Overall Experience:
The people are very nice and helpful.
Campus Housing:
The housing campus looks kind of good. My friends that are residents do not complain about it but the exterior of the campus and a little more interior could have a little more work.
I did not attend yet to any of the sports related activities at my school yet but I see a lot of school enthusiasm from students and a lot of athletes are in the classrooms.
Overall Experience:
My overall experience was a great learning experience and a place where I became an independent individual.
Overall Experience:
It's a small school with very little student spirit. The intimate setting, professors and location make it a great fit for those looking to work and go to school.
Overall Experience:
I think this school offers a lot for the students. The students at Marymount are friendly, and striving for the best in their field.
Health & Safety:
The guard house is occupied 24/7 and is easy to get in touch with. Security officers take turns walking around campus every once in a while to make sure nothing suspicious is going on.
Overall Experience:
You are required to have experience in an internship in order to graduate. There is a website called jobs4saints that has a bunch of local listings of internships, full time, and part time jobs which is really easy to navigate and filter to fit your needs
Overall Experience:
The classes are small. There are never usually more than 15 people in a class. There is a lot of one on one time available with your professors. There are interesting courses to take. Some of the courses here have been made up by the teachers so you won't find them on any other campus.
Campus Housing:
The rooms are small and the bathrooms aren't always clean but all of the buildings are close together
Overall Experience:
It's a very good school with a lot of helpful staff. The students here either love it or hate it. There is no in between
As a triathlete, I do not feel the university has invested adequately in the program.
Overall Experience:
As a sophomore, the school has met all of my expectations to date.
Party Scene:
There is usually at least one or two parties happening on campus on the weekends or off campus at a house. There is a popular bar/club scene in Clarendon which is just about 10 minutes from campus. They are easy to get to but they usually end up being mostly students so it's not the best place to meet new people. DC has a great nightlife when it comes to clubs, bars, and different nightlife hangout spots but if you don't have a DD it can sometimes be inconvenient to travel all the way into the city at nighttime. The parties around campus are always walking distance.
Party Scene:
Parties are pretty lame at our school. It is usually the same crowd of people and they usually always get busted. The best parties take place on a day that people don't expect it because they're more spontaneous and don't get busted. There are always negative student interactions at parties and personally, I think that nightlife in the city is much more appealing.
The academics at Marymount are challenging but manageable. The professors are passionate, engaging, and resourceful. The curriculum is well suited for each major but could be varied even more. The registration process is very easy and manageable. The academic advisors are not the best at helping with this process though. It is very common to have an advisor that knows nothing about your major and so it is up to you to make sure you are taking the required courses since the advisor often doesn't know how to help with it. The workload is challenging but it is just enough to feel as though you are getting the most out of your time and money. There are a lot of options for study areas including private study rooms, common areas, dining cafes, and the library. The computer labs are excellent and the study rooms in Rowley have monitors, HDMI cords, and lockable doors.
Marymount has been voted the most diverse school in the South. We have an extremely diverse student population coming from all different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, and parts of the world. On campus, students are very accepting of these differences and regularly participate in international student activities such as International Club meetings, International Banquet, etc. There are always class discussions that encourage the topic of diversity and how we all differences in our cultures and beliefs. There is not as big of a variety of economic background, probably because our school is pretty expensive. However, it's not too hard to find other students that are different from this background because Marymount does offer a good amount of financial aid to students.
Drug Safety:
I personally don't know much about the drug scene at my school. I hear that some students do drugs but the only thing I have witnessed is marijuana. Alcohol use is common on campus since we are a wet campus and there is usually always parties happening on the weekends. Underage students are definitely more pressured to drink than upperclassmen. RAs do a good job at enforcing the policies about underage drinking and alcohol amounts in each room, but it is not impossible to get away with things.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on campus. We have a 24/7 Campus Safety team that is always checking the grounds and ensuring proper doors are locked, secured, etc. We also have a 24/7 campus safety phone line to be used whenever we feel unsafe in any way. Even if you just don't want to walk to your dorm by yourself at night, you can call the 24 hour phone line and one of the security guards will escort you to where you need to go. Arlington County police has a very fast response time as well for any serious sort of emergency. We have had many emergency drills that have helped students feel prepared for what to expect during an emergency.
Overall Experience:
I have had a pretty great experience overall with courses and professors. The majority of my professors have been so passionate about what it is they're teaching and they strive to make the material exciting and engaging for students. Many of my classes have been discussion-centered to foster more interaction between students and between students and the professor. I wish that there was a larger variety of classes offered, sometimes it seems as though they stick with the expected classes for each subject rather than branching into some more unique class offerings. The class sizes, however, are great. Small class sizes of about 15-25 students really create a more valuable education. I have gotten so much more out of my education by being in a smaller class setting, able to have one-on-one time with the professor. They get to know each student by name and learn their story - something that is impossible to do in a large university. I have had a few experiences with unprofessional teachers, but overall the experience has been positive.
Overall Experience:
Marymount does a fantastic job of opening up so many doors for students in the search for a career. An internship is required for every student before graduation. The Center for Career Services and the faculty advisors research each internship students choose to make sure it will be a valued, quality experience for the student. They make sure that the internship is tailored to the students' specific career goals or interests. The CCS has an extensive amount of free resources such as resume and interview workshops, job/internship search help, and career advice. The employers recruiting on campus are varied by different majors, industries, and styles and there is at least one a week. The alumni network is extremely strong here too. There are countless ways to connect with alumni and network through their business opportunities. I have great confidence that I am going to secure a job after graduation because all of the work that the CCS as well as the faculty does to ensure that each student is using their education to its full potential.
Campus Housing:
I personally have lived on campus for three years and plan to live on campus for my fourth as well. Factoring in the free laundry and cleaning services, common areas, access to study rooms and computer labs, and meal plan options, campus housing is a great deal. Ostapenko is a great option for those wanting an apartment feel without having to leave campus. Berg is probably the worst, but it is in a great location on campus. The housing process is a little stressful, but if you plan ahead and know what you want, it is usually easy to obtain. I have had a wonderful experience living in Rowley, Gerard, and now St. Joe's. All of them have been kept very clean, including the bathrooms. Currently, my living situation is great - bathroom has been completely renovated with all new fixtures and doors, my own controllable heating and air conditioning units, and a large desk and dresser. The RAs do a great job of encouraging students to participate in programs to get to know new people and create a welcoming, comfortable environment.
Athletics are strong here, but there is much room for improvement. I think that there is student involvement but mainly at important games (rival matches, homecoming, etc.). There is not an even distribution of fans at the different sports either. The facilities are very good, given that we have a very small school and a small campus. The gyms are renovated, clean, and professional looking. The athletics department has a strong presence on campus as well. There are great coaches for some teams, and poor for others - this is reflected in the morale of the different teams we have. Some have great morale and work together well and are successful. Others, have poor morale and it does not bring the team close together.
Health & Safety:
Safety and security on campus is not taken lightly. The school is located in a safe environment and security enforcement are always available when needed.
Overall Experience:
Since the classes are small it is easier to create a relationship with classmates and professors instead of being just a number. The professor are very helpful in making sure their students have complete understanding of the subject being taught.

