Time Banking Can Help During the Recessionby Ron Callari
In today's recessionary world, its become exceedingly difficult to make time for ourselves and the others we care for. With job lay-offs, the decline of 401Ks and wage decreases, we are spending more time worrying about our finances than taking care of things that still need to be accomplished. Cutting the lawn, walking the dog, tutoring your child are tasks that still need to be tended to, but sometimes overlooked. With our spirits dampened, we fore-go even the basic necessities of our everyday lives.What if you could go to a Time Bank and make a withdrawal of time to assist you during this trying period?

Kristen Ingersoll, Fashion & Entertainment Director of Hearst Magazines International
Tells us why there is nothing contradictory about finding sensible ways to be indulgent in the luxury publishing business.
Kristen Ingersoll
"I know a shoot has been successful when there's a flurry of twittering and blogging feedback around it. The internet is a great way to know when a cover issue has done well on the newsstands," says the woman who chooses which luxury brands A-list celebrities and supermodels wear in some of the world's leading fashion magazines.
"I'll never forget when we photographed Anne Hathaway right during the release of The Devil Wears Prada. I think I saw the movie the day after we photographed her. The shoot was a huge success and it ended up on over 30 of our covers around the world. Talk about good timing."
As fashion & entertainment director at Hearst Magazines International, a division of the media empire which publishes a stable of upmarket titles including Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and Esquire, Kristen Ingersoll helps shape the tastes of the global luxury goods consumer. Her wardrobe choices and styling ideas reverberate across many of the 100 or so country markets in which the publishing house operates its popular magazine franchises.
With red carpet style still the most potent form of publicity for many fashion brands today, this means substantial power – especially considering the reach of the covers Ingersoll produces for Hearst's editions in lucrative emerging luxury markets like Russia, Dubai and South Korea and upstart territories like Australia, not to mention mature markets from North America to Japan.
" It is the ricochet effect of Ingersoll's prerogative which makes her all the more formidable "
Ingersoll dresses celebrities and supermodels as diverse as Chloë Sevigny, Pierce Brosnan, Victoria Beckham, Chanel Iman and Sienna Miller for Hearst's covers
Nevertheless, it is the ricochet effect of Ingersoll's prerogative which makes her all the more formidable. How she dresses stars like Hathaway when they are rising up the celebrity ranks also influences their marketability as potential luxury brand ambassadors and campaign models in the future.
Yet despite her considerable impact – and in contrast to the big egos which many of her peers in New York's publishing establishment both bruise and brandish in equal measure – this Boston native has remained as affable, exuberant and approachable as the day she first touched down in New York from Paris 20 years ago.
"I started my career as an intern at French Elle in Paris by sending my résumé in a huge box of confetti. The working relationship started immediately; I absolutely loved it there and felt right at home," she says.
"I tried nearly every department at the magazine, including the international office, which was a great way to see all aspects of publishing. After a year there, a position opened up in New York with American Elle where I stayed for an additional six years until I met my current boss, Kim St. Clair Bodden from Hearst who was so incredibly dynamic and convinced me to join her team."
Corresponding with celebrity publicists, being on set and scanning designer showrooms is what dominates most of her work week, Ingersoll suggests, but she is also regularly dispatched to many of Hearst's international outposts, working closely with local editors to help them develop their fashion pages within the parameters set by Hearst headquarters for each of its magazine brands.
With so much time spent on the road or in negotiations, it makes opportunities to nurture her raw creative inspiration that much more precious than they might otherwise be in a slightly different role.
Earlier this year, Ingersoll's fashion shoot of Chloë Sevigny made the cover of the Russian edition of Harper's Bazaar and many other international Hearst editions
"I try to pack in as much as I can, as something will ignite into a bigger idea at some point, which will eventually lead to a cover shoot or fashion story. I'm forever looking for clues, ripping out pages from newspapers or wherever."
"Who will we photograph next? What will the theme be? Music, movies, books…everything is an inspiration. My walks to and from work I call 'touching base with the street' and are super important, as I might be inspired by a group of school kids or a bum sorting through the trash."
Being the beast that it is, fashion publishing has always been inherently fickle and, given the turbulence felt by the luxury industry in recent years, it is no surprise that Ingersoll sees discipline and adaptability as character prerequisites instead of virtues.
"I think it's always important to take a step back from the big wave, whatever the economic trend may be so as not to get totally swept away, however good or bad it may be. Having a tight budget is very important and I've always followed that," she says. "No matter how full the well is, it's always good to ration carefully and have a backup plan and not be too indulgent."
Another aspect of publishing where the adaptable nature of editors like Ingersoll will soon be needed is the convergence of editorial content and online commerce, something which is already shaking the foundations of the business models upon which publishers operate as magazine brands morph from mere curators to fashion merchants in their own right.
"Bring it on," says Ingersoll. "There's already a greater link between sales and editorial as it is now. I think it's wonderful; I also see it as a way to further our creativity."
Besides having to get acquainted with the nuts and bolts of new digital platforms and working in new financial realities over the past few years, Ingersoll has had to continue anticipating the changing attitudes of Hearst's diverse global readership with regards to luxury as well as to publishing itself.
"I suppose it's like evolution, we slowly change into a new shape or form that reflects what the readers want and need. Everyone adapts pretty quickly thereafter without even realizing the change until someone points it out."
As far as her personal perspective on what constitutes luxury and how to express it is concerned, Ingersoll believes that the great recession only reinforced an ethos that was formed at a very young age – a time when she was "already very particular."
"I can always return to a classroom scene from my childhood as a friendly reminder, if ever I needed to," says this francophile, who spent much of that childhood globetrotting from one university campus to another where her father did research; visiting Paris with her grandmother and lounging around her father's archaeological excavation sites.
Behind the scenes at a recent shoot Ingersoll did with Pavel Havlicek and Hana Soukupova as our tribute to Alexander McQueen for global Harper's Bazaar editions
"One year, we had to go to my great uncle's home on Long Island, which had been the estate of my great grandparents and their ancestors before them so it was the perfect setting for our family reunion."
But shortly after the reunion when she returned to school and was asked to participate in "Show and Tell" in front of her class, Ingersoll says that in her youthful naivety she didn't think twice about telling her nine-year old classmates all about her luxurious adventure.
"I recounted all the cars my uncle had, starting with the Rolls Royce and Bentley, and told them how I played hide and seek with the servants' children in the secret passages in one wing of the house and had pinball competitions in the grand foyer next to the butler. I think I even mentioned the helicopter used for transit but at that point I was already in deep trouble with my teacher who called my parents to see if I had problems with lying."
"It's quite funny looking back now of course but, at the time, I was devastated to be falsely accused of something like that. From that day forward, luxury has always been something I cherished and greatly appreciated, but from a very quiet perspective."

