, with 5 minutes recovery between each over a different circuit. We were in two groups, so whilst one did the speed circuit, the other did the recovery one.
JJ my heart rates haven't been arrived out "scientifically" but my early morning rate is usually 52 and the highest I have reached in the last few months was 166. This was measured after the last hill rep run on grass. I don't think this was very accurate as it was taken on my old HRM which wasn't very reliable. If I use the following formula, which is more accurate than the 220 - age, i.e 214- (0.8x age), this produces 214-54 =160. This is probably fairly realistic, but I will try to establish an up to date reading on my new Garmin 210 which I believe to be more reliable.
Another hot one! Treddy for me with an attempt at a bit of speedwork which was really hard going. Struggled throughout my 6 miles and sweated like a good 'un