"I've been hearing about Austin trio the Carper Family for a while now, mainly from hardcore twang aficionados, so I knew I could expect some seriously beautiful old-school country roots music, but I was not prepared for how explosive these ladies were on stage! The Carper Family take old country traditions out of the closet, dust them off, and spark them up on stage. Their vocal harmonies are impeccable and really the best part about them is that they don't see any need to gussy up the music to make it fit with today's artists. They're totally happy just immersing themselves in the deep well of raw country traditions, and that fidelity to something real and authentic is what's propelled their careers forward so quickly. Their 2013 album was a grassroots success, bringing them press from No Depression, Folk Alley,and Vintage Guitar Magazine, plus a guest spot on Prairie Home Companion.

City Council will likely ditch plan to buy apartment building
The City Council at this afternoon's Work Session appeared poised to scrap a plan to spend $850,000 in federal grant funds to buy and renovate an 11-unit apartment building that city staff would operate.
Many council members appeared opposed to the plan. Like many of his colleagues, council member Dennis Webb said he didn't want the city to get into the apartment business. But Webb also said he didn't want to lose the funds to a looming federal deadline to commit the money. Council members complained that some of the money has been available for years but city staff waited until next week's deadline to bring forward a plan to spend the funds.
"I wish this had come to us early because I think we could have worked something out," council member Rose Cannaday said.
Webb rallied his colleagues around an idea of spending the money without operating an apartment property. Housing and Human Services Director Chris Hooper told council members they could steer the money toward a rental assistance program. Hooper told council members they'd have to hold a special meeting before Oct. 31 to do so.
City Manager Tommy Gonzalez said city staff could have a new resolution to replace the current plan written in time for tomorrow's meeting, but City Attorney Charles Anderson pointed out that swapping resolutions based on how tomorrow's agenda is worded could be a violation of the Open Meetings Act.
Mayor Beth Van Duyne instructed city staff to try and prepare something by tomorrow, but as council members echoed Anderson's call for a separate meeting, she asked for a new resolution redirecting the funds and the city secretary's office to schedule a new meeting before Oct. 31.