The boys over at Twitch Film got the word earlier today that the final schedule for the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (or BIFFF as we hipsters call it), running April 5th-17th, has been posted online and, much like previous years, it's chock full of horrific goodness.
Along with some more mainstream movies like The Messengers, David Goyer's The Invisible remake (which I believe is the film's premiere) and Disturbia, there's also a great assortment of low-budget fare like the were-rat movie Mulberry Street, Bill Dear's Simon Says, Angela Bettis' Roman (DVD review), Adam Mason's Broken (review), both Death Note films (reviews in our database) and a New Zealand film called The Ferryman that sounds very badass.
That's not even half of their entire lineup, which will also include the first screenings of some of the Masters of Science Fiction series; be sure you click here to check out the entire list and make plans to get to Belgium ASAP!

'Monster' plan to automate cyberspy hunt risked sparking war, Snowden says
Related topics
The US National Security Agency secretly planned a cyberwarfare program that could automatically fire back at cyberattacks from foreign countries without any human involvement, a new report says.
The plan would have created the risk of accidentally starting a war, said the report in Wired magazine based on interviews with former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The program, codenamed MonsterMind, would have let the military agency automate the process of "hunting for the beginnings" of a foreign cyberattack, the report said.
The software would be constantly on the lookout for digital "traffic patterns" that indicated known or suspected attacks, said the report published this week.
The report, part of a wide-ranging interview with Snowden in Moscow, described the MonsterMind program as "in the works" and going further than other longstanding programs.
Without any human involvement, Snowden told the magazine, a counter-attack could be levelled at an innocent party - largely because initial attacks were often routed or diverted through other countries.
"You could have someone sitting in China, for example, making it appear that one of these attacks is originating in Russia. And then we end up shooting back at a Russian hospital," Snowden said. "What happens next?"
The problem of attribution after a cyberattack has long unsettled computer security experts. A US House of Representatives subcommittee in 2010 concluded that "proactively tracing interactions within a system may help determine where an attack originated after one occurs, but tracing every interaction is impractical and quite likely unconstitutional".
Snowden also called the program a major threat to privacy because the NSA would first "have to secretly get access to virtually all private communications coming in from overseas to people in the US", said the new report.
Snowden has remained exiled in Russia since leaking top-secret NSA documents to journalists last year. They revealed the NSA was collecting the phone records and digital communications of millions of US citizens not suspected of a crime, prompting congressional reform.
The NSA declined to comment on specifics of the Wired report. A spokeswoman, Vanee Vines, instead said: "If Mr Snowden wants to discuss his activities, that conversation should be held with the US Department of Justice. He needs to return to the United States to face the charges against him."
The US government has recently stepped up measures against foreign cyberattacks. In May, the Justice Department brought first-of-its-kind cyber-espionage charges against five Chinese military officials accused of hacking into US companies to gain trade secrets.
Snowden also told the magazine that the NSA tried to hack into a major Syrian internet router amid the country's civil war.

Distinguished Christian Scholars at Nyack/ATS Faculty Retreat
Faculty of Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary (ATS) will convene for an annual retreat on August 27-28 at the Rockland County, NY campus hosted by Nyack's Center for Scholarship and Global Engagement. The Center is directed by Dr. Vilma "Nina" Balmaceda.
Headlining the event will be two of our nation's leading Christian scholars. Nyack College and ATS professors will also be featured in a special faculty presentation and two special moderated panels.
On Monday, August 27 in the chapel of Alliance Theological Seminary, 350 North Highland Ave. in Nyack, Dr. Joel Carpenter (pictured above) will present his keynote address, "Faithful Scholarship in an Age of World Christianity." Dr. Carpenter is the director of the Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI and the former provost of Calvin College (1996-2006). Prior to this post, he was director of the religion program at Pew Charitable Trusts for seven years.

First, the drawbacks: Cairo's crowds make Manhattan look like a ghost town, papyrus sellers and would-be guides hound you at every turn, and your snot will run black from the smog. But it's a small price to pay to tap into the energy of the place Egyptians call Umm ad-Dunya – the Mother of the World.
Rugged and starkly beautiful, the Sinai Peninsula's vast and empty desert heart has managed to capture imaginations throughout the centuries. Coveted for both its deep religious significance and its strategic position as a crossroads of empires, prophets and pilgrims, conquerors and exiles have all left their footprints on the sands here.
Sinai Coast
A barren coastline of extraordinary beauty, the Sinai Coast has seen some of history's most significant events over the past several millennia played out against its isolated shores. These days, however, the region is more renowned for its superb coral reefs, unique Bedouin culture and sandy beaches.
Red Sea Coast
Egypt's Red Sea coast isn't often on independent travellers' itineraries, yet some of the most important sites in Christianity's early evolution lie tucked away amid the barren mountains of the north. Venture south of brashly loud and proud Hurghada and you'll not only find some of Egypt's best diving but also the epic, wild expanse of the Eastern Desert.
Alexandria & the Mediterranean Coast
Egypt's northern coastline runs for 500km along Mediterranean shores. Its sandy beaches and turquoise-hued sea lures floods of Egyptians here during the summertime. Most travellers, however, make a beeline straight to the once-great port city of Alexandria.
Nile Valley: Esna to Abu Simbel
The Nile south of Luxor is increasingly hemmed in by the Eastern Desert, its banks lined with grand, well-preserved Graeco-Roman temples at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo, and its lush fields punctuated by palm-backed villages – it's the ideal place to sail through on a Nile boat.
Founded by none other than Alexander the Great and once the seat of Queen Cleopatra, the city of Alexandria (Al-Iskendariyya) is the stuff that legends are made of. It's harbour entrance was once marked by the towering Pharos lighthouse (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) and its Great Library was renowned as the ultimate archive of ancient knowledge.
Plucked from obscurity and thrust into the limelight during the early days of the Red Sea's tourism drive, the tiny fishing village of Hurghada has long since morphed into today's dense band of concrete that marches relentlessly along the coastline for well over 20km. Rampant construction has left the town blighted by half-finished shells of pleasure palaces never realised.
Sharm el-Sheikh & Na'ama Bay
The southern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, between Tiran Island and Ras Mohammed National Park, features some of the world's most amazing underwater scenery. The crystal-clear waters, rare and lovely reefs and an incredible variety of exotic fish darting in and out of the colourful coral have made this a snorkelling and scuba-diving paradise.
Low-key, laid-back and low-rise, Dahab is the Middle East's prime beach resort for independent travellers. The startling transformation from dusty Bedouin outpost to spruced-up tourist village is not without its detractors, who reminisce fondly of the days when beach bums dossed in basic huts by the shore.
Suez Canal
The Suez Canal, Egypt's glorious triumph of engineering over nature, dominates this region, slicing through the sands of the Isthmus of Suez for 163km, not only severing mainland Egypt from Sinai but also Africa from Asia. The canal was the remarkable achievement of Egypt's belle époque, an era buoyed by grand aspirations and finished by bankruptcy and broken dreams.