Group does its part to help animalsPosted Monday, January 28, 2013, at 12:02 PM
Missie is a pit mix puppy who was rescued from an abandoned swimming pool in Bicknell. She's available for adoption. (Submitted photo)
Our interview came right on the heels of another arrest for horrific animal cruelty. Sick minds seem to manifest behavior by abusing the defenseless and innocent.
The S.A.F.E. rescue group tries to right these wrongs.
Eaton and Riggins are part of a caring group of advocates working diligently to save and re-home abandoned and abused animals. Their mantra is "Death is not an option."
Chantel became involved in wildlife rehabilitation in 1993. She discovered a major problem in pet rescue. No one had anyone to call when there was a pet rescue emergency. Calls come in at various times of the day and during nighttime hours. She felt a need to remedy that situation. She also did not want these rescued animals to be euthanized.
A self-proclaimed "Facebook junkie," she realized what a powerful tool social networking could be. By partnering with Rebecca Graves and other pet advocates, the rescue became an actuality.
Rebecca is a veterinary technician. She has assumed many roles as a member of S.A.F.E. Elizabeth commented, "She's our resident McGruff Crime Dog. She monitors Facebook and various websites."
Rebecca also places adoptable pet photos on the S.A.F.E. website. "She is very knowledgeable about pet health and behavior. She is blunt and does not sugar-coat things, a necessary characteristic when one deals with the daily administrative duties of pet rescue," said Eaton.
Riggins and Eaton profiled their rescue group. S.A.F.E. rescue began last spring. Their successes are numerous. The group has 432 members and continues to grow. Their services cover no specific area. They police hoarders, backyard breeders, and puppy mills. They have been able to close down two puppy mills and are working on a third. They have five foster families. Area veterinarians are utilized for health care and pet wellness.
Adoptable pets don't leave rescue care without their first worming and shots. The adoption fee for pets is $75 which covers vet fees. If the new owner then shows proof of spaying or neutering, he or she will receive a $25 refund.
Potential pet adopters may access an application online at S.A.F.E.AnimalRescue.Inc .
There is a selective screening process before adoptions are finalized. The goal of S.A.F.E. rescue is availability. Euthanization is not a consideration.
As our interview neared its end, both ladies shared one of their many success stories, nearly bursting with enthusiasm and details.
Lauren Jones of Linton found a beagle on her porch. She called S.A.F.E. for help. Chantel received another call from Charla Byers at Subway regarding another beagle. After some thought, Chantel contacted Lauren. She was told by Ms. Jones the beagle had wandered away. It had moved from Lauren's to Subway. Charla was called again and agreed to take the dog to Elizabeth's home to be scanned. (The scanner had been a gift from a company.) Charla and wandering beagle showed up around 10 p.m. The scan produced the best possible outcome. The owner's address was Florida.
The following day the owner was called and, as expected, was extremely shocked. Her current residence was Texas. She had given the beagle to a friend right before Christmas. The friend lived in Kentucky.
While visiting his mom in Indiana during the holidays, the beagle got loose. He returned to Kentucky without his pet. After he was called about his dog, he texted Elizabeth the next morning. Arrangements are pending for reuniting dog and owner.
A happy ending for this gad-a-bout dog.
There are many more stories left for the telling. Advocating life for lost, abandoned, or abused pets is the right choice. "Death is not an option."

Pet care is top-notch work for pet owner and they are responsible to do it and most probably there are so many rules that could be followed by the pet owners that will keep the pets healthy.

This wonderful group helped me when no one elce would, a neighbor moved and left a Female Dog, she had babies, I didn't know what to do, I love animals but couldn't afford to take care of that many "right", and I didnt want them to be put down. I am sooo glad I found them, they found homes for them, and I am very thankful ! They do a very good work !

Cash Economies' Compliance Risks
Operating in developing countries that run on cash economies can present risks for companies tasked with financing on-the-ground staff.
A lack of financial infrastructure leaves multinational companies with limited options for funding staff in developing nations, and the options they do have present unique challenges and pitfalls. When credit card processors or even check deposits are unavailable, companies sometimes turn to giving employees cash. The practice resolves a logistical problem, but also makes tracking how the funds are being used much more difficult.
Companies regularly confront this problem in countries across Africa and South America, according to compliance experts, but also in less developed regions of countries with sophisticated economies like China. The biggest risk of giving employees cash up-front instead of using credit cards or a reimbursement system is drawing the ire of U.S. regulators if the funds are misused.
"You have no controls on the front end and unless you're extremely rigorous on the back end you might miss some things," said Tom Fox, a Houston-based lawyer whose practice focuses on anti-corruption compliance. "I think the Department of Justice could potentially view that as a source for paying bribes."
In May, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.K. drug giant GlaxoSmithKline is investigating anonymous allegations that its sales staff in China was involved in widespread bribery of doctors to prescribe drugs, including through cash payments that were wired directly to Glaxo employees' bank accounts. Glaxo confirmed it uses a system across China of advancing cash for employees' expenses because credit-card payments aren't possible in many locations, but it said it routinely audits such payments and has no evidence they were used to bribe doctors. It also said its investigation found no evidence of any bribery or corruption in relation to payments to doctors in its China business.
Other companies have previously run into trouble with cash advances Orthofix International N.V. entered into a settlement with U.S. Department of Justice in 2012 for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, after employees at a subsidiary in Mexico bribed government officials there to win rights to sell products to state hospitals. According to court documents, executives at the subsidiary periodically submitted requests for expense advancements and then cashed the resulting checks and used the funds as bribes. In the settlement, prosecutors noted Orthofix's lack of of internal controls at its Mexican subsidiary.
Kevin Corbett, a partner with Deloitte Financial Advisory Services, said that the trend is for multinationals to move to a corporate credit card system. But, in some parts of the world that still may not be possible, he said.
"Unfortunately a lot of the places where cards are not accepted are where the corruption risk may be higher," Mr. Corbett said. "If you have to use a cash advance system, enhanced skepticism may be necessary."
Philip Urofsky, a partner at Shearman & Sterling LLP who specializes in corruption investigations, said multinationals should implement several levels of control if they intend to wire staff upfront cash payments. First, companies should avoid large bulk transfers– weekly stipends are better than monthly stipends, he said. Second, companies need to have a documented method of evaluating what employees' average expenses are to ensure what they're providing mirrors actual expenses. Finally, Mr. Urofsky said companies must require employees to file regular expense reports, and if they don't document where the last stipend went, they don't receive the next one.
Even with rigorous controls in place, the system is not ideal Mr. Urofsky said, because documentation in places like China, where receipts can actually be purchased, is notoriously difficult. Mr. Fox agreed, and said that if at all possible, companies should avoid cash-advance systems.
"Giving cash to employees is clearly not best practice," Mr. Fox said.

NEWPORT, R.I. � The Narragansett Indian tribe has asked the federal government to transfer to its possession surplus Navy land � including the U.S. Naval Hospital � on Aquidneck Island, the Providence Journal has learned.
The request, made in April through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, threatens to derail years of planning by the island communities of Newport, Middletown and Portsmouth, to redevelop some of the acreage once actively used by the Navy.
�It was a little bit of a surprise,� said Jane Howington, the Newport City Manager. �We were kind of at the 11th hour when the BIA decided to put in a claim.�
Howington will discuss the issues raised by the Narragansetts� application, next week with the City Council. That discussion will happen in executive session.
According to a memo Howington sent to councilors June 3, the Navy has rejected the city�s efforts to redevelop the hospital property through a process known as economic development conveyance.
That�decision, coupled with moves by the three communities to separate their efforts in regards to the Navy land, opened an avenue for the Narragansetts, Howington said.
According to that June 3 memo, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, �strongly urged both Middletown and Newport to be aggressive in their efforts to purchase these parcels.�
It�s unknown at this juncture which parcels Middletown and Portsmouth want to purchase.
�If the City declines purchase of the Navy hospital property, there is a very strong likelihood it will be transferred to the BIA,� Howington states in her memo.
Matthew Thomas, chief sachem of the Narragansett tribe, has yet to return a phone call made today to the tribal office in Charlestown.

Nice day here. Took the doodle for a swim in a local lake. TSI have been evaluating M70 racing and training for some time now. It's the matter of recovery forms the biggest part of the equation. It can take days to recover from one hard session so training becomes limited either by frequency or by distance. M70s will typically be running only 3 to 5 miles per session if they want to train 5 or 6 times a week. Those who are doing 6 - 10 miles per session are unlikely to train more than 3 days a week. Either of these options are a limit on race performance. It's not a coincidence that there are proportionally far fewer M70s than M60s and in general it's because of the huge drop in performance that training can't off set. Of course there are a few exceptions but they are the lucky ones with the right genetic makeup rather than a determination to train harder or better.Btw, I'm not complaining. I find the whole process interesting and it's a challenge to experiment and see what works and what doesn't. I'm just grateful at the amount of exercise I can still do.JJ
Graham - nice work! It has been a long time since I ran any mile starting with a 6!
Torque Steer - rep miles - all well under 7s, very impressive. I'd be lucky to get one under 7! Your training is going so well, very happy for you.
JJ - My 70 plus friend only recently dropped off his running ability. He must be about 75 now, but he regularly ran about 9 miles a day, now he walk/runs, think it might be reduced to about 6 miles a day. He has stopped running marathons, not because he couldn't complete them, but he said he wouldn't enjoy them any more. Sad, as he was such a great motivator to new, young runners.
Nothing much to report, been slack this week, did get out yesterday with Mae for about 46 minutes, not sure if I'll get out today.
Good morning
Keeping the genes at bay - or should that be jeans? Both actually, I definitely don't run in jeans.
JJ - I run 3 times a week, although I miss one occasionally. You get flexibility though, if you miss one day you can do the next instead. I do 5, 6, or 7miles sometimes one of each and if I do 3 the same it's always 5s, as this week. I can't call it training though, indeed it's not meant to be. It's purely cosmetic - preserving the waistline. I nearly lost it once but not since I've been running regularly.
good morning
awsthat was a quick one for you!!
JJA very good indicator of whether training is the wrong intensity is whether or not one can go out the next day and do the programmed training. If not then the the previous day's intensity was too high. Adapt, improvise, learn and find what the body can maintain. There is new research coming along all the time as this is the first generation where folk have, in large numbers, actively sought to prolong sporting activity.
NZCThanks - it's going "quite" well as I don't want to put a jink on it! I have managed to get to the next plateau of training intensity and will concentrate on consolidating there for a few weeks moreI am sure once the marathon is out of your legs you will be able to blast through some mile reps at sub 7's - your 5K times bear that out
My weather altering qualities seem to have been short lived as this morning was cool and misty but still ideal running weather.
8.5 miles done in 71:24 (8:24m/m) with avHR 132 (67%WHR) and a max of 145