Skip to comments.Specter wants Wilson censured
Posted on 09/10/2009 8:12:33 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27
click here to read article
It is not the job of the Senate especially Specter to tell the House what to do or not do.
Boo hoo. Cry in your cheerios.
So, back to the Health care issue. Did Obama achieve his goals last night? No, we are talking about a congressman that openly called him out, tee hee.
Specter wants Wilson censured. Hoosier-Daddy wants Specter retired.
Call ALL the Joe Wilson 'Liar' whiners a whambulance, kkthx.
Well, if the Congress is going to censure people . . how about . . .Charlie Rangel?
Words fail. This is the creep that Jorge Bush supported over the real conservative in the PA primary.
This the creep that defended the UNICORN murderer—Ira Einhorn.
Why does this creep dare to show his face?
Hey Arlen, where were you when they were bashing President Bush? Hmmmmmm? So STFU!
Under Scottish Law.
Hey Arlen, where were you when your new found Dem asshats booed Bush? I'm from PA Arlen and I can tell you to enjoy the rest of this term because you won't have another one.
Specter can go to h*ll.
I want Specter thrown in a pit.
Spectre must see this as a way to gain fame and popularity among Dem voters in Penn. Because he's not a very good bet for re-election.
This is why it was pointless to apologize. They will never be satisfied. If Wilson himself said he that he should be censored, they would demand his resignation. If he said he was going to resign, they would demand his arrest, If....
If our Founding Fathers succombed to censure Spectre wouldn't have a job today. scumbag
Oh please, please, please let Nancy and her minions censure Rep. Wilson. Talk about igniting the masses! At least there was someone willing to speak out FOR THE PEOPLE.
Joe Wilson should get a medal of freedom.
He is the only one who told the truth last night.
Arlen Sphincter should be punished for pretending to be republican all these years.
He should investigate ACORN!
Spector speaks like a true blue turncoat.
Effectively it appears that most Republicans in the House have had their voices censured already.
Cheers to the 1st Amendment and calling a liar a liar.
He has already punished both himself and usin his apology!
Joe Wilson brief hero/wimp in reality!
What can one expect from the degenerations of the hippies, dopers, and baby boomers, etc.
The heroesthe Pattons, MacArthurs, Audie Murphys, Chesty Pullers, John Waynes, etc. are gonewhat you see is what you get!
Are Ron Paul and Paul Broun the only real men left in the HR???
Captain Nathan Brittles: Never apologize. Its a sign of weakness.
John WayneShe Wore A Yellow Ribbon
I want Specter taken out behind some shed and whupped.
Pat Toomey wants Bennedict Arlen.
Specter should be kicked out of the Senate for deceiving the good people of Pennsylvania who elected him to represent them as a REPUBLICAN!
Not proven!!
oops, Pat wants Arlen censured.
I am supporting Wilson! He said EXACTLY what 1) everyone KNOWS, and 2) what we ALL want to slap Bambi with! The TRUTH!
Arlen Specter, another proud resident of Joe Biden's Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous...
Spector is an irrelevant piece of flotsam not greatly differing from McCain.
Specter? It's a good thing that liberals are so utterly shameless and such thorough hypocrites. Here's a guy who betrayed his party time and again, finally LEAVING it for political ends and he wants to impose HIS view of right and wrong on someone!! Astounding, but NOT surprising.
Then you go the hell away.
This turd has been around since JFK! He wrote the rules on disclosure there, he voted against impeachment for Clinton and now, he returns to the democratic socialist party. ..........get him out now.
Specter started as a slime ball. He grew up as a slimeball, and in high school, was a rapt student of being a slimeball. When he went to college, he joined the slimeball team as Head Slimeball. He excelled in this sport. He graduated with Slimeball honors, went to war in WWI as a 13-D Slimeball Operator, and won three medals of Slime. Then he married into Slime, ran for Senate under the Slimeball party, and remained a Slimeball for the entirity of his career.
How about this apology for size.
"I am sorry you are a liar"
"I am sorry you can't tgell the truth"
"I am really sorry that you were ever elcted in the first place you post turtle!"
I guess the moon-bat is quoiting Scottish Law.
Specter is a two-faced bustard.
Forget all the corruption and awful legislation and bailing out of billionaire bankers...
Oh shut up Specter, deranged old man.
Him and Trent Lott.
The democrats think they have an issue, but all they'll end up doing is reminding everyone over & over that the president's a liar.
Did you ever call for Sen. Kennedy's censure you old fool?
Go pound sand!
Joe Wilson...just saying what the country is thinking...and our reps are afraid to say.
Under Scottish law Wilson was within his rights.
Spector, of all people, should know that.