Felt pretty controlled throughout and no real fatigue from yesterday's intervals - mustn't have run them hard enough!!!
CealI am surprised you took that sort of carp from a wet behind the ears doc !!!
Baker's cysts are normally left untreated unless they are impinging on other activities which yours obviously is!!! you may well be surprised by your x ray - the phrase "wear and tear" is bandied about to cover a multitude of sins - ask if it is higher than they would expect for "normal" wear and tear. My xrays a couple years back came back clear apart from some signs of "wear and tear" and when I asked whether that meant abnormal deterioration they said very definitely "no" - it was much less than someone of my age and history
Afternoon all
Ceal-Hope everything is resolved with your injury sooner than later.
Graham-Ultra fast miles you ran there,well done.
TS--Every time i look in on this thread you have done another super session.Thinking back to the problems you had it is all the more remarkable,and i think you will just get quicker.
Made a mistake for myself as i went to one of those spinning classes at the gym.That was on wednesday and i can barely walk, its like i ran a marathon.Hope my legs recover in time for a little run on sunday.Next week starts a series of 10k in the summer league,will try to do some of them.
Off to Oxford this weekend to look after grandchildren so I doubt I will post for a couple of days.CealAt least the problem has been properly identified. That's most of the problem solved.TSYou are right. If tiredness or muscle soreness is apparent the day after training it's too much. Most guys in their 70s have discovered that 3 days training a week or 5 days if it's very short distances like 3 miles is about the level that can be sustainedJJ.
TS,Another good run in the bag.
Busbar,I had to laugh at the spinning class. It is amazing how easy it is to get sore doing something only a little bit different from your normal activities.
JJ,One thing I have noticed as I approach 70 is how the number of people I knew as well motivated runners 25 years ago has diminished.
An interesting run today, 9.3k, including some deer trails that meander through the bush alongside the river where I normally run. A little technical in places but still enjoyable.
JJ,Sounds about right what you say about over 70s likely to run 3 times a week or depending on distance possibly 5 outings. Thats the way I feel with my running, I have drifted into that sort of bracket. Most weeks it is 3 and on odd occasions 4 times a week. Rest and recovery becomes more important as we age it is clear to see .
Hence my best interest these days are the 5k races. Shan't be doing one tomorrow though as I shall be taking Marg and her sister to Manch. airport. Her sister recently won a competition ran by the WVS she works for,the prize...a free week's holiday for two in Benidorm . It'll seem strange for me as we have always holidayed together everywhere. I don't mind her going it'll give her a well deserved break.
As per normal, an easy Wednesday with a 4 mile run/walk recovery, 1 mile slow run and 3miles up and down hills walking.
Today back to a goodish run. First 2 and 3/4 miles warmup on uppity trails. Then I thought I'd check the distance of the new 5k RV parkrun. A one lap circular course. Turned out to be a little short by 0.06m but then that could easily be due to a lot of the course being widish so it depended on where the footfall went ! In other words a lot of runners would have different readings showing on their timepieces. A straight 3.1 mile would be best for accuracy but would be most boring to boot!
Had a bit of trouble with typing that post so sent it without times.Mile times first 2 and 3/4 was 12.28, 11.14 and 10.55 pace (for 3/4m)5k test 10.29, 10.19, 9.51 and 0.57 for 0.10 ( I stopped after finish point where Garmin said 3.1miles). Warmdown 0.72m back along the riverside trail.
Total mileage 6.55
TS,You're right it is the same place which you ran in the 10k a few years back when I first met you. By the way, the 5k also has some of that rough surface which you didn't like too much, as you said then you like" smooth not rough" .
aws - great run
Ceal problem your knee continues to get better.
Most I run is 3 times a week and a circuit exercise DVD.
My friend Debbie (Roobarb on RW & Fetch) didn't manage to do our 7 miles yesterday due to tummy.
Tuesday 4 miles 37:12
Thusday 7 miles 1:12:23
Sunday I'm doing Great Baddow 10
JJ - how are you evaluating M70 racing and training? - through observation of people you know (including yourself), or noting race performances of people you don't know personally, or something else? Or both those? And I wonder if anyone's doing the same thing for the F70s, of whom there seem to be even fewer. Than M70s, I mean.
Ceal - good to hear of the improvement, and of the fact that you have a diagnosis; I mean, a Thing with a Name.
Impey - I hope you don't mind the week alone too much.
I'm running 3 times a week at present - once with the running club, one interval or pyramid session or some such thing, and a longish run. That's the theory, anyway, but just did a gentle 3.2 miles today, saving myself for the 10-mile effort on Sunday.
Columba/ Tracey - good luck with the 10 milers.
Aws - good on you for getting out there - think that's a beg reason for must of us - trying to control the waistline
Ceal - couldn't your own doctor withdraw the fluid? I know they don't like to, but it seemed to work for my friend, though like you I would like to know that the needle was indeed going in the right place.
Torque Steer - another good run.
busbar - that's not good - nice to try new things but not if they stop you doing what you really love doing.
JJ - have a lovely time with your grand children.
Mick - be careful of the ticks the deer leave behind on the trees - don't go brushing by the trees or you could be in trouble. My son spent some quality time in a NY hospital after orienteering where deer had been.
This morning I went back to the Cornwall Park run 5km. It was pouring down with rain when I woke up and was trying to decide whether to go or not and my son rang and said he was going and would run/walk with Mae, so that was it.
I was late getting there, so not much warm-up. The rain stopped, but everywhere was wet and muddy. Didn't really feel like I got going, I just couldn't run any faster. I will have to do some speedwork to get the legs ticking over.
There are lots of sharp turns, so after about 200m, there is a sharp right turn and because of the muddy conditions one guy near me had a big slide. I settled in and pretty much ran by myself until about the 4km mark where I was catching a girl, who called out to her mother saying she wanted to stop. Instead of the mother saying that she was running well, the stupid women just yelled at her to run faster! Poor girl, and few metres later she pulled out. Sad, as she'd already done most of the hard work.
Anyway - 1km 4.52, 2km. 4.54, 3km 5.04 (long hill), 4km 4.47, 5km 5.06
Think all I can say is that it is a good way to do an effort run.
Sorry Aws - I couldn't change the typing mistakes in my other post.
NZC - Why apologise to me? I'm not the keyboard police.

Students grades seven through 12 will be singing, acting and joking Friday night in the Fort Frye High School auditorium during the school's annual variety show.
The show will feature 23 acts ranging from solos, duets, musicians, comedy acts and much more, according to Teresa Collins, guidance counselor and student council advisor at Fort Frye High School.
"There is a show in the afternoon for the student body and one in the evening for the public," she said. "There are several acts that will only be done during the afternoon and several that will be only in the evening."
The evening show will begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $4 for students and $5 for adults with all of the proceeds going to student council.
"This is really student council's only fundraiser of the year," said Collins. "We use the money we raise here to do other projects year round."
Fact Box
If you go
What: Annual Fort Frye High School variety show.
Where: Fort Frye High School Auditorium.
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Cost: $4 for students and $5 for adults.
This is Collins first year directly involved with the variety show, but she said it has always been extremely popular with the students and the community.
"It's one of the more popular things we do during the year," she said. "We usually pack the auditorium for the evening show."
The show was open to students grades seven through 12 as long as they were one of the acts chosen by the student council talent panel.
"Students came up with their own act and auditioned them in late February," said Collins. "We had so many acts audition that we actually had to cut a few of them."
There will also be a special performance by the teachers and drama department for the students during the afternoon, she said.
One act will feature a student who graduated that was a regular during the variety show in years past.
"He will be playing guitar for a seventh grader who will be singing for the show," Collins said.
For senior Hannah Willey, 17, this is the third and final variety show that she will be involved with.
Willey is the student body president and is charged with the task of making sure the show goes as planned.
"I'll be making sure things go smoothly with the preparations on stage and aiding in the communication between the lights and backstage," she said. "I'll also be performing in several acts during the show."
She will be singing in a duet, participating in a "hand slap" rhythm act and performing in a drama skit.
"There are a few of us that are doing three or four acts," she said. "I think we are participating in so many because we don't want this to be our last show."
Willey said the variety show means a great deal to both the students performing and those in the audience.
"It's a fun way for students to get involved with the high school experience while showcasing their talents," she said. "For parents and audience members it's good entertainment and a chance to see kids on stage doing what they love."

Why an Oregon State education is a smart investmentThursday, October 4th, 2012
Much has been made about the increasing cost of higher education recently, and some have even questioned the value of getting a college degree. At Oregon State, we point to some very tangible things that show not only the value of a college degree, but specifically earning it at Oregon State: VALUE: The Fiske Guide […]

Hello there, i would like to inform you about a problem we had with the google analytics plugin and how we solved it. Perhaps you will decide to make the change also.
We are using your plugin in a network mulitsite enabled wordpress. The users are all created automatically.
Since our users can only add other existing users to their blogs, but they can not edit them, they don't have the 'edit_users' capability!
So while they can enable the 'google analytics for wordpress' plugin, when they try to go to the options page they get the message
that they don't have permission.
We solved the problem by editing the file yst_plugin_tools.php at line 19
from - var $accesslvl = 'edit_users';
to + var $accesslvl = 'activate_plugins';
With the activate_plugins capability we still make sure that the logged in is an administrator and we can now access the options page without the permission error.
Thank you.

On July 9th I still hadn't heard from the overseas company about whether or not they had received my money and so I telephoned my local branch in USA to ask when the transfer took place. I was told they would have to phone me back next day with details which they did not.
I then e-mailed customer service in Standard Bank in South Africa who replied that they had received only Rands 436! I asked them where the other Rands 100 had gone and they sent me the exact details and that was as follows:
SunTrust had sent the Rands to an intermediary bank and they had deducted the R100 for processing the wire transfer. The Standard Bank wrote and told me that they themselves do not take any fee for receiving the money.
I have all this information on my e-mails.
I called my bank and was told that they didn't know of any other fees which would be deducted and from the tone of our conversation they didn't care much what had happened and they still hadn't given me the info I requested.
It took Standard Bank in South Africa a few hours to answer my e-mail and the SunTrust never did give an explanation of themselves.
Since them I look up online information from the banking community - XE Trade.com which reads "Fees Routing to South Africa - Wires in South African Rand (ZAR) to South Africa must be sent through an intermediary bank. This third party intermediary charges their own fees outside of our control. This fee various, but in our experience, it is usually about 100 ZAR (approx. US$17). We therefore advise that when booking trades into ZAR you buy an extra 100 ZAR to cover for the intermediary fee."
My question is this. If banks are to be accountable for not ripping off their clients then why, at the time of purchase of my funds, was I not informed of the above information? I also was not informed that my $50 would be deducted from my account and that none of it would pay for the transfer through the intermediary bank.
It is time this bank was made accountable for the mistakes it makes. It has been my experience that most of their staff don't know what they are doing, give wrong information and are less than helpful in seeking the correct information for their customers.
I came back to SunTrust having moved all my funds away to another bank years ago but now I have to re-consider moving them again with such bad service and product.