Caramelized Onion Bread
- 1 1/2-2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water, warm (100-110F)
- 4-5 cups bread flour
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
InstructionsIn a medium sauce pan, cook onions and 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until onions are translucent. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining vegetable oil and continue to cook until onions are light golden, about 15 more minutes. Cool to room temperature, or just slightly warm.
In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), combine yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup water. Stir to dissolve and let sit until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Pour in remaining water, 3 cups bread flour and mix well. Add onions, pepper, salt and another cup of flour and stir again. If using the stand mixer, use a dough hook attachment. Add remaining flour gradually until dough comes together into an elastic ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and let rise unil doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan with vegetable oil. Gently deflate risen dough on a lightly floured surface, press a hole in the center of it (like a giant donut) and place in tube pan. Let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
When bread is finished rising, bake for 45 minutes. An internal read thermometer will read about 200F when the bread is finished and the loaf will be a dark golden color.
Turn loaf out of pan onto a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before slicing.
Makes 1 large loaf

Author has written 1 story for Harry Potter.
"All I loved, I loved alone." - Edgar Allen Poe.
A nineteen year old art student from Brisbane, Australia.
Please don't judge me for the story I wrote; I was young (and clearly rather ridiculous) when I wrote it! I'm much more mature and brilliant these days, thank god.
Also, I wouldn't base too many of your opinions of me from the stories on my "favourite" list. I guess I'm just a bit list-happy. Most of the stuff on there is absolute crap that isn't worth anybody's time. Although, I'd recommend "My Life Is In Shambles" or "Trials of Affliction and Light Sleeping" if you're looking for a good laugh!

ESPN analyst Jon Gruden is welcoming all of the top 2016 NFL draft quarterback prospects onto his TV show, Gruden's QB Camp.
Likely first-round picks Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and Paxton Lynch headline the crop of seven signal-callers Gruden will put through the wringer in the classroom and on the field with intense drills, per ESPNfrontrow.com's Bill Hofheimer (via ESPN Monday Night):
Jon Gruden's QB Camp is back for a 7th year with 7 QB's. https://t.co/yLkwLRjbuJ pic.twitter.com/RUk8Qe5SP1— ESPN Monday Night (@ESPNMondayNight) March 2, 2016
Gruden's show debuts this year on April 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and will be broadcast across multiple affiliate networks leading up to the draft on April 28.
Hofheimer's news release also featured comments from Gruden on all seven quarterbacks he'll host on his show.
Gruden said of Goff, who closed his career at California with 19 touchdowns and one interception in his final four games, "He's a 21-year-old talent—a tough, productive quarterback. I love this kid. He's helped turn a program around. He runs an uptempo, no huddle offense. They ask a lot of him. He's special."
Goff may well be the first QB off the board, perhaps as soon as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns, who are still searching for a long-term solution under center.
But Wentz has a real chance to leapfrog Goff on draft day. Cleveland is rumored to prefer the North Dakota State product, who played in a pro-style offense, per Bleacher Report's Matt Miller:
According to Gruden, Wentz hasn't been discounted despite facing a lower level of college competition than the other prospects.
"Wentz has tremendous size and arm talent," Gruden said, per Hofheimer. "He's had some injuries, but all they do is win at North Dakota State. His Senior Bowl week put an exclamation point on his college career, and he has the NFL coaches and scouts stirring as we speak."
As for Lynch, the buzz around Wentz and the relative certainty Goff will be a success has quieted the conversation around him. It's impossible to look past the Memphis star's size, though, as he checked in at the NFL Scouting Combine at 6'7" and 244 pounds, per NFL.com.
Gruden appears to be intrigued by Lynch's potential after a 2015 campaign in which he threw 28 touchdowns to only four interceptions:
Lynch is one of the biggest quarterbacks you'll find. He was a single-wing quarterback in high school who wasn't really recruited by many programs. What he's done at Memphis is amazing to me—puts them in a bowl game, has them nationally ranked. He's come a long way in a short period of time. He's got a real upside.
Not to be dismissed are the other QBs Gruden is welcoming onto national TV. Other players who could hear their names called rather early in the draft are Connor Cook from Michigan State and Mississippi State standout Dak Prescott.
Questions linger about Cook's personality, while Prescott made tremendous strides as a pocket passer last year but still needs more polish to be a surefire NFL starter.
Penn State's Christian Hackenberg was 247Sports' No. 2 pro-style QB from the high school Class of 2013 and began his career with the Nittany Lions under the tutelage of current Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien.
Hackenberg's combination of physical tools and experience in NFL schematics may offset concerns about his rather lackluster play in 2015.
A player with similar risk but an undeniably high ceiling is Cardale Jones. After being thrust into a starting role late in 2014 and leading Ohio State to a national championship, Jones couldn't remain atop the depth chart. He may have the best arm of anyone in this 2016 draft class, though.
Gruden may have the deepest pool of pupils he's ever worked with, which should make his QB camp as compelling as ever in its seventh year.