Something bubbles up from the ground, something dark, something intense, something that might reach under your skin and pull your face flesh right off. What could this something be? Oh yes, of course, it is the new Burzum album "Belus", which brings Varg Vikernes back to his old solo project after eleven years. True Varg has gone through some tough times but none of that really matters here, what matters is that Burzum has a new album and by the end of its fifty two minutes the record will own your balls.
What does this new Burzum sound like? A demon migraine? A gothic feedback opera? The soundtrack of the moment between when everything is okay and you realize you're about to die? It could be any of these things to me but when you hear it you'll pull something new from the sounds.
That's what makes Burzum so awesome, it's an artistic expression that attaches itself to what you want it to mean. Technically this is an opus about the god Belus and his trip through Hell. You can take it for face value or you can look deeper and see where you fit into the music.
Sonically this is Black Metal but Black Metal made to be taken seriously. Created within a real studio with good equipment. Thanks to that the high-end, consistently driving guitars and pounding drum rhythms come through. Belus isn't that tinny and unappealing standard Black Metal sound, something like thirty billion gnats arguing through a megaphone. Instead Belus is clean and layered so you can hear all of the various guitars sounds and small dramatic vocal elements Varg adds.
There's also a groove to this, a slow moving wave of riffage that pulls you along. Imagine if Immortal covered Fu Manchu songs. I'm not saying it's that but there's a distinct vibe to the groove of Belus that gives it real weight. Sure the music slices through you like a sword but it also crushes you like a stone the Gods couldn't lift. This is some of Burzum's best work in a long time.
Like the subject matter the album Belus is a massive undertaking and one that must be listened to all the way through. Burzum has this ability, even at its scariest moments, to lift you up and transport you to another place. Experiencing that can't be done if you have the album on shuffle or you try to pick the best song. Burzum demands that you listen to Belus all the way through, there is no stopping, just experience it and shut up.
Are you a better person when the album finishes? I think so, or at least a smarter person on what Black Metal can do if not squandered by make up and creepy forest pretenses. Varg and his black-hearted creation Burzum have taken what they do and elevated it in terms of songwriting and production. Belus is not only a great nod to the mystical but also to how artistically beautiful extreme music can be if handled correctly.

Remember the term "Lock Up Your Daughters"? Well that saying would never apply to the band Daughters and their new self-titled album. This music is frayed nerves, manic, and dark but with a touch of the circus that I dug. I don't mean circus music just that same frantic energy that comes when the lions step up or a trapeze artist stars flipping around with no net. For lack of a better idea Daughters turns the whole fight-or-flight syndrome into music. None of what's going on in this album makes sense but I don't think it's really supposed to.
Daughters play high pitched, piercing guitar rock that lands somewhere between grindcore and the old AmRep bands. Imagine The Jesus Lizard on speed trying to calm it down with high-end weed.
All of the instruments here seem to blend together and create waves of music that roll into one another. At times the work can feel truly emotional while at others it's just a straight kick to your nuts. Everything Daughters plays is huge but not epic, more like a massive wall of sound.
The vocals here are interesting because they're mixed into what's happening musically, more of an addition than a headpiece. Do you know what the singer is saying? No, and you probably won't care.
Interestingly enough I wouldn't think he'd care either. Half the vocals are little sounds or screams or weird noises. I'm all for anybody who realizes maybe vocals aren't the most important thing and just tosses into the sound of the band.
This isn't music for the faint of heart or those looking for some kind of dynamic break. Daughters' are consistently fast, constantly abrasive and always noodling. Half the record sounds as if the band made it up as they went along. I'm sure it takes a lot of planning to sound this fucking off the wall and hear, hear, my hat is off to these boys for doing it so well. At times what Daughters' does becomes overbearing and drifts into self-indulgence but it always snaps right back.
I've long lamented for a return of the AmRep style bands. The bands that married noise, feedback, art rock and punk into an amalgam that reduced music to it's rawest form while pushing it as far out as it could go. I don't think Daughters are there yet but they are certainly on their way. It takes guts to make music that most people will find irritating or scary or both.
Without bands like this people can't make headway into new arenas and music starts to decay and die. Daughters have slapped on their miners hats, grabbed picks and headed into the dark shaft of the future with great enthusiasm. They stumble, they fall, but they get right back up and start digging. Daughters may not be the future of music but I guarantee they will be listed as the inspiration to the band that is.

MONTREAL (NHL.com) - The hex is over. The Boston Bruins snapped a five-game losing streak against their arch rivals Wednesday with a 4-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens.
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask made 35 saves for his third win in 15 career starts against the Canadiens.
Boston (43-17-5) got a goal each from Carl Soderberg, Patrice Bergeron, Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara, giving the Bruins 26 goals with 10 against over the course of their season-high six-game winning streak.
It pulled them within a point of the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins, with each team having 17 games remaining on the schedule, none against each other.
David Desharnais scored on Montreal's 30th shot of the game with the score 4-0 to break Rask's shutout at 2:46 of the third period. NHL Trade Deadline acquisition Thomas Vanek had an assist, his first point in his third game with the Canadiens.
Montreal (35-25-7) lost its third in a row and fourth in five games, squandering a game in hand on the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are one point ahead in second place in the Atlantic Division standings.
Goalie Peter Budaj got the start for the Canadiens largely based on his 4-1-0 record against the Bruins, but he continued to struggle in the starting role with Carey Price missing his eighth straight game with a lower-body injury he aggravated playing for Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Budaj's record since the return from the Olympic break is 2-4-1 with a save percentage of .869 in seven starts.
The win was the Bruins' first against the Canadiens since a 2-1 victory here on Feb. 6, 2013, which was Boston's fifth in a row against Montreal. Now it's the Bruins who snapped the Canadiens' five-game winning streak against them.
Early on it looked as though that streak may continue. The Canadiens controlled the play in the first period but were unable to beat Rask. Montreal outshot Boston 14-6, with three of those Bruins shots coming on one power play and the other three at even strength.
Rask was particularly good stopping Max Pacioretty on a clean breakaway at 8:35 with a quick pad save on a snap shot from the slot, and the goalie stopped an Alex Galchenyuk breakaway about eight minutes later.
It was a different story in the second period, when Boston came out with a clear purpose and took the game to Montreal.
It paid off at 1:33 when Soderberg took advantage of a Jarred Tinordi miscue to get the puck all alone in front of Budaj, scoring his 12th goal of the season. Soderberg, Boston's third-line center, has four goals and five assists in his past nine games.
The Canadiens got behind the Bruins a third time just before the midway point of the second period, but Tomas Plekanec's shot went well wide.
Moments later, Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov fell at the Boston blue line to create a Bruins 3-on-1, one Bergeron finished off a feed from Brad Marchand at 9:25 to make it 2-0.
Lucic made it 3-0 at 18:32 of the second, hitting Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin in the Boston end to create a turnover, then hustling up the ice to take a Jarome Iginla pass and one-time a shot past Budaj for his 20th goal of the season.
Lucic has scored at least 20 goals in each of his past three complete seasons.
Chara made it 4-0 on the first shift of the third period, collecting a rebound of his shot to beat Budaj at 0:23.