The Founding of Aesthetics in the German Enlightenmentby Stefanie Buchenau
When, in 1735, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten added a new discipline to the philosophical system, he not only founded modern aesthetics but also contributed to shaping the modern concept of art or 'fine art'. In The Founding of Aesthetics in the German Enlightenment, Stefanie Buchenau offers a rich analysis and reconstruction of the origins of this new discipline in its wider context of German Enlightenment philosophy. Present-day scholars commonly regard Baumgarten's views as an imperfect prefiguration of Kantian and post-Kantian aesthetics, but Buchenau argues that Baumgarten defended a consistent and original project which must be viewed in the context of the modern debate on the art of invention. Her book offers new perspectives on Kantian aesthetics and beauty in art and science.

London to Brighton
Take on our popular London to Brighton Off-Road Bike Ride, and see if you can conquer Europe's biggest charity mountain bike event.
Join the Heart Riders team this September for an exhilarating 75 mile challenge along varied terrain. Your physical endurance levels will be put to the test - but it's worth every bead of sweat.
This event is now sold out and as a result you will not be able to sign up on the day
Saturday 24 September 2016
London to Brighton
Following a bumper registration period, this event has now reached capacity for 2016. Thank you to each and every one of the inspirational heart riders who have signed up to take on this epic challenge.
As places have sold out, there will be strictly no opportunity to sign up on the day. This capacity is in place for safety purposes and consequently must be obeyed. If you've missed out, we'd like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
2017 registration will be opening soon, but if you'd like something to take part in this year, why not check out the off-road route of our popular London to Milton Keynes Bike Ride instead?
Found on the bucket list of many a mountain bike enthusiast, this unique event packs all the best bits of off-road riding together into one jam-packed amazingly varied route that will provide you with a muddy adventure you'll never forget. From steep forest inclines to tricky technical descents, rocky paths to adrenaline pumping single tracks - we've got it all.
The variation means there's something on offer for cyclists of all abilities. There's plenty of technical sections to delight the off-road professional - but at 75 miles, the event also presents an achievable challenge to those new to the sport, especially with the help of our training advice and support.
Most importantly of all, by taking part in this challenge you'll be supporting and raising money for our life saving research. So what are you waiting for? Get your place now!
Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event. It's the money you raise that powers our life saving research.
Following participant feedback from last year, we're keen to ensure this year's event is bigger and better than ever before, as a result we've made the following improvements to your experience:

Froebel College,
University of Roehampton,
Roehampton Lane,
With the A3 and South Circular nearby the start location is well accessible by car. There will be free 'drop-off' car parks open from 06:00 at Queen Mary's Hospital (SW15 5PN) and Digby Stuart College Campus (SW15 5PU). Follow the signage on the day. Both car parks will be locked at 11:00 - so please do not park here for the duration of the event.
If you do need somewhere to park your car for the entire day, the nearest recommended NCP car park is Wandsworth Garratt Lane (SW18 4AU) - this is a 24 hour car park, situated 3.6 miles from the start - and a ticket purchased on the day will cost £7.80.
The nearest train station is Barnes, which is just a mile from the start location. If travelling from further afield London train stations such as Euston, Waterloo, Paddington, London Bridge and Kings Cross are all under 10 miles and a short cycle away.
Local accomodation
If you're in need of somewhere to stay either before or after this event, we've managed to secure an exclusive discount with Brook Kingston Lodge Hotel, which is just a short 20 minute cycle from the start line. Visit the Get Ready tab for more information.
Hove Lawns,
There will be a short stay car park available on Kings Road (BN3 2FR), this is very close to the finish. This is a pick up site for you to be collected after the ride and there is a maximum stay of 2 hours. Please ensure the parking voucher, which will you receive in your welcome pack, is displayed.
If you would like to stay for longer, there are other pay and display car parks nearby:
The finish site is 1 mile away from both Brighton and Hove train stations. The rail companies that serve these stations are both aware of the event but are not putting on any additional services. We therefore strongly recommend planning your journey in advance of the day and ensure you've consulted the relevant train company's bike policy.
Completely planned, organised and managed by the British Heart Foundation, this event exists in order to raise funds for our life saving research. Research that will, one day, put a stop to the devastation caused by heart disease.
Creating an online fundraising page is the easiest way to raise money. It takes a few minutes to set up and a link can then be easily shared with your friends and family on social media and by email. Remember, you're taking part in an amazing challenge - people will want to support you.
Create your online fundraising page
Take a look at our fundraising guide for other ideas, tips and support to help you smash your target.
This is a difficult ride and it's therefore essential that you're sufficiently prepared for the day and our Off-Road Bike Ride preparation zone is here to help.
Here you'll find lots of information about training, nutrition and what to expect - so you can turn up on the big day fully trained, fuelled and with the right kit, equipment, bike and tyres.
Preparation zone
As there is a chance of bad weather/fading light during the later parts of this event, we strongly recommend participants packing bike lights.
If you're looking for accommodation around the ride, Brook Kingston Lodge Hotel are offering an exclusive discount to all participants of this event:
The hotel is just a short 20 minute cycle from the start line and the perfect place to rest your muscles either before or after the event - or both.