They're always there to cup your genitals — because the TSA's unskilled workers violating your body and your rights aren't about security. They're about jobs for people who'd otherwise be out of work, money for the connected Chertoffs of the world, and training you to be obedient when your rights are yanked from you.
The New York Post's Philip Messing writes:
The undercover TSA agent who got past Newark Airport screeners with an improvised explosive device in his pants exposed a stunning lack of security that the agency had better fix before al Qaeda strikes again, Rep. Peter King warned yesterday.
The Long Island Republican wrote a scathing letter to Transportation Security Administration boss John Pistole demanding "immediate answers" about how the fed was able to get past a magnetometer and a secondary pat-down with the inert device, which he then could have brought onto a commercial flight.
The chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence called the Feb. 25 breach — which was reported yesterday exclusively by The Post — "yet another in a long line of security failures discovered at Newark."
The entire TSA is one huge "security failure," with thieves, pedophiles, and murderers as employees (police thyself?!), and as a matter of principle.
As I've said before, it's simply ludicrous to think it is "security" to treat every member of the flying public, even if they're three years old and in a wheelchair, as if they're a plausible member of al Qaeda. It's ludicrous to have unskilled workers performing "security" as people board planes, when in fact you find terrorists by having highly skilled intelligence workers use what the Constitution sets out — probable cause (reasonable suspicion somebody has committed or will commit a crime) — to investigate perps long before they ever enter an airport, mall, or other public arena.

Encana buys Texas oil lands for $3.1 billion
By The Canadian Press
CALGARY - Encana Corp. (TSX:ECA) expects to roughly double its oil production with the $3.1 billion acquisition of property in south Texas.
The Calgary energy producer said Wednesday that it has reached an agreement to acquire 45,500 net acres of oil-producing property in the Eagle Ford shale formation.
The deal with Freeport-McMoRan covers property which produced about 53,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter of 2014.
"Gaining a position in a world class, oil-rich resource play like the Eagle Ford accelerates the transition of our portfolio and underscores our investment focus on high margin assets," CEO and president Doug Suttles said in a news release.
"With this transaction, combined with our announced divestments of Jonah and properties in East Texas, we're replacing natural gas production with high margin oil and liquids production," Suttles said.
Encana said the Texas acreage has an estimated drilling inventory of more than 400 locations in the heart of the oil-rich Eagle Ford area, adding that Eagle Ford is recognized as being among the most profitable resource plays in North America.
In the first quarter of 2014, production from the acreage to be acquired by Encana included approximately 46,000 barrels per day of total liquids production and 44 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, which generated an operating cash flow of US$327 million.
"In addition to the near term growth potential of this asset, we believe there are many opportunities to enhance the value of this world class position by applying our proven resource play expertise," Suttles said.
"Overall, this acquisition fully aligns with our strategy announced last November; it will significantly boost our oil and liquids output, improve our ability to generate cash flow and enhance our portfolio of world class resource plays."
Encana has sold some of its natural gas properties in Texas to an undisclosed purchaser for about $530 million as the company continues to pare down its portfolio. It also recently announced it will sell assets in Denver and Wyoming.
Encana has also said it has advanced its plans for spinning off a portion of its assets in Western Canada into a separate publicly traded business, PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. The new company doesn't plan to directly develop or produce petroleum or natural gas, but will focus on attracting third-party investments to develop the properties.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Bahamas rock iguana searches for food both on the ground and in trees. The diet is primarily herbivorous, consisting of fruit, flowers and leaves of at least 58 species, but occasionally also includes insects, molluscs, crustaceans, arachnids, lizards and carrion (1). Adult males are territorial all year round, seemingly to guard access to the food and females in their range. Mating is seasonal, taking place in May, and females produce a single clutch of two to nine eggs a year, which are laid in the nest burrow in June. Although females show no territorial behaviour during the rest of the year, they will actively defend the burrow for several days to several weeks after nesting, in order to protect their eggs from potential danger (1). The eggs hatch in September, after an incubation period of about 90 days (5). Sexual maturity is not attained until seven years of age for males, six to seven years for females, and evidence suggests that certain individuals live to at least 20 years old (1).

Lowdown: One of Broadway's most popular jukebox musicals directed by "Hairspray's" Adam Shankman featuring Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti, Mary J. Blige and Russell Brand and it tanks? This was the musical filled with '80s heavy metal rock songs that was supposed to appeal to men, but it barely did better than "Rent." Did Cruise actually turnoff the intended audience? Did it still look too Broadway? Did the reviews hurt that much? Warner Bros. is still scratching their heads over this one.