Join the London to Brighton Off-Road Bike Ride Facebook event page to be the first to receive event updates and to talk to and share training advice and stories with your fellow participants before the ride.
Signing up for this challenge is no mean feat and we want you to tell all your friends and family just what you're doing and why. To help you spread the word we've created a range of social media profile pictures for you to use. Choose your favourite, upload it and start telling everyone what it means to be a Heart Rider. Don't forget to include a link to your JustGiving page.
British Cycling membership includes insurance and they'll donate £4 for every Ride Membership Package our riders sign up for. Find out about the great membership benefits.
We strongly recommend riders come with bike lights in case of bad weather and fading light during the evening sections of the ride.
You're taking part in Europe's biggest charity mountain bike event - and we know you're going to want a souvenir to mark the occasion and help you to remember it forever.
As a result we will have some event specific hoodies and t-shirts available to purchase at the finish line. These will be sold on a first come first serve basis.
We also have a full range of other cycling kit in our online cycling shop. Whether you're after something to wear on your training rides, an accessory you need or a gift for a loved one - start browsing and find something for you today. And with all proceeds going towards our life saving heart research, it gives the term guilt free shopping a whole new meaning!
If you're not sure what to wear on the day and what you need to bring with you, take a look at our recommended cycling kit list. You'll receive your participant number in the post just before the event.
As the ride is predominantly off-road, the route is not suitable for narrow wheeled bikes, slicks or road tyres. A hardtail mountain bike is ideal, although many others are also suitable. Make sure you think about your tyres as well, we recommend fast rolling ones such as Maxxis or Racing Ralphs. Semi-slick mountain bike tyres would also provide an enjoyable day, providing the trails are dry.
You will be set off in small waves every ten minutes. All participants will receive a safety briefing before starting the event.
The information point will be issuing replacement rider numbers and answering and queries. There will be no on the day registration at this year's event as the ride has reached capacity.
Please be aware that there will be a wait at the start line during the first hour of the event. In order to ensure your safety on the early sections of the ride, we can only release participants in small groups to avoid crowding - and a queue will therefore be inevitable. We will do our best to keep this to a minimum but please be patient.
You'll start at the University of Roehampton and follow some beautiful green spaces and rolling landscapes alongside the River Thames out of London on a flat, hard surface. You'll encounter some stunning views as you cycle through Weybridge, Shere, Southwater Country Park and Steyning. You'll then head through the South Downs which will take you on to the the descent into the Brighton finish line, where you'll bask in the glory of the welcoming crowd.
Please be aware that a section of route on the Downs Link in the Sinfold area (south of Rudgwick) is currently closed to the public. We've ensured that will be open, clear and safe on the day - but the path is officially still closed to the public. As a result the closure signs will remain in place - but please ignore these and follow the route and course arrows as planned.
This route has been designed by Rough Ride Guide.
We're proud of the unique varied nature of our route. You'll be faced with a number of different elements of mountain biking including tough climbs, technical descents, rocky surfaces, dirt trails, rough tracks, forest paths, rapid singletrack and the popular South Downs Link.
There are 3 major climbs along the route. The first, around 30 miles in, is a rough, narrow ascent - keep an eye out for tree roots - before taking you onto a very steep tarmacked section that will guide you to the summit.
You'll then face a tricky, technical descent, which will take you onto rest stop 2, where we recommend refuelling as shortly after you'll face a 3 metre technical off-road climb. After this you'll descend onto the picturesque Downs Link, a well-surfaced off-road trail, which you'll follow for 20 miles.
60 miles in, but we're not done with you yet. Now it's time to tame the beast and see if you can conquer The Bostal. A steep, rough, rutted 1km climb gaining 100 metres in height before taking you onto tarmac where the gradient is smaller, but you'll continue to climb for a further 2km before a final steep, rough kick to get you to the top of South Downs. You'll want to pause here, not only to catch your breath but also to take in a view out to the sea that will make every ounce of effort feel worthwhile.
From here, you're on the home straight. Some undulating tracks lead you across the Downs before dropping down one final descent on a rough track to the coast. The final 5m is along the flat, well surfaced promenade to the finish line.
Please also be aware that in order to get you to Brighton safely, there are some small road sections - these are just to connect you to the next bit of exhilarating mountain bike riding - but please don't be disheartened if you're met with a small section of tarmac.
Toilets will be available at the start, every water stop and at the finish.
Mobile cycle repair will also be available along the route and will be stationed at water stops.
Complimentary nutritional snacks will be available for participants along the route - details to be confirmed. There will also be hot drinks and food purchasable from the start, finish and at water stop 2 (Shere recreation ground).
Official water stops will be located at 15, 31, 52, 63 miles.
New for 2016, we're hoping to celebrate your epic achievement in completing this challenge by greeting you with a party at the finish line. Details to be confirmed but we can promise locally sourced food stalls, live music and entertainment and our Proud Cycling Partner Jaffa will also be on hand giving out oranges and fruit juice. There will of course also be toilets, first aid, water and a complimentary massage.
With lots still to confirm, it promises to be a memorable conclusion to an unbelievable day. Keep checking this page for more information. And if you have anyone coming to support you, make sure you share this information with them, so they can come down early and revel in the atmosphere.

Take the Bottoms Off Your Bottles for Instant Hurricanes
Italian Flint Bottle Hurricanes from NapaStyle over on Pinterest and since they're no longer available for sale, we're alright with suggesting diy alternatives. To get the job done you could use this string technique or possible look into other glass cutting alternatives like cutting devices. Not only does the bottle protect the candle flame from the wind if you're outside, but it will also keep small fingers from reaching in. Or large fingers if you're like my cousin Thomas who insisted on lighting his plastic fork on fire at our last informal family pot luck. High fives to you kid.

Another alternative investments giant is preparing for the eventual exit of its key executive.
The Blackstone Group is grooming six people as possible successors to founder and CEO Stephen Schwarzman, CNBC reports. The latest to join the group is Joe Baratta, recently named the firm's global head of private equity as part of a wider succession plan.
Schwarzman has no plans to retire; indeed, one senior Blackstone executive told CNBC that "Steve will never retire. He will die at his desk." But if he did in the next few years, Tony James, the firm's president and chief operating officer, would likely take over. The same insider said that James is not likely to be "leaving anytime soon."
The other senior Blackstone executives tapped to potentially take over from Schwarzman are Bennett Goodman, the head of GSO Capital Partners, Blackstone's credit hedge fund business; Jonathan Gray, head of real estate; Tom Hill, who leads the hedge fund team; Laurence Tosi, CFO; and Joan Solotar, head of investor relations.
Four of the six candidates are in their forties. Goodman is 54 and Hill is 63, just two years younger than Schwarzman.
